I Think (or Choose To Believe) That If We Had Gotten To See Him Live Long Enough, Askor Would Have Be

I think (or choose to believe) that if we had gotten to see him live long enough, Askor would have be a morally good character. He would have been someone I could agree with. And you’re right, he’s so interesting! Askor is his own creature, he holds a lot of responsibility within himself even if it’s only about the things he wants.

Listen…Mariel Gullwhacker (and Matthias in the TV show) introduced themselves to the Redwallers through violence as well- violence that was completely understandable. Why not the same for this wolverine? I choose to have faith in Askor. He seems cool.

I am absolutely FASCINATED by Askor from Rakkety Tam. He’s a dangerous cannibal wolverine—but less nuts than Gulo, a better leader, Dramz’s favorite child, surprisingly poetic (wrt his riddle), and, most shockingly, Gulo thinks he would be willing to save Doogy. I’d love to examine motivations behind him stealing the Walking Stone. Was he concerned enough about the kingdom that he couldn’t morally allow Gulo to be king? Was it just to spite Gulo? Did he have enough loyalty to their father that he was upset about Gulo murdering him and that’s where the spite came from? Considering that Askor threatened to eat the first creatures who offered to help him, why does Gulo think that Askor would risk his life to save Doogy? Is he just nuts or is there something to that?

Oh my god oh my god oh my god

Absolutely

so i was thinking…in Cluny’s introduction, BJ writes about rumors surrounding where Cluny came from–speculations that he’s “Portuguese” or “from the jungles far across the wide oceans.” Now, real places like Portugal are clearly no longer included in the Redwall mythos, but the thought persists–what if Cluny came from the Redwall-world equivalent of Brazil? That’s a jungle across the seas with Portuguese influence. This is a long-winded way of saying it would be cool if he were a woolly giant rat (Kunsia tomentosus), which are rather large black rats (well, they’re new world rats/cricetids so like…sort of) from Brazil and Bolivia. The main issue with this hc is that they have relatively short tails, about the same length as the average brown rat’s despite WGRs being larger overall. But I suppose that means Cluny would stand out especially among WGRs, which is good considering his reputation.

he fluffy lmao

“Rosey”!! I really should be making this one

Hewwo! baps your face off! TODAY from the big book of Redwall cookin’, we have my fuckin favorite recipe thus far; Rosey’s Jolly Raspberry Jelly Rock Cakes- The one that I’ve actually had ready to go for a few weeks now but I kept eating it too fast to take notes. Buckle into your buggies, hotshots.

(You can find the original recipe at the bottom if you’d like to follow along, and i plead you do)-

MY NAMES CROSS NOW LETS COOK LIKE ANIMALS

SO, “what goes in to a Jolly Raspberry Jelly Rock Cake?” YOU MIGHT ASK

All-purpose flour

Baking powder

Salt

Unsalted butter

Sugar

Eggs

Raspberry jam or jelly

Went to read this recipe and upon realizing i had every ingredient- from start to finish it took about an hour and half from deciding to make it to being able to eat it! 

AND, “what does Jolly Raspberry Jelly Rock Cake taste like?” YOU MIGHT ASK

Excellence. Pure comfort. Food that heals bones and hearts. Food that laces up scars. Food you make for your lover in bed on a cold rainy day.

Not quite fluffy, but very soft, smooth center

Crumbly, again soft, outer

Tart raspberry jam is the crown jewel of the piece. Mwah. God.

Rich and refreshing

The sprinkled sugar comes out not overbearingly sweet

Do try to eat/serve these warm, they keep well, but the jam will start to absorb into the pastry

Most jam or fruit filling works here, as long as it has some tartness, the world is your oyster. Grab your oyster fork. Feel weird about having an oyster fork. 

Like a molten lava cakes baby cousin-

. Used fine granulated sugar 

. Used salted butter (and only a pinch of salt instead of tsp.)

. Used raspberry jam

. Served with goat cheese caramel lightly drizzled

. Bumping the cook time up from 15 to 17 minutes let the edges brown a bit more which I recommend I think in the future I would like to also try pairing this with slices of strawberry, or perhaps fresh raspberries placed on top? Its hard to spitball pairing ideas because Most Things would pair fair!!

Gentlethems of the Jury, we here at crossy wossys kitschy kitchy, welcome our very first 10/10

I so dearly need to communicate that I’ve had this art made for a good week now, I first baked this almost 2 weeks ago, and am just now getting around to writing the actual review. I like to have the food in my mouth to write about the flavor/mouthfeels section.  And I kept eating them too fast to take notes. I’ve used almost a whole bag of sugar making these on repeat and my teeth surely hate me but the heavens sneer enviously.

These fellas don’t seem rather persnickety- I think one would have to actively try to mess up the recipe in a way where its no longer delicious. These are essentially scones with more variety in textures and flavors! The aforementioned latest batch was made at 4am halfmindedly with multiple perceived mistakes, and the only difference from the first carefully attended-to batch was that they were slightly less pretty to look at, both being absolutely mouthwatering. 

The low fussy-ness, low spoons (for me!), and delicious outcome that can pair with many drinks, makes this a flawless pastry in my eyes. a proud 10/10, with 1 being food that makes one physically sick and 10 being food that gives one a lust for life again.

How many people have talked about the intriguing nature of Badrang and Clogg’s love-hate relationship. Grumpy introvert x their own personal chaos extrovert, much?

*Spoiler Warning*

The baby owls that Taunoc and Orocca gave birth to in The Long Patrol- Nutwing, Nutbeak, and Nutclaw- are actually written about again later! Nutbeak and Nutclaw leave the Abbey when they are of-age, but Nutwing stays behind. He and the silly old owl in Marlfox are one in the same!

He befriends Friar Butty and lives in the gatehouse. He keeps a relationship with Cregga Rose Eyes, who he met when he was but a babe. He gives his life helping prevent Ascrod from invading the Abbey.
