“why do we bake cookies at 180 for 9 minutes when we could do 400 for 2 minutes?” -enter the godawful lump of coal with a still gross wet and uncooked inside

“why do we have to scoop out little cookies instead of doing the whole tray?” -ok well that one you can technically do if the spread is even. you just end up with one giant, structurally unsound cookie. “PLEASE CAN WE MAKE GIANT COOKIES” (we did make 1 giant tray cookie)

we talked a lot about why consistency is important, but i don’t think it really hammered home until i said “okay everyone gets ONE cookie, that’s fair, right?” and then handed out cookies of hugely varying sizes. + baked one fat lump of a cookie that still wasn’t done at the 9 minutes, vs the regular one i put in that came out charred by the time the first was actually done.

we also made a row of cookies where each one had one single differing ingredient omitted, like a cookie with no flour, or a cookie with no butter, and laid them all out on a single tray to bake together to see how each ingredient affects the outcome.

two of the little girls added cocoa to their cookie doughs until it matched the colour of each others skin to make best friend cookies, and that almost made me tear up a bit 🥺

got briefly distracted (…for over half an hour…) talking about how eggs form when someone cracked an egg and it had 2 yolks

expertly tolerated being asked how old i am (just turned 31 the other day) which was immediately followed by asking if i watched the moon landing live on tv

was so focused on keeping track of all the kids that in the end i forgot to make a cookie for myself, but it’s ok because one of the girls gave me this

“will there be knives involved?” we are baking cookies.

“what temperatures does the oven get to/will it be hot enough to burn?” we are baking cookies.

“will there be [insert ingredient used in cookies]?” we are baking cookies.

“are you using fahrenheit or celsius?” ??????? d-does it matter?? it’s going to get Hot. (also celsius; this is ontario)

“are the ovens childproof?” no?? i’m assuming you’re asking if i’m going to let your kids reach into the ovens while i’m staring out a window in another room. i will not be allowing your children to use the ovens. they will not be left unattended. 

“why is the library baking class taking place at the high school?” the library does not have 10 ovens. the library does not even have 1 oven. the high school has many ovens.

“what if i don’t want my child to have cookies? can you let her make muffins instead?” this is a baking class for cookies. we are baking cookies.

“cookies aren’t healthy. why don’t you make [insert whatever]” do you know how many cookies i can make with a $40 budget and a trip to the bulk store? we are making cookies.

[id: screenshots of tiktok captions. the images say, “but the only reason we still love princess diana is because she did not have the time to disappoint us.”]

begging queer kids to read up on princess diana’s involvement with the community. yes, she was a rich, pretty monarch. yes, she died young.

but the reason why queer people love her is because she used her privilege during the aids crisis to advocate for sick queer men, when very few others would - much less someone of her status.

diana spent years advocating for the health and care of queer people with hiv/aids. in 1987, at the height of the epidemic, she opened the first specialist clinic dedicated to treating aids patients (the first clinic of it’s kind in the uk).

she also fought public hysteria by hugging and shaking bare hands with aids patients, at a time when aids was thought to be spread by skin to skin contact. not only that, she visited patients in the clinic regularly and even comforted them through their sickness.

and when queen elizabeth told her to try focusing on “something more pleasant”?

diana ignored her and kept fighting.

and don't get me wrong, i loved watching it and in the absence of the earrings it made sense

but im gonna have to add this to my growing series of "what really happened in c1 and why i love it" posts

because in the original campaign, all of vox machina had earrings enchanted with the message cantrip, so they could function as long distance communication ear pieces

which meant that, when vax left them all in the acid trap, vex was secretly talking to him the whole time

(and sylas' mind control on vax in the original wasn't actually an order to attack his friends, it was just to make vax believe that protecting the briarwoods was his priority)

and there were three moments during that that absolutely killed me

the first was vex, after they escaped the acid, using it against vax, and crying into the earring, pleading for help because it was killing them - which actually made vax freeze in his tracks and unable to move, torn between the magical need to follow the briarwoods and the instinctual need to protect his sister - the briarwoods actually had to reapply the mind control to get him to move

the second was on vax's part - because he didn't see anything wrong with the briarwoods' plan anymore, so when vex tried to just make casual conversation to stay updated on what was happening, he answered her like in any other conversation.

until delilah asked him who he was talking to

and vax lied

matt made him pass a wis save to do it, but again, even though vax didn't consciously know there was anything wrong with delilah asking that (and he continued to be friendly with them), just enough of him broke through to protect his sister

and the third is just, so indicative of who vax is as a person

because when vox machina caught up and started the fight, vax didn't attack his friends, he was just confused and upset that vex would hurt their allies, and tried to break the fight up. because vax has literally said before "i am charmed at the drop of a hat", it's really easy to manipulate his love for people to include more people that it shouldn't

but it's almost impossible to get him to rationalise hurting people he cares about, under any circumstances

so the dissonance resolves itself in his mind as "everyone here is friends, why are we fighting???"
