fandomhigh | Nightmare Party Planning from the Mid-Century; Tuesday, Third Period [08/20].

This week, there was plenty of things in front of Summer at the front of the class, but no cloches. Rather, it was all the stuff that tended to make the things that usually went under those cloches: boxes of gelatin powders, copious jars of mayonnaise and marshmallow fluff, packages of hot dogs and bologna, bags of pretzel sticks, cans of tuna fish and Spaghetti-O's and Spam, bottles of ranch dressing and ketchup. Basically all the pantry staples of your most Mid-Western, Mid-Century household worth its salt and ridicule.

(And, good lord, was there a lot of salt represented on this table!)

And Summer, of course, beamed at everyone.

"In the grand tradition of final classes," she announced, "today, we're focusing on you and what you've learned and your own creative pursuits. We have, hopefully, everything we need for you to create your own Mid-Century Nightmare Party Monstrosity here in this very classroom today and that is your assignment here today. Get creative, get weird, get gross...or I guess you could swing for the fences and give us something actually shockingly magnificent out of these offered ingredients, but, whatever you do, I want it to wow me in some way, you know? Show me if I've managed to twist your brain just a little bit more toward the terrible these past seven weeks.

"Bonus points, as always, for presentation, even more if you tie it to a whole terrible theme that your creation will be taking center stage for with your presumed party. You'll have most of the class to work on it, and then we'll use the last few minutes to present your creations. You're pretty much on your own, but if you have any questions or need help, I'll see what I can do."

Ready for a top-tier Mid-Century Nightmare Party!

Stewart

Stark

Steve Rogers

Listen to the instructions. Ask your questions. Start brainstorming how to--oh, shit, is that Tang??

Ingredients are, as always, vast and moddable, but the more classic kitschy mid-century you get with it, the better! Try to come up with something interesting and fun to bring to your party, and let's see how it passes the test of the woman who has put so many unimaginable things in jello with alcohol before.

Who wouldn't want a bologna cake? Always a favorite ~~if you were broken~~! Steve made a bologna cake, then spent the rest of the class stabbing chunks of cheese and Spam into a grapefruit for, you know, that centerpiece appeal.

There was a reason Tony hired caterers. Just saying.

Stark was spoiled for choice here. On the one hand he could go Full Gross, which would be entertaining and probably please the instructor.

On the other hand he could try and make something good. Maybe something with the marshmallow fluff and the Tang...

She might be a little distracted with some texting that morning, but she's there! And she'd be so proud if everyone made something she'd refuse to eat, but also she'd be intrigued if anyone made something she would actually eat!
