Galahad's Onion Brew
Okay, so ever since watching Wizards, one thing that has stuck in my brain was Galahad's "Onion Brew" I don't know if it's just the way John Rhys-Davies voiced the line, or the plausible deniability of such a things alcohol content, but for some ungodly reason, I have, ever since, wanted to know what it would taste like.
Then a friend of mine got me into brewing.
And I made
Onion Ale
Now leaving aside what kind of "brew" Galahad's would most plausibly be, I went with ale because it's easy to water down and drink fast.
Basing it on a recipe for onion wine from a YouTube Brewer, I downed the total sugar to match closer to the alcohol content of an ale (about 6.2%ABV in the end) (which is a bit high, actually) using brown sugar rather than refined sugar or malt.
What I ended up with after a 10 day fermentation, was a cloudy light brown liquid (cloudy because onions have a lot of pectin, and i wasn't in the mood to clear it for aesthetic sake) that absolutely REEKS of onions, it is such an odd and strong scent, that while I was in the process of decanting it, I was informed it could be smelled from the other end of the house.
After bottling the majority of the brew, I sat down with my sample glass to taste it, and it's.... not bad? It's a little sweet with a caramel note, but after it's been in your mouth for a couple seconds, the onion comes through, more and more, and then all you can taste is Onions.
The flavour of onion lingers after one has finished drinking, for hours in fact, and I swear I can still smell it through my digestive tract.
In conclusion it tastes like onions (shocker) and while I would certainly drink it if it was what's on offer, I would perhaps drink just about anything else first, I can only assume that Galahad must REALLY like the flavor of onion to make such a thing.

Iruma is an invasive species within the Netherworld, and like many invasive species he will conquer if left unchecked.
We know at some point, humans and demons interacted though, at some point, they each became each other’s myths. I propose that the separation was intentional on the demon side, relegating humans to bedtime stories. They did this because they knew a single human could elevate or devastate the Netherworld. Humans are weaker in demons in most ways physically but their real strength lies in their cooperativeness and desire for community, adaptability  and perseverance despite adversity.
Right from the start, Iruma has unnaturally succeeded in a world that incredibly hostile to him. And yet from the start be began building relationships. We’ve seen demons don’t have much of a concept of ‘friends’ the closest being ‘allies’. The Misfits individually were lazy and self-centered which is what got them sent to troublemakers class. Only when Iruma reached out and formed positive relationships, created a foreign system of giving and receiving help did they really flourish. With each arc, we see the class cooperating and relying with each other more and more, even in individual events. Its helped them grow exponentially in power and personality and only occurred because Iruma planted the notion that they are stronger together.
Iruma is also extremely adaptable not only from his hectic upbringing but his innate humanity. Despite not knowing the context of what is happening during most of his day, he adapts extremely well. He uses what skills he gained in the human world by tweaking them to suit his needs and picked up new demonic skills (such as using Ali-san’s stored magic) very quickly. Part of the ‘special training’ leading up to the Harvest Festival was forcing the kids to break out of just using their bloodline abilities. Iruma has no power himself and thus isn’t limited in what he uses to complete a task. We’ve seen on a few occasions he wins simply because his opponent is too stuck in a particular way of fighting and thinking. Being able to think on his feet and not just stick to the familiar is what makes him such a fierce opponent.
Finally, we’ve observed that demons on the whole are self-centered and lazy. This is not always the case but overall many lack the ability to pursue or accept change. Even the Six Fingers is all about returning to origins and reviving Delkira, in other words, moving backwards. But since he arrived in the Netherworld Iruma has boldly moved forward. He integrated well into a completely alien environment and not only became popular but powerful very quickly. He worked hard to unlearn an ingrained skill (dodging) to win a contest going head to head with the most powerful student. Even when his fellows wanted to give up, his dedication and well known compassion helped win them the Royal One. He became an expert archer even when his master said most demons gave up, refusing to put in the effort. Challenges that most demons backed down from, Iruma charged on ahead.
Iruma used his ability to bring people together, to adapt to any situation no matter how strange and to see his ambitions through to go from someone who should’ve been eaten on day one to a stand out demon. Iruma himself is a kind, extraordinary young man but he also has a natural advantage in an environment he is unknowingly adapted to. It’s one of the reasons why he will eventually be demon king because who else deserves to stand at the very top than the creature who can outnumber, out-think and outlast any demonic opponent?

He likes to scavenge for drugs during the night. He’ll eat a few plots of menticide straight out of the ground at 2 in the morning if you leave him.
hence why he's a raccoon of an ant that digs around in my farms at night. little freak of a man. love him.

Julian's always curious when I pray the rosary at night and she's pretty good about not biting the beads, but tonight I was praying with the wooden one my brother made me and oh my goodness she was really struggling to hold herself back, especially with the bone cross 😂 the way she looks at it with her big blue eyes and how she gently reaches out for it with her tiny white paw is really cute 🥺🥰
Julian is a cat btw

more of This, now with Even More Lydia (now that I can draw her decently-)
shes not keen on the beach despite her dads insistence the sun would be good for her and cheer her up. luckily for her she found this gross fish washed up on the shore
beej has shades of ursula in this in that hes got weird ocean magic and can allow lydia to turn into a merperson- she doesnt agree for a while due to not trusting weird sea demons with ominous pacts but eventually gets fed up and relents. they have fun tormenting the local seaside town together
beejs main pitch to her in this au is like 'hey yknow what'd REALLY scare your dad. if you went missing at sea with me. cmon bestie' and when lyds stops entertaining this notion because as much fun as shes having, she doesnt really want to do that- he decides well IM going up on land then >:( and thats when he starts conspiring to make a second deal with her to Get Legs (and also maybe revenge on former friends who start ditching him)
something something im sure it’ll all work out in the end. until then, here’s some fish pals

found out that rascal's owner took him again while i was out, and he's probably not gonna be back since the semester's almost over. i don't even know if his owner's coming back next semester, if i'll ever see him again. if he'll ever see me again. why do they wait until im not around to do this? why do they never let me say goodbye to him?
#i didnt really get to process it bc i found out when i was hanging w a friend but. im processing it now#sigh.. i dont know. i dont know.#at the end of the day he is and has always been someone else's cat. i can't control what she does with him#no matter what i think of it. she can always take him away. but every time it happens im just. im tired yknow?#it's worth it to me to have him around. i love him dearly and i want him to be in a home where he's actually cared for (which i have done my#best to provide) but he's just. not mine. and every time it happens i back up and think man. im such a sucker.#i don't think people manipulate me often. not in an ongoing way i mean. i don't think ppl see me as valuable enough to most of the time.#but damn. she really found my weak spots didn't she. free petcare courtesy of one chump who can't live without animals around. sigh#he deserves stability but he deserves love more. this weird shared custody thing is better for him i think. and frankly i also love him.#im not the priority here but my feelings are like. there. him being taken away without even telling me first hurts. i'd like to be able to#say goodbye to him. im not saying he has to stay or this has to go on but couldn't they just.. consider my feelings a bit more?#just bc you're fine with dropping your cat off somewhere for weeks not knowing when you'll see him again and not visiting doesn't mean i am#and i kind of feel like my roommate is part of this. after all it's not like his owner can just break into our room and take him#and if im always out when they do it there's a chance roomie's just shipping him off whenever she gets sick of him.#she's done it before. even after she agreed so vehemently with me about never wanting him to go back to such treatment and stuff early on.#she's been spraying him for little reason lately too. and i mean i get being a little more cautious with some things bc her neck's broken#but she's really fixated on how much he smells and bites and stuff and talks about how if i wasn't around she'd consider eating him#and then other times she's like that's my pookie. i don't get it. like yeah i tell rascal to fuck off sometimes bc he hurts me but it's not#like a hateful thing. i dont resent him for it i'm just annoyed sometimes bc he's maiming me a little. he's my baby. how could i loathe him?#so it makes me think that roomie might be blaming his transfers on his owner bc she doesn't want me to judge her#and like. this is her room too. it's not her fault she's more bothered by the smell than me. if she doesn't want to be bitten and clawed all#the time i can sympathize. i don't wanna force her to house him. but i wish she'd just be honest with me i guess#like. what if his owner decides to give him away without telling me? i'd take him in in a heartbeat. even though i know it's a bad idea.#but i'm worried he'll fall out of my reach completely. and at the very least I'd like to be able to say goodbye first. that's all.

my patronizing attitude towards non-transguys and transfems a couple years back was misinformed and something ive started to really work on and excise from my brain, that any group of trans ppl is inherently better than another
Then i see another transmasc go on about transmisandry and how oppressed trans men are by "transmisandry deniers" and i feel like the joker

do you ever think about how dean probably has this huge cloud of alcohol constantly floating around him and get kinda sad. he told that imaginary shrink that he has about fifty drinks per week because "he has to sleep sometimes" and that was only in season FIVE. and as soon as he got out of that psych ward he told sam that he needs a drink ("or twelve"). in the episode with the japanese booze monster sam asked him, jokingly, but still, whether he can even get drunk anymore because that's how much he drinks apparently. like he's a canon alcoholic and it's safe to assume that even if we don't see him taking a sip from his flask on camera that he really constantly is under the influence and idk that's just really, really sad when you think about it. i love that guy so much the way he is but I really wonder what he would be like if he was sober

Diona is extremely touch averse, but once she gets comfortable, she will get clingy. And she will get a little moody if she's not able to be.
#hc; diona#//She loves Draff dearly; but it's been AGES since she could really hug him without the reek of booze repulsing her#//And those others she's okay with it are very few and in between#//Prior to Traveler; they were (least to most comfortable): Kae (when not drinking); Lisa (not drinking); Margaret (not drinking) & Klee#//Traveler did worm their way right into her heart tho; she likes them loads. Them and Sucrose#//Shuyun; she doesn’t know how to feel about. It deffo varies; but she likes him for the most part. Not enough for hugs tho#//but yeah. ANYWHO; once she DOES find someone Worthy and there's an open shot to hug them?#//It's like when you hug your cat after awhile apart and they dig their little claws in so you can't pull 'em away#//She does that a LOT. Just Won’t let go until she has her fill. Or they make her so do#//If she's unable to hug them; at or or to how much she wants to; she WILL be temperamental and fussy#//Though certain workarounds do help#//Like being wrapped up in something with their smell; it's close enough to a hug#//Minus the body heat and soothing pressure#//She also really REALLY loves rubbing faces. Quickly in that; and even without a hug; she'll be a little satisfied#//Is her preferred greeting with those Special People. She also love love LOVES little head bunts#//And WILL do so seemingly unprompted to folks especially dear to her#//So if she seemingly headbutts you out of nowhere? Congratulations! You are (one of) her favorite person!#//She really craves affection So Much. but is VERY selective form who; & those WHO gotta know she WILL get attached#//Literally. And she WILL NOT let go#//Pls be gentle with her; she really does mean the best

what would you do to fix kep1er? idk if you c a r e about kepler but, thats pert of the problem,,, no one cares about kepler all that much? what went wrong? there are countless video essays explaining how the concept isnt well thought out. the music is lackluster. the other produce groups have become so popular that kepler is pushed aside. personally, i dont even think all the members fit the concept that well.
there are two kepler songs that i like, and those are mvsk and le voyage, so i would not classify myself as actually caring about them, but it is an interesting thought experiment! i know pretty much nothing about them, including on whatever their concept is, but that doesn't really factor into how to fix them, because the best way to fix them is to 1) kick the minors, 2) actually train them properly, 3) reassemble the group with proper attention paid to talent distribution. "concept" is not actually a dependable thing that will draw people to a group, you need to back that up with BOTH tangible skills and - this is extremely important - people that actually know how to work in a group together. concept is a set dressing that is meant to hook people, but it doesn't keep people, what actually keeps fans is a combination of personality and ability. and composition and teamwork are very important to help establish that. survival shows in general are not built to make groups that have good composition; how on earth do you expect a cohesive group to be made of kids who are literally fighting each other for popularity points??? you think fans understand how to assemble a balanced kpop group????? survival shows are basically an extended training period, and when you make the goal of that training period trying to catch the attention of fans as an individual and not actually forming a solid understanding of how to perform IN a group, you are going to make groups that sure, they have very popular individual members, but they have no depth or flavour as a whole because they don't know how to.
not to gas up tan or wild idol again BUT if you want an example of how to make a survival show that actually builds a cohesive group, it's literally right there. limit intake trainee size, have them do challenges that are focused on teamwork, leadership, and practical skills idols have to be able to do, and also cut down the trainees fast so there's a smaller group that spends more time together. wild idol cut the entire 45 trainee group down to 16 in the THIRD episode, so that in the rest of the episodes they could actually focus on building the working relationships between the trainees and not have them constantly fighting over popularity. and also, perhaps even the most important point: LIMITED FAN VOTING. the fan voting was a very small percentage of their final score, so each of the members that made it into the group actually made it via being judged on their merits. when a group is made of popularity contest members and only on a short term contract, they don't have any incentive or ability to actually try and truly form a group.
#unironically i think everyone should watch wild idol bc it's SO interesting to see how they plan everything out#like they literally engineered a perfect group by making guys flip logs and run around outside#and the way they settled who was going to end up being the leader was SO fascinating#and also very important to note that the guy who actually won the show (changsun) is not the centre#he won because he displayed the most well rounded skills and he knew how to be a leader. so they made him leader#also the outcome of wild idol was so predictable (by design) like there are literally no other combinations of people that would have worke#bc of all of what you had seen up until that point#kpop questions#kep1er#i got distracted talking about tan but my point is that kepler doesnt actually feel like a group yanno#theyre a bunch of girls together bc of a contract#and i think they fell off really hard bc mnet made them show their asses during queendom#and everyone saw that they are not really prepared to be a functional idol group#also the fact that one of the girls is already tapped to go into another group when the contract is over?#that does not smell like they care that much#text#answers#there's different degrees of caring obvs like im not expecting any of the girls to give their firstborns for kepler or whatever#but you do have to care and be invested in a group in order to make it succeed#i occasionally watch a music show stage of them and they just do not have a group vibe at ALL
