[copperbadge]

Have you ever seen such a monstrosity? 🤣

Frosted Bologna Cake recipe

1 package bologna

12 oz cream cheese (1 and 1/2 packages, room temperature)

3 tablespoons onion powder or half packet of dry ranch mix

cheese whiz for decorating

In a large bowl, add room temperature cream cheese and onion powder or ranch dressing

Mix them together.

Take one slice of bologna from the package and pat dry with paper towels. Then place it on a plate. Spread a layer of cream cheese mixture on top of the bologna

Then spread about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture between each layer. Repeat until you use up all the bologna. Spread more cream cheese mixture onto the side of the bologna cake.

If you want to decorate your bologna cake you can use cheez whiz 😆

[ID: The photo is of the "cake" described in the recipe; it has a slice removed to show flat layers of deli meat with herbed cream cheese inbetween, an outer frosting of cream cheese, spray-cheese decorative edges, and a pickle on top, with ritz crackers nearby.]

Honestly I recognized it must be some kind of Meat Cake immediately and it took me a while to look at the image without gagging. :D I'm sure it's fine -- it's just bologna and herbed cream cheese -- but I don't like deli meat to begin with and bologna in particular. I will say I was relieved to see that was cream cheese and not mayonnaise.

It's basically a kind of....constructed dip, as it were? Maybe a spread? If this were a bowl of herbed cream cheese with bacon bits or even fried bologna bits in it, I don't think most folks would bat an eye, it's just the fact that the bologna is unaltered and still whole that makes it so, uh, special. Like, imagine biting into a slice of that. Even if you cut a thin slice and put it on a cracker, it seems like it'd be both troublesome and disgusting to eat.

On the one hand it's pretty similar to a smorgastarta, so it's not unheard-of. But on the other it also seems to me like maybe one of those dishes people create specifically as clickbait, because it's so weird that folks send it to one another.

Hiya! It was my 21st on the 17th! Could I get a birthday request with any of the following characters?

Spencer Reid Miguel O'Hara Eggsy Jonathan Crane Hobie Brown.

As always Im a sucker for confession stories and major fluffiness haha

GN!Reader's Birthday [blurbs]

omg happy belated birthday love! i hope your birthday was amazing! i did all of them because i love them all and i couldn't decide.

Warnings: age gap, fluff, mentions of alcohol

note: hi. if you're new, welcome! i typically write my characters soft. any character here that you feel is out of character is because im a firm believer that they are soft strictly for their s/o no matter how grumpy or evil they are.

------

Spencer Reid (established relationship):

With a memory like his, your birthday would always end up in you being spoiled with your favorite things. This year was different since you both were dating, and he wanted to make it extra special for you. Not only did he get you your favorite cake flavor, but he also took the whole week off of work for you, wanting to make it extra special for you. He cooked a dinner for you...but the recipe was wrong, so the food was a bit saltier than anything else, so you both just ordered take out instead and watched your favorite movie on the couch and cuddling.

Miguel O'Hara (friends to lovers/confession):

You were one of the few people he liked, so when Jess mentioned it was your birthday, he mumbled a soft "mierda" (shit) before rushing out of his office and heading to a nearby panadería (bakery) and bought a cake, asking the man behind the counter to write your name on it and rushing back to the Society building. Funny enough, your name was now smeared all over the cake, making you laugh when you saw it. You would thank him, and he'd smile. To you, that was the best birthday gift you could ask for...right? Well, it would've been if Miguel didn't end up turning into a major softy and confessed his love for you.

Eggsy (established relationship):

He would invite you to a pub to celebrate with a few drinks after taking you out to dinner. Naturally, he would tell the waiter that it was your birthday, so the other waiters and waitresses would come out with a dessert and sing the happy birthday song. You were in between wanting to hate him or wanting to love him since he got you a free dessert but made a big deal out of it. At the pub, he'd buy your favorite drink (alcohol-free or not) and would simply just talk to you about his job that you knew had nothing to do with tailoring suits. The night would eventually end with him giving you a ride home and kissing you goodnight.

Jonathan Crane (friends to lovers/confession):

This man was something else. He wasn't sure what to do for your birthday and he was stressed. The one time when you both became best friends, he gifted you the knowledge of knowing he was Scarecrow...but that was two years ago. He was losing his mind on what to do, so he kept it simple and invited you to his place for a movie. He tried baking a cake, he really did, but this man was a whiz in the kitchen of a lab, not of a home. He gave you a shy smile when he showed you the burnt cake and you thanked him for at least trying. Instead, he lit a pumpkin shaped candle and told you to make a wish; he decorates early for Halloween, don't judge him. The night ends with you cuddled up against him after he told you he loved you more than a friend.

Hobie Brown (established relationship):

To say that he confused you in the best way was an understatement. He told you birthdays weren't his thing, but it seemed like for you, he would do absolutely anything. He bought you cupcakes to celebrate and told you his gift would be different than every other year. It kind of saddened you since you loved going on protests with him, but alas, you waited for the gift. When he took out his electric guitar and played a song you didn't recognize with it. Once he was done, you tilted your head to the side, and he told you he wrote it for you as a gift for your birthday. You would then thank him and gave him a kiss on his cheek. You both shared the cupcakes, but you drew a smiley face on his cheek with some icing, causing him to laugh and kiss you softly.

Wilt-resist your whipped cream! (A cheat, by Doc)

Okay, the phrase "by Doc" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here--I actually learned this tip from a gal I was competing with years ago in state fair (she beat my ass) and I'm sure other aunts and grandmas know it. But, whomst else on tumblr will deliver it to your eyeballs?

Because you know the trouble with whipped cream and whipped cream frostings is they tend to wilt over time, especially if they have to deal with absolutely any level of heat. A simple room temperature can make your pie or cake look weepy and sad. Your bowl of fresh whipped cream now looks worse than the fuckin' cool whip. Tragedy.

Now, I assume you, erudite and exceptional readers of this blog, are already using powdered sugar/icing sugar instead of standard sugar to make your whipped cream, not only because of greater stability but because it functionally removes the possibility of graininess. This is a "I want to make this whipped cream the night before" tip. Other tips like milk powder, I find, just don't have the same longevity as what's below:

Professionals use gelatin or agar-agar, which I don't like for two reasons: 1) Gelatin is not vegetarian and in the US is often made from pork, so fuck your Jewish or Muslim guests and 2) you have to bloom the gelatin or agar-agar, and it can be tricky to work with, and if you aren't the 'working with high-level mousses and creams often" type, it may be a waste of space in your kitchen.

But gee whiz, did you know there's a very cheap and intensely easy solution for busy housewives to keep her man loving her whipped cream, and by extension, her? Tell her, Don!

Why little lady, it's Jell-O (tm) brand instant pudding mix! Don't tell the ladies at the church bake-off...we won't.

This is the easiest possible way to get nice, stiff whipped cream that holds up for, I think my record is three days. It can also tolerate sitting in a warm room much much better than whipped cream really ought to be able to.

"But Doc, isn't Jell-O, uh, gelatin?"

Jell-O itself is, but Jell-O pudding is actually kosher. I assume other brands are as well, but I don't know this for a fact--so make sure to check the label if you're using a different brand. What's doing the work here is 'modified food starch' which is a stronger version of cornstarch, which I find, added to whipped cream, to require too much to be added, and the texture gets odd.

This is cheap! Your grocery store may vary, but this small box was 99 cents.

This is easy! All you do is add about 1 tablespoon of pudding mix per one cup of heavy/whipping/double cream* and then whip as usual.

It does lightly flavor the whipped cream, which I've never found to be a problem--I use regular vanilla mostly, but french vanilla is nice for banana cream pie, I used coconut cream for the pie I just entered WHICH WON BEST IN SHOW I MIGHT ADD. Chocolate is great for chocolate whipped cream. You're smart people, you got this. The only ones I don't recommend are tapioca (pearls) and Oreo (having about three bits of oreo in the whipped cream looks dirty rather than intentional.)

Go forth, and set your whipped cream on the sideboard with confidence!

*I'm aware these all actually contain different levels of fat, but let's get real here, they are often used interchangeably and only the craziest among us is going to seriously get into "What cream should you be whipping?" discourse.

"A World Brimming With Friends" Cain SSR Card Story - The Goal: Pull-Apart Bread!

translated not by me, but by sheeprave, another member of the translation group i'm part of!

✦✧☾✧✦

Cain: Come along then, my fair Purin. To commemorate us meeting again, eat all you like.

Purin: Wowie~! Look at all these tasty treats!

Cookies with a buttery scent, elegantly garnished chocolate, cake with generous amounts of whipped cream… The dining room table was laden with the treats Cain had bought.

Purin: Cain, thank you for bringing so much!

Cain: You're very welcome.

The pair looked at each other and smiled merrily. Purin, who had become able to use magic, came to visit this world again through some strange miracle.

Cain: I brought all of my most-recommended items. Since you wanted to try this world's sweets, I did my best to oblige.

Purin: Whee, I can't wait to try them. Let me have a smackerel! Zowie~! This chocolate is jam-packed with jam! Yummy!

Akira: That one's really good! I like it a lot myself.

Cain: Go ahead and have some too, Master Sage. There's plenty to go around.

Akira: Thank you!

Purin: Cain, you should eat too♪ Sharing makes it even tastier.

Cain: Thanks. Don't mind if I do.

We hung around the table with treats in hand and enjoyed a lively conversation upon our reunion.

Akira: Ah, these cookies are from that shop in the capital that's always got a line out front! Purin, try it!

Purin: Thanks! Mm, this one's yummy too! I'm so happy that I get to talk with my friends and eat lots of tasty snacks~

Akira: (S-So cute!)

Purin, with his angelic smile, was just so adorable that I kept suggesting more treats.

Purin: Gee, my tummy's full…

Akira: Same here. It was all so good, I couldn't help stuffing my mouth.

After spending a lovely time together, Purin and I rubbed our full bellies.

Cain: How about we head somewhere our fair Purin didn't get to see last time--say, outside the manor or around town?

Purin: Okay! But I ate a bit too much, so I want to rest a little.

Purin patted his round belly and gave Cain an envious look.

Purin: Cain, you ate lots too, but your tummy's not puffy. That's nice.

Cain: Ahaha. My abs are toned by all the drills I do. You wanna feel them?

Purin: Can I? Then just an itty-bitty touch… Golly gee whiz! Cain, your tummy's like pull-apart bread!

Cain: Like bread…? Not quite sure I understand, but thanks for the compliment! [1]

Purin: I want to work out my body and get slim and fit like you. Cain, what kind of exercise do you do? Can I become like you if I do drills too?

Cain: You don't have to be like me. You're plenty wonderful as you are, my fair Purin. But if I had to say… …Okay. Hey, if you don't mind, can we change plans?

[1] TL note: Cain initially misinterprets "pull-apart bread" (ちぎりパン chigiri-pan) as a synonym for "promise" (契り chigiri) . Given the very specific terms and implications, it was impossible to preserve this pun and still have it sound natural.

✦✧☾✧✦

After a short break, Cain brought us to a forest near the manor.

Cain: I do practice drills in this forest a lot. It's well-shaded and has plenty of open space. Perfect for working out, don't you think?

Purin: Uh-huh! The wind feels nice~♪

Cain: How about you try working out a little here today? I'll teach you the stuff I usually do.

Purin: Wowie, are you sure?

Cain: Yeah! I like your squishiness, but if you want to change, then you do you. I'd like to help, if you're okay with that.

Purin: I'll try my bestest! Thank you, Cain!

Cain: You're welcome. How about you, Master Sage?

Akira: I'd be happy to! I want to be shredded too.

Cain: All right! Then all three of us can do it. Although, what parts should we train…? …I know. You complimented my abs earlier. You said they were like pull-apart…pull-apart bread…?

Akira: Um, how do I say it… Pull-apart bread is a kind of food in our world. It's hard to describe it… It's bread that's meant to be torn apart and eaten, so it has furrows that mark each serving. I think what Purin is trying to say is that your abs are furrowed just like that kind of bread.

Purin: Uh-huh! And they looked delicious~♪

Cain: Oh, I see. So, setting a clear goal here, let's try and get you to have abs like that pull-apart bread. Hey, how about we do those Purin Exercises that you taught us before?

Purin: Okey-dokey~ I'm great at Purin Exercises! Want to join us, Mx. Sage?

Akira: Absolutely!

Purin: Purin, Purin~♪ Reach for the sky, then put your hands back at your side~

Purin proudly showed us his Purin Exercises.

Purin: And then you streeech~

Cain: …All right. Both of you, stop moving!

Akira: O-Okay!

Cain: From that position, try leaning over to one side as far as you can do. That should put your abs to work.

Purin: You mean it? Ummm, reach to the side~

Akira: Wow, you're right…! I can feel tension in my abs!

Cain: Ten reps of these on both sides, and that'll count as one set. I'll teach you what you can do alongside the Purin Exercises, just like this. Given the opportunity, I want you to have fun working out.

Purin: Okey-dokey! This'll be bundles of fun~♪

Cain: Glad to hear it! Then next up is…

Purin: 1, 2, 3… 9, 10! I did it! And that's how you do the Purin Exercises!

Cain: Well done! Fair Purin, Master Sage, you both worked hard.

Purin: And if I keep doing these, my tummy might become like pull-apart bread too~♪ Thank you, Cain! I'll teach this adapted version to my friends. But if I keep calling them Purin Exercises, maybe they'll get mixed up with the standard version?

Cain: Hmm. Then how about you add my name to it? It'll be "Purin-Cain Exercises."

Purin: Yippee, that's terrific~! Let's do that!

Akira: (That's a pretty straightforward name… But it suits them both, so it's nice.)

Seeing the two of them in harmonious agreement made my soul feel rejuvenated.

✦✧☾✧✦

After I had a great time working out and enjoying the sights with Purin and Cain… We had Purin bring us to Puroland with his magic.

Cain: Now this is magnificent! I'm getting excited just standing here. I almost want to break into dance.

Purin: Eheheh, don't you~♪ I love it here too!

Akira: Huh? I think I can hear the Purin Exercise music coming from over there…

Purin: You're right~! Maybe my friends are dancing to it. I'll start doing the Purin-Cain Exercises we put together with all of them tomorrow!

Cain: Sure! If you do it with people you're close with, you should feel more motivated and entertained.

Purin: Uh-huh! I can't wait to tell them all about it~ But we all worked out a whole bunch today, so I bet you're both hungry now.

Akira: Now that you mention it, yes… despite all the treats we ate before that.

Cain: It's because of all that good exercise. No wonder you're running low.

Purin: Oh goodie, then let's go out and munch together! I'll bring you to my favorite restaurant. They have meat and veggies and dessert too~

Akira: Purin's favorite restaurant…! I'd love to go!

Cain: Yeah, please! I'm really in the mood for meat. They've got it there?

Purin: Of course they do~! Grilled, simmered, steamed, fried, whatever you care to try! There's steak and pasta, salad and ramen, cake… and pudding too!

Akira: They've got a huge selection…! Just listening to you is making my stomach rumble.

Purin: And I can feel my tummy grumble just by talking about it! …Ah, but if I eat again, will my tummy not be like pull-apart bread?

Cain: It'll be fine. Once you've eaten your fill, we can exercise again. You can't deprive yourself long-term. Just work hard and play hard and you'll feel much better. Besides, you can't build muscle without nutrition. Your abs won't be like pull-apart bread then.

Purin: Ohh! Then I'll eat bunches too~ So my tummy will be like pull-apart bread!

It warmed my heart to see Purin cheerily bouncing along and Cain chatting with him, matching his tiny stride.

Purin: I know! Since you hosted me in your world, I'll host you both at the restaurant.

Akira: Thank you, Purin. I can't wait!

Cain: It's deeply appreciated, my fair Purin.

Purin: You can count on me! After we eat lots of tasty things, let's do the Purin-Cain Exercises again.

Cain: Ahaha, that's an extravagant digestive aid. I'm excited for that too.

I followed a few steps behind Purin and Cain. I could see their cheery profiles best from that angle. That day of unceasing mirth, even more mystical and special than usual, wore on jovially.

After the Purin-Cain Exercises Is…

Akira: Hello, Cain. Are you doing your drills?

Cain: Master Sage. I'm done with my drills and was just doing some stretches. And… hup! …Phew.

Akira: Oh, you did that back stretch during the Purin-Cain Exercises too.

Akira: Now that I'm thinking about it, did you invent the moves you added to the exercises?

Cain: No, those are basically practice stretches I did while I was in the knights. I picked the ones that are easy for beginners and can tone their muscles without stressing them. You could feel the effects even with just light stretching and twisting of the body, right?

Akira: Yes! It loosened up parts that I don't usually move, which felt stimulating. And maybe it's just a placebo, but it feels good for digestion. I'm doing it whenever my stomach's full now.

Cain: Oh, wonderful! The most important thing about exercise is to not quit. Keep doing it at a pace that won't wear you out. Let me know when the exercises become easy for you. Then I'll come up with a Purin-Cain Exercises 2 that pushes you a little more.

Not tech whiz styles💀

What was it like for harry to finally convince y/n to accept his ig request the first time since she's so private and only y had close friends + family?? I feel like that man was humbled by the way he had to absolutely GROVEL to get her to go out with him

omg he absolutely was humbled and he absolutely DID grovel

i think he was very used to dating people who didn’t care about being so public because they were also famous, or wanted to show him off, so meeting y/n and finding out just how private she is as a person came as a huge shock to him. it was definitely something he had to get used to, despite always saying that he likes to separate his personal & work life.

i imagine private!yn as being very stubborn and headstrong. like she definitely had feelings for harry from the beginning but she also definitely was never ever going to be willing to give up her normal life just to date him. their first conversation about him following her probably went something like this:

harry: “so can i get your instagram?”

y/n: “no.”

harry: “cool, let me just get out my phone so i can follow you—wait did you just say no?”

y/n: “we need to work on your listening comprehension skills, styles. you’re lucky you’re cute.”

harry: “rude!”

it took a lot of convincing for him to finally be allowed to follow the account. y/n forced him to pay for SO many dates, bring her matcha lattes after work, and take embarrassing pics of himself just for the opportunity to follow her and make things official.

eventually she gave in though, and i imagine THAT conversation started out super serious with y/n being all business-like and telling harry how big of an honor it is to have access to her instagram and how he shouldn’t treat this opportunity lightly…

but it ends with harry being absolutely elated like truly over the moon that he finally managed to crack y/n and he immediately calls a local bakery to rush order a celebratory cake for the occasion bc he can’t take anything seriously. when the cake arrives she smushes his face into it and he starts whining about how she can’t be so violent towards someone she just made her boyfriend.

and that is how their relationship began ❤️

Knightstone Household: Chapter 8, Part 4

In this part we have Silas aging up to a child during an alien filled birthday party, which is ultimately thrown off track by an unfortunate event.

Nicknames Suzanna is Mummy or Starlight Adam is Pops or My Heart Silas is Starshine Pollock is Pol or Moondust If Pollock is trying to babble real words they will be in brackets

Someone is not excited for a morning raspberry (I should have recognised this as the omen it was but I absolutely did not).

Adam: Good Morning. Happy Birthday Silas

Silas: Pops, can I have bath for my birthday?

Adam: What?

Silas: I not mean to make you dis pointed when I not want bath last night

Adam: *chuckles* I have a hot-head Silas, it's something Pops has to try work on

Silas: But can I has bath

Adam: Please try to keep the water in the tub this time

Adam: Silas had a bath for his birthday, he doesn’t want presents

Silas: No, NO! Pops lie

Suzanna: Well it’s a good thing we already got some stuff then isn’t it

Silas: So…. I do get gifts?

Adam: Nope, not even one

Silas: Pops!

Suzanna: Not until your party Starshine

The family work their way through breakfast and Adam lets Silas out while he busies himself making the birthday cake.

Pollock and Silas go outside while Suzanna tends to the garden. Suzanna harvests and Pollock balances… or tries to balance.

Silas: You want to walk Pol? You can copy me

Pol: ca la do dah (I don’t want to be carried)

Suzanna: Oh Moondust did you just babble

Silas: Mummy what is babble

Suzanna: It’s like… trying to talk… but instead of proper words you’re getting used to making sounds

Silas: When can he talk? I want him to talk

Pollock: Ca ru la dun (Balance legs, balance)

Suzanna: We’ll have to wait and see

Suzanna, taking the day off work, sets off for a quick run. The boys are in the backyard and Adam can see it from the office. On her way out she spots what looks like Kayleigh in the distance (Kayleigh is her friend, and aware she and Adam are aliens)

*Doorbell rings*

Adam: The party doesn’t start until- Hey!

Kayleigh: Hey! You’re having a party?

Adam: Silas turns 6 today. We wanted to invite local aliens for Silas to chat with but you are more than welcome to stay. I made coconut cake

Kayleigh: Now how could I turn down coconut cake? They'd kick me out of Sulani

Silas: Hello plant, how are you today

Plant:

Silas: That is nice to hear

Pollock: *snores*

Silas: It is nice to meet you

Plant:

Adam: What are you doing son

Silas: Practicing saying hi. Do I sound human Pops?

Adam: Try not to worry about that today, we'll be mainly with other aliens

The guests start arriving and the household, apart from a snoozing Pollock, change to their party clothes. Silas takes the chance to have one last proper playtime with his Pops before Suzanna comes to collect him for his cake.

Suzanna: Are you ready to get big

Silas: Yes Mummy but gifts-

Suzanna: The gifts will be there afterwards. Come along Starshine

The aliens (plus Shelley Turner and her daughter) make their way through the house to the backyard for the celebration.

Suzanna: Ready to make a wish

Adam: He can’t

Silas: Pops?

Adam: We have to sing first

Silas: *giggles* Can I sing

Suzanna: We sing to you Starshine but if you want to sing to then you sing along

Adam launches into a rendition of Happy Birthday and Silas gets excited. He asks Suzanna to help him with the candles as he can’t reach quite high enough. And then, he grows up!

Silas rolled the music lover trait and the Whiz Kid aspiration. Red is a new favourite colour but I just couldn’t go past this shirt for his party outfit.

Silas: Who are your parents again

Tyree: Over there. Skinner and Larain

Ruth: My parents are Yolanda and Katherine

Tyree: No they’re not

Ruth: What?

Tyree: You have to have a dad

Ruth: *rolls eyes* Not with modern technology you don’t. Clearly your parents failed to educate you (and clearly someone inherited their mother's sass)

The only humans here other than Kayleigh are Shelley and her daughter Anya who are new neighbours.

Shelley: Just don’t make me look bad in front of my boss and you’ll get a raise in you allowance

Anya: But Kelly’s parents-

Shelley: Anya, enough about that kid! You'd think you have no other friends

Adam: Hi there, I don’t think we’ve met

Shelley: I’m Shelley Turner, this is my daughter Anya. I work with Suzanna and we saw you move in. We just live across the way

For a minute Adam looks like he's trying hard to remember if Suzanna mentioned her, but then he remembers! How could he forget?

Adam: Oh Shelley!

Shelley: *sighs* yes, the woman who tried ghost goo only to become a permanent ghost for a while

Skinner: A ghost! But you are now human again? How fascinating

Shelley: It really wasn’t. Thank goodness the watcher got their act together and fixed it

Nihel: You’re who?

Myrtle: We live just across the fields. My husband was successful talking to Larain telepathically to extend our invitation to the area

As if on cue Myrtle's husband Armando joins the aliens on the deck.

Katherine: Larain was right? First time for everything I guess. Nobody tell her

Armando: Oh I already did, telepathically and in the study

Katherine: *rolls eyes* fabulous

Adam: Well I’m glad you invited us, it’s lovely here

Armando: It is! The population is roughly 50% alien in Chestnut Ridge so the local humans are used to things being odd, people of all colours being out and about, it's perfect for raising a family

Suzanna: Hey there Moondust, how about some milk

Pollock: coo na ma ree (Yes for milk)

Suzanna: Let’s go have a nap huh? Away from the noise

But as Suzanna settles Pollock on her arm something goes wrong. He is far more squishy than normal. She decides a diaper change is in order but the stink cloud is already forming.

Marianna: Oh Suz- Are you okay

But Pollock’s diaper has suffered a blow out and there is no coming back!

Suzanna: Oh no, please don’t-

Pollock: ca luu do *pee falls to a puddle on the ground*

Suzanna: Oh come on watcher! I thought we did his diaper a few hours ago

Katherine: That is disgusting

Suzanna: Yes Katherine, thanks for letting me know. I would not have come to that conclusion by myself

Katherine: I’m just sayin Suz

Marianna: Why don’t you take him inside? We can keep an eye out for Silas and-

Katherine: You can decontaminate yourself as fast as alienly possible

Silas is less than pleased with his brother upstaging him at his own party by pooping himself so Nihel ushers him and the kids inside, distracting them with some video games.

...

Armando: You should come and visit us sometime, bring dinner

Myrtle: If you tried cooking it with us we’d probably have to kick you out

Kayleigh: Hey Adam, sorry to interrupt, can you look at this photo I took of my latest piece? It would be great to get a heads up for what the review will be like

Adam: You know I’m a fan of your paintings. Review is likely to be positive but sure, I can give some pre thoughts

Suzanna: Safest thing is just straight in the bath I reckon

Pollock: Ca du la lee

Suzanna: Let me just wash my hands then we can start on you stinky

Pollock: Dun de gar

...

Ruth: Cool party Silas. Shame about Pollock

Silas: He couldn’t have pooped himself away from the cake? No. He had to ruin everyone’s wish to eat instead

Adam: Words cannot express how glad I am that the blowout did not happen on me

Suzanna: *laughs* Thanks for the support Adam

Adam: I’m just saying if it did I would absolutely be throwing up as well

Suzanna: Was Silas okay after I had to take Pollock off

Adam: He- He did seem a bit annoyed about it

Suzanna: Shoot. I should talk to him

Adam: I don’t think he’s much in the mood for talking Starlight

Suzanna: I should still try

Suzanna: Starshine can-

Silas: I need a nap Mummy, not now

Nevertheless Suzanna watches over him and tucks him in. While he rests she has her own dinner and Adam works on his review piece of Kayleigh’s latest painting. He’s not asleep long however and gets up to pour through the book he got for his birthday, introduction to piano.

Silas: Mummy

Suzanna: Yes? Hold on a sec, he needs to be burped

Pollock: *burps perfect bubbles*

Suzanna settles Pollock in the high chair and turns to her eldest who has his arms up for a hug.

Suzanna: *giddy* Oh hey you

Silas: I know I got mad about Pollock but I didn’t mean to be mad at you Mummy

Suzanna: If you think that was mad- well… I’m so glad you don’t know worse

Silas: Pollock on the other hand *jokily* someone was a stinky butt face of a brother

Pollock: *bursts into tears*

Silas: Pol, I was joking

Pollock: *continues to cry*

Suzanna: I don’t think he understand humour yet, he barely understands words. And remember he’s sensitive

Pollock: *wails*

Silas: Don’t worry Mummy, I’ll fix this

Silas begins to pull a series of bizarre faces at his brother who soon begins to laugh at his antics.

Suzanna: Come on boys, bedtime I think

She takes Pollock in to change his diaper, the memory of the blowout still very fresh in her mind. She gets him clean and changed before putting him in his crib for the night.

Suzanna: Good night Moondust, good dreams

Pollock: Na baa do (good night)

Silas: Night night Pollock. Night night Mummy

Suzanna: Good night Starshine. May you sail the skies in your dreams

Adam: Ready to go to bed

Suzanna: You bet. I think Silas is doing better now. Did you get your piece done

Adam: Drafted, edited, proof read. All set to be published in the morning. Before we woohoo I just need you to tell me again that you've showered since the blowout

Suzanna: *laughs* I've showered since the blowout

It’s a restful night for the household but the dawn brings an unwelcome gift, dust bunnies on all three storeys!

— OC TAG GAME

tagged by mine beloved @corvosattano to do this fun little tag game — thank you macy 💕

tagging @chuckhansen @queennymeria @cptcassian @unholymilf @shallow-gravy @florbelles @adelaidedrubman @roofgeese @confidentandgood @risingsh0t @loriane-elmuerto @shellibisshe @marivenah @nightbloodbix @leviiackrman and anyone else who wants to!

— FAVORITE OC.

this one was actually a lot harder than i anticipated it being. i love all my silly kids but i wasn’t really sure i had a favorite — except the more i think about it, the more i think maura is. making her was the last time i really gave my all to a character and the last time i created something without caring what anyone else thought about it. she was special. she still is.

— NEWEST OC.

maggie’s the newest, but i’ve been very delinquent in doing anything with her and i unfortunately don’t see that changing anytime soon. i’d like to come back to her someday. sorry maggie.

— OLDEST OC.

harper has existed in so many iterations over the last decade that it’s hard to even remember the moment that she came into being. she’s changed so much and become such a big part of me — she was my very first creative endeavor and she’ll always hold a special place in my heart.

— MEANEST OC.

before The Incident, at least. i don’t have a lot of truly cruel characters, but olly takes the cake more often than he probably means to. he’s no stranger to taking out his frustrations on the people he loves, and he’s selfish to his very core. if he’s angry, he will not hesitate to push your buttons even if you’re at your most vulnerable. he’s a user and a liar. he knows better.

— SOFTEST OC.

definitely maura. she’s a sweetheart, a hopeless romantic and a relentless optimist in a world where none of those things serve a person very well. she’s seen horrible things and been a victim of even worse, but it never hardens her. the world wasn’t really meant for someone like maura, but she melts the pain around her with her softness.

— MOST ALOOF/STANDOFFISH OC.

mari’s having a weird time. she’s a nice person, deep down, but she harbors some serious resentment and self-hatred and it’s enough to make her come across like an asshole, even when she doesn’t really mean to.

— DUMBEST (AFFECTIONATE) OC.

the funny thing about mark is that he isn’t really very stupid at all. he’s a very particular brand of clever, even! except the brain cell isn’t firing on all cylinders. he’s got brains, but he doesn’t quite know how to use them to their fullest potential. the dumbass energy is unreal, even if it’s not entirely true.

— SMARTEST OC.

lucy and harper are both smart as hell. harper’s got a ph.d in anthropology and she will bore you to tears if you make the mistake of asking her about it. lucy’s a computer whiz who worked in programming and software engineering before her life went down the proverbial drain. my smart, smart girls.

— OC I’D BE FRIENDS WITH IRL.

she’s fun, okay? she’s the cool mom friend, the one who always wants to enjoy life and have a good time. she wants to feel alive. and she so desperately wants to make sure the people she loves are happy, too. who wouldn’t want to be around that?

#enjoy these dorks #these fools even #oc: maura foster #oc: harper rousseau #oc: lucy evans #oc: mark henderson #oc: oliver sinclair #oc: maggie macarthur #oc: marisol aguilar

[trinketbug]

Don’t get me wrong I loved Fionna and cake but what the goddamn whiz were they talking about with the “Simon made all the choices in their relationship, there was an unhealthy power dynamic and Simon should have stopped her from doing all that” girl what? Huh? Huh???? Where? Where did that happen cuz it sure wasn’t in either show

15 for Writer's Choice!

The alarm blares, and Luke groans, slapping at his phone until the horrible noise stops. Opens a bleary eye to see the date staring at him. "Happy fucking birthday," he grumbles, finally getting up, even though he'd rather stay in bed the rest of this miserable day.

Most people who didn't like their birthday didn't want to grow any older, but for Luke it was the opposite. He longed to be any age other than eighteen.

But here he was, celebrating 18 for the twenty fifth time, all because he still hadn't met his soulmate.

At first he had stayed put, wanting to be here so it would make his soulmate easier to find him. But after a few years he got restless and decided that he would travel. Who was to say that his soulmate was in La, hell in the USA even? Plus if he was gonna be stuck as a teenager,might as well get his wanderlust out now.

He travelled all over the world, learning new cultures, languages, and most of all, music. He loved music, and getting to study it with so many masters and teachers was amazing.

Eventually he came home, but he found he still felt restless.

He tried the whole college thing, but he found it wasn't for him. So now he took the odd class at the adult learning centre, gave guitar and voice lessons whenever he felt like it, and generally wondered if he was ever going to meet his soulmate. Not everyone did, and sometimes it took centuries.

Luke had kind of hoped to find them before the next millennium set in.

He didn't have many plans for the day; supper with his folks complete with his favourite chocolate cake. But that just made it all the harder as he sat there watching them get older and older while he stayed ageless. He really hoped he would find his mate before they got too old to meet them, maybe give them a grandbaby or two while they could enjoy it.

Other than that, maybe he could busk on the boardwalk a little? That was always a good time, and he knew some execs hung out there. Yeah he knew he'd probably never get signed all by himself, but he picked up a few session musician gigs that way, and a few of those studios kept his number on file enough that he could make rent.

Resolved, Luke got himself ready; cut off shirt, his favourite beanie, oversized jeans complete with wallet chain. Slipping his feet into his Vans, he grabbed his acoustic and set off.

It was a nice day, so the crowds were going out in droves. Luke set up in a corner away from the other performers, case open in hopes for a few dollars. He did a few covers to start out, it always drew people in. Then he'd launch into a few originals, which usually kept the people around for a spell.

Today he was just finished a set when he saw a very cute couple standing there, smiling at him. The girl tossed a twenty into his case and Luke beamed. "For that you can make a request."

"I like The Beatles," she supplied.

Luke nodded, couldn't go wrong with the classics. He did a lilting version of Blackbird, mournful and full of longing. If she were along he might have done Here There and Everywhere, but he figured that would be pushing his luck.

When he finished, the girl applauded, still smiling wide, showing off the gap in her smile. "You should advertise your YouTube or Insta... something so you get your voice out there," she said. "More than just your name and a pager number."

Luke rubbed the back of his head. "Yeah, I never took to the internet. I know I need social media, but it's after my time and I just never learned."

"Try adjusting to electricity," the guy quipped. "The riots when Tesla and Edison were at their height? Whoa nelly."

The girl giggled. "Reggie you are a tech whiz, stop being so old fashioned."

"Aww Julie, it's fun though!"

Luke at Reggie confused. "Wait... you're still a teenager though."

Reggie cocked his head to the side for a moment then laughed. "Oh yeah, Julie and I are missing our third soulmate. So I still don't age."

"What about you?" Luke asked Julie. "How long have you been waiting?"

Julie blushed, hiding behind her curls for a moment. "Oh, I am actually eighteen, just this year."

"Wow," Luke replied. "Never met anyone who met their mate, or at least one of them so young."

"What about you?" Reggie asks.

"90's," Luke said.

"Not too bad then," Reggie said, and Luke supposed that to him, a quarter century was nothing compared to the decades he had been waiting and the untold stretch of time before him.

Luke saw the crowds were thinning, and he started packing up. It was almost time to head to his parent's place soon anyways. He turned to Reggie and Julie, and a part of him didn't want to say goodbye. There was something about them that allured him so. "It was nice to meet you," was what he said though, knowing they probably had places to be.

"Are you busy tonight?' Julie asked, impulsively.

"We want to get to know you is what Julie mans," Reggie supplies.

"Why?" Luke asks.

"You interest me," Julie says. "Plus I felt this... draw to you when we got here. I'm usually not wrong about this stuff, and it lead me to Reggie."

"How did you know-that you were soulmates?" Luke asks.

"My calendar shows my next birthday will be my 19'th," Julie said. "I checked after Reggie and I met. His is the same."

"Well today is my birthday..." Luke says, but he realizes he left his phone at home, as usual. "But I don't have my phone."

"So do you wanna celebrate and see what happens?" Reggie asks.

"I have dinner with my parents," Luke said. "But you should come. I want to get to know you too."

"As long as they won't mind," Julie cautions.

"Ma is always on my case to bring friends and cooks way too much," Luke assures her.

So they head to Reggie's truck and drive to the Patterson abode. Emily is a little surprised to see two extra people with her son but she's a gracious host and ushers them in.

Reggie and Julie get on like a house on fire with his parents, and Luke already knows that even if Julie's gut is wrong, he wants to keep them in his life for forever. Especially after he finds out that they sing and play. Reggie even confides his best friend Alex plays drums, though he's a little older, meeting his soulmate a few years back.

"Willie ran him over on his skateboard," Julie chortles. "Weirdest meet cute ever."

"Can't be as bad as me almost falling on you from the loft," Reggie says, and that is a story Luke will have to hear later.

Finally it's time for cake and Luke cringes, hating the same eighteen candles every year. Wishing every time for an extra one to appear.

But when his mom enters, he sees something different. There, burning on top of the cake, are nineteen candles.

"Ma?" he whispers.

"The extra one was there when I checked the drawer," she whispers back, squeezing his shoulder.

Luke looks over at Reggie and Julie who are beaming back at him. His soulmates.

"Make a wish," Julie urges.

"Make it a good one," Reggie jokes.

"I... I don't know what to wish for," Luke admits. "Because my wish came true today."

Everyone gets teary at that, and Luke simply wishes for a long life where he gets to grow old with Julie and Reggie.

And this year? He thinks his wish might just come true.

TWST GENDERBEND MILITARY AU

A/N: just a word vomit of the scenario i had in mind lmao

*crash*!

Blot.

Blot was splattered everywhere.

The once oh-so beautiful rose garden of Heartslabyul was in wreck and ruins.

The ear piercing laughter heard from the quite no longer human looking housewarden of Heartslabyul was enough to shake anyone with fright to the core.

And yet, the currently present members of the dorm founded on the Queen of Hearts felt no desire to run away.

None at all.

In fact, a spiked red head had the ambitious desire of beating poor Riddle Roseheart to a pulp. Yes, Ace Trappola had quite enough of the little red headed prick's bull shit.

Although, that desire had to be satitated after defeating the Overblotted Riddle.

----

*beep* *beep *beeeeep*

Noises came from the gem encrusted in the staff belonging to Commander Rozanne Roseheart. Her beautifuly upturned gray eyes sharpened with alert as she summoned her housewarden mask on her free hand.

As natural as it was for a mouse to be the prey of cats, rule breakers must face something akin to an execution. Especially those damned R.Blots along with magicians who willingly overblots.

And Rozanne obligingly took up that role.

However, what she had not considered to be natural was the idea of being transported into a swirling vortex of blot and red.

----

Ace thought he had seen everything.

He remembers the horrifyingly grotesque cake that his brother made for his seventh birthday. He's seen a talking, fire-breathing cat set a guy's butt on fire, cauldrons fall out of the sky and tarts whiz in the air.

Heck, he's watching his tyrant leader overblot into some scary banshee thats throwing a temper tantrum that Ace considers overkill.

But nothing, and he would later swear that nothing, would prepare him for a girl with all too familliar scarlet hair and grey eyes appear in a vortex of red and ink.

"--?!"

Her entrance hadn't been a quiet one. Everyone's eyes were on the Riddle impersonator. Or, at least, an impersonator that resembeled what Riddle used to look like before he lost it.

"What in the great seven's name..." she trails off, transfixed on Ace's overblotting housewarden.

Now that he was looking at her properly, she didn't look exactly like Riddle...

Her hair was noticably longer, and the face was much so much softer. Not to mention-

"Did Riddle get shorter or something?"

Her eyes snapped towards to the oh so ever suicidal Ace.

A/N: Credits to my beloved friend for helping me edit the ending part of this lil scenario, thanks my luv<3

[the-cat-and-the-birdie]

So I was watching Dylan B. And it dawned on me. Ansi is from the 80s. The 80s. She's from that generation where they came up with those weird food concoctions like throwing cheez whiz into cornbread. And yet she'd be there doing it too 😭.

Whenever the three of the 3 of them are hanging out at HQ or just vibing on Hobie's boat she'll bake something. And at first it starts off with your typical 80s treats like monkey bread or some blondies. But sometimes she'll walk out of Hobie's kitchen looking like she's holding toxic waste with the biggest smile on her face.

And it's always a gamble on what you're gonna get, because sometimes her baked goods, while unorthodox, are actually really good. Nobody thought the Velveeta cheese fudge would've turned out well but they were pleasantly surprised. Sometimes though she makes things that are so foul that Hobie, I'll eat anything, Brown debates throwing it overboard after she leaves. (Diane probably has Hobie poison taste test before she tries anything and even then she's skeptical because of his Britishness.)

They give her their honest opinion for each thing that she makes as calmly as they can without hurting her feelings. And since she's trying to learn how to bake using her own groceries they don't have the heart to stop her. However, Ansi is straight up banned from making jello salad because of all the vile concoctions she kept coming up with.

"I thought adding pickles and olives to the jello would give it a more balanced flavor."

"NO."

(You have to know that I saw some of the most horrendous meals while searching up examples. I know there was a whole crack epidemic going on but weren't people coming up with good ideas back then? WHY ARE WE PUTTING THESE THINGS TOGETHER? ASPARAGUS CAKE. ASPARAGUS 😭😭😭😭)

This ask had me WEAK as hell because I imagine Diane eating every sweet like

Being all GREEDY because she loves food. The first one in the kitchen like 'what's this now' and she will try to rope people into it if she can!!

Plus like...never letting the British rest when it comes to food

Hobie is all hesitant and she's like 'Weren't you eating spotted dick yesterday'. 'You're bugging out, it's like Yorkshire pudding and all that.' Then she stands there waiting for him to eat it even though she was the one who was all excited to try jhhfjjdkf

And when she does like it the house Never gets quiet for there. She's all "Yeessss, snaps to this!!" or going "Okay, chef!". Everytime Ansi come in the room she's complimenting her (with another piece in her hand)

But on the inverse, since Diane LOVES soul food and is so greedy her food is A LOT.

Everything need Adobo and Larry's and Old Bay Seasoning. (Yes all three) Everything needs butter. Salty as hell and if it's spicy it's damn near too hot to taste.

She loads up the plate with cornbread AND yams AND mac & cheese, then hands it to them like it's lunch. Why'd she make so much goddamn collard greens? Wakes up in the morning like 'ya'll want sum grits and shrimp?" Ma'am it's 9am.

She makes all this heavy ass buttery food, eats the whole thing then looks at Ansi and Hobie like

"Ya'll not hungry?? - I'm hungry. This is good food - Hobie you okay you ain't finish"

and it's like yeah cause it looks like you deep-fried this burger in lard the man has heartburn

Pavi says she's tryna fatten everyone up like the witch from Hansel & Gretel but she's just trying to make sure everyones soul is FED OKAY

#who eats candied yams with lunch? Well she made Ansi candied yams as lunch #spidersonas #spidersona #spiderman #spider man #hobie brown #atsv #across the spiderverse
