Has anyone shared the concept of brunost marshmallows with you? Instagram just flung it out at me (sadly the video did not feature the cheese in its unadulterated form; I assumed it was just some sort of caramel before I read the caption and moved from polite scepticism to intrigued bafflement)

My immediate reaction was oh my god what. But most of what I'm seeing is actually regular marshmallows with a Brunost caramel sauce, which makes sense given Brunost is basically caramel anyway -- it's whey heated to the maillard reaction point, I believe, though it's been a hot minute since I read about that. I've actually attempted to make it -- I had a bunch of whey left over from making yogurt and tried to brunost it up -- but mine turned into a solid block of caramel when it cooled. :D

I really need to find a reliable source of brunost, or somewhere that'll ship me imports; Whole Foods sometimes has it, but not always, and not the blue-wrapper stuff I've been seeking. Until then...I shall just dream of the salty dairy fudge. :D

Izzy Hands Fic Recs (Oct 15-31st)

My favorite of the Izzy fics that I read between October 15-31st 2023. See other recs here.

Ochre, Resin, and Light by onlyoneday (Ed/Stede/Izzy)

Pygmalion inspired Steddyhands in which Ed and Izzy, top conservation artists at London's National Portrait Gallery, restore an antique portrait of an unknown man for an upcoming show. Strange, then, when Ed starts seeing the guy for real. He is real…right?

Cruel Seas by sourassin (Ed/Stede/Izzy)

Edward doesn't realise how much Izzy has changed until they're faced with his younger self. Unfortunately, Izzy himself knows exactly why he's changed.

Love is a Battlefield by conjurewithlies (Ed/Stede/Izzy)

Izzy's not sure where the curse came from. It's been nearly four months of life on the wing, tiny body angled to catch the air currents that ebb and flow around the Revenge, glossy blue-black and white feathers replacing his leathers...

A Splash of Red by lucelafonde (Ed/Izzy)

Ed spends half his life hiding who he is. That is, until Izzy and his daemon Baz turn his whole world upside down (and Bimp happens).

Forte by Roberta Seaport (Izzy/Lucius)

"That a wooden shark in your pocket, twatty?" Izzy asks, softly taunting...

live long enough by shiphitsthefan (Izzy/Lucius)

Izzy's only option for survival is both his and Earth's greatest enemy. Maybe that's not such a bad thing.

His Look by house_afire (Izzy & Wee John)

Wee John helps Izzy with his makeup.

plushiegirl replied to your post “so i’ve never had indian food and i kind of want to try it but i...”

Do you like tomato based sauce? Tikka masala is a mild, usually chicken dish with rice, it's one of my favorites. Or mild curry is good too, if you're not accustomed to Indian spices

apeacebone replied to your post “so i’ve never had indian food and i kind of want to try it but i...”

It's all delicious, for starters. I like tikka masala (tomato and cream sauce, "masala" being a word for a common spice blend), vindaloo tends to be a very spicy dish, and mango or other fruit sauces tend to be really good. Paneer, an Indian style cheese, is amazing--very thick and chewy but not hard, like if you had ricotta but with almost no moisture, usually grilled and marinated.

You should definitely order naan (flat but leavened bread, super soft and good) with your dish, and rice if it doesn't come with it. Gotta soak up as much of that delicious sauce as possible.

sourassin replied to your post “so i’ve never had indian food and i kind of want to try it but i...”

If you can, find somewhere that does thali - lots of small dishes to try. I'd go vegetarian, too: dhal (usually lentils) is lovely; mattar paneer (peas and Indian cheese in a tomato sauce) - both are relatively easy to make if you're cooking yourself. If you are cooking it yourself, try Madhur Jaffrey's recipes - I've found them really accessible. (But it's easier to cook once you know what to expect, taste wise). Hope you enjoy it!

mum-feather replied to your post: so i’ve never had indian food and i kind of want...

Definitely get some naan. Naan is the absolute best. If you’re a fan of spinach-based things, try saag, too! Chicken saag/Basmati rice/Naan is a great combo.

THANK YOU ALL FOR THIS ADVICE ON TRYING INDIAN FOOD FOR THE FIRST TIME

i decided nothing ventured, nothing gained, and ordered some - i just went with basic curry, since i am a small and fearful creature, and it was nice! considering i was afraid of not liking it at all and just having this food i was never gonna finish in my house, i am more than okay with nice. the naan was, as stated, wonderful, and i also had some samosas? (which, gun to my head, i would have told you was a type of drink until today. i have no idea why. i can only assume i saw a reference to “having samosas” and assumed.) ANYHOW: FUCKING EXCELLENT? i love samosas?? and since i have a massive fucking sweet tooth, i also got some gulab jamun, which is also good, but i think might be one of those foods i can’t eat because the texture bothers me.

ANYHOW AN OVERALL GOOD EXPERIENCE THAT I WILL CERTAINLY BE TRYING AGAIN.

#I have been _saying#also they make much more sense if you assume Ethan is completely off his rocker (via @sourassin)

No you're absolutely correct, and the thing is that I think the movies agree with you.

Every time we meet a new person at IMF—be they bosses, fellow agents, or underlings—everyone has heard of Ethan. And yes it's probably a somewhat small organization (certainly smaller than the CIA or Secret Service etc) but it's not so small that you just know everybody. And in an organization known for covert ops, suicide missions, and their co-workers semi-regularly turning to the Dark Side, the fact that Ethan is infamous as "that motherfucker who inchwormed his way up the fucking Burj Khalifa and then cliff dove back inside said Burj Khalifa" really tells you all you need to know about how completely batshit unafraid this man is of death or concussions.

We're meant to side with Benji and Jane and Will and Ilsa and Luther when they stare at Ethan, slack-jawed, as he jumps into lava pits or whatever. We are supposed to think Ethan's badass, sure; but we're also supposed to think "oh my god why are you like this dude."

zorilleerrant replied to your post “Plague Tapestry”

Not sure on the imagery, but the little scenes looking pastoral at first but having a grimmer meaning may be inspired by memorial quilts and memorial murals, which you've probably seen a lot of - each artist quilts or paints a section, often clearly delineated but thematically connected. The imagery itself reminds me of some fake children's book but I can't think of what, Bosch inspired probably

I don’t think I’ve seen a ton of memorial quilts, other than the AIDS quilt which I was exposed to quite a lot growing up in San Francisco -- memorial murals I probably have but can’t think of any off the top of my head. But there has been a lot of pastoral embroidery on my dash lately...

sourassin replied to your post “Plague Tapestry”

Okay, either I have seen something like this recently, or you just set off an intense moment of deja vu. Not the tapestry element, but the grim reaper and the slogan ��

I mean, it’s pretty much the ironic spirit of the age :D But if it is out there somewhere I’d like to see it. 

justalurkr replied to your post “Plague Tapestry”

Sounds fascinating. Sir Pterry would approve, I think.

Ahahaha, now I’m reminded of the shirt i owned as a teen which was Death captioned I COULD JUST MURDER A CURRY. 

spyderqueen replied to your post “Plague Tapestry”

Okay that's eerie but also I would love to see it it sounds super fascinating. Dream art is so delightfully bizarre.

Honestly if I had the ability or skill I would try drawing it. I might give the cat-death image a try anyway.

[kaelleid]

Creature fics are a weakness of mine, and I also have an obsession with curating my fic bookmark collection, so let me put both of those to use! Here's a selection of some of the completed Izzy creature fic I've read, in no particular order.

SIREN IZZY

where you cannot breath by kaelleid (*coughs* me)

There's a scar at his throat, under the swallow tattoo. An almost surgical incision made by a weathered old pirate captain with cotton in his ears, who'd thought that he could tame a siren. Even though that captain ends up at the bottom of the ocean, Izzy still finds himself tamed.

open up my lungs (take the cotton out of your ears) by littleratmeelo

And every fucking moment and every single fucking song not sung had led Izzy to here, to coughing on the ground, to a horrible rasp eking it’s way out of his throat and he grabbed the base of it, the red hot burn scar pushing against his fingers and he had begged please just kill me but they held him down with ears stuffed and smiles wide...

you got fins to the left, fins to the right (and you're the only bait in town) by bxtchbabyhands

Stede finds out what Blackbeard's secret weapon is. Hint: it's Izzy.

The True Tale of the Monster by Snits

Ed brings a piano aboard from a raid, gets Izzy to sing, and things go terribly after that.

Sweet Compulsion by sourassin

Someone’s singing aboard the Revenge, and the crew are determined to find out who. It’s probably not sirens. It’s definitely not Izzy Hands.

SELKIE IZZY

Caught in Their Net by piratejamming

Stede Bonnet gets caught up in the fishing nets of the Queene Anne and is pulled aboard. He attacks his captor, Captain Edward Teach, before he realizes the man means him no hard. Parsing through the puzzle that is Ed's relationship with his selkie first mate is intriguing enough that Stede wants to stick around to get to know them better.

Above All Else is Loyalty by Ms_Mhari

He started to shake. It wasn’t here. The one thing he could never Ever afford to lose and it was nowhere in the tiny, dark, closet of a room he’d managed to let. This had been his last hope for finding it safe. He collapsed into a heap on the floor, head in his hands.

Transformation by Anonymous

As a child, Ed finds Izzy's selkie skin on a beach. Years later, Izzy gives him his skin for safekeeping. Years later, Izzy asks for it back.

VAMPIRE IZZY

vampires will never hurt you by oopshidaisy

“If I fucking kill you,” Izzy muttered as he changed lanes, driving towards the off-ramp, “it’s your own fucking fault.”

what's in a name? by ChangeTheCircumstances

Izzy thinks he's getting lazy when a human unexpectedly sneaks up on him while he's feeding. One bite later and he quickly realizes the stranger is decidedly not human.

inebriants and deviants by shatteredhourglass

"I think there might be something wrong with Izzy," Stede says hesitantly.

Friend of the Devil by killerweasel

Izzy finds his way back to Jack after being turned.

Captain’s little Monster by Iamnotthewriteryourelookingfor

Izzy is so hungry, Ed hasn’t allowed him to feed in so long. He’s sure he’s going to die soon.

This Mess that Devoured Me by VirginalSapphistry

The mutiny against Captain Hands was successful. After Stede returns, Ed goes back for him.

WEREWOLF IZZY

Revelations by Moonlight by piratejamming

Ed and Izzy were spending the night together on an island during the full moon. While ordinarily Stede would approve of such a thing, the howling he kept hearing coming from the forest made him wary. Setting off to help his boyfriend and their almost boyfriend from the wild animal, he encountered a bit more than he bargained for.

Of Monsters and Men by Jockles

Just when Izzy thinks he's got this werewolf thing figured out, he discovers its all different aboard The Revenge.

Your Taste on My Lips by killerweasel

Werewolf Izzy accidentally bites Lucius during sex. Cue some freaking out.

DEMON/SUCCUBUS IZZY

For Want of You by iamtheyellowbox

Jack grins as he lays eyes on Izzy Hands for the first time in nearly a decade.

Dream a Little Dream by iamtheyellowbox

He was careful now, feeding mostly through the dreams of strangers when their ship drew close enough to port or, better still, hiring whores and feasting in the physical realm. That way was best, and kept him fed the longest. But it also had its dangers. If anyone so much as suspected what he was, his life was forfeit.

Faint Shafts Of Light by Trick

No one would ever ask Izzy Hands if it hurt when he fell from Heaven. Not even Lucius, though he does find the older man incredibly attractive. But yes, it did hurt - though it's a bit more complicated than that.

UNDEAD/GHOST IZZY

A Body Could Not Be Laid to Rest by DangerSlut

His heart started to slow. He could feel every beat getting farther and farther apart the longer they stayed on that poor excuse of a pirate ship. The space in between beats starts to hurt. A small seed of rot taking root in his chest, growing stronger in that dead time between the sluggish, unnecessary beats of his cold heart.

Hachikō by bananatole & bongbingbong

The land and the sky and sea are eternal, and so too is Izzy Hands.

put your arm 'round my collarbone (clean up the blood) by apricotzel

It's Izzy job to always return to Edward's side, no matter what he has to go through. Death isn't any exception, really.

for years or for hours by dinoromance89

Izzy feels nothing, as you do when you’re dead. That is, until agony starts ripping at his disintegrating corpse - the pull of his Captain. Izzy returns to Edward, but is it worth the pain?

Right Through the Heart by finefeatheredfriend

Izzy saved Stede from certain death, but now he's dealing with the consequences when The Revenge gets stranded in the Bermuda Triangle. A ghost of his former self, he has to remember what he did and what he lost before he destroys the ship and everyone on it.

WINGED IZZY

Wings by killerweasel

Lucius has seen stars while fucking. This is the first time he's seen wings.

An Ember, Glowing by Ragingstillness

Lucius reflects on how life has changed since Stede returned to the Revenge.

(only if you'd like me to) by shatteredhourglass

Thorns and feathers and memories and, unexpectedly, connections. Maybe Stede doesn't hate Izzy nearly as much as he tries to.

a view of the shore by wrizard

Out behind the house, by the garden, looking out over the sea, is Izzy's bench. On it is a familiar girl. And she's crying.

Sparrows Mate For Life by CaptainMJ

A few nosy crew members found out about a big secret Izzy has been hiding.

When the Wind Changes by SushiOwl

The crew of the Revenge raid their biggest target yet. But what they find in the hold is not at all what they expect.

Icarus by Jockles

When the Kraken clipped Izzy's wings, he knew he was going to be alright. He just had to wait until new feathers grew in. Until then, he was just glad to have his Blackbeard back. And then he fell.

ROBOT/AI IZZY

Titanium Ribs and a Carbon Heart by Light_In_Shadows

The EMP goes off with an understated pop followed by a brief and nearly-imperceptible whine, but the effect is instantaneous. The two security drones hit the ground, and so does Izzy.

Robo-tussin by anneiled

A tender, sexy (?), Steddyhands, android/AI Izzy comedy sickfic no one asked for but that I hope you will enjoy. Ft. Stizzy snark, sexy pirate engineer Ed, a cranky replicator, and former sex robot turned ship AI Izzy dealing with an unprecedented virus when they’re stuck together in a pod returning home to The Revenge.

Awakening with You by Sir_Bear

AI fic wherein Lucius finds Izzy, an abandoned starship AI, and restores him. Izzy deals with the loss of his crew, and accepting love despite the fear of losing people he cares for again.

OTHER

Sink by MuseofWriting

The British navy doesn't want you to know what lives beneath the waves. To be fair, it's not like they're prepared for it either.

the wisdom of cats by AliuIce0814

Izzy Hands knew how dangerous it was to be a cat at sea. Trusting humans meant inevitable death. Then Edward made them board the Revenge.

downwards rushed the heavens by redshift

To save the Revenge, something must be sacrificed, something must be revealed, and something else must be confronted.

OFMD IZZY HANDS FIC WRITERS,

Give me the izzy creature fics where are you hiding them. pls I can’t find them all it’s like trying to find your missing left sock in a pile of not socks and then realizing it’s not even in that pile it’s shoved in between the washer and dryer.

I Don’t even care what he is, homebrew creature? Siren? Vampire? Ancient Cryptid horror? Cat? Fuck yes gimme. gimme it NOW.

Don’t care abt ratings or ships either and you bet I’m drawing fanart.

Actual recreation of me begging for Izzy creature fics

Dead Men Don’t Bite

An OFMD/Treasure Island crossover fic by Sourassin

“For thirty years,” he said, “I’ve sailed the seas and seen good and bad, better and worse, fair weather and foul, provisions running out, knives going, and what not. Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o’ goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don’t bite; them’s my views—amen, so be it.”

Treasure Island, Robert Louis Stevenson - Ch. 26, Israel Hands

In the year 17–, Jim Hawkins and Israel Hands clash on the deck of the Hispaniola; five years later, two gentlemen come looking for the story.
