The Great Cooking Disaster

Person A: Hey, remember when I thought I could cook a gourmet meal last weekend? 😂

Person B: Oh no, what happened? Did you end up ordering pizza again?

Person A: Close! I tried making homemade pasta from scratch. I watched this super fancy video, and I felt like a chef!

Person B: Ooo, fancy! How did that go?

Person A: Step one: Gather ingredients. I somehow turned “a pinch of salt” into an entire salt shaker. My dough tasted like it was seasoned by a pirate. 🧂🏴‍☠️

Person B: LOL! That’s one way to make it “salty.” What happened next?

Person A: Kneading the dough. The chef made it look like a dance. I looked like an octopus trying to play Twister!

Person B: I wish I could’ve seen that! Did you at least roll it out well?

Person A: If by "well" you mean “floppy pancake,” then yes! I think I invented a new pasta shape: floppy-roni. 😂

Person B: Floppy-roni? That sounds like a new dish at a bad diner! How did it taste?

Person A: Well, after boiling it, I left the kitchen for a second. Came back to a bubbling monster that looked like it was trying to escape the pot!

Person B: You’re kidding! Did you at least salvage it?

Person A: I served it with a straight face, calling it “Chaos Pasta.” My family tried to hold back laughter while eating it.

Person B: That’s a solid family memory! “Chaos Pasta” could be a hit if you market it right. 😆

Person A: Next time, I’m sticking to cereal. Less chaos, more success! 🥣

I just realized that Spongebob's opening joke in Squirrel Jokes ("What's the deal with salt shakers? You fill them up at the end of the day and where does it all go?") Is because salt dissolves in water 😅🧂

wait omg i never thought of that until now ldsjfkjldslfkjdfklsd that's actually very clever, but i assume in spongebob's world it's a very common joke that people get tired of hearing lol

aww i didn’t know jack “ignored” orion or the fact that she even commented on his stuff 😭 for awhile I thought she was for the girls?? 😓 I knew that they followed each other, just like as mutuals

i would take reddit speculation with a grain of salt 🧂 they both still follow each other so they can’t be THAT sick of each other!

i’m pretty sure orion has a boyfriend now but don’t quote me on that cause!

The choice

Summary: After sharing her secret with Luka and getting back to dating again, Marinette's boyfriend informs her he has decided to leave Paris because it's dangerous.

Now she has to choose: stay with her family, friends and superhero duties or leave Paris with Luka? The choice is easier than expected.

Warning: salt 🧂🧂🧂

___________________________________

The choice

Marinette gulped when she saw the new message her boyfriend Luka had sent to her a few minutes ago.

'Marinette. I have to talk to you. It's important'

She couldn't deny she was worried, anxious, and a little scared.

She knew that she didn't need to be. That now that he knew about her being Ladybug and that they had started dating again, that she had nothing to worry about. She knew she could fully trust him, and that he gave her all the love and comfort she could ever ask for.

She was happy with him, even with those akumas messing with their dates.

But since when have good things lasted for her?

There was a glimpse of worry she couldn't ignore.

"Luka! Sorry for the wait!"

"It's fine, Marinette, I saw the akuma on the news. Good job" he praised, kissing her check rewardingly. She felt her cheeks warm up at the contact.

"I didn't want to keep you waiting, so I handled it as fast as I could" she bragged and he smiled fondly at her.

"Thank you. You're amazing"

She blushed at the compliment. She was so glad she found the courage to tell him about her secret, even if he already knew. They had just started dating again and she couldn't be more thankful to have him in her life.

"And what did you want to talk about? You said it was important…"

"It is." Luka held her hand gently. "Listen Marinette: I want to leave Paris"

"Eh?" She jolted in shock. "Why?"

"Because-" he looked down as he talked. "I was almost akumatized the other day and I realized I was putting you in danger. I can't stand the thought of me betraying you under Miss Butterfly's influence, so I decided it was best to leave"

"But Luka-! I'll protect you!"

"I know you would, Marinette. I have no doubts about that" he reassured her, caressing her hands in his. "But there are things that go beyond our control and I don't want to risk your safety"

"But…" she shrugged sadly.

"But-" he interrupted. "There's something I want to ask you"

"What is it?" she looked up at him again.

"Would you come with me, Marinette?"

"Eh?" Her eyes glowed in awe.

"We're adults now, and we can freely decide what to do with our lives- and I know I want you in mine" he spoke softly and honestly. "But, for me, your safety will always come first" She listened, fascinated and moved by his concern and care. "I'd really love it for you to come with me, Marinette. But I know it's a difficult choice to make and-"

"Yes"

"Huh?" He blinked, surprised by how quickly she answered.

"Yes, I want to go with you, Luka! Wherever you go," she grinned lovingly.

"Are you sure?" He blinked twice. "We are talking about choosing between me or your city! With your family, friends and superhero duties, Marinette! If you need time to-"

"Gosh- It makes it even easier when you say it like that!" She laughed at his seriousness and confusion.

The question sounded ridiculous to her, choosing between…

On one hand: her family, friends, and Ladybug duties…

Her family? They hadn't been very supportive of her. Sure, they cared and loved her, but they never really checked on her despite knowing what was going on at school with Chloe and even sided with Lila when she was almost expelled! Their bond wasn't as strong anymore, not since then…

Her friends? She wished she could still call them that, but they had turned their backs on her in favor of Lila. It hurt her deeply, especially Alya. She had very few people left who she could call 'friend'.

As for her duties as Ladybug… She had been doing it for years! The thought of getting rid of Chat Noir's uncomfortable advances for once sounded like a dream come true. Of course she wanted to quit!

And on the other hand, there was Luka.

Her loving, caring and reliable boyfriend who she loved deeply. Her best friend, cool and talented, who always checked on her to make sure she was doing well. The one who welcomed her with open arms to comfort her anytime she needed someone. The person she trusted the most, even with her life, who was always so protective and always put her first (which was apparently the reason he decided to leave and ask her the question)

So yes- choosing between Luka or the rest, seemed like a joke.

"Marinette?" Luka called, snapping her out of her thoughts.

"It's not a difficult choice at all, Luka. It's easy, in fact" She smiled happily at him. "I love you and I want you in my life. I want to be with you and I'd rather take you than a bunch of people who don't fill me with joy anymore. Or anything else, really"

She loved when he stared at her with those glowing eyes of his, filled with love, fascination and adoration. Even when his mouth was absurdly open, lips curved upright.

She loved it when Luka was happy. But she loved it even more knowing that it was her that made him happy.

"So you're really coming with me? Even though I haven't told you where we're going?" Luka asked with joy and a bit of disbelief.

"Yes, I am! I want to be with you. Anywhere. Always"

"Always" he smiled like the lovefool he was. "What about your earrings?"

"I think Socqueline could be a great Ladybug. She was my inspiration when we were at school together. I learned a lot from her and I know I can trust her" she pressed their hands together.

"Sounds like a plan" he leaned in to kiss her forehead and she giggled, content with the contact. "We can leave tomorrow. Or next week, if you need more time"

"Tomorrow sounds perfect" She grinned. "Thank you for taking me with you"

"Thank you for choosing to come with me" he smiled, caressing her hands softly. "I love you, Marinette"

"I love you too, Luka"

They melted in a tender kiss, needy but steady, losing themselves in their mutual love.

It was the best feeling in the world, they agreed.

____________

Years later, and away from Paris, they cuddled happily together on the sofa of their living room. Wedding bands on their ring fingers and toddlers running around the garden. They thought fondly over how thankful they were for all the choices that lead them to that precise moment.

The choices to their happiness.

The end

[oddinary4bts]

So Jungkook & Gabby are actually exes?! They dated?! They have HISTORY?! I thought she was just someone the parents wanted him to marry 😱 so then he’s already slept with her before too i’m guessing…

Me being petty I would’ve been like “your parents are right, we don’t go together. You & Gabby are meant for each other, and are apparently engaged so why am I not surprised ya’ll were kissing. Congratulations.”

Add salt to that wound lmao🧂

They do have history, but it will be explained in more details in the fic so I’m not going to say anything now🤭🤫

Oof Jungkook would probably die if he was told that hahaha it would be more than salt to the wound, it would be battery acid to the wound or something hahaha

[loosesodamarble]

Hiya Erika! Can I get salt types labelled as 9,15 & 16 pls 🧂

Oooohhhh! You can certainly have my salty takes on these, Laura dearest~!

AND OOOOHHHHHH! 15 is gonna have an interesting answer~!

9) Most disliked character(s)? Why?

The Zogratis family is an easy target for this question so I'm gonna extend my reach just a bit more and say...

Alecdora Sandler.

Genuinely, fuck that guy. I know another character that's pretty easy to hate but let me give my why.

He's a character to made to hate on Yuno and everything he does. I hate Alecdora not because he's hating on Yuno. But because he doesn't seem to have an effect on Yuno. Like, Yuno couldn't give an iota of a shit about Alecdora's opinions and just outdoes him because he just happens to be there (yes I know Alecdora intentionally went after Yuno but the Noelle vs Solid confrontation had much more of my attention). I don't need Yuno to internalize Alecdora's hater comments the way Noelle internalizes her siblings' remarks but can I get SOMETHING out of Yuno for having to deal with Alecdora being on his ass all the time? If Yuno showed more annoyance or even vocalized "I don't give a shit about you, my eyes are on the title of Wizard King," I wouldn't be so irritated with Alecdora. He's bothering me more than the in-universe character he's giving grief!

So glad Alecdora's character was quietly put in a corner because we didn't need him to begin with. We already knew through Klaus that the Golden Dawn loved Captain William. And we knew from just... the whole manga, that nobility looked down on peasants. So Alecdora was redundant on top of being annoying. Which is definitely a losing combo.

So again. Genuinely, fuck that guy.

15) Unpopular opinion about the manga/show?

(deep breath) There should've been more anime filler.

I KNOW I KNOW! CRIMINAL THOUGHT TO HAVE! BUT HEAR ME OUT!

The expansion of some scenes and details would've helped slow the anime when it came to creeping up on manga events. I know that early episodes of the anime dragged things out but they also provided extra scenes for some characters like Magna. His backstory as presented in the manga was as minimal as one could get. But it got a lot more elaboration in the anime.

There are other things too that we could've seen more of in the anime adaptation of Black Clover. I mean, how cool would it have been to get half an episode dedicated to each of the BB groups who set out to find a cure for Asta's broken and cursed arms? Maybe even a full episode for Magna and Luck's adventure? And I mean, Fanzell's backstory from the first light novel got adapted for the anime so...

Look, Tabata is a co-writer of the light novels. Perhaps Onda (the other credited writer) takes the lead but Tabata is likely credited for some kind of input on what the light novels. And the anime creators are aware of the light novels since they adapted the Fanzell story from the first book for the sake of anime viewers' understanding.

In my opinion, it wouldn't be too big of a stretch for the anime writers and directors to have looked to the light novels for series content to adapt into the anime when catching up to the main manga storyline was something they had to worry about.

But the anime is already aired as is. Can't change it now.

So when I say that the anime should've had more filler, what I really mean is that there was a lot of missed opportunities in terms of content that could've been expanded upon or adapted. Anime viewers would get more out of it. The anime would've had less need for the anime filler that we did end up getting. And heck maybe it even would've set a precedent for adapting the light novel content of manga series in addition to the original source material.

16) If you could change anything in the show, what would you change?

For one, our ocs become canon. Yes, I said that last time but it's still a deep, selfish wish of mine.

Another option for change I have is reworking a lot of the fashion choices for the characters...

But for a story change... Yami could've offered the elves a place in the Black Bulls. Which they would've rejected in order to be in Elysia. Cause, hey, Yami recruited a criminal like Gauche. And theft isn't as serious as terrorism but Yami is displaced from his home physically and the elves as displaced from their homes temporally. He could see a bit of himself in them. Again, I'd have the elves turn down the offer but it just means that they have even more reason to be there to help the Heart Kingdom crew. After someone reached out a hand to them, it'd be their turn to reach their hands out.

The greatest gravy you’ve ever tasted

Beat one egg into a pulp. Take that pulp and punch it one more time. Once you do that, put your pulp in a plastic bag and be sure to leave it wide open. Insert one finger to check for temperature. Once cold, ice it for 25 minutes. Do you know what comes next? That’s right, the seasoning. 🧂 we have to add 3 cubes of salt, one cube of pepper, and one hot spicy mama pepper. Saturns rings were formed under the same laws of physics that created cars 2. Just thought you should know. Next comes the real shit. This one’s not for your average Joe’s gravy, so you better watch out. Here it comes: serve with a spoon.

[charmtion]

i have just started writing fic and sharing it and sometimes i think what's the point when only 2 people seem to read it! i remember you creating a post before about things like this so it makes me think you understand. like does lack of engagement ever get you down? does it make you want to give up?

what the writer wants to write ≠ what the people™️ want to read

at least that's the tldr version ❕ the longer version is here below, beginning with a welcome, because sharing fic shouldn't feel like an anticlimax 💌 putting your words out into the world is a beautiful thing—so welcome, bby & good for you for starting off on a journey that'll hopefully help you find your foot in fandom & find your people along the way, too.

I think there's a big taboo about talking engagement re fic; you're supposed to just blithely not care about anything besides the writing of a story, the sharing of it, & the moving on to whatever comes next but here's the thing—

we tell stories to share stories; to share in their telling, & discover new things about them, & for ppl to tell us we told those stories in a compelling way or whatever. if I wanted to write in a vacuum I’d send my files to the recycle bin rather than go through the trouble of formatting them for online consumption—so yeah engagement is important ❕ it motivates & it mollifies, & we as humans thrive on it so those authors that say they don't care about wider engagement beyond the well-thumbed notions of self-betterment & writing as self-care & this story is just for me you know the sort? the majority of them are lying to you. they care. they care ardently & deeply. & THAT'S OKAY. I am one of them. listen, I write for:

a) myself

b) the three people I hold hostage in a group chat & inflict screenshots of my writing on

& do I still care about engagement beyond these two narrow bands? yes, I do; I want ppl to spend time with my work, or at least find it interesting enough to connect with an aspect of it before they click that cross; I want ppl to find a phrase they like, or an order to words they might carry across into their own work; I want ppl to pull at the tail of a thread I've spent 5k words laying & gleefully follow it to its end; I want to feel like my stories aren't just trees falling in an empty forest 🌿 I want them to be heard, felt, seen.

the crux comes in how we define engagement. is it 1000+ kudos, or ten-thousand hits, or is it articulate comments that overflow in our inboxes? are you interested in the tropes/ships that pull in the numbers—or are you just writing them because you want those numbers? what is engagement to you? once you decide on that you start to manage the whole thing better: the process, & the thoughts around it. once you decide on that is the actual time writing for yourself starts to ring true ✨

as for engagement (or its lack) getting me down // making me want to give up—bub, we all have those days; fire-breathing, green-eyed dragons of envy days where we want what others have; that's the same in all walks of life, innit really—& my advice is find your people ❕🧂 find your salt-mates, harmlessly rant about the unfairness of it all in a space that isn't public; but have a little faith in yourself, too—in your words, your worlds, whatever it is that lives inside your skull tapping to get itself down onto paper, because nobody else has that—that's all you. 🤍 x

impulsive thoughts while holding a salt shaker sister is kneeling on the ground facing away from me "put salt on your sister;s head Haha" ok i did it now what

[pinkfey]

shoh thoughts because i can’t shut up about anything ever

mc has chemistry with everybody.. harem when

the worldbuilding is fun!! not too many infodumps and generally easy to follow for first timers

it’s a v fun sandbox nd i’m enjoying playing around w ideas <33 still haven’t picked my fav LI !!

but i have two big ish shoes

i find the choice to lock nonbinary mcs out of romances...... odd.. anyone can be attracted to nb ppl it's not about sexuality u know?? i tried poking around the blog to see if maybe it was addressed n all i found was an ask which acknowledged but ignored the criticism.. strange !! peculiar !! suspect !!

i wish there was more diversity :// of the three ambiguously brown characters we get, ayla is constantly framed as violently hotheaded while chase, the one brown man, is a thief. i just think that’s a little hard 4 me 2 ignore !! as much as i love their characters and know they’re three dimensional i think they veer a little too stereotypical in a cast of mostly white companions. i’m also not sure the huge theme of racial oppression is handled best when it comes to tallys…. but this is just my onion 🧅

i don’t feel like this is glaringly harmful like, 4 example, twc, just a little careless !! so i’m taking it all w a pinch of salt 🧂 i’m still enjoying the game, i just wish some things were different

✨Cleansing your space: A How-To Guide✨

1. 🧂Salt.

Simply sprinkle salt (a small grain type) on the carpet. After about an hour, vacuum. Salt crystals have an amazing natural built in-ability to absorb negative energy. As an alternative, you can put bowls of salt in the corners of the room and remove them after a few hours. *this works for people too. Instead of sprinkling yourself with salt, take a bath with 2 cups of sea salt in it. It’s grounding and clearing all at the same time.

2. 🧯Room spray

Buying or making a room spray with pure essential oils helps clear negative energy. The best ones to use for clearing are rose, lavender, frankincense, and patchouli. *this works for people too. Gently mist yourself with the spray!

3. 🎶High-Frequency Music

Playing high vibration music can make a big difference. We already know what a difference music can make in our own energy, and it does the same for spaces. Any music that makes you feel good will work!

4. 🖤 Black Tourmaline

This is my favorite crystal for clearing negative energy. I have several of them around my house. This crystal does not need to be cleared as others do.

*this works for people too. I often put it in my pocket or purse while traveling. It’s great for sensitive people who seem to pick up on the energy around them and need some extra protection.

5.❤️‍🔥Burning White Sage

You can buy white sage sticks in many places, including online. Burning this while you walk around your house with it (swirling it in a counterclockwise rotation) is really great for clearing bad energy.

I usually say something as I do it like “I’m clearing all stagnant energy from this space and allowing only that of the highest vibration to remain.” *this works for people too. Start at your feet swirling the smoke from the sage around you until you get all the way up to your head.

6. 💨Incense

Burn sandalwood incense or dried sage to disintegrate the negative energy in each room. Wave it counterclockwise in each corner, closet, and cabinet. You may also let one stick burn in each room. Say, “Thank you for the complete disintegration of all negative energies, thoughts, and emotions from this room now.”

7. 🕯️Candles

Light a candle to dedicate energy to your endeavors. Say your wish out loud. For example, “I am so grateful for all the love, harmony, and healthy energy pouring into my home right now.”

8. 🔔Bells

While Tibetan bells have additionally sacred symbolism to them, the ring of any bell will brighten up your space with positive energy. As the sound vibrations disperse blocked energy, the sweet chimes work to uplift the fresh energy leftover. Ring your bell throughout your space, working the vibrations into those overlooking areas.

9. 🛢️Essential Oils

Diffusing essential oils is a great way to clear negative energy from your home or office space, and as the oils stay in the air for hours afterward, you continue to experience their therapeutic properties. With the right essential oils, a diffuser can also set a positive, safe space and reduce the accumulation of negative energy in the first place.

10. 🧂Purification Salts.

Same principle with the sea salt, only with added herbs for extra oomph. I like Hyssop, Argomony, Rosemary, Lemon Balm, and Lavender. Grind together with Sea salt and Epsom salt and you have a powerful purification salt. Great for ritual baths as well!

Find what works for you, Witchcraft is not one size fits all, and there is a myriad of techniques and practices that you can adopt without appropriating. A little research and a lot of reading go a long way. I hope that this was at least marginally helpful.

BB!

[sakumasmut]

Hi! I’m sure you don’t remember but I was the one who sent a ramble about the ES idols putting vibrators and using it during their live show a long time ago & I also rambled (somewhat recently? not really) a bit about AFAB! Natsume not being able to take much into him.

I was wondering if I could either take shiina anon or 🧂!

[Dub-Con touching elements? Aaaa I’m not 100% sure but just placing just in case! Also GN! Reader/Producer]

I still have thoughts about the ES idols before their live shows starts. How about making them needy before the live? Bonus points if they cry.

I was originally going to say fucking but I didn’t feel like that fit in. Also I’m not too sure how to explain this small thought ramble without sounding too repetitive and such…

Hm maybe if their s/o (who’s also their group’s producer) decided to suddenly pull them away from their group mates and drag them into a nearby private dressing room or restroom stall about 30 minutes to an hour before the show is suppose to start and then start touching them in certain… places…

Oh gosh, the way the idol would just be confused yet flustered by their s/o’s actions. They’d be saying stuff like:

“Huh? What are you doing?“

“Wait, hey! Stop/Quit it!”

“Please don’t—the concert is about to start soon!”

They soon get needy by your touch, whether it’s visually shown and obvious or not. And again, whether it’s subtle or not, you can just tell (or hear…) that they want to either touch you or want you to continue touching them.

The sensitive idols especially… touching them and making them hard. Them squirming and waiting to the point they have tears in their eyes because of waiting and being repressed (is that the right word)…

But overall of course, you’re gonna them touch you. You help them get off, hearing the sounds of their moaning and whimpers—hoping that nobody else heard…. After they came, they’re pretty much thinking about what happened just now and blushing yk

If the idol did actually cry oh my gosh. Sometimes idols have to wear eyeliner and stuff—I especially think about UNDEAD or Valkyrie with this, they’d get kind of upset their stage(?) makeup is ruined and they would either need to fix it themselves or have somebody come fix it for them… it’s ok tho they forgive you for ruining their makeup (and them)

AAAAAAAAA IM NOT TOO SURE IF THE RAMBLE IS LONG OR NOT, REALLY SORRY THAT IT’S ALL OVER THE PLACE AND KIND OF UNREADBLE

I added you as the salt emoji! and dw I’ve gotten longer rambles

I think it’s a good concept, groping and teasing them right before a live, only to pull back when they do get hard. at that point they have to beg you to finish, lest they’re still hard before going on stage…

[reflections-of-resilience-1975]

I really like the paradoxes Joan Armatrading, that you use here, Joan.. it's so impossible not to become a salt pillar gazer on this one. We need the salt 🧂 to survive! I feel so great that you're on my phone today with a new release that includes thoughtful emotional conundrums. It's great to find you appearing on my phone. You have kept me from suicide so many times by being there for me in the deepest emotional lows of my life and you uplift us with your messages of resilience that you are here with us to guide us through the pain..

This is such a remarkable gift you've given me on this day, and it's so great because I just went to my attorney's office to answer questions and things went significantly well!

You're a great mother, Joan Armatrading. Thanks again for keeping me alive, and helping me get through the pain of the hardest times I have had in my life
