coffee or tea?

Not a fan of either. Coffee tends to taste burnt, and tea's whole deal of try not to gag on the hot bad tasting water to get a nice aftertaste is so not it. I'm a chai girl, with occasional hot chocolate

[quicktimeeventfull]

me, drinking two cups of coffee the size of a small dog: but why do i feel nervous. perhaps i should get a warm drink, such as coffee, to settle down

[marleysfinest]

you look so pretty...

obligatory tags to the eren babes @somelattes & @bloompompom

you stretch and rub the sleep from your eyes, pleased to see that the weather has improved since yesterday. eren stirs slowly beside you, eyes closed, but you know he's awake. before you have a chance to slip out of bed and head towards the shower, his arm snakes around your waist, pulling you in close.

"mornin'," he croaks, eyes still firmly closed as he clings on to sleep as firmly as he's clinging to you. "time is it? come back to sleep."

you stroke his forearm affectionately as you contemplate the attractive idea, but you know that you should get moving. you want to beat the crowds at the mall before it becomes unbearably busy, knowing that saturday shoppers bring out the worst in you.

"nine," you reply quietly, "c'mon, if you're coming with me then we should get up."

his hold on you tightens, pinning you square against him beneath the feathery sheets.

"d'you have to go?" he asks, his voice carrying a slight whine that you're all too familiar with, "let's just stay here. we've got the whole weekend."

you groan, wishing you could stay, but knowing that there was no way that you could squeeze another week out of your work shirts. you'd left it long enough; if you pushed your luck any further, then you risked an embarrassing incident that you knew for certain you didn't need. no, it had to be today. he tries his best to encourage you to stay, his fingers tracing your breasts and pinching your nipple, knowing it's usually a sure-fire way to get you in the mood, but you're taken by a strange sense of determination this morning.

"c'mon," you urge, tapping his arm so that he releases you, and you sit up on the edge of the bed, "sooner I go, sooner I'm back. you coming?"

eren looks up at you with hooded, scowling eyes, dark hair tangled against the cotton pillowcase, and heaves a sigh.

"fine," he succumbs, "go shower and get ready, I'll hop in after you."

eren reluctantly agrees to join you, thinking that spending time with you while shopping for clothes is better than no time at all. his grumpiness alleviates slightly when you offer to buy him coffee en route, and so you slip into the starbucks outside the mall before beginning your mission. you call up your orders - hazlenut latte for him, chai latte for you - and before long you're swiping up your orders from the barista at the end of the counter. you take a sip, savouring the richness, and eren does the same.

"good?" he asks, you nod, swallowing your mouthful of coffee.

"mine too," he adds, "although, I can't help but think you'd have enjoyed the taste of me better this morning..."

his voice trails off, making it no secret what he was insinuating. you slow your pace to glare at him, eyebrows raised, surprised at how he was being so forward even by his standards.

"we've got the whole weekend," you reply, deciding to throw his own words back at him, which has the desired affect. you just about hear the sigh of frustration escape his flaring nostrils, and you could've sworn that a quiet groan slipped from the back of his throat. feeling strangely pleased with yourself, you pick up your pace, heading inside the mall with your boyfriend in tow.

despite it still being relatively early, the stores are already packed with shoppers hungry for a deal. you elbow and rub shoulders with the public as you frantically search for your new work clothes, becoming more and more desperate to be at home with every passing minute. when you finally reach a section of zara that not only has a half-decent offering of shirts, but is quiet, you take the opportunity to relax the tension in your muscles and flick through the rails at a much more leisurely pace. after pulling some pieces to try on, you feel eren's presence behind you, boxing you in beside the secluded racks. before you have a chance to ask him what he's doing, you feel a cold hand rub against your thigh before riding up your skirt and grabbing a handful of your ass. you smirk as you realise the game that eren's playing, and as he repositions himself, he wraps his remaining arm around your waist, pinning you to him as the other slides his hand from your ass to the elastic of your panties. his fingers barely graze your lips as you suddenly feeling him pressed up against you, and you realise that he's really the one being tormented here.

"something wrong, baby?" you ask, your head lolling back to rest against his shoulder. he looks down at you, emerald eyes burning, the hunger in his expression more obvious than the nose on his face.

"nothin'," he replies, "just... trying to persuade you."

"here?"

"what? we're alone."

there's conviction in his statement, and you realise that he genuinely believes what he's insinuating. you know that, if you gave him the word, he'd fuck you right there against the rails, but having sex at the risk of being seen by not only fellow shoppers but the numerous security cameras surrounding them was not on your to-do list.

"c'mon," you say gently, breaking him out of his daydream, "I need to go and try this stuff on. come with me? I want your opinion."

you take your head off of his shoulder and peel yourself away from his hold, albeit reluctantly. after quickly scanning for the changing rooms, you take one of eren's hands in yours and pull him after you, your fingers limply entwined. if you sense him slow his pace to observe the swaying of your hips (which perhaps you're doing deliberately), then you're sure it's pure coincidence.

he takes a seat on the little stool outside of your cubicle , and as you close the door with a smile, you can't help but notice the pained look on his face and the hunger in his eyes. after sliding the lock across, you slip off your t-shirt and pull on the silky, candy-floss blouse and carefully do up the buttons. you like it; it feels nice against your skin, and fits well, but you want a second opinion. you open the cubicle door to see eren scrolling absentmindedly on his phone, although not for much longer. he looks up to see you striking a deliberately over the top pose, and there's a swell of butterflies in your stomach. you giggle and await his response, noting the almost predatory way he's looking at you as he tucks his phone back into his pocket.

"let me take a closer look," he mumbles, sighing as he gets to his feet and joins you in the cubicle.

once the door is locked once again, eren keenly inspects the shirt. his eyes wander from where it hugs your waist and up to where it gently enhances your breasts, looking progressively unconvinced.

"I don't like it," he says frankly, finally meeting your gaze. "take it off."

you huff a sigh, and slowly begin to undo the buttons from top to bottom, pretending to fumble to see just how much you can rile him. after just two buttons, eren quietly growls and reaches for you in an almost angry frenzy. you're taken aback, but don't mind as long as he doesn't rip off any buttons. he pushes the blouse off of your shoulders, exposing your chest and lacy bra, bringing himself closer to getting exactly what he wants. he takes two handfuls of your breasts and begins to massage them, leaning in to smother himself in them, kissing and licking, knowing how it always gets you going. as your head falls back, you can't help but smile.

"someone's desperate," you tease. he looks at you intensely, and you pretend to ignore the sound of him undoing his belt buckle.

"someone is being a little brat," he retorts, "take it off."

you oblige, realising that, despite achieving some privacy in the changing room, you are still technically in public, and drawing attention to yourselves wouldn't be the wisest choice. you also knew that eren wasn't above causing a ruckus to get what he wanted. you slip the blouse off, letting it fall carelessly to the floor, and succumb to your boyfriend's somewhat feral urges. he hooks his hands around your thighs and forces you to wrap your legs around him, and pins you to the changing room wall. his lips are all over your neck and collarbone, licking and sucking and leaving trails of faint love bites that you'd need to cover with concealer on monday morning. you feel him pressed between your legs, and you realise that you hadn't even noticed him slip his boxers down to his ankles, and so when he slips your panties to one side and slides in with ease, it takes you by surprise. you suck in the air through your teeth as you're forced to adjust, the sound of your breath making him twitch.

"isn't this what you wanted?" he asks, purring into your ear, "isn't this what you've been teasing me about all day long?"

you smile as you cling to him, arms wrapped tightly around his shoulders and gripping on to his t-shirt. he begins to thrust in and out painfully slowly, drawing out quiet but heavy sighs from you each time his pelvis meets yours. your head lolls back against the wall, and despite your eyelids falling heavily through pleasure, you know that eren is looking at you in this state of risky euphoria. you feel his grip on your thighs tighten, pulling you closer together, and burying himself as deep as he can go. you bite back a groan, knowing that he's trying to get a rise out of you, and force out a giggle instead.

"c'mon, you can do better than that," he mutters, suddenly serious as he starts to move his hips again, faster this time. "you're the one that wanted me to come with you. show me what we could've been doing at home all this time. properly."

for a split second you consider it, going all out and letting your inhibitions go so that the entire store would know what you were up to. you even considered whether you liked the place enough to care about inevitably being banned from it, but you still had some of your wits about you. deciding not to fuel his fire any further, you remain silent as you tighten your legs around him, forcing him to bury himself deeper. he throws his head back and groans at the feeling, hitting your deepest part again and again and relishing in the slick building up around him. you let a few choice whimpers escape - louder than you'd wanted - and you both failed to consider anyone who might have been around when you came. eren breaths heavily into the crook of your neck, barely masking his moans as he throbbed inside you, and the two of you stand for a moment while you regain some clarity.

with an always surprisingly gentle hand, eren helps clean you up and get dressed. he carries the clothes you need to return to the rack, saving you the job, and you both walk out of the little changing room with warm cheeks and smiles on your faces.

that was, until you see the security guard standing at the entrance, glaring at you both with the store's suited manager at his side.

[ya-boi-haru]

You know what, I like you, let me share my headcannons/thoughts on an AU I recently mentioned...

Fable smp Coffee Shop AU...

• Sherb runs a 24/hr (or late opened) Cafe, The Alchemist Brew. They specialise is mixing different coffee flavours to create a new taste and can even create one for a persons specific need or even mood.

The people that have often come in say it was exactly what they needed; students coming in to study found they work best with Icarus' creations - jokes that they put a focusing chemical drug in it. People on first dates say they added an ingredient that was a big ice breaker for them to bond over. A few cases come in home sick and the drinks taste like home somehow.

• Rae runs another cafe in a different part of town. It's a more traditional place, more old fashioned, rustic aesthetic.

Rae got to take over this place a lot sooner than he thought.

His mother went missing when he was young and his step-dad, Fable, left a few years ago. Icarus' was supposed to take over the buisness but they wanted to do their own thing, especially since Rae and Icarus had different ideas on how they should run the place.

So Rae runs the Gilded Cafe. While keeping the more traditional things on the menu, Rae also explores the history with Coffee. Makes ones how they would make it 30, 50, 100 years ago and happily, shares it with their customers.

• Athena is learning how to open their own bakery (Flour Garden) with Jamie. They offer their goods as a trial to both Gilded and Alchemist Brew Cafe. This way they get to try new foods and have people taste test them and both Cafes get a unique item on their menus each week. The feedback from customers is always appreciated and it sparks new ideas for foods and types of foods.

• Momboo runs a flower and tea shop, The Pink Tulip, both as a seperate transaction but has a talent for getting sweet tastes out of nature's prettiest petals

• Which is a dramatic comparison to her sister, Ocie/Kai, who runs a bar, Sea Dragon, iconicly known for its underwater sailor/pirate aesthetic and strong drinks to match

• Wolf is a business analyst and has helped with the businesses as well as a few others around town

• His partner, Centross, helps manage the Sea Dragon. A couple years ago, he tried to start a buisness with Icarus and Easton (who is a real estate agent), but it crashed and burned real quick. Wolf talked to Kai and she was generous enough to help Centross get back on his feet and they ended up working really well together.

• Aax works in the Gilded Cafe with Rae. He came to Rae looking for work - one in a new town with no connection to the Telchin company. They were awful, treated their employees terribly, and they would use special artificial chemicals in their drinks to make it taste like flavours (Hazlenut, vanilla etc), never the real thing, even their machines were designed to cut corners with brewing.

• Ulysses is still with Telchin, casual, but is still in the town with his Partner. He used to be able to do beautiful coffee powder art, but since the accident in the shop he can't even hold a cup steady.

• Will runs little a Cafe - The Traveller - based on flavours around the world, some places he's been lucky to actually travel to. Seven helps him run the place and really good with machines so they never have to worry about things breaking.

• Now all these businesses have their challenges, but Icarus feels they have an extra one...

A night club across the street 2 doors down, "The World Port". It's an exclusive place and Icarus had heard a few things about it.

It's a jack of all trades types of place, has accommodation for any events, Bachelor party's, birthdays, buisness meetings, heck even wakes.

Icarus' problem is that - for some reason - the owner recommendeds The Alchemist Brew to their customers as a place to sober up. Which would be fine if that didn't mean nights of drunks coming in, making a mess and passing out. They somehow get their mail mixed up as well, and The World Port is loud and makes it hard to focus on work.

• The World Ports concept is to be a place for everyone. It's main area is a bar with a dance floor and great music. They have sectioned off rooms, identified by colour, each room can accommodate for certain events. You could hold 3 different events in once.

• Smaller Headcannons/Notes:

• Caspian comes into the Gilded Cafe as a place to write his stories. He started going there for the nice coffee and cozy vibes, but the manager seems really nice and passionate about his work, so he kept coming in and is now a regular. And the Barista working there is cute nice to talk to as well

• Rae grew to appreciate the small talks with Capsian while on shift. He's even made it into a few pages of Raes sketch book - that will never see the light of day - but that has nothing to do with anything! Rae always draws random customers for practice! Despite Aax pointing out that he draws Caspian more.

• Aax and Rae are dating and are peeking interest in Caspian.

• Wolf and Centross are dating, though Centross is showing interest in Kai. He would deny it to hell and back even though everyone can see it.

• Icarus gets new ingredients/inspiration from their friends. Athena and Jamie's creations, Momboos flowers etc

• During the business Icarus, Centross and Easton tried to run, Icarus made a purple drink that turned out to have an addicting side effect. Part of the reason thee business failed.

• Since the World Port is exclusive, Icarus can't get in to talk to the owner. However, there have been times when they've come into the Alchemist Brew, and Icarus has just not been in there at the right time to see them.

• If they don't want to deal with maintenance companies, the other owners ask Seven to come over and fix their equipment, especially if it should be a simple fix.

• Galahad works at The Traveller and suggested their own mix of a spicier blend

Feel free to add onto or suggest things!

[baradragon]

just so truly incredible im still thinking about it i need to come back like tomorrow

[cofeeban]

What I ate

I re-read some of my text posts from 2017 era and it made me leaughf

I am just going down through the highlights of that era (college time 2017-2018) for my food choices. First off we have the best thing ever.

Panda express

This consisted of at least 10% of my meals. At the time I was going to college and there's a panda express right next to the math building too and I had classes there so like what else did the universe expect from me. I always got orange chicken with chow mein and veggie spring rolls. If I was feeling crazy I'd sub out the veggie spring rolls with the terriyaki chicken. What was less good was that I felt like I always had to walk a mile just to find anywhere to eat that trash. I am pretty sure I couldn't or chose not to eat at the math library and I hated eating around other people so it took me a while to find a quiet place to eat. I remember walking up the stairs up to a building until I got to the roof access several times just to eat in peace. I once ate in a bathroom stall. I don't really like noise. Now any time I eat panda express I think of this era.

Pancakes

In Persona 5, a video game I played in 2017, my man Akechi mentions pancakes because he loves them. Put simply that's all the impetus I needed to make probably hundreds of pancakes. Granted it didn't start until late 2017 and all the way till the end of spring 2018. At first, I used box pancakes and found they tasted like gum after you had been chewing for an hour. I was disgusted but also pancakes that bad were the drive for me to try to make pancakes so good. So, I followed a recipe online and made minor adjustments until I had perfected the pancake. I was making pancakes every other day because I was so eager to make a good-- NAY-- GREAT PanCake. I'm proud that the people I lived with thought they were good and that I also had a problem with pancakes and they talked to me about it a few times. My next goal is to make hazlenut pancakes. #oneshot but not fanfic the game

other

Those are really the only iconic things I could think of in that era. I abandoned my place in a picket line to get the rick and morty Szechuan sauce at McDonalds. I got two, one for me and one for my cousin who was gonna visit. There was a Chinese place that I ate at that was so cheap and gave huge serving sizes. The only problem was that they would literally close like every 3 months because of failing health inspections. Yeah, it wouldn't be a surprise to see cockroaches abound when you walk in, but imo the food was worth the risk. At least I'm still alive to tell about it.

[nerdasaurus1200]

Sometimes I wonder about all the times Rapunzel might’ve accidentally triggered some of Cassandra’s memories about Gothel and almost broken the hold her dissociative amnesia had on her. Like imagine Rapunzel’s describing what Gothel looked like and Cass can’t help but find it familiar. Or she’ll walk by the kitchen and smell hazlenut soup and even though she doesn’t ever remember ever even having it somehow for some reason that smell is familiar to her…

No Port in a Storm!

Wednesday 30th October 2024 – Valencia, Spain.

I think the last time Jacques and Aloysius saw seas like this, they needed their life-jackets!

The ‘Iberico Themed’ Dinner last night proved quite a challenge, as the wind and the seas built up after dark. Sea Cloud II had already spent most of the day gently pitching and rolling her way south but many passengers had had enough by this point and the restaurant last night was only half full.

I joined an amiable group of English-speaking Germans from Hamburg but we had barely had time to order than the ship went into a deep roll and all the glasses went over, as well a few chairs, depositing their wine and water contents in my lap and that of one of the Germans next to me. Just as well I had white wine; Peter next to me had red!

We pressed on without serious incident however, just interrupted by frequent rolls and lurches. The watchwords were “one hand for the table, one hand for the wine”! The night’s menu featured crispy Iberico Ham with Asparagus, Mushroom Consomme and Iberico Pork, followed by a dessert of warm figs and hazlenut mousse. It was all very nice, as was my rather jolly company!

Meanwhile Captain Kathryn advised us that the port of Valencia was closed because of the bad weather and when we arrived outside the port this morning, after a rather rough night at sea things looked decidedly ominous. The main roads into the city were still closed, as was the airport!

However, the marine port was open, the pilot arrived – albeit late – and we entered the murky port, not knowing what we were going to find ashore…..

Everything But the Kitchen Sink by Amy Schatz

Guys-- do yourselves a favor and read Amy Schatz’s Everything But the Kitchen Sink . It’s crack gone wild, calling out meta tropes through the eyes of two very fed-up FBI agents that are sick and tired of being forced to act out awful fics everyday. They get swiftly punished with astral projections of scantily clad Pendrell and Skinner if they so much as slightly rebel. (Also, could be read as an alternate to Requiem, hah.) 

These types of stories are not my cup of tea. This is my jug of [insert favorite drink.] It’s so. so. SO. good. The strawberry scent Scully is forced to wear, food the duo are supposed to enjoy, and all the decisions Mulder KNEW were ridiculous but was forced to do anyway-- all fantastic. Not to mention both of them wearily accepting that she’ll have to run off to some other country over a slight miscommunication, and that Mulder would have to track her down and tearily resolve their conflict is... *chef’s kiss.*

Quote:

““Scully," he whined, looking up at her.  "I don't like Hazlenut/Irish  Cream/Ginger/Mocha/French  Vanilla/Chocolate Mint  coffee!   And  I  really don't  like  Peach/Pear/Apple Turnovers!"      

Scully shrugged.  "So?  You didn't want to come  to my mother's   house   for   Christmas,  New   Year's,   Easter, President's  Day,  Columbus  Day,  St.  Patrick's  Day,   my birthday,  my cousin's shower, or Spring Cleaning  Day,  but you were glad you did afterwards, right?  So give the coffee and  pastry  a try."  She hoped that he would buy  that  and just  leave well enough alone.  Scully was not up to a fight with *Her* today.      

Mulder shook his head, suddenly feeling rebellious, and thinking  that this insanity had gone on too  long  and  too far.  "But, Scully-"    

"Mulder!" she hissed, "stick to the script!"

Vegetarian Bolognese sause

In sweden we have this classic dish that is a nordification of Bolognese, called köttfärssås. It's not as well know as meatballs, but it's definitely as important. I don't know about now, since I haven't lived there in ages, but when I grew up this was a favourite with all the kids, and something you would serve if you wanted to make sure that any visiting kids would enjoy the meal. Oh, and speaking of visiting kids, I have a few times as a kid experienced the meme of being asked to wait in the room while my friends ate. In my experience this did not happen a lot, and was very unproblematic. It could be that the friend just did not have enough food that particular time and maybe did not have a lot of money to start with, or that I had let them know I had to eat home. I know it sounds bad, and I don't believe my family ever did it, but it is arguably better than saying no to visitors because you already made the food or did the shopping. Maybe it's also a result of what we cook? Because usually we cook and buy very specific portions in the North with not a lot of squiggle room for extra guests. Food is also very expensive. But I digress. I changed this around over the years to make it vegetarian (not vegan), and it's very rich and creamy. Fry in pan, I use a dutch oven:

1 onion, coarsely chopped 1-4 garlic cloves 1-2 dl nuts (I prefer hazlenuts, but walnuts or cashew works too)

Add and boil until the carrots are soft but not mushy:

2 carrots, coarsely chopped 1 can of good quality tomatoes

Add and blend until chunky:

1 dash of soy sauce 1 dash of cream, veggie or dairy 1 sprig of parsley

Serve with spaghetti and parmesan. I use gluten free, off course :)

A relatively brief walk past Piccadilly Circus and through chinatown

(hate those orange wall things that were there at the time of visiting) takes me to seven dials market. This food hall has a number of offerings, but I’m here specifically for pick and cheese- a conveyor belt cheese restaurant!

As someone who’s interested in learning more about + trying new cheeses, but not wanting to spend a ton of money on cheeses that I may or may not like I love this concept!

You get an hour to eat as many plates as you want.

They also give you a menu that explains the plates and that you can take notes on.

It is, obviously a lot of cheese, so come prepared for that.

The cheeses are all paired with a small side bite, like a bit of jam, relish, or a sweet. You also get a little thing of crackers.

I’m not sure if I chose poorly or if the cheeses here just tended to be a little to smokey for my taste, but sadly I did not find a new favorite cheese from the experience.

But I DID accomplish my goal of trying a lot of new cheeses for a price that was way less than it would have been trying all of them at my local grocery store!

I do kinda wish there had been a cheese for beginners key to help explain some of the different kinds a bit more. It was also a bit hard to see the numbers on the little tags till they got close: which is a bit of a challenge when you’re trying to read descriptions as the plates approach. I think normally the color of the plate makes a difference to the price. However on the day I visited they were all priced the same (I think I came on the day the cheeses had all been freshly cut?). They don’t charge you for leftover cheese which is very good because some of these I could not have finished.

IT’S HERE!!! 🥳 I’ve been waiting for this since you posted that you were part Daddy’s Home Fest. I love me some domestic fics with cutie babies 🥺 I would just like to say that this might be all over the place cause I wrote my comments on my notes as I was reading so please bear with me 😅

Right from the sneak peak you showed us, I knew their bickering was gonna be a fun ride 😂 I can’t really blame them for being mad at the other cause I see both sides and can understand each one.

I love how right after talking it out with Yoongi being told to just not park there anymore, he still calls it HIS parking spot 😂 I mean if there’s no official spots for staff, then it’s the spot of the one that parks first. So their fight over it is hilarious to me 🤣 And why does he keep ruining her clothes?!?!? I can’t really blame MC. Even I would think it’s intentional by now, but knowing it isn’t makes it funnier. He gets annoyed cause he already apologized but it’s kinda hard to accept his apology when it keeps happening. He’s pretty clumsy and unaware of his surroundings, good thing he’s cute 😂

Poor Tae, must be hard since he knows Jimin isn’t a bad guy but also wants to be loyal to his bff 😅 but I love how she doesn’t want Tae to be caught between their “fight”.

I also want a JK and Hobi to give me a basket of products frequently 😫 cause that ain’t cheap and my broke ass could only dream of having friends THAT generous 😳

MC being petty with by taking the last hazlenut coffee and taking her d*mn time to finish making it. Pure evil 😈 there goes being “cordial” 🤭 They’re both so petty, i love it 😍😂

And it’s so cute how Harin and Mc adores each other 🥺

Oh no, MC is upping her game and convinced Tae to help her scheming. And now the prank war begins and no one wants to be the first to back down 👀 Personally, I am not a fan of pranks, especially those being done to me cause I’m also petty and hold grudges 😬

Not Tae calling her out the she like him 😂 Those two just wants to rile up each other with these pranks 🥴

Ohmygod! The fake poop 😱🤢 I would seriously be mortified if I saw that on my car 😭 Harin’s reaction was adorable 🥺😂

I knew when friday the 13th and the chocolate cake was mentioned that it was Jimin’s bday cake so I was already dreading when MC took a slice of it 🫣 Good thing Jimin laughed it off but I would seriously still be dying of embarrassment in MC’s place 😭

Are Harin and Jimin’s bday the same or just really close?!? And Mama Park setting Chim up with MC 👀 Good thing cause this petty “war” needs to finally be done 😮‍💨

Koo and Yoon are having the time of their lives finding out who MC is and then Jimin and the others finding out too 🤣

Not MC daydreaming about Min right beside him during the game 😂

They’re flirting 🥴 And they finally apologized, took them long enough 🙄😂 The kiss at the end was 🤌

I really loved this story 😍 That was so good and you wrote 16k worth of it 😳 I really loved the characters you created and hopefully, you can let is see a glimpse of them in drabbles in the future. Only if you want to ofcourse. No pressure ☺️ All in all, it was written really well and I really enjoyed it. Thank you so much for this and I hope you take care of yourself 💜

Ah, honestly this fic came to me so easily after i signed up so I'm glad i was able to post it :)

you took notes? I'm screaming thank you!

A lot of schools I worked at as a substitute teacher or tutor (especially our office) had limited parking spots so if you didn't get there early, good luck finding a spot! once i parked, that's where i stayed until I had to leave lmao

Imagine if they're fighting over the spot, and someone else entirely uninvolved took it one day lol they'd be dumbfounded or perhaps think the other got a new car lol i can see them staking out the spot to confirm and be confused af when someone else gets out

Yoongi was trying to be the voice of reason lol but Jimin just would not listen lmao in his head, it was HIS spot lmao maybe they'll carpool after their date. And something i learned in college and later on from working in schools, always have an extra set of clothes in the car, undergarments included bc you never know when you'll have to change. Jimin was so clumsy but it wasn't his fault (okay it was) he wasn't aware of his surroundings and the pudding had a mind of its own 😂😂😂

Taehyung was in a rough spot. He tried not to get involved but he did without being fully aware of what was going on when he went to lunch but overall i think he did a good job trying to stay neutral 😂

JK and Hobi had ulterior motives for the skincare lol they figured if they did it as a friendly gesture, Jimin wouldn't suspect they wanted him looking fabulous before they suggested he start dating, so all in all, they were trying to butter him up. if he hadn't found MC then the next step was a new wardrobe

They did their best to get on each other's nerves lmao MC loves annoying Jimin, especially since he got coffee and pudding on her clothes. so any opportunity to annoy him was a win 😂

Harin absolutely ADORES mc, they get along so well, and Harin is MC's star pupil :)

I wanted the pranks to be as harmless as possible, more of an inconvenience than anything else. i HATE hurtful pranks so I went with the desktop background thing and the googly eyes and fake poop. and Jimin left his car in the lot over the weekend. he was originally going to get picked up in an uber in front of MC but Yoongi was already picking up Lila and Harin, so it made sense Jimin would get picked up too lol

Harin's reaction to the fake poop was hilarious! she's so cute! and Tae immediately realizes that MC has a crush on Jimin! he's been around for ages so he knows how she gets with a crush lol

I loved the Friday the 13th cake incident! i was so excited to write it lmao Harin's birthday is the 14th of October so they shared a birthday party and yes, MC was mortified when she realized she had cut and eaten Jimin's birthday cake. Jimin found it hilarious!

Jungkook and Yoongi were having a wonderful time laughing at Jimin's expense! everything just clicked! and mc can't help but daydream about Jimin lmao she wasn't expecting to meet Jimin's friends and her mom's friend of a friend who wanted to set her up with her son who happens to take her parking spot everyday lol the kiss was my favorite! they were supposed to kiss the second time they fell on each other but i wanted it to be a little more private.

I definitely had so much fun writing this story, i was surprised i hit 16k whoops, editing was rough, i had to do it in sections and then go back and fix a few more things. and then tumblr wouldn't let me post so i had to use my husband's computer lol bless him. i would like to write a few drabbles for them in the future, maybe of their first date and a few of them later on in the future and perhaps Halloween and their first time carpooling lol

thank you so much! i know i say this every time but i appreciate you so much 💜💜💜 take care! 💜

My parents bought me one of those massive pyramids of ferrero rochers for Christmas one year because I loved them. (think 2012 the initial height of everything having nutella and I was a 21 year old bisexual girl with a tumblr so of course nutella was life).

Well, i had only ever eaten them like 3 at a time once in a while (the little pack) or a spoonful of nutella on toast and I like a good crunch on my toast but, one thing you need to know about me is that I have awful teeth so I cut my tongue often. Especially on nuts and things with a coarse consistency.

So, sweet little me, who just thinks, wow, hazelnuts are specifically sharp little nuts, aren't they? They even cut my throat on the way down. Well, I'm having myself a little movie night and helping myself to a few (like 6/8 or so) with some popcorn. and I'm like "damn. these are really sharp hazelnuts. damn." and I start coughing and my face gets hot. My dad, who had a lot of surprise allergies (like the sudden late-in-life realization that his penicillin allergy meant that he was /allergic/ to bleu cheese. not that it made wings hotter, you weirdo) threw a pack of Benadryl at me and made me take it.

And that's how we found out I'm allergic to hazlenuts.

One absolutely hilarious part of human existence is the repeated incidents of spicy bananas. People who have lived their entire lives up to this point just assuming that a specific fruit or vegetable is supposed to taste bitter, tangy, or spicy, having no fucking idea that all this time, they've been allergic to this plant. Because how would they have known? You learn what things taste like by tasting them, nobody's going to tell you that bananas are supposed to be one of the mildest flavours out there. And people already eat so many things that taste hot, bitter, tangy and tart! Because they like how that kind of thing tastes like!

You can just happily much on a plant, thinking "ah, this angry plant tastes sharp because it hates me. Much like all the other sharp angry plants that people eat because they like the sharp", and it wouldn't cross their mind to think that the plant just hates you, specifically.

Saturday November 18th

Cold and drizzling with a couple downpours, high of 10 low of 4

Got up at regular time and headed straight to the Chateau to grab an early breakfast. The last of the sunrise was coming down so despite the damp I sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful misty morning. Dusty came and sat with/on me for a while and gave me a brief fight when he decided my braid might be a cat toy. I did my journaling on my phone while I waited for our ride to Troyes.

A pleasant train in (about 50 minutes) and I read a book on it. Arrived and as I walked away from the train station I fell more and more in love with Troyes! It looked at first like a typical french town, but then the closer you got to the old centre, there were old half timber houses everywhere! I zoomed my way to see the three main churches first Église Sainte-Madeleine, Basilique Saint-Urbain and Cathédrale Saint-Pierre Saint-Paul. Sainte-Madeleine had a beautiful 16th century rood screen that was just magnificent! Sadly, even though all these churches were built in the 13th century, they don't really have any medieval art in them 😔 Saint-Pierre did have a room of relics and treasures, some medieval, but very few. I think for medieval sightseeing, Italy is still definitely the place to go.

Hit the Hôtel de Vauluisant before lunch (things close for lunch here), a small public history museum with some 16th century paintings, sculpture and stained glass, and then the second half of the museum dedicated for Troyes having been the Hosiery manufactory capital of France for a good while. Small museum, didn't take too long in it.

Headed to the Reulles des Chats next and AHHHHHH its all just cute I just want to live in this part of town and weave through all the adorable little alleyways and eat the wonderful food and AHHHHH I love it here! Met up with Genna for lunch and ran into Claudio who joined us. Chose a place in advanced knowing it has ample outdoor dining. Had a wonderful beef tartare provençal with goat cheese and herbs and a side of shoestring fries and a beer. Really perfect lunch, we parted ways and went off to do more of our own things.

Maison de l'Outil was up next for me, a large 1550s half timber residence and garden that has been turned into a museum of handtools! Really interesting concept for a museum and the displays were GORGEOUS, I only wish they were a little better labeled (although nothing was older than 1600, so whatever). Nothing was in English so I was using google lens to translate everything which drained my phone, so by the end of the museum I was just looking at things. Pretty to look at though and a nice building to boot!

Wandered around for a bit before heading to a bar to sit down, enjoy a beer and charge my phone before it was time to go back to the train. Eve joined me near the end and we headed back to the station together, where we ran into everyone else.

Train ride back was quiet and quick, made it back home to the Chateau around 6:30 where we loitered until dinnertime.

It was Missy's birthday today, so tonight we celebrate!!! For dinner lasagne, green salad, chickpea and avocado salad and cabbage, orange and hazlenut salad. I ate sooo much salad, but that lasagna is the real star, the bechamel sauce and the meat sauce don't fuck around and the pasta is thick and chewy and tastes fresh 🖤 For dessert of course we had cake!! Tonight a beautiful three chocolate mouse cake with a crispy wafer layer that was just FANTASTIC! Straight from the patisserie this one! I sat with Missy at dinner and talked and talked and talked well after dinner. Chef Lorine caught me mooning over the plate and sent me home with a couple slices for a midnight snack 😈

Walked home with my cake and had a good read before bed. 10/10 day. Face hurts from smiling.

⚅— @fangedstories asked: —⚅ ⚅— 💭💭💭 (Kiryu, Joker, Shell) —⚅

Hanekoma's Thoughts

— ★ ⚄ ★ —

⚀ Kiryu: Kiryu was a little wild for Hanekoma's tastes, but he didn't hate him. He was spirited and passionate and these were all good things for a Composer. He'd also went above and beyond and had taken Hazlenut's punishment for the Impurification. But beyond that... Hanekoma couldn't say he knew Kiryu very well. Not even enough to really have a good nickname for him, and that was saying something. As much as he had grown attached to Hazlenut, he didn't know the first thing about how Kiryu worked, and he'd even met him first. It didn't feel right but... Well, he wasn't sure what to do about it. Surely if Kiryu had wanted anything to do with him he would have said so by now. His attention was all on Queenie instead, for other reasons. And he had too much to worry about to be chasing people down for coffee. He needed to focus on his work, and he couldn't do more from where he was. It was unfortunate, but that was just how it had to be.

⚀ Joker:

Joker. Hanekoma had really risked himself by taking Joker in, and he still didn't entirely like the position being in charge of Joker put him in. It was dangerous, so dangerous, and he wasn't supposed to be doing this anymore...

But he couldn't have just left it alone. Joker was going to be eradicated, and he didn't want that. Joker didn't deserve it. So now they were in this mess together, and he was afraid, but he was happy he'd taken him in. The fallen angel had done so much for everyone, not just him, but for everyone he came in contact with. He was good, and it was good that he was in the world, and aside from some... understandable situations, he could honestly say that Joker got better every day.

He just hoped it didn't come crashing on their heads. If it did... God. He didn't even want to think of it.

⚀ Shell: Honestly, Hanekoma didn't really know what to think about Shell. Neku. Whatever his name was. Someone Abe had taken in, a kid that seemed to struggle with basic concepts. He had picked up that the soul was some sort of damaged by conversations he'd seen over chat, but aside from that he knew nothing about the kid. He couldn't even recall having talked to him before, or if he had it hadn't been for any extended length of time.

Ah well, it was Abe's territory so he didn't need to get involved anyway.
