alabaster can hide food with his magic and carry it around in his cards. it's way better than any fridge, because food is always hot and fresh like it was just cooked. he always has some on him so he doesn't have to worry about getting starved, like he how did before he joined TA.

will was sick and malnourished when he got kicked out of CHB. he was the only medic with good enough training and who could heal at camp since manhattan happened, so he was always overworking himself. his younger siblings weren't great at healing and apollo wasn't responding to them, so he was the only healer that about twenty kids a day would visit. chiron wasn't always here to help either.

so when al found will he was more than happy to share his food. after traveling and staying together at keeseville for months will recovered back to perfect health and was happier than ever, not having to use his powers every minute a day to save another kid who got their head open falling off the lava wall.

bonus: will knows how to cook thanks to lee (who grew up looking after his little cousins and his sick grandma), so alabaster saves up fresh fruit, vegetables and sometimes meat so will can get something ready for them. it's like a coping mechanism to him, something to get his hands busy with when he gets that itch, when his hands get a little too hot.

(al tried to help him cook, but he almost burnt down the kitchen while kneading the dough. even claymore was disappointed.)

look! i colored the sketch! this looks absolutely amazing, also my phone when i saved it to photos apparently thinks it’s a person? like it went: “Name this person, who is this?” and i told it: “dude that’s a drawing i colored.” and now i’m even more proud of it.

so for people who don’t know, this is a drawing of Soldier, one of Marcy’s personalities. basically she gets captured by the toads and becomes a soldier for them, and that mentality sticks with her. (in the Shuffle AU that Dark_Sans on AO3 has, titled: Blue heart, green mind, pink blood. i think.)

btw it took me less than an hour and a half to color this, though the sketch took longer.

there’s mud on her boots! because she’s in a swamp! also i just took the sketch, made it so most everything other than the lines were somewhat transparent, and then colored underneath. doing that makes it so the sketch is still a big part of the drawing, because normally i take the sketch and trace it digitally. i’ve found recently that this method makes drawings i like a bit better.

”What are you giving me?” he asks. His mouth is dry, and he can still taste copper. “It’s glucose,” she replies. “Your blood sugar is low.” His vision flickers, and he blinks. He knows something… something about glucose and cold. —~—~— … But did you know”—she leaned forward and tapped him on the back of the hand—“there is a type of frog in the Artic Tundra that freezes solid in winter and then thaws out in the spring and goes on living?” He put both hands flat on the table and gave an exaggerated performance of astonishment. “No kidding.” “No kidding!” She slapped her palms against the table to mirror his, then laughed. “I know you’re mocking me, but I don’t care. It’s fascinating. They raise their glucose levels enough to keep their cells from breaking down and to replace the water in their bodies.” Just finished rereading The Winter Soldier: Cold Front (for only the second time) BUT I just realized the connection between the glucose and the cyrofreeze. I don’t know if that’s what the author intended for that little detail to be but I thought that was pretty awesome. I didn’t actually notice it until near the end of the book where V (Vronsky/The Winter Soldier) is getting a glucose drip and he starts telling the nurse about that fun fact about the frogs…. Literally broke my heart. He and Gimlet truly deserved better.

i think, at the end of the day, you have to respect the work you are adapting. a writer doesn't have to be a fan of the source material, or strictly follow the primary story, but you have to understand what made it good, what made it appealing, and what it meant to say.

i would say netflix's dungeon meshi rigorously follows the original manga, often panel for panel, to great effect. it's an excellent adaptation that understands the themes and character of the work. it celebrates it for what it is. conversely, i'd argue that amc's interview with the vampire is spectacular precisely because of the way it breaks from canon. it actively 'yes, and's the book, imo, thoughtfully exploring the themes on its own terms. changes are not inherently bad, nor is a perfect replica inherently good.

you can like a work, and not understand it. you can understand it and not be a fan. but if you can't respect it, you should just be writing original work.
