woke up and someone spilled vanilla extract all over my dash, so as punishment you strange little beasties are getting all the VANILLA FACTS i know:
vanilla is the 2nd most expensive spice in the world (2nd to saffron)
which is why more than 99% of what we call "vanilla extract" is actually vanillin (vanilla's dominant flavor compound) and is not extracted from real vanilla.
luckily, even professionals struggle to tell the difference when it comes to things like baked goods. but there is a distinct difference in non-heat treated products like vanilla ice cream. real vanilla has a more complex, individualized flavor profile.
why is vanilla so expensive? because it is a ridiculously delicate & demanding crop. complete primadonna.
vanilla beans come from vanilla orchids. these crazy flowers bloom for A SINGLE DAY and have to be HAND-POLLINATED in a process that is exhausting, delicate, and requires specialist knowledge passed down over generations.
then, if you're lucky, you get vanilla beans.
which then require months of further specialized treatment.
the entire process takes about a year and can go wrong at any stage

vanilla has been cultivated for over 800 years (possibly much longer). the first known cultivators are the Totonac, an indigenous people of Mexico.
the Aztecs used it as a sweetener to balance out the bitter taste of cocoa. it was popular in a drink called xocolatl--the precursor to modern hot chocolate!
it is only pollinated by a very specific orchid bee!!!
which is why no fruit could be grown outside of Mexico until the 1800s
Edmond Albius, born into slavery, invented the pollination method we still use today--launching a global industry when he was just 12 years old.
today, the majority of the world's vanilla is grown in Madagascar
if you want real vanilla, read the labels carefully--it's harder to find than you think!

in conclusion, those tiny black specks you see in fancy vanilla ice cream? those are vanilla bean seeds! itty bitty orchid seeds!!! they are delicious and also a PRISSY BITCH!

thinking about how when toji first meets you, he quickly decides he just has to have you. you're so timid and sweet— just his type.
he has to give you credit though, because you make it hard work for him, but he's relentless perseverant and eventually gets you into his bed.
and he's surprised to find that you're a completely different person between the sheets.
you're grabbing him by the face roughly and spitting into his mouth while you fuck yourself down onto his cock.
you're telling him he's pathetic, that he's not even a good fuck (the way your pussy clenches around him tells him you're lying).
and he's so confused because while this has never really been his thing, he's so fucking hard it hurts.
"wanna smack your pretty face, that okay?"
you ask so sweetly that he can't help but nod before he even has a chance to consider what he's agreeing to.
when your palm meets his cheek and leaves his skin tinted pink, he's so embarrassed that his hips buck up and he comes much sooner than he'd have liked.
"aw. you liked it that much, baby?" you coo at him. "maybe i'll keep you around after all. how's that sound, hm?"

Hello! 🦠 anon here again... I'm not sure if my ask wast sent so im gonna ask again,
What are your headcanons on swatch? Can you tell more of your concept of them? Like how do you view him? I would really appreciate it even it's like small fun facts! thanks a lot :)
you're fine i didn't have art to post so i didn't log in for a few days. uhhhhhh SwatchThoughts(tm):
they're the head butler ofc, but they're also queen's right-hand-man (gender neutral), her #1 bestie. they know everything about her, even about lancer before the events of ch2. they will literally do anything she asks and anything that will entertain her. it's tiring and they do complain sometimes but they enjoy their work, they know what a kind person she really is and that she's generally a good ruler, so they like to make her happy :)
weirdly competitive. nobody beats them in queen's monthly fruit-smashing competition and if you somehow do, they're a good sport but You Will Not Win Next Month. You Won't.
workaholic. oh god they wear so many hats in the mansion and they're so tired all the time, it's a miracle they get everything done
the color cafe is a regular butler cafe up front and a host club in the back. a handful of the birds, including swatch, can be paid (at quite high rates, swatch especially) to join you for drinks or sweets, flirt with you, cuddle - p much have a sweet and lightly romantic time. you would not believe how much money spamton dumped into the host club back in the day. their undisputed #1 customer even 20 years later
i generally view them as very asexual (demi specifically. + nonbinary) but they still love their host work! it's fun, they like making people happy and playing at being a romantic. and the sweets. they like the sweets just as much 🍰
damn good chef and an even better baker
very polite but short tempered 😔 they're quick to rough up people who don't follow the rules or who just personally annoy them/cause chaos, and they always win
they are the tallest swatchling, at 9 feet tall. Beast. good for carrying queen on their broad shoulders though!
their feathers, which are all slightly curly, have a slight iridescence to them that tint, along with accents on their outfit, in accordance to their mood or the paint they've been drinking . the default is pink
dressed to the nines 24/7. even on their time off.
they adore their birds. they spawned each and every single one of them (the ones in their own flock that work for queen, anyway), they know all their names even when everyone's the same color and they remember what's going on in their lives. which is impressive when there's at least a couple hundred of them ;;;
their favorite flavor of paint is dusty lilac
their favorite normal flavor is strawberry
as an art program they not only create things for lightners but also for queen ! they design a lot of things for her with her input, and with as quickly as they can draw things directly into the dark world they're always working on things for her, while dressing up their cafe for themed events in-between.
the underside of their tail is a swatchbook
they love being pet please pet them please please please p
#deltarune#swatch#ask#anonymous#anon#swatchlings#headcanons#its fun to make headcanon lists. its also an excuse to link a bunch of old art dhjdsbfhj#i've drawn like half of this already but it's nice to have it all together like this#tldr they're a big sweetie but with a short temper and a bad sweet tooth. and they're drawing near-constantly#i'm sure there's a bunch of really obscure little headcanons i could throw in here but if i list every single one of them i can hunt down#this post will be 2 miles long#shit like 'they love really frilly dresses' and 'they have exactly one (1)stuffed animal their birds gave them they pretend they dont Adore#(its a floppy little bottom-heavy plush crow with button eyes. one of the swatchlings made it for the host club's sleepover event.)#(cinnamon thought the customers would like it better seeing all these huge birdfolk with cute little stuffed animal buds. and she was Right#(and swatch just. never got rid of it. they love their little floppy guy look at that their bird made that for them they gave it a bowtie)#it sits on the headboard of their bed so it doesn't get lost among the blankets they nest in. -- swatchlings sleep in nests also#huge nests made of blankets and pillows. let them loose in a Homegoods and just see what fucking happens#see what i mean i can just keep fucking going forever. this is the shit i think about when im like. doing dishes#this is what i mean when i say i'm rotating my blorbos in my head#thinkin bout random ass headcanons that dont have anything to do with the source material. they're just fun. for funsies :)

Our newest collection, "Bittersweet Spring Aroma", is live now!
Tumblr media
↓ Long post with all the designs below↓ 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Hanami Day" [Jogger] [Midi] [Skater]
This design is inspired by the feeling of sakura viewing ("hanami") on a clear spring day! The background has a slight gradient from pastel to sky blue, with a cascade of pink flowers and petals on top.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Flower Pop" [Skater] [Maxi]
This design was a total wildcard that seemingly came out of nowhere. (Possession by the spirit of the '60s?!) I was imagining an abstracted scene of sakura trees, flowers, and a spring breeze. It's one of the most vibrant and out there designs I've ever made!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Neon Blossom" [Maxi] [Joggers] [Midi]
I love a solid black plus one vibrant color design. Things like this were my go-to style back in my Hot Top*c Mall Goth days. So ya know I had to make at least one sakura design with this aesthetic in mind.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Petal" [Midi] [Skater]
I wanted to include a couple solids in this collection, so of course one needed to be a delicate cherry blossom pink. Makes me want sakura mochi...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Matcha" [Maxi] [Midi]
You've gotta have slightly bitter, rich matcha to compliment all this sweet sakura! The second solid color for this collection is inspired by matcha tea, and I think it'd make a great neutral green to pair with lots of items in both spring and fall.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Sakura Cake Soap" [Handmade Soap]
By @breadborks
Along the same sakura + matcha lines, here's the first of our collab items for this collection!! A soap that both looks & smells tasty enough to eat (but watch out!) Each soap will also come with an adorable matching sakura bunny sticker~
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Sakura Latte" [Midi] [Joggers]
I honestly couldn't get enough of this color palette, so I went for a colorblock type design inspired by layered sakura matcha lattes! If only I could have one right now~~
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"BLOOM Green Tea" + "Angel Aura Quartz Tea Strainers"
[Tea] [Tea Strainers]
By Night Rituals Occult (on IG)
With all the tea & floral themes in this collection, I knew I wanted to be able to feature an actual floral tea!! (Plus I just LOVE tea, I have 2 cabinets in my kitchen just for tea)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Uzuki" [Maxi] [Joggers]
The sketch for this design (last pic) was done allll the way back in like February of last year, and it's the idea that ultimately spawned this whole collection. I'm so excited to finally be able to bring it to life.
Tumblr media
"The Unwatered - Cherry Blossom Succulent Candle"
[Handmade Candle]
By &Ivy (on Twitter and IG)
These gorgeous custom terrarium candles were were beautifully crafted with colors inspired by sakura season & infused with a bright, floral cherry blossom aroma. Another perfect collab compliment to the collection!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Hanami Night" [Joggers] [Midi] [Skater]
A night sakura viewing inspired design to end things off!! Everything is live now, so be sure to go check it all out while most items are still available! See you there~
