Hi, I'm Charlotte

I'm 17, bigender(though it's very confusing), they/them, androsexual, autistic, indecisive, and in the middle of figuring out how to make this post lol

I'm interested in art, magick, books, and Omori

Hope this helps introduce me, now I gotta find out how to pin this

I will forever be obsessing over Laios imaging himself as a wolf (a dangerous animal, and one that is [albeit falsely] associated with loneliness) and Marcille imagining him as a cute dog. It shows how negatively he thinks of himself after his fight with Shuro, and how even if he worries now that he's a nuisance to people/can't fit in, NOBODY PERCEIVES HIM THIS WAY. HE'S JUST A SILLY GUY. MARCILLE ASSOCIATES HIM WITH THE DOG BECAUSE HE'S LOYAL AND LOVEABLE.

Day before yesterday I impulsively nibbled a bit of my mountain mint plant and after 3 seconds had to spit it out because my mouth flooded with intense, burning minty cold much greater than normal spearmint

Wood sorrel would be a great flavor for a candy. It's so tart and tangy, some people say it's like lemon but it doesn't have the chalky undertone of lemon, it's like the dryness of lemon acidity was replaced with juicy. Green apple but less sweet, more vegetable. i love to eat the woodsorrel (but don't eat too much because it has oxalic acid which your kidneys don't like)

I made woodsorrel candy!

Here's what I did:

Harvest several generous handfuls of woodsorrel (Oxalis stricta). It grows rampantly near the bushes outside my apartment, so this was very easy for me.

Clean the plants and strip the leaves. I ended up with about a quarter cup of fresh leaves, but I think that more would yield a more flavorful result. Using 1/2 cup and 2 Tbsp of just-boiled water, steep the leaves for 20 minutes to make a tisane. Mine didn't noticeably change color, but it smelled delightfully lemony.

Prepare a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone mat sitting in it. This will be important later.

Strain the tisane into a smallish pot with high sides over high heat. Then add 1 cup + 2 Tbsp of sugar, and 2 Tbsp of corn syrup. (I do not recommend omitting the corn syrup, because the invert sugars are very good at preventing unwanted crystalization). Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly, then keep stirring until it reaches 300 degrees F, or the hard-crack stage of candy.

Then pour the candy onto the silicone mat in the baking sheet. It is VERY HOT at this stage, absolutely DO NOT TOUCH with your hands. If you want to color the candy, this is a good time to do it, put a couple of drops of food color on the candy (I was trying to dye mine green, but I grabbed red instead of yellow, oops!).

Then, using a spoon or a bench scraper fold the hardening edges of the candy toward the hot center, and repeat until it becomes cool enough to touch with your hands. Pull it like taffy. If it becomes too stiff and unworkable, heat it in the microwave in 10 second increments until it becomes workable again. When you are happy with how it looks, cut it into segments.

It tastes a bit like lime and a bit like green apple, it's very good! I think it might be nice to use more woodsorrel, or possibly used dried woodsorrel as well as fresh

Whoa that's AWESOME omg

Woodsorrel candy!!!

[firstofficerrose]

#did you JUST do this???

Yes! I saw your post, thought it was a good idea, verified that all parts of O. stricta are edible and that the tisane was something people have done (it gets used in traditional Cherokee medicine, apparently), checked the woodsorrel I had on hand to make sure it tasted right, and then adapted a horehound candy recipe. Less than an hour and a half from start to finish. It turned out surprisingly well!

Edit: As people are saying in the notes, be careful where you harvest the woodsorrel from, and be aware that oxalic acid can have detrimental effects in large amounts. I don't know exactly how much counts as a large amount, so y'all might need to do some looking if y'all are concerned. Have fun trying it, though!

I think it’s really cute that Mickbell called Chilchuck a greedy old geezer and was like ‘nyeh nyeh 😠🖕fuck you’ and was giving him the stinkeye from a distance when their parties met up.

and despite that, Chilchuck had no hesitations about taking him to hide in safety. and then they were chill enough to talk shit with each other later lol

Now that Twitter's URL has officially changed, lets all join hands and remember that Elon Musk threw away one of the most recognizable, established brands of the past decade due to his personal chuunibyou fascination with the letter X.

[aokozaki]

People love reblogging this post and saying "well, this is just what happens when an (undiagnosed) autistic person has too much money", as if the reason Musk had bad taste is autism - implying autistics inherently have bad taste - and not that he's the lamest type of chuuni known to man.

"Chuunibyou" of course, being a Japanese slang term (literally meaning "8th Grader Syndrome") for people whose idea of "cool" aligns with what an 8th grade boy would find cool, even though they really should've grown out of that by now.

So, y'know, the type of guy who thinks the letter X on its own is so cool that he keeps trying to use it as a brand. Before twitter, he tried to turn Paypal into X.com. His aerospace company is called Space X. It's embarrassing.

And as an autistic person it's frankly offensive to go "well yeah, that's just what autistic people are like right? Thank goodness most of them don't have the money to do this - or else they would, how cringe".

one time when I was a barista I was telling my coworker that I suddenly really missed cows. I used to work with cows all the time back home and then I moved away and suddenly it had been four years and nary a cow.

15 minutes later this old guy came up to the counter with his address written on a napkin & he said “me and my wife have a whole herd of dexters and a couple of new calves. come on over any time”

so after work I was like ok fuck it & I drove to the address and I parked at at the gate & I walked down the driveway to the barn and this woman was like “oh my husband told me you might stop by! come see our cows” and she introduced me to every single cow. made my whole week.

thank you cow couple

"falin isn't fat in canon (so stop unduly giving this series credit for fat representation in her case)": a very fair point! it *is* honestly a bit concerning that people are so conditioned by media to think stick-thin is the norm that they think medium-sized bodies are fat. and i've seen some very good points about how almost every character we see that has a heavier build is just like that because their race is naturally more stocky, and that almost no characters in this story are "overweight" by their race's standards. so while this story is much better than a lot of others with its body diversity, there are still some things that it could do better.

"falin isn't fat in canon (so stop drawing her fat)": your ignorance astounds me and your foolishness knows no bounds. i could fill libraries with the things you don't know on this subject. every time you bitch about this i give her another roll.
