#look ! it’s milk ! it just has milk in it ! well and some vitamin D because i live in québ—you know what don’t worry about that.

[factual-fantasy]

25 asks! :00 Thank you! :}} 💖

I would like to yeah :0 for now I'm just kind'a goofin around and drawing whatever. Also thank you!! :DD I'm glad you like it! :}}}

I don't think kid Gregory and Vanessa would realize that the other is a younger version of the guard that's pursuing them.. They would just think they have the same name.

What would be confusing though is who went into who's world. If Little Vanessa went to little Gregory's world, she would be so confused. "Where's Bonnie and Foxy? Why do Roxy and Monty look so different..? Why does the entire BUILDING look different..??"

For adult Gregory going into the kid Gregory's world.. it'd be the same thing. "Why is the building so different and where is Bonnie and Foxy?... Also why is there this random gal that has on a security uniform and why is she in my office-"

Thank you! Happy new year to you as well!! 🎉🥳🎊

YOOOO THAT'D BE SICK!! :DDD Also I love all the puns XDD

Yeah, that post is outdated and should not be followed. My pinned post has all the up to date information. 👍

(Also thank you! :D)

That's a thing?? Man. I'm not sure what to think. I was never super into Bendy.. I guess I just hope that the fans get what they're hoping for? <:D

Or at the very least I hope that the people who made Bendy have the freedom to put what ever they want into the movie. :}

Thank you so much! :DD As for my favorite character from my AU specifically? I'd say its a tough pick between Freddy and Foxy.. I thiiiiink I'll pick Freddy XD I just love him man 🥺

@skeletormasterofevil

N-No.. she was so young...💔

@underfalls-36

XDDD That's hilarious, also thANK YOU SO MUCH!! :DDD

Calico Jack? I don't think so.. scurvy is caused by a severe vitamin-C deficiency. And sailors usually got it becuase they didn't have fruits and vegetables on the ship.. But it looks like Calico Jack has gotten shipwrecked quite a few times in his life. I imagine he's been stranded on islands for a few weeks at a time where he ate nothing but fruits, Veggies and fish. Not to mention his time in the Amazon where he likely had access to all kinds of fruits.

Natquik though? Its possible.. out in the Antarctic his diet was probably mostly fish.. although it seems that real arctic fox diets don't really demand many fruits and veggies.. Still, Natquik seems more likely to have contracted scurvy at one point then Calico Jack :(

:DDD THANK YOU! And boy do I have a lot of that XD

I do have many theories/headcannons yes!.. Although I think I'll keep those tucked away in my brain for now- :x

@citrusfruitman

(Post in question)

XDD I sat on the first ask for a while because I was intending to draw something for it. But I'm realizing now that I might not ever draw it so--

What was going on in that drawing is an evil Undyne threw a spear at the group while they were passing by. Seam was struck in the head by it and was killed.. hence the blood splatter on her face. (My darkeners bleed)

BUT ITS OKAY! Through some uh... very dark methods- Frisk was able to reset to a few moments before and pull Seam out of the way. Then she got into a brawl with the evil Undyne no doubt <XD

I have, and uh, I'm not so sure about the whole "in character" thing.. or at least its not the character I imagined Fazbear Entertainment would be- <XD

It just means they're both rough and tough and their hands get beat up a lot. Kwazii gets them beat from scraping them on stuff and dealing with dangerous creatures while on missions. And Calico Jack gets them from scraping them on stuff and.. dealing with dangerous creatures while on adventures XDD

@spinelfan11

XDD I have now! What an odd specimen..

(Also thank you! :DDD)

@milk-powrit

Its hard to explain exactly why I don't like them.. But I don't like them-

I guess it feels kind'a.. mary sue-ish..? If that makes sense? Or at least having all these sans' that act nothing like the original sans is kind'a off putting? I guess? Not to mention loads of them are shipped together- uhg idk- Its hard to explain but I don't vibe with them personally. So I didn't add them to my au :/

@abaroo

OOOO THAT'S A GOOD IDEA!! :000 I like how it creates a spin on Grillby and River. While Jevil intentionally grabbed Grillby's hand and saved him, and River was dragged along by mistake.. Frisk CHOSE to follow Jevil, it wasn't his doing at all this time. That's a really cool thing to experiment with!

I'll have to look into this idea, thank you for sharing! And thank you for the complements! AND happy new year to you too! XDD

@the-great-bonkings

XDD For receiving hugs? I'd say he's about a 11/10 sometimes, maybe a 6/10 other times. Its harder to hug him comfortably if you're significantly shorter/smaller than he is. But if ur the right size his hugs will just fix all your problems 🥺

As for giving hugs? It might be about the same. But I can see him giving them out only to people he's really close to. Otherwise a tender yet professional hand on the shoulder seems more his style.

XD And I see the prompt there, perhaps I'll have to draw that sometime!

@tanileaf

YOU LIKE? :DDD THANK YOU! I'M SO GLAD!

Aww shucks 😊 Thank you!

@khoiazo

Whaaaat?? Nooo Its not traumaaa,,🥺 its character development!😇

TRUEEEEE

I do! I'll have to post more about them sometime-- 👀👀

@cudlycorncornsworthcoberson

WAAAA THANK YIOU SO MUCH!!! IM SO GLAD YOUY LIKE MY OCTONAUTS SILLIES 💖💖😭💖

[skyland2703]

OLD!! BillySkull headcanons because I’m obsessed and the brainrot has set in

Skull has taken to wearing HATS. This is not because he’s balding— Billy is the one who’s balding (but he likes flaunting it)— BUT he feels like it fits his vibes. He also doesn’t dye his hair/beard so he’s got pepper and salty hair. Billy ADORES it.

Billy got a buzzcut somewhere in his thirties, when he got lice from someone at work— and never quite grew his hair longer again. He likes keeping them short, it’s lesser work.

Skull likes keeping a beard, Billy likes to stay clean shaven. Skull’s beard gets a little annoying when it pricks and itches when they’re making out— but he deals with it, because it makes him happy AND Skull keeps trying some or the other kinda design— He had a goatee once????? And Billy literally went 👀

Billy had lasik done, when he was in his early thirties. After he was back from aquifer— got rid of the ol’ windshields for good. Skull tells him how he looks older without glasses, and in reply, Billy tells him, Skull looks older WITH glasses.

Yes. Skull gets reading glasses really early on. In the forties itself. Something to do with malnutrition at a younger age— he also has some bone problems and issues— doctors at Promethea telling him he needs to work on his vitamin D and calcium intake, if he wants to beat arthritis before it catches up to him. And that just spirals Billy into making Skull take at LEAST three glasses of milk every day. And makes him go on walks. Among other things.

Overall, Skull takes good care of his health— he’s barely on the edge, because of childhood things, but as long as he pays attention— and he did start paying attention the day he hit forty—

Billy on the other hand, not so much. What with monster attacks and drama and things, he keeps injuring himself, and he’s not exactly too flexible anymore. Sigh.

Like that one time he threw his back out while they were trying to do smexy things at night. Skull panicked so hard, so so so hard. He called up Zack, he called up Bulk, he called up Kim, he called up Trini AND he called up Tommy. Sure, Zack showed up with some chiropractor within five minutes, but their friends NEVER let Billy live it down.

Old men yaoi.

Skull does the cooking. Billy can’t make coffee to save his life.

He tried making coffee ONCE. In that electric kettle. He did a few things wrong: 1) he plugged it into the plug point next to the nightstand, HE WAS MAKING COFFEE IN THE BEDROOM— 2) he did it when Skull was sleeping. He wanted to surprise his husband with coffee in the morning. 3) The coffee was made without much trauma, BUT he let it sit in the kettle. He thought that was a good idea. 4) it got cold. Apparently. Or so he thought, so just as he thought Skull was about to wake up, he decided to REHEAT it.

It boiled. And he couldn’t stop it. And it overflowed. All over the tiled floor. All over the rug. All over the nightstand.

Skull made him clean up the mess. Tony Stark of the PR world or not, if you’ve made a mess, you’re GONNA clean it. He’s banned from the kitchen after the coffee incident.

They got married at thirty eight, if that’s an important detail~

Skull and Bulk still run a sandwich chain— but Skull uses his excess income to delve into his more preferred hobbies: he likes music. He plays music, he writes jingles and advertisements, and does little concerts at theatres, playing the piano.

Billy is always on the front row, cheering. Skull doesn’t like him being in the wings, he feels like LOOKING at Billy cheering him on gets him going better than wings support~

They still have all their childhood things in the attic. And every once in a while, they bring everything down for a dust— coughing from it while they clean everything, going through memories together— and there’s a whole bunch of crap in there that’s too precious to both old men to ever throw away.

Billy is slowly working on a memoir. Well, two separate memoirs. One is on his life as the successful businessman and owner of Cranston Tech, like most “influential” personalities usually do. The other is on his life as a “Power Ranger”. This one’s anonymously written, of course. Billy has a little study room, right next to Skull’s piano room, and when Billy writes, Skull plays.

Skull feels like if you read both memoirs together you’re sure to realise they have the same author. Billy doesn’t want to admit that. (He’s probably going to give it to Zack for a reread and for some editing. He trusts his friends for editing more than any professional editor.)

All of Billy’s clothes are a liiittle bigger than Skull, and he loves snuggling into his hoodies for the nights. It’s the best feeling.

Last, but not the least: they’re THAT couple who go to parties and just sit in the corner, judging everyone and just giggling amongst themselves. They’re just having the best old age ever~

Oh and this was the pic that made me go brrrr

[thessalian]

Thess vs Sudden Reminders

I hate the days when the pain’s bad enough to add to my already well-established disordered sleeping patterns. What I hate more is the likely ADHD, because while occasionally useful, sometimes there are things you just would have preferred not to have blip into your head right then, y’know?

I was pondering a late-night snack. See, on my trip to the shops earlier, I thought, “Why not treat myself to milkshakes?” So I was pondering whether I wanted one and then my brain supplied the following, with no small amount of probably unwarranted urgency: “THE BANANAS!”

There is logic to this, I swear.

See, I found a recipe for coffee smoothies that looked like just the thing. Frozen bananas for, like, potassium and vitamin C and vitamin B6 and fibre and all the other good stuff bananas have, and yoghurt for the vitamin D in which I am apparently deficient and which was the whole reason for me starting to have smoothies in the first place, though that’s lessened by the liquid content being coffee instead of milk, but it’s still something. Nice to have variety, at least.

I am getting away from the point, which is that it requires frozen bananas. And I bought bananas on my big online grocery shop but had not remembered to put them in the freezer yet. And it did occur to me that people packing groceries ordered online will generally grab the stuff that’ll go off first because ... well, it gets rid of the stuff before it has to go into the bargain bin, and it’s a little trickier for an online customer to complain. So if I forgot about putting the bananas in the freezer for much longer, I would probably end up with bananas barely fit for banana bread.

So there was me at three in the godsdamned morning, slicing bananas and scraping off the black bits before dumping them into freezer bags and cramming them into my fairly full freezer.

At least that’s done, though, and I can probably try for sleep. Just hoping that my brain doesn’t shout some other bit of MUST DO NOW chore at me while I’m settling in.

A Guide to the Health Benefits of a Plant Based Diet

Are you tired of feeling sluggish and unhealthy? Do you want to make a positive change in your life? Look no further than a plant-based diet! Yes, you heard that right.

By including more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes into your diet, you can experience a whole host of health benefits. In this article, we'll explore the power of plants and how they can transform your health.

What is a Plant-Based Diet?

A plant-based diet is exactly what it sounds like: a diet that revolves around plant foods. This means that the majority of your meals should be made up of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. While some people may interpret a plant-based diet to mean a strict vegan or vegetarian lifestyle, it doesn't necessarily have to be that way. You can still incorporate small amounts of animal products, such as meat, dairy, and eggs, into your diet while maintaining a plant-based focus.

Health Benefits of a Plant-Based Diet

The health benefits of a plant-based diet are numerous and well-documented.

Here are just a few of the many reasons to consider making the switch:

Improved Heart Health: A plant-based diet has been shown to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease, the leading cause of death worldwide.

Lower Risk of Cancer: Studies have found that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can lower the risk of certain types of cancer, such as colon, breast, and prostate cancer.

Better Digestion: A plant-based diet is high in fiber, which can improve digestion and prevent constipation.

Weight Management: Because plant-based foods are typically lower in calories and fat than animal products, a plant-based diet can be an effective way to manage your weight.

Increased Energy: Plant-based foods are rich in nutrients and can provide your body with the energy it needs to thrive.

FAQs about a Plant-Based Diet

Here are some common questions and concerns people may have about switching to a plant-based diet:

Q: Will I get enough protein?

Yes! There are plenty of plant-based sources of protein, such as beans, lentils, tofu, and nuts.

Q: What about calcium and vitamin D?

Many plant-based foods are rich in calcium and vitamin D, such as leafy greens, soy milk, and fortified cereals.

Q: Won't I miss the taste of meat?

While it may take some time to adjust, there are many plant-based alternatives to meat that are just as tasty, such as tempeh, seitan, and veggie burgers.

Tips for Transitioning to a Plant-Based Diet

Making the switch to a plant-based diet can seem daunting at first, but it doesn't have to be.

Here are some tips to help you get started:

Start Slow: Begin by incorporating more plant-based meals into your diet gradually. You don't have to go cold turkey (no pun intended) on meat and dairy all at once.

Experiment with New Recipes: There are countless delicious plant-based recipes out there, so don't be afraid to try something new.

Focus on Nutrient-Dense Foods: Make sure you're getting enough vitamins and minerals by incorporating a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables into your meals.

Don't Be Too Hard on Yourself: It's okay to slip up occasionally and eat something that's not entirely plant-based. The important thing is to keep trying and make progress.

However, it’s important to remember that ghee is still high in fat, so moderation is key.

Aids Digestion: Ghee is easily digestible due to the removal of lactose and milk solids. This can be beneficial for those with sensitive stomachs.

Nutrient Powerhouse: Ghee is a good source of vitamins A, D, E, and K, essential for overall health and well-being.

Herpesyl Reviews - Is It Worth It? Read My Experience!

 ➥About Herpesyl:

Nutrition is essential to healthy living. You may want to be more healthy, but do you know how to take the first step? Becoming healthy isn't as hard as you think it might be. Read the tips below for important information.

It is important that everyone consumes the appropriate amount of each nutrient the body needs to perform every day. Eating healthy foods is important, but making sure that you intake enough vitamins, minerals, sodium, and carbohydrates, amongst other nutrients, is vital to maintaining good health. Also make sure you don't consume too much of any certain nutrient.

It may sound like a broken record but when it comes to nutrition, pull out that food pyramid you were given in elementary school. This will ensure that you get the proper combination of starches, proteins, carbs, and other essential elements of a healthy diet. If you are looking to be a productive member of society, or just of the workplace, being well nourished is the first step.

Eat roasted beets when you have a sugar craving because it is healthier than eating a dessert and it can be just as sweet. Beets contain a lot of natural sugars, and they concentrate when they are cooked down. Your body will break this sugar down much faster than those you would have consumed from a dessert.

Milk is the best form of liquid protein you can give you body. 

Packed full of protein, vitamin D and other important nutrients, milk is a natural, affordable drink, that everyone should take advantage of.

 Instead of using protein shakes to bulk up, consider drinking two or three glasses of milk every day, instead.

When looking at the amount of calories in a food, make sure that you pay attention to serving size. If a serving of cereal is 200 calories but the serving size is half a cup, know that a bowl of cereal will be far more than 200 calories! Often serving sizes listed are less than what people typically eat.

Save your used drink bottles, fill them with water and freeze them. Having water available to quench your thirst is imperative to good health. Frozen water bottles will likely stay cool all day and an added wellness benefit, is that they are handy to grab to wet down a wipe and cool yourself off on hot days.

Read and understand the labels on the food you buy. The nutrition labels list the serving size, the calories, the fat, the sodium, the cholesterol, the carbohydrate, the protein and the vitamin content of each serving. Using this information you can calculate how much you have to eat from each type of food.

Do not use nutritional bars or protein bars as a replacement for meals. Often media and commercials will tell you that these bars are a great way to lose weight but they may have an adverse effect on your diet. Sometimes a strict diet is the one of the only ways to  lose weight.

You can boost your chance for conception with some super foods like oysters, yams and berries. 

Oysters are a concentrated source of the zinc, which is important for conception. Research has suggested that yams may stimulate ovulation. 

Berries contain antioxidants, which can protect the body from cell damage, including the cells in your reproductive system.

You should allow yourself to have and indulgence every once in a while even if you are on a diet. This will stop you from spontaneously cheating on your diet. Schedule a day where you can eat something you have been craving, but make sure to be careful with the portion sizes.

Don't over eat when you're pregnant. Many mothers think that because they're pregnant they need to take in significantly more calories when in fact you only need an extra 250-300 calories a day. More important than the amount of food you eat is the quality. Make sure you're maintaining a balanced diet.

A great nutrition tip if you have diabetes is to regular check your blood sugar levels when you eat a new food. It's important to know how each food impacts your blood sugar level, and if you do this frequently, you'll learn which foods are okay and which ones aren't.

No one ever said do not eat any red meat. Red meat is an essential part of one's diet unless you are a vegetarian. However, it is important to limit your consumption of red meat and put it in its place. In place of eating red meat continuously, try eating more chicken and seafood.

Make a healthy and nutritious dinner with potatoes.

 Instead of topping with just sour cream, cheese and bacon, try adding lots of fresh and cooked vegetables. 

Onions, broccoli, tomatoes are all great choices. You can also add black or pinto beans for an added punch of fiber.

Vegetarians and vegans may want to supplement their diets with B12. Diets without meat and dairy may be missing on some essential nutrients. A deficiency can cause food malabsorption, fatigue, and a host of other problems. If you are concerned about your nutrient intake, consider seeing your doctor for routine blood-work.

To incorporate good nutrition into your life, learning to do your own cooking is key. Freshly-prepared meals made from fresh ingredients beat pre-cooked and pre-packaged foods every time. Even if you do not make a special effort to cook healthy, you will still have a better diet cooking for yourself than you would relying on store-bought meals.

Hellooo :D Anon from the Loki aka Lollipops request, I think I'll appear here a few more times but not so much, because I don't want to waste so much of your time with all my requests Haha- Btw i love who you wrote my previous request! It's really funny and cute c: Getting to point-- Can I request Loki (You can also add someone) taking care of his newborn child it can be Y/N, reader. If you could do this thank so much in advance ( ◜‿◝ ) You can do this as a headcanons with some dialogue (:

You have no idea how much I love babies, I’ll add dr strange in this one too

Taking care of their newborn:

Loki:

He wasn’t hit with the actual reality that he’s a father until he held his tiny baby for the first time

It was so emotional, especially if the baby had features from him like his eyes or dark hair

"How could I be a part of creating such precious and fragile being"

He didn’t know much about babies but he was ready to learn

Books, videos and even asking advice from other parents he knowns like tony or Clint

He doesn’t care for gender but if it was a girl he really wants to name her after his mom or let her name the baby

Does a lot of skin to skin, so it’s common to find him shirtless gently caressing his baby

He doesn’t need much sleep but still get paranoid if he leaves it alone to get something

There was a point where he would cry if the baby cried because he didn’t understand what they needed

Loves the baby voices they make and records whenever he could

Frigga would absolutely never say no to babysitting her grandchild

I like to think that Loki’s baby is one of those quiet babies that doesn’t cry a lot and just want to be held

He will spend so much money on cute baby outfits because he just can’t resist

Pepper gave his baby a knitted hat with horns like the ones on his helmet and he almost died of cuteness

Only a couple few are allowed to hold his baby

If his partner can produce milk he’ll help them bottle it

The baby sleeps a lot during the day so he spend his time cleaning around and making sure the area is pleasant for him and his baby

The will leave in the middle of the night if he has to, to buy diapers or some type of medication

Low key was concerned the baby would come out blue

Hums Asgardian songs to help the baby sleep

His mother gave him a toy she kept from his childhood for his baby to play with

Literally would snap at anyone who remotely looks weird at his baby 

Uses magic tricks to make the baby smile

Dr. Strange:

Strange used to be a doctor, well a surgeon to be exact but seeing new born babies wasn’t an odd sight for him

Though it’s different when that baby is his own

I feel like he would like a son

But if it was a girl she would be daddy’s little spoiled girl

Makes a check list he follows everyday to make sure he doesn’t forget something

Struggles with changing diapers for a while

Makes sure the baby takes all necessary vitamins if needed

Would prefer if his baby was feed natural breast milk but wouldn’t argue if his partner want to use formula ���

He’s so soft when the baby start babbling at him

Reads to the baby dr seuss books

Is great at knowing if the baby is sick or having a fever

Doesn’t like to take his baby to really big gathering areas

His baby’s picture is the wallpaper of his phone Lock Screen

The cape carries the baby sometimes when he’s busy doing keeper things

Wong is the number one babysitter

Tony and pepper send him a gift basket with new born necessities

Will ask for baby pictures if he’s outside doing hero work just to make his mood better

"You’re seriously ditching saving the world for this"

"If you needed me I would’ve known, now leave me and my family alone"

Matching brown gloves with his baby

[mandoowhorian]

My Mandalorian/Din Djarin Headcanons (S2 Spoilers!)

I haven’t really seen any that weren’t about relationships (reader) or nsfw stuff so here are some of mine :)

Din doesn’t actually have abs. Yeah abs are hot and whatever but since he doesn’t necessarily work that part of his body out, no abs. INSTEAD HE HAS A GORGEOUS LIL STUMMY

This man is vitamin D deficient (hehe)!!! Due to wearing armor constantly, the sun never really hits his skin meaning it can affect his mood quite often, and not only does fighting and hunting cause him physical pain, this man’s bones and joints are week! Drink some milk mando!!!

Absolute tree trunks for thighs that could crush the head of any bounty he came across (and me too)

Din is actually severely near (idk the terms but work with me) sighted but since the helmet adjusts his vision for him it doesn’t bother him much. But as soon as he takes it off he’s shuffling around the crest trying to find stuff

STRONK ass arms

Actually goes by he/they pronouns (before someone says I’m making it gay in mando’a there is so gender so being addressed with they pronouns feels normal to him)

Suppressed the urge to say “Re'turcye mhi Ad'ika” (goodbye little one) to Grogu when Luke took him away because 1. He was hella choked up 2. It’s something he felt was too personal to say in front of everyone

One of Din’s biggest fears is that should the kid be able to stay and live with him, is that Grogu will outlive him and be left with no one to take care of him

He cuts himself shaving... like a lot. No one really taught him how so every time it gets too long he stand in the mirror frustrated with the blade and does his best to carve out a lil moustache without carving too much of his face along with it

He only started growing a moustache cause he saw another bounty Hunter sport one and thought it looked cool

He is literally a space Mormon. That man has never seen tiddies before, and if he had by accident, he’d spin around so fast your head would spin

This one is obviously well known but this mf is so damn trusting of other people and never learns his lesson. HOWEVER, it stems for giving people the benefit of the doubt and a second chance. He was saved by a group that could’ve left him to die like his parents and his people, but instead was given the opportunity to live by the mandalorians believing in him. Although it’s not a mando code, it’s part of Din’s values.

Likes showing off how well he can maneuver his jet pack but would never say it

Has loads of scars and permanent bruises from his work and does his best to take care of his wounds but at this point he’s given up and cauterizes what he can then doesn’t care about the rest

Appreciates a good cup of soup. Not broth, but a good fucking soup. I know my man fucks with a good soup. Stew too. He’s sexy like that.

Still thinks about Omera (the hot milf from the planet Sorgan from episode 4) and can you blame him?

When he’s drifting through hyperspace and Grogu falls asleep in the pod, Din will lift his helmet just above his chin so the baby can hear his unmodulated voice and sings him softer versions of songs he heard as a child in Mando’a. He does it to help remember what words of the ancient language he was taught. He even made up a short “remix” if you will of one song and added the words “clan of two” in it

This man’s lips are CHAPPED as hell. Sahara desert kind of dry.

He does use lotion when he remembers to.

He showers whenever he can because he doesn’t know how long he’ll be out on a mission. He likes to make the water as hot as he can to ease his back and uses bar soap that he bought from a market on Naboo. (Scent is up to interpretation but I like to think it’s something a bit musky/pine related

He tolerates taking care of himself but only really does it because it’d be embarrassing to be a feared bounty hunter and then smell like shit

Likes walking around the razor crest in his socks when he can

Played peekaboo and tag with Grogu

All I can think of tonight, but if you use any of these in FICS, FANART, WHIPS, adding onto any, please tag me!! I wanna see/read them! I might make one about his views on relationships but we will see if people like this first. Also comment or send ur own if you want! My goal is to eventually make just one huge mando headcanon post

Do you like McDonald's sprite? I couldn't even tell you the last time I had a MdDonald's Sprite, so I don't recall. I'm not really a Sprite/7-Up/Sierra Mist type of gal. Their Coke is good, though.

What age did you start becoming more independent? Well, I'm 32 and can't say that I am to be honest. My health has really taken a toll and over the past 6 years now, especially the past few recent years when I experienced a lot of setbacks, so I've become a lot more dependent on my family and requiring a lot more help. Now with this brain fog shit and other setbacks, I feel completely useless right now. I could not do this on my own, there's no way.

How do you like your oatmeal? Butter, cinnamon, condensed milk, brown sugar.

Do you ever just dance around the house? Sure.

List 5 things you need to do soon. --There's some things I'd like to go shopping for at a few different places.

-- I need to get my laptop checked out because I, the biggest dumb ass, dozed off one night while sitting up on my laptop with a cup of hot Sleepy Time tea and it ended up tipping over and spilling onto my keyboard D; I thought I had cleaned it up quickly and I had a cover over my keyboard, but when I tried to use it later on the keyboard wouldn't work at all and my laptop is stuck in recovery mode or something. I'm so grateful my brother has let me borrow his for the time being since he doesn't really use it, otherwise I'd really be going insane.

Do you use Facebook? Yeah.

Would you say you're well educated on religious topics? No.

I can't believe I used to be able to do that and now I need help out of bed and someone to push me in my chair most of the time. I used to have really good upper body strength and now I'm just so weak. It's sad.

Building Your Survival Food Pantry

When I was a child, we had a bomb shelter. My parents didn’t build it – it was there when they bought the house. But they did stock it with what they believed to be the most important survival items, should we ever get “hit.” I remember several battery-operated items – radio, flashlights, and such – and of course, clothing and bedding in a trunk. But then there were the food and drink items - our survival food pantry. There were all sorts of canned goods, of course, and large bottles of water (only glass in those days). Foods that normally came in boxes (e.g., cereal and powdered milk) were put into glass jars. Times have changed. Now that we have plastic and bagged items with long shelf lives, bomb shelter food would look very different today (except for the powdered milk, I suppose, which I always hated). And there are plenty of ways to keep food items water-proof. A nuclear event is not the only disaster for which we need to be prepared these days. Earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes are all on the rise, as well as real threats from people both within and outside our country. Then there are blizzards, pandemics, and long-term power outages as we recently saw in Texas. And the Boy Scout motto of “Be Prepared” should still guide our preparedness. So, let’s take a look at what a survival food pantry should look like today. Whether we face a short-term or long-term disaster, it is best to plan for a long-term food and water shortage at the onset. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9J31WXxAEwY Survival Food Pantry Basics – The List - Water: It’s the “rules of threes” here. You can survive three minutes without oxygen, 3 days without water, and three months without food. If you are breathing, then water is the next priority. If you are planning a pantry for “bug-in” survival, you will want between ½ - 1 gallon of water per day, per person. This also presupposes that, if you have a means of cooking, you may use some water. And there is personal hygiene to think of too. In short, water must be your top priority. If the public water supply is disrupted, then any tap water will have to be purified once that supply is restored. A few drops of household bleach per gallon will do the trick and save you from the necessity of boiling if your power is out. If you are thinking in terms of a “bug-out” survival, water will be too heavy to carry. What you want instead is a water collection device and filters. And, if you have access to wood and bring matches, boiling water is always an option here.

And they will provide a variety of foods so that you don’t face “food boredom.” Think in terms of canned meats, beans (a great source of protein), fish, fruits, and veggies. Variety is the key here so that you and your family members have choices. And these can be eaten without cooking. After all, your instant pot may not be an option right now. Canned soups are a great option if you buy those that are not concentrated. They can be eaten right out of the can without the need for water or cooking. Ensure you have a good rotation plan also. - Food in Jars: Here’s where the advent of plastic comes in. There’s a huge list of food and drink that now comes in plastic jars that prevent breakage and are less in weight. Think peanut butter and jelly; think bottled juices; think fruits. They, too, have long shelf lives and can provide a good variety. - Snacks: Snacks can provide a bit of a respite from the boredom that comes from lack of electricity and Wi-Fi. Crackers and chips come boxed and bagged. If humidity is an issue, then it can be stored in plastic bags. They have a long shelf-life and will not have to be “changed out” too often.  Dips are obviously out to “dress up” these items, but there are freeze-dried meats that will do, as well as peanut butter. If you can’t cook popcorn is out, but nuts are not. Stock up on a good variety. - Dried Foods: These were not around when I was a kid, but just go through any grocery store and look at all the possibilities. There are dried fruits and meats galore – everything from jerkies to fruit leather, to banana chips. Stock up on plenty of these – lightweight and nutritious. - Granola Bars: I put these in a separate category because they are a source of almost every nutrient we need – protein, carbs, a bit of fat, and even that need for something sweet. If you should have to “bug out,” they are lightweight, have a long shelf life, and can provide the energy you will need. Look for those that are high in protein – this provides long-term energy, while carbs and sugars are only for the short-term. - About that Powdered Milk: Fortunately, powdered milk now comes in cans, as opposed to those traditional boxes. You do not have to take measures to protect it from water damage. When reconstituted with water, it can be used on cereal and for cooking (e.g., mashed potatoes) if you have an alternative cooking method during power outages. If you have children who cannot tolerate the taste, then have a supply of canned chocolate or strawberry syrup to “sweeten the deal.” - Pasta, Rice, Noodles: These can be temporarily filling because of their carb content. But here’s the thing: they must be cooked, and that will require using your supply of water. If you are sheltered in place with your public water supply still available, then all is good. You can cook these up as much as you wish. But if your water supply is cut off, or you have to use alternative methods for cooking, these are probably not good options. Still, put them in your pantry on the chance that they can be prepared. - The Debate About Couscous: Yes, this is a type of pasta, made from small grains of a specific type of wheat flour. The beauty of it is that it is steamed rather than boiled and takes far less water to cook. Unlike traditional pasta, couscous cooks in about two minutes. On the other hand, it is extremely high in gluten. So, if you have family members with gluten sensitivity, it is not an option. Planning for Long-Term Survival in Place As mentioned above, your food pantry should be planned for long-term survival, even if an immediate event is only short-term. Our goal for long-term survival in place is to have those food items that: - Provide solid nutrition - Can be prepared using as little fuel and water as possible - Will be “damage-proof” - Are as compact as possible - Have a variety of flavors and consistencies, so that “food boredom” doesn’t set in Here are some things to think about as you stock that survival food pantry: - Avoid dried beans. While they are a great source of protein, they take lots of water and fuel to cook. Items like navy beans and great northern beans now come in cans. Opt for that alternative. - Water is still the highest priority. Have ½ - 1 gallon per person per day for about a month. Beyond that, you will need a water-collection device/process and water filters to purify that water. - Rely on canned goods as much as possible, but remember they have lots of sodium and sugar, so are not as healthy as other options. - Freeze-dried fruits and veggies are a must. They don’t take up much space, and they are sources of essential nutrients and antioxidants. They are also important to keep your intestinal functions operating properly. You will get the right amounts of vitamins and minerals through these freeze-dried items. - Honey has no shelf-life. It can last forever. Have lots of it to use as a sweetener, and it does come in plastic containers. - Instant oatmeal packets. Place these in plastic bags to preen water damage. They are reconstituted with a small amount of water and heat. Use honey for sweeteners. While sugar lasts forever too, it does not have the health benefits of honey and is susceptible to humidity. - A variety of oils can add “spice” and flavor to foods. And most come in plastic containers now. If you can cook, use them liberally. They are caloric heavy and can provide energy as well as better taste. - Ramen: This is a common survival food for college students on tight budgets, but there are survival benefits too. They are good sources of carbs and take only a small amount of water to cook. - Freeze-dried and dried meats: these can last over a year. - Canned tuna in oil: perfect source of protein and Omega-3. - Granola and protein bars: Perfect for snacks and well-rounded nutrition. One Keynote here: make certain that all foods that are packaged in boxes or paper-type containers are stored in water-proof packaging, such as mylar bags that are vacuum-sealed. If You have to bug out When you have to evacuate, you face unique challenges. Of course, you cannot drag jugs of water and canned goods in backpacks. A wheeled cart is certainly a short-term solution, but it will not house everything you may need for a long-term bug-out situation. Your options are limited, so focus on these items: - A water collection device and filters - Survival Matches - Flashlights with new batteries or headlamps - Fully lightweight nutrition bars and other freeze-dried items You Can do This... Planning ahead is the best scenario for survival. Water and food are key factors in that planning. Make a list of items for both short and long-term survival, get to your grocery store and other retailers with the right supplies and equipment. You can be prepared for any disaster, and that brings a lot of peace of mind. Author’s bio. Jessica Fender is a professional writer and educational blogger.

[neo-shitty]

toffee!

ah yeah, i think quarentine has given people some opportunity to actually just sit with the person they are, rather than be rushing around for the person they want to become. its good you got smth good out of isolation! ah thats great! hope you had fun and ur partner in crime speeds back home so you can get out more hehe.

ah yeah ty, good suggestions.

hmm good point, i was sort of putting it separate to the whole not-sexualising thing, but yeah. mmm yeah i totally agree, some of the enhypen fics/imagines *shudder* and even reading innie stuff is just a bit *icky* cos everyone still thinks of him as our agi ppang. yeah def would be good but sadly this just seems to be the world we live in. :(

ah yes the holy masterlist (not sarc) i have actually read in the rain and gladius maximus before, but ill go look for in class! oooh thats good! character development lol. hmmmm yes champagne problems was the angst to end all angst, that shit hurt. it was actually one of the first of your fics i read and i recall almost crying over the whole thing, it was so heartbreaking, i can see how it almost made you want to drop angst. good that youve allowed yourself some lee-way tho :)

hehe thats so cool. okay here we go, ill try not to be mortally offended (/hj)

cheese - yes same, i liked it but that was all there was, it wasnt a super standout track. it was rlly underwhelming for me but some of the hook is super catchy so there is Redemption (tm) in store for cheese maybe

thunderous - mmm, yeah at first i totally agreed, i think they suffer from too much good music syndrome, that all their other tracks are such fucking bops its hard to stay at that level of perfection. the choreo was beautiful tho and tbh, the track has grown on me since ive been watching all the vids abt it. its my brothers favourite track

domino - YES GODAMMIT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE TITLE TRACK. the raps, the vocals, the vibes, the fucking domino sound in the back? i would have streamed that shit on repeat. but tbh, as good as it is, it doesnt have that sort of grandness/oomph that skz seems to like in their title tracks so i can see why they chose thunderous (tho domino would have been so good) *sigh*

ssick - yeah same, not my fave track by a long mile, the crowd cheering was a ?strange? choice and the chorus was a bit bare/empty, plus like i mentioned earlier, it was kinda funny to me for some reason but ill still play it if im playing thru the whole album

the view - ahh one of those not like other girls (/j) i honestly think its just a good party song, just a bop to play in the background when nobodys rlly paying much attention. its pretty generic pop music but catchy

sorry, i love you - hehe yeah i thought it was going to be sadder as well, but i rlly loved the fact that they all just got to sing, which almost never happens, i dont think ive heard felix sing for a long time, so i enjoyed it. wasnt rlly a standout track but i just casually like it. looking forward to the fic haha

silent cry - this song i swear, some bits are rlly good and then others are just? why?? it does sound like a dance song tho idk. definitely not one of my faves either

secret secret - YES its so good! its such a chill song and i love their vocals in it. the combination of lo-fi/fake strings backup stuff and their heavenly vocals just makes it *chefs kiss* im listening to it rn and just... its so beautiful. it gives me pumped up another day vibes ya know? like my pace is edgy get cool, this one is energetic another day i feel like. overall i love it

STAR LOST - ah thats so cool! i didnt know that! on first listen this song had a similar vibe to secret secret but then the beat came in and ahh its such a good song. i can totally imagine them putting this song to a concert footage vid, this song is so sweet.

red lights - LMAO YES ITS SO AWKWARD WHY DOES IT GO ON FOR SO LONG ah thats good! yeah good point, its quite intense hehe. but that is my fave trope and this is lowkey my favourite track on the album so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ just the combination of hyunjins and chans voices, the backing music, the lyrics ahh red lights my beloved

surfin’ - yes lmao its always a shock, i feel like they should have put gone away in between them, but its such a fun cute song, i cant get rlly mad. yeah, as an aussie i think im contractually obligated to like beaches lol. sand im not such a fan of, but my familys rlly into fishing and my brother loves bodyboarding so we stay at a beach house at least twice a year and we live like 5 mins from 3 different beaches (hehe all aussie cities are on the coast lol) so thats cool. do you like beaches?

gone away - ah gone away my beloved, i love this song sm, its just so pure and showcases their vocals and lyrics so well. yes the pitch change is very out of the blue, i feel liek they went directly from seungmins soft vocals to hans powerful ones which was an interesting choice, but hey, im not complaining

wolfgang - YES IKR ah im so happy he got to be included in that era and song. yeah its such a full on song i cant rlly listen to it if im in a quiet mood but its very motivating :)

hehe mood, i hope they do! ahhh no rest, but at least you wont have to pull a blink and wait a year for any word from the group lol. im not rlly into nct but im excited for them! ah hopefully youll be able to sneak some rest into that chaotic schedule, with enhypen (idk if u stan but yeah) squeezed into it haha

<3 w.a. 🐺

i wheezed at partner in crime, it reminded me of smth. i have a lee know fic in the drafts that i wrote 'in honor' of him (and his departure-ish). i'll tag you when i finish it, if you want. it's a rather hilarious one.

oh my god. based on my experience on the collabs i've joined before, writing explicit shit for '01 & '02 is not accepted (nct's maknaes) but with enha's hyung line '01 & '02 somehow it's okay? i do a double take every time i see fics like those i mean, technically, it's legal but still what the fuck. maybe it's just not for me at the moment. not at us venting our frustration about this. it's just something that's so accepted here that i am (in all honesty) slightly uncomfortable about. but oh well. that's kpop writerblr for you.

man i could've linked all the fics in the ask instead so you wouldn't have to go looking for them! i think i saw you like in class the other day (the fic i renamed into sharp-tongued, god it took me a while to remember the new title). describing champagne problems as an angst to end all angst is one way to put what i was feeling back in december. it just hurt to write and admit?? if that ever happened to me i would prolly cry :d

okay back to the album talk! i love how you answered with more thoughts. i love exchanges like these! i am a victim of the cheese hook and it's now one of my favorite tracks in the album. PLS, TOO MUCH GOOD MUSIC SYNDROME. that's on our self-producing kings 😌💅 also, your brother has taste! as i am typing this, domino's currently playing in my head and i realized that too, that it doesn't have that 'vibe' of a skz title track. honestly, this could be a title track of another group. ssick is starting to grown on me because i found the beats cool kdjsk not the not like other girls 😭 the view is the generic pop that i don't like but i get why a lot of people enjoy it. sorry i love you scratches a certain itch that i find myself singing the first few lines every time i remember it. i too would want to hear felix sing more!

> a mini junction on the album talk bc i got side tracked. on that topic, i want skz to switch positions at some point like i know those allrounders are capable of doing so. specifically, i want to hear seungmin rap!!!! (yk in the recent weekly idol he talked faster than changbin in a challenge and changbin is like the fastest rapper in kpop that's active atm if im not mistaken. my dandy boy has some potential and i want it UNLEASHED.)

back to album talk. silent cry is basically sad music to twerk to. secret secret is definitely one of my favorite tracks :( i loved how you compared the tracks HAJSAH i burst out laughing bc yk what, you're right! i want to make a star lost edit of skz but i simply do not have the time i want to cry. i love the song so much. ok, my dreaded track, red lights. idt i have played the track since we last talked. my friend sent me the lyrics tho and i'm itching to write a twisted au out of it. idk if you're comfortable with yandere but somewhere along those themes. the obsessive type of love that's sweet at first but turns rotten. IMAGINE IF THEY PUT GONE AWAY BETWEEN ASHJA it's like going from 50 shades to the notebook.

i was about to ask if you lived near the coast and you literally mentions it here god im so stupid. yes i LOOOOOOOOOVE beaches so much. living in an archipelago is fun :( i live in a part of the country that's more island than city so every time i want some vitamin sea it's accessible. i heard the waves in australia are great :( anYWHOOO gone away :(( every time it plays im compelled to skip it because it makes me sAD AND NOWADAYS I DONT HAVE THE TIME TO BE SAD. contrary to you, i dislike my quiet moods because i tend to overthink a lot.

i have this little analogy about how there are stays that enjoy songs the generic pop + mellow songs and then there are other stays that enjoy the noisy tracks. in my mind, it's like a perfect balance that makes me feel like all the tracks are loved in the end. just by different people.

PULL A BLINK. bro i fucking hate yg entertainment. they have the biggest kpop girl group LOCKED in their basement when they could be (and i mean this in the most business-like way not morally) milking money of the quad. they're yg's biggest hope at not being bankrupt atm so it's a damn fucking mystery to me as to how they aren't doing anything. (jk i just realized lisa solo album soon, but i still need a ot4 cb hELLO)

i stopped looking forward to the teasers. rest > kpop boys. i don't want to sound like a cult member but have you tried checking out nct? are they just not your thing? (i get it tho, that's one hard group to get into). and yes i do stan enhypen!

9. What was the last thing you had to drink? Water ahah

12. Did you buy any new clothes last weekend? No

13. What’s the last sporting event you watched? I have been feeling very disconnected from watching football games lately, probably because seeing the stadium completely empty makes me sad...

25. Look to your left, what do you see? The door 🚪

26. What chore do you hate most? I actually enjoy cleaning if I have time to do it and I don’t mind most chores because I A) transform them into some sort of game (hanging and folding the laundry it’s my fave and also doing the dusting) or B) sing while I do them 😂 but if I have to pick one I’ll say making the bed because I have a bunk bed and I sleep in the top bed so it’s a struggle 😆

27. What do you think of when you hear an Australian accent? I like it! I’m not super familiar with it but I like it!

28. What’s your favorite soda? not a fan of sodas but I like Fanta!

35. Favorite day of the week? Saturday, hands down! I think because I associate it with when I was in high school and uni and Saturday afternoon was “sacred”: no homework and no studying (unless I had an exam the week after), Saturday afternoon was made for meeting friends, enjoying my hobbies or just relaxing! And it still retains that atmosphere for me!

36. Can you say the alphabet backwards? Probably? Oh my goodness, I think I could but very slowly??

39. Time you normally get up? When I was working at the theatre I usually got up at 7,30 am, now I usually get up at 9am!

40. What do you prefer, sunrise or sunsets? Ahhhh some sunsets make me sad, but it depends on the situation, so I'm gonna say sunrise!

41. How many blankets on your bed? one

42. Describe your kitchen plates. If I could decide I would always have colored/patterned plates because I hate white, empty things (empty walls 😭), they give me a sense of unease! Unfortunately my parents bought white plates xD

43. Describe your kitchen at the moment. Not so tidy ahah

44. Do you have a favorite alcoholic drink? I don’t drink alcohol because I get sooo sleepy and lightheaded after half a glass of wine 😂 I can relate to lwj so much... But I love sweet wine!! Just in very small doses and preferably with a very low alcohol percentage 😂

45. Do you play cards? I used to play cards a lot!! My favorite games where scala quaranta, burraco and scopa, they're Italian games and I don't know if they have an equivalent in English 😱 My problem is I forget about the rules of the game if I don't play for some time xD

46. What color is your car? Don’t have one xD

47. Can you change a tire? I have no idea!!! 😱

48. Your favorite state or province? I suppose this is about the US but I'll talk about Italy and while my region is beautiful my favorite one is Tuscany! :D But there are some regions I've never been to!

49. Favorite job you’ve had? The one I was doing before this pandemic so ballet dancer! I tried different things to survive but honestly nothing beats the feeling of waking up, leaving the house and knowing your workplace is the theatre... Climbing the stairs to the ballet studio, walking through the corridors and hearing opera singers and musicians rehearsing, going to the stage or in the seats just to have a look at the empty theatre 🥺 Ahhh I'm making myself cry here, Gloria out!!! 😂

[finn-wolfhard]

I need me some quality content and this is the best place for it. Could I get some being Steve's sister and dating Robin? (If that already exists somewhere then please direct me to it bc this idea is like crack to me) Thanks!!

Yo! I've just gotten back into Tumblr since quarantine has given me an abundance of time. I can guess that you ended up getting this elsewhere, anon, but for the folk who also want to read about wlw Robin B and Big Bro Steve - this ones for you! 

Enjoy x

I Do 

“Turn that shit down! GOD! I feel I’m listening to them in concert.” Steve was screaming from downstairs for me to turn my music down and before I could move an inch to do so, he barged through the door. “Look, I don’t want another complaint from Mrs. Fritz next door. Can you please turn it down. I promised mom and dad that the roof would still be on this place by the time they got home. I’m heading to work. The money for delivery is on the table. Just try not to get yourself into bother, OK?” 

“Yeah, sure, sorry Steve. What time will you be home?” our parents are both out of town on business and so Steve has been appointed man of the house. Last time we were left alone, Mrs. Fritz called the police on us, placing a noise complaint. It was just me playing my radio a little bit too loud in my room. My bedroom window is right next to her living room. 

“I’ll be home around 8. Do you want to wait till I’m home to order pizza?”

“Sure thing, dude” I answered, giving him a thumbs up and a grin.

“You’re a goof. I’ll see you at 8.”

Steve and I’s relationship is reasonably good for the average brother and sister. He’s a year older than me and has the same interests. Such as; Hair, Pizza, our looks, and girls. I’ve known I’ve been into girls since I was a little kid but dad would kill me if I ever brought a girl home. Mom would be a little more understanding, yet still against the idea - and I don’t even know how Steve would react if he found out. I think he’s the only person I’d be fully comfortable telling, but I don't want to risk it going the complete opposite way.

I hear the door slam and decide to get out of my pajamas and actually DO something today. The schools broke up for summer last week and all I’ve been doing is reading, listening to music, and waiting for my best friend Jennifer to get home from vacation and tell me all about it. She’s due home in three days. I finally muster up enough self-motivation to move from my cozy, pink bed to the bathroom. The cold tiles under my feet wake me up and I stare at myself in the mirror for a bit. I had managed to grow a little spot just below my hairline (which I quickly treated with zit cream) but that was about as far as the flaws went. I usually take good care of myself; drinking enough, taking my vitamins, brushing my teeth after every meal. I do care about my looks and I shouldn’t be ashamed of that. It helps gets me a lot of attention in school, and I’ve never been an outcast. I guess having Steve as a big brother does contribute to the high school fame, but I don’t let it get to me much. I'm just glad I’ve gotten through high-school without being bullied at least once. I looked at my scraggly hair. I had just had a perm done two weeks ago and it seemed to be holding up pretty well. I scrunched my hair to make it look nice and messed it up a bit to give it volume. 

In the kitchen, there was the money on the table, like Steve said, and a note next to it. 

Save me a slice! Steve :)

He must’ve written the note then realized that a slice won't suffice after a long shift at his dorky Scoops Ahoy! job, and asked me to wait up for him. It's a shame people don’t get to see this side of Steve and I. I know how we come across to other people. I’ve heard the odd remark here and there about how he’s a player and I’m a priss. It mostly comes from the social outcasts in the school, the ones who aren’t in our friend circles, and don’t get to see what we’re really like. Even then, our school personalities are a bit of a performance to uphold our popularity. Only Steve knows my real self and vice verses, and we both understand why it has to be like that. Its an unspoken rule type thing. 

I open the fridge and get some milk for cereal. I pour a bowl of Fruity Pebbles. Fred smiles at me from the box as I grab the phone off the wall and dial Amanda’s number. 

“Hey Mands, you want to go to the mall today”

“y/n! Hi! That sounds great. I need a new outfit for my date with Justin on Friday.”

“Cool, so, 12? That sound ok?”

We agreed on 12:30 (since she had to take her dog on a walk) and she suggested we meet outside the Gap. Soon enough, 12:30 rolls around and I see Amanda smiling wildly at me, where she said she'd be, outside the Gap. She sweeps me into a warm hug and we gush about how much we’ve missed each other since school broke up. 

“Ok, so I need to go to Claires to get some earrings.” I agree to help her find a pair that would, quote “make Justin harder than math.” I don’t really understand how a pair of earrings could do this to a guy, or even if guys pay attention to earrings at all, but I was open to being proved wrong. We start making our way to the stairs when Amanda realizes she’s suddenly craving ice cream. I put it down to the fact that there were Scoops Ahoy! Adverts on every trash can (I’m unsure if that is a sign or not). We make a detour to Steve’s work and I make a plan to pull a few strings to get a free cone or two. We enter the ice cream parlor and… Steve isn’t there. Instead, a girl with short blonde hair is serving the queue of customers. 

I squint at her, trying to remember her name. Rosie? No, that's not it. It begins with an R for definite. Its to do with an animal… a R-R-Robin! Her name is Robin. And she’s…pretty? Like, really pretty. And not very girly? I can’t tell since she’s wearing a silly uniform… but god, is she pretty. 

As I’m staring at her, a slew of slurs come racing into my mind. Slurs I panicked were being shouted at me down the halls but never were. They were always aimed…at her. At Robin. Words beginning with D and F that make my blood boil. Chip, A boy in my own friend group, muttering “Stay away from my sister, homo!” In class. I put a hand up to my mouth to hide a gasp. This girl was outed, by someone she thought was her friend from band, in Hawkins - which isn’t known for being the most accommodating and accepting town.

Amanda and I reach the front of the queue and I find myself unable to look directly at the girl serving me. 

“Hi! Welcome to Scoops Ahoy! What can I get you today?” She seemed overly enthusiastic for some reason. 

“Hi, is Steve here?” I say, breaking the awkwardness I had built up in my own mind. She looked away, disheartened? I couldn’t tell. 

“Steve, your sisters here” then she whispered something that sounded like “you can leave your little nerd friend to figure it out for a bit” but I wasn’t really sure. 

Steve appeared from around the corner.

“what do you want, squirt?” 

“2 sundaes please” I replied, smiling.

“that will be five dollars pleas-“

“STEVE! Can’t you gift your baby sister with a sundae for once?” I cut him off, appalled that he’s making me pay, but still keeping it lighthearted. 

“…fine. But only this ONE TIME” he shot back. I winked at him, thanked him, and waited for him to finish our sundaes. He brought them over and sat with us. 

“Who’s that girl?” I instantly questioned, trying not to sound too interested but failing miserably.

“Oh, that's Robin Buckley. She’s in your year at school, don’t you know her?” I do know her. But I don’t want to admit that yet, I want to play it cool.

“I think I’ve seen her around yeah, I’ve just never had a good look at her before. I think she’s in my social studies class?” I look to Amanda to ask this question but Amanda is already nodding by this point. Steve looks unconvinced. 

“well, I invited her for pizza tonight,” he said, not wanting to ask ‘is that ok?’ In front of Amanda to keep up his macho ‘I’m Steve Harrington’ persona. I glance over at Robin. By this time, she’s known as lovely Robin in my head. Not that I could help it, along with the butterflies in my stomach or the extreme excitement that she was going to be having dinner. With me. In my house. Tonight!… What am I doing? Get a grip of yourself! You’re not out - as if that is ever going to happen anyways - and Robin was coming for Steve. Of course she was. I mentally roll my eyes. Just my luck.

The rest of the day goes by pretty quickly. Amanda gets her outfit and ‘math’ earrings - which I still don’t understand - and I get a few cute t-shirts and skirts thanks to my allowance mom gave me before she went away. By the time I get home, it is 4 pm which means I have precisely 4 hours to get myself ready for tonight. I go to my room, read for a bit, then put my makeup on in my vanity mirror. I don’t want to mess this up, but then again, why am I caring so much?. I eventually get myself sorted and wait for 8 pm to roll around. At 7:45 I phone Hal’s Pizza Shop and order 2 pepperoni pizzas and 1 plain Margherita. I came to the decision that If Robin is vegetarian then she can have the just cheese, but if not, I’ll take it.  

I hear Steve’s key in the lock and he shouts to me from downstairs.

“Hey that's me back, y/n, did you order the pizza?” 

“Sure did!” I came to the top of the stairs and looked down at the front door. Robin was staring up at me and I couldn’t help staring at her back. Steve obviously missed this whole exchange of tension.

“Good! Because I’m starving. I’m gonna put a video on, anyone down for watching Indiana Jones?” He mimics a whipping sound and runs off to the living room, leaving Robin and me to awkwardly start a conversation. 

“So, you work with Steve. I’ll apologize on your employer's behalf.” I laugh, eventually. Robin looked relieved that I had said something, and even more so that it was a joke. 

“It's not as bad as you would think, he brings in loads of customers with that ‘magnificent hair’” she replies, making fun of Steve’s obsession with his, admittedly, perfect mane. 

“I’ve seen you about school before, sorry I’ve never talked to you before,” I said. I really meant it, she seems cool. And kinda hot? But that wasn’t important to me…

“Yeah, I guess our groups don’t tend to mix as much. I'm surprised you even know my name” she looks at her feet. She knows I know about the slurs and bullying, I can tell. Just then, there's a ring at the door and Steve reappears, running to get the door that we are standing 2 inches away from. 

After sitting, eating, chatting, and laughing our way through Indiana Jones, I realise Steve has fallen asleep beside me. So does Robin. We both snicker at him and then collectively tuck him in with the blankets on the back of the sofa. We sit in silence for a minute. 

“Robin. I want to say I'm sorry for all the stuff you get called at school. It's not cool and especially from my group-“

“it's fine” she cuts me off. She seems distant though. 

“I don’t think you understand what it does to me hearing people shout words like that at someone. It's inhuman,” Robin looks at me over her cup of hot chocolate Steve made us halfway through the movie. She looks on the verge of tears. “I mean, I don’t know how I would cope with that if people knew I was one too.” I look away from her confused stare in embarrassment. Robin is the first person I tell this massive secret to and I've only been in her company for the past 3 hours? But it felt right. It felt too right, almost.

Robin picks herself up from her space in the armchair and comes to sit on the arm of the sofa. She doesn’t hesitate to put her arm around my shoulders and squeeze me in for a side hug. I hadn’t realized that I had started to cry and I wipe my eyes and nose with the back of my hand. 

“I’m so sorry they said those things to you” I whispered while silently sobbing.

“Don’t worry about it, y/n, I have pretty thick skin when it comes to bullying. I've been in band for the past 3 years,” I look at her and let out a small laugh. The smile fades from her lips and a serious look takes over her face. “You don’t need to feel ashamed. Or embarrassed. I’m honored you told me, I know how much trust that takes. Thank you.” 

We sit embracing for a couple of minutes and I try to defuse the tension. “You know, I think you’re pretty hot.” She laughs, and I can feel the heat radiating off of her. She’s blushing. 

“You’re not too bad yourself, Harrington,” she gives me a small smile. “I think you’re the prettiest girl in our year.” Now it was my turn to blush. I’m not sure if she’s saying this out of courtesy, sympathy, or if she really means it. 

“You don't have to say that” I roll my eyes and let out an embarrassed giggle. 

“I do.” She whispers back, the darkness multiplying the tension by 10. After a while of nervous silence, not sure what to say next, Robin asks you a question.

“I hope I’m not out of line for saying this, and you can one hundred percent say no,” I looked at her, questioningly, “but why don’t we go out sometime? We can go to the park or we can go to the cinema. Your choice… if you want-if you want to.” She was visibly nervous. In the pitch black, with only the dim glow from the paused movie TV static lighting up the room, I agreed to go on a date with her (”I’d like that”). We both can tell the other is excited but can also tell the other is exhausted. Robin moves back over to the armchair, which was just big enough for a teenage girl to curl up in, and I curl up to my sound asleep brother. It takes a while to finally get to sleep, but I can’t help my mind doing laps, thinking about my future date with Robin Buckley.

Dairy-Free Diet Plan for Weight Loss

Milk is considered an essential part of a balanced diet for its multifaceted benefits. It is a rich source of calcium, protein, and other nutrients that are necessary for the growth and development of the body, especially during the early years of life.

However, a lot of people have to avoid dairy (milk and other milk-based products) because of allergies, sensitivities and lactose intolerance. Lactose intolerance is the inability to process the sugar in milk, resulting in allergy, affecting around 65% of the population. Such people may miss out on the required quantities of essential nutrients that are required in the diet .

A dairy-free diet plan may sound like an unbalanced diet, but with the correct substitutes, one can ensure that they fill in the gaps and consume all nutrients in the correct quantities. There are various other common food options available that can provide the same nutrients as in milk and dairy products.

Is there a difference between dairy-free and non-dairy products?

People should also understand the difference between dairy-free and non-dairy items while browsing the supermarket for potential substitutes for milk products. Dairy-free products are completely free from milk and are rather prepared from alternative milk options such as soy milk, almond milk, etc.

On the other hand, the products that are marked non-dairy contain derivatives of milk in the form of milk protein. They may contain some percentage of casein, whey, caseinates, and other milk proteins that may not be a good fit for lactose-intolerant people or those who want to follow a diet plan for vegans.

What are the alternatives to milk for a dairy-free diet?

Whether you want options that support your vegan lifestyle, are lactose intolerant, or have just watched Jonathon Safran Foer’s Eating Animals documentary, there are various alternatives available in the market to help you remove milk and dairy products from your diet.

What can you eat?

You can consume milk substitutes while following different diet plans. Along with that, include dairy-free food that is rich in calcium, protein, and vitamin D to fill the nutritional gap left by the absence of milk. You can also consume products that are labeled as dairy-free.

Here are the nutrients that need attention to substitute for loss of nutrients found in dairy.

Protein

Protein is an essential part of the diet, especially if you follow a lifestyle with a high level of physical activity.. Protein has a high satiety factor that helps reduce the need to eat frequently, thus helping replace frequent feeding of carbohydrate and fats. It is an essential addition to a dairy-free diet plan.

You should  include protein-rich items like soybean, tofu, rice and pea protein powders in your diet. If you follow a non-vegetarian diet plan, then eggs and fish can also be great options to fulfil your body’s protein needs.

Calcium

Milk is essential for building bone mass. It is considered the most vital mineral for growing children. On average, an adult person requires around 1000 to 1300 mg of calcium per day. You can fulfil this need by adding non-dairy products such as dark green leafy vegetables, calcium fortified soy milk and almond milk, calcium supplements etc.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is required by the body so that it can process and absorb the calcium obtained from the diet. If you are adding calcium-rich products to your dairy-free diet plan, you will need a substitute for dairy milk that can provide the required amount of Vitamin D to your body as well. Food items such as fortified cereals, eggs, fish, cod liver oil, etc., are rich non-dairy sources of Vitamin D.

Phosphorous

Another mineral that will get removed from your diet once you cut off milk will be phosphorous. It is required to ensure proper cell function in the body. You can add legumes, bread, and fatty fish to ensure your body gets an adequate amount of phosphorus.

Riboflavin

Riboflavin or Vitamin B2 is required to process carbohydrates in the body. Thus, you will need it essentially if your target is to lose weight. Whole grains, leafy vegetables, sweet potatoes, B-complex supplements are some options that can be added to the diet.

Some of the most commonly available and affordable products are provided below.

Non-Dairy Milk

Various natural and plant-based milk alternatives are available in stores these days. Milk can be extracted from soy, almond, rice, coconut, and seeds such as hemp seeds. You will find refrigerated soy milk available in similar packaging to usual dairy milk. These options are safe to use for people with dairy allergies.

Non-Dairy Yoghurt

Non-dairy yoghurt is created from non-dairy alternatives to milk. Most products that you will find in the market are created from soy milk and provide similar flavour and texture as their dairy counterparts.

Non-Dairy Cheese

Various companies have begun producing non-dairy cheese options. Ensure that while buying, you check the list of ingredients. There should be no casein or its derivative present as those are derived from dairy milk.

You can also find options for non-dairy butter, ice cream, cream cheese, and much more in natural food stores and supermarkets.

Dairy-Free Diet Plan

Each diet plan varies based on the age, activity level, and lifestyle of the person. A vegetarian meal plan for bodybuilders and physically active adults will include a lot of proteins and fat. However, one can consider the average percentage of essential nutrients required by a person as follows.

Fats: 25%

Carbohydrates: 35%

Protein: 40%

Fibre: 10 to 15%

Depending upon your lifestyle choices, you can set an aim for the daily calorie intake. Based on that, you can create a dairy-free diet plan that includes dairy-free options with the required percentage of nutrients and match your required calorie intake. The following table gives you an example of how your dairy-free diet plans for weight loss should look like.

A dairy-free diet plan is suitable for individuals with various digestion problems primarily due to the lack of inability to break down lactose. Do not forget to calculate your calories and ensure that you intake the required amount of nutrients to maintain your health while following the diet routine. With Muscle Layman, you can get customized training and nutrition coaching.
