[zephyrrhiesfyrian]

Chimkin update! :D

Sweet baby Morgoth the Destroyer sitting with her mother <3 She'll come running when my sister goes out to the coop >v>

Snowflake and Pretty Boy on patrol around the coop, being such responsible and protective roosters.

Jeff is filthy from digging and a sibling looks on in alarm.

A new named fledgling! This is Olive; she's friends with Morgy and has started to follow my sister around like Morgy does :D She's still not quite as comfortable being held or petted like Morgoth is, though.

Morgy demands pets and attention.

Morgy and Olive together; Morgy's a bit smaller due to her scissor-beak making it more difficult for her to eat, but she's still growing well :3

Cinnamon is still putting herself in charge of watching the fledglings.

Hennifer the maybe-hen/maybe-rooster being utterly massive. The ultimate unit.

Bean, the blessed child, always giving such sass.

Grub is also a chonk.

You've heard of worm-on-a-string, get ready for Worm on a swing. :)

They tend to roost in pairs: Grub and Worm, Jeff and Bird, Snowflake and Pretty Boy. And then another friend that I can't see well enough to name lol

A stand off between I believe Peanut and Walnut.

Grub has found a crevice to crawl into.

Indominus Rex is finally starting to look like a proper chicken and not a crow! She's very beautiful uwu

Bean and Roostifer stare contest.

Nugget and Indominus napping while Cinnamon flaps frantically

Hillary Cluck, one of the Legbars.

Please say hello to Dai, one of our two lavender Ameraucanas.

Wave, our other lavender girl, fighting with siblings over something.

Yes, I have been given permission to name more chickens after transformers. The lavender girls are very majestic and beautiful, and I thought naming them after the Senator boys, Dai Atlas and Shockwave, was fitting >v>

Fortress Maximus and his little white glove-wings. A sweet baby. :3

[blimbo-buddy]

you made him so.small and cute gough i need to rock him like a baby so he can fall asleep.......

Thank you Oliver, drawing DarkStripe at any stage in life is fantastic that dude is always meant to look like a fat grub

Here's a glimpse into an alternate world where SpottedLeaf didn't suffer from fears of taking an apprentice (due to ThistleClaw) and did end up taking DarkPaw as one. Maybe his Medic name would be DarkBerry

(I got this info from the wiki, take it with a grain of salt I could be wrong)

So. Limes.

I think because we never see living limes in the comic, a lot of people remember Calliope's blood color and assume that's what lime was before they were wiped out.

BUT!

We do actually get to see the lime caste's hue in the comic

It's not neon!!!

And I personally headcanon that, after being removed from the gene pool, lime eventually just... came back. Gold and olive cusped enough times to reproduce the lime caste.

I imagine that at first, it was still compulsory to get rid of any lime grubs that appeared, but eventually the empire realized it was a futile effort, and if limes started leaking out of the caverns it was going to look really bad for them-- if lowbloods saw that an imperial law could be evaded, what would stop them from trying harder to rebel?

So to save face, the empire acted like this was what they meant to do. The pacifying powers typical of the caste were far less common now, so sure. Limes can return to the population. That was actually our goal the whole time, see?

Because the caste is still repopulating, it's common to see limebloods with other mutations-- they're especially more likely than other castes to have white hair, for example. Due to this and the stigma surrounding their blood color, many find roles within the Fleet or other high-ranking bodies to gain options and protection.

Modern day limes are still looked upon with derision and disdain, denied opportunities, and culled in some caverns, but they are no longer being hunted at large.

Diner Girl PT 1

🦆: First Post in awhile took a break as I was busy with work but I'm back now with lots of things in my drafts to keep me busy

Pairing: Tig Trager x FemOC (can be read as xreader)

Summary: Tig meets a cute waitress

MainMasterlist || Series Masterlist

Tig sees a diner on the way back from a run for the club and notices a cute little waitress in the window and thought this seems like a great place to stop for some grub. Approaching the counter, Tig flashes the waitress a warm smile. He then orders a coffee and takes a seat, keeping his eyes on the girl as she tends to the few other patrons in the small diner.

As he finishes his coffee, Tig decides to make a move. Rising from his seat, he walks over to the counter where the waitress is wiping down glasses and taking orders from a man in a suit. Tig, leaning on the counter in a laidback manner catches the waitress looking at him out of the corner of her eye and smiles. She returns the smile and continues working. Tig decides to see if he can strike up a conversation.

Looking down at the waitress, Tig speaks in a gentle and friendly tone.

"Hey there, you seem like a sweet girl, what's your name?"

The waitress takes a moment to glance at Tig, seemingly surprised by the question. However, her warmth and sweetness never leave her expression as she answers.

"Oh, I'm Grace.. Nice to meet you...."

"I'm Alex"

Tig smiles warmly, liking the girl's name and her friendly attitude.

"EXCUSE ME DO THEY PAY YOU TO IGNORE CUSTOMERS IN THIS DUMP OR DO YOU JUST HATE YOUR JOB?"

The man in the suit loudly exclaims to the room with a sour expression on his face

Startled by the man's sudden outburst, Tig looks up at him and gives him a stern glare. The waitress quickly turns to face the man in the suit, looking annoyed with his behavior. Tig turns his attention back to the waitress.

"Relax, buddy. This is a small, family-run diner. If you're looking for customer service, try the Olive Garden or something. Now, why don't you go back to your table and let Grace do her job in peace hmm?"

Tig says confidently, shooting a sharp glance at the rude customer.

The man seems surprised by Tig's bold response and grumbles to himself before going back to his table. Grace quickly looks up at Tig, clearly appreciating the sweet way he defended her. She smiles at Tig and nods her thanks. Tig smiles back, then continues to talk with the young waitress.

Tig likes talking with Grace, enjoying how genuine and kind-hearted she is. She's a nice girl, he thinks, and way nicer than any girl he's ever been with before. He can feel a strange connection with her, something that he's never felt before. He's drawn to her in a way that he can't quite explain.

The two chat for a while longer and Tig's charm seems to be working as Grace becomes more and more comfortable with him. As she leans on the counter, Tig puts his hand on her elbow to get her attention. He leans in close and says quietly,

"Can I ask you something?"

Grace looks up at him, and the look in her eyes makes his heart flutter. He thinks she is the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. He nods slowly as he waits for her reply, and Grace smiles sweetly as she whispers,

"Sure, what is it?"

Tig's heart starts pounding as the tension mounts, and he takes a beat before finally asking the question that's been haunting him.

"Would you wanna go out sometime?"

As the words leave his mouth, his stomach clenches with nerves, and his brain feels like it's short-circuiting from the rush of adrenalin. He can't believe he just asked her that, but he felt like he had no choice. As the diner gets quiet and Grace thinks about his question, Tig can hardly breathe.

Time period post: Food

Some of my time period posts will be more researched than others, ones like this one are more of a quick reminder/research starter. This is just a quick burst of general information that might help out with writing and used by my general knowledge. I didn’t feel the need to get off into the weeds with this one as it’s a smaller detail and food is usually mentioned in works and not the point you know?

Entertainment/social food-

When we think of food in the 1960s there are two things to keep in mind; Post ww2 and the rise of convenience.

This is the age of drugged out of your mind jello nightmares people! Whole lot of reasons for that, drugs plays a part but additionally is a rise of a lot of new products and companies throwing ideas at the wall and seeing what recipes stick/people actually make.

However, if you think all food during this period was disgusting and weird that’s not exactly the case. A lot of the gross options are ‘stunt’/ entertainment food. The jello molds and weird shaped foods were usually for throwing parties and having something new or nice to look at, not what was eaten everyday or exactly enjoyed by anyone. The 40s-60s were a huge time for parties, dinner parties, hosting and entertaining people - usually middle or upper class adults. Soc’s would have a ton of new appetizers and finger food related stuff, cooked instead of just chips at a party (though included).

Grape jelly meatballs (which are great), pigs in a blanket, onion dip etc.

They were really into onion dip it was the hot thing for some fucking reason.

Convenience -

The 1960s also saw a huge rise in snack foods, fast food and quick canned or boxed food. Tv dinners started in the previous decade but particularly took off during this time- images of the family gathered around the television set for a nice program eating off trays etc.

Lunch meat! Rise in deli meats but also some more processed stuff such as baloney, olive loaf etc. (if you want to get into class a Soc might bring a turkey sandwich where a Greaser would bring a baloney sandwich for lunch)

Meals for the large part were still homemade, cake mixes were becoming a bit more of a thing but making from scratch was still a preference for most people.

I really recommend looking up recipes from the period, not just the stunt food/marketing strategy stuff but things people would actually make on the day to day. (Like for example the Brothers made a regular baked chicken dinner)

Fast food goes alongside convenience however they were more of a treat than the day to day, people would still prefer a slower sit down dinner setting. It’s a third place! Teens at dinners, drive ins (both kinds), malt shops, soda fountains etc as not only a place to grab grub but hang out!

- like how the socs and greasers each have their own bars and dinners as hang outs.

Taken by a WPA photographer between 1935 and 1941, this picture shows diners at Aunt Dinah's Kitchen in Harlem. Established by Richard Huey, an actor in the Harlem theater scene, it was located in the basement of 172 West 135th Street, next to the YMCA. As the sign indicates, it was the go-to dining spot for Harlem's theater folk in the 1930s and 1940s. It also hosted one-act plays and forums and supported actors who needed a free meal.

From 1933 until Huey's death in 1948, the restaurant's “down-home grub” drew such luminaries as Rose McClendon, Ethel Waters, Langston Hughes, Carl Van Vechten, Juano Hernandez, Richard B. Harrison, Olive Borden, Georgette Harvey, Countee Cullen, Claude McKay, Frederick O’Neal, Count Basie, and others to his “hangout for hams.”

The family-style dining room attracted both locals and theater stars. Inspired by his roots in Monroe, Louisiana, Huey lined the walls with newspaper as a tribute to the restaurant walls back home which used the papers "partly to keep the wind out and partly for decoration."
