#I will always love Chef and Francis don't @ me

[ranticore]

im so curious about the kitchen nightmares au, is félix a waiter? are erica and jean creating crimes against the culinary arts in the back? why is esk of all people gordon ramsay

relevant background info was that when i first got my ipad and was getting to grips with procreate, i was also drafting the first go at mvf so i was drawing mostly refs and character designs, and while i was doing that on an ipad i realised that i could, for the first time ever, watch something on another screen while drawing. guess what i watched

this super old art was one of my first paintings all in procreate and i did it while watching kitchen nightmares. love the show (uk version only), it's absolutely terrible and fake and ramsay sucks but something Compels me

i drew a series of fake interview portraits for all main characters of mvf, as different staff members in a failing restaurant on the show. esk who was kind of the straight man/critical voice of the group ended up being the celebrity chef

anyway the basic plot is they work at a tacky outdated italian trattoria with all that entails, that serves french cuisine, in the year 2005. the restaurant was a money laundering front owned by helena but she was an absentee owner who would deny any claim over the restaurant flaws and be generally away & uncooperative

the restaurant was failing because it looked awful and the food was not good but also because the staff could not work well with one another and the constant arguments that customers would overhear was turning them off

the person who called in gordon ramsnake was the restaurant manager, Félix, in a very roundabout attempt to try to bring heat down on Helena

general overview of the staff & their flaws

Manager (Félix) - actively embezzling from the business, basically a middle manager tyrant trying to control everyone else, ambition of becoming the owner one day (and then they'll ALL see). Would deflect the blame for the restaurant's issues onto every single other person except Francis because he can do no wrong ever. Aw jeez guys we just don't know where the money is going!! Don't look at his meticulously-kept, well-hidden balance books or his incongruously nice car. He looks like the sleaziest businessman you have ever seen.

Head Chef (Jean, you guessed right) - confrontational and rude, could not accept criticism no matter what and would pick fights with customers who sent the food back. He could cook decently but only to his own schedule and preference. The type to go "my food is perfect and nobody can teach me anything" before esk convinces the owner to hire a new head chef who can actually listen to feedback. His prized menu hasn't changed in 7 years.

Front of House (Islin) - zero charm or charisma but otherwise pretty sincere, though it IS weird that an ordained priest is working here and not in a church somewhere. He explains in an interview around the back of the restaurant that he's identified a new route to finding converts because just knocking on people's doors hasn't had a good return. He has zero interest in any aspect of the restaurant experience. Attempts to preach to most of the diners.

Head Waiter (Erica) - he's clearly had no training and is never where he's supposed to be at any given time, and it almost looks like he's ambushing the diners while they're mid-bite on purpose. Calculated bare-minimum work while spending most of his time in the kitchens for some reason. In the course of the episode it's discovered that he makes a decent cook and gets relocated. He had a habit of telling customers that the food was bad even if it wasn't.

Barman (Francis) - eager to please and maybe the only truly friendly face in the restaurant, he's the only reason anyone comes back. But he has an inconvenient habit of giving steep discounts to women, so the bar almost never turns a profit. There have been a few complaints about Barman's inappropriate advances from diners & the fact that his shirt is always a little bit too open. He seems to believe that there's nothing wrong with the place and it's a perfectly legit successful business, so it's hard to get through to him to change his behaviour. Won't hear a word of criticism against Félix or Islin.

Sous-chef (Léá) - hates it here hates every second of every day can't stand anyone wants to be out of there asap but she knows she lacks the experience to actually be a sous-chef in a legitimate restaurant, which means she'd take a pay cut if she tried to find work anywhere else, so she's trapped. She has a habit of throwing parsley garnish far too liberally over every single dish because she read in a book from the 90s that this is how you get a Michelin star

Rival Restaurateur (Senca) - she runs an equally tacky fake unpopular italian trattoria across the street and she's been trying to get Helena's one shut down for years by doing various etsy badluck curses and getting the hygiene inspectors called on them but it hasn't worked yet. She suggested to Félix that maybe trying to get the restaurant on TV would draw enough negative attention to get it shut down (and then he could reopen it of course). She's a bit surprised he actually went and did it even though the show could not have been less flattering towards him and he's essentially turbo-nuked his own reputation into the dirt forever. But she's waiting behind the scenes to make an insultingly-cheap offer and then they'll ALL see

over the course of the episode the above flaws are identified. esk attempts to propose a remodel of the tired décor which is fiercely resisted by Félix because he kind of likes the fake tuscany look but eventually he gives in and the place is given a modern and fresh feel. it draws a crowd on its reopening night but the staff struggle to meet the demand, unused to such numbers, and it ends up with Jean refusing to cook and walking out (he's fired shortly after).

they regroup and organise a charming promo event where they serve real french cuisine in a stall outside (oysters mostly) to draw customers for a new lunchtime service. this is well-received because new Head Chef Léa (now even MORE trapped in a role she has no real claim to) doesn't have to cook the oysters so she can't fuck them up. Félix actually tries to be receptive to the staff he's managing, for once, and he does a good job of supporting them and finally effectively managing the floor.

episode ends with Esk walking away and wondering if it left the restaurant in good hands, concluding that "only time will tell". there's a sequence of the restaurant's one successful lunch service, everyone smiling and working well and diners happy, with the text "RESTAURANT closed its business in August 2005, three months after the filming of this episode".

Esk goes back to interview the owner and ask why it failed, and Helena just explains that she sold it and moved on while dodging every other question. Esk berates her for having no passion for the business, calls her lazy and immature, and she simply walks out of the interview.

9 of my favorite films that I watched for the first time this year!

Thank you to @amrv-5 for tagging me. Kisses.

I have never been one to sit and watch movies. It's annoyed family and friends for as long as I can remember. It's not something I ever set out to do or even think about doing, and when @pomegranate suggested I get Letterboxd, I primarily was going to use it to rate Mike movies and forget about it. Instead, it's helped me watch 34 movies (28 new to me) movies. Picking 9 of my favorites (excluding ones I've seen before, which I think were all Christmas movies), means you get essentially 1/3 of my viewing list. Enjoy.

Memento (2000), dir. Christopher Nolan -- The way this was shot is batshit insane, and I was entranced from the get go. There's nothing I can say that won't spoil the movie. It's one of those you watch it once and your mind gets blown. You watch it a second time to figure out how the fuck you missed so much.

The Mephisto Waltz (1971), dir. Paul Wendkos -- I'm in my lusting over Alan Alda phase, which if I'm being honest, was probably always going to happen someday. This movie did something to my brain. I've been rewired. I was on the dog's side the entire movie.

James Acaster: Hecklers Welcome (2004), dir. Stuart Laws -- I am horribly late to the Acaster party. Shame on me, right? Anyway, if you were ever curious about the type of man that really gets me going - he embodies it. This had me laughing from start to finish, and that's saying something because I'm not usually one to enjoy watching stand-up comedy. I find it funnier when you're in the same room. But this? Chef's kiss.

Will & Harper (2024), dir. Josh Greenbaum -- This year, I have learned a lot. I've learned a lot about people and myself. I wouldn't say I've been "sheltered," per se - but never exposed to a lot and therefore had to fuck up and learn and fuck up some more. This just resonated with me. I can and want to do better.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), dir. Michel Gondry -- I avoided this movie like the plague, because I hate Jim Carrey as a serious actor. I somehow went 20 years not ever having anything spoiled for me, and I'm really glad I didn't. It deserves the decades of hype.

The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), dir. Robert Wise -- I love science fiction, but a very specific type of science fiction. I love the trope of some alien being comes to warn or assist humanity. It's overdone, I know, but it's one of the reasons I adore The Twilight Zone as much as I do - and this movie falls directly into that trope. Even if the idea of some being from outer space coming to attempt to save humanity from itself isn't up your alley, the underlying messages of what humanity should do better still ring true today.

Inside Out 2 (2024), dir. Kelsey Mann -- "I don’t know how to stop anxiety. Maybe we can’t. Maybe this is what happens when you grow up. You feel less joy." These two sentences alone absolutely destroyed me. In a year where everything that could go wrong went wrong, in a year of self-discovery and having to come to terms with things I thought I had tucked safely in a box and locked away, I have felt so much anxiety and little joy - and that's okay. It's always okay.

The Hunger Games: Ballads of Songbirds & Snakes (2023), dir. Francis Lawerence -- Fuck me, I'm predictable. I love this franchise, and I love how downright brutal this movie was. Nothing intelligent to say about it. I'll leave you with my Letterboxd review: "'Now I know the whole world is an arena,' & 'It's the things we love most, that destroy us.' It's a shame this movie didn't come out during the heart of AOL Instant Messenger. Those two lines are perfect away messages."

Requiem for a Dream (2000), dir. Darren Aronofsky -- Just... is Aronofsky okay? I legitimately felt like I needed to check myself into rehab after watching this film, and I don't partake in any drugs. It's got this... early 00's color palette that if you were around during those years you know exactly what I mean. It's beautifully shot, but it will honest to God leave you wondering if you will ever be happy again.

If you want to follow along on my movie viewing in 2025, please feel free to add me on Letterboxd. Tagging anyone who feels like doing this.

(Part 1/4)

Like a lot of us, I've been going through Tom Sturridge's filmography since watching Sandman on Netflix. I've watched a good amount of stuff so far, and I have Thoughts™ . Writing a few lines about him in each of the projects (because apparently this is a Tom Sturridge fan blog now??)

Now, you watch Tom in interviews and he is the DEFINITION of a cinnamon roll, so you would never think this- but this man has been absolutely wildin for over a decade. The projects he chooses? The roles he takes on? Half the time it's as if he's like 'if it's not excruciatingly dramatic, absolutely insane, and/or heart-poundingly, breath-chokingly sexy, don't even bother'. Also something else I think I figured out from watching these and Tom's interviews- it's possible that in his mind, wild/dangerous = seductive. So, anytime he's playing a character of that sort, he turns it on and immediately has intense sexual tension with everyone in sight. It's mind-blowing.

This is what I've watched so far:

Like Minds/Murderous Intent (2006)- Eddie Redmayne's first movie. Tom plays Ed's boarding school classmate, a psycho. He was 20/21 in this, unbelievably pretty, and nailed the 'devil with an angel's face' character to a tee. The chemistry with Ed is, predictably, insane. He says and does some seriously disturbing things in the movie. This was so early in his career too! It's possible that Tom's always been a 'choose the interesting project' person vs 'choose something that might make me a popular sweetheart' person.

Waiting for Forever (2010)- I have to say this first, I legit loved this movie so much. It strikes just the right balance between soulful and real, and the whole effect is incredibly sweet and touching. They don't make movies like this anymore. Tom's character is a very innocent type: naive and clueless to the extent of disturbing, but full of hope and belief. Tom is SO good in this. He plays it a bit slow and spacey, and captures the wide-eyed wonder and confusion of the character perfectly. *chef's kiss*

The Hollow Crown s2 (2012)- This was a series of BBC adaptations of Shakespeare's historical plays based on English kings. Tom was Henry VI, and I was fkn depres*ed for a week after watching this, no lie. Henry VI on screen is spineless, pathetic, and being manipulated left and right by every single person in his vicinity. The politics is nasty, the murders are brutal, and King Henry, 17, doesn't want any of it (but is still too much of a wuss to give up his crown so he clutches on religion instead). Tom, with his young face, long hair, gray cloak and his rosary that he desperately hangs onto, speaking of hope and heartbreak in Shakespearean lingo, just made me feel lots of emotions - terribly angry and frustrated with the king, then sad and horrified for him. It was draining. (The series overall is fantastic tbh.)

On The Road (2012)- Based on Jack Kerouac's novel, this movie is all sorts of nasty- drugs upon drugs, lurid sex, people treating other people terribly. Tom in this is sensitive writer boi in unrequited love with a fuckboy, and his personality is "we can take sexuality out of it, just hold me, man". I pray for the gays who will see this movie now because they won't survive Tom in this. (I mean I'm straight and I barely survived). The messy hair? Thick black-framed glasses? The hurt glances? Manic-pixie smiles? Teary-eyed, swollen-lipped monologue? (Edit: Scene) I'm f*cking deceased. (No kidding tho, I can't take movies that are so on-the-nose seriously and I skipped through it, and still Tom with his limited screen time managed to make me genuinely feel for his character. He was amazing.) Fun fact: The scene of him being bodily carried away for a threesome and proceeding to break the bed (literally) lives rent free in my head. No, I am not all right.

Far From the Madding Crowd (2015)- Adaptation of Thomas Hardy's classic novel. Tom plays Sgt. Francis Troy (opposite Carey Mulligan) and is a regular no-good rake. Listen, you'd think Tom with his sweet mouth and wispy facial hair couldn't pull off a moustache. You'd be wrong. He looks great. And he has that charisma that makes you wanna drive off a cliff for him even though you know he's an asshole. They made his character halfway decent tho, Troy is worse in the book. (EDIT: No they did NOT! I was skipping thru the movie and missed a scene lol. But I've watched the whole thing now and, yeah). And Tom switches vibes from sinister to emotional without missing a beat. What a goddamned treat watching this man is.

I'll stop now, and do the next installment on another 5 Tom projects (I guess Remainder, Mary Shelley, Sweetbitter, Irma Vep, Sea Wall/A Life? We'll see.)

(Edit: Part 2 , Part 3, Part 4, Part 5/ Bonus)

[afrival]

anon that requested rusame here!! they were so so good omg 🤧😭 could I bother you for some fruk hcs too if you don't mind??

OF COURSE I DONT MIND bless 🙌💕 I don’t think you understand how happy it makes me that somebody asked for these

no warnings

•=======================•

- Arthur had a HUGE emo/punk phase in 09, it was like a relapse from the 80s/90s grunge thing. It wasn’t too obnoxious but mans listened to MCR and all that shit, probably put at least one of his ear piercings back in

- Arthur still has piercings from his punk phase but never wears them, only sometimes will he wear earrings. Francis loves when he does

- Francis constantly has his hair in a ponytail and if he’s feeling fancy he’ll braid it, Arthur loves it ofc

- Also. One of Francis’ favorite physical trait abt Arthur is mans face freckles ❤️

- Paramore and Elton John the ONLY artists that Francis and Arthur can listen to and agree is good without arguing

- Speaking of which Arthur can actually sing really well it’s Francis who sounds rough but after like a thousand years he really doesn’t care

- They take baths together a lot bc they’re domestic as shit

- -Arthur watches stupid British shows/movies all the time and even if they’re shit he loves them. (Sherlock, Downton Abbey, The Crown, Harry Potter, The Kingsmen, etc). If there’s any inaccuracies when it comes to history or especially how the royal court works he complains.

- Francis was the one who took Arthur to Harry Potter World in Universal. and Arthur LOOVEEDD it like he geeked out the entire time— a like 1000 year old man flipping his shit over getting to see his favorite book series irl that’s so HDHFHF 💕💕

- One of Francis and Arthur’s main pastimes is watching The Great British Bake-off and getting way too angry at it. They also watch Hell’s Kitchen and Master Chef

- When I think of FrUk I just immediately think old married couple. Like they’re easily one of the softest couples but they also just bully each other and bicker over the dumbest shit

- Arthur gets so embarrassed with pda but he also is like. Down very bad for this man so he secretly loves it— like they’ve been together (off and on) for like centuries and he still blushes when holding hands and cheek kisses or whatever (StillIntoYoubyParamore.mp4)

- Francis uses petname a lot more however “Dear” and “Love” are ones they both use. Ofc Francis uses French terms of endearment like “Beau” and “Cher”

- They sleep on top of each other A LOT lmao like, shoulders and laps whatever. If they’re staying at the others home they will barge in and just flop down on the other and bam it’s nap time

- They take care of each other when they’re sick but it’s mostly just them being like “Eat your fucking soup, whore.” “Arthur it tastes like goddamn soap.” “BE GRATEFUL.”

- They both get hella nightmares bc being that fucking old comes with a lot of history and trauma blah blah, point is they’re always there to comfort each other rather it’s physical or texting/calling at 4am

- Arthur is fluent in French ofc so they kinda switch between French and English whenever

- Arthur cannot hold his fucking liquor so he gets WASTEDDDD and Francis has to babysit him, it’s the funniest shit bc Arthur’s inner child and little shitness just multiples

- They have definitely been with other nations/people but like. It’s always been just them, nobody else compares idc

- They have the exact same sense of humor and can always make each other fucking lose their shit at the absolute worst of times

- Arthur only vents to Francis and Portugal about shit

- They both have playlists that have songs that remind them of each other, and one time Francis threw together a mixtape that he called their “If We Could Get Married Mixtape”

- They’re both fucking ass at being parental figures (obviously😐)

- Francis cuts Arthur’s hair. Like he is the only person that Arthur sorta trusts to make him look hot

- Francis says I love you outloud more than Arthur but like mf shows it in different ways like acts of services and gifts and whatever. He’s just terrible with words

- They’ve probably seen each other die a lot SHHFJFJFKT, it never really hurt them on a deep level until the 1900s. That’s when their relationship started improving a lot and the like centuries of “””hatred””” began to fade

- They are and have been best friends for CENTURIES, so they’re mega fucking close. When they were like. Enemies and shit it was a whole thing of like “I despise everything about you but I would do literally anything for you to be happy, and I don’t know why”

I’m gonna make a part 2 for them when I can find more of ones I’ve made bc— I love them sm. I love PortEng too but FrUk...my beloved

🏹🏹Hawkeye Ep. 4 Questions & Reviews🏹🏹 (Spoilers! Duh!)

1. Jack thanking Clint for saving the world and then Clint saying, "Don't mention it." has the same energy as Sam telling Bucky he's not going with him to check out the convoy with the Smashers.

2. "Being good isn't always enough to keep you alive." Okay. First off, that's profound. But in a much more real sense, Eleanor needs to back off.

3. Listen, I know that we only got to see Eleanor interact with Kate's real dad for like one scene, but is it weird to anyone else that she seems to be more in love with Jack than she was with Kate's dad? No? Just me? Okay.

3. The more they put Clint's family in, the more I despise Joss Whedon for creating them. Listen, it's cute, I guess. But seriously, your going give him a family, then years later tell us Laura speaks several different languages?? Okay.

4. That's the Clint Barton I've been waiting for. The Clint Barton that put Daily's slushies for his aching muscles.

5. Kate is a hero. Can't change my mind.

6. What's Kate gonna do when she has to take the tree down?

7. Boomerang arrows.

8. Kate making Clint where grumpy cat sweater, *chef's kiss.*

9. Clint has adopted Kate. You can't change my mind.

10. The coin trick.

11. Is it just me or does Clint seem much happier being around Kate then he does with his own kids?

12. Clint fell in love with Nat. He did. You can't change my mind.

13. The Rolex. Clint said it belonged to a friend of his that's still in the game. Which means it's not Tony's. Is it Scott's? Rhodey? Sam? Bucky? Thor's? Pepper's? Strange's? Wanda's? I need to know!

14. Clint treating people. Adorable.

15. LARPer's. All of them.

16. "That's not fair, that your inability to act like a grown-up helps you get your way." That's golden coming from you Clint Francis Barton. Those are definitely somebody elses words. Fury's, Nat's, Coulsons. Just somebody That's not you.

17. Yelena!!

18. The rooftop fight scene.

19. Okay. So, did Eleanor send Yelena or did Madame HYDRA send her? I need answers.

20. They're partners whether or not Clint wants to be.

red dead asks

questions to ask your rdr mutuals n favorite blogs, or to answer and fill out n post on your own (i’m going to!)

1. who do you think is a misunderstood or underrated character in the red dead series- why?

uncle for sure, I made a post about this already... Also, Jack, Abi, and John- all three of the Marstons are incredibly misunderstood. As for underrated, I think people do not talk about Tilly much at all but I think she is great.

2. what is your favorite TOWN or SETTLEMENT, and why? think of not only how pretty the town may be but the available amenities ie saloon, doctor, general, table games..

I love Saint Denis, truly, in every way. Just wish I could traverse it a bit faster. I love the dichotomies between rich and poor: the two saloons, the slums vs the mansions on main street... Chefs kiss.

3. ^ and what is your favorite state or region? Mexico areas from RDR1/Undead count…

Lemoyne is the best state because it has the prettiest locations to me, but I love Roanoke Ridge region too as it reminds me of my home state which it was clearly inspired by (Missouri).

4. which Stranger mission is your favorite? is your favorite Stranger in your favorite Stranger mission? (for example, one might love Charles Chatenay but thoroughly enjoy the Dragic missions more)

Albert Mason is my favorite Stranger, but I also love Chatenay and Francis Sinclair, too. The best missions are the Dragic missions though as they are thought provoking and unique, unexpected, etc. Legendary fish mission is cool too but just because the guy is funny and the fish are fun to catch.

5. favorite quote from the series?

"If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging."

6. what is your favorite non-story activity? hunting, fishing, herb gathering, greeting and watching people, sightseeing, swimming/boating…?

Sightseeing, watching people, and fishing. 🥰

7. why do you love red dead and what would you say you have legitimately learned from the series and will use in your life?

It makes me think and makes me feel. It makes me want to create (virtual photography and writing) and it has made me some pretty cool friends. It has taught me lessons about what makes somebody good or bad and how quickly someone can be perceived as either.

8. favorite time of day in game? favorite weather?

Sunrise/sunset. Best weather is right after it rains.

9. who is the most evil? cornwall, ross/milton/pinkertons, dutch/bill (rdr1), colm/other gangs, or micah/his men? who do you hate the most? do you empathize with or understand any of them?

They're all evil. They all represent evil. Greed, corruption, arrogance, unneeded violence... I hate Ross the most because of what he did to the Marstons and I hate corrupt cops more than most things in this world, tbh. But I think  Cornwall is the most evil as he has the most power (money = everything, always) and is willing to use it.

10. least favorite mission or companion activity, why?

I find the stagecoach robberies boring, or whatever, I just don't like them

11. which activities, historical callbacks, etc would you have liked to have seen in the game that aren’t?

Edgar Allan Poe/mystery crime stories... Gold panning as a playable activity. Decorating camp more/decorating Beechers Hope. Petting cats!

12. does your favorite character die? do you think that their death is important and necessary for the story, or does it take away from the character for you?

Many of my favorites die but my main favorite, Jack, does not die in canon. I find that the deaths in the series are all fundamental and while incredibly sad, make the story what it is.

13. favorite legendary animal?

probably the Badger, is cute

14. favorite outfit: including trapper outfits?

every trapper outfit that looks like a bounty hunter outfit, or any outfit I can make piratey

15. least favorite/most unused weapon?

I don't really use my repeaters much unless the game makes me or for some hunting

16. which rdr mystery still plagues your mind? do you think it will ever be solved? what do you believe?

Strange Man- nothing really to solve though, he's just strange...

17. how do you allow for immersion within your own playstyle, or do you? (ie not doing certain things you don’t think Arthur would do, adhering to a certain level of realistic play [no fast travel, etc])

I don't go to Saint Denis until the story has you do it, I love the feeling of Arthur seeing the city for the first time? I also am a huge honor snob and if I lose honor either through a purposeful action or an accident, I try so hard to get it back lol. I also don't like antagonizing camp members except for Micah or Strauss, occasionally Dutch.

18. if you are currently or want to create art (written, drawn, etc) about or inspired by rdr, please tell us about it.. share it!

I'm working on a couple of fics... idk. I also have many virtual photography projects planned/that I want to work on

19. which gang is the scariest? most evil? most fun to dispose of?

Skinners are terrifying, Murfees are screwed up... I enjoy disposing of O'Driscolls and ESPECIALLY Lemoyne Raiders and Laramies.

20. favorite filter to use in photomode?

Twin Pass probably

21. favorite campfire song?

Poor Lonesome Cowboy

22. does honor matter to you? favorite way to either get more or to lose honor?

YES... I'm a huge high honor snob.. I'll throw back a bunch of fish or stroll through town and greet everybody. Donate to camp in cents...

23. would you eat any of the food in rdr2 saloons? which item on which menu looks the best to you?

oh yes. The prairie chicken or whatever at Blackwater saloon? YUM

24. which gang member’s horse do you wish to have yourself?

TRELAWNY'S!!! Or Sean's, Charles', or Old Boy (John's before Epilogue)

25. favorite hat you can find, create (trapper) or steal (NOT purchase).. including trapper hat ornaments..?

Tricorn hat. I also like the hat ornaments, or miner's hat

26. how many playthroughs have you had of rdr2?

I'm on my third, I completed 100% on my second

27. ^ did you ever play rdr1? how does that experience change the rdr2 experience, if at all?

Yes, I played it once after completing 100% in RDR2 as a reward to myself lol. It was great and playing the second game before the first was a totally unique experience. Knowing what I knew about the story before changed it all.

28. best rdr fanfiction you’ve read?

This great Albert and Arthur one on ao3, if you want it send me a message!

29. who is your favorite rdr blogger?

I hate that I put this question because I don't want to answer ahahaha I really love @foundynnel because they post super cool picture sets

30. what is something random you’ve been wanting to say but haven’t? a theory maybe, a comment on your favorite/least favorite ship.. let’s hear it.. hehe

Dutch and anybody is not a good ship. Nobody deserves to deal with his ass. Hosea and him definitely had/have a thing but I still don't ship it- does that make sense? I don't want them together, Dutch hurts Hosea... :( But people who ship Dutch and Mary Beth 🤢

[hetaliawhatifs]

I was wondering if any of the countries (1p or 2p) have part-time jobs or something? For instance, 2p Canada likes to do wood carvings so does he sell them or is it more for fun? Just curious because I can imagine that it gets pretty boring if they don't have meetings or anything planned ahead of time. ((You guys are awesome and your post make me really happy!!!!!

Awww thank you! That is so sweet! You are awesome too! All of you are! We hope you enjoy this then! -AdminsSo we will do this post for the 1p Countries with part time jobs!

America: Volunteer at animal sheltersAlfred, when he isn’t in meetings, would always be at the animal shelters volunteering as much as he could. Sometimes he would even skip meetings to volunteer instead. He would love to focus on rehabilitating tough cases, since he can’t get hurt by them, but also because he knows the toughest cases need the most love and a good home. 

England: LibrarianArthur would love to just hide away in a library and work part time. While other countries may find that to be tedious or boring, Arthur would find it fascinating. He could connect with his people in an environment where he feels comfortable, not to mention he knows the joy someone feels when they find that perfect book. Arthur would also love the quiet atmosphere since it would be the perfect place to have him unwind, especially after stressful meetings. 

France: FloristFrancis would love to be a part time florist, since flowers are just as beautiful as he is, not to mention he loves to talk to people. Especially, if he can help them find the flowers that are just right for that special occasion. He would know flower language like the back of his hand and would love to help people find l’amour.

Canada: Snow-PlowererMatthew would actually love to plow snow for people, whether it be the busy working people who don’t need the extra stress or the kind old lady down the street. He would plow snow for anyone and everyone, just to start everyone’s day off with a little bit of kindness. 

Russia: GardenerIvan loves sunflowers, this is a true fact, but he also enjoys all other types of flora. He would love to just have a small garden on the side, as a way for him to wind down after meetings or when someone in particular gets on his nerves. He would also offer to give people things from his garden, whether it be flowers to brighten someones day or vegetables to help a family in need. 

China: ChefNo surprise here, but Yao would use any free time he had to cook. Though he wouldn’t be cooking for himself, he would bounce around his country and make large soups and dinners for those down on their luck. He would love to see the smiles on their faces that only comes with a warm and good meal in the stomach. Yao would always use the best ingredients to make food so that everyone can experience gourmet food, and not have to pay the price for it.

"I cried that night. I cried alot. After they left, i walked less than 100 steps to our building. Almost went to their apartment, only to realise i don't have the key anymore. Came back to mine. It was empty. Well, not really empty. I had chick jr and duck jr with me. The fooseball table is gone. The worst, i switched on the tv and there was free porn, again. I looked on my left to high five Chandler, but he was gone. I went to his room, i kind of missed him. He left me money. I always knew he had me covered. Whatever happened, he was there. He is my best friend. He made me laugh when i was low. He made us all laugh, actually. I miss him when i am laughing. The day he decided to move in with Monica, I wanted to stop him. He could have just stayed here, with her. Or whatever. But i am happy for him. He is a dad now. Who could have imagined, him being a dad. But I am sure Monica is going to be there. She is going to make him learn how to be a good father. She has fed me for more than 10 years. Her apartment was home to me. Mine was just another place to sleep. She is the best chef I have ever met. I am going to miss her turkey. She used to make the best turkey. She left me lasagna. Oh boy! And when she broke that fooseball table wide open, I was scared. She is one strong woman. I loved Jack and Erica. They are so cute. Erica smiled at me when I asked, "how you doin'?" I am so happy for them. But Ross, he was the happiest. I have never seen him happier. Rachel got off the plane. And he felt like he found some dinosaur from some years ago. Ross, told me that he'll take Monica's apartment. I thought there will be friends next door. But I don't know how long is that going to be. Rachel, I am proud of her, you know. She made it big. Are you serious? She got Ralph Lauren shirts, no one knows about them. I fell in love with her, and trust me I could not have been more scared. There was Ross. And then, she was pregnant. It is all I'm the past. Gone. And I am going to give away Hugsy. To Emma. She will love it. Ben and I still talk about the time we left him on a bus. He still laughs at it. I miss seeing him. Phoebe, you know, it was one of the happiest moments of my life, when I gave Phoebe away at the wedding. Mike seems like a solid guy. We have had our talk. He'd never hurt Phoebe. She was the most honest one. Loved her French lessons, still curses me for not learning any French. Or for that matter, guitar.

A lot has changed since that night. We to Monica's and Chandler's, every weekend. I sleep there, sometimes. We still play poker. Phoebe still gives an odd joker away because she thinks he's sad. Monica and Chandler are proud parents. Ross and Rachel are still deciding on when to get married. And me, I am still auditioning. After all, I was Dr. Drake Ramoray on DOOLS."
