#And somewhere someone is baking cookies and I'm craving them

Does hank have a favorite food? I read somewhere it's twinkies but I'm not sure if it's true or if that's all. If he doesn't have any, what's your headcanon?

So, the Twinkie thing actually comes from an issue of X-Men in the 90s!

X-Men #73, by Joe Kelly, as it happens. As for whether or not it's his favourite food, well - he certainly seems to like them a whole lot, but I love a good Kit Kat every now and then, and I wouldn't necessarily call it my favourite food, you know?

It's a fun character tweak, though. Someone like Hank would definitely indulge in the odd sweet snack cake, especially given his penchant for skipping meals and eating at irregular hours. I like to think he has a general sweet tooth, and Twinkies are just the instant sugar hit he needs sometimes.

Though I don't know if I could have as many as Hank implies he eats. I tend to get sick after just one or two, they're pretty sickly sweet and very rich.

As for what I think his favourite food is? Honestly, that's tricky. I could actually see it changing over time, because his taste buds probably change with his biology, just like everything else.

Probably something made by mom, good ol' Edna McCoy. I could see it being a massive stack of pancakes, with syrup and butter, something hearty and formidable, especially since his father has a love for the same breakfast, and I could see it being a really warm family memory for him, breakfast with mom and dad and the smell of pancakes filling the kitchen.

I think it's gonna be a form of street food, maybe a really outrageously sticky and greasy and drippy meat sub sandwich - Hank mentions in A+X #12, when he's eating such a sandwich with Simon, that he's surprised the board of health hasn't shut the place that sells them down, but the fact that he's still getting them years later, and visibly enjoying them? He doesn't care about the cholesterol, he wants that protein. Probably tons of sauces and toasted bread, too, the full shebang.

Privately, I think he craves something incredibly meaty and bloody. Nothing raw, I think that would disgust him, but rare, certainly - possibly a steak, some form of pork or beef, but messy. I think the idea of eating such a thing in public would fill him with shame, however, and instead he'd probably pivot to something sweet. Maybe a French creme caramel, or a burnt sugar cake, with a dollop of cold ice cream on top.

There's a sequence in an Infinity Comic where he just goes to town on a whole ass tray of pastries, so I think something baked, sugary or savoury, would be the pick here. As something of a fiend for a cheese twist myself, I could see that hitting the spot for Hank. I also think he'd have a soft spot for particularly salty French fries.

I think a sugar fiend. He probably likes a good meaty, sloppy burger (apparently he fucking hates pickles) with some red onion relish and some applewood cheddar, maybe a slab of bacon, but I feel like his heart lies with heavily processed sugar products, especially since I don't think that's something they really had in the Age of Apocalypse? Ice cream or sorbet would probably really hit the spot for him.

So, he's an overeater, from stress and guilt and a degree of ennui and dissatisfaction with life - I don't feel like he's particularly picky? We obviously see him eat lobster and tomatoes, the latter with a degree of relish, but I don't see him having it in him to eat anything with any real joy. He eats because he has to, feels he should. I could see something made with a lot of heart, something with a complex but earthy flavour profile, like a homemade stew or soup, really satisfying him on some level, even if he doesn't know why.

I feel like this man is a secret pizza fiend. Maybe that's just born out of him ordering, like, twenty pizzas in the comics during Infinity Crusade, but something with a lot of meat on it, maybe a stuffed crust, garlic sprinkles? It's just a feeling I get.

Doesn't want to admit it, but probably the store brand cookies that Zeke favours. More because of what they symbolise than anything else - a human connection after so long, a degree of innocence, the trust that he's fostering again? This feels like the right answer.

Cheese.

"A looker, isn't she?" Someone says.

Voices and so much noise. As your eyes flutter open, the noise dies down until the only thing you hear is the popping of wood in a fireplace. Despite your lethargy you quickly take stock of yourself and your surroundings. You're tied to a chair with your arms fastened around the back of the chair.

You're seated in a room with stone walls and cluttered shelves with a ceiling so high that it is cloaked in shadows. An elegant archway leads to a long hall with painting of saints, candles flickering under each one. You've never been in this room but you're sure you know where you are.

"You're awake," a sinfully husky voice purrs. "I was afraid I hit you so hard you'd never wake up."

"You live in a cathedral? Ironic," you reply. "Untie me."

An incredulous laugh comes from somewhere behind you. "Untie you? What, so you can stab me with that stake of yours?"

Your eyes skim the room until you find your weapon lying in the corner with the rest of the contents of your bag which has been upturned and most likely searched. Not like there is much to find.

"I'm not a vampire, surely you know that," the voice says.

"You think I haven't realized? Otherwise, you can't be within a foot of this building, much less in it," you snap. "I know just what you are, Ezekiel Winterfrost."

"Oh, the hunter even knows my name!" He cackles.

His boots clink slightly with whatever metal charms he's fixed to them as he stalks over to you. His body is lithe and though he doesn't have much muscle, you have no doubt that he's as fast as an arrow and just as deadly. He bends at the waist until his eyes are level with yours.

"You came to Juniper Hill to kill me but at least you were polite enough to learn my name first. Gee, I should thank you, should I not?"

It's difficult to look away from his enchanting purple eyes. No matter how many witches you kill, seeing their eyes never get old. Even in your dreams, you see that shimmering shade of purple. It's always harder when they are beautiful.

Somehow, it adds another layer to that unearthly charm and it has caused you to hesitate enough to almost get you killed on several occasions. It took time to master it, to ignore the glamour, to think and not look.

His skin is a luxurious shade of brown and he's perfectly symmetrical in every way. His curly black hair is pulled into a ponytail at the nape of his neck and both ears are pierced with small gold hoops. He has a golden gem in the side of his nose as well. It's clear he's not from around here.

You force yourself to dismiss him, looking down.

"Don't take it personal," you say calmly. "I'm only doing my job."

"By killing innocent people?" He scoffs and the sugary scent of magic washes over you.

People who use magic often enough become something more than human. Magic does strange things to people, turning some into rambling lunatics and giving others the power to hold the attention of masses. It also drives some to crave even more than they have already attained, to shed blood for the sole purpose of becoming even more powerful.

All witches have purple eyes and almost all of them come to smell of something. Some of them smell horrible, like dead things and mud. Some smell like dusty books and candle wax. Sometimes they smell of promises, like a kiss on a summer night or a bed shared by lovers.

A rare few smell sweet, like a fragrant cup of coffee or freshly baked all-spice cookies. And he smells like something sweet that you can sink your teeth into.

Wouldn't you like a taste?

"Stop reading my thoughts," you glare. "That party trick bores me."

"People like you are so easy to figure out," he says, pulling away. "Why do you kill? Because a big bad wolf made you, do it?"

"I've seen the havoc even a single witch can wreak. I know how evil and twisted witches become. The less there are of your kind, the better." You lift your chin, daring him to retort.

"Who hurt you?"

The question is so out of the blue that it takes you a long moment to respond. You're more startled at the accuracy of the question than the question itself.

Are you that easy to read?

"It is none of your business," you snap.

"You shouldn't let yourself be so easily manipulated. Yes, perhaps a witch did something terrible to you. But normal people can be just as bad. Normal people are often worse. Does killing make you feel like a better person?"

"I don't get to choose what I do with my life," you wince as your arms begin to ache even more fiercely. "Besides, my opinion on witches still stands. The kingdom is better off without your kind running rampant."

"You're so naive."

Unexpectedly, he raises a hand and cups your cheek. "It always hurts me to see this.

To see what kind of person I was once upon a time."

"D-Don't touch me," you narrow your eyes. "I'll rip your fingers off one by one for that."

"Well then, I have bad news for you. You might want to think twice about ripping anything off. You'll need my help soon enough," he says.

"You're not going to convince me you're that one innocent witch who never hurt a human and so should be spared because of it. You cannot promise that you will never bend someone to your will-"

"Ha!" He exclaims. "Then you don't see the truth of the matter. What if I told you that the reason the Blood Council is killing witches is not to free the land of witchcraft but rather take the power of magic for themselves?"

"Bullshit," you hiss.

Ezekiel gazes at you for an instant and then crosses his arms. "Let me make an offer. If I let you go, promise to never bother me again. You will leave me unharmed and in return I will not turn you into a toadsie.

"Toadsie?" You frown.

"My little brother used to call them that," Ezekiel replies, a smile flitting across his face before his expression clouds. "Anyway, what say you?"

"Go to hell," you growl, wiggling in the seat.

Your bonds are secure, you won't be going anywhere anytime soon. Ezekiel steps forward and casually slips his hand into the collar of your shirt. Goosebumps rise on your skin as you feel the tips of his fingers brush over the tops of your breasts.

"Get your filthy hands out of my-" Your words die away as he holds up your necklace.

"What's this?" He asks with a smirk. "One would think it's just a normal piece of jewelry but it isn't, is it?"

"It's an Oath Chain, not that it matters to you," you grit your teeth.

"Your little slave-chain. So, you aren't doing this out of free will after all."

"What?" You squint up at him. "What do you mean by "slave-chain"?"

"You were warned to never leave a witch alive, correct? Well, this thing makes sure you don't. You have no reason to leave your enemy alive. The moment you do, the pendant will release a poison into your heart, slowly killing you. The Blood Council doesn't take chances. They'd rather kill an agent than give them up."

"How do you know this?" You demand.

Ezekiel's coffee-colored lips turn up into a mocking smile. "I wasn't born yesterday, Agent Freda."

He knows my name. He knows my fucking name!

"Who gave you my name?" You narrow your eyes.

His smile widens. "Freda, not every agent of the Blood Council is fond of sucking on their tits and obeying them word for word. So, what is it going to be? Kill me and bury the truth or keep me alive and learn what is really going on in the shadows? I'll let you make your own decision.

He waves a hand and the ropes digging into your skin loosen and drop to the floor. Then he takes a few steps back and waits, hands tucked behind his back.

You rub the sore spots on your arm and glance to where your belongings are lying on the floor. If you're fast enough, you might be able to beat him to them. Outside, thunder rumbles in the sky and a light drizzle starts to come down. You know the rain is ice cold. You'd hate to travel in that

The scent of Ezekiel's magic wafts over to you and you spin around, ready to defend yourself from whatever nefarious spell he's preparing to cast on you. But his back is turned and he's standing at a stove, mixing a bubbling pot of stew. It smells delicious. He doesn't budge or turn.

Is that because of overconfidence or blind trust in you?

You don't know. You glance at your bag once more. Your stomach is grumbling now and you know you don't have any more food. You hadn't been given enough money to cover the whole trip and you've had to choose between eating and a place to sleep far too many times.

"You're welcome to eat and sleep here," Ezekiel cuts into your thoughts.

The fight slides out of you and you're suddenly aware of how hungry and drained you are.

"Fine," you say stiffly. "I'll stay and listen to what you have to say. "Make sure I won't regret it."

"Good, because if you'd walked out that door and left me alive, your necklace would've started to poison you."

You roll your eyes. "Don't be mistaken. If I had chosen walked out that door, you would have been dead."

[deadly-departed]

Awwww thank you for appreciating my request!! I actually love it when you do one of them so I come and check if there's anything new everyday lol. Ok ok so how about some fluffy headcanons with Hanako, Tsukasa, Teru and Akane (male) and how they would react when s/o is on her period? I'm currently on mine rn and I. AM.DYING.

Qfohsxohwgjpvshpcd OMFG YEEEEEESSSS!!!!!!!!! I love your requests much! I didn't expect so many of them at once lmao but I love them!!! Also if you wanna know when I post you can turn on notifications for my acc if you're on moblile-

You are by far my favorite anon that I've had over the course of my Tumblr HC days, which honestly hasn't been too long, at most a few months over all my accounts but still!!! I love you-

Hanako-kun The Bathroom Ghost, Wonder No. 7

He'd be pretty confused and worried

Like

You're bleeding??? Out of your baby maker hole??? Why?????

Once you explain to him what's going on and that you're in pain he'll be the sweetest little ghost boyfriend ever

Are you craving something? He'll do his best to get it. And by that I mean he'll ask Kou or Yashiro to get it for you.

Do you want cuddles? He's not exactly warm but he'll happily cuddle you whenever you want!

Having mood swings because hormones? He'll understand and not hold anything against you!

He is kinda clueless as to why you are on your period and why it's so necessary but just give him time, he'll understand eventually.

He can't exactly do much for getting pads or tampons so guess ya gotta ask Yashiro or Aoi-chan for those but you can't blame him, he's dead.

If he notices blood on your skirt before he understands what's going on his have a panic attack, thinking someone hurt you.

But hey, at least it was him who noticed and not a classmate or teacher.

Just so that he doesn't seem dumb, he'll ask Yashiro questions to help him understand. That leads to her being a blushing mess though.

But you really gotta give him some credit for trying

He never got to learn this when he was alive!

He's just really trying his best, comforting you when you're cramps are bad, playing with your hair to call you down if you get upset, whatever

He's always there for you, even if he doesn't completely understand what's going on with your body

Tsukasa Yugi, The Rumor Spreader

You will never see this boy more confused then when you tell him you're on your period

Like, fr, he would be absolutely clueless and wouldn't understand a single word you say

Use small words, like you're talking to a 4 year old

"Me go hurtie hurtie, body want make baby." You say, trying to hold in your laughter as you watch Natsuhiko in the background losing his shit

"Well then tell it to stop." Tsukasa says, smiling like he had just solved a cold case that has been ongoing for 23 years.

"I can't do that." You say, laughing as Natsuhiko wheezes behind Tsukasa.

"I have to just wait it out. And while I do, I'm going to be in a lot of pain." You explain, trying to help him understand what you're going through.

He nods a bit, seeming to understand.

And like that, he brought you literally everything he thought would help you.

Some of it was nice.

Like tea, sweets, heating pads, a stray cat to pet and keep you company.

Other things, not so much.

"Why did you bring me homework? It's not even mine."

"How did you get a hold of an Exorcist's Staff? It can't even work, it has a seal on it!"

"Did you just bring me someone's shirt?"

Meanwhile Natsuhiko is desperately trying not to fall onto the ground as he laughs.

Sakura has the look of 'yep, same old shit'

Once you leave to go home, he'll ask Sakura questions about periods and for some reason the questions get more and more personal???

"Why do they happen?" "Will I have them?" "What are they like?" When was the last time you had one?"

Yeah after that last question Sakura just noped out of school for the rest of the day.

But like, the boy has a morbid sense of curiosity, what do you expect?

When you come back to school, hell hopefully have a better grasp on the concept (thanks to Natsuhiko being shameless in talking to him about it)

So he'll be better at comforting you

Akane Aoi, The Time Keeper

Gets exceedingly flustered when you mention that you're on your period

Like wow ok that's something to hear at 7 in the morning

Will try to help out as best he can, grabbing a pad or something out of your backpack for you, getting you something to snack on

Just like, not around Teru.

He'll try to laugh it off then immediately feel really bad and just silently get up and get the thing you asked for.

Akane will also cuddle the life out of you if you want, he will never he able to get enough of you

Probably has a stash of your favorite foods somewhere in his room for you to eat when you start to get cramps

His moods will swing with yours.

Are you happy bouncy and giggly? So is he! Are you crying because you just accidentally dropped a pop tart on the floor? He'll be on the floor with you, crying.

But!!! If you get angry for any reason, he'll be so calm and understanding and just let you get all that angy out of you.

Once you're done he'll hug you and kiss the top of your head and ask if you feel better now

Man's really out here, buying a heating pad or a heatable stuffed animal if your cramps get too bad

Cannot tell me that Akane wouldn't make an excuse for you if you have to skip school because of the pain

"Sorry sir, she can't come in today, she has a doctor's appointment."

Teru Minamoto, The School Prince

Surprisingly knows very little about periods

Like yeah he has a sister but she's like, 5 so-

Hes probably red in the face when you told him

He's not grossed out or anything! Just wasn't something he expected to hear when he walked into school that morning.

Has absolutely no shame in asking one of his female classmates for a pad/tampon if you need one

Besides, what are they about to do? Tell the school prince no?

Yeah that's what I thought.

We know this man can't cook for his like so he'll ask his little brother to make some cookies or something.

He's not going to be specific, he doesn't want to embarrass you.

Hell just be like 'hey, would it be alright if you make my girlfriend some cookies? She really likes your baking'

And Kou will just 'yeah why not?' And do it

He'll bring them to school along with one of those stuffed animals that are also a heating pad and hand them to you with a smile on his face and fidbdj-

Just an overall nice experience. Kinda. Youre on your period after all.

Hi! could I get a matchup please? I'm 24 and have a passion for stars and space in general. I love to cook, care for others, and I have a soft spot for cats. I'm very introverted and could be described as shy, I have joint and muscle pain conditions which put me in quite a bit of pain in my day to day life but I try to be positive and not let them get me down to much. I have a huge fear of being alone and also a fear of the dark. In my free time I like to try out new baking recipes. Thank you!

I had to rewrite this because I had this done- but it only posted me saying "Of course you can!" I'm so pissed it's gone cause it was written and I... Liked it... But I'll try my best to make it as good as how I originally did it, RIP. Sorry this took a few days, here you go bb

I match you with... Toudou Heisuke!

Your passion for stars and space would interest him greatly;he wouldn't understand it exactly because he doesn't know anything about thestars. And to be honest, he hasn't got much time to look up at the sky and justthink, and appreciate it. But he'd do it with you. And he'd ask a lot ofquestions. He'd wanna know the constellations, and where they are, or whythey're called what they are. He'd probably be like "but where does spaceend though?" and you're like "it doesn't," and he has a crisisabout it for days. He would also begin to associate the stars and space withyou.

Heisuke would love for you to cook for him, and he'd alsoeven just want to help. Same goes for when you decide you're going to trybaking something new. For baking though, this boy would probably make a hugeass mess and eat half of the stuff before it's made (ie, cookie dough.) he'dalso like to watch you cook. 9/10 you're gonna have to tell him to leave thekitchen cause damn, this boy up in your business the whole time.

Your caring nature for others would pull him in. He'ssomeone who kind of craves attention, and it's not in a bad way. He loves to becared for and esp. after he takes the water of life, he kind of ends up feelinglike he can't be cared for anymore- he didn't have many people to care for himbefore either, but he could spend time with Harada and Nagakura before though.He would also want to dote on you and care for you though, so you give some,you get some.

Above kinda ties into the joint and muscle pain thing- he'dworry about it a lot. He'd like to make sure you're okay and ask you how youare everyday. He'd want to make sure you stay positive- like how you try tostay positive. If you ever start to feel down, he'd start to do whatever hecould to make you smile. He really looks up to your positivity towards yourpain, etc. and he finds himself also trying to be more positive (if we'retalking in the Hakuouki verse, not modern AU, that applies to him becoming afury.) and things that affect him, be it physical or mental.

Heisuke is pretty extroverted. He likes to talk (or that'show I picture him) and he likes to smile. You two might be able to balance oneanother in that he might be able to help you be a bit more out there, and youmight be able to help him relax/calm down a bit. But he'd be very understandingof your shyness, and respect that if you don't want to go somewhere or dosomething, then you don't have to.

Heisuke can be a bit clingy. So you'd likely hardly everhave a chance to feel alone. Your fear of being alone wouldn't have a chance toactually manifest cause he'd be there all the time. I also think Heisuke has abit of a fear of loneliness, so he might find comfort in you. For your fear ofthe dark, he'd be the type of guy to take out a candle (in the canon universe)or a flashlight (in an modern AU) and make a bunch of weird handgestures/puppets on the wall that always fucking suck and it'd be hard tofigure out what they are. He'd do that till you fell asleep, etc. He's reallyloving.

Oh! Also, y'all go find cats and pet them. He'd love it.

This is a bit all over the place, so I'm sorry about that!But I hope this is okay
