#sugar addition

[leastrife]

Don’t think I’ll ever get over the fact that Kaz Brekker nearly shifted the economy of Ketterdam

Like if the crows managed to ruin all of Van Eck’s silos and taken out a large huge amount of the sugar supply. That’s not something that will go down anytime soon it would take years for sugar to go back to the price it was to match up with supply and demand.

This 17 year old kid who likes dogs and can never figure out how to talk to his crush. Kaz “I protect my investments” Brekker almost caused a complete disruption in the stock market and with how strongly Ketterdam is built on their economic system-

Please I need someone else who think economy is a really cool topic to understand just how much that’s insane. A 17 YEAR OLD NEARLY CAUSED A SHORTAGE OF A HIGH DEMNAD COMMODITY ITEM.

Kaz would go insane in America

ive been getting more sugar daddy scammers lately trying to court me which i THINK is a good sign because that means i might be getting closer to getting an offer from a LEGIT sugar daddy, who i would use to purchase more pre-9/11 technology.

@prudensvulpes requested Sora with Dylan Hollis' energy where he has his own cooking channel! Thank you so much for your patience! And this was alot of fun to do! I used Dylan Hollis' "Fake Apple Pie" tiktok (shortened to certain moments and some moved around for comedic effect!). I hope you like it and thank you again :)!

And here's a bonus sketch because I couldn't resist drawing Sora's face lighting up the same way Dylan Hollis' does when a recipe is actually good!:

Vampire Ramble - A Late Night Bite >8)

The wind was howling, a steady hum of noise that made you wonder when rain was going to come. Couldn't sleep, wide awake, a mix of alertness and a drowsy unease. Then the rain began, softly drumming against the house as the wind continued to whirr and whistle. You close your eyes, beyond those two distinct sounds, almost left unheard was a distinct tapping against the window.

You roused reluctantly from bed, walking towards it, what looked like murky darkness outside began to change as your eyes slowly carved out features. A figure was outside, so close to the glass pane that it made you jump. A hand tapping impatiently against the glass.

"Oh!" You threw up the sash, as a bedraggled form slid inside.

"I didn't realize you would come tonight, would you er. . . like a towel?"

There was an indignant sniff from the shadowy figure, "That would be appreciated, yes."

You nod, and trot from your room, a soft orange glow illuminating the bathroom just enough that you can grab a fresh towel and head back. The figure murmured a word of thanks before throwing the towel over their head, fussing with their hair.

You sat upon the bed, hands resting on your knees.

The figure shifted, and you watched the towel being pulled down and folded.

"Just like before?" The figure inquired, a tone of softness in their voice that made you prickle.

"N-no. Laying down made me nervous. I'll sit this time, thank you."

"Sitting is a bit messier, are you alright with that?"

"Mhm, I don't mind."

The bed creaked, cold fingers pull your hair back from your throat. You take a deep breath, and wait. There was the initial feeling of them leaning in close, that sensation fueled the anxious instinct to jerk away from them. You stayed still and unmoving, fingers itching, scratching at the soft pad of your thumb as you waited. Your eyes twitched closed as your throat felt pressure and then a burn of pain. Your hands clenched, fingertips digging into your palm. You fought back the feeling of wanting to swallow, time began to blur, one sluggish second after another ticked by until you felt a chaste kiss against your throat and you suddenly could breathe again, making an involuntary gasp that had you wincing.

The damp towel was pressed against your neck, and your hands moved to hold onto it. Sitting there in the dark, fingertips barely touching with the person who sat next to you.

"Was it easier this time?" The shadowy face was unreadable, but the voice was tender, compassionate.

"Yeah," Your voice was slightly husky,

"Good," There was a pause, "Go to sleep dear, and thank you again for the treat tonight. Our next appointment can be October 13th, will that work for you. . .?"

"Write it down for me?" The sluggishness was taking over your brain, making you feel dizzy. "I don't think I'll be able to. . . remem. . . ber."

"Of course," They reply consolingly. A hand at the small of your back dipping you backwards into bed.

"Thank you," You whispered as sleep wrapped its arms around you.

"Oh no, thank you."

—

Morning came sooner than expected, your neck was sore and you groaned, rubbing the back of your neck as you forced your eyes open.

Your hands reached to your phone to check the time before they patted around blindly on the bedside table. Expression brightening when your fingers grasped a crisp blue envelope. You brought it towards you, lifting the flap to take a peek at the content inside. Delight danced in your eyes, clutching the envelope to your chest and kicking your feet. Rent was made, more than just made, you had extra to spare. You felt your eyes prickle with tears of relief as you stared up at the ceiling.

It was considerably the strangest side job you had ever taken, but the benefits made it more than enough worthwhile.

"I have my own sugar Vladdy" You mumbled to yourself in disbelief, before laughing at the absurdity of it. Then wincing apologetically as laughing made your neck hurt.

"Ouch.

Every time I see a banana bread recipe that does not involve crisco, I acknowledge the superiority of my own banana bread

[sneeb-canons]

Mind and Heart both know how to cook and bake. Mind prefers baking because of the rigid instructions, and Heart prefers cooking because he can experiment with the recipes.

Soul should not be allowed anywhere near a kitchen. Heart asked if Soul wanted to cook once and he brought out a Mountain Dew cookbook. He’s never asked again.

˚➶ ｡˚ cupid's comeback sugar rush raises eyebrows. tw for slutshaming.

on march 6th, 2024, cupid released her fourth comeback and first full album, sugar rush. the title track of the same name quickly garnered attention for many reasons— fans loved the song, with some claiming it was her best yet. while cupid has always been known for her rather mature concept and leaning into her sexuality, ranging from her debut with 28 reasons and her comeback with eclipse, people have claimed that this song and it's overtly sexual innuendos and music video were far too much.

NETIZENS REACT TO SUGAR RUSH

people were also upset that the album was advertised as self written, given all the sexual innuendos. her fans were quick to come to her defense, claiming that cupid had always been known for writing most of her music, but that wasn't enough to stop the regular round of insults from flying around. one fan wrote online, "it's not a comeback without cupid's second fandom calling her a slut", referring to high seas fandom, sailors, who have been notoriously known for fighting with cupid fans and other fandoms.

it's a sad but generally accepted reality that this is how most of cupid's comebacks go. she drops the album and is quickly called every insult in the book by netizens. however, for the first time, cupid's title song sugar rush was banned by kbs due to "overly sexual lyrics, profanity, and vulgar expressions". fans came to her defense, but there was nothing much that could be done. soon after, cupid uploaded on her instagram story her reactions.

CUPID'S INSTAGRAM STORIES

some criticized her for making a joke of the situation and thus making it worse, and others applauded her for not being afraid to clap back. no matter your opinion on the situation, due to the banning of sugar rush, cupid will be promoting her b-side, underwater, on music shows instead. what are your thoughts?

Now I'm curious how they'd end up in a polycule in the first place lol

my face when i get to talk about lore

i wrote a whole lot so im gonna put it under a readmore but TLDR:

hollyberry & powdered sugar have known each other since they were littleeee-- before she finds her soul jam & everything! so they were already pretty close. in my head powdered sugar is at the very least acquainted w/ the others. hollyberry & powdered sugar were adventurers together until the berry families get united & the hollyberry kingdom is founded.

hollyberry & powdered sugar both fight pitaya! pitaya isn't one to back down and rest, but powdered sugar is insistent on bandaging the dragon up. hes just not one to leave someone injured. this quickly becomes a cycle where they fight and powdered sugar patches it up before it thinks about flying off. pitaya starts not minding (bc then it can get back to fighting faster)

this is at the very least the beginnings of their relationships w/ eachother.

as a brief summary: powdered sugar is able to get pseudo-immortality but has to stay in an inn of his founding in order to keep it up. the inn is created post-dark flour war and powdered sugar presumes hollyberry to be either dead or missing

so when a certain unnamed huntress comes across an inn and sees her childhood friend of so many years ago-- safe to say they're both surprised to see each other! hollyberry doesn't really ask, but she will still try to visit.

...but by legend of the red dragon she's starting to think that some answers on how powdered sugar is still alive after YEARS are needed. especially if it's some kind of sinister magic. this story powdered sugar gets to tag along with ^___^ by force. but it also lets the trio do some necessary rekindling that eventually pushes them into considering romanticisms

im actually like writing the legend of the red dragon retelling w/ powdered sugar's inclusion as a fic but idk if ill ever post it

post legend of the red dragon i think pitayasugar happens first. they kind of always had moments but never really talked about it. hollyberry & powdered sugar sort of resolve themselves into thinking that they'll just be friends for eternity. until eventually somebody pushes them into getting together. (like no you two making out w/ eachother when youre drunk is NOT typically a normal friend thing!)

but yeah i think theyre all cute together and um ilike them a lot smiles i think theyre very complicated but also so uncomplicated bc thats just how it is when youre friends/lovers as immortal beings

Wait, you had no idea about the champion battle? I thought you did know and didn't use that against Giratina for some reason

"That's perfect to further sway him from the worm, why would I have not used it until now? A secret weapon? Honestly...."

"You..!"

"Put yourself in my shoes and tell me you'd do differently!"
