margarethe is not a big eater in public. any time she’s sharing a meal with somebody outside her immediate family, she defaults to taking small nibbles of things and will usually only finish about half her food (unless in a situation where it would be considered unforgivably rude to not eat everything on her plate--even margarethe doesn’t want to be poisoned by an annoyed host). she will drink more wine etc. than she will eat food because she prefers not to show any appetite due to it being soooooo unattractive for a woman to eat*.
*(that will be the internalized misogyny talking)
one major food love of hers is dairy and she is extremely scrupulous about not eating it much, if at all, in public because we are talking about a woman who could decimate a wheel of cheese and not get one bit of palate fatigue, and she doesn’t want people to know her like that. she drinks tea and coffee extremely milky (no sugar). she will butter a piece of bread or toast edge to edge, but, again, not in front of other people. and she likes a whole range of cheeses, from fresh, young ones to runny stinky ones to hard aged ones, although given that she currently lives in a farmhouse she is most likely day-to-day to eat a fresh farmer’s cheese.
the other major food love she has is anything pickled, smoked, or brined/salted. it’s an interesting opposite pole to her love of creamy, milky, mild flavors and has something, i’m sure, to do with the same impulse that lets her love very strong cheeses. she likes pickled and smoked herring, any pickled vegetable that exists on earth, would probably eat pickled pig’s feet if nobody was looking at her. something like an anchovy she would eat right out of the tin, again, if nobody was looking at her.
she is not what i’d call an adventurous eater in the sense that she doesn’t go looking for new things to try, but she will try almost any food at least once unless it’s like, deeply visually disgusting. she is not really much of a cook, as she’s much too impatient, but when she is buying ingredients or e.g. at a cheese shop, she is extremely particular and fussy about quality and will interrogate people about their goods, as well as outright berate anyone who tries to sell her something subpar. in any verse or timeline where she has servants who cook for her, she is prone to coming into the kitchen and sticking her face in whatever’s going on--not that she knows shit from fuck when it comes to the actual cooking process.

text transcription:
Many springs ago, I perceived a sea of flowers upon a lake. I thought to myself that those fleeting colors held indescribable beauty.
The next time I perceived those colors was many years later, when the medic’s tent had blinded me to all but red. The radiance of that shining star was lost on my eyes.
Now, my eyes no longer perceive the subtleties in the colors around me.
But I am content.
For I can now see the most brilliant colors in my universe.
anyways yeah why did they fucking do that to jiaoqiu bro
the planning for this experimentalish comic is under keep reading

"just looking at you hurts. i'll order up some extra pain meds." "i love you" and that insane half-dismissive gesture wilson does. this happens after house, famously a staunch atheist, electrocutes himself in the hope of a spiritual experience. we never find out what happened, but we know something did, something important, something he wanted to tell the guy who insisted that the space between death was the best feeling ever, and then house says he loves wilson. wilson thinks house is delirious from the morphine, but nothing house says ever sounds that genuine. i love you because i just died and you were standing over my bed and i knew you would be and i love you because you aren't angry at me for almost killing myself again and i love you because you care about me like no one else and i love you because maybe i need to say it in case i don't make it the next time. because there's no sun in the hospital so sunshine on your face won't say it for me. because every inch of my body aches so i can't move to show you. because we've been fooling around with this feeling but i'm never uninhibited enough to say the truth and i want to say it so i'm going to. and maybe we never mention it again. but maybe house entertained a small, tiny possibility that it could change everything.

No but like every time I think about Splinter and what he had to go through just to keep the boys alive, my heart hurts for him so badly. Is he perfect? No not at all, but none of them are and by god does he love his sons.
The fact that all of them are alive, and grew to thrive despite the circumstances surrounding them is a testament of how much Splinter loves his boys. He raised four babies following the most traumatic time of his life, all alone with nothing but the sewers to house them (to hide them.) I feel like he’s not given the credit he deserves for all he’s done.
And I get that it’s easy to hold up his flaws and faults when it comes to parenting, I myself like looking into them because flawed characters are super interesting and said flaws make them more realistic and engaging, but he tries, and again, so many others would have given up on the boys or failed along the way but Splinter didn’t.
He’s their father, for all his faults he did his damndest to make sure they survived.

I wholly believe Luis is an incredibly competent gunman bc his grandfather took him hunting, and Leon ofc is highly trained
However I think that sometimes the man-made horrors can be a Bit Much and the best solution may just be to pick up ur bf and haul ass outta there
