The Air Fried Boiled Egg Incident

Featuring @gracien-system @starlight--system and two others whose tumblr accs I do not know

[hyperobsessedd]

Joost Klein x Reader hcs

Joost x gn!reader

Summary: just a lot of very fluffy and general hcs about dating joost

This is my first real post on the account so I’m lowkey scared but here we go

₊✩‧₊˚౨ৎ˚₊✩‧₊

You and joost first met at a coffee shop

It was late at night when he walked in, you were alone working on something and he had came to edit a music video

You were in a cozy little corner that had a couple pillows and he sat next to you and started talking to you

You guys talked for hours before realizing that it was ten minutes before closing

He offered to walk you home and continued to chat with you

Before getting to your building you gave him your name and number

It’s been about 9 months since then and he asked you out on month 3

Even though you two have conflicting schedules he always try’s to make time for you

He’s very loving but sometimes that can turn to clingines

He loves to cuddle and just like to touch/be around you

It’s always a struggle trying to get out of bed in the morning because no matter the weather that man will always be hugging you in his sleep

Sometimes in the middle of the night he’ll turn around and bring you with him

Both of you love listening to music even if the genres each of you like are very different

If you guys have time before bed you’ll show each other different songs and artists each of you like

Even if it isn’t your cup of tea you’ll always try to listen and try to find things you like about the song

He isn’t the best cook but he trys

A couple of weeks ago he tried to be romantic and have a date night

He attempted (keyword attemped) to make your favourite pasta but the noodles ended up overdone, the sauce was starting to separate, and the side salad he made had way too much dressing

You got home to the sight of him sweating, covered in sauce, and his glasses halfway down his nose

You tried to be supportive by trying the pasta by itself and the salad (the pasta tasted burnt and wet at the same time and the salad wreaked of Italian dressing)

It’s safe to say he hasn’t even gone near the stove since the incident, instead he eats microwave meals and uses the air fryer if he feeling fancy

He still loves doing things for you whether that be reaching for a plate on the top shelf or buying you everything you touch and glance at

His tall stature comes at both an advantage and a disadvantage

Whenever he wants your attention he’ll take whatever you're doing and either hide with it or raise it above your head until you start paying attention

But if he has to use your car or something adjusting the seat will take forever and be very uncomfortable

One of his favorite activities is bothering you in many ways like poking at you, asking you dumb questions, repeating your name multiple times and saying never mind when you answer him, the list goes on

The only way to get him to stop is just ignoring him, it may take long but the outcome is so worth

“Honey, sweetie, pretty, baby, hello can you hear me?” “Why are you ignoring me? You’re so mean” he says with the cutest pout on his face

He looks at you like a kicked puppy when you start to laugh at his reaction

“This isn’t funny I don’t why you’re laughing”

You shake your head and continue to work

His fashion sense is amazing tbh

Sometimes each of you will dress each other for different events or even just pick random outfits when y’all are bored

Having little fashion shows is always very fun because he’ll do his best strut and model face

Having him walk in some heels you found at a random thrift store I’d always super funny

He tries to do his normal confident walk but the heels make him look like he’s about to break his ankles

Self care nights/day are a normal part of your routine that he occasionally like to join in on

Using sheet masks, lip masks, eye masks, and clay masks and Joost is always very funny

“What are you doing and why does it feel so cold?”

“It’s just a sheet mask don’t worry” you smooth out the little dents in the mask before opening a lip mask, putting it on his pink lips

“Now what’s that” he mumbles

“It’s a lip mask now shut up and let me take care of you”

He also loves taking showers with you

Not even in a sexual manner, just being next to you under the warm water is super comforting

He loves scrubbing your back with whatever your favorite body wash is and vice versa

If you like to bake he will always gobble up whatever you make

If you have a signature dessert trust he will be asking you to make it every so often, especially after he finishes a tour

Same thing goes for cooking but making food for him is much more dangerous

He will eat whatever you put in front of him immediately and gladly ask for seconds

He absolutely loves everything you make and he isn’t picky about anything when it comes to you

After eating he’ll help you with cleaning and drying the dishes

After everything around the house is done you get to bed and joost immediately stops whatever he’s doing

You start to worry about whatever he’s thinking “what, do I have something on my face?”

“No, you just look beautiful is all” he looks at you in awe

Before you pass out he whispers his “I love you”s before continuing to caress the top of your head and your stomach

ALPHALORE HEADCANNONS! (3 hc’s per character! [excluding Bartholomew, + I could only think of one hc for Kane I am SO sorry guys I tried… 😭‼️])

[Taglist : @agentmel8 , that's it for now ahdhdgfhbfv ]

Ink! [Sadly no magenta text on Tumblr :(]

★ He canNOT use an oven. At all. Every time he’s tried, he’s almost burnt the entire apartment complex down. He does own an air fryer, though.

★ Hate hate HATES Wahoo World with a burning passion. I mean, I don’t blame him because WWhAT IS THAT LAYOUT.

★ When being “set free” by Wrath, he was completely beheaded imo. I mostly based this on the fact one of his Super Cool Clone Traits™ was intelligence/quick thinking, which you use your brain for (and your brain is well. In your head).

Billy! [No yellow text on Tumblr :(]

★ He ate the Alterna snow at one point. Like, he was just chilling near the squid sister’s camp, and he saw the fluffy, white snow and just. Mmmm yummy chemical crystal snow go brrr

★ He tried to take up crocheting at one point to make little sweaters for Batholomew!

★ I feel like he’d be pretty decent at baking! Like, he’d know the basics, and maybe a few other skills, but yeah I think he’d be able to make cookies and other things :]

Wrath!

★ Has a permanent resting “:3” face imo. He just seems like the type of guy to do that,,

★ This 1 is kinda gross but. I feel like Wrath has very little or no skin underneath the bandages on his face. Also, his left(? Camera right I think?? Idk) eye is just gone-

★ I feel like his favorite food would be waffles w ketchup on them. Not sure why I think this, but eh

Travis!

★ He is Transmasc. To Me™.

★ Drank motor oil at one point when he was a kid bc he wanted to know what it tasted like. Yes, he liked the way it tasted (and still occasionally drinks it to this day). No, I’m not elaborating on this one.

★ After the 1st bluefin depot incident, his eyes got a slight magenta tinge bc of the fuzzy ooze in the poison he was shot with,,

Dave!

★ I feel like this was kinda implied in one of the alphalore episodes, but methinks he has a LOT of college degrees. I’m talking 12 degrees over 6-ish subjects? Nobody knows how he got so many in such a short period of time,,,

★ He reads a lot in his free time! Like, there’s 176 (170 that he hasn't studied) subjects in college that he could be reading up on when he has the chance!!!

★ Has absolutely TERRIBLE posture when he sits down. This man will wonder why his back hurts, then will sit like a shrimp at his computer, reading away at whatever subject piqued his interest that day [he js like me frfr]

Alpha! [No dark blue text option on Tumblr :(]

★ Knows every single star constellation by heart and is PROUD of it!!

★ absolutely despises sea cucumbers and anything resembling them because of the deepsea metro (tbf CQ cumber is pretty annoying, and it did quite literally make alpha instantaneously explode many times.. 😭)

★ Acquired a variety of large scars on his back, shoulders, etc. during his time in the deep sea metro. Most of these scars are from girl power station specifically-

Kane!

★ This man is scarily tall imo,,, I feel like he’d be around 6’1 (around 186 cm)

[scruffyssketchbook]

Recently I've been looking back at two of my SSEC AUs (Café and Polar Opposites,) and I think they're due for a rewrite (ESPECIALLY Polar Opposites, because I HATED that I turned Blizz into a jerk that basically broke Daisy's heart.)

Here's Café AU:

Chefs: Vay, Bolt, and Blizz

Bartender: Dusk

Waiter/waitresses: Blizz, Eve, Izzy, Wiz, Bow, Miku

Hostess: Dawn

Manager: Dean

Dishwasher/slacker: Flame

Owners: Harmony, Rick, Rick

-Blizz isn't allowed to use the air fryer. Not after what happened last time.

-Vay and Blizz (and Eve) get along much better than they do in canon SSEC, and Vay is friendlier and less grumpy (he still looks like Canon Vay though, mainly cause trying to imagine a normal-looking Vay feels wrong.)

-Bolt used to be a waiter, but after a bad experience with an awful customer, he is now a chef. And a janitor. And he washes the dishes because Flame doesn't do 'em. Bolt is SUCH a workaholic that he onced stayed overnight at the Café to clean it (he didn't even go home!)

-Daisy serves coffee and lattes and makes coffee art! She gets a little sad when some of the customers just ruin it by stirring though

-Dawn is a hostess, so she handles stuff like showing customers their seats and reservations! (She was gonna be a waitress at first, but I wanted Dawn to have a better role. I figured a hostess was close enough.)

-Flame does like 1 plate and maybe a spoon, then leaves the rest of the dishes to Bolt. Flame also has tenure, but like "the air fryer incident" with Blizz, this will never get explained for purely comedic reasons (like the Noodle Incident from Calvin and Hobbes.)

-I added some more staff! Izzy and Bow were actually in the original AU, but I forgot to mention them. Izzy, Bow, and Wiz are only part time waiters/waitresses and are entry level, while Blizz is both a chef and a server (Miku is also a waitress! =3)

-Harmony is technically also a bartender, but she doesn't do any of the showoff stuff like Dusk (who loves doing that, by the way.) She does, however, keep a shotgun under the bar table, just in case someone tries to stick up the place (it's happened before, unfortunately.)

-Dusk loves doing bartending tricks! Though it doesn't seem to impress one of their regulars named Bart. Wonder why.

-Dean makes sandwiches! (Is this a café or a deli lmao-)

I'll take about SSEC Polar Opposite's rewrite later, it'd make this post too long.

ooo, cool!!! Interesting how Bow is in this, how is her relationship with Eve? And who's Bart? (Does Wiz draw on the job lol) What does Rick do?

(Also I'd love to here about the Polar Opposite's rewrite)

[ford-between-dimensions]

(So the rickroll anon made me curious and I did some Googling

The song Never Gonna Give You Up came out in late July, 1987

Rickrolling didn't start until 2007 but not important

According to a theory video it was January 1983 when the Pines twins portal incident happened

Mans didn't even know the song existed let alone rickrolling lmao)

(Mod): woahh someone who is also googling dates for logistics. I dont think anyone else cares abt the technical accuracy of fords knowledge on random things but me lol.

Fun facts:

- uno the card game came out in 1971 and got popular more in 1980 on (so he actually could understand “uno reverse”)

- car auxs were invented in the 1950s

- blenders were invented in the 1920s

- air fryers were invented in 2005

- dnd 1st ed came out in 1977 (og was in 1974, and 2nd ed was in 1998)

- the world wide web became widely accessible to the public in 1993. The internet was technically born on jan 1, 1983 but it was in development as early as 1968. (I normally just say ford knows about the internet for simplicity, but he had to go to libraries/college campuses to use it. So he doesnt rlly comprehend the fact that yall are all using the internet to be on this damn app.)

- mobile phones were invented 1973 but they were mostly bricks.

I like googling dates for this blog but ive probably made some mistakes (theres one ask that im thinking of specifically) so dont follow the dates religiously or anything. Just for funs.

[marabarl-and-marlbara]

hi hi mara, i remember you writing in a post that you look forward to meal times. what are your favorite foods at these times?

good morning anonymous; i try to eat exactly four meals that are always the same "thing," because i:m particular about texture/temperature and routine;

breakfast is always a cold almond yogurt (+ some protein powder) & some kind of low-carb sugar-free crunchy cereal (as a general guideline for most-of my food/diet, my mom drilled in-to me from a young age neurosis about carbs/sugar from her diabetes/liver-failure so i ended up inheriting much of this diet-neurosis); i try to portion out all of the ratios to be ~4; ie: 3 spoonfuls of yogurt, 1 part of cereal; if there is anything mixed in-to the yogurt, i try to use three things combined with the yogurts 1 so it comes out to four (today i made peppermint yogurt + a dark chocolate cereal that was bogo @ publix last week);

lunch is always a wrap, that i burn on the stove, and then burn the assembled wrap in an air-fryer so it is 1) scalding, 2) completely dry and crunchy; the filling is usually ~4 pieces of some protein (ex: 2 pieces of cauliflower chicken stuff that is then further divided so it comes out to some number-of-4; 4 cubes of tofu that are further divided down into 16 equal pieces; a fourth of an avocado that is quartered down into four slices), + some vegetable filler (usually spinach or broccoli or kale; sometimes onions i pickle or roma tomatoes i cube), + some jalapeno (with two cross-section cuts and then chopped into ~16 slices so it quarters), + some type of sauce i usually make (my favorite is this birria-consomme-esque sauce i make every few months out of tons of dried chilis, which basically prevents it from spoiling); when it:s been cold, i:ve been making this awful vegan gravy out of buckwheat flour + fake chicken bouillion stock (in place of drippings); sometimes i use egg because i had an incident last month that made me realize my diet was killing me <- though this might:ve just been more neurosis;

dinner is either half a protein bar or a stir-fry (bean sprouts, broccoli, red peppers, tofu);

then dessert i have half of a protein bar that i burn in airfryer;

i don:t really like eating anything that doesn:t match these texture/temperature profiles; ie: baked oats are always disappointing because they:re not cold/crunchy; cold wraps (which sometimes i think i want because i like cold-sauces (like mayo or w/e) and the way i cook things basically turns them into soup) are always massive disappointments; beautifully made and composed foods from restaurants are always disappointing because they:re not as scalding as i like, or spicy as i like; etcetera;

take care, anonymous

“forever”

written for day 26 of august for @wolfstarmicrofic with the prompt “cookout”

512 words!

Light chatter filled the air, surprised faces and hands clasped over mouths as the group caught up with each other. The Marauders were all at a cookout, at Sirius and Remus’s flat they bought a little over a year ago.

Barty was here with Evan, and they were talking with Marlene and Dorcas about a little incident that happened not too long ago. Evan and Barty were always up to something. Mary and Lily were sitting, sipping their wine like the refined English-woman they were. Regulus and James were the late arrivals of course, as James was never known to be early. The brothers and best friends were talking about the news they had to share tonight. 

Remus got up to tend to the burgers and chips on the grill and in the fryer. “Dinners ready!” He yelled, and everyone got up to make their plates. They sat down to start eating around their large outside dining table, and Sirius had the sudden urge to just…cry. His friends were all here, there was nothing to worry about, and he was about to share the happiest news ever with his friends, and it made him a happy lad.

The air was peaceful and the voices filling the air was something they all welcomed. Once they were about halfway finished with their dinner, Sirius and Remus shared a knowing glance. Sirius grabbed his glass and struck his fork against it, getting everyone's attention. 

“Well, for one, I always wanted to do that,” he chuckled. “But what I really wanted to say, was that, well, Remus and I have some exciting news,” he smiled, looking out at the faces of all of his smiling friends. 

“You're expecting!” Marlene shouted, causing the whole table to erupt in giggles. 

“What? No!,” Sirius said, with confusion on his face but it was quickly giving away to a soft smile. 

“Me and Remus, well, we’re getting married!” Sirius said, and the whole table went quiet. But then, congratulations and praises came their way. 

“No way! It only took you guys 10 years and 2 flats to finally figure it out,” Dorcas said, laughing. It's true though, they had been dating for almost 10 years, and had bought 2 flats over the course of those 10 years together for one of them to finally propose. 

“My brother finally grew some balls to propose,” Regulus jokes, raising his glass towards the beaming fiancés. 

Remus shook his head and replied, “he has balls Reg,” without thinking. 

Regulus caught his mistake and took advantage of it, “And how would you know Lupin?” 

Remus’s ears turned pink at the implication of his words. 

“Anyways.” Lily said, slightly disgusted by the conversation, “we’re all happy for you guys, really. Glad you could join the club,” she smiled. Everyone else here was married except for Evan and Barty, who claimed they would never get married, but rumor was that Barty had just bought a pair of rings. 

“Thanks you guys,” Sirius said, loving the warm fuzzy feeling he had right now. He never wanted it to end.

just 512 words of pure sappy fluff today :)

A Pearl (Modern!Kylo AU)

a.n.: this is currently a wip and im looking for any interest on continuing/constructive feedback! tw: suggestive scenes and language.

Two days had passed since the incident, and both of you were stuck in an endless loop of “It’s fine. I’m fine.” Leia and Han had invited the two of you, per usual, over for a backyard cookout. Nothing particularly eventful happened during these meals (aside from the time Chewie snuck a T-bone steak off the grill and ate it whole), just some catch-up and occasionally a board game. This time, the chosen catch-up topic was relationships. Both you and Kylo had various relationships throughout the years, pre and during living together. “So have the two of you finally decided to bite the bullet and give it a try?” Leia knew more about the innerworkings of you and Kylo’s relationship than anyone else. She was a mastermind. When she had a plan, it would come to fruition.  Of course you liked him, but it had always been restricted to an I-had-a-sex-dream-about-my-best-friend-and-cant-unpack-that-right-now type of way. Kylo didn’t seem to respond too well to the question either, clearing his throat and changing the topic of conversation almost immediately. “Our air fryer seems to be working pretty well! Worth the expense…” Nice save.  - The drive home had been quiet. Awkwardness was inevitable, yet it knowing of it gave no comfort. A debrief was also bound to happen, but you weren’t too sure if you were ready. Acknowledging your feelings for Kylo meant knowing if he would reciprocate or not. That was a scary ultimatum. There was safety in the lack of certainty, let the delusion delude.  The well loved couch in your apartment was a welcome sight after such an awkward drive. You plopped down and made yourself comfortable. It was quiet in your apartment, aside from the wood-wick candle on the living room table flickering every once in a while. A stale air hung over the apartment. It had nothing to do with the actual atmosphere, but more so the unspoken tension with your roommate. “Can we talk?”, Kylo said, joining you on the couch. Fuck. Guess the ultimatum was coming to a close sooner rather than later. “Uh, yeah? Everything okay?” Playing dumb felt like the safest route even though you fully knew where the conversation was headed. “Why are you so afraid of getting what you want?” Was he a mind Katy now?��Maybe being content with what you had was good enough. No risk in losing what you already have if you don’t try gambling it away. “Having what I want guarantees there is a possibility of losing it.” In the few moments you exchanged words, Kylo had inched closer to you on the couch. Your knees knocked against each other, causing your breath to hitch. “Don’t get me wrong, the fear of loss doesn’t negate a longing for validation.” Honesty hour wasn’t quite what you thought it would be. Hell, you were being more honest now than you had with yourself in a while. “Do you crave my validation?” His brown eyes searched for a response. Face to face, breath warm against the neck. A welcome proposition. “What if I said I did? Would it drive you away?”  “You- you, are a pearl. And anything short of cherishment would be an absolute slight to your character.” Kylo’s admission sent shockwaves through your body. “Let me cherish you.” He cupped your cheek, leaning in for a kiss. You didn’t know what to expect from the kiss- fireworks? But this wasn’t a rom-com. It was him and you. Better than fireworks. It was sublime. A climax to years of what felt like a slow-burn build up.

[realness-remade]

sending u love and support (afraid of my stovetop because one time i accidentally put a spoon on there and that fucker caught on fire) (leery of microwaves because ive set 3 on fire in my lifetime) (horrified by the air fryer because hows it do that)

RAHHHHH

Air Fryer Market: Analysis, Emerging Consumer Preferences and Regional Insights - UnivDatos

According to a new report by UnivDatos, the Air Fryer Market is expected to reach USD ~1 billion by 2032 by growing at a CAGR of ~7.4%. Today, air fryers have been one of the most used and popular kitchen appliances that are being used in recent years mostly because of the call for healthier ways of cooking. Air fryers are devices that cook food with hot air circulation technology and without the use of a lot of oil imitating the fried food crust. This method has helped attract the market, especially the mostly concerned and conscious consumers greatly influencing the market positively. That is why the global air fryer market has been growing: many people have become more interested in home-cooking appliances and convenient devices that help to cook food healthier. In this article, we will be able to extract the importance of air fryers and machinery, uses, and cost analysis, manufacturing techniques, and new start-up companies appearing in this sector.

Demand There has been an increased demand in the market for air fryers across all regions because of the new trend in the consumption of healthy foods as well as changes in the trends in the acquisition of modern kitchen appliances. Several factors are contributing to the rising demand:

Health and Wellness Trends: People have become more conscious of their health choices and prefer to use appliances that are less oil in terms of consumption. Air fryers are popular kitchen appliances for their capacity to fry foods with only 20% oil as when using conventional deep fryers.

Busy Lifestyles: Lifestyle pressures are again a factor that has brought about the pressure for quick and convenient food in the case of persons within towns and cities especially. There is therefore the need to cook foods in a shorter time as this can be met by air fryers.

Technological Advancements: Present-day air fryers are improved and have features like touchscreen control, multiple options, and adjustable temperature control among others. Such innovations have been appealing to customers who are in touch with Information Technology and seeking versatile kitchen appliances.

Environmental Awareness: Air fryers are energy efficient, and this is a message that will be well received by consumers with a conscious concern for the environment. Less energy used than in conventional bake or deep fry tools is another factor that endears them in the green economies. The market for air fryers is quite prominent in the two markets, North America and Europe since they are health-conscious markets. However, there are also growing markets in Asia-Pacific thanks to increasing disposable income and increasing incidence of Westernized diets.

Applications

Air fryers are multi-purpose kitchen appliances capable of meeting so many cooking requirements. Some of the most common applications include:

Frying: Besides, air fryers have been widely used in producing some crispy meals including French fries, chicken wings, and onion rings without using oil.

Baking: A significant number of consumers depend on air fryers to bake foods such as cakes, muffins, and cookies. The appliance can serve as a small convection oven for preparing meals in small portions.

Grilling and Roasting: Some of the functions that air fryers possess include grilling, roasting, and the ability to prepare different types of meats, vegetables, and even seafood with very little supervision and hardly any oil.

Reheating Leftovers: Unlike microwaves which make foods mushy when reheated air fryers make a good pick for foods that can be reheated and still maintain their crispiness.

This multifunctionality is one of the primary reasons for the appliance’s popularity among the various segments of consumers such as the working population, families, and food lovers.

With the entry of innovative startups alongside established players, the market offers diverse options in terms of features, price, and design. As consumers become more health-conscious and eco-aware, air fryers are set to remain a staple in modern kitchens worldwide

Elon Musk found dead in the White House after “tragic” air-fryer related incident

Last night, people across the United States were shocked with the news that the billionaire head of Government Efficiency was found lying dead in one of the White House’s many kitchens.

Police arrived at the scene at around midnight, following a 911 call from Melania Trump an hour and a half earlier.

Police testimony from the scene states that they “aren’t really sure” what could have happened at the time of Musk’s death, and that the event “seem[ed] kinda like an explosion”.

One of the housemaids working the same night has stepped forward for an interview, claiming she “Heard a loud bang”, but “doesn’t get paid enough to care.”

“I wish I was there to see it. He probably woulda done the thing where you could see his skeleton for a second, like in Looney Tunes,” one pig postulates, in light of this unusual tragedy.

President Donald Trump has yet to make a statement regarding the billionaire’s interesting death.

ADHD Things - Day 2 of Vyvanse

I didn't get to crack this one open since I was out the door by 7:35 AM so this one is a bit retroactive.

Adding a new tag for this so I can find it in case the psych wants it. (No idea why he would want it! but better safe than sorry.)

7:00 AM - Wake up. I hate Tues/Thurs. Hurriedly ate some toast and drank some coffee and threw on some gym clothes. Found my missing foot lotion, so that was nice.

7:35 AM - Get ready to get out the door. The "phone/wallet/keys" mini checklist passed without incident. I did have to run back for a headband, though. One of my sensory issues has always been hair getting in my face. I need to stop letting them cut "face framing locks." Screw that.

7:55 AM - Remembered to schedule out my March sessions with coach. Had to move my Thurs 20th session to the 21st due to a follow up with the psych.

8:00 - Personal training session with Coach Joe. I warned him I started a new medication and probably shouldn't go too high intensity, but I can already tell that the tachycardia problem with Vyvanse isn't as intense with the phentermine. So that's nice. Did my workout without much drama. Guh. Resistance training sucks. Deadlift of 105 using the machine for 15 reps was the heaviest thing he had me do, although I did do 1 rep of 135 by accident. (it had 45 plates on and I missed my coaching saying 'do a warm up set without them.')

8:45 AM - took a Vyvanse

905: AM - Left gym after stretches, returned home

9:20 AM - Home. Finally remembered to get the gardening crap out of my trunk

9:30 AM - Checked into work. Immediately got smacked in the face with Chrome killing off my favorite extensions. Discovered that my organization blocks Chrome web store???? Started researching alternative testing software suites besides Selenium.

10 AM - Put in a ticket with my organization to unlock my Chrome profile :(

10:45 - Hunger kicked in. Ate cottage cheese and grapes.

11 AM - Started rooting around other software updates. Discovered that my screenshot software went subscription model; that ain't gonna get updated.

11:15 AM - Gave myself a short Tumblr break and here I am.

11:30 AM - Realized I am procrastinating working on the payment integration project for our client in Montreal. Better get on that. But also hungry. The room mate came out and fired up the air fryer, which I still find incredibly irritating. I should have never taught him how to use it. EARPHONE TIME! Oh no, a new Tasting History..... At least I opened up a spreadsheet for the Montreal client thing and prepped that while I watched it.

11:45 AM - Escaped the noise and started some laundry.

12:00 PM - Ate lunch - shrimp and pasta and broccoli. The reason I am so fat is because I am a good cook. Had a cookie. Corrected someone who was WRONG on the INTERNET in the comments of today's Tasting History episode. This is why YouTube is dangerous.

12:30 PM - Flipped laundry. Lunch break over. Next break I'll have to start the muffins to replace the cookies (I make one dessert a week.) I also still need to take a shower at some point..... Room mate discovered his scooter won't start AGAIN. Dude just needs to get a new battery.

12:45 PM. Found duct tape for room mate. Put a pomodoro timer on this browser to force me over to the work browser for the stupid Montreal client.

12:46 PM - Immediately had to end the session because I had to let my husband know that our football season tickets are due for renewal. School spirit is expensive.

1:15 PM Trying not to have a panic attack over the threats to dismantling Social Security. I can't afford to take care of my disabled sister on my own. My parents have been dead for 21 years but I'm the representative payee for my sister, and if she doesn't get her monthly check, we're fucked.

1:55 PM - Managed a solid chunk of actual work related stuff for the Montreal project. Had a bit of a breakthrough. The client is trying to get a new eCommerce payment system in place, but use our software to launch it. We need our API to pass in a JSON string to their API with all the correct information; all the documentation that the client sent me was for a fully integrated custom solution, which we would have to build as a special interface. That's 10K that we'd have to charge them for custom development. eCommerce platforms are all supposed to be standardized to avoid that. I'm trying to figure out if they can use our existing stuff to just pass in the value of the transaction and the necessary client account info. I think I finally found the right documentation.... right as my FitBit yells at me for not getting 250 steps in. This is why modern workplace life is not healthy.

2:15 PM - Folded laundry to appease the step count gods. Had my first analysis paralysis of the day where I briefly wavered between showering, doing another load of laundry (but then the clothes I am wearing would not be in the load), and making tea (so that the tea could cool while I was showering. Then I could be clean AND have drinkable tea when I was done, and THEN put the load of laundry in.) Order of operations was halted by remembering I was supposed to have baked the muffins during that last break instead. Fuck.

3:00 - Lost 45 minutes panic attacking about Social Security again.

3:15 - Muffins in the oven. "Panic" has led to "manic" and I realize I'm in the throes of amphetamine high. Definitely didn't experience this yesterday. I get myself back to work researching this stupid Payment vendor.

4:50 - The husband has returned and drops the bombshell that his anime club meeting is at 6PM tonight. I hurriedly start dinner prep. At least he put the muffins up for me.

5:20: Dinner is done for him, but I still have 10 minutes of kitchen cleanup. I set my food aside. I still have not showered. He started the dishwasher early, which means dirty dishes have to sit on the counter. Alas.

5:50 PM - I continued working while I slowly munched on my salad. I actually got to the point of getting an error message on their website in a JSON string which.... is exactly what I think I needed? I think I've done enough homework on this project and it's time to bring in an actual developer. I'm just a business analyst; my job is to do the homework so the more valuable people don't have to.

7:10 - Decompression time over. I'm full of food and calmed down from the afternoon panic attacks. NOW I CAN SHOWER! Well, first I have to swap the cats, and open the dishwasher, and oh yeah I needed to see if we still have a cobbler in town because my favorite boots are disintegrating... we do!

7:18 - Sister called. Had to make plans with her for Saturday.

7:55 - Clean! Realized I'd never started the second load of laundry so I did that before I showered. The analysis paralysis from earlier was no longer a threat, as showering NOW was more important than making sure the laundry had the previously dirty clothes in them. It's okay to not always be efficient. Time for vidya games.

8:00 PM - Jeuno night in FFXIV.

8:01 PM - Forgot about last night's patch.... had to restart the forbidden tools AND Discord.....

10:00 - Remembered to take out the trash for pickup tomorrow. At least it's only cool, not cold. Knocked out DuoLingo. Played with the cat. made some tea. existed.

12:30 AM - Stayed up too late reading fanfiction.

I remember having this idea for an SSEC AU where Harmony owns a cafe, and all the main characters work there (even Eve, who's older in the AU.)

My ideas so far:

Harmony: The owner of the cafe alongside Rick (who retired.) She often works at the cafe's bar with Dusk as a bartender and counts profits at the end of the day. She's responsible for like 90% of the cafe (Dean is responsible for 10% of it.) Also, at her station at the bar, she keeps a shotgun under the counter in case someone tries to perform an armed robbery at the cafe (IT'S FOR SELF DEFENSE, DON'T WORRY!)

Dean: The manager of the cafe. He also makes sandwiches there (he LOVES sandwiches, almost to the point of obsession. Or maybe he's not obsessed. *totally not lying here* <_<;)

Vay: While he doesn't look different than his canon counterpart (because it's difficult to imagine Vay as a normal Vaporeon, and because I like his design,) he's friendlier/more pleasant and gets along with Blizz and Eve better than in canon. He cooks and serves most of the food/baked goods.

Blizz: He takes orders and is a janitor! He enjoys it. =D He used to cook back when the cafe was a diner, but... well, let's just say Harmony shouldn't have left him with an air fryer.

Dusk: He's a bartender! He loves his job! He often likes to show off his bartending skills! For some reason, it never impresses Bart, one of the cafe's regulars. Wonder why...

Dawn: She makes cappuccinos! She loves making little elaborate cappuccino art! =3 She gets a little sad when customers just stir it and ruin the art, though.

Daisy: She also makes cappuccinos and coffee, mainly because she's too anxious/awkward to be a waitress (social anxiety, am I right? Bolt has the same thing.)

Bolt: Because he has social anxiety, Bolt is a cook, and also a janitor like Blizz. He used to be a waiter until he had a bad experience with a pretty nasty customer, which is kind of why he has social anxiety in the first place. Poor guy, he was so close to being a manager at that time, too. Bolt works the hardest out of everyone and is so much of a workaholic that he even stays after closing to clean the ENTIRE building...someone get this guy a hobby.

Flame: The laziest out of everyone. He used to be a cook, but after an "incident," he was demoted to a dishwasher/busboy and given tenure. This will never be explained at all, I'm leaving you guys to imagine how tf he managed to get tenure.

Eve: Due to being around 15 in this AU, Eve sometimes shows up to help. She works part-time at the cafe, helping with small things like giving food orders to customers or cleaning tables.

Miku: I actually will admit that I didn't know what to do for Miku for this AU besides letting her be a barista. So I guess she's a barista.

It’s funny Blizz is the janitor cause in canon, he’s the best cook in the cast and he gets SERIOUS when it comes to his job.

I can def see Dusk as a bartender, that job is super Dusk coded. He’d def love mixing drinks and entertaining people. =w= Dusk being actually happy sounds so nice.

Flame being demoted sounds like him 100%. >.>;;; I bet he barely does any dishes and leaves it to Bolt.

Speaking of Bolt, if he is a janitor too, who out of all of them is a waiter/waitress? I assume it’s Vay but him cooking and being a waiter/server by himself sounds like a lot.

It’s very interesting that all the girls (except Eve) mainly deal with coffee stuff. I cant see Dawn do delicate coffee art, I feel like Daisy would be the one who’s sad that Pokémon ruin her art, but I can see Dawn as a bouncer/ Security guard.

Very interesting AU idea!!!! Cafe vibes lmao

TBOB characters ranked by how good they are at cooking

Gabriel: he canonically hunts/forages and thus has become very skilled at cooking, especially in strange circumstances. He’s not the fanciest cook in the world, but what he makes tends to be very tasty. He’s learned most of these skills from Granny Peet, who can probably cook anything.

Rafe: with how many children he was looking after when leading the savages, he probably picked up some culinary skills. He can make a variety of different things since he learned from the other savages, helping in the kitchen whenever they needed him. He’s not the best with some of the newer culinary inventions though. The mere concept of an air fryer has him deeply confused.

Kate: she’s a practical person raising her siblings and so of course she’s learned some about cooking. She doesn’t make anything elaborate but she has a decent repertoire of simple meals. She also is the go to person for figuring out how technology works and thus is the one to explain things to the others.

Wilamena: like Gabriel she grew up surrounded by nature and learned some cooking skills because of it. She’s good at making easy but tasty things. However she has no idea what to do with meat because she’s a vegetarian (something very common among the elves).

Michael: Michael’s an ok cook. He has a very low spice tolerance so things he makes tend to be bland. He follows recipes exactly, and he’s better at baking than anything else, since it’s so science based. He’s also learned to make some traditional dwarf delicacies from reading the omnibus

Emma: she is many things but a good cook is not one of them. In fact, she’s notoriously terrible at it. Everything she makes usually ends up burnt or underdone. Her skills are limited to sandwiches, cereal, and cutting up veggies. Emma also has had several kitchen incidents including setting the toaster on fire, spaghetti sauce exploding on the stove, and breaking the blender while trying to make a smoothie. She’s banned from most kitchens unsupervised.
