1, 2, and 5 for the autumn asks please!

Oh thank you! I can't wait for this hot weather to fuck off so I can start getting cute and cozy again. I am simply not built for the heat. And my heart yearns for spooky.

September, October or November?

I love October. It sounds orange to me. It feels like falling leaves and cold nights and smells like cinnamon apples. It contains the best holiday of the year, the one that speaks to my soul. I get to double up on the goth and spooky decor, adding it to my already goth and spooky decor 😅

And I love any excuse for a costume. I recently narrowed down my costume ideas for this year and I think I've found a winner. Let's just hope I can execute it properly now. 🖤🧡

2. Hot Cocoa or Hot Tea?

Nothing beats a good cupperty. My favourite thing to do with a cupperty is to just... look at it.

But no, in all seriousness I love a good hot cup of tea. Irish black tea just hits so right. A cup of hot tea solves anything. I have so many asthetic mugs for my tea.

And it's multiseasonal! Any time of year is the time for a cup of tea!

I don't know, there's some chocolate based things I really don't like. Don't like hot chocolate, don't like chocolate ice-cream, extremely picky about any chocolate I eat outside of Cadburys especially if it's that awful American stuff (sorry Americans ily but our chocolate is better! 😘)

3. Which Hocus Pocus movie character do you relate to?

Fuckin Dani. She's a god damn BOSS in pint sized packaging. She's so done with her older brothers teenage apathy and SAME. She fucks with the Sanderson sisters and is so completely not scared of them I LOVE her for it. She's a fucking badass.

Also she 100% knew what she was doing when she called Max out in front of Allison.

"Max likes your yabbos. In fact, he loves them!"

I mean... fucking queen level move right there.

That being said

As I get older, I find myself relating to the three sisters more.

Winnie's just general hatred for everything and irritation at everyone being beneath her speaks to my soul.

Mary can be so sweet (when she's not talking about killing children) and she has such a fun relationship with her sisters.

And literally everything about Sarah. I love Sarah.

Her *gasp* A BOY!!! kind of growl, I quote it all the god damn time, especially in this fandom 🤣

Eeee! These were so much fun! Thank you for asking my love! 😘

🪄✨I put a spell on you... to send me some Autumnal Asks!✨🪄

Pesya Altman - Irish Tea, 2020

My tea obsession comes to a head

Atlantic Canada seems to have held onto the tea culture of our British heritage much stronger than many other parts of the country, so as a consequence I have been a tea drinker all my life. Tea has been a staple in my house and the households of my close friends as long as I can remember. We have many brands this side of the pond that are considered standard such as Red Rose and King Cole, but I tend to prefer British tea. In particular, Yorkshire Gold is my personal cup but I've flirted with many brands.

Having said this, I'm curious if my bias to Yorkshire is based in true taste or just because I'm fetishizing a different tea from what I grew up on (which was Red Rose) and so I have gone through the effort of procuring every brand of tea I could get my hands on in Nova Scotia in the interest of performing a blind taste test to find out which tea I truly prefer.

I have found, via British import stores and local grocers:

Red Rose

King Cole

Morse's

Lipton

Tetley

Yorkshire Gold

PG Tips

Twinings

Typhoo

Barry's

Scottish Blend

That is eleven separate teas, surely among this list I am bound to find which is my true preference.

I will update with my results.

From a special Honey and Sis shortwave worldcast for St. Patrick's Day

SIS: We should apologise for the shortwave intrusion, delusion even--

HONEY: Apologies Snagglepuss there, listeners.

SIS, continuing: --on St. Patrick's Day celebrations on your part, but in getting this worldcast on the shortwave ether, we have a special desire in targeting Ireland, whose national day happens to be today, as matter of fact.

HONEY: And with that in mind, we'd like to encourage especially such of you listening over in Ireland to send us your QSL reports, to see if we're coming through across the Auld Sod.

SIS: Or, for that matter, the Greater Irish Diaspora throughout the world, never mind how you may be celebrating. Which, in our case, will be with some decently strong Irish tea and Lion bars which we were able to get a carton of online.

HONEY: Not to mention some Irish stew simmering on the slow cooker and some Irish soda bread as well. Somehow, I think all the emphasis on St. Patrick's Day being a liquor-soaked such, in particular with the likes of Guinness Stout, Harp Lager and Jameson's and Old Bushmills Irish Whisky, is doing something of a disservice to the Irish of all nations.

SIS: Hence, our preferring to have some good strong Irish tea; as I understand it, the Irish happen to be quite the tea drinkers, and prefer their tea rather strong-flavoured. And hearty, as well, perhaps befitting their rather wet and dreich climate.

HONEY: Not to mention wondering who among us Funtastic-type characters would be considered as having Irish background themselves, let alone an Irish brogue in their vocals.

SIS, as an aside: Just so you know ... we also got the Irish tea online ...

Post BTSV Juneteenth where Miles requires Miguel to pay him reparations cause, in Miles own words, “Those slams on the train felt racially motivated.” and he can’t argue with the kid on Juneteenth.
