"Matt there is no way you've never heard of Fraggle Rock. Like did you even have a childhood--" You had been pacing around the apartment when he interupted you.

"I mean I didn't really. Catholics don't even let you watch Veggie Tales. How was I supposed to know your "Where is my Hairbrush" song was a reference?"

He had caught you singing it more than one morning in a row and finally got the nerves to ask what you were doing. Which ended in a shouting match about the cucumber and a tomato best friend pair.

"This is blasphemous Matthew." You were seething with rage and also laughing so hard you couldn't breathe.

"I'd say the opposite. You're expecting a blind man who was literally raised in the church to have seen various obscure children's TV shows and movies."

"THEY'RE NOT OBSCURE!"

"Okay so what about that show you always talk about, the- the girlscout." He started to do an impression of your impression of the main character before giving up.

"Put some respect on The Mighty B!"

"Was I also supposed to know the entire lore to Gravity Falls?"

"Is that even a question? Yes." You jokingly pushed him, and he pushed back, eventually tackling you to the ground, throwing his body first to protect your fall.

"You're ridiculous, you know that?" His smile couldn't have been bigger.

"And you've never see The Nanny, or Chowder, or Flapjack, or---"

"Well I haven't really seen anything since I was a child so.." He kissed your forehead right between your eyebrows, "I think it's silly you're even asking."

"Well we have to get started right now. We're gonna binge all my favorite childhood shows and you're going to listen and absorb how iconic they were."

"Oh. And what have you decided we're startign with."

"Spongebob. I have no doubt you've experienced memes from the show, so this will be an easy lead in. And then we'll watch Max and Ruby, and then Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends, and then Maggie and the Ferocious Beast. Oh my god, then Zoboomafoo."

"Oh boy, love, are you sure we can watch all of them."

"It't not like you sleep anyways."

"HEY!"

(CW: Swearing) Personal Thoughts

Evenin', just felt like typin' out some personal thoughts regardin' the 4 choices for next week's transformation event, particularly how Daddy would feel 'bout becoming any of 'em.

(IRL NOTE: These aren't my actual thoughts on each character AT ALL, they're just what myself in the Cartoon World thinks of all 4 picks, PLEASE keep that in mind)

(IRL NOTE #2: For the record, I don't actually hate the first character that much, it's the Cartoon World me who really hates her)

================================================

Endive (Chowder):

HELL NO! I hate her! I F*****G DESPISE her!!! I am genuinely APPALLED that anyone could like someone as atrocious as her!!!

I've been meaning to rant about how awful she is for months now, but the Tumblr guidelines keep censoring me, but I do not care anymore!

Sometimes I cannot believe that I enjoy Chowder as much as I do with her in it. Sure, several moments are hilarious, BUT NOT WHEN SHE'S ON THE F*****G SCREEN! I am BAFFLED that she got a good ending by marrying to Schnitzel! NO, she does not deserve that! That bitch deserves to be [TEXT REMOVED FOR BEING TOO VIOLENT] until she dies a HORRIBLE death, and even that wouldn't be enough to satisfy my hatred of her!!! Anyone who votes for her deserves to [TEXT REMOVED FOR BEING TOO VIOLENT]!!!! RATING: -500000000/10 *deep breath* Sorry, where was I?

2. Madame Flurrie (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door):

Now, I haven't played this game yet, but I know quite a lot about it, thanks to reviews online. Having said that, I'm not sure if I'd like to become her either. Based on her name, she's basically a cloud. Kinda sounds weird, doesn't it? However, it's possibly that it might feel different to what I'm imagining. Maybe being Madame Flurrie doesn't feel like being a cloud? Hey, you never know! Rating: 6.5 or 7/10

3. Ms. Flexi, AKA The Flexer Teacher (Mixels):

100% yes, she's absolutely my pick! Now, I've been told that turning into her would involve me becoming a simpler, but much plumper version of her. But of course, I wouldn't mind at all. A design like that is perfect. That teacher is BEAUTIFUL. I will proudly become her with my head held high. This is gonna be the best 21st Birthday ever!!! You all better vote for her OR ELSE!! Rating: 11/10

4. Toriel (Undertale):

I dunno, seems a bit too obvious. Sure, becoming someone like Toriel seems nice, and it helps if transforming into her helps me to learn how to cook better, but still. I'll put her as my 2nd place pick. I wouldn't mind becoming her if she gets the most votes, even though she's a pretty obvious choice. Rating: 8/10

================================================

Alright, y'all! See ya soon!

[danganronpa96]

Do you have a full cast in mind for the hypothetical third Danganronpa fic?

Since these 2 asks are quite similar, I'm gonna answer them together.

In fact, yes I do have a few other characters that I've thought about adding. I don't have enough yet for a full cast, and my ideas keep changing so this isn't set in stone but more or less a bit of fun.

That being said, I'd like to add Miles Morales because of my ongoing Spiderverse obsession. Even though there's a lot of good options, I think he'd be pretty cool to have.

I've also had the idea of JFK (Clone High), Mung Daal (Chowder -- I've been on a bit of a nostalgia trip re-watching that show lol), Kedamono (Popee the Performer, I know he's kind of mute but I can make it work)...

...And this girl named Kokomi Shiina which you probably haven't heard of - she's from an anime (originally a mobile game) called Girlfriend Beta. Yes I know that sounds bad but it's a bit of a nostalgia thing for me as it's one of the first animes I ever watched on this weird old free anime app I downloaded years ago (and is probably gone now). Despite the game being about dating the girls yourself, the anime just makes them so gay for each other so 🤷 love wins.

Otherwise, I was also thinking of maybe adding a character from No Straight Roads (I was leaning towards Eve, but I'm still unsure if any would work in the cast).

But I did have an idea for the mascot/host/Monokuma character... Hello Kitty! But, er, as Monokitty. I mean, she does have an official(?) mono-design, plus I think turning someone so cute and wholesome into a sickly sweet sadist would really spice things up.

[bigsnzstanacct]

Ahhh okay this is very niche BUT, I have a Ch/eck Plea/se scenario on the brain with these two characters Nur/sey and D/ex and maybe I will edit to explain who the characters are but my vision is basically like… they both have the fetish, their mutual friend Chow/der knows about Nur/sey’s but not De/x’s, they’re on a kind of enemies to lovers track in my brain, ANYWAY (putting more under the cut bc then I don’t have to put the dumb slashes in the names, right?

Okay so Dex has like The Biggest Sneezes, so loud, so wet, so desperate and intense, and Nursey is Into Big Sneezes BUT Dex is SUPER shy about the fetish (like one of those can’t say the word sneeze, can barely bless people types) and HATES sneezing because it draws so much attention to himself specifically about the thing he is awkward about. Anyway so like Chowder and Nursey are high and talking about the fetish and Dex overhears and he has All The Feelings like OMG this guy I have the hots for has my same fetish OMG how dare he TALK about it he’s going to EXPOSE US and also wow I wish I was that Free and Open but also WHAT KIND OF SNEEZES DOES HE LIKE DOES HE LIKE MINE I LIKE HIS SO MUCH. And Chowder and Nursey are like “okay okay what about me do I have Hot Sneezes?” “I mean yours are good, but like I can’t see you that way you’re like a) straight and b) basically my brother.” “Okay okay what about… Holster” “omg so hot so loud, excellent” (and Dex is over there like “omg me me I have loud sneezes but wait no I hate having loud sneezes ahh feelings are confusing!”)

Chowder: “okay uhhhh… how about Jack? Did you ever hear Jack sneeze?”

Nursey: “ughhhhh noooo but I want to so BAD that guy is gorgeous I mean no offense to Bitty not tryna steal his man but that ASS goddamn!”

Dex: *feeling identical feelings very intensely and also why is this man strumming my pain with his fingers and singing my life with his words* (he only knows that song bc Nursey yes it’s the Fugees version).

Chowder: “how about… Lardo?”

Nursey: “oh. 100% yes, ten out of ten, her and Shitty both—I have heard Shitty by the way and like… okay hers are lowkey so LOUD especially for how tiny she is and then his aren’t as loud but they’re like… so desperate and he’ll go like five times in a row… lmao I can’t believe I’m telling you this shit you must think I’m SO weird.”

Chowder: “nah dude, like you always say we’re all weirdos. I mean you know about my thing.”

Nursey: “it’s like adorable how pink your ears get when you even mention it hahaha”

Dex: *wondering if Nursey would find his pink ears cute*

Chowder: oh! Oh! What about Dex?

Dex: *stomach drops, rises, roller coasters, heart does a whiz bang flip flop*

Nursey: “ugh… that guy.”

Dex: *heart craters*

Chowder: “Nursey, don’t be that way. I mean doesn’t he do that like… he doesn’t let it out, but isn’t that like a… sexy mystery or something?”

Nursey: “I mean… it would be but he’s such a prude I mean. I could never talk about this with him he’d look at me like I was so disgusting. And besides, I know the mystery… he like… never let’s it out. He ALWAYS stifles. I’ve been his roommate for like months now” (did I mention they were roommates??) “and not. even. once. And like, not even on my kinky shit but like it looks like it hurts him. And I told him it’s his room too he can sneeze but nope. Repressed, like everything else about him. Kinda sad.”

Dex: *emotionally flailing, on life support, smushed, a Kafka-esque insect (and actually he had read Metaphorphosis before he met Nursey ThankYouSoMuch) beneath the boot of Bad Feelings*

Chowder: “maybe he just doesn’t feel comfortable. Still… you are curious aren’t you.”

Nursey: “well I mean… I don’t want to take advantage of him but like… maybe it wasn’t tooooooootally true that there’s noooooo kinky curiosity there…”

Chowder: “I knew it! Called it! You totally wanna know.”

Dex: *emotionally revived, risen from the ashes, also so confused, nearing emotional shutdown, everything is happening at once how do I get out of here without making noise they cannot know I was spying on them like this omg omg omg he’s gonna hate me internal roller coaster noises*

[jackedspicer]

i keep seeing that post going around that talks about how people should stop being overly critical of children’s cartoons and watch breaking bad or something, and as someone with adhd who has always had unconventional interests, ive never liked it but i also find myself agreeing with some of it. i think that some children’s media CAN and SHOULD be analyzed, but not without proper suspension of disbelief

what a lot of people like to do is insert dark and edgy concepts into cartoons (”mass hallucination” is a popular one) because they need it to make “logical sense” to them when that’s... . .  Not what cartoons are about! some cartoons DO explore complex topics like philosophy, mortality, inequality, etc., but they can also be very nonsensical and silly! these can coexist! and content can’t be any less explorable just because it’s for kids - kids are smart! they are capable of understanding these concepts, even if it’s to a different extent compared to an adult. media shouldn’t be a black and white dichotomy of “for kids” and “for adults” because every person has different interests and different needs. adults and children have varying understandings complex topics, and it’s okay for anyone to participate in these discussions.

but the problem arises when adults start monopolizing the space designated for the content and claim it as their own (my little pony is a classic example of this). it’s okay for someone to be deeply invested in children’s media (let’s not forget the adhd and autistic communities) as long as they’re self aware of their place in the audience. something doesn’t HAVE to be dark and edgy and perfectly in line with reality to appeal to adults, and it doesn’t have to be the opposite to appeal to kids. i would argue that it’s therapeutic and even healthy to critically analyze material aimed at younger audiences, so long as you’re not actively finding people to fight with over it and you’re giving children the space they need.

Check Please Headcanons

Hello peoples I am bored and headcanons are just there and I have no one to talk to them about so ya.

1. Chowder is trans (ftm)

explanation: theres one scene during hazing where you see chowder wearing a sweater while the other frogs are not. So yes, this does not specifically mean he's trans but idk he just is in my mind.

2. Farmer is hard of hearing/deaf

explanation: a fic i was reading included this and just it fits I see it

3. Jack uses he/they pronouns (I'm not elaborating)

4. Lardo is genderfluid, usually using they/them but also she/her

explanation: character vibes ig?

5. Chowder ends up in the NHL playing for the sharks, and is the first trans NHL player

6. Chowder and Farmer get married, maybe after an angsty breakup only for them to try and date other people and realize that they're still in love with each other.

7. More about Lardo. biromantic, and on the asexual spectrum

8. Bitty loves the musical Waitress and you cant tell me he wouldn't.

9. Jack and Bitty foster kids, specifically teens who are queer/have been through things no one should have go through as they both want to help other people who have been told either it's not right to be queer or like just so they can help those kids. They end up adopting some of them, but adopting all of them unofficially, and keep in contact with all of them to make sure they're doing ok. They also adopt younger kids/babies from either people who personally know them/their families who do not have the capabilities to care for a kid. They end up adopting at least five kids, most likely more.

10. Bitty eventually opens his own bakery, and when Jack retires from the NHL he helps out, although he is more of a stay-at-home dad.

11. Shitty and Lardo also end up getting married. They never have kids, but do visit the others who have kids and love and spoil their kids endlessly.

12. Farmer and Chowder also adopt kids, however they do not adopt as many. In the end they end up adopting three kids, all biological sibling, who were thrown into the adoption and foster care system when the youngest was a few months old, and the oldest five, and chowder and farmer were the first and only foster home they were in before they adopted them.

13. Farmer and Chowder's kids grow up as cousins to Bitty and Jack's kids.

I think that's it for now.

Convincing Mr. Barnes

Characters:

Bucky Barnes x GF!Reader

Summary:

Instead of going out of town with you, you convinced Bucky to help Sam in restoring their family boat.

Warning:

A little bit of smut

You, Bucky, and Sam were having dinner before the three of you went on separate roads. You and Bucky will be having a little vacation in San Francisco. Scott and Hope invited the three of you actually, however, Sam had a last-minute change of plan. You and Bucky just found out during your dinner that the reason he'll not be joining you and Bucky tomorrow is he has to start restoring their family boat in time for the buyer's request.

You thought that Sam just got lazy and just making up excuses, but after hearing his conversation with Sarah and after Sam discussed the need to sell their family boat, you had an excellent idea.

"Hey," you put your hand on top of Bucky's shoulder, "Why don't we just reschedule this San Francisco trip and let's just help Sam to restore their family boat?" you asked him.

Bucky's head tilted as soon as he heard your idea. He gave you a "what are you talking about" look as he shook his head while looking at you.

You know Bucky is looking forward to this trip with you. It would be his first time going on SFO after a long time, and it would be more special because he's gonna go with you. He planned to eat Clam Chowder and Crab with you along Pier 39, he also wanted to walk along the infamous Golden Gate Bridge, and he also wanted to explore Japantown with you.

And now here you are, postponing all his plans.

You did not mean to do that, you are also looking forward to this trip but you knew that Bucky working with Sam would help both of them work out their partnership even more. They're still struggling in doing missions together, as they are still always arguing and debating over stupid little things at times. So, this is your way of helping both of them work on their relationship and their partnership.

Sam must've seen Bucky's face so he denied and refused your offer, "That'd be awesome, y/n. But I know you and Bucky has some plans and I wouldn't want to intervene," he said.

You looked at Sam, "No, we could just reschedule it for next week anyway. I'll just talk to Scott and Hope about it," you insisted, moving your eyes back to your boyfriend, who is still confused, "Right, love?"

"Ye-yeah, that'll work," he answered, still in an uncertain way.

Sam eventually accepted your offer to help him, and he said the three of you will leave early tomorrow morning.

Your boyfriend gave you a "you have some explaining to do later" look all the time you were having dinner, and all you could give him were a wink and smile.

•••

The moment you and Bucky entered your condo, he walked past you as he removes his leather jacket off of him.

You knew he didn't like what you proposed to Sam during the dinner earlier, that's why he's showing you intentionally how pissed he is. So instead of persuading him to listen to you first, you did the same thing. You walked past him as well, entering the kitchen without giving him any attention. Nothing.

Cold treatment is what he gave you and you did the same thing.

You understand where his annoyance and anger are coming from. You didn't want to postpone your trip to SFO too but you knew how your idea about helping Sam restore their family boat would give benefit in strengthening Bucky and Sam's partnership and friendship as well. And you also thought that gaining a new friend is what Bucky needs to be finally open to you and other people.

You did choose to postpone your trip, not for you but for his benefit.

"Are you really just gonna ignore me?"

You are in the middle of placing your left-overs inside the fridge when he called your attention, asking you a question. You knew he would be the first one to break the attitude battle.

"Oh," you closed the fridge and faces him, "I thought of asking you that same question when we're on our way home," you shook your head as you chuckle sarcastically.

He scoffed, "So I'm the one who needs to explain something now?" he asked you.

From standing on the doorframe, he went inside the kitchen. He stands across from where you are standing, glaring at you.

"I wasn't the one who suddenly postponed our trip. I wasn't the one who came up with a sudden decision without even consulting or even asking me," he crosses his arms in front of his chest. "You could have at least warned me or give me a heads-up," he added.

"Okay," you came forward as you try to begin your explanation, "I get it, you're pissed because I postponed our trip to San Francisco with Scott and Hope. But Bucky, it was for your own good as well," you imposed.

"My own good?" he scoffed, switching both of his hands to his waist, "My own good is to postponed the trip I planned for us? Care to expound your point?" he requested.

"That's what I'm trying to do but you kept on interrupting me," you groaned as your eyes roll at him. You make your way across the island and stand before him, "Buck, I know you are looking forward to our San Francisco trip, and I am too. In fact, I'm well-packed and ready to go already. But," you sighed, grabbing both of his hands, "I know you and Sam still need to work out your working relationship, especially you two are still dealing with the Flag Smashers. I thought it would be a great help for your partnership if the two of you will spend time with each other, nurturing friendship and building a strong partnership," you explained.

Bucky's facial expression changed. He is calmer and he seems to understand why you did what you chose to do.

You walked closer to him, cupping his face, "I know that you have me, you'll always have me, but you also have to welcome other people in your life. Not other girls or women," you joked, giving him a warning look, "But yeah, you should make friends. After all, that's what your doctor advised you, right?" you reminded him.

He exhaled sharply and nodded, "Okay," he said, finally understanding your decision, "I get your point and I think you're right. So okay," he sighed again, "We'll help Sam."

"That's great to hear, Mr. Barnes," you plant a kiss on his lips quickly, "I promise when we get back, I'll make it up to you," you vowed, putting your arms around his neck, "We'll go on a trip, just the two of us and we'll do whatever you want to do."

A smile finally forms on his lips.

"Well, why do we have to wait before you could make it up to me?" he asked, "When we can do it now."

Before you could react, he pulled you up and wrapped your legs around his waist. He carried you from the kitchen up to your bedroom. He tossed you on top of your bed as he closes the door behind him and slowly removing his clothes.

"Is this part of me convincing you that we should replan our trip?" you asked seductively, playing with your buttoned shirt. "Because if it is," you get up to your knees on your bed and crawl at the foot of your bed, "Then let me do the convincing part."

"Oh, yeah?" he asked, taunting you as he undo his pants in front of you, "Can't wait to bury my cock around your tight cunt," he added, sending fire and wetness between your legs.

You've taken him a lot of times already, but making love with him is one of the things you look forward to doing with him. He makes you feel loved even more.

After he pulled down his pants, you pulled him towards the bed and lay him down.

"When I said I'll make it up to you," you kissed him on his lips before you crawl down to his enormous friend down there, "This is what I have in mind," you said before you take him, pleasuring him nonstop that night. And he did not stop making you cum either. You thought you can barely walk the next day after a tiring night with your Bucky Barnes.

In the end, you convinced him. More than convinced to be exact.

Takes time

Summary: Cassandra struggles with her new life

Content warning: Food trauma, trauma in general

Six months. That was how long it had been. Six months, two days and…. Cassandra checked the clock. Two hours. She wasn’t sure why she was so hyper aware of the time passing by the second, but she was and she couldn’t help it. It had been six months, two days, and two hours since she was detained by those big green mutants that she was slowly coming to comfort with. Since they had taken her— before she could even complete the thought, a greater sense beat it away and took hold. They hadn’t taken her, she had gone to their home willingly, and after her whole ordeal of passing out and waking up, she had been the one to choose to stay. They didn't tie her up. They didn't lock her in a room like some of her other enemies might have. It was her choice to stay there, and she still didn't know why. Maybe it was just because they fed her, or maybe because she had nowhere else to go. Yes, that was it! That and nothing more! Why, then, was she still here?

Five months ago, they had returned to her world and she could have left. Four months ago, the turtles from beyond the rift had left for a neighboring lair, not that she couldn’t have easily defeated them if she wanted to! But she didn't. She was still here— in her world, free to leave, but she didn't. She couldn’t.

She had long since lost interest in the movie they were watching; some Jupiter Jim movie or whatever. Now if it had been a Lou Jitsu movie, some distant part of her mind reminded, she would have to focus on it! Then another part of her wondered why, before she remembered that conversation on the rooftop with her masters. She flinched. Cold rushed over her. She never did get to watch Punch Chowder, did she? Her stomach felt like it was doing cartwheels; the fact that it was empty was doing her no favors. Her masters would be so mad she never watched that movie. Her masters would be mad that she never came home. She could only imagine the punishment they would put on her, and the thought only made her more sick. The longer she stayed away from them the worse her punishment would be, but the thought of receiving the punishment made her want to stay away even more. It was a cruel cycle.

“Hey CJ?”

“Hm?” Cassandra Jones looked up and addressed Raphael proper.

The snapper wasn’t quite smiling, but his face was kind nonetheless. He had a pizza slice one hand and a soda in the other.

“Aren’t you gonna eat?”

“Mmm…”

Cassandra looked down at the plate on her lap, the pizza on it having only sat there since the moment she received it, untouched. It was a little cold now, sure, but cold didn't mean inedible. She hadn’t even noticed how the scent of the treat tickled her senses and drew out her hunger like a cartoon character following a steam trail. Her body was practically begging her to eat it, to eat anything.

Cassandra picked a piece of pepperoni off of the pizza and ate it. Her eyes slitted shut as the savory taste overwhelmed her senses with the greatest euphoria. Then she started thinking. How many calories were in a pizza? How many processed ingredients in the melted cheese alone? How unhealthy. You should be ashamed of yourself. You haven’t been training, and now you eat this processed garbage?! You’re unfit for the title kunoichi. She didn't know whose words those were in her head, but she just barely managed to gulp down the pepperoni. She dared a sip of water— at least that was something she could keep down.

“Actually, I’m pretty tired. I— I should get some training in before I go to sleep.”

Raphael frowned. “You trained yesterday; it’s supposed to be a rest day today.”

“Yeah, chill out!” Leonardo leaned further back into his bean bag, legs crossed and one arm folded behind his neck. He held out a soda in his other hand. “Drink a can, go nuts.”

“Do you know how many processed sugars are in that thing?!” Cassandra knew she was being loud, and she hated it. She turned around promptly and stomped out with one final growl of frustration.

Leonardo watched her leave. Then he shrugged, opened the soda with his free hand, and went back to watching the movie. Raphael couldn’t ignore the outburst.

“She’s gonna get herself hurt working so hard.”

“Like you can stop her?” Leonardo challenged.

Raphael almost accepted the challenge with a snarling response, but instead he just deflated.

“I can’t.” He melted back into his seat. “I just hope she’s okay.”

“Give her some time to adjust, Raph. I’m sure she'll be fine.”

“I… I hope you’re right, Leo.”

***

Raphael was worried. He was really worried. Throughout the rest of the movie and well into the night, he could hear Cassandra draining her life and soul into fighting the dummies and obstacles in the training course. Raphael’s room was closest to the dojo— it always was. That way if he ever needed to destress before sleep or if he had an episode, escape was his neighbor. Now it was his nightmare. One hour. Two. How long could a human go before they had to just… drop? Three hours. He started to wonder if he should get his new older brothers to help, or if he should interfere himself. Could he call April? She and Cassandra had gotten close in the months since they’d known each other. Maybe it was easier for Cassandra to connect to a human, to someone who looked like her. If that was the case, then maybe Raphael trying to help her would just make things worse. In simpler terms: Raphael had no idea what to do.

Four hours in and it was finally quiet. Raphael tried to let it rest, tried to tell himself that Cassandra had finally retired to bed, that she was finally resting. Of course, he couldn’t leave it at that. Less than ten minutes of internal debate passed and he had to get up, he had to check. He got to the dojo and scented the air; it smelled heavy of sweat, but also the acrid smell of cleaner. Of course Cassandra had the curtesy to clean everything she had used, and she wasn’t here now. It seemed she had done a little bit of everything.

Raphael followed the scent trail of his friend down the hallway, surely toward her room. He stopped by the kitchen, aglow with a heavenly gold light, and quickly ducked into the shadows. He peeked in just close enough to see inside with the hope of not being seen himself. Cassandra was there, juice and crackers in front of her. She had the appearence of a wet, shaggy dog, her clothes sodden enough for Raphael to believe she might have just dove into the pool had she smelled of chlorine and not sweat.

She looked over, and Raphael was quick to hide. He knew better than to draw any attention to the situation. Crackers weren’t much, but they were calories, and good calories to fill her up. Calories she desperately needed. A small step, but yet so big. She had gone into the kitchen herself, gotten crackers and juice for herself, without waiting for permission that she didn't need. She was learning, healing too maybe. Raphael couldn’t have been more proud.

OMGCP Anniversary Week: Day 1

@omgcpanniversaryweek: day 1 - character

Oh fuck this.

Denice manages to roll out of bed and stagger to the bathroom, fighting the pain in her abdomen and the pain in her lower back the whole way. She does not have time for her body to betray her like this, It’s Tech Week for fuck’s sake.

Right now, the need for a heating pad and some Midol is overwhelming everything, but she knows there’s no way she’s going to make it all the way to the kitchen and back up to the attic.

She doesn’t have classes until her afternoon class in the theater building so at least she doesn’t have to figure out how to function in public yet. Another stab of pain shoots through her as she curls up in bed, trying to figure out how to muster up the energy to move.

Suddenly, she hears Nursey, and his baritone is like the clouds parting.

“That’s a major fine C! If you are gonna fine me and Dex for that, there’s no way I’m not fining you and Cait!”

This one time, she’s thankful for her loud hockey bros. Denice grabs her phone and texts her possible savior.

Denice: you’re still in the Haus? If you’re not on your way out the door can you bring me a warm heating pad (mine is under the sink and just needs like a minute in the microwave) and Midol? I already have a water bottle up here

Cait: absolutely! Have you had anything to eat yet? Never mind Dex made WAY too many eggs I’ll bring you a plate

Literally thank god for Caitlin Farmer.

“Hey Denice, I’m coming in,” comes Cait’s voice a few minutes later as the door opens. Cait’s carrying a tray that has a pill bottle, a plate of steaming eggs and toast, and, the holy grail, Denice’s warming pad.

“Oh thank god, I love you so much.”

“Of course!” Cait says. “Do you want to borrow my plug in one? I left it here last week.”

“That would be amazing,” Denice says as she tucks the heating pad in place and starts to eat. The sooner she gets food in her, the sooner she can take the Midol.

“I’ll go grab it.”

Denice texts Chowder while Cait’s gone.

Ford: your girlfriend is literally perfection

Chowder: SHE IS PERFECT THANK YOU SO MUCH

Denice: Are you absolutely sure you want to be dating her Cuz like I’ll take her off your hands

Chowder: get back witch I’m literally in love with her

Ford: booooo Okay If you’re absolutely sure

Chowder: You helped me pick out the ring???

Ford: 😘 I guess I’ll find my own If I must

Chowder: you must 😘

“Okay here it is, I’ll move your surge protector closer so you don’t have to leave bed if you don’t want to.”

“You’re amazing thanks again, Cait.”

“Got your back.”

“What were they fining you guys for anyway? That’s how I knew you were here, bless Nursey’s stupidly resonant voice for once.”

“Visible hickey,” Cait shrugs as she pauses in the doorway, ready to head back downstairs. “Just one. Not like Nursey can talk, he and Dex had about ten yesterday.”

“That checks out, honestly.”

“See you later, Ford.”

Denice has just finished eating when her phone starts buzzing.

Legends Only

Tango: Why is Farmer threatening me and Whiskey into bringing you dinner tonight? We were already going to? You never remember to eat properly during tech week.

Whiskey: yeah I was about to ask if you had any requests for tonight since it’s my turn to buy

Foxtrot: period started Massive cramps Much pain very wow

Tango: ☹️ noooooo

Whiskey: you need one of us to come back before your first class?

Tango: We absolutely would!

Foxtrot: nah I’m good Cait brought me some stuff I should be mostly human by the time I have to leave for class

Whiskey: 👍

Tango: sounds good! Feel better!

Whiskey: so you’re basically drowning trying not to be a lesbian on main, right?

Foxtrot: shut UP Leave me alone I don’t feel well

Whiskey: :p

Foxtrot: I did text chowder and ask if he was sure he wanted to be dating her

Tango: Didn’t you help him pick out a ring for after graduation?

Foxtrot: yes But god at WHAT COST

Whiskey: haha

Tango: bahahahahahahhaa

Whiskey: get some rest Foxy, see you at dinner

Foxtrot: I was gonna say I don’t know why we’re friends you’re so mean to me But then I remembered you’re bringing me food See y'all later 😘

ABOUT ME

Hachi ✨ 20 ✨ She/Her ✨ 🇵🇭 ✨ INFJ 6w5

Hello, I’m Hachi! I'm a full-time freelance illustrator on Fiverr, and I hopefully plan to branch out in other artistic areas in my life! Expect me to dump all of my artistic interests over here : #hachichiart

I also have a children’s picture e-book that I self-published on Amazon. I made it as a requirement for my high school thesis, so while the art there is definitely a representation of my past, I still stand by the message I was trying to send. I hope to eventually branch out this series in a form of a webcomic of sorts, for people who can’t afford to purchase my e-book for financial reasons. These characters are extremely dear to me, and I can’t wait to expound on them when I have the time lmao. Here’s a tag regarding the series: #behindtheartistichand

Some note-worthy things to mention, this blog is generally 15+, but I do make sure to tag any NSFW content and general triggers out there. I often post and retweet adult animation, so I’d say tread carefully if you’re a minor. I’m also critical with the media I consume, but most of the time, I like to talk about why I like something rather than why I hate it. I just find it more fun to expound on the positives of my favorite things. I also don’t take everything seriously.

Please let me know privately if I did or say anything wrong. Sometimes I say things without meaning to, and I’m not the brightest crayon in the box, so constructive criticism is greatly appreciated. If you take offense with anything I posted, just send a polite DM and explain why it offended you so I can be educated regarding the subject. I’m also available for any questions, DMs and a genuine chit-chat.

beer cheese soup, corn chowder, and bouillabaisse for the soup game ask? have a decent day ahead, eve! :3 - 🔮⛈ (@enchanted-lightning-aes)

thanks for the ask enchant!! i hope you have a decent day too <3

Beer Cheese Soup: A scene from your wip that made you laugh Bitter & Sweet part 2 has a great banter section between the three baristas that makes me grin like a fool and this one is from something that i love that may be introduced someday

“Hello?” June called out nervously. There was a flash of bronze light before an arrogant but excited voice called out, “Your knight in shining armor has arrived!” “And I’m here to make sure your’ knight in shining armor’ doesn’t kill anyone else,” another voice added. A tall figure emerged from the haze. Topaz had a medium build with tufts of their usual bright orange hair liberally coated in grey dust. Their bronze and black eyes reflected the light in the room, not unlike a cat. They wore an open navy waistcoat that was barely visible against their dark skin in the dim light. They pushed their hair back, revealing a patch of bronze scales, similar to many others on other parts of their body, indicating, along with their pointed ears and fangs, their inhuman nature. “What are you talking about?” they protested. “I wouldn’t have done anything like that. Besides, that guard was an accident! His plume tickled my nose! I didn’t mean to incinerate him.” “Ah, yes, and I assume setting the barracks on fire was also accidental?” Circe stepped forward into the light, cutting a surprisingly impressive figure, despite her short stature. “We really need to get your allergies under control.” Topaz whined, “My allergies are the problem here?! How many spells do you have that would fix the amount of pollen in the air? And you’re telling me we’re not going to bring up your magic blast?” Circe batted at Topaz, who rolled their eyes. “You know for a fact that the only reason my magic went off at all was because you snuck up on me in that dark hallway!” “It’s not my fault you’re paranoid,” they grumbled, before kicking a rock. It launched across the room, hitting the ceiling and knocks down a slab of stone, sending June scrambling out of the way with a yelp. “Sorry!” they called before turning to face Circe again. “I’m also sorry you’re such a stick in the mud.” They stuck their tongue out before tilting their head away, pouting childishly.

Corn Chowder: Were any characters created/erased from the wip? a lot of characters are created on a whim, such as fera and her girlfriend, nala, and are added into aus with characters from a new infection, but other than them, no one has been added to a wip!

Bouillabaisse: Which character was hardest to name? victor-hecate. i had a ton of ideas knocking around in my head for them, so it was hard to settle on that

fic writer review

tagged by (one of my absolute favourite authors) @dameferre!

1. how many works do you have on ao3?

94! I am slowly creeping closer to that 100!

2. what’s your total ao3 word count?

360, 929.

3. how many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

technically nine, but only seven for ao3 - check please, avatar the last airbender, miraculous ladybug, haikyuu, yuri on ice, 2gether the series & cherry magic

(more questions + tags under the cut!)

4. what are your top 5 fics by kudos?

A slap to the face. (viktuuri)

Here in Your Arms (nurseydex)

Re-dib-flip (nurseydex)

It's (not) You (nurseydex)

New York at Christmastime (nurseydex)

anyone else miss the days when the check please fandom was active? i mean... i don't miss the racism i had to see every second of my life, but i do miss writing fic for the boys to combat that racism. and not hating canon!dex. i miss that too.

5. do you respond to comments, why or why not?

listen, why did ao3 make it so that author comments count towards the comment total? I always used to think it was cheating by artificially inflating your own comments now and I can't start now because how will i compare my fic if some of them have double comment counts? i know there are comment threads in statistics but consider - i don't care.

anyway i feel bad because i do feel as if more people would engage with me if i did respond but alas. maths brain won't shut up.

6. what’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

the only fic i've written with a sad ending is Goodbye (nurseydex) where Dex confesses to Nursey and gets rejected (rip). It was a prequel to another fic i was writing where they met 5 years after college and managed to get together but i... never wrote the follow up (which i started writing first)

7. do you write crossovers? if so, what’s the craziest one you’ve written?

i write crossovers in that they are inspired by other media but not that characters from both media are present. I have 2 chapters of Checks, Chirps & Cellys (zukki set in the check please universe) up (and yes I am working on chapter three for the anniversary) and I have a Haikyuu x Cherry Magic crossover (kuroken!) ready to go up as soon as I have a free week to post.

8. have you ever received hate on a fic?

yeah so in New York at Christmastime someone told me that it was "abuse" for Nursey's sister to threaten to leave Dex on the side of the road if he was mean to Nursey when the Nurse siblings offered to take Dex home for Christmas since he didn't wanna go to his own family (even though he had been a dick to nursey previously, as per canon). This person left me this comment on CHRISTMAS DAY which makes it better.

also it's not hate but i get a lot of "wow i love this fic which is weird because bi zuko seems so wrong!" which isn't hate but i do take it as hate <3. bi zuko rights but more than that just leave people alone if they ship something you don't. you don't need to tell them you don't ship their ships or disagree with their headcanons.

also also this wasn't on a fic but do y'all remember when the parse stan told me I was drinking the "cool-aid"? Truly my favourite fandom interaction.

9. do you write smut? if so, what kind?

bitch please can you imagine?

10. have you ever had a fic stolen?

lmao who would steal my rubbish

11. have you ever had a fic translated?

i have! Because I love Adrien too (Alya & Adrien) was translated into Russian! I also have two fics that have been podficced! It's Chow Time!! (Chowder-centric) and Adam J. Birkholtz and the case of the missing clothes (links to translations and podfics at the end of the work)

12. have you ever co-written a fic before?

Anne and I worked together on 2gether 4ever (sarawatine).

13. what’s your all-time fave ship?

y'all are picking favourite ships?

14. what’s a fic you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

okay so the 5+1 fic The long way home (zukki) won't get finished. I don't think I'll ever go back but I loved it so much. It was such a fun concept. It was basically sokka and suki being like "okay can we love you know?" and zuko being like "no! you can't! honour!" and sokka and suki being like "okay! how about now?"

i still want to work on Checks, Chirps & Cellys (zukki) and am trying my best to get chapter three chugging along but i think if we're being realistic... its been eleven months since chapter one and i'm only just starting on chapter three. i don't think we're gonna get to the end on this one gang (unless y'all wanna hang around until 2024)

15. what are your writing strengths?

i don't know what i'm doing i just write a bunch of words and sometimes they're good.

16. what are your writing weaknesses?

i don't know what i'm doing i just write a bunch of words and sometimes they're not good.

17. what are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages on a fic?

i think it can be confusing to understand but i do occasionally throw in some better known words into my fic.

18. what was the first fandom you ever wrote for?

if we're counting unpublished, then pirates of the caribbean self-insert when i was ten. the first fandom i actually count is Miraculous Ladybug.

19. what is your favorite fic ever written?

I can't pick a favourite from my own fics so I'm interpreting this as my favourite fic by someone else and it is without a doubt A Mile Away by @dameferre. I remember reading it, a beacon of light in the messy racism that was the nurseydex fandom and just... everything felt right in the world for once.

Fic Questions

tagged by @the-lincyclopedia thank you!! (fun game: watch my writing get progressively less formal as the post continues. by the end it’s like what is capitalization)

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

77!

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

434,378 as of this week but it does go up quite regularly

3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

Okay so in terms of what’s on my AO3, I have Check Please, All For the Game, Sharp Zero, HP, and Miraculous Ladybug. I also have The Forbidden LOTR and PJO Fanfiction (as in, I’ve written it, but it’s never seeing the light of day)

(technically there is a PJO fic out there that has seen the light of day but I orphaned it because I was tired of getting comments asking about when it would be updated)

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

and then i met you (and the whole world changed)

for the better

Knew It Was You

come home (to you, to us)

sin bin schematics

All of these are Check Please and all of them except Knew It Was You are part of my Zimbits Airport AU!

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I do! It’s actually a very recent thing that I’ve started not responding to literally every single comment. Mainly I respond because I love talking about my writing so I am going to seize that opportunity when it comes up

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Oh, DEFINITELY Happy Birthday (HP). Check out that MCD tag ahah. (I say HP but what I really mean is that I write fic about Regulus Black. The Regulus Black-centric tag is my home in the HP fandom)

fun fact: this is a very short fic that I wrote when I was 15 and basically forgot about until recently, and then I reread it recently and went holy shit?? I pulled NO punches????

7. Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the wildest one you’ve written?

Not a ton? I think a lot of the fandoms I write for don’t really mesh that well. That being said, the aforementioned orphaned PJO fic is actually a PJO/ML crossover, so there’s that

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Nope! Sometimes I get comments that are just.... really confusing? And a more common thing is that in my AFTG fic I’ll get comments from people who are so focused on Andreil (or the most common ships in general) to the point that like. they miss the point of what I actually wrote. Those are annoying but they’re not hate, they’re very enthusiastic, they’re just... enthusiastic about a story I’m not writing? So it’s a bit frustrating.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

No sjflskgjhgf I struggle enough to write kissing, I think if I ever tried to write smut my brain would just shut down. I’ve managed some fade-to-blacks (which are mostly in WIPs that haven’t been posted) but they rely HEAVILY on the powers of implication

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of!

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, although I have occasionally made a brief go of it, not to post, more as an exercise for myself in a language that I’m learning. Anyway I never finish them so I’m gonna say no

12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Not really? I’ve definitely group brainstormed fics and then written them (the best example of this being Q&A (AFTG), which was the product of a truly off-the-walls group chat), but I tend to do all the actual writing myself. I think the way I write would drive a co-writer up the wall since it’s very disorganized and I don’t write stuff down because ~I know what’s gonna happen I don’t need notes~ and it would infuriate me if I was co-writing with me lmao, so I won’t inflict that on someone else

13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

I regularly move through ships I’m SUPER focused on, like it’s kind of a rotation. I will forever and always ship Percabeth though.

14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

Okay so if you follow me at @birlwrites you may know this already, but i have this ‘warmups’ document that is just like, random ideas i get that i don’t necessarily want to finish but i just want to try out for a bit? and i have a rule that once a ‘warmup’ is more than 10 pages long (so 11+) then it has to be moved to its own document, just to make scrolling through the warmups doc easier. but usually, a warmup only passes 10 pages when i’m INTO it. so i have a bazillion wips i will probably never finish. i complain about this a lot. i have so many wips. i don’t need more.

here’s one: it’s titled ‘interrobang doesn’t know they’re dating’, it’s basically a full outline for a chowder/tango fic and it would be SO cool if i could ever like. get around to writing it. but i am constantly swamped with writing projects, so it’s probably not gonna happen. if anyone’s interested in adopting it though i’d be down for that!! i think it’s a fun idea i just almost def won’t write it myself

15. What are your writing strengths?

SNAPPY DIALOGUE AND SNARKY INTERNAL MONOLOGUE. my writing is COMEDIC, 90% of my ideas are based on a funny snippet that popped into my head, a lot of my worldbuilding is based on ‘hey you know what would be hilarious’ (whenever i explain how larai selects a chosen one in the rainfall universe i start laughing, which is a STARK contrast to how it plays out on the page), i love writing funny stuff!!

also i think my writing sounds nice, a lot of the time i pick words/syntax based on sound and flow so there’s that too. and i have lots of ideas! i don’t struggle much with writer’s block because a) i have a lot of strategies to deal with it and b) i have a lot of ideas to help get around it/work with it

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

PHYSICAL INTIMACY LMAO, sometimes in my end notes on shippy fics you can see me complaining ‘it took me literally 4 hours to write that very brief kiss’. also sometimes the humor in my writing gets in the way a bit, i have to very consciously put it away so characters can actually have serious, genuine emotions. also i don’t like outlining and i tend not to get betas for fanfiction so like..... i do my best continuity-wise but having really tightly plotted stories is just not my focus lol. (and i do put more effort into that for original stuff, it’s just fic where i kind of go wild)

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

If the reader’s supposed to know what it means, then writing it in another language is iffy for me. (stuff like terms of endearment which come up a lot in fic are fine imo, you can just put a note in to translate them and your reader will prob remember)

If the pov character isn’t supposed to understand it, and it doesn’t matter if the reader understands it, then ig it’s fine? but unless you already speak the other language (and i am NOT confident in my ability to translate english into literally any other language), then i think it’s way easier to just note that a character’s speaking x language and provide tone indicators, body language cues, etc. so the reader understands as much as the pov character.

That being said there are def times when it’s used super effectively--the dialogue in spanish in cemetery boys comes to mind! that’s not fanfic but it’s still creative writing so w/e

so i guess it comes down to: does actually writing out the dialogue in the other language serve a purpose? if it doesn’t, then you’re filling up the screen with words your reader isn’t likely to understand, which i try to avoid doing

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

so the first fandom i actually *wrote* for was PJO, but i distinctly remember creating warrior cats OCs when i was little. i never actually did anything w them but i had them and my favorite was a riverclan warrior named shellstream i remember this VIVIDLY

19. What’s your favorite fic you’ve ever written?

oh boy. okay so this is hard because i feel like i’m continuously improving as a writer. like in the sense that my writing is getting closer and closer to really matching my own taste? my favorites tend to always be my current projects as a result. and i do really love set those ghosts alight (HP) but it feels a little like cheating to say a fic i haven’t even finished writing yet. even though it’s def not cheating, that’s just the direction my brain is taking it.

i’m gonna say and then what? (OMGCP) because i’m super proud of the prose (especially ch 2 aka the first actual prose chapter), survived by (HP) for SUCCESSFULLY WRITING AN EMOTION and making readers cry :), and Q&A (AFTG) because i’m literally the one who wrote it and yet it still makes me wheeze. those are all fics i reread occasionally, because i’m big enough to admit i enjoy rereading my old stuff! (just like. to a point. some of my old stuff i can’t look at anymore because all the mistakes stick out to me like they have spotlights shining directly on them)

this was fun!! i’m gonna do an open tag because i just started my fall semester and brain tired. i know sometimes people see open tags and assume the op didn’t really mean it but I MEAN IT, PLEASE DO THIS AND TAG ME!!!!! YES YOU READING THIS

C.B.H.!

new chowder oc dropped. Youre gonna hate this guy so much

first of all, corned beef hash is a character that my siblings @collectiveazaelas​ & @castingcomets​ and i have collaborated on making. from the bottom of our hearts, we hope you hate him as much as we do

at first glance, corned beef hash serves as a narrative foil to ms rhubarb. his initial conception centered loosely around antagonizing her, but his personality quickly grew beyond that. he is a beast unto himself and others. his only goal is to be self serving and (intentionally) get in the way of others in his life, primarily the other OCs kumquat and pimento, but also canon characters as well. he does this not out of spite or dislike for others, but rather it’s just because he can, and it is often times the fastest route to his goal. he is the freudian id, if the id had a sense of self control and awareness (though he does occasionally blip out on the latter). 

cbh's age isnt exactly clear. he exists in the comically broad adult world that most of marzipan city seems to: anywhere from 25-2500; whos to say? he graduated valedictorian from law school. around this time, he terrorized his dormmate (and future "friend"), pimento (a ram-like man with a few loose screws), to the point of dropping out and going into the culinary field, as "a kitchen during rush hour is still less stressful than sharing a living space with cbh." cbh is at times a petty thief, and at times a criminal mastermind - it depends on his current "schemes" and what is funny at the time. he knows the law to the letter and sometimes uses it to his advantage. though others sometimes think he is a temperamental idiot, most actions are done through thought-out choice and by utilizing his own strengths.

He has a stand in the farmer’s market at which he sells an assortment of mysterious wares and occasionally baked goods that are Evil & Wrong. The quality of his stock ranges anywhere between genuine artifacts to actual garbage from the dumpster, which he will then try to “spruce up” and sell as something more. He’s a hustler no doubt, and he earns his supply through meticulous dumpster-diving, talking down prices at thrift stores, and general vaguely-illegal tomfoolery. At times, he’ll get his hands on elusive items, and how he accomplishes this is seldom explained (he once was arrested and jailed for 12 days because he “accidentally” was selling illegal dognip). He frequently enlists in Kumquat’s help in his various endeavors and typically has her do the dirty work. For example, one of their foraging techniques involves his hooking her onto a fishing line and casting her out to sea; it’s usually just junk, but sometimes she’s clutching a few shiny souvenirs when reeled back in.

He does move the physical location of his stand around a lot, both to “drain fresh pockets” and to avoid growing too known and hated in one area. That being said, he’s been at this for a while, so every vendor at the farmer’s market knows him and is all too familiar with his cycling. The clientele are just unfamiliar enough to fall for his beguilement, though, save for a few skeevy regulars who seek him out for his stuff.

yes he was valedictorian. yes he was a frat boy all throughout college. yes he does beer kegs by pouring the beer directly into his head. yes hes a criminal mastermind. No its not a big deal

being a “bottlehead” (as he calls himself), he doesnt know what sex is (why would he need to?) but he doesnt know that he doesnt know. he loves the culture of it and he’ll hit on anyone. he doesn’t get vocab, but he’s raunchy without hesitation (see quotes section)

he has his eyes on the front of his skull because hes a pursuit predator

his tragic flaw is that he has no flaws. likewise, his lack of complexity is what makes him complex. He has no insecurities. This guy is a black hole. He is everything, but most importantly, he is Nothing.

It’s typical for him to throw around callous, vulgar, and at times offensive references. Case in point: his favorite nicknames for kumquat are Cumsquat and Cumsquirt. Likewise, his nicknames for pimento are Pissmentos, Bimento, Bitchmento, etc.

whenever he does something to boast about, he pounds his chest, turns around, flashes the back of his jacket, and chants C.B.H.! the way a frat boy chants his college's name

he's largely inspired by the way chris fleming characterizes the massachusettsian frat boy. in our minds, he also shares a voice with him.

he feels no shame and he does not hide himself. He may be a bullheaded, grandiose individual, but that doesnt mean he'll withhold his words of affirmation. he'll say something and really mean it - he gives and withholds performances for no one, as he only serves himself.

He devotes no time to introspection. it’s debatable that he might not even know how, but it would be time squandered as there’s not much to introspect On.

it’s a mistake to misinterpret kumquat as his little buddy whom he feels affection for; in his mind, they’re on the same team is all. hes gotta protect his own. It’s as if they’re in the same frathouse. that being said, hes not a good team player. he gets along with kumquat and at times pimento because they’re both socially passive, and the same goes for any relationship he’s ever had. Working with someone of his caliber would guarantee the butting of heads and stalemates on stalemates. A disaster

he’s heavily inspired by 3OH!3

his other inspirations include grunkle stan, brucie kibbutz, and caesar from big top burger, in equal parts

his species is potion

his mother is a lava lamp, his father is a science flask, and he has several siblings, with one of which being a bong named Oregano.

Cannot stand being called Corn
