[soleilonthesun]

Has anyone told you that your grammatically unusual English is quite adorable. 😭

You remind me of how Starfire from Teen Titans talks. (Wait maybe you are actually her too personality wise-)

HDJWKWK, MY ENGLISH IS FROM B1-B2, BUT ALREADY REACHING B2.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH <333

💖✨️😭😭😭😭😭

[mqonlighting]

hear me out: civilian deadpool au except he just keeps getting arrested for the STRANGEST THINGS (illegal ownership of a chicken? someone just dumped an egg on his street? it hatches when he’s trying to cook it for breakfast? he RAISED IT?) and matt murdock is his exhausted lawyer who has to keep telling him to shut up in the interrogation room.

does he ever actually go to jail? no, maybe probation, maybe a fine. but arrested? half sure every cop in the city is just sick of hearing about his life. every juror thinks he’s just morbidly unlucky and a tiny bit moronic.

and he is.

detective: (sigh) so you have a chicken?

wade: oh, yeah, yolko ono! she’s my pride and joy, i had a mug and a mousepad printed- *pulling out wallet pictures*

matt: wade. no.

wade: i could bring her over if you want-

matt: WADE.

one time matt has to spring wade for grand theft auto of the nice old lady he lives next doors to. the automobile he supposedly stole? a select elevated motorized wheelchair.

wade: she LENT me the chair.

detective: and how’d she do that?

wade: i broke into her backyard because i heard a thump and i thought she fell over.

matt: jesus—

wade: so she didn’t fall over. apparently it was a twig that fell on an ice chest. but she was there, and she was yelling ‘jazzy! jazzy!’ and i was wondering why she was telling me to grab her jazzy, but i wasn’t about to turn down a free jazzy. so i walk over to it, i turn it on, i hop on, i say thank you to the kind old lady, and i wheel it out of there.

matt: goddamn it, wade—

detective: you stole a permobil.

wade: pardon?

detective: the wheelchair was a permobil.

wade: she said it was a jazzy!

detective: …

detective: jazzy is her HUSBAND.

wade: …

detective: …

matt: i give up.

and the nail in everyone’s coffin? when the precinct brings in wade’s fucking kidnap victim.

peter: kidnap? me?

detective: were you or were you not kidnapped by wade wilson and driven to the middle of nowhere?

peter: listen, man, farthest wade ever drove me was to a gamestop in manhattan from queens. i don’t drive. and then i ask if we can hit a seven eleven, since i really wanted a bag of chips. but then i fall asleep in the passenger seat on the way there. and when i wake up, i’m home - he didn’t buy me the bag of chips, though.

detective: … and when state troopers spotted his car in philadelphia? with someone passed out inside?

peter: we were in philly? and he didn’t wake me up?

detective: do you seriously mean to tell me you were completely passed out for a two hour and ten minute drive?

peter: i’m a college student with rent due in a month and a new paper due every time i breathe. and wade is an idiot who doesn’t know left from right, boots up waze, says his goodbyes to the universe, and starts driving. i think there’s your case.

detective: …

detective: damn it.

What's going on with Yakko that he felt the need to make and carry around an egg daughter?

This is a tough one. I saw a theory by someone else, don’t remember who, that he made it because he misses when his sibs were little and he had to care for them. That doesn’t make sense to me, though, because they’ve always been the same age.

I could see a modified version of that theory working, however. Even if they don’t physically age, they still accumulate life experience. Maybe they are less dependent on him now than they used to be. It does seem like they’re branching out more individually in the reboot, while before they followed him around like magnets. Maybe the egg is his response to that.

A sadder theory, perhaps- in season 2 of the reboot, Wakko said that they can’t have children because they’re hybrids. Maybe Yakko wants to have kids, but knows that he can’t because he never ages and couldn’t produce one anyway. He would adopt, if he didn’t already have two small siblings to look after, and if anyone would let him adopt a human child, but they wouldn't. So he created a fake surrogate daughter. (Side note- I think it’s cute that it’s a daughter and not Yakko Jr. or something.)

But, really, I think the more boring and lighthearted answer is likelier to be true. He just felt like doing it for fun. Maybe it was a sarcastic rib on his siblings- “Look at how well behaved my precious and well-adjusted daughter Yolko is. Why can’t you two be like that?” Or maybe he created it specifically for the exact situation he used it in, as a gag if anyone ever asked him about parenthood, so he could deflect and avoid having to verbally admit how he acts as a father figure to his sibs.

One last dark horse possibility- my mom told me about how she had to take home an egg and care for it as a baby for a school assignment. I got a robotic baby when it came time for me to do that, but that’s beside the point. Maybe the egg is simply an assignment from “school”, if the Warners go to a real school. Maybe it was assigned to him by one of his siblings in that fake school they hold with each other.

So, yeah. I personally don’t think the egg is that deep. It could be, but it would be on a very deep subconscious level for Yakko, he might not even realize the real reason he did it.

Thanks for another intriguing ask, if you’re the same anon as before. (And also if you aren’t.) If anyone has anything to add, or some other topic to ask about, don't hesitate to share!

[nastya-sokolova-2002]

Yakko: Yolko! Stop using my mallet to throw oranges at your mom!

(On the front porch, water and bubbled soap begin seeping out from under the front door)

Yakko: What the...? Yolko! When I told you to clean your room, I didn't mean to put everything in the washing machine!

(Yakko climbs up the stairs)

Yakko: Oh, not a moment's peace around here. Oh, where is she now?

(Yakko then opens the bathroom door, where he then finds bath bomb foam in the bathtub, overflowing onto the floor)

Yakko: Yolko! Why is the bathtub full of bath bomb foam?!

Cora: She must have been trying to make some kind of amazing homemade jacuzzi. I think it's important to encourage the creativity of a child because...

Yakko: It was you, wasn't it?

Cora: Yes

Yakko: (sees sand and snow everywhere) Yolko! How did you manage to bring both sand and snow into the house? I'm not even going to ask about that (walks into Yolko's room) Yolko! Yolko? Oh, my gosh! Cora, get the hunting net, she got out again!

Baby Yolko: I'm here

(Yakko looks down to find a baby Yolko standing there)

Yakko: (Sighs with relief) You're lucky you're so cute! Otherwise I'd have sold you to the freak show by now (picks Yolko up)

Baby Yolko: What's a freak show?

Yakko: It's like our family, but people pay to see it.

079:Your daughter is really very sweet and such a fidget. I understand how hard it is for you two to be a parents too.

[tophthedaydreamer]

Are you willing to do more stuff with Yolko Warner? Like art or even headcanons?

uhmmm idk abt art bc my tablet's kinda wack but I can share headcanons!!!

- yolko was made from yakko's ink! an animator drew her using it, so yolko is technically yakko's biological daughter.

- yolko was made to add interest to the animaniacs reboot, since there aren't that many side characters now. she has her own segment where she cooks food and repeatedly talks about eggs.

- her special interest is eggs. she wrote a song called "yolko's egg", which is an egg-themed parody of "yakko's world".

- yakko had no idea his ink was used to make yolko, so at first he was pretty freaked out about it. but he grew to love yolko, and treats her like a daughter now.

- wakko and dot are the chaotic uncle and aunt. they spoil yolko a lot, and are absolutely bad influences on her. she learned swears thanks to dot.

- yolko loves yakko's educational songs. she likes singing along!

- yolko is 5 years old! a little babie

thanks for the ask!

11, 26, 39, 46? For the Writer's Ask game :)

11.  Books and/or authors who influenced you the most

Hmmmmmmmmm.

I would say Stephen King tops the list, particularly when it came to realising that I could, and did, appreciate ‘popular fiction’. As an English major who’s read more than the bare minimum of the ‘classics’, it’s easy to get hung up in that literary snobbery that tells you what is and isn’t valuable ‘literature’ - but I love genre fiction! I love things that are just FUN to read! Is King’s writing amazing? That’s probably a debatable point. But have I enjoyed the hell out of a lot of his books, including the weird genre-mixing meta disasterpiece Dark Tower series? Absolutely yes.

The other big one has to be Tamora Pierce - as a girl who wanted so badly to have characters to relate to, Pierce’s protagonists were a huge inspiration. She gave us so many different adventures for girls to go on and I’ll always be grateful for that.

26.  Favourite writing program 

I have used (and enjoyed) Scrivener, but the lack of cross-platform support to android platforms made it a no-go for me when I was writing from both PC and my tablet. These days I use Evernote which, aside from the TRULY egregious lack of a Dark Mode, works perfectly for my purposes.

39.  Weirdest character concept you’ve ever had

Outside of having some fun with D&D characters, I think most of mine have been pretty standard, although “Nie Huaisang is a street artist and gallery owner who brings his favourite chicken, Yolko Ono, to work on opening nights” probably takes the cake for perhaps being the biggest non-sequitur.

46.  Do you reread your own stories?

Sometimes! Usually it’s because I’m checking back on something I forgot and then I get caught up in it and read a chapter or two. Or three. Or my whole lunch break.

I tend to need a fair bit of distance between me and stuff I wrote before I can really enjoy reading it, though - most of my fics from this year feel too ‘new’ to go back to just yet, but if I look back at (non-fanfic) WIPs past I do enjoy them enough to be frustrated that I didn’t write more at the time!

Thanks for the ask, Nate! <3

3 Food Carts You Must Eat in Portland

  If it wasn’t for the Portland, OR food cart scene, we wouldn’t be where we are today. The interesting people sharing a piece of themselves through their food in tiny metal enclosures is what inspired us to tell their stories on this blog and what eventually led us to write a book about food trucks across the country. I firmly believe there still is no more authentic way to eat than at a food truck where there’s nothing but you, the chef, and the food. No white tablecloths, no waving down servers, just pure taste.

As tourists keep flocking to Portland, I always get asked what are the can’t miss places to eat. Naturally we always try and steer people towards the food cart scene. As we keep reading about more and more food cart pods closing down, there’s no better time than now to show your support for one of the most unique eating experiences in the world.

    Speaking of Oregon, the classic kettle-cooked chips of Kettle Brand were founded in the back of a van in this beautiful state back in 1982. In celebration of its 35th Birthday, Kettle Brand is thanking fans by giving away $35K worth of prizes in 35 days. Enter now for a chance to win an awesome Portland food exploration trip, including roundtrip airfare, tickets to Feast Portland, accommodations at the Jupiter Hotel, Le Creuset products and more by visiting KettleBrand.com/Birthday. Sweepstakes ends on Nov. 5th. If you’re that lucky winner, here are the 3 Food Carts You Must Eat in Portland:

    1. Nong's Khao Man Gai

What is there that hasn’t already been said about Nong Poonsukwattana and her famous cart. Over the years, Nong’s Khao Man Gai has become synonymous with Portland’s food cart scene. If anything, it’s become a prototype for what you can do from a food cart. A second location, a brick and mortar, a bottled sauce in stores... Nong’s success is well documented and well deserved. It’s truly amazing that all of this stemmed from one simple Thai chicken and rice dish, Khao Man Gai.

What to get: The Khao Man Gai of course! I have an obsession with chicken and rice so much so that I traveled all the way to Singapore to eat it. This is one of the best that I’ve had around the world. I highly HIGHLY recommend you add the liver and fried chicken skin as well.

  Hit them up at their original food cart in Downtown’s famous 10th and Alder pod (that sadly one day soon will be no more).

SW 10th & Alder St.

    2. Caspian Kabob

While you’re at Nong’s, save some room and stop next door to Victor Darchini’s Caspian Kabob. His food cart epitomizes one of the aspects that I love about the food truck scene in America. When someone is ultra passionate about their culture’s food and notices that a city doesn’t represent it well, food carts give that person an opportunity to share that love. That’s what Caspian Kabob is to Portland with its Persian food. I was lucky to grow up in Los Angeles in Little Persia where kubideh was as common as tacos. Now Portlanders can get that same taste that I remember so vividly as a kid.

What to get: The Kubideh. Ground lamb and beef grilled to juicy perfection. This is the dish that will get you coming back again and again.

  SW 10th & Alder St.

    3. Fried Egg I'm in Love

You can’t really leave PDX without partaking in their infamous brunch culture. Why not get that experience plus the food cart experience all rolled up into one. Fried Egg I’m in Love is a classic representation of a Portland food cart filled with passion and quirk. Jace Krause and Ryan Lynch serve up homemade sauces, handmade sausage patties, and a whole lotta yolk in mouthwatering breakfast sandwiches with names like “Egg Zeppelin” and “Smells Like Protein Spirit.” It’s a can’t miss stop on your next trip!

What to get: Our consistent go-to is the Yolko Ono. I can never say no to egg, sausage, and cheese!

29: Do you believe in reincarnation?30: Favorite movie?31: Do you get scared easily?32: How many pets have you own in your lifetime?34: What is a color that calms you?35: Where would you like to travel and/or live?36: Where were you born?37: What is your eye color?38: Introvert or extrovert? Hope you are having a wonderful summer!!!!:))))

Thank you for asking, lovely! The weather's been on-and-off summery but it's been great so far :) hope your summer is good too29: I'm not sure where I stand on reincarnation, or any afterlife for that matter. I want to believe there's something more but I just don't know30: ooh this is such a tough decision as I'm a big movie nerd! One of my favourites, though, has to be Brave - I love Scotland, the soundtrack is amazing and the story is great too31: not really, the only time I really get scared is if I'm home alone and get a bit paranoid32: I've had 4 cats (Flip, Zip, Sooty and we still have Fluffy), 3 hamsters (Toffee, Latte and Reepicheep) and 11 hens (Henrietta, Shelly, Yolko, Nuggets, and our current ones Tikka, Masala, Madras, Shelley, Washington, Bowie and Cohen)34: the best way I can think to do this is give you the hexadecimal code if you want to look it up. It's approximately #109AA8 which is a really nice rich turquoise. (As an aside my favourite hexadecimal is #024601 which is more or less the colour of movie!Valjean's jacket like wow)35: I'd love to do a road trip round Scotland some day! As for living, I'd definitely be up for Germany or France (I'm studying both languages next year)36: I was born in Blackpool37: my eye colour is kind of weird actually, they have a darker blue outline and then the middle is a kind of light blue-green with gold/brown flecks38: I'm probably an introvert on the whole but I can be surprisingly extroverted in some situations

I’ve watched both sailor moon and winx club as a kid but I was much more of a winx fan than a sailor moon one.

Still am one, it never gets old for me :) ok but after Sirenix I couldn’t handle the writing anymore

What do you think of winx? Who was your fav? (If you watched it that is)

GDJSKSLS, I actually really liked Winx Club but, back then I was, what, 7 years old? and I saw Winx Club as an adult series — don't ask why, I don't even know why I thought that. Maybe it was because there were kisses and boyfriends dhjdkslsl??

That's why I decided to watch Sailor Moon, the whole series, and I actually liked it a lot. Let's go back to Winx Club, since I saw it a few years ago (ahem, pandemic) my favorite is Flora and Blossom.

I CAN'T CHOOSE DJSKKSLW

Winx is a good series, I liked it a lot, it was very bright and the songs were quite good jxksksl
