YOU GUYS NEARLY 11,000 OF YOU PUT UP WITH ME ON A DAILY BASIS. You guys listen to more of my crap than my own boyfriend generally does. That deserves rewarding. So this is an extra SPECIAL tea give away, and there will be THREE winners. Oh my god. Want a chance to become one of those lucky three people? Read on and follow directions.
THE PRIZES:
- First Place Prize: A set of all seven Sherlock Shipper tea blends [Sherlock/Moriarty, Sherlock/Irene, Moriarty/Moran, Mycroft/Lestrade, Lestrade/John, Lestrade/Molly, Molly/Moriarty]
- Second Place Prize: A set of all four* Avengers Teas [Thor, Loki, Steve Rogers, and Coulson *and possibly also Tony Stark if I make a tea for him soon]
- Third Place Prize: A set of all three Doctor Who Teas [The TARDIS, Amy Pond, and Rory]
- IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE PRIZE PACKS: Each winner will get ONE blend specially created for them. It can be a character or ship or show or book or whatever that I haven’t done that they’d like me to do. It can even be a blend made based on THEM. Whatever the winners would like. They each get to request one, and they will receive it with their other teas.
I MIGHT ADD TO THESE PRIZES. If this gets reblogged like, a lot, or something, I might lose my head and also send the winners mugs to go with their tea. Or a book. WE’LL SEE.
THE RULES:
- Anyone ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD can enter EXCEPT AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND!! I am SUPER sorry for my followers down under because not only do you have to put up with terrifying wild life, you can’t even allow tea to be imported to help comfort you. Sorry, there’s like, crazy laws and stuff.
- You do not have to be following me to win, but it might be helpful to keep track of updates or changes (if any). Plus I plan to make some blends for other fandoms in the future, so if tea is your thing, it might not be a bad idea?
- Only two reblogs a day allowed.I did not realize how often people would reblog my last big give away soooo I’m going to enforce this LOL. You can reblog on as many days as you’d like, but yeah, only 2 reblogs a day please. I’ll be checking.
- LIKES DON’T COUNT. Sorry! You have to reblog!
- The give away will end and I will choose the winners on FRIDAY JUNE 1ST. I’ll probably do the drawing late at night on that day, so I’m going to say I’ll stop counting reblogs at 10 p.m. EST. Winners may not be announced until the next day or so, just to be aware!
- Here’s how the winners will be selected: Just like all of my other give aways, I’ll compile a spreadsheet or numbered list of all of the reblogs, and I’ll use the number generator on random.org to chose a number and find the corresponding username on the list. The first number I draw will win the first place prize (or, if they are more into Avengers or Doctor Who, they may chose one of the other prizes). Second number I draw will win the second place prize (or a choice between whatever two packs remain), and the third number drawn will receive the last prize!
[5/20 UPDATE] Dudes you guys are on a ROLL with this! I promised that if it hit 25k notes by the end of this weekend, I’d add another prize pack and, well, it happened. So now instead of three winners, FOUR people will win a prize. Same rules apply as before. The first place winner gets first choice of the prizes, then the second place winner, then so on. So what teas am I adding? CABIN PRESSURE!
The Lemon is in Play, Ottery Kisses, and Polar Bears are BRILLIANT!
And of course this prize pack will also come with a customized tea blend of the winners choice as well <33Thanks so much everyone! You guys seriously are just the best, and odds are, I may end up adding another prize pack at 35K or something if it actually gets to that o_o
[5/21 UPDATE] DANG GUYS. ANOTHER ADDITION ALREADY!
Not another prize pack, per se, BUT, I am possibly doubling the number of final winners. Basically, when I draw names for the prizes, the people that the winners reblogged the contest from will ALSO win the prize that the person drawn chooses. If the winner reblogged from me or themselves, they’ll still only get one prize. And I’m not going to win a prize in my own contest so….
Anyway, I guess this is a good reason to encourage your followers to reblog the contest from your blogs or something 8D;
[5/24] YOU GUYS ARE INSANE. SO. This has reached 35k. And I said earlier that if I created a Tony Stark blend, I’d add it to the Avengers Prize Pack. Well, I made Tony Stark, so he’s adding. But then I also made Bruce Banner, Clint Barton, and Natasha Romanoff as well. So I’m also going to add THOSE to the Avengers prize pack as well.
And hell, since I’m somehow about to hit 15k followers too (what are you guys even thinking, honestly), here’s another new prize pack so the number of potential winners is increasing:
Both of the Good Omens Teas! Aziraphale and Crowley! <3
Uh…. if this hits 50k I’ll think of something good.

I have his fan mail address and plan on sending him a letter along with a screenshot of this post to prove how truly brilliant we all think he is.
So please reblog if you think he is talented/intelligent/handsome/interesting/or anything else you can think of! (Feel free to add adjectives!)
Also, I would like to be able to send this at the beginning of June. Thank you all!
Leave me two or more actors and I will put my itunes on shuffle and come up with a graphic/poster and synopsis for a fake film (or, you know, a show or mini series or something) based on the song and starring the actors!
The Sleepy Geek: Contains feminism and also life stuff.
Somebody asked me out today.
It’s fine, actually, he’s a really smart, nice guy. If I were straight I’d say yes. The only problem I’m finding right now is my own anxiety and thought patterns.
I keep thinking stuff like ‘Did I lead him on?’ and ‘Do I look slutty?’ Worst of all, I thought at one…
“Even if you are gay, you can go out with a boy.”
Seriously, the fuck? This is so many levels of wrong. I mean, I know that you know this and don’t need my preaching, but it’s probably more courteous to say no to someone you just don’t like that way rather than to lead them on further. “Sorry, I’m not attracted to men” is the best answer you could have given, because it’s the truth. It’s absolutely good enough and if someone disagrees on that, it’s their problem, not yours. Same thing with your clothes; as far as I’ve known you, you’ve always been very honest and upfront. I’m sure it’s not anything you said or did to lead him on in any particular way, and you shouldn’t feel bad (I know, easier said than done). This kind of thing happens all of the time; my family friend actually met one of her best friends this way. Don’t let this boy- or anybody else, for that matter- throw you into that sort of self-doubting mindset. I know it’s easier said than done but you’re honestly one of the strongest, most interesting people I know and you don’t deserve people making you feel that way.
Jordi, darling, you are wonderful and I just want to hug the shit out of you right now.
Thank you.
u-ok:
GOOOOOOOOOOOD
oh my god is this what I think it is
OFMG is this facebook and tumblr cosplay
fucking hell
Isn’t this Creamsicle? Like I’m pretty sure this is Creamsicle
Is this Anime North? IS IT? IS THIS A THING I LEGITIMATELY MISSED?
Somebody asked me out today.
It’s fine, actually, he’s a really smart, nice guy. If I were straight I’d say yes. The only problem I’m finding right now is my own anxiety and thought patterns.
I keep thinking stuff like ‘Did I lead him on?’ and ‘Do I look slutty?’ Worst of all, I thought at one point ‘Maybe I should have gone out with him, anyway.’ That sentiment was repeated back to me by an acquaintance who heard me telling a friend. ‘Why did you say no? Even if you are gay, you can go out with a boy.’
Then, of course, are the fears. Will he keep pursuing me? Does he think I’m a bitch? Will this be a problem for me, socially?
Why are these things I have to worry about? Why am I feeling like ‘Sorry, I’m not attracted to men’ isn’t good enough? Why do other feel like it isn’t good enough? Hell, if I was straight, ‘No, thanks’ should always be good enough!
I thought I looked amazing this morning, so I thought about clothes and what looks good on me. Tomorrow, I’ll be looking frumpy, because I don’t want to seem like I’m looking for male attention. I could say to myself ‘no’, but I know that’s what I’ll do.
This is so wrong. I thought I’d purged that kind of conditioning from my head, but no; women are just an object and goal for men, and are responsible for men’s actions towards them. Fuck this noise.

When to Michael’s yesterday, bought me some scrapbooking shit, my keeping of every bill, ticket, and photograph is now okay.
The fact that the BBC has to have a contact line after the showing of Recovery I just..
‘If any of you have been affected by the issues in tonight’s broadcast and would like to talk to someone in confidence, call….’
Recovery is the most soul-crushing thing I have ever watched.
I just read the wikipedia page.
On one hand, wanna see good drama with some good actors. On the other… sounds a lot like how my dad died, and triggers are just so fun, right?
Reblog with what your blog would be like if you only posted about what was in your url
Fruit-related science?
stuff about one specific Greek myth?
a prodigal of pop culture
fish eggs and tobacco.
Things women like.
Astronauts from the superorder selachimorpha.
Photos of Maxil shooped so that he’s wearing skirts and sailor collars.
Gdi why is that not what my blog is.
Elves and Elvish culture, I guess. All in Quenya.
Fun sleep science?
