Rift Universe Fruits
1. Chabba Fruit- Sun shaped sour fruit used for lemonade equivalents. The swirl on the front tastes like cinnamon and is used as a baking ingredient.
2. Disapear Fruit- A fruit that tastes like a cross between an apple and a pear. It disappears when it feels threatened.
3. Gem Fruit- A fruit with delicious flesh that can be eaten without peeling. Seeds are poisonous.
4. Pie-Pie Fruit- Poisonous and bitter tasting medicinal fruit. Once refined it can be used to ease indigestion.
5. Frostdrop Fruit- Fruit that can only be eaten when frozen, lest it melt and become a horrid gooey texture.
6. Grabba Fruit- Used in stews, a hearty ingredient. Hallow center, thick but sharp outer spines.
7. Cabso Fruit- A fishy smelling fruit with a sweet cherry flavored center. The flesh around the center is inedible.
8. Tabua Fruit- Fruit that tastes awful in its base state. The unpleasant inside is dried and refined into a dust which is used as a spice.
9. Soogar Fruit- Fruit just filled with a sweet syrup. Is refined into sugar.
10. Myo Fruit- A fruit that has the consistency and taste of raw mammal meat. Must be cooked to achieve peak flavor.
11. Angel Fruit- A juicy and minty fruit that grows where it snows. Can be eaten raw or put in a salad.
12. Foya Fruit- A fruit as juicy as an orange and as spicy as a chili pepper. Great ingredient in hotsauce.
13. Olda Dona Fruit- A Dona fruit that's far too ripe, do not eat this.
14. Bagbang Fruit- Non edible fruit. Seeds are crushed and used as gunpowder.
15. Purpur Fruit- Fruit filled with fresh, sweet water. Essential on planets with no source of fresh water.
16. Sako Fruit- Fruit shaped like a fish that actually tastes like Gushers.
17. Cinnakinna- Only perfect for eating when it begins to drip frosting-like syrup. Any other time it's mediocre.
18. Hottaddi Fruit- Fruit that, when boiled, can be opened and poured out to reveal a hot, sweet drink.
19. Nuba Dona Fruit- A perfect Dona fruit, tastes like a frosted donut.
20. Shybell Fruit- Translucent fruit with a milky juice within. Easy to digest and a common ingredient in teas.
Rift Universe Meats
1. Dragon Roast, tough, pressure cook it.
2. Trotters, Meatsaur. Meatsaur's are alien dinosaurs genetically altered to be ideal food.
3. Liver, Meatsaur liver
4. Bunbun Kidneys, a toxin/poison neutralizing organ. Soaked 72hrs before cooking renders it edible. But why would you eat in the first place, that's gross, they're people.
5. Angel wings, small, sold in pairs.
6. The leg and foot of an unnamed mining species. Not recognized as a planet with intelligent life, they're free game.
7. Angel leg, fine meats in the Inferno. Technically illegal but lol you gonna say no to a demon?
8. Demon leg, fine meats in the Inferno. Yeah them demons be fucky.
9. Entire Side, is fuckin big, animal has pretty patterns on their meat cause they skin is see through. They live on the cold,
dark portion of Planet Rift.
10. Drumstick, Demon again, but this is pretty big and is usually fried specifically.
11. American-Style Roast, made of the native species of planet Rift, Moomkeys. No one is safe.
12. Kallopian leg. They lil predatory horses, but intelligent. Everyone is food.
13. Tomahawk Steak, a fuckin frog thing, nothing special about them other than they hail from Kallop like the Kallopians.
14. Kabab chunks, angel.
15. Bunbun loin, falls apart when overcooked.
16. Ghost Filet, super hard to get so expensive. Like not even sold to financially underwhelming people. Tastes like fish.
17. T-Bone, unnamed slum animal. Common meat eaten by the people at the Base of Rift City's buildings. Tastes like 'gator.
18. Trotters, human hands. We are all meat.
19. Angel Wing, large, sold individually.
20. Meatsaur Tongue, eaten by higher class Rift residents.
21. Meatsaur strips, for your fussy lil baby who demands tendies.
22. Demon Bacon, tastes like sin.
23. Macro Ham, made from different cuts of Macros, giant insects, all glued together. Presented as cold cuts.
24. I may have mis-numbered the picture.
25. Bunbun Arms, chewy.
26. Dragon Neck, enjoyed by older Rift generations. Not very good really but it's TRADITION.
27. Ribs, unnamed giant bird found on rift. Kinda cruel to eat this considering the birds are peaceful.
28. Sard Tail, like eating a fucking fetus you monster. Sards reproduce by budding, dropping their tail end so it can reform into a new Sard. You're awful for eating this.
Rift Universe Plants
1. Sky Bush, a bush that floats through the air. Good luck to spot one.
2. Mercy Belles, flower named after an act performed in Rift's history. A pair of frighten sisters offered these flower to a Rift colonizer as they begged for their life. They were not spared. Bad luck to give one to someone you like.
3. Coro Tree, secretes a sap that eats away at the tree itself.
4. Peaktre Tree, small tree often trimmed into shapes. Sprouts flowers on the leafy portion a translucent reflective dangly flowers below.
5. Hoverleaf bush, remarkable due to the fact that the leaves float, but is otherwise poisonous.
6. Devil's Tail stalk, secretes a tasty yet often throat-closing sap.
7. Brealla, tall stalks of harmless plant that can be used a defense against Rift's acid rain.
8. Marsh Mall, mushroom that tastes like chocolate and gets you high as fuck. Dangerous in high doses.
P. Fliver, mobil plant native to Kallop.
10. Relp Cabbage, loved by herbivores of Rift.
11. Triproot, root-system that relies on its preytripping and falling into it's tendrils.
12. Speaksies, aka Screamers. Replays what it hears to excess when a living thing nears it. Fields of these flowers are
completely devoid of any life with a heartbeat.
13. Scarebros, also found in fields but uses a humanoid figure to deter other humanoids from nearing it's flower. Grows
better in well cared-for farms, humanoid figure can be harvested as farm-animal feed.
14. Orbit Berries, tastey! Picks up small objects and flings them at enemies.
15. Space Rose, the first flower found by human astronauts. Not really a flower, it's a demon below the planet they were on.
16. Garlands, leaves that grow from a mold found only on ceilings.

task force 141 + favorite starbucks holiday drinks
Characters: Simon "Ghost" Riley, John "Soap" MacTavish, Kyle "Gaz" Garrick, John Price, Alejandro Vargas, Rodolfo "Rudy" Parra
Warnings: none
A/N: bc the 'alpha males only drink black coffee' mentality is stupid. give these men a creme brulee latte. also can u tell im running out of ideas (help)
simon "ghost" riley:
yeah yeah ik i said this was gonna be starbucks holiday drinks but guys you really think simon's the kinda guy to order a sugar cookie pumpkin spice creme brulee apple strudel frappucino?
yeah that's what i thought
the others will all follow the theme tho i swear
but for now let's talk about simon
he doesn't drink starbucks very much but when he does he usually has two go to drinks
a steamed apple juice or a london fog tea latte
he'll get the latte hot or cold depending on the weather ofc
his favorite thing to do is cozy up with a nice book and a warm drink from starbucks especially during the winter months
and bc he's an environmentally conscious king (and because he has a reputation to maintain let's be real) he always brings his own black tumbler for the drink
also i don't know why but i like to think that he has a bunch of starbucks gift cards from random holidays over the years
so he hasn't spent his own money on starbucks in months
he also never orders in person
and he puts down another name for his order too
sometimes ghost will order a hot chocolate though
but they have a tendency to be really sweet so they're not his favorite
john "soap" mactavish:
alright so i feel like soap's go to holiday drinks is the irish cream cold brew
also before i explain why why is no one talking about the shadows constantly calling soap a leprechaun and an irish person?
like it happens multiple times during the alone mission and it's so funny
anyways
what can i say soaps a cold foam kind of guy
he's just like me frfr
honestly he really doesn't have much of a sweet tooth (at least when it comes to coffee) and he feels like the slight sweetness of the cold foam mixed with the bitter cold brew makes the perfect coffee sweetness
also soap's the kind of person to get iced drinks no matter the weather
like it could be snowing and hailing and he'd still get his iced coffee
he also asks for extra cold foam
bc he likes those first few sips where all you get is the foam before the coffee starts mixing in
also off topic but soap also went feral during the free red cup day
like you know he dropped everything to grab one before they ran out
he's done it everytime they do it and he's so scared that he's gonna miss his streak because of work some day
kyle "gaz" garrick:
alright so maybe it's sorta simple but in gaz's opinion you can never go wrong with an iced peppermint mocha
i mean the name itself just screams holidays
and the flavor speaks for itself
gaz is just a fan of chocolate in general though
and he actually doesn't really like coffee, so the sweetness of the chocolate is nice because it combats the bitterness of the coffee
he also really likes peppermint so it works out too
like you know those peppermint chocolates you get from olive garden?
he eats those up oml
he also only puts in one shot of espresso
because a lot of caffeine makes him anxious
also he doesn't like staying awake at night most of the time
plus he always gets less whipped cream
it's surprising but he's honestly not that much of a fan
that being said though, you can't have a mocha without whipped cream
so he'll oblige a little bit
john price:
alrighty so price's favorite drink is a caramel brulee frappucino
and i am very confident in saying that
i don't really know why but i just feel like he would enjoy it
i like to think that the first time he had it was when someone else went on a coffee run and he told them to just get him whatever
so they got him this and now he's obsessed
he's always been a fan of caramel so it only makes sense
like he goes ham on the caramel
people have told him to just get a caramel frappucino instead but he never does
so instead he gets the caramel brulee frappe with caramel sauce, syrup, drizze
the whole nine yards
i mean price has a sweet tooth what can i say
he needs something to balance out the flavor of all those cigars he smokes
and yes gaz and the others always makes fun of price whenever he gets his drink
but price doesn't even care he is living his best life
he also definitely gets a reindeer cake pop too whenever he goes
the chestnut praline latte is definitely a close second for price tho
but he likes the texture of a frappucino over a latte
alejandro vargas:
okay so honestly ik it's kinda basic but alejandro is a hot chocolate kinda guy
i mean it's like the most iconic holiday drink there is
besides like eggnog or smthing but tbh i always forget eggnog is a thing
anyways hot chocolate is always like the thing to get alejandro in the holiday spirit
it brings him back to making ibarra hot chocolate with his family as a kid
ofc starbucks hot chocolate is not as good as ibarra
but hot chocolate is hot chocolate and it gets the job done in a pinch
one time he tried adding cinnamon to the starbucks hot chocolate to make it more like ibarra
man to this day he doesn't know what he did wrong but he knows something was wrong bc it did not taste like ibarra at all
it tasted worse than it started too
that was truly disappointing
he also likes getting a sandwich or croissant from the bakery too as a light snack
rodolfo "rudy" parra:
alright so this one is easy
and honestly like the first one i thought of
but rudy lives for the sugar cookie almond milk latte
i also like to think that rudy tends to run pretty cold (especially during the winter) and so he gets the hot version and holds it in his hands with his sleeve pulled to his fingertips and let's the steam warm him up
while he does like a little dance to try and keep himself warm
i mean what can i say rudy is like the epitome of having a sweet tooth
plus he really likes sugar cookies so it works out
like he loves those soft sugar cookies you get at walmart (the lofthouse cookies)
also rudy is lactose intolerant
ur welcome all my lactose intolerant readers out there he's ur representation
idk man i just feel like that makes sense to me
and bc like the rest of you lactose intolerant lunatics he's incapable of actually avoiding dairy (seriously you guys have a problem) he has a bunch of lactaids in one of the pockets of his vest

Whumpcember Day 7 - Fainting (Alt 7. Hunger)
CW: Starvation
"Are you sure you don't want any, Mark?" George asked.
"I'm sure. You guys need it more than me." Mark pushed the plate of food towards them.
"But you've barely eaten anything for the past week. You're losing weight." Fred said.
"I know, but I need to show them that what they're doing is wrong!"
"Mark, they're just gonna blame us. You know how this town is with us."
"I know!!" He sighed. "I know and it's disgusting and wrong! You guys shouldn't have to suffer because of what happened to Cesar..." He shivered. "Here. I made sure it doesn't have any allergens in them."
"Mark... You don't have to do this." Cathy muttered.
"Cathy, you're my family. I can't let you guys get hurt."
After a bit of deliberation, the triplets slowly began to eat. Satisfied, he left their room, gripping his stomach tightly. Everyone's treatment of the Flammias have gotten so much worse since Cesar almost died. He was almost killed by one of the spies, held captive in the hospital, comatose against his will and almost died again. Despite that, Santiago blamed it on the triplets, saying that he almost died because he wanted to protect them.
That didn't make any sense to him. Isn't it a hero's duty to protect the people you care about? If it were him that Cesar almost died to protect, wouldn't Santiago be praising him? He would be hailed as the hero they want him to be.
His vision began to grow dim and he fell to his knees. Deep breaths, Mark. Don't faint. Don't faint. Just get some fluids in you. You'll be fine.
It'll be worth it. You need to teach them a lesson...
-----
Everyone was gathered at the table, talking about what they're gonna do today. N kept badgering Stanley about him having Uno while Damien tried to steer the conversation back to the topic at hand. Mark couldn't focus. He wanted to, but he was so fucking hungry...
"Mark? You alright?" Cesar asked.
"Yeah. I-I'm alright..."
"You sure? You look a little pale."
"I'm sure. I'll get something later."
"Dude, you've been saying for the past few days. You look like you're about to drop dead at any moment. You really need to eat something."
"Cesar, I already told you, I need to-"
"Mark? Do you have anything to add?" David suddenly asked.
"Oh, uh... I think we... We need better security systems since people get through them too easily... I think something is up with the security team..." He stood up on shaky legs. "We need to investigate what's..." His vision grew spotty.
"Mark? Hey.." Cesar shook him by the shoulder.
"We...." Mark dropped like a stone. Cesar caught him and set him down as the room erupted into chaos.
"What the- What happened?!"
"Mark?!"
"Is he alright?!"
They all crowded around him as Cesar set Mark's head in his lap. Quick pulse check. Slow heartbeat. "Dave, go get Esther!"
The triplets were in the other room, watching the whole thing go down. They were starting to shake now. They're gonna blame it on them. Everything was their fault.
Mark blinked his eyes open as everything started to come back to him.
"Mark? Can you hear me?" Cesar patted his face.
"Ugh... What happened...?"
"You fainted. Don't worry. Esther's coming to get you."
"Wh... But the triplets..."
"Don't worry. We won't let anything happen to them."
------
Mark slowly opened his eyes to a blinding light shining above him. After blinking a bit, he noticed that he was in the infirmary. An IV was inserted into his arm.
"Oh good, you're awake." Esther looked up from her paperwork on the desk. "The IV's there to give you extra nutrients. You didn't look very good."
"Esther? Wh..."
"You fainted during the meeting. Cesar told me what happened." She held him down with her stare. "Mark, when was the last time you ate something?"
"Ummm...."
"What about fluids? Have you had any water?"
"I've been having some apple juice...."
"Okay, but have you gotten some actual food in you?"
He was silent.
"Mark, starving yourself shouldn't be taken lightly. It's unhealthy to deprive your body of important nutrients. Your body could be breaking down other cells to make up for the nutrients you're depriving them of."
"I-I wanted them to see that what they're doing is wrong..."
"Them?"
"Yeah. The reason why I haven't been eating is because Santiago has been limiting their food intake. I did it to get him to see that it was wrong. He somehow got the other parents to believe that it was because of Cesar. They were pretty badly beforehand, but this... This is too much."
"My goodness... Just how much food were they taking away from them?"
Mark was silent for a bit. "...They were getting by on granola bars."
Esther blinked in disbelief. "Just granola bars? But aren't they allergic to peanuts? I know some of them have peanut butter for a flavor."
"They avoided the peanut butter ones."
"You mean to tell me they were only being fed granola bars and nothing else?!"
"Well, that and food scraps, but that's barely enough."
"Of course it's barely enough. They need a lot more than that to get enough of the nutrients needed!"
"That's what I mean! They're starving them and I wanted to snap them out of it!"
Esther looked down at her clipboard. "It seems like there are a few adults there who don't believe the delusion of the week going on here."
"Yeah. They're the only ones who care about them."
"I see."
Mark nodded, then gripped his stomach in pain. It felt like his body was eating itself alive. Why did he think this was a good idea?
"You should really eat something."
"Please. I can't take it anymore."

I’m Yemenite and my husband and his family are Bukharian Jews that hail from Uzbekistan. After we got married, my mother-in-law gave me full tutorials on several traditional Bukharian dishes that are special to her and the family, including this osavo, a slow-cooked brisket and rice dish that reminds me of a rich tomato-based risotto studded with meat.
As I was learning the dishes I would always ask for measurements, and she would say, “Oh, it’s all by eye.” So I would pull out my kitchen scale to portion the ingredients as best I could in order to recreate the dishes in my own home. I love making so many of her recipes, but the dish I come back to over and over for cooler weather is this osavo. Like an Eastern European cholent, the dish cooks all night in a crockpot so you wake up in the morning to a house filled with a delectable savory aroma.
One element of this recipe that might surprise is the addition of grated Granny Smith apple and fresh lemon juice. These flavors are so crucial to the complexity of this dish, and they add sweetness and acidity that balance out the richness of the brisket.
The original recipe from my mother-in-law calls for bone marrow bones and flanken, but I prefer brisket so that there is more meat and no bones to remove. I’ve made it dozens of times both ways, and there’s no major difference in flavor.
Note:I prefer to use a crockpot liner for easy clean-up with this dish. They are plastic, and disposable, and a huge time saver during clean up.

This isn't a specific number of friendship ask (though kind of related to "would you be friends with them"): if you could pick a "Fellowship" of nine non-Fellowship members from LotR to hang out with for a day, who would you choose? :D ~meg
GAAAASP oh man I completely misread this the first time, you said NON-Fellowship members!! Heckin’! Okay this is gonna be FUN 🤩
First pick goes to Beregond and Bergil, obviously. Gotta have my husband and my son. Then Bilbo, for the Stories and the Sass.
I feel like it would be fun to hang out with Treebeard—all hail King Tree!—but I almost wonder if his slowness would dominate all conversation and leave no room for the others to be themselves, so I’ll go with Quickbeam. He’s got fun stories, and he’s “hasty” enough to not bore all the non-Ents.
Do non-speaking creatures count?? (I ask, as if you have any way of answering this before I publish the post.) I’m gonna assume the answer is “yes” and add Bill the Pony and Shadowfax. Because who wouldn’t want to spend time with Best Pony and King Horse??
That’s six…I need three more.
From the Elves: Glorfindel! Because Glorfindel! He is noble and light-hearted and joyful even in the greatest peril and doubtlessly has amazing stories. (And Asfaloth would probably come with him! I’m sure he’d get along splendidly with Shadowfax.)
From the Dwarves: Gimli is off-limits, so Gloin! Grandpa Dwarf who can tell us all about the exciting things happening in Dale. And he can offer corrections when Bilbo grossly exaggerates his stories, as he is prone to do.
And finally…(oof this is a really difficult decision uhhh….)
HAHAHA okay I was gonna say Theoden—because Dad VibesTM—but now I think it’s even more hilarious to say Butterburr, because all of the sudden I’m imagining this menagerie of various peoples of Middle Earth—including two or three equines, a tree, and one modern girl in blue jeans—rocking up one day to the Prancing Pony and asking for dinner.
I’m seeing drinks for all the grown-ups, and fresh-pressed juice for Bergil and me—because he is a Child and I have alcohol poisoning issues LOL—and the finest apples and straw for Bill and Shadowfax, and a long draught of rainwater for Quickbeam, and then a good long night of tales and songs and laughter, until the moon is high and Beregond carries a fully dead-to-the-world Bergil to bed, and Quickbeam steps away to have a sleep standing in the nearby field, and the rest of us slowly trickle away to our own rooms.
That would be just. ✨Magical.✨ I’d probably pass out on the spot. (And not from the alcohol because I didn’t have any 🤣🤣) Thank you for this ask, Meg!! It is absolutely splendid and I love how your mind works!
(And now I’m asking all of YOU GUYS: Who would be in your Fellowship for the day??)
#asked and answered#meg tag#beregond#bergil#quickbeam#bill the pony#shadowfax#glorfindel#gloin#butterbur#lord of the rings#lotr#my writing#stop giving me more ideas for things to DRAW—#(jk never stop 💚)#fellowship game

A Pilot's Golden Rule: Protect Saber
Whumptober 2022 (@whumptober)
No. 12 WHAT COULD GO WRONG
“Mayday, mayday!” | Cave In | Rusty Nail
No. 14 DIE A HERO OR LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO BECOME A VILLAIN
Desperate Measures | Failed Escape | “I’ll be right behind you.”
Next: A Saber Without Her Pilot
Taglist: @actress4him, @whumper-in-training, @ocean-blue-whump, @for-the-love-of-angst, @thethistlegirl, @gottawhump, @whumperofworlds, @poc-whump, @hopepetal , and @winedark-whump
This is definitely set later in their story, so please don't get mad at me <3
CW: Set in the BBU (There is really no mentions of it, but the story is set in that universe), plane troubles, angst, emotional whump
What started off as a beautiful and sunny day has now turned into a pilot’s worst nightmare: a terrible storm at night with slight hail. But Lukas isn’t concerned at least one bit. He’s smiling over at Saber, who has her arms crossed over her chest while staring out of the plane with an uneasiness that Lukas can sense. “Saaaaaaaber, don’t worry a single bit. This plane is an engineering marvel and is going to get us to where we need to go. Come on, look at me. Who’s the best pilot in the world?” He asks in a sing song voice, nudging her playfully.
Saber rolls her eyes and stifles back a laugh, her beautiful eyes a nice contrast to the hellish weather outside the safety of the plane. “Hands down it’s Timmy the Pilot Pillow, Lukas. He’s always there to get us out of your messes.”
“My messes??? Saber, I feel so attacked right now,” he scoffs, a hand on his chest feigning offense. “How dare you think Timmy is better than me? I can get us through anything. I am a magic pilot.” He grabs the control wheel with both hands, attempting to get the plane through the latest turbulence moment. The sound of hail striking the plane’s wings and windows begin to worry Lukas, but he will do whatever it takes to not let Saber know it.
This isn’t good at all. I can barely see anything. My instruments are the only thing working for me right now. Doesn’t seem like anything is off, but this is a bust. Just a few more hours before we get to the safe house Bianca helped secure or us.
“A magic pilot and a crazy idiot… But I suppose if I didn’t meet you, I would still be a…” She trails off and a blush barely changes the pigment of her tanned cheeks. “You know what I mean.”
Lukas turns his head to focus on Saber more, trying to convey a softer look. “I know what you mean, but don’t think about it like that. You aren’t that. You are so much better, Sabes. I swear. I don’t know if I would be here without you, honestly.” He winks at her and aims a cliché finger gun at her. “Someone’s got to keep my ass from dying.”
“Tell me about it, Lukas. You are something else,” Saber finally laughs with such a melodic yet rougher voice. It’s probably one of the best sounds Lukas has heard. “Someone must keep you from drinking yourself to death too. Bianca called you an alcoholic.”
“Bianca calls me a lot of things. ‘Alcoholic’ is practically synonymous to ‘Gorgeous’, ‘Genius’, ‘Mad Lad’, and ‘Extraordinary’. What can I say, Sabes? I am one badass pilot.” He’s smirking like an idiot, but he can’t keep himself from laughing.
“She told me you would say something like that. Good thing I gave her those water bottles you said were filled with apple juice.”
“….”
“What?”
“Those were filled with Jack Daniels and some others had Captain Morgan in them…”
“Oh well, Lukas. I got you those sports drinks with… electricity in them?”
“I am 100% sure you mean electrolytes.”
Saber is blushing hard and pulls up the hood of the sweat jacket Lukas gave her. “Shut up…”
Lukas is laughing harder than ever, but then he catches something in the corner of his eye: a blinking light next to the oil gauge. It’s critically low and that drives a shot of fear through the pilot of which he can’t hide. “Oh no… Saber, go to the back and grab the two back packs.”
“What’s wrong?” She asks, trying to figure out what is going on when the plane makes an unharmonious sound, the engine gurgling and yearning for oil.
Lukas clenches his jaw, and he looks over to the side of the plane. With a flashlight he pulls out, he aims it out there and he can catch the faint look of the damage on the plane’s wings.
This isn’t good. Not one bit. Fuck… Fucking fuck… Okay, Lukas. This is going to be fine. Keep Saber safe. That’s all that matters right now. I shouldn’t have flown in this weather. Sebastian, if you are watching this, I hope you don’t hate me too much.
“Lukas??? Talk to me!” Saber jolts him back from his deep hyperfocus, his heart racing too fast. “I got the back packs. What now?”
“Put one of them on, Saber. Go on, don’t worry about a thing. I just need you to listen to me: If I open the door, I need you to jump out. You are going to pull this hard as soon as you are safe to do so,” he explains, holding the red strap that would release the parachute. “I am going to take us lower and try to make it easier.” He puts on his headset and flips to the emergency channel for pilots, taking a deep breath.
“Why does this sound like you aren’t coming with me?” Saber asks, her voice wavering with fear.
“Mayday, Mayday, this is Tomcat 444. Position unknown, airspeed approximately 132 knots, altitude 4023 feet and lowering, plane has run out of oil, engine is failing, and I am unable to land safely due to little to no visibility. All stations, send search and rescue. Will conduct an evac of at least one passenger.” Lukas can’t look at her. He’s staring out at the darkness, the plane’s controls getting harder to keep normalized. “I promise that I’ll be right behind you, Saber. Just put it on and let me make sure you are safe.”
She’s tearing up and she does what’s asked of her, slipping on the parachute and clipping it in the right spots. “You are scaring me. Don’t do what I think you are going to do.”
“And what would that be, Saber? That I make you get out safely and I crash my plane? Nah… You are my top priority right now. I am going to make sure you never go back to where I found you.”
“Why, Lukas? Why do you care so much???”
Lukas stands up and uses some straps to keep the plane going straight, checking over Saber’s parachute and tightening some loose ones over her thighs and chest. “Why?” He repeats, holding her shoulders and kissing her forehead with a gentle smile, the scenario occurring around them only a blur. “Because that’s what we do for the people that we love, Sabes. Now… I think it’s time I send you off, okay?” He leads her over to the side of the plane, unlatching the door and pushing it open, the roaring sounds of the weather in combination with the failing engines taking over. “Count to five seconds and pull the strap. When you land, let your body roll with gravity. I’ll find you.”
Saber hugs Lukas tightly and shakes her head. “I can’t just leave you…”
“I know, Sabes… I am not giving you that choice.” He grabs her by the front of her parachute, and he shoves her out of the plane, her scream of betrayal haunting him as he put on his own parachute. He runs to the front of the plane, putting the headset back on.
“All stations, all stations, all stations… This is Tomcat 444… Seems like I am in a fucked up little situation with crashing my plane and all. Just wanted to add something in for those non-emergency stations looking for me. You can try to find me, but if you dare touch my partner in righteous crime, you better believe I am gonna kick your ass. Maybe I’ll die and maybe I won’t. You’ll just have to find out later. Just don’t hit my pretty face. Tomcat 444 signing off for a while,” Lukas laughs into the headset, setting it to the side and pushing the nose lower. He pulls himself using the seats to the door, staring out into the darkness.
“Saber, don’t kill me…” He mutters, jumping out with a scream into the dark abyss, hoping that his parachute actually works.

Top 10 juices in world
In a world where beverage choices are as diverse as the cultures they hail from, the quest for the perfect thirst-quencher often leads to the exploration of various juices. From the refreshing zing of citrus fruits to the earthy depths of vegetable blends, the top 10 juices in the world offer a symphony of flavors that cater to a broad spectrum of palates.
At the pinnacle of this liquid indulgence is the classic and timeless orange juice. Revered for its bright and zesty notes, freshly squeezed orange juice embodies the essence of breakfast bliss. Packed with Vitamin C and a burst of natural sweetness, it's a perennial favorite that never fails to awaken the senses.
Venturing into the realm of exoticism, pomegranate juice emerges as a jewel among the top juices. With its deep ruby hue and a delightful balance of sweetness and tartness, this elixir not only tantalizes taste buds but also boasts antioxidant-rich properties, making it a health-conscious choice.
For those seeking a tropical escape in a glass, pineapple juice stands as a true contender. The sheer vibrancy of its flavor captures the essence of sun-soaked islands, making every sip a vacation for the taste buds. Its versatility shines through, whether enjoyed on its own, as a mixer, or in a refreshing cocktail.
As we navigate the realm of health-conscious choices, the rise of green juices has been remarkable. Kale and spinach blends, often enriched with the goodness of other vegetables, provide a nutrient-packed punch. These green elixirs not only promise detoxification but also introduce a savory complexity that defies traditional notions of sweetness.
Shifting gears from the garden to the orchard, apple juice secures its place in the top 10 with its crisp and familiar taste. An all-time favorite among both kids and adults, apple juice embodies simplicity and satisfaction. Whether enjoyed chilled on a hot day or mulled with spices in the colder months, it remains a comforting classic.
Delving into the realm of berries, blueberry juice emerges as a powerhouse of antioxidants. Its sweet-tart profile and vibrant color make it a visual and gustatory delight. Blueberry enthusiasts swear by its potential health benefits, and its inclusion in the top 10 is a testament to its growing popularity as a flavorful and nutritious option.
No juice list would be complete without the robust and velvety embrace of grape juice. Whether red or white, this classic elixir carries a rich heritage and a versatility that transcends generations. Its mellow sweetness and depth of flavor have solidified its place in the upper echelons of the juice hierarchy.
The rise of vegetable-centric juices brings us to the invigorating world of cucumber-infused water. While technically not a fruit juice, its refreshing nature and hydrating qualities earn it a spot among the top 10. The subtle cucumber essence adds a spa-like touch to hydration, making it a go-to choice for those seeking a gentler flavor experience.

On the bolder side of the spectrum, beetroot juice commands attention with its deep, earthy notes. Packed with nutrients and believed to enhance athletic performance, beetroot juice has transcended its humble roots to become a coveted component in the world of health and wellness.
In the pursuit of balance and variety, cranberry juice rounds out the top 10 with its distinct tartness. Often celebrated for its potential urinary tract benefits, cranberry juice offers a unique flavor profile that can be enjoyed on its own or as a refreshing mixer in cocktails.
In conclusion, the top 10 juices in the world present a tantalizing array of options that cater to diverse tastes and preferences. From the beloved classics to the avant-garde blends, each juice on this list tells a story of flavor, health, and the enduring appeal of nature's liquid treasures.

♥️ KINGDOM BROCHURE ♥️
hi! im Red, and ive decided i hail from the imaginary ruby-mining, no-man’s-land-refurbishing desert kingdom of Rebanor. Our territory spans all the way from the Great Rhebati to the Redensc Peninsula, where the raspberry pies are the best. As I’m sure you can tell, I’ve been in love with the color red for a long time, and made my own little world to escape to that’s built around it. If it’s red, it works! So grab some berry juice, a crown of roses and relax in our apple orchards or adventure by a volcano !! Enjoy your stay :3
INFO ABOUT RED:
I use he/it/red/hell/hound pronouns as well as some others which I’ll list somewhere…someday…lol. I’m bi, a minor, caninekin, vampirekin, and fictionkin. I’m not in many fandoms I don’t think? I kind of pour my heart and soul into Rebanor lore and that’s it ehehehhh…. Anyways. I don’t have a DNI but I block freely!

I did all of my cooking yesterday: smoked pork ribs with apples, broccoli salad, and deviled eggs. (The rolls were already baked and chilling in the freezer.)
My hoodie smells like smoke, but in the best way. 🤤
Ready to go into the smoker! Meanwhile:
Deviled eggs were my aunt's thing when I was younger and my relatives actually had get togethers. But now I can make them myself-- and they're actually really easy! This time, I added pickles, pickle juice instead of vinegar, a little bit of green onion, and some wild onion greens from the patch growing at the edge of the yard. Oh, and dill. I went heavy on the pickle juice and mustard, since I like those a lot more than mayo. I only used enough of that to bind the mixture and make it creamy.
But wait! The finishing touch:
I ate the broken whites with the leftover filling. I also had the idea to mix the paprika into the filling instead of trying to top broken eggs, and now I'm considering just doing that from now on. It was-- not divine, but rather hail Satan! NEMA! 🤣
Okay, okay, that's enough ghestie nonsense for this post. I had to. You understand, right? 😈
[I didn't feel like taking pics of the broccoli salad, since I've made and shown that before.]
Next up:
Wh-- wait a sec. How'd that get in here? That's a spoiler!
Ah, here it is. Finally! The ribs are done! I had turned them over partway through smoking, so some of them were fat side up. I turned them back over so it didn't look like they were all fat. >_>
After all that, I made my plate and enjoyed it geatly. And I'm gonna do the same today! Maybe tomorrow, too, and definitely Tuesday. Then whatever meat is left goes into the freezer for another time.

green tomato pie experiment
I don’t make pies very often, but every once in a while I run across a recipe or idea that’s so interesting I just have to try it.
So last year we moved off the farm and to an apartment with a balcony. We had a really nice garden at the farm; I’ve been gardening off and on since I was a little kid, but I’ve really learned a lot more about it in the last few years. I really miss my in-ground garden, so I decided to have a proper balcony garden this year. I spent the last year researching and learning everything there is to know about container gardening. I had six pepper plants--three different varieties that I grew from seed (which is a story in and of itself, how I accomplished that starting last winter, with the cats around); strawberries that I successfully transferred from the farm, spinach and lettuce, and one Roma tomato plant.
I spent the summer battling drought, blossom end rot, aphids, mites on the pepper plants, and blight. I never had so many problems like that at the farm, mostly just cabbage loopers and the odd hail storm. In the end I only got a few ripe tomatoes that were normal size. By the time the blossom end rot subsided and it started producing well, the season was just about over. I’m in zone 4b, so we have a pretty short growing season and the weather just didn’t cooperate very well this year. I didn’t want to have to cover the tomatoes every other night when there’s a frost threat, so I decided to just pick all of the green ones that were left on the plant.
So what do you do with all those green tomatoes? Most people either make fried green tomatoes, or green salsa, or you can just leave them sitting on your counter to eventually ripen. I need my counter space for working on cakes, so that wasn’t really an option. But then I found out you can make a mock apple pie with green tomatoes, so that’s what I decided to do with them. This is the base recipe that I used: https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/charlotte-s-green-tomato-pie/?epik=dj0yJnU9Wjd0V0drdWI1cGplN19oTFl5elp1UDZyR1lSNXkwYzEmcD0wJm49RGNMbkN2TldSWU9COHNOVzdqNXBOZyZ0PUFBQUFBR05ITV93
I only had one pie crust on hand, so I decided to make a Dutch crumble topping for it. I saw some other recipes called for a little apple cider vinegar, so I swapped that in for the lemon juice, and put a couple tablespoons of cornstarch instead of flour, since cornstarch has a more neutral flavor and a smoother texture. I probably could have used a little more though. I scooped out as much of the seeds and goo from the tomatoes as I could too. I had just enough tomatoes to make one pie.
So how did it turn out? I think it’s pretty good; it does taste like apple pie. The texture of the tomatoes is a bit firmer than apples though; my husband doesn’t really care for it. So I probably won’t bother making it again, but it was definitely worth trying. It’s pretty good with a scoop of ice cream too.

Garden Report 22.09.17
I bet you thought I forgot to make a Garden Report. Truthfully, I would have liked to ... its a bit painful sometimes when surrounded by major failures. Due to impending storms and Harvest Snatchers (tm) we brought in the quinces a bit early. They are close but so precious I don’t like to lose many. The Asian Pear had a good harvest. The European heritage pear was scared with hail pocks and the vermin were starting to take just a single bite here and there. They too are a bit under ripe but will ripen on their own. The apples were a source of pain. The plum tree had smothered the Foxwelp and the half of bushel because a handful. The Queen Cox, that had a descent crop, also showed just a smattering from the tip top branches. The tree was devoid and missing its fruit. No tell tale sign under the trees or lost in the bramble patch ... just nothing. Elderberries are snacks for the birds winging south. Every time I spy a bract becomes ripe from the house, when I return in the afternoon, it has been plucked clean. The autumn raspberry are putting out a handful every week but nothing more than a sweet treat in passing. The hops should be ready to pick about midweek. I’ve decided we are not much of beer drinkers for that much work. Some will be saved for tea. The roses are making another flush to usher in Autumn. I will gather some of the petals also for tea.
For the pantry, most produce is purchased. I have a goodly amount of pickled purple cabbage. There are some pickled beets, green beans, carrots and onion slices. I even have a few jars of pickled wild chantrelles. I do have some cauliflower heads as I like to do turmeric style pickles with those. If I could get some very young marrow/courgettes/zucs, I would do those in turmeric as well but everyone this time of year have the monster size squash that you cut with a ax ... maybe those would make good pickles?! Most things are going into the dehydrator (fruit, veg, mushrooms). I probably won’t do any juicing this year as it takes so much time processing since they have changed up the gas mix. It will be an interesting winter to say the least.
The hens are fussy. We’ve been trapping the rats like crazy. Some need to be dispatched which is what sets the hens off -- it makes for everyone starting with a bad day. They are also getting whiny with the chill in the air, shorter days and shortage of greens.
Once I get all my sign painting done it will be time for re-arranging the lean-to and winterizing that. I need to do something different instead of dead seedling mats screwed in strategical places for siding. I feel that this winter could be harsh and by Spring we will have breaches and deterioration to the point of emergency repair so the time is to do it before that happens. Off to find shipping pallets to ‘recycle’ as building supplies, if available are not within price range.
End of a Garden Report that I wish had something ... what’s the word? IDK ... A Glowing Report of Harvest! Maybe next year?!
