National Ice Cream Day
On National Ice Cream Day, which takes place on December 13, you probably won’t hear the ice cream truck, with its delightful tune, roll through your neighborhood. (There’s another National Ice Cream Day in July for that.) Your favorite ice cream shop may even be closed for the season! But it’s still a perfectly good reason to get a pint or three (who’s counting) of the good stuff to share with your friends and family.
National Ice Cream Day timeline
500 BC
Invention of Ice Cream
People of the Persian Empire started making ice cream. by pouring concentrate of grape juice over snow.
1846
Ice Cream Maker Patented
Nancy Johnson invents and patents the first hand-cranked ice cream maker.
1978
Ben & Jerry's
Ben took a $5 course on ice-cream making and opened the first Ben & Jerry's in a converted Burlington gas station.
2001
Dairy Dream
8.9% of the milk produced in the U.S. was used to make frozen dairy products.
National Ice Cream Day Activities
Try a new flavor: There are hundreds of flavors of ice cream beyond just chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. If you’re feeling zesty, find a parlor that offers lemon meringue, or even horseradish ice cream. Or, if seafood is more your thing, find one of the joints on the east coast that serve up lobster ice cream. If you don’t like it, at least you can say you tried.
Go old school: Before the commercial success of ice cream in America in the 1800s, ice cream was typically reserved as a special summertime treat. But now, thanks to simple and cheap at-home devices, you can make whatever flavor you want. All you need is eggs, milk, cream, sugar, and the flavorings of your choice. It may take longer than a quick trip to the grocery store, but it’s a fun way to enjoy this cold confection.
Volunteer in your community: Serving ice cream is a tried and true way to bring a community together. This may be at the ice cream parlor in a local assisted living center, or perhaps at a free ice cream giveaway at the park, funded by donations. However you do it, the community will be brought closer together by this longtime summer food favorite.
Why We Love National Ice Cream Day
It makes us happy: Now this may seem a bit too obvious, but ice cream makes us happy. If you need proof, just ask some of the neuroscientists over at the University of Sussex in England. In one study, the scientists found that vanilla ice cream activates a part of the brain called the orbitofrontal cortex. In simpler terms, when we eat ice cream, the pleasure center of our brain lights up. This is great news. Thanks science.
It’s social: Whether we’re scrambling down the street chasing the ice cream truck or meeting up with friends at the local dairy, ice cream is more than just a cool treat — it’s a social outing. You can’t beat a shared banana split. Need a place where three generations of a family can all find something they want? An ice cream parlor’s the place to be.
There are endless varieties: Almost as soon as ice cream was sold in America, people started adding new flavors and experimenting with the creation process. Now, more than 200 years later, it’s hard to imagine a flavor of ice cream that’s yet to be invented. Bacon, garlic, wasabi, and fish egg ice cream flavors are all out there at the moment, just to name a few.

untouchable - trevor zegras
next part
in which, lola hughes could never date her big brothers best friend. he was untouchable in every sense of the word.
Tumblr media
going to the lake house had always been lola’s favourite time of the year. she didn’t think she could love it anymore, that was, until trevor zegras started showing up every year about four years ago.
from the second the girl saw the boy, him being 18 and her 15 at the time, she was completely infatuated.
but over the years, her infatuation began to become tormenting. her brothers had their suspicions. they all knew her like the back of their hands, so, it was completely out of the ordinary when the outgoing girl suddenly became shy and introverted every time the zegras boy was around. they found it amusing, especially since not only would trevor never feel the same (meaning he wasn’t allowed to feel the same) but he was also completely oblivious to the fact.
so, after years of torment, lola knew that this year was going to be no different. in fact, it was probably going to be worse.
her parents had decided to take a summer trip to europe, which meant that the amount of her brothers friends that would be staying at the lake house would be amplified. which meant, she was only going to become more invisible than she already was.
she was the first to arrive that summer, being able to finally drive by herself after the impossible mission which was getting her license. she had gotten frozen yoghurt from the shop just a few mere minutes away from the house and was currently sat at the kitchen table eating it whilst scrolling tiktok aimlessly, awaiting the arrival of her brothers who she hadn’t seen since christmas.
the door opened, announcing the arrival of the first hughes brother, which happened to be luke. and by the sounds of loud laughter, he wasn’t alone.
“lolly!” luke exclaimed when he saw his younger sister sitting by her lonesome. looking up from her phone, she smiled at her brother and the four other boys who were with him. she recognised one as dylan duke, luke’s best friend for like forever, but she wasn’t sure who the others were.
“is that frozen yoghurt?” one of the boys asked. the girl nodded at her head, looking down at the frozen yoghurt that she was finished with before sliding it over to him. the boy thanked her loudly before grabbing the cup and taking the seat next to her. “mark.” the boy introduced himself, mouth full of mango flavoured sorbet. “lola.” the brunette girl smiled back.
“fine, i’ll take your shit upstairs, no worries man.” ethan rolled his eyes at his friend before walking passed the two and up to where all the bedroom were. luke followed, ruffling up his sisters hair as he did so.
“god, ethan has been grumpy the entire trip.” mark complained, offering lola some of her own frozen yoghurt, to which she denied. “he turned off the radio once i started singing along, i took it personally.” dylan told the girl as he sat down on the other side of her.
“and for that, we are eternally grateful.” the last boy smiled sarcastically before also taking his belongings upstairs. “was he also grumpy the entire trip?” lola asked as she watched the boy leave. “no, mackie is in a permanent state of grump.”
lola laughed before the three fell into a comfortable small talk. they asked her questions about college, scrunching up their face when she told them she would be going to boston, they then proceeded to call her a traitor and would seek her out at every hockey game to remind her. they were even more offended when she told them that she had also gotten into michigan, but had still chosen to go to boston.
the front door had opened once more, interrupting the trios new conversation about what they wanted to do that summer.
jack entered, followed by alex and cole. lola jumped from her seat at the sight of the caulfield boy. “coley!” she exclaimed before tackling him in a suffocating hug. jack scoffed from behind the two, hating how his little sister liked his best friend more than him. “rude.”
“sorry jack, you’re so right.” lola smiled at her older brother before turning to alex, also jumping him in a hug. jack only rolled his eyes before travelling over to the fridge and opening it. “there’s no food.”
“go get some then.” lola shot back, crossing her arms when jack looked over at her with an expectant look. “but i don’t know what to get.”
“get food.” lola retorted like it was obvious. “can you go and get it?” he asked. “no, why is that my job?” lola shot back.
and alas, summer had finally began when lola and jack began to argue. the sun beamed hot and the boat swayed calmly in the water at the sound of the two bickering.
jack had stopped arguing, opting to just holding his card out to the girl. cole and alex, who saw this every year, smiled at the refreshing sight. lola eyed the card before snatching it out of his hand. “fine, but i’m buying myself something pretty.”
“we’ll come with you.” dylan spoke from the kitchen counter, mark nodding his head as they both got up from their spot. “thank you, new found friends.”
what was supposed to be a short trip to the grocery store, ended up a thirty minute food run and a two hour target adventure. lola had quickly realised that both mark and dylan were the perfect enablers to all her bad decisions. they had run around target like children without adult supervision until a worker had told them to leave.
coming back to the lake house, there were a few more cars outside and a lot more noise inside. all the boys were huddled in the living room when the three arrived back home, yelling at a tv screen which had a very intense game of mario kart playing on it.
“quinny!” lola exclaimed before jumping on the boy. quinn laughed before moving his sister beside him and wrapping an arm around her. lola loved all her brothers equally, but quinn was very obviously her favourite. “hi lolly.”
“really? i didn’t even get a hug!” jack exclaimed from the other side of the room. “i didn’t even get a hello!” luke countered. lola shrugged nonchalantly before refocusing her attention back to the screen.
“i got next.” trevor told everyone as he walked into the room. lola tensed at the sight of the boy, quinn laughing at her reaction silently. trevor glanced at the girl, his signature smile overtaking his face as he saw her. “what’s up, littlest hughes?”
she hated how he called her that. it reminded her of how he was never going to see her as anything but his best friends little sister. he couldn’t even call her by her name? really?!
“hi, z.” the girls voice was quiet, but just loud enough for everyone paying attention to hear it. those people being her brothers and mark, the estapa boy frowning at her reaction.
“babe!” a high pitched voice rang across the room as a bleached blonde, model type woman walked into the room. at the sight of one of the boys girlfriends, excitement filled lola up at the fact that she might not be the only girl here this summer. she could actually do things she wanted to do now, like get her nails done or tan.
but when trevors head perked up, and he got up from his spot on the floor to make his way over to the unknown girl, all excitement left her body. she watched intently as the two shared words before trevor nodded his head and guided his girlfriend up the stairs by the small of her back.
“whose that?” lola whispered to her older brother, who quickly took his eyes off the game to glance over to the retreating couple. “her names hayley, she’s trevor’s new girlfriend. she’s real nice, i’m sure you’d like her.” but as lola nodded her head stiffly, crossing her arms and sinking into the couch, quinn realised how wrong he was.
later that night, all the boys had retreated outside to play a game of.. well, lola wasn’t sure what it was but they basically just kicked a ball around. she had been playing with them all before jack kicked the ball too hard at her head, causing her to fall on the concrete and bust up her knees. after that, she had opted to sitting on the sidelines and watching.
she had been so caught up at quinn and luke avenging her by pegging the ball so hard at jack that he yelped every time they got their hands on it, that she didn’t even notice the boy approaching her.
“hey, littlest hughes.” she smiled up at the zegras boy, “i brought you a little something.” the boy took a seat beside her before handing her a bag of frozen peas. “stupid jack, always doing something to annoy me.” she said before taking the bag of peas. “thank you.”
she couldn’t help but gaze like a lovesick puppy at the boy, who paid no mind to the way she looked at him as he laughed at her remark.
“you know i’ll always be here to give you frozen peas when jack injures you. happens at least once every summer.”
this was true. jack had a habit of hurting his younger sister every summer, purposefully or accidentally. it didn’t matter, it just always happened somehow. one summer, he had to save her from drowning as she sprained her ankle when jack pushed her into the water. she still remembers how angry quinn was, it makes her laugh to this day. but everytime, trevor always showed up with a bag of frozen peas, whether she was crying in her bedroom or laying hopelessly on the floor of the kitchen.
“at least we got it out of the way this summer.” lola shrugged. “eh, it’ll probably happen again. you’re accident prone.” trevor laughed. lola scoffed loudly before hitting him in the arm repeatedly with the bag of peas. this only enhanced his laughter as the two began to hit each other with the same bag of peas.
“babe,” hayley approached the two, raising an eyebrow at the twos pea fight. lola felt as if she had been caught in the act, but trevor was nonchalant as he looked up at his girlfriend. “the boys want you back.”
trevor nodded as he climbed to his feet, “let me know when those ones melt, i’ll give you a fresh batch.” he winked playfully at the hughes girl before running back to his friends. both hayley and lola watched him leave with similar smiles before the blonde girl took a seat beside lola.
“hi lola.” she greeted. “hi hayley.” lola greeted back, an awkward smile displayed on her face. the two fell into an uncomfortable silence. hayley was the first to break it. “so, how long have you had a crush on trevor?”
out of all the questions she could have asked, this was the one that lola was least expecting. she almsot spit out her glass of water she was sipping on. "e-excuse me?"
hayley laughed at her response, "please, i see the way you look at him. plus, trev told me how you follow him around all summer. i think it's cute, really." lola couldn't tell if she was being genuine or not, which only make her more intimidated by the girl in front of her. "but hey, we've all been there, right?"
now, lola was even more confused. "been where?"
"had a crush on someone would never want us back."
god every word that left the girls mouth made lola's skin crawl. she wanted to punch the girl in the face, but lola also knew she was right.
"i mean, it's not like trevor would ever want you back. he's your brother's best friend and he's with me now."
lola nodded her head along to the girl's words, her mind running a million miles a minute. "i'm glad you understand that. see ya 'round." and with that, hayley was walking over to the group of boys to watch from a closer angle.
she wasn't sure if she should be mad or upset by the girl's words. i mean, everything she had told her she already knew. but she didn't need to be confronted about it. and trevor had told her that she followed him around all summer? that was probably what hurt her the most. she thought her and trevor were hanging out, but he apparently found it more annoying than he let on.
looking over at the group of boys, lola's faced etched in a large frown, she made eye contact with luke. her brother tilted his head in questioning, to which she just shook her head in response. the boy's eyes found hayley, narrowing them at the girl before flipping her off when she wasn't looking. this produced a small laugh from the youngest hughes sister, which allowed luke to return to his game with a content smile.
"hey, i brought you this." lola's eyes snapped over to mark, who was standing over her with a bag of frozen carrots. his eyes fell to the bag of frozen peas in her hand, and his smile dropped. "oh, nevermind."
lola's eyes fleeted over to trevor, who was watching the interaction with a furrowed brow. "these one's are melted anyways, thank you." lola smiled back up at mark, taking the carrots from his hand and placing the peas onto the table.
mark's face lit up as he took a seat next to the younger hughes girl. the two sat in a comfortable silence, watching the game unravelling before them.
"did you want to go get frozen yoghurt?" mark suddenly asked, catching lola off guard as her head snapped over to him. the boy looked nervous, which was so unlike the boy she saw in target today throwing weighted blankets on top of dylan to make him fall over. she smiled shyly at him, nodding her head before standing up and grabbing his hand. both of their faces heated into a red hue, as lola guided him through the house and out the front door to his car.
trevor watched the two leave, a little hurt at the disregard of his frozen peas. it was a hughes summer lake house tradition, and she had broken it for some lousy carrots.
"z! throw the damn ball, bro!" alex exclaimed. trevor rolled his eyes before throwing the ball and turning his attention to jack. "your sister just left hand in hand with that estapa kid."
"who? mark?" luke hadn't meant to eavesdrop in on the conversation, but when he heard both his sister and his best friend being mentioned, he couldn't help himself. trevor nodded his head in response. he knew how protective the three brothers, especially jack, were over their little sister, which is why he brought it up in the first place.
"mark's a cool guy." luke shrugged his shoulders, "and lola can do whatever she wants." this wasn't the reaction trevor was hoping for, but he wasn't sure why he was hoping for the opposite.
"why do you care, anyways?" jack asked, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion. sure, he didn't want his sister getting into a relationship, but he would deal with that later. however, he wasn't going to let trevor, the boy he knew lola had liked for years, ruin her fun.
"i don't, man. just thought i would let you know." trevor shrugged, before walking off to find his own girlfriend.
when the boy was finally out of ear sight, jack pulled his phone out of his pocket. "what are you doing?" luke asked his older brother.
"telling lola that she better not be doing anything she shouldn't be."

Welcome to the Black Bird Part 4: Wesley the Chilling
Summary: Introducing Nozel as Wesley, the dashing but ice-cold butler from the Black Bird. Genre: general Word count: ~850 A/N: @cringeyvanillamilk is again the artist for this fic's art.
..........
Silver hair spread out around the head like a crown, or perhaps a halo. No, not a halo, as they belonged to spirits that passed on, not this person. Eyes closed as if in sleep. Yes, merely sleep. Arms laid on either side, impossibly still but with a steady pulse felt through warm skin.
Acier Silva slept soundly. As she had been for nearly two years.
Nozel reached out and brushed Acier’s bangs aside. After tucking the strands back, Nozel paused and lamented that it used to be the other way around. Acier had done this very thing for him all his childhood. And now…
“Don’t worry, Mother. It’s my turn to take care of you,” Nozel whispered to her.
Acier didn’t answer of course. She couldn’t but Nozel still spoke to her regularly on the doctor’s suggestion. Outside stimuli was recommended for Acier’s brain activity. The doctor’s also said that it would give Nozel an outlet for his feelings. Even if Nozel’s visits to the hospital helped his mother’s recovery, it didn’t do anything about what caused Acier to fall into her present state. He needed to find out the truth…
Once he left the hospital, Nozel checked his phone and saw a message notification from Dorothy: [update for uuuu~ ( ^ω^ )]
Nozel immediately replied, [What news do you have for me?]
[i found u a job that u might not botch~ ( ✌︎'ω')✌︎] It may have been a text but Nozel could hear Dorothy’s playful voice in his mind.
[You make me sound incompetent and like I’ve never worked a job before.]
[im not totally wrong tho ( ̄▽ ̄) u never worked a normie job (*^▽^*)]
Nozel’s eye twitched. Why did his dear friend also have to be a theatrical tease? Still, he replied, [Never mind my job history. What’s the position you found for me?]
[o(^▽^)o ur gonna luv it~]
Coming from Dorothy, the statement wasn’t as comforting to Nozel as it should’ve been.
…..
“One order of the Fairy Spring Tea Set, my lady,” Nozel stated while setting down a three-tiered tray on a table where a single woman with long, chestnut-colored hair. “Do call upon me once you’ve completed your meal.”
“What?” The chestnut-haired woman tucked her hair behind her ears and gave a sharp smile. “You won’t encourage me to enjoy the food? How cold of you, Wesley.”
“I see no reason to doubt the kitchen staff’s work. It’s guaranteed that you’ll enjoy it.”
With that, Nozel turned away. The woman hummed with amusement behind him. Nozel then approached the other table he was attending to. Seated were three women: one with sun-kissed skin and golden hair, one with similarly dark skin but earthy brown locks, and one with silvery-white hair that matched her fair complexion.
“Esteemed mistresses,” Nozel greeted. “I’m Wesley, your attendant for this day.”
“Hiya Wesley,” the blonde tittered with a wide grin. She leaned over to the brunette. “See, I told you he was regal!”
“He certainly has a princely vibe, even as a butler,” the brunette replied, laughing as well.
“To compare to a higher station seems rather inappropriate.” Nozel’s tone was clipped, as he needed to emphasize his coldness. “Regardless, what drinks shall I start you with?”
“Do you perhaps have any recommendations?” the pale-haired woman inquired with a smile that was petite but radiating kindness.
The trio of women were all endeared to Nozel it seemed. And it perplexed him how customers could be entertained by such an attitude. It made more sense than his previous work persona at least. How anyone liked his previous performance, as it was, was beyond him.
…..
Shivering Citrus Delight. A lemon-lime sorbet topped with a crisp waffle cookie.
Nozel understood how the dish, being frozen and having an off-white color which made it appear like a snowball, worked well with his work persona and appearance. The invoking of winter was clear in both Nozel and the dish. However, the bright, citrus flavor of the sorbet brought to mind summertime. Something which Nozel failed to see in himself.
Nozel couldn’t easily share his smile with others. His heart was too heavy with thoughts of Acier’s condition and his mind, too frenzied trying to investigate to be carefree. And instead of being an inviting presence, Nozel distanced himself from his family. He wouldn’t allow his younger siblings to be dragged down by responsibilities and burdens meant for him alone.
Winter and summer in one. An ideal that Nozel saw as illogical. Or rather, unattainable…
There was no summer in Nozel to thaw him from the winter he isolated his heart in. And there likely were no answers awaiting him, despite his bided time.
A sour, perhaps even bitter, feeling welled up in Nozel’s mind.
Has this all been a waste? Have I wasted myself? Nozel bit his cheek and kept his face neutral despite feeling the need to scowl.
Nozel set down his serving tray. When he did, the cookie that came with the Citrus Delight tipped and fell onto the tray, crumbling. He muttered an apology to his customers.
Nozel was frustrated. He, too, felt close to crumbling.

And now, for the main healer of the Cotton Candy Elephants, give a round of applause for Delicia von Hevring!
With Delicia von Hevring’s enrollment into the Officers’ Academy, it has been speculated whether or not the Hevring family themselves or the Crest of Cethleann naturally makes one disgusted at the sight of blood, as was the case with Linhardt von Hevring. In Delicia’s case, the mere mention of blood makes her want to puke on command. For this reason, she took up faith magic and healing in order to heal gross, icky injuries involving blood and guts. Rumor has it that Delicia would rather eat broccoli than look at blood—and she absolutely despises broccoli.
And now, time for Delicia's stats!
Crest: Cethleann (major)
Heroes’ Relic/Sacred Weapon: Caduceus Staff
Strengths: Faith, Reason, Flying
Weaknesses: Sword, Axe
Hidden Talent: Lance
Personal Skill: “Ew!”— After landing a hit with a battalion, will push away all enemies in range 5 spaces away and gain 2+ to Mag, Res, and HP
Ideal Classes: Monk, Priest, Bishop, Gremory, Dark Flier, Pegasus Knight, Falcon Knight
Learnable Magic: Heal, Physic, Ward, Restore, Nosferatu, Aura, Seraphim, Wind, Cutting Gale, Excalibur
Ideal Combat Arts: Tempest Lance, Knightkneeler, Hit and Run
Selection Quotes (Academy): "Ugh, Battle!" (normal), "Okay, I got this…" (mid-health), "I think I’m gonna be sick!" (critical health)
As the primary healer of the Cotton Candy Elephants, Delicia specializes in Faith Magic first and Reason Magic second. However, her Reason growth rates are slightly higher than typical healers, and are on par with an offense mage like Dorothea. Delicia herself was envisioned as a combination of Dorothea and Linhardt, having the fashion sense and attitude of the former, combined with the healing focus and smart-mouthed personality of the latter, minus the sleepiness (there's another student in this class who's always sleepy, but she's related to Lorenz). She's even got his Academy Phase selection quote. Her best stats are Res, Mag, and Cha.
A social butterfly, Delicia is super easy to build support with. Due to her high Cha stat, she is easy to have tea parties with an is an excellent candidate for the Dancer class (I'm just gonna say that making Tristesse the Dancer is funnier). For dining, her favorite meals are: Vegetable Pasta Salad, Sweet Bun Trio, Saghert and Cream, Peach Sorbet, Two-Fish Sauté, and Bourgeois Pike. At the dining table, she has unique dialogue with another classmate, Envidia Desiree Dominic. Delicia's preferred gifts include the Stylish Hair Clip, Floral Adornment, Gemstone Beads, Tea Leaves, and Roses. While she can support with everyone in her class, her supports outside her house are limited to: Dorothea, Linhardt, Ferdinand, Sylvain, Lorenz, Hilda, Constance, Manuela, and Flayn. As for S-Support, she is locked to Male Byleth.
Fun Fact: Delicia's name means "delightful". Ironic, considering that she's someone who is rarely delighted by anything, and is easily repulsed by everything around her.

NOTES; joong is a dramaqueen, woo is touchy nd sani is a bby
TAGLIST; @marievllr-abg @cookiechristie ; lmk if you want 2 b added 2!
Tumblr media
The trio of alpha companions stood in close proximity to the yawning trunk of the vehicle, their gaze fixated upon the back of the omega's head. Serene and patient, she awaited her place in the backseat, engrossed in conversation with Maddox as he ignited the engine. A somber twinkle danced in the depths of their eyes, signifying their solemnity as they prepared for what lay ahead.
"All right, rock-paper-scissors!" Hongjoong proclaimed, his hand forming a resolute fist. This was the sole manner in which they could determine who would have the privilege of sitting beside her. Convincing any one of them to surrender their place in favor of occupying the front seat was an insurmountable task.
Wooyoung and San mirrored his determined stance, poised to partake in the timeless game.
"On the count of three," Hongjoong intoned, his voice thick with anticipation. "One, two, three!"
The air crackled with the swift clash of hands, each alpha unveiling their chosen gesture. With scissors deftly slicing through Hongjoong's paper, San and Wooyoung reveled in their victory, their smiles radiating triumph. Meanwhile, Hongjoong's heart fragmented upon witnessing their exuberant high-five, leaving him defeated and crestfallen.
"Siuuu!" both Wooyoung and San exclaimed in unison, punctuating their triumph with raised fists, brimming with animated delight.
With the verdict reached, the inseparable pair eagerly claimed their positions on either side of the omega, nestling themselves comfortably in her midst. Wooyoung bestowed upon her a captivating smile, his eyes aglow with gentle warmth. "Looks like it's you and me, Omega. Buckle up for the ride."
Barely a moment passed before San playfully swatted Wooyoung's head, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "What do you mean 'you and me'?" he chided from the opposite side of the vehicle, leaning towards the omega to snatch Wooyoung's attention. "I'm right here too!~" Their teasing exchange filled the air, infusing the scene with an air of playful mirth.
The omega's cheeks flushed at the proximity, a swirling concoction of excitement and bashfulness enveloping her. Swiftly securing her seatbelt, she stole fleeting glances at both alphas, captivated by their presence.
Meanwhile, Wooyoung and San engaged in playful shoves and nudges, oblivious to the omega's heightened blush and the way she nestled herself inward, seeking solace within her own shell. Their lively interactions caused a lighthearted dance of pheromones within the confines of the car, a playful struggle for dominance.
Hongjoong, attuned to the surge of her anxiety, twisted in his seat to face the mischievous pair. His voice took on a commanding growl as he declared, "Settle down." The forceful tone left no room for doubt, conveying his seriousness to the alpha companions.
Upon hearing Hongjoong's authoritative growl, both Wooyoung and San immediately halted their playful antics, their expressions shifting to a mix of contrition and concern as they took in the hints of restlessness in her scent. They exchanged sheepish glances, realizing the unintended effect of their boisterous behavior.
"Shit sorry," Wooyoung stammered, his voice laced with genuine remorse. "We didn't mean to make you uncomfortable. Are you okay?"
San nodded in agreement, his eyes filled with earnest apology. "Yeah, we got carried away. We didn't mean to invade your personal space like that."
"No, oh my God!" She swiftly waved her hands in front of her, her eyes gleaming with sincerity. "You guys didn't do anything wrong. It's just that I'm quite the fan of your group, and being in such close proximity to all of you is making me feel a bit overwhelmed. I don't want to do anything embarrassing. I don't really know where to put myself." With a soft awkward giggle, she delicately pressed her hands against her rosy cheeks, as if hoping to gently suppress the ever-present blush that adorned her face since the moment she laid eyes on the idols she'd been hoping to meet for the past two years.
The boys almost combust, she was way too cute. And to top it off, she was a fan of theirs? It was simply unbelievable. Ain't no way bruh.
San found himself fighting the urge to lean in and kiss her cheeks, desperate to be as close to her as possible. His face adorning now a blush of its own matching the pretty omega sitting next to him. His gaze sharpens softly, his eyes almost closing, making his gaze too attractive (reader's words not mine!) she had to look somewhere else. Her words had an intoxicating effect on Woo, rendering him speechless. Wooyoung, known for his quick wit and sharp tongue, could only stare at her with his mouth agape. It was a rare occurrence for him to be left without words. Yet, the other alphas in the car could hear his thoughts racing with adoration for just how adorable she was.
Hongjoong, who was seating away from her, silently thanked his divine providence. He knew that sitting next to her would be a test of his self-control. The desire to hold her in his lap and bury his face in the crook of her neck, where her scent glands resided, would be too strong to resist. He would content himself with clutching his thighs so firmly that the fabric of his jeans might strain and fray, unintentionally giving birth to a new trend.
"'Quite the fan,' huh? I'd say you're obsessed," Maddox's words sliced through the air, shattering the tension that had settled in the car like shards of glass. "You literally told me the only reason you auditioned to KQent was because of the KQfellaz show." Maddox, comfortably positioned in the driver's seat, cast a sly glance at her through the rearview mirror, unable to resist the temptation of disclosing her secret, a mischievous smirk playing on his lips.
"Moon, what the fuck!" the omega exclaimed, her voice hushed, her cheeks ablaze with embarrassment.
Maddox chuckled, his mischievous grin refusing to be contained. "Oh come on, guys," he teased, diverting his attention to the alphas."You won't believe it. Our rookie here is an atiny. Like the whole package photocards, posters and shit"
San and Wooyoung turned their heads simultaneously, their eyes widening with a delightful blend of surprise and delight. While they had been taken aback by her being a fan, the revelation of her deep-rooted and longstanding dedication added an unexpected layer of connection, surpassing the boundaries of their mere mate link.
Overwhelmed by the sudden attention, the omega's shyness reached its peak, causing her to instinctively kick Kyungmoon's seatback, a momentary release of pent-up emotions. However, before she could register her action, Wooyoung's reflexes kicked in, his hand swiftly gripping her shin in a protective gesture. With a soft tsk, he uttered the endearing nickname, "Be careful, baby," as if it were a natural extension of their dynamic. His thumb tenderly caressed the top of her leg, leaving her bewildered by the intensity of his gentle touch. Puzzled, she wondered why he was focused on a part of her leg she hadn't even used to strike the car. What the fuck was he on, like— The enigma of his actions swirled in her mind, amplifying the impact of his tender gestures, making it a challenge to resist the melting sensations that threatened to engulf her.
I mean, Wooyoung was caressing her leg! What the fuck! The realization hit her like a sudden rush of adrenaline. As a fellow member of the same entertainment company, she had anticipated some level of interaction with the boys, but nothing could have prepared her for the intimacy she was experiencing now. The way Wooyoung's fingers delicately grazed her leg sent shivers down her spine, a sensation she couldn't quite explain. It wasn't just a friendly gesture between colleagues; it held a subtle, electrifying energy that made her heart race.
Caught between a mix of excitement and uncertainty, her mind raced with questions. Was this their usual behavior with fans, or was there something more behind Wooyoung's gentle touch? Did he even realize the effect he had on her? The conflicting thoughts swirled in her mind, creating a storm of emotions she struggled to contain.
"He's gonna be the death of me," she whispered inwardly, her voice laced with a mix of amusement and trepidation. Wooyoung's carefree personality was renowned within the group, always exuding an infectious energy and playful nature. But this newfound closeness, the tenderness of his touch, was driving her to the brink of insanity.
With every caress, it became increasingly difficult for her to ignore the growing attraction to him. The way he moved with such ease, his fingers tracing patterns on her skin, sent a surge of warmth through her veins. It was as if he held the power to awaken a dormant part of her being, a part she had never dared to acknowledge before.
Lost in her thoughts, she allowed herself a stolen glance at Wooyoung, whose eyes sparkled with mischief and a hint of something more. Was he aware of the effect he had on her? Did he feel the same inexplicable connection that had ignited within her soul? The uncertainty gnawed at her, simultaneously thrilling and terrifying her.
Not being able to hold eye contact any longer, her eyes shifted to his hands again. Only know noticing the intricate network of veins that traced their way across Wooyoung's hands and forearms. (i had 2 mention woo's veins at least once grr)
San, witnessing the tender exchange unfolding before his eyes, couldn't resist the magnetic pull drawing him closer to her. With a surge of longing coursing through his veins, he reached out and gently captured her hand, their fingers intertwining seamlessly in a harmonious union. His touch, roughened by the challenges they faced as idols, delicately intertwined with her dainty, perfectly manicured fingers, creating an electric current that danced along his skin. The sensation ignited a wildfire of desire within him, a deep-seated longing to explore the depths of their connection.
A soft smile graced San's lips as he leaned in closer, his eyes filled with genuine curiosity. "Tell me more," he whispered, his voice tinged with a mixture of intrigue and mischievousness. "Who's your favourite one among us?", his dimples adding a touch of playfulness to his words.
"Oh it's—" Before Maddox could interject, his words were met with a low, but soft growl that rippled through the air. Her firm frown, paired with the intensity of her gaze directed at the driver, sent a clear message. She was a force to be reckoned with, a fierce protector of her own secrets, omega or not.
"Don't you fucking dare," she uttered, her eyes drilling into the back of Maddox's head.
Yet, even in her assertiveness, her inherent charm couldn't be concealed. Hongjoong, feeling his heart ache with a bittersweet longing, let himself succumb to the weight of his emotions. He closed his eyes, allowing his head to rest gently against the cool windowpane, seeking solace in the fragments of her presence that lingered within his thoughts (he's such a dramaqueen omg). The memory of her subtle growl, the way her eyebrows knitted together and her nose adorably scrunched up, etched itself into his mind, fueling his yearning to embrace her in a tender, everlasting bond.
She possessed an ethereal beauty, a delicate presence that captivated his attention. However, he understood the fragility of her position as a newcomer in the cutthroat entertainment industry. The challenges faced by solo artists to establish themselves in the realm of Korean Pop were immense, and he didn't want to add to her burden with his own alpha bullshit.
"Oh, come on, tell us~," Wooyoung playfully whined, his hand still firmly planted on her leg, inching up to rest on her knee. His eyes held a mischievous glimmer, conveying his genuine curiosity. "I promise I won't be mad if it's not me."
Her laughter bubbled up, a delightful melody that filled the car, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth in his chest. Her fingers delicately covered her mouth, inadvertently highlighting the curve of her lips and the way her eyes crinkled with mirth. The alphas found themselves enraptured by the sight, their gazes softening in response to her radiant joy.
With a soft smile, Wooyoung leaned in closer, his voice a mere whisper. "Just one hint," he urged, his anticipation palpable. He held his breath, waiting with bated longing for the words that would reveal her favourite among them.
She hummed playfully, her eyes flickering upwards as if considering his request. Her long lashes almost grazed her arched eyebrows, casting delicate shadows on the light blue eyeshadow adorning her eyelids. The air crackled with suspense as she granted him a single hint, her teasing nature adding an extra layer of intrigue.
Wooyoung nodded eagerly, his eyes fixed on her. He awaited her words like a devoted pet, his loyalty and curiosity intertwined.
"He's pathetic" Hongjoong shared through his mind with a big smile on his face, his thoughts transmitting directly to San's mind.
San couldn't resist the urge to chime in, a knowing smirk playing on his lips. "She's got him hooked," he added, recognizing the power she held over their hapless companion.
"It's not you." she smirked, the playful mischief dancing in her eyes.
Silence engulfed the car, the other occupants momentarily frozen, before a wave of laughter erupted from everyone except Wooyoung. The sound filled the space, a chorus of amusement and camaraderie, as they relished in the light-hearted banter and the unexpected twist she had delivered.

Day 2: Darkness
I thought of Macaque immediately so here’s a Mac-attack inspired sorbet trio! Blackberry/Mango/Cherry, in that order
11 notes · View notes
Note
Got any headcanons about team Bucciarati and their relationships/thoughts on the members of La Squadra? :eyes:
Yes!!! I love this ask! This is gonna take place in my everyone lives au, that most of my headcanons take place in. SPOILER WARNING btw
this one is kind of long.
-firstly, Trish hates them all and for good reason.
-secondly, Bruno has an issue with their morals when it comes to selling drugs. Because drugs are like, his least favorite thing. They call him no drugs Bruno.
-Thirdly, they all adore Sorbet and Gelato!
FORMAGGIO:
- Giorno gets along with formaggio alright, he thinks he is a piece of shit though. But he finds his shrinking stand to be very interesting and they have combined their powers together before to make a tiny jungle.
-Narancia and Mista are best buddies with Formaggio, and they cause chaos all the time. Narancia and Formaggio have a little rivalry going on though because of their fight, but they’re pals because they are all dumbasses.
-Fugo hates him because when Fugo gets upset about something, Formaggio will activate his stand to make him small so his yelling is higher pitched.
-Abbacchio doesn’t like when Formaggio is around because he makes the loud ones even louder. He has a special pair of noose cancelling headphones for when he visits.
-Bruno doesn’t really talk to or like Formaggio.
ILLUSO:
-Giorno respects him for the fight they had and the determination he showed. Hates his guts though.
-Illuso can’t forgive Giorno, Fugo, or Abbacchio for causing him to go through so much pain. He doesn’t know if he blames Giorno or Fugo more for getting infected so bad with Purple haze. Those three don’t really like Illuso that much, Giorno is the only one that at least respects him out of the trio.
-Bruno thinks his stand is neat because he likes other dimension stands.
-Trish thinks his hair is ugly.
PESCI and PROSCIUTTO:
-Prosciutto likes Narancia because he reminds him a little bit of a braver Pesci. Pesci doesn’t like Narancia because he is jealous of him/thinks his big bro likes him more (which isn’t true). Narancia won’t forget how prosciutto made him look like a rotten grape.
-Mista likes Prosciutto because he shot him three times in the head, if it had been four times his ghost would hate him. He thinks Pesci looks like a pineapple.
-Abbacchio thinks Prosciutto is wonderful because he was the cause of “the best nap of his life” when he was in the turtle on the train. Like sure it almost cost him his life, but to be able to sleep like that again.
-Bruno doesn’t think Pesci is anything like Narancia, but can see where prosciutto is coming from. Bruno didn’t like Pesci at first, and is often irritated with him. But he does have a soft spot for him now.
MELONE:
-I think they all hate Melone to be honest.
GHIACCO: (or however you spell his name)
-Fugo and him talk about their anger issues and pet peeves, and Fugo gives him advice about how to control your anger better. They surprisingly get along alright, but if they are both upset at each other it is bad.
-Mista likes to irritate him. Narancia irritates him, but not on purpose.
-He and Giorno and Fugo went ice skating one time, he made the ice rink. It was summer. People were confused.
RISOTTO:
-Abbacchio doesn’t like him, there can be only one best dressed goth in town.
-Bruno respects him and likes how he cares about his team. Risotto likes Bruno, but what is up with that haircut? When his team complains to him about something he will say “well at least you aren’t working for a guy with an ugly haircut like bucciarati” and someone from his team responds with “yeah, but we get the ugly hat …”.
-Risotto likes Narancia because of how he “let him” use his stand that one time. Narancia thinks Risotto has a better outfit than Abbacchio, but he won’t say it.

National Dessert Day
Satisfy your sweet tooth with cakes, pastries, tarts and candies on Dessert Day, have a bake-off with friends or invent a brand-new delicacy of your own.
So, What is more fun than making dinner or lunch? Dessert. It can be made with all things that are sweet and juicy or tart and sour and can come out in ways that are warm and soft, flavorful and crunchy, but it’s always delicious. You can indulge dessert with a range of chocolates, candy, or pastries, cakes, and cupcakes, and what about tarts and pies? Preparing them can make the wait for them all the sweeter, or you can grab a pudding or two on the go just to make the day that much brighter. National Dessert Day is your excuse to indulge in your favorite treats.
Learn about National Dessert Day
Are you a starter or a dessert person? If you fall into the latter category, you are going to love National Dessert Day. This day provides us with the perfect excuse to let our sweet tooth take over. You can indulge in as many desserts as you wish, and no one can tell you to do otherwise! What could be better? From pastries and cakes to chocolates and mousses; there is a dessert for everyone. What’s your favorite?
If you do a little bit of digging online, you will see that there are some interesting facts and statistics about desserts and the most popular choices. Of course, you have probably heard of tiramisu, which is the world’s most famous Italian dessert. What about Sacher cake, from Austria, or Baklava, from Greece and the Middle East? Research different cultures and try new desserts on this day!
History of National Dessert Day
The origin of the word dessert comes from the French “desservir,” a word which here means “to clear the table.” This, of course, referenced the dish that came after the clearing of the main dishes served as part of the meal. The earliest references to the term dessert being used are in the 1600’s and arrived at the same time as the concept of serving a meal in courses, letting each part of the meal be its own experience.
While it may seem like a no-brainer now, the idea of serving a sweet repast following the main meal wasn’t something that was always done. Those masters of decadence, the French, were known to serve a sweet wine as an aperitif, and it didn’t take long before the concept of sweet followings to the main dish became commonplace.
The birth of the sugar and honey trade helped to bolster the idea of dessert as it became easier to obtain sweeteners, though for a long time it was still known as a lush decadence reserved for the wealthy.

How to Celebrate National Dessert Day
National Dessert Day encourages us to celebrate by selecting our favorite delicacies and indulging in them, while also exploring the ever-growing number of options we have to experience in the world of sweets. There are so many to choose from cakes, pies, fried dough, chocolate, tarts, candy, jellied desserts, and pastries; it’s all about choosing how you make them and what to make, and maybe even where to make it?
Dessert can happen at home with family, or you can pick them up from your local store, and there’s always grandma’s house? The only important question on National Dessert Day is “What is your favorite dessert, and how would you like it?” Maybe there’s an old family recipe or something that the bakery down the street made fresh that morning. Whatever you decide, National Dessert Day is your opportunity to indulge in your favorite treats and maybe relive some old memories while doing so.
From rich chocolate to sweet strawberries, there are many desserts you can make on this day. How about Sticky Toffee Pudding? This is a British classic. For those that are unaware, Sticky Toffee Pudding is a delicious moist sponge cake that is made with finely chopped dates. The star of the show is, of course, the toffee sauce that is poured over the top.
If you fancy something a bit more modern, how about Green Tea-Coated Chocolate Mousse? Green tea is a massive hit in desserts at the moment. The Strawberry Cobbler is another dessert worth a mention. For something spectacular, serve it with cream cheese and warm vanilla seed custard. It is warm, comforting, and will melt in your mouth.
Or, what about Sicilian Lemon Tart? The balance between the sweetness and tartness in this dessert is spot on. We could go on, and on, and on, and on… after all, there are so many delicious and mouth-watering desserts out there! All you need to do is a quick search on the Internet and you are going to find plenty of exciting recipes to try on this day.
Another fun way to celebrate National Dessert Day is by watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. When you think of sweet treats and chocolate, this is often the first thing that comes to mind. It is a great film, and it is something that all of the family can watch. So, prepare your dessert, whether it be an ice cream sundae or a comforting apple pie, and get yourself comfortable in front of the television so that you and the family can enjoy a good movie night together. What could be better?
If you are really feeling adventurous, you may want to try making your own dessert invention on National Dessert Day. After all, the best recipes out there usually started as a bit of trial and error. Get plenty of different baking ingredients in and have fun experimenting with different flavors.
You could even turn this into a bit of a bake-off competition with your family or friends. You can all have your own ‘workstation’ and then you can try everyone’s desserts to see who is crowned the winner. It’s always fun to do something a little bit different with your loved ones, isn’t it?

Of all the La Squadra guys, which ones could you see together in polycules with the reader (aside from Sorbet and Gelatto of course)?
I personally have a lot of fun picturing my oc with Risotto and Melone
ooh, this is a fun q!! i think risotto and melone work really well together. some other fave polycule pairings of mine:
prosciutto and melone - i think i've even filled a request for two for this one! i think they would play off each other surprisingly well, and a reader can really spice up the dynamic.
risotto and formaggio - ^ see above. it just works!!
illuso and prosciutto - RIP your self-esteem, these bitches are catty... but they also make a surprisingly good trio with you.
^ add risotto on the pro + lulu + reader trio. he balances out illuso and prosci in a way no one but him could. fun.
pesci + riz - now hear me out!! risotto would give pesci the same sort of confidence boost prosciutto would, but with risotto as his partner, pesci would be able to come into his own.
the classic, prosci + pesci - pesci would be a little more subdued at first, but i think with having you and prosciutto as partners, he'd be able to find his own rhythm. prosci is prone to micromanaging in this set-up.
anyways i always have Many polyposting thoughts so feel free to send asks about it!!

Maria von Medon, a noble specializing in Faith magic and a student of the Blue Lions. This unit values connecting with others. Try recruiting her again when you've formed more bonds? (RECRUITMENT REQUIREMENTS: have at least three B supports.)

She holds great curiosity toward the world and all its sights, but most importantly, she loves to meet and befriend others. Came to Fódlan to improve her preexisting skills, learn new ones, and become overall more capable; secretly, she hoped to find her brother again as well.
PERSONAL HISTORY
Year 594 - Princess Maria of Macedon is born, the youngest of three.
Year 598 - King Osmond of Macedon is assassinated, and Michalis succeeds the throne.
Year 600 - Michalis asks Maria to become a hostage to Dohlr; Maria, wanting to protect the people of Macedon and make her brother happy, complies.
Year 604 - Maria is freed from Castle Deil by Prince Marth of Altea and his army, thereafter joining him alongside Minerva in the War of Shadows. Following Michalis' defeat, she watches over him in Macedon's aery until he recovers.
Year 607 - Maria is kidnapped by Gharnef while studying magic in Khadein. Later the following year, Prince Marth and his army defeat Medeus and free the captured clerics, Maria among them. She and Minerva stay with Lena at her convent, caring for orphans.
Year 609 - Maria resumes her studies and departs for Fódlan.
INTERESTS. learning new things, exploring, spending time with others LIKES. spending time with loved ones & making friends; making things (like sweet little treats!)

( saghert and cream, fish and bean soup, vegetable pasta salad, onion gratin soup, sweet and salty whitefish sauté, sweet bun trio, garreg mach meat pie, pheasant roast with berry sauce, peach sorbet, vegetable stir-fry, derdriu-style fried pheasant ) -- the simple act of sharing a meal with Maria is guaranteed to raise your friendship with her, but these dishes give the biggest boosts

LOST ITEMS.
TIMEWORN JOURNAL: A well-kept if obviously aged journal, its entries date back many years and are addressed not to itself, but to a person. There are many crude but lovingly rendered drawings within. It probably belongs to someone who's been looking for someone for a very long time. LOCATION: Courtyard

FOREIGN PENDANT: A subtle-yet-elegant pendant of foreign make. Its quality suggests a high degree of nobility; there is a small emblem of a wyvern on the back of it. It probably belongs to someone sentimental. LOCATION: Cathedral
OWNER.
"Oh! This is mine -- I've been looking for it everywhere! Thank you so much!"
NOT OWNER.
"Hmm... This isn't mine, but maybe... have you asked (name)?" *has an increased chance of suggesting the right person the higher her support rank with the item's owner.

"Hm hm hm...♫ Hee hee! Isn't singing fun?"

"Are you nervous? Hee hee, don't worry! I used to help out a lot with cooking at the convent -- I'll help you out!"
"Aah, wait, wait! Not the-- ...hee hee... hahaha! Well, that's okay, too! We'll figure something out."
TUTORING.
INSTRUCT.
BAD.
"...Mmm... How do I..."

UPDATE GOALS.
FAITH.
"Did you know? In Archanea, you have to use staves and tomes to use magic, but in Fódlan you don't need any of that! I don't know if I can bring that kind of magic back home, but if I can help even without a staff, then it's worth a try, isn't it? Trying to keep up with both of them gets a little tough sometimes, though!"
AXE + FLYING.
"My home, Macedon, was known for its wyvern knights -- and my brother and sister were the strongest of all of them! I chose to be a cleric to protect them like they protect me, but... hee hee! Thanks to them, I love the sky."
REASON.
"Axes are so different from magic. Their strengths and weaknesses, their range, the types of foes they're better against... I won't ever be as good with axes as my big brother and sister, but that's okay, isn't it? I'm not them -- I'm their little sister! And I'll always be there to support them!"

She's like a kid in a candy store; she sees it, she likes it, she wants it...give it up for Envidia Desiree Dominic!
Envidia Desiree Dominic may be little and adorable, but she always wants what everyone else has, and feels she’s not enough, always having to prove her worth. Much like her relative Annette, she’s become something of an overachiever in her quest to have the same skill and aptitude as her classmates; possibly even surpass them. Word on the street is that she does this to prove she's worthy to bear the name of House Dominic because she might have been adopted after the Tragedy of Duscur and is thought to not be a true Dominic (it is also believed that she might be the offspring of a Dominic relative and a Duscur native to explain why she manifested the crest). One classmate she looks up to a lot is Delicia von Hevring, whom she sees as beauty and brains incarnate.
And now, time for Envidia's battle stats!
Crest: Dominic (major)
Heroes’ Relic/Sacred Weapon: Crusher
Strengths: Axe, Reason, Faith
Weaknesses: Bow, Heavy Armor
Hidden Talent: Flying
Personal Skill: “Heart’s Desire”—After initiating combat, will inflict -4 on surrounding enemies’ HP, Lck, and Cha, and personally gain 4+ on the same stats. If defeated unit was carrying an item, the item will be doubled in Envidia's inventory.
Ideal Classes: Monk, Fighter, Mage, Brigand, Warrior, Warlock, Gremory, War Cleric, Wyvern Rider, Wyvern Knight, Dark Flier
Learnable Magic: Wind, Cutting Gale, Excalibur, Sagittae, Agnea's Arrow, Heal, Recover, Nosferatu, Aura
Ideal Combat Arts: Smash, Helm Splitter, Diamond Axe, Focused Strike, Lightning Axe, Dust (unique)
Selection Quotes (Academy): "You picked me!" (normal), "Don’t mind me!" (mid-health), "I want to live…" (critical health)
Envidia's best stats are Dex, Mag, and Cha. Her talents in axe and magic make her a perfect fit for the War Cleric class, but utilizing her hidden talent can make her an excellent candidate for the Wyvern Rider or Dark Flier classes (the former making her lose access to magic). Her Crest of Dominic allows her to use Crusher and its unique combat art, Dust. The real question is if her crest also makes her an extreme overachiever who needs to study to be just as good, if not better, than everyone else...maybe that's a question that can only be answered by a support with Annette.
Envidia is super easy to build support with, and she just loves to talk at tea time; it is literally impossible to have her fail tea time. For dining, her favorite dishes are: Saghert and Cream, Peach Sorbet, Sweet Bun Trio, Vegetable Pasta Salad, Sweet and Salty Whitefish Sauté, Fisherman's Bounty, and Bourgeois Pike. She has unique dialogue with Delicia and Anneliese. As for gifts, Envidia goes crazy for a Floral Adornment, Gemstone Beads, Tasty Baked Treat, Book of Sheet Music, Stylish Hairclip, Armored Bear Stuffy, Legends of Chivalry, Ancient Coin, Lavender, and a Lily. While she has supports with everyone in the Cotton Candy Elephants, her inter-house supports are limited to: Annette, Dedue, Lysithea, Ignatz, Ferdinand, Gilbert, Ingrid, Edelgard, Dorothea, Yuri, and Constance. As for S-Support, she is locked to Male Byleth.
Fun Fact: Envidia's name is Spanish for "envy", while her middle name, Desiree, is French for "desired".
