chocolatepotOkay, so: you cannot save boba overnight. The internet said they would last in simple syrup for 2-3 days, but I made some last night and by lunchtime today they were nasty hard little things.
I am liking Bloodline more and more. When I originally heard the plot described, Danny was described as "the black sheep of the family" and I wasn't into that - what it usually means is, this character was raised just like their siblings but always had different priorities from the siblings and parents (eg fun vs. prestige) and the others couldn't deal, and I find that really difficult to relate to. But! In this case, the black sheep became the black sheep after dealing with being accidentally involved with his sister's death and then an extremely traumatic paternal beating, which his siblings were induced to lie to the police about. Which pushed him into being a screw-up, which pushed the family farther away from him. This really works for me, along with his attempts to integrate back into the family and the way they hold him at arm's length. And the way his eyes always look sadly hopeful. And how when other people start beating on him for various reasons, he never fights back.
What can I say, I just love my darlings to be tortured.
Saw so many bunnies walking in the twilight to look for pokemons! Hopping around everywhere.
