Eris taking care of you while you are on your period headcanons

Based off this post from @fieldofdaisiies

Can I just say Eris is absolutely using the fire that runs through his blood to warm his hands to act as basically a heating pad for you that he rests on your stomach and lower back.

And I just know he is massaging the flesh, rubbing at every aching point.

Eris is the kind of male who is so open about your cycle. He is never uncomfortable by it, and that is definitely something that is not standard in Autumn Court.

The males from Autumn avoid females who are on their cycle. They leave them for the time they are bleeding so the females can deal with it on their own.

But Eris is so caring, so attentive, so absorbed within you to leave you like that.

And he is doing everything in his power to make you feel even the slightest bit better

He is picking you up and carrying you to wherever you wanna go whether it is the library he built for you, or the lounge he built attached to his office so you can be near him while he works, or to the kitchen so he can hand feed you fresh fruits.

Eris is making sure that you don't need to lift a single fucking finger while you are on your period.

The times he does need to leave your side, he is settling you into bed, fluffing the pillows that rest behind you and lighting the hearth in your room with a fire that will stay lit until he returns.

His 13 hounds will crowd into the room and collectively circle the bed taking turns resting their head on your belly and surrounding you to keep you warm.

Eris is also the kind of male to get you whatever you are craving whenever you are craving it.

You wake him up in the middle of the night because you are craving spicy noodles??

The Autumn high lord is going to give you the softest kiss and wink before heading to the kitchen himself to make you the best spicy noodles that he will spoon feed you

Gourmet chocolates while he is in a meeting with the other high lords??

This male will straight up tell them, "My mate needs me, see ya" and will go to your favorite bakery that is 45 minutes away from your home just to get you your gourmet chocolates

He would basically drop anything for you, I cannot

And on top of that, he is bringing you blueberry pie, peacan pie, pumpkin pie, all the freaking pies

And he is bringing you fresh baked almond crossaints

Even though the bakery was out of those crossiants

He bribed the baker to make them for you

And then after he hand feeds you, he picks you up and settles you into the warm lavender scented bath and is washing your body and shampooing your hair because he knows you feel a little gross after a long day of sweating and bleeding

And he massages oils into every part of your body before settling you in his warmest sweaters and pajama pants because he knows that his scent soothes you like no other

Eris is gonna cuddle you close, encouraging you to rest your head against his chest as he rubs at your arm and back, kissing at your forehead and temple, reading you whatever book he is currently reading

The soft murmur of his voice, the rumbling in his chest, and the repeating lullaby of his heartbeat send you into a deep sleep

And when you wake, he has your favorite breakfast in bed prepared for you. On the tray is a little vial of tonic that will help with the pain that he helps you drink after you finish eating breakfast together.

He is constantly going out of his way to bring you warm spiced chai or coffee, and is ensuring that you are drinking enough water throughout the day.

A little bit of NSFW stuff below so 18+ only

And I mean..... when you tell him that you heard a rumor that orgasms can help with the pain....

well.....

He doesn't even hesitate.

He just pulls a dark towel out of thin air using his magic and lays it down on the bed, grinning wildly at you as he taps the bed, encouraging you forward

"I don't care about a mess sweets, I can clean that up later," and "Anything to help my beloved," and "Gonna take care of you love" and "I promise to take the pain away" and "This is about you my beloved, not me"

And he just makes love to you, soft and slow to make sure he isn't hurting you the slightest bit.

He is checking in on you, making sure his beloved is alright, making sure that you feel good, making sure you want to continue going

And he pulls orgasm after orgasm after orgasm after orgasm

Until your body is shaking with pleasure and you don't even remember the pain that you were in because the euphoria he is pushing you into is mind blowing

So... anyway....

Sorry this is short, but maybe I will do a Girl Dad!Eris version later.

Eris is what I want and need rn. If anyone finds Eris, please send him my way. Cuz I just know he would treat me right. Hope y'all enjoyed!

Been thinking about the holidays coming up, and realized the next major one is Thanksgiving. And it got me thinking: what would be a Hawthorne Thanksgiving? What would it look like?

I have a few ideas though.

Their Thanksgiving would last two days instead of one.

it would take almost a week for all the baking and cooking to be accomplished.

They would have over fifteen pies, each one a different flavor.

Their favorites are; Nash: Peacan, apple, and Peanut butter. Grayson: He's a classic. He likes Pumpkin, apple, and sometimes chocolate cream. Jameson: Lemon marang, cherry, and Rhubarb pie. He likes shaking it up. (Though he does like peanut butter occasionally) Xander: He loves them all!! If he had to choose, it would be blueberry, chocolate, and apple.

Three turkeys would need to be cooked, but they can eat up to four!

Their Thanksgiving would look like a traditional Thanksgiving with all the fixings, but there would be some other side dishes as well.

Nash likes Lasanya (probably spelled it wrong, sorry!) So they need that. Steak and sweet potato casserole is also included.

Since Thanksgiving is his favorite holiday, Grayson has to make sure everything is perfect. He checks with the cooks so many times, that his is driving them insane!

Xander helps makes some of the pies.

Apple cider is a high favorite, and five gallons are used up by the end of the day.

The day ends in stuffed tummies and good fellowship. They all sleep in till 12 P.M. the next day

Hope you liked this little ramble on. With Thanksgiving as my favorite holiday, I wanted to say a few things about the Hawthornes did for their Thanksgiving.

Thanks for reading! If you have any thoughts, i would love to hear them int he comments below!

2024: weeks 11 and 12

big screen: love lies bleeding (dir. rose glass, 2024). this movie is so far from my thing i cannot even begin. did that stop me from L O V I N G it? ABSOLUTELY NOT.

little screen: palm royale (apple+, episodes 1-3). the thing about kristen wiig is that wonder woman 1984 actually did prove that she's an incredible dramatic actor. so far, this show comes so so close to being worthy of both her comedic and dramatic skills, but the writing iiiiiiiis weak. but it's gorgeous, and also allison janney is there, so it'll stay on the weekly schedule.

big book: the dragon reborn (robert jordan, 1991). i finished it. i did really enjoy both tdr and tgh, but the sameness was a bit much by the end and i'm stoked to be kicking on with the shadow rising.

om nom nom: chocolate peacan pie. sometimes you just gotta sit at a counter and eat some pie while you do your monthly financial business.

sportsball: the chelsea v arsenal sock drama. i'm still thinking about this, because it was SO dumb and SO funny. some of those arsenal players wanted to set their feet on fire.

that thing we're all pretending we weren't obsessed with for a month: added to the list for Future Me to remember that month we were all like, maybe cate middleton had a butt lift??? and instead she had cancer.

no books: the clunes booktown festival 2024. a friend and i drove out the two hours out there, hunted around for wheel of time books for a couple of hours, bought nothing, ate a snot block and a blue heaven milkshake, drove the two hours home. cracker saturday.

This isn't a cake or anything but I love dessert based characters and stuff. I can't draw unfortunately but if I could I'd show you my OC based on my favorite dessert

Chocolate beignets my beloved

OUUUUHHHHH I've never had beignets but some day I'd love to try them they look SO good, especially those chocolate ones

So far i've been sticking with sweet but savory could be fun.... especially because of the complexity of some of the breads who can be cakes like different types of cornbread and stuff...hmmMM

ouuuuhhhhghhhh now i want peacan pie................

Raspberry Chocolate Mousse Tarts

Apparently, today is World Chocolate Day, the perfect excuse to indulge in these silky, crunchy and fruity  Raspberry Chocolate Mousse Tarts. They look fancy and taste delicious, but are so simple to make it would be a shame not to! Happy World Chocolate Day!

Ingredients (serves 4):

1 cup heavy whipping cream

2 long peppers

4 ounces dark chocolate

3 tablespoons all natural cocoa butter

1/2 cup almond meal

1/4 cup pecans

1/4 cup almonds

2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar

dark chocolate, for shaving

24 large fresh raspberries

Heat heavy whipping cream  with long pepper in a small saucepan until simmering. Pour over dark chocolate in a medium bowl. Let stand, a couple of minutes, then stir energetically with a rubber spatula, until chocolate is completely melted, and mixture is smooth and shiny. Chill in the refrigerator, 1 hour. 

Melt cocoa butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat.

Line a small tray with parchment paper. Grease four pastry rings or squares with a little cocoa butter and place onto parchment paper. Set aside.

In a food processor, combine almond meal, pecans and almonds. Process until nuts are coarsely chopped. Add dark brown sugar and cocoa powder, and porcess on low speed, gradually adding melted cocoa butter, until mixture just starts coming together. Divide mixture between the four pastry rings, and press firmly to form an even layer. Place tray in the refrigerator, to chill, half an hour.

Remove long pepper from the cooled ganache. With an electric mixer, beat chocolate ganache on high speed until a pale brown colour, light and fluffy. Divide whipped chocolate ganache between the four patry rings and arrange into an even layer, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon. Return to the refrigerator, to chill, at least an hour.

Run a knife around the edges of the pastry rings to losen them, and gently release each tart into a serving plate. Shave dark chocolate one one side of each tart, and garnish other side with six fresh raspberries.

Serve Raspberry Chocolate Mousse Tarts immediately.

Nine (Van McCann)

Just a silly little fic where Van is sporadic regular at a coffee shop.

Part 1

Part 2 

Saturday morning.

You’ve already baked cinnamon buns and the peacan pie by time Carly officially opens up the café at 8. The smell of freshly baked goods circling the shop, Carly hums in appreciation, hovering in the kitchen to see what she can rob for breakfast.

Toby arrives at half 8, Carly all too gladly standing back from the coffee machine. He hovers by the kitchen door a few minutes later, thanking you again for last night while you’re pulling a tray of breakfast muffins out of the oven.

“Sure you didn’t lose something?” You ask him, he only blinks, a questioning ‘no?’, and you tug his keys from your pocket.

“Are they my- shit, where’d you find them?!”

Fragmented story telling about last night, about Van, between serving customers. You still feel a rush of lightheadedness when you think about last night, think about Van. Heartbeat kicking up in a weird little pitter-patter rhythm - something you only associate with kittens and Hugh Grant films. Toby listens with a knowing smile, which you choose to ignore.

“Oh, and guess who Julia got off with last night?” You say, maybe to change the subject off Van, after he’s handed a takeaway cup to the last of the customers. He raises a how eyebrows, looking at you with interest. Toby liked to act like he wasn’t interested in the gossip, stories swapped between you and Julia on long shifts - but you always caught him half listening, weighing in with his own comments if asked.

But before you can dish out the gossip on who you had walked in on in your kitchen this morning, Julia herself stomps through the door.

“Speak of the devil,” you mumble with a smirk while Toby playfully hisses at her as she walks past “Ey, what time do you call this then?”

It’s 9, she’s an hour late. She had told you this morning she’d cleared it with Carly, when you had brought her water and painkillers. More as a front to question her on who you had found in the kitchen than being concerned for her head. She’d seen through it and buried herself under her duvet when you entered her room.

“Piss off,” she hisses back, taking off her sunglasses. No makeup and too much perfume, the telltale signs of a rough night. “And don’t even start you!” Pointing her sunglasses at you, your smug smile. You only hold your hands up to with a lingering smirk. Toby’s eyes flickering between you both.

The bell hanging from the door rings, drawing your attention back to the till as two mums with buggies and toddlers make their way in, the screeches of excited children make Julia shudder.

“Jesus Christ, kids shouldn’t be allowed out in public until at least midday on weekends,” she huffs under her breath and makes a beeline for the staff room. A chuckle - calling after her, telling her you had left breakfast muffins in the oven. The perfect combination of savory and sweet - the best hangover cure. Apart from more alcohol that is.

You’re loading up a tray with hot chocolates and coffees for the mums and kids when Julia re-emerges from the back room, taking a bite out of the muffin in her hand with a groan of your name, telling you that you were a lifesaver.

“Sure you can manage these? No more bad luck leftover? Need a side of salt?” Toby teases while handing you the tray over the counter, you roll your eyes - telling him not to remind you of yesterday’s disasters.

“So, wild night at the pub quiz I hear,” you hear Toby turning back to Julia while you walk away, biting down on the inside of your cheek to suppress a smile. Recalling her texts.

You make your way out front to the terrace where the noisy kids have taken up residence at one of the tables, except now their shrieks seem to be in despair rather than delight. One of the women standing out on the path while the other is desperately trying to calm the boys, one already in tears. Inconsolable.

“Oh, what’s happened?!” You ask, a frown while setting the tray on their table.

“Pebbles ran away!” The older of the boys wail while pointing down the road. It’s then that you notice the abandoned dog leash on the ground beside your foot, one end under the seat of the chair, the other end clipped onto a collar.

“He must have wriggled out, a lad’s gone running after him - I hope-“ the woman is cut off by the younger boy’s screech of “There! Pebbles!!”

You follow his gaze, almost shaking your head and laughing - it’s Van, of course it’s fucking Van to the rescue. Sauntering back down the path with the runaway Yorkshire terrier in his arms, licking at his face.

You watch the look of adoration in the women’s eyes as he carries the dog back up to the table, the gleeful sounds of the kids. His smile widens once he spots you, hovering.

“Alright lids, see he’s fine! Just a little messer ain’t he?!” Van eases, dropping down on his haunches to hold the dog while the mum fiddles with adjusting the collar.

Ducking back inside while the chorus of ‘thank yous’ surround Van, grabbing a couple of chocolate chip cookies and pain au chocolats, sugar for the shock.

Once you set the treats down on the table, the boys wipe the end of their tears from their eyes. Sounds of delight resurface, something their mothers echo when you tell them not to worry, that the cookies and crossiants are on the house.

Van follows you back inside after high fiving the boys, winking at the women and blowing a kiss at the dog - who seemed rather taken with him. Holding the door open for you.

“You’re in early, thought rockstars didn’t get up ‘til noon,” you say as he follows you in. Eyes a little bloodshot, voice a little husky - but other than that he didn’t share any of Julia’s hangover symptoms. You wonder what kind of drinker he is.

“Eh, never been good at the whole rockstar thing me.” A lazy grin, reaching the counter where Julia stops mid rant about how bacon absolutely belongs in muffins. Their eyes lock, mirrored smirks - sharing the same secrets.

“Think you have someone that belongs to me, love.” He chuckles.

Julia hums in response, “think I’ll hang onto him a bit longer.”

You bite back a smile. This morning, walking into your kitchen at sunrise only to be greeted with a scruffy, bearded man. Vaguely familiar, from the countless interviews and live performances you had binged on YouTube. He was leaning against the kitchen counter, unbuttoned shirt and undone jeans, hand buried in his hair, staring blankly at the floor tiles. Clearly in the midst of a hangover from hell, possibly going through the fear. You could smell the stale alcohol.

“Er, morning?” You said quietly, blue eyes flickering up, a crooked smile, and a rasped “Mornin’, love.”

Like it was the most natural thing for him to be standing in your kitchen, like it was his kitchen even.

“Are you looking for sommat or?” You opened the fridge, glancing back over him. Hoping he wasn’t about to puke all over the place. He had that look.

“Yeah, just the last shreds of me dignity.. and anything.. cold, please... fuck,” he grumbles, pressing his head into his hands. You almost felt sorry for him, then you remembered the videos and messages from Julia last night and hide a smile by looking back into the fridge. Jug of iced water and a pint glass, handing him the full glass before rooting through the medicine drawer, painkillers.

“Aye, you’re a fuckin’ godsent, thanks angel.” Taking the painkillers and water from you. “Can see why Van’s so fond of you, coffee girl.”

There’s a lot of unpack in that sentence, and it was way too early. So you simply blink and watch him take the pills.

“Coffee girl?” You question eventually, arms crossing.

His eyes drift back over to you, grimacing while he sips on the water. “Aye, you work down the café, wi’ Julia, reet?”

You knew you shouldn’t have, but when opportunity arises, you can’t help it. Winding him up. It’s a rare morning you’re in a good mood, able to communicate in more that one syllable words.

“No? Dunno what you’re on about mate, Julia works down the cafè.. heard her mentioned someone called Van a few times, seemed like they had a thing, yeah?”

A flash of panic in his eyes, practically hearing the flurry of curse words going through his head. The prospect of the fact he’s probably shagged someone his best mate is ‘fond of’. Quirking a brow while he stared.

“Nah, she said.. You.. fuck.. fuck me,” a string of grumbles, clearly trying and failing to get his head straight - remember what had happened last night, what Julia had told him. Hands patting down his jeans, pulling out his phone with a heavy sigh. He curses at the screen. “Fuck, Van’s gon-“

“Hey,” you decide to put him out of his misery. He was growing paler by the second, and you were getting more and more worried about the prospect of cleaning up puke. “I’m just messin’ with ya.”

Realisation hitting - eye narrowing at you, telling him your name, confirming that you were indeed the coffee girl who worked with Julia. He shakes his head, a gruff noise and crooked smirk.

“Jesus, threw me for a loop there... well played, my dear... I like you already,” holding out his first, “Am Johnny,” he says while you knock your knuckles against his. You refrain from telling him you knew that already.

“Well, he’s kinda crucial in our band and that, so afraid I get first dibs, darlin’” Van’s voice drags you back to the present.

“So you’re saying you’re going on tour again soon, eh?” Julia tilts her head.

A breathy little laugh - “Bands do more than just tour, yanno?”

“You do realise the internet is a thing, Van - we could literally google your tour dates right now and find out. So your mysterious bullshit ain’t flying anymore.” She rolls her eyes, another bite of her muffin.

Since finding out he was in Catfish, neither of you had ever thought about checking on the tour dates, when he came he came and when he left he left, and that’s that. No wondering if he’d show up when the tour was up. Simple, no attachments. You and Julia even named a local stray cat after Van who you fed from time to time when he came snooping around the bins outside, the easiness of coming and going.

So why were your fingers suddenly itching for your phone.

“Ah, love! Why ruin the little mystery that’s left then? Like I said - we do other stuff too, could have label stuff to do, graftin the next album... cheers, mate.” Trailing off once Toby slides his caramel latte over the counter, something he had got him hooked on a year or so ago. “Fuckin missed this.” He says as if every other coffee shop has yet to discover caramel.

“So yous are doing a new album then, that it?” Julia persists, rolling your eyes at her blatant attempts at winding him up. But he catches on, a lazy grin, licking his lips.

“Ain’t ya too hungover to be fuckin’ with us like this?” He calls her out, a smirk.

She shrugs while her eyes slide over to the elderly couple that come in every morning, sitting in their usual spot. Calling over to them that their tea and scones are on the way, fond calls back of ‘take your time, pet.’ telling Van she’s not finished with him before heading into the back to get a teapot.

“What happened last night anyways?” Toby interjects, bemused look across his features. Completely left out of the loop, obviously not getting anything out of Julia when you left them a while ago.

Taking the opportunity to pull up Julia’s messages - putting you phone down on the counter between the three of you. The video is obviously taken at the time of the night where all rational thoughts are lost to drinks. Loud music, girls screams - background static, Johnny Bond stood at the bar, downing three consecutive shots of what you assume is tequila, Julia’s giggles soundtrack while following him out the smoking area, turning back to the camera and taking off his cap with slur of ‘mind this for me, love’ before he proceeds to do a handstand against a wall for 15 seconds. Confused onlookers as Julia counts it out.

Amused sounds - Toby and Van, Julia passing back around the counter in search of scones for the couple, she glances over your shoulder at the video.

“Ey, anyone who does a handstand after 3 shots of tequila without vomming earns their space in my bed.”

There’s another video from about 20 minutes later of Larry stood on a table, Kylie Minogue blaring, and he’s doing an enthused rendition of the Can’t Get You Outta my Head dance mixed with a bit of the Macarena. Cheers erupting around him, wolf whistles.

Van - a rasped cackle, “send that one onto me, that’s too good! Never gon let him live that one down!”

You watch him while he watches the video again a few times over. His eyelashes nearly brushing his cheeks when he looks down, fingers restlessly tapping against his coffee mug, soft chuckles. Feeling Toby give you a nudge, a wink when you look up. Letting you know he caught you, shaking your head with your best ‘fuck off’ eyes.

“So why were you making the lads humiliate themselves for your entertainment then?” Toby asks Julia once she circles back around the counter

“‘Cause, the lads bet me that they’d beat us at the pub quiz,” she explains, helping herself to another muffin. “Johnny spent half the time outside smoking, and Van and Larry fuckin’ argued over every question and ended up writing down bullshit made up answers.”

Toby asks where Van’s forfeit video is, you’re only half listening now - taking orders of the few people who just came in, but you zone back in once you hear your name mentioned.

“-and after I told him she was workin’ late closing up, never seen anyone down their pint so quickly, what was the excuse again, Van? Jet lag was it?”

Glancing up at that to find him already looking at you, catching his eye, his lips tilt making his dimple pop out. It lasts less than a second, your eyes darting back down to the pecan pie you’re cutting. Feeling your cheeks warm up. He never mentioned that he had run into Julia at the pub last night, remembering how he just said he was on his way home. Although, you were half sure it did have nothing do with you, more likely he was just sick of Julia’s drunken bullshit.

“Nah, just quite like that pub and want to be able to show me face in there again, innit.” He tells her, a laugh.

You grab a basin and walk away to start to clear tables, not really wanting to hear anymore of Julia’s torments. You’re happier zoning out, getting lost in your own thoughts, smiling and small talk with a few regulars. On you’re way back to the kitchen when you hear Van again as you walk past, catching your elbow.

“You in then too, Glasvegas?”

“Sorry, what?” Turning back to him, you had been thinking if Julia would be up for getting chipper on the way home after the pub tonight. You were already craving garlic cheese chips.

“Coming down Cassidy’s tonight? Van’s buying first round for being a pussy last night.” Julia quips, and you look from him to her. Fuck, remembering Van’s confession about wanting to buy you a drink last night. Julia’s looking at with you a smug expression, knowing you can’t get out of this one. You and her always went out on Saturday night’s - either just the two of you, or a group of friends. But going to the pub with Van and his mates, your heart skips a few beats, uneasiness. You give her a look before letting your eyes slide back to Van, an expectant look, finishing off his cinnamon bun.

“Er, I dunno..”

“Dunno if you’re up for going to the pub? Like we don’t go out every Saturday night?” Julia tilts her head, feigning mock innocence. You knew what she was doing, and you glare. A non-verbal ‘you’re being a dick.”

“Well, er, it’s been a long week.. yanno. I’m kinda tired.. was thinkin’ of staying in and having a quiet one,” you’re backing slowly into the kitchen as you say this, feeble excuses. “And I’m.. I’m trying to save some and that.”

“So me and you will do pre-drinks at ours,” Julia pushes, entertaining your excuses to a certain extent, but not letting you get out of it.

“And I’m buying first round,” Van adds.

“So, it’s just one drink really.” Julia confirms.

“Jus’ one drink.” Van reaffirms.

“Just one drink?” You say, somewhat defeated.

Toby glances up from the coffee machine, a chuckle. “Now when’s the last time anyone went out and actually had just one drink?”

Van leaves a little while later, Toby giving him a tray of coffees for Larry and Bondy if he’d yet ventured back from your place, you sending him off with a bag of hangover cures in form of pastries and cakes.

He came back in a few minutes later, forgetting his stamp on his loyalty card.

“2 down, eight to go. Cheers, see yas later.” He walked back out, a spring in his step. You turned to Julia.

“What the fuck, Jules?! Will you leave us alone and stop tryin’ to setup me up with Van fuckin’ McCann!” Exasperated tone, she only shook her head and giggled. “S’not funny! He probably already has a girlfriend and you’re here makin’ us look desperate!”

“Dunno what you’re on about, babe!” She says while heading out to clean up the terrace, humming matchmaker matchmaker under her breath. She turns back to you as she reaches the door “Oh, and he deffo doesn’t have a girlfriend, found that out last night for ya. You’re welcome!” She beams, all but skipping out the door.

You somehow resist the urge to chuck the tea towel in your hands at her head.

Baking is great! The only time I'm not a compete disaster in the kitchen is when there is cake involved in any way 🤤 You sound like a very talented baker 😁

Damnnnn that's so cool!! And super sweet oh my 🥺 you can never have too much food... And good, you shouldn't be ashamed 😂 I'd be honoured to try your food!

Thank you! I don't have the... I guess stereotypical? British accent, I'm from up North so my accent is much broader 😅

That scene in the Philosopher's stone is very spooky though, the way the cloaked dude moves *shivers* its gross... The only saving grace of that scene is Draco running around like a headless chicken in the background, focusing on him is much better 😅 and next time?! ? Honey I hope we never have to endure that scene again, you'd be getting used as a human shield so I don't have to see it 😭 but sharing a blanket with you sounds lovely!

Impeccable taste... Peacan does sound better I must admit but hey maybe that's just me being fussy... My first thought when you said pumpkin pie was the image of the inside you scoop out before your carve them 🥴 but I'd love to try them both with you! And a slutty brownie sounds heavenly... What is it exactly? If you don't mind me asking, guessing it's slightly different to an average brownie 🤔

Btw your secret santa idea sounds absolutely wonderful!! I hope all of you taking part have an awesome time! (I'm sorry I'm not, just a tad nervous but it sounds brilliant 😁) hope you had a great day and are well rested (4am?!? You'll wear yourself out mashed potato (that's the nickname I'm gonna stick with till I think of a better one 😂) I hope you treated yourself to a nice hot drink and a nap the next day 💛) - C ☺️

COWBOY YOU GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW I WILL FEED YOU WHATEVER YOU WANT I AM CUBAN THIS IS WHAT I WAS BORN TO DO 👏🏼👏🏼

Okay, @welshdragonrawr will attest to the fact that I know virtually nothing about British accents, but I love them ALL and I bet yours is amazing because UNGH 🥺😩👏🏼

Aldjlajdkahdkskg Draco is really something else my god 😂 and you can use me as a human shield all you want, I’ll protect you 🥰 (this is a huge lie but the sentiment is nice, no?? 😂🙈)

*GASP* you don’t know what slutty brownies are??!!!?! Oh my GOD- okay so you bake it in a pan, super easy!

omg so the rest about picking up the cake!

omg i started to talk about it the day off but my mind wasnt really all there for it so i will today omg finish, so the bakery is in one of those hard to fill in i imagine stores that sit was far back in its own parking lot that private owned electronic stores or some niche hobby thing usually fill out and looked like undusted from the 80s how does it stay open kinda space only its a cute white and pink bakery! its like catty corner from that cute tea shop that i need to apply to still and across the street from a simply Charming house with this gorgeous wood work thats all being put to waste as a private insurance firm thing, i guess its Not a waste if people are using it but fgf you know what i mean, omg

i went in and there was like a blast of verbal excitement and there were like three or four ladies working there, i think three, but it might have been like three at the baking area and one talking to me omg anyway one was like, like i said oh you look like you belong here and i was just like aaaa thanks fdgdg omg ill talk about that thing later but one of them recognized my mom cause they use to work together and like; my mom has nothing nice to say about this woman E V E R she didnt want to even go cause she was like that place isnt good [coworker] works there and i was like, well im going with or without you fdfd, i picked it cause it was all women and they have like tiered desserts that sounded fancy on the menu

and like they were! but i was expecting like cafe chic and they were more i work a day shift at an office/hospital and need something for lunch/afternoon/after work which like, still nice but functional so i was kinda hmm, i had lured my mom in with the promise of cupcakes when i had my mind set on tiered stuff that werent the style i was hoping for, but they had gluten and keto friendly diet options! and like macrons and cheese cake slices for one and like mini pies for your office lunch, like brownie pies and like cookie brownies and some cupcakes left and she was giving me like the tour cause it was my first time there and handed me their business card omg, the energy was ecstatic, they also [long dramatic pause to something You already know about] had a few cakes on display!!!! like its a custom make to order+a daily bake shop so i didnt expect to see any for sale? like sometimes theres a display and maybe canceled wonked up orders but not like a whole shelf of them??? i was sooo like bday miracle about it, there was like chocolate raspberry that was heart shaped and one that had hearts and snowflakes while being pink and grey but it was vanilla and one that was a pumpkin pie sealed up in like frosting and covered in peacan stuff omg i went with the marble one i showed off,

then she was all take a cupcake on the house!! its your birthday and she was telling me the flavors and there was a strawberry and cream one i could tell by her minuet facial expressions she wanted me to have and was like that kind of disapointed people get when they surprised/wrong for like a fraction of a second when i was like the funfetti one please, maybe cause i was eyeballing it but i was only doing that cause i thought it might be pink champagne which is like my top ten flavors for anything cakey to be

omg im recalling this out of order cause it was like a whirlwind of things like the women were all cooing over me, my mom being like awful in a snide way while the women went on acting like she wasnt and me trying to be a Normal Customer during it dfhgfdf the woman my mom use to work with before the tour was like “ive never met you!” all like, surprized looking and were all collectively like Shocked when it was like my moms my mom and im [REDACTED] like i didnt misgender me my mom did and she knows better > > and im like haha nope we havnt met before (thinking like why would we have gffhf, its only later thinking about it that i was like oh because parents usually involve their kids in office environments and meet their coworkers through parties and Events, like my mom prob knows everyones family there jfkdjhds)

and shes trying to get my mom to take a cupcake for my brother and herself and shes like nooo hes on a perpetual diet :) (like what a fucked up thing to say sfgfhj) and the lady was like trying SO hard to talk my mom into taking one for herself was literally like what can i do to talk you into a cupcake and she was like i have to work in the morning (it was like, 4-5 pm ddgdf) and the lady gave up, she was so concerned, my mom just does not eat which is probs something very noticeable at a catering company

and then shes ringing me up telling me about the rewards program my mom goes into how grandma died and shes been having trouble with her credit cards like not!! the time for this!! and shes like giving her condolences to this woman she openly loathed at home, at this womans work hours while we’re doing a birthday thing for me so i just, like started to give my number over top of that, it might have Seemed rude in the moment but if the womans savvy enough she’ll know what i stepped in on omg

and then!! she wanted to walk the cake to the car??? like that was so sweet and strange the ladies were all wishing me a happy bday and compliments and stuff she asked me how old i was and i was all 29, watching her face with intent (when i Say i was wired oh my god) she looked surprised but not anything negative that i was looking for, sometimes peoples faces fall a bit or look taken aback and i feel Bad about that like ive tricked them dggfg

and omg on the way out my mom brought up their Now Hiring Sign -_- again not appro for what we were doing!! and the lady was like as we were taking the cake to the cake yes we need front help someone hard working and reliable and the way she said so pointedly i KNEW (like i had a feeling but now i Know Know) that my mom talks MAD SHIT about me at work and the woman had many private thoughts about how batshit my mom sounds fggfgf, and me and this bakery lady are just holding each other’s presence while she walked that whole five feet to the care with a one person weighs barely anything cake placing it in the car with so much care oh my god im going to lose my mind!!! thinking about it aaaaa!!!!!

on the way to get take out my mom started up on the That Price! For That Small Of A Cake but there was no force to it, like she knows they basically gave it away therres nooo way it was that price omg and if it actually was then thats a wild low price for a cake like that but omg a lot of stuff she needles me with have been so half hearted like theyre not as effected or maybe they always were that hollow and im just now noticing it

and omg that was so, emotional fgfgdgdf the cake is so good  ; x ;  and this enthusiastic stranger’s love makes it like even tastier omg

Got around to visiting Squish Marshmallows in the East Village the other day, and as one can tell by the namesake, they’re known for specialty-flavor marshmallows. I decided to get a bunch of flavors and share them around as an afternoon office treat and ended up getting the following flavors: Birthday Cake (vanilla, rainbow sprinkles), Banana Pudding (banana, vanilla wafer cookie crumble), Rocky Road (cocoa, almonds, chocolate chunks, mini-vanilla marshmallows),  Apple Pie (apples, cinnamon, speculoos cookie crumble), Caramel Brownie (cocoa, caramel chips, coffee brownie crumble), Pecan Pumpkin Spice (peacans, cinnamon, nutmug, clovee, ginger, allspice) and S’mores (vanilla, chocolate chunks, cinnamon graham cracker crumble). 

You can get either marshmallows in the regular form or a chocolate-covered form, so I ended up doubling up on the chocolate-covered forms for some of the flavors. My personal favorites were the apple plie, caramel brownie, and pecan pumpkin spice flavors, though the birthday cake and banana pudding flavors seemed to be a big hit among my colleagues too. Anywho, if you’re a marshmallow fanatic, Squish Marshmallows is a must-visit place for you if you’re ever down in the East Village area.

[oldslaytherin]

strawberry n papaya

strawberry: favorite desserts?

I like Peacan Pie, my granny’s coconut cake, VARIOUS ice cream flavours (but anything with mint + chocolate combo is the best), macaroons, chocolate, peppermint anything. There’s tons more than those, tbh.

papaya: what song describes your aesthetic?

I really had to think about this one bc I’m trash and I don’t think I even have an aesthetic? But, uhhh, I’d say Save Myself by Ed Sheeran!

send me a fruit!
