'A Kiss," said Mogget sleepily. "Actually, just a breath would do. But you have to start kissing someone sometime, I suppose." "A breath?" she asked. She didn't want to kiss just any wooden man. He looked nice enough, but he might not be like his looks. A kiss seemed too forward.

Hannah and Haele literally lose their MINDS over snacks and Ali, as always, talks about her guinea pigs.

As discussed in our most recent episode, Ali is riding a guinea pig for her valiant steed. Honestly, she seems pretty pleased. Reblog for love and literature! And girls with swords!

Seniors get to do all the jolly things," Owen complained as they walked to archery practice that first day. Neal glared at the chubby second-year with all the royal disdain of a vexed lion. He was limping from a staff blow to the knee. "You are a bloody minded-savage," he informed Owen sternly. "I hope you are kidnapped by centaurs.'

Hey guys!

So I’m an avid, yet clumsy baker. I like to experiment and also spend half my time running to the bodega for more ingredients. It was Haele’s idea for me to bake some “faerie cakes” for the Wicked Lovely episode, and of course they had to be Summer Court and Winter Court themed!

Summer Court Cakes (honey cupcakes with honey cream cheese frosting)

For this one, I basically used this recipe exactly, and they were so good. I want to put honey cream cheese frosting on everything, for the rest of my life, basically.

Winter Court Cake (chocolate cake with lavender frosting)

This one was a little different! I’ve made chocolate cake a bunch of times, but wanted to make this one extra moist. 

I used this recipe for the cake. I had to use white vinegar in milk for the buttermilk, which sounds gross but it worked great! I also replaced the coffee with boiling water. The batter was basically a liquid, but it was really moist once it was baked! 

The frosting was a bit more complicated. It was one big, messy, and in the end delicious experiment. I could only find recipes Lavender icing, but I really prefer buttercream, so I made lavender milk an added it to a typical buttercream recipe.

Ingredients 2 tablespoons milk 1 tablespoon dried lavender 3 cups confectioner’s sugar 1 cup butter violet food coloring (optional)

You only really need 2 tablespoons of lavender milk, but my suggestion would be to make extra. Boil the milk and lavender in a small saucepan. As soon as it starts to boil, remove from heat and strain. I used a loose leaf tea strainer and pressed the milk out of the lavender with the back of a spoon.

Then, mix the sugar and butter until creamy, for about three minutes. Slowly add the lavender milk. This is where it’s tricky. Add enough to taste the lavender but not too much that you loose the fluffy consistency of the frosting. 

I also mixed a little red and blue food coloring so it’d be light purple, and sprinkled some lavender on top!

Wicked Lovely- Melissa Marr

[nafpodcast]

Here’s Haele’s beautiful Wicked Lovely illustration! Summer girls dancing and winter girl frowning: I think a lot of us can relate. 

[nafpodcast]

This week we discuss Melissa Marr's Wicked Lovely, a story about hot faeries and a girl who's about to lose her mortality and become their Queen . (Hannah would trade places with her any day.)

[nafpodcast]

We play Fuck, Marry, Kill with characters from Melissa Marr's Wicked Lovely. We don't usually agree on things as quickly and easily as we do in this clip. It just takes romance with the fair folk to get us there.
