[citrlet]

reading random bits of my story and being genuinely surprised how happy i am with them??

#today feels like a day to disconnect from reality and escape in fiction #i randomly scrolled to a page in my fave fic and i was like?? wow its actually still good? #my favorite thing to do when i dont want to write new stuff but still want to write is just go back and re edit from the beginning #i couldnt tell you how many times ive rewritten my fics haha #i can definitely see some changes needed when i was scrolling but im impressed with my past self 😆 #i got a little bit stuck editing the beginning since i had a major rewrite idea but im excited to keep going!! gonna be rainy this weekend #prime time to work on a gotham set fic

[cheswirls]

looking @ old fic i started when i was 14/15 is so funny bc im realizing once again why i never mark fics as abandoned even if its been literal years since i've touched them. specifically i was checking docs for stuff i started and either did or didn't post to ffn.

and its like. nothing is bad??? like i can see where my outside-the-box ideal of fic writing comes from. not just fics but writing in general, i'm p sure. even if it's a total cliche plot setup, there are details on each that rly make it stand out like oh yeahhhhhh i did have this great idea once upon a time.

funny too bc was it executed well in prose??? no absolutely not i wrote like shit when i was 15. would i revive an idea one day and revise it to be less cliche or cringy while still keeping the stand-out elements??? yea maybe. i might. everything i'm currently working on that i started from 2021 up to now still holds my supreme interest, but like i'm not gonna say never.

esp since i write fic first and foremost for my own need and specifically what i like to read, it makes it impossible to consider an idea i've thought extensively about "not worth writing anymore". anyway not making this too long i jus found everything interesting to consider

#writing #this fic i pulled up from JUNE 2014 crazy was the old chosenshi au i was trying to write for a friend #i dont ship blue/silver and never will and thats prolly why i never finished it #but i do still like!! the idea of rocket!blue raised w silver and breaking free of tr while running the hoenn branch #no idea how i remembered bc it wasnt in the plot pts on the doc but she was gonna get sent to the battle frontier #to nab jirachi and have encounters w frontier brains and change her mind at the end of it all #hell i could go back and not make it ship fic at all - have silver be a little one-sided obsessed or #even jus like.. attached to blue as a rivalry like as a way to show her up at every turn #another fic around the same time was the old pokespe hs au where i changed all the dexholder's names for some reason #i have no idea where i was in reading spe bc i put lyra in for some reason and had the sinnoh trio even tho i never read past v2 of dp #idk if it was more gameverse or what but its so funny looking @ the ship list n seeing i had gold paired w black #bc i had manga!ss and manga!ferriswheel so was it rly speverse or was i projecting???? #actually i think black was supposed to die and gold was gonna go thru this whole thing abt grieving #looking at the ship list so funny bc i never shipped gold/crys or entourageshi #and clearly i did not know the superiority of pmshi if i threw lyra in jus for silver #god but i do love (most!) of the alt names i gave them #would absolutely fuck up the ship list if i ever redid it tho #also have perfectworld tho im sure i have the most recent rewrite on pen and paper somewhere #that one i also gave up bc the idea i had for flare!sycamore was cringe along with #every time i went back to work on it enough time passed that i thought my writing sucked #i rewrote that damn thing so many times but oooooooo i still love the idea #as long as i changed the cringe parts to smth better i could still rock w most of these #that fic rly had everything... psychic!korrina. leaf/serena. sycamore hacking the secret to mega evo. lys/syc that ends in failure #bc of the ending line i will never forget > only in a perfect world could you and i be together. destined and doomed from the start #im rambling n im boutta run outta tags gimme a sec

Does mapleshade still follow Crookedstar in this? What if her purpose doing that is to make sure riverclan never rejects a half-clan kit again (that’s why he doesn’t question Misty and stone and another reason for wanting his grandkits in riverclan)

I'm passionate about the idea that people are heavily influenced by their circumstances. It's much easier to be a good person when you have loving guidance and the environment to be your best self. Likewise, pain and suffering can bring out the worst even in the kindest, most selfless people.

And in both of the AUs I have for Mapleshade, she is not a particularly nice person to begin with. But being StarClan's best prosecutor allows the positive aspects of her personality to shine. So to answer your question:

"Does Mapleshade still follow Crookedstar?"

#Bonefall Rewrite

In the current version of my rewrite, Mapleshade is condemned to the Dark Forest for 3 counts of murder. She takes the ruling with pride and confidence, playing to the sympathetic crowd by chasing the other damned souls into the Dark Forest.

In truth she's just as spiteful as she was in life, and now she's alone with no friends or family, bored, in Hell, and uses all that spare time to haunt Appledusk's lineage, and basically everyone associated with her death (Perchpaw/shine as well).

So, it's really not for a constructive reason that she follows Stormkit. She pushed him off the stone to kill him and only broke his jaw. She notices that Rainflower has a spiteful, awful view of her son, and decides that it would cause even more suffering to keep Stormkit alive. She kills some more kits so he'll have a foster to suckle him, just to watch them make each other miserable.

(rewrite recap: Rainflower is now the Appledusk descendant. Stormkit is not getting a cruel renaming, Crookedjaw is an honor title.)

Crookedstar follows Darkstar's commandment, the Queen's Rights, because he is a good, proud leader who abides by the traditions of his predecessors. That's all. Mapleshade doesn't need to bully him into 'clan loyalty' or anything, her haunting is much more actively malevolent than canon.

#Better Call Mapleshade AU

In StarClan, Mapleshade is with her kits. Her wonderful, sweet children-- they are an excellent influence. She's still ruthless and vengeful, of course, but she lives for the contrary position she can hold up to StarClan

A LOT of her motivation stems from that. From knowing that StarClan would otherwise let people in who shouldn't be there (hypocritical? Yes) and she takes this duty very seriously.

The BCM AU shares some aspects of the Bonefall Rewrite, but here, I think it's very similar to canon. Mapleshade watches Rainflower emotionally abuse an innocent kitten, and she KNOWS that Rainflower would just get into StarClan without any intervention (the way she did in canon). Mapleshade needs more evidence to condemn her-- and she will create scenarios to get what she needs.

On one paw this IS born out of righteous fury. She IS thinking of her own kits, you might agree that Rainflower deserved the Dark Forest, and Mapleshade won't FORCE Rainflower to do anything she wouldn't already do. She will test her, that's all.

But to test her? She is going to use Crookedkit. This WILL cause a lot more pain to him than if she just left it all alone and let Rainflower get into StarClan. She encourages him into positions of power to prove himself, she lets this young cat think that his value is tied to what his abusive mother thinks of him.

Because the more pain he displays, the further the lengths he goes to in service of appeasing Rainflower, the more Mapleshade can use as ammo to get her damned.

Mapleshade always serves her own interests first and foremost, not those of the greater good.

#I typed out ''not those of the greater food'' by accident and FELLAS I am hungry #I want salmon so bad guys #I want a teriyaki/soy marinade with a little bit of citrus. Just a splash #Only I could get through a deep character analysis like this and come out only thinking about food #But consider; food is so delicious. you cannot blame me #Mapleshade #Rainflower #Crookedstar #Better Call Mapleshade AU #Bonefall Rewrite #Anyway like I want Mapleshade to still always be a baddie #I love her too much #EVIL women can have my heart and several other organs #im thinking about fish again #I once worked on the worldbuilding for an rp and we made a tradition based on the Mapleshade incident that you'd take-- #--trout and glaze it with maple syrup and then applewood smoke it for parents expecting a litter #I guess Mapleshade is just gonna make me crave fish for the rest of my miserable life #i should make some warrior cat inspired recipes someday #Or just some general dish ideas #new ask game LOL give me something ur clan eats and ill make a recipe for u #god im hungry #Maybe I should go eat lunch #warrior cats

I got misgendered at the gas station the other day despite a full beard and also had extended family over which always just feels weird bc all those people saw me grow up pre-transition and they're always so consistently bewildered that our gift game isn't super separated by "mens stuff vs womens stuff" as much anymore and i can just feel the way they're confused (/put off??) by me in general and i've been very exasperated by my chest for months bc my binder is old and sucks and i have one of them and also I'm at the point where I'm pretty Over wearing my binder so the rare times i do leave the house I haven't bothered, which is way more physically comfortable but terrible for how self-conscious I feel when out in public and i ouuuuughhh

that massive runon ramble was basically just to say Bad Gender Feels. :<

#i still feel great about my hysto! feels so damn good! #but thats more internal so sadly this other stuff still happens and affects my dysphoria a lot #txt #sorry this probably makes no sense but i dont feel like doing my silly little check-and-rewrite-3-times thing #im so tired but i also feel like im gonna boil over. sorry y'all

( So ! I have finished the main story of the event. Very fun, as always for a Gudaguda event

and have come to definitive conclusion

I'm adopting this gremlin into the muse army )

#Mysterious Ranmaru X welcome to the gang #im gonna be rewriting their backstory to be canon divergent #because its a little TOO nuts even for fate lol #but they'll still be an alien dw thats too amusing not to work with #they'll also get a modern verse where that will be taken out tho i have ideas for it already #New Update ( PSA )

[perenlop]

thinking abt mlp future au and man i want to put starlight and trixie together bc in concept its such a good pairing but in execution....

#hrm. it isnt great #i do want starlight in there but considering sunset takes her spot on the main cast for the most part shes gonna get a lot of rewriting #shes still gonna get redeemed but she'll have a different backstory and a different redemption arc and she'll still struggle and relapse #like she does in the show but she'll actually like improve on it and stuff. and when she does hurt trixie she'll actually learn from part 1 #and stop doing that and learn on her own #like. man i dont blame people for not liking her. i dont really care for her as she is in canon bc i think shes badly handled #but i still wanna do stuff with her #i wanna give her and trixie a kid but theyll be wayyyyy younger than most bc starlight waited til she was in a good place #to have a position of power over a child in that way #echoed voice #idk i just. im put off by some fanon portrayals of her ive seen #that are A Little Much

Welcome back to tumblr! Hope you enjoyed your break

It was very stressful. Ended up failing the marking period for English, but not by as much as I was failing before. Could still pull up the overall grade by the end of the semester.

#started writing a fic a few days ago. been a while since ive done that. #so far felix is very out of character but he's only gonna be the focus for the first chapter. plus i might go back and rewrite him. #maybe i should wait until the new chapter comes out tho so it's relevant to updated canon #anyway echos started brainrotting about chris in a /pos way so yeah a lot of my break has been rethinking old analysis #started to notice that he's a lot more fun if i get in the mindset that he's not poorly written he's just literally isaac's antagonist #also my siblings have been hyperfixating on DC so i watched a batman series. i think they're very disappointed in me for choosing batwheels. #snowy best vehicle #. what else #oh ive been doodling a nightmare design #been liking the idea of him and dream not being skeletons but dont wanna draw/write them as their canon human designs #because (if i'm correct) they get those designs at some point later in the story. and i don't want to confuse the timeline like that. #so ive been working on concept sketches for a less human design for them. ive also noticed that them being humans in canon actually #makes a lot of sense because the other guardians don't really have any connection between their species and it can be assumed that #whatever they are exists in the universes/multiverse they're from. so it makes sense for the twins to be humans because the utmv has humans. #. but i also like how they couldn't be given the human forms at first because of the lack of holes. #so the design im working on has gill/stripe-looking vents for the energy to come out of. #also gonna try to add little fire wisps into the design because i love their true forms so much #anyway i dont think there's been more that ive done. other than schoolwork. and watching qsmp. #oh i started working on an animatic. but i do that all the time. it'll be a bigger occasion if i finish one lol. #think im gonna still keep interaction on tumblr to a smaller scale because i wanna keep getting stuff done

Slams messy (and smudged) sketchbook art on table.

I have no explanation for these except

1. I have been and still am rotating a (self-indulgent) rewrite for MLB in my mind 2. These drawings vaguely relate to that rewrite 3. (Vague Noises)

I have no idea what time these things were drawn— excluding the last five since I drew those today—because I am that artist that does not date their sketchbook (oops).

#what if I make Manon obsess over show characters #my art #I like drawing Felix as gnc in gnc clothing a whole lot (if that wasnt obvious/j) #in regards to that little blurb of i did infact make little doodles of those characters #which is fun #As said above this rewrite is all for giggles for me. very self indulgent and if it's seen as dumb then 🤷 #this rewrite chews on canon. spits it out. then proceeds to look the other way since ive onmt watched up to season 2 and ive barely watched #any episodes from those 2 seasons #so.. #((anyway)) #in my previous old art that 'little' infodump is still canon (or most of it is anyways) so i might remake it #as you can see. i cannot stick to one last name for Felix at all #we have gone from Culpa to Sphinx to Monet to Sphinx to Culpa to Finch to Agreste and now hav safely landed at '???' #rn im not sure what to go for since im deciding if i want Gabriel Agreste and/or Richard Sphinx to be apart of his rewrite #the same goes for Adrien and Nathan. Rn I dont want Gabriel(? or Richard) to be the father of Felix. but i might change that idk #will he have family problems? will he not? is he gonna be related to Gab/Richard? Will he be some guy?its like picking a paper from a hat #except the hat has a hole #its amazing when you can create the stories you want to see in the world.. except when *you* have to create them #anyway. watch this diverge from canon so hard #marinette dupain cheng #marinette cheng #felix culpa #felix sphinx #miraculous ladybug #mlb #miraculous ladybug tales of ladybug and chat noir #mlb au #gabriel agreste #manon chamack #mlb ladybug

I love writing because I can have a character yelling at the others “Fuck your papayas!” and have it be a serious turning point in their arc

#anyways my main guy is with jungles as keith windham is with mountains #this mother fucker hates papaya and it STARTED as a gag #but now the papayas play an important role #kinda #my guy is just having a meltdown in the middle of a jungle and goes OFF on an anti-papaya monologue #love that for him #im fixing his mental health by breaking it down #the other two characters are watching him with varying levels of concern #’oh god something is broken that I can’t fix’ and ‘you INSULT my papaya tree???’ #anyways they all have issues but I like beating up on this one guy most of all #I’m gonna come back to rewrite this scene it’s still rough but I got the major beats down #the shapes are there just gotta sharpen them #I may cut the FUCK your papayas line but honestly it’s making me laugh in an otherwise horrible scene #(emotionally horrible - at least I HOPE) #anyways #writing #weeee! #he’s an angry little man #he’s an academic #hes horrible #i love him #‘fuck your papayas’ is 100% something I would say and may have done rip

12:17 — few years later | 🛬❤️‍🩹🎇 iwaizumi h.

“you’ll be there, right? right? right?!”

if it’s anotamically possible to cut your ear off without passing out because of oikawa’s incessant nagging, you would’ve done it the first few seconds he begged you to accept kuroo’s reunion dinner invite before the all-star game. you were seijoh’s babysitter manager after all so, according to kuroo, it’s just right you’re there, in which you only replied with a i’ll think about it.

“haji’s gonna be there.” oikawa says in his annoying singsong voice and you swear you could hear his smirk right through your phone.

you bite your lip as if oikawa could see you blushing and smiling through the call. after years of graduating from high school, you wouldn’t have thought just hearing his name will elicit the same effect on you.

“and?” you reply nonchalantly because you would rather crawl under the earth and bury yourself alive than let oikawa confirm your cutesy, little high school crush on iwaizumi never really went away.

oikawa being your best friend saw through your reply and snorted, “pft, if i know you’ve been looking at his instagram every night before you sleep just because you’re too much of a scaredy cat to hit him up. don’t act as if you don’t zoom in on his shirtless pi—“

“oh my god, fine! i’ll go to this freaking dinner so please for the love god shut the hell up! ” you exasperatedly sigh wanting to tolerate oikawa’s teasing no longer not because it’s untrue but because you felt like you were caught committing a crime. it’s a curse and a gift you have a best friend that knows everything about you.

you hear oikawa shriek through your phone in celebration and about being there at 6, so you mutter a good bye before he lays out a plan that involves dragging you wherever into the night.

as if on cue, your phone lights up with a notification from your old group chat when the call ended,

✉️ t. oikawa: see you all on saturday!!!! no backsies!!!!!! :p

you roll your eyes knowing he’s talking about you. you were about to hit send on a message something about being him still being an annoying ass when another bubble popped in your screen that made you rewrite everything you were about to say.

✉️ h. iwaizumi: im back too 🇯🇵 see you guys :)

✉️ you: i’ll be there ☺️

come saturday, you’re standing in front of the restaurant which every nook and cranny you’re familiar with as this was a popular go-to after-school-dinner-place during your younger years with the team. you try your best not to look frantic while you check your phone at least every 10 seconds to tell oikawa “wru >:(”

you were about to hit the call button when you hear somebody clear their throat. as a reaction, you step away from where you were standing thinking you were probably blocking the entryway.

“sorry i was just w— oh. haji?” you take these few seconds to take him in—the way his shirt hugged his biceps, the watch that also somehow added to his attractiveness, his skin that’s more tanned, his freshly cut hair, and his smile. god, that smile. so many things have changed about him since he last visited home but his kind, subtly giddy smile still reached his eyes.

“been awhile, hasn’t it?” iwaizumi sheepishly say and you hold back a gasp when he scratches the back of his head that flexed his arm.

“it’s been.. yeah? yeah, it has. i mean. yes..” you nervously laugh, mentally kicking yourself for tripping over your words.

you feel your cheeks redden, not from the cold air of the darkening day but because of the manly, handsome laugh that bubbles from iwa’s chest. “watcha doin’ out here, though? waiting for a someone or..” he drags his sentence hoping you don’t hear his silent prayer that you are romantically available.

you snort before you could even think about it, “no, c’mon it’s not like that.” you laugh and went on to tell the tale of oikawa begging you to come, “i’m waiting for that idiot tooru who went several measures to make sure i’m here.”

“you two were thick as thieves, weren’t ya? i’m glad you stayed in touch even if that shithead went abroad.” iwaizumi smiles and you can’t resist staring at how he threw his head back when he laughed at oikawa’s typical antics.

“wish we did too, y’know. i missed ya.” iwaizumi suddenly confesses, “i just found myself wanting to talk to you when i was out there.”

to say your heart felt like it dropped on your feet was an understatement. it’s like everything froze—the leaves halted midair, the world went silent and the only sound you could hear was the loud thump of your heart. all what you manage to let out is, “o-oh? you did? really?”

iwaizumi looks at you like you just asked the most ridiculous question, “‘course i did. we talked every day then! remember how i used to walk you home after our trainings then stop by that dang old ramen place that was there since forever? missed hanging ‘round with you and the team ‘tis all.”

you smile as you look at the ground, shyly but fondly recollecting all the simple but sweetest moments with iwaizumi you cherish so much. with his sudden reminiscing, you recall the sort-of debate you had with him because he kept on insisting he should always walk you home.

“r-right. the team. yeah, i missed them too.” you say as you shake your head along with the thought of having a chance of romance with your longtime friend.

“we should go inside. fuck that tardy tooru i think a lot’s of them here.” you casually laugh and walk towards the door until you felt a hand on your wrist.

iwaizumi shoots you a grin, “what do you say the two of us go grab that ramen? for old time’s sake?”

a/n: so .. uh … im back ! hope everyone’s still here 😅🫣 anw this was supposed to be just a drabble but i got a lil carried away & im alr thinking of writing a pt 2 .. wdyt hehe

Hi friends! Just a day after this years Yule and a few days out from Christmas, regardless of what you celebrate during this winter months, we're gonna be cooking a tangy tango between two traditional english staples-

Yule Plum Pudding and Wassail from Lord of the Rings Online!

(You can find the cooking instructions and full ingredient list under the break-)

MY NAMES CROSS NOW LETS COOK LIKE ANIMALS

SO, “what goes in to this Yule Plum Pudding?” YOU MAY ASKPlum Pudding is not a "pudding" as us americans think of it; its closer to a fruitcake but less shit.

Cranberries

White raisins

Macerated prunes (in brandy)

Chopped candied peel

Blanched almonds

All-purpose flour

Cinnamon

Nutmeg

Cloves

Sugar

Breadcrumbs

Lemon zest

Unsalted butter

Eggs

Whole milk

Half a bottle of brandy

It also doesnt contain any capital-P plums! it actually does contain plums im so fucking stupid i never connected the dots that prunes were dried plums oh my god. But they still ued any dried fruit, and "Plum" here is just referring to any dried fruit. And what about the birth of todays wassail?

4 cooking apples

2 pears

Brown sugar

Cinnamon sticks

2 lemons

A bottle of sherry

The other half bottle of brandy

Wassail is very similar to apple cider drank in the fall, with a few differences like the addition of pears and different alcohol source. It was commonly drank while "wassailing" which was a Yuletide predecessor to christmas carolling. People would go door-to-door with a big bowl of wassail, play music, and give well wishes- offering drinks from the wassail in return for small gifts!

AND, “what does Yule Plum Pudding and Wassail taste like?” YOU MIGHT ASK

The puddings like a fruitcake but if a fruit cake tasted good and wasnt a brick

Its thick and rich, and somehow actually tastes like plum despite that not being intended or making sense

I love the macerated prunes so much. Juicy berries to forage for. Enrichment

The icings reminiscent of buttercream but more savory than sweet

The wassail is like drinking the golden edges off the clouds at sunset

Its got a little bit of the dryness from the sherry that makes your mouth water the moment you stop drinking it

You just want to keep drinking more to sate yourself

Even without eggs its surprisingly full bodied and thick

I had to make a few substitutions from traditional elements due to either being not available or too expensive, but with a little problem-solving nothing was too hard to do.

. Used a bundt cake pan instead of a pudding tin .  Suet (animal fat) was historically used for plum pudding. I couldnt find any and used butter instead . Used golden delicious apples when called for . Used concorde pears when called for . Some wassail recipes fold in egg whites before serving, to make the drink creamier. I didnt do this, but if you do, the recommendation to drink it fresh still stands (and strongly)

I gotta admit, I was nervous approaching this recipe. Not only because I didn't own and couldnt find a "pudding tin" without ordering online, or because the concept of steaming a pastry(?) feels foreign and odd, but also because of how old and storied this dish is. You always run into the issue with historical foods who date back to the times where oral history was the only history. The issue of people being combative that their recipe is the only true variant of the recipe, and all the others are mucking the whole thing up.

Its good to remember that like with most dishes, cooking is something that evolved and continues to evolve overtime. Unless someones trying to rewrite history and claim that ants on a log is a creme brule in which case you should run them over with a '98 Pontiac Sunfire.

Theres a few things I'd do differently when cooking again, like chopping the blanched almonds. They were a bit too big when left whole. And adding some amount of heavy cream to the icing? Maybe? To give it a fluffier/milkier feel? But the proces of cooking itself was very straightforward and I have no real complaints or modifications to make. When having leftovers of the pudding it did seem to "mature" and taste better and better the more days i kept it in the fridge, so thats something to keep in mind! But it tastes great a day after all the same.

I give this recipe a solid 10/10 (with 1 being food that makes one physically sick and 10 being food that gives one a lust for life again.) Happy winter everyone! Congrats to another year of staying alive!

Yule Plum Pudding Ingredients:

16oz cranberries

12oz white raisins

9oz macerated prunes

4oz chopped candied peel (any fruit)

2oz blanched, chopped almonds

4oz all-purpose flour

Measure spices with your heart (cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves)

8oz granulated sugar

8oz fresh white breadcrumbs

lemon zest (one lemon)

4oz grated unsalted butter

4 eggs

8oz whole milk

Pudding Icing Ingredients:

1½oz unsalted butter

1½oz all-purpose flour

10½oz whole milk

3oz granulated sugar

2 tablespoons brandy

Yule Plum Pudding Method:

A week before making, macerate your prunes in brandy.

Mix together all the dried fruit, peel, and almonds. Sieve flour and spices together then add to the fruit mixture along with the sugar, breadcrumbs, rind, and grated butter.

Beat eggs and then blend with 8oz of milk.

Stir the egg/milk mixture to incorporate into the dry ingredients. Add prunes, and stir some more.

Put batter into a well-buttered pudding basin, with parchment paper to cover.

Get a large pot and place a kitchen towel or something similar at the bottom- then place the pudding basin on top of the towel, inside the large pot.

Fill the outer pot with water until it’s halfway up the side, cover the pot with a lid (or foil).

Steam on the stovetop at 210f for 4-6 hours depending on size of pudding basin. If the water gets too low, add a bit more.

After steaming, uncover and allow to cool to room temperature. Do not remove it from the pudding basin! Cover with fresh parchment paper and foil and store in a cool, dry place for at least a day.

(optional) to reheat; steam for 40-80 minutes, until warmed through.

Pudding Icing Method:

Place butter in a medium saucepan with the flour, pour in the milk then whisk everything vigorously together over a medium heat.

As soon as it comes to simmering point and has thickened, turn the heat to its lowest setting, stir in the sugar, and let the sauce cook for 10 minutes.

Add the brandy and stir to mix. Keep warm until required.

Wassail Ingredients:

4 cooking apples

2 pears

Brown sugar

4 Cinammon sticks

2 lemon

1 bottle of Sherry

½ bottle of Brandy

Wassail Method:

Core the apples and pears, leave the rest intact, and set in a baking pan. Fill the hollow centers with brown sugar.

Add about an inch of water to the pan and bake at 350f for 30 minutes, or until the fruit is soft.

Move the fruit to a large pot, add a bottle of sherry, half a bottle of brandy, lemon peel, and 4 large cinnamon sticks. (Feel free to use less booze!)

Bring the pot to a simmer for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Strain before serving!

“baby…” he pouts at you just showing all of his bottom lip.

“no. i need to focus on this because you don’t do it yourself.” you continue rewriting his report to principal yaga about yuuji’s training lately. satoru never writes anything correctly so of course his beautiful wife, you, has to do it correctly for him.

“but yaga will understand… he doesn’t care!!” he starts to tug at your pants while he’s laying on his back on the floor, begging for his dear wife’s attention.

“gojo. no.” you continue to try to ignore his pleads and tugging but soon he wraps himself all around you.

“why do you always do this to me? it’s like you haven’t seen me in a week?” you say and then he looks at you like you’re stupid.

“THAS LSITERWALKY WHY IM ACHTING LIKE THIS. I HAVENT SEEN YOU IN A WEEK. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?” he yells and threw himself onto the bed.

“baby.. i’m sorry. i just got caught up in the week you were gone… and might’ve enjoyed time without you because you cling to me every second of the day…” you trail off “but i do love you. i’m sorry baby. you can’t be that mad. you make me do all your work.” you start pouring at him and he just starts at you.

“you do it yourself. i try to turn it in before you see it because it’s not to your stupid quality.” he pouts and sees you cuddling up to his chest now.

“well that’s because even if you’re the strongest, can’t you just put a little work into your reports? seriously, you just turn in a drawing of a penis saying that the training went well. absolutely no detail.” you say and cuddle into him as he wraps his arms around you. satoru then starts kissing your head, while his hands slowly go down to your butt.

“seriously..?” you deadpan and then he squeezes your butt.

“yeah. i like your butt… hehehe.”

“you’re gonna get it gojo satoru.” and that’s when satoru gets off the bed and starts running from you.
