#i want to go to the ramen dimension :(

[malintzyn]

anime is normally horny - i understand this

and usually i dont watch the overly horny ones, it bores me and is mostly kinda uncomfortable.

but i didnt expect this anime to be THIS horny (even if the first thing they talked abt was the preference of ass over boobs(and All they talk about is BOOBS))

yet i am so fucking captivated

its funny, its weird, its beautiful, its so STUPID!!

overall, this is a great show!

[licensedproldier]

highlights from the brennan hank interview (aka taking notes on things that i liked or didn't know)

HE STARTED ATTENDING COLLEGE WHEN HE WAS 14?????

immediate jump off topic from hank to ask him about d20 (this happened while fhjy was airing)

"and the greatest project of all, my wonderful family with my wife isabella roland"

bonding over their children

brennan and hank's son both corrected their father's bedtime stories 💀

many elaine lee shoutouts

"his dad met my mom and fell in love" "you did that" "we did that, parent-trapped them"

was pulled out of school in 4th grade for homeschooling because the bullying was so bad....

started a company when they (he and his brother) were fifteen?? called Bootleg Adventures

hank's little awed hiss of "what" to the above piece of information

GOT PART OWNERSHIP OF THE WAYFINDER COMPANY AT 15

"knowledge is something that, when you share it, there's just more. there's no scarcity"

hank staring off into space slightly looking like brennan just blew his mind (we're 11 minutes in)

"we were 14 year old philosophy majors, if you can imagine anything more normal than that"

brennan unable to resist doing fun voices for the people he talks about

he wouldve loved to work at wayfinder full time and said back then hey maybe ill become a famous internet comedian or something and that's how i can help camp. now he's got texts from the staff saying how a bunch of dimension 20 fans have joined and its been a huge boon for them that way 🥺

"it's funny when a really bad plan works. dont make that plan."

"every new community-- is this too sad? no its true" THOSE THINGS ARE NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE

anyway "for every new community i start with the presupposition that someone is going to pick me up and put me in the trash can" 😭

hank sniping him through the duplex door with "[when you do that] you kind of imagine yourself to be the value you're delivering rather than yourself, or that your value is in what you deliver and not who you are" and brennan going 😐 "that's a great point man"

both of them turning to do pained smiles at the camera 😭

"i think the value is in who you are" "that's really sweet i appreciate that" "but i also love that you deliver"

brennan quoting mary oliver

im starting to feel a little called out guys

robert mckee "stories are not about their premises they're about their conclusions"

brennan also staring off into space slightly thinking about what hank said

the REAL college advice brennan is giving is reportedly "put an egg in your ramen" because thats how you stop your eyes from going "matte finish"

shoutout to vanessa's dumplings for keeping this man alive

"i am ozymandias nerd of nerds, gaze upon my banner and despair"

the moment he felt like something changed was walking into C2E2 and seeing that the biggest hanging banner in the convention hall was of fantasy high. or, as brennan put it, "my dumb face"

"my friends moved in with their partners, the apartment i had with them scattered to the wind, the woman i was dating dumped me after three weeks, and i won a bunch of money on Who Wants to Be a Millionare" "wh- what???"

he taught emily, murph, siobhan, and zac how to play dnd 🥺 and was running a home game for lou at the same time

got hired at um, actually because his name was getting around for being a big dork

zac stepped down from troopers and sam liked brennan's character from a previous casting call (tim curry eating pizza) so he brought him in

its very charming the detail with which brennan remembers these important moments in his life

became a full time cast member in the same week he started dating izzy! "hard to beat week gang!"

"they told us they were launching dropout and everyone had to make a show, which, if you're been trying to make a show your whole life, that's like saying 'bad news guys, there's 24 birthday cakes in the break room and everyone has to eat a whole birthday cake'."

brennan was making a document for a market pitch on an actual-play show when he was called into office and THEY pitched HIM the idea of an actual-play show

"i guess i have tumbled through life to end up here ready to do this"

truly like. one of the guys of all time.

"some of the things that didn't make sense about you make more sense now" hank talking indirectly about how amazing he found all the moving parts of mentopolis and now getting to hear about how long and how many time he's done storytelling it makes sense

"yeah its the one skill"

"i wanted to tell stories before i was anything else"

🎉anti-capitalist rant🎉

"people used to say 'is ucb a cult' and i'd say 'in a cult, somebody is making money'"

HIGH FIVE!!!

@iamareader-01-blog @purpleblueberries @daydreamsandcaffeine @honeylime08

kpkpkpkp

The next week is absolutely miserable. I’ve been subsisting on a diet of ramen, ice cream, and reality TV. I tried to shake off my mood by polishing all of the diamonds in my vault, but I barely got halfway through before I gave up. My heart just wasn’t in it.  

The only time I see Peeta all week is during Criminology 101, a few days after the break-up. He sits as far as humanly possible away from me in the cavernous lecture hall, his shoulders slumped, as he mindlessly taps a pencil on the desk. I keep my eyes averted, but when I do summon the courage to look, he’s staring out the window.

I faithfully continue patrolling every night, hoping flirting with Spidey will do me some good. After all, now that Peeta and I are over, I can flirt with Spidey totally guilt-free.

Which would be great, except I can’t find him.

Spider-Man isn’t patrolling by his favorite pizza shop in Midtown, or hanging upside down from the Brooklyn Bridge. He isn’t on top of the Empire State Building, which I had to check by taking the elevator while in costume with some very confused tourists.

Spidey’s never disappeared like this. Sure, we don’t patrol every night, but this is completely new, and worrying. What if he’s in trouble?

I double my efforts, searching the city, and even calling Poison Ivy to see if her underground network has any leads, but there’s nothing. No chatter about his whereabouts, no sightings posted on the message boards. So a week passes, and I’m very close to freaking out and calling hospitals and morgues, when one day I’m prowling the top of the Flatiron building and Spidey lands softly beside me, cool as a cucumber.

“Hey Cat.”

“What the hell!” I try to punch him in the shoulder, but he dodges. Damn those Spidey reflexes. “Where have you been?”

“Around.”

“Oh, come on. You left me!”

He sighs. “It’s been a shitty week.”

“Yeah? You and me, both. It would’ve been better if I’d at least known where you were! I thought you were dead in a gutter somewhere!”

“Aw, I had no idea you cared about me so much,” he says, but there’s nothing flirtatious or playful about his tone.

I narrow my eyes. 

“Go AWOL like that again and I’m going straight back to Tiffany’s, the hero life be damned-”

“I needed space from you, OK?” he exclaims. “I’m allowed to be upset!“

I’m so confused that I don’t even know what to say. I card my fingers through the platinum strands of my wig. I’m running through various theories such as Spider-Man has been abducted and replaced with an alternate dimension Spider-Man, or maybe he’s just lost his mind in general, but before I can figure it out, Spidey has tackled me to the floor.

“Stay down,” he says, but it’s too late. There’s a metallic whirring sound above us, way too close, and I realize why Spidey knocked me to the roof. We both attempt to scramble out of the way, but sharp metal talons seize me around the ribs, gripping so tightly I’m fighting to breathe.

“Well, well, well,” says the Vulture.

Thinking on Meddlesome Ninjas…

I think how the Gang gets into the Naruto world is that they were busy dealing with a Wizard when at the same time Obito was being his stalker self and watching Kakashi. The universes were close enough that the magic the wizard used smacked into the dimension bullshit and then…

Kakashi: *dramatically sighing at the memorial stone*

Portal: YEET! *a bunch of young adults, a dog and some old guy come out of nowhere with an orange masked guy*

Kakashi: WHAT?! *ninja time*

It launches into this huge thing where the gang have to stop the wizard, the orange mask guy vanished and Kakashi ends up helping with the wizard who ends up knifed cause ninjas.

They’re then taken to T&I because suspicious. Luckily they all know Japanese: Daphne because her parents had buisness partners and they wanted to make a good impression so she learned and kept it up. Velma because of research reasons and like translations only go so far so it’s best to read the source materials and of COURSE she also learned to speak it cause why wouldn’t she? Shaggy learned it from a guy in his unit while he was in the army, and then kept it up more so when he learned how to cook because he likes Japanese food. Scooby picked it up from Shaggy. Fred is a weeb so he learned it to.

So after a few days they all came to the conclusions of magic and jutsu gone wrong, remembering the orange guy. So the entire population knows some rando was around. Yikes. And now the gang can’t go home.

Which for some of them? Sucks. Velma loves her grandpa who raised her and now he’s gonna die without her ever seeing him again. Fred mourns his parents so deeply it hurts. Daphne and Shaggy? Shaggy’s an orphan and Daphne got disowned for going off to solve mysteries. They’re good.

The group settles in. Fred’s skill with traps is noted and he somehow gets drafted to teach at the academy. Daphne’s fashion and ability to pick things out gets her noticed by T&I along with the infiltration units. Velma throws herself into learning and then suddenly she’s in research going through things. Shaggy, former army and not into doing that again after what happened (ninja gear what happened and accept it) wanders until he gets a job at a ramen stand.

Ya’ll know where this is going. Sort of.

Naruto just entered the academy and Fred already notices how stiff people are around this kid. He’s instantly suspicious. He tells his friends this. They begin to pick apart the mystery.

Well except Shaggy who meets the kid at work, listens to things and goes to the Hokage with his friends.

Shaggy: like dude, your people suck at keeping secrets man.

Sarutobi: oh?

Shaggy: Velma found mention of Jinchuriki in a book, and the Kyuubi attacked six years ago. Then I overheard a bunch of people saying Naruto is a demon brat. Like dude.

This leads to Sarutobi waking up a bit and paying attention to shit that’s going down because Danzo was convincing him shit was fine.

Hahahahhaha… no.

Then one day at their place Shaggy shows up with Naruto and goes: I have a son now.

And the gang accepts it and they all live happily, even as other romances enters their life such as Velma helping figure out how to rip a curse seal off someone which leads to her getting jumped by Anko. Then Daphne dragging Fred to offialize a marriage. And Shaggy seducing Chouza along with his wife with food.

And of course the baby gang happens but that’s a little later.

Krang Pie Chapter 5

Warnings: gore, torture, krang cooked alive

[first] [previous][next]

Chapter 5

When Mikey returned to his room the next day and pulled out the krang, it was still writhing around. The wound had stopped bleeding and the stump already began to heal. Still, it squirmed around as when he had first cut it off.

“Don’t you think you’re being a bit dramatic?” he asked it. “Or are krangs just really sensitive to pain?”

It glared at him, face contorted in agony. “You blithering idiot. Even if my limb was detached, I still feel a connection to it. We evolved that trait so we could keep track of the split one.”

That was something he hadn’t considered when he bit the krang. It would just grow into a new one. Did he have a little krang squirming around his intestines? He was so stupid. Was revenge really worth losing himself? But he didn’t let it show as he talked to it. “So what? That happened hours ago.”

“Are all earthlings so dense? Surely you know what happens when food enters your stomach.” It groaned in pain.

The dots connected in Mikey’s head. The krang was being digested alive. Maybe he didn’t need the serum.

He picked up the chef’s knife he had brought in once before. Flashbacks to how sick he felt before made his hands tremble. This was so gross.

Think of the prison dimension he told himself. Leo finally making it home. Hugs from everyone. Tears. But as soon he let go, a spike goes through Raph. He’s dead. The krang stab both me and Donnie. Leo is so in shock he can’t even say anything. The krang comes up behind him.

“It’s all your fault,” it says.

And Leo would believe it.

How many times had Leo lived through that? How much guilt did he carry? Compared to that, getting his hands a little dirty wasn’t that bad. His grip tightened on the knife.

The krang sat up. “What are you doing? I hope you don’t think that pathetic little blade intimidates me. You’ll need much more than that to kill me.” He couldn’t tell if it was bluffing or genuinely that arrogant.

“I’m not going to kill you.”

It was getting a little easier to reach inside the cage this time. The krang was growing so big there was little space for it to escape to. He grabbed it by its fat pink arm to hold it in place as he sliced through another limb. His initial cut wasn’t strong enough to sever so he needed to saw it back and forth. It gushed blood out with a wet SPLAT, oozing out from the wound. It was not quick or painless. The krang screeched as he worked, cursing him in languages he couldn’t understand.

He cut almost all the way through, only a bit of flesh dangling onto the tentacle before he gave up with the knife. He grabbed the almost severed limb and yanked. It tore away with another shriek and the cage fell backwards, crashing onto the ground. For a second, Mikey worried it might have busted the cage door open. But it remained clasped closed. Then he worried he might have made too much noise. He peeked out of his room to see if anyone had heard. No one was even around. Everyone had grown much more secluded after the krang attack, staying in their rooms more often than before. He had nothing to worry about.

The tentacle squirmed in hand, wriggling until it slipped out from his hand. It landed on the ground with a wet thud. It writhed around and for a moment he was worried it was trying to escape. But watching it a bit longer he realized it had no idea what direction it was going, only squirming as muscle memory.

He wasn’t sure he could eat it now that it had been on the floor. Although he hadn’t been very eager to taste the rubbery, greasy meat again. Maybe it would taste better cooked? That would surely get rid of the germs.

Mikey pulled out a hot plate he had stolen from Donnie who had been going through an eat-nothing-but-ramen phase. He also had a couple of old pans he kept in here that he was too attached to for him to throw out. They weren't very good, but he really didn't want to risk going out to the kitchen and have the tentacle wriggle somewhere where it wasn't supposed to. He plugged in the hotplate, giving it a bit of time to heat up. Picking up the tentacle, he rinsed it with water from one of the dozens of half empty water bottles he had.

He placed the pan on the hot plate then paused. He didn't have any oil or butter or anything in his room. Maybe he could use water. There was a reason you didn't use water for frying but he couldn't remember it right now. Better than nothing. The water sizzled as it made contact with the heated metal.

He dropped the tentacle onto the pan. As soon as the flesh made contact the krang let out a shriek. At least he knew it wasn't lying about that.

He expected to feel guilty from what he was doing. And maybe he did, just a little. But stronger than that was the glee. The dark joy he got from knowing he was powerful enough to inflict pain on the monster that destroyed his brother's sanity. A pleasurable flame that lit up his heart from the inside out.

Letting the flesh cook, he walked over to the krang. It grimaced and shifted uncomfortably in its cage.

"How does it feel?" he asked.

"I've been through worse," it spat.

That ruined his mood. "Fine. Then I guess I'll have to put you through worse."

"Do what you will. A krang will never break." It must have adjusted to the pain. Or maybe the tentacle had fully died and the krang had no more connection to it. He glanced back at the pan. It was burning.

He cried out and ran over, going to flip the charring meat only to realize he had nothing to move it with. Dancing around, he looked around frantically but couldn't find anything. He grabbed the pan itself and flipped it, nearly dropping it again. It landed burnt side up and he saw there was no water left in the pan. That's right, evaporating.

He let it cook a few minutes longer before turning the burner off. It was mostly charred and definitely ruined. He considered throwing it away, but he had no way of explaining it away if it was found in the trash and he wasn't sure if it could still regenerate. So he opened his mouth and dropped it in.

The charred flavor made him grimace but the rest of it wasn't bad. It was tender and crisp at the edges. A much better flavor than raw. Maybe if he cooked it properly, it would actually taste good.

Before he could try again, however, someone called his name, saying everyone was going on a mission. He stored the krang back in the closet, making sure the hot plate was turned off before he ran out.

While they were out and patrolling the city for threats, Mikey couldn’t stop thinking about the krang. How much was he going to have to cut off to keep it from growing too big? What was he going to do with all of it? Maybe if he was able to get some better ingredients it wouldn't be so bad.

While Mikey had still been consistently making food, he’d kind of lost interest in experimenting. He hadn’t tried any new recipes or bought new food for a while. He just couldn’t bring himself to care. But now he couldn't stop thinking about—

"Look there he goes!"

He was snapped out his thoughts by Raph yelling. Looking across the street, he saw Hypnopotamus exiting a store blaring with alarms. Oh and some worm guy was on his shoulder. Everyone else was already leaping into action by the time Mikey processed all this information.

The hippo threw metal disks at Donnie, kicking Raph in the stomach and turned to slam his elbow into Leo. Mikey threw his nunchaku, circling it around the villain. Raph went in for another punch. The hippo jumped aside and the worm guy pulled the line tight, tripping Raph. The sudden force yanked Mikey forward and sent him sprawling on top of his brother.

Raph gently pried Mikey off him and went back to the battle. Mikey shook his head, trying to clear the thoughts clouding his mind. The battle was happening around him, but he felt like an outsider. An observer instead of a participant.

Why was he here again?

He watched as they took the villain down, shouts of defeat and victory muffled in his ears. It reminded him. Reminded him of…

“Leo, please don’t do this.”

“Casey, close the portal.”

His heart froze in time. Leo is disappearing. So is the krang. It’s the only option. It was something Leo has to do. He has to keep it there. He has to sacrifice himself. He has to abandon his family.

Has to abandon Mikey.

“Mikey, heads up!” It took a second for Leo’s voice to register. Too long to avoid the metal disk that came flying at his head. He ducked but not fast enough as it sliced into his skin. Warmth dripped from the wound and fell into his eyes. The disk embeds itself into the wall of the building behind him.

Raph and Donnie rushed over to him while Leo stayed with the now tied up villains.

“Mikey are you okay?” Raph asked, already pawing his little brother with his giant hands.

“Yeah, I’m…” The present clicks back into focus. “I’m fine, it’s a little cut.”

Donnie measured. “Actually, it’s about an inch long so saying ‘little’ is a pretty inaccurate—”

“Not helping, Donnie!” Raph tore off some of the bandage wrapped around his hands and tied it to Mikey’s head. “Are you feeling alright? You seemed kind of distracted.”

“Yeah, I was just thinking about…” Leo. Helplessness. Abandonment. The krang. “What to make for supper tomorrow.”

Raph’s face shifted from concern to annoyance. “We were in the middle of a fight! You need to focus or you could get even more hurt than this.”

“I know, I know. I’m sorry.” And he was. He couldn’t let this happen again. Getting his revenge would be useless if it consumed everything in his life.

As they left the villains tied up for the cops, everyone traded jokes as they headed home. But something circled in Mikey's head, turning around and around but never leaving. That day he almost lost Leo. The krang. The krang. The krang. Everyone else had gotten their mind infested with it except for him. It was a coincidence. It had to be. There was no way they purposefully didn't choose him. It just wasn't logical.

But...

He hadn't suffered as much as his brothers had. They had gone through real trauma while he had been protected from the worst of it, again.

When they got home, they ordered pizza as a victory prize. No cooking until later. Mikey forced himself not to think about it too much when he was with his brothers. They deserved his attention. He pushed all the thoughts away and they all had fun like they used to.

But once he was in his room, all the bad thoughts began to overflow.

The krang didn't seem surprised when he pulled it out of the closet. Was it already getting used to this? It seemed slightly bigger than before but not growing at the rate it used to. Looks like he was right.

He pulled out the knife and the krang flinched.

"What's wrong?" He taunted. "Scared?"

The krang puffed out its chest. "Of something like you? Hardly. None of what you've done is even a sliver of the pain inflicted on your brother." It grinned smugly.

The screams that followed, however, were anything but.

He'd cut off three arms this time, finding it a little easier each time he did it. Still, his arm muscles ached and he swiped sweat from his brow. There was a smattering of blood on his arm. Had he got any on his face? He picked up a discarded t-shirt and cleaned himself, scrubbing extra hard at his face. It left sickly brown streaks on the fabric and knew he'd have to throw this shirt away, krang blood or otherwise.

He placed the squirming arms in a dusty old Mason jar he never got around to using. They crawled over each other, one always struggling underneath the other like maggots. He screwed the lid on, just in case.

The kitchen was empty when he entered, Good. He rifled around the pantry and cupboards until he located some cooking oil and basic garlic salt. Best to start off small. He had almost made it back when he bumped into someone. Donnie.

“Oh, hey Mikey. We were just about to watch skateboarding fails, care to join us?”

It was tempting. Watching people fall over was always funny. But he was too excited about his other thing. “Sorry, D. I’m working on some new recipes right now.”

Donnie waved him off unenthusiastically. “Okay, but if you want me to be your test subject, don’t overseason it.”

His definition of “overseasoning” was anything more than salt. “You got it, bro.”

He released a small sigh when he returned unquestioned.

“What’s wrong?” the krang asked. “Fighting off a guilty conscience?”

“No!” he snapped. The krang should be the last creature talking to him about guilt. “Did you feel any guilt when you tortured my brother?”

“Hardly. I quite enjoyed it, actually.”

It wasn’t enough that he cut them once. This time he chopped each in four pieces, feeling a giddy spark each time the krang flinched.

He drizzled oil onto the pan, making sure to cover it entirely. When the flesh was placed into the hot oil, it didn’t even flinch. Looks like the nerves couldn’t move. The krang still groaned. He poked it around, making sure that it didn’t burn. The smell that wafted over was a bit unusual. It had the aroma of chicken with a hint of fish. He hoped it would taste better than it smelled.

After ten minutes, he shut the hot plate off. He had expected the meat to turn brown but instead it was just a darker pink. Sprinkling some garlic salt, he picked up a piece and popped it in his mouth. The skin burst and the sweetness was more subtle than before. Now it was more savory and crunchier. It was easy to chew it and didn’t leave any aftertaste.

Not bad, but he felt he could do better.

He finished off the rest of them and put the krang back in the closet. If he hurried, he might still be able to catch his brothers watching. He needed a little fun.

"OH DON' GIT ME STARTED ON DAT PIKACHU!! LITTLE RAT-" "Meowth focus please. The video can't be a novel long-" "Ah- sorry Silva- GAH I MEAN-" "... Don't worry about it lets just move on."

"Sort of? The mod of the account is weird." "What's... that suppose to mean Jessie...?" "Don't worry about it!" "Wha-"

End of ID]

... I think I'm going to need to ask them some questions after this... Also to tell Meowth to memorize my code name better.

🔔 ... ATEEZOFFICIAL UPLOADED: ATEEZ (에이티즈) 2022 TRICK OR TREAT WITH LUA !

EDITION ..  for the first time in her life, lua’s going trick or treating! dressed in a look similar to orphan’s esther, what’s in store for her? 

CW(S) .. mentions of foods and pranks

MONA SAYS ..   and here we have my first reactions post ever— i’m still new to this kind of format so please bear with me! oh, i also made the thumbnail which is why it looks hideous (not handong though, never handong)

SEONGHWA !

lua's only been with him for one minute and she already wanted to run away. it's like having her mom there, which is ironic because seonghwa was snapping plenty of pictures to show mama zhang. she endured his cooing some more before she held out her bucket, waiting to see what he had for her. of course he gave her some sweets.. right after she did one more pose for the camera.

HONGJOONG !

she actually had to call the leader after waiting outside his studio, knuckles shaded with a light red tint from knocking so much. when he finally opens up to build a snowman to greet her, he laughed at the sight of the human doll who quickly shifted her pout into a cheerful smile. then it turned into a pout again when hongjoong put a few fruit bars in her bucket. hey, at least she had something healthy to balance out the mountain of sweets he knew she'd definitely get later on.

YUNHO !

knowing him, she kept her bucket safe by putting it aside before greeting him with the famous phrase. it's a good thing too, since the treats he gave her were a warm hug and cheeks that were pink from being pinched to match with it. of course, when he asked if she had anything for him in return, she handed him the cup of instant cook ramen which was, in fact, the only treat she'd brought for her trip. you know, just favorite member things.

YEOSANG !

lua is yeosang's favorite. everyone knows that—the members do, atinys do, even non-fans can see it. but that doesn't mean he can't play a small trick on her from time to time. so when it was his time to shine, he gave her a packet of jelly belly's bean boozled. actually it wasn't less of a trick and more of a weapon that she can use against wooyoung once he pulls another prank on her.

okay yeah, lua is definitely yeosang's favorite.

SAN !

on the count of one, everyone act surprised that he gave her a treat. gasp! he thought of playing a trick on her; really, he did—uh huh, sure—but backed out last minute and gave her a lucky cat lamp that he caught her eyeing last week. atinys definitely enjoyed watching this section of the vlog, seeing as how the two bickered over whether she should receive it or not. in the end, san kinda won, kinda lost—he got treated to a kiss on the cheek.

MINGI !

honestly wasn't expecting it, this one was such a plot twist. everyone knows that the girl hates slime, she's made that clear on several occasions before. but seeing as how it's the day of spooks, mingi thought it'd be a good idea to let her dig in a box for her treat. she only took one second to process what she was touching, then another to yank her hand out of it, causing the box to fly away.

mingi's victim list now looks like this: lua, and a poor convenience store worker.

WOOYOUNG !

she gave him the benefit of the doubt, okay? seeing as how he plays tricks on her every once in a while, she thought that day would be one of those where he would be nice. but wooyoung doesn't know what that word means, and she ended up using the camera stick to defend herself from the “monster” that had snuck up on her while she was roaming through the company. even though he just made her soul jump into the next dimension, she still gave him a treat—not.

JONGHO !

so technically, what jongho gave her is a trick. i mean, who likes receiving apple slices on the one day of the year where filling your stomach with as much sugar as you can is excused? but lua saw it as a treat because he took the time to peel the fruit and remove the seeds before cutting it up. she didn't even let the members know what she was going to do for the special day, so how did he prepare? (spoiler alert: hwa told everyone right after she left him to meet joong.)

either way, it's a treat in lua's books, and that's that.

BONUS: STRAY KIDS !

in hindsight, lua should have messaged inka to let her know that she was going to visit. at least some of the members were home, she supposed she could work with that. and it actually did work great: bang chan had the same reaction as seonghwa when he saw her, jeongin requested—on behalf of himself and jisung who still acts too starstruck to speak up—to get some pictures with her, and felix gave her a mini bag of his famous brownies.

uh huh, she definitely had to visit the skz dorm more often.

i present to you…purple ramen! my dad always made it with cabbage, but he used purple cabbage one time and it turned everything purple. it stuck in my brain so much, i always have to make it with purple cabbage now. i can’t not.

(it’s actually a bit lighter in shade than this. but i didn’t take a picture last time i made it.)

as for the third eye and related abilities, i know you’ve seen your more-than fair share of horrors of horrors. but have you seen anything unexpectedly beautiful lately? do you find your perception changes as you know someone more?

sometimes it’s easier for me to read people when we don’t have a personal relationship because i know my perception isn’t being informed by my involvement with them. but other times it actually helps because i get pretty familiar with their energy and the spirits who like to orbit them.

i usually don’t have anyone else to talk to about this since i’m generally the go-to psychic weirdo amongst my friends. so you’ll have to excuse my overzealousness. call me eternally curious about the way you experience energy, but i should probably let you, y’know, eat before i bombard you with fifty million 20 questions about the mystic. 🙈

Look at that ramen- Oh wow, if I told Wong they are mystic worms from another dimension he probably would believe it. *he joins you to eat the meal*

So you really are interested in the mystic skills I got over time. Fair. Your question is quite...unusual, that's good. Yeah, I do get to see amazing things, such as people's auras and mystic beings flying at night, glowing in the sky. It takes some time to learn how to focus and see such things...and to...not see them when you want some peace. I don't mind you bombarding me with tons of questions. Actually, I enjoy that. I like your company. And I guess I am the crazy paranormal guy when compared to other heroes so...

Nine People You Want To Know Better

I was tagged more than once in this!!! Thank you to @/saintedseraph @/artbyeloquent @/bardictales and @/writingpotato07 (listen, you left an open tag and I just wanted to throw you on here because you're a really good friend and I think this is fun)

—first ever ship.

now, if you know me, you know that I have the memory of a fucking goldfish. I don't remember what I had for lunch yesterday (like I am legitimately - RAMEN) let alone what I liked eons ago. If I had to think of the first ship that I can remember, though, I think it was Sarumi (Fushimi Saruhiko/Yata Misaki, K: Return of Kings). I actually have Yata tattooed on my arm lol, he's the one who helped me come to terms with my gender.

—last song i listened to.

If we count the background music that I listen to while doing schoolwork, then Hot Milk by Snail's House. If we're just counting regular music, then DAYWALKER! by MGK and CORPSE. or maybe it was In My Room by ICP??? i don't remember lol

—last movie i watched.

I watch movies??? jk, i think it was oh god i'm actually blanking uhhhh i think the last movie i attempted to watch was the Weird Al Yankovich one, but I couldn't finish it.

—currently reading.

Angels Before Man by Rafael Nicolás. It is really good! I'm currently on my second read-through of it because I want to really give it the love and attention it deserves after I ran through it in two days the first time!

—currently watching.

Dimension 20's NeverAfter. Locke and I are watching it together! (though I may or may not have watched through the episodes as they released so I know what's going on beforehand)

—currently consuming.

Hot Chocolate. Someone said I'm not allowed to drink Monster anymore so I gotta find pleasure in life elsewhere I guess

—currently craving.

Monster. I really shouldn't have mentioned it. oops

—tagging.

Edil's instant ramen adventure #6: Sapporo ichiban miso ramen

A maybe vegan/vegetarian (I'm not reading the ingredients that closely) option!

These noodles didn't come with microwave instructions, so I put all the seasoning in and had it there for 6 minutes on high. I was a bit intimidated by this spice packet, the had the exact dimensions of a packet of silica gel

Upon opening it I found it was, in fact, spice and not, in fact, silica gel

The small amount of spice made me worry it would be POTENT the ramen is mild! And very flavorful

While the soup and the packaging look quite humble, I find myself very impressed with the taste and smell. I'll be eating these with fried eggs seasoned with garlic salt, but taste and small tests are being done separately. The texture of the noodles are as springy as desired, and the miso broth is banger, if a bit salty for my taste (this could be my fault and I should've added more water before cooking, which would likely fix the issue)

And giving the ingredients a closer look, this flavor is definitely vegetarian, (though may contain shellfish for allergen information) but I don't find myself wanting for flavor at all!

As someone who's lived with multiple vegetarians who have struggled for a good ramen option, I'm incredibly excited to tell them about this! I don't have any desire for spice with this Flavor, and can't think of the top of a specific sauce I can reccomend to go well with this for those who desire it, but it's definitely OK for those who aren't a spice fan, with or without the silica packet.

I do find myself taking the noodles out of the broth, though, just so they don't get overcooked, they are very absorbent. the flavor is still great, though I do prefer to eat out of the broth if possible.

A solid base that I think could easily be made into a proper meal with the addition of veg and protein, I'll have to give this an 8/10. It's a damn solid noodle! Personally, I might opt for the Shin chicken before this one more often than not, because a real spicy meal is rejuvenating, but I do think these are objectively better.

Available on Amazon for 1.50$ per serving, these are a good mid range noodle, that delivers solid flavor without the high price range veg packet additions (which I'm not really a fan of anyway. Its better to just add kimchi and whatever else fresh, if possible. Many of the dried additions don't cook well and taste bad) these are also pulling through in terms of affordability! The sodium content is 86% which may actually be the lowest I've seen thus far, and I'm inclined to agree with amazons 4.9/5 rating for these. While not the BEST noodle (as my scale is comparing for the best, and not individual noodle merit like the Amazon ratings) this one is damn good!

Instant Ramen Soups

No full recipe today, just some pointers on how to make good soup out of instant ramen. These aren't focused on authenticity or anything, I mean, it's instant noodles.

Adding soy sauce to your instant ramen soup broth if it's too bland is always a safe bet. Don't go insane, just a little bit at all really helps enrich the stock with umami and salty flavours.

Try to keep a handle on exactly how many powder seasonings you add in; at a certain point they might not all dissolve and leave some grainy mush at the bottom of the soup.

Curry powder, if you use a small* amount, works awesome to just richen up the broth and make it pop.

The amount of curry powder you should be adding to a soup to make it curry flavoured is always just a little more than 'looks right'. At least, all three members of my family agree this.

Do not be afraid to add canned meat/veg, or even chop up and add fresh meat/veg to the soup. Also hard/soft boiled egg or even just slapping a fried egg on top. I also like just throwing a microwaved chicken patty that I've cut up on top like it's chicken katsu.

If you want to, you can make your ramen in a bowl with a kettle instead of by stovetop. I reccomend letting it sit a little longer than on stovetop though.

Chives are a good substitute to try if you dislike green onion. They're related, but not identical in flavour or texture.

Sriracha is a good option for spice but can also add a dimension of richness if you just add a tiny squirt of it.

If you can get your hands on it, wakame is an excellent addition to throw in as the pot starts boiling. Usually sold at asian markets.

Hondashi seasoning is a fish-based product you can add if you want to make a seafood based ramen, made out of the bonito fish frequently. Don't add too much, though. Very fishy taste. (Unless you want it to be very fishy, in which case, do.)

Bonito flake is also good for fish flavour, but the flakes can get clumpy or even plasticky if you add too much. You can also just boil them separately and strain them out.

Konbu is similar to the bonito flake thing, except you're expected to take the konbu out on all occasions, not just some. You can usually take the konbu sheet aside after using it to make broth and dry it and then turn it into a rice topping though.

Ultra’s Ramblings: Ultraverse V-Twins Headcanons

So, as of the time I’m writing this, we’re still in Spooky Season. I feel like now would be a good time to share some headcanons for my own personal take on the Vampire Twins from Johnny Test. To clarify, my version is a lot different than their original counterparts in canon (Things like being older, having a more curvy and pudgy/buff body, etc), and all of it are attempts to make Susan and Mary far more interesting and fleshed-out characters than they were in the actual show.

Maryanna

Mary’s favorite Pokémon is Guzzlord. One would expect Lunala to be her top pick, but she’s more into the black hole-belly monster from another dimension

Despite her chonky build, Mary can be very fast when she wants to be (Like with all vampires). Her electric powers can increase her speed even more when she needs to.

Vampires all have a shared weakness of garlic, being allergic to it. Despite that fact, garlic bread is one of the few garlic-related foods that they can stomach relatively easily. Eating too much of it can make them sick tho, as Mary had found out the hard way in the past.

Being the massive nerd that she is, Mary has dabbled in cosplay a few times. Bayonetta, Jack Skellington, and Wilhamena are some of her favorite characters to go as.

Similar to how many species of venomous snakes inject venom into their prey with their fangs, Mary can actually deliver an electrified bite with her fangs. Other ways of Mary using electricity to fight include letting out flares of electrical energy from her body, using her own spiky ponytail as an electrified kanabo, delivering electrically-charged hip checks with her fat butt, or even using a form of electromagnetic telekinesis.

While she likes to hunt and prowl around for prey, alot of the people that Mary sucks blood from are actually WILLING victims, smitten with her beauty. She was surprised when this first started happening, but Mary let it slide and playfully monologues her hunts, all with a Transylvanian accent. Please, don’t spoil her fun.

One of Mary’s biggest pet peeves is people referring to dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals as nothing more than monsters. She WILL go ballistic if you call T. Rex a “mindless killing machine”.

Mary loves it when someone rubs and squeezes her squishy and chubby belly. Expect her to purr alot when this happens.

Mary loves pumpkins…alot. She tends to gobble alot of pumpkin pie, is a pro at pumpkin carving, likes pumpkin-scented candles, and even has a set of pumpkin-themed lingerie under her dress!

Unsurprisingly, Mary’s main in the Darkstalkers games is Morrigan. It should be pretty obvious as to why…

While English is her main language, Mary has been trying to learn how to speak in Japanese lately. This started when she tried to sing a few songs in Japanese during karaoke night.

Mary’s personal favorite genre of music is rock, especially symphonic metal. She even has a custom-made acoustic guitar that she made herself.

Many of Mary’s close friends often refer to her as “Bloody Mary”. The pun is not lost on her at all.

Due to how wide her body is, Mary has trouble going through doors. To solve this problem, she enters a room by rising from the shadows.

Mary would definitely use her massive breasts to hold drinks in. Not only would it be funny to her, it makes it alot easier for her if she’s handling something else too.

When it comes to kissing, Mary can be quite passionate (albeit a bit…sloppy at times). Care must be taken when taking her sharp teeth into consideration tho.

When it comes to her favorite animals, azhdarchid pterosaurs are usually Mary's first choice.

Similar to her sister, one of Mary’s main hobbies is being a mad scientist. She’s also a rock artist/DJ and kaiju merch collector.

Not only is she bisexual, Mary is also polymourous. She tends to be flirty and get frisky with multiple partners, especially women.

Mary is a huge foodie, especially with burgers, pumpkin pie, ramen, and tacos. A good way to befriend her is to prepare some of her favorite food.

In terms of height, Mary is the taller of the duo, being a couple of inches higher than Susan.

Put up a laser pointer in front of Mary, and she'll be obsessed with it, like an overgrown kitty.

Surprisingly for a vampire, Mary happens to be a good swimmer. There have been times where she used her hair to pull pranks on people, with her favorite being her hair being used like the tentacles of a sea monster to grab people.

Mary isn’t really a fan of the Jurassic World trilogy, mainly because of how she’s disgusted by how the movies treat dinosaurs as generic movie monsters.

Mary’s favorite fruit is a ripe watermelon. Some have made the comparison between a watermelon, and her own, uh…melons. Mary, being proud of her huge breasts, doesn’t mind at all

Susanic

Susan’s nickname (Especially when wrestling) is the Infernal Star. This nickname alone is already enough to make her a formidable opponent, due to how intimidating it is.

Similar to how Mary can speak in Japanese, Susan can speak fluently in Spanish.

The fire that Susan controls is made of magnesium, which can burn at 3100°C. This firepower is hot enough to melt even steel, and when applying her magic, Susan can use this volatile blaze for fireballs, fiery claw slashes, and even powerful, compressed beams of pure heat that she fires from her jaws, similar to Shin Godzilla’s Radiation Heat Ray.

Speaking of which, Susan has the ability to coat HERSELF with her fire, having it act like a suit of armor. She also uses this ability to accelerate herself at high altitudes when flying. Yet, somehow, Susan’s clothes don’t burn away when she uses this ability, thanks to her magic.

The usual exercise routine that Susan goes through is like this; The usual like push-ups, crunches, and squats, then she does ridiculous things like using logs 20 times bigger than herself as lifting weights, pushing a whole train with only her jaws, and even doing jogs….while on fire.

Fitting of her pyromantic powers and hotheadedness, Susan is a big fan of spicy food.

Despite how much of a stern hothead she is, Susan deeply cares for the people that she loves most, especially with Gil.

Both of the V-Twins’ living shadows can be imbued with their mistresses’ respective elemental powers, with Susan’s being able to conjure up shadowy will-o-wisps.

Susan’s favorite starter Pokemon is Litten. She tends to heavily relate to Incineroar, alot. She’s also a cat person, so that makes things easier.

In terms of classical music, Susan is a natural pro with a piano. She and Mary have worked together on making music many times in the past.

Susan is normally not a big fan of water. At all. She’s even terrified of the ocean too! Although, she likes to cool down in hot springs.

Susan and Gil both had a curious roleplay session once; The usual scenario of a vampire seducing a bride…Only with Susan as the countess, and Gil as the BRIDE. It’s a bit weird, but we’re not judging.

While it’s not as massive as Mary’s, Susan’s breasts are still big and soft. Gil even uses her ample bust as a makeshift pillow when cuddling.

In her spare time, Susan tends to her collection of spiders, scorpions, and other arachnids. She takes pretty good care of her pets.

Susan happens to enjoy a good fire by the chimney, especially during the cold winter months.

Susan is a fan of anime from the 1980’s. In fact, she personally jives with the vibes and aesthetics of the 80’s.

While Mary has helped out a bit, Susan is the main creator of the Enigma-tron 2600, a sentient supercomputer that can turn into a powerful robot. People even consider Susan to be Enigma’s mom.

Another invention that Susan made is a sleak, Tron-like techno suit. This suit is also made up of nanobots, similar to the nanometal seen in the Godzilla anime trilogy. This allows Susan to conjure up weapons, and bat-like wings made of the stuff from her suit.

While it’s a rare sight to see, Susan and the other Porkbelly vamps all have tiny, spread out, bioluminescent dots on their skin, allowing them to glow in the pitch black of night. Susan’s tend to glow a vibrant purple.

In terms of where she and Gil stand on the whole dominant vs submissive scaling, Susan leans more towards the former. Gil is really into it tho.

NEVER challenge Susan to an arm-wrestling contest. Aside from how vampires tend to have super strength, all of that working out makes it even more easier for Susan.

Susan and Gil are in a loving relationship, and she doesn’t like it when anyone, including a certain fat, bling-obsessed rapper, interferes…

When on land, Susan is able to run at 180 mph, making her a real speed demon to be reckoned with.

While she’s mostly straight, Susan tends to be enthralled by hot women every now and again.

Susan is the wrestling champion of Porkbelly for 5 years running so far. She has to train alot if she wants to keep that title!

[chocoboparty]

fiancé been busy for hours (not his fault) feel bad for him. miss him. dislike being without him for too long. sometimes makes me feel small, don’t have anyone else to talk to. or maybe don’t feel like talking to anyone else. don’t consider myself lonely but I prefer him. I prefer him and Ignis and gladio and even luna /source. but can’t talk to iggy or gladio and noct is busy </3

fictive ramble more under cut

really miss being with friends /source

miss being outside and driving in regalia and smelling iggy’s food and trying to arm wrestle gladio but never lets me win. see Gladio’s favorite ramen at super market. see mention of fishing think of going with Noctis. all of us with campfire trying to keep warm. been years. but im still same age. stuck. only noct understands. lucky to have him with me at least. like we both got sucked into a different dimension. weird. call irl friends names from source because makes things easier. always forget to use real name when refer to them. want me and Noctis to be happy and traveling and not worrying about anything too much. but it’s okay. just weird to not be in source anymore.

🍕 and/or 🍩 for everyone!! (anyone you want to answer :3)

🍕: What is your Oc's favorite food???

OOoo this one is fun, UMMM

Matteo - Cinnamon rolls. He's a whore for them sorry KJHGFD

Julia - Cheesy Bagels with herb butter COATING them thangs. She can't have them often bc she's diabetic but. Sometimes she's a little naughty, we stan

Travis - Steak and potatoes - I LIED NO he likes boba milk. Oreo boba milk.

Vance - He doesn't really have a preference! Eating is more a means to an end for him, so if anything I think he'd just prefer certain textures. Things that have a Styrofoam mouthfeel are good, or things that are easy and quick (liquids). He would probably like the fruit cups with juice orbs in them, or mozzarella balls also. Shaped or Texture foods :]

Blake - homemade chicken noodle soup with ramen noodles instead of egg noodles, like his mom would make when he was sick 🥺 but if you actually asked him he'd say gatorade rice (he's lying but he does eat it)

Crispin - The triple chocolate cake Emmett makes on his birthday (emmett is a baker by profession, and crispin's husband/boyfriend/whatever KGJFD)

🍩 : Who is your OC’s arch-nemesis or rival???

oh, my god, ok. okay.

Matteo - He's not someone who makes many like, mortal enemies/nemesis'. However. He fucking HATES Cassius and also Fletcher. He hates Cassius for killing and cult-enslaving a ton of people, ruining lives and nearly killing him and Ellis.

He hates Fletcher even more than that, because Fletcher is Ellis' abusive father, and he literally throws himself on that wretched man mid-rampage while he's werewolf shifted and starts clawing kicking and fighting him to get him to leave Ellis alone.

He gets Very hurt, Ellis shuts down and has a panic attack, its a horrible time! Fletcher goes to jail though so there's that. I think he'd consider Fletcher his absolute fucking beloathed nemesis of all time

Cassius gets sent back to his weird dimension and his brother gets to laugh @ him the whole way back. he's more a stinky little shitstain to Matteo than a real Rival or Nemesis

Vance - Thatse a spoiler <3 :) sowwy

Blake - himself. like actually KFGJSH DLFGKJH he'd beat his own ass if he wasn't a coward, so he gets other people to do it for him. :(

Travis - Ellis.....they go from rivals to like. frenemies, or something. Mutual begrudging respect.

Crispin - in any and every au, he fucking hates Matteo for no reason. KJGH SLJKF

Melanie - She becomes rivals/nemesis with Syrin even though they're related - his betrayal of their whole syndicate thing, and him having and giving up the life she idolized for so long just like. Turns her to Evil. I mean she was already evil, but it makes her wanna be more evil @ him. LMAO
