“🎵From my heart and from my hand, why don’t people understand my intentions?🎵”

They are so in love it’s insane.

Barney likes stickers bc he’s silly and he puts them on his helmet and he asked Gordon to steal a caution sticker from some dangerous radioactive thing for him and Gordon reluctantly did because he’s a real one.

They’re also both gay and trans men and t4t and autistic‼️‼️‼️‼️

i think that it would be funny if in the new spiderverse instead of miles and hobie in a romantic rivalry for gwen it’d be a romantic rivalry between hobie and gwen because miles is very important. like thats the only reason why

“hey hobie… do u like gwen or something why do u act weird around her..”

“oh nawh i don’t like that girl, im gay. i want miles”

"I CAN WHAT?!" ●Muzan x reader● p2

You wake up in a room. Or atleast you think it's a room? It seems to have no end. Like one big room full of tiny other rooms.

You sat on a small island in the middle of where ever you were. You crawled to the edge of the platform island and look down. You see a void where the floor should have been. Only Buddha knows how high or low you where.

The air had a musty smell and each platform was decorated with dark oak beams and cream coloured walls. It looked spotless. Like someone had been here...taking care of all of it.

You start to panic as you look around frantically. What happened? Where is Y/B/N? where are you? What is this place? Who is that?

That?

In the corner of your eye you see a young woman. Straight black hair draped over her face like ink had been poured from it's container. In her hand she held a rather expensive looking biwa. She looked up silently before strumming it.

You didnt feel anything change. But it did. You were somewhere else now. Panic starting to rise again before you notice another woman. You run to her thinking it is the biwa lady only to see a totally different female in your presence.

She was average height (around 5'7) standing up straight with great posture. Her skin was perfect like carefully crafted porcelain. How could someone who seems so frail give off such a menacing aura?

You stopped running and skidded across the slippery floors for a comedic length of time. You stopped right in front of her. Close enough to smell her infatuation. Slowly you look up just to have her shove her face within your neck.

"You smell absolutely divine" she said.

He said?

He?

Your heart stopped as from the small womans body rose a deep and masculine voice. You couldn't move. You've heard this voice before but gods did you wish you hadn't.

"I am muzan" the woman said calmly. "I must say such a rare specimen such as yourself . I expected you to smell delicious but this is a whole new level. I can almost smell your fertility" she spoke again. Her voice becoming more and more sinister.

A long lick down your neck to your collarbone before grabbing your sash keeping your kimono in place.

"You smell good enough to eat..."

"But that wont do you no justice.."

He chuckles.

Dry your own Orange Wheels and Peels

For many people it's strange to think that Oranges are often seen in winter decorations and are traditionally eaten this time of year. I know my house always had tangerines around, and I still buy them to this day in December. People also got them in their stockings as a treat. I didn't know still did this until I had my first Christmas with my now partner and they made me a stocking with an orange and apple. Gotta say, that orange was good. Now, this is partly because citrus fruits are in season in the winter. But there's another aspect.

The winter Solstice, the longest night of the year, is in December. Also called yule. It marks the celebration of the returning of the Sun, and Oranges are packed with solar energy. An orange wheel, fresh or dried, is a perfect symbol of the Sun to decorate with. Many people will dry their oranges during this season to make storage and decorating easier.

A dehydrator makes things a lot easier, but not everyone has one. However, fret not, you can still dry your oranges in the oven. You just need to set your oven to as low as it will go. Start at 150F and see if it will accept. Most ovens the lowest it will go will be between 160F to 200F. Don't try higher than 200F, your Oranges will get too toasty.

Orange Peel

If you want to just preserve orange peel, first decide what you are going to be using it for. If you plan to use it in things like tea, spell jars, basically need big chunks, simply use a vegetable peeler to peel the zest from the pith. Then place the strips on some parchment lined baking sheets, and place in the oven for around 30 minutes until they start to curl.

However, if you are wanting to use the peel in ways where us would need to be smaller; like curry powders, cookie doughs, and other general cooking, I strongly recommend grating your zest before drying. You can grind or cut up the larger chunks after they have dried, but orange zest (and all citrus to be honest) becomes rather leather like once dry. So grinding with a simple mortar and pestle is near impossible. You will need a coffee grinder or some other blender.

Orange Wheel

Lay your orange on it's side, so it's bump bits are on the left and right. This way, when you slice into the orange, you get your desired wheel look.

Now Start slicing. You want them to be fairly thin. I'm talking like no thicker than half a centimeter or quarter of a inch. If you have a mandolin, that'll make things easier. But if you're like me and don't have one nor can you consistently cut straight to save your life, fear not this will still work. These wheels just need to be thin.

One you have your wheels, arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment. You can dab off excess juice with a paper towel if you happen to have a leaky fruit. Place them in the oven and check on them after 3 hours. They may be done, or they may need more time. Be prepared to wait 6 or 7 hours drying orange wheels. Maybe have a home day planned.

If your wheels are getting brown but not dry, remove them from the oven and give them a moment to cool. Turn the tray around before placing back in the oven.

You can store these in a clean glass jar, and if done right can last a few years. This process will work with other types of Citrus too. Lemons, Limes, Grapefruits. You can make lovely decorations or dress up a gift in an eco friendly way.
