Do you have any truly unpopular Transformers opinions?

I don’t think I have any unpopular transformers opinions? Every debate I’ve been in has come from me talking about a very mundane aspect of the franchise/fandom, completely unaware of the massive landmine that’s been built under it in ways only fandoms can do.

Actually scratch that I do have one unpopular opinion and it's that T̴͓͎̕h̶̞͐͘è̶͎ ̴͓͒̕F̴̗́i̸̖̯͒̅ṫ̴͇n̷̤̫͂̿e̷̳͖͑̚s̷̨̿̂s̸͍̔G̶̩̳̚r̷̰̔͑à̵̛̹m̷̳̰̏́™̴̘̏ ̶͔͙̄P̵̧͌a̶͍̍̕č̸͈̞͠e̷̫͖͑r̵̙̱̀̕ ̷̜͒Ț̴̠̑̍é̷͎̺ś̶͚t̷̨̯̓ ̷͖̿͒i̶̢͊͠s̴͎̔̅ ̶̼̳̔a̴͈̭̽̇ ̴̄̿͜m̵͖̆ǘ̵̬ļ̸̞̇͠t̶͖͉̄i̴̧̼̐̎s̵̳͉͆͠t̵̙̖̀a̴͙̹̽͛g̷̜̖̅e̷͚̔͠ ̷͕͑a̸͚͠e̵̙̣͆̈́r̴̨̪͗̽ö̴̥̞́̈b̵̭̊̎ï̸̳ć̷͎ͅ ̷͇͔̅́c̶͚̄ả̶͙p̵̬̆ą̷̗̏͑ć̶̗i̴̙͔͌t̶̲̑ẙ̵̙̏ ̵͓̾t̵̯͊e̶̦͊ś̴͔̍t̶̳̄ ̷͍̀t̶̢̛̲h̴̜͋a̵͛͜͠t̵̞̤͊͝ ̴̯̒͘͜p̴̦͘r̶̮͗ò̷̮͠g̸̱̭̽̍r̶̡̯̊e̴͚̹͒ś̶̚͜s̷̺̦̓ȋ̵̘̭v̵͕̑ĕ̷̳͇l̶̢̝̕ẏ̶͈̭ ̶̳͔̒̾g̵̤̦͛ě̸͖͜t̷̪͌s̸̺̥̚ ̵̬̏͒m̸̭̓̇ǫ̵̭́̍r̴̥̘̈́e̷̬̟͊̄ ̸̝̿͋͜d̶̗́ḯ̴̢̾ͅf̸̮̔f̴̫͔͂̈́i̷͍̅c̶̱̗̋͠ǔ̷̹̯l̸̤̈́ṫ̸̡̾ ̴̀̇͜a̷̙̪͌͝s̵̩̈́͜ ̸̬͔̿ỉ̴̺̯ṱ̸̎͊ ̷̥̀͘c̸̡͍͌̃ò̶̫̠n̴̛̪͈̅ẗ̶͖́̄į̸͚̂̀n̴̤͝u̸̙̖̅̚ë̶̙́s̷͔̬͐.̷̹͂̇ ̷̬̈́̀T̸̖̒ͅh̵͇͛̀ȅ̴͚ ̷̟̅2̴̨͖̎͒0̶͎̩͌̚ ̶̼̖̄͆m̷̬̝̍ȅ̸̱̯t̶͖̮͐ē̸̜̱r̶̫͒́͜ ̷̫͌̑p̸͔͑͝a̴̟͋͆ͅc̴̙̓͂ȅ̶͉r̴̩͙͂͝ ̶̰̹̇̔t̵̗͛ͅé̸̖͔s̶̡͗͝ť̷͚ ̷̣̥͝w̴̪̼̏̓ȉ̶̯̤l̸̻̃̈l̶͎̓̒ ̷̧͎͒T̶̨́̄ḥ̵̉̐e̶͖̚ ̶͇̈́̏r̵̳̈́͝ȗ̵͚͉n̷̡̖͗n̶͎̒ì̴̗̅n̷̤̄g̴͕̮̉̒ ̶̢͎̈́s̷̝͝ṕ̵̤̙e̷̝̾e̶̺͖̅͌d̸̡̓ ̴͎͆s̴̭̊t̴̛̤̹̓à̴̝͎r̴̢̘̕ṭ̴̗̏́s̴̝̼̊̎ ̶̳̰̽̌ș̵͈̋͗l̵̡̛o̸͍͇͋ẉ̵̆l̴̄͝ͅy̵̪̎̆,̶̺̈́ͅ ̶̝̜̓͗b̴̢͒͘ụ̴͛̈́t̶̳́͝ͅ ̶̪͐̅ġ̶̪̥e̷̡͆̍t̶̬͠͝s̸͇͠ ̵̙͝f̵̱͚͛a̴̻̔s̸͚̯͗̌ẗ̴̰̙͛e̸͇̤̓̏r̷͉̈́̕ ̵̲̾̒e̴̗͑͛a̵̺̤͋c̶̛̭h̵̭�� ̴̝͛́ͅm̶͔̊i̸͕͐̑n̷͚̓u̶̡̲͌ẗ̷̗́ē̶̺ ̵͈̞̚a̴̛̮f̴̡̛ͅt̵̯̆ͅe̶̫̚r̸̝̉͊ ̶̩̱́̈́y̴̞͚̑͝o̸̬̿ű̶̖ ̶̢̝̒͋h̸̟̘͂e̸̤̒͛a̶̹̘̒͐r̸͎͠ ̷̧̦̎̈t̷͎̀ḧ̸̡́ì̵̫͕s̸̠̗̀ ̵̫̯̍̚s̵̢̮̅i̶̛̼̓g̸̢̔̇n̸̟̾a̸̙͖͂̂l̶͉͚̈́.̷͈̆ ̷̱̗͔̝͋͗̈́̇b̶̢̗͙͓̈́͑͌̒e̶̼̤̳͉̘͑̚g̵̳̋͗͘i̵̡͇̳̝͂̀n̵̨̰͕͔̂̒̆ ̶̮̐̓͑i̶̡̹̠͙͝n̸̨̖̈́̚ ̷͉̹̽̈́͘̕͜3̶͕͓̲̉̽̉̈́0̶̗͓͔̮̼̽̍͐ ̵̖̙͛͗͆͘̚transformers is not a political allegory

Author's Note: We are so close to the end. I already want to get to the grand finale, but I can only write one chapter at the time. uwu Thanks for all the support so far!

Btw I made a PLAYLIST

“Salmon or hake?” I wondered as I compared the two frozen fish. I was in the frozen section of the best supermarket in the city.  My exposed skin was cold by being exposed to the bed of ice and near the refrigerators full of snacks and fast foods. The nerves in my hands were beginning to tighten from holding the frozen packages for too long.

Ladies slowly dragging their carts through the white aisles, children crying to their mothers who already want to go home and the employees running from side to side behind me. The popular music framed my thoughts as I read the nutritional facts for each product, focusing on the grams of protein. Since I was in charge of cooking for Sukuna’s birthday, I had to choose the best products to make him the best dinner he ever had

Salmon has 20 grams of protein, 13 grams of fat and zero carbohydrates. In addition to its contribution of Omega-3, for high-performance athletes it is the ideal fish to eat, since it has a very good ratio of proteins and healthy fats. If I baked it in the oven, I was sure it would be delicious. The only problem? The famous mercury. Although, according to some studies, it is true that salmon is the fish that contains the least amount. Hake is usually its alternative, which has less fat, but the same or more amount of protein, also it digests better.

“Salmon has more potassium, selenium, and vitamin B12." A female voice interrupted my mental debate.

My eyes widened when I saw the beauty next to me. A thin and tall blonde woman. Her blonde hair was long and her bangs looked great on her. His thin eyebrows framed her big brown eyes. His tight-fitting black turtleneck shirt and high-waisted pants made her look phenomenal. It was like admiring a beautiful porcelain statue, you could easily get lost in the details of her person.

"Oh, thanks. Are you a nutritionist or something like that?” I asked curiously as I returned the hake to the bed of ice.

"I'm a jiu-jitsu coach. I never thought I would meet the Medusa Snake in a supermarket,” she joked.

I should have seen it before. Her physical build was magnificent for a jiu-jitsu fighter. Her arms were perfectly toned, and his long legs could knock down any rival with one kick. I started to envy her body.

"I was told you were Ryomen's coach, I see that you are… very close," she said as she looked directly at the bracelet that Sukuna had given me earlier this morning. That was strange.

"It is a complicated task, but I think that every day we understand each other more," I answered honestly.

"I wanted to be his coach, you know?” she told me as if nothing had happened.

Something in me set off a warning alarm. I could sense that this conversation had a double intention. Was she threatening my position? Did she know that I wouldn't be Sukuna's coach anytime soon? Was she just trying to have a nice conversation in the middle of the frozen section? She was a beautiful woman to admire, but I didn't like where this was going.

"Who are you?" I asked confused, completely breaking the flow of the conversation.

"My name is Yuki Tsukumo," she introduced herself with a smile. “This is the Yuki who sent the bracelet to Sukuna!” I thought, trying not to reflect surprise on my face, but I'm not sure if I did it. “I see he received my gift, it's a shame he didn't want to use it."

"Sukuna doesn't like receiving gifts, that's why he gave it to me,” I answered, my tone sounding more defensive than I intended.

"Thank goodness he didn't throw it in the trash," she said before taking the hake I left. "I hope he doesn't throw you away either." With that threat, she walked away, getting lost in the cereal aisle.

I just saw the beautiful woman swinging her hips away, like a poisonous viper with beautiful colored scales. I couldn't help but see the gold bracelet that rested delicately on my wrist. My gaze hyperfixed on the letters engraved on it, wondering what kind of relationship this strange woman had with Sukuna. I put the salmon in my basket and continued with my shopping in an attempt to forget the unusual conversation.

After paying for the salmon and the rest of the ingredients I would use for the special dinner, my phone started ringing. I arranged the plastic bags in one hand to get my phone out of my pants. It was Yuuji.

"Hello, Y/n!" His friendly voice sounded from the other side. "Do you have any plans for tonight?"

"Not really. I am only going to make Sukuna’s dinner for his birthday,” I answered as I walked back home.

"Cancel that. My parents just invited me and my brothers to dinner at the restaurant they just opened in the bay.” I stopped dead and sighed. “The salmon will have to wait until tomorrow.” "Do you have a pretty dress?" he wondered out of nowhere.

"Why you ask?". I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I asked my parents if you could come. When they found out you were Sukuna's friend, they said yes.”

"Why did you do that?" I asked him, even more confused. This couldn't be good.

"Because Choso is going, duh," he answered as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

Because I was thinking about Sukuna 24/7, I had completely forgotten about Choso's existence. Yuuji still doesn't know that I like his other brother now. Plus, his parents will be there. Oh no, this can't be happening. This would be a disaster, I could sense it. Did I really have to go? My feelings churned in my chest the further I walked down the sidewalk. I stopped when I reached the crosswalk. The traffic light was red.

"I don't think this is a good idea..."

"Don't say that! It's the perfect opportunity for Choso to see you slay like the queen you are,” Yuuji lifted my spirits that I was dragging on the ground.

"Hang up the phone now!" I heard Gojo yell at him from a distance, Yuuji was still be in the gym, training with Sukuna.

"See you in the afternoon," he said goodbye before hanging up.

The light turned green, but I still couldn't cross. I stood frozen on the sidewalk, stunned by the unusual invitation. I felt lost. I didn’t know what to do. I wanted to go because I really like hanging out with the boys, but I was afraid to find out what my true feelings were for Choso and Sukuna. Also, I raised Choso’s hopes up. What if I didn’t like him anymore because I liked Sukuna? Thai was a mess. 

The traffic light turned red again. Why was I questioning my feelings for Choso? It's true that I liked Sukuna, but I liked Choso the moment I saw him. Sukuna had been an acquired taste from the times we've slept together. The gifts and me living with him seemed to have no meaning to him. I was in a dangerous situation, and he just wanted to protect me, right? Everything was so confusing. Maybe if I was to go to dinner, I had to find out what my true feelings were.

The traffic light turned green again.

After picking my outfit, an everything shower and doing my makeup, I was ready. It had been a long time since the last time I dressed up like a fine lady for dinner. I always have to wear sporty clothes due to work. Putting on a cute pink dress and applying a small wing eyeliner made me feel like a pretty princess. I brushed my hair in front of my large bathroom mirror while my stomach churned nervously. Seeing myself so different from how I normally look was like seeing an old friend I hadn't seen in years. As I put the brush back in its place, I noticed that I still had Sukuna's bracelet on my wrist. 

“I don't think it's a good idea to wear it today,” I thought aloud before taking it off and putting it in a jewelry box.

I went down to the entrance at the time Sukuna and I had agreed to leave. My heels echoed with every step I took. I already wanted him to see me as “the queen” that I am, Yuuji's words. I went downstairs with every intention of surprising him, but I was the one who ended up surprised. He was already there, fixing his elegant suit in front of the mirror. I never thought I'd see a man like Sukuna, who always dresses in T-shirts and shorts, wearing a sharp black suit with an ivory turtleneck sweater. This was not the cranky man I coach, this was a millionaire man with a mobster vibe straight out of a romance novel written by a woman. From the shine on his shoes to his well-groomed hair, Sukuna looked like the jackpot. 

“You look... different,” he said as he analyzed my whole body. “Of course I look different! What kind of compliment is that?!” I thought annoyed. 

“You look different too.” I told him reluctantly. 

“Are you ready to go?” He asked. I just nodded excitedly before following him out the door. 

In the nighttime tapestry of the city, the bright lights painted a surreal panorama. The asphalt shone like an ebony river, reflecting the headlights of passing cars like wandering fireflies. The city had an air of mystery and adventure. Tokyo was a place where anything could happen, where dreams came true and nightmares lurked in the shadows. The steering wheel turned under my fingers like a rudder guiding a ship through a sea of ​​metal. The roar of the engine was a discordant symphony that echoed in the silence of the night.

“How did training with Gojo go?” I asked him to get a topic of conversation.

"Everything was going well until I had to train again with the useless rookies,” he muttered in annoyance, gripping the steering wheel firmly. "Have you thought about who your replacement will be?" He asked.

"I have a few candidates in mind,” I answered. "In fact, a coach approached me when I went to the market, but she didn't give me a good vibe.”

"Why?" he asked, curious.

"I think you already know each other."

"What's her name?”

"Yuki Tsukumo." Sukuna braked the car in its tracks, making us bounce in our seats. Thank God we had our seat belts on. If we hadn’t, I would have slammed into the glass. "What the fuck is wrong with you?!" I exclaimed with my heart in my hand.

Sukuna didn't answer me. He squeezed the steering wheel, clearly annoyed, to park next to the curb. He took off his seatbelt to lean back on the steering wheel. Who was this Yuki Tsukumo that could make Sukuna act like this? An ex-partner? Impossible, Yuuji told me that he has never had a girlfriend. Someone he slept with in the past? I don't blame him, she's beautiful.

"You better not tell Choso or Yuuji that you ran into he," he told me after letting out a long sigh.

"Why not? Is there something I should know?” I asked him confused with the whole situation.

"She is Choso's ex-fiancée,” he answered before holding his forehead in concern.

"Oh…” I could not believe it.

Sukuna POV

I couldn't believe this blonde bitch had shown up again. Finally, when we had all left her in the past, she decided to come back for more. I clearly remembered the first time I saw that stupid girl smiling from cheek to cheek as if she were a pure soul. Choso looked so happy and proud to introduce her as his future wife. Poor asshole, he didn't know what he was getting into... and neither did I.

He still vividly remembered the night where everything turned into a shit show. The UFC had paid me the best suite in Las Vegas for my first championship fight. Sometimes I closed my eyes to return to that majestic place. Admiring the Strip, a glittering ribbon of casinos, hotels, and attractions that never sleeps, Paris's iconic Eiffel Tower twinkling with a thousand lights, and the High Roller Ferris wheel rising above the horizon like a giant lighthouse. I fucked a prostitute in the middle of the wide balcony, enjoying the panorama that stretched out in front of me.

"Sukuna!" The whore screamed my name desperately.

My hips didn't stop pounding into ramming her. Her tits were bouncing in my face and her legs were spread across the couch. I opened her ass to reach the deepest part of her being. He had paid a good amount for her, he was willing to destroy her physically and emotionally. I pulled her hair while my cock hit her cervix, her limit. I was so close to reaching the climax, ensuring my future victory... but some idiot had to ring the bell at that moment.

I was so close that I didn't care that the person would stay outside all night. I didn't care if it was Choso, Gojo, Yuuji or my parents. I was very busy. The idiot didn't seem to want to understand that I wasn't going to open it, so he kept insisting on the fucking doorbell. Ding-dong. Ding-Dong. Ding-fucking-Dong. The annoying sound made me lose concentration.

"Fuck!" I screamed before pulling my cock out of the whore. She sighed in annoyance, plopping down on the couch. "Hide in the closet or something, I'm not done with you." I told her before wrapping a towel around my hips.

"I'm going to charge you extra!" She yelled at me before following my instruction.

I straightened my towel before reluctantly opening the door. In front of me was the last person I thought I would meet. It was Yuki, Choso's guest. What the fuck was she doing here at midnight? Especially alone. From her pajamas and her slightly messy hair, I could tell she had escaped from the bed she shared with my younger brother.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked her, annoyed. "It better be important."

"I want to talk about business, can I come in?" she asked me with her usual flirtatious smile.

"No. Just tell me what you have to say so you can leave me alone,” I answered. I could already feel my balls turning blue.

"Do you kiss your mother with that filthy?" she joked.

"I'm not in the mood, spit it out before I slam the door in your face," I blurted out. It was the last warning I was going to give her.

"I noticed that you don't have a trainer who specializes in jiu-jitsu. I know you don't accept women in your gym, but if you allow me to be part of your team, I can…".

I couldn't help but laugh in her face, cutting her off completely. Did she just interrupt my good luck ritual to offer herself as my trainer? I knew she was a jiu-jitsu trainer at a local gym, but I never thought she had the balls to ask me to recruit her. Couldn't she do this another day or in the morning? Why right here when Choso is surely sleeping peacefully thinking that she is by his side? Was this shit serious? There were so many questions about her behavior that I could only laugh.

"I don't see what's funny about it," Yuki said, crossing her arms.

"Then you have a terrible sense of humor," I answered. "Is that all you have to tell me?"

"I'm sure I'm a better fighter than you, I could kick your ass if I wanted to," she said annoyed.

"I want to see you try," I said. “She wouldn't dare,” I thought for sure.

Well, she dared. She attacked me by surprise with a kick to the abdomen. I lowered my arm, preventing it from connecting completely, but it did hit my side. I couldn't defend myself well while just having a towel on. One wrong move and I was already naked. I backed away out of inertia, allowing her to enter the suite. She jumped at me to continue hitting me.

"Bitch!" I screamed while covering my private parts.

"I'm going to show you that you need me on your team!" she shouted with a smile on his face.

"I don't want anyone else on my team!" I exclaimed.

How the hell did we get to this situation? I wasn't sure, but I had to do something about it. She pulled and punched me, trying to take me down like any jiu-jitsu fighter would do. She launched another kick at me, this time I evaded it in time, but she broke a lamp in the process. I was debating in my mind whether I should knock her out with one punch. I could not do it. Even though she was crazy, she was Choso's fiancée. My first option was to call one of my brothers or someone saner.

"Just think about it seriously, with my brain and your muscles I could make you a millionaire in less than you think," she told me excitedly.

So she was after the money. Which is normal… but that didn't explain why she was acting so secretive. Why didn't she tell Choso he wanted a job on the Team Black? There was something else she wasn't telling me. I entered the master bedroom as quickly as possible without exposing my cock to grab the phone, but she ended up cornering me against the closet before I could get to it. At the sudden knock, the prostitute screamed.

"Who is it?" Yuki asked me confused.

"I didn't know he had a wife!" The whore screamed opening the closet door. “Oh no,” I thought. "Please don't hit me!" The poor girl yelled as she fled the scene.

"Hey! We're not done yet!” I yelled.

And as if fate was mocking me, I dropped the towel. I was in the middle of a teenager's worst nightmare. Yuki shamelessly looked down, making this more awkward than it already was. By this point I was praying that this was a bad taste prank. I just wanted Yuuji or Gojo to come into the room with a camera in hand, mocking my reaction, but that never happened.

"Nice girl you hired," she laughed at me. And just when I thought this was only going to get worse, I heard the voice of my potential savior.

"Sukuna!" I heard Choso's voice from the door as he rang the doorbell as if his life depended on it.

"You worried your future husband," I told her before pushing her to let go, so I could put the towel back on.

"Hire me or I'll tell Choso I cheated on him with you," Yuki threatened me.

"What?!" I asked him, frowning at the tremendous bullshit she just said.

That's when it hit me. Yuki came to ask me for a job without Choso because she is only with him for convenience. She's only with him to blatantly get close to me. Since I don't accept women in the gym, this was his solution to get to me. I should have seen it before. I remember how at dinner with our parents he spent the time talking about jiu-jitsu and the UFC, sharing his extensive knowledge on the subject. Everyone was delighted with her, but she drove me crazy. 

"Are you that desperate for money?" I asked him, not believing what was happening.

"You don't have much time,” Yuki crossed her arms as the ringing continued.

"Sukuna!" Choso exclaimed again.

"I trust Choso, he is not stupid enough to fall for something like that."

End of Sukuna POV

"Choso was stupid enough to fall for that,” Sukuna blurted out after recounting the tragedy that happened that day. "He knew about my lucky ritual and to this day he still thinks I fucked his fiancée," he said as he looked towards the car in front of us.

I was just listening to him while Sign Of The Times by Harry Styles was playing on the radio. We were still parked so that Sukuna could tell me in great detail what had happened with Yuki and Choso. It was a hard story to believe. A woman interrupting his suite in the middle of his lucky ritual and then threatening to break off his relationship with his brother over a measly coaching job is not something you hear every day.

"I tried to explain to him several times what happened, but he never wanted to listen to me. Then he told Yuuji and since that idiot doesn't know how to shut up, everyone in the gym knows,” he explained. "It's an absurd story, I know, but…".

"I believe you," I told him before he could finish his sentence.

"You do?" he looked at me, confused.

"Why are you surprised? I believed you when you told me about your lucky ritual.” I said. "Is it a strange story? Yes, but we are a team. If you tell me the sky is pink, I believe you. If you tell me that pigs fly, I believe you. If you tell me that Yuki Tsukumo is a son of a bitch, I'll believe you.”

Sukuna smiled at my response. He looked relieved, as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders. I smiled back at his reaction. Sukuna always has been honest with me, I had no reason to doubt him. Even though I had little time left as his coach, I planned to continue by his side. I don't know if it was the sad story or my feelings towards him got in the way that made me take off my seat belt to reach him. He didn't know what exactly was going through his mind, but whatever it was, he needed a hug.

My body felt light when he reciprocated the gesture. Our bodies melted in the warmth of the moment. His hands traveled down my back to press me closer to his broad chest. I would have liked to stop time to stay here all my life. Maybe Sukuna didn't like me back, but I knew I someone important to him, and I was happy with that.

The luxurious restaurant at the Grand Palace Hotel had an elegant atmosphere with high ceilings, panoramic windows and sparkling chandeliers. Sukuna and I made our way among the tables covered with white tablecloths and velvet chairs that invited guests to delight in an exquisite menu. In the distance, we saw his family. They were happy to see us, but they were also clearly disappointed for arriving 20 minutes late. Everyone looked elegant and sophisticated, especially Choso. He always looked good, but today he looked phenomenal in his gray suit and white shirt. He greeted me with a smile on his face as soon as we approached the table.

"You look beautiful,” he complimented me. My heart skipped a beat with happiness. “Are you watching, Sukuna? This is how you give a compliment,” I thought with blushing cheeks.

"I thought I raised you to always be on time," the mother scolded Sukuna.

According to Yuuji, Kaori Itadori was a highly sophisticated and strict mother. She has always focused on giving his children the best education so that they would grow up to be strong men and providers. An extremely traditional and Catholic woman. She sounded like the worst mother-in-law you could have.

"There was a lot of traffic," Sukuna answered reluctantly as we sat at the table.

Choso helped me, pulling my chair like a perfect gentleman. I was so nervous having him so close, since Yuuji gave me his seat, so I could sit next to him. My mind was at peace realizing that I still liked Choso a lot.

"At this time? The report says that the streets are quite clear,” his mother challenged him.

"Honey, it was only 20 minutes. You're going to scare his girlfriend away,” her husband, Jin Itadori, told her. He was like any dad, pretty chill and care free. 

"She is not my girlfriend. She's my coach,” Sukuna clarified, starting to get annoyed.

"But you live together," his mother said.

"You live together?" Choso asked me confused. “Oh no,” I thought. I had barely arrived, and I already wanted to go home. I had a feeling this woman was going to try to embarrass me in any way possible the rest of the evening.

"It is a long story," I said, trying to cut the tension.

"You see, Sukuna kicked his ex's ass. This ex almost raped her in the past, so Sukuna offered her to live with him so she would feel safe,” Yuuji explained the situation.

"Yuuji!" Sukuna and I scolded him.

"I'm just trying to help!" Yuuji defended himself.

I wanted to die. Yuuji just told the whole table my life trauma as if it were the plot of a movie he watched on Netflix. I hid in my hands from shame, praying that the earth would swallow me whole.

"I'll take a smoking break," Choso said before getting up from the table to retreat to the balcony.

"Is it necessary to ask those kinds of questions now?" Sukuna asked his mother, already annoyed.

"You know what I think about concubinage," His mother reproached him, disappointed.

"We're not a couple. We just work together.” Sukuna rolled his eyes.

"Besides, Y/n likes Choso, don’t you?" Yuuji asked me to make his mother stop bugging me with questions about my relationship with her son.

"I need fresh air," I excused myself to get out of there as quickly as possible.

I knew this was a bad idea from the start. I should have said no to Yuuji. I went out to the balcony to breathe deeply and admire the view of the city. I looked at Choso to explain what was happening. I found him smoking on the other side of the balcony, just as he had told us. He looked so elegant and mysterious in front of the pretty city lights. A beautiful contrast between brightness and darkness.

"Long time no see," I greeted him, approaching him.

"Does Sukuna treat you well?" He asked me, ignoring my greeting. It seemed like being straightforward ran in the family.

"I can not complain," I answered honestly. "Sometimes he's a jerk, but you already know that," I joked. He smiled with the cigarette between his lips.

"I know… very well," he said as he blew the smoke into the wind, being careful not to blow the smoke in my face.

"Does it bother you that I live with him?" I asked him worried.

"Of course not, I just didn't expect it," he answered. "Yuuji told me that you're going to quit soon, is that true?" I was happy to see that he was treating me as always.

"That's right, I'm very excited to return to the gym with my team," I explained with a smile.

Choso despite having some similarities with Sukuna, he was so kind in comparison. His voice was sweet, his touch was pleasant, and his words filled me with joy. My heart moved every time he spoke to me. In the end, I realized that I still liked him, and I was very happy that it was that way. He was my ideal man.

"Are you still thinking about calling me when you become the protector again?" He wondered with a thread of hope. My cheeks blushed redder as I listened. I had already forgotten what I had said to him that night at the bar.

"You know it," I answered him with a smile.

were you truly mentally prepared for what would unfold in hotarubi? it couldn't be any worse than having a gun to your head right? despite the late hour, it's nearly impossible to get what taiga said out of your mind.

there's a mole.

but why would there be a mole at darkwick? who would it be? someone you know? a friend? how does taiga even know this?

there's officially too much on your mind to get any sleep.

yawning, you turn over to pull your phone off the charger. it was cute with an adapter shaped like a cat paw. the smile kaito wore as he handed it to you was full of pride. he said he got it "just because". it was clearly a lie after luca suggested it was consolation for skipping out on training but it's funny remembering how red he got afterwards. it was a sweet gesture but how does he expect to pay off his debt if he keeps buying things "just because".

the screen lights up and after blinking away tears from the initial brightness you read the time. ten minutes after midnight. maybe there's something interesting on wickchat? there wasn't a lot of time to check during the last mission.

eventually you make it to your messages. only a select few people are active due to the late hour and kaito is one of them. you can see him typing in your group chat. the one he made after the mission in frostheim. you temporarily left the chat while talking with taiga. although, in all honesty, trying not to get killed by taiga would fit better. you had texted him more than 10 minutes before you came to his room. yet still a gun was pointed to your head for the third (maybe fourth, you were losing track) time that week.

with complete and utter seriousness he claimed he "didn't know any honor student".

how many times did he expect you to introduce yourself exactly? you considered being a smartass and just saying a fake name. instead you decided to move, slowly so you didn't set him off, and show the texts.

suddenly the blonde started spamming the group chat in all caps, lighting up your phone with vibration after vibration. something about getting his point across to that dumbass, who you're assuming is probably luca. in hindsight, you could've just turned notifs off but when taiga was clearly starting to get pissed off you went with the quickest option. upsetting the guy with a machine gun for a special artifact isn't exactly at the top of your to-do list.

( #1 peekaboo fan )

im surprised to see luca up this late

the conversation comes to an abrupt halt. three dots circle at the bottom of your screen followed by a cat emote waving hi.

( kaito ✮ )

hiii : D

i added you back earlier btw i dunno why you left but it was probably an accident right??

wait sorry did i wake u up

mb 💔💔

( Lucas Errant )

I suppose it is a bit strange, yes? My conversation with Kaito must have made me lose track of time haha

( #1 peekaboo fan )

( #1 peekaboo fan )

I'm really interested in the culture. In the U.K I took horseback riding lessons but I've never seen any other farm animals in person.

( #1 peekaboo fan )

JK JK

gn

an emote of a cat waving goodbye signifies the end of the conversation. that's that you suppose. haru wouldn't mind right? he did really need the help. he's impressively good at what he does but you can't help but feel that he overexerts himself. maybe before you go you should text him to—

"meoww!!"

you nearly jump out of your skin. below you a soft yet prickly sensation is revealed to be a cat, pawing at your leg. the cute little thing is an orange cat with light spots along it's body and tail. as soon as your attention is fully away from your phone it jumps on your leg making you laugh.

it makes no complaints as you scoop it into your arms and cradle it close. it's a bit surprising to see one of the campus cats being so cuddly. they're friendly but very independent as chancellor cornelius had said. most of them don't linger for long, always busy with something else. this one is is a bit smaller though so maybe it was still new to the school.

the vibrant orange of it's coat of fur is reminiscent of the cat who fixed your window. where did that one go off too?

you finally lay down for the night. the warmth from your new companion lulling you to sleep as he settled on top of your chest.

in the morning you'd call haru to let him know you'd found some extra help.

[toshio]

I wanna get even half the chest and body that you have. I know you said you basically just did push ups so I was wondering if you had any specifics. How often? How many?

Gonna use you as inspiration lmao

hey anon! i know it sounds CRAZY simple but yeah. literally just push ups at home on your carpet or hard wood floor will DO IT. whatever you find comfortable. i think pecs are SURPRISINGLY easy to get, and gay men and straight women love a nice set of boobies on a man, they really give you that "macho" look LOL so definitely try for it. you can probably get some smol but fierce tiddies in about a year.

gonna do a [read more] so i can yap to you in full detail:

if you're a complete beginner, start with like 10 push ups, if you think that's nothing and you're not fatigued yet, do more than that, like 20. keep doing that until you can do an insane amount of push ups and then stop when you start getting tired/failure. do that daily. the more the better. you can take some rest days, on those days you can like walk or jog or something to get more lean. if you consider yourself slightly overweight, definitely walk/jog daily.

and when you do push ups, make sure they're not half assed. like, when you see that skinny guy in your gym class going REALLY fast but stupidly out of form, that's probably doing nothing but injuring him LOL. go on youtube or look up an article about push ups, there are lots of evidence that prove you can get boobies with them. i learned pretty much everything from online btw, go on youtube and just look up how to get pecs at home if you're too cheap for a gym membership (like me. i don't have a gym membership)

here's a random image i found on google, don't worry about any of this other stuff in the picture for now. just do regular push ups for now and you should have results. but another thing i'm leaving out is obviously you need to eat right. try to eat like 0.7-0.8 grams of protein per pound of body weight. some protein rich foods you can eat are stuff like chicken/beef/pork/fish daily (with rice) or low fat greek yogurt, beef jerky, and buy some protein shakes at the store. almost anything protein tastes nasty to me btw but beauty is pain.

also some life hacks because my fat ass (and lazy ass) loves fast food/eating out in general, go to panda express and just get a bunch of chicken and broccoli LOL that shit has so much protein and it tastes good. goddamn. basically just consume meat daily for gains.

also ONE more thing in terms of eating [moderately] healthy (i still don't eat healthy but i try) stop drinking soda, stop drinking alcohol, stop doing drugs, just drink nothing but water, green tea, any tea you want, just make sure it has no sugar. if you crave sugar, get diet soda like diet coke (it's 0 calories) but avoid drinking too much of that because aspartame.

THIS IS A LOT OF INFORMATION but i get asked about stuff like this a lot so hopefully this is enough. LOL. i'll get asked again probably haha but oh well. and again i'm not a fitness expert, just an enthusiast. good luck. remember anon, BEAUTY IS PAIN. and youth is only temporary, so you might as well look sexy before you get old.

[puckpocketed]

sharks to kings trade !!! your beloveds are sending penpals to each other in the form of players (-puckszone)

the Grundstrom for Burroughs Trade Vibe Check

HELLO beloved jane puckszone my pink scalloped hem my midnight candy gram my mist over still waters… thank you for stopping by i LOVE waking up to trade news in my inbox i LOVE that our california girls are having playdates . 🎶you can check out any time you like, but you can never leaaaveeee 🎶 <- type beat. about the California Swing; this big road trip every team gets subjected to multiple times each season on account of proximity, it used to be MISERABLE and FOUL because at one point we had 3 good teams !! i hope we get back to that one day 🥹🤲

Carl Grundstrom. CARL GRUNDOTHY …!!!!! I am genuinely VERY happy for him 😭💙 he was pushed out of the lineup during playoffs for some unfathomable reason (rat clenching fist of rage about it) . he’ll be getting more minutes on the Sharks GOD WILLING……. did you watch him at worlds? i did…!! i really liked his, idk what to call it, spirit??? like SORRY LAK but you may have fumbled a bad bitch… ough to see him benched and playing like 2 mins a night during playoffs… god he played one 25 second shift during one of those games and meanwhile they were double shifting our beautiful boy quinton byfield WHO WAS ILL BTW… i thought the kings needed grundy’s fighting spirit out there on the ice :(((

anyway adoption papers under the cut!!

Grundy for the Sharks moots:

We call him Grundy (me and you jane puckszone + the two skeletons and four moths on kingsblr) and i think i’ve seen Jim Hiller call him Grunny? grundy sounds better to me so i use that <3

He’s a solid 4th liner i mean this in the best most complimentary way possible… he does SO well … throw him out there to rest your first line and the puck might just do good things!!! my defensively responsible little guy…!! like. i love hard workers they are so dear to me <3

Low key underrated shooter? mostly in that i don’t know if i ever saw him pass loooool but yeah no he has more goals than assists this past season like IF the puck is on his stick he WILL shoot it godbless !!

Perhaps on the Sharks he moves up the depth chart 😭👍 middle-six winger anyone…praying for his success so bad you don’t even KNOW

HITTER!! this boy is big and throws hits! Plays the body when defending, plays the body when forechecking <3. i love you grundy and so does the mike grier Size/Skill/Will agenda. with this trade we are swapping hitter for hitter, but making room on our blue line (Shakir full time NHL arc???? PLEEK)

Grundy might genuinely be a great fit for the Sharks Culture Plan because i never saw a game where he wasn’t extremely invested and intense … i liked that about him vewwy much but that might just be me and my penchant for becoming attached to random depth players 🥹

More broadly, the pattern of picking up guys who need a new opportunity marches on… dellandrea and now grundstrom. we may not have uhhh affordable housing or more than 20 wins but the one thing sj does have in spades is ice time <3

i do wonder what all this does to our guys in the AHL who’ve been very hungry to break through but ough. alas. </3 perhaps that’s a conversation best had on a podcast and not by me, i can’t be objective here!!

on the LAK side of things:

Kyle Burroughs played way too many minutes on a bare bones Sharks defense please don’t look at his uuhhh -42 rating and take it seriously 😭

he might look like a silly guy from a 2010s sitcom but he is in fact a GOON!!! the fighting majors… lordy….. also i haven’t checked the stats recently but last time i did he was right up in the leaderboards for hits.

this move from LA does puzzle me!! Clarke and Spence should be getting more priority ice time next season. the Burroughs trade would push them out of the lineup unless Burroughs is getting put in the AHL or lak get rid of another defenseman.

perhaps an omen? Matt Roy leaving? or perhaps noted gorgeous leg weight Andreas Englund? <- i’m more inclined to this as it seems Burroughs and Englund would occupy the same role!!

endeared by Kyle Burroughs’ moustache deeply <3 him and j.middleton are sisters to me as per one of my posts…

anyway i hope he gets fewer minutes and less rough deployment on the kings jskdjdkgk he truly went THRU it this past season 😭🙏

in conclusion Cali Polycule please come back from the WAR i need this place to be hell on earth again CALIFORNIA SWEEP….!!!!

[pruszided]

Okay controversial question:

Who's your favorite little guy in Hetalia and why?

Indeed a controversial question, but what do you mean by little guy? Little guy like small character, or like basic character? I'll answer the second one anyways lol (you are very sus, anon btw).

char. - character fav. - favourite

Fav. char. based on char. traits: (look for this colour)

Fav. char. based on acting in the series, subjective and patriotic opinion also included:

This one's easy to answer, it's Hungary. Partly 'cause I'm Hungarian and I love Hungary from many aspects, but she's so badass in the anime and the manga. I sometimes saw ppl considering her to be the manliest character in the series, so that's a bonus point, I guess. So yup, she's lovely, blowing kissies for her :3 (hogy a történeti hűség is meglegyen, magyarul is kiírom, hogy a térdeimre borulok a hölgyeményért. Szeretünk, Magyarország ε>) (Böskéről órákig tudnék beszélni, de már most érzem, hogy ez hosszúra fog nyúlni.)

Oh yeah, and people, her name is written as Héderváry Erzsébet, not Elizabeta, Elizaveta, Elizabeth, and the é's and the á are important, don't replace them with e and a, they are different vowels. Her most common nicknames are Bözsi, Böske, Bözsike, Erzsi, Erzsike, feel free to use them!

And, the other one:

I love almost all the characters (except for 2P! Russia :[ ), and I could ramble about some characters quite much. But let's stick with France, because he's the most controversial one, lmao.

Why this guy (csigazabálő szőke rüfke, a lehető legjobb értelmében, magyarul jobban sértegetek) [pros]:

First, he's got quite much of screen time, which helps to understand Himaruya's idea about France (that's a huge advantage though, and is "unfair" to char.s that appear rarely). In the anime, he was hilarious, I enjoyed every moment where he appeared lol (I like analyzing ppl cognitively, and that's a bonus point, hehe. Se dom definitely, and Fi is his second function, in my opinion. That would be SeFiTeNi, an ESFP, but argumenting abt why this is valid is a lot more than what I want to type. You can ask me if you're curious though!). Once I've got a general idea about France's cognitive functions (how his brain works, for ppl who'd rather avoid Swiss psychiatrists [Karl Jung, I mean]), it's time to get ideas (and no sleep).

France's character is very colourful, and can work in a lot of situatuons (just as his history btw! we usually call France by arts, museums, baroque, music, etc., but many scientists, e. g. Félix d'Hérelle, Lavoisier or Pasteur come from here, and Frenchies also were the ones who laid out basic units of measure in continental Europe [like meter or gram], pretty cool and practical, because it's all decimal. They tried to make time measurement also decimal, but it failed). I've got 9 projects that rely on France heavily, so yeah, he fits in almost everywhere.

France's character isn't flawless, and that makes a character good. You usually like characters that actually develop, or are able to develop, and it's just easy for me to understand where France's flaws come from (it depends on which situation he's put in, but in the anime, he's lazy, a bit of a hyporcite, stubborn, and proud, just to mention some, and these flaws are easy for me to express. If France in a story actually focuses on fixing these, he could make a good development, and I can express it nicely).

France is pretty, ngl. He's easy to draw, I quickly routinised the process. I love his hair, it's fun to mess with. Not a strong argument, I know.

France is very shipable for me, I've got 5 ships that involve him [namely FrUK, RusFra, GerFra, PrusFra, Frain]. This is important if you're one of those yaoi readers in the corner of a classroom.

Bonus: Natsuki Kizu, the mangaka of Given, had the inspiration to Haruki from France! If this isn't awesome, then nothing is (not even Prussia). Source (I couldn't find the original post, but you can have this):

First one is France, second one is Haruki. Tell me the difference (I can't see it)!

But as every characters, France also has downsides. Pretty deep ones, this is where we reach the controversial part [cons]:

(According to the anime,) France is annoying. Okay, he's amazing, gorgeous, sly and all that, but as I said, he's proud. And not quiet. Combine the two, and you make me want to rip out all strings of France's beard.

For some reason, I actually went insane by France for 2 months. It was some shit about second foreign language in our school, and I got so mad at myself for not choosing French that I got mad at APH France as well, lol. Every time I saw something that reminded at him, I told a rant and destructrive criticism first about the object I saw, and then one about France as well (but it's over now, yay).

Minus point for his official human name, which is Francis Bonnefoy. It's English, the French version should be François Bonnefoy, and it just irritates me that he's got an English name despite being the personification of France xD or he could be Ferenc Bonnefoy, if I want to push this thing more (Ferenc is Francis in Hungarian). So yeah, his first name sucks.

2013 France Fanpop. No comment, you know if you know (I gave a link, so you can be cursed as well).

Bonus art dump of France doodles I've made:

Thank you for asking! Love you, anon ε>

[chussyracing]

what has been happening in the world of motorsports?

there is a massive list under the cut, so although i already deleted a lot of it which was not that relevant or important, open on your own risk (key topic of each is in bold)

Guenther Steiner became the official F1 Ambassador of Miami GP this year

Silverstone GP announced their line up for the music show during the race weekend (truthfully i only heard about Olly Murs), Miami GP did the same btw with Ed Sheeran headlining the show (or at least being the only one I know)

Williams repaired the chassis (that can add up to 7 kgs) and managed to fit on Logan's car being only 100 grams heavier. They don’t expect to have a new chassis ready till Miami.

Alpine and RB are other two teams confirmed not to have spare chassis (Bruno Famin said it during the team principals’ press conference and Mekies said they need to see if Daniel is doing bad or if there is something wrong with the car, so they will wait till China for a new chassis and give it to Daniel first).

the problem that Max experienced in Australia was not directly related to BREMS brake system aka the same brand that already started an investigation to Charles' brake issue in Bahrain, our comm the gossiper he is, said that this one is on the Red Bull crew and the way they assembled the right rear brake duct

There have been some rumours coming from New Zealand media that Daniel Ricciardo has been given an ultimatum to start performing in next two races otherwise he could get replaced by Liam Lawson, looks like that was either started by a source close to Liam to put pressure on Daniel or it has been an incorrect translation/misinterpretation of what Helmut Marko said

Marko confirmed that Ayumu Iwasa will be replacing Daniel in FP1 in Japan (Ayumu is a Japanese driver in Red Bull junior academy who drove in F2 last year and changed over to Super Formula this year), Yuki also hinted at this in the post race interview in Australia but then stopped himself, saying he is not allowed to share that yet

But concerning Daniel, while Marko demented the quote about two races left to prove himself, he didn't rule out the possibility of Daniel being replaced mid-season

Honda opened up a new base for their engines in the UK

Toto Wolff told Fox News Australia more details of how Lewis announced his move to Ferrari to him over a coffee and how he warned Lewis to look closely at Mercedes rear wing because that's a perspective he will have starting with the new season

David Sanchez hired for McLaren at the end of last season from Ferrari has been fired (or “leaves the team after mutual agreement from both sides about his misalignment”). They didn't agree on his job position, so he leaves after 3 months. Emanuele Pirro also left McLaren from the role of head of McLaren’s junior academy (there was no apparent reason for this stated, like in David’s case) after one year only.

It seems like Charles will be opening an ice cream parlour LEC in Milan. Press con / grand opening is supposed to be around 10th/11th April, so that’s when we will learn more pieces of information, probably. So far we know it will be with Federico Grom and Guido Martinetti, who founded an ice cream shop chain in Italy.

Max’s chief mechanic Lee Stephenson will be working for Sauber from now on as he ended his journey with Red Bull after Australia.

Toto Wolff spoke again about the replacement of Lewis in Mercedes in 2025 and mentioned he wants to get it sorted around the summer and reminded that Max is on his shortlist. There are rumours about most of Mercedes employees being interested in getting Max in the team and into the ambassador role for them. Also, a side note: Toto originally wasn’t meant to be at this GP but changed plans last minute for unknown reasons.

Liberty Media bought MotoGP commercial rights (for a similar amount as they did with F1: 4,2 billion Euro). The championship is in a similar position where F1 was, and they want to try to put more spotlight on it and bring the fans like they did with F1.

Honda is opening a new engine factory in the UK in preparation for the Aston Martin partnership starting with 2026.

A Japanese billionaire built a private circuit for 180 mil Euro, and it was Herman Tilke’s team who designed it (it is only available for teams of prestigious Magarigawa club).

There was a rumour in the media a few days ago that Aston Martin approached Adrian Newey with a huge financial offer in Jeddah and are just waiting for the answer, however Mike Krack said to media in Suzuka that is not the case and they are happy with their team so they didn’t even need to make any offers in the first place. (Although the rumour has been reported by pretty reliable sources that said it was Lawrence Stroll himself who approached him.)

There was a slight change in the rules concerning tyres for this year and that caused the lack of running in FP2. There was a rule that if Friday sessions are declared as wet, the teams have a selection of 5 intermediate tyre sets and 2 wet ones. However, there used to be a rule of additional intermediate set of tyres being available for Friday if it rained, which would then have to be given back to Pirelli, but that rule isn’t applied this year. This is why teams decided to save tyres for Sunday, in case they are needed (and they will be according to some weather predictions).

Australian GP saw the most fans over the weekend in their history, the official numbers state 452 thousand of fans.

in Australia: Checo had a tear off stuck in his car, Lewis’ issue was reliability concern and the damage to the engine was terminal so he had to take a new one, Fernando was handed an after race 20s penalty for the incident with George, Este was another one with a tear off issue

After Ben Sulayem was cleared of the allegations of trying to mess up with the race results or the accreditation of individual circuits, he came out to say they are despicable moves against him, just trying to discredit him. In support, the US group of FIA club members wrote an open letter than they stand behind him, that he has their support in the decisions and also that they suggest to take legal action against people who were the ones to complain to the ethic committee.

Seb has been vocal over the last days to promote a new drink Perple (but he spoke about a lot of current f1 topics). Speaking of potential comeback, Porsche apparently postponed the announcement of their Le Mans lineup (was meant to be on 28th March) and he named the car he tested with, so there is a high possibility of him driving. He covered 118 laps, and I didn’t find any times comparison but there is a report that they were impressive.

FIA Prize Giving for 2024 will be held in Kigali in Rwanda on 13th December this season – first time ever for this country.

Pierre started a new line of his own merch with his own face on it from karting days and there has been quite some talk about that move copying Lewis’ significant merch (I like to shit on Pierre but personal opinion: this is really NOT that deep and Lewis doesn’t actually have a trademark for this kind of merch). Yuki is releasing new line too and there is a lot of blue color which I appreciate. Guyanu made a partnership line with Lululemon. Lewis was a face of latest issue of GQ and ate that photoshoot.

Valtteri mentioned he is in talks with Audi for a contract beyond this season and more importantly he spoke about the pit stop issues and warned fans they will struggle with this issue for a while still, because they need both time and funds to fix it so expect multiple other races like this.

BBC spoke to close victim of Horner case. She can't speak about it during the investigation, is angry and scared and feels silenced. Multiple sources approached her to see if she would like to sell her story and make money on it, but she refused because she doesn’t want fame, just justice. She will also go to the employment tribunal.

Kimi Antonelli will be testing W12 on 16th April (and later test W13 to get a feeling of the "good" car first).

Daily Mail reports Mercedes will be partnering with Adidas (instead of Puma and Tommy Hilfiger) to design their merch and race wear.

F1 now has a multiyear partnership with Playseat to provide official racing simulators

Charles made a new road safety campaign

It’s Oscar’s birthday today!

The Las Vegas GP report showed its economic influence etc. but also weak spots like infrastructure

Logan Sargeant’s docu named Racing the Odds came out on ESPN

Teams are being restricted from how much behind-the-scenes content they can show and it’s all related to Liberty Media and Drive to Survive, because Netflix wants a monopole over the exclusive content.

I saw a lot of talk after Australia about team orders with the main point about McLaren’s ones that they ordered Lando to be let in front, because he was on fresher tyres and could catch up with Charles. McLaren’s TP Andrea Stella came out and said it is not the case and they wanted to avoid the drivers crashing into each other and losing the valuable double points and podium

Lando Norris was on Chicken Shop Date. I don’t understand the significance of it but a lot of news sites I like to check reported it, so I figured out it may be a big deal in the world of people who have social media outside of Tumblr?

We have a few returning faces: Masi was in the Australian GP paddock and Binotto is rumored to visit the paddock for Japanese GP and Felipe Massa was at an FE race while suing F1 which seems a bit strange.

So proud of me. I successfully cracked open a 🧄 garlic bulb🧄 , peeled away the skin from some cloves without breaking them, minced them without slicing up my fingers on a microplane and sautéed in vegan butter without burning it🙌🏻

Also successfully cooked this one pan pasta dish. A creamy spinach on red lentil pasta totally vegan 100% gluten free. Was a bit worried during the process I was not going to like the final result but to my surprise it was delicious and almost too rich and creamy. Still not quite sure how it had such a rich cheesy flavor…. But damn does this thing have more grams of protein than anything! Super filling and nutritious. I definitely stepped it up by using the red lentil penne instead of typical pasta which usually have more carbs and consists of more then one ingredient unlike the one I used; where it legit is made up of red lentils that’s it, one ingredient making these noodles! I really do love a well made veggie based pasta noodle, always have but they are harder to find then they once were…. I’m hoping I’ll be able to share these leftovers because of how rich it is I don’t see myself wanting to eat it again anytime soon.

Definitely took a lot longer from prep to finish then the recipe stated but I have a tiny kitchen so if I had more room maybe it would take less time as I wouldn’t be forced to measure and put things away as I set up nor play Tetris version with my fridge to make things all fit lol🤷🏼‍♀��

Man between this and the overnight oats recipe I mastered to taste exactly like strawberry 🍓 shortcake 🍰 I’m slaying it in amping up my cooking skills. Very exciting!

On this roll maybe my own custom creation 🍬cotton candy🍬 smoothie bowl recipe will actually be successful…. We shall see soon. I’m pretty full right now so maybe in 12 hours lol.

If you want the recipe to that pasta dish or the overnight oats recipe I mentioned both gluten free and vegan btw just ask I’ll gladly share :)

Is everything unfair in class wars?

Stumbled upon Culinary Wars and ganda ng thumbnail, so ayun na nga. Since I missed my doggo babes and my mid babe Vidi is extra clingy, sige na. Tambay bahay muna tayo on a Sabado while updating my small purple circle kasi may super bonding sesh akong namiss because 'di ko nasabing wala ako sa Manila last weekend. LERKZZ.

Bakit ba raw ako 'di nanood ng F1? Tugon: Kahit may free access pa, kakatamad because ang inet and 'di naman ako fan. LELS. Badtrip na ako at nasabay pa 'yang F1 na 'yan sa punta ko sa totoo lang.

Speaking of Vidi, hayyyy. Hassle talagang 'di maging bothered and mag-lean toward "bonus" days na 'yung days niya with us. Tapos extra clingy pa. Dati 'di 'yan lumalapit sa akin. Now, gusto niya, either nasa ilalim siya ng sala set. Or nasa tabi ng home office chair ko. Then, syempre, dahil namiss namin ang isa't isa, nagluto ako ng lamb steak. SARAP. BTW, ayoko ng steak, pero 'pag lamb, actually, anything na lamb saka mutton/kambing, super oks for me. Mura pa saka 'di na masama since hati nga kami. I can clearly see his body detoriorating pero alam mo, ang lakas niya pa rin or baka sabi nga ni Doc A, mga dogs daw, ayaw pinapakita na hindi sila okay. HAYYYY.

Vidi, 5 years pa 'di ba? Or kahit 3? LOL. LUL. Eto na naman tayo. Ang aga-aga.

And so, Culinary Wars is like Food Wars pero totoong tao mga karakter. Part of me says na, Korea is really slaying its comm plan to "run" the world. Kasi napapayag nila mga top chefs aka White Spoons to go head to head with basic chefs aka Black Spoons.

Tawang-tawa ako sa mga feeling A-list na Black Spoons e. :P

Personal fave ko si Master of School Meals agad-agad lalo nung hindi na magets ni Anh Sung-jae kung na-override ba ng nostalgia ang judgement niyang putok na putok na parang minsan unnecessary na. Ajumma siya na super humble lang and ugly delicious ang paganaps. Gusto ko rin si Hidden Genius kasi kamukha niya brother ng one of my purple peeps saka pak siya e. New breed. Love ko rin si Comic Book Chef kasi sobrang weird niya and I think, he'd be ruling the Korean food scene soon and the world, too. Sa White Spoons naman, si Edward Lee lang gusto ko. LOL. Very hippie vibe siya pero alam mong he's just upping the ante of his folio rin naman. Fun-sized din siya kaya very interesting din.

Special mention kay Napoli Matfia because naman, ang galing niya gumawa ng risotto talaga with feelings for 100 people na naka-time pressure. Also, dami niyang tattoo and ganda ng hair niya ngayon. Onti lang followers niya sa IG pero as a girllyyyy na 'di masyadong bet pasta and Italian food, ten points for him diyan.

Etong CW mala-Squidgame x 100 x Parasite. Tawang-tawa ako sa divide nila lalo nung naka-choogadoog ang mga Michelin Star chefs. Oh, the fallen stars. Eto na talaga ang testament that badges like Michelin Stars are but... badges. Lalo na kung uukilkilin mo ang ang historicity nito. May mga nagsasabing kaya may paganito is marketing na naman para mas mag-travel on wheels ang mga tao in the name of good food 'di umano. 'Di ako kasi fan ng mga awards sa food. Nasa pila 'yan ng mga legit na 'di forda gram talaga. LOL. As an example, wala bang sobrang sarap na pang-Michelin na Pinas-grown talaga? LOL. ULOL.

Compare mo Hawker Chan sa JT's Manukan. LELS. Syempre, bias ako sa DTF kaya let's not go there, pero gets ba? Kahit andaming mas oks na mala-DTF sa mga Chinatown dito sa Pinas. Parang may cocaine kasi talaga 'yung DTF crispy beef strips na wala naman talaga siyang bearing pero nakaka-adik.

Andaming oks na food dito lalo outside Manila na laban kung laban sa mga foreign ones. Another example is 'yung Jay Fai x Crab Omelette sa BKK. LOL. Seryoso, oks lang siya. 'Di siya super duper sarap. Spectacle lang talagang panoorin si Madam with her goggles. Not to diminish her worth ha. 'Yung sa totoo lang talaga tapos ang mahal pa. LOL.

Anyway, maganda ang mix ng boomer and millennial judges ng CW. Ganda ng fit ng suit ni Anh Sung-jae and the very Coach Anzai vibe ni Paik Jong-won. Pero again, seeing them side by side is sending a strong yet very subtle/sublime message na: Korea has to keep up to make its food accessible to the world. EMYYY. Galing ng agenda setting netong show na 'to. Bagong Finazzz, let's go! Sa ngalan ng galing ng Vagung Lifunannnn sa ganda-gandahan at optics. LOL. Kunin niyong direkkxxx si Here Cums D Sun ulit para on brand na on brand kayo. HIHIHIHIHIHI.

Loveeee talaga the suit na 'di black kaya kahit 'di igop si Anh Sung-jae in all levels, gesi. PUSH. Hassle din mag-nitpick 'to e. Parang akala mo nakasalalay sa bawat salita niya ang career at folio niya. Plus the textured skin na 'di "Korean white" is just giving realness vibes din naman.

Sana manalo mga Black Spoons. As in. Pero oks lang din if manalo si Edward Lee.

As a homecook myself, ganda netong show na 'to. At the end of it all, it's all about the taste. Dagdag na lang talaga ang estetik lalo nung nag blind tasting x judging mode sila. 'Di naman need ng fancy kitchen set up unless gusto mo talagang mag-experiment pero in terms of texture atbp., kung magaling kang mag-combine ng kung ano mang meron ka sa pantry mo, goods na 'yan.

Plus, travel to taste and experience food. Kasi iba rin kapag andun ka talaga sa mismong lugar kung saan puwede kang kumuha ng inspiration sa pagluluto mo. Adapt mo na lang sa kung saan ka mang lugar based para 'di rin hassle 'yung logistics. So, sa susunod na Malaysia and Taiwan, makapag-cooking class nga sa mga legit local ajumma at noona after biking. Gusto ko ulit 'yung tulad sa Hanoi na mamalengke ka talaga and all.

Also, 'yung foundations ng cooking lalo preparing the ingredients. Kaya ko love na love si Master of School Meals, ang galing niya mag-hiwa tapos ang bilis pa. Sana all. Pinaka nakakatamad talaga mag-hiwa. And mga basics like ano bang tamang pagpapa-tender ng mga karne, seafood, and veggies.

And don't cook talaga forda feed. Feed the souls talaga siya.

Though experience and wisdom pa rin talaga, 'di rin 'yan basta-basta maha-hack. Ganda ng skillset ng mga White Spoons. Very classy. Very demure. EMYYY. Saka ang linis nilang mag-luto. Sana all. LELS.

So, anong luto kong next? Tocino, bacon, saka ham. Saka baka misua na may sardinas na 'di masabaw. Plus, gonna cook a Korean dinner in time for December na rin. Practice mode though 'yung Korean beed stew ko nung nakaraan, ayun, nilagay ng tatay kong pakitong-kitong 'yung sabaw na natira sa freezer para daw may ulam siya 'pag tinatamad siya magluto.

hope you liked my explaination and subliminal messages

Oooo, oooo, I'll help! I've heard this before, but I've never seen the analysis, so lets do some physics!

For those not in the know, the United States Postal Service has a flat-rate shipping service if you use one of their standard boxes, A small flat-rate box is 8.625" x 5.375" x 1.625" on the inside. All flat-rate mail is limited to a maximum of 70 pounds per package. I'm going to convert this all to metric for my benefit.

Dimensions: 21.9 cm x 13.7 cm x 4.1 cm

Volume: 1235 cubic cm (cc)

Max weight: 31.7 kg

Anyways, you know what's heavy? Water. Water's pretty heavy. Water is right around 1 gram per cc (g/cc), so a box full of water is 1.235 kg. Hm. Unimpressive. We can do better.

What's heavier than water? Stones sink in a lake, right? Let's pick a fun one, say... granite. That's a good stone. According to Wikipedia, granite is around 2.7 g/cc (coincidentally about the same as aluminium.) This comes out to 3.334 kg. Still pretty weak. We can do better.

You noticed I mentioned aluminum up there. Aluminum is a metal. Pretty well known for being a structural metal used when steel is too heavy. So what about steel? Steel has a density somewhere in the range of 8.7 g/cc, depending on which particular steel, but hey, close enough. This come out to 10.7 kg. Pretty heavy, but barely 1/3 of the way there. Can we do better?

Okay, let's cut to the chase. Here's some common elements that are more dense than iron:

Lead, 11.3 g/cc: 14.0 kg (pretty sure this falls under hazmat restrictions. Please don't ship this through the USPS.)

Mercury, 13.5 g/cc: 16.7 kg (I'm POSITIVE this falls under hazmat restrictions. Definitely don't ship this through the USPS.)

Gold, 19.3 g/cc: 23.8 kg (this is roughly $1.4 million market value, btw. The standard insurance isn't even close to covering that should they lose it in transit.)

Okay, okay, okay, still only a little over 2/3 of the way there. Is there anything "less common?" The densest element on the periodic table is Osmium. It has about half the abundance in the Earth's crust as gold and a density of 22.6 g/cc. Even at that density, that's still only 27.9 kg. Close, but no cigar!

"But Rocket," I hear you cry, "there's got to be a way!" Not really! That's the best we can do here on Earth. But if we go off of Earth and search the cosmos for one of the most ridiculous things to exist, maybe, just maybe we can pack more than 31.7 kg into a USPS small flat-rate box. If we ignore black holes, which are sorta infinitely dense, we find neutron stars. These are dead stars that were, in life, many times more massive than our own Sun. The reason that we can only fit so much mass into a given space is that atoms are mostly empty space! The protons and neutrons that are the "dense" part of the atom only take up a tiny fraction of the volume of the atom. The electrons whizzing around the outside of the nucleus have very little mass (~0.01%) of the nucleus, but they all have negative charges that make sure that the electrons of neighboring atoms don't get close (relatively speaking) with each other. By this measurement, an atom is roughly 10,000 times bigger than its nucleus.

Now neutron stars, they sorta just.... ignore all that. At standard physical scales, the forces between electric charges swamps anything gravity could do by so many orders of magnitude it makes the mind spin. That's why you can stick a static-y balloon to the ceiling and it just sorta hangs out there instead of falling to the floor. But neutron stars have so much mass that the gravitational forces actually overcome the force of the electrons keeping the nuclei of the various atoms apart! So that atom is now 1/10,000 as big as it was before, but it still has the same particles making it up... which means that it's 1,000,000,000,000 (that's 12 zeros) times more dense. (The actual number is more like 14 or 15 zeros, but that doesn't really matter here.) The other interesting thing that happens is that since the electrons and protons are no longer separated from each other, they basically combine and become neutrons. So you have a giant ball of neutrons that is more dense than "normal" matter. Finally, our box now weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of 5x10^17 kg (that's a 5 followed by 17 zeros). While this isn't quite as much as the Earth (6x10^24 kg, a 6 followed by 24 zeros), it's likely a million times more massive than the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs.

Only problem is that before you were able to scoop a bit of neutron star up with the box to prank the USPS, the atoms in the box would also turn into neutron star. Please don't waste the USPS's boxes, that's a good service there! :P

My new favorite random fact is that it is physically impossible to exceed the weight limit on a USPS Priority Mail small flat-rate box.

Look it up.
