Seemed like a wizard-mech was a good candidate for some iteration on the arm-cloak idea from one of my mechatober mechs.
The colours are also a vague reference, as I was thinking about something in particular when I was choosing the scheme.

JESUS TEA
So it’s Flu Season again, and this recipe for Tea To Fix What Ails You was given to me by a Christian friend, and I’ve taken to calling it JESUS TEA due to it’s miraculous properties. Even though it, technically, contains no tea. This tea is as caffinie-free as anything processed in a US plant can get, but be sure to check the provenance and all ingredients in case of allergies.
You will Need:
- A Bigass Pot, becuase this is something you make in large quantities
- working stovetop
- those lil cloth sachets you use for wassail/empty teabags/those lil reuseable loose-leaf tea steepers.
Recipe:
- about a quart of water
- 1 cup apple cider
- about half a lemon’s worth of juice
- a shitwhack of honey- try to get as local as possible and generally the less-processed the better if you want to build a resistance to local allergens. If you have allergy concerns or don’t like the taste of honey, go ahead and use more processed stuff/another sweetener instead.
- three tablespoons/three bags chamomile tea
- three tablespoons/three bags rooibos tea
- teaspoon crushed cloves
- 1 cinnamon stick (more if you like it spicier)
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp cayenne or white pepper
Bring water to a simmer in the pot. Add the chamomile, rooibos and spices to steep about 4-5 minutes or longer if you like tea-flavored tar which given you have the flu you probably do. Add Cider, Lemon Juice and Honey until dissolved. Drink all of this in the course of an hour to stay hydrated, make more pots as needed or until you pass out.
FOR MAXIMUM EFFECTIVENESS: gargle warm salt water first for as long as you can, it’ll break up the mucus in your throat and soothe the soreness.
This stuff is hecking delicious, and my dad claims it cured his cold. I’ve taken to drinking it just because it tastes good! Thank you for sharing! :D I also found that you can freeze this stuff in convenient single serving sizes, ready to be heated in the microwave when you don’t have enough spoons to make it fresh. Granted fresh is usually best for most food and drinks, but it’s still good.
I also calculated a single serving version, which I’m putting here in case anyone wants to make it that way:
- 1 cup hot water
- ¼ cup apple cider (or more, I prefer 1/3 cup)
- 1 tbsp honey (or more, to taste)
- a dash of lemon juice
- ½ tsp spice mixture
- 1 ½ tbsp tea mixture
Mix the spices together in one container, and mix the two kinds of tea together in another. Measure out of these the above amounts. (Don’t try to store the two things together, the spices will sink to the bottom and you won’t get the right measurements.)
Use a tea infuser/tea bag/cheesecloth/whatever to keep the herb bits from floating off into your drink. Steep for the usual 4-5 minutes, then add the cider, honey, and lemon.
Side note: ground cloves is cheaper for me so I use ½ tsp of that instead of 1 of whole. I also like cinnamon a lot so I use ¼ tsp ground cinnamon instead of a stick (also sticks are really expensive here). If you use a stick, break it into little pieces. The downside of ground cinnamon is that it kind of congeals if you don’t stir it periodically, so keep a spoon handy as you drink.
Since people have been asking for this (I guess the flu/common cold is going around agian), have it again, NOW WITH SINGLE SERVING SIZE, THANK YOU @snowfox102 for doing the math for me!

something in the way pre-cavendish arc diana lets akko get to her. the way she lets her brows furrow or clenches her fists around her - even for a split second, and then turns on her icy facade, like she’s convincing herself that she doesn’t care for akko. oh lord
The best thing is that Diana has nearly NO REACTION to anyone/anything else. She’s perfectly composed until Akko arrives.
Akko has the gift to make Diana actually human. She is not just the perfect heiress, she can just let go. But pre-cavendish arc, Diana doesnt let herself feel. Because people are waiting of her to keep her ice-Queen face.
But not Akko.
Because Akko had never cared about Diana Cavendish.
She only cares about Diana Cavendish.
And that is what Diana had always needed.
I think.

Mommy's going to take you out of the freezer and leave you in a room temperature environment, ok? Awww you're already dripping condensation... There's a puddle gathering at your base, my leaky little condensation slut.
can you put that on a coaster
No. I want her to see all her little circle stains on the table...
okay thats cute and all but this table was my grandmother's so i would really appreciate it if you could stop and actually consider other peoples belongings for 2 fucking seconds
But both Mommy and my little condensation slut gave our condensent so like I feel like I shouldn't have to ask for yours... I guess I could get like a new table or whatever but it's just not the same if it isn't mahogany.
okay red what the fuck do you mean "condesent"
