Guys i know Christmas is overrated on every possible level but if at the end of december i don't see at least ONE submas reunion fanfic featuring Emmet (and possibly other characters if they're staying over) finding Ingo passed the fuck out under the damn tree during Christmas morning with maybe a little note of apology from Arceus taped to his receding hairline ass forehead i will riot

Or! He could be found under the communal (is that the right word) Nimbasa city/Gear Station tree. That would also make for some fun shenanigans i think. Imagine being a depot agent and getting a call for something weird at the christmas tree and you get there and fucking boss Ingo is just sleeping under there with a little bow on his hat

(it doesn't have to be Christmas btw. If you want to put a different holiday or celebration or tradition that's also cool christmas is just the one i celebrate so the first that came to mind. Also its the funniest to me but what do i know about other religions? Absolutely nothing so if you've got a funnier alternative go for it. It could also be and invented religion from the Pokémon world. Hmm)

Edit: by the way the same thing is happening on Akari's side. I just didn't mention it cause i was in submas brain mode and did not think about it

i need to move back to the midwest i can't fucking live like this what is WRONG with the east coast T__T

Salsa - A Better Partner - Strictly NRC Dancing

Author's Notes: This fic took so much research. Salsa turns out to have two main forms. Professional Salsa and Street Salsa. I recommend you watch videos of both but I don't actually have any specifics to recommend for you. I sort of explain the different in the fic, so you really don't have to worry about it. I just thought the differences were interesting. I listened to "La Bamba" by Ricky Martin while writing this fic. Just like the rest of this AU/series the reader is female for this fic. I hope you enjoy!

Ruggie had, in fact, learned to salsa quite some time ago. But what the teachers didn’t know wouldn’t hurt them and, to be fair, he’d never learned the style that was done in performances. Choreography was a new challenge, as were lifts and other such tricks used by professionals to make the performance more exciting for viewers.

But street salsa, now that was Ruggie’s style. 

Either way though, he played it safe. Fumbling a few steps throughout lessons so that none of the instructors would be any the wiser. He could manage a few lifts so long as his partner wasn’t anyone too big. Someone the size of Riddle. He could handle that easily.

And then lady luck smiled on him and he drew none other than you as his partner. The lone female dancer who Crewel and Vargas had no doubt pushed for the very best form from.

What he hadn’t been prepared for was for you to catch on to him quite so quickly during choreography. You’d smiled at him, mid-turn, completely relaxed and at ease as you kept up with him and leaned forward slightly, “So, how long have you been dancing salsa?”

It had taken all of his willpower and control not to react to your far-too amused words, “What makes you think I already knew how to dance?”

He flashed a grin at you, spinning you quickly and hoping he could throw you off, but that proved impossible when you met his gaze with sparkling eyes, “You’re like Leona was. Too confident for someone who has just learned this dance. Take myself for example, I still hesitate during certain parts even though I had two instructors dedicating their time only to me. You didn’t get one-on-one lessons and yet you’ve only hesitated when doing the few lifts that happen during our dance.”

“What if I’m just that talented?”  Ruggie couldn’t keep the grin off his face now. He was dancing, something he enjoyed. And, even though he’d been caught, he really didn’t think you were going to out him to Sam who stood off to the side frowning as he watched the two of you practice. 

After all, you’d kept up your shared little trick that you two were totally a couple and thus could definitely get the couple deals occasionally offered at Monstro Lounge and Sam’s shop. 

You were his partner in crime and partners didn’t out each other for no good reason. And judging from the grin on your face he was right, “Let’s just say it’s a hunch.”

He let out a snicker as he pushed you away from him to spin separately before rejoining you, “Just another secret for the two of us to share then. Right, Pumpkin?” 

He couldn’t keep the teasing grin of his face as he used your fake nickname before letting out his signature giggle yet again.

You rolled your eyes, but you were still smiling, “So I’m guessing we’re still keeping the couple gig up for the class too?”

He glanced Sam’s way pointedly and then back at you, “Well, of course. We’re NRC’s most successful couple after all. And you can’t deny you like the sales.” 

He winked, reveling in the way the shopkeeper rolled his eyes. But then Sam hadn’t entirely bought your act the whole time. It’s just that he also couldn’t disprove it and was thus forced to let the two of you walk out with whatever sale item he’d offered.

“I never said I didn’t,” You grinned back, spinning again before shifting back into hold, racing quickly towards the end of your choreography practice and coming ever closer to the hour of your shared performance.

“So what do you think, will I pass?” You remained silent as he braced himself, lagging only for a moment as he used the momentum of the dance to swing you into the air as he spun and then sat you back down.

“Well, you’re smooth enough…. I think you should manage,” You leaned against him, breathing slightly heavier than usual. One of the few signs that you weren’t quite as used to the salsa’s constant energy as he was.

But, he still couldn’t ask for a better partner in crime or in dance.

whats the jar hack???

OH I FORGOT TO ANSWER THIS ok so I assume you're asking about my tags in this post:

#learnt a hack about opening a salsa jar this way #one that my friend thought of himself and id never seen it online #the method works #both the asking AND opening the salsa jars

so whenever I have kitchen troubles I drop a message to @zeekubeast (e.g. when I made my bolognese too salty, or that one time I got a knife stuck in a pumpkin) and on this day I was struggling with salsa. his suggestion:

mim: chef do u have any tips for opening salsa jars ziek: find a can or bottle opener that has the leveraging option and break the vacuum seal on the lid with that anything that allows you to hook on to the edge of the lid and apply leveraging force will work. once you hear a pop, it should be easy to open by hand

so I used this part of my can opener, which I honestly hadn't even noticed was there before this moment, and...

BOOM PRESTO it worked! my beaten and scratched up salsa lid released the seal and unscrewed, easy peasy.

and now, those wisdoms are paid forward. CHEERS!

Been listening to salsa classics all day and fuck does Marc Anthony go OFF with the lyrics!

Y luego en el silencio le darás tu cuerpo

Detendrás el tiempo sobre la almohada

Pasarán mil horas en tu mirada

Solo existirá la vida amándote

Like… sir! If I cry, I cry!

hi will!

I'm here for the ask game!!

🌟🌌

(for whichever selfship(s) you wanna answer them!)

who's the tease in the relationship ?

oh, for me and bakugou, definitely me LOL though i mostly do it because it catches him off guard and i love to see it akfbdial and it makes me laugh when his face gets red and he rolls his eyes at me 😌

what was your first date like ?

OH FUN. HMM. i think our first date is not intentional alfndjslal or at least — not in the sense that it's planned. we meet because of his job at the agency and one day we're leaving at the same time and i've been mentioning this place down the street that serves pretty decent carnitas tacos, that has good salsa, and we're both outside on the sidewalk, about to part ways, and then he says,

"well," with his hands in the pocket of his hoodie, cheeks turning rosy under the dim street lamp, "y'gonna show me this place or what ??"

and i'm literally SO OBLIVIOUS that i don't even pick up that this is a thing, at all. i'm just thinking to myself, "oh, how fun that he wants to hang out :)" AKGBGHWKA no clue AT ALL. which is good, because then i make less of an idiot of myself during dinner since i'm not worried about making an idiot of myself LOL he likes the salsa because it's spicy and what we don't eat with the chips, he puts on all of his food, and i don't realize that maybe, JUST MAYBE this is something more than it is until he asks for a sip of my margarita akfjdkaka

because what makes it so 🥴🥴🥴 is that he doesn't pick up the glass after i slide it to the middle of the table, he just leans down and drinks from my same straw and looks up at my from under his lashes and HE'S SO CUTE AKFBSJSHAKAL and then i probably do something stupid like knock my water over or something because i'm a CHRONIC SPILLER and now i'm really nervous LOL
