Well anyway, now that I don't feel depressed, sitting around being unmotivated is unsatisfying. Still unsure how to access the motivation, however.

The quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

That's how the saying goes. You never realized just how true it was until you started working as Captain John Price's assistant. It had started off innocently enough, bringing him a tea or coffee when he asked. Maybe scolding him whenever you found out he skipped lunch.

You had been baking brownies, trying out a new recipe, and you just needed someone to taste them (and maybe help you get rid of the batch if need be). So, you brought them to work, left them in a pretty box on Price's desk when you dropped off his coffee.

You certainly hadn't expected the rest of the task force to come around to your desk, begging to know why you didn't bring any for them. Turn out that not only did Price brag out your baking skills, he's refusing to share with the rest of the task force, despite the fact you had brought more than enough for all of them.

Looks like you're going to have to make more.

As much as i love Dungeon Meshi, i do think that given Ryoko Kui's attention to realistic worldbuilding there ought to be a companion series called Dishes Meshi where they spend 2hrs washing and drying and packing away. Alll the goddamnfuck dishes they just made

HELP

Thinking of nikto sleep headcanons cuz I'm so sleepy rn

. When settling for bed, he loves it when you slip your whole arm under his shirt to rub/feel/scratch his back. The closeness of your arm covering the expanse is the perfect amount of touch for him. He'll tuck his face against yours and grumble contently, nuzzling his broad nose into your cheek before settling down to snooze. His back is so warm, the skin there is hot and textured with rough scars, please trace your soft fingertips over them he'll be knocked out in seconds.

. He definitely snores due to his nose being a little broken. They're loud and muffled, and he's always apologetic if he keeps you awake. He has discovered however that nuzzling his face snugly into your neck or chest does make him snore less. Just hold his head there and he'll sleep soundly with you. Your arms wrapped tight around his head and neck as he breathes you in deeply.

. He's the opposite of a blanket hog. You'll always find them tucked around you in the morning, him somehow pushing them to nestle around your body whilst he's star fished on the mattress and knocked out with only one of his legs covered. He's insistent the cold doesn't bother him, dealt with much worse, he assures you. Usually he wakes up a lot in the night from nightmares, so he'll tuck you in for a smoke outside in the cold before returning to you. Gathering your sleeping body in his arms for a deep embrace, breathing in your scent to ground himself and calm down. His breath smelling of smoke and the skin of his arms still hot despite having been in the freezing cold.

. He twitches/spasms in his sleep or whilst he's settling down to rest. Either it be his foot twitching suddenly and nudging against yours before he apologetically locks ankles. Or his arm nudges against yours hard from him twitching, and he just tiredly grumbles and coos at you in a half-asleep hazed state as he rubs your waist and apologises in slurred mumbled russian.

. He struggles with sleep. It's a continuous battle for him. You do ease him and bring him peace, but sometimes it's not enough to keep the nightmares or insomnia at bay. He'll go through ruts of sleep deprivation where you'll wake up to him staring at you with bloodshot eyes, the early dawn light bleeding through the curtains and the birds chirping outside in the garden as he lays limp besides you, exhausted yet unable to rest. Looking at you brings him some comfort, knowing you're here with him, safe and sound.

. Has a thing about socks in bed. He hates them. He's usually dismissive of his own comfort, but something about the fabric rubbing against his bare ankles beneath the covers makes him shiver. He'll literally peel them off your feet himself if you're stubborn. Yes even if you kick and squeal. Tire yourself out little one, he'll make sure of it. Your feet nudging and kicking at his broad chest is laughable, you're barely moving him. Please forgive him, he loves you. Just not the socks.

. Prefers to be the big spoon on most nights. He needs you fitted perfectly into the space between his arms and chest to fill it with warmth and security. You're like his stress stuffie. He needs to keep you protected and shielded with his body to bring him any semblance of assurance throughout the night. He's also adamant about sleeping closest to the door.

Hello ! I positively adore the running joke of Idia unknowingly finding Lilia to be the coolest guy ever whenever he doesn't know it's him, like when Silver described his father, or obviously with muscle red. I can't say what'd be funnier, Idia finding out his online best friend is actually Lilia, resident spooky hyper fairy; or them both never finding out, and it'd become even more ridiculous as time goes on. How do you think it'll play out ? You're always so on point

(Also, though it makes sense, I'm still devastated bat boy didn't get a ticket for the Halloween skeleton train : ( does anyone mentions him at some point ? Like how he'd have fit right in with all those Halloween town little freaks, and how he'd have impressed them with his spooks and scared techniques; after all he's been every Briar Valley's children worst fear on Halloween for centuries. I'm on the eng server and I didn't wanna spoil myself by watching the whole thing on youtube)

Have a nice day !

you and me both, Idia and Lilia being oblivious online BFFs (+ Idia being incredibly intimidated any time Silver brings up his jock gamer dad) is my favorite running joke/subplot. 🤝 it's SO good, to the point where I also am unsure if I actually want it to ever be resolved or not...maybe, like, as a post-canon stinger or something? everyone's standing around covered in overblot ink, and Idia and Lilia's phones go off at the same time...

(legit I do think this is part of why Idia couldn't be present for Lilia's dream, because for some reason Lilia decided he was going to just. embody his past self online. he probably quotes his own battle strategies or whatever in the middle of boss fights. Idia didn't pick up on the whole "oh how weird that we both live on a super remote island" thing, but he would spend thirty seconds listening to General Lilia describing siege warfare and be like "w-wait")

all that aside, however it does end up happening, I do see Lilia being very blasé and all "oh! cool!" about it. y'know, taking it very much in stride! and Idia...very much not.

(can't tell if tumblr is going to chew this into illegibility or not, this will be a fun surprise ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ)

as for Lilia sadly missing out on Halloweentown shenanigans...he does get one little mention as part of an offhand reference to the light music club, but so far no one has brought up how this basically is just Lost In the Book of Liliatown (Sebek's been too busy yelling about not getting to be in the same group as Malleus). 😔 honestly though, it's probably for the best that he got left out, because he would just settle right in and refuse to ever leave. canon would shatter. we would miss out on all the delightful angst of episode 7 because Lilia is too busy eating poisonous shrubbery inbetween practicing his very best screams, and no one can pull him away from it.

(I can hope for a sequel next year though...)
