#or like because what if anon is a vegetarian

[thecontumacious]

YOUR WRITING????? HELLOOOO???????? i'm in love holy hell-

is it alright if i request luxiem with an introverted artist s/o who wants to draw their love but has trouble speaking up about it, worrying it'll come out weird ? it's alright if you can't do it!! thank you so much for your writing!!

Luxiem x Artist!GN!Reader

a/n: ehe, i'm glad that you enjoy my work, anon! i appreciate the lovely words~ fun fact: i am an introverted artist myself so this was also a bit personal for me! thank you so much requesting and i hope you enjoy the hcs <3

warnings: slightly suggestive on vox's part (when isn't he tho) and i want to apologize in advance for my vegan/vegetarian fellows because i implied in luca's hcs you're eating meat >-<

disclaimer: the art i inserted belongs to me!

you switch your vision continuously between your lover and your blank canvas, drawing utensil in one hand and absolutely anxious to get that single stroke down.

“oh, come on, you’ve drawn multiple times before. why can’t i do it now?” you mumble to yourself, biting your lip afterwards and then looking back at him. he was, of course, preoccupied with his stream and handling the game on screen. you’d plan on asking him to be your… model, but had never gone to it mostly because your courage hadn’t been up to par. however, when you intended to draw him today, you are held back and the nervousness settles in.

“what if it comes out weird?” you whisper, putting down your drawing instrument of choice back down. you were a fantastic artist! your family, your friends and your boyfriend told you that! you’ve made amazing pieces in the past and even drew some lovely fanart for the members of nijisanji. how is it so hard to draw your own boyfriend though?

was it because the stakes were much higher this time? an obligation to make this drawing very good because it was of your boyfriend? was it because you were worried he didn’t like the way you saw him in your art? okay, that might be exactly it…

you groan and collapse onto the couch, completely stumped and wondering if your dreams of finally drawing your vtuber lover will ever come to fruition.

“babe? are you alright?”

you look up and notice the person of the hour, the exact person you couldn’t exactly face this moment. you shook your head, laughing nervously while brushing your hand away in the air. he cocks an eyebrow at you, noticing the blank page of your canvas and the forsaken drawing tool.

“art block?” he asks, taking a seat next to you.

“n-not really…” you avoid his eyes and this was enough to raise suspicion. he studies your features carefully, in search for the source of your distress. school? work? or was it mere mental exhaustion…? he sighs when he can’t decide.

“who are you trying to draw anyway?”

your heart stops and you begin to contemplate whether it was a good idea to spill what’s been bothering you. when you sneak a glance at him and see his genuine worry, you finally choose to tell him.

Vox Akuma 👹🌹

“okay, vox, d-don’t laugh at me, okay!” you hold the drawing media against your chest while curling your lip.

vox only does the exact opposite of your request, “and why is that, dear? were you planning to draw me nude?”

you slap his arm, face warm from his idea and just how close he got to the actual answer. on the other hand, vox can only enjoy himself after teasing you

“n-not nude!”

“oh?” vox tilts his head to the side, smirking. “so it is me?“

shitʘ‿ʘ

“i- um-“ you look away again, overwhelmed by the embarrassment of being caught in his traps once again. you are at a loss of words, hastily trying to recover.

you then feel fingers grip your chin and you are face to face once again with vox, who is no longer laughing, but rather smiling gently.

“what are you so embarrassed about drawing me, my dear?” vox lets go of your chin and moves his fingers to card through your hair lovingly.

you sigh, “it’s just that… well, i was worried that it wouldn't come out as good. i really want to be able to draw you as i see you, you know? i really want to do you justice in my drawing, vox!”

vox‘s eyes are wide and he can’t help but let his heart skip a beat at how determined (and also really nervous) you are about drawing him.

he knows well enough how good you are at your craft and you always manage to produce such beautiful pieces. yes, he’s seen your times of creator’s block, but to think you’re so anxious because of him…

vox beams at you and brings you close for a tight hug, patting away at your head.

“my love, i know you. of course you will do great with your drawing of me. i have no doubt in your skills. you know what i’ve always told you, right?”

he pulls away a bit to see your face and then you frown.

“if it looks perfect in my eyes, then it’s perfect the way it is…”

“there we go,” he presses a chaste kiss to your forehead. “i promise you, that whatever you come up with, it will look absolutely beautiful.”

you whine, burying your head into vox’s chest. “goddammit, it’s like you’re hypnotizing me or something…”

you feel the rumble of his chuckle and it makes you smile, despite the slight anxiety.

“perhaps it’s my demonic nature,” the demon says, wrapping his arms around you once again. “while i’m at it, may i hypnotize you into drawing me nude?”

“don’t push your luck, demon!” you punch into his chest but you can’t help but chuckle at his goofiness, as always.

“oh, i just thought it would motivate you to draw me, you know? draw me like one your french girls~”

“vox!”

“i’m kidding!”

…

“you sure you don’t want to—ow! okay okay!”

Mysta Rias 🦊🔶

“ummmm, i don’t know if i should be telling you—“

“oh, come on! you’re like, really, really good at drawing. is there anything you can't draw?” mysta exclaims, crossing his arms as he looks at you confused.

“w-well, it’s not that i can’t draw him. i’m more worried if the end result will look… weird.”

“wait, him? who are you drawing anyway?? wait, hold on, is it vox??” mysta leans over towards you and you can’t help but laugh at how silly he was being. “or–or like luca??? no, no, it has to be shu. you said you were worried about coming out as weird so it has to be shu’s fucking complex style, right?”

“why is this becoming a game show?” you say through your laughs, “i might as well not tell you, mysta.”

mysta lurches back and gasps involuntarily, offended (?) what 💀

“it’s gotta be shu, right?” he frowns, curling his lip

“i don’t know, is it shu?” you giggle

“babe!” mysta whines, collapsing onto your lap and proceeds to poke at random spots of your body. “come on, come on, come on. tell. me. tELLLL. mEEEEE.”

he keeps bugging you by poking and inserting more of his guesses, and you are more baffled by the fact he hasn’t even mentioned himself—

“babe, babe, babe.”

“mysta, mysta, mysta.”

“tell me who it is.”

“well, i don’t know!” you chortle, “you haven’t given me a final answer!”

“alright i’m gonna go with…” mysta puts a hand to his chin and looks up. at this point, you genuinely don’t know whether he’s actually making a real, serious deduction or if he’s only going for the act.

“come on, great detective mysta rias!” you cheer him on half heartedly

mysta grins and suddenly sits up next to you.

“it has to be…

“me!”

⊙▂⊙

your jaw drops as you stare at mysta.

“what?” the said detective tilts his head when you don’t say anything (frankly bcs you’re absolutely surprised he actually got it and how you need to respond). mysta then begins to glow, “OH? I GOT IT RIGHT? YOU’RE DRAWING ME?”

you look away, still unprepared for an answer.

mysta shifts so he’s in your peripheral view again with the biggest grin on his face, “you’re drawing me, right? right?”

you push his face away, “y-yeah, i am.”

“awee! but wait, why are you nervous of drawing me? wait, am i that hard to draw?” mysta begins to study himself up and down, and you groan. “no seriously, what are you nervous about? you’re like a really good artist though!”

you turn to mysta and sigh, resting back on the couch

“look, thanks mysta, but… i don’t know. i just want to make sure i don’t mess you up, you know? i really want to draw you as i see you,” you frown, fiddling with your fingers.

mysta is quiet.

of course he would be! you’re so keen on making sure your portrait of him would look nice! but on the other hand, he feels sorta guilty for making you so stressed like this;-;

mysta crawls on top of you and holds your face, smiling brightly.

“hey! i believe in you!” he tells you. “i mean, if it doesn’t come out the way you want it, i’m still fucking ecstatic you drew me??? come on, a talented artist like you drew me??? that’s got to be like top tier.”

you giggle and lean into mysta’s hold

“you really think so?”

“yeah of course!” he leans in and pecks your forehead. “hey, don’t worry about it, alright? i’m gonna love it no matter what!”

you hug mysta and nuzzle into him. “okay, thank you, mysta.”

“so, you wouldn’t be mad if i drew you like this?”

“like wh— BABE THAT’S LITERALLY MY FACE WITH CLOWN MAKEUP— THAT'S HOW YOU SEE ME? NO DON'T MAKE IT WORSE—“

mysta: (-`д´-)

edit: GUYS LOOK 😭😭😭 thank you @holmes-cringe-compilation for the adorable doodle!! mysta should see this istg

other boys utc!

Luca Kaneshiro 🦮🔆

“well uh…” you fiddle with your fingers and begin to weigh your choices.

on one hand, you weren’t worried because this was luca after all… but then again, you were also nervous about luca thinking of it the wrong way

maybe it was better you didn’t tell him?

“it’s just someone with like… uh, a bit of a harder reference. like really complex designs and facial features i’m not used to is all, luca,” you smile, raising the canvas to your chest

luca tilts his head and you’re worried he’s gonna start asking questions, but he hums a minute before shrugging

“well, i hope you get it right, babe! good luck! also, what do you want for dinner? i’ll get going to the kitchen!”

“anything you want babe,” you smile as you pat his head.

“alrighty! ribs okay with you?”

“yep!”

luca nods, kisses your cheek before scrambling off to the kitchen.

you were so distracted by him that you almost forgot about your earlier predicament. it definitely wasn’t something you absolutely had to do or anything… okay, maybe it was.

maybe… maybe you could try drawing him again?

luca heals all injuries after all <3

you pick up your drawing elements, taking a deep breath to actually try drawing this time.

with a reference of luca on one hand, you begin to roughly sketch the basic shapes but somehow, it just kept going in the wrong direction or something… or whenever it did, it felt so off?

nope, not doing it today if this ain't me

you collapse once again, fighting the strong urge to toss the damn drawing media you had out the window

“hey, babe, do you want it spicy this time?” you hear luca yell from the kitchen

“it’s up to you, luca!” you answer him

“sorry couldn’t hear you!” that’s when you begin hearing luca stepping back into the living room and before you could even remember to close your reference, it seems luca has seen it already

oh dear

“oh? was that a picture of me?” luca steps closer and no matter what you did at that point, he’s already beginning to suspect

“ummmm no?” you casually flip your phone over and just as expected, luca’s interest becomes more piqued

“yeah it was!” he defies before completely leaning over the couch to reach for your phone.

“no luca wait—“

but with his physical features, your phone was in his in no time splat

“see? it’s me! oh, you’re trying to draw me?” he asks

no denying it now…

“um- well, yes…” you scratch your head awkwardly, avoiding eye contact.

“wait wait wait, i’m hard to draw?” luca pouts.

“wait luca it’s not like that…”

“ahhhhh i’m sorry for stressing you out like this!!” luca rounds the couch and collapses next to you, comical tears forming at the end of his eyes

you sigh, reaching for him. “luca, nooo it’s not like that… it’s just that i’m so nervous about getting it wrong because i really, really want it to look good. and well, i don’t want to disappoint you…”

“eh? disappoint me?” luca looks up and then sat next to you. “you’re worried it’s gonna look bad?”

“yeah,” you bite your lips and avoided his eyes.

“hey, hey, look at me,” luca’s hands touch your jaw and you reluctantly look at him. but his purple eyes are calming and you bare the embarrassment for him. “i don’t think you’ll ever disappoint me, like ever, babe. whatever drawing you make either of me or anyone else, i think it’ll look super pog anyway! because you’re talented like that, you know?”

you pout, “really?”

“obviously yeah!” he brings you in for the biggest bear hug<3 “you are a real pogchamp! i’ve seen you struggle with art block before so, i know you’ll get there!”

“thanks luca,” you mumble into his chest.

“hey, so like after dinner, can i help you out?”

“help me out?”

“yeah like with your drawing of me! i’m right here sooo i’m gonna help you out like with the posing and details and stuff!”

you grin, kissing his nose, “of course you can, boss.”

Ike Eveland 🖋💙

“j-just someone…”

“someone?” ike tilts his head at you, before biting his lips in thought.

here’s the thing with ike though

he’s more than likely going to figure out what’s bothering you and he’s not going to exactly budge if you don’t cave in

“okay, okay i’ll tell you…” you take a deep breath. “it’s you i’m trying to draw…”

“me?” ike sits a bit straighter, eyes wide and jaw open.

“y-yeah,” you look down and begin to fiddle with your fingers, nervous of the outcome.

ike on the other hand, can only smile gently. “awe that’s so nice, sweetheart, thank you. and what’s bothering may i ask?”

“w-well, ah, you know…” you laugh nervously

“no i don’t know,” ike giggles as he leans against the couch before batting his eyes at you innocently.

this little menace(￣个￣)

“ikeeeee,” you pout

“what?” ike laughs. “i don’t actually know! only you can tell me, darling!”

you groan out of frustration and how terribly right ike was

ike leans in and begins brushing through your hair with only the sweetest and patient smile. he says, “what’s worrying you so much, hm?”

you pout, proceeding to lean your head onto his shoulder

“i’m really worried that i won’t be able to draw you like how i actually see you… i really really don’t want it to look weird and you look so pretty!”

ike was honestly taken aback by that last compliment and he could only chuckle at your cute protests

but other than that, ike is so terribly touched by how determined you were to reach this high of a goal or this invisible obligation to have to draw him in a certain way. out of all people, of course he’d understand how it is since he is himself a creator

he looks at you then places a long gentle kiss on your temple

“hey, listen to me, will you?” ike says, just above a whisper

“hm? sorry, i was rambling, wasn’t i?”

“oh, nothing like that, sweetheart,” ike lays down so now you’re laying down with him on the couch

he begins to comb through your hair again, pecking your forehead

“i understand the stress. this weight on your shoulders. i know what it feels like. to have to put out the best results for someone so we don’t disappoint them. but believe me, y/n when i say you are a very skilled and talented artist. how many times have i just stared at your art pieces and just fall in love with you more and more, huh?”

“shut up ike,” you giggle, causing the novelist to chuckle too

“nope, i won’t do that,” he said. “anyway, what i said is true. yes, i know there are days where you just can’t produce the best of your work but you know what? it’s still beautiful because of just how much effort you put into it! it’s the process that matters really. so, whatever you come up with in my portrait, i’ll love it regardless because you poured your heart into it.”

ike’s words entrance you and the earlier anxiety evaporates gradually

“i know you’re just nervous, so, i’m here to give you uh.. a little push! a little push to get to drawing!”

you chuckle, sitting up to look at him properly. you lean down and kiss his lips, after which you beam gratefully for his beautiful words

“thank you, ike,” you lay back down with him. “that really helped a lot.”

“it’s my pleasure, sweetheart.”

Shu Yamino 🔮✨

“it’s me, isn’t it?”

?????????

⊙▽⊙

ಠ_ಠ

“wh- how did you??”

y/n.exe has stopped working

“wait actually?” shu chuckles to himself. “so you’re drawing me?”

“y-yeah! well, i’m trying to…” you frown, looking down at your drawing utensils disappointed. there wasn’t even a single stroke there, you couldn’t even bring yourself to do it, can you?

“trying? are you on an art block?” shu asks

“not really… it’s more like, uh, um…” you look away again but shu leans over so he’s in your view again. when you still don’t want to look at him, shu grins at you and you can’t help but get infected by his contagious smile.

“okay, okay, it’s because i… really wanna nail this drawing of you, okay? i’m scared that i won’t be able to do you justice in this one, so i don’t wanna mess it up.”

shu hums

then suddenly, shu takes your drawing equipment and begins to… draw something?

you tilt your head towards shu, but he only grins and tells you to wait

“okay?” you lean over but you couldn’t exactly tell what he was really doing

after a while though, shu finally stops and hands your drawing medium back

you look at it and burst out laughing

“it’s cute isn’t it?” shu smiles

“is this me, shu??” you show him the simple doodle of yourself, in black lines and a some bright colors to emphasize your unique features

“obviously! pretty cool, huh?” shu begins to wiggle his eyebrows and you slap his shoulder while still laughing. “not so nervous, are we?“

you realize just what he’s done just like magic amirite and you smile, scratching the back of your head bashfully

that’s when shu suddenly pulls you into his lap and wraps his arms around your waist

he goes to peck your nose, laughing when he saw you blush

“oh, you cutie,” shu says through the laughs and then leaning forward to rest his forehead against yours. “hey there.”

“hey,” you giggle

“look, i know you’re worried about drawing me. but you’ve been through this, haven’t you?”

“yeah, i have. but i’m drawing you, shu. it’s a bit different…”

“i know but i also know that you’re gonna nail it anyway. why?”

“why?”

“i just know,” shu grins. “you’re so skilled at what you do, babe, there’s no reason to be so worried. and even if it doesn’t come out the way you want it to be, i’m still going to love it either way. it’s because you did it and no matter how you look at it, it’s gonna look so good to me.”

“that’s because you’re biased, shu!” you smile

“oh hush we don’t need to talk about that,” shu nuzzles into your neck. “jokes aside though. if it doesn’t look good, you can always try again! you don’t have to rush anything. take it slow and have fun with it. see, i can even help you!”

shu pulls away and crosses his arms, looking off to the side with a proud smile, “how do i look? this is a good pose, right?”

you snort at him and grabbed the drawing media, beginning to draw shu as he was

“okay, stay still, shu yamino!”

“got it!”

after a while, you finish your initial sketch and is ecstatic to see yourself starting

you flip the drawing media towards shu to show him

the moment he sees it, the sorcerer grabs it and grins widely

“see! you’re doing great! oh wow, this is actually like super good,” shu takes a minute to study your work in progress and when he’s silent, you get worried

shu looks up at you and smiles gently, “it looks really good, babe. it really does.”

you sigh of relief, “thanks, shu.”

he places the drawing media down and pulls you in for a hug, burying your head in the crevice of his neck and shoulder

“please don’t worry about it, babe,” shu whispers, patting your head. “i’m sure it’ll look so good. just take your time and relax, have fun with it. your model and reference is literally right here!”

you smile, “thanks shu. i will.”

after that, you immediately get to work with the hype of your initial sketch

and shu is more than happy to pose for you the entire time

“okay turn this way, shu. i need to get a better look at this part of your face…”

“like this?”

“mhm, now stay still.”

“you done yet?”

“nope.”

“babe, it’s been ten minutes and i haven’t moved an inch-“

you chuckle, “you said it yourself you’d help me out, shu!”

shu is about to protest but he grumbles, “you’re lucky you’re cute.”

“yeah i am, aren’t i?”

guys, should i post the fanarts in full? fun fact #2: i'm editing this while listening to vox's endurance asmr stream im dying rn

Masterlist!

[aquanova99]

Hi this is the anon who mentioned the Denali coven.

Yes this does include Carmen and Eleazar.

Yes relationship headcanons would be great.

Thanks and hope u are feeling ok.

Ooh this will be fun, I will exclude Garrett since I’ve done a few for him already 😊 sorry this took so long hun

Tanya:

Is so excited to finally have someone oh my god

Tries to be very agreeable

Thinks you’ll run if she isn’t because she is considered to be the leader of the coven

You have to teach her not everyone in her life will disappear

Takes a while for her to open up honestly, she worries her past is too much and she tries not to think about her mother or anything of that matter

You have to grab her face and tell her it’s okay and that you’ll be beside her no matter what and she begins choking back sobs

Still wants you to take the lead but her more dominant side comes out at night. You’ve had to buy another cabin when the family home was at risk of collapsing due to your activities

I would say this is the more normal relationship of the coven outside of sleeping together

Tanya is just happy to have her person she was beginning to think she was cursed

Kate:

The spiciest Denali member

She just takes no crap from anyone including her mate

In fact she almost refuses to believe she’s found someone who will stick around her forever

Her whole family is a stickler for the rules so don’t expect a Bella treatment like the Cullens if you’re human you’re getting turned immediately

She is kind of afraid of committing to you and is on edge for awhile so much so her power is kind of haywire to anyone near here until she realizes her feelings

She will offer the veggie diet to you but if you aren’t going in that direction she will probably hop off of the diet too she just did it for Tanya and Irina anyway

You two will probably go on an extended honeymoon/ backpacking trip for a couple years or however long it takes, just to completely get to know another and have fun around the world without the whole coven supervising you 

Starts a never ending prank war because she thinks it’s funny seeing you flustered

Irina:

Very clingy, in like the best way she’s just worried you’ll disappear like Kate but instead of shutting you out she will try and always know where you are

Out of the three sisters she will most likely stay on the veggie diet. She has grown to like the humans more 

She will like to take an extended amount of time to know you as well but she will want to come back sooner rather than later because shes a family girl

likes to talk about you to anyone who will listen, she just thinks youre absolutely amazing

I imagine in this universe someone else finds out about Rutabaga and the Denali will absolutely not help. At least Irina wont, she isnt going to risk her mate because the Cullens decided to break some rules. Again.

Especially since the its always the Cullens asking for help, she would rather stay and protect her own family

Likes to dress up and go out on nice dates with you, enjoys the human charade alot

Carmen:

ugh Carmen my beloved

She is definitely in charge of the relationship as well

She doesn’t try to she just has this charm, she gets her way especially with her accent you love

Very passionate in every way. Nothing is too much for her. Affection, gifts whatever you give she will double. Not in an ‘I have to outdo them’ way she just wants to

It’s a 50/50 you guys leave the Denalis, Carmen really likes the idea of a family. As a human I headcanon she was a mother and misses the opportunity taken from her. So she thrives in a family environment, at the same time you’re her family too and she debates maybe making your own coven elsewhere.

Enjoys the more peaceful vegetarian lifestyle but if she came across a particularly rude human she probably wouldn’t hesitate to have a cheat day

Most likely to want to do all of the couply things she can get, like the small matching bracelets or if you have long hair I could see her wanting to have the same hairstyle as often as she can

Eleazar:

Simp simp simp

Seriously he’s just a ‘yes dear whatever you want’ kind of guy

Not that he doesn’t care or he will just get you things to shut you up he just figured he’s lived long enough he more than perfect tay fine spoiling you

You deserve to be spoiled

Won’t let anyone talk negatively about you in his presence. Or in general. He’s the type who would seek someone who hurt your feelings a long time ago and rough them up a bit, poor sap probably doesn’t even remember the encounter

Very protective, would rather not get involved in any possible confrontation but this guy will follow you anywhere so in the end what you say goes

Not too much more to say, he’s a more subtle lover

Likes to whisper in a decibel only you can hear and say very….romantic things that would make any human blush. He likes to get you riled up and have you itching to go to a private room

[thecarnivorousmuffinmeta]

How about this: Jasper/Squishy stay as nomads. There's no Squishy with the Cullens to inhibit Alice's visions, so she still joins them. Canon could still occur, but someone else messes up in New Moon (Esme?), Edward packs up the family and leaves. Bella's devastated. Later on, Jasper/Squishy wander into Forks. Perhaps she meets them on one of her treks to the meadow? What goes down from then on?

Anon's referring to Squishy, a tentacle monster of love who sometimes is Jasper's significant other.

Alright, then, through a whole bunch of odd events Twilight canon mostly happens (looks like Esme tries to eat Bella at the birthday party, sorry Esme, I'm sure this was a shattering blow that you'll never recover from nearly eating your son's girlfriend) but regardless Bella runs into Jasper (presumably now vegetarian thanks to Squishy somehow helping him find the diet) and Squishy.

Bella Meets Squishy and Jasper

The short, boring answer, is that Jasper immediately murders Bella. Bella sees himself and Squishy, even under cloud cover, too much of a risk. He might pass as human, but Squishy is very clearly... something.

Jasper does not want the Volturi on his or Squishy's tale ergo Bella Swan must die right now.

But if you want me to be slightly more interesting then Squishy talks Jasper down: Jasper's a lover not a fighter!

Somehow, this works, probably because Squishy can promise Jasper that they can murder Bella later if Jasper doesn't like any of this. So, Jasper gives Bella Swan five seconds to live.

Bella asks that if Jasper's going to murder her anyway, could he turn her? Jasper then gets to spend the next hour listening to a story he never wanted or asked to hear about Bella Swan falling in love with some punk vampire named Edward Cullen who told her the secret then vamoosed after his Vampire Mom nearly ate her at a birthday party.

What the fuck is this, is Jasper's reaction.

Jasper really doesn't want to turn her. First, he will fail, guaranteed, second that means he'd be stuck with this girl for at least a year.

No.

"Have some humanity!" Squishy gurgles, look at this girl, she has so much to live for!

Bella points out she doesn't mind dying and she's doomed to die anyway because the universe hates her. Being eaten by a strange vampire would be coming full circle.

"Kill me, Jasper, kill me!" Bella cries and Jasper wonders if the gods are mocking him right now that a delicious human girl is flopping like a fish on his dinner plate asking him to eat her, because she tastes delicious.

Jasper really doesn't want to do this but he can't think of anyone who would turn her in his place and if he shows her off to anyone else then he still might get in trouble for not killing her immediately.

He's going to have one hell of a headache after this, and probably hate himself, but she is literally asking for it.

He does it.

In the boring future, he eats Bella then feels massive amounts of pain due to her agonizing death and has to be comforted by Squishy for weeks. Not worth it.

In the less boring future, Squishy tears Jasper off of Bella in time, Bella successfully turns. And the trio get out of dodge as they find themselves surrounded by angry, giant, wolves (THIS PLACE IS TERRIBLE, Jasper cries).

We'll say they get out alive for the sake of the ask.

Bella finds herself a nomad companion with Jasper and Squishy. While she's still hung up on Edward, this is a new, better, stage of her life.

Jasper hates her.

He hates her stupid control where she can just count to ten and walk away.

He hates her so much.

(Meanwhile, as Bella blinked out of Alice's vision upon meeting Squishy, Alice assumes Bella is dead and tells Rosalie, who calls Edward, who then goes to Volterra to kill himself.

As Alice goes to Forks and finds that Bella, indeed, is missing and presumed dead, there's no one to save Edward from himself and he's murdered by the Volturi after attempting to break their law in Saint Marcus' Square.

Esme never recovers as she is now inadvertently responsible for Edward's death.)

Bella probably imprints on Jasper like a baby duckling, due to his having saved her from humanity (and Victoria, who is likely now also in agony as Bella Swan is presumed eaten by a different vampire altogether and HER REVENGE IS RUINED) and doesn't realize that Jasper is sleeping with Squishy.

Jasper has to explain that, Bella tells him she's very supportive of his relationship.

Jasper still hates her so much.

Chaos Magnet

Corpse Husband x Reader (Female)

Warnings: None :)

Genre: FLUFF, HUMOR, RPF (Real Person Fic)

Summary: When Y/N get invited onto a stream with the gang by Jack (Sean) she’s not sure what to expect but it’s safe to say that such chaos is not something she could’ve ever imagined.

Requested by Anon. Hi hun! Thank you so much for your lovely request, it really had me laughing and still had me be awe-struck by the adorableness of the idea. Sorry it’s been such a long time since you put in the request but I still hope you come across the fic and read it! Love, Vy ❤

“Alright people, silence in the call for a moment!“ Jack calls out when the lobby’s counter has finally reached up to nine, leaving room for one more person who is yet to join, but apparently he doesn’t care much that he’ll probably have to repeat himself when the tenth person enters the call and lobby.

“Jack, you should know by now, the day there’s silence in this call is when some supernatural force murders all ten of our mics. It just won’t happen, deal with it.“ Charlie, who was having an ‘intense’ discussion with Toast up until Jack’s interruption, says sarcastically, chuckling ever so slightly, enough for it to be contagious and make me crack a smile as well.

“There won’t be silence, I’ll be talking. If only the rest of you would LET ME.“ Jack replies just as sarcastically, getting Charlie to let out an actual fit of laughter. When his chuckling subsides along with the rest of the chatter in the call, Jack finally gets to have the speech he mentioned, “Right, ok so here’s the deal folks: today we have a guest addition to the stream, curtesy of mine because I’m obsessed with her channel. As you might or might not have noticed, there’s one person missing from the lobby but she’s gonna be joining us any minute now. As I said, I’m a huge fan so you better not embarrass me or I swear I’m gonna kill you first when I get to be an impostor.”

I don’t know what the others are thinking - probably something similar as what I’m thinking though: Noted, embarrass Jack to the best of your ability. Trust me, getting him flustered in front of his YouTube idol is well worth the death in Among Us he’s threatening us with.

“Also keep in mind that she’s of a different kind, not of our breed if you will - she’s an ASMR YouTuber. Not those who eat in the mic just because they think it’d be pleasant for people to hear.“ Jack goes on to explain, the way he’s described this girl’s craft is quite intriguing, especially when you consider how confidently Jack expressed his distaste with ASMR in the past. He’s always claimed not to be a fan but here we are, I guess people really do change.

“Thank you for making it seem like I do more than just cut up soaps, Jack. I really appreciate it but don’t bump the bar up that high, people will be disappointed when they actually visit my channel.“ An unfamiliar voice appears in the call out of nowhere. Though, unfamiliar is not the adjective I should focus on when describing this girl’s voice. I’ll list a few more but even they won’t do it justice: pleasant, awing, mesmerizing, unbelievable, out-of-this-world...I really could keep going.

“Oh come on, Y/N, you don’t just cut up soap. You turn them into bath bombs too!“ Jack laughs, earning him a playful scoff from the newcomer. “Oh yeah, almost forgot - Everyone, this is Y/N, our ASMR artist.“

“Please, some ‘artist’ I am. The people in my comment section would disagree with that description.“ She giggles after kindly responding to each and every greeting the gang sends her way, myself included. “The word I’ve seen people use most when describing my channel is ‘cringey’ so....yeah.“ She laughs, a genuine laugh instead of the bitter one I was expecting to follow such words.

“That seems to be the cool kids’ favorite word, don’t dwell too much on it.“ Rae tells her reassuringly, “What’s important is what word would you use to describe your channel?“

Y/N hums, sounding as though she’s fallen in thought but that’s only one brief moment before she answers. Or begins to, at least, “Well, if I were to describe my channel with one word it’d be....BEEFY!”

That one out-of-context word, screamed out by such an angelic voice has me breaking down with overwhelming laughter collapsing all my ability to hold back.

“Out of all the words, you’d choose beefy?“ I somehow manage to ask between fits of laughter that render me breathless.

“She’s a vegetarian, I think, I don’t know why she’d choose that word.“ Jack too is laughing his butt off but has a significantly better grip on it, “Y/N, care to explain your peculiar choice?“

There’s a lot of shuffling and random noise on Y/N’s end before her reply finally comes, accompanied by a weak meow, “Sorry guys, that was a classic cat of Mr. Beef Stronganoff seeking attention by being chaotic.” She says through laughter, her words followed by another meow which was a lot more clear, seemingly closer to the mic, “He took down my mic, and he seems like he wants to do it again....BEEFY NO!”

For some reason, even with that explanation in mind, I can’t keep myself from laughing. Come to think of it, I think the explanation only makes it funnier.

“Ugh, darn it! I saved my mic but he ran across my keyboard and turned my webcam off how do I turn it back on?“ Her voice dies down for a few secs before it reemerges from her end, “Ok nevermind I got it. Now I can answer...what was the question again?“

Recovering from his laughing fit, Jack manages to repeat the question, “What word would you use to describe your channel?”

“Oh that! Right, ok. Um, I’d call it aesthetically pleasing and BEEFY NOT THE ROUTER CABLE YOU DUMMIE!“

She’s insane. Or her cat’s insane. I can’t tell. Maybe both. Either way, I can’t help but feel like I’ve found a soulmate in this literal stranger. It’s safe to say us chaos magnets like her and I, we don’t only attract chaos, but also chaotic individuals. I’m so glad she magnetized me to herself. Or was it the other way around? We may never know - mystery is in the nature of us chaos magnets, you know.

[kidflashimpulse]

Fully admit that I was never a BB fan to begin with but the annoyance is exemplified when Bart isn’t highlighted for having good leadership nor trauma. He can clearly take charge when needed while still listening to other’s opinions. And (not to sound like I’m comparing) has probably suffered so much more, has probably had to see so many loved ones die in his time. Restraining so much not to rant lol. Hope it’s fine to dump this : P!

omg!! My first anon!!! HELLO thank u for coming into my asks and sending in your rant I appreciate it and i’m always SUPER happy to hear peoples thoughts on things :D  <3 No worries on restraining urself, feel free to say whatever is on your mind :) 

warning: this is pretty much an essay oops

Honestly, I at first wrote an essay in response to this especially regarding the parallels between Garfield and Bart, because they're definitely there and super interesting to discuss. But I felt like I was gonna be dumping this ask with my own rambles and unasked for think piece and didn't want to stray too much off topic lol. 

Basically, I totally understand where you're coming from anon and the biased side of me entirely agrees! Its kinda ridiculous that we don't get to see these aspects of Bart being highlighted which essentially serve as a foil to Gars Phantoms arc. 

I think its also a complete waste of an opportunity (yes I understand there are time and work constraints on creating a show, but of course, I believe there is always a way especially with how YJA prides itself in balancing a multi-plot storyline), that the parallels in Gars and Barts characterisation weren't explored. Because otherwise, it leads to the type of frustrations that both you and I feel on this topic, because theres no on-screen resolution of it. 

Like you said, its not a comparing game. But we really can't help but do a side by side comparison when they have been two characters that have basically been linked since season 2. When Bart first appeared, BB was one of the first people he properly met and “fought” lol. They're also the closest in age among their generation of heroes. Then theres the whole Outsiders plot, with Bart obviously supporting Gars initiative and by the end of season 3 at the ending clip Bart was joking with BB. The two are clearly good friends, considering their history, and whilst BB was trying to work through his trauma its almost ridiculous that we didn't even get a mention of Barts input on his situation. 

But im kinda going off topic here. My point in relation to your post is, there is very much a basis for the parallels between the two to be drawn. So its not unreasonable to compare the twos history. Ive read people on the young justice discord also very reasonably compare the two and what they mentioned that I entirely agree with them on is that Garfield is clearly particularly sensitive to death.

Which is very hard for someone in a field of heroics and all that. Especially as a team leader. 

Bart is clearly on the opposite end of the spectrum, pretty much desensitised to death clearly cause of his original timeline. 

Now, I find BB being sensitive to death very on par with the shows rendition of his character. He started out as an innocent, open minded, animal loving kid. Hes vegetarian (possibly vegan I can't remember) and really easily warms up to new people in his life for the sake of found family. He is sensitive and empathetic that way, which I believe is a prerequisite for his powers too as he has no problems to easily take on any creatures form. 

I used to be a fan of him from Teen Titans (lol) and I read a lot of his comics when I was a kid, and honestly, a lot of iterations of his characters throughout all these series, both comics and cartoons (TT included) he is often annoying and a douche bag in one way or another (arguably a poor portrayal of him, or maybe it really is just him because its so common lol). So him not being a massive asshole, in fact being this some what naive and sensitive guy in young justice, is definitely a welcomed breath of fresh air. 

So when I try to be “unbiased” I recognise that with all the tragedy that BB has been through, its fair for him to act the way to he has throughout Phantoms. 

I think this “objective” fact, that different people react in different ways, could've easily been demonstrated by drawing explicit parallels this season between the two. Bart is known at this point in the show to have an incredibly traumatic childhood and I think involving him in this plot could've showcased more how subjective the experience of trauma responses can be and actually explicitly showcase that Gar is sensitive to death which I think would've helped the ppl both on Tumblr and the YJ reddit who were not particularly impressed with BBs phantoms arc, to be more sympathetic to him. Because I think having opposite sides of the spectrum, really sheds light on one another. 

However we are left with the two parallels not being connected this season, with the outsiders not so much as being shown a second of their reaction to Barts disappearance and him not being shown for a second in Gars Phantoms arc. Its annoying. And frustrating. But it is what it is. And just gives us more excuses to come up with whatever interpretations we want to fill in the blanks they gave us.  

Its cool that we got to see Barts independence, resilience and capabilities, especially considering his background this season (despite the way too many times hes been nerfed this season lol) and it would've been so many times more satisfying if we saw its context within the rest of the Outsiders. But who knows, if the show gets renewed or maybe even in the comics, we might get a glimpse of all these things. Anything is possible lol. 

So yeah, I kinda went off track and still wrote some kind of essay. Welp, my bad lol but I very much found ur ask super interesting and inspired all this lol and hope I addressed some of ur frustrations which I agree with.

p.s My personal headcannon based on what has been shown of Bart in the show, especially his desensitisations to death is that he really isn't as traumatised as people often express/expect him to be. Doesn't mean he has zero trauma, or doesn't have his issues, or his childhood didn't fck him up a bit, I feel like anyone growing up in some kind of post-apocalyptic wasteland will be messed up one way or another. But definitely not in the classic trauma response way which Gar was shown to go through this season. I feel like the resilience that Bart has shown throughout the seasons makes a lot of sense for someone who has survived what he has so that's why im not really on the same camp of the people who say that they would like to see what Gar has gone through, for Bart. Because ultimately, they are two different characters and these kind of journeys aren't copy and paste, nor is it realistic to be universally applied to everyone. Which is why I would have again, appreciated the parallels to be more explicitly linked and Barts story to be more highlighted this season. 

On a semi-unrelated note, I am literally writing a fic right now on Barts messed up worldview as a result of his growing up in his OG timeline (in a some what light-hearted) way. Because of all the lack of Outsiders this season I was inspired to try to write a one shot on some of their team dynamics and I think ppl naturally think Bart is weird (its both an original comics and in show constant which I appreciate) so I wanted to explore this weirdness a bit. So for anyone who is interested in this, I should be posting it some time this week! For zetaflash fans, theres some sprinkled in there too lol and for Blue and Bart besties 4 ever fans, there some of that in there too lol for those who don't care feel free to ignore lol

Again, apologies for basically writing the story of my life, but then this also shows, feel free to rant anytime for however long u want ! My asks are open!!! (and not broken, all this time I thought maybe I did something wrong so that's why I didn't get any so im so happy anon, thank u again for ur message! <3 :D)

[espressokiri]

Hi there. Another Muslimah here.

Hope you don't mind me sending you an ask. I read your fic about the BNHA boys with a muslim s/o. It was really good. I loved it so much. (There aren't many fics like this, which is a shame cause we like fanfics too. So this was very refreshing. Thank you.💚😉)

Could you do one for the Haikyuu boys, specifically Tsukishima, Kuroo, Sugawara, and Bokuto. But only if you want to, of course.

Hope you have a great and productive day.

Tsukishima Kei, Kuroo Tetsurou, Sugawara Koushi, and Bokuto Koutarou x Hijabi!reader

In which reader is a hijabi Muslim.

Warnings: None

Genre: Fluff

Notes: You're welcome to send asks anytime <3 I may be slow at getting through them but I will make sure to get them out! Thank you for being so sweet anon <3 I hope you enjoy this one! ^^ I’m sorry if it seems bland as I was slowly losing ideas.

Tsukishima Kei

His eyes would constantly drift to you during class hours, lips twitching into a smile as he would watch you struggle with the assignment sheet given during history class.

Would take that as a leeway to make conversation and help you out.

"Tsk, can't even do a simple history assignment?"

Just sits down next to you and points out what you did wrong while helping you out.

Flinches his hand away and mutters a sorry if your hands accidentally graze each others.

He knows how strict the dating rules were and he admired it, thinking it was a safe way to keep them away from harm and heartbreak.

Becomes your unofficial tutor just to spend more time with you.

Has the urge to flick your forehead most times when you purposely tease him.

Is worried when he sees you zoning out in the middle of class during Ramadan, you have to convince him you're fine and that you're getting your studying done despite the odd sleep schedule you've created.

He'll give you a small box of his favourite treat, strawberry short cake, randomly throughout Ramadan because he knows you crave more sweets during the days you fast than regular days.

He calls you a masochist when he finds you watching cooking/baking videos while fasting.

Will stop by your house to drop off pastries during Eid for you and your family because he wants to peak at you all dressed up as he's only seen you in your school uniform or in casual but modest fashion.

He feels a sense of security, enjoying the aspect of getting to know someone with no sense of rush.

Kuroo Tetsurou

He's such an awkward nerd please.

Wants to approach you but fears he might accidentally offend you due to his provocative nature, hence resorts to staring at you from across the room.

Would research more about your religion and would use that as a way to start small talk;

“Hey, uh, I was wondering how do you manage to pray Zuhr when you’re in school? Isn’t it bad that you have to miss it?”

“Oh uh, I usually run home as soon as I can or pray in my club room if there are meetings, my club members are very understanding.”

“Oh... I see.”

“That’s pretty cool of you to be concerned, Kuroo-san.”

Cue him asking you random but wholesome questions with genuine curiosity.

“Did you know men who oppress women are considered to not follow Islam? I find that really nice that women are equal to men in your religion!”

You smile at him and his interest in your religion.

Study sessions in the library because you both wanted to spend time with each other but he knows it is wrong for a male to be alone in the same room as the opposite gender so you both opted for the library where there are lots of people.

Gasps and immediately looks away when you unravel the scarf around your head to fix;

“Y/n! You can’t do that!!”

“I’m wearing an underscarf calm down.”

You rolled your eyes at the dramatic male but smiled at his respectful nature.

Ramadan? Catch him ruining his sleep schedule just to have movie nights with you through the phone and Netflix Party.

Kenma teases him about it because Kuroo used to yell at him about his own staying up late gaming obsession.

Likes it when you wear a cap on top of your hijab, he thinks it looks cool on you.

He’ll convince you to skip school during Eid if it falls on a school day, telling you that it’s important that you spend at least the first day of it with your family. 

Overall, he’s the type to keep up with the Islamic calendar and learn new facts daily as he asks you to explain each and everything about your religion and lifestyle.

Sugawara Koushi

See’s you for the first time with Kiyoko when he went to excuse her from class for managerial duties.

Smitten from first sight.

Begs Kiyoko to let you be her assistant manager.

He keeps a distance from you during your first introduction and conversation because he didn’t know what you were comfortable with.

He was in awe to find out there were sports hijab when he saw you sporting one to play a short game with an over-enthusiastic Hinata.

“Here, stay hydrated.”

Hands you a bottle of water along with a towel, a newfound respect for playing in hot weather conditions fully covered. 

Due to the chaotic nature of the first and second years, Sugawara would run to cover your eyes with his jacket or hover his hands in front of your face whenever Tanaka would rip off his shirt to swing around whenever he spiked.

Sugawara had to stop himself multiple times from clapping his hand onto your shoulder, resulting in him just smacking either Asahi or Daichi when they mention him almost touching you.

Outings between you two is always monitored by the third years, Asahi smiling proudly at his friend Suga while Daichi and Kiyoko would sneakily take candid pictures of you both.

“What’s one verse you hold dear to your heart?”

You look at him from the warm mug of drink you are holding, tilting your head as you look at him in confusion. Sugawara felt the tips of his ears go red at the cute expression you held, and explains his question.

“Ah,” you thought long and hard before giving him an answer, “ ‘Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear...’ I find that part of the verse very reassuring in times when I feel like I’m overwhelmed.”

Sugawara held onto every word, finding the beauty behind those words, he felt at peace. “I’ll keep that in mind.” He smiles.

It felt like he was more excited than you for Ramadan.

He would read out loud the Japanese translation of the Quran after you read out the Arabic words in a beautiful and soothing voice. He wanted to understand and learn.

He was hooked onto the peaceful energy the month brought despite life going on normally.

This man would wear a formal Kimono when your family invites his over for Eid, he wanted to make the best impression despite already meeting them in passing.

Suga had a sense of security and comfort around him and you felt lucky to have met someone such as him.

Bokuto Koutarou 

Oh God.

Akaashi had a field day trying to stop him from initiating any and every kind of physical affection when he first introduced you to him.

Bokuto is a man who expresses himself with affection, so he was lucky for Akaashi to explain to him why he shouldn’t initiate any physical affection without asking for what you considered crossing a boundary.

He knows he can’t drag you to the gym to watch him play volleyball by hand, so he asks you to hold onto the end of a pen, which you took, confused as to what the male exactly wants before realizing he was holding the other end and using that to drag you to where the gym was.

It was oddly endearing.

“Did you see my spike, Y/n?! Didya see?!”

“Yes, Bokuto. It was really cool!”

Cue a chest puffed up Bokuto who grinned with pride.

Invites you to eat lunch with him and Akaashi on the roof.

Having to refuse his food because you weren’t sure if there was pork in it or not.

This made Bokuto stop bringing in food that contained pork, not knowing even aside from that, he had to have the halal form of chicken or beef.

Akaashi had to explain everything to him when he asked him once.

Tried to go vegetarian one day, failed the minute he took a bite out of his food.

Feels bad when he eats on days you are fasting, so he tries finishing the meal before you come up to their usual meeting spot, resulting in him giving himself a stomach ache.

Brings you tuna filled onigiri to take home so you can eat it as a snack during the night after breaking your fast.

Sends you spam messages minutes before having to break your fast;

‘Are you excited to eat?!?!?!’

‘What are you having today?!?’

‘If you want to get any snacks later let me know! :D’

‘ONE MINUTE LEFT!!’

He’s so wholesome please.

Wants to skip school with you for Eid, but pouts when you tell him you’ll be spending it with family.

Asks you to send an OOTD pic so he could be your hype-man.

Bokuto is always willing to understand more about you and your religion, making sure to note things in his head for future references.

N Harmonia Fluff Alphabet

One anon asked for an N fluff alphabet and another asked for just any N content, so I hope this sates you both!

Not proof read so rip me

Enjoy!

A = Activities (what do they like to do with their s/o? how do they spend their free time?)

Rather expectantly, N loves looking after Pokemon with you! Whether you’re playing with, feeding or tending to them, he really enjoys seeing you being so sweet and kind to cute little mons and giant scary monsters alike.

He also loves just snuggling up with you and playing with each other’s’ hair. He really cherishes that kind of gentle, intimate affection.

Other than that, he really enjoys doing mundane things with you, stuff like going grocery shopping, cleaning the house, gardening etc, even before you live together. There’s something very comforting about it.

Oh, and he loves dancing with you!

B = Beauty (what do they admire about their s/o? what do they think is beautiful about them?)

He admires your kindness obviously, but also your determination and resilience! He thinks you’re so strong, and in turn, it emboldens him too!

As for physical beauty? He loves your smile, even just a little quirk of your lips makes him so happy. It’s just so precious!

C = Comfort (how do they help their s/o when they feel down? what makes them feel better?)

N isn’t the best at this kind of stuff, but he definitely tries his best to offer you support. Usually he just sits with you and lets you vent, or cry into his shoulder, often bringing a cute pokemon with him to cheer you up. He also likes bringing you on walks, hoping it might clear your head.

His words of affirmation, though few, are quite powerful, so you know he means them.

When he’s sad, he’d like to be treated in a similar fashion, just quiet support and cute Pokemon

D = Dreams (how do they picture their future with their s/o and in general?)

N doesn’t really know how he wants his life to go, the only thing he’s certain of is that he wants to continue improving the relationships between humans and Pokemon, and that he wants to be with you for the rest of time.

E = Equal (are they the dominant one in the relationship or are they rather passive?)

Due to his lack of experience, he’s definitely more on the passive side, preferring to let you take the lead when it comes to dates and stuff. Though he has no problem asserting himself (gently) if he wants to do something else instead.

F = Fight (how quick are they to forgive their s/o? what are they like in an argument? who says sorry first?)

N hates fighting with you, absolutely despises it, so he tends to avoid it when he can. Inevitably, like in all relationships, you end up in a few spats. He’s never mean to you, but he does try talk over you and has a habit of just walking out instead of working out the issue right away. Really he just goes for a walk to calm him down, and he’s usually back in an hour or two, but you probably don’t solve your disagreement until the next day.

He finds it quite easy to admit fault and apologise, so you don’t have to weasel a ‘sorry’ out of him. And due to his earnest nature, you know he means it.

G = Gifts (what kind of things do they gift to their s/o? are they spontaneous or do they stick to special events like anniversaries?)

When N gives a gift, most of the time, he doesn’t even realise it. He just sees something he thinks you’d like and just gives it to you without a second thought. Usually it’s pretty flora or candy, occasionally it’s a plush. Sometimes you get gifts very often, sometimes it’s weeks, maybe months, between each present.

H = Heart Eyes (what are they like in love? is it obvious to others? how do they express their love? do they brag about their s/o to others?)

N can be described as blissfully confused when in love. So soft and blushy and not totally sure what he’s feeling, but he sure does love it, and you. His Pokemon friends pick up on it immediately and root for the two of you.

Unintentionally brags. He just thinks you’re swell and tends to bring that up often, but he’s not trying to gloat.

I = Impression (what first attracted them to their s/o? how accurate was their first impression to how their s/o actually is?)

You seemed to handle that little joltik so carefully as you returned it to its mother galvantula, without an ounce of fear or malice in your eyes, and truly only kindness in your heart. It made him feel so at ease, like he had found a kindred spirit.

Not only was he right, he also found his soulmate too,

J = Jealousy (do they get jealous easily? how do they deal with it?)

N doesn’t quite understand jealousy. Like, you love each other, what does he have to worry about? He likes your friends a lot, and he finds anybody who tries to flirt with you more annoying than anything else

K = Kiss (are they a good kisser? what was their first kiss like? where do they kiss the most?)

At the beginning, N’s kisses are sweet but awkward, he’s so new to it, so he’s a bit afraid he might make a mistake. As your relationships progresses though, he becomes more comfortable and confident with it, and kisses reflect that, so soft and caring and full of meaning

I did a whole thing about N and kissing here

L = Little Things (what are the little things they love about their s/o? are they attentive?)

Really what doesn’t he love? It’s not that he puts you on a pedestal, he just genuinely finds you amazing and he loves you so much

M = Marriage (do they want to get married? how do they propose? what would the wedding be like?)

N doesn’t feel the need to marry you, as long as you’re in love, that’s what matters to him, a piece of paper doesn’t make it any more valid than it is in his eyes.

That being said, if you want to get married, he’s down for it, but don’t expect anything sappy or traditional. No proposal, no huge event, just the two of you exchanging heartfelt vows at the courthouse, with matching rings.

N = Nicknames (what do they call their s/o? what do they get called?)

He doesn’t really use nicknames, just the occasionally “Love” or “Dear”

On the flipside, he loves your nicknames for him. Some of his favourites are “Cutie”, “Sweetie”, “Greenie” and “Nat”

O = Open (do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? is it easy for them to share?)

While I wouldn’t say N is an open book, he doesn’t really hide things from you. He tells you how he feels without much fanfare, and you’re made aware of his past quite early on, even before you started dating.

P = Pancakes (are they a good cook? how often do they cook for their s/o? breakfast in bed or fancy dinner dates?)

N’s actually pretty good at cooking, and tends to cook pretty often, especially when you’re on the road together. His meals are simple and comforting, sometimes spicy, lots of soups and curries and rice.

Since he’s vegetarian, he prefers to cook for the two of you instead of going out, since most restaurants don’t have great options for him. That being said, if you find a place with a good menu, he’s totally down to take you there.

Q = Quirk (a random quality/ability that is beneficial to their relationship.)

N does not understand the concept of BS, so you don’t have to worry about playing weird mind games to find out what he really wants. As a result, your relationship is quite chill

R = Romance (how romantic are they? are they cliché or creative?)

Again, he’s not traditionally romantic, but he does care about you quite a lot and loves making you smile. And while it doesn’t say “I love you” very often, he means it, and that is a lot more valuable than any serenade or flower bouquet

S = Sleep (who falls asleep first? do they need their s/o close to them? do they have any bad habits?)

If you play with his hair, he’s out like a light. While he’s cuddles are lax and loose when he’s awake, he hugs you like a teddy when he’s fast asleep.

His sleep routine is shit though.

T = Thrill (do they need to spice up their relationship with new things or do they stick to a routine? how often do they do new things?)

N loves the cosiness of domestic mundanity, so it’s safe to say he likes to play it, well, safe. It gives him a sense of comfort and stability that he really appreciates.

U = Unity (did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? what traits do they share?)

Through being with you, N learns to be more attentive and emotional (in a healthy way), and to appreciate humans even more. He also feels more human too.

While you already loved Pokemon, he makes you see how truly amazing and special they are, and treat them even better than you did before.

V = Value (how important is their relationship to them? what is it worth compared to other things in their life?)

Your relationship is very important to him, but deep down, you know his love for Pokemon trumps his love for you. Though it never causes an issue with you

W = Wild Card (a random fluff headcanon.)

Likes to make matching flower crowns for the two of you and whatever Pokemon you’’re with at the time!

X = XOXO (do they like to kiss and cuddle? are they upfront about their relationship or rather shy when in public?)

N loves fluttery kisses and really tender hugs and cuddles, ones when you’re loosely tanged together and gently stroking each other’s skin.

He is not a PDA person at all, besides holding your hand and the occasional kiss. Some of it is shyness, but it’s mostly because he doesn’t feel the need to prove your relationship to anyone. He doesn’t use affection lightly.

Y = Yearning (how do they cope when they spend time away from their s/o? do they miss their s/o?)

He’s pretty okay on his own, since he’s quite used to it, but he does still miss you a lot. He finds comfort in things that remind you of him, a certain scent, a flower, a sound, even a Pokemon, it makes him feel like you’re with him

Z = Zoo (do they have pets? do they want some in the future?)

N doesn’t have any pets, mainly because he thinks Pokemon are friends. How many Poke-friends does he have? Too many for even him to count. My man radiates serious Disney Princess energy with the way Pokemon seem to flock to him.

That being said, he’s not against good people having Pokemon as pets, so if you have pokemon, you know he’ll be the best dad to them ever.

[amporella]

Style for that sweet looking ship post please!

I also got an ask with style from two anons, so tysm to all three of you <3 here it is!

Who was the one to propose:

Probably Stan, tbh. Stan wants to get married ASAP after they graduate high school (he just loves kyle sooo much he can't help it), but Kyle's like 'but I don't want to be 19 and married!' So he makes Stan promise that he won't propose until a) they're a little older and b) they've talked about it a little more. Of course this goes in one ear and right out the other, and Stan lasts like another year before he breaks and ends up proposing anyway. Kyle playfully holds this over his head for probably the rest of their lives (even though he's absolutely THRILLED when Stan does propose, the waterworks kick in big time), and they get married really shortly afterwards (Stan takes Kyle's last name or they hyphenate), love is real

Who stressed more over wedding planning:

Kyle. Marrying Stan is just such a monumental thing to him (like, he's marrying the guy that he's been bffs with since diapers?) that he doesn't know if any wedding can really live up to the actual concept. Stan reminds him that it's ok if the wedding isn't perfect and that their actual married life is the really important part, and Kyle manages to avoid becoming a bridezilla.

Who decorated the house:

Both of them; Kyle contributes more when it comes to actually picking out the stuff, but Stan probably picks out more of the colors/a few odds and ends that they might need.

Who does the cooking:

Stan's a way better cook than Kyle is, so he does most of the cooking - plus, he's a vegetarian, so it's just more practical for him to cook his own vegetarian recipes than have Kyle do it. He makes sure to drag Kyle in and help him, though he just ends up sitting on the counter and taste testing whatever Stan's cooking most of the time.

Who is more organized:

Kyle! He's super meticulous about that sort of thing.

Who suggested kids first:

Stan. He wants a huge family and Kyle manages to talk him down from five kids to two. They're both very protective dads (follow that egg <3)

Who’s the cuddler:

Stan is sooo clingy. He's like a giant puppy. Whenever Kyle gets sick Stan is bound to get sick a week after because he can't let go of him, even when Kyle has a temp of 101. Kyle thinks it's very sweet, even if it makes their lives during flu season way harder lmao.

Who’s the big spoon/little spoon:

Stan's the big spoon like 90% of the time. He's got them broad arms that Kyle really likes to be held by <3 beefy Stan rights.

What’s their favorite non-s/xual activity:

Literally anything that they can do with each other, tbh. They'd probably have a good time filing taxes if they were hanging out while doing it.

Who comes home dr/nk at 3am:

Stan :( He never entirely stops drinking, but it gets a lot better by the time they're in their late 20s/30s, and it gets to the point where if he drinks, it's most likely with Kyle at home.

Who kills the spiders:

Stan insists they put them in a cup and bring them outside (he'd be happy just leaving them, but Kyle doesn't want spiderwebs in the house). Kyle smashed a few when Stan wasn't there, but ended up feeling so guilty about it that he ends up bringing them outside too.

Who falls asleep first:

Depends on the night! Kyle probably has a more taxing job and is more likely to just collapse from exhaustion when he gets into bed, but there are days that Stan does the same thing.

A head canon:

Stan drinks out of the milk carton/any drink carton he can get his hands on. This drives Kyle absolutely nuts.

Do they have any “rituals”?

Board game night! Especially when they have kids. They devote a solid few hours every Friday to board games, and Stan mercilessly (yet very nicely) beats Kyle the majority of the time. Kyle spends a lot of excess time reading over manuals to try and beat him, but never really manages to do it consistently. Stan lets him win sometimes and pretends that he doesn't.

Who has the most patience?

Stan. Always Stan.

[avatar-of-procrastination]

all im thinking about is steven dating someone who isn't vegan and actually loves non-vegetarian food XD

could i please have some hc's of that?

also i think you're really really cool and im kinda fangirling rn(not in a weird way i promise)

I'm flattered, anon 🥺💛. Tysm for the ask! I hope this is what you had in mind. So sorry this is short ~

So Steven wouldnt mind that you loved non-vegetarian food, tbh.

After all, his own alters eat it so he doesn't really mind it

When you guys go out, he'd buy vegan food for himself and you'd buy whatever you'd like.

Sometimes you'd skip the non-veg dishes and instead eat the vegan dishes Steven orders because you feel bad that you're eating meat in front of him

He'd assure you that its completely okay with him and that everyone has a choice to eat what they please.

He'd be so happy that you take his feelings into consideration, wondering what it is that he did to derserve someone so loving like you.

[youssefguedira]

Hii Neon, so... im bored and thinking about *them* again (that's Joe and Nicky of course). So I've been wondering, what would their favourite dishes be? All I can come up with is that Joe would probably enjoy anything cooked by Nicky (he's got a sweet tooth, though), while Nicky loves a good vegetarian meal, like a vegetable lasagna maybe :D

hiiii anon! i have a personal headcanon (that i meant to write into one of my joe bingo fics at one point. which i still want to do but i have no idea when that will happen) that joe likes really specific food combinations that absolutely horrify nicky. he is the sort of person to put fries in milkshakes, etc. he's not picky at all. he just likes experimenting. nicky, on the other hand, generally isn't that picky (they've all been around too long to particularly care) but there are limits, yusuf, please do not put that on the pizza, i am begging you

(nile 100% agrees with joe. the two of them in the kitchen try to make the worst possible thing they can, with nicky as their (unfortunate) judge)

(nicky despairs of joe's habits on occasion BUT he will learn how to make a specific dish because joe had a craving / wanted to try it and he'll make up combinations because joe thought it would be interesting on a whim. because nicky may tease him about it but he loves him really. even if he sometimes insists on putting ketchup on his pasta specifically to bother him)

joe definitely has a sweet tooth i think! and weird / interesting flavours. he's the sort of person who will order slightly too much food because he wants to try everything / can't decide. he just thinks it's neat.

nicky, on the other hand, i think would prefer things like soup / stew, things that make you make you feel warm and that can feed a lot of people at once, because he's Nicky™.

[nemesis-is-my-middle-name]

volo's murder togepei is an immaculate take. they vibe. every time clan drama happens togepei can hear it and volo holds it close. sometimes volo looks at ruins and starts crying because so much has been lost and togi has to drag him out of it. they're each others emotional support apocalypse partner. heck, throw in a wild pokemon food web and you have a central thesis- why *should* thinking, feeling beings have to kill other living things to survive? thats messed up

[ anonymous: (murder togepei cont) i would like to clarify that the central thesis of this isn't a vegetarian thing but a "the inherit horror of living in a world where all of your food is sentient" thing. every pokemon has something like human level intelligence. budew are intelligent. wurmple are intelligent. togepei, the living empaths, are actual eggs. so many things eat those! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ]

ANON YOU ARE ON ANOTHER LEVEL HERE

i used the term "echo chamber" earlier to describe these two and i think that really is accurate. like. they're two miserable people making each other worse, until they can't think of any way out of this pit (that they, subjectively, think is the entire universe) other than completely destroying it.

cause like, yeah! volo, the guy with an encyclopedic knowledge and love of history and myths, and togi, who can feel the general conflict/harmony of the Entire Region, are both staring down this existential crisis of. you can never go back. nothing ever goes back, it just keeps changing forever, and all you've seen your whole life is it getting worse. and the one whose opinion you trust more than anyone else in the entire world, is right there with you, watching it too. but hey, you're in a world where gods are not only tangible but animal and can be bent to do your bidding, why NOT do something about it. why shouldn't it be you. if nobody else can see what you see, apparently

this is also why i love the thought of volo+togekiss being immortal together... it's like the level of removed they need to snap out of it. to go oh, maybe everyone isn't awful, cause now they can see the good parts of the world, the humans and pokemon who are Trying despite the fact that they're so, so small, and they finally GET why protagonist fought so hard to stop them even after they lost everything, even after volo explained his reasoning to them. they still thought there were things worth saving. there were parts of the world that they weren't willing to lose.

this is getting too existential for a discussion about Blonde Man And Egg lmao but. yeah. yeah yknow.

Cheer up, buttercup Secret Santa with the Adult Trio

Hello, anon! Thank you for this interesting request! I’m going to format this as a bullet point story post instead of a story because I cannot plan a story at the moment. If I think of one, I will re-tag you if you’d like you @ to be revealed. If I get the requests by the end of the month, I’ll open a new window in 2022! I hope you like this post.

Taking part in Secret Santa with the Adult Trio

On a snowy December night, The Adult Trio, who had somehow been roommates for 4 years, invited you and a few of your friends over for “Christmas Fun”. You clarified you were only going to take part in wine tasting, cheese and crackers, and exchanging gifts. For your friends…. they were looking for OTHER fun.

The interior design of their apartment was nice. The room had a mixture of gothic-styled curtains and wallpaper while still having a touch of Christmas cheer that welcomed everyone.

The three gentlemen had on ugly Christmas sweaters and even though they were UGLY, their sculpted bodies made it work flawlessly.

Each of them scooped up each of you and guided you all to the dining room.

Everyone screamed as they marveled at the delicious dishes before them. The men cooked everything in between from vegetarian to meat. They were not sure if you all had dietary concerns, so they made a variety of dishes.

They hoisted tender lamb on a plate. Chrollo bragged the most about how happy he was on the turnout of his lamb. The fat added much flavor besides the dressing put on the green beans he’d placed in the oven.

Cheese and crackers sat on a glossy red plate next to the mini hotdogs and dipping sauce.

Your friends were so concerned about getting their fill that they almost forgot about their company! Still, the guys let it go for a while. They could clearly see how happy you all were.

For 1 hour, they ate, drank, laughed at goofy things, and sang Christmas Songs. One of your friends suggested going caroling, but that idea was shot down immediately.

“I’m wildly hated around here,” Chrollo said, wide-eyed, smiling. I rather not ruin a special holiday for the children.”

Everyone was chatting amongst themselves. You were quietly sitting in the corner with your phone, scrolling through Twitter. You have hung around these men before, but the feeling is much different when others are involved.

Slowly becoming engrossed in your very political timeline, you felt a shadow being cast over your face and body. As you gazed up slowly, none other than that, the oldest Zoldyck son was staring down at you.

Each man expressed their appreciation for their friends in different ways, but Illumi expresses it in what others would call odd and unusual.

Instead of sitting by you, he lifted your chin to meet his deep black pupils.

“Why are you so quiet?” he asks monotonically.

“I don’t know. I’m just tired.”

He chuckles heartily for the first time. “How? You act as if we are strangers.”

“I know but….”

You pause for a moment and look at your friends. Both of them were using whip cream to make beards on Hisoka and Chrollo. They giggled and squealed so loud, while the guys chuckled. They put more cream on their noses and placed a cherry on it to represent Santa’s “cherry red nose”.

Illumi returned his gaze to you and noticed how your mood differed significantly from theirs. They were thrilled, as were you, just differently? Then again, they were a little tipsy, so their exaggerated laughter became annoying.

“Are you annoyed that you aren’t the center of attention like how you used to be?”

You scrunch your face in irritation! How dare he insinuate such a stupid assumption! You stood to your feet, hands balled, and arms straight.

“Absolutely not! How dare you!”

“Are you sure?” he says in a non-convinced tone. He wagged his finger and click his teeth. “God doesn’t like ugly!”

“What do you mean? I’m not jealous!”

“Really? Are you sure? It looks like you're going to blow your gasket if you don’t get the chance to put whipped cream beards on Hisoka.”

“Oh, I hate you,” you whisper under your breath.

Before you could sit down, Illumi wrapped his long arms around your body and hugged you tight. As emotionally unavailable as he seemed and was the majority of the time, Christmas softens his heart. Unless he has to go on an assassin mission.

Truth be told, you loved your friends, but sometimes it is disheartening to be referred to as the “ugly duckling” of the group. Although your friends have always tried to cheer you up, you were convinced you died alone.

For a thin man, the warmth radiating from his body took effect on your body warmth!

The silk feeling of his raven hair ticked your forehead and cheek, causing you to smile.

“Stop feeling sorry for yourself. If it makes you feel any better, I’ll spend eternity just gazing into your eyes. Killua thinks you're a catch and if my younger brother thinks so, you must be the real deal.”

His lips grazed over your forehead gently. It wasn’t a kiss, but more of a soft peck to know that he cares. He doesn’t like PDA.

For another hour, all of you enjoy the last round of wine and prepare for the biggest event of the night.

At 11PM that night, they snuggled each one of you. Secret Santa was more entertaining than you expected!

Hisoka was too drunk to put his words together. All he could say was “m-merry chris---” and fell asleep.

Hisoka bought your first friend two popular and expensive perfume collections. One was Flower Bomb, and the other was a version of Dior.

Chrollo brought in his gift wrapped in golden wrapping paper. Wow. Such a show-off. Your second friend nearly jumped through the roof when they saw their gift. It was a brand new Canon T7i camera with two interchangeable lenses. They wanted to be a Youtuber but never had the right equipment until now. They kissed him full on the lips and both of his cheeks were full of red lipstick.

When it was your turn, Illumi slowly stood up and walked towards the front door. He drug in a large Amazon box with a Microsoft logo on it.

As he opened the box, he struggled to hold it in his hand.

“Merry Christmas,” he said and sat down.

As you opened the box, your face nearly fell to the ground. No words could describe how you felt. Instead of a luxurious computer being in this box, it was full of coal!

“What kind of sick joke is this?! How could you, you bastar---”

“Ah, ah ah,” he said, wagging his finger in my face again. I’d watch it if I were you.”

“Oh, yeah? And why so?”

“Turn around and you’ll see.”

You do so and when you saw the gem, the ULTIMATE gem, stood before you, you nearly fainted!

Sitting on his desk in the living room was the most updated version of Alienware. They made this CPU for gaming and provided 4K resolution for just about anything!

This is how you reacted.

Turning it on and seeing its LED lights made you feel wonderful!

Before Illumi could explain its functions, you ran towards him, jumped, and knocked him down flat on his back. You were now on top of him. His eyes were wide, mouth opened so wide bats could fly in. Before you could figure out why he was surprised, you felt something warm sticking your stomach.

Yes, that’s right. Your excitement rubbed off on him! As you jump off him, you plop yourself back on the couch, whistling like nothing ever happened.

“I hope you’re happy,” he says, shielding his eyes.

Chrollo is chuckling away while Hisoka is snoring away.

Just as you all were apart, the national guard informed you all that you may not leave the house until tomorrow afternoon. When questioned, they said the road was too dangerous, full of ice, and too many accidents have occurred.

And so, each of you went your separate ways in the Christmas gothic house, leaving your gifts downstairs.

[addictedtostorytelling]

What habits do you think Grissom and Sara picked up from each other after being together for so long?

hi, anon!

sara has become an avid (and opinionated) baseball fan.

except for a few ballpark hotdogs a year, grissom has become a vegetarian.

sara uses the "pehpeh" sign from asl all the time.

also, while not technically something that belongs on this list, they'll switch into asl in public when they're in predominantly hearing spaces and they want to have private conversations.

once sara moved in with him and hank, grissom learned to talk to animals like they were people (aside from just to issue commands or reassurances). now, many years later, sara frequently catches him carrying on philosophical conversations with dogs, cats, birds, marine mammals, spiders, and, of course, bees.

sara's blasphemies of choice have gotten decidedly more catholic over the years since she and grissom got together ("jesus, mary, and joseph!"), which is actually something that grissom originally picked up from his dad.

while not necessarily a habit he picked up from sara, sara did finally convince grissom that he doesn't always need to tuck in his shirts.

sara is perhaps more familiar with movies and music from grissom's generation (or even his parents' generation) than she is the stuff from her own; she's way more likely to reference catherine deneuve or omar sharif than she is the brat pack at this point in her life. she confuses the hell out of people because she’s a gen-xer whose cultural points of reference are all from the 50s and 60s.

grissom has decided he really likes taking baths, even though before he was always a shower guy. he especially likes taking baths with sara.

they have both accumulated a ton of knowledge about each other's areas of expertise and special interests: grissom could probably successfully moonlight as a physicist and can rattle off about a million animal facts, while sara is functionally a forensic entomologist and is more up on chess, cowboy culture/roy rogers, and opera than any one person has a reason to be.

also, they dress alike—which is honestly something they've been doing since even before they got together but which is now sometimes even more comically obvious than it was before. they don't even plan it. like. grissom will wake up, get dressed, and walk out onto the deck of the ishmael, and there sara will be, sitting, drinking her morning coffee, wearing the same color outfit as he is. it's ridiculous.

they also mirror each other's expressions and turns of phrase all the time. their friends tease them about it. it's only gotten worse over the years (and especially since they've been living in isolation of their boat)—until by now it's just a constant feedback loop of quirked eyebrows and smirky little smiles and flirting in the form of trivial pursuit questions between them.

thanks for the question! please feel welcome to send another any time.

[acti-veg]

Hi acti! I'm sure you've written about this before, but I couldn't find anything when searching your blog. I was wondering what you think about buying vegan products (meat replacements) from companies that actually or orginially sell meat products. For example, there is this big German company who sell sausages, cold cuts etc. and who have significantly broadened their vegetarian & vegan range in recent years. Their stuff is really good too, but I sometimes feel bad about supporting a company like that even though I guess they are realizing that the demand for vegan products is there, which is good?

Hey anon. I think this one really comes down to personal ethics and the position you’re in in terms of food availability.

The first thing to acknowledge is that almost all vegans are already buying from meat products, either directly or indirectly. Any vegan food you buy from any large supermarket who offers their own range of meat is giving money to a meat producer, or at the very least to a company that profits from meat production. Even many of the big vegan companies are either owned by animal agriculture interests or they own significant shares. The unfortunate reality is that there is really no escaping from that unless you’re only buying local produce.

Another important facet of this to recognise is that we really need producers to get on board, both farmers and sellers. Failing some sort of revolution, we are going to need farmers to switch to plant-based production, and suppliers to move into the vegan market once demand is recognised. These corporations will never be our allies, but showing them that there is demand and that they don’t have to exploit animals to meet public demand for food is a good thing, as is the increased accessibility they can bring.

However, it’s up to you where you draw your lines. There are many companies I boycott regardless of their vegan offerings, brands, restaurant groups etc. That could because of animal issues or human rights issues, but anyone else failing to boycott any of these companies doesn’t make them any less vegan than I am, and we are no less vegan than a purist who refuses to buy anything from any company who also produces non-vegan items.

Remember, veganism is not a normative system of ethics, it won’t prescribe what we should do in every situation that has anything to do with animal rights. There is still plenty of room for interpretation and using our own reason to determine the most ethical and practical course of action.

[girls--complex]

I dunno if you'll care, but a subject of endless fascination for me/something that looks aligned to your interests is the following:

Arguably, the first trans woman writer writing an explicitly trans novel was Irene Clyde/Thomas Baty

Her 1909 book "Beatrice the sixteenth" is, in so many words, a transfem sexless utopia where trans girls have slaves and buy them as well as new citizens from neighbouring countries

They're all vegan and they fight with spears and blowdarts

They're capitalists

They have a monarchy and the trans girl queen has a sword

Thomas Baty, the author, was one of the main scholars of international law and an Oxford graduate

She was also a British tory and radical feminist/pacifist/vegetarian

She accepted a job as international legal advisor to the imperial Japanese government

Where she justified the hell out of war crimes, the invasion of Manchuria and China, pillaging, the rape of nankin and whatnot

Whilst she wrote Christian essays on transness (Eve's sour apples (1934))

At like, the same time

She crossdressed in public around a lot of foreign dignitaries in Japan whilst contributing to the radical feminist lesbian zine her college friends still published in the U.K

She didn't get prosecuted for treason because she was too old by the end of the war (77)

She died alone in Japan in the mid-50's

She's mainly remembered for her legal work and the self-pitying biography she wrote in her mid-80's where she 1) desperately denies being a collaborator and says "someone else in the same job would have done the same thing" 2) talks about the grief of losing her sister and mother, who both followed her to Japan 3) talks about experimenting with Japanese gendered pronouns 4) begs queen Elizabeth to allow her to return to the U.K

She died a virgin

In conclusion: the intersection of the military, capitalism, imperialism, weird christianity, dogshit moral ambiguity, fucked-up relationship with sexuality and hypocritical radical politics in all good trans girl media is probably a leftover gene from that bitch

Hope you enjoyed

WHOAH... what a biography... never heard of this person but she sounds fascinating. Goes to show the twisted potential of the androgyne intellect I guess. Thank you for sharing anon truly I will be googling about this

Bad Boys of the Greek Cuisine

Everyone’s taste is different but the Greek Cuisine is generally acknowledged as a very tasty cuisine with both European and Middle Eastern influences. Not only that but it is considered one of the healthiest diets in the world with one of its branches, the Cretan diet, taking the first place the last time I checked. The secret of this cuisine’s success lies on the use of top quality and very fresh products and not so much on the use of many or unusual ingredients. However, that’s not to say that the Greek cuisine does not come with its fair share of extreme dishes. Here are some of them: Πατσάς - Patsás Patsas is a tripe soup / stew aka a stew made of stomach. It looks innocent and it is usually eaten as a comfort food but the cooking process smells like the name sounds... In Greece, there are shops called Patsatzídika that stay open until way past midnight and offer exclusively this dish and they are preferred after a lot of alcohol consumption. I had to remove the picture because I had eleven in this post and Tumblr sucks. I removed Patsas because it is the most normal looking one. Χοχλιοί μπουμπουριστοί - Hochlií buburistí Probably the Greek dish with the hardest name, at least for me. It is a traditional dish of Crete island but you can enjoy it all around Greece, provided that you are eager to eat... snails.

Κοκορέτσι - Kokoretsi Kokoretsi is a roasted dish made of animal intestines, livers and lungs served in slices. While this name does not originate from the Greek language, the dish was already loved by the Byzantine Greeks who called it “Chordae” meaning cords. The dish is hard to be prepared as it is necessary that the intestines are very carefully cleaned with tools such as pencils and knitting needles. In Greece it is often served at Easter.

Σπληνάντερο - Splinándero It is what its name means: Spleen and Large Bowel. Plus heart. From old sheep and goats. Also served at Easter because apparently Greeks go feral during Easter.

Μαγειρίτσα - Mayiritsa Another Easter classic, served during the Holy Saturday, Mayiritsa is a liver and heart soup. It’s certainly not for the faint of... nose such as me who I had to leave the house as my mum was cooking it. This is why recently a new type of Mayiritsa is trending, which replaces the organs with mushrooms and it is ideal for vegetarians and people with a sensitive nose. Nevertheless, most people love traditional Mayiritsa. Once I found an ice cream shop in Thessaloniki serving a mayiritsa flavour. What the heck.

By they way we have like another gazillion intestine dishes for some unknown reason but I will skip them to make this post more varied. Αχινοί - Raw Urchins This is a delicacy to several sea cuisines around the world. Greece is one of them. Recipe: go to a beach with clear waters, look for an urchin, hold it carefully, cut the living urchin in half with a knife and pour fresh lemon juice on it. That's it, that's the recipe.

Χταπόδι - Octopus This is by no means an extreme food in Greece but I include it here because I was surprised to find out it is nowhere as common in most countries and people often have a strong reaction to it. Well, in Greece we only have a reaction of fierce love for it. Octopus is used in several Greek dishes but the most iconic is probably grilled octopus marinated in vinegar often served with Greek sauerkraut salad. Seafood restaurants often hang fresh fished octopuses outside their shops and let them dry in the sun. It is a classic image of Greece and a sign the restaurant offers very fresh products. It was literally grabbed from the sea and flung to your face, top that level of freshness if you can.

Σπινιάλο - Spinialo Spinialo is a traditional seafood dish originating from the island of Kalymnos. The dish consists of fouskes, sea squirts that are marinated in a bottle of seawater. These primitive marine vertebrates usually attach themselves to shells and rocks, and when cut in half, fouskes reveal a soft flesh with a strong and bitter flavor and a texture that's similar to scrambled eggs.

Αρνί στη σούβλα - Skewered lamb If you are in anyway familiar with Greece, you probably know what the main event of our Easter feasts is. Roasting a whole skewered lamb. I imagine people freaking out at that. But, hey, it's a huge part of our tradition. And don't mind me saying, it bloody tastes insane. It's funny that in 27 years of life, now that I'm typing this in English, it is the first time it occurs to me that some people could potentially find this weird.

Πεσκανδρίτσα - Angler fish This hideous fish is eaten in two ways. Its...uhm... head is a common ingredient of Greek fish soups. I am personally not that much into soups or fish but let me tell you and sign this as well: this unassuming fellow has the most delicious tail. Its tail is called Μπρασκοουρά (Braskourá) and is heaven when fried. Don't look at it, just read my words and trust them.

Κεφαλάκι σούπα - Head soup The name sounds too generic but at least it is only about (poor) goats and sheep. This dish is getting a little too extreme for young Greeks but in my parents' generation, parents would chase the children to eat the eyes because that supposedly made you clever. The tongue was enjoyed too. Anyway, I'll spare you of a graphic image.

I am loth to end this fantastic post but the new BETA mode I am on forbids more than 10 pictures (that’s the actual reason I did not add a head soup picture and not that I am kind-hearted) so I'm gonna end this with the weirdest type of meat we eat. Like I said above, some things here might look a bit much, but when it comes to the types of meat Greeks eat, we really don't like taking the uncommon path. Greek cuisine is more mellow than extreme. Ironically, Greeks eat meats well done or medium at most because they are squeamish at the idea of eating bloody or remotely raw meat. So they eat a load of bowels and heads that stare at your soul but at least they are cooked for, like, 6 hours, you know, to ensure they are absolutely dead. Greeks typically devour eat farm animals, poultry, boars and a few commonly hunted birds, almost all fish and seafood. They also eat rabbits and hares (would that be considered uncommon? IDK) but that's where it ends. For instance, deer can be found in Greek supermarkets but nobody wants to eat such a gorgeous being and if you eat horse intentionally, you might as well get kicked out of the country (exaggeration but still). So, farm mammals, a few birds, fish and seafood. And snails. That's all. Oh! And- Βατραχοπόδαρα - Frog legs Frog legs is a traditional delicacy of the mountainous lakeside city of Ioannina. It is the only region of Greece where frogs are eaten. It is a tasty looking dish and those who have tried it say it actually tastes a lot like chicken. Actually sign me up for this. I mean, look at that. Why the hell not?

Now I wonder how many people decided to all of a sudden not travel to Greece and how many decided to come just now. And I wonder what that nice Anon who complimented my delicious food posts thinks now. But remember, Greek cuisine might have some bad boys but it also has many good good gooooood ones.
