.・College Ellie Headcannons゜・

Note: This is more loser Ellie-centric, I wanna maybe do a part two with just reader and her. Some sexual content and mentions of getting zooted below so 18+ warning!

•Art major, but she’s not the typical hot artsy lesbian you dream of her to be. More like rolls a fat blunt and sketches in her journal, it’ll either turn out to be a masterpiece or look like a crackhead had a go with her paper.

•Speaking of art major, when she’s horny and frustrated because she refuses to hook-up…she draws the lewdest art known to woman-kind. Those are her real masterpieces, but she can’t exactly turn them in for credit in her art class, can she? Fuck, the things that woman can make, though. Lowkey uses her exes naked bodies as inspiration though, maybe kind of weird but who’s gonna stop her?

•Doesn’t eat the food on campus half the time. She is embarrassingly addicted to Tai Pei containers and the occasional microwavable egg-roll. “That shit’s nasty, Ellie! Goddamn, just eat the Tacos 4 Life we have on campus.” Her friends will all tell her, but no. It’s like a guilty pleasure. Maybe it’s cause she grew up lower class and is used to TV dinners, has a special trauma bond to food that should be banned and probably is outside of America.

•Wardrobe consists of band tees, honorable mentions to Gorillaz and Falling in Reverse.

•Is actually an insanely talented writer. After reading her journals I feel like nobody talks about how emotional her entries are and she keeps a journal of her own in college for sure, not only for sketching and organizing art but also to write all her feelings out.

“Fuck me, this is my last year being gay.” -After her and Cat’s break-up, probably.

•Hates coffee. Definitely game-cannon, but this is important to the college setting. It’s the classic Monster or nothing, and she will absolutely judge you for drinking coffee. She calls it “the devil’s dirt.” So dramatic.

•Used to watch bad Hallmark movies because of Dina, now watches them alone because she misses Dina. There’s nothing like crying your eyes out to Christmas Under Wraps!

•Has a collection of rubber ducks on her shelf. Doesn’t use her very small space for normal things like her wallet or books, no. It’s rubber fucking ducks.

•Also has a slipper collection in her tiny closet, from Pikachu all the way to dinosaur feet.

•Has the “two-seater” t-shirt (iykyk) but refuses to wear it in public because she’s a pussy

•Favorite fruit is grapes. I just know my girl loves grapes when she can get her hands on them steer clear bc she will NOT share. Favorite candy is gummy worms!

•Actually wears rain boots when it’s wet outside or snowing

•Likes wired earbuds over airpods, listens to Pearl Jam when she misses living with Joel

•Is oddly good at making those little paper stars and has a huge grocery bag of then in all different patterns and colors

•When she starts dating you she shows you her dinosaur cookie-cutter collection because you're really good at baking. (Also bc she wants to see you in a frilly cute apron!)

•Is a slut for hugs. Kisses are cool, sex is great but agghhh Ellie just loves wrapping her arms around you and sometimes when you two are in her dorm she'll just hug you for what feels like hours on end, she calls it her 'weekly therapy.'

•Loves high sex because when she's sober she hates feeling like she's awkward or all up in her head. She also has a tendency to invite you over for sex after smoking.

•Has a septum piercing. Maybe this one is self-indulgent because I would go ballistic over seeing actual Ellie with one, but I say that college Ellie got hers pierced at 16 and didn't cry over the pain but wanted to literally jump off of a bridge the entire healing process it was so bad.

•Sometimes when you kiss her, her septum will slide over and look uneven and she feels fucking NIGERIA FALLS in her boxers when you fix it for her. Also for those of you who are sluts for glasses, you can fix her glasses too and it'll make her just as weak.

Buttercreams, 7 different kinds!

buttercreams are frostings with butter as the primary fat in the recipe. butter gives them a prominent flavor, a creamy texture, and relatively good stability.

i tried pulling the main seven from a site i had bookmarked but it + tumblr continually crashed (tumblr likes to crash a lot lately, it’s really weird), so i had to consult google for them besides the main point here:

there are Simple Buttercreams and True Buttercreams.

Simple buttercreams are made by mixing of ingredients. they’re just that, simple. They are thicker and exceptionally stable frostings so they’re perfect for easy, reliable frosting. The science side of this says that they contain a high rate of undissolved sugar, and as a result, they can form a crust, ideal for intricate, long-lasting piped decorations. The primary member of this category and the one everyone learns in cake making 101 is the American buttercream.

True Buttercreams meanwhile require creating an emulsion, which takes more steps and time. These bad boys are smooth and creamy texture with no graininess as the sugar’s been dissolved. Even with more time, effort, and ingredients, they’re the ones the pros use, the kinds you find in restaurants, nice bakeries, and on tv.

now! we have that down. please save this for future reference. the internet is fracturing fast and tumblr has been… weirdly buggy lately? so take this and write it down 🤍

***also may I recommend that you use unsalted butter for these, too, especially if one of them calls for a pinch of salt

Classic American Buttercream is the most recognizable and popular frosting. As I said, it’s what you learn the very first time you make a frosting of any kind. If the recipe calls for butter and powdered sugar/confectioners sugar, it’s probably American Buttercream. It’s sweet and dense, and it’s nostalgic.

Can be used for piping flowers—you might’ve seen it on birthday cakes when you were a kid or you’ll see it on the cakes in the bakery at the grocery store.

it’s also really easy to make, such that you don’t need a mixer (just make sure that butter is s o f t).

Not recommended if you don’t like too sweet of a frosting—in any which case, look ahead to the True Buttercreams.

Russian Buttercream is a step up from American, but still rather simple: it’s butter, salt, confectioners sugar, vanilla extract, and (ready?) condensed milk. It’s also referred to as Condensed Milk Buttercream for this reason. Very sweet and vanilla-y, and kind of looks like whipped cream.

Highly recommended for piping and frosting all your cakes and cupcakes.

it’s a lot silkier and more airy than American buttercream as the condensed milk and vanilla help dissolve more of the sugar.

However, because it contains condensed milk, it doesn’t last as long as the American so… eat up.

Ermine Buttercream is another slightly more complicated frosting, but still pretty easy. Also known as milk frosting, flour frosting, flour buttercream, and $300 frosting, it’s made by gently heating milk and flour just to cook the latter, and then added into your butter and sugar.

What you get is something that is somewhat of an acquired taste because it’s not as sweet as you would expect, but it lives up to its name, it’s like velvet.

speaking of velvet, it was actually traditionally used on red velvet cake until one day, someone decided that cream cheese frosting was better and more sympathetic I could not be.

because of the incorporated flour, it’s very stable when used in piping.

It’s a little antiquated, like you’ll see it used in cake recipes from the 50s, 60s, and 70s (and the nickname “$300 frosting” should tip you off a bit), but it’d be something worth bragging about if you’re a millennial like me, like “hey, i made this cake with ermine frosting!” and expect everyone over the age of 46 in the room to look at you à la the shocked pikachu 😂

French Buttercream. Oh, boy. Here’s where it starts getting a little more sophisticated. French buttercream is made by heating a sugar syrup (sugar dissolved in water) until it reaches “soft ball stage” (which is confectioner speak for 235-240° on your candy thermometer) and then you whip it into beaten egg yolks and soft butter. The result is something that literally shines and is very rich, even pillowy.

It’s definitely a “gateway” thing, like if you can make French buttercream, you’re on your way to having it made.

I’ve only tried it once in my life and it is so marshmallow-y and soft.

it is very rich, though, like you only need a little bit of it or you will feel sick to your stomach 😂

because it’s so soft, it’s not recommended for piping details or anything like that.

you also want to be careful making it as you’re using egg yolks but the hot sugar syrup will help cook them.

Swiss Meringue Buttercream is somewhat of a goal of mine given the complexity and it’s also a frosting the pros use. First, you make the Swiss meringue which—if you remember my mnemonic device for meringues—is made by whipping egg whites and granulated sugar over a bain-marie until fluffy. You then whip your butter, vanilla extract, and confectioners sugar together, then switch off the mixer, and gently fold in the meringue.

It is heavenly. It is exactly what I imagine the Swiss Alps to be like after a snowfall.

there’s a strange elegance to it, like if you make your cake and frost it with Swiss meringue buttercream, expect everyone to either take you way more seriously or downright envy you.

it’s the easier of the meringue-based buttercreams.

it’s also very versatile in terms of flavor (for this reason, I call it the Alex Skolnick of the buttercreams): bakers put things like chocolate, fruits, and cinnamon in it all the time—I once saw matcha-flavored Swiss meringue buttercream.

it is however, one of those things that seems easy but it’s easy to mess up (like the sugar won’t dissolve all the way or you can accidentally cook the egg whites). You have to focus and even then you’ll probably have to do it a couple of times to get the hang of it.

German buttercream is also known as custard buttercream given it’s made with pastry cream (i’m thinking in the next week or so, I’ll make a post on the million different types of creams because I admittedly still can’t tell them apart). What you do is whisk together milk, cream, and egg yolks until they’re thoroughly combined.

In a saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch and salt. While still whisking, drizzle cream mixture into sugar mixture until thoroughly combined and no lumps.

Gently cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and resembles to pudding. Remove from heat and pour through a fine-mesh strainer into a heatproof bowl. Whisk in butter, 1 Tablespoon at a time (usually about 3-4 tablespoons or roughly half a stick), and then stir in vanilla extract. Let it cool off in the fridge so it can set, and then you simultaneously take it plus the butter for the actual buttercream out to reach room temperature.

and then you take your softened butter and whip it in the mixer so it’s nice and fluffy, and you carefully add in the pastry cream.

gosh, that’s a mouthful 😅

it’s like everything you wish American buttercream is because it pipes on beautifully, like it’s the kind used for intricate swirls and decorations on those “showstopper” cakes and what’re known as “lambeth” cakes (those really boldly colored cakes you might have seen on Instagram or in the baking tags on here, they’re like four feet high and bright pinks and greens and orange and blues). It’s not nearly as sweet, either!

as you can see, though, it’s quite complicated and requires a lot of butter, too. It’s definitely not for the faint of heart.

Italian meringue buttercream is the one. This is the one. If you can master Italian meringue buttercream, you are not one to be trifled with.

Again referring back to my mnemonic device for remembering the different meringues: you make the sugar syrup with water and sugar in water until it reaches softball stage. Meanwhile, off to the side, you start whipping your egg whites and cream of tartar (which helps the egg whites maintain their stiff glossy shape). When the syrup is ready, you keep the mixer down low and very carefully pour it in. Once that’s in, you add your vanilla extract then you gradually add your butter. Oh, my god, do you add butter (Martha Stewart’s recipe calls for a whopping four sticks/an entire box).

This is the cream of the crop. I usually see it on wedding cakes and I also see it on baking shows sometimes… and it’s more of a double edged sword than Swiss meringue buttercream.

I mean, christ almighty, the amount that can go wrong here—for example, bakers make a point to tell you that the butter should be room temperature or soft but not melted (it can make the frosting oily or greasy). Because you’re handling 235° sugar syrup, you can also get burned—happens to confectioners, chocolatiers, and bakers get burned all the time. And Italian meringue buttercream is tricky and as daunting as it is because the timing involved is absolutely everything. In other words, when they do it right, it’s stunning and is guaranteed to win. But when it misses, it REALLY misses.

by the way—this is seriously a miracle of science and nature—each one of these can be made vegan. You use aquafaba (the water found in cans of chickpeas) in lieu of egg whites, coconut oil in lieu of butter, soy or oat milk in lieu of regular milk when making pastry cream, and apparently ground flaxseeds in some water is a good substitute for egg yolks.

Truffles's "Fat" Problem

1 -It was a lovely day in Marzipan… Son(What If I Stayed & OVA Shapeshift)is skateboarding down the sidewalk, doing kick flips as he has a bag of groceries but he really doesn't do things for Mung Daal, the GOD AWFUL chief of all time… As he is skateboarding, he sees two familiar characters… Truffles & Kanna the Shiny Pikachu. They have new clothes as well as Son is happy to see them. He would talk to them but… Truffles and Kanna started to sing together. “🎵We got a little junk-junk in the trunk-trunk! A little booty-booty, so fresh and juicy, mmm!~ We shake our rump-rump, and we'll do a little BUMP-BUMP!🎵” As they bumped their rumps extremely hard, they did a powerful shockwave and made the town shake but… The buildings collapsed and got destroyed! Son is already but a little shocked about their power that Truffles and Kanna had. “Oops…” Truffles said as Kanna started to whistle quietly but the two females bolted out of there but Son followed them.

2 - In the kitchen, Mung Daal is chopping up the cucumbers but Chowder was about to eat one but Mung slapped his hand. “No! Bad kitty!” Mung said to Chowder but he crossed his arms and got grumpy at Mung but Truffles and Kanna finally arrived back without any groceries? That's strange… “Oh hi, Truffles! How was the trip to the store?” Mung asked his wife from his normal attitude but he didn't know that Kanna was there next to her “Oh it was fine, yep yup yeah, it was fine.” Truffles acted but… “Except for the part where we used our giant tush and smashed the CITY!!!” Truffles yelled out in panic and Kanna panicked with her. “You did what and who now?” Mung was so dumbfounded and Chowder was super lost of what she said, Son came in the kitchen just in time as Truffles and Kanna looked at him. “Son! My sweet little friend! Be honest and tell me the truth… Have me and Kanna have a little… LARGE in the Barge?!” Truffles and Kanna showed and pointed their rumps that quickly but… Mung put his hand on Chowder's head. “Chowder, take over…”

3 - He lowered Chowder all the way down because he doesn't want to hear this. “Uhh… No?” Mung said in confusion but scared to fully answer but Truffles flew up to her husband. “Is that a question?” Truffles said as she is worried about that statement but for Mung… “N-N-No..” Mung said in fear. “So we've put on weight.” Truffles said to Mung answered quickly too. “I didn't say that.” Mung said. “We need to go on a diet?” Truffles said that quickly but Mung answered quickly as well. “I didn't say that” Mung said the same thing but Truffles needed to know… “Come on! Out with it!!” Truffles burst out and grabbed her husband's face. “Are we… Fffffffat?” Truffles said slowly if it's true or not. “Fat? Nah. Son and I don't think you and your friend are fat, Truffles.” Chowder's words made the two feel better and Son totally agreed with them as he gave a thumbs up for both of them. “But Mung thinks you're fat!” He said and got bonked.

4 - Truffles and Kanna was….PISSED as they cracked their knuckles and started to walk up to Mung… "Ohhhh HONEY!!!!" Truffles yelled in rage and grabbed her husband's throat and her steam came out of her ears and Kanna's face is super pissed and her red dots on her cheeks started to spark. "You know, Mung… You should never tell women fat… But now… YOU will face the wrath of getting hurt feels like…" Kanna's voice is so cold and dark…scarry… "Chowder…Take your friend upstairs and stay there… My female friend and I is going teach Mung a LESSON!!!!" Truffles and Kanna started to beat up Mung as Chowder took Son upstars to his room and stays there until that problem is over…

eMareep Special TCG Collection - Kanto dex collection

Page 3 - #019 - 027

Weee-owww, these pictures did not look so crooked when I was taking them. Hopefully I'll get better at that, or can just get a scanner or something. I was about to say something very similar to the last page, about how it's full of my favorites. But it's the OG squad, so of course it is.

I could not resist classic chunky pikachu. Luckily, base set common cards are not actually that expensive. If you're fine having one in the condition you might have had it in as a kid, a lightly or moderately played one will cost around a $1-2. A small price to pay for fat pikachu. That said, that chonkly boy is not who I'm here to talk about today.

#1 Card of the Page

Raichu ~ Generations: Radiant Collection ~ Aya Kusube

The radiant collection has some of the best cards, in terms of pure cuteness. I mean, look at this guy. How is this whole post not just me going: "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH". I love him.

Aya Kusube did an excellent job here. She's one of those artists you learn to recognize quickly when getting into the TCG. Her work reminds me of illustrations that would appear in old children's books. It's colorful, but soft and dreamy; even the typically bright yellow tail of raichu fits right in with this scene. I wish I could be in this field of flowers right now.

According to internet, she primarily uses Charcoal with a simple palette of colors. The variance of detail Kusube shows in this illustration, despite the limitations, shows off her talent well. This raichu is an absolutely perfect creature, and just the cutest lil guy.

5/5 bags of pokemon.

Bonus Detail: "gosh aren't I just a cute little guy, just hanging out here in this meadow. How I love to frolic. Wouldn't you love to join me? I definitely will not kill you with electricity powers." - This Raichu, probably.

Ancient Space Racists, History, and Other Initial Considerations

I am waiting for my big fat phonology handbook to ship in the mail. Until it gets here, let’s talk about Mando’a and some of the Canon Headaches that come along with it.

The biggest, baddest and (in my opinion) most interesting Canon Headache is that, as I mentioned in my introductory post, Mando’a is supposed to be an auxlang or auxiliary language. Why is this Canon Headache Number One?

Because auxlangs don’t work outside of societies of hobbyist nerds dedicated to learning and speaking them. They’ve never been widely adopted and naturalized, much less by an entire culture. There are probably a number of reasons for this, but a big one is that a technocratic fantasy that underpins the creation of many auxlangs is essentially that languages are complex because human beings are inefficient. This is just not fucking true. Languages are complex because human beings use language in breathtakingly complex ways. When real redundancy or irregularity occurs in a language, speakers tend to abandon that feature of the language over time, except in cases like Old Irish, where irregularity was artificially frozen in writing as a mark of class prestige. You can try to invent a language that does all of the things that natural languages do as “elegantly”, “regularly” or “simply” as possible, but you do tend to run into the problem of making normative judgments about what is elegant, regular or simple, probably from the unconscious perspective of your own native language use.

But we’re playing pretend, here, so let’s imagine that a society did come up with an auxlang and successfully implement it--or claim to have done so, anyways. They would almost certainly have to enforce this new language with violence. It would be a pretty fashy and authoritarian society. People will fight hard to speak their mother tongues, probably especially whatever highly collectivist society are the forerunners of Mandalorians. 

Well...it doesn’t not sound like Mandalore, so far.

Anyways, the official pretext for Mando’a (that it can be picked up easily by any convert to the Creed) is also outright nonsense. It presumes a humanoid facial structure, for one thing. What about Tuskens? What about any alien with keratinous beaks or mandibles, for whom all of those B and P sounds are going to be a serious hassle, if not damn near insurmountable? Then again, I’ve never seen in-canon representations of Mandalorians who aren’t humanoids. Maybe this is another political innovation of the ruling class of let’s say ~6000 BBY Mandalore. You say that the unifying feature of your society is religion and not race, and according to the letter of the law, that’s true. You say that your religion is enshrined in the Creed, which you’ve happened to rewrite in your newly-purified language. It’s very difficult for non-humans to speak it. Oops! Guess only a very select few can be full participants in the Creed. [shocked pikachu face]

But how long can a truly authoritarian regime really last without pushback? A few hundred years? Mando’a has evolved in the intervening millennia. Speakers quickly identify in everyday life where “official” Mando’a falls short. In the waning hours of old Mandalore, rebels, subversives and forward-thinkers adopt the “underground” borrowings from the linguistic ancestors of Aurebesh and Huttese as a political statement. By the time the reform government's new dynasty is well-established, there has been a massively popular and successful campaign to introduce a supplemental sign language to standard Mando’a, borrowed heavily from the Tuskens. Although Mandalorian society is still overwhelmingly humanoid, sign support is still considered an integral portion of Classical Mando’a--especially because, for a blip in Mando’a’s history, sign language enabled you to communicate in ways that the regime-sanctioned auxlang didn’t allow: and to do it, moreover, without being picked up by radio surveillance.

Maybe a cult like Din’s is trying to “restore” Classical Mando’a and looks favorably on avoiding “outside influences” to the language--especially now that the reality of its oppressive history has been blurred by romanticization and nostalgia for a past that never really existed--but it’s a lost cause, in the same way that trying to speak Old English in the 21st century to do 21st century things would be a lost cause. Mando’a as it is spoken in Din’s lifetime has evolved into a natural language with very little resemblance to Classical Mando’a. Most Mandalorians only use Classical Mando’a on ceremonial occasions of great significance. *cough* Like taking their wedding vows, for instance.

Stay tuned for the rudimentary stages of language building as we puzzle over a far less interesting canon headache: Goddamn Motherfucking Fantasy Language Apostrophes.

Made for Team Rocket - Notes from the Author

Hello! It's me again!

My "Hello, Gorgeous" notes got some traction, so I decided to upload the "Made for Team Rocket" notes. These notes I use to propel the story and keep track.

We'll try to keep the list small and I may update more!

Amarillo "Yellow" : the protagonist and central main character.

- She is around seven years old.

- Yellow has long blonde hair that she puts up in a ponytail. When she was a feral child, she never washed her hair out so stones and sticks would be stuck in it.

- Yellow has no concept of the modern world. Things like alarm clocks, computers, automated voices, and cameras baffle her. While her stay at Rocket made her more accustomed, she still does not understand many things.

- She also does not know modern slang or lingo. Even some words escape her.

- Yellow is naturally curious, which often replaces her fear in situations. So she asks many questions, much to the chagrin of many people.

- Yellow is naturally rebellious as she never had a real "parental" authority figure. Mother Forest allowed her to roam and be free for the most part. So rules seem silly to her.

- Due to her living in the forest, Yellow was quite emaciated and thin by medical standards. She weighed less than a toddler and her bones were apparent. Her eyes appeared larger because of no fat in her face, making her appear "fairy-like" or "unnatural".

- There were legends about her from passing travelers, claiming they saw a "fairy" child or a "forest spirit". Due to her appearance, the rumors were fueled more and more.

- Yellow has the strongest Pokemon connection out of Giovanni and Lancelot. She can understand any Pokemon thought and has potential to outpace Giovanni.

- Yellow has the weakest Pokemon stats raise, followed by Lancelot and Giovanni.

- Yellow has the lowest command of Pokemon (level 45). Lancelot and Giovanni have higher commands.

- Yellow has the average healing power. Giovanni has the highest power (he's older) and Lancelot has the lowest. However, she is expected to outpace Giovanni.

- Yellow's "gifted" powers that are not given to Giovanni/Lancelot are full restore healing, foresight/future sight, and the ability to heal humans. (this may be added for more later).

- Yellow's favorite food are apples.

- Yellow's favorite friend at Team Rocket is Lancelot followed by Petrel.

- Yellow does not know who her parents are. Mother Forest has masqueraded as her mother since she was a baby.

- Yellow and Mother Forest are very close.

- Yellow's favorite Pokemon is Pikachu.

- She has a flaw of impatience as well as being unruly, flying into rages when she feels trapped. This is exacerbated when the "forest powers" consume her and controls her.

- Yellow does not read or write at her level.

Lancelot: secondary protagonist

- He is nine years old, about to turn ten.

- He was brought to Team Rocket as a baby, exactly six hours after he was born. He has never left this place and has never seen the outside world.

- He is the only forest child who has never heard Mother Forest's voice.

- Lancelot is very tall for his age. His eyes are gold and his hair is pinkish-red.

- Lancelot's hair gives Archer a headache. Archer cuts his hair and forces it to be "straight" because the hair is naturally spiky. Archer also has to cut it more frequently because it grows so fast.

- Lancelot has no idea of modern music. He is only allowed to listen to classical. He has never seen television, played video games, or read graphic novels. He has never even read a fictional novel.

- Lancelot is generally curious, but reserves it for finding information. He knows more information than most of Team Rocket.

- Lancelot has a special task by Archer where he reads Pokemon minds to determine if the trainer is a double agent or truly wanting to join. He earns the moniker "Ratcatcher".

- Lancelot was told that his mother died and he was rescued. Archer refuses to elaborate further.

- Lancelot has the weakest healing rate of the three (Giovanni and Yellow).

- Lancelot has average stat raise (Giovanni is ahead of him).

- Lancelot has the weakest Pokemon connection. However, this is due to psychological influence by Archer so it inhibits him.

- Lancelot has average command of Pokemon (up to level 60). However, it might be because he's commanding the wrong type of Pokemon.

- Lancelot's special powers that are not shared are total command and mastery of dragons/dragon-like Pokemon, inducing rage in all Pokemon, manipulation of dreams, and "warrior" spirit that creates bravery in all Pokemon regardless of circumstance. (might change later).

- Lancelot's favorite food is red meat, but he says it's fish so people don't get weirded out by him.

- Lancelot's favorite person in Team Rocket is Lixue and has a crush on her.

- Lancelot, much to his distaste, considers Yellow his only friend and he considers Petrel his favorite Executive.

- Lancelot does not believe in Mother Forest.

- Lancelot's flaw is that he is reckless and headstrong, something that Archer considers "disobedience". He also flies into violent rages when the "forest power" consumes him where he could level rooms.

- Lancelot's reading and writing is considered a high school level, but whether or not he simply regurgitates it or understands it is Archer's issue with it.

[ayoalex]

No one asked but head canon that I have for some of the characters that shouldn't be a thing and I hope it never becomes canon.

Ruby:

- She's just a lamp at this point, it's good for practice tho

- Absolutely tried to adopted a Beowolf at one point in V4/V5 until Qrow made her stop.

- She can cook... Kinda she just know the basics. The only thing she knows to bake is cookies, like that's it.

- She listen to rock but her favorite band is One Direction.

- She may have cut herself way to many times while cleaning or maintaining Crescent Rose, she's still sad she didn't even got a cool scar put of it because of her aura.

- She once tried to cut her own hair in V4 and then gave up and just decided to wait till some actual decent hairdresser could do it for her.

- She doesn't know how to pronounce correctly some stuffs so she just call them "thingy"

- Tried to dyed her hair all red like Gerard Way... Yang didn't let her touch any hair products for 5y.

Weiss:

- Doesn't know how to drive a bicycle and at this point of her life she's just afraid of asking.

- "I don't cook, I don't clean"

- Later Yang taught her how to clean, so at least the dorm isn't as much of a disaster.
