I’ve been thinking about it a lot, and it would be the end of an era, but…I’m really thinking about archiving this blog. NOT deleting it! Just. Maybe making a new one and starting over.

I went through my tag of personal posts back three years trying to find a photo a bit ago, and I just. It was really depressing. It was extremely depressing remembering how much I blocked out of 2023-2024 when my life fully fell apart for around a year due to multiple piles of family shit hitting the fan at once.

(I remembered being at the point of not wanting to go on more than once back then, but Jesus Christ I forgot how much I’d outright said so, and I’m so, so sorry to friends and loved ones who couldn’t really do much at the time but watch me spiral and try to keep my head above water.)

It feels wrong to delete those posts though, even if I don’t want to look at them ever again. So I just. Idk.

Either I delete them, or I leave Doodleborg behind and start from scratch, I guess.

I don’t know, I’ll think about it more before I decide on anything.

if yall want more original Black films being made, unfortunately you do have to go see them in theaters and not wait for them to get on streaming. that’s only way these nonblack movie execs will find Black art to be worthwhile funding and distributing.

important that you never forgive ice agents, ever. even years after all this is over (and I do believe we will make it out on the other side, alive and for the better,) they live in shame and disgrace forever. no excuses, no forgiveness. they ruined their own lives when they decided that human freedom and liberty was an acceptable sacrifice for a paycheck

the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be apart of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.

Braided bread

My mother-in-law's recipe book has been invaluable over the more recent years of my cooking journey, and today's recipe (ever so slightly adjusted) is one that fans have been clamouring for: braided bread. This delicious, light brioche is sweet and fragrant- if you don't have saffron, try using a good amount of nutmeg, cinnamon, or any other spice you wish!

You will need:

900g flour, plus extra for dusting

200g butter, melted

500ml warm (not hot!) milk

50g dry yeast

1/2 tsp salt

250g caster sugar

1g saffron

2 eggs, beaten

Method:

Combine the butter, half the milk, and yeast. Stir thoroughly and set aside until the yeast is frothy.

Add the rest of the milk, sugar, and saffron once the yeast is frothy. Add one of the eggs to the mixture and beat on medium speed with an electric mixer with dough hooks if possible.

Once the mixture is smooth, add the flour, and crank the speed up to high. Continue to mix until the ingredients are well combined and you have an even, yellow dough. Cover with cling wrap and set aside in a large bowl for about 3 hours to rise. The dough may need a second proofing if it starts to spill over, but try to keep the rising time to about three hours to allow the saffron to infuse.

On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough into 3 even lumps, and roll each of them out individually into ropes. It's important that you don't over-flour the dough, as it's very buttery and really doesn't need any to prevent it from sticking. I like my strands to be at least an inch thick, so they get nice and fluffy when baking. If you prefer, you can divide the dough into two separate batches to make smaller breads- simply make 6 ropes instead of 3.

With the dough resting on a baking sheet lined with paper, pinch the tops of the three ropes together to join them, and braid your bread. It should neither be too tight or too loose- it should hold if you pick it up.

Set the braided dough aside for 30 minutes. Turn your oven up to 250C/482F. Brush with the other egg over the bread (be sure to get in the corners!) to give it a pretty glaze, and bake on the middle shelf for 8-10 minutes. Leave to cool for at least 15 minutes on a wire rack before eating.

One of the best things about being a writer is thinking of something small you can add to your work that’s just. Devastating. Like you’re sitting there going. Oh. That would be diabolical. People would get really riled up about that. Exquisite. Let’s do it.

CELEBORN OF DORIATH

Delighted to share one of the two Celeborn commissions I’ve been working on this batch! The commissioner for this one wanted me to show him as young-ish, definitely whilst he was still living in Doriath, and I quote ‘the kind of elf that would make a Noldo princess’ jaw hit the floor’, and I was only too happy to oblige.

Anyway, if I was walking around in Lothlorien and this guy turns up and goes ‘where is Gandalf for I would much like to speak with him’, I would be telling him to hold on for five minutes, before hopping onto ebay and typing in ‘fake beard’, ‘pointy wizard hat’ and ‘morning after pill’.

commission info here: also just a quick announcement that once my remaining August slots fill out, I’ll be closing my queue for new orders until late November or early December, as I’ll be working on a couple of other projects later this year + am also getting m*rried in Sept. which is to say, get in quick if you want your hot elf drawn, etc etc. also another note since a couple of people have asked: if your bank doesn’t let you use kofi just hmu for my paypal.me link, i just don’t publicise it because it has my government name etc.

The Odyssey but retold as a low-stakes modern adventure of one guy out with his girlfriend leaving the bar with his buddies to do just one (1) simple thing real quick, it'll take like 15 minutes tops, he'll be right back, but then some bullshit happens and the trip keeps getting more complicated as more bullshit keeps happening while he just tries to get back to the bar because he promised his girlfriend that he'd get back and he knows that she's still there because she told him she'd wait there.

And by the time he finally gets back it's almost 3 am and the bar is about to close while she's sitting there stone cold sober, surrounded by 5 drunk guys unsuccessfully trying to convince her to give up on waiting for him and go home with one of them instead. And the guy shows up to proceed to beat the shit out of them before explaining himself to her like hey sorry bullshit kept happening, my phone fell into a storm drain and my wallet got stolen when I was trying to find someone who'd borrow me a phone so I could call and

His girlfriend had been fending off the 5 drunk guys for most of the evening by explaining that even if she was going to ditch her boyfriend, she can't possibly leave without finishing her beer, which she is keeping perpetually full via careful sleight of hand where she's just pouring it back and forth into and out of the pitcher.

However the drunk guys are also drinking, and eventually she can't afford to buy another pitcher for the table so she can't keep up the ever-full beer glass trick. At this point she has to resort to setting up the pool trick shot that she's never seen anyone but her boyfriend pull off, and says she'll leave with whoever manages the shot first.

That buys her another hour or so and then, finally, her boyfriend makes it back. He looks like shit, hair down and just a mess, he's wearing an entirely different jacket that he got from an alley, and barely recognizable—especially to 5 guys who've been drunk for hours now. He lurks for a minute, finds out what's going on, and proceeds to pull off the trick shot first try. Throws the jacket off, fixes his hair with a hair tie his girlfriend lends him, finally looks like himself again, and THEN beats the shit out of them with the pool cue.

Tumblr is the reason why I have something I call the cashier test which is, if i told this to a random cashier at the grocery store, would they think you're crazy at best or at worst would they be warranted in leaping over the counter and beating the shit out of you. Karl Marx mpreg is crazy, but not beating the shit out of you crazy. The cashier will probably talk about you to their coworkers and it might even make their day. Telling someone they're complicit in their own oppression by working a minimum wage job at a grocery store makes them warranted in leaping over the counter to beat the shit out of you.
