"Again!" Natasha barks down at your lackadaisical form, standing in wait with an extended hand as if this was nothing to her, because really it was, sparring with you was light work for the diet super soldier.

"But Natty..."

"But Natty nothing! We're going until you officially pin me down."

"That's my sisters job..."

Natasha lightly shoves you by your shoulder, but smirks anyways at the cheeky innuendo.

"Miss Maximoff, you've received an email from a sketchy source, would you like me to project it onto the wall?"

"Yes please, thanks Fri."

"Oh no, I'm crushed..." Natasha teases right back with her back to you as she packed her gym bag up, completely failing to see the way that your body had tensed, or the horrendous images that were plastered on the gyms walls.

There sat Kate—your precious wife, tied to a chair in the center of a barely lit room, her head was lolling against her left shoulder, and it was a truly sickening sight. The side of her face that was visible to you was nearly unrecognizable with all the varying shades of blues, reds and purples. Her entire right side from her face to her arms was adorned with gruesome marks. Once your eyes trailed down to see the pool of blood beneath the chair you could no longer stomach to see her like this.

"Oh my god, I think I'm going to be sick." You gasp, trembling hands clutching at your mouth and abdomen as the nausea immediately sets in, the only distraction comes in the form of Yelena's disheveled, and clearly battered form.

"It was a trap! They ambushed us, and Kate Bishop's been compromised!"

—

The entire team had squeezed there way into the briefing room once you'd sent off for an emergency meeting. Natasha relaying to them what's become of your wife since it was clear you'd been in no state to do it yourself.

"Look, we all care about Kate here, but we can't just go running off without a plan."

"Like hell we can't!" You seethe, hands quick to slam against the table, and without exactly meaning to you bent the metal all out of shape, creating quite the hazard for anyone near.

The entirety of the team flinches at the grating sound of metal being crushed, shifting back to narrowly avoid being impaled by the jagged pieces of metal, and you bite back a chuckle at the newfound fear in many of their eyes.

"You're far too reckless; not even permitted to be out on missions yet Y/N, so why don't you just sit back down, and let us handle this." Steve commands, sure in his false authority over you, his eyebrows quirked as he's met with your petulant laughter over your hopeful obedience.

Your eyes lit up and your hands soon followed at his smug dismissal, and your older sister was horrified as you seemed to be on the brink of losing control, and it seemed you enjoyed it. Seeing you so distraught, and to be honest terrifying had her wondering if her and Pietro had made the wrong decision in joining Hydra with you in tow all those years ago.

"Well how about you take your shield and shove it up your tight ass, Captain Dipshit, I'm going to save my fucking wife with or without the Avengers, don't think to get in my way."

Once Steve sees your hands rise he pointlessly lifts his shield up as a defense, but it does little to protect himself from the bright blue blast, quite the contrary actually as you seamlessly crack through the sturdy piece of vibranium, and subsequently throw him across the room.

"Welp, this seems handled, good luck kid." Tony quips as he stares in fearful amusement at the folded over super soldier in the corner of the room, then with a sly wink he tosses you the keys to the only jet that Shield has no access to, squeezing your shoulder as he brushes by you.

Wanda and you make brief eye contact, then after the silent discussion you turn around to leave the room with no more conversations left to have since everyone else in the room either supported you, or were far too terrified to say much to the otherwise.

"You had it coming." Yelena quips before she's swiftly following you out of the room and off to wherever it is you were headed.

—

Hydra had a fun time with you when you were apart of their testing phases, whereas your siblings phases were far more controlled yours were just a shit ton of experiments that sort of left you a basket case of powers, hence the persistent lack of mission clearance from Steve. So it's no surprise to Yelena when she finds you in the weapons room collecting every scrap of metal possible like a madman.

"What's the plan then Y/N Maximoff?" Yelena asks, shakily jumping onto the stool besides you with her best attempt at a smile through the pain, which falls flat as you truly see the damage they laid upon your bestfriend, making you that much angrier.

"Simple. I go save Kate, you stay here."

"Absolutely not!"

"You've been hurt Lena, I'm not risking your safety, plus—this might get even too graphic for you..."

"You're not going in there alone." She argues with her arms crossed over her chest, you look up momentarily to see the unnecessary fear in her eyes, and it honestly touches you to see how deep her concern for you runs.

"I know, Wanda and Natasha will follow, but only as potential backup though, something tells me I won't be needing anyone's help."

"Y/N/N... I'm fine, let me go..." She whines pitifully, much like a child, and you're realizing that fighting with the brick wall that is Belova is pointless and will cost you if you continue.

"Fine, but you stay on the jet, and that's final."

"This is why Wanda's my favorite..."

You pay her obvious lie no mind, fully aware that she hates being benched because it comes off as a sign of weakness, and no one's meant to see her as anything but capable. This is just her anger controlling her, but you can't miss this opportunity to tease right back amidst all the tension.

"Good to know, because it just so happens that Natasha's always been mine."

"How dare you tell lies to your bestfriend!!!" She gasps, and you roll your eyes at her sudden change in demeanor.

You just continue off towards the jet, ignoring her listings for why your words were clearly a lie, she continues to drone on even when you're working on starting up the jet.

"What the hell is she going on about?" Natasha groans as she moves to take over working on the control panels, and you watch as she immediately throws the headset over her ears to drown her sister out.

"Nice try, but there's no leaving without us." Wanda's voice suddenly cuts in, and you turn to face your sister with a guilty smile.

"You said they'd follow."

"Yes, because I was going to leave without them, and that honestly would've worked out had you not slowed me down."

"Yes, thanks for that Lena." Wanda teases while taking a seat beside her fiancé.

"Anything for my favorite Maximoff." She sweetly replies, while fixing her glare upon you, Wanda snorts at the clear lie, and Yelena gasps once she see your middle finger as a response.

Once you hear the sounds of boots hitting the pavement everyone's quick to shut up, and instead work together to get the jet off the ground before Steve and Bucky would attempt to use their strength to keep you guys grounded as Bruce would no doubt attempt to disarm the jet since Tony's unwilling to help.

—

"Now, here's the plan." Wanda starts while standing before you, arm wrapping around her lovers waist for support since the jet's currently on autopilot, but she gets absolutely nowhere as you cut her off.

"Wanda, I love you, but you and I already know the plan, we discussed it at the table."

"No, you told me what you wanted to do, and I said 'we'll discuss it further on the jet.'" She chastises you as if you're still a child, her stance frighteningly similar to that of your late mothers; you shiver at the memories of yours and Pietro's past adventures riddled with mischief, and your heart aches at the reminder of all that you've already lost.

"It's simple math Wands, they hurt Kate, I annihilate them."

Yelena snickers, but is quick to fix her face when Wanda zaps her with a red tendril.

"You're not thinking clearly here, this is Hydra and you are their most volatile weapon to date. There's a reason they kept Kate, and let Lena go, please just think about this more clearly!" She desperately shouts, pleading for you to not be reckless in your methods for once.

"My mind is clear my dearest sestra, I'm not the unhinged basket case Steve has convinced all of you that I am. I will handle those Hydra agents with class and diplomacy.

Yelena and Natasha smirk at your play on words, both of them knowing damn well that you're about to go batshit crazy, and neither of them are in opposition of it either.

"Oh yeah, and how do you plan to do that" Wanda's obvious frustration seeps through the question, face falling as yours does quite the opposite.

"I'll do them an overdue service as I paint those hideous off white walls with their blood, all the while delicately stacking their bodies atop of each other to make a pathway to my beloved and praying they have safe passage to Hell."

"Can you take this seriously Y/N?" Wanda shouts in utter exasperation, her hands naturally illuminating in red as her emotions overwhelm her.

"I can assure you Wanda, I'm taking this very seriously! That's my fucking wife they took, if they wanted to live they should've made better choices. Don't stand here and act like if it was Natasha you wouldn't be just as furious as me. I'd be right there on your side at the ready too!" You shout, coming toe to toe with your slightly shorter sister, watching as her jaw clenches, and her fingers ball up into tight fists.

"Exactly my point, you'd be there to help me."

"No, I said at your side, because just like you wouldn't with me, I'm not forcing you into direct danger because of a battle that is mine. Trust me please, I am more than ready, and I'll come back to you in one piece."

"You're my baby sister, and I just worry this is all too much for you... I can't lose anyone else."

"Neither can I Wands..."

She nods in understanding, and with only a minute to touchdown left you pull her into your strong hold, lightly swaying her around, and humming along to the tune of a Sokovian childhood classic.

"I'm hacking into their cameras now Y/N/N, if anything goes awry Wanda and I will be there." Natasha interrupts the sweet moment as the jet touches ground.

"Deal..." You agree, squeezing your sister a final time before pulling back with a brave smile to offer her reassurance.

Incognito mode was activated once you landed a few hundred paces to the left of the building. Hydra agents were sparse, the ten outside met their maker in quick succession, telling you they wanted to trick you into a false sense of safety. Their shortcomings rather obvious since they overlooked your long list of powers, like the one that currently leaves you aware of the near to a hundred of them filling the three floors.

Their varying heartbeats widely scattered, but at least twenty of them reside just beyond the door you're stood before, and the one heartbeat that matters to you most sounds far too weak, so without a second thought you kick the door down. Bullets of all sorts come flying at you in quick succession, wide smiles decorating the faces of the many ill informed Hydra soldiers.

"Oh come on guys... This is just far too easy." You manage to say over your maniacal cackling, their terrified faces, and rapidly beating hearts beyond satisfactory when the last thing they see is the bullets frozen in midair turning right back on them.

With an accomplished look on your face you step over the limp bodies with ease, winking playfully to your family as you spot the camera in the corner, and only imagining their faces.

"Thirty down in less than ten seconds.. That's got to be a new record for her." Yelena proudly mumbles while the two older women beside her are frozen in place, sat in front of Natasha's laptop with their mouths agape at the absolute carnage left in your path.

The next floor you ascend to is just as full, but this one isn't full of soldiers and their toy guns, it's instead full of burly men with their fists up. The first five to charge at you wind up on their knees, your eyes shining a crimson hue as you hold them with powers much like your sisters, then just as quickly they slump forward as their necks snap.

Another ten do their best to bum rush you, but you're much quicker, phasing out of your place to allow them a chance to share a final embrace before your eyes shine bright blue and they fall into one collective heap, the once shiny daggers from your pockets now plunged through their hearts, the hilts sticking out of their back.

"Come on, this is getting pathetic!"

Your cocky remark is met with a quick response, five men arise from the shadows, each one landing a rather proper blow to you, briefly disorienting you, and your panicked sister was already headed for the jet's exit at the sight of your state.

"Detka, wait!! She's trained with me, she's more than capable of handling a punch." Natasha offendedly remarks, eyes expectantly awaiting your comeback sequence.

As expected you make a quick comeback, the shocking truth being revealed, you were simply astral projecting, and their upper hand was a purposeful ruse to bring forth the remaining soldiers from the eery shadows they were hid. The women on the jet watched on in prideful awe as your smirking projected form winked at the overly cocky men before evaporating, many knocking heads after lunging for you, and completely unprepared for what you'd do next.

Sat atop a pillar in the corner of the room you looked at the fifteen men stood in the center all wearing stupid expressions as dumb as them. With the flick of a wrist they were overtaken by their worst nightmares, all stood there with tendrils of red swimming around their wide eyes, all screaming like the weaklings you'd always knew them to be.

While they were all distracted you summoned the guns of the already dead soldiers, each one floating in and stopping before the men frozen in place. Upon escaping your mind games each one would fall to the floor, a bullet straight through the skull, fulfilling your earlier promises of splattering the walls with their blood, and for good measure you'd added brain matter into the mix completely free of charge.

"Not gonna lie, but unhinged Y/N is kinda hot, do you think Kate would be willing to share?" Yelena unashamedly asks the women to her sides, receiving a harsh death glare from your sister, and a nudge from her own.

"What? I'm just saying... Girl could get it!" Yelena continues, jumping up before anything else could be done to her in retaliation.

Though you are absolutely killing it, it's also the case that you're feeling a bit spent after remaining dormant for months on end with these powers of yours. As per Steve's orders most of your recent training has been purely focused on combat, and your powers were only ever practiced in the dead of night at the cabin you share with your wife whenever you couldn't sleep.

The next set of stairs you take is used for the much needed breather, but then you hear the love of your absolute life's heart race increase, fear grips you as you recklessly enter the next room, and are faced with roughly fifty soldiers.

"Let's fucking go!" You growl, and they all charge at you with gadgets of torture in hand.

You're able to use your powers to throw half of them against a wall, successfully immobilizing them by way of snapping their spines in half. With Natasha's training you start to zig zag around the room, never letting them anticipate where you'll be stood next, and while doing so your never ending collection of daggers were taking them out in droves until you were down to three left.

With a sudden adrenaline rush you run full speed at the women, hoisting yourself up by the use of her bent knee you make quick work to wrap your legs around her neck, and flip her to the ground, a sickening crunch following.

"I taught her that!" Natasha giddily screeches, bouncing in her seat as if her child had just scored the winning goal for their team, and Wanda rubs her temples in search of relief from the crazy that surrounds her.

“What next? Is she going to become a poser just like you too?” Yelena groans while shoveling a granola bar into her mouth, shrugging when the women look to her in confusion.

“I was hungry, this is suspenseful!” She defends, settling back in between them to see what she’s calling your grand finale.

The remaining men look at you, each in a corner of their own, and silently discussing with their eyes a plan you audibly hear in your mind. Goon number one will charge at you, and in your busied state goon number two will attach a power dampening collar around you. As their full proof plan unfolds you make light work of goon number two, using his cobalt hip replacement as a means to knock him down.

Goon number one however does get you to the ground, hands pummeling into your body as he loses track of his initial mission, and you hear his pained thoughts about his girlfriend you'd just killed with the use of your thighs.

"If it's any consolation, she seemed much happier between my legs then she did in her final thoughts of you." You splutter out over the blood pooling in your mouth, enjoying the way his face contorts in total offense.

He goes to throw another punch at your face, but you no longer wish to waste anymore time, so you catch his fist then with a simple flick of your wrist he's flying through the window to free fall onto the awaiting pavement.

"Fucking idiots, all of you..." You grumble as you grab a cloth to wipe your face of your blood, and then in a matter of moments you fly your way down the three flights of stairs until you reach the door to the basement

A high pitched scream is met with your fast feet hitting the cold concrete flooring of the building. Every metal door is ripped from its hinges so that you waste no time finding the right room, which turns out to be the final one.

"Well, well, if it isn't—."

Baron Von Strucker quite literally loses his tongue, your final dagger having sliced right through it as he attempted to speak. He fell to the floor like the pathetic bitch that he was, you swiftly lifted the man by the hair on his head, picking your bloodied dagger up you place it against his throat, smiling wickedly before telling him off.

"I'm the monster you always wanted, but you'll never have me, because I no longer cower to weak men such as yourself. So simple minded that you have to hide behind armies of equally as pitiful men and women, and use innocent children as your pawns in the game for power. Look at you, couldn’t even finish up a thought before I had you broken down on your knees."

His eyes widen when your blade digs into the side of his throat, mouth blabbering nonsense which only makes a bloody mess of his chin, he pointlessly squirms in your hold, and you allow him this final moment of pleading. Honestly, it thrills you to know you hold his very life in the palm of your hands, and with thoughts of your fallen brother, and beaten girlfriend you lean in close to hold steady eye contact.

"Good luck in hell, I heard Satan doesn't exactly believe in lube, but I'm sure the prongs will go in smoothly for you though..."

The blade slashes over his throat with perfect precision, his warm blood soaking your hand, you wipe the disgusting remnants off onto his combat suit, then carelessly throw his body to the ground, and leave him to bleed out.

"Y/N?"

Kate's unnaturally harsh voice shatters your heart, then the sight of her nearly brings your spent form to your knees, but you can't rest until she's out of here, and safely on the jet.

"Oh, krasivaya, what have they done to you?" You whimper, hands making quick work of her restraints, body catching her own as hers gives out immediately.

"I knew you'd come for me..." She whispers, her adrenaline clearly fading upon being in your safe embrace, and as much as that warms your heart it also terrifies the shit out of you.

"Kate, baby, stay awake..."

"Mm ok.. Just gonna take a nap..."

With a final burst of energy you take off in a sprint, your overworked legs burning the absolute last thing on your mind when your wife is so obviously barely clinging to life in your arms. When you make it out you approach the jet, door opening as you near, but just as you make it to the jet you feel a sharp pain in your right shoulder that causes you to tumble.

Wanda catches you midfall, using her powers to yank you and your wife onto the jet. Natasha jumping to stand behind her aims her pistol out and shoots the nearly dead agent through the heart, and Yelena lifts the jet up into the air before the doors are even shut.

Natasha gets straight to work on Kate, though most of what Kate needs will be received back in the med-bay, and Wanda's attention falls to your rough form bleeding out on the floor.

"Y/N, let me see your shoulder."

"No! Kate's worse off, take care of her..."

"Natasha's working on her as we speak, Y/N/N, just let me pull the bullet out and stuff the wound..."

Your protests die on your tongue when you manage to open your eyes and are met with the glossy orbs of your sister staring down at you. The obvious fear in her eyes enough to make you set your pride aside, weakly you nod, and she drops beside you to do just that.

"I'm sorry..."

"Don't be, you're still in one piece." Wanda soothes you, placing a gentle kiss to your forehead as your body gives in to the overt exhaustion, and she pulls your slumped form into her lap, arms protectively holding you.

—

Kate's eyes flutter open, eyes tracing the dimly lit room, but this time her heart is at peace. She's safe, and if her memory isn't playing tricks on her she's got you to thank for it. Slowly, and painfully, she shifts her face to get a better look at the space around her, her eyes settle upon the charming blonde Russian, noting the stitches on her eyebrow.

"Kate Bishop-Maximoff, welcome back..." Yelena whispers, afraid to wake you up because Wanda would kill her for doing so.

"Are you okay? Where's Y/N?" Kate begins to rapid question the blonde in a panic.

Yelena grabs her neurotic friends hand, then tilts her head to gesture beyond her bed, and once again Kate painfully turns her head, and she's unhappily met with your slumped, and battered form. Harsh bruises litter the entirety of your exposed abdomen, there's a gauze wrap around your shoulder, and your face seems to only rival your abdomen in most markings.

"Wh-what happened to her?"

"Kate Bishop, don't be stupid. She fought the bad guys, and trust me—she won."

"But did she have help? Why were they able to hurt her so badly...?"

"She refused help, she went rogue actually. Attacked Steve—it was so cool, she 'stole' a jet, absolutely obliterated the hydra agents—it was very hot. Then as she was running to the jet a lingering agent shot her, so Natasha shot them. She was completely unhinged Kate, it was insanely hot, I just felt that needed to be reiterated."

Kate's face contorts in anger when Yelena calls you hot, but it quickly settles when she realizes just how true the statement is. Even now, well especially now, covered in markings from the beatings you took for her—you're fucking hot. Can’t fault her for telling the truth…

"Where's Wanda and Nat?" Kate asks, knowing that you are truly their collective pride and joy, and they’d most likely be at your bedside.

"Fighting with Steve, who's mad that Fury found this whole thing funny, he even went over the soldier and cleared Y/N to go on missions. We’ll never lose again, she’s a total smoke show, wiping the floor with those idiots. I knew she would be too, the dinosaur was just being a petty freak since Wanda ‘stole’ Natasha from him, even though she’s a total lesbian.”

Yelena continued to ramble on about everything the archer missed while being tied up and tortured for twelve hours, and she had to admit it was a pretty impressive list. The elaborate descriptions of how you’d massacred the Hydra agents had her feeling all sorts of things, mostly pure thoughts though, because she didn’t want to get herself all worked up when neither of you’d be able to handle it in your rough conditions.

After about an hour the blonde was called away, and it was then that you climbed out of your bed, and made your way over to the side of your wife’s with the cutest pout she’d ever seen, your practiced puppy dog eyes honestly enough to beat out Lucky for the last slice of pizza if it ever came down to it.

“Baby, why are you up? You shouldn’t be moving around right—.” Kate immediately tried to scold you, but you softly press your lips to hers, careful of her bruised cheeks, and successful in your ploy to shut her up.

“You both talk too much…”

“I’m serious though, you’re hurt…”

“Kate, It hurts more being away from you…” You tiredly whine, in that childlike way that only she has the fortune of seeing, and she practically melts at the sight of your pout.

“I’m sorry baby, how about you climb in then, there’s plenty of room..”

You wasted no time climbing into her bed, lying on your uninjured side, and throwing your leg over her casted one as you got settled.

“I love you Y/N Bishop-Maximoff…”

“I love you too Kate Bishop-Maximoff.”

Is this vampire au a twilight au are we gonna get werewolf Dorset fighting for Kate’s love is Kate gonna turn into a vampire to be with Anthony pls make it more than a one shot

It’s not a Twilight AU exactly. I like to imagine it’d be a bit better written than that

And I think the differences are mostly in the Vampire lore I’m creating for this world.

These are just off the top of my head

There are two ways to become a vampire: born and made. If you’re born a vampire, you grow until you reach adulthood then stop. You could survive on either human food or vampire diet. If you’re made, someone must bite you, then you have to drink a small amount of your maker’s blood. Vampire children can only exist between two vampires.

These vampires cannot go out in the daylight. And they don’t sleep. They need to feed every few days and they can eat human food but past maturity it satisfies nothing.

And finally, Vampires choose mates and mark them. Blood shared between mates passes memories and emotions which strengthens the connection between bonded pairs.

A Brief History of Peanut Butter

The bizarre sanitarium staple that became a spreadable obsession

By Kate Wheeling | February 2021 Smithsonian Magazine

North Americans weren't the first to grind peanuts—the Inca beat us to it by a few hundred years—but peanut butter reappeared in the modern world because of an American, the doctor, nutritionist and cereal pioneer John Harvey Kellogg, who filed a patent for a proto-peanut butter in 1895. Kellogg’s “food compound” involved boiling nuts and grinding them into an easily digestible paste for patients at the Battle Creek Sanitarium, a spa for all kinds of ailments. The original patent didn’t specify what type of nut to use, and Kellogg experimented with almonds as well as peanuts, which had the virtue of being cheaper. While modern peanut butter enthusiasts would likely find Kellogg’s compound bland, Kellogg called it “the most delicious nut butter you ever tasted in your life.”

A Seventh-Day Adventist, Kellogg endorsed a plant-based diet and promoted peanut butter as a healthy alternative to meat, which he saw as a digestive irritant and, worse, a sinful sexual stimulant. His efforts and his elite clientele, which included Amelia Earhart, Sojourner Truth and Henry Ford, helped establish peanut butter as a delicacy. As early as 1896, Good Housekeeping encouraged women to make their own with a meat grinder, and suggested pairing the spread with bread. “The active brains of American inventors have found new economic uses for the peanut,” the Chicago Tribune rhapsodized in July 1897.

Before the end of the century, Joseph Lambert, an employee at Kellogg’s sanitarium who may have been the first person to make the doctor’s peanut butter, had invented machinery to roast and grind peanuts on a larger scale. He launched the Lambert Food Company, selling nut butter and the mills to make it, seeding countless other peanut butter businesses. As manufacturing scaled up, prices came down. A 1908 ad for the Delaware-based Loeber’s peanut butter—since discontinued—claimed that just 10 cents’ worth of peanuts contained six times the energy of a porterhouse steak. Technological innovations would continue to transform the product into a staple, something Yanks couldn’t do without and many a foreigner considered appalling.

By World War I, U.S. consumers—whether convinced by Kellogg’s nutty nutrition advice or not—turned to peanuts as a result of meat rationing. Government pamphlets promoted “meatless Mondays,” with peanuts high on the menu. Americans “soon may be eating peanut bread, spread with peanut butter, and using peanut oil for our salad,” the Daily Missourian reported in 1917, citing “the exigencies of war.”

The nation’s food scientists are nothing if not ingenious, and peanut butter posed a slippery problem that cried out for a solution. Manufacturers sold tubs of peanut butter to local grocers, and advised them to stir frequently with a wooden paddle, according to Andrew Smith, a food historian. Without regular effort, the oil would separate out and spoil. Then, in 1921, a Californian named Joseph Rosefield filed a patent for applying a chemical process called partial hydrogenation to peanut butter, a method by which the main naturally occurring oil in peanut butter, which is liquid at room temperature, is converted into an oil that’s solid or semisolid at room temperature and thus remains blended; the practice had been used to make substitutes for butter and lard, like Crisco, but Rosefield was the first to apply it to peanut butter. This more stable spread could be shipped across the country, stocked in warehouses and left on shelves, clearing the way for the national brands we all know today. The only invention that did more than hydrogenation to cement peanut butter in the hearts (and mouths) of America’s youth was sliced bread—introduced by a St. Louis baker in the late 1920s—which made it easy for kids to construct their own PB&Js. (In this century, the average American kid eats some 1,500 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches before graduating from high school.)

Rosefield went on to found Skippy, which debuted crunchy peanut butter and wide-mouth jars in the 1930s. In World War II, tins of (hydrogenated) Skippy were shipped with service members overseas, while the return of meat rationing at home again led civilians to peanut butter. Even today, when American expats are looking for a peanut butter fix, they often seek out military bases: They’re guaranteed to stock it.

But while peanut butter’s popularity abroad is growing—in 2020, peanut butter sales in the United Kingdom overtook sales of the Brits’ beloved jam—enjoying the spread is still largely an American quirk. “People say to me all the time, ‘When did you know that you had fully become an American?’” Ana Navarro, a Nicaraguan-born political commentator, told NPR in 2017. “And I say, ‘The day I realized I loved peanut butter.’”

Though the United States lags behind China and India in peanut harvest, Americans still eat far more of the spread than the people in any other country: It’s a gooey taste of nostalgia, for childhood and for American history. “What’s more sacred than peanut butter?” Iowa Senator Tom Harkin asked in 2009, after a salmonella outbreak was traced back to tainted jars. By 2020, when Skippy and Jif released their latest peanut butter innovation—squeezable tubes—nearly 90 percent of American households reported consuming peanut butter.

The ubiquity of this aromatic spread has even figured in the nation’s response to Covid-19. As evidence emerged last spring that many Covid patients were losing their sense of smell and taste, Yale University’s Dana Small, a psychologist and neuroscientist, devised a smell test to identify asymptomatic carriers. In a small, three-month study of health care workers in New Haven, everyone who reported a severe loss of smell using the peanut butter test later tested positive. “What food do most people in the U.S. have in their cupboards that provides a strong, familiar odor?” Small asks. “That’s what led us to peanut butter.”

George Washington Carver’s research was about more than peanuts

By Emily Moon

No American is more closely associated with peanuts than George Washington Carver, who developed hundreds of uses for them, from Worcestershire sauce to shaving cream to paper. But our insatiable curiosity for peanuts, scholars say, has obscured Carver’s greatest agricultural achievement: helping black farmers prosper, free of the tyranny of cotton.

Born enslaved in Missouri around 1864 and trained in Iowa as a botanist, Carver took over the agriculture department at the Tuskegee Institute, in Alabama, in 1896. His hope was to aid black farmers, most of whom were cotton sharecroppers trapped in perpetual debt to white plantation owners. “I came here solely for the benefit of my people,” he wrote to colleagues on his arrival.

He found that cotton had stripped the region’s soil of its nutrients, and yet landowners were prohibiting black farmers from planting food crops. So Carver began experimenting with plants like peanuts and sweet potatoes, which could replenish the nitrogen that cotton leached and, grown discreetly, could also help farmers feed their families. In classes and at conferences and county fairs, Carver showed often packed crowds how to raise these crops.

Since his death in 1943, many of the practices Carver advocated—organic fertilizer, reusing food waste, crop rotation—have become crucial to the sustainable agriculture movement. Mark Hersey, a historian at Mississippi State University, says Carver’s most prescient innovation was a truly holistic approach to farming.

“Well before there was an environmental justice movement, black environmental thinkers connected land exploitation and racial exploitation,” says Hersey. A true accounting of American conservation, he says, would put Carver at the forefront.

Page 8: Less than a month after giving birth to her third child, a baby girl named Mae, Hilary Duff is opening up about the pressure that comes with breastfeeding, saying all of the babies latch really great but she's just not a huge milk producer, so it's emotional for her and she has tons of anxiety, and then she's in her head, and then she doesn't feel like enough, and then the spiral continues from there -- she decided to share her postpartum struggle as a way to cope and to let other new mothers out there know that they're not alone in this

* Sarah Jessica Parker is trying to convince Hugh Grant to star in the upcoming Sex and the City reboot because it's unlikely Chris Noth will be returning as Mr. Big, so she needs a new leading man and Hugh's the perfect candidate -- Sarah Jessica finds him so charming and talented and she was blown away by Hugh's recent acting in The Undoing so she's desperate to have him on the show -- Sarah Jessica, who appeared alongside Hugh in 1996's Extreme Measures and 2009's Did You Hear About the Morgans?, absolutely loves the idea of working with Hugh again and he hasn't agreed to anything yet, but she's hoping he'll say yes

Page 20: Chris Hemsworth landed in hot water with Elsa Pataky after pics of him hanging out with Australian stunner Cheyenne Tozzi hit the internet -- Chris was photographed with the model at Zambi Wildlife Retreat in Wallacia while his wife was off shooting Interceptor in Sydney and it's definitely put Elsa on high alert and she had a lot of questions for Chris when they finally spoke and Chris said he had the kids with him and it was all very innocent -- the couple has often been at odds over their careers and while Chris and Elsa try to coordinate their schedules so that their children, daughter India and twin sons Sasha and Tristan, are always with one parent, Elsa was usually the one forced to put family before fame, but now that Elsa's been working more, she's not always home like she used to be, and this little incident was a huge wake-up call because she might trust Chris, but she isn't stupid: who would want their handsome husband running around with a blond bombshell?

Page 21: Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Claudia Jordan is alleging that Kanye West made a move on her while he was still with Kim Kardashian, saying he tried years ago when she and Nikki Chu were in the club and they shut the door and she had met him before and she hung out with Kim as well and because of Girl Code, she couldn't do it

BnHA Chapter 052: “I Was Almost Too Late”

Previously on BnHA: Tomura’s gang of Noumus wreaked havoc on the city. Fucking Endeavor showed up to lend Gran Torino some support. Deku realized Iida was in trouble. Iida got all kinds of fucked up by Stain and tearfully monologued about how much he loves his brother. Stain was not moved and went in for the killing blow. Then my boi Deku showed up with the clutch last minute save.

Today on BnHA: Deku shows off his big hero brain and rad deductive reasoning skills. Iida is all, “DEKU, DON’T INTERFERE!” even though he’s just lying on the ground waiting to get murdered. Deku tries to hold off Stain using full cowl and it’s briefly the coolest thing ever, but then Stain grazes him with one of his blades and Deku gets paralyzed too. Stain is all, “you’re cool so I won’t kill you,” and yet again tries to kill Iida. Yet another U.A. student shows up before he can actually do so, because Iida apparently has a backup quirk of summoning main characters whenever he’s about to die.

(As always, all comments not marked with an ETA are my unspoiled reactions from my first readthrough of this chapter. I’ve read up through chapter 126 now, so any ETAs will reflect that.)

um... what

[frantically checks chapter number like three times even though it’s printed right there]

lol what. is this a dream?? a flash forward? DO WE HAVE TO GO BACK KATE

WAIT A SEC. this is a color page! and 52 weeks in a year = 52 chapters in a year = it’s been one year in real time. that’s what they’re talking about

well, congratulations! but don’t fucking confuse me like that you assholes

GASSSSPP

POPULARITY POLL

I PREDICT TODOROKI AT NUMBER ONE, FOLLOWED BY DEKU, FOLLOWED BY BAKUGOU, FOLLOWED BY ALL MIGHT, FOLLOWED BY... WELL IN A JUST WORLD IT’D BE MY BEST GIRL OCHAKO BUT I GUESS WE’LL SEE

oh lord now there’s a two-page spread, and okay I have to risk spoiling myself because this page deserves to be viewed in color

okay found it

I just really love Bakugou’s pose and Aizawa’s grumpy sleeping bag face in the back. also Momo getting her drink on

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE POLL. DO I HAVE TO GO HUNT THAT SHIT DOWN. SHIT. I’LL DO IT LATER

(ETA: didn’t realize this was just the poll announcement and I still had to wait 10 more chapters for the actual results lol)

all right so flashback to Deku running with a 5% One for All speed boost to get to Iida before anything bad happens

he’s thinking about the coincidental appearance of several new Noumus in the same city where the Hero Killer had previously been rampaging about. and he’s wondering if it’s a sign that said killer and the League of Villains have teamed up

good instincts there Deku

and of course he’s realized that Iida went after Stain, since all the signs point in that direction. he’s read enough comics to know when a young hero has gone running off on his own on an ill-advised quest for vengeance

back to the present! Deku is all YEAH I WAS FUCKING RIGHT

(ETA: Deku saying “bingo”, which he does in English, with that satisfied “FUCKIN’ KNEW IT” expression, may be my favorite moment in this entire arc, and I mean that unironically. love it)

Iida looks totally shocked to see him and can you blame him?? he was literally about to die and all of a sudden fucking Deku shows up out of nowhere to punch the strong villain guy in the face? Deku who was supposed to be off on his own internship miles and miles away? and who wouldn’t have had any idea that Iida had gone off on his solo vengeance quest?

just goes to show, don’t underestimate the main character’s propensity for sniffing out trouble and getting involved in the middle of it, Iida

(ETA: since I’ve complained a little about the suspension of disbelief required for some of the coincidences in this arc, I just want to clarify that this is not one of those moments. I actually really like that Deku’s logic was explained, and that he didn’t just randomly stumble across Iida, but was actively looking for him after narrowing down his search radius)

anyway so Stain’s rebounding now and he does recognize Deku from Tomura’s photo

Deku is so fucking smart

can we all agree that even without One for All he still would have made a great fucking hero. worst case, he would have been like the most legendary detective of all time, probably

Deku asks Iida if he can move. good, he’s not dumb enough to try and take this guy on alone if he can help it

but the problem is Iida can’t move. apparently Stain’s quirk took effect when he was cut

shit. so... lol Deku! better not fucking get cut. time to put those new One for All skills to the test in a trial by fire

Deku considers just carrying Iida (he’s strong enough now lol), but then he sees the other hero guy lying there nearby, and he can’t get both of them

and now Iida is putting in his two cents, and. wow guys. this is easily the dumbest thing anyone has ever said in the whole series up until this point

JUST LEAVE ME HERE TO DIE, FAM. IT’S GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, IIDA

Stain seems to admire Deku’s heroism, but he says that it’s his duty to kill these guys, and if Deku’s going to stand in his way, well then. you can see where this is going

what happened to that whole “I don’t kill kids, the people I kill all deserve it, this is for the good of society” and all that other shit

and he says “the weaker of us will be culled” with a scary face. and Deku looks intimidated because he can see that this guy truly believes the bullshit he’s spouting right now, and he knows that makes him extra dangerous

but when this guy says “the weaker of us”, I don’t know if he realizes that there’s a good fucking chance that’s actually him

also, I’m still half-expecting Todoroki to show up if this gets bad. though part of me hopes it doesn’t happen since it's so tropey. if he was hanging out with Endeavor, it’d make more sense for him to team up with him and Gran. or maybe join the fight against all of the Noumus downtown

Deku is reaching behind him and clicking something. it looks like his phone; I wonder if he called for backup

he’s realizing now that he’s on his own. but he’s also saying that he needs to “buy some time” so I hope he did call for help

Iida is screaming at him but dude, you really expect Deku to just leave you? I know you’re not thinking straight, but that’s suicidal at best and borderline insulting at worst. I hope Deku chews you out later

oho!

okay, two things I like here! number one, quoting one of All Might’s better lessons. and number two, THE FUCKING SMILE OMG. this is easily the most AM-like he’s been to date and it looks good on him, damn

look at Iida’s face

fucking relax?? you’re really killing my buzz here. just wait. Deku’s got this

probably

so Deku’s charging at Stain and Stain’s bringing the sword out! BOY YOU BETTER DODGE THAT SHIT OR ELSE IT’S A ONE-HIT KO WITH HIS QUIRK

YESSSSSSS

ALL RIGHT SON LET’S DO THIS

Stain thinks to himself that Deku made the smart move by getting in close, so he can’t use his long blade effectively. but now he’s pulling out one of his knives!

AHHHH YESSSS NOT SO FAST MOTHERFUCKER

(ETA: holy shit you can actually see two tiny droplets of blood by Deku’s arm, though. that’s so cool that you can go back and pinpoint the moment when he gets grazed and doesn’t realize)

I’m honestly starting to get a little nervous as to what’s going to happen, because so far Deku is making this look fucking easy, and I figure that in order for the suspense to be maintained, surely something has to go wrong soon, right?

then again

lmao every time Stain tries to hit him he’s fucking gone. pretty safe to say he’s got the speed advantage here I think

AND HERE HE COMES NOW WITH THE SMASH

EVEN AT JUST FIVE PERCENT, THAT SHIT STILL LOOKS LIKE IT HURT

oh my god

sure!! because why would Deku ever come up with his own fighting style when he could just keep ripping off Bakugou’s playbook until the end of time?! I love this so much

anyway, so that was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen, so naturally something terrible is about to happen I assume?

OH FUCK ME FUCKING SHIT

Deku’s trying to figure out what’s going on -- “did he graze me?”

I can’t tell for sure but it seems like there is indeed a sliiiight teeny tiny cut on his upper arm. fuck

although now Deku is thinking “no that’s not it! it’s blood!” and I have no idea what he’s talking about?

Stain’s walking up to him all calm. he says Deku lacks power but did a good job tracking his movements

see Iida, now if you want to freak out, I will allow it

oh shit??

never mind Iida

shit he’s walking back towards you!!

Stain please don’t kill Iida right in front of a paralyzed and helpless Deku oh my god

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh snap

WHO CALLED IT?! YEAH THAT’S RIIIIGHT

WHY SO SURPRISED, DID YOU NOT SEE THIS COMING

LMAO MEANWHILE I ONLY PREDICTED IT BECAUSE I KNEW FROM THE ANIME THAT HE DID GO TO INTERN AT ENDEAVOR’S AGENCY. IT’S THE ANIME’S FUCKING FAULT. I SHOULD STOP WATCHING FOR A WHILE, BUT I JUST LOVE THE SOUNDTRACK SO MUCH, AND IT’S SO MUCH FUN TO SEE THESE SCENES IN ACTION DAMMIT

ANYWAY!!!

OHHH MY GODDD

DEKU HIT HIM UP IN THE GROUP CHAT I CAN’T I’M DONE FOREVER

SO THEN HE DID KNOW HE WAS COMING. MAYBE HE JUST LOOKS SO SHOCKED BECAUSE OF THE STRESSFUL SITUATION HE WAS IN ONLY SECONDS EARLIER

ALSO, LOOK AT THIS HANDSOME MOTHERFUCKER IN HIS NEW FUCKING COSTUME

hey google play Arsonist’s Lullabye

BONUS:

Ochako’s meal plan wtf

she doesn’t eat

what the fuck did I just read

what the shit I don’t even get it. how’s it supposed to be funny. is it making fun of diets or making light of poverty wtf

whatever. I may honestly delete this bonus section, since it contains absolutely nothing of value and just ruins all that cool shit Todoroki and Deku just did

(ETA: well in the end I didn’t delete it. I’m not gonna post any of the rest of these segments though. they’re pretty terrible and it’s easier for me to just pretend they don’t exist)

#bnha #boku no hero academia #makeste reads bnha #midoriya izuku #iida tenya #stain (bnha)#todoroki shouto #you bet I have theme songs picked out for all my favorite characters by this point #what else am I supposed to do #*not* make sure all my music is bnha-themed whenever I read?#come on

I just think it's super cool how something not real can terrify you or literally stop you from moving forward. Do you know anyone who has road rage? MY YOUNGER SISTER.

Do your pets sleep next to you at night? Roman always starts off in my bed, usually right beside my head (which is SO damn cute), but occasionally he moves around to other places. Teddy also starts off on the bed if he wants up, but typically jumps down after a while to go to the couch instead. What’s the farthest country you’ve met someone from? Irl, Japan. Online buddies, Australia. Who is your favorite movie villain? Harley Quinn from Suicide Squad, probably. Man, mentioning it makes me wanna watch it again. Or maybe Dark Alessa from the first SH movie as she wonderfully played for a child (she's the youngest nominee ever for the Emmy's AND Genies, y'all) and a truly intimidating character. What’s your favorite flavor of mousse? I don't even remember how it tastes. Do you prefer fruit or berries? ... Berries are fruit?

Uhhh I'm not sure. Which of Taylor Swift’s music videos is your favorite? I don't listen to her, nor have I seen her music videos. Do you like your mom’s wedding dress? I don't know if I've ever seen it but in old pictures maybe. Who was the last person to hurt you tremendously? Probably Mom. Have you tried Wii Fit? Yeah, it's a great way to lose weight and tone up. Who did you last make food for? Besides myself, Sara. Have you ever taken a survey while drunk or high? No. Do you have any relatives in a mental hospital? No. Have you ever worn those Drunk Goggles? Yeah, once in D.A.R.E. Can you agree to disagree, or usually get upset over conflicting views? Agree to disagree is pretty easy for me. Rodeos – entertaining, or cruel? FUCK-ING CRUEL. HOW IS IT STILL LEGAL. Who is the best female rocker? Why? As far as singing goes, I looove Angela Gossow from Arch Enemy. The new singer is fine, too. What color of roses do you find the prettiest? A pink/peach gradient sort of one. Or just red. Do you draw fanart of anything? Not regularly at all, but I have before. Do you like the smell of books? Not very much. What’s on your Reading List, so-to-speak, right now? Nothing. Favorite thing to see in museums? Fossils. What things have people shamed you for? Certain controversial opinions, supposedly always wanting pity when I absolutely don't, etc. Do you always reply to private messages? (On any website) Usually, unless they're creepy or it's someone trying to sell a product. Do you like knock-knock jokes? No, I find zero humor in them. Do you prefer earphones or the ear-muff style headphones? Muffs; they block out external sound more and are generally of a higher audio quality. What is one way someone could completely put you off on a first date? Rudeness. What about a way someone could make you like them more on a first date? A good sense of humor. What was the last music video you watched? Did you like it? No clue. Does your voice change when you talk to certain people? Yeah. What’s your favorite chocolate in the valentine box? The ones filled with fudge. What’s your favorite thrift store? *shrugs* Would you ever share your most embarrassing moment publicly? No. Do you eat yogurt a lot? No; not a big fan. What’s a condition you have that you haven’t been officially diagnosed with? None; my issues are diagnosed. ACTUALLY, I still question if I have a tamer form of BPD, but my therapist sees just bipolarity in me, despite fitting quite a few of the qualifiers for an official diagnosis. Oh yeah, I also know I have carpal tunnel, but I'm not diagnosed with it. Which one of your parents do you think is smarter? Oh jeez. I love you, Dad, but Mom is in most areas. My father has ZERO common sense (where I got it from, I'm sure) and has to hear something five billion times before he understands. Which parent do you think you inherited your intelligence level from? Mom. Do you store your bike in a garage for the winter? I don’t have a bike. Have you ever had a professional make-over? No. Have you ever had a professional photo shoot? When my sisters and I were very young, we always got Easter pictures done. As an adult, no. What’s your favorite way to style your hair? I can't really style it much at the length it is, but what I do prefer is having the short hair on the left side of my head positioned towards my face to help conceal the part in my hair that goes from "boy-short" to a bit longer. Also, I just don't enjoy it as much angled down. What irritates you about your daily life? Being alone nearly all day with not a damn thing to do. Doing the same shit every single day gets old. And fast. What makes you feel more creative? Above anything else, MUSIC. It plays such an influence in my drawings and story development. What’s your anti-depressant? Show me Mark laughing his ass off at that stupid "shoosh" thing or watching meerkats be cute. Music can be, sometimes. What’s your favorite fragrance? I'm assuming you mean things like perfume? In that case, something subtle and fresh, like a weak floral sort. Ever found something disgusting in your food while eating out? I don't believe so. Do you ever babysit? No. I did it once in my life years upon years ago for my former neighbor, and while she was a good kid, I was CLUELESS on what to do/how to really interact as much as an adult should with a toddler. Then changing a diaper, jfc. Thank God she hadn't shit in it, because then it woulda been all over. I was only less stressed when Jason came over because hi former man/baby heart throbbing that used to make my abstinent uterus cry, how are ya. We ended up all on the couch together napping, so I mean, I guess mission accomplished???? But yeah, never will again. What is your favorite medication that you take, and why? Latuda + Lamictal played a massive part in literally saving my life. What color hair did your first crush have? Brown, I think? Would you rather do a craft project or a science experiment? Totally a science experiment. What was the last thing you spray-painted? My hair probably for some Halloween event, I think? Do you paint rocks and hide them in your town? ... Is this a thing?????????? Do you have any cousins who look like you? No. What color band and stone does your class ring have? I didn't get one. What’s one thing you are bad at drawing? Hands. HANDS. Can you see the mountains from where you live? No. Did you ever play pranks on April Fool’s Day? Not anymore. Have you ever played a prank and later regretted it? I've mentioned before my sister, our neighbor, and I had a phase of being asshole kids making prank phone calls, so that. Does chronic illness keep you from doing the things you want to do? Not exactly; I guess a good metaphor would be it's like being a chained dog with the leash about to break. I can't seem to get to some places yet, but I'm putting sincere effort into overcoming those limitations. Do you part your hair on the left side, right side, or in the middle? Left. Do you have bangs? No. Do you think you look good with bangs? NO. When was the last time you got an injection? I believe when I was getting a cavity filled at the dentist, so I had numbing shots. How often do you charge your phone? Depends on how much it's used, but maybe every other day, usually? In a house fire, what three things would you save? My mom, dog, and snake. How long is the journey to get to school or work? N/A Where did you meet your best friend? YouTube. Do you use body wash, shower gel, or soap? Body wash. Do you use public transport regularly? No. Who do you usually say hello or good morning first? Mom sometimes or one of the pets. Have you ever had to work while there was a film crew at your work place? No. What’s your favorite color of carnation? I just looked up pictures to remember what they were, and I really like those white and pink ones. Do you/have you worked a job where you could bring leftover food home from? No. Who or what greets you at the door every time you come home? Teddy and Bentley. Do you ever chat about your favorite video games with your friends? Silent Hill, yes. I'm an admin on its wiki, so pay attention to everything that's going on and contribute to blog posts/forums if I'm not a lazy shit that doesn't wanna read long things. Girt and I talk about World of Warcraft occasionally. Have you ever supported anyone’s Kickstarter? If so, what was it? No. What do you like in your omelet? I haven't had an omelet in, God, forever, but I love the ones with American cheese and bits of ham. Are you currently studying a language? If so, which one? None currently. Do you have free tickets for anything that need to be used soon? Idk. How many things do you remember from the first few years of your life? Oh, boy. I have incredible long-term memory, but it only spans back so far, and I don't know how many years qualifies as just "the first few." I'm also HORRIBLE at categorizing events by age. But w/e, just gonna guesstimate like, 1-4. 1.) I watched my insane brother go down the slide of our playset into the essential lake Hurricane Floyd caused in our yard; 2.) lots of things in pre-k, 3.) being babysat, and our first one always gave Nicole and me moonpies; 4.) going to an absolutely awful daycare where I had my hand slapped by a teacher just for unknowingly going into the wrong room to pick up a toy during playtime (I literally sobbed my lungs out until Mom got me, and she never took me back); 5.) mentioning her, I had AWFUL separation anxiety; 6.) I very publicly had a M E N T A L B R E A K D O W N before I got my blood drawn for the first time (at least at the age where I could understand what was about to happen); 7.) playing with my best friend; and that's all for now. I'm sure there's a whole lot more. NONONONONONO WAIT. So this is super specific, but boy do I remember it. Nap time. Nope. The teacher would have quiet instrumental music on, and I remember so well that if "Für Elise" came on, I would secretly be crying on my "bed" with this random vision of my mom literally melting while looking horrified. Look, I don't. I don't understand either. A child's brain is one hell of an artist. What is something that you would you say you have an advanced knowledge of? Will I ever answer questions like these with anything other than "meerkats?" What is a restaurant that you would never eat at? Anything sketchy, for one. If it doesn't look decently hygienic, I'm not touching anything there. What historical event do you have an advanced knowledge of? HA, none. What is a phrase that you use that you don’t hear many other people use? I dunno. Well, there's "gg" ("good game"=[usually] sarcastic "good job"), which is pretty much gamer terminology; I've said it before in front of people and yeah, didn't understand. Who’s the last person you told a secret to? Either Sara or Mom, idr. Which side of the bed do you sleep on? I sleep more towards the middle of my bed, but I am closer to the left side. Are you currently looking for a job? I'm desperate enough for a job that I'm in vocational rehab. Think that's a sufficient answer. Is there anything currently hurting on your body? Surprisingly not. When was the last time you were told you were cute? *shrugs* Who was the last person to smoke a cigarette in your presence? Dad or Kim, I think. Do your parents really know you? Mom, for sure. I don't feel that Dad truly knows me deeply. Like he's familiar with some things I enjoy and my timidness, but I think that's... kinda it? I mean I'm a whoooole different person from what I was when he left, and there were a couple years before I spoke to him again, so that's a large period of time to change. I do know some of our political/moral beliefs are inverse of each other, and I've got a feeling just from me knowing him that he likely doesn't take mental illness like depression very seriously, and with me being. Me. Disorders are apparently attracted to me. But seriously, as I wrote, I don't know if that's at all true. Honestly who was the first person to tell you they love you? Romantically or platonically? I can pretty much guarantee my mom was the first person to say that ever, but romantically, idk. Probably one of those two boys that wouldn't leave me alone for anything.in pre-k, though I think it's quite obvious neither loved me at that age. Have you ever broken up with someone and become bitter enemies? No. Were you ever obsessed with Vitamin Water? I don't think I've ever even tried it. Have you ever had a weird dream and obsessed over what it might mean? No, as I don't feel they have any strange/"special" meanings. Or do you usually forget about your dreams? And then there's also that. Which languages can you speak? English, some simple German. Which language do you speak the most and why? English, because I was raised speaking it. What celebrities, if any, have you seen naked? None. I know, SHOCKING. Have you ever seen anybody naked by accident? Yeah. Have you ever wondered what somebody looks like naked? Sure. Have you ever had a sexual fantasy about a celebrity? I plead the 5th. Do you think guys look good in makeup? You ROCK THAT SHIT, QUEEN. Do you like using clay and/or peel-off masks for skincare? I like face masks, but it's not something we buy. Instead I just use Biore charcoal scrub. If you have a job, who’s your closest friend at work? N/A Is there an automatic fog light in your yard? No. What’s your go-to activity when you’re bored? Surveys, usually. Have you ever worked in an office? No.

Note

Shur Kha for the ultimate ship meme because why not :3

General:

How long will they last? - For how long they’d last... that would be up in the air I feel >> depending on how many times they butt heads and such. I could see it lasting a long time but at the SAME time I could see it lasting briefly >>

How quickly did/will they fall in love? - With Jacques being how he is, it would no doubt have taken quite awhile to forge any relationship (romantic or otherwise) because he tends to be very guarded when it comes to letting people in.

How was their first kiss? - One word: Awkward... >>

Wedding:

Who proposed? - It wouldn’t be Jacques that’s for sure *SHOT* Honestly, who WOULD be the one to propose between these two >_>

Who is the best man/men? - No doubt it would be Shur’s brother Khara as well as P’shali and Swath >>

Who is the brides maid(s)? - I... have no idea |D Though one character could come in mind but she’s played by @talechaser-ffxiv >> and that would be Mana.

Who did the most planning? - Between the two of them, I’d likely lean towards Jacques but honestly... both? LMAO

Who stressed the most? - Jacques hands down... then again I could also see this as another both sort of option |D

How fancy was the ceremony? - Back of a pickup truck | 2 | 3 | 4 | Normal Church Wedding | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Kate and William wish they were this big.

Who was specifically not invited to the wedding? - PFFFFTTTTT I dunno? (These are hard okay >>)

Sex:

Who is on top? - While Jacques has his moments where he’ll gladly ‘bend over’ for people he’s generally the one on top ;)

Who is the one to instigate things? - I mean... Jacques can be pretty forward when it comes to certain things so... more than likely him >>

How healthy is their sex life? - When you’re with Jacques you no doubt have a very healthy sex life >v>Barely touch themselves let alone each other | 2 | 3 | 4 | Once a couple weeks, nothing overboard | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They are humping each other on the couch right now

How kinky are they? - Jacques is obviously no stranger to the kinky stuff (He loves his Bondage and stuff like that) so... |DStraight missionary with the lights off | 2 | 3 | 4 | Might try some butt stuff and toys | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Don’t go into the sex dungeon without a horse’s head

How long do they normally last? - SERIOUSLY THESE QUESTIONS LMAO Ummmmmmmmmm Jacques has stamina for days so... >_> I’d say fairly long?

Do they make sure each person gets an equal amount of orgasms? - Jacques is always the sort to make sure his partners get a decent amount of... ahem... times, equal though... that’s hard to say |D Jacques tends to be a hit or miss on that mark >>

How rough are they in bed? - If something doesn’t get clawed up then it’s not a good time! XD Not really but...Softer than a butterfly on the back of a bunny | 2 | 3 | 4 | The bed’s shaking and squeaking every time | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Their dirty talk is so vulgar it’d make Dwayne Johnson blush. Also, the wall’s so weak it could collapse the next time they do it.

How much cuddling/snuggling do they do? - Jacques is certainly a cuddler and snuggler when he’s in the right mood so... >>No touching after sex | 2 | 3 | 4 | A little spooning at night, or on the couch, but not in public | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They snuggle and kiss more often than a teen couple on their fifth date to a pillow factory.

Children:

How many children will they have naturally? - If Jacques had the choice he’d say none... but at the very least they’d have one |D

How many children will they adopt? - If it gets him passed the poopy diaper stage then he’d gladly adopt at least one child. More if said child is you know... decent >>

Who gets stuck with the most diapers? - Sorry Shur but this is your field, Jacques is obviously not going to be dealing with any poopy/dirty diapers |D

Who is the stricter parent? - Jacques would likely be the stricter of the two but that would probably be because he is worried for his children. Overprotective papa would be extremely over protective.

Who stops the kid(s) from doing dangerous stunts after school? - Jacques would be there watching them like a hawk, though he would also no doubt be the person to let them make their mistakes and hopefully learn from them >>

Who remembers to pack the lunch(es)? - Jacques is a natural cook, so obviously he’d be the one to likely remember them the most |D

Who is the more loved parent? - Both? I couldn’t see one or the other getting more love honestly >>

Who is more likely to attend the PTA meetings? - Both again, I could see Jacques being the one to go there but also Shur as well. Both going because they want to make sure their kids aren’t up to no good >>

Who cried the most at graduation? - Another one that I like feel both would have the equal amount of crying here. Jacques would try and hide it though XD

Who is more likely to bail the child(ren) out of trouble with the law? - Not Jacques >> he’d let them stay in there just so that they could learn their lesson... and if they don’t well then he’d just let them keep getting in trouble until they learn.

Cooking:

Who does the most cooking? - Jacques, he wouldn’t let anyone else in the kitchen unless he trusted them >>

Who is the most picky in their food choice? - Hmmmmm I don’t truly see either being picky about their food but at the same time possibly Shur?

Who does the grocery shopping? - Jacques would be the one to go out and get everything, whether it’s through shopping or straight up gathering it from the wilds

How often do they bake desserts? - Jacques would be doing it all the damn time, he loves baking >>

Are they more of a meat lover or a salad eater? - Jacques doesn’t MIND salads but he’s more the meat lover type... so yeah |D it would be a healthy diet but mostly meat >>

Who is more likely to surprise the other(s) with an anniversary dinner? - Jacques, he would easily be the one to make any sort of surprises happen. Whether it’s an anniversary or a birthday or any special event.

Who is more likely to suggest going out? - This would likely fall on Shur because Jacques doesn’t really like going out all that much. You know... Introvert and all that |D

Who is more likely to burn the house down accidently while cooking? - I mean it wouldn’t be Jacques |D

Chores:

Who cleans the room? - Equal sharing of the cleaning, Jacques would do his part and I can see Shur also potentially helping out as well. Maybe it’s something along the lines of just one cleans one day and the other cleans the next.

Who is really against chores? - Honestly... Jacques wouldn’t be against it so... I DUNNO 8D

Who cleans up after the pets? - When you have a massive Behemoth, a Fenrir puppy and a honery Chocobo you learn to clean up quite frequently... *COUGHS* So Jacques more than likely |D

Who is more likely to sweep everything under the rug? - Jacques would stomp on anyone who hides stuff under the rugs so... Not him >>

Who stresses the most when guests are coming over? - Depending on the guests it would probably be Jacques. He doesn’t do good with people obviously >>

Who found a dollar between the couch cushions while cleaning? - Free Gil is Free Gil so either of them would likely be the one to find money in the couch while cleaning |D

Misc:

Who takes the longer showers/baths? - This one is a toss up, Jacques would likely be the one that takes the longer baths because of his scales and he tends to ‘shed’ them every so often. So the hot water would help with that, long soaks = very pleasant for him as well.

Who takes the dog out for a walk? - Probably Jacques, especially if it means he can just go out into the forest or something to ‘get away’ and unwind a bit :P

How often do they decorate the room/house for the holidays? - Jacques would certainly get into the spirit of things but he wouldn’t go WILD so to speak. He’d put up a tree and such with lights and that’d be about it. He’d likely decorate for the major holidays of Eorzea and that’d be it.

What are their goals for the relationship? - Hmmmmmmmm, a healthy one would be the biggest thing that I could think of. I DUNNO I’M BAD AT THIS OKAY ;v;

Who is most likely to sleep till noon? - Jacques, he rarely gets enough sleep so when he does he’d be out like a light and no doubt sleep until noon or past it >>

Who plays the most pranks? - Obviously Shur :v she’d prank the shit out of poor Jacques day in and out to the point that he’d likely be looking for the traps/pranks the moment he gets home XD

LORD THIS ONE WAS HARD 8C I hope I did a good job though! But I leave you with this gif...

ULTIMATE SHIP MEME!

#FFXIV #FFXIV RP #Mateus #Mateus RP #Mateus Server #Dragon Knight Responds #Jacques #Jacques Cresent #Au Ra #Au Ra Xaela #Xaela #Holy fuck these were hard at times XD #Especially because well... I DON'T KNOW WHO WOULD DO WHAT!#like some of them I was just sitting there like uhhhhhh #Both seems like the best answer >_>#That gif is perfect for this though LMAO #Thanks for the ask!#east-to-the-sea

Pizza is Strange

So, I was perusing bits of fan art and the like and came across a picture of Rachel and Chloe ignoring their pizza in lieu of each other (which honestly makes sense, most of a large pizza was eaten by that point so why eat the rest right then?) and it got me thinking... who prefers what toppings in LiS?

So here goes:

Max: Cheese lovers. Seriously, this girl loves cheese. She in fact prefers multi-cheese pizzas rather than just mozzarella and powdered parmesan. A piece of pizza isn’t truly pizza unless it is streaming cheese from both sides when she lifts a slice.

Chloe: Meat Lovers. Heavy on the bacon. Seriously, your arteries will harden when you see the amount of meat she wants on the pizza and at least a third of that thing should have bacon on it. Not that I blame her. Hey, can’t a girl like bacon on pizza?

Rachel: Vegetarian. Rachel has to watch her diet, and pizza is one of those indulgences she doesn’t do very often. But when she does she likes to have lots of veggies on that pizza so she can claim she’s eating healthy. *steals a slice of Chloe’s pizza when she’s distracted*

Victoria: She prefers artisan pizzas and has a fondness for Mediterranean pizzas made with fresh ingredients. Unfortunately there’s no artisan pizza places in Arcadia Bay but she will make due by stealing some of Max’s pizza because while it might just be cheese, at least it has multiple types of cheese. Max apparently has some good tasted. Obviously it’s just luck. Or she’s aping Victoria. Yeah, that has to be it. ;) *steals some of Max’s pizza*

Taylor: Taylor actually doesn’t have much in the way of preferences for pizza. She won’t tell Victoria that, but she actually enjoys the cafeteria pizza as it’s a thicker-crust pizza and she likes having more crust. That and it’s not quite as greasy. Still, if Victoria is paying she’ll have some of Victoria’s pizza.

Courtney: Whatever Victoria is having. After all, Victoria is boss and she knows what she’s doing. *steals some of Max’s pizza*

Nathan: Mushrooms, expensive pepperoni salami and such with olives. His sister always would order out with this and it’s a way for him to connect with his sis while she’s out of the country, though he doesn’t allow anyone to steal slices. Other than Victoria. And she’s allowed. *Victoria steals a slice of his pizza, Courtney is chased off.*

Steph: Pepperoni. Or just cheese. Doesn’t matter. Pizza is a staple for gaming and it seems folk always order cheese pizza in bulk and then pepperoni next so she’s used to it. Pizza is pizza after all. *steals a slice of Max’s pizza*

Mikey and Drew: Meat Lover’s all the way! And yes! Load on that bacon! *fist-bumps Chloe and steals a couple slices of her pizza* *Chloe steals a beer from Drew*

Warren: Cheese and salami. Sometimes when he’s feeling fancy he’ll have onion put on the pizza as well. *tries to steal some of Max’s pizza only to have Chloe slap his hand away*

Brooke: Vegetarian with vegan cheese. Seriously, meat tastes horrible, why would anyone put that on pizza? And some crisp red peppers really bring out the flavor of pizza. Also some tofu because tofu makes everything better.

Alyssa: Hawaiian all the way. Seriously, you haven’t had pizza unless it has pineapple on it and hey, who stole a piece of my pizza?!? *Victoria surreptitiously noms on a slice of Alyssa’s pizza*

David: Plain cheese pizza that has tomato sauce showing around clumps of cheese, seriously, that has to be damn cheap pizza... oh, he got it out of the cafeteria. That explains it... (he’s ex-military, they can eat anything)

Joyce: Buffalo chicken pizza. It’s the one type of pizza she doesn’t have to worry about David or Chloe stealing slices of. Well, Chloe did... once. She claims it was okay but she was guzzling milk afterward. *Max steals a slice and loves it*

Kate: Cheese, with cheddar and Prosciutto, and white sauce. *asks politely for a slice of Joyce’s pizza and enjoys it immensely, suggests she might want to try jalapeños and peppers* *Joyce looks nervously at the quietly religious teen*

Samantha: Whatever anyone else is having if no one minds I mean cheese is okay and what is Nathan having that looks... interesting but no, just cheese. Thank you. *doesn’t steal any pizza*

Frank: Pepperoni. Nothing fancy. *feeds the pizza crusts and pieces of pepperoni to Pompidou*

Principal Wells: *ignores the pizza and has a whiskey dinner*

Mark Jefferson: Nothing is better than a good mayonnaise-and-peas pizza...

*everyone looks at Jefferson in horror* Max: You monster!

Yandere Jail pt. 12

Holding the little boy in my hands was amazing as he looked at me, seeing he had all his fingers and toes I smiled. Atem held me as he watched us while Rei yawned a cute baby yawn. I was so happy with all the wait it wasn't bad. Atem kissed my forehead which surprised me.

"You're so strong." Atem said

"I'm not strong, not really." I said

"Liar, you endured everything. My behavior in there and everyone else's" Atem said

I didn't have any words as I got up and set Rei in his crib and put on the baby monitor as I walked out of the room. Atem followed me and I was to the living room when I saw my brother on the phone. I stopped at the door way and he was getting off the phone when he looked at me.

"Kaitlyn is getting out of the jail today." Aiden said "I offered for her to stay with us." I smiled "I'll go get her." I offered "Alright, take the c-" Aiden started but Atem spoke "I'll drive her."

Aiden and I exchanged looks since I had no choice in the matter of how much time I spent around him now that our son was born. Aiden nods without a second thought and I knew I probably shouldn't be driving anyway. I questioned if something was up but said nothing as we went to his car but Aiden knew to watch Rei.

As I got in the car I was reminded how lucky I was to not be scarred up and I wondered about Kaitlyn remembering she was sick. Atem drove there and we didn't even say anything just silence in the car. Since I was picking her up I walked in the place after he parked and saw the same officer who released me when they found out I was innocent.

"Oh Ms. Petrova, I am surprised to see you." The officer said "I'm here to pick up Kaitlyn." I said

"Ah yes. Ms. Snow, she'll be out momentarily. I hope your time in the outside world is better than your time here was." The officer said "Of course, I have a son now." I said

He seemed a bit shocked but then I didn't get out of here free like the rest of those who left I was marked but in another way. I didn't have any bruises or marks but I had a baby which was proof enough. I hadn't expected what was coming as Kaitlyn came out with a baby and her bag.

"Britt" Kaitlyn said "Hey Kate." I said "I didn't expect you." Kaitlyn said and I merely smiled.

We walked for a bit till we were outside but then I saw her seeing the car and who was in the driver seat. She looked at me curious and I knew she wanted to ask so I crossed my arms.

"Go ahead and ask." I said

"You..and him?" Kaitlyn asked

"Sorta. I was pregnant when I got out, he's been the perfect gentlemen outside this place in front of my parents and I had our baby recently." I said

"Oh" Kaitlyn said

I led her to the car as she got in the back holding her baby since Aiden neglected to mention a car seat would be needed. The drive back was quiet but I wasn't really wanting to talk. Atem dropped us off at my house but didn't even get out as I walked over to his side of the car and he slid the window down.

"Take time with your friend." Atem said, "I'll visit another time, you're not going anywhere."

The way you say I'm not going anywhere like you know everywhere I am. I thought

Still I nod as I watched him leave and I helped Kaitlyn settle in for now. I was glad things were seeming to work out. I didn't let her see Rei right away and a few weeks and I was able to lose the baby weight with a strict diet. Kaitlyn was doing a lot of work with her own baby. I finally brought Rei out of the baby room when I saw Kaitlyn with her daughter. She noticed me and the little boy in my arms.

"Wow he really does look like him." Kaitlyn said "yes, but he's got this brown in his hair that makes him unique." I said

"Yes it does. I'm glad you two seem to be figuring things out speaking of he's not been around." Kaitlyn said

"He's been giving me space and I was able to lose the weight." I said

"You look great." Kaitlyn said

I smiled but I was getting lonely and not only that I was in a mood. She was right he'd just stopped coming and I figured he was just trying to work up to get me ready. I remembered what he said about a ring though and thought about it wondering if he hadn't been serious and was looking for a ring.

"What's on your mind?" Kaitlyn asked

"He said something about getting a ring, he already plans on marriage." I said

"Well your grandfather insists on it, right?" Kaitlyn asked

"Well yeah, but I said I wasn't going to wear a wedding dress while preg..nant.." I said

I realized then he was planning for me to lose the baby weight. Everything was going by what he'd planned. I sighed but also I noticed I hadn't seen Atiyah around. I guess I should have been a bit more worried, right? I had to think about everything at the moment knowing that there could be more going on then I originally used to think but with Kaitlyn here I tried pushing it off.

Soon I got a call from Mrs. Knight and I answered as we talked and I smiled at her words. I got myself ready to leave and told mom to watch Rei as I went out to her parlor. I felt I was being watched but then I wasn't thinking much about it. I knew there were risks but that would be for later. As I walked in I bumped into someone and saw it was Atiyah.

"Petrova, I see you look skinny again. Did you lose the baby?" Atiyah said

"Oh no, he's at home with my mother." I said

Her look just seemed shocked that I'd just had her ex boyfriends baby. Like I cared what she or anyone else thought of my child. I was the one who was going to be raising him. I needed to get by and not with my grandfather's money. I could survive on my own with earning money from my new modeling job that I had acquired from just being a good volunteer when models cancelled. As I walked in I was greeted by Tanya who hugged me the moment I came in the door.

"britt, I could have came to get you instead of you walking here." Tanya said

"Oh come on, I could walk. It isn't that bad." I said

"But you could ware yourself out before you even started modeling." Tanya said

"It's ok. really." I said

Tanya Knight, one of my best friends in the world and she means well but with everything going on I didn't need her overdoing it. She stayed by my side when they wrongly convicted me and my record was cleaned after I was proven innocent. I was lucky to have a normal life when it came to being free. Kaitlyn would get to lead a somewhat normal life but since she did the crime she wasn't going to get away with getting a clean record.

"I heard Kaitlyn is living with you and our family." Tanya said

"Yeah, she is." I said

"How is she doing?" Tanya asked.

"She'll manage. She has a baby girl." I said

Tanya seemed surprised to hear Kaitlyn had a baby girl, it was surprising since I didn't even know that much. I hated the fact I couldn't help her that much but I tried the best I could.I didn't know who her cellmate was or if he'd already got released looking for her. Kaitlyn didn't say anything like that but I was going to find a way. Truth as no girl yet had gotten away from her obsessive cellmate not even me.

"How are you doing?" Tanya finally asked "What?" I said surprised

"How are you? You were attracted to your cellmate for years and then your dream of him being your first happened even if not in the most romantic way." Tanya said

"I'm doing ok, he was released for serving his time." I said

Tanya looked at me concerned but there wasn't much I could say, he was Rei's father. Tanya knew that the baby was already born but she hadn't met him yet. I wondered if she saw him would she judge me for what happened. Probably not but the thought lingered a bit.

Tanya knew me better than anyone else so it wasn't surprising when she hugged me and I didn't even seem surprised. I hugged her back and I was glad that things were not going to be a shard as they used to be. Rei was at home with my parents and my brother so I knew that was what was going to be for awhile.

"Look when we're done here I'll drive you home and I want to meet the precious new boy." Tanya said

"Maybe, that's if his father doesn't come to try to pick me up." I said

We were laughing and joking as I started to get ready for my work and everything went smoothly as one can. I was glad that I didn't forget and got my figure back as I posed and soon before I knew it time was up. Atiyah had come back in to get something when I saw her just as I walked to the back and changed into my normal clothes. Mrs. Knight came over and hugged me which made me smile.

"Britt, thank you for the help. Please choose your favorites and take them with you." Mrs. Knight said

I was going to figure out but I did as I was heading out with Tanya but Atiyah got infront of me. I knew she was ready to say something to me when we heard someone clearing their throat. Looking behind her we saw Atem, I wasn't surprised.

"Babe, I figured you'd be here." Atem said looking straight at me.

"I haven't seen you in weeks." I said

Atem walked over to me as he kneeled down on one knee between me and Atiyah with a box in his hands. I merely looked at him wondering what the heck he was doing and why he was so persistent on trying to get me to be his wife. When he opened the box revealing the ring I was just speechless. It was a ring with diamonds with sapphires my birthstone.

"Britt, will you marry me?" Atem asked

Do I look like this is the most romantic spot. I thought

"Oh my gosh, that's a 37,386.43 Egyptian pounds." Tanya whispered

What do you think Britt's answer will be?

Ring example:
