#granola bars. poptarts.

i know its not healthy but i will simply continue to only eat easy premade meals that take like. less than 10 minutes of effort at most and 0 effort at least. and if there isnt anything that fits in that category? I will wait until i forget to feel hungry anymore. if there isnt food that's easy to eat i just wont eat anything. it's that simple.

[aster-is-confused]

lately my digestive system has been doing this cool and fun thing called "cramping for no reason"

What separates Twilight from the rest of the saga is that I know what Bella ate for almost every meal during the events of Twilight.

[queercatboyrights]

Yeah, but could a depressed person could make THIS??? (it's just a breakfast burrito made with leftover taco meat and scrambled eggs)

[starswallowingsea]

This cannot be healthy for me

Midnight Snacks with Redacted Characters

• For all the grief he gives Angel for it, David does keep a single pack of instant ramen on standby in a location he refuses to disclose. He’ll dress it up a bit with a soft boiled egg, some frozen veggies, tofu, leftover meat, whatever he can find.

• Asher isn’t much of a cook, but if Baaabe is hungry in the middle of the night he loves to make some Nutella on toast.

• Milo doesn’t like waking up in the middle of the night as he’s super groggy, but if he and Sweetheart are hungry he’ll throw together some yogurt, berries, and granola before flopping back down.

• Vincent and Lovely don’t need sleep or human food anymore, but occasionally they both get a hankering for a midnight McDonald’s run. They always get it to go and eat outside.

• Sam constantly has to deal with Darlin’ rummaging through the pantry in the middle of the night like a damn raccoon. He won’t let them gorge themselves on chips, instead making them a packet of instant oatmeal before dragging their nocturnal ass back to bed.

• Gavin will never say no to a late-night 7/11 run, though in the interest of keeping Freelancer alive during the day, he’ll rift there himself and come back with whatever snacks they want (provided they’re not too caffeine/sugar laced).

• Avior loves cuddling Starlight throughout the night, content to stay awake and watch them sleep. If they wake up hungry, he’ll magic up some scrambled eggs on toast before cuddling them back down and using just the tiniest bit of dreamwalking magic to help them get back to sleep.

• Lasko tries to make sure he’s not hungry before bed but if he or his partner wake up hungry he’ll make a big mug of hot chocolate (or chocolate milk).

• Hux has a seemingly bottomless supply of granola bars that he keeps for snacks. He keeps a box in his nightstand as well, “Just in case.”

• Damien has a horrific habit of making a protein shake if he’s hungry in the middle of the night. Hux is trying to help him break it.

• Ollie has an undying love for leftover midnight pizza. He swears up and down midnight pizza hits different in a Michelin star way; Babe is convinced it’s the sleep deprived delirium talking.

• Aaron hates getting woken up by Smartass in the middle of the night so they go ninja-mode lifting themselves off his chest. They’ll usually just munch on some dry cereal right out the box before heading back to bed. Aaron secretly does the same thing and has yet to be caught drinking milk straight from the carton.

• Ivan likes having chai and cookies if he and Baby are hungry in the middle of the night. He’s a firm believer that warm drinks and cuddles make a happy, sleepy Baby.

• Elliott is that bitch who makes an entire box poptarts at 1AM. He’s not sorry and he is sharing.

• James likes to have apples and peanut butter for a late night snack. He tries not to eat anything too heavy that’ll slow him down in the morning.

• Anton loves some warm pumpkin soup for a midnight snack. It’s always homemade and he always keeps a little on standby just in case his partner needs it.

• Guy will gorge himself on candy in the middle of the night. Honey keeps finding his stashes but Guy just keeps finding new places to hide his Sour Patch Kids. Honey’d check for secret compartments in the drawers if they thought Guy had the handyman-ness for it.

We went blueberry picking yesterday, so I've got an abundance of berries to use up! I don't love to eat them raw (texture problems, alas) but MAN do I love a blueberry treat. I'm thinking syrup first for lemonades, ice cream, and various treats. Then maybe drying some for trail mix and homemade granola bars. Oooo I could turn them into jelly and figure out how to make poptarts...

There are some students on campus I lovingly refer to as 'my latchkey kids' because they never leave for break. They hang out in the tech room and keep themselves entertained just down the hall.

I make sure to keep the fridge and snack dish stocked, because the caf is closed so they can't use their meal plans.

One of them told me he was psyched to see granola bars in the dish because he was always hungry (and broke!). So, the next day I brought in more, plus beef jerky sticks, poptarts, and mini bags of chips. I had to upgrade the size of my container.

The way he whooped and yelled down the hall to his brother that there were new snacks was so cute.

I think I'm gonna start a little third floor food pantry for them.

[nevertheless-moving]

cleaning out my cupboard because mice got in and i find myself just as annoyed over the stuff that they didn’t eat as the stuff they did. what my trader joes pumpkin walks into a bar bars are tasty enough to eat the wrapper but you don’t like chewy chocolate chip granola bars? frickin new age mom mice. My POPTARTS aren’t good enough for you?? you don’t like poptarts, what you think you’re better than me??? you’re not better than me.

[timetravelerpyrite]

🔺what "trans wrongs" have you committed? Except only say crimes that are silly instead of upsetting (ex. Leaving empty containers in the fridge or pantry)

Confess your most harmless sins

Ugh you could have just asked this like a normal fucking person.

Ughhhh

I. Stole shit? I guess?

Stole food specifically, like, granola bars and poptarts and other small shit.

By accident.

Because I would put them in my pocket and forget.

8/10 because you used the DAMNED TRIANGLE.

[shokuto]

What if Miles just started carrying food in his pockets—like granola bars, honey buns, vanilla wafers, and no one can ever figure out how he keeps them on his person without anyone noticing until he’s offering them a poptart

[shouldntbeaskingmyselfwhy]

there is no food in my apartment and i'm so sick of eating out so until i can grocery shop later i'm having a lunch of champions: one smashed poptart, a granola bar, and a handful of raisins

[jerma85]

this is "controversial" on here but i think poor people should be allowed to eat more than rice and beans and bread. i think ppl with dono posts needing groceries should be allowed to get a snack if they want to. when i was a kid with struggling parents who would often scrape change and skip meals just to feed us, i made an amazon wishlist and posted it online, and this was way before food delivery was a thing, so a lot of it was like bulk packages of things like poptarts, those fruit granola bars, instant dinners etc. and i had put some like snacky things like little debbies on it just for a treat. and i got fucking anon hate for it. i got death threats because i was 14 and wanted a brownie, because i guess poor people aren't allowed to have anything other than a microwaved meal. that was 11 years ago and i still see people on here claim that poor people can't be struggling "that bad" for buying themselves an ice cream cone. tumblr has rotted out the mass in your skull where your brain used to be.

for / @despetitsecrits participants / ingrid & your choice of muse! story / it's a few months after the outbreak, and ingrid has been mostly surviving on her own. your muse stumbles upon her one day and she tries to seem like a tough bitch, but her façade is rather weak and unconvincing. setting / an abandoned pharmacy in a small town in rural new york!

ingrid still couldn’t believe this was her life. gone were the days of running around the manhattan law firm she worked at for the last five years, trying to impress partners that never seemed to remember her name and always looked through her instead of at her. at the time, she supposed it was understandable—her coworkers were usually from blue blooded families that all attended the same ivy league university for generations, while she had much more humble beginnings—but now months on the other side of society’s collapse, it made her retroactively angry. it made her angry for the woman that she had been, so small in actuality when she felt so gigantic back then. she, little ingrid sergeant from wyoming, working in a big city law firm and rubbing elbows with the elite! her high school classmates must have felt so jealous, knowing ingrid left their one-horse town for the bright lights of new york and made real money now. sure, she was unmarried without kids and barely had time to brush her hair, but she had made it. yes, she swallowed the disrespect from the partners and the uninterested stares of her coworkers, but she had reached her goals. she was a lawyer. she had made it out of wyoming. she had won.

it was all bullshit in the end. rather, none of it mattered in the end. people all died in the same way now: in pain, bloodied, far too soon. the end blindsided everyone, arriving unceremoniously and without ingrid even knowing until it was too late. one morning, she was getting off the subway to go to work, and by that evening, the world had ended. ingrid had been lucky to make it out of new york city alive. now, she traversed western new york by herself, because anyone she came across post-outbreak either died or left her for dead. it was harder to survive by herself, but perhaps for the best. the worst part was that she was aimless. her whole adult life existed in the borough of manhattan, but she didn’t have many friends and she hadn’t been close to her family in years. the only place she could think to go was her mother’s home back in cheyenne, but that was almost two thousand miles away; a lot of dead, a lot of danger, laid in between. that plan all hinged on the assumption that her mother was even still alive, which as much as it pained her, ingrid didn’t think was likely. if she barely survived, how the fuck would cassandra sergeant fair? no, there was little hope of finding anything worthwhile in wyoming, so ingrid just… wandered. in search of a purpose. in search of a reason to continue on.

that search brought her to a small town that she didn’t recognize the name of, because the only part of the state of new york that had mattered to her had been manhattan. it had been scarce of people and undead since she arrived a few days prior, and she had made herself a temporary home out of a dentist’s office—it was secluded, had an appropriate amount of exits, and had some medical supplies that would benefit her in the long run. it didn’t have everything, though, and ingrid found herself in need of food and water. that led her to a nearby pharmacy that hadn’t been entirely picked clean. fifteen minutes into stuffing her backpack full of granola bars and poptarts, she suddenly became aware of another’s presence. she froze, hand hovering above the shelf in front of her. from the fact that they hadn’t immediately lunged for her, she had to hope they weren’t undead. she gulped dryly, eyes turning towards them slowly. her voice dropped several decibels in an effort to seem intimidating. to seem stronger than she was. “g… get back. this is my aisle.” her other hand moved down to her belt for the hunting knife she found at the start of the outbreak. it had become her security blanket, though she had yet to use it against another human. “i—i just want these, then i’ll leave. so, uh, stay the f-fuck back.”
