Old Fashioned Molasses Taffy Recipe Enjoy a traditional taffy pull using this delicious vintage recipe. When I was nine years old, I used to make this! 2 cups sugar, 1 cup molasses, 2 tablespoons butter, 2 teaspoons white vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 cup water

To be Fair to Kjarl:

He's never even met Klaus- he has almost no idea how narratively inevitable that man is (this is probably a new way of saying 'hard to kill' even for Klaus!)

Who's the 3rd Seeclair Sister? Have u ever thought abt her design?

I don’t think I ever intended to have a third one? It’s just Laffy and Taffy! Sorry if their bios seemed to hint at a third!- I never thought it would it’s actually just the two of them!

But that gives me an idea….

Bones Renaissance AU Starter Kit: Character Roles

Brennan: Orphaned child of a university scholar, she was permitted to remain, slightly feral, on campus (ala Lyra at Oxford but with a lot more reading), alternatively loved, ignored, and actively mistreated. She mostly spent her time hiding in the library, reading anything she could get her hands on, especially on anatomical topics. Growing up in the company of old scholars, she ends up an incredibly well-educated, poorly socialized, rather self-important woman. She rarely leaves campus, has viewed the students as below her since she was a child, and the citizenry are even below them. While not recognized as a scholar and often actively dismissed, people in-the-know know that she's a fantastic resource (if you can stand her/if she will tolerate you).

Goodman: One of the senior scholars who doted on Brennan and encouraged her reading. Tried to keep her out of trouble as he could, and especially discouraging any male interest in the young lady. They bonded strongly over reading together.

Zach: The one student Brennan feels is worthy of her time. He is also a library goblin like her, and wants to be just like her. She is directing his study of the texts they have, the acquisition of new material, and the publishing of new scholarship.

Michael Stires: Still a piece of shit. Traveling scholar who arrived at the university to teach. Contrary to tradition, he invites a young Brennan to his lectures and eventually private lessons. She is delighted and takes to the scholarship with her usual verve and is oblivious to the sexual undertones. Goodman, on the other hand, is very aware and does not approve, tries to intervene. When Stires propositions her, she is academically curious on the matter and agrees. What she emotionally feels about the situation, and its inevitable disastrous fallout, is a topic yet to be investigated. He implies he will marry her and thus give her actual standing, status, and a permanent home. Yet, before anything can even be planned, he's moved on to a different paramour.

Hodgins: Local eccentric scholar who definitely isn't nobility (wink). He has traveled the continent to better his knowledge and expand his experiences, and is glad to have a spacious office where no one asks anything of him. While he has studied at a variety of universities, he's happiest here because maybe, possibly, his family holdings are conveniently nearby. Zach is intrigued by his experiences and wants to follow in his footsteps... probably, someday. Their shared study hall is just so comfortable and leaving home feels too challenging.

Angela: A Florentine cortigiane oneste:

The cortigiane oneste were usually well-educated and worldly (sometimes even more so than the average upper-class woman), and often held simultaneous careers as performers or artists. They were typically chosen on the basis of their "breeding"—social and conversational skills, intelligence, common sense, and companionship—as well as their physical attributes. It was usually their wit and personality that set them apart from regular women. Sex constituted only a facet of the courtesan's array of services. For example, they were well-dressed and ready to engage and participate in a variety of topics ranging from art to music to politics.

When she met Hodgins, she was deeply unimpressed. He tried flaunting his money, she had no interest. He tried his wit, his knowledge, his possessions, but still she had no interest. It became a game between them, where he would travel the continent to return with an exotic fruit or flower, only for her to turn him down (though each time her smile grew fonder, the laughter in her eyes sparkling). Eventually, he presented her with a perfect little violet, plucked from ground just outside the palace. Only then did she agree to come traveling with him. They have a lot of fun together.

When Brennan is jilted by Michael, it's Angela that insists they take her in at the Hodgins Estate. Angela uses all means she has to get Michael expelled back to where ever it is he came from with his reputation in tatters. She knows people, you know.

and of course, the boys: I'm of many minds (or just different stories) if we choose to translate the FBI as the sheriff/constable (more like cops) or perhaps royal (ie, federal) guards or attendants. There's a class thing going on, where it doesn't seem quite right to make Booth a Knight/member of the nobility or gentry. He's an esteemed successful soldier, which puts him more in the realm of the Yeoman. Yeoman also has the bonus connection with longbow archery, which matches our sniperboy. The Yeoman of the Guard are royal bodyguards who could be tasked with specific missions, like say, perhaps, solving a prominent murder!

so we have

Booth: Is pretty much Booth. Working class improving his station through exemplary military service. Serves the Royal Court and Queen (fuck it, let's just say this is Liz I's reign) as an analogue to federal service. Is good at people, hates the rich, has absolutely no connection to the university and doesn't know what to make of those people.

Aubrey and Sweets: Come as a pair, they gay, come at me. Drive Booth insane. While Booth climbed socially to get to his position, both of these guys come from more money and status than him. Booth is their commander but they often are the ones navigating court politics for him, especially Sweets. Aubrey comes more from the military side, while Sweets is a city boy.

Caldera (on left) and Deci (on right) are the same person, just alive and dead. I wanted to do some physical comparison between them. She/her for both Caldera when she's alive and Deci when she's dead.

More info below

Height: Caldera has bad posture and stands shorter than 5'5 when hunched VS Deci who is stretched like taffy. Deci can be anywhere from 6 to 7 feet and usually floats.

Eyes: Caldera has bad insomnia and has noticeable eye bags VS Deci's eyes are wide and she doesn't blink. (the second of Caldera's eyes there is the color pallet her eyes get after a demon deal)

Expression: Caldera is usually tense and easily disgusted and annoyed VS Deci got rid of all emotional facial expression. Reading faces sucked during life so now no one gets to read hers. (when Deci isn't centered her face/body get more abstract with anger or mania)

Hands: Caldera struggled with nail picking (Onychotillomania) all her life. It eventually evolved into general ocd about having nails. Attempts have been made to cut them out completely. VS Deci has no nails whatsoever and no toes at all. Deci's hands are also elongated and spidery to match her new look.

Chest: Caldera has tits. Deci got rid of them. (indulgent on my part heheheh. autism sensory nightmare both Caldera and I shared..)

Clothes: Caldera would wear one pair of clothes out completely before having to buy another. Picking out clothes was a annoying. VS Deci's default form is both nude and clothed at once. Convenient.

Caldera was a miserable genius when she was alive, in death Deci is free from society and anxiety. Deci thinks all humans are trapped in their gross flesh bodies with things they don't need. Since she's smart she knows this better than most people and will kill and/or lobotomize others to help them. Smart ones turn into ghosts like her. Ones that pass on should still be grateful.

She is a fun villain to have around other mentally ill characters.
