#habit bakes vinnie cookies

[pagodazz]

it's 3 am sorry. so rant time

ppl act as if habit is abusing vinnie 24/7 and Is constantly torturing him AS IF VINNIES WHOLE ISSUE WITH HABIT IS THE FACT HABIT DOESN'T EVEN ABUSE HIM ENOUGH. He wants to be killed by habit but he KNOWS habit isn't gonna do it. he even pushes habit specifically to get a rise out of him. I saw hcs that made habit like physically cruel to Vinnie as he's getting with the reader and I was like???? not canon at ALL...

do people just ignore this part.. the whole "I'm not scared of you." and the fact habit is SOOOO GENUINELY BOTHERED BY THE FACT THAT VINNIE THINKS HE'S STALE. (LITERALLY RIGHT AFTER THIS VIDEO HABIT GOES "NEW YEAR NEW ME" like that is not a coincidence)

Vinnie and habit are supposed to be domestic, Vinnie is supposed to rely on habit for everything, he's supposed to think about habit when he thinks about comfort and safety bc that's what habit WANTS. Habit literally continuously tells Vinnie that he's protecting him and to never leave him. I mean it's literally to the point where Vinnie thought the world would LITERALLY COLLAPSE if he left habits side. like they have A FUCKED UP RELATIONSHIP ALREADY!!! there's no need to make habit do more shit he never did.... like we have this information right in front of our faces...

Like idk guys when you write x readers you WILL have to deal with the fact that habit and Vinnie have a weird codependency thing going on and habit literally does not want Vinnie going anywhere and only wants Vinnie with him. that demon you want has a very special pet human and you should show him some RESPECT

[incorrectslenderverse]

HABIT: So I can either bake these cookies at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or 4,000 degrees for 1 minute.

Vinnie: HABIT that’s NOT how you bake cookies

HABIT: FLOOR IT?

Vinnie: NO

HABIT: HOW ABOUT 4,000,000 DEGREES FOR 1 SECOND

Vinnie: HABIT YOU ARE GOING TO BURN THE HOUSE DOWN

HABIT: I’M GOING TO HARNESS THE SUN TO MAKE COOKIES

[fekst-fucker]

What do the emh dudes do with their s/o on Halloween?

I still gotta watch this show huh

Vinnie

- has to do all the grand Halloween stuff. Visit the scariest horror houses, get the biggest pumpkin from the patch, make the best fucking fall stew

- even if he’s terrified in that haunted house, he is Not Going Back

- he fares a little bit better at a Halloween movie marathon, except he doesn’t quite like slashers

- he brews a mean apple cider. Where did he learn to do that

Jeff

- goes through the motions of Halloween tbh. Pumpkin patch, apple picking, fall gumbo, Charlie Brown movie

- so you have to egg him into going off the path- let’s try and bake galettes this year! Let’s do mulled wine instead of cider!

- he’s NOT for it but he has to admit you getting excited for fall is cute

- this Halloween he’s very excited. You can’t go anywhere! You’re stuck inside! Perfect for strict traditions

Evan

- he LOVES pumpkin spice season. The downside is he has to make everything health food so all his fun pumpkin stuff ends up gross >:|

- this is also his annoying vegan season. He’s always going on about how good pumpkin and squash is for you

- at least he’s pretty good at cooking. And he makes the BEST damn roasted pumpkin seeds

- you are going to have to force feed him one of those pillsbury cookies as you guys watch movies

Honorable mention: Habit

- likes to scare the children

- and also intimidate the haunted house employees

25 Useful Ways to Save Money Everyday (Part 1)

This post contains affiliate links, which means that if you click on one of the product links, I’ll receive a commission or other benefit at no additional cost to you. Thank you for supporting The Daily Change Jar.

Saving money can be difficult, especially if you are already living paycheck to paycheck.

It is always helpful to find creative ways to save money. Trying to save money doesn't have to be stressful or unenjoyable, it can be fun and even a way to get the whole family involved. Check out the tips and tricks below on creative and fun ways to live frugally. 

1. Don't trash the leftovers

It has always baffled me when people eat out and they don’t take left overs. Um...hello, you paid for that! Take it with you! When I worked in restaurants it would drive me nuts how much food was wasted that people would just throw out. (Same goes for just about any place that deals with food). When I take leftovers home from a restaurant, you better believe they are gonna get eaten! Especially from Olive Garden-always good the second time around!

2. Up-cycle!

This is one of my favorites! I love to find old things and redo them up new again. People have made whole businesses out of this concept! When I “retire” I want to find old furniture and fix it up new, with a funky twist of course and resell it at flea markets. So don’t throw away those kitchen chairs because your kids scratched them or ripped the fabric, fix it up and make it nice again! Honestly this is a must in my household-if there is a way I can figure out how to reuse it or up-cycle it, I will!

3. Buy used office supplies

I love shiny new office supplies as much as the next mommypreneur, but let’s get real here. I don’t actually NEED them! (Plus I can always put them on my Christmas list-P.S. keep an eye out for some upcoming frugal gift guies!) My desk I got for free from my old work, which even though it’s not pretty, it’s big and does the job! I can’t tell you the last time I purchased NEW ink cartridges for my printer. I always go to Cartridge World and buy the reused ones-they are like half the price of a new one!

4. Round up your spare change!

My parents used to have this large wood box that they would throw change in, there was probably on average $100 in there! My husband and I keep a change jar in our bedroom and throw all of our spare change in there. It is mostly change from him, but it can really add up. I think last time I cashed it in, which was somewhere between 6-12 months of accumulated change, there was close to $55 in there! Cha-Ching!

5. Don’t buy new clothes

I am a thrift shopper through and through! When I was pregnant-the last two times-I only bought 1 new pair of jeans, everything else was from Goodwill or St. Vinny’s. When it comes to clothing for kids or things that I know I am not going to be wearing very long-I shop secondhand. I have found some pretty great stuff at thrift stores-like Under Armour shorts for my oldest for gymnastics, or practically brand new jeans for my son. The one thing that I LOVE about our Goodwill (and I’m pretty sure all Goodwills do this) is they get the clearance stuff from Target after it doesn’t sell. I have bought SO MANY dresses and Target brand things from Goodwill-and they were brand new! So don’t be snobby about your clothes, buy used!  Don’t be snobby about your clothes, buy used! You can find some pretty cool stuff! Click To Tweet *Plus, I have gotten so many compliments on things that I have bought and people are surprised when I tell them I purchased it thrifting!

6. Shop seasonal

This takes a little more advanced planning on your part, but it is worth it, trust me! When I say shop seasonal, I am referring to shopping AFTER the season is over. This works for just about everything-back to school, Halloween, Christmas-you name it. When it comes to school supplies, I save the list from the previous year and get as much stuff as I know they will need for the following year-it generally stays the same. For Halloween, purchase costumes for the next year when all the costumes are deeply discounted. We had costumes for our kids for a couple years in advance by doing this! This tactic can be used for bigger purchases like a new Christmas tree or smaller ones like greeting cards.

7. Don’t create more garbage!

It has become a pretty big trend now with reusable water bottles and the like. However, it is also frugal living at it’s best. I used to make “snack bags” for my kids each week so they could grab snacks on the go. Now when I make “snack bags” they are actually reusable containers. My absolute favorites are the Sistema brand, which you can order from Amazon here. *Bonus-they are also BPA free! They are a little more of an upfront cost, but in the long run you can save quite a bit over buying disposable bags. Same goes for school lunches-use reusable instead of disposable. Plus you will feel better knowing you are not contributing to landfills. You can also use reusable sandwich bags and lunch bags for lunches. My personal favorites is the BYO brand. They are super durable and can fit quite a bit of food. It’s also a good idea to purchase yourself a reusable water bottle rather than buying plastic ones all the time. The MIRA ones are great, especially for the kids, again durability it key here. I personally prefer glass ones, but my last two broke, so I gave up on that :-( Don’t forget about reusable utensils, Sistema is a good brand for this again.   

8. Ditch the paper products!

Take a look at everything in your house that is a paper product. Paper plates, paper towels, napkins, toilet paper. There is a lot and it can really add up! Although there is a large convenience factor to using these, they are costing you! Instead of using napkins and paper towels, use something that is reusable. I grabbed some Brillo sheets from the dollar store-there is like 8 in a pack, that I use for everything! Napkins, paper towels, dryer sheets, for the Swiffer vac (not toilet paper-flushing them will cost you more money, not save it!) Here is a post from My Merry Messy Life on how to transition your house to being paper free-including toilet paper :-)

9. Use reusable feminine care products

Ladies this one is specifically for you! Ok, so there are a few issues with using disposable pads and tampons, they are not great for the environment, or for you. There are actually a lot of different chemicals in pads and tampons-not cool! You can solve this by either investing in a reusable menstrual cup-which is not at weird as it sounds, or some cloths pads .  

10. Up-cycle mismatched dishes

Do you have dishes sitting around that don’t match a set-UPCYCLE them! Use them to give gifts to others or make some shnazzy yard art. Also, if you have a habit of leaving dining ware at parties, put those Christmas cookies on that mismatched plate, it looks a little nicer than using a paper plate (which you have already done away with).  

11. Cook once-eat multiple times

Try to plan your meals so you have left overs. This saves time and money. Really...how many times have you been running around all day and not had time a cook a meal between everything else you have going on? If you make enough and have left overs, this will prevent you from spending extra and having to eat out. Related post: The 6 Most Effective Ways to Meal Plan! 

12. Dry clean at home

Ok, so I try to avoid buying things that are dry clean only when purchasing clothes. However, there are those super cute pieces that I have found while thrifting that are dry clean only that I just could not pass up! So instead of taking them to the dry cleaner-besides, who has time for that anyways! I use the Woolite Dry Clean sheets-lifesaver!

13. Don’t toss butter wrappers

My oldest daughter loves to bake, me not so much, I normally just eat everything right away after I bake it :-/ However, I feel like she can be really wasteful when she bakes and there is flour, sugar, and butter all over the place. So I try to make sure that she is not being wasteful and have her scrape the butter wrappers and add any excess to the recipe or the actual container of butter. Same with the flour and sugar that winds up all over the counter. 

14. Save money at the movies

My husband has a really hard time with this as he is a huge comic book fan and every time a new comic book movie comes out he has to go see it!  I save him money by staying home with the little ones :-) Try checking out movies from the library or if you just HAVE to go see a new movie, check for days and times that have discounted prices.

15. Get the most out of everything you buy

My kids are terrible at not using the last of everything in jars, tubes, and other types of containers. I make sure that I scrape the last little bit out of everything and generally just add it to the next container-peanut butter is a big one. I purchased these little toothpaste tube squeezers so that they aren’t throwing away half a tube of toothpaste when they think it’s empty-true story.

16. Cancel unnecessary subscriptions

I’m sure if you really looked through your budget you could find a few subscriptions that you could cancel-magazines, newspapers, paid versions of things you can get free (with commercials), Netflix, Hulu. We personally canceled those along with our cable a long time ago. It was not worth the money when our kids were fine with just watching one of the 1000 movies we already owned. Related post: How to STOP living paycheck to paycheck without loosing your sanity!

17. Subscribe to freemium versions

To complement the previous point… Although I despise commercials on Pandora, I normally listen to it while on my computer-which has a mute button. There are other free versions of things like Amazon Prime-which I already pay for, Spotify, and YouTube! It’s not worth paying a couple extra bucks a month to go without commercials when I can just mute them and save some money.  So make yourself a playlist and start saving!

18. Get rid of cable!

Ok, so I already said I did this a long time ago, but seriously, do you really NEED cable services? If you do find that you still need some kind of TV service, (although I don’t even have these anymore, but we went from cable to these options and then eventually got rid of those) Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon offer just about anything you need when it comes to your television entertainment needs.

19. Get Amazon Prime

So I know this post is about SAVING money, but hear me out. There are a lot of reasons that I love Amazon Prime! I originally got it when I was going to college and needed to order books-they offer free 2-day shipping on college books. I use it now for the free shipping-I love me some books-the streaming video services, and when ordering the kids Christmas gifts online. Prime, although there is a small initial yearly investment, is well worth it!

20. Spend more time at the library

If you have kids especially, start going to the library more. My kids personally LOVE going to the library and checking out books and movies. Sometimes we can even get games and there are always free events going on. Like family Lego nights, STEM based events where they get to build things, and movie nights. For the adults, there are tons of resources. Books, audio books, videos, and I know at our library you can even rent certain equipment. Pretty awesome and FREE resources. Plus it’s always a nice, quiet place to go work when the hubby is home with the kids.

21. Ditch the brand name stuff

I have never really been one to stick to brand loyalty, I go with whatever is cheapest. I know people that spend 3 times what I do on laundry detergent because they like the smell of the certain brand. Yeah, I like my clothes to smell nice too, but I would prefer to just buy the cheap stuff or make my own and save a few bucks. I have ONE exception, I do buy Unstoppables once and awhile to wash our blankets, only because after our dogs lay on them I can’t get the smell out with anything other than some kind of laundry scent booster. But again, it doesn’t have to be a certain brand, I get whatever is on sale-as long as it will get the dog smell out of my blanket!    This goes for more than just laundry detergent though. Think about your food products, personal care items, and just about anything else you buy. Did you know that most of the time the brand name and generic stuff are made by the same companies, they just put different labels on them?  No joke! So save yourself a few bucks and buy the generic stuff, your friends and family will not think anything less of you for living frugally. You may even inspire them to follow in your footsteps :-) 

22. Be your own barista

It is a rare occasion that I actually purchase coffee from Starbucks or other coffee houses. It is crazy how much that stuff adds up! Think about it, if you purchased a Starbucks drink-hello Salted Caramel Mocha-which generally runs about $5.75 we’ll say with tax, and you get that 5 days a week on your way to work in the morning, that’s $28.75! Take that times 50 weeks in a year (assuming you aren’t getting on any other days of the week or on vacation) that’s $1,437.50! That could have gone towards paying off some debt or being put into your savings or emergency fund. I make my coffee at home with a cute little french press I bought for about $10 and buy ground coffee and creamer from the grocery store. I cost me approximately $10 for 2-4 weeks worth of coffee-depending on how much caffeine I am in need of. That is a HUGE savings!

24. Don’t buy emotionally

I’m sure this has happened to all of us. You get in a fight with your significant other, or your kids have been driving you nuts all day, or you just had a bad day at work. You pop into Target, buy that Salted Caramel Mocha and before you know it you walk out with a new pair of workout leggings that were too cute to pass up, a pair of new boots, cuz you found a pair that actually fit amazing, a new lamp for your bedroom that matches your bed set, a bottle or wine-cuz it was a bad day, treats for the dogs because they have actually been good lately, a pack of hair, skin, and nail vitamins in hopes that they will make your life better somehow, oh, and a pack of that new dessert gum in the checkout lane, you know so you can chew on that next time instead of bingeing on those cookies that your daughter made the other day. Well, crap, there went your grocery budget for next week.  Instead, if you need to de-stress, try something that is not going to ruin your budget you worked so hard to keep on track. Go to the library and check out an old romance novel or movie, take a bath, warm up some left overs and lock yourself in your bedroom for a while-without your phone, iPad, or computer to tempt you into shopping online-which can be even more dangerous.

24. Track your finances

So this is something I that talk more about in these posts: How to Permanently Stop Financial Stress, Even if You've Tried Everything! How to STOP Living Paycheck to Paycheck Without Losing Your Sanity! But it can seriously help to realize where your money is actually going! Just remember, you should control your money, it should not control you!

25. Avoid unhealthy and budget sucking vices

So this can be a difficult one, but save you a TON of money! These include things like cigarettes, alcohol, and in-app purchases. Cigarettes, tobacco chew and anything of the like-first off GROSS! Secondly, add up how much you actually spend on that stuff. If you absolutely need to do something, look into vaping. My husband switched to this a few years ago and saves a lot of money, plus he smells much better and isn’t slowly killing himself. Alcohol-now I love my wine as much as the next girl, but think practically here. Going out to drink at a bar , or having a few drinks when you go out to dinner, is fine once in a great while if you are celebrating with friends, but that adds up so quickly! If you are going to drink, try and find some good stuff on clearance or have a get together at the house and ask everyone to bring something to share. I have found on great deals on seasonal wine and alcohol especially in the clearance sections. In-app purchases. Ok, so if your kids play on your phone or can access anything that has an in-app purchase, make sure you have some kind of lock on there. This has happened to me twice-one my daughter was watching Peppa Pig and somehow was purchasing episodes rather than watching free ones because apparently we didn’t have a child lock on what she was using. Luckily I get notifications on my phone and stopped her after about $3 worth of episodes. Another time one of the kids was playing a game on my phone and bought coins for some game for like $10. Ahh! So make sure you are restricting access to that stuff and not spending yourself. I have heard of people blowing their entire rent payments on things like World of Warcraft! Don't be that person! There are TONS of ways to get creative with saving money. This list is by no means all inclusive. This is a list of 25, which is part of a series post that will add to to 100+ ways to get creative with saving money. So check back over the next week or so for updates and a free printable that easily outlines ALL of the ways to save money.

What are some creative ways that you have saved money lately?

thinking about habits dumbass maple bacon cookies. listen, I know people like those BUT THEY SOUND. GROSS. TO ME. anyways.

I need to know if habit baked these himself?? he says he made them so I'm gonna assume so. BUT THIS MAKES ME WONDER??#!!#!#?#(#(#

did he LOOK UP a recipe and then bake the cookies for Vinnie, OR did he already??#!@!# know how to make maple bacon cookies.... HOW OFTEN IS HE BAKING COOKIES??@!]¢ HOW OFTEN IS HE THE ONE MAKING FOOD FFOR VINNIE?.#!@!

Vinnie doesn't even question it so it makes me think that this can't be the first time.

Vinnie and habit have made burgers together before, (usually accompanied by playing video games together) So maybe that's why there's no surprise. BUT I'M JUST.

Man kinds bad habit bakes cookies for some loser he's keeping trapped and FOR WHAT

[pagodazz]

habit hcs when?

HABIT hcs RN!!!!!! :D

Like Vinnie I think HABIT is an avid music enjoyer, But unlike Vinnie, HABIT prefers to play his music out loud and he likes to play it LOUD.

I personally think he invested in (or stole) really good speakers so he would be able to really feel the music. Even if it shakes the house.

He definitely plays heavier music when he's drowning out the sounds of the screams of the people he's torturing, but I think when HABIT comes home after a long day of that or, just a long day of doing WHATEVER he does, he plays softer music.

yk like Frank Sinatra, The ink spots, Nina Simone, nat king cole AND STUFF LIKE THAT!!!!!!

it's something calming y'know.

EVEN AN ENTITY LIKE HABIT!!!! LIKES TO UNWIND GUYS!!!

he needs something to kick back to. Something to have in the background as he sharpens his knives, or cleans the blood off his boots.

(Songs he canonically likes + silly ones bc yeah. & ones I think he'd like/remind me of him)

------------

I think that HABIT really enjoys cooking. And I personally believe he's really good at it. like freakishly good at it.

Now, In canon we already know he's capable of cooking (Ex: Making burgers w Vinnie, Baking Vinnie cookies) But I think hes just Weirdly good at cooking.

Like I think he's probably made the best food Vinnies ever had, And I wouldn't even say HABIT would trick him with human meat or anything.

He wants Vinnie to stay on his side, he needs Vinnie to wanna stay so he's not gonna fuck w him like. (He probably kinda wants to tho.)

view it as almost like a Hannibal thing??? but WAYYYYY less fancy. HABIT is just NOT that kind of guy and I doubt him and Vinnie would even like to eat fancy meals.

He's just really talented at alot of things I think. But I like the idea of this HORRIFICALLY TERRIBLE VIOLENT ENTITY enjoying a nice homemade meal he made for him and his roommate that he's holding hostage.

---------------

I think one thing alot of people don't seem to remember about HABIT is that he likes to draw things out, he doesn't like to RUSH things.

He wants to draw out his victims suffering for as LONG as he can, that's the reason he even made a deal with slenderman at all. he wanted to keep his victims alive longer so they could feel and see everything that was happening to them.

I think HABIT is a very precise man, personally. I know a lot of people see him as almost sloppy, but I could NEVER. He may get BLOODY or MESSY but that doesn't mean he got SLOPPY. He knows exactly where to stab to paralyze a person but not kill them, and I KNOW he can list of the names of your bones as he breaks them.

I believe HABIT is a big perfectionist, and I know that has to be practically canon because how could it NOT be??? he needs absolutely EVERYTHING to go his way the WAY he wants it to. He feels a sense of pride knowing that NO ONE would be able to identify his victims once he's through with them. He gets a small feeling of pleasure at the power he feels when he sees the life disappear y'know?? why wouldn't he want that all to turn out PERFECTLY.

-------------

I think that HABIT has genuine interest in keeping Vinnie around personally, and wether it's just for his own selfish gain, the fact Vinnie is the collectives favorite part of the machine, or maybe Evans love for his friends just bled into HABIT after inhabiting him for so long.

But I think he (wether he even wants to admit or not) WANTS the company.

After Vinnie summons him, HABIT talks about needing friend's about about he doesn't have many companions other than slenderman and the rake. HABIT wanted someone he could have a functioning conversation with, (WHICH. IS THE SAME REASON VINNIE SUMMONED HIM. HABIT CAN TALK!!! SND GIVE ANSWERS!!) he also wanted someone to stay around and document him as well.

one of the parts that I think kinda shows that HABIT views Vinnie as a partner/companion/friend/a being HABIT can tolerate being around is from the video "Breaking the lease."

The fact HABIT seems genuinely very excited to show Vinnie that he not only 1. Got himself a camera (like Vinnie), but he was 2. able to turn it on by himself. (which previously is something he struggled to do. See in the video "Lexi".) is SO fascinating to me because RIGHT AFTER when Vinnie doesn't give him a positive reaction, making me assume that Vinnie typically praises HABIT for things like that, HABIT INSTANTLY is asking Vinnie what's up, and then he's trying to immediately trying to distract, or make Vinny feel better from whatever was upsetting him by offering to make burgers or play some video games.

Which, then Vinnie declines, and HABIT follows him and continues to try to make things better but he fails bc he's well, HABIT. And then he's very upset to find out Vinnie wants to leave and he seems literally almost hurt and betrayed LMAAOOO.

which he literally loses his shit every time Vinnie asks to leave and just had a break down both times ESPECIALLY in "sleeping dogs lie".

so there's at least smthn there that makes their relationship a little more different than anyone else HABIT interacts with. It's not healthy obviously but, you can clearly see he hasn't fucking eaten him.

--------------

I also like to think HABIT has a collection of human bones from his countless victims.

And in my head. HABIT only ever eats flesh and meat right off the body FRESH.

--------------

anyways YAYYYY so much shit that PROBABLY NO ONE WILL AGREE WITH BUT!!!; THERE WE GO!!
