#and... baja blast for some reason

[deliriuxe]

oh yeah, I did forget to post these, didn't I?

[porcupiney]

had an experience i apparently felt i could only properly document thru rage comic

[metaldevilll]

i think i know what my taste in fictional men is now. i can see ALL of my male aligned f/os enjoying baja blast. i like baja blast lovers

[neganium]

god I wish I could afford to have food delivered; the only food around here that has delivery as part of its service is pizza and boy howdy, I do not want any pizza, lmao. last time I had it it sucked for some reason.

actually what I really wanna do is hit up taco bell through the drive thru, but the cat can't be left by himself (not entirely true since some nights I go to bed early so he's by himself, anyways), and sending my mom to do it (not that she even would) kind of eliminates some of the experience for me. I don't get to get out of the house very often, mostly due to a lack of nice days as of late. it's been too hot lately and I'm frankly sick of it!

[jibitzlesscrocs]

OK LISTEN, first of all hiiiii love ur writing😭😭😭 second of all.. best friend reader x best friend Chris. They are sooo close and tell each other everything, and because of this chris immediatly understand when she has a crush on someone, but this time he is CONVINCED (for some reason) that she has a crush on him.. while in reality she has a crush for Matt AHAHAH. And he is actually relieved because he sees her as his little sister, and cares too much about their friendship. And then he is like “omg we can become family if you get with my brother” and he tries some stupid shit to push them together (it actually works). Hope you like this!!

sibling dynamic !! i kinda love this, enjoyyy

bsf!chris sturniolo — matt sturniolo x reader

warning : none

becoming family

in which, chris sets his best friend up with his brother

You and Chris have always been that kind of best friends—the inseparable, no-boundaries, tell-each-other-everything duo. You’ve cried in front of him. He’s seen you at your worst (like that time you ugly cried during Marley & Me) and your most chaotic (like that time you fell off your skateboard and screamed at a bush because you thought it was alive).

Point is—there’s nothing you can hide from him.

Which is why, when your little crush on Matt starts spiraling into full-blown feelings, you try really, really hard to stay normal. No dreamy sighs. No flushed cheeks. No zoning out when Matt walks in shirtless after a shower (you failed at that one, badly).

So when Chris turns to you one afternoon, mid-Taco Bell run, and says, “You like someone,” it’s not even surprising.

You choke on your Baja Blast. “What?”

“You’ve got that look,” he says, like he’s Sherlock Holmes. “That dumb little dazed smile. The way you do when you start falling for someone.”

You clutch your drink a little tighter. “You’re imagining things.”

Chris smirks. “It’s me, isn’t it?”

You literally snort. “What the hell?!”

He leans back in his seat, triumphant. “It is! You’ve caught feelings for your charming, hilarious, deeply handsome best friend. It was only a matter of time.”

You stare at him, horrified. “Chris. No. Ew. You’re like my brother.”

His face falls. “Wait, seriously?”

“Seriously.” You look away. “It’s… Matt.”

Chris is silent for a solid five seconds before his jaw drops. “Matt?! MY Matt?!”

You nod, bracing for a dramatic meltdown.

Instead, Chris lets out a breath of pure relief. “Oh my God. THANK YOU.”

You blink. “What?”

“I thought I was gonna have to crush your feelings,” he says, dramatically wiping his forehead. “I was practicing gentle rejection speeches in my head. But this? This is PERFECT. We could be family.”

You narrow your eyes. “Don’t start—”

“I’m starting. It’s already started. I’m the wedding officiant. I’m the godfather to your future children. I’ve picked out your couple name—”

You chuck a tortilla chip at his forehead.

—

From then on, Chris goes full chaos matchmaker.

Every time Matt enters the room, Chris makes some excuse to leave.

He starts randomly blurting out fake emergencies like, “Oh no, I forgot I left my mug in the microwave!” or “Be right back! I left my pepsi over there.”

You and Matt end up alone. A lot.

And weirdly… it’s working.

Matt starts leaning into the little moments—offering you sips of his water, brushing lint off your jacket, sitting just a little too close during movie nights. You catch him looking at you more. Smiling in that quiet, careful way of his.

One night, you’re both standing in the kitchen after everyone else has gone to bed. The lights are dim, and the fridge hums softly as you eat ice cream straight from the tub.

Matt nudges your spoon. “You always steal the cookie dough pieces.”

“I have no shame.”

He laughs under his breath, then says, “Chris has been acting like he’s in a Hallmark movie lately.”

You raise an eyebrow. “You noticed, huh?”

Matt nods. “I figured it was about you.”

You set the spoon down. “And… how do you feel about that?”

Matt leans in, just slightly. “I was hoping it was true.”

Your heart stutters. “It is.”

He’s so close now, and there’s that pause—the breath before the leap—and then Matt kisses you. Sweet, sure, and somehow slow and fast at the same time.

You melt into it.

And then—he kisses you again. This time deeper. You grab the front of his hoodie and pull him closer, and he cups your face like you’re something breakable. He tastes like cookie dough and midnight and everything soft.

When you break apart, foreheads touching, you’re breathless and smiling like an idiot.

“That was…” you whisper.

Matt grins. “Long overdue?”

You nod.

—

Chris catches you two the next day on the living room couch—your head on Matt’s shoulder, his hand resting lazily on your thigh.

Chris shrieks like someone’s won the lottery. “I KNEW IT! I’m a mastermind!”

You both burst into laughter, and Chris immediately launches into a monologue about his matchmaking skills. You try to threaten him into silence, but he’s too hyped up to care.

Later that night, you and Matt sneak off to the porch again. The string lights are twinkling, and you’re curled up next to him under a blanket.

“Second kiss?” Matt murmurs.

“Thought you’d never ask.”

And this one’s slower, deeper, the kind of kiss that says this is something real now. Something worth holding onto.

Inside, Chris watches from the kitchen window, fists pumping in victorious silence.

Best friend turned sister-in-law? He’s never been prouder.

i love thisss

[razzafrazzle]

on the way home from work the other day the phrase "bajalatro" popped up in my head and for some reason it was making me laugh so hard my face was red. it's truly not that funny i don't know what my problem is. but i made it real as a means to exorcize this demon from my soul

[image description: an edited balatro card that shows jimbo holding a can of mountain dew baja blast and wearing sunglasses. end id]

[scarymonsters-andsupercreeps]

If you're still open to requests, maybe Trish?? Perhaps with a fatherly Doppio? Btw I love your art!!! The way you draw eyes is absolutely gorgeous!!!

Omg I love this idea (and it’s an excuse to draw MY QUEEN Trish!!!) and thank you for the compliment!!!

You get two drawings because I initially whipped up the comic and then felt bad for not giving you a standalone drawing.

They’re getting boba because Doppio is a cool and hip dad and totally knows what teens like 😼 (he asked her)

Trish got Baja Blast eyes for some reason? Couldn’t tell you what I was on about when I colored this.

Thank you for the request anon! I hope you like them!!!🩷🩷

Chris X Stoner!Y/N

Chris Pontius X Fem!Reader

Warnings: highly suggestive content, drug use, weed, injury mention, makeouts, car sex

An: Thank you for sending in your request!! I’m totally fine writing drug use, although I don’t have a ton of personal experience with it, so please excuse me if this inaccurate XD Coincidentally, this is releasing super close to 4/20, so maybe you could consider this a special! Anyways, thank you for reading, and please keep sending in requests!

Exhausted from a night of partying with the guys, Chris drowsily stumbled through the adjoining door into your hotel room- instead of the one that led to the bed he rightfully claimed (because someone was in it)

Only to find you, his straitlaced, sick up her ass (Steve’s words, not his) girlfriend, reclining on your mattress:

Joint in one hand, with the other one lost in a bag of Doritos. Caught red handed, you stammered, “I-I, uh…”

That’s it. Your reputation as a respectable professional in the entertainment industry was over. But hey, that’s what you said when you joined the Jackass crew, so who knows?

Even more than the sudden intrusion, the excited smile the spread across your boyfriend’s face had you taken aback. “Can I join?” Blinking in surprise, you scooted over, “Oh! Yeah, sure- C’mere…”

Pontius found it funny: here was the woman who, just this morning, was bickering about staying on the filming schedule, who’d gotten thrown in a titter when he gouged his leg doing that toro totter stunt-

Hours later, you were in some shithole motel, passing the joint and watching Discovery Channel- something about Africa.

Chris gestured to the screen, “Hey, I went there for Wildboyz!” Your eyes went big, looking between your boyfriend and the elephants on tv.

“Woah…we’re- were they really that big?” “Yeah!” “Cool…”

After a few moments of watching in silence, you got a genius idea. Eyes glimmering, you piped up, “Hey, y’know what’d be really good?” You chuckled, “We should get Taco Bell.”

Yeah, the most cliche stoner thing to do. However, not only did it have more vegetarian food than any other fast food place, it was the only one around that was open after midnight,

So, sneaking out like a bunch of teenagers, you commandeered the van for a late night rendezvous.

The whole drive there you were snickering, first at your little scam, and then at each other, and then you were laughing at the absurdity of laughing at nothing!

When you got to the beautiful, glowing oasis that was the Taco Bell, you ended up ordering half the menu,

“Can I get, uh…four potato soft tacos, a bean and rice burrito, a cheese quesadilla, some chips and guacamole-“

Chris leaned over and whispered something in your ear before you turned back to the speaker, “And those cinnamon twist things?” “And two Baja Blasts!”

Admittedly, it was way more food than you’d be able to eat, but it seemed completely reasonable at the time

I mean, it was really good Taco Bell! In fact, the mood was so good that your boyfriend leaned over and planted one on your lips.

Fumbling in the dark, undressing each other, one kiss turned into two…

And that little makeout sesh in the front seat migrated further back- the pushing back of the seats, brushing noses and soft giggles…

A mission to grab food morphed into sweet, kissy stoner sex, noises murmured into eachother’s mouths as your bodies moved all gentle against each other,

Which, as romantic as it was, only lasted so long before you fell asleep in eachothers’ embrace, half clothed and surrounded by Taco Bell wrappers.

In fact, thats how the guys found you the next morning, shaking the two of you awake with a sliding whoosh from the van door!

“Ah!” Tugging your tank top down to cover yourself, you sat up with a jolt, “Nothing! Nothing to see here!”

“Woah…” Watching you skitter off, then looking back to Chris, Steve raised an eyebrow, “Dude, what happened?”

Smiling groggily, your boyfriend sat up with a stretch, “Yeah, we did a little partyin’ last night.” “Her?” “Yeah…” Looking back again after you, Steve nodded, “Right on…”

mel if the mob psycho 100 characters were to get burgers what do you think their orders would be (drinks included)

OK WAIT SO IVE NEVE R EATEN A BURGER REALLY . ihad a vegetable patty Once and hated it . so i am not a burger expert but. ☝️ i will try for you. ALSO ILITERALLY HAVE NERVE DRINKED SODA SO IWILL ALSO TRY MY BEST ON THATR

i think reigen would order something inadvertently very fucking messy. like he's not about to spend all his savings on a damn burger so hes not getting like. anything SUPER BIG but he gets something reasonably big because. Borger. the one shot of him eating a burger... also he'd get like a smoothie or somethinh. fruity. GET IT BECAUSE HES A. FAAAAAGGOT sorru reigen i love you

tome same thing except she literally saves allowance to get somrthing about the same size as whatever reigen is getting and then takes like 3 bites and decides. wow this is disgusting. and doesnt finish it. also her gamer juice (baja blast)

ritsu and shige both come off as relatively light eaters to me so i dont think they r getting anything crazy. ritsu however is probably getting domrthing insane like just two burger buns and lettuce and eating it as if its totally normal. "i dont like the texture of the patty" people ask him why he foesnt get something like salad instead but shigeo is like Leave him alone. and they do. he eats his lettuce pattyless burger in peace. shige is a basic bitch he just gets a burger. regular burger whatever that is. aldo fries his fries :) they both get some kinda lemonade... i think ritsu likes pink lemonade. shige WOULD get milk but i imagine he doesnt because the texture of burger and milk combined is unpleasant

sho is eating something completely normal and mundane but he like. quietly pours hot sauce on it or something just for the extra pop. thats not me going Haha omg fire boy crazy chaotic Lol!!! i just sincerely think he would do this. that and i imagine his spice tolerance is very low so he just keeps doing it for shits and shiggles . he'd get a sprite :)

TERU. he's getting multiple burges of different kinds. whats something absurdly large? hes getting that ok. hes a growing boy. ❤️ he orders like a third of the thing s on the menu and then when the waiter comes back around hes like Oh, and- also i think he'd get either a slushie or orange juice... WITH PULP. CRUCIAL

I THINK SERIZAWA AND SHIGE ARE THE TOW MOST NORMAL PEOPLE HERE. I feel like szawa wouldnt really care for fast food, being more used to home cooked meals from his mama :) and shige just orders a burger like a normal person

[angelmichelangelo]

If you had to split the four animated show turtles into equally portioned groups of four for a crossover fic/if you were writing a special, how would you go about it?

Rules: Every group must have 1 of each turtle (one Leo, one Raph, one Donnie, and one Mikey), and they must be from different shows (one 1987, one 2003, one 2012 and one Rise).

oh! this is such a fun question! :D

ok so it terms of which turtles i'm picking, that is really tough. if we're going off of the plot i just made up in my head then i guess the following makes SOME sense so strap in because im kinda making this up as i go haha:

so for leo, i think i'm gonna have to pick rise: he's new to the whole leader thing, still finding his feet even after the krang invasion -- plus if im writing this thing, i'd like to imagine it's one of leo's portals that end them up in this situation in the first place.

for raph i'm thinking 2007: he's rough around the edges slightly older but yet very bemused by these other versions of his brothers. plus i just think 2007 raph is very cool. 2007 turts don't get enough rep so he's there!

for donnie it'd have to be 2003: he's one of my favourite donnie's and as someone who's already experienced a trans-dimensional turtle universe crossover he brings some knowledge to the table. i also would just think it would funny to see rise leo and 2003 donnie interact based on how vastly different each version of that character is.

and mikey i'm going last ronin. i have a reason for this so just sit tight lol

more under the cut because this gets REALLY long oops

in terms of plot:

so it's set after the events of the rise movie. things on earth are slowly yet surely moving forward; the city is being rebuilt, the turtles have yet another new home to make theirs. casey jr is settling in pretty well into his new family. things are looking up!

leo is still their leader and raph is more than overly proud of how far he's come since the beginning of the movie's events: he's taking things more seriously, he's working hard! to leo's brothers, things are coming back together again. it's all good!

but to leo, not so much. see leo puts on a good face and can act like he's doing better, but deeper down than just that surface level, he's not doing so hot. he's really struggling. he's going through The Works of all of his ptsd and trauma but behind closed doors, mostly because he thinks he's the only one still struggling with the effects of the previous events. casey jr like mentioned, is doing well after everything, and with everyone seemingly moving on, leo feels kind of stupid for how he feels, feeling like he's falling behind and he doesn't know why.

so that's why he's pushing himself pretty hard. trying to throw himself into training and such to 'toughen himself up'. he's maybe a little harder on his brothers as a result which brings up some tensions. im gonna focus on the leo mikey dynamic here because i love me some baja blast but also because this'll be plot relevant later. so maybe they're kicking street gang butt. and mikey is goofing around a little as he does it, mikey-ing it up like he does, and in the midst of the fight, maybe leo has a bit of a flashback, bringing on a panic attack that goes a little unnoticed, and as a result, he lashes out.

he comes down hard on mikey, shouting the odds about maybe being more careful or paying better attention all that jazz, before raph and donnie step in and are like. hey woah. theres no need for that.

leo is still having his ptsd panic attack; it's clouding his judgement and obscuring his thoughts. donnie gets defensive (because hey! they're just teens and they're not perfect at recognising their own and others emotions!) and maybe yells back and leo in his brothers defence.

leo feels like they dont get it! they dont understand what he's going through but feels too ashamed or afraid to ever voice it, so it kind of all bottles up inside and makes him angry and hurt, hence why he's kind of lashing out right now. he's just scared, above all, that he's not like his brothers and they're better at handling their issues than he is, and whether or not that makes him a worthy leader.

this all causes a big fight between him and his brothers (after their beef with the street gang is over btw) and leo goes to storm off, still subtly fighting off the panic attack and goes to portal himself home except... his swords don't take him home.

leo somehow ends up in an entirely different universe. one that feels strangely similar to the prison dimension, panic now dialled up to like a million, he's REALLY not having a good time right now, and as a result, his mystic energy kind of just, waters out and he's struggling to make a portal back home. this just makes him flail even more, and because of it, he fails to see the synjas (because we are in the last ronin verse now baby!) but is saved last second by someone pushing him out of the way.

they take cover, maybe there's a bit of a scuffle between this unknown turtle and the synjas (think SAINW moment where mikey came outta the shadows) because it is in fact 2003 donnie!

leo is completely confused because.. how?! is this donnie?? there's some brief introductions before they go to take shelter and leo is asking like a million questions because he has NO idea whats happening until donnie breaks it down to him after they find a safe place to hide it out.

see, 2003 donnie knows about alternative universes and such (SAINW + turtles through time) so i guess im kind of serving him as a bit of expositional dump here for leo, but also because i think this donnie would be a good match against leo’s panic and fear. he’s really helpful at fielding leo through his attack and gently explains that his leo back at home goes through the same stuff to which rise leo is like. oh great, we’re all pathetic. cue donnie looking sad making that :< face i love lmao. 

so after it’s established that they’re in a different universe, donnie explains that he kind of just woke up here. leo gets a feel that perhaps his mystic energy might have been at play here, so he tells a white lie and is like. oh yeah me too lol how crazy! and feels again, ashamed of himself that he might have done this to poor donnie. 

it’s shown that shredder is now ruling over the city and this is kind of… a bad timeline. donnie doesn’t give too much away but leo can tell he has… ahem. certain experiences with a similar situation but donnie assures him that as long as they stick together they’ll be fine, and if they ended up here somehow, theres probably a way back home too. 

it doesnt take long for the synjas to find them again, a hoard of them this time overpowering leo and donnie and they’re getting their asses kicked something crazy until there’s the sound of a motorbike revving and boom. in comes 2007 raph. 

he doesn’t necessarily save them but him being so badass inspires the others to push a little harder and eventually the three of them escape together. raph has the same questions as leo had, similar situation where he explains he kind of just woke up here.

donnie cant be certain what the reason is as to why they’re here, but is set on figuring it out after they deduct that donnie is, as always, their brains of the team. so whilst they find a place to hide for the night, they get talking. they come to find that with some varying differences, their lives are kind of the same in a sense. 

raph and donnie are breezing through all the shit they’ve been through, listing off The Horrors and again leo is there listening like.. well THEY seem fine! wtf is wrong with me!! and kinda closes himself off because he feels even more stupid now. UGH LEO !!

raph sees this and tries ribbing him a little like. oh classic leo move you think you’re so tough and you’re better than us yada yada just because he wants him to open up (and maybe this raph was raised on a little more tough love than the others) but it doesnt work and leo snaps at him and tensions are now rising. donnie ever the pacifist and peacemaker reminds them that if they wanna get out of this hell hole its gotta be together as a team.

that’s when it’s mentioned that technically, they don't really have a full team.

cutaway to a turtle (who could it possibly be!) standing before the city on like a hill with lightening cracking because. dramatics and whatnot.

the next day, things are still rough and leo hasn’t slept much and maybe donnie is fussing over him, but leo shrugs him off and is like. IM FINE >:( and so donnie gives him some space as the 3 of them head out to go find some info about this universe they’ve found themselves in. 

they end up finding out kind of like the base level info about the last ronin verse, wondering if maybe the turtles exist at all here since they haven’t seen any. 

leo is still brooding and stuff and still festering a bit of guilt when maybe raph is like. man i need to get home to my brothers this place sucks (he has seperation anxiety remember). and maybe donnie is having his own ptsd and leo feels even WORSE because OH. they… they are suffering just as much as he is. oops. 

and then boom they’re attacked again by synjas whom of which overpower them this time and take them to oroku hiroto (grandson of the shredder) who is like. bro what. all these turtles??

so whilst shredder jr jr tries to figure out whats happening here and whats going on, the turtles are put in captivity where leo now kind of just, has a full blown meltdown. he regretfully admits that this was all HIS fault and that he brought them here by mistake and hes just a screw up and and hes nothing like THIER leader leo and he isnt cut out for this!! 

and donnie and raph are like. WOAH!! pause. take a breath. its alright.

leo thinks theyre just being nice out of well. niceness but raph is like, you think my leo is perfect? he left us for months without a word because he was so caught up in his own head because of all the shit he went through, he aint perfect. 

and donnie is like. yeah lol same with my leo tbh.

and then does leo finally start to recognise that he’s not supposed to be perfect. he still however feels like hes miles behind from his brothers in terms with coping with his trauma and donnie is like. UM HELLO? and explains that this whole situation has been messing with his head because of HIS own trauma. raph too, with his separation anxiety, and they both explain that its not a race, and chances were, his brothers back home were probably hiding aspects of it too, like leo is because they’re all just as stupid as each other, through universes. 

leo is like. HUH. okay that makes sense lowkey so thanks but um.. aren’t we about to die :/

shredder comes and is like. yep real BUT THEN!!

enter last ronin mikey. he rocks everyones shit and donnie leo raph are just :O in awe because oh. THERES their little brother lmao

mikey manages to free the others as hiroto escapes when leo is like. where tf were YOU the entire time lmao.

mikey is like. in the shadows, duh, you guys are terrible ninjas. lmao. and now that it’s established that it was leo that brought them here, they believe its up to leo to get them home. 

so since being captured their weapons have been taken away so together they devise a plan to get them back as they run around the shredders lair. chaos and action ensue, imagine them all being very badass and helping one another as they kind of.. like face their fears and stuff that show leo that recovery isn’t perfect and linear and all that:))

there’s also a moment where mikey maybe is with leo and as they catch their breath hes like. oh yeah i overhead what you were worrying about and dude just know that you can only heal when you heal together like dont do it alone. leo then notes that if this is last ronin’s universe then why is he alone and then the penny drops and hes like… oh:(( right

last ronin mikey gives him some real wisdom about how trying to move past your traumas alone sucks, and that he personally doesnt have much of a choice, but rise leo does, much like how 2003 donnie and 2007 raph and all the other versions of the turtles DO. 

he tells him that it started with just them four and in every other universe, it ends with them too. 

cue the emotional swell of music idk lol

they get leos swords as mikey holds back the shredder and now with the power of friendship lmao leo gets his mystic energy working and with some heartfelt goodbyes, sends both donnie and raph back to their homes. leo cant hold the portal open forever and as mikey remains struggling to keep shredder away leo begs him to maybe come with him, where he can find him a better home with a better outcome. 

mikey says something like. ‘nah, kid, this is my destiny. go get your own,’ and then leo either leaves or mikey pushes him through. 

leo ends up back in the lair, stumbling through the portal to his unbothered brothers. to them, he’s maybe only been gone a couple hours. maybe they say something tongue in cheek like. “man, you took your time. what you took a detour to south america/japan to get here?” and then leo just bursts into tears.

all previous tension is GONE and they’re rushing to him like. omg what:(( whats wrong?

he breaks it down to them now that a LOT is wrong and that he was sorry but he’s not coping all that well after the invasion still and thought he could handle it on his own. 

maybe them mikey comes forward and is like. hey. we handle it together or we dont handle it at all. kind of a callback to what ronin mikey told him. cue lots of hugs and warm fuzzy feelings. and thats the end.

SO YEAH. i made this up as i went along. i dunno!! im not big into writing multiverse turtle fics but this was fun to imagine as an episode or like a mini tv movie or something:)) lmk what you thought because i just have a lot of feelings about traumatised turtles going through their shit lmao

THANKS FOR THE ASK sorry this turned into the longest thing ever lmao

[the-paladin-and-the-cleric]

Some Reddie headcanons I have for absolutely no reason

- Eddie hates driving when Richie is in the car because Richie is an obnoxious backseat driver, but absolutely loves driving alone.

- Eddie also loves going on drives up in the mountains once he moves to LA with Richie, because he can speed like a maniac with 0 consequences because everyone is speeding

- Richie is extremely worried about Eddie when he goes out on joyrides because Richie is a surprisingly reasonable driver. But, Richie is too anxious to say anything for fear of sounding like Eddie's mother, so he opts to call Ben (who is similarly terrified for Bev constantly once she starts working through her post-divorce post-derry bucket list)

- Richie chews gum, but exclusively bubblegum flavored gum, never EVER mint, he thinks mint gum is sacrilegious (he also swallows the gum, of course)

- Eddie is addicted to KitKats and peanut butter cups

- Richie prefers sour candy to chocolate, except when he goes to the movies with Eddie and absolutely demolishes boxes of Raisinets which Eddie is horrified and disgusted by

- Eddie drinks venti lattes with multiple extra espresso shots like an absolute psychopath, as well as owning an elaborate at home coffee bar (Nespresso machine, torani syrups, fancy milk frother, coffee grinder) he's not a snob, but he is an absolute addict. Somehow he is never more jittery and anxious with caffeine than he is as base model non-caffeinated Eddie- if anything coffee mellows him out

- Richie, in spite of what changes in terms of money and fame, will always choose an iced vanilla coffee at McDonald's, or shitty diner coffee with a ton of creamer if under pressure and in need of caffeine. He also loves those disgusting canned oatmilk coffees

- Eddie is creeped out by people without allergies/intolerances chosing to drink alternate milks, and fiercely defensive of Whole Milk as the Superior Milk (it's just better! and nothing else tastes the same or froths the same for lattes)

- Richie will forget Eddie's order at restaurants and cafes they frequent, forget half their grocery list unless it's in text form, and literally cannot remember the name of his own prescription medication. Eddie has to text him reminders any time Richie is picking something up for them so he doesn't completely fuck it up. However, he's amazing at remembering Birthdays and Anniversaries.

- On a similar note, Richie has a fantastic singing voice but can't remember lyrics properly so he serenades Eddie with his own versions of songs (primarily focused on making Eddie elbow him in the gut for "being disgusting and ruining all music forever") whereas Eddie has impeccable memory with lyrics but can't sing for shit. This leads to constant arguments. Especially when involving Richie's rendition of Danger Zone. (Why the fuck would you choose "highway to my dick and balls"??? That doesn't even rhyme with danger zone)

- Eddie will not for the life of him go to the hospital even if he's literally been stabbed because anything medical to do with himself is a trigger, but any odd health concerns peers mention he can almost immediately give scarily accurate advice on- Richie frequently bothers Eddie about his own colds/pains/etc, especially about his headaches and wether or not they are migraines

("no, dickwad, you have a left side headache because you literally haven't had water since 2014"

"I have had... Drinks that contain water"

"Baja blast doesn't count")

- Richie's comfort meal is home cooked chicken noodle soup with ginger and lemon- if he is even slightly feverish he is doing his best sad, sick boyfriend eyes at Eddie about making it

- Eddie's comfort meals are a rotating cycle of Taco Bell, boxed mac and cheese, and frozen pizzas, but if he's even slightly sick he's fasting besides water, bone broth, and ginger tea- in his mind, comfort meals are for emotional pain, not physical sickness

- Richie temporarily worked as a Doordash/Uber Eats Driver

One of Eclipse’s favorite hobbies is gaming. He tends to turn off the game volume and listens to music instead. He’s great with rhythm games for some reason, and excels in shooter games.

Also, Foxy LOVES Mountain Dew Baja Blast. (I don’t quite remember if he can drink-) He can drink it at any time, any day.

I love those headcanons!

Have you made food based spells? Also, have you made stat blocks for your personal favorite mythical monsters?

Good questions! Answers below the cut.

Food-based spells

For a while, we were working on a whole food-based setting, called Cakewalk. Unfortunately it's been somewhat abandoned; the project was a collaboration, and that collaboration fell apart. Prior to that happening, I had mostly been working on writing up monster stat blocks - you'll find some of them under the #cakewalk tag on this blog.

However! You will also find three spells under that tag! Cure is obviously meant as a play on cure wounds, and is mostly a joke spell, but caramelise and molassacre are deadly serious.

I stopped posting Cakewalk content when the project was placed onto hiatus, but there were plenty more ideas in the works at that time, including a cantrip called butter fingers and a whole raft of magic items. At this point, I'm afraid those are going to stay on the drawing board forever.

Aside from explicit 'Cakewalk content', there are a number of other spells on here that could be construed as food-based. Some off the top of my head: candyblast, lesser and greater Baja Blast, okayberry, and the very recent power word: sweets. Also this package of evil spells contains conjure unethical food and water, if that's your jam.

Do you have an idea for a food-based spell you'd like to see? I could maybe take a crack at it.

My personal favourite mythical monster

Oof, it's hard to pick favourites when there are so many great monsters in the world's various mythologies. Still, there are, at the time of writing, over 500 stat blocks on this blog, of which at least 50 are based directly on real-world mythology. Surely I won't have ignored my favourite monsters amongst all of that!

I have a special fondness for the very first monster I posted - the chupacabra - even though as a mechanical stat block it's not very interesting. This is because I did a school project on it when I was 14, involving an obsessive degree of research in an era before the internet was readily accessible. It'll always be a personal favourite.

Generally, I'm drawn to fey creatures more than other types of monsters, especially forest faeries; pixies and dryads. This may or may not have something to do with several formative childhood experiences. Of course, those two are already in the monster manual, but I've done a couple of variants: pixie NPCs, cursed shadow pixies, powerful elder dryads and mighty redwood dryads.

Two more honourable mentions: firstly I've always seen modern/urban myths as a valid mythology, and if you've ever watched snowboarding competitions, you'll have seen plenty of riders wiping out for seemingly no reason. Clearly, it's because they were bitten by a snow snake! I'm just in love with that as a concept. It has such a sense of left-field whimsy.

The other is the lham dearg, a terrifying Scottish fey that will challenge you to a deadly duel if you meet it on the road. The stat block is a bit complicated; it took most of a weekend to get it all ironed out; but I think it's a good piece of work. Definitely an underappreciated mythological creature.

So, chat, what are all of your favourite monsters?

I did it a bit for Precure but now I’m obsessed with KPDH so: Incorrect Quotes time! Polytrix Flavor (or mainly just Huntrix in general). Most of these are from perchance.org:

Demon: Wow, you people have issues.

Rumi: Of course I have issues! That’s my freaking father!

Gwi-Ma:

Zoey: Everyone has their Demons.

Mira, grabbing Rumi: This one’s ours.

Rumi: If my demon side ever possessed me, I’d just be like: “okay! Take it from here, good luck!”

Rumi: Self-care is suppressing all your trauma until it comes back and hits you in the face with the force of 7 very large trucks.

Zoey: So you like cats?

Rumi: Yeah.

Zoey: *tries to impress them by slowly pushing a glass off the table*

Mira: You are the love of my life and I would do anything within reason to make you happy.

Zoey: I would be happy if you ate, stayed hydrated and got a reasonable amount of sleep.

Mira: I said within reason, Zoey. How about I murder that guy?

Zoey: So murder is in reason but proper self care isn't?

Mira: Well, duh. What kind of question is that?

Mira: Hoodie pockets are so great. I can fit like three sandwiches and a grenade in there and my hands are still warm.

Zoey: How many children do you have?

Bobby: Biologically, legally, or emotionally? Because there is a difference.

Rumi: My expectations are low, but they can always go lower.

(In the penthouse, hanging out)

Zoey: Look at the buns on that guy!

Rumi: *lying on the floor, covered in hamburger buns*

Mira: This is the comedy police! The joke's too funny!

Zoey: I'm not going back to jail!

Zoey: *looks at Rumi*

Zoey: Baby boy. Baby.

Zoey: *looks at Jinu*

Zoey: Evil.

Rumi: Thought I was meowing back at my cat for the past hour, but it was just me and Zoey meowing at each other from different rooms in the house.

Zoey: I’m gonna mix a can of Red Bull with seventeen shots of espresso in a fishbowl and then chug it while Kids by MGMT plays in the background so I can perceive twenty-three spatial dimensions and fight my own soul.

Bobby: Zoey, can I speak to you for a minute? In private.

Zoey: Ooh, someone's in trouble. It's me. I don't know why I did that.

Rumi: Does anyone know how to relax? Asking for a friend.

Mira: What makes a bigger memory than a passionate kiss?

Mira: A stab wound.

Mira: Do you support gay rights?

Rumi: I’m literally gay.

Zoey: They’re avoiding the question!

Rumi: Isn't it weird that people kill mosquitoes just because they're annoying?

Zoey: If people did that to each other, Mira would've killed me years ago.

Bobby: *sees a group doing something stupid*

Bobby: What a bunch of idiots.

Bobby: *realizes it's Huntrix*

Bobby: Wait, those are MY idiots!

Huntrix: Slash gamemode creative.

Their Fans: Dude, this isn't Min-

Huntrix: *starts levitating*

Celine: This is a very powerful artifact. You’d be messing with some forces we don’t fully understand.

Mira: That sounds like a dare to me.

Rumi: Mira.

Fan: I want to grow up and be like Rumi!

Rumi: That is called Acquiring Depression.

Rumi: Is there anyone here who’s actually straight?

Bobby: *raises hand*

Zoey: *puts their hand down*

Zoey: *slams books down in front of Mira*

Zoey: Boil up some Mountain Dew. It’s gonna be a long night.

Mira: You could of said literally anything else.

Zoey: Cauldron boil and cauldron bubble, Baja Blast to fuel my trouble.

Mira: I’m going to just stop challenging you when you say random crap. I won’t win. I realize this now.
