Did pretty good only ate half. It's hard because I have alot of friends at work and we eat lunch together so I can't just not finish my food or skip lunch every day or else I would. Right now I just got home and my grandma cut me some fruit. I only eat like 4 or 5 cubes of cantaloupe and flush the rest down the toilet. I flush alot of food down the toilet. Every night my grandma makes me dinner and it's usually pizza rolls or mac n cheese or fried rice. I usually eat it but lately I've just been flushing it all down the toilet. Ik it sounds crazy but I don't want to get caught and I really want to lose weight so atleast this way it seems like lm eating. Plus all that stuff is terrible for you and I'm tired of it. Not going to lie tho I get a mischievous thrill off flushing my food away. It reminds me that I'm better and more powerful over my hunger and my desire to lose weight is so great it thrills me. I'm still waiting on dinner. I'll give an update once I flush it. But today's meal was probably only 600 too 800 cal max. So that's pretty good. So far this week I've only consumed maybe 7k calories. Which is 1000 cal average a day. Not to bad but I need to get it to about 800 a day. Usually I eat like 3000 to 3200 and manage to stay skinny thank the lord so I'm hoping my fast metabolism will help me lose a little more despite larger calories. Plus I'm 6 feet tall so I lm bigger than most other girls. So I think I'll be fine. Update later when I throw my dinner away lol.

Hello there how is everything I am a fan of AOT and I wanted to ask you if it okay you can do a headcanon of eren and zeke dating a black s/o
Tumblr media Tumblr media
dating a black s/o;
❥ hiii, i hope you enjoy, ty for the request, i’m a poc so this is nice :)
Tumblr media
eren jaeger
first of all he fucking loves you, like he’s infatuated with you because you’re so beautiful and just everything you do is like wow.
let’s start with your hair, he loves it so much and he’s always trying to touch it even when you tell him not to lmao
he’ll sit in the bathroom with you while you do your hair and just talk to you while reading the labels of the products you use
he spritz the spray bottle at your hair sometimes just for fun too 
one time you let him try to braid your hair and the braids weren’t terrible but he knotted a lot of your hair ngl😭
he gets so confused when you ask him to buy certain products and constantly comes home with the wrong stuff
“what do you mean this isn’t it? baby, it literally says deep condition creme!” “but it’s not the same, i wanted the coconut oil one!” “well this is the castor oil one, it’s basically the same thing.”
no eren. no, it is not the same thing.
he likes joining you in the shower for wash days sometimes, but he probably leaves halfway through the shower because you’re taking way too long
he hates that sticky feeling of lip gloss but just the way it makes your lips look he finds it so alluring, he’ll peck little kisses on your lips all the time and then wipe his mouth after 
he loves your cooking. he really enjoys it and is always open to try new things, he swears he’s getting the most exotic shit even though it’s literally just baked mac n cheese or something...
“baby what is this? it is so good.” “eren it is literally fried okra.”
you put him onto so many songs and he can probably belt out the lyrics to some of your favorite artists because he’s heard their songs so many times
occasionally if you’re just dancing in the kitchen and getting down, he’ll join you for a few minutes even though he looks like a complete fool (i doubt he can dance, but he thinks he’s doing an amazing job💔)
sometimes he can ask a lot of questions when he’s bored to know more about your culture, heritage, etc because he thinks it is genuinely interesting
he def seems like the type to put #blm in his bio or something, or post a black screen to show his support 
he brags about you all the time to his friends, he just thinks you’re so cool and not in like a weird way, just genuine admiration for you, and he has a lot of pride that he even had a chance with you, it’s endearing
zeke yeager 
zeke automatically thinks you’re the baddest bitch he’s ever seen, i mean he’s all for you 
i mean this dude was like AWOOGA when he first saw you— pls😭
and it’s not that he brags about you, it’s just more of a “you see her? yeah, she’s mine.” but he doesn’t say it audibly, he just flaunts you in a more physical way
zeke actively tries to help with your hair but it’s more to pester you than anything, like he’ll comb the ends of your hair carelessly and you’ll slap his hands away 
not that he’s not trying or anything but he just doesn’t know what he’s doing LMAO
since i keep talking about the lipgloss thing since i find it funny, zeke out of these 3 doesn’t mind the lip gloss at all, he actually probably goes out of his way to kiss you, and ngl he probably licks the lipgloss you left on his mouth or something jokingly—
zeke lets you talk to him about anything, your culture, foods you want to try to make, issues that you have, and he’ll casually pitch in his own questions and stuff like that, he’s a good listener
if you’re at the store together looking for hair products and stuff he’ll just point to random stuff and tell you you should get it, even if he knows it won’t work for your hair
“what about this, sweetheart? i think this is pretty neat.” “zeke... that is tresemme... i need shea moisture shampoo.” “well i use this, it works just fine.” *cue a staring contest between zeke’s beard and you* “yeah... it’s working i guess.”
but in the end he probably understands why you use certain products and why you can’t use certain products, he just likes messing with you.
he really enjoys your cooking and probably tries to be in the kitchen with you and help you cook, he’s good company and he’s not to bad at cooking himself 
he’ll also give you recipes you should try that he’s seen as well, he just thinks that if you cook it, it automatically tastes better LMAO
he’s like a little sugar daddy, if you want him to buy you a $300 lace front he probably will, or if you want him to buy you some expensive ass shoes he probably will
he probably put on your bonnet or wig just to make you laugh or something, it was actually quite funny—
he treats you like a little princess too, like he’ll probably check the weather and be like “honey, we can’t go out today it’s too humid for your hair.” and he’s really just pretentious about little things like that, he goes out his way to make sure you’re okay, and good, especially when it comes to things that are important to you
he asks you if you can comb his hair and oil his scalp and stuff like that for fun, and lets you braid his hair and beard for practice, he just sits back and enjoys😭😭
levi ackerman
i feel like levi doesn’t show his admiration as much but deep down it’s definitely there, he finds you interesting, and an amazing individual
he has probably stuck around once or twice to watch your hair routine but he’s not always there to watch, the funny thing is though he probably remembers it; you’ve had him help you with the routine before and you were surprised when he wasn’t even really listening to what you were saying cause he kind of already knew what to do
“so then you’re gonna— yeah, yeah... how’d you know?” “i’m not stupid, i’ve seen you do it before.” “yeah— like once!”
we love our educated king <3
he’s surprisingly gentle when he’s doing it too, like his hands are so delicate and light and he’s lowkey afraid to hurt you so you have to tell him to be a little rougher when trying to untangle/comb through your hair
he will not kiss you when you have lip gloss on. i’m sorry but he doesn’t like the feeling, and if you kiss him he’ll wipe it off of his lips immediately, he doesn’t like it at all
he rarely brings home the wrong items if you ask him to run to the beauty supply or something. it’s just not hard to get the right thing, he looks at the photo of the product you sent him and scavengers the isles. he hates going for beauty supply runs though because he doesn’t like getting stared at, he’d rather go with you instead of by himself
he thinks your cooking is good but he’s not that surprised to be honest, maybe the first time you could see in his face that he was enjoying it but he never really exaggerates how good it is like eren would.
he does ask for another plate though, and if you tease him about that he rolls his eyes😭
he doesn’t take racism, any of that lightly, i can definitely see him getting immediately defensive over the slightest things that could even come off racist to you. it’s not that he’ll immediately say something but he does get sus of the person and a little more protective of you 
he probably secretly has so many pictures of you in his phone, and one of them is definitely his lock screen because he finds you so gorgeous 
he probably would put your bonnet on your head for you if you forgot it before going to sleep, or wake you up to put it on
he probably knows some hair care tips because he does his own research for your sake, he wants to know as much as you do so he can be a help; so even if you already knows what he’s telling you, act like its new information, you’ll see his eyes light up a little bit when you tell him you’ll try that next time :’))
he complains about your hair being left everywhere though, i also think he doesn’t like to participate in your wash days because he doesn’t like seeing your hair everywhere
but despite this he still is usually the one to clean it up if you’re taking too long to, thank you levi<33
another thing is, if you have beads in your hair, he really likes it because the sound they make is somewhat relaxing to him + it lets him know when you’re around, it’s almost comforting sob sob

Everything You Want (Peter Parker)
Tumblr media
Pairing: Peter Parker x Reader
Warning: Cursing, lots of fluff and cliches
Summary: When Y/n breaks up with her ex, she declares to her friends that she will never, by any means, fall in love again. To her surprise, Peter seems to take this as a challenge, trying to win her heart in a mere afternoon.  
Author: Dizzy
A/N: I was on a bit of an unexpected hiatus, but I am here to stay. School and quarantine was kicking my ass and my family is moving halfway across the country so things have been very hectic around here. But, with Falcon and the Winter Solider and me rewatching all the Marvel movies to cope with this wack ass time, I am feeling inspired.
Masterlist Request Any Of These Peter Parker/Tom Holland Masterlist
__________________
“That’s it!” You slammed your lunch tray down on the cafeteria table as you huffed and sat down beside MJ. “I’m done with men. I hate love. I’m over it.”
MJ looked over at you and sighed, rolling her eyes. She didn’t believe you, especially since the boy you’d broken up with was the boy you dated not even a week after swearing off men the last time. 
“What are you talking about?” Ned asked before receiving a swift kick from MJ.
“Don’t ask about it.” The girl replied through gritted teeth as she fully turned on the bench to face you. “Y/n, you know I love you, but I can’t help but think you’re being a little rash.”
“Rash?” You scoffed. “You wanna talk about rash? MJ, you broke up with Ethan Brooks in eighth grade because he accidentally stepped on your foot at the winter formal.”
“I know you’re just being harsh because you’re heartbroken, but let’s be real, Y/n, you don’t hate love.” 
“Yes, yes I do. I’m never, ever, ever going to fall in love. I’m not even going to think about it. I now will live in a world of tragedy and heartbreak because love does not exist.”
You stabbed your fork into your mac and cheese aggressively. Maybe MJ was right, you thought, you might have been being a little harsh and you were very heartbroken. 
You had the unfortunate curse of being a romantic, loving the idea of love and anything having to do with a good rom-com. You couldn’t help but fall in love with everyone you’d ever had a romantic moment with. You just loved the experience that came with being in love. 
However, now sitting heartbroken and eating your feelings in mac and cheese, you really really didn’t like the idea of falling in love and would have rather fallen off the face of the earth than like another boy.
MJ sighed heavily, reading your body language and knowing you wanted nothing more than to curl up in bed and watch a sad movie. 
“Y/n, I know you’re sad, but look on the bright side, you have more time to hang out with us. We’re going to the movies after school today.” 
You looked between your three friends, smiling shyly. “Thanks, guys, but I really just feel like being alone.”
“Oh, come on, Y/n.” Peter sighed, giving you a nudge with his foot. “I know you secretly want to pig out on popcorn and see that new horror movie.” 
“I don’t think so, Peter. I really don’t feel good.” 
Peter pouted, giving you puppy dog eyes. “Please, Bug, come on. You blew me off last week to go out with Brad and we’re best friends. You owe me one.” 
“I thought we were best friends.” Ned spoke up, earning another swift kick from Peter. “Ow! What is with you guys and abusing me?” 
You smiled, rolling your eyes at your friends. Especially at Peter, who seemed serious enough to use the only face you couldn’t resist and a nickname that always seemed to keep your attention on him. 
“I’ll think about it.” You caved, taking another bite of your food. 
“Don’t think. Just say yes.” 
“Are you seriously going to be pushy right now, Parker?” You raised a brow at him. “I am heartbroken. Sick with sadness.” 
“I’m just saying, the best way to get over someone-”
“Is to get under someone.” Ned stated proudly, cutting Peter off. 
“Ew, no!” Peter gave Ned a light shove. “I was going to say that the best way to get over someone is to be around people who care about you.”
“Or burning his personal belongings before he asks for them back.” MJ added, stealing a fork full of your mac and cheese. “We could always burn Brad’s stuff and roast marshmallows over it.” 
“I like MJ’s idea way better than going to the movies.” You agreed, pointing to the girl beside you while you locked eyes with Peter.
“We’re not going to burn his stuff!” Peter exclaimed as MJ frowned. “I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to burn someone else’s property and we already made plans to go to the movie.”
“Well, damn.” You frowned. “Now look who’s being harsh.” 
MJ began to chuckle beside you as Peter began to frown. 
“Harsh would be me forcing you to go to the movie.”
“Oh yeah, and badgering me to go isn’t forcing me right, Peter?” You raised a brow at him as you finished the last of your meal. 
“At least I’m asking and not physically forcing you to go.”
“That is true.” You shrugged. “I guess I’ll come, but if I am having a terrible time, you have to take me home.”
“Always.” Peter smiled, nodding as he reached forward and grabbed your hand. “It’ll be fun, Bug. I swear.” 
You shrugged, squeezing the boy’s hand as the bell rang loudly. You pulled away quickly, catching a glance at your now ex-boyfriend and the girl attached to his arm as he walked past your table. You cleared your throat, corralling your things together as you rose from your spot on the bench. 
“I’ll-I’ll, uh, see you guys later. I’ve got to get to Chem. I can’t be late again or I’ll get a detention.” You stammered, feeling the tears prick at your eyes as you pulled your books in your arms. 
“Let me walk with you.” Peter offered, noticing the sudden change in your mood as he rose from his seat and rounded the table to where you stood. “I have to get to Bio next door anyway.”
You nodded silently, surprised when you felt Peter’s hand press lightly against the small of your back as he guided you through the crowd in silence. 
“You know, Bug, it’s okay to say things aren’t okay.” He finally said as you made it into the outer corridor of the cafeteria. 
You bit your lip at his words, holding back the tears as you glanced over at him so he could finally see your eyes and cheeks red with pent up feelings.
“I’m fine.” You choked out, swallowing the lump that formed in your throat. 
Peter pulled you aside, out of the way of the walking students. His eyes, you could see as he rested his hands on your shoulders and forced you to look at him, were full of concern.
“I know you’re not. You want to talk about it?”
You couldn’t help it, the warmth and care in his brown eyes caused your tears to begin to fall as your hand shot up to wipe them quickly.
“You must think I’m pathetic.” You laughed uncomfortably as you spoke, “I’m crying over some stupid boy and you have to watch.”
Peter shook his head, his expression clearly showing the confusion in his mind as he looked at you. 
He never found you pathetic nor would he ever. On the contrary, he found you to be the most amazing person he’d had ever known, and not just because you were best friends. Watching you cry, he realized something he’d never wanted to take a good hard look at. 
You were the girl he’d always wanted to be with and you’d always kept him on the sidelines. You were everything he’d ever wanted and yet you always kept him as the best friend, the shoulder to cry on, the boy who often kept you afloat. 
For a girl so in love with romance and cliches, you’d never realized how much of a walking cliche the two of you were. 
Not that Peter was upset. He would never be upset by that, especially when you still allowed for him to be so close by your side. 
“Oh, Y/n.” He pulled you into a hug after giving you a moment to clean yourself up. “I would never think you were pathetic. You’re the best person I know.” 
You sniffed, bringing your arms around him to embrace him back before pulling away and looking up at him. 
“You really think so?”
“I know so.” He gave you a shy smile as he glanced down at you.
Your eyes traveled from gazing into his and looking to the spot on his shirt that you had now stained with tears and mascara.
“Even if I stained your nice white shirt with my make up?”
Peter pulled away, looking down at the shoulder of his shirt as he tugged at it to see the stain better. He sighed, chuckling lightly as he looked at you with a smile as warm as the look in his eyes. 
“I have other shirts. I didn’t really like this one, anyway.” 
“Peter, that’s your favorite one.” 
Peter shrugged, letting go of the fabric between his fingers as he looked at you, wiping away the last remaining tear that clung to your cheekbone. “I’ll just have to find a new favorite then.”
You swallowed a bit, your hand reaching up and resting on his wrist as you smiled shyly, sudden feeling nervous. 
“I should probably get to class.” You said softly, your voice barely above a whisper. 
Peter’s hand fell from your face quickly as he became aware of the new energy between you two. 
“Yeah, yeah.” He cleared his throat harshly. “I should get going too.”
You nodded, allowing for silence to fall between you two as you quickly rushed to class, giving him a small wave before walking into the classroom. 
The rest of the day felt uneventful and monotone with spurts of sadness and confusion here and there. You could feel the heartache of your breakup settle in every once in a while, especially in moments in which you let your mind wander while watching your ex-boyfriend now flirt with the girl beside him.
When your mind wasn’t wandering with thoughts of pain and heartbreak, it was full of thoughts of Peter and the moment you shared in the hallway. 
It wasn’t that you’d never had a moment like that with Peter before, you’d had plenty of moments in which he comforted you while you were upset and visa versa. You were best friends, of course you’d have your fair share of comforting moments, such as the time when you spent a week at Peter’s house after his uncle passed away. 
However, while you sat in class with your pen between your lips as you watched and counted down the minutes to the bell ringing,  you couldn’t shake the feeling that that moment in the hallway meant something more to you. 
As the bell finally rang, you practically ran out of the classroom and into the hall, only to run into the person you were looking for. 
You feel backwards and onto the floor, slightly shocked by your bottom hitting the ground as Peter’s hand shot out towards you as he bent over. 
“Shit, Y/n, you okay?” He asked as you grabbed his hand and allowed for him to help you up. 
You dusted yourself off before picking up your bag. “Yeah, I’m fine.” 
“What were you running for?”
“I was, uh, looking for you. We’re supposed to go to a movie, right?”
Peter nodded, starting to walk towards the front entrance of the school, his hands shoved into his pockets as you walked closely beside him. 
“Are you feeling better?” He asked after the silence between you felt too heavy for him to bear. 
“I don’t know.” You shrugged. “I don’t know how I could really feel better while having to see my newly ex flirt with another girl not even 24 hours after our breakup.”
“I’m sorry, Bug.”
“It’s not your fault.” You shrugged, kicking a rock that sat on the sidewalk in front of you. “He can do what he wants. He’s a single man now.” 
“I wouldn’t call him much of a man.” Peter admitted, taking a look in your direction.
You kicked the rock again as you approached it, watching it bounce and tumble down the sidewalk and into the grass. 
“Are MJ and Ned going to meet us at the theater or what’s the plan?” You asked, trying to derail the conversation from the topic you had no interest in rehashing.
Peter pulled a hand from his pocket and rubbed the back of his neck before putting it back in his pocket. He should’ve known you’d ask about the other two people who were supposed to be in attendance to your evening out. 
“MJ had to go to detention since she’s behind on her sketchbook work for art class. You know how she is, likes to draw people in detention for whatever reason. And Ned went home sick after lunch. He made the mistake of eating the meatloaf.” He lied, surprised he thought of something believable off the top of his head. 
In reality, he paid MJ twenty dollars to refrain from going to the movie and to lie about her whereabouts, something she never had trouble at doing, and he promised Ned that he’d spend the rest of the weekend helping him build another Star Wars lego model even though Peter wanted to grow out of the habit of playing with legos. 
You frowned a bit, having hoped you could’ve had some much needed girl time with MJ and wanting the funny commentary and banter of Ned during a movie that would normally terrify you. 
“Oh. Well, that sucks, but it’s okay. At least we’re still going together.” You raised your frown into a slight smile. 
Silence fell between you once again, leaving the only audible sound to be the wind and your heels hitting the ground in unison as you walked towards the movie theater. 
“Don’t worry about paying tonight. It’s my treat.” Peter stated as the theater came into view on the horizon. 
“Oh, Peter, you don’t have to.” 
“No, I want to. Just let me treat you to a night out. I feel bad that you’ve been having a rough day, so it’s the least I could do.”
You reached out and grabbed his arm, stopping him in his tracks before you engulfed him into a hug with your arms tight around his neck and your perfume filling his nostrils. 
“Peter Parker, you are truly my best friend and the love of my life.” You announced proudly, not realizing that the words warmed Peter in a way he’d never experienced before.
“I love you too, Y/n, but I cannot breathe with you choking me out like this.” He said softly, pretending to wheeze as you pulled away, giving him a shove.
“You are so dramatic.” You chuckled, starting to walk down the sidewalk once again. 
“I’m dramatic?” Peter scoffed as he jogged to keep up with you. “Aren’t you the theater nerd?”
“Doesn’t mean you’re not also a drama queen.” 
“I’ll have you know, I am very good at keeping my cool.”
“Tell that to Flash Thompson and your little rivalry.”
“Flash is an asshole.” 
“I’m not saying he isn’t,” you argued, “all I’m saying is that you get a bit dramatic with him. I like to think he’s secretly in love with you.” 
“Ew, gross.” Peter shook his head. “Flash is the last person I’d want a dramatic romance with.” 
“I think Flash is the last person anyone wants to have a romance with.” You laughed.
Peter was glad that it seemed your spirits were lifting as you finally made it to the theater. He could feel his own spirits lifted by your bettering mood which left him not needing to worry as much. 
He didn’t know whether it was the elation in mood he was feeling between the two of you or the instinctive urge to keep you close and protected that had him reaching for your hand as he opened the door to the theater to let you in first, but as you walked through the corridor, he grabbed it without thought or hesitation. 
You didn’t know what possessed him to grab your hand either, but you found yourself refraining from questioning it, wanting to feel the warmth and caring touch of someone else. Though your spirits were lifted a bit, you still felt lonely deep down. 
“Are you okay?” Peter asked, glancing down at you as he grabbed the tickets from the girl at the ticket counter and began to guide you towards the snack bar. 
You nodded, unsure of what to say as Peter continued to watch you closely. You held your breath, suddenly nervous with his eyes on you before you were saved by his eyes travelling to view the menu far above your head. 
“I’m thinking we get a large popcorn and two sodas.” He thought out loud as you frowned. “Unless, that’s not what you want?”
You blinked, shaking your head quickly as you spoke. “No, no, sorry. I got lost in thought. That sounds fine. I’m not that hungry, though.” 
“How are you not hungry? You ate two bites of mac and cheese at lunch and then pushed it around on your tray.”
You shrugged, pulling your hand from his and crossing your arms over your chest. You were somewhat building up an appetite, but every time you did, you suddenly felt sick by your own intrusive thoughts about your heartache and break up with a boy you knew you shouldn’t have been crying over. 
“I guess I’m not really in the mood to eat too much.” You finally said. 
“Well, I’m still getting the large and if you ask for any, I won’t give you some. You already said no.” Peter teased. 
“Oh, you would never say no to me.” 
“You wanna bet?” Peter raised a brow as you reached the front of the short line. 
“I’ll bet you a bag of overpriced M&M’s.” 
“I thought you weren’t hungry.” 
“I am always hungry for M&M’s.”
Peter smiled with a light eye roll. “Alright, but you can’t eat any until we determine who won.” 
“Deal.” 
You smiled as he turned away from you, ordering your snacks and you began taking each one from him before he carried the popcorn and his drink and you carried your own drink and the bag of M&M’s you were so excited to win. You watched your feet fall to the ground to his in unison as you two stayed silent, trying to navigate the hallway for the theater your movie was in.
“Hey, Peter?” You caught the boy’s attention as he walked through the open door of your theater, a fistful of popcorn in his hand as he looked at you. 
“Yeah?” He began walking backwards as he faced you and tossed the popcorn into his mouth.
“Can I have some popcorn?” 
“Yeah, sure.” He nodded as he spoke through his mouthful of popcorn and held the bucket out to you. 
You began laughing, taking a few pieces of popcorn and popping them into your mouth. 
“Why are you laughing?” Peter asked as you were giggling beside him now following him up the stairs of the theater before looking down at his bucket. “Oh. I guess you can have those M&M’s after all.” 
“We just made this bet! How’d you forget already?” You chuckled, walking past him and into an aisle, picking the perfect seat in the middle of the theater. 
“I-I don’t know! I got so involved in the popcorn I forgot.” 
“I guess that’s one way of saying you want to marry a food item.” You teased as he rolled his eyes and took a seat beside you. 
“You know, I’m not going to get mad cause you’re going through it, but when you’re over it, I will get you back for this.” 
“How? You’re already a victim of premature Alzheimer’s. You won’t remember this by the time I get a new boyfriend.”
You reached over, grabbing a handful of popcorn and beginning to eat the pieces one by one as you watched Peter closely. 
“You know, sometimes I hate you.” 
“No, you don’t.” 
“How would you know?”
“Cause you don’t even have a mean bone in your body. Flash bullies you mercilessly and you don’t even say anything back.” 
“Is that a bad thing?”
“No.” You shook your head. “It makes you a good guy. And we need good guys in this world.”
“You think I’m a good guy?”  Peter raised his brow as you nodded wildly at him.
“Of course I do.” You leaned over, placing a hand on his. “You’re not just a good guy, but a guy too good for this world, you know? You deserve the world, but the world doesn’t deserve you.” 
Peter leaned in close to you. “Sorry, I don’t think I heard that.” 
You could feel your breath hitch as he leaned in, his face a few mere inches from yours. It wasn’t that you were scared, but nervous at your excitement at the thought of him kissing you. 
Peter could feel your anxious energy as he leaned in close, the urge to kiss you in the way he’d always wanted to growing strong as he moved his head so your lips were lined up to his ear. It wasn’t that he wanted to kiss you, but he didn’t want to take advantage of your loneliness in that moment. 
You leaned in close to his ear, your nostrils now full of his shampoo as you spoke softly. “I said that I thought you were such a great guy that you deserve the world, but the world doesn’t deserve you.” 
“You mean that?” He answered back, his voice as soft as your own.
He did dare lean back or move his head from the position it was in for fear that he’d kiss you so soon. The words you were saying were ones he always wanted you to say, but never thought would come out. He wanted to be everything you ever wanted, but your words now felt somewhat short yet so close to that sentiment. 
“Of course I do.” You replied, your own urge to kiss him rising steadfast in the back of your mind. 
You couldn’t tell if it was your loneliness or the sudden dimming of the theater lights that had you realizing that all you wanted was to cross the line of friendship with Peter, a line you never realized was made to be crossed when it came to your friendship. 
Every touch, every sweet nothing, every thing about him you loved began to swirl around in your mind as you pulled away from him and gazed into his eyes before planting your lips on his, pushing him back into the armrest of his seat. 
Peter was shocked by the gesture as he leaned into the kiss, his hands resting on your cheeks before you pulled away from him breathlessly. 
“Y/n, I-”
“Peter.” You cut him off before giggling. “Go ahead.” 
“Bug, I don’t want you to think I’m taking advantage of you and your feelings about your breakup even though I really like you and-” 
You cut the boy off with another kiss, not wanting to hear what he had to say. You knew he was going to give you some speech about how you might not know what your feeling and so on, but you didn’t care. You knew that you kissed him and you liked it and that it felt more right than any date with Brad. 
You pulled away, putting a hand over his mouth before he could speak as you began to instead. “Peter, I know how I feel. I like you too, okay? Now, can we just take advantage of the fact we’re some of the few people in here and just hang out?”
Peter nodded, pulling your hand off of him. “I think I’d like that.”

A/N: i’ve never posted anything here before, so let’s pray i actually did this right. anyways, i hope you enjoy this!
Tumblr media
Steve’s never said it out loud before - only because he’s never been prompted - but the transition from fall into winter is his favorite time of year. Losing his family so young proves for harsh memories, but when Thanksgiving turns into a small event spent watching heist movies - he’s really grown a liking for Ocean’s Eleven and Tower Heist - and preparing mac n cheese and stuffing with you in his arms, he can only see the upsides. You. His girl.
It’s probably your favorite, too, if you’re honest… Something about the cold weather in New York seems to discourage criminals. You can’t complain. Wouldn’t even dare, because it means more time spent with him.
He came home around seven last night with a new VHS tape (something he learned about and just won’t let go) and two bottles of Chateau Montelena - pronounced ‘Sha-Too Mon-Tell-A-Nuh’ as a terrible, terrible joke he won’t let go - in which you, with a smile on your face, caught the implications of the ruby liquid he clutched for dear life:
“Red wine is slutty, Steven.”
“Color me slutty, then.”
It was the first time you’d had your hands on him in a month, and now that you’re watching him sleep, mesmerized by the little sounds he makes - those soft, tiny noises akin to those of a cat’s purrs - and the way he bunches up the blankets when he flips over those few times throughout the night, burying himself like an adorable little groundhog - you think, ‘I wish I could have you to myself all the time.’
(It’s selfish, but whatever.)
You wrap your arms around him, pull him in close to feel his warmth. He always smells good, even when he’s just come home all sweaty, you’ve found, and you still don’t know how it’s possible for someone to smell like comfort. Warmth.
Cinnamon and bonfires. Cinnamon from the soap he’s fallen in love with, and bonfires from… somethin’. You don’t know, and neither does he.
You run your nails over his scalp, smelling his shampoo, desperate to have your hands all over. Fingertips meet carved marble - his pecs, abs - and you rake, rubbing your thumbs in slow circles to wake him easy. Maybe it’s selfish again - he’s probably tired, but you can’t resist. Refuse to, even, with the way the moonlight makes him glow, pale skin brought to life with glimmering, bluish light. Blue’s always been his color.
He groans, still sleepy before he rolls over to face you, nudging your hip to flip you over. “Hey, doll.” His words, groggy, rumble against the back of your neck, arm sliding down to clutch the space just under your breasts. He hooks, possessive. “Time is it?”
“Three A.M.”
You rut your ass back into his hips, his cock, already half-hard, and he gets the memo, knows you’re wanting. He hums, and the sound sends chills up your spine as he slips a hand to the space just below your ear and strokes gently, moving any errant hairs out of the way with a hazy, rough whisper of, “Needy baby.”
Kisses to that spot right below your earlobe make you tremble, your body lighting up with that familiar feeling he never fails to provide, his hands heavy and warm, his touches electricity. He guides your hand back to his boxers before pulling down your panties just enough for access. “You want it slow, doll?” he says, reclaiming his cock with his own hand, sluicing up the tip with the slick gushing from your pussy.
A weak nod is all he needs before he maneuvers your legs and slides inside, slow, so, so slow, lowly moaning in your ear with every inch engulfed. He sighs when buried, stroking your hip before another languid stroke, admiring your perfect body - all his - in the dreary moonlight.
Soft whines, gentle moans, broken whispers of his name… He likes you like this - all… fragile from his touch, that slight rocking of your hips into his when he hits a spot that makes your toes curl - right there, Stevie - and that way you turn to pieces with every movement, every word. “You smell so good… Just like me…”
And then there’s a lazy rhythm, the occasional smack of his thighs against your ass, wet kisses pressed to your back, all while he tells you just how much he adores you, how much he missed you, with his hand nestled loosely underneath your chin, almost as if to say, Mine.
All mine again.
✾  ✾  ✾
A new day.
The midday sun creeps through the windows, illuminating tangled bodies and depleted wine bottles, crimson red morphed into emerald green. The yellow and orange rays swirl into a symphony, adorn his cut body, make him look so pretty.
Golden God. Beautiful.
You unwrap yourself from him after brief adoration, your mind already set on other tasks.
On the ottoman at the end of the bed, already unwrapped, lies the brand new sweater you just purchased, pre-distressed because you thought it’d be cute on him… but more importantly, you thought it’d be cute on you, too.
You slip it on, despite it being way too big for you - but that’s kind of the point - and head out onto the balcony that overlooks the backyard, adorned with a lemon and orange tree, both covered in a thin layer of frost from last night’s harsher weather. Today, though, it’s a cool fifty degrees, perfect for sitting and scrolling Instagram while in his sweater and sweats.
The door creaks as he slides out in a pair of plaid pajama pants, lifting his arm over his head to scratch his bicep, eyes squinted, still looking sleepy. You peer up at him over your phone with a smile, free hand reaching out to grasp for his, which he takes gently before pulling you out of your seat.
It’s almost instinctual, the way he guides you to the edge of the balcony and settles behind you, arms tucked under yours and wrapped around your stomach. The lemon tree is where he sets his sights, chin finding the nook of your shoulder and neck, the warmth from his chest pressing against your back. He hums, the vibrations ripple down your spine. “I love that tree.”
“I prefer the orange. She’s cuter.”
“Yeah, yeah,” he pauses to press a kiss into your jaw, “yeah…” Warmth meets your collarbones, his lips travelling your upper body as he strokes your hips, depriving you of the much appreciated heat across your stomach. You make a noise, a sort of… delighted disappointment - happy with the attention, missing his warmth - but then his hips drag forward, and that’s when you feel his cock, a hard line against his thin pants, rubbing deliciously against the globe of your ass -
Your stomach jumps when he does it again and nestles his body up to yours.
“Stevie…” you whisper, chills cascading down your back as he nudges your head to the side, carves out a place for his lips to land against the column of your throat. He bites lightly, and you immediately know what he’s feeling: lust, desire, need -
He wants to fuck. Now.
The thought gets lost in the press of his hand between your thighs, and any remaining sense packs up and leaves, no warning, no hesitation. He murmurs your name, and there’s some sort of… yearning about it, almost like he didn’t see you last night… “You should wear my stuff more often.” Your breath hitches when his hand slips beneath your waistband, fingers rolling over your clit in slow, hypnotic circles… “Looks good on you… Me.”
“Please.”
It’s intoxicating - him, his desperation, and it makes the synapses in your brain fizzle out, send electric shocks down to your toes and right back up to the tip of your head, and, yeah, it’s a different kind of heat, but one that burns in the same way, and then you realize - “Wait - We’re… It’s…”
You’re still outside.
“Hmm?” he says, slipping both waistbands off your actual waist, shimmying them below the curve of your ass before fondling with little groans, and, God, you’d kill to hear that sound more often, to hear his sounds more often -
You’re still outside.
“It’s cold.”
“What a shitty reason.”
Maybe it is.  
(It is.)
There’s a bit more maneuvering - your hips are pulled back to fit against his better, his pajama pants are shimmied down below his cock, and he’s rubbing the tip, dripping with precum, against your holes, which is making it so much fucking harder to focus on the fact that -
You’re still outside, and Steve fucking Rogers should not be trying to fuck you on your patio in the middle of fucking autumn because someone might fucking see - “But… you…” you take a deep breath, “…you don’t have a shirt on.” Another shitty reason. A prod at your entrance makes your legs weak, a little shake that clearly betrays how wrong you know this is -
“I’ll hold my hands in the holes of your sweater.”
“Oh, God - ” you sigh, all concerns temporarily fleeting when you feel him press past, slowly eating away at your resolve, warm, calloused hands rubbing at your skin.
“Good, baby?” he mutters, inhaling deeply when he brings his nose to the crook of your neck, letting your scent warm his chest. He wiggles his hips ever so slightly, lets you adjust to those few inches as he waits for a response, imprinting kisses into your throat, hands pawing your breasts through the soft material of the sweater.
You nod, get a few muffled words out, your grip tightening on the railing as he buries himself to the hilt, stretching tender skin taut, still slow, still holding you steady, so fucking deep. “What if someone sees?” you breathe, words getting caught in the back of your throat - God, you’re so full - as you peer over your shoulder at him, noticing his frosty eyes have been completely devoured by the onyx of his pupils, lids hooded, hair mussed. He’s hungry.
An open-mouthed kiss finds your neck. “Don’t care. Want you here,” he whispers.
Dirty boy.
You nod again, too… blissed out to do anything else but let him have you here - of all places, here - and you’d be a liar if you didn’t admit the faint thought of someone seeing makes your body thrum something awful. He rocks, just a bit, humming in your ear when your walls flutter around him, then again, and again, until he starts up a lusty rhythm, hips rolling into your ass, eyes fixed on the way your mouth stutters open every time he nudges that sweet spot inside. “Still my babydoll, aren’t ya?”
He leans down, hunches over you, hand sliding up your chest. It settles beneath your chin, strong, large, and two fingers slip under your tongue as he fucks. “Missed it. Missed you.” An errant bead of sweat catches between his teeth, licked from your neck, and his warmth sends little pricks through your skin. Knuckles turn white when he grazes your shoulder in a bite, sinking his teeth, and there will likely be a mark tomorrow, but the thought sends you reeling. “Tell me you missed me, baby.” His desperate tone is decorated with a shaky breath.
You whine, manage to get a few words out, muffled by his fingers thrusting gently, hand holding a loose grip on your jaw - his.
“Gonna make you sloppy, huh?” Tender, bruises on your insides, you feel him pounding, gripping, pawing, hand hooked in your mouth in greed, in possession, claiming you and embedding himself. He wants it all. “Gonna fuck you open, right here for everyone to see, sweetheart… see how much I missed ya…” He wraps himself around you, possesses you, makes you feel him everywhere, in every nerve, and your body thrums with excitement, head lolling back onto his shoulder, mouth drenching his fingers in spit.
How does he do it?
He slips a hand through one of the holes in the sweater, clutching your stomach, nails clawing your sensitive skin, begging to be everywhere at once, begging to feel himself everywhere at once - You’re mine, baby. -
The sounds keep getting caught in your throat as that sinful, obscene noise of his skin slapping against yours makes your stomach do flips, your sweetness swimming in the air from the wetness between your legs. His fingers dip down between your thighs, spreading your wetness around your clit in frantic, taunting circles, pressing, and rubbing, and rolling, and the coil in your stomach can’t stop tightening with the dirty words mumbled into your shoulder - Squeezin’ me good, yeah… Yeah, what if someone sees, doll? Sees you takin’ my cock so good? -
You moan, a wretched sound that pulls a little laugh from him when he discovers that, yeah, you actually like this, like the faint chance someone might see how needy Steve Rogers gets for you after he’s been away for too long, too depraved to even think straight without making sure his cock still fits the way he remembers, that you still feel the way he remembers, the way he dreams about when he has to spend nights at the Avengers compound. Like a glove one size too small - tight, and snug, and so, so perfect -
“My baby likes it, huh? Gonna leave you a mess for everyone to see, doll… You want that?”
“Please, Stevie - ”
“Come on,” he pants, fingers smearing your drool across your chin before turning your head over your shoulder. “Need my best girl to come for me - Make my cock filthy with it sweetheart - ”
His teeth graze your shoulder just as he bites one more time, and you fall apart, moaning his name like a bitch in heat, all sensations from the cold muted as you jerk your hips back into his, your pussy like a vise around his cock as he keeps slamming into that sweet spot -
“Gonna give it to you, baby… Gonna give it all to you - Been too long, y’know? Can’t - Can’t keep my fuckin’ hands offa you - Gonna fill you nice ‘n full, doll - ”
And with a strangled groan, he buries himself deep, hips rutting and painting your bruised insides with thick ribbons of white, the remainder of his thrusts absolutely deranged, grunts broken up by stuttering pulses, hands forcing your hips back into his with a bruising grip.
The two of you sit there for a while, you desperately trying to catch your breath, collar wicked with sweat, him panting and whispering nonsense into your ear - You’re so good to me - and decorating your cheek and neck with sloppy, wet kisses. He pulls out after you feel like you can stand, and feels his chest tighten at the way his seed looks spilling out of you, adorning the insides of your thighs with his mark. Wrong for Captain America to be turned on by that, isn’t it?
Oh, God, how he’s missed you.
He pets the inside of your thighs with a few fingers before gathering the juices, then bringing slickened fingertips up to your lips.
You whine at the taste, sending the vibrations through his hand as you clean him with a smile on your face, licking your lips, He growls before kissing you hard, gripping the back of your head harshly, craning your neck backward to have you the way he wants you, until he sighs into your mouth. 
“S’little bit cold, isn’t it?”

Wild Blue
Look, it's not everyday I give you wholesome shit, hell not even every month. But you got luckily... apparently. Boys playing in the water and being stupid? Yes please, I think we need this.
◈ ━━━━━━ ◆ ━━━━━━ ◈
The boys didn't often have a minute to themselves, but when they did, when they had free time, Havoc was never quiet. "I'm saying it's impractical to wear our armor when we don't have a mission, we have civilian attire for a reason, Echo." Tech rolled his eyes, he, as you imagine, was not wearing his armor nor his blacks, but whatever clothes they'd stolen over the years. "... and if we want to go steal stuff, we'll blend in perfectly with the population." Tech smiled, knowing he and Echo had made plans to do just that.
Echo frowned, "Yeah whatever." He crossed his arms, pouting as he tried to think of something witty as a way to insult Tech, but that thought was quickly interrupted, "Uh Wrecker, why are you carrying around Hunter?" Echo asked, looking up from his holopad. Tech also looked up, the smallest smile on his face.
"Oh!" Wrecker's smile grew, "He was just sitting there so I picked him up, he's just living in the moment now! See." Wrecker then turned around.
Hunter, who looked as if he had been sleeping, lifted his head, "How's it hanging?" He smiled, waving softly. Echo chuckled a little, hand to his mouth to try to hide it. Hunter then let his head fall again, maybe he was trying to sleep.
"He likes it!" Wrecker said as he turned back around.
"Yeah!" Hunter assured, there was a little laugh in his voice, it was as if they were cadets again. Wrecker always picked him up. Hunter had been pretty weirded out the first time Wrecker did pick him up. But he'd gotten used to, Hunter was never doing anything better and Wrecker also took him to the right place. Where ever his brothers were.
Crosshair peaked his head out from the doorway, and with a giddy laugh he ran up to Wrecker and jumped, "Me too!" He would've tackled Wrecker to the ground, but Wrecker wasn't caught off guard. Also, Crosshair is not strong enough to knock Wrecker off his feet.
"Ah! I got 'em both!" Wrecker laughed, picking Crosshair up and slinging him over his other shoulder. Crosshair took a minute to ensure he wouldn't fall, once he did he looked down to Hunter and fist bumped him. "Time to go!" Wrecker started moving, getting nonstop laughs from his brothers. Tech and Echo trailed closely behind as Wrecker ran outside the ship.
"Just run and jump on him, you'll fit." Tech prompted, taking note on how Echo eyeballed the three.
"Oh no, I couldn't." Echo shook his head. Tech gave him a shove, "Oh fine!" He huffed, running and jumping up on Wrecker's back. "I'm here-!" Crosshair and Hunter both made sure Echo wouldn't fall, their hands on his back that only moved once he felt he wouldn't fall.
"Ah!" Wrecker laughed, adjusting to the weight of another brother. "Tech you coming?" He turned around and looked at his brother. Hunter lifted his head, almost falling in the process. Echo was holding onto Wrecker's head and Crosshair was just sitting there, sticking his tongue out at Tech.
"...I don't think there is anymore room, so..." He stated, a small smile creeping on his face as he came up with an excellent idea. "...See ya, losers!" Tech laughed as he bolted the other direction towards the lake they'd landed nearby. As he ran, he threw his helmet at his brothers, luckily Echo caught it before it hit Wrecker. Who was charging full speed after Tech into the water.
When Wrecker had ran deep enough into the water, he flung his brothers off, sending them flying into the lake. Wrecker then picked up Tech, "Can't escape me, brother!" he laughed as dunked Tech's head underwater, then dropping him.
Tech floated back up to the surface, lifting his goggles up to wipe his eyes, he then threw them to shore. "How about we play a game of- Shit!" He screamed as Crosshair, who was underwater, yanked on Tech's leg and made him fall again. Crosshair emerged and burst out laughing.
Hunter had Echo on his shoulders, they were going after Wrecker, the two tackled their older brother, he plunged into the water. He stayed underwater for much longer than he should have. "Uh oh." Hunter said as he scanned the water trying to see Wrecker under the water. "Echo abort! Save yourself!" Hunter cried as Echo jumped off, swimming to safety with Crosshair. As soon as Echo was gone, Hunter was pulled under the water, Wrecker waved to him before swimming up. Hunter lingered there for a minute before he resurfaced.
When he did, he saw his brothers playing chicken, which is what Tech was going to suggest before Crosshair interrupted him. He came over, watching them, a smile on his face. Crosshair lost against Echo, falling off Tech's shoulders and into the water. Hunter then intervened, allowing Tech to get on his shoulders for round two.
As you can imagine, the boys went about this until the sun had set. Echo and Tech had completely forgotten about their plan to rob several stores of their foods and alcohols. "...But could we even buy alcohol? 'Cause at 79's they know we're clones" Echo asked, he was laying on the ground with Tech, the two were stargazing, "Also, we don't have IDs and like, we're all twelve."
Tech turned his head, chuckling softly, "No, I don't think we could, that's why we made a plan to steal it, Vod." He rolled his eyes, flicking Echo's head.
"You were going to steal something without me?" Crosshair asked, sounding genuinely offended. He stood by their heads, looking down, he had plates of food in his arms. They two of them made Crosshair get them food, he was the youngest, he had no choice.
"Damn right." Echo smiled as he sat up, taking a plate, "Thanks bubba." He said, grabbing a fork and taking a bite of Hunter's 'infamous but not really 'cause it's Hunter's mac-n-cheese.' Tech took his plate and also thanked Crosshair, who sat down with them.
"The night is still young, we can go, but it's almost your bedtime, Crosshair, you'd have to ask Hunter." Tech smirked, eyeballing Crosshair as he took a bite of his food.
Crosshair shot Tech a defeated glare, he tried to be offended, but he failed. He made a face before turning his head, "Hunter! They wanna go steal stuff, can I go?!" He yelled. Echo and Tech burst out laughing, not expecting him to actually do it. He did it out of spite. Hunter would say yes and then they'd have to take him.
Hunter turned his head away from the grill, "What? Yeah, just don't do anything to the population!" He called back before turning back to Wrecker. "Yeah, so I was tellin' Tech that just because he's smart doesn't mean he can tie his shoes."
Wrecker nodded, "Exactly, doing algebra scary fast doesn't mean you can get all of us ready to fight in fifteen minutes before a battle." Wrecker took another bite of the mac-n-cheese, looking over to his brothers, who were all laughing together over in the dirt.
"You get me," Hunter said, "It's not about book smart, it's about street smarts."
"But I don't know shit about streets-"
"Not actually streets," Hunter shook his head, "... I think." He mumbled before shoving his face with food to avoid questions. Wrecker nodded, very wise was his little brother.
"Anyway, look at Crosshair, can you believe him?" Hunter shook his head, making eye contact with Crosshair, who had gotten up and had come towards the two.
"What did I do?" Crosshair asked, "I just wanted more food." He whined, shuffling to them as Hunter set down his plate, took Crosshair's and gave him more food.
"I can't believe you, you're atrocious." Wrecker gave Crosshair a soft shove, Crosshair tried to hide his grin as Hunter handed him his plate.
"Oh yeah, I'm terrible, ya'll should just leave me on Kamino one of these days." He laughed as he turned away, walking back to Tech and Echo.
"What an idiot."
"Ugh, I know right?"
The two shared another laugh and continued to diss their little brothers, but luckily, they were doing the same thing. "Yeah, no, Hunter's hair? Nothing special, now General Skywalker is fucking ugly," They all nodded in agreement as Echo spoke, "But he knows how to do his hair. Hunter needs to use better conditioner, the general would go to Amidala's place and come back smelling like an angel." Which helped with his face.
"I agree, in comparison to General Skywalker, Hunter's looks are not on a vomit-inducing scale." Tech added, stacking his empty plate on top of Echo's also empty plate.
"But he's still ugly."
"Oh, very."
Crosshair laughed as he chewed, trying his best not to choke. "Can we go now?" He said when he'd finished eating. Tech and Echo both glared at him for a solid thirty seconds before nodding and getting up. Crosshair got up, having to catch up with them. They dropped their plates off. Echo and Tech simply said they were heading out, but Crosshair lingered, "We'll be back, I- I can do the dishes when we get back," He muttered, "Uh, bye."
"Bye, bubba." Hunter smiled, waving Crosshair off. Crosshair had a giddy smile, giving them a nod and a thumbs up before turning around and running after Tech and Echo, who were practically already out of sight.
"Hey! You assholes!" Crosshair screamed as he ran after them, "Wait! I'm scared of the dark!" He called as he caught up with them. Wrecker and Hunter smiled fondly. It was a good day.
"....Crosshair isn't gonna do the dishes." Hunter said once they'd stood there in silence for several minutes.
"Yeah, no he isn't." Wrecker agreed as he helped Hunter clean up. Wrecker loaded their grill back up as Hunter took the plates and food back inside. "We'll make Tech do them." Wrecker called as he locked the compartment the grill was in, he then headed back inside, "Hide his armor so he'll have motivation." Wrecker suggested once he was back inside. Hunter was putting the dishes in the sink, he looked up to Wrecker and chuckled,
"Good idea!"

Please don't feel discouraged about your food defaults! They're amazing and probably the best I've ever seen for this game! They've made my game so much better already.
If it feels like too much, you could maybe try to default just the "worst offenders" that have not been defaulted yet (I'm talking about the really unappetizing looking stuff like the salad, chili, mac n cheese or pork chops for example) and skip the foods that already have nice looking defaults (like the grilled cheese sandwiches or the spaghetti for example) or already look okay (eg baked alaska).
Thanks anon. If you guys like them then I’ll keep making them but I’m not sure I want them for my game anymore. I think they *could* look really good with minor adjustments (mainly better half eaten state meshes and the lack of the syrup on the bottom of the plate for the pancakes, for example) but I have my own limitations and get bored/frustrated really easily. :P And I still maintain that with good textures the Maxis meshes would probably look 10 times better than any “conversion.” 
You’re 100% right about the chili though, oh my god what the HELL is that. I just had my sims make it for the first time in forever and I completely forgot how terrible it is. I’ll tackle that one next.

Kaminari Denki headcannons!!
Bc it’s his bday and I love him (this will not cover his fam bc I switch between backstories with him so much that I just have no clue)
Buckle up bc this is a very long post I did not mean to get this deep lol
Let’s start with the most obvious- he makes friends easily, but I’m not just talking other students, I’m also talking the staff. This boy makes friends with the janitors and the lunch ladies and even the teachers!! He also makes friends with the security bots and pranks them a lot
This stems from him wanting ppl to like him. I think this bc of the fact that his character sheet says he likes all things “trendy” - I think he rlly wants to be known as the cool guy bc he is rlly insecure of himself
And as much as I think he is very trendy, I also think he is a big literature nerd! I believe he is more likely to listen to audio books tho, but I’m not entirely 100% sure though. He tries to keep this underwrap, but eventually he does join momo’s book club and brings completely different analysis to the table :D
He is just generally into the arts (we see this in cannon- he plays guitar, is seen drawing Aizawa, references Hemingway) so I see him as a more creative guy rather than a logically minded dude
This boy has adhd, anxiety, and dyslexia and dyscalcula (he was able to work through dyslexia bc he read so much, but still has problems with his dyscalcula) and this causes issues for him in school. He also a HUGE procrastinator. He often feels stupid and dumb bc if it (also doesn’t help that even his friends joke abt it too, but as long as it’s just a joke he shouldn’t make a big deal abt it right??)
I say he has anxiety because of the way he reacts to when he is training- always panicking and frying his brain. I think what stans between him and being rlly op is his anxiety and view of himself
Speaking of him frying his brain, I headcannon he has litchenburg figures, which if u don’t know r these rlly cool scars that look kinda like branches with what kinda looks like flowers so cool tbh, and BEFORE u say “he obviously doesn’t have them cannonly” let me just say that his quirk affects his brain cannonly!! It’s not weird for it to also affect his skin!!! I think he might have had litchenburg figures if they were more commonly known as it is a very cool thing tbh
I also think that bc his brain gets impacted by his quirk, sometimes his nerves get impacted too. This means he sometimes can’t taste food (and he doesn’t eat it when he can’t taste it, which pisses Bakugo off) and he also can’t feel things as well (I believe the class figures this out after Denki went to poor himself some tea but didn’t know the kettle was still rlly hot and so he grabbed it not knowing he was burning himself until he handed it over to someone who then dropped the pot bc it was so hot- needles to say he had to go to recovery girl that day)
He has never been to the aquarium bc as a child he had terrible control over his quirk and that made ppl nervous to put him near water (he goes as a teen with the bakusquad and is absolutely floored- his favorite creatures are of course all the sting rays, jelly fish, and electric eel- cue bakusquad comparing him to the brainless jellyfish)
He also doesn’t know how to swim till he was in middle school (once he was in better control of his quirk he went out and learned to swim on his own bc he had to learn how if he wanted to be a hero u know? He never quit got the hang of it tho)
Storms make him very energized and his already low ability to focus worsens. Prone to accidentally zapping ppl. He mostly stays in his room when storms happen bc he doesn’t want to hurt ppl/ wreck electronics on accident. He doesn’t even get to chat with friends on the phone bc he would wreck it so storms get rlly lonely :(
Also is basically a lightning rod. It hurts bc of how forceful it is, but it’s also not that big of a deal to him
Is prtty forgetful unfortunately due to all the times he fried his brain. It’s something he really tries not to think about
He probs can’t sleep very easily due to all his energy
He hates frying his brain bc it’s very hard to understand what’s going on when he does. Everything is a lot more sluggish and things are simultaneously way too much and he gets hyper sensitive and at the same time his senses are also very groggy and weird. It’s over all a bad time, but he got used to it
Whenever he fried his brain instead of being all wheyyy and thumbs upy he use to act more vegetative which rlly freaked ppl out so he eventually learned to get to where he is now when he fries his brain
Kids use to take advantage of his whey mode and do pranks on him which often got him hurt, but he never rlly felt it at first so he didn’t mind to bad. As long it was just joking and they were having fun right??
Time for happy ones!! His favorite foods (besides burgers, those r his favorite cannonly) all have some coralation with memes (speggeti tacos, mac n cheese, “chonky” milk, chicken nuggy, etc)
He is a meme lord yes
Stans pikachu (obvi)
U cannot convince me that he doesn’t paint his nails black, maybe with a little lightning bolt on his middle finger. This boy cannonly wears a choker common
He does face masks with Mina!! I believe he cares abt his looks greatly, and does beauty routines with Mina all the time. I’m constantly switching btween wether or not he owns it, or is a bit insecure and tries not to show this side to much to the boys
Why does this show not give him skinny jeans?? I mean common his entire style calls for skinny jeans. Maybe it’s Japan fashion or smth bc if it was in America he’d have skinny jeans bc it’s the trendy thing u know
Cannot cook. Can barely work the microwave. Claims unmarked food and eats it at midnight
Has a lot of weird info stored in his brain- how weather works, psychology stuff, weird facts abt bees, etc- that he learns randomly, never rlly trying to learn them but it sort of just happens u know. This frustrates Bakugo and jirou to no end bc he knows all these useless facts about how 1,200,000 mosquitos is all it takes for them to all at once drain a human of all their blood in a second, but not about how to work the pathagorean theorem
Idk why I think this (and it’s a popular headcannon too), but he knows at least 3/4 languages. It just suits him?? Bc he is a ppl person??? I don’t know??
Gets major test anxiety
Teachers either love him or hate him no in between. A lot of his elementary teachers absolutely hated him and would tear him down by calling him stupid and annoying. In middle school when he learns to control his quirk better, teachers rlly liked him- in the way that class clown trouble makers are liked by teachers. He may not excel in his class but he is a pretty funny dude.
He is constantly either underestimated or overestimated. Kaminari himself does this as well. It’s part of the issue with his hero training
Cats do not like him. They may like being petted bc if the static electricity, but when Kami pets cats he just absorbs the static- no pleasure :(((- or he accidentally has too much static electricity. If so then only tge rlly fluffy cats like him. Either case, shinsou finds a cat that likes kaminari as well and it is very cute :33
THE class prankster. Even on the teachers! The death glare Aizawa gave him on the one time prancing him worked is one kaminari will never forget (he still tries to prank him despite this lol)
Constantly teasing Bakugo as a way to press his buttons. It’s debatable on wether or not this helps bakugo’s anger issues
He is the wingman between Bakugo and Kirishima change my mind!!
Also mandatory kaminari is bisexual headcannon bc he rlly gives me those vibes. I think he doesn’t know yet that he’s bisexual, and when he thinks a fellow bro is hot he thinks he’s just admiring his bro u know. Maybe even thinks he is jealous. He does flirt with all genders tho mostly as a joke. He draws dicks as jokes but he always puts a little too much detail in them for him to rlly be straight
Can be used as a defibrillator as long as he can focus
Honestly there’s so much stuff kaminari has the potential to do with his quirk it’s a shame the manga/anime doesn’t use it
Like I rlly want to see him use his quirk in training to blow out all the lights in a building so he can use it for his advantage
That’d be badass
Also his quirk makes him very hard to be caught when their training. He can slip out of ppls grasp easily with a shock, and he also just has good reflexes in genral (I think this is cannon). Cue class 1-a running around trying and failing to catch him lol. Their best bet is to get him to fry his brain :(
He was popular in school before UA bc of his quirk and bc of how charming and easy to get a long with he is. This lead a lot of his friends to be very shallow. He didn’t rlly think about wether or not someone was trying to be his friend or not, he just liked being liked. This lead him to his whole liking trendy things, and he often felt that if he wasn’t seen as cool or funny his friends would all leave him. His whole rlly liking to talk thing caused a lot of ppl to think he was annoying at times, but he was never rlly able to lose that trait
The bakusquad was the first friend group he got rlly close too. He felt he can be himself around them and be the crackhead he was always meant to be. He still always concerned about wether they might leave him if he’s too annoying bc of anxiety but he’s getting better :)
He is a bringer of chaos and that’s part of his charm! Never dull with Denki around. He’s always doing the weirdest stuff, and ever since Mina, Kiri, and Sero, this has only doubled!
He is always calling Momo a genius (bc she is) and they are rlly good friends
Is an unofficial emo squad member (just look at his hero costume)
A sinnamon roll I’m srry but he ain’t a cinnamon roll. He has a dirty mind lol
Peepee jokes
Probably does tik tok dances I’m sorry
Nintendo fan for life
Xbox or PlayStation?- “Nintendo wut u mean”
Abbreviates so much it’s kinda hard to read,. Like if u thought I was bad this boy is soo much worse
It’s kinda ironic bc he has a very large vocabulary lol
He only uses it when he’s being sassy or very passionate
Mixes his gen z lingo with his big brain vicab to create atrocities of sentences
”bro the rise of the proletariat is lit tbh”
He is the worst to text with. He gives Bakugo aneurysms
Yeet yote to be yoted
3am shower thoughts
Unpopular opinion: i don’t think he likes weed. It probs reminds him too much of his whey mode
He’s a good strategist, but let’s the other team members think of the plans bc of insecurity, and otherwise his anxiety causes his smartness to shut down
Very good at zoning out. Sometimes he accidentally zones out so hard during class he misses the entire lesson and is only brought out bc of the school bell. Aizawa is best at snapping him out of it
Tbh I don’t think UA would be good with mental health. You’d think they’d hire a professional therapist or smth, but maybe it’s bc hero’s are so glorified ppl don’t ever think about these issues
I doubt the teachers had very good teacher training u know
We’ve mostly seen young heroes. I bet that’s bc they die so often, and if they don’t die in battle the mental health issues that stem from trauma and the media’s pressure are such an issue that it’s not uncommon for hero work to have high suicide rates
Anyway I’m starting to lose track of things thanks for coming to my ted talk I think I’ll stop here

I have literally no clue how to do this, but director’s commentary on your ‘One expensive can of easy cheese’ fic?
hell yeah!!
all comments will be in bold
______
Race was sat on top of the counter in his and Albert’s apartment, race only knows how to sit on counters lets be real, he can't sit in a chair to save his life a piece of duct tape over his mouth and his hands tied together with kitchen twine KINKYY. He sighed against his restraints, resigned to watch his boyfriend make their contribution to this year’s Thanksgiving gathering: mac and cheese. okay so its mac and cheese cause if you read spies mac and cheese is Literally the Only thing albert knows how to cook, other than coffee, and he's Really Fuckin Good At It (he's the mikey of mac and cheese okay this is my hc)
Now, of course everyone and their mother knew that mac and cheese was not a Traditional Thanksgiving Food is it though, r a c e r?. But, Albert had won (best out of three) mario kart yesterday so he had gotten to decide what they would bring to Jack’s house i was gonna make it rock paper scissors, i do not know hot to play mariokart, but it sounds more heated than rock paper scissors. Had Race known that he had been planning to make mac and fucking cheese, maybe he would have tried a little harder race be quiet you literally love alberts mac and cheese its a known fact.
Apparently, Albert was not pleased with Race’s reaction to his decision to make mac and cheese, and thought that Race might try to get in the way somehow (which he may or may not have fully intended to do) he did. So he did what any loving boyfriend would: sat him on the counter, put duct tape over his mouth and tied his hands together so he wouldn’t interfere albert sounds real kinky in this, why did i make this so kinky, wait when did i even write this.
Race was beginning to wonder why he had agreed to move in with Albert in the first place. CAUSE YOU LOVE HIM THATS WHY
With a violent shake of his head and one final spat who the fuck uses the word spat huh saph??, he was able to dislodge the duct tape d i s l o d g e thats some karen bs right there.
“Albieeeeee,” he whined, laying down on the counter. “Can you pleaaaaaaaseee let me helllllllllp?” yeah albert let him help jeez he's the one who actually knows how to cook
Albert barely glanced up as he pulled the big wooden spoon out of the pot and gave it a thoughtful lick note to self, all licks should always be thoughtful. “Hmmmmmmm. No.” dumbass. if only you knew what was coming.
“But-!” He wriggled w r i g g l e d around to give Albert his best puppy dog eyes. “Can I make something else then? Ple-OW!” He glared at the spatula that had been hurled at his arm. “You apologize for that!” damn albie why so mean? o wait i wrote this wait...
“Nah.” He smirked and went back to stirring his wretched pasta okay but i did a good job making race salty i gotta give myself that. Well, actually Albert’s mac and cheese was quite good hELL YEAH IT IS. Race was just salty that he was making it for Thanksgiving when it was very well known that he was the chef of the two and Jack was expecting something good not the mac and cheese Albert famously made at 2am in college when they were all high as hell. okay real talk tho, no one eats good mac and cheese in college, its the instant microwave shit cause were all broke so thats a lie race
“Can you at least untie me then?” ;)
“No.” Albert even bother considering this time. albert this is gettin Real Kinky..
“Well.” If logic wasn't going to work on Albert he would have to try another method. “I know you know how to make a guy feel good Albie HAH YES I KNEW I PULLED SOMETHING WEIRD, but I never expected ropes to be a part of it. What’s next? Handcuffs? Whips? Chains?” i gotta tell ya life without ya has been hard. hard? has been bad. bad? has been r o u g h. k i N kY
In two seconds flat Race was out of his kitchen twine bonds and flexing his sore wrists. LIKE HECK HE WAS CAUSE ALBERTS ACE AND HE DONT WANT THAT REPUTATION!!!
“Man Albie, who knew you had a twine kink.” hehe u go race
“You know,” Albert began loudly, as if thinking that his loudness would cover up his totally obvious twine kink yeah albie has a twine kink, he licks it, no this is a joke, “if you want to do something that's actually useful, you could go to Walgreens and buy me another can of Easy Cheese.” W A L G R E E NS. this whole fit was an excuse to write another part of the walgreens au
“Is that what you put in your fuckin mac and cheese?” Race swore he actually felt bile rise in the back of his throat when Albert nodded. “That’s it. I’m never eating your mac and cheese again.” BUT YOU LIKE IT
“But-!”
“I’ll eat you though,” Race winked, taking a moment to enjoy the startled, yet somehow pleased look on his boyfriend’s face. okay maybe albert wasn't ace in this particular fic...
“Not until after we’re done at Jack’s.” yeah definitely not scratch that. i write a lot of fics. Albert said only half jokingly as he dug around in his pocket for a second before throwing a crumpled five at Race. “In the meantime though, be gone thot!” GO AWAYYYY. IM A MAN OF GOD. mikey and my sister have subjected me to too many tik toks im sorry
Race barely managed to catch the bill without falling on the floor, but still blew a kiss to Albert before walking out of the apartment.
Who the fuck puts easy cheese in mac and cheese? albert does. but its actually a plot point just to get you to walgreens and if anyone puts easy cheese in mac and cheese i will fite you. He wondered for the millionth time as he stomped the three blocks to Walgreens. Albert claimed that he had chosen his apartment for its proximity to the store he did, actually, but up until today Race had always assumed that he had been joking he was not. The man did make a lot of mac and cheese and if Easy Cheese was an ingredient well….maybe there was some truth to that story after all. you can buy easy cheese at a lot of places tho...i don't actually know if you can buy easy cheese at a walgreens
Race pulled open the door to the Walgreens, pausing briefly to wonder why the absolute fuck it was open on literal Thanksgiving before remembering that it was a fucking Walgreens and why wouldn’t it be open to sell his dumbass boyfriend a can of fucking Easy Cheese. walgreens remains a mystery indeed. my only experience was the one that my best friend and i would go to at lunch during senior year. also have you ever noticed that most walgreenses are on corners? cause their slogan is at the corner of happy and healthy??
In order to get to the Easy Cheese, or at least he assumed so because he had never bought a can of Easy Cheese in his whole glorious 25 years of life a true chef, Race had to walk past the Pharmacy section of the store. And, it just so happened that there was a guy sitting behind the counter at the Pharmacy. A very attractive guy. With a beard. In scrubs. oh my god the most questionable villain I've ever written.
Now, of course Race loved Albert and nothing would ever change that, but he could appreciate an attractive man when he saw one indeed he could. He thanked whatever deity was out there for the bit of man candy M AN C AN D Y that he had been granted and went in search of his Easy Cheese. oh just you wait racetrack 
“Mac and cheese, velveta cheese, microwaveable mac and cheese, where the fuck is the- oh thank fuck there we go.” my best friend and i spent much time looking at the mac and cheese in walgreens He pulled a can of Easy Cheese off of the shelf, tossing it once and catching it athletics before turning to go pay for the horrendous product, happy to finally be done with the whole ordeal when- B R E T T 
“Easy cheese? Really?”
Race whirled whirled? saph please get a better vocabulary around to see Mr. Man Candy hA himself leaning against the opposite shelf. “Wh- who?”
“Oh,” he dusted his hand off on his scrubbs oh my god Wait i wrote this cause one time when i was in a walgreens i Did see a hot dude working the pharmacy and decided to write a fic about it!! i remember texting mikey about this hjfhgjhg, “allow me to introduce myself. My name is Brett O’Hare. and mikey came up with that name And you, sir, are a disgrace to society. The very reason why so many Americans are in poor health in this day and age.” brett is an obnoxious millennial in case you can't tell
“I’m sorry, what?”
“The Easy Cheese!” Brett gestured wildly toward the can in Race’s hand. “Gosh do you even know how many preservatives are in that stuff? And all the cancers that it can cause? It’s terrible. We wouldn’t need free healthcare if people just stopped eating Easy Cheese!” apparently he's a millennial who's also a republican...?
Race had lived in New York City his whole life, and he had seen some pretty strange things subway pizza rat, but never had he seen a pharmacist in a Walgreens lecture anyone about the health benefits of Easy Cheese. easy cheese has no health benefits. and if you'd stopped annoying your boyfriend maybe you wouldn't be there
“So let me get this straight,” Race rubbed his head, trying to make sense of the situation. “You go around yelling at people about the ingredients in the things that they are purchasing?” yeah its nyc people love to have Opinions. and so do millennials
“Yeah.”
“You do realize that this is a Walgreens, right? Everything in here probably contains some kind of chemical.” man brett has his work cut out for him. New Yorkers never ceased to amaze him.
“All the more reason for me to inform them of their poor eating habits!” Brett pointed a finger at him. “And stop distracting me! You’re the one buying the freaking easy cheese here!” this is so weird why did i come up with this idea. what possessed me. 
“It’s not even for me!” Race shouted back. “It’s for my boyfriend’s fucking mac and cheese that he insisted on making for Thanksgiving even though everyone knows that mac and cheese is not a fucking Thanksgiving food and he’s only making it cause he knocked me off the goddamn rainbow road right before the fucking finish line!” someones salty Race was fuming but the time that he was done.
“Oh, man I’m so sorry, that's lousy.” but it won't stop brett...
Race looked surprised. Of all the things that he thought he would get out of this Walgreens experience, a therapy session was indeed not on the list. But neither had been hearing a lecture about the preservatives in Easy Cheese from a pharmacist. i have literally no explanation for this train wreck of a fic
“But that doesn’t change the fact that you’re still buying Easy Cheese!” Between one second and the next, Brett had grabbed the can of Easy Cheese out of Race’s hand, wielding it like a brick ha percy jackson heroes of olympus anyone??. “Buy some fucking vegetables!” you can't buy vegetables in a walgreens brett
And with that, he struck Race over the head with the can of Easy Cheese.
Now, Race had definitely done some questionable things during his life Thats for sure. Once he had slept on the roof of his dorm building in January for a week because he lost his dorm key god why you can't even get on the roof of dorm buildings i know, I've tried, and another time he had been tricked into making an entire wedding cake using salt by Who??. However, being smacked over the head with a can of Easy Cheese by a health nut in scrubs on Thanksgiving put any and all other situations he had been in to shame in a walgreens don't forget. how did you forget that saph.  
He opened his eyes, suddenly blinded by the lights, and reached for his phone, muttering curses about man candy and vegetables as he should be. Squinting so he didn’t have to look at the screen, he somehow managed to dial Albert. no one d i a l s anyone saph. its the 21st century. i have like maybe 8 phone numbers memorized, half of them belong to my family the other half to people i knew in middle school.
“Racetrack Higgins, where is my Easy Cheese?”
Race pulled the phone away from his ear and winced at the sound of his boyfriend’s voice. “Um, it may have been used to give me a concussion by a health nut in scrubs?” for Once al isn't the one who gets injured in a walgreens. bet you didnt see That coming
Albert let out a loud sigh. “Ah man, did you run into Brett? That guy’s the worst.” hehe bet al used to date him
“Wait, you know him?”
“Race, I know every Walgreens employee in Manhattan, of course I know Brett.” There was the jangling of keys in the background. “I thought I told you to go to the one on 4th for this reason, ah, well. I’m on my way. I’ll take you to urgent care. Hang tight.” ofc al goes to urgent care. and everyone there knows him by a first name basis
Race’s head hurt too much to process what Albert had said except for the words ‘I’m on my way.’ “Okay,” he sighed. this was definitely one of the times i asked mikey about oddly specific concussion symptoms and then proceeded to forget everything he told me and do my own stuff
“Love you.”
“Love you too.” Race’s eyes focused on the dented can of Easy Cheese rolling on the floor he should still buy it. “And Al?”
“Yeah?”
“This is going to be one expensive can of Easy Cheese.” get it? cause race has to pay urgent care for his consultation? and they're also Very Very late to thanksgiving. cause al insists on finishing his mac. jack is not impressed. he eats all races pie.
anyway thats that hope you enjoyed

Lately I keep thinking about John, Mary, and Dean. We know Mary is a terrible cook -- I'm assuming that most of the time, John cooked, since things were tight financially for the Winchesters at the time, which leads me to think that he didn't ascribe to rigid gender roles and their marriage was egalitarian. But Dean did his best to become what he assumed was the perfect housewife (cooking, cleaning, child-rearing), which begs the question: where did these notions come from?
Hi there! This is an interesting question. :D
I’m not sure we have any evidence that John was a good cook, or that he did much cooking at all. We know that in the few scenes we have of Mary in the past:
in 4.03, Mary’s mother is the one preparing the meal they share with Dean. Mary herself is in no way involved with this preparation. We only see John eat a couple of times in diners.
in 5.13, Mary is preparing dinner for her and John when Sam and Dean show up on their doorstep. She even pulls the Mom Line of smacking John’s hand away from the basket of rolls on the table to tell him to wash up before dinner. What we learn in s12 about how she bought meatloaf and pie from the Piggly Wiggly leads us to believe that her “homemade” dinners were more often than not purchased pre-made and heated up at home.
We also learn about Mary making Dean tomato rice soup when he was sick as a child in this episode. But you know, Campbell’s makes tomato rice soup in a can, so it’s not likely something she slaved over from scratch, you know? But a small child wouldn’t understand or know that.
in 5.16, in Dean’s Heaven Memory, Mary makes him a PBJ and pours him a glass of milk, then offers him some pie. And again, we know now that she likely bought the pie already made.
in s14 we learn that the one thing Mary did actually make was a terrifying dish known as “Winchester Surprise.” And we’re led to assume that the “surprise” is actually surviving eating it. :P
But what do we really know about John cooking for Sam and Dean? Nothing, really, aside from one of Dean’s comment in 8.21:
“Alright, here we go. John Winchester’s famous cure-all kitchen sink stew. There you go. Enough cayenne pepper in there to burn your lips off, just like Dad used to make.“
So we know John at least cooked them one (1) thing. We also know both through flashbacks (like in 3.08 and 9.07) as well as comments Dean and Sam both have made throughout the series (marshmallow fluff mac and cheese! it’s exotic!) that Dean did a large portion of the food prep for him and Sam over the years.
But also, the recipe for kitchen sink stew (also known as “everything but the kitchen sink soup”) is basically “throw everything you have on hand into a pot and boil it for a while.” Rice, beans, noodles, veggies, meat… whatever you have, it goes in the pot. Making it isn’t really a demonstration of culinary mastery, especially if the main flavor that comes through in the end is “will burn your lips off.”
I’ve always felt that John was more likely to go for fast food, diner food, or low-prep food like the aforementioned stew, or the ubiquitous PBJ, or even like… stuff microwaved at the Gas N Sip that has often been described as a staple in the Hunter Diet. I don’t think we’ve ever had any indication that John ever really cooked.
And yeah, Dean did his best to learn to cook (and the rest of the stereotypical “housewife” chores) partly because he understood that John needed him to fill that role. Not that Dean ever understood how Mary may have relied on prepared meals from the Piggly Wiggly to cover her shortcomings in the kitchen, but he would’ve ASSUMED (especially based on his shock at Mary’s confession in 12.02 that she didn’t cook) that she was a good cook. I mean, where did Dean get most of his knowledge about the duties a mom was expected to fulfill? Mostly from television, from possibly observing other mothers in the wild, or from babysitters they had over the years (like Donna in 5.12 who watched them for months at a motel in Massachusetts when they were children).
So Dean did have Responsible Adult Behavior modeled for him, but never in an actual home setting in reality, you know? Donna’s JOB was cleaning and tidying the motel, so he would’ve picked up the how-tos while she was watching out for him and Sam. But he probably picked up even more from watching TV and movies.
Then it came to making their limited resources into something that wasn’t horrifically boring. When they only had a loaf of bread, some assorted sandwich fixings, a box of cereal, and some canned food to last them a week or two until John came back again, he had to get creative to keep from losing his damn mind, you know? There’s only so much spaghettios a person can eat before it’s like OKAY ANYTHING OTHER THAN THIS PLS.
Who knows, he may even have begun watching cooking shows on television in attempt to learn something about making their food taste better. Maybe he watched Julia Child or Justin Wilson or Graham Kerr (being three people who had regular cooking shows back in that era), and decided this was something worth devoting a bit of his time and attention to, for his own sake as well as Sam’s and John’s.
Imagine after the incident he related to Mary where he’d burned his attempt at Winchester Surprise, he realized he needed to actually get some proper training in this cooking thing before he either burned down their motel by accident or poisoned them all from cooking something wrong, you know?
There could’ve been a million reasons why he’d want to become good at cooking, not the least of which was because Dean himself really enjoys good food. I mean, look at the pleasure he takes in a good slice of pie or a well made burger. He appreciates what goes into cooking a tasty and satisfying meal, and he derives a lot of personal pleasure from eating.
@thejabberwock doesn’t come around these parts much anymore, but has a tag for “tactile dean” that I think this theory fits under, as well. Taste and pleasure through eating is just as much a part of this sensory fulfillment for Dean as physical touch. So of course he’d be interested in pursuing it when given the chance.
Such as during his year at Lisa’s. In the final scene of 5.22, he sits down at Lisa’s table to a meal she prepared, but by the montage at the beginning of 6.01, Dean himself is doing some of the cooking, entirely at home in Lisa’s kitchen and hosting backyard barbecues. He also demonstrates his mastery of the grill in 8.14, proving that with the resources to obtain good quality food, he’s just as competent as anyone else at preparing it well. Food is just important to Dean in ways that it’s not to Sam.
Sam eats to live, to be healthy, to maintain his body and fitness. Dean eats for the sheer pleasure of it. I think he’d enjoy cooking just for the pleasure of it, too. He was so damn proud of his “nesting burger” back in 8.14.
And heck, how many different schools did Dean cycle through over his educational career before he finally dropped out? Being in a town for a week here and there may have given him a bit of a chance to drop in on a few Home Ec classes along the way, too. Maybe he’d even specifically ask to be put in a cooking class in school– both because they were more often than not full of girls he could hit on, and because he might be allowed to take home his class projects and have something to feed Sam for dinner that he wouldn’t have to pay for.
But considering how often it seems Dean was left alone in charge of Sam when they were children, he had a vested interest in learning for himself how to “run a household,” including everything from cooking to cleaning to childcare, since it was all literally dumped on his shoulders, and nobody else was consistently there to do that stuff for him.
My guess, in tl;dr fashion, is that he picked it up from a combination of observing various babysitters over the years, from watching tv and movies, and out of the sheer necessity to make sure he and Sam didn’t draw suspicion from teachers or other locals that they were the victims of neglect and bringing unwanted attention from family services organizations. I mean, there’s deep-seated reasons he was antagonistic toward the social workers in 12.04, you know? John must’ve drilled it into him from an early age that they needed to maintain secrecy about their lives from “civilians,” and the need to protect themselves from well meaning but seriously unprepared social workers from trying to interfere in their lives.
All more than enough reason for Dean to make a study of all of this for himself.

#57 The Downfall
I think I have done a terrible job. But, I wrote after so long, I’m happy. 
Concept: Rich Y/N has to shift into a small studio with her sister, bringing a complete change from their high society lifestyle. The owner of the studio right in front of them, Harry isn’t too pleased with this move. 
Warnings: Weed, will have smut later. 
3.5K+
---
This was the best they could do. The best they could do for me at the moment. Was it a downfall? A shattering one. Maybe shattering doesn’t justify it. I didn’t expect much from our relatives otherwise either.
“Do we have to stay here?” My sister asked, looking at our tiny studio apartment.
“I’m sorry, darling,” I said, pushing our boxes inside. We sold most of our stuff, including my parent's house which the bank took as collateral. If I wanted my sister to continue going to the private school, which would ensure her future, we had to make that sacrifice. We had limited funds, and thankfully my university was paid for and we had our scholarships, but our way of life, our expenses - everything took a huge hit. “I’m sure we can do something amazing with it!” Decorate it like we always wanted to, but Mum never allowed us because of white walls?” I tried to cheer her up.
“I don’t know if I want to go against her now,” She sighed, sitting on the bed.
“Alright! You know what? Why don’t you make me us some pancakes, and I’ll get all the boxes inside, and we can then unpack?” She nodded, always love the idea of cooking. I hope I could send her to the best school one day, but she was only 13, and I had time to worry about that.
I walked out, looking at the dingy corridor filled with my stuff, and a door on the opposite side. Should probably say Hi to my new neighbour - maybe bake some cookies as an exchange? Wouldn’t hurt.
I tried being strong in the entire process. Losing our home, our wealth, our everything took a strong hit, with our personal relationships as well. My boyfriend broke up with me, my friends who I used to hang out with me stopped texting when I shifted homes. They all knew about the loss of income, and my world had always been shallow. I had a list of things to mourn about and absolutely no time at the moment.  
Setting up the tiny studio was hard, but we managed to fit our stuff. I was proud of how well my sister was taking it, knowing how difficult it must be for her. “Excited to go to school tomorrow? The bus, I found out, actually comes right down the lane, so it’s not much walking-”
“Why do people care about money so much? How does it matter if we don’t have it more of it, anymore? We have enough to still go to school. I am still me, then why are kids so shallow,” My sister asked, and I felt like she had aged so much in the last month.
“People are always shallow. You know how Mum made fun of all of Dad’s friends? She got it as well! Remember that friends who leave you in your time of need, are not friends, to begin with, and you should always strive for true friendship. Always be kind, and hardworking and keep your head up high. We don’t need anything else!” She hugged me tightly, crying into my chest. I hope things aren’t as hard for her.
If missing three weeks of University was bad, having your group of friends ignore you, while you tried to settle in was worse. Obviously, I didn’t come in my Porsche, obviously, I took the train, and obviously, I went to the student cafe for lunch and not the restaurant like my old routine. Everyone knew what happened, what was there to gossip about?
Max, my ex-boyfriend came and sat beside me during the gap in my schedule. I stayed away, feeling the negativity and toxic air that I didn’t want to interact. “You didn’t say hi,” he said.
“I didn’t know you noticed people who didn’t have the heritage money in the bank,” I closed my book.
“Look-”
“I can’t deal with this, Max. You said enough at Cheryl’s party, and I didn’t realize how pathetic we were. I need to widen my horizon, find my people who don’t make friends with bank accounts.”
“I didn’t say anything!” He argued.
“Oh, so you just laughed with Catherine and Misha. Same thing! And, you broke up with me. Two weeks after my parents- you should go!” I stood up.
“My mother made me do that! You know how important standing is, you were a part of it-”
“I am still a part of it. I still have all my standing, all my recommendations in place because I didn’t buy them as you did. I am better than you, all of you. I didn’t love you for how much you could spend,” Walking away from him, felt good. I didn’t have the time to wallow.
I was still on top of my class. My professors expected write-ups but, I was on schedule to graduate by the end of the year. During lunch, my two friends who I honestly loved the most, and were secretly still there for me, came and sat beside me.
“What are you guys doing here?” I asked.
“This place has amazing Mac ‘n’ cheese if you have to know! And, it’s my cheat day!” Kyle rolled his eyes.
“Oh, stop it!” Meera hit him, hugging me tightly. “We couldn’t tolerate Catherine without your sarcastic remarks! It was intolerable!”
“I’m still mad at you!” Kyle took a bite of his cheat day dish. “I expected you to take your place back, and you didn’t even come and say hi!”
“I texted you though,” I blew him a kiss.
“Anyway,” Meera said, taking my hands, “I never liked that group thing. Let’s not do it again!” I was glad that at least at least I was a person who had made tight, genuine bonds.
The train ride home was long. It took me 20 minutes with my car to reach home, but I didn’t live in the central city anymore. I just had to get used to it. Distract myself, observe things in this 65-minute ride back home. A guy sat down in front of me after the old lady got off at her stop. His head was in his phone, earphones in, with his hoody on, and I had a feeling that he was in my class this afternoon. I didn’t notice him, but he had his back to me when I saw him walk out of class, and I didn’t know him. I tried for a while, wanting to make an eye-contact. Maybe he knew me? People knew me, in general. He got off at the same stop as me, and we walked the same way back home. I didn’t have the guts to say Hi.
I stopped on my way to the grocery store. My sister told me about her day, and how her best friend was still her best friend, and I felt it might be alright for us here. We baked cookies for our neighbour, and I rang on the doorbell. The same guy in the train, from my class today opened the door, and the only way I could be sure was because it was the same hoody and the same body structure. I gave him my big smile, always worked with all the people, “Hi! My sister and I just moved in, and we baked you some cookies and introduce ourselves!”
“You are Y/N Y/L/N. What are you doing here?” He said, shocked.
“You know me! I wanted to say Hi while we were on our way back but, didn’t get the chance to do that!” he frowned, looking a little pissed, and I wondered if I did something wrong. “This is my sister, Sara!” I pulled her forward to ease the tension. He smiled at her, and I could see his dimples and my sister gave him the cookies.
“Thank you, Sara! I’m Harry” He nodded. “Let me know if you need anything.” He said, talking to her and then closed the door on my face before I could speak.
“Did you do something to him?” My sister asked.
“I don’t know him!” I said, turning to our door.
“He doesn’t seem to like you,” she said, laughing.
“I know. I don’t even know why.”
“He is really handsome, though!” She elbowed me.
“I know.”
The mystery grew further when Harry categorically avoided me for the next few weeks. Life wasn’t exactly getting easy with asking my sister to control her expenses, and her crying, and trying to make food every day on top of managing a child, and then keeping in check with her schools demand of a guardian which I was now, and my Uni’s demand of just torture. Plus, I was late today, and our small sofa seat was getting delivered today. The stuff from my our old house had been sent to a storage space which my parents had bought, and we owned a small sofa piece and table set which we could fit in our apartment since we desperately needed a sitting structure.
After fighting with the delivery guy for the unnecessary extra amount he was charging to take it up one floor, I had him leave it downstairs. I was going to do it one at a time when I saw Harry coming in.
“Hey!” I shouted.
He took off his earphones, “Yeah?”
“Could you help me? I need to take these up, and I don’t have any help and I would really appreciate it,” I begged.
He thought about it a bit, and then, nodded. Taking the table up the stairs, he asked, “is this marble?” looking at the countertop.
“Yeah, I think it is,” I said smiling.
“Why are you living in a dump like this if you can buy a marble table?” He said, and I could sense the disdain in his voice.
“It’s actually my parents, from our old house. So, I didn’t have to buy it actually. Just making use of things as much as we can,” I told him.
“I heard, I am sorry.” He said as we went back down to get the sofa chair. “Hold it the other way,” he instructed as we tried to get it up the stairs, but it was really heavy. Finally managing to take it inside my place, we sat down.
“Thank you so much for helping me with this!” I stood up and got him some water.
“I should get going,” he walked towards the door.
“Oh, you know we are making pesto chicken for dinner if you’d like to join us. We found out that I am a good cook.” I smiled.
“That’s alright.” He said walking out.
“Did I do something?” I asked, all of a sudden and then bit my tongue. He frowned. “I mean, you don’t seem to like me, and I don’t know you so, I’m just, umm confused.”
“Am I supposed to like you?” He said, irritated. The fact that he was actually really beautiful, made me want him to like me, and he clearly didn’t.
“Okay, “ I gulped. “Thank you for helping me.” I nodded, hiding behind my door.
Meera did her research on him and found out that my parents had actually placed a case on Harry’s fathers business. They were the sharks in their field so, I wouldn’t have been surprised. They used to be as wealthy as us, so we had a similar downfall. Only with him, the case ended with his father losing his business, and imprisonment for 10 years on stolen copyright. It was a serious deal. His mother remarried three years ago, and Harry has been cut off and living in the studio which was surprisingly all we both could afford. I could get why he didn’t like me, but it wasn’t my fault.
Another thing about Harry was that he had a line of women coming into his flat, and leaving early morning when my sister left for school. “I think this is the 17th one,” she whispered the other day, as I walked with her and we giggled about it. We had caught him in a towel, the day before when my sister knocked on his door for a toolbox, and it would have been a lie if I didn’t drool a little. He had tattoos covering his sculpted stomach, his hand holding his towel on, with his hair wet, falling on his face, clean shaven so, you could see those sharp jawlines before my eyes shamefully met his big green ones, after I had stared and engrained everything else.
“Those girls are very lucky,” I whispered back to my sister, and she giggled some more.
He was really smart as well. Paying extra attention to my studies, I noticed who the class toppers were, and we were at the top. Well, he was. Girls talked a lot about him as well. I guess, he played the I don’t care much about anything attitude well enough, making him that mysterious. I noticed he hung out with three guys, and two girls here and there. He mostly ignored me, even when we were on the same way home, and I couldn’t help feeling small. And he always had the best stash of weed - some good connection of his.
I could do with some weed. The pressure was finally taking a toll on me and I needed a break. I felt like a full-time mother, with a full-time Uni schedule and a part-time job, and it was getting to me. I didn’t have to do more than half it, just a few months ago. The lawyers said I was doing well with my sister, and my schedule and they don’t have to take her away if I kept it up.
Wanting some that night, and knowing he had a good seller, I knocked on his door. He opened the door, raising his eyebrow. He was wearing a shirt which was buttoned down and tucked into his pants. I could see his tastes were still high fashion - it was the way we dressed and money didn’t change that. I did now, know the best cheap places to keep the style up though. I gulped looking at his chest, and then, up to his eyes. I was also horny as fuck, and having my sister sleep next to me every day, didn’t help. He didn’t smirk like men usually did though, and it gave me the confidence to ask him if he had any on hand, if I could buy some of him for now, and get his contact.
“The rich girl can’t walk down to a dispensary and get it for herself?” That disdain again.
“I’m not rich anymore,” I snapped. “I’m sorry,”  I calmed myself. “I heard you have a good supplier, and I...it’s cool. Thanks anyway.” I shrugged. He made me want to crawl in bed and cry with the tone he used, and his expressions meant for me.  I was going to do just that when he stopped me.
“I was going to roll myself one, right now. Join me,” he pulled his door wide and walked off inside. I nervously pulled my hair behind my ear and walked inside. His house, as small as mine, was spotlessly clean, and so well organised that it made mine look shabby.
“Where is your sister?” He asked as he sat down on the sofa, holding the grinder in his hand.
“Sleepover, friends,” I told him. He raised his head up, nodding. “Do you know how to roll?”
“Umm, actually I never smoked that much,” I said, waiting for the further judgement.
“Really? What was your escape then?” He asked, taking the paper out, and tearing a cardboard piece for the roach. His hands worked skillfully as he put the weed on the paper, looking at me for a reply.
“Umm, escape?” I frowned.
“From the high society drama that you were a part of? I know, I needed an escape,” I was a bit enchanted with how he pulled his tongue out to like the paper to roll the joint, that it took me a while to come back.
I played it cool, pulling my eyes away, “Umm, I had a good family. Only needed an escape when I was really stressed which well didn’t…”
“Fair enough, shall we?” We walked to the balcony, and he lit the joint, taking a drag, and then handing it to me.
I took a smaller one, it being a few months since having smoked, and I didn’t want to look like an idiot.
“So, how was your day?” I asked, looking at the car park view in front of us.
“Alright.” He should ask me back. He didn’t.
“Do you wanna pair up for Benjamin’s class?” I should shut up. I have no clue how I have such great ideas all the time. “We live here, so it’ll just be easier to meet up, so I wondered.”
“Huh,” he didn’t look impressed, as he took another drag before giving it to me.
He didn’t respond, and I was running out of things to talk about, but I was now high and could vouch for his stuff being really great. He threw the bud away, and we walked inside. “Give me a list of what you want, I’ll get it,” He said, handing me a paper.
“Oh, I umm - I don’t want a lot. My sister and I don’t know how to roll,”
“I’m not your servant,”
“What- I- I didn’t,” I sighed. “If you could get me two pre-rolled - that would do for the while. Let me know how much I owe for it. Thank you for today.” I said walking towards the door. “I don’t know why you’re so hostile towards me, you know.” This surge of confidence in me was induced for sure. “I didn’t do you anything.”
“You don’t know? We have a history.” He said, putting his hands in his pockets.
“Our parents have a history. I had nothing to do with the business, and I haven’t met you before, even if we used to be in the same circle. I would remember you,” I walked towards him, pointing a finger at his chest.
“Your parents are the reason my home broke, and my dad’s in prison!” He snapped. “They had a choice to let him go, after destroying us, but he didn’t stop. My mother left-”
“My parents were not the reason your mother left! And your father probably deserved by law what happened to him!”
“I am sure your parents deserved what happened to them!”
I shut up. My brain was a bit slow to process the hurt and put it in front of me like bricks. But, it all came back. The memories, the blood, the sold sign in front of our house, my sister’s howl, and my eyes went cloudy, as I sat down right there on his floor.
“They died,” I whispered.
“I’m sorry,” Harry knelt down in front of me. “I didn’t mean it.”
I was too far gone though, as I looked at my hands, realising that I hadn’t cried since I last held them in my arms when, ”there was so much blood,” i showed him my hands, as he looked at me, my tears pouring out. “I couldn’t save anyone, I tried to-” I said shivering now.
“Hey-hey, it’s okay, it’s alright,” He wrapped his arms around me pulling me to his chest. I broke down in his arms.
The next thing, clear in my mind is waking up in a bed, Harry’s bed with his arms still around me, holding me to his body. I shifted a little, back in my conscious head waking him up as well, and his eyes met mine. I kept my head, back on the pillow, not taking my eyes off of his, still having nothing to say. I had opened up to this man more, than literally anyone else. I could still feel his arm under my head, and his other hand wrapped around my waist, my body still attached to his, and I felt comfortable. I didn’t want to read into this. I just wanted to let it be.
He shifted, pulling his hand up from below my head, and I got up, closer to his face, his eyes still on mine, and I instinctively bent down. My lips wrapping around his bottom one in a  kiss, as I pushed him down, towards the bed. I felt his hand, hold my face pulling us apart, as our eyes met again, looking for something. He found it, as he brought his lips back to mine, holding my face in his palms, pushing me back to his bed with a force which felt perfect in every way.

Answered all the questions on this post because @missingparentheses suggested it and why not. Under the cut, unless Tumblr decides to break it, in which case I apologize for the long post...............
1. What was the name of the first person you ever had a crush on? Why did you like them? Her name was Jessie and she was a year ahead of me in Sunday school. She had long dark hair that I thought was really pretty, and she always seemed happy and confident and outgoing. I used to write her name on stuff at home and imagine that we were best friends. We talked exactly one (1) time in the years that my family attended that church, but I remember being in awe of how cool she was. Of course, I didn’t realize that I’d had a crush on her until much, much later. At the time (first/second grade) I didn’t know queer crushes were a thing.
2. What is one thing you regret having done or not done in your life? I regret not speaking my mind more.
3. Which parent do you identify with the most? I’ve always identified more with my dad which is HORRIFYING. Growing up, he was marginally easier to talk to than my mom. Things have completely changed since then, now that I’ve begun to understand my mom and the reasons behind her actions.
4. What do you think you cook or bake the best? I make good crockpot meals lmao. Chicken alfredo, chili, mac n cheese, brownies...yeah, it’s great.
5. If you could change your first name what would it be? I like my name! I do go by Shay on some accounts though, so maybe that.
6. Can you hula hoop? Hell yes. I can swivel these hips for days.
7. What embarrasses you the most in front of other people? Crying in front of anyone. I cried while talking to my therapist once and just thinking about it squicks me out. Before that, the last time I cried in front of anyone was my parents in 2012 (holy shit), when I got home from teaching the day the principal yelled at me in front of my class. SO YEAH if I ever cry in front of you, it’s probably because something traumatizing has happened.
8. Have you considered running for president? Nope, never.
9. If you had to choose one thing you were most passionate about, what would it be and why? Creating stuff! Making music, crafting stories, all that good stuff. I’m my own worst enemy when it comes to that. Lots of insecurities get in the way.
10. Who are you most envious of—real or fictional—and why? I’m envious of creative queer women with long-term partners and financially stable lives. Ultimately, that’s where I want to be.
11. Where is the most beautiful place on earth and why? Haven’t been to many places I’d consider beautiful, but the Cape Fear River is gorgeous!
12. Are ghosts real? Maybe?
13. Are aliens real? Probably! The universe is huge.
14. How old is the most expired item in your fridge? I just checked and nothing in there is expired. My sister and I don’t play when it comes to stuff like that, and this is why we’re great roommates.
15. What are your favorite style of underwear? Boxer briefs!
16. What’s the saddest song you’ve ever heard? Joji - Yeah Right. Perfectly encapsulates how it feels to know you’re being used.
17. How about the sweetest song? Shawn Wasabi - Spicy Boyfriend. YEAH I KNOW the lyrics are nothing. But the music itself?? That’s how sweetness sounds to me.
18. Do you know how to play dominoes? Yes! My mom showed us when we were kids. It was boring...
19. What’s under your bed? A replica Joker knife I got at my first con and a baseball bat. Don’t mess.
20. Have you ever prank called someone? Once when I was like five, I called my grandpop and hung up when he answered, does that count.
21. 100 kittens or 3 baby sloths? What, to keep as pets? Neither. But if I had to choose which to hang out with for a bit??? I’m allergic to most cats but kittens are adorable.
22. Are you proud of what you’re doing with your heart and time right now? No.
23. Why or why not? I’m still hung up on past rejections. Fixating on “what if,” and wondering if things would have turned out differently if only I’d been funnier, hotter, more clever, interesting, assertive, outgoing, etc...yeah this is a bad road and I ain’t going down it tonight.
24. How many bones have you broken? NONE
25. Have you ever won anything? Big or small? I won a spot in the NJ all-state wind ensemble on my first time auditioning after playing bassoon for a little over a year. It was a big deal because bassoon isn’t an instrument that people learn very quickly. But I spent an obscene amount of time practicing it in high school, and most of the other bassoons hardly practiced at all. That counts, right?
26. If you could buy one material thing, and money was not an issue, what would it be? A custom-built gaming PC. I want to play the Witcher 3 goddammit
27. What’s your favorite movie from your childhood? Hmmm, maybe “Honey we shrunk the kids.” My sister and I watched it again recently and it's still hilarious.
28. What food will you absolutely not, under any circumstances, eat? Anything I’m allergic to. Keep peanut butter far away from me. Other than that, I’ll try anything once.
29. What’s the best way to comfort you when you’re having a really terrible day? Just check in on me, ask me questions, let me ramble, say something affirming, maybe give me a hug if I ask?
30. Has anything/anyone every saved your life before? When I was a teenager, I liked to say that music saved my life because everyone I knew said that. But honestly? I don’t know..
31. Would you ever adopt a child? Nope, no kids here. I don’t have the emotional capacity for raising children.
32. What is one thing you’re embarrassed to admit you want to try? I’m drawing a blank here...am I supposed to say sex stuff? I’m legit curious to try pegging a guy once, but I also have zero interest in sleeping with guys right now, so that may never happen.
33. If you were a cake which cake would you be? Molten chocolate cake. I know that “molten” isn’t referring to the temperature BUT I’m black and sometimes SOMETIMES I’d like to believe that I’m hot and oh god that was a terrible answer but I can’t think of anything better whoopssss
34. What is the most important material possession you have and why? Definitely my car. Without it, I’m screwed.
35. What is the most important memory you have and why? I’m only coming up with memories of disappointment, so I’m gonna pass on this one.
36. When was the last time you cried? I cried while watching Into the Spiderverse. I’m like Rhett when it comes to crying in movies. But only if I’m alone! Crying in front of other people is a huge nope, as I said earlier.
37. How old was your mother when she had you? She was 33
38. Which famous person would you like to be BFFs with? Janelle Monae!!!
39. Is there something you wish you had said sorry for but never did? I can’t think of anything. There are definitely things I wish I hadn’t apologized for, though.
40. Have you been on your first date? If so, how did it go? Sort of?? I met up with a girl I was talking to online. No one called it a date, so maybe this doesn’t count. We hung out at this little bar that had board games. She was nice, but it was so awkward. We talked for two minutes, realized we had very little in common, but valiantly tried to play a board game or two anyway. Trouble is, most games are meant for more than two people, and my clumsy attempts at keeping the conversation going weren’t working. So after a miserable hour, (miserable for me, at least) we parted ways and haven’t spoken since.
She correctly guessed my reasons for coming out when I did, so that was amusing, I guess.
Heartbreak was the one thing we had in common.

Riley Ann,
Welcome to the hopefully not so terrible 2's.  No matter how terrible you are, I'll still love you.  I expect to gain many white or gray hairs this year.  Or that my thinning spot on my head accelerates exponentially.  I'm sure that will happen anyways because this is the 2nd and last Dad-Birthday-Year-in-Review-Letter-to-Riley, where you are an only child.  So I want to make sure I put some good stuff in this one, because, my mind will be a lot mushier this time next year.  But the good news is that you will have 2 awesome Birthday-Year-in-Review-Letters.  Your upcoming brother or sister will probably get subpar ones by comparison (not on purpose, but just because Dad will be super tired I'm sure).  
Unless you miraculously start sleeping through the night every night instead of just like 2/3 of the time.  I do remember a glorious 2 week stretch where it was every night.  Then it wasn't.  Oh, well.  Just remember when you are in your teenage years when I randomly wake your ass up as part of the Dad-doesn't-want-to-be-a-Grandpa-while-he-has-a-teenager training. 
Anyways, on to some of the many highlights of the past year. 
1) Laughter:  The sound of you laughing is the best thing ever.  Luckily you do it often, because you are a pretty happy kid.  My favorite recent thing is how you picked up my trait of fake laughing that turns into hysterical real laughing.  We've had some pretty good fake turned into real laughing sessions lately.  The added nuance of me teaching you to tilt your head back while doing so is awesome.  I can't wait to teach you fake evil laughs.  Not only do you laugh a lot, you like to make others smile and laugh.  Like when you pull the offer someone something then pull it away as they reach for it game.  Or maybe you only do that to Dad.  I'll have to thank your Mom for teaching you that one. 
2) Generosity.  You will often wave and blow kisses to not just family, but acquaintances too.  You even like to give out hugs.  I hope you are always kind and generous to those who DESERVE it.  Unfortunately, as you grow, you will have to learn about stranger danger and deal with all the creepy dude BS girls have to (but that's what karate will be for), but as long as you treat people who DESERVE it with kindness or civility, then we will have succeeded.
3) Love of Music and Dancing.  I never thought I would be able to hear songs being played and reference animated movies so much.  Or that I would dance along with the credits of Trolls.  But you love music and dancing, especially movies with musical numbers, or animated TV show theme songs.  I want to make sure you like all kinds of music like me, and are not apprehensive about dancing, also like me.  If you don't like a little bit of 90's Country, my soul will die just a little bit.  Also, as part of your Don't-be-a-Teenage-Mother education, you will have to watch all your favorite movies from this age over and over again as a teenager to see how "fun" it is.  I mean, there are cycles where you like it, love it, hate it, then like it again, but still. . . 
4) Fearlessness:  I think this one is amusing right now, your mother doesn't, as evident by her heart failure reactions sometimes.  You seem to be a daredevil.  You throw yourself backwards in your tent or ball pit and sometimes hit your head on stuff.   But. You. Rarely. Cry.  You just hop right up and keep playing.  Lately, you like standing on the recliner and hopping off for me to catch you.  Only, you give me little time to prepare.  You don't really get startled or scared by anything yet either.  Which is good, that way I can have you crawl in the crawl space and fix stuff.  Just kidding. . . partially.  I hope as you get older the number of things that you are scared of are minimal.  And that you are a risk-taker, not someone who just lets things happen.  A calculated risk taker, I should add, not a wreckless one.  Like the time Dad didn't close the gate to the kitchen and while in the bathroom heard you briefly cry.  When I checked on you and picked you up you stopped crying and we played for a bit until Dad went to check on dinner in the oven and discovered . . .the. . . oven. . door. . . open with something you were playing with on the door.  And when I checked your arm I saw a triangle shaped burn.  Which was only a 2nd degree burn I learned at the hospital.  Which you can barely tell was a burn now thanks to the burn cream we had to put on your arm.  All the while, you barely cried at the pain or experience.  In fact, at the hospital, during the long-ass wait (which I'm sure they were secretly watching to observe whether I was a fit parent) you would wave and blow kisses to the nurses. 
5) Love of the outside.  It's that time of year where the whether is finally breaking (because . . .Ohio. . . you'll understand the variances soon).  When I pick you up from the sitter, if the yard isn't a swamp, I will let you walk around and play a bit.  But on days it is a swamp, and I don't let you, you get mad.  Which is good.  I'd rather have a kid who likes to be outside than one addicted to a phone or tablet.  Besides, a chiropractor once told me that there will be a rise in elderly hunchback people because their heads are always down in a phone or tablet.  I think we do a decent job of limiting you to only a little bit of phone time and all those weird variations of kid songs on YouTube.  Which is another reason I want you to play outside a bunch.  So I don't get songs stuck in my head (Johnny, Johnny . . .yes Papa) or because adults singing nursery rhymes and opening eggs or playing with action figures on YouTube is weird.  I like it better when you are listening to that Acapella group instead.  Yesterday you were outside for a bunch and had dirt and leaves on your face and in your hair.  Awesome!  While Daddy was inside sweating a basketball game (poor Auburn btw) he had invested interest in.  Which hopefully will lead to helping you get some outside play equipment.
6) Connoisseur of food.  So far, there isn’t really any food you don't like.  And if there is something we think you don't like, usually you will end up eating it for Jolene.  Just like you always have your longest naps for her.  Apparently, her grilled cheeses are better than ours.  But that's probably because you don't get to try Dad's version of different cheeses and added flavors (like crushed red pepper).  The only food you don't seem to like is mashed potatoes.  Weird!  You like pickles, unfortunately.  And my goal is to make you not one of those people that puts ketchup on their mac n cheese (out of the will if you do!).  You love fruit, which is awesome.  I like it but I don't eat it that much.  I will start to more so you keep eating it though.  You have seemingly inherited my sweet tooth possibly.  Not that we let you give into it all the time, but the Nafziger side of me where everyone has a sweet tooth is definitely with you. 
7) Liking books.  Right now, most nights you won't go to bed without some bedtime stories.  A time or two you have even fell asleep with a book in your bed.  And when you get up in the morning you bring the books with you to the playroom or living room.  Hopefully your interest in books expands.  Although not the kind your Mom and Auntie A read.  What they read isn’t literature, that's trash.  I like to read too, but it's mostly longform articles on my phone or tablet.  If I have too, I am willing to find a book and cutout pages the shape of my phone, so that when I read, you will know it is reading and not phone time. 
8) Daddy's girl.  This is by far the most important notation in this letter.  Dad is the one you make go to the playroom and lay in the ball pit (which sometimes causes a little back pain, but not enough to say no to you).  Or Dad is the one who you want most of the time to put you to bed.  Dad is the one you just plop right down on.  Dad is the one who usually doesn't have more than 7 minutes to read or watch a part of a show.  Dad does get a little frustrated that Mom can have these luxuries because you currently prefer Dad to Mom mostly.  But he realizes that Daddy's girl could just be a phase and also likes to brag about it to your Mother.  Which is also why I write these letters.  Because one day, Dad could say one last sarcastic comment and disappear.  At least you'd have these to remember me by.  Also, there is potential of your Mom getting a different job or cutting back some hours.  Which would mean you might see her more than me.   Which could mean you wouldn't be a Daddy's girl anymore.  Typing this didn't make me tear up at all. . . So much for not trying to get too mushy in this year's letter, like I did last year when talking about your Grandma Peggy . . . 
Anyways, I can't wait to spend the next year collecting great adventures of potty training, or breaking of the needing the pacifier when going to sleep habit, or for sure, anecdotes of having to share the spotlight with your new brother or sister.  And hopefully funny stories about your expanding vocabulary, which will probably include an unfortunate swear word you learned from one of your parents (me).   But mostly, I look forward to another year filled with laughter.

This was my first completed story I published on social media! I found it on an old account recently and was surprised by how many people seemed to enjoy it... here’s what I’ve since edited and posted on wattpad!
~~~
We were close. They say it's great to have your best friend as a girlfriend. And it was, it was wonderful. I couldn't think of a better girlfriend. I loved her. Her green eyes and the way the lit up every time I told a cheesy joke or even said something stupid, brightened my world every time I saw them. The way she put up with all my garbage was astounding... I wasn't the perfect girlfriend. But she was. She would go for walks with me in the park, she would watch Marvel movies with me even though I knew she wasn't into superheroes, she would hold my hand in public. She always had that adorable smile, and when she was sad I would do anything to bring that smile back. When we would hug it was always one of those long comforting hugs that you never wanted to end. After we moved in with each other and I'd have a bad day at work she'd make mac n' cheese when I got home. She was a great cook. Lavender was the best, she was my best friend, my girlfriend, and my whole world.
One of my best memories with her was the day we went to the fair.  We rode the roundup - my favorite - and after we went to play the game where you shoot at the ducks with the targets on them. She gave the man three dollars but wasn't a very good shot. She really had her eyes on this stuffed panda and when she only hit enough ducks to win a finger puppet she looked at me with those big green eyes. I couldn't help but laugh and give the man three more dollars. I had grown up shooting things with my dad and I hit almost all the ducks, enough for the giant panda. The thing was almost as big as Lavender but she carried it the whole way through the fair. We shared a bucket of popcorn and one of those cotton candies on a stick. When we got back in the car she was still smiling that adorable smile like she had been all night "Thank you Blaire" She told me and kissed my cheek. We had our first kiss that evening in my car. I knew then, as cheesy as it sounds, that she wasn't just my first kiss... but my last as well.
There was also the time that we rolled down the hill in the park. Or the time we went sled riding and I crashed into a tree. Or the time I taught her how to catch tadpoles. That was another good memory. She had grown up in the city, I had grown up in the country. When she moved so we could be closer the wildlife amazed her. I always thought she would be afraid of bugs and dirt but she wasn't. She was fascinated. I took her on a walk through the woods to a pond behind my house where we found a giant group of tadpoles. I showed her how you have to scoop them up quick or they would get away. It was so much fun watching her giggle at the way they flopped around in her hands.
I was so glad I had her, and I couldn't imagine life without her...which can explain why I reacted the way I did after learning that I would never see her again.
That day was a day I will never forget. She was upset about a fight between her and her best friend. Honestly, I'm still not sure what happened, or what was said that night. I tried to comfort her as best I could but I guess she just wanted to be alone, she told me that she was gonna go take a drive to calm down. I should have stopped her, I knew it was a bad idea...but I didn't say anything. I just hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead. It wasn't until later that night that a policeman came to my door and told me the news. I don't know what a 'normal' person was supposed to do when their loved one is in an accident but obviously it's not what I did.
I suppose a normal person would have broken down and drove to the hospital and waited outside the ICU, obeying "family only" rules until further notice. However, that's not what I did. I broke down, I drove like a mad woman to get to the hospital. And when they told me I wasn't allowed in the ICU I shook my head and told them they didn't understand, that I needed inside, but they wouldn't let me in. I tried to push my way in, I told them she didn't have any family here, I told them I was her soon-to-be fiancee, I kicked, I screamed, I did whatever I could but they wouldn't let me inside, they wouldn't let me see her. I can still see it, the whole scene, I can still remember everything I was feeling, I remember looking through the window at her, I remember the things I was thinking, I remember the voices in my head laughing at me, taunting me, telling I would never get inside. I remember screaming curses to those doctors in every language I knew, I remember how I got thrown out of the hospital.
I remember how after I got thrown out I stopped trying to be strong, I remember getting in my car and slamming my head onto the steering wheel and staring at my shoes, thinking about her. Telling myself she'd be okay and not for an instant believing myself. I broke down, I cried, I drove home and threw anything that would make noise, I broke a picture of her and her friend, none of this would have happened if it wasn't for that bitch. I lay down on the couch and cried until the tears quit coming. Until my eyes were red, swollen, and puffy.
A few days went by, I visited the hospital every day but it wasn't until day 3 that they let me see her. I guess they felt bad for me, they told me that she wouldn't make it through the night and I had the right to spend a few hours with her. They let me inside and I sat by her bed. I could feel the warm tears welling up in my eyes but I just brushed them away, I would be strong for her. I held her hand and looked at her. she had tubes everywhere, up her nose, in her mouth. I felt queasy seeing her like that. My "Iron Stomach" as she called it did somersaults. I heard the monitor beeping slower. I gently squeezed her hand and put my head down next to hers’ "Please don't" I whispered "You have to live" I told her, "I have a ring back at the house. It's supposed to be yours and... I just need you to make it through this...please" I had been planning to propose for a week and I thought telling her would give her more strength. I, on the other hand, couldn't stay strong even for her. The tears had spilled over and dripped down my cheeks. I kissed her forehead, and then her cheek. Just as I did I heard it...the long beep that seemed so much louder than it really was. I looked up at the straight red line "No..." I whispered "NO!" I shouted "NO!! LAVENDER DON'T! DON'T DO THIS!!! LAVENDER PLEASE!!!!" I shouted, doctors came in the room and pushed me aside to perform CPR but there was nothing to be done. She was gone. I guess that's when I really lost it, when they told me they couldn't save her.
I left, I went home, I ran inside and collapsed to the floor, I screamed. I couldn't cry anymore so I just screamed, I screamed until my voice hurt...and then I kept screaming. I never moved from my spot on the living room floor. It was then that I guess I 'went crazy'. I don't know what I had done, it's all just a fuzzy memory that's too dense with pain and anger to even see the actions. Someone must have called the cops and that's when I snapped out of it. When the paramedics came in and got me onto a stretcher. Even after that point I don't remember much. Blood...I remember lots of blood....and pain, every part of body stung...but my body was numb and cold at the same time. I had never felt something like that. The doctors loaded me up in an ambulance and took me to the hospital.
They took my clothes. My jewelry. My privacy. They locked me up in a white, frustratingly plain room and went back to business as usual. Everyone there seemed... way too happy. They bandaged me up and every day when the nurse came to check on me she would bring a bag of candy and ask me a bunch of questions:
"How are you feeling today?"
"Do you feel like you might harm yourself?"
"Do you feel any better than you did before?"
"Would you like some candy?"
And I would always give the same answers:
"I feel terrible"
"What do you think?"
"Not particularly"
"No, I just want you crazy people to leave me alone and let me go home."
I guess my answers didn't do much as far as getting them to let me go home. The nurse would do the same thing every day and I could feel myself slowly getting worse. I kept thinking about Lavender. I blamed myself, I blamed that friend of hers, I blamed the driver that hit her. But most of all I just missed her. I stopped eating, not on purpose I just lost my apatite, I didn't do much. The nurses eventually found out that I liked to draw so they gave me some notepads and markers... I pleaded for pencils but looking back I see why I wasn't permitted to have one. I drew pictures of Lavender. I wrote her name, I drew her picture..it was so nice to see her face again... I wrote the phrases she said. When the nurses found it they took it from me. They told me I should stop obsessing over her. They said they understood that I missed her but they told me that I was thinking about her too much...there was one nurse though, the one that always tried to give me candy, she would give me a notepad when she brought my lunch. She said that they were wrong, she told me that I seemed happier when I had the notepad, but she had to take it away every day when she came to get the food I didn't eat.
I'm not sure how long I was locked up in there, it could have been a week, maybe a month? But it felt like forever. They had stopped asking me questions for a while but when the nurse came in one day the questions were different:
"What is your favorite color?"
"Lavender" I said.
"What about your favorite flower?" "Lavender"
She shook her head and wrote some stuff down on a clipboard "Okay, Blaire, honey...can you tell me if you had one wish what you would wish for? Take as long as you need, I can-"
"Lavender" I interrupted quickly, I didn't have to think, I wanted to see Lavender, I wanted to hold her again, I wanted to smell her perfume, I wanted her to grab my hands and dance around the kitchen with me when her favorite song came on the radio while we were cooking.
The nurse left and shut the door behind her, leaving me alone. I leaned back and curled up in my bed, then I heard a familiar voice.
"You look awful."
I looked around for a moment, and tentatively spoke up "Huh?" I asked quietly... I hoped to a God I didn't believe in that the voices weren't coming back.
"Sorry, but I'm serious, you REALLY look bad, what's wrong?" The voice sounded like Lavender's...but it couldn't be. I looked around more and that's when I saw her, standing in the corner of the room.
"...Lavender?" I asked quietly.
She giggled "Of course! What's the matter with you? And why are you here?" She asked curiously, gesturing to the room I was in I just sat there in silence for a few seconds...I didn't know what to say.
"I...I don't know" I just lied after a few minutes. She laughed and started to say something but stopped herself "I have to go," She said "Someones coming"
A door creaking open causing me to stop talking and spin my head around to whoever it was that was entering...it was the nurse.
"So your doctor says you are good to go...I just have to ask you some more questions..." She said reluctantly, looking like she couldn't believe her own words.
"How are you today?" I waved my hand back and forth in a so-so gesture.
"Do you feel you might harm yourself?" She asked I thought for a moment then shook my head slowly "I don't think so..." I answered.
"Do you feel any better today than other days?" "Actually...a little bit...yeah." I said.
She offered me some candy again and I shook my head. She nodded and left the room, coming back holding my old clothes, I got up and grabbed my clothes. I think that was the fastest I had ever gotten dressed. They took me home since I didn't have my car. I walked inside and plopped down on the couch. At that time I didn't know what exactly I was feeling. Happy? Maybe confused?
"What's wrong?" Lavender's voice asked me again.
"Everything..." I said "I just spent a month in a mental hospital...You died...and now I'm back home and everything is exactly the same as I left it...it just feels wrong" I said slowly. Everything slowly got back to normal, I cleaned the house and I even got a new picture frame for the picture I broke of Lavender and her friend.
I started to actually believe that I would be okay again. I started to believe that I was actually seeing Lavender each day, or at least her spirit. We would have full-length conversations and she made me laugh...just like the good old days. She taught me how to make some of the foods she always made. I was glad to have her back, honestly having her back may have been the only thing that got me back to normal. She never did hear me talking about proposing to her so I didn't say anything, there was no way we could get married now anyway. But still, having her around made things better. 'I love her so much.' I thought to myself at least once a day.
And then I woke up, hugging that giant stuffed panda. I ran downstairs "Lavender!" I called "I just had the craziest dream!" But when I reached the bottom of the steps I found the living room was a mess, and on the floor was that picture of Lavender and her best friend that I had broken.
"No," I said to myself "Lavender!?" I called again, I ran outside only to see that the car was still was gone, I quickly checked the messages on the phone. The only message was the one the hospital left telling me I was permitted to come to see Lavender, that she wasn't going to make it through the night. It had been recorded two days ago. I felt hot tears roll down my face "Lavender no..." I whispered. I shouted and ran back inside, collapsing into a ball on the living room floor
"What do you wish for?" A memory echoed in my head "Lavender" I whispered, "I wish for Lavender".

Description: parker and sky talk about sky’s time in foster care and sky offers assistance with charlie and parker’s foster kids. parker invites sky over for dinner
ParkerBOT — 03/28/2021
Parker juggled the groceries in her arms, too stubborn to get a basket. She had only come there for a couple of things and she promised herself she wouldn’t over shop. I’m just hungry. She thought to herself. Parker found the last few items and picked up a candy bar for Charlie before heading to the register. Accidentally bumping shoulders with someone on the way she looked over. “Hey, so sorry about that.” She said with a small smile.

The last thing Sky needed at the supermarket right now was being bumped into. She was already having a terrible day. This is why she preferred to instacart. But she was literally passing Whole Foods on her way home from her audition so she literally had no excuse. She had learned her lesson though. Always instacart. She nearly dropped the oranges she had been picking and putting in her reusable produce bag when she felt Parker bump into her. In typical Sky fashion, she let out a very heavy sigh. But she knew Parker and she knew that Parker didn't mean it maliciously. How could she be mad at her anyway? "S'alright, I suppose. Hey, where did you find those herbs?" She asked when she looked into the other's basket. @Hale ~ ParkerMarch 31, 2021
ParkerBOT — 03/31/2021
“How’s it going Sky?” Parker asked with a smile, she liked bumping into friends she hadn’t seen in a while. “You’re looking fabulous as always.” She complimented. “Oh, well I got the fresh ones from the produce section but I got these guys from the spice section.” She picked up a bottle of dried herbs from her basket. “They’re great in anything, seriously from Mac n Cheese to Fish to Tikka Masala.” Parker’s stomach growled as she spoke, all of this food talk was making her hungry.

Sky wasn't much of a cook, even though at times she tried. This was New York after all, and it was almost impossible not to get addicted to take out. She was trying to eat healthier though, and she knew that one of the best ways to do that was to cook her own meals. Still, the ease of Uber Eats and tempting as fuck. "You guys cook for your foster kids?" She asked curiously. Sky had a terrible experience in the foster system and she'd be lying if she said that she wasn't interested in Parker and Charlie's experience with fostering kids here in New York. "Like have family meals and what not?" She asked. @Hale ~ ParkerApril 2, 2021
ParkerBOT — 04/02/2021
“We try to, it’s easier to pick something up but I really want them to have that homey experience with us. I never know how they’re treated in homes so I wanna try to give them the best I can.” Parker shrugged. “I love sitting together and asking how everyone’s day was and it’s usually a safe space where they can speak freely about anything they want.” She added. “You should come join us one of these nights, dinners always open to anyone who wants to join.” Parker said. @em || 𝐀𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐧 & 𝐒𝐤𝐲 & 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬

Sky blinked a few times as she thought to herself. Maybe if she had foster parents like Parker and Charlie then she wouldn’t have had such a shit life, and maybe she wouldn’t have been as cold hearted as she was now. “They are really lucky to have people like you. People who care. There are way too many people out there who take advantage of the Foster system. They don’t care as much for the kids as they should, ya know?” Sky pressed her lips together when Parker invited her over. She though about the invitation for a moment. I’d be a little hard to see that, but at the same time it might be good for Sky. “I don’t really get along well with kids. And kids tend to not like me. But I’d love to come if you’d have me.” She smiled kindly. @Hale ~ ParkerApril 6, 2021
ParkerBOT — 04/06/2021
“Thanks, really.” Parker said, her lips turning up into a smile. Parker shifted her weight from one leg to the other as she listened intently. “I was lucky enough to have my dad, without him I don’t know what would have happened. It’s a scary thought but things would be completely different. When Charlie brought it up with me I was open to the idea, I didn’t realize how bad other homes could be. I’m really glad she got me to sign up.” Parker beamed, her hand coming up to scratch her shoulder. “Well you could come over any time, we love having guests. I still don’t think I get along with kids but I alright, some of them are little assholes though.” She half joked, thinking about these kids that tag her garage and break bottles in her alley every other weekend. @SkyApril 7, 2021
Sky.BOT — 04/07/2021
Sky let out a laugh when Parker told her that kids could be asshole. "Yeah, honestly, some of the kids in my dance class are little shits. It's pretty easy to pick favorites when some of them give you the biggest head aches. Which...I was a pretty big headache when I was younger so I feel for all of my teachers back then." She laughed. "Constantly getting in trouble. I hope for you sake that you don't come across some really bad kids. Because I was definitely one of those." She admitted, but she was happy to share some personal information since this was such a light hearted chat. @Hale ~ ParkerApril 8, 2021
ParkerBOT — 04/08/2021
"I definitely don't think that I could work with kids, I couldn't handle more than one kid at a time." Parker smirked. "I was the worst kid, I don't know how my dad put up with me. I've been suspended more times than I can count on one hand. We should swap stories when you come over for dinner, what kinds of food do you like?" Parker asked. "Oh, and if I get any little shits I'll for sure reach out." @SkyApril 9, 2021
Sky.BOT — 04/09/2021
Sky couldn't believe that she was working with kids either. She never really expected to do so, and never expected she would actually like it so much when Jaycee offered her the job at the dance studio. But she like that she could spend one about an hour with the kids, be able to foster a good relationship with them, then give them back to their parents later. "I'd rather work with them. That way I don't have to worry about raising them or anything. I can just have fun with them and teach them dance, and not worry about anything else." She chuckled. Sky knew that having kids was never going to be in the cards for her, and she was completely okay with that. Happy in fact. "Oh I'll probably eat anything you put in front of me. I've tried everything under the sun since I've moved around so much. Happy to swap stories too. I'm sure Charlie would be mortified." The dancer joked. "I'll make sure to scare them straight. Like that show." She joked. @Hale ~ ParkerApril 12, 2021
ParkerBOT — 04/12/2021
"That's very true, much less responsibility to shape their little lives." Parker nodded. "I get so nervous for my future kids, kid, I don't know how many I would want - I just hope I raise them well enough." She sighed. "I'll see what Charlie would want, then we can set a date and have you over. Same here, about the eating anything - I'm basically a living garbage can." She chuckled. "I love that idea, that way we don't have to get that show to come out." She said with a playful wink. @Sky
Sky.BOT — 04/12/2021
Sky thought about it she were to have kids in the future, and how they would turn out. Sky could barely keep her own life straight...she couldn’t be expected to keep another life straight too. Besides, this world was shit anyway — why would she want to bring another human into it? The dancer chuckled softly as Parker’s joke. “You have my number, right mate? Make sure you send me a text. I’m going to go find those herbs too. Do you have any good recipes you can send me?” @Hale ~ ParkerApril 16, 2021
ParkerBOT — Yesterday at 4:52 PM
Parker nodded. “Yeah, I believe I do! I’ll definitely reach out.” She smiled. Parker was glad she ran into her, she could use more friends. She didn’t know Sky all that well but she would love to get to know her better. “I’ll send you recipes with these herbs specifically so you don’t have to go find a whole bunch of stuff.” She beamed, knowing that following recipes with new items can be intimidating for people who don’t cook often. @Sky
