i removed the peel from the red and yellow apple slices and cut flame shapes into em, then i cut a small slit into the back so i could stack the flames and insert em. if you then dunk it into cold water, the ears and fur tufts and flames will start curling up a bit if you cut them thin enough

i then made the ears and fur tufts at the back using a similar technique to when you make bunny apples, cutting just beneath the peel towards the head (stem end), and then carved out the rest of the body using those as reference points. i ended up using a paring knife and a toothpick for this

oh since some people asked me since there isn't a guide, i used granny smith and egremont russet apples for the main bodies, and gala and ambrosia for the flames. i cut em in eighths and put em in lemon water to stop browning. i then cut a piece off the blossom end so it could stand upright

side note but i have an alt @shimosleet.bsky.social where i post about boring real life and nerd stuff i'm interested in so i can keep this account solely selective to supreme shimo sillies

tbh, i think very few ppl would be interested in what i talk about there so don't worry about it

these guys just never sit still. this one landed close by and i thought i could get a good pic showing that red patch but instead he started yelling right as i took the pic and then went to chase some other bird away

and no, i have no clue why "guaiacol" was the first thing that popped into my head instead of something reasonable like "ice cream" or "extract"

but in any case, i think it's amazing to think about what kind of stuff our minds are doing that we aren't consciously aware of

then one by one, each step of my thought processes just kinda clicked in my head

"it's a phenolic compound"
"it's used for synthesizing stuff like vanillin"
"wait... vanilla..."

and i scrolled back up and noticed some post that used the word "vanilla" in it

so i was mindlessly scrolling through my bsky feed and suddenly the word "guaiacol" popped into my head and wouldn't go away

and i was very confused because i couldn't remember what it meant or why i thought of it
