Preliminary Gayeties: Preparatory Materials for Interested Parties

Greetings, all! As you may be aware, @barricadescon​ (x) is happening this weekend. Myself (x), @shitpostingfromthebarricade​ (x), and @grantairelibere (x) will be hosting one of the social night panels, and we are BEYOND excited! Below, I’ve got a bit more information for you:

As you may know, Preliminary Gayeties is one of the chapters of the Brick, in which Grantaire, Joly, and Bossuet get a bit trashed while they wait for Lamarque’s funeral to reach the riot stage. The three of us have a fairly longstanding personal tradition of reading this chapter aloud and playing a drinking game whenever we’re together, and it is to this custom that we would like to invite all of you. Now, in order to fully participate, you may need some supplies! All versions of these supplies are equally valid, and certainly it can be played with simple water and any snackie of your choice. However, we find it is MOST amusing when you have a specific bev or snack to stand in for each one specified. To that end, we provide a guide below so that as many people as possible may be prepared to participate fully in our game!

First of all, we need some bevs:

The primary drink is (usually red) wine. For substitutions, we suggest: any wine you personally prefer, a wine cooler, grape juice, grape flavored gatorade/sports drink, any kind of purple drink mix, some water with red/purple food coloring in it, Just Straight Up Water, whatever speaks to you!

In much smaller quantities, the activity also calls for beer (specifically stout), brandy, and absinthe. 

For beer, we suggest: any beer of your choice, a nonalcoholic beer, some lemonade, Just Some Bread, ginger beer, ginger ale, any kind of cola, etc.

For brandy, we suggest: brandy, whiskey, any dark liquor, Just A Shot of Maple Syrup, tea, a shot of coke or pepsi, etc.

For absinthe, we will do The Ritual, in which you put a small amount of absinthe in a cup, put a sugar cube in a strainer above it, and slowly pour water over the cube until it has dissolved. For substitutions, we suggest: any violently green energy drink, mountain dew, sugar water with green food coloring, Just Eat Some Licorice, ouzo, a straight shot of lime juice, or anything else unhinged that your little heart desires!

For snacks, we suggest you have some bread, along with…

Oysters. For substitutions, consider: smoked salmon/lox, any shellfish or seafood of your choice, some nice oyster mushrooms, oyster crackers, gummies shaped like shells idk do they sell those, frankly Swedish Fish, etc.

Brie. For substitutions, consider: any kind of cheese or faux-cheese, any kind of Bread Spread you prefer, butter, flavored butter, jam, marmalade, etc

Ham. For substitutions, consider: bacon, turkey bacon, turkey, any kind of cold cut you prefer, thinly sliced vegetables, veggie burger, etc

after Too Long I have finally  started watching Black Sails (thank you perihelionicarus), spoiler--free Opinions: 

-It’s amazingly non-flashy/spinny for the sort of show it is? or at least balances light/dark contrast well and consistently?  I still only watched two episodes to start, bc I am Careful with my seizey brain, but after those two eps I felt Fine?   Which is a huge relief, since being a seizure trigger is the one thing that, obviously, will  stop me from being able to watch a show

- I don’t have a favorite character yet , a bit to my surprise, but so far Silver is the funniest and by far the most memetic 

- love the costumes and the humor in general 

- I don’t know how they’re gonna keep raising the stakes over several seasons at the pace they’ve established so far but it is hilarious  and I love it 

-never seen a show with so many people who are both Incredibly Clever and rampagingly  dense at once, they’re all exactly the sort of people I would expect to end up in piracy, it’s great 

- my one complaint is that this show seems to suffer from the foolish idea that naked people are more exciting to look at than people in pirate outfits and this is just tragically  wrong, a horrible flaw in an otherwise nigh-perfect Programme alas 

- honestly kind of surprised that my brain hasn’t already gone into the Spin cyle on this because it is kind of perfect?? maybe there’s just not enough found family vibes yet?? IDK but we’ll see 

-really glad there’s a lot of this to watch because even so, eeeeee :D
