[shepherds-of-haven]

It’s holiday season, which for many means potluck season, so the question is: what are each of the Shepherds bringing to the potluck?

Blade: it's either a loaf of bread (safest option in his mind, goes with any meal, staple grain, a solid and nutritious foundation for any party) or the dressed and butchered carcass of something he personally hunted himself. There is no in-between

Trouble: he stopped by a deli or something similar and picked up a chicken pot pie, or a roast turkey or a rotisserie chicken, or something of the sort! He's a main dish kind of guy!

Tallys: she's probably bringing either a big salad she made herself or the vegetable side dishes, roasted sweet potatoes or glazed carrots or what have you, or maybe a fruit and cheese platter! She's got to round out this nonsense lol

Shery: all the desserts! She's bringing platters of holiday cookies (at least 6 different varieties, for all of the different flavor preferences present), cinnamon rolls, probably a cake too!

Riel: he stopped by a famous patisserie and picked up their most expensive chocolate gateau or platters of some fancy pastry like profiteroles or something!

Chase: he 100% supplied the alcohol for this potluck. Just a ton of booze or homemade punch. Whether he also brought every chip variety he could find at the store or ordered some pizza depends on the vibe of the potluck lol

Red: he made a valiant attempt of either bringing a charcuterie board (whether pre-assembled or homemade depends on how forgetful he was that week), or, if he was feeling really ambitious, like a pasta salad or a tray of slightly sad-looking Italian sliders or little sandwiches or something!

Ayla: she'd bring something easy, like chips and probably a spicy elote dip or something similar that she just threw together into a big bowl, or like a trail mix/chex mix sort of snack bowl, you know, with pretzels and chips and nuts and things!

Briony: she also brought a dip--I imagine her doing a hot baked dip like a crab rangoon dip with wonton chips--and an easy dessert, like chocolate chip cookie bars with a cream cheese layer in the middle!

Lavinet: a bottle of wine and a store-bought veggie tray, darling. She's a disaster in the kitchen, you don't want her bringing anything else 💅🏼

Halek: you fools. you don't know how long he's prepared for this. he's not a potluck participant, he's an independent caterer. He brought five courses: deviled eggs and vol-au-vents for hors d'oeuvres, an elevated salad, cioppino or lobster bisque for soup, moussaka or coq au vin for the main, and berry trifle for dessert!

Potluck is coming, and as such, I've taken the opportunity to draw Pulsar (my partner's air genasi / aasimar druid) and Tephra (my tiefling / air genasi bard!) I wanted to try something entirely different, so I put them in a candy world. I haven't drawn them much comparatively, and I forget how hard their designs are lmao. They're cousins, btw! The cutest little things to make up for the horrors their parents went through in the campaign

This picture was incredibly hard and took a lot of back and forth, so reblogs are very, very appreciated!

Tumblr Potluck 9/18/25: My Homemade Apple Cider Recipe

Shout out to @daysleftofsecondterm for introducing me to the tumblr potluck! Here’s my entry

Time: approx. 3 hours

Prep Time: approx. 15 minutes

Ingredients:

8 apples

2 oranges

1 gallon water (approximately)

5 cinnamon sticks (approx. 3-4 inches each)

1.5 tbsp whole cloves

2/3 cups light brown sugar

(Optional) 1-2 extra cinnamon sticks for garnish

Materials/Tools:

Stovetop

A large pot (1-2 gallons-ish)

Large sharp knife

Oven mitts

Potato Masher

Mesh Strainer

Ladle

Mug

(Optional) Pitcher for leftovers

Steps:

Slice apples and oranges into quarters. You do NOT need to take out the stems or seeds

Put sliced fruit into the pot

Pour water into pot, around the fruit, up to about 1-2 cm under the top edge of the pot

Place pot on medium heat until it starts to boil, then turn it down so it stays at a constant simmer with as little heat as possible

Leave on heat for 2 hours, occasionally checking on it

Turn the heat off and mash the fruit using the masher

Add the cloves, cinnamon sticks, and brown sugar

Stir the mixture with the ladle until it seems homogenous

Rinse off the ladle

Turn heat back on on low

Let sit for 10-20 min

Turn heat off

Put strainer in pot on top of the mush, the liquid should start to pool in the strainer, this is the final proper cider

Use ladle to pour cider into mug

(Optional) add another 1-2 cinnamon sticks to your mug for garnish

Enjoy!

(Optional) Pour the rest into a pitcher for later
