The Rise of Team E-Scope Headcanons: Part Eight

Idea Post Part One Last Part

I am skipping the aftermath episodes, but I might do them as a bonus after I finish the finale headcanons.

Slap Slap Revolution:

• Since Team Chris won the last challenge, they are not there in economy class to hear DJ lament about his animal curse, but Team Amazon is. This is where Eva gets worried for DJ and his mental health because the poor boy is distraught. Leshawna did nothing but tell him it was in his head, and it had Eva scowling. She believed it, too, but being friends with Noah, someone whose anxiety could get really bad, she knew it wasn't really helpful to point out the thoughts or beliefs were in their head.

Then she rolled her eyes when he tried to tell her it's wasn't that easy. It had Eva grinding her teeth. It was so disrespectful! Noah's sister, Nadia, was pretty superstitious, but no one in the family made fun of her for it and tried to respect her needs. Eva learned not to be so blunt with her thoughts because of Nadia, and she honestly really loved the woman and her kids.

• Apparently, Bridgette didn't appreciate Leshawna's response either as the girl huffed. "It's not that easy, Leshawna." Now, Eva wasn't very fond of Bridgette, but she appreciated the girl speaking up.

That got Leshawna even more annoyed, and it ended with Bridgette offering to give DJ a tarot reading to maybe help ease his mind, which he appreciated.

• Lindsay would have said something, but her, Katie, and Sadie were making the economy class people some smoothies. Katie even mentioned she would add some protein for Eva.

So it fell to Eva to be on Cody duty, not that she minded. So she had Cody sitting with her and listened to him ramble about some game he and Noah were obsessed with.

Thankfully, Sierra was distracted by Heather, but Eva still had a bad feeling about all that.

• Sierra was still talking about how she became president of her 15th Toal Drama fan club. She also still showed her statistics, which is something she's actually really good at. But instead of the statistics of Team Chris, she pulled out statistics for every team.

• Cody was just happy because Sierra couldn't get close to him, and Team Chris shared the insane amount of candy they got from the last challenge.

• Trent and Justin were the ones who were relaxing on the seat and having some bon bons. Justin didn't indulge in sweets much because of his strict diet, but first class had sugar-free ones and took advantage of the opportunity. Plus, Trent and Owen kept telling him his model diet wasn't the best for him, and technically, he wasn't under contract at the moment so he could indulge here and there.

Noah may not like the guy, but he some of his sisters and cousins had some problems with food for a while, so he knew how hard it could be to allow yourself the simple pleasure of something you crave.

So he made Justin a meal schedule to help him out with it. He would have cheat days or days where he tried something equally healthy but not on his meal plan his agent had him on so he could have some variety.

He got an almost kiss on his cheeks for his efforts, and Justin got a book to his stomach for his.

• Izzy was taking a nap, which was rare, which was why Owen was at the bar having a charcuterie board to himself. He made Noah a plate and pointedly looked at his little buddy until he started picking at it.

• Noah and Alejandro were on a couch sharing the mini charcuterie board Owen made for Noah as they discussed books they both have read and enjoyed. This is all part of Alejandro's plans to get closer to Noah and be his friend. To sus out Team E-Scope, of course! No other reason! He definitely didn't find Noah's company fun and comforting at all!

• Then being dropped from the plane was a stunt but also real as they were actually dropped a short distance into the snow. They were supposed to have their jackets on before they were dropped, but the interns forgot, and Chris is pissed about it. Apparently, it wasn't as accidental or forgetful as they claimed as Chef found out from one of the interns who had been close with Noah that the producers contacted an inside source and had them "forget" the jackets as people liked seeing people in distress.

• Alejandro still caught Leshawna.

• Noah would like to nominate Lindsay for an award with her acting because holy shit! "You must have me confused with someone else. The only guy I was ever into on this show was Tyler. And he's never coming back!"

• Also, he would like to simply cease to exist! Falling into the snow that deep was so awful. Snow got under his shirts and in his pants, thankfully not too far into his shoes, but it was still unpleasant. He was already shivering by the time Eva pulled him out and squished him between Izzy, Owen, and herself.

• But Izzy is an agent of chaos, and after cuddling a little tossed Noah to Alejandro, who was more than happy to help out his very cold friend! His very cold friend who had to stop squirming so he can help him warm up!

• Everyone hated the whisper singing.

• The reason why Lindsay finally "remembered" Tyler is because Chris told her she could before they resumed filming for the song. Yeah, he cut the cameras again so the cast could put on their coats and pulled her aside to say she could remember Tyler again, but to make it seem genuine yet funny. She delivered.

• Chris did this in revenge to the producers and made sure no interns were present when he told her. He was prepared to take out one of the producers' favorite bits. He still fully intended to pay Lindsay the agreed upon money and some bonus for her performance.

• The avalanche was another stunt/real. They were swept away by a snow wave, but it was planned. Noah still did not appreciate it, but it's okay because Alejandro held onto him the entire time, so there was no need to dig him out of the snow.

• While up the mountain, though, Noah broke off to go talk with Izzy, who was coincidentally walking by Leshawna and DJ. They made it look like they were whispering, but of course, Izzy didn't have an inside voice (sarcasm), and she loudly laughed.

"Oh definitely NoNo! It's so obvious! Maybe that's why Heather has been so rude to everyone. She's jealous!"

"Keep it down, Iz! But yeah, that's what I was thinking. Her crush on Alejandro is so obvious they could see it on the Nasa satellites."

"You're soooooo right. I feel bad for Leshawna now."

"Why's that nutso?"

"Well, Alejandro has been paying a lot of attention to her, and Heather likes him, and she's a little cray cray about things she wants. I mean, she has no problem manipulating people like the whole Trent thing, which made Leshawna talk everyone into voting him off. She also has no problem playing tricks and cheating, which we've seen before."

"Thaaaat...is a very well thought out and put point. Well, now I'm a little worried." Noah mumbled before Owen yelled something about food, and suddenly Izzy picked Noah up and carried him up the mountain, knowing fully well they just played Leshawna.

• It's not that they dislike Leshawna. They totally respect her, but at the same time, they need to keep low and go with the flow, and the flow was going against her. They knew that, what with Alejandro always flirting with her and inflating her ego a bit. They feel bad, but this is another elimination that doesn't seem like they had a hand in it at all, and they don't confess to it. Kind of like Harold's.

• When they reached the top and Noah saw the raw meat, he immediately yelled, "Code O!" Which had Eva and Izzy snapping into motion. Everyone was confused until they saw the two full-on tackle Owen to stop him from reaching the piles of raw meat.

This went on Alejandro's, Noah Isn't What He Seems List and his Team E-Scope Is Very Capable List.

• When Chris mentioned the meat grinder, Trent triumphantly held it up as Noah asked him to carry it to the cargo hold as the smaller boy had a feeling they were being called for a challenge. Trent was happy he listened to him.

• Alejandro had Justin on Owen duty to make sure the big guy did not eat their building material. He had Tyler on Izzy duty to make sure she didn't try to jump in the big grinder while Noah, Alejandro, and Trent worked with the electric grinder.

• Eva manned the grinding wheel while Heather was made to fill the grinder from the top, and Courtney tossed her the meat. Eva tossed Cody on top to help Heather because she did not trust Sierra. Gwen and Katie were stuffing the sausage casing while Sierra was building a disturbingly life-size Cody statue out of some of their meat.

• Leshawna took charge as she tended to do and ordered DJ to shovel the meat up, which he was fine doing. Sadie tried to tell Leshawna that she would stuff the casing as she had experience doing that since her uncle is a butcher and she used to be fascinated with his work and he taught her some of it until she lost interest when she was older. But the two still have a tradition of making sausages together for any family events. But Leshawna didn't listen and made Sadie get up on the platform to help shove the meat in the grinder. Bridgette got annoyed that Leshawna wouldn't listen, but they didn't have much time and Lindsay and Bridgette had to do the casing.

• No DJ accidentally throwing a bird into the grinder. DJ got too scared to touch the meat with the bird on top. Leshawna just kept yelling at him to hurry up, but Bridgette snapped back at Leshawna. Sadie had enough and jumped off the platform, and Lindsay snapped, too. Lindsay took charge instead and yelled out her orders but not in an angry way, just an authoritative one. She made DJ man the wheel, Sadie stuff, Leshawna shovel, and Bridgette to make sure the bird got away and not hurt.

• Chris did bring in those deadly goats. The man loves his dangerous animals.

• Team Chris was going down the mountain before everyone because of the electric grinder, so they missed the goat. Team Victory was second, and DJ did still hurt the goat. Team Amazon was last still because of Sierra and meat Cody.

• Eva was pissed and ready to throw Sierra off the mountain, but when Heather told them to jump, she realized what she was doing and said, "Do it." When Cody and Katie looked at her for guidance.

• Alejandro made Owen sit at the front of the sausage to weigh the front down more so they moved faster, and he had Noah sit in front of him. He doesn't know why, but in his head, he justified it with telling himself it was to keep Noah warm and ready for the next challenge. Owen fell off the sausage but held on to the front, which dragged Team Chris faster.

• They, of course, passed first with Alejandro only managing to hit Owen on a ledge once as he wanted to make it seem completely like an accident. When Trent started calling out directions because he thought Alejandro couldn't see where he was steering them, Alejandro had to pretend that to be true and listened to Trent.

• No dumb hat rewards because they honestly made no sense to me. The reward instead was extra training time to learn the Schuhplattler ( known as the slap dance, Schuh means shoe and plattler means slap!). The penalty was still the lederhosen for one person to wear and uncomfortable, not broken in, leather shoes for the rest of the team to wear. Team Victory just had to wear traditional dance shoes. Team Chris got the traditional Tyrolean hats that resembled Cody's penalty outfit.

• Cody was always going to wear the penalty outfit, so no having to try and get Sierra to wear it.

• Eva and Gwen sat out along with Tyler and Noah. Eva was glad Noah sat out because the guy is actually good at dancing and won against Eva and Izzy every time. They are trying to lay low, so it was a good move. Sadie was made to sit out.

• Sierra did sing her song, which disturbed not just Cody but everyone, and Trent did his best to shield the boy as they danced against each other.

• When Heather laughed at Leshawna's dancing and Alejandro started talking to her, Bridgette yelled out for Leshawna to focus. Leshawna ignored her, and Bridgette was so frustrated. That's when Heather noticed her frustration and mocked her for being jealous and started going in on Bridgette being jealous despite having a boyfriend and how it was the end of "stupid Gidgette!"

• Meanwhile, Alejandro continued on his manipulation with Leshawna. To which Justin was the one to point out the pep talk comment. He also threw in how Noah would not appreciate it given, "How smart and capable my little songbird is~."

To which Alejandro fake smiled and explained he was playing an angle but also, "He's not your anything!"

• While Bridgette stewed in her anger, Heather did try to warn Leshawna before the dance challenge started.

It was Leshawna against Owen.

Heather against Trent.

Izzy against Courtney

Bridgette against Justin

Sierra against DJ

Lindsay against Katie

Cody against Alejandro

• Heather, Leshawna, Izzy, Bridgette, Sierra, and Alejandro won the first round. Lindsay and Katie hit each other off the platform at the same time, so neither won. Then, the teams became:

Heather v Leshawna

Izzy v Bridgette

Sierra v Alejandro

• Again, Heather and Leshawna came to a tie, and the trash talking had been building the entire time. Bridgette won against Izzy, well more like Izzy got bored and pretended to fail, but only Eva and Noah saw that. Plus, Izzy didn't want to come across as too capable or like she was serious, so she pretended the light shock got to her, and she slipped off the edge. She had actually calculated when Chris would send the small shocks and made sure she was close to the edge when he next did it, which resulted in her fall. With Izzy falling and Justin's comment about Noah getting to him, Alejandro was doing his best to win but got distracted by hearing Noah's voice.

• Noah was throwing snow at Justin because the model was flirting with him again, and Noah was getting irritated. This situation distracted Alejandro enough for Sierra to knock him off. But to his team, it looked like Sierra got him out because her super strength kicked in when she saw Cody trying to help out Noah. That was a factor, but Alejandro could have dodged if he hadn't been distracted.

• Now is was:

Leshawna v Heather round 3

And

Sierra v Bridgette

• Alejandro still cheered for Leshawna once round 3 began. Which made Bridgette now suspicious because she had been noticing a lot lately and how he no longer complimented her and everything. Not that she wanted him to, but it was weird how he just shut off their communication the way he did.

• So when Heather shouted about Leshawna not being on Alejandro's team and slapped Leshawna. Bridgette yelled her agreement which made Heather mock her for being jealous.

Leshawna hit Heather off, and Bridgette jumped off the platform at the same time as Leshawna because Heather had finally pissed her to the point of snapping. Leshawna did slap Heather, but it wasn't over and over. She did it once and once was enough to snap her out of it because, man, this wasn't her. Bridgette slapped Heather once and yelled at her over all the comments about her and Geoff. She basically went off on how Heather was a sad, lonely, desperate person.

• Sierra won by default.

• No missing tooth, Heather, but she did get slapped on the same side of her face, so it was really red and going to bruise. Plus, she bit the inside of her cheek, so it was going to swell and be swollen for a short time. The bite wasn't super bad, more a nip, but she did still bleed.

• Chris then announced it was a double elimination for Team Victory. It wasn't that hard a decision for them given the growing tension between Leshawna and Bridgette. Plus, the team had gotten tired of Leshawna taking the role of leader and not listening to any of their ideas, suggestions, or input. Lindsay knew how that was, which was why she was confused about why Leshawna acted that way. You would think the girl would remember what happened to Lindsay season two, given the whole cast had a rewatch party a little while after the finale.

• Eliminated: Leshawna and Bridgette.

I think when we get closer to the merge, I won't reveal who gets eliminated as I might want to save that for the actual fic. But if you guys are okay with knowing, I don't mind sharing at all! I just thought maybe you wouldn't want me to spoil that.

[slocumjoe]

could i get your take on what the companions (or just my favorite boy X6's) top 10 fave candies/foods would be in a modern AU?

anon you are in luck, because I am constantly thinking about the diets and eating habits of my blorbos

The numbered list isn't in any particular order, it's just so I don't have to manually count each point

so

What the companions would eat if not in a post apocalypse

Cait; Wouldn't have a taste for fancier cuisine. Eats more...hick-ish. I can say that because I was a hick with this kind of diet, growing up. Has a taste for filling, cheap, low-effort food...think lots of fast food, but "healthier" fast food. Like Chipotle, Panera, etc. Can cook, doesn't often, but will if she has a craving. Savory or tart tastes. She tends to eat lighter than you'd expect.

Blueberry brownie anything, favors dark chocolate in general

Submarine sandwiches, anything with pickles

Key lime pie

Salt and vinegar chips and thinks critics of such chips are cowards

Peach Redbull, any energy drinks though

Storebought hummus and Doritos, has been seen eating hummus with just a spoon though

Blueberry bread pudding. Simple to make, fun to eat, very comforting. Buys her bread already stale from a local bakery, has a guy to hook her up with the old shit

Seafood chowder

Sausages in any capacity. Jerky sticks, breakfast sausage, etc. Loves chorizo.

Honey buns from the gas station

Curie; Health nut, she eats like every influencer claims they eat like. Only, Curie actually eats like that. Lots of fresh foods and whole grains, little red meat. However, Curie makes a point to have foods that other health nuts would condemn, thinks its really important to not label any food as "bad." So, she balances between health nut and normal person. Her taste leans toward bright and/or sweet. Dislikes red meat.

Salmon breakfast wraps

Tropical fruit smoothies, eats so much pineapple

Iced tea, favors raspberry. Never seen without an iced tea of some kind

Halibut tacos, likes red cabbage and a fuck ton of lemon on it. Soft shells all the way

Bananas foster

Whipped brie dip, eats it with anything but loves it on apples, basically dessert

Lemon pepper grilled chicken and rice

So many salads, loves that you can just throw shit in a bowl and call it a recipe. Likes strawberries and almonds

Lemon poppyseed muffins

Shrimp and bitter melon stir fry

Danse; mixed bag. One on hand, small town diner tastes. Simple, cheap, good ol' American food. On the other, he's doomed to be a soldier in every universe he's in, so...maybe he picks up some tastes and dishes from places he's toured. Gets a weird pallate that shoots in all directions and makes you wonder what it's like in that thick skull. One day he's a good American boy with pancakes and steak, the next he's eating cake mix dry and drinking tahini from a flask.

Anything BBQ, but a pulled pork devotee

Hot coffee so heavily creamed and sugars it looks like milk. He likes the twix combo of chocolate, shortbread, and caramel flavors

Prepackaged baked goods a la Hostess, fucks up little Debbie oatmeal cookies

Apple and pecan pie

Menemen—Turkish dish, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, bell peppers, spices to taste, and (controversially) onions. Adds sausage and cheese, eats it with a fork or spoon (its meant to be eaten with bread)

Khachapuri—Georgian cheesy bread with egg. Eats with a knife and fork. (its meant to be eaten with the bread crust)

Smores pop tarts

Beef and potato stew

Rice bowl with fried egg and avocado, bonus points if it has bacon

Straight cookie dough/brownie/cake batter, usually when he's black out drunk and cannot shame himself out of eating raw egg products.

Deacon; Very childhood comfort food. Y'know, things you had as a kid, but probably grew out of a bit? Eats out of gas stations/takeout frequently. Very open flavor pallete, has tried everything he's had the chance to. Likes one-handed food, stuff you can have the other hand free for. Doesn’t really have a 'theme', has broad horizons for his diet. Likes lighter, mild flavors, though. He eats lightly and on the go a lot.

Hot/corn dogs, taste in hot dog toppings varies

Egg salad sandwiches

French fries and vanilla ice cream, classic combo

Mango sticky rice

Cornbread with any accompaniments. Likes honey or chili, thinks if you have a drink with cornbread, you ain't a real cornhead

Penne alla vodka

Cucumber salad. This could mean a salad with cucumbers, that trending Asian recipe where you cut the cumber so its springy, or eating a cucumber like a hotdog.

Fried mushrooms

Usually just drinks water but will have gator/powerade when he's working. Likes purple flavor

Captain crunch cereal, loves all cereal though. Prefers the kibble stuff to the berries. Starts philosophical debates about the morality of Trix commercials vs Lucky Charms commercials

Gage; His favorite foods reflect his upbringing. Coastal swamp cuisine, cheap and made in bulk. Take Danse's pallate and hyperlocalize it, and then lower the budget by a good amount. Things he grew up eating. Would gradually replace his favorites with pricier, 'less embarrassing' dishes, distances himself from his origins. However, takes care to not looked too loaded. Smokey and savory flavors are his thing, likes more spice than people expect.

Doberge cake, which is layered with pudding, often half-chocolate and half-lemon

Red beans and rice, with stewed pork if they could afford it

Blackened fish of any kind, liked it with cilantro-lime rice

Steak with potatoes and/or eggs

Chronic iced tea drinker like Curie, though he prefers the bitter kinds

Scallops

Brussels sprouts defender and will fight for their honor

Peaches

Was introduced to curry during a business meeting/outing. Could drink that shit from a glass, has it with potatoes and porkchops.

Lobster anything. This is one of those 'less embarresing' things, but he genuinely enjoys a good lobster roll. Even if he prefers a freshly-caught lobster bisque. Again, something he had growing up, something he pushes away.

Hancock; Similar to Deacon, but favors fatty, greasy food. No, it's not the drugs, that's just his metabolism. He's a skinny twink, always starving, can never put on weight. Eats as much as Danse, who is a big guy and needs more calories than most. He's really into street food and foreign dishes, won't eat at a restaurant if they speak fluent English or have good customer service. IYKYK. Very comfort food heavy, lots of "this would slap with Netflix at 2 am"

A classic oxtail, mac and cheese, and collard green take out combo

Any and all American-chinese take out, usually gets eggplant tofu with chow mein and cream cheese rangoons

"Walking tacos", those things where you open a small bag of chips and dump White People taco makings in. Probably just tips the whole thing into his mouth

Yakitori, Japanese chicken skewers, popular bar food

Bloody Mary cocktails

Pizza, will fight for the honor of pineapple. Would really be into how Brazil does pizza

Frozen yogurt and ice cream, piles with toppings

Breakfast sandwiches or wraps. Egg, meat, cheese, doesn't matter the time nor specifics.

Jam donuts, loves cherry fillings

Puppy chow/muddy buddies, chex cereal covered in chocolate and powdered sugar. Eats his weight in them if not careful

MacCready; forces himself to learn how to cook for Duncan's sake, but for himself...good God. It's horrible. Eats like garbage. Would never drink water if not to set an example. Take out, frozen food, so much candy and soda. After Duncan, broadens his horizons. Finds he really likes soups. Just throw shit in a pot and it works. Eats on a budget, so that's a life-saver. Doesn't have a preferred flavor pallete, aside from his love of candy.

Meat lover's pizza. Thinks pineapple has no place on pizza

Used to drink Mountain Dew and diet coke, replaced it with iced teas and more organic fruit juices for the sake of his teeth

Chicken soup, either from a can, or homemade. Either way, slaps. If homemade, blends veggies for a hidden veggie stock. For him, Duncan is a lot better at eating veggies, MacCready needs to trick himself.

Sour rainbow ropes

Cookie crisp cereal, thinks whoever came up with it deserved the sloppiest head. Incredible design, no notes

Cheese and sour cream chips

Famous Amos cookies

Eggo waffles

Gnocchi is God to him. Its superior to all noodles and makes your Shit In The Fridge soup 1000 times better.

Rice pudding is cheap, easy, and a surprisingly efficient sweet-tooth satisfier. Makes it with pumpkin spice mix or chocolate.

Nick; Home-cooked meals all the way. Could kill himself with cheese and die happy. Lots of easy meals and snacking so he can keep working, but will treat himself to a nice, hard-earned dinner when he has the time and energy. Likes himself the smokey, the fresh, or the sour. Probably knows all the best sub shops in the city, probably in a turf war with regulars of rival shops. Jewish delicatessens are like church to him.

Lasanga. Most of his freezer space is lasagna. Eats so much of it. He's lactose intolerant. It hurts but it hurts so good

Latkes. Fried potato things, kind of like hashbrowns, except the potato is mashed/ground instead of grated. And yes. Also pastrami. But those little potato bitches...mmmph.

Red velvet muffins with cream cheese frosting.

Fried cheese in any capacity

A prosciutto, arugula, brie, and fig sandwich

Pickled pearl onions

Cobb salad

Black coffee. Temp doesn't matter, because he's going to forget it until its room temp.

Has been known to enter fugue states and consume an absurd amount of Chicago style hot dogs

Scones or just plain bread with butter and jams

Piper; Broke college student trying to make it as a reporter. Her tastebuds are fucked, they salivate not for flavor, or texture, but for those good, good low prices. Piper's diet is almost entirely snackfood or takeout. If she ever cooks, it's for Nat. But when taking care of just herself, Piper eats from a box or bag. When she does cook, it's very simple meals. Loves her carbs and her fruit flavors

Chicken Ramen with canned chicken and frozen broccoli chucked in. Also makes this for Nat

Hot cheetos, eats with chopsticks

Spaghetti and meatballs

Fruit smoothies/smoothie bowls, blends in veggies as well for the nutrition

Coka cola and anything from Fanta, loves fruit sodas

Anything carbs and I mean that. Eats a lot of bread, pasta, cakes, potatoes...they're the sweetheart of anyone on a budget.

Buffalo cauliflower, likes it more than Buffalo chicken

Chewing gum. Fruit flavors only, hates mint gum. Likes mint elsewhere, just not in gum.

Nickle-nips and other "jelly/juice in a wax package" candies. Likes the charm of it, also, free chewing wax

Suckers/lollipops, big on hard candy in general but the stick satisfies her smoking habit.

Preston; A mix of easy depression/bulk meals and dishes from his childhood. Lots of spices, cooks with a lot of straight peppers. Tends to eat his food 'raw', not made into a dish. Again, easy and quick to eat. Also tends to buy pre-prepared stuff for the same reason, buys more fruits and veggies and just eats them straight. Doesn't care about eating healthy, he just lacks energy to cook most days.

I have no choice to explain this as it has no name. Casserole dish, layer of mashed potatoes, layer of shredded or chunked chicken, layer of white breakfast gravy or brown poultry gravy, top with drop biscuits. It's buttery, its savory, it is white as snow. Easy, cheap, one ladlefull is dinner. You'll get a few meals out of it, and it's so filling you have like, five minutes before you're stuffed. I call it gut-glue.

Dirty rice

Eggs scrambled with spinach

Jollof/jambalaya

Veggies and hummus or ranch

Various fruits and berries such as grapes, cherries, blackberries, and oranges

Shakshouka, eggs poached in spicy tomato sauce and eaten with bread

Chicken biscuits, crackers dusted with, like, chicken bouillon? They taste like a chicken Ramen packet sneezed on a ritz

10 Rules for a Flat Tummy: A Simple Guide to Saying Yes (and No) to Your Best Self

We’ve all dreamed of having a flat tummy. Maybe it’s for the confidence of rocking that outfit you love or simply feeling healthier and lighter. But let’s be real: getting a toned stomach can feel overwhelming with all the fad diets and conflicting advice out there. The good news? Achieving a flat tummy isn’t about perfection—it’s about smart choices. Small, consistent efforts go a long way.

Here’s a simple list of “Yes” and “No” rules to help you navigate your journey. These aren’t strict punishments; they’re an opportunity to make better decisions for your body and feel incredible along the way.

Say YES to These Flat-Tummy Boosters

1. More Water

It’s time to get serious about hydration. Drinking more water helps flush toxins, reduces bloating, and boosts your metabolism. Aim for at least 8 glasses a day. Tip: Start your day with a warm glass of water and a squeeze of lemon to wake up your digestive system.

2. Morning Walk

A morning walk isn’t just great for burning calories; it sets a positive tone for your entire day. Walking helps jumpstart your metabolism and clears your mind. Whether it’s 15 or 30 minutes, make it a non-negotiable part of your morning routine. Bonus: Walking in sunlight gives you a natural dose of Vitamin D, boosting your mood and energy.

3. 50-Minute Workout

You don’t need to spend hours in the gym, but you do need to move. Whether it’s cardio, strength training, or yoga, a daily 50-minute workout keeps your core engaged and fat-burning processes active. Mix it up to stay motivated—think HIIT one day and a yoga flow the next.

4. More Fiber

Fiber is your flat-tummy best friend. It keeps you full longer, improves digestion, and prevents bloating. Load up on leafy greens, oats, beans, and fruits like apples or berries. Small tip: Add chia seeds or flaxseeds to smoothies for an extra fiber kick.

5. More Green Tea

Green tea is a powerful fat-burning tool. It’s packed with antioxidants that boost metabolism and aid digestion. Swap out sugary drinks for 2-3 cups of green tea daily—it’s a small habit with big benefits.

6. Keep a Food Journal

Accountability is key. Writing down what you eat helps you spot unhealthy habits and stay focused on your goals. A food journal is like your accountability partner—it doesn’t lie!

7. Eat More Protein

Protein keeps cravings at bay and builds lean muscle, which helps burn fat more effectively. Eggs, fish, chicken, lentils, and nuts are great options. Aim to include a portion of protein in every meal.

8. Chew More

Here’s a little-known secret: chewing your food more slows down your eating and improves digestion. Take your time—enjoy your meals, and let your brain catch up to your stomach.

9. More Sleep

Lack of sleep triggers cravings for sugary, carb-heavy foods and disrupts your metabolism. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to let your body repair and recharge. A well-rested body burns fat more efficiently.

Say NO to These Flat-Tummy Enemies

1. Sweets & Sugar

Excess sugar is stored as fat—especially in the belly area. Say goodbye to candy, pastries, and sugary snacks. If you need something sweet, opt for fresh fruit or a small piece of dark chocolate.

2. Soda & Soft Drinks

These are loaded with sugar and empty calories that lead to bloating and weight gain. Swap sodas for sparkling water with a slice of lime or cucumber for a refreshing alternative.

3. Bread, Pizza & Pasta

Refined carbs spike blood sugar and contribute to fat storage around your tummy. Cut back on white bread, pizza, and pasta. Instead, choose whole-grain alternatives in moderation, or try zucchini noodles and cauliflower crust.

4. Fast Food

Convenient, yes, but fast food is high in unhealthy fats, sodium, and sugar. Your flat tummy goal requires skipping the drive-thru. Instead, prep simple, nutritious meals at home—you’ll save money and calories.

5. Alcohol

Alcohol slows down your metabolism and promotes belly fat storage. If you’re serious about a flat tummy, cut back or skip alcohol entirely. Hydrate with water, herbal teas, or mocktails instead.

6. Trans Fats

These are often hidden in processed foods and snacks. Trans fats cause inflammation and belly fat accumulation. Always check food labels—if you see “partially hydrogenated oils,” put it back.

7. High-Salt Foods

Too much salt causes water retention and bloating. Avoid salty snacks, processed foods, and packaged meals. Use herbs, lemon, and spices to add flavor instead.

8. More Vegetables & Fruits (Limit High-Sugar Ones)

While fruits and veggies are healthy, be mindful of high-sugar fruits like bananas, mangoes, and grapes if you’re focusing on fat loss. Opt for low-sugar options like berries, leafy greens, and cucumbers.

The BEFORE and AFTER Mindset Shift

Imagine this: Before these changes, you feel bloated, sluggish, and frustrated. It’s easy to feel like nothing works. But after following these simple rules, your energy skyrockets, bloating disappears, and your tummy feels tighter.

This isn’t about perfection—it’s about balance. Say “yes” to habits that nourish your body and “no” to things that weigh you down (literally and figuratively). With consistency, these small shifts will add up to big results.

---

Ready to Commit?

A flat tummy isn’t built overnight, but with these 10 rules, you’ll make steady progress. It’s not about deprivation—it’s about saying “yes” to a healthier, more confident version of yourself. So drink that water, take that morning walk, and enjoy the process.

Your flat-tummy journey starts now. Are you ready to say YES?

I HAVENT EVEN STARTED DAY 29 OF FEBUWHUMP AND ITS MARCH

Alr it’s march now which means…………

NATIONAL PENUT BUTTER LOVER’S DAY.

So here is what I think the chain’s favorite penut butter combos will be:

Time: smoothie with peanut butter, banana, and Lon Lon milk. Go to breakfast when with Malon. He will always want to savor it because he loves it so much but then like 2 hours later it is room temperature pretty much melted (?) and he only got halfway done. At that point Wind would probably steal the glass and chug it just to annoy him

Twilight: peanut butter on almost burnt toast, he toasted it too high one time and now absolutely loves it. Everyone judges him for eating burnt toast and is not convinced he actually likes it but generally does. Bonus points if it’s smooth peanut butter.

Sky: allergic to peanuts will eat it if someone makes it for him because he can’t say no but typically doesn’t eat it for obvious reasons. Surprised he’s still alive

Warriors: will take a slice of plain bread, not toasted, coat it with three times the amount of peanut butter and stuff it down in 0.2 seconds flat as he is used to not having enough time to sit down for a meal ( :( )

Legend: Makes the sandwiches but never eats them. He will only ever eat chunky peanut butter if it is smooth he will hate you. It is also 80% jelly and only 20% peanut butter because it’s “spicy”.

Hyrule: peanut butter and dirt mud pies. No other comment.

Wild: will spend 12 consecutive hours in the kitchen making a perfect peanut butter and jelly sandwich with homemade pb and same with jelly. Will get bread from Malon, toast it just right, butter it, and assemble it in the perfect format… only to accidentally drop it on the ground (we all know he’ll still eat it anyway)

Four: He needs structure, the peanut butter and jelly sandwich has to be perfect, a nice layer of smooth peanut butter, with a thin layer of the crunchy stuff on top. He also adds some almond’s for ✨aesthetic✨ he also uses the strawberry jelly that comes in those little packet things.

Wind: If he is not chugging Time’s old have drunken smoothie, he will legitimately reach into the peanut butter jar and scoop HANDFULS out. No spoon. Everyone hates him for it because he literally contaminates the jar for everybody but he does it anyway. Oh if he is “buying” his own peanut butter it’s probably stolen.

Ok I completely approve of Legends peanut butter to jelly ratio😌😌 especially if it's home made jam MMM. Delish

Any time I make a smoothie like Time I also usually only end up drinking half🥲 I wish I had a Wind around to steal the remains 😂

What's your favorite way to eat peanut butter Blare?? I usually eat a spoon of it alone🤗 no bread or sugar for me😭 (I'm on a diet LOL)

[disast3rtransp0rt]

hi i was scrolling the tags on that carbs post & i saw u ask for advice for eating enough when u dont have good physical introspection -- so here i am!

i not only have terrible physical introspection, i also have not felt hunger in over a decade for Reasons. Here's my suggestions:

- find foods that are fast and easy for u to prepare & make sure u always stock those. that way when u do realize u need to eat Right Now, you can do so quickly and easily. vary the type of food if possible, i tend to keep an easy carb and an easy veggie on hand.

- on that note, bonus points for good snacks u can keep where u work -- having some nuts or whatever on hand right next to u makes it way easier to actually eat them when u should.

- don't be afraid to buy the foods that are easier for u to eat! whether thats microwavable meals or Good Bread, buying food u will actually eat is always better than buying food that u won't. meet urself where ur at! also if u buy food u are excited for then ur more likely to want to eat it for non-hunger fulfilling purposes, which makes it easier to eat when ur not Feeling Hungry.

- related, buy things that make it easier for u to make food u will eat. u can often find things like blenders or toaster ovens online second hand for cheap, if money is an issue.

- some people don't do well with 3 meals a day, if this is u then try more smaller meals! i do well with 3 medium-small meals with a big snack in between, my husband does best with 5 meals a day, everyone is different.

- alarms!!!! set alarms for ur meals & snack times. set several if u gotta. the time those alarms should happen is largely a personal thing & it'll likely take some trial and error, but when u get it down it makes it way easier bc u dont have to rely on ur non-existent internal clock for hunger signals.

- if u have a blender, smoothies are great as snacks between bigger meals and also are a good way to easily incorporate fruit into ur diet! i buy fresh fruit in bulk and freeze it but u can also buy bags of frozen fruit if that suits u better.

- u dont have to eat certain types of foods at certain times. eat pizza or mac and cheese or whatever for breakfast if u want. make pancakes or eggs or whatever for lunch if u want. none of it matters, food is food.

anyways, hopefully this is at least a bit helpful!!

I legitimately teared up reading through this, because it once again reinforced for me the idea that humanity's inherent compassion prevails. Thank you so much for this incredibly helpful, succinct advice that will be genuinely useful! These are all issues I've been dealing with and logical solutions!

I've seen a few of these floating around and tried them, but others are brand new and I really appreciate the time you took to share! You've done something very kind for a stranger.

If you'd like to come off anon in my inbox, I'd love to make you a tiny crocheted cryptid of your choice in genuine thanks for the help. I look forward to seeing how these solutions can be applied!

[saucymincks]

As a recovering 90s kid I feel the need to share the thinking that has started to help me chip away at the diet culture bullshit that ruled my life until very recently.

Let's say I eat a big ol' slice of chocolate cake for breakfast.

Old me would have been like "omg oh no calories and fat and sugar, I better have a side salad for lunch to make up for it"

Current me is like "wow okay that was delicious, but it's not necessarily gonna give me the energy I need to get through my work day, so I'm going to have a salad with lots of protein and crunchy veg and a really good dressing to keep me satisfied and awake until I get home. Ooh, a smoothie for dessert sounds great, let's get a mango one. And that comes with a bonus of tons of vitamin C which is great since it's cold and flu season!" but there's not like a moral component here, it's just what is gonna get me through my day, taste great, and not feel like a punishment.

Fed is best. Literally no matter what you're eating, it's better than starving. If it fills your belly, if it brings you some joy, if it offers comfort, if it gives you fuel, mission accomplished.

Cake shouldn't come with a sentence. Salad shouldn't be penance.

Food serves a purpose beyond just "it make body go vroom" and don't you dare let anyone tell you otherwise. Food serves goals beyond just "maximum human performance" and don't you dare let anyone tell you otherwise.

Food is home, culture, kindness, romance, safety, gentleness, indulgence, joy, community - it's so many things beyond macros.

YOU get to define how you use food in your life and what you eat and why. YOU get to choose your priorities with food and why. YOU get to dictate your preferences and I don't care if you're an adult, you're allowed to be picky. As far as I know, we have one life on this earth, and if you only want to eat the things you enjoy, that sure feels like none of my business.

Eat your cake, babe. Eat your salad, buddy. Eat.

Eat.

[coolfire333]

100% agree with the whole "must use up all the zucchini" part of the first reply (my dad is a gardener and we literally get so much zucchini when it's harvest time)

It's practically tasteless on its own so you can hide it perfectly in delicious recipies (dessert breads, muffins, cakes, quiches, savory pies, even smoothies if you know what you're doing) and get all sorts of fiber and other vegetably nutrients as a bonus!

One of my friends is a seriously picky eater (I doubt she'd eat zucchini on its own) but she really loves my mom's recipe for chocolate zucchini muffins and it's nice that she's able to have a tasty treat and also get some vegetables and variety in her diet. Same for me tbh because I don't always eat vegetables as much as I should lol

[perfect-homemade-chili]

Forgot about the food aspects of this blog for past few posts so here are some theme-related novelties/ideas on my mind, writing them down before reorganizing blog. Top four kitchen appliances—

大同電鍋 （tatungdianguo) - one of the great culinary appliances of the past century, these ol’ reliable electric steam-cookers are a staple of immigrant Taiwanese families. Known for cooking rice and for their simplicity, they are famous especially for their versatility and dependability, and rightfully so—I hope to write a story about it someday. I use mine daily and we’ve probably had the same ones since I was in diapers; I imagine it shall be heirloom which I pass onto successors in my dying breath in diapers again. Mine graduated with a degree in ‘Indestructibility’ from Nokia University and doesn’t have the word ‘shower’ in its vocabulary. I don’t even own a microwave, I just try to innovate ways to steam-cook my way through everything. 10/10.

Vitamix blender - another worthwhile appliance that has paid dividends well beyond initial investment. It is incredible how versatile these things are, besides making smoothies. But it is the simple joys that really shine—for example, i blend apples and pumpkin spice for a holiday cider-like drink, or black sesame with oatmilk for a rich-flavored exquisite treat. Or chocolate and strawberries and ice. Or mango or pineapple and orange juice. Without my blender I daresay fruits and veggies are dangerously nonexistent in my diet.

instant pot - i love the idea of what these do, I hope to write a story about one someday. I admire one-pot cooking ideas for their elegance and utility. Bonus points for air-locked lid and dual-layer stainless steel containment, in case you need to cut off air supply to whatever radioactive/eldritch creature you’ve accidentally summoned. Most likely our quest will end with using one to make chili with some tomato-peanut butter stew base.

Egg sandwich maker - recently got one. Can’t wait to test it out. I spend way too much money on egg sandwiches/wraps/burritos for brunch.

Bonus: i’ve given up my brewing machine for some surprisingly quality/excellent valued instant coffee from Anthony’s—tastes great and can’t believe how long a single $20 bag is lasting…

Unlock the Power of Plant-Based Nutrition: High Fiber Plant-Based Protein and Organic Greens

Introduction

In recent years, the plant-based diet has grown tremendously in popularity, driven by health-conscious individuals seeking alternatives to traditional animal-based foods. As more people make the switch to plant-based diets, many are looking for ways to boost their protein intake and ensure they’re getting all the nutrients their body needs to thrive. If you’re on this journey, one of the most effective ways to meet your nutritional goals is through high fiber plant-based protein and organic green supplement powders. Let’s dive into how these two powerhouse ingredients can elevate your health.

What is High Fiber Plant-Based Protein?

High fiber plant based protein is a nutritional powerhouse that provides both protein and fiber in one package. This combination not only supports muscle repair and growth but also promotes digestive health and overall well-being. Unlike animal-based protein, plant-based protein sources such as peas, hemp, quinoa, and brown rice provide a rich supply of essential amino acids while being naturally high in fiber.

Fiber is vital for digestive health as it helps maintain a healthy gut, regulates blood sugar levels, and keeps you feeling fuller for longer. This means that incorporating high fiber plant-based protein into your diet can not only support muscle development but also help manage weight and promote a feeling of satiety.

For those who want a clean, wholesome protein source, plant-based proteins come with the added bonus of being free from cholesterol and lower in saturated fats than their animal counterparts. Additionally, plant-based proteins are often rich in other micronutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

The Benefits of Green Supplement Powder Organic

Adding green supplement powder organic to your daily routine can be an easy and effective way to boost your nutrient intake. These powders are packed with a variety of nutrient-dense superfoods like spirulina, chlorella, wheatgrass, and barley grass. These greens are rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and chlorophyll, offering a wide range of health benefits.

One of the key benefits of organic green supplement powders is their ability to detoxify the body. The chlorophyll found in these greens helps cleanse the liver, flush out toxins, and support the immune system. In addition, greens are known for their alkalizing properties, helping to balance your body's pH levels and reduce inflammation.

The antioxidants in green powders also play a critical role in fighting oxidative stress and protecting the body from free radicals. Free radicals can damage cells and lead to chronic diseases, including heart disease and cancer. By incorporating green supplement powders into your diet, you can boost your body’s natural defenses and promote long-term health.

Why Choose Protein Powder with Greens Organic?

A protein powder with greens organic combines the best of both worlds. By blending plant-based protein with organic greens, you get the benefits of both macronutrients (protein) and micronutrients (greens) in one easy-to-consume powder. This makes it a perfect option for those looking to enhance their diet with minimal effort.

Not only will you get the muscle-building benefits of plant-based protein, but you'll also support your overall health with the array of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants from the greens. Whether you’re a busy professional, athlete, or simply someone looking to improve their overall well-being, a protein powder with greens organic provides a convenient way to boost your nutritional intake.

The Versatility of Protein Powder with Greens Organic

Another great thing about protein powder with greens organic is its versatility. You can mix it into smoothies, shakes, or even use it in baked goods like protein bars or muffins. This makes it incredibly easy to integrate into your daily routine. If you're someone who is constantly on the go, adding a scoop of this powder to your water or plant-based milk can provide a quick, nutrient-packed snack.

For those looking to balance their blood sugar levels, a protein powder with greens organic is an excellent choice. Protein helps slow the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, which can prevent energy crashes and promote stable energy throughout the day. With the added greens, you'll also be supporting your digestive system, helping to prevent bloating and promote a healthy gut microbiome.

Conclusion

Incorporating high fiber plant-based protein and organic green supplement powders into your daily routine is one of the best ways to support your health and wellness goals. Whether you’re an athlete looking for a clean, sustainable protein source or someone looking to increase your vegetable intake, protein powder with greens organic offers a convenient and nutritious solution.

Not only will it provide the essential protein your body needs to repair and grow muscle, but it will also nourish your body with a wealth of micronutrients, fiber, and antioxidants. As more people discover the incredible benefits of plant-based nutrition, high fiber plant-based protein and organic greens are sure to remain essential components of a balanced, health-focused lifestyle.

Start making smarter, plant-based choices today and give your body the nutrition it deserves with high fiber plant-based protein and green supplement powders.

In a revolutionary move that's bound to leave treadmills gathering dust and personal trainers weeping into their quinoa salads, Beyoncé's Renaissance Tour has emerged as the fitness phenomenon everyone's been waiting for. Who needs overpriced gym memberships and the awkward grunting of fellow gym-goers when you can experience the exhilarating burn of a true workout disguised as a concert? Forget the days of sluggish cardio and repetitive weightlifting. The Renaissance Tour is a full-body, high-intensity experience that will have you sculpting your dream physique while simultaneously screaming along to anthems of female empowerment. Dr. Chad Thundercock, a leading cardiologist (and self-proclaimed "Beyoncélogist"), enthusiastically explains, "The sheer energy Beyoncé exudes on stage translates directly to the audience. It's like witnessing a human power plant perform a cardio ballet – your heart rate soars, legs burn, and you leave feeling like you could single-handedly run a marathon...in stilettos." The Science Behind the Sweat Science, honey, hasn't even begun to scratch the surface of Beyoncé's fitness magic. A recent study published in the esteemed journal "Vogue Fitness" (peer-reviewed by a panel of celebrity stylists) revealed that dancing to Beyoncé's music burns an average of 1,000 calories per concert. That's more than a SoulCycle session and a kale smoothie combined! Dr. Thundercock further elaborates, "Think of it this way: Beyonce's choreography is essentially a series of lunges, squats, and core work disguised as a pop spectacle. By the time "Break My Soul" hits, you'll be begging for mercy, but your glutes will be thanking you." The Renaissance Workout Plan: Gettin' Groovy with Queen Bey For those seeking a structured approach, fear not! We've compiled the ultimate Renaissance Tour Workout Plan, designed to maximize calorie burn and leave you feeling fierce. Warm-Up: "Formation Cardio" (5 minutes) Begin by power-walking (or Beyoncé-walking, which involves a fierce hip sway) in place for 5 minutes while belting out "Formation." Bonus points for incorporating air punches and sassy hair flips. Main Set 1: "Break My Soul Burpees" (3 sets of 10 reps) Get low, honey! Drop into a deep squat, then explode into a high jump while singing "Break My Soul." This exercise targets all major muscle groups and your inner diva. Main Set 2: "Cuff It Cardio" (4 minutes) Channel your inner dance instructor and shimmy, shake, and twirl for 4 minutes straight to "Cuff It." Don't be afraid to get creative – think robot arms, leg kicks, and booty pops. Cool-Down: "Cozy with You Core Work" (3 minutes) Lie on your back and raise your legs while singing "Cozy with You." Hold for as long as you can, or until you start giggling at the absurdity of it all. The Renaissance Diet: Fueling Your Fierceness Achieving a "Beyoncé Body" isn't just about pumping iron (or in this case, mimicking Beyoncé's fierce dance moves). It's about a holistic approach to wellness. Enter the Renaissance Diet, a revolutionary (and potentially unsustainable) plan based on pure speculation and Beyoncé's occasional Instagram posts. Think organic kale chips, artisanal kombucha, and enough lemonade to fill a swimming pool. Registered dietician Penelope Periwinkle (who moonlights as a Beyhive superfan) advises, "Remember, it's not about deprivation; it's about mindful indulgence. Beyoncé wouldn't approve of starving yourself, but she definitely wouldn't approve of a greasy cheeseburger either." The Renaissance Revolution: Fan Testimonials The transformative power of the Renaissance Tour is undeniable. Just ask Brenda "Bootylicious" Johnson, a former couch potato who has attended 12 consecutive shows. "Before Beyoncé, my idea of cardio was napping in the sun. Now, I can practically run a marathon in six-inch heels! I even managed to snag a backstage photo with Queen Bey herself, and let me tell you, her glow is contagious." The Call to Slay: Get Your Tickets Now!

So, ditch the treadmills and cancel your gym membership. The only workout you'll ever need is an overpriced ticket to the Renaissance Tour. Remember, ladies (and gents who appreciate a good workout): seats are filling up faster than you can say "
