concept: a whole fic where one of the characters is a food blogger and it’s formatted like online recipes
the whole story is told in through the prologues before you actually get to the recipe, so you’ll have someone telling you about their wild night or meet cute or whatever else and then out of nowhere go anyway here’s some brownies

Okay real talk how do you get your pinch pots so smooth???? Mine always end up vaguely lumpy looking
First off, I love the pinch-pot texture & don't think that pots need be lump-free! I just have a surface-refining problem that cannot be reeled in. Also, my pots definitely still have some pinchy texture™ (that just doesn't come through as much in photos), but my tricks for a smoother surface are as follows:
- Don't try to do all the pinching while the clay is softer. I like to rough out the form, then leave it to firm up a bit (nowhere near leather hard, but like...tip of nose texture maybe?? Around there?!). This makes it easier to do detail work on the walls without risking losing the shape as the clay won't squish as easily.
- Once the walls are the ideal thickness, I use wood tools with flat bits and/or a rounded wooden rib to smooth the outer walls more (by drawing the tool up from the bottom to the top of the piece). This irons out the bigger lumps & also has the bonus effect of compressing the walls, which can prevent cracking! For the inside, I get a firm sponge in there & smooth away (making sure the sponge isn't too wet, as I don't want to make it goopy!).
- I also sometimes trim things a bit (just on my banding wheel, as I don't have a motorized wheel) but only with wooden tools (like this one), as without a motorized wheel it's harder to use circular momentum to trim smoothly.
- FINALLY (how do these always turn into essays?!), I burnish!! Mostly because I don't usually glaze the outside of my vessels, so smoothing the surface makes them nicer to hold, but it does smooth out the pinched pieces a lot. I just use a cheapo tbsp measuring spoon & gently run it in circular movements over the leather hard piece. It's a really soothing activity!
I hope this was helpful!
Yes this was very helpful thank you!!!

I'm using this as a reaction pic now btw
gotham is exactly the right amounts of wet and socioeconomically unstable to have spawned an INSANE grunge scene you just know their local shit is like the sonic equivalent of getting hit over the head with a car battery
bruce wayne has his finger on the pulse of gotham's underground music scene he's like "listen to this" and he puts on a cassette he bought for $10 from a guy under a bridge and its like 90 minutes of some guy crooning in a flooded warehouse with a guitar amp they found in the river and there's active gunfire in the background of half the songs
gotham grunge band "arkham fire" debut album "DYING ALL THE TIME" becomes the world's first snuff record because their guitarist is killed by the joker in the middle of the fifth track and it is unequivocally considered their best song
schistcity and i have spent the last week designing and editing a music festival poster inspired by @lushloooser post about skrunkfest
IF YOU GUYS NEED ME FORGET ABOUT ME BECAUSE I’M GONNA DIE GRINDING ASS AT SKRUNKFEST

Wish Jangobi stuff would lean harder into “this would make Boba and Anakin siblings” because the idea of senior padawan/newly a knight anakin and bitchy kid Boba as annoyances and partners in crime to the detriment of both their guardians is so fucking funny
