Single customer.

sometimes I think about him...the big moomin I saw in a moomin cafe somewhere in Tokyo.

The "anti-lonliness" Moomin Bakery & Cafe where you could eat your meal with a giant plush Moomin closed earlier this year, and I am definitely not crying about it.

December 2nd - Upsi-Daisy

Day 2!!! The second one was "Upsi-Daisy" - a very delicate white tea with grapefruit and stawberry. I didnt really taste the fruit that much but white tea always has a very soft flavour. Refeshing after the bitterness that came with yesterdays black tea ^_^

"Yayyyyyyyy it's your birthday Eddy!"

"Sorry I missed it because of my date, but look what I got you!"

She presents him with a covered tray and lifts the lid with a flourish on his kitchen table.

"Ta-da! I made it myself!"

It's a beautifully elaborate cake, but small enough to share for two.

"Oh, the gold foil's edible too. Hurry up and eat it with me since the center's made of ice cream. I made that too of course, hehe!"

Besides that, she stuffs a...plushie into his arms? Except this time it's not some fancy limited edition merch, but a customized, connected plush of Ark and Eiden holding hands.

"This is one of a kind," Mary Sue adds with pride. "I sewed it myself and it's waaaaaay better than any stuff you can get from stores! Look, I even included the special sheen in Ark's irises with special metallic thread!"

Hopefully that makes up for her being a day late! Dates are Serious Business, after all.

" Hehee! No problem! Sometimes you just have to do stuff right--- "

" Ahh, more cake huh? It does look great though for real! "

Well, it's better to get it now than yesterday, he might have collapsed on the spot otherwise. Ice cream makes a great change of pace though. And it does look pretty!

The plushie however catches him totally offguard. The seams and the details are all so clean it might as well be an official thing. In hands it feels warm and soft. Eiden's eyes definitely light up there.

" Man I should up my sewing game too, this is so cool!!! You sure got skills...."

He squeezes it tight.

"Thanks a whole bunch! The ice cream sounds great for the weather huh! You mind carrying it, let's eat it with this guy on the table with us haha! There's other treats too if you want to try out--- "

strawberry shortcake au!

i can't believe i'm actually going to bother you with my recurring hyperfixation, but here we go,folks!

world building:

This Pinescone au is based on the 80s Strawberry Shortcake series. but with some modifications that I made to adapt to the au and the characters and at the same time taking elements from the other reboots

In this version, Strawberryland is a quiet, remote small town where the tiny habitants spend all seasons harvesting their fruits and vegetables. At the pace of the series, there will be no villains, but there will only be simple problems in the town that end well in the end. (like the children's series of those times. Take reference from My Little Pony (the first generations), the Moomins, the Smurfs)

All the habitants are smaller than fruits, each one has their own job or house in a shape of a sweet (like a cake house, etc.). and each inhabitant is characterized by its fruit flavor and aroma. what makes them unique and differentiable

Everyone in Strawberryland has a specific skill in cooking. (For example, Wirt specializes in the sweets served in cafes.)

There are other towns depending on the flavor and taste (a vegetable town, another of flour, another of ice cream) but Strawberryland focuses on fruits.

pinescone headcanons:

They both met like it happens in the 80s series, except that Dipper would get lost trying to find the town and Wirt would offer him a hand. (just look at the damn video and imagine wirt and dipper singing this adorably!. don't tell me this is not a big deal)

2. Wirt runs a coffee shop in the village and lives there. It is his home and his coffee shop at the same time.

3. (NOT DECIDED YET) Dipper being a strawberry his sister Mabel is a blueberry. Together they are the Berry twins (Help I don't know what fruit to give Mabel I'm between blueberry, cherry, raspberry or like the canonical sister in the 80s series "Apple Dumplings". I need help with this part). Mabel specializes in cooking with excessive sugar dishes and is also the town's fashion designer.

4. Mabel forces Dipper to wear the clothes she creates for Dipper. Dipper is embarrassed and frustrated to walk around the town like that. Wirt finds it adorable and cute, and is always curious to know what cute clothes Dipper will wear.

5.Wirt loves cooking for Dipper, it's one of his favorite things because he loves every tender expression of joy that the little strawberry puts on when trying his new and improved desserts.

6.Wirt has the personality of a spoiled and affectionate mother. She loves her friends very much (especially Dipper) and will show her affection through actions.

7.Dipper is considered Wirt's favorite customer at the cafeteria. He sometimes helps him taste his new or improved desserts.

8.They both give each other affectionate nicknames, Dipper is "little strawberry" and Wirt is "orange pie"

9. Dipper doesn't know how to cook, every single thing he cooks burns. It's considered weird not to know how to cook or specialize in a recipe in Strawberryland. But Dipper doesn't care, his true talent is writing. He writes diaries and books and works for the town newspaper (the poor thing has a lot of writer block)

10.Wirt tries to suppress the desire to kiss and pinch those chubby, pink cheeks that the strawberry has. He is so adorable that sometimes he can't control himself.

11. They both like each other, Wirt knows his feelings perfectly while Dipper still doesn't admit it. They both didn't declare themselves for fear of ruining their friendship.

12.Wirt writes music and poetry in his freetime, he shares it with Dipper after closing at night. All his poems and music are dedicated to Dipper but he doesn't realize it yet.

13.Dipper is very absent-minded and clumsy lol

that's all you can go now pipipipi
