Ready-to-cook foods have gained popularity as convenient solutions for individuals with busy lifestyles. These products are designed to minimize preparation time while still offering a homemade or freshly cooked feel. However, it’s essential to be aware of certain aspects when considering ready to cook foods:

Ingredients and Nutrition:

Read Labels: Carefully read the ingredient list and nutritional information. Look for products with recognizable, wholesome ingredients and balanced nutritional profiles.

Avoid Additives: Be cautious of products containing excessive additives, preservatives, artificial flavors, and colors. Opt for options with minimal processing.

Sodium and Preservatives:

Sodium Content: Ready-to-cook meals can sometimes be high in sodium. Monitor the sodium levels, especially if you’re watching your salt intake for health reasons.

Allergens and Dietary Preferences:

Allergen Information: Ensure the product doesn’t contain ingredients you may be allergic to. Look for clear allergen labeling.

Cooking Instructions:

✨: Your order is here, enjoy! <3 🦅: Here.

I may went little crazy with these two, drawing on different paper makes it more difficult for me to make it look decent but they're not too bad Not going to lie, I missed Eden's Cuties Restaurant AU. I don't really plan take it too seriously but maybe I'll draw some ideas for it here or there (I am planning to add Jade, Pey'j, and Sarah into this AU but I firstly still want to work on my version of Jade and Pey'j, to write more into their characters essentially)

Here's the silly images that I used for inspiration, they caught enough attention for me tehe

lord its so dark in here the sahara desert of tsaritsa content you are like a shining oasis. your characterisation of her compels me & mihoyo would be hard pressed to top it imo.!! caaaaan i humbly request yr thoughts on her first meeting w a reader of any kind, or maybe even multiple kinds (sagau, sagau god au, isekai, etc) if you so desire...

it really is like a desert here. being the fan of a character we aren't getting until the last damn nation is driving me up a wall but i will persevere bc if nothing else i support morally bankrupt women in media. we r in a severe drought over here but i do my best. unfortunately nothing i say is ever coherent so pull out your translation notes its abt 2 be messy

also this got out of hand but thats bc first meetings w the tsaritsa are tricky to write + a LOT of her characterization lies in deeper exploration then just surface level yknow...NOT A DIG AT YOU this is just my excuse for rambling. gently pats the tsaritsa she can hold so much complexity i do not have the word count to delve into it completely :]

gonna talk cult au for a bit here though because that's 99% of my content. and honestly? she thrives in sub au's of the cult au like villain au + imposter au. it's basically made for her. i mean, early days, the imposter au had been going around for a little while but one of the first few ideas was the Fatui taking reader in so like. it kinda technically actually was. pretty sure cult au Tsaritsa popped up because of the imposter au. a lot of it's writers kinda left though which. man am i getting old or.

anyway.

there isn't much of a chance her first impression is all that positive. at best it's usually neutral, imo, but rarely if ever positive. specifically because i view the Tsaritsa as someone who isn't as fanatical as most of the acolytes typically are towards the creator. she's not exactly going to worship the ground you walk on unlike a certain geo lizard. which is partially why i think she thrives in the sub au's i mentioned.

imposter au, for example. she meets you at your lowest. there's no gaudy extravagance or pampering from the acolytes waiting for you because your own acolytes have turned on you. for all intents and purposes you aren't a "god" at all. which is why i don't think she meshes well with normal cult au reader. the Fatui are made up of outcasts, basically, and imposter au slots right in just perfectly. you're weak, at your lowest, when you meet the Fatui in the imposter au. and the Fatui can help you, too.

a mutual exchange, really. the Tsaritsa sees a tool she can use to one up the rest of the nations and especially Archons, and she has no qualms about you using her and the Fatui in turn. you both want something out of it, after all. whether you just want to be safe from the rest of the acolytes, or you want revenge, or whatever else..she'll give you the power to fulfill it, and she gains the strongest piece on the chessboard when all is said and done.

the best way i can describe the first meeting is "practical", i suppose. she sees an opportunity in you. the ultimate gamble. because if she "saves" you, and you dont trust anyone else because they tried to kill you, well..she holds all the cards, doesn't she?

but the Tsaritsa, imo, is just as capable of being just as fanatical towards you as anyone else. she just won't worship you as the creator. but as yourself? clawing your way back to your divine power and taking back what belongs to you? the Tsaritsa is, to me, a character who's character flourishes in long-term fics more because she changes a LOT between "just met reader" and after having been with reader for some time. she's practically apathetic at the beginning but a lot of her character, in my characterization, shines through LONG after the first meeting.

My heart aches for oscar after reading the new chapter. DO NOT GIVE UP OSCAR PLEASEEEEE

ALSO, I sort of thought about chapter 25(?) And I think I figured out the reason why oscar swerved from the kiss!!

Y/N was crying as usual. Y/N knew she wasn't drunk. But Oscar *didn't* know that Y/N wasn't drunk. To him y/n was gonna kiss him in a drunken state. And oscar being the gentleman he is, he didn't want to take advantage of y/n's state (LEARN SOMETHING FROM THIS LANDO WE DON'T FUCK OUR DRUNK BEST FRIENDS AND GHOST THEM). and oscar loves y/n so he obviously wants their first kiss to be memorable and not in a bedroom when Y/N is "drunk" BUT Y/N ISN'T REALISING THAT. I need y/n to understand this😔

you’re soo onto something here! don’t worry, we’re getting answers soon (meaning 2 or 3 chapters from now, depending on how long they end up being)

also, “Y/N was crying as usual” is taking me out lmaoooooo

I've never heard a man say he thinks he'd be a bad father. and yet there's no shortage of awful dads out there. so where are they all coming from 🤔

this is going to make me sound so insane and parasocial but my family used to live in the uk and sometimes I really miss specific things like the food/snacks/gen grocery stuff bc it’s still pretty familiar to me so sometimes I’ll just go on the tesco website and browse like im doing my normal grocery shopping and think “hm I wonder what dnp buy on the regular���

whenever people asked how i liked my 4-(ten hour)-day work week, i would always say i truly couldn't decide which was better because the 3 day weekends are really nice but ten hour days suck so so much, but i've been working 5 normal days starting at 9 for a few weeks to cover for my coworker's leave and. maybe this is it. my ideal schedule.

after work today, I picked up my library books and went for a run and then by some miracle I had enough motivation to make myself a quiche. what a productive day!
