Aug 10th (Day 6): Prompt Used- In Bloom / Blood
Day 6: Blood- Thaeril doesn’t make traditional food for non-Bosmer after being stung one too many times by the reaction to it and what it’s made from. But Ralof asks if she will, and she agrees to make something for him to try. Pre/Early relationship. Trying to think of interesting cuisine for Green Pact adherent Bosmer and different ideas for food.
(Note: the recipe used here is based on Sorpotel (Goan Pork Offal Stew), the Indian version of a Portuguese recipe, which uses blood and various offal in the way I thought would be interesting and make sense here. I’ve obviously tweaked things a bit, but kept the basic ingredients and methods of the dish. I have no idea if this version would actually work, but we’re assuming it will.)
Warnings- Blood (but we’re butchering/cooking, not fighting)

Ralof sat up gingerly, watching as Thaeril came in with a large, wild goat slung across her shoulders. She was grinning, her angular face lit up like a child in a sweets store.
“Look at this! We will eat like royalty tonight!” She cried. “It led me on a good chase, too. It was a good hunt.”
“Well you won’t see me complain.”
“I’ll roast it up.” She laughed, a little sadly. “I won’t do anything too… weird with it, don’t worry.”
Something twinged in Ralof’s chest. There was hurt behind her words, he was certain of it. “I’ve honestly never eaten anything made the proper Bosmer way. Would you… would you want to cook some of it the way your people would? I’d be interested to try it.”
“Really? Ohhh… I’d want to do something different than stew, then. I think I have some bone flour I could make flatbreads and then I should have enough spices to make a curry and… and that should be good?”
“That doesn’t sound ‘weird’ at all.”
“Would it make a difference if I said that the base for the sauce is blood?”

Religious art leaves out the best part and it’s such a goddamn shame.
Livestock, Agriculture and Food is an integral part of any culture and we all need to be pushing for more realistic sheep in religious art. #FATTAILSFORJESUS
“How think ye? If a man have a hundred sheep and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains and listen for the clappeth of it’s itinerant cheeks?” - Matthew 18:12, the bible
I made this post a long time ago and never posted the follow up post, so here it is. Additional info on Fat tail sheep
Fat tailed sheep is not a single specific breed of sheep. It’s a catchall word like “Health care worker”.
There’s tons and tons of different breeds.
They all store fat in their tails, but fall into two main categories: WIDE tails and LONG tails
Wide tails store fat in the rump area and have no visible tails.
Long tails store fat in the tail itself, which vary in length in different breeds.
In the olden days, people took pride in breeding sheep with the longest tail. They are not so popular today as it’s hard to find a decent tail cart on Amazon.
Speaking of Tail carts, they come in different styles and designs. We dont have any that are actually preserved, but old drawing of them show different wheels harnesses.
Some of them are literally just skateboards
Back in the day, breeding sheep with long dragging tails was all the rage.
Nowadays different tails types have been developed to prevent them from dragging their tails on the ground.
Such as the “folded tail” or the “Only fat at the base” Tail
Despite fat tail sheep being the most common sheep breeds in the world, most people in the west have never heard of them.
The West likes Wool Sheep. Fat tails are strictly meat sheep and have little useful wool. They also do poorly in colder climates
There’s a huge community of shepherds on youtube that script, choreograph and shoot elaborate videos for their sheep complete uplifting music to highlight their best qualities (for sale and stud) It is fantastic. Such as this one:
People kept bringing up Fat Bottomed Girls. Ya’ll are wrong. These are fat bottomed BOYS. Sheep are often continuously bred, so the females are constantly getting pregnant, giving birth and nursing.
That’s very hard on the body, so they can’t build up as much fat as the boys.
The fattest sheep, the ones with the truly VAST tails, rocking them little carts are ALWAYS males.
This is why the Bible specifically states that ONLY the rumps of the Males are to fit to be offered to the lord……
Picture: God desiring the tail
“And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat thereof, and the WHOLE rump” -Leviticus 3:9
I mean… look.
Arguably these are just minor details and doesnt matter….
But beyond it’s teachings the bible is also a work of literature about life in the ancient world. And on some level these kinds of small details bring a sort of richness to these depictions of real…
Ancient people bred out sheep with huge butts, took the largest sheep butts, set them on fire and prayed over the burning butt. It checks out.
An early art piece from my book Fyskar. Been a while since I went and played in Illustrator. Blame that on the wrist surgery. I miss doing this type of art. I think of it like designing paint by number. What do you think the style is?
Check my blog to read the story for free or get the link to the ebook where I have some 100+ art pieces I drew before writing it.
Got permission to post a batch of beautiful Httyd art from Sahba Setareh @ pestelence_art on Instagram! She does Httyd fanart, dinos, dragons, fantasy cityscapes, and sci-fi robot art.
Now that I have a frame for it, time to show off this spectacular piece of Predator art that now will be finding a home somewhere in our house, made by @lunaerebus ! When I saw this up for preorder on my dash, I knew we needed to have one. And it is STUNNING in person!
(Sorry for the glare, this is the best pic I could get)
