Bergamot? Shaped like that? But bergamot is just another flower that tea can be flavoured with.

I am very confused.

The front-tied obi is very fitting. I love your take on this!

What kind of psychopath adds sugar to teabags by default?

This is heresy!

(The llama sugars are adorable, I want them all, just... Not in my tea bags)

Picasso and Mondrian's secret love child. I adore this!

Well, if this is your photo you definitely have talent for that! The photo itself is amazing!

You mean make sure they do eat each other? After all, only 2-3 are destined to make it to adulthood out of the hundreds that spawn. 💜

This is lovely! It reminds me of fairytale illustrations in many of thenolder books in my library.

It's whimsical without being silly. Elegant yet not pretentious.

I am getting genuinely bored of these.

We need context for this - because I am quite incredulous of the EU unanimously banning monility scooters when they can't even agree on major issues like border control, marriage rights and pricing standards.

And I'm an EU citizen and have seen people on mobility aides.

Yeah, the 'knees locked' bit really made me cringe.

I don't know who these people are that don't know you flex your knees when landing any jump on any surface, but I feel sorry for them.

Tl;dr wear helmets and flex your knees!

Interestingly, these pairs do not always reciprocate understanding.

Italians have some trouble learning Romanians, however Romanians find it much easier to learn Italian.

The first image that came to mind was Fix-It Felix from Wreck-It Ralph.

Are 5 year-olds even allowed to be chemists? Do you have an adult with you that can help you get the fancy acids off of the top shelf? Do you have a step ladder to help you worknunder the fume hood?

So many questions!

I get it tho. The umpteenth time someone comes to me and just spews the same drama I'm going to tell them to politely f off.

If you're jealous but refuse to do anything about it, there's only so much sympathy I can offer before I tell you to either DO something to change your situation or leave me alone.

There's a difference between being a good friend and being an emotional dumping ground for someone who produces/invites drama.

Love it! These are in Elden Ring as well,but the skull faces backwards (I think).

Summer is overrated by far.

The best times of year are September, October and May.

Summer is for hiding from the sun and trying to not get sweat-glued to your chair.

Hyacinths at Christmas? Might I ask whereabouts in the world you are? Here in Romania they're a decidedly spring thing.

We have a celebration here (and in Bulgaria, though I don't know their exact customs) on Mach 1st. Mărțișor. It's to celebrate the end of winter and women get gifted hyacynths, or snowdrops, alongside a two-strand silk thread of white and red. Winter and Life.

The feeling of warmth and togetherness gets me.

The aesthetic of trees, lights, holly, and snow is pure bliss.

I know another year is over and I have spring to look forward to.

BING MF CROSBY (and I grew up in Romania, was born at the end of communism) and his fantastic voice.

And more recently I've turned to celebrating in a more pagan way - by hosting dinners on the Solstice.

I just love Christmas, I can't wait to put up my tree! (Putting it up early isn't really a thing here, I might set it up around the 20th, for reference).

Your last sentence triggered a question: how low does a dose of something need to be for it to no longer be considered 'poisonous'.

Are there poisons that stop being poisonous on a molecular level?

And I'm considering 'actual' poisons such as arsenic, digitalis, etc. rather than overdoses of, say, opioids. (Me no science brain person, it's just a question)

I have no idea why you're being downvoted to hell amd back. I enjoy this series of paintings and I don't care if you're constantly promoting yourself. You're an artist, of course you promote yourself.

You definitely succeeded! It's just not for me and that's fine. Good job!

This really hurts my eyes.
