Happy Secret Satan, everyone! I animated a little something for @aitze of her character Brandy- I hope you like it! ❤

The story of the merriment that Brandy brings to the lives around her is so incredibly lovely! She seems like such a burst of joy that I wanted to do her lively, wonderful presence justice and bring her to life on screen for a brief moment!

I'm reading Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk and I just had to draw Brandy Alexander and some of her outfits. This is what she wears in chapter 2, 3 and 10

"... one evening, when I thought [Summer and Smoke] completed, I read it aloud to a young man who was friendly to me. He kept yawning as I read and so I read badly and when I finished, he made this devastating remark: "How could the author of The Glass Menagerie write such a bad play as this?"

I was crushed for a few days, but then I took up where I'd left off with Streetcar, which I was then calling The Poker Night. I wrote furiously on it. For despite the fact that I thought I was dying, or maybe because of it, I had a great passion for work. I would work from early morning until early afternoon, and then, spent from the rigors of creation, I would go around the corner to a bar called Victor's and revive myself with a marvelous drink called a Brandy Alexander, which was a specialty of the bar. I would always play the Ink Spots' rendition of "If I Didn't Care" on the jukebox while I drank the Alexander. Then I'd eat a sandwich and then I'd go to the Athletics Club on North Rampart Street. It had a pool that was fed by an underground spring of artesian water and it was cool from the underground and it would pick me up." - Tennessee Williams, Memoirs, pp. 109-110

Brandy Alexander! Bard, poet, author, actress, painter, dancer, warlock, paladin, aspiring deicide. Level 9 Vengeance Paladin, level 3 Hexblade warlock, Level 3 Lore Bard.

Brandy is an eladrin aasimar of Safia, the Sanguine Spark, a demigod of the sun and of joy. She is 389 years old and has spent most of that travelling, holding concerts, making songs and stories and childrens books and plays and everything under the sun, seducing women, and as of a few years ago, trying to kill the god of love.

Brandy is like if your party's paladin was Beyonce.

Brandy doesn't know her eladrin parents, and has never been to the feywild; she grew up in Sunbeam, the city that sprung up around the temple to Safia. She was raised by its citizens, and eventually became an aasimar. She is one of Safia's closest friends and confidantes, enough so to eventually be told the real story of how she became a (demi)god: Safia was once the girlfriend of Selen, goddess of the moon and of love. Selen gave Safia godhood, so that they could always be together - but has not asked whether this was something Safia wanted, had not even thought to ask for permission, leaving the formerly mortal woman with an eternity of a duty she had not asked for.

Brandy vowed to take revenge, and has been trying to kill Selen ever since.

HAPPY BRANDY ALEXANDER DAY!!! Today we celebrate the Brandy Alexander, an alcoholic drink made with crème de cacao, cream, and brandy, most often of the cognac variety. The drink can also simply be called an "Alexander," although an Alexander is also the name given to a gin-based cocktail that predates the Brandy Alexander. Brandy Alexanders are often imbibed as after-dinner drinks.

The original tweet - unless it’s trollish or posted on A Certain Date - seems to be a biology fail from the same mindset that thinks shearing sheep hurts them (such people have apparently never had a haircut).

As for the next tweet, this 2020 ad from Calon Wen Dairy in Wales isn’t yogurt...

...but it did appear on April 1st.  :->

There’s a cocktail called Bull’s Milk...

...which since it’s just booze mixed with milk and / or cream seems no more than a version of cocktails like White Russian...

...Alexander...

...or Milk Punch.

They probably all taste pretty similar.

Unlike the Bullshot, which is Bloody Mary’s carnivore cousin using beef consomme instead of tomato juice and doesn’t taste the same as a BM at all.

It’s traditionally served hot from a flask during a walk in the winter countryside, but if the consomme / broth is a good one, I suspect it would be pretty tasty on the rocks - with a rasher of nice crispy bacon replacing the celery stick because if going carnivore, why not go the whole, er, hog.

BS may well derive from an old country-house dining trick of adding a slug of sherry to the soup; country houses could be chilly, and every little helped. BS uses vodka, which would probably help a lot, and pepper vodka would help even more.

(Hmm. Makes note - though the homemade and rather overdone habanero-infused vodka in our freezer is less of a drink, more of a biohazard...)
