I’ve been a fan of Project Sekai for about 6 months and just recently watched Jujutsu Kaisen so you can imagine how your AU has taken over my brain. I want to hear as many ideas as you have of it, even if it’s an unorganized word vomit post. :)

Ho-Ho-Hooooo!

This might gonna be my longest post yet, since I have A LOT ideas with this AU! >:Dc

(More under the cut~)

PJSK+JJK AU IDEAS

Okay! To not make this too long (hehe it will be super long tho kek), I’ll just talk about some of the jjk characters past and some small neat facts within this AU instead! The characters Arc stuff that I have planned can be for a later post (if asked ;3c)~

Let’s start with our favorite pink-haired cinnamon roll… Yuuji!!!! >w<

Yuuji Itadori

DOB: 3/20 School: Kamiyama High School

Height: 173 cm School Year: Class 1-C

Hobbies: Karaoke, Watching TV, and Impersonations

Specialty: Cooking (and any Physical Sports/Actives but he doesn’t care too much about that)

Fav Food: Rice bowl with food on top and noodles

Least Fav Food: None

Dislikes: Science and Math subjects (the numbers be sort get mixed up in his head, relatable ngl lol)

As ya can see in this post I did a while back, that Yuuji lived a mostly normal life with his grandfather, Wasuke, at Sendai City. He never really knew much about his parents, he only have some small memories of his father before he one day left for some unknown reason.

Shortly after Wasuke passed away, Yuuji was suddenly contacted by a group of people he has never met before. The group of people told him that they all are his half-brothers due to all of them sharing the same parent. The Oldest, Choso, has been trying to contact and unite all of his half siblings and offer Yuuji to come live with them in Tokyo.

Yuuji, with the last wish from his grandfather of avoided dying alone, decided to move to Tokyo and try to connect with all of his half siblings.

While he attends to Kamiyama, he shortly became friends with Akito Shinonome after they bonded over their struggles with science and math class. Yuuji also quickly became friends with Nobara Kuguisaki when she transferred to the school.

Saori was a young teenager that moved into Nobara’s hometown for a while and befriended Nobara. However, Saori moved back to Tokyo due to the village discrimination towards her and her family, which deeply saddened Nobara and deepened her hatred for her village even more.

When Nobara’s mother moved to Tokyo due to her job, Nobara quickly moved in with her to escape her village life and in hopes to see Saori again.

Nobara became friends with Yuuji and Akito once she transferred into Kamiyama, she pretends that she doesn’t care for them but deep down she very much do and appreciate their friendship.

One day, around the age of 7, one of his music had gone viral and Rising Pop-Star Gojo Satoru saw it and decided to contact Megumi. Once Gojo saw Megumi and Tsumiki’s living condition, he offered to financially support them in condition that Megumi compose the music for his songs.

Megumi agreed and since then Megumi composed for Gojo and his fame reached Worldwide due to his music. However the constant stress of making viral songs and unresolved emotions of his abandonment caused Megumi to be constantly be depressed and moody. The build up reach it peak in his last year of Junior High where he snap at Tsumiki one day, creating a sibling argument that cause Tsumiki to leave the house for the day. However the next day, Tsumiki nearly died and was put into a coma after a car accidentally hits her as she was walking across the streets.

This trauma caused immense guilt within Megumi, and caused him to focus even more on his music in order to continue financially support his sister medical care.

Megumi mostly keeps to himself during school, rarely interacting with others and always has his headphones on during breaks. He is however within a music video club he started so he can mostly work on his music after school since he feels uncomfortable working at home after the incident.

Junpei Yoshino

DOB: 8/13 School: Kamiyama High School

Height: 165 cm School Year: Class 2-A

Hobbies: Watching Horror Movies and Recording them in VHS

Speciality: Knows a lot about Marine life, specifically Jellyfish

Fav Food: Crab omelet on rice

Least Fav Food: Herring Roe

Dislikes: Bullies and Musicals

Junpei lives with his mother, Nagi Yoshino, after both of his parents filed a divorce. However this happened when he was really young, so he has no recollection of his father, only hearing that he was a terrible person.

Growing up, Junpei was outcasted for being a child of a single mother and was considered weird for his interests in horror and the supernatural. However, his mother reassured him that he’s not weird for his interest and she even apologized to him for being a single mother. Junpei tears up and told her it’s not her fault, in which Nagi just smiles gently and says that he’s such a good son.

During his first year in High School, he was getting bullied by some of his classmates. One day, the bullies were about to take things too far, until Rui Kamishiro stopped them and scared them off by spouting out possible inventions he can test on the bullies.

Junpei saw Rui again in the rooftop when he was skipping class, and so they just both hangout in the rooftop as Junpei listen to Rui ramble about possible theatrical shows and musicals. Junpei not really talking much, but Rui didn’t mind for he understood.

In the middle of the year, Junpei’s mother passed out one day due to stress and was sent to the hospital. The next day, bullies took his favorite books and ripped it up. When he went to the rooftop after school, Rui was about to show Junpei the new outfit that his friend Mizuki made for him, until Rui noticed Junpei’s upset face and asked what’s wrong.

In which Junpei snapped and yells at Rui and complains how he always talk his “dumb” musical and “weird” gadgets, and accuses Rui for always talking about himself and knows nothing about him. And in a fit of his rage, he took Rui’s costume and start ripping it up as he yells at Rui to leave him alone.

Junpei quickly realized his mistake, but before he could say anything Rui just told him to leave in a cold voice.

His mother recovered and was able to return home safety (she even officially quit drinking and smoking so something like that won’t happen again), but Junpei still skipped school due yo the bullies but also due to the guilt of what he did towards Rui.

They then moved to Kamiyama due to his mother getting a better job there, and Nagi encouraged Junpei to attend to Kamiyama High School ensuring things will be better for him now.

Junpei became friends with Tsukasa after seeing his passion for shows reminds him of Rui (not realizing he also goes to the same school too kek~), and became friends with Yuuji one day when he saw Yuuji watching the same niche horror movie he was in the movie theaters.

Maki Zenin

DOB: 1/20 School: None/Drop Out

Height: 170 cm School Year: N/A

Hobbies: Working out

Speciality: Fast Reaction Time, making her really good at reaction-based video games

Fav Food: Fast Food/Junk Food

Least Fav Food: High Class Food Dishes

Dislikes: Her Family and Codependent People

Maki live within a finically privileged family with her younger twin sister, Mai, however the Zenin family itself is incredibly toxic and emotionally abusive with the occasional physical abuse (mostly from the father with the mother being a passive complicit). The family has high expectations from both Maki and Mai and often pin the twins against each other. The father especially ridiculed Maki for not being as academically gifted compared to Mai, and constantly tells Maki she’s lazy and not studying enough for school (she actually having good grades despite Maki struggling with dyslexia and dysgraphia, but it’s never enough for the Zenin Family).

One day, near the end of Maki’s last year within Junior High, Maki finally had enough and ran away from home without telling anyone.

Maki has been living on her own working full-time in order to finically support herself on her own. Due to this, she hasn’t contact with her sister, one of the only family members she actually love.

At first she was homeless for the first few months, due to having no where to go, it wasn’t until Maki one day rest near Vivid Street, that An meet her and offer a hand.

Maki initially was very wary about the Shiraishi’s warmth and kindness but eventually accepted it and became a regular at the WEEKEND GARAGE, who occasionally helps out with the cooking when she can.

She is currently living within Vivid Street with Kinji Hakari and Kirara Hoshi as roommates.

She works as a security guard (she has a fake ID with the help of Kirara because otherwise she would be too young to work as one), and she occasionally have shifts to guard backstages for idol shows, that’s how she met Shizuku during her time with Cheerful*Days.

Maki appreciate Shizuku’s genuine kindness and her dedication to always work so hard during dance/singing practice.

As a resident of Vivid Street for a good while, Maki became friends with Kasumi Miwa, who works there as a part-time barista/waitress, and Toge, who’s also a resident of Vivid Street for a couple years.

Maki also developed a sisterly bond with An and views Ken and Yuka as a sort of parent figure as well. Which ease Maki’s pain of not really having a supportive and loving family growing up (with the expectation being from Mai).

—————————————————————————

Mai Zenin

DOB: 1/20 School: Miyamasuzaka School

Height: 170 cm School Year: Class 2-A

Hobbies: Reacting scenes from her favorite rom-coms movies

Fav Food: Fast Food/Junk Food

Least Fav Food: High Class Food Dishes

Dislikes: Her Family and Independent People

Just like Maki, Mai lives with her toxic and emotionally abusive family.

When Maki ran away from home without even telling her, it hurts her deeply and causes her to be resentful.

Mai’s friends with Momo Nishiyama due knowing each other since childhood thus knowing deeply about Mai’s terrible family environment.

Mai hates Shizuku Hinomori due to her seemingly having a good life compared to her and internally craving for a caring older sister again, but rather than being vulnerable she would rather speak negatively about Shizuku behind her back.

Mai decided to try a pull a prank and put Shizuku’s name in an idol application contest to try and humiliate her. However, she didn’t expect Shizuku to actually win and later be the center of the popular idol group Cheerful*Days. This cause Mai to hate her even more due to jealousy, thus her snapping at Shizuku harshly and broke off her “friendship” with her.

One day, Mai overheard from Shizuku that Maki is living in Vivid Street. So a Sunday, Mai went over to finally see Maki after almost a year of hearing nothing from her.

However, when Mai does finally see Maki from a distance, Mai also saw how much Maki seems happy with everyone around her. And how much Maki seems to have a good and close sibling like bond with An.

In which, Mai thought she’s been replaced essentially and that Maki no longer wants her own twin sister in her life. This a deeply hurt and frustrated Mai turned around and leave.

The next day, Mai witnessed how loving and caring Shizuku is towards Shiho, and it sparked another wave of jealousy. For it’s a mix of Mai thinking Shizuku’s life has been so easy and of Mai craving for that older sister affection again.

Thus Mai lashes out by starting to spread false harmful rumors on how Shizuku gave the managers “special treatment” in order to become an idol throughout the school.

—————————————————————————

Anddddd that’s all for now! ^w^/

Of course I have way Way WAYYYYYYY more ideas and thoughts about this AU! So if ya guys are ever curious, just shoot me an ask!

And if I’m not constantly mentally exhausted, I might draw something for this AU too! :Dc

Edit: Kasumi, Nanako, and Mimiko are no longer gonna be in the Miya school lol

Edit 2: Slight change to Maki’s and Mai’s backstory a bit

Hello and Good day~

Yesterday was a busy day! As I cant grow/process everything we eat (yet! Someday maybe the majority, but until then I'm good with growing as much as possible.) it was grocery shop day. Then Did meal prep for the week, I usually do a short bit of meal prep on grocery day but I tried to be a bit better with it this week to try and save time so I can get some pattern work and sewing done later. :)

The start of the meal prep, veggie portion. I like to wash my produce with water and baking soda. (I save the rinse water for the flower patch) ratio for me is a half sink of water, 2 tablespoons of baking soda. Mix to dissolve.

Pictured~

shredded cabbage, carrots (shredded, noodle sliced, coined), mushrooms (sliced and cubed), diced tomatoes, bell peppers (diced. Julienned, coined and a few snacks), jalapeno (coined and diced), onion (diced and frozen), honeydew, potato salad

Salsa (tomato, onion, pepper, jalapeno), dumpling mix (ground pork, minced cabbage, minced carrot, onion, ginger seasonings), bag of veggie soup start.

Fermented fridge pickles (pickle solution, cucumber, onion, jalapeno, pickle seasoning)

Start of apple cider vinegar. I'm going to try and make it again for personal use.

~~~~~~

Super small garden goodies~

Our first radishes of the season!

Plus this lovely web I spotted this morning

As well as an update on the sweet potato flowers

The blooms don't last long, ive noticed most fall off the next day.

I did a little online sleuthing and like regular potatoes, sweet potatoes can make seeds (though vines are the best way to propagate them) It's advised that the seeds might not really produce anything decent but I admit I'm curious more to see how it grows now and goes through seed development. If they produce seed I'll save them for a future grow experiment and experience.

I'll likely be pinching the flowers off from the other vines so they continue producing vines and greens. I've liked having a form of fresh greens available for soups, stirfrys and omlettes.

That's it for now, I'm off to do some critter care~

[ID: A bowl with short-grained rice to the left and a curry to the right; a spoonful of pickled ginger tops the rice. End ID]

カレーライス / Kare raisu (Japanese "curry rice" with carrot and potato)

Kare raisu is a classic example of 洋食 (yoshoku)—Western-style food adapted to a Japanese palette. It first became popular among the Japanese navy, having been inspired by the diet of the British navy in the late Meiji period—the British themselves had appropriated and adapted dishes which they termed “curries” during their imperial rule of India.

The base of kare raisu's flavor profile is カレー粉 (kare ko, curry powder), which is used to spice the roux that thickens the curry. Since they were first manufactured and sold in the 1950s, premade curry roux cubes have been popular among home cooks as a quick way to season this dish. This recipe begins by making enough roux for the dish, for those without Japanese curry roux cubes at home.

Kare raisu is often made with chicken or pork belly, but meat is sometimes omitted. This recipe calls for sườn non chay, but if you don’t want to use a meat replacement, just increase the amount of carrot and potato!

Recipe under the cut.

Patreon | Tip jar

This recipe calls for you to make a roux as its base, as this is the most widely-used technique for this dish. A similar effect could be achieved by adding Japanese curry powder in after the onions are browned and proceeding with the dish from there, adding butter or margarine along with the water, and thickening the curry with some flour after the vegetables are tender, if desired.

Ingredients:

For the chicken:

1 package (100g) sườn non chay, or 350g other vegetarian meat substitute

(If using sườn non chay) several cups vegetarian ‘chicken’ or ‘beef’ stock from concentrate, vegetable stock, or water

1/4 tsp Japanese curry powder

A few cracks of black pepper

For the dish:

2 Yukon gold potatoes (400g), peeled

2-3 medium carrots (200g)

1 package (100g) suon non chay, or 350g other vegetarian chicken substitute

6 cups water, or enough to cover

2 tsp vegetarian ‘chicken’ or ‘beef’ stock concentrate (optional)

3 Tbsp neutral oil, to fry

2 large yellow onions, sliced

1/2 sweet apple, grated (optional)

3 Tbsp usata sosu (Japanese Worcestershire-style sauce)

1 Tbsp vegetarian oyster sauce (or substitute soy sauce)

1/4 cup coconut milk (optional)

4 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch chunk (10g) ginger, minced

Sườn non chay may be found in bags online or at your local Asian grocery–the bags will be labelled “sườn non chay” as well as “vegan meat slice,” “textured soy bean protein,” “vegetarian food,” or “vegan food.”

Apple is a fairly common but non-essential addition to this curry; it adds a subtle sweetness to the final dish without being immediately recognizable as apple. Other common additions which have the same effect are honey, jam, and mashed banana.

The Japanese Worcestershire sauce adds umami, salt, sweetness, and a hint of fruit: it may be replaced with equal parts soy sauce, ketchup, molasses, and date syrup or apple sauce.

The coconut milk adds savor and a creamy texture; the flavor of coconut is not detectable in the final dish. You could also use soy or oat milk for this purpose.

For the roux:

3 Tbsp Japanese curry powder

1/4 cup non-dairy margarine

6 Tbsp (45g) AP flour

Instructions:

For the roux:

1. Melt margarine in a small pot on medium, then reduce heat to medium-low. Add flour and toast for 15-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until flour is lightly golden brown.

2. Add curry powder and toast for 30 seconds, until fragrant. Remove from heat.

For the dish:

1. If using sườn non chay: In a stockpot, soak sườn non chay in enough stock to cover for about an hour, until rehydrated. I also added a few cracks of black pepper and about 1/4 tsp of Japanese curry powder to the stock.

Adding a small plate to keep the sườn non chay beneath the surface of the liquid can help them to soak faster.

2. Tear sườn non chay into thin strips and return to the pot. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has evaporated; set aside.

Soaking in broth or stock helps the flavor of the sườn non chay to be more concentrated. If you're short on time, just soak them in water until softened, squeeze the excess water out, tear them into strips, and set aside until ready to fry.

3. Prepare your vegetables. Peel potatoes and cut into wedges (if your potatoes are particularly large, halve them widthwise first). Peel the carrots and chop them with diagonal cuts, rotating the carrot about 1/4 turn between each cut (this style of cutting—rangiri—is commonly used when preparing cylindrical vegetables for simmering in stews, because it increases their surface area). Halve the onions through the root and then cut them into slices; mince the garlic and ginger.

Some cooks will cut the onions into wedges and fry them until translucent, while others cut them into thin slices and fry until they are deeply golden brown; I took the latter route to add savor to the final dish, but consult your own preferences (and time!).

4. Heat 3 Tbsp neutral oil in a large stockpot (the one you simmered the sườn non chay in, wiped clean, is fine). Fry sườn non chay until lightly browned and set aside. (If using a different meat replacement, follow the package directions for stovetop frying.)

5. In the same pot, fry onion on medium-low for 20-30 minutes until golden brown, agitating occasionally. Add ginger and about half the garlic and fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. I like to add about 1/4 of the roux at this point and fry until fragrant to increase the presence of the spice in the final dish, but this isn't common in Japanese preparations.

6. Add carrots and potato and allow to fry for about 2 minutes. Add apple and stir to combine.

7. Whisk water together with stock concentrate, Worcestershire sauce, and oyster sauce, and add to the pot. Return your meat replacement to the pot.

8. Simmer, covered, for about 15 minutes, until carrots and potatoes are fork-tender.

9. Dissolve the rest of the curry roux into the sauce and add the remainder of the garlic (this divided addition allows for a sharper garlic taste). Add coconut milk, if desired. Simmer, uncovered, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust sauces.

Serve warm with short-grained rice and fukujinzuke or rakkyozuke.

Buy Ginger Pickle Online in India | Spice Up Your Meals - Triswastik Foods

Ginger pickle can be a healthy addition to your diet when consumed in moderation. Ginger itself offers numerous health benefits, including its potential to aid digestion, reduce inflammation, and provide antioxidants. Pickling ginger can help preserve these qualities.

When you buy ginger pickle online in India or elsewhere, it's essential to consider a few factors:

Ingredients: Check the ingredients list for any additives or excessive use of salt or sugar. Opt for ginger pickle made with minimal processing and natural ingredients.

Portion Control: Like all condiments, ginger pickle should be consumed in moderation due to its salt content. Excessive salt intake can have adverse health effects.

Homemade vs. Store-Bought: Homemade ginger pickle with minimal processing is likely to retain more of ginger's natural health benefits compared to some store-bought varieties that may contain preservatives.

Spices and Herbs: Some ginger pickles incorporate beneficial spices and herbs that can enhance the overall health profile of the condiment.

Personal Health Considerations: If you have specific health concerns or dietary restrictions, consult with a healthcare professional before adding ginger pickle to your diet.

hi!!! i was wondering if you had any tips for going into a cal deficit for someone that really enjoys food for its flavor? do you have any flavorful low cal meals/snacks? this is my biggest struggle because all the enjoyable food i eat is very high in calories :/

Heey! I totally get your struggle lol. Here are some things you can do:

Have alternatives that are lower in calories

(kinda obvious and boring, I know, but let's start here)

Try switching to zero calorie drinks, light versions of sauces, 0% or low fat milk, yoghurts, sweeteners, eggs to egg whites (or mix both), fried food to baked food, fatty meat to lean meat etc. Whatever that's going to be similar but lower in calories.

Examples:

Craving a Big Mac? You can make a Big Mac salad. You know there's lettuce, onions and pickles in your regular Big Mac, so make it the base of your salad. Make a low calorie version of Big Mac sauce (like you can get light mayonnaise instead of regular one and mix it with a 0% fat yoghurt). There are some really good recipes online.

Craving fries? Have them baked instead of deep fried, so they are lower in calories, but still taste nice with some ketchup.

Search for low calorie recipes like soups and salads that include herbs, spices and flavourful food that is low in calories like mushrooms, onions, pickles, garlic, ginger, kimchi etc.

Mix your favourite food that is high in calories with food that is really low in calories

Examples:

Craving fried chicken? Have 2 wings instead of 5, with a salad on the side or just cut the meat and mix it with a salad. Have a bite of the thing you like, have some salad, repeat. It's still enjoyable and you end up being full.

Craving a strawberry shake? Get a small one (or share it with someone) and have water on the side. Drink some of your shake, drink some water, repeat. It's going to make you full and water seems to taste better after having a taste of sugar too lol

...or just drink as much water/tea as you can before having a meal

It's easier to enjoy a small portion of your favourite food when feeling full. Also try to chew it slowly so you can really focus on the taste.

Now, these might not be the best advices, but really helped me when desperate:

Just chew your food and spit it out. Might take some practice to resist the urge to swallow (lol I can't) but this actually saved my ass from binges many times when I felt this urgent need to stuff my face with food asap, yk.

Eat some salt/hot spices/hot sauce. This one helped me to resist cravings for salty/fried food. I'd even carry around a small bottle of hot sauce or this soup sachet from instant noodles when I was going out and had a hard time resisting cravings lol.

Anyway-

I hope it's going to get easier for you soon. Good luck!

Answering your in tag question last week: it is indeed hotter than ass out here. Any fun summer recipes? I’m discovering that my meager little cookbook really only has nice hearty recipes that while tasty make cooking even more of a chore than I find it to be when it’s so hot out here. Hope you’re at least staying cool! -SMA

Oh man I hope you’re staying cool, I recommend a great many ice creams above all. But secondary to that, I do have some food ideas that I’ve been making a lot of recently that I’ll stick below the read more here :-)

I love a big huge enormous salad in the summer (and all year round tbh) and I think the best salads are about 50/50 made up of base greens vs. fun stuff. My personal faves are to start with a romaine or romaine/iceberg base and then add:

italian seasoned chicken breast

cherry tomatoes

little mozzarella balls

cooked orzo

sun dried tomatoes

croutons or crispy onions (ideally both)

thinly sliced red onion

dressing (personal fav is a vinaigrette made of lemon juice, balsamic, olive oil, salt & pepper, oregano, and chili flakes)

soy sauce/ginger/white pepper marinated chicken

red cabbage

thinly sliced carrots

cucumber

red bell pepper

sesame seeds

scallions

fresh coriander

wonton strips (which you can airfry out of wonton wrappers in like 3 seconds)

dressing (best is a combo of sesame oil, garlic, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, honey, and ginger)

Now if you’re not mad for salads, also nice in the summer is

A crumbled sausage + broccoli pasta (i like orecchiette); it doesn’t need to have a real sauce per sé, you can just season however you like and then throw a bit of pasta water, and parmesan in at the end and it’s lovely

Caprese with nice fresh mozzarella (best gotten from the cheese counter if possible). If you ever see san marzano tomatoes buy them immediately and make them into caprese

Veg-based sandwiches, I have a special love for a vegan one that’s got homemade cucumber sriracha hummus, tomatoes and baby spinach. It doesnt sound like much but if you get the hummus right it’s very cool + has a little kick and it’s lovely with nice bread!

Homemade greek gyros— I use this recipe every time and the marinade is actually life changing. Like sometimes I lie in bed and dream about this chicken and I am not even kidding

A pork + pineapple rice bowl, which basically consists of rice topped with; minced pork cooked with soy sauce and sesame oil, long strips of carrot and courgette cooked in a pan with salt + pepper til soft, pickled shallot or red onion (just left in a water/vinegar/sugar bath for 30min or so), and pieces of pineapple right out of the tin. There’s also a light soy/rice wine vinegar/honey sauce that can be thrown over the top— i think the friend i learned the recipe from got it from one of those meal delivery services so it’s likely online (or i can track it down from her for you if you’re interested!)

Hopefully some of those are of some interest to you!! I’ll live vicariously through you and your heat but I hope you stay comfortable and safe friend

This one was so much more detailed and I don’t know why-

Pickles “The” Drummer, physique/appearance

Nathan

Skwisgarr

Toki

Murderface

He got his name legally changed to the dumbest thing possible-

His age was actually a debate in the fandom during the early days, but that dwindled down greatly once a video of him was taken, drunk as all hell, yelling “I’M TWENTY-FUCKING-NINE YEARS OF OLD AND GODDAMN PROUD OF IT!” to a bartender asking for age identification. He’s 31 now. (By now, I mean like…10ish years ago, when the show was out)

5’4, short guy. Especially when compared to his band members. During shows, he started to wear heeled boots that make him 5’8. Still wears normal shoes most days, though. And still gets shit from the other guys for it.

Only 120 lbs. He’s generally pretty scrawny, although his biceps are nicely toned from years of going ham on the drums. Also has a bit of a beer gut, just a little squishy.

FtM, has been on T for a while and has gotten top surgery done. More headcanons regarding his gender journey later!

Let’s talk about his hair for a while-

No one in his family knows why his hair is…that color. Like, they have the ginger gene on his mom’s side. His mom and brother both have nice, brownish-red hair. But he came out with a head full of neON ORANGE HAIR.

It’s very thick and frizzy. When it is in it’s natural state, its a pretty much a lion’s mane. Many people thought he looked like that on purpose during his Snakes ‘N Barrels days to fit in with the ‘glam rock’ fashion. But actually, he started playing glam rock because his hair looks like that.

As for facial hair, he’s very proud of it. It took a long time to grow out properly, so he takes really good care when maintaining it. (Ignore the fact that it’s a different color in the pic. That was my mistake.)

Cannot say the same for his skin. It’s very dry and sort of…leathery? He spends lots of time outside with absolutely no sunscreen, so my man has been BAKED (in more than one way ;))

Also from this, he’s very tan and freckled. It’s cute.

He has a tiny little button nose. Sometimes, he even twitches it like a rabbit. Literally so precious.

His lips are dry and cracked from years and years of smoking various substances. He prays to gods of burt’s bees chapstick.

Also, canon to the show, but he has a very goofy, crooked smile!

Doesn’t take that good of care for his dreadlocks. He spent so much of his life fussing over his hair, he’s honestly sick of it. He only goes to get them redone when they start to seriously stink.

To contrast Skwisgaar; I will say, he has the fattest ass in the band. Murderface is a close second. That is all.

He loves his piercings. Got his ears done when he was a teenager to piss off his parents, did his eyebrows later on. It’s seriously his favorite thing about himself, physically speaking.

He has all sorts of clothes, many of which he altered himself. From his muscle-tees, baggy jeans, leather pants, crop-tops, even a few skirts. He sticks to the same basic getup, but will shock both bandmates and fans occasionally by bringing out some seriously fabulous outfits.

In universe, there are several online accounts completely dedicated to him wearing feminine clothing. He single-handily brought back cheetah-print leggings.

He’s very talented at eye makeup. Doesn’t do it so much nowadays, but still enjoys a little bit of glittery eyeshadow. As a treat.

Call me weird, but I think I’m gonna include a…smell headcanon in all of these. Whatever.

Usually, he’ll smell like alcohol and weed. Sometimes vomit or piss as well. It’s the truth, hun.

But let’s not fool ourselves; he has a collection of very old, very fruity perfumes that he sprays on himself occasionally when he doesn’t feel like showering. Which is often. So he smells like whiskey, piss, and “cherry kiss dream”

Conclusion; he’s one of the few people on Earth who could acceptably wear low-rise jeans. He deserves it.

Here to add some hopefully helpful tips regarding the plant-eating here, and hopefully without offending anyone:

• if you live in North America, your day-to-day diet is very likely to have a lot of processed foods and sugar, as in, much of the food one can buy will have some form of sugar and flavour enhancers etc already added into it (not only North America of course, but I know how EASY they make it there).

• Add to that the fact that fresh produce is relatively expensive and time-consuming to make a nice dish with, I really understand how unappealing it can be to eat plants.

• nonetheless, good idea to eat plants. It's hard to get used to non-sweet flavouring, and instead savour bitterness or sourness or certain textures is a whole deal, and in my experience if your gut biome isn't accustomed to eating them, it'll take time to adjust and the adjustment might be physically uncomfortable.

• I used to hate preparing vegetables to eat because the end result would be so unappealing. Someone in the comments mentioned 'overcooked veg', someone else 'mushy'. As long we associate eating plants with this kind of disappointment then it's so hard to get into the habit.

So a few tips from my personal experience over the 20 years I've been cooking:

• if you are working hard and don't have the time or energy to cook healthy for yourself, but you CAN find healthy take away, do it. Don't beat yourself up about the expense, or your executive dys/function. How marvellous, humans have been buying their food from vendors for thousands of years, I shall keep the tradition alive. (*no, not deep fried foods)

• if you're cooking food yourself: veg generally doesn't need a lot, and boiling generally is not what it needs. I have a microwave steamer for steaming, oven for roasting, pan or airfryer for grilling or frying.

• Soup makers are an INCREDIBLE tool for I-have-no-time-but-want-something-nice (chop up veg, add water, 17 min later hey presto soup).

• if it is green: the brighter the green, the better (don't overcook the zucchini, chop brussels sprouts in half so they'll soften more quickly but retain some crunch, spinach truly only needs a few minutes)

• many cuisines have wonderful methods and recipes for preparing veggies. Mexican cooking, various Indian cuisines, Indonesian, Korean, Middle-Eastern, Eritrean, Ethiopian, Japanese, Chinese, etc.

• Italian and French too, though for IT it can be a faff to find delicious ingredients for the very simple seasonal dishes, and for FR it can be a faff full stop.

• Salt, pepper, olive oil, sesame oil, balsamico / different vinegars, pickles, soy sauce, tahini, oyster sauce, harissa, kochukaru, miso, shiokoji etc. Your veggies will taste best when combining with herbs, spices, other ingredients that have interesting flavour.

• Onion and garlic! Celery! Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme! Chives, garlic stems. And dill, and tarragon, and basil, and cilantro/coriander (unless you have the soap gene), and lemon grass, curry, nutmeg, bay leaves, and ginger, and turmeric, and galangal/ laos, and lime, and lemon-- this is just what's available locally near me, depending on what shop you go to you may be blessed with other herbs. I've taken to googling recipes based on interesting looking ingredients.

• fermented things like miso and kimchi (and kombucha and cheese) can be good for the gut and will make veggies SO good, but take notice of how your bod reacts. I personally go through periods of deep craving and then periods of NO. If it upsets the tum, consider incremental increase or hold off.

• there's much to be found online. Start wherever. Ottolenghi's recipes are fun: unexpected flavours and textures, very pretty to look at, great combinations with dairy and/or meat but many stand-alone veg recipes https://ottolenghi.co.uk/recipes

• please note there's a difference between eating a vegetarian diet and eating vegetables. Plastic is also vegan, and you can eat strictly vegetarian and still get scurvy.

• find a parent or grandparent (possibly not your own) whose cooking you like and whose shoulder you might peer over and whom you might ask questions of. I never learned more than from my ex-boyfriend's parents who, with Creole and South-Asian backgrounds, cooked any and every veg with so much knowledge and talent and good taste that it was a joy to eat with them every time.

(feel free to DM me with food questions, I don't know everything but I can help with the things I do know.)

A lot of younger people have no idea what aging actually looks and feels like, and the reasons behind it. That ignorance is so dangerous. If you don’t want to “be old,” you aren’t talking about a number of years. I have patients in their late 80s who could still handily beat me in a race—one couple still runs marathons together, in their late 80s—and I lost someone who was in her early 60s to COPD last year. What you want is not youth, it is health.

If you want to still be able to enjoy doing things in your 60s and 70s and 80s and even 90s, what you want to do, right now, is quit smoking, get some activity on a regular basis (a couple of walks a week is WAY better for you than nothing; increasing from 1 hour a day of cardio to 1.5 will buy you very little), and eat some plants. That’s it. No magic to it. No secret weird tricks. Don’t poison yourself, move around so your body doesn’t forget how, and eat plants.

If you have trouble moving around now because of mobility limitations, bad news: you still need to move around, not because it’s immoral not to, but because that’s still the best advice we have. I highly recommend looking up the Sit and Be Fit series; it is freely available and has exercises that can be done in a chair, which are suitable for people with limited mobility or poor balance. POTS sufferers, I’m looking at you.

If you have trouble eating plants because of dietary issues (they cause gas, etc.) or just because they’re bitter (super taster with texture issues here!), bad news. You still want to find a way to get some plants into your body on a regular basis. I know. It sucks. The only way I can do it is restaurants—they can make salads taste like food. I can also tolerate some bagged salads. On bad weeks, the OCD with contamination focus gets so bad I just can’t. However, canned beans always seem “safe,” and they taste a bit like candy, so they’re a good fallback.

If you smoke and you have tried quitting a million times and you’re just not ready to, bad news. You still need to quit. Your body needs you to try and keep trying. Your brain needs it, too. Damaging small blood vessels racks up cumulative damage over time that your body can start trying to reverse as soon as you quit. I know it’s insanely, absurdly addictive. You still need to.

You cannot rules lawyer your way past your body’s basic needs. It needs food, sleep, activity, and the absence of poison. Those are both small things and big asks. You cannot sustain a routine based on punishment, so don’t punish your body. Find ways to include these things that are enjoyable and rewarding instead. Experiment. There is no reason not to experiment—you don’t have to know instantly what’s going to work for you and what won’t, you just need to be willing to try things and make changes when things aren’t working for you.

You will still age. Your body will stop making collagen and elastin. Tissues you can see and tissues you can’t see will both sag. Cushioning tissues under your skin will get thinner. You’ll bruise more easily. Skin will tear more easily. Accumulated sun damage will start to show more and more. Joints will begin to show arthritis. Tendons and ligaments will get weaker and get injured more easily, as will muscles. Bones will lose mass and get easier to break. You’ll get tired more easily.

But you know what makes the difference between being dead, or as good as, in your 60s vs your 90s? Activity, plants, and quitting smoking. And don’t do meth. Saw a 58-year-old guy this week who is going to have a heart attack if he doesn’t quit whatever stimulant he’s on. I pretended to believe it was just the cigarettes, and maybe it is, but meth and cocaine will kill you quicker. Stop poisoning yourself.

Baby steps; take it one step at a time; you don’t need to have everything figured out right now. But you do need to be working on figuring things out.
