This probably doesn't come as a surprise, but I'm still on a bit of a hiatus, at this point. I'm trying to focus more on revamping and getting things all cleaned up while I'm not doing writing things, and to that end, below the readmore is an updated list of muses, since my current information is very out of date.

A belated entry for @criticalbakes ‘s Keyleth Week - meringues with cherry sauce!

This is inspired by Keyleth’s Air Ashari origins, and specifically her being crowned Voice of the Tempest. The meringues are light and, well, airy, so they felt like the natural choice to represent the Air Ashari. The cherry sauce is because the motif of the cherry tree during that scene stuck with me really vividly, both from Matt’s descriptions and from the gorgeous fanart in the art reel afterwards, so I knew it had to be something with cherry. There are recipes for cherry blossom-shaped meringues, but I think we all know my fine motor skills now.

The sauce was store bought, but I made the meringues myself because they’re honestly my favorite dessert to make. Recipe’s originally in German, and I’ll give you the original source in a reblog, but you’ll get my translation behind a cut:

Ingredients:

2 egg whites

Pinch of salt

Lemon juice

100g fine sugar

Preheat your oven to 100°C/210°F. 

Combine the egg whites with a pinch of salt and a few drops of lemon juice in a dry bowl, making sure there’s absolutely no fat in the bowl. We’re basically doing chemistry here, and having fat in your mixture would mean you wouldn’t get a proper foam.

Using a handheld mixer, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.

While still beating the egg white foam, add the sugar bit by bit.

Keep stirring until the sugar has dissolved and you obtain a firm, shiny cream. (If, like me, you’re worried about not recognizing that point: you will. This is in fact why I love making meringues so much, because that transformation from “eh, egg foam” to recognizable meringue mass never gets old.)

Line a baking tray with baking paper, and place portions of meringue on it in the desired shape using a tablespoon, or with a pastry bag if you want to be fancy.

Let the meringues dry in the oven at 100°C/210°F for 1.5 to 2 hours, with the baking tray on the middle rack. Then turn off the oven, open the oven door somewhat, but leave the meringues in and let them cool off and dry out, preferably overnight.

If you store them in airtight containers, your meringues will keep for two weeks. 

Aside from sandwiching the meringues, another possible option would have been to crumble the meringues and make a layered dessert with the cherry sauce, but... well, I finally baked something that kept its shape, you all had to see that.

D&Dangerous All-Fictional All-Stars

As I promised to @davependrys on twitter, here’s my full 20 person women’s hockey roster made entirely of people’s Tabletop RPG characters and NPCs, plus my picks for the captain, the 2 assistant captains, the coach, and the GM.  I submitted only Kima, Strix and Carey Fangbattle in the official RAWHL fantasy draft, but I was inspired and couldn’t stop!  

Click below the cut for the full list, and feel free to reblog with your own picks!

(Be warned that my reasoning has spoilers for Critical Role C1 and C2, The Adventure Zone: Balance, Dice Camera Action, VAST, Eric’s TBD RPG, and Shield of Tomorrow.  I also mention Acquisitions Inc: C Team, but there are no spoilers for that campaign)

Goalies:

Kima of Vord (Critical Role Campaign 1)

Lady Kima of Vord is a paladin of the Platinum Dragon, well known for her aggression, strength, stubbornness, and unwavering faith in her friends.  Her faith and stubbornness would prove equally important as a Goalie in the RAWHL, although the aggression may prove problematic if opponents manage to get under her skin.

Lup (The Adventure Zone)

As a high level Evocation Wizard and Lich, Lup certainly has the skills necessary to play in the RAWHL.  She survived a 12 year imprisonment in an umbrella with her mind and powers intact, and her focus remains impeccable both as a mortal and in her lich form - important when facing smart opposition in the rink.

Defenders:

Strix (Dice, Camera, Action) *Assistant Captain

While her history of fear might indicate a disadvantage as a defensive stalwart, Strix’s main motivation in all of her heroic endeavours have been protection of her friends. I see some great leadership potential in Strix, but her anxiety makes me hesitate to give her the C right off the bat, so she gets an A.

Killian (The Adventure Zone)

Killian doesn’t have a lot of patience for incompetence.  She pushed herself to the peak as a rogue, and will be able to steal the puck away from her opponents and get it as far away from her net as she can.  She’ll also push her team to be better at doing the same.

Vex’ahlia (Critical Role Campaign 1)

Honestly, I was torn on whether to put Vex on Defence or Forward, but when I considered that she multi-classed in Rogue, I settled on Defence.  I needed her on the team for her speed though - Vex just flies. (SORRY NOT SORRY FOR PUNNING)

T’Lan (Shield of Tomorrow)

T’Lan is more a stay-at-home defender than the rest, but her analytical mind will put her in ideal positioning at any given point during the day.  Plus, given her Vulcan strength, she will be nigh unmovable if anyone wants to knock her off the puck.

Kayla Torvis (VAST)

Kayla’s history as the protector of the Rampel Family puts her in the right mindset for defence, and her ability to withstand a direct blast from a tank give her the physical ability to protect the net.  She also has incredible tactical skill from her 135-ish years participating in the Sojourner-Returner conflict and observing the aftermath as a wandering ronin. She may have some difficulty meshing with some of the other personalities on the team, due to her long solitude, but the team leadership should mitigate that issue.

Louvin Yikjaal Muur (VAST)

Louvin’s high level of intelligence and tendency to jump to the defence of her crew made her an ideal two-way defender.  Her Kiraeyi racial trait, pheremones, will also give her an advantage when battling forwards for possession of the puck.

Forwards:

Carey Fangbattle (The Adventure Zone)

Carey is far too flashy to be a defender.  Just... can you picture her sitting around and waiting for someone to bring the puck close so she can stop it?  No.  She’s gonna chase that puck.  She’s going to chase it to the other goal and then she’s gonna score and kiss Killian and it’ll be great.  I love their love and I want them both on my team.  Shut up, you do too.

Nott the Brave (Critical Role Campaign 2)

Speed and size, more than anything, put this Goblin Rogue among my forwards.  It’s perhaps a little obvious, but she’s a pickpocket forward, more likely to pass the puck to her team than go for the snipe herself, although she’s certainly capable if she has the shot.

Evelyn Avalona Helvig Marthain (Dice, Camera, Action)

As a paladin of the Morning Lord, Evelyn is the kind of forward who will be absolutely lethal on a breakaway, but more than that she will be able to draw attention to herself in the opponent’s end while her linemates get themselves into better position for a dump goal.

Jester (Critical Role Campaign 2)

While we don’t know know everything about Jester yet, she’s certainly another flashy forward.  She’s also extremely strong, and will be well suited to muscle off bulky stay-at-home defence on the opposite team.

Throlo Sh’shirros (Shield of Tomorrow)

As an Andorian, Dr Sh’shirros is at home on the ice.  Her innate skill on skates will put her on the team but it’s her analytical mind and unbeatable optimism that I really want.

Lark Sage/Razka Anell (Shield of Tomorrow)

Our mult-named Bajoran has a lot of aggression and past trauma to work out, and I personally think sports would be very good for that.  She’s also an excellent pilot, and because of that she’ll be able to see lots of great routes through defensive nets to give herself a breakaway opportunity.

Keyleth (Critical Role Campaign 1) *Assistant Captain

Keyleth’s skill is, of course, vast and undeniable, and her leadership as the Headmaster of the Air Ashari is certainly a great feature.  She’s used to an established team and structure though, with personalities that almost always mesh well, which is why I’m giving her the A instead of the C

Tova (Critical Role Campaign 1)

Tova’s there for the dump goals.  She’s going to hang out beside the net and wait for her lineys to pass her the puck and slide it in beside the goalie, and there’s nothing you can do about it.  She escaped the Hells, after all - she knows how to hide when she needs to, and when you see her again it will be too late for you!

Zahra Hydris (Critical Role Campaign 1)

Zahra brings a veteran presence to this majority young team, and it’s certainly needed.  She’s strong tactically, and strong physically, and strong magically.  More likely to bring the puck to the net than to shoot from farther away, but capable of scoring from distance.

Lucy Bard (VAST) *Captain

Lucy Bard is a trailblazer, being the first human to captain a Peacekeep vessel, the leader of the team that discovered the Secret of the Pac-Ha, and the broker of the peace between the Peacekeep and the Brightest Eye.  Her undeniable talent puts her on the team, but her incredible skill at managing multiple big personalities and getting them to work together for a common goal, as well as her skill in communicating with both hostile and adoring media, puts her in the lead for the Captaincy.

Visionary Destroyer (VAST)

The queen of the Brightest Eye, Visionary Destroyer is aggressive, fast, and larger than the rest of her species. She expects loyalty from everyone on her side, and is very good at inspiring that loyalty among even those she has previously wronged in pursuit of her goals.  She is potentially going to have difficulty making fast changes to her tactics, but as her tactics have generally worked in the past this may not be an issue.

Finn (Eric’s TBD RPG)

Unforunately, I’m having trouble finding a synopsis of Finn’s background to link to, but this age of sail pirate queen is all about action.  She is unlikely to make flashy moves to draw attention to herself, which could put her in the right position to snipe at the net... unless her very excitable space spouse somehow gives away her position to the opposition.  Regardless, she;ll have a good time on the ice and throw a good party afterwards, and isn’t that half the fun?

Coach: Rosie Beestinger (Acquisitions Inc: C Team)

Rosie’s age and experience as an adventurer make her a standout choice for someone these women will listen to and learn from, and her tactical skill indicate that she will be able to create plays and combinations that will dominate on the ice. She’s also quite protective, but won’t let the women she’s coaching give anything less than their best.

GM: Lucretia (The Adventure Zone)

Lucretia’s alignment is certainly up for debate, but I’ve always read her as lawful neutral, which is fairly important in a GM. She’s also got an incredible tactical mind, a huge team of very well trained scouts on her payroll, and a mystical jellyfish that can erase information from the minds of anyone not inoculated against its power.  The future of this team is in good hands with Lucretia as the GM.
