#And I pay too much attention to details

[koldusek]

I know it looks funny. And I don't want to be snobby. But I think it will be interesting for someone in the fandom to know what "69" means in numerology

The number 69 has a special energy. 6 in numerology symbolizes the material world, the desire to possess something material, which can often turn into greed, greed and commercialism. 9 reflects the spiritual world, fortitude, personality development. In numerology, the number 69 carries the unity of two opposites: material and spiritual principles

Vanitas is very controversial. He wants to save all the vampires and find out who killed the real Vanitas (this is what I consider his spiritual world). But at the same time, he does not care about his material world at all (you have seen how he put himself in danger more than once. Like this goblin does not care at all about surviving...)

I think his number is 69, which is a very subtle joke from Jun. Vanitas wears a number that should mean a symbol of harmony between soul and body, but he does nothing at all to maintain this harmony. If he cannot achieve harmony between his desires and his body, then he will not be able to successfully complete his journey. And I think it is precisely because of the lack of harmony in him that he will die or "die" at the end of the story

Sorry if this is crooked. I'm learning a language with Duolingo

A silly Korsica comic + Mimosa thing. I have no idea how Korsica's implants work

Was interested in figuring out what sort of interaction there'd be between Korsica and Macaron - I guess they're colleagues through and through but I can't say I thought about it too hard (there were some fun panels to draw here so I went with it). I'm very sure the whole cute angle was done before but I wanted an excuse to get familiar with drawing almost the rest of the crew, and it's fun.

I noticed that you draw Donnie’s fingers really small when they’re in the glove prosthetic. What would it look like if he built them to scale with his canon hands? Or would that be too yaoi adjacent

Yeah um haha I'm just too 💫lazy💫 to draw his hands more accurate, just pretend both his hands and his prostethics are to scale with canon 😬✌

small details i noticed from the bug scene under the cut. aka more insight to Ted's personality. spoilers ig.

the Bug when it goes into walking mode the screens read out "Beast Mode"

the Buttons/switches in The Bug are mislabeled but in the way they are code for silly things.

the switch labeled "BLAST" turns on the music (Kickstart my Heart- which if you know Ted from comics you'd know he has a heart condition).

the switch labeled "STEALTH" activates that "bug fart" which also on the screen reads "cloaking systems Houdini" which i find the escape artist reference cute considering one is one of Ted's friends.

other fun things: The Bug's way of walking and legs are designed to mimic actual scarab beetles which i found so cute, and there's even the fact that she flies out of the water included! loved that.

Also the fact the bug seemingly has some future/advanced tech incorporated and mixed up within it's very retro analog designs and screens. found that interesting. It really gave the feel that this is the og bug he had had since day one and instead of completely redesigning her he kept adding on as time went on.

I'm not really compelled over fyodor lying about there being another war. I believe he lied, and that he contrived those details. But Stormbringer and 55 Minutes make evident that after the Great War, there were lingering resentments and fractionalized treaties and nuclear-esque weapons research. The threat of another war hangs over them like green storm clouds, it's why the tripartite framework even exists.

Fyodor might have lied about the specific image of a war that he painted, but Fukuchi believed him because of the truth that it could happen again, and that it could be much worse than the one before.

The fact that the one time I ranted to one of my best friends about Yu-Gi-Oh! which was when my tired, sleep deprived mind noticed the difference between Ryou's and Yami Bakura's eyes, sent them these pictures and my friend just went:

" When you get possessed but it gives you pretty eyelashes so your just like 'eh' "

Honestly I kinda don't get why we distinguish f!Cell/q!Cellbit and not q!Cell/q!Cellbit since we already have the different nicknames to know which is which

So I think that a good change would be to switch to q!Cell when we're talking about the Cell that is canon to QSMP and f!Cell when talking about Cell that is only canon to Fuga Impossivel since there are quite signficant deifferences between them like:

q!Cell: ate Pac's leg, met Bad before Alcatraz and escaped the island (since now he's on Quesadilla Island)

f!Cell: didn't eat Pac's leg (I'm pretty sure that detail was added later on to the canon but during QSMP so according to Fuga Impossivel it never happened), never met Bad (I don't know 100% because I didn't watch it ngl) and he technically might have as well died on that island

And these are basically key points in q!Cellbits backstory

Also pls correct me if i'm wrong about something i haven't actually watched it

The glitching flower was

foreshadowing Kaufmo had

abstracted

This flower could actually be referencing a 'squinting flower' that some clowns wear. Kaufmo is a clown, and the flower we see is glitching through the floor. And what happens later? Kaufmo abstracts.

Kit's Traybake Pancakes (chocolate chip var.)

Heyo! You may have seen my original pancake traybake (cinnamon apple var.) recipe! If you haven’t, come check it out here! If you have, check again, since I’ve made some crucial changes to the cook time/temp/optional prep after much experimentation!

Well, here’s:

Love eating pancakes but hate making them? This traybake pancake recipe may be for you! Making these gives me enough pancake squares for 6 days (5 if you eat two on the day you make them). They reheat well, can either be eaten with or without maple syrup, and are very customizable! I recommend adding something healthy like fruit or yogurt, and protein powder like I do in this recipe, making it a slightly healthier breakfast than just pure carbs.

Full recipe under the cut! (Reader beware, you're in for a... lot of asides and annotations lol)

Full disclosure, the base for this recipe was the mug pancake recipe from Emma’s Goodies, which you can watch here!

I made this mug pancake for years (except with tripled portions because I was using a very big mug) and it was super delicious! However, for just one mug pancake, it was a bit of a production and didn’t feel super worth it. Thusly, I have adapted the recipe to be made in a 13”x9” baking tray, which makes a whole lot of breakfast.

Base Ingredients:

12 tbsp. butter (I use salted, if you don’t have salted butter, add a very small amount of kosher salt to your recipe)

9 tbsp. (1/2 cup+ 1 tbsp) granulated sugar

12 fl.oz. milk (I use skim, use whatever kind you like)

3 cups all-purpose flour

3 tsp. baking powder

Customizable Ingredients:

1 scoop protein powder (I use vanilla flavored whey)

1/4 cup of brown sugar

1 cup (around 5oz) nonfat strawberry Greek yogurt (pick a good quality brand/one you like)

1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips (for the batter)

Small handful of semisweet chocolate chips (to sprinkle on top)

1/2 cup of semisweet chocolate chips, 1 tbsp of butter, ~2 capfuls of milk (for chocolate drizzle)

Base Instructions:

Heat oven to 375°F, take out a 13”x9” nonstick baking pan and spray bottom and sides with cooking spray (yes theoretically I know you don’t need to spray a nonstick pan but better safe than sorry).

Put butter in a bowl and melt it in the microwave. I recommend microwaving for 1m20s.

Put butter in a stand mixer, preferably with the paddle attachment. While you heat the milk in the microwave* (40 seconds, stir milk once it’s done; I use a glass liquid measuring cup for the microwaving), add the granulated sugar to the mixer. Once the milk is heated, add it and use one of the lower settings on your mixer.

(If you have customizable wet ingredients, add them now!)

Add the flour and baking powder, mix again on low setting until it forms a batter (a small amount of lumps is okay from what I’ve heard, you don’t want to overmix).

*You can’t put cold milk into hot butter, it will form little clumps and be gross

Customizable Instructions:

Add the brown sugar (as above, preferably before the flour, with the other wet ingredients. Wait, why is sugar a wet ingredient? see † at the bottom).

Add one scoop of your preferred protein powder, then mix on low setting until it’s mixed in.

Similarly, mix in the strawberry yogurt*. Now, I know what you’re saying: this is a very specific thing to add to the pancakes, but hear me out**: it gives moisture to the recipe (in this version, there’s not as much, cuz there’s no added tea/maple syrup, and there’s an additional dry ingredient), and it adds a subtle fruity flavor (also it makes your living space smell amazing while it’s cooking)! I may experiment with adding actual fresh strawberry to the recipe in the future.

Finally, put the cup of choco chips in and mix gently! My mixer head tends to bump around a little bit during this step so you may want to use that generally ignorable lever that keeps the mixer head secure.

*Unlike the brown sugar, you may want to mix the yogurt in after you add the dry ingredients. If you do it before, it won’t incorporate smoothly and end up in a bunch of gross looking lumps. It doesn’t actually affect anything though and once you add the dry ingredients, everything is fine. It’s more about if you’re a wet before dry purist vs. someone squicked out by lumps.

** It’s also the only thing I had on hand lmao

Chocolate Sauce (for ‘drizzling’) Instructions:

Put 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in the microwave with a tablespoon of butter. Melt for 45 seconds on high (according to the packaging on my choco chip bag). Mix the resulting glorp carefully (it’s hot!) with a rubber spatula then microwave for another 15-20 seconds until most/all of the chips have melted.

Mix again. It will look like a gross dry paste (but trust the process). Once you add in a capful of milk and mix—immediately you will have a glossy beautiful mixture. Then add an additional capful of milk (you may need to add more) to make it thin enough to ‘drizzle’!

Baking Instructions:

Pour batter into greased baking tray and use a spatula and spread it evenly by hand, as this batter is thicker and a little stiffer than my apple version. Optional: Sprinkle the top with that handful of chocolate chips—then if you made the chocolate sauce, take the spatula from before, scoop a little bit of chocolate sauce onto the tip of the spatula, and carefully* flick it over the surface of the batter! Really channel your inner Jackson Pollock! Do as much of this as you want until you have your ideal amount of chocolate drizzle on top (and if you have any left afterward, eat it as a tasty little snack. live deliciously lol).

When the oven reaches temperature (if you preheated it at the beginning, it may have already been at temperature for a while) put the pan in and cook for 35 mins. Know your oven and if it tends to be hotter or colder**, adjust cook time as necessary.

When the timer goes off, test the center in several places with a toothpick. As long as it doesn’t come out goopy, you’re good! (crumbs on the toothpick is fine) I say test in several places because if you accidentally go through a chocolate chip, your toothpick will come out wet and chocolatey, but that doesn’t mean the pancakes aren’t done. If it's not done, cook in intervals of 5 minutes, testing when the timer goes off.

Take pan out and use a butter knife or a pie serving spatula and poke around the edges of the pan to free the pancake traybake from the edges. Let cool for 10 minutes.

Cut into squares. I tend to cut 12 pieces, but you could go smaller or larger depending on how much you intend to eat at once.

*By making this recipe you agree to not hold me liable for any chocolate mess that may result from the flicking process (lol).

** How do I know if my oven runs hot or cold, you may ask? If any recipe you make comes out raw and/or takes longer to cook than the instructions say, your oven is colder! If your food ends up burnt and/or takes less time to cook than the recipe instructions say, your oven is hotter!

Enjoy! I eat two squares at a time and it makes a good breakfast! For storing, put however much of it you can eat in 2-3 days in the fridge. Store the rest in the freezer.

I will note, this version of the recipe doesn't form the same kind of cool thick edges like the apple version.

For any customizing other than what I did, use whatever fruit, spices, syrups, and/or protein powders you want! Just be aware that more fruit in the batter means it may take longer to cook!

If you make them, either the same way I did here or differently, let me know how they came out!

†Yes, all sugars are considered wet ingredients. Yes, it is conceptually weird, but there is a reason: because they need to dissolve in liquid in order to be incorporated properly, you add them in with the wet ingredients. It's like Thompson from Gravity Falls, who's kinda in the friend group but only because he performs a specific social role (poor Thomson tho fr fr)

Can you tell me all about your favorite blorbo, LU or otherwise? Why do you love them? I have a guess, but maybe I’m wrong, and the WHY is the best part.

WILD BEST BLORBO, as I'm sure anyone that has even glanced at my stuff could guess that.

I've already said it on here, but in the context of my own story, I love the struggle of him trying to figure out who he is, wanting independence and wanting someone to watch out for him (ie. Twilight), how much of his past defines him, how much of his future is actually his own to decide, y'know that sort of coming-of-age story and all that jazz with a spritz of Fate and a slight sprinkle of Hylia is a mean mfer.

The why? Gah I'm trying to figure out how to answer this in a way that doesn't spoil all of BDOR. But basically, I find it really fun and challenging--and also quite self-reflective, cuz y'know therapy isn't free but fanfiction sure is--to write like five emotionally stunted beings in a trench coat resembling one semi-functioning edgelord of a human without A) also making it SUPER obvious that I am doing so, at least for arc 1 and B) not coming off as "inconsistent characterization," at least so much so that people stop reading XD

So now my question to you, dear SkipBreaker, is the same--who is your favorite blorbo (I think I know who lol, at least for LU but you don't have to answer that way) and why?
