#big fan of everyone's choices. they're all bangers

[seaofreverie]

Made a playlist based on everyone's top 10 (or top 5, or 11, or 12 etc.) Sparks songs polls <3

At first I thought I'd add every song that has been picked but there were Too Many (like, 150 or so) so instead I went with all songs that have been chosen more than once, and ended up with 47 songs and a total of 3 hours 19 minutes. Enjoy!

Cooking/food headcanon for Bug, Alix and Shaniqua (and the rest of Bug's company if you feel like it) - sara

Hehehe I'm going to answer for everyone! Thank you for giving me the option (that is also why this is so much later than the other replies to this ask game lol, there's so many of them)

Bug

Bug is mostly vegetarian when they're free. It's a choice they make to remember that they're free – they can make their own decisions about their diet, therefore they're free. Kind of similar reason to why they change their hairstyle completely every few months, although that one's partly just for fun.

Alix

She has multiple cupboards of spices and seasonings, as well as dried ingredients (she'll buy fresh when she needs it but otherwise, might as well buy in bulk). She enjoys cooking for everyone. More than that, she loves finding out what someone likes best (through detective work and sleuthery such as asking "what do you like to eat?" and then building on that) and making it for them. She thinks everyone deserves food that makes them feel good. Especially her rescues.

Shaniqua

She enjoys cooking, although she doesn't do it frequently. She tends to cook in bulk when she's off and freezes it all, then her and Bill can just microwave meals for a few weeks. She has a set of crockery and cutlery from her parents when she and Bill bought their house together, which she keeps in good condition and still uses regularly. After years in food service, Shaniqua appreciates waiters enough to tip very well when she eats out.

Bill

He mostly eats fast food if left to his own devices, and doesn't like cooking (he doesn't see the point when he can buy whatever he likes readymade anyway). The exception's a BBQ, which he likes grilling at although often gets distracted easily. Especially if it's a BetterPets BBQ...

O

O loves apples. Absolutely adores them. Its favourites are early discoveries and coxes, but any are nice so long as they're crisp and juicy. It liked apples before the one Bug gave it (the first actual food it had had in a long time), but that certainly helped cement apples as one of its favourites.

It would like to grow an apple tree, but its plot of garden is probably not big enough. Probably.

Max

Soft ice cream is his favourite food. He enjoys trying out all different kinds of food, mostly bc he hasn't had anything decent in a while – his owners replaced his teeth with metal spike implants to make him look more intimidating, and it made it hard for him to eat, especially in the time frame allotted to him. If he got too undernourished he'd be given liquid, which tasted horrible, or tube fed. Basically, what I'm saying is that now he can eat actual food and take as long as he likes to do so, he really enjoys trying out new food!

Maria

Greek food! She's Greek, they worked that out fairly early on, and she's determined to reconnect with her culture. Whenever it's her turn to cook she tries out different Greek and other Mediterranean dishes, with varied success.

726E

He loves a BBQ, specifically the vegetarian food there. Would not like to share one with Bill though.

Mary

Her favourite sweets are Werther's Originals. It's the only thing she put on the customisation form for Bug, bc the care home staff insisted she put something and she didn't want Bug hurt. She likes sharing sweets with Bug and Alix, and really anyone who wants one and is a decent person.

For meals, she likes old British staples like bangers and mash.

Jane

Loves tea and biscuits! Traditional biscuits like digestives especially. Anyone who visits or lives with her will be given tea and biscuits.

Oscar

Oscar likes food best when fae can enjoy it with others. Fae likes good food anyway, but not so much when fae has to eat it alone. Fae likes to share it, so faer favourites are things like sharing platters, meze, stuff like that. Fae's also a big fan of potlucks.

Michaela

She has a sweet tooth, and enjoys all things sugary! She also likes baking, although it's often hard to find the time to make anything complex, like she'd like to.

How about Aki for the ask game?

Hi, @insomniac-jay. Thanks for asking! :)

How I feel about this character: I tried to give as much of a luekwarm response as I can, but I think I might have failed and this got way too long to be considered "lukewarm."

So, I like Azkia, but outside of the anime, she doesn't really interest me much. I think trauma makes the character, but I'm not into it very much when it's what all defines the character, which tends to be something a lot of people like to do. Which is fine, but persoanlly, it's why I don't read/look into a lot of Akiza stuff. A lot of time, I think people like the idea of her more than anything, and I don't blame them—big tiddied goth girl is banger. It's just that it doesn't hold me for long; I'm not the kind who latches onto a characters because they're "girl." (The only two genders that matter to me is "dumb" and "ass," and if they're both, my gods. xD) I'm just unimpressed if anything, lmao.

Idk, Akiza can be really fun, but she is kinda forced to carry so much baggage in every iteration. Like she's always going to play the sad, isolated child that lashes out and is called as a monster, only seen for what she is when this one person comes along, and that's just the story of her life. It feels very . . . limiting imo. Can't she be okay sometimes? And like when she's made to be independent and strong, what does that really add? She is strong, but like, so is everyone else who tries. That being said, it's not like being weak is a bad thing; it's the exeuction that matters.

How I feel about Akiza is kinda my fault too, though. I don't know really know what to do with her in my writing, so I don't really write her often. I don't relate to her at all, and nor do I go gaga over her character design, so there's not much I can do with her that doesn't come off as disingenuous.

As a fan of shōnen, I say it's a lot to expect shōnen to care about writing good female characters, and that can be said about early YGO, a shōnen meant to advertise a card game to little kids, namely boys. The genre itself still needs work, but for anyone wanting good female characters in YGO who also duel, try the newer series, SEVENS and GO RUSH. They're much shorter than the previous YGO series, but they do so good in both having and writing female characters who aren't limited by the tropes they're written into. (Everyone is sleeping on Princess G.)

All the people I ship romantically with this character: No one really. I think she should have her own thing.

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Crow. Sherry. When you duel together, you get tight together.

My unpopular opinion about this character: I like that Akiza wants to become a doctor. It's unexpected, but she's finally doing her own thing. One thing I noticed in the anime is that Akiza's life is practically surrounded by Team 5D's, even when she goes back to school. She isn't shown to have her own friends? Which is whack because she's cute and smart and cool? Also, she's rich. Like, come on, someone's got to talk to her in class, even if it's just friendly conversation.

So, her choosing to become a doctor and not a duelist is kinda refreshing. People go, "Oh, a girl and a duelist? She's got to be a female duelist," but like, guys, women in YGO are the only ones who's got the interesting career choices from dancer (Tea) to Secretary General of Egypt (Isis) to reporter (Carly, Kari) to idol (Princess G); now they get a doctor in their line-up. Nice. But it's not like she can't be both though. OwO Why not both? Maybe she goes back into competitive Turbo dueling after med school. That's pretty realistic.

Also, I'm not mad that she "loses" her psychic powers. It made her different, but it didn't make her happy as far as I can see. It simultaenously isolated her (from peers and family) and put her on a pedastal in the worst way (Arcadia). Like she used her psychic powers more often than not to push people away because she was afraid of rejection; from what it seems, she only really knows how to use it to do so. So in my head, she unconciously supresses/lessens her use of her powers once she starts opening up again because she has people to truly rely on.

It goes in the line that just because you have it, it doesn't meant you have to use, like drawing and writing and any other hobby or talent.

One thing I wish would happen/had happened with this character in canon: I would loved to see Akiza be a regular teenage girl. I want her to have friends and they can go to the mall or the library or loiter at the park, whatever. Just anything that shows that she is also enjoying life like everyone else. Why did they give her her own friends? QWQ Even the twins got their own set of friends, like what?

Send me an ask! 👀 I've watched all the series.

[boyfhee]

hmm, jay fic?? write it and you shall submit. i will be waiting for it, hehe. even i want to start a writing account for enha but i dont know what to post first T_T i have a text au and a headcanon, tell me which one should i post first :0

hope your bro does well in his 10th ✌🏼 tell him to not waste these next months, but hasnt the difficulty level for 10th graders decreased too?? i hate this education system. for us, 70% of syllabus was removed and people say you guys didn't write the exams 😭

hanuman chalisa haha, even if i have god by my side. i would be scared too. lmao how can a jaw chase her... noo that is so funny 😂 i mean i cant handle the smell of rotten food and what would i or you do with cadaver 🥲 i dont know. i regret everyday that why i havent chosen bipc 😔

i know apathorax from arjun reddy movie 😶 is it what it is?? help i dont even remember. isnt it beside the chest of a human?? the flesh part?? tell me tell me. well i havent been interested into coding but i need to start to learn how to code.

since you said you have coded, tell me the basic coding languages i need to know + how your teachers taught you caelin! i badly want tips to learn. like i have so many reels saved on my ig about coding + tips

same pinch, but i have been stanning them since on era and i think i was a hardcore fan until they dropped butter. i lost interest because same, their music started to change and started concentrating on the west. soo, i used to love the old bts caelin :(

hell no!!! when i used to watch yuzuru hanyu skating videos, i got into figure skating and then random videos used to pop up, even i used to know sunghoon before he debuted 🥲 i didnt watch like all of his performances but watched the best ones in his career ^^ he grew up so well.

yup!!! when fever was dropped, engenes knew it was a banger. damn it everyone on twitter asked whose song was this and engenes were like, huhu its enhypen \(^_^)/ hooray hahga. even i agree with you fever was and is the best bside i have ever heard from them.

this already long so i will continue in the next ask :3

— lover club anon <33

jay fic was posted, i hope it reached you well ^^ also, good luck with starting a writing account omg .. you can start with texts since they are a quick read and attract more audience !!! however, headcanons aren't bad either ... it really is your choice :O

i will tell him to do well in 10th, although he wastes all his time playing valo / forza horizon TT i don't know how easy or difficult the school exams have gotten, i've been so out of the loop ever since i graduated >< hope your sister does well too in boards ^_^

and omg bipc is fun but i'm sure pcm is just as interesting :O you have a fear of blood and needles so maybe you weren't meant for the OT but rather for doing other big things in like ... let's be positive !!! also, i think you mean apothorax ?? it's part of thorax containing heart and lungs ^^ i was studying about mediastinum today .. it's too much to take in. there's so much information and so little space in my brain .. sometimes i wonder if i will be able to remember all the things _ _;

also, i studied coding in highschool so i don't know how helpful my tips will be for college since you're definitely going to learn much much more there :O i think html css is basic and important ( for example, tumblr's who website theme and post format is based on html css ) javascript, python are important too since they're in demand. i'm afraid we didn't learn a lot in school except what was in theory .. didn't have many lab sessions and the most we did was python and html css since that was the main focus ( i hate python like whatever the hell that is ... )

i also started with hanyu !!! and then came across cha junhwan, yuna kim, ilia malinin and all though the international tournaments and all. i remember being so interested in fs, i watched the 4cc tournaments during classes TT i actually came across sunghoon through junhwan, watched his videos and then moved on like .. i didn't see him at the competitions so i thought he quit :O never looked him up for me to know he was a trainee / idol

AND YEAH fever is truly the queen, i can never get tired of it. border : carnival in itself is an amazing album. what's your fav album of them so far? fav b-side and title tracks? i need to know ><
