If Alpey and Jaba got ice cream together, which flavours do you think they’d choose? 🤔🍨🍨
From the way Jabari acts, some people would mistake him to be a pretty boring guy when it comes to tastes in food. He's a creature of comfort who, if uncomfortable, will battle and yell with all the ferocity of a territorial lemming to regain it. However, some people tend to oversee that comfort and luxury can come hand in hand. Jabari is not the man who will play it safe, he will squint at the ice cream's menu and carefully select one of the most obscure options ever after conducting some serious research either beforehand or during the process. This research includes asking the employees what they think of the dessert. Even if there's a line of hungry kids and their late to work parents waiting behind him, Jabari will hush the ground so he can calculate All the options to come to a stable conclusion that Yes, this Is, in fact, The Best choice of item to spend my money on. He probably likes combinations, like an upside down banana split or something odd like that. If he's buying ice cream at a place that's stabilized itself by making good ice cream, it can't just be any ice cream he can just buy at a store then. It has to be THEIR SPECIAL ice cream. He's here for luxury and specifics, whatever the ice cream store says they can do the best, like, actually do in terms of making it, sprucing it up with syrups and fruits, and decorating it all nice and different, mixing it, etc, he'll buy it. I feel like he'd be one of those people that buys those really fancy overloaded ice cream shakes where there's like syrup or crumbs decorating the outside of the cup like sugar on an alcoholic beverage and there's a brownie bar on top for extra extra appearance appeal.
Meanwhile, alpey just wants some Dondurma, which is a Turkish ice cream notable for its hard texture and melt resistance, so he brings his own special knife and fork sets, one for him, one for jaba so they can cut into their ice cream bricks :] !! He's fond of the sweeter flavors, but they can't be artifical. ... sadly, there is no delicious Dondurma, and the ice cream just melts and slips between the slits of his special fork with much despair and pity. His ice cream lacks the sweetness and realness he desires, and they have no honey !!!! It's not stretchy or chewy at all! the texture is almost nothing !!!
It's okay, though, because Jabari orders him something special off the menu, an ornate mixture of various fruits and syrups and decorative pizzazz that they both end up using their forks to eat it. The creature of luxury cannot stand to see his fellow critter in need lack his own creaturely comforts. Before Jabari orders Alpey a new unique ice cream, he coaxes (demands) alpey to try a spoo-forkful of the carefully considered dessert of Jabari's choosing. Once he can tell Alpey likes Jabari's ice cream more than the simple and safe one he chose, Jabari buys Alpey something similar but with more sweetness. Cue another hour long research session that makes the poor teenagers groan as they watch their line grow longer and longer behind the happy couple(?) clinging onto their weird little forks instead of spoons.

Thunderbolts Headcanon: Bucky Arrives from Delacroix
(Yeah, I know it’s early, but I’ve already started thinking…things.)
* * * * * * * * * *
Bucky wasn’t happy to leave home and go meet up with some new “team” that Thunderbolt Ross was putting together, but he’d brought something with him to make this meeting bearable.
The first meeting goes something like this…
A QuinJet lands, and Bucky Barnes walks down the ramp and into a nearby building.
The “orientation meeting” has already begun as he enters the conference room. He’s wearing tactical gear, a Black backpack on his shoulders and, like Dirk Nowitzki* on Game Day, he’s carrying a plate covered with foil.
He barely glances at the camera mounted on the wall just above the video monitor. “Hey, Ross.”
After carefully setting the plate on the table, he removes his backpack, opens it, retrieves eating utensils wrapped in a dinner napkin, a bottle of water, and a small leather pouch which he opens and pulls out a shaker of some sort, and a small bottle of Tabasco sauce.
As he prepares to eat, the aroma filling the room causes at least one stomach to growl, and not quietly.
Yelena Belova pokes her father and glares, eyebrows raised. The huge, gruff man shrugs innocently. “What?! It smells delicious!”
Before taking a bite, Bucky looks around the table and asks, “What’d I miss?”
* * * * * * * * * * a bit of backstory * * * * * * * * * *
*ICYDK: Future NBA Hall of Famer, Dallas Mavericks Legend Dirk Nowitzki is legendary for not only his basketball skills, but for the foil-covered plate of home cooking he’d bring to the arena each Home Game and on the road.
After he met and married his wife Jessica Olsson, this was how the multimillionaire rolled into “the office”. Over the years, outlets such as ESPN covered # 41’s to-go game.
The foil-covered plate is so iconic, the recently retired 7’ tall Forward was even carrying one in the “Final Delivery” chapter of the 2022 NBA Championship Playoffs “NBA Lanes to 75” ad campaign that features Michael B. Jordan.
Still kinda don’t quite get it? Google “Dirk Nowitzki’s wife Jessica Olsson Nowitzki” and find out why on more than one occasion, Black Twitter speculated that there was everything from jollof rice to greens and cornbread under that foil, but whatever it was, it was definitely properly-seasoned.
IYKYK, FRFR.
