I finally got around to making use of the beautiful lilac bush in my backyard, so here’s the recipe I came up with to make her!
Ingredients needed:
Four cups of lilac petals
Two cups water
Two cups sugar
Teaspoon of vanilla
Combine sugar, vanilla, and water in a pan on high, stir until dissolved.
Once dissolved, add in your lilac petals (make sure they’re separated from the stems!!!! It’ll get bitter if not). Bring to a boil and then let simmer on low for five minutes.
Then, combine in a jar and store for three hours - the taste should be floral and heavy.
Use in tea, lemonade, or whatever else you’d like to try it in!
Blessings to you all. 🌸✨🌱💫🧚🏻
not my favorite but this one makes me laugh
I have a request for House MD tumblr and RSL tumblr.
I’m having probably the worst day in a long time. Do you mine reblogging this with your favorite picture of Robert sean leonard or favorite picture from House?
I just need something to make me smile a little right now. i’ll even add some of my favs
“Erin chuckled. It was sweet with a bitter aftertaste”
“The sun lowered beneath the sea, leaving them in darkness. Their home.”
“Kaz Brekker didn’t apologize. It wasn’t in his nature”
“Part of him wanted to hold her too, and part of him wanted to strangle himself for thinking that”
“He’d sell his own heart to have her by his side again”
“Of course. Everything came with a price tag.”
“Kaz never found stars that interesting, he preferred to focus on the things he could steal.”
“She could live with him hating her, but not without him, Saints she couldn’t live without him.”
“It worked, for the first time in her life she couldn’t feel the dark and forbidding draw of her shadows. She hated it.”
“This was Kaz’s entire life. And he was her life. Jesper grimaced at the thought.”
“Erin laughed at that, like she always laughed at his remarks. The laugh that made his head spin and his heart leap.”
“He hated this city. But he loved her.”
“He tasted of metal and blood and sugar, she would have gladly drowned in it.”
gays, lend me your strength
The types of teas and their general benefits they offer to our bodies!
I prefer herbal teas and green/white teas. Growing up as a child, I was always exposed to black tea with milk. It was my favorite, and was soothing. Even though caffeinated, I never felt it and I'd drop asleep with the milk and honey mixed in.
Ever wonder why your mom’s chocolate chip cookies tasted so good? I always did that’s for sure.
My grubby toddler hands would snatch one from the kitchen and cram it into my mouth, melted chocolate dripping from my chin. Turns out Magick can explain it.
Witchy Tip: Place a piece of rose quartz charged with positive energy near the food to make the food taste better
¾ cup Crisco Butter flavored shortening
Stick with me here, Crisco makes your cookie more airy and soft.
1 cup dark brown sugar
Sweetness, Comfort, Love
¼ cup white sugar
For romance and love
2 cups All-Purpose Flour
For Consistency
2 tablespoons milk (any milk will do)
For love and nurturing
¾ teaspoon baking soda
To banish negative energy
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
For love, lust and luck
1 egg
For finding true love
1 teaspoon of sea salt
To Banish Negative energy
½ cup chopped pecans
Wealth, Prosperity
Chocolate Chips and Chopped Chocolate bar (I use Hershey) No measurement, because you measure that shit with your heart.
For comfort
Start by heating your oven to 375ºF.
Now in a kitchen aid on medium speed, beat your shortening, sugar, milk, and vanilla until very light and airy. About the duration of 2 plays of the song Put Your Head On My Shoulder by Paul Anka
Beat in egg. Now in a separate bowl combine flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix into shortening mixture until just blended.
Now with your chocolate chips pour in until your heat says stop. If you wanna add the whole bag then you add the whole damn bag.
With a cookie scoop, scoop them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes.
Now I know there is no such thing as a perfect chocolate chip cookie, but these cookies are definitely hella addictive. In fact, is that your third cookie?
I love you all! My DMs, mail, and comments are always open!
xoxo, Angel.

Erin felt her blood pumping through her body as she tried to jog to the schooner. Her head was fuzzy, and all she could see was them. Her lungs filled with air she couldn’t breathe and she clutched her chest. Gunshots and cries rang out around her but she couldn’t hear them. Get to the ship, she thought. If you don’t get to the ship they're dead.
From on the roof, Jesper spotted her stunning towards the dock, and moved to pick off anyone that tried to attack her.
“There!” Jesper yelled, hoping someone would go help the Shadow. Wylan was the only one who heard him, and looked to see Erin getting closer. Sweat covered her face and it looked like she’d been crying. Erin clumsily pushed past Rotty, who was helping Wylan keep the shooters back.
She staggered over the ship, grabbing the ropes that kept them from floating off.
Untie the ropes, lift the anchor, fly the sails. She repeated it in her head like a mantra. Rope, Anchor, Sails.
She hadn’t touched a ship since… well since she came to Ketterdam. Her heart was pounding faster than Jesper could shoot, and she felt her stomach rise. Erin froze as she tried to lift the anchor, her hands touching the cold water.
I’m drowning. Where is the surface? I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe—
“I got it”
Rotty pulled the anchor up for her. His voice broke Erin out of her trance for the moment. She looked around, realizing everyone was on board and they had left the harbor. Matthias was the only one on deck, throwing up over the side.
Erin sank down to the floor of the ship, shutting her eyes. This is not the Cardea. This is not the Cardea. You will not drown, you will not drown. It took everything she had to stand back up, placing her feet on the railing and hoisting herself up the rope rungs to reach the sails. She gagged as she looked down. Even from his place on the deck, Rotty could tell she was trembling. He disappears below deck, looking for something.
The Shadow pulled the sails down and out, the boat picking up speed. It gave her a rush, and for a moment she enjoyed the wind in her face. Then she vomited.
“Watch it!”
Kaz looked up from the deck, scowling. He looked like shit. Blood splattered on his face and clothes, his usual sheened back hair in his eyes. Erin didn’t respond, shimming down the rope and placing her feet on solid ground.
“I thought you were a sailor.” He grumbled, stepping around the liquid on the deck. He gripped the railing, obviously queasy himself.
Erin held onto the rope
“I said I had been sailing. There’s a difference.”
Now that she was close enough to the edge, she saw her reflection in the water. It flickered between the mess she was now, and the scared girl she was. She felt sick again and covered her mouth, shaking. Kaz glanced at her.
“You need to be faster. If you had been gone any longer we’d have been screwed” he said coldly. Underneath his demeanor, she could’ve sworn there was concern in his eyes.
“Wouldn’t have to worry about it if you hired a damn crew” Erin grimaced as water splashed her.
“I didn’t think I needed one. Clearly I was wrong. You can barely stand without getting sick.” He scoffs
Erin glares at him, sweat dripping from her chin. If he noticed, he wasn’t letting on. She roughly pushed past him and up to the wheel, trying to think about anything other than the unforgiving water. Kaz was upset about something and followed her.
“Do you understand me? If you falter we all die.” He raises his voice slightly. Erin flinches, for the first time since they’ve known each other. That, he notices.
“Erin.” His voice is taught.
“I’m perfectly aware of the situation.” She responds.
“Then act like it”
Erin clutches the wheel tighter. She’s angry. She’s not sure why, maybe Kaz’s attitude had been too much. He didn’t seem to care about how she felt, of being on the sea made her feel. Erin’s face falls into a dark glare.
“You’re tardiness almost got us all killed and if you get sick while piloting the ship-“
“I know!” Erin yelled. She whipped her body to face him. Kaz merely raised an eyebrow, expecting her to continue. She wasn’t sure where she was going with this, her breathing was labored.
“Why are you acting like this is my fault. You didn’t have to be first mate”
That pissed her off. “First mate?? I am the only mate. I am the only person on the godforsaken ship that knows how to sail, or navigate, or anything that will get us to Fjerda.”
Kaz’s face remained unemotional. He glanced up seeing Jesper come up from the cabin. The sharpshooter looked at Erin and his eyes widened in concern
“Erin? Erin are you ok? Saints Kaz, what did you say to her” Jesper glared at his friend. Kaz shifted his weight.
“Reminding my Shadow that we’ll be fish food if she’s late again.”
Jesper puts his arms around Erin, who was clearly not hearing their conversation. He felt her shaking, and bet that Nina could hear her heart beat, even from below deck.
“She’s having a panic attack Kaz”
Jesper leaned down and looked at Erin. He tried to run the dried blood from her face.
“I’m fine” was all she could say. From behind her, Kaz clenched his jaw. He wasn’t quite sure how to feel. Upset he didn’t notice or upset she could be affected so easily. It’s not like he had a place to speak, it took most of his strength to not go running to the rail and throw his breakfast up.
“You are not fine. What happened at the harbor? You looked like you’d been running,” Jesper asked. Erin’s breathing calmed slightly and she was able to speak again.
“There were too many of them- I led five, no six of them down an alley. There wasn’t an exit.”
“And then?”
Jesper thought of Erin as a capable girl. Her shadows were not something to be on the wrong end of, but six men? He wasn’t sure how she made it out alive.
“And then I…. Then I-“
“Spit it out” Kaz said from his place at the wheel. He was growing impatient with her stuttering
“I cut them.”
Kaz looked over at her. The Cut. He’d never seen her do it, but from description of those that survived attacks from the Darkling, an infamous shadow summoner, he was sure he didn’t want to. He glanced at Jesper and the two of them made eye contact. There was a reason he’d never seen her do it, much like how he’s never taken his gloves off.
He stood unwavering in his place, watching Jesper comfort her. Part of him wanted to hold her too, and part of him wanted to strangle himself for thinking that. Kaz turned on his heels and departed to the cabin, needing to clear his head.
hello! it’s rather warm where i am right now but i really love tea and milk teas, so i made this up last night!
1 cup of water
2 cups of sugar
2 tablespoons of lavender (maybe try other flowers!)
put the lavender buds and water into a small saucepan and have it reach a boil! once it does, add the sugar and reduce heat so that it simmers (probably medium low). have it simmer for about fifteen minutes. once that time has past set it aside to cool!
brew a tea you prefer! i did earl grey, but chamomile would work too!! i’d do two tea bags since you’ll be adding ice and milk. once it is at a strength you find appropriate take out the bags and let it cool!
fill glass about a third full of ice, then add tea, maybe three spoonfuls of the syrup, and milk!
add a little vanilla extract if you have it!
for all you witchy folks too, lavender is known for symbolizing love, so share it with someone you love to welcome in the warm weather!! also feel free to add the extra lavender syrup to other drinks too, it’s very tasty!
So, the other day in math we had a sub and the sub was next year’s math teacher. Anyway the really annoying kids were messing around and while the teacher was explaining stuff on the white board one kid shouted out “DO YOU PLAY FORTNITE?”. And my teach stopped talking , turned around, looked the kid straight in the eyes , and said, “Yes”. We all died.
