#windex and GOOP

[thedivinemechanism]

what's your favorite/go to parfume/cologne/body spray and what's your favorite bubblegum flavor

I'm told I smell like peppermint and beeswax, which is probably just the salve I use on my joints. They could also just be saying that to be polite, I'm not really sure. I don't typically seek out social occasions or take visitors, so smelling nice isn't very high on my list of priorities.

Motor oil would be my go-to when working in the lab.

When I do need to have some sense of composure, either for myself or others, I like a good citrus smell. It helps me feel clean and keep my thoughts centered. But I'm afraid the products I use aren't going to be the luxury brands you're thinking about..

This may be a controversial opinion, but I like the old-fashioned bubblegum. Just your classic bubblegum flavor (which is apparently pineapple, banana, cinnamon, and wintergreen?). The kind that tastes like the best gum in the world for five seconds before turning to a waxy plastic lump in your mouth. There's something so nostalgic about the faded colors on the wax paper wrapper. I used to save up all the loose change I could get my hands on to buy this one specific brand that had small comics folded up inside the package. I haven't seen it since I was maybe twelve years old? I've looked everywhere in Piltover, but I think I need to just accept that it's been discontinued.

Disclaimer: Gifs not mine

Loki turned over in the bed, half asleep, his arm seeking out your slumbering form. Even when you were off in dreamland you sought out his warmth, snuggling closer to him. He loved the way you fit against him, your back to his chest. If he could, he’d just curl around you and hold you to him forever. 

As Loki began to drift back off to sleep, he heard a sort of popping noise. It could have been nothing, he knew. But then again it could have been-

“Did you know that if you microwave a marshmallow it will blow up?” Peter asked excitedly.

“It’s two in the morning-” Loki abruptly cut off when the teen hopped on the bed. You began to stir, too. “What are you even doing h-”

Cue the sound of another marshmallow blowing up in the background. Loki groaned.

“Hehe, sorry,” the young hero apologized sheepishly.

“Ok, ok. Let us go check out your little science experiment, hm?”

The God of Mischief gave you a quick kiss on the cheek before he got up. You made a little whiny noise and felt around the bed for him as his body went missing from beneath the sheets. He chuckled and whispered to you that he’d be back soon. He hoped that your slumber hadn’t been too disturbed.

The rest of the Avengers were busy on some mission or another, and Aunt May was off visiting some friends. So, Peter needed someone to look after him, and you and Loki just so happened to have a spare bedroom in your apartment. Though, he was supposed to arrive in the morning. Loki chuckled at the boy’s reply when he voiced this.

“But it is the morning! You said it yourself. Two in the morning.”

“That is not what I meant, spiderling. We were expecting you in the daylight.” He laughed softly, not even mad when he saw the sticky mess. “And here I thought I was the expert mischief maker.”

“I’m sorry Mr. Loki,” Peter sighed. “I wanted to make you guys s’mores, but things got a little out of hand. Don’t worry, I’ll clean it up.”

Now Loki saw crumbs of graham crackers and melted chocolate on the island and smeared on the microwave buttons. When he opened it, he found it on the inside too. Not to mention the fingerprints of the sweet stuff left all over the kitchen.

“How about this, we both clean up, and then we can make the treats together?”

Peter excitedly bobbed his head up and down, and then the two set to work. Loki was busy cleaning the goop of marshmallow from the microwave dish when you came up behind him. Your arms folded around his waist in a hug. 

“It smells good in here,” you remarked, voice still groggy with sleep. “Good morning, love. And Peter you’re here early,” you laughed.

“Yup!”

“And full of energy, too,” you chuckled as he wrapped you in a hug of greeting. 

“I may have had an energy drink right before bed. Again.”

“Hey, if I get s’mores out of it, I think it’s ok every once in a while,” you winked.

“Oh, why you encourage such bad habits, I will never understand, but I too am never opposed to sweets,” Loki joined in on the laughter as you grabbed a piece of paper towel and some Windex to help with the clean-up.  With all three of you working, the kitchen was soon sparkling again. This time Loki used his magic to make a heat source for your snack. Something you were all rather grateful for, not wanting to deal with another mess. 

By the time you’d finished eating, it was already 4 a.m. The god was feeling a bit more awake by now, but was sure you’d all need some sleep before the rest of the hijinks you’d be getting up to the following week. But when he suggested some more shut eye, it seemed Peter had a different idea instead. 

“Snowball fight.” he solemnly said, going over to his duffel bag.

“Pardon?” Loki asked. “Spiderling, there is no snow. How do you propose w-”

“SNOWBALL FIGHT!!!” he shouted again, aiming a home-made marshmallow launcher at the god.

You and Loki squealed in laughter under the assault of the squishy, white projectiles Peter was using as “snowballs.” This was definitely a premeditated attack, but you were both delighted by the turn of events all the same. 

“Come on, we need to take cover,” you shouted over Peter’s war cries, grabbing Loki’s hand and running with him to the living room. You took cover behind the couch. “Alright, now we need a plan.”

“One step ahead of you,” Loki smiled, holding up a couple bags of marshmallows he’d nabbed from the counters.

Your stronghold did little good against someone who could stick to the ceilings, and soon marshmallows were raining from up above. You and Loki began throwing marshmallows at him from either side. The onslaught was enough to get him to come back down to the ground. You kept trying to dodge his fire, but it was too much. 

“Nooooooo,” you fake wailed, clutching your side as you fell to the ground. “I’ve been hit!”

“Darling, no!” Loki cried, dragging you to safety behind a table. You both struggled to keep up the serious facade over your snickers. “You must go on.”  “I cannot, my love. Avenge me.”

“Always, my darling.” He stole a quick kiss before hopping up and using his godly agility to vault over the table to face his faux foe. “Alright, you fiend, let us end this.”

“Gladly. Mwhahaha-” his evil laugh cut off as he fired his canon but nothing came out. He was out of ammo. “Oops. How about a truce?”

“Never!” Loki whooped flinging marshmallows at the boy with impressive speed. 

Peter went manual too, flinging them back at the god win his hands. Eventually, Loki descended upon Peter and tackled him towards the carpeted and pillow-covered ground. You came back from the dead to join the dog pile. Your boys were both laughing so hard they both had tears in their eyes, and soon you dissolved into the same mess of a state.

When you all calmed down, your dog pile turned into more of a cuddle puddle, Peter tiredly pulling down a blanket to have haphazardly strewn on him, finally ready to crash. Loki fixed it around Peter’s shoulders, and the boy cuddled into his side, almost like he would a father or a brother. Loki smiled softly, and your face mirrored his when you noticed how gently he was looking at his young friend. 

“I’m glad Peter came early,” you said, sleep creeping back into the edges of your voice. “This was a lot of fun.”

“It really was. I do not even mind my beauty sleep being interrupted,” he chuckled, arm wrapping around you. You rested your head on his free shoulder. “This was more than worth it.”

“Mhm,” you yawned. “Goodnight again, my love.”

“Goodnight, my darling.”

And so, all three of you drifted off to sleep together, thinking of the mischief you could make tomorrow.

[dollsonmain]

Wore gloves but ended up covered in glue anyway. Itchy. Mildly allergic.

It turned out easier to squoodge the goop and then pick up a pinch of cement powder and mash it on. Wrong color, though. I need orangey play sand. Still looks better than the bright grey caulk did.

That Guy demonstrated the difference between “book smarts” and experience this morning.

I blew his mind when he asked if I was going to “battle the ants” by spraying them with Windex and I said “No. If I leave them alone, they’ll keep showing me their entry points and then I can patch them.”

He straight up Surprised Pikachued at me.

The things he knows make him feel like a big smart guy but have no practical application.

I’m the dumbass that’s keeping his house from falling apart.

How to: Clean your Refrigerator

If your kitchen is spotless, don’t let your fridge spoil it. Use this guide to clean your refrigerator. Image: JadeNinaSarkhel/Twenty20

The new year always offers a fresh start. Why not take this opportunity to knock out a few to-dos that will help you start the new year strong? This is an ideal opportunity to take on those tasks you always say you’ll get to someday. Tasks like taking the time to clean your refrigerator.

Sure, it’s not fun. Yes, it will take time. And yes, you will probably find a long-forgotten condiment growing something you wish you hadn’t seen. But that’s all the more reason to jump on it! Every time you open your sparkling clean fridge, you’ll get a sense of accomplishment. Plus, you’ll likely end up clearing out some space you can use to help yourself on any New Year’s healthy eating resolutions.

So where to start? Here’s a quick checklist you can use to deep clean your refrigerator.

Shutting off power and emptying out the fridge makes your deep clean a lot easier. Image: BondRocketImages/Shutterstock

Step one: disconnect the power

You will need to open your fridge door for quite a while, so there’s no sense wasting energy while you clean. Either unplug your fridge or, if you’re not keen on climbing behind it, turn off power at the fuse box or circuit breaker.

As soon as you disconnect power, open your freezer door so it can begin to defrost. No one likes to have cold hands while they clean!

Step two: transfer food

If you think you’re going to hustle through this project, you can simply take all your food out and put it on the counter. But if you’ve got a larger fridge, know yours is going to need some serious elbow grease or simply don’t want to feel rushed, grab a cooler. Load the highly perishable items like dairy and fresh produce into the cooler with items from your freezer to buy yourself some time.

While you’re at it, take any removable parts – like glass shelves and crisper drawers – out and put them on the counter. Letting them come to room temperature before you start cleaning them can help you avoid cracks.

Would you let people take photos of your open fridge? After this clean, you’ll be setting up your own photoshoot. Image: Andrey_Popov/Shutterstock

Step three: wipe it down

While it might be tempting to grab your Windex and get to scrubbing, don’t. Chemical cleaners shouldn’t come into contact with your food, even indirectly. Instead, choose a food-safe option. You can make a paste of baking soda and water for caked-on grime (like that oddly-colored goop that accumulates under condiments in the door). Use a spray of half vinegar, half water for your general wipedown. A wet towel can be a huge help in grabbing particles from all the tiny nooks and crannies inside your fridge.

Step four: clean the door seals

Have you ever looked inside the flexible seals around the edges of your fridge doors? This is an often-overlooked area, even if you regularly clean your refrigerator, so don’t skip it now! Spray it down with your vinegar solution, then use your wet towel to get inside the folds of the seal.

While you’re at it, check the seal. If your fridge doors aren’t sealing properly, your fridge is working overtime. This shortens the lifespan of your refrigerator and drives up your energy bill, so it’s worth getting fixed.

Don’t just wipe down your fridge’s interior. Clean the removable parts and exterior, too. Image: bezikus/Shutterstock

Step five: clean drawers and shelves

While it’s tempting to throw your shelves and drawers into the dishwasher, they could crack in there. Instead, use the same food-safe solutions you used above to get them sparkling clean. Or, if you’ve got a large enough sink, you can wash them the same way you would any other dishes.

Make sure these items are completely dry before you add them back to your fridge. Otherwise, trapped moisture can breed bacteria, undoing all your hard work.

Step six: clean the exterior

You’re almost done! When you clean your refrigerator, don’t forget to wipe down the outside. Disinfect the door handles, then grab a step stool. Wipe down the top of your fridge to keep your kitchen that much more sanitary. Clean fridge doors with the appropriate solution (e.g. glass cleaner for glass fridge doors, stainless cleaner for stainless doors). Because the food stays inside the fridge, the no-chemical rules don’t apply here.

Voilà! Once you load your food back in, your sparkling refrigerator can become a source of pride. Image:  asbe/Getty Images

Step seven: reload the fridge

Now comes the fun part. Use this opportunity to organize your fridge and you’ll be significantly more likely to keep it clean. Before you put any item back into the fridge, check the expiration date. This is the perfect time to make sure you haven’t been harboring any long-expired products in the depths of your refrigerator.

What tips and trick do you use when you clean your refrigerator? Did any of these help you out? Let us know in the comments.

Shutting off power and emptying out the fridge makes your deep clean a lot easier. Image: BondRocketImages/Shutterstock

Step one: disconnect the power

You will need to open your fridge door for quite a while, so there’s no sense wasting energy while you clean. Either unplug your fridge or, if you’re not keen on climbing behind it, turn off power at the fuse box or circuit breaker.

As soon as you disconnect power, open your freezer door so it can begin to defrost. No one likes to have cold hands while they clean!

Step two: transfer food

If you think you’re going to hustle through this project, you can simply take all your food out and put it on the counter. But if you’ve got a larger fridge, know yours is going to need some serious elbow grease or simply don’t want to feel rushed, grab a cooler. Load the highly perishable items like dairy and fresh produce into the cooler with items from your freezer to buy yourself some time.

While you’re at it, take any removable parts – like glass shelves and crisper drawers – out and put them on the counter. Letting them come to room temperature before you start cleaning them can help you avoid cracks.

Step three: wipe it down

While it might be tempting to grab your Windex and get to scrubbing, don’t. Chemical cleaners shouldn’t come into contact with your food, even indirectly. Instead, choose a food-safe option. You can make a paste of baking soda and water for caked-on grime (like that oddly-colored goop that accumulates under condiments in the door). Use a spray of half vinegar, half water for your general wipedown. A wet towel can be a huge help in grabbing particles from all the tiny nooks and crannies inside your fridge.

Step four: clean the door seals

Have you ever looked inside the flexible seals around the edges of your fridge doors? This is an often-overlooked area, even if you regularly clean your refrigerator, so don’t skip it now! Spray it down with your vinegar solution, then use your wet towel to get inside the folds of the seal.

While you’re at it, check the seal. If your fridge doors aren’t sealing properly, your fridge is working overtime. This shortens the lifespan of your refrigerator and drives up your energy bill, so it’s worth getting fixed.

Step five: clean drawers and shelves

While it’s tempting to throw your shelves and drawers into the dishwasher, they could crack in there. Instead, use the same food-safe solutions you used above to get them sparkling clean. Or, if you’ve got a large enough sink, you can wash them the same way you would any other dishes.

Make sure these items are completely dry before you add them back to your fridge. Otherwise, trapped moisture can breed bacteria, undoing all your hard work.

Step six: clean the exterior

You’re almost done! When you clean your refrigerator, don’t forget to wipe down the outside. Disinfect the door handles, then grab a step stool. Wipe down the top of your fridge to keep your kitchen that much more sanitary. Clean fridge doors with the appropriate solution (e.g. glass cleaner for glass fridge doors, stainless cleaner for stainless doors). Because the food stays inside the fridge, the no-chemical rules don’t apply here.

Voilà! Once you load your food back in, your sparkling refrigerator can become a source of pride. Image:  asbe/Getty Images

Step seven: reload the fridge

Now comes the fun part. Use this opportunity to organize your fridge and you’ll be significantly more likely to keep it clean. Before you put any item back into the fridge, check the expiration date. This is the perfect time to make sure you haven’t been harboring any long-expired products in the depths of your refrigerator.
