answering ASKSSSSS

featuring: headcanons, mspaint yonny, and more

check it out! ↓↓

UHH the timeline is already hard enough to follow for 4 it's a little messy... I imagine for the pom wraith AU, it's mostly the events of pikmin 4 with some extra bits tacked onto it (like Olimar encountering the plasm at some point on his lonesome).

WAHHH THANK YOU... heres some secret mod lore, yonny is the HARDEST motherfucker to draw for me. he was ever since i started drawing the rescue corps and he still is!!!!!!!!!!!! his stupid face is so HARD GRRUUAUUGGHH

THANK YOU!!! i have a few bernard drawings/doodles in the pipeline to post eventually

(ive done a few ask masterposts at this point so forgive me if i already answered this one) AHHHHH i mean pom DOES really like Olimar. he challenges her skills out on the field when she's trying to track him down as a leafling which she finds engaging, and she finds him quite charming from the logs she reads. after he's cured, he's nothing but kind and supportive.

i don't think she'd try to take off with him like the plasm, but she'd feel protective over him if something were to threaten him

WAUUGGHH THANK YOU!!!! putting my favorite fictional characters into an enclosure and watching them

THANK YOU!!! you get it, he's so wet and pathetic

YEAH i have more bernard incoming!!! he's so genuinely supportive and it kinda freaks pom out because she can't tell if he has ulterior motivations or not (he doesn't. he's just a really cool dude. they'll become besties💖)

i'll perform the summoning ritual for you anon

there he is. what a jolly fellow

THIS IS A REALLY GOOD QUESTION... i had to consult with my friends for a lengthy food discussion (big hearts to @cosmicocoffee who helped me with like literally all of them)

for Pom, she's a wraith, so she just likes interesting and strong tastes. she's very partial to sweet things, and she LOVES chocolate (because that's one of the first sweets she ever tasted). although, she also like really spicy things because it's a neat feeling. as for least favorite, uh... i mean, the girl will literally eat soap for fun. it's very rare for her to have a food item she despises. they DO exist though, she fucking hates raisins

Dingo likes MANLY food, like MEAT and RIBS. well, he mostly likes being seen eating it. he does have a fondness for sweet things and smoothies. the town he grew up in could get pretty cold, so he grew up eating quite a lot of hot meals like caldo de res (he's especially fond of soups made the way his mama used to make them). he also picks up a fondness for hot tea from growing up with yonny, but he always puts extra honey in his cups. dingo HATES some foods though, especially sushi. the last time he tried to impress people by eating sushi, Dingo was hunched over outside the restaurant with Yonny rubbing his back...

shepherd! likes coffee. @soupvnova said she'd go to starbucks (spacebucks?) often to get the pup cup for oatchi which is very good. she has the healthiest diet out of all of them with routine exercise, protein shakes, lots of fruits and shit. she does have a weakness and a bit of a sweet tooth though, especially for cake. it hardly puts a dent in her diet though given her metabolism, she's a very built captain. she's not a fan of steamed vegetables... too squishy for her.

while talking about shepherd it is imperative to share that Oatchi will eat ANYTHING. if something hits the ground it is in his mouth immediately, shepherd has had to wrestle him to get space dog-unsafe food outta there before. although she will also constantly sneak him stuff from the dinner table

collin's fun because he enjoys eating healthy, he's a fan of fresh spring salads and stuff like pineapples and watermelon, but he also has to live off of a lot of processed/vending machine food because the man pulls all nighters frequently. he's also prone to stress eating... you can find him demolishing a watermelon and he's just. covered with seeds. he likes crunchy foods and seeds-- he's very hamstercore. he comes to Despise instant noodles because of how often he has to rely on them for food in the dead of night

fucking uhhh yonny, he likes foods that pair well with reading, he has pretty "mature" tastes and enjoys tea, maybe a glass of wine if he's feeling it. he often gets tunnel vision with his work and will neglect to eat, and as their doctor he'll have to set reminders on his phone to go have a meal so he doesn't fall ill. i can imagine he's not too into sugary things...

we already know bernard has some very expensive tastes, but he might just struggle with some textures or tastes in food. like, he enjoys pizza, this man is just a very picky eater... i can see him having tastes all over the board though. also he's protective over his stuff, he cared more about dingo eating his pizza than abandoning him

russ. uh... russ. yeah

olimar and louie are not part of the rescue corps, but i could see olimar joining (and louie following) sometime after the events of 4! he'd get a much better benefits package... he'd be good at providing logistical support for rangers out on the field, although his achy back would probably keep him off the field himself

AHH THANK YOU!! i have written some things but i don't have anything published -- to be honest, i'm not much of a fic writer. most of my writing is mostly just me talking through ideas/stories/cool character moments with friends, which is not a very shareable format unfortunately💔

i will say, talking about ideas with buddies gives me a shit load of ideas/motivation for drawing, and a lot of the stuff i've posted probably had that as an origin

THANK YOU!! and yeah of course that's fine! every artist is a collection of inspirations, and i'm no exception. my style comes from studying what i like in art and media (made by other people). i'm honored you find me as an inspiration💖

AUGH AUGH THANK YOU!!! i appreciate the anatomically correct hearts 💖💖

YEAHH i have designs that i've been meaning to flesh out but i'm lazy... i've been sitting on a dingo and yonny wraith design for like a month now, i should just bite the bullet and post them as-is if i ever want to share them... oh well! it's all for fun, i'm not gonna stress about it looking good

---

thank you for reading this far!! and thank you all for the asks, i will continue to slowly get through them...

[adviceformefromme]

Hi! Thank you for the health advice! I would love to quit or significantly reduce carbs, I also feel like it's heavy on my body, but so many meals revolve around grains (sourdough bread mostly) and I guess there's a craving aspect to it too... Could you give advice on what you're eating instead?? I have lots of eggs, fish, occasional meat, plenty of fruit, just enough veg haha but i find it hard to imagine going without carbs (or grains more specifically cos I have no prob with vege carbs). Especially in winter 😋 Thank you for any help 🙏🙏

I feel like society has normalised feeling heavy and lethargic after meals, but its amazing you have noticed this and want to change!

You may want to cut carbs gradually (no starches - breads, grains, rice, pasta, potatoes).

I would recommend looking into GI index to see what foods are high glucose, following Hormone Balancing recipes, juices etc (usually very low carb and support women's health). Listening to podcasts on microbiome, or even a tiktok search.

Introducing pre/ probiotics: I make sauerkraut (which is basically cabbage / onions in water and salt left to ferment for a few days - lots of variations on this), also just made my first batch of Kefir (I stay away from store bought Kefir as its pasturised and all the good stuff has been killed off during this process). I mention these as a healthy gut is going to support you as you remove carbs and introduce more wholesome foods.

Breakfasts:

Omlette (spinach / onion / parsley )

Scrambled eggs w/ coconut oil

Buckwheat porridge w/ blueberries (buckwheat is a seed not a grain so low glucose index)

Avocado salad (seeds, olives, rocket, tomatoes, cucumber) +tahini

Snacks:

Nuts, olives, blueberries, blackberries, watermelon

Main meals:

Veg + Protein (Broccli, kale, butternut squash, courgette, carrots, asparagus, cabagge, peppers). I do different variations of veg to mix things up, sometimes i do Chinese style stir fry, I try to add garlic and ginger as much as possible into the veg. Protein is usually grass fed steak, whole fish - seabream, sea bass, mackerel, cod fillet, wild salmon fillet, or turkey breast fillet. I make chimichurri sauce to add some extra flavour to the fish.

Protein + lentil / chicpeas dish. I have a stew a few days a week to break up the veggies because they do get boring after a while.

Bone broth. I boil the bones, and have as a little side dish with veggies but this isn't really filling enough for a main meal.

I make beetroot juice, and also watermelon juice, tumeric + ginger shots throughout the week. I try to throw in flaxseed and chia seeds where possible.

I cut coffee/ decaf all that and now only drinking fresh mint tea, slice of lemon + hot water, fresh juices (within the hour of making), and water ensuring 2l per day.

Number one thing that had to go was oats. So if you are having a morning crash I suggest cutting the carbs first thing. I know there are suggestions (glucose goddess) that fat with carbs or when you eat them (having carbs after veg can help) but personally i think its best to cut them.

I hope this helps! Its a full lifestyle change that has honestly helped so much! It's a commitments, but investing in feeling good and your health will make you feel so good and wholesome! xoxoxo

*I used the free 1 month trial of MyFitnessPal app to track my calories/ meals to ensure I was getting enough food - for some this might be extreme but super helpful to see what’s going on.

Ganondorf! How are your biceps so massive? Did you eat a couple of watermelon seeds as a child and they grew in your arms?? Or did you fall into a pot of protein powder?

Dedication, willpower, and rage.

[briar--rising]

So. I'm getting a colonoscopy next Wednesday, and for the whole week leading up to it I have to eat a low residue diet, which basically eliminates every single food I regularly eat. No legumes, no whole grains, no nuts, no seeds, no corn, no raw vegetables, no fibrous cooked vegetables (i.e. broccoli, asparagus, etc), no cooked vegetables with skins or seeds (i.e. tomatoes, zucchini, etc), no fruits with skins or seeds (i.e. berries, unpeeled apples and stone fruits, watermelon, etc), no olives, no coconut, no onions, and on and on and on.

I'm a vegetarian, lactose intolerant, and incredibly picky. Almost my entire diet is on that list. Not being able to eat legumes, nuts, or whole grains for a week takes away my three main protein sources. The only ones left are tofu and dairy. And I don't like milk or 95% of cheeses. And not having access to most vegetables? No salads, no roasted or sauteed broccoli or asparagus or squash or cauliflower, no raw carrots, no tomatoes, no onions, it's a nightmare. When I can't figure out what to eat I default to vegetable soup or lentil soup and now I'm not allowed either one. I spent my whole therapy session coming up with a list of foods I can eat, and I do have some, but it's going to get very repetitive very fast. I'm going to eat so many fewer vegetables than normal and it sucks. Lots of pizza and tofu. Which are both great in moderation! But not as a week's worth of food. It's just always so stressful to have to adjust my diet and this is a really impactful change. It really does take away 80% or more of what I eat on a day to day basis.

it’s the end of the year. time to share my favorites.

favorite food: for the longest time, I was one of those people who was like “I just like food” (and I do, even with my 100+ -pound weight loss, I like to eat), but I’ve decided it’s a Reuben sandwich. With pastrami, sauerkraut, thousand island dressing, on rye bread which is lightly toasted. I do like it with corned beef and sourdough bread, but I always go back to the classic pastrami and rye combination.

favorite cuisine: the Mediterranean, mainly because I’ve been familiar with Italian food my whole life but I have loved French and Basque food since I was about 16, and I love the flavor profiles all around.

favorite spice: cardamom. Peppery but subtle, like allspice but slightly to the left. Pairs really well with cinnamon and ginger, hence why I like putting it in my spice cake as well as my lentil soup—it makes cinnamon more “cinnamon-y” and ginger more “gingery.”

favorite seasoning: shawarma. I have always loved cumin, coriander, and turmeric, and it makes the house smell good.

favorite flavors: white chocolate, coffee, blackberry, and red wine. Very complex and I’d go so far to say sensual flavors.

favorite flavor combo: chocolate and coffee. The profile of my chocolate babka. I like chocolate and cherry, apple-cinnamon, and white chocolate and raspberry, too.

favorite protein: probably either beef or pork. Love cooking both, and the ground versions go with anything.

favorite soup: there’s three. My Israeli lentil soup (green lentils, basmati or jasmine rice, Israeli couscous, carrots, white onions, green onions, za’atar seasoning, cinnamon, cardamom, garlic, lemon zest, and pieces of chicken—I did make it with ham hocks the first time and I found them hard to eat and hella salty. Made it again with chicken and it was excellent). Chicken or beef pho (last time I had pho, it was wonderful). And coconut curry Thai soup (coconut milk, chicken stock, cream cheese, ramen noodles, green onions, bok choy, peanuts, carrots, curry, those little Thai chilies with the seeds removed and then sautéed so they’re sweet, and ground turkey).

favorite grain: Israeli couscous. I love those little pearls and how well they pair with veggies and different stocks.

favorite vegetables: forever carrots, ever since I was little. I like zucchini and mushrooms, too.

favorite vegetable to cook: chili peppers, mainly because I love how they smell. I love the smell of onions cooking, too.

favorite comfort food: my mac and cheese, mainly because I like to make it with chili peppers and sausage (I once made it with andouille and it was amazing).

favorite food that’s helped me lose weight: there have been several but I’m gonna say scrambled eggs, watermelon, and basic homemade white bread.

favorite bread: babka, of course~

favorite bread that isn’t babka: ciabatta, English muffins, and flatbreads.

favorite baked good: either bread or cookies.

favorite cookie: gingerbread or double chocolate

favorite cake: spice cake, red velvet cake, carrot cake, that chocolate and Irish cream cake I made for St. Paddy’s Day this year, New York cheesecake, German chocolate cake (and from someone who has never been a fan of coconut until recently, either!), Boston cream pie, devil’s food cake, tres leches cake, krantz cake (really similar to babka but it’s closer to a cake; I consider babka an enriched bread), tiramisu

favorite pie: blackberry, apple, and key lime

favorite traybake: forever blondies, specifically the ones with white chocolate.

favorite hellofresh kit: oh, so many! Figgy balsamic chicken, any of their rice bowls, banh mí meatballs, those poutine burgers from a while back, chili mac and cheese (which inspired by own chili mac and cheese), coconut Thai curry, roasted pork with Israeli couscous and sweet potatoes (I think that was my first favorite, iirc)

Now time for least favorites~

least favorite food: lima beans. They never feel right, even when mixed with something else. They’re like eating mushy old newspaper.

least favorite flavor: pumpkin. Never been a fan to begin with—I’ll have it, like how I made that pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving a couple of weeks ago, but i’m not a fan—but it’s literally everywhere. It’s in things it’s got no business being in, either, like milk, cereal, and fucking cheese (for real) of all things.

least favorite ingredient: PISTACHIOS. simply because they’ve been done to death at this point and they’ve always struck me as more of a savory ingredient, too, like I see them in a lot of Middle Eastern dishes. There, they’re fantastic. But in cake or cookies? No, stop it.

least favorite protein: fish… to cook, anyway. I actually really love fish and seafood: I love scallops, fish and chips, fish tacos, tuna casserole, sushi, and clam chowder, and after this year, I’ve been converted to shrimp; my favorite fish is probably either salmon or swordfish. But—because I’m a very sensual person—I cannot get past the smell (it’s why I usually like to bake it, because then you can cook it with vegetables like asparagus, lemon wheels, and good spices wrapped in tin foil). The one fish that doesn’t smell is mahi mahi and it’s been… a… a while since I’ve had that.

least favorite pie: rhubarb, mainly because it kind of scares me (uncooked rhubarb is toxic). Banana cream, too—I love bananas, and I’m curious about “banoffee” (banana toffee, I see it in British recipes a lot), but like peppermint, banana flavored anything never tastes right, either. I just think of banana-flavored Twinkies 🥴

least favorite hellofresh kit: there was this one dish, I forget what it was now, but it had cherry tomatoes, cucumber, pistachios, a couple of other things, and “grilling cheese.” First off, I fucked up the cheese—or maybe they did, I dunno. It was one of those cheeses that could stand up to high heat (like halloumi is like that, you can actually grill it!)… and then it melted. Second, it just wasn’t that good, and I remember being disappointed because I was actually looking forward to it, too. You know, “alright, something new!”

we also had a ravioli dish just last week, and it was ravioli (and there’s never enough ravioli in the package, either) and pan-cooked zucchini topped with parm and Italian seasoning. Salty as hell and it was missing some kind of sauce, like it was dry even by my standards. Zucchini was really good, though, like I was proud of that zucchini. But I’ve always loved ravioli, so it was a major letdown.

biggest vice in the kitchen: when I’m interrupted for any reason—seriously any reason, because, just like with my writing or drawing or working out, I get in the sense of “flow”. I get in the zone. Jarring me out of that leaves me miffed, every single time.

I like having my kitchen clean, too. I learned how to clean as I go from my dad when it was just me and him living together; I get why my mom always gets annoyed when the kitchen is a mess after someone else uses it.

I hate undercooking things, too. I’ve undercooked a quiche, chicken, and burgers so far. Former two have made me cry, the latter I only just started to master. I understand the risk that comes with undercooking things, too—I would much rather overcook something.

What is the Alkaline Diet? A Complete Guide for Beginners

The Alkaline Diet: A Healthy Eating Plan for Optimal Wellness

The alkaline diet has become an increasingly popular way of eating that promotes overall health and wellness. This eating plan focuses on foods that help balance your body's pH levels to create an environment that supports healthy cells and tissues.

What is the Alkaline Diet?

The alkaline diet is based on the principle that the foods you eat can alter your body's pH balance and impact your health. The ultimate goal is to create an internal environment that has a pH ranging from 7.35 to 7.45, which is slightly alkaline. Foods are categorized as either acidic, alkaline, or neutral: Alkaline foods - Fruits, nuts, legumes, and vegetables Acidic foods - Meat, dairy, eggs, grains, alcohol, and processed foods Neutral foods - Natural fats, starches, and sugars By emphasizing alkaline foods and limiting acidic foods, proponents of this diet believe it can help neutralize chronic low-grade acidosis linked to inflammation, fatigue, and increased disease risk.

Benefits of an Alkaline Diet

Following an alkaline diet offers impressive benefits: Promotes pH balance Reduces inflammation Boosts immunity Increases energy Aids weight loss efforts Improves cardiovascular health Strengthens bones Detoxifies the body The diet focuses on nutrient-dense whole foods that provide antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and water to help neutralize acids and remove toxins from the body. Balances pH Levels One of the main goals of the alkaline diet is to balance the body's pH levels. Chronic low-grade acidosis happens when acidic wastes accumulate in the body faster than they can be neutralized. This causes the body's pH to drop into unhealthy ranges. The alkaline diet counteracts this acidity and helps: Regulate fluids and electrolytes Filter out toxins and wastes Transport nutrients into cells Together this provides an ideal environment for cells and systems to function properly. Reduces Inflammation Acidosis creates an environment inside the body that promotes inflammation, a key factor in many chronic diseases. The anti-inflammatory foods emphasized on the alkaline diet can help reduce acidity and calm this internal fire. Some examples include: Fruits high in vitamin C Green leafy vegetables Nuts like almonds and walnuts Plant-based proteins like lentils and beans Lower levels of inflammation helps people feel better day-to-day. But even more importantly, it lowers the risk for disorders caused by chronic inflammation. Other Key Benefits Some other top reasons to follow the alkaline diet include: Increased Energy Levels - A balanced pH provides cells with ideal conditions for producing energy. Healthy Weight - The diet emphasizes low energy-density foods that support weight loss. Strong Bones - The diet provides bone-building nutrients often lacking in modern diets. Detoxification - Alkaline foods help remove acidic waste products and toxins. Together this creates an internal terrain that discourages damaged cells and chronic diseases from taking root.

The Best Alkaline Foods to Eat

Focus your diet around these alkaline superfoods: Fruits Fruits are packed with alkaline-promoting nutrients. Choose fresh or frozen organic when possible. Top picks include: Lemons Watermelon Apple Grapefruit Kiwi Berries Papaya Pears Vegetables Aim for eating a variety of organic vegetables each day. Great options include: Spinach Kale Cucumbers Celery Carrots Sweet potatoes Broccoli Sea vegetables Nuts and Seeds Nuts and seeds are excellent sources of protein and healthy fats. Soak nuts before eating to boost nutrients. Try: Almonds Flaxseeds Pumpkin seeds Sunflower seeds Chestnuts Chia seeds Herbs, Spices and Oils Boost flavor and pH with these additions: Lemongrass Ginger Turmeric Cinnamon Garlic Cold-pressed olive oil Coconut oil Avocado oil

Foods to Avoid on the Diet

To balance your pH effectively, you’ll also want to avoid or limit these acidic foods: Red meat Poultry Seafood Eggs Dairy products Processed grains Sugar Packaged snacks Soda Alcohol Coffee Even whole grains and beans - two staples of healthy diets - should be eaten sparingly since they skew acidic.

Additional Tips for Success

Follow these suggestions to make the most of an alkaline diet: Stay well hydrated with alkaline water Enjoy herbal teas Reduce stress through yoga, meditation, etc. Exercise at least 30 minutes daily Add more raw foods slowly Focus on how you feel As with any significant change to your diet, implement this eating pattern gradually. This gives your body time to adjust its complex systems. Pay attention to the signals your body is sending about the changes. Over time, you should feel less internal "discomfort" and more vibrant energy. Chronic issues you learned to tolerate could show improvement or fade away completely.

The Bottom Line

The emerging research shows an alkaline diet may be an extremely healthy way to prevent damage from modern diets and lifestyles. While studies continue, adjusting your eating pattern to favor alkaline foods poses little risk and offers tremendous potential. It provides a sustainable, nutrient-dense approach to eating that fights inflammation and encourages good health starting on the inside!

Week 1 Recap

Starting weight: 263.1 lbs

Dose: 1/2 (5ml) of 0.25mg (10ml) dose taken in Friday December 7, 2024 at 9:30pm

Experience: Tingling and feeling slight back pain within an hour of taking that 1st dose. The pain migrated to being a all out cramp in my right butt cheek that lasted all night 😂

Day 1 (Saturday): I ate crappy (Chik Fil A & Honeygrow) which was a mistake to eat all of that salty, fatty, greasy foods.

Day 2 (Sunday): I woke up with a massive headache 😫 which started overnight. Hydration is so much more important than I realized. Drinking lots of water helped to take this a bit. I started my morning off by sipping a Seeq protein shake & a Chia Seed Al Fresca I made the night before. I plan on making this a morning ritual but want to add cucumbers🥒, watermelon🍉 and lemon 🍋 for greater hydration and detoxing effects.

AVOID taking Apple Cider Vinegar at all costs! I threw up (all liquid/water) about 1 hour after taking 1 Tbsp. of ACV in 16oz. of water.

Days 3-7 (Monday-Friday): I was traveling for work this week. Zero exercise and fairly indulgent choices for dinner (including lots of alcohol 🍸 and dessert).

In the spirit of balance, I tried to keep breakfast and lunch as low-carb as possible.

Breakfast was usually black coffee, watermelon, and a protein bar/protein pastry; and

Lunch was usually grilled chicken and sautéed vegetables

Now that I'm back home I can recalibrate and plan for the next week. Even though I didn't eat great, I still lost a pound this week!😄

Here's to better choices going forward.
