the ruleset for when burgers appear on the menu is stingy but includes an element of serendipity to avoid reducing the joy of anticipation to mere rote

The Cinderella Complex: Children Can Do Chores
Cinderella, Cinderella
As a child growing up in the 80s, I loved Cinderella with her blonde hair, sunny disposition, and animal friends. The fact that I related her step-mother to my own mother is probably not terribly shocking.
In my early teens my sister moved in with her children, and I went from being an ‘only child’ in the home, to watching squawking babies and cleaning up their messy…

I love how they have this little chore chart- I can imagine all of them having a favorite chore to do and getting kind of sad when the wheel doesn't pick them to do it. But I'm kind of confused over what Inkling's chore is? Is it gardening?
From what I can tell, the jobs are:
Gub cleaning
Oiling the joints of the Octopod
Watering the garden pod
Hammering out dents
Mopping
Washing dishes (on that note I headcannon that Shellington probably uses gloves to avoid touching all that wet food)
Tightening bolts? Or just general repairs

I'm not sure how many people pay attention to this, but Astarions tent area (inside and out) is not just blood splattered and mildly disorganized:
1) Dirty rags, blood and wine spills, rugs and pillows a bit haphazard, no proper bedding inside, empty blood bank jars everywhere, sleeps on a wooden palette rather than a bed roll
But the actual tent (yes I zoomed in and stared heavily at it shdjghfhdj)
It dirty.
It's SPLATTERED with dried mud and dirt, and I also noticed in comparison to his companions his tent is fairly small? And also kinda limp like he didn't wanna bother putting it up.
I bet this man hates putting together and tearing down camp SO MUCH that he just does the bare minimum and then trashes the place anyway. He's not going to voluntarily do laundry, he's not gonna clean the canvas, he's just here to put his shit together in some barely passable way.
And sure the exterior shows how he tries to decorate it in a way that's presentable, but he's decorating with dirty shit he won't scrub 😂
People, myself included to some degree, have chatted about why he is messy trauma wise but honestly I'm coming to the realization that he probably was, even in life, surrounded by servants to some degree.
He gives the air of being from money
I bet this little fool has never in his life had to wash his own clothes or clean a room. Even as a slave, when he was in Cazadors mansion he got trotted between the bunks where he only had minimal space to rest, (and a bunch of siblings he could probably manipulate into washing his socks for him if the servants didn't do it automatically ) and the Boudoir where he was to Look Pretty and Bend Over as requested
He never scrubbed floors in his life
Man's has never once cleaned a toilet
Astarion is living evidence that you can be severely neglected and abused while ALSO being 'spoiled' (in the sense that he never got to develop life skills bc the servants did it for him)
This really ties in with his personality and I think it's a nice touch. Cause what does he focus on keeping clean? HIM. He can do his hair, body washed, clothing IMPECCABLE. Man kept a shirt together for over a century without a single stain on it. But his SPACE ? His THINGS? neglected to the extreme
But yeah anyway, his tent is DIRTY and I'm pretty sure was originally a much more vibrant color too. Zoom in next time you get to camp you'll see what I mean

The trash raccoon is romanceable in three minutes, but she needs enrichment.
She'll also tell you that of course she can go casual, absolutely yes, her mentality is incredibly open. Secretly, she'll start thinking you're the love of her life and you'll stay together forever and get old together after the first kiss.

Fun little way to cool off between Comp prompt entries UwU
Plus I haven't drawn my gal in a hot second.
"Evil" is a strong word to associate with Aven, but she will do anything to protect and care for her kids! Ma'am is mostly here to make sure they eat full meals and take care of themselves between their silly little mischievous shenanigans. She'll probably keep an eye on the rest of the staff too, everyone could use an extra mom every now and then.
@urplepurplegurgleturgle, so does she get the job boss?

Ok I did the laundry and cleaned the toilet. Now I need to get rid of some potatoes (cook and eat them).

I've been thinking about my ocs like a tv show lately to give me a direction to develop them in, and I've been getting unreasonably excited about all the aspects of design I could do...someone tell me why I spent like three hours last night daydreaming about my oc's chore chart that could show up in frame for one second 😭
