#bringing a dish for dinner

[jepergola]

New story today: "You Had One Dish to Bring on Thanksgiving"

[notbecauseofvictories]

there is a mourning dove and a brown-headed cowbird circling each other at my bird feeder this morning and I have created an elaborate backstory that ends with them falling in love despite the enmity of their families and also how she's quite a bit larger than him, all before my morning coffee.

i dreamt that i invited my favourite tumblr mutuals over for dinner and when everyone showed up they were like "why didn't you tell us jeff is going to be here?????" because he was just there. helping me set the table.

🍙 + her step dad's corn stew.

feed the raccoonㅤㅤ∘ ˚ ( accepting )

ㅤbyan sits there with a spoon in hand for a long moment, just staring down at the bowl of stew with a heavy skepticism in their brow. it looks... iffy. it's certainly not the most questionable thing they've ever had set in front of them, and even farther from the most questionable thing they've actually eaten, but... there are a lot of vegetables in there. admittedly, corn is one they find a little more tolerable, but still... they're hesitant.

without looking up, feeling all too certain that angela is watching them closely, they finally poke the spoon into the dish, swirling it around a bit before raising some of it to their face. a sniff is taken; it... actually doesn't smell too bad. with a bit of internal coaxing, they take the bite off the spoon and pause for a moment to process the flavour, once-furrowed eyebrows now raising as they find themself quite surprised by the result.

ㅤㅤ" hey, that's pretty good... "ㅤanother spoonful taken and popped into their mouth, byan nods their approval, even going so far as to hum a quiet note of enjoyment.ㅤ" damn... i never woulda guessed just by lookin' at it! —is'ere any more? like, can i get another bowl after this, or should i just savour what i got? "

Hi yes hello I found your blog(s) through someone else's reblog and hhhhhh yes your headcanons? Immaculate. Characterization? Grand. I dont have time for long fic reading these days but I do Browse and Skim and the way you write Katsuki is yes good I'm an enjoyed and a fan. Also have a pleasant anniversary! ~ trashy

oh how fun !! how you twisted and turned right into our lil space here !! and — you know what, i often feel really bad that i can't contribute larger pieces of writing, so to hear that shorter things might be easier to enjoy makes me feel better 🥺 thank you so much for popping in to say so, and for reading whatever nonsense i manage to pull from this brain of mine LOL

still transcribing Daniel Brown's inventory, im now going back to words i marked as Illegible and am just googling potential letter combinations to see if some of these are just words i don't know. so far thats solved a lot of the confusion in the blacksmithing tools inventory

figured out also that a number like 4/ means 4 shillings, and /3 means 3 pence, and 2••1••0 means 2 pounds 1 shilling 0 pence. for a while I was confused about it bc the gentleman writing out the inventory (i think there's two of them, because the record of debts to be repaid and some other purely monetary lists are in a slightly different hand) sometimes includes £ and sometimes just writes the number w no £ but thats just bc he must have assumed I'd get the idea and gave up writing it

he also writes Do w a dot under the o for "ditto" so much.

but my main takeaway so far is that Daniel Brown owned a lot of chairs and also every room of his house was OVERFLOWING w scythes

[liebelesbe]

what's bad about being alone in the house is that I have to do all of the chores :(

boynextdoor! choso who you've had a mini crush on ever since you saw him move in with his two brothers yuuji and sukuna. yuuji is the 5-year-old who is just the sweetest ray of sunshine, and sukuna (kuna) is the grumpy undergrad whose name you only know because of yuuji's incessant need for 'uppies'. you don't know much about choso, though, except that he's the eldest, is always working to pay for the bills/rent, and is scarcely home.

boynextdoor! choso, who invites you over for dinner a couple of days after moving in to get to know you a little better and introduce him and his family. you notice the lack of parents, but you don’t say anything or bring it to attention, seeing first-hand how hard choso works as you help him with all the dishes he cooked, and as sukuna sets the table. immediately, yuuji is smitten by you (and you, him) constantly trying to get your attention and talking to you about his new friend called gumi, your shared neighbour's son. choso watches you with yuuji in your arms while you're animatedly talking to his baby brother. the genuine interest you show in what yuuji says makes his heart pitter patter.

(sukuna is quiet throughout the whole affair, only speaking when spoken to and even then keeping it prompt, but he notices the way choso looks at you when you're not watching and vice versa. you’re kind, polite, and seemingly loving. you could be good for his older brother; he thinks to himself.)

boynextdoor! choso, who knocked on your door and asked if you wanted him to take the trash outside your door to the big bins since he's throwing out his own as well on the second week they moved in. your face heated up, and you swooned at his thoughtfulness as you shyly nodded, adding if it's not too much trouble for him. ever since then, he's assumed the role of taking out your trash, making sure to dispose of all the rubbish in the appropriate bins. does it make him a little late to work? yes. but the look on your face when he first asked was worth it.

boynextdoor! choso, who secretly tries to find excuses to see you more and more often in his busy schedule. he caught a glimpse of you through your window when first moving in, and he can't get enough of you ever since. whether it's bringing round some 'extra' cookies, he's baked for sukuna and yuuji or asking if you'd like to join them for dinner again. you've never really taken him up on that offer, though, worried about intruding, and he's almost on the verge of begging you, insisting you could never.

boynextdoor! choso who bakes the best cookies and muffins. you're half convinced he's lying to you, and he's just bought them from the local bakery. but you've seen the evidence through the window directly opposite yours, with little yuuji chasing both of his brothers round the kitchen with tiny fistfuls of flour. it's the first time you've seen choso smile so brightly, and something in your heart melts. even sukuna is tame and soft in the presence of his older brother, you've noted.

boynextdoor! choso whose brothers notice the badly hidden crush he has on the cutie next door. (yes, it's gotten so obvious that even little yuuji recognises the fact that big bro really wants to be your friend). he works so hard for them, and he deserves happiness, so it's in his best interest when both knuckleheads (mainly sukuna) put their heads together and start plotting and devising a plan to try and get you both together. they've seen the longing in both of your eyes and are sure it'll work.

boynextdoor! choso who knocks on your door at 4 something am in the morning whilst you're half asleep asking if you could babysit yuuji. his shift starts two hours, and he needs to leave in one, and sukuna is nowhere to be seen. he's so apologetic, and he promises to make it up to you however you want. you see the bags under his eyes and the heart-breaking frown on his face, and you immediately agree. yuuji's a delight anyway, and you'd be more than happy to.

(yuuji is gently woken up by his big bro before he leaves, who explains what's happened. he smiles a wide, sleepy smile and is excited to spend time with you, ready to set his and sukubros plan into motion. but first, he needs another nap and some cuddles.)

(choso is forever grateful for the angel of a brother yuuji is. it balances out sukuna for sure.)

boynextdoor! choso, who seems to talk about you a lot, and how beautiful you are. at least according to yuuji. yuuji says sometimes big bro sees you outside from the kitchen window whilst he's cooking and looks at you with a smile. a smile yuuji's only seen him give to two other people, but other big bro said that choso wants to crush you? he doesn't understand why because you're really lovely to yuuji and to everyone in general and you play with him and let him take pictures on your phone and secretly let him have his dessert with his meal. anyways if big bro tries to crush you, don't worry, you've got yuuji to protect you!

(his words make you blush at the implication as you realise what yuuji means.)

boynextdoor! choso who comes back from his long shift to you and yuuji napping on his couch. he’s exhausted, but the sight of you two together warms his heart, and he suddenly finds himself with bucketloads of energy. he gets started on making dinner for you all whilst you’re napping, and he hopes that you’ll stay this time. halfway through prepping, he hears a door open and a worse for wear sukuna stumbles in with a hard look on his face. quietly, sukuna joins his brother, muttering a small apology and washing his hands before taking over on chopping the onions. the two cook in silence, knowing that sukuna would open up when he’s ready.

boynextdoor! choso who gently nudges you awake when they’re finished cooking. at first, you think you’re dreaming with an angelic looking choso hovering above you. but then you cringe, feeling the drool on your cheek, wiping it away quickly, praying choso never noticed. (he most definitely did, but he found it incredibly endearing). he thanks you profusely and insists on you joining them for dinner. you’re glad you did because there’s just something so sweet about the three brothers interacting with each other. even sukuna lightly jokes around and teases little yuuji at the dinner table, trying to get him to eat all his veggies.

boynextdoor! choso, who keeps trying to pay you for looking after yuuji when you’re about to leave. you refuse knowing that his family needs it more, plus you’re more than happy to look after yuuji, he’s an angel. choso still insists, adamant on paying you and only shuts up when you tell choso to take you out on date instead, emboldened by everything yuuji’s told you. choso short circuits, blushing furiously. he nods, unable to form words, and stutters out an ‘i’ll text you’. you turn around and leave, and choso is still rooted to the spot, replaying your words in his head. it’s only when he’s giggling and kicking his legs in bed that he suddenly realises he doesn’t have your number. oh well, it’s just another excuse to see you then.

(sukuna witnesses the whole thing and is lowkey mad because he spent all that time planning and plotting for no reason. he hears choso’s giggles through the thin walls, though, and fights back a smile. to hell with his plans.)
