lol heads up if you try to make a candle w food coloring, the food coloring will just sink to the bottom of the glass, and when the flame eventually reaches the bottom all the food coloring will catch fire and become one giant tall flame that you cannot possibly blow out and the glass will start to crack and then you’ll throw your tea on it in a panic and then the extremely hot food coloring will boil and sizzle horribly and then the glass will shatter. please take my word on this lmfao.

edible candles???

we can try that! i made mine with wax which is super not edible, but lets see what we can do! we’ll make the best present for mister king!

[escardos]

ok but if you change the emphasis it’s food coloring which means that it gives things color!

[escardos]

oh? are you a candle making expert, keith? :O

[enkidoh]

perhaps we can put food inside the wax.

[Hold on, they have an idea here.]

perhaps pieces of corn. then when you light the candle the corn will pop and be edible.

his name is gilgamesh. i am sure he would not mind you using his name. tell him i have allowed you to do so.

[escardos]

id have to try something else... perhaps instead of food coloring, i can try to use natural dyes via plants? but that would probably clog the wick...

oh, perhaps an infusion then. like a tea.

id have to test this!

[escardos]

i think the wax inside would still make it poisonous.

wait

WAIT WAIT I GOT IT.

I GOT IT!!!!!!!

alright we're gonna need chocolate!!!!! and some alcohol!! oh man this is gonna be great! mister gilgamesh will have the coolest edible candles ever!!! :D

[escardos]

The philosopher's stone is pretty outdated, but I guess I could try to do that! but you wouldn't use food dye for that. [ flat chuckles. in reality, though, he's kind of thinking about it already...can you make a philosopher's stone with food dye and candle wax? ]

That said, enkidu asked me if I could teach them how to make edible candles! If we succeed at that, then I'd be super happy to take you up on your offer! It's very nice of you!

( valuable information to be sure, which he'll memorize just in case. however... )

What is "lmfao"? ( welp. )

nOOOOOOOO SAVE YOURSELF

[escardos]

its an acronym! for laughing my fucking ass off.

it means im laughing a lot.

probably out of nervousness.

because the candle exploded.

IT'S TOO LATE

[taciturnly]

( cue lan wangji inwardly making the equivalent of this face probably. now imagine if he asked what fucking meant )

Why didn't you simply say so? ( you know. that you were laughing. for some reasons. )

HE DOESNT DESERVE THIS

[escardos]

[ flat would die is what would happen. ]

because it’s shorter to say lmfao than the whole phrase? and i don’t mean it literally either. it’s like a saying. text messages should be short and easy to read! don’t you think so too?

I'M SO SORRY

[taciturnly]

Why say it at all, if you don't mean it? ( doesn't it kind of defeat the purpose of keeping it short??? )

TMSBSYUITM.

[escardos]

close! but not like that.

most people have to know what the acronym stands for! if not it's just a string of random letters.

[taciturnly]

Text messages should be succinct yet unequivocal in their meanings. ( now you know what his homemade acronym meant! )

[escardos]

well, that's why acronyms usually work. because most people know their meaning.

like...ttyl or omw. do you know those?

[taciturnly]

No.

( and suddenly it's like his entire mind catches fire; sounds like it could potentially be useful for someone he knows. maybe even for himself, when trying to communicate with said someone. )

Could you perhaps teach me a few more?

[marmoron]

nope never made one of those before
just seemed like if you were gonna try an experiment like that you could've done it in a bathtub or something
did nurning the food dye at least turn the flames a fun color?

[sealeted]

Wild thought, but have you considered asking a professional how they do it?

[escardos]

sure!!!!

ok so, ttyl is "talk to you later" and omw is "on my way"! super useful, right?

ummm... others are like... lol, which is 'laughing out loud' or btw which is 'by the way'!

[taciturnly]

Is there anything that might pertain to closer relationships? ( .........not in that way. he just means..!!! ) Bonds.

it's just like canon!

[foundfamilies]

Would you not feel it if you lost your eyebrows? By any of the things that happened there.

You should clean up the glass before you hurt yourself on it, though.

[curruid_coinchenn]

...

you didn't even bother to clean up the glass before posting this?

[escardos]

it literally just happened? im still in shock!

[escardos]

ilu! it means “i love you”!

or if you wanna respond to it, you say ilu2, which means “i love you too”!!

[curruid_coinchenn]

clean up the glass first.
