Ruby apple compote (prose, cooking)

Ruby apples（紅玉） are sour apples that are delicious as they are and also suitable for processing. Peel them, remove the core and seeds, cut them into 8 pieces lengthwise, soak them in water, add 50cc of sake, 10cc of lemon juice, and 40g of sugar, and simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes. Serve chilled. The hard apples will soften, resulting in a sweet compote with a nice aroma.

紅玉（リンゴ）のコンポート(prose, cooking)

紅玉は、酸味の強いリンゴで、そのままでも美味しいし、加工に適する。皮を剥き芯と種を抜いて縦に8分割して、ひたひたの水に漬け、酒５０ｃｃ、レモン汁１０ｃｃ、砂糖４０ｇを入れて火に掛け、２０分ほど弱火で煮る。冷やして食べる。硬いリンゴが柔らかくなり、香りも良い甘いコンポートに仕上がる。

so every time i draw Ruby (mc for a book I want to write) she gets more and more buff and i'm not fighting this

[myaatwins]

so. i know this isn't nothing new and there's probably a thousand (far more eloquently written) posts about this but! in light of chapter 166 i just wanted to reiterate this once more.

the movie arc seems like it's supposed to be about other characters understanding ai. who was ai hoshino? what were her flaws, her hopes, her dreams? she wasn't a goddess–far from it–so who was the real ai, the person rather than the idol?

and it failed on delivering. so bad!!!!

sure we have a bit about ruby Starting to understand ai. nothing from aqua because who cares right. because if aqua actually came to understand ai how could we have the tragic but "hopeful" ending?

ai's dream was never to perform at the dome.

the dome was always ichigo and miyako's dream. ai, being the The Ultimate People Pleaser, just smiled and nodded–acted as if she were happy.

so it's really weird how performing at the dome was reframed to be ai's dream, the fate that she could never fulfill–but hey it's okay because ruby will!!!

there was no need for history to be rewritten and this actually just makes it seem (no matter what the actual intent was) that the others never did learn to see through ai's facade.

(also might i add that this is also harmful to ruby's character in the sense that she is not allowed to have her own dreams. it would have been perfectly fine for her to want to perform at the dome because it was what SHE wanted to do but. alas after a certain point of the story ruby is not allowed to exist outside of brocon jokes or to be anything other than ai 2: electric boogaloo)

was her dream for ruby to be an idol and for aqua to be an actor?

when ai said that she imagined a future where ruby was an idol and aqua was an actor she didn't say it because that was her dream.

personally i think that because ai was dying and she knew it would cause her children pain she wanted them to know that their futures could still be bright and that they should have hope!! i don't even think she gave it much thought other than that they looked happy and like they had fun performing!!! which made her happy!!!!!!!

but she never would have imposed that future on them. ai knew about the entertainment world and she never would have forced her babies to be a part of it unless they wanted to.

so what were ai's dreams? easy: for her loved ones to be safe and happy.

this. that's it.

so

"the future that mama [...] illuminated for me"

is it though? would ai have wanted this? would she want the man that she had loved–who she had known as a boy who was hurting and who needed someone to be there for him–to die as nothing more than a cartoonish villain? would she want ruby to have to pretend she wasn't miserable so she could fulfill ai's not-dream of performing at the dome? would she want her precious son, who she loved from the moment she saw him on the ultrasound, to die a gruesome, painful death, even though he so desperately wanted to live?

not in a million years.

Hey guys, remember when Mr Stroud traumatized us with that Christmas one-shot? @teaandtoastandthyme and I wrote a hurt/comfort thread on Twitter to make up for it, and I realized it would make a nice one-shot 😆 Pen sketch by me!

Ohhhh, Anon's perfect apple ask is now giving me blessed imagery of Dusknoir cutting apple slices into bunny shapes. Maybe for Opal, maybe for him to show off, either way.

The soft, the dexterity, the GENTLENESS after such a prolonged period of violence he had undergone. Opal called him her gramps for a reason, after all.

Hey how does it feel to have given me a prompt that had me tearing up all throughout the process of drawing it because of how unbearably heartfelt and endearing it is?

shoutout to my first s/o in my ever after high dr, apple ml <3

it was all red lip gloss kisses, baskets of sweets, archery practice with swan-feather tufted arrows, good luck kisses before presentations, early bird x night owl, serving on royal student council together to prepare for both being rulers one day, strolling around bookend with our arms looped together
