Overblot Trey X reader

The Heartslabyul kitchen was dim, lit only by the soft orange glow of the stove light and the flicker of candlelight Trey must’ve forgotten to snuff out. The scent in the air was sharp,burnt caramel, overworked sugar, and something darker. Bitter.

You found him there alone, sitting on a stool with flour-streaked hands and sleeves rolled up to his elbows, though he hadn’t touched the dough in front of him in a while. His glasses were askew, eyes unfocused. He looked exhausted. Hollow. Still wearing the remnants of something that wasn’t entirely him.

He didn’t acknowledge you at first, but you didn’t mind. You just walked in quietly, placing your hands gently on the counter beside him, close but not too close.

“…I lost control,” Trey said, voice hoarse. “I’ve always known how to keep a lid on it. The stress, the expectations… but this time, I just,snapped.”

You stayed silent, letting the words fall. He wasn’t looking for comfort yet. Just confession.

“I tried to be the one everyone could rely on. The steady one. Calm, reasonable, understanding Trey.” He laughed weakly. “But it just kept building up. Little things. Resentments. Pressure. I thought baking would help. It always helps. But that time, even the kitchen couldn’t fix it.”

Now, you reached for him. Slowly, carefully, your fingers brushed against his. His hand was cold, tense, but he didn’t pull away. Encouraged, you stepped in front of him, lifting your hand to gently tilt his chin up.

“I saw you,” you whispered. “Even through all of that. I still saw you, Trey.”

His throat bobbed, and something fragile cracked behind his eyes. “You shouldn’t have stayed.”

“I didn’t even think about leaving.”

You slid your arms around him, and for a moment, he froze like he didn’t know how to receive comfort he hadn’t earned. Then, slowly, he wrapped his arms around you in return. Firm, grounding, desperate. He buried his face in your shoulder, and you felt his breath tremble against your neck.

“I thought I’d scare you off,” he murmured. “I thought if anyone saw that side of me, they’d never come near me again.”

“You don’t have to be perfect for me to love you,” you said gently. “You just have to let me in.”

He pulled you even closer then, one hand sliding up to cradle the back of your head. “I’m trying. I want to.”

You stayed like that for a long while. No rush, no pressure. Just warmth. Steady, like the beat of his heart finally slowing down against your chest.

Eventually, he exhaled a quiet laugh. “I think the dough’s ruined.”

You smiled. “Good excuse to make something new. Together this time.”

Trey pulled back just enough to look at you,truly look at you and there was something different in his eyes now. Soft. Anchored. Grateful.

“Alright,” he said, voice still raspy but warmer. “Let’s make something sweet. I want the memory of tonight to end with you smiling.”

So you rolled up your sleeves and joined him, brushing flour onto his nose just to hear him laugh again. He retaliated with a flick of sugar at your cheek. And as the new batch of batter came together,eggs cracked, sugar measured, laughter slipping through the cracks,you knew he’d be okay.

Because he wasn’t healing alone anymore. He had you. And maybe, just maybe, that was enough.

English is not my first language !

Ok here is the idea: overworked, paycheck to paycheck living, reader who plays cookie run kingdom whenever they get the chance to relax. They are always tired and drained and stuff....then, one day, they are sent to the Cookie run world...as a Cookie. (The method how they get turned into a cookie...whether that be just stress finally taking its toll, cookies having used magic to put their baker into the game as a Cookie, or etc is up to you.) Y/n feels extremely happy they are in this cookie paradise and promises themselves they will work hard for these adorable cookies to thank them for taking them into their kingdom...thinking it would be like their life before except better because they are now living in a world with their favorite characters.

But...the cookies have other plans. They start to make it so that y/n doesn't even have to lift a finger. They make sure y/n feels safe and loved and relaxed. To finally put an end to all that stress. Original idea was that...maybe they knew about y/n's human life and wanted to take y/n in after they showed them so much kindness and devotion. But suddenly got other ideas while typing this in of other possibilities, like maybe all that stress in the real world had an effect on y/n's dough, making them very fragile due to overworking themselves constantly so that, combined with the kindness they show the cookies and how they are super happy to see the cookies (like ngl, I bet y/n might cry with joy when they realize they are in the world of their dreams with their favorite characters and so on...and be super happy to be there), the cookies decide to take y/n under their wing and into their care. Could also be both...or neither if you got a good idea too!

Hope you enjoy it! Had so many ideas for it buzzing around!

i really think about this over and over again for such long time, that why it take me a lot to anserw it, sadly i dont see something to come up to it

mostly due a lot of lost of context i dont see i could put, and a lot of out of characters behavor in there

i dont like that kind of writing that all cookies love Y/N becuse yes, is ok characters dont feel connected to someone or being rude to you, it make it more natural

sorry for not able to make you request and make so long to think about it, i hope you can find someone can make it, you ideas are wonderfull but im not the right entity to ejecute it

share baguette recipe with us please 🥺♥️

ok SO

i have 2 recipes let me share both, one easy one harder. the units are french ones cause they’re the ones i know, you can convert them easily online.

the first recipe is the hard « proper » one, the second one is the quicker, easier one :)

baguettes are actually pretty diverse, but the real baguette is called « baguette tradition » and it’s regulated. most recipes online are for baguettes in general, so if you want one that tastes like what you’d buy in a parisian bakery there are Rules lol. the recipe i use when im at home and have access to a proper oven is this one

stuff you need:

- a stand mixer (w a dough hook)

- baguette tray

ingredients:

- 500g tradition flour (or wheat t65)

- 370g water (60 degrees celsius)

- 100g natural leaven (liquid)

- 3g fresh yeast

- 10g salt

instructions:

1. mix a bit of your water (320g) w the flour in a stand mixer with the dough hook for 3 min on low speed. make sure there is no flour left or keep going until it’s p much absorbed

2. let it rest for 1 hour

3. add the leaven, yeast, and salt, and knead with the stand mixer for 7 minutes on low speed

4. slowly(!!) add the remaining water in a thin stream

5. knead on speed 2 for 1 min or until the dough pulls away from the sides

6. put the dough to a plastic container or a baking dishh

7. cover the container/dish with a cloth and let it rest for 1 hour at room temperature

8. fold the dough over itself from all four sides, working around the dough

9. cover w some plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for like 12 to 15h

10. the next day turn the dish onto a floured surface

11. cut the dough into 3 equal parts & shape them into rectangles

12. fold the top side of the dough over two-thirds of its length

13. fold the other side over the same length

14. roll it once and let it rest for 1 hour on a floured cloth.

15. after the rest fold the dough again in the same way, two-thirds each time

16. fold the dough in half along its entire length one last time, then roll it into a baguette shape with your hands. be careful though cause the dough will elongate so make sure not to form baguettes longer than your oven lmao

17. let the baguettes rest on the floured cloth for 1 hour, placing the seam side up. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 250°c w a baguette tray and a drip tray

18. just before baking, turn the baguettes one by one onto a pizza peel and slide them onto the baguette tray

19. make slashes on the top using some kind of blade idk i use a big ass meat knife

20. put the baguettes in the oven and pour a glass of water into the drip tray. close the oven immediately to trap the steam

21. bake for 30 minutes.

22. let the baguettes cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes to 1h before eating. i dont don’t do that most of the time though lmao i just wait until it’s cooled down enough to eat cause warm baguette >>>>

the simpler version (« baguette magique » aka « magic wand » lol) that you can actually do if you’re not hellbent on making Real French Baguette lmao

ingredients:

- 375g of flour (T45)

- 300ml lukewarm water

- 12g fresh bakers yeast

- 1 teaspoon fine salt

instructions :

1. dissolve the yeast in a little lukewarm water in a bowl, let it rise for 5 minutes, then add the remaining water

2. put the flour on top followed by the salt

3. mix everything roughly with a spatula

4. let it sit for about 1h30 while covering it with a cloth, either at room temperature or in an oven at 40°c. the dough should just about double in volume but not necessarily FULLY so don’t worry

5. preheat the oven to 240°c (about 8 on a scale of 10)

6. place a container of water in the oven so the steam released during baking will help create a crispy crust (you can spray some more every now n then as it bakes to make it extra crispy)

7. pour out the dough ob a flour work surface

8. shape your baguettes without overworking the dough cus it’s gonna be sticky

9. bake for 30 minutes

10. done :)

[bakedspoonie]

whenever I watch a cooking show and the participants start asking “why is it doing that” or something goes spectacularly wrong I turn into a kid watching Dora the explorer. “YOU DONT PUT EGGS IN THAT” or “ STOP! YOURE OVERWORKING THE DOUGH!”. But unlike Dora they never fucking hear me and end up with some sad and weird shit on the judges plate.

[fighting-name-huang]

pizza pastries

I take back what i said about overworked dough, these actually taste so good i need to pack them as soon as they cool so i dont eat everything.

[stonerzelda]

You never considered yourself lucky, especially in a new town that looked beautiful when the sunset toned the streets. You were a broke college student, desperately trying to make ends meet with groceries, bills and books. It was stressful to find some work in a town full of people who minded their business, except a family of four.

You hardly saw them until Wanda came knocking on your door, offering you meals that she made for her family. Wanda knew from the many nights she saw you from your window that you never ate a full course meal.

Her flower wasn’t nurturing the right way, and she hated it. Wanda didn’t like seeing her flower work too hard. But she did love the choice of outfits you wore.

An oversized shirt that always curves over your bum, giving Wanda a perfect view of your laced panties. She loved watching you, admiring you from afar. You were oblivious to her gestures, just like she wanted you to be.

When she saw you one night taking small bites of her lasagna, she swore that she heard a moan escape from your lips. It captivated her to continue to bring you food so she can listen to those pretty little moans of yours.

Over time, her motherly instincts switch on. She monitored your eating pattern, especially when you were in the middle of your finals. She watched you take scoops of cookie dough ice cream into your mouth and chugging energy drinks into your system.

You were hurting her flower, and she didn’t like it one bit. Wanda then decided she would take matters into her hand. When Wanda asked you out of the blue to come over to fix her printer, a ready-made meal was waiting for you.

It was a small fish dish with tons of vegetables. You weren't a fan of vegetables; half of them weren't your favourite either. You tried to pass the offer but, Wanda was very persuaded. She insisted you stay and eat with her, as a token of thanks for fixing her printer.

You didn’t want to be rude so, you sat with her, watching her cut up her potion. Wanda noticed that you hardly touched your greens, which made her angry. She didn’t show it, as she didn’t want to scare off her flower.

Wanda simply got up from her seat and accidentally brushed your shoulder, apologising straight after. She bent her body towards you, allowing you full access to her chest. You gulped in pleasure at how beautifully shaped her tits were.

“If you eat your greens, you can touch,” Wanda whispered, biting your earlobe. She watched as you gripped your thigh, smirking at how easy it was to persuade you to do something.

You sat there and, Wanda made sure you ate every vegetable on your plate. Each time you ate a vegetable, she kissed your neck, praising you for obeying.

“You can do it. We don’t want to see what happens when you don’t listen, sweetheart.” She mumbled against your skin, making you squirm in your seat.

Wanda slowly started to suck on your neck, feeding into you like you were her dinner. She heard a little whimper come from your lips and licked the mark she created.

“One more, sweetheart.” She praised, brushing her thumb against your cheek. She tangled her hands through your hair, pulling it slightly as she saw you fiddle with the last vegetable.

You quickly ate the last vegetable, looking up at Wanda for praise. She sent a sweet kiss to your lips, humming words that made you feel warm inside.

You instantly felt your body respond to her touches. She was seated next to you, and you felt lost. You didn’t know what came over yourself when Wanda pulled you onto her lap. You instantly snuggled into her, letting your face buried between her chest, as she brushed her fingers up and down your back.

You lightly kissed her breasts, smiling at how big and comfy they were. Wanda smirked and bounced them up, causing you to moan.

“Since you ate all your greens and study real hard today, you get to have some dessert. How does that sound?” Wanda whispered into your ear, seeing you nod almost immediately.

“You are so responsive to my orders, aren’t you?”

You nodded, feeling a blush appear.

“Such a good little flower.” She cooed, pulling you off her and pushing you down onto the floor. She opened her legs and watched your eyes widen at her movement. You saw that she wasn’t wearing anything underneath.

“Be a good little girl and take your dessert. I’m going to make sure you taste every last drop, understood?”

“Yes, Wanda..”

Wanda tutted, “Mommy. You call me Mommy.”

“Yes, Mommy.” You whispered and slowly brought your face to her entrance. You placed your hands around her thigh, and in a straight line, you licked her core. Wanda had no time for you to tease her. She was horny enough from just seeing you obey her. She grabbed a handful of hair and forced your mouth to suck on her cunt. You moaned at the force, trying to suck on every inch of her folds.

Wanda knew you were new to this, as your technique were wonky. She arched her hips towards you, thrusting her cunt into your face making you have no access to breathe. You allowed your tongue to explore her, trying to graze every spot to please her.

Wanda moans found your ears and, you moaned against her core, sucking on it harshly like it was the last edible thing on earth. Again Wanda thrust into you, making you accidentally bite her core. Wanda moaned louder, and you continued to latch onto her bud. You knew she was getting close as her folds clenched around your tongue. She managed to pull on your hair once more and gave you no warning that she was close to an orgasm.

Wanda, in no time, thrust once more before flooding your mouth with her cum. You tried your hardest to suck on every sweetness she gave you. Your lips were attached to her core for a little longer before she moved you away, brushing her finger against your swollen lip.

“You gorgeous thing. Those plumped lips are so useful to me. You were so good, sweetheart. You made Mommy feel so good.” She whispered, pulling you up by your shirt.

“You did so well, darling.” She hummed, allowing you to rest your head in her chest. Wanda watched as you gave her light kisses to her chest, grinning at how easily it was for you to be a submissive.

Wanda slowly moved your face away for her, causing a little whimper to escape your lips. Wanda only grinned at her flower, loving how needy you were for her.

“Go get some rest, darling. Those essays won’t write themselves.”

You nodded and slowly got off her lap, “Yes, Mommy.”

Wanda bit her lip at your tone and watched you stumble your way out of her home. She took the glass of water from the table, taking small sips as she amusingly watched you tumble and walk into things.

“Goodbye, little one.”

—

That night you were sorely in the zone to complete one of your essays. A temptation inside you sprung to light after you left Wanda’s that afternoon. You could still taste her in your mouth, and you craved more.

You felt lost without her near. You never depend on someone like you did with Wanda. She was turning you into something that you read in novels, and you liked it.

A little too much.

It was quarter to midnight and, you just finished a second essay. You were tired from studying and decided to take a little nap before returning to your books. However, that nap didn't exactly happen when you found yourself cradled against Wanda's chest.

You awoke and found your face buried deep in Wanda’s boobs. Unaware of how that happened, Wanda pushed your face back into her chest. She knew that you needed her touch, and just like the submissive you were, you took full advantage of it.

“You overworked yourself, sweetheart.”

You hummed, looking straight up at her. You eagerly tried to kiss her lips but, Wanda pulled back and smacked your thigh. You jumped in confusion, putting your head down as you didn’t like it when Wanda was mean.

"You naughty girl. Are you that desperate for Mommy’s lips? You want Mommy to taste whatever you are feeling in your panties.”

You let out a loud moan as Wanda harshly pressed her finger against your soaking core.

“My sweetheart. You are soaking. Did Mommy make you wet, darling?”

You sheepishly nodded and tugged on her bra as Wanda slapped your throbbing core.

“M-Mommy,” You moaned against her breasts, finding a way for you to tug on her nipple. Wanda hummed and saw how close you were getting to her nipple and slapped your core again, but with more force.

“Not yet. You must let Mommy taste you first. Is that what you want?”

You nodded quickly.

“Desperate little thing. You are such a slut, darling. Look at you, trying to hump Mommy’s fingers. How badly do you want Mommy’s fingers?”

“So badly. Please. Please.” The sounds of your begging made Wanda pinch your core. You let out a moan and squirm at the pain.

Wanda slowly pulled your panties down, watching some of your juice trails down your thigh. Wanda’s fingers managed to clean the excess. Without any warning, she stuffed her fingers straight into your mouth.

“Suck.” She demanded and, you obeyed, moaning at the taste of your sweetness.

“You ready for Mommy’s fingers? How many does my flower get?”

“As much as Mommy likes.” You moaned, and Wanda let out a chuckle at how much of a good submissive you were.

Wanda took one last look at you before taking her fingers out of your mouth and slammed them straight into your hole, hearing you cry in pain.

“Taking them so well, darling. Do you know how many fingers are inside you?” Wanda asked, her eyes darken.

You shook your head, pleading with her to go faster.

“Let’s count, Sweetheart.” Wanda whispered, and used one finger to hit one of your spots.

“How many was that, gorgeous?”

“O-One..”

Wanda grinned and did the same again but with three fingers this time causing you to moan louder.

“F-Four?” You manage to say and Wanda shook her head.

“Would you like Four fingers inside you?” Wanda whispered into your ear, fucking your core hard.

You barely gave her a response. Wanda took that as a yes and added another finger inside you. You felt your hole stretch like never before as Wanda slammed her fingers inside you. The tears spilling in your eyes made you grip Wanda's hand.

Wanda smirked and removed your hand from hers. She laughed as she gripped your jaw, so she could see you fall apart.

"My sweet angel. You look so beautiful." Wanda whispered and gripped your jaw harder. You let your tears fall from your cheek as she thrust her fingers in and out of you. You felt your orgasm near as your folds tugged on her fingers.

Your eyes began to see stars as Wanda used some of her magic to add more harsh momentum. You had no idea of Wanda's being a witch and, Wanda loved your obliviousness.

You started to ride her fingers, feeling your high coming through. Wanda kissed your tears away, planting a small kiss on your nose before slapping your thigh to indicate that you could cum.

"Go on, darling."

You cried out in pleasure as you let yourself loose on her fingers, sobbing as Wanda helped you ride your high. Your walls still clenched around her fingers, as you didn't want her to pull out.

Wanda smirked, loving how you took her so well.

“You are so well behaved, Sweetheart... taking my four fingers very well. You are a good little slut, aren't you? So glad I found you."

You opened your mouth, and Wanda laughed at your loss for words.

"How about we run you a bath? Does my little flower need a bath?”

You nodded and hissed at the pain as Wanda took her fingers out of you. She kissed your lips and then your neck, praising you whilst she gently made her way down to your swollen core. She gently kissed your swollen bud and gave you a sweet lick before picking you up.

Out of embarrassment of crying, you buried your face in her neck and watched her carry you towards the bathroom. You still let some tears fall as you felt the pain. She gently placed you on the counter, brushing your hair out of your face as she pinches your thigh teasingly.

“My sweet darling. Look at you. You were so good with Mommy today. You are the most gorgeous thing when you are crying. Those little sobs were for me, and Mommy loved watching you fall apart.”

You felt your cheeks burn with shame as Wanda degraded you. You wiped your tears on your jumper as you heard the tap run. Wanda cooed you, peppering your face with kisses.

“Let’s get you cleaned up.” She chuckled and helped you into the tub. You hissed at the pain when the warm water hit your core. Wanda slowly pushed you down, leaning over to wash you.

“No more crying, sweetheart,” Wanda whispered and gently began to bath you. You nodded and stayed put and allowed Wanda to care for you.

“Thanks, Mommy.”

Wanda smiled and placed a small kiss to your cheek. “Anytime, darling.”

What pie crust recipe do you use mine NEVER work out :(

my favourite one ever (as long as u dont overwork the dough!!) i only trust american recipes when it comes to pie lmao and always par bake even if they say it's not necessary

[nezh4a]

overworked my dough so so much and fucked up folding it as well (am laminating it) so idk wtf is going to happen to my egg tarts. they're my friends bday gift if they dont work out ill probably have a breakdown purr

[honeytearays]

whats your bread recipe? 🥺

It's quite simple actually! I've been experimenting with recipes lately but this one has worked the best for me so far~

☆ 4 cups all purpose flour or bread flour

☆ 2 cups room temperature water

☆ 3/4 tsps dry active yeast

☆ 2 tsp salt

All you have to do is mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl and slowly mix the water into it (you can add other ingredients like herbs or nuts at this stage as well!). The dough should be pretty wet and sticky.

After that you cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and place a kitchen towel on it to proof overnight for around 18 hours.

Once the surface is all bubbly, you preheat the oven to 450°F and warm a Dutch oven inside for at least 15 mins before you place the dough in. This helps with getting the crust to form right! (You can easily convert this all to grams and Celsius btw 😉)

You can gently scrape the dough out onto a floured surface and fold the sides over into the middle. Flip over and gently rotate it to form a ball. Make sure not to overwork it~

Place on a piece of parchment paper that fits your Dutch oven and score the top however you choose (my knives suck and I have no technique so dont follow my lead lol).

Take the pot out and gently drop the ball of dough inside. Place the lid back on and bake for 25 minutes. After that take the lid off and bake it without the lid for another 20-25 minutes depending on how crispy you want your crust.

Cool completely and enjoy! 🌻

Hopefully this explained it well enough but I ended up combining different recipes and measurements until something worked for me but know that this isn't perfect by any means 😅💛 Happy baking!

[lunawritesaa]

OHOHO I got an idea for a request bonk bonk baking with funky unky ray or making an altar for yule with him ^^ either works! dont feel like u have to do any! u better take care of yourself too grrr dont overwork urself -ray anon

ooooooo OF COURSE! anything for you my friend!! went with baking bc who doesn’t wanna bake with raymond??

——

Baking around the holidays with Raymond is so. much. fun. Because it’s Raymond we’re taking about, and Raymond LOVES baking!! Especially around this time of year because holiday cookies are just so good and he absolutely loves them!!

He’s amazing in the kitchen! He knows a million recipes and each one of them will be absolutely delicious. He tends to bake in large batches and send some to his friends and family. (Miles always gets a huge basket of cookies at his door every year).

Loves having you in the kitchen with him. He teaches you all of his amazing recipes, oftentimes just hugging you from behind while he instructs you on what to do. He presses small kisses on the side of your head every time you finish making the dough.

Nine times out of ten he will throw flour at you and a mess always ensues from there. There’s ingredients everywhere, your clothes are dirty and your stomach is hurting from laughing!

Good evening my lovely, How was your day today?

I was pretty busy today. I decided to actually start baking the cookies that I was supposed to have done before the 26th. So far I have the dough finished, and all i have left is to make the frosting and to decorate. Then those cookies will be all ready for you my sweets <3.

Speaking of presents, what do you plan on doing for your upcoming birthday? Its starting to get very close isn't it (only 9 days away :0)?

Everyone on the team is dying to know if you have plans, because they all want to wish you a 'happy birthday' (I say 'they' because i'll have plenty of time before to wish you my moon).

By the way, that special day isn't the only day getting close right? There's still a certain wedding day 3 weeks away (which I feel greatly excited about), and Wakatoshi-Kun and Semi-semi have already started fighting over who gets to be my best man. Do you have any ideas on the guest list so far my dear (only the ones you have so far, do not take this as a green light to start overworking yourself for it as you still have some time)?

Love you my paradise~

- Satori

TORI BABE!! i just got this sudden urge to jump and hug you ugh. it’s been a good but very tiring day. OH!!! I DID A WATERCOLOUR DRAWING OF YOU THAT IM REALLY PROUD OF WAIT-

[felidfavs]

*vibrates in irritated* spend all day at work, dealing with clients who dont understand that clay, is like, mud, and dough, and MOVES, and when u ship it, it doesnt stay perfect, that when clay freezes, its physical composition is DESTROYED, then as soon as u touch it u alter it

+ that when ur doing a very very picky process with such picky mediums that have such a high fail rate u GOTTA standardize the processing, and its going to have to be altered to make those processes possible-

not to mention when u have a massive inventory to get thru in a timely manner, and u cant AFFORD failures because ur workin with originals that CANNOT be made-as-originals again and can only be replicated

that maybe, maybe, it wont look the 100% the same, with every line of fur, after its been flattened from the slop heap the vet gave us, smoothed and detailed, cleaned and cleaned again and coated in paints and scraped and glazed etc etc etc. it might be, slightly generalized, from the original. because it has to be. 

u know. as if we arent all pet owners and poor artists who unDERSTAND this is an expensive product, a one of a kind, likely the last thing your loved one has ever touched, that if we dont fix ever air pocket a careless vet or that freezing has caused it could explode and we might not be able to replicate it if its bad enough, as if we dont understand that each unique trait of your pet is important to you, and that balancing that with fixing the damage shipping or vets have caused is super fucking important

as if we dont get lectured every fucking other shift for the unavoidable human error of a production line in such a hands on super finicky process and how as much as its unavoidable we CANT fuck up

and THEN, after spending all day at this very intense, emotionally taxing, highly attentive to detail, job, in a pandemic, where im a key staff member, with family in healthcare. 

i come home and im trying to support an artist who i care about and tell them to raise their pricing, im typing staggered because im fucking tired, and some asshole butts in about affordability and i, like a dumbass ofc, say something about how its a luxury good and when u cant afford luxuries ofc u arent gunna get expensive art and they fucking OF COURSE, take it in the “poor people dont deserve fun” way, and i just. fuck you man. fuck you for taking it there. like yea, i shouldnt have worded it that way or hit enter in the chat so soon without really typing away but fuck man. like, just. im so fucking annoyed. 

obviously i dont believe that. i dont fucking MAKE ART in the FIELD I PUT MYSELF MASSIVELY IN DEBT FOR, because i cant fucking JUSTIFY SPENDING MONEY ON IT, because ceramics CANT FUCKING AFFORD ITSELF. because people refuse to pay enough, and IG GET IT, BECAUSE I ALSO CANT PAY THAT MUCH, SO I DONT FUCKING MAKE IT. 

i literally gave the artist i was talking to like fucking. 25$ the other day. cause i was worried about them giving away art so much and just, doing too much. and then anouther 25 to another of them in that chat because they are young and stupid and overworking themselves and i care. i am many grand in debt, and giving away money, and u want to come at me for fucking ACCESSIBILITY OF ART AND AFFORDABILITY AND SHIT? i fucking give away my art all the time to people because I KNOW ITS EXPENSIVE. 

but no, asking for commissions, which are a DEAL between a person and an artist granting them their skills to create SPECIFICALLY FOR THEM to be priced fairly is just TOO MUCH

on top of u know. asking for people to maybe, maybe respect artists a tiny bit and not repost their work. 

on top of, u kno, every fucking artist i know right now PANICKING and having to like, hold suicide support groups essentially because all our incomes are FUCKED because we cant go to cons and shit right now, and because were self employed we have NO safety net

but ya know. 25 bucks for a full shaded full body is reasonable!! poor people deserve specialized individualized one on ones with artists!!!!!!!!! they are entiteld to affordable art!!!!

its not like artists arent breaking their fucking bodies and minds trying to put out enough art to stay on top of algorithms just to get ANY notice so ANYONE will pay them enough for them to have a fucking sandwich maybe

its not like we are running our own social media, finances, assets, shipping, etc etc, and not being paid for it. 

dealing with people stealing our art and reposting it, or sharing it and saying “not mine!! :)” as if that fucking helps with the fact we need to get surgery on our wrists and eyes and drugs for our chemical imbalances 

literally want to set fucking fire to the art industry and burn it to the ground and tell everyone who hasnt invested their life in the arts to just go suck it because they cant even BOTHER listening to us for 5 fuckign seconds

the god damn fucking disrespect i cant

Pastry/baking/non-yeast things - actually if you know what is the leavening agent you can probably mess around with the ingredients a little bit beyond the sugar.

Butter/water based leavening: keep the butter cold and make sure you don't stray too much from the basic ratios, but you can mess around with everything else.

Acid-base leavening: keep the baking soda:vinegar/lemon/lime juice 1:3 to 1:4. It's not like you have to count stoichiometry, but around that ratio is generally sufficient for leavening purposes. for fucks sake you cant replace baking soda with baking powder and vise versa. (baking powder has balanced ratios of acid to base. baking SODA is all base. make sure to balance your acid base when you do ingredient replacements). Also put your batter/dough in the oven as soon as you make your acid-base mixture as possible and dont overwork the batter/dough to preserve air bubbles. Aside from that, keep track of potentially acidic/basic ingredients but feel free to mess around!

Egg whites... don't overbeat them. Don't over mix your ingredients. Be conscientious of the humidity to let your batter/mixture dry sufficiently. If you're new to working with eggwhites, do your first try in the winter because it's less humid and will hold the air bubbles better. look up other particular tricks for the pastry in question, like macaron shells. have fun!

I haven't worked with yeast successfully yet, but will put up tips as I get them.

By the way, just in case this helps someone -

COOKING - creativity is okay

BAKING - stick to the recipe (you can usually adjust sugar content to taste, though)

BREAD - wait for the right weather conditions (or engineer them), be one assertive and self-confident motherfucker because dough can feel it if you aren’t, a blood sacrifice probably helps, trust the gods

I love Pizza hut quite frankly.

I also worked for Little caesars, Honestly it was a living hell and they really dont care for their employees, I was written up for taking my breaks (they justified it by saying it was because I "expected" to take my breaks after 5 hours of work)

and again for clocking out after my shift was over.

Generally speaking they saw me as just a machine that rolls dough for 5 hours every night.

They act like they care about their employees but EVERYONE there was horribly overworked, Not to mention the less than sub-par food is horribly overpriced for their quality.

Did yall know the breadsticks are just pizza dough?

and that the cinnamon bites are store-bought?

Freezer breadsticks, Cut and slathered in some funky sauce.

not to mention the hygiene of the place was a god damn disaster. There was mold like you wouldnt believe, gave me serious asphixiation.

Could just be that location i worked in, but i digress.

things to keep in mind when deciding where u wanna get pizza from 🐸☕️
