Bloody Hearts Bingo Day 18

Prompt: Yum Yum, General | Eating food offered to them before realizing that it wasn't what they thought it was

To most people, the situation Chad found himself in with his closest friends would be straight out of a horror movie. Bound hand and foot (and shoulder and leg and abdomen, albeit with only semi-permanent fastenings instead of the triple-layered leather cuffs) to lab tables, deep in the underground lair of a mad scientist who had already been convicted of multiple crimes against 'humanity'. Condsidering the cocktail of liquid steadily seeping into his arm via a tangle of IV cords and the proof that the air could be containing a large number of drugs, he really should have been worrying.

He wasn't. He hadn't worried about whatever Urahara was doing for a while. At the end of the day, Urahara didn't want permanent harm, chased away threats, helped them be more capable of dealing with other problems, and took better care of them than literally anyone else ever had. Even now, Chad was glad for the rest- Shinigami training had been grueling, meant for grown adults with a decade of experience under their belt and not four mostly-self-taught teenagers not even through with puberty. In the lab, bound to the table, the need to be aware of every possible danger was nonexistent.

Urahara tapped at his jaw and he opened his mouth for what turned out to be a small handful of fruit- grapes, pitted cherries, and strawberries. Chad chewed, tucking most of the fruit into his cheek to savor each piece. Urahara nodded approvingly, patted his face (the opposite side of most of the fruit, fortunately), and walked off to feed the others. Occasionally, he adjusted some of the drips or made a few notes, but for the most part it was quiet, only the sound of contented chewing and the background noise of the lab (quiet beeps, things bubbling, air moving) filling the air.

Food kept coming, even as Chad considered dozing for a bit. He didn't need to be aware of anything- just open his mouth whenever Urahara tapped at his jaw and eat whatever was offered. Sometimes, he'd need to take the morsel or be aware enough not to cause a mess (like the slices of very juicy peach) but most of the food didn't even require his eyes to be open.

Some of the food was crunchy- carrot sticks, celery, cucumber, asparagus. Some of it was sticky- fresh fruit, not all of it pitted (though Urahara laughed at the attempts to spit the pits at him), some of it was sweet- honey-roasted nuts and yogurt crickets, some of it was spicy- jalapeno cashews and bits and pieces of pepper, some of it was doughy- various dumplings and bits of buns. All of it was good.

When a bit of meat was tucked between his lips, Chad hardly noticed. It was good- spiced, with a bit of barbeque sauce, and tender enough to fall to pieces without his teeth even needing to get involved. Tsukabishi had really done a good job, Chad mused, then let his thoughts fall back apart into his doze. More meat followed, juicy morsels bursting with flavor.

When the first piece that was still flesh-warm and bloody was put in his mouth, Chad might have been concerned, but he was too distracted with the flavor that burst across his tongue- it was amazing, and despite the fact that he'd actually eaten a fair amount his stomach growled, demanding more. Urahara laughed again, tucking a larger, fattier morsel into his mouth for him to chew on. The next chunk was tougher, more gristley, but Chad ate that up too, along with the next, and the next.

Urahara murmured praise in his ear- he was doing so well, he'd done such a good job, just a few more and then he could sleep, did that sound nice? The next piece still had bone in it, but Chad had been raised right- he scraped all the meat off the bone that he could, then sucked the marrow clean and spat the empty bit of bone at Urahara. That got him head scratches, which in turn pushed him that much further towards sleep.

"Two more," he heard, but words hardly mattered when he was feeling so comfortable. The next piece had what felt like fur on it, and that took a little wrangling- he swallowed it, then coughed for a bit until the feeling that tufts of fur had gotten stuck in his throat vanished. The final piece- it took a bit of time for the words to register in his brain- seemed to be still squirming, but Chad obediently chewed, letting the tangy iron flavor burst between his teeth, then drifted off to sleep with the echoing of Urahara's pleased words in his ears.

Sam Reid: I ate so many of those photos. They were made of rice paper, so they stuck to the roof of my mouth. There were a few where I just shoved the whole photo into my mouth, but that didn’t work, so I had to eat it. It was like eating a sweet cake. They were stuck to the roof of my mouth and I couldn’t keep talking.

They’re saying mean things about Louis’ photos, so he’s going, “Fuck you! You took a beautiful photograph. Don’t listen to that guy. I’ll eat it.”

Jacob Anderson: I loved it so much.

Hold on. Harrow never actually learned about Gideon's origins, right? She'd checked out by the time Gideon learned and like... there was a lot going on when she finally woke up. There might be more that happened after Alecto also woke up that we just haven't seen yet, but as far as we know she's just now finding out about it or hasn't quite yet. But I just noticed—

Harrow the Ninth, Chapter 49

Nona the Ninth, 24

Gideon has Wake's jaw (among other features) and John's eyes (I assume shape too) and brows. Harrow subconsciously fucking clocked the resemblance. (Edit to clarify: Like, she saw Wake's face, and by then she'd remembered Gideon, but subconsciously clocked "this is almost Gideon's face, this part is spot on, but these parts are Wrong." But given one of the AUs...)

Anatomist Mercymorn, who knows the human body beyond mortal comprehension and who has been close to John for 10,000 years, who had actively worried the new Ninth baby might have been John's kid, saw a young woman she knew to be the Ninth's cavalier who looked strikingly like Wake and suspiciously wasn't decomposing, and still didn't recognize John's features or think to check her eye color. She was so absolutely convinced Blood of Eden must just be incompetent and wrong that she barely looked.

Yet Harrowhark, who had specifically forced herself to forget Gideon existed, still recognized enough that when she started to remember her brain supplied the Divine Highness suitor AU. Truly one of the most down bad characters of all fucking time.

I thought the quality was gonna be nuked, BUT IT TURNED OUT GOOD

I'm so happy with these drawings, I LOVE STONE AND EGGMAN THEY'RE SO AWESOME AND THEY HAVE SUCH A GREAT DYNAMIC.

I would LOVE for a Sonic-mania-esque game but with agent Stone sprites to go along in cutscenes, even better if there is an agent Stone miniboss. I JUST NEED A SPRITE STONE TO BE IN A GAME. I've been going insane over Sonic and started playing the games and it is so much fun...

I think it needs to be said in light of VERY recent events that violence on the MAGA front is about to increase tenfold. They will see this as permission to carry out the violence they've been promising since day one. Don't fearmonger, just keep yourselves and your families wary. Please stay safe out there, americans.
