these sudden flashes in your soul

like lambent lightning on snowy clouds

at midnight when the moon is full

I love the idea of teenage Malleus hating his new baby brother Silver but slowly falling for him

words cannot express how much I adore that Mal's reaction to seeing a human baby for the first time was "the fuck is this. why does it look like that. gross." (then he immediately got stuck on babysitting duty and the rest is history)

I am SUCH a sucker for that trope of "non-humans being fascinated by normal human behavior", so between that and all the delicious angst going on I was eating VERY well. >:) Malleus being so impressed that two-year-old Silver can walk, because it took him twenty years to stand on two legs! Lilia barging in on the Zigvolts at 2 AM being like "he won't stop crying what do I do"! Lilia trying to feed Silver rats and Malleus being like "...please just stick with what the books say to feed it"! it is all so. chef's kiss.

Ultimate 1 Spoon* Snack If You Don't Have A Peanut Allergy

Ingredients/Tools:

Jar of Peanut Butter (preferably Crunchy)

Jar of Honey

1 Spoon

(Note: You can also use a fork, butter knife, spatula, your fingers, telekinesis, etc., but I find spoons to be the optimal utensil for this in terms of scooping power, tidyness, and ingredient escape prevention.)

Instructions:

Use spoon of your size preference to scoop out a big glob of peanut butter. (Note: Spoon size preference may be limited by size of peanut butter jar opening.)

Use your thumb to press a dip into the middle of the glob (still on the spoon!) You can also do this with your tongue if you don't want to get pb on your fingers.

Squirt however much honey you want into and around the dip. If your honey has crystallized from infrequent use (couldn't be me), you may need that knife after all, in which case just slather the honey onto the pb like very sticky butter.

For additional security, you can kinda shove the peanut butter over and around the honey. (WARNING: Honey is sneaky and WILL try to flee to Mexico.)

Eat and repeat as many times as you like wherever you like yes even in bed as I am doing as I write this because doggonit it's your peanut butter and your honey** and both are good for you all the science says so and it is ridiculously simple yet delicious, you're welcome, just try to avoid dripping honey on the bed.

*However many metaphorical energy spoons this treat requires may vary by individual, but while I hope it will cost you zero spoons in that regard, I can stand by my claim on the grounds that this involves the use of at least one literal spoon.

**If you happen to share peanut butter and honey resources with other members of the household, maybe get a clean spoon each time and don't eat an inconsiderate amount. Or go buy your own jars and hoard them from the others as like gold in your personal dragon hoard.

public apology to @bitchesofostwick for the number of unhinged messages i sent her tonight critiquing the timeline and logistics of DAO endgame army movements. it is simply that my feelings are very strong on the matter and i needed to send a video with a map for pointing so that i could rant properly. bc my opinions are strong.

A change of pace.

Simon got to be the 'little spoon' when they were snuggling. 💕

As promised here is my little project, they ended up being a bit more than just sketches haha.

I am quite happy with how all these came out, some were more challenging and fiddly than others but I definitely learned something in all this, I'm sure.

[start image description: Five digital drawings of Rivers Rosa with various other Firefighters from the game Blaseball. The first drawing is of Rivers Rosa and Edric Tosser. They are both seated, with Rivers looking at something mid-chew, holding a bowl and fork. Edric is seated next to her, following her gaze as they reach for something out of view. The second drawing is of Rivers Rosa and Mullen Peterson. The two of them are drawn from the back, talking to each other. Their names and jersey numbers are visible, as they are wearing their blaseball uniforms. The third drawing is of Rivers Rosa and Swamuel Mora. They are seated on a bench wearing winter attire. Swamuel is turned toward Rivers, carrying a large thermos in both hands. Rivers is smiling, wearing headphones next to them. Her hands are deep in the pockets of her jacket as she slouches on the bench. The fourth drawing is of Rivers Rosa and Declan Suzanne. The two of them are in Declan’s car, with Rivers directing Declan at the wheel, who looks somewhat apprehensive about driving. The fifth drawing is of Rivers Rosa and Justice Spoon. Spoon is carrying Rivers on their back in piggyback fashion. /end image description] Sketches I did after Rivers was incinerated. She finally got out of there.
