So, I've been reading your NiGHTS fanfic series for a little while, and I'm curious about something: Considering that Jackle being rather unorthodox seems to extend to food preference, what kind(s) are The Mantle's favourites?

This had to sit in my drafts for like FOREVER before I got braincell for it gomen

Lemon. Specifically lemon. Iffy on other citrus. Prefers them candied but could probably eat an entire one straight up with only minimal face scrunching. Kind of hard to tell without much of a visible face though. LOVES those lemon and powdered sugar cookies. I can't figure out what those are called, internet can't agree. I'm specifically thinking those lemon ones the girl scouts used to sell. Savannah Smiles according to the internet.

They're probably like the one Nightmaren that would be able to somewhat stomach savory foods enough to try them. I feel like if there's a sweeter variation of takoyaki they'd really enjoy it.

Definitely likes "weird" human sweets like edible flowers and chocolate cheeses.

In that vein, would like sweeter kinds of cheese. Cheese with fruit can be a banger combo imo (sheep's milk cheese with orange marmalade is still the best cheese I've ever eaten). Most of their siblings would be grossed out by this.

Would eat taiyaki whole

Resident pumpkin spice sibling (Reala would grump about it not being straight cinnamon, NiGHTS prefers fruit flavors)

Do you love your friend? The cute little red cat~

"BE QUIET IT CAN HEAR YOU!" Said in the most intense whisper, obviously. Can't risk it.

You checked out... probably some stuff? Thanks for doing that :)

Used our wifi maybe? For something?

Look we actually don't know what genres you read or how many times you renewed Gender Queer.

We don't want to know.

hi any life advice for 21yo

Don't date thirty-year-olds until you are at least 25.

Having a glass of water for every glass of alcohol will give you a 50% reduction in hangover viciousness.

Bad people will use your willingness to be quiet as a weapon against you. If someone's being awful to you and trusting you'll be quiet to keep from making waves, surprise them.

There is no physical object in the world that is worth as much as your honor.

Honor is not the same as dignity. Retaining one sometimes means leaving the other aside.

Don't have any sex you don't want to have; have as much as you want of the sex that you do, whether that's a lot, a little, or none at all. Nothing you can do to your own body is immoral, unless you're doing it as an act of self-punishment.

Food is morally neutral. You do not have to earn the right to eat calories. Fat and sugar keep your brain from eating itself.

Learning to sit still and breathe--in, in, in, hold, hold, hold, out, out, out, out, out, out--can give you five feet of clear space around yourself in a maelstrom.

Find out how to make three good meals: A comfort meal you can make for just yourself relatively easily, a fancy meal you can use to wow a date, and a meal you can feed a bunch of people. All the other cooking can come later, but you can build a community on those three meals.

If you ever get to the point that things are so bleak you can see no other way forward but to die, make any other choice. If that means leaving everything you own and being a beach bum, or quitting your career, or taking up or leaving a religion, or deciding to bicycle across the country, so be it; living means more chances, dying means everything stops and you don't get to see any more interesting things. As you have not yet seen all the things that can interest you, it is better to live.

when will we talk about the willful helplessness epidemic on here. So many people on this god forsaken website demand to have any and all things that exist outside their personal experiences directly, personally pre-chewed and spoonfed to them. And when you do, they'll then ask for you to swallow for them, too, because, you see, in THEIR experience..,

Joe Biden, coherently and normally: I have three issues to speak about. First, the NATO conference went well. Second, the economy is back on track and inflation is down. Third, my proposal for a ceasefire in Gaza is moving forward. Any questions?

Do you have any headcannons on BWW?

Not a ton, but a few!

Leo and Emma are totally besties after the plot's over even though in ficverse Emma was one of the people that needed help and wasn't in a protagonist/hero role. He sleeps over at her house a ton and they hang out like all the time. (Balan dotes on her when given the opportunity.)

In that vein the cast from Leo's show hang out like all the time and have a very healthy support network outside of the theater twins.

Tims are actually Positi, the name choice is one part plot twist because the theater twins are huge nerds like that, one part because it's easier for younger guests to say.

Different colored Tims have different affinities but a massively expanded color wheel and appearance options from what we see in the game. Tims can be any color with any amount of different variations in pattern and accessories (ie Emma's Tim with multi-color sprinkle markings). What each Tim type does I never fully worked out due to the gameplay not adapting into fic well, but red Tim's like Leo's first Tim Bruiser are the best at fighting.

Leo eventually grows up to become a theater teacher and a summer theater daycamp instructor. Totally does his own dance choreography. Definitely inherits Balan's dad tendencies on a long enough timeline.

Relatedly, Leo ends up playing the hero across multiple shows to help others out with their problems and even after growing up and moving out on his own he still drops in to help with the occasional show when needed.

Leo is not the first kid Balan adopted that has gone on to help others. How many kids? It's been 3000 years. The answer is 'yes.'

Balan is a total dad I will not be swayed from this. This man is a father. He is not immune to puppy-dog eyes when kids ask for something. He does suffer from light foot in mouth syndrome at times though since he doesn't always think through what he says before he says it.

Meanwhile Lance is the cool aunt/uncle/nuncle and is immune to puppy-dog eyes. They are, however, not immune to bribery.

you might have more people to write with if you allowed non mutuals reply to your starters. aren't you lonely isolating yourself?

And this right here is why I'm mutuals only for my own comfort and boundaries, because you seem like someone who would constantly cross boundaries to get your own way :)))

I've been mutuals only in the RPC since 2017, it's hardly been an issue in the past. Maybe do some self reflecting? That could be good for you, thanks so much, and have the day/night you deserve ^-^

Well, that went down like a lead balloon.
