#my little irish marshmallow

[harrywavycurly]

It’s been 8 years since Harry said “I mean…” and slapped his box closed on tattoo roulette while Niall recovered from a panic attack right next to him and I’ve thought about it everyday since.

[greghatecrimes]

You said you used to be a barista? Any headcanons on how our darlings at PPTH take their hot cocoa?<3

I did used to be a barista indeed!! <3 Oh this is such a good question, I'm much more of a hot cocoa than a coffee person myself so I absolutely love it.

These are based more on vibes than anything else:

House: With a near obscene amount of mini marshmallows sprinkled in, and a very healthy spiral of whipped cream on top of that. Like, tall enough that it looks like it might tip over. Half the time he probably makes it that big just to be obnoxious/see the ducklings' reactions lol

Wilson: Either normal hot chocolate (homemade though, not the powder/instant mix kind. Only ever homemade! Probably chides House whenever he sees him going for the hot cocoa powder and then stops him, takes over, and makes a big batch of luxurious homemade hot chocolate. (little does he know that was house's master plan all along.)), or he goes like... super indulgent and enjoys something like salted caramel hot cocoa every once in a while. If such a recipe exists.

Cuddy: Let's be real, it most likely wouldn't be a hot chocolate, it would be a mocha. That caffeine fuels her through her day. Unless she's at home with Rachel for a snow day or something. Then it's the good ol' swiss miss they keep a box of in the pantry. Rachel likes to put rainbow sprinkles on top with her mini marshmallows, and somehow there's always a little handful of them that end up in Cuddy's mug, too.

Cameron: Peppermint hot chocolate, one thousand percent! I wrote a post about coffee orders a while ago and I mentioned that Cameron totally seems like a peppermint mocha girl to me. The same carries over for hot chocolate, too. She'd be happy drinking peppermint hot chocolate any time of year, no matter the weather! (And I love her for it). I think it would be a total comfort drink for her. Very grounding. <3

Chase: Similar to the coffee orders, I think Cameron introduces him to peppermint hot chocolate, and he ends up really enjoying it. I think he'd also enjoy just plain hot chocolate with a small layer of whipped cream on top. (I'm picturing that it's the kind where the whip is about even with the rim of the glass, so that when you drink the first couple sips, you usually end up getting a whipped cream mustache). ALSO? Bailey's hot chocolate (hot cocoa recipe spiked w/Bailey's Irish Cream liqueur). Great nightcap on a cold winter night.

Foreman: Like I said, a lot of these are based on vibes alone. My man is really giving me "Hot cocoa with Nutella stirred in" vibes rn. Or something else that'll give it a nice, rich hazelnut flavor alongside the chocolate. Anything that adds more depth to the flavor instead of stacking on the sweetness. I can see him liking a dark chocolate hot cocoa with some dark cherry extract added in, too!

Kutner: Hot chocolate infused with orange extract, from a recipe specially made so that it tastes like you're drinking the equivalent of one of those chocolate oranges. Everyone thinks he's nuts until he convinces them to try it, and then they're all absolutely hooked.

Thirteen: I have two thoughts in my mind. One: I think she'd like both white hot chocolate and milk chocolate hot cocoa. Two: She strikes me as the type of person who would get a craving for hot chocolate in the summer, but absolutely NOT want the sensory feel of a hot drink when it's hot out. So she takes hot chocolate powder and mini marshmallows and mixes them into a glass of cold milk. House calls her out on it and is like "you're just drinking glorified chocolate milk at this point." Kutner immediately jumps to her defense and says "it's not chocolate milk, it's cold chocolate." (Then he makes himself a glass of "cold chocolate" and is like "This is actually pretty good!" and then orders an iced mocha with no espresso in it every day for the next week)

Taub: Dark chocolate hot cocoa. Something that's not too, too sweet, but still has a good cocoa flavor. Maybe this part is because I'm POTS-y/probable EDS and need way more salt than average (and thus fucking LOVE salt), but I feel like he'd enjoy sprinkling little sea salt crystals on top. Then it tastes like one of those fancy dark chocolate candy bars you can get at trader joe's.

Bonus Amber, just like in the coffee questions: Homemade chocolate infused with pure raspberry extract. And just a little bit of whipped cream on top (probably also homemade). (I adore her)

This was so much fun to think about! Thank you for the ask, anon! <3

I am very into the idea of a Curt & Bucky modern day AU. If not for the war where do you think they would have met?

Ooohhhhu yesss I totally see them having a meetcute somewhere mundane as fuck like the grocery store. Omg…… idk why I love emphasizing Curt’s stature and blowing it out of proportion (or shrinking him so teeny tiny ) but it’s my world

Curtis is, what feels like, fifteen trillion dollars in debt.

School is doing him in, drilling his poor head into its grave day by day and the only relief he really gets these days is getting stoned out of his mind and grocery shopping in the wee hours of the night when only the shopkeep roams the isles every now and again, perhaps judging the items in his basket.

For some reason, as one might have it, his most cherished items live upon the highest shelves.

In his state, luckily for everyone, he doesn’t mind getting a little creative.

He stood on the bottom shelf, reached toward the stars and when his fingers brushed the box of cereal he so desperately needed, he knocked it backward and out of reach completely.

“Hey.” A voice rumbles behind him, so close Curtis could feel their warmth. “Uh. Do you, like, need a hand — or..“

Curt’s cheeks went red hot, a warm rush flooding his every vessel with liquid embarrassment. “No.” He huffs, jumping down from the shelf and turning toward the man who’d stood behind him, neck craned to give him a proper once over. “I like strainin’ myself to reach shit. It’s a humbling experience.”

The stranger snorted a chuckle out of his nostrils, his nose scrunched as he criticizes Curt’s taste in breakfast cereals, which he most certainly would be eating for lunch or dinner. “Lucky Charms?”

He almost extended a hand to pull them down, but stopped.

“Hey, I got Irish in my blood, big guy.” Curt was suddenly looking around for something else to climb atop, if this nosey stranger wasn’t going to be any help. “Me and Lucky are probably related somehow.” He tried reaching again, “Watch how you speak on my family.”

Bucky couldn’t stop laughing.

He doubled over, even.

He’d been so close to the floor, he found a box of Lucky Charms on the bottom shelf, the very one Curt had been putting his feet on to reach the top. “Hey,” he speaks through his laughter, reaching down to pick up a box. “Extra magical marshmallows in this one.”

“Oh,” Curtis grabs the box and stares at it, assuming it would do the trick. “Don’t you know what they say, though? Less is more, or somethin’?”

Bucky nods slowly, taking in the sight of the boy in front of him. Tired looking and tiny, sweatpants and a big fluffy New York sweater. Less is certainly more, and it’s all right in front of him. “You gotta point, New York.” He grabs the box, plops it back onto the shelf and turns himself again to a baffled Curtis. “Wanna go eat some real food?”

Hunter x Hunter character scent hcs 🌬️

This is kinda for laughs but also I tried to make it reasonable, hope you enjoy♡

XX Gon: maple syrup or a chuck-e-cheese playhouse. no in between

XX Killua: some fresh expensive laundry smell 🙄 (gain fireworks beads), or sweat + campfire/burning smoke⚡️

XX Kurapika: faint pine needles & vanilla (😀??) hard to tell but whatever it is always smells the strongest right below his ear towards the back of his neck kiss

XX Leorio: hot cologne I just KNOW bro smells MMMM (more specifically maybe a mahogany teakwood type of delicious 👏)

XX Kite: my beloved. His smell is so comforting, it’s like wrapping yourself up in a blanket of honeysuckle and dewy grass.

XX Morel: yes obvi smoke but tbh… a hot whiff of that rich & refreshing incense smell that makes your head all cloudy 😵‍💫 [China rain, anyone?]

XX Knov: defeat. Probably wouldn’t have a defining smell, maybe something really light like mint

XX Knuckle: manly, gotta be like sweat and old spice deodorant 🔥

XX Shoot: absolutely nothing. It is bizarre how scentless he is

XX Palm: an unsettling dark berry candle

XX Biscuit: marshmallow fluff

XX Melody: smells like a friend. A friend that smells of citrus fruit.

XX Illumi: I bet he smells intoxicating but it’s eerie, similar to how some people like to sniff gasoline. This is so specific but y’know the heat residue smell when you flat iron your hair or iron clothes? That plus a deep forest musk or red wine note idk it smells good but gives u the creeps

XX Hisoka: I can’t imagine him not smelling like blood or at least somewhat metallic underneath. But he covers it up with some flower bomb type of perfume 💀

XX Chrollo: god he smells sexy. Sandalwood, rose water, maybe some vanilla bean or cinnamon or other deep spice in there? It’s the perfect blend of sexy musk and spicy with a little sweet on top. scent will put u on ur knees

XX Feitan: straight up smells like Hot Topic. musky & musty <3

XX Nobunaga: smells cool tbh, reminiscent of stormy weather, or how hot asphalt smells when it starts pouring rain (I rlly like that smell)

XX Machi: very clean like white tea, lemon, or lavender. You have to be super close to her to actually catch a whiff

XX Uvo: weird. Not good or bad necessarily, just the combo he has going on isn’t working with him like ginger or black pepper and salty ocean body wash

XX Shalnark: kinda basic but at least it isn’t bad, smells like clean linen tbh

XX Paku: a refined, strong scent. Amber or black cherry balsamic vinegar (trust me) something unique and a lil sensual

XX Phinks: icyhot. The icy hot muscle pain reliever stuff. (Peppermint, menthol) and honestly… it smells pretty good

XX Shizuku: grape jelly. That’s it. Idk how she smells like she spilled the whole jar on herself every day but somehow she does.

XX Ging: ……… literally dust. I feel like he smells like whatever the hell he was around that day, (a swamp, animals, fish, the sewer 🗿) never smells the same two days in a row, even his sweat smell doesn’t repeat 😖

XX Pariston: Irish spring soap bc the best liars and manipulators I knew always used that shit LMAO but yeah pariston would smell clean + good as to not offend any nostrils unlike ging

[maskyartist]

Okay but I've been thinking about the tiny puppy getting adopted by the Putt Putt cats thing I mentioned and. Okay not to shove my oc into this but I was thinking about Birdie, Clay and Viva's daughter, or yknow any other kid in the Putt Putt trolls for that matter, befriending this little puppy, and everyone else is like okay well it's not that big, so we guess you can keep it--except then the dog grows up to be absolutely MASSIVE, like Irish wolfhound levels massive, and everyone's panicking but now the kid and the dog have a BOND and they can't be separated so everyone just has to deal with it. The good news is the dog was raised by cats so he's really not as aggressive / hyperactive as he could be.

(I HAD TO GIVE THIS SOMETHIN INCANT DRAW RN HAVE A DRABBLE-)

“T-Rex is settling pretty nicely! All the kiddies love him, he’s super friendly.” Viva skips to her own tune as she leads Clay to the center of the course.

Dinner was soon, and it was the best time for them to talk shop about work details. Clay’s already filled her in on the paper and safety side of things during the walk, and now Viva was talking to him about the newest feral cats in their little community here.

Hole in Fun wasn’t just their home, it was the home for these furry friends. Plenty of cats, each their own amount of injured and scorned by creatures bigger and badder than them, flock to the safety of the golf course. Clay suspects that, with their constant feeding and caring of these animals, word spreads fast in the feral community. They’ve had kittens scaling their walls and settling into patches of empty, unused golfing dirt and turf within the next week of befriending Scrap Metal.

Soft Boy, Marshmallow, Spikes, Thorn, Whipped Cream, Cupcake, Sprinkles, all the cats were named by the community and they were all loved. Some were simple passerbys in their lives, Mossball and Fungus being two who regularly come and go as they please, a mere visit, but others were like T-Rex. Permanent stays who made it clear they weren’t going anywhere anytime soon. Especially with how happily he plays with the little Trollings that run around his paws.

“And the adults like him, too?” Clay prompts, watching T-Rex jump for one of the Trollings, falling over himself in the process. He’s a clumsy one, that’s for sure. Him and his broad tail. He’s knocked over more then a few displays already, but thankfully, he’s just tall enough to avoid their Pods.

Viva just nods, a broad smile on her face. “Everyone loves him! He’s made a good home here, I’m sure of it.” She says with confidence, nodding in approval only a Queen could provide.

Clay simply chuckles. He will admit, the cats have done a world of good for their Trolls’ mental health. It seems having the extra life and security around has people less paranoid and more willing to settle. It’s comforting, knowing they’re finally able to grow a life, a real life out here.

Still, he watches the kitten jump with the kids, and tilts his head. “Say, looking at it…isn’t T-Rex a bit…different? From the other cats?”

“Mr.Clay!” Viva lightly punches his shoulder, making Clay pout. “We do not judge people for their differences.”

“Yeah, but…Viva…”

There’s a clear difference between this feral cat and the rest of them within Hole in Fun’s walls. For one, he’s bigger then the rest. Not by too much, he’s certainly no Dessel who sleeps proudly atop their tallest hill near the back of the golf course, but he’s…bigger. Thicker limbs and body. He eats more, with larger teeth. He doesn’t meow, or purr, but barks with sharp noises. He’s learned to control his volume, but he’s not the same. He’s bigger, stronger, louder…

One thing is very clear to Clay.

“That’s not a cat.” He finishes, gesturing to the puppy that rolls around with the littlest Putt Putts, the children all excited for their newest friend who seems to be endless fun. “I’m pretty sure that’s a dog, actually.”

Viva crosses her arms, looking at the so-called dog in question. “No way! That’s totally a cat! I should know, there’s dozens of them here.”

“His paws are huge!” Clay argues, shaking his head. “Actually, he’s big, period. I’m pretty sure he’s gonna grow up to be huge…” Can dogs outgrow a golf course? He hopes not, they only have so much stuff here.

“He’s just a bit bigger than the other cats.” Viva waves off, a confident smirk on her face as she looks at Clay. “If he’s a dog, why does he love climbing so much, hm?”

Clay blinks, opening his mouth, before closing it once again in thought. She has a point. T-Rex, named by the little ones for his short front legs, had a love for climbing. He wasn’t good at it, dull nails and general clumsiness kept him falling from heights he couldn’t catch himself at. But, he did do it a lot. Dogs weren’t fans of heights, were they? Clay wishes those pet books had less on insects and more on these bigger, Bergen-kept beasts. Cats, dogs, if he knew the differences properly he could be confident.

“Oh!” Viva leans forward, confidence surging. “And, if he is a dog, why doesn’t he pant? Or land wrong?” She points at him. “He always lands on his paws! He’s a very good cat, and it’s rude of you to say he’s not.”

For now, however, he must concede. He simply doesn’t know enough to say she’s wrong.

So, with a sigh, Clay dips into a deep, dramatic bow. “Oh, your highness! Forgive me for my incompetence, questioning your judgement is the last thing I would ever wish-ack!” Clay snickers as he’s shoved lightly, fumbling to his feet to give Viva a grin of his own. “I guess, for now, he’s a cat.”

“For now.” Viva agrees, a giggle on her lips. With ease, she moves to stand at Clay’s side, paws intertwining between gaps of their fingers. “Your Queen demands it!”

“Ah, whatever the Queen wants, the Queen receives!” Clay pretends, the two falling into light laughter as they hurry for the kitchen, eager to finally fill their stomachs after a long day of work.

T-Rex was safe, fed, and happy. Dog, cat, it doesn’t matter much, Clay supposes.

As long as he’s a good boy, he always has a place within Hole in Fun.

The Terrible Alfred Spožek exhibit of the Museum of Modern Hurt opened today. I took my wife and her children to see what all the fuss and bluster was about. A guard stopped us at the entrance and told us the exhibit was full and there would be an hour wait, then handed us a restaurant pager and showed us to an empty exhibit by one Giulia Bhoulârd. It was a series of crayon and lard paintings of naked men gripping their cock and balls in one hand and eating a variety of sandwiches in the other. Needless to say I didn't cover the kid's eyes, because I couldn't give a shit about the little bastards.

After about 20 minutes, our restaurant pager buzzed, so we shuffled back out into the main hall. The guard took our pager and led us into the exhibit, which was shielded by a pair of thick blackout curtains. When our eyes adjusted to the dark, we realized we were surrounded by hundreds of knives, and before we could turn around, the guard had already piled more people in behind us. We were about 40 adults and 10 children, and the room could hardly accomodate a party half that size. I was immediately separated from the kids, which provided a small sense of relief in the odd atmosphere.

Eventually, the curtains' rhythmic parting ceased and the room was full. The murmur of the crowd died to a chill hush as a spotlight shown above us. Mr. Spožek was sitting in an extremely high chair, much like the chair of a lifeguard, in the center of the room. He began to speak through the microphone clipped to his sweater vest.

" Ladies and gentlemen, today it is my great pleasure to present to you my latest piece, commissioned and sponsored by the museum's board of patrons. It is the sole piece in my exhibit, and I assure you all it is unforgettable. Without further ado, let's begin." Suddenly, I noticed the pair of construction-grade noise protection ear muffs on his head, and I instantly developed a very unpleasant sensation in my chest, much akin to the time I ate a vegetarian hoagie that gave me food poisoning. I never trusted a Subway™️ again.

With his rather vague introduction concluded, umělec a malíř Alfred Spožek snapped his fingers, and 100 trillion knives shot out of the walls and directly into every single person in the room. Not a single human being, save for the man in the high chair, could possibly escape the trajectory of the projectiles. We were trapped like hogs in a slaughterhouse pen, and the machines were hungry. I felt my muscles and sinew twist and rupture as the mass of my flesh was split and pushed aside by the cold stainless steel of the cutlery. The unceasing projectile fire of the wall-cannons shook the entire building.

My first, piercing thought upon feeling the sensation was of the time in high school I roasted marshmallows on the beach with the foreign language studies club to commemorate our exchange students' final day in the country. My best friend of 12 years, Alex Stewart, had just pierced my cheek with a red hot poker after trying to feed me his burnt marshmallow. After a drunken half-assed attempt to treat me with the first aid kit in his glove box, we made out for 40 minutes and I never saw him again. I saw my dumb wife's stupid face twist into shock as the knives struck her and all I could think about was Alex's dick and how much I had wanted to see it. Last I heard he was working for an Irish indie game studio or some shit like that. I couldn't believe I had missed out on that entire package just for this dumbass wife who didn't even know you have to keep the fridge closed or the milk will spoil, or her shitty kids who asked me over and over how an RC car works, even when I had already explained down to the excruciating detail how RF waves work and why I won't allow them in my household. I'm glad I was separated from them in this moment. They'd probably ask me how knives can fly.

After about 5 minutes of utter carnage, Alfred Spožek slowly climbed down from his wooden high chair, and rubbed his fingers over the slash and claw marks that had accumulated over the day. He sighed and waved at the guard. "That was the last batch for the day. Tell the waiting guests and notify the crew for me, would you please?" He turned on his heels and stepped directly onto my penis as he walked out.

I hope Alex never comes to this stupid fucking museum.

We went to a nice very irish pub last night with an open fireplace and a bowl of marshmallows and everyones encouraged to toast a few right. My sister and i share a love of sticking them right in the fire and burning them lol we just like the flavour and its fun to wave around a little flame like a wizard with a torch in a cave. You understand. Its quicker too the rate at which u get to eat them is quicker if u just go full hog. And men nearby at the bar would genuinely not stop coming up to us like ‘no let me show you the right way to do it’ it was so infuriating. Cant even toast a feckin marshmallow without a bloke youve never met tryna tell you what he thinks. Related but i also tried lady guinness tonight and discovered i still dont like guinness. How is everyone.

Sorry, my Tumblr keeps glitching, this was a request (I don't remember who sorry)

The prompt was something like: Steve x Reader. Reader moves back to Hawkins to open a cafe. Dustin knows reader as OG babysitter/family friend. And he decides to set the two up

Dustin knew this was either going to be a super awesome idea, or blow up completely in his face by getting his two favorite babysitters mad at him.

You had moved back to Hawkins after a few years, you were Dustin's babysitter. You were eventually hired by Mrs. Wheeler, Joyce, and Mrs. Sinclair.

The official babysitter. You always watched the kids. You weren't that popular in high school, so nothing was planned for your weekends. Except babysitting either the whole party on D and D nights, or just a few select kids who needed to be watched.

But, you mostly babysat dustin. You had missed him in the three years you had been gone. And you had only come back due to a call you got in the middle of the night.

It was fall night in 1986, Dustin called you and explained everything that had happened. You, of course, freaked out and moved instantly.

So, here you were, working at your little cafe. It was peaceful, and know you could be around the kids. You couldn't believe most of them would be driving soon.

You carefully pour an Irish coffee and bring it out to a woman who looks like she is going through it. She thanks you and hands you money before rushing out.

She ordered the coffee with triple the amount for liquor you usually put. You thought you might of recognized her, she and her husband always argued when you had passed by them.

You pull your head out of clouds as you see Robin walk in with Nancy. The two were really good friends. They always came to see you on Thursdays.

After being here only a few months, everything had been slowly working out. You had a decent amount of regular customers, and we're friends with all of Dustin's new friends.

"Hey, Y/N," Robin smiles at you and Nancy gives you a small smile.

"What did the boyfriend do this time?" You joke and Nancy rolls her eyes.

"And, robin. I reserve the right to serve you anything but decaf. Nancy will thank me later," you say and Robin gives a small pout but chooses something with plenty of sugar to make up with it.

Nancy just gets a fairly plain coffee. You hurry up on both of their orders before handing them to the girls, they pay, thank you, and run off to go do something else.

"Hey yn," Dustin calls and you see him walk in with Steve. You smile and start on a coffee for Steve, and a hot chocolate with exactly 13 mini marshmallows.

"What brings you both by?" You ask as Steve gets out his wallet, "No, it's on the house," you insist and he tries to argue.

Dustin takes his coco," Don't even try to argue with her. It's a losing battle," Dustin smiles and walks away to leave you and Steve.

"He's playing matchmaker isn't he?" You ask with a smile and Steve almost choked on his coffee.

Steve looks over at Dustin who is sitting at a table trying to look normal while smiling like he won the lottery.

"He is always up to something," Steve answers and gives you a smile, "Think it's working,"

You don't respond and press a small kiss on his lips, you hear Dustin yell 'YES I KNEW IT' before he acts like he didn't say anything.

Steve has a bright red tint to his cheeks and stutters out something before running off with dustin.

That kid was always up to something.

for reference, the late late toy show is an annual production streamed on the rte in ireland in place of the late late show on the last friday of november. it features ryan tubridy being very panicked over how many childrens toys hes breaking, trying not to have a repeat of The Fanta IncidentTM and seeing how many quick changes one person can do in an hour. the late late show has been broadcast every week since the rte was established making it the longest running tv show in irish history.

yea that was just me being a history nerd, we continue

for the sake of the story, pretend uranium is a town in the middle of nowhere... but in ireland

constance makes hot chocolate every year, with whipped cream, marshmallows, cinnamon flakes, the works

imagine ned flanders hot chocolate

that

she also has more boxes of roses than any one person should have

because roses are the best

and she shares them with the rest of the choir

her and ocean do matching toy show pyjamas, with the little owl on them

fluffy socks, open fire on (oop-), loads of blankets

ocean drinks more caffeine than youve ever seen a human consume healthily in the hour beforehand

she conks out at ten otherwise

she loves doing the matching pyjamas with constance every year, shes the one who came up with the idea

she brings celebrations! bc its hers and noels favourite

she eat the bounties bc she thinks coconut is really nice

noel hates that, but it means he gets to eat all of the good ones before ocean starts on them

noel does face masks during the show, and laughs at every single kid who falls over during the ride-ons

every

single

one

if noel was irish i hc that he was a toy show kid

he auditioned with ocean and they went on as that one pair of little kids who are best friends and make sure you know it

they got to go on a holiday to france and ocean got a meeting with micky d

mischa did all of the competitions when they used to run them

and then they started doing the donations and he would donate his whole bank account

bc he could win this too

he couldnt win that bc you cant win donating

but hes gonna try

penny likes the toy testers, she loves seeing them all get excited over the toys and the games

she thinks their so cute

she buys one of those owl teddy/cushion things, and yk those tesco teddies they show every year?

she buys them the second they come out

partially because theyre incredible

partially bc 'mischa thought he won donating?? beat this'

ricky likes the dancing and the video game kids

he also like seeing them get their surprises after they toy test

him and penny are constantly pointing out the hints ryan gives before the surprise is revealed, like

oh my god hes gonna do it

when the whole womens football team showed up this year they lost it

like omg its the whole football team

OMG THEY GAVE THEM TICKETS TO THE EUROS

they were living for this little kid drama

everyone sleeps over at constances on the night

usually they hang out at mischas but theres something about having a cozy homey toy show watch thats so amazing

I'm trying to just get reoccurring characters but there are so many memorable characters

[tiredassmage]

1 & 2 for tyr!

Literally probably the most deserving and in-need of being rolled up into a pile of blankets like a burrito. Give him a raise. Assign him a nap. (Wholesome oc questions) Maybe it's not therapy, but, hey. xD

1 - What is there go-to comfort food?

Food questions are the bane of my picky-eater existence, lol, fun fact. (Additional bonus, don't take me out unless I can order chicken tenders lol). Anyway! I couldn't call him particularly culinary-inclined, but I think there remains much to be said for the gentle ritual of a slow-cooked stew. Possibly influenced by coming home from work tonight to the crockpot on the counter. Half of the almost ritually calming part of this endeavor would be having the time to make it himself, tbh. He's such a stubborn bastard to convince to take time off, but... it's nice. Once you convince him, you've won the real battle. The rest is just enjoy getting him out of his work for as long as possible, lol.

2 - Give them a warm drink of your choice, what would it be? Would their choice differ from yours?

Handing him hot chocolate. I'm not particularly into alcoholic beverages - one part effort, time, etc, into cocktails/mixed drinks and mostly just because I don't partake often enough to sink time and ingredient holding into the things I enjoy when I go out, so my offering is likely to just be the general classic. Those like. ones you melt down in your cup though with the chocolate and marshmallows are amazing and half the fun is melting and stirring yourself (bonus for starting with chocolate milk? I like my chocolate, okay), so that'd be my choice.

Tyr's more likely add a little extra kick if serving himself. Something like an Irish Coffee, maybe? Or just spiking the hot chocolate, tbh. Cutting alcohol though, I could also see him going for a warm cinnamon apple cider. That, we could both get behind.

There was this one local place when I lived in the northeast 'States that had BANGING cider and I MISS IT SO MUCH.

I can be wooed by things containing rum, it seems, if he's interested in luring me instead though, lol. That seems to be the common culprit in my mixed drink preferences.

We'll not speak of how many tabs these took me to answer lknaldsfndsalkfnlsdf. (I'm not counting them, you can't make me)

[cakesexuality]

so columbus day is a Big Deal in spain (... duh) and I sorta kinda absolutely abhor ✨everything✨ about it <3 so we're inventing a new holiday. What is the holiday about, how to celebrate and why is it important?

I can't think of a new holiday, so I'm gonna give my reviews on some of the holidays we have in Canada

Valentine's - Cute! Flowers and hearts, pink and red. Even if you're not in a relationship, you can give little treats and gifts to your friends and family. 9/10.

Mardi Gras - Who doesn't like pancakes? This sometimes coincides with Roll Up The Rim To Win (a yearly contest where your Tim Horton's cup might reveal a prize under the lip) because they want everyone to get their coffee in before giving it up for Lent. 6/10.

St. Patrick's Day - A big middle finger to the idea that Irish Americans and Irish Canadians should conform to the expectations of mainstream Canadian and American culture. College students have a reputation of getting too wild on this day, though. 6/10.

Easter - Very strange that we are supposedly a secular country and yet our society comes to a halt several times a year for only one religion, but also... chocolate and jellybeans and marshmallows. 5/10

Victoria Day - We can do without this one. Fireworks and colonisation. Celebrated by doing the exact same things we do for multiple other holidays, like, drinking and fireworks?? What is this, New Year's Eve??? 0/10.

Canada Day - Victoria Day Part 2: Electric Boogaloo. 0/10.

Thanksgiving - Harvest festival brought over from Europe. We had a successful growing season, let's eat! But also we eat pretty much all of these foods at Christmas, so it doesn't feel unique. 5/10.

Halloween - My favourite holiday! Costumes, candy, horror, spoopy. 10/10.

Christmas - Same complaint as Easter with our whole society shutting down for a couple days. But then there's all of the treats, like sugar cookies. And I like my little Christmas tunes, like Hard Candy Christmas by Dolly Parton. And also I'm a mom friend and my love language is gift giving so it's like... I love you, have this toothpaste, merry Christmas. 5/10.

New Year - This terrible year is over, thank God (me at the end of 2016). We could perhaps scrap the fireworks, though. 6/10.

Last Full Week in Ireland

Hi everyone! This week has been action packed as usual with trips to Belfast, Killarney, and downtown Dublin. This week is also my last full week in Ireland so I’ve definitely been trying to make the most of it.

Belfast

On Monday, our program went on a day trip to Belfast in Northern Ireland which is actually part of the United Kingdom. In Belfast, we visited the Titanic Museum where we learned about the history of Belfast as well as how and why the Titanic was built in Belfast. 

The Titanic Belfast Museum 

After a few hours in the museum, we had a quick lunch before going on a tour of various neighborhoods in Belfast. Our tour guide grew up in Belfast and was an active Republican that fought during the Troubles several decades ago. He showed us several of the peace walls that were built to separate the unionist protestants and the nationalist catholics in Northern Ireland. Those walls still separate neighborhoods in Northern Ireland and nobody knows for sure when they will be taken down.

Trivia and Karaoke

The UCD Clubhouse Bar held its first trivia night this Tuesday so a few friends and I formed a team and competed. Unfortunately, we took second place and missed out on a free round of drinks, but we still had a ton of fun. After the bar closed, we played Manhunt which is basically a mix of hide-and-go-seek and capture the flag for several hours in the courtyard outside the bar before heading back to our apartments. On Thursday, the bar hosted another karaoke night that we decided to go to. A few of us (including me) had quite a bit to drink because it was going to be one of the last times we would be able to before we leave next week. One important takeaway from that night is that singing the piña colada song with everyone around you after a few drinks is one of the greatest things you’ll ever experience.

Killarney

Since our program didn’t have any trips planned for this weekend, our group decided to go on a day trip to Killarney on Saturday (massive thank you to Grace, aka Groc, for planning and booking the entire trip for us). We woke up extremely early in order to be on a bus by 6:00 am to the train station in Dublin. We then boarded a three hour train to Killarney. Once we arrived in Killarney, a few taxis took us to a small village where we would begin a 7 mile hike. In the village was an adorable little cafe where I ordered nutella and marshmallow pancakes and an Irish coffee with Baileys. The pancakes were delectable and the coffee was also pretty good. Once we all finished whatever we ordered we began our two and a half hour hike through the mountains. The entire hike was picturesque with small lakes and charming little sheep greeting you as you rounded every bend in the trail.

A few photos from the rest of the hike

At the end of the hike was a boat tour that took us through a few of the major lakes in the Killarney National Park. The tour was just as amazing as the hike and ended at a castle that was renovated into a small museum. 

Views from the boat tour

After the boat tour, we were taxied back to downtown Killarney where we ate at the Curious Cat Cafe. I ordered a steak sandwich and a peanut butter, chocolate, and banana smoothie and it was one of the greatest meals of my life. 

True greatness in meal form

Once we finished eating, we walked back to the train station to return to Dublin. We arrived back in Dublin a little after 11 pm and didn’t get back to our apartments till after midnight, but it was all worth it. 

This concludes my blog for this week. Thank you all for reading and I hope you enjoyed it! Until next time!

at work we have “staff picks” drink that are video game themed, and I came up with 2/4 and I just named them after the title of the video game, but my coworkers who came up with the other two named them after things in their respective games. and the person who actually wrote them on the little chalkboard abbreviated one to RDR2 and apparently someone tried to order an R2D2, so I feel like I should come up with a new name after something in the game.

The drink is a strawberry s’mores latte. because the strawberry syrup is red and s’mores (chocolate and toasted marshmallow syrup) works because there’s always campfires n shit in the game. can’t be “The O’Driscolls” because that would be Irish cream. idk about “the Van der Linde Gang” bc ppl probably wouldn’t know how to say it. “Morgan”/”Arthur Morgan” is kind of boring? I could name it after one of the camps maybe that might be too obscure

if i want to rename Kingdom Hearts that’ll be easy. I aimed for tropical (coconut amaretto) so I’d just call it Destiny Island bc that’s what I was going for.

feel free to leave suggestions if you’ve played RDR2
