It's such a wonderful night in Tokyo Japan, with a lot of cookies going out and into Shinjuku Carnival Arcade 👾
Ranging from cake-beast and bartending besties, a starry night bringing their doughnut kid, or even just Milky Way being herself 🕹️
Tokyo in general is very crowded but showcase an overall flare of fun into it! 🎮🇯🇵

Long Snake Moan 2
Tumblr media
My warnings are not exhaustive but be aware this is a dark fic and may include potentially triggering topics. Please use your common sense when consuming content. I am not responsible for your decisions.
Character: Loki
Summary: your boss gives you a task you're not prepared for.
As usual, I would appreciate any and all feedback. I’m happy to once more go on this adventure with all of you! Thank you in advance for your comments and for reblogging ❤️
Tumblr media
Loki glowers at the people around him as you approach. You have to resist the urge to turn and run away. Thor helps in that. You know he won’t let you turn back. Not to mention the man who sent you. 
He looks over as Thor calls his name and slaps his arm, “told you, not very long at all.” 
“Mmm,” Loki narrows his eyes and his lips thin. He sends you a cursory sneer. “You came all this way for... Stark’s minion?” 
“I believe her title is Executive Assistant,” Thor corrects him. 
You give a helpless look. A pursing of your lips that must look painful. Loki doesn’t look at you again. His cheeks tauten and his eyes roll towards the ceiling. 
“Right, um, this isn’t very easy to say so... um, Mr...” You look at Thor and he just shrugs. “Loki, erm, alright. So the thing is--” 
“Oh, you know, there’s a cafe I’ve been wanting to try. Steve, you know Steve, he recommended it. Why don’t we sit down and discuss?” Thor claps your back and nudges his brother. You grimace and Loki looks less than impressed. 
“Be out with it.” 
“Oh brother, don’t be rude. Come. You could do with a bit of a treat. You’re in a foul mood.” Thor reproaches. 
“I wonder why that would be,” Loki hisses. 
“Well, as I was saying, I saw they have a special on. A turtle donut? Turtle on a donut? I’ve never heard of such a thing,” he rambles and drags you both across the lobby. 
“It’s not... well, doesn’t matter,” you let the murmur drift off. 
You don’t have much of a choice, or the strength to resist him. You’re ushered out of Stark Tower and towards the cafe you pass on your way in. You stopped in once for one of their holiday lattes but you don’t often get the time to have coffee outside the stale breakroom brew. 
Loki shakes off his brother and follows behind. Thor lets you in first and holds the door. He makes his brother go ahead of him and you join the queue around the counter. 
“What would you like?” Thor asks. 
You bob up and down as you search the cafe. You flinch as you realise he’s talking to you. “Oh, I’m fine--” 
“I insist. Now please, coffee or tea? A late?” 
“Latte,” Loki corrects him. 
“Yes, that.” Thor laughs at himself. 
“Well, I’ll just have a small tea. That’s fine. Um...” you look up at the menu, “Earl Grey is fine.” 
“Black tea, large,” Loki starts before you’re even done speaking. “Since you’re being generous.” 
Thor grins and leans over to look inside the display case. “No sweets?” 
“No thanks.” You answer. Loki doesn’t acknowledge the question, instead glaring at those who stop to stare at his brother. Several lenses are aimed in Thor’s ambivalent direction. 
“May as well find a seat,” Thor stands as the barista motions him up to the cashier, “I’ll find you.” 
You glance over at Loki as he ignores you, rather pointedly as he lifts his nose. You shuffle away and go to an empty table in the corner. You sit against the wall and twiddle your fingers over the table.  
To your surprise, Loki sits across from you. You fidget as your eyes continue to wander around him, never landing on him. He sighs and you chew your lip. 
“Get on with it. I am not in the mood for socializing, especially not with... whatever you are.” 
You tilt your head and your mouth. Right, this is not going to be fun. He has the right idea of it though. It’s best to just get it over with. 
“Okay, uh, right, Loki, sir,” you twist your hand around your finger. “Prince?” 
He blinks dully. You nod, egging yourself on. 
“Mr. Stark sent me to tell you something. And I’m very sorry to be the one to tell you this but--” 
“Tea.” Thor booms as he drops into the chair next to his brother, nearly dropping his armload.  
He doles out the cups and gleefully unwraps his donut. You’re sweltering as you notice the audience behind him, entranced by not only his size but his fame. Loki’s cheeks pinch in irritation as he peeks over his shoulder. 
“So let me just get it done with. Um, you... you...” you frown and your eye brows dip down then pop up. You struggle to find the right way to say it. There really isn’t on. “You cannot stay on earth.” 
Loki spins back to you, his chair scraping on the floor, and Thor chokes on his mouthful of chocolate, pecan, and dough. Both of them make confused noises. 
“You’re being deported. I... I’m sorry.” 
“Deported? Who says I cannot stay in Midgard? Who would make me leave?” Loki scoffs. 
“It... it wasn’t my decision. I was only sent the paperwork and I tried to give it to Mr. Stark--” 
“No doubt he had a hand in it. How can this be? I am a refugee. It was to my understanding that the status guarantees me safe harbour.” He blusters. 
“Brother, please, don’t be angry at the little one. She is merely the harbinger.” Thor coaxes. 
“I’m sorry,” you begin, squirming as your body’s encased in flame, “I understand it’s not ideal but--” 
“You understand?! You understand nothing. My home was destroyed.” He snarls. “How is it I am to be dejected and my brother is free to stay?” 
“I don’t know. I’m sorry, I wasn’t... I didn’t...” 
“Brother, please, she cannot be held responsible--” 
“Don’t tell me who or what!” Loki shoves him away. “Curse this planet and curse Stark.” 
A green flash has you flattened against the back of your chair and your vision speckles. You blink as only an empty chair remains next to Thor. He shakes his head at it and takes another bite. He looks at you and shrugs. 
“Let him have his tantrum. We’ll simply have to try again.” He breaks off a piece of his donut, “you must try this. It doesn’t even taste like turtle. Much sweeter.”

AITA for cutting up donuts? 🍩🔪
I cannot stress how low stakes (and dumb) this is.
Whenever I buy donuts, I usually get them from this local place that changes flavors monthly. Stuff like caramel apple, earl grey and lavender, Cuban cold brew, maple bourbon. Just. Amazing. My husband and I love trying the new options each month.
Typically, a person would just go to the box, grab a donut, and be on their merry way. I do not do that. I will cut a small, bite sized section of the donut(s) I want, leaving a portion in the box. I do this because 1.) I had bariatric surgery about 5 years ago, and a large amount of sugar all at once can cause dumping syndrome. It is exactly what it sounds like. 2.) What if I don't like how it tastes? I don't want to waste a whole donut.
My grandmother recently came over for a weekend visit. I decided to pick up some of these delightfully bougie donuts for all of us to share. I get my portion and go to my office to get some work done.
A few minutes later, I hear my grandmother yelling from the kitchen, "Who the hell cut plugs out of the goddamned donuts?!"
I come in, half laughing and explain that it is A Thing that I do and give my reasons. (I assumed she thought the bakery did it?) She says "Okay, but what if someone wanted the whole donut?" And points to my oblivious husband making coffee in the corner and adds "Is this how she makes you live? Do you ever get to eat an entire donut around here?"
He sheepishly replies, "Um. Yeah, not usually, ha-ha."
We all sort of laughed it off, but it bugged me a bit. I asked my husband later when we were alone if it really did annoy him and he said that it wasn't a big deal, but it did occasionally suck bc he felt like he couldn't just grab wherever he wanted just in case *I* wanted part of it.
So, AITA for cutting "plugs" out of the donuts, leaving partial, sad looking donuts behind in the box?
What are these acronyms?

How Good the RvB Main Cast is at Cooking, Ranked from Best to Worst
1. Donut
Donut gives off the vibe of one of those gay men with a baking channel on YouTube. This man's out here rolling up to the red team monthly dinner club with frenched rack of lamb with a pistachio mint crust and wine accompaniment, then earl grey souffle with creme anglaise for dessert. He spends hours experimenting with new and interesting ingredients. Remy Ratatouille, send-you-back-to-rural-France ass man. Donut's food fucks hard and everyone knows it.
2. Grif
You really think my man Grif loves food as much as he does and doesn't know how to make it? C'mon. He doesn't, like, relish the act of cooking as much as he does having a good plate of food at the end of it. And he's not typically much for sharing. But my guy makes a damn good short rib and bechamel lasagna. Give him the day to let something slow cook, and god damn.
3. Wash
Wash has been living off of MREs for probably his entire adult life, but I feel like he's got a few dishes he can whip out for a date night, or if he's feeling fancy. He knows how to read a recipe, and he has a pretty good idea of what flavors go together to make something good. He probably has a really nice papardelle with vinho verde sauce that he has sitting around in the back of his head for special occasions.
4. Tucker
Okay, Tucker isn't a bad cook by any means, ok? He's great with breakfast food specifically. It's just that he isn't especially fancy about it. He was probably, like, a line cook at Denny's in high school, so all his food tastes like food you would get at Denny's. Which isn't a bad thing! You would just never call Denny's "fine dining". He has his niche, and he does it well, and he never feels even a little bit inclined to do anything different or better.
5. Church (Alpha)
Church isn't much of a foodie right off the bat, but someone's got to pack Caboose's lunch, and he ends up learning how to cook fairly well after that. After a certain point, he figures out how to make things from scratch--mostly things like chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, pancakes.
6. Simmons
I feel like Simmons mostly lives off of shit like green smoothies and homemade granola. Like, hardcore, low carb, vegan, all organic, high protein diet. And, like, it doesn't taste BAD. But it definitely isn't the kind of thing you bring to the red team dinner club. He does make a really nice sunbutter brownie that he has to hide from Grif.
7. Caboose
Caboose has been banned from using any objects in the kitchen that involve a heat source--which isn't HIS fault! How was he supposed to know that you're supposed to take the spoon OUT of the mac and cheese before putting it in the microwave? That's just a recipe for a cold spoon! Anyways, he manages just fine without the microwave, thank you very much. He can make ants on a log like it's nobody's business. Cleaning up afterwards is another matter entirely.
8. Carolina
Carolina is one of the most competent individuals you will ever meet. She could kill you in under a minute, in 30 different ways, and that's just with her bare hands. The fourth time Sarge tries to recruit her into red team is by inviting her to the monthly dinner club. She shows up empty handed, and when Donut very politely asks what she brought, she replies that it's very interesting that they expected the only woman on the team to go all out with cooking. They move on. Carolina spent 5 hours in the kitchen this afternoon trying to figure out how to use the oven. But they don't need to know that.
9. Tex
Now, listen. Tex can't be called a bad cook, precisely, because that would require she cook for herself or others. Which is something she does not do. That's what Church is for, isn't it?
10. Sarge
Sarge refuses to step foot in a kitchen after the fifth shouting match about how flamethrowers are not a universally recognized kitchen appliance.
11. Church (Epsilon)
One time, while blue team is shooting the wind, Caboose asks Epsilon what his favorite breakfast food is. Instead of calling Caboose a dumbass, as per usual, he instead goes into extensive detail about how he eats computer keys like cereal. Caboose tries it. It isn't very good.

If you were a cookie, what kind would you be?
What is your go-to DUNKIN order?
Cookie I would be: I don't like cookies! I guess maybe the limited edition Milano I tried the other day: "London Fog"--Milano cookie filled with vanilla and Earl Grey Tea flavoured cream.

Go-To Dunkin Order: Medium hot or iced with milk and half sugar, two plain donuts.

trick or treat!
happy halloween! this was the intro to a sequel to heaven or hell or somewhere in between that i never got around to writing
-
Lucy was starting to miss reckless Lockwood. 
Don’t get her wrong—she was over the moon that he’d finally started being cautious. Even if his motives weren’t what Lucy wanted, she could rest easy knowing he wasn’t going to die on her watch. 
However, he was starting to get ridiculous. 
First was the health food. Lucy wanted to blame their new assistant, Holly Munro, for Lockwood’s descent into the world of salads and fish oil supplements, but that wouldn’t be fair. Lockwood had already lost his mind a bit before hiring Holly. The first time he passed over his turn in the biscuit rotation, George nearly had a conniption fit.  “We could all do with fewer sweets,” Lockwood had told George with a good-natured grin. The things George had said in response Lucy wasn’t keen to repeat. 
Next were the morning jogs. Even Holly seemed a bit baffled by these, as they were often followed by hours of rapier training. “It seems a bit unnecessary,” she told Lucy over breakfast one day, shaking her head. “I worry he’ll hurt himself like that.” Lucy had responded in Lockwood’s defense—rather rudely, she would admit—but secretly agreed. Perhaps it would be for the best if he put himself out of action for a few weeks. His period of bedrest after being in the hospital had been the most peaceful of Lucy’s life. 
The final and most concerning thing, however, was his new bedtime routine. Gone were the days of Lockwood being the last to bed and first to rise. As soon as they returned from a job, Lockwood would begin brewing chamomile tea. After a shower, he’d then take an odd and concerning number of supplements, then listen to a tape of meditations he found in his mother’s belongings, shutting himself away in his room to trick himself into eight hours of sleep. Lucy supposed it should be a happy thing that Lockwood was taking steps towards curing his insomnia, but the intensity of it gave her pause. 
“He still looks tired,” she told George one evening as they enjoyed a good Earl Grey and array of donuts after a successful job. 
“The idiot’s going to kill himself faster this way,” George agreed with a roll of his eyes. “And, by extension, you. Where will that leave me? Left out, as always.” 
Lucy kicked him under the table. “I didn’t ask to be his soulmate.” 
“You know, you’re not much better than he is,” George said, pulling his legs out of kicking distance. “It goes both ways.” 
She had thought about that, thank you very much. Lucy didn’t need George reminding her that every stupid decision she made could kill Lockwood. “I hope Bobby Vernon’s your soulmate,” she hissed. 
“At least I don’t have to worry about him getting shot,” George hissed back.

For Tungst, Drip and Gloss 😌😌
🥞 PANCAKE - what is their comfort breakfast? 🎂 BIRTHDAY CAKE - when is their birthday? do they like celebrating it? 🍩 DONUT - favourite sweet treat? 🍟 FRIES - do they order food often? or they prefer to cook their own food? ☕️ HOT BEVERAGE - do they prefer hot or cold drinks? what is their favourite drink? 🍓 STRAWBERRY - do they eat their fruit & veg? what is their favourite fruit or vegetable? 🍰 CAKE SLICE - favourite cake flavour? are they specific about types of cakes?
Holy moly Chrystal! That's a lot of asks for my boys 😱 *cracks knuckles* Let's get started!
🥞 - What is their comfort breakfast?
Tungst: Cinnamon buns, but only the ones that Drip makes.
Drip: A full complete breakfast that includes eggs, bacon, hash browns, and toast.
Gloss: The breakfast burritos Drip once made them, but with some hot sauce.
🎂 When is their birthday? Do they like celebrating it?
Tungst: They all have the same birthday (28 BBY). Tungst always loves a good party, whether he has a reason to celebrate or not!
Drip: They all have the same birthday (28 BBY). Drip doesn't mind celebrating their birthday, but he prefers when they do it quietly.
Gloss: They all have the same birthday (28 BBY). If someone didn't mention it was their birthday, he wouldn't even know.
🍩 - Favorite sweet treat?
Tungst: Brownies. He can eat an entire tray of them by himself and won't even get sick.
Drip: Drip doesn't enjoy sweet foods, but if he had to pick one for the occasional treat, he would pick crème brûlée. (he's got fancy taste, like me).
Gloss: Cookies, because they're not messy, and they keep his hands clean. They also come in a huge variety and array of colors, which satisfies his artistic side.
🍟 - Do they order food often? Or do they prefer to cook their own food?
Tungst: Tungst can't cook to save his life, so as long as Drip is making dinner, they're eating in, and he prefers that. The only time the squad ever eats out is for special occasions or if Drip is sick.
Drip: Drip cooks all of the squad's food. He believes a home-cooked meal is healthier and tastier than anything they could buy at a restaurant. He likes cooking, so he doesn't mind.
Gloss: Gloss doesn't have a preference. He eats whatever is put in front of him. However, if nothing is put in front of him, he has a tendency to forgo eating instead of ordering out.
☕️ - Do they prefer hot or cold drinks? What is their favorite drink?
Tungst: Tungst prefers cold drinks. He's not big on flavored drinks, so he mostly only drinks cold water. He does drink caf in the morning, though.
Drip: Drip can go either or. He's a tea drinker and will drink it hot or iced. His favorite hot tea is an earl grey blend with coconut. His favorite iced tea is green.
Gloss: Gloss loves warm drinks because of how soothing they are. His favorite drink is a white chocolate mocha latte with whipped cream on top.
🍓 - Do they eat their fruit and veg? What is their favorite fruit and vegetable?
Tungst: Yes, the entire squad eats their fruit and veg thanks to Drip. His favorite vegetable is potatoes, in any preparation, and his favorite fruit is apples, but they have to be sliced.
Drip: Drip believes in a balanced diet, so he makes sure the squad gets their portion of fruit and veg, even if he has to cram it down their throats. His favorite vegetable is corn, and his favorite fruit is peaches.
Gloss: Yes, the entire squad eats their fruit and veg thanks to Drip. His favorite vegetable is specifically rainbow carrots. They lose their charm if it's just the orange ones, and his favorite fruit is strawberries.
🍰 - Favorite cake flavor? Are they specific about types of cakes?
Tungst: Tungst's favorite cake flavors is red velvet, but it has to be with the cream cheese frosting. It can't have any other type of frosting or he won't eat it. It also needs to be moist, not dry.
Drip: As stated previously, Drip isn't a huge fan of sugar, so he is very particular about cake that he eats. His favorite cake flavor is carrot cake. He likes the balance of earthiness and sweetness.
Gloss: Gloss's favorite cake flavor isn't so much a flavor, as it is a type of cake. He loves strawberry shortcake made with angel food cake, smothered in strawberries, and stacked high with fresh whipped cream.

Au were Grape Ade never went to the CoD and insteed went to work with Jelly Donut.
Like... The original time line is:
Past relationship working for the mafia -> unemployed -> Earl grey hires her to work partialy for the CoD -> then moves to the actual quartel of the CoD -> Butter roll drives her insane because she already was mentally unstable
And insteed would be
Past relationship working for the mafia -> unemployed -> Jelly Donut hires her as bodyguard -> Also becomes a performer there -> is mentally stable
Healthy Grape Ade au yippee!!! :D

Old Ferry Donut, 704 W Las Tunas Dr, San Gabriel, CA 91776
Tumblr media
Old Ferry Donut just opened its first San Gabriel Valley location in the same shopping center as Half & Half Good Old Time, Paris Baguette, Katsu Sando, and Bonchon.
Founded in Seoul in 2016, the company claims to be the first “premium donut brand” in South Korea. They specialize in filled donuts that cater to the Korean tastes. Koreans love cream filled pastries and donuts.
They had about a dozen types of donuts (e.g., cake, raised, filled) with more marked as “coming soon” on a sign. As for the donuts, they have a variety – raised, filled, cake. The flavors are interesting – e.g., Earl Grey, Butter Pistachio, Crème Brulee, White Chocolate Sesame, tc. The price ranges from $2.75 to $4.75 each. They also have coffee (their own roast) and bottled drinks.
Peanut butter ($4.50): A must for PB lovers. Really good! The raised donut was soft, tender, and fluffy. It was injected with a generous amount of peanut butter cream, dipped in a pb glaze and topped with chopped roasted peanuts. So much peanut butter! The donut was not glazed. The pb cream was sweet and smooth. I think I detected a hint of salt. Surprised by the amount of cream inside.
The shop is cute. The bear mascot is featured on the signs and merchandise. The donut box even has bear ears. Seating is limited to two tables inside. Service was friendly. I missed the grand opening, but since it was my first visit, they gave me a buy one, get one free coupon.
5 of 5 stars
