African American Culture- Red Drank

“Because the American mainland was not as hospitable to hibiscus, Miller says enslaved people in the Colonies adapted the drink again, replacing hibiscus with berries in the South and cherries in the Mid-Atlantic. According to Miller’s research, the earliest mention of red drink on the mainland dates to the 1870s South, where Black Americans colored lemonade red with strawberries, sumac or tartaric acid. “That was the drink for special occasions: going to the circus, emancipation celebrations,” Miller says. Powdered drinks like Kool-Aid, introduced in the 1920s, and red sodas like Big Red, invented in 1937, became popular substitutes for the homemade beverages.”

talked to a retired Detroit firefighter whose kids went to the same school as Steve Yzerman's and he reports the man to be "fucking so tiny! just a little, small man! they say he's, what, 5'10, but I'll be damned if he's an inch above 5'7, and he was STILL able to do all that!"

au in which the real reason why tim drake is still seventeen years old is because he was turned into a vampire and he’s really bad at hiding it.

surprisingly, his family who are the supposed ‘greatest detectives’ have not caught on yet even though tim has slipped up in front of them many times.

Tim- There's water in coffee

Dick- Yeah, and there's also a pre-dug hole in the cemetery that's about have your name over it

The Scum Villain's Self-Replicating System

Be More Chill AU of SVSSS

Instead of being a neutral entity whose purpose is to facilitate SQQ improving the narrative, the SYSTEM in this AU doesn't believe that Peerless Cucumber has the means to totally fix the shitty writing of this universe on his own.

The SYSTEM has made it its goal to make every character in PIDW-world accept a system of their own so that it can control their lives and make the world perfect.

It tries to set up SQQ as an example of what the system can do for a person--turning them from a sad, scared bully of a man into a beloved teacher who is powerful, ethereal, and catches the gaze of countless suitors.

In the characters' moments of weakness (which are often engineered by what the system tells SQQ to do) the SYSTEM will prompt SQQ to offer his special secret up to the other characters in the story as a solution to fix their sad lives. SQQ doesn't want to do it, but the system can terminate his life at any time, so he doesn't think he really has a choice.

The thing is...

In the process of turning SQQ into an ideal man that *anyone* would desire to be, and to be close to... the SYSTEM is not immune to its own propaganda. It starts falling for SQQ--the one other entity that shares its objective to fix the world. Of course, things would be better if they fixed the world together, wouldn't it? [:<

As the SYSTEM threatens to take over even the Protagonist, there's only one person who can stop it. A certain hack author who has until this tipping point tried to stay on the sidelines and out of trouble. Shang Qinghua realizes that unless he acts, his world is going to fall apart. He's gonna need a certain Northern King's help with this.

((I'd write this, but as you may know--backlog. If you write it I will kiss you on the lips))

Obsessed with playing a MC who thinks G is really inconsiderate toward Victoria, but is also so down bad for G they flirt with them literally any chance they can get. The duality of man.

i know it’s literally not supported by canon at all but the idea that epsilon making new worlds to find tex destroys the memory unit faster is really getting to me

destroying the world around the both of you in an almost hopeless attempt to promise that you won’t hurt them again, that you won’t curse them again, even though you think you won’t have a chance to do anything else

overworking and overheating the system you exist in just wanting to see her one last time, in any way possible, to swear to her that the cycle is over, that you’re letting her go, that she won’t ever have to fail again. that she has finally won
