Mera naam... (Monkey man Kid X Reader)

A/n: uhhhh idk if I like it as much as coconut & honey but enjoy!

'you should never lie'

his mother once told him with angry eyes that he hated to see so much. When Kid was just 8 years old, he had lied to his poor mother about going to play near the river just in front of their humble home, instead, going off far away into the market because he wanted to buy the bangle she's been eyeing for a while.

He's been a proper good boy, he swore, he helped Mr Deepesh, their next door neighbour, by cleaning up his chicken coop for money. He didn't mean to worry her.

'You shouldn't lie to the people you love, even when you think it's for a good reason, a lie is a lie,' she had worriedly say while hugging her boy to her chest.

He didn't think those words would haunt him 20 years later. Kid didn't even mean to lie to you, he didn't even mean to fall for you, but he had, and his lies only bury him into a deeper hole.

"Bobby? You're ready to go?" your sweet voice snapped him out of his thoughts, the beer he's been nursing while you pack up the kitchen still in his hand.

"yeah," he nods, giving you a small smile. You wrapped your hands around his arm so easily as if you've been doing it for years, in reality it's only been 4 months.

4 months of lies

4 months of love

His mind wandered back to how he got here, with your hands wrapped around his arm, heading for your motorcycle. Was it that night? When he first entered his shift, he noticed you eyeing him. He didn't think much of it, you were a chef after all. You could've just been curious about the new staff.

Was it when he keeps staring at you too? Unintentionally?

But it's definitely when you start smiling at him. He's never had any other thought than revenge then this.. You... You happened.

"hey handsome, where's your mind travelling to?" you asked so sweetly he didn't even mind. Kid didn't know much about himself but he knew he hated when anyone else interrupt his thought process, not you though, never you.

Kid smiled and shook his head. "nowhere, right here," he covered it up with a quick peck on your lips and took your helmet from you, placing it onto your head and pinning it on for you, then with a stupid smile on his face he lifted the visor to boop your nose. You chuckled.

Fuck, is this love? This overwhelming feeling over the slightest thing you do?

He put on his own helmet and got on the bike, waiting till you get on too. His waist never felt so empty until you wrapped your arms around them.

4 months ago he didn't even have his own room, now he's heading to "our store" getting off the bike and ordering "the usual" and going straight to "our spot"

He doesn't even know who he is anymore.

Your kiss on his lips brought him back to reality.

"congrats, baby, on making it to VIP floor." you said with a smile on your lips.

If only you knew why he wanted to be on VIP floor so bad.

"thank you, jaan," he whispered softly, arms around your waist, swaying left to right lightly as if dancing to a song. He leaned down and kissed you again. "what's this? What's wrong?" damn you, you always somehow knew, your finger tracing his eyebrows as if to pull the frown out of his face.

He didn't know what to say. Tell you what? He's not at all who you think he is? He's plotting to kill a man? Burn the hotel? Kill one of the most influential fucking man in India?

"hey, you can tell me, Bobby, I'm here," you called that name so lovingly he had to physically fight from flinching.

In a perfect world where he isn't such a coward he'll open his mouth and tell you the truth but the truth is he's just that, a coward.

"i swear it's nothing, jaanu, just... Tired," he smiled and hugged you burying his nose in your neck, scared that he'll forget what you smell like once you find out who he is.

Your fingers snaked into his curls, playing with them like always, like it's yours, like he's yours.

"I've got you, always," you whispered into his ear, planting a soft kiss after.

He hope you meant that

Because after almost 2 months of disappearing, hiding from the police in the temple with the hijras, he's back, at your house, knocking.

You opened the door, you looked great but your eyes looks almost dead, somber.

"jaanu," that's all he could whisper, seeing you again is...

You tried to close the door but his reflexes made him able to hold the door open.

"please, please just let me explain myself"

You looked at him and scoff. "explain what? I don't even know who you are, what could you possibly say to me? What was your plan? Kill Rana and pin it on me or something? Is that it?" your voice gets shakier and shakier by each sentence, your grip on the door loosen. Kid quickly shook his head.

"no, no, never, jaanu," he had wrapped his arms around your crying figure, his body is half through the door, cupping your cheek and tenderly caressed your tears away.

"I trusted you! I loved you!" you cried out and all he could do was hold onto you while you smack your fists on his chest again and again.

"I know, i know," he whispered, he lead you inside as you limped against him.

On the couch he held you, tighter than usual, he lets you cry onto his chest, not caring about the condition of his shirt.

"you didn't call, you didn't explain, you just vanished, I thought you fucking died!" you cried out.

"I know jaan, I'm sorry, I'm sorry" thats all he can offer. He kept whispering apologies and sweet nothings into your ear until you end up falling asleep on his chest. He laid you down on the couch, planted a soft kiss on your forehead and went to the kitchen. Skillfully manoeuvring through your kitchen, making a meal as he's been there countless of time. He didn't keep track of time, only glancing at the clock when he hears a croak of your voice calling his 'name'.

"I'm here jaan," Kid said walking towards the couch to see your eyes teared again.

"I thought you left again," you said with a whine in your voice, he sat next to you, arm pulling your towards him to kiss your head. "I'm here," he repeated.

"I went to make you some food, it's pretty early I don't think you've eaten," he explained, you simply nodded.

"I... I want you to explain to me who you are and what's happening." you said voice beyond tired.

"my name isn't Bobby,"

"yeah no shit," you scoffed, he only nodded, he's glad really, you're letting him hold you, touch you that's a good sign, right?

" my name... Is Kid. I worked at Queenie's hotel because I'm... Plotting revenge on Rana and Baba shakti. For killing my mother." his voice grew quieter and quieter. The obvious pain in his voice when he mentioned his mother.

"my hands," you looked at those hands, his scarred hands he meant, the ones you would plant kisses on after a night of passion, the ones you loved so much. "they got hurt when I tried to put out the fire my mother was set on... By Rana Singh," he said, face grew harder, voice turned colder.

You stared into his eyes. "Kid," you tried calling his name. He looked at you, all attention on you as if nothing else matters.

"I swear I didn't mean to rope you into this. I didn't mean to hurt you, I couldn't... I couldn't stay away from you, I tried. You consume me, my thoughts, I've never thought of anything else but revenge all my life and you walked into it and make me feel alive again. As if I could have any other life than just death after revenge. I never wanted to live but when I hold you I feel this fear of death that I've never felt before. Understand that all was real, my feelings for you was real, is real," he begged, his hands on your cheeks again.

"but you tried to kill him anyway, why?"

He shook his head. "when I saw him. When I saw that bastard I lost it. Why does he get to live his life while my mother is ashes somewhere on the forest floor?" he grunted, face angered.

You do what you always does, your finger start tracing his eyebrows, his face visibly soften. Like he could breathe again. He took your other hand and kissed it, leaning into your touch. He had been craving you, and you knew. "you're going after him again aren't you?"

"yeah" was all he could breathe out.

You sighed but you understood. The rage he has, it's all he knows.

"will you come back?"

His face lighten. "you want me to?" he asks, hopeful.

"always, always come back to me."

"but I'll be a fugitive by then," he said worried, he's not sure worried that you'll change your mind or that you'll be a fugitive too if you chose to follow him.

You shook your head. "I don't care, come back, we'll run together, I rather not live without you by my side. But Kid.."

"hm?" he asked, looking at you intently with your hands on his. "don't lie to me ever again. Ever." you warned.

He nodded his head and pulled you into him. "never, jaanu." he kissed you deeply, deeper than he ever did that day, lead your body the way he missed. He devoured you full that day, passion spilling into physical touches. He need you to understand his love. He needs you to scream his name. His real name.

The Candy Man-Part Seven// W.W.

Info/Warnings: fluff, referring to cum as "cream," male receiving oral sex-kinda graphic

Willy came back into the bedroom later on and spooned you under the covers, "Mae just needed her diaper changed. Mocha is still sleeping soundly." He gave you a tired yet sweet kiss on cheek.

"Thank you for checking on them." you said, taking a hold of his hand that rested at your waist.

"Don't thank me, I love taking care of them. They are my babies, after all. And they are so cute. They look exactly like their Mommy." he nuzzled his nose against your cheek.

"Oh no they don't," you argued, "they are your little clones." you yawned, scooting back further to nestle warmly against him, "I gave birth to mini Willy Wonkas."

"I never want to disagree with you on anything, honey, but you're wrong on this one. They are just like you." he cuddled you tighter, resting his head on you.

He would not let you win this one. You were telling the truth, you thought. Maple and Mocha had green eyes, dark chocolate hair that was starting to curl, and high cheekbones, but he would fight this until the very end.

........

Luckily, the next morning, you woke before Willy did. It was your turn to get the twins ready for the day, and you were glad to spend the time with them.

They were both awake when you arrived in the nursery, bright green eyes opened. They were happy to see you. You changed their diapers and got them into some cute clothes for the new day.

You carried them downstairs and sat and let them nurse for a little while until they were full. When they were done, you put them each in a baby seat with some toys and they were content. You pumped some extra milk and put it in a little jar in the refrigerator for Willy later.

You got to working on a pancake breakfast for you and Willy. You used some Wonka chocolate chips in them, of course. Before you knew it, you heard his footsteps coming down to the kitchen, looking well rested, but he had messy curls, of course.

"Awe, look at my little family." he cooed, kissing each of the babies on the cheek and making them giggle. "Daddy loves you so much." he sang, smiling at them with such joy. He came over to you, wrapping his arms around you as you flipped pancakes on the stove.

"Good morning, Daddy." you smiled, kissing his lips.

"Mm, good morning. Smells amazing in here, my love." he gave you a little peck on the lips before heading over to the coffee pot to pour himself a mug.

"There's some milk for your coffee in the fridge." you said, plating up some pancakes.

Willy looked at you, wide eyed and in disbelief.

You gave him a little wink.

He was speechless as he opened up the fridge and picked up the small jar with your creamy liquid in it. "Oh honey, thank you." he said, twisting open the jar and pouring the milk into his hot coffee mug. He saved the last little bit to drink directly from the jar, "Ahh, it's so good. No wonder the twins are so happy and healthy when they've got a diet based on your milk. They love it too."

"Well, Mr. Wonka," you began, handing him a plate of fresh, steaming flapjacks, "you might like my milk, but I want your cream at nap time, sir."

Willy's eyes nearly popped out their sockalets, "Oh, of course, my darling." he gulped as he took the plate from your hand.

You sat down and had breakfast together as you watched the babies play.

“Oh, babe, I’ve come up with an idea on how to boost your milk production.” he announced with his signature enthusiasm.

“Oh yeah? How’s that?”

“Well, I’ve read that it’s all about hydration, and coconut water is perfect. I’m going to come up with a drink for you to try. I’ll add strawberries and cream to the coconut water for sweetness.”

“Awe, Willy that’s so sweet. And if it’s good, maybe we can start making it for the shoppe. Along with other flavors!” it made you so happy when he fueled his creativity and imagination, “We could market to breastfeeding mothers, young children, the elderly, anyone that needs extra hydration.”

“That’s exactly what I thought too! An idea worth expanding upon. And speaking of expanding, which you and I have talked about with our business, I think we are going to need a factory. We have simply outgrown the chocolate shoppe. It's what we will need to share my chocolate with the world, y/n.” his eyes had the same ambitious gleam about them as the day you met him, just a young man trying to get the word out about his magnificent candy.

“Oh, wow, a whole factory. I love it, Willy. It sounds amazing.” you were in awe, “but where would we build it?”

“That’s the best part, I’m looking to buy that abandoned castle outside of town. It’s got great bones, y/n!”

“That’s great! And think of all the jobs it will provide to the community! Oh, honey, this is your best idea yet, I’m so happy.” you got up from you seat and hugged your handsome, smiling lover.

Willy kissed you and said, “I think this will be wonderful for our family, darling. If all goes well, Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory will be theirs to run one day.” he looked fondly at your twins. They chewed on their toys and jabbered gleefully back and forth.

“It will, my love. I know that you can achieve anything you set your mind to.”

“We, y/n. We can do anything, the four of us. We will have our very own chocolate empire.”

…….

The twins ate once more, and Willy put them down in their cribs for their nap. You practically dragged him by the collar and into your bedroom.

“It is so sexy seeing you come so alive when you speak of your dreams and ideas.” you said, unbuttoning his pants.

“Why thank you.” he said nonchalantly.

“I told you that I wanted your cream, Mr. Wonka, so you better give it to me.” you kneeled in front of him, taking his thick cock into your mouth.

“Mmm.” he moaned behind closed lips as you sucked him.

You slurped back and forth on his cock, bobbing your head. You loved how he filled your mouth and rutted his hips softly into the back of your throat. It was as if he was so excited that he couldn’t contain himself.

Willy brushed his fingers through your hair, keeping your locks out of your face while you pleasured him.

You let his cock plop out of your mouth, his deep pink tip leaking transparent cum. You slowly stroked his veiny shaft with your hands, and moved down, running your tongue over his balls. He was full, and ready to burst. You gently suckled at them before sliding your tongue along the underside of his cock. You teased his smooth tip with your puckered lips just a minute longer.

“Aww, here it comes. Take my cream, my love. It’s all for you.” Willy panted softly.

You opened your mouth, tongue flat out, ready to catch his stream. And he did not disappoint; his load was thick and plentiful, creamy yet salty. It was exactly what you’d been craving.

For the Christmas ask game: eggnog, pudding and glitter! 🎄✨💖

Eggnog: What’s your favourite Christmas time drink?

I am a sucker for peppermint mochas and Mexican hot chocolate! My friends and I have started a tradition of going to the big Christmas market and wandering around with a Mexican hot chocolate, so now I associate that flavour with this tradition.

Pudding: Name your perfect Christmas dinner!

So another person asked me this so I’ll answer this one with my perfect Christmas appetizers and desserts!! My family loves Christmas so our Christmas dinner party is something we plan out months in advance. We are also Sri Lankan Tamil, so there’s a lot of ethnic food we serve too!

I’m putting it behind the read more because it’s image heavy.

I absolutely love Sri Lankan mutton rolls. I’m actually super picky about them too, so as of late I’ve learned how to make my own. Curried goat mixed with mashed potatoes, wrapped in a chewy wrapper, breaded and then shallow fried.

Another one is Sri Lankan fish cutlets. We call them cutlets, but it is what non-Tamil people would call “croquettes.” My family’s version uses shredded king fish, but I’ve seen some families use salmon and tuna. You combine it with potatoes, red onions, green chilies and parsley, then bread and shallow fry!

It can be really spicy depending on how many green chilies you put in lol.

One year I made chili lime shrimp cups with arugula and I still think about them.

To balance out all the savoury, my sister’s shortbread cookies. Specifically with her Miffy cookie cutters.

As for dessert, I like having options 🤪

Williams Sonoma peppermint bark (ok, I also just snack on this lmao)

Watalppam: my aunt makes THE BEST version of this. It is a Sri Lankan coconut custard pudding topped with cashews.

Payasam - I think non-Tamil south Asians call it “kheer” but our version is a saffron/cardamom-spiced tapioca pudding. I specifically only like the Tamil version (I’m so biased LOL), because we make it “tropical” by adding in pineapple, mango or splashes of coconut milk into it.

Bûche de Noël: I love love Christmas cakes and this version is my favourite. So much so that this year I got one as my own birthday cake (my birthday is a bit after Christmas). There’s a French bakery here that makes this “modern” version that I loved:

It contains: vanilla mousse and chocolate mousse, crunchy hazelnut/almond Praliné Feuilletine with a chocolate sponge.

Glitter: What is the weirdest Christmas decoration you own/owned?

So to be completely honest, I don’t think I own any. My family and I are very into having particular Christmas trees (every year I decide on the colour scheme LOL), so this was really hard to decide! I think maybe the giant nutcracker? I personally like it but my sister thinks it’s creepy.

The bear is cute but it has this annoying song it dances to. I took out the batteries because it pissed me off LOL.

Danube River Cruise, Part 4

Still in Budapest

Still doing walk about. So much to see and do in Budapest. This is their “Funnel Cake.” This is common street fare.

It is dough wrapped around a metal form and then turned over a charcoal fire. As it cooks it is periodically moved closer to the heat. Two different shapes. The one becomes a cone and can have ice cream placed in it. Mine was the “classic”, which is tube shaped, with Nutella chocolate smeared on the inside. They forgot the coconut on the outside. I think they all go through a sugar bath after cooking.

We were looking for this “Street Market” which was next door to the little food truck stop where I bought the funnel cake. The Street Market was not a Farmers market which we were expecting. Save your money on a “Bad acid trip” and visit this place.

Multiple bars and a couple of open air shops. Two floors of what you would expect to see in an opium den. A cross between Bourbon Street and Key West. I am sure it is wild at night.

This is the “Great Synagogue” in the Jewish District. Surprisingly we only saw a handful of Hasidic Jews in the district. Second largest synagogue in Europe. Lots of history and not all good. It did survive WW 2 fairly unscathed. But its people did not.

This is inside with our English speaking guide giving his talk. Very ornate. All men had to wear a yamaka. So they gave us a paper yamaka with a bobby pin. With my short hair, I more or less balanced it in place and held it on when outside in the wind. The bald guy really had problems.

This is a reminder of the Jewish hostages held in Palestine. We have seen much graffiti starting in Zurich and here of “Free Palestine” with some fighting back by the Jews. It has now been a little over a year of captivity for the hostages.

The Jewish faith forbids bodies to be buried near the synagogue. Yet there are over 2,000 bodies buried in the courtyard here. All were killed and left in the street at the end of the WW 2. Allied forces quickly buried these here in mass graves. Only half have been identified. It is also forbidden in the Jewish faith to exhume or move a body. So they are a grim reminder of what has transpired in the past.

From the Jewish synagogue we visited St. Stephen’s Cathedral. I need to specify it is St. Stephen Cathedral in Budapest. We visited several others with the same name in different cities. The largest Cathedral in Budapest. I would like to formally post my objection to the building of such tall Cathedrals. I can not get them in the photograph without it warping the image. I also have to strain my neck to see the spires and the ceilings inside.

Pictures just do not do these houses of worship justice. So much symbolism and artistry everywhere.

The Cathedral is named after King Stephen founder of the state. He died in 1038 and was later Canonized.

Before heading back we stopped by for a pint of Guinness. Which reminds of us Neil and Beverly and our trip through Anglesey, Wales.

Having a traditional Hungarian dish of pork knuckle. I can highly recommend it for meat eaters in the crowd.

Desert of caramelized strudel.

This is the after dinner drink of the local moonshine “Palinka”, no open flames please.

Next morning we toured the Parliament Building. It is so big you can not get it all in the photograph from street level. You will see the whole thing lit up when we depart on the ship the next night.

This is looking back at the front door. Unfortunately there are very few places where we can take photos inside. We saw the gold Crown studded with gems, protected by two soldiers at all times.

This is equivalent to the Senate floor. With students receiving a lecture at the time.

This is a monument of 60 pairs of shoes. Symbols of the 15,000-20,000 Jews who were required to remove their shoes, prior to being shot and their bodies dumped in the Danube. This happened during 4 months in WW 2. The shoes were considered valuable at the time.

After checking out of the “Hampton by Hilton” we took the subway to the ship. Budapest boasts about it being the second oldest electrified subway in Europe, opening in 1896. The strange thing is after buying your very small ticket above ground and riding the subway. It is not until you try to leave that you have to find the very small paper ticket in one of many pockets. Two very tough looking women, probably prior East German border guards, caught the women behind us.

We find our ship Avalon Illumination (warned: don’t call it a boat) at Dock 6. The cruise line is Avalon, which has been in tourism for 100 years. They supply us with an app that gives us all the information we need. Including the time and quickest way to find the ship if we are walking around town.

This is our sea cabin. We drop our bags and head back into the city.

We cruise through the large market two blocks away. Food stalls are on the first floor. Souvenirs and such on the upper floor. I buy some pork rinds.

Nancy finds a man with a chicken. He would not answer which came first, the chicken or the egg.

These are small pastries filled with different fillings. Walnut paste was the classic. It was a bit dry but very popular. The meat shop next door had every part of a duck on display.

This shows just how big the market is. So many people selling the same souvenirs or food, you wonder how they survive.

Back to the ship for our first night onboard. We get our safety brief and meet the Captain and crew. In an emergency we are all supposed to meet on the top deck. The Danube is so shallow there is a good chance the boat would sink to the bottom and we would still be 10 feet above the water drinking our beer and wine.

Nancy and I passed up the tours that the ship set up since we had already toured the city for two days. Instead we did a walking tour with a local woman who was passionate about history. The walking tours can really get into the specifics. This courtyard had just about all the architecture styles: Baroque, Gothic, neoclassical and neo-ugly. The far building was bombed and replaced with bland architecture, which our guide aptly labeled as neo-ugly.

This is the last day of us walking 5-7 miles a day with quick stops by the hotel room. Tours on the cruise are much less. Definitely trying to walk off as many calories as we can. So much to eat and see!

This is the “Chain bridge.” The chain refers to the links between the vertical columns. The chains are like huge bicycle chain links. Very ornate and the only bridge from Buda to Pest for years. Originally open in 1849 and one of the largest bridges in the world at the time. The bridge was destroyed by retreating Germans in 1945 and reopened 1949.

Back to the ship for our embarkation at 5:30 and sailing upstream to Vilshofen, Austria.

They dock up to 3 boats side by side. This is the bow of a second ship tied along side. We left first. So they untie from us and they move back and out a little. Then we untie from the shore, and pull ahead. They immediately retie to shore at the same dock. These guys make it look easy.

35, 56, 68 for the 30+ ask game

YAAAAY thank you for the ask :D

35. Aisle at the grocery store you never bother walking down?

The candy/sweets and chips/snacks aisles. I don't really snack throughout the day and don't like sweets that much, so those aisles are pointless for me to walk through.

56. Favorite low-effort meal that you make?

Beef bulgogi, hands down; no competition. It's super easy. The hardest part is waiting for your beef to finish marinading.

Here's the recipe if you're interested:

Ingredients 1 LBS beef (buy it pre-sliced or slice it yourself) 2.5 Tbsp soy sauce 2.5 Tbsp oyster sauce 2.5 Tbsp sugar 2.5 Tbsp granulated sugar 2.5 Tbsp mirin 2 Tbsp minced garlic 2 Tbsp sesame oil Combine sauces and seasonings in a bowl. Mix them together. Add beef to the bowl. Make sure your beef is completely covered in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Place the bowl in the refrigerator and allow the beef to marinade for at least 30 minutes. (the longer, the better imo) Heat a pan (it doesnt matter what kind; both normal and nonstick pans work) to medium heat and add about a tablespoon of neutral oil (or coconut oil) to it. Cook the beef until it's done. If you have sliced your beef thinly (bulgogi style) it should maybe take about 10 minutes tops for the beef to cook If you don't have an Asian market by you that sells your beef sliced thinly, ask your butcher (or whoever is working the meat counter) to slice your beef into ⅛ inch (3.2 mm) thick slices... Or just cut the meat yourself. I just make rice in the rice cooker to go with it, but you should do whatever you feel like doing.

68. Are your garbage bags scented or unscented?

We normally buy unscented, but we recently started buying a bag size up from what we usually buy (20 Gal bags to 30 Gal) and our grocery store doesn't have 30 gallon garbage bags in anything other than scented. I've avoided scented bags in the past because their scent has always been obnoxiously strong, but these one's aren't. I guess garbage bag manufacturers realized that we just want odor neutralization--not a bag that smells like artificial flower smell and waste lol

Here's the list of questions for this prompt if you'd like to ask me something

[monkey-madness-by-rokkr]

Okay sooooo…

I had a coffee creamer explode on me then foam up like it was a dog with rabies for a solid 10 minutes…

So here’s a venting one shot, is super short

Cursed Milk

Pigsy hummed merrily. The tomatoes were just the right plumpness, the carrots nice and girth, and oh Buddha were those mushrooms on a great deal! Today’s shopping trip was an absolute blast!

Kneeling down he showed his little Souse chef in training one of the tomatoes, “look Xiaotian, see how nice n plump this Tomato is? Just waaatch out! Don’t want anything that looks rotten,” he cooed.

He only found the kid a couple days ago but Heavens it was creepy how blank his eyes were…

The kid followed directions p easily but getting him to even speak a word or react? It’s easier to get a date with the Moon Rabbit than that…

And like usual the kid just watched him with tightly shut lips.

“Ah well… maybe some day you’ll learn how to appreciate good food,” he sighed.

Moving a bit further down the Market he spotted a Fresh Milk stall. Perfect! He’s been needing some new coconut milk for the Curry Special!

Walking up to the stall he hummed, “got anything fresh?”

From behind a curtain of silk came the most beautiful of women.

Her black hair tied up with chopsticks. Plump lips painted with a lovely hue of purple. Dark eyes that could state into your soul for days wrapped in velvety purple. A dress that hugged her Lucious curves tightly.

Buddha give him strength!

Suddenly he noticed something seems to have caught on his jacket. Looking down Qi Xiaotian had a vice grip on his jacket…

Odd…

He’s never done that before…

And the kid wasn’t looking at the pig demon anymore…

“Hello fine sir,” the woman purred, “how may I help you today?”

“Oh ah… I need some milk. A Jug if you wouldn’t mind?” Pigsy asked, scratching the back of his head some while chuckling nervously.

“Of course… and might I say your little one is adorable? Are you baby sitting or does he take after his mother?” Cooed the Maiden as she pulled out some news paper to wrap around the glass jug for safer transport.

“Neither. He’s a foundling,” Pigsy offered, gently taking the bag from her.

“Ah, of course,” the maiden hummed, “I wish you both safe travels and excellent health~”

Gently moving Xiaotian’s hand from the jacket to holding his own hand.

Back at home Pigsy hummed merrily. Putting the groceries away while thinking of that beautiful woman.

When he got to the bag from the Maiden he found himself eager to taste test the new milk… maybe make some up with a cup of tea?

Suddenly Xiaotian gripped his jacket again as Pigsy held the wrapped bottle of milk.

Pigsy looked down to his young charge, “everythin alright kid?”

To be expected, the child didn’t speak. Merely stare at the bottle. Eerily focused on it as if it had personally offended him.

Pigsy rolled his eyes, “okay okay. I’ll pour ya a glass too. We’ll see if tastin it will make ya smile~” Gently prying the surprisingly strong grip from his jacket.

Looking over the bottle he found himself confused as he noticed there was no expiration date in it…

“Okay that’s…” he muttered, turning this way and that. Eventually he tried to pry the lid off and it didn’t yield.

Grumbling with some irritation he went to the kitchen sink and tried the more…

Forceful way~

Piercing the cap with a swift jab of a small Paring knife.

A startled squeak left his muzzle as the cap came flying off and hitting the wall!

Milk gushing from the bottle like a Geiger, foamy and bubbly.

Dropping it he picked up Xiaotian and bolted from the kitchen for fear of a curse harming his child.

The shop did not open for a few days as Curse Specialists had to flush out the entire Shop of the Cursed Milk Foam.

@geniusdonkey

Tadano got surprised to be picked like that. The donkey felt also surprised as the other examined him, though he didn't mind, in fact, right now he only wanted to feel safe considering all he had to go through.

"I met King K. Rool and he tried to kill me with his big gun thing... then this guy, a strange ape like called Dread took me away from the crazy croc but this guy was... ... eating pieces of Kongs... literally... it seemed like he killed other Kongs... I... felt he would kill me as well or something... It was so rare..." he explained nervously.

It wasn't like he wanted to find out Tadano had anything done to him...but he is definitely in the market for catching any minor scratch on the other's face, even if it was from grazing a prickle vine on his walk through the jungle. Because it would give DK the wherewithal to simply break the croc's jaw the next time their paths crossed - no formalities and name calling. Just straight up annhilAPEtion.

Puffing in both disappointment and relief when the donkey gets a clean bill of health, aside from being a little too sweaty, DK let's him slide off his palm until his feet are back safely on the ground. However, the other's next admission blindsides him, so much so that his fur all but flares up, and he leans in partially wrapping himself around the other like a shield as his gaze sits on a nervous swivel.

"That can't be right... Dread is-" A bit lip calms the quiver that threatens him as flashbacks to the night he and the Koopa king set upon the coconut crystal's host island. Bashed against a tree...hands laced with nostalgic menace moving from punched gut to an inquisitive spot on the prince's thigh-He shakes his head, meeting Tadano's gaze with something less furious than before in the wet browns of his eyes.

"He's supposed to be imprisoned on one of our islands. You're saying he's here?! How could that even-" Then he steels himself hearing about what the donkey saw. If it really was Dread and not some ...other kind of Kong eater, then he'd truly gone unhinged.

"Look... it's not safe here. I'll walk you to the nearest warp pipe." No doubt Dad had to know about this- ...since he'd been gone. There was no way DK was about to risk time to go relay possibly old news. He had to find the threat and deal with him - immediately.

baby caramel apples~ portion control by nature My husband says I talk like an old lady sometimes. It's because I say things like "marketing" and "tiding up"...hmmm. So, the other day, I was marketing with my sweet mama and came across "lady apples"- little tiny sweet miniature apples. (Note: this is an updated post, my mom has been under Hospice care the past six months. She's stable, but reading this is a bittersweet memory for me) These are the "Lady Apples" How cute?! Little things are always cute. Unless it's a little bag of cotton candy, that's not good. Did y'all know I'm little? I'm very height challenged at 5'. There. Secret is out. Like, if I ever meet Taylor Swift I'll look like a small child next to her. Same goes for basketball players, people over 5'6".... But, chances are, that's not going to happen. Such is life. I debated  going all super-homemade-Betty-Martha-Crocker-Stewart and making homemade caramel to dip these in. But... with baskets of Halloween candy marked down 90%.... I went with some good old fashioned wrapped caramels. Key word here: DEBATED. Markdown got me. Speaking of really good markdowns... Halloween costumes were 95% off yesterday. I found a cow costume complete with a pink rubber udder. It's the perfect Christmas gift. Really. I'm going to wrap it up and give it to my hubby as a gag. And, he did say he'll dress up next Halloween. Tee-hee. No, that's not his only gift. He will get a shiny bell to wear, too. UPDATE: This post is being re-vamped and , turns out he has worn the costume on several occasions. I am thinking of banning my family members from reading this site for the next month... that way, I can tell everyone what I bought/made/found. For now, I can tell ya about stuff for the hubby and my mom. They both don't come here. Now, I've got five kids,  they don't read this either, so I can share with y'all the basic Christmas I'm planning. Basic gift wise. But extravagant on the memories and fun. Instead of stressing over money and gifts this year I am doing the five thing route. Five things: - something they want (this is where the fun toy comes in) - something they need - something to read - something to wear - shoes Of course there will be the additional things from family , but that's what I'm committing myself- and budget to. Anyway, back to apples: It's not rocket science. You melt the caramels, and dip the apples.  Place them in a nice ant-free location to set up.  Yes, those ants tend to know where the sweets are. Grrr. There must be a shortage of ant food outside, because they keep coming to my house to eat. I felt my apples looked a little "naked" so I dressed them up with some melted chocolate: baby caramel apples #ratingval# from #reviews# reviews Print Prep time: 5 mins Cook time: 10 mins Total time: 15 mins Ingredients 1 bag wrapped caramels selection of apples to dip; washed and dried. 2 tablespoons cream 1/2 cup chocolate chips, (to melt/drizzle) optional: chopped nuts, coconut, sprinkles to top Instructions Unwrap caramels and place in a microwave safe bowl.

3 Best Ayurvedic Herbs For Hair

This blog gives a glimpse of the top 3 best Ayurvedic Herbs for hair. Hello ladies, Glamour World is once again here with some inspiring beauty tips. But this time, we choose to enlighten you on the miracles of Ayurveda. Hair loss, hair thinning, dandruff, premature hair graying are common problems every woman tends to face in their regular lifestyle. Undoubtedly, you have myriad hair care products to choose from. But are you aware of their chemical composition? Do you know what your hair type is or what your hair exactly demands? Well, the questions are many but the answer comes in a single word. To wrap up all your hair-related problems, resort to the safest solution – Ayurveda.

What is Ayurveda? For those in oblivion, Ayurveda is the traditional system of healing your body, mind, and spirit using a holistic approach that includes herbal remedies, exercise, diet, meditation, breathing techniques, and other physical therapies. To draw a basic guideline on Ayurveda, you need to know that this ancient ritual asserts that our body is chiefly constructed of five elements – air, fire, water, earth, ether, and significantly three doshas – Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Vata is associated with our nervous system, Pitta performs digestion and metabolism while Kapha keeps the body well immune and provides strength to bone joints. Ayurvedic experts believe that all hair-related issues can be trouble-shooting if your Pitta dosha is healthy and sound.

How is Ayurvedic treatment helpful for your hair? Ayurvedic treatment includes a plethora of herbs that inherit the solutions for your hair loss. Let’s figure out the perks you can enjoy from Ayurveda –

Ayurvedic hair oils are extremely effective on hair fall. They promote hair growth and the regeneration of hair follicles.

Ayurveda also contributes to moisturizing your scalp and hair strands perfectly.

Ayurveda can be great to treat dry and brittle hair.

Top 3 Ayurvedic Herbs For Hair:

Amla – If you do a market survey, you will find out that most of the hair care products include amla. But you need the refined, unadulterated version for yourself. Amla is enriched with Vitamin C, iron, antioxidants, gallic acid, and carotene. Amla strengthens the hair roots and prevents hair loss and premature hair greying. Your scalp experiences better blood circulation as well as eradicates dandruff.

How to use amla? You can purchase amla powder and combine it with lime juice. Stir well to make the paste and apply it to your scalp. Leave it to dry for an hour. Wash your scalp properly with cold water. You will be relieved of dandruff and itchiness for sure. You can also explore the wonders of  Glow Hair Anti-Dandruff Pack.

Coconut – Coconut is another wonder in the world of restoring hair health. The fatty acid content in coconut-like lauric and capric acid is rich in anti-fungal and anti-microbial properties that shield your hair from breaking and splitting. Coconut milk is equally beneficial for your hair. Come, let’s have a look at how to use refined coconut oil for your hair.

          How to use coconut? You need grated coconut. Place the grated pieces on a pan and simmer well for around 5 minutes. Add a tablespoon of crushed methi and a tablespoon of black pepper to the cooled-down coconut pieces. Now apply the mix to your scalp and then wash off with your favorite shampoo.

Shatavari – If you are unknown of what Shatavari offers, then learn with us. Shatavari belongs to the asparagus family that is in-built with anti-inflammatory properties. It soothes your scalp, reduces irritation, and de-stress your body and mind. Stress is a predominant factor in hair loss. Moreover, Shatavari ensures adding color, luster, and thickness to your hair.

       How to use Shatavari? Shatavari does its job best when combined with a cup of milk. You can consume half a spoon of Shatavari powder with warm water too, every day to revitalize your hair, strengthen its roots and impart anti-aging properties. Ayurveda is an unparalleled discovery of nature that has transported us to the world of new, novel ideas for healing your body, mind, and soul. Glamour World incorporates Ayurvedic properties in its new range of hair care products and recommends you to visit the website and get your purchase list ready.
