#JELLO COLESLAW??????

[vaguelyhauntedcornfield]

Whoever gave the foods for that American food poll is clearly either west or east coast. No one from the south would slander good food like that, and no one from the midwest would neglect to mention the atrocities that every aunt or neighbor brings to potlucks. If you’ve suffered thru the mayo and jello based salads and the Frankensteined casseroles, you know they belong on there over grits, biscuits and gravy, and boiled peanuts. Also like, the basic white person from the suburbs meal of boiled/baked chicken, steamed broccoli, and steamed carrots, all with no seasoning…that should honestly have a spot too

#call me when you’ve had to eat ambrosia salad that ur classmate’s mom made in order to not hurt her feelings #it’s mayo coolwhip canned fruit cocktail shredded coconut and those mini fruit marshmallows #some people will tell you it’s yogurt not mayo but true midwesterners know it’s miracle whip or plain mayo #truly the worst thing ive ever experienced #green bean casserole too? like made with canned soup and frozen or canned green beans? #macaroni salad? that ur neighbor though was ok made with just mayo and mustard? #mayo-based potato salad? with hard boiled eggs in it? #that one popcorn salad????? that is literally an affront to all that is holy????? #JELLO COLESLAW?????? #ANYTHING SERVED AT A STATE FAIR?!?!?!?!?!?!? #oh also that one gross lime jello and cottage cheese abomination #look some of these *can* be good when made right #like macaroni salad and potato salad and green bean casserole #but they SO VERY RARELY made right and have ALMOST ALWAYS been sitting in the sun or ur aunts hot car for an hour+ #(im not gonna slander tatertot hotdish it’s good ok?) #also how are rocky mountain oysters not on that list #spray cheese too??? literally so many things to validly come for us over #velveeta??? like idk man there’s a lot out there #hot pockets lmao come for our hot pockets

Goemon HCs For his Birthday!

Forgets his own birthday. The gang tries to throw him a normal party but it becomes a surprise party because he straight up forgot it was his birthday.

Likes mildly sweet deserts and prefers ones that have fruit or tea flavors over vanilla and chocolate.

We know he sings to himself (looking at that YMCA scene from Danger! Goemon) I like to think he does that a lot when there’s downtime between heists like while cooking. I know it’s more of a singing in the shower type thing but singing while cooking is also pretty common.

he also gets music stuck in his head so easily, never give him TikTok or you’ll just have him repeating the trending out of the week under his breath.

Rides on the roof so often because the seat belt digs into his shoulder and it bugs him.

He cuts his own hair, just hacks at it when it starts to annoy him. This is why the length varies so much.

He canonically doesn’t like ketchup so other foods I think he doesn’t like:

cream cheese (especially in sushi)

root beer (people who didn’t grow up with it say it tastes medicinal. Like how Americans tend to react to black licorice)

Cottage cheese (it’s probably weird to people that didn’t grow up eating it)

Salsa (it’s the tomatoes and the chilis I just think the combo would weird him out)

Coleslaw

Macaroni Salad

Jello

Nutella & peanut butter

S’mores/marshmallows in general

shit sorry was late to answer this one JKHJGH

oh god he definitely forgets his own birthday JKHJGHFGGJHJ when the gang surprises him hes very confused

love the idea of him liking mildly sweet stuff,,,, too much sugar makes him feel icky

yES songs get stuck in his head very easily i think,,,

feel like hed cut jigen n fujiko's hair too hes somehow great at it

also YES feel like hed be kinda a "picky eater" but its mostly bc hes got sensory issues with food feel like hed still try new stuff to be polite but if he doesnt like it then he cant finish it, and he tends to not like american foods very much (much to jigen's disappointment KHJGF)

#//txt #//hcs #//inbx #goemon #autistic king goemon <3 #also thinking about goe havign too much sugar and sitting there n just. shaking like a chihuahua JKHJGHFG #so much energy from the sugar but he CANNOT express it

The jello mold is set and the coleslaw is done, so it's time for a quick nap before the Bonfire Night cookout.

Follyglass : Inheritance

When our grandfather talked about the red-on-white china set in his house, he reverently called it ‘our inheritance.’The porcelain shone from the darkened cupboard, and unlike other families I knew, we didn’t even take it out and use it on holidays; instead we ate our squash and turkey from plastic plates.

I never really saw what was so special about the china set; instead of lushly spangled roses and birds in ecstasy, these plates and teacups and bowls had old-timey scenes of bridges and creeks and trees. You know. Normal stuff that you could see if you just looked out the window. Just older. Sometimes, I thought that if the artist was alive now, she’d try to paint something like the tipping barn a few roads over or get all poetic and waste her talent painting a scene of Lou’s Pizza Shack. And I say that as someone who deeply respects Lou’s Pizza Shack.

And, get this, the china set isn’t even complete. We know this because grandpa would sometimes confess that “There are already quite a few pieces missing,” and he’d smile about it like it was an accomplishment.

My dad once told us that Great Aunt Delvey once broke a cup. He added that she seemed pretty happy about it, and I could only guess was that she thought the set was frogbutt-ugly, too.

So, yeah. The stupid set of china that wasn’t even pretty and had pieces missing and broken was, as grandpa put it to the family “Our glorious inheritance.”

But still, the older people in our family didn’t disagree. Well, except maybe Great Aunt Delvey, but she wasn’t around anymore to dispute it.

Not that I really said anything, but what I most disliked about the whole business was that my older brother never shared in the enthusiasm of the grown-ups in the family. I could only only conclude that he thought he would be skipped over if and when the china set was passed down, on account of him being adopted, and the set was only for - as grandma put it - “True Willoughby Family.” This only made me hate the whole thing more. If they didn’t consider Ty to be Willoughby, well then, I wanted to be skipped over, too.

Stupid plates. Stupid rules for a stupid inheritance.

But.

On Ty’s sixteenth birthday while everyone else was outside eatin’ hot dogs and coleslaw and shimmying jello birthday cake, the inside of my grandparents’ house was cool and quiet, and I sat undisturbed on the rough carpet in the den while I colored in some drawings. When the kitchen door opened, and I heard Ty’s voice and grandpa’s, I watched quietly. Unnoticed.

In a kindly way, Grandpa began explaining the history of the porcelain to Ty. How old it was. Who painted it. Why she painted it (the story : there used to be a whole Willoughby County in Maine, and before it all just poof disappeared, Hesta Willoughby began to paint all of everything she saw). And then I waited for Grandpa to say ‘sorry, son, you aren’t a true Willoughby, so no red plate for you, best I can do is this plastic cup and how about an already opened pack of hot dog buns?’ but he didn’t. Instead, Grandpa said to Ty, “Pick one, whatever you’d like. It’s yours and always will be. You’re a Willoughby, and I’m pleased to give you your glorious inheritance.”

Ty opened the cabinet and after a few moments, plucked out a saucer.

“Oh, that’s a good piece. Real good piece. You’re absolutely sure?” asked grandpa.

Ty nodded yes,“I like the clouds over the hills. Thank you.”

From where I was, I couldn’t tell if Ty really liked it or not. He was quiet. Perhaps being overly polite. Grandpa whispered something else to Ty and gave him a hug.

A week later, I found pieces of the saucer in Ty’s room. Smashed. I wanted to ask him, but never could, and I was doubly confused when Ty seemed the happiest he had ever been. “King of my castle,” he said, and Dad Jeff replied “Of course you are!”

It was enough to me that Ty had been given something, and thus was considered my brother through and through, so I didn’t guess at anything, which was hard. If he was happy, I was happy.

And I wasn’t bitter anymore. The pictures on the porcelain seemed friendlier. The red strokes became livelier. Sometimes I gazed into the cupboard and wondered when it was my time, what would I pick?

Years later, after I had stood in front of the cabinet and picked out a teacup (a pond with ducks and a willow) Grandpa hugged me and whispered “When you’re alone, smash it, trust me, kid, it’s your glorious Willoughby inheritance”

It was. I’ll admit I broke the rules in that I wasn’t alone. When me and Ty were out in the back on the rocks, I smashed the little red teacup and a world forgotten unfurled from the shards. The pond, the ducks, the willows…..it all ‘became’ in front of us, these pieces of memory rendered true and wild in tender red strokes. The hills beyond, and the skies above; it was all a glorious inheritance of a county that only existed anymore in our family’s hands, our own little Willoughby kingdoms.

And me and Ty set off in the red to go find the castle we could see in the distance.

Thoughts While Watching Gilmore Girls, Season 1/ Episode 11 ("Paris is Burning")

What happens in this episode: Rory starts getting used to Max. Lorelai goes to parents' day at Chilton and has A Talk with Max about their relationship and then they make out in a classroom and Paris sees them. Rory eats interesting school lunches. Two people sincerely apologize for being shitty. Lorelai and Max take a break. Sookie asks Jackson out on a date for the first time. PUPPIES AND NO DEAN.

Paul Anka chilling down there on the right. Poor baby waited another 5 years for the Gilmores to rescue him.

D'AWWWWWWWW. LG: "How many times did dean call tonight? RG: Not many...3...5." Lorelai:

Can't wait to suffer through her response that time Dean calls Rory FOURTEEN times in one night. Cmon Forrester, beat your own record. Lorelai's rooting for you.

Same, Emily.

Hearing things like this practically every day of their life definitely doesn't affect a person's psyche. The Gilmores buried this under a layer of pop culture references: Paris' parents are divorcing because her dad was caught with a prostitute.

What does Rory have against Baby Spice, specifically? Not the entire group. Just Baby Spice?

Paris sees Max and Lorelai swapping spit in a classroom. She proceeds to spread the hot goss all over school.

Chilton lunch is like fucking Thanksgiving. Restaurant-quality chicken, peas, macaroni and cheese, jello, coleslaw, and a literal glass of milk (not a carton, but an actual glass), served on china, with real silverware. And she hasn't eaten a bite. If you're not from the US, this is not a typical American school lunch, at least not in any public school anywhere. This is Emily and Richard's tuition money hard at work.

That lunch is pretty fancy, considering there was another episode where they served her two empty pieces of white bread for lunch.

I'm eager to get over this "Mean Girl Paris" hump and into "Paris Would Die For Rory" territory but sadly I know that's a long way off.

A fresh but less fancy, less filling Chilton lunch. I can't even determine what's supposed to be in that little bowl.

Not for another three years she won't. Just be patient Paris. Max tells Lorelai that he was admonished by Headmaster Charleston for making out with a parent in a classroom and the word "probation" was tossed around but ultimately he suffered no consequences (but Rory gets punished for being late for a test one time, lol) At the end of the episode, Lorelai and Max decide to take a break. The Good: PUPPIES! No Dean and minimal Tristan. Two sincere apologies for hurtful behavior. The drama was light and breezy. The Meh: Max Medina. Lorelai makes an insensitive comment to Sookie, but she does sincerely apoogize. Paris was a mean girl to Rory when deep down her heart beats for her, so she also eventually apologizes for hurting Rory and Max. The Bad: Dean calls Rory five times a night, and of course Lorelai thinks that's just adorable. Paul Anka looking sad in a cage. The New: Sookie asks Jackson on a date. The Confusing: Rory hates Baby Spice for some reason.

[ruki--mukami]

Hey Ruki,do you want a Spaghetti O Jello ring? It's Spaghetti O's in a gelatin. Some Ice Cream Coleslaw for desert would also prove my cooking skills.

"If you're going to learn how to cook, at least pursue a nutritionally satisfying dish, Livestock. These so-called 'SpaghettiOs' of yours, especially mixed with that of gelatin, is bound to taste awful enough that just remembering the flavor of it would inspire chills in anyone. I'd prefer not to be your taste tester for that. Instead, why don't you let me sample you instead? One advantage of feeding from humans is that it doesn't require kitchen preparation whatsoever... Now hold your neck out for me. I promise if you follow my orders then maybe, just maybe, I'll reward you with a meal you'll never forget. My prey should be well-nourished, after all. Don't be shy and do as I say."

Coleslaw anyone?

It's shocking sometimes how things can change without you ever being aware of it.  I was at a dinner get-together recently.  When we all went into chow down there was an assortment of different dishes of Coleslaw on the table.  One was a green coleslaw, another a purple, and I can't remember the rest.  I thought to myself: "What kind of dinner table features a variety of coleslaws?  What kind of people play up coleslaw?  Are Americans all of a sudden seeking out coleslaw?  I innocently tossed out how it was too bad no one could have brought a jello-based dish.  My mom used to make a concoction that had jello with fruit and whipped cream.  It was wonderful.  I lived during the height of Jello 1-2-3.  Yes, one jello with three layers.  It was magic.  I used to think David Copperfield must have invented it.  I'll be honest I don't like coleslaw and have always been a bit suspicious of anyone who does.  I don't know if I'm prepared to live in a world where people are clamoring for coleslaw.  Have you ever witnessed someone being invited to dinner and they're listing all the good things that'll be on the table and the invited person says "Stop, Please?  You had me at Coleslaw?"  Have you ever driven by a restaurant called "House of Coleslaw"?  Nope.  Remember the saying; "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach".  The rest of that quote is never mentioned.  "Except with Coleslaw".  Yep, that's true.  Why is it they never feature coleslaw on Masterchef?  Because no one would watch it.  I know some will say I'm a jerk for my opinion on coleslaw.  But be honest, no one goes out to eat and says "Honey I don't care where we go to eat as long as they have great coleslaw."  Sure they are many different types of slaw.  The Cabbage and Sprout Slaw, Smokey Pork Belly Summer Slaw, Chinese Duck Slaw.  Why no coleslaw sandwich?  Wouldn't that make a mess?  I never realized coleslaw cookbooks exist.  Betty Crocker has a Lost Recipes Coleslaw edition.  My suggestion is those recipes remain lost.  I know that was harsh to say.

Snack preference hcs because I'm bored and love the characters in this stupid game

Amara: Fresh, bright, healthy snacks. Fruit, jello cups, Popsicles - anything cold and refreshing, especially if it's fruity. Loves froyo on her cheat days. Gets strawberry yogurt with cake, more strawberries, and chocolate sauce as her regular.

Ava: Tortilla chips. Could live off of Tortilla chips and some dips. Favorite is Onion dip with hot sauce. Makes a dessert dip of chocolate and caramel that is...controversial to say the least.

Axton: If it's at night, likes a salmon dip with whole wheat crackers. Daytime? Jerky with gravy. Makes his own gravy, family recipe. It's absolutely addicting, everyone tells him he needs to cut the Vault Hunting and bottle that sh*t for market.

Brick: BEEF. BURGER. PATTY. COLD. (It's actually a protein wrap chock full of vitamins but that doesn't work for his reputation)

Maya: Makes killer soup. She makes a huge batch, puts it in the fridge, and pours a cup and puts that into the microwave for a quick bite. Really likes veggie based soups, or soups with seafood.

Moze: Something easy to throw together. It's usually great hang over food. Quesadillas, grilled cheese melts, microwave mac-n-cheese - something filling, savory, and comforting. And yeah, fond of cheese. Also likes peanut butter cookies with black coffee.

Moxxi: Candy. Grandma candy, specifically. Those strawberry things? Is the biggest buyer for them. Licorice is also a favorite. Anything spicy with cinnamon, as well.

Lilith: Gummy candies, cucumbers with tuna or chicken, or some unholy sandwich creation that makes you think she's high. Her tastebuds are f*cked from Phasewalk, now likes peanut butter and jelly with ham and provolone cheese. Her arguement is that peanut butter is savory like ham, and grape jelly is 'pretty much wine' and wine is good with cheese. It's horrible.

Mordecai: Dried meat. What the meat is, no idea. Could be skag, could be human. It's meat, it's impossible to chew, it has no flavor. The popular theory is that it's for Talon and he's softening it in his mouth. As for what he actually eats, likely part plant and feeds off of sunlight. God only knows.

Tina: Rock candy. Loves sour watermelon rock candy. Oh, and also spicy sweet potato chips. And cookies with tea, of course. Likes Chamomile tea and chai.

Zer0: Legends say you can find candy wrappers in their room. They just like cool wrappers. Collect limited edition foodstuffs just for the wrapper or can. Has a wall lined with soda cans with unique patterns.

Zane: Heathen man. Pours spices onto his hand and licks it. Likes stale gummy candy. Licks the salt off of crackers and gives the defiled things to Mr. Chew. Puts cheese and pineapple in shrimp ramen with oregano. Vile, vile, vile.

Krieg: His roasts are to die for, and he eats it cold from the fridge when he's peckish. Uses Pandoran ingredients like cactus honey, salty hail found in glaciers in the tundra, skag bone broth for marinating, and a blend of local herbs and spices. They put Axton's gravy on it one time and had a collective transcendent awakening. The combo is now banned, for anyone who tries it will never enjoy other food again.

Gaige: Girl stalks the clearance section of the bakery in supermarkets for cheap baked goods. Lives off of expired cupcakes.

Tannis: Doesn't snack, but enjoys a cup of tea in between meals. After breakfast, has a green tea. After lunch, chai, and after dinner, chamomile and lavender for bed. Sometimes has a shortbread cookie with it.

Troy: Depends on the week, position of the stars, his horoscope for his moon sign, and the tide. His taste in food cannot be tracked. Goes from eating something bizarrely plain to so complex you think you're having a stroke when you look at it. His inner circle have a game called "What The F*ck Is The God King Eating Now". His personal chefs say they black out when cooking for him. Whatever it is, he doesn't eat anything pre-prepared or from a wrapper. The one time he ate something identifiable, there was a conspiracy he had been replaced by a clone.

Tyreen: One time while she was eating, Troy asked her what she was eating, and she responded, "Your mom" without thinking about it. They didn't speak for a week after the incident and never mentioned it again. Still gets embarrassed about it.

Lorelai: Has not consumed anything but burgers and coffee for months. Please stop her. Her colon is about to pop out of her stomach and strangle her itself.

Hammerlock: Dark rye with tomatoes, basil, fresh mozzarella, and a tall glass of lemonade. It's a snack he's had since he was a boy and it hasn't lost its simple comfort.

Wainright: Fried tomatoes with a coleslaw and peach iced tea. Fried vegetables in general are underrated in his book, despite his father's attempts of trying to get him to accept meat superiority.

Clay: Moonpies and scotch. Time of day doesn't matter. This is bad because its a shot for every pie. And he can put away an absurd amount of them. However, there are only so many shots he can drink before he's pretty much dead to the world.

Fl4k: 101 recipes for birdseed, skag treats, and 'humanfeed' as they call it. Once tried making pancakes for Zane and Moze while they were both sick, gave them food poisoning with nutrient supplements meant for spiderants. The supplements was to boost immune system - hence why it was added - and, unfortunately, venom production. Ergo, making it toxic for humans who do not produce venom. Zane was paler than snow and Moze was beyond delirious. Fl4k felt horrible for months.

Salvador: Makes croquetas in bulk and has a handful when he needs a pick-me-up. Filling varies, but likes them with fish and potato. As for drinks, cannot survive without his grandmother's horchata recipe. Makes it for the whole team whenever it gets cold. Also likes lime soda with pickled vegetables.

Marcus: probably other passengers on the ship
