“Can you make this?”

Mo Guan Shan frowns at He Tian’s phone when he angles it in his direction. It’s a video of someone making cute rectangular layered cakes. 

He tilts his head a little, lower jaw jutting out in consideration, and He Tian knows Mo Guan Shan will make it anyway regardless of whatever he’s gonna say next.

"You into this shit?"

He Tian just shrugs. It's cute. He's into cute shit and he's not afraid to admit it. "It looks tasty."

"Hm," Mo Guan Shan hums with a non-committal shrug. "I'll try I guess."

'Try' he said as if that isn't as good as a yes. He Tian knows Mo Guan Shan won't just try. The second the question left He Tian’s lips Mo Guan Shan already took it as a challenge. He'll fucking do it and blow He Tian's mind in the process at how way better and prettier his version will be than the one in the video. Just like all the other times He Tian has shown him foods he thinks are interesting. It's as good as done at this point.  

See, it’s like this. Outside of work, the foods Mo Guan Shan cooks are just a rotation of his and He Tian’s favorite or any dish He Tian has mentioned even in passing that he likes. Mo Guan Shan has picked up on He Tian's picky eating habits and developed an instinct to mentally cataloguing He Tian’s niche food preferences and all the subtle ways he’s let them known. In his published cookbooks, at least half of the foods featured are a variation of what suits He Tian’s tastes and all of them have ‘For 贺天’ printed on the first page.

God. He Tian loves him so much. What the hell did he do in his past life to deserve such devotion?

The weekend rolls around and Mo Guan Shan presents He Tian with his own version of the cakes. 

He Tian, as he expected, is floored by how pretty they are that he doesn’t even say anything. He just stares at the little rectangular cakes in pastels decorated with intricate shapes made of fondant and meticulously piped icing.

"What's wrong?" There's worry in Mo Guang Shan’s voice seeping into defensive. "What? You don't like it?"

"No, its..." He Tian looks up at him, brows furrowed and a look of genuine conflict on his face. "They're too pretty. I kinda don't wanna eat them."

“Idiot,” Mo Guan Shan just scoffs and rolls of his eyes but the slight quirk at the corner of his lips lets He Tian know he’s pleased. "Just eat it. Food is meant to be consumed. I can always make more."

"These are definitely way, waaaay cuter than the ones in the video I showed you."

"They're okay. You're just exaggerating."

"No, I'm not," He Tian insists. "When have I ever lied to you?"

Mo Guan Shan stares at him. He looks to be considering He Tian's words for a moment before nodding curtly.

He Tian takes what seems like a thousand pictures and sends them to their group chat with Jian Yi and Zhang Zheng Xi, to his brother, and then to Brother Qiu with a very proud caption of 'Momo made these for me~. They’re pretty AND they taste great~.’'

He revels in Jian Yi exploding in the group chat and demanding Mo Guan Shan make some for him and Zhan Zheng Xi too.

‘Heh,’ He Tian types with a smug smile, ‘Eat your heart out, bitch.’

(He Cheng thumbs-upped his message while Brother Qiu’s reply was to tell Mo Guan Shang to bring some over the next time they come to the mansion. To which He Tian replies a very empathic ‘No <3’).

When he’s done gloating, He Tian turns back to Mo Guan Shan and knows by the look on his face that he’s already thinking about including the cakes in his next cookbook. He thinks that if Mo Guan Shan ever gets his own restaurant, he’ll make it so at least half of the menu will be to He Tian’s liking. 

"I love you," He Tian says and means it. Because he really does and because he doesn’t know any other way of saying it. 

"Wha—" Mo Guan Shan blinks, a flower fondant halfway to his mouth, and looks at He Tian weirdly. "Just because of this? You're too easy."

For Mo Guan Shan? He really is. Always has been and always will be.

"You take care of me so well." Mo Guan Shan's loudest love language has always been food and He Tian still can't believe how lucky he is that he gets to have this. “I’ve gotten spoiled.”

“You’ve always been spoiled,” Mo Guan Shan retorts as he bumps a forkful of chiffon against He Tian’s lips. "Shut up and eat your damn cake." 

I love you too.

#19 days #tianshan #he tian #mo guan shan #food as a love language #writing #if there is one thing MGS will do for HT it's to cook for him #cooking is some high level shit show of love ok #it's not even a 'labor' of love it's just is #it's not something he 'does eventhough it's hard' it's something he truly wants to do for HT ok #at least in my head #cooking for someone is just another way to say you love them

i am feeling so fucking good actually

#i got a job and i like the guy im working for and i like the work im doing and By God i like the pay. #i ate 3 good meals today . and cleaned my kitchen #my disposal had been clogged for a few days but i think the accumulated food mush softened the hard rice that was clogging it #it's my 3rd day of tolerance break #and i am going to be honest this is the longest ive gone without smoking for a good bit . gonna hold out til sat night i think #i got so so so so muddy at work but i showered and now i am so so clean And in a cozy sweater #called a sweetie . feeling seen and loved and also Tired from a reasonable amount of good hard labor #moving my body and making things with my hands makes me feel like such a person ... #n

crazy how eating gives you like energy and stuff

#WHY AM I SURPRISED #I know this!!! #so why am I shocked!!!! #genuinely wondering how much of my energy and pain issues would be solved if I simply ate enough #jesus fucking christ #I need to get some like freezer meals or something #literally anything that I’m not gonna go through in two days #but is easy enough to make (aka doesn’t require Labor or Dishes) #fuck man #anyway #I keep forgetting to tag these posts #food mention #eating mention #food cw #eating cw

I'm an argumentative bastard just like both my parents but I try not to get into fights too much because a lot of arguments just turn into a waste of time but fuck man. It's really hard sometimes.

#chit chat #work stuff #'unskilled labor' is my secret communist trigger phrase and one day I'm gonna get fired #for yelling at a fucking office manager customer about how I know damn well how to keep employees in line and file paperwork #but I'd sure like to see him throw freight for ten hours a day every day for a year without cracking #and I'd like to see him get screamed at by a customer and have a portable grill thrown at him and not see him lose his cool #and I'd like to see him drive our assortment of forklifts through a store at 2pm and not hit anything or any customer not paying attention #not only is this skilled labor but im DAMN skilled at it #and he wasn’t even talking about retail specifically he was talking about mcdonalds #but i know what office work entails because I've done it and it's also half my job here #and 16yo burger flippers do a lot more have a lot more skills and risk a lot more danger than fucking working on microsoft excel all day #and yes a lot of office work is necessary but it's not fucking better than retail or food service #and I hope all his computers have slow internet for the rest of his life #jfc

Tripitaka constantly asking for food, especially in the earlier chapters, reminds me that he was possibly about 18-20 at the beginning of the journey.

A little beyond the true bottomless pit stage, sure, but maybe not quite outside it yet.

#jttw personal #food tw #this on top of being a relatively sheltered temple monk suddenly on an international cross-country trip #on horseback! #that his body was in no way prepared for. absolutely SHOCKED at his new calorie requirements. #someone teach tripitaka to forage so he can graze en route #I don't care if manual labor makes him squeamish #shove some self-sufficiency down his throat for his own good #he's not eating enough #all that constant traveling and he's consuming like. a single bowl of rice one day. a couple peaches the next. #swk who's subsisted on inedible metals for 500 years and doesn't actually NEED to eat or drink to survive: that's probably enough right? #just think of monkey king trying to keep a whole teenager fed though like damn rip buddy #(disclaimer: obviously tripitaka is FINE and - like the toilet - we are probably not meant to think about how bodily needs are being met-) #(-unless it's plot relevant. Counterpoint: I find this funny.) #(Give Sun Wukong A Raise Agenda) #(Tripitaka Learn To Feed Yourself Agenda) #(Your Diet Is ATROCIOUS (in true university-aged young adult fashion. to be fair.) But That Doesn't Mean It SHOULD Be) #(No Making Your Disciples Do All The Work For You Doesn't Count) #(Get Back Here And Be A Good Example To Your Students Young Man)

you know i think instead of talking to my little sister im just going to start buying stuff she cant eat so i dont go "oh i want x" and find out shes demolished the entire thing in a short timespan

#spoots rambles #(this is going to be my talking tag now) #its unfair to me who does an ass load of physical labor at my school/work and is rarely home while shes a student largely at home this #semester #ive already dropped a ton of weight because of that + she eats like my brother + her food choices are limited so i cant get what i need #like 99% of the time so ive unintentionally reentered starvation mode ed fun times #anyways im fussed because i thought she wouldnt like butter pecan icecream but i only had one serving and she ate the rest of full tub #in like 3 days if that. and i only got to have one normal sized portion of the fucking shit. #im buying gluten forever. die.

My brother referred to Labor Day as “The Pizza Party of Holidays” and I felt that in my bones

#labor day #I hope all retail workers who don’t get the day off riot #food service workers too

Wondered why I felt a little manic. Yep. It’s what you think. I remember telling my phone I’d take my meds in just a minute. That was over three hours ago. Meds have been taken. Reality should descend in less than an hour.

I’m still going to spend my afternoon stringing up lights in the big white tents on the lawn.

#look when my parents throw their Labor Day party they don’t hold back #lots of food #live bands #rain is just a little thing that sometimes could happen #this one girl mosh pit has stated her limits #I can only be a one girl mosh pit for maybe 12 minutes #but with a little encouragement and a lack of meds? #i will be that idiot dancing by herself in the rain

Coming Back to Scranton

As students return to campus, our Off Campus Art News Blogger, Ellie, is here to share about one of her favorite local cultural events happening in Scranton, PA over Labor Day weekend, La Festa Italiana! Remember to bring your camera! #MarywoodArt

Hello everyone! With the official start of the semester underway at Marywood, a lot of us are coming back to the area.

Me after working one of the worst shifts of my life, partly because all the white-collar workers get labour day off when it’s not even about them so they show up to my workplace in swarms but I still have to deal with them and my manager is still shitty and my supervisor is being a dick and I do not get paid enough even with my union holiday pay:

#white collar workers getting labour day off #and using it to make life hell for minimum wage workers #who are the people who actually need labour day #because they still have shit pay #and shit working conditions #is my villain origin story #anything that’s not absolutely essential should be closed on labour day #retail #fast food #pools #other recreation places #and what not #i KNOW white collar workers also have labour problems #but they SWARM minimum wage places on labour day #like it’s nice you get the day off but why should your day off #make my day HELL #bite kill maim #not trek #labor day #labour day
