So may I present my own casting choice for Odysseus:

Absolutely not

You know who would try that shit?

Is this the face of a man who would defy the very gods to get home to his wife?

You know who would defy the gods just to show he could get away with it?

If Smoke and Stack weren't related and Mary and Annie were in a relationship then things would be so much different.

But there are so little black queer fantasy movies or shows that no one blinks an eye.

Where are the black gay vampire hunters? The enemies to lover black lesbian werewolf story?

1. Supernatual!!! All a million seasons of supernatural where ppl made the brothers fuck!! Before we had the goddamn AO3 even! (Also incidentally The Boondock Saints' PRIMARY pairing is the twins!!)

2. They're twins, in fiction incest between twins almost doesn't count, it's like fucking your clone. (See parathetical above.)

OP: How to Make Qingshui Zongzi. (cr佳佳妹)

Qingshui zongzi清水粽, literally Plain Water Zongzi, is the simplest traditional zongzi. It only uses glutinous rice and bamboo leaves as raw materials, without any sweet or savory fillings like red beans pastes, smoke pork or red jujube. After boiling, people usually dip the soft sticky rice zongzi in white sugar or honey before eating. It highlights the natural fresh fragrance of bamboo leaves and the mild sweet taste of glutinous rice. This plain version is especially popular in southern China like Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Sichuan and Chongqing. Guangdong doesn’t have plain water zongzi; they only make jianshui/lye water zongzi碱水粽. Neither has extra fillings, but they are two distinct varieties with totally different flavors.

Authentic plain water zongzi are made narrower and smaller at the tip than regular zongzi. They have a perfectly mild, easy-to-enjoy taste and are steamed until extra tender, making them gentler on the stomach.
