note synopsis was actually more of a prompt but err i hope you guys enjoy anyway >< also im writing this half asleep so im sorry if there are any mistakes !! everybody thank peng cause without her this wouldn’t even be here rn

LEE HEESEUNG

“why don’t you warm me up?”

heeseung never liked winter. he hated the coldness and the gloom that came with it. ever since he was young, he’d stay cooped up in his room refusing to go out and play with the snow.

even as an adult, heeseung would be more silent during the season, chattering his teeth even though he wore about a dozen coats.

well that was until he knew you. you were the complete opposite. you loved the coldness and the festive feeling of winter. finding the beauty in the falling snowflakes.

ever since heeseung started dating you, your love for winter created a small fondness in him. he loves it when he gets to see your pretty smile and your nose red-tinted from the cold.

he loves it most when you both would take the train back after a day out and you would fall asleep on his shoulder, hands tucked on his to keep yourself warm.

PARK JONGSEONG

jay had never really been picky with anything. having being the cook back at home and even now cooking for you made him accustom to people’s likes.

one thing, however, that never had he enjoyed was caffeine. he hated the bitter aftertaste of it. the smell that always lingers.

but when you once bought him an americano back when you both were still friends, he downed the whole thing. making you laugh, he liked hearing your laugh, it was addicting. he saw how you were savoring the taste after every sip. thinking that if you liked it, it shouldn’t be that bad.

and now, every morning before you woke up, he’d add coffee-brewing to his routine. making both of you coffee before heading for work. but really, he just loved seeing you hum in delight after a sip, a small smile on your lips.

“you’re so good at this, babe” you say, complimenting his brewing skill.

“why don’t you give me a kiss for it then”

SIM JAEYUN

you loved musicals. from hamilton to phantom of the opera, you’ve always loved watching them if they played in theaters near you.

jake, however, would rather spend his time playing soccer or watching a movie at the comfort of his home. he didn’t find musicals interesting, refusing whenever his friends offered to go watch one together.

however, when you offered, he found himself sitting near front seats in a large theatre. completely invested in the story line. he took down internal notes in his head knowing you’d start talking about it the moment you both walked out the theatre, just so he could give his own perspective in case you asked.

he would listen to you talk all day if it meant having to watch musicals often. asking you to repeat things to see your smile grow. his eyes linger on you, observing the pretty smile you have and the excited glint in your eyes as you talked away.

“wait, can you explain again about what happened to her in the end?”

PARK SUNGHOON

possibly the biggest hater of mint chocolate chip ice cream, sunghoon would not get near it. if he had a choice, he’d rather choose something more simple like vanilla.

but all in all, sunghoon never really liked ice cream. he doesn’t understand the enjoyment people get whenever they’d crave it.

apparently all it took for him to finally try the flavor he most despised was for you to (barely) beg him to hang out with you. he was too flustered when you asked him what flavor he wanted and when you asked if he wanted the same order as you did, he just nodded. barely registering what you said.

he unfortunately did not realize this until he scooped up a spoonful of the ice cream and tasted the familiar, yet, unfavorable taste. however, after much thought and probably the sweet smile you were giving him, he concluded that it didn’t taste as bad as he thought it would.

after dating, sunghoon would often pick up ice cream for you two after a long week, eating it together while huddled up watching a movie in your living room.

the taste of it was always there, but he understood why you adored the flavor. it growing on him more than he’d expected, especially when you’re the one he’s eating it with.

KIM SUNOO

being alone creeps him out. he gets terrified if he was ever left home alone. that’s one of the reasons why he loved going out.

he finds it comforting being surrounded by people, chatting along with anyone and everyone, catching up with them.

before you were in his life, he felt like being alone further makes him feel unwanted. busying himself with anything if, in a case, he were to be left alone.

when you did come into his life, though, it was like you rearranged the meaning of being alone. you love the peace and quiet of being alone. the silence that seems to fill the room letting you breath for a moment.

technically, he still didn’t really like being alone. sometimes, he’d call you to his apartment to ‘be alone’ with you. none of you speaking any words to each other, just laying down and listening to each other’s breathing. so many words unsaid but the feelings able to be conveyed through gestures.

you’d taught him how to enjoy the quietness. he finds that when he’s alone he felt more calm and centered. still, as a person who loves talking, he would always prefer being with people.

but, you redefined the meaning of being alone and he loves you for it. he loves the way you look happy and at peace all the time, he loves it when you both be alone together.

YANG JUNGWON

“babe, can you get my socks pretty please?”

as a person who gets cold easily, you love bundling yourself up before sleeping. your necessities were your 2 blankets, a pillow for your side and socks.

jungwon always found it iffy to wear socks in bed. even if he were to buy new ones to wear only in his house, he still wouldn’t like the feeling of it.

that was until he was introduced to you by a mutual friend. when you two started talking, he found your many quirks adorable.

however, one that he only found out when you started dating, was that you loved wearing socks to sleep. his horror back then showed on his face when you asked him if he were okay.

overtime, you gradually convinced him. especially if it was winter and the coldness would go up by twice the usual weather. being used to your routine, he didn’t even realize he started wearing socks to bed until you pointed it out when he was sleeping over.

the realization he had was baffling, but as he accustomed to it he didn’t find it weird at all. he would start buying you both matching socks when he was out and was thinking of you.

NISHIMURA RIKI

“let’s get back to bed, love”

everyone knows riki is not a morning person. he hated waking up early more than anyone. it’s not weird to find him coming out of his room at 1 pm.

by 1pm, you’ve probably already went to a cafe, had breakfast, catches up with a friend, and had a 2-hour lecture.

when you got involved with riki, you tried your hardest to wake him up early. his friends had told you to give up many times saying they’ve tried over and over again.

but miraculously, on your 7th try, he woke up. although, grumbling, he started sitting up and asking what you were doing at his dorms.

the first time you tried you were just there to drop off some food to your big brother. but when you knocked and no one answered, you were about to leave. until one of his dorm mates opened the door to let you in.

they were all stood crowded in front of his room, shouting at him to wake up, but he never moved. still sound asleep after a whole debate session ensued in the dorms.

after your brother and his friends collectively decide to leave him alone instead of trying to wake him up, you put it upon yourself to try as well. little did you know, he’d heard all your wake up calls, just too afraid to face you, seeing his bedhead and all.

7th times the charm however, when he finally braved himself to wake up and reply to you, although his heart pounding abnormally when you smiled at him.

when you two started dating, he couldn’t not wake up before you. much more aware of his surroundings when he’s around you.

riki however is riki. if he were to wake up earlier, then you would also have to wake up later sometimes because of him. deciding to stay in for a bit longer when he asks to, surrounded by his warmth.

not so different

for @steddieholidaydrabbles prompt ‘graduation’

rated t | 994 words | cw: mention of past character death, mention of alcohol, language | tags: childhood friends, friends to lovers, hurt/comfort, good uncle Wayne Munson

🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦

Steve Harrington didn’t cry, not even when he fell off the slide at the playground and his knee bled for 15 minutes and his nanny had to call his mom.

But this was a special instance where he was allowed to be sad. His nanny even said so. He watched all the kids in his kindergarten class taking pictures with their moms and dads, uncles and aunts, grandpas and grandmas, and wondered why he didn’t have anyone here for him.

He found an empty classroom in the big kid hall as soon as the ceremony was done, sat behind the teacher’s desk, and cried into his knees.

“Did your daddy not show up either?” A voice asked from in front of him.

He lifted his head, vision blurry and face wet, to see Eddie.

Eddie had already done kindergarten once, but he had trouble with his phonics, so they kept him behind. He was the first kid to talk to Steve in class, but within a few days, Tommy and Carol and Heather had scared him away from Steve entirely.

“Um, no.”

“What about your mama?”

“She’s with my dad.”

“My mama is with God. Or that’s what a lot of people say. I dunno if she was friends with him or not, though. I think she just got buried in the ground and people are scared to tell me,” Eddie was sitting next to Steve now, his leg knocking against Steve’s.

Eddie didn’t sit still very well, and the teacher always said he had ants in his pants. Steve hoped he didn’t have them in there now; he didn’t want any ants on him.

“Where’s your dad?”

“He’s probably getting ‘rested again. He showed up being silly and my Uncle Wayne had to take him outside,” Eddie shrugged.

“Is he tired?” Steve asked, sniffling and leaning more against Eddie.

“No. Uncle Wayne says sometimes he has too much of the drinks in the bottles I’m not allowed to touch and it makes him act like he don’t got a brain,” Eddie didn’t sound that sad, but Steve still wanted to hug him. “So your daddy isn’t here?”

“No. I think he forgot.”

“Sorry he forgot. My Uncle Wayne never forgets. He even came to the lunch room for my birthday. He brought me a piece of pizza!” Eddie always sounded more excited than anyone else. Most of the kids in the class thought it was stupid, but Steve kind of liked the way his eyes got wide and his smile got so big it took up most of his face. “Maybe he can bring you a piece for your birthday next year.”

“He doesn’t even know me.”

“You can come meet him!”

The classroom door opened just as Eddie started to stand and reach for Steve’s hands to pull him up.

“There ya are, Ed! Been lookin’ everywhere. You want some ice cream?” An older man stood by the door, button up plaid shirt only half-tucked into his jeans.

“Can we bring Steve? He’s my friend.”

Steve’s head turned, shocked that Eddie would say that.

“We gotta ask his parents first, Ed.”

“His parents didn’t come.”

“Oh.” The man looked Steve up and down before seemingly settling on something. He gave a small smile and gestured for him to come closer. “What’s your favorite flavor, then?”

“I dunno. Never had anything except vanilla,” Steve admitted, afraid to look at the man who had to be Eddie’s Uncle Wayne.

“Well, that just won’t do, will it? Let’s go try every flavor at the diner. Benny just added a few new ones. Think there’s even a bubblegum one.”

Eddie clapped his hands and dragged Steve out the door by his arm.

“I bet you’ll like mint chip,” he said as Wayne followed behind them, fond smile on his face.

🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦🍦

Steve Harrington had only cried a few times in his life, but this was the second time it was happening in front of Eddie.

Eddie wasn’t conscious this time, though.

“If you wake up, I’ll take you to the diner and we can have ice cream. They’ve got a new raspberry white chocolate flavor that you’d like. I could use some mint chip right now,” Steve said around the tears.

Wayne had left the hospital an hour ago to freshen up and grab one of his crossword puzzle books. Steve had been crying for most of that hour, holding Eddie’s hand and quietly begging him to wake up.

Two days without hearing his voice or watching his smile light up the room was too long, especially after having it for the last 13 years.

“How’re you gonna walk at graduation if you’re still asleep here, huh?” Steve closed his eyes and wiped at his cheeks.

“You can walk with me.”

Steve’s head shot up at Eddie’s quiet, but surprisingly strong voice.

“Eddie!”

“Hey, Stevie. Heard you’re takin’ me for ice cream,” Eddie’s smile was crooked, the bandage on his cheek covering one of his dimples.

It didn’t matter. Nothing mattered except for Eddie being awake, being alive, being okay.

“Yeah, Eds. Every day if you want,” Steve wanted to crawl into the bed with him, hold him close and feel him breathing and listen to his heartbeat, be sure he was there.

“Gonna hold you to that.”

“Soon as you can leave, that’ll be our first stop. Promise.”

Eddie closed his eyes, but the smile remained on his face. “You slept?”

“A bit.”

“So no.”

Steve rolled his eyes. “A bit.”

“C’mere.”

“Honey, you’re hurt-“

“Come here.”

Steve got in bed slowly, making sure he kept space between himself and Eddie’s injuries.

“Think I’ll graduate?”

Steve snorted. “They’d be stupid to hold you back after you saved everyone.”

“Yeah. ‘M a hero. Fuck Hawkins High.”

Steve could feel more tears trickle down his cheeks, but these were different.

These were relieved tears, happy tears.

“Yeah, honey. Fuck them.”

“Love you, though.”

“Love you so much.”

The Sun and the Moon

Part zero: Introduction (four screenshots and drabble)

Characters are in college!!!!!

Megumi Fushiguro was not known to be the most patient person in the world. Growing irritated with those who took up too much of the allotted time he allowed for. This would apply to basically everything— getting ready for the day, deciding on what to order at restaurants, perusing the grocery store when only going in for one item— and the list goes on and on. His patience was limited, growing thinner and thinner as the days passed. Megumi was also not known to be the sweetest man in the world, no no no. Quite the opposite really. Snapping at those who interrupted him, growing angry with people who got off task, and frustrated when no one could pay attention for more than 5 minutes.

That applied to everyone. Everyone he’s ever interacted with his whole life. Everyone who has looked his way.

Everyone except y/n.

It baffled his friends. Seriously throwing them through a loop that the man who yelled at them for speaking over him, was now allowing this petite girl to interrupt him to say the clouds look pretty.

“They do, baby” he would smile, turning his full attention to his girlfriend, taking in her beauty as she looked towards the sky.

Huffs and sighs coming from his friends, eyerolls and arms crossing as Megumi allowed his girlfriend to point out little shapes she saw in the puffy white clouds.. instead of continuing to discuss the plan for the mission they were going on in a few days. When his attention eventually returns to where it should have been, his hands always find their way to the girl who is sitting as patiently as she can. Holding her hand in his, calloused thumb brushing over the pretty promise ring he purchased a few months ago. Or one hand on the back of her neck, fingertips massaging her skin, running his fingers through her soft vanilla scented hair.

It wasn’t always like this. It took time. It took time to realize she was always going to be 20 minutes late no matter how early she started getting ready because— “I couldn’t decide between this pink skirt or the other one” or “I couldn’t find my wedges so I had to change my whole outfit to match these ones” and Megumis favorite “I lost my cherry lip gloss that you love so much so I had to find it, doesn’t it taste good?”

So he learned to be patient with her. Only because y/n is hands down the most beautiful girl he’s ever laid eyes on. AND, she always gave him road head when they are running late to make it up to him.

Oh and he’s so fucking in love with her it’s stupid.

So fucking in love with the vanilla scented girl.

Sweet and syrupy. Sticky and warm. Like sugar cookies and waiting for Santa to come down the chimney.

Giving Megumi a taste at the childhood y/n insists he should have had.

At first Megumi couldn’t wrap his head around the fact that y/n was definitely not all there—In a constant state of carefree living. At first, he truly wondered if she was dropped on her head a few times—only because the shit that came from her mouth were absurd most of the time.

“Do you think if I pet raccoon I could train him to dance?”

“I really wish I could see an alien and ask it if they like ice cream— oh my god what if they don’t even have ice cream? Should I buy some just in case they visit me tonight?”

“Do you think your puppies can smell when I’m sad?”

And that list goes on and on and on. Mostly consisting of questions Megumi has now learned how to answer. Even if the answers don’t make sense.

"I'm pretty sure he could learn to dance, sweet girl."

"What flavor do you think they would like, baby?"

"I think they can sense your emotions, pretty girl"

When I say it took time for Megumi to really understand y/n, I mean it took TIME. But, after finding out the girl has severe adhd, it all made sense. Now he can sit back and enjoy that funny things she does.

As well as relishing in the comfort she gives him. It's like no other. How understanding she is, how she cares for him, how she takes care of him in ways he cannot comprehend. No one has ever taken the time to understand him, to REALLY understand him. Growing fiercely protective of his baby, keeping her safe from those who wish to tear her down in any way they could.

"you're not stupid, pretty girl. they are just jealous of how beautiful you are"

Now... that's always a touchy topic for y/n. Sure, the girl may be a bit ditzy and unaware-- but, why would she need to have a brain when Megumi could do all the thinking for her? A word Megumi heard a lot was 'bimbo', a word he had to look up after some frat guy called y/n that. And... while that might be correct, Megumi didn't see anything wrong with that. Well, the only issue he had was that every person who saw y/n sexualized her. Other than that, he had no issue with how naive and attractive she is. Always making sure to grab a handful of her tits whenever any male looked at her chest a little too long. Earning a giggle and a-- "Gumi, that tickles!"

God she was so innocent. And soooo in love with her boyfriend of 1 year.

There was something about the way she looked at him. A twinkle in her eye or something. It started from when she first made eye contact with him, as if the word stopped and he was all that mattered.

As if he's the one who drags the stars out of the dark every night.

As if he is the reason the moon shines so bright in the dead of night.

Or maybe Megumi was the moon to her. Illuminating the dark to guide her home, keeping her safe from what lurks in the shadows.

Like the way the moon influences the tides with its gravitational pull, Megumi pulled her in whatever direction was best for her. And no matter what, with Megumi by her side, she knew there would always be another bight night.

Another night to sleep safely.

Another night to hear the owl's hoot.

Another night to stay up late talking to the love of her life.

Just another night to be with him.

His little innocent girl— well mostly innocent. The things he’s done to her would surly send them both to hell.

But!! We can discuss that later.

Anyway, there isn’t one thing Megumi wouldn’t do for y/n. He would go to the ends of the earth just to see that pretty smile. While he remained standing with a cool and calm exterior, his body vibrates when he sees his girl. His chest on fire when he sees her smile. Oh god, and don’t get him started on her laugh. When he dies, he hopes that’s the last thing he hears.

It’s like on a semi cloudy day, the way the sun peaks out from behind the clouds, shining rays bursting through to create the most elegant shadows. Or when the sun shines down on painted glass, a mosaic of colors dancing on the sidewalk.

Maybe she’s just the sun.. maybe y/n is Megumis' sun. The thing that keeps him warm, the thing he needs every single day to survive, the light in his dark heart, reminding him that there will always be another day.

Another day to see the sun.

Another day to hear bird chirping.

Another day to be see the love of his life.

Another day to kiss her.

Another day to hold her.

Just another day with y/n.

[iamnmbr3]

If I may jump onto your recent ice cream question, what do you think these following characters’ ice cream orders are?

Lily, James, Sirius, Regulus, all of the Weasleys (or just the twins, Percy, and Ginny if that’s too much), Dumbledore, Narcissa and Lucius… and Voldemort? (or Tom Riddle if you think they might be different)

(Followup to this).

Lily: Strawberry-and-peanut-butter because I like the idea of this being another secret similarity between her and Harry that neither of them ever got to find out about.

James: Ice cream is for losers who don't have more fun entertainments like sadistically tormenting their classmates to amuse themselves with. Why bother getting ice cream when he can feast on Severus's tears instead? But if no classmates are available to victimize he'll settle for chocolate and raspberry with chopped nuts (which seems strangely fitting for him and also makes the ice cream Hagrid buys Harry in book 1 a secret callback).

Sirius: He goes for firewhiskey & raisin when he's a child because it seems daring and kind of adult but discovers he genuinely likes it...and then it becomes a habit and he still likes it as an adult (for the little time that he actually gets to be an adult before getting chucked in prison). More often than not though he just ends up getting the same as James so he can share it with him when James inevitably wants to try some despite already having his own.

Regulus: Plain vanilla - but only a fancy expensive brand that probably nobody who isn't monied and pureblood has ever even heard of so it's not boring Sirius shut up.

Fred: Pistachio.

George: Chocolate. Sometimes after the war Mrs. Weasley forgets and gives him pistachio though and it hurts too much to say anything about it.

Percy: For a lot of years he pretends it's coconut because he thinks that sounds refined and unusual (and also probably bc he saw mr. Crouch eat some once at an event) but actually it's chocolate.

Voldemort: extra dark chocolate as dark as his soul. jk. Pretty sure post cauldron body Voldemort doesn't eat...or probably really have taste buds so he's gonna pass. And all the flavors taste the same to him anyway. A small price to pay for immortality.

Tom Riddle: Black pepper ice cream the one time he had it over Christmas at Hogwarts. But really when it comes to food he's not picky. Just having anything to eat at all is a luxury - doubly so if it's good quality food and not plain gruel or something that used to be halfway decent but has since gone moldy. Given his experiences with famine he's very much of the 'food is fuel' mindset and if he could do something to ensure he needed to eat again (and thus never needed to fear going hungry) he would do it in a heartbreak. But still, he must admit that black pepper ice was surprisingly nice. Alphard's probably the only one who notices tho.

Ginny: Also black pepper ice cream. She's pretty sure it used to be chocolate before second year but she doesn't really want to think about the implications of that so she convinces herself either she misremembers or her tastes just changed. It doesn't really matter either way though, as she usually just orders strawberry and peanut butter since she knows that's Harry's favorite and she wants them to have tastes in common.

Narcissa: Dark chocolate.

Lucius: He doesn't actually have a sweet tooth but if you asked him he'd pick dark chocolate because Narcissa probably knows what she's talking about.

Dumbledore: Waitrose duchy organic lemon curd ice cream. Some find this quirky and entertaining while others are horrified or just plain confused. He finds all the reactions equally entertaining. Also he absolutely shows up to buy it in full wizard garb.

I’d actually like to hear your thoughts on that Unknown birthday cg

I actually love the composition of this artwork. It'd be wrong to share it without sharing the other half to it, though. Saeyoung and Saeran are a package deal. But, as it stands, these images stand in contrast to each other for a reason. Saeyoung's at a party that his friends put together for him, and Unknown's at a party Rika made for him. There are undeniable facts about these images.

Unknown's staring into a mirror, his eyes in a trance as he watches his reflection, and to me, it's always read like a dissociative episode. He's spaced out for a reason. He was trained to hate his face because it was his brother's face. He avoids looking into mirrors for a reason... and yet, on his birthday of all days, he's staring into a large mirror at his reflection.

A reflection that's known to spark feelings of contempt, sickness, and anger in his heart.

Why?

Why is looking into a mirror when mirrors are known to make him feel sick? Unknown wouldn't choose to do that on the day that sets him off. He wouldn't! I think, one could argue that maybe he would if he thought it might remind him of why he's upset to begin with. But, he doesn't purposefully go out of his way to trigger himself throughout the game, if it happens, it's far from happening on purpose.

Which is what led me to believe Rika hung the mirror from the wall OR choose that spot purposefully—to hurt Unknown. That much I can say for certain.

Even on his birthday, he's not ALLOWED to forget what she's trained for. He's not allowed to be happy. He's only allowed to think about the brother who STOLE EVERYTHING from him while he rots away with nothing to his name in the walls of a Paradise that will never a sincere Paradise. He has to think about the brother who MADE HIM feel bad. He can't escape it. Rika won't let him escape it because he's a simply a weapon for revenge now, no longer does she see him as a son.

His birthday cake is made of chocolate and his pint of ice cream is chocolate, too. There aren't many things he talks about enjoying in the game, but he does make it clear that he enjoys mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Ray revealed that fact in 2019. I mean, could that be his favorite flavor and not Unknown’s favorite? That's always possible, after all, they're not the same person. But, I have always operated under the suspicion that they share favorite ice cream flavors. They like how it stays on your tongue, cold, sweet, and just a little bit chewy. It's nice on a hot day.

I don't think he's super picky about ice cream since you probably can't go wrong with ice cream in his eyes, but the fact that he's able to establish a favorite kind of ice cream shows me that he does care about what he gets if he's allowed to have a choice. Like, I would love vanilla ice cream if it's offered, but if you had an assortment, I'd want chocolate or mint chocolate chip!

This is a character who has been repeatedly robbed of his autonomy time and time again, both with contempt and with a naive thought to protect them without thinking of his choice, and if he was asked what kind of ice cream he wanted for his birthday here, I think he'd pick his favorite if he could.

He clearly didn't pick here. I mean, you can check out the seasonal chats if you want to for 2020. Unknown tells Yoosung and Zen that he loves ice cream and even if they think he's some kind of program and not a real person, he still wants them to leave out the ice cream because, hey, what kind of person wouldn't want an ice cream if it was offered to them? I don't know people who would turn down the ice cream.

But, again, if you can choose the ice cream you're given, won't you pick your favorite flavor?

If you buy the folders from the market, you'll be treated to Unknown and Seven enjoying each other's ice cream, but while Saeyoung looks content with his ice cream, Unknown isn't enthused by Superman ice cream. My boy isn't picky about ice cream but he probably wouldn't want to consume his twin brother's favorite flavor... especially not at a time wherein anything related to Saeyoung makes him want to gag.

If the only ice cream he had to eat was that of his brother's favorite flavor, I think he'd do it, but I don't think he'd be happy about it in the end. It would take the ice cream experience, but he's not going to say no to something that makes him happy in a world that already has caused him to feel apathetic about most things. Yeah, it might not make him happy to have something that reminds me of his brother, but most things remind him of his brother and it's an inescapable tragedy. 

I don't think I need to talk about the representation of black roses in this game when it comes to this character, either. He is given this particular flower whenever he is in a timeline that doesn't bode well for him. It is a representation of the fact that he no longer has hope for a brighter tomorrow. All he sees on the horizon for his life is death and apathy.

Death can also be transformative, but that is not the reference we are meant to take away when we see it represented like this. GE Saeran's got a black rose around his throat during the RAE when you team up with Rika to turn him into a product of consumption to "survive" in a world that lets Saejoong get away with everything. But, anytime I see those flowers with him, I associate it with a loss of autonomy.

I associate it with Rika's control.

The one thing that's bothered me ever since I've seen the image is that bottle of alcohol sitting in the background. I mean, it doesn't have to be alcohol in that fancy sparkling glass, but there aren't too many drinks that are placed inside of those containers and the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I become. I try not to think about it, and I often tell myself that the only reason why it's there is because the artist might not have been told about the character's trauma.

After all, if the artist was made aware of this fact, it means the choice was intentional to place the bottle of alcohol within the image. I have no idea if the artist was made aware of that fact. The only reason why I tell myself that the artist might not have known is because Rika was also represented with alcohol in one of her birthday pictures, and she does not consume alcohol frequently or at all, either. 

In fact, Rika canonically scolds Jihyun and Jumin often for their poor drinking habits and reminds them to be responsible. There's a chat in Another Story where Jumin and Jihyun turn silent when you echo the words Rika once told them about alcohol.

The alternative in this situation if we don't believe the artist made a mistake without being aware of the lore is for me to believe that she specifically chose to put alcohol on the table knowing that it would trigger him. 

Because, unfortunately, since the artist made that decision, it leads the player to interpret that she purposefully put that bottle there to hurt him. I recognize that most people aren't going to think that hard about this and for the most part, it might fly over your head without a second thought, but it bothers me. I am a stickler for fine details and if you're a person who loves to speculate and dig into some media for everything you can find, this is one of those things that’ll haunt you. 

At the end of the day, it comes down to how you want to interpret the image, if you want to take it at face value for what it is and recognize that the artist likely didn’t know, that’s okay. If you would prefer to read into it as something that makes your stomach turn into knots knowing that Rika might’ve hit him where it hurts most, that's alright, too. 

I try to suspend my disbelief as much as I possibly can to ignore that bottle, but the bottle is there, and I can’t avoid it no matter how much I want to unsee it.

I have a hard enough time in the fandom when it comes to people representing the twins and alcohol as it is. These two are never going to drink a drop in their life, and if they do—There is a situation where Saeyoung drinks champagne in V Route, but it’s when he’s hit rock bottom and he thinks his brother is dead and it’s been two and a half years since then.

The last time his brother was alive, there was going to be a party. The trauma is going to come back to life as soon as the party is brought up again, and that is the only reason why I think he decided to drink that day. He was at the end of his rope, and he decided he would do the one thing he promised never to do because he thought it would numb his emotions enough to survive the way he saw his wretched mother tried to numb every miserable moment of her existence. 

I don't think he enjoyed it, though. I think he took a sip of it, and then he immediately wanted to throw up. He gets rid of the rest of the tiny glass and he never touches alcohol ever again. 

I've seen far too many people represent these two as characters that will drink without a second thought. There is no mention of their trauma, there is no regard for what they've been through, and there is not a second in the narration that even remotely points to the fact that they have trauma that stems from their mother's alcoholism. 

I can't tell you not to write something you want to write, just as much as someone can't tell me not to write what I want to write, but when you have no regard for this specific trauma, it makes me wonder how much compassion you have for somebody who has the same kind of trauma in real life. 

Because, this may be a huge stretch, I know, but if you can't respect a character who said they don't want to drink anything that contains alcohol and you write them doing it anyway, who’s to say that you’ll respect a real person telling you the same thing? 

Far too many countries have socialized drinking to the point that anybody who doesn't want to drink, regardless of the reason, will be shamed or ostracized for it by others in the room. I can't tell you how many people have tried to tell me to take a small sip of alcohol since becoming an adult, and I’ve refused. It's fine and dandy if that's what you want to do, as long as you're doing it safely!

But, why am I the one who is asked questions for saying no?

I don't shame anybody for enjoying and consuming alcohol, so why is it that I hear, "Well, just take a sip! How can you know if you've never had it? Here, let me shove this in your face and keep pushing you to do something you're clearly not okay with!" I don't want it.

This is also the case for many people my age who aren't interested, because I've heard the same thing from others who have been poked and prodded at like me. None of us owe you an explanation as to why we don't want to consume alcohol for whatever reason. No means no. That should be respected at the end of the day, point blank. 

Saeran hasn't said it as bluntly as Saeyoung, but you should be able to infer quite easily.

“Something new...like what?” *SMUT*

Summary: You’ve been with Steve for a while and normally have a great time in and out of bed, until it’s the same thing over and over so you drag him into a sex shop for something fun to try.

Word count: 3.9k

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Stranger Things characters nor do I claim to own them.

You’ve been wondering how to bring up trying something new with Steve in the bedroom, knowing he didn’t need it since he seemed so content with the usual kissing and foreplay before having the same kind of sex every time. While you did enjoy it of course you also felt like this other side of you needed to come out and explore. Late one night after the same kind of sex again you and Steve were ready for bed and when he seemed half asleep you finally spoke the words, “I wanna try something kinky for sex” You said then closed your eyes so as to not see his reaction which was only him quickly opening his eyes and his jaw-dropping before he tried to speak “W-what do you mean kinky?” He watched you keep your eyes closed but sighed before letting him know what’s been troubling you “I love our sex life but I want to try something new” Feeling bad that he could take it the wrong way and think he’s the problem.

"I’m…I’m a bit shocked right now. I…I had no idea you wanted more from me. I just…I feel like I’m not your favorite flavor of ice cream. I’ve obviously been doing it wrong! How can I do better for you?" He said while sitting up as sleep was now the last thing on his mind during this conversation, He would stare at you a bit shocked as he still was trying to process what you may have wanted “What do you mean by something kinky?” He asked, confused about what you were trying to request from him. Shrugging your shoulders and slowly opened your eyes to look up at him as you sat up in the bed next to him and tried to find the right words to say "I don't know just something new you know?", starting to feel embarrassed, and rolled over as you laid back down now, facing away from him acting like it wasn't happening."It's fine. Let's just forget it, okay?". He would sigh “No I don’t think we can brush this off let’s talk about it more. Tell me what you want to try, and I’m willing to do it with you.”

Letting out a slight hum before glancing over your shoulder at him and speaking lower as you tried to figure out how you wanted this to really go "Well Eddie and Robin were talking about a sex shop that just opened and I figured we could go look around.... but only if you want to." Biting down on your lower lip, feeling nervous about his reaction since getting together and noticing her was more on the vanilla side of sex, and if he had said no, you'd probably let it go and go check it out yourself. He was hesitant for a moment to even go into one, but it seemed you really wanted to go inside, and he would rather do it with you than have you go all by yourself. “Fine, we can go inside, but make sure to not make any embarrassing purchases.” He said it mostly joking but also a bit serious. A few days after the late impromptu opening between you and Steve you had both had tried to act normal while going about your day, wondering if he was serious about trying something new but simply waited to see for yourself if he did or would make the first move about going with you. But once the weekend had hit you noticed he was trying his best to act excited as he brought up going to the sex shop with you doing his best to hide his nerves about seeing such things almost as if his heart would give out as soon as he saw the first few options when you both walked in.

Giggling to yourself upon seeing Steve blushing brightly and staring a hole into the floor not daring to look up, lightly whispering to him not wanting to embarrass him more “We don’t have to do this Steve I promise it’s fine” Steve blushes even more and tries to hide it he keeps his head down not daring to look up and thinks to himself “don’t look up don’t look up” his nervous tone and red face shows his embarrassment but looked up and saw your excitement knowing he would have to push through his own feelings to actually try to do this for you then lightly spoke up “Baby I’d do anything for you even this I don’t care about the nerves if it makes you happy and comfortable so will I.”.

“Baby please I’m trying my best okay.” He’d nervously rub the back of his head, and nervously looked up and around for a few seconds “So where do we even..start?”He spoke in confusion, You gently cupped his face in your hands smiling softly at him then gently kissed his lips a few times before speaking up so he knew you would help with whatever to keep him calm "I know baby, and thank you for even trying it means so much to me, We don't have to go for anything that seems too much just something small and fun to try the next time we have sex". He felt a little bit better and like he could breathe a little easier “You’re welcome” He smiled at you from the kiss and held your hand tightly, as he walked with you down a few aisles “Okay so what is it exactly that you’re looking for?”

Lacing your fingers with his you started to walk around with him as you tried to look around, smiling over at him as you thought about it then shrugged "I don't really know I know something easy to incorporate would be nice Eddie and Robin gave me ideas but I can only use some of them". He raised an eyebrow at this, with a small chuckle “Wait wait wait Robin and Eddie gave you some..ideas? Now I’m really curious as to what they are now.”, trying to laugh it off as you remembered what the two shared friends had each told you to try and get before looking over at him with a playful smile "Well Eddie was telling me to get some handcuffs and something called a flogger? I think that's what he said it was called anyway while Robin was telling me about some lingerie and ....something else that I'm not gonna talk about".

“Handcuffs and a flogger?” He’d gasp at these, a little shocked as he assumed that you didn’t get them though, you shrugged and looked away from him at some things hanging from a wall knowing you wouldn’t want to pick anything here as you spoke softly feeling flustered "well I was actually thinking that you know....the handcuffs weren't so bad". “You were thinking about them?! So like..for real?” Now he was starting to get excited, but still nervous about this “You maybe..have the idea that you might get them? Or are you just thinking about it for now?”, he looks at the cuffs and floggers on the wall, and he's a little flustered, but very much interested even as he still blushes “Yes, those... look fascinating. They do, they really do. But um, what are they for?” He's hesitant, but intrigued, as he wants to learn more and to please you.

You smiled as you looked through different items. “Those are for people that wish to be punished. Or who wishes to play a master and a submissive. Either works. They come with instructions and are safe to do so.” You give a wink as you caress his cheek playfully. A big smile spreads across Steve's face, as he looks at you and is intrigued.  He thinks to himself how you are going to bring out a whole other side he didn't know he had. He feels his heart start to race, and his excitement grows “...you want to... experiment? to see if I'd like it?... or do you want me to experiment with you?”, You smirked playfully as you saw him already so excited. Thinking to yourself ‘You really are a little innocent puppy.’ “I'm happy to be your experimental bunny, my sweet.” You said the last phrase with a sultry voice and blew a kiss toward him.

He blushes, his excitement turns quickly into anxiety, as he looks at the handcuffs and floggers, and everything else on the wall, he looks back at you with a smile, but his nerves are shaking as he tries to nod his head with nothing but certainty “This is all... very new to me. I've never done this before, and yet...” He looks at the wall again, his intrigue in it getting the best of him “I want to try this with you, Baby, I really, really do.” He blushed a bit at the kiss but was still intrigued at the thought of you being his experimental bunny. His heart has really started to race, but he's nervous trying to calm himself, he's just as excited. “Well, my little bunny, I think it's a yes from me.  Do you want to head back home?”. You see the struggle in Steve, as you try to smile reassuringly to him. “There is no rush Steve. As I said, I am your sweet bunny.” You looked at him with another slight wink, and caressed his cheek again. “I am happy to go slowly and wait until you are ready. I want you to enjoy every moment of this.” You leaned close and gently kissed his cheek.

After making the purchases from the small sex shop you and Steve went home, finding it hard to even sit still long enough in your seat as Steve laughed at your excitement but said nothing only opening your door once finally home and leading you inside the shared place. Letting the tension build as you both kissed each other while pawing at one another trying to undress the other even as you both bumped into things before making it to your shared bedroom, Steve laid you down on the bed slowly pulling off your clothes than his own as he leaned down closer to you as he cupped your face kissing you tenderly not letting anything rush him much like every other time you both had sex while his hands moved across your body showing appreciation. Warmth spread across your body as Steve started the teasing. Taking his time to remove your clothes, kissing your lips and your face, his tender touch makes your whole body feel like in heaven. Your heart beats faster as your body is in a warm embrace of his like you are in your own world with the two of you.

As your lips meet, you feel all the tension melt away as your desires take over your body. You let Steve take his time, as you enjoy the tender caresses, the sweet kisses. Every soft touch just makes your skin feel like it's on fire. As you move further and further in your bed, you moan softly and kiss Steve back passionately. Steve is now caught up in a world of passion, and emotion. He’s never felt this way before. His heart is racing, and each kiss is a new fire to his soul. As they reach the pinnacle of this newfound attraction, he feels the rush, the desire, the passion, all of it as they take it to a whole new level, and are now truly… just lost. Nothing, just the two of them are left. It’s just the two of you, and your passion, as your desires explode.

He moved down your body pressing his lips wherever he could against your soft glowing skin, leaving soft bite marks and light bruises against your skin to show more adoration toward you as he settled in between your thighs and gripped your legs holding them spread open for him instead of letting you shy away from him. As Steve held your legs spread open, you let him claim you and your body. You couldn't help but moan his name as he kissed, nibbled, and licked at your body. Every soft touch turned you on, it made your body tremble. You looked down at him, your eyes filled with desire as you watched him before your eyes rolled back into your head at the feeling of his tongue against your lower lips. Steve couldn’t help the grunt that passed his lips as he felt you tug on his hair but continued moving his tongue against your pussy, slowly pushing his tongue inside of you as his nose bumped and rubbed against your clit groaning against you as his eyes shut feeling himself become more and more desperate for the taste of you. You couldn’t stop the moaning or squirming around against the sheets no matter how hard you tried even as Steve’s fingers tightened onto your hips holding you down and still only letting you move as you practically rode his face.

Having lost track of how much time was passing due to the pleasure coursing through your veins, bucking your hips as you kept tugging Steve’s hair as if he could be any closer to you but moaned loudly when the coil in your stomach snapped as your chest rose and fell trying to catch your breath. Steve smiled to himself seeing you looking angelic like this before he gently turned you over onto your stomach but placed more kisses against your shoulders and back letting you come down a little bit, grabbing the handcuffs as he gently hooked them onto your wrists placing feather-light kisses on your hands as he slowly pulled away from your body as he stood at the end of the bed pulling your closer only leaving you to bend over the soft plushness of the bed now.

As Steve turned you over and put the handcuffs on you, you could feel the rush of adrenaline through your body. You are a little nervous about this, but willing to give yourself to Steve. You could feel your breath hitched as you laid still as possible, your arms bound behind your back. It only made you feel more in need, more vulnerable, as your body is so close to Steve. Steve's feather-light kiss on your hands made you tremble, as you wanted more from him. “Steve, please...“ Your voice comes out as a whisper. It is filled with desire, passion, and want. Feeling the need become heavier as if he couldn’t wait to just fuck you right then and there but took a few quick deep breaths before cupping your ass in his large hands squeezing as he let the moment build up again only to bring his hand down making it rougher the more he swatted your butt. Letting his hand continue to spank you until he felt he built up enough confidence as he grabbed the flogger feeling how heavy it was in his inexperienced hand, tightening his hand around the toy as he looked at you teasing you again by dragging it lightly across your body before striking your cheeks starting off gentle as his strength became harder even hitting your thighs enjoying seeing the welt marks on your skin as his cock leaked more precum. With every hit of the flogger, your body is filled with sharp pain. But you couldn't help but to moan, loudly, craving more and more from him. Your breath starts to slow down and your voice comes out as a whine. This pain... it felt so good. But Steve's teasing was just as delicious. You looked over your shoulder at him eagerly, with your tongue slightly slipped out, your lips swollen because of the hard kisses from Steve.

Steve bit down on his lower lip seeing the marks already showing up on your skin he placed his hand against your skin and felt the warmth radiating from your abused lower waist, dropping the flogger onto the ground as one of his hands held your waist and his free hand started stroking his hard cock feeling like he couldn’t wait anymore as he slowly eased his cock into you with a groan leaving his lips. Steve moaned softly, moved his body over yours as he pulled you close and kissed your lips again, sliding deep inside you and letting his body feel what yours could offer him. Your lips were warm and welcoming, and your body was like nothing he had ever felt before. "Ah, Baby..." he murmured, his voice heavy with lust as he slowly moved his body again, his hands squeezing your thighs as he moved faster and faster, his breath becoming more and more ragged. "Oh, yes," he gasped. You moved along to Steve's rhythm, moaning to the top of your lungs. He felt so good inside you, better than anything in your life before. You were in a personal heaven, with all the love and lust filling you completely, almost making you forget about the world around you. You leaned back against him looking at Steve, with your eyes filled with desire, it showed how much you needed him.

The sounds of passion filled the room, the two lovers in sync as your movements grew louder and faster, your breathing heavier and your pleasure more intense. Steve felt as if he was losing himself, his body overcome with passion. As his heart beat harder and faster, you began to moan louder. "Oh, God," he groaned, "Oh, God, yes. Your body is driving me crazy." His body was moving faster and faster, each minute more intense than the last as his hands squeezed your thighs hard. You can't help but moan at every kiss Steve gives to you. The way Steve thrusts deeper letting his balls slap against your ass, the warm feeling of his body against yours, it's all so exciting that it makes him want more from you. You felt him sliding inside you harder, your eyes open wide as you let out a moan of pleasure. “Oh, Steve.” Steve was giving you all you needed, all you wanted, all you deserved. He was your everything in that moment, and he felt your pussy tighten around his cock, your eyes closed tightly as you moved with him. He felt his climax building, and he moved even faster, his hips pushing even deeper into you as he pressed you more into the bed.

When you felt Steve’s hips stutter as he started slowing down, you could barely breathe. Each thrust drove you to moan louder and harder. As your cunt squeezed his cock, it sent you over the edge, and you experienced the most intense wave of pleasure. It's intense as it's overwhelming, but it's still the greatest pleasure of your life. “Oh, God oh, Steve...Oh, yes, yes...” As the pleasure takes over your body, you feel like you were in heaven. You couldn't help yourself making noises with each movement. You moaned and your legs tightened as you finally climaxed and released all the tension and frustration you had. You looked at him with your eyes filled with lust, love, and hunger. ”Oh, yes... yes, Steve...” You whispered. Steve moaned in your ear feeling you milk his cock for all it was worth, giving you both a minute to relax before he slowly pulled out and took the handcuffs off of you before pulling you to lay down on the bed with him as he wrapped his arms around you. Tenderly massaging your wrists placing kisses against your temple and your cheek as he softly panted with you trying to catch his breath. "Baby..." Steve whispered softly, letting his head fall against the bed again. His skin was covered in sweat, and his breath was heavy, but he was smiling. He pulled you closer to him, enjoying the feeling of your skin against him. "I've never felt so good in my entire life," he confessed, "I can't believe I didn’t know about this stuff sooner." He kissed you again, softly, enjoying the taste of your lips. "God, I love you."

As Steve took off the handcuffs, you felt a bit tense as you slowly relaxed. The rush of the play is over, and you were starting to come back to your senses. But still, the sight of seeing your man just lying beside you on the bed gives you another rush of passion but also adoration for the brown-eyed male. Your skin is still warm, making you snuggle close to Steve and cling to him. Your legs are wrapped around him, but this time, not in the way of being tied together, as you try to catch his drift. “Oh, Steve I love you too.” You said, smiling before looking up at him with a small smile as you kissed his cheek "Thank you for trying something new with me Steve, I really do appreciate it." He smiled as he kissed your forehead “I enjoyed every second of it.  And I want to do this again and again.  I want to explore every little bit, every little kink, I want to explore you and the person that you are, all of it. That, my sweet bunny, is all I want to do with you.  I want to explore, discover, and learn.  And I want to do it with the most incredible, beautiful bunny in the world. This is all you, my love.” He leans down and kisses you softly.

Ice cream soup

--Todoroki and Yaoyorozu were best friends since age five. They met on the first day of kindergarten when Yaoyorozu stomped up to the boy and complimented his hair.

She was the only friend he had up until high school. The other kids thought he was... weird.

Shouto almost never spoke unless called on by a teacher or to answer a question. He was more a fan of observing than joining in. And he was... socially awkward. Socializing wasn't his strong suit.

But Momo didn't have much of a problem with that. She took the lead in most of their conversations and Shouto would listen (mostly) and chime in sometimes with a "Really?" or "Did you know that there are theories that aliens built the pyramids in Egypt? Crazy, right?"

The pair had a ritual. Once every month, they would walk to a little ice cream shop, hidden behind bigger buildings and blocked from advertisements of "better" places. The Cream Dream was Shouto and Momo's favorite place for a treat and they savored the moments they had there, albeit few because of their parents. (Endeavor only let Shouto go because he was happy he already had "plans of making his own number 1 someday." Gross.)

Momo would always get their flavor of the month. Sometimes it was gross and sometimes she wished the ice cream wasn't seasonal. Shouto always got vanilla, though he had a... quirky little habit.

Their outings would take longer than normal because Shouto wouldn't eat his ice cream until it was melted into soup. Originally, Momo thought that was weird.

"I must say... I don't think I could eat a whole cup of melted ice cream. It's so much better cold!"

Shouto would shrug and slurp his ice cream soup. "I don't like how it feels all weird when it's frozen."

"Feels all weird? What do you mean?" Momo asked, her cup already empty.

Shouto shrugged again. "Tingly, I guess."

So Momo would wait for her friend's treat to melt to "perfection" and learn to be grateful for the fact that they could have more time because of how darn long it took for Shouto to consider his ice cream acceptable.

Though she had to admit, ice cream soup wasn't all that bad.--

AHH!!! They're so cute, I love them. Also, if you see this on AO3, please be assured I did not take the fanfic and post it as my own here. I finally got invited to AO3!!! Check me out at thesnickersplace, same name as my blog.

[itoshi-s]

Don't worry I feel the same way about mochi ice cream D: the texture is great!! But the flavor....ehhhh. Also, Rin needs a psychologist gf lmao he and so many other boys (like Reo and Nagi) could benefit from having a partner with the analytical thought process and emotional maturity to call them out on shit and give them advice 😂😂😂

Out of curiosity btw, have you ever thought about what lipstick color/or chapstick flavors the bllk boys would like?? Reo supposedly like older, classy women so he seems like a vintage red lip guy with maybe a minty chapstick. Nagi, Isagi, and Rin seem like pink boys for sure but different shades. Bachira is a fruity flavor and likes the wholeeee color palette

aaaAaA pls the psych girlfriends …… yes absolutely </3 rin would HATE the thought of it, but eventually learn that it actually has its perks. nagi wouldn’t realize that it’s helpful 2 hear someone’s pov and actually give him some good insight on what’s going on w his thoughts. reo actively asks u for advice & wants to hear your opinion!!!! it’s not like he’s going 2 make use of it immediately tho lol he’s so baby :( but yes definitely agree. this is extremely self-indulgent but yes all of these stressed out emotionally constipated men need a psychologist s/o. end of story i am actually assigning them one as we speak :,3

as for the lipsticks !!! this idea is so cute omg ^_^ for starters reo is definitely into red, cool toned and rich!! matte or lacquered, it doesn’t really matter, he just loves the color in overall. it’s very classy && he’s absolutely into that. also may i add,, lipsticks stains…..oh he goes cRAZY. as for chapstick flavors yes! def something minty, nothing too weird, he likes the way it feels cool when he gives u kisses!

bachira is so fun omg he truly does like all the colors on u,, it’s so hard 4 him to pick a favorite he just loves them all :( watches you apply it in the mornings &&he’s so giddy ‘cause you can pull off anything and he likes how fun it looks. fruity chapsticks are a must, even better if u have a few different flavors and he makes it a little game to guess which one is it that you’re wearing today >_<

yes !! rin, isagi, & nagi all love pinkish shades. there's something so cute about it! i'd say rin is into nude-ish colors, the kinda pink that looks like your lip color but better, and loves if you wear a darker lip liner w/ it <33 it makes your pout pop nd he just cannot stop thinking about it!!!! chapstick flavor - anything sweet :( the sweeter the better. coconut, vanilla, or some other fancy stuff, he loves to lick his lip and taste the remaining traces!

isagi is more into lip gloss i feel like !! he doesn't discriminate between shades, but pink just does it for him. it makes your complexion all dewy and fresh and he likes how sweet it makes u look :< also adores the way ur lipgloss leaves stains on his cheeks and stains his lips a soft pink as well whenever u smooch him. somethin about yoichi strikes me as a simple,, lovely lovely guy and so i think his fav chapstick is just plain strawberry!!!! mmhm

last but not least, nagi likes u in a little toned down pinks. liquid matte, preferably,, so that it's not a pain later when u kiss him and leave marks :x BUT i'd say he also has a think for darker lip colors, i'm thinking a nice deep chocolate brown or perhaps a brown-ish gloss, i'm thinking of that one fenty heat shade..... it catches his attention, makes your lips so vibrant and accentuated, he cannot resist it!!!!! loves ur cola flavored chapsticks

My Trafalgar Law HC's!! pt.5 🤍🤍

He's never told/will tell anyone this, but he once cosplayed as Homura Akemi in his room. He thought he looked super cute (and he did)

He has a Raphtalia nenderoid. He has her on his desk. He doesn't make a big deal about it or acknowledge it, but it's super cute.

^^He's got one of these on his bed

This isn't really a HC, but he smells really nice. His entire place smells really good, too. Luffy really likes the smell of his car LOL and never let's him forget that.

I've mentioned this before kinda, but his comfort game is Deemo. He likes listening to the music from the game and putting it on while he works, now and then.

His favorite flavor of ice cream is plain vanilla. He can deal with chocolate chips, but he's pretty picky. If you give him a warm brownie alongside it tho, he'll be hooked.

His Genshin Impact team would be Albedo, Fischl, Yoimiya, and Xiao. He also ships Xiao and Venti. He mains as Albedo, but he also really likes Gorou, Barbara, and Chonghyun (it was his starting main).

He would never have Tiktok.

I've also mentioned one of these before, but he can play the piano and the ocarina really well. Also slightly cannon but he can sing very well.

He doesn't drink soda, but if he had to choose, he prefers regular Dr. Pepper.

If he was the reader, his favorite Straw Hat would be Nami, but he also likes Chopper, Corazon (in every HC in every timeline lol), and Ace.

He loves summer weather. He hates the snow.

He's very good at photography and likes going on walks now and then to take photos.

If you asked him what song he's been jamming to recently, he'd say Der Shelby pt.2-Hozier.

His favorite Victorious character is Jade West. He also likes Beck.

He'd own a dog, probably like a husky, golden retriever, or a samoyed. When he's a doctor, he'd own 4-5 dogs.

I really don't see him dating anyone unless they gave like sunshine/warm colored vibes. Ace or Luffy coded characters would probably have the best chemistry with him.

His favorite SpongeBob episodes are "Shanghaied", "Wet Painters", "Graveyard Shift", and "Dying for Pie".

If he could visit any place in America, he'd probably choose Yellowstone.

He'd cry for John Lennon if he visited the Dakota Apt.'s in New York.

He convinced Luffy that the Blair Witch Project was real.

He would be really good at Prop Hunt.

He is a very patient and safe driver.

Young Law HC's

This HC is kinda sad/sentimental, just a heads up.

I like to imagine if he grew up in the Modern World, he'd really like basketball. Corazon would save up the money to buy tickets to basketball games, and would take Law. Corazon is overall just the best most wholesome awesome Dad ever in my HC. He's doing his best. He'd show up to the Father's, Grandparent's, and Mother's day events at his school to make sure he wasn't alone. If he couldn't make it, he'd have one of his marine buddies go. He'd get Law happy meals and buy him ice cream. He'd have an album full of polaroids with him and Corazon.

This one's kinda sad but I feel like he'd be a really lonely kid throughout elementary school. He'd be really unpopular, but would be seen as "Quiet and Smart, and kinda intimidating". He'd watch Ace play basketball and eventually join him, and get sad when he graduates to highschool. He'd be really lonely and listen to music during lunchtime at a table by himself. He'd eventually have a friend group, but he'd still have issues with depression. He'd also be really good at art, but never pursue it. Teachers would think he's a very bright individual and is very polite, but very quiet.

For his birthday, he'd ask for comic books, robot figures, and a new pair of sneakers.

He'd love Radiohead. This is a bit biased, but his favorite song would be "No Surprises-Radiohead".

He'd also really like the Beatles. John would be his favorite member. He'd 100% have a Beatles poster in his room.

I don't wanna make the HC more angsty, but Corazon would make sure he goes to therapy.

He really likes dogs. He'd like animals in general. Corazon would take him to the zoo, and they'd look at the penguins and the petting zoo.

Yippee time to do my favorite thing in thr world: Infodump /silly

-

Share your kin memories!

Honestly the amount of memories I've shared on this blog already are quite a lot lol

But I guess I'll share a small one for each of my main kintypes

Etho: I had a habit of literally curling myself around Skizz when I wanted to hug time. Like my wings and tail were fully wrapped around him. I also did this while sleeping apparently

Shadow Bonnie: the souls liked to play games in the secret backroom during the day! This lead to many silly moments :3

Sparrow: I actually didn't like water very much. Poor Spot and Racer had to force me to drink enough every day

Is there any foods from your kins that you can’t have anymore/miss? (Big Q asks for your favourite ice cream flavors)

Etho: You all do not understand how good watered down potions & campfire cooked meat tastes. Like sweet potions and good savory meat and you're chilling with your family. 100/10

Shadow Bonnie: I couldn't exactly eat, but Chi's cupcakes and Chica's pizza smelled good enough to count :3

Sparrow: I don't miss the food persay, but the experience of eating with the newsies!! Any food was the best food with those dumbasses /affectionate

... I can't really eat ice cream (milk doesn't like me :( ), but vanilla custard with warm caramel is always a first pick for me!!!

What was/is your favorite thing about Minecraft?

Etho: how fucking easy it was to build things. I think I would've screamed if I actually had to build a bunch of things from my mems ;-;

Who do you miss the most?

Etho: My husband. Phil has read through more then enough of me missing him lol. (Skizz come back where are you-). But I'd honestly have to say pretty much everybody that I was close to. I miss them for all different reasons!

Bo: Mari & Springy. Lefty and Molten are also up there! I think it's more so the memory of our deaths :/

Sparrow: Racer. The only person in any of my timelines that I had romantic feelings for and he's not beside me :(

What’s the best thing about being kin for you?

The people I've met along the way. And in my memories.

Sure, the bad memories hurt. They hurt a lot, but there's always the good ones to balance it out.

If I remember anything about the death games, I can just hold on to when I married Skizz, or hanging out with the Helsmits, or raising my kids.

If I can't get Henry's speech out of my head, I can instead think back to Mari needing to have his needles taken so he wouldn't stab Afton, or Springy getting crowned the 'King of Capitalist Checkers'

Or when I can't get Racer's cold body out of my vision, I think back to the secret kisses with him, or times in the lodging house when everybody was happy.

So I guess I can say the friends I've made, and the happy memories I would've otherwise never known about.

If you could swap your kins/kintypes, would you?

Nah. They're me, for better or worse.

I will say there's a character from a cartoon I've seen bits and pieces of that feels like she should be a kintype, but she isn't. It's kinda funny actually

What’s your favorite music? Additionally, do any songs help you get into shift?

I really like upbeat and fast paced songs :D My music tastes are a weird venn diagram of Pop, indie stuff, Rock, Musicals, & Vocoloid/simular stuff :3

Music 100% helps me shift. sometimes unintentally. some examples are:

Etho - Will I Find My Home, King of the World, Paper Rings, & Brother

Shadow Bonnie - The Kids Aren't Alright (Mari used it to pratisc guitar), Make This Puppet Proud, The Puppet Song, & the music box from fnaf 2

Sparrow - Almost anything from the Newsies soundtrack, Abandon Ship, Ribs, & Lost Boy

(hey btw, if you like vocoloid stuff check out the album Diary of Underage Observation! It's got some darker topics but the songs slap (shout out to another friend and me getting one song stuck in our heads for three days stright lol))

—Or use this ask game as an opportunity to share anything else you want!

send help I can't tell if I'm just hyperfixationing and projecting on certain characters or if they're me ;-; (my reaction to stress is apparently very simluar to depersonalization/derealization disorder which is. annoying. because I can not longer tell if my body feels wrong because gender, or kinshift, or that.)

If any of those that I'm questioning end up actually being kins, I'll do this again with them because I love excuses to infodump are my lives :3 Voidling Not!Anon

LETS GOOOO I LOVE INFODUMPS

the thing about memories is really super wholesome :)

*slams down a reverse uno* 🍨🌙🔥⚡

mun vs muse.

🍨 What is the mun’s favorite ice cream flavour? 

silver thinks on this for a second, pondering the left wall before giving a short hum. " i'd say it's a pretty good flavor, cake batter. i don't think it's my personal favorite but i can't disagree in saying it's good. "

do you even have a favorite, silver?

he pauses, opening his mouth as if to retort yet actually spends more than a second to further think about his answer. only to realize something: he doesn't have ice cream that often. " and even if i do, i'd tend to get vanilla. maybe strawberry. " he frowns, " i'm adding candy to it, the flavor can't be intense. something like mochi, bits of marshmallow. "

yeah, buddy, you tend to like the frozen yogurt help-yourself chains huh?

he sneers. " like it's bad? hit me with the ube flavor, please. that's the only thing i can tolerate besides vanilla with all the candy toppings. "

🌙 Does the mun stay up long or goes to bed early? 

and it's at this silver loses his composure and snorts, a smirk of all smirks lifting only one side. " i'm not much to judge, seeing as i keep them awake when i'm around and particularly... hyper. i'd say we both have a relatively fucked up sleep schedule. "

i seem to remember you keeping us up until 2 am when we had to be up for class the next morning at 6:30?

he rolls his eyes. crosses his arms and leans back into the seat with the most inaudible huff. " atleast i'm not the one consistently making us both only get 5-6 hours of sleep a day for the past two weeks. i don't think you've seen the bags under your eyes yet. "

🔥 How would you spend one day with the mun if you could? 

beats of time where he thinks about it, chewing on his lip all the while. " i don't know. i already feel like i've been brought around everywhere, even at work - which, fucking sucks by the way. i've learned to deal with it, but still. "

you can't deny you love those kids.

" not denying it. just saying what we do sucks. atleast sometimes. " another little huff. " i think if it were an off day, joint laying down on the bed and relaxing for a nice few hours. i'd like to draw some things, maybe a pokemon battle or two. i don't think they'd mind that, either. "

you know i'm game for anything. taking a nice nap sounds amazing.

he thinks even longer on this. " i would really like to draw shota and silver, actually. you dragged me into this and now we both suffer. "

⚡ What is the mun’s favorite weather? 

it's almost instant in silver's response. " rain. that's something we both share in common. "

what's funny is you don't even believe in umbrellas.

" i keep finding myself not having one or thinking about bringing one and suddenly i'm caught in the rain. then i'm stuck with soggy shoes and wet and frizzy hair and i hate it, but it feels amazing at the same time. throw in a few bonus points if it's a cool rain, no breeze to be felt. "

have you ever wanted to dance in it?

he screws up his nose in disgust at the mere thought. " absolutely not. i'm not the 'frolicking' type. but, i know you are, and you even did, way back in the fall semester. real good frolicking there, laughing and skipping along with a friend, one arm around each other, who also happens to be a whole head taller than you. you felt those soggy shoes for that entire lecture and the way home.

you weren't there?

" i think i was, in the back. i always feel alive when it's raining, i derive joy from seeing the dark clouds. i relished even the discomfort that came with cold and damp clothing. and i'd feel it all over again if i had to, and i know you share the exact sentiment with me. "

Furry Visual Novel Book Club: Echo Week 15

Hi everyone, here is the SPOILER FREE discussion post for “Echo - TJ’s Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday”

Links: Previous - Next - Original - Spoiler Version

Feel free to respond in reblogs/replies/or asks :D

We begin from the route split by following after Tj, who ran off after Flynn’s tirade. The music cuts and we’re left with the sound of the river. We’re met with three options.

The first two will set Chase’s mood for the next bit of dialogue while the third will lock us out of Tj’s route, which is something we haven’t seen before. 

>Leave him be…

Chase narrates that he’s “not exactly graceful with this sort of thing, especially with TJ.”, and then decides to go with the others, giving us the options for the other route choices but not TJ’s.

>Say Something…”

Chase tries to comfort the lynx, but Tj doesn’t respond.

Until Finally…

>Say Nothing…

Chase sits next to Tj and starts breaking twigs in half, eventually annoying Tj. 

Chase asks TJ if he wants to go eat, and he responds with a firm ‘No.’ Until Finally…

>Reconvergence

Tj is upset Flynn was so mean in front of everyone. Chase comments that Tj is clearly frazzled because the lynx has allowed his fur to stay unkempt even after sitting by himself for a while. Chase comments that Tj’s inability to express himself fully is part of what’s dragging the Lynx down so much. The two continue to discuss Flynn’s tirade

Chase speculates that Flynn is after ‘more than the truth’, and we learn Tj saw Sydney drown. Tj becomes angry at Flynn, because the gila hadn’t realized how much the event affected Tj himself. Tj wishes he could go back to the day, and that he isn’t mad he didn’t save Sydney, he knows he couldn’t have… hinting at wanting something else. Chase glosses over that he could have probably saved Sydney from drowning if he was there.

Chase wants to help Tj with what happened, but says he needs to come to terms with it himself first. We’re treated to a brief flashback of the scene… Flynn drags Chase into the water, and forces the otter to get Sydney while Jenna and Leo try to help where they can.

Tj expresses being upset again, which makes Chase angry at Flynn for hurting Tj so much. Come Over begins to play, as Chase reminds Tj about their planned hike. The two plan their hike and talk about what their plans for school, promising to meet up one more time before graduating. The two return to the group who have packed everything in the van already. Leo asks if Tj is fine and after a satisfactory answer, is done with the conversation and heads off to work after dropping everyone else off at the motel.

The remaining four spend a lazy afternoon together before coming back to discussing Flynn. Carl tries to defend the lizard but Tj hard pivots the conversation to ice cream. When asked what his favorite flavor is, Chase’s head buzzes and he’s unable to think of an answer, blurting out Vanilla after a few moments. Chase’s headache gets worse and he’s unable to continue the conversation, and closes his eyes.. Very particular things happen over the next few lines:

Chase wakes on the couch, after some time has passed, indicated by the fade in, to the room being dark, Tj and Jenna in bed, with Carl on the floor asleep.

The scene fades to black, indicating some more time has passed. Chase is in bed next to Tj and is staring at the door.

We’re then met with a dream sequence… Before going into it I would like to point out the two previous scenes both took places at different times, indicated by the fadeouts, and that they were (most likely) NOT dreams. They don’t have the track associated with dreams playing in them, and Chase doesn’t ‘wake up’ from them into this one, like we’ve seen on Carl’s and Leo’s routes. Just bits of time are hard cut by the writing.

 Tj is drinking alcohol by the lake. He starts to run away after hearing something, but is eventually pulled back into the lake by a chain. Chase tries to help… but is also chained to the lake.

Chase and Tj are on their hike, with Tj trying to comfort the boiling otter.

After a terrible and awkward attempt at playful flirting, the two continue on their hike. Chase calls into question his understanding of Tj’s sexuality, realizing the two have never discussed it, and how it might intersect with the lynx’s vague faith. We then this is INSANE lore tidbit.

Two hours pass by as the scene cuts, while Old Winds begins to play. Chase, struggling with the intensity of the hike, trips and falls. Tj soaks Chase with another water bottle, much to the otters continued annoyance. Tj is concerned for Chase because HE asked the otter out on the trip. After a bit of rest and… determination on where they should eat, the two continue to the peak of the trail. Tj soaks his shirt with water, showing off his fit form. Chase is … attracted to the sight.

The two make it the peak, resting on a stone bench at the top. Chase enjoys being alone with Tj like this… until a tarantula jumps in his lap.

Tj had pranked Chase with a plastic spider after Jenna insisted upon it. One microaggression later, the two enjoy a nice lunch and we’re treated with a CG

Chase takes off his shirt and the two accidentally touch paws while reaching for a bag of chips, sending Tj squirming off embarrassed. The two make awkward small talk while Tj fixes his fur. The two reminiscent on how they met, with Chase being a bit of bully in the story.

Chase heads off on his own for a second to get shots for his project. Drone begins to play, as some THING narrates FOR Chase inside his head… distinct from the entity at the beginning of the game, based off of its font. 

Chase either ignores or pays no attention to the entity and takes the shots he needs. Tj finds Chase taking the shots and comments on the otter’s body, making Chase question Tj more. Tj peers over the edge and we’re met with a Choice…

>Shove him.

The voice narrates Tj’s corpse lying at the bottom of the Canyon… and we’re given the other two options to choose from.

We’re given the option to only Grab him and do nothing…

>Grab him.

Chase scares Tj and the two end up flailing around away from the cliff, locked in each other’s arms for a few moments.

>Do nothing

Chase doesn’t want to actually scare him off they cliff so the two stand there for a few moments.

>Reconvergence:

The two try to yell inot the canyon, trying to get it to ‘echo’ back to them. The sad and nostalgic track, Canyon, begins to play.

The two comment on the quality of Echoes in Echo. Chase laments the town, while Tj wishes everyone could have come today. The two share an intimate moment for a second, until Tj gets a text message. It sours the Lynx’s mood, but he lies to Chase about it, the music cutting once the lie starts. The two head back home.

The two plan the rest of the trip, and tell Jenna to meet them at the diner for dinner. Upon arriving, Jenna remarks on Chase’s… ottery smell. Janice comes to take the groups order, happy to see the trio after they graduated. She also remarks on the mudslide musk in the area, blaming it on another patron. The coyote talks about needing to do some housework in a relatively polite conversation, resulting in Tj volunteering him and Chase for the job. After Jenna and Chase chide Tj for agreeing to the work, Jenna makes another musk comment towards Chase. The otter storms off to the bathroom to clean up in a fit of rage.

Chase tries to alleviate his headache by washing his face in the mirror… but it suddenly continues to worsen.

Chase sees a twisted reflection of himself in the mirror and becomes extremely disoriented. The non-diegetic music and sound effects is described IN text from Chase’s narration, quickly becoming diegetic. Chase writes the episode off as a migraine. Chase cleans up the musk under his armpits, then drops his pants to clean under his tail….

Chase returns to the table embarrassed, passing TJ on the way. Chase makes conversation with Jenna, and learns about Carl’s party tomorrow. Jenna lets slip the Tj wanted to see Chase the most during their trip back home. Jenna shows Chase a stick figure recreation of the prank that TJ had drawn , before heading out back to the motel to grab her purse. Tj returns to the booth.

Chase tries to explain the situation and Tj says its fine… even saying it was kind of cute.Come Over starts to play. Chase ribs Tj, playing gay chicken with the lynx… thrilled to be doing it with a guy again, let alone Tj. Their eyes meet again, and Tj smiles.

Another dream sequence…

Leo is driving Chase’s car on top of the lake, ‘shooting’ Chase with a finger gun from across the water. Tj swims after the car…

The dream sequence CUTS, with NO fade or dissolve, something very peculiar for the novel. Something intentional (IMO). A new track, ‘Unease’ plays, distinct from other Dream Sequence tracks or events. The background is Echo Canyon, now black and white, labeled ‘canyoneg’. Tj is lying at the floor of the canyon, maggots eating him. A paw reaches towards the lynx… 

The dream fades back to the lake, unease still plays. Six bodies float in the water.

Chase knows something isn’t right. A tool-shed sits on the edge of the lake, one that doesn’t exist. It opens, and the scene cuts…

Wednesday

Jenna and Chase discuss going to Carl’s as Tj showers. Tj finishes, and rushes to grab his shirt that he had forgotten, before running back into the bathroom embarrassed to finish dressing. En route to Carl’s house, the scene with Janice plays out the same…

We cut to Carl’s house, the ram unable to be found. Flynn is cursing as usual… but Chase asks him to stop. Leo boosts Jenna into the window again, and she unlocks the door for them. While Flynn searches for Carl, Chase and Tj discuss going to Janice’s later. Tj decides he wants to make sure she’s okay, and Chase agrees to go along. Chase recalls ditching Tj at Duke’s place while him and Carl got junk to build the ram’s tree-house. Chase comments on the bullying stemming from being two years older than Tj. Chase is sent to search outside while Tj is sent to search in the basement.

Chase walks back inside after some reminiscing and…

Followed by Jenna walking by, indicating it wasn’t her orange tail walking down the stairs.

In the basement, Chase walks into Flynn talking to Tj. Flynn apologies for sending something, presumably a text, to Tj yesterday. Flynn holds Tj by his shoulder, dropping his paw once he notices Chase step into the room. Flynn walks out of the room without a word, and Tj frantically grooms himself in front of a mirror. Chase tries to comfort Tj, but the lynx is to frazzled to talk about it. Chase offers to go out and walk with Tj around town to look for Carl, and the two head out.

The two talk about school, Tj going in depth about his schooling as an athletic trainer, and how he’s enjoying it and sports in general. Chase receives a text from Leo, stating they found Carl and that the party is cancelled because Carl isn’t feeling well. The two debate on going to Janice’s. Chase is worried she’s tripping on something while Tj argues she doesn't use drugs… Tj guilt trips Chase to going, with cuteness and the two head over to Janice’s.

The two make it to Janice’s house. The coyote is completely nonchalant, as if not remembering the incident at all. She tasks the boys with removing a mass of weeds and moving firewood, promising refreshments and cookies for the two. Chase contemplates leaving, before Tj soaks himself with hose water and offers it to Chase. Chase soaks himself and the two get to work. Come Over starts to play.

Leo texts Chase asking where he’s at, and once Chase tells him, Leo doesn’t respond anymore. Chase takes off his shirt due to the heat and teases Tj with the ‘show’. The two make plans to go to the diner in the evening, but are interrupted by Tj spotting a tarantula in the weeds.

Janice comes outside due to the two boys screaming. She admires their twink bodies, causing Tj to become flustered. The two get back to work but are unable to find the tarantula again. After finishing, Tj offers some sports medicine advice to Chase, rubbing one of the otter’s tense muscles… after a promise for a full massage later, the two start on the pile of wood.

Chase comments on Tj faking the tarantula, saying how it’s stressed him out. As Tj returns from Janice’s house with a plate of cookies, Chase sprays him with a water hose. A new track, “Tj Theme’, starts to play. Chase is callous and carefree, eating the cookies and openly flirting with TJ… who is reserved and anxious as the upbeat tempo track continues to play in the background. The two continue working, Tj feeling worse and worse as the day continues. The track continues to play... The two continue their spider-infested laborin the gayest-twinkiest way ever, but make short work of the pile. Chase offers to go hiking tomorrow, trying to invite everyone. The pair are about to plan it out, when on the last plank of wood, only for Chase to see a tarantula on the backside of it. The music finally cuts. Chase passes out and we’re met with a dream/flashback…

Sydney, a blue eyed otter, is talking to Chase. Both of them are young children. Sydney starts rough-house playing with Tj, the lynx losing on purpose to get out of it. Sydney starts to strangle Tj with the lynx;s shirt. Chase yells out ‘STOP’, before his view shifts to the present.

Chase wakes up from him passing out, puking up the snacks. Tj pulls Chase inside to cool off, where the Lynx agrees to more manual labor.

The two walk back towards the diner, arguing on the way. Upon arriving at the diner, an old friend takes their order. Julian, a white deer, catches up with the two. Chase stays out of the conversation, glad when Julian eventually leaves. Tj is upset that Chase called him Toby after waking up from the dream sequence, but doesn’t press the issue. Bittersweet starts to play as Chase realizes how he’s made TJ uncomfortable.

Chase asks Tj if he wants to try and find closure about Sydney. He wants to go to the lake with everyone except Flynn and talk about it. Chase confirms that Tj didn’t see the tarantula that caused him to pass out…

We’re met with another dream/flashback where Chase bullies Sydney for bullying Tj…

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

That concludes Tj up until Wednesday. Thank you everyone for taking the time to read and interacting <3 Some very... interesting stuff is being done here. Howly, the author, is really getting into using the medium to its fullest potential, and we’ll see more of that as we continue on.

Next Weeks Reading Assignment is just TJ’s Thursday! End on this line:

"He runs up the road and back toward town, disappearing into the bright sunset."

Or this Day Card:

[bonkalore]

🍔🍰🍦? For both of the two?

🍔 HAMBURGER — is your oc good at cooking? are they good at baking? which one do they prefer? 🍰 SHORTCAKE — what is/are your oc's favorite sweet(s)/dessert(s)? 🍦 SOFT ICE CREAM — what is/are your oc's favorite ice cream flavor(s)? -------------------------------------

🍔 HAMBURGER Jayce: He's pretty decent with cooking!... But he's definitely got a bad habit of getting distracted when doing so and ended up overcooking and burning stuff or possibly getting some things wrong. He knows how to for the most part, but if he's not able to focus on the task, things can go horribly wrong lol Definitely not very good with baking for that reason too, but is better with cooking from scratch waaay better than any baking attempts. It is actually canonical that he burnt a cake he was baking for Shak's bday when she was younger and accidentally burned it, and then put candles in a pizza instead. 😅 Lucy: Lucy can do basic cooking and baking as much as someone would have living on their own, but also wouldn't say she's spectacular with doing so?? I think there'd be at least a few dishes she makes really well, but probably could do so with other things if taught! Think she makes a good cup of coffee tho. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

🍰 SHORTCAKE Jayce: Canonically, his favorite food is Halloween candy (candy corn, but also other things as well). I think he has a sweet tooth in general and would enjoy candies, cakes, cookies, ice cream, and all that good stuff! He's not particularly picky. I think he would have even liked just eating marshmallows by themselves and whip cream from the can before but at some point getting older was like "oh my body doesn't like that much anymore..." lol The more ungodly sweet, the better to him! Lucy: Canonically says she's more of a cake than pie person, but think she is a pretty average dessert enjoyer. Think her tastes are definitely more muted than Jayce and she can be picky with some food textures. I think she isn't super crazy of moist desserts or baked fruit bits like you would get in a cherry pie. Likes the flavor, but not chunks like that as much. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

🍦 SOFT ICE CREAM Jayce: He enjoys a lot of flavors but is particular to chocolate, rainbow sorbet, cookie dough, cookies and cream, rocky road, and maple and pecan. Mint is one flavor he is not a fan of, but think he started to tolerate it a bit more when Lucy said she enjoyed it, but still would rather give it to her if she enjoys it. Lucy: The mint chocolate enjoyer lol But also think she likes basic flavors like chocolate, vanilla, and other ones that don't have any fruit chunks in it.
