Greek Mythology: Ambrosia & Nectar

I’ve always loved mythology and workin’ in the kitchen, so after watching Percy Jackson and Disney’s Hercules, I decided to combine those two loves.

In Greek mythology it was believed that the gods had a special food and drink that granted the gift of immortality. The food was called ambrosia and the drink was called nectar. Historians believe, had this food really existed, it would be made with honey, since the ancient Greeks believed that it had healing powers and may have possibly granted immortality.

I took the idea of honey and ran wild with it for this recipe. I also used mostly ingredients that the ancient Greeks would’ve had access to, but also tried to make the cake decedent enough that only the most powerful of the gods would be able to eat it.

For the ambrosia, you will need:

2 Cups of all-purpose flour ½ Cup white sugar 1 TB baking powder 1 Cup plain Greek yogurt ½ Cup honey 3 Eggs 1 TS vanilla extract 1 Cup diced apples ½ Cup diced figs (I used dried)

For decoration, you will need 2 apples, finely sliced, and one pear, also finely sliced. If you want to get extra fancy like I did, 4 dried figs to go neatly on top. For the glaze, you will need 2 cups of honey and 2 cups of heavy whipping cream.

To make the ambrosia, you will need to first preheat your oven to 350°F. Next, grease up a couple 9 inch pans with butter, shortening, or canned oil like PAM.

Whisk together the dry ingredients and mix the wet ingredients separately. Once they’re nice and well blended, add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and whisk them together. The batter should be thick but not doughy.

Once the dry and wet have been thoroughly combined, add the diced fruits. I added one cup of both apples and figs, so if you like either or dislike either, you can put in as much, or little, as you like, as long as you don’t go over two cups total.

Once you’ve folded in your fruit, pour the batter into the prepared baking pans, then bake for 35 minutes.

While the cake is baking, measure out 2/3 cups of honey and 2/3 cups of cream, twice. Pour them into two bowls and heat individually in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds. After it’s heated, stir until it’s well combined.

Next, soak the sliced apples in one bowl of honey cream and soak the sliced pear in another bowl. If you have to put some of the apple in the pear bowl, that’s fine. I left the peels on, so it’d be easier to tell them apart, but if you peel them, the shape and texture will be different. Pears are softer and longer.

Let the fruit soak until the cake is done baking and has cooled. Once the cake is cool, remove it from the pans and onto separate plates.

Decorate one cake with the sliced fruit. Lay the slices in a ring any way you’d like, then place the 4 figs in the middle. Drizzle some of the honey cream over the fruit. There should be fruit and honey cream left, which should be saved to go with the plain cake.

And, voila, you’ve made ambrosia! My end result:

Next, for the nectar, you will need:

¼ Cup pomegranate juice ¼ Cup grape juice ½ Cup honey cream Rose Water to taste

All you need to do for this is combine all ingredients into a glass and mix well. Add ice, and it’s ready to drink! Once you’ve mixed it all, it should look like this:

If you want to make the nectar more interesting, only use ¼ cup of the honey cream, and replace the other ¼ with honey flavored vodka, or if you can find it, mead. You can also replace the grape juice with wine.

If you can’t find rose water or don’t like it, the drink is still delicious without it. I couldn’t find any at my local grocery store, but to me, nectar should have just a touch of floral flavor, so next time I make it, I will have rose water.

Anyway. That’s the recipe! I hope you have fun making it and eating it like I did, and if you want to see more fictionally-inspired food, keep an eye on this blog for updates!

Oh no! Princess Unattainable!

Yknow rewatching gravity falls makes you realize how batshit insane Ford truly was

1. Lights his face on fire instead of shaving because “it’s faster”

2. Suggests Rudolph should’ve murdered the other reindeer for making fun of him

3. Had a situationship with a triangle

Correction: He's allowed to kiss and fuck this SCP. We are about to marry behind the O5 Council's back anyway.

Can I kiss the SCPs?

No you can not kiss the scps, and if you wish to do so we will report you to HR.

Well you can if they give consent.

I wanna make H4's story official someday but I'm too afraid to because I'd be mentioning Bright a lot. And as the two slowly develop a relationship behind O5's back, Tamlin being the only one who knows because they're the embodiment of time and they also see how happy they are together thus chooses to keep it shut, I'm sure many users would deliberately make it out as H4 is underage to put more dirt on Bright as a character. So let me confirm it here, H4 is 21 at capture and they don't officially start dating Bright until years later. The only exception is the SCP Daycare AU but there the dynamic shifts too entirely. Instead of being romantically involved, Bright and H4 built a found family kind of relationship.

Feeling rant-ish today so I’ve just been thinking that it’s kinda sad that Bright users/fans have become as excluded/outcasted as those odd RPC people because unlike those sexist, transphobic, and homophobic users, our only transgression was simply liking a character. Also I know I’ll have people saying I’m exaggerating or that Bright users are just playing victims, but I seriously dare anyone that thinks that way to try and talk casually about Bright anywhere near a wiki space, because you’ll quickly be talked down too, cut off, or completely ignored, and to add salt to the wound the people treating you like that will be the same one’s who looked the other way when the very predator was still active.

It may not be as bad here on Tumblr although you still have some big name artists that seem to think Bright users/fans are the bane of their existence, but to be fair their are some Bright users that also seem to have a largely unwarranted vendetta against rewrite users as well, they are much smaller accounts in comparison to the rewrite users to note however. Strangely enough the least volatile space for Bright users seems to be Twitter of all places, because for once the hellbird app is one of the most sane. YouTube commentators don’t seem to care about the drama at all and just want Bright content. Reddit is spilt right down the middle, and Discord servers vary greatly, obviously. Ao3 sticks with Bright thankfully and I don’t have enough information about TikTok or Instagram to come to a conclusion about either of them.

I will still be keeping tabs on all spaces I currently watch over to make sure they are safe for Bright users because no one deserves to be excluded for simply liking a character, and I judge those who exclude us much more then I judge those who simply choose to continue using Bright or those who are neutral and choose use their own character/Shaw.

Putting this here for no reason in particular, but you cannot be transphobic or homophobic and be a part of the scp fandom, at least in the EN part. Although the fandom may have had a rocky past when it came to being accepting especially in the early 2010’s, the fandom has made large strides towards being more inclusive for everyone, and of all the fandoms I’ve been it has the largest number of trans and queer creators and community members. However you insist on being a bigot perhaps that rpc place would be more suitable for you, if that place is even still around.

Aisha Jane Bright and Caden James Bright as envisioned by Copilot. 10/10, would recommend. Never turning to commissions ever.

They are Dr. Bright and H4's children, both anomalous. Aisha is a reality bender, but she doesn't discover it until adulthood and Caden is a polymorph.

Videogame Scene concept

Nearing final act of the game the heroes are fighting a Devil named Dakuth. As he reaches the 30% HP left mark the fight stops as a young voice calls for him. He excuses himself claiming it's an emergency and turns to leave the scene, forcing the party into a branched option.

They could let him be and recharge then follow him to see what exactly lured him away, or ambush him while he's vulnerable and win the fight.

Let's walk through each path:

Allowing Dakuth to comfort the child: The party is given the opportunity to explore the chamber and look for hidden treasure, weapons, armor and potions. From here follow Dakuth to the kid's room to find him singing in Infernal, soothing the crying werepup, who had a nightmare. The player is then given the option to call it a truce and leave him be or resume with the fight.

Leaving Dakuth be: return post-game to see Dakuth and the werewolf sparring. Dakuth changed entirely and the kid joins the party voluntarily as Dakuth's Warlock. They specialize in cold magic both melee and ranged,. making them a pretty useful party member.

Finishing the fight: The party ends the boss fight and slay Dakuth, leaving the werepup alone and abandoned once more. This may or may not unlock a post-game boss fight taking place in the Neverwinter Wood.

Ambushing Dakuth while he's vulnerable: There is no need to roll for damage, the player automatically wins the fight. Then they receive a quest: Silence The Child. Follow the quest arrow to the werepup's bedroom and face another decision: Soothe the child or Slay the child.

Soothing the child: the heroes start looking for items scattered in the room to calm the werepup who is constantly crying out for "dada". The most efficient item is a book of lullabies and rhymes written in Infernal. You need at least one party member to either speak the language or have access to the Comprehend to read from it. The child will then join the party as a passive member, unlocking the Full-time Babysitter achievement. Later on during the adventures as the kid matures they unlock actions of their own they can perform and lead the party through safe short cuts on their way to the final boss fight, as well as uncover hidden treasures, repaying the player for the trouble of raising them.

Killing the child: Considering it's a werepup and it was under the influence of a Fiend, the party can decide to prevent a potential catastrophe and end the child's life there and then, winning them the Extinction Party achievement. Moving forward, the party will face nations attacking them which could've been avoidable. Going back to change the decision will unlock a secret: the werepup will be floating above its bed like a ghost, its body lying on the floor with flies circling above. Interacting with the ghost will get the party the Consequences achievement and trigger the following lines in random order, one in each interaction:

It's too late for that now.

Why?

Why did you hurt me?

I want my dada.

I just had a bad dream.

I dreamt that you hurt dada.

Maybe it's not a dream at all.

Where's dada?

Special lines if the player is a Drow Paladin:

Are you one of them?

Why did you hurt mommy?

She's not waking up... Why isn't she waking up?

Do you remember their whimpers too?

Special lines if the player chooses to kill them after saving them in a previous playthrough:

I thought you loved me.

Weren't we friends?

Remember the fun we had?

Could we start again?

I promise I'm a good pup.

To fix this, although the game will remember, delete the save file from the device and start over. If you chose to soothe the werepup after killing it the kid will ask the player a question: "Why did you kill me beforehand? I was just a pup."

Achievements:

Full-time Babysitter: adopt an underage NPC and raise them to adulthood.

Extinction Party: Slay the last living member of a race.

Consequences: Face the ghost from your past.
