Hello

As the resident ethogirl on my dash, i was wondering if you could recommend me some of your fav etho-centric fics or writers? :D

oh yeah absolutely! There's def more, but these guys are the first i think of.

RimeThyme - Again, really good characterization, and they write team canada's dynamic so well too. Domains of Dread is still one of my fav fics ever.

goingdownorup - Confession, when Jen de-anoned all their works i found out almost half of my favourite fics were written by the same person. I don't know how i didn't notice. I'm particularly reccommending Blood in the Water, because I'm a boat boys fan through and through.

boxmaker - Hoo boy. I think box was like... the first Ao3 author I read when I got into the fandom. Alternate Perspectives was the first fic i stayed up late obssessing over. The series is STILL ongoing, and it's definitely worth reading (even though i haven't read any of Double Trouble yet... I'm getting to it!!!)

birrdie - His writing tends to be darker than the other authors in this list but their mastery over words is crazy. One thing theyre really good at is putting emotion into their narration, and really get you in the character's heads. Reccing dead; in particular as a oneshot, but if you end up liking their writing you should definitely read mczu as well.

oh_snapperss - Laurie's been into other mcyt fandoms recently but i can't leave them out of an Etho-centric author list. I don't think i've been normal at all since reading ripped at every edge, but you're a masterpiece. ough. their characterization is just too good.

My corkboard came in, so I finally put together the beginning Stages of the Enclave strine.

[hyah-lian]

"Bite down on this!" Sky shouted, knocking his fist into the teeth of a Yiga soldier who was holding down Warriors.

Sky's one arm slipped off the table with the motion, toppling him over as he cracked a dozing Time across the jaw.

Time took it on the chin like an absolute champion and the two of them clattered to the floor of the inn, neither with eyes yet fully opened.

The pair laid in an awkward lump, stunned and blinking away sleep and stars.

"Doing wha' now?" Time blinked heavily as he prodded and massaged the sore spot.

"Oh- OH!" Sky stumbled back, motion stuttered by a huge yawn, "Ti-ime, what?"

"What?" Time echoed back.

"Bite down on this~" Legend snorted from behind Sky, "UP you get, time for you both to go to bed, I think."

"Shit, he didn't break any teeth did he?"

Wars was hoisting a still bleary-eyed Time up to standing. A few of the others who were still awake were stifling laughter into their arms or hands over the outburst.

Time gave a bloodied grimace he tried to play off as a grin. It felt like all his teeth were still in place, but Goddesses was it sore.

"Oh Gods, did I?" Sky yawned again before continuing, "Wh- I don't even remember what happened..."

"You and me both," Time scrubbed at his face. "Water under the bridge, and time for heroes under the blankets, get going."

He waved off everyone from the table to the inn's stairs. Some groans and mumbled half-sentences from the drowzier heroes being half-carried off to bed.

ICED OUT

this morning my UNMASKED self helped out at school arts department here in LOS ANGELES. this is not usually something i talk about to protect privacy of my other creative life but given whats happening in LA i think its worth the mention because ICE raids hurt these kids in so many insidious ways

they have NOTHING to do with how they arrived here and right now the fear hangs over them in a way that effects everything they do. yes, they could LITERALLY get snatched off the street, and some do, but even outside of the physical threat THE THREAT ITSELF is so harmful

the strange vibes and mysterious absences hung over everything at the start of the day, but when i popped in after helping i watched the assembly i saw something really beautiful: kids having fun. they were with their buds, they were in community, they were forgetting the threat for a moment.

there are so many ways to help. you can march in the street, you can volunteer, you can use art to urge others to do the same. you can CREATE spaces like an assembly auditorium full of cheering kids. today i am suggesting a donation. here is post of suggestions im trottin

i am going to be donating my own sum as well, and DOUBLE the profits of all tinglers sold today. so if you need a reason to check out the tingleverse now is your time. LETS TROT BUCKAROOS LOVE IS REAL

FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE BLUESKY I WILL LIST SOME OF THE DONATION LINKS HERE AS WELL:

Food Crime: Frosty the Slawman

so a while ago, I saw this photo going around on tumblr:

at first, I thought this was photoshopped. I mean, "welcome new man in your life"? that feels like a translation error, or someone being silly on purpose.

but guess what! turns out, Frosty Slaw Man is real!

and soon...he will be mine. let's get cooking

(full disclosure: I crafted this snowman and took notes about it over a year ago. and then, like with many things in my life, I forgot about him, and let him drift into the ADHD void of Things I'm Not Currently Staring At, where object permanence is tentative and largely unrealized.

but here we are! and here he is: the slaw man. it's time to share him with you, so that you can suffer as I have suffered, and/or rejoice in my gelatin creation!)

so this recipe photo originally came from Mid-Century Menu (archive link), a blog that seems like one after my own heart, and which once tried to make the Slaw Man (with not much success; but we'll get back to that)! but it's not just that blog that has copies of this ad. I also found it on reddit, and in a few different places on ebay!

lookit that guy! he's a real guy!

both the reddit post and some of the ebay listings say that this is from 1963 (though I haven't been able to figure out which magazines it was printed in, to confirm this for myself). but in looking this up, I discovered something else fun! there's another version of this ad!

Best Foods is what Hellmann's stuff is called on the west coast, and the "this is no place for second best" thing makes a lot more sense when you consider that the ad was probably made for Best Foods first, and then just reused and rebranded for the east coast

the more you know!

anyway the benefit of finding this alternate ad is that the scan on this image is a lot clearer, and so the recipe is more readable! and in looking at it, I've realized something important:

when Mid-Century Menu tried this recipe, they got an ingredient amount wrong.

when they made their beloved Slaw Man, they had the water amount written down as 1/4 cup, but looking at this scan up close, it is actually 3/4 cup of water! something that might make a significant difference, considering we're working with gelatin!

(there's also another change I want to make compared to what they did, when I do this recipe. but we'll get into that in a sec.)

for now: we begin

so. there's no way I'm making a Slaw Man this large. I am just one person, and considering the ingredients of this, I don't think I'm going to be able to consume that much Slaw.

two entire heads of cabbage? three pounds of cottage cheese, a thing that I don't even like to eat? no. that's a bad idea.

so I'm starting small here and making this 1/3 the size of the original:

2 packets of unflavored gelatin 1/4 cup cold water 1 cup mayo 1 tsp salt 1lb cottage cheese 4 cups shredded cabbage

surely this will result in a reasonable amount of Man

...okay, I started chopping the cabbage thinking it would be easier, but I've given up and pulled out a grater. this is much better! and somehow more violent (affectionate)

the recipe says to soften the gelatin in cold water, and then stir over hot water until it's dissolved. I'm going to assume "stir over hot water" means a double boiler, so let's do that

hmmm, the gelatin is very foamy? it’s melted, but the bottom of the pot feels really....sticky

okay. after a couple minutes more and no change, I’m calling this good enough.

so one thing that others who have attempted this recipe have not taken into consideration is the cottage cheese. you see, the others used normal cottage cheese, but the recipe says to use "cottage cheese, cream style"

I’ll be real, I’m not 100% what that means, since we don’t have that here. but I can take an educated guess! so let’s blend the cottage cheese!

(with an immersion blender. I am not willing to wash an actual blender because of this)

mmm, yes. very smooth

...actually. why isn't all cottage cheese like this? the thing I hate about cottage cheese is the texture, so why isn't it all smooth and creamy like this?? I could eat this!!

a new discovery is made every day in this house.

okay, time to start mixing things together.

ah, frosty. I opened a whole new thing of mayo for you! do you feel special?

(I'd make a "pre-dinner snack?" joke, but sometimes I think I'm the only one that remembers Regular Ordinary Swedish Meal Time)

okay, the mayo, cottage cheese, and salt have been added to the gelatin. but as this cools, the texture is getting...hmm. less than appealing.

lastly: the cabbage

oh. oh this is not very nice

next it says to pack the "salad" into a one pound container, and two six-cup bowls, but since I made this recipe so much smaller, I'm going to uhhhh. uh. find some bowls that seem like they'd be correct...snowman? proportions?

ah. this bowl is too big.

hey, these'll work!

now I just have to let them chill for a while, and continue another day.

(edit from current!me: ahhh oh my god I forgot this was pretty soon after we adopted Jackie! look at these cat pics that I took while I was food crime-ing!

look at them having their little interactions! Knuckles was trying so hard to be friends with her! I love them)

hello! two days later and we are ready to assemble the slawman. and my sibling has started referring to him as "frosty: attorney at slaw", so that's fun.

I've done a thing where, as these set, I flipped them around in the bowl so that hopefully they'd be more round. we'll see if they actually stay like this.

I have also made some decorations for him out of peppers, olives, and carrots!

let's build our boy

oh he's so heavy. and wobbly

no no no he almost fell over!!

okay. he's fine. but more skewers were needed.

and...okay. he is complete.

behold!

gaze upon my beautiful man!

(he is not structurally sound! he wobbles unsteadily as I rotate him! there are already cracks forming in the gelatin around where his arms are! don't worry about it!)

 now it's time to stab him

and...to devour him

this tastes like...a bland coleslaw? and not even that. it's just sort of a salty, cottage cheese-y cabbage. the ingredients don't combine to become something greater, they simply...sit there. like this.

and the texture is...mmm. it's not a jello kind of texture, but it is a bit squashy in a way that's mildly strange.

it's very creamy once it softens in your mouth.

...I don't like this!

and look! taking just that one chunk from him was enough to destabilize him entirely :(

RIP frosty. now I just have to see if I can eat all of you before you go bad.

(note from current!me: I could not.

 I ate maybe half of him over the course of many days, often adding other stuff to him to try to add some flavor: bacon, frozen peas, cheese, etc. but even with that, I just couldn't stomach him.

after a while I stuck what was left of him in the freezer, hoping that maybe I'd find the will to consume the rest of him some other day.

do you know what a frozen-and-then-thawed mixture of cabbage, cottage cheese, mayo, and gelatin looks and tastes like?

bad. the answer is: bad.

I threw him out pretty quickly after thawing him.

do not try this recipe at home)
