Japanese tea bag maker Ocean-Teabag has been making waves by creating little parcels of aroma in the shape of marine animals. Luckily for us, their wide range of tea bags are available at online Japanese novelty retailer Village Vanguard, maker of such fine products as Space Tea and cat-shaped kitchen utensils.

Ocean-Teabag’s earliest designs included beautiful dolphin tea bags filled with blue mallow tea leaves. Steeping them turns your otherwise normal pot of water into a tranquil ocean. Proving to be a hit among tea lovers, Ocean-Teabag expanded their repertoire to many other sea creatures including the sea turtle (butterfly pea jasmine tea)…

the distinctive ocean sunfish (Japanese hojicha — roasted green tea)…

the graceful manta ray (tropical mango tea)…

and even a blood-thirsty shark (blended herb tea).

The newest addition to their robust series of marine creatures is a tea bag shaped like an innocuous sea cucumber. This little parcel is filled with jasmine tea, as well as a smidgen of sea cucumber powder to lend some authenticity. Ocean-Teabag warns that some people who have a sensitive tongue may find it tasting a little fishy.

The company also crafted a deep sea series that will satisfy even the most adventurous of tea drinkers out there. A few such examples are the anglerfish (earl grey tea)…

the creepy giant isopod (Eastern Beauty oolong tea)…

the horseshoe crab (white apricot tea)…

…and lastly the king of them all, the enormous giant oarfish. ( Delicious Assam tea of epic proportions! ) Just like its namesake, it measures a whopping 19 centimeters (7.5 inches). Drinking tea becomes an art when half of your tea bag hangs out of your cup.

 While the notion of turning your cup of tea into fish-inhabiting waters is not new, these tea bags will hopefully conjure up images of gentle ocean waves in your mind. 

  • “What’s stopping you from being honest with me?”
  • “I want to know which one of you has been leaving gifts on my front doorstep.”
  • “Sneaky? Not something I’m capable of, but I know someone who is.”
  • “Since we have time while you’re monologuing, can you pass me that blanket? It’s awfully cold in your lair. Which, honestly, probably contributes to why you’re so cranky all the time.”
  • “We’ve come a long way, haven’t we? Not that it did you much good.”
  • “At this point, you accept that they’re going to do what they want and you’ll have to go along with their schemes or get left behind.”

My journey has come to an end. Thank you for joining me here at the end of all things

I've invented a new system of government where before you pass any bill it has to be read by a philosopher, community leader, and a historian who are all entitled to reject the bill and/or beat the shit out of you for anything they feel is blatantly evil

I'd like to start implementing this in Florida

I'd throw in a scientist as well TBH

A philosopher, a community organizer, a historian, a scientist, and a politician walk into a bar.

The politician slides the rest of them several stacks of paper.

They all go out to the parking lot.

What is this, some kind of joke?

The punchline was in the parking lot.

The whole Pepsi commercial thing reminded me that people always mis-remember the famous flower in the gun barrel photo as being a young woman. It wasn’t. The photo, taken by Bernie Boston, is of George Edgerly Harris III better known by his stage name Hibiscus. He was a member of the San Francisco based radical gay liberation theater troupe the Cockettes. He died of AIDS in 1982 at the time AIDS was still referred to by the name GRID which stood for Gay Related Immuno-Deficiency. The photo was taken at a protest at the Pentagon. 

I had no idea who he was, thank you.

This is one example of the Mandela Effect phenomena, where an iconic moment is reenacted with a hippy woman so many times that people think that’s the story and thus another gay man is written out of history. Thanks for the photo.

I had no idea. Wow.

This photo was taken by Bernie Boston, a black/native man who willingly stood up to a chapter of the KKK and earned their respect among other things

I get the subject is important, but please dont erase Bernie. I knew him personally and he deserves to be remembered and by only remembering the subject, a white man, you erase a black man.

@vaspider could you reblog this version too, please? I am deeply upset by Bernie’s erasure from his own work.

Reblogging for credit to the photographer, and so I can look up his work on desktop later.

me: *wailing dramatically in a long Victorian dress with a lit candelabra down one of the many dimly lit corridors of my gothic mansion at midnight*

my spouse: *turning on the hall light* we fucking talked about this

So my sister sent this to her boyfriend and I’m dying

That’s a keeper right there

jaskier has known geralt for so long that he can read him like a book. he’s memorized every shift in his posture, knows what it means when he flexes his fingers or taps his foot on the floor or his mouth twitches almost imperceptibly

and over the years, he’s become very familiar with interpreting geralt’s emotive hmm’s, down to every inflection and lilt in his tone, even though nobody else knows what on earth is going on 

  • someone asks geralt for a favor at an obscure bar
  • geralt, emotionless: hmm
  • jaskier, not even bothering to look up from his food: he said no
  • a drunk rando: look, the butcher of blaviken!
  • geralt: hmm
  • jaskier, taking a sip of his drink: i suggest you run
  • ciri: geralt, can you help me with this?
  • geralt, in another room: hmm
  • jaskier, in yet another room: he’ll be right there!
  • jaskier, strumming a new tune on his lute: how does this sound?
  • geralt: hmm
  • jaskier: yeah, i like it too
  • in the middle of an argument
  • jaskier: are you even listening?
  • geralt: hmm
  • jaskier: oh - you - how dare - don’t even start -

sometimes they have entire conversations where it’s just jaskier rambling, pausing briefly so geralt can go hmm, before he goes right? that’s exactly what i thought, and everyone else around them is completely baffled because how the hell does he understand him?

it gets to the point where people immediately look to jaskier to translate when geralt is being particularly unresponsive

(bonus)

  • jaskier: what are we gonna do once we get back to the inn?
  • geralt: hmm
  • jaskier, letting out a scandalized gasp: geralt, save it for the bedroom!
