Can you imagine what it would be like if, after the adrenaline wears off, Mario has to tell his adventure and gets to the part "I got there just in time to save Luigi from falling into the lava" Saying that out loud and gradually realizing that, yes, he was just in time, because if he had been a few seconds longer, it would all have been for nothing. Going from "I was just in time" to "oh god, I was just in time". I don't think he'll be letting Luigi out of his sight anytime soon.

Speaking of angst!

We've been talking so much about Luigi and his manhole cover adventures, that we've neglected to dig up Mario's PTSD.

Mario snatched his brother from a fiery, unpleasant demise by the skin of his teeth. And yes, I am certain that Mario is probably being even more overprotective than he usually is, possibly even to Luigi's chagrin. But out of everything that happened during those crazy two days, it's the nightmare of flying through the sky, reaching for his brother, only for Luigi's fingers to slip out of Mario's grasp as he falls screaming into that lava pit that shocks him out of sleep night after night, panting and sweating. And maybe Luigi catches Mario sleeping on the floor next to his bed more than once, in those early mornings when Mario wasn't able to rouse himself in time to sneak back out of Luigi's room before he woke up.

"What can someone like you do for Senpai?"

Fuck that pretentious little bitch and her fucking prejudices! I don't give a fuck about the hardships she had in life! Taichi is so much better than her! He is such a good person!

Weekly Fic (and Meat) Rec 50

Holy moly! This is my 50th fanfic rec list! I have to admit, these have been fun to make each week. Along with these fic recs, I also have a meat rec for you at the end! It's an interesting one, heehee.

how to divide the conquest of they sight by streetlight_skeletons - Batfam, complete. A case fic. Something Bruce got into while on patrol is causing him to attack Dick.

Patchwork Pod by Ktkat9 - Superbat, wip. More mer Bruce AU! Still on the look out for missing Bruce!

Stand Up for Yourself by UnicornVomit - Batfam, complete. Jason gets in trouble at school, but Bruce has his back :)

The Return by lurkinglurkerwholurks - Batfam, complete. A re-read for me. A fic about what happens after Bruce gets back after being lost in time, especially with the relationships within the Batfam.

have your cake and eat it too by amyritter - Superbat, complete. Clark is sad he can't get hickies :( Good thing he has a creative partner :)

As promised, a meat recommendation! If you're from Pennsylvania, you already know it, it's scrapple!

Here is the Wikipedia entry for it:

I was introduced to this dish when I was in college! One of my meat science professors was from that state, and he wanted to teach the processed meats class I was in how to make it. It's actually a pretty interesting dish! Leftover pork meat and pork offal are ground up, mixed with spices, buckwheat flour/cornmeal/wheat flour, and water. It's cooked down and put in to loaf pans so you get that loaf shape. It's sold fully cooked, so you could eat it as is when you buy it, but it's traditionally served sliced thin and pan fried on both sides to get that nice crispy crust. I like to eat mine with maple syrup! It's a nice contrast of sweet and savory, I think.

At one of my previous jobs, I worked in a pork packing plant in Pennsylvania, so we made this! It would be served in the cafeteria as one of the breakfast options, and they would DEEP FRY the slices. They were nice and crispy then!

I think what I like so much about this product is the whole thought process that went into making it, so the packer/butcher shop owner could make money from inexpensive parts of the hog. It is literally made of the leftover parts of the hog that no one wants to eat by themselves (hearts, livers, kidneys). Also, the flours and meals added to extend the product tends to be pretty cheap compared to the meat. The water added as well is also pretty inexpensive. It's a way to create value out of parts of the hog that people would normally not eat, while making it tasty (in my opinion) too! It's problem solving at the meat butchery level!

I know some people might read/look at this and think "gross!!", but I just think it's neat (insert Marge Simpson potato meme here). I also have some good memories that I associate with scrapple when I was going to school and when living in Pennsylvania. ALSO, we have this new thing going on at my work where all the food labs get together and discuss what's happening in our labs each month. The R&D director said that he's open to suggestions to showcase interesting food products in our industry at the end of the meeting. I suggested this to my boss and he didn't like it, probably because he thinks it's gross or something. This is my little "fuck you" to him (that he will never see since he is a straight white man who has no idea what Tumblr is).

Happy reading (and eating!)

Dusty tans and oranges Whites that are frankly irresponsibly pristine for this environment A practical gray A faded, rusty red A deep indigo, dark as night and not really his, but it's there just the same

Scents:

Brass, copper, steel; something metallic that you can't quite place. Bourbon Sandalwood Citrus Just a hint of jasmine. Huh. Must've snuck in with the indigo.

Objects:

A weapon; something small and collapsible, tucked away in hopes it won't see the light of day A small bag of nuts or dried berries for the road, just in case. A puzzling assemblage of bolts and nuts; something to be tucked into the palm of the hand and turned over endlessly between the fingers while deep in thought. A nice pair of boots. A dumb hat.

Body Language:

A shrug. Confident, non-committal, whatever works. A straight face. Cracking knuckles. A heaving sigh. An awkward, perplexed look and a scratch at the back of the head.

Aesthetics:

Lockpicks, cherished and well-loved (Play with matches if you think you need to play with matches) A tarnished compass and a faded map (Seek out the hidden places where the fire burns hot and bright) A worn and beaten flask (Find where the heat's unbearable and stay there if you have to) A stained shot glass on the sill of a broken window (And don't hurt anybody on your way up to the light) Half of an inspirational-but-rebellious quote carved into a public bench, forever unfinished (And stay alive; just stay alive)

Edit: FOUND - thanks everyone.

I'm looking for a particular post that I didn't save and can't seem to search up and I wonder if anyone else has it and can help. I read it at the time and went yeah-nah and moved on and now my stupid brain has gone "well, there's your connection, actually" and now I can't find it to check my cross reference.

It about how the op think there may be a finite amount of miracle energy available, and that's why Aziraphale keeps getting warnings about doing too many "frivolous" miracles and also why Heaven wants to start the next war.

I don't think it was posted that long ago, maybe in the last week or so?

I love Kid Transformation Stories. Those stories are always so cute and fluffy and make me feel happy (and it's always fun for the character info/interactions that show up). It's also usually one of those standard fanfic genres you'll find in pretty much every fandom.

So imagine my surprise that there really... Weren't that many in Moomins. I only found one, and it was for the parents getting turned into tots. (And absolutely adorable, btw.)

Of course, this meant my brain promptly started ruminating on its own idea for a Kid TF Fic for Snufkin. (Because I always bully the characters that I like. 😆 )

Basically, Skufkin has been coming down with a cold and is planning on disappearing for a few days to take care of it himself. It's just a little cold and there's no reason for him to bother everyone else with something that he can recover from by himself. (Never mind that the Moomins would never see him asking for help as a bother.) But, obviously, this doesn't go the way he wanted/expected.

Someone/thing magical runs across him on his way to pack up his camp (I've been using "fairy" but that's still subject to change), who views his plans as less "I am Independent and Capable of taking care of Myself" and more "I am a Stubborn Kid that doesn't want to be Babied." (Completely missing the worry about being a burden/bother that's in there as well.) So they decide that they need to show him that there's nothing wrong with getting babied if you're unwell.

They turn him into a little kid to help him "get the message". And leaves after sending up some sparks to make sure someone finds him. (After all, he can't get better without help right now and if no one finds him, it would defeat the purpose of the lesson. Wouldn't it?)

Moomin is the one who finds Snufkin and hurries him home to see if Moominmama can do something to change him back.

Kid shenanigans (and cold shenanigans) ensue.

(The spell has a built-in time limit. After x number of days once the cold is gone, he'll change back to normal. No potions or special medicine or special conditions that need to be met before then.)

Still debating the finer details of the change, like if Snufkin is still himself but dealing with being a little kid physically (and emotionally), or if he's been regressed totally and is just a confused baby until he changes back. But no matter what, I want Cute Baby Stuff happening.

(also, of it's the second one, the Moomins collectively decided that (due to the context clues they've gotten about Snufkin's childhood) they are going to Spoil Him Rotten until this is fixed.)
