Here's how my grandma and I try to live a low waste lifestyle in the city

First thing is we reuse everything. We have a portion of our shelves dedicated to holding plastic food containers we have washed and are waiting to be used to hold leftovers, dried foods, as seed starting pots, etc. We also save any and all jars to hold dried herbs and food products.

Actually reuse is a big thing for us. We shop at places that use paper bags, which I then cut up to use as scrap paper for grocery lists, etc and then compost after that. We also have a small container with rubber bands from products, bread ties, etc.

If you can afford the start up costs and have the space, preserving your own food is excellent. We have a really small garden that produces a lot of food every year. My favorites are dehydrating (using a dehydrator that is at least 30 years old from back when my grandpa was into making jerky), freezing, and canning.

Also, use every bit of food. Right now in the freezer I have bags of apple cores and peeling, pear cores and peeling, and peach peels along with bags of bones and veggie scraps for broths. The fruit scraps will go towards making big batches of jelly when canning season is over. I'll probably use the pulp leftover to dehydrate and powder to add to baked goods following a success with crabapple jelly pulp. I've also made spaghetti sauce out of tomato peels. Anything rotting or absolutely unusable gets tossed in the compost.

Reusables!! Obviously in today's world you can't avoid plastic but you can reduce how much you use. We use reusable produce bags that I made out of scrap Tulle, reusable grocery bags, water bottles, ziploc bags, etc.

If you have a yard or space, composting is a big one! My grandma says she never realized how much food we tossed until we started one. You don't even have to spend money on it! I know people who use totes they drilled holes into, just toss it In a hole in their garden, etc. The one I use is an old hose winder (one of those cube ones( that broke and my work was going to toss. All I did was cut out the hose winding part and paint it pretty and it's held up for 2 years and counting so far.

Hang dry clothes. In summertime we almost exclusively dry our clothes on a line or on a clothes drying rack I found at a yard sale.

Keep your heat or ac a few degrees higher or lower depending on the season. This helps save energy being used to heat or cool your house.

Wash clothes in cool or cold water. I've been doing this for years and haven't noticed a difference.

Repair. You don't have to be a sewing genius to quickly repair a small tear, especially if it's just for household wear. A great winter time hobby to pick up when gardening season is over.

Trade! This can be as simple as hosting a clothing swap all the way up until trading items u grew/made for items they did! I barter with my coworkers all the time, just talk to them! I never would have known my coworker kept bees if she didn't really like my jellies and proposed a trade. I also trade any of my soft produce I don't have time to do anything with to my coworker with rabbits in exchange for poop for the garden.

Try to be in season from local sources such as garden stands, or just a local grocery store. One of our local farms grew bell peppers and was selling then 2 for a dollar! So we stocked up and dehydratedand froze lots of peppers for winter stews

Blended pumpkin guts makes an excellent pumpkin puree, even if you're just adding little bits of it to your dog's food :)

You can freeze a lot of stuff! Leftover spaghetti sauce, pumpkin puree, etc can all be frozen in a muffin pan and then put in bags for future use!

Forage! I personally mostly forage for greens and a few mushrooms I am confident in my ability in but that still bulks up your food supply as well as medicine supply! I made a salve using bartered beeswax and spring purple dead nettle and summer plantain (and some tea tree EO) for cuts and scrapes and it works miracles! My coworkers love it as well as friends and family

We really try to live by the waste not, want not and use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without phrases. Just figure out what works best for the life you live! Be creative!

Before I Say Goodnight

Chapter 17

a/n: besties this was a really tough one to right because I had my first case of writers block. Its shorter than what I would have thought but honestly, I love this chapter.

warnings: angst

word count: 2k

Other Chapters

Azriel remains still as death across Rhysand. He had come into the High Lord’s office to inform him about the updated information on Koschei. But there was something he was not saying, Rhysand had been known to withhold information before, Azriel understood the importance of discretion when it came to sensitive matters. Maybe it was his shifty gaze, how he was listening but not receiving the magnitude of the information, how he kept trying to bring up y/n without saying her name, how Amren’s scent lingered. He had not seen her since Winter Solstice, last thing he knew of her was that she was researching. What exactly, he did not know.  

But she had been here last night, and the last few times he had met with Rhysand her otherworldly smell haunted them. “Rhysand this is important, Koschei is recruiting an army to invade. We still have time to prepare a counter attack. My spies tell me they are still scattered enough that we could have three weeks to execute a plan”. His stare was void, dark circles under his eyes told Azriel that he had not slept. Whatever he had discussed with Amren had shaken, disturbed him. “Let me talk to Cassian and we can discuss a strategy”. Azriel waited for his dismissal but Rhysand spoke again “go to the Continent and see for yourself what is going on”. Azriel was confused, truly. His spies were the best, he had trained them himself, he knew that their information was trustworthy. “If you want to see for yourself I’m sure they’ll let you have a look-” “That was an order, Spymaster”, Rhysand snapped and Azriel nodded, disappearing into his shadows. 

Jolly, that’s what she told you to call her because Joy Lenna was “a dumb name for an apothecary”, was giving you a thorough list of ingredients for you to go out and buy “remember to buy the lavender from the farmer on the outskirts of town and the peaches from the merchant that has family in Summer…”. The list went on. You would have your hands full with the task for a few days. There were dozens of ingredients on the list and she was adamant in finding the best suppliers no matter the cost. It was a slightly overwhelming assignment since you could not winnow and, while winter was slowly letting up, it was still freezing temperatures. 

“Anything else?” Jolly looked at her inventory list and then at the list you had made “nope, that should be all”. She was so sweet it was almost difficult to be annoyed at the long list. “I better get started then” and with a wave of dismissal from your boss you stepped onto the windy streets and made your way to the docks, there was a list of fish that you wanted to get first so you didn’t spend tomorrow smelling like decomposing scales. 

By the time it was dark out you had managed to cross off most of the list. You walk into the town house and are immediately greeted by cool shadows. Excitedly curling up your legs and wrapping around your hair. “Az, I’m home!” You announce to your roommate, friend and object of all your affections. You hear shuffling from up the stairs and a few seconds later the sound of feet on the steps. He had probably gotten home a few minutes before you, his Ilirian leathers were still on, dried sweat coated his skin and his hair was endearingly disheveled. “We need to talk” your shoulders sag. “No hello, how are you, how was your day?” He shakes his head “later, first I have to tell you something” you didn’t like the look he was giving you, it wasn’t one you had seen before. His brows were furrowed, nostrils flared and you could see some fast healing bruises on his cheek “go ahead”. He takes your hand and brings you to the sitting room. “I need you to listen very carefully. I don’t want you to panic”. You gulp, throat closing up and nod for him to go on “I have to go on an assignment and I am not sure when I’ll be back. Rhysand has been asking about you a lot and I believe he suspects you are hiding your powers” none of this was a surprise. “There might be a war against Koschei, the one that cursed Vassa, remember?” One nod. “If that happens and I am not here. If Eris is not here. You need to run, you need to run North, get on a ship and get as far away as you can from Rhysand”. Eyes wide, the floor fell from beneath your feet. Try to formulate a question “Wha-Why?” He grabs your hands and you curse internally at the buzzing clouding every thought. Breathe. “I don’t think it would be safe. Recently he has been acting strange and it has gotten worse. He’s still Rhysand but something is consuming him and he is fixated on you. If worse comes to worse I don’t want you anywhere near him”. You’re not sure if the shaking in your hands is from the energy coursing through your veins or undiluted fear. “I wouldn’t tell you this if I did not think it was necessary. If he had not ordered me to go on the assignment myself I would stay here, with you”. There are too many questions. “Az, I- I don’t know wh- Am I safe now?” He nods, “Yes, for now. You should continue your work at the apothecary, meet with Elain and Lucien and Nesta and Feyre. Lay low, don’t put a bigger target on your back. If I’m gone and there is an attack on Prythian, use the chaos to flee. Don’t tell anyone. Don’t leave any letters. Just go. I’ll find you when it is over and we can work from there”. 

“You’d come find me?” His eyes widened a bit in slight offense. “Of course, unless you don’t want me to” you shake your head. “I do, but wouldn’t that mean leaving all of your family behind?” He squeezes your hands “that would be the worst case scenario, but I would choose you”.  Your heart skips “why?” “I can’t explain why, but I believe that my place is by your side, whether it's Prythian, the Northern Sea or the depths of Hell. It’s a feeling I can’t shake” warmth floods your chest and drowns the incessant buzzing down to a comforting murmur, the pent up energy now a gentle pulse. “I think so too” you say softer than you intended it. “Really?” Relief softens his features and you know he was nervous about the confession “yes, I’m not sure when it happened but when I was in the Human Lands I kept myself busy so I wouldn’t think of you. Because you are always on my mind and in the dungeons the thought of you kept me going and now… I love coming home to you. I could do it forever” you were looking at your intertwined hands now. His beautiful scarred hands that had held yours through uncertainty, healing and fear. “I like the idea of forever with you” his raspy voice brings you back to the present. You meet his hazel eyes and feel yourself leaning forward. He meets you halfway. Your lips meet for the first time in months and you melt at the taste of him. His scent is intoxicating. You bring your hands to the back of his neck and press yourself closer to him. He grabs your thighs and brings you to straddle his lap. The kiss deepens with the movement and you’re desperate for more. More of him. You pull at his leathers and he unbuttons your top. He releases your lips to trails kisses down your neck and towards your chest.  “Az?” “Mhm?” He answers in between nibbles. “Let's go upstairs” you barely finished the suggestion when he stands and carries you up the stairs and into his room. 

“Traveled the longest distance… through space and time… will bring great danger… created my fate, magic, earth, wind, fire and water… keeper of lightning… master of storms… a calm ocean will turn tempestuous at her will… many nations will bow to the queen with no crown…” Rhysand had memorized the prophecy weeks ago. He was not proud of how much time he had dedicated to spying on y/n and hoping that the prophecy was wrong and that she was just an unlucky person. But she had traveled through space and time, she brought Galgollem back with her through the portal and she was made with each one of the elements listed. He remembers the strike of lightning straight to her chest. He did not want to see her bring his court to their knees. The High Lord of Night would bow to no one. 

“When do you have to go?” You ask while tracing the lines of his chest. “Dawn”, you want to cry. The thought of being away from him, of him being in danger, of you being watched, of impending war feel like a pile of  bricks on your chest. “When should I expect you back?” The circles he’s drawing on your back lull your nerves and you try to memorize the slight tickle his callouses give you “if everything goes well I should be back in a week”. Seven days, you could do that. He would get the information, present it to Rhysand and put a stop to Koschei. Then you could assure the High Lord that you are no threat, that your powers are bening, and you and Azriel could build a life together. “If I am not back in a week, you know what to do” you nod. “I’ll miss you” he stops drawing the circles and pulls you closer to him. Breaths mingling. “I’ll miss you too” he kisses you. Your lips are raw at this point but his mouth feels like heaven. Giving in had felt so good, so right. Now there was a goodbye looming, what came after a mystery. 

The first rays of sunlight peered through the mountains, seeped through the windows and forced your lover to go. You did not leave his side until he lifted from the ground and took off in flight. You had washed eachothers bodies, you had memorized each scar, freckle and birthmark. You had eaten breakfast and helped him get dressed. All while dreading what was to come, a knot in your stomach gave you a the feeling of impending doom. “Az-” you had said to him on the doorstep “promise me you’ll be back safe”. 

“I can’t promise that” tears well in your eyes. It felt like the last goodbye. 

“Hey, but I swear to you that for as long as I am alive I’ll find my way to you. Always” he presses a kiss to your lips and wipes away a few tears. A new tattoo appears on his wrist. “Remember what I told you. Head North if something goes wrong” you nod and wrap your arms around him, burying your head in his chest. The sun was out now. He had to leave. Reluctantly you let go. He kissed you again. Soft and slow and savoring. Then he was gone. 

That was a week ago.

In a few hours the sun will come up and mark the eighth day of his absence.

I have worked at Starbucks for over 2 years now and I make the chalkboard signs for my store. While searching for inspiration on Pinterest, I discovered that someone made a Stranger Things chalkboard designating different drinks to different characters. While the artwork was great, the drinks just didn't match according to my opinion so I wanted to make my own. Without further ado, a baristas guide to Stranger Things drinks:

- Steve Harrington: We're starting off with one of the more simple to order drinks. There's no mods or alternatives, just a pure, sweet drink. Steve is a Caramel Ribbon Crunch. He's layered and multifaceted the same way the drink has separate layers. He's sweet, sometimes too sweet for his own good, but he's cool as ice. Served drizzled and well topped (if you know what I mean 😉)

-Eddie Munson: My best friend Maya works with me and introduced me to this drink and I can't think of anything better for Eddie. You get a cup of lemonade, add some ice, pour a blonde espresso shot on top, and voila: The Cigarette Butt. It's got a sweetish smokey flavor, a little sour, a little weird. People either love it or hate it without giving it a try.

-Nancy Wheeler: I wanted to do something sensible for Nancy but something that would also be strong for a badass like Nancy. We often say that Iced Americanos are the hot girl drink so I knew I wanted it to be and Iced Americano. As for the extras, I wanted it to be blonde ristretto. Blonde Ristretto shots are the BEST kinda shots so it fits one of the best characters. As for cream: Almond Milk. She's giving lactose intolerant but in a "I prefer almond milk to soy milk" kinda way. She's not pretentious about it, but maybe a little.

-Robin Buckley: I was going back and forth with Robin. I had multiple ideas but narrowed it down to two. Number 1. Iced Vanilla Matcha with coconut milk OR Number 2. An Iced Chai with brown sugar syrup and oat milk. Either way, both scream Queer and Quirky. I also get a sort of library soft vibe from her. I'm picturing tans and old books, soft pastels, those kinda things. Arguably that's more a Nancy vibe as well but Robin is light academia and Nancy is dark.

- Jonathan Byers: This is a man that listens to good music and spends his day taking photographs and getting high. He's a sweater and slacks, a wallflower, the quiet calm in a chaotic storm. He's a London Fog, specifically with soy milk. Underappreciated and sometimes forgotten, this is a true pillar in every way. Teas have always been there and always will be, much like the steady reliability of Jonathan. The flavors are gentle and when paired with the vanilla it creates something complex and delightful.

- Argyle: This brochacho does NOT need coffee. He's bright and colorful, slightly overwhelming at times, but full of zest. When thinking of him, I wanted to choose the brightest, most colorful drink I could. He's a Mango Dragonfruit Lemonade with peach juice and pineapple pieces. This drink is the Starbucks ocean of flavor, but the pineapple comes freeze dried in a bag. Remember: Try before you deny.

- Hopper: I was going to leave this as just the Fruity Six, but I can't resist. Hopper is the McDonald's Dad. Hopper is a cup of black coffee.

Freeze dried peaches - she's so gentle. I love her.

[goodnessandgrief]

When I’m feeling depressed, it can be nearly impossible to take care of myself, and that includes eating. Here’s a list of some foods that require little to no effort (aka: can be eaten right out of the package or just need to be microwaved), mainly for my personal reference, but also so others can find easier alternatives when they’re struggling.

Water bottles or canned water - stay hydrated!!

vegetables - green beans, peas, corn, black/kidney/pinto beans, chickpeas (all canned or microwaveable frozen bags) - I’ve also tried Harvest Snaps, which are baked snap peas & they’re v good

Fruit - grapes, raisins (or any other dried fruit like apricots/dates), mandarin oranges, apples, applesauce cups, bananas, pears, peaches, etc. (most fruits require no prep anyway, but especially if they’re canned - you can also buy frozen bags)

Canned soup or chicken, beef, or veggie broth

Pasta (ramen, spaghetti, mac and cheese, chow mein) or instant rice are my go-tos. You can buy these in individual cups or bulk packs.

Any microwaveable food - frozen/tv dinners, burritos, toaster strudels (they make an egg bacon & cheese version too!), mini pizzas, breakfast sandwiches… there’s a lot you could do here :)

Dairy - Yogurt, cheese sticks, (or just straight up eat cheese slices, there are no rules here), cottage cheese, almond/oat/soy milk, powdered milk (if you want something shelf-stable)

Grains & carbs - cereal, crackers, chips, popcorn, toast or bagels (I’ve eaten plain bread before tbh and it kinda slaps), Oatmeal (these packets are dinosaur themed & have little sugar eggs!! - https://www.quakeroats.com/products/hot-cereals/instant-oatmeal/dinosaur-eggs)

Nuts - peanuts, peanut butter, almonds, cashews, walnuts, trail mix, etc.

Meat - deli turkey, trail bologna, spam, jerky, frozen chicken strips or nuggets, Morningstar vegetarian corn dogs, canned tuna

Eggs

Fast food or take-out is also a good option if you don’t feel like making anything yourself.

A little tip - most foods you would take on a camping or hiking trip are great! for some, all you need to do is add water & heat it up. they are usually on the expensive side, though!! here’s some I’ve found that are decent:

https://mountainhouse.com/

Things to keep on hand for particularly bad days:

⁠Boost/ensure/Soylent - liquid meals for when the idea of chewing or mixing anything is too much.

⁠disposable cutlery/bowls/utensils so you don’t have more dishes to worry about.

Multivitamins

Liquid IV, Gatorade, or some other form of electrolytes. It’s too easy to get dehydrated!

If you do have a little energy to cook or make something, here’s some ideas:

If you have a blender: frozen spinach + frozen banana + shelf stable almond milk + peanut butter makes a great smoothie.

frozen fruit + frozen spinach/kale for smoothies

Adding whey protein makes it more filling.

⁠dried pasta + jarred pasta sauce (Rao’s is low sugar and awesome, but pricey) + frozen meatballs

Boil tortellini on hand. Its as easy as boiling water. You can eat it plain, add a spoonful of pesto, sprinkle with a little olive oil or butter and some garlic salt, or pour it back in the pan after draining and add a little pasta sauce

⁠frozen fried rice + frozen stir fry veggies

⁠favorite frozen protein and veggies for sheet pan meals

⁠canned refried beans with a tortilla and some cheese to microwave, can add extra toppings too

⁠oatmeal + pb + dried fruit of choice

⁠rice cakes + pb + jam (or substitute bread if you have it)

Rotisserie chicken in a salad, soup, sandwich or wrap

Frozen salmon with some veggies

air fryer foods - chicken nuggets, tenders, fries, etc. You can also toss different vegetables (baby carrots, Brussels sprouts, etc.) in a little olive oil and throw them in there

chicken broth & frozen dumplings - you can dress it up a little with some miso, soy sauce or other seasonings. You could also add some frozen vegetables.

snack type food - a combination of canned Garbanzo beans and black olives. The olives are salty enough that you can get low sodium beans and it will still taste good.

A lot of these ideas I stole from the good people of Reddit (particularly r/depressionmeals)!Here’s the post I referenced if you’d like to look further into it:

Hii 🥰

I found these picture prompts. I thought they might inspire you. You can create anything you’d like. Moodbaords, edits, or even write a story. Whatever makes you happy.

The most important thing is that you have fun (don’t feel pressured to answer right away, you can answer the ask whenever you have time or feel inspired) 🥰

Thank you so much for this ask, sweet sunshine! Here's a quick drabble -- I love it when the inspiration flows, and you just sit down to write, and a fully formed scene just happens in one hit! Thank you so much for inspiring it!! 💗🌺

(I wound up writing a piece for one of my Venandi OCs, Delphine, set before the events of SICSIG)

--Chroma--

Delphine was colourblind before vampirism.

Before the hush and burn of it blazed through her cells, the world was a muddied tangle of blues and browns and yellows. She’d never really told anyone — they’d put her struggles down to the throes of nascent vampirism.

Of course she could see more. Hear more, taste more; every turning brought with it a brand new understanding of a world you thought you’d always known. It peeled back secrets from the fleshy layers of the world, let the pulp sit raw beneath a sun turned a stranger.

They didn’t know the reason the sunset sparked tears in her eyes was so much more than that.

She came to the hilltop often, these days.

She’d marvel at the sheer colour of the sky, the water. The flowers, ever these elusive things, now reached for her with brilliant, silk-soft fingertips.

Coral, magenta, fuchsia, peach. So starkly vibrant against the green of the leaves — emerald, this shade was called. Delphine thought the word with a kiss of tenderness.

This one, forest green. That one, mint.

She plucked a chocolate from the little container resting on her knees, felt the crack of it’s hard shell beneath gleaming teeth. Favour flooded her as it always did — nothing quite came close to the velvet heat of blood, these days, but chocolate came a close second. The depth of it, the richness…

It seemed every little thing in life offered up its own unique mystery. Ones she had millenia ahead of her to discover.

The evening sun kissed the bare slopes of her shoulders. She looked at the chocolate and smiled, ruby flecks of freeze-dried raspberry dotted about the pistachio praline.

Val said she’d developed a sweet tooth along with her fangs.

Delphine was just thrilled to see the difference between the two. Every bite brought joy alongside it, delight.

Every hidden hue was nothing short of a miracle.

Ooh if you're still taking prompts I'm submitting one for Parkner (can't wait for the last chapter of a peach like you btw!) I liked the idea of a combo of #8 and #46 or just #28 because werewolves!

Heeelllloooooo dear darling anon. Do you remember me? Do you still read parkner? You sent this prompt in April of 2022 and Congratulations!! I'm finally filling it over a year later 😬 sorryyy

These prompts are from this prompt list. I was tempted by 28.) werewolf au. both of them are werewolves, which was surprising bc I've been exhausted on werewolves (and vampires) for a while now, but I thought it would be fun if it was human Ned's POV scrambling to keep Peter's big hairy secret from their new roommate, Harley, that they found on craiglist, only to come home one day after months of scrambling to cover claw marks and sweep up tufts of fur to find not one but two werewolves sacked out on the couch, one blond and one brunet, and realize he'd been cleaning up after both of them and they need to have a serious conversation once they're all on two legs again.

BUT I decided not to go that route because a combo of 8 and 46 was just too alluring.

8.) every single kiss so far has been a disaster but it’s really funny + 46.) don’t have a one night stand with your coworker on the spaceship

Is your memory refreshed dear anon? Is this at all familiar? Regardless! I wrote the thing and per the norm I took it too far so here's a snippet of the beginning and a link to ao3 where you can read the other 8k assuming you still read parkner 🫠

adventures with hair dye and feelings — In Space!

or 5 times Harley and Peter don’t kiss + 1 time they do (in space!)

A light breeze stirs the early morning fog that crowds the Avengers compound and whites out the world to none but their research team of four. Tony, their self-appointed leader, clears his throat and looks down his nose at them. Since he’s the shortest this is only possible thanks to the incline of the spaceship’s docking ramp and his position at the head of it.

He pitches his voice to carry. “Before we embark on this scientific expedition I’m going to lay down some very strict rules.”

On Peter’s right, Bruce shifts and huffs impatiently.

“Hey, this is serious, Jolly Green. Listen up.” Tony holds up five fingers. “Rule number five, anybody that messes with my music gets thrown out the airlock, no exceptions.”

On Peter’s left, Harley snorts.

“Yeah, I’m talking to you, Johnny Cash. Mitts off or you’re as good as freeze dried and vacuum sealed. Rule number four, no fragrances. That means no body spray, no candles, and no air fresheners. If I catch so much as a whiff of an artificial scent, I’ll make the owner eat it. Rule number three…”

He begins to pace across the width of the ramp.

“No sticky business. Sorry kid but we’re not chancing a heart attack in space because you get the itch to pace the ceiling and scare poor Brucie into thinking he's in Alien. Which brings us to rule number two, don’t set off the green rage monster.”

“Tony—,”

“That one’s for me,” he says over Bruce. “I can be fair and include myself in the rules.” He stops pacing and looms over them. “The last rule is the most important so I need your undivided attention. Are you listening?”

He looks unmistakably from Peter to Harley then back to Peter. Peter nods.

“Get on with it, old man.” Harley shifts his one allotted bag higher on his shoulder. “Some of us would like to breach atmo before the heat death of the universe.”

Tony eyeballs him but doesn’t rise to his bait like he usually does. His gaze shifts and Peter finds himself drawing up to his full height under his unlaughing stare.

“Rule number one, do not have a one-night stand with your coworker on the spaceship.”

A sliver of Peter’s soul slaws off and dies.

a/n: I've faced some drastic changes lately and I don't think I can finish this fic anymore. It's actually been sitting in my drafts for months now but for some reason, I just can't post it. I know it hasn't gotten to the "exciting part" yet so I'll try my best but just in case I can't, at least I've told you guys about it (｡•́‿•̀｡)

Wordcount: 1.5k

As the sun peeked through the curtains, (Y/N) slowly strayed from her slumber. The warm morning welcomed her as she sat up and stretched. Erwin has left earlier, he told her that there’s no need for her to cook breakfast for him for then on. It was quite a relief since she struggles to think of what to cook every morning and to get up before the sun has even rose.

She got up from the bed, slipping on her slippers and proceeded to the windows. She slowly pulled the curtain blinds up, narrowing her eyes a bit as the bright sun meet her face. The clock ticked 7:00 and (Y/N) headed to her closet. She sat down, facing her vanity and there, she picked her comb from one of the drawers. She combed her hair gently, untangling the strands that came from when she slept. She yawned and grabbed a hair tie.

She tied her hair into a bun before heading to the bathroom. There, she brushed her teeth thoroughly. She brushed for who-knows how long before gargling the minty cold mouthwash. Afterwards, she gently washed her face with soap and water. Then, she took her face towel and patted her face, gently drying it up. The clock ticked 7:10 and since it was still early, (Y/N) decided she’ll bathe first before eating breakfast.

She once again entered her closet and spent a good 5 minutes choosing what to wear. She picked a white blouse and paired them with a peach skirt. She then went to the bathroom and opened the shower. She measured the water temperature, making sure that its warm enough for her to not freeze. After she found perfect temp, she lifted her shirt up and pulled her pants down. She threw them to the direction of their laundry basket and cheered for herself as they successfully shoot.

(Y/N) carefully entered the shower, sighing as the warm water reached her body. She basked in the warm feeling of the water caressing her for a couple of minutes before she started to apply shampoo on her hair and scrubbed her body with a loofa. She hummed a song while enjoying her shower and it didn’t take for the song she was humming to finish until she’s done.

She took a towel and dried herself. She wrapped the towel around herself and finally, she stepped out of the shower. She first dried her hair and then she took her time getting dressed. Afterwards, she headed to her closet vanity to apply powder on her face and lip gloss on her lips. She styled her hair with a basic tie and finally, she headed out.

The walk to the park felt shorter than usual, probably because of her fast walking pace that was caused by her good morning energy. A familiar lady greeted her “good morning” as they walk pass each other. She greeted the lady back and gave her a smile. (Y/N) recognized her as the lady whom she asked how to get herself a taxi a few days prior.

As (Y/N) reached the park, she decided to order on one of the cafés and eat on one of the park benches. She headed straight to a small café. As she entered the glass door, a small ring from the bell could be heard. It felt like everyone and everything stopped for a second to take a look at her.

The inside wasn’t so busy, the people are quietly eating, some are chit-chatting but aren’t loud enough to become obnoxious. (Y/N) took in the sight of the café. The beige and woods, the cabin feel to it, it feels nice, it feels calming. She trudged towards the counter where the cashier greeted her.

“Good morning, ma’am. What can I get for you?” the woman behind the counter asked.

(Y/N) took a good look at the menu before she replied, “I’ll have an avocado toast with hot chocolate. And also, a pair of waffles, stuffed with cookies and cream.”

“Would you dine in or take out?”

“Take out, please.”

“To whom shall I name the order?”

“(Y/N) (L-” ‘My surname isn’t (L/N) now…’

“(Y/N) Smith.” She simply said

“Alright, Miss Smith. You can sit there while you wait for your order, thank you.” The woman said as she stretched her arm to her right, pointing out where the waiting area is.

(Y/N) sat on one of the chairs. There, she quietly waited for her food as she contemplated. That was the first time that she used a different surname. A small smile made its way to her lips.

As she looked around her surroundings, she heard calming music, playing throughout the café. The speakers, which were hanging tightly by the corners, were where the music are coming from.

As minutes gone by, (Y/N) heard a bell from the counter. She looked at where the sound came from and as she did, she heard a woman spoke through the mic, “Order for (Y/N) Smith, please. (Y/N) Smith.”

(Y/N) stood up and took her food. She thanked the cashier and exited the café. She looked around for empty benches as she walked outside the building. ‘There!’ (Y/N) made her way to a bench. She sat down and took her toast from the bag. She took a deep breath as she basked in the fresh morning air.

The bench that she was sitting on was facing the playgrounds but is far enough for children to run around to. (Y/N) ate quietly as she watched the children go about their businesses. Some are playing on the swing, some are on the seesaw. Some of them were climbing the monkey bars and some are simply running around. On the other benches around the playground, (Y/N) saw who seems to be the children’s parents. They were chatting and watching their children play. (Y/N) observed quietly as she finish her food.

The walk back home seemed long as (Y/N) finished her hot chocolate halfway through. Without something to do other than walk and look around, her walk became boring. She also would like to have some more hot choco, ‘I should’ve bought two.’ Sigh.

As she entered the house, she took of her shoes and wore a fluffy slipper instead. She prefer them since shoes are a little hot to wear and they also feel hard and uncomfy when used against tiles. (Y/N) headed to the living room and inspected. The room is neat, no dust, no dirt, nothing to clean. Sigh, she has nothing to do.

(Y/N) isn’t used to relaxing on places other than her room and now, she’s on a different home and shares the bed with Erwin. ‘Yes! I’m on a different place now. Alone. I can try to relax here and watch. After all, I DO my chores. I clean the house, I cook the meals, and I wash the dishes.’

Having been decided to lazy around on the living room, (Y/N) sat down on the couch and tried to relax. She rested her back on the soft cushions and took one from her side to hug. She leaned over the cushion and grabbed the remote control from the center table. She pressed the power button and entered the show that she watches. ‘I’ll start doing my chores later. At 2:30, yep.’

||

(Y/N) slowly opened her eyes. The sight of the opened television welcome her and she blinked furiously at it. ‘W-what? Why am I-’ (Y/N) slowly stood up. She looked at the window on her right, it’s already dark. She grabbed the remote control and shut the TV off. ‘What time is it?’ She looked at the clock hanging by the wall near the window, 6:50.

(Y/N) remembered feeling incredibly sleepy while watching her show earlier. She also remembered watching plenty of episodes. She grunted. ‘I should start cooking dinner.’

In the kitchen, (Y/N) started looking for something to cook. Inside the chiller, she saw a fillet. ‘Fish? Aren’t there chicken here? I could’ve sworn I bought a pack a while back…’ (Y/N) started looking further, taking raw things in and out, up and down from the chiller. There’s no chicken fillet in sight. Having been sure that she bought one, she closed the chiller and looked on the freezer instead. ‘There!’ She grab hold of the plastic and tried to pull it out. ‘It’s frozen.’

After a while of struggling to take the frozen chicken fillet out of the freezer and thawing it, (Y/N) started to heat a pan and prepare the food for frying. She carefully put the fillets on the pan, letting them swim on boiling hot oil. She turned the fillets upon being satisfied with the way it looks, repeating the same process until all of them are cooked.

7:25

‘Dinner is served.’

(Y/N) sat quietly on the dining room, waiting for Erwin to arrive. It’s 7:30 and the food is starting to get colder by each passing minute. It’s just like last night. And the night before. ‘And… the night before, I guess…’ She’s not quite sure. It has been happening often, recently. ‘Is Erwin really that busy? I mean, maybe, he does own a company. I’ll give him a call, if he don’t answer it, I’ll eat dinner. But it’s not like I’m really hungry-’ Grumble. ‘Nevermind…’

it’s now canon that drift likes yogurt. I swear oh my god I can just tell that he is a yogurt connoisseur. I bet ratchet wakes up at night to find drift gone and goes to the kitchen and drift is there with his strawberry yogurt with granola and honey and sliced strawberries. Rodimus needs to have a serious conversation with drift and the entire time drift is enjoying a peach yogurt with some stuff on it and rodimus is so confused. Drift sits at the table kicking his feet smiling while he munches away on some yogurt. You can totally see it. You’re imagining it. “Hey drift what did you bring for-“ (drift begins to take out bags of granola, sliced almonds, freeze dried fruit slices, honey, sprinkles, choclate chips, and a teensy little fancy desert spoon). Drift spends all of his and ratchets spending money on new types of yogurt. Drift can consume one of those small plastic yoplait creamsicle yogurts in less than thirty seconds. Drift hosts a yogurt convention on the lost light once every 3 months. He’s serious about it you can’t give him any sort of excuse as to why it’s bad. If you diss yogurt he will slice you up with his swords. It’s real guys okay okay okay
