Officially, Telesphore's cupcakes should be snake-berry and swamp apricot, which are clearly unavailable to me, so I went with berries from a fresh batch of berry liqueur and some almond and vanilla extract. Which means these are going to take longer to perpare than usual, since you need at least two weeks to make the liqueur (the berries need to sit in sugar and ferment for about a week and then at least another week to macerate with the alcohol of your choice). I went with a fluffy cake that I overbaked, to get a nice, crispy exterior.
Recipe under the cut and on ao3
If you know how to make vișinată or afinată or any other kind of -ată, or a cordial, you're set. If you don't, I recommend looking up a recipe, but what I did was put a bunch of blueberries, redcurrants, strawberries and sliced apricots (get the pieces about the same size as the berries) in a 1L jar with about 200gr sugar, in layers, and leave them for about a week. Shake the jar every now and then, so the sugar dissolves. About a week later, you'll have some nice syrup and some fermented fruit - fill up the rest of the jar with vodka and leave it for at least another week. (You're supposed to leave it for three months for vișinată, for instance, but that would just make this whole recipe's prep time ridiculously long. You can let whatever's left from making the cupcakes age properly afterwards. A week is long enough for what we need here).
Now, for the cupcakes proper.
Ingredients:
4 eggs, separated
200gr sugar
1tsp vanilla essence
1/2tsp almond essence
150gr flour
1/4tsp salt
4tbsp oil
2tbsp water
a few drops lemon juice
200gr berries from the liqueur (this will include about a tablespoon of alcohol) (if you don't want to use alcohol, you can use fresh berries and apricots. don't worry about it)
Preheat oven (Gas Mark 4/180° C/350 F).
Separate the eggs
Mix the yolks with 2tbsp sugar, half the salt, the vanilla and almond essence
Beat the egg whites with the rest of the salt, a few drops of lemon juice and the rest of the sugar (add it gradually), until you get stiff peaks
Incorporate as much flour as you can into the yolk mixture
Gradually incorporate the whites into the mixture (switch to a fork or a whisk at this point)
Gradually incorporate the rest of the flour, one tablespoon at the time
Carefully incorporate the berries into the batter.
Spoon the batter into the muffin tray and bake for 30min
Leave them in the over for a couple more minutes after they're done, to make sure they won't deflate.
Let them cool in the tray for 1-2min after you take them out and then let them cool completely.
Frosting:
250gr mascarpone
3tbsp sugar
1tbsp berry liqueur
a few drops of blue and red food dye
Mix until stiff

so what if I kept going on that Eisen flashback drabble. and what if I'm writing a prequel novella. what then
Tbh the best way I could pitch Faustina from @killjamxxx is “What if Miku killed people with a machete for her fans instead of singing”
you would almost think that israel has stopped killing palestinians but in the past twenty-four hours i have seen some of the most gruesome images of dead and beheaded human beings in my life, once again, in july of 2024.
israel is banking on nine months of genocide pacifying global outrage, the slow and steady extermination becoming more palatable. however, nine months in this also incriminates them absolutely.
to be committing such heinous crimes nine months in, with a genocide trial, ICC warrants pending, the eyes of the world on them shows that israel is not a state with any system of accountability, nor are its citizens or its supporters capable of mounting a real opposition to its genocidal mandate of palestinians. nine months of unstoppable and unceasing war crimes, and nine months of israel apologists refusing to give an inch as they continue to take lives. nine months of proving that they were never trying to end hamas, nor were they ever capable of it, but they seek nothing except the annihilation of palestinians and the annexation of their lands. nine months of settler colonialism in action.
nine months of palestinians being proven, beyond a doubt, completely right in their assessment of israel. a state that is beyond redemption, a state that is not a partner for peace, a state that has never stopped reproducing the violence of its foundation since the day it was founded.
