Which characters have unique food-related quirks?

Marco: He takes his share of food only once and rarely goes for seconds unless he's starving.

Tarma: He takes large bites of his food and tends to down his drinks in just one or two gulps.

Eri: She frequently experiences loud belches or sudden sneezes shortly after finishing meals or consuming alcoholic beverages.

Fio: She always eats lentils on New Year's Day, believing they bring good luck and prosperity because they resemble coins. On the other hand, she avoids eating chicken on New Year's Day, as she thinks it's a symbol of bad luck. This is because chickens have a habit of scratching themselves backwards, which she views as a metaphor for moving backwards in life.

Trevor: He only starts eating at the table after observing others begin their meal.

Nadia: She often discusses her favourite food recipes, shares tips for achieving the perfect diet, and offers insights into what she's currently eating.

Ralf: Due to his belly being inflamed and bloody, he waits to eat until he's hungry to minimise the risk of vomiting or experiencing diarrhea shortly after.

Clark: When it comes to a handful of foods with layers, including burgers and wafer cookies, he separates the layers and eats each component individually.

Tequila: He whispers a quiet Catholic prayer before meals, expressing gratitude to God for the food he's about to enjoy.

Gimlet: He murmurs a brief Protestant prayer, asking God to bless his meal and pardon his tendency to make a mess.

Red Eye: As Ruoxi, she refuses to consume liquids without a solid accompaniment (e.g. crackers with soup); otherwise, she’ll regurgitate it and subsequently avoid eating it for several months. As Shufen, she quietly mumbles Buddhist mantras for 30 seconds before devouring her meals. Additionally, she eats her food in order from least favourite to most favourite, although she occasionally reverses this order.. As Liddy, she refuses to eat anything that’s been touched by someone else, fearing she might get germs and become sick.

General Morden: He opts for nutritious and homemade foods when in public, but privately indulges in junk food.

Doctor Amadeus: She prefers to drink all her beverages from wine glasses and avoids eating meat that has even a hint of pink inside, even if it's fully cooked.

Ptolemaios: He always finishes everything on his plate, even when he's full, because he hates the idea of wasting food.

Rootmars, Invader King, Pupipi, Avatar of Evil, Sol Dae Rokker, and Pocke: They have no food-related quirks worth noting

Walter: When he's finished eating and becomes absorbed in thought at the table, he often unintentionally taps his fork and knife together lightly.

Tyra: She usually waits until she's finished eating a meal before drinking a beverage unless she gets the hiccups or isn't enjoying her food.

Hyakutaro: Depending on what's on his plate, he eats his food from the least flavorful to the most flavorful.

Allen Jr.: He avoids meats with excessive chewy fat, finding it disgusting and believing it ruins the overall palatability of a meal.

Rumi: She always saves the bread for last because it fills her up very easily.

Madoka: She eats herring roe after each menstruation, believing it promotes fertility. During the winter solstice, she eats mandarins for good luck. However, she avoids peeling them in a spiral, believing this brings bad luck as it resembles a snake shedding its skin.

Sophia: She generally avoids using condiments, except for select foods like tacos and burgers.

Margaret: She lightly taps the food on her plate before eating to make sure it's not crispy and dry.

Leona: She prefers her alcoholic drinks lukewarm, finding icy cold temperatures unpleasant and difficult to swallow.

Heidern: He likes to separate his food by colour and ensure that everything is divided into equal portions.

Alisa Stewart: She'll eat foods that are near their expiration date but still safe to consume, even if it doesn't smell or taste quite right.

Nathalie Neo: She’ll have breakfast for dinner if she missed the meal earlier in the day or if she has a strong craving for it.

Roberto Nicola: He can't look at raw meat because it reminds him of the many instances he witnessed mutilated corpses and spilled gore on the battlefield.

President Marx: He uses utensils for every meal because he prefers to keep his hands and fingers clean.

Midori: She likes to dip her fries and bland chips into ice cream or milkshakes because of the sweet and salty combination.

Nayutaro: He always needs garlic in his dinners, but if it's not already included, he'll add a bit of garlic powder himself.

Issenmantaro: He has a preference for only eating foods that can be easily picked up with chopsticks or a spoon.

Nanahyakumantaro: He enjoys eating one noodle at a time and avoids eating microwavable foods, unless he particularly likes them.

Happyakumantaro: He always drinks his beverages through funky straws and enjoys adding tropical fruits to his cocktails.

Abul Abbas: He takes small sips of his beverage to savour its taste and avoid drinking it all before or during a meal.

Hilde Garn: He can't handle anything wrong with raw food, such as large brown spots on bananas or mushy blueberries.

Macba: He only eats and drinks when he's feeling extremely cheerful and optimistic or immensely stressed and needing a distraction.

Wired: He has a habit of mentally counting each bite of food he takes, finding it helps keep his mind sharp and focused, especially when he's not distracted by conversation or television.

Oghma: He often conducts a little taste test of his food to ensure it tastes good, is cooked just right, and doesn't have any unusual flavours.

Zoilo: He prefers to eat in dimly lit spaces, accompanied by sombre and chill music.

Anastasia: She prefers to keep different food groups separate, but will combine them if she thinks they'll complement each other well.

Wysteria: She eats her food one small piece at a time to fully enjoy its flavour and typically uses her hands, but switches to utensils for liquid foods.

Dilovar: He eats his meals in private because eating in front of people makes him feel uncomfortable, and he also dislikes listening to others chew their food. There are rare instances where he's willing to eat his meals with others and fully dismiss the chewing sounds they make, especially when he's in a really good mood.

Sagan: She always spices up foods she thinks look bland or unappetizing with spicy sauces like gochujang and chili garlic.

Logan: He eats his food from Z to A and he prefers to read a book while enjoying a dessert and an icy cold beverage.

Celaphios: He tends to swallow his food quickly and will only savor and chew slowly if he particularly enjoys the flavor.

Torquil: He has a habit of licking the lids of containers that hold specific foods, such as cream cheese, ice cream, and yogurt.

Guilherme: He avoids sharing utensils and eating crustaceans, believing they bring horrible luck, and doesn't want to inflict that on himself or others.

Ferdinand: He avoids eating snacks after lunch because he doesn’t want to spoil his appetite for dinner.

[felthamar]

♒ - cooking/food headcanon

Fel'thamar doesn't cook very often in truth. In fact, all of the times I have ever seen him deal with food, it's either assisting, cooking, or the rare occasion of using his affinity with fire to create something. Flamed seared, grilled, sometimes the sin of well-done. Ha! Don't worry, he isn't that crazy on his steaks. After all, there is only one correct way to eat a steak when life is at stake.

Now, you that man knows how to make a mean tea of any kind. Recently he became accommodated with drinking his share of all sorts of tea. Green tea with a hint of sugar has been one of his simple favorites.

The Locked Tomb series audiobooks will be re-released in Graphic Audio!

Early this morning, somebody on Twitter liked an old post of mine with a press release from Tamsyn’s literary agent’s website. And it made me realize I had not checked it in a really long time. So I looked, and found out not only that some new translations of Princess Floralinda (Italian and Hungarian!) and Gideon (Greek!) were coming, but that the rights for the TLT audiobooks were sold to Graphic Audio!!!

What does this mean? In short, we will be getting all new versions of each of the Locked Tomb audiobooks, with a full cast recording. That means different voice actors playing different roles as if we were listening to a real audio drama or dramatic reading of a stage play. No idea if Moira Quirk will be involved or not (god I hope so!!!) but this is cool! It usually only happens with really successful novels.

Also I looked up why it says “abridged” and I guess that usually just means they replace something such as descriptions of noises with the actual sounds. So ringing bells instead of the “blah blam” of the Ninth bells, etc. But otherwise it will be the full recordings of the full books!

I CAN’T WAIT!

[buggachat]

does anyone else form their headcanons of marinette and adrien largely on the basis of "they have to be opposite each other"? like, creation and destruction, yin and yang, etc. like Marinette being late all the time and sleeping through her alarms? so she's probably a deep sleeper? So that means, by the laws of my lovesquare headcanons according to my brain, Adrien has to be a light sleeper. Marinette is a chaotic creative person and I can imagine her just having so much STUFF all around and living in organized chaos. so therefore Adrien likes his spaces neat and clear. (also something something creation and clutter vs destruction and emptiness) you know??? ???? ? adrien and marinette headcanons just cant be independent of each other in my brain. they are always intrinsically linked

calling out all the 30+ yr old simmers..

no shade to the teens and early twenties bloggers but it’s hard finding people within my age group that are active and continue to contribute here in the community. 

also idk if anyone else experiences this but sometimes it can be difficult relating to the younger population due to generational differences, pop culture, etc. 

please reblog or comment if you fall into the 30+ age simblr category.

[szilverer]

y'know... for a setting that places so much importance in Language and does so many ice cool things playing with it (Correspondence/Discordance, Parabola & Irem, etc) i think there's a bit of a missed opportunity when it comes to the terms and words people use in their day to day life... like for example:

do you think radical revolutionaries would avoid words like "enlightening" in their vocabulary and flip them for LON-appropriate counterparts to signal their beliefs?

like substituting the word "light" with "blight". lol

similarly, pet names relating to light like "sunshine" kinda have a whole extra flavour tied to them, leaning into nostalgia, melancholy and/or danger depending on the people using it. irony, even

"honey" as a pet name also has extra connotations now and might actually bother some people instead due to the association with the drug...

do you think SMEN, taboo as it is, and seeking being a recognizable phenomenon even to the common londoner, would spawn swear words and insults? (imagine the weight of telling someone to Go Seek or Fall Down a Well)

the word "well" itself. well as an adverb, interjection, adjective. just. think about it. think about what it represents. idk something is happening to this word for sure

Ideas for Quirk training for the yakuza guys? Maybe throw in Gentle and La Brava?

I'll stick with the Yakuza since I have more then enough ideas for them. Plus, I really like the idea of this being part of the Hero Haul AU and this is Kai taking his gang on a retreat in order to "build team work"

Hojo, Tabe, and Toya: Hojo would be making his crystals while Toya would be trying to pull them off of his body. In between them, Tabe would be trying to eat the flying crystals before Toya can catch them. This would train Hojo's production speed and durability of his crystals, increase Toya's range and pulling power, and improve Tabe's ability to catch and eat moving targets.

Rikiya and Deidoro: This two have a special job. They are two go around to where any one else is training and start harassing them, with Deidoro making them lose balance and Rikyia draining their energy. This not only helps train everyone else by add extra difficulty, but could help improve their own powers as well, like increasing Rikiya's drain rate and Deidoro's range.

Tengai: Since Tengai already has enough defensive power and can use his shields reactively, he doesn't really need to train those parts. What he could do is try to get better and forming moving the shields. Things like trying to slowly inch it forward to a certain point or trying to form the shield around other objects as a way to trap them within the barrier, improving his ability to control and deny an area.

Joi: Considering the only known limit of his power is the size limit of his power, he could try and take over larger objects and make them move around. He could try to take over small parts of larger objects. It be like what he did in the hideout, but on a smaller scale. Barring that, he could simply try to get better at shaping and controlling the objects, like trying to solve a puzzle box while he is the box.

Hari: Since Hari can't really train his power on other people without ruining a whole afternoon of training, the best choice for him would be to simply practice on dummies. Namely ones that are constantly moving around. This could help increase the speed and accuracy of his arrows, making the condition easier to inflict, Heck, it could even help grow the Quirk to the point where it can start working on objects as well as people.

Shin: While I do like the idea of Shin going around and asking people uncomfortable questions all day, I think his time would be served better elsewhere. Since so much of his power is based around questions, it'd be good for him to try and figure out better ways to phrase his words. He could also try and learn psychological tactics to try and dig for what would be the best questions to ask someone and how to best exploit their secrets.

Rappa: While I figure Rappa's training would involve him punching stuff, that's not the route I'm going to take. His training would involve him using his hands for literally anything else. Look, I've said that Rappa has been wasting his power and this would be a good chance. Things like rapidly doing tasks with his hands or using them to practice throwing's things. I don't care if I have to duct tape tools to his hands, he's going to do something other then punch things.

Kai: Overhaul was easily the hardest to come up with anything for. How can you go up any further from one of the strongest Quirks in the series. The only thing I could think of was the fusion aspect of his power. For all of his power, Kai's fusions seems very incomplete. Less perfection combination and more heinous hybrid. So maybe he could try practicing on some non-living objects, like trying to turn a bunch of metals into an alloy by trying to piece them together or something like that.

[secriden]

the most passionate i've ever seen peat wasuthorn chaijindar was when a fan asked him for thoughts on food in beijing and (after, quite impressively, spending most of the live actively speaking in other languages to engage with his international audience) boy literally went, ok i'm going to have to answer this in thai otherwise i won't be able to explain my thoughts in sufficient detail. xD

[saintlesbian]

hello i would like to know some of your worldbuilding re: paradise state! sounds like it's a bit about wealth divide, so what kind of accesibility/convenience differences are there? Like, are bycicle helmets different for each animal? are there standard ones for cheap and custom unicorn helmets for a ton of money? or conversely is that a sort of handwaved away and you're more focused on the characters and their dynamics with each other instead?

Paradise State is a story more focused on characters and dynamics, so a lot of the heavy furry worldbuilding stuff gets handwaved away so as not to distract from the main story. characters are generally designed to be as humanoid as possible (aside from their heads, tails and fur), so some of the more complicated animal traits are simplified (i.e. digitigrade paws, talons, hooves, etc. being translated into a plantigrade format that still resembles the original form but also can fit in normal shoes) for ease of drawing.

that said! although i was originally gonna just dismiss this ask since there aren't really any instances in which the story itself would address furgonomics like this, i remembered one of the characters (Stephanie) actually rides a motorcycle? so i thought this might be a fun thought exercise to try designing standard issue headgear for furries :P

the average motorist helmet has a longer visor to account for varied snout lengths, as well as an ear shaped pocket for higher ears (covered with a lightweight mesh so you can still hear), and removable sections on the top for people with larger horns or antlers to fit up top. horn protection not included; those are sold separately.

other headgear has been altered somewhat to accommodate for ears and snouts as well. respirators and face masks shape more like muzzles with an adjustable strap wrapped around the back of the head. glasses generally don't have temple pieces as people's ears are often too high up to be worn comfortably, so instead they just have very secure nasal bridges. goggles and any other eye covers wrap around the head and go under the ear.

ofc none of this is actually mentioned in the story, these are simply my personal style guides for drawing certain headgear :D

the way bakugo already knew todoroki would know what this meant because he knows he’s smart… that silent respect and admiration culminating in perfect team work 🌈

also this is what people mean when they talk about matching someone’s freak

You ever struggle so hard to peel an orange and then once you're finished somebody offers you a knife?

[badly-drawn-pigeon]

What if Hashirama's theatrical depression fits are actually a mechanism that he learned in order to be able to express his sadness at all? Like, being down in a "serious" way could give him a beating from Butsuma because "it's shameful for a ninja to cry" and this kind of BS. So Hashi rather than repress these feelings began to crank up their expression to 300% and make an absolute show of himself every time he felt bad. This way, Butsuma could now say "my son is f*cking stupid" but it didn't carry as much condemnation as "my son is weak".
