——————————————————

November 4-7, 2022

You glanced at your watch for what seemed like the third time in the last fifteen minutes. This date with Evan wasn't going how you expected it to—at all.

The night started off extremely well. Evan picked you up outside the apartment after you went up to grab your shoes. He offered to pick you up from the apartment itself, but you declined the offer. You didn't want to make things awkward for him or Joe.

After he picked you up you headed to downtown Cincinnati, where you went to dinner at that brewery Macee and Emma had told you about. The food and beer were delicious and you and Evan were having fun together.

However, something just felt...off.

You and Evan both were a little awkward with each other at first, but once you got to the brewery and started to talk to one another, the awkwardness between the two of you got much better. That all changed once you left the brewery though.

You started to walk through the streets downtown when Evans hand brushed against yours. He went to reach for your hand, but you pulled it away to point at a shop before he could lace his fingers with yours. Then, you tried to reach for his hand as you both walked out of a jewelry store, but you hesitated and felt like you shouldn't grab it.

You and Evan are ending the night with ice cream. Which you think is always a great way to end a date since ice cream is your favorite. You got salted caramel brownie in a waffle bowl and Evan got peanut butter oreo in a waffle bowl. (a/n: those are my two favorite flavors at my local ice cream shop tehe)

The two of you ate your ice cream, enjoying each others company and the calmness of the little parlor, despite the commotion of the crowds outside. As you took a bite of your ice cream, Evan was watching you with a soft smile. He held his free hand out on the table, reaching for yours. You returned the smile and put your hand in his. He wet his lips and took a deep breath.

"Y/n," he smiled and squeezed your hand before he continued, "I want to start off by saying...I think you are an amazing and beautiful woman."

You already can tell where this is going.

He sighed, "But let's be honest. We both know this date isn't going how we thought it would."

You nodded along as he spoke. It's true, this date did not go the way you expected it to.

You pushed your ice cream to the side and gave him your full attention. You grabbed his other hand and squeezed it gently just like he did to yours.

"I know." you smiled softly, "Evan, you are one of the sweetest guys I've met, seriously."

Evan blushed, smiling sheepishly at your words.

"I try," he said with a shrug. Both of you chuckled. You gave him another soft smile before you spoke again.

"But this date seriously didn't go the way we thought it would."

He shook his head, "I-," he hesitated, seeming like he didn't want to complete his thought. He cleared his throat before continuing, "I don't want to upset any body, and tonight just didn't feel right. So, I think it's best if you and I just stay...friends?"

You smiled and nodded, "I think so too."

You’re a little disappointed things didn't work out with Evan. He truly is a great guy and you wish things could have worked out better, but, being with him just doesn't feel right for you. You just felt so guilty throughout the whole date, and you think it's because of that argument you had with Joe. He seemed genuinely sorry when you stopped by the apartment to grab your shoes. You hope he's not upset with you for not saying much to him.

You do forgive Joe. You feel he has every right to be upset with you for going out with his teammate after you swore you wouldn't. Plus, you can’t stay mad at him over some petty argument. It would just make things miserable for both of you, just like it was when you first moved in.

But You and Joe are past that stage of not getting along. You consider him to be somewhat one of your friends now and not just the roommate who you’re stuck with until next August. 

A weight felt like it was lifted off of your shoulders as You and Evan finished up your ice cream without any awkwardness like there was earlier.

Both of you felt happy with the decision the two of you made about your relationship. It's best if you just stay friends.

Evan drove you back to the apartment complex, thanking you for a fun night before you said your goodbyes. You walked up the flight of stairs to your apartment. You glanced at your watch and saw that it was almost midnight, so chances are Joe was probably asleep. You got your key out and tried your best to stay quiet as you unlocked the door and walked into the apartment. Most of the lights were turned off except for the kitchen lights. You took your heels off and walked further into the apartment. The Tv was still on, but the volume was turned down low. You stopped in your tracks when you saw How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days playing on the screen.

That's your favorite movie.

You were a little confused as to why Joe was watching How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, but you didn't think much of it and just assumed it started automatically playing after another movie was finished. You peered over the couch and saw Joe sound asleep, sprawled out with his head laying on his arm that was draped over the side of the couch. There was an assortment of uneaten candy laying on the coffee table—except for the peanut butter cups. Those were completely gone, with one of the wrappers laying on Joes stomach. You smiled softly and picked up the wrapper, careful not to wake him up.

You walked into the kitchen and threw the wrapper away. You decided to grab something to drink from the fridge before you got ready for bed. Upon opening the fridge you found a big brown paper bag in the middle shelf that was full of food. You were curious to see what was in there, so you pulled the bag from the fridge and set it on the counter. As you went to grab one of the boxes from the bag, you felt a piece of paper on top. You pulled the container out, seeing a small piece of note paper with handwriting on it taped to the top. You furrowed your brow in confusion and took the note off, deciding to read it.

Y/n,

I'm sorry about earlier. I was in the wrong and I shouldn't have reacted the way that I did. I want you to be happy, so if being with Evan is what makes you happy, then so be it. I hope you can forgive me...maybe this will make accepting my apology a bit easier ;)

P.S. check the back of this note too.

- Joe

You turned the note around and saw more handwriting.

Movie night? I heard How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is pretty good...

Your heart dropped to your stomach. You were overcome with a feeling of guilt as you read the note.

Joe wasn't having a movie night with Ja'Marr...he was hoping to have a movie night with you as a way to apologize for earlier.

You set the note down on the counter, covering your hand with your mouth as a look of guilt took over your face.

Im such a terrible person. You thought. If I would have just stayed for a few more minutes and didn't go on that date with Evan, I wouldn't feel this guilty. I thought to myself. You pulled the containers out of the bag, feeling even more guilty as you looked at the contents.

Bar food. Your favorite takeout.

Joe bought your favorite takeout for you and you didn't even get to enjoy it with him.

He did all of this for me as a way to apologize and instead I went on a stupid date.

You feel awful.

You let out a heavy sigh and put the boxes back into the bag, careful not to make too much noise. It didn't matter though because as you were putting the bag into the fridge, Joe had walked into the kitchen.

"Hey."

You jumped at the sound of his voice. You shut the fridge and turned around, smiling softly at him.

"Hey Joe."

He rubbed his tired eyes, pulling his hands away and crossing his arms over his muscular chest. He chuckled softly as his lips pulled up into a slight smirk.

"I see you found my apology."

You frowned, guilt written all over your face. You didn't even know where to start.

"Joe, I am so sorry."

"For what?"

"For going on that date. If I would have known you planned all of this, I," you shook your head, "I would have never gone." you said, your voice just above a whisper as you finished speaking.

Joe shook his head, a soft smile on his face as he replied, "Don't worry about it, Y/n. I just wanted to do something nice for you to show how sorry I am. But you already had plans, there's no reason for you to apologize for that."

You frowned, unsure of what to say. Oh the guilt...

"Y/n," Joe said your name softly, causing you to look up at him, "it's not a big deal, okay? I promise."

You pulled your bottom lip into your mouth, chewing on the plump red stained skin as you nodded slowly. You let out a sigh and looked into Joe's soft blue eyes.

"I forgive you, you know?"

He smiled, "Good, I'm glad. Because I was a complete dick and I shouldn't have reacted that way over you and Evan. The two of you seem really happy together."

"About that..." you trailed off, trying to think of what to say. Joe cocked his head to the side slightly, waiting to hear what you had to say.

"I had fun tonight, but he and I decided we're better off as friends."

Joe stood up a bit straighter, his eyes widening slightly, "Oh, really?"

You nodded, "Yeah. Something just didn't feel," you sighed, unsure of what to say, "I don't know. Didn't feel right."

Joe frowned, "I'm sorry."

You shrugged, "It's okay. I'm glad to still have him as a friend." you put your hands on your hips and smirked, deciding to tease Joe, "I bet you're relieved though."

"W-what?" He laughed, a nervous smile making its way onto his face. He was worried Evan said something about that conversation in the group chat from a couple weeks ago.

"That I'm not screwing around with one of your teammates."

He chuckled, "Oh, yeah. I'm so relieved." Both of you laughed.

You looked at the clock on the stove, seeing that it was passed midnight. You let out a yawn and turned back to Joe, seeing him lean against the counter and throw his head back as his eyes were closed.

"I'm sorry again, about tonight." you said quietly, rubbing your arm as you spoke.

Joe opened his eyes and smiled softly, "Y/n, stop apologizing, please. It was nothing. I just wanted to show you how sorry I was for earlier."

You nodded in response. You did appreciate his kind gesture, and you definitely do accept his apology.

Joe yawned and stretched his arms as he said, "Well I'm going to head to bed."

"Me too."

He smiled, "G'night Y/n."

"Night Joe." you said softly as he walked out of the kitchen and to his bedroom. You sighed and looked out into the living room, seeing the Tv was still playing How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. You stepped out of the kitchen and looked down the hall, calling out for Joe before he went into his room for the night. He stopped by his door, turning around and leaning against the frame as he looked at you.

"Maybe tomorrow night we could heat up takeout and watch the movie?"

Joe smiled, "Sounds good to me, sweets." He walked into his room and shut the door behind him.

Your breath hitched at the name. Sweets. That's what Joe has been calling you since the first day you met. You think he started saying it as a way to flirt with you, but of course he's not doing that anymore. The name has just stuck.

You smiled to yourself as you stood alone in the hallway.

Tonight was very bittersweet. You are a little disappointed with how your date with Evan went, but you’re also so glad you and Joe were able to move past the argument you had earlier.

Shortly after Joe went to bed, you did the same. You needed a good nights sleep after the long day you had today.

You don't know how your day will go tomorrow, but you do know at least your night in with Joe tomorrow night will be much more enjoyable than your day was today.

Joe's pov:

*a couple days later*

I pushed Jessica and I into the apartment, her hands going up to my hair and pulling at the loose strands of my dark blonde hair as we made out. I put one of my hands on her ass, gripping it which made her moan.

"Oh Joe," She pulled away and wet her lips as she looked up at me and pleaded desperately, "Please."

I brought her into my bedroom, closing the door behind me and pulling my shirt off with one swift motion. She pulled her black mini skirt off and threw it to the side. She crossed her arms and took off the leopard print crop top she was wearing, leaving her in nothing but a lace thong and strapless bralette. I gently pushed her down onto the bed and began to kiss down her body. Goosebumps appearing on her soft skin as my lips made contact with her collarbone. Her long manicured nails scratched down my back as I bit at her skin.

"Wait," Jessica breathed out. I pulled back from her, looking down at her sprawled out body.

"Let me take care of you..." she whispered sultrily. Suddenly I was flipped onto my back and Jessica was now the one that was trailing kisses along my body. I closed my eyes and sucked in a breath as she kissed along my neck and chest. Her hair tickling my skin as she moved her way down my body. She licked a stripe down my abdomen, swirling her tongue over my belly button before sucking at the skin of my v-line. I opened my eyes and looked down at her, taking in her features.

That Y/h/c hair...

Those pretty Y/e/c eyes...

Those pink lips and that sweet smile...

Oh and those soft hands...

"Oh Y/n." I moaned out blissfully.

Oh god. My eyes widened as I realized what I had just said.

Jessica's movements stopped and she snapped her head up to look at me.

"Who the hell is Y/n?"

Nice going Joe...

"I'm sorry, I-."

Jessica scoffed and stood up from the bed. I stood up too, trying to stop her and explain myself but it was too late. She grabbed her clothes from the floor, quickly putting them on her body and leaving the apartment without saying another word.

I sat down on my bed in disbelief. I cant believe I just did that! Why the hell was I thinking about Y/n!? I rubbed my hands down my face and let out a loud sigh.

To be completely honest...

All I could think about during my date with Jessica was Y/n.

Y/n has been on my mind a lot lately and I truly don't know why. I'll admit, I was a little jealous when she had a little fling going on with Evan. This sounds awful, but I was even a bit happy when she told me that they decided to just be friends.

But I thought it was normal for me to feel like that.

Any guy would be jealous that their roommate who happens to be a girl is going out with one of their best friends, right?

I laid down on my bed and sighed once again. So many thoughts were going through my mind. But they all ended up leading to the same thing, well, person: Y/n.

I truly don't know what it is that I'm feeling about her, and I certainly don't know what to do. Help a guy out here!

Hell, Maybe the guys will be able to help me figure my feelings out...

They'll definitely know how to help, right?

[soaps-mohawk]

It's constantly mentioned that food in the army is shit. Honestly actual British food (AND IM TALKING WHITE WHITE) sounds really... boring 😭

What do you think are the boys' favorite meals? Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner... and of course dessert 😂

Bonus: WHATS YOURS?~

Okay, I will say, as an American of course I am biased towards American foods because that's what I grew up eating and I'm used to. But...there are some British foods that do look really good. I would die to try Yorkshire pudding and some authentic British fish and chips just once. A scone with real clotted cream and jam? Sign me the fuck up.

Anyway lol. I feel like they all enjoy a good Full English breakfast. Of course Soap will be partial to the Full Scottish, but they're fairly similar from what I can see so I feel like he'd suffer through it lmaoo. Definitely porridge guys (just cause that's the best tasting thing in the mess for breakfast lmaoo)

Price I could see as a steak and kidney pudding man. He definitely likes all the "stereotypical British foods" lmaoo.

Simon's a pie and mash man. It looks like an absolute sensory nightmare to me, but he eats it and enjoys it.

Gaz I think likes the classics that take him back to his childhood. Toad in the hole, curry, trifle. Definitely had Beef Wellington every Christmas.

Soap eats haggis just to prove how Scottish he is. Make him a bowl of Scotch Broth and he'll marry you on the spot.

We all know what their favorite dessert is 😏

My favorite food? I love a good hamburger. There's a local place where I live that makes a bacon, pickle, peanut butter sauce burger. It sounds gross but it's so good 😋 my favorite dessert is cheesecake. Especially strawberry cheesecake with real strawberries.

#mm now i want cheesecake #lmaoo this took a lot of research #i know little about british foods except that brits like potatoes with literally everything #and their takeout is...questionable #answered

“Sorry about this,” Eddie said again, pulling out of the parking lot behind their work building.

“Hey, don’t be. It’s something to do, right?” The way Steve was smiling at him was so unbearably kind, Eddie could practically feel his heart beating in his throat. Running errands for his uncle wasn’t how he’d hoped the evening would go, but Steve really didn’t seem to mind.

Really, Eddie could have said anything and Steve would be just as eager to tag along. Steve was trying so hard to act normal and not like he would follow this almost-stranger to the ends of the earth if he’d asked. So far, so good, he thought. But god, his heart was beating so fast he thought it might explode. Hopefully the mundanity of grocery shopping would help him level himself out. They were just hanging out, Steve told himself. That didn’t mean anything. He shouldn’t read too much into Eddie buying him dinner. Maybe the guy was just nice. After all, he was buying all his coworkers coffee every day. Yeah. He was just… Nice.

He felt his phone buzz in his pocket.

Lil Buddy:

did you find out what time your party is?

Yeah, he said it’s at 7. And he’s picking me up, so I might not actually be able to get to your place.

Sorry dude.

hey, don’t worry about it. I already said it was fine, didn’t I?

Yeah, you did. Don’t have too much fun without me, okay?

And don’t get injured, because I won’t be able to drive you to the hospital.

lol

"Who’re you talking to?" Eddie said, glancing over. "Did that say lil buddy?"

Steve laughed, slipping his phone back in his pocket. "The wingman," he explained. "They're doing a party at his place tomorrow, too. Just had to tell him I can't make it."

"Oh! You should've said something, Steve, you don't have to come with me-"

"You asked me first, dude. I see the kid all the time. I can hang out with him whenever."

"Alright, if you're sure."

"Why, you regret inviting me now or something?" Steve laughed, as if that wasn't the actual anxious thought that had been plaguing his brain the whole time.

"No! What? Definitely not. I'm really excited for you to come, seriously," Eddie was smiling, glancing quickly between Steve and the road. "I just… Wanted to make sure you knew you weren't, like, contractually obligated, if, y'know, you have something better to do."

"Trust me when I tell you, this is the something better."

Eddie could feel his face turning bright red. Thank god it was dark. 

Finally they pulled into the grocery store parking lot. It was a bit out of the way, further than Steve normally went to go shopping, so he figured Eddie must live close by.

"It's fine if you wanna just wait here, I won't be long-" Eddie said, parking the van close to the building.

"You're kidding, right?" Steve asked. Eddie just shrugged. "It's just the grocery store, dude, it's not like you're dragging me along to rob a bank or something."

"Suit yourself."

Steve followed Eddie around the small grocery store as Eddie repeatedly checked the text Wayne had eventually sent him with the grocery list. Stuff like paper towels and bread and beer and cereal, normal stuff. It reminded Steve that, oh yeah, he and Robin were out of peanut butter, and god knows how long he’d have to be out, he may as well grab a snack for the road too. Eddie glanced over at him, smiling.

“You can put your stuff in my cart, if you want,” he giggled, watching Steve struggle with the armload of things he ended up accumulating as they meandered through the store.

“Oh! Um, thanks,” Steve stepped up closer to the cart and Eddie helped him set things in the little baby seat to keep them separate. 

“I was gonna wait for you to ask,” Eddie said, still laughing lightly. “But uh… You’re pretty stubborn, aren’t you?”

It was Steve’s turn to laugh, pointedly avoiding making eye contact with Eddie.

“Yeah, I guess. That’s what people have told me, at least.”

“I’d believe it.”

Okay, so the grocery shopping wasn’t really helping as much as Steve had hoped it would. Somehow even the painfully mundane was fun just by virtue of doing it with Eddie. Steve watched as he drummed out beats on the shelves while he searched for the stuff on Wayne’s list and rode the cart down empty aisles.

Eddie knew he was being kinda weird, but it was making Steve smile. He was so aware of Steve looking at him the entire time, and it was making him nervous, and that was the one way he knew how to handle it. It worked like a charm on stage, and it seemed to be doing just fine here, too.

Eventually, with everything paid for and loaded into the back seat of the van, Eddie shot his uncle one last text that they were on their way and to please be wearing people clothes when they got home, and made the quick drive the rest of the way back to his place.

As Eddie pulled into the trailer park, he monitored Steve for any kind of reaction, any sign of surprise that Eddie lived where he lived. But if Steve gave a damn, he didn't show it.

They pulled up in front of Wayne's trailer and Eddie killed the engine as Steve got out and started grabbing bags, helping him unload.

God he was too sweet. Eddie just wanted to-

"So this is the mysterious Steve, huh?" a voice called from the trailer across the way. Steve jumped at the sound of his name. A man they hadn’t noticed until then was smoking on his own porch, dressed only in a bathrobe despite the weather. Eddie huffed.

"Good night, Murray," he yelled back, quickly grabbing the last bags and slamming the van door behind him as Steve made his way up to the porch.

"You didn't say he was-"

"Good NIGHT, Murray!" Eddie yelled louder, cutting him off. Their brief conversation seemed to summon Wayne to the door, fortunately for the boys who both had their arms loaded with groceries.

“You must be Eddie’s uncle,” Steve said, halfheartedly introducing himself as Wayne held the screen door open for the boys to bring the bags into the house.

“You must be Steve,” Wayne answered, looking at Eddie before peeking outside to see Murray giving him a small wave.

“Didn’t realize I was famous around here,” Steve laughed as he quickly found his way to the kitchen and dipped down to set his bags on the floor. Eddie followed in quickly behind him.

“You’re not, I swear,” he said, setting down the bags he’d carried in. “Murray and Wayne just don’t know how to mind their own business,” he spat, staring pointedly at Wayne.

Wayne raised his eyebrows slightly, almost smiling as he sipped from a mug of coffee that seemed to have materialized in his hand out of nowhere. 

"Susan's in on it, too," Wayne muttered, just low enough that Eddie could hear but Steve couldn't. Eddie groaned. It felt childish, grumbling like Wayne was ruining his life or something. He was an adult, damn it, he didn't need the neighborhood Olds speculating on his friends and his love life. 

"You gonna help your boy put groceries away or what?" Wayne asked, gesturing with his coffee to something behind Eddie. He whipped around to find, sure enough, Steve had started putting away anything that went in the fridge.

"He's not my boy," Eddie hissed, grabbing a bag to unload. God he hoped Steve couldn't hear them. He hoped what Nancy had said, about the concussions and the swimmer's ear affecting his hearing, would work in his favor just this once.

"Sure, son." Wayne nodded and turned, presumably making his way back to his recliner and his soap operas. Eddie rolled his eyes and turned his attention to the groceries.

"You have a cat?" Steve asked, excitement bubbling under his words.

"Huh? No?" Eddie turned and looked where Steve was looking. Steve looked at him confused and lightly kicked a bag of cat food leaning against the wall. Eddie started laughing. Steve still looked confused. "Oh! No, it's, um… It's for the uh, resident wildlife. Mostly stray cats, but also, y'know, raccoons and shit. Keeps 'em out of the garbage."

"Huh. Clever," Steve nodded. Eddie knew they did some real white trash shit, not the least of which being feeding the raccoons, and he usually didn't care if people knew. Steve, though… He didn't want to seem any weirder in front of Steve than he was sure he already did. 

He didn't expect Steve to think it was clever.

"Uh, yeah, I guess."

Steve started looking closer at the stuff on the fridge, slightly disappointed that he didn't get to pet a cat. Though, he figured, if he played his cards right he might get to see a raccoon up close. That'd be neat.

There was actually stuff on their fridge door, which was a relatively new concept for Steve. Back home, his parents wouldn't be caught dead doing that sort of thing. Robin got him in on doing communal schedules and grocery lists on a whiteboard on the fridge, and magnetic poetry which he wasn't any good at, but it was a good laugh. But here? Novelty magnets shaped like vegetables and fish held up business cards and take-out menus, a power bill he assumed was already paid because it was from September and the lights were still on.

There was a handful of mismatched number and letter magnets, mostly spread haphazardly around the fridge door except for one group that crookedly read F UCK TH C0P S that made Steve giggle out loud. His favorite thing, though, was all the pictures of Eddie and Wayne.

Some of them were Eddie's school pictures throughout the years. Two looked like they were from a camping trip: one, a silhouette of Wayne fishing off a dock at either sunrise or sunset, Steve couldn't tell. The other was Eddie, sitting on a rock, tuning a guitar by firelight. One picture had a lot of people in it, clearly taken in the middle of the trailer park. Eddie and some boys Steve didn't know seemed to be engaging in a sword fight with lit sparklers. There was an old picture of Wayne from what must have been his college days.

Steve's favorite was, of course, a picture of Eddie. He was small, hair buzzed short, wearing a paper crown that must have said something like Happy Birthday on it. He was smiling big and open-mouthed at the camera, showing off a missing bottom tooth. At the bottom edge of the photo, partially cut off, was a birthday cake with a lit number 8 candle.

"What are you over there smiling at?" Eddie asked, closing a cupboard and coming up behind Steve. Steve tapped the birthday photo. "Oh good lord, just kill me," Eddie grimaced, immediately moving his hand to cover the picture. Steve laughed and swatted his hand away halfheartedly.

"Aw, come on, Eddie. It's cute! My parents never put this kind of shit on the fridge."

"Really?" Eddie recoiled, looking legitimately shocked. "Thought everybody's parents did mushy garbage like this."

"Not everybody. I mean, don't get me wrong, they had pictures of all of us kids framed around the house but we never got to put stuff on the fridge. Mom said it was uh…" Low class. "It looked messy."

"Huh. Weird… You've got siblings?"

"You sound surprised."

"I mean. I dunno, you kinda struck me as a fellow only child."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Steve laughed, crossing his arms to feign indignance.

"Nothing! Swear. How many siblings do you have? Where are you in the order?"

"Uh, Jesus. Six, all older. I'm the baby-"

"Actually that makes more sense," Eddie cut him off.

"-but the next youngest is ten years older than me, so I didn't really grow up with them, per se."

Eddie smacked himself on the forehead.

"THAT'S what it is," he yelled, jokingly stumbling backwards at the force of his own blow. "God, seven of you? I'd never survive. How old are your parents?"

"Oh, don't ask me that, you're gonna make me sound like a terrible son."

Eddie cackled as Steve nervously ran his hands through his hair.

"Nah, that's fine. I don't know how old Wayne is, either."

"I'm thirty!" Wayne yelled indignantly from the other side of the trailer.

"Like fuck you are, old man!" Eddie yelled back, making them all laugh.

Steve felt his phone buzz in his pocket and pulled it out to check. Text from Robin.

"Huh…" Steve huffed, unlocking his phone as another text came in.

"Is that Robin? Did she strike out already?" Eddie chuckled, crossing his arms and leaning back against the kitchen counter. Steve shrugged.

dont know what ur doing but u have an hour to come get anything u need from the house

vix is staying the night n u know what that means

;) ;) ;)

"Oh. That makes more sense," he said, sucking his teeth, slipping his phone back into his pocket without replying. "Um. Do you mind if I crash here tonight?"

Realization dawned on Eddie's face and he cackled, giving one loud clap before he doubled over.

"Go Robin!" he cheered as he caught his breath, wiping stray tears from his eyes. "Yeah, you can stay here."

"Thanks. Could I convince you to drive me back to my place just to grab some stuff? Phone charger, shit like that? Apparently I have an hour." Steve tapped his phone in his pocket. Eddie spun and looked at the microwave clock. 

"Uh, maybe. Wayne!" Eddie shouted, leaning out into the hall, hanging by the door frame. "What time do you work tonight?"

"You've got time!" Wayne yelled back, answering the implicit question. "Just hurry up!"

"Cool, let's hit the road then," Eddie turned and looked at Steve, jerking his head to the side to beckon him along. Steve nodded and followed after him, pulling his phone back out.

Be there in 20! PLEASE be decent when I get there.

Robin's response came as they pulled out of the trailer park.

obviously

wait where r u?

I'm with Eddie.

R U SERIOUS?????

u gonna stay w him tonight? ;)

Oh my god stop. But yes.

never omg

hey unrelated: r we going to the nerds party tomorrow?

You can if you want. Eddie invited me to a different party so I'll be with him.

jfc just fuck him already

Tempting, but he's driving right now.

"The hell- Did you just take a picture of me?" Eddie looked between Steve and the road a few times before settling back on paying attention to where he was going.

"Yeah," Steve laughed. "Told Robs I'm with you, need a picture for proof."

"Gotcha," Eddie said skeptically. 

its dark dingus i can barely see whos in the picture

i assume its eddie

Haha, sorry, yeah.

Eddie snuck glances whenever he could at Steve's phone screen, enough to catch Robin's suggestive comment. Steve was wrapped up in their conversation the whole ride back into town, perfectly silent the entire drive.

"Gonna need you to direct me from here, dude," Eddie said, tapping Steve's shoulder to get his attention once they got back downtown.

"Oh! Duh. Um, keep going straight until you hit that light, then turn left. There'll be a parking lot on the right a few blocks down, just pull in there."

"Aye aye, captain," Eddie said with a little salute that made Steve giggle. He followed Steve directions and pulled into a parking lot that he hoped was the right one.

“Cool. Um, you can come up if you want,” Steve said, halfway out of the van.

“Yeah, uh, as much as Robin’s den of depravity sounds like the event of the year, I think I’ll pass.”

“Probably the smart choice.”

Steve shut the van door and ran across the street, fishing keys out of his pocket. Eddie watched as he unlocked the door to the building, nestled in between a pawn shop and a convenience store. Once Steve was out of sight, Eddie pulled his phone out. In his brief absence, the group chat he was in had blown up, and he had a few missed calls from his friends.

Dustpan: is anybody bringing real food to the party tomorrow?

Garebear: Do you guys not have food in your house?

Microwave: not enough to feed all of us!

Leia: yeah, unless you guys want ramen and cheese its all night, we’re going to need to go shopping

Dustpan: which is why I’m asking

Wildred: I’m off work in an hour, I can pick something up if I need to

JIF: How did I know this would happen?

JIF: I just bought like 6 bags of pizza rolls because I knew this would happen.

JIF: Will you might wanna get chips or something

Microwave: get a veggie tray

Garebear: Jesus Christ Mike what are you, 80?

Garebear: a VEGGIE TRAY??

Wildred: lol I’ll grab some stuff. Other than Mike, does anyone have any requests?

Dustpan: depends, where are you going?

Wildred: … The store.

Dustpan: okay, WHICH store, asshole?

Leia: unrelated, but we’re out of coffee so if you’re going to the store could you grab some?

Wildred: That depends on the requests

Wildred: Yes I’ll get coffee

JIF: That is VERY related as I’m sure we will be drinking your coffee in the morning

Garebear: Tru

G-Man: I can bring chips Will don’t worry about it

Wildred: I’m getting pita chips and hummus and nothing else if you guys don’t tell me what you want

Garebear: Nooooo can you get jalapeno cheetos

JIF: Oh shit, yeah, seconding the cheetos

Wildred: Sure

Dustpan: ANYWAY I asked because I want those bulk plantain chips we get but if you aren’t going there then I’m good.

Wildred: I can get your stupid plantain chips, yes

Microwave: do we have eggos? el just texted me

Leia: WHY are you asking the groupchat that?

Microwave: bc i can hear one of you in the kitchen but i don’t know who it is

Microwave: and i don’t want to yell

Dustpan: it’s me, yes we have eggos.

Wildred: Lucas, do Max or Erica want anything?

Leia: please hold

Leia: max also wants jalapeno cheetos. erica wants pocky or oreos

Dustpan: we have like three different kinds of oreos. don’t buy oreos.

Microwave: we have oreos?? since when??

Dustpan: since like, thanksgiving break dude. if you ate more than dino nuggets and mac n cheese maybe you’d know that.

Microwave: hey. harsh

Microwave: i eat other stuff. i JUST asked for a veggie tray

Dustpan: yeah, because you use vegetables as a vessel for ranch.

Wildred: Eddie, do you want anything?

Microwave: also occasionally cheese, don't be reductive

Dustpan: there is something deeply psychologically wrong with you, you know that?

Wildred: Does anybody know what Eddie’s doing right now? I called him but he didn’t answer

Garebear: He never answers his phone, dude

Dustpan: huh. yeah, he didn’t answer me either.

Garebear: His phone has been on silent the entire time he’s had it

Now, I don't want to make requests cuz i don't want you to feel forced at all, I'd hate to make you feel like that,but I think bee just deserves a good dose of cuddles and praises from yn, he's a sweetheart and he deserves love

(I personally don't like jazz, I love his design but can't stand him for the rest(wich is totally ok you made a great character))

(also have some questions about ratchet but I don't want to spoiler anything so do I send you a private message or ask it here anyway?)

ALSO THAT CHAPTER WAS SO FUCKING GOOD I LOVED IT IT'S ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SO FAR💞

I always put warnings for possible spoilers related to FMOD, so you can always ask any form of question in my inbox, but if you just don't feel like it, anyone and everyone is totally allowed to message me personally!

You're the first person I've heard say they don't like Jazz romantically! Wow! Interesting... Going to get my note pad and have to study you... Hmmmmm....

Also, here lol 🏃‍♀️

I DON'T fucking want it right now!

"SUCK IT UP! You haven't eaten in fucking 5 days, idiot! Give me your arm!"

I said I don't want it!

"AND I SAID SUCK IT UP!"

Arcee and BumbleBee were arguing. It was the first time I had seen them actually fight.

Arcee was trying to give him his needed feeding tube. It was a rather bad week, more so month, of him barely being able to eat anything. He was still muscular, but they were slowly fading, his ribs I had never seen before were morphing around his skin.

Arcee was having me hold his hand, it seeming to be the only thing that was stopping him from getting up and knocking the purple-haired woman's teeth out.

He was anything but happy, obviously he wasn't. I had never heard of the eating disorder ARFID up until I had met him. The more and more I stayed around him, the more problems I realized he had.

His normal food that he would go to was grilled cheese, or even half a jar of peanut butter, but this week, a bad week, seemed to be worse off for him.

He was refusing to put anything in his mouth, and I think not only me, but everyone around him was growing to worry if he was becoming more avoidant towards things he normally found comfort in.

He hadn't touched peanut butter in a solid three weeks because he said one jar tasted old. He found mold on a single slice of cheese and had a rage fit where he had to use a punching bag for three hours. And don't even get me started on the slightly color-faded m&m in his shareable bag...

He was getting worse by the day, and at this point, he refused to go into the same room as Ratchet in fear of him lecturing him.

And so here we are now, Arcee was the one who had to take matters into her own hands because he avoided everyone but her, me, and Jazz.

Do you have ANY idea what the hell is in that?!

"Vitamins, protein, ya' know, THINGS THAT KEEP YOU ALIVE?!"

I don't give a shit. Get it away from me.

"OOO you- I want to- I'm gonna- JUST." She took in an obnoxious breath, closed her eyes, and forced a very awkward smile. "Bee... Honey, sweetheart, darling... If you don't let me put this in your chesssttt," She had a sing-song tone, her face looking crazed. "Then I will be forced to put it in your nose!"

F-A-T FUCKING CHANCE!

"THEN LET ME DO MY THING GODDAMMIT!"

"BumbleBee?" My voice was low, soft, and fearful. His stare down with the absolutely livid female broke instantly, his expression softened and he shot his sight towards me.

He was in a gentle rut. All I needed to do was be sweet with him and he would swoon and melt.

"If you want, um... I can go get something to eat? Maybe some crackers or something?" I asked. "I-It can be like a little dinner date." It was slightly pathetic, I was never flirtatious with him, nor ever outright asked to do something romantic, but he looked like he took the bait.

The pure shock on his face stood for a long while, the three of us dead quiet, eager, desperate for him to answer in any way, shape, or form.

I was embarrassed, probably more than I should be. Me and him were more than just friends, obviously, we had to be. He took my virginity, he flirted with me, hell, he has the title husband for a reason.

He blinked, showing the first sign of movement. He looked down my body for a moment and now rapidly blinked as if shaking himself out of a trace.

Yeah... Yeah that would... He brought a hand to the side of his face, feeling the heat escape his darkening cheeks. Yeah sure. You can... Yeah...

I nodded my head, giving the faintest of appreciated smiles. I let my thumb rub the middle of his bent arm, trying my hardest to not only soothe him, but myself as well.

Arcee scoffed as loudly as she could and smacked a hand to her forehead, shook her head then stormed her way to the kitchen to grab me a box of cheez-its.

"You're doing good... If you need a distraction, I can talk about something. Whatever you need... I'll do my best to help."

My Monthly Favs What’s in my cup:

Every morning I drink iced coffee made from my one & only Nespresso machine. The past few months I can’t get enough of the double espresso blend, and then I add a bit of whole milk (happy cows only) and sweet cream. I can’t find anything better from Starbucks or anywhere else. Sometimes if I’m craving a hot drink, I’ll head to Dutch Bros for a hot Carmelizer and it is totally worth the cringy 9 minute forced convo with the DB crew. I also start my day with electrolytes, currently in the watermelon flavor. It’s surprisingly really delicious but I miss the Electrolyte Synergy blend that I was drinking for a long time, which has been sold out for almost a year now. :’)

What’s on my plate:

Dinner lately has been the laziest in America. After our trip, Drew & I either have the same ole chicken, rice and veggies, a spicy “mexican bowl” or some form of pasta, usually with Raos Arriabatta sauce. This week we’ve been stuffing our faces with Trader Joe’s frozen meals. We promise to be better next month, but we are really exhausted and the last thing we feel like planning are meals. However, for the last week of December we actually have some things planned for the holiday weekend. On Friday, we’re hitting up the town as we do every year to walk around and see the lights, and find festive little bars to try out new Christmas cocktails. We plan to spend Christmas with just the two of us. For Christmas Eve we are making our annual corn beef, cabbage and carrots because apparently we are super Irish (confirmed by 23&me which btw leaked all my genes to hackers). On Christmas we are having tri-tip, garlic & butter brussel sprouts, and mashed potatoes. The Christmas cookies we’re making this year include White Chocolate Cherry Shortbread cookies, Peanut Butter Blossoms, & Holly Leaves. Okay and now that I’ve told you all that, the Christmas cocktails we decided on this year are The Mistletoe Kiss (a vodka, soda water, rosemary & cranberry drank) and Bad Santa White Russians. I also heard that Moon X Pinot Noir from Trader Joes was really good and lately the Redvolution just isn’t doing it for me.  Let me know if you want any of these recipes, ladies. I will make sure to find GF, DF, and V options. 

What’s on my bookshelf:

I’ve finished two of the Colleen Hoover books, and now I’m reading another one of hers called Verity. It’s kinda depressing but that’s kinda the vibe as of late so I’m into it. 

What’s in my playlist:

We love the Sia Christmas album. It’s so fun and happy. Believe it or not, Andy introduced me to it lol. It’s so good!! Other songs I’ve been into are I remember everything by Zach Bryan and Kacey Musgraves. It reminds me of a family member rn which is very depressing to me. Fun to cry to. Bubble - STAYC, Surround Sound - JID 21 Savage, Baby Tate, Adora Hills - Doja Cat. 

What I’m up to:

Making our house into a winter wonderland of lights. Watching hella hallmark movies. Being seriously lazy, not working out or eating healthy. Walks with Snoop around the park. Mandala scratch off nightscapes. Reading at 3am when I was jetlagged. I had a sleep study this month too, no sleep apnea for me, back to mouth taping! It really does help with quality of sleep for me. You should try it! Also magnesium spray on my feet (shout out to Aly). This has helped with my restless leg syndrome that we’ve all experienced. This weekend, we’re making all our foods and cocktails, going downtown, driving around with hot choc to look at lights, and heading up to Rocky Mountain to hike a bunch of mountains. 

Skincare Saviors:

My skin gets so dry in Colorado, its TERRIBLE. And now that I’m saving for a house, I had to break up with my amazing esthetician, who by the way I stole this template from. I’m obsessed with Dermlogica thanks to her. I use a miscellar water if I wore any make-up. If not, I just double clease with my face wash. In the AM I’ll use my Rosehip Triple C+E Firming  Oil, followed by COSRX snail mucin essence, and a magical mix of calm water gel and intensive moisture balance. 

Love you long time,

Li

4, 11, and 13 for the latest fanfic q&a!! I haven't read the many names of one very special clone boy yet but I am SO EXCITED TO START IT AFTER WORK TODAY!!!

-@bibatboy

!!!! I really hope you like it! I haven't had much time to work on the next chapter yet, but I'm gonna get it outlined today. It requires much more homework studying the source material than originally anticipated lol.

Answers in regard to my latest fic Thermogenesis

4. What’s the most challenging part about posting new/updated work? Do you find posting stressful or invigorating? 

Posting is the fun part for me! I love getting to see the fruits of my labors finally pay off. The hard part is getting a fic to the point where I really feel like it's finished. That, and having to pick tags, write A/Ns, etc.

11. What songs best capture the aesthetic of this work? Did you listen to this song while writing?

I don't usually listen to music when I write, at least not as anything other than white noise, but I think Physical by Dua Lipa is a big vibe for this fic.

13. Are there any cut lines/scenes from this work? Why did you cut them?

There aren't lines or scenes I ended up cutting from this, so in leiu of that, I offer you a sample from the next installment in the series.

Their first date had been a rooftop picnic. It was actually supposed to be an outdoor concert at Robinson park, but that had gotten scrapped because, well - it was Gotham. Then they’d rescheduled for a lovely visit to the aquarium, which also got a raincheck because, once again, Gotham.  At that point, Tim figured they’d just have to pencil something in for the next calendar year.  But then Jason - smart, sweet, impatient Jason - had tracked him down on the tail end of patrol, sat him down several stories above 9th St., procured a basket full of breakfast foods and a thermos of fresh coffee, and said into his comm, “If anyone even thinks about interrupting in the next hour, I will personally fill all of your shoes with peanut butter.” They watched the sunrise while exchanging bites of chocolate croissant and it was the best date Tim had ever been on in his life. On their second date, Jason picked Tim up on his motorcycle and drove them to the Gotham History Museum where he let Tim curl a hand around his elbow and regurgitate all the Mesopotamian fun facts he’d learned in his childhood as they strolled through the gallery. It was tied for the best date he had ever been on in his life. And after Jason drove him back to his apartment, he laid a hand soft against Tim’s jaw and pressed a kiss featherlight to his mouth before fleeing the scene. But he couldn’t get his helmet on fast enough to keep Tim from seeing the adorable blush on his cheeks. The third date had been a slightly more traditional dinner and a movie, except instead of a movie it was a drag show on the east end that had Tim laughing until he wheezed, and for dinner Jason led him down the sketchiest alley he’d ever seen in his life (and Tim had seen a lot of sketchy alleys) to a hole-in-the-wall Filipino restaurant where he gorged himself on the best lumpia ever. And when a mugger stepped out of the shadows during their exit, Tim held Jason’s cup of halo-halo while he disarmed the guy. Jason held out the newly acquired knife as a joking gift to Tim. That knife sat in a box in his closet next to the visitor’s map from the museum and his ticket stub from the drag show. Jason walked Tim home after that and - because it was the third date after all - followed him inside and fucked him into the mattress until he saw stars.

Thanks for the ask!! <3 <3

[vaspider]

You get a lot of super heavy asks sometimes. I hope it's ok to ask some lighter questions for fun. I don't know why they're all food based. I think I'm just hungry haha.

Do you prefer jelly, jams, preserves, or marmalades? What's your favorite flavor of them?

I tried boysenberry jam the other day and it was...uh...a flavor for sure.

Do you like chunky or creamy peanut butter (if you eat peanut butter)? If you had to choose between a peanut butter and banana sandwich or a fluffernutter (marshmallow fluff and peanut butter for anyone wondering), which would you pick? PB/banana/honey/chia seeds is a personal favorite. I feel very bougie when I eat that lol.

What's your favorite pizza topping? Do you like NY style, thin crust, sicilian, deep dish, or pan pizza? Have you ever tried cauliflower crust pizza? I feel like we should just leave cauliflower alone before it gets a superiority complex. Also, why cauliflower crust? What about broccoli crust? Carrot crust? Parsnip? Potato? (Ooo not gonna lie, a hashbrown crust breakfast pizza could be delicious. Hashbrown crust, sun dried tomato sauce, sunny side up eggs, arugula, maybe some Canadian bacon, some cheddar cheese...I might be on to something here...).

Do you have a good challah bread recipe? Have you ever used challah to make French toast?

Eggs over easy, scrambled, sunny side up, poached, fried, soft boiled, or hard boiled? If scrambled, do you add milk? (I learned recently IHOP adds, of all things, pancake batter to their eggs to make them light and fluffy).

Favorite type of cheese?

Lastly, iced tea, lemonade, or fruit punch?

It depends on the fruit. Lemon curd is incredible, and a good Concord grape jelly (like real jelly not artificial flavor jelly) is really good. I used to always take the orange marmalade jar from the jams and jellies assortment that one of the car companies sent freelancers on the holidays, too. My favorite, though, is my mom's strawberry jam. I haven't had any in like 4 years, bc we don't live close enough to get any, and that makes me sad.

Again, it depends on the usage. For peanut butter cookies, chunky peanut butter. For sandwiches, creamy by preference, but chunky isn't the end of the world. Peanut butter/banana is pretty good but if I want salty/sweet with bananas, I'd prefer to split a banana in half lengthwise and put garlic hummus on it, then pile clover sprouts on that. It's crunchy/sweet/salty/green. Very nice flavor/texture contrast.

I like white pizza with grilled artichoke hearts and baby bella mushrooms. I used to really love ham and pineapple but for obvious reasons I don't eat that anymore. (I love flavor contrasts.)

I used to love thin crust, and it's my mom's favorite, but that doesn't work as well gluten-free. My favorite pizza type is the type I can eat. Except for Chicago deep dish, it's just not my thing.

Cauliflower crust is just fine. The reason for using cauliflower is that it has a very neutral taste and is low-carb and gluten free, which none of the other choices really are, not all 3. Hash browns actually make a really good pie crust for a gluten-free quiche; I make that every so often for dinner.

I have a couple of very average gluten-free challah recipes, and we usually buy ours from New Cascadia, a local bakery. Emet makes challah French toast out of the leftovers every week.

Over easy, soft or hard boiled, scrambled, sunny side up, poached... I just really like eggs. Buttermilk in scrambled eggs is really good, it gives the flavor a certain something. A little sharpness kind of like cheddar cheese does.

Favorite kind of cheese: the kind in my hand and about to be put in my mouth.

Lemonade. Iced tea just tastes like chewing a teabag after all the good tea has been brewed out of it, and the taste of fruit punch is heavily associated with being given fruit punch with aspartame in it as a child, getting migraines and throwing up, and then being told I'm "Being Dramatic" by adults. It tastes of gaslight, nausea and powerlessness. No thanks.

11/6 - 11/7

It was a good weekend! I was very productive on Saturday, I slept/lounged in bed until 3 pm on Sunday, played with my dog in the park and then rode my horse! I finally took care of my plants and spent time with my leopard gecko before bed. So naturally, I woke up in a very cranky mood and had a tough day at work 😑

Being an adult is such a drag. Sometimes, this shit feels impossible. I actually broke down crying on my horse at the end of the ride for a few minutes because I just felt so. Tired. And I felt like I didn’t know how I could keep doing this. Idk, more after the cut !

tw: ed vent, wiaiad, cal log, restriction, LONGG post lol

11/6

Breakfast: -vegan protein shake, hot cocoa flavor!! — 110 cals

Lunch: -large hot holiday coffee from Dunkin with oat milk, 2 tbsps sugar, and 4 pumps of toasted almond syrup — after reading the whole entire nutrition menu for dunkin + a lot of math, I think this is like 160 cals total; -Hummus toast - 250 cals

Dinner: -5 spears of sautéed asparagus — 50 cals?? (I have no idea if this is accurate lol); -Impossible burger patty — 240 cals; -Mug of vegetable broth — 15 cals

Snacks: -4 pieces of frosted mini wheats — 40 cals; -1 1/2 peppermint sticks — 75 cals; -5 takis — 58 cals

Exercise: Grooming + riding my horse (she was FILTHY so I had to brush her for a long time lol) -537 cals

Total: 461 cals!!!

11/7

Breakfast: -Celsius, dragonfruit lime packet — 10 cals

Lunch: -2 impossible burger patties — 480 cals; -4 sautéed asparagus spears — 31 cals??

Dinner: -1/4 cup white rice — 50 cals; -Two bites of beans w/ sautéed kale and tomatoes — 12 cals??; -Lightly salted rice cake — 35 cals; -1 tbsp plant based ranch dip — 35 cals; -5 grape tomatoes — 15 cals?

Snacks: -2 frosted mini wheats — 20 cals; -Roasted seaweed snacks, sesame — 50 cals; -1 tbsp peanut butter — 90 cals; -1 serving of takis — 150 cals; -1 1/3 double stuf Oreos — 93 cals; -1 serving honey roasted peanuts — 170 cals

Exercise: Walked my dog a bunch, did 100 squats spread out during work, might do some sit-ups + leg raises in bed before sleep :) -62 cals

Total: 1,180 cals

So, not great lol. But still under 1,200 which is what MFP’s recommendation is for me to lose weight, so I’m still losing even with this total! And honestly. Fuck it. I needed those two impossible burger patties. I needed the protein. Idk, between breaking down at the barn yesterday and having a bad day at work, I just needed the extra.

That’s what upset me so bad at the barn… I can’t restrict as much as I see other people on here because I literally have to stay awake & alert to take care of my horse. I HAVE to be “with it” to keep both her and myself safe. It’s a 34 minute drive out to the barn, I HAVE to have the energy to drive back and forth. Even though I did eat before I went out yesterday, it wasn’t enough and I was exhausted and we had an okay ride but she was frustrating me and I was yelling and getting frustrated and then I was upset with myself because it’s not her fault I’m not at 100% :(

Idk, I cried a lot when I got off and she let me cry on her, I groomed her up, gave her some treats, and went home. She was fine. I was fine. I felt better today except for being so damn tired all day! I didn’t go out to the barn tonight; I stayed in and washed my hair and shaved and moisturized, so at least I feel good :)

I need the rest and I need the extra energy. I don’t feel great about eating + snacking so much today but I’m okay with it, plus I did really well over the weekend, so. I think for the rest of the week I’m going to taper down my cals and try another fast over the weekend. <3

Now I’m going to read and go to bed :) If you read this whole entire post you are my bestie now. Sorry. Shouldn’t have read this all 🤣

Hey

Hey tumblr

Guess what i’ve done recently

I have been! Improving!

I got out of bed today for more than food and using the bathroom.

I also have been brushing my teeth more than once a day again, I took a shower yesterday, and I ate 3 meals today! All of each of the meals too! I played the video game I had been avoiding for a while for no reason other than i was too tired to want to open it. (Crk actually) I drank 6 cups of water today! Six! When it got dark, I turned on a light instead of just ignoring it lol.

I emptied my dishwasher, which was full of clean dishes. I also put my clean laundry away within the last week or so! I’ve been consistently taking my dirty dishes to wash them, and i put a trashcan in my room so that id stop collecting random trash because i have nowhere to put it. Yesterday I ate an actual dinner meal that was not peanut butter and jelly or breakfast related! (cereal. I mean cereal. I eat so much cereal its a problem) I mean there was still half of a pb&j but eh. I finished my entire dinner last night and today too, even if it took a few hours.

I found my fancy hand sanitizer! I finally checked my ao3 notifs, which i dont actually know why i was avoiding because they always make me happy? I went to watch shows with my dad, i cleaned my cats litterbox with significantly less mental pain than usual, I finally agreed to play minecraft with my younger sibling. (they really love that game) I practiced my piano! Last time it rained i just ignored it, but today i sat by my open window and turned on my candle again!

I know for a lot of people, most of these things would be easy to do, but they’ve been pretty hard for me lately. I’ll take the win where I can get it!

Hello you mrs. banana basil burgundy bread lefty eyebag 😅

I do know the song! Actually I just know the part where they yell shots shots shots shots 🤣 I yell that whenever I am out with friends and we go drink.

Ooh I see. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for you!

The cinnamon raisin bagel is really good, but I don't think there's enough raisins in it. There's also a cinnamon swirl bagel, and instead of cream cheese, I put apple butter. It is so good.

I must've read it wrong then when we were talking about cookies and milk lol but saltine crackers in oatmeal? That's interesting! Have you tried peanut butter, honey and milk in oatmeal before?

So cake donuts are not as fluffy as a regular donut... I don't know how to explain it properly. It's thicker, and has a cakey texture. If you ever saw old fashioned donuts, it's like that but the cake donuts are a bit sweeter than the old fashioned.

I have not had mochi donuts before..I've seen it on videos and always wanted to try it. But I don't think we have a place here that sells it.

I think the number for my eyes are -14 on both.. I honestly don't remember, last time I went to get my eyes checked was 4 years ago 😅 so I guess this is a sign to get new ones. But no, I don't have an extra pair. And it's bad, I can only see up close, everything else is blurry. How about you?

Haha and no I am not a writer. If I ever write, it's going to suck because of punctuation and speech. My train of thought also goes to different places so I can't write one idea and stick to it. I guess I should have said that I just create scenarios in my mind...?

Okay, so when you write the stories with the stuff (lol sorry I feel awkward now) is it something that you wish would happen to you?

-CuriousGeorge

hello hello you carbs lovers lil' jon shots yeller righty eyebag! lol

banana? where did that come from? have we talk about banana before?

also when i read the words banana, i instantly read it with minions voice. u know, how they screams "BANANAAAAAAAA!" lol

yeah i hope tomorrow is a better day. i forgot to tell u that i dropped my phone in the water. :( so i try not to charge it n the battery's out. im gonna wait until tomorrow to make sure the charging port is not wet anymore.

hmm that sounds really good. i never try apple butter before but i like apple. i love honey butter especially if u put it on a fresh baked sweet dinner rolls. omggg.hahahaa

yeah, it tastes pretty good. it's creamy, sweet and a little salty at the same time. i love it when the crackers start to get a little soggy from the oatmeal. no, i havent try the peanut butter, honey and milk in oatmeal, sounds really good though.

ah i see. next time if i see a cake donut at the donut store, i will try it. n i hope u can try the mochi donut someday. :)

oh wow, that's pretty bad. -14?? mine is almost -4 n it's already hard for me to see. i'm sorry. i hope u can get ur glasses soon. :( so u can't see far, right? I can't see far but i think lately it's hard for me to see near too, i guess i'm getting old.

now i imagine how am i gonna be when i'm really old. i'll be that short asian grandma with white hair thick glasses and with my ear condition, i would probably wear hearing aids. lol

I think i haven't told u before, I have a mild hearing loss (35% on my left and 27 % on my right) due to rare condition that happen to my ears. i have otosclerosis. so it's like arthritis to my ears's bones that deliver sounds. so the bones is kinda broken n in 5-10 years it will get worse, the only solution is to do a surgery. So yeah, in mild hearing loss, i can't hear whispers well, i can't hear words well when there is noisy background. n because it's mild hearing loss, i dont need hearing aid yet. I just have to tell people that i have mild hearing loss and they might have to repeat themselves for me to hear them.

ah i see. that's awesome. do u sometimes write or make a note on the scenarios u make in ur mind? well, if u have idea or request that u want me to write, just let me know :)

or maybe u should try to write a bit by a bit n slowly. u never know until u try, who knows, maybe u can actually write. :)

hahaha dont be awkward. i'm open to any questions. hmmm when i write smut, R is always a dominant top because i read that mostly writers write R as a bottom.

well, i thought that what I write in smut such as how R is a dominant top just because i wanna write something different but a good friend of mine who knows me pretty well, she always said that i'm such a submissive bottom. so i kinda respond to her "not really. i always write dominant top R." and her answer to that kinda make me realized. she said "i know, but u write it like that because that's what u hope a top does to u." and after that i was speechless. lol. n got me thinking. "oh well, okay. i guess even though i dont mind being a top in real life, i gues she's right. I'm a sub bottom n what i write in smut are things that i wish that it happen to me." lol. sorry if it's too much information. i just don't know how else to answer ur question. but i hope it answers it. :D

next question? feel free to ask me anything.

Cheerio!

Haikyuu!! Boys and whether or not they’re picky eaters

Characters: Akaashi, Washio, Konoha, Kita, Suna, Ushijima, Yahaba, Iwaizumi, Futakuchi, Daishou, Numai and Iizuna

Warnings: Mentions of being beat in Futakuchi’s but it’s not abuse or anything like that, choking on food in Daishou’s

**I am a very picky eater, so I tried to be as unbiased as possible in this one!!**

Akaashi Keiji: A little

It’s not super obvious, he eats a fairly broad range of foods.

He has fruits, vegetables, meats, etc. That he likes, so the amount of things he doesn’t like gets overlooked.

He isn’t super vocal about it either, he just subtly doesn’t eat the things he doesn’t like.

He strikes me as someone who doesn’t like raw vegetables, like raw broccoli or cauliflower. 

He likes them cooked, just not raw.

Washio Tatsuki: Not really

Doesn’t really have foods he doesn’t like.

He can find something he likes pretty much anywhere, his palate is pretty diverse.

The only food he really doesn’t like jello.

Part of it is the texture, the other part is it’s just too sweet.

But other than that, he doesn’t really dislike many things.

That’s not to say he’ll eat anything, he’s pretty open minded when it comes to food, but he has his limits.

So ‘weird’ things are off the table for him.

Konoha Akinori: Y E S

Getting him to eat anything green is near impossible.

His family constantly brings up how hard it was to feed him as a child.

Like, the only vegetables he would willingly eat were green beans and carrots.

Everything else was a big fat no.

And to be honest, it really didn’t change as he got older.

LOVES junk food and anything sweet or unhealthy, but if it’s labeled ‘healthy’ or ‘organic’ he won’t touch it.

Unbeknownst to him, his mom’s been feeding him the burgers with the veggies mixed in for years lol.

Kita Shinsuke: No

Granny didn’t raise no picky eater.

I wouldn’t say he was forced to eat certain foods.

But there was no negotiating going on.

As he grew older, it just made sense for him to eat balanced and healthy meals, since diet is key to good health.

I just can’t imagine him being super picky when it comes to foods anyways.

But the one thing he absolutely hates is radishes.

Doesn’t know what it is, but he’s never liked them and he never will.

Suna Rintaro: Yes and No

Will eat anything and everything put in front of him.

Except for certain things.

Like, he’ll eat all beans except Lima beans.

Or he’ll eat all fish except salmon.

You get what I mean?

He’s not considered picky because he does eat a large variety of things, and most things.

But the things he doesn’t like he absolutely will not touch. There’s no ‘trying it just in case’ if he didn’t like it before, he will never like it.

Ushijima Wakatoshi: Nope

Will eat anything and everything put in front of him.

Doesn’t so much as question it.

Like Kita, he’s mindful of his nutrition and diet so he eats pretty healthy.

But he seems like someone who likes pretty much everything.

Sure he has his preferences and things he’s not a fan of.

But he can’t really think of anything he despises.

Most often if he doesn’t like something prepared one way, he’ll like it prepared another way. Like Akaashi with the raw/cooked vegetables.

Yahaba Shigeru: No

He seems like someone raised in a stricter household, or at least it was strict when they were kids.

His parents rule for the dinner table was ‘you don’t leave until you’ve finished your food’ so he learned not to be too picky of an eater after that.

He seems like someone who likes to cook and try new things, so he’s pretty open minded and experimental to new things!

Will try the ‘weird’ foods because he’s genuinely curious, even if they seem inedible.

Iwaizumi Hajime: n o

Like Ushijima, he’ll eat anything and everything put in front of him.

But I do think for personal reasons, he doesn’t like carrots.

When he was a baby he ate so many carrots his nose turned orange, and after that he wouldn’t so much as touch them.

Also isn’t a big fan of nuts, like peanuts, almonds, those type of things.

He likes peanut butter, but not peanuts.

Futakuchi Kenji: YES

Has a good 20 foods he will for sure eat and most of them come out of a box.

I mean, his favorite food is sour gummies.

I think that speaks for itself.

The only vegetable he really does like is tomatoes.

Everything else elicits an ‘over my dead body’ response from him.

Has just about daily battles with his mom over food.

Her trying to not to beat her teenage son, and him trying not to have to eat his peas.

His mom fed him the veggie-infused burgers until he figured it out.

Daishou Suguru: No. He just doesn’t eat certain things.

Isn’t picky, he holds grudges.

If he and a food ever had a bad experience, he will never, and I do mean never ingest it again.

He choked on a jelly bean when he was like 8 so he never touched one again.

Or if he ever found a worm in an apple, he’d only eat cut up fruit.

Also seems like someone who doesn’t like slimy things, like snails or jelly sticks.

Numai Kazuma: Nope

If it’s edible, he’ll eat it. 

He’s really not picky when it comes to food, just so long as it tastes good.

Food wise, he’s the perfect guy to bring home cause no matter what your mom makes or how good/bad it is, he will eat it with a smile on his face and give good compliments.

The type to order something from a restaurant and make 0 changes.

Absolutely none.

Will also eat anything off your plate that you don’t like, so if you’re a picky eater, he’ll be happy to take what you don’t want~

Iizuna Tsukasa: Yes...?

Has a lot of foods he doesn’t like, but it’s only because he is extremely susceptible to textures.

Doesn’t like fish, well he likes some fish, just not most fish.

He tries to avoid anything with a squishy or mushy texture.

Like, when fruit gets a little past ideal eating, but it’s still perfectly edible, he can’t eat it cause it just feels so...mushy.

Has no problem with most vegetables, fruits, meats, most foods actually.

But he is relentlessly picked on by his sisters for the things he doesn’t like, since they seem like normal things, and his reasons for not liking them are weird.

[prinxlyart]

Would you be interested in providing any Willumity headcanons you have?

Y’all are after my heart I stg

Luz:

CONSTANTLY needs to be touching at least one of them if at all possible; she loves holding their hands and playing with their fingers, linking arms, arms over shoulders, even just pressed up against each other so their arms are touching, she just NEEDS that contact. She gets antsy if they’re nearby and she can’t be by their sides.

Likes to nuzzle her face into her girlfriends’ necks and just sort of live there when she gets the chance to be extra clingy. She likes the feeling of being completely surrounded by her girlfriend’s presence.

Sleep schedule?? With ADHD ??? Not likely. She’ll be up at odd hours with the need to do something and will often times find herself thinking of ideas she can make her girls happy. She’ll either jot down ideas or just mindlessly sketch and think about “oh, I think Willow said something about wanting to grow human pumpkins, I should get a packet of seeds next time I visit Mamí” and “Amity mentioned off-hand at dinner how tired she was lately, I should treat her to a spa day this weekend.....that might be costly, maybe I can set it up from home??" And then she’ll get so caught up in researching different things that suddenly the sun is up and she’s only had like 3 hours of restless sleep but she’s excited regardless because she’s got plans to make her girls happy that she’s eager to get started on.

Sometimes she’ll just be so happy when she’s with her girls she’ll just start crying. Willow and Amity would of course be immediately alarmed but Luz reassures them they’re happy tears because she loves them so much. Willow and Amity always cover her in kisses after she’s done crying

Amity:

For the first few weeks of dating (either one or both of them) she is a complete mess. She goes through a LOT of internal doubt that she doesn’t make known that drives her crazy. Luz and Willow are always patient and understanding and just kiss the space between her eyebrows whenever they catch her frowning and having one of her inner spirals. Amity eventually breaks down and confesses her fear that she doesn’t deserve them. She’s never had something so good in her life and good things have been taken from her before under the pretense of “only good girls get nice things” (thanks Mr and Mrs blight for ruining a perfectly good child. Look at her. She’s got anxiety). She’s scared they’ll realize one day just how horrible she is based on her actions in the past and they’ll leave her (in Willow’s case, again). After Luz and Willow THOROUGHLY reassure her that they’re not going anywhere, she just ends up being clingy whenever those fears creep back up. Whenever those fears DO crop back up, she has the tendency to approach either one of her girls and just rest her forehead against them silently, internally reminding herself that nothing is taking them away from her. Luz and Willow pick up on this behavior and whenever it happens, they drop what they’re doing (if they can) and just smother Amity in love until she feels better.

She has a hard time doing eye contact for a variety of reasons, but as a result she likes giving them hugs and kisses from behind. She really enjoys being able to wrap her arms around their waists and just plop her chin on their shoulders and see what they’re doing.

Very easily jealous (related to the fear of losing them). Depending on whether or not she knows the person, she’ll glare daggers at anyone she sees trying to hit on either of her girls. One time she caught someone making Luz visibly uncomfortable from across the room, stomped over angrily, and just pulled Luz into a searing kiss that she almost dipped her into because she was kissing her so hard. She definitely left Luz breathless and giddy and the look she gave the other person made them nearly shit their pants. She watched v smugly as the other person walks away looking sheepish and terrified. She considers it one of her proudest moments.

She adores helping her girls with whatever they need. No matter how little, she always offers either her help or solutions. These usually result in a hug or a kiss as thanks that she quietly cherishes.

Willow:

I think Willow is just in shock for a while when she first begins her relationship with Luz and Amity. For so much of her time growing up she’s been alone, or nearly alone, and heartbroken since Amity first ended their friendship as kids. It’s taken a lot for her to be able to bring her walls down; she’s spent years building them to keep the bullies at bay. While she loves her girls, it’s hard for her to accept that love in return. Not that she thinks she doesn’t deserve it, she just genuinely doesn’t know how to process being on the receiving end of so much love. For the first few weeks (months maybe?) of their relationship she just doesn’t know how tor respond to Luz’s spontaneous shows of affection or Amity sometimes coming up from behind and just hugging her to hug her. Her face essentially becomes a loading wheel because she doesn’t know how to process the affection.

Once she gets into the groove of being in a relationship, she finds herself easily reciprocating the displays of affection her girls give her; cheek kisses, forehead kisses, nose kisses, hugs of all varieties. She likes being able to magically conjure their favorite flowers for special occasions, but for regular days she actually likes to get them little snacks she knows they enjoy. Luz likes stuff with peanut butter and Amity likes fruit-based sweets (strawberry [or boiling isles equivalent] being her favorite). If she ever finds she has the time, she’ll try to make the treats herself, but she often just gets them from a bakery or sweets shop in town.

She loves when her girls get cuddly. There’s something about having their weight around her that brings her a sense of peace and comfort. It’s also nice to feel wanted when they get clingy.

She’s never been particularly bothered by her weight, but on rare occasion she’ll feel upset by her tummy rolls or how much fat she has on her arms despite her workouts. On those days, Luz and Amity get EXTRA clingy, especially in regards to whatever body part Willow is self conscious about at the time. Arms? They link arms with her for as much of the day as they can and squeeze her arms and whisper to her how impressed they are with how strong she is but how soft her hugs are. Tummy? Lots of hugs where they can whisper to her how huggable she is. By the end of the day, any self-consciousness is thoroughly banished and she’s reduced to a blushing mess.

She loves being able to just. Lift her girlfriends at any given moment. They’re both beanpoles and she works with giant dangerous plants every day. Lifting her girls is a piece of cake. She especially enjoys watching them turn into bright red flustered messes whenever she does this. She also enjoys when she sets them down and can feel how warm their faces are when she kisses them. It’s a secret source of pride in her heart.

She’s not inherently clingy like her girlfriends are, but she immediately adapts to their language of touch. She learns what sort of touches mean what: when Amity has her forehead on her Willow knows she’s having a bad day. Whenever Luz just sort of flops into her lap, she’s either very tired or upset about something and Willow knows to just start running her fingers through her hair. She knows that Luz kisses her temple when she expresses gratitude. She knows Amity has difficulty with eye contact and learns what kind of mood Amity is in by the way she holds her hand. She becomes fluent in touch as an unspoken language between her girls.

I could go on for days but this is already a lot lol. This was a lot of fun though!

THE MEGA NICHIASA SHITPOSTING REPORT

NOW WITH THAT GREAT 2 WEEK LATE TASTE

Tropical Rouge, Culture Festival! Everyone Together, Let's Put Make-Up On Aozora!: The Tropical girls are getting ready for the best time of the year: The cultural festival. And in true Tropical Fashion, the girls decided to hold make-up classes for all visitors. But while planning just the right make-up to teach the novice children and grown adults, Laura gets suspicious that Minori is looking over to her ex, the Literature Club. I mean, when you up and disappear into the library, it's kinda hard to not think that you're looking for an escape route. But it's fine because they totally have enough people to help with the make-up classes. As long as Minori stays in the clubhouse.

That being said, distancing yourself from the rest of the group isn't very cool, Minori. Now you have a suspicious smug fish being all suspicious. And being a detective. And asking questions. A lot of questions. And she would ask even more questions if Manatsuu and the Smug Fish Laura's homeroom booth wasn't short-staffed because the kids with that shift decided to get an early head start on getting their Yaruki power stolen.

Meanwhile, the Lazy Trio has clocked into work, and Chongiri drew the short straw today. Guys, he just wants to cook. He wasn't trained for this. And he certainly wasn't trained for being kidnaped by a bunch of martial artists to run their grilled squid booth. Even if it's the most fun that he's had. At least right up until the point where he remembered he was still on the clock. At least everyone is busy.

I mean, really busy: Sango is still teaching people how to put on lipstick properly, and Asuka is trying to make sure no one cuts the line. The only one who the Broadcast Club could interview for the Tropical Club was Minori. Who turns out to be a secret master of the make-up arts.

The lesson the monster should have taken away was don't touch books. Books are supposed to bring people joy. I feel like I've heard that before. It also turns out that the reason Minori left the Literature Club is because her sempai quite literally read The Great Book and that story was already written, and therefore boring and too familiar and unoriginal. Again, I feel like I've heard this before. But that's okay because Minori's stronger with the Sword of Logos Tropical Club.

Reviving A Legend! The Pretty Cure's Power-Up Makeover!: After getting the results of a contest that the girls were not aware they were part of, The Tropical Club finds out that they came in second in the "hey, this booth is pretty cool" contest. Everyone is so excited that even Kururun even has to say something in front of the School newspaper. In other news, the girls suddenly develop a love of ventriloquism. Before telling Kururun to do their best impersonation of a statue.

Elsewhere, the Witch is waking up from a nightmare when her ex-girlfriend up and left her. If only her ex just didn't have the energy to leave... she probably should have given her ex's money back. But on the plus side, the Butler finally does something! He heads to the nearest watering hole and figures out a way to make polymer slime. While that is going on, Manatsuu and Laura are having a loving conversation over who is the most Tropicool.

After a nice long conversation, Manatsuu and Laura head to sleep, where Manatsuu meets the legendary Precure in a trippy and glowy dream aquarium. Manatsuu probably shouldn't overeat at dinner. Especially when she nearly drowns in her own dream.

But in the morning, the Girls start heading to school, only to have the Butler's slime experiments come up from the depths of the town's canals. So the girls transform and try to find the source of the Yaruki power, only to have the Aqua mirror 404 error on Cure La Mer. But while trying to find the source of the Yaraneda power, Cure Summer learns that Kururun is a good listener and has not moved since the beginning of the episode.

Meanwhile, the villains really still have no idea what their actual job description is. They're now working to form a union because they don't even know why they have to do all of this extra work. They're just a maid, doctor, and cook respectfully. They have also decided that union dues are due at the end of the month. Nuremi will collect.

Elsewhere, Cure Summer has picked up one (1) Kururun but ends up having to sacrifice herself to save the good sealo. And while Summer is now being farmed for Yaraneda power, Kururun becomes the new Cure Summer. All Hail Cure Kururun. Only to get hit with friendly fire via Cure Papaya's eye lasers. RIP Cure Kururun.

But with the power of Friendship (TM) and a new Mirror (buy our toy) Toei actually giving a good budget for an episode and some new barefoot dancing, The Butler's polymer slime experiment is defeated. This type of leadership should be the Student Council President. Revice, The Devil is Just a Bad Guy?!: It's time for a company review of last week's (lol), super conference where FENIX was super happy to show off their belt and their choice for a Rider in front of the whole world and one over-excited family. Since it didn't go too well, someone's getting demoted as punishment. RIP Hiromi's commandership. Perhaps he shouldn't have tried to be a hero, because now instead of a belt, he has a contract to become a magical girl I mean, have a deadman walking around. And now, the one that they wanted to be Revice in Daiji, has become a go-for to get his older brother to sign a contract to also become a magical girl I mean to work for FENIX, since he's not scared of the belt. Daiji can't win.

Meanwhile, in a golf competition, an older brother and younger brother are fighting over who has the better swinging motion, and who has the better golf knowledge. The fighting gets so... well, not intense, but belittling for the younger sibling, so much so that he gets fired as his older brother's caddy.

Don't work for family. (I say that as a younger sibling too.) But at least he was sold this spiffy new contract by a personified alcohol person. Alcohol for your soul. Salespeople are getting real pushy with their selling.

Meanwhile, back at the bathhouse of Happiness, Daiji has come back home to offer Ikki an offer he can't refuse.

Ikki promptly refuses it. Something about needing more bare butts in the tubs. And probably wouldn't want to trigger Vice's fight or fight harder instincts. But in the mists of the "Please, Ikki, there's a 300,000 yen signing bonus" fight to get Ikki to work for FENIX, the dad apparently found a live stream of the golf fight. Fight or Fight Harder instincts fully engaged, Vice possesses a bike to get to the action faster. Regular bikes are for squares; get your demon-powered bike now at your local bike store.

At the golf course, Ikki and Vice transform. And while Ikki was actually doing his not-his-job, Vice went off to do some selling. He'll be denied no fights. At least until the new VStamp pulls him back in to become an Eagle. After beating the older brother's contract deadman, Vice goes back to selling things. At least until Ikki undoes the transformation.

But good news, everyone! Mama is almost completely healed from almost being eaten unceremoniously. And soothes Ikki's fear and tells him that plenty of people have had 2 jobs before. I mean, look at Vice, selling things. He sold the younger golf brother on visiting the Deadmans and getting his own Deadman. That's some A+ selling.

Not the right selling, apparently, since Ikki is pissed. We're not supposed to be selling the Deadmans, we're supposed to be selling the bathhouse. I mean the bathhouse services. And as punishment, Ikki fights this new Deadman without transforming when Daiji notifies them of this new, totally out of the blue and not sold to, Deadman. I mean we can't have other lives in danger.

Tasked with either apologize and fight properly or not fight at all, Vice agrees not to sell shit like Deadmen again and finally gets that magical girl contract. After beating the second Deadman of the day, the two golf brothers make up as much as siblings are willing to, for the low price of their stamps.

Hostage Trouble, What To Do Brother?!: While hanging out at the best-awarded rave place in town, the Deadmen are trying to look for a way to revive their head of ravers, and peanut butter named villain Jif I mean Giff, with a new recruit, a walking hood. Meanwhile, while Mama is trying to support her middle child, in a surprise to all middle children everywhere, an eviction company came to evict the bathhouse. Ikki proudly states that they will never be evicted from that spot, despite the father's best attempts.

Elsewhere, Sakura and her best friend forever Ayaka are going shoe shopping, where Ayaka finds these really nice sparkly shoes. Since Ayaka was not invited to her little sister's photoshoot (instead opting to bring her mom), it was only fair to bring about the shopping therapy. But it turns out that one of them has a stalker following them. And that stalker has some Deadmen foot soldiers. He really has this thing for Ayaka. But Sakura has a cellphone, and calls for Ikki, since we're not doing hide the identity thing.

When Ikki gets to the scene of the crime, he tells them to run, only for the stalker to throw a Pokeball and catch Ayaka. He also demands Sakura, a woman who could probably kick his ass, or he'll kill off Ayaka. But live your dream dude. No kink-shaming here. But they agree because killing people is bad. But is then interrupted by the Kong Deadman. At least Daiji comes in at the right time with the 555 suitcase, now holding the Revice Driver.

While in the midst of a hard-fought battle, the Deadman runs to where the girls are kidnapped, and while chasing this Deadman, Revi and Vice run against another alcohol personified man who wants to make a bargain: The girls for the stamps. This leads the new Go-For Daiji to go back to the FENIX Inc., and retrieve the new stamps, and takes a look at the new P-Bandai belt. Daiji asks if it's possible for him to use that belt, only for George to do his best Ankh impersonation and laughed in his face.

In a sign of kindness, the stalker allows Ayaka to call her mom, who tells her to bug off, she's watching her daughter work the cameras. It sucks to know you're not the favorite.

Elsewhere, the trade is going down, in the following fight allows both of the stamps to go back to Ikki and Vice who pull off their best Den-O impersonation, and end the fight. And in the confusion, Sakura breaks out of her confinements and kicks the ass of the stalker, proving that if Toei doesn't make her a Rider they are missing an opportunity. Sucks that it seems the stalker isn't the actual contract holder.

Back at the Rave Central, The Hooded Intern has these new sparkly shoes.

Zenkaiger, No. 27-kai! A Great Voyage Through Seven Worlds!: After hearing that his mom is still alive and has escaped her deep sleep can on Tojitendo Kikaitopia, The Zenkaiger group starts looking for Kaito's mom Mitsuko. Despite their best efforts, including a massive Google search by Secchan, they still can't find her. This leads to the thought by Gaon that maybe she escaped to a whole other world.

Since it was a good thought, Kaito asks his boyfriend Vox if he can borrow his pirate ship to go look for her. He promises to fill it back up with gas. What does it take, diesel? Regular?

Vox doesn't allow this because Kaito has no driver's license. I mean, neither does Vox, but Flint does and Flint has the keys.

Meanwhile, Stacey hates his job and now is sent on a wild chase to find a woman he may or may not have let out for the sake of his adopted grandma and ice cream supplier. Truthfully, it wasn't entirely his fault. It's not like he attacked the warp gate like the others when he may or may not have left the sleeping pod open.

Back with the heroes, Vroom and Gaon stay behind because Toei's budget is running a little tight. Can't have all that CGI and stuff after spending all that money on the CGI for the other worlds. There are budget concerns to think about, you know. But the remaining heroes board the Pirate ship and Magine sets about looking for Mitsuko with her crystal ball. But because the Pirates have no time for proper seancing, they just start picking the closest worlds to our heroes' world and work from there. Mr. Su is everywhere, by the way.

And after going to worlds where they are called perverts, nearly arrested, and freeze to death, in that order, Stacey arrives with his entourage of other people looking to cash in on overtime and says that all of the other worlds are getting visited, because she didn't just go back home, and not because they shot themselves in the foot. Instead of searching for clues in the Ice World, the Zenkaigers and Twokaizers head off to the Mushroom Kingdom. They did not see any plumbers, however. But, they "find" "Mama" "Mitsune" before Stacey and his crew of merry overtime workers, and a fight breaks out. After beating this wave, the Pirate ship heads off to Earth, much to the relief of Stacey who just wants to make Yatsune happy. Only to be told to follow them. Leading to another battle on Ice World. Stacey better be getting paid time and a half for this. The Zenkaigers win again and head back to Earth. But after the fight, "Mitsuko" takes off the magical disguise to show that it was Me, Magine! (not actually this writer.) with the hope that the bait and switch will get Tojitendo Kikaitopia to leave the other worlds alone, and just focus on them.

No. 28-kai! Weekly Shonen Manga World of Great Illustrations!: Kaito finally got his learner's permit to drive interdimensional ships and is going on a drive with Flint and some of his friends for practice before his big test with the Experienced Driver Flint. Vox has decided that is not his scene and is hanging out at Colorful, on Kaito's dime.

As someone who loves discovery, Vroom has made a big one: Vox is an Otaku. Vox loves him some manga. This is cool since Vroom is also a Manga Sommelier. And so is today's world, Manga World. And Manga World is working on his new hit piece for not-Shonen Jump about the everyday lives of the People of Earth. The pages even move! Now with exclusive Zyuran and Magine chapters! This is a limited edition, so make sure to get yours soon.

Back at Kikaitopia, the entire Tojitendo is still not happy about losing the Eve to their Adam. It'll be fine guys. It's not like there's someone there who'd sell you guys out for one ice cream parfait or something. He's too busy trying to get intel and how to get the father out to really mess with his own dad.

Back at Colorful, the Comics and the Not-Comics are having a conference about how to deal with Manga World. Kaito thinks that because Manga is just "drawing" and "some words" and some "Ink" that anyone can be a Mangaka. That it's sooo easy. This may or may not piss off Vox (and this writer.) about how people think it's so easy to be a Mangaka and storms off. Probably to an art room to make his Manga.

So because plan A didn't work, they go with plan B and buy the latest edition of the most popular manga. And after unbinding the pages of the latest Tankobon of Kimetsu no Yaiba and laying them off on the floor, Manga World starts trying to collect and read the pages. Kaito, thinking he's a ninja tries to steal it while he's reading, only to be caught and sent to the Manga page world. That Limited Edition now has a Kaito Chapter. Only 50 made! (Use the Ninninger or Hurricaneger gear next time.)

But this gives just enough time for Vox to drop ALL of his doujinshi and Original Works onto the floor. The Manga World loves the fact that they're seeing this new work about a pirate in space, looted, in true fashion, from Mangatopia. So much so that Vox does what pirates do best and swipes the limited edition not-Shonen Jump.

Everyone transforms to fight, including the comic pages. And proceed to fight and win, with half of the time acting it out in comic pages. And all the people are freed from their comic pages. I hope you got that limited edition not-Shonen Jump before it was too late.

And while Vox used that manga to save his family, he'd like to get it back now. Too bad Yatsune has ordered that manga back to Mangatopia. If he doesn't tell, will he get to keep it?
