Sweet Fire

This short story is from @breannasfluff's 'finish the story' event. Hope ya'll enjoy it. (the italics are her writing)

Hyrule wipes his forehead and turns to Wild with hopeful eyes. “So? How did I do?”

Wild’s face does this funny thing where it goes through too many emotions at once and ends up scrunched. “Well…six fires in just three hours is your personal best! The only problem is that we’re making fruit salad…”

“I need to cook the fruit!”

“Well, about that...”

“And then there’s that sauce you wanted me to add to it.”

“Which is…warmed in a pan.”

“And don’t get me started on the whipped cream!”

They both turn to look at the jar which once held cream and now holds…chuchu jelly. And maybe some butter.

It’s at this moment that Legend walks in and freezes, sniffing the air. “Do I even want to know?”

“Ledge!” Hyrule grabs a spoonful of something from his bowl and holds it out. “Taste this and tell me what you think!”

The veteran is dubious, but at a nod from Wild, accepts the spoon. Then his face scrunches up because it tastes–

"That's really sweet," Legend muttered in surprise, blinking at the spoon.

"Yep!" Hyrule grinned. "It took a bit to get the fruit cooked right-" Legend's glance at several slightly blackened pots told Wild that he could have figured that part out for himself "-but it turned out really good! I don't think it's quite what Wild had planned, and the whipped cream is..." Hyrule trailed off, looking towards the jar that once held cream. "Anyways! It's not right, but it is good so I-"

"Hyrule." Legend cut him off, lips twitching up in amusement. "You did good. You made a mess, but you did good." Hyrule blinked, looking a bit stunned, before spinning to look at Wild who grinned and nodded in agreement.

Hyrule's smile was like the dawning of a new day after a particularly dark night. Bright and warm and wonderful.

"How about you go serve it to the others while I start cleaning up," Wild suggested, holding out a small stack of bowls.

"But I need to help you clean," Hyrule protested.

"You can help after everyone has gotten some of what you made," Wild insisted "And that includes yourself. This sort of thing tastes best warm and you deserve to get to eat it too."

"You heard him," Legend reached out to grab the bowls before looping an arm through Hyrule's and tugging him towards where the others were. "Let's go show them what you made." Hyrule conceded, letting himself be towed away with a growing smile. Leaving Wild to start the cleanup. But he didn't mind. This was the first thing that Hyrule had actually managed to really make. He deserved to get to enjoy it.

Wild turned back to the mess of a kitchen, but not even the burnt pots could dampen the smile on his face as he got to work to the sounds of Hyrule's excited chatter from the other room.

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

I don't have the words for this but. Art and science are always hand in hand.

The perfectionism of artists has them researching stuff in a way that only scientists can compare. Some artists become experts in biology or anatomy. Other special interests have them going down rabbit holes to make them better at their art.

Disney animators said "we are perfecting the code for this snow if it kills us" and researched and invented code until it acted like real snow in Frozen and snow scientists were like hey. Did we just fucking solve the Dyatlov Pass mystery. And the animators answered no. We made snow. YOU applied the knowledge and did the experiments to solve what could have happened at Dyatlov Pass.

And it was a team effort because of course it was. You can't have art without science. And you can't have science without art.

I really do think that it’s good for the soul to be unironically pretentious about something. Not in a gatekeeping kind of way but in a “yes, it really is that deep and I would love to enthusiastically and passionately explain why” kind of way.

One of my favorite things about The Untamed is how it begins with Wei Wuxian saying ‘Lan Zhan’ and finishes with Lan Wangji saying ‘Wei Ying’

Following an accident, Danny wakes up in Gotham City in a DC universe. Lacking any forms of ID or possessions beyond the clothes on his back, he’s forced to commit some crimes to survive. Minor crimes, but still.

And then he gets caught.

During the court proceedings, they come to the mistaken conclusion that he’s a Meta suffering from some psychiatric issues such as Cotard’s Syndrome (a real rare condition where a person holds the delusional belief that they’re dead/don’t exist/etc).

Thus, between his “need for mental treatment” and the concerns about housing someone with his unique physical traits, he is sentenced to spend time in Arkham Asylum. He’s under pretty low security aside from the anti-Meta stuff and has more freedoms than some other inmates, but it’s still not a great experience. Even at the best of times, Arkham is hardly a nice place.

Some of his fellow residents are decently chill all things considered, but lots very much aren’t.
