#Espresso's answers

[cookietums]

love the idea of shadow milk being a bit of a hypocrite, making fun of someone else when their belly growls, but if someone did the same to him, he’d be super annoyed and flustered. i’m picturing him teasing someone else for their hungry belly, only for his stomach to chime in with an even louder growl, because it turns out he’s even hungrier than the other person c:<

HE IS A HUGE HYPOCRITE AND THAT WOULD SO HAPPEN OH MY GOD YES-

...

*Ahem*

I agree! Do you believe he despises those teasing belly rubs?

Hiiii just wonder if you’ll have any more soldier boy fics with readers instead of oc? Or just any works for the future with him ? :)

Hi there, anon!

I'm sure I will in the future, but as of right now I'm working on some things in SPN world, like Part 1 of Dream With Me (Dean Winchester x Reader), which just posted today!

And also working on a one-shot for the Take Me Home-verse (Beau Arlen x Reader).

In the meantime, here's my Soldier Boy Masterlist! Hope you enjoy.~

need. more. energy

need. more. awake

does the institute have any resources on anything that could help with this? the caffeine isn’t working and I feel like I’m turning into a wet cat like someone and I need to be saved from that.

First of all, I’m very sorry to hear you’re struggling. Insomnia is a serious issue for many and I urgently advise you to seek medical help. If you truly believe we can help you though, please come and have a rummage around Artefact Storage for the haunted espresso machine. You are welcome to take it off our hands.

Helooooo, can I have espressoline fankid

All right, this is Opera Madeleine Cookie

Fun fact, technically this isn’t the only or first person to request Espresso/Madeleine, as someone else commented a request on the original post I made asking for requests. I believe the name was @cerulaenfunkz. It’s actually listed as my third request, but I guess I just never got around to it. I was originally trying to make it, but I was having so much difficulty figuring out what to do that I just went on to other ones, and I guess it just went to the back of my head. So yeah, of all the fankids, this is probably the longest time coming

Anyways, so Opera Madeleine is named after opera cake, because it’s a cake with coffee in it, but I changed the “cake” to “madeleine” since she’s part of House Madeleine, similar to Choco Madeleine’s name. Also I just think it sounds better

The original name I gave her way back when was Coffee Cake, but I didn’t like that and when I eventually discovered opera cake, I changed it

Opera cake:

I’ve already made my design struggles with her known, basically in that, I had the hair, hairpieces and gloves down, and I like those bits, but wasn’t sure what to do with the rest of her. And to be honest, I like the scarf and boots, but I kind of flubbed with the coat. I thought she’d look cool with a coat, but I also wanted to show off the boots, so I made it high up, and I don’t think it worked all that well. Not to mention I don’t really know what her upper half looks like, as you can see with the admittedly pretty bad sketch

You know what, I may just go back and edit her later to make her coat look better, it’s just bugging me

Edit: I did do that

Originally I gave her blue eyes like Madeleine, but I changed it to pink so she’d look closer to Espresso. Also because I wanted more brown/warm tones, but didn’t want to give up her blue outfit color scheme

All in all, I liked most of drawing her, but I flubbed the last bit and it looks kind of eh. I just didn’t know what to do for it, but I didn’t want to keep her in development hell for eternity and I wanted to do her hair, so I just went with something

Anyways, let’s get on to her

So Opera Madeleine is the heir to House Madeleine, however she is not a Paladin like her father Madeleine and instead chooses to use coffee magic like Espresso. However she still follows Madeleine in that she’s a warrior, she just prefers to use magic instead of a weapon. Granted I’m sure Madeleine still taught her to wield one just in case. And also she’s good at hand to hand combat

Chances are she went to school in Parfaedia, given they have a whole school for magic and from what I can gather, Espresso once went there himself

Unlike Madeleine she’s more of a no nonsense kind of person who’s more focused on her duties as a warrior. Not saying Madeleine doesn’t care about being a warrior, she’s just not as…prideful as him, not caring much about appearance. However one thing she refuses to publicly admit is that she takes great pride in her hair and goes through great lengths to keep it as pristine as possible. But that is the only thing

She’s a hard worker, but not as much of a workaholic as Espresso, as she doesn’t have nearly as much coffee in her dough to maintain that lifestyle. Also Madeleine made sure that she didn’t follow in his footsteps

I feel like I’ve talked a lot about Madeleine but little about Espresso. I imagine the two talk about coffee magic and such, but due to her differing interests in careers, she probably spends more time around Madeleine

I imagine when she was younger, Madeleine just showered her with adoration and tried to be a loving father. But if you asked her which of her parents was the coolest, she would say Espresso, much to Madeleine’s dismay (more like he gets moody that he’s not the favorite more than anything). She’d probably learn combat with Madeleine, but would also just wander off to find Espresso and just watch him do his work for hours on end, quietly sitting in his lab

Hmm, I think that’s all I have to say on her. I wasn’t expecting to write that much to be honest. But yeah, hope you like her

Edit: so as said earlier, she’s been edited, and this is the original if you’re curious

[cookietums]

hey zep! love your work and i wanted to ask: in the midnight espresso verse, do you think dean would try to learn spanish for the reader? i know he learned a little bit in the beginning but i always wondered if he would make the effort to actually learn readers language. thank you 💗

Hey there, lovely! Thank you so much!! 🥰

And thank you for asking about the Midnight Espresso-verse!! ☕

(For those who don't know, it's a collection of stories that are Dean Winchester x Plus-size Latina!Reader.)

As for your question, I've never actually thought about Dean trying to learn Spanish for her before! But, I have a headcanon that Dean would pick up bits and pieces of Spanish the longer they're together. Like certain phrases that she lobbies at him most often, or things he often hears her say, like:

"Mira ver." -- "Watch it." (Cuban slang; a warning and a threat)

"Ya!" -- "Enough!"

"Quieres un cafecito?" -- "Want some coffee?" (Implied a Cuban coffee)

And other little catchphrases and scraps of conversation when she talks to her extended family on the phone lol.

Although I haven't written this into the series (yet), in my head there are certainly things he'd try to get her to call him, but she couldn't in good conscience take it seriously, like Papi Chulo. 🤣 (Instead, she'd probably tease him with, Mi tigre. 🐯)

By the time we get to Dream With Me and In Bad Weather, he understands it fully when she curses up a storm, stringing words together that he has to raise his brows and go, "Damn, that's creative" lol.

But he also understands it when she tells him that she loves him in Spanish. That, he learns early on.

And maybe he actually does pay for that Duolingo subscription, after she teases him in the first Midnight Espresso story. So that in those rare times when he has some time alone to himself, he can learn some new things and surprise her with a few phrases now and then. (Often in the bedroom. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥)

I absolutely loved this question, thank you!! 😘💕

[espressotimeau]

(same anon) that’s okay! Don’t worry. I was curious, that’s all. I wondered if it was still active. Thank you for the confirmation!
