Satellite hermits AU | Etho

Etho [ engineer ] Etho is... A quirky guy. And a very elusive one, at that. He occupies one of the most distant stations west from the main valley and was among the very first settlers, although nobody can really recall seeing him when he first started showing up in radio comms. Even nowadays he's barely seen in person by anyone (except occasional meetings with his immediate neighbors). He knows a lot of seemingly random and obscure stuff, but is often confused by common knowledge

Even though he sometimes says or does weird things, everyone loves Etho :)

: > search: "Etho"

LOG 01520: ...Joel brought to attention of some expedition members that <Etho> [REDACTED]. He thinks he was sent by ISC (the "Watchers"), although both Scar and I argue there is a mistake. Because there is. We agreed on looking into it later this week...

LOG 02821: ...On the third night of the search operation for [REDACTED], <Etho> confessed (under pressure of a gunpoint) [REDACTED] [YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW THIS] [WE AGREED ON KEEPING IT A SECRET] resolved peacefully. 5 [UPDATED:7?] people know about it. No reports mentioning this were sent to Earth, except for the report about the first accident and [REDACTED] along with it to finally be put at rest at homeland...

every time someone mentions the little prince I almost forget it’s a children’s book because I literally cannot get through the part about being tamed without crying

Olympic Chocolate Muffins! (since the recipe is paywalled on WaPo)

Cool the muffins and ganache completely before assembly, about 30-40 minutes

Makes 12 muffins

Muffin Ingredients:

¾ cup (180 ml) whole or reduced fat milk

¼ cup (60 ml) water

2 teaspoons instant coffee powder

½ cup (50 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder

4 tablespoons (56 grams) unsalted butter, cut into pieces

½ cup + 1/3 cup (145 total grams) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chunks

2 cups (250 grams) AP flour

1 tablespoon baking powser

¼ teaspoon fine salt

½ cup (110 grams) packed dark brown sugar

½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar

¼ cup (60 ml) neutral oil

2 large eggs, room temp

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/3 cup (60 grams) chopped milk chocolate, plus more for topping

Ganache Ingredients:

2/3 cup (115 grams) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chunks

½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream

1/8 teaspoon fine salt

Directions

Position rack in the middle of the oven, preheat 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a regular sized muffin pan with liners.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine milk, water, and instant coffee. Bring to a simmer, whisking occasionally.

Add cocoa powder and whisk.

Decrease heat to low, add ½ cup (85 grams) of the chocolate chunks and butter, whisk until melted and smooth.

Transfer to a large bowl and cool slightly

In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.

To chocolate mixture, whisk in brown sugar, granulated sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla.

Add about 1/3 of the flour mixture, whisk until incorporated

Add remaining flour, folding with a spatula until no streaks remain.

Fold in remaining 1/3 cup (60 grams) chocolate chunks and chopped milk chocolate, until just combined. Do not overmix.

Using a ¼ cup scoop or measuring cup, divide batter among 12 muffin cups, filling to the top of the pan.

Sprinkle additional chocolate chunks on top.

Transfer pan to oven, and immediately reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bake for 22-24 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Start on ganache now

Let muffins cool in pan for 10 minutes, then use a knife or piping tip to cut an approximately ¾ inch wide hole in the center of each muffin. (use the centers as ice cream topping or eat now!)

Let muffins cool completely.

GANACHE: in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine chocolate chunks, heavy cream, and salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool completely.

Once muffins and ganache are completely cool, spoon or pipe ganache into the center of the muffin, until slightly overflowed. Serve immediately.

Shows you should save physically immediately + addition I recommend reading

Over the Garden Wall -- It's being pulled from HBO Max on August 31 and knowing HBO, there's a chance it'll be pulled sooner. *I have now made a Google Drive of all the episodes of OTGW. Please, please, please, PLEASE, save these on a physical device.

The Owl House -- Disney has tried to bury this show many times (giving it a weird release schedule, cutting the budget, etc) and has even cancelled the show. Also, Disney+ is going to nuke their catalogue soon and I doubt TOH will survive*I have now also saved all the episodes of TOH. Click here for the posts with all of the episodes

Amphibia -- I know less about the behind the scenes BS than TOH but Amphibia was screwed over by Disney mainly by poor promotion. Also since one of the protagonist is openly bisexual*, like TOH, I really can't imagine this would survive.*Amphibia has also been saved. Go here for the post with all the episodes.

Steven Universe -- Cartoon Network cancelled Steven Universe and gave it a weird release schedule, it has also just been pulled from HBO Max.

Gravity Falls -- Once again, Disney+ is going to nuke their catalogue at some point in the future and between Wendy being canonically bi, Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland being in a relationship, and Alex Hirsch (being the amazing man that he is) constantly calling Disney out on their BS, I imagine that Disney would be more than willing to nuke Gravity Falls. *I’ve also saved Gravity Falls now go to the main post here to see all the episodes.

and most importantly

Every single show, book, game, fanfiction, movie, etc you've ever loved

We now know that at any moment's notice, streaming services can and will just nuke their catalogue without hesitation. If it's digital, it can be removed and there's a likely chance you'll never see it again.

So, please take some time to save anything you love on an external device. It could be a box set (it can be official or fan-made one), a USB, or anything.

If you have a physical copy of something, it's yours forever and no one can take that away from you.

*Edit because I’ve seen some confusion about this. Read this again, it’s “one of the protagonists” not “the protagonist.” Sasha is the one who’s bi, Anne’s sexuality hasn’t been confirmed.

Also in addition to this, people have reblogged this to say Steven Universe is still on HBO. Since I don’t have HBO, I’ve been going off of what people have been saying and I’ve seen it mentioned that HBO was taking off SU. You should still save it though.

*Edit 2 if any of the links here don’t work, check the original post as I might’ve changed/updated them. If that still doesn’t work, send me an ask or DM I’ll give them to you.

GIRL HELP I EVOLVED FRUIT GUMMY AND HES LITERALLY THE SIZE OF MY ENTIRE ROOM

On the note of """"fandom colors"""", I just want all you artists to know that you don't have to come up with color designs out of your head in order for things to be valid. Referencing design, photos, etc for color pallets is an IMPORTANT part of character and graphic design. (Just like using references for poses!!!) I like to find photos of landscapes or flowers and mosaic blur them- then pick the colors I like out of those. Great way to make cohesive and we'll balanced pallets.

real and true!!!

Look who's walking
