#banzai blasters uniform (from epithet erased)

[art-of-a-ghostie]

The fact that Prison of Plastic reveals that in the Banzai Blasters the Captain is not the one who gives nicknames but it's more a group activity implies that Giovanni's boys simply started calling Crusher basically the upgrade of "Lover Boy" and he either was on board with that or they just kept doing that until it became an official thing against his will and I don't know which is more hilarious.

[Image description: a digital drawing of Bugsy Pugsler from Epithet Erased, younger and wearing a Blaster uniform instead of the Vice Principal one. He also has longer hair pulled back in a ponytail, one rogue lock hanging over his forehead. He’s got a nervous expression, one hand on his hip and the other shakily dangling the standard Banzai Blasters pistol by the handle between his thumb and pointer. The drawing is styled as if it’s drawn with cheap coloring markers, complete with visible strokes layering over each other and some of them going over the lines. The background is solid white. Bugsy is a fat light-skinned man with curly reddish-brown hair, wearing a yellow double-breasted uniform with armor-like shoulder pads and gloves, red-and-white bracers and neckerchief, and a utility belt.

tfw you’re paying $49.99 monthly to participate in a pyramid scheme, convinced that while every single other person there is a complete idiot, you are just brilliant and cunning enough to get to the top, but you also suddenly realize that until then you’re just going to be cannon fodder for the aforementioned bastards

Epithet Erased themed cupcakes/fan food! (And the last one until I catch up of EE / My poor body needs a break from all of the sweets, oof, too much sugar!)

First of which, thank you very much to @jelloapocalypse​ for not only creating such fantastic characters to make cupcakes based on... but also for letting me know his thoughts of flavours that would suit Molly!! 

Molly’s Chocolate Cupcake with Cocoa Buttercream and Caramel!

Far simpler than making sugar glass (Mera) or experimenting with tomatos (Giovanni); Chocolate is a flavour I am far more familiar with. The caramel is a bit difficult to see, yet somehow manages to hide my ‘floofy locks’ buttercream; But, are very tasty together...! It isn’t as harsh as the brown sugar caramel (Indus’) and the stars and bear ears are actually dark and white chocolate which I shaped or carved (similarly to the horn’s on Sylvie’s sheep cupcakes)! 

You guys have been absolutely amazing...! Thank you very much for all of your kind words and reblogs/likes, and the occasional message to make sure I didn’t get hurt eating glass (I’m still having a cackle about that, it was a lot of fun to make). 

At this point, I’ve made 6 different cupcakes for this series... Which, I would love to do more in the future! At this time I do believe I need a break so I can focus on my health a little bit (so... much sugar...) but more importantly, my artwork. I have a few projects on the go and have been trying to do research to figure what to replace Adobe Flash with, since we will be losing Flash Player at the end of the year (oof)... But a story for another time. More cupcakes to be coming once I catch up on Epithet Erased... I would love to share other food I’ve done in the past/will be doing coming up; If there is anything you would like to see don’t hesitate to ask and I’ll see if it’s in my power!

You can see the other cupcakes I’ve done below:

Giovanni (Tomato Red Velvet)

Mera (Earl Grey & Butterfly Pea Flower)

Indus (Masala Chai & Orange)

Banzai Blaster Uniform (Lemon Curd and Vanilla)

Sylvie (Banana and Coconut)

Unfinished Work #33: Molly meets Beefton

I was rewatching some Epithet Erased when I remembered this bad boy!!!! It’s actually mostly complete- it was gonna end on a note where Beefton took over the toy shop for the night, Sylvie is awkward and groggy in the morning, and he and Molly bond. 

———————————————————————————————————–

Sylvie never quite gets around to calling the toy shop. He wants to, but everything hurts, and maybe he's just awkward by nature? It doesn't matter. The nice police lady calls Molly herself to make sure she's not too traumatized, and 'lets slip' the room he's in.

He wakes to enough toys to fill every child's dreams forever. Wooden trains and paints to color them, thread and various booklets on how to weave them into things, hot wheels out the ass, and enough yo-yos to corner the market. It's downright impressive. There's a card with a teddy bear on the front, and it says exactly what Molly had said to him before: thanks for helping, you're a good friend, here's toys to buy your silence about the Banzai Blasters, please don't tell Ms. Police Lady, love you, have a good day.

Okay, maybe Sylvie read into it a bit. Or a lot. He can recognize psychological flaws while still having them, alright.

(She never calls him, either.)

 ———————————————————————————————————

The toy store closes at eleven now, if you count what Molly has sharpie-scribbled onto the door sign. But those who've faced retail know that closing times are more challenging suggestion to those types of customers so she's often open until midnight or later. Her dad hasn't really said much about the whole 'captured and held hostage' thing, and Molly hasn't felt the need to explore it with him, but it's brought in heaps and heaps of customers. She's pretty sure they haven't made this much money since before mom died.

Which is great! Except. Someone dumb may have... filled dad in on in-app purchases. And maybe they're a bit more in debt than when they started. And maybe Molly's on her fifth redbull. And maybe that's okay? Because eventually she's either going to transcend or have a heart attack and both scenarios promise sleep, so she'll take it.

When there's a loud bang at the front of the store, Molly half-hopes the Banzai Blasters have come to kidnap her for-realsies. At least the Banzai Blasters have semi-decent uniforms. But the thing that comes lumbering up registers as a brown blur, far too tall for any of Giovanni's squad, so she'll just have to suck it up.

"LASSIE," the blur bellows. "YE'VE GOT FRIENDSHIP ISSUES TO WORK OUT."

"Oh dear god," Molly replies, feeling her shoulders begin to tense. "You're loud."

"I SPEAK IN ALL CAPS FOR EMPHASIS!" A beefy hand grabs her wrist. It's soft, she could pull away in a second, but honestly Molly's too dumbfounded to think of it. "ME OTHER HALF'S BEEN WHINING AND SULKING FER DAYS NOW, LASSIE! YE GOTTA FIX IT!"

"You're literally killing me with your voice."

"SEND 'IM A POSTCARD OR SOMETHING, I'M BEGGIN' YA!"

Molly salutes, cracks her sixth redbull, and says, "I go to the ancient ones now. Building blocks are aisle three."

The blur takes it from her with a derisive snort. "LASSIE, YE CANNE BE DRINKING THESE DEATH DRINKS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. S'BAD FER YA!"

"I fear nothing but old ladies with carts."

"WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SLEPT?"

Molly squints and tilts her head just right. "Oh. Beefton. I knew you were... something? Familiar. Yeah, that's the word. I can word."

Beefton considers her, then the red bull, then her again. He sets it aside. "I DIAGNOSE YOU WITH INSOMNIA," he bellows, but also is somehow a bit softer? It's a weird voice glitch, Molly thinks. "SELF-IMPOSED, I 'SPECT. LET'S GET YE TO BED."

"I've got to finish closing up the store," she mumbled, already slumping against the Epithet's waist.

"DOCTOR'S ORDERS, CHILD. I CAN HANDLE ANY THREATS THAT'LL COME IN THE NIGHT."

(When you're tired, a promise can basically do anything.)

I need to talk about my epithet erased verse on here some more so here’s some sweet trivia:

Out of all the epithets, jermy’s is (arguably) the most powerful. His epithet is literally the 3rd state of matter, gas. Do you have any idea how much you can do with that.

Also he’s the most likely to become a villain

Their “woodscout” uniforms are banzai blaster uniforms that shrunk in the wash and dyed green

Snake knows his epithet (sweetooth) is functionally useless but that won’t stop him from shanking you with a candycane

Petrol is (believed to be) a mundie.

Pikeman has the least control over his epithet. Honestly it does more damage to him than other people.

However you can see the effect of “leeching” by seeing how desaturates the colors of the person effected get. They might go full black and white if pushed hard enough.

Unlike the banzai blasters, their shtick isn’t villainey but a severely displaced moral code of ethics to be #superheroes.

Bc of that, when they try to stop crime, they.. cause 100% more problems than they solve.

[Image ID: A digital drawing of Molly and Giovanni from Epithet Erased. They are posed side by side, both facing forward at a 3/4ths angle, with Molly slightly behind Giovanni so that she’s inside of his cape. They seem to be caught in a gust of dramatic wind. Giovanni has one hand extended and foreshortened, fingers splayed towards the viewer, and the other hand posed in front of his face like a corny anime villain. he has a smug, mean-looking grin on his face reminiscent of knife cat. Molly has one arm in front of her posed similarly to a taekwondo inside block, with her elbow forward obscuring her upper body and her hand in a fist. Her other arm is extended back behind her, mirroring Giovanni’s pose. She has her knees bent in somewhat of a fighting stance (although her pose is more wacky villain than balanced fighter). Molly looks up at Giovanni with a confident and mischievous smile that mimics her Boss’s. Both are in their regular outfits- Molly wears her bear hoodie with the hood down, over a pleated green skirt, vertically striped purple stockings, a purple and green striped shirt, and a pair of oversized yellow wellie boots. She also wears her yellow backpack. Giovanni is wearing his Banzai captain uniform- a yellow jumpsuit with pointy yellow pauldrons, red and white bracers with spiked hand guards, white knee high platform boots with red trim, a gaudy white and gold belt, and a long flowing cape tied around his neck, embellished with a golden Banzai Blaster emblem pin. His hair is clipped back with a single black barette. In the background, there are several overlaid spiky impact bubbles colored bright green and pink. The pair are outlined in white, matching the white backdrop. The top left corner has text in a funky black font that reads “Great at Crime!” with the artist’s signature right below. END ID]

happy two years of being great at crimes to my favorite museum heisting, amulet stealing, bad guy stopping thief sibling duo <3

Epithet Erased themed cupcakes/fan food! (I regret making everything in the background red because it really takes away from the cupcakes themselves, oops... lesson learned!)

Are those... tomatoes? 

...yes. Yes they are.

Did I make soup and then make ice cream and cupcakes out of said soup?

Yes. Yes I did.

Thank you very much @rooby​ for your suggestion of either a soup cupcake or red velvet... silly me decided to challenge myself and did both. In one. It’s a tomato red velvet cupcake. 

Giovanni’s (Tomato) Red Velvet Cupcake with Cream Cheese Icing, topped with Tomato Strawberry Cream Cheese Ice Cream

...typing that alone hurt me.

This oddly tasty monstrosity has taken most of my day to prepare from start to finish. Winter really isn’t the season for tomatoes, in fact they are quite lacking in a lot of ways; So, I would love to try this again in a few months. Skinning the fruit (or vegetable, I won’t argue) and blending them down, straining out the solids and cooking down the tomatoes... about 200g of that was made into a simple syrup with some local strawberries I had frozen from the summer to make the ice cream base. Scalded milk and cream, whisked in cream cheese, Incorporated the tomato simple syrup while hot to avoid curdling the dairy, salt and vanilla extract, gelatin, and some Strawberry’s and Cream Bailey’s (17% alcohol content) to help the ice cream base from becoming too hard when frozen.

While that was cooling off I moved onto the cupcakes. The recipe I used had buttermilk, which I swapped out for the rest of the tomato “soup” since (according to my math, which is probably wrong) buttermilk and tomatoes are relatively similar levels of acidity. I did use food colouring to help brighten up the cupcakes, baked those off and moved onto the icing.

Just a simple cream cheese icing with additional food colouring. I sacrificed one of the cupcakes to squish into a ball and dunked in some of the icing, allowed to chill and proceeded to pipe additional icing to try to make a ‘ball of yarn’ since Giovanni knits. 

Eventually churned the ice cream, allowed it to rest in the freezer to better hold it’s shape... and... well here we are.

--

I wanted to go into detail about my thought process for this one... I focused more on the flavours and ingredients for Giovanni’s cupcake more than aesthetically; Since, it was such a strange choice of flavours. I really had to refer back to what I’ve learned at work and go through my cooking notes (such as the ice cream) Which, consisted of a lot of talking to myself to brain storm. I do have some of it recorded because I’m always curious to hear what my madness sounds like, and I admit there is a chunk I’ve almost half tempted to animate because I was laughing so hard that I was crying. What a strange adventure this was...

Again, my choice of background/fabric for the photos discoloured the actual results, so here are some bonus pictures from my cellphone:

I also did the following:

Mera’s cupcakes with sugar glass! 

Indus’ cupcakes can be seen here!

Sylvie’s drowsy powder- I mean coconut is here~

Cupcakes based on the Banzai Blaster Uniform!
