genuinely how was Dakota born? Does Bacchus sometimes come to life while Dionysus is at chb and randomly go reproduce because he's not confined to Zeus' rules? Did Bacchus just think the kid into existence Athena style? Was he just really fucking drunk one time?

i'm thinking about the guards outside aventurine's room in the reverie. stuck working a boring security job on THE planet of festivities, stationed outside a room in boring reality where someone's literally just sleeping all day. absolutely jackshit to do.

but there's no way aventurine would trust just any old grunt to guard him when he's that vulnerable; they had to have been hand-picked, personally vetted over years of working for him. it's no small feat to become someone aventurine trusts not to stab him in the back, even with the built-in insurance that if you shank your boss, he can't sign your paychecks anymore.

so they were familiar enough with him to know how he works, i.e., pulling off insane stunts and doing it solo. i have to think they're the kind of people who would've wanted to join him - not because they're sore about not getting to see the dream, but because they want to guard him IN the dream. you have a whole team of us, boss! put us to work!

and he keeps insisting no, he has to do it alone. it's too risky.

what could notorious gambler aventurine possibly find "too risky?" it's not that he thinks they'll slow him down or get in his way; it's not that he just prefers working alone or hates relying on others. that's what other people, in other departments, might think.

but these guys know: he does these missions solo because he doesn't want to risk their lives - that's the unacceptable risk to him.

(they also know not to ever say so aloud, because said notorious gambler has a reputation to maintain, and "worries about his employees' wellbeing" does not fit the image.)

Oh gosh. Feeding the chain modern food. I've actually thought about this a lot.

I think it's a fun idea to give them all these weird and new recipes/food items, but I also think it would probably make most of them sick

Like, (speaking as an American) so much food is processed. Even some of the stuff you think you're getting healthy has been processed or is riddled with additives/pesticides/gmo's

So just. unadulterated junk food? On boys that have never in their lives eaten anything but the cleanest, as organic as it gets, nutritional meals? McDonald's? Some sour candy? I wouldn't be surprised if they puked it up

(I can just imagine Wind or Wild wanting to try some of Reader's "weird" food so badly, and then getting immediately sick. The chain then regards them as having an iron stomach for all the weird stuff they eat without batting an eye.

...maybe not Wild though actually. He eats rocks.)

Don't even get me started on the nutritional adaptation. Like a reader that doesn't ever eat fruits/veggies/drink water?? They'd wonder how they're alive 😭😭

Hyrule and Wild are the only ones who can stomach it.

Twilight and Warrior are wiling to try even if they get stomach aches afterwards. Twilight drinks chuchu jelly. So I'm sure he'd fine in the end. And I'm willing to bet that Warrior had to et some weird things during the war when ration ran low so he can tough it out.

Legend can go one of two ways. He can either tolerate like no big deal or he's taken out of commission for the week. There's no in-between. He's traveled a lot so I'm sure he's been exposed to a lot of different things and can thus handle more- but it's a Russian Roulette of what can take and can't take.

Wind and Four don't last long. They eat bologna and are out for the rest of the day with tummy aches.

Don't even try with Time or Sky. They're the most sensitive. I'm willing to bet the smell alone can make them feel sick.

How much protein is in those damn grubs?????

Maybe a hot take but I think Hyrule wouldn’t be as bad a cook as a lot of fics paint him to be. Yeah he lives in a dying world but there are other people there as well who live in actual towns that need to eat as well, and it’s clear the kingdom is starting to recover in Zelda 2. There’s actual plants and stuff. There’s meat. Also there’s probably salt. Get my boy the four edible things from his era and I bet he’d make something surprisingly tasty

I honestly cannot believe that there are people on earth who will only eat skinless chicken breast because of the minimal difference in fat while skin on chicken thighs exist.

Diet culture is such a chokehold. We're all going to die and visible abs aren't even a look if it means you have to eat the saddest chicken alive to achieve it. But I'm also willing to bet you can eat any cut of chicken in the same measurement as you would the chicken breast and it would never ruin any muscle gain or fat loss because give me a fucking break.

i dont know enough about "clothes" or "fashion" to design cool or cohesive outfits. i become the struggler

[tenderjock]

i do think the most interesting interpretation of btvs lore is that non-vampire demons and mystical entities ALL have souls, unless they sold, destroyed or otherwise got rid of them (like the mayor)

@honestalgernon We went back to Heber City today for breakfast. You mentioned this place on one of my other Utah posts.

I don't remember ever eating chicken fried steak, so I wasn't sure what to expect. But that is what I ordered, and I liked it.

With the enormous side of hashbrowns and an equally large serving of gravy, plus two eggs and toast, there was food for four. I couldn't finish, but only because I got full.

Service was also good. Maybe too good. I didn't need a second jumbo Diet Coke, but I received one. I couldn't even drain the first one.

idk, i know ed is common in people with adhd so it's probably a touchy subject to a lot of people, but I'm tired man

[glooomtownbrats]

grian in general definitely has a Sleeper Build . he's always under that big sweater. no one knows until they see him easily do pull ups and its like. ??????

Of course he is jacked. I don't think a builder really can't do their job if they can't lift. Think about how much wood and stone you gott be able to bench.

[cathandoesnt]
