fingers crossed i picked the right thing to fix so the prickly pear mead isn’t as acidic as the black raspberry mead i made over the summer (too many tannins)
tho i just tasted the black raspberry mead and it’s way less acidic now than i remember it being when i bottled it 2 months ago so hopefully even that will wind up v tasty in a few more months? and i tasted the shorter bottle that has a lot more particulate so i know it’s not gonna taste as good as the other bottle (also it’s...definitely still fermenting. there were bubbles. i. did not plan for this nor expect it so it’s probs a good thing i tasted it bc they’re not in bottles with corks that breathe so burping is needed so i don’t explode things. that would be MESSY and unfortunate)
also fingers crossed that i picked remotely close to a correct ratio of prickly pear juice to honey
also also fingers crossed that i found all the dang glochids in my dang fingers from prepping the prickly pears bc goddamn did they do a number on me prepping them! my attempts to use a brush and washcloth were Insufficient and i absolutely should have held off until i went to the store to get rubber gloves so this didn’t happen

Why did no one tell me that Dracula was a fucking COMEDY.
The book opens up with Jonathan experiencing a paprika overload. Dracula pretends to be the coachman and drives Jonathan around in circles until he decides he's established enough of a dramatic atmosphere. By day three in the castle Jonathan has picked up that there are no servants and Dracula is secretly doing all the chores, including driving him there. The first time Jonathan tries to shave, the count barges into the room, yeets his mirror out the window, refuses to elaborate and leaves. Jonathan also notices that he is a prisoner in the castle but doesn't dare to bring it up, which... is a mood, but also hilarious. A week into his stay he sees his employer/kidnapper crawling facedown out a wall

Do you guys ever think,
when Percy dies, Grover will die at the same time. But unlike the others, they'll never be reunited in Elysium because Grover's a satyr who never get into Elysium, they turn into a tree.
And, if Annabeth is outlives Percy, she won't just grieve the love of her life but one of her best friends as well, one of the first people who believed in her, outside of luke and thalia.
One more thing, When Percy dies at least Annabeth will know she gets to see him again in Elysium but she'll also have to live with the knowledge that she'll never see Grover again even in death.
And if you don't want to think abt this, then:
Then don't think about her throwing away the collection of tin cans she and Percy probably kept for Grover.
Don't think about her using something from a tin can and thinking "I'll save this for Grover" and then realizing she'll never get to give it to him.
Don't think about her never being able to eat blue food or enchiladas again.
Don't think about her and Juniper holding each other and crying.
Don't think about Juniper momentarily hating Annabeth for getting to see her husband after she dies before forgetting all about her anger because they both lost their loves, damn it!
Don't think about Annabeth "Always Six Foot Ahead" Chase knowing death is approaching and making a list of what she wants to be burnt with so that she can give them to everyone who she has ever cared about. Adding "Tin Cans and Enchiladas" in the list before breaking down again.
Don't think abt Percy reaching Elysium, being greeted by all of his friends, looking around for grover before registering why he wasn't there.
Don't think about him mourning his best friend, his brother even when in Eternal Paradise.
Don't think about it.
