Thinking about Yoshi doing rat stuff and how his uncles feel about that. Like Yoshi is a rat mutant who got mutated when he was about a month old - this kid has zero memories of being human and looking at photos of himself as a newborn makes him feel weird, because in Yoshi's mind he's a rat, not a human.

At first, whenever he acted more like a rat toddler than a human toddler, I think it really worried his uncles. He couldn't talk yet, so they couldn't ask him why he did that and the parenting books they had were no help.

Taling to April wasn't much good either - June may not be entirely human (Utrom/Kraang genetics inherited from April), but she was more or less a normal kid. April had never had to worry about June climbing up walls with her claws, chewing through metal, and had no answers for all the strange noises Yoshi made. It takes them a while to figure out which bruxing means rat nephew is happy and which means he's distressed.

This is a kid who needs new stuff to investigate or he'll get bored and start destroying something. Before he was old enough to entertain himself, the Turtles spent as much time as they could finding things for him to do. This was properly one reason Raph and Casey taught him how to spray paint, as well as how this version of Splinter gets into smithing. Like if he gets bored he can paint something or make another sword! (Ageswap Yoshi has so many knives, it's ridiculous.)

The Turtles have to be careful about introducing new scents into the Lair cause there's a chance it'll confuse Yoshi and his sense of smell won't be able to make up for his terrible eyesight and he'll got lost on his way to the dojo.

The first time the Turtles saw porphyrin coming out of Yoshi's eyes, they pretty much screamed. They thought Yoshi was bleeding out of his eyes and were all in various stages of mental breakdowns thinking Yoshi was deathly ill and they'd failed to look after their nephew. Finding out that hey, it's okay, that's completely normal for him, its not actually blood, had them all either laying on the floor or going off on their own into a quiet room to stare at the wall for a while.

If Yoshi gets stressed out about something, they have to stop him from scratching himself or trying to chew on his own tail.

This kid has no poker face at all. His ears and whiskers are always giving him away, which is great for them knowing when he's lying, but terrible for being a ninja. This also gets really frustrating for him, because there are times when you don't want everyone to know how you're feeling, but those things give him away. Yoshi can forget about being upset without everyone knowing - he tries to compensate by pulling his hood up on bad days, but that kinda just lets everyone know he's upset and doesn't want to talk about it.

Just the Turtles and their very much a rat mutant nephew, who doesn't feel ashamed of being a rat, so doesn't bother hiding the ratty part of his nature

I think if Tails ever drinks alcohol when he's older, he'd drink the ones that taste like juice and that ONLY !!!

Also as much as I love Shadow holding traits that contrast to his appearence, he would drink alcohol normally. My guy eats straight up COFFEE BEANS he'd like the strong/bitter taste of alcohol I'd think.

[is-the-fire-real]

So, I'm in a place right now where I cannot consume any alcohol, even in food. (Alcohol does not actually cook out of food, in case you have a similar restriction for health or religious reasons.)

My in-laws decided to serve rabo del toro after the point when I could no longer consume alcohol. They have had the oxtail in the freezer for a month. But they waited until now to serve a recipe which features an entire bottle of drinking wine as part of the sauce.

I googled to make sure, and then told them, in writing, that I'd like if they could try to substitute something else for the wine, so I could also have some of the rabo del toro. They said nothing in reply. I assumed, at that point, that they would not be substituting anything, and I'd have to skip the whole dish.

Okay. They do this a lot. They know I don't eat any shellfish and have responded to this by repeatedly buying and serving it and then acting miffed that I won't eat it, so why would this be any different?

My MIL asked if she could make chicken wings instead. I, politely, said no. I have seen how she makes chicken wings.

She brought up making me chicken wings four more times in the next 24 hours. She was, in her way, sorry; she was also, in her way, trying to make sure that she could tell other people that she'd tried to feed me but I'm very unreasonable and stubborn. After the fourth no, she said: "I'm just worried you're not getting enough protein!"

To which @the-gazpacho-ger said that beans and soy all have a ton of protein, and so do eggs, and I'm getting all of these things so please stop trying to shovel meat into my husband.

So they decided they were going to Play Nice and serve me something I could eat. Fish. Hake, specifically. I'm kind of excited. It's a type of fish I can definitely eat. Wonderful.

I go down to their kitchen area, and see that they've set up the sauce they'll fry the fish in.

It's full of in-shell clams.

Then, after Gaz points it out, I see a now-half-full bottle of white wine by the stovetop.

"Hey, is there wine in this?" Gaz asks.

"It was in the recipe," FIL says, already defensive in his tone. "I had to add it."

"Okay, but Fire can't have it even if it's in the recipe," and that starts a whole new round of But The Alcohol Cooks Out and No It Doesn't The Flesh Retains It and I Thought It'd Be Okay and We've Already Been Over This Multiple Times and Okay Well Sorry. We don't even address the clams because why bother, we've been over that roughly a billion times and they'll never listen and they'll never stop.

I'm still not over how we explained to MIL the fish I can eat (which all also happen to be kashrut fish) and how I explicitly cannot have shellfish because they're filter feeders (no way we're safe in telling them about our conversion yet). She smirked and said "What about shrimp?" and then walked away without waiting for a response. She then bought shrimp, which I have literally never liked even before I resolved to eat kashrut, and had herself a pity party when I told her I couldn't eat it. And so it goes.

I sit down to my dinner of potatoes and green beans.

"You're being very good about your food," my MIL says. "I'm so impressed."

This is her way of saying I've gravely insulted her by refusing her food.

I know this because she follows up by listing everything she's going to make for Gaz's birthday meal and I think maybe I'll be able to eat the salad, but only if she doesn't put any dressing on it because there's booze in the dressing. And then she says she's invited people over without asking us first. So I will get to sit there with a bit of dry salad on my plate while she pointedly says I'm being very good (picky) and how impressed (furious) she is with me, while I get to smell all the good smells of special homecooked meals I cannot touch and watch everyone else enjoy themselves.

Is there a prayer for this situation, Jumblr?

Ketchup with grilled cheese‽‽‽‽ What kind of heathen are you‽‽‽‽ The only tomato that goes by grilled cheese is Tomato Soup for dipping. Ketchup with grilled cheese is almost as bad (but not quite) as ketchup on your Mac and cheese.

Ketchup on mac and cheese is good! And on scrambled eggs.

today’s important question is: do I order dominos gluten free pizza (overpriced, not that good, won’t upset my body) or regular pizza from the Italian place (cheaper, tastier by 10x, holds significant risk of upsetting some part of my immune system)

HAIKYUU ESSAY TIME YAYAYAYA

today's essay idea was brought upon me in the midst of my post-athletics recovery and WILL be my most batshit insane one yet. less facts more feelings. this essay is HEAVILY CENTERED around kghn so it'll only be, like, 15% factually accurate, 85% insane. because there are definitely other non-relationship focused nuances in what i'm about to show you that i shall be choosing to ignore- i'm just clarifying that i DO know they're there, i'm just crazy.

Let us begin.

to provide context, i'll be speaking about Season 1 Episode 23. this is the first official Seijoh match, which they're tied with Karasuno 1-all. this is the final set and the tension is to typical dramatized Haikyuu standard.

Kageyama has just set the ball to Asahi, of which he successfully pulled off a pipe attack, earning Karasuno yet another point. we now proceed to take a look into Kageyama's thoughts post-point:

i'd say this is pretty standard for Kageyama. his game sense when it comes to volleyball is off the charts. dude could probably perfectly play a game in his SLEEP if he really wanted to. knowing where the best attacks will come from, how he'll set the ball- all of that is second nature to him.

and that, my friends, is what makes this line all the more interesting:

because, yes, Hinata did call for the ball, but based on what Kageyama just mentioned, tossing the ball to Hinata should have been ruled out entirely by this point. hell, Kageyama wasn't even FACING Hinata when he called for the ball. Kageyama was literally in the perfect position, perfect timing, perfect EVERYTHING to give it to Asahi.

Yet he nearly gave it to Hinata.

and the fact that he nearly gave it to Hinata is insane enough on its own, but the way Kageyama puts it here: "He nearly took the set away from me." emphasis on the "took [it] away"

Hinata, just by calling out "send it my way," was enough to take the instincts that Kageyama has had and been fostering for his entire lifetime and just throw them all away. Hinata has taken all the game sense Kageyama has built up just by calling for the ball. THAT'S THE KIND OF IMPACT HE HAS ON KAGEYAMA.

(additionally: this kind of impact is almost expected considering the fact that Hinata has established himself as someone that Kageyama can always fall on, having promised to hit any toss he sends his way regardless of how fast or shitty it is.)

one call. one "send it my way." one jump from a place that Kageyama can only see out of the very corner of his eye. that's all it takes.

to paraphrase insanely: with respect to Hinata, all it takes to completely bend Kageyama- an absolute PRODIGY of a player- to your will is to simply call for the ball. that's it. everything could be perfect to send it left, but if Hinata's going right and he wants it, all he has to do is call for it and there's a chance Kageyama will send it to the right. one call. no need to argue.

and then we also get this absolute BLESSING of a frame. absolutely stunning, beautiful, amazing. i eat it up every time.

(the nuance that normal people would see here is essentially: Hinata is such a great decoy that he can even lure his own teammates. which. like. yeah, that also happens. Kageyama is definitely being lured in. i've just decided to take the less normal route and fixate on a completely arbitrary yet still very important aspect of the show- aka Kageyama and Hinata's relationship.)

this scene in particular also ties in nicely to that one bit in season 3 where Oikawa goes to watch the Shiratorizawa vs. Karasuno match and says "Hinata's got Tobio wrapped around his finger" OUGH that one always gets me.

anyways: this is basically one of the five occasions (that i can think of off the top of my head) in which the show points out that Hinata is the one calling the shots here. like, it's never been "Kageyama tosses and Hinata spikes," it's always been "Hinata spikes wherever the fuck he wants to, Kageyama just has to get the ball to him" WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY WILD IF YOU ASK ME

idk. they just. yeah :) they're so cool :)
