I hate the two cakes art metaphor I hate the two cakes art metaphor I hate the two cakes art—
#can we as a society stop pretending 'holy shit two cakes!!!' is actually a thing#no one is going 'omg two cakes!!!' they are absolutely looking at both works and deciding one is better than the other#and sometimes. more often than not. they decide they're only hungry enough for one#and you know what? fair. you can't eat every cake and you can't read every fic. choices have to be made#I saw one that made SO much more sense. instead of 'omg two cakes' it was 'oh! one without frosting!'#because if everyone was going omg two cakes the numbers would show it. numbers don't mean anything blah blah blah#it's more like... two cakes. yours isn't as big and is put behind the first one. most people see the first one and get a piece. they never#see yours. by the time some do—they're full. HOWEVER if someone GOES LOOKING for the frostingless or gluten free or vanilla flavor#THEN they're excited. you can like both but like it or not one is 'better' than the other. gluten free cake often sucks but hey. it's gf#people 100% complain about 'wattpad quality' work. they're not going omg two cakes. but someone out there is gluten free.#sorry I just say a tiktok making fun of it but included 'oh! frostingless cake' and I was like YEAH that's IT#THAT'S why I don't like the metaphor#so yes. my art/writing is often the equivalent of a dry and grainy cupcake BUT it's gluten free#and sometimes that's the only thing I can eat#and sometimes my friends eat the gluten free cake too and go hey this is actually pretty good! would they normally choose it? no.#given a choice between YOU CAN ONLY PICK ONE would they choose it? lmao no#but there's plenty of people that can't have the normal one for whatever reason#maybe they don't like that's it's chocolate but tolerate it. maybe they're also gf and straight up can't have it#so even though maybe they do like the normal one... and are like yeah I know objectively this is a better tasting cake#they will choose the dry and grainy gluten free one. maybe they have to. maybe they really do want to#anyway wtf am I talking about. it's 1 am😭

"Formula" baby food for ARFID age regressors 🍼🥤
I'll make a better post with progress pics next time I make some, but I wanted to post about it quickly, since it was such a success.
My small (@bunnnybcy ) has ARFID, which makes it very difficult for him to get much nutrition, and I'm always trying things to make health accessible to him. One way to make "scary" foods accessible is to make them cute or baby-like. This recipe is sort of a "base model," a warm and sweet treat that can be altered later to increase their fruit & whole grain consumption.
Equipment you'll need:
Saucepan
Stirrer
Measuring cups
Stove or hotpad
Blender
Sippy cup or reusable pouches (Link to reusable pouch example)
Refrigerator for storage
Sweet Cinnamon Formula Recipe 😋
Ingredients:
1 cup + 1 cup milk or plant milk of choice (we used vanilla soy milk) 🥛
1/2 cup plain rolled oats 🥣
1 tsp dark brown sugar, or to taste*
1 tsp honey, or to taste 🍯
Cinnamon, to taste
Vanilla extract, to taste
Steps:
🥛 Heat the first cup of milk in your saucepan on the stove. Turn the heat up to medium, or medium-high if you're impatient.
🍯 Stir in the brown sugar and honey, and continue to stir frequently until the milk starts to lightly boil.
🥣 Stir in the 1/2 cup of rolled oats, and turn down the heat to medium, if it isn't already there.
🥄 Stir frequently until the liquid is mostly absorbed, about 5-8 minutes. (The longer you cook it, the smoother your end product will be, which is important for ARFID smalls.)
🆒️ Take off the heat, and let cool for a bit, until you're confident that it won't melt your blender lol.
Pour the oatmeal into your blender, add 1/4 cup milk🥛, and blend until smooth. Check the consistency, and continue adding milk in 1/4 cup amounts until your small approves of the texture. This would also be a convenient time to add more cinnamon, vanilla, honey🍯, or sugar, if they feel the taste is lacking.
Pour into pouches or sippy cups.
You can store leftover formula in the fridge for 3-5 days.
Other formula flavor ideas:
Strawberry 🍓
Banana🍌
Blueberry 🫐
Peach 🍑
Chocolate 🍫
Peanut butter 🥜
Apple pie 🍎
Pumpkin pie 🥧
Sweet potato 🍠
Notes for other carers of little ones with ARFID:
If your small one will tolerate it, adding nuts or seeds during step 1 will yield a more nutritious result, but some may not blend down. Chia seeds, for example, will remain visible and will feel like poppyseeds, which may be off-putting to someone with ARFID, even though they don't taste like anything.
Always remember to introduce new tastes and textures slowly, and allow them to try a new thing multiple times on different days if they're unsure about it. Unsure may just mean unfamiliar, and it'll take them a number of attempts to acquire a taste for it. Uncertainty is a good sign of a future "yes", but don't push them to finish a serving of something they're on the fence about; the pressure may turn it into a "no". Instead, give them the option of putting the rest away for later, and after some time, when they're ready, encourage them to try it again.

OC Deep Dive Questionnaire Tag
A set of 20 questions to get to know your oc! I was tagged by @elderwisp :) thank you so much. To nobody's surprise, this will be about Dulce LOL
Tumblr media Tumblr media
What uncommon/common fear do they have? I find this funny and ironic (kinda spoilery too for the future. If you know, you know) but she's scared of the dark.
Do they have any pet peeves? When people chew with their mouths open or double dip.
What are 3 items you can find in their bedroom? Polaroids, plants, and pretty things.
What do they notice first in a person? Their taste in fashion. She likes meeting all different kinds of people and finds their different styles fascinating.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how high is their pain tolerance? 7
Do they go into fight or flight mode when under pressure? It depends because she's neurodivergent but incredibly resilient. If she's not feeling too overwhelmed, she goes into fight mode and doesn't back down. If she is feeling way too overwhelmed, she'll go into flight mode and probably cry.
Do they come from a big family/are they a family person? Her immediate family is pretty small. There's her mom, Noemí, dad, Erick, and older brother, Ángel. Even though her parents had to work a lot in her childhood, she is still close to them and loves them immensely. Dulce and her brother have a really good relationship too.
What animal represents them best? A fox :) I talk about it more here.
What is a smell that they dislike? She doesn't like the smell of vanilla in fragrances! It's too strong for her.
Have they broken any bones? I'm surprised she hasn't...
How would a stranger likely describe them? Easy to talk to.
Are they a night owl or a morning bird? Morning bird, like the rest of her family. They start getting up at 4 or 5 in the morning, even on weekends.
What is a flavor they hate and a flavor they love? She doesn't like blue cheese. She doesn't get it and she probably never will. She loves tomatoes, though!
Do they have any hobbies? Cooking, posting on her Instagram, and playing basketball.
Boom, surprise birthday party! How do they react to surprises? Oh, she loves surprises!! And just being celebrated in general LOL. She would join in and start partying and posing for pictures.
Do they like to wear jewelry? Yes! I try to not add too many jewelry or accessories to her yet, because she's still a teen and I want to differentiate my teens and young adults more. However, she likes wearing gold earrings, rings, and necklaces like her mom. She wants a belly button piercing too but her mom would not like that 🙈
Do they have neat or messy handwriting? She has neat and cute handwriting, you will see that in a future post :)
What are two emotions they feel the most? Joy (bruh) and annoyance.
Do they have a favorite fabric? Nahhh, she likes all of them.
What kind of accent do they have? She lives in Tartosa, Italy, so she has an Italian accent. She also speaks English and Spanish because her parents used the one-parent one-language method with her and Ángel ever since they were babies. I imagine that Erick is from Ohio, so that's the accent that Dulce speaks with in English. Noemí is from Jalisco, Mexico, so Dulce speaks with that accent in Spanish.

Cup of Coffee and a VHS | Pt. 2
Start with Pt. 1 HERE!
Pairing: Neil Lewis x Reader Coffee Shop!AU
Word Count: 2k
Warnings: Lucien is a bit of a jerk, but other than him this is all just fluff and Neil being a dork.
Tumblr media
Neil returned to your shop a few days later, borrowed scarf in hand and ready to try another one of your concoctions. 
“Surprise me,” he said, hanging up his jacket - which you were glad to see he remembered to wear - on the coat rack by the door. 
“Mmm, you weren’t really a fan of the last thing I surprised you with,” you reminded him.
It had been a busy day at the cafe, but things had quieted down now. You usually closed a few hours after the lunch rush, and you were only planning to be open for about another twenty minutes. Not that you were in any hurry to rush Neil out.
“Yeah, but I still kind of like surprises,” Neil insisted. “They can’t all be winners, but that’s all part of the experience.”
“Oh, so you’re saying my coffee is bad?” you teased.
“I’m saying that all coffee is bad,” Neil replied, making a face. “Yours was actually the most tolerable I’ve ever tried.”
You laughed. You were quickly learning that Neil, sweet as he was, was far from being a smooth talker. He seemed to dig himself into a hole more often than not.
“Wow, ‘tolerable,’” you echoed. “That’s one of the best reviews I’ve ever gotten.”
“I don’t- I didn’t mean it like that,” Neil sputtered. 
“Relax,” you laughed. “I’m just giving you a hard time. One non-coffee, coming up.”
You set about filling a kettle and putting it on the hot plate to boil. You were going to try tea for Neil’s next drink, thinking that maybe he’d like that better. You glanced over at the flavored syrups you had in stock, wondering if he would enjoy any of them. Or maybe it would be better to go with plain sugar, or maybe honey, and let the tea speak for itself.
“My buddy Lucien is a total coffee snob, and he really likes your Americanos,” Neil offered.
You remembered Lucien. He had been in the shop a few times. Become somewhat of a regular, actually, with the fairly odd habit of insisting on writing his own name on all his to-go cups. He struck you as snobby, but harmless enough. You figured he was probably just sick of baristas misspelling a name that hadn’t been given to anyone since the eighteenth century. 
“Well, I’m glad someone around here appreciates me,” you joked, setting a steaming mug down in front of Neil. He had taken his usual seat at the counter.
“I appreciate a warm drink, too,” Neil said. “But! I am paying you for this one.”
You waved your hand as Neil took his first sip, his shoulders instantly relaxing as he swallowed the warm liquid. You had settled on adding just a dash of vanilla syrup.
“On the house,” you insisted.
“I’m not trying to run you out of business,” Neil began.
“But, you didn’t like your last drink, so that one doesn’t really count,” you pressed. “Hot water and a bag of tea costs, like, twenty cents. I’m not gonna sell it to you at a two hundred percent markup. Now, Lucien on the other hand…”
Neil laughed, and you had to bite your cheek to keep from smiling too broadly. You were wary of laying it on too thick, but Neil was too fun to flirt with for you to abstain entirely. And it really wasn’t hurting you to give him a couple of free drinks…
“Still, I don’t want to take advantage of your generosity,” Neil said.
“Well, what if we did a little exchange?” you suggested. Neil leaned forward in his seat. “I don’t know much about movies, but I’m guessing you do.” 
Neil shrugged, mimicking modesty while giving you a knowing look. His side-eye made you swoon, a little more than you should have.
“I’ve been known to dabble,” he admitted.
“So how about you suggest me a movie as payment for the drink?” you offered.
Neil considered it as he took another sip of his tea.
“Hmmm, that is a tall order,” he joked, sitting on his hands as he rocked back a bit.
“Think you’re up for it?”
“I think it could be arranged,” he relented. “But, you’d have to stop by Gumshoe to pick it up.”
“Deal,” you agreed.
Neil took another sip of tea.
“Better than the coffee?” you asked, motioning to his cup.
“Better, but… I’m not sure I’m really a tea person, either,” Neil admitted.
“Next time you should tell me what you actually like,” you laughed. 
Neil made a face.
“But where’s the fun in that?”
“The fun is that you get to drink something that doesn’t make you gag when you think I’m not looking,” you teased. Then added, “you’re not very subtle, Neil.”
It was so easy to make Neil blush that you almost felt bad doing it. Almost. He tried to hide his pink face by taking another sip from the mug, loudly slurping in some kind of effort to pull the attention away from his embarrassment. 
“Well,” Neil said, setting his empty mug down. “I should get going, but feel free to stop by whenever. We’re open late.”
“Three-in-the-morning-late?” you joked.
“Not that late,” Neil laughed, rolling his eyes. 
“Maybe I’ll stop by tomorrow?”
“Sounds good,” agreed Neil.
He tapped the counter as he stood up, and made his way over to the door. As was becoming your habit, you came out from behind the counter to send him off. 
“Oh! I almost forgot.” Neil looked down at the scarf he was still clutching in his hand. “Don’t want you to go without your scarf for another day.”
Neil unfolded the scarf and wrapped it around you, just like you had done for him a few days ago. He held onto the ends, pulling it snug, and stayed like that for a moment longer than was necessary.
“Thank you again for letting me borrow this,” Neil muttered, letting the ends of the scarf fall from his hands. “And I’m serious about paying you back; you’d better stop by.”
“I will,” you promised. “Tomorrow.”
Neil smiled and gave you a short wave as he exited the cafe again. You realized after he left that your heart was beating wildly; so fast that you could feel it inside your chest. You wrapped the scarf a little tighter, and hurried to close up shop for the day, your steps feeling just a little more airy.
Tumblr media
The following afternoon, bundled in your cold-weather gear, you made the trek down the street to Gumshoe Video after closing up your shop. The air was biting against your cheeks, and you were grateful that Neil had returned your scarf. You buried into it a little deeper, and caught a whiff of an unfamiliar cologne. 
You smiled. It was woodsy but also sweet. The bell above the door rang as you let yourself into Neil’s store.
“Hey - coffee girl,” a familiar voice called as you entered the store. Not Neil’s.
You looked up to see Lucien, standing behind the counter. You wondered briefly if the “coffee girl” nickname was a spur-of-the-moment thing, or if he and Neil ever talked about you, but you quickly shook away the thought.
“Lucien, you work here?” you asked.
You stepped farther into the store, briefly scanning the endless shelves of VHS tapes. So many movies. You stopped at the counter and rested your elbows on the glass top.
“Unfortunately,” droned Lucien. He lowered his voice, whispering. “My boss is kind of a dick.”
“I think I’m, uh… actually here to see your boss.”
“Oh. That’s right.” Before you had a chance to ask what that meant, Lucien called out, shouting toward the back of the store. “Neil! Coffee girl here to see you!”
Okay, you weren’t loving that nickname. But before you had a chance to say anything else, Neil appeared from a back room, smiling broadly and holding his arms out to greet you.
“Heyyyy!” Neil came over to your side of the counter, standing beside you and leaning on one elbow. “Glad you could make it. Lucien, don’t give rude nicknames to the customers.” “But you’re the one who-”
“It’s nice to see you,” Neil cut Lucien off, turning his attention to you. “Welcome to Gumshoe.”
“Thanks,” you replied. “It’s nice to finally visit. You have a ton of movies; wow.”
A whispering voice to your left hissed out: “Neil, is that the girl?” 
You hadn’t noticed, but there was a third man in the room, lounging on one of the couches in front of a TV set that was playing a black-and-white movie. He was looking up expectantly at Neil, who whirled around to glare at him.
“Jonathan,” Neil hissed.
“Sorry. Is that… a… girl?” Jonathan corrected. 
Neil turned back around, raking an exasperated hand through his hair. You stifled a giggle.
“Sorry,” Lucien said sardonically. “We’re all a little out of sorts since Neil broke up with his girlfriend.”
“Lucien,” Neil whispered, practically begging the other man to shut up. “You are not helping!”
Privately, your heart skipped a beat. The news that Neil was single excited you more than you knew it should have. You suddenly felt grateful for Lucien’s horrid social skills.
“Suddenly,” Neil said, glaring at both of his friends, “I just remembered I need both of you to run inventory. In my office.”
“But there’s nothing to-”
“Inventory!” Neil barked, pointing in the direction of the back room.
Jonathan and Lucien slunk off, both throwing not-so-subtle looks in your and Neil’s direction. Neil tried to compose himself, and turned back to face you.
“Sorry about them,” he apologized. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair again.
“Sorry to hear about you and your girlfriend,” you offered, even as your heart was still pounding from the excitement.
“Oh, don’t be.” Neil waved his hand. “Like I said, it was kind of a long time coming, and… It’s really fine.”
“I can come back another time…”
“No!” Neil said, a little too sharply. “No, no - this is perfect. I actually have your movie right here.”
He disappeared behind the counter for a moment, leaning down to fetch the VHS he had picked out for you. He handed it over, and you looked down at the cover.
“Ooh, The Shining,” you mused. “I’ve never seen it.”
“You’re in for a treat, then,” Neil beamed. “Classic horror. Stanley Kubrick. And perfect to watch during the snowstorm this weekend.”
You knew enough about the film’s plot to know that he was correct. You wondered if Neil had taken such a minor detail as the weather into consideration when picking out this movie. It seemed like the kind of thing he would do.
“I’m excited to watch it,” you smiled. “Thank you for your ‘payment.’”
Neil smiled back, and swung around the counter to join you once again on the other side. He stood a little closer to you than he had before, and you felt your heart beat loudly, thundering against your ribs.
“I hope this doesn’t mean you’ll stop coming to the cafe so I can test out drinks on you, though,” you told him. “Just because this makes us even. I still need to find something you actually like.”
“Of course not,” Neil agreed. “I can always pay you in more movie recommendations.”
You tucked the VHS tape Neil had given you into your bag, taking the few seconds that your face was turned away from him as an opportunity to smile like an idiot. You looked back up, trying to relax and put on a more neutral expression, with questionable levels of success.
“Before I go,” you started. “Will you please give me some kind of clue about what you like? I don’t want to keep making you drinks that you hate.”
Neil shrugged. 
“I dunno; I like sweet stuff, I guess,” he replied. “The more sugar, the better.”
Somewhere from deeper in the store, either Jonathan or Lucien let out a wolf whistle. Clearly they hadn’t made it all the way into Neil’s office. You couldn’t help laughing as Neil rolled his eyes.
“Something sweet, huh? I think that can be arranged,” you said.
You and Neil exchanged goodbyes as you left the store, bell ringing again on your way out. Outside, you could barely feel the cold air on your cheeks, for the way they burned red-hot after being around Neil.

Wilt-resist your whipped cream! (A cheat, by Doc)
Okay, the phrase "by Doc" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here--I actually learned this tip from a gal I was competing with years ago in state fair (she beat my ass) and I'm sure other aunts and grandmas know it. But, whomst else on tumblr will deliver it to your eyeballs?
Because you know the trouble with whipped cream and whipped cream frostings is they tend to wilt over time, especially if they have to deal with absolutely any level of heat. A simple room temperature can make your pie or cake look weepy and sad. Your bowl of fresh whipped cream now looks worse than the fuckin' cool whip. Tragedy.
Now, I assume you, erudite and exceptional readers of this blog, are already using powdered sugar/icing sugar instead of standard sugar to make your whipped cream, not only because of greater stability but because it functionally removes the possibility of graininess. This is a "I want to make this whipped cream the night before" tip. Other tips like milk powder, I find, just don't have the same longevity as what's below:
Professionals use gelatin or agar-agar, which I don't like for two reasons: 1) Gelatin is not vegetarian and in the US is often made from pork, so fuck your Jewish or Muslim guests and 2) you have to bloom the gelatin or agar-agar, and it can be tricky to work with, and if you aren't the 'working with high-level mousses and creams often" type, it may be a waste of space in your kitchen.
But gee whiz, did you know there's a very cheap and intensely easy solution for busy housewives to keep her man loving her whipped cream, and by extension, her? Tell her, Don!
Tumblr media
Why little lady, it's Jell-O (tm) brand instant pudding mix! Don't tell the ladies at the church bake-off...we won't.
This is the easiest possible way to get nice, stiff whipped cream that holds up for, I think my record is three days. It can also tolerate sitting in a warm room much much better than whipped cream really ought to be able to.
"But Doc, isn't Jell-O, uh, gelatin?"
Jell-O itself is, but Jell-O pudding is actually kosher. I assume other brands are as well, but I don't know this for a fact--so make sure to check the label if you're using a different brand. What's doing the work here is 'modified food starch' which is a stronger version of cornstarch, which I find, added to whipped cream, to require too much to be added, and the texture gets odd.
This is cheap! Your grocery store may vary, but this small box was 99 cents.
This is easy! All you do is add about 1 tablespoon of pudding mix per one cup of heavy/whipping/double cream* and then whip as usual.
It does lightly flavor the whipped cream, which I've never found to be a problem--I use regular vanilla mostly, but french vanilla is nice for banana cream pie, I used coconut cream for the pie I just entered WHICH WON BEST IN SHOW I MIGHT ADD. Chocolate is great for chocolate whipped cream. You're smart people, you got this. The only ones I don't recommend are tapioca (pearls) and Oreo (having about three bits of oreo in the whipped cream looks dirty rather than intentional.)
Go forth, and set your whipped cream on the sideboard with confidence!
*I'm aware these all actually contain different levels of fat, but let's get real here, they are often used interchangeably and only the craziest among us is going to seriously get into "What cream should you be whipping?" discourse.

OC Deep Dive Questionnaire Tag
Thank you for the tag @windslar!! Our favourite blonde is going to be in the eye of the hurricane for the next days, so let's get to get to know Lottie a bit better :D
1. What uncommon/common fear do they have?
She's afraid of thunderstorms! And also, death. She lost her mom at a very young age, so an early demise is something Lottie feels uneasy about.
2. Do they have any pet peeves?
People who talk too much about themselves. Ironic, huh?
3. What are 3 items you can find in their bedroom?
Expensive perfume bottles, at least one bouquet of fresh flowers and a manicure set.
4. What do they notice first in a person?
Their general hygiene. Lottie won't judge you about your clothing and style (maybe a little), but uneccesary messiness? Bad smells? Dirty teeth? Ew, no thanks.
5. On a scale of 1 to 10, how high is their pain tolerance?
Oh no, a complete 0. She'll cry rivers for the smallest, non-visible scratch anytime. She's a terrible patient whenever she's really hurt or sick.
6. Do they go into fight or flight mode when under pressure?
Lottie will choose violence whenever she feels the lightest pressure on her glamourous and delicate self, thank you very much.
7. Do they come from a big family/are they a family person?
No and yes! Her family has been always her and her dad since she was a toddler, and she always grew apart from other relatives or acquaitances. On the other hand, being close to Tiana made Lottie become included by the whole White bunch in their chaotic family antics, what shaped her into a a very familiar person. That's one of the main reasons she would love to have a big family of her own!
8. What animal represents them best?
A very much spoiled angora cat, of course.
9. What is a smell that they dislike?
Artificial strawberry, specially on cosmetics.
10. Have they broken any bones?
Nope! And let's hope things stay that way!
11. How would a stranger likely describe them?
It would depend on her mood, since she can be your best friend or ignore you completely if she feels like it. In general, people often say she's elegant, well-educated, pretentious and too loud.
12. Are they a night owl or a morning bird?
Her? A night owl? She won't interrupt her beauty sleep even if her life depends on it. Lottie prefers to wake up early and get things done with a freshly rested face.
13. What is a flavor they hate and a flavor they love?
Hate: coconut / Love: vanilla!
14. Do they have any hobbies?
I don't know if it counts as a hobby, but wellness is her main thing. From doing yoga and meditating to research crystal properties, Lottie is very passionate about it!
15. Boom, surprise birthday party!How do they react to surprises?
Oh, she LOVES surprises! Only if they reach her standards, what's a bit troublesome. But anything that makes her feel like the main character is a yes, thank you.
16. Do they like to wear jewelry?
It's not a preference, it's a sport. And she's the national champion.
17. Do they have neat or messy handwriting?
Of course it's neat! She wouldn't dare to leave elegant handwritten and scented notes to people with an horrendous one. Fun fact: she even took calligraphy classes to improve her style at some point.
18. What are two emotions they feel the most?
Flirty (of course) and confident (of course x2).
19. Do they have a favorite fabric?
Silk! So fresh, smooth and flattering. And expensive, as usual.
20. What kind of accent do they have?
US English, rich girl edition.
I tag @payte @goldoradove @samssims @pixel-bloom @zosa95 @akitasimblr @duusheen @marcishaun @nitrozem @micrathene-w and @bakersimmer! Feel free to ignoreee

I would like to tag @papermint-airplane @changingplumbob @windermeresimblr @streetlites and @wannabecatwriter @profoundlyburningsimscollection and @stargazer-sims. No pressure ever, feel free to ignore!

OC Deep Dive Questionnaire Tag
Thanks for the tag @natolesims! 💗
I chose Deidra, a sim I had created almost 2 years ago. I had created a save just for her, and gave her extended family members. She eventually fell in love with & married a townie, and when the Growing Together ep came out, she became my 1st sim to have an infant. They eventually had 4 kids!
Tumblr media
1. What uncommon/common fear do they have?
Being alone. It led to arguments with her sister, Kendra, who felt Deidra rushed into a relationship with Stan because she wanted to get married & have a baby before it was too late.
2. Do they have any pet peeves?
Laziness. Deidra gets frustrated easily, & hates when others don't help.
3. What are 3 items you can find in their bedroom?
Baby toys (their youngest sleeps in their room), perfume & lotions, hair wraps.
4. What do they notice first in a person?
Probably how they react to her. She can be self-conscious, and seems to be on high alert & observes how people perceive her.
5. On a scale of 1 to 10, how high is their pain tolerance?
Maybe a 2. It's low. She's never had a major physical injury, and prefers to not deal with any emotional or mental ones.
6. Do they go into fight or flight mode when under pressure?
Absolutely flight mode. After constantly bickering with her sister, because Kendra didn't accept her now-husband, Deidra stopped speaking to her.
7. Do they come from a big family/are they a family person?
Deidra comes from an average sized family. She has 1 younger sister (Kendra), and 1 younger brother (Shawn), and even has the family oriented trait.
8. What animal represents them best?
Maybe a lioness. Takes care of all of the babies, hunts/cooks, and is the one REALLY in charge.
9. What is a smell that they dislike?
Trash/dirty dish water. It means someone didn't complete their chores.
10. Have they broken any bones?
No.
11. How would a stranger likely describe them?
Quiet, but nice. Seems well organized and put together.
12. Are they a night owl or a morning bird?
Night owl. Her mornings are chaos.
13. What is a flavor they hate and a flavor they love?
Deidra loves vanilla & cinnamon, and just the smell of pickles makes her gag.
14. Do they have any hobbies?
Reading and art/painting/sketching.
15. Boom, surprise birthday party!How do they react to surprises?
Pleasantly surprised, but anxious.
16. Do they like to wear jewelry?
Not really. Maybe for special occasions.
17. Do they have neat or messy handwriting?
Very neat!
18. What are two emotions they feel the most?
The last time I played her, they were Flirty & probably some form of Tense.
19. Do they have a favorite fabric?
Probably cotton. Simple.
20. What kind of accent do they have?
English, United States. Just realized most of my sims don't have regional American accents, and maybe it's because most people tell me that they can't detect a regional accent in me.

Foods I think Team Urameshi enjoys 🍜 😋
This post is kinda inspired by/a continuation of this post I made about Hiei so please enjoy my thoughts on the rest of the team’s taste in food!
Yusuke:
If the live action did nothing else, it definitely established that Yusuke’s a ramen guy 😂
He likes both the instant stuff and the traditional kind but the latter is his go to if he can afford it
The instant ones are good but they doo remind him of his childhood when either his mom didn’t have enough money to feed him properly or she was too intoxicated to feed him properly
He also really likes American food
If you get him a good burger, some fries and some soda, he’s your friend for life
He LOVES a good cheesy pizza! The greasier and cheesier the better
Honestly he just LOVES heavy, greasy, heart food
It makes him feel full and weirdly energized
He could eat an entire family bucket of fried chicken by himself, sides and all, and feel pumped up for a good workout 🏋️‍♂️
He also loves spicy food
His spice tolerance is average but he genuinely likes the burn 🔥
If he sees a spicy challenge, he’s gonna do it just to see how far he can go
He’s currently at a level 7 out of 10 on the 🌶️ meter
He’s also very open to exploring weird food combinations and food from other cultures
This includes food from the demon world
He actually kinda likes food from demon world, he just feels like it could use some more spices
Catch him trying Nutella and bologna because Chu swears that the last time he went to the human world he tried it and it was delicious
…he actually tried it…and he liked it…
9 times out of 10 he’s gonna try and actually like the cursed foods you recommend to him
Kuwabara:
He’s a big sandwich connoisseur 🥪 🧐
He just likes how customizable and portable they are
Honestly he likes meals that are not only balanced, but a comfort to the soul
So things like stews, ramen, soba, curry and pasta dishes
One of his personal favorites things to both eat and make are bento boxes 🍱
He loves making them for his friends and family for a number of reasons
For one, it’s his way of making sure his loved ones are eating enough
Some of his friends come from low income households that don’t always have enough money for food
He made sure that whenever they hung out, they were always well fed
He also learned how to make bentos from his mom and sister
He really enjoyed the cooking lessons and he enjoys the warm fuzzy feelings he gets when he feeds his loved ones
The one food he won’t make or consume is anything spicy
He can’t handle spicy food and doesn’t feel confident enough to properly make a spicy dish
Honestly he can’t eat anything spicier than a jalapeño
But he will try to beat Yusuke and Hiei in spice challenges
…my boy never wins and I don’t know why he thinks he will at this point 😂
Kurama:
Like seemingly everything else about this guy, his palate is very refined
He likes expensive things like lobster, caviar, and liver tartare
Part of why he likes it is Yoko has expensive taste and old habits die hard 😂
In Yoko’s correct opinion, if you’re gonna feed him, you might as well break out the good stuff
The other reason is that a lot of these foods have very strong flavors and he enjoys that every now and then
That by no means mean he hates “Lowe quality” foods
He use to eat McDonald’s as a kid
He liked it
Still eats it from time to time
Not as often as Yusuke does, but like…if friends invite him out for a burger, he’ll eat it
Big enjoyer of fruit, grows it himself actually!
The fresher the better 😌👌
He loves ice cream! 🍨 specially strawberry, vanilla and most fruity sorbets
He actually has a bit of a sweet tooth tbh
Thank his mom for that cuz she’d give her baby boy sweets if he looked at her with his big puppy eyes
Mf didn’t even have to say a word
She’d either buy them or make them for him
Even into his adulthood, he can demolish a tray of cookies and macaroons on his own
The difference is that as a child he didn’t care about his weight or how much sugar he’s eating
As an adult, he absolutely cares because he wants to stay in shape and also his body is technically human so he doesn’t wanna deal with diabetes if he can avoid it
Now he also technically grew up with demon world food when he was Yoko
Demon world food is whatever you can find that’s edible
So usually it’s other demons and edible plants/produce
Some of which does that pretty good
But a lot of it is more for survival than taste
He’s absolutely had to eat a bug demon before and not only did it look gross, it tasted gross!
But it was either that or starve…
And believe me…he did debate it…but food doesn’t always just die for you so…🐛🐛🐛
Boy was he grateful that humans in Japan eat some of the best food he’s ever seen
Human food has also made Kurama appreciate the artistry that can go into food
When he sees the chef went out of their way to make the food look like a literal work of art, he’s always so amazed!
He actually has a hard time eating something if it looks super pretty
Expect him to take a few pictures before he eats btw 🤣
He also has an shockingly high spice tolerance
He can eat authentic Thai food without sweating
But certain peppers will automatically have him on his knees
He can and has grown his own peppers to see if he can make spicier peppers than what’s available
He has, but internet trends make people competitive enough to dethrone him by next week 🤣
Hiei:
Oh this guy ain’t picky
Honestly he’ll eat burnt food if he’s hungry enough
He can also eat 10xs his own body weight
Want proof?
Tumblr media
Togashi himself knows this little gremlin is a bottomless pit of angst and hangry
He could easily eat you and 12 of your friends out of house and home and still have the audacity to wonder why ya’ll stressed 🙄
Hello grew up in an environment where food was not guaranteed every day so any food he got, he wasn’t wasting a crumb
Even if he’d been given a giant demon bug leg, best believe he’s eating it
Waste not want not as they say
The only food he’s very sus about is mushrooms 🍄
Especially when talking about demon world mushrooms, a lot of them are very hard to identify wether they’re poisonous or so he tends to avoid them
Unless Kurama is there to tell him it’s poisonous or not
He’ll never admit it out loud but he LOVES human food so much!
It’s so flavorful!
His favorite dishes are meaty rice and noodle dishes
Honestly any dishes with meat are an instant hit with him 🍖
But his all time favorite dishes are the spicy ones
The spicier the better 🌶️🌶️🌶️
His spice tolerance is otherworldly
I’m 99.99% sure he could eat lava and not react
To this day, Yusuke and Kurama are trying to find a dish or pepper spicy enough to make Hiei sweat
They so far have not been successful 😔
Honestly not sure they will succeed any time soon
Mf pops Carolina reapers into his mouth like popcorn 🍿 🌶️

Hi ! I saw your 100 follower special and I wanted to request a F!reader x Kiri with Prompt #19 and #10
You can choose just one if you'd like or you can do both I don't mind!
Thank you!
🌺 kiri x fem!reader 🌺 | — 🌺100 𝓯𝓸𝓵𝓵𝓸𝔀𝓮𝓻𝓼 𝓼𝓹𝓮𝓬𝓲𝓪𝓵 !!!🌺 —
prompt: #19 - being observant of their likes and dislikes
Tumblr media
being born in pandora has its advantages and disadvantages. advantages are you get to appreciate nature’s beauty and never got to experience the destruction of earth. disadvantages are you don’t get to breathe its air and everything is just too big that a human like you can disappear if you went out for 5 minutes.
that’s where kiri comes into the picture. you and kiri grew up together attached to the hips. neytiri somewhat tolerated you and treated you much better than spider. still, she can’t help but feel that humans like you will eventually do something and break their trust. but that doesn’t change kiri’s opinion of you since you two hang out so much, she knows you like the back of her hand.
growing up, kiri is very attentive to everything that involved you, almost observant really. she knows you loved vanilla-flavored ice cream to loving this specific pandora fruit that only comes by during a specific season (she would always find them during the said season and gift them to you).
but what she loved about you the most was your love for pandora. since she herself was closer to eywa than most na’vi’s, she can feel the love you emit to your surroundings. how you give positive affirmations to everything you see, even to the smallest growing sapling you see during your late-night walks with kiri. you especially loved seeing the woodsprites and when one lands on your arm, it makes you giggle because its little tendrils tickled.
you also loved flying on the ikrans. since you’re a human, you can’t make bonds with anything so kiri would always take you to her ikran and fly around for hours and hours, her tail wrapped securely around your waist as one of her hands held your stomach down while the other hand held onto the ikran. you would squeal in joy and laugh when the wind tickled your sides as your hands held onto kiri’s arm so you wouldn’t fall.
then, there were nights that are reserved for you two and you two alone. you loved having late-night talks talking about anything that comes to mind. when you two don’t see each other for days when you got busy in the lab, you would tell kiri everything that happened, not leaving out any details.
when she takes note of everything about your likes, she would notice how your nose would scrunch up and your eyes turn into crescents especially when it’s something you absolutely adore. your body would shake slightly out of excitement especially when it’s something new that immediately got your attention.
those are what she observed when it’s about your likes. your dislikes are a different story. dislikes are rare for you but they’re there. people just had to have keen eyes.
you hated rough fabrics and would gag when you accidentally touch them. you also hated the foul smell a certain pandora plant emits and would immediately run away from it. you also hated weaving because it would leave cuts on your fingers but you don’t mind receiving gifts that were woven, but weaving is a big no no.
you also hated climbing trees. yeah, it’s what the omatikaya’s do everyday for centuries and centuries, but it drained your energy a little too fast. since you were a lot smaller than kiri, she can easily carry you so you’d always be on her back when you need to be somewhere that required climbing up.
kiri had loved you for so long and seeing your likes and dislikes made her like you even more. you were different but that’s what made you interesting to her. she hopes that you don’t get tired of hanging out with her. she wants to be there every step of the way, observing your ever-growing list of likes and dislikes.

How does Giratina get to taste ice cream for the first time in all of your au's
I think it is very important that the giant worm on a string gets to taste ice cream.
I don't know about all of my aus because Giratina only plays a major role in one of them...
But here's prophet and heretic au Giratina trying ice cream, with a bonus sketch of ceiling gremlin time.
This is kind of a continuation of my last heretic!Emmet oneshot here. Giratina is teaching Emmet how to make a rift so he can go to Sinnoh. No trigger warnings this time, just wholesome fluff! :>
(sorry if Emmet is ooc, i didn't drink my character juice)
-------
"I am Emmet," he huffed as he collapsed on his back. The swirling purple tear in space sealed itself shut the moment Emmet removed his hand, and he couldn't help his frustrated groan. "Was that one at least close?"
"Yes. It would have taken you to your intended destination if it were stable enough to last." Giratina's voice echoed in Emmet's head. Giratina had gotten a lot better at his volume control, and Emmet's head no longer protested in pain every time he talked. It was a small mercy, though. Emmet only traded the headache for the pins and needles in his fingers as Giratina taught him how to rip a hole through the universe.
Emmet wished that Giratina could just do it himself, but the denizen of the distortion world was terrified of breaking Emmet's body with his otherworldly power. Thus, Emmet had to slowly build up a tolerance as he learned it himself.
"Remind me again why I did not just take a plane," Emmet mumbled through breathless pants.
"A plane ticket will get you to your destination once. This skill is reusable. Besides, if Arceus will not return your brother to you, you will need this to make your own tracks."
Swords, he was right. As difficult as it was, Emmet would have to learn this sooner or later. That didn't make it any less frustrating, though.
"Let us take a break. That is enough for now." He pushed himself up on his elbows and looked around. "Giratina... Why am I on the ceiling?"
"You didn't notice?"
"Nope."
"Uh... I think it was the seventh attempt."
"Oh, I remember that one, yup. That was when everything started floating." The rifts tended to mess with the space around Emmet if he wasn't careful. There were a couple of broken mugs that could attest to that. "But why have I not fallen down yet?"
Emmet stood up and walked around. He was getting footprints on his ceiling, but this was too cool for him to care. He wished he had noticed it sooner so he could have enjoyed it more.
"In the distortion world, the laws of physics aren't as concrete. Some tracks run perpendicular to others, and some are completely upside down. I think it is rubbing off on you."
"Verrry interesting." Emmet hummed as he made his way over to the kitchen. He felt like having something sweet. He pulled open the freezer and pulled out the last pint of ice cream.
He wondered at the feeling of the tub suddenly gaining weight in his hand. It was like it flipped to match him when he touched it. That explained why his hat wasn't somewhere on the floor in the living room, at least. Now for a spoon...
He couldn't reach the silverware drawer.
Emmet sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose before calling for Eelektross. All of his pokemon had fled to the farthest corner of the apartment while he was practicing rifts, but his trusty ace came when called.
"Hello Eelektross. I cannot reach the spoons. Can you please pass me one?" Emmet called down. He knew he could have figured out how to walk down the wall, but he was having fun. Also, the look on Eelektross' face was priceless.
Spoon acquired, Emmet opened up the pint and took a spoonful. It was vanilla. Ingo's favorite. For once, the reminder of his brother wasn't painful. Emmet was on a mission, and if all went well, Ingo would be coming home soon.
Emmet hummed as he ate his spoonful. It wasn't as good as dark chocolate or coffee flavor, but after hours of hard work, it hit the spot.
"What is this?" Giratina asked.
"Ice cream." Had Giratina never seen ice cream before? Probably not, if he had been trapped in the distortion world for centuries like he said. That was no good. "This is the first time I have eaten something since you became coupled to me, is it not? Can you taste this?"
"Unfortunately, no. While I am connected directly to your mind, I am not as connected to your body. It is like listening to a train that is several stations away."
"That is verrry sad. Here. How about you conduct. And you can have the ice cream." Emmet sat down and tried to mentally nudge Giratina forward.
He figured simply imagining himself stepping back wouldn't work, as visualization did nothing for the rifts he was trying to open. Instead, he tried to imagine how he felt when he took his hands off of the controls of a subway car and let the on-board computer take over. The knowledge that the train wouldn't crash without him commanding it.
Whether it was Emmet himself who triggered it or Giratina got the message, Emmet felt a bit of his awareness slip away. It wasn't as bad as he had feared. He was still conscious and aware, but everything was just a bit fuzzy. It felt like the transition from waking to sleeping, where everything was muted and cozy.
"I am Giratina." Words spilled from Emmet's mouth in a register far lower than what Emmet was comfortable making. "Thank you."
"No problem. Just enjoy your Ice cream, yup!"
Giratina wasn't exaggerating when he said he couldn't taste anything. Emmet only felt a whisper of cold and the barest hint of sweetness on his tongue as Giratina took his first bite. Emmet was sad they couldn't both enjoy it, but it was worth it for Giratina's reaction.
Giratina was speechless. Emmet knew the feeling, like words couldn't quite capture the intensity of your emotions. Instead, Giratina went back to expressing himself in pure thought, but with Emmet in the passenger seat, it didn't hurt like the first time they spoke. Emmet felt overcome by jittery joy, and he tried to flap the hand that wasn't holding the spoon.
Confusion rippled over their bond, and Emmet stopped. "Sorry. I did not mean to interrupt."
"It is fine. Did you want me to do something? Or did you want to conduct again?" Giratina questioned flatly, but Emmet could feel a hint of disappointment leaking from the other. Time to put a stop to that.
"I want you to try something. I like to do it when I feel happy. Maybe you will like it too." Emmet tried to move his right hand again, and Giratina felt the urge to move. He obliged, and he flapped his hand a few times at his side. Emmet could feel their grin grow wider as Giratina let out a giggle.
"You were right! This is nice."
Giratina finished off the rest of the pint with gusto, taking occasional breaks to bleed off excess energy into his hands. It was a little silly, but it was the fun kind of silly that made you want to laugh until your sides hurt. While Emmet couldn't taste much, he could feel Giratina's happiness as if it were his own, and that was enough for him. Emmet wondered what else he could get Giratina to try after they returned Ingo to his proper station.
Afterwards, they sat in companionable silence for a bit. Giratina soaked in everything his new senses could take while Emmet drifted.
The silence was broken by a knock on the door.
"Emmet? Are you home?" The voice on the other side was frantic with worry. Oh no. Emmet hadn't checked his Xtransceiver all day, had he?
"Emmet. What do I do!" Giratina hissed. In any other situation, it would be hilarious to hear the legendary pokemon so scared, but Emmet knew that he wasn't one to talk. Elesa was going to be furious with him. As it was, Giratina was probably feeling Emmet's panic on top of his own.
"That is my friend Elesa. Tell her she can come in. She has a key." Emmet tried to calm both of them down. Judging by Giratina's hesitance, it didn't work all that well, but Giratina complied anyway.
"Come in!" He yelped. His voice was almost high enough to pass for Emmet's. There was a long sigh and the clink of keys from the other side of the door.
"Dragons, Emmet, answer your Xtrans!" Elesa opened the door and stopped cold as she locked eyes with Giratina. "Emmet? Why the hell are you on the ceiling!?"
Oops. They forgot about that. Giratina wrung his hands and scrambled for an answer, but the vocal tic he picked up from Emmet popped out first.
"I am Giratina! I mean. I am Emmet?" Giratina spluttered. He didn't even resist as Emmet brought his hand up and facepalmed.

Ace Trappola and Malleus Summon Food Souls
Twisted wonderland X Food Fantasy
@sydney-trappola: I want ace or malleus to summon one. (Ace is jealous of deuce having one, and malleus because he is lonely)
Ace Trappola + Sandwich
Tumblr media
It had been a few weeks after Deuce accidentally summoned Eggette. The two seemed to get along well and even started acting like actual siblings.
"Aww Deuce and Eggette are getting along so well," Y/n smiled as Ace sat quietly next to them.
Y/n, Cater, and Ace sat in the shade of the tree while Grimm, Deuce, and Eggette stood in the field training their Magic.
"Deuce's magic skills have really been improving too since he got Eggette," Cater commented.
"Tch, I don't see that much improvement," Ace scoffed.
"Well maybe Eggette is probably a big help, but Deuce probably needs some strong magic to summon a power familiar like his," Cater said.
"What, I could totally pull it off too. Y/n hand me those crystals Deuce used," Ace said suddenly.
"Umm, why?" Y/n asked as they began to draw out the summoning circle on a piece of paper.
"To show that I can pull it off too, and it would be cool to have a familiar," Ace said simply.
"Oh boy, okay. First off don't see them as Familiars, but a partner of sorts. A fellow human who is there to help," Y/n explained.
"You gave the same speech to Deuce," Ace said.
"Then you better take those words to heart, cause not every food soul will be like Eggette," Y/n said. " Some may even be very dangerous."
Y/n handed Ace the crystal Amber and pulled Cater back a bit as Ace put the crystal down. Focusing a bit of magic, the summoned commended.
"Why did you let him do this again?" Cater asked.
"Cause I know Ace wasn't going to stop asking till I did," Y/n said as a figure appeared before Ace.
"Master Attendant, would you like to play a game of luck and skill? I am always ready," Said the food Soul Sandwich.
Ace and Sandwich's relationship is a strange one. The two were both lazy when it came to important things.
They would be seen often be playing card games or showing each other card tricks. Even playing pranks on students all over the school.
But there were times Ace would let his pride and stubbornness get the better of him. Mostly cause of Sandwich beating Ace in every possible bet.
Sandwich even tried to warn Ace about the rigged contract of with Azul, but Ace didn't listen to his food soul's warning.
"It seems that we will have to reshuffle." Sandwich sighed.
Sandwich in a way is like an older brother looking out for his brained celled younger brother. But will let things happen when Ace refuses to listen.
"Do you want to play cards? I really wanted to play together," Sandwich smiled.
Sandwich was accepted into Ace's family pretty easily. When the food soul wasn't lazing about, he is helping around the house or making the family's meals.
Over time Sandwich defiantly would become one of the few friends that can tolerate Ace's BS.
"Hey Ace," Sandwich called.
"Yeah, What's up?" Ace asked.
"You're probably one of the most amusing humans I've met in a long while. It seems my bet has finally paid off," Sandwich smiled as he lightly punched Ace's shoulder.
Malleus Dragconia + Double Scoop
Tumblr media
Malleus had seen many things in his long life, but these Food souls were defiantly something new and strange. He noticed that more and more students are starting to gain these strange familiars. He knew that most of these beings came from Y/n's world.
And Y/n themselves commanded many of these beings. As The prince of the Fae wandered the old ramshackle fields, he noticed some Food souls making their way back to the dorm. Something dropping out of their bags. Strange crystals and a summoning circle drawn on paper.
The close proximity of the components started the summoning. Malleus quickly dropped the paper as the crystals disappeared. Two figures emerged from the circle, Double Scoop.
"Which flavor of ice cream do you like? Are Vanilla and Strawberry okay?" Vanilla asked, only to turn to his brother. "Strawberry, say something too!"
"Um... Hello Master attendant," Strawberry said simply.
So, this was a very strange day For malleus. Having to return to the dorm with two food soul children in tow. Silver was indeed surprised, Sebek questioned who the intruders were, and Lilia was just happy to have new babies to take care of.
But The Food Soul's eyes were only for Malleus, Vanilla was a bouncing ball of energy by Malleus's side, and Will Strawberry just held onto the Prince's hand.
Malleus was a bit closer to strawberry, Cause he was a bit more on the quiet side, unlike Vanilla. Who Malleus was surprisingly okay with.
Vanilla was always the first to greet him back to the dorm with a big hug, or with some sort of small gift. With a warm smile and bubbling energy.
Strawberry is a little quieter and tends to help around the dorm and follow Malleus around the school from time to time.
"Shh, Master Attendant, don't let Vanilla see you, or else he'll get excited again," Strawberry whispered.
Even if Malleus was a bit closer to Strawberry, he found Vanilla surprisingly amusing and even reminded him a bit of Y/n. So he let things slide, that not even his close guards could.
"Oh, Master Attendant has returned! Strawberry, quickly go and welcome them in!" Vanilla smiled as he hugged Malleus.
"Ah, welcome back," Strawberry said as he held a tray with a tea set on it.
Sebek was not happy with how friendly these weird human food creatures were with the prince of Fae. So he would constantly scold Vanilla to not act so friendly around the Prince.
Sebek in a way was kind of jealous of the Food Soul and how close they were to Malleus.
______________________________
Double scoop was not so well received when they were brought to the valley of thorns. Many of the faes were unaware that the two were not human.
"What are those human Children doing, being so friendly and close," A noble Fae scoffed.
"I'm surprised that the Prince is even allowing filthy beings to stand so close to him," Another Laughed.
"Maybe they are just the Prince's new Pets," A third mocked.
So Lilia had to keep a close eye on the small food souls, so no other Fae goes kidnapping them.
Malleus's grandmother and parents were a bit confused by their child's new Familiars. But they could see the warmth the strange children brought their son and grandson.
Yet Malleus wasn't swaied by the whispers of his people.
"No matter who it is that you like, I only want to be by your side. That's enough for me. I think that Big Brother must also feel this way," Strawberry said with a small smile.
"If we three can be together like this forever, then that's enough," Vanilla smiled.
Malleus smiled as he lightly patted the twin's heads.

For wines, do you know/like Viognier? If so, what would be the next closest thing to it? Because Viognier is so hard to get near me. I legit have to drive over an hour and half to a guaranteed spot and then they only have like five selections. And I’m too afraid to ask at the store.
Viognier is not terribly common here (although i think it's grown more widely in other parts of California) so I haven't had it much...but if you like an oaked viognier then chardonnay will have that same oaky-vanilla flavor profile. I'm not a fan of most chardonnays but there are some that i find tolerable to pretty good.
If you're looking for unoaked viognier taste then idk........maybe look for a floral riesling? some kind of white blend? my knowledge of white wines is pretty lacking
but just ask the wine shop people! they are nice i promise! they want to help you! teaching people about wine is why they work at a wine shop! you are doing them a favor by letting them tell you about wine!
