anyone want my mom's insanely good choc chip muffin recipe from when she owned a bakery? it's probably based on a king arthur flour recipe so it might be available on the internet but im not gonna gatekeep

sorry that took forever, i had to convert all the kitchen jargon into useful measurements. If you have a kitchen scale, use it. Measuring by weight will make this way faster!

320g (2 1/3c) all purpose flour (if you have soft wheat flour lying around, use 120g/1c of it and the rest all-purpose)

200g (1c) sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking soda

2 1/2 tsp baking powder

1c buttermilk/sour milk

175g (about half a bag) mini chocolate chips

65g (a 1/4c plus a lil) sour cream

2 eggs

12g (about 2 1/2 tsp) vanilla

42g (2T) honey

30g (2T) vegetable oil

110g (1 stick) butter, melted (if you use salted butter, reduce salt to 1/4 tsp)

1. Mix together dry ingredients in a big bowl. Add chocolate chips.

2. In separate bowl, whisk together eggs and (room temp) melted butter. Once it's smooth, add oil, honey, buttermilk, vanilla, and sour cream.

3. Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Let rest for an hour. (This gives the baking powder time to really go crazy and give you the Big Muffin Lift.)

4. Preheat oven to 425° F. Line muffin tin and scoop about 1/3 batter into each cup. Garnish as desired with extra chocolate chips and sugar (Demerara sugar is good for this but normal will do).

5. Bake 8 minutes. Then, without opening the oven, reduce heat to 350°F. Bake 8-10 minutes more.

6. Cool 10 minutes in pan before removing.

Imo the best type of system for children to grow up in would be one that assumes the birth parents/primary guardians won't do shit and takes care of every aspect of childcare that's essential for their wellbeing and development, collectively.

But I'm just a guy who only learned how to brush his teeth properly and got glasses as a child because we had both a dentist and a doctor come to school on a regular basis. The dentist would have us all stand in a circle with our little toothbrushes and show us how to brush and correct our technique. The doctors would give us general health assessments and then have the teachers contact our patents and essentially peer pressure them into getting us any health intervention we needed. My parents only reluctantly got me glasses because they knew the teachers would judge them if they kept seeing me sit in the very front row and still squint to see the chalkboard. So I'm biased.

The only times I ever remember seeing a dentist or doctor as a child was at school. I'm quite healthy physically and I'm very grateful for all the care I got from the various professionals who cared about my well-being and development more than my actual parents did.

We had free healthcare including dental, mind you, my parents just couldn't be bothered. When my brother, as a teenager, asked our mother if she could take him to his orthodontist appointments (which he'd already arranged for on his own) she basically told him she didn't feel like it and he had to take the bus.

If I could improve anything about that system, I'd take it even further and make it so kids could see a doctor and get meds, treatments, therapy, tests, disability aids etc. without having to rely on their parents as well. I shouldn't have had to put up with being bullied and guilt-tripped about the family finances and the time investment needed to take me to the optometrist every time I needed new glasses.

Some parents would not take care of their children even if they were given all the time and the resources. Mine are a great example of that — my mother stopped working and became a homemaker when I was in kindergarten, my father worked from the garage and was also always home. They had a car and our village even had a bus that would come once or twice an hour that would take you to the next two bigger cities.

Did that, plus the free healthcare, translate into them actually parenting and caring for us properly? It did not. They only ever did any of that reluctantly when not doing it would make them look bad, and most of the time they did a shitty job because they could never resist the urge to boost their egos by means of bullying literal children.

So I have to wonder: what did they actually contribute to our upbringing? Like they didn't teach us shit and mostly they just endangered our mental and physical health — but hey, at least they gave me cPTSD! That took some work too.

shamebats

It's a nice thought that with the proper support and resources, all parents could do a good job, but that kind of fails to account for all those who are essentially overgrown school bullies who despise their children, think they're subhuman and/or mostly only had them because they wanted to have complete power over someone who can't escape.

If children born to people like that can't still turn out ok, the system just isn't good enough.

Writing a long multichapter fic be like

snoozu

sometimes instead of “why can’t they just be friends” i think it should be “why can’t they also be friends” because sometimes shipping feels much too much like forcing two pretty characters to kiss and be intimate without actually being interested in the dynamic the two people have. what about hanging out together. what about why they like being in each others company. what do they argue about. how do they patch things up. what do they laugh about.

imo the pov character should be lying to themselves and concealing shit from themselves constantly

rowanisawriter

interrupting others who might say something revealing or important, thinking around things, using words like “didn’t” or “doesn’t” or “imagines” to describe actions not taken or half taken, dreaming things and never talking about them or thinking about them during waking hours, lying to people, hiding true feelings, sitting in shadow or low light to keep any accidental flicker of emotion hidden, writing in obtuse ways that doesn’t let the reader know what they’re thinking or planning, avoiding adverbs in tense moments, describing actions in straightforward and almost clinical ways sometimes, hiding the truth from the character and the reader even though you both know or suspect but there is just enough space there to fill with doubt
