Hello! I was wondering if you could write about the Merc's with a gn! reader who loves baking?

Btw, I love your writing style! It all feels so accurate and it's helping to feed this new fixation of mine <3 <3

I see we have some food lovers in the askbox, chat. *crackles knuckles* you ask, and daddy delivers.

Mercs with somebody who gives them food

Scout:

- Depends on your current location. The gravel wars isn’t short of moving from place to place. If it’s somewhere like japan he’ll go full weeb mode and eat nothing but fish related dishes. You know speed racer? In the fucked up TF2 universe there’s a speed racer themed restaurant. Take him there. (On second thought maybe don’t go eating with him in Japan he might eat the Hiroshima rocks.)

- He swears he’s on a diet but it’s inconsistent as fuck. This is the same guy who canonically eats radiation we’re talking about here. You hand him some warm bread you baked and he’s ecstatic. You catch him sprinkling something on his slice. It’s grounded up like pepper. He’s like “This? This shit is fuckin’ perfect. The person who owns my gym back in boston recommended it for energy. Tastes great.” You read the label and you realize it’s grounded up uranium.

- If you make him homemade fried chicken he’ll nearly choke up. Seriously. nobody’s ever done that for him before. Giving him food in general is also his love language but chicken? He thinks you want to marry him forever and ever now.

—————————————————————

Soldier:

- You don’t really know what soldier likes.. He doesn’t make anything very evident and tries his hardest to make his one defining trait being that he’s a veteran. But you know that’s not true. You decide to make him some sandwiches and he’s confused. “Huh.. Well that’s some weird tasting MREs. Not complaining. It’s actually really good. Shame that civilians can’t get the same luxury right now.” He says. You have no idea how to explain that WW2 is virtually nonexistent anymore.

- Finally you settle with something. Honey with warm bread. Instead of eating slices like a normal person he just swallows the entire loaf like a snake. You are worried for this man’s intestines. He seems to be fine however.

- Gives you either a romantic or platonic kiss on the head. Your pick. His breath smells sugary and sweet and you nuzzle your head against his collarbone in response. This is his way of showing he appreciated the food.

———————————————————————

Demoman:

- I sure hope you’re capable of producing stew because that’s all he eats when he isn’t unhealthily suppressing his own hunger with scrumpy.

- You get him to eat a variety of food somehow. Although he’s picky, he isn’t impossible either. Due to growing up in an orphanage he was no stranger to having to cook for himself at times when the caretakers just really didn’t care. You exchange recipes. For some reason he has an entire Scottish cookbook under his bed. As well as a book on “Leonerdo Da Fuq’s Basic Guide To blowing Sentries Up. And making it look like an accident.”

- He’s very thankful. Demoman’s not much of a foodie. He eats to live rather than lives to eat. But your snacks hit different. They’re made with your love. That’s why they’re so much better than what he typically eats.

—————————————————————-

Engineer:

- WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU THATS HIS JOB. HE’S THE OVERBEARING GRANDMOTHER THAT WONT STOP SHOVING FOOD INTO HER KIDS MOUTH!!! NOT YOU!!!

- He eats everything you give him. Even if it doesn’t particularly tickle his fancy. His belly is big and swollen afterwards and you want to squish him so bad. That’s a pillow waiting to be laid on. He then tells you fond memories of thanksgiving and when his mother would cook his family an entire turkey dinner.

- He responds twofold by making you something as well. You wake up one day to find an entire breakfast platter laid on your end table. There’s a little sticky note there and although it doesn’t have a name on it — the dash alongside the expertly drawn symbol of his class is evident enough. Only somebody with expertise in blueprints would draw something like that. Hint hint.

——————————————————————

Heavy:

- Heavy isn’t a dumbass by any means but this is a certified Heavy L situation. He thinks you’re trying to offend him at first because people call him fat on a regular basis. Medic explains from afar that actually it’s a gesture meant to express hospitality, and upon realizing you were just being nice he looks embarrassed and rubs the back of his neck.

- Lets you spoon feed him your food. He likes it for some reason. He likes any kind of meat, and protein. He eats that shit everyday. Not just that but dark chocolate and other bitter tasting foods as well. Despite his massive size he doesn’t actually eat large portions at a time.

- He knows how to make mostly deserts. Takes on a sort of mentor role and tries to teach you how to bake cakes and stuff like that. You’ve never seen Heavy in such a domesticated setting. Watching him go about cooking without breaking somebody’s skull in for once was actually kind of surreal.

————————————————————————-

Pyro:

- Cook / get them nothing but sweets. They won’t eat anything else. You begin to wonder if Pyro is even remotely human because of how much unhealthy food they eat. (But then again you’ve seen soldier survive losing both his arms and Medic sowing them back on. It’s probably fine.)

- They are unbelievably excited to see you walk into the room with plates and/or boxes. You’ve unintentionally pavloved them into associating it with your food. They clap and make grabby hands. Wanting to see what sweets you’ve brought them.

- It’s actually quite odd.. You see them retreat into their quarters to eat their food. It’s clear they’ve eaten it because they always take the plates back but you’re never allowed to see them eat directly. They don’t attend dinner with the other mercs or even breakfast.

- DO NOT LET THEM NEAR THE FUCKING OVEN. DO NOT LET THEM COOK. THE ADMINISTRATOR MADE IT AGAINST THE RULES TO LET PYRO NEAR THE STOVE.

————————————————————————-

Sniper:

- “Bloody hell.. This for me?” His voice hiked up a little. A little shocked that somebody would even consider making or buying him food in the first place, Only his parents ever did that for him. He takes it hesitantly but his expression doesn’t seem negative. Just incredibly dumbfounded. You had got him some donuts from a market in tuefort. You figured it would go well with his coffee.

- Immediately starts eating them. Sniper is both a meats sort of guy and a sweets sort of guy. Looks from side to side to make sure nobody saw him take your offer. That would be a embarrassing. He grabs the entire box and retreats into his camper van like a rat.

- He then slowly opens the door.. “Oh, right. Bugger. This is typically the moment I comfortably invite you in.” He cringes at the thought. Leaving the door open for you, and moving aside to let you in. He begins telling you the basics about how to hunt your food. For some reason it’s all incredibly dangerous aussie animals though. Some of the stuff doesn’t sound edible but he’s apparently eaten. He’s especially passionate about how to properly cook crocodiles.

———————————————————————-

Medic:

- Pretentiously nitpicks the fact you brought him cupcakes. Citing his knowledge about how too much sugar consumption can kill you… whilst simultaneously eating the cupcakes.

- “Even worse yet —- they ruin your dental health. Hoo, i’d hate to be on the receiving end of a tooth filling by an angry dentist.” He says, shoving more of your sweets into his face. You wonder if he’s even self aware of what he’s doing to be honest. “Although I do envy their sadism! It’s much worse than mine, actually — Das schmeckt gut.” He adds.

- He frowns. You knew Medic had loved cupcakes in particular so you were confused at first. Well it wasn’t that. In fact it was something more stupid. “Well then again the consumption of sugar is important for our bodies, I must add. With the wrong diet we could die from low blood sugar. I wonder if it is possible to extract all the sugar from a human body using a sort of giant homebrewed syringe. It is in theory possible for me to—“ The man is at his chalkboard writing down mathematical equations again.

———————————————————————-

Spy:

- When you give him food for the first time he’s unbelievably pouty. Couldn’t you have asked him his tastes first? He hesitantly eats what you give him anyway. As long as it isn’t fried, fast food, candy or anything that wasn’t expensive as fuck.

- Incredibly good table manners. Incredibly good at cooking his native cuisine. For some reason he’s intent on insisting that french food is superior than any other food. When you’re eating with him he straightens your posture, politely puts your napkin in your lap and schools you on the fact you’re not using your salad fork or whatever. There’s way too much pointless shit on his table. Who the fuck created all these weirdly specific rules?

- Eventually he’s so tired from trying to teach you he loses his temper and crosses his arms like a discontent toddler while you eat nonchalantly. “What?” You say. Using the wrong fork again. He’s still staring at you. “What?!” You repeat yourself. “I love you, Spy.” You say. Shoving more food into your mouth. He keeps glaring at you.

[proofofahero]

Ratha is staring directly at Orgo . . . no, actually. He's staring directly at the donut in Orgo's paw. He wants it.

“Huh?” Orgo grunted, turning away from his delectable snack to address the sudden, rhythmic, and hot wind blowing down his back. 

He got a face-full of Ratha as his answer. 

The Felyne yowled in surprise, falling back on the stump.

“Woah! Little too close for comfurt there.” Orgo huffed, dusting off his shirt as he sat back up, “What’s the big idea, anyway?”

Ratha was too fixated on some… part? Of him to give any sort of tell. Orgo crinkled his nose, waving his free paw in front of the monster’s face. No response.

He waved his doughnut paw in front of the wyvern’s face. Ratha’s eyes dashed to-and-for, honed onto the motion. Orgo blinked -- once, twice. He glanced down at his doughnut. Just in case, he flailed his hand around until he felt his muscles ache and the air left his lungs. 

Ratha’s eyes followed the motions perfectly.

That’s when the realization hit him like a Lagiacrus’s electric shock.

“Oh… ooho-ho-no way, big guy.” He turned away quickly, shaking his head. “Look, I love treatin’ my pawsome pals to a doughnut as much as the next Felyne, but Mari’s got you on a diet! Can’t fly if you weigh as much as a Duramboros. And besides, I dunno if you can even eat… sugar…”

Orgo’s rant wilted away beneath Ratha’s stare. 

It wasn’t intimidating or anything. Orgo may have had a rich and colorful history of being utterly clobbered by monsters, but he knew Ratha was no brute. The big lug wouldn’t so much as scratch him.

No, what got Orgo to shut up was how huge Ratha’s eyes looked. Were they always so saucer-shaped, with such big pupils? The sunlight caught the rims of them in such a way that they glistened, bringing to mind tales of wyvern’s tears. Logically, he knew Rathalos had no eyebrows, but with Ratha staring at him from just the right angle, Orgo could swear that there were furrowed brow ridges, drooping and crest-fallen.  

Orgo scratched the back of his head. 

Now, he didn’t typically find monsters cute, either. One too many wallopings inevitably ruined the charm. But Ratha was doing a pawsitively purrfect impersonation of a hungry kitten right now….

And he could feel his resolve crumbling. 

Orgo squinted his good eye shut the moment he realized. Must… resist… 

An utterly pathetic whine from Ratha goaded him into stealing one more peek. Just one little slip.

That was enough.

“Nyhh… - d’oh, alright!” Orgo finally relented, quickly shoving the doughnut towards Ratha’s face.

“But don’t go tellin’ Mari ‘bout this, ‘kay?” he said, looking away, “‘Specially if you go and hork it all back up. As far as we’re concerned, you just found it on the ground.”

Healthy Snack Alternatives: Swap These for a Healthier You

Snacking can be a significant part of our daily diet, but it's easy to reach for options that aren't the best for our health. By making mindful choices, we can enjoy delicious snacks that also nourish our bodies. Here are some simple and tasty alternatives to common unhealthy snacks.

Swap Potato Chips for Air-Popped Popcorn

Why: Potato chips are often high in unhealthy fats, salt, and calories. Air-popped popcorn is a whole grain, low in calories, and can be seasoned to your liking.

Season your popcorn with a sprinkle of nutritional yeast, a dash of cinnamon, or a bit of sea salt for a satisfying crunch.

Swap Candy Bars for Dark Chocolate and Nuts

Why: Candy bars are loaded with sugar and unhealthy fats. Dark chocolate and nuts provide antioxidants, healthy fats, and protein.

Choose dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa and pair it with a handful of almonds, walnuts, or your favorite nuts for a nutritious treat.

Swap Sugary Sodas for Sparkling Water with Fruit

Why: Sugary sodas can lead to weight gain and other health issues due to high sugar content. Sparkling water with fruit provides hydration without added sugars.

Add slices of lemon, lime, berries, or cucumber to your sparkling water for a refreshing and flavorful drink.

Swap Ice Cream for Greek Yogurt with Berries

Why: Ice cream is often high in sugar and fat. Greek yogurt is rich in protein and probiotics, supporting gut health and keeping you fuller for longer.

Top Greek yogurt with fresh or frozen berries and a drizzle of honey for a creamy, satisfying dessert.

Swap Cookies for Apple Slices with Nut Butter

Why: Cookies can be high in refined sugars and unhealthy fats. Apples and nut butter provide fiber, vitamins, and healthy fats.

Slice an apple and spread your favorite nut butter (such as almond or peanut butter) for a sweet and crunchy snack.

Swap French Fries for Baked Sweet Potato Fries

Why: French fries are typically high in unhealthy fats and calories. Sweet potatoes are packed with vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants.

Cut sweet potatoes into fries, toss with a bit of olive oil, and bake until crispy. Season with a pinch of sea salt and paprika.

Swap Store-Bought Granola Bars for Homemade Energy Balls

Why: Store-bought granola bars can contain added sugars and preservatives. Homemade energy balls are made from wholesome ingredients and can be customized to your taste.

Blend dates, oats, nuts, and a touch of honey or maple syrup. Roll into balls and refrigerate for a convenient, nutritious snack.

Swap Crackers for Veggie Sticks and Hummus

Why: Crackers can be high in refined carbs and sodium. Veggie sticks provide fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Cut carrots, celery, bell peppers, or cucumbers into sticks and dip them in your favorite hummus for a crunchy, satisfying snack.

Making small changes to your snacking habits can lead to big improvements in your overall health. These healthy snack alternatives are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients that your body will love. Give them a try and feel the difference!

my daily diary 🍷 — julliet ver.

sw: 100 | gw: 95 | ugw: 85

ballet x3 per week & 5k steps per day.

mlp diet (twitter, will post here).

July 1st;

originally i was meant to fast today, but i was at a friend's and she bought breakfast (352), and i didn't wanna be seen as rude; met with another friend who gave me a bunch of homemade cookies that she made me eat in front of her (713).

i slept all evening but managed to walk 3178 steps, however, i didn’t reach my 5k goal.

July 2nd;

sooo, normally i would never do a metabolism day on a sunday because i have my weekly weight on mondays but i am starting the mlp — rainbow dash — diet tomorrow and i am not really going to get any metabolism day until pinkie pie’s diet; my mom also got chinese and it was a family thing. THE GOOD THING IS i wasn’t hungry at all, i forced myself to eat today and somehow that made me very happy.

i only walked 3k steps today, i know is lame, but i spent all day sleeping, just like yesterday; however i won’t count today, just because it’s a metabolism day.

July 3rd;

we started the mlp diet! — rainbow dash week — and i did soooo great, i had a coffee with milk — no sugar — for breakfast (30), my grandfather made lunch (around 235) and i was doing great so i had a little snack before bed (101); that makes 366/900 cals for today!

i keep on walking around 3k per day but i have decided that as long as i stick to my diet it’s going to be ok.

July 4th;

today was a fruit mono day according to the mlp diet, but there’s literally no fruit in my house so i decided to fast today! it was a bit hard because i’ve had CRAZY cravings today, but i overcame them nicely.

i was meant to go to my ballet lessons today, but i overslept and have spent the entire rest of the day doing chores, i honestly have no idea how many steps i’ve walked today but my guess is again around 3k.

REVIEW

The Everything DASH Diet Meal Prep Cookbook

by Karman Meyer RD

200 Easy Make-Ahead Recipes

 Written by a registered dietician, this book introduces the DASH Diet to those that may not have heard of it before. The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension information has been around for several years and is not new to me and thought that perhaps this book would have ideas I could incorporate into my menus. Living overseas in a small village in Lebanon, I should probably have known better because many ingredients are not available or prohibitively expensive making the recipes in this book sometimes difficult. Also, having gone predominately vegetarian/vegan, I did not find many recipes that would help me eating as I am now.

 The book provides visual access by color to information that may be of interest to the reader –

- GREEN – answer to common question

- BLUE - fact

- YELLOW – essential information

- RED – an alert

 Chapters include the explanation of DASH, meal prepping basics then recipes for meal prep staples, breakfast, salads and sides, beef and pork, chicken and turkey, seafood, vegan-vegetarian, freezer meals, snacks, desserts, beverages and smoothies followed by a two week suggested menu.

 The information is easy to understand, the recipes varied, nutritional information for each recipe is included, and I believe this book will be helpful to those interested in reducing hypertension through diet.

 Thank you to NetGalley and Adams Media for the ARC – this is my honest review.
