Ben and her android friend, Noor, who is currently inhabiting a military drone unit.
The idea is that its pressure and heat-sensitive internal sensors, meant for violence and self-assessment in battle, can instead be used for pleasure- and Noor himself doesn’t understand what he’s feeling.

The brutal contrast of Lava Lamp instantly agreeing to stay in the castle vs Syaoran at the start of Tsubasa having the same offer but continually refusing it, because he didn’t think it was proper.
And maybe that’s a natural difference between different sets of people in slightly different scenarios, or maybe it’s the general decline from 'Good' things into less good things when the timeline was interfered with. Like how previously Fujitaka was king and happily married to Nadeshiko, but the next time around Clow was king and Nadeshiko was nowhere to be seen, with Fujitaka already passed away. Like how Sakura used to be involved in purity rituals in the reservoir, but then it was just a ruin being excavated and nothing to do with Sakura.
I mostly just have a growing list of suspicions but let’s put a pin in it for now.
OH
NOW THAT IS PRECIOUS

Docs gonna get baby fever from chopper. This is a fun scenario to imagine for me. She just starts staring at zoro. Not even giving him bedroom eyes, just wide eyed. For some reason I like to think that she lacks subtlety
Oh she 100% lacks subtlety and Zoro at this point can tell how she’s feeling by certain ways she looks at him.
So, when he notices the way she’s looking at him, wide-eyed and zoned out, while Chopper is up on his shoulders he knows exactly what she’s thinking.
He knows cause he thinks about it too, sometimes.

Today I learned there’s a bunch of interesting shrimp, and now I want them as Cookies
I’m just going to list some I found today. I’ve already talked about Pistol Shrimp, so I won’t talk about it here
Harlequin Shrimp:
Like where do these things start and end? I don’t know, but they look really cool. I heard they can also change color based on their mood. If you were to make them a Cookie, I’d say make them a clown, perhaps for a rival circus to the Big Top Circus (that was the name of Banana and Ice Juggler’s circus, right?)
Amano Shrimp:
Okay, so maybe they’re not the most interesting looking, and maybe also not the most interesting, but still. Though also I hear that they change color based on their diet? I dunno. But what I was looking at that I thought was interesting was that they’re apparently very active cleaners. I feel like you could make them a cleaner that’s also very particular about messes, and perhaps a bit of a germaphobe? Like, if they see a mess, they just have to clean it
Vampire Shrimp:
(They apparently come in multiple colors, so I just got a few different pictures of different colors)
I think what makes them most interesting is that despite their size (apparently they’re pretty big, at least for shrimp) and name, they’re apparently rather calm and non aggressive. Also they’re supposedly pretty shy and reclusive. Honestly, it kind of reminded me of Dark Choco Cookie, which is probably a big reason I like them. Also they’re very big and bulky, which makes them look kind of cute to me, I don’t know why. Also they only come out at night, which is probably another reason for their name
I don’t have much in terms of ideas for a Vampire Shrimp Cookie, other than people finding them scary at first, only to realize they’re really not. I just wanted to show you them (also I feel like using this for a Dark Choco/Lobster kid if I ever do one)
Ghost/Glass Shrimp:
I mostly just added them because it’s an easy “ghost Cookie” if you wanted to have one. Also they’re see through, which is cool
Bay Ghost Shrimp:
Apparently these shrimps are soft, or at least softer than other shrimp. Also they have asymmetrical claws, as you can see. They apparently spend a lot of time burrowing. I’m also running out of ideas for how to turn this into a Cookie, but I thought it was neat. I suppose it would be something pertaining to its digging abilities
I think I’m gonna stop here, but still, cool shrimp
Edit: oh, also, another one, Boxer Shrimp, also known as Banded Coral Shrimp, among other names
Apparently they use their claws to clean fish and remove things like algae and parasites from them to eat. Also they can sense fish with their antenna apparently. I’d say either go the obvious route of a boxer, or something to do with their cleaning thing, though I don’t know what. Perhaps some sort of doctor? Maybe just confined to other sea creatures?
Also Fairy Shrimp
I wasn’t able to find much on them, but they’re relatively large and slow and typically used as food. Also they like to swim upside down. They’d probably make for a more cute Cookie
You know, I find it kind of ironic how I’m now thinking shrimp are really cool, despite the fact that my dad is allergic to shrimp (and I’m not sure if I am), and my family just generally dislikes seafood

God I love qsmp cyphers because I can learn about a beta maze cypher, look at a picture of Cucurucho, try to decipher it myself, get the word joce, look it up and discover it is used as New Orleans street slang/a colloquialism(??) for something you do to pass the time but also to talk with somebody to fuck with them or either while they’re in jail??
And I won’t have a clue if that’s real unless some grandma tells me otherwise or I get a dictionary definition….

Send sauce for King Baldwin IV fictions pls. 🤲🏻
Oh God, I'm bad with internet slang 😂 I assume that by 'sauce' you mean Baldwin fic recs?
If that's the case, then I've got some personal favourites for you (I hope I'm allowed to link them here):
Tu Salus Fidelium by Petit Parapluie
Song of a Peacebringer by Mercury Gray
The Cross, the Crescent, and the Star by Mercury Gray (crossover with A Discovery of Witches)
God Wills It by Mercury Gray
for whom the lord loveth he correcteth by skazka
Continuitas by skazka
Et Cetera by blodskaal
Dreaming of Montgisard by Ahsurika
Vide Cor Tuum by Cornix
The Quality of Mercy by Ravenclaw42
+ one to make you laugh: Rise a Knitter (in which Baldwin IV lives vicariously through making handicrafts) by ratherbrightred / the_lepic
There you go, dear anon - I hope you enjoy the King Baldwin fic starter pack! ❤
Note: This is by no means a comprehensive list; I'm probably forgetting a good portion of the KoH fics I read and enjoyed over the last two years. So if anyone has any additions, feel free to add them!
Also: Not all of these fics are completely Baldwin-centric. Most are narrated from the perspective of other characters; some fics are shippy stories, some aren't. But in all of them, Baldwin plays a significant role in the narrative, so that's something, I should think ;)
But I would highly encourage you to read fics about other KoH characters as well. There are some really good pieces of writing for Sibylla, Godfrey, Tiberias, Salah ad-Din, Balian, Imad ad-Din etc. out there that this list doesn't even touch upon, still waiting for some well-deserved love :)
