These asks are fun! I can’t wait to see what stories you have in the works 🖤

🍒What genres/tropes do you find yourself using most often?

🥝Who are your literary influences, and have they shaped your own writing?

🥕What's your favorite fic you've written, and why?

🍔What's a headcanon that hasn't made it into a published fic yet?

Thank you for sending this! It's like most of the gang's all back! Let's keep this craziness going for a while!

🍒What genres/tropes do you find yourself using most often?

My two favorite genres to write, as if it isn't obvious xD, Are adventure and Horror. For tropes, if these are tropes, I love Bitchy Banter, Strong Women Kicking Ass, Men Having a #BadTime, and Manly Men Doing Manly Things. I really can't get enough and although I should probably branch out more, I just love these so much I want to wallow in them over and over xD.

🥝Who are your literary influences, and have they shaped your own writing?

In terms of classics, I love Jane Austen and her banter and color, Alexandre Dumas for adventure and his epic thematics and penchant for revenge, and Poe for all things lovely, dark, and vibey.

For modern writers, my all time favorite is Wilbur Smith and honestly, if I could write like him, I would love it. That's my goal in life, truly. I'm enjoying Evie Dunmore at present. Crichton and Preston/Child are also favorites.

🥕What's your favorite fic you've written, and why?

Oh no. This is always impossible for me xD.

For Jacques: Wargrave Hall (This is truly almost finished. Sorry for the wait!). Here There Be Monsters

For Mills: Maneater. I need to write more for him!

For Flip: The Case of the Colorado Cannibal. The Devil Went Down to Dodge City.

For Kylo: Kylo the Malevolent co-written with the wonderful @babbushka

🍔What's a headcanon that hasn't made it into a published fic yet?

Flip is truly god awful in the kitchen. He has been almost permanently banned, with a few narrow exceptions. He does quite a good job at pancakes. The nickname 'Flip' comes from him flipping pancakes like a show off as a young fool and splattering himself with grease, thereby getting a round pockmark looking scar on his chest that he likes to lead people to believe is a bullet wound.

However, he is allowed to have a grill. Outside. Where the risk of burning the house down drops from extreme to moderate. He can grill steaks like a bad ass. He deadpans that it's part of some primal male instinct that involves bloodlust and hunting and fire. Or some horseshit along those lines. His culinary skills begin and end at grilling meats. Occasionally, he can add cheese to a burger without incident, but he knows better than to venture further out than that. It can't be denied that his steaks and burgers are to die for. Or as he puts to you when it's just the two of you, they're good enough to orgasm for, and he will make sure you do. When he really wants to wine and dine you, he will cook in just his jeans with his tits out for your viewing pleasure. When he's feeling funny, he will wear a frilly apron over his jeans and bare chest and let you laugh at him.

In my canon, Nicholas Mills is an ex fighter pilot. He was a bad boy growing up, the rebellious sort who wouldn't cut his hair or go to church or respect authority simply because it was authority. This disagreement came to blows several times with his father. Mills never struck the old man back, but it was sufficient provocation that he could restrain his father even with a broken nose to ship him off to the military to get his ass straightened out. Mills hated it, every second. He wasn't suited to the authority and the rules. But all that stayed on the ground when he took off in a jet. The freedom he felt from the first time he climbed into the cockpit was euphoric. He put up with the rules and the authority and the bullshit, even the horrible haircut, just so he could feel that freedom, chase the high that only came with flying.

After leaving the military and a nasty divorce after that, Mills was thoroughly sick of rules and regulations and authority and fucking people in general. He was smart enough to keep a separate bank account and stash away enough money to buy a plane of his own. You could say Mills skipped town. Skipped the country actually. All the way to Northern British Columbia. Someplace he can be left alone and unbothered, living the life he wants. He makes a surprisingly good living as a bush pilot, running supplies out to folks even more remote than him and flying out sportsman and outdoorsmen into the wilderness, and the occasional rescue job.

Never in a million years did Mills expect to meet a knockout like you out on one of these runs, his dream girl. And now, he's the only man who has a chance in hell of getting you both out of the wilderness alive.

I may have a fic like this in the works...

Jacques is an avid reader. He's educated and quite an intellectual, although he likes to downplay that arrow in his quiver. It pays to be underestimated. He enjoys poetry most of all and he's more of a sucker for flowery prose and romantic ideation than he openly admits. When he gets caught, he blames his interest in poetry as a necessary skill developed to get under women's skirts.

Once he's close enough to let his guard down, he will reveal his favorites and tell you how you've been in every line he's ever read. He loves to read to you. In the beginning, this was a way to seduce you into bed. It has since become his way to lull you to sleep when you're already in bed or to help you unwind while sprawled out by the fire.

He will read your favorite books with you or begin a new one together that you chose just to share the experience with you. It goes without saying that whenever you get inspired by a particular scene, Jacques is not only happy but eager and enthusiastic to act it out with you. He will invariably put the male characters to shame.

People say you learn something new every day, so what did you learn today? Hmm. Nothing so far, but the day is young.

If you could get your own house with one friend, who would you pick? I don’t have any friends. Also, I am perfectly fine still living at home with my family. It’s best for me right now.

Which is worse, too-tight clothes or much too-loose clothes? I like my oversized tees, they’re comfy, but they’re not so oversized that they’re like falling or hanging off me and I have to continuously pull them back up and fix them. That would be super annoying. I also wouldn’t want my clothes to be too tight cause that’s not comfortable either. I like my leggings and jeans to be skinny fit, but they don’t feel tight. I used to like my shirts and hoodies and whatnot to be form fitting, but like I said I prefer oversized now. ANYWAY, basically I’m trying to say it’s gotta be just right; not too tight or too loose.

Which do you prefer: french toast, bagels, pancakes, waffles, or cereal? I like ‘em all. It’s been awhile since I’ve had any of them, though.

Do you think you are more of a good or bad influence? I don’t feel like someone who people should or would be influenced by. I’m not doing anything influential. I’m a mess.

Yes or no: eyebrow piercings? No for me.

Yes or no: thongs for men? They can wear whatever they want, but I personally would say no.

What is something that you are willing to fight for? Love.

If you jump, can you touch the ceiling of the room you’re in? I can’t jump.

Do you know how to dance a waltz? Nope.

When I say The Beatles, what is the first song that comes to mind? I Want to Hold Your Hand.

If you had to be a teacher, what subject would you be able to teach best? English.

Which do you think is worse: ear aches or tooth aches? I haven’t really had an earache, but toothaches are absolutely horrible. It’s just a continuous throbbing.

How many different colors are you wearing right now? What are they? Just black and gray.

In your opinion, what is the very worst type of weather? Summer weather. I’m just hot and miserable the whole time.

Do you look anything like your best friend(s)? My best friend is my mom, who I do look a lot like.

You can only listen to one band for the rest of your life, who do you pick? Linkin Park.

Are there any movies coming out that you’re looking forward to? Which ones? I want to see this new movie coming out called, Unhinged. I was really looking forward to Halloween Kills this year, but it got moved to next year. D;

Do you like big or small cars better? A 4-door like a Honda or something is just fine. I don’t need a SUV.

What is your favorite made up animal? I don’t have a favorite made up animal.

Yes or no: Coffee Ice cream? Sure.

What store do you get the majority of your shoes from? Adidas’ website.

What place, in your mind, is heaven on earth? How about hell on earth? A nice beach/a desert.

Do you think there is anything scary about midnight? No?

Can you snap with both of your hands? Yep.

In your opinion what is the absolute worst house chore? I don’t particularly enjoy any of them.

How young do you think is too young to get married? Certainly under 18, but I’d even consider 18 to be too young. As long as you’re two consenting adults then I guess that’s your decision to make, though.

Who do you think is the dumbest superhero? And the coolest? Maybe it was the movie that made me feel this way, but one that comes to mind is Shazam. As for the coolest, I’d say Iron Man.

Would you rather be a hair stylist or a clothes designer? Ha, I don’t even style my own hair. I’ve never been good at it and now I just don’t even have the energy to do anything other than throw it up in a bun or pony tail. I wouldn’t make a good clothes designer either; I don’t have the creativity or skill for that.

What is something that you had to learn the hard way? There are certain things that won’t just go away--I can’t just ignore them and they’ll magically get better.

If you could re-paint your bedroom, what color would you paint it? Rose gold.

What is something you’re proud of yourself for? I don’t know. :/

Which smiley face do you like better: =] or :) :)

If you could go to any amusement park right now, which would you go to? I miss Disneyland.

What is something that always gets you mad? I get irritated and frustrated quite easily, but it takes a lot to make me mad.

Would you rather be 3 inches taller or shorter than you are now? Taller.

If you could have any wild animal as a pet, what would you pick? If it were acceptable, safe, and I lived somewhere with acres of land with plenty of trees and shrubs, I’d love to have a giraffe.

Which do you prefer: M&M’s, Skittles, Milk Duds, or Reese’s Pieces? Reese’s Pieces and M&M’s. I’m not a fan of fruity candy and Milk Duds just get stuck in your teeth and they’re not even good.

Are there any foods that you think smell good, but taste bad? Yeah, but of course I’m failing to think of an example at the moment. I know there is, though.

Would you ever stay overnight at any of your neighbors houses? Uh, no. I don’t know any of my neighbors.

Do you think it would be funner to play a hero or the villain in a movie? I think playing the villain would be more fun.

What was the last new food you tried? Did you like it? I don’t remember - I’m not very adventurous and I don’t try many new foods. <<<

If you had the last name of your favorite actor, what would your name be? Skarsgard.

Diner Adventures (F)

Rated F

Wordcount 1919

---

The diner was almost empty, except for a few patrons here and there. A young woman stood behind the long counter. While another was serving some people pancakes. They had decided on it, because Jeongguk had craved some American food. Although they were in the Netherlands. The wings tour had taken them across Europe in their final stages. And one of their many stops had been Amsterdam. Namjoon went to the counter to order for them, the woman smiling brightly as she jotted down their order. Returning to their group he told them, how much he loved the European countries sometimes. Seokjin knew that Namjoon couldn't use his English, as much as he could when they were on tour. And that he always felt he was actually starting to lack in it. Fearing to not be able to communicate with a wide range of their fans due to it. But he would always reassure the leader, that his English was damn perfect.

The young waitress who'd been turned with her back to them, was wearing a cute pink shirt. Her white skirt overlapping the hem of the pink shirt. Knee high socks and tennis shoes, gave her a cute and preppy feel. While her hair was put up in a high ponytail, that swished back and forth with her movements. The other was dressed in a baby blue shirt, the rest obscured by the high breakfast bar. Her blonde hair in a messy bun atop her head. Other than that the diner was kept in American style. Reminding them of late nights after concerts in some diner in Chicago or New York. “Hey (Y/N), do you wanna play that song?” the woman behind the counter asked her coworker. She was drying glasses and lining them up in the shelves behind her. The woman came bounding to the counter and leaning over it. The skirt was riding up a little, but long enough to cover her butt. They would never really get used to the fashion differences in the other countries. Her back was still to the boys, so they could only read the name printed across her back.

And then the first notes of a very familiar song were filling the diner. Namjoon was the first who was looking from the women, to the speakers scattered in the corners of the diner. It was soft and more of a background music, than offensively in your face. “You seem to like the song, just as much as I do” the woman with her back to them said. Even though they could not understand what she was saying, the cheeky note hinted at some teasing. “I have no idea what they are singing. But they're some good damn singers...” the other shrugged her shoulders. Their conversation stopped by the ringing of a small bell. The wall behind them had a window, without glass. As in to push food over the counter, giving it even more a diner feel. There were a few plates and the one behind the bar, handed them to the girl called (Y/N). Skillfully she piled them in her hands, turned around and skipped carefully over to the table of the boyband. The were wearing masks and hats. But they wouldn't be the first celebrities in Amsterdam, so she didn't seem phased by their appearance.

Jimin had been in the process of drinking from his glass of water, when he almost choked on it. Facing them now, the young girl showed them the front of her shirt. The baby pink, was broken by a swirl of white letters traced by black ink. It spelled across her chest and a little skewed. “EAT JIN” a pair of chopsticks piercing the N. She smiled brightly at them, her ponytail so long that some locks swirled over her shoulder and down her chest. A curl falling over the E, so that it looked a little like “AT JIN” instead. She asked who ordered what and laid down the order in front of the right person. Then she asked them whether she could do them anything good, aside from that. Namjoon asked for another Coke, to which she replied with “Right away”. And off she was again. “Did you see that hyung?!” Namjoon asked. His eyes, as well as those of the rest of the group, were glued on him. Seokjin on the other hand, seemed still frozen in place. He would have never thought, to find someone having his sequence printed on a shirt. Let alone wearing it out and in the open. Aside from it being in his favorite color and absolutely adorable on that young girl. Making him wonder if he was her favorite in the group. He couldn't help but really want to be her bias, after seeing that shirt.

The shocked dam was broken and the dongsaengs were in full swing of teasing their hyung. Taehyung was in the middle of creating a poem with the waitress name. When the bell above the door rang. A young man entered, wearing a black shirt with some white writing on the back. He passed their table and walked over to the breakfast bar. “Your girl is in the back getting some soda. Can I do you anything good?” the woman behind the counter asked, done with drying glasses. “Nah....” he chuckled. Namjoon was paying attention to his waffles, when he turned to look around. Sometimes he liked to observe people around him. A few times it had given him great inspiration for his lyrics, or even melodies. People were walking stories to be told in his opinion. So when his eyes caught the words on the back of the man's shirt, he frowned. They were just too familiar and he couldn't pin point where he'd read them. Until it downed on him and it was his turn to choke on his waffles. Jeongguk the ever good dongsaeng, patted his back and offered him a sip from his own glass of water. “What's with all of you and choking today?” Jin sounded worried, but there was also a hint of amusement. “Hyung...” Namjoon's voice still sounded a little rough from the coughing. But he was nudging Yoongi with his foot and pointing at the guy.

The young woman who's name they knew by now was standing next to him and pressing a kiss to his lips. So they were a couple. But that wasn't what Namjoon had been aiming to show. “The back” he spoke very low and whispered, so they others wouldn't be alerted to their staring. In beautiful Korean lettering stood “난 미친눔 비트 위의 루나틱랩으로 홍콩을 보내는 my tongue technology” the last three words in english. Yoongi would have choked on his food or drinks, if he'd be anything like his other band members. Instead he rose one eyebrow, then another. Until he couldn't help but the surprise to have his lips parting. He was speechless and that rarely to never actually happened. There was literally a guy, who had his lyrics from AgustD on the back of his shirt. The girl was putting her apron behind the counter and skipped over to her probably boyfriend. His arm around her waist said it all. And then the last shocker for the day came. *“자기, 퇴근하셨어요?”, **“네, 그렇습니다! 하지만 난 피자 때문에 배 고파 죽겠어!”. Their conversation was interrupted by the woman behind the counter. “You're doing that, just to piss me off” she said, no malice in her words though. It was more humor than anything and she was speaking English instead of Dutch.

The young man laughed and nodded his head. “You are so easy to tease, but I just wanted to know if I can steal her away now.”. The girl was still smiling brightly and leaning into the side of her boyfriend. “We're going to probably argue over pizza, which of our biases is the best” she said. “You are the least couply couple I have ever met. You should be a fanclub and not a couple” the woman was still speaking teasingly and the other two were in on the joke, tilting their heads and acting as if they were thinking about it. “She's right... your love for Suga, will ruin this relationship one of these days....” (Y/N) said. Her boyfriend only took the snapback from his head, shaking out his jet black hair and putting it back on. “Like your love for Seokjin, isn't going to influence our pizza toppings...” he retorted. “She's a horrible cook, but she'll still try to recreate his recipes from the fancafe” he let the woman behind the counter know. “At least her boyfriend can cook..... We're still on for next Friday right?” the two nodded. He took the hand of his girlfriend and lead her out of the cafe. They could catch one last glance of the front of their shirts. Agust D was printed on the shirt of the boyfriend, while they could watch “EAT JIN” for one final time. “Now I'm jealous....” Taehyung murmured into his waffles. “I am too.... I want a girlfriend that cute as well...” Jimin said, leaning against Taehyung's side. “I actually meant the T-shirts... I want a fan that has something of me on their shirt as well...” he said and looked at Seokjin and Yoongi with a massive pout, as if they could change the fact. “But aren't they cute? They're a couple and they're fan of hyungs.... And they seem happy....” Jeongguk said after taking a big bite of his pancakes. Not even bothering to portion the bite. Namjoon was done with his food and leaning back in the booth. “She liked Spring day...” he commented with a proud smile. He'd put a lot of effort into the melody and worked closely with the other producers to create a great title track. “I wouldn't have guessed to see a fan like that... it's sad we can't show ourselves and you know...” Yoongi nodded at Seokjin's words. They weren't exactly unknown and a commotion would have done no one good. But it was still nice to see their fans. And if he was swelling with pride,over a male fan having lyrics of his on his shirt. Well he wouldn't say out loud, but damn did that feel good. “Her Korean was impressive” Hoseok said and picked a strawberry from Yoongi's plate, he let him. He'd put them aside for Hoseok anyway, he loved strawberries. “He was Korean though wasn't he?” Taehyung asked. “He could have been” the conversation went to the shirts a little and then back to the rest of the day they had planed for the little time, they had in Amsterdam. And if their hyungs were in a much better mood than they had ever been before, none of them would tell. It was nice to see them appreciated and happy. The best moments in life, always came in unexpected situations and to unexpected times. But they were always appreciated.

The Shirt says the lyrics of AgustD “Agust D” “I'm the crazy guy, the lunatic on beat. Sending listeners to Hong Kong with my rap, my tongue technology”

.The two were saying(or i was trying to make them say)

*”Honey, are you done?”

**”Yes I am! But I'm starving for some pizza!”

SPECIAL THANKS TO @hope-on-my-street for requesting such lovely stuff <3

The Food Regions of Vietnam

Vietnamese cuisine is famous for its blend of flavors, fresh seafood, and generous use of herbs and vegetables. The food has drawn from Chinese, Thai, and French influences while maintaining its own unique cultural flavor the result is a style that is district, memorable, and absolutely delicious.

The geography and culture of Vietnam has given rise to three separate food regions across the country, and each area serves up its own array of dishes that have to be tried while you’re there. You don’t want to miss these delicious specialties, so take note here’s what you need to know to have some of the best foods possible while you’re traveling in Vietnam.

The Northern Region

Northern Vietnam is characterized by green mountains and high altitudes. It is the coldest region of the country, and so there are less available spices. This doesn’t mean less flavor, though! They use black pepper in place of chili, and they carefully blend their sweet, salty, spicy, bitter, and sour flavors for lightly balanced meals.

It can get cold up in the mountains through those winter months, so families have traditionally gathered around a charcoal stove to make slow-cooked stews. The broth is kept on a long boil with fresh vegetables and meat thrown in, and everyone stays cozy and warm.

The North is also influenced by their Chinese neighbor, so here you’ll find lots of stir fries and the use of chopsticks. The preference here is for noodles, rather than rice, so you’ll see lots of vermicelli with the meals here.

We love Vietnamese food too much

Sample Local Food in Sapa

Bun Rieu @Alpha

They use lots of freshwater fish and seafood, such as prawns, squid, crabs, shrimp, and clams– expect to find lots of crab-centered dishes here, it’s a favorite! They flavor their food with fish sauce, soy sauce, prawn sauce, and lime juice.

Vietnamese culture came out of the northern mountains, and many traditional Vietnamese dishes originated in this region of Vietnam. While you’re in the area, make sure you try these tasty classics:

Bun Rieu: a tomato broth soup with shrimp or crab paste and rice vermicelli

Banh Cuon: pork, mushrooms, and minced shallots rolled up in a thin rice sheet and dipped in your choice of sauce

Cha Ca: fish fillets pan-fried with turmeric and dill and served on top of rice vermicelli

Banh Cuon @butforthesky.com

The Central Region

The last royal dynasty in Vietnam made its capital in the city of Hue in the Central Region, and the cuisine that comes from this part of the country is truly fit for a king. The foods here are colorful, decorative, and complex. The portions are smaller, but the number of courses is larger you can expect to be served all sorts of appetizer-sized dishes.

Bun Bo Hue @Alpha

The Central Region is also known for all of its spices. Strong, bold flavors distinguish the food here. I hope you like a little heat with your meal, because the food here can be very spicy! Go for lots of chili peppers and shrimp sauce to add that extra oomph to your meal.

Don’t miss these Central Vietnamese dishes:

Bun Bo Hue: A spicy soup with beef, vermicelli, and lemongrass

Banh Xeo: A savory fried pancake made of rice and stuffed with pork, vegetables, and herbs and dipped in a special soy sauce

Nem Nuong: Grilled pork meatballs, marinaded in a fish sauce and served on skewers

Banh Xeo @stu_spivack

Southern Vietnam

The Southern region of Vietnam has sunshine and fertile crops, and that lends flavor and variety to their cooking. The diets in the south are very green. The food here is full of fresh, natural goodness– tropical fruits, leafy vegetables, and an abundance of seafood provide a rich, healthy, and delicious range of dishes to choose from.

Chao Tom @Ron Dollete

They use generous amounts of garlic, shallots, and herbs in their dishes, the open coastline provides crab, fish, squid, and shrimp, and the Southerners have the biggest sweet tooth, so coconut milk or sugarcane is used in many dishes to sweeten things up.

In the south, don’t expect the stews or stir-fries of the north. Instead, try some of the grilled seafood or the fresh veggies they have to offer. Thai, Cambodian, and Indian cuisine have all traveled over and added to the flavors. Meals are served with rice and fish sauce spiced up with chillies so dig in!

Get ready for some truly delicious treats. Try these meals when you’re in Southern Vietnam:

Chao Tom: Grilled shrimp wrapped around sugarcane, served with herbs, garlic, and dipping sauces

Com Tam Sai Gon: ‘Saigon-style Broken Rice’ is rice with grilled pork served with vegetables and prawns

Banh Bot Chien: A fried rice cake with onions, eggs, and often garlic and chillies, served with a tangy soy sauce

Com Tam @Ron Dollete

So now you’ve got an idea of what kinds of food you can expect while you’re traveling in Vietnam. Be prepared to shock and delight your taste-buds, because Vietnamese food is absolutely delicious! The Vietnamese are creative with their ingredients, and more often than not, the street food is going to be the tastiest bang for your buck. So be adventurous, try some new flavors, and let us know what your favorites are!
