ranking food tokens by how much personally i want to eat them
- Throne of Eldraine -
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i have reason to distrust this meat pie thing, not only because of its wails of anguish but it also seems to have burst a bit in the oven. still not honestly opposed, at least the dishes are clean. 5/10.
how does one unpeel a curly banana? why are there sliced-open fruits on what appears to be a stone in the woods? where is the light coming from? i'm going to be taken by the fae and it's not even gonna taste too good while i'm at it, these things look dirty. but idk i don't mind someone else taking the wheel of my life rn. 2/10.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
again, concerns about the floor food, but at least it looks more like some deliverygirl got eaten by a wolf and dropped her basket than a trap. someone already took a bite, though, maybe i should leave it be. 4/10
i have been invited to the Goblin King's Feast and while i don't fully agree with his choices i will certainly partake. boar looks wonderful apart from the hair. 7/10
- Commander 2020 / Strixhaven Commander -
Tumblr media
i'm pretty sure cattails are poisonous to humans (not to mention the actual poisons in there) so i unfortunately can't oblige gyome's swamp soup. that crusty bread looks pretty nice though. i'll pick this thing apart like high school cafeteria lunch. 3/10.
- Modern Horizons 2 -
Tumblr media
i at least know who cooked this one, and i trust asmor a decent bit, but this is still food for demons, so maybe it's not too good for me. goddamn do i wanna know what it tastes like though. 4/10.
- Unfinity -
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i'm considering these two together. as a filthy american, i am allured by these fat-filled foods, but as a lad with a tiny stomach, i doubt i could eat enough to feel good about not wasting it. astrotorium's about excess, goddamn. the only funfair burger i've had was the best thing i had eaten in months, but it also made me ill the rest of the day. i really do want some infinity fries though, those look like the golden mean between a steak fry and a curly fry. 6/10.
- March of the Machine Commander -
Tumblr media
meanwhile this looks like a texture nightmare. like i respect it, i imagine it's filling and fulfilling, but i don't think i ever could eat more than a bite or two. bread looks a little worse than gyome's but only a little. 5/10.
- Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-Earth -
Tumblr media Tumblr media
my white ass loves a charcuterie board. and i'm not going to be intimidated out of it by not eating enough, since it's all in snack-sized bits already. definitely gonna overindulge this sucker. i'm nervous about some of those spreads though. 9/10.
this looks like i'm in a dream, is it actively cooking? or still hot? i can't identify what's in that pan anyway. i'm leaving it alone out of respect. wouldn't mind a drink though. 2/10.
Tumblr media
this is not food. for humans. 0/10.
- Wilds of Eldraine -
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is a king's feast i am properly intimidated by. i'm more into it than the Goblin King's, particularly that triple-layer blueberry pie or whatever that is, but i'm going to have to be as polite as possible lest i get a face full of flaming beer. 8/10
i'll probably be eaten before this can eat me, and it barely looks like food, but at least i go down with sugar in the mouth. 1/10.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ogh. that egg looks divine. the bread looks amazing, there's a full glass, i've got like beans or mermaid tears everywhere. we've even got seasonings back there. the best damn breakfast i'll ever have. 10/10.
i would still probably eat this over nothing. there's onion, at least. i will either be hexed or violently ill, but like i could at least get it down. and maybe the witchmother is testing my strength and she'll reward me after slurping an eyeball. a convenient lie to tell myself. 2/10.
- Doctor Who Commander -
Tumblr media Tumblr media
y'know, four, i think i would like a copyrighted candy. they look sad and british, which is on point. but like it's not actively killing me like half of these. i think anyway. i don't know doctor who. 6/10.
what is this? i have no idea. custard? raw batter? giant dunkaroo? is he dipping fishsticks? it doesn't look like it's done cooking, like do we need to put it in a fryer again? i'd say it's inedible but it's not poison stew so i have to be nice. 4/10.
Tumblr media
get AWAY from me. this is a PERSONAL vendetta. i would rather try to eat spiderwebs. plus he's already eaten half of it. -10/10.
- Fallout Commander -
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i can't be too mean since this is literally apocalypse food. i think i prefer this over poison stew? like i recognize it at least, even if it's foul and moldy. man has to eat something. 3/10
i'm not convinced there's actual soda in here. is this just a perspective shot or is this a giant prop soda? i don't like cola anyway. again, worth it in an apocalypse i suppose. 4/10
Tumblr media
this soda i trust even less. it glows? does this give me magic powers in the fallout world or does it just kill me slowly? i think it'll kill me slowly anyway. i need fluid to survive in apocalypseland but damn i hate for it to come to this. 2/10.

Hello, Another Part of this TFA Request, Bot Buddy as Wasp's twin sibling who takes his place
Where Bot Buddy, who disguised as Wasp, became a broken bot, and that now speaks like how Wasp do. She somehow escap from Autobots and didn't held a grudge of that 'incident'
Buddy came to Earth and meet the team prime (if Wasp's in Repair crew, a reunion happens between him and Buddy), also Buddy (and Wasp) reveal their true selves
I have a feeling we are going to see this Buddy a bit more in the future.
Hope you enjoy!
Wasp Twin sister meets Team Prime
SFW, Platonic, Angst, Mention of injury but nothing graphic, Cybertronain reader
TFA
Time didn’t seem to exist within the walls of the stockades.
Half of the time W-2 didn’t even know what was happening anymore.
It was better that way.
Her name was even changed while being in there, she had to constantly remind herself that she was still had a name… but even that was slowly being replaced by the shorten nickname given to her.
2.
Just plain ol’ 2.
She rarely talked anymore and when she did, it was mainly to herself.
The guards made fun of her speech whenever they had the chance to do it.
One night 2 woke up to find the door of her cell wide open.
Thinking this was another trick, she waited a bit.
When nothing happened, she bolted out of the cell and straight to the memorized exits.
She remembered running and running until she reached the local spacebridge.
She punched in random coordinates as the blaring sounds of the alarms shrieked.
2 instinctively tried to transform, but the inhibitor claw on her back prevented her from doing so.
As soon as the bridge turned on, she leaped in, not caring now where it could lead her.
All 2 knew was that she couldn’t stand another day in the walls of the stockade.
She was free falling when she appeared on the other side.
2 landed on a pile of trash.
2 rubs her helm while throwing a greasy banana peel off her helm.
“Ow! Stinky garbage hurt 2.”--2
The garbage bot starts collecting the garbage including her.
It starts compacting.
2 starts clawing fruitlessly at the wall and screaming.
“NO, NO, NO! 2 DON’T WANT TO GO! 2 DON’T WANT TO GO!”--2
SLICE!
The machine had been sliced in half thanks to the quick thinking of Optimus Prime.
He had just been in the area when he heard a bunch of screaming coming from the garbage bot.
He thought it was a couple of humans caught, he was not expecting a bot that looked a little bit like Bumblebee to spill out. The bot in question looked at him and scurried into a corner in the alley and placed her servos on her helm, shaking like a leaf.
Optimus carefully approaches her slowly putting his axe down and getting on his knees.
“Hello.”--Optimus
The bot looks up a bit but keeps quiet.
“My name is Optimus Prime—”--Optimus
The bot curls up even more.
“Like Sentinel bot?”—2
Optimus shakes his helm.
“No, I’m not like or am Sentinel. How do you know who Sentinel is?”--Optimus
The bot shaking lessens.
“Truck bot save 2. 2 like nice Truck bot.”—2
“Your name is 2?”—Optimus
2 nods.
“Just 2.”--2
Optimus smiles before noticing her pede sparking.
“You’re hurt.”--Optimus
She looks down at the injury, wincing a bit as the spark grew a bit.
“Oh… 2 hurt...”--2
“Listen 2, I have a field tech back on my base—”—Optimus
2 looks at him in panic.
“No!”--2
“No?”--Optimus
“Truck bot take 2 to get arrested! 2 not go back to stockades! Not go back!”—2
She tries to get up but yelps when the pain shoots up and crumbles.
Optimus catches her.
“Listen 2, your injured, I promise whatever this is about the stockades won’t happen because you get arrested when the other first see you. You have my word.”—Optimus
2 looks at him in fear and uncertainty.
“2… not get arrested on sight? Truck bot promise?”--2
“Yes. You have my word.”—Optimus
He holds out his servo for 2 to take it.
She does hesitantly.
Optimus carefully carries 2 in his arms.
2 freezes a bit before relaxing in his arms.
This… this felt nice…
Optimus sends a message to Ratchet to get the med bay ready and to prep everyone for someone’s arrival.
2 just clinging on the only source of positive touch she had received in what seemed like millennia.
She doesn’t see the bots due to her slightly buried helm in Optimus’s chassis.
She gets set on the med slab and that’s when her optics zero in on Bumblebee and Bulkhead.
“Is that W-2?!”--Bulkhead
2 starts clinging on Optimus arm shaking furious.
“Prime! You brought a spy to our base!”--Bumblebee
“2 not spy. 2 is just 2.”--2
“What happen to your voice?”—Bulkhead
Bumblebee gets up in 2’s face with an angry expression on his face.
“And why are you here traitor?! You’re ready to try and con us too?!”--Bumblebee
THUD!
2 passes out on the med slab.
Bumblebee and Bulkhead explain their history with 2 in their early days in the boot camp.
After she was taken away, many things were no longer the same.
Bumblebee and Bulkhead couldn’t believe that she was the spy all along. She didn’t look like a spy or acted like one, but maybe that was the whole point.
Her arrest took the biggest toll on Wasp.
The bot was fighting any bot that got on his nerve and was nearly expelled from boot camp if he suddenly didn’t stop.
His overall mood and attitude did change a bit.
He could still be insensitive and play pranks, but they were significantly fewer than before. Wasp even became good acquaintances with Bumblebee at one point.
It was thanks to Wasp’s recommendation that he and Bulkhead were partnered in the same space bridge repair crew when he moved a bit through the ranks.
Ratchet, meanwhile, is mentally taking note of some injuries that had been untreated in a while.
It was clear that wherever this bot came from, it wasn’t a good place.
Especially when he saw the damage made to her voice box. That explained the rough speech.
When Bee and Bulkhead are done with the story, it leaves some questions and mixed feelings about the bot.
“There is still something off about all of this.”--Optimus
“Like what?”--Sari
“You told us she admitted to being the spy when Wasp was being taken away right?”--Prowl
“Yeah?”--Bumblebee
“No spy in their right processor would through themselves under the bus for one bot, family or not. Just me kid, I’ve met plenty of spies in my lifetime. She is not spy material.”—Ratchet
“But then…”--Bumblebee
“Do you mean…”--Bulkhead
“I don’t think 2 is a spy.”--Optimus
Bee and Bulkhead share a look.
If she wasn’t the spy… then who was?
She comes around and starts to shake seeing bee and bulk
Optimus carefully moves in front of her to not let her see Bumblebee and Bulkhead.
“2 don’t want to go back!”--2
2 tries to get off the med slab but Prowl and Ratchet hold her down.
“No one is taking you back 2.”—Prowl
2 stops abruptly.
“2 not?”--2
Prowl sits down next to her.
“We have a feeling you’re not really the spy, but we can only confirm it if we hear your truth. Can you do that?”--Prowl
2 looks down shaking her helm.
“Are you trying to protect someone?”--Prowl
2 freezes and refuses to look anyone in the optic.
Sari comes next to her putting both of her hands in hers.
“Hi. My name is Sari, Sari Sumdac.”--Sari
“S-Sari?”--2
“Yeah, I really want to be your friend 2. You look like a nice bot to be friends with.”--Sari
2 looks at her with wide optics.
“Sari… want be friends with 2?”—2
Sari nods.
“But we can’t if we don’t know what happened. Don’t you want to tell someone?”--Sari
2 nods her helm weakly.
Sari squeezes her hands a bit.
“Nothings going to happen to you if you tell us.”--Sari
“Promise?”--2
“Pinky promise!”--Sari
2 tells them about how scared she felt when she saw her twin being wheeled out after an accusation that should have had more evidence.
She took the blame to save him.
Everything she said on the spot was false and she had hoped that Sentinel was dumb enough to take the bait and take her instead.
At that moment she didn’t care how it made her look, she was worried for her twin’s safety.
She is crying and refuses to look at anyone in the optic.
Sari give 2 a hug around her neck cables.
“You did a good job 2.”
2 shakingly reaches to gently hug Sari back as the tears in her optics make everything look blurry.
She feels someone sitting next to her and a servo pulling her into a side hug.
The blob on yellow is all she needs to know who it is.
“I’m sorry for calling you a spy 2… do you think—”
2 puts her helm on his shoulder trying to stifle another sob.
The message is clear.
Bulkhead starts to pat her helm making her cry even more.
Sari pulls away and looks at 2.
“Sari?”--2
“I don’t like 2. You need a new name.”--Sari
2 points at herself.
“New name?”--2
Sari nods and smiles.
“And I know just the name, Buddy!”--Sari
She tilts her helm a bit.
“Buddy?”—Bumblebee, Bulkhead and 2
Then she starts to smile.
“Buddy! Buddy like name. Buddy is new name. Buddy thank Sari. Sari, Sari, Sari!”—Buddy
Bulkhead pulls the entire team in for a group hug.
Buddy is in the center of it spilling some tears.
For the first time in a long time, she felt safe.
Buddy was finally safe…

SPOILERS!!! REFERENCES AND EASTER EGGS IN F&C ep. 6: THE WINTER KING
This one didn't post before for some reason.
Tumblr media
These fellas are iceclopses as seen in Prisoners of Love, and in the pilot episode before that.
Tumblr media
This musical section is animated by Smallbu, who previously animated the story sections of Ketchup and most of Beyond the Grotto.
Tumblr media
Cake selfcest moments volume 2.
Tumblr media
Ice Marceline raises some questions! I've seen a lot of people theorise that this means Marcy is dead but I don't think that's necessarily true. Presumably she was pretty pissed off with the Winter King when he turned her ex into an insane maniac and lost some of himself in the process. What is a mystery is how the Winter King got his hands on her bass guitar, which she is very attached to.
Tumblr media
The shopkeeper at the candy store is Lord Monochromicorn, who is mute just like in his original appearance. Also that vending machine is obviously modelled after the Gumball Guardians.
Tumblr media
There's a brand of candy called Heartstopper. That's the name of a famous real-life series of British gay highschool romance graphic novels, which seems appropriate for this very slice-of-life Gumlee (Garylee?) subplot.
Tumblr media
The humanised Lemongrabs are called the Lemoncarbs, which is what Tree Trunks mistakenly called them in the episode Mystery Dungeon.
Tumblr media
The Winter King says it would be unethical to make an ice Betty, which is a bit hypocritical considering he has an ice Marcy in his basement.
Tumblr media
This is humanised Bee Princess. They don't look very genderswapped but maybe he's just femme.
Tumblr media
The Candy Queen's eyes match the eyes of Bubblegum's yak in the episode Bonnibel Bubblegum, which was itself a reference to Tank Girl.
Tumblr media
Both songs in this episode were written by Pat McHale, who has been with the show since the pilot episode.
Tumblr media
Fionna exclaims "This is what was missing!" while slicing up the banana guards, which is what Finn exclaimed for slightly more wholesome reasons in the episode What Was Missing.
Tumblr media
Gary's innate desire to create the Candy Kingdom is manifesting itself in his baking. It was very dark seeing his cute biscuits paralleled with the real candy people being brutalised by Fionna and Cake.
Tumblr media
It's still not clear why things keep getting de-magicked when Fionna and Cake interact with them. Perhaps it's just a passive ability they have because they come from a non-magic universe, but it doesn't happen to everything they touch.
Tumblr media
Bubblegum seems to have learned how to use her candy powers in this universe despite the fact she was cursed a hundred years ago and presumably hasn't had the chance to learn that she's an elemental. Perhaps she learned it from her time being the Candy Queen.
Tumblr media
When Marshall Lee asks for more details about Gary's Candy Kingdom, he begins describing the plot of Slumber Party Panic, the first episode of Adventure Time.
Tumblr media
According to production notes, baby world was created by BMO's wish. The monkey's paw twist was that he lost his personhood and became a baby monitor.
Tumblr media
This episode's dream features an ice fortress shaped like the crown.

It's my personal headcanon that there is a bread slicer in Wayne Manor but the batkids use it for anything BUT slicing bread.
Pineapple, honeydew, banana.
You can usually find scraps between certain parts of the machine because no one can be bothered to properly clean this thing.
Sometimes it's just gone.
And then found three months later in a closet hidden behind some old vacuum cleaner and smelling like Death themself has used this bread slicer.
Nobody admits who did it. Nobody admits what caused this smell.
The most likely answer is that someone used it for meat, but who knows.

Tumblr media
fandom: haikyuu ship: nishinoya yuu x oc/reader status: complete ao3 link
"I think you're really pretty. Will you go out with me?" That was the first thing he's ever said to her. And needless to say, Amari Chiyo was not impressed. So as promised, Nishinoya Yuu will get to know her better and confess again. And again. And again. And again. It'll take 6 years and 9 confessions, but he'll get there. Eventually.
⌦ content: fluff, light angst, love at first sight, friends to lover, slice of life
⌦ note: you are free to insert yourself into Chiyo, just keep in mind she has her own character/backstory. i know some people don't like that, so just a heads-up.
story masterlist | previous chapter | next chapter
Tumblr media
The fifth time he confessed was a little less than a year later — a few months into their first year of high school.
After a few grueling months of study sessions and a little bit of luck, Nishinoya barely managed to scrape by on the entrance exams. They went to the results board together on that cold winter day, along with Hotaru and Kaito. Neither of the kids were surprised to see Chiyo’s number there, but when Kaito somehow caught Nishinoya’s exam number on the bottom right while perched on his shoulders, they celebrated with so much enthusiasm Kaito nearly lost his balance and fell off.
So when April rolled around, Nishinoya and Chiyo were once again attending the same school. Though with Chiyo’s better grades, she ended up in Class 1-4 – a college preparatory class – while Nishinoya was put in Class 1-2.
The day club applications began, Nishinoya immediately joined the volleyball club. He encouraged Chiyo to join a club of her own or even run to become a class rep again like she had in middle school, but she refused.
Instead, she put all her energy into applying for a part-time job. She was hired at a small media and repair store near school, run by a little old lady and her grumpy calico cat. They sold all kinds of electronics, from old VHS tapes to the newest gaming consoles. They also had a huge catalog of DVDs that the old lady often insisted Chiyo borrow for the week to watch on her own. 
Despite the two of them being in different classes and volleyball practice running longer than they did in middle school, Nishinoya’s visits never stopped. He’d drop by after a quick text, eat dinner, do homework, play some volleyball with Kaito, watch a movie then head home for the night. He became such a regular presence that even Chiyo’s father, who was rarely home due to his busy schedule, knew his name and often included his portion whenever he brought back desserts for the kids. 
Chiyo would scold him, telling Nishinoya to go home to rest and that his body must be tired after a long day of volleyball and school. To which Nishinoya would simply remind her that he had to return the lunch box she brought him. Something Chiyo started doing after she found out Nishinoya often only bought banana bread for lunch from the school store.
And that day, Chiyo was on her way to the gym as usual. She preferred to deliver his lunch in the mornings, right after she got to school. Like that, she wouldn’t have to spend her lunch time trying to track him down between the classroom, the gym, or the vending machine.
As she climbed the staircase, she could hear the sharp screeches of sneakers scraping against the gym floor. Despite not being a powerhouse school, Karasuno seemed to take volleyball pretty seriously. 
“Nishi-”
“Kiyoko-san!” Before she could call out to him, the sound of two boys’ boisterous voices interrupted her. She instinctively hid around the corner so as not to bother them. It took a second before it registered in her head that one of the two voices belonged to Nishinoya. 
“Kiyoko-san, do you need any help carrying anything?” Someone asked.
“Kiyoko-san, you look beautiful as always today!” Nishinoya shouted.
“No thanks.”
Chiyo felt her heart drop.
She snapped her head around in time to see Nishinoya and a boy with short, fuzzy blond hair run up to a girl just as she entered the gym from the back door. He wasn’t kidding. With shoulder-length black hair and large black eyes, the girl had an air of adult maturity to her, someone who was stoic and passionate yet aloof with their intentions.
Suddenly, the name Kiyoko jogged her memory. Nishinoya had mentioned her during dinner a few months back when he told her all about the club. Her name was Shimizu Kiyoko and she was their one and only manager. 
He spoke highly about her, going on and on about how pretty and responsible she was. But Chiyo had always sort of disregarded his comments. After all, Nishinoya did the same thing with a character in their old literature textbook. But seeing him fawn over another girl, a real one at that, made Chiyo’s heart clench with an emotion she couldn’t quite put her finger on. 
“Guys, stop bothering- Oh!” An upperclassman with short brown hair approached the gym from behind her. “Hey, are you looking for someone?”
Chiyo blinked. “Um, I’m looking for Nishinoya. I have his lunch.”
“Nishinoya!”
“What is it, Daichi-san, ah!” Nishinoya’s eyes lit up upon seeing her. “Amari!”
As he began to make his way over, Chiyo suddenly felt the urge to run. There was a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach and in the moment, she wanted to be anywhere but there. But she still had his lunch in hand, and there was a part of her that stubbornly wanted to complete the delivery.
“Here,” she shoved the neatly-packed boxed lunch in his hands, not even bothering to make eye contact. “It’s leftovers from last night, so don’t expect too much.”
“I’m sure it’s delicious,” Nishinoya took the box and grinned. “Thanks as always!”
“Noya-san, this girl’s always bringing lunch for you. What’s up with that?” At this point, the boy with blond hair began to approach them. His eyes then widened as an idea dawned on him. “Wait, don’t tell me she’s your girlfriend or something?!”
“She’s-”
“No, I’m not!” Before Nishinoya could respond, Chiyo cut him off perhaps a bit too loudly. “I’m just his middle school classmate. I’m only making him lunch 'cause if I don’t he’s just gonna end up buying banana bread for lunch and be short forever.”
“Excuse me?!” 
“You have your lunch now, right?” Meeting Nishinoya’s offended look with a sharp one of her own, Chiyo quickly turned on her heel. “I’m leaving. Bye!”
She walked briskly away, feeling more and more breathless the further away she got from the gym. She wanted to outrun it all, the sound of her beating heart, the emotions that bubbled in her chest and the hot tears that pricked at her eyes. When she saw Kiyoko, all she could think about was the day he first confessed to her under the cherry blossoms nearly three years ago. She had warned him that he would lose interest overtime. But when faced with reality, she felt like she was the one who lost something.
Her steps slowed as she reached her classroom. It then occurred to her that this wasn’t anything new. Nishinoya has been fawning over other girls for as long as she’s known him. And thinking back on it, the only reason he gave for confessing to her initially was because she was pretty, nothing more. 
A classmate opened the door, cocking her head curiously at Chiyo who stared up at their classroom tag in a daze.
“Amari-san? What’s wrong?”
Chiyo looked at her.
“Boys are stupid.”
Tumblr media
After her shift at the media store that evening, Chiyo was surprised to find Nishinoya waiting outside with two soda-flavored popsicles.
She initially thought that he wouldn’t want to speak to her for at least a good while, after how strangely she behaved in front of his teammates. But to her surprise, he simply gave her his usual greeting and smile before tossing the extra popsicle in her direction. 
“Come on, let’s go home.”
“Oh, okay…”
As they set off, Nishinoya tore his popsicle packet open and began chomping down. Chiyo watched him, fidgeting at the sound of crinkling plastic.
“Hey, Nishinoya,” she swallowed hard. “I’m sorry about what I said today.”
He gave her a confused look. “What are you talking about?”
“Well, I… I called you short in front of the entire volleyball team,” she murmured, still refusing to make eye contact. “I didn’t mean it. I was just in a bad mood and I… I’m just really sorry.”
"Oh, what, that?" Nishinoya scoffed. "Don't sweat it, it's whatever. Kaito's been calling me that for like a year."
“Kaito’s still young,” Chiyo shook her head. “But I… should’ve known better than to make petty remarks like that.”
“Like I said, don’t worry about it,” he waved a hand before quickly finishing his popsicle in two bites and checking the stick. “Dang, another dud.”
Chiyo’s lips quirked up a little before falling. “So Shimizu-senpai, huh?” She opened her popsicle packet. “She’s really pretty.”
“Wait, you know Kiyoko-san?!”
Nishinoya sounded so excited and Chiyo felt a lump forming in her throat. “I saw her when I dropped off lunch for you today.”
“That’s right, that’s right,” he tossed the wooden stick into a public trash can. “Yeah, she’s super pretty, isn’t she? A literal goddess. I heard she’s been the club manager since last year.”
Chiyo nodded before averting her eyes, pretending to admire the street view she’s seen more than a hundred times already. “Well, I better not hear any more of your random confessions from now on,” she said half-jokingly.
“Huh, what are you talking about?” Nishinoya stopped walking. “I still like you, Amari.”
Chiyo nearly dropped her popsicle. She turned to look him in the eye. 
He was dead serious.
“Why would you say something like that?” She snapped, immediately losing all composure. 
Nishinoya cocked his head to the side. “Because it’s true.”
“What do you mean ‘because it’s true’?” Chiyo’s eyes widened with exasperation. “You were literally just gushing about how pretty Shimizu-senpai is. Don’t tell me you’re like one of those sleaze bags in shoujo manga that’ll flirt with anyone you find even mildly pretty.”
“What? No! I mean yeah, Kiyoko-san is pretty and all. But,” he then thumped his chest with a confident smile. “In the end, my heart will always belong to you.”
Her lips parted slightly.
“Don’t say stuff like that, you idiot!” Those were the first words she found herself able to say. “You idiot. You’re such an idiot! The biggest idiot that’s ever existed in the history of idiots!”
“I’m not an idiot!”
“Yes, you are! You’re a shallow, stupid idiot!” Chiyo shouted back, trying to ignore the sore feeling in her nose. “You can’t tell me you don’t have even a little bit of a crush on her. I saw you and that blond kid trying to get all cozy with her. You even call her by her first name even though you’ve only known her for like, what? Two months?”
“Amari, I-”
“I’m completely fine with being friends with you, Nishinoya,” she cut him off, trying her best to avoid his pointed gaze. “I just… I don’t want to date someone who only wants to get to know me half-heartedly.”
Nishinoya rubbed his forehead, eyes flickering up to glance at the setting sun. Taking a deep breath, he then gingerly took her hand and pried her fingers off the hem of her jacket sleeve.
“Look, Amari,” he spoke as softly as he could. “Kiyoko-san to me is more like… a goddess. Someone you put on a pedestal and admire, but still way outta your reach. But when I’m around you, I feel… way more comfortable. Like when I get to see you at home cooking dinner, not giving a damn about your hair, and getting mad at us, I get really happy. Cause it feels like a side to you that only I get to see.”
He looked up to see Chiyo’s dark blue eyes glassy with what seemed to be tears.
He mentally cursed himself.
“I get what you mean though,” he gave an awkward chuckle. “I mean I literally asked you out the day we met without knowing anything about you. But I promised to get to know you better, and you know…” there was a faint tug at his lips. “The more I get to know you, the more I like you. So trust me. I’d never ask you out with anything other than pure intentions, m’kay?”
Chiyo felt her heart stop as he smiled at her. Her breath was caught in her throat, and when she reminded herself to breathe again, her heartbeat became so erratic she was sure the entire prefecture could hear it. 
“Y-You idiot!” Those were the only words that came out when she found her voice again.
“Wha-?” Nishinoya looked genuinely confused. “Why am I still an idiot?”
“Because you just are!” Chiyo turned away, biting down on her popsicle in a feeble attempt to stop the rising heat in her cheeks. She couldn’t understand how he could say something so cringey with a straight face. She then peeked over her shoulder, watching as Nishinoya became lost in thought, wondering exactly what he said that made him an idiot.
“But… Do what you want, I guess,” she murmured just loud enough for him to hear.
Nishinoya’s eyes lit up.
“You got it!”
After that little kerfuffle, the two of them continued on their way home under the setting sun when Nishinoya spoke again.
“But you know, if you wanted me to call you by your first name, you could’ve just asked.”
Chiyo averted her gaze. “When did I ever say that?” 
“You got all jealous over how I call Kiyoko-san by her name,” he reminded her with a mischievous grin. “Come on, I’ll start calling you by your first name too.”
“I wasn’t jealous,” she grumbled.
“Come on, Chiyo.” Ignoring her obviously false remark, Nishnoya poked her arm. “Say it. Yuu~”
Chiyo’s eyes wandered from their surroundings to Nishinoya to her feet. She pressed her lips together, struggling for a moment to find her voice.
“Y-Yuu…” Her voice was barely a whisper. 
Satisfied, Nishinoya smiled. “I like you, Chiyo.”

Knightstone Household: Chapter 9, Part 1
Tumblr media Tumblr media
3am, Chestnut Ridge, Winter
Pollock babbles and crawls around the bedroom he shares with his older brother who is inconveniently asleep.
Suzanna: Excuse me, where do you think you’re going
Pollock: wa up Sil as
Suzanna: Oh no, we’re not going to wake your brother, come here trouble. We’ll give you a quick feed then back to bed you go
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Scooping up her youngest Suzanna takes the time to appreciate him being so small. It’s technically his birthday but no one ages up at this time of night so she will have a few more hours of him like this. When he’s a toddler she’ll get back to work but might take a day off now and then to spend with him when Adam has work. After she burps him she lays him o his back in the crib.
Suzanna: Sleep now Moondust, sleep. And may starships carry you through your dreams
With her soothing Pollock settles and falls asleep.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Turning around Suzanna can see her husband Adam has also popped in to tuck in Silas. He didn’t like the idea of having kids but he does love his sons. When he motions for the pair to head out the door she scoops him in to a hug.
Adam: Well hello to you to. What was that for
Suzanna: I just missed you between rotations, that’s all
Adam knows his paranoid wife has some weird ideas like mods and rotations. He’s found over the years it’s best not to question her or he’ll just blow his hot headed top.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Heading up to their bedroom Suzanna passes her collection of living aliens and frogs. She wants to add to the frogs but there’s not many spawn spots around. She also smiles at the cloning machine. She loves her crystal collection but is excited to see if she can gain the gemology skill and start cutting some to make a prettier display than the one that lies in the library.
Tumblr media
When the day finally dawned Adam was reluctant to get up. His first task was to make a cake and he was sure something would go wrong and make him mad.
Adam: Starlight, how about we just lie here?
Suzanna: On Pollock’s birthday?
Adam: I can’t hear him, he must be fine
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then from the room below them came the panicked cries of a child alien.
Silas: OH MY WATCHER
Suzanna: Guess our other son needs us. Get up lazy bones
Silas: MUMMY! MUMMY!
Suzanna races in to find Silas panicking and Pollock watching him from his crib curiously. Scooping up the infant she turns to Silas.
Suzanna: What’s wrong Starshine?
Silas: Mummy! There’s a monster under my bed
Suzanna: *snuggles Pollock* a monster?
Silas: With awful long tentacles
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Suzanna: Silas, Starshine, we’re aliens. Maybe the monster under the bed is as afraid of you as you are of them
Silas: *calming down* Do... do you think?
Suzanna: You might be the first alien it’s seen. Why not try introducing yourself
Silas: Okay Mummy. I guess... I could try
He sits down and begins to try communicating while Suzanna lifts Pollock up for a kiss.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Suzanna: Who’s birthday is it? Is it yours?
Pollock giggles and kicks his legs happily.
Tumblr media
In the kitchen Adam is cooking. He was going to do the cake first but a glance at the stocks told him they were low on cereal. Cooked breakfast it is. He enjoys cooking, but between trying to manage the kids and establish himself as an art critic his skills are still only so so.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When he’s almost finished a sulky Silas comes in.
Adam: Pancakes are almost-
Silas: Daddy there’s a monster under my bed!
Adam: Have you tried punching it in the face
Silas: No...
Suzanna: He doesn’t need to do that, he can befriend it. For all we know it’s from Sixam like us
Adam: *sighs* Let’s eat
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The family sit around the table and Suzanna grabs some banana slices for Pollock.
Adam: Surely if the monster scares him he should fight back
Suzanna: Adam not every problem should be solved with violence
Adam: Yet you built a simray
Silas: *sadly* I want a simray
Suzanna: You’re too young for a simray
Adam: Maybe we should wait until you’re a teen
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Suzanna: Open wide Pollock, here comes the spaceship
Pollock giggles madly and waves his arms as the banana piece comes closer. After swallowing he smiles and blows a raspberry.
Adam: Okay, I’ll admit it, I might miss this having an infant thing
Silas: Can I get a second brother? Please Daddy please
Adam: *laughs* Oh no way in hell kid. One brother is your lot
Silas: But Mummy-
Suzanna: Daddy has decided, we are good as a four
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Adam: Why would you need another one when you have me and Pollock
Adam pulls a funny face which makes Silas giggle while Pollock smooshes his food into his mouth. He does love banana.
Suzanna: Are you alright to make the cake
Adam: Yeah, and I’m sure Silas can help me
Silas: If the monster doesn’t eat me first

Dear Sephiroth: (a letter to a fictional character, because why not) #87
I'm still going to procrastinate talking about ACEs. Though it's not because I'm too terribly frightened of writing about it at this moment; I have a vague plan about where I wanna start. No, today I'm procrastinating because Br is visiting my house for today!!! And this is the greatest thing ever all by itself, but!!! She brought over a thing called "Cream of Rice"!!
Tumblr media
It is basically a box full of rice that has been ground into a fine powder, with vitamins and minerals added. I had never seen anything like it before!
Br prepared the cream of rice on the stovetop in my trusty wok with milk, salt, and butter! Then we put almond butter, blueberries, and sliced bananas in it! And I gotta say, the resulting stuff was SO AWESOME that we ate it all up before I even thought to take a picture for you. I'm sorry. I'll work on that.
At my house, we tend to get giant 50-pound (22.5-ish kilograms) bags of medium-grain rice (it's almost, but not quite like short-grain rice, which is the typical rice in Japan), which has a different texture and consistency than the typical rice that is available in the United States; I assume if I grind up this rice into a fine powder, it will have a slightly different consistency than the ground rice in the box.
Tumblr media
…Oh right. You probably have no idea what my world looks like, so words like "United States" and "Japan" likely mean nothing to you. That probably doesn't seem very fair, given that I know very well what yours looks like by now. Here, let's fix that; you can use this to see how my planet is shaped:
I live somewhere around here…
Tumblr media
...And Japan is over here:
Tumblr media
…Unless your planet is comprised mostly of massive, giant oceans, I think your planet must be a lot smaller than mine. It seems likely that this would also mean that your gravity is weaker than ours. And since your planet still has stunning sunsets (despite the fact that your atmosphere is probably a lot smaller, if your planet is smaller, which means the light gets bent/filtered less), I assume your atmosphere must be a bit more dense than ours, too. And these factors combined might explain why you all can have such crazy-looking flying machines that would absolutely not be possible in my world. But I digress…
Anyway! So sometimes I like to make rice pudding in my handy-dandy rice cooker with regular ol' medium-grain rice; it's got a stickier consistency than the usual rice that's available here, which makes for AMAZING pudding! But with this new "discovery" (haha!) of powdered rice and knowing full well of its deliciousness, my mind filled with ALL SORTS OF POSSIBILITIES, oh my goodness!!
…So I took my medium-grain rice and used my handy-dandy spice grinder (got it as a prize at an old job I had!) to grind it into very fine powder! Here…
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So then, I went and measured out two cups of the rice powder with my handy-dandy rice cup!
Tumblr media
Then I filled the rice cooker with milk, up until the "2" line for white rice. After that, it's 1 tbsp of butter for each cup of rice! Easy peasy!
Tumblr media
Once the rice is done cooking, you're supposed to add heavy cream and sugar - 2 cups of heavy cream and half a cup of sugar, in any case. But… well… it got weird:
Tumblr media
It seems like the increased surface area of the rice, combined with the sticker consistency of short-grain rice, yielded a kind of… weird sort of rice cake? I broke it into pieces, but it's still pretty clumpy. It's not ready for sugar and heavy cream yet. After tasting some of it, it was pretty good, but I concluded that it was still a bit undercooked. So I added a bit more milk (I didn't measure; sorry...) and stirred it until it stopped being absorbed, and then added a little more milk after that, and I am putting the heat on it again as I'm writing this; hopefully that should soften any remaining clumps, but we'll see! I've never worked with powdered rice before, and I have no idea what to expect! Kitchen adventures! Now we wait for the rice cooker to beep!
That said, I am wondering if the nature of powdered rice makes it necessary to stir it continuously while cooking so that it doesn't clump like this. I imagine a wok and a whisk might be the thing to do for future iterations of "Cream of Rice Pudding". Also, Br brought some masala chai teabags in addition to the cream of rice, so I wonder what it would be like to cook the powdered rice with brewed masala chai and a little bit of honey instead of just milk or just water. I'm eager to find out!!! But not today! Next time!
...Okay! So the rice cooker beeped and is done, so I stepped away from writing to check it out, and!! Oh!! It turned out REALLY WELL. So I added the cream and sugar, and this was the result:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So, I think due to chemistry, physics, and surface area, next time I'll need to fill the rice cooker to the 3 line, or maybe even to the 4 line, for 2 rice cups full of powdered rice. From there, it's business as usual - 2 cups of heavy cream and half a cup of sugar. At Br's suggestion, I sprinkled in just a pinch of pink salt into my bowl (pink salt has iron in it!), and the result was EVEN BETTER. I wanna eat another bowl because it was THAT GOOD, but I know that if I do, I'm gonna end up feeling sick, so I'll make use of my impulse control skills and delayed gratification skills instead, even though that's really hard.
It's very tasty and VERY filling; I wish that I could give you a bowl of it. The fact that I cannot give you bowls filled with delicious things continues to be a source of very real grief for me. But it is what it is. I can only hope that my intentions reach you somehow, and that through this you can learn about all the awesome snacks and make them for yourself someday, as impossible as that probably is...
Well. My being here to begin with seemed like an impossibility at one point. So maybe I'll try to keep an open mind. Maybe I'll imagine that all these wonderful flavors and all these wholesome feelings can reach you and move you, somehow...
...Somehow...
Hey Sephiroth? I'm glad you're here, even if I can only know of you in an abstract sense. I'm glad you're here, even if you're just an art form. Even though you've been through so much stuff, and even though your heart and your mind probably hurt a lot right now... still I'm glad you're here. So please keep trying to learn about the kind and gentle things. Please keep seeking out the beautiful and loving things. And please try to make good choices so that no one else has to get hurt.
I love you and I'll write again tomorrow, so please stay safe out there.
Your friend, Lumine

meal plan text asmr
i normally have breakfast at work because of my proton pump inhibitor. tomorrow i wfh the morning to do a training so i’ll be having sesame toast with a boiled egg, feta, and whatever pickle and veg looks good. then for the rest of the week’s breakfasts i have one yogurt (lucas found me the icelandic coffee yogurt!!) and friday morning tbh, probably the last of my ezekiel toast with communal work peanut butter unless i pick up cottage cheese/yogurt. today i worked remotely at a coffee shop and i grabbed a bad scone, RIP. (adding to shopping list: ezekiel bread, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, bananas, the icelandic coffee yogurt but that’s only at whole foods.)
at work right now i’ve been having paramount (local brand) k cups that corey gifted me. i got him a gift card for the new downtown coffee shop so he can grab it between his bus job (he herds teenagers for the school public bus program. his real title is abussador :)) and he got me k cups for my work. i froth half and half to dress up the k cup, and my coworker brought in half and half she needs used up, so i don’t need to bring mine. (another week before i have to buy more.) i hate using the disposables and am considering literally committing to work french press like an absolute psycho—i just can’t get myself enough time before work to make and bring it from home and the refillable k cups will do but are gross. if you have to survive a keurig at work i recommend nasty refillables + steaming and frothing milk. i have half a bag of not great beans at home. I’ve been spending more on nicer beans for home and it has been worth it, but I am still not quite sure what I like. (on shopping list: coffee beans, decaf beans for winter evening treats.)
came home with a coffee shop noise pollution migraine and made myself cheese ramen with cilantro, sesame seeds, green onion, and a side of this week’s pickled carrot slaw. ramen made two servings for me. it was the last of my shin black and third to last slice of ramen cheese. my cilantro will last another weekend and i have at least week’s worth of parsley and green onions. (adding to the shopping list: shin black, cheese singles, frozen corn, and since i’m thinking about it, shredded mozz for buldak/corn cheese.)
for lunches wednesday-friday i will have dumplings from the freezer (the ones i made and some other ones i have), leftover ramen, and a carrot and cucumber salad (my last two fresh salad vegetables, but i will probably wait out purchasing more). to prep tonight: jar of dumpling sauce, salad. (dumplings are already on my shopping list when i see some that look good. adding dumpling wrappers—making and freezing them was so worth it, but i felt like making the dough wasn’t.)
complicating factor: i should make myself something sweet to keep me out of the vending machines at work. at home i’ve been having what i believe to be yaourti me meli (greek yogurt, walnuts, honey, cinnamon?) but i’m out. i’d like to make a second french yogurt cake to compare it to the other recipe, but again, out. i would also also like to make a coffee cake type food for someone coming over saturday afternoon. do i make a little loaf cake with what i have tonight to get me through the week and then a second thing then? do i have friday plans? if i bake a little quick bread or pound cake for myself tonight it will really cut down on my food ruminations. (adding to shopping list: greek yogurt, walnuts, honey, dried fruit, butter.. baking supplies need inventorying but i’m almost sure i have enough of the basics.)
what am i having for dinners? i need to minimize the chance that i spend any non-grocery money before next week—i will be having a crazy week and likely blowing money i don’t have. tonight i’m having leftover cannellini beans cacio e pepe (‼️ make this ‼️). i have enough beans (although running low) to continue having beans meals, but i really really really desire to put my beans meals on potatoes. (‼️ fusion jacket potatoes ‼️ make this ‼️). matias made these perfect black beans with pork and salsa verde and it’s all i can think about. can i pull this off with freezer bacon… i have enough of a serrano to get me through. (adding to shopping list: russet potatoes, garlic, sour cream, avocado, cheap canned black beans, decent looking dried black beans, slightly nice italian brand butter beans and cannellini beans, bell pepper, tomatillos, tomatoes, mexican oregano, sweet potato, pork?? i will put this on my list but never buy it.)
i would also like to make salmon rice bowls with avocado, pickled veg/carrot slaw, cucumbers, etc. to use up my freezer salmon. i would prefer to wait to do this til i’m keeping salad greens (leftover salmon for salads is key for a working woman…)
in two weeks i will make something for a certain someone’s birthday and batch up some granola. i’ve been wanting to try making coffee granola. i also have to make a lasagna before the end of winter this year or i must be executed.
what i’m bringing to work tomorrow for the rest of the week: salad, bags of dumplings, ramen, cilantro (packed separately), one boiled egg, one yogurt, dumpling sauce and any other condiments that look good, and a sweet if i can pull it off.
the question i can only answer for myself tomorrow at 4pm: am i going to the grocery store?

Thinking about 'The Perfect Day' for lil me!
I'd wake up right next to my Sunshine and my cat, and all my stuffies! Sunlight would be slowly dripping in, and I'd cuddle into Sunshine as we talk about our dreams and plans for the day ✨️
We'd make banana pancakes and he'd make my banana slices into a smiley face in the pancake! Coffee cups with strawberries on them, and morning cartoons together. After that, we'd get ready for our big big plans!
And then, I'd find out Sunshine has tickets for the zoo! :0
We'd see the gorillas and lizards and Tigers and giraffes and rhinos and all sorts of animals! He'd asked me to name them all, and would help when I get stuck! We'd also get ice cream as we walk around, and I'd beg at the end of the zoo if we could do the carousel together and get a penguin stuffie 🐧 We need a new friend!
The carousel is so so fun, and so was the zoo! But now I'm sleepy, so we go home and I snuggle up for a nap. He'd tuck me in with my new penguin friend and give me a lil kiss on the forehead!
Once I wake up and get allllll my energy back, we'd play some video or board games together - like Pikuniku or Cuphead! We'd work together to solve puzzles and go through the new levels ♡
Then I learn he was helping me practice before a surprise trip to an arcade! He's going to try to win me an arcade plush in a claw machine, and I beat him at Mario Kart! We laugh and laugh and compete in all the games 🎮
Finally, the night comes to a close, and before we head to sleep, I get read a special story from Sunshine! He shows me the pictures and holds me tight, and I start to get so so sleepy.
He turns the lights off, helps me snuggle in, and we rest hard after the perfect day!

Moving snails off the pavement after the rain Most embarrassing moment at school? Winning a class award and having my face printed in the paper. What a Sha-Nightmare! Describe the first job you ever had. I sold biscuits door-to-door to afford my first PlayStation. Would do it again, if it was a viable career option. Why can't you go to university for biscuits? Ten years from now, what are you doing? Mm... biscuits... My dream date would be with ___________, doing what? Hm- oh, yeah. McLovin, my guy! Probably picking snails off the pavement again. It’s the last day on earth. In five words or less, what would you do?
Chill.
Scruffy
What's your best quality? I'm a non-stop kick-ass game-winning machine! Faves? (music, colour, movie, food)
I mostly listen to the TDWT soundtrack. And Heather's new podcast. Has anyone here heard about it? It's about-
Green
Movies take up too much time, in my opinion
Baby carrots. They're good for energy, and portable
Describe your craziest dream. I wouldn't call it "crazy" but I'd love to win TTWT. World Tour is my favorite season of all time, so it'd be like a dream come true. Best memory from childhood? Watching my first episode of Total Drama. It was ROTI, episode 9. I'm planning on getting a tattoo for it- 4x9 on my shoulder. Most embarrassing moment at school? Apparently, pouring over training and mentally and physically conditioning myself is "weird", so I got my fair share of crap. Who's laughing now, Stephanie Parker?! I bet you can't even diffuse a live bomb! Describe the first job you ever had. I don't need a job. Ten years from now, what are you doing? Living off my TTWT winnings and running my own reality TV gossip mag. My dream date would be with ___________, doing what? Jules, probably. Off-camera, doing anything anywhere without being bothered. It’s the last day on earth. In five words or less, what would you do?
Honestly? Panic.
Staci
What's your best quality? Not to pat myself on the back but I'm kiiiiiind of a genius Faves? (music, colour, movie, food)
Industrial metal, duh
Pink!
Bridge on the River Kwai... or like, Mean Girls is pretty good, too
Pork gyoza
Describe your craziest dream. I've had so many kin dreams, I couldn't even begin to list them off. Best memory from childhood? I... don't really want to talk about that. Most embarrassing moment at school? I had a bad habit of not really realizing when people were making fun of me, so I got bullied through all of primary without even knowing it. After that, I kinda got a little reactionary to perceived slights Describe the first job you ever had. Never had a paying one! Running my blog is kind of a job in itself. Ten years from now, what are you doing? Um... something cool, hopefully! My dream date would be with ___________, doing what? I'd love to hang with any of my distant relatives. They seem pretty cool. It’s the last day on earth. In five words or less, what would you do?
Give my friends a hug
Scary
What's your best quality? Not being a total moron, probably. Faves? (music, colour, movie, food)
None.
Black.
None.
None.
Describe your craziest dream. Dreams are just a product of our minds trying to simulate situations, to increase preparedness. Well... that's the theory I believe, anyway. Best memory from childhood? Winning my first ever science fair. Most embarrassing moment at school? Losing my first ever science fair. Describe the first job you ever had. I've only really done interning. Ten years from now, what are you doing? Receiving awards and accolades. My dream date would be with ___________, doing what? Nothing and no one. My dream date would be me, Einstein, and Hawking, all in book form in my living room. It’s the last day on earth. In five words or less, what would you do?
This is a ridiculous hypothetical

What's everyone in your BATMM AU's favorite food?
Tumblr media
Great question! (Finally someone ask me about their favorite stuff) I also included my OCs and put the gang's least favorite food as well.
(note: some are based on what I like and dislike)
Flarelyn Family AU:
★ Blaze just loves chocolate truffles but only gets to eat it once because it's such an special treat for him to eat as she may not self control themselves and hates spicy food (man can eat it whatever he wants but he's not a fan of it for some reason.)
★ Crusher really fw seafood especially that has soup on it (specifically sushi). Also Crusher also fw with spicy noodles.
Crusher doesn't like other spicy food in general and pickles.
★ Fiar loves the Mac-And-Cheese and Strawberry Lemonade combo. She made this combo by herself when she was making herself strawberry lemonade while Crusher was making Mac And Cheese for her.
Fiar hates spicy food, banana and avocado. She will only eat the banana if it is a banana split or covered in chocolate and sprinkles.
(don't ask me why the FF hates spicy food, they're an sweet tooth family)
★ Pickle is very much obviously enough, usually doesn't have a least favorite other than non-edible food.
★ Watts fw Ube Grilled Cheese! (Watts just loves ube flavored food) and she also likes Siopao (especially the toasted one! That sh🫧t is really good. /Gen)
Watts doesn't like spaghetti that much anymore (specifically the Filipino one) because of how many times she ate at events her parents go to. (Me moment)
★ Starla likes spaghetti and meatballs but she doesn't like bacon and other beefy stuff.
★ Darington likes waffles for breakfast with blueberries and whip cream on top of it. They for some reason don't like pancakes. They also love star shaped chicken nuggets.
★ Stripes likes spicy chicken with sliced tomatoes and potatoes on it. (Btw it's cooked! He doesn't like the taste of raw chicken) Also Stripes doesn't like sweet food especially cake.
★ Zeg has an very old memory when his mother used to baked him Apple raspberry pie every Christmas. Good memories, he still makes his own Apple raspberry pie every Christmas and shared it to his friends. (Btw Zeg can't cook but he can bake for some reason.)
Zeg doesn't like bananas because it tastes kinda plain to him.
★ Onyx both liked Jello Cake and Crabs but Crabs would be their no. 1 favorite food. They like the classic version of Jello Cake the most, classic version is would describe as "salty yet sweet".
Onyx hates Shrimp because she's allergic to it (me moment.)
★ Mia also likes Jello Cake but specifically vanilla flavor, very creamy and sweet. Seaweed spaghetti would be her no. 1 favorite food. Mia doesn't have any least favorite food as for now.
★ Kizzie and Veronica likes strawberry smoothie!
Veronica doesn't like vanilla ice cream. While Kizzie doesn't like chocolate ice cream.
★ Fuchsia likes mint chocolate chip ice cream and hates pumpkin pie.
★ Scarlett doesn't have any favorite or least favorite for now.
Tumblr media
Blaze And The Rusty Machines AU:
★ Blaze likes to eat flowers (yes this man is so f🌊ck🫧d up) after he's at stage 3 with his sanity getting worse. He only likes it when it was bought from the flower shop instead of the garden because of the dirt.
★ Crusher in the other hand hates eating flowers. He likes chocolate cherry ice cream.

guess who forgot to put SUGAR in their latest banana bread batch
For shame, yes, it was me
but I put a spoon full of honey on top of my test slice of buttered, sugarless, banana bread and it transformed into tasty
so... yeah, I was adapting a recipe not meant for a bread machine to a bread machine recipe and my eyes just... did not read that line in the ingredients list as I was jumping around trying to add stuff in the correct-for-bread-machine order
Whoops, how did it not occur to me that I hadn't added sugar when I hit the start button???
thank goodness for honey though, that has saved the bread
so now i just have to remember that when I reheat slices for later that I need to drizzle honey on top or it has nothing to offset that strong almond flavor from the flour I used this time around

-->And then it was off to Desert Bloom Park in Oasis Springs! Where, to my delight, it was actually NOT FUCKING THUNDERSTORMING. (Yeah, I am still bitter about how I had to buy a weather machine to actually DO the sale in Windenburg, why do you ask?) Also to my delight, I discovered that the gang could hang around together and draw pictures in the sand – I had Smiler do a smiley face while Victor and Alice watched, then had Alice do a star while Smiler looked for the perfect spot to set up the food stand. I had them set up nice and close to the central plaza, by the chess tables, then dropped all the food Victor and Alice had made into the table’s inventory –
And set up the ice cream machine on one of the side slots! Because that is what I wanted it for – adding another treat option to the food stand! I set about having Smiler make some chocolate ice cream (after accidentally canceling the interaction once by moving the food stand slightly out of place – these “live drag” objects can be dangerous sometimes) –
-->And while that was going on, I set about having Victor and Alice wander around the neighborhood and gather metals and crystals from the collectible rocks! Because that was my other main reason for coming here – to get materials for future jewelry-making! Alice found some citrine, a time capsule (I forgot to open it up, though, so have no idea which MySim is inside) and some silver (ironic for a werewolf), while Victor got death metal, alabaster, orange topaz, and another citrine from his wanderings. Not too shabby! :) And it was nice to see how pretty the park is in late summer too.
-->While Victor and Alice were occupied with that, Smiler finished their ice cream – I had them set the garnish as banana slices and the topping as whipped cream (would you expect any different from them), then added it to the stocked food and started their food sale! As usual, things were slow to start, though their buddy Presley did show up to help cheer them on. Victor, done with his collecting and apparently eager to meet her, started over to do a “Howdy Greeting” (must be from Horse Ranch), but she left before he could get the chance. Aw. So I instead had him summon his familiar Darkwing, give himself a quick Scruberoo, then sent him to ponder moves at the chess board while Alice ran down from where she’d gotten the silver to make some BBQ ribs at one of the many available BBQs. Smiler, for their part, had finally gotten a customer and was doing their best to convince said customer, Roxana, to buy something –
