🍄 and 🏜️ and maybe 🐚? (wth is that even... a conch?)
(i think it is a conch but honestly it could be a megaphone. why are the emojis so SMALL)

Dean would be unlikely to do it, but I think he has the patience to be a baker, and Sam does not. Sam would get offended by the way that yeast can react differently every time and be like IT SAID TO RISE FOR AN HOUR AND IT'S BEEN AN HOUR, WHY DIDN'T IT WORK. Sam is very patient and precise but he doesn't have the particular kind of obsessive energy that's required; in contrast Dean -- if he gets suckered into something -- treats it with wackjob fandomite energy. I heard someone else described recently as "she's either never heard of it, or she was at the convention," and that's how Dean is about like. All things, lol. So I can see him getting super into his sourdough starter and rolling with mistakes and learning how to form dece rolls and getting all invested in making the Perfect Loaf. And then watching Sam bite into a slice slathered with butter and making that Sam Eating Dean's Cooking face, and feeling all smug and delighted. He's a homemaker at heart. :)
🏜️ ⇢ what’s your favourite type of comment to receive on your work?
Literally anything substantive. Honestly, that's it. I know that the people who leave like emoji hearts or whatever mean well, but my actual heart sinks every time I open an AO3 email and that's all it is. And whoever invented that 'you have already left kudos here ;)' meme can stub their toe once a week for a year, honestly. I know that makes me sound ungrateful and I truly appreciate that anyone would even take the time to open up the comment box at ALL, given how rare the behavior is, but... We do this because we want connection, sending creative work one way and hoping there will be some kind of reaction coming back the other, and when it's been hours and weeks and sometimes years of sweaty effort on this side, being met with "❤️" in return is just. Miserable, lol. (I guess it's less miserable than nothing at all.) But any time -- ANY time -- a reader mentions something specific they liked, or asks a question, or proves that they thought about the piece for longer than a second, it is a jolt of loving adrenaline straight to the withered heart and it makes it all worth.
🐚 ⇢ do you like or dislike surprises?
I like them! I guess it depends, haha. e.g. "hey we're all going to dinner, do you want to come? it's in an hour!" is the kind of surprise that makes me want to die. I'm very John Mulaney about plans. But given this is a creation-fandom-etc set of asks I'm trying to think about fandom-related surprises... A surprise gift? Always good. A surprise mention? Always a shock! A surprise sequel to a complete work? ...Could go either way, lol.
I'm really liking this era of reality show competitions that I believe started from the great british bake off, where it´s a competition, everyone wants to win, but it´s such a friendly and supportive environment.
Like, I love RuPaul's Drag Race, but I watch it because of the genuine talent and culture behind drag and even though it makes really good memes or interesting plays like in All Stars, sometimes the drama is too much.
So it's nice to have shows like Next in Fashion, Blown Away, Academy of Chocolate and such, they make me so happy. Like, honestly for mental health purposes, go to the Reality Show section of Netflix.
Bonus points for also doing these shows about not regular stuff that allows people to showcase their talent and those in the field of arts get an impulse and profit even if they do not win.
Wow cunt. Sorry for asking questions to understand more. Sorry for not being taught about this in school. Sorry for talking about a highly contested issue that has been around since the 1960s *minimum* and still nobody cares about Palestine. Sorry for only knowing modern Israel was made by the victors of WW2 to prevent another jewish genocide. Or at least thinking to know. Is this how you speak to everyone just trying to learn?
Shut the fuck up.
can't believe you're sending this to me LMAO, but i'll attach the ask and my response in question, just so everyone can see what i was talking about.
"whyyyyyyyy did the people whose land was stolen put themselves in the place where their land was stolen??? why did they think it was a good idea to be genocided????"
truthfully, my issue is that you approached this issue with a lackadaisical, near insulting attitude and a leading question; that inserted your misinformed opinion alongside a sort-of question. truthfully, you could have googled your question if you weren't looking to insert your, again, misinformed & half-baked opinion on top of that. you LITERALLY said "well, i agree with this, but NOT this". don't act dumb like you don't think you sent that ask to insert your own opinion. it came off as self-important and crass.
i didn't learn about this in school either. i'm 23 years old and only JUST became familiar with the topic in the past couple years. you wanna know why i know now?? I GOOGLED. i watched documentaries. i listened to palestinian journalists. and the whole time, i did not insert an opinion ONCE. much less open myself up to public political discussion on it. i knew that i knew next to nothing, and that it wasn't my place to talk over those who knew way more.
these people are enslaved and tortured. i didn't appreciate the way you talked about it. and i feel that you were motivated by things OTHER than a pure desire to learn. even if it WAS a pure desire to learn, you treated the topic with disrespect; at a time of (arguably) the most catastrophic series of war crimes committed against these historically imprisoned people.
not to mention, my 2 words and "woozy" emojis got you this fucked up. i think, genuinely, if after my response you felt so compelled to come into my ask box and call me a cunt?? you're too sensitive to be on the internet. i mean that. you need to grow a thicker skin, especially in the world of politics. people will disagree with you. always. no matter your opinion! politics is just that way. i didn't insult you, i didn't go into detail about my opinion of your ask at ALL until you came into my ask box and insulted me. (again, inserting your unwanted opinion into someone's messages. go figure.) others will not be so kind and i worry for your sake how you'll take it as you grow older and become more involved in politics.
i thought about not answering this or just inserting some meme, but i wanted to actually try and respect the topic like i feel you did not.
by the way, Israel was not "made after WW2". IT EXISTED AS PALESTINE. after WW1, Britain and France backstabbed their previous Arab allies, and COLONIZED EVERYONE'S LAND. this includes tons of middle-eastern countries, and the area of Palestine. The Zionist movement knew that the British military was withdrawing towards the end of WW2, and Britain for whatever reason gave control of Palestine to the UN. So, the Zionists argued for much more land than they were SUPPOSED to be allotted by the UN, knowing they would have the strongest military presence in the region (after Britain's withdrawal). They won. They then performed the Naqba (whole separate thing you should learn about, too complex to go here). Zionists won total control over Palestine, and continued racheting deeper and deeper into their ethnic cleansing. This is all heavily reduced just to give a simple gist. Israel was not just fucking invented in the 1940's, the same way the USA wasn't invented in the 1700's. it was STOLEN. people were ethnically cleansed and brutally tortured in order to take their land from them. even in your ask to ME you didn't bother to educate yourself before inserting YET ANOTHER PIECE OF MISINFO.
that's all i care to write (it's long i know lol). if you came into my ask box or DM's with a hint of decency, i would have loved to talk this over with you. but since we're throwing insults i guess, go fuck off back to where u came from, "cunt". (:
I saw in a comment section that James Acaster seems like Rick and Vyvyan's lovechild and I didnt know who that was at first. So i looked him up and I thought yeah this guy kinda looks a bit like both Rick and Vyvyan but then I realized he's in all the Great British Bake Off memes and I was THIS IS RICK AND VYV'S SON! Like the utter chaos and i dont give a shit attitude in the kitchen is all Vyv but the lisp and the brattiness is all Rick. Made the Bake Off Episode with him in it a hundred times better he's exactly what a Rivyan child would be like 😄
@frankenbolt has a headcanon like this, which is why in some of her fics Rivyan have adopted a little boy called James. 😂
I was tagged by the wonderful @lotrlorien, thank you my lovely 💛

What sports do you play/have played? I try to avoid sport as much as is humanly possible since but did I ballet as a kid, and when I was recovering from a back injury a couple years ago I started doing some yoga & pilates stretches to help.
Do you use sarcasm? I'm British, what do you think?
What the first thing you notice about people? Hmm, probably hair and eyes. And if they're smiling.
What's your eye colour? Dark brown - I'd say T30 going off this chart.
Scary movies or happy endings? Happy endings. I am not a scary movie person.
Any talents? Cross stitching and embroidery, writing, baking.

Do you have any pets? Nope, just a lot of plushies.
How tall are you? 5'3".
Favourite subject in school? English, drama, history
Dream job? Hmm. I do really enjoy my current job (publishing), but sometimes I look at these people who have managed to make a career out of crocheting/embroidering on Instagram and TikTok and think . . . yeah, that would be fun.
TAGGING: @minim236, @roboticonography, @lotsofthinkythoughts, @samseabxrn and of course my meme bestie @theawkwardterrier, if you want to play! 😘
I've been wanting to make fanart of fawx & stallion but idk what to draw. Suggestions? cool outfits or situations to draw them in or memes to draw them as? a specific scene you'd like to see fanart of?
Oh my goodness, we will ALWAYS welcome more fanart of the F&S crew! Probably not super helpful, but we'd always recommend drawing whatever excites you, and drawing the characters however you'd like!
That being said, we'd love to see what people think the various disguises look like (Britt Kensington, Daphne Pangea, ...George, etc)! And we always love to see some Archie and Ambrosius love (I personally always picture Archie in the "Started making it. Had a breakdown. Bon appetite" meme from Great British Bake Off).
Credit to @fyeahaudiodrama for the meme version of this but I dream of the day we're popular enough to get an illustrated version of "Ah yes. Me. My husband. And his two detective partners Hampton and Madge and their old fucking cat."
It actually feels like the reporter was almost unfairly (one shouldn't be so mean to blinkered people) and definitely slyly taking the pi$$ out of her and her delusions of grandeur; but, that she is too self-absorbed to read between the lines, and the journalist knows it and so takes great delight in penning the daggers that surreptitiously cut to the bone. It is a work of stealth, rather like the glittering spangly OTT beauty of a drag queen who captivates you from a stage and you realise afterwards with some disappointment that it is actually a man. The elite New Yorker and DC intelligentsia will love it. It feels and reads like a piece of criticism disguised with a sprinkling of platitudes, syrupy descriptions and words that would make MeMe's heart sing; like their office appearing as if they sit on adjacent thrones gazing out at their empire. Cue the Pink Panther theme music.
It seems clear from the article that the writer had the feeling that it was all a great big show - a put-on - with the heavy use of adjectives describing a series of staged vignettes designed to paint the picture of serene, blissful homeliness, girl guide level good deeds and dismissive largesse. It is like putting lipstick on a pig. Between the lines, it screams fake! fake! fake! as you envisage red flags and sirens popping up with regularity in the writer's head and you can almost feel the panic sweat of the author as she negotiates her way out of a near-hostage situation. What with the harvest basket and baked goods with Lili's label on them and Archie delivering a weeks worth of fruit to school once a week, and giving a back pack to the security guard to give to the homeless man on the corner. For the intelligent reader, one can discern that the writer could see it was being laid on thick, but decided to work it. The final work reads as if she is a cross between a psycho Red Riding Hood, Alexis Carrington and Marie-Antoinette, as it waxes satirically on in a dream-like manner about her glorious life. You can literally feel the narcissistic glow that she emits to capture the writer's senses. Yet, I sense the writer was not really all that captivated, but perhaps laughing up her sleeve. I could almost feel the cathartic relief at the end as the writer escaped the clutches of madness.
I am calling it... this is a cleverly constructed hit-piece - that MeMe is probably ecstatic over - but also one that will have many people especially in Aberdeenshire laughing their heads off while spitting their cornflakes! It is a magnificent creation, a Trojan-horse cover story that paints a Daliesque portrait of delusionary grandiosity. It is absolutely melting, nay dripping, with sarcasm, darlings!
I can't wait to see what River makes of it. I am sure that he will be filled with glee as he dissects it for his little fruits, you know...

I feel devastated for Sophie, this is a truly heartbreaking image. My heart goes out to her. ❤
You just posted a meme of Eddie looking at Buck in the bar. And listen I know there was a shit ton of layers worthy on an onion going on it that scene. Eddie struggling with. Ot being a firefighter ext.
But....... it's so funny when we look back, Buck didn't text Taylor to join him he asked Eddie. And he acted out when Eddie ghosted him. And Eddie felt left out an separate. And I guess my addled brain is just screaming dear God Buck just wants to hang out with you. Just you. If he had gone up to him and been like can we ditch this place and go watch British Bake Off, he would have called an uber!Uber!!
It just like you said in an answer earlier this week. They really are star crossed lovers!!
Hi lovely Nonnie! Thank you so much for your ask!
Okay, due to my vertigo I can't read back meta I've written before. Sometimes I remember what I said, sometimes I don't. Doing a quick search, I wrote about Buddie in the pub scene in the 511 meta, as well as in these three ask replies. If you read these, I hope I said at least one useful thing.
So because in this case, I don’t remember what I’ve said (you can fill me in with a summary if you’d like to. I would appreciate it), I’ll just agree with you that it is absolutely insane how much those two want to be together. Buck wants Eddie there. Even as he was coming to terms in that ep with Eddie not being at work, he still needed and trusted Eddie to be there when the team hung out. And Buck wasn’t wrong! Eddie did show up. I know he then ended up jumping to the wrong conclusion when he saw everyone seemingly so happy without him, so he left, but HE DID SHOW UP. Buck reached out to him, and Eddie came. Let’s be real, he would always come. There is no scenario in the world in which one of them calls or messages the other and the latter wouldn’t show up. Soulmates. Oblivious, moronic soulmates, but still. And yes! Their timing is always just one step out of sync, like all star crossed lovers. But they will eventually fall into step. It’s the one thing I have no doubt will happen on the show no matter what: their futures are forever entwined.
I hope you have a great day, lovely! And here is my ask tag! xoxox
Stealink this meme from @orchidbreezefc becuase it's 9am and i'm trying to encourage myself to be enough of a person to do all of them homework I didn't do over Thanksgiving break.
Last song? Oddly enough it's "We're All In This Together" from High School Musical, which I've never seen, but it's on the playlist I built for the absolutely insane Vampire the Masquerade game I'm in right now.
Favourite colour? Not to be stereotypical, but like... baby blue has my whole heart and it's a little bit because it's the Boy Color™ and I get to choose the gender things I like.
Last movie/TV show: Uh.... I've been bouncing around a lot. Either Phineas and Ferb or the Great British Baking Show.
Currently watching/listening: I am in the midst of binging all of Mythbusters while I try to write my first two major papers in five years.
Sweet/Spicy/Savoury? Spicy. Like, I like all of them, and I do have quite the sweet tooth, but I like spicy food enough that I trained up my spice tolerance. As a kid I couldn't handle spicy food at all, now I don't blink about ordering off the authentic menu at my favorite Sichuan place that doesn't spice adjust.
Relationship status: There's a sort of thing. I'm the occasional side piece of one member of a poly thruple, which honestly, has been a pretty ideal set up.
Current obsessions: So you know that Vampire the Masquerade game I mentioned? For all it's issues VtM has consumed me heart and soul. I liked it because vampires, but then I found a Jewish religious path in the Dark Ages configuration? And it was shockingly good? And that was the point I realized "Oh, I'm here to stay huh..."
Last thing you googled? How to spell "Sichaun."

Okay okay so I know I’ve done a bit of modern day kuro but here’s a longer post
- Sebastian does not know how to use electronics and is very wary of them. The electric lights are far too bright, he can’t even begin to comprehend what the internet is, and touch screen just seems like wizardry to him.
- also, and this is headcanon but so is the rest of it, Sebastian can see at higher fps than humans can, so he can see the individual frames on the tv and computer and frankly it gives him a headache
- Sebastian cannot drive a car.
- there are so many things. he doesn’t get what the clutch does. and you have to go so fast???
- also it’s not really like you can drive a car without lessons so he has to have someone he doesn’t know sit there and watch him repeatedly fail to change gears and he cannot stand it
- don’t get him started on the headlights. Humans should just be able to see! In the dark!
- Ciel’s maths homework. Ciel comes in one day and asks Sebastian for help with his maths homework, and Sebastian is agrees to help with no doubt in his mind that he can because he knows all the maths that one could reasonably need to know in their life (subtraction, multiplication, maybe a bit of basic geometry) and he is totally right, but that’s not what teach kids in school.
- Sebastian doesn’t even know what a parabola is, let alone where its roots are. And there are LETTERS?? Ciel watches his 2000+ year old butler speedrun all five stages of grief and discover some new ones along the way just because of his maths homework.
- AEROPLANES.
- FUCKING AEROPLANES.
- he thought ships were bad but aeroplanes just take the cake. humans just fly themselves off into the stratosphere in these massive metal tubes that must weigh the same as several whales with wings that don’t even flap and yet they still stay in the sky??? That’s not how flight works???
- they have to go on a plane once and Sebastian spends the entire thing this 👌 close to having a complete and utter mental breakdown
- ciel: u good? Sebastian, gripping the seat handles tight enough to bend/crack them: perfectly fine.
- they have gone to the MOON. humans have gone INTO the SKY. THATS NOT ALLOWED WTF. THE SKY ISNT EVEN A PLACE YOU CAN GO ITS JUST DECORATIVE WHAT ARE HUMANS ON???
- sebastian does not know what a meme is. Ciel does.
- Sebastian is kind of suspicious of modern medicine, both because he can’t even begin to understand it and because he’s grown up with kind of unreliable medicine. He spends a long time pinning down a slightly confused doctor about what exactly is in Ciel’s inhaler.
- also Sebastian giving the A&E department heart attacks. Comes in there after his fight with Grell with his arm half hanging off and flatly refusing painkillers beCAUSE YOU CAN NEVER TELL WHATS IN THESE THINGS.
- A&E thinks they have a bunch of broken ECG monitors because ‘his heart rate can’t be that slow he’s still conscious’ but no that’s just how his heart is.
- He’d absolutely LOVE cat videos. It’s his only motivation to learn to use the internet.
- Sebastian, in tears: look,,, at this cat. It just keeps,,, jumping in and out of the box,,,
- in terms of dress I am very torn between him still being a butler so basically just wearing what he wears in the show, Sebastian dressing like a man having his midlife crisis a la Lestat in The Vampire Lestat, and Sebastian existing solely in cardigans.
- all of Ciel’s classmates joke about Sebastian being an immortal and Sebastian panics.
- they watch BBC Sherlock together and Ciel’s like ‘this is such a bad mystery show and such bad adaptation of the novels >:(‘ and Sebastian’s like ‘Martin Freeman😍’ (and is Mrs Hudson’s #1 fan)
- Sebastian watches The Great British Bake Off religiously. He has the taste in TV of a fifty year old woman. It’s coming up to Christmas, Ciel just wants to watch some Norwegian crime show and Sebastian’s like ‘no. Kirsty’s. Christmas. Crafts’. Ciel seriously regrets telling Sebastian about TV.
- Sebastian does not get CG though. He gets practical effects but he does not get how a computer can just make things exist. Ciel tries to explain it and eventually gives up.
- Sebastian v Smoke Detector
- Sebastian hears the smoke detector for the first time and nearly has a heart attack
- Ciel tells him about vacuum cleaners and mops and Sebastian nearly cries with joy.
- also central heating is literally the best thing ever. He still likes fireplaces and definitely still lights the fire during winter for the ✨ambience✨ but he very much approves of the radiators
- Mey-Rin loving horror movies (obvs) and Sebastian’s like oh sure I’ll watch one with her but he has not been desensitised to them (see: everyone losing their shit about The Exorcist back in the 60s but nowadays it’s not that bad). They watch Autopsy of a Jane Doe or something and Sebastian is Not Okay.
- he likes the Gay Horror Podcasts ™ though (Sebastian listening to the Magnus Archives anyone?) good old fashioned horror story + its gay whats not to love?
I’ll definitely add more but my rsi is really protesting so for now enjoy
Which one sexts like a straight white boy? Elena probably, Klaus absolutely does not but it will rile him up enough to come find her so mission accomplished
Which one cried during a fucking disney movie? Elena, when Bambi's mom dies, no matter how many times she's seen it. Klaus during Treasure Planet, the part when Iris by the GooGoo Dolls plays hits a little too close to home.
Who put a goddamned fork in the microwave? Klaus, when it wouldn't stop beeping at him with that tone.
Who does the silly hands-over-the-eyes “Guess who” thing? I could actually see both of them doing this, but Klaus did it first.
Who puts their cold hands/feet on their partner? Elena. Why is she always so cold???
Who had that embarrassing Reality TV marathon? No one knows who started it, but they spent a week once binging the Great British Bake Off.
Who laughs more during sex? Elena, but he's instigating
WHO IS THE LITTLE SPOON? Elena 100%. But if Klaus rolls over in his sleep sometimes she'll be a lil backpack on him. He secretly likes the way her little arms curl around his chest.
