[buffetlicious]

Just looking at this pack of Char Siu (叉烧) or barbecued pork, brushed with maltose and/or honey glaze and charred is enough to make one salivate. Mum asked the seller for one that has enough fat so that the meat is not dry. Together with my Roasted Duck Drumstick Rice (烧鸭腿饭), it makes for a delicious brunch.

let the paragraphs begin!/j

Characters <3 (OG Ask Game)

1. Why do you like or dislike this character?

(This is going to be a paragraph be prepared)

So first of, Darkwing's honestly just really funny. He is the smartest idiot you'll ever meet (The 'breadcrumb on the bridge' scene lives rent free in my head iykyk). He has such a based disguise, but somehow also no swag (at least three villainesseses have fallen for him regardless). He survives purely out of luck and children's-cartoon-protagonist-powers. He saves lives every night and no one respects him. His name is Male Duck. THE character of all time

Also, Darkwing has quite...interesting morals. Like, he isn't gonna kill people, but he also doesn't really care, if they just so happen to die (this is canon) He's also incredibly self-absorbed, to the point it can interfere with how he interacts with other people (though he's also masking his insecurities and trauma, which on that note, I'm a sucker for a sad backstory), but that doesn't mean he doesn't care

With that said, MAN Darkwing CARES. That man got a family in the span of one day, and was immeditaely ready to die for them. Even if he can be clouded by his own ego, he loves Launchpad, and he loves Gosalyn, and he loves being a hero, and he loves being a dad, and he loves being a friend His interactions with Nega-Gosalyn uhwefiohusdf you can not expect me to be normal about that! I will never shut up about Darkly Dawns the Duck, or Steerminator, or Crisis of Infinite Darkwings, I simply can't Not even mentioning the fact that, after years off being completely absorbed into his hero-identity and completely shutting himself of from society, Launchpad is the first person he trusts so completely, he reveals his identity to him. He doesn't just let him into his life as a sidekick, but explicitly as a member of his new family

But (and this is prob one of my favourite tropes any superhero-media can do ever), Darkwing is also shown to care about his villains, though more so in the comics, than the show Of course - one of my favourites - "Dawn of the Day of the Return of the Living Spud". When Darkwing decides to call Bushroot by his first name, to just completely level with him as a person. The situation requires urgency and action, but he knows why Reginald can't do it. He has seen how far that man was willing to go for company, he knows how lonely he is. Darkwing can't force him, so he reasons with him, because Bushroot is not imcapable of being reasoned with. And then even once Posey has already been defeated, and so the stakes are no longer there, Darkwing checks up on him again. He obviously cares about how Reggie is feeling after this. Because while he might think the entire potato-wife-plan was crazy, he can understand how important it was to Bushroot, and how he was forced to kill the only living being he thought came close to being like him

Then there's of course also the entire thing with Quackerjack in "Toy with Me", and Claire humbling him with the idea that Quackerjack (and villains in general), are people beyond what Darkwing sees them as. And while he unfortunately never really got the chance to talk it out with QJ, both times Darkwing had that moment of "trust me, I get it" (For Bushroot it was the loneliness, for QJ wanting to be better than everyone else) And characters like Darkwarrior Duck prove that Darkwing is not above becoming a villain himself, if the circumstances were right. It shows that - to an extent ofc - being a villain or not depends on luck, and is not some unavoidable destiny In some aspects, he's not all too different from them

I love Darkwing Duck, I know that may not have been obvious /j

4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?

I'm sure this also exists internationally, though I'm not sure to which extent, but here in Germany there's a pretty well-known children's book series called "Conni"

Most of these books are just about a young Conni either expieriencing new things for the first time and learning about them, or learning how to deal with new emotions

And while Jonas is definitely older than Conni is in most of these books:

1. I'm pretty sure if I take Jonas out of his "squeeky-clean" and organized society and put him in anything with too much action, he will explode

2. Because of the whole 'discovering new memories' thing, I think Jonas would actually quite profit from and enjoy learning about all these "mundane" things with Conni. He'd basically just get to have a semi-normal childhood

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

At first I was a little stumped at this one, but then it hit me like a truck

I Deserve to Bleed, by Sushi Soucy

That man carries so much guilt and blame within himself, he is Not Okay. He still blamed mostly himself after Kalagan blew up his home

I truly believe that after everything he did in the books, if Kalagan had abandoned his plan even a little early, and made up with Dante, he would have accepted it in a heartbeat, because he was so haunted by his actions, he would have done anything to get back what he once had

"Sympathy and love, we can extent to someone else But it's harder, when you have to love yourself"

6. What's something you have in common with this character?

Oh, I should really re-read the books somewhen. I do have to admit, I don't remember that much about Theo, unfortunately (minus his arcs in the third book, but I have opinions about how those were handled by the plot)

Though from the things I do remember, his "secret" in the fourth book sticks out the most to me. The fact that he keeps thinking about his dove a lot, and tries to imagine what he could have done better I'm also someone who tends to overthink on past scenarios, and how they could have been handled better/differently, especially if I think, I could have fault in said situation

21. If you're a fic writer and have written for this character, what's your favorite thing to do when you're writing for this character? What's something you don't like?

I have yet to actually write a proper MM-Fic tbh, so I'm using this oppurtunity to talk about Good Uncle Sly a little bit

Because as I have said once before, I'd like the Kalagans to connect with the Misfits a little bit, using something that they share (for Theo it's family expectations, Ridley using caution and distrust in order to keep people safe, etc.) For him and Leila, I would get them to connect over their respective times in the orphanage. Because no one in these books who went to an orphanage came out alright (/lh)

So I guess, in one way or another, you could say I like writing a bit more about Leila's trauma. I think trauma exploration in characters is always fun

24. What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?

I've mentioned this before in passing, but definitely Kilroy and Kincaid, but also Olly and Izzy

Like, Flim and Flam are not evil! At best, they're mean. The worst thing they did imo, was sell fake medicine, otherwise they're just petty scammers and jerks (and in their very first appearance, they weren't even scammers, technically!). But they are very much still schemy business boys

But of course, they have this inherent togetherness. It is literally baked into their characters, looking at their cutie marks; like, those boys were never gonna go off and each do their own thing Like honestly? The whole thing Kincaid does, where he turns himself in to be with his brother, because there is no way to get him out? I could see Flim and Flam doing that

Though I'm throwing Olly and Izzy in here too, because the Kalagans are just slightly missing the very important showman-ship aspect Flim and Flam have. Like don't get me wrong, they are magicians, and they put on "shows", when they rob people. But the way the Goldens perform is just a lot more reminiscent, of how Flim and Flam do it, especially when it comes to overall energy and vibe. You could throw all four of them into the same routine, and they would ace it. Also, both of them are rocking the Barbershop-Quartet fit; straw hats and striped jackets and all

And lastly, they are of course all rocking the Identical Twin Swag (well, Olly and Izzy are fraternal ig, but you get what I mean :P )

Thank you so much for the ask, Shadow! :D

are the french streamers also going to be given an egg and forced into a polycule like the brazilian streamers?

[junalaa128]

they need to make a trigun jump-n'-run game where you flee from angry townsfolk. but make it look like a gba game. like. i would kill for that honestly (ok actually not because thou shalt not kill or whatever but you get the message. we're pacifists here but still)

❝ oh, huey. huey, huey, huey, huey. don't think of it as . . . mindlessly giving your favorite brother some of your hard earned cash. instead, think of it as a smart investment into your future ! no, better yet, you selfless woodchuck, you -- ❞ louie gives a small flick to huey's cap, giving a nod.

[buffetlicious]

Would you like a piece of this sweet and caramelized Char Siu (叉烧) or the glossy and juicy Roasted Duck (烧鸭)? The barbecued pork with the charred edges and fatty bits is bursting with smoky sweet flavours while the still crispy skin of the duck is just begging you to sink in the teeth. Here I am enjoying them with savoury rice cooked in the fats of the duck/chicken.

Rotating Wilma and Duck at all times btw. Congrats on the metal husband wife Wilma

first position, second position, plié, arabesque —— it's easy, to recall ballet and movements thoroughly taught and fully memorized, immortalized in his mind and body for the rest of time ; it's a concentration tactic, one that he's used time and time again to focus and center himself, something that has never failed him. not once, not amidst studying nor looking after mytho ( an ache, sharp as a poorly cushioned landing, knees buckling ) nor anything that's ever required an ounce of his own focus.

—— until now, that is, because naturally should one thing begin to fail everything else shall, too, a piece falling and shattering the rest.

irritation smarts / he's been trying to read this passage for the better part of an HOUR AT THIS POINT, yet no amount of refocusing techniques can sharpen his focus nor bring his attention back around or anything because —— BECAUSE ——

❝ —— duck, ❞ too sharp, a pirouette off kilter, a quill shredding paper. fakir throws his frustration at others, externalizes it fully, an unwieldy and cruel thing / he's never quite managed to stifle it and doesn't know how, not even in the face of her / there's that soft, melancholic ebb of guilt that pulls at something that must be his soul if not his heart. she emotes everything, anything and everything, eyes overly expressive and mouth dropping open and LOOKING AT @heartinhands HURTS / heart skittering and racing / he wishes he could ignore it / ignore her / but it's FUTILE, isn't it?

what a title. fakir : a study in futility. how sad. felled by a duck—girl that —— stop that right there. don't you dare.

duck, duck, hovering and flitting about, a bird even in the body of a girl, her proximity distracting to the point of nearby madness. he can't look at her / doesn't want to look at her / LOOKS AT HER ( bright as the sun, luminescent as the moon, he could vomit and probably should ) and her soft, shocked expression. ❝ what ( ... ) ❞ a steady inhale / he makes an attempt at softening himself, at soothing the twitching muscle in his cheek, at unfurrowing his brow, palms pressed flat against the pages, ❝ are you doing? ❞
