That said, these tags were what I needed to hear:

we're all gonna make it

Winter Night Glow

You think? Let’s test that then!

First, you gotta get a cool cup. I got this one from a thrift store for a very affordable price. But if you can’t find one, a standard clear cup or jar should suffice

Now, you don’t need a decal, but I recommend it because they’re cool. I just got some sticker vinyl, traced and cut out the Wii logo and some stars

Now for the drink!!

Start by making or buying jelly. If you make it, you should do so a few hours before you intend to make the drinks, as it will need time to set. You can find jelly at most any grocery store.

Get your cup and add ice and jelly. You should cut the jelly into small pieces or use cookie cutters to make fun shapes. I recommend you don’t add quite all of the jelly, as you’ll need some for the top later

Next, add your flavoring syrup of choice, I recommend blue raspberry or melon. You should be able to find them at any restaurant supply store

Then, add carbonated water. Flavored sparkling waters also work fine, as they don’t taste like much. You should be able to find some at any store that sells drinks.

Next add Calpico, this is technically optional, but it tastes way better with it, so it’d highly recommend it. You can get it at practically any Asian market, or normal market if you live in Asia

Now, add some ice cream, or something of the sort, I use vanilla.

After that, you can top it with some whipped cream, jelly shapes, cherries, really anything!!

I would also recommend using a straw to drink it, because you will need to mix it up a bit. but you can’t really mix it before hand, because it will ruin the cool gradient affect

ok awesome

so i have finished a psychological thriller novel, and have begun the process of doing research so i can prepare to query agents. now, my novel has some pretty intense triggers in it, so i am aware it’s a bit of a hard sell– that being said, many agents have a “do not send me your novel if it has these things” list, so that’s what I’m looking for so i don’t accidentally trigger someone.

so i’m going down this list, and i find this agent. their “do not send me” list includes the following: non-consent/sexual violence, age gaps, teacher/student relationships, stalkers, cheating, everyone dies at the end, miscarriage/pregnancy, and abuse masked as love.

okay, cool! everyone has different tolerances for stuff, and it’s perfectly reasonable to not want to be involved with a story that has stuff you’re uncomfortable with. not the agent for me, but good on them for defining their boundaries.

but then i scroll back up and they’re requesting for gothic horror.

excuse me?????????

gothic horror without pregnancy or miscarriage? gothic horror without cheating? without stalking? gothic horror without major character deaths? GOTHIC HORROR WITHOUT ABUSE BEING FRAMED AS LOVE AND THE INTERROGATION OF THAT DYNAMIC?????

HEY CAN I GET A GOTHIC HORROR WITH NOTHING???
