Splashed out for a slightly bougie couple of spices. Partly for cooking but mostly for experimenting with the tiny crockpot my mom found for me, to make scented oils for perfumery.
Fancy Cardamom really is one of those things where like $2 extra gets you something amazing.

For the doodle requests, I'd love to see your take on Daud in the Void after his death. I think about him often.... Thanks!!
“A man who ravaged and tore through the world around him like a rabid beast, creating nothing but chaos and misery. Even your merry band of assassins forgot its once master. You made your bed, Daud, now it’s time to lie in it”
I don’t think the Outsider would ever want to try and comfort Daud and I don’t think Daud would ever allow it to happen. But they’re both lonely in the void so… not-a-shoulder-pat and not-really-reassuring words anyone?

Tim Drake’s got a history with cloning. So does Vlad Masters.
Tim is past his “cloning-deceased-best-friends-in-the-basement” phase. Really, he is. But back when he wasn’t, he’d had all sorts of research compiled, on every type of cloning tech ever recorded.
One company, VladCo, had negotiated itself an amount of Cadmus’ exclusive resources to study the interactions between cloned tissue and recently-discovered ectoplasm. The quasi-sentient abilities of ectoplasm, in theory, might help fill a host body with a real soul.
The contract Tim had dug up is frankly insane. VladCo is in no way beholden to share the results of its study, nor does it need to return any of the equipment, and VladCo’s relationship with Cadmus is under a strictly worded gag order. Nobody in their right mind would’ve signed it. Cadmus did, and aside from a few million dollars, Vlad Masters got his machines gratis.
And now, a couple years after the contract was signed, fulfilled, and buried away, VladCo has done a grand total of nothing with it.
The guy’s rich. And a genius. There’s no way all that tech’s been left to collect dust in storage with how aggressively it was acquired. Masters was going to do something with it, and it was going to be revolutionary. (Tim had actually planned to steal into VladCo for notes, before the thing with the Brain, and Cassie finding out, and the intervention that followed… yeah. He’s over it.)
It’s suspicious as all get out. Eventually, though, the whole Masters deal took a back burner to a crisis (followed by a crisis… followed by a crisis).
But now with Kon and Bart back, and a few less things on his plate, Tim thinks the responsible thing to do is finally head a classic Team investigation to Master’s Manor, Wisconsin.

corollary
“Okay,” Mike echoes. “So, I was – thinking. We should sleep together."
Will, for some reason, still looks lost, but he looks cute – sweet, like that, pink cheeks and eyes wide and glossy and the slight furrow of his eyebrows like Mike has given him something outlandish.
“I,” he starts, “don’t understand.”
Mike proposes a sleepover.
Unsurprisingly, no sleeping is done.

Finally got to paint something a little more proper for my project. Paleolithic kids see a dragon come down from the sky 🐉
a few more doodles of my OCs Tam Kujo below >>
drew this one in the span of three days during class time :p. A few lines here and there while I wait for the prof to set up the slides and start the class. Kept going until I felt like not adding anymore.
two more

[Start ID. A digital drawing of Minos Prime from Ultrakill, who's wearing a strapless slit dress and sandals of the same deep purple. He faces towards and slightly to the right of the camera, his head is tilted further right. With one hand he gestures in a vague pointing motion, his arm folded and held close to his body. There is nothing in the background, but bracing himself on one arm, Minos is implied to be leaning against something about the height of a countertop. The background is a blank purplish black, save for three diagonal stripes in the colors of the bisexual flag. End ID]
Shading study that quite literally came to me in a dream two weeks ago, after this post apparently beamed itself into my mind
(also a few edits below the cut! they're very slight but whatever :])
[Start ID. Three different versions of the previous drawing. The first changes the tone of the lighting from blue to pink, and similarly the shading from pink to blue. The second replaces the faint black border with pink, purple and blue, syncing with the stripes in the background. The third combines both these changes. End ID]

Ah, the classic. Meta Knight and Dark Meta Knight have big sibling energy to me, and as an elder sibling myself, I would flip off my younger brother from my mirror prison too. Of the four redraws I just worked on, this one has changed the least compositionally because I think the original is perfect in that arena. Honestly as nice as it looks when given more than an hour and a half, it's kinda lost it's wonky charm. Well, the original still exists.
Original below:

i started reading natsume yuujinchou from the first chapter again, and... omg early natori is SCARY. his eyes just so... empty, dude... even worse than natsume
and some of his words just... not good at making him look appealing lol he's so forceful at times over what he think is better for natsume, and to see natsume be like "okay i thought you're a pretty nice guy but don't you dare tell me shit about what's right or wrong!" is just so... admirable. like hell yeah dude, fight that guy just because he's an adult doesn't mean he knows better 😤😤
like usually in other manga with this situation, the adults are actually pretty spot on, but i love how midorikawa yuki didn't do that, and let natori be wrong without him being a bad person, and she let natsume shows how mature his decision making is without the narrative siding 100% to his whims
also i wanna add that i find it interesting that natori is the subversion of the "handsome guy with flowers in the background whenever he appears" trope, like that's so peak shojo of him, but for midorikawa yuki to take that and turns it into "this whole thing is a facade for natori to hide who he truly is" is just... interesting. even better that she really kept at the whole "natori is always in conflict with natsume even though he think he's doing something in natsume's best interest" pretty long in the story, because it means she didn't let us forgive natori so easily, but rather let him earn our... love for who he truly is as a person rather than his facade of the "older, wiser man"

ok so im not sure that this is articulate for ppl who aren't calendarheads like me but the jewish and islamic calendars are both calendars in which a year is 12 lunar cycles, and the difference is that the jewish calendar has leap months whereas the islamic calendar does not. so every 2/3 years, the jewish calendar actually has 13 months, and so each time there's a leap month, the jewish and islamic months become out-of-sync by one month. the jewish leap months are timed so that the calendar is in accordance with the metonic cycle (the way that the lunar and solar cycles always align in the same way they did 19 years previously). which is to say, since the jewish calendar was standardized, there have been cycles of 19 years wherein there is a leap month during the 3rd, 6th, 8th, 11th, 14th, 17th, and 19th years (sidenote—you can find what year we are in the cycle by dividing the jewish year by 19 and taking the remainder. for example, this year is 5783, and 5783/19=304r7, so it's the 7th year in the cycle, and not a leap year). but last year was the 6th year in the cycle—it was a leap year. so, it shifted the jewish calendar wrt the islamic calendar, and it put the month nissan (the month in which passover is celebrated) in alignment with the month of ramadan. this year, ramadan and nissan will stay in alignment. and next year, the 8th year in the cycle, ramadan will be in alignment with the leap month itself, which is inserted before nissan. so, it'll take 12 more jewish leap years before nissan and ramadan co-occur (if you look closely, you'll notice that it takes 33 years for 12 jewish leap years to occur, and you might recognize 33 as the number of years it takes for the islamic calendar to fully cycle around the gregorian calendar. which, of course, is not a coincidence!). as you can see, most of the gaps between leap years are 3 years long, but at the current part of the cycle, it's 2 years long. ANYWAY all this is to say that if it were a 3-year gap rn we'd be able to reuse that he is risen/he is not/he is off-limits until sunset meme for 3 years instead of just 2. sad.

Love me nots are a poisonous type of flower found growing deep in the forests of Grimmwood. They’re named after the game in which one plucks the petals from a flower while repeating “they love me, they love me not” for every petal they pluck! Love me nots symbolize unrequited love.
