XRP: The Sleeping Giant or a Crypto Tombstone?

XRP: The Sleeping Giant or a Crypto Tombstone?
XRP: The Sleeping Giant or a Crypto Tombstone?
Ripples of uncertainty continue to surround XRP, the controversial token associated with Ripple Labs. Unlike the wild swings experienced by other cryptocurrencies in recent months, XRP has remained stubbornly stagnant, a slumbering giant some might say, or perhaps a digital tombstone for overly optimistic investors.
A Brief History of XRP’s Legal Limbo:
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a lawsuit against Ripple Labs in December 2020, alleging XRP is an unregistered security. This lawsuit cast a heavy shadow over XRP’s future, creating a climate of fear and doubt among investors. The legal battle continues to drag on, with no clear resolution in sight.
March Madness or More Stagnation? Unpacking the Potential 25x Surge and Looming Dump Threat
The price of XRP, the token associated with Ripple Labs, has been a curious case in the ever-volatile crypto market. Unlike its brethren that experience wild swings and parabolic rises, XRP has remained stubbornly stagnant, leaving investors questioning its future. However, with March 2024 approaching, whispers of a potential “XRP March Madness” are swirling, hinting at a monstrous breakout that could redefine the coin’s fortunes. Let’s delve deeper into this intriguing scenario and explore the factors fueling this speculation.
Aligning the Stars: Favorable SEC Lawsuit Outcome and Market Momentum:
The ongoing legal battle between Ripple and the SEC remains the single biggest factor influencing XRP’s price. A favorable outcome for Ripple, meaning the court deems XRP not a security, could trigger a domino effect. Regulatory uncertainty would vanish, potentially attracting institutional investors who have been hesitant to enter the fray due to the ongoing lawsuit. This influx of new capital, coupled with renewed investor confidence, could ignite a buying frenzy, propelling XRP’s price significantly higher.
Technical Analysis: Bullish Signals and Breakout Potential:
Technical analysts scouring XRP’s charts have identified potential bullish signals hinting at an impending breakout. Price consolidation patterns and positive indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggest XRP might be coiling up for a significant upward move. While technical analysis shouldn’t be the sole factor in investment decisions, these signals add fuel to the fire of the “XRP March Madness” narrative.
Community Sentiment and FOMO (Fear of Missing Out):
The crypto community thrives on hype and social media buzz. If XRP experiences a significant price jump in March, a wave of FOMO could propel the price even further. News outlets and social media influencers amplifying the narrative could create a self-fulfilling prophecy, attracting new investors eager not to miss out on the potential gains.
A Word of Caution: The Looming Dump Threat and Whale Activity:
While the prospect of a 25x surge is undoubtedly enticing, investors should remain cautious. Recent on-chain data reveals large transfers of XRP to cryptocurrency exchanges. This activity can be interpreted in two ways: either a prelude to a massive breakout or a worrying sign of whales (large holders) preparing to dump their XRP holdings, potentially causing a significant price drop.
Investing in XRP: Weighing Risk and Reward:
The potential March 2024 breakout for XRP presents a classic high-risk, high-reward scenario. A successful resolution of the SEC lawsuit and a confluence of positive factors could lead to explosive growth. However, the ongoing legal battle and the uncertainty surrounding whale activity inject significant risk into the equation. Investors with a high-risk tolerance and a strong understanding of the cryptocurrency market dynamics might consider XRP as a potential investment. However, thorough research, careful portfolio allocation, and a healthy dose of caution are paramount before diving in.
Stagnant Price, Shaky Future?
While the broader cryptocurrency market experiences periods of explosive growth and heart-stopping dips, XRP remains largely unmoved. This price stagnation has led some to question XRP’s viability as an investment.
A Potential Monster Awakening?
However, some analysts believe XRP could be on the verge of a monstrous breakout. Should the SEC lawsuit be settled favorably for Ripple, XRP’s price could potentially surge by a staggering 25x or more. This scenario, while enticing, is far from guaranteed.
Whale Activity and the Dumping Specter:
Adding another layer of intrigue, recent on-chain data reveals large transfers of XRP to cryptocurrency exchanges. This activity could be interpreted in two ways: either a potential prelude to a massive breakout or a worrying sign of whales preparing to dump their XRP holdings, further depressing the price.
Is XRP Worth the Risk?
The current situation surrounding XRP presents a classic risk-reward scenario. A successful resolution of the SEC lawsuit could lead to explosive growth, but the uncertainty surrounding the legal battle makes XRP a gamble at best. Investors seeking more stable or demonstrably growing investment opportunities may be better off looking elsewhere.
Final Thoughts:
XRP remains a sleeping giant, but whether it awakens as a majestic beast or simply crumbles to dust is a question only time, and the ongoing legal saga, will answer. Investors should approach XRP with extreme caution and conduct thorough research before making any investment decisions. Remember, in the world of cryptocurrency, sometimes the biggest risks lead to the biggest rewards, but they can also lead to the biggest losses.
SEO Keywords: XRP, Ripple Labs, SEC lawsuit, cryptocurrency, March 2024, breakout, institutional investors, technical analysis, FOMO, whale activity, investment, risk-reward, high-risk tolerance, portfolio allocation.

I think we need to talk more about how in the Pokémon anime, the ability Battle Bond allows you to feel your Pokémon’s pain in battle, and if the Pokémon faints, you faint.
That’s seriously fucked.
Pokémon are a lot sturdier than humans and they seem to like battling (if they didn’t, they’d kill their trainers and leave) but humans are weak and squishy. They’re not supposed to be fighting like that, especially not competitively.
Is it ethical to use strong moves against a battle bonded Pokémon? Is it ethical to use dangerous/painful moves like Flamethrower or Thunderbolt against battle bonded Pokémon? Is it ethical to inflict status effects like poisoning or paralysis on a battle bonded Pokémon?
Why would you even fight against a battle bonded Pokémon if you know that its trainer can feel every chokeslam and stab wound you inflict on the Pokémon?

It's barely 9am yet and I'm so done with the day and with condescending surgeons who think anesthesia is stupid for asking for a surgical plan when apparently the one written down had nothing to do with the actual case
Sure sir, anesthesiologists are solely there in the OR for decorative purposes, we definitely don't need to know anything in advance, it's not like we could prepare for any complication anyway

I slept rly deeply last night even tho it took me a while to get to sleep but I think that was bc I had acid reflux and I'd been playing videogames too late not anything else.... still only got 6 hrs but doing pretty okay all things considered 😚
#and not feeling sick this morning so im sticking w the higher dose for one more day. my heart rate does feel a little uncomfortably fast#but its tolerable. just gonna make notes of how it goes through the day and ill submit my review form to my dr this evening#and hopefully she'll give me the green light to drop back down instead of continuing to titrate up#this is making me think of those heartrate fetishists... do u think i could make money selling tachycardic heart recordings online#i do wanna try to exercise this morning while i have energy. might take the bike out it looks like a gorgeously sunny day#maybe ill try to map my cycle route to work so i can consider cycling there instead of taking the bus in a couple weeks..#i cant atm thp cuz they have scaffolding up and its blocked off the bike racks sadly 😔#i think making myself eat + drink as much as i can has helped control the nausea too. just need a lot of fuel to process meds properly ig#and a lot of sleep.. its a bit stressful to think abt how rigid im going to have to be abt my daily routines if i want to stay medicated#but to be honest i have a pretty rock solid sleep/meal routine already bc its the only way i can function with the hours i work#so like. i dont rly need to worry too much. i think i reacted badly the first couple days bc my base anxiety was high#and then bc that feeling was heightened by meds -> made me not eat/sleep properly -> knock on sickness the next day#but yeah still the side effects arent very nice and i dont wanna take the risk of it exacerbating every difficult emotion i deal with#but fingers crossed bc 30 worked rly nice for me and i had barely any side effects so hopefully i can settle w that long term 🤞#we will see....#ANYWAY. sorry for making the same post over and over the last couple days. talking abt it on here has helped me feel a lot calmer#i dont wanna bother ppl irl w every thought and physical symptom i experience hourly. but this is my blog i can do what i want#hope everyone else has a nice sunday <3#.diaries

I appreciate my friends wanting to get together for the lunar new year and understand that an asian restaurant thus makes a lot of sense however
I just feel like I explain time and time again that my soy allergy makes east asian food one of if not the most difficult restaurant options, and time and time again that's brushed aside. "Oh there'll be something" I hear, and then we get there and it'll be like steamed plain rice and a basic salad with no dressing, at most.
Anyway they're insisting on a Japanese place this time and once again my reservations are being well and truly ignored.

What are they (maybe including Jay) like drunk? Have any major secrets been spoiled that way?
Antoine: Sure, secrets have been spilled. To me, not by me.
Jimmy: I don't think he gets drunk.
Antoine: New Orleans Moonshine'll do it. Sometimes. Or that stuff from Frank's still, that worked.
Frank: I told you, boy, that was not your momma's liquor.
Antoine: It was good! But. Wow.
Jimmy: Pretty bubbly, I guess? I don't drink with people too often. It's a security risk.
Frank: Maudlin. I don't drink much these days, but I do make a nice batch. ;) Every now and again I'll get the hankerin' to be properly shitfaced.
Riley: Yeah...
Mark: He'll fight God, the Devil, and his own damn reflection.
Riley: And win!
Mark: Suuuure. I don't drink much. If I get called in, I can't be whee-oooo, so the most I have is a glass of wine or a seltzer now and again.
Trent: Sleepy. Night-night, motherfuckers.
Riley: >-) I'm not saying I glued faked butterflies on his head. I'm just saying it happened once.
Trent: WITH SUPERGLUE, YOU LITTLE SHIT.
Riley: They came off.
Jason: Never been drunk. Had a shot, once--I asked Dove, to be a smartass, right? My mistake--but my dad was...he wasn't too bad, when he was around and sober, but he was a dickish drunk.

having a medical issue that dulls your ability to feel certain types of pain is only cool in fiction. in real life it just makes it extra hard to tell if you need to go to the doctor right now, or if you can just walk it off.
#messed up my foot and i can't tell if it's something serious or just a 'stay off it as much as you can for a few days' type of issue#like do i go in and risk paying a doctor to just tell me to ice it and chill out#or do i risk leaving it alone but woops! it was actually serious and now i have permanent damage from walking on it all this time#i've got like weird nerve damage/issues that honestly just has doctors going 'huh that's weird'#and it might explain some of my stupidly high pain tolerance (but only certain types)#but it makes it really frustrating once i need to make the 'do i go to the doctor about this?' decision#like some things that would have people shrieking in intense pain are just like 'hmm i feel...a weird tingling. some kind of pressure maybe#but this actually doesn't help me at all because the whole 'Ahhhhh!!!' pain reaction is to get you to STOP the thing#big old 'danger! danger! hit the brakes you are about to incur serious damage! turn back now!'#except my stupid nervous system is the good old 'nah i think it was just the wind' idiot who dies first in the horror movie#but sometimes i'm like 'oh yeah this is definitely weird i should go to the doctor'#and then the doctor is like 'yeah you just twisted your ankle you'll be fine'#so all this does is fuck up my ability to tell how injured i really am#and they don't even know how i got this or if it's genetic or the result of an old injury or whatever#they just ran a bunch of tests and like gauged my response to pain stimulus#and concluded that yeah it's weird but not gonna kill me so bye#it's not like doctors are jumping to make me feel more pain#i'm not aware of anybody going 'hey doc i would like to feel more pain. i feel like i'm not feeling enough of that stuff'#just not a thing u can ask. also at this point i don't really want to feel it?#like ppl describe the types of pain i can't feel right as really bad so uh no thanks

people are so rude about those really nice temporary tattoos that look decently real. "just get a real one" as if there aren't a million reasons why someone wouldn't want/be able to get a real one. it doesn't just boil down to someone being a "fake poser"

The Handlers get the shittiest deal out of everyone in Blackreach, as not even death will be enough to excuse you from carrying out the will of the council. That ritualistic execution doled out to Handlers that get "too old" is but a trojan horse for a spell that will enable newly minted shrine-maids to summon them at will.
Imagine living as a guy who's job includes infanticide, blinding people with boiling water, and feeding bodies to carnivorous fungus for up to sixteen hours a day. Do that for up to some thirty odd years, then your bosses organize your gory demise at the hands of your coworkers. If they like you, your death will hurt less. After that's over, you are still a Handler but now you answer to a scared child who's in the process of earning a job marginally preferable to yours.

2024 The Wild World of Meme Coins: A Look at 12 Popular Tokens
New Post has been published on https://www.ultragamerz.com/2024-the-wild-world-of-meme-coins-a-look-at-12-popular-tokens/
2024 The Wild World of Meme Coins: A Look at 12 Popular Tokens
The Wild World of Meme Coins: A Look at 12 Popular Tokens
$DOGE $FLOKI $SLERF $DUKO $MFER $PENG $BOME $CANDLE $TROLL $MUMU $Hege $Mong
The cryptocurrency market can be a serious business, but there’s also a lighter side fueled by internet humor and virality. Enter meme coins – cryptocurrencies inspired by internet memes and online jokes. While they may lack the perceived utility of other crypto projects, meme coins can experience explosive growth thanks to community hype and social media trends. Let’s take a deep dive into 12 of the most popular meme coins, exploring their origins, functionalities, and potential:
<blockquote class=”twitter-tweet”><p lang=”en” dir=”ltr”>Which one will you Buy during this dip?<a href=”https://twitter.com/search?q=%24DOGE&src=ctag&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>$DOGE</a><a href=”https://twitter.com/search?q=%24FLOKI&src=ctag&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>$FLOKI</a><a href=”https://twitter.com/search?q=%24SLERF&src=ctag&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>$SLERF</a><a href=”https://twitter.com/search?q=%24DUKO&src=ctag&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>$DUKO</a><a href=”https://twitter.com/search?q=%24MFER&src=ctag&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>$MFER</a><a href=”https://twitter.com/search?q=%24PENG&src=ctag&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>$PENG</a><a href=”https://twitter.com/search?q=%24BOME&src=ctag&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>$BOME</a><a href=”https://twitter.com/search?q=%24CANDLE&src=ctag&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>$CANDLE</a><a href=”https://twitter.com/search?q=%24TROLL&src=ctag&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>$TROLL</a><a href=”https://twitter.com/search?q=%24MUMU&src=ctag&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>$MUMU</a></p>— Elon Musk (Parody) (@ElonMuskPDA) <a href=”https://twitter.com/ElonMuskPDA/status/1783102815017308291?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>April 24, 2024</a></blockquote> <script async src=”https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js” charset=”utf-8″></script>
1. Dogecoin (DOGE) – The OG Doggo Coin (https://dogecoin.com/) Dogecoin, the granddaddy of meme coins, features the iconic Shiba Inu dog from the “Doge” meme. Launched in 2013 as a joke by Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer, Dogecoin gained mainstream popularity with tweets from Elon Musk and garnered a passionate community known as the “Doge Army.” DOGE has limited functionality beyond being a medium of exchange, but its cultural significance and strong community backing have fueled its success.
2. Floki Inu (FLOKI) – Taking Over for Doge? (https://floki.com/) Capitalizing on the Shiba Inu theme, Floki Inu claims to be the “son of Doge” and has gained traction with its association with Elon Musk’s dog of the same name. FLOKI aims to be more than just a meme coin, offering features like an NFT marketplace, a play-to-earn game, and a charitable arm. However, its long-term success hinges on the execution of its development roadmap and maintaining community interest.
3. Slurp ($SLERF) – All About the Memes (https://blockworks.co/) Slurp embraces the meme culture with a constantly evolving mascot, often featuring internet-famous characters and references. The project prioritizes fun and community engagement, hosting regular contests and giveaways. SLERF has limited real-world use cases beyond being a community token, but its focus on fun and lightheartedness could attract users seeking a more light-hearted crypto experience.
4. Ducky Inu (DUKO) – Quacking its Way into Crypto (https://www.duckychannel.com.tw/) DUKO features a cute duck character and aims to provide a fun and easy entry point for new crypto users. The project offers a decentralized exchange (DEX) and a staking platform within the Binance Smart Chain ecosystem. However, DUKO faces stiff competition from established DEX platforms, and its long-term success relies on attracting and retaining a loyal user base.
5. Mothership (MFER) – Bringing the Memes to DeFi (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/mothership/) MFER takes a different approach, utilizing the “Mfers” meme within a Decentralized Finance (DeFi) ecosystem. The MFER token grants access to a platform offering various DeFi features like staking, governance, and potential future NFT integration. While the project holds promise for DeFi enthusiasts, its success hinges on attracting users who value both the meme aspect and the DeFi functionalities.
6. Penguin Finance (PENG) – Waddling into the Market (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/penguincoin-old/) PENG features a penguin mascot and focuses on building a decentralized exchange (DEX) within the Binance Smart Chain ecosystem. Unlike some meme coins with limited functionality, PENG offers a real-world use case for users seeking alternative trading platforms. However, the success of PENG relies heavily on the overall adoption and liquidity of its DEX platform.
7. Bombshell (BOME) – Making a Big Bang (https://www.wsj.com/articles/bitcoin-blockchain-hacking-arrests-93a4cb29)
BOME utilizes a sexy anime character as its mascot and aims to create a fun and engaging community around its token. The project has plans for an NFT marketplace, a play-to-earn game, and its own anime series. However, BOME faces criticism for its reliance on a potentially exclusionary mascot and the ambitiousness of its development roadmap.
8. Candle (CANDLE) – Burning Bright in the Memeverse (https://www.candlestick.io/)
CANDLE features a simple candle chart as its logo and focuses on building a sustainable meme coin through a deflationary token model. A portion of every transaction is burned, reducing the total supply of CANDLE tokens over time, which some believe can increase its value. However, the effectiveness of this model in a volatile market like meme coins remains to be seen.
9. TrollCoin (TROLL) – Feeding the Online Antics (https://www.coinbase.com/price/trollcoin)
TROLL uses the “trolling” meme as its inspiration and aims to create a fun and engaging community for internet pranksters. The project has limited real-world use cases beyond being a community token, but its focus on humor and lightheartedness could resonate with users seeking a more playful crypto experience.
10. Mumu the Bull (MUMU) – A Bovine Take on Meme Coins
Mumu the Bull (MUMU) takes a unique approach to the meme coin space by featuring a bullish character instead of the more common dog theme. Inspired by the “Mumu the Bull” meme, popular within the crypto community as a symbol of bullish market sentiment, MUMU aims to capitalize on this positive association.
The project has plans for a decentralized exchange (DEX) and a yield-generating mechanism for MUMU holders. However, the long-term success of Mumu the Bull hinges on the execution of its development roadmap and attracting users who see value in its specific meme and its functionalities.
11. Hege Coin (HEGE) – Inspired by a Controversial Figure (https://coinmarketcap.com/dexscan/solana/CJcu7ciRHBHu4BDnpLgAUm1A6iSp9RuhJMG36rjjrxnd/)
HEGE is a more controversial meme coin, inspired by a historical figure. While the inspiration can be a source of community engagement, it can also raise ethical concerns and potentially limit its mainstream appeal. It’s crucial to conduct thorough research on the project’s background and community before investing in HEGE.
12. MongCoin (MONG) – Bringing Memes to the Real World (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/mongcoin/)
MONG aims to bridge the gap between the meme coin world and real-world applications, focusing on charity and social good. The project partners with various charities and donates a portion of its transaction fees to support them. MONG offers a unique approach within the meme coin space, potentially attracting investors seeking to combine meme culture with social impact.
Important Note: Meme coins are inherently risky investments due to their high volatility and lack of underlying utility. Always conduct thorough research before investing in any cryptocurrency, and consider your risk tolerance. The information provided here is for informational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice.

We're in another covid wave!!
I'll give eight main things to do that I think are really important at this point ~
1. If you have covid, please quarantine to the best of your ability until you test negative. You are still contagious as long you are testing positive, not just the first five days.
2. If you have covid, please try to get in touch with everyone you've had contact with the past 5 days and let them know. This lets them take appropriate precautions around the other folks in their lives.
3. Once you're testing negative again, be careful not to overexert yourself. Listen to your body; if, after exertion, you find symptoms returning (eg fever, lots of fatigue) that means you overdid it and should scale back. Be very cautious about returning to full activity level. This is to prevent post-exertional malaise as a symptom of long covid.
4. If you've been exposed to covid, assume you're a question mark and possibly-covid-positive for the first five days after exposure. Let folks that you're spending time with know about your exposure before getting together, so they can choose their risk level in terms of if they're comfortable spending time with you, if they want you to wear a mask, if they want to wear a mask, etc.
5. If you have symptoms or have been exposed to covid, wear a mask in public. This should be KN-95, N-95, or KF-94 level quality, not a cloth or surgical mask.
6. If you're having symptoms, or have been exposed to covid, and *especially* if both - remember that tests right at the beginning have a high rate of false negatives. When I had covid, I tested negative on both rapid and PCR tests my first two days of having symptoms. It wasn't until the third day, when I no longer even had a fever but just cold symptoms, that I finally tested positive. Please don't just test the day after exposure and assume you're fine.
7. If you haven't gotten this year's booster shot yet, go get it ASAP.
8. Even if you're not symptomatic and haven't been exposed, strongly consider wearing a mask again in public places like stores and transit, and at larger/more crowded gatherings.
Remember, people have a variety of risk tolerances, for a variety of reasons. Some folks are immunocompromised so their vaccine doesn't protect them as well as yours protects you. Some people have conditions that increase the chances of a severe case. Some people can't risk long covid because of existing disabilities and precarious life situations. Some people are not high-risk themselves but have regular contact with folks who are. These folks all deserve to be able to keep themselves safe and make choices about the level of covid risk in their lives.

people are like “everyone has different levels of tolerance for risk ❤️ no one can tell you to take on a risk that you don’t want to take on” and while I generally think that’s true, I also do think there are risks slight enough and stakes high enough that it is in fact morally encumbent on you to take them

Big Guy Big Belly
König is a big man, and with a big man comes a big appetite. We’re talking about a 6’10 man constantly maintaining his peak physique. He needs to be consuming as many calories and as much protein, carbs, fats, fiber and more to keep himself in fit and fighting shape.
At the canteen, he’s a nightmare. I bet that people rush to the cafeteria just to make sure they get something to eat before the big man on base rolls up. He’ll clear out the bins if he gets a chance. There’s a rumour on base that the reason König fought so hard to climb the ranks so quickly was just to be able to eat more and get away with it. Little do they know that they’re absolutely right, but König will never say that out loud. Ever. There’s some secrets you take to your grave. 
Either way, König is a menace in the canteen. He’ll pile his plate as high as he can when he gets a chance. He’s packing away all he can get in the shortest amount of time he can, and everyone has to suffer for it. The worst part is that everyone has to rush to get to the caf before König, and König knows exactly what others are doing, so he’s in a daily race against the entire base to eat his fill. It’s always a photo-finish to see who gets to the cafeteria first.  König currently has been slacking, so he’s not been eating like he normally has. Is he mad? Not really. He’ll clean out the snack cart later. 
He’s a monster late at night. Everyone knows that you need to leave the big man to his snacks, lest you face the wrath of the colossus on base. Well, wrath in a peculiar way. He just gets quiet and angry, but it’s still not a fun experience to try and fight him for a sandwich. If you take the last egg salad sandwich you’ll be at the top of his shit list for the next week. Don’t even think he won’t track you down. He’ll throw around his rank just to get his hands on the poor bastard. Nobody is safe, either.
Stiletto only once took the last pudding cup. Once. She never made that mistake again. For a week he was giving her dirty looks over a cold shoulder as he bumbled down the hall. She eventually had to give in and sacrifice a desert to be able to get back in his good graces. She still thinks he’s a massive bitch because of it. And you know what? She’s right. Everybody knows she’s right, König included, but he’ll keep going after whoever ‘steals’ ‘his’ snacks. They get along a bit better now that they’ve both advanced in rank and worked together, but there was a good period of time where Stiletto had to sleep with one eye open.
It gets a bit better for everyone when König finally finds a partner and doesn’t stay on base so often. Everyone takes a moment to pray for the poor soul who has to cook for König whenever he gets home from deployment.
See, during deployment, König can’t be such a massive bitch about food. He gets his rations, and that’s that. He can’t steal from anybody else, so he gets stuck with these pitiful MREs that barely fill him up. It’s miserable, and he’s losing weight like crazy when on the field. He’s running on fumes and burning calories like crazy as he’s risking his life out there. It’s gotten to a point where König has taken to eating with hostages post-rescue to ‘help them feel safer’ (read: get more food into his gullet). Thankfully, he puts his best foot forward when dealing with victims of trauma and ensures that he has somebody else do all the socializing while he plays with the kids after dinner. Apparently, after the inevitable shower of tears whenever kids have to face König, he becomes pretty popular. They love to use him as a jungle gym (and make fun of him) and he’s just happy to get more to eat. He’ll take being called ‘bigger than even my dad!’, being told ‘you’re weird’ or being asked ‘why are you so big and scary all the time?’ any day for a little extra to eat. He can tolerate a few kids. He won’t ever admit that hanging around them makes him want some kids of his own, or at least not to Horangi, who’s already teasing König about being a surrogate father to the kids. König tells him to keep it to himself, but Horangi is already buying things for the baby shower.
Once König finally comes home, that’s when all Hell breaks loose. This man has been starving and he needs food NOW. He won’t take no for an answer. If you don’t have something prepared, he’ll be ordering a massive order of takeout the likes of which you’ve never seen before in your life. He’ll hit multiple places on his way back to your place if he doesn’t think you’ve been able to get something together for him. If you can’t cook, he won’t even bother telling you to cook for him and just focus on getting a whole banquet of junk food ready for when he arrives home. He brings the pizzas in the door before he even brings in his own bags. You’ll have to go out and grab his bag as he sets up his personal buffet table. The worst part is despite how much he can shove down, he always buys more than he can eat, so you’ve got a couple of days worth of food to shove in the fridge at the end of the night.
If you can cook, this is a multi-day experience. Is it rewarding? Absolutely. Is it painful? Abso-fucking-lutely. He’s got you slaving for hours a day just to get him a nice home cooked meal. You’ll be going all out to get him a big enough meal. We’re thinking a tray of mac and cheese, a whole roast chicken, easily a handful of loaded baked potatoes. If you have something from your traditional cuisine, he’s not picky, he’ll gobble it up in a heartbeat. Knowing you made it for him is more than enough for him. Food is the way to a man’s heart, some say, and König will never let you go if you treat him like the king he is.
The good thing about cooking König such a big meal is that he gives back. He’s not a fan of cooking, but for the next few days he’ll take over cooking and cleaning in the kitchen. It’s just an easy way for him to give back, you know? He can’t thank you enough with words, so why not with actions?
But the best part of König giving back is that he’s an excellent cook. He cooks mostly traditional food from his culture, but he’s down for some french or italian cooking if you’re into it. He can make a mean lasagne. He does not skimp on the cheese, this man. No he’s a cheese fiend. If you’re lactose intolerant, you’ve got another thing coming for you. He will hand feed you lactaid just for the meal. If you have a dietary restriction, he’ll learn how to cook your types of meals in abundance. He’s perfect that way. Vegetarian, vegan, keto, no matter what, he’s got your back. He’s learned how to make an excellent spread for a dinner party, and part of learning to cater to others is to work around other people’s diets; his mother drilled that rule into his little head as a kid. He does it without complaint, too. For at least a week after coming home, he’s just so happy to be around food in abundance again. He’s absolutely thriving in the kitchen before the thrill wears off and he’s back to avoiding cooking like the plague again.
He loves to eat, but usually hates to cook. He’ll mostly eat takeout until he actually has to eat a nutritious meal again for a change. It’s not that cooking is awful, it’s just that he hates doing the dishes. He’d be far more inclined if he didn’t have to do the dishes afterwards. If you take over dishes, he’ll definitely step up his game for the both of you.
All in all, König loves to eat. He’s a big man with a bigger appetite, as hard as that is to believe. Once he retires he has to learn to cut back a fair bit, but he never loses his taste for sweets and snacks. It’s just something you’ll have to learn to live with.
