You and your boyfriend were arguing about who could bake the best Christmas cookies and you figured that the only way to find out was to have a competition. You both got all the ingredients you needed and once you both were ready to begin, the competition began.

𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐲𝐚

He would have a little knowledge of baking but he figured that it couldn’t be that hard, right?

Wrong, when he looked up a recipe, he was extremely lost, did he even look up the correct thing?

He would trust in himself and just follow the recipe, he would get confused at the measurements and just eyeball it instead of figuring out the difference between a tsp and a tbsp

Besides the measurements, he followed the other instructions pretty accurately

When it was time to judge, his presentation was not the best but also not the worse

He sweat dropped when he saw how neatly decorated your cookies were and when he tasted them, he knew he lost

His cookies would taste too salty since his measurements were off which meant that you won

𝐓𝐚𝐧𝐣𝐢𝐫𝐨

He knew a lot about baking since Nezuko would often bake and talk about it with him

He wouldn’t even look up a recipe, he would pull one from memory and somehow remember all the instructions and measurements

He made sure to mix everything well, place them in the oven for the perfect amount of time and then decorate them carefully

His cookies would be soft and chewy, not to mention delicious

He also thought your cookies were really good so he decided to call it a tie and he congratulated you

You both would eat all the cookies while watching a Christmas movie and cuddling

𝐙𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐬𝐮

He would try so hard and would spend so much time trying to figure out how to read the measurements

His hands would be shaky when pouring the sugar or any other ingredients since he didn’t want to mess up

He almost had a mental breakdown during the baking process, he did not expect baking to be this hard

When all the cookies were ready, he was extremely nervous when it came to judging

His cookies were surprisingly tasty and he had never felt so much relief in his life

He still thought yours were better but this competition made him discover that he actually liked baking even though he was a nervous wreck the whole time

𝐈𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐮𝐤𝐞

He thought he could bake the best cookies without any guidance so he just mis random ingredients and think that they would be the best thing you’ve ever tasted

He would throw in two whole sticks of butter before drowning them in a whole bag of sugar

He would throw a lot of eggs in the mixture, shell and all before mixing them very roughly

He wouldn’t even divide them into parts, he would just dump the entire thing onto the pan, put it into the oven and crank the heat up all the way

When it was time to judge, you didn’t want to eat his cookies so you just let him win

Muskox (Ovibos moschatus)

Family: Cattle Family (Bovidae)

IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern

Although its name and appearance may suggest that it is a species of wild bovine, the Muskox (plural Muskoxen) is more closely related to sheep and goats (although, as a member of the family Bovidae, it is still a cousin of cattle.) Found in arctic tundra biomes, Muskoxen live in mixed-sex herds with separate hierarchies for females and males, and a different system of organisation depending on the time of year: during the summer the highest-ranking males lead the herd in searching for food, but after mating the herd is largely led by the highest-ranking females. Muskoxen feed on lichens, grasses, mosses and woody plants (with the Arctic Willow, a tiny low-growing species of willow adapted to life in extremely cold climates, being particularly important in the diets of most individuals) and travel continually in search of food, with males periodically leaving strong-smelling scent markings on their tracks to encourage wandering females to join their herd. The size, strength and social behaviour of this species means that a healthy adult Muskox has few predators with the exception of the Arctic Wolf (which may take down even large males through cooperative hunting strategies), and on occasion the Brown Bear (although this is unusual), and when threatened every member of a herd will gather in a circle with their horns facing outwards towards the potential predator and any calves on the inside where it is safest. The vast majority of Muskoxen are found in Greenland and northernmost Canada, although smaller populations are known to exist in Alaska, Siberia, Norway and Sweden.

By the time the sound of fists on flesh ended, I was weeping profusely, and he was silent. His unresponsive body was dragged past me, blood pouring readily from his slack mouth and trailing from his evidently-broken nose. Breathe. Breathe… Please. But I saw no mist rise from his parted lips as he was heaved by me, leaving a familiar trail of red on white in his wake. The doctor stopped before me, squatting, and I raised my head as best I could. “You promised mercy.” He was quiet for a moment, humming through pursed lips as he cleaned off his glasses, wiping the blood splatters from the lenses. “He is alive. That is mercy. Creatures of your… Persuasion are immoral and illegal. We are told to dispatch such things from our ranks as quietly as possible.” “That’s disgusting,” I growled, teeth bared, but he didn’t even look up as he pressed his glasses back up his nose. “No. What you are – that is disgusting. A sign of fascism and degeneracy. You are lucky I do not eradicate you, too.” He reached forward, bloodstained fingers grasping my chin, and I winced. “But you are far too rare a specimen to let go so easily.” Snarling, I snapped at his hand as best I could, earning me a sharp backhand across my cheek that left my ears ringing. “Enough. We had a deal. I showed him mercy – but I am more than happy to take that back if you do not behave.” I clenched my jaw tightly, not trusting myself to speak, and he smiled. “You will spend the night out here, of course. You still require punishment.” He ran a hand through my hair, but I only stiffened, making no effort to move away and eliciting a pleased hum as he leant forward to whisper in my ear. “Good boy.”
