Southern Style Sweet Tea

A quick trip to the drug store

The thunderstorm blinked the lights

And we laughed while taking our time

Walking through the aisles

Carefully selecting candy and Arizona tea

Back when they were only 99 cents for a large can

We’d pick a new flavor

Check out

And brave the rain again

How many moments

Like this

Did I forget?

How many moments

Like this

Will I forget?

Every second gone is another you’ll never get back

And you may not even remember the ones you spent

Trying to bribe the sky to stretch each one out

As long as you can

The rain fell

Flooding this moment from my head

But the overcasted Walgreens

Brought it back

It’s funny

Time and it’s tricks

Pillars of the years

Seize beneath the surface

Like the only constant thing

About life is forgetting

Trading in aluminum

For plastic

Even the price of growing up

Is inflating

Serious note: Milo’s tea is the only bottled sweet tea worth drinking

#Arizona tea has a ton of great drinks but their southern style sweet tea is a pale imitation of the real thing

How do you take your tea?

I enjoy sweet tea! But typically only the kind my family makes, restaurants just can't get it quite right

#how to make sweet tea/southern style sweet tea #fill a bowl with 2 quarts water. add 3 tea bags (black tea) #(idk how big the tea bags are. sorry if youre using leaves or different portion sizes) #microwave the bowl for 10 minutes #get your tea jug (a gallon. im p sure) add 2 cups of sugar #once the microwave is done. pour your tea into the jug. remove teabags from the bowl and fill it up with 2 more quarts of water #do not microwave this one! just add the water straight to the pitcher #stir until combined & all sugar is dissolved #leave in the fridge overnight #enjoy! you now have a gallon of sweet tea to last 1 day #ask #:>

I imagine in his early days, Alastor was an energetic little hobbit child romping around the woods and catching frogs and helping his wonderful mama in the kitchen any chance he got.

I’ve had moments like these, where I eat an old favorite (namely Thai-style ketchup fried rice) and suddenly I’m six years old again in my grandparents' kitchen with the orange tiled countertops and the humid smell of a South Carolina rain coming down outside.

[IMAGE DESCRIPTION: colored 6 panel comic

PANEL 1: Lucifer and Alastor are seated at a table eating lunch. L: This is delicious! Did you memorize all your mother’s recipes?

PANEL 2: There’s a bowl of gumbo (shrimp, sausage and chicken) and rice. A: (offscreen) Most, but not all of them. I had to hunt down the right recipe for this one.

PANEL 3: Alastor takes a bite, silhouetted in the foreground. L: How do you know you got the right one?

PANEL 4: Alastor is still in shadow, but pale radio waves seem to be emanating from his head as he dips into a memory.

PANEL 5: A small freckled boy with reddish-brown curls and a red shirt is seated with a bowl of gumbo at the dinner table. He is smiling widely, his cheeks full of food as his mother’s hand reaches over to wipe his face with a napkin. Mama: (offscreen) Alastor! Slow down! Smaller bites, cher! You have gumbo all over your face!

PANEL 6: A young black woman with freckles laughs and smiles down at her son. She’s dressed in a high-necked blouse and her hair is done up in a pinned back Victorian up-do. She’s wearing a small red brooch. A: (offscreen) Mama’s cooking is the best! M: Why thank you, my sweet boy. How about I show you how next time? A: Yay!! Alastor: (present day) You just do.

Can companies that bottle/can “sweet” tea stop putting citric acid in them?  If I wanted my tea to taste like I had a lemon slice dunked in there, I’d get a lemon flavor, or I’d dunk a lemon slice in there.  When I get a sweet tea, I want a sweet tea and the citric acid really cuts back on the sweetness.

#no #some people not liking their sweet tea that sweet doesn't justify it #it's sweet tea #not semi-sweet tea #Arizona and Lipton are both guilty of this #so far only Gold Tea is honest when they say sweet tea #you can't even trust when the bottle/can says Southern Style #Like #excuse me #I've been to the south #We have a southern transplant in our church #(who doesn't make his sweet tea that sweet) #The lemon taste is something you choose to add #not something that's a given

Prompt: leather jacket, pay phone, Southern accent.

Mulder’s Southern accent is pure Hilton Head; the Long Island Lockjaw of the magnolia-and-sweet-tea set. His mother’s people came from here and he learned to golf with them. Mulder knows about Lowcountry food and unironic madras trousers and herons in the pre-dawn light. He knows when to say “The War of Northern Aggression,” with a laconic wink.

Mulder knows all the lyrics to “The Battle of New Orleans.” He happily eats shrimp with the heads still on.

Scully - lower middle class Navy brat with aristocratic cheekbones and a chip on her fine shoulder - is his acceptable Yankee wife. She’s never going to say “pecan” the proper way. Never going to cut her eyes just right at white shoes after Labor Day. They named her Jessica and said she was from Sag Harbor, and the Louis Vuitton tote bag is getting her by.

Scully, in AquaNet and Lilly Pulitzer, misses Mulder’s Mid-Atlantic cool, his New England snobbery. Misses his firm opinions on Chicago-style pizza (a casserole) and Billy Joel (unironic legend). She wants her hand pressed to his sternum in a grey t-shirt and a leather jacket, a faded hoodie from the Vineyard.

Mulder (Emmett, she hisses in her own head) knows that quality families would never repair the upholstery because it’s déclassé to care. Would never

Mulder eats a cheese straw, Mulder nuzzles her tingling ear in the steamy June evening, tells a funny story at the Cavendish-Lawrence wedding.

“I swear to Christ, Jessica had to pull over and find a payphone,” Mulder says, to his starry—eyed audience. “My poor sweet girl on the side of the road with a tornado alert, ordering Christmas presents.”

Mulder clutches her to him, his fingers big and hot and wide against her waist as the audience titters with admiration. Mulder smells like fresh cotton and old money. Mulder looks like the best terrible decision she’ll ever make.

She’s going to fuck him tonight, she decides. She simply cannot stand it anymore, and it would be such a shame to waste away without having had him, like some medieval ascetic. She wants him to lick her tattoo, to bind her to the living world.

Mulder drops a kiss on her buzzing cheek, near the tiny neutron star encroaching on her very essence.

She hears the tide lap against the dock, laughs the way Jessica is expected to laugh.

She feels alive, like sparks rising towards the sun.

crowley invented southern (USA) style sweet tea (specifically the kind that has more sugar per cup than most sodas)

#good omens #anthony j crowley #crowley #good omens headcanons #aziracrow #aziraphale #poll #ineffable husbands

[lila-rae]

I have an awful craving so I’m attempting to make southern style sweet tea (using Tetly so we’ll see how this goes) but my in laws are looking at me in absolute horror at the amount of sugar I’m about to use.

Sweet tea not being a universal staple is a crime.

TF2 HEADCANONS PART TWO ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

I told myself I’d get these up one of these days👍 I finished this list at 4 am last night so none of this makes any sense and every word is more chaotic than the ones before it and no I’m not sorry y’all sighed up for this bs

Scout

-Can understand a good chunk of French but can’t speak more than a few simple words if that, has no clue how he understands it (Spy spoke a good amount of French around him as a baby or something idk)

-Can be just has hard to find as Spy-once you loose sight of him he’s impossible to find if he’s actually trying to stay hidden-Like father like son

-Can and will steal your food-this includes Heavy and Medic-He has no fear whatsoever and has been sent to respawn god knows how many fucking times because of this-And yet he still does it

-Loves scifi movies and comics and if you watch a movie with him half of it is him pointing out random trivia facts because he’s incapable of shutting the fuck up (this is also what happens when you watch a movie with me irl. My grandparents are sick and tired of it. Yes this is even more self projection what of it?)

-has mastered the younger sibling talent of fucking climbing people if it means getting something that’s held over his head. He also bites

Soldier

-it’s impossible to tell if he’s insulting you or complimenting you 90% of the time

-Has stabbed Scout’s hand to the table to prevent him from stealing food before and no one stopped him

-The team has movie nights once a week and Soldier always puts on the same inaccurate WW2 documentary he made himself when it’s his turn to pick-he used to put on 10 hours of the American National Anthem but someone (read: The rest of the team working together) lost (read: Violently destroyed) the tape after the third time

-I said he was from Missouri once in a rp cuz my rp friend and I are both from different parts of Missouri so that’s my hc now

Pyro

-I always hc him as Irish for some reason idk why

-Can casually pick up every merc except for Heavy-He struggles a bit with Medic because that man is pure muscle but they can indeed pick him up

-May or may not be a cannibal-it’s a little uncertain but either way they’re banned from the kitchen and cooking duty

-I’m a sucker for the hc that he does not like water whatsoever-Getting this man a bath is like trying to bathe a cat except somehow even more deadly

Demo

-This may be the impulsive sleep deprivation but my brain randomly went “What If he can see general ghosts because of his possessed eye socket, not just Eyelander or the scream fortress ghosts” so sometimes people walk in on him casually having a conversation with the air. Considering he’s made out with his own organs in his head, this is one of the less weird things they’ve walked in on him doing

-Surprisingly he’s the best with kids out of all 9 mercs, Heavy is a good runner up though and Spy’s not far behind but will never admit it

Heavy

-Accent gets thicker when he’s talking to people he cares about

-Was the one who suggested the movie nights in the first place

-Actually cleans up in the base unlike literally everyone else

Engie

-People don’t realize how unhinged this man is ok??? Anyways he’s a caffeine addict and has developed the habit of pulling way too many all nighters if it means getting work done (like me. It’s 4 am as I work on this list. Help)

-What’s a southern farm boy without a few dozen concerning stories about pushing cousins out of second story barn windows or near drowning fishing story? My cousins lived on a farm when we were kids and they scared the shit out of me I swear there was a new broken bone every summer

-probably once had a sleep deprived mental breakdown on his workshop floor because the sweet tea one of the mercs made him wasn’t sweet enough idk man I’m sleep deprived rn and could really use a southern style sweet tea

Medic

-Mann vs Machine hc that his hometown would rather deal with the robots than having Medic anywhere near them ever again. They want him GONE

-Sleeps like a fucking corpse-You can’t even tell he’s breathing unless you look closely. He even crosses his arms like a corpse

-Will take you graverobbing for a romantic date-gotta get experiment canvases somehow he’s running out of room on the other mercs without them just dropping dead from it all

Sniper

-The opposite of a morning person, but his internal clock won’t let him sleep in ever. The suns up? He’s up! Someone help him

-Has befriended a wild owl and feeds it at night-The offense trio very violently helped him name it (They fist fought eachother over who’s name was better while Sniper spaced out thinking about random gator facts)

Spy

-An adrenaline junkie but will never ever admit it

-Spy can mimic voices to a near perfect even without his disguise kit-he however rarely uses this and instead simply mocks everyone instead because he finds it funny (“This is Scout! Rainbows make me cry!”)

-Wears a corset because I said so-It always matches perfectly with his outfit and underwear too-He feels SO bonita

Bonus since it’s Pride Month

-Scout is gay and so many levels deep in the closet it’s embarrassing-He’s also trans because I said so

-Soldier is trans, bi, and poly :) his list of wives consists of anyone and everyone /j

-Spy is bi and a cis man who wears dresses regularly he’s gnc af and I love that for him he’s my wife now

-Medic is gay and still legally married to his wife they’re mlm wlm solidarity married for tax benefits /j

-Pyro is trans, non-binary, and pan and uses he/they pronouns because I said so

-None of these men are straight ok

-Medic did both Scout and Soldier’s top surgery but both of them instead have overly extravagant extremely gorey stories on how they got their scars

Imagine a yuu as a really crazy stereotypical cowboy

They come out of the coffin with a cowboy hat and leather boots

Azul and riddle wouldn’t need to use magic to capture grim cause yuu just whips out their rope and lassos him

This yuu would speak in the heaviest southern accent ever. Their vocabulary consists of “howdy Y’ALL” “partner” “hold your horses”

Anytime someone tries to pick a fight with yuu they demand a duel, Wild West style

Because who needs magic when you have a loaded pistol?

Yuu carries their holster at ALL times

This yuu is most confused once deuce starts talking about the live chicks in the eggs

“What’d you mean? There ain’t no damn chicks in those eggs!”

Vil loses it when he sees yuu making some sweet tea that’s 30% tea and 70% sugar

Tho they make some GOOD biscuits and gravy/syrup 🤤

Yuu has some nice arms from all the farm work they do

Epel and this yuu are besties for sure

Yuu has thought about lassoing some savannaclaw students before. Will they do it? Who knows…

American Rook...

No but i love this. Vil is screaming at them when they see greasy fried steak covered in butter with a side of chicharrones and a block of sugar disguised as tea. Jack understanding how Leona feels when Yuu grips onto their chickens and threatens to kill another wolf. Every time they smolder and give a speech, an eagle cries out.

Okay so im a massive tea snobdrinker. Love me my leaf juice. I love everything from old school Chinese to full English drowning in milk. If the OM cast had a signature tea, what do you think they would be?

Personally I can't see Mammon drinking anything but coffee, and Lucifer has a thing for premium aged Pu-er, but the rest elude me. Earl gray seems a little obvious for barbs, so I thought I'd ask an expert 😉

Also congrats on the 50k+ word fiction. Can't wait to read it! I'm seriously thinking of ways to put Pandora on page properly, of which you have her thanks.

-🪿honk

Oh, thank you! It was never meant to be that long but here we are 🙃

I do hope you write Pandora's story if you're inspired to!! For me, it's truly the highest of compliments when someone says I've inspired them to write or create something... I hope you enjoy the journey!

Okay, okay, so tea.

I'm kind of a snob too but I also drink coffee... I like all kinds of fancy drinks! But I haven't really considered what I think the characters' signature might be so now I'm curious about it.

Lucifer is interesting because he's canonically a tea drinker - his and Barb's chatroom is called Tea Demons lol. And I think you're right, he's gonna go for the rare or more involved type of tea and the way pu-er is made that checks right out to me.

I kinda think Mammon would drink chai tea lattes. I don't know why, but something about that combo of spicy sweet just makes me think of him.

Levi doesn't strike me as a tea drinker much at all. He gives off massive energy drink vibes. But I could see him maybe going for some southern style sweet tea or like... an Arnold Palmer or something. An obvious exception would be if there was some kind of tea specific to an anime he was into lol.

They don't really talk about Satan drinking tea, but he absolutely strikes me as a drinker of tea. One of his hobbies is latte art so I could see him experimenting with tea lattes. But I think just for regular drinking, he would probably go herbal. Chamomile or mint or maybe lemon.

Asmo likes pretty tea so I assign him hibiscus tea. Either hot or iced, it's this gorgeous dark red. I also think he'd like to dump sugar into his tea and that actually makes hibiscus tea taste delicious imo. I also see him going floral in other ways like maybe having traditional black tea but flavored with rose or lavender.

Beel strikes me as a citrus guy. Orange spice tea. I could also see him enjoying something like peach tea. Or teas that are specifically made for like... giving you energy and such. You know for workouts?

Belphie probably drinks Sleepy Time tea lol. I mean that's probably too on brand but it'd be funny. Still, something soothing like chamomile is probably best for him.

I kinda get the sense that Diavolo will drink whatever tea Barbatos serves him. And I think he probably prefers Devildom varieties. But if he was going to have something from the human world, I'd have to go with acai berry tea. It's also dark red which gives me Dia vibes, but it's naturally a little sweeter than hibiscus so you don't have to add a ton of sugar.

Ahh Barbatos. I'm flattered you think of me as an expert. But it's hard to choose one for him because he seems to appreciate the flavors and uses of many different blends. However, if I was going to choose something, it'd be Jasmine green tea. Simple, elegant, with a subtle flavor profile that's easy to mess up if you don't brew it right, and a hint of floral. I could also see him particularly enjoying silver moonlight white tea - rare and harvested only beneath a full moon. That just feels like the kind of mysterious vibe Barb would like lol.

I think Simeon seems like he would also enjoy a variety of flavors, but I'd give him oolong. It's like in between black and green, smooth and sweet, just kind of perfect, like he is.

Solomon is the Earl Grey drinker. Classic and robust, with its black tea flavor enhanced with that little burst of bergamot. He might drink it black too but he likely puts milk in it. Though I can see him also enjoying it in latte form. I'm just imagining Satan making him London Fogs with cats drawn in the foam~

Mephisto probably drinks only Devildom tea lol. But if I'm gonna say what I think he'd be into rooibos. It's another red tea, so we've got his flamboyance, but it's more earthy in flavor than either hibiscus or acai which I think would fit his palate. Plus we know that he dumps sugar in his tea and I think a good rooibos could handle that.

Raphael strikes me as an English Breakfast tea drinker. Give him the classic black tea blend with some milk, but no sugar. I don't know why, it just feels no nonsense like him lol.

Lastly I give Thirteen matcha tea. Thirteen is different in many ways - the only female in the cast, the only reaper, etc. And matcha is tea but it's different and it has a unique flavor. And matcha powder can be used in all kinds of things, too. It's versatile. And I think all of that fits with her personality.

Oh dear I seem to have written an essay on tea. It's fine, it's fine, I'm totally normal about this I promise.

Tagged by @priincebutt to share one of my WIPs. This one is a story that I’m really excited about but won’t start posting until I’m basically done writing it. The content means too much just just be something I start posting but never finish. It’s called Please don’t say you love me. Enjoy!

He sighed and sat up, wrapping his arms around his legs and resting his chin on his knees. David whined and pressed himself against Henry. He knew his human wasn’t well. His eyes on the carpet, Henry replied, “I don’t really want to get into the details, but the long and the short of it is…I have been seeing someone for the past eighteen months. He’s in the closet. After graduation, I asked him if we could get a place together. He said…”

Henry, be serious! I thought you understood what this was. I have to put my career first. I can’t risk people finding out. Christ, I should have known dating someone so young was a mistake, I thought you were mature enough to understand my situation!

Henry squeezed his eyes shut, tears tumbling down his cheeks. “He said no. It’s over.”

It’s gonna be an angsty boi, but I promise there’s a HEA. It’s set in my hometown of Hot Springs, Arkansas because I wanted to explore the beauty of found family, queer communities in the South and smaller towns when compared to big cities, and the reckoning that comes with truly accepting yourself. That was one thing that really inspired me when reading I Kissed Shara Wheeler, when Georgia told Chloe, “I know she left. A lot of people do. And that's okay! I get it! Everybody has to do what they have to do. But if everyone like us leaves False Beach, it's never going to change. Someone has to stay.”

I hope yall love this story as much as I do. Also I needed a story where Alex drinks sweet tea like the good Southern boy that he is! He can drink coffee all he wants, but it drives me bananas when stories have him only drinking coffee and dismissing tea out right. Not liking English style tea is one thing; Southern sweet tea is another thing entirely! *steps off my Southern soapbox realizing that not my experience is not universal 😅*

Happy Sunday, yall.
