Probably could have boiled the sap just a little longer before letting it cool, but this is how I make my own incense resin from foraged clumps of conifer sap🌲

CAUTION: If you plan to do this yourself, please keep in mind that conifer (pine, spruce, etc) sap is highly flammable. Even once processed and used as incense things can get out of hand.

Is it normal to wash your hands with isopropyl alcohol when dish soap just aint cutting it?

Gotham releases collectible photocards of their celebrities and the kids in Crime Alley are scrambling to find Timothy Drake ones because he's the only person that the Red Hood will exchange many many sweets and snacks for.

Oracle sees Hood crouched over the street with some young kids, zooms in to see Hood having a crisis because he only has enough chocolate to swap for ONE Timothy Drake card because its the super rare holographic with signature and a winking Tim.

Stan saying "I'd fire all of you if I could" in the first ep of GF as if he's not the literal boss of the Mystery Shack never fails to get me every time I hear it, lmao

Anomalocaris Bill wasn't the only Jurassic Sap Hole thing I drew today! I also sketched out a Ford and Dipping Sauce pic, an angsty sketch of the twins after being abandoned for having strange colours and Dipper being born sickly, and a sketch of the Mystery Shack in this AU, complete with a family cave painting

Sap wine Shenanigans - Part 1

Porphy talks about liking to put away a batch of The Good Stuff to age on the day of a notable occasion, but they don't discriminate between good ones and bad ones - the Hatchling's launch gets a batch, but Porphy also mentions many bottles for house fires and structural collapses. I wonder if the day Gossan lost their eye got a batch. (Though, that might have been before Porphy's time as a winemaker.) I wonder if Feldspar's disappearance got a batch. I bet if it did, and if Feldspar did both get and take the chance to come back, they'd drink it all at the welcome home celebration because it's Feldspar and that's just too good of a power move to pass up. I wonder what the wine aged in the lingering grief of the worst thing that ever happened to you, mellowed over years under the hand of a watchful craftsperson, tastes like. I bet it tastes pretty damn good. (well. For sap wine, at least.)

I'm daydreaming about Ford and my OC again, this time about the 30 years they would have spent apart from Ford's perspective and how absolutely crushing it must have felt to be ripped away from one of the few people he could still trust...

The picture Ford kept of his partner in his wallet remains one of his most precious possessions; it is battered and creased from decades of loving wear and tear but still cherished nonetheless. Rough sketches being drawn in scarce moments of downtime on any scrap of paper he manages to get his hands on, terrified of forgetting the little details about them he loves so much: the curve of their smile, how their hair framed their face, the sparkle of their eyes, etc.  

No matter how unconvinced he is that he'd ever make it back to his home dimension, Ford still finds himself swiping little trinkets he thinks they'd like, collecting datapads worth of photos and research they might find interesting, and addressing entry after entry in his travel journals to them with the unspoken hope they might someday read them.  

Thinking about Ford contemplating the potential of parallel versions of his lover as he hops from dimension to dimension, finally running into one after finding himself in "The Better World," having been brought in to watch over him as Parallel Fiddleford helps with the quantum destabilizer. Their parallel treats Ford with a type of kindness he feels he doesn't deserve, allowing him to ask any questions he may have and regaling him with tales of the happy life they and their Ford share.

Just... Ford might be haunting his lover's narrative back on Earth, but imagine how they might haunt his?

Summary:

“When I lose myself, I’ll remember that room of yours. I’ll remember that the place I belong is in the dark of your eyes. I’ll curl up in the curve of your smile, if you’d let me.

Please let me.”
