#the coffee exchange

[gatorpond]

for those who would like to support Palestinian olive farmers, equal exchange has Palestine-sourced olive oil! they're an amazing worker owned co-op that works closely with local farmers to support sustainability and pay fair wages.

i frankly cannot afford it, but i know some folks can and would like to get some. it comes in packs of 6 bottles, so if you can get 6 friends together, each person can pay for one bottle!

they also have some of the most delicious coffee and hot cocoa mixes that i've ever gotten, and the same approach applies. given how horrific farming and labor practices are in both of those industries, i highly recommend supporting them and getting some amazing products in return if you can afford it.

Been really hoping to find some sort of college/dorm au where all the main arcane characters have to live in close proximity to each other. Mostly because it sounds like it’d be pure chaos and hilarity. The council members or main leaders of the undercity could be the faculty while the students are the “kids” of the show.

Jinx and Vi happen to be the adopted kids of one of the most well liked teachers/profs (vander) and have a few friends who aren’t adopted but might as well be (Claggor and Mylo) tho recently he adopted another kid after Jinx found her on the street (isha) and they are practically bonded at the hip. Especially since isha has been a HUGE help to Jinx’s mental health.

I think it’d be neat if Vander were in a car crash that almost kills them all. Powder was the one that unintentionally caused the crash by distracting Vander while he was driving. Vander goes into a coma, and Vi is understandably pissed and scared and it’s mostly aimed at powder. Vi stays by Vander’s bedside. Luckily, things weren’t too bad and he woke up within a month but powder and mostly Vi honestly, needed time apart. Powder went to live with Silco [they had their arguments but after seeing Vander almost die with his kids? Everything seemed a little childish after that] and Vi stayed with Vander. They spent a few years apart with their own lives with only occasional interaction until they wanted to reconcile and reconnect. It wasn’t easy and sometimes things are still weird but for the most part, things are good!

Jayce, Mel and Viktor all held off on college because of other issues they needed to take care of so they’re older than the rest of the cast. Mel was the death of her brother. She didn’t take it well and the family was going through issues as it was so Mel was sent out of state to college where she could have new experiences and meet new people. Viktor mostly had health issues that have been lessened but not eradicated (singed is his doctor. He works in experimental new ways of treating disease. This was mainly to cure his daughter). At the very least he can get a degree now. He got in on scholarship btw. Jayce was working for the Kirammans since high school but in order to move to a higher positions he needs a degree. He’s attending on their sponsorship.

Jinx skipped two grades so technically she’s ekko’s upperclassman even though she’s the same age. She will lord this over him so long as they’re both alive.

Idk I like the idea of all of them living relatively happily and generally annoying the shit out of each other. I mean, imagine jinx playing pranks on Jayce and not really knowing whether she likes Viktor or thinks his life advice is annoying. She enjoys tinkering with him and Ekko tho. Meanwhile ekko is possibly getting hunted down the second vi realizes that he’s dating her sister. Jinx isn’t sure whether to be amused and happy or concerned for ekko’s wellbeing. Similarly, when jinx found out Vi was dating Cait, she didn’t react well. They fought a lot when they first met. And Jinx’s insecurity over being replaced didn’t help. They worked it out eventually and have since bonded over shooting guns and lightly bullying Vi. Also Jayce and Viktor and Mel are all in a weird spot romantically. Up to you whether they all just date each other or fight for Jayce. Either way, their getting together is messy.

I will say that sometimes things just explode in the middle of the night and people have stopped questioning it ever since they set up a communication system that just assures them that it’s not anything dangerous. Usually it’s Jinx blowing things up but it’s often Ekko and Viktor. Also if you fall asleep in a common area you have to accept that you will get your face painted on. Caitlyn is So Done with people leaving their projects out on the common tables also.

Jayce and Vi regularly meet up to work out together and punch the shit out of each other. Meanwhile Caitlyn and Mel have tea together and talk shit abt people.

Viktor is the capybara of the friend group. Everyone is ok with him at the very least but as such he can and will roast any and everyone if prompted. Mel and Caitlyn are usually the ones with the collective brain cell. Ekko is not because when out in the same room as 3 other scientists just as unhinged as he is if not more so and 2 people more responsible than him, all sense of leadership dies.

some kind of. miscellaneous conversation sometime during ac3?? this was actually part of a much longer scene that went in a more serious direction than I originally planned once I started drawing it. I ended up starting over, but I couldnt bring myself to delete the pages I had already started (which is why the dialogue's a little janky bc I decided to redo it before I got to the lettering stage RIP) so I cleaned them up a bit to post :') get some sleep, desmond.

Sam and Dean don't work with so many fan fiction tropes because they're just too weird. If Sam and Dean woke up handcuffed together, they already stand so close they probably wouldn't even notice. If there was 'only one bed' left in the motel room, they would probably fight obnoxiously over who would take the floor/couch for fifteen minutes before agreeing to just share the bed. And the whole time they'd be trying to give the other more of the blanket/space on the bed because they're just so weird. In a fuck or die situation, Sam and Dean would have no qualms about it whatsoever. Honestly they would probably pop a stiffy from being able to lend their body to ensure the other's survival at their own expense. Like, that's just how they are in the show. Fake dating? These two already act like an old married couple. If they started acting like they were dating, they would barely have to play anything up or do anything different. They're just that weird. Like, I'm telling you. Fan fiction tropes and Sam and Dean don't work. Because they're just so, so weird.

to @riceofthepuffedvariety who requested jimmy/tango and magical realism AU. for @mcyt-drabble-exchange

Don't tell Grian, but Jimmy's favorite part of the day is when a certain customer sweeps into their cafe. He never shows up at the same time but always in the same way: disheveled, squinting against the sunlight, redstone smudged into his clothes, heavy gloves tucked into his back pocket.

Tango stares up at the menu. Jimmy desperately tries not to seem nervous. He fails miserably, wings smacking into Grian despite his attempts to settle them against his back.

Tango steps up to the register and grins up at Jimmy, all sharp teeth and candlelight hair, and says, “Hi Rancher,”

i dont think sam and manny would like each other much, at least at first (especially sam, manny is A Lot) but they eventually bond by rite of being the only ones in their social circle who cares about fitness. they develop a friendly but super intense strava rivalry

Elain Archeron Cookie Exchange, Part 2!

Thanks again to @elainarcheronweek for creating such a wholesome event! I have so many new recipes to try!

Coffee Cake cookies are below!

I made these cookies for my dissertation prospectus defense, and I passed! These cookies are adapted from the palatable life, and are a cinnamon brown sugar cookie with a cinnamon crumble and vanilla icing drizzled on top!

COOKIES

1/2 cup butter softened (113 g)

1/2 cup vegetable oil (100 g)

1 cup brown sugar (215 g)

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla

2 tsp cinnamon

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (325 grams)

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

CRUMBLE

1/4 cup butter softened (56 g)

1/4 cup brown sugar (54 g)

1/2 cup flour (65 g) (I live in a humid place, you might need less!)

3/4 tsp cinnamon

pinch of salt

ICING

1/2 cup powdered sugar (56 g)

1 tbsp milk

splash of vanilla

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350 F. To make the dough, combine the butter, oil and brown sugar. Mix for a couple minutes until it is smooth. The mixture should be lighter in color and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and mix again.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to evenly incorporate.

Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.

To make the streusel, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix with a spoon or your hand. Start with 1/3 cup of flour. The mixture should stick together, but should also crumble when you run it through your fingers. If it isn't crumbling, add 1 tbsp additions of flour until it crumbles, up to roughly a 1/2 cup of flour. If you live in a humid place, like me, it might take a little more flour than a 1/2 cup to make it work!

Using a large cookie scoop, scoop a ball of dough onto a lined baking sheet, at least 3 inches (7.5 cm) apart. These are large cookies, and they will spread.

Using the back of your cookie scoop or your fingers, make an indent on the top of the dough. Sprinkle a couple tablespoons of the streusel on the top of the cookie, into the indent.

Bake the cookies at 350 for 10-12 minutes. Let sit on the baking sheet for at least 2-5 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack.

While the last batch is baking, you can make the icing. Combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla in a small bowl and whisk until it's smooth and runny. If you like more icing, I’d double the recipe.

Once the cookies have cooled slightly, drizzle on lots of icing! Enjoy!

I don’t actually have a modern au but I’ve been having so many thoughts about modern d’alia lately lmao

[red-raven-reading]

Martha put up with a lot of shit from the Doctor and has learnt to forgive him, move on, and heal so she gets to have her own life with gratitude because she knows that she wouldn't have gotten all the chances she's had without him.

Even so, when she sees 14 walking down the street chatting with Donna (who is obviously present!Donna) she fucking decks him for not telling him that it was OK to contact her bestie again.

[ace-and-ranty]

Watching a personal finances guy on YT, and he was saying sometimes renting is better, and sometimes buying is. I was like, yeah, makes sense. Then he talked about some of the arguments people use against renting, including "you're paying your landlord's mortgage".

He proceeds to disagree with this argument.

He says, "By that logic, aren't you also paying your barista's mortgage?"

Amazing.
