#ginger beer

Let’s not forget the real protagonists of this story

When you they sent you into space, did they tell you it would hurt?

Did they tell you that the stress would kill you within minutes?

That your poor little heart would give out from beating so fast, that your veins would fill with adrenaline-black blood, your eyes blown wide as planets with fear?

It’s so bright up there, Laika, girl.

Street dog, barker, little curly

You fell back to earth after a day, and the men who killed you insisted you were still alive

I believe you still are, somewhere

And I look down at my own pup- street dog, scared and angry just like you- and her moon eyes are so, so bright

Patron saint of one-way trips, you are, my dear, incredible

My girl only came to me because of you

And you, precious, precious baby, only went to the stars because of us

My patron saint of one way trips.

Ilya is drinking ginger ale

Update:

Ilya is not drinking ginger ale after all. I am told it is beer.

Schweppes is also garbage. Fever Tree is better. Fentimans pink ginger is the best I've tried so far. (yes I did only buy it because it was pink and looked pretty.)

👀

I tried ginger beer/ales too.

But I focused on the most fancy ones 🤣(Fever Tree aside. They're for my very much appreciated gin tonics)

The first one is organic and very gingery. I doubt you can find it outside of France. The second one if from Australia, apparently, and is very cool!

And here's an extract from that Quinn interview during which Hudson tries to recognize ginger ales from taste 🤣

A quick sketch inspired by my Twitter mutual’s post
