𝙃𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝘽𝙖𝙧𝙠 - 𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩! 🎃

Honestly the easiest thing evvveerr and when you aren't a professional Baker things like this are always a winner - kids can get involved, doesn't take 2 hours and doesn't involve a heap load of mess!

There are loads of ways to make it - some people use white chocolate with orange food colouring for the 'vibes' but some buy pre-coloured chocolate', some make their own shapes for the topping, various forms of chocolate you can use, some melt chocolate in a Bain-Marie, some microwave etc. Also this doesn't just apply to Halloween - can make it any theme, any day of the week 🤌

𝘐𝘯𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴

• 200g bar of Dairyfine chocolate - both milk and dark

• 60g White chocolate buttons

• Large Skittles

• Marshmallows

• Pumpkin shaped Reeces

• Halloween sweets

• Halloween sprinkles

𝘖𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘵𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨�� -

• Chopped nuts

• Salted Crackers

• Mini chocolate chips

• Pretzel sticks, broken in half

• Oreo's

• Mini marshmallows

• Candy corn

• M&M's

• Dolly Mixture

𝘔𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘥

1) I used a rectangular tin which I lined with baking parchment (makes it easy to remove chocolate) used 3 full bars of the 200g chocolate which I lined flat in the tin.

2) Put the tin in the oven and cook for about 4 minutes at 200⁰ til melted - be careful not to overcook the chocolate, so just keep checking to make sure it's a silky smooth texture. When melted just used fork to blend dark and milk chocolate together (but not fully)

3) Use whatever 'spooky' themed topping to add to the top - go crazy.

4) Leave to cool, then refrigerate.

5) You can try and use a knife to cut up but it breaks apart easy into shards.

6) Enjoy!

ngl i've been kinda surprised by the lack of veilguard stuff i've seen on my dash since it released - i've very thoroughly given up on it, but even ppl who seemed hyped about it have largely just... not been posting abt veilguard at all.

then i looked in the da critical tag and, uh, yeah. i can understand why. it's not an actively bad game, but it sounds to be very... shallow and mcu-ified? i'll admit i had basically given up on veilguard, but i did kinda want bioware to prove me wrong. not that i would've bought it anyway given the way they've treated their company veterans. it's just such a shame.

finally got around making a proper outfit reference sheet for nathan! he likes wearing dark clothes which really emphasizes just how pale he is. he was a STEM developer at MOBIUS for nine years what did you expect </3 click for higher resolution and to get a closer look at all the details! outfits from left to right: his gear for the evil within 2, 1am convenience store trip, his mobius gear, and an improvised outfit for my own fictional the evil within 3 =^)

i used to freehand comics all the time as a child and since the part i liked was the drawing part i would just draw panel after panel because i didn't want to stop drawing to think about icky icky words, plus the story TOTALLY still made perfect sense! to me! and noone else, but 'whoooo caaaaares omgggg its not like comics and sequantial art are a communicative meeediummmm lmaoooooo'. i spent my entire childhood telling myself stuff like "oh pfft I know this story by heart- ill SIMPLY remember the dialogue and write it later" ...and. I can't help but admire baby maiora's (call that a minora ba tm tsk) fucking audacity? hubris? confident wrongness? kid couldn't even remember to finish the comics in the first place? INCREDIBLE levels of unearned self assurance, wish that were me, genuinely- what an icon!!! anyway i think i have forever cursed myself

I’ve started watching Utena because of you. What. Is going on

HI. WELCOME TO THE CLUB, watch the trigger warnings. but yeah, revolutionary girl utena veers more and more towards surrealism the further you get into the series. it often and voluntarily forfeits narrative/logical consistency in favor of visual storytelling, metaphors and symbolism. i was just talking about it with nic the other day, and if the story weren't so harrowing, i would recommend it to everyone who wants to get into literary analysis, because it is SO packed with symbolism EVERYWHERE that it actually encourages you to try to decode it.

whatever you think utena is about, it is NOT. you can't go in and treat it like your 49293th classical shoujo. utena is a firework show of visual symbolism and it very rarely, if ever, explains itself to the viewer. it refuses to handhold you, but it never berates you for trying and getting it wrong either. there is SO much handholding in modern day media, but utena trusts its viewer to take away something meaningful from itself and to piece its message together on their own. it's one of my favourite pieces of media of all time just for that

Spoiler... ish... Choi Dae Hoon is about to

Show up as a character in 'The Judge From Hell'....

I swear to goodness feel like maybe their budget wasn't big enough to bring in Shin Ha Kyun and give him a cameo. The cast already looks expensive af as it is.

But still... I have seen Lee Gyu Hoe[Kang JinMook], and Park Ji-hoon [Kwon Hyuk].

but still! lol. Who else will join the cast? It's still airing as it is. I wish they'd give JinGoo a cameo or something. Though, like I said, the cast already looks expensive, especially in the side of actual hell, and the actual actors who play the demons.

but either way... I'm really enjoying BitNa/Justitia giving Kang JinMook a hard time every time they're in the same scene. [smiles]

Finished Evil West and did my fave thing after finishing games, looking at fanart and cosplays now spoiler free! 🤠

Only to discover the gutting truth that apparently no one cares about this game whatsoever, and here I was expecting to please my eyeballs with Chester fanart... dang 💔

There aren't even good quality pics of him on Google images like bro why did no one love this game?? I loved it a lot???

Well, anyway, I'll provide... whether people care or not lmao

I can totally picture Akira Kurosawa having made an Arthurian movie. In my mind the only cast I can think up would be Toshiro Mifune as Lancelot but your ideas are amazing.

Referring to these two posts.

Thank you so much! Man, Kurosawa would've made a fantastic Arthurian movie---most likely would've been in black-and-white depending on the era but imagining the color palettes he used in Kagemusha? It's nice to dream!

Toshiro Mifune as Lancelot would've been great too! I'm imagining that scenario being made in the early 1950s: Takashi Shimura playing an aging King Arthur, strong-armed into re-marrying for the sake of his kingdom despite his opposition to it (let's say Guinevere's played by Yoshiko Yamaguchi). Toshiro Mifune plays Lancelot as a loyal retainer, and complications ensue when a romance blooms between Mifune and Yamaguchi. Honestly if you cast 1950s!Mifune as Lancelot there's no helping anybody who's cast as King Arthur, hence the different take. (Side-note this gif has the strong Vulgate!Lancelot energy.)

In the 1960s? Gonna go out on a limb and say he'd make a great Sir Kay--Sanjuro is basically how I picture (and to an extent, write) Sir Kay anyways. Sir Kay gets to be a competent badass, at least in my heart.

I also think he'd make a great King Arthur in a pro-Arthur take on the story; a king desperately trying to uphold his moral code in the midst of uncertainly, all while the world crumbles to pieces. If that's not quality jidaigeki I don't know what is!

(Am I just using this post to justify Mifune!posting? Maybe)
