Group F, Round 1, Poll 9:
Propaganda under the cut
Medea Solon
She is an expert girl boss she was gonna marry the prince but he "fell in love" with someone else so she swore revenge. Also that someone else also swore revend against the prince because he is awfull.so now they are girl bossing together. Medea gaslights he most loyal servant/friend/lover a lot she views him only as a tool, but he sees her as his dream girl. She sometimes sleeps with him and in other ways leads him on, letting him think there is a chance when really there never was. she is just doing it to keep him loyal to her. She gatekeeps a lot of information from everyone that she is close to, partially because she thinks it's wise to keep important information secret but mostly I think she does it to stay in control of everything all the time always.
Jaxon Hall
Gaslight: keeps lying to his protegée (who's also the main character) about everything from his past to his plans to the point where even we as the readers can’t be sure what he's up to at any given time, also makes said protegée question the trustworthiness of her loved ones to keep her emotionally dependent on him Gatekeep: his claim to fame is the authorship of a pamphlet that divides the in-universe supernatural community, so-called voyants (already oppressed by the government), into orders by the "purity" of their auras, which has led to widespread discrimination against the "lower orders" who are seen as less worthy as well as the imprisonment of a whole group of people in a slum. He's fine with that as long as it means he gets to be on top of this new hierarchy, bonus points if it also keeps the members of the "lower orders" from holding positions of authority in the voyant underworld. Girlboss: had to fight for himself from an early age as he was orphaned when he was four, then lived as an urchin on the streets of London, a city where he could have been killed just for existing as a voyant. Was then picked up by a group of criminals who exploited him and had him begging on the streets for ten years while he was also slowly being driven to insanity by his own supernatural gift. Given even the hint of an opportunity, he left that life behind and fought tooth and claw to never return to it: he went from illiterate teenager who didn't understand his own gift to famous author and expert on all things voyant in around six years with only the help of his own ruthless intelligence, and then continued to rise to power first as a leader in the criminal underworld and then as an important member of the government (yeah, the one trying to kill all voyants) after catching the interest of the person behind said government (all while financing his life in luxury with a human trafficking ring he's built behind the backs of both his allies in the underworld and his sponsors in the government). He does all of that acting like he should have a secret lair in a volcanoe somewhere and with enough charisma to make him, if not a particularly good person, definitely one of the most interesting characters you've ever encountered.

I have developed a measure of computer pricing that I'm calling the MacBook quotient; to calculate the MacBook quotient you find a computer with a comparable processor to whatever version of apple silicone you're looking at, multiply the RAM by at least 1.5, multiply the storage by 4, then divide the cost of the other computer by the cost of the apple and round to the nearest tenth.
So this computer on the right:
Costs $1649.
This computer costs $1569:
It has an apple quotient of 1.
This computer costs $999
This one costs $897. It has an Apple Quotient of .9
If you're thinking about buying a mac, look for a computer with these specs, check that it's apple quotient is 1 or lower, then buy the other computer you are always going to be able to find a computer that is more computer than an apple computer for the same price or lower.
Anyway, there are three computers that are a hell of a lot of bang for their buck and are either the same price or a whole lot cheaper than low-end mac money.
ASUS for cheap: https://www.newegg.com/asus-f1502va-ns96-15-6-intel-core-i9-13900h-16gb-intel-iris-xe-graphics-1-tb-pcie/p/N82E16834236520
Acer for the same cost as the mac: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16834360366?Item=9SIA24GKEB4295
MSI for only thirty dollars more: https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16834156672

Samhain Cinnamon Rolls
Because Samhain/Halloween is in exactly a week from now, I am sharing a Cinnamon roll recipe with you all! These cinnamon rolls are super soft and sweet, perfect for celebrating Samhain or during spooky movie nights.
Witchy tips during baking:
Mix clockwise and say your intentions for the rolls out loud, this could be "I welcome abundance into my life with open arms.", "I embrace the blessings of the harvest and celebrate the abundance it brings." or if you plan to share the rolls with friends and family: "May these cinnamon rolls nurture the bonds of love and friendship among us."
When you sprinkle the spices into the cake, do this clockwise and say each correspondence out loud as you do this: Cinnamon: for love, and warmth Cardamom: for attraction and harmony.
Ingredients:
For the dough:
500 grams of plain wheat
1 packet (or 7 grams) of instant yeast
200ml milk/water
1 egg
75 grams of soft butter
80 grams of light brown sugar
1 tsp cardamom (optional)
For the filling:
150 grams of dark brown sugar
80 grams of soft butter
3 tbs cinnamon
Mix all the dry ingredients with the wet ones, knead the dough for 15 minutes by hand or for 10 minutes if you have an machine.
After kneading, form a ball with the dough and let it rest on a warm place covered with a towel.
Meanwhile make the filling for the rolls, and store in the fridge.
After an hour, the dough should have been doubled in size. Form a rectangle and use a rolling pin to flatten it (1/1,5 cm thick).
Spread the filling over the rolled out dough and roll the dough up.
Use an knife and cut the dough in 10 equal rolls, place these in a round or square oiled baking mold/ or on a baking tray.
Bake for 15-20 minutes on 200c (392F).
OPTIONAL! Icing! Mix powdered sugar with a squeeze of lemon juice, mix well and pour over the rolls once cooled down.

The Best Friends Deserve Bester
Chuck Taylor and Trent Beretta have been teaming together as The Best Friends since August 2013. In January 2014, they won PWG's Dynamite Duumvirate Tag Team Title Tournament, becoming number one contenders to the PWG World Tag Team Championship. They lost their subsequent challenge against The Young Bucks at Mystery Vortex II. The only other time Chuck and Trent have competed for those titles was at 2019's Hand of Doom where they lost to The Rascalz. What that means is that out of seven teams who won the PWG DDT4 between 2007 and 2015, The Best Friends are the only ones to have never held the PWG World Tag Team Championship.
Alright, well maybe they had better luck in NJPW. Trent's a four-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion with Rocky Romero. If Roppongi Vice can succeed, then I'm sure The Best Friends can... come fourth in the B Block in the 2017 World Tag League and finish eighth overall in the 2018 League.
No, that make sense. Best Friends as a team have always been predominantly American based. What about their ROH run in 2017? I know they had a few title matches there.
Loss vs. The Young Bucks in ROH World Tag Team Championship tornado three way match at Best in the World 2017 (also featured War Machine)
Loss vs. Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks in ROH Six Man Tag Team Championship match at Global Wars 2017 Day 3 (teamed with Flip Gordon)
Loss vs. Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks in ROH Six Man Tag Team Championship match on ROH Wrestling Episode #326 (teamed with Rocky Romero)
Loss vs. Motor City Machine Guns in ROH World Tag Team Championship match at Final Battle 2017
Ok, enough messing around. Let's get into the AEW run. Orange Cassidy has done a great job as International Champion. Kris Statlander is enjoying a good reign as TBS Champion. How have Chuck and Trent done?
Win vs. SCU and Private Party at Fyter Fest 2019 to advance to All Out for an opportunity at a first round bye in the AEW World Tag Team Championship tournament (good start)
Loss vs. Dark Order at All Out 2019 (who needs a first round bye anyway?)
Loss vs. SCU in first round of AEW World Tag Team Championship tournament (ah, that bye would have been handy)
Loss vs. Kenny Omega & Adam Page in a Number One Contender's Fatal Four Way (also featured The Young Bucks and Proud & Powerful) (got four-and-a-half stars from Dave Meltzer)
Loss to The Young Bucks in a Number One Contender's Battle Royal (not gonna list all the other teams)
Win vs. Private Party in a Number One Contender's match at Double Or Nothing 2020 (that's more like it)
Win vs. Chris Jericho & Sammy Guevara to remain number one contenders (yes, go on lads!)
Loss vs. Kenny Omega & Adam Page in AEW World Tag Team Championship match on Dynamite: Fyter Fest 2020 Day 1 (ah, damn it)
Loss to FTR in Number One Contender's Gauntlet match (again, not gonna list all the other teams)
Win vs. Proud & Powerful in a Parking Lot Fight (FIVE STARS BAYBEE!)
Loss to reDRagon in a Number One Contender's Battle Royal (AEW love them some battle royals)
Loss to The Young Bucks in a Number One Contender's Casino Tag Team Royale (this was literally the week after the previous battle royal)
Win w/Orange Cassidy vs. The Trustbusters in first round of AEW Trios Championship tournament (ooo, promising)
Loss w/Orange Cassidy vs. Adam Page & Dark Order in semi-final of AEW Trios Championship tournament (never mind, I guess)
Loss w/Orange Cassidy vs. Death Triangle for vacant AEW Trios Championship (can't tell me they shouldn't have won this one given PAC was already All-Atlantic Champion at the time)
Loss w/Orange Cassidy vs. Death Triangle in AEW Trios Championship match (one day lads, one day)
Loss w/Orange Cassidy to AR Fox & Top Flight in $300,000 Three Kings Christmas Casino Trios Battle Royal (we're really taking the piss now with these battle royals)
Loss to Jay Lethal & Jeff Jarrett in Revolution Tag Team Battle Royal (they were literally the runners up in this one, come on)
Loss w/Orange Cassidy vs. House of Black in AEW Trios Championship match (stop teasing me)
Loss vs. Aussie Open in IWGP Tag Team Championship match (they could have had a Japan run after all)
Loss w/Bandido vs. House of Black in AEW Trios Championship match (Bandido's cool but surely it's gotta be Orange for the eventual trios run)
Loss vs. Aussie Open in ROH World Tag Team Championship Fatal Four Way at ROH Death Before Dishonor 2023 (also featured Lucha Bros and The Kingdom) (another big win coming any day now)
Loss vs. Jon Moxley & Claudio Castagnoli in Parking Lot Brawl (four-and-a-half stars for the Parking Lot sequel)
Win w/Orange Cassidy, Eddie Kingston & Penta vs. Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, and Proud & Powerful in Stadium Stampede at All In 2023 (the biggest of big wins, another four-and-a-half stars)
Loss to Dark Order in ROH Number One Contender's Battle Royal (great way to follow up that momentum after All In)
Loss to The Righteous in ROH Number One Contender's Fatal Four Way (also featured The Hardys and The Kingdom) (again, great follow up)
Obviously there's been more matches in between the ones I highlighted. The Best Friends have had some good moments here and there but overall, it feels like there's been missed opportunities. No follow up after the initial Parking Lot Brawl. No Trios Championship run. Lost in the shuffle again following All In.
The Best Friends deserve bester.

☔️
Now that I've actually read The Beautiful and Damned (essay still incoming), I've been thinking of an AU fic that explores what if Jamie did read the book in season 1. It....intrigues me for a number of reasons.
The fact that Jamie was the only one of the group to receive what is essentially a cautionary tale (no we didn't see most of the picks, but it feels safe to say that Jamie was the one Ted thought needed 'correcting')
The protagonist ends up a bitter, angry, abusive alcoholic. Granted Ted could not have known about Jamie’s dad at the time, but ough. Ted.
Giving this book to anyone and going 'here, this reminds me of who you are' is frankly insulting. I think if Jamie were to confront Ted about that, Ted would consider that half the job done. He clearly just wants Jamie to think about his actions and how he treats people. Unfortunately I could see this backfiring on Ted. He may not mean it personally, but I think Jamie would take it personally, especially because--
Aside from the fact that the protag is rich and full of himself and found to be charming, that guy is nothing like Jamie. In fairness to Ted, those are basically 3 of the 4 things he knows about Jamie. In unfairness to Ted, the other 1 thing he knows is that Jamie is a professional athlete who by definition had to work hard to get to where he is. Meanwhile the protag for TB&D has never worked for anything in his life -- the opposite of Jamie, our battler. In fact one of the defining traits and the reason the protag falls into being a penniless drunk is because throughout his life he was given many chances, and he ignored them all.
I think Jamie would likely get bogged down in the details. On the idea that the book was meant as a critique of him, rather than a lesson he could learn by. Another example of how Ted bringing up topics in a roundabout way tends to get misconstrued by Jamie as mind games.
Bonus round: the protag is very classist. The book occasionally alludes to the unfairness of this, but it is very much an ongoing topic for the protag on why he deserves all his money.
Bonus round: the protag is exceedingly misogynistic. The book almost never disagrees with this. Even season one Jamie 'women can do anything' Tartt would never.
So I think that a fic that explored Jamie's journey while reading this book would be fascinating. From the beginning where it's clear from the start that this protagonist is a spoiled, snobby twit to the end where the protag ends up a functioning alcoholic who yells at his wife and reminisces that by preventing himself from treating her in a physically violent manner, it makes him hate her even more. By the end of the book I can see Jamie being actively triggered by what's on the page--
--which would serve in a number of ways to kickstart Jamie's troubled history a good three episodes before the curse fire.
So yeah, this fic idea is less than a week old and I am still working on it but. Intrigued, I am.
Also I keep envisioning a running gag like that episode of The Office where Michael is watching The Devil Wears Prada and Pam is keeping track of where he is in the movie by what he's quoting at her. Except in this fic, Ted (Pam) would not know what the hell Jamie was talking about for a good long while, because he hasn't actually read the book since early in high school.
Why do I think Ted hasn't read it since early high school? Because if he'd read it later, he'd probably remember that there's a guy in the book who kills himself by shooting himself. It's literally one of the last parts of the book, and it's meant to serve as a punctuation on the consequences of the protag's actions.
Just a thought, but I think if Ted had read it after his dad dying, he might not suggest it to someone. Even if the meaning of the book fit.
For fic related reasons though, this means that Ted's trauma could ALSO be introduced way sooner. In season one even! This fic could have so much bonding through book-relevant trauma it's crazy to think about.
So. Yeah. New wip thoughts in progress. Whoops.
#in other news i got halfway through writing that essay and had people come over and I have not gone back to it -.-#ask game#wip game#suicide cw#abuse mention cw#ted lasso#jamie tartt#jamie tartt book club

hello dear Jes, I am all out of good meal ideas!! I’m always in awe of your drive to cook and the great-looking meals you create. Any good recs for yummy and relatively easy / quick recipes? thank u 🙏
hello!! yes here are some very easy, low effort low prep recipes i love. the bolded ones are the ones i find myself making most often when i am like wow i do NOT want to cook but if i must do so, i wish to make the easiest thing ever.
shakshuka (all recipes are basically the same! i make it with canned tomatoes to cut down on prep, add a sliced jalapeno to make it spicier, and top it with feta and cilantro. if you are not crazy about eggs my sister often makes it with chickpeas and no eggs!)
thai peanut noodles (you can make as-is but i often add roasted broccoli and air fryer tofu if i have time!)
ricotta pasta with roasted broccoli and chickpeas (i roast the broccoli rather than broiling it as i am afraid of broiling lol but it's very easy and delish)
creamy corn pasta (my beloved)
spaghetti with onion-"bacon", corn, and basil
roasted sweet potato tacos (roast sweet potatoes, warm black beans on the stove with spices, and make easy quick-pickled onions if i have time - then you can add avocado, sour cream, cilantro, and any other toppings you like!)
potato egg and cheese breakfast tacos (i roast or air-fry small-cubed potatoes, scramble eggs, melt cheese into the eggs, and top with the salsa of your choice!)
migas breakfast tacos
tortellini with pesto and roasted veggies
caprese toasts (toast bread of your choice, then add pesto, sliced mozzarella, sliced cherry tomatoes, basil if you have it, and balsamic glaze... my all-time fave easy/no-cook meal)
pesto pasta with frozen peas (another super easy one i make when i want to barely cook at all - you boil the frozen peas in the pasta pot for the last three minutes of the pasta's cook time. then add pesto, grated parmesan, a squeeze of lemon, and halved cherry tomatoes if you have them)
easy asparagus soup (thinly slice a leek and cut 1-2 bunches of asparagus into half inch pieces. melt 3 TBS of butter in your pot, then saute the leek plus 5-6 cloves of garlic for 8 min. add asparagus pieces and 4-6 cups of veggie stock, bring to a boil, salt and pepper, and simmer for 30 min. transfer it all to a blender and blend, then add 1/4th cup grated parmesan and the juice of half a lemon. serve with crusty croutons and sliced chives)
roasted sweet potato & figs dish (you can also make with dried dates if you can't find figs!)
easy chana masala
nectarine, arugula, and feta salad (best in the summer when it's nectarine season but delish all year round... you can also use peaches. i usually serve it on a bed of quinoa so it's more filling/more of a main dish. the basil dressing is to die for i could eat it with a spoon)
avocado & egg sandwich (you can make this on a bagel, english muffin, or bread... just toast your bread, mash avocado onto the bread & sprinkle with red pepper flakes, and then scramble or fry eggs to your liking and put on top)

Cake Coffee
Versions 1 (Mug Cake) and 2 (Tiramisu)
Have a drink and a snack all in one with Cake Coffee.
I made this 2 ways, one as a mug cake, the other as a tiramisu. One is far easier, one actually tastes good.
Let’s start with a more literal interpretation:
Mug Cake Version (nope)
All this is is chocolate cake baked in a mug, topped with coffee. You can up any boxed cake mix by swapping out oil with melted butter, and water with milk.
When baking in a mug, put it in the oven, then turn it on. I filled this mug half way and baked it at 350*F. It took about 35 minutes.
Let it cool a little in the oven after, leaving the door ajar so the mug can cool without cracking.
Pour over some coffee and call it a day.
Final Product:
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/07f864d4b69c651f3bebef39bcac85d5/de768f56c19796ce-44/s540x810/9ba18eb1c3da3277967147c82dd669804fb4b0e3.jpg)
This is a good old mug of soggy chocolate cake. Texture-wise, I am not a fan.
Tiramisu Version (yes!)
Faithful versions of this take hours and lots of whisking. Here’s some bastardized tiramisu that cuts corners.
This is 5 steps in one. Make your lady fingers. I used this All Recipes recipe, and piped rounds that would fit in the mug. You can also by some premade, and snap them in half.
Make whipped cream by whipping 1 c of heavy cream with 1 tbs of sugar and 1 tsp pf vanilla.
In another bowl, cream 8 oz marscapone and 6 oz of condensed sweetened milk. Fold in the whipped cream.
Using a fork, dunk lady fingers in a shallow bowl of coffee. Layer lady fingers, marscapone mixture, and a dusting of cocoa powder. Repeat until the mug is filled.
Final Product:
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/1ebed7a89441a77687a43a2237ba30fc/de768f56c19796ce-c1/s540x810/c9328eeaee06fd6b1f6b8e2bc352a4b0edcb0448.jpg)
This one did taste far better, but it was also far more work than the other versions planned out.

introducing: anti-hangry cookies
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/d73e33aa376e37e8b0aff8ed2fa4bf11/98c60d4d8c49eaea-4d/s540x810/ca67f1d2999a29f99a73d4ce92f703fb43566606.jpg)
so i have 3 problems going for me right now when it comes to food. 1) i am on meds that kill my appetite, so i forget to eat until other physical symptoms manifest, and even then it is difficult to make myself actually consume something. 2) my sense of taste never recovered after i had covid, so my desire to snack has gone way down and i no longer find most things enjoyable or fulfilling to eat. 3) even though i am overweight, the part of my brain that sees items 1+2 as a good thing that could make me lose weight is currently gagged and straightjacketed because she is crazypants and keeps trying to kill me. i am a recovering anorexic in the same way some people are recovering alcoholics; it's something that i have to actively monitor in myself even years after "finishing" treatment." i MUST eat, or i will spiral.
by about 4pm i am literally weak with a hunger i cannot feel, my mind foggy and my whole body basically vibrating with hanger, and fighting tooth and nail to make myself eat something, anything, please. enter the anti-hangry cookie.
i originally made these when i was nursing to get my milk supply up (they are technically called "lactation cookies"); i don't know if they actually helped with that, but damn were they great to have around because they're the super rare combination of taste good and good for you and easy to eat that is absolutely essential in those bleary early days of parenthood. turns out that kind of snack is necessary outside of that time period, as well.
the good: rolled oats, full of whole grain, fiber, vitamins, and even some protein. brewers yeast, with more good vitamins and protein, plus good for the tummy. flax seed, B vitamins, omega 3s, fiber.
the fantastic: basically the best chocolate chip oatmeal cookie ever. there's a hint of cinnamon, and somehow the brewers yeast and flax seed only enhance that flavor rather than making it taste too, well, healthy lol. also you cannot taste the coconut oil, so if that's not your favorite flavor, fear not: you get the benefits without that sunscreen taste.
INGREDIENCE
3c old-fashioned rolled oats 1 1/2c all-purpose flour 5 tbs brewers yeast 3 tbs ground flax seeds 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp salt 3/4c (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temp 1/4c unrefined coconut oil 1 1/2c sugar 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk, room temp 2 tsp vanilla extract 1 bag dark chocolate chips
optional: 1/2c peanut butter, SO GOOD
whisk together oats, flour, yeast, flax, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
beat butter, coconut oil, and sugar (and pb, if using) together until fluffy, then add the egg and yolk and beat to combine. add the vanilla and beat again. gradually add in the dry ingredients on low speed until just mixed. it will be a bit crumbly. then mix in the chocolate chips.
scoop the dough into 1-inch rounds (i use a cookie scoop and then roll them in my hands). rolling into a ball is actually fairly important here, since otherwise they'll crumble apart a fair bit in the oven; rolling smushes them into a delightfully dense cookie. (obvs go ahead and skip the rolling if crumbly cookies are your jam.) place on a baking sheet about 2" apart and bake at 350 for 10-14 minutes.
the original recipe says it makes 20-22 cookies but that is BONKERS because i can easily get 36 good-sized cookies out of this. i typically bake a dozen and freeze the rest (in ball form, don't throw a big lump of dough into your freezer), and then bake them for 12-16 minutes straight from the freezer.

here's the remaining ~2 dozen dough balls in my freezer. confession: i actually prefer the ones baked from frozen to those made from the fresh dough! they stay taller in the oven and spread less, creating a delightful cookie experience that is somehow dense and fluffy at the same time.
try one in the shower. just do it. shower cookie is best cookie

![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/1e945b991d5063f81fabf1dae58fc6a6/af47a115851ca704-f4/s640x960/e99415e493b395be2acfbf65df6828c07ba1e482.jpg)
Propaganda:
Kaiser:
– sou lésbica mas sei apreciar um bom homem
– meu parça o mano exala sensualidade fumante gostoso moreno MINEIRO (minas melhor estado pprt) nerdola cabeludo (a cicatriz fudida deu mais charme ainda) faria o maior sucesso no tumblr. trans coded (pra mim) mandando a imagem deles desmaiado pq eh mto engraçado pra mim. paz entre nós ✌️
Gal:
– tem cara de personagem de donghua onde eles ficam queerbaiting por 12 temporadas antes de morrer
– vilão slay c backstory fudido, trauma religioso e uma irmã perdida. e ele é emo. como se n bastasse BISEXUAIS AMAM HOMENS DE CABELO COMPRIDO MAIS Q QLQR COISA. ELE TB USA BATOM PRETO COMO Q O GAL N GANHOU O ULTIMO TORNEIO. E TATUAGENS. E UNHA PINTADA. EU TO HIPERVENTILANDO.
Translation:
Kaiser:
– I'm a lesbian but I know how to appreciate a good man
– bro my brother exudes sensuality, smoker hot brunette FROM MINAS GERAIS (minas gerais the best state tbh) nerd with big hair (the fucked up scar gave even more charm) would be a huge hit on tumblr. trans coded (for me) sending an image of him passed out because it's really funny to me. peace ✌️
Gal:
– he looks like a donghua character where they queerbait for 12 seasons before dying
– slay villain w fucked up backstory, religious trauma and a lost sister. and he is emo. as if it wasn't enough BISEXUALS LOVE MEN WITH LONG HAIR MORE THAN ANYTHING. HE ALSO WEARS BLACK LIPSTICK HOW DIDN'T GAL WIN THE LAST TOURNAMENT. AND TATTOOS. AND PAINTED NAILS. I'M HYPERVENTILATING.
Translator note: minas gerais is a Brazilian state!
