#steam and oil

A whale oil ship’s gimbal lantern, 18th -19th century

Designed with an ingenious gyroscopic mechanism, the little reservoir and wick in the centre would remain upright at all times, even when the whole thing was swinging violently in rough seas. The outer cage was designed to keep the naked flame away from the rigging or sails or anything else that might catch fire.

Rusty after having a really bad day: Sometimes I wish I were more like Electra >:(

Rusty's dream that night:

[buffetlicious]

Mum came home from her marketing trip in Chong Pang with this takeaway box of Brunch. Inside, a steamed fish fillet with a drizzling of shallot oil, garnished with spring onions and chilli occupied half the box. Stewed eggplant or brinjal and stir-fried pork slices in gingers and onions took up the other half with a bed of white rice below.

I wanna write an au where all the stex characters work at either a coffee shop or the taco bell next door (rosters tbd) bc they’re all broke college students

They do stuff like organizing trades (burritos for lattes etc) and get stoned out back together on their breaks

So far I think it would go like this as for rosters:

Coffee Shop Crew:

Dinah

Pearl

Tassita

Belle

Electra

Momma (shes the manager and Real Adult™️)

Taco Bell Crew

Greaseball

Rusty

The Freights

They don’t get a real adult :( Greaseball is the night shift lead but she only shows up to stare at the pretty girl that works the coffee shop drive thru LMAO

Twirling my hair

Been a hot second, here's a little something from the stex cartoon idea again teehee, been working on these for almost a month

The goal was to explore what everyone's formal wear looks like (there's a little lore post abt it in the server), but I thought it would be really funny to pose them like prom photos

My Takeaway Dinner consisted of a large piece of steam fish fillet drizzled with shallot & ginger oil to give it fragrant. Underneath the fish are steamed egg with minced pork and sweet & sour battered fish strips. All these dishes are paired with our Asian staple of steamed white rice.

pretending to be a cursed specter doomed to not be able to smell things of the mortal world, to cope with the fact that my sense of smell has completely vanished. My little roleplay will get me through…the evening.
