This is the Tree for
corpsebrigadier! Below are the requested Pears it can be decorated with (beginning 24 December).
Username: corpsebrigadier
AO3 Username: CorpseBrigadier
Request 1: Fiction or artwork depicting Bagpuss or his companions as some manner of occult entities. For those of you unfamiliar with Bagpuss, he is the star of a soothing British children's television program about secretly living toys and objects that repair lost artifacts such that their owners can identify them. The typical-for-kids-media focus on repetition and structure lend it a sort of magic ritual vibe, as does Bagpuss's ability to visually project his thoughts. You can watch the collected episodes here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLh-Mj_oSkpi75Oxs3r-LbWTKQ0a3RnWMZ. All hail Bagpuss and his works. (DNW: Sexual content, although violence/dark themes are fine)
Request 2: Any creative content whatsoever (fic, illustration, meta, fanmixes, napkin art, game manual blackout poetry, parodic mosfungus recipes, anything) for the original Final Fantasy Tactics (as opposed to Advance or A2). I tend to like darker content, and the older Beoulve brothers and the Folles siblings are my faves, but seriously, I will accept almost anything for this canon. I will accept Worker 7/Worker 8 incestuous robot a/b/o. I will accept surrealist artwork of Ramza Beoulve awakening from troubled dreams to find himself transformed into a cockroach. I will accept a treatise regarding Beowulf Cadmus' hypothetical ratings for every dildo in the Bad Dragon catalog. If you ever played this game (or even if you haven't!) and you can imagine content you would like to create for it, I will enjoy it. My only DNW is content that eroticizes or makes light of Rafa's rape; absolutely everything else is game.
Request 3: Fic of any length for your favorite game you could play on a computer in the 1980-1990s. I am a nostalgia hound for pretty much anything from this era, and I want to know what other people loved about it. If you can include an explanation of what it is and why you like it, that's awesome, and Let's Play links would additionally be appreciated.
Request 4: Instructions or ideas for anything nifty I can make with my two hands (recipes, spells/charms, crafts) that will use the basil I keep generating. I do not have a ton of basil at any one time, but I keep growing it and I am perpetually propagating more cuttings to try to keep plants from going woody when I don't prune them for actual culinary purposes fast enough. This means I have a ton of little basils, and they keep generating more little basils, and my windowsill is just becoming a glorified basil colony. Anything cool involving tiny amounts of basil would be excellent.
Request 5: Fiction or artwork featuring the Golux from James Thurber's The 13 Clocks. This mere device was one of my earliest childhood crushes. I would love anything with him, particularly works showing his interactions with the children who apparently inhabited the castle at one point and played with him with a star-spangled ball. As I understand the artistic limits by which mortal beings are bound, feel free to make his hat describable. (Unlike my other requests for media for/featuring children, NSFW is fine if you are really driven to compose Golux porn this holiday season, just... not featuring the aforementioned kids.)
Request 6: Folk/rock playlists or song recs about cannibalism (survival or otherwise). I'd recommend Captain Tractor's "A Tale They Won't Believe" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svtOveWcfAY) as a starting point for the general vibe I appreciate. Holiday-themed cannibalism songs are a plus, although I realize this is a season where people celebrate Jesus being born and not Jesus being eaten.
Request 7: Drabbles or quick sketches of Gau from Final Fantasy VI. For the latter, envision something you can complete in less than 15 minutes. In-character self portraits of Gau appreciated. Inclusion of Gau's two muscledads (Cyan and Sabin) encouraged. I love this funky little feral child. (DNW: NSFW)
Additional Information: I'm not personally keen on scat, watersports, pregnancy kink, and a/b/o, but everything I've requested either DNWs NSFW content or is intentionally open-ended enough that you should feel free to do as thou wilt. As for likes, I particular dig any use of herbalism, floriography, or other plant-based symbolism; dark content (angst, non-con, character death, etc...); and stuff with religious and/or occult vibes (Catholicism left its mark on me).

Date: 2019-12-24 02:21 am (UTC)As for spells: my favourite home cleanser is sea/coarse salt mixed with a pinch of basil, put into a glass and then topped with a bit of vinegar. You can leave it in any room in your home that needs cleansing, and replace it when it dries out.
Happy holidays! :)

Date: 2019-12-26 12:41 pm (UTC)Goose language is just ten ways to say the same thing: "This is where I am." Humans have many clever words. But humans get lost.
The birds make a shape in the air like writing. Cyan comes to see what he's looking at, and he points up and says "Poem." Cyan goes quiet, so impressed that this time he doesn't even tell Gau to put shoes on.

Date: 2020-01-04 07:51 pm (UTC)Tomato Tart
Shortcrust pastry (I used ready-made)
700g tomatoes, sliced
salt and freshly ground black pepper
75g fine oatmeal
olive oil for frying
large bunch of fresh basil, chopped
3 tablespoons grated cheddar cheese
Line a 22 cm tart tin with the pastry.* Season the tomato slices with salt and pepper, dip them in the oatmeal until well coated, then fry in the olive oil until the oatmeal forms a golden crust. Fill the tart crust with layers of tomatoes & basil, then sprinkle with the cheese. Bake at 220 degrees C for 15 minutes, then at 190 degrees C for a further 2 mins. Cool a little on a wire rack before serving.
*The recipe doesn't mention baking blind, but I think the result would have been better if I had.
