Hot Toddy part 2!! It's really cold today so I wanted to make another toddy but I don't think I can go for more of the first one I made. It's so boozey. So instead I made one following a recipe by Jamie Oliver.

Mine's a little different. I didn't have any star anise or cloves but I did have cinnamon sticks and nutmeg. I also used twists of lemon and orange. Otherwise I followed the recipe.

Not gonna lie mate it was bland at first. Then I added extra whiskey and GAGGED! But after brewing it in the teapot for a bit and adding a bit more honey it was quite nice. I love whiskey but the ones I own don't seem to work in toddys. The cinnamon and honey saved the day. Jamie said 3 minutes to brew. Nope. Waaaayyyy longer. Otherwise it's a waste of spices.

Maybe I'm just bad at toddys. But I'm not giving up just yet! Next challenge, The Manhattan!

Continuing on my quest to make sure the booze I bought doesn't go to waste (seriously alcohol in Australia is so expensive), today I made a Hot Toddy using a recipe by the YouTube channel How To Drink.

I like it. Not gonna lie the whiskey taste is strong but the bitters hit you at the end and leave a nice after taste. This is definitely for people who like whiskey. If you wanna make this use a whiskey you like. This is NOT a "let's use the cheap stuff cause you won't taste the alcohol" drink.

To pass the time in lockdown, l have decided to learn how to make cocktails/mocktails. Today I made Tsukasa's Grenadine and tonic from Dr Stone. It turned out really well! I made the grenadine myself, super easy btw and way cheaper. It tastes pretty good! Very refreshing and nice to look at.

PLEASE DO NOT DONATE TO ST VINCENT'S!!!!

They support anti LGBTQI+ lobby groups in Australia. Same with The Salvation Army. In the past they have refused to give the donations to non-Christian and LGBTQI people, most notably the Black Saturday bush fires in Victoria

PLEASE SUPPORT NON RELIGIOUS RELIEF ORGANISATIONS

since people are asking, here’s a list of places you can donate to help the australian bushfires. donating literally $1 means you have done more than our prime minister. (* = can donate internationally; for the other ones you might have to google it) 

cfa (VIC firefighters) 

rfs (NSW firefighters)*

rfbaq (QLD firefighters) 

cfs (SA firefighters) 

red cross*

WWF NSW bushfire crisis*

WWF koala crisis* (both WWF links are in aud so use a currency converter if you’re outside aus)

St Vincents NSW (partnership with channel 9)

St Vincents SA 

RSPCA NSW 

here is a list from the abc (but maybe don’t donate to the salvos bc they suck) (x)

i’ll keep it updated as i find more

Cat Logic…

This is actually how I met a dear friend of mine. I was on the train to class when some guy in a PRISON UNIFORM (in Australia the uniforms are green and look kinda like nurses scrubs) starts asking questions about me like where I'm going, which TAFE (basically trade school) I go to, what classes I take ect. He tells me he just got out of prison and he's getting out at the same station and I should get coffee with him.

At this point I'm afraid to move and my stop the still ten minutes away. Just as the guy is about to ask where I live, a girl walks and says to me "Hey! I thought you said you missed the train sillybilly. Lucy wants us to get off here and met her at the music store". So I follow her out and she grabs my hand and we run into the next train car. The guy tried to follow but didn't see us re-enter the train so he's left on the platform.

The girl turns around and says "Are you ok? That looked creepy and thought you might want help. I heard that you go to the TAFE as me so I'll walk you."

Ever since the girl, Heaven-leigh, and I have been close friends and always met up on the train to class to look out for each other.

Don't be afraid to help someone in this way. As someone who was saved by this method, I can tell you that the person you help will be so grateful that you were there.

It's not just girls being harassed by creepy guys that need this but anyone who is being harassed. Like a Muslim women being insulted for her religious beliefs, a teenage boy being bullied, an open member of the LGBTQI+ community and anyone else who is scared and cornered.

We are all human beings and no one should be afraid to go about their day. A simple conversation, even just a few words can help someone get out of at best an uncomfortable situation and at worst a life threatening situation.

Happy is easy when you know what to do. You got to love the world, try to be a friend. When someone asks just tell them again. - Austin Roberts "Love the world"

My D.Gray-Man Noah Theory

So this came into my head when was rewatching episode 79 "Noah's Memory". During the episode Road is reading from the Bible, specifically about the great flood/three days of darkness, which was stated in series that the Noah caused. The passage states that the Lord destroyed what They created after seeing the corruption man had bought and that only Noah and his kin had survived. Road then says that Noah's hatred had not weakened in 7000 years. All while Skinn (and Wrathra) are repeating that they will never forgive God or Innocence.

Now Road doesn't imply that the passage is incorrect and she is one of the only four Noah that are knowledgeable about the history of the Clan of Noah. The other three are Wisely and the Fourteenth (both of whom, at this point, are yet to awaken) and the Millennium Earl who standing next to Road in the scene. He encourages Skinn's hatred of God, to which Road seems to agree on. Which is surprising because she says in the rewinding town arc that the Noah are the true apostles of God. The Earl has also used the terms like "cruel" and "hateful" to describe God when convincing people to call to their loved ones and unknowingly create Akuma.

My theory is that the Noah were God's chosen people but were betrayed by Them by creating the Innocence and maybe the flood too.

The reason I came up with is that the Lord created Dark Matter for the Noah so they could carry out Their commands. After some time the Noah became too powerful and either they "corrupted" those around them or God saw them as a threat to Their control. So the Lord created Innocence to counteract the Dark Matter and sent the accommodators to fight the Noah. That battle could have caused the three days of darkness. A slightly crazier idea I had was that God could has sent the great flood when They saw that the accommodators were losing as a last resort to end the Noah but Mightra had already made the Arc. In volume 19, chapter 187 it's stayed that the first Millennium Earl died fighting against the wielder of the Heart of the Innocence but the other twelve Noah survived and repopulated the world.

That's why Wrathra will never forgive God, Innocence and the Exorcists. Because God betrayed the Noah. Because Innocence is Gods weapon. Because the Exorcists are Gods warriors.

This collaboration is my favourite so far! Chuuya looks so badass and fancy, Kouyou is an absolute queen and somehow Odasaku looks elegant while still keeping his scruffy charm

Reblog if you’re bisexual, support bisexual people or are actually a bunch of tiny velociraptors in a human suit

My response to Anime America's deals with the devil video

So all in all an excellent video as usual. But what I want to talk about is what was number 1: the deal with the Millennium Earl. I agree it is horrific. But it made me realise how sick the Innocence is. The risk the exorcists take in order to fight him and the Clan Of Noah is enormous. If an exocist refuses to fight and their synchronation rate drops they will become a Fallen One and destroy everything around you then will be disintegrated by the Innocence. Even the organisation behind the exorcists are sick. Before Komui became chief the Black Order was allowed to experiment on not just the exorcists and finders but also their families anytime they pleased. And don't forget the second and third exorcist programs. There is no such thing as a good deal in D.Gray-Man

Kanda and Alma Headcanon

Spoilers for D.Gray-Man Hallow and the manga

(Just a heads up, I will be using gender neutral pronouns and present tense for Alma)

So I was looking at a list of LGBTQ+ characters in media and in the anime and manga section they listed Kanda Yu and Alma Karma from D.Gray-man as both being bisexual.

The more thought about it, the more it felt not quite right.

The big thing that stood out was that Alma is never depicted as having any interest in females at all. Only Kanda who is male both now and in his previous life. That would make Alma straight in their past life and "gay" now. (Now granted they did call For pretty but I don't think that means they think For is attractive.) Another thing is my impression of Alma in their current form is not a cis gendered male. My reasoning is first that Alma uses the Japanese pronoun "Boku" which, in real life is used by young or more soft spoken men, in anime is often used by neutral characters and second is Alma calls their past self me. Quote from D.Gray-man chapter 198: "I'm sure you (Kanda) will search for me as long as you live. You might discover "that person" was me, one day." This shows that Alma sees themselves as both their past self and their present self, as one and the same. Finally a quote from an interview with creator Katsura Hoshino: "I created Alma with the premise “Alma = that person” in my mind. That’s why I wanted to make them look as non-feminine as possible"

As for Kanda he loves both past Alma and present Alma so bisexual could be the right word but I'm not so sure. I think that Kanda loves Alma no matter what and just sees Alma. Pansexual fits better in my opinion.

TLDR: I think Alma is non-binary and Kanda is Pansexual.

If you disagree, I would love to hear your opinion. Feel free to message me if you don't want to post your opinion
