The lichen is in your walls

@madgrad

Tumblr decided to shadowban my other account and I'm sad I can't reply anywhere, so here's hoping this one survives. Currently exists as my personal blog for sillies, shenanigans, and interacting with the ESC.

Pinned

I forgot to make an intro post before so uh…here.

Hi, I’m the same weirdo behind @themadbiologist, though Tumblr has disappeared that blog for no reason I can tell. I’m chill with any pronouns except it/its.

I like The Magnus Archives, gothic literature, biology, textile art (crocheting, embroidery, etc)…other stuff.

A few kind people send me poetry! I tag all their poems with #poetry anon!, #the cabin in the woods, or #wormetry.

The languages I speak, in alphabetical order: not enough Cantonese to talk about anything terribly exciting but more than enough to make bad jokes; I can read a bit of French but I will only answer in English, lest I subject you to the horror that is my grammar; English (allegedly), (Taiwanese) Mandarin decently well (I can’t read simplified though, because Taiwanese school), and I’m learning Swedish!

Asks and messages eternally open, come chitchat :) I only bite one person on this hellsite!

The taste of hazelnuts lingers in my mouth, despite having eaten exactly 0 hazelnuts today. Kind of tempted to go out and have food, but the one (1) item I want is not filling, criminally expensive, and not terribly good for me. Alas.

treat? or is it not a treat sort of day

I have not had lunch (it is 14:37) so probably not a great idea. It’s ok, I’ll be home in a few hours lol

do you know how to use a semicolon?

yes and i use them frequently

yes but i don’t use them frequently

no but i use them frequently

no and i don’t use them frequently

kinda and i use them frequently

kinda but i don’t use them frequently

my colons are bald

semicolons are genuinely so useful; theyre like a better comma :3

period-comma!

Regency period… specifically

i know how to use them in the sense that I don't know how to use them, but I can, and it seems to work. I think.

That’s how I feel about all of English lol

(semicolons connect two independent but closely related clauses (two simple sentences) — ex. it is raining today; I must remember my umbrella. They are also used to connect lists — ex. apples, carrots, broccoli; dishwashing tablets, glass cloths, sponges; printer paper, pens, erasers. Each independent list has items separated by commas, but they all belong to a larger list of household items, so they can be separated by semicolons :D)

okay i now understand why i do not use them this was very helpful /gen

Doing research on hallucinogens for potential candidates for Fear Toxin when I was reminded that nutmeg has hallucinogenic effects in high doses.

So, I'm just imagining Jonathan Crane looking for new ways to synthesise a stronger and more refined toxin, discovering this fact about nutmeg, then thinking to himself, "Well, I can't just not make a Fear Toxin out of nutmeg for a Christmas crime spree."

It’s also toxic at as little as 2 teaspoons if I remember correctly, though I don’t know that there have been nutmeg fatalities.

My little sibling just said i was more terrifying than funny. I have never been so proud of myself

Did they look at your tea and run? Because I would

I’m in your walls

Oh YEAH???? Well I’m in your uh um uh scotland

Nice one, secret fourth blog

I really got them didn’t I

Yep! That’ll show them >:)

Worm, your days of tea crimes are numbered

*loud incorrect buzzer* i will live forever, feeding on the despair of everyone who hates me as i make more and more fucked up combos

You’re feeding on my despair.

if you ever come near my tea with sugar I will banish you from the tea cabinet forever

it smells like somebody is in the trying to find the maximum amount of sugar soluble in a cup of black tea

I can literally taste it

blech…too much sugar

Oh delicious

I find about five heaped teaspoons does the trick

No.

No.

Ew.

eughhj my teeth feel sticky and crunchy from proximity

*evil laughter*

Alternative: 3 heaping tablespoons of honey. Keep going until the tea changes colour.

Oooh. Does this work for black tea or do you use other tea?

I might do this to my next cup

I.

*crying in drinks tea black*

How do you even taste anything?????

How does the tea crime council feel about 1-3 tablespoons hot cocoa powder?

Strongly against, here. The hot chocolate powder rarely dissolves as it should, leaving a lumpy powder layer atop the drink and a lumpy slurry in the bottom of the cup

Doesn’t even taste that chocolatey

Personally I recommend dissolving chocolate flakes into milk and then adding this to tea but i haven’t tried it

From my prior experiments, hot cocoa powder < manually made chocolate milk < industrially made chocolate milk.

Update: chocolate protein shake < hot cocoa powder < manually made chocolate milk < industrially made chocolate milk

Sigh what on earth

Update on the update: chocolate protein shake < piece of a chocolate bar < hot cocoa powder < manually made chocolate milk < industrially made chocolate milk < mint-chocolate ice cream < chocolate ice cream with pieces (brownies/nuts/whatever) in it < chocolate ice cream with no pieces

Unknowns: Drinkable chocolate yogurt, non-drinkable chocolate yogurt

...Yall are gonna either HATE or LOVE how southern sweet tea is made

But that’s cold tea (right? I’m Canadian and follow a mishmash of Chinese and Hong Kong tea customs) which has different rules

It is. but still. I used to work in a comfort food restaurant. and it was like 5 cups of sugar for 5 gallons of tea. half a pitcher's worth of sugar. It was tea flavored sugar water

…okay…..hm…

That’s too much for me personally but it’s not the same kind of crime, much like how I expect bubble tea to be obscenely sweet. Cold tea gets its own set of ruled
