unconventional gender neutral terms of endearment ^^

(mostly made this cause my drafts always have "baby" a million times and then i replace them lol)

- pretty (as in pretty girl/boy, but without the gender word attached) - starlight/my star, sunshine - honestly if you put "my" before anything it could probably work as an endearment - animals: firefly (got the idea from sufjan stevens), bunny, dove, mouse, hamster, hummingbird, penguin, monkey ��, kitten (this one's kinda popular) - flowers: tulip, rose, sunflower, a flower that's special between your characters - fruits/vegetables: pumpkin, bean, mango, lychee, kiwi, peach, nectarine, apricot, berry(!!), blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, cherry, etc - sweets! a special weakness of mine is sweets from the person saying the endearment's culture. like if someone who was also indian called me their kaju katli i'd melt (but probably not laddu unless it's clear they're teasing and i get back at them 💀). maybe runs the risk of being cringey tho? honestly as long as it's from the sayer's culture and suits their personality it's fine - examples of sweets that don't belong to a certain culture: cookie, brownie - nature: snowflake, raindrop?? (i guess it works if your character has something to do with water), sprout, sapling

and here's some classic gn terms of endearment if your character's more into that: - darling (i see this as a perfect alternative to princess/prince) - love/my love - lovely/beautiful - baby/babe (can be used in both cute and teasing/suggestive moods) - angel (personal favorite of mine!) - dear (it's so "grown old together" vibes, i'm in love with this one for this purpose) - honey, honey pie, sugar, sweet(ie). honestly if they're used for s/os, it feels kinda old-fashioned. but for parent figures saying it to someone much younger that they care about, children or otherwise? (i'm imagining a southern (from america) beekeeper with no children or spouse of her own who sells her famous honey to buy food for the small army of orphaned children that shows up on her front porch every morning for breakfast. and these are the kinds of things she'd call them. perfection.)

note: gawhdamn requests are here now and then! Yipee!

PAIRING: SACHERTORTE COOKIE x READER

WARNING: FAIR SPOILERS OF EP.2

★IN HER LIFE, SHE HAS A SET OF RULES TO FOLLOW to live through the harsh reality of a cookie, one; no involvement in trivial matters such as attachments. That was Sachertorte Cookie’s first established rule after the betrayal she had experienced as the treasure keeper of the House of Danish. The times when she had been waiting for him, to resolve and keep his promise but to be shunned and left with resentment from the inside of her dough. Forgiveness was something she could not have anymore, she thought to herself, it was a luxury that many cookies have—and it was taken away from her, leaving her with nothing.

When she took part and led the syndicate, she vowed to herself to not have further connections but to make use of each of them with their utility and usefulness, dispose of them in an empty-hearted way once they were not of use to her. They were tools for her revenge and rebellion, so why should she become attached to a group of misfits, they are below her league and paycheck! Well–used to be a paycheck.

But that was her time of irrationality, she couldn’t even think clearly. As time goes by, she leads the Apricot Jam Syndicate, smuggling and thieving valuable artifacts for a quick coin, she becomes more attached to them. More open for connections and bonds as misfits altogether, that was the reason why she had formed the principle that bandits stay with one another, even if it was a hard choice on her part. There was nothing that could make her falter with her stand when she realized the commonality that she and her members have shared from that day, how she realized that she was not alone in her path as a new cookie, a new cookie with responsibilities.

But before that, before that lie, that fiasco, there was one cookie that gave her the last strand of sanity in her life. You, you were her fiancee at that time, now turned spouse. You were there when that happened, you were there when she asked for your hand of comfort, the reason why she hadn’t faced her oppressors head-on during her time of anger. You were her voice of reason, Sahertorte Cookie may have this impression, but inside she holds deep grudges and emotions, to the point it has become intolerable for her. So you were one of the reasons for who she is today, no worries, in a good way for the most part.

And to her luck and fortune, you were there for the most part. Though it was evident you don’t fully support her ways, she found it understandable, but she knew she had to do it. You also have no idea how she was when she heard you would be coming along with her, bandits stick together, and do not leave one behind after all! Well, you are not one, but you are the cheeky little one who decided to steal her heart so that should mean something.

★AS BOTH OF YOU STROLLED to the luxurious corridors of the Grand Hotel, Sahertorte Cookie gave you a wink as she hooked an arm to your arm, a confident smirk on her face as you escorted her to her room. “Don’t act so stiff, darling, these trivials should not leave affect you.” she teased in a reassuring tone, her chin was up high as some residents of the Grand Cabinet Hotel stared at the both of you in awe, some in disgust; knowing the reputation of your wife. “I know, love, but them.” you wince, making Sachertorte Cookie look at you for a moment, before turning her head around to give a venomous look on her face, a plastic smile saying each and everyone who bothered to stare to go away. Leaving people frozen and stiff when they made eye contact with Sachertorte Cookie. “They are not worth your time, they are nothing more than a speck of dust with no significance whatsoever. I assure you, it is not you to blame.” her eyes softened as she noticed your uncomfortable position, overwhelmed by the stares, she knew the feeling as well; she didn’t want you to experience it, not after the suffering of those stares she felt.

She leaned close to your ear, her hot breath tickling your dough as she opened her mouth to speak. “Let us go to our room, they don’t deserve our presence, they don’t know their place.” you turned around, your eyes as wide as a puppy–leaving an arrow in her heart, “Can we, love?” you pleaded, earning a nod from Sachertorte Cookie, “Don’t worry, darling, no one would dare to say anything about you, I will make sure for that.” her voice became more serious, with a lace of concern. Even if Sachertorte has dark words in her mouth, they always bring you strange comfort, perhaps because it is from your wife.

Sachertorte Cookie opened her umbrella, giving you the shade both of you needed, the tip of her Victorian-themed umbrella covering the faces of the people staring at the both of you, her eyes looking at her side, shooting an intimidating stare, the color of her eyes piercing through the dark shade, showing a more menacing aura and display as both of you walk through the hotel to go to your shared room.

As the both of you go to the familiar number labeled room, Sachertorte Cookie closes her umbrella, giving a reassuring smile, as if saying that no one is here to stare. You gave her a soft smile in return, before turning your attention to the doorknob as you slowly twisted it to hear the burst of several voices, calling your wife’s name in unison, your surprise. “Boss!” A voice made you take a massive step back, making your back press against Sachertorte Cookie’s chest, making her make grunt of surprise. “What’s the meaning of this?” Sachertorte Cookie asks, her voice having some authority, as she holds you still, with her hands at the side of your arms, looking back at you to ask if you’re okay, to earn a nod from you to her relief.

A person with a red-orange hood came up, a small person, “Boss! We are here to talk about the plan!” they enthusiastically said, to Sachertorte Cookie’s dismay, making her go forward to silently shush the strange person, “Silence, you don’t want people to eavesdropping.” she warned, earning an apologetic mumble from the person, “Excuse us, my spouse and I have to go inside.” she added, earning your attention as she mentions you. “O-oh right!” from that, the both of you went inside, only to your horror to see two more people with the same colored hood getting comfortable in Sachertorte Cookie’s room, leaving Sachertorte Cookie with an unimpressed look.

“What are you two doing?” she asked, earning the attention of the other two people, making them stand up from their seats “Boss!” the two said at the same time, making them rush into her and begin rambling about something, leaving you there in a confused state, who are they? Why are they talking to your wife? You know about the syndicate, yes, you know practically everything about her! The only thing you didn’t know if the people she would be involved with, but she didn’t seem affected by it to your luck.

You just stood there, hearing their conversation but not knowing what are they saying, leaving you there until you felt a tug at the bottom of your shirt, making you look down to see the 1st person you saw in the doorway, “You, are you a bad guy? Sachertorte Cookie got hurt by a bad guy, so are you the one?” they ask, looking at you with an answer, the bangs covering their expectant eyes, leaving you stunned before you shook your head in reply, “No, No I am not.” you murmured, not knowing what to say as Sachertorte Cookie look at you, and the 2 people looking at you after that. “Who are they?” “Yeah, we didn’t expect any visitors!” They ask, going to you, right away surrounding you to bombard some questions.

You cannot help but be small, one of them was about 2 times your size, and the other one–well, they are close to a squirrel, you believe? “Enough, you are scaring my spouse.” Sachertorte Cookie made the room quiet, with just that, all the three members looking at you with some shock, Sachertorte Cookie is married? They didn’t know that! It was a shocker for the three of them! Eyes were on you, making you look away in embarrassment, but thankfully Sachertorte Cookie stepped in, a stern look on her face as she shooed them away from you. “Yes, they are my spouse, this is YN cookie.” she introduced you to them, making you look at them and awkwardly wave at them, the sudden shift of mood amazes you, as questioning stares shift to looks of awe.

The big one out of the group lifted you like a cat, making you yelp as they got a closer look at you “That one is Walnut”, Walnut looked at you with some marvel, staring at you for a moment before they gave you a nod of approval and put you down in a gentle manner, making sure your feet touched the ground, The squirrel member gets closed to you and moved around you for a second, Sachertorte watching all of this, making a small chuckle, “That is Cashew.” Cashew went on their tippy toes and tilted their head to the side, “Hm, a cookie with potential! Perhaps you want to experience the top-tier cuisine of mine?” Cashew hummed, earning a silent nod from you. Making them humm gleefully.

Lastly, the smallest member, grabs your hand, getting your attention instantly, as they look up to you, and you look down on them. “And last but not least, that is Peanut.” Peanut was clinging to you like a kid, it was alluring to you as they feigned innocence, making you wonder on how they joined a syndicate. Sachertorte Cookie cleared her throat, earning the attention of all of you, “The three of them are the sub-leaders of the syndicate. I expect the three of you to be less obnoxious to my spouse.” she glared at them, but right away they gleefully gave you a big welcome and went to talk to you.

Sachertorte Cookie could not help but smile as she watched from afar, but when you look to her side, You invited her to join in, making her chuckle and comply, this wasn’t bad at all.

After seeing your ask about webcomics, I've been wondering: Have you ever heard of this one webcomic called Apricot Cookie(s)!? It's about a school girl who wants to live her dream anime fantasy, but she's the only one in her friend group that doesn't have magical powers.

I've certainly have heard of it! While the artstyle is cute and the parodic premise has room for loads of potential, I cannot bring myself to read it, nor to add it to my masterlist, solely for the fact that it features fanservice of underaged characters.

Sure, there's a content warning page at the beginning of the comic that mentions the presence of fanservice, but I'm STILL gonna be upset that underaged characters have been chosen to be the subject of sexual scenarios. If you wanna do fanservice, at least certify that your character's of legal age.

Uh some family stuff for my version of Strawberry Shortcake

-Strawberry’s dad is Sunflower Shortcake, based loosely off Mr Sun from the 80s specials. He’s Vietnamese and adopted Strawberry when she was basically an infant

-Both of Huckleberry’s biological parents have passed away. In the present day, he’s been adopted by Ms Dacquoise

-Also in present day, Strawberry and Huckleberry are now stepsiblings as Sunflower Shortcake and Dacqouise have married. She did not change her surname

-Orange’s father is American and her mother is Brazilian. She has an older brother named Mandarin and Apricot is her younger sister

-Tangerine Torta is also Orange’s cousin

-Lemon is being raised by her single mother. She also has an older brother named Citron, but he’s not living with them currently because he’s at college. The Meringue family are Afrolatino

-Lemon and Lime are cousins

-Lime has two dads like in bitbc

-Raspberry’s father is Italian Catholic and their mother is Ashkenazi Jewish. Apple Dumpling is Raspberry’s younger sister who was adopted recently. Later her name would be changed to Apple Tart

-Plum and Bread are twins. Their father is the mayor of the town and they hate him. The Pudding family are Peruvian

-Purple Pieman is also their uncle

-Gingersnap’s mother is Indian and their father is Indigenous American. They have two older siblings named Cinnamon and Caramel. They also have a younger sibling called Butterscotch, who is a renamed Butter Cookie from the 80s version

-Lem and Ada are T.N.’s younger siblings. Their parents suck at naming kids

-Blueberry has two sisters; An older one called Loganberry and a younger one called Lingonberry

-Angel’s family is loosely based on the Puppingtons from Moral Orel. Make of that what you will

-Raisin was raised by her aunt Sour Grapes and Pieman who just kinda lives with them. They also have another aunt Sweet Grapes but no one knows where she is.

Character lineup here

[hapuriainen]

Hapuriainen's animation, comics & games of 2022

It feels every year these get shorter and later... but better late than never!

Anime: 

Ranking of Kings, Magia Record s3, Machikado Mazoku s2, Futari wa Precure Max Heart, Delicious Party Precure, Spy x Family (part 1), Tiger & Bunny s2 (part 1), Yashahime s2, Magic User's Club, Tokyo Mew Mew New

Overall Yashahime was a disappointment but at least the Moroha stuff was good. As for Tiger & Bunny it was a delight to have Kotetsu back since this was my number one series back when the first season came out, but the netflix release model really killed all momentum it could have had and I still haven't managed to watch the second half.

Webcomics: 

Magical Mom, Cloudy Wondrous, Apricot Cookie(s)!, Strawberry Seafoam, Miss Guillotine

This year I read a lot of webcomics, which has been documented on my magical girl tumblr. On the manga front there wasn't anything new but I still continue with many series from past years. A shoutout to One Piece for having its worst year to date but at least the Wano arc is now finally over.

Movies: 

Encanto, Turning Red, Lightyear, some Precure movies, Children of the Sea

Games: 

Zelda Skyward Sword, Link's Awakening, New Pokemon Snap, Hyrule Warriors DE, Pokemon Let's Go Eevee, Pokemon Scarlet

Overall this has been a Game year (rather than anime or manga). I learned that nowadays games save on the console and not the cartridge so I could borrow games from the library and only buy them myself if I liked them enough (and then continue on the same save file). Unfortunately this was after I spent money on Skyward Sword which was not worth the 60€, meanwhile New Pokemon Snap and Pokemon Let's Go were enjoyable for the price tag of 0€ and Hyrule Warriors I had to get for myself and now I have over 100 hours on it. And Pokemon Scarlet was surprisingly fun too.

The awards:

Best work: I guess I have to give this to Hyrule Warriors since I've played it unexpectedly much, the story was dumb but I'm having a lot of fun in Adventure Mode.

Best music: Tal Tal Heights from Link's Awakening, Hyrule Warriors in general having a lot of good music, Area Zero music from Pokemon. Also the Bruno song.

Best visuals: Strawberry Seafoam for reminding me of retro girl shows

Best character design: Cloudy Wondrous, a very cute and creative magical girl look

Best OP: Spy x Family, the song is mellow and fun and the visuals are great

Best ED: Spy x Family for the visuals, no real standout songs this year

Biggest WTF: Children of the Sea overall, what even happened in that movie??

Best Girl: Kuroe from MagiReco

Best Boy: Ehh let's go with Bruno

Best Side Girl: the queen from Ranking of Kings being a surprising highlight of the whole show

Best Side Boy: Arven from Pokemon seemed super cringe at first sight but his bread storyline turned out to be the best part of the whole game. Also Groose from Zelda

Worst Girl: No total duds this year, let's go with Yui from Precure. Or Yuuko from Machikado Mazoku

Worst Boy: n/a

Worst Side Girl: Cia from Hyrule Warriors with her dumb outfit. Or (I'm sorry I know she's popular) Iono from Pokemon kind of annoys me... Oh right also Fi

Worst Side Boy: Trace from Pokemon Let's Go was a major disappointment for a final boss and it didn't really feel anything beating him. Also Porun from Precure

Best romance: For the first time in years I have a ship (botw Link and Zelda) but since I didn't play it this year, let's say that Loid and Yor are always a delight to see in how positive and respectful their relationship is

Best non-romantic relationship: the Spy x Family family stuff

Worst romance: Hyrule Warriors making it a plot point that the game's Link and Zelda will end up as a couple but giving them zero chemistry or development

Worst non-romantic relationship: Yashahime for keeping the new heroines separate from their parents 99% of the time

Plans for 2023:

Botw 2 can’t come out soon enough

Until then I’ll probably keep playing Hyrule Warriors

Pokemon Arceus

Hirogaru Precure

Overall expecting a very Precure year, since they revealed new sequel seasons and I have to watch the originals by then

Evangelion has been on my watch list since 2014, maybe I’ll eventually get to it if I keep including it.

Tiger & Bunny & Spy x Family part 2

TMM New s2
