Status update on the dark relic nsfw comic please ma'am 🙏 my family is dying
Tumblr media
ITS DONE!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉...well, the DRAWING part is as of yesterday BAHAHA. now im just adding all the dialogue/speech bubbles/sfx, SO ITS DEFINITELY GONNA BE SOON!! DEFS BY THIS WEEKEND!! ive just been very nitpicky on the font which i cant decide on LMAO and im also nitpicky abt other final touches LOL. i didnt wanna show anymore cuz ive already shown so much but HERES THE FINAL SNEAK PEEK
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and speaking of fonts, i normally use handwriting by jeremy paz!
Tumblr media
oh man its so random, but i either use the name lumi or clora for everything whenever i play rpgs (baldurs gate 3, dragon age, you name it) and clora originated from rune factory 4 LOL. theres a character named 'clorica' and i really liked that name, it sounds so elegant and fantasy ish, so i eventually just shortened it to clora bahaha. now its my go-to. i like how simple it is but it also sounds unique and works in modern AND fantasy settings, imo
Tumblr media
my first and ONLY playthrough was as clora! i originally did try to make myself at the start, but i have short brown hair and straight across bangs, and they didnt have a style that felt 'me', so i went with just making a ravenclaw that i liked, and then gave her my go-to name of clora HAHA. and yea, i built up her and sebs relationship in my head as i was playing, especially with all the running around the castle i did. i just liked to imagine her constantly out of breath and flushed and seb just watching like ....🧍girl chill...
Tumblr media
AND SPEAKING OF MY DARK RELIC COMIC/SMUT, my biggest advice for writing smut id say is to have a reasoning behind it, i guess? i focus a lot on their headspace/WHY they're fucking at that moment when i write it LOL instead of just the movements/sex for the sake of sex. in your case, the sexual tension leading up to the first time gives you SO much to work with, since you can just be in his head with how much hes looking forward to it, how much hes savouring it, how he's also nervous but enjoying it and trusting the other person, etc. the thoughts are hotter than the actual deed a lot of the times (which is why when clora and seb did it for the first time it ended up being like, 15k words of just foreplay and build up from sebs perspective LMAOO) so yeah id just try to focus on their emotions and desires if you can! and a lot of the times with consent stuff it CAN feel forced, and you dont even really need your characters to talk about that stuff verbally, at least not too much. you can do it in body language, or just something as simple as 'ill stop if you want'. it doesnt have to be a long therapist-like conversation about consent, which CAN tend to sound a little awkward and unrealistic (esp in the heat of the moment), if thats the problem you're having. HOPE I COULD HELP
Tumblr media
also i love this for you and for me. YES GO ON AND MAKE A BUNCH OF CLORA CLONES, I COMMAND IT👉👉👉
Tumblr media
and last but not least the most important question. honestly i like plain sweets a lot with no icing/filling. im a slut for shortbread cookies and also just plain glazed donuts. and also custard/portugese/egg tarts, which i also forced clora to like in my fic HAHA. IF YOU HAVENT HAD THEM YOU HAVE TO, THEYRE SO GOOD😩😩💖💖

Thanks for your answer! About pre-contact vs post colonization, it's always about how writers pick and choose what aspect of the culture they'll depict to be "authentic".
I thought of when you mentioned Inuit Christianity and how prayer rituals worked its way into the culture, as well as your mention about the stilt houses of King Island. Perhaps the time periods do not fit, but I would have loved to have seen references to this in atla.
But these aspects are things writers wouldn't portray because it doesn't fit their image of "Inuit". It all plays into that romantization of "pre-contact natives" that genuinely miss accuracy of the groups they're trying to represent.
I think it could have had a place in the show, as it makes reference to both eastern and western influence regardless of different time periods. It would be a lot more familiar and accurate to current-day Inuit culture, and it doesn't have to be sacrificed for aesthetic.
Something else, but regarding teaching different cultures to children, there's lot of cited concerns about them not understanding the nuances. But honestly at that age, children are still learning their own household's culture, so little details about others are as confusing as their own. Those little details contribute to bigger understanding than what we give credit to, so there isn't anything to be afraid when portraying forgein lifestyles to kids.
Re: the show having eastern and western influences; i'm not sure people understand the extent of things that showed up in the atlaverse that had to be brought into Asia through European or American influence. Off the top of my head: custard tarts, sunflowers, corn, glasses, and the whole concept of earth, water, fire, and air as the four elements. That bit in the Kyoshi book about people eating sweet potatoes when they have no rice is a thing that happened in Japan, but the sweet potatoes themselves were introduced to Japan by the Portugese. I'm sure the list goes on.
And this may be a bit off topic but I genuinely do not care that Varrick and Zhu Li have a Christian-style wedding. We Inupiat did not have elaborate wedding ceremonies pre-Christianization and to insist that we must have had them because everyone did is incredibly ignorant and imposing of one's idea of whst makes up a "real culture" which i daresay is quite a colonialist mindset.
I also wouldn't chalk this idea of accuracy being held over and interest in factual accuracy up to romanticization, but rather fetishization. To fetishize a people is not necessarily to make a sexual fetish of them (though that can be a by-product) but to dehumanize them by treating them not as a people but as an emblem of a concept or collection of concepts. When Natives are fetishized, we're typically reduced to nature, superstisious godlessness, brutality of tribal warfare, pain, stifling traditions, mysterious languages, technological primitiveness, weird food, and quaint little stories with ancient wit. For as long as people benefit from colonizing us, we will always be so fetishized because if we weren't, people would have to question their part in the system. And that's pretty uncomfortable to think about over Thanksgiving dinner. It's bigger than Nickelodeon and Avatar but I'm also not going to celebrate the fact it took them 17 years to be peer-pressured into hiring Native actors to play characters from their stereotypically Native-coded fantasy culture.
As for those concerns, kids may not understand nuance but they do understand details and context more often than not. The most you'll ever need is an outsider audience surrogate character to ask questions and an insider friend character to answer them honestly. Kids understand that.

Autumn Signature Bakery Box
- French Onion Brioche Think French onion soup in equally comforting form. Fried shallots and caramelized onions feature in this soft, fluffy brioche, which is then glazed with smoked beef fat and veal stock reduction for a savoury, umami finish.
- Cinnamon Kouign Amann Using Vietnamese cinnamon for its robust aroma and flavour, this pastry has a crunchy outer shell from the caramelization of cinnamon sugar that contrasts the soft and buttery layers within.
- Autumn Pumpkin Danish Inspired by the flavors of Morocco, this Danish sees the popular autumn fruit in three textures: puree with cream cheese and cumin, pumpkin roasted over apple wood embers, and pumpkin seed praline.
- Egg Custard Crown Chef Elena's take on one of her favourite treats: the Portugese egg tart. The laminated mille-feuille shell encases a fragrant egg custard infused with Madagascan vanilla.
- Pecan "Pie" Cookie Another fall favorite, reimagined. Made with toasted pecans and Valhrona Caramelia 36% milk chocolate for the rich, burnish taste profile of autumn that we love.

I'm sorry! I should've said. They're choux Pastry, they're used to make eclairs or cream puffs. They're hollow on the inside because they puff up in the oven.
So, you know Portugese custard tarts? I'm thinking a custard similar to that with spice and lemon zest and then a little bit of raspberry jam in the centre so it isn't too sweet.
ahhh don't apologize!! you've literally got nothing to be sorry for!
and damnnn does that sound good 🤤 a good eclair bangs!
the timing on this is hilarious bc i didn't know about Portuguese custard tarts till literally a day ago when i watched a youtube short on em 😅 but dang does that sound good asfffffff
bestie, if you open up a bake shop just know im catching the next flight out to NZ because DAMN you cheffing it up!! 🤩

Keto Portugese Egg Custard Tarts
New Post has been published on https://eazywellness.net/keto-portugese-egg-custard-tarts/
Keto Portugese Egg Custard Tarts
These keto Portuguese egg custard tarts have a nutty, crispy crust with a coconut-egg filling that makes for a lovely dessert when you have dinner guests to impress. A dusting of ground cinnamon tops it off, while adding a touch of spice and depth of sweetness.
If you’ve ever had Portuguese egg tarts before, you’ve probably fallen in love with the delectably crispy and crunchy crust and silky smooth egg-filled center. While traditional egg tarts are usually incredibly high in sugar and aren’t as nutritious for you if you’re health-conscious or on a keto lifestyle, our keto-friendly egg tarts are just as indulgent without the added sugar.
Regular puff pastry is high in carbs, so we replace the flour and sugar with almond flour and granulated erythritol. The addition of melted coconut oil leans into the subtle coconut flavor, which works well with the richness of egg yolks in the filling.
Now for the custard. Who doesn’t like the creamy, silky taste of fresh custard? There’s no canned filling here—you’ll want to make everything from scratch to get the best flavor, and it’s as easy as combining the ingredients on top of a heated saucepan, allowing for the gelatin to bind the mix together, and pouring the golden filling into the crust before refrigerating and serving.
Yields 8 servings of Keto Portugese Egg Custard Tarts
The Preparation
Tart Crust:
1 3/4 cup almond flour
4 tablespoon granulated erythritol
pinch salt
5 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
1 large egg
Custard Filling:
1 3/4 cup coconut cream
pinch salt
3 tablespoon granulated erythritol
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ tablespoon unflavored powdered gelatin
2 tablespoon water
6 large egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, for topping
The Execution
1. Gather and prep all ingredients. Pre-heat oven to 350F.
2. Mix together the dry ingredients for the crust in a bowl, then slowly mix in the wet ingredients until you get a crumbly texture.
3. Press the crust mixture into a pie pan, tart shells, or a cupcake tray. If making smaller tarts, make sure to distribute the crust mixture evenly. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes or until it turns a light golden brown color. Remove from oven and cool completely.
4. After the crust cools, work on the custard. In a saucepan, add the coconut cream, erythritol, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Let simmer over medium heat for 8-10 minutes then remove from the heat.
5. Bloom gelatin powder by sprinkling it into cold water and letting rest for 3-4 minutes.
6. In a separate bowl, beat together the egg yolks until light in color and creamy. Once ready, slowly pour in the hot coconut cream mixture while continuously beating the egg yolks until combined and smooth.
7. Pour the custard mixture back into the saucepan and return to the stove over low heat. Add the gelatin mixture and whisk regularly for 4-5 minutes or until the mixture has thickened. Pour the custard mixture into the tart shell(s) and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Enjoy!

What's the Portuguese for "willy-nilly"?
July 12th, 2009
This weekend we played our sole European festival of this year in Lisbon, Portugal. This was our first ever show in Portugal, so was exciting for that reason alone. It was also a rare situation where we arrived in the city the day before the gig, so we actually had time to do stuff and see sights, which was a rare and very welcome treat. Here are some snaps and notes on the weekend.
Tumblr media
We departed from Bristol airport on Friday morning. This meant leaving Cardiff at 4:40AM. Myself and Neil had slept for just a single hour. In hindsight, it seems we may still have been drunk by the time we checked in.
Tumblr media
Ollie’s had a haircut and looks really buff(er) as a result. I described him as looking like Tom Cruise in Top Gun, which, as the above photo attests, is completely accurate. Here Ollie is watching Late Of The Pier play and giving a “thumbs up” gesture to the words “Super Bock” behind him. Super Bock is a Portugese lager, popular with English football hooligans, like ourselves. We allowed our song Death To Los Campesinos! to be used in an advertisment for it. This works out really well for everybody involved, because a) We get a bit of dosh, and people in Portugal have hard of us, so we get to do this festival. b) Super Bock gets a top quality pop tune to go on its advert c) You get to see this picture of Ollie.
Tumblr media
The next day, prior to our pop concert, a group of five of us set off into Lisbon to see the sights and get sun burnt. Usually I don’t like sight seeing, I prefer Football Manager, but I had some big transfer deadline based decisions to mull over, and thought the fresh air would do me some good. Here, I can be seen posing with a big poster advertising Cristiano Ronaldo. I believe it was a succesful advertising campaign as he has, of course, been sold. Note that I am mimicking Ollie’s above pose.
Tumblr media
We walked for ‘bloody miles’ in the search of Lisboa’s castle. When we arrived, we stopped at a lovely little cafe for sustenance. Ollie, Tom and Neil had a custard tart each. See above.
Tumblr media
We walked past a house which had this little bird cage nailed to the side of it. Lovely stuff. This is something I’d definitely like to see more of.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The castle was home to some incredible views. Well worth the blagged two and a half Euro entry, thanks to our expired Student cards.
Tumblr media
This is Ollie stood next to a sunflower. I’m very lucky that Ollie is always very happy to humour my near constant requests that he pose for photos.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
On the way back, after the metro ride, we saw a poster with our name on it. As you can see, the line up on our day was sadly rather uninspired. I would have liked to have seen Lykke Li and Black Eyed Peas, but in the end I was far too drunk/tired to stick around. Mainland Europe parties far too late for me.
Tumblr media
Our concert was a lot of fun. We played a lot better than we should have, considering the minimal practise time we had before hand, and the crowd was incredibly lovely. Got some good football banter in during the set, we totally hammed up the Super Bock business, and my foot went through the stage. Saw something similar on 999 once and the fella lost his leg, so I got off lightly, al in all.
Tumblr media
This morning, at a civilised time, for a change, we flew back to Bristol. Ellen’s a big kinder egg fan. She bought a three pack, and this was one of her gifts. Whilst I was taking this photograph, the arriving flight disembarked and from it emerged CARDIFF CITY FOOTBALL CLUB!! Serious. Whilst I was taking this photo, Tom was laughing because apparently some ginger lad who plays for them gave me a dirty look, either for sitting on the floor, or taking this photo, or for not being ginger, I assume. Couldn’t say. Anybody know who he might have been?

Thoughts on Targeting Quality 2023
It's been a heck of a few years for me, personally and professionally. One thing that I am grateful for is returning to Targeting Quality 2023, the annual conference held by KWSQA. This year the conference was held in Cambridge, Ontario. Here are my thoughts on it.
Overall
The testing community is still a great community. Attendees were engaged, and even as someone who's done primarily test development for his career I was still able to have great discussions with testers about all kinds of topics.
The Talks
The first talk of the day on Presentation day that I saw was Bas Dijkstra's How well do you wield your tools? - The importance of craftsmanship in test automation which was a part of the automation track. One of the key messages in this talk was that test automation can and should be treated like production software development, which is something I've been saying for a long time. It is good to hear that this message is still coming through strong.
Test automation is definitely a mainstream topic in software development, but there's still so much that can be done by application developers in terms of test automation. Concepts like property-based testing, contract testing and security testing are all highly relevant for test development.
Fuzz testing: still not a common topic outside of the security engineering world
Another talk that I enjoyed was The Automation Firehose by Thomas Haver of M&T Bank. This talk gave a great overview of how to think about growing and scaling test automation teams with a superhero theme.
Ben Oconis' talk on breaking down silos in organizations sparked some thoughts from me and folks online about the role of "test specialist" in software organizations. Ben's talk was really good at outlining some organizational aspects to quality, which aren't necessarily "testing" skills but important nonetheless.
On this note, software testing is still a great place to learn about good team building practices. Lean Coffee, for example, is an excellent format for getting engaged folks to talk about a few different subjects in an effective (and time efficient!) manner. There were two sessions of lean coffee lead by Lisa Crispin and Janet Gregory. I attended one of these sessions, and I can't recommend trying lean coffee enough.
My favourite talk of the conference was the keynote, simply entitled STAIRS! by Jenny Bramble and Jenna Charlton. Entertaining and insightful, Jenny and Jenna show great examples of cognitive biases and how they can effect how products get designed using examples of stair designs (some of which were hilarious bad). This keynote showed that people in the testing community are digging into concepts such as design thinking and how that impacts testing work and quality, and doing so ahead of other in the software development world.
The Conference
I have to say: this is one of the best run conferences I have attended. Targeting Quality was 2 days this year, one day of workshops (which I did not attend but heard good things about) and one day of presentations.
The venue was well-prepared and suitable for the purpose, right down to stacks of pens and notepads available all over the place.
Food and drink was great, including delicious Portugese-style custard tarts at breakfast (a local delicacy, in my opinion)
The talks and schedule were well-organized and everything ran pretty much on time throughout the day. This is an underappreciated aspect of any conference, large or small.
Overall, this conference offered a lot of benefits for attendees and speakers. The hall-way track was lively, talks were great quality and speakers were well taken care of. The KWSQA board and Tina Fletcher should receive a round of applause for a great job.

Went to multi culti tonight and eating noodles and egyptian sausages and portugese custard tarts and nutella doughnuts while seeing the Brass Knuckle Brass Band and The Zackerbilks brought the joy after a couple of rough days.
Was bopping along to Zackerbilks and a man asked me to dance. I freaked out and said no too quickly because my back and hip and general dancing insecurity but it's been a long time since a random guy has asked me to dance and it was actually really nice to know it could still happen.

strawberry pastel de nata! really, I prefer just a classic pastel de nata, no strawberry, but I thought I’d give it a go for fun. Cafe de Nata is my favourite place to go for custard tarts in London and the strawberry was quite nice, it had a lining of a strawberry jam almost, inside. I would still go for a classic though, nothing beats it.
I love this place because they are baked all throughout the day so whenever I get one it’s always warm. I just love custard tarts, my favourite.
