Things Are Grim is a supernatural queer romcom about falling in love first and asking questions later. Follow Clara, local barista, as she meets the cool and somewhat delusional woman of her dreams. Could it possibly be true that the mysterious Lady Luna is actually a grim reaper...? It's hard to say, but Clara isn't about to let this real-life fairytale escape her!

For fans of: paranormal meet-cutes, chuunibyou, and deceptively innocent looking women

Is Cohost basically the same sort of thing as Tumblr? Yes. But does Tumblr let me make my posts cute by decorating them with CSS? No.

Anyway, if you're on it, follow me on Cohost. I've been sort of just generally Posting over there. I like expressing myself with CSS so it's been fun haha, it's very 'learn html tricks to make your Neopet's Pet Page look good' vibes...

#social media #cohost #also it gets bonus points for not being a twitter replacement lol #plus it's small enough and people use tags for discovery enough that it doesn't feel like shoveling stuff into an abyss when posting #people I've admired the work of for years have interacted with my posts simply because it's Chill and Fun to Browse haha #and it's owned by like Four Normal People instead of a huge corporation......#idk I just like when online spaces are Neutral and not Lawful Evil

It’s probably always my bad.

It was like 100 degrees yesterday and I was Very Tired, but I did finish my 'cream!

I made a ganache and cut it into squares super well (this is a lie and I'm lucky I didn't stab myself with the way I was trying to cut it lol), decorated my cartons (I'm bad with that sort of art so it's good practice), churned it (my roommate has a fancy ice cream machine now so I benefit :) ), then layered it with the mix-ins!

I think it turned out pretty tasty! When it was freshly churned it tasted and felt like the inside of a charred marshmallow, which was neat. Next time I'd probably toast them a little darker, but this was definitely good!

Here's uhhhh a pastebin with my finalish recipe. I have so many ice cream recipes, I should probably compile them all and make a nice booklet or something someday...

🚨 There are only 48 hours left to buy the queer games bundle. 🚨

With social media collapsing, it is now more important than ever to support indie queer art.

Full Price: https://itch.io/b/1812/

Sliding Scale: https://itch.io/b/1813/

Pride may be over but we are still here.

Given how much concern there is right now about an AI future full of bland media, I encourage everyone to really check out this year's Queer Games Bundle. Tons and tons of games (and adjacent stuff, like music or writing) for either $60 or $10 (whichever you can afford).

The Queer Games Bundle costs the same as a AAA game (well, less), but it does not deliver the same content. Instead you will find a treasure trove of deeply personal experiences and stories that could never, and will never, be told in AAA. Even if the big games industry collapses and fills itself with meaningless fluff, people will still be here making their own passion projects. Thankfully you don't have to wait for that to happen, you can embrace that future of small indie games NOW!

Making ice cream step one: realize you're out of milk and have to go to the store :(

autumnotopia

okay True Step One: toast marshmallows in the toaster😎 (wooooah! bet you didn't see THAT comin, huh?)

I wanted to get them a lil dark, but I probably wimped out too soon. Charred flavor is important for roasted marshmallows vov

autumnotopia

While those were cookin, I threw together my base. When making ice creams, usually I start with the Salt and Straw base recipe (I'm an Oregonian, what can I say).

In this case I cut in half the amount of sugar and corn syrup - I figure that's pretty much all a marshmallow is, and I'm going to be adding a bunch of those to the base so...

I appreciate that the Salt and Straw base is eggless - there's nothing wrong with an eggy cream, but I enjoy the security of never having to worry about scrambling my custard.

I also like that they use some fun Science Stuff in their recipe. Probably the most notably weird one is xanthan gum. It's a thickening agent/emulsifier that helps your ice cream weather fluctuations in temperature, which in the end means you wind up with a better texture when churned and that the ice cream lasts longer in the freezer.

Some people are really opposed to "chemical additives" or whatever (then there's the sort of people who are like 'if you can't pronounce it you shouldn't cook with it'), but that's lame and comes from fear mongering

I added the milk and simmered it for a while, then threw in those marshmallows and the cream and whisked it all up. I'm not stressing too much about the mallow chunks - I figure either they'll melt into it as it chills OR I'll wind up with some roasted marshmallow chunks in the churned ice cream. (Both of those are Good Actually)

Now I suppose I'll let it hang out in the fridge for a day while I contemplate my mix-ins situation. I'm thinking probably little chocolate ganache cubes (I'm doing a smores flavor if that wasn't apparent, and I figure smooth chocolate ganache is the closest thing to melty chocolate bars in this scenario) and some crushed graham cracker? (maybe I'll do both some crushed and some bigger bits :thinking emoji:)
