i desperately wish gw2 had more food-centric lore. i think about asura food more than is probably particularly reasonable. they're sort of implied to like molecular gastronomy in the lvl500 chef quests which is fitting and makes sense, but surely not every asura is eating bespoke Pea Spheres day in and day out right? i think my favorite angle on them is a sort of 50s-80s american-esque food style where there's a huge emphasis on things being Convenient and Scientific, so you'd get a lot of absolute slop tv dinners and canned items that have labels boasting how they were nutritionally fortified and contained your day's complete vitamin intakes and so on. a lot of jellied things. i do also fully believe they would have + eat soylent.

Got any re8 Heisenberg headcanons? (I definitely am so normal about him)
Don't worry, I'm completely normal about him too.
Ethan works with Karl to stop Miranda, but they aren't exactly friends after that, but they learn to like each other.
Chris was originally was going to put Karl into the military as a living bioweapon, but with enough convincing. Ethan got him to just let stay with him and Rose. They're roommates now.
Karl is thankful for Ethan to help him avoid that fate, but he is still frustrated on how his life is in someone's hand. Now he has to listen to Ethan or run the risk of being killed or weaponized. So the anger is the living arrangement is mutual.
Karl tends to be untrusting of everyone, like a feral stray dog. So Karl stays in the basement and minds his business.
Ethan and Mia had a mutual divorce, The relationship was built on rocky ground, and they understand that. But what Mia doesn't understand is why Ethan would have this moldy hobo live with him, and frankly- he doesn't know either.
Karl was a stinky man. His hands are rough and dry, chipped sharp nails that seem to always have something underneath them despite that fact of him wearing gloves most of the time. He covered in a layer of grease, sweat and car oil, smells like copper, gasoline, sweat, cigars, rain dew and a hint of mold and rot. LOVEY ISN'T IT! A sensory overload dream. His hair WILL make a crunchy noise if touched, and don't bother trying to comb through it.
Ethan made sure that his mf got a shower with some actual soap. He may look the same but trust in the fact if you were in a room with him, you'll actually be able to hug him without getting high from the gasoline.
Karl's hair gets so fluffy when conditioned.
It took months before Ethan trusted Karl in watching Rose or let alone hold her.
Karl LOVES sweets.
He originally didn't know about Home Depot because Ethan was worry that there will quickly be no Home Depot.
There's no longer a Home Depot.
Heisenberg will melt when he hears Rose's first words.
The day that Heisenberg finds out what a Samsung fridge is- IT'S OVER!
Heisenberg lived off of military ration meals till now, so he has to resort to the next best thing here: hungry man TV dinners. And kid cuisine when Rose goes into solid food.
HE CAN COOK! To be particular, grill. But he's kinda going through that depression that led you to not take care of himself.
Karl HATES the rain, It rusts all his metal, and he is in content risk of getting struck by lightning, He's a living lightning rod. Ethan tries to be nice and help him by giving him a rubber rain suit, leading him to wear three layers of protection: fishing overalls, rain boots, raincoat, rubber gloves, rain hat and a rubber poncho.
You can hear him from a mile away with all that rubber squeaking.
Heisenberg surprisingly was a virgin for a long time, and it makes sense. He was too busy in his factory to be with anyone romantically nor platonically, let alone get laid. He never really cared till he thought about it now, especially when Ethan has living proof that he fucked. *CUT TO FUNNY KARL SPEED DATING SEQUENCE* this is probably a very sharp contrast to others hc of karl but idc it's my hc
Heisenberg and Ethan have that opposite attract dynamic, Karl gets to teach him that life doesn't end or need to be tense just because they're mole zombies. While Ethan teaches Karl to unpack his years trauma, cuz that shit will come to haunt you.
Ethan found some room for Heisenberg to sleep upstairs instead.
Eventually Ethan gets so close with Heisenberg he actually starts calling him by his first name.
That was noticed by Mia and Chris, which made them nervous in where Ethan loyalty would lie when something were to happen.
Heisenberg never had clean water before, so just imagine him with the crisp 3am water.
Chris only allows Karl to experience the outside monthly. But Ethan sneaks Karl with him when he can. As long, he doesn't scare anyone in town.
Karl is like a caveman entering the present day, He's culture shock is out of this world.
He loves the phrase "metal as fuck."
When Karl has a nightmare he rearrange his room to push all the metal out or nap in the living room. When Karl and Ethan got closer he started sleeping in Ethan's room. Even though their hearts beat slow, the human warmth is still there.
Karl never wants to talk about what his nightmare was about or why he feels better sleeping in a room with less metal.
Here some songs that I always relate to Heisenberg:
Now I'm about to go into what my hc is for Heisenberg before re8.
tw body horror and child abuse
I have the headcanon that Karl wasn't from the village, but his family was. He was born in the states and unknowingly has the genes that make him very susceptible to the mold mutation. Eventually, after his grandfather died and passed the factory/mines to his parents, they all moved to Europe. Explaining the contrasting transatlantic accent.
But like all things, Miranda had to ruin. She noticed the newcomers of the village; she saw how they also have a child and decided to take action. Miranda killed Karl Heisenberg's parents and took him in to experiment on with the cadou parasite.
His gift was unknown till one check up later after all of his complaints of feeling of something tearing into him. Miranda realized that there seems to be scraps of metal like nuts and bolts dug and tear through into his body to his bones like a magnet.
When he's in is REM sleep, his electromagnet powers moves and attract scraps of metal to him. Leaving him to wake up with blood on his sheets, but the wound already healed like nothing happened. But Karl does know it feels harder to move every day.
Miranda made sure to test him on his gift. He looks completely human and is powerful, he was almost perfect… The one single flaw in him is the fact that even as a helpless child that had no one else to rely on but her. He still hated her.
Heisenberg was the youngest of the four lords and the favorite, and he hated it. Dude would just spend all his time by himself, leaving himself tape recorders. He eventually started to entertain himself as if he was a radio host. The theater kid possesses him.
Eventually when he got older he got into contact with The Duke and was able to purchase tapes and machinery scraps from him. The tapes turned out to be American documents of ww2, leading Heisenberg to his American freedom fighter rhetoric.
When he detransform from his big monster form, he has to go get a lil help. He has to get rid of the pieces of metal without just tearing off pieces of his flesh, That shit is hard to grow back you know!

What do you think is Tenma's and others' favourite food and drink?
Ooh, favorite foods! Okay so please bear with me, I’m not familiar with Japanese cuisine but I’ll give it a shot!
First, the first-years! Tsurugi has a sweet tooth, but he wouldn’t admit it even on pain of death and only Yuuichi knows because Tsurugi believes it’d take away from his reputation otherwise. He loves rice cakes, especially with fillings. He’s also a fan of dried beans covered with sugar.
Hikaru is also a major fan of sweets and is willing to try whatever's offered to him, but his absolute favorite is coffee jelly. He can sometimes be bribed with sweets if necessary. To finish up the sweet tooth trio, Aoi loves any type of cake, although she prefers milder tastes instead of super sweet. She and Hikaru go out to cafes to try out their menu and manage to drag Tsurugi along eventually, although he’ll pretend to come along just to humor them. These three are also the biggest fans of going to Tenma’s place, because Aki usually has some homemade baking ready.
Shinsuke really likes onigiri, it’s simple yet tasty, and easy to share with friends. No need for any fancy dishes for him! He’s also a fan of sweets, although not as bad as the three mentioned above, and he likes fruit-flavored soy milk.
Kariya likes takoyaki the most! It’s pretty easy to get, so he likes treating himself to it if he’s done well on a test or something, or if he’s just in the mood. Since he lives in an orphanage, food options are dependent on whatever gets prepared there, so while the food is good he doesn’t really have any input in dinner. Makes it extra nice to get takoyaki as a snack for himself!
If asked, Tenma’s favorite food is whatever Aki prepares because her cooking is amazing, but his favorite dish would be gōyā chanpurū, Okinawan stir fry. He’s loved it since he was young, and now that he lives in Tokyo, it reminds him of home. He also enjoys sweet snacks, particularly mitarashi dango and sata andagi (which is also from Okinawa, and he loves it for similar reasons).
Onto the second-years! Hamano loves sashimi (raw fish), but he doesn’t really have a preference for a specific type. He also likes taiyaki, fish-shaped cakes, not only because of the taste but also because they’re, well, in the shape of a fish. He and Hayami often get some if they're hanging out after school, most often with red bean paste or custard filling. Although Hayami likes taiyaki too, he prefers gyõza (Japanese dumplings). He’s also a pretty big tea fan, especially green tea, which he has in common with Shindou.
Speaking of - everyone knows Shindou is a rich kid. Influential, loaded family that goes to operas and pays for private tutoring outside of school and eats at a five star restaurant every other month. And yet, ironically, his absolute favorite food turns out to be homemade ramen from Rairaiken (after his friends have introduced him to it, of course). He likes to experiment with toppings and is delighted whenever he finds a new combination he enjoys.
Kirino’s favorite food is sushi, also because there’s such a wide variety of it, and he can pick whatever he feels like at that moment. Luckily for him, he’s best friends with rich kid Shindou, and whenever they hang out at his manor, the staff knows to prepare sushi. Kirino takes full advantage of this and claims it’s payment for dealing with Shindou’s soccer strategy ramblings. Just like Shindou and Hayami, he likes green tea, but he prefers royal milk tea.
Nishiki picked up a love for Italian cuisine during his time abroad. He loves ravioli (stuffed pasta) and he’s got a preference for ciabatta bread. He’s lucky enough not to be lactose intolerant like many other Japanese people, and he absolutely LOVED spending time in a country with countless cheese options, in which Japan is, unsurprisingly, lacking. He’s cooked for his friends a few times and it was a pretty big success.
Midori and Kurama, surprisingly enough, share their favorite food: kushiyaki, skewered and grilled foods. Midori loves grilled pork skewers, whereas Kurama’s favorite are grilled vegetable skewers. Midori likes other types as well, but Kurama’s a picky eater so he'll stick to his vegetables, thank you very much.
Akane can usually be found with various types of bread in her bento, the specific kind switching every day. It’s her favorite snack and she usually brings some to eat during afternoon practice. Her favorites are melonpan and anpan (filled with red bean paste). She brings enough for the entire team as a treat if they’ve won a particularly hard match. She also really loves bubble tea (her favorite is honeydew milk tea), and often drags Aoi and Midori along. Aoi’s favorite is matcha milk tea, and Midori’s is black milk tea.
Aoyama, as mentioned in the AR one-shot collection, is obsessed with noodles. His favorite is kitsune udon, but he likes switching it up so he also orders other dishes quite regularly. Ichino also appreciates udon and other noodle foods (he doesn’t really have a choice, being best friends with Aoyama), and he’s also a big fan of shaved ice.
Finally the third-years! They’ve actually got a pretty big thing in common there: they all prefer the company over the food, really. Sangoku, for example, doesn’t really have a favorite food. He loves cooking, and cooking for others, and he’s a fan of trying out new recipes, although he favors traditional Japanese meals. He originally taught himself how to cook because his mother is usually busy with work, but discovered a love for it and he likes seeing his friends enjoy his food. He does really enjoy a good cup of green tea, though, like Shindou and Hayami.
Next, Kurumada! If asked, he claims he likes going to yakiniku (grilled meat) restaurants with his friends most. He thinks it’s tasty, and he likes having multiple options for food and being able to just get whatever he’s in the mood for at the time. It’s only made better by the company, although inviting his team along has been known to end in chaos.
Amagi’s favorite food is katsudon, which he has in common with Mahoro. When they were kids, he, Mahoro and their childhood friend Kousaka Yukie would eat it as often as their parents would allow - that’s where his love for shared meals began, because it’s much more fun to eat together than alone.
…I may have gone a bit overboard with this. Whoops?
Hope you enjoyed!

Don't Blame Steve
TW: Smut whoops
“Hands!”
“Yes, Chef!” Steve yells, running as fast as he dares to the sous without being reprimanded for creating a hazard. The saucier he had been stationed with shoots him a warning glare, and he knows after this rush he’ll have his ass handed to him on one of the maitre d’s silver platters for abandoning his position, but he’s been given explicit instructions. When the sous calls, he is to run, not walk. He can take the wrath of a measly saucier if it means his chef de cuisine won’t be involved in this particular dispute. 
The man is horrifying, a dark void that pulls everyone in with his initial charisma, only to snap in an instant and leave you feeling like an empty shell of your former self. He runs his kitchen with an iron fist. Hopper himself would cower in Timothy’s presence. Not even swinging a bat into the flowering maw of a demogorgon could hold up to the terror he instills. The sous, though better, is no walk in the park either. She seems like a sweet woman at first, Rosie, but if her call for help goes unheeded there’s no telling what she may use as a weapon. Steve thought, based on this fact alone, that they may even get along the first time he saw her throw a metal spoon across the kitchen in a fit of rage, but this idea was quickly thrown out the window when he narrowly avoided an egg timer hitting him in the head with enough force he very well may have been on the receiving end of another concussion. And at the hands of a 54 year old woman no less. 
Steve comes skidding to a halt at Rosie’s side, close enough to smell the bourbon leaking from her pores and he desperately hopes she’s just horribly hungover. The last time she showed up drunk he went home with burns burgeoning on third degree. Why Timothy never picks up on this, or chooses to ignore it, he doesn’t understand — considering he once came in and was immediately reprimanded for his untied shoelace. 
“I need you on mise. Running low on shallots and cilantro for garnish.”
Steve tries not to roll his eyes, but well, he’s never been the best at keeping a handle on his facial expressions, and Rosie must pick up on some slight twitch in his expression or the exasperated sigh in his “yes, chef.”
“What? Do you think you have better things to be doing? We’re in the weeds and I’m running low on fucking garnishes. Maybe if you were half decent at staging I would have had everything I needed before we were getting fucked in the ass.”
“No, chef. I’m sorry, I’m on it.”
“Good. I don’t miss twice, kid.”
Steve spends the rest of the evening rush by Rosie’s side, dicing in silence like a well-trained dog. He almost misses the call for closing, overstimulated and exhausted both physically and emotionally. All through his closing duties, he’s berated by Sam, the saucier he abandoned firing dishes on his own. He almost doesn’t think he’ll make it through the night, but like always, he does, and drives home on autopilot, hardly registering the traffic as he listens to one of Eddie’s heavy metal tapes to release some of the tension thrumming in his veins. Since culinary school, he’s developed more of a taste for Eddie’s music, finding comfort in the thrumming baselines and heavy drums that make his teeth rattle with how loud it blares through the speakers.
He trudges up the stairs to their apartment, his every muscle alighting in pain. His head is pounding, and he tries to remember the last time he drank water, but days are starting to blur together and he’s not sure he even has today. Still, none of that can stop the smile that erupts over Steve’s features when he sees Eddie waiting for him with dinner set out on the table, despite it being 10 o'clock at night. 
“Hey baby. Rough day?” And Steve just melts into the way Eddie can read him in an instant, falling into his arms with a heavy sigh. He nods silently and inhales Eddie’s scent. He’s just showered and he smells like sandalwood, Steve’s favorite scent. It reminds him of the fact that Eddie changed the bodywash he uses when he discovered that tidbit of information. Eddie isn’t even a particularly huge fan of sandalwood. He doesn’t hate it or anything, it just wasn’t really on his radar until Steve said something, and now he may even love it for the way it makes Steve nestle into his neck and take in deep breaths, sighing at the way it mingles on his skin.
Eddie is no chef and Steve knows that. He doesn’t expect perfection — in fact, after nearly 11 hours of perfection, he prefers a little chaos and junk food. Eddie always delivers, plating up a simple turkey sandwich and potato chips with a vase of flowers and candlelight. 
“I love you,” Steve sighs, settling into his seat which Eddie pushes in for him, leaving a kiss on the top of his head. 
“I love you too. And I saved you plenty of hot water for a bath when you’re done.”
Steve tucks into his sandwich, eating like he’s been starving in a desert for months. Eddie watches with pure adoration on his face, eating much slower and stopping Steve every couple bites to remind him to drink the ice water he put out. After the first half (Eddie cut his sandwich into triangles. However juvenile, Steve has always found it easier to eat them this way and Eddie finds it adorable), Steve is ready to talk. He regails the evening and the vicious humbling he received after closing in as much detail as he can muster, but frankly the day starts to slip away as soon as he gets home. Maybe it’s the repeated trauma, but his brain has a way of compartmentalizing in a matter of hours. There’s just one complaint that never seems to go away.
“And I’m not even getting paid for any of this!”
Eddie gave up asking if working in kitchens was really worth it after the first week. Steve’s answer was always the same. Despite the mental and physical toll, his goals remained clear. He was going to get through this stupid stage and get a real job in a kitchen until he could save up enough money to one day open his own place dedicated to all the recipes that made him fall in love with cooking in the first place, everything the kids loved when he experimented in the kitchen for them.
Eddie has to drag Steve out of his seat to the bathroom when they finish. Steve’s body aches so bad he could fall asleep at the table. It wouldn’t be the first time and Eddie isn’t letting that happen again, lest he be charged with Steve’s complaints of sore everything in the morning. He draws the bath and puts in epsom salt for the pain and lavender scented bubble bath because it eases the knot in Steve’s mind that has his shoulders permanently pressed to his ears. He helps Steve over the ledge of the tub and gently lowers him into the steaming water. It’s the perfect temperature, nearly scalding just the way Steve likes so he can enjoy the water’s warm embrace as long as possible. They remain quiet as Eddie massages Steve’s legs, working the knots out of his calves and running his thumbs up and down the arches of his feet. Steve lets out an occasional contented sigh, relishing in the fact that Eddie enjoys pampering him just as much as he needs it after a day like today. 
The few unpredictable strands of Eddie’s hair that can never be contained by a bun, no matter how neat, are starting to form loose ringlets. Steve reaches out to wind one around his fingers, moves his hand to his boyfriend’s steam warmed cheeks, and draws him in for a delightfully slow kiss. Eddie’s hands travel up Steve’s legs to his thighs, raising them slightly from the porcelain of the tub so he can run his fingers over his taught hamstrings like the frets of his guitar. He plays Steve nearly as well, no, better, and Steve sings his praises into Eddie’s lips.
“Feeling better?” Eddie asks, his forehead pressed to Steve’s, their breath intermingling in heavy puffs between them. 
“Much.” Steve replies. He closes his eyes and focuses on the sensation of Eddie’s fingers all over him. His firm, deliberate strokes graze higher up Steve’s thighs, ghosting between his legs and Steve chokes back a whimper. The bubbles hide the way he’s been steadily growing harder, but Eddie’s hands reveal all. He’s not always in the mood after work, but the princess treatment, as Eddie likes to call it, makes his heart swell… amongst other things.
Steve tries to stand, but the bath is still warm and Eddie’s hands hold him in place. “Just relax. Let me take care of you sweetheart.”
“I want to touch you,” Steve whines. 
“You will, but we can take it slow tonight, right?”
And Steve’s mind is foggy, sure, a combination of the long hours and Eddie’s expert touch, but he doesn’t think he’s that foggy until the words just kind of slip out of him. “Yes, chef,” he moans. 
A hand flies up to clasp over his mouth and his eyes go wide. Eddie is silent, watching like a hawk, his hand still and gripping onto Steve’s thigh in a vice grip. “I– I don’t… I’m so sorry. That just came out. Fuck.”
“Woah woah, hold on there big boy. It’s okay. Look, you don’t have to, I know you had a long day, but maybe just… say it again?”
“Y-yes chef.” Steve tries it out, wondering if it will feel foreign in his mouth, but it doesn’t. It feels natural, like an extension of himself, bearing himself raw to Eddie in a rare way he never has before. He wants to feel Eddie prodding at this part of him, taking him apart piece by piece like he has to every other aspect of his soul until now.
“Jesus christ. How does anyone get anything done in that kitchen with you around?”
“You say that every day.”
“Yeah, but now I mean it. You’re walking around all night saying ‘yes chef’ like an adorable little slut. I wouldn’t be able to think straight.” Eddie splashes Steve with the velocity at which he moves his hand to his dick, gripping tight enough to make Steve moan. His head falls back against the tub, the ends of his hair grazing the bubbly warm water. The contrast of cold porcelain against hot skin makes him realize just how hard his whole body must be flushing, damp from the water and sweat mixing on his skin. His hands find the sides of the tub and hold on for dear life as Eddie’s hand pumps and twists up the length of his shaft. He can feel Eddie’s eyes on him, staring, taking in every expression and breathy noise he releases. 
“Just relax, baby. I’ve got you.”
“You’ve got me.”
“That’s right. Good boy.”
Eddie’s hand speeds up, sloshing water up all around Steve’s chest. Heat pools in his stomach and Steve feels his balls draw up, nearing the edge in record time from the praise.
“Wait,” he says, dropping a hand down to still Eddie’s wrist.
“You okay?” Eddie asks, stopping instantly, concern lacing his voice. 
“‘M okay. I don’t want to cum yet. Want to fuck you.”
Eddie hums. “I thought I was taking care of you?”
“You can take care of me while I fuck you. Ride me into the mattress.”
“Fuck, Stevie. Let’s go.” Eddie helps Steve out of the tub, drying him just enough that he’s not dripping into the carpet. Steve’s skin is red hot, the heat bubbling over into Eddie’s chest as they collide in a sloppy kiss, hardly breaking apart as they stumble to the bedroom. 
Eddie pushes Steve down onto the bed and hovers over him, admiring. He’s hard and aching, leaking against his stomach and he pulls Eddie into him, crashing their lips back together so hard their teeth clack against one another. Eddie is still fully dressed and that just won’t do. Steve’s hands roam Eddie’s body, feeling and squeezing until he reaches the hem of his t-shirt and pulls it over his head. Eddie has new tattoos all over his chest, including Steve’s bat, and he loves to kiss over it, sucking bruises into the outline until it’s puffy and sticking out, raised against his milky white skin. Eddie undoes his belt hastily, pulling his pants and underwear off his hips until they fall to the ground with a clank of his belt buckle against the floor. 
“Lay back, I want you inside me.”
Steve groans. “You need to prep?”
“What do you think I do all day when you’re gone baby?”
Steve reaches around between Eddie's cheeks and sure enough he’s loose and pliant, ready to take Steve’s considerable girth. Steve twitches pathetically, precum spurting out of his tip all over the happy trail leading down to his pubes, thinking about Eddie laid out in their bed playing with himself, moaning wildly alone while he waits for Steve to trudge up the stairs to their little apartment with no promise he’ll even be fucked at all. 
“You ready for me?” Eddie asks.
“Yes chef.”
“Shit you don’t know what you’re doing to me.”
“I may have some idea.” Steve smirks, his eyes tracing over Eddie’s frame to his throbbing erection.
“Steve.”
“Yes?”
“Shut up.” Eddie straddles Steve’s hips and grabs his cock, lining himself up to sink down                       in one swift movement. 
The room is filled with the sound of their moans, their scents mingling together in a heady musk. Eddie’s hands find themselves on Steve’s chest, squeezing his pecks, a juxtaposition of soft skin and hard muscles sprinkled with thick hair. He bounces up and down at a ruthless pace, grinding his hips down with a little twist each time he sinks to the hilt. Steve falls apart under him, his face burying in the pillow beneath him, catching the cries and spit that pool on his tongue. He wants to plant his feet, drive his hips up and pound back relentlessly, drag more of those wanton moans from Eddie’s throat, but he’s so exhausted, the pleasure only adding to the led in his bones, so he lets Eddie take what he needs, let’s him dedicate his heart to Steve’s pleasure. He’s going to come already after being driven to the edge not five minutes earlier, but he needs to stave it off, hold back until he can be painted with Eddie’s cum. 
But Eddie knows him all too well. Knows every sound, knows the meaning of every pleasured grimace on his face. “Don’t wait for me honey. I want to make you feel good.”
“Can I…”
“Cum inside me baby. Want to feel you fall apart while I milk it out of you.”
Those words are all he needs, coming in thick ropes that paint Eddie’s walls. Steve is sensitive, crying out Eddie’s name as he keeps riding the last of Steve’s hard on, chasing his own pleasure. 
“Come on, Chef.” Steve wraps a hand around Eddie’s dick, stroking him hard and fast. “Need to see you cum on the fly, please.”
“Fuckkkk,” Eddie moans as he cums all over Steve’s chest. He falls boneless into Steve’s open arms. Steve wraps his arms around his neck and rubs a gentle hand up and down his back, kissing the hair matted with sweat against his forehead. 
“We need another bath.” Steve giggles.
“I’ll get a wash cloth. We can shower in the morning,” Eddie sighs, squeezing Steve back and letting his affection pour out in droves. He lifts himself off of Steve and feels his spend leaking out and making a mess. “But maybe we sleep on the couch tonight? I’m not changing the sheets.”
Eddie scurries off to the bathroom so he doesn’t drip all over the carpet and returns a couple minutes later to towel Steve off. He picks Steve up, throwing him over his shoulder to carry him to the living room, neither of them being bothered to even put on boxers. Eddie puts on a movie and they drift to sleep in each other’s arms, a tangle of limbs and shared body heat so they can both fit on the small couch. The next morning they shower together as promised before Steve has to leave for the restaurant. All day, with every call of ‘Yes, chef!’ he can’t help but think of Eddie and smile to himself. He doesn’t think working in a kitchen will ever be the same again.

Hi, poetz! I hope you’re having an amazing day 💕 Valentine’s Day is coming up and I want to know what are Quinn and Rachel’s plans for each other? Do they go on a fancy dinner date and let Santana and Teresa babysit Callie and Celeste or just stay at home with their kids? Thanks a bunch, I love you and your fics!!! 💕💕💕
This Valentine’s Day, in the year of our lord 2024, Calliope is just about six months old. Quinn only wants to stay home, cook a nice meal for Rachel, put their daughter to bed, and enjoy a quiet night with just the two of them on the sofa (not) watching a movie - until Callie inevitably wakes up in the middle of the night and demands their attention. 
Rachel, on the other hand, wants to take her wife and the mother of her child out for a romantic dinner. The problem, of course, is that all of their friends who she can occasionally convince to watch their baby daughter for a few hours want to do the same thing with their significant others even though Valentine’s day is right in the middle of the week on a Wednesday. The only available option is grandma Shelby who has her own just-barely teenage daughter that she still won’t leave alone in the house, but Quinn will not agree to bundle up their baby girl and tote her all the way to Englewood, New Jersey, in the middle of winter. 
So it’s option one on February 14th, with a more romantic evening out planned for the following Saturday when Shelby and Beth can come to their apartment and stay with Calliope while Rachel and Quinn get all gussied up and head to Le Pavillon in Midtown for fancy French cuisine. Quinn only sneaks off to the restroom twice to check in with Shelby. 
Generally, this is how it goes every year post-kidlets. The actual day becomes more of a family thing with kisses and cuddles and chocolates and pink hearts and flowers, but Quinn and Rachel always try to carve out some other day for just the two of them to celebrate in a more romantic way.

Back to the Future: The Animated Series, s01ep05 "Swing Low Sweet Chariot Race [AKA Roman Holiday]"
Previous episodes linked HERE
In this episode: Shenanigans abound in ancient Rome, Marty once again demonstrates why he shouldn't be taken anywhere, and Real Doc continues to spiral deeper into. Somethin'. I don't even know.
We begin our episode in 36 A.D. "Rome", where Doc is eating a big ol' plate of spaghetti and talking about how the ancient Romans didn't even know about the dish at that point and wouldn't until 1295.
"What we think of as Italian cuisine is completely unknown in this era. Marty found that out on our previous trip to ancient Italy," he says, all the while twirling the spaghetti around with his fork until it looks like this.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You know how in BTTF II, Old Biff warns his younger self about a "wild-eyed scientist"? That phrase continuously pops into my mind whenever I see Real Doc in these segments. He—he doesn't blink. He always seems like he's 2 seconds away from snapping. Look at all that spaghetti. Something is wrong with this man.
Onto the cartoon!
Marty is once again riding his hoverboard out in the open for all the town to see as he heads to Doc's house. As he approaches, Jules and Verne (who are hiding in their treehouse) use a holographic projector to project an image of Doc standing in Marty's path.
Tumblr media
This causes chaos, as Marty swerves to avoid him and then runs into the real Doc. They crash and land in a large pile of junk in Doc's yard. Doc is not happy that his children have stolen and misused the device to pull a prank. He tells them to be on their best behavior as he takes a trip to ancient Rome to return some scrolls he'd borrowed. He mentions wanting to check out the "Roman arcades," which Verne thinks refers to video game arcades rather than an architectural feature. Doc grounds the boys and forbids them from accompanying him, and Jules swipes the holograph projector while his father isn't looking.
Marty wants to go, though, because he can use the trip to write an extra credit report for his history class. "Caesar! The man, the myth, the...salad," he says. Marty is an airhead.
Using the holographic projector, Jules and Verne project their images to make it look like they're still at home and sneak into the DeLorean. The gang takes off for Rome, where the boys promptly sneak off to check out the arcades. Marty, meanwhile, is hungry and wants pizza. He approaches a woman to ask if she knows of any places, and when she replies angrily in Latin, he goes, "Oh. Do they deliver?" *sigh* Marty. Dear, sweet Marty. What have they done to you? The cartoonists opened up your head and shook out your brain cells, didn't they? Poor boy.
Doc provides Marty with a universal language translator device he can wear in his ear that will allow him to understand and speak back to the locals. Honestly, I don't even think that will help him, Doc. Just take the kid back home, buy him some pizza, and call it a day.
Tumblr media
A mere 10 seconds later, as Doc is making his way through some crowds of people, he notices that Marty isn't following him and has wandered off. Of course he has. At this point, idk how Doc hasn't decided to put a tracking device on Marty. This would solve like half of their problems.
Doc only has a few moments to worry about Marty's whereabouts because he's then approached by Jules, who needs help rescuing Verne (who has gotten into trouble and is being chased).
Can I point out how much of a trooper Doc is? All of his children are constantly wandering off or getting into mischief and he still manages to hold it together. Although this stress could account for the crazed look in his eyes we see in the live segments. Hmm...
As Doc deals with his sons, we return to Marty, who is still on a quest for food. This guy is hungry. Perhaps that's why he seems so empty-headed thus far; his blood sugar is low and his brain is being starved of glucose. In his disoriented state, he's wandered off in ancient Rome. That's the theory I'm going with for now because the other option is to simply accept that they have made Marty a total doofus in this series.
Anyway, in an attempt to stave off his immense hunger, Marty buys himself "headless fish wrapped in stale bread." Yum.
Tumblr media
Here he is debating whether to eat it or succumb to hypoglycemia.
Marty ends up spilling his food on Bifficus Antanneny, who does not take kindly to the embarrassment and challenges Marty to a chariot race. When Marty tries to talk his way out of it, Bifficus calls him a chicken, at which point we get the classic, "Nobody calls me chicken!" line.
Did we not deal with this fully in part III? Didn't Marty learn his lesson about not losing control when people call him names? Why has he taken a tumble backward character-development-wise?
Right. They needed it for ~drama~.
Also, just a little side note: Bifficus's eye color changes randomly over the course of this scene, from black, then to blue for like 5 seconds, then black again.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I have to imagine this is the result of Marty having blue eyes, and whoever was in charge of this scene just automatically made Bifficus's blue for a little bit before realizing and switching back. And then they just shrugged and went, "Whatever. Who cares?" because this cartoon is bonkers as it is, so who's going to notice a character's eyes changing color for a few seconds?
Meanwhile, while Marty is busy making terrible life decisions, Doc is explaining the reality of slavery in ancient Rome to Verne (who had gotten in trouble with some guards for standing up for a slave he'd met). As he speaks, he mentions, "—societal injustice is frequently succeeded by rebellion." Unfortunately, a couple of nearby guards hear this comment and accuse Doc of planning a slave rebellion. He is taken into custody by two massive dudes who could crush him like a bug.
Tumblr media
Thankfully, Judah, the slave Verne had helped earlier, witnesses all of this and takes the boys through the catacombs and to a secret tunnel that leads to the cell where Doc is being held. They're able to break him out, which is good considering Doc is supposed to be fed to the lions soon.
We go to the chariot races then, where Marty is informed that Bifficus is going to allow him to sit and watch the "opening act" (the lions being released) before the race. Let's see how Marty is faring, shall we?
Tumblr media
There are tumbleweeds rolling around in that boy's head.
Marty does, however, freak out when he sees Doc step out into the arena. (Except, shhhh, it's not actually Doc; it's just a hologram of him! Remember the projector Jules stole before they left?) So, everything turns out peachy-keen. But, uhh, we still gotta deal with the whole chariot race thing. Is this episode over yet? It feels like I've been watching it for a hundred hours.
Doc has made some modifications on Marty's chariot, but they're to help him lose, not win. He explains that Bifficus remaining popular is vital to Caligula becoming Emperor of Rome and leading to the eventual downfall of the Roman Empire. If Marty wins, it would be devastating to the timeline. Doc explains all of this while writing notes and calculations on the wall, and I must share it because it looks so nonsensical.
Tumblr media
I very much enjoy the note toward the top that just says, "PASTA."
Marty ends up successfully losing the race, he gives his Chariot to Judah (then revealed to be Judah Ben-Hur), and they go back to the future. We return to Real Doc, who is lounging in a hammock after napping off his big pasta lunch from the earlier segment. He's wearing 2 different socks and still has on like 6 or 7 watches.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bill Nye shows us an experiment involving air resistance. (I realize I haven't actually included any screencaps or info on the experiment portion of these segments, but that's because they're just not all that interesting? I mean, they're cute little do-at-home science projects; I just haven't felt inclined to detail them here) But here is proof that Bill Nye is, in fact, in this show.
Tumblr media
Doc then returns to bid us the usual farewell, ("See you in the future!") but right after he says it, there's this moment where his camera cuts out for a moment, and then he does this bizarre blinking thing and— I had to gif it. Animated series Real Doc is on such a different level of weird than Trilogy Doc. Something happened. Something has happened to him. The additional time traveling post part III and the stresses of family life has taken its toll.
Tumblr media
He is not well.
That's the end of the episode. Clara was nowhere to be seen yet again. :(
Join me next week to see Verne single-handedly prevent the discovery of electricity.

Since I have never done anything like this before, hope the it’s not too many characters. 💙 + the main boys from Nanbaka (aka Building 13 Cell 13)
It’s not too many characters at all! I love working on group requests and the boys are so much fun! Thank you for sending in a request and I hope you’ll enjoy!
SEND ME 💙 + A CONNECTION AND I’LL TELL YOU…
Who orders takeaway?
Honestly, while I do think Rock has a marked interest in learning to cook, and I do see him seeking advice from Shiro while in Nanba, I think that for the most part, he is guilty of really abusing takeaway and delivery. Not only is his appetite huge, but Rock really is a very adventurous eater in that he likes to explore different cuisines and different dishes, not all of which he can easily recreate at home.
Who has the more adventurous love life?
That one is easy, since it’s canon that Jyugo has no love life, Nico’s not likely to have had a lot of romantic experience, if any at all, in my opinion, and Rock’s got a very short, safe dating history. Meanwhile, even shown in canon, Uno has a real love for love. He has dated a lot, is always interested in dating more people, and really is someone who desperately kind of craves the security, fun, and romanticness of being in a relationship with someone.
Who is better at keeping secrets?
Honestly, it really depends. Rock is really pretty good at keeping other people’s secrets, but only if he thinks the secret in question is actually serious enough to keep secret or is something that would hurt the other person to have known. If he thinks what he was told is silly or stupid or harmless, he’s not going to work hard at keeping it a secret. Uno is pretty good at keeping secrets, until he’s in an argument with that person, where he might, in his temper tantrum, kind of use it against them, though he will genuinely feel horrible when he regains his head for doing so. Jyugo is really good at keeping his own secrets, but not so great at keeping other peoples, though he tries really, really hard. Nico just shouldn’t be trusted with secrets period.
Who knows every rumor?
Uno is one hundred percent that bitch. He loves drama and secrets and gossip. It gives him life. Like, no kidding, this man unironically watches soap opera just to get that little bit of extra drama in his life. He goes out of his way to be caught up on all the latest gossip in Nanba, and he’s shook whenever someone tells him gossip he’s never heard before. Like, give him a moment, he needs to go find out every dirty detail and every fact about this right this second.
Who suggests a movie night?
It’s usually Nico, and usually it’s an anime movie. He went through a period where he would beg the others to watch Studio Ghibli movies with him and somehow, even though not all of them are into either those particular movies, or in some cases, not even into movies period, they have a really hard time refusing Nico. Might have something to do with Nico having the biggest, softest puppy dog eyes that he shamelessly uses when he’s trying to get his way.
Who tries to convince the other to try skydiving?
Again, it would be Nico. I do feel like Nico really loves the idea of all extreme sports and he wishes he could go and do all these things, but with his body the way it is, there’s not a lot of sports in general that Nico can partake in. Skydiving can be done even with his weaker body, and I do think it’s definitely something that would be on Nico’s bucket list and something he’d want the others to do with him.
Who is the holiday planner?
While the prison really does do most of the holiday planning, I think Uno, among Cell 13, does the majority of the planning within the cell and he’s got the most opinions on how to go about celebrating, be it decorations, activities, anything along those lines. He really does want and value the other’s opinions; he’s not a dictator or anything when it comes to planning, but he’s definitely the one most enthused by the actual act of planning itself and the one who is best at being organized and thinking of the step by steps.
Who spams the other with memes?
So, assuming they did have cell phones, I could easily see both Uno and Nico spamming the other two with memes all the time. Rock forgets to charge his phone a lot and doesn’t always see the memes, but he’ll emoji react to the ones he does see. Jyugo doesn’t get memes or emojis, to be honest, someone please teach this boy how phones, texting, and all that even work.
Who has never enough money with them and lets the other pay for things?
It’s either Rock or Jyugo. And it’s not that Jyugo doesn’t have the money – he just doesn’t think to carry money on him. In Rock’s case, it’s hit or miss if he does have the money and simply forgot his wallet or if he’s deadass broke and is using not having his wallet on him as an excuse so he can skip Uno’s lectures on financial literacy.
Who wants to try a classic sleepover?
None of them, really. Honestly, being in the same cell, they kind of have sleepovers every night.
Who answers their phone at 2 am?
Again, running on the assumption that they have phones…Nico doesn’t bring his phone to bed with him because he has a slight addiction to phone games and would stay up way too late playing them if he did, so he’s not answering his phone that late. Jyugo is likely to answer the phone that late, because he is both a light sleeper and a bit of an insomniac who tends to more nap here and there rather than to sleep through the night. Rock won’t hear the phone in time to pick up if he’s asleep as he’s a rather deep sleeper and he’s probably just waking up as the person hangs up. Uno might answer, but only to scream at whoever thinks it’s okay to call him at that hour and interrupt his beauty sleep.
Who plays pranks?
I think Uno and Rock kind of each do this at times, here and there, but they’re always relatively small and stupid pranks. Jyugo is somehow both easy and hard to prank – the bigger the prank, the more likely he is to dodge it, but the really small and stupid pranks? They get him almost every time. But again, pranks are a lot rarer among this group than you would think.
Who initiates dates for the other?
This is definitely Uno’s territory. He’s so into relationships himself that he really wants that same thing for his friends and he’s really into playing matchmaker, if he ever can, not just for the other guy’s but for anyone in general. Again, the man is in love with the idea of love. However, Uno is picky about his matchmaking. He genuinely has to believe that the two people could work well together and that they would make each other happy for him to step in and start meddling.
Who is more chaotic?
Jyugo tends to be the most chaotic but that’s simply because prison escapes is the only hobby he has, the only thing he really knows how to do. Without it, he kind of gets bored and depressed, and of course the others quickly follow along in his lead, so he’s always the seed of chaos for the poor guards of Building 13.
Who has the more bizarre quirks?
This is kind of Nico’s whole thing. He has so many bizarre diseases, weird symptoms and side effects that can also sometimes be incredibly contagious. Of course, much hilarity ensues because of it, so we all love Nico for that.
Who spends the most money on unnecessary things?
Honestly, it’s a toss-up between Rock and Nico, but I’m leaning more towards Nico mostly because all of Rock’s indulgences are largely food-based, and food is a bit more necessary than all the anime, manga, and video game related merchandise that Nico buys.

Inscryption Scrybe Caretaker Headcanons
(Because I have been hyperfixated on it lately and this idea has me by the ankles)
With moodboards!!
Tumblr media
Leshy
This guy absolutely smothers you in whatever animal stuffies you want. Frog? Wolf? Bear? Who needs pillows?
You’re usually outside with him, taking walks, playing in the mud, and going on camping trips. He keeps a close eye on you but also mostly lets you do what you want during outside play time. You’ve come home covered in mud a lot, much to Grimora’s dismay
Bedtime always includes a story and Leshy is the best at telling improvised stories. He always makes you the main character
All the animal nicknames. Little bear cub, little duckling, et cetera
Playing the card game with him, he tunes down the difficulty a lot and makes sure you’re doing okay regularly
Maybe he sneaks a good card for you
“Oh, how’d that Mantis God get in there? Oh well, it’s in your deck now.”
Sad to say he’s not a good cook. Best he can do is microwave a TV dinner. But he does get you those cute Kids Cuisines
Or brings home kids meals with toys
Playing pretend with him is very fun because he commits to the bit
Even to his own detriment
Many a tea party has been had and P03 cannot help but laugh every time he comes to pick you up and he sees Leshy sitting at the tiny table, teacup in hand, pinky raised, garden hat on his head
Tumblr media
P03
See, everyone thought he would be the ‘No fun allowed’ caretaker, but that’s not really true
He does make sure you follow the rules but that’s mostly on making sure Grimora doesn’t yell at him (that, and structure is important to him too)
He wasn’t the best at first but over time he got used to you and your routine, eventually
He buys games for you. Whatever you want, he shells the robobucks for. He cannot resist you asking. All it takes is a “pweeeeaaaase?” with those big eyes and he throws his wallet at the GameStop employee
He has a Minecraft server that the two of you play on. He is often coming to your rescue when you get caught in a bad situation. It is usually ‘I have gotten myself stuck in a hole’ or ‘There is a creeper near our house’. He lets you build all the pretty builds while he makes farms for materials.
While he does buy you regular games and kids’ games, if he’s working he’ll usually hand you the tablet loaded with baby games, and if the sound’s going on with speakers he can’t focus well. So he buys you cute and comfy headphones to wear while you use the tablet.
Calls you baby bot. He did not call you this in front of the other Scrybes for a very long time because he was embarrassed, until one day you started crying because he hadn’t called you baby bot in a long time and you’d thought you did something wrong.
“Am I not your baby bot anymore??”
“No no no, you’re still my baby bot- c’mere, you.”
Now that everyone already knows he calls you baby bot whenever.
The crank on his side does, in fact, play ‘Pop Goes the Weasel’.
Other than video games, he plays card games with you like MtG and ofc Inscryption. When he plays with you he tries to go easy even though it’s a bit hard because he’s programmed for optimization.
Tumblr media
Grimora
Spooky mama spooky mama spooky mama-
She is very gentle and soft
Loves buying you cute and pretty outfits!! You look so precious, pumpkin!!
Always makes sure you have yummy food and are always clean
Is a bit of a worrier. Okay, a lot. She can’t stand to be apart from you for five minutes without worrying if you’re okay or not
At this point she trusts the other Scrybes to look after you but sometimes she will just show up to the other Scrybes’ domains even if she’s supposed to be working, which is usually followed by a startled Scrybe and you gleefully running over to her with a ‘hi Mama!’
“Leshy, please stop letting them play in the mud”
“P03, please make sure they cut down on screen time”
“Magnificus, please make sure they eat something other than candy”
Blankets always go in the dryer an hour before bed so you have toasty blanket to sleep with
She doesn’t have any particularly stand-out nicknames for you, defaults to ‘little one’ or ‘pumpkin’
You know when Halloween comes around she sews your costume. Trick-or-treat is the BEST with her
She is the best, gentlest singer. Will often hum you to sleep.
She also tries to make routines fun. Bathtime toys, turning chores into games, sticker charts
Tumblr media
Magnificus
You know this guy keeps a mountain of coloring books for you
Not only coloring books but also just a ton of art supplies in general
Your art is automatically hung up for everyone to see. The fridge ran out of room a long time ago so now your art is hung up on the walls
Parallel art time, in particular, is fun because sometimes he’ll also paint what you’re drawing to surprise you
He cannot resist giving you candy, or sweets of any kind. He’ll bake cookies with you, he’ll sneak you a handful of candy to shove in your pocket before you go over to another Scrybes’ domain
Grimora has had to tell him to lay off the sugar before bedtime plenty of times already, and this will continue for forever
The other Scrybes other than Grimora do nothing to stop this. P03 just thinks it’s funny
He’s not particularly active so if you’re rowdy and want to play outside he’ll send Lonely Wizard out to play with you and keep an eye on you
Lonely Wizard is a great and fun sitter and play time with him will guarantee you’re wound down enough for your nap
(This is how he counteracts giving you too much sugar, see)
Of the group gives the best cuddles. He is very fluffy and will let you cuddle up into him during nap time
Royalty nicknames. Prince, Princess, Your Highness, My Liege, et cetera

                    MIRACULOUS LADYBUG AU
MK and his dad moved to Paris; his dad (Shixing) opened a noodle shop there. They picked Paris because of the popularity of Chinese cuisine. MK also designed the logo for the noodle shop!
The name of the shop: Pigsy's Noodles (小猪的面条), was chosen as a way for Shixing to reclaim a horrible nickname he had growing up.
He helps out with the shop by delivering orders. He used to miss school occasionally to do this when the shop was new. Now that it's a little more established, he's not the only one doing deliveries.
His other dad, Tang, is a professor in Chinese Mythology, leaning heavily on Journey to the West. Due to this, MK has a lot of knowledge on these myths! He'll happily tell anyone who wants to know.
Tang did not initially come with them to Paris, due to a huge argument that he had with Shixing. Their relationship is now incredibly strained and MK is doing what he can to try and fix it.
MK can come off as kinda spacey and like he doesn't listen much as he's usually wearing his headphones. This is because he gets overstimulated very easily.
Had a really hard time making friends at first; he just wasn't sure how to talk to everyone.
Deffs got akumatized in the beginning because of it; his akumatized form was called Jammer. His music made everyone around him start fighting because if he couldn't make friends, no one would have friends. The akuma was hidden in his headphones and he was of course eventually defeated by Ladybug and Cat Noir.
He's doing much better now, a little more outspoken and chaotic than he was when he first arrived now that he's more comfortable with his peers.
Eventually holds the Monkey Miraculous, and goes by the name Kid Monkey. He replaces Kim because of the fact that his secret identity is not known by Shadow Moth and that puts them at an advantage!
Probably got re-akumatized a few times before getting the miraculous - he's a very emotional boy!!!
Most likely spends most of his free time at school in the art room doodling or painting. (I have a wip playlist for what he listens to when he is in there and focusing!)
MK speaks three languages: Mandarin, French and English!
When MK is doodling, it's usually flowers or scenery/ background drawings, but he can draw people really well. He's drawn most of his classmates at least once - usually gives them the drawing afterwards!
Plays a lot of video games in his free time out of school if he isn't wandering around Paris on his scooter. He makes a lot of effort to at least try and figure out his way around. Still gets lost almost all the time. He knows how to get to exactly three places from his home: The noodle shop, school and the Boulangerie Patisserie. He really likes baked goods!!!

Another day, another Moni headcanon list hehe
Moni is a person who wakes up with back pain, a grumpy attitude, and hair that hasn’t been fixed since the Stone Age. Without four cups of coffee she WILL grab a knife
Moni flirts with everyone, especially when she doesn’t mean it. It’s never her fault, it’s just preprogrammed in her brain to be flirty with anyone so they’d be willing to take her in, but there are several occasions where she’s flirty on purpose to get a negative reaction and she loves it
Moni doesn’t really know how to cook or bake, she’s been forced to work with whatever she could back home so Constance gives her a few lessons and now she can properly make something for herself
Moni and Ricky will frequently have quiet moments where the two of them will just draw and take in each others’ company, switching sketchbooks and admiring the other’s work.
When Moni is in a situation that she knows damn well she’ll be in trouble with her mom for, she just speaks French the whole way through, acting like she doesn’t understand English, and usually whoever bothers her leaves or she manages to punch them
When Moni is high goddamn you do not want to be there. Noel frequently has to stop her from picking fights or doing doing something outlandish like jump from the school’s roof.
Moni is fiercely protective of people, whether they be her friends, her brother, a girl she had seen being harassed by some strange dude, she’ll never miss an opportunity to pick a fight for someone she cares about
When Moni was a kid, her great-grandparents called her Nini, a nickname she hadn’t heard in years. When her mother called her Nini one day after a long shift, Moni ran over and hugged her
Monique’s nicknames are Moni, Mon, Mon-Bon (coined by Constance), Nini, and Mo-Mo. Moni doesn’t usually let people give her nicknames so she usually just goes by her full name, but over time she lets others use Moni and it feels like a breath of fresh air
Moni does write poetry, but it’s not the best compared to the genius Noel comes up with. She’s more of a freelance writer, drafting ideas for stories she might want to tell, making short stories of her favorite memories
Moni has an aversion to the color pink, but she does mind it in small doses. However, what she doesn’t let on is she can and will adore a fully pink media if it was introduced to her properly
On the rare occasions Ocean is willing to have a break, the four girls will go on mall trips. But as Penny is the oldest of the four girls reality crashes down on them in the essence of the fact that they will spend their entire allowances in five stores. Moni was revoked from her credit card privileges for a month as a result
The first four months of Moni in Canada was a disaster bc she was still holding onto her life in France, storing food, staking out places that would be decent to spend the night, even keeping a list of possible guys she could charm into letting her stay. She had to unlearn five years of work and pain, but it was worth it
Moni and Mischa will meet once a week and just spend the night together, whether sitting outside smoking or coming up with lyrics for a new rap, or just indulging in their countries’ cuisine. They called it their “Miscasts Nights,” and it makes them both feel like they’re not alone
Noel and Moni will have sleepovers on the weekends. One of them will find a way into the other’s room and they’ll gossip and do each others’ nails and talk and joke around until the sun comes up or Mona comes home, and she’ll see them sleeping together like little kids and she’ll take pictures of her kids being real siblings

what: I've been inspired by my adopt a fic post to turn my ideas into monthly fic prompts, and here's the first post for it woohoo! These are inspired by events from when I was around 15-18 years old (wow that feels like such a long time ago)
prompts masterlist
TCK DEFINITION: Third culture kids or third culture individuals are people who were raised in a culture other than their parents' or the culture of their country of nationality, and also live in a different environment during a significant part of their child development years.
[Psst prompt requests are also OPEN]
Tumblr media
Character A never understanding why people get excited over countries [it’s all the same places with different languages], but also gets excited over cafes, shabby restaurants and grocery stores. 
Character A never owned a pet because it’s expensive taking an animal abroad with them or asking someone to take or it when they were abroad was out of their budget. Character B surprises them with a pet on their birthday/anniversary/ occasion/etc, and Character A just falls in love even more.
Character B tells Character A a long-distance relationship won't work, Character A is confused because they’ve maintained relationships from all over the world.
Character A crying in their kitchen after they’ve tried making tea/ a sandwich, because ‘it’s not the same’. Character B tells them that they found a place despite character B never tasting the original thing.
Character A’s love language is organising/ packing, and Character B is sick before a trip and wakes up to their things packed.
Character A is never fond of bringing gifts to their relatives back home. After making friends in their home country, Character A goes on their first gift-shopping spree and actually feels excitement.
Character A and Character B both fly to their home countries during the summer/ winter/school break and have made a promise to always get each other the most bizarre things they can find.
Character B and C visit Character A’s house and are confused with their food choices. [I put Kimchi in Pani puri shells, 10/10 recommend]
 Character A longing for someone in their current country to love them enough that will make character A stay.
Character B sees the world map in Character A’s apartment wall and asks about it. While Character A is doing so, Character B holds so much love in their eyes/ falls in love with them more. 
Character A has tried every cuisine in the world . . . Character B swears that their mother’s cooking/ family recipe will make them stay in the country they are in.

Is there something your ocs gets homesick for? A person, a place perhaps a particular food they cant get anywhere else or a festival they can't attend anymore?
OOOO!!!! While this is probably aimed to fanwalkers, I cannot help but to think of some of my Planebound ocs! So lets get it rolling! Cyrin came from a distant nearly peaceful district far from Ravnica's cental 10 districts in which he deeply misses. Personally, I hc to be placed in the midwest USA while the tenth/central is in around Prague is if we were to equate it to Earth's geography. Thus, it would take hours on a izzet airship to travel there, not just that as well as the planning he must do.
Nonetheless, Cyrin missed the gruul festivals him and his parents attended to when he was young. If there was photography on ravnica, there would definitely been pictures of him saddling on a Centaur, face covered in gruul war paint: both are smiling.
The food there compared to the tenth was not "more natural" per-se but more communal, if you'd ask him his favorite place to go, he would describe a small Rakdos pub he used to go as a kid. It's where he got to eat exotic (and totally ethically sourced) cuisines from time to time, finding a love for offals such as Liver and Gizzards. Although he loves the bread he gets from the 10th Selesnyans, he has a deep nostalgia for the sourdough dinner rolls he'd share with one of the Imp workers of the pub. Alternatively, he used to have a young golgari friend where they would go on adventures and share snacks with.
Even on the still celebrated Guildpact days, Cyrin would explain an event he watched where the guild representatives would do face offs. If one presses him on it, he would joyfully explain how he watched an Azorius representative was able to reverse and send a pie flying back to the Rakdos tiefling she was doing a competition with.
Lastly, Cyrin misses the rolling plains and distant spires of his home district. Due to how the district was far and mostly self governed, there wasn't much new urban construction built unlike. Thus as he lived on his family farm, he was able to observe the night sky above, pointing and looking at constellations. He misses wading through tall grass and getting chided by his mother for getting scratches and ticks. The smells of the burning rakdos furnaces as a powerful demon lord forged and smiled at his creation before giving it the Boros Angel, as a gift to her, sometimes wafts back into his mind on late nights. On the occasion, he remembers the chatter of the izzet engineers on the side of one of the district's main roads talking about how a mana power line went out.
Every night he wishes he can go back, to see his childhood friend, to that aging rakdos pub and to hear the idle friendly banter he would hear between a selesnyan dryad and a golgari lich. Cyrin can't go back, and it isn't because of money or time, although that is indeed a factor. He knows if he goes back, people will look at him with mournful looks and curious gleaming glances. What happened to his family was something so deeply entrenched in the local history there: The missing kid snatched up by whoever brutalized his parents and sent the house to asunder. That kid found in a dimir warehouse dazed and confused, soaked in blood, but too in shock to speak. Within the local museum, you can read articles of the "Great Zacek Household" tragedy, and he knows this.

Everyone has been sentenced to a mandatory vacation. Where are they going and what are they doing?
What the heck is a vacation??
The Maw
Six: Doesn't particular care where she goes, as long as there's plenty of GOOD food. Might hang out with the other Protags, if she feels like it the Janitor: Has to get kicked off the Maw to go on vacation, but has no place he wants to go? Might just stay in a harbour based town to relax before he's finds a ship back the Twin Chefs: They both always wanted to go to some gaming convention/tournament to win...and then maybe pick up new cuisines the Lady: Legitimately has no idea where she's going. It was the Thin Man's idea and she's just going along with his antics the Granny: Totally going to a lively place near the water. Just wants to mingle with people the Runaway Kid: Goes far, FAR away from the Maw. Maybe to Pale City or the Nest to explore and read books
Pale City
Mono: Doesn't care where he goes, as long as there's adventure! He's the type of person that books too many activities on a vacation, so he's burned out when he comes home the Hunter: Throws a dart at a dartboard of lively cities and goes there for a few days. He misses people, but has a limit for the amount of interaction he can take the Teacher: Exotic rustic village in the country side. It's calm and peaceful, with plenty of hidden things to do the Doctor: Goes somewhere where hiking is a readily available option. He doesn't vacation often, but likes to be active on his days off. A quiet walk down a path is relaxing for him the Thin Man: Beach house away from everyone, and takes the Lady with him. He doesn't like being alone, so going with the bestie/worstie is a good idea
The Nest
the Raincoat Girl: Always wanted to go to a rain forest! There’s just something enchanting about listening for parrots that makes her excited. Definitely brings a (reluctant) friend or three along... the Craftsman: Goes to a city first, then rents a car and drives to somewhere. He prefers car trips and will probably spend his time drive around aimlessly the Butler: Goes home...that’s it. Butler doesn’t vacation often, so he takes advantage of the time off to visit family. Spends about a month or two with them before heading back the Pretender: Picks a castle and rents it for a week or two as her vacation. She’s already the self-proclaimed “Princess of the Nest”. But, now she can be a literal princess on her vacation
all the Extra Kids, Flash Light Girl, Bread Boy, and Scarf Kid:
They all go to Disney. That’s it. The end. If Disney is too much, they all vote to go to another amusement park. They arguably have the best vacation out of everyone, and are exhausted when they return
the Ferryman: Goes to a seaside village and hangs out at the local tavern for most of his vacation. He takes vacation time seriously, in which he eats and sleeps, and nothing else the Mirror Man: He travels a lot, via the mirrors, so vacations are a weird concept for him. If there’s a place he wants to check out, he’s already there thanks to his powers. Spends his “vacations” watching people the North Wind: If it was up to them, they would flew to outer space. But, they haven’t gotten that far yet, so North Wind heads towards lesser known territories in the south, east, and west to cause havoc
The Missing Characters
the Hanging Man: Beach vacation, and tans. He might go swimming, but maaaannn does he need some sun the Wax Bellman: Like the Janitor, he has to be kicked off the Maw to go on vacation. Ends up going to some historically important place because it’s interesting the Lunch Lady: Vacations in the mountains and goes mountain climbing. If it’s during the winter, she’ll go skiing/snowboarding the Principal: Staycation and sleeps. He spends all his vacation time catching up on the sleep he doesn’t get snoozing in his office the Barber: Deliberately picks shady places or tourist-hostile areas as a vacation. Everyone tells him it’s a bad idea, but he always comes back unscathed  the Mail Recipient: Camping trip vacation...

Question timeeee
How did Gris get his first Rowlet?
(assuming Alola is a Decidueye by the time you get to Hisui) Alola’s reactions of Dartrix evolving to a regional variant Decidueye
What happened to Grimhilda’s Pokemon after she passed?
What are Ingo & Emmet parents like? (and if they are alive) what are their reactions to Ingo’s boyfriend Gris and his dad Guzma?
Anywhere Gris or Ingo want to go to specifically? Maybe couples trip?
Anyone else notable that Gris has a friendship with? (gym leaders, team members, whatever other ppl there are I'm blanking atm. this can go for really any of ur different AUs)
(yoooo let’s go! Lightning round!) (also I’m writing these at like 1 am, no sleep gang strikes again)
Guzma pulled some strings with his old pal Kukui and actually got a rowlet egg just for Gris. Even as a kid the old stigma of team skull still kind of lingered so Gris didn’t have friends really, so Guzma surprised them with their first Pokémon to raise and bond with to fill in the gap! It was when Gris was around 8-10, before their Pokémon journey started. They’ve been ride or die every since rowlet hatched.
In Hisui, Gris was fully prepared to have twin Decidueyes on their team. Two matching hooded archer birds 💳💥 but as the two watched the Dartricx evolved Gris noticed right away that something was different. When the variant appeared Gris was so excited and happy and surprised. Words could not express their joy to discover a regional variant of their favorite Pokémon. Alola though, was shocked. Little timid natured Hisui was in tears. It wanted to look just like Alola and it got very upset. The two birds made up in the end. Now when Gris goes back to the present they have something amazing to show Kukui.
When she passed, everyone took a big hit. It was unexpected and even the Pokémon went into a mourning period. (I haven’t decided her team yet oops) Guzma kept most of them, taking care of them and they’re basically family. I think I want one to become apart of Gris’s Alola team but I’m not quite sure, and I also wanted one to move on like how in the anime sometimes Ash would let his Pokémon off on their own to go do their own thing like Greninja. Still in the works, but they all find a home either with Guzma and Gris or somewhere else.
The submas twins’s parents. I’d like to think their mom would be very upbeat, pep in her step, nose to the grind stone type of gal, while their dad is very laid back and chill, a very passive but charming man. They are alive I just haven’t gotten around to thinking about any designs/story that involve them much. Lets say that with everyone else around Ingo, they’d be floored. Mom, fainted, Dad, hanging on by 1 hp when they hear that one of their sons is dating the son of infamous former leader of a criminal organization. Family dinners are awkward, but they try to be supportive. They’re just very scared of Guzma. They love Gris though.
Trips! I’ve said somewhere they make trips to Galar and Alola, but I think the two of them would love to visit Kalos. One for the cuisine, two Gris won’t freeze the minute they step outside, three Ingo won’t melt on the spot from the sun, and four, they both want to go see the Sundial in Anistar City. Seeing it glisten in the setting sun would be magical (Ingo looks to the sundial but can’t help but look to Gris and watch the pretty light dance around them), and five, mega stone hunting because why not have a chance to mega evolve one of their Pokémon?
Gris knows Gladion and Lillie. They’re older and kind of treat Gris like a younger brother. The siblings come by and chat with Guzma, the three bonded over Lusamine being crazy. Gris feels like the cousin kept out of the loop. There’s Nanu because Guzma plays cards with him on the weekends. They knew Hau before they tried to beat the elite 4, Hau visits Guzma to check up on him every now and then since he is the champion and the other’s a kahuna. There’s Elesa and Skyla, Draydon since he’s the twins uncle. They also know the other island kahunas too since Guzma dragged Gris to their meetings. Gris is only really good friends with the twins, Elesa and Skyla though.
In the howl’s moving castle au, they knew N since he curses Gris. They form a brotherly type relationship after his magic is taken away.
