Heyo! I was wondering if you could do some cooking/baking prompts? I'd like a few in each category you have (action, scenario, dialogue) but if you can't/don't wanna do all, that's totally fine <3

Baking/Cooking Prompts

I was so inspired by this. I'm so sorry. And I'm on a roll lol.

WARNINGS: Mention of vomit/emetophobia. Diet. Disease mention. Food poisoning.

ACTIONS

FLOUR; One character throws flour at the other.

TREAT; Baking for the sake of gifting.

RECIPE; Struggling to follow a recipe.

ASSISTANCE; One helping the other in the kitchen.

APOLOGY; A character giving another one an apology treat.

WORK; Two characters opening up a bakery.

ORDER; One ordering a treat for the other.

POISON; One character apologizing profusely for food poisoning the other.

HELP; Cake baking and two characters trying to get along.

EAT; A character swiping some of the ingredients.

SMEAR; Smearing cake on the other’s face.

KISS; Kissing the icing off the other’s cheek.

CLEAN; Cleaning the kitchen after a cooking disaster.

SURPRISE; Surprising the other with a cake on their birthday.

FEED; One character shoving cake in the other’s mouth.

WEDDING; Cutting the wedding cake.

FIGHT; A food fight started by a slight disagreement leading to hours of work.

SLIP; One character being caught by the other by slipping on stray butter.

NOTE; Gifting chocolate with a love note.

REVENGE; One character placing peppers in the other’s food after they keep stealing their lunch.

SCENARIOS

1) After months of hard work, we finally opened up our bakery, aren’t you happy?

2) You come in for an order at my bakery, and I notice how good you look.

3) No, eating the ingredients is not baking. Stop!

4) How can you look so attractive with flour in your hair?

5) You baked me a cake for my birthday? Me?

6) Don’t. Touch. My. Cake. Or I’ll make sure it’s in your face. Dammit.

7) Sometimes, I think you just married me for my baking skills because that’s all you seem to want these days. Especially when you’re sick. Yes I’ll make you those cookies.

8) You’re on a diet and I’m getting tired of fending you away from my cookies. Get. Out!

9) IT SAID A CUP. A CUP. Are you trying to sabotage us?

10) We’re competitive bakers, and I never realized how well we’d work together until we nearly made the same cake.

11) You’re on my baking team, and we keep brushing our hands together. It’s as intoxicating as the sugar on this baking tray.

12) You have a bit of icing on your lip, and I take it upon me to wipe it off. We’re really close now.

13) You’re my favorite customer in the bakery, and I refuse to close even on the bad days, because your smile brightens my day.

14) SPLATTERING OIL. SPLATTERING OIL. Please, be my meatshield?

15) Am I baking, or am I educating toddlers on measurements? My God. You point to ⅓ cup and say a tablespoon and… nevermind.

16) I may be running on four hours of sleep, a caffeine drink that made my hands shake, and sheer willpower, but I am determined to get you this cake.

17) I’m going to make your favorite food for breakfast on your birthday. Even if you want to pretend that your day doesn’t exist. Not happening.

18) Just, cut up the carrots without cutting up yourself. It’s not hard. Please. Okay, and you failed. Great.

19) I fear the pan. You don’t fear the pan. You’re the cook. End of discussion.

20) It’s only when I’m bent over the toilet that I realize I have food poisoning. Great. Thankfully, you’re here to make sure I’m hydrated and taken care of.

DIALOGUE

21) “You poisoned me!” “I did not!” “You did!”

22) “Am I sick? Am I dying? I think I see the light.” “You have food poisoning. Not a disease.”

23) “I am NOT your meatshield.” “OIL.”

24) “It’s not my birthday.” “It is your birthday, and I’m making you a cake.”

25) “Did you hurt yourself?”

26) “Hey, welcome back! What can I get for you?”

27) “I am determined to not break my visiting streak, dammit. Let me in.”

28) “One cookie?” “No.”

29) “Are we cooking or are we crying?” “Both.”

30) “How much did you put in this?”

31) “You have flour in your hair.” “Do I look sexy?” “Only to a baker.”

32) “I have cake in my eyes.” “Yeah, and I have cake down my shirt!” “Then just take off your shirt.”

33) “Do you even know how to use a knife?”

34) “Are you going to order something?” “Uuh… you?” “Not on the menu, try again in a few weeks.”

35) “Is it illegal to be married to cake?” “Well, no. But then you wouldn’t be married to me, and I make the cake.”

36) “It’s three o’clock in the morning. What are you—” “Eeeugh, cupcakes.”

37) “Nice cake!” “...” “NOT LIKE THAT!”

38) “Hey, no touchy!”

39) “Stop eating the mixture! Do you want salmonella?”

40) “You taste sweet. Like sugar.” “Must be part of being a baker.” “Or just your personality.” “Hah.”

41) “Sweetcheeks?” “No.”

42) “We make a good team.”

43) “I’m gonna—mmhm, this is good—tell all my friends. Marry a baker. It’ll turn out good in the end.” “Let me know if you’re still saying that when you don’t fit into your jeans.”

44) “If I eat another piece of sugar, I am going to vomit.” “Away from the cake, please. I worked hard on that.”

45) “Meh, these cakes aren’t as good as the ones you make.”

46) “You made it just how Mom/Dad does.”

47) “CAKE?” “Yes.” “WHOOOO!”

48) “Why is there cake?” “It’s your birthday.” “...It is?”

49) “Sugar crash incoming.”

50) “I made you this to apologize. I hope it’s all right.”

Challenging Fatphobic Language in Writing: Some Alternative Vocabularies

So I’m currently working on a short story for an explicitly fat-positive anthology, and it’s making me realize just how little language I have readily at hand for describing large bodies in positive terms!

Putting aside for a moment the whole debate over HAES and fat positivity and everything else – and if you clown on this post, I’m simply going to block you, that’s not what we’re here for – sometimes you just want to write a story with a fat person in it and you need some adjectives/descriptive language that isn’t overtly gross and/or fetishistic.

Well, I’ve got you, fam. I have compiled this handy list of descriptive terms and phrases for describing big bodies with positive connotations.

Why am I doing this?

Because this:

And this:

And frankly, we all deserve better. So let’s go.

Positive (and Neutral) Adjectives for Fatness

Abundant

Ample

Big

Broad

Buxom

Considerable

Curvy

Full

Generous

Heavy

Large

Luscious

Plentiful

Plump

Replete

Robust

Round

Rubenesque

Soft

Solid

Stocky

Substantial

Thick

Voluptuous

Zaftig

Movement Verbs Evoking Fatness

Amble

Bounce

Lope

Mosey

Pad

Plod

Pound

Ramble

Scoot

Shuffle

Trundle

Some Points to Keep In Mind

A big part of challenging fatphobia in writing is inverting or subverting stereotypes. Here are a few lazy/played-out tropes and things to think about:

Fat = Greedy I think we can all agree at this point that there are better ways to show greed – such as excessive wealth, entitlement, selfishness, and so forth. There is really no need to use fatness or gluttony as a metaphor for these concepts. Just write your greedy character doing greedy things and resist the urge to make them also be fat. If you need a strong visual metaphor, go for opulence and wealth instead.

Fat = Gross A ton of media, especially horror, loves making fat people slovenly, smelly, covered in food stains, farting and belching, etc. etc. So if you want a more positive representation, just presenting the character as clean, well-dressed, tidy, etc. actually goes a very long way. Consider playing against type by making your fat character dapper or fastidious about other elements of their appearance, like their hair, or wearing very nice custom-fitted clothes (or even just “dressing up” a bit more than everyone else).

Fat = Out of Shape Yes, absolutely, many fat people are also out of shape couch potatoes. But so are a lot of skinny people. And fat people absolutely can be athletic – go google “fat athletes” for several lists of them if you don’t believe me! Sure, you probably won’t find a ton of fat long-distance runners, but you’ll definitely find plenty of hefty weight lifters, fighters, folks with physical jobs, etc. A lot of super muscular people are also carrying extra fat, and that is in fact way more common and natural than the super-defined, well-cut muscles you see on TV. Keep that in mind the next time you’re writing an army of strong hand-to-hand combatants – they’re likely to be physically big, not in a bulging muscle He-Man way but more of an “absolute unit” way. Keep in mind, too, that even regular folks packing extra pounds will often tend to be a lot stronger (on account of spending every day carrying extra weight!) You can be fat and graceful, fat and strong, fat and with endurance. Just something to keep in mind.

Fat = Pig Pigs have a reputation for being huge, dirty, smelly, garbage-eating slobby creatures, and “disgusting fat pig” and “porker” and their ilk have been insults against big people for a long time. Of course, in reality pigs are also super smart, highly social (and fucking terrifying) but that’s not usually waht gets invoked when people think of them! Really, avoiding animal language when talking about people is often a good idea (since animal comparisons can be dehumanizing), but if you are going to evoke an animal, go with something else. Like a seal (super cute, very graceful in its natural environment) or a bear (big and solid and intimidating) or a bull elk (thick and majestic).

Fat = Ugly Fat people can be beautiful. I mean, sure, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and inner beauty is a thing and all that – but that’s not what I’m talking about. I mean that fat bodies are great! They’re warm and soft and huggable. They’re big and solid and comforting. They can be strong and protective. They can be super-feminine and curvy. Cute as a button or powerful and demanding with their presence.

Obviously dismantling fatphobia is a whole big (ha, ha) topic all on its own, and there’s a ton more to think about. But this is at least something to get you started!

Context matters a whole lot in description – words can be positive or negative based on how they’re utilized! But these are at least some terms intended to be a bit less loaded with negative baggage than those often used in less flattering descriptions.

Have you read a book with a fat character who had a great or interesting description? Please reblog, I’d love to see how other authors have handled it!

Athena Worship

I have seen many blogs and people who worship different Greek gods and it is great that they share their experiences with everyone else. But what about Athena? I have not found any information about her, I asked her in a prayer to guide me and until now with her symbols I have been able to collect all this information. Athena is the goddess of military strategy, but do not compare her with Ares, she knows when to stop or when it is necessary to fight. It also represents crafts and knowledge. She is an excellent protector, and you can always ask her for knowledge. She was the protector of many heroes, gave them the strength to fight for their ideals. If you show her courage and are not afraid of the hardships she faces in life, rest assured that she will be proud of you.

What can I put on my altar?

Besides that you can put a small statue that represents it, you can also join the symbols of the snake and the owls, that represent their wisdom.

You can put a little olive oil to decorate your altar.

Crystals and herbs that represent protection and wisdom.

golden and red candles! They are her favorite colors. It may seem a little like Christmas, but concentrate on knowing how to combine them.

Offerings:

Crafts! Like origami, papercraft, cards, sewing or anything else you can do on your own with your hands. Even paintings and drawings.

Olives and olive oil.

Any type of food, formerly sacrifices were made in her name but now you can just leave her some cookie or whatever you want. If you share with her, she will thank you.

Prayers:

You can ask for strength to overcome a situation where you feel you have to fight for something. Something with friends, family or whatever kind of weight you have on top of and you need to fight for it.

Ask for knowledge for important exams.

Ask for her presence when you need creativity in crafts and then show her and thank her! She will be proud of you for putting all your effort into that.

You can always ask for clues or inspiration, she is very generous with the signs.

Personal experience:

The first time I spoke directly with her, I asked her for signs in dreams. They were dreams too heavy and full of symbols, I could hardly sleep but I felt rested.

Once I was desperate looking for my sketchbook, I could not find it anywhere. Internally I asked her to help me get it and I literally found it two seconds later where I never thought it could be.

When I feel fear for the presences in my home, it is enough to ask for strength to feel brave again. She reminds me that I am a hero, the hero of my own story and it helps me focus on myself.

Request your presence whenever I need to draw or work on something that requires creativity, makes me feel more agile.

While I write this I asked for your presence, it took a long time without making an offering for time problems and I wanted to write this for her. I hope it serves you and share it!

Hoping this help you!
