#well i think you're wrong for not being a vegan or at least a vegetarian

Alastor x Falling for a Vegetarian/Vegan Reader

• Alastor doesn't understand how you can go without eating meat, seeing as he eats it every single day for every meal.

• Not to mention you've been doing it for six years? He wouldn't be able to, personally.

• "I refuse to believe that you simply stopped eating meat one day and quit all of a sudden. What do they call quitting suddenly again? Ah, yes. Quitting cold turkey."

• What do you mean it wasn't sudden?

• "My parents were originally against it since they said meat had important proteins, but after a while, I managed to convince them that I could eat other things for protein. Eggs, tofu, things like that."

• "Why would you do such a thing, though? Meat does tend to have a good amount of protein, after all. I can't imagine going a day without it."

• "I felt bad for the animals."

• "You felt bad for the animals," he repeated slowly, unblinking. "Well, understandable, but also, that's a bit silly!" His smile never fades as he talks. It's clear that he's not trying to patronize you, at least not on purpose, but that he genuinely thinks so. "Animals die all the time by natural causes, be it a car crash or disease or whatnot! There's nothing wrong with eating them before their time. Everything dies eventually!"

• "That's, uh, kind of morbid."

• "But true!"

• He had a point there. Nevertheless, he accepts it, but that doesn't stop him from being a bit of an ass asking if you want a bite of his meal before he eats, to which you always politely decline.

• "Suit yourself," he hums as he goes into privacy and begins his meal.

• You really try not to think about what (or who) he eats and his eating habits unless he reminds you.

• He only does that sometimes. Not too often, thankfully.

• But still, you can't help but be a bit curious.

• "So, like, the teeth."

• He raises a brow.

• "What sharp teeth you have." You pause. "Like... do you use them to like... rip into things, or...?"

• "Curiosity killed the cat." He keeps smiling. "But I suppose I'll humor you. I usually prefer to tear those I feast on bit by bit before indulging. It is quite messy, however, when their organs and limbs are, well, flying everywhere and getting all over the walls, not to mention the sheer amount of blood that's spilled when I—"

• "Okay! I get it! You painted a very good picture, thank you!" You didn't that he'd get that specific. Why would he get that specific? You felt queasy.

• "Oh, did I go into too much detail? Forgive me, I can get a bit excited at the thought of meals."

• "It's fine." That doesn't help the fact that you still find it disturbing, and it shows.

• He holds out an arm. "Come along. I know a great place that serves the best vegetarian and vegan meals."

• You latch your arm with his and let him lead you, slightly confused. "But you're not either of those."

• "Yes, but you are. I figured it was time for a change."

• "You're going vegetarian? Or vegan?"

• That gets a tiny laugh out of him. "No, no. Never. I'm simply going to watch you eat and order something for myself. Not eating meat for one meal won't kill me, after all."

• And that's how you two ended up at a restuarant.

• If anyone asks, it wasn't a date. At all. Just a friendly gesture of goodwill.

• He's a gentleman. He obviously paid for both your meals and expected nothing in return.

• You two make it a biweekly thing.

• (You claim it means nothing to you.)

• (You're lying.)

• He says he's just being polite and trying to have new experiences.

• (He's lying too.)

hi! i hope you're doing well. i was wondering if i could ask you if you've written/know of any writing about maintaining a vegan lifestyle while recovering from an eating disorder. whatever i've googled about this subject has given me...p questionable results imo? if for any reason you'd rather not answer this question, ofc you're not obligated to! ❣️❣️❣️thank you either way :)

I’ve been thinking about this question for a while—& I’ve gotten similar ones in the past—and to be honest I can’t say I’ve experienced what you’re going through. My vegetarianism (if not my veganism) predates my history of disordered eating by several years. I don’t experience veganism as ‘restriction’ akin to disordered eating—I never would have thought to compare the two things—it’s not that I’m not giving myself unconditional permission to eat whatever I want to, it’s just that I don’t really consider non-vegan food (or at the very least meat) to be “edible.” I guess what I’m describing *is* a taboo that I’ve built up around certain foods, but it dates from my childhood and doesn’t feel unnatural to me. The motives behind it are moral ones and thus very different from the impetus behind my disordered eating.

That being said, I think that if you’re experiencing veganism as restriction, it might help to take note of when this feeling crops up. Is it when you’re obliged to choose a different option at a restaurant than you might have wanted? When a bakery doesn’t have any vegan sweets? When a coworker offers you something non-vegan and you’re obliged to decline? This kind of thing is why I originally learned to bake—it was before a lot of places had vegan options, so if I wanted to eat cake anytime in the next several years I would have to make it myself. Making or seeking out alternatives to non-vegan things that you perceive to be just as good as what you’re missing out on might help a lot. I’ve been told several times that a certain cooking blog that may or may not exist and may or may not be attached to me has aided someone with ED recovery. There are ways to enjoy food, to seek food out, to have fun with food, that don’t go outside of a vegan diet—whether that’s seeking out vegan food culture in your area (if it exists) or learning to cook and bake vegan food yourself. And there are vegan recipes and food blogs that aren’t motivated by an interest in ‘health’—I’d recommend finding some recipes that you’re excited about and continuing to try new things.

If none of this helps, and you’re continually experiencing keeping to a vegan diet as a feeling of restriction, shame, or guilt around food, then there’s absolutely nothing wrong with putting veganism on hold for now, or leaving it entirely. Eating disorders are devastating physically and psychologically, and your health and well-being are more important. Even a switch to vegetarianism may give you a little bit of leeway. (If you’re going to go this route, consider seeking out advice from people who’ve done the same on how to re-incorporate foods gradually so as not to trouble your digestive system too much—I’ve heard it can be rough at first if you’re not careful!)

September Sky Chapter Four, Part 9

"Only in that statement. I stay out of politics. It just seems like war with money instead of bullets. And no matter how hard people try, there isn't going to be a revolution any time soon. Black bandannas and black flags have become a uniform, and a cliched one at that. The far left has become the far side. It's ideals built atop fashion."

"Oh come on, some have their merits."

"They all have their merits. I just don't find the care or interest in trying to change something that is probably never going to happen. At least not in my lifetime."

"Fair enough." I couldn't read her. Anxiety started biting that I'd said something wrong with my cynical take on political freedoms.

The hostess appeared out nowhere again, leading us to a table in the far corner. It was lit up a hanging lamp, casting a dim yellow glow around the table. I pulled Addison's chair out for her. Chivalry is dead, and I dress like a corpse. I've used that joke already. After she sat down, I took my own space.

Both of us studied our menus. It seemed the place was more vegan than not. And that was fine. For a brief period of high school, I had tried going vegan. I made it about a month before I caved to a free Whopper from Burger King. From Chad actually. I was an awful vegan, and that just means I was even worse at being a vegetarian. You know, because if you don't succeed, say fuck it and quit.

I don't remember what either of us ordered. I don't even remember the waiter coming to the table.

"You're awfully quiet," she said.

"I know. I'm sorry. I'm really not good at this. I've been out of practice for quite a while now."

"You're fine. There's no reason to be nervous, is there?"

"Well, yeah, there's always reasons to be nervous."

"Like what?"

"I could easily find a way to ruin this. I'm pretty good at that."

"I wish you could get out of your head. I mean, you great at the show."

"That wasn't a date. Was it?" I looked at her. I wanted to know what she called it. Just like our first meeting I couldn't tell. And tonight there was no doubt that this was a date. And that changes things, kind of.

"I don't know. Kind of. Maybe. Maybe it was a half-date," she said, thinking.

"Alright. I can handle that."

"That would make this date number 1.5," she said with mischief in her eyes again. It glinted out in sharp shards of mirror glass, bearing and showing directly into my own deep mind. Portals to a beautiful and wonderful world.

"So technically, not really a first date," I said. I got what she was trying to do, and I appreciated it very much. I didn't know how well it would work, but the effort made me grateful."

"Exactly. No reason to be nervous." She put her hands on the table and I took them in my own. Lightning strikes again.

"I'm still bad at this. I don't actually know how to talk like a normal human being. In fact, I'm not even talking now. It's all prerecorded."

Addison laughed and killed me with her smile again.

"Ask me anything. Then I ask you questions. It's a pretty simple concept to figure out." The gleaming shard of mischief still hung in her eyes.

"Ok, umm, fuck. How was your day?" I said, blurting the first boring question that popped into my head. Addison softly laughed. It was a warm laugh.

"It was good. I spent the day reading and listening to music. What about you?"

"Other than pacing around my house? I didn't really do much."

"You were pacing around your house?"

in a constant state of like medium apathy abt the world. seems kind to even call it morally grey.

bonjour mom this might be a stupid question but i'm super interested in environmental protection and i'm trying to go vegan and buy less and all that jazz but everything is super expensive if it's local or it's okay but they have to fly it here etc and i understand your idea of only getting quality stuff but like i don't know yet what i like so i don't want to splurge (not that i could anyway) and i want to avoid amazon but it's super practical and at least it's for sure not a scam and i WILL get my package etc, and sometimes i do like a bit of dairy or i'll have birthday cake but i feel super guilty about it and i'm getting super anxious, do you have any advice??

Hello dear (and oh boy, this is going to be another wall of text),

I've been there. I went vegetarian with the hopes of becoming vegan back in 2012, went super minimalist, started to buy way less, switched to bulk and organic, got a menstrual cup, felt like I had to donate money I didn't have because others needed it more than me and felt awful every time I binned something thinking I actually didn't need that thing and that was a selfish decision, and it was so hard to see other people around me not caring about these things. It was eating me alive and making me bitter and sadder than a bag of rocks. It's a real thing called eco-anxiety and it's well-documented at this point so you can look it up.

In my case, researching capitalism and going to therapy were the key. Because little old me being vegan not only wasn't sustainable because I had personal issues with food and ADHD and it made it worse, but at the end of the day it's not going to be enough to annihilate centuries of specism and make the industry change its mind; just like little old me feeling guilty about buying ice cream because I was going to have to throw away the pot is the most insignificant thing in the world when you look at what Nestlé or cruise boats are doing to the planet.

Whatever you do, you will have to sacrifice something and it will never be enough - you've already noticed it. Change comes gradually, when people come together and stand against what's wrong, which has been harder to do these days where we routinely lose family members and friends to Facebook radicalisation. My advice is to do what I've been doing, after years of trial and error: putting myself first, staying realistic about my goals, practising empathy, remembering to be a role model rather than a preacher, and giving myself time before I make a decision.

I like you prefer to boycott Amazon but between shipping fees, delivery time, dodgy neighbours, prices, fear of scammers (...), I used it occasionally to get stuff whenever it felt like the best solution. But then, at the beginning of the pandemic, I bought face masks online from a French pharmacy, which cost quite a lot but I was trying to do the good thing. Three weeks later I received a white piece of plastic that looked like every package from Wish videos on Youtube from somewhere in China that contained the masks with a little note in broken English stating that those were only for fashion and couldn't be worn for medical reasons.

I did some research and realised that they bought the items for pennies on Aliexpress and got the suppliers to directly send me my order - it's a very scammy and common concept called drop shipping. If you're looking for anything brandless on Amazon (from sunglasses to hairbrushes to decoration and gym equipment), check out Aliexpress and your cart will go from 132,99 to 17 bucks in under five minutes. So after years of judging people who use Aliexpress or Wish, I started doing the same, because what I receive is the exact same thing, but there's no mediocre business tycoon wannabee making a profit on my behalf in between.

And ever since, I've rethought my beliefs. I no longer feel bad about wanting children even though every human being creates a lot of waste in a world where Kylie Jenner takes a private jet to avoid a 40-minute drive. I no longer feel bad about occasionally flying to go on vacation because I have only one shot at living and once in a while I deserve a break. I no longer feel bad about doing my nails even though I will have to buy and dispose of cotton buds because I'm tired of neglecting my happiness to avoid worsening problems I haven't even caused.

I still do what I can. I'm still conscious of what I do, don't waste water, buy all my clothes secondhand, donate money whenever I can and all that, but I'm at peace. I try and that's what matters in a world where succeeding is not an option.

Love,

Mum

𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬

pairing: leo valdez x gn reader

summary: five ways he says i love you through his actions

warnings: implied nudity and s*x, discusses food and eating and nothing else, i think. oh, and maybe some typos

category: headcanons

love letters/notes

leo is a busy boy

he's always picking up new projects so he can spend all day in his workshop or the forges with his siblings

when you guys live together, he leaves small notes on the refrigerator for you

they're always short, saying simple things like "i love you" and "i miss you already"

for the love letters, he'll leave them in random places for you to find

if you're a big reader, i can see him hiding it between the pages of your book

one day, you pick up your book to read, and the note falls on your lap

it's a love letter written on a piece of blueprint paper; there’s a little bit of oil smudged on the side of it

he got distracted while he was working on something because you were the only thing he could think about

his love letters never fail to make your heart flutter

sometimes they make you cry

he's quite sentimental

leo always tells you he does better writing down his feelings than he is saying it out loud because he can organize his thoughts better

you know that leo has a hard time with that because of how he grew up

when you guys have an argument, which isn't very often, he writes his feelings down on paper

he's always quick to apologize if he did something wrong, and the notes help him form the apology that you deserve, and you're quick to forgive him

once, you were super angry after an argument, so you locked yourself in your shared bedroom

you needed to calm yourself down

the both of you much too angry and stubborn to make a compromise

as your recollecting yourself, 40 minutes in, a folded piece of paper slips from under the door

the letter has teardrop stains, and the ink is slightly smudged

on the paper, it's all his thoughts written out in the best way he can explain them

after reading what he wrote, you quickly deemed that whatever you were fighting about was silly, and you guys made up

you love his spontaneous notes so much that you do them back

you guys have a game of who can find the most creative hiding spot for your notes

one time you found one tapped to the inside of the toilet cover

you found it hilarious

you throw folded post-its with messages in his tool belt

he finds them during the day while he's working on something

after you joined in on the fun, he scatters notes in random places, and every few days, you find a new message hidden somewhere randomly

they're just so sweet; there’s never a time where they don't make you smile

gifts

this is a given

it's not a leo headcanon if gift-giving isn't included

he would make you things like roses from scrap metal to literal furniture

if you have a lot of jewelry, he will make you a cute jewelry box

if you're a big book reader, he'll make you bookcases to support your book collection

he's always giving you little trinkets that he made with leftover materials from projects

he loves making things for you and gets upset when you decide to buy something from ikea instead of asking him

"babe, why would you buy that? I could have just made it for you!"

when he's on his way from returning on his quest, sometimes he'll find something that reminds him of you in a store, and he'll buy it

when he has the money for it, he'd buy you a star :(

says that he spent even more money to buy an extra bright star

because "you're the sun in my universe"

brb gonna cry

also, he'd gift you a bond bracelet

you know, those bracelets where every time you tap on it, it makes the other person's bracelet vibrate

the both of you get anxious when one of you goes on quests, so the bracelets bring the other person who's at home comfort

because when you tap back, at least he knows you're alive and vice versa

one of the best gifts you've ever received from him was your engagement ring

he made it himself

he took so much care and effort into making it

imagine leo forging your wedding ring himself??? i'm in spain with no s

he was so nervous that you wouldn't like the style, so he had piper casually bring it up to you

piper was so nonchalant about it that you didn't even think twice about the question

the ring has the prettiest gemstone or diamond (whatever you prefer)

you cried so hard when he told you he made it himself that you couldn't even say yes to his proposal clearly

he makes both of your wedding bands too

he carves a saying that's dear to the both of you on the inside

this is nothing to do with anything but imagine when you guys have kids, he makes animals out of pipe cleaners for them i'm gonna cry, brb pt 2

overall, whether he makes the present himself or not, he puts a lot of effort and care into it

every gift has a meaning and a place dear to your heart

cooking for you

leo is canoningly a good cook

he loves cooking for you

and you love eating what he makes

he's usually busy on the weekdays, so he cooks on the weekends

you guys always joke that he'd be the cutest househusband

you got him an apron for Christmas as a joke gift one year, and he wears it all the time

there's something so charming about him wearing an apron with a funny saying like "Mr. Good Lookin is Cookin" or with like a ripped out shirtless guy in front of it

you giggle every time you see him wearing it

oh, no matter how many times you've seen it, it's still so bizarre when he takes out hot trays from the oven with his BARE hands

everything he makes tastes amazing

he makes all kinds of food and is always trying something new

if you tell him what you’re craving, he’ll cook it for you

once he woke you up to ask if you wanted ribs… it was 3 am but like, of course, you wanted some

unless you're vegetarian or vegan, sorry, HAHA

often though, he does make Mexican food

it reminds him of when his mom was alive

he always has some story to share

every time he makes caldo de pollo (chicken soup), he always talks about how his mother would make it in the summer and that when he was little, he would always complain about eating hot soup in hot weather

you know he doesn't notice his constant telling of this story, but you don't mind

it's so bittersweet when he talks about his mom

through the cooking of his traditional food, you feel closer to him and his late mother

the memories he shares with you makes your eyes sting with tears

especially when leo says how much he wishes that esperanza could have met you

sorry, that was a little emo

also, leo usually wakes up earlier than you

he knows you're a sleepyhead, so he'll cook breakfast for you

so that when you're running around in the morning trying to get dressed and your things together

you never leave the house hungry because there's always a tupperware filled with breakfast, and if he has enough time, he'll fix you something to take for lunch too

if you come home late from work or school, he'll make dinner even if he's tired to surprise you

so many times you've come home from a shitty day at work or school, and the small table where you guys eat your meals is all set up with your favorite food

leo greets you by peeking his head into the hallway from the kitchen, tossed curls, cheerful brown eyes, and a bright grin

"I hope you're hungry," he says, despite knowing that you are hungry

and then you guys talk and laugh together over a delicious meal

compliments

leo's really observant

he notices when you’re in a bad mood, even if you try not to show it

he also notices when you change little things about your appearance

if you get a haircut or you get your nails done, he'll comment on it right away

especially outfits

if you buy something new, he'll complement it

imagine standing in front of the mirror, looking at yourself in your new outfit

leo comes behind you, his hands coming around your waist

he'll pepper kisses on your neck, a soft hum leaving his lips as he meets your eyes in the mirror

"is this new, mi amor?" he asks, hands running up your sides

once you affirm that it is a new dress or shirt, he'll smile and tell you how beautiful you look in it

maybe says he'd rather see it off of you wink wink

there's never a day where he doesn't compliment you

he thinks you're the prettiest person in the world

you've caught him staring at you lovingly plenty of times

he's just asking himself how did he manage to get someone as beautiful and amazing as you

you always squirm under his gaze and playfully ask what is he looking at

"you're so pretty, mi amor. I can't help it."

AHHH!!!!

alongside the endearment of mi amor, he'd always call you bonita and hermosa

you're so sweet to him, and he can't help but tell you how much you mean to him every chance he gets

surprises

leo is an acts of service kind of guy

i think he'll spontaneously do things to make you happy

if you've been busy studying for finals or just beat up from a day at work

he'll draw you a bath

or he'll cut up some fruit for you and leave it at your desk

he randomly buys you flowers

he never needs an occasion to buy your flowers

it'll be a regular tuesday, leo just happened to walk past a store with flowers displayed in the front, and he thought about how bright your smile would be if he showed up with a bouquet

I feel like he's pretty introverted, enjoys being at home with you

the both of you are pretty broke for a while, so a lot of dates were at home

leo made the most of it

you guys will have nice dinners at home

he'll set the table nicely, set the mood with candles

he'll redecorate the space so well you feel like you're at an actual restaurant

and of course, his food is amazing

breakfast in bed is another thing he'd do for you unsolicited

especially if you guys had a looong night wink wink

you're woken up by his still groggy voice, fluttering kisses on your cheeks

you open your eyes to see he's set a tray with your favorite breakfast on top of the bed

the two of you will eat breakfast together, which usually leads to you staying in bed for the rest of the day

just enjoying the warm cocoon your sheets create around the both of you

overall, he's super observant and caring, and he goes the extra mile to make sure you're happy because he knows you do the same

anyways, does anyone know where I can get a leo?

Fast Food for Many Diets

If you're on a road trip and you need to stop somewhere that can handle multiple diets, try Taco Bell or Burger King, with Taco Bell being the slightly better choice as it offers more options for everyone.

Taco Bell can do a lot with toppings and rice that will be good for your gluten-free friends and it has many options for vegetarians and vegans, too. They have an awesome FAQ online and will help you avoid your allergens.

With it's Impossible Whopper and vegan french fries, Burger King is great for vegetarians and vegans. It is a lot less friendly for gluten-free folks, but there are some options.

I have not included halal or kosher options because I don't understand those diets quite as well and because I think that, worst case scenario, people adhering to those diets can just do a vegetarian meal? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The #1 place to avoid, by the way, is McDonald's. It is the least friendly. Their fries and hashbrowns are fried in beef-flavored oil (yes, after taking the beef out, they've put it back in as flavoring; I only recently learned this). Their salads are mostly premade with chicken. They have nothing for vegans, iirc. Vegetarians can grab an egg and cheese biscuit, though, now that they do breakfast all-day.

[eeveelutionsforequality]

I'm trying to say this in the least offensive way possible but quite frankly your stance on veganism is questionable at best. I don't understand why there is such blatant hate and discrimination for vegans and why you're determined to prove that "no one can survive on a vegan diet". As a biologist and dental student i study human anatomy almost exclusively and it's so annoying when uneducated people who are not health care professionals preach to me about diets.

Still the same anon talking veganism, it's pretty much POC erasure to say no one can survive on a vegan diet because it's not like entire civilizations have lived for millions of years on entirely plant based diets or anything. Like the most isolated civilizations in Japan are often vegan (not even eating fish products) and one of the oldest civilizations and the hindu religion are vegetarian, and many have dairy allergies on top of that lol. Not to mention early horticultural societies too.

You okay there? Kinda attacking me over something that I don't think, and that's raising all sorts of questions.

I don't think that nobody can survive on a vegan diet. I don't hate vegans either - one of my friends is a vegan, and I often laugh at her vegan memes and jokes (and she's definitely alive and functioning, despite having been vegan for quite some time). A vegan diet can be difficult and can definitely have ill effects if not done right, but that doesn't mean that you can't survive on it (heck, you can survive well over a month without food at all).

What I do believe is that I can't survive (or, at least, survive healthily and painlessly) on it, and neither can plenty of other people, for health reasons and financial reasons. I'm very sick, I'm disabled, I tried a vegan diet and I ended up having to go to hospital because I was throwing up and weak constantly - there was absolutely nothing within my price range (I'm very poor) that could've helped, and even things outside of my price range probably wouldn't have worked. Plus, I already have an eating disorder and get a lot of stomach pain from eating in general (but especially from certain foods and, unfortunately, a lot of those are vegan foods - I'm allergic to meat substitutes, for example), so cutting out one of the things that I can manage to eat would be really detrimental to me.

I can't find any posts on this blog that say anything about nobody being able to survive on a vegan diet - there's a couple saying that cats and dogs can't (which is true as hell), but none saying that people can't because... well... I don't think that people can't (we're omnivores, not carnivores, and we're good at adapting to our environment and that includes diet). If I've posted something that you think implies that (or where someone else has said that) show it to me, but short of pointing out potential health issues that can arise (but don't always) from veganism, pointing out that I (along with some other people) can't be vegan, and pointing out that certain animals can't be vegan, I don't believe that I've said anything that you could misunderstand as "nobody can survive as a vegan". Oh and there's a post somewhere with a gif that's joking that y'all care more about animals than the immigrants that pick the vegetables that you eat (keyword: joking).

Secondly, I'm not uneducated, but that's a lovely assumption on your part - do you just assume that people on the internet are all kids who's opinions came out of thin air, rather than that plenty of us are adults who've been to college, read research, and take an interest in topics?

Thirdly, umm you're a biologist and a tooth fetishist so how dare your uneducated ass come at me about "human history and culture" or whatever, uuuugh, I hate it when people who are not isolated Japanese communities preach to me about isolated Japanese communities...

That'd be a pretty rude argument to make, dismissive of your interest and research into those things, wouldn't it?

But I don't think that nobody can survive on a vegan diet, so your point is entirely irrelevant. There's a lot to talk about and a lot of discussion to be had about that second ask, about those communities, about human history, about diets and adapting to environment, about the poor debate tactic of using that to slander the supposed opponent with "PoC erasure" accusations rather than using it as a "look, here are examples where you're wrong", since the motivation of the hypothetical opponent wasn't to erase anybody but rather to make a claim about a certain kind of diet... but I literally don't care because you only brought it up to argue against a strawman, and so I've no reason to even talk about it when I'm not in the mood to.
