Leftover Sales

Hey y'all,

We know you're all VERY excited for the leftover sales and the reopening of the digital PDF option, but unfortunately due to hectic TFCon prepping, we will need to post-pone both until after the convention.

REST ASSURED, we will have them up before end of March and we will give y'all at least 48 hours notice for when the sales are live.

Even when we run out of the leftovers, we will keep the digital PDF open for another few days.

Thank you all for your patience!

GUYS!!! Y"ALL KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS!! once again tidbit tuesday has accidently turned into pretty much a full fic but y'know what? the more the merrier AUGH ENJOY!!

"Hullo?" Johnny pushes the screen door open without knockin', sticks his head in through the door.

"Well, hello back atcha." Soda's layin' flat on his stomach on the carpet, socked feet kickin' idly in the air 'n a card game nonsensical to everyone but him laid out in front of him. He flips over onto his back, sits up, frowns at the cards 'n moves two of 'em around.

"Darry or Pone home?" Johnny toes his converse off at the door, swiped for him compliments of Two, 'n lays 'em neatly next to the door, grabbin' a pair of Soda's he'd kicked off wildly 'n layin' 'em side by side.

"Wow, 'n what am I Johnnycakes? Chopped liver?" Soda cracks a grin, beams a pillow that'd been layin' nearby on the floor at his head.

"Aw, man. I didn't mean it like that." He deftly ducks, grabs it from where it lands in the kitchen 'n punts it back. Darry always swore one day they were gonna go to chuck a pillow 'n it was gonna explode 'n they better not even think to ask Darry to help them clean it up.

Soda catches it, goes to throw it back, finds a hole in the edge 'n thinks better of it. He shoots Johnny a wink 'n plops it down right in front where the next person'll be sure to grab it, poppin' to his feet, card game forgotten. "Ya need somethin', Johnny?"

"Not really. Don't worry 'bout it, Soda." His stomach growls 'n he ducks his head, decidedly avoidin' Soda's prodin' stare.

"Well, while you're here you might as well stay 'n keep me company. Dar's got me on house arrest." Soda musses up Johnny's hair as he crosses into the kitchen, pops the icebox open 'n peers inside.

Johnny rocks back 'n forth on the balls of his feet, worries at his lip 'n watches Soda. He can sense him pullin' his old tricks, makin' one of 'em do somethin' on the preface of helpin' him when he knew it was the other way 'round. "I don't wanna bug ya-"

"You can make it up to me by eatin' these leftover sweet potatoes 'n tellin' Dar I finished them." He fishes them outta the fridge 'n tosses the container to Johnny.

"Since when didya stop likin' sweet potatoes?" Johnny cocks an eyebrow but follows him in the kitchen, movin' from cabinet to cabinet to pull out glasses 'n plates 'n forks.

"Since forever. Johnny, your memory's goin' in your old age." Soda presses the container of casserole he's pullin' out to his chest solemnly.

"Aw, hush. You're older'n me Soda." Soda pauses thoughtfully, taps a finger to his chin.

"Huh. Didn't thinka that."

"Maybe you oughta be worried about your memory, man." Johnny plunks down a plate 'n Soda howls, reachin' over to snap him up by the shoulder 'n fold him into his side.

"Damn, you're too quick for your own good." Soda hollers 'n jabs Johnny in the side 'n Johnny tries real hard to hide the wince. He really really does. But here's the thing with Soda. There ain't much he misses.

The smile drops straight off his face. Eyes darkenin'. 'N Soda's got that kinda eyes that can do that. Be all laughin' 'n grinnin' one moment 'n then pickin' you right apart the next. "Y'good, Johnny?"

"Yeah, man. I'm all good. Don't worry about it." He twists away from Soda, or at least he tries to, but now Soda's holdin' right onto him, hand wrapped good 'n tight around his bicep.

"Then you don't mind provin' it? Do ya?" 'N it's not a question. Not really.

'N here's the thing. Johnny don't really like to talk about it. Don't like to pretend he's anythin' but fine. 'Cause people ain't ever normal about it. Even when they think they are. There's always a look. An odd word. It can make a person real sick. Always feelin' like people pity you.

But this ain't just anyone. It's Soda. 'N Johnny knows he just cares. His fingers find the edge of his shirt, lift it up just along his ribs where they're painted dark with bruises like fingers stained with blackberry juice in the fall.

Soda doesn't say anythin'. Doesn't hiss in realization or understandin'. Just presses the back of his hand to the spot 'n frowns lightly when he feels heat there. He pulls away 'n Johnny drops his shirt back down.

"Anythin' new?" He lets Johnny go, turns around to break off some of the built-up ice from the fridge.

"Naw. Same old, same old." Soda nods, keeps his back to Johnny 'n he can tell his turnin' somethin' around in his mind.

"Would ya tell me if there was? Somethin' different?" He reaches over to snatch one of the kitchen towels, wraps the ice up in it, hands the whole bundle out.

'N for a moment Johnny doesn't move at all. 'Cause Soda don't look... anythin'. Just... Soda. 'N that doesn't make much sense. But it's the best he can put it.

'Cause when Darry 'n Dallas found new bruises 'n cuts 'n whatever the hell else his da could do to him there was always anger there. Not to him. God, never at him. But it was like they couldn't help themselves. Couldn't help the righteous rage that built right up in them.

'N Pony always looked at him. But Pony couldn't get it. God, Mr. 'n Mrs. C had been real good to their kids. 'N so had Dar. After, well, everythin'. He had always been a lil' horrified by violence 'n hate. 'N Johnny sorely hoped he always would be.

It made Two uncomfortable. Steve restless. He'd seen it all. 'N he knew they all just cared. He knew. But it never made it any easier.

But Soda ain't doin' none of that. He's just lookin' down at Johnny patiently, wide, dark eyes he got from their daddy blinkin' down at him, olive branch in the form of a meltin' towel of ice in his hands. Like he don't see him any different.

"Johnnycakes?" He tilts his head to the side, offers him the towel 'n this time he takes it.

"Yeah?" 'N He promises them all things all the time. I won't go home tonight. I ain't gonna get myself hurt. I'd tell ya if I did.

"You'd tell someone if it was different. Right?" But this one feels... manageable. A start.

"Sure, Soda. Yeah. I will." He takes the ice, presses it against his ribs 'n Soda watches him a moment more, ruffles his hair. Drops the casserole on the table 'n deals out a healthy portion to Johnny with a conspiratorial grin.

"Good. Now help me finish these potatoes before Dar gets home 'n makes me sit here all night until they're gone." 'N that's that.

Bruno (Steampunk AU)

Parece que esto me está gustando más de lo que esperaba, ya estoy trabajando en Julieta con un toque "doctor de la plaga", tengo algún garabato de Antonio y varias ideas para Luisa, Isabela y Pepa.

Pensaba solo hacer dibujos y ya pensar en algo de headcanon más adelante, pero yo iba dibujando por un lado y mi mente sola por el otro inventándose historias. Así que os dejaré algo de HC de Bruno por aquí y cuando pueda publicaré lo que tengo en mente de Mirabel.

Imagino a Bruno un poco chatarrero, recogiendo los sobrantes, basura y lo que los demás no quieren para reparar sus cosas, su ropa y fabricar los útiles que necesite.

Como reserva los mejores trozos de chatarra para reparar a sus ratas cuando haga falta, su ropa la repara con los sobrantes menos útiles como maya de alambre, cadenas rotas o incluso trozos de sus propias profecías.

De niño no era muy bueno haciendo amigos, así que decidió crear su propio amiguito e hizo una pequeña rata mecánica, con el tiempo hizo más y ahora estas le hacen compañía y participan en sus telenovelas de ratas.

Como los espacios entre las paredes de Casita están llenos de engranajes y mecanismos en movimiento es mucho más difícil hacer parkour por ellos y una vez Bruno pisó mal y se destrozó un tobillo, pudo hacerse un apaño sujetándolo con dos varas de metal, pero estuvo varias semanas que no podía caminar y aún camina cojeando un poco.

Los fragmentos de profecías que lleva colgadas al cinto, son de profecías buenas o trozos en los que se ve algo que quiere tener cerca (tiene uno con flores de la profecía de Isabela, otro en el que se ve a Mirabel y Camilo de niños, otros son los rostros de sus hermanas, uno de sus ratas,...)

El cristal de las gafas es del mismo material que las profecías y se las pone cuando va a tener una visión, sin ellas solo vería mucha arena girando a su alrededor y algunas escenas confusas (poco más o menos como en la película) pero con las gafas ve mucho más claro y con más detalle, por lo que se confunde menos al interpretar las profecías.

English translation:

It seems that I'm liking this more than I expected, I'm already working on Julieta with a "plague doctor" touch, I have some doodles of Antonio and several ideas for Luisa, Isabela and Pepa.

I was only thinking of drawing and writing some headcanon later, but I was drawing on one side and my mind alone on the other, inventing stories. So I'll leave you some of Bruno's HC here and when I can I'll post what I have in mind from Mirabel.

I imagine Bruno as a bit of a scrapper, collecting leftovers, garbage and what others don't want to repair his things, his clothes and make the tools he needs.

As he saves the best bits of junk to repair his rats when needed, so he repairs his clothes with the less useful leftovers like wire mesh, broken chains, or even bits of his own prophecies.

As the spaces between the walls of Casita are full of gears and moving mechanisms it is much more difficult to parkour through them and once Bruno stepped wrong and broke his ankle, he was able to get by holding it with two metal rods, but he was several he couldn't walk for weeks and still walks with a slight limp.

As a child he was not very good at making friends, so he decided to create his own little friend and made a little clockwork rat, over time he made more and now they keep him company and participate in his telenovelas.

The fragments of prophecies that he wears on his belt are good prophecies or pieces in which he sees something he wants to be close to (he has one with flowers from Isabela's prophecy, another in which Mirabel and Camilo are seen as children, others are the faces of his sisters, one of his rats,...)

The glass of the goggles is made of the same material as the prophecies and he puts them on when he is going to have a vision, without them he would only see a lot of sand spinning around him and some confusing scenes (a little more or less like in the movie) but with the glasses sees much more clearly and in more detail, so he is less confused when interpreting the prophecies.

June 29

It was a rainy and gloomy day in Henford-on-Bagley, I found it matched my mood most of the day. I decided to let the staff at the clinic handle business today. I took the day off.

“I can post-pone my interview at the cemetery.” Caleb offered. He was worried about me, I could tell. 

I didn’t sleep well last night and I was still processing the news of Desmond’s death, along with the sadness I still carry over my baby that the news had stirred up.

I did my best to put on a somewhat happy face. “Caleb, it’s okay. You can go. It’s not like I’ll be by myself. I have Josie and Lucky to keep my company. Plus Belle and the chickens.” I assured him.

He had told me recently how he wants a part-time job, one he can do while I’m asleep. I think Caleb gets bored, to be honest. Working at the mausoleum for a few hours a night is a perfect fit for him.

Once Caleb finally agreed to go to his interview, I headed to the kitchen.

“I know that’s your favorite window to look out, but Mommy’s needs this counter space right now, Josie.” I said to her softly, she gave me a look of annoyance and jumped down. I decided to make eggs for breakfast. A perk of having farm fresh eggs.

I ate most of my breakfast, before putting the leftovers in the fridge for later. I felt tired. Not just body tired, but emotionally and mentally. The kind of tired that seems to drag your entire body down to the ground and it’s an effort to even walk to your bed.

I laid down for a nap. I actually managed to sleep. I woke up hours later, groggy.

I woke up a bit more as I made it to the living room and picked up Josie. “Do you forgive Mommy for earlier?” I asked her.

She meowed at me, more than once. “Are you going to watch a movie with Mommy? I think Ghostbusters is on.”

She wanted down. I guess she isn’t a fan. Josie took off to snooze in one of the chairs by the fireplace. I checked on Lucky real quick, taking her out to potty.

I was halfway through the movie when I felt a presence and saw black fog out of the corner of my eye. Maybe someday I’ll get used to Caleb doing that, but at that moment it freaked me out a little.

Caleb sat down quietly on the sofa, while Lucky barked at him – excited that her Dad was home.

“Vera….” He said slowly “Why are you wearing glasses?”

“I wanted to feel smarter.” I replied before taking them off. They were costume glasses that somehow made their way onto my coffee table.

Caleb just kept staring at me, not sure what to say. Usually I enjoy Caleb staring at me, but in that moment it was a bit unnerving.

“How’d the interview go?” I asked, trying to change his focus to something else.

“I got the job. I start tomorrow night.” He said, slowly glancing at the tv before looking back at me.

“I’m happy for you.” I told him truthfully. I shut off the TV and got up. I gave him a goodnight kiss and headed to brush my teeth. 

Even though I had only been up a few hours, I felt it was time to go back to bed. I plan to go into the clinic tomorrow.

When I came out of the bathroom and started to head for the bedroom, I caught a glimpse of Caleb talking to a very familiar looking vampire through the open front door. I had seen a pretty large portrait of him at the party Annalise had thrown months ago. “The Count” as everyone referred to him as in Midnight Hollow. I stay out of vampire things if I can help it. I quietly came into the bedroom and took some melatonin before opening my journal.

Of course I wonder if Caleb is safe, but he wasn’t survived this long without knowing how to take care of himself. I figure it’s safer for me and less stressful for him if I do my best to stay out of things when it comes to his kind.

May photo challenge, day 5: friendship

Sariah’s favorite thing to do with her friend Eugenia is have a sleepover! Tonight they’ve put out their sleeping bags in the living room of Eugenia’s house. They’ve got music, a movie, snacks, and no bedtime!

I got inspiration for this scene from Courtney Moore’s sleepover accessories and nightgown.

Sariah is my 1984 historical character, and so I’ve been looking at Courtney’s collection for ideas about what to make for my 80′s girl. 

Sariah wears her My Little Pony nightgown, fuzzy socks, and matching scrunchie at sleepovers with Eugenia. My Little Pony was an iconic toy brand that debuted in 1981 and was massively popular all through the 80′s and into the 90′s. A cartoon based on the pones came along in 1986.

I made her nightgown from some leftover scraps of soft and fuzzy fabric, and then used printer transfer paper to iron on the design on the front. 

She brought a movie to watch tonight--The Neverending Story. This movie came out in 1984 and is still a classic favorite. I used an image search to find a picture of the VHS cover, and glued it to a sleeve I made from thin cardboard. The video cassette is a picture that I glued to a piece of foam board.

The TV is made from a printed picture glued to a box made from foam board. The antennae are painted wire. Under the TV is a Betamax player, which was similar to a VHS player but came along a little earlier. Both Betamax and VHS were around in 1984, but I gave Sariah a Betamax purely for my own nostalgia purposes (even though she brought a VHS tape to the sleepover). My family had a Betamax through most of my early childhood and we didn’t get a VCR until the 90′s. 

The image on the screen is a still from the movie. I overlayed the image of the TV onto that. 

When the movie is over, the girls still aren’t tired enough to go to sleep, so they keep the party going with a boombox and music! They like to write their own lyrics to songs they like, which they record in their journal. 

The boombox and journal are both from the Express Yourself With Gabriela book and activity kit. The cassette tapes are pictures glued to foam board. 

Eugenia teaches Sariah to make a cootie catcher, which is a folded toy that shows different images depending on how you hold it. 

The one they’re playing with shows the steps of the scientific method. There are tons of free cootie catcher printables on Pinterest; this one was my favorite. I made it small enough to fit doll hands. 

They’ve got snacks and soda, too! The soda cans are rolled up pieces of rigid aluminum that I cut from a pie tin. The labels came from the Doll Travel book and activity kit. The chips are yellow construction paper that I flecked with brown paint and then tore into tiny pieces.

DANCE PARTY!

A leftover from #SunnyMay that I forgot to share outside twitter. Also #MerMay.

Felt a regular seapony wasn’t enough for Sunbeam, so went shrimp pone instead because I can.

Enjoy!

For the “Some OC questions” ask meme:

1. Your first OC ever?

Dzamie was my first, made in kindergarten or maybe 1st grade, but HM was the first to have his name (Dzamie was just “that cheetah”).

3. Have you ever adopted a character or gotten a character from someone else?

I have stolen a character! Mistress Dreamwalker has had her name slightly changed, but her acid tears and spit, as well as her trusty Blue Carrot Launcher, not to mention the trauma she’s given the Spyro crew, are all leftovers from the fanfic writer I pulled her from. That person seems to have disappeared off the Internet about 5 years ago, though...

4. A character you rarely talk about?

Tesla Coil is a MLP lamia I made to have a pone OC who isn’t a changeling. Her bite paralyzes with an electric shock, and she enjoys eating trespassers at her job on a site that doesn’t officially exist. Despite being a constrictor, her tail ends in a rattle-like structure that starts glowing while she’s holding a charge.

20. Do any of your OCs sing? If they sing, care to share more details (headcanon voice, what kind of songs they like etc)?

Dream has a pleasant singing voice and the uncanny ability to sing lyrical YTPMVs with perfect inflection. She sounds rather like Jesse of Team Rocket, which is one of the reasons that duo is a favorite when she and Dzamie go cosplaying together. So, uh, have fun picturing Erectin‘ A River sung by Jesse. And as for the other OC who sings...

So, Dzamie is a perfect vocal mimic for male voices, can speak much faster than most people can hear, is physically energetic, and LOVES to show off. Combine those wonderful traits and add my own tendency to have a song running through my head at all times (currently: “Summer Sun Celebration PMV”), and you get a cheetah katul who often sings softly when around friends, will just about never turn down the opportunity to do karaoke, sings to fill in dead air while streaming, and often damn near dances through a fight while hitting and moving in time with the music like he’s living osu! in actual life. Imagine how off-putting it must be to be sneaking through a building, having disabled the security devices, only to hear Lemon Demon’s “I’ve Got Some Falling To Do,” turning around to see a walking cat kick your partner through a window, and hearing “it’s a monstrous squid, and he saved my life / but I am too freaked out to be nice / so I tell him the truth, that...” while he saunters up to you with an unwavering smile, being precisely wherever your bullets aren’t.

...er, yeah. I really like him.

Glossary of a few Traditional African American (slave) foods

Cala: Sweetened rice cake, African in origin, served with morning café au lait, formerly sold by black women in the French Quarter of New Orleans. In Georgia, this sweetened rice cake was called saraka. A women born in slavery in the 1930s recalls her mother making the cakes: “Yesium. I membuh how she made it. She wash rice, ann po off all duh watah. She let wet rice sit all night, and put in mawtuhm an beat it tuh paste wid wooden pastle. She add honey, sometime shuguh, add it in floot cake wid uh kams. Saraka, she call um.”  (btw this kinda reminds me of the japanese treat called mochi)

Calalu: Thick soup or stew similar to gumbo. Ferdinand Ortiz traced calalu to African coilu, which is a Mandingo name for a plant resembling spinach. In Pointe Coupee, Louisiana, it is a rich soup or stew in which one or more kinds of calalu leaves are the chief ingredients. Calalu is also the name given to several plants having edible leaves, eaten as greens and in soup, or used medicinally.

Coffee: Word derived from Kaffa, region in Ethiopia.

Cowpeas: Vigna unguiculata, black-eyed peas. Used in the southern U.S. by both blacks and whites. Traveled from Africa to North America in holds of slave ships as food for the cargoes.

Cush, chushie: Sweet, fried cornmeal cake that first appeared in American English in 1770. Gullah kush or kushkush. Related to Hausa via Arabic kusha.

Fufu: Called “turn meal and flour” in South Carolina. A mixture of cornmeal and flour is poured into a pot of boiling water. From this fufu mixture, enslaved Africans made “hot cakes” in the fields, which were sometimes called ashcakes or hoecakes. These evolved into “pancakes” and “hotwater cornbread.” Fufu is a common food throughout Africa and the New World; it consists of yams, plantains, and cassava roots (manioc, tapioca) cut into pieces and boiled together; maize or Indian corn beaten into one mass and eaten with pepper, boiled in a pot with okra. A substantial dish of fufu is composed of eddoes, ochas, and mashed plantains made savory with rich crabs and pungent with cayenne pepper.

Goober: A Bantu word for peanut. Another word for peanut is pinder from the Congo word mpinda. The first known records of the word are in Jamaica in 1707, and in South Carolina in 1848. Pinder Town is the name of a place in South Carolina.

Grits: Enslaved Africans took hominy (the hauled dried kernels of Indian corn) and made grits by grinding the corn hauls and cooking them; grits is similar to eb, which is eaten in Africa.

Guinea Corn: Guinea Corn, also called sorghum and millet (Sorghum vulgave), is an indigenous African crop transported to North America by Africans.

Gumbo: This word is similar to the Tshiluba word kingombo and the Umbundu word ochingombo. It is a soup made of okra pods, shrimp, and powdered sassafras leaves. It was known to most southerners by the 1780s.

Gunger Cake: Gingerbread, which is a dark molasses cake flavored with the powdered root of the ginger plant, is thought to have originated in the Congo and been carried to North America by enslaved Africans.

Hop’n johns: Traditional West African dish of black-eyed peas and rice cooked together. It is common in AA cuisine.

Jambalaya: Bantu tshimbolebole, dish of tender, cooked corn. African-influenced dish similar to gumbo, particular to New Orleans. Africans brought to Louisiana from the Kongo.

Jollof Rice: Style of cooking red rice brought to the American South by the Mande of West Africa. Also related to red rice.

Juba: Traditional slave food. Refers to the food that enslaved Africans working in the plantation house collected from the “massa’s” leftovers. Such leftovers were called juba, jibba, or jiba. On Saturday or Sunday, the leftovers were thrown together; no one could distinguish the meat from the bread and vegetables. This juba was placed in a huge pot, and those working in the ‘Big House” shared it with those working in the fields.

Maluvu: Tshiluba maluvu, palm wine. Produced throughout Africa from sap or juice collected from palm trees. African Americans continued to make it in Savannah, Georgia; in South Carolina, the palmetto tree is the source of this potent brew. In some cases, African Americans extracted material from the center the palmetto tree, called palm cabbage or palmetto cabbage, and cooked or fermented it for wine.

Millet Bread: The seeds of various grasses made into bread were used as food on the slave ships that carried enslaved Africans to the Americas.

Okra: Abelmoschus esculentus, also called guibo and guimyombo, originated in what geo-botanists call the Abyssinian (Ethiopian) center of human food zones. It is still cultivated in present-day Ethiopia on the plateau portions of Eritrea, and in parts of the Sudan. It also became the essential ingredient of Louisiana gumbo.

Peanut Oil: First introduced by enslaved Africans in the American South, especially in deep-fat frying, a cooking style that originated in western and central Africa.

Pone Bread: Enslaved Africans made mush from cornmeal and called it pone bread, a mush cake similar to mush patties baked in African for centuries.

Kola: Cola acuminate and Cola nitida. Trees were native to western Sudan, and their fruit, the Kola nut, became the principal ingredient used in making modern cola drinks. During the slave trade, kola nuts were given enslaved Africans to suppress their hunger and thirst. They were used also as a medicine of sorts. A transatlantic slaver wrote: “The seed, brought in a Guinean ship from that country, is called ‘bichy’ by the Colomanty and is eaten and used for pains in the belly.”

Rice: Oryza sativa and Oryza glaberrimi, were indigenous varieties of rice imported in 1685 from the island of Madagascar to South Carolina. Some historians contend that enslaved Africans first showed white Americans how to cultivate rice. By 1740, rice had become a major staple in the South Carolina farming and slave-based economy.

Sesame: Sesamum indicum, or sesame, also known as benne seed in South Carolina were brought as seeds by West Africans to South Carolina. Slaves raised large crops of sesame, being fond of the plant’s nutritious seeds for making soups and puddings. They also used sesame oil for cooking and lighting lamps within private estates as well as on the public roads.

Tania: Colocasia esculenta, coco yam; eddo in West Africa; Tanya in West Indies. Appears indigenous to Central Africa with two known varieties: “Old coco yam” (Colocaccia antiquorum) probably originated in the Congo basin, with its earliest citation being made by the Portuguese in the 15th century; “Coco yam Tania” (Xanthosomaa sagitifolium) was a popular root plant in Sea Islands of Gerogia and South Carolina.

Watermelon: Citrullus vulgaris, spread from Sudan to Egypt during the second millennium B.C.E. Now, it is distributed throughout the world. The transatlantic slave trade served as a major vehicle in transporting watermelon to the New World, where it remained a favorite among blacks and whites alike. Enslaved field hands often planted watermelon in the fields so they could enjoy them in July and August, the two hottest months of the year, while they hoed and picked cotton.

Pone Reviews 89: Honest Apple Good Saturday to you all! Welcome back to Pone Reviews. I went and played a western-themed bingo yesterday, so I was inspired to bring you an Applejack review. What happens when Rarity asks our favorite apple horse to judge a fashion show? Let's find out in Season 7's "Honest Apple!" We start with the moral. "You need to think about how others feel before you say things - words can hurt." Another good one for kids (an audience which feels like the target for this episode). Language is a powerful thing, kids! People can interpret and misinterpret it in many ways. It's why you should think about what you say before you say something. Applejack thought she meant well, but she ended up hurting a lot of ponies' feelings. Twilight already showed us in "Amending Fences" that a simple action can sting a person for a long time. You don't want to do that to your friends. It's why we say the pen is mightier than the sword. The sword may create physical wounds, but the pen creates words, which subsequently create emotional wounds. And let's be real, if everybody followed that rule (in real life and on the internet) and were just kind to one another, the world would be a much better place, right? So monitor those words before they leave your lips! A simple phrase like "Fashion is ridiculous" may sound simple to you and complex to another. Now onto the plot. Rarity is hosting a young designers' fashion show with Hoity Toity and Photo Finish, and she has found the perfect guest judge: Applejack?! Hoo boy. This, ladies, gentlemen, and people in between, is an episode that stands out as one of my least favorite episodes of all time. (If you're easily offended, turn away now!) Why do I feel so strongly? I've mentioned before that I despise episodes that seem to reverse character development. This is one of them! Applejack has struggled with her honesty in the past and fights to make sure nopony is hurt by her truth. She's one of the most empathetic characters in the show. SO WHERE WAS THAT EMPATHY HERE?! It may be a good lesson, but it feels so out of character for her. Here she just comes off as a bully to Lily Lace, Inky Rose, and Starstreak. We could blame Rarity here for inviting AJ in the first place, but she didn't make her a bully. I have no more words, just... WTF? Here are some more sour apple moments from this episode: *What's with that title? "Honest Apple." We know she's an honest Apple. Why reinforce that? The title can't be related to fashion in any way? It rolls off the tongue nicely, but it may be my least MLP favorite episode title ever. *Jesus Christ, Applejack! You're just gonna screw up Lily Lace's hat like that? It took her hours to get it just right! That pisses me off so much you have no idea. *I may disagree with Applejack for the majority of this episode, but I have to go with her on that belt argument. It's ridiculous. Just let Starstreak pick the belt and don't fight. *So... what happened to Coco, sorry, MISS Pommel working at Rarity For You? She just said in that episode that she couldn't work opening night because she was sick. Shouldn't stop her from working there after that. She probably isn't making costumes if she's staffing for Rarity. *Also, the name Miss Pommel. (I get there are copyright concerns, still bothers me.) *I am actually a little taken aback that Applejack is offended by Strawberry Sunrise. You can't expect everypony to like a food. Maybe somepony is allergic to apples or something like that. And Strawberry has a valid reason for disliking them! How is AJ gonna counter the worms? And here are some sweet strawberry moments from this episode: *KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS *Photo Finish has eyes! And they look good! *I seriously love Strawberry Sunrise. Munching on her strawberries in front of the haters without a care in the world. We should all strive to be Strawberry Sunrise. *HARD ROCK RARITY OH YEAH *Aww, Apple Bloom wants a hat like her sister! *Oh, hey, Hard Hat. In short: An honest episode with a useful moral and a bully apple horse. I want to hug Lily Lace for getting her hat destroyed. 3.25 out of 5 rainbows 🌈🌈🌈% Well, thanks for reading another rage-filled Pone Reviews. The Season 8 midseason finale is upon us... and I may have a bit of angst leftover from this review. Diamond out!

[clatterbane]

OK, everything already got sorted out. And I just finished washing a bunch of dishes... 😒

New plan of attack: Go ahead and turn the whitefish pieces into nuggets as planned. (Now sitting for a few minutes with enough buttermilk to coat them well, and a little salt.)

For the fish coating: something like 3/4 cup of the coarser cornmeal, 1/4 cup of the fine corn flour to help it all stick better (masa harina also works great). Seasoned with maybe 1/2 tsp. table salt, a good grinding of pepper, and a teaspoon of Creole seasoning. That's actually a version of Emeril's recipe, mixed up in the empty commercial container.

Let's just mix that up to roll the fish pieces in, give that other plate a good sprinkle of meal, and transfer the fish onto it to rest in the fridge. Working with a cornmeal and/or rice flour coating, it really pays to let the thing sit for at least 10 minutes for the coating to absorb moisture so it will stay on better.

Time to start dealing with the rest while that chills.

As for the weird minced salmon sludge, and also any other sub-nugget sized fishy fragments?

Enter FRANKENPATTIES!

It may or may not be any good, but damned if I want to waste anything.

Was considering making some hot water cornbread with green onion anyway, to use up the leftover coating cornmeal. The original hushpuppies!

And you can successfully throw just about anything else in the dough to make some kind of fritter. (Also, similar to the shabbat fish which later picked up chips in London? Having the other food cooked and essentially sealed up inside a fried crust will help keep your meat/fish good for longer. Particularly handy in hotter weather, and for packing food along with you.)

So, why not try that handful of fucked-up fish scraps? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's already going to have little remnant crumbs of fish in there.

Stirring a little more plain cornmeal in with the remaining seasoned stuff, based on a wild guess about seasoning levels once the fish and green onion are mixed in. Also how much bready stuff it might take to hold that salmon together decently.

Yep, I'm really winging it here.

The plan is to stir together the basic dough, and then let it cool down enough to handle before mixing in the rest. May make it a little on the stiffer side, because that fish will most likely release some extra liquid.

As ready as it's going to be! This is more dough mixture than I planned, and I would chop up another green onion for it if I could be arsed.

Better do a test Frankenpatty, to see if it's even worth cooking the rest.

(Any kind of hot water cornbread proto-hush puppies will benefit from getting cooked before the fish, btw. Fish cooks fast, and the bread will take a while to cool down enough to eat and also develop the right fluffier texture inside. The pones also won't get covered in gritty over-browned crumbs of stray fish coating that way. )

Erm, so far so good? Let's crack it open and give it a taste as soon as I dare.

Tonight's plan: some fried fish nuggets, for the first time in ages. Good opportunity while I'm on my own and trying to keep myself distracted, since I am the main fish fan around here. Plus, it's warm enough to have windows open anyway, for frying fish under a stove hood that doesn't vent to the outside.

To that end, I actually thought ahead and stuck this pack of mixed stew/pie fish into the fridge last night to thaw out.

Cubes of pollack, cod, and salmon. Looks promising enough. Let's just open the bag and gently squeeze some of the excess water out, shall we?

BRUH.

Did that salmon somehow go weirdly squishy? It smells and looks OK, other than the structural integrity issue.

Nope!

It appears that some cheap goddamn fishmongering maniac decided to form finely minced salmon scraps into a frozen block. Which they then proceeded to saw up into little cubes and throw in a stew mix. Nobody will ever notice the difference, right? 🥴

In all fairness, I did not read the bag carefully. And I am not wanting to dig it out of the trash now. I have, however, bought similar frozen fish pie chunks before, and never gotten hold of anything like that.

(To Be Continued, no doubt. I am taking a little break to regroup.)

Woke up around 8a, snoozed til 10a, got up, brewed some coffee, and made some breakfast. Derped for awhile then started prepping for the shoot in the evening. So sad I couldn't find any of my suction cups or super clamps for the rig shot. Sighs. Finally got all the gear together and ready to shoot. Left the house around 4p, went to Houston Camera Exchange to pick up some super clamps. The weather was crazy hot today. Good thing i hydrate myself often now. After HCE, I went to Thien An for a banh mi while Peter of BFP accompanied me. I had to meet up Daniel at Giant Leap coffee at 6p to shoot his Z. Such a nice Z with a badass VQ Engine. Static shots were good and the rig shot had to be post poned until tomorrow since I needed one more super clamp. Went to the Ricebox to meet up with Johnp. I got to watch Johnp brew some Thai tea. We had our meeting on the way to Coral Sword about his crazy NSX. We dropped off the keg and went back to the Ricebox heights. Johnp dropped me off at the ricebox heights and I went home. Stopped by Costas house since he found my suction cups and clamps. Heated up some leftover banh xeo and steak. Ate while watching Suits S7, showered afterwards, and went to bed around 2a.

Top 40: Nuestras series preferidas de la década (Parte II)

Segunda parte de la lista con nuestras series preferidas de la década. Aquí están las veinte series mejor valoradas por los redactores del blog.

20. Big Little Lies (Estados Unidos, 2017-)

La serie del misterio sin resolver, de las divas, de las actrices que te dejan con la boca abierta y, sobre todo, de la sororidad. Si algo caracteriza esta serie es la unión que se crea entre todos los personajes femeninos a pesar de las diferencias. Una segunda temporada solvente (a pesar de las dudas que generaba su pertinencia) que no desmerece una primera temporada brillante. La serie con la que amar a Nicole Kidman y detestar a Meryl Streep, quién nos lo iba a decir. Disponible en HBO.

19. Shameless (Estados Unidos, 2011-)

Diez temporadas, que se dice pronto, llevamos sufriendo con las desventuras de los Gallagher. Hemos visto crecer a los hijos, hemos amado a Fiona y odiado a Frank con todas nuestras fuerzas. La familia más inestable de la televisión, que no sabes si adoptarlos o llamar a la policía, que te hacen sufrir como si fueran tus propios vecinos. A pesar de algún altibajo y de la salida de algunos de los actores principales, ha sabido mantener el nivel y tiene pinta de que tiene cuerda para rato. Disponible en Amazon Prime (T1-8) y Movistar+ (T9 y 10).

18. The Good Wife (Estados Unidos, 2009-2016) / The Good Fight (Estados Unidos, 2017-)

Sí, hemos hecho trampas, hemos metido a las dos juntas para ganar un puesto. Pero no nos juzguéis, vosotros tampoco seríais capaces de elegir. La serie de abogados por excelencia (lo siento, Ally McBeal) protagonizada por mujeres fuertes, independientes y resolutivas y por hombres a los que queremos, pero no tanto. Un Chicago lluvioso y unos cameos de lujo completan unas series basadas en la actualidad y muy críticas con el gobierno actual de Estados Unidos. Disponibles en Amazon Prime y The Good Fight también en Movistar+.

17. Olive Kitteridge (Estados Unidos, 2014)

Adaptación de la novela homónima y protagonizada por Frances McDormand, nos cuenta la historia de Olive, una profesora de matemáticas que vive en un pueblo remoto de Estados Unidos. La serie habla de la depresión, de problemas familiares, de nuevos amigos, de la madurez y el paso de los años, en definitiva, de la vida. Ganó, muy merecidamente, casi todos los premios a los que estaba nominada, y eran una veintena. Disponible en HBO.

16. Girls (Estados Unidos, 2012-2017)

Lena Dunham, creadora y protagonista de la serie, se autoproclamó en el primer episodio “la voz de su generación”. Puede que la vida de estas jóvenes neoyorkinas de clase acomodada no te represente del todo, pero sí es cierto que ha sabido plasmar las inquietudes de los millennials (blancos y heterosexuales, sí), dejándonos una serie de culto. Pasará a la historia por su representación del cuerpo femenino no normativo, así como de la sexualidad de la mujer como pocas veces lo habíamos visto antes. Disponible en HBO.

15. Bron (Dinamarca-Suecia, 2011-2018)

Uno de los nordic noir más internacionales que ha dado lugar a varios remakes. La serie comienza con la aparición de un cadáver en el puente que une Suecia y Dinamarca, con medio cuerpo en cada país, por lo que la policía de ambos países tendrá que colaborar para resolver el caso. A pesar de los clichés de los policías torturados, con problemas personales o muy eficaces en el trabajo, pero con problemas para relacionarse, la serie es brillante y cada temporada (autoconclusiva) pide ser devorada en una tarde. Disponible en Movistar+.

14. Paquita Salas (España, 2016-) 

¿Cómo? ¿Qué aún no te has enamorado de nuestra representante más internacional? Nos atrajo por su sencillez y caímos definitivamente rendidos a sus pies cuando se hizo grande. Porque, a pesar de todo, nunca ha perdido su esencia. El humor, los cameos, el buen rollo que se respira y la capacidad para hacer reír y llorar (a veces a la vez) son solo algunas de las razones por las que merece la pena descubrirla. Te queremos, Paquita. Disponible en Netflix.

13. Game of Thrones (Estados Unidos, 2011-2019)

No podía faltar la serie más comentada de la década, la que nos deja una generación de Khaleesis y Aryas que tendrán que dar muchas explicaciones sobre sus nombres dentro de unos años. Reinos lejanos, traiciones, dragones voladores, alianzas, conspiraciones, espadas y un solo trono, el de hierro, el que todos quieren. Decían que era la última serie que veríamos todos juntos, comentándola en las redes sociales, en unos pocos meses Watchmen nos ha demostrado que no teníamos razón, como no la teníamos tampoco los que pensábamos que el trono acabaría en manos de alguien que lo mereciera. Disponible en HBO.

12. Veep (Estados Unidos, 2012-2019)

Ha sido la gran rival a batir en cada temporada de premios desde que se estrenó, y todos los que se ha llevado han estado más que justificados. Una sátira política con un humor fino y una Julia Louis-Dreyfus maravillosa en el papel de Selina Meyer, vicepresidenta de los Estados Unidos con aspiraciones a más. Es imposible no quererla y no sufrir con cada una de sus meteduras de pata, sin duda uno de los grandes personajes cómicos del universo seriéfilo. Disponible en HBO.

11. Borgen (Dinamarca, 2010-2014)

Y pasamos de una vicepresidenta a una presidenta, Birgitte Nyborg. Quien piense que los entresijos de la política danesa no tienen interés no puede estar más equivocado. Muchos la comparan con The Good Wife y no solo tienen razón, sino que las actrices que encarnan a las protagonistas son fans de la otra serie. No sé si habéis entendido algo, pero no pasa nada, quedaos con que es la serie perfecta para acompañaros este invierno, no os decepcionará.

10. Years & Years (Reino Unido, 2019)

Que levante la mano quien haya visto esta serie y no haya tenido miedo por el mundo que estamos construyendo, que no se haya dejado el corazón en esa playa, quien no haya aplaudido el monólogo de la abuela en el episodio final. Una distopía tan realista que pone los pelos de punta. No os sorprenderá ver que también está en nuestro top de series europeas del año. Disponible en HBO.

9. Fleabag (Reino Unido, 2017-2019)

Nadie rompe la cuarta pared como Phoebe Waller-Bridge, como tampoco nadie ha hecho tanto por que recuperemos la fe cristiana como ella. Cada episodio es un diamante en bruto, un pedazo de la vida de esa mujer que podrías ser tú, con sus traumas, sus relaciones fallidas, su madrastra odiosa, su hermana a la que quieres pero también matarías y esa amiga que sigue ahí aunque ya no esté. En serio, ¿qué haces que no la estás viendo? Disponible en Amazon Prime.

8. The Leftovers (Estados Unidos, 2014-2017)

Damon Lindelof se cuela en lo más alto con dos series, y porque no tiene más. Una serie hipnótica sobre el duelo, sobre la incomprensión que provoca la muerte, sobre las formas que tiene cada uno de sobreponerse, sobre las eternas preguntas sin respuesta. Un viaje tan maravilloso como duro, visualmente espectacular y con una banda sonora en la que quedarse a vivir. Disponible en HBO.

7. Chernobyl (Estados Unidos, 2019)

Quién nos iba a decir a principios de este año que una serie sobre el accidente de Chernobyl se colaría en todos los tops, y no es para menos. Qué manera de acercarnos a uno de los mayores desastres de la historia, de hacernos descubrir lo que vivieron quienes estaban dentro de la central, sus familiares, los vecinos de la zona y lo que costó que la verdad saliera a la luz. Esta serie pone cara y nombre a algunas de las víctimas y deja en evidencia un sistema imperfecto y un gobierno incapaz de gestionar la crisis correctamente. Disponible en HBO.

6. Watchmen (Estados Unidos, 2019)

Damon Lindelof ha vuelto a hacerlo, ha vuelto a pegarnos cada semana a la pantalla, a dejarnos con la boca abierta y a regalarnos planos maravillosos y una banda sonora que escuchar en bucle. No es una adaptación del cómic homónimo, sino una continuación de la historia en un 2019 alternativo en el que el racismo es una de las grandes lacras de la sociedad. No hace falta conocer la historia para dejarse cautivar por una de las grandes series que se ha colado in extremis en las listas de lo mejor del año y de la década. Disponible en HBO.

5. The Crown (Reino Unido, 2017-)

God Save The Queen, sobre todo a la interpretada por la maravillosa Olivia Colman. Los entresijos de Buckinham Palace dan mucho de sí y no podemos estar más contentos de que nos desvelen todos sus secretos. No se sabe cuánto hay de realidad y cuánto de ficción en lo que se nos cuenta y, la verdad, no nos importa. Nos gusta pensar que todo es verdad y que la Reina disfruta tanto como nosotros haciendo un repaso a su vida. Disponible en Netflix.

4. Better Things (Estados Unidos, 2016-)

La sombra de Louis C.K. es alargada pero Pamela Adlon ha conseguido seguir brillando tras la salida de la serie de su compañero y amigo por sus escándalos sexuales. Una madre más cerca de los cincuenta que de los cuarenta, divorciada, con tres hijas adolescentes absolutamente insoportables y una carrera en el mundo de la interpretación con demasiados altibajos. La sencillez y la naturalidad con la que se nos cuenta su día a día hace que sea perfecta desde el primer episodio. Disponible en HBO.

3. Parks & Recreation (Estados Unidos, 2009-2015)

Ojalá todas las ciudades del mundo tuvieran su Departamento de Parques y Recreación y que todos pudiéramos trabajar en él. Podría competir sin dificultad en la liga de las mejores comedias de la historia, y no es para menos. Leslie Knope y su equipo nos han regalado episodios para enmarcar y carcajadas solo comparables a las de otra serie con la que comparten padres, The Office. Disponible en Amazon Prime.

2. Mad Men (Estados Unidos, 2007-2015)

Qué maravilla fue descubrir lo que se cocinaba en los despachos de una de las agencias de publicidad más prestigiosas del Nueva York de los 60, y acompañar a Don Draper en su viaje vital. Crecer con Peggy Olson, amar a Joan, odiar a Pete, compadecerse de Betty y disfrutar de cada minuto de esta maravillosa serie y de sus personajes, tan bien dibujados, tan reales. Nunca es mal momento para volver a ella, o para descubrirla si aún no lo has hecho. Disponible en Netflix.

1. The Americans (Estados Unidos, 2013-2018)

Esta serie ha pasado tan desapercibida para el público español que sorprenderá a más de uno verla en el primer puesto, pero es que lo merece. No tiene una temporada mala, ni un episodio flojo o de relleno. Pocas series nos han hecho cuestionarnos tanto como lo ha hecho ella a través de Elisabeth y Philip, el matrimonio de espías rusos afincados en Washington en los años 80. Hemos sufrido, hemos defendido lo indefendible, nos hemos replanteado nuestros principios, hemos crecido con sus hijos y evolucionado con ellos. Y Martha, ay, Martha. Sin duda la serie que más nos ha hecho vibrar, y eso que la competencia era dura. Vedla, vedla, vedla.

El creador de Lost y The Leftovers pone en marcha una serie sobre Watchmen para HBO

El creador de Lost y The Leftovers pone en marcha una serie sobre Watchmen para HBO

Watchmen está considerada como una de las mejores películas del universo superheroico de la historia, aunque por alguna razón no tuvo una secuela ni hubo continuación de ningún tipo. Sea como sea, y sin tener ninguna relación en sí misma con el resto de producciones, es una película aclamada por la crítica.

Por eso no nos sorprende saber que están poniendo en marcha una serie. Quizás sí es…

Lezione del 27 marzo 2017

La lezione ha presentato alcune delle Fluxus Boxes create da George Maciunas, George Brecht e altri esponenti del movimento Fluxus a partire dai primi anni Sessanta. 

Flux Year Box 2 (1968 ca.). Disegnata e assemblata da George Maciunas. The Gilbert and Lila Silverman Fluxus Collection Gift  www.moma.org/fluxus_editions

Considerando il carattere immateriale, effimero e intermediale delle creazioni Fluxus - che pone rilevanti problemi di conservazione e archiviazione - le scatole si presentano come artefatti molto significativi, che racchiudono materiali trovati, carte, biglietti di istruzioni assemblati in modo non-lineare. Gli artisti Fluxus hanno lavorato con un approccio “Do It Yourself”, basato sulla casualità del materiale a disposizione e sulla sua ricombinazione.

Fluxkit (1965). Disegnata e assemblata da George Maciunas. The Gilbert and Lila Silverman Fluxus Collection Gift www.moma.org/fluxus_editions

Nella seconda parte della lezione Carla Subrizi, presidente della Fondazione Baruchello, ha presentato una selezione di opere dell'artista Gianfranco Baruchello legate ai temi della riduzione, della scatola, dell'assemblage come cortocircuito concettuale: da Palle e spilli del 1960, un vassoio su cui ha luogo un "happening al supermercato", all'ironica valigetta Nécessaire per l'oltretomba del 1962, alle scatole di plexiglass costituite da diversi layer sovrapposti, ai contenitori dei Leftovers del 1975 che raccolgono le cose accumulatesi sul tavolo in fine di giornata, fino al Piccolo sistema presentato alla Biennale del 2013, e a opere in corso.

Gianfranco Baruchello, Nécessaire per l’oltretomba (1962) Fondazione Baruchello, Roma
