#organic baking

[hey-howsitgoin]

So I made some absolutely decadent cruffins this week for work. They're baked with spiced apples rolled up inside and a streusel on top. Then after they cooled, I filled them with a custard whipped cream flavoured with a housemade whiskey-caramel sauce then drizzled more of said sauce over top. At my workplace, we make a different kind of cruffin every weekend, but this is the most over-the-top one we've done since I've taken over making them and I couldn't be more proud 😁

i need the people complaining about vagina symbols to be so serious right now. why are you not in Japan protesting a parade where they carry around a dick statue. when is your flight to Saint Petersburg where you will sabotage a museum for showing Rasputin's dick. you most likely passed by like 12 dick drawings while walking home from work yesterday. are these drawings the cause of collapse of the western world too or is it just when feminists celebrate their female bodies they've been degraded for since forever.

#this is about right wing men panicking about some feminist group baking vagina shaped cupcakes for themselves that i saw some time ago #only one of these organs is a whole weapon by the way but that's another conversation #radblr

#propaganda #actual polls coming tomorrow #my search terms must look very strange #apparently there's a business called amborella organics that makes candy #unfortunately I do not have a substitute for baking powder #it will be a very flat cake #if you want to use bananas in place of eggs vote monocots #applesauce is still eudicots though #technically sugar could be from eudicots if it comes from sugar beets

The cool thing about me is that I actually grew up reading those big Adventure Time books in the library and often they included Fionna & Cake stories (I think they have a whole book too) but a lot of them featured Marshall Lee & Gumball and I instantly shipped the two because it just made so much sense and was super obsessed with them and to now see a full Fionna & Cake spinoff (amazing concept btw I been saying this for literal decades) and tension is ALREADY high for these two I’m too geeked

#AND HE’S BLACK YESSSS #also side note I LOVE how they integrated princess bubblegum’s formulated organized mindset into his baking routines #it’s so good like #also coffee shop date🥹we won #adventure time #fionna & cake #gay gay homosexual gay #marshall lee #prince gumball #gary prince #gary gumball #gumlee #princess bubblegum #marceline #at fionna and cake

the desire to work on bus fic

vs

the desire to work on one of my many wips now that i did the game and am thinking about them again

#i have so many half baked ideas #so many ideas i want to work on #fanfic struggles #like why does my brain do this to me #pick one story and focus you useless organ #the last of us fanfiction #tlou fanfiction #on the road again (there i go) #joel and ellie #the last of us

Buddy all of your theories hinge on Dany being mad/Jon has to put her down like she's a fucking dog or something and Arya being no one/sailing across the seven seas and never to be seen again/dying in Nymeria to make Jonsa happen.

The call is coming from inside your fucking house.

#jonrya and jonerys exists in the narrative and is baked in well enough #that we don't have to theorise anything awful happening to sansa for them #like we just need to read the fucking books dude #the quotes say it all and we can pull them up no problem #you can't come up with anything positive for sansa organically #because every theory you propose comes at the cost of other characters because you hate them so fucking much #folks say you're obsessed BECAUSE YOU FUCKING ARE BUDDY

i've had dysfunctional Honda family on the brain lately, and i got to thinking about Katsuya's sister—better known as Tohru's bitchy aunt who had no respect for Tohru's boundries and treated her like shit. she and Tohru's cousins are set up as an inconsequential first boss, out of Tohru's life and the story halfway through the first act, and then she's barely in the series ever again. canon-wise there's not really much to be said about her: she's a shrill, selfish woman who's basically a Japanese Karen. there isn't anything more to her character, and in the context of the story there doesn't need to be.

but i just got to thinking—what was she like as a kid? what was it like for her growing up, when she had a strict and uncompromising father, a mother who died when she was a teen/young adult, and an older brother who grew up frustrated and repressed?

Tohru's grandfather said that he and Katsuya were always struggling, with Katsuya striving to meet his father's unfair expectations and Tohru's grandfather (who henceforth is going to be called Toshiro bc i can't keep typing out "Tohru's grandfather") unwilling to accept that his son wasn't the person Toshiro wanted him to be. imagine having to live in a house where your older brother and your father are always fighting, where your brother slowly becomes a different person over the years and your father won't stop pointing out everything that's "wrong" with your brother.

(i think it's also important to note that the story takes place approximately from 1999-2001, which means Toshiro is very firmly from the war generation. that almost certainly influenced his values and approach to life, from the sharp focus on education to how he expected "good etiquette" from his children. and i dunno—not to drag a far bigger can of worms into the mix, but i think there is something to be said about how horrific worldwide cruelty deflates into systematic national cruelty which trickles down into mundane societal cruelty that somehow becomes "just the way things are", which feeds nicely into the series' themes of generational trauma and how people come to normalize abuse.)

we don't know much about the Hondas' domestic life, but we do know this: Toshiro was unhappy with his kids and his kids were unhappy with their father. then the mother died and Toshiro lost what was probably his strongest connection to both of them. Katsuya and Toshiro didn't really get along until after Kyoko came into their lives, which was probably a good several years later. meanwhile, we don't know anything about Toshiro's relationship with his daughter, but clearly there isn't the same kind of bad blood between them as there was Katsuya and Toshiro.

and it's just. Katsuya's sister. his younger sister, the one who grew up beside him. a woman who married a faceless (but respectable) man, who has enough money to take vacations and hire private detectives and completely renovate houses, who looks down on Kyoko and can't stop judging her own brother's child for being raised by an ex-delinquent.

do you ever think about it? how the unnamed sister spent her formulative years in a house that was never at peace. her father was proud and stubborn, clearly not willing to deal with anything other than what HE thought was right. her mother likely tried to play peacekeeper, because that's often what the wife is reduced to in a fight between family members, and who knows what her relationships with her kids were like in the face of that. her brother started out as someone like Tohru, but slowly became a different person as their father's expectations pressured him into walling off entire parts of himself. she constantly heard her father talk derisively about Katsuya for being less than his ideal (maybe even to Katsuya's face). and she clearly comes from a high-status family who have no qualms with being assholes toward "unsavory" family members, if the flashbacks to Katsuya's funeral are anything to go by. every time she met with family—aunts and uncles, grandparents, cousins, in-laws, what have you—she was reminded that you had to marry the right sort of person or you would be openly sneered at, receive no help or support, and be virtually disowned.

do you ever think about how she probably absorbed her father's ideas of an acceptable life because that's all she ever learned to value? how she took cues from her other family members and crafted a respectable persona that they would all approve of? that she possibly dotes on her family and supports her son's dream because she never got any of that love and acceptance for herself? her life is one of a stereotypical upper-middle-class suburban housewife, the kind who's obsessed with status and appearances to the point of becoming a shallow, cruel miniboss in a story about far worse cruelties and far less shallow motivations.

listen. listen. Tohru's aunt is an annoying person but also one that's easy to read. she felt "uneasy" around Kyoko. she wanted her son to succeed in life. she judged Tohru—a sweet girl who had literally never done anything of suspicion in her entire life—solely because of Tohru's parentage. she loved her father. she thought her father would support her in deriding the "distasteful" member of the family and she was wrong. she lost her mother at a young age. she refused to see Kyoko as worthy of respect. she thought Tohru was a delinquent like Kyoko who was shacking up with three strange men, but she still called to inform Tohru of Toshiro's illness and offered to go to the parent-teacher's conference with Tohru. her own father called her and her children "nasty by nature." she is a product of her childhood and also a deeply unpleasant person because she never chooses to extend compassion or kindness to others, much less any inklings of good faith.

and it all drives me a little nuts because Tohru's aunt is decidedly a minor character, and i don't think much thought was put into her characterization or backstory—she's the shitty judgmental family member who's there to be a roadblock for Tohru, and that's it. but the nuggets of information we get on Katsuya's past also creates a path for his sister's backstory, one that points to a quietly dysfunctional family, high pressure to be an acceptable member of society, and other unfortunate circumstances that led her aunt to becoming such a shallow, hardhearted person.

anyway. dysfunctional Honda family is very interesting.

#sorry about the toshiro thing but i simply can't organize a post while being forced to write “tohru's grandfather” every other sentence #toshiro is literally the first japanese name i could think of so it's not that deep or anything lol #anyway i just think it's fascinating reading between the lines #and seeing all the examples of malformed personalities and generational trauma even in the nameless bit characters #i do realize that i made some assumptions here but i think they're sound ones #there's a lot of crumbs and i'm baking a damn cake #fruits basket #tohru honda #tohru's grandfather #tohru's aunt #(ffs these people need names) #analysis #sage speaketh #edited for your convenience #(<-capitalized names and reworked a bunch of wording)

modern xiao-yu is a little domestic bao? he likes helping a-yuan pack his lunch for school? and helping jiang cheng make breakfast.

He's a housewifely little jiaozi (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠)

#asks #domestic bao xiao-yu is my kryptonite #he helps his dads bake! he knows how to sew! #he's organizing things and learning how to spoon-feed his baby sisters! #packing his gege's lunch! #(⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠) my baby #i love him #lan xiaohui

love rubbing tiger balm onto an ache, then putting a hot water bottle on top. i have marinated and now am stewing myself. to pain relief.

#some may say baking instead of stewing but i know the truth i know what's inside humans #it's all liquids and organ meats

I absolutely love the scene of Joyce trying to make small talk with Spike in the season 2 finale. I wish we'd gotten way more scenes of her being an awkward suburban mom around monsters

#btvs #give me an episode where Joyce learns that Sue Ellen down the street is a werewolf #and has to organize the PTA bake sale with her #“So does your son play football? Oh was that insensitive? Should I have not assumed he'd be good at fetching a ball?”

from a visual standpoint classic black/white wing aesthetic is hard to beat but......

i do miss the book detail that angel and demon wings are indistinguishable (barring typical grooming habits ofc lmao). like sure it's a very obvious metaphor but with where we are right now with tv gomens there're like, unconscious tendencies to fall back to traditional vibes/tropes despite the "both are bad" narrative?

or maybe it's a product of the show playing up the religious trauma whereas the book is way more blase about it and that's what im comfortable with emotionally speaking. like crowley is bothered by being a demon more because his bosses are homicidal rather than by falling itself bc if its just names it doesn't truly matter which side he got kicked out of does it. and bookphale's disillusionment as more a mental process? than an emotional one, on top of him being more subversive than tvphale from the start. but the tv show commits to more than surface level differences

......anyway the point is. tv omens valid i guess but it lends itself to more conventional dramatic portrayals/vibes which tends to take me out when i see it in fic

also i miss the colorful creative wing designs people used to do lol.

#good omens #aziraphale #crowley #ineffable husbands #sorry this is vague and weird #also its just personal preference there also used to be fic like that #theres just a LOT more now ig #also comes with a/c being more exceptional in the show rather than midlevel joes in the book along with like #EXPLICITLY saying average demon NOT so totally vile actually!! ligur and hastur who evil maliciously 10000 times per day are outliers and s #one thing i appreciated about s2: muriel saraquel beelzebub falling in love. a/c ARE special yes but a lot of it was circumstance #one day my thoughts will be organized and have one point instead of scattered half-baked but not today #anyway!!! i hope general drift is comprehensible
