Re: tokyo mew mew AU
so I changed the whole thing pretty much BUT.
Her animal is still a forest owlet, but her fruit is mangosteen. I changed things to fit mangosteen (quick drawing of mangosteen depicted on the left; ignore my attempt at a star fruit next to it. I was brainstorming)
Tumblr media
Name: Mew Mango (not mangosteen cause that's too long to say :p) (slightly confusing) (I guess the whole thing is fine) (idk) (if anyone feels compelled you can create your own name I'd love to hear one) (I'm not being sarcastic)
Weapon: Da-mango-maru (instrument is a damaru)
Tumblr media
Attack: ribbon mangostaan-u storm-o (or smthn)? (unsure on how well storm and the damaru match. but maybe the sound of the drum could be like rain?)
@ebbpettier
apologies that I took a month. I hope you have not perished
not sure where her mew mark would be? maybe on her back (like mint). I'm slightly tempted to have it on her knee/back of her knee lol
it's probably obvious, but none of this is set in stone
redrew this picture of mint:

One quirk that took me a while to sort of feel in my current city is in the overwhelming majority of white australian citizens in this place, despite me being a white Australian no one has a face like me. Back in melb there was of course my family (extended family also) but there were literally thousands of other people with a story like mine and the face to show it. There were other slavic people on the train, overhearing russian in a store, a little deli run by a ukrainian family. In my workplace, all the white people are are from the UK within 3 to 20 generations. One has an italian grandmother for spice.
Its very strange coming from a city that really is made of immigrants and really internalising the view that Australian means your parents came here from anywhere. These descendants of convicts and white Australia policy migrants (white Australia was specifically to re-english the place after a bunch of incorrectly white mainland European refugees came) have far too much say in government policy. Also their lunches and clothes and celebratory rituals are boring and empty even to them. Why do you all wear shoes inside.

there are so many fruits i dont kno the flavor of and thats so unacceptable. i’ve never even eaten a star fruit. a dragonfruit. a white strawberry. a fig! never had a cloudberry or a gooseberry or a fresh currant. if this were like the italian renaissance i could get some sort of patron who would sponsor my travels across the world sampling types of berries and assorted other fruits

Can I request on how the Dragons (Separate) would react to meeting (Dragon) Y/N, who thought themselves to be an odd looking cookie, because they were raise by cookies & has never once meet another dragon before
Enjoy the milkshake! Tower of adventures is actually more fun than I expected, am I mad? No. Not one bit.
Dragon? No. Cookie.
-platonic-
Dragons are quite the sight to behold, they are magnificent creatures that cookies don’t see often. But there is one dragon that’s been seen by a lot of cookie! but the question is… what does a dragon do when they aren’t aware of their dragon blood?
Pitaya Dragon
Walking through dragon city, Pitaya Dragon noticed an odd looking cookie. No… not a cookie… a dragon! Why was a dragon wondering around with no disguise!
So Pitaya decided to ask why. Now of course they didn’t ask in front of a lot of cookies, they asked in a more private area
But hearing this dragon confidently say that they were not a dragon, just as cookie who didn’t look like the average cookie and that they were glad to find someone else like them
To say that Pitaya was shocked was an understatement. They were in disbelief.
Ask why they thought this kinda made some sense. They grew up around cookies, basically living the same life any other cookie would and they weren’t even around cookies who knew what dragons even were!
Pitaya took a good while to try and talk to this dragon about their dragon heritage and they made a little progress when they ask who your parents were and all you responded with was that you came from an egg. You know… LIKE A DRAGON WOULD-
But you are going to need a lot of convincing for you to believe that you are a dragon.
Ananas Dragon
Sitting on their throne, Ananas Dragon heard a cookie walk in. It was Mango Cookie, but the young cookie seemed confused..? Not like himself
The Golden Dragon inquired what was wrong only to be informed that there was another dragon resting on the island but when hearing the description on the dragon’s appearance… it didn’t sound like any of the other dragons Ananas knew…
It was understandable why Ananas wanted to meet this dragon. I mean, you’d be concerned if a powerful being similar to you just appeared out of the blue
When the two of you met, you immediately got excited since you finally met a cookie just like you
Ananas was confused and straight up asked if you thought you were a cookie. And when you responded with yes, Ananas was just deadpan.
Ananas asked if you were joking. And when you said you were serious, they sighed. And said that you were a dragon, just like themself
They were not going to spend energy on trying to convince you that you were in fact a dragon.
Ananas just told you that this was THEIR island and that any damage caused would have severe repercussions
Lotus Dragon
Lotus Dragon was resting, playing their mandolin peacefully when Hydrangea Cookie approached. Informing the dragon that another dragon was prancing around the ongoing wish festival
Now Lotus was aware that the other dragons would never go to one of their wish festivals so this was a surprise
Instead of seeking you out, Lotus Dragon asked for Hydrangea to bring you to them so the two of you could have a chat
When you entered you were super happy to see a cookie like you! Lotus was a little surprised since it was very clear that you were a dragon
But unlike the other dragons so far, Lotus won’t try to convince you that you are a dragon but to let you discover it yourself.
Lotus did clarify that they were a dragon and not a cookie, while you were disappointed that you didn’t find a “cookie” like you, but you were curious about why the two of you looked so similar
So Lotus decided to let you stay in the Lotus Palace so you could learn more about your dragon heritage and come to terms with it since you genuinely believed you were a cookie
Lychee Dragon
Lychee loves to be pampered by the Rambutan tribe by being in the form of Mangosteen Cookie. But seeing another dragon getting admired pissed then off
Lychee did catch on quickly to your confusion when the Cookies of the Rambutan Tribe asked you about your dragon like look
But the moment Lychee had heard that you thought that you were just an odd looking cookie due to growing up around cookies your whole life
So it’s now become Lychee’s goal to make sure you never find out that you’re a dragon.
Why? Lychee is just silly like that ig-
Longan Dragon
Longan Dragon had one simple plan. To make dragons be the only ones wondering earthbread. But there was one thing that was messing with the plan. A dragon they never met.
This infuriated Longan. During their slumber a dragon egg that they weren’t made aware of hatched
Naturally, Longan wants to eliminate this flaw in their plan. But after inquiring some information about you, they don’t really want to eliminate you, but their anger has been amplified
Hearing that a fellow DRAGON genuinely believed that they were some lowlife COOKIE
Just hope that the two of you never cross paths. Because Longan won’t hesitate to use force to make you to realize that you are a DRAGON and not a COOKIE.

★ txt as popular tropes
pairing : ot5 x fem! reader
genre : fluff, kissing, a bit suggestive but not really??
a/n : this was my first time writing so i hope u guys like it!! i kinda went overboard with tyuns oops but please leave asks so i can continue with things u guys like &lt;3
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
yeonjun friends to lovers
you guys would probably know each other through modeling agencies or some type of work, talking basically every day, going to coffee runs together, shopping sprees, calling on facetime
you didn't really see him in a romantic light until your best friend mentioned it and from then on you couldn't get the idea of you two as a couple out of your head
he noticed a slight change in your behavior - the fast pull of your hand from a skim of his finger, the twitch in your spine as he put his hand on your lower back, the inability for you to hold eye contact longer than a few seconds
so he started to get a bit suspicious and of course, as the tease he is, he pulls you in for a hug and begins leaning in, and once you close your eyes and start leaning in to he knows hes cracked the case
he just stands there with a smug smile as you wait there for a kiss until you open your eyes with a pout and give a light slap to his chest
he shakes his head and laughs until he pulls you in for the second time to share a kiss
soobin strangers to lovers
my guess is that you met at a grocery store
you dropped your card at the register and he was behind you so he went ahead and picked it up for you
as you made eye contact your world stopped because of how cute he was (don't get me started on his bread cheeks >.&lt;)
but little did you know that he thought the exact same thing of you
as he passed you your card, you felt a spark run through your body but you ignored it opting for a simple and quiet 'thank you' and a bow which was returned with a wave of his hands and a 'of course, no problem' paired with a light dust of pink of his cheeks
on your way home you couldn't stop thinking about him and you wanted to see him again so you planned to go to the same grocery store at the same time and day next week -- little did you know he was planning the same thing
you began seeing each other every week until finally as you were grabbing mangosteen he came up next to you telling you that this was his favorite fruit
you exchanged names and walked around while talking about random little things until you both realized the time and walked to the register
he walked you to your car and left you with a simple 'see you next week'
the next time you saw each other he finally asked you for your number to pick you up for your date at the bakery cafe ^^
beomgyu enemies to lovers
he would be the one class clown who would always pester and make fun of YOU and not your other classmates
secretly though he just wants your attention bc he's scared to outwardly show his feelings -- especially now that you probably hate him
but then one day you two end up getting paired for an assignment that requires you guys to work together in and outside of school
at first, he continues his antics but as time passes you begin to see a softer yet still playful side of him
there's lingering touches between you two, late night walks, quick ice cream runs, arcade "breaks"
until finally you guys share your last block of work time before the project is due and as you leave the library he gives you a rushed confession afraid that things will go back to how they were *which you obviously return*
after a messy kiss with his hands on your waist and yours on his hair, you officially start dating &lt;3
and he continues to be a menace ofc
taehyun brothers best friend
tyun and your brother have been best friends since middle school
as the youngest member of his family, he's always held great pride in being someone other than your brother whom you look up to
he's always felt an obligation to protect you whether it be from a weird guy on the street to the actual street when you scraped your knee on it in elementary school
but lately, his feelings towards you have been changing as you enter the dating world
your brother won't shut up about how you're boy crazy now and that you need to focus on your studies and you don't know why he's making it such a big deal when you just went out with one guy who you didn't even like ???
truth be told, you've liked tyun since you first laid your eyes on him, and going on this date was supposed to be a distraction from him but it obviously wasn't working as you felt your heart flutter every time he brought food he ordered for him and his brother up to your room to eat, not forgetting to take a few minutes to ask how your doing personally and in school
though now you realized his lingering stare and elongated hug paired with a gentle 'im proud of you' followed by head pats
you've never blushed this hard in your life but thank god he didn't tease you about it and just smiled
the months passed like that and you realized that he began spending more time with you, leaving your brother to play video games and study on his own as tyun was in your room helping you with homework
Over time, your crush on him grew as did his crush on you
you guys would mess around instead of studying
he would initiate pillow fights where he would pin you down followed by heavy eye contact and arm wrestles where he would flaunt his strength, not that you minded
it wasn't until one day while studying that you couldn't focus while he was talking to you because his lips just looked so soft that day that once he realized you were staring at them he pulled your chair in closer, gently held your chin, and gave you the softest kiss you've ever had
after parting he gave you the happiest smile in the world asking you to be his girl not realizing that your brother was standing at the door dumbfounded but not surprised as his best friend would always bring you up in every conversation
huening kai roommates
you guys have been roommates for about two years now and not only did that consist of shared sweets, movie nights, and plushie fights, but also a huge crush that he's been harboring
he's scared that you'll move out soon and with the encouragement of the boys he starts to make bolder moves
which in his book is letting you borrow some of his plushies and letting you pick the movie
despite his newfound extended generosity, you don't pick up on it until you're having a game night with the boys, and yeonjun privately slips that kai has a massive crush on you
your cheeks immediately heat up and you're flustered for the rest of the night
once the boys are gone and it's just you two, you ask him to have a dance party and purposefully put a slow dance on queue
he gets shy at first but finally calms down and then finally the world makes sense to him
as you rest your head on his chest and he holds your waist he quietly tells you that he loves you and you say it back
you lift your head and after a couple seconds of silence but heavy air you share a soft kiss followed by a sweet 'are you my girlfriend now? please say yes'

Gideon + Poetry
Tumblr media
All photo credits are at the end
"Romance #1" by Eunsong Kim
like some 14 year old girl waiting for her crush to glance back i
keep waiting for capitalism to end
but it won't end
my adult life lover states
on what will end:
Libraries Birds Retirement Recess Sprinting during recess Hispid Hares Starfish shaped like stars inconvenience Wrinkles Sunken cheeks Living Corals Protests Anti-Nuclear Proliferation Non-Aggression Pacts Dragonflies Mangosteen DMZs Trade Embargos Leopards, all kinds Sawfins Rewilding Infiltration Plot/Dreams Oak, Trees. Partulina Varisbilis Partulina Slendida (-------) Violence Prevention Programs News. News:
Might a few jellyfish survive—
counting till revelations becomes a part of—
I feel like Gideon isn't talked about very much, and I get it. He's in the show far less than Rossi, and his ending is unsatisfying. But in many ways, he built the team. He's Spencer's father figure and Aaron's friend. He sticks up for Elle, Emily, and Penelope and keeps Morgan in balance. I think he is sad for much of the show and is good at hiding it. I think this poem represents that dynamic well. He's waiting for the world to be good. He's waiting for something that will never come, and in the end, that's why he has to leave.
But I just want to remind you all there is good in the world. There is hope out there. You matter and if you feel sad or alone I am always here to talk. Please be kind to yourselves today. I hope the start to your weeks is amazing! Love Levi - ❤️

Was thinking of FFM, specifically the bit about the island being effectively isolated from the outside world. That means it's entirely possible for different strands of plant life that otherwise went extinct or had evolved different characteristics remain in suspension, only affected by the things Wukong himself brings onto the island.
Pigsy is a food connoisseur. He only uses the freshest ingredients. In Century Egg Au and Slow Boiled, he effectively becomes a parental figure to Wukong. One, who would very much likely make many a trip to FFM to check up on Wukong. Same for TMKATI except Wukong doesn't live in the mountain in that one and therefore there's less reason to visit. Imagine how he'll react when he realizes the mythical island not only has the freshest ingredients but the rarest as well!
Pigsy seeing an isolated island with some very tasty looking rare tree fruits from the view of Sandy's ship, only to learn that it has a impassable magical barrier:
Tumblr media
He's ok to let the matter slide... for now. He reasons with himself that whatever is on that island is better off without his mitts on it.
Until he's shaken awake by a very excitable Tang, holding a book on island isolation and evolution, rambling at a mile a minute about how the plant and animal life on the sheltered island has likely evolved completely separate from the outside world, and if this island is part of the fabled lost country of Alolai - then it likely is teeming with wildlife that evolved after the mythical Floods and Burning.
Pigsy, groggy: "Tang... how'd you get in my room???" Tang, highly-caffienated: "I haven't slept in two days!" Sandy, texting: "Is he at your place now?"
Eventually after forcing the scholar to calm down and take a rest before his heart gives out, Pigsy is told something that really tickles his inner connoisseur.
Tang: "Before it was introduced and selectively bred, potatoes could only be encountered in remote areas of the Andes mountains." Pigsy: "And?" Tang: "Imagine if you discovered the next potato." Pigsy: *squeal of intrigue!*
Needless to say, Pigsy has his own Nerd Moment™ the first time he actually touches down on the island and recognises a bunch of rare species.
Pigsy, side-tracked by a tree: "Sweet Chang'e! This is looks like a button mangosteen! I've never heard of them growing this far north! The skin is more red-orange though, maybe it's a branched variety back when the islands were connected to the mainland? Button Mangosteens taste closer to tangerines than their purple cousins, I wonder if that intesifies based on colouration." Sandy, delighted for his friend: "You seem to be having lots of fun!" Pigsy: *nodding happily*
He's equally delighted in the TMKATI au to have "Such a resourceful employee!" when Wukong comes back from his visits to the island bearing gifts. It caught him off guard the first time though.
Wukong: "Hey boss, I got you something." Pigsy, opening a box: "Wu... are these fresh truffles?!" Wukong, wondering if he did something wrong: "Yeah, why? Did I mess up? I overheard you talking about wanting to have enough to experiment with and-" Pigsy: "No no! I'm... I'm so grateful, I don't even know what to say... How did you even afford these?" Wukong, genuine confusion: "Afford? I just gathered a bunch from the lime orchard at home. There's hundreds of these things - I don't like 'em personally cus they taste like dirt to me. I normally just toss them in the hotpot when I run out of the chicken-tasting ones." Pigsy: "Excuse me."
Tumblr media
I hc that in the direct aftermath in returning to FFM during the White Bone Spirit chapter of JTTW; Sun Wukong did a lot of gardening and farming in order to ensure that his people would have a sustainable source of food. Probably convinced Zhu Bajie to "show off his super-cool 9-Toothed Rake" to start the farmers off.
He also plants a bunch of super-rare and super-divine plants on the island that he picks up in his travels.
Wukong, chilling on a tree clearly not native to the island: "What? I like using the leaves as nesting material."
And lets not mention the super rare species of animals that managed to survive/escape the Burning.
FFM probably has an undiscovered wild cat or two that Sandy accidentally befriends.

Kirigakure Worldbuilding II - Specialties
Tumblr media
Inspired by a recent conversation I had with @pxssy-stuntin-for-itxchi, I got wanted to add more to my Kirigakure worldbuiling post!
Tumblr media
Food Preservation Since except for a month during the winter, it never really gets cold in Kirigakure. This has lead to its citizens becoming very creative at enhancing the shelf life of the food that they have. Meat/fish is dry-aged and smoked, fruits are turned into preserve, cheong, or slow-dried. Dairy is a luxury in the water realm, so there are a lot of plant based dairy alternatives already, so it’s no surprise the wave realm has a quite big vegetarian and vegan population. Even though their spice tolerance is not the highest, when talking SALT tolerance, no village can beat Kiri. They are VERY generous with salting their food. In order to get a smokey flavor to any dish, you can obtain smoked salt everywhere in the country. The water realm was the first region the come up with the concept of fermentation of food. Milk is turned into yoghurt and cabbage is turned into kimchi and its more popular variant - sauerkraut. Fun fact: Suigetsu comes from a high ranking caste, so he actually was able to afford dairy yoghurt and jello with actual gelatine, and they're his favorite foods.
Tumblr media
Kimchi and Sauerkraut
The general spice tolerance of Kiri citizens is not the highest across the shinobi world, so kimchi is mostly exported to Konoha and Suna. The cabbage grown in the water realm is specifically bred to be extra heat resistant and crunchy. In order to cut down on waste, the excess is turned into sauerkraut juice. To put less of a strain on the public healthcare system, the water realm government has issued its citizens to exercise and eat healthy – especially children. To get more children to drink sauerkraut juice, it is produced in portable, biodegradable little juice boxes which are handed out for free in the Kirigakure academy. Every Kiri genin has tasted it atleast once. Scurvy was once a big problem for most shinobi going on long term stealth missionas, since most just lived off dried meat and crackers, except for Kiri Nin, since they always carry sauerkraut juice (and kumquats) with them.
Tumblr media
Fruit
Mangos: With their sweet and fruity taste, they’re popular amongst children, especially when dried, rolled into balls with an added sugar crust. While other countries see them as a special treat they’re a staple in Kiri. Papaya: Another Kiri staple. It is eaten either as a fruit in its orange form or in its green form in more hearty dishes. The seeds are ground and sold as a pepper alternative. Its extracts of the are used by the Kiri beauty industry, which is the biggest one, closely followed by Suna's beauty industry. Peaches: Often grown on the mountaintops of the water realm, they’re loved all over the country. Peach trees are seen as a sign of fertility, renewal and good luck. The pits are turned into persipan, which many foreigners don't like. Durian: Those stinky fruit are banned in Kiri’s public spaces. However, it is still the most popular fruit overall, so only a few get exported yearly, much to the other countries' durian lovers' chagrin. Jackfruit: Not a lot of Kiri citizens like its fleshy texture but it is often used as meat alternative by Kiri’s large plant-based population. Lychee: They’re often sugared and canned, or added to jelly. They're amongst the most popular fruit to make cheong with.
Kumquat: Kiri nin love them because they’re basically easily portable, vitamin c filled snacks. Other honorable mentions include: Rambutan, Mangosteen, Starfruit, Cherimoya, Soursop, Yuzu and Tamarillo.
Tumblr media
Jelly If you’ve read my last post on Kiri specialties, you probably know that instead of manufactured candy, Sweet tooths (teeth?) in Kiri chomp down on dried fruit, fermented sugary sticky rice and – jelly. Gelatine, like most non fish animal products, is a luxury so most jellies are made with agar-agar, a plant based “gelatine”. Just take some fruit juice and set it with agar – and there you have jelly. Most foreigners find Kiri’s obsession with jelly pudding off-putting, but that doesn’t stop them. Fun fact: Suigetsu comes from a high ranking caste, so he actually was able to afford dairy yoghurt and jello with actual gelatine, and they're his favorite foods. Non food fun fact: As genetic engineering gets more advanced and Kirigakure already having no issues using bacteria, they're also the biggest exporter of nutrient agar for agar plates which are used for the cultivation of bacteria and funghi. Kigakure is the leading village when it comes to biological and medical advancements, which is why Orochimaru has visited very often (and eventually ran into Kimimaro)

VDL gang as fruits!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
trying to make up for not posting :/ so i’ll be spam posting a little bit!! sorry if it bothers anyone.
Abigail - Mamey Sapote
named “mother of all fruits” for multiple reasons, and abigail is basically like the 2nd camp mother, after ms. grimshaw.
Arthur - Apple
the main character of all fruits. if anyone thinks of a fruit it’s probably going to be an apple. 90% chance, and arthur is most likely going to be the first person you think of in terms of story game protagonists.
Bill - PawPaw
according to google, most forgotten fruit. bill is most forgotten in terms of gang members, and is always being pushed aside, ignored, and looked down upon.
Charles - Banana
one of many fruits that can adapt to almost anywhere. also thrives on its own just as well as it thrives in groups. Charles only joined the gang because of their code, but he could’ve left easily at any time and be just fine, as well as he can adapt to anywhere, and quickly figures out the animals and plants, which ones to eat and not to eat.
Dutch - Papaya
named “father of all fruits.” dutch is the father of the gang, along with being the leader/king of the game. a homophone for “father came,” as its name came from a compound word, “papa” which means father, “aya” which in hindi, means “to come in the past tense.”
Davey - Ansualt Pear
a fruit that has been extinct for decades. davey unfortunately became extinct in chapter 1’s cutscene.
Grimshaw - Mangosteen
dubbed “queen of all fruits.” grimshaw is the 1st most responsible in camp, as she has people doing the cleaning, and managing the cooking, as well as bickering arthur to donate (which i did), and as a queen is often responsible/loyal to her kingdom, grimshaw was loyal to dutch since she joined, and even when she died.
Hosea - Passionfruit
2nd longest lasting fruit, as apple is the longest lasting. Hosea was the 2nd member of the gang, and was the oldest, plus the longest living (before chapter 4 events).
Jack - Tayberry
hybrid fruit between raspberry and blackberry. raspberry and blackberries are similar, almost the same as each other. all though john and abigail seem to come from different backgrounds, they are both in some ways similar. they both had to do things to survive, and they both want the best for jack.
Javier - Grape
mostly comes in bunches, and can’t exactly thrive on its own without their bunch. javier was best with the gang, and after he was not mentally okay, and was on the run more than he was in the gang.
Jenny - Pineapple
described as “the friendship fruit,” and jenny had liked many activities, and shared common interests with other gang members, causing her to become a friend to many members.
John - Strychnine
most toxic fruit, extremely bitter and poisonous. john in rdr2 wasn’t exactly like this, but in rdr1 he was almost exactly like this. he would’ve done anything for his family (not including uncle), and was bitter to almost everyone he encountered before reuniting with his family. whoever would encounter john and get on his bad side would eventually end up dying, from either him or his son.
Kieran - Durian
most hate it, and kieran was hated/outcasted from the van der linde gang, and not even jack would take a liking to him, as he was previously an o’driscoll.
Karen - Ackee
the ackee is mostly favored for its looks, but it actually tastes horrible. Karen is liked mostly for her appearance, like her chest area or her body, but she has a much deeper personality other than her looks. Karen is considerate of others (the other women) but still isn’t afraid to use her abilities. (cutscenes with molly o’shea, especially the one where she punches her.)
Lenny - Orange
one of the most liked fruits, and is an amazing one. whenever someone names fruits, they will most certainly name orange. lenny is a great character in rdr2, and is one of the best.
Mac - Australian Finger Lime
the australian finger lime is widely unheard of, and most people haven’t seen the look of it. everyone but the rdr2 character designers have never seen mac. his look is unknown to everyone who didn’t work on rdr2.
Mary - Beth - Cocoa Beans
cocoa beans are versatile, but they’re most known for chocolate. Mary-beth can and has done multiple different things in her life, but she is most known for her love of books and writing.
Micah - Honeydew
arguably the worst fruit. don’t know how people can ever like it. just like micah bell is the worst character.
Molly - Densuke Watermelon
one of the fanciest fruits, but is still a melon. just like the other ones, just puts on a fake facade that they’re expensive. molly o’shea does that for dutch, and the densuke does it for money and fame.
Pearson - Rhubarb
goes well with stews, but doesn’t have much versatility. Pearson doesn’t know how to cook much else but stew.
Reverend - Coconut
coconut is one the fruits that represent god, and reverend has always led a god-driven life, even with all his sins.
Sadie - Pomegranate
pomegranate is split open, and bleeds out, and is never the same without its insides/seeds. sadie was never the same without jake, and will never be.
Sean - Cox’s Orange Pippin
the orange pippin represents ireland, and is irelands national fruit. sean comes from ireland, and is very prideful about his heritage.
Strauss - Yubari King Melon
the king melon is the most expensive fruit in the world, and strauss values himself above getting the debts, which caused arthur to have TB.
Trelawny - Jackfruit
jackfruits are rare to discover in certain places, and trelawny only appears when he has a lead, or when he has to travel back to the gang.
Tilly - Peaches
little sister of apples, as well as dating back to 6000 bc. tilly is seen as a sister figure to arthur/john, and she’s one of the first gang members to join.
Uncle - Cempedak
2nd worst smelling fruit, but tastes good. Uncle is notorious for smelling bad (plus being lazy and lumbago), but he has some positive personality traits.

ooooohhhhh other fruit suggestions for juniper to try would be passion fruit, oranges, dragon fruit, mangosteens, coconuts or maybe even peaches/plums/cherries/apricots or the funniest one would be durians (so tasty yet so stinky)
oh this should be fun, I can just imagine MC making a devil tube (I forgot what devildom yt is called rip) with juniper and having him try out these different fruits. I'll only do afew of these
For anyone new, Juniper is a deadly species of plant animal down in the devildom which are lethal to demons. He took a fondness to MC and refused to leave their side, MC managed to save him from death after convincing diavolo and lucifer to put a protection spell around juniper so he wouldn't hurt any one. No one knows but the main group
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Passion fruit - He loves chewing on them, they are crunchy and lovely and he enjoys the taste. The smell of his flowers becomes really nice and he likes to mix it with mango, the colours of his flowers is a nice mix of yellow and black
Cherries - He loves eating the pips of these, the taste he loves but the pips he enjoys most. He loves sucking on them then spitting them at people. He finds it funny how he can just projectile shoot cherry pips at the brothers and they cant do anything because no one wants to get yelled at by Mc. The smell and redish colour of his flowers is ok to him but he enjoys shooting people with cherry pips more
Peaches - He likes eating these because of the fuzzy texture and the seed inside at the middle, he likes sucking on them. He really enjoys the smell it gives his flowers and the peachy colour it gives him
Coconuts - He didn't like coconut at the start because of the husk around it, he tired to bite directly into it and thought it was yucky. Once you cut into it and offered him abit of coconut flesh, he thought it was okay but he likes eating it to make his flowers smell nice
Durians - He absolutely hates these based off of smell alone, he wouldn't even try it. I was exited at first but the moment you cut into the fruit and got a whiff of the foul smell, he was out of the room faster then you could say 'durian'. He couldn't control his flowers and he full on started crying when the smell stayed with him and made his flowers smell exactly like durian

My crack at sonadow fankid designs. As of right now they're not canon to my future au with the rest of the fankids. But I have considered changing that since I think Mangosteen (my sonknux fankid) would be a good big sister and my metamy fankid needs friends closer to her in age.
I have little bios for them under cut.
Dawn and Dusk are tube babies made by some by some eggman wannabe trying to take over the world. They get stopped pretty early on but they still had time to make the girls using Sonic and Shadows dna. Sonic reaction is just 'fuck it man whats 2 more kids' since Mangosteen is already a teen at this point. Shadow had several crises in quick succestion.
Dawn is the kind of person that would do a back flip onto her own head for fun. Most people don't realize that at first since she rarely if ever speaks and she's general quite stoic. She very chipper too. She enjoys beak dancing a lot.
Dusk gets loud whenever she gets excited, which is pretty often. She's very dedicated to practicing her guitar skills and want sto join a band more than anything else.
