I wrote a... fan-recipe? Truly no self control here if we're at the point where a fictional sandwich can take over my brain. Anyway thank you Aabria Iyengar for mashing together my grandmother's favourite summer starter of melon & cured ham and the revelation that was Austrian Tafelspitz marrow on toast.
Check out the winter-summer sandwich rendered by the Messrs. Callum magic cookbots' hivemind here:
Marrow-Melon Marvel

Iâm so tired of wlw background ships in mlm fandoms.
mlm shippers almost never develop wlw ships to the degree that the audience feels invested in them. The conflict and character development and love story rely on tropes rather than actual narratives, yet fandoms act like theyâre doing wlws a favour by shoehorning in this shitty ârepresentationâ when itâs just golden retriever x black cat over and over and over again in different fonts.
To be clear I donât blame anyone for not having big wlw ships, because most major media out there do not have two fully fledged female characters you can ship together. If you want to write mlm ships, good for you! If you want a lazy wlw ship in the background, thatâs fine! But donât act as if the fandom actually cares about them, or that anyone did the legwork to make them characters that you can care about. Most of these female characters are never properly developed in the canon source material, and theyâre almost never properly developed in the fanon material either. You can always tell by how these women are like, one archetype + gay (sporty gay, feisty gay, slutty gay etc, like some kind of gay Spice Girls). Yet fandoms just love to act like these background wlws mean so much & have the best love stories & everyone just should ship them. Itâs all so performative.
wlws are not an aesthetic. wlws are not 2D happy couples to round out your queer utopia, a queer utopia that somehow still manages to foreground men. Women are always treated as 2D characters in narratives, except now thereâs a subgenre where these 2D women are gay. Groundbreaking.
#Itâs not just fan works btw.Glee kinda did this with Klaine and BrittanaâŚtake a guess wrt which of these ships the creators cared more about#Women are accessories and now they get to be gay accessories. Wonderful#Letâs not even get into how women (like Katara)âs characteristics are given to a man to round out a mlm ship like wtf?#and Iâm not saying you canât have mlm ships (wolfstar owns my soul personally)#& the lack of wlw ships in general is a media issue not an issue of any individual fan#however the utilization of wlws as an aesthetic in service of an mlm ship and the posturing that comes with thatâŚdef a fandom issue#fandom salt#anti zukka#i kinda like MaiLee but thatâs def their role in Zukka#anti jegulus#I assume Jegulus is where stuff like posturing re Dorlene and Marylily come fromâŚ#like why would I care when no one is writing 500k word slow burns?

all the people saying "kalina could be good" no you don't fucking get it. i don't want her to be good i want her to be evil. i want her to be a corruption. i want her to be a disease. i want her to be a lieutenant bent on championing her dead commander's cause. i want her to be stubborn and angry and cruel. i want her to be a cunty villain. thank you.
#fantasy high#dimension 20#be so fucking for real kalina does not need a redemption arc. she is a perfect villain. let evil characters be evil im so tired of putting#them in therapy for fan service.#a little bit of salt but also first and foremost a kalina appreciation post <333

That moment when a piece of media tries to criticize your beliefs while getting them so laughably wrong theyâre just attacking a nice prickly scarecrow
#hazbin critical#block this tag if you donât want to hear my salt#i got through episode 5 and just felt frustrated like these people donât portray christianity accurately at all to criticize it#at that point just set the story in a fantasy world and do your silly little âlip service to redemptionâ act there#christianity#christian#god#jesus#chrumblr#media#criticism#controversial#opinion

Something I find irritating about the minor resurgence in discourse about totk's story and its ideological standings is the argument that Zelda games have always had uncompromising black and white morality, so any criticism of Hyrule/Rauru/Sonia is inherently futile.
That's not entirely correct. It's true that Zelda games have fairly obvious good guys and bad guys, but plenty of Zelda games have touched on the flaws of Hyrule's monarchy. For example, there's the Shadow temple and bottom of the well from OoT, the twilight realm from TP, BotW's pre-calamity flashbacks, basically all of windwaker's final act, etc. Even Skyward Sword -and as much as I love that game it does have some unfortunate 'divine right of kings' implications to it- is more critical of Hylia's plan and the effect it has on the people involved than anything totk's cast can muster up about Rauru. Zelda games having simple stories that their intended audience can grasp doesn't mean that they haven't at least attempted to touch on more complicated moral questions in the past.
I can't speak for everyone but I and most other people I see in the totk critical tags don't mean I want this children's game to provide a definitive critique of divinely-ordained monarchy when I discuss Ganondorf's complete lack of motivations or the story's refusal to question Rauru's leadership the way previous games questioned Rhoam, Daphnes, or Hylia. I know Nintendo aren't gonna bother fitting a scholarly review of fantasy imperialism between the archery and bowling minigames, but I'd be more willing to accept that if they would at least give the central narrative a shred of nuance or staying power in return.

Tell Your Dad You Love Him
A retelling of "Meat Loves Salt"/"Cap O'Rushes" for the @inklings-challenge Four Loves event
An old king had three daughters. When his health began to fail, he summoned them, and they came.
Gordonia and Rowan were already waiting in the hallway when Coriander arrived. They were leaned up against the wall opposite the kingâs office with an air of affected casualness. âI wonder what the old war horse wants today?â Rowan was saying. âMore about next yearâs political appointments, I shouldnât wonder.â
âThe older he gets, the more he micromanages,â Gordonia groused fondly. âA thousand dollars says this meeting couldâve been an email.â
They filed in single-file like theyâd so often done as children: Gordonia first, then Rowan, and Coriander last of all. The king had placed three chairs in front of his desk all in a row. His daughters murmured their greetings, and one by one they sat down.Â
âI have divided everything I have in three,â the king said. âI am old now, and itâs time. Today, I will pass my kingdom on to you, my daughters.â
A short gasp came from Gordonia. None of them could have imagined that their father would give up running his kingdom while he still lived.Â
The king went on. âI know you will deal wisely with that which I leave in your care. But before we begin, I have one request.â
âYes father?â said Rowan.
âTell me how much you love me.â
An awkward silence fell. Although there was no shortage of love between the king and his daughters, theirs was not a family which spoke of such things. They were rich and blue-blooded: a soldier and the daughters of a soldier, a king and his three court-reared princesses. The royal family had always shown their affection through double meanings and hot cups of coffee.
Gordonia recovered herself first. She leaned forward over the desk and clasped her fatherâs hands in her own. âFather,â she said, âI love you more than I can say.â A pause. âI donât think thereâs ever been a family so happy in love as we have been. Youâre a good dad.â
The old king smiled and patted her hand. âThank you, Gordonia. We have been very happy, havenât we? Here is your inheritance. Cherish it, as I cherish you.â
Rowan spoke next; the words came tumbling out. âFather! Thereâs not a thing in my life which you didnât give me, and all the joy in the world beside. Come now, Gordonia, thereâs no need to understate the matter. I love you more thanâwhy, more than life itself!â
The king laughed, and rose to embrace his second daughter. âHow you delight me, Rowan. All of this will be yours.â
Only Coriander remained. As her sisters had spoken, sheâd wrung her hands in her lap, unsure of what to say. Did her father really mean for flattery to be the price of her inheritance? That just wasnât like him. For all that he was a politician, heâd been a soldier first. He liked it when people told the truth.
When the kingâs eyes came to rest on her, Coriander raised her own to meet them. âDo you really want to hear what you already know?âÂ
âI do.â
She searched for a metaphor that could carry the weight of her love without unnecessary adornment. At last she found one, and nodded, satisfied. âDad, youâre likeâlike salt in my food.â
âLike salt?â
âWellâyes.â
The kingâs broad shoulders seemed to droop. For a moment, Coriander almost took back her words. Her father was the strongest man in the world, even now, at eighty. Sheâd watched him argue with foreign rulers and wage wars all her life. Nothing could hurt him. Could he really be upset?Â
But no. Coriander held her fatherâs gaze. She had spoken true. What harm could be in that?
âI donât know why youâre even here, Cor,â her father said.
Now, Coriander shifted slightly in her seat, unnerved. âWhat? Fatherââ
âIt would be best ifâyou should go,â said the old king.
âFather, you canât really meanââ
âLeave us, Coriander.â
So she left the kingâs court that very hour.
 .
It had been a long time since sheâd gone anywhere without a chauffeur to drive her, but Corianderâs thoughts were flying apart too fast for her to be afraid. She didnât know where she would go, but she would make do, and maybe someday her father would puzzle out her metaphor and call her home to him. Coriander had to hope for that, at least. The loss of her inheritance didnât feel real yet, but her fatherâhow could he not know that she loved him? Sheâd said it every day.
Sheâd played in the hall outside that same office as a child. Sheâd told him her secrets and her fears and sent him pictures on random Tuesdays when they were in different cities just because. She had watched him triumph in conference rooms and on the battlefield and sheâd wanted so badly to be like him.Â
If her father doubted her love, then maybe heâd never noticed any of it. Maybe the love had been an unnoticed phantasm, a shadow, a song sung to a deaf man. Maybe all that love had been nothing at all. Â
A storm was on the horizon, and it reached her just as she made it onto the highway. Lightning flashed and thunder rolled. Rain poured down and flooded the road. Before long, Coriander was hydroplaning. Frantically, she tried to remember what you were supposed to do when that happened. Pump the brakes? She tried. No use. Wasnât there something different you did if the car had antilock brakes? Or was that for snow? What else, what elseâ
With a sickening crunch, her car hit the guardrail. No matter. Corianderâs thoughts were all frenzied and distant. She climbed out of the car and just started walking.
Coriander wandered beneath an angry sky on the great white plains of her fatherâs kingdom. The rain beat down hard, and within seconds she was soaked to the skin. The storm buffeted her long hair around her head. It tangled together into long, matted cords that hung limp down her back. Mud soiled her fine dress and splattered onto her face and hands. There was water in her lungs and it hurt to breathe. Oh, let me die here, Coriander thought. Thereâs nothing left for me, nothing at all. She kept walking.
 .
When she opened her eyes, Coriander found herself in a dank gray loft. She was lying on a strange feather mattress.
She remained there a while, looking up at the rafters and wondering where she could be. She thought and felt, as it seemed, through a heavy and impenetrable mist; she was aware only of hunger and weakness and a dreadful chill (though she was all wrapped in blankets). She knew that a long time must have passed since she was fully aware, though she had a confused memory of wandering beside the highway in a thunderstorm, slowly going mad becauseâbecauseâ oh, thereâd been something terrible in her dreams. Her father, shoulders drooping at his desk, and her sisters happily come into their inheritance, and she cast into exileâ
She shuddered and sat up dizzily. âOh, mercy,â she murmured. She hadnât been dreaming.
She stumbled out of the loft down a narrow flight of stairs and came into a strange little room with a single window and a few shabby chairs. Still clinging to the rail, she heard a ruckus from nearby and then footsteps. A plump woman came running to her from the kitchen, wiping her hands on her apron and softly clucking at the state of her guestâs matted, tangled hair.
âDear, dear,â said the woman. âHereâs my hand, if youâre still unsteady. Thatâs good, good. Donât be afraid, child. Iâm Katherine, and my husband is Folke. He found you collapsed by the goose-pond night before last. Iâm she who dressed youâyour fine gown was ruined, Iâm afraid. Would you like some breakfast? Thereâs coffee on the counter, and weâll have porridge in a minute if youâre patient.â
âThank you,â Coriander rasped.
âWill you tell me your name, my dear?â
âI have no name. Thereâs nothing to tell.â
Katherine clicked her tongue. âThatâs alright, no need to worry. Folke and Iâve been calling you Rush on account of your poor hair. I donât know if youâve seen yourself, but it looks a lot like river rushes. No, donât get up. Hereâs your breakfast, dear.â
There was indeed porridge, as Katherine had promised, served with cream and berries from the garden. Coriander ate hungrily and tasted very little. Then, when she was finished, the goodwife ushered her over to a sofa by the window and put a pillow beneath her head. Coriander thanked her, and promptly fell asleep.
 .
She woke again around noon, with the pounding in her head much subsided. She woke feeling herself again, to visions of her father inches away and the sound of his voice cracking across her name.
Katherine was outside in the garden; Coriander could see her through the clouded window above her. She rose and, upon finding herself still in a borrowed nightgown, wrapped herself in a blanket to venture outside.
âFeeling better?â Katherine was kneeling in a patch of lavender, but she half rose when she heard the cottage door open.
âMuch. Thank you, maâam.
âNo thanks necessary. Folke and I are ministers, of a kind. We keep this cottage for lost and wandering souls. Youâre free to remain here with us for as long as you need.â
âOh,â was all Coriander could think to say.Â
âYouâve been through a tempest, havenât you? Are you well enough to tell me where you came from?â
Coriander shifted uncomfortably. âIâm from nowhere,â she said. âI have nothing.â
âYou donât owe me your story, child. I should like to hear it, but it will keep till youâre ready. Now, why donât you put on some proper clothes and come help me with this weeding.â
 .
Coriander remained at the cottage with Katherine and her husband Folke for a week, then a fortnight. She slept in the loft and rose with the sun to help Folke herd the geese to the pond. After, Coriander would return and see what needed doing around the cottage. She liked helping Katherine in the garden.
The grass turned gold and the geeseâs thick winter down began to come in. Corianderâs river-rush hair proved itself unsalvageable. She spent hours trying to untangle it, first with a hairbrush, then with a fine-tooth comb and a bottle of conditioner, and eventually even with honey and olive oil (a home remedy that Folke said his mother used to use). So, at last, Coriander surrendered to the inevitable and gave Katherine permission to cut it off. One night, by the yellow light of the bare bulb that hung over the kitchen table, Katherine draped a towel over Corianderâs shoulders and tufts of gold went falling to the floor all round her.
âIâm here because I failed at love,â she managed to tell the couple at last, when her sorrows began to feel more distant. âI loved my father, and he knew it not.â
Folke and Katherine still called her Rush. She didnât correct them. Coriander was the name her parents gave her. It was the name her father had called her when she was six and racing down the stairs to meet him when he came home from Europe, and at ten when she showed him the new song sheâd learned to play on the harp. Sheâd been Cor when she brought her first boyfriend home and Cori the first time she shadowed him at court. Coriander, Coriander, when she came home from college the first time and heâd hugged her with bruising strength. Her strong, powerful father.
As she seasoned a pot of soup for supper, she wondered if he understood yet what sheâd meant when she called him salt in her food.Â
 .
Coriander had been living with Katherine and Folke for two years, and it was a morning just like any other. She was in the kitchen brewing a pot of coffee when Folke tossed the newspaper on the table and started rummaging in the fridge for his orange juice. âLooks like the old kingâs sick again,â he commented casually. Coriander froze.
She raced to the table and seized hold of the paper. There, above the fold, big black letters said, KING ADMITTED TO HOSPITAL FOR EMERGENCY TREATMENT. There was a picture of her father, looking older than sheâd ever seen him. Her knees went wobbly and then suddenly the room was sideways.
Strong arms caught her and hauled her upright. âWhatâs wrong, Rush?â
âWhat if he dies,â she choked out. âWhat if he dies and I never got to tell him?â
She looked up into Folkeâs puzzled face, and then the whole sorry story came tumbling out.
When she was through, Katherine (who had come downstairs sometime between salt and the storm) took hold of her hand and kissed it. âBless you, dear,â she said. âI never would have guessed. Maybe itâs best that youâve both had some time to think things over.â
Katherine shook her head. âBut donât you thinkâŚ?â
âYes?â
âWell, donât you think he should have known that I loved him? I shouldnât have needed to say it. Heâs my father. Heâs the king.â
Katherine replied briskly, as though the answer should have been obvious. âHeâs only human, child, for all that he might wear a crown; heâs not omniscient. Why didnât you tell your father what he wanted to hear?â
âI didnât want to flatter him,â said Coriander. âThat was all. I wanted to be right in what I said.â
The goodwife clucked softly. âOh dear. Donât you know that sometimes, itâs more important to be kind than to be right?â
.
In her leave-taking, Coriander tried to tell Katherine and Folke how grateful she was to them, but they wouldnât let her. They bought her a bus ticket and sent her on her way towards Kingâs City with plenty of provisions. Two days later, Coriander stood on the back steps of one of the palace outbuildings with her little carpetbag clutched in her hands.Â
Stuffing down the fear of being recognized, Coriander squared her shoulders and hoped they looked as strong as her fatherâs. She rapped on the door, and presently a maid came and opened it. The maid glanced Coriander up and down, but after a moment it was clear that her disguise held. With all her long hair shorn off, she must have looked like any other girl come in off the street.
âIâm here about a job,â said Coriander. âMy nameâs Rush.â
 .
The king's chambers were half-lit when Coriander brought him his supper, dressed in her servantsâ apparel. He grunted when she knocked and gestured with a cane towards his bedside table. His hair was snow-white and he was sitting in bed with his work spread across a lap-desk. His motions were very slow.
Coriander wanted to cry, seeing her father like that. Yet somehow, she managed to school her face. Like he would, she kept telling herself. Stoically, she put down the supper tray, then stepped back out into the hallway.Â
It was several minutes more before the king was ready to eat. Coriander heard papers being shuffled, probably filed in those same manilla folders her father had always used. In the hall, Coriander felt the seconds lengthen. She steeled herself for the moment she knew was coming, when the king would call out in irritation, âGirl! What's the matter with my food? Why hasnât it got any taste?â
When that moment came, all would be made right. Coriander would go into the room and taste his food. âWhy,â she would say, with a look of complete innocence, âIt seems the kitchen forgot to salt it!â She imagined how her fatherâs face would change when he finally understood. My daughter always loved me, he would say.Â
Soon, soon. It would happen soon. Any second now.Â
The moment never came. Instead, the floor creaked, followed by the rough sound of a cane striking the floor. The door opened, and then the king was there, his mighty shoulders shaking. âCoriander,â he whispered.Â
âDad. You know me?â
âOf course.â
âThen you understand now?â
The kingâs wrinkled brow knit. âUnderstand about the salt? Of course, I do. It wasn't such a clever riddle. There was surely no need to ruin my supper with a demonstration.â
Coriander gaped at him. She'd expected questions, explanations, maybe apologies for sending her away. She'd never imagined this.
She wanted very badly to seize her father and demand answers, but then she looked, really looked, at the way he was leaning on his cane. The king was barely upright; his white head was bent low. Her questions would hold until she'd helped her father back into his room.Â
âIf you knew what I meantâby saying you were like salt in my foodâ then why did you tell me to go?â she asked once they were situated back in the royal quarters.Â
Idly, the king picked at his unseasoned food. âI shouldnât have done that. Forgive me, Coriander. My anger and hurt got the better of me, and it has brought me much grief. I never expected you to stay away for so long.â
Coriander nodded slowly. Her father's words had always carried such fierce authority. She'd never thought to question if he really meant what heâd said to her.Â
âAs for the salt,â continued the king, "Is it so wrong that an old man should want to hear his daughters say âI love you' before he dies?âÂ
Coriander rolled the words around in her head, trying to make sense of them. Then, with a sudden mewling sound from her throat, she managed to say, âThat's really all you wanted?â Â
âThat's all. I am old, Cor, and we've spoken too little of love in our house.â He took another bite of his unsalted supper. His hand shook. âThat was my failing, I suppose. Perhaps if Iâd said it, you girls would have thought to say it back.â
âBut father!â gasped Coriander, âThatâs not right. We've always known we loved one another! We've shown it a thousand ways. Why, I've spent the last year cataloging them in my head, and I've still not even scratched the surface!â
The king sighed. âPerhaps you will understand when your time comes. I knew, and yet I didn't. What can you really call a thing youâve never named? How do you know it exists? Perhaps all the love I thought I knew was only a figment.â
âBut thatâs what Iâve been afraid of all this time,â Coriander bit back. âHow could you doubt? If it was real at allâ how could you doubt?â
The kingâs weathered face grew still. His eyes fell shut and he squeezed them. âDeath is close to me, child. A small measure of reassurance is not so very much to ask.â
.
Coriander slept in her old rooms that night. None of it had changed. When she woke the next morning, for a moment she remembered nothing of the last two years.Â
She breakfasted in the garden with her father, who came down the steps in a chair-lift. âCoriander,â he murmured. âI half-thought I dreamed you last night.â
âIâm here, Dad,â she replied. âIâm not going anywhere.â
Slowly, the king reached out with one withered hand and caressed Coriander's cheek. Then, his fingers drifted up to what remained of her hair. He ruffled it, then gently tugged on a tuft the way he'd used to playfully tug her long braid when she was a girl.Â
âI love you,â he said.
âThat was always an I love you, wasnât it?â replied Coriander. âMy hair.â
The king nodded. âYes, I think it was.â
So Coriander reached out and gently tugged the white hairs of his beard. âYou too,â she whispered.
.
âWhy salt?â The king was sitting by the fire in his rooms wrapped in two blankets. Coriander was with him, enduring the sweltering heat of the room without complaint.Â
She frowned. âYou like honesty. We have that in common. I was trying to be honestâaccurateâto avoid false flattery.â
The king tugged at the outer blanket, saying nothing. His lips thinned and his eyes dropped to his lap. Coriander wished they wouldnât. She wished they would hold to hers, steely and ready for combat as they always used to be.
âWould it really have been false?â the king said at last. âWas there no other honest way to say it? Only salt?â
Coriander wanted to deny it, to give speech to the depth and breadth of her love, but once again words failed her. âIt was my fault,â she said. âI didnât know how to heave my heart into my throat.â She still didnât, for all she wanted to.Â
.
When the doctor left, the king was almost too tired to talk. His words came slowly, slurred at the edges and disconnected, like drops of water from a leaky faucet.Â
Still, Coriander could tell that he had something to say. She waited patiently as his lips and tongue struggled to form the words. âLove you⌠so⌠much⌠You⌠and⌠your sisters⌠Donât⌠worry⌠if you⌠canâtâŚsayâŚhowâŚmuch. I⌠know.âÂ
It was all effort. The king sat back when he was finished. Something was still spasming in his throat, and Coriander wanted to cry.
âIâm glad you know,â she said. âIâm glad. But I still want to tell you.â
Love was effort. If her father wanted words, she would give him words. True words. Kind words. She would tryâŚÂ
âI love you like salt in my food. You're desperately important to me, and you've always been there, and I don't know what I'll do without you. I donât want to lose you. And I love you like the soil in a garden. Like rain in the spring. Like a hero. You have the strongest shoulders of anyone I know, and all I ever wanted was to be like youâŚâ
A warm smile spread across the old kingâs face. His eyes drifted shut.
#inklingschallenge#theme: storge#story: complete#inklings challenge#leah stories#OKAY. SO#i spend so much time thinking about king lear. i think i've said before that it's my favorite shakespeare play. it is not close#and one of the hills i will die on is that cordelia was not in the right when she refused to flatter her dad#like. obviously he's definitely not in the right either. the love test was a screwed up way to make sure his kids loved him#he shouldn't have tied their inheritances into it. he DEFINITELY shouldn't have kicked cordelia out when she refused to play#but like. Cordelia. there is no good reason not to tell your elderly dad how much you love him#and okay obviously lear is my starting point but the same applies to the meat loves salt princess#your dad wants you to tell him you love him. there is no good reason to turn it into a riddle. you had other options#and honestly it kinda bothers me when people read cordelia/the princess as though she's perfectly virtuous#she's very human and definitely beats out the cruel sisters but she's definitely not aspirational. she's not to be emulated#at the end of the day both the fairytale and the play are about failures in storge#at happens when it's there and you can't tell. when it's not and you think it is. when you think you know someone's heart and you just don'#hey! that's a thing that happens all the time between parents and children. especially loving past each other and speaking different langua#so the challenge i set myself with this story was: can i retell the fairytale in such a way that the princess is unambiguously in the wrong#and in service of that the king has to get softened so his errors don't overshadow hers#anyway. thank you for coming to my TED talk#i've been thinking about this story since the challenge was announced but i wrote the whole thing last night after the super bowl#got it in under the wire! yay!#also! the whole 'modern setting that conflicts with the fairytale language' is supposed to be in the style of modern shakespeare adaptation#no idea if it worked but i had a lot of fun with it#pontifications and creations

I think most people would agree that gift giving is Zhongli's highest love language (giving). After that, I think would be words of affirmation, quality time, acts of service, then physical touch. As for his highest love language (receiving), it'd probably be quality time.
#genshin impact#zhongli#zhongli x reader#ngl i was torn between which would be his lowest#i mean logically it is physical touch#thats the obvious response#that being said zhongli views acts of service to be primarily transactional#not in a passive aggressive sense mind you#but he only engages in acts of service if it is according to the contract he has set in place#if it is not within the terms of the contract he will not act#just look at his voice lines#the traveler pays for all expenses incurred while he's on the team#an interesting note though is that while zhongli ranks high in words of affirmation (he does truly mean what he says) like....#everything must be taken with a grain of salt#esp when it has to do with his feelings toward a person#it's interesting as a whole#zhongli speaks openly and without hesitation regarding his thoughts and feelings if he's allowed to#and yet..... he never reveals any of his heart#he can say he has warm feelings towards you but you will never be sure the depth of them#so even though he ranks high in words of affirmation it paradoxically makes you even more insecure about your relationship#like he's not lying. he's not lying when he speaks of his warmth toward someone#but it's the equivalent to a grandfather to his toddler grandchild#or a human toward an ant

I hate Hunters future design with such a passion because heâs literally just fuckin Caleb now
-Exact same eye colour (Iâve hated that since TTT)
-Extremely similar hairstyle + itâs the exact same one Belos forced on him
-Same job/passion (wouldnât care at all about that if it werenât for the fact that 1. Caleb is shown to be carving something in Belosâs memories and 2. Everything else)
-oh Flapjack died? Letâs give him another bird palisman who looks exactly like Flapjack except make it blue.
Like Waffle is honestly the last thing I care about regarding the design but when put next to everything else, no
He is literally just Caleb now.
If they wanted him to look like someone else, they couldâve gone for literally anyone who isnât the guy he had a panic attack for looking too much like him over
Darius couldâve worked (a hair bun, coloured hair, a little more abomination/ purple themed or something)
Eda couldâve worked (long hair, bird themed, etc)
They couldâve had him working in a tailor shop or something related to sewing and having the palisman thing as a side job or something
Itâs just idk. It felt like they threw his character arc about being his own person out the window for whatever was going on there
#hot take:#waffle shouldâve either been a wolf or a bird who didnât look almost identical to Flapjack#Iâm still so mad about this#but nothing will come close to the amount of anger I felt when they gave him magic#I donât care if itâs just the dash thing. itâs still magic#season 3 is literally just a shitshow/ fan service in all honesty#I say fan service because everything that happened aside for a few things were just there for the fans and not for the actual plot#anyway rant over#toh critical#toh salt#the season 3 that we got doesnât exist to me#only the version I made in my head

Hello and good morning I've discovered lately your au and I'm quite invest to be fair it's funny and really intriguing if it's not asking too much can you explain why's there two shadow milk cookie ? One who look stupid and the other who's quite pretty and with silent salt cookie what is he in love with our dear shadow milk cookie and that's why he's glad that elder faerie died or what because calling your friend my angel and be glad his past lover? Died is a bit........ anyways sorry if it's too long and for bad grammar English is not my first language so
I LOVE ANSWERING QUESTIONS, ASK ANYTHING YOU WANT!! I AM SO GLAD THAT MY AU IS OF INTEREST TO YOU (â äşşâ  â â˘Íâ á´â â˘Íâ )
and don't worry, english isn't my main language either haha
Well, going step by step
1 â the two Shadow Milk
In theory... they are the same person, but at the same time they are not...
It's a matter of perspective!! But in theory it's more or less like this
Light Milk, the original Shadow Milk, In his search for knowledge he ended up discovering things he shouldn't, things that kept him awake and made him descend slowly and tortuously into madness... until everything exploded when he visited the witches' banquet (it was not the first time he attended) I begged the witches to make him forget, he didn't want to be the knowledge cookie, the knowledge he had loved so much had destroyed him, and he just wanted... to rest, But the witches did not listen, after all, he had been created to store knowledge, it was his only function as a living being
So Light Milk just... jumped into the cauldron
yeah, a little strong but- oh well
When the witches took the cookie out of the cauldron it was no longer the same as before, they could no longer even tell that it was a cookie, They only saw an amalgam of suffering, sorrow and agony, Shadow Milk is the accumulation of all the pain of Light Milk
So as I said before, in theory they are the same person, they share the same body, but they will never be the same, and Shadow Milk has no memories of his past life
2 â Silent Salt's... love for Shadow Milk? In short, yes!
can be summed up as, SILENT SALT! YOU'RE A DAMN SIMP!!
But let's do this as it should be done
Silent Salt (at that time Service Salt) always had feelings for Light Milk, but they never had anything because Silent Salt forgot the detail of, I don't know... EVEN SAYING SOMETHING
He was content with seeing him, helping him, always being there for him even if it was as a friend, he did not feel brave enough to confess
but all this changed when Light Milk and Elder Faerie started dating, Service Salt knew it was wrong to feel jealous about that, he had no right to be angry since he had wasted his chance! But even though he was still upset with Elder Faerie for "stealing his angel," Silent/Service Salt's feelings began to become more and more obsessive, more twisted
until that incident occurred that gave life to Shadow Milk
He, and everyone knew he wasn't Light Milk, but they treated him as if he was, including Service Salt who selfishly saw a new opportunity to be with his angel, ignoring that there was only one demon left
There happens the transition of changing the name of Service Salt â Silent Salt, and starting the disaster in order to please Shadow Milk and win him (spoiler: EVEN TRYING HE CAN'T ACHIEVE IT HAHA, and I don't know if that ends up being better or worse)
And well, everything ends badly, very badly
#cookie run kingdom#crk#beast tales au#cookie run au#crk au#beast yeast#silent salt crk#silent salt cookie#silent salt#shadow milk#shadow milk cookie#shadow milk crk#light milk#light milk cookie#service salt#service salt cookie

hi! here are some little things that go a long way in showing fast food service workers respect! :D
- please make eye contact when youâre ordering, and donât be looking at your phone
- saying please and thank you may seem small but itâs a significant gesture
- clean up your table after you eat and throw away your trash
- donât toss your money on the counter, hand it to us
- if we make a mistake, please correct us kindly. mistakes happen! nobody likes being yelled at when they are made
- try to tip, even if itâs just a little. at restaurants you tip your waiter for their serve, but with fast food youâre tipping your worker for service, making your food, preparing everything, setup/cleanup, etc.
all in all, weâd like to be treated like any other human. little polite gestures go a long way. and of course, the golden rule: treat others how youâd like to be treated. cause if youâre dicks to us we can fuck with your food :)
#not like#in an unsanitary way tho#no spitting#usually i just put a fuck ton of salt#fast food#food service#food service worker#fast food workers

Daminette December 2022: 25-Demon/Angel
Damian sighed as he walked into the community center. He had been assigned community service for punching someone at school. The school had thought it was best for the youngest Wayne to see the consequences of his actions and what his actions could lead to. They volunteered him to work in a reformitory.
Damian looked around the room of people. It reminded him of Arkham, just less yelling and screaming. One person caught his eye; a girl staring out the window. She sat perfectly still on the windowsill.
'Who is she? Why is she alone?'
Damian quickly grabbed the clipboard out of the attendant's hand.
"Hey!" they cried.
He flipped through the pages quickly and found her: Marinette Dupain-Cheng. He shoved the clipboard back and started walking towards her. They grabbed his arm.
"I wouldn't go near her." they whispered, "We go told very bad things about her. She's very violent."
'These people are idiots.'
Damian walked up to the sill.
"Hello." he spoke.
Marinette didn't speak or turn at the sound of his voice.
"Not one for words?" Damian questioned.
"Words are filled with lies." she stated.
'Progress.'
"I am told you are violent." he continued.
She sighed and continued looking out the window.
"I do not believe them." he concluded.
Marinette turned and looked at him, shocked. Damian noticed tears build up befre she quickly shut down her emotions.
"So what?" Mari questioned.
"I am sentenced for one month to work here for two hours, three times a week." Damian informed her.
"Lucky you." she declared.
"I would rather spend time with you than with idiots." he stated, "I can tell you are not like the others."
As he turned to leave, he said his name was Damian and left.
It took until the very last day for him to get her to open up once more.
"I was never violent." Marinette whispered, still looking out the window, "Not until the end."
"The end?" Damian asked.
"I snapped." she sniffled, "My parents sent me here because the couldn't 'control' me anymore. That's a lie."
"Why don't you tell me when everything went wrong." He spoke.
She shrugged, "Why not? I get out of here in a week. I'll be eighteen by then and I'm suppose to get my stuff from them. I'm never going home. I grew up in Paris, France and my parents were bakers. Everything started with a new transfer student; she was a liar. I could see through her façade, but no one else could. She lied to people like we breathed oxygen."
"I confronted her. She said she was only 'telling people what they wanted to hear'." Mari sighed, "Nice to know people wanted to think so badly of you, huh. Anyways, she faked disabilities, told lies about going places, made up connections to celebrities. I tried to tell my friends, my classmates, but they wouldn't listen. One of them knew she was a liar and said it was better to let her lie; that everyone would find out eventually. Later, she started to spread rumors about me, saying that I was bullying her, sending her threatening texts, calling her at all hours so she couldn't sleep. It was all over a boy she wanted me to stay away from who was my friend. There even came a point where I got expelled because of her."
"And you proved your innocence." he smirked.
"If only." Marinette answered, "I never got a chance to defend myself. There had been a tip to the teacher that the answer sheet for a test was in my bag. My idiot teacher had already graded the tests with it, but I somehow needed it. When I accused her, we were sent to the office, together. She walked down a whole flight of stairs and then started screaming that I pushed her."
"Did they not check the footage?" Damian growled.
"Nope. The principal listened to people with money and powerful parents more. I was just a baker's daughter. Why would the daughter of an Italian diplomat lie?" Mari waved off, "She wasn't sent to the nurse or a hospital. She then accused me of stealing a necklace that was an heirloom. It was really a Gabriel necklace that had come out five months prior, but the 'evidence' was there. So, I was expelled."
"How were you reinstated?" he questioned.
Marinette laughed, "The bitch claimed to have a lying disease that made her fabricate evidence under stress."
Damian gripped his jeans as tight as he could to stop himself from running off.
"Not sure when it started, but eveyone started telling my parents how 'awful' I was to her." Marinette stated, turning back to the window.
"And they believed them?" he asked.
Marinette nodded, "Soon, it wasn't just her bullying me, threatening me. She got the whole class to do it. They started tripping me, destroying my homework, my designs, spilled coffee on me and played it off on my own clumsiness. One day, she said I chased her until she twisted her ankle."
"What happened?" Damian pushed.
"That was the day I snapped." Mari replied, "I don't remember what happened. I was sitting in the back of the class and the next thing I know, I was being pulled off of her. She had a broken , fractured jaw, and was bleeding a lot. I'm told I just kept callign her a liar over and over, but I don't know. Then, I was sent here. I've been here for....two years, I think?"
'I was right. This isn't a violent girl. This girl is an angel and she plummeted.'
"May I hug you?" Damian asked, suddenly.
Marinette turned quickly. He could see her face had turned bright red and she was shocked by his gesture. Damian leaned in and held her close.
"I do not believe you are bad." he whispered, "I think you are a better person than most."
Marinette shakily brought her hands around him and began to sob.
"What was that girl's name?" Damian probed.
Mari sniffled and pulled away. She wiped her tears, like nothing had ever happened, and turned bac to look out the window.
"Layla Rossi. She went by Lila." she answered, "I don't know if it's still with my things, but I kept a journal about everything. You can read it if you want. I decided to keep it as a reminder to never let it happen again; that I never needed friends, again."
Damian stood up and placed a hand on her head. He smirked as he walked away and explained he had permission to look though her belongings. He found the journal and smiled. Marinette had no idea she had just made a deal with a demon.
Damian sat in front of the batcomputer. It had been easy to find article in Paris about the incident. Marinette's name hadn't been mentioned, but Lila's was everywhere. It had made headlines that Gabriel Agreste's muse had been beaten up and bullied by another girl and had to take time off from modeling. Lila had painted herself as the ultimate victim saying she was being bullied for trying to protect Adrien Agreste from the girl. Other people backed up her statement by saying she had been obsessed with the male model.
Damian looked at Adrien Agreste's picture on file and glared.
'Blonde hair. Green eyes. Clone of his mother. Recently started school at age thirteen. What a joke. He's not even that good looking.'
It wasn't even a challenge to find where everything took place. Neither of their social medias were private. There were pictures of the school on both accounts and they had the same circle of friends. Damian hacked into the school and began to go through the dates in Marinette's journal. It was all there: the bullying, the tripping, being shoved and threatened. She had been right; no one had even looked. He quickly started downloading all the evidence.
"What are you doing, Damian?" Bruce spoke, suddenly.
Damian handed over Marinette's journal. Bruce looked from the pink book to the screens. It was easy to see he wasn't pleased.
"This girl is in the program I was sent to." Damian declared, "I want her here. I want her to work for us. We would have to help her get her GED, but it shouldn't be too difficult."
"You want her in the manor?" Bruce inquired.
"And at Wayne Enterprise." his son answered, flipping to the back of the book, "She's a designer. Her name was mentioned by several celebrities and had backing before all of this. I assume the person let their emotions get the better of them and was jealous. Everything about the bully revolved around her and making her appear better then Marinette. She claimed to know celebrities that the designer knows. The designer was friends prior with the Agreste child and had won a contest. What better way then to take the designer the Agreste turned away than to take her for ourselves?"
"We can have her make suits to the next gala and see how the do as a trial." Bruce declared.
"She gets out next week." Damian replied, "We can get her, then.
"Why wait?" his father asked.
"She'll be eighteen by then." Damian smirked, "Her parents won't be able to do a thing."
Bruce smiled at his son's remark.
Damian arrived with Bruce, next to him. Marinete looked at them confused.
"We are taking you home with us." Damian declared.
Marinette looked between the both of them in shock, "What?"
"We have already made a room for you in our home." Bruce spoke.
"Why?" Mari asked.
"We are going to help you graduate so you can work on your own." Damian answered, "You wanted to be an individual who did not need to rely on anyone, if I remember correctly. Get your things."
Marinette stared in shock at the size of Wayne Manor. Damian helped her place everything in her new room, while Bruce gathered up the rest of the boys for dinner. Mari set her clothes on the bed and turned to Damian.
"Why?" she questioned, "I still don't understand."
"Someone clipped your wings, Angel." Damian answered, "No one should have made you fall to my level."
"What level is that?" Marinette asked.
"Hell." He smirked.
"You, Demon Spawn!" Jason interrupted, "Quit flirting. Alfred says dinner is in five minutes. "
Marinette blushed at the implications. Sure, Damian had brought her into his home, but she doubt that was the reason why. At dinner, Mari found out that Damian was Bruce's only son; everyone else had been adopted. They all had hard lives growing up and Bruce had taken them in without a second thought. The older boys had teased Damian for following in his Father's footsteps in taking in blue eyed people in need. All of them made her feel welcome. They told her they would take her around the city to elp her get use to the area. Alfred was happy to have another person to cook with. That itself had earned some of the boys to look away and find the idea of paint appealing.
"Am I adopted now?" Marinette questioned.
"No." Dick answered, "You're eighteen so you just live here."
Marinette smiled, "Thank you."
Damian walked Marinette back to her room.
"Don't worry, you will get use to the manor, eventually." Damian stated, "We just don't want you getting lost. I have a surprise for you tomorrow morning."
Marinette looked at him confused, but nodded. She wasn't sure what else Damian could give her. He had given her a roof over her head, a place to eat, and a way to get her life back together. She laid down on the softest bad she had felt and passed out.
Damian glared at the screen as he sent the emails and videos to the correct people in mind. He sent everything to the school board anonymously and also to the news outlet in Paris.
"You good?" Jason questioned, "You sort of have an Al Ghul face going on."
"Just.....getting some revenge." he answered.
"You know Bruce-" Tim began.
"Approved." Damian declared.
The three boys looked at each other and then back at their youngest sibling.
"How?" Dick asked.
Damian sighed and brought up the footage of Marinette being beaten and then someone claiming she had started the fight. They weren't happy with what they were seeing. Marinette was docile and now they could see why. It was going to be challenge to get her to speak up.
"How can we help?" Jason demanded.
Lila woke up to the sound of her phone vibrating uncontrollably on her night stand. She rubbed her eyes and yawned. She picked up her phone to see what was going on.
'Did Gabriel come out with the new catalog?'
Lila clicked on social media and was shocked to see that she was being called a liar.
'What is going on?'
She clicked on a link and saw footage of her shoving Marinette down on the floor and then kicking her, while she laughed. At the sound of footsteps, she saw herself rip her own shirt and slap her face. When the adult came into view, Lila ran and hugged her, thanking her for coming to her rescue. She lied and wailed how Marinette started to beat her and she had to defend herself against the bully. She was so scared.
'No! Who posted this? This is going to ruin my reputation.'
There was many videos going around of teacher's ignoring Marinette asking for help. They were telling her to be the bigger person. They were telling her to open her heart and be more forgiving. They told her how it was better to ignore the hurtful words the others were saying about her. There were also videos of Lila walking down the stairs and claiming Marinette pushed her. There was her framing Marinette for stealing test answers and placing them in her backpack. There was evidence of her buying the Gabriel necklace and putting it in Marinette's locker, crying how she stole her family heirloom. Almost every lie she had ever told was being exposed by the news station: traveling out of Paris, her connections with celebrities, and her disabilities. The celebrities themselves were callign the news station and outraged how they didn't know such a horrible girl. Jagged Stone, himself, claimed how Marinette Dupain-Cheng was his personal designer.
"Marinette is one of the sweetest people I know." Jagged Stone declared, "She has always been ready to help me. Whether it's for a CD cover or a rockin' outfit for my shows! Hey, whoever sent this out. Reach out to me so I can talk to my designer and hire her again."
The news caster then informed Jagged Stone and Paris that Marinette Dupain-Cheng was sent to a reformitory out of Europe. As we saw, many people took to bullying her and those bullies turned her own parents against her. They thought they were doing the right thing. Why you ask? We might remember her better as the girl who beat up Gabriel Agreste's muse. They brought up their past headlines of Lila Rossi with a broken nose and being taken into an ambulance. His so-called muse told reporters that she feared for her life, in that moment. The model declared how she was only protecting her classmate and co-worker, Adrien Agreste, from a stalker. Many people agreed with her statement, but we can now see those people were assisting her in bullying this young girl. They lied to hide the fact on who was the true victim.
Her social media was flooded with comments:
"What a fake story."
"I wonder how popular she got from playing the victim."
"I hope she enjoys her new fame."
"LOL"
"Liar"
"Bully"
"Faker"
The news caster smiled, "The only thing the anonymous tipster stated was that they were doing this for Marinette Dupain-Cheng. They learned about everything and it wasn't hard to find. Marinette had a whole book full of detailed notes, every time she got bullied and by whom. They claimed it wasn't hard to find the evidence, only that no one ever looked. People are dumb. No one looked up the obvious lies and the pricipal obviously lined his pockets with richer families in mind. Also, Happy belated birthday, Marinette!"
The backlash from the reveal was gigantic. The school board was pissed about what had happened under supervision and had been brushed off. The principals and teachers were terminated immediately. Their licenses were suspended indefinitely; they would never work with children again.
Layla Rossi was quickly fired from Gabriel. All of her social medias were blocked and so was her phone number. Her mother had been completely blindsided by the news. She had stomped into her room and taken away her phone, until the truth was revealed. It was decided by the school board to expell Lila two months before graduation. When the verdict was given to her mother, she decided it was best to also take her to a reformitory until her daughter turned eighteen, the following year.
Everyone that had initially been apart of Bustier's class was crying. They had been shocked and horrified to learn they had chosen the wrong side. Marinette had told them Lila was lying to them; she had only tried to get them to see the truth. Adrien was hugging a pillow as he watched the news from his couch. He watched over and over as Mari was bullied by their friends and Lila. She was pushed and kicked while she was down. She sat there and did nothing, just like he told her to.
'She never told me this was going on!'
'Why would she ever come to you? This is all your fault! You helped turn everyone against her.'
Adrien broke and sobbed into the pillow.
The big question on everyone's mind was : Where is Marinette now? Her parents had reached out to the reformitory, to get her back, but she was no longer there. Once she was eighteen, she was gone.
It was years until people in Paris learned what happened to Marinette. Her name was trending again, everywhere. Marinette Dupain-Cheng had married Damian Wayne. They could all see she was happy. Several people had reached out to talk with her, but they all failed. No one knew how to contact her other than to call Wayne Enterprise. When they reached the receptionist, they always asked who was calling. . When they gave their own name, they were told their name had been blacklisted by the family and not to pass the call to Marinette. They tried using fake names after some time, but Marinette didn't know who they were so their calls were rejected.
"We know her!" they complained.
"And if she cared, she would call you!" the receptionist retorted and hung up.
