Cartoon depictions of the homeless increasingly reflect the hostility of today’s political leaders toward people on the streets. We’ve gone from images of charming hobos with bindles to zombies taking over cities. If you consume any news at all, you’ve probably noticed that the United States is pathologically cruel to its homeless citizens. This May, the brutal killing of Jordan Neely—who was strangled to death, at the age of 30, simply because he was unhoused and shouting on the Manhattan subway—captured the national spotlight, but it was just one of many such cases of unprovoked violence. In January, two cops reportedly kidnapped a homeless man in Hialeah, Florida, drove him to an “isolated and dark location,” and beat him unconscious. That same month, art dealer Shannon Collier Gwin faced battery charges after he sprayed a homeless woman with a hose outside his San Francisco gallery, barking “Move! Move!” at her. (Predictably, Gwin got a lenient plea deal of just 35 hours of community service.) Elsewhere in the city, homeless San Franciscans have been attacked with chemical bear spray on at least eight occasions. Other assaults have been more impersonal but no less vicious. On July 14, the city of Houston abruptly closed its only public cooling center in the downtown area, potentially condemning anyone without shelter to suffer heatstroke in 90-degree weather. Among the property-owning class, the phenomenon of hostile architecture—sidewalks with spikes that stab anyone who tries to sleep, benches with iron bars, and the like—has become de rigueur. The widespread callousness and lack of compassion are both infuriating and hard to comprehend. How on Earth, we might ask, did things get this bad? [...]

Looking back at older cartoons, one of the things that stands out immediately is the absence of negative attitudes toward the homeless. In fact, during the Golden Age of animation, creators seemed to have had a real affinity for the poor and unhoused, often placing their most iconic characters in that role. There’s a wonderful 1948 Warner Bros. short called “Riff Raffy Daffy,” in which Daffy Duck is looking for a place to sleep—first on a park bench, then a trash can, and finally a furniture display in a shop window—and has to dodge the harassment of the police, as represented by Porky Pig in a little blue uniform. (Literally, the cop is a pig!) Or, in the 1950 cartoon “Homeless Hare,” Bugs Bunny’s rabbit hole is destroyed by a new construction project, leading him to unleash his usual slapstick mayhem against the developers until they put it back. In these cartoons, homelessness is something inflicted on people by outside forces—gentrification and the real estate business, in Bugs’ case—and something which can be successfully resisted. Even Disney cast a homeless dog as a romantic lead in 1955’s Lady and the Tramp, contrasting Lady’s sheltered naivety with Tramp’s superior knowledge of the world. The title invokes the memory of Charlie Chaplin’s “Tramp” films, which similarly brought dignity and humanity to the role of a homeless man. (Bugs Bunny, too, takes inspiration from Chaplin, and multiple Warner animators have drawn him as the Tramp.) In 1961, Hanna-Barbera’s profoundly underrated Top Cat followed the adventures of a gang of wisecracking Manhattan alley cats, who, like Daffy, are always outwitting a meddling policeman. At worst, classic cartoons may trivialize the suffering and danger associated with homelessness—there’s a certain recurring image of the carefree hobo carrying a bindle, which paints the whole subject in a romanticized light—but the homeless themselves are rarely disparaged or made the butt of the joke. Quite the opposite. 

It took a few years, but cartoons caught up to the Reaganite turn. In episodes from the ’90s and early 2000s, there’s a palpable shift in the way homeless characters appear compared to earlier decades. The perspective is different: we’re now seeing them through the eyes of comfortably housed characters, rather than their own. Often they don’t even get proper names. [...] This trajectory leads us, perhaps inevitably, to SpongeBob SquarePants. [..] Squidward gets accused of stealing a dime by his comically greedy boss, Mr. Krabs, and quits his job in a fit of outrage. We then flash forward to see Squidward, now bedraggled and unshaven, living in a cardboard box on the street and begging for change. [...] Mercifully, the ever-cheerful SpongeBob gives Squidward a place to stay—but the moment he’s safely off the street, Squidward turns from a sympathetic victim of circumstance into a lazy, entitled freeloader, straight out of a Reagan speech. He makes no effort to find work and loafs around SpongeBob’s house for ages. [...] Eventually, an exasperated SpongeBob writes “GET A JOB” in his alphabet soup, before shoving him (bed and all) back to work at the Krusty Krab. [...] Worst of all, though, the episode suggests that homelessness can be solved on an individual basis if the people in question simply stop being lazy and “GET A JOB.” This is the biggest myth of all. In 2021, a statistical analysis by the University of Chicago found that 53 percent of people in homeless shelters, and 40.4 percent of unsheltered people, do have jobs. The problem is that their wages are too low, and rents are too high. According to statistics from the same year, it’s impossible for someone working a full-time, minimum-wage job to afford a single-bedroom apartment in 93 percent of U.S. counties, and there are no states in which someone can rent a two-bedroom space on the current federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. In other words, homelessness has little or nothing to do with personal responsibility, or lack thereof. It’s a consequence of large-scale economic decisions made by landlords and bosses. [...]

"Hello, George, it's me again, and hello Jayden. Keeping my first question simple: is there anything you'd like to see more fan art of in DBD? I'd also love to make a key chain of Raffy and one for Luna to give to you at some point if that's ok."

Edited to add a transcript:

George: Oh, good start. Jayden: That was a good start. “Hello, George. It's me again and hello Jayden. Keeping my first question simple, is there anything you'd like to see more fanart of for DBD? I'd also love to make a key chain of Raffi and one for Luna to give it to you at some point, if that's OK”. Well, first of all, hello, Ethii. Again, I’m, I speak to you pretty much every week anyway. First what I want to say thank you for all of your fan art. I know me and George have both posted pictures of your fan art on our Instagram. I have actually used your fan art as my emotes on Twitch. So yeah, big shout out to you, ehm, I mean. For me, I can't think of anything specific that I'd like to see. I mean, you're amazingly creative and you always make the coolest fan art, so I guess you could just surprise us. How about something of us like this? You should make a fan art and try and add in all of this beautiful set design that that, George added in. George: and you could make fan art of fan art. Because this is Adele, who, ehm, very kindly sent, sent over some fan art which I treasure very much. Well, hi, Ethii. I obviously don't know you as well as this one, but I do recognise you from the last round of cameos. In terms of fan art, I would probably say I'd love to see some of. I mean, listen, I'm grateful for any fan art cause you guys are doing it for the love of the show, which means a lot to us, but maybe some of the characters with the creatures. Jayden: Yes, love that. George: That would be cool. I'd be interested to like, see those creatures because they're CGI. I think it'd be really cool to see them, see your interpretations of them. Jayden: And Teethface. George: Teethface, yeah. And like the floating squid and stuff. And also, you know, we had some favourite episodes to film, like Episode 5. Like, maybe like, I don't know, like a screen grab of, I don't know, us in the school. Or something like that I. Jayden: Yeah. Love that. Or the dragon, you know the dragon. Yeah. Was it the mascot? George: Mascot, yeah, yeah. I mean, yeah, I think that'd be really cool. And also actually now I think about it. Jayden: Go on. George: Bree, Jenny the Butcher is getting married, so you could, as a surprise at the end of the year, have, like, Jenny the Butcher. Yeah, in a butchery gown. And then all the characters at the wedding. Jayden: Yeah yeah. Oh my God, do it. George: That'd be so cool. Jayden: Do it! George: She would like. And we, do you know what, we’ll personally make sure that she sees that. Jayden: Yeah, as we are going to the wedding. George: We're going to the wedding.

MEETING THE FAMILY

******

Paring: Florence Pugh x fem!reader

Words: 1.7K

******

“I don’t think this was a good idea” 

Florence stopped sweeping to look at her girlfriend. Y/n was cleaning the breakfast’s plates, they just used to eat some delicious pancakes the actress made for the occasion. 

“My love, we’ve been together for months now, why would you say that?” The blonde girl approached her, hugging her from behind, while Y/n leaned her body back to rest against Florence’s front. “Because, what if they don’t like me? What if they think I’m not good enough for you?” 

“Well, then I’ll tell them to fuck off, because I’m the one who’s dating you” Finally a smile appeared on the taller girl’s face. She turned to face the actress, quickly pecking her lips. “Are you sure?”

“I love you so so much, worry head” … “Now, let’s go!” Florence pulled away to go search for their bags, not forgetting to, slightly, hit her girlfriend’s butt, making her laugh. Both women got everything they needed and headed to the car, Billie, their dog also going with them. Oxford was their destination. 

******

Once they parked the car in front of Florence's childhood house, Florence made sure Y/n was ready. “Are you prepared, my darling?” Y/n nodded, releasing a shaken sigh. They headed to the door, and before knocking, the actress kissed her softly, holding her hand and leaving a kiss in her knuckles too.

As fast as they knocked, the door burst open, Billie running inside, and Y/n was pulled in a tight hug. “I’m so happy to finally meet you, Florence has been talking to you non-stop”

“Okay, Raffie, I would like to keep my girlfriend alive” The youngest of the house let go of Y/n, to jump at her sister’s arms. Y/n smiled warmly at the scene, happy that the brunette seemed to already like her. “Come, mum is already preparing the table for lunch, and dad is cooking! You are going to love his food, it’s even better than Florence’s”

While Y/n laughed at Raffie’s comment, Florence gave her an offended scoff, as they entered the house, heading to the kitchen. Y/n kinda froze when she saw the full family getting everything prepared, only moving when a small warm hand was placed on her lower back. She looked at her side, seeing the loving stare her girlfriend had. Y/n knew that as long Florence’s family was a little like her, there shouldn’t be any problem. 

She first was welcomed by the other two siblings. Arabella hugged her shortly and told her she was so glad they met, much like what Raffie said to her, but a lot calmer. On the other hand, there was Toby, who made sure to embarrass her sister as much as he could. “Flo, you didn’t tell me she was so out of your league” or “I have so many embarrassing stories about her, whenever she told us about you, she would smile like an idiot and practically drool”.

“Leave them alone will you… The table still needs to be finished up” Y/n laugh, and Florence hugged tightly her mum, stepping aside, so her girlfriend could be properly introduced. “Mum, this is Y/n, my beautiful girlfriend”

Trying hard not to blush at Florence’s comment, she went to shake her mother-in-law's hand, only to, once again, be pulled into a warm embrace. This family loves to hug. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Pugh”

“Oh, none of that, call me Debs… Come, my husband’s still cooking” Deborah took Y/n hands, and Florence followed them smiling at how her both families got along. After talking a bit with her siblings, being teased by Toby and Raffie, she noticed that her girlfriend still hadn’t come out of the kitchen.

“Can I have my girlfriend back, or do you plan to keep her here for the rest of her life?” The picture in front of her almost made her tear up. Y/n and her mum were laughing at some of her dad’s jokes, sipping at her glass of wine. Florence knew it, but there were moments like these, where she became fully conscious about how desperately in love she was. It was soon, but she knew she wanted to marry that girl. 

“Flo! Your dad was telling me some stories when you were a baby” Groaning, she made her way to her girlfriend, stealing some of Y/n wine. “Hey, that’s mine” Florence laughed and kissed her quickly, “Yeah, well, what is yours is mine, you know”

“Don’t mess with her honey, you need to keep her, I like her” Y/n tried to not blush at Clinton’s words. “Food is ready, let’s eat!”. Holding Y/n back, Florence waited for her parents to leave the kitchen to kiss her girlfriend properly. 

“I think they like me?” Y/n said, while still receiving kisses. “They do like you, and I didn’t even doubt it for a second… I love you, my darling”

“I love you too” Before they could kiss one more time, Toby called for them from the living room, “Girl, stop hooking up, and come! We are hungry” Florence laughed as she took her girlfriend’s hand.

******

Lunch at the Pugh’s was quite funny to say the least. Conversation never stopped, hitting a hundred topics in five minutes. The food, obviously, was amazing and Y/n wasn’t surprised, knowing how Florence cooked. All the fears Y/n had that morning disappeared, feeling immensely welcomed and part of the family, even if she had just known them for a few hours.

She didn’t realize she had spaced out until she felt Florence’s hand on her thigh. “Are you okay, my love?” 

“Yes, I’m just taking it all in, I’m so happy” She pecked the actress’ lips, both girls not realizing the small smiles from everyone at the table. 

After a while, Florence asked, “Where is granny Pat?”. Y/n then thought that the blonde girl had told her that her grandma would be there. “Oh I’m sure she won’t be much longer” Deborah told them as she stood up to go search for the dessert. 

Only five minutes later the doorbell rang, and Florence quickly went to open it, excited to see her granny again after a while. Granny Pat, though, didn’t put much attention to her granddaughter standing in front of her, almost passing by. She simply patted her shoulder, as she went straight to the living room. “Where is my new granddaughter?”

Y/n quickly got up, and went to hug Florence’s grandma, “Hi, Mrs. Pugh, it’s a pleasure to meet you, Florence has told me so much about you”. Y/n found the woman adorable, being so tiny, but full of life and joy. Granny Pat irradiated happiness.

“Oh, I hope all good things… But I must ask you to call me granny Pat, you are part of the family now” The whole family laughed, and went back to sitting when they had also greeted the oldest woman.

Florence started to tidy up the plates, Y/n following her, receiving a glance from her girlfriend daring her to stand up, so she abandoned her intentions. Instead, she was followed by her sibling, after being slightly scolded by her mother.

“So, quite the girl you got, huh” Toby said as soon as he stepped into the kitchen. 

“Yeah, I do”, The actress smiled fondly, a warm feeling setting in her chest every time she thought of the girl. Her sisters approached her to give her a hug, also giving their opinions. 

Arabella was the mature one, “You look so in love, and I’m so happy you got someone who also loves you as much as you do”. On the other hand, Raffie, was more teasing, “She is nice, funny and gorgeous, you better keep an eye on her, because everyone will try to steal her from you” 

Florence thanked her older sister, and then slapped her younger one. “Don’t worry, I’m not planning on losing her ever”

******

After doing small talk at the table a bit more time, the family decided to go for a walk, Billie needing to do her need was also used as an excuse. Raffie quickly laced her arm with Y/n’s and both girls started to talk happily, laughing at their jokes. They quickly were quite ahead of the family, followed by the men of the house, and lastly the four women left. 

“You found a good one” Florence glanced at her mom’s comment, a smile, once again, was drawn in her face. 

“I found the best one”, she agreed, not hesitating for even one second. She knew pretty well, she’d never find another one like her girlfriend, knowing she wanted to stay with her for the rest of her life. 

“You better take care of her, or I’ll come after you” Granny Pat also made herself part of the conversation. 

Florence feigned offence, a hand on her chest to make it more dramatic, “Whose granny are you?”. The four women laughed, Arabella accelerating her pace to go talk with her dad and brother, shaking her head while smiling at the other’s small bickering. 

Granny Pat, however, insisted, “I don’t care, she is part of this family now too”. Florence kissed her gran’s temple, as she looked ahead seeing her girlfriend looking back at her, signalling her to come next to her.

The actress excused herself, and jogged to meet her girlfriend at her side. Raffie looked at them and started running, calling Billie to play with her. “What were you talking about back there?” Y/n asked, taking Florence’s hand. 

“You”

“Good things?” Y/n was confident she had made a good impression, but she couldn’t avoid worrying a bit. In spite of that, as she saw Florence’s loving eyes, she immediately relaxed.

“All great… They love you, but not as much as I do”

“I love you more, Flo” The girls softly kissed, it wasn’t long, the whole family was able to see them, although only the youngest had something to say about it.

“Get a room!” Y/n laughed as Florence flipped her sister off.

"thank you, guys, for all your love and care for the fandom, we love u too btw!! and thanks for inspiring us!💖 George and Jayden, can you share any ideas that helped you create E&C; something that wasn’t in the show that you came up with."

Featuring a single bark from Raffy to remind us all who the real attraction is.

I managed to get another cameo. So Jayden is aggressively eating an apple, Charles is a Christmas tree, which one is ketchup and which one is mayo and the guys are goofing around a bit 💖

And I started chatting a lot about how much we love them and I'm glad Jayden said the same. They are the most precious 🥺

Ectoberhaunt Day 10: Creepy/Wet

Summary: A ghost dog and several feral ghost children and one Little Baby Man become menaces across town together the week of Halloween.

AO3 link

It started with an idea the youngest half ghost had while getting affectionately licked by the pup who chose her template as his person.

Halloween is coming up and what could be more fun for a ghost than to scare some people? But first, she needs a target.

As she looks for one, big, bright eyes watch from the shadows passed by. Curious to what she was doing.

She was so lost in thought on who to prank that the figure easily snuck up on her. Turning around only to come face to face with a ghost around her size. Startling her enough to let gravity take hold.

This ghost had pinkish purple-y hair in a cloud like texture and look and an oversized hooded jacket with pom poms dangling from it. Their tongue is in an eternal 'blep' poking out and stitch like markings up and down in the middle of their face. Topped off with a worn giraffe plush wearing an orange cape on their head, peaking out of their hair.

"Hi. Sorry for scaring you, we wanted to see what you were doing. It looked fun."

Their voice was quiet and unsure, yet excited.

Before Dani could give an answer, Cujo popped in and tackled the new ghost down to play. Licking the newcomer and then going off to play with the smaller, more animal shaped, ghost like the excited puppy he is.

Deemed a friend by the dog, she doesn't see a reason why to exclude a fellow ghost kid.

"Sure, I don't see why not. What's your name, though? Never seen you around Amity Park before."

"Oh! Ummm," the newcomer twisted their long sleeves before answering, "I'm Stuffie! Friend to all plush creatures and companions! Nice to meet you!"

Their bouncy answer was accompanied by flappy hands in their oversized sleeves and the giraffe plush flying up in glee, making a high pitched squeak in agreement.

"Who's that?" Dani was curious, she knew some ghosts had objects that were empowered by them and tend to be linked to their obsession in some way, but she has not seen one have sentience.

Well, unless Youngblood's skeleton companion counted?

Questions for later.

"That's Raffi, my best friend! She sometimes goes by Super Raffi, hence the cape. Would you like to hug her?"

Amused, Dani agreed and a comforting hug was paired with an unexpected lick from a long, somehow wet, giraffe tongue via ghostly plush.

"Aww, she likes you!"

The two share a laugh as the young Phantom explains her desire to prank and give a good scare to some people on Halloween. She still just didn't know exactly how to go about it. Two minds now are able to plan much easier with different ideas getting tossed around. The two animal companions played a fun game of chase, going in circles the whole time.

Unaware that a third, small creature had joined the two playing animal-like companions.

Mischievous spirits of restless children plan and wait.

Excited for a good Halloween haunting.

Biding their time blending in with trick-or-treaters, collecting candy along the way, until the house grew dark.

When the night came, they found their first victims.

A group of older kids acting like nothing scares them from living in Amity Park. Clearly plotting to TP someone's house... Or multiple someones from what could be seen or heard to passer bys. Doesn't matter anyway.

What they didn't know what waited them in shadows of the deepening night.

Giving the signal for their plan, the two humanoid ghosts get in position and Cujo grows and hides with his invisibility, a trick Dani worked hard making sure he'd listen to.

Eyes seemingly coming from the walls, staring from the darkness.

Liquid dripping onto them from above. A smell wafting onto them, warm and wet.

A creepy chant started from all sides.

"Trick or treat! ~

~Smell my feet~

~Give me something good to eat~~~"

Overlapped voices coming from different directions, moving around slowly as the come closer.

"If you don't~

~I don't care~

~I will give you some nightmares~"

A short giggle from at least three voices from no concrete direction followed the haunting rhyme.

All it took was a single tap on the shoulder and something small yet soft landing on a head for one kid to run screaming, followed by their friends. Forgetting their candy.

Leaving it to the spirits.

SCORE!

A great scare and a new friend made all of this worth it!

The new sweets didn't hurt, as well.

Dani and Stuffie found an isolated part of the park to sort their new candy, making a third pile for Raffi who loves chocolate. She is willing to share but she loves not having to!

Cujo chasing the extra friend that was with them, uninterested in the candy with his toy and new friends to play with. At least the candy won't kill him if he does try something.

"So, who is this little guy?" Stuffie asked, cheeks puffed like a chipmunk with candy before swallowing as if they were in cartoon.

"Oh, that little guy hangs out around town, mainly by my cousin or his friends. We don't exactly know how he came to be or where he came from, but he looks just like Phantom but somehow more fight-y. Heh heh." a laugh came out just thinking about it, "We've taken to calling him Little Baby Man, though. So I guess that's his name."

"Aww, he's cute!," they exclaim, "And I can tell Raffi likes having two new friends, here! I liked meeting you, too! Does this mean we're friends?" Stuffie asked her with bright sparkles in their eyes.

"Sure," Dani laughs, charmed by her new friend, "I don't see why not after all!"

Stuffie wiggled happily before responding, "Would you like it if I make you a plush friend? It can be of anyone or anything! I, uhm, don't really know how else to say this, but I like being around you and I want to give a plush friend custom made just for you! You can even take it with you on your travels when you leave next! That is, well, if you want it? I don't really know how to make friends, to be honest."

"Let me think about what it will be, OK? I don't really have many friends, either!"

"Sure!"

A reply given in a sunny smile before their small companions got their attention by trying to lay on them or bury themselves into the candy piles.

Laughs were heard all around from the abandoned park.

This was the greatest Halloween either has ever had.

[gameo-archive]

"If you'd be willing, could you please show us a small skit or scene in character as the boys of an exchange you think they might have on an ordinary day at the office?"

So, I may have ordered a Cameo. I am so unspeakably charmed right now ;;

I asked if they'd be willing to do a small skit or scene in character as the boys of an exchange they might have on an ordinary day at the office.

Looney Tunes Volumes 1-4 Blu-Ray Set Review

Here they are in one mega set! All four of the recently released Looney Tunes Collector's Choice Blu-rays together at last.

While I appreciate the expansive selection of cartoons here, I really wish they would have been more concentrated to certain years instead of the hodgepodge represented here.

VIDEO QUALITY 📽️ :  B 

With the 1080p resolution and 1.37:1 aspect ratio, this is definitely the best I’ve ever seen these animated shorts. It’s always a fine line Warner Bros. has to toe while restoring these older animated classics. Although scrubbing the video is somewhat necessary to present these cartoons in high definition, WB still has to make sure not to wash away the original film grain. A lot of people complain when too much film grain is washed away, but for me, it’s never a big deal. I always look for clarity and popping colors. Overall Warner Bros. has done another fine job with these volumes

AUDIO QUALITY 🔈 : B+ 

The DTS-HD Master Audio is solid for a simple 2.0 mono presentation. Both music, sound effects and dialogue are clear and compliment the picture nicely. 

EXTRAS 📀 :  D-

The only real drawback to this collection is the lack of extras. No digital download, no booklets and the only disc extras are a very small dash of shorts.

OVERALL GRADE: B+   

The replay value of all these discs are extremely high for me. I still love throwing these classic cartoons in my Blu-Ray player on Saturday mornings and reliving my childhood again and again. Yeah, I’d love to have more extras, but I’ll eat up every release Warner Archive is willing to deliver. All four of these discs included in one set should make it a no-brainer for fans of the Warner Bros. cartoon library. I highly recommend this set as a fan myself!

You can purchase this release at Amazon.

🍭Sweet Tooth🍬

✒️🍭

You tore open a pack of gumdrops that you had stowed away in your jacket earlier that day. Originally, you didn't even like the sticky stuck-in-your-teeth treat, but a few events changed that.

You sauntered over to the loudest voice in the hallway, a gumdrop in hand that you pressed your lips against before firmly holding it in your fingertips.

Quietly as you could, you snuck up behind the familiar back of the boy you loved teasing. Then, you stepped back as he bent over backwards. A mystery on how he could just do that like one of those slapstick wristband rulers, but one you'll find out eventually.

"HRAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I can't believe you losers went out looking like tha- Eep!"

He jumped and stumbled back upright as you touched his ear and lightly blew into it, looking at you with an outraged and surprised expression that was either red from anger or from embarrassment

"Oh, Bon-bon~! It's me."

"...you. Always ruining my moment right at the peak. Can't you see that I'm busy? Gosh, no wonder you're apa-"

"Boop."

You placed the gumdrop you've been holding into his mouth, placing a finger on his chin to close his open mouth properly.

"Careful now. I heard that if you open your mouth too widely, you might attract flies. Especially now. Those hawkers outside of school always said that honey attracts more flies than vinegar."

The gumdrop was honey flavored. You only noticed that after looking at the packaging of the candies you had brought with you, so you couldn't help yourself.

"Would you stop interrupting me for once? Really."

Monoma crossed his arms over his chest, genuinely annoyed with your antics.

"Alright then. One last thing before I zip shut, I do like honeyed cherries."

"..."

He still seemed a bit suspicious of you, though Rin, who was just about to grab Monoma to stop him from ranting again, facepalmed out of nowhere and turned to leave.

"Ba! I didn't come here to be choked with dog food!"

"I've gone on douyin before with Rin. I'm not gonna tell you what he means, though I've read in romance novels that lips have been compared to cherries before. Heheheheh~!"

Setsuna snuck off after that, snickering to herself as she trailed off after Rin. You ran off too, if only to escape Monoma's voice.

"...WHAAAAAT!?"

Despite him having a really nice voice, he can yell loud enough to cause pain if the groans and curses of the people behind you evidenced to anything.

Real gelatin was always tastier. It had more depth and retained more flavor, and after your first gummy, you knew you couldn't go back.

Making them yourself always was better. That way, you can put whatever flavor you wanted instead of having a bunch of 'meh' flavors and flavors you didn't like. Plus, they didn't make your mouth taste weird.

"Isn't that right, Raffy-chan? Oops, sorry, I forgot, heheh!"

The girl's head was put in a ziplock bag, currently in the sink. You had already sold her teeth, nose, tongue, and eyes off-campus, leaving only the meaty bits.

"Such a shame that human brains are inedible. I'd have loved a good braised pig's head for dinner, but I guess I'll have to cremate you later."

Humans were also known as 'long pigs'. The girl was actually decently pretty, but she had made one mistake.

She left a love letter to Monoma.

It was like seeing the cake you helped make and ordered get drooled over by another person before having a bite taken out of. You weren't going to risk that bite because Monoma was yours.

Yours. Only yours. Forever. The sea-salt caramel filling to your dark chocolate. The candied flower to your cupcake. The cream to your coffee.

You grinned as you scooped out the scum from the boiling pot. Despite your efforts to clean them, bone marrow and blood was bound to be in the joins somehow.

"Now, to add sugar and remove the rest of the residue and the leftover waste..."

...

After a short while, you were done. You added pineapple, strawberry, cherry, raspberry, apple, mango, and various other fruit flavors to your gummies since there was so much 'base' to use up, putting the decapitated head in the minifridge you had after you were done.

"The gummies should be done in a few hours. In the meanwhile, let's see what other ingredients tried to snatch my beloved."

You popped a gummy into your mouth that you had set aside earlier, savoring the taste while opening the drawer that was originally meant to hold some miscellaneous cooking tools.

Now, it was full of love letters to Monoma. Of course you replaced them with ones you wrote yourself, even if mimicking all that handwriting was a pain.

Monoma was worth the pain and effort. He always was.

"Let's see... I heard that there's a dessert made from chicken breast, right? Let's see if there's any ingredients that have bird features."

Suddenly you heard the door opening behind you. You swiftly closed the drawer after stuffing the letter back inside, turning back to the person that almost caught you.

Monoma.

You couldn't just kill him to get rid of the evidence if that wasn't obvious enough.

"So. What did you mean by liking honeyed cherries yesterday?"

"Hmmm... it's exactly what you think I mean."

You pulled your sleeves over your hands before covering the lower half of your face, putting on some chocolate-flavored lip balm quickly to mask any other possible flavors. And, since only the lower half of your face was covered, you got to see Monoma slowly go from annoyed and huffing to flustered

He's pinker when he's blushing out of embarrassment instead of anger.

"Cherries are sweet by themselves, but with a hint of honey-"

"I don't need any honey, I can be sweet by myself just fine! Hmmph!"

"Oh, really? Then... can I have a taste?"

He stiffened up the moment the thought of what you just said finally was processed in his head. It was kind of like watching a thermometer.

"Just kidding!" You teased, placing a finger on his nose playfully as you watched him rapidly change in demeanor.

"Or am I?"

You pressed your fingertip against his lips and pulled your hand back before licking your fingertip.

"W-wh... you can't just do that! That's... um, unsanitary!"

"Really? There's lots of other unsanitary things that I can do."

"Shut up!"

Monoma covered his lips, gazing at you as if you were going to eat him up.

It was very tempting. That trace taste was sweeter than most, if not all other candies you've eaten before.

However, delicacies like Monoma were meant to be savored in small nibbles for maximum flavor in your experience.

"Hmmm... don't wanna."

You kissed the back of his hand that covered his lips anyways, stealing a taste before he squeaked and ran off.

You licked your own lips. You couldn't recognize what flavor he was, but that was fine. It's your new favorite anyways.
