Larry x Kabu (AoKabu, Blueturnipshipping) headcanons/rambles who cheered!!

- the name 'blueturnipshipping' is being coined by me!!! If there is another wildly used name I would like to know, but my reason for choosing that ship name is because when combined, Ao and Kabu translates to 'blue turnip' (at least, when using machine translation. If it translates differently I would like to know!!!!)

- Kabu, especially in his youth, was seen as quite attractive due to his physical fitness and general attitude on the battlefield. Paired with being a celebrity he was likely sought after frequently. He mentions it very rarely in passing but isn't something he likes to bring up, both from general politeness/being humble and also because a good chunk of those pursuing him were parasocial due to his status. It happens a lot less now due to his age, since he doesn't use social media he doesn't see how there are some people online who make negative comments about him being past his prime. Even so he still has that latent feeling of having peaked, stemming from his previous stumbling in his career as a gym leader.

- Larry probably hasn't experienced being desired in the same capacity as Kabu. Being a gym leader and elite four member doesn't get you much prestige in Paldea due to having less money within the League and a lack of celebrity culture in Paldea for the league. The only exceptions to this are people who are famous for things outside of their position as a gym leader, like Iono with her streaming career. As this is something Larry doesn't have, he isn't on nearly as wide a stage. He's also not particularly 'handsome' in the sense that he isn't well built or looks like a model, so while he has had experience dating and being sought after it's generally not very common and definitely became rarer as he got older. Thats partially because of him being extremely busy as well, not just from his age/looks.

- Kabu is extremely outwardly passionate about battling, something that Larry admires and partially envies. Larry also has a passion for it- he wouldn't be a double member of the League otherwise- but due to working two positions and having an office job he's worn thin and has lost that 'spark' that made him really enjoy battling in the first place. Kabu reignites that in him.

- Kabu greatly appreciates Larry's ability to ignore how others think about him. Kabu isn't self conscious per se, but you do end up taking on some level of concern about your appearance/attitude/actions/etc when you're a celebrity and scrutinized 24/7.

- Kabu is canonically from Hoenn and I headcanon Larry as being from Johto due to his Dudunsparce + how heavily based on the Japanese salaryman stereotype he is. Because of this they both bond over a shared appreciation for the similarities in their cuisine (I headcanon that hoenn has a heavier focus on seafood due to having a lot of ocean nearby, and the Kanto/Johto areas are more agriculture focused. However they are both based on Japan so there is overlap)

- Kabu is more prone to grand gestures of love. Think impressive dinners, big bouquets, if he's making you a meal it's going to be a full course meal. That sort of thing. His 'always do your best' attitude carries over into his love life, though he does try to tone it down as Larry can sometimes be overwhelmed by it.

- Larry, conversely, shows his love in smaller ways. He sees something at the store while buying groceries he thinks Kabu would like and gets it, and doesn't really say much about it. Sending texts on his break that are just simple reminders that he loves Kabu. They balance each other out.

- both of them are a little surprised to learn they like each other back. Larry because he views Kabu as completely out of his league, and Kabu because he would have thought his more fiery personality wouldn't have meshed very well with Larry's more muted one. Kabu has had experience in the past with having lovers originally fully enjoy how passionate it is before they got tired of it and found it overbearing; Larry is just always a bit surprised people actually like him outside of him being a generally fine coworker since he's constantly hearing from others that he's boring and not very fun.

N e wayz. I like sharing and I like answering questions!!! So if anyone sees this and is curious about other headcanons of mine for these two (even just individually, not just as a pair) then send me asks!!!! I don't bite :)

[lamperts-rokea]

It's headcanon time y'all (except I forgot to post them in a while so have the long list of Kas/fected hcs)

Kas/fected is the person to send un-tagged bouquets of flowers to his love interests

He eats a ton of sugar. Like, lethal amounts of pastriez especially eclairs and donuts and ice cream and SUGAR. He probably gulps down straight up sugar occasionally.

He's definitely stolen some of Lamperts possessions and keeps them in a small box in an undisclosed location in his home

He has a to do list on his fridge that he'll never get done (it's all just groceries)

He's used to noise so whenever he tries to go to sleep(WHEN he sleeps) he listens to music, rain or fan noise or he WILL NOT sleep.

Whenever his headphones die he does rage and break things

He has the Macarena dance memorized.

He has a lot more than just one picture of Lampert that are ALSO in the box. He has a **small** lamp onsessyoin/silly

He occasionally smokes out his blun7s on the elevator but not nearly as often as he used to because he was ridiculed for it being rude.

His favorite hangout spots apart from his apartment is the train station, the ROKEA, the Happy Home Party and the alleyway..

His least favorite spot is anywhere Unpleasant/MR is

If he were to main a character in Dandy's world it would be Vee(wowzers reference)

He's slightly lactose intolerant and gets bad stomachaches after eating such. He also can't eat seafood because he fucking vomitz

He got his drug addiction because he stole 'brownies' from Poob one time

Speaking of, yeah hes a fucking stoner

His favorite number is 93 for absolutely no fucking reason, it just is :3:3:3

One time he got a shipment of a fucking Lampert body pillow from an unknown deliverer. He doesn't use it but he hid it (it's probably in the box)

Infected wears tons of Kandi on his wrists always. Some of them are from Lampert, and he obviously doesn't know. But Lampert knows (:

Lampert n Kas had overnight calls at least once a week. Their longest record is 3 consecutive days and 6 hours before Lampetz phone turned off and imploded.

Kas/fected snores. Like, pretty loudly.

Kas tried to start a band one point.. it didn't work out though since he's not a professional electric guitar player.

He also tried to become a famous skateboarder, which also didn't work.

He has 729 subs on YouTube.

When he wakes up in the morning, he sounds like a heavy smoker that has been smoking for 53 years. (He technically has)

He usues ":3" unironically

He gets REALLLLYYY overstimulated easily and sometimes he breaks down doors to help himself... He's a bit violent

He watches a lot of those weird slime tutorials on YouTube when he's stressed, either that or he bullies kids online then says sorry afterwards

Despite him being the son of a FUCKING GOD, Wallter scares the shit out of him.

He bought an exact replica of MR and burned it in the alleyway X3

One of his main vocal stims is "orange cheesecake"

His favorite FNAF character is Nightmare Bonnie and his Halloween version.

He listened to ONE Taylor Swift song and decided that she's annoying and never listened to another one of her songs.

He's attempted to make those old animation memes, but it failed terribly.

His favorite old animation meme sounds are Opinions, Red Lips, and Cuz you Got That (please look them up plzplzplz)

He unironically watches Blues Clues for no reason except the nostalgia

Hello Kitty boy. He owns at least 7 hello kitty things.

If Kasper hears "the store is now closed, please exit" one more time from the 'employees', he will probably lose his shit.

If the book doesn't have pictures in it, Kas/fected will not read it.

[ID: A plate of whole and ground spices including red chilis, Ceylon cinnamon, coriander seeds, and star anise. End ID]

新加坡咖哩粉 / Xinjiapo gali fen / Curry powder Singapura (Singapore curry powder)

Singapore curry powder, or gali fen ("gali" from the English "curry"), is a spice blend that was inspired by British Madras curry powder, but grew to incorporate Chinese spices and aromatics. It is representative of the culinary culture of Singapore, which incorporates influence from Chinese, Indian, Thai, Malay, and Indonesian cuisines.

This blend is used in “Singapore” curry fried noodles (actually a Hong Kongese dish) and in other Chinese curry dishes including chicken curry (新加坡式咖喱鸡), beef brisket curry (咖喱牛腩饭), curry soup noodles, and vegetable curries. It is also a popular choice for marinating meat and seafood.

Curry powder Singapura starts from a base of dried red chilis, and is rounded out with earthy spices including turmeric, coriander, cumin, and fenugreek. Warming spices such as nutmeg, mace, cinnamon, and cloves are often also included. Chinese influence sometimes appears in the form of chenpi (dried mandarin orange peel), Sichuan peppercorn, dried radish, liquorice root, star anise, and dried ginger.

Recipe under the cut!

Patreon | Tip jar

Makes about 1/3 cup.

Ingredients:

2 Tbsp (17.4g) ground turmeric / 薑黃

10 dry red chilis (11g; adjust to taste)

2 Tbsp (8g) coriander seeds / 芫茜

1 tsp (3.6g) fenugreek seeds (optional)

1 tsp (2.5g) cumin seeds / 小茴香種子

1 tsp (2g) fennel seeds / 谷茴

1 tsp (2g) ground ginger (optional)

1/2 tsp (1.6g) black peppercorns

1 inch (1.5g) Ceylon cinnamon / 桂皮

1 pod (1.4g) star anise / 八角

1g liquorice root / gan cao / 甘草 (optional)

1g chenpi / 陳皮(optional)

1g cao guo / tsao ko / 草果 / Chinese black cardamom, freshly grated (optional)

4 (1g) green cardamom pods

1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg / 玉果 (1/4 tsp preground; .5g)

1/4 tsp (7; .4g) cloves

2 blades mace (.2g; optional)

Liquorice root, chenpi, and cao guo may be found at an east Asian or Chinese grocery store, but may need to be purchased online. Many homemade versions of this spice blend do not include these spices.

Hong Kong curries tend to be relatively mild and sweet, including a lot of turmeric and cinnamon relative to the amount of chili and pungent spices. You should adjust the heat, sweetness, and pungency of the blend to your taste.

Instructions:

1. For a less spicy curry powder, you may choose to break open the chilis and remove all or some of their seeds.

2. Roughly crush star anise, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom pods in a mortar and pestle or with the flat of a knife. In a small, dry skillet, toast whole spices (coriander, fenugreek, cumin, black pepper, cinnamon, fennel, star anise, nutmeg, cardamom, Sichuan peppercorn, cloves, and mace) one at a time until each is fragrant. Set aside and allow to cool.

Spices are toasted one at a time so that smaller spices don't burn before larger ones are fully fragrant. Sometimes, I'll toast larger spices (such as cloves and cardamom pods) together, and then toast smaller seeds (such as cumin) together, to speed up the process.

3. Remove pan from heat. Toast ground spices (turmeric, and anything else you used a ground version of) for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, and remove from the skillet.

4. Grind liquorice root in a spice mill or coffee grinder until as fine as possible, then pass it through a sieve to remove larger pieces. Return those pieces to the mill and grind again. This is done separately because liquorice root can be tough to grind!

5. Grind all spices in a spice mill until fine. Pass through a sieve. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

Posting more about my modern AU head canons, so if anyone is interested in rp-ing this idea (and making any desired changes) 👀👀 hmu

Okay, so Steddyhands is the main focus, and they’ve all been together for a bit. Ed and Izzy knew each other for a long time in their more chaotic years. Their initial relationship was pretty toxic, and one Ed would probably be unlikely to have even defined as a relationship back then. But then he meets Stede.

Ed and Izzy’s relationship has always been open and they didn’t communicate well, so one day, Izzy just starts hearing about this Stede guy and already hates how Ed will talk about his one night stands. But then this one never goes away. And then Izzy meets him, and he gets it, and that makes shit so much worse.

Stuff happens, the three eventually get together. But Ed and Izzy are still themselves, and Stede is reeling from a super recent divorce. He decides to take a break in the relationship, which sends Ed into a tailspin. One night, he’s drinking and his other past vices, and he tells Izzy he’s riding to Stede’s on his motorcycle. Izzy tries to stop him, and finds himself between a rock and a hard place. He elects to go with him to keep Ed stable. But drinking combined with a wet highway and a dark night results in an accident that nearly kills Ed and costs Izzy his leg. Through a lot of communication and healing (and admittedly following a suicide attempt on Izzy’s part), all three reconnect and deepen their relationship to one another.

In the present of the narrative, Ed owns Blackbeard’s Bar and Grill, a seafood restaurant specializing in exactly what you’d imagine. Izzy and Stede occasionally help out when the man accidentally gives too many members of his staff the same day off. His logo on the t-shirts is fucking hideous.

Stede is an archivist on the subject of historical furniture, antiquities, and fashion. He recreates items he learns about and provides them to various museums, stores, and playhouses. He’s famous with a very select group of people and often gets into weird forum arguments with strangers online.

Izzy is an editor and romance novelist under a pen name. He is notably very popular among gay men and straight women for his dark gay romance titles, “bodice rippers”, and other such works. Stede was a big fan of his before even knowing Izzy was the writer. He keeps his personal life very private.

Until he’s given a new agent. Lucius Spriggs is eager to get people to know Israel Hands. He tells their shared boss that it’s simply a matter of getting Izzy to reconnect with a new collection of fans, but really some part of him thinks the chaos would be hilarious.

So Izzy finds himself and his husband heading off a traveling book tour for his newest title, all while the three of them are reeling from the newest bit of news - Izzy’s pregnancy. Do they know the other father? No. Has Izzy been totally honest about his complicated feelings? No. Do they know what to expect when Izzy’s expecting? No, but Ed and Stede are almost certain there is a book to help with that. 😊😊

Mass Effect Headcanon: Grocery stores

With drones being able to deliver groceries from warehouses quickly to people‘s homes, some people do not bother to go grocery shopping in actual grocery stores anymore, instead ordering everything online. Yet, a lot of people still go grocery shopping the traditional way, preferring to have the experience of being inside a place where they have the array of products physically in front of them.

On the Citadel, no grocery store or even grocery store section, officially speaking, caters to a specific species.

There‘s no store or store section for humans, or for hanar, or for asari.

But, just like there‘s Asian or Turkish or Mexican food stores on Earth, there are stores that mainly offer the food of a certain region.

It could be Citadel’s Amayi Market’s Dekuuna specialities section, or their departments of Palaven or Earth foods.

Or it could be Illuminated Delicaties, a grocery store aimed towards anyone who wishes to shop for Kahje foods. While many of the visitors will be hanar, it is also filled with plenty of other species who just like fish and seafood.

Larger Citadel food stores (supermarkets) typically feature cafès with fresh foods, including hot meals.

Do you have a laptop or desktop? Laptop. I never had a desktop.

Do you own any television series box sets? No. I always saw them at CD/DVD stores (when they still existed....) and because they cost so much they always were placed behind the cashier; nowhere near spots that would make them easily accessible. In any case, they were always too expensive and we weren't the most well-off family growing up, so I viewed it as a luxury thing that I didn't need more than anything.

When did you last receive a hug and who was it from? Tuesday, Angela. I had to come to her house so I can cry to her about work. And finally tell her what's been going on with me, since I've gone radio silence from everyone since her birthday last month.

Do you plan your outfits ahead of time? These days, not anymore. I don't have the luxury of time to.

Have you ever spent the night in jail? Never. I once stayed at a police station til midnight for a journalism assignment, but that's the closest I've gotten to being 'in jail.'

Do you have long hair or short hair? Long.

How much makeup do you wear on a daily basis? I just have the basics down so my face can look cleaner and whatever acne I have at the time won't look too prominent - BB cream, a bit of foundation, and blush.

Do you have weak upper body strength? Idk I'm generally just weak hahahaha. I don't work out, and I easily feel exhausted/dizzy from carrying heavy stuff.

Do you think hugs are awkward? They can, I guess, in situations like when you're going for a hug but then the only person only has their arm extended for a handshake or high-five...but that seldom happens. I've had far more good hugs than the awkward.

Do you think facial hair is gross? No.

Would you ever dye your hair an unnatural color? I've done it a couple of times.

What is your favorite band of all time? Paramore.

Are there any paintings on your wall? Nope.

What do you think is the best smell in the world? Seafood.

How old is your oldest sibling? I'm the eldest sibling; I'm 26. The second-eldest is my sister, at 24.

Do you enjoy dancing? I appreciate it as an art form, if anything. But I don't dance. I also can't, lol.

Can you handle scary movies? I can, but as a general rule I like watching them with at least one other person as it's just more fun that way.

Would you date someone 5 years older than you? Probably not. 31 sounds daunting.

Have you ever been to California? Did you like it? No.

Do you like deviled eggs? I've never tried them but I've always wanted to; they look delicious. It's virtually unheard of here though so it's never available anywhere.

What is your favorite horror movie? The Shining.

Has a little kid ever fallen asleep on your lap before? I can't remember if anyone has. I don't think so.

What foods can you absolutely not eat? Fruits.

Do you like hot, cold, or lukewarm showers? Hot. And usually, the more stressed I feel, the hotter I need the shower to be.

Have you ever taken part in a threesome? Nopes.

Have you ever been to Disneyland or Disney World? No.

Have you ever been the victim of a crime? I've had a handful of men catcall and lunge at me as a joke/prank/to make me scared on purpose. Idk if those are technical crimes but they definitely felt like one :)

What colour are your brother’s eyes? Dark brown, almost black.

Have you ever played a drinking game? Which ones? I'm sure I have but I can't name one off the top of my head.

How many friends do you have on Facebook? 669.

Do you regularly check anyone’s profile online? No.

Is there anything unusual about your house? Ours is the only balcony in the neighborhood that's been repurposed to be an additional bedroom. That's probably what's 'unusual' in our local context, but idk if there's anything generally unique to the house.

What is your favourite type of cookie? Chocolate chip.

Have you ever taken care of a newborn baby? I've watched over my newborn cousin to ensure nothing unsafe happens while the elders do errands/chores around the house. But if they needed to be fed or their diapers changed or whatnot, my grandma would take over.

Do you snore when you sleep? When I'm extremely tired, apparently.

Who do you (romantically) love? Nobody.

Do you wish you could go back and change anything about your childhood? I'd remove the bits I couldn't control, like the family's problem with alcohol. I feel like I wouldn't be so emotionally detached today if that didn't happen.

What would your mom do if you told her you were pregnant? As much as she would love a grandchild, if she found out I got pregnant outside of a marriage I think she would put her anger and disappointment and Jesus Child Is #1-ness first.

Do you think you have nice feet? They're okay. They just have like 1-2 scars from childhood falls but they're fine.

Where did you get your name? My parents just like my first and second names.

What’s the most unique or exotic food you’ve tried? List would be very long because Philippine street food in and of itself is already considered 'exotic.' But if anything, I guess crocodile sisig from Palawan? We don't have crocodile meat in Manila, so it definitely felt 'new' when I saw it as a menu option.

Who was your first online friend? I made a few Twitter friends during the EARRRLY Beyhive days. Like, 2008 – Beyhive wasn't even called Beyhive yet. I was very young, though, and in retrospect shouldn't have been anywhere near Twitter at the time; and I also don't remember anyone's names anymore.

What’s a condition you have that you haven’t been officially diagnosed with? There's definitely some sort of mental funk going on in there...maybe GAD? It manifests in my day-to-day life too much and affects the way I go about...everything for me not to think anything of it.

Do people tell you you have cold hands? This is not at all a common sentiment I receive.

When was the last time you held an umbrella? Last month.

Do you feel that the shape of the pasta alters the taste? Not for me. If anything, it just affects my overall experience of liking or disliking the meal – like how I veer away from penne because it feels like I'm just eating air; or how I enjoy fettuccine far more than spaghetti/linguine in terms of mouthfeel.

In games, do you like to roleplay as good or bad? Just good or like neutral.

Is there an instrument you don't like the sound of? Not in particular, no.

Would you rather be a kangaroo or a sea turtle? Sea turtle. So I can understand their experiences even better in terms of living in polluted and plastic-filled waters.

Do you like to get ready in the bathroom or the bedroom? Bedroom.

What's your favourite Coldplay song? Charlie Brown makes me feel so happy and light when I hear it.

Do you have a favourite insect? No.

What colour is your ceiling? White.

Do you own a scooter? I don't.

When did you last play a Mario game? Safe to say it's been within the last 12 months.

Are your bedroom curtains long or short? They're on the shorter side, which I've been meaning to replace precisely because I prefer them long.

Have you ever attempted to sculpt something from ice? No.

Have you ever had to wear an oxygen mask? I don't think so. No, I can't remember ever having to.

What’s your favorite thing you own that YOU made? The bracelets I made to give out to fans at Yoongi's concert were the cutest thing ever, I'm not even going to be demure about it HAHA. I spent like 3 weekends straight making them, and I must have made anywhere between 150-200 different kinds.

[TW: EATING DISORDERS/SIMILAR] Have you ever starved yourself? Mhm, in the aftermath of my breakup many years ago I fell into this path whether intentionally or otherwise.

Has anyone ever had to physically restrain you from doing something? I think so. Situations like this come very hazily to me precisely because I don't wat them to be part of my memories, being aggressively touched and such.

Do you like the pretzel M&Ms? I don't think I've tried them, actually.

Have you ever been accused of thinking you’re too good for something? No.

Have you ever stolen someone’s boyfriend? Nope.

Do you have a locket? What’s the picture inside of it? No, I don't have one. How nice would it be to receive a locket from someone? it feels a bit deflating that no one's ever given me one, now that I think of it. A locket isn't exactly something you 'ask' for as a gift, too, so it really depends on people and how much they tie you to their idea of sentimentality.

How do you react when you feel embarrassed about something? I just crack a joke to move past it.

Have you ever tried to "fix" someone? Yes.

When’s the last time you were carried by someone? No one does this to me.

Are you in possession of any currency that isn’t used in your country? Yeah, I have like 70k baht that I never got to convert back to PHP.

Did anyone witness your last kiss? No.

Do you have any younger siblings? I do.

Are you cool with them, or do they annoy you to no end? I am very close to my sister. There is no existing relationship with my brother.

Last person you flipped off? I can't remember haha but I know I did it very recently.

Anyone who’s way over-protective of you? Nope.

Have you ever been to a rave? A few.

July 13th, 2024 星期六 - 西門地 + 東三水街市場_新富市場 + Taipei Botanical Gardens

We met around 9:30 am and headed on the green line to the blue transfer station where we rode the MRT to the Longshan stop. As soon as we got out of the station, the Longshan Daoist/Buddhist temple was in view. It was very beautiful and colorful. First, we headed to the wet market. By the name, I assumed “wet market” meant mainly fish/seafood but it was just an outdoor market selling fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, and other goods. Our tour guide said that when he was a kid, he would go with his grandmother. It heavily reminded me of how I would go to very similar markets with my grandmother in Jamaica. As we entered through the dragon side, the wide variety of fresh produce could be seen everywhere you look. I noted that it was mostly older people buying and selling at the market. Our tour guide noted that there are increasingly less and less wet markets in Taiwan, as many opt to go to grocery stores instead.

After making our way through the market, we headed towards Longshan temple. A place of worship mixed with the Daoist and Buddhist beliefs, it was extremely colorful and adorned with porcelain, gold, and jade. As we walked through the temple, we got to see and try out using the moon stones to answer our questions. In the Daoist part of the temple, there were several shrines for different gods such as the gods of love, war, and health/wellness. There was also an area where one can buy talismans/good luck charms. I definitely want to return tomorrow to buy good luck charms for my friends and family.

After the temple, we rode the MRT again and ended up at the Taipei Botanical Gardens which we walked through before ending up at a museum for a famous Taiwanese Architect. After exploring the museum, we took the MRT once more and ended back in Ximendi, where class was dismissed. Afterwards, I went along with some of my classmates to eat hot pot. After lunch, the girls all went shopping around Ximendi for some cut clothes. We also colored the Red House and surrounding flea market shops before returning home on the MRT green line. Before entering the hotel, we stopped at a Family Mart so I could buy a special Kyoho grape redbull—something we definitely don’t have back home.

Academic Reflection

I was very interested in the wet markets we visited today. I ended up doing some research on wet markets in Taiwan, especially the differences between those in Taiwan and those in Mainland China. I found that apparently that has been a large increase in regulation of the wet markets in recent years. Live-killing of animals and the selling of live animals have been cracked down on, but you can still buy snakes, turtles, and live fish sometimes. I also found online how the Jianguo Wet Market in Taichung was torn down and re-made into a building that even includes industrial refrigerators and breastfeeding rooms.

Our tour guide also told us about a jade market that happens on the weekends a wet market like the one we visited today. Turns out it is the a similar area to the Jianguo market previously mentioned. This immediately sparked my interest because one of the things I really wanted to buy in Taiwan is jade jewelry. At this market, one can also buy an array of gorgeous flowers and plants. Located in Da’an and open from 9am to 6pm, there are about 700 stalls selling many goods from and flowers, to ceramics and furniture. I most definitely plan on going tomorrow to buy jade jewelry.
