I’m sorry to have an influencer moment on here but I’m not lying when I say that these Tomato Cheddar Toasts from NYT cooking are hands down one of the best meals I have ever cooked for myself in my entire life (and I’ve been cooking daily for like 12 years lol) and they take like five minutes, most of which is spent waiting for the bread to toast. The recipe is paywalled so I’ll just say you take cheddar cheese and shred it on the tiniest side of your box grater/microplane, then mix together a 1:1 ratio of mayo and cheddar. Then when the bread is piping hot from being toasted you spread it on there (like a tbsp or two per bread) and the heat causes them to melt together into this insane creamy tangy spread. Then top with tomatoes and salt.
I have been eating tomato toasts almost every day this summer and I thought I had my formula down pat, but then I tried these and it changed my world. Genuinely a contender for last meal on earth if I had to choose. I have eaten it with every single meal since I got back from my backpacking trip except one bc I was invited to a potluck. I know my username might make you think I’m just overzealous but please for the love of god if you eat dairy and gluten and love tomatoes (and have access to some good ones) I am begging you to try this. On the left is the recipe pic and on the right is one of the ones I made. and like it doesn’t matter if no one tries this I just want this in my tomato tag to commemorate this unbelievable toast because I’m in a new era of my life for real
hi GT! thanks again for the great chapter—loved it (as usual).
just wanted to come on here to sing you praises with just how well you write touch/physical affection especially in the most recent chapter’s first half: draco & hermione being v touchy while entering hogsmeade vs. draco’s jealousy with ron + hermione, and how you depicted draco’s reaction to both (i.e., his awareness on just how not-platonic his actions were vs failing to see that ron and hermione might not be also sharing the same thing) and the way his jealousy flares up. it’s starkly real and engaging and you just leave us wanting more.
just wondering: would there be more platon-ish (or more) moments in the realm of Lionheart, since the books were PG?
hope u have a good day!!
Thank you very much! I hope you have a good day, too.
I think of Lionheart right now as a story that rides the line between PG-13 and R (for gore, and I guess also technically for swearing, since there's been more than one "fuck.") Those things will only scale up as the story goes on, to an extent that will soon surpass the books. If the original series can be split up into "children's / young adult" around the lynchpin of Book 4, I think of the volumes of Lionheart as "children's / young adult / new adult." New adult is, naturally, more capacious as a genre than young adult is, and I'm cautiously feeling out my comfort level in the new territory it opens up.
To be completely honest, I'm still making up my mind on how far to push past canon there. I know that explicit scenes are common and welcomed in the D/H fanfic space, to an extent even expected, but the jury is out on how much it will be relevant/necessary/something that I'll enjoy writing. (I'm aware that this is a totally confusing and not helpful answer. Friend, I also wish it was not like this.) Basically, I'm just trying to figure out what the story needs.
I guess the most I can say currently is that I'd definitely be comfortable writing it — I've written it before — and for the rest, I'll play it by ear.
hi, i checked faqs and was gonna scroll asks, but didn't know how to search on your tumblr and avoid spoilers entirely. what is the word count for all of the night market in total and the approx. word count for a singular readthrough?
The total count all together is 1,166,001 words. I'd say that an average playthrough of a route is somewhere around 300k. Give or take. It's hard to tell what it would accurately be. I can tell you though from my Steam stats, it looks like an average play through for someone is anywhere between 10 to 12 hours of solid reading, depending on how fast a reader they are.
Bringing In The Lords of Chaos, Bringing Up The Beasts of Hades: I've noticed throughout my perusals that Raquel Welch's famed pinup from "One Million Years B.C." and Tom Chantrell's one-sheet art for the film have been cribbed fairly often for use in other promotional material in movie posters, pulp novels, and comic art throughout the years.
I just discovered your Garashir adoption AU and I ADORE IT!!! i am literally in love with the ideas and your art style and omg sjsnsjksjsnsjsns ✨💖🥰🥺❤️🔥
Anyway my important questions are these: Can you tell me how old the children are? And pls tell me that they whole family has like a gigantic bed on which they can all cuddle together?!
That's it, thank you for your time and the amazing contribution you have made to this fandom, it's utterly beautiful <3
Hope u have a good day!
AWWWGHHH THANK YOU!!! I'M SO GLAD PEOPLE ARE ENJOYING THIS SANDBOX WITH ME!
This was as good an opportunity as any to sit down and sort of get a babby timeline together..
(yea med student handwriting lol)
which would put everyone (at one discrete snapshot in time) at I think -
Jocasta is older than Iskra! but came in to the family later. and is much less.... much. So it's easy to forget that.
As to big nestbed.. when he's younger Idan crawls into Julian and Garak's bed every once in a while because dadek is a sentient warm water bottle, but all his siblings swat him afterward and tell him that it's disrespectful to violate your honored parents' space like that. Nesting is for siblings! A Cardassian social space where you can literally let your hair down and share warmth.
Unfortunately for Young Elim that means that everyone's rowdy and wiggly in the evenings when he'd rather be sleeping, but that's the tradeoff for getting to use the shared comfy bed instead of the one in the attic where he'd have to sleep otherwise.
Both of these are up for pre-order in my shop now! Please check the Shipping page to see whether I'm able to ship to your country and make sure you're okay with the estimated ship date (late Oct/early Nov) before purchasing~

(i hope those still in shizaya nation in the year 2023 like these bbs...i made them with love [& csp & photoshop & not enough sleep] 🤲)
i am going to take a shower and i am going to get into bed and i am going to read my book and i will stop fucking thinking for five minutes and fall the fuck asleep
What's the most expensive watch we got our hands on when we started out (2012-2013)? Here it is. The Richard Mille RM52-01 Skull Tourbillon, $680,000 at the time (2012-2013). How much do you think this watch is worth now? 🤷
