a tiny but heartbreaking scene

From @beanabouttown

Echo gently touching the clone trooper doll tugged at my heart strings.

How he motions the arm with the scomp where his hand used to be.

Gently looking over the doll's features, it's complete helmet.

It's a little dirty, suggesting that it was previously owned and loved by someone else.

Who was that other person? Were they saved by a clone trooper? Occupied by them? Why was it made? Where are they now?

Omega is the one that finds it, and hands it to Echo. She recognizes it before he does.

While looking at the toy, Echo is dressed as a droid in disguise, right before being 'sold' by Hunter for credits. It's as if he's touching his past.

“I’ve got plenty of smut in the story, and side stories get even wilder! I’ve even got some illustrations!

Buuuuut there’s an assload of ethics, engineering, science, and emotional turbulence along the way! Oh and I hope that it turns you into a fan of The Expanse!”

Hi there!

Weird question: your OC with Tech...may I use them for a potential 'fix the finale' fanfic?

I'm trying to gather all of the OCs that end up with Tech, and have them rip through time and space, make up a crack commando team, save Tech in the main universe, then smash Mt Tantiss to smithereens and save the other clones? Then dump him at Pabu.

I love studying all the various OCs with Tech, they're so much fun! Yours is, too :)

Let me know what you think!

-Dr. Meat Muffin

Not weird at all, oh my gosh! I'd be FLATTERED to have Juno cameo in that!! :D That sounds like a lovely fic idea and an absolute blast for everyone involved, haha. I love how all of his collective partners team up to fix this dang show xD

But yes, you may absolutely use Juno for that! Please let me know if you need any questions answered or information about her! Most of her documents are somewhere on that Juntech site, but they may be missing information which I will happily supply! ^^

Thank you so much!!

[talesfrommedinastation]

Folks I’ll even talk about the smut pieces.

Tech: “why can’t this dirty old swamp witch shut up JFC.”

Fanfic Writers: Director’s Cut

Reblog this if you want readers to come into your ask box and ask for the “director’s commentary” on a particular story, section of a story, or set of lines. 

Or, send in a ⭐star⭐  to have the author select a section they’ve been dying to talk about!

[talesfrommedinastation]

Hunter went from "When will it be enough?" regarding to rescuing other clones at the end of last season to this.

I am so fucking happy about this character development. Please keep it up, Daddy Rambo!

It’s time to think about all things dad as we celebrate and honor the important father figures in our lives this Sunday, June 16th. When Father’s Day was still in its infancy in the early 1900s, the holiday held a tradition of daughters handing red roses to their fathers during a church service. To this day, the rose remains the official flower of Father's Day, with red ones symbolizing a still-living father and white ones for the deceased. By all means, bring dad a bouquet of flowers, but the farmers market offers a cornucopia of edible gift ideas that are also sure to delight and make the shop for pop a breeze this weekend:

Cheesy Dad You know the kind of dad we’re talking about. The one that likes to crack silly dad jokes at every opportunity he’s given and hasn’t met a cheeseboard he doesn’t relish. Well, game on, because your Down to Earth farmers market is the perfect place to shop for all your cheeseboard essentials! Dad will be wowed when you present him with his ready-to-eat, farm-to-table cheeseboard that’s been carefully curated to suit his personal tastes. Here are the basic components to include using a variety of fresh, seasonal ingredients from our vendors:

Cheese: Look to feature at least three different types of farmers market cheese with different flavors and textures – creamy, firm, aged and soft. Depending on the type of cheese, you can include the entire piece or cut it up into smaller cubes or slices to make it easier to serve.

Something Sweet: Fresh fruit such as hulled strawberries from the farmstalls, squares of slowcocoa's craft chocolate, and SOVA Farms drizzled honey will add just enough contrast to the savory and salty flavor profile you’re building.

Something Savory: Small touches of savory items can include cornichons, olives, roasted peppers, as well as tapenades and spicy condiments. Dr. Pickle’s jars of stuffed green olives come in Bloody Mary, Bleu Cheese & Almond, Garlic & Jalapeno and Cream Cheese Jalapeno.

Crackers and Bread: The goodies on dad’s tasty cheeseboard need a delivery mechanism in the form of sliced Wave Hill Breads baguette, crackers, toasty slices of Badass Bagels or crispy pita chips—select at least two.

Charcuterie: Make dad’s cheeseboard meatier with slices of charcuterie from Goode and Local By Don Rodrigo. Choose from salami, pate, mortadella, hot coppa, iberico persunto, mangalitsa jamon and more.

Crudité: Throw in raw crudité to add refreshing color and crunch and counterbalance the heavier, sodium-forward meats and cheeses. Radishes, carrots, celery, peppers, broccoli florets or anything cut into bite sized pieces will work perfectly.

Pie Guy If dad loves dessert, we’ve got his ticket!

Pick up a pie from the farmstalls made with fresh fruit and other seasonal delights. Don’t forget to pick up containers of sweet berries from Caradonna Farms, Great Joy Family Farm and Norwich Meadows Farm as strawberries are in peak season currently, while raspberries and blueberries are now starting to trickle into the market. 

Babka Paradise makes Babka, Challah, Knishes, Kugel, Halva, Blintzes and other homestyle kosher foods and baked goods that are sure to indulge dad’s sweet tooth. 

Wave Hill Breads treats include cookies, muffins, scones, pastries and monkey bread.

Pasta Papa When dad gets hungry, nothing hits the spot like a hearty bowl of tasty pasta. Gift him some handsome boxes of fresh pasta and jars of sauce from That Pasta Club along with a bottle of his favorite wine. That Pasta Club is an artisan producer of fresh pasta made using local grains and seasonal flavorings. They specialize in handmade stuffed pasta, bronze die extruded pasta and small batch sauces. Their pasta menu rotates on a weekly basis in line with the seasonal, balanced and delicious ingredients they use in their dishes.

Of course, the farmers market offers many more gift options for every kind of dad, whatever his tastes may be. No matter what direction you decide to go in, you simply can’t go wrong with something locally produced, seasonally grown and uniquely yummy that will make both his heart and belly full this weekend. We wish you a wonderful Father’s Day and look forward to seeing you in the market.

Basics With Babish. By Andrew Rea. Simon and Schuster, 2023.

Rating: 3.5/5 stars

Genre: cookbook

Series: N/A

Summary: In his widly popular Basics with Babish series, YouTube star Andrew Rea, who has amassed millions of subscribers, attempts, often fails, but always teaches cooking techniques for all levels of cooks. He’s explained everything from how to make challah bread and English muffins to Asian dumplings and homemade bacon. Now those classic, essential recipes (and many more) are compiled into an authoritative cookbook which contains hundreds of step-by-step photographs with tips and tricks to help you troubleshoot anything from broken butter to burnt bread to bony branzino. Basics with Babish isn’t just a kitchen Bible for a new generation of home chefs, it’s a proud reclamation of mistakes which encourages you to learn from your and Andrew’s missteps alike.

***Full review below.***

To be honest up front: I do follow Rea on his Binging With Babish YouTube channel. I'm generally a fan; I like the ease with which he presents his recipes and I like his sense of humor and the accessibility of his cooking. So my rating has nothing to do with being a fan or not.

First, let's start with the good. If you're a home cook and are looking to step up your game, this cookbook is a great way to learn how to elevate your recipes and make (as the title suggests) basics. Everything from pasta to bread to eggs to meat is covered so once you get a hang of the basics, you'll be in a good spot to expand and improve your skills.

I also think the directions are fairly clear and there are plenty of step-by-step photo guides to demonstrate trickier methods. I very much appreciated the introductions to each recipe, which not only include a blurb thay sounds very much like Rea's voice, but also offers some tips to rescue your dish if you've screwed it up. In that sense, this is a very forgiving book that openly encourages trying something new and being unafraid to make mistakes.

That being said, there are mistakes in this book, which is the main reason for my rating. I've made quite a few recipes out of here, and in more than one, I've found either a confusing typo or a step that seems to be missing. For example, in the recipe for donuts (under pastry cream), the ingredients call for 340 grams of whole milk while the instruction say to take 600 grams of the milk. I assumed this was meant to say 300 grams and it turned out fine, but still: something that could have been caught on review. Also, under the recipe for pappardelle bolognese, there is an instruction to remove the meat from the pot, but no me tion if or when it goes back in. Luckily, I was able to look up the recipe video on Rea's YouTube channel, but I still think these errors are the kind that could have been caught with more diligent editing and review.

TL;DR: Basics With Babish has some excellent introductory (basic) recipes and the encouraging tone it takes to try new things is admirable. However, multiple errors made for some confusing instructions.

11/02/2024

Yesterday was an extremely painful day, I did go for my wax and nails but couldn't do anything else...

But on the lighter side my Master and I sent each other a video. I must say apart from our video together I saw a man I truly adore and want . I really missed him. But it will take a bit before I actually will see him face to face again. I'm not ready and will work harder to make it happen .

I'm tired today, and will only rest, I need to get more pain meds today. I will take my son for a new cover and protector for his new phone. I must say my cunt is actually feeling smooth after yesterday's wax. I think I got a new place.

I'm getting fed up with the old man and his messages and it's getting so out of hand that I feel like blocking him. I told him I'm not interested in him and he ignored me and carried on.

I'm not feeling like communicating with other men at all this week. Yes I will ignore messages and calls. I want this operation fixing the pain, and hopefully as they say I will be losing some weight after this operation. I then have to wait 4weeks and then I'll join the gym. I need to get my body into shape. I want to feel good when I see my Master again.

I just cannot figure out my stupid head. I was anorexic and weighed very little, and when I started eating again, I went overboard. Baked muffins daily, pancakes and I was totally obsessed with marshmallows. And I've put on weight so quickly and could not stop. The thing that actually stopped me was the extreme inflammation in my body. I was in so much pain. The Dr said it was fibromyalgia, and to ease pain I had to cut out sugars, gluten, eggs and red meat and coffee. Maybe that's also why I still have pain, I actually only drink coffee. But I did cut out the rest and most of the inflammation is gone.......

Shit getting old is not easy

[talesfrommedinastation]

This is an excellent take, and even though our focus is tragic, this message is not.

Get creative. You might end up with a new classic book.

Don't believe me?

Dante Aligheri didn't like getting kicked out of Florence, so he took his favorite classic characters and made them all his buddies and had adventures in Hell where they got to mock the folks who were mean to him (I'm looking at YOU, Divine Comedy!).

Margaret Atwood didn't care much for Penelope getting sidelined in Odysseus's story, so she wrote her own.

I WAS FORCED TO READ JANE EYRE FANFICTION IN AP ENG LANG. Damn you Dr. Rosen and your obsession with post-colonial feminine literature!

Finally, academic research has found that fan fiction is beneficial for multiple reasons, ranging from helping out ESL students to mental health to improving reading comprehension.

Here's some peer-reviewed articles that may help us all:

Utilization-of-Online-Fan-fiction-to-Improve-English-Literacy-Skills-among-EFL-Undergraduate-Students.pdf (researchgate.net)

Excellence in Student Writing | Rhetorikos: Excellence in Student Composition (fordham.edu)

Loving Fanfiction | Exploring the Role of Emotion in Online Fandoms | (taylorfrancis.com)

Handbook of Adolescent Literacy Research - Google Books

Good luck and good writing. Tech deserved better and we all know it.

Listen, I can understand the slight humor about calling ourselves “delulu” about Tech’s death. But… it’s really not healthy.

We were gaslit. It was bad writing and planning on the director’s part to give us such an unsatisfying ending to Tech’s life, especially when he meant so much to autistic fans. The directors should be called out.

They knew exactly what they did in killing off the autistic character. Then they strung all of us along with him because we were hopeful about a character like us actually being able to be happy.

Delusional is a harsh word. We deserved better. Our frustration is valid. Please stop using it.

Beachwood Market, 2701 Belden Dr, Los Angeles (Hollywood Hills), CA 90068

There’s a cute cluster of businesses in Beachwood Canyon, near the entrance of Hollywoodland. I imagine a grocery store like Beachwood Market has been in that neighborhood for many decades. 

Beachwood Market isn’t a supermarket but it’s larger than a liquor store too. It has a staffed meat department and a pretty large liquor department. There’s also a deli with prepared salads, made to order sandwiches, and pastries.

The market looks like it hasn’t been renovated for decades. The selection is good but it’s not a fancy gourmet place. They do have some organic produce, heirloom tomatoes, British candy and cookies, a few imported specialty items like Greek cookies, chilled wine, and greeting cards. I wasn’t impressed with the ice cream or yogurt selection. They didn’t even have non-alcoholic kombucha.

They do not have an in-store bakery but they carry many muffins, cakes, bagels, and loaves of bread from Old Town Bakery in Rancho Cucamonga.

You can also pick up the latest celebrity gossip magazines. They have their own parking lot with a sign saying that it’s not for hikers.

3 out of 5 stars
