National Cotton Candy Day
Head over to your local funfair for an airy, spun-sugar treat or whip up creative cakes and cocktails like cotton candy cupcakes and fairy floss martinis.
There exists in the world small clouds of utter delight, floating multicolored strands of spun-sugar all wrapped around a stick or served in a bag. Everything from the machine the produces this treat, to the men and women who operate it, and the very flavor it leaves in your mouth is purely magical.
When a treat has gained notoriety around the world and utterly defines what it means to attend a country fair, you know that it deserves a holiday of its very own. That’s where National Cotton Candy Day comes in, celebrating this best of the bestest treats!
Learn more about National Cotton Candy Day
Do you have a sweet tooth? If so, you’re going to love National Cotton Candy Day! You may think that the only type of people who don’t love National Cotton Candy Day is the dentists of the world! However, you may be surprised to learn that it was dentists who invented cotton candy, to begin with. Back in the day, it was known as fairy floss. Today, it is the go-to snack when going to a county fair. For most people, their childhood memories would simply be incomplete without this sugary delightful treat.
There are a number of different reasons why we can’t seem to get enough of candy floss! The main reason is that candy floss is essentially made from sugar, with the dye simply transforming the appearance of it. Who doesn’t like sugar? Another reason why we love candy floss is because of the appearance of it! It has a fun and exciting image. Did you know, though, that a cotton candy thread is thinner than a strand of human hair? Just because candy floss is thin does not mean it cannot be long. The longest cotton candy stretch over 1,400 meters. It was created back in July of 2009.
You may also be surprised to learn that cotton candy has different names all around the world. We love the name it has in France: barbe à papa. This means papa’s beard. It is known as suikerspin in the Netherlands, which means sugar spider. In Finland and Australia, it is still known as fairy floss. Moreover, in the UK, it is called candy floss, rather than cotton candy. If you are going to make your own cotton candy on this day, you may even want to come up with your own name for it!
History of National Cotton Candy Day
The history of National Cotton Candy Day is, quite simply, the history of cotton candy itself, and to find that history we’re going to have to dig a bit deeper than you might imagine. Unsurprising considering the number of names that the treat itself is known by, including candy cobwebs, hawai mithai, candy floss, and our personal favorite, fairy floss. So what are the origins of this treat? Well, it all depends on who you ask.
Cotton Candy is often suggested to have come into existence as a form of spun sugar in 19th century Europe, and back then it would have been as precious as gold. While today’s technology allows us to produce cotton candy with a simple machine and a little time, the process would have been incredibly labor-intensive and no doubt expensive, leaving Cotton Candy as the treat of the financial elite. Unsurprising considering that it was hand-spun at the time… Yes, you heard that right, by hand.
In 1897 the world of spun-sugar came to the masses when John C. Wharton and a dentist friend of his William Morrison (we’ll let you take a moment to suck in that irony) created a machine to make Cotton Candy and presented it at the 1904 World’s Fair. Since then it has exploded throughout the world and can be found in almost every culture you can imagine, from America to the Distant East.
How to celebrate National Cotton Candy Day
Celebrate National Cotton Candy Day by getting your favorite flavor and sharing it with friends. Ok, we’re just kidding, don’t share it, just eat it up until you can’t eat another bite, and write your dentist an apology note. Or, given that a dentist invented it, perhaps it’s you who deserves the apology note, hmm?
There are so many fun activities that you can try on National Cotton Candy Day. Of course, the goal is to always eat some cotton candy! But how about making your own? There are a lot of great recipes online that you can follow. Typically, you are going to need some food coloring, flavored extract such as raspberry extract, salt, water, corn syrup, and sugar. Recipes can differ, but these are the sort of ingredients you are going to need. You can have fun experimenting with your own candy floss recipes, and even more fun when you eat them afterward.
There are lots of exciting dessert recipes that call for the use of candy floss as well. This includes everything from cotton candy s’mores to cotton candy donuts and cupcakes! Sounds pretty delicious, right? The suggestions don’t end there either! You can make fairy floss whoopie pies, fairy floss ice cream sundaes, and much more!
Or, how about creating your own candy floss cocktail? There are lots of delicious options here too! This includes cotton candy champagne cocktails, prosecco and gin candy floss cocktails, and fairy floss martinis. There is something for everyone. Plus, if you are having friends around these sorts of drinks are certainly going to impress.

My love is here || jungkook x f reader | best friend au | unrequitedlove au || @solemnreads
Summary : "You didn’t mean for it to happen. It’s not like you purposely woke up one day and thought “Hey I’m going to fall in love with my best friend!” No, that is not at all what happened."

Curse me foolish Destiny || beast! jungkook x fairy! Reader | beauty and the beast au || @dat-town

Summary : You live in a world where people see in black and white. The solution to finally see the colors? It's simple.

One-shot :
This mortal coil || Alpha!Jungkook x Unspecified Wolf!Reader | werewolf au || @jinfizz
Summary: Some might say that being in love with your best friend is the single worst thing that can happen to you. That’s the least of your problems, though, because you’re still waiting to find your fated mate, you’re not getting any younger, and Jungkook is painfully, tragically human. Little do you know, your laundry list of problems is about to get a little bit longer–because there’s more to Jungkook than meets the eye.
Lost and found || Jungkook x reader | unrequited love au || @kooktrash
Summary : your college years have never been something you dwelled on for too long. you didn’t want to think of all the chances you lost and that’s why when the guy you had a crush on moves back to town, you try not to let it affect you again. but then he brings up old memories that didn’t go the way you thought they had and you’re thrown for a loop. you’re stuck between finding something new with him and falling back into old habits of never standing up for yourself. it probably doesn’t help that he dated your best friend, where everything seemed to go wrong.
Silent treatment || Jungkook x reader | Established relationship au || @thebangtancloud
Summary : You ruin the surprise he has planned for you and it's entirely his fault. Alternatively, Jungkook's silent treatment backfires terribly.

Easy || Jungkook x reader | college!au |fuckboy!au | bet!trope || @itsamejin
Summary : Date you, win a bet, get his rent paid off. Sounds promising enough, right? Jungkook should’ve known that his ambitions would end in disaster, but even if he did, that still wouldn’t have stopped him from pursuing you.
Seven storms || Jungkook x reader | forbidden love au || @wintaerbaer
Summary : As a young woman of considerable wealth, it has always been your father's expectation that you would marry one of the local aristocrats once you came of age. Your family's stable hand? Certainly not an option.

Oh Say Can You See
John Price x fem reader
cw: smut!! minors dni!, size difference (reader is described as small but dw there’s no infantilization), uuuh i think that’s it??
A/N: fuck the national anthem it’s a lana song. it’s been a while since i’ve written smut hope you enjoy anyway bless you all xx 🙏🏻
“Are you okay, love?” John asks you from where you’re laying on your side.
He’s all warmth and comfort, musk and tobacco and leather, a stark contrast between the feminine fruits and spring flowers and candy you enjoy wearing.
His voice is a quiet rumble, the crackle of a fireplace, the roar of an engine, the step on snow.
“Mhm, yeah,” you reply, sleepy and pliant, “Just really missed you.”
John lays on his side as well, cuddling you from behind. He’s always been the bigger spoon, arms and hands so large, so strong he can fully wrap them around your waist, cup your breasts in his palms, keep you to himself. His greed for you and your affection lodges in his throat.
You can feel him hardening against your back, and you stifle a small smile. “Go ahead, John, I’ve been waiting all day,” you whisper, your own desire sparkling in your belly, black milk and rose red and the veil of longing.
“God, you’re soaking. That needy pussy just needs some attention, huh?” His fingers slide against your slit gently as you whimper an affirmative and lift your leg a bit to give him access.
“I can take you, John, really, you can just slide in,” you mumble, stroking at his thigh greedily.
“Are you sure, sweetheart? You’re so small and I haven’t prepped you, you know it might hurt…”
Concern laces his voice like poison ivy. It almost makes you melt — he’s always been like this from the moment you two got together, soft care and love so strong it almost suffocates you.
“Yeah, I’m sure. I played with myself earlier..”
“Okay then,” he permits. He taps the head of his dick over your pussy, still not going in, syrupy whines escaping your throat.
And then his cock notches at your leaky entrance, slowly going in, and every little nag and annoying pesky thought hide somewhere in the back of your head.
“Oh,” you gasp and look down to where you two are connected.
John isn’t very long, but he’s thick, thick enough that you feel the stretch every single time you have sex. He carves out a place for himself in you, Galatea and Pygmalion, gentle marble across your legs (his large hands completely envelop the expanse of your thighs, leaving galaxy marks in his wake).
“Yeah,” John breathes, heavy, grunting out a response, “That’s it. Almost there, love, you can take it. Shit, you’re tight…”
You mewl, hands scraping for purchase against the duvet as he runs his fingers through your hair, his beard tickling your neck, whispering cotton candy filth in your ear. You know he’s already pushed in as you feel his heavy balls snug against your ass.
“There you go. Feels good, eh?”
“It does,” you whimper. There’s the slightest touch of too much, tiniest specks of pain, but they’re quickly chased away by the time John starts thrusting lazily. You’re not gonna last long, and if John’s satisfied grunts are anything to go by, he isn’t, either.
You grab his thick arm from where it’s perched over the gentle curve of your waist, delicate wrist teasing the underside of his palm and intertwining your fingers.
You’ve never felt more at home. You’re exactly where you need and want to be, ballad-like moans and late comfortable nights, devoted eyes and lust as a virtue. John’s filling you up just right, quenching the thirst that has simmered in you all day, pushing you off the edge.
John’s other hand reaches around and starts playing with your clit, just enough pressure in circles to bring you over the edge. He always goes the extra mile when it comes to expressing his love through pleasure, making your legs shake, newborn fawn, you are, seeing constellations and new planets beneath your eyelids.
“I’m gonna cum,” you murmur.
“Go ahead, baby. I missed you so, so much, my beautiful girl,” John rasps, peppering small kisses on the canvas of your neck.
There it is — the explosion of feeling and love and pleasure in your tummy, crawling down your legs and up your arms, making you moan and fist the sheet under your body.
Your orgasm pushes John to the edge, and you can feel his spend spilling in the crevice of your cunt, loud groans echoing in the corners of your ears, arms tightening around your small frame. That’s his favorite place to cum in, warm velvet around him, all that love that burns like a motor in his skin.
John pulls out slowly and lovingly cleans you up as your consciousness slips away from you. It’s been a long, long day, and the great sex is but your favorite way to release tension and put you in that space between wake and sleep.
The afterglow sneaks its way in your vein as you lay across John’s thick, hairy chest and close your eyes. This is your favorite time of day, all warm and snug and happy.
“Go to sleep, sweetheart.”
His caress always feels like a blanket, a balm to soothe your wounds, a hazy morning dream you don’t want to wake up. It makes you all the more grateful, lying with the man you love in a space you two made.

𝓖𝓸𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓪𝓽 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓪𝓶𝓾𝓼𝓮𝓶𝓮𝓷𝓽 𝓹𝓪𝓻𝓴 𝔀𝓲𝓽𝓱 𝓐𝓬𝓮
Character : Ace & fem.reader
c.w : just pure fluff with our national golden retriever.
With both of you being busy and exhausted, Ace came up with the idea of an amusement park date. He knew that you both loved the thrill of roller coasters and the excitement of carnival games, and he thought it would be a fun way to relax and de-stress.
You were skeptical at first. You were both so tired, and you didn't know if you had the energy to run around an amusement park all day. But Ace was persuasive (how can you say no to this man ?), and he eventually convinced you.
On the day of your date, you woke up early and got dressed. You wanted to look good for your man, even though you were both going to be sweating and covered in sugar from all the rides and snacks.
When you arrived at the amusement park, Ace was already there waiting for you. He had big bags of cotton candy in each hand, and he gave you one as soon as you saw him.
You and Ace will ride every roller coaster in the park and scream your lungs out. You'll start with the tame ones, just to warm up. But then you'll move on to the big ones, the ones that make your heart race and your palms sweat. You'll laugh and scream and hold on to each other for dear life as you race through the loops and corkscrews.
After this, you and Ace will call Luffy and Sabo to tease them about not being there.
“Hey Luffy !” Ace says, “you're missing out on an amazing day. We're at the amusement park, riding all the roller coasters and eating all the junk food.”
“Sounds like a blast” Luffy says. “But I'm having my own kind of fun. I'm eating all the meat!”
“Yeah, right” Ace says. “You're probably just sitting at home, watching anime and eating chips.”
“Oi!” Luffy replies. “I'm not that lazy.”
“Sure you're not,” Ace says. “But whatever you're doing, you're missing out on a great time.”
Ace then calls Sabo and tells him the same thing. Sabo says that he's busy with work (as usual), but he wishes he could be there.
You spent the whole day riding roller coasters and playing carnival games. You laughed until your sides hurt, and felt like a kid again.
At the end of your journey, Ace will convince you to ride the big wheel. You're a little nervous, but Ace assures you that it will be fun.
As the gondola begins to move upwards, you feel your heart pounding in your chest. You look out the window and see the amusement park growing smaller and smaller below you. You can see all the rides and games, and the people milling about.
Ace turns to you and smiles. “It's beautiful, isn't it?” he asks.
You nod. “It is,”.
You continue to ascend, until you're at the top of the big wheel. The gondola sways gently in the breeze, and you can feel the warmth of Ace's body next to you.
You look out at the view. The city lights stretch out before you, sparkling like diamonds. You can see the river winding its way through the city, and the mountains in the distance.
“It's breathtaking,” you say.
Ace's arm, strong and steady, wrapped around your waist, pulling you closer into his embrace. His eyes, deep pools of desire, held yours captive, their intensity making your breath catch in your throat.
As his face inched closer, you felt the warmth of his breath against your skin, sending shivers down your spine. His lips, soft and inviting, met yours in a searing kiss that ignited a fire within you.
The kiss was a symphony of passion, a dance of tongues that explored the depths of each other's souls. Your hands tangled in his hair, pulling him closer, deepening the connection that was rapidly igniting into something more profound.
Time seemed to melt away, the sounds of the amusement park fading into a distant hum as you lost yourselves in the world of each other's touch. His kisses were intoxicating, a blend of tenderness and desire that made your heart race and your legs turn to jelly.
When he finally pulled away, his eyes were ablaze with passion, his lips swollen and tempting. You gazed back at him, your own heart pounding in your chest, a smile playing on your lips.
“I love you, princess” Ace says.
“I love you too, so much” you replied, your voice barely above a whisper.
You leaned in again, your lips seeking his once more, and the kiss that followed was even more passionate than the first. It was a kiss that spoke volumes, a kiss that expressed the unspoken love that burned between you. As the gondola began its descent back to earth, you pulled away, breathless and flushed.
At the end of the day, you were both exhausted, but you were also incredibly happy. You had spent the entire day with the person you adored, doing the things you both loved. And that was the best part of all.
As you and Ace walked hand-in-hand out of the amusement park, you looked back at all the rides and games you had experienced together. You couldn't believe how much fun you had.
“I'm so glad you convinced me to come here,” you said to Ace. “This was the best date ever.”
Ace smiled and kissed your forehead. “I'm glad you liked it,” he said. “I knew it would be the perfect way for us to relax and have some fun.”
You and Ace continued walking, your arms still linked. You talked about all the rides you had been on and the games you had played. You knew that no matter what challenges life threw your way, you would always have each other.
And that was the most important thing of all.

National Cotton Candy Day
Today celebrates cotton candy, a popular confection at fairs, circuses, and amusement parks, that is almost all sugar. There is some indication that cotton candy originated from “spun sugar” in Europe in the 19th century. But, the story and creation of machine-spun cotton candy as we know it goes back to a handful of people at the turn of the 20th century, some of whom were, ironically, dentists. In 1897, confectioner John C. Wharton and dentist William Morrison invented the electric-spinning cotton candy machine, which they filed a patent for. At the 1904 World’s Fair, The Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, they introduced their confection as “fairy floss.” They sold more than 68,000 boxes of their treat, at 25 cents a box, for a total of more than $17,000. Similarly, Thomas Patton also experimented in heating sugar to create cotton candy. His creation debuted at the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus around 1900. Some sources conflate the Patton story with the Wharton and Morrison story, and some also claim it was Patton’s machine that was used at the World’s Fair, after it was tweaked by the Electric Candy Machine Company. Whatever the case, it is clear that cotton candy debuted sometime around the turn of the 20th century.
Although the confection had been created, it did not yet have the name cotton candy. Another dentist, Josef Lascaux, built a machine and sold the treat to patients in his Louisiana office. It is believed that he is the one that changed the name to “cotton candy,” in 1921. In 1949, Gold Medal Products created an improved cotton candy machine that had a spring base, and most cotton candy machines are still made by this company today. Cotton candy machines are operated by putting a sugar called floss sugar into a small spinning bowl which heats it up. As it spins and heats, it gets pulled out into a larger outer bowl by centrifugal force, where it solidifies in the air, and is caught by a stick or cone. Although cotton candy consists almost entirely of sugar, it is now most times flavored and colored, with two of the most popular varieties being blue raspberry and pink vanilla.
How to Observe National Cotton Candy Day
Celebrate the day by eating cotton candy. Oftentimes it can be bought premade at a store. Although most commercial cotton candy machines are quite expensive, those for everyday residential use are not. You could celebrate the day by buying one and making your own cotton candy.

Fanfiction: The Cleat Chasing Job (9688 words) by Alecto
Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Jounouchi Katsuya | Joey Wheeler/Kaiba Seto Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Leverage Fusion, Aged-Up Character(s), Developing Relationship, Baseball, Explicit Sexual Content, Sexual Roleplay, Dirty Talk, Writing on the Body, Object Insertion, Scent Kink, Feminization, Anal Sex, Barebacking, Creampie, Sex Toys, Multiple Orgasms, Overstimulation, Wet & Messy
Series: Part 7 of Bad guys have more fun
Summary:
Months ago, Jounouchi enjoyed a brief stint as the rising star of a minor league baseball team. It was for a job, and he'd nearly forgotten about it until he dug up a fan jersey from the depths of Seto's closet. No reason they can't have a little fun with it.
This one's dedicated to @unfriendlyamazon, who really helped me take this idea and run with it. <3
---
Seto pulled a face. Metal clunked as he sagged against the locker. "Baseball's still boring."
Aghast, Jounouchi jabbed an accusatory finger at the other man. "You did not just call our national pastime boring."
"Well, it is," insisted Seto. "It's boring, and so long. And it's hot out there."
That last complaint came as a surprise. Turns out Seto was not as unmoved by the sub-tropical heat as he appeared.
Jounouchi slammed the locker shut, another nothing burger, and climbed to his feet.
Upon closer examination, Seto didn't stand as straight or tall as he usually did. He was slumped as if in a sulk. He also didn't sport a touch of leather for once, choosing more breathable cotton, though his jeans were as skinny as always. It was probably his concession to the weather. His brow even boasted a few dots of sweat.
At this hour of the day, the locker room itself resembled a sauna.
Acting on reflex, Jounouchi tugged at the hem of his player's jersey several times to cool himself. When it barely helped, he yanked it up to wipe the sweat accumulating on his forehead. He dropped it to find Seto staring intensely at him, leering eyes drifting back and forth between Jounouchi's collar and beltline. His skin crawled. It was as if the hacker was undressing him with his eyes.
