[wanyinchen]

uh oh you hurt his demon, whoospies

He may be a big softie but DO NOT push his buttons.

Hello everyone! I'm "new" to the fandom :D (LIES i have been lurking for the last two years before summoning the courage to draw for it, yes, i am like that, unfortunately)

[thatanimewriter]

EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE.

➳ synopsis: the boys can't help but micromanage the catering at their wedding and he really needs to just sit down and enjoy his special day

➳ character/s: yukihira soma, tsukasa eishi

➳ warnings: swearing (soma), cameos of other cast members, could be taken as platonic or romantic, ryo wants to be husband material

➳ notes: i just think they'd never let someone take care of cooking at their own wedding without coming over to check to make sure everything is perfect, so here are some short ficlets

𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬 / 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭  / 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 / 𝐰𝐢𝐩 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭

── 𝐘𝐔𝐊𝐈𝐇𝐈𝐑𝐀 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐀.  

he knows his dad won't royally fuck up his wedding (he thinks) but there is an inkling of anxiety when he's reminded of his disgusting creations, especially when his dad got up to do his little speech. it's not like his dad was the only chef for tonight, ryo and hayama had also joined the fray, perhaps to honour their previous victory as the top 3 at the autumn elections.

"stop hovering," joichiro grumbled, seasoning the meat at his work station. "you're supposed to be sitting down with your partner, go do that."

soma whined in response, reaching to grab a knife but got his hand slapped away. "what if you serve something gross?"

"i won't, i won't."

"soma!" you called, arms crossed. "you asked them to cater, let them do their thing," you said, pulling him away from the kitchen.

he sighed as he was dragged along, but called out to his dark-haired companion before he was forced out. "i can cook better than you, i'm married and you're not!"

"HUH?!"

"even hayama got married before you," he continued, a mischievous grin glued to his lips.

"I'LL CATCH THAT BOUQUET AND SHOW YOU I'M HUSBAND MATERIAL!" ryo yelled, earning a cackle from soma as he ran back into the reception hall.

── 𝐓𝐒𝐔𝐊𝐀𝐒𝐀 𝐄𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈.

they say old habits die hard, and that certainly is the case for tsukasa. shuffling his way to the kitchen, he twiddled his thumbs as he watched his elite ten cohort churn out dishes with knitted brows and a trembling gaze.

"tsukasa, you're the one who stopped us from having fun at your wedding, at least let us do our job," rindou teased, searing the meat in her pan.

he gasped in horror, "you're not having fun? should i have asked someone else to do it? what if the others aren't having fun? what if people are only here because they felt bad-"

"come back to the reception hall, tsukasa, people want to talk to you and congratulate you," you stated, putting a comforting hand on his shoulder. "they've got it covered, you know these people are good."

"ok..." he mumbled, timidly walking away.

"oi, tsukasa! you owe us a round of drinks after we're done here!" rindou called, a cat-like grin on her features.

"ah, please don't get drunk at my wedding!" he cowered, immediately running back to the kitchen.

"you're being a bad husband by leaving your spouse alone," she joked, shaking her head in faux disappointment.

"am i?!"

"yup," you confirmed, gripping his hand and dragging him back into the reception hall as he fretted over his capabilities as a husband.

Nugget Budget (dp x dc)

"This is the worst day of my life," Danny said as he stood in front of the frozen section. He was feeling pretty close to tears. Dino nuggets were his one comfort food and he'd had a shitty week. He deserved his Dino nuggets.

"What kind of grocery store doesn't have Dino nuggets," Danny despaired to himself as he held his hand up to the cold glass despairingly. Just as he was wallowing in the horror of his situation, he caught someone moving down the aisle in the corner of his eye. He looked up and immediately, his eyes narrowed as he noticed what the guy had in his caddie.

"What the hell, man," Danny let out indignantly.

"I'm sorry?" The ginger guy stopped and turned towards Danny.

"Why would you take all the nuggets?" Danny pointed at his caddie filled with at least a dozen frozen nugget boxes.

"Uh," the guy lifted an eyebrow at him. "To eat them?"

"You can't take them all!" Danny protested. "I need my nuggets."

"There's lots left," the guy said as he gestured towards the refrigerated boxes of other brand of nuggets.

"Not Dino ones," Danny begged to differ.

The redhead shrugged. "Don't know what to tell you. Better luck next time?" Then, his phone let out a ping and he held it up to look at the screen. He let out a soft curse and started wheeling away, taking all the Dino nuggets with him.

"Wait!" Danny tried but the guy didn't even turn around.

"Sorry, gotta run!" he said over his shoulder as he disappeared behind the aisle, leaving Danny alone in the frozen section, bereft of his Dino nuggets.

As he looked on towards where the guy had disappeared, Danny's despair solidified into a cold resolve. Whether the guy had been aware of it or not, this was an act of war.

The nugget thief would not be allowed to go on unpunished. Danny swore it on his stolen frozen chicken.

Food Wars! Shokugeki no Souma in: Going Grocery Shopping

(Char. Involved: Sōma Yukihira, Akira Hayama, Takumi Aldini, Eishi Tsukasa)

(Thank you so much for 40 notes! Here's another one for you guys. Sorry i couldn't do a short story for these but take some headcanons my dears.)

Sōma Yukihira

-Usually you cant take him anywhere because he causes an issue in which you have to be asked to leave (much to your despair)

-The grocery store is probably the only place you two can go without much problems

-May or may not be sneaking ingredients that werent on your list into the shopping cart

"Oh? What do you mean there werent any Rice crackers and Salmon in the cart before? I'm certain you put them in."

-Will asked to be pushed in the cart around the aisles

-If he ever gets lost, find him in the Frozen Dessert aisle, he loves it there for whatever reason

"C'mon Babeeee. Just one more tub of Ice cream.....Yes i know we already have 4 tubs already. Your point is?"

-However if you were shopping for a food war/cooking practice, he'd be very helpful

-Recommending ingredients, telling you the best flavor combinations from his experience, and slipping in a few personal items

-Overall, hes a massive child in the store so please hold his hand so he doesn't run off

Akira Hayama

-A rollercoaster of emotions

-Its like stepping into a whole other world when you food shop with him

-He tends to find the items in the store "Sub par" and "Second rate" but always picks the best ones with his well trained sense of smell

"Why bother buying from these cheap stores when i have fresh spices and blends at home?"

-He'd swear he hates shopping with you but secretly enjoys the time he spends with you (Good luck getting him to admit it though)

-May subtly tease and feign ignorance when you need help reaching something at a higher shelf

"Hm? Cant you reach it on your own from down there?” -pause- “Whats that look on your face for?"

-On rare occasions, he'll hold your hand when you go together

-He swears its just so that you dont get lost but you know better

-To be honest, its just less of a arduous task if you just go by yourself

Takumi Aldini

-One of the most normal ones on this list if we're being honest

-Its just a calming and sweet time through and through

-He's usually the one to ask you to go with him but will flush when you ask why

"Dont be silly, I just thought you'd want to pick up some things for your upcoming food war, thats all."

-Will never leave you on your own in the store since he loves spending time with you more than he'll admit (his face gives him away)

-He'll push the cart and carry your bags like a gentleman

"How could you even say that, Il mio amore? As if id let you carry them when you already paid."

-An absolute god at picking vegatables for some reason

-His background in the restaurant business definitely plays a part

-In the top 3 (And not three) guys you should always bring when you're shopping

(New!) Eishi Tsukasa

-A walking beige flag when it comes to shopping

-You either love it or want to rip every single hair from your body with tweezers

-Hes not loud or causing a disturbance but hes micro managing and nitpickjng everything

"Thats the one you chose?" "Uhp, I wouldnt go with that one."

-Its better to just let him do everything because he'll make you feel stupid no matter what move you make (even though thats not his intention)

-He means well but lets be honest, you just arent on the same page very often in terms of shopping

"I apologize dear but you know im particular. I dont mean to hover."

-If you have no filter and tell him to cut it out, he'll immeidiently draw back into himself at your blantant rejection

-His more awkward side will show and he will mumble endless strings of apologies

-Just be ready to put up with this weird snowflake

You Can't Cook

age in bio when interacting. minors do not interact.

Word Count: 439 | Read it on AO3 | Tag List

Featuring: Takumi, Isami, and Satoshi

Being unable to cook isn’t necessarily a big deal. Takumi cooks all the time to help out at the restaurant. He doesn’t have an issue cooking for you too.

The only time it would be an issue is if you refuse to cook at all. He can’t be the only one in the house cooking all the time. While he won’t directly say that he has an issue with this. The signs will be there. He doesn’t mind taking the time to show you how to cook and helping you out with cooking. You both can take turns cooking something. He will be very patient in teaching you how to cook. He knows that it isn’t always easy for others to do. So, he’ll continue teaching and being there for you until you are able to cook for yourself without needing any help. Of course, if you have any questions, you can always ask, and he’ll answer.

Isami has no issue with you being unable to cook. With him being the only one able to cook, he can continue to work on his cooking skills and improve himself. He doesn’t want you to be able to cook better than he can and is slightly insecure about that. He’ll be hesitant to teach you how to cook and will only do so if you really want to. If you have questions, he may or may not help you. It depends on how he is feeling at that time. If he teaches you how to cook, you’ll be a better cook, but if he doesn’t teach you, then you won’t know how to cook. It won’t be obvious that he is trying to get you to fail. So it won’t be something that you can obviously tell.

Satoshi doesn’t mind that you can’t cook. If you want to learn, he has no issue showing you and teaching you. He will be proud when you develop your own way of cooking. He has his own preferred way of cooking, and he hates that people tell him to cook a certain way. So, the fact that you found your own way of cooking makes him proud. He isn’t going to tell you to cook in any specific way; he will only teach you to cook. Things like how long to cook something until it’s well done. Simple things like that; the rest is kind of up to your own creativity. He doesn’t want to tell you what to do and for you to find your own way of doing things. He will help you out if you ask him to. He doesn’t mind.

── 𝐘𝐔𝐊𝐈𝐇𝐈𝐑𝐀 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐀.  

talk your shit

he'll get you a megaphone to say it again

he agrees with you 100%

now you have to marry him btw :))

constantly trying out any new yukihira diner recipes on you

he may be at totsuki, but he still wants to take over the diner and make happiness affordable and memorable

you don't need fancy shit to bring people joy >:((

he also drags you to tons of festivals n markets to try the street food and festival food

if unhealthy, why taste good??

screaming if you ever make him something homemade

and he will scoff that shit down

he gets sick of fancy food too, so he's more than happy to have your homemade things in between classes

constantly leaning over your shoulder at the dorms to see what you're making

always licks the bowl if it's a cake or something

personal dish washer

will make you a yukihira diner dish in bento form every time you have to be away for something

comfort food and a movie at least twice a week

jokingly calls you 'wifey' regardless of gender because he's determined you'll get married for the homemade food thing

joichiro approves-

── 𝐊𝐔𝐑𝐎𝐊𝐈𝐁𝐀 𝐑𝐘𝐎.

a lowkey judgmental squint at you

-.-

he's unsure if he agrees with you

but he's never gonna say no to trying anything homemade that you offer him

will give you the hum of approval every time

maybe he's starting to see your point-

you're not always the one making him homemade food though

sometimes he comes to you to go on a cute little picnic date and has made you a special dish from denmark to share with you

will just listen to you talk while he eats and occasionally pitches in

don't challenge him too much though, because if you make a joke that your homemade food is better, you're in for it

can you have a shokugeki with 'peasant food'??

alice's words, not yours-

he's not very open with emotions but you can tell from the little smile he's suppressing that he feels loved when he eats homemade food

and it also lets him relax after classes and outside of trying to destroy soma

he gets to make cute and quaint dishes for you and not stress about the quality of the dish

n he gets to see that smile of yours :))

not that he'd ever admit that-

but like soma, he's hovering over you while you cook

probably snacking on the leftovers

── 𝐇𝐀𝐘𝐀𝐌𝐀 𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐑𝐀.

ask and you shall receive

he has probably never had a homemade meal before-

and homemade meals are now your love languages

also probably cried when you first made him something homemade

just a couple snivels and tears

that's also when he first fell in love but you won't catch him saying that to anyone else

makes you a lot of indian street food to connect more with his culture and introduce you if you're not already familiar

always makes you something if you feel upset or down

and it's always very urgent??

he's a very attentive lover

he hears you're upset and he's speed running a lil curry n naan for you and he's COMING OVER RIGHT NOW-

y'all always make lunch for each other because if you're not with each other, you feel the love you have for each other either way

and if you have lunch together, compliments (and kisses) to the chef

unlike the others, who snack on whatever is leftover while you cook for them

hayama feeds you your leftovers

gently feeding a lil carrot stick to you ;v;

he made his own spice blend that he thinks encapsulates you as a person and you definitely can't find that in stores-

people have asked him what the spice is called

n he just called it by your name

── 𝐍𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐑𝐈 𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐂𝐄.

she doesn't get it-

homemade food isn't as exquisite???

what are you on??

this is entirely because her parents are elitists and she never got HOMEmade food

got professional food only

and she doesn't know what homemade food actually tastes like

and that's kinda dumb tbh-

how does one survive without a lovingly made dish??

loving the cooking is different to making something BECAUSE you love them

so now it's your mission to convert her :))

it didn't take very long, you gave her breakfast in bed and she was sold

now she knows what love actually feels like and this is a pivotal moment

to be fair though

she can't really replicate homemade cooking for a while

because she never got taught and she can't get the strict training out of her system

how do you make molecular gastronomy homey??

it's fine, you'll just have to teach her

bonding time in the kitchen

she'll get the hang of it eventually, but for now she's fine with just having you cook loving meals for her

── 𝐓𝐒𝐔𝐊𝐀𝐒𝐀 𝐄𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐈.

somehow it's more nerve wracking making a homemade dish than a fancy one

because you like homemade things more ;v;

and he doesn't want to disappoint you

also probably doesn't know how to make a homemade meal-

are you sure you can't just treat him??

he's baby

he can't handle this shit :((

gladly takes homemade food from you though

but he wants cuddles while he eats your cooking

will also learn to make more homemade things and let go of the reins a little bit with PRESTIGE

probably also cried when he first tried your cooking

and this is lowkey what he wishes totsuki was

less stressful, more time with you, no more panic attacks-

the first time he ever gave you a homemade meal he was sweating bullets and shaking like crazy

but he got rewards, so now he does it all the time

kisses

"you could just ask for a kiss, you know."

"...'s so embarrassing..."

you now know a homemade meal means he wants kisses

Opinions/Thoughts on Sound of Music and Music Man specifically?

(asking because my fiance hasn't seen either and I am planning on forcing him to watch both with me. I grew up watching them yearly as a choir/theater kid)

I have not seen Music Man, but god, I love musicals, so I just might check it out now.

I have seen Sound of Music, though, and while I fully admit it's saccharine and mawkish and maudlin, I still like it.

It's just old-world charming. I know Christopher Plummer hated it, and for good reason, it was his generation's Frozen, but...I don't know. The music doth slap. Julie Andrews is a delight. I find the anti-Nazism in Austria plot to be compelling.

The only song I don't like is the Goatherd song, but mostly because the puppets scared me as a child, and the song is forever linked to my childhood trauma.

I also think that particular song is obnoxious, and I'll hear that fucking goat yodeling in my specifically tailored cell in hell.

But every other song is good!

Controversial opinion time, but...my favorite song from the whole movie is "Edelweiss."

I know most people don't like it, but...I think it's a real crooner. Let me croon Edelweiss all night.

I also like "Climb Every Mountain" which I know a lot of people hate, but. Come on, it builds!!

Maybe I just like crooning, I don't know. But all the songs are good. It's worth a watch, and I hope he enjoys it!

Vincent Price - Eve of St. Mark (1944)

[ashton-sano]

Missing Hoodie

TW: None; just pure fluff.

PSA: Specifically for Female readers but can be read with any gender/pronoun

(This is an imagine so you can think of whatever character you want when reading)

This is an old piece I made that I decided deserved to be published cuz it was decent.

Story Below the cut

The boy groans in aggravation as he rummages through the closet, tossing random clothes behind him and letting them pile onto the floor. “Where is it? I could have sworn it was here.” He gets up and scans the mess he made and sighs as he walks back into the living room, opting to clean it later as he was too upset. He plops onto the couch, allowing the beige cushion to swallow him up. 

Unfortunately he was still angry.

Currently, the room was dead quiet. Excluding the whirring of the ceiling fan and some outside noise, It took the male a while to realize something was off since the female of the house was nowhere to be found. Typically by now, she’d be attached to his lap and snuggling into him but currently, it felt like she disappeared. “Where did she go?” He spoke to himself knowing he wasn't getting an answer from the thin air. 

In all actuality, the girl was sitting in the guest bedroom snuggled into the pillows and caressed by the sheets. She smiled to herself, feeling the fabric cling to her loosely and the lavender scent intoxicating her nose. She knew he was probably looking for it but she couldn't care, she adored his scent hence why she was always clutching him in some way.

The female had been in there for over two hours, pushing three. 

He finally worked up the strength to get up and search for her, checking any room she enjoyed being in. Starting with the kitchen and working from there. “Huh, I guess she Doesn't spend all her time here.” He gives up right as he reaches the last possible room in the house she could be in, The guest bedroom. “If she isn't in here then I guess she went outside. I'm too annoyed to call her.” He twisted the knob and entered the room, seeing a cocoon of blankets surrounding a figure. “Should’ve known you were in here.”  

He walks closer and kneels by the bed, now noticing she is asleep as light snores leave her mouth. She turns to face him, still unconscious, and only then does he notice a familiar hem around her neck. He shifts the blankets a bit and sees that the hoodie he was looking for was right where he should’ve looked the first time; on his girlfriend. “You little thief. You had me thinking I lost it.” He strokes her head, admiring her sleeping form. “When you sleep, you look like some type of angel, you know that? I could probably never say this to you as you’d never let me live it down though.” He chuckles a bit at himself, remembering times when such an instance occurred. “You should’ve said something dummy.”-He flicks her head softly- “if I knew you liked my hoodies so much, I would’ve given you some. No need to steal.” He speaks as if she can actually hear him scolding her. “Stupid. How did I fall for such a stupid person?” He fixes the blanket on her and kisses her forehead, standing up and brushing the dust from his knees. “You are stupid. But you’re mine so I suppose it's fine.” He walks to the door, opening it and closing it as quietly as possible. “Now to fix up the room, you’ll probably scold me if I leave it a mess.” 

   He may tease her but he knows deep down if anyone hurt her, it’d be a problem. He just never told her since saying it isn't as easy for him, if it was he'd tell it to her while she had enough consciousness to hear him.

Everyday. 

Exactly how much he loved her.

(hope you enjoyed)

SYNOPSIS | what a man by the name of shiina niki could give you that the heavens could not

TAGS | blood mention, food mention, war/violence mention, deity!reader & human chef!niki

READER | gender neutral

For the record, being a deity wasn’t fun. You had much more than humans, but it was long past the point where it was too much. There was always a duty, a duty to fight for whatever side you were born in. At least the humans gave themselves the ability to choose for themselves about what they wanted to do. To fight, fight, fight, again and again. You had the powers, but what was its use if you didn’t want to use them? It was fatiguing, fighting for a purpose you didn’t even have to agree with. Oftentimes, nobody really agreed with it, except for the ones who’d ordered it.

Despite mortal misconception, you could get tired, your arms could hurt, your wounds would not heal. There were times that, you too, wished for rest, where your sense of self had long disappeared. Even if there were creations of your figure on the temples and shrines the people had created, they were barely you. They worshipped you in name, yet what they really held in high regard was what you stood for to them. Nothing more, nothing less.

However, occasionally, there were those who touched your heart. There were those who truly believed that it was not a symbol they regarded in such high respect, but a being, alive like them. 

Your first meeting with him was unintentional. It was surprisingly few years ago, one night. It wasn’t often that you went to the shrine dedicated to you. Despite it being for “you”, it was really for the use of the people, doing stuff in your name, giving “you” things, but you never really took them. After all, it would cause a huge fuss if you appeared to them. Big name deities did that regularly, and while they were showered with praise, one mistake could lead to their downfall. Taking a risk like that was too big. 

Yet, you’d never smelled food like that before. You’d never seen such an alluring meal offered to you. They often thought that, somehow, raw sacrifices would work, but who’d want to eat such a thing? You didn’t even ask for it, and they’re giving you something you have to cook yourself. Either give something thoughtful or give nothing at all. 

Perhaps it was because you’d just come from battle that you were hungry (the food up there wasn’t even good in the slightest, until you were able to afford a meal from one of the deities of cooking up there, whether it be cooking in general, baking, breads, cakes, barbequed meats, stews, and whoever else was up there. They didn’t even have to fight. All they had to do was cook, and everyone was happy. Heck, they even used their cooking as a currency, even though it was technically not allowed to create your own. 

Sometimes, it was so easy to wish that you were one of them, probably living a much better life- useful and in demand, all the time, loved by everyone, instead of being a simple pawn- like the one in chess, if you would.

But somehow, even when someone was kind enough to bring proper food for the offerings, it was never enough to pique your interest. Soups, meats, breads- all simple foods that were never worth the risk of showing yourself. Maybe, if you were discreet enough, you could, and, say, an animal stole it, what could they do, right? Plus, they just let it go bad too… if only they understood.

It was only when a young chef, his hair tied into a low ponytail resting on his shoulder, had entered “your kitchen”. It was more like his kitchen than yours, though. After all, he was the one in it, using it. You’d only ever used it once, and someone got blamed for it. It was hard not to feel bad. 

But in his case, he used it and used it and used it, and it was only then that you’d come out from your hiding spot, food laid out on the table. He introduced himself as nothing more than a “decent chef”. He said that he thought it’d make you happy to get some good food. He’d always noticed that they gave you things that nobody would eat. It was a bit of a game, you supposed. Although it was hard to expect anyone to find it and play- and he’d played it perfectly.

You laughed. That was the most consideration any mortal had ever given you in the hundreds of years you’d existed. It was funny, but largely adorable, the way he acted. He asked what was funny; the only answer that came to your mind was that he was just so cute. 

And so, he came back again and again, and you did too, every time you caught the aroma of the food he’d come to make for you. It was better than the luxury foods that the deities above made; perhaps that was because he’d made it for you, with such love. 

And so, even today, he greeted you with a “Evenin’~ do ya like what I have today?” and his signature smile. You laughed, and said yes, you do. Even with your bloody body, incurable wounds, unerasable memories of war and pain, at least there were moments like these- being with someone you love, in your own home, even if it really wasn’t made for you.
