#selasi the baker

[iliveforyouilongforyouvesuvia]

I wonder where Selasi learned to bake bread.

Did he do an apprenticeship with another baker? Did he learn in Vesuvia? Inherit a family business?

Is the reason we never hear him talk about his own friends and family because he lost them all in the Plague?

What does he bake besides pumpkin bread???

Guys I need more Selasi fics

[meret118]

This week she talks with two former contestants on the U.K. reality show The Great British Bake Off (known in the U.S. as The Great British Baking Show) who forged an intergenerational friendship during the competition. They discuss the shared love of motorcycles that brought them together, the games they played during downtime on set, and how they stay close with each other as well as all the other bakers from their season.

The Friends: Selasi Gbormittah, 33, a banker who lives in LondonVal Stones, 68, a (semi) retired teacher who lives in Somerset

Kyle's 5W's and How

After thinking about this for a bit, I decided to use this to dive into Kyle a bit more and hopefully show why I love him. This is inspired by @sweetestlittledarling's post.

(Note; this takes place post-plague and pre-game. Think a few days before the game is set.)

Who is Kyle?

Kyle is a young magician's apprentice who's around two years younger than Asra.

He has bright blue eyes with small islands of green scattered throughout them. This is due to having segmented heterochromia in both eyes. (He has been told he has the world in his eyes.)

He has short, fluffy, bright red hair that's less curly than Asra's but just as fluffy.

Kyle has a skin tone closest to Muriel's, but if you look closely, you can see little specks of dark skin (freckles) but also pale, harder-to-see ones.

Standing at a whopping 4'4, he makes even Portia look tall. His small height is surprisingly not genetic but rather a magic phenomenon that happens in his birth country. Birds, lizards, bats, dragons, fish, and plants all have the chance to be a lot smaller than normal. This magic means that if Kyle had kids, he would be as safe as a normal-sized person having a baby in those times.

Having ADHD and ASD He has sensitivities to certain textures and flavors. Being sensitive to both spicy food and minty food, while absolutely loving Selasi's mint tea due to the baker making sure to make his cup mild mint instead of the normal rich flavor that causes Kyle to reflexively scrunch up his nose. Some textures he's sensitive to are silk; he loves the feeling of silk clothes, but one time when Asra swapped the bed cover with silk, it left Kyle sleeping downstairs until it was changed back. Don't worry, Asra was able to repurpose it into a bunch of different items and arts and crafts projects. Nothing was wasted.)

While I don't tend to do voice claims, I did it for Kyle and a few other characters and used this as the voice claim for Kyle, with the difference being that Kyle has a Kiwi accent. But this is close to what I imagine his tone, pitch, etc. to sound like.

What is Kyle?

I could give the generic answer of, well, Kyle is a human moving on. However, I want to dive into this a bit. What makes Kyle who he is?

I could see an answer of his free spirit. But what does that actually mean to Kyle as a person? Since it's not always exploring, it's the way he pauses to watch a leaf fall, to watch a bird hop around, the way he goes into new shops he's never been in just to look around.

But that isn't all of it.

He's kind. Another vague word. Which in this case is his ability to stand up for others even when it's scary. The way he sometimes brings a huge pot down to the beach to make a ton of soup for those who need it. The way he will go out of his way to help those he can.

Yet, even then, he'd argue those are more selfish than kind. He brings soup to hear stories, and because he's not feeling good, he helps people because it makes him feel good.

In reality, asking the 'what' is always going to be harder than the 'who.'

Why is Kyle Kyle?

This might be a stupid question on the surface, but why is Kyle the way he is?

Diving pre-plague, a lot of his formative years were spent around a tropical forest, large trees, large birds, humid air, and mild winters.

But the earliest thing to define him was in his original home being ignored by the elders. Being allowed to wonder while being small meant he was easy prey for large birds, and while he obviously survived all the attacks, it did leave him with scars on his shoulders.

Then there was the time he snuck onto a boat to join his dad on a trip and accidently caused his dad's death. (The boat crashing didn't kill him, but by the time Kyle got help, a flock of StormBird's had gotten him. Giant birds that fly around during heavy storms looking for food.)

Then in his new home, he was told who he should be by different people who had different wants for him.

Having his home burned down in front of him, he became a pirate for a few years as free passage towards Vesuvia, where he heard of someone who shared a last name.

Finally learning magic from his aunt.

A lot has shaped Kyle, and while it's been long forgotten by Kyle himself, he will always carry the scars of how it shaped who he is as a person.

When is Kyle, Kyle?

Kyle is mostly himself when he forgets about thinking; a few examples are;

When the shop is filled with people as Kyle bounces between customer service, helping people find items, and restocking shelves.

Birdwatching/animal watching. Even if it's watching Faust make her way from one side of the shop to the other.

Half asleep cuddles with Asra, where his brain is turned off and he's already halfway towards sleeping.

Speaking of half asleep, also early mornings when Kyle is just waking up.

So basically whenever he isn't overthinking himself or the world around him and can just enjoy being alive.

How is Kyle?

He's good.

He hides his insecurity about his height by playing into his childish clothing choice and baby face. Using any infantilization of him to the person's disadvantage as he analyzes everyone as thoroughly as Nadia does.

While he appears cheerful and sweet, the truth is he just likes being happy. He likes being able to openly smile to openly laugh and to try his hardest to look on the bright side. While he does have pessimistic thoughts, he buries them with kindness to himself and others. 'What if his friends secretly hate him?' 'Then it's on them for not telling him, and all he can do is try his best to be the best person he can be.' 'Nobody cares what he has to say?' 'He cares, and that's enough.'

While he isn't prone to depression, he needs support from people due to his ADHD and ASD. He won't remember to do certain things, and the shop and house will slowly clutter and fall apart around him. Which will cause him to suffer through depressive episodes as he loses control of his environment, leaving it inhabitable. Kyle is unable to fully take care of himself, and he knows this. This is why he has Bluebell and Hunter as friends who'll check in and help him when Asra's away on long trips.

He's braver than he thinks he is. Partly due to ASD and partly due to learning in a supportive environment, he doesn't fear people as much as he used to. Making him more and more willing to stand up to people who are otherwise scary. Muriel is nearly twice his height, and yet the only time in the game he's ever felt scared of Muriel was one time in Nadia's route, where Muriel suddenly stands between him and the bear carving, towering over him, and twice in Asra's route, once during a dream and once during their first? meeting. Even when scared, he's calm trusting himself and his ability to handle the situation. He's willing to face Muriel head-on, not because he thinks he could take Muriel in a fight but because he trusts himself and his magic to be able to get him away before a fight breaks out or before he gets hit. A shield spell to block the blow and retreating.

Despite being quite smart, he feels like an absolute idiot a lot. Yet he knows deep down this is just his own insecurities and works through this by writing things down to help with his sometimes horrible working memory and short-term memory.

He knows he's not perfect and has learned how to be okay with that and, over time, how to forgive himself more than he used to be able to do. And because of that, he's good.

MC Forgets Asra's Birthday

OH SHIT I FORGOT TO WRITE ANYTHING HERE YOU GO ANYWAY AHAHAHAHA?? So this gets to be about MC forgetting Asras birthday lol. Now, just know that this is kind of a long bit of writing and it is NOT edited.

(Under the cut because it is a lot)

"...MC?"

You hear the sheets rustling as Asra searches them for you, but he stops once he realizes you're getting ready to go out.

You turn to him, greeting his sleepily confused face with a good morning and a quick explanation as to why you're going out. So many things to do! You can't remember the last time you were this busy. That's what you get for procrastinating, though...

"Mmn, alright then," he looks at you with a curious expression on his face, before it's overtaken by his signature sly smirk. There's something else he wants to say but he's holding back. You're too quick out the door to find out what it is.

You'll need to stop by the market. Dried plants and teas need restocking so you'll have to hit a few different stalls, and you should get something for Asra too, he seemed out of it this morning.

After you've picked out a small sackful of rosemary sprigs you feel around in your bag for coins and realize you've forgotten your wallet.

You apologize to the vendor and dash home, searching for your coin pouch.

"Asra, have you seen–" you're taken aback by the sight of him having a mug of tea with the countess.

"–my coin pouch," you finish.

"Can't say I have," he looks away, letting out a huff as if he was expecting you to say something else.

Nadia smiles pleasantly at you. You would stay to chat but you're really in a hurry and run right back out.

You were so sure it was in your bag...

Just to be sure, you reach in to check again. Lo and behold, it's right there where you left it this morning.

Irritation washes over you.

Alright, then. You head back to the market to buy something, but you find your coin pouch has been completely emptied.

Back home. Back out.

You're running now, trying to get all the places you need to go on time. It's rush hour at the market now, so you'd better head somewhere else before it dies down. There's a lump of something wrapped in linen you need to deliver to Selasi.

You sprint as hard as you can before basically crashing into the baker, who is standing outside holding a sack of flour.

"MC! Have you brought me that basil resin?" He asks, glancing at your bag.

"Matter of fact, I have," you open your bag and pull out–

–nothing. It's gone.

You drop the bag to the ground and start rummaging profusely. It's in there. You know it's in there.

"Ah, if you don't have it some other time is okay too, yeah?" The baker shifts the flour in their arms.

"...yeah," you agree.

It's already mid afternoon and you've somehow managed to get absolutely nothing done. By the time you're back to the shop, Muriel is sitting on the ground next to Asra, who is shuffling a deck of cards in his hands (you can see the aces up his sleeves, you think Muriel can too). Asra sure has a lot of visitors today...

"Where have you put that lump of resin for Selasi?" You wonder, throwing open the cabinets.

Asra looks a little concerned.

"You... Packed that this morning, MC. Are you feeling alright?" His brows furrow in that innocent, worried sort of way.

You nod, turning to leave when you feel his hand close around your wrist.

"Faust. Have you seen Faust?" He's a little more tense than usual...

You explain to him that you haven't, and walk away.

Back outside yet again. You're not running anymore, there doesn't seem to be any point. It's raining a little now, you think that summarizes your mood pretty well. All that stuff you wanted to do today, and you couldn't do anything; you feel a little useless. You're scared you'll start crying when you feel a comforting squeeze on your left arm.

Asra! Faust slithers up your arm and curls around your shoulders.

"...Asra." You repeat, not thinking much of it.

Asra!!!!

"Faust, what's wrong?" You glance at her little face looking expectantly up at you.

Need to go back

You stop walking, rain pouring over your face. Then you see Faust drop a bundle of resin on the wet pavement.

Suddenly, you think of your missing things.

"Faust! Have you been taking my things all day?" Why would she do anything like that?

Birthday!!!!!!!!!

What?

No.

Oh shit.

It completely slipped your mind.

It's Asra's birthday. Faust's too. You look at Faust in complete shock as you realize: Faust has been trying to get you home with Asra all day. That explains all the visitors, all the missing things, it explains everything.

You hug her the best you can hug a snake and you get back to running. For a different reason this time, though. You're going to need a gift and one hell of an apology.

---

The bedroom door creaks open, there are no more visitors, and the curtains are closed. Asra is underneath a blanket, curled up with an entire pint of ice cream (mood).

"Asra?" You place the gift you bought for him aside, feeling guilt hit you like a train.

You shed your soaked outer layer of clothing and sidle under the blanket next to him, faust in your arms.

"MC! Where have you been all day?" Asra exclaimed, reaching out to take Faust.

You start rambling about how truly deeply intensely sorry you are, and how you forgot completely, and how you were so busy.

He sighs, trying to show his exasperation. The way he's latched onto your waist undermines the affect, though.

You sit like that for a while before he breaks the silence.

"I just wanted you to come home, silly," Asra mumbles into your hair.

"I don't suppose you'll want to see what I've got you, then?"

His eyes dart curiously over to what you've presented to him. You pull it up onto the bed, watching him open the box. Out comes a hunk of cake, a bundle of belladonna blooms, and a silver bangle made up of intertwining wires wrapped around gems.

"Thank you," he mutters, shutting his eyes and burying it in the side of your neck.

Asra grins.

"Don't suppose this means you'll get the dishes after we have dinner with my parents too?"

Okay another question

In the (as far as I'm aware) beginning stages of the Arcana, Selasi is called just "the baker".

The question is, since I'm doing a word for word rewrite, should I stick to this as his tag? Or should I give him the respect he deserves, as the one responsible for the iconic pumpkin bread and change them all to Selasi?

Short Story Taglist

I’ve been meaning to compile a list of content tags I will commonly use, and their meanings. This both gives me a handy reference to use when I’m finalizing everything to post—because honestly I blank out on how to tag it once I get to that point, lol—and I figure I’d post it as both a reference for my own readers and a potential resource for other minific authors here on Tumblr.

This list will be updated as needed; and if you have any tag you think should be added, please comment your suggestions!

I will not be adding tags for certain taboo subjects, as that content will never be on my blog and I’m sure those who write it already know how to properly tag it.

I will not be adding ship tags because frankly there are too many to add.

Please note that this list contains Content Warning tags.

Im bored at work so give me all your mcs their favourite foods and colours.

x

Questions 5 & 6

Favorite Food and Favorite Color

Lyari

Selasi's pumpkin bread can be beaten out by no other in his eyes. Just like you can't out pizza the hut, you can't out pumpkin bread the baker.

Their favorite color changes every week. On one day itll be purple, the next itll be red.

Marsom

He loves a good borscht but only when he makes it. He's had others but they just dont quite add up. Plus there's always that satisfaction of making it yourself. Sourcing the ingredients, slaving over the stove, adjusting the spices, playing it by ear every time, etc.

His favorite color is a mix up between green and teal. He can't quite decide.

Osanna

None honestly. If she really had to pick then she'd supposed pasta would be the lesser of the evils. It goes down easy, yknow?

Pink is her absolute favorite. Has been since she was a little girl. Even with her memory loss, she chose it time and time again.

Samuel

He had already loved Mazelinka's soup when he'd first gotten his hands on it. She could be brash, sure, but it felt like it was made with love... but then Julian and Portia took him to Nevivon. He'll swear to the day he dies that Mazelinka's is the best, but he's been craving the soup they made there ever since that trip.

Purple! He loves how well it goes with his hair.

Seli

It might be a little basic, but she really likes salads. They're easy to take with her places. Versatile in taste. You can add basically anything. Portia makes some mean garden salads too from her harvests.

[TBD because she has been the hardest for me to figure out a color scheme for 🥲]

Tai

They can't get enough of a fresh vegetable or fruit. Anything that was grown with love and care. Their favorite favorites, though, are the root vegetables. So much earthy flavor! Oh, you want a specific answer? You can't possibly make them chose!

Call them boring or say its not a color, but they love white. Yeah, thats the color of the only clothes they've had, but it just goes with everything!

Vaura

Having to travel so much, they can't say they really have a favorite. Mostly its just field rations. If you were to ask them they'd say "Jerky?" and leave it at that.

Just like their love, gold is a must have. It's their favorite after all. Why skimp on it?

[obscurecharactershowdown]

I'm curious! Were there any characters that didn't make the cut that stood out to you?

Oh, tons! I had a number of characters who were almost included, but ultimately weren't, for various reasons. Mostly relating to bracket size. A few include Nisha (Princess Jellyfish), Peter Grant (Rivers of London), Shirou Ogami (Brand New Animal), Ritsu (Kemirukusa), Lava P. Grasshop (Spider Riders), Selphy (Rune Factory Frontier), V (Mystic Messenger), Cricket O'Dell (Archie comics), Pizzazz (Jem and the Holograms), and Access Time (Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne).

Sort of related, I forgot to include this character in my s/o post, but the submission for Selasi the baker from The Arcana was so funny, there was no propaganda and the link in the image section led to this

[drustvar]

🍄 APPRENTICEMBER - Day 5 🍄

Do they have any other friends outside of canon? What about the minor characters? 

Rosie has many friends that belong to other people!! ♥ You know who you are ♥ But I will just be covering the Arcana's characters in this post Selasi the Baker: Very close friends and in any timeline where Rosie isn't the apprentice I could see them having a romance or even getting married. In my HC he didn't arrive in Vesuvia until after the Plague had ended, so fortunately he didn't lose any memories or have to deal with the horror of seeing one of your friends who HAD been dead suddenly up and walking around. Mazelinka: Rosie ADORES her! Their magic is very similar so they bonded quickly over that. NGL Rosie probably in a way sees her as a replacement mother figure lmao

[iliveforyouilongforyouvesuvia]

Cannot get over how Scout carries around a blanket and picnic items and uses them in route during stressful quests because yes, self care and breaks are important

We've never seen the two meet but I like to think that once Scout meets Selasi the two form an unbreakable bond over bread breaks and a love for observing the tea from a healthy distance

[claudia-nomusaabara]

Apprenticember Day 5

Part 2

Bhekithemba's friends

For Bhekithemba, he has the same amount of friends as his older sister does in her routes.

Selasi: He is the main friend all three of my apprentices share but Bhekit's relationship with him is slightly different. I could see Claudia confiding in Selasi about what happened and how her brother is back from death once Asra and Muriel are gone.

The baker did what he could to help the Abara siblings when he could, especially making their favorite doughnuts as a treat.

Bhekit when he was being rehabilitated and afterward would help Selasi around his bakery. The Abara brother, despite being a mystery to his neighbors, easily attracted paying customers due to his looks and personality.

Other times he would just stop in just to talk whenever the other wasn't busy.

Andi, the fruit juice vendor: He's a middle-aged vendor that tends to hang around the Vesuvian fountain, where he and Bhekithemba first met. Bhekit was on his second year back from the dead and he was learning how the world worked again.

He was out shopping and learning with Claudia when he saw Andi's cart of fresh fruit and poured fresh orange juice. Claudia would tell the story of how Bhekit wouldn't leave until he got a drink and some mangos from the gentleman.

In what little Vesuvian he re-learned from his sister, he asked Andi for a drink and fruit.

Then all three of them stuck around and hung out for at least an hour. Bhek would go back by himself when he could and even met his wife and two children. Andi resided close to the Flooded district but moved his family a safer once area got worse.

[appentice-ebony]

I fell waaay behind on @ghoulfriendfangs​‘ apprenticember, but I’m giving it another go!

6. Now, do they have any rivals? Maybe even a WORST ENEMY!? Spill the deets now!

Ebony absolutely loathes Lucio with their whole being, but the sentiment isn’t returned until later in their story because Lucio doesn’t really notice them. So it’s a fairly one-sided worst enemy. They don’t have time for or interest in rivals though.

7. Second week! Let’s go back to their physical description, but go even deeper! Do they have tattoos, piercings, scars, etc? What sort of clothes do they like?

They have fairly simple ear-piercings, but honestly for the most part they’re physically very basic. They definitely prefer to accessorise with clothes, hair, and accessories rather than alter their body. They’re also a very careful person and have only had their body for three years, so any wounds were minor and healed quick.

8. Now let’s give their familiar the spotlight! Tell us all about them!

I actually have a post about that here!

9. Do they have a patron arcana? Who is it? What’s their relationship like?

10. What is their relationship to the other arcana like?

Unfortunantly I cannot answer these 2 cause idk enough about arcana stuff

11. Do they have a gateway? What does it look like? If they don’t have one, describe their ideal spot instead.

Currently Ebony doesn’t visit their gateway often so it’s very underdeveloped, but I would definitely like to expand that more in future. For now, it’s just a vague foresty area with glowy lights and a nearby ocean.

12. What does their home look like? Their room?

In-game they live at the shop, then at Muriel’s house with brief stays at the palace. In any situation, they keep their own room very neat and tidy, with big windows and flowy curtains. Also, lots of shelves for trinkets. Kinda bare-bones otherwise, but generally very comfortable.

The only thing I’ve drawn so far is that sometimes they sleep in a hammock.

13. Can they cook? What’s their favorite meal?

Ebony absolutely cannot cook to save their life! They are absolutely excellent at prepping ingredients though, so they’re a good cooking partner. It’s just that once any form of heat comes in to play they’re completely lost, and if it’s more than 2 ingredients they’re sure to put in the wrong amounts.

For a meal their favorite is any kind of spiced soup with freshly made bread, but their absolute favorite Food is pumpkin bread. They don’t remember it, but Selasi the baker is their father; the pumpkin bread is kind of the only thing that survived the amnesia.

14. What does their magic look/feel like?

Ebony’s magic tends to manifest in mostly blue, green, and yellow colors. There’s guaranteed to be a glowy glittery effect to it no matter what magic it is. Their magic always gives off a very calm feeling, even in battle. I like to make it as visible as possible in the artwork I do of them.

15. What are they proudest of?

Ooooo interesting question! Honestly, they’re probably proudest of being such a good friend and ally to the LIs. Just being kind and empathetic helped change the course of Vesuvian history!

But secretly they’re most proud of the one time they made pumpkin bread successfully XD

[graphitesatellite]

Uh, hi!

Could you do a request on how the M6 would react to Mc being in a carriage crash (car crash?)

So basically they were walking around town one day and while they're walking across the street to get to Selasi's bakery (I think that's the baker's name?) to get some pumpkin bread and they don't notice the carriage about to hit them so the Mc pushes them out of the way and gets hit instead and is badly injured.

Thank you in advance if you decide to write this

:)

I love how this request isn’t just asking “what if MC was in a carriage crash?”

It’s asking “what if MC was in a carriage crash right in front of their LI because in the heat of the moment they would rather let themselves get hurt than watch the love of their life suffer?”

That just has so much angst potential, it’s scrumptious

You just know there’s gonna be so many tears and questions of “why would you ever do that?” leading from the Hurt to the Comfort (because the comfort aspect is essential)

Thanks so much for sending this in <3

[empanator]

I know there’s no official art or sprites in The Arcana for Selasi the baker, but keep in mind that he was confirmed to be based on Selasi Gbormittah (known by many as a former Great British Bake-Off competitor).

Which means he’s probably supposed to resemble this:

[wiltingdecay]

rowan accidentally called selasi "dad" once and asra has never let them forget about it
