The Arcana Headcanons

M6 and Foods

(If I take a while to do these, it’s because work is kicking my ass 🥲)

Asra:

Asra is a flavor fiend. He does not like bland cooking. There are bottles and bottles of seasonings fighting for space on your shelves.

Asra loves perusing the market for new spices. Each time a ship pulls into harbor, you’re sure to find him at the market the following morning searching for new additions to his collection.

To Asra, this is a way for him to connect to the places he’s traveled to. He misses the places and people he’s met. Sometimes a simple meal with aromas to bring back memories is enough to satiate his longing for them again.

As for favorites, Asra likes spicy foods. He prefers spices found in Middle Eastern cooking, but a close second are those in used in Asian dishes. His favorite dish is an oxtail stew. It has a broth similar to pho, served with cucumbers, herbs, and sliced chili peppers to highlight flavors in the broth. Inside, there are oxtail, grains, and a vegetable that resembles bitter melon.

Asra is also a fan of pastries. He will hunt down Selasi’s baklava and fruit tarts. He very much enjoys the taste of marzipan, but isn’t too crazy about chocolate, except for when you make chocolate pie. You’ve perfected a recipe that uses a darker chocolate mouse with an almond crust. On top, you’ll heap a pile of fresh whipped cream, candied orange peels, and pomegranate seeds.

Nadia:

Nadia was raised in a land and family full of color and zest, but ironically… our Countess is not particular to bolder flavors.

Nadia likes dishes done simple but well. She most certainly doesn’t like bland food, but she just prefers things with less complexity.

Her favorite dish is like an ochazuke. It uses a Prakran fish that has a very clean, light taste. With the fish, there’s bitter greens and rice, and an earthy tea is poured over it to make a soup.

Sometimes, Nadia makes a sweeter version of this dish that contains apples, pomegranate, and milk jelly with the tea.

Julian:

Julian has traveled the world and experienced all types of cuisine. He’s always game to try something new and is not at all a picky eater. But admittedly, when it comes to his favorites, his tastes are simple. He enjoys dishes that bring back fond memories of his childhood.

Julian is a broth baby. 💕 Growing up, soup and stews we’re inexpensive and easy to make and especially good for Nevivon’s colder climate. As an adult, he still enjoys anything with a good broth.

His favorite is a beef stew with potatoes and snow peas. He enjoys it with bread or crackers and sometimes puts a dollop of yogurt on top.

One thing Julian does not like is sweets. For desserts, he’s leans towards fresh fruit. If he eats a pastry, it tends to be more of a tea cake type dessert. His does enjoy a pistachio biscotti paired with black coffee.

Portia:

Portia was the type of child that needed supervision at the dinner table. She was a picky eater, who preferred sweets over meals. She was notorious for hiding her dinner to get away with an early dessert.

As an adult, she’s much less picky and no longer requires the supervision (sometimes…). However, she still has her sweet tooth.

Her favorite is chocolate croissants. They pair well with any drink, hot or cold, but she mostly enjoys them with cocoa.

Like her brother, Portia is also very fond of stews. As an adult, she finds the meal so versatile and fun to make. She likes finding new combinations of flavors and new ingredients to add to the pot. Plus, it’s a great way to use up aging produce from her garden.

Muriel:

Muriel loves earthy flavors and flavors that are considered harsher to the pallet. Also, for a man his size, he surprisingly stays away from meat.

Killing an animal is too heartbreaking for him. It reminds him of his days in the coliseum. He does his best to supplement his diet with eggs, legumes, and nuts. But he finds his appetite insatiable by these alone. He prefers to buy meat from a butcher in town, but again, going into town isn’t easy for him either.

When he does buy meat, he’ll get a turkey carcass. If an animal is to be killed, he’d rather use up the scraps that are often tossed away than have the food go to waste. He’ll boil it and make jook (type of congee; rice porridge basically). He’ll also buy tripe and make a curry with spices Asra has gifted him.

As for sweets, Muriel prefers fruits, but even then, he’s more of a vegetable eater. He likes mushrooms with gravy, alfalfa sprouts in sandwiches, and snow peas as a snack.

Lucio:

Lucio.

Is a picky eater.

It’s not that he refuses to only eat refined foods, but there’s just not a lot of foods that he likes. Thankfully, years on a battlefield taught him to not complain or fuss (too much) over meals, so it’s not difficult to get him to eat something for health rather than pleasure. Still… he’ll give you a generous dose of pouting.

He’s a meat and potatoes kind of guy. Beef and potatoes in stew, ham and mashed potatoes, turkey and roast potatoes… he’s just painting the same picture with different colored paints .

If he eats vegetables, he prefers them cooked. And if he eats fruits, he prefers them fresh with sugar. A fruit that he does enjoy quite a lot are figs.

Of course. He likes sweets, any sweet (more so than Portia) and will eat them for dinner if no one stops him.

His favorites are cakes, pies, and cookies, as it’s not something he got often as a child. He very much enjoys frosting and is known to stick his finger in the cake to swipe a lick while no one is watching.

unusual associations tag

freshly poached from Breezy, who never puts locks in their hoard @blind-the-winds

Rules: pick as oc and answer their associations (I guess)

I'm doing R and Savannah (from Youth) because I was thinking about them at work today

Seasoning: R is mint. He's mostly chill but a little bit spicy if you bite into too much of him. Savannah is sweet and sour sauce - what is that - because uh she is.

Weather: R is a blustery day but it's not cold, exactly, and the sun is out. You're fighting the wind but you're happy about it. Savannah is the boiling heat of midsummer. You're dying but you're happy about it.

Color: R is brick red, but according to Savannah he's orange. He's loud, he draws your eye, and he never shuts up. Savannah is pink, and she's adorable, and she'll fight you.

Sky: R is the pale, pale blue right before the sky turns red at sunset. Savannah is the effervescent aurora in all its cotton candy glory.

Magical power: R is projected thermography, which is great considering his terrible memory. Savannah is colorized telepathic empathy, which is great considering her tendency to suck at secrets.

House plant: R is a sunflower that is too tall for your low ceilings. Savannah is an orchid that is not the color you thought it'd be.

Weapon: R is flirtation, and if that fails, fists. He's a crappy fighter, though. Savannah is intimidation, and if that fails, fists. She's better than R.

Subject: R is history, which again, the irony. Savannah is athletics.

Social Media: R gets insta, because he needs to have visual representation of what he did yesterday. Savannah is tumblr. She's a tumblr girlie and you're not even mad.

Makeup product: R is eyeliner maybe? Dramatic lad. Savannah is the funkiest eyeshadow.

Candy: R is dark chocolate covered candied orange peels. Savannah is nerds rope.

Fear: R fears being overlooked, and also being perceived. You know. Mortifying experience. Savannah could stand to be a little more afraid.

Ice cube shape: R is actual cubes. Savannah is like. I dunno. Mickey mouse. Something gimmicky.

Method of long distance travel: train for both. They really like riding on trains, or the metro, or trolleys.

Art style: R is that guy that does the troubled birds. Adrian somebody. Matt Adrian. Savannah is that guy that does the blocky color landscapes that are nonsense up close but super cool far out. Uh.

Mythological creature: R is a changeling, but instead of being a faerie he's just another human, but he's convinced he's special forever because he has this funny mark on him. He is special! He's a failed changeling. Savannah is a mermaid, and yes I'm saying that because she loves to swim.

Piece of stationary: R is a postcard and Savanah is a tiny note in a tiny envelope.

Celestial body: R is Pluto, because he doesn't know if he deserves to be in the gang or not. Savannah is a supernova, because she deserves to be.

@oh-no-another-idea @akindofmagictoo @iparisaltanwing @livvywrites @flock-from-the-void @nikkywrites or anybody!

New plated dessert class means I introduce my students to a new menu! I like starting this class with a tasting the students get to sit and experience because it gives them a better idea of what the objectives and the concepts for the semester are (and I get to perform so it’s fun for me).

The menu is a summer theme:

1. Calissons façon Mille Feuille

A Mille Feuille with the flavor of one of my favorite French candies - brûléed puff pastry, almond mousse, melon confit, orange marmalade, toasted almonds, pickled melon rind, candied orange peel, freeze dried crispy tangerines, and cantaloupe ice cream.

2: Iztuzu Beach, 19:44

A double layered black tahini mousse and salted lemon mousse with a preserved lemon curd center and black lemon shortbread, black sesame and apricot compote, black tahini crunch, and fresh lemon.

3: Kunsei

A sundae - rosemary and lapsang souchong sorbet, toasted and puffed rice with rosemary oil, spicy strawberries fresh and roasted with lapsang souchong, balsamic vinegar, and pink peppercorns, fresh grapefruit, grilled and marinated aloe, whipped genmaicha rice pudding, smoked sea salt, and a sauce made with the roasting liquid.

"My lady deaconess!" Sigurd jogged to meet her at the door, immediately coming to a crouch before her. It was clear that for a moment he was tempted to drag her into a hug, but he withdrew his hands after a gentle pat to her shoulders. "You've decided to come, I'm so pleased. Here, please, this is for you."

He hadn't been sure, skittish thing that she was, that she would have accepted the invitation to such a group event, but his heart swelled that she had been moved to participate in the festivities alongside him.

Reaching up to the table near the entrance, Sigurd grabbed a goodie-bag and placed it gently into Veyle's hands, grinning. The bag is of a plush sapphire velvet with braided gold drawstrings. If she were tempted to peek inside, she would find the festive goodies of the typical Chalphy holiday season: roasted nuts coated in a caramelized warming spice mixture, a hand-pulled twisted peppermint stick, decadent candied orange peel, and a holiday cracker to be pulled later with little knick-knacks within.

"A bit of a taste of my home and my childhood, I hope you find something pleasing to you in there. Please, make yourself welcome!" Standing, he swept an arm to the fully decorated dining hall. "There is some time until dinner is served. Please come find me if anything is not to your liking. You must promise."

Winking, he held up his pinky, an invitation that she could take or leave as she chose.

in the end, the fell princess had steeled herself to accept the invitation that emblem sigurd had sent her. she didn't think she really belonged to something like this and that she might ruin it, but it would be worse to reject such a generous offer from emblem sigurd himself.

(there she goes again, conflating sigurd here in fodlan and the emblem sigurd she used to be friends with in elyos.)

she blinks in surprise as he crouches down to her level as he had done once before at this year's ball— her hands would be clutched to her chest right now if it were not for the basket in her left hand that held the generous portion of spicy she'd attempted to make.

"…thank you." comes her soft smile, delicately taking the gift in her other hand as if it would shatter like glass if she were not careful. "it's common to bring your own plate of food to this, right…?" veyle does not take his pinky, but rather holds up the basket after a moment of deliberation in her brain. "i also made something if that's okay. it's a curry that i eat a lot in elyos."

[bigdumbbambieyes]

i dunno man, i think a lot about billy’s eating habits, and how most of his meals and snacks are probably policed by neil. they all eat what neil likes. except, when neil’s not there..billy does whatever the fuck he wants. even if that means driving to the grocery store for ingredients. max usually eats at one of the rugrats’ houses so he doesn’t have to worry about her either. ANYWAY. some things i think he does: eats his oranges and kiwis with the peel, doesn’t bother removing strawberry leaves, DOES BOTHER slicing up his apples. will 100% start making some sort of pasta at like 11pm while neil is working. hates HATES leafy greens. will only eat egg if it’s scrambled. ate a lot of sushi in california but hasn’t dared touch it since getting to hawkins. i could go on!!!

you are absolutely insane for saying Billy would eat his oranges and kiwis with the peel 💀 but you’re also so right

my small addition to this: i like to think that Billy loves spicy food!! and sour candies, he loves those so he keeps a bag of them hidden in his room

[new-squidbeak-gaytoon]

[missoneminute]

Hey, I know you’re a perfume enthusiast so I was wondering if you have a favourite “woody” fragrance? For women I guess although gender isn’t super important lol. Also, any current favourites that you’d recommend? I always enjoyed the way you talk about it. Love xx

Hello! I have a side blog for perfume asks here, so I will reblog this there! I admit I don't love too many woody perfumes as they often don't work on my skin - end up smelling like pencil shavings. I don't know what it is, but happens especially with cedar heavy fragrances. There's some exceptions though: Baccarat Rouge 540 (I know it's trendy and stupid priced) which turns to candied pine needles on me, which I love. A good and more reasonably priced alternative is Burberry Her - it's very similar, made by the same perfumer, and smells like picking berries in the woods to me. I love Pomegranate Noir by Jo Malone, which smells of Christmas and Christmas trees to me. I also like Gucci's Mémoire D'Une Odeur which I know is quite unpopular but I love the herbal-y sandalwood hippy quality. Aura Mugler by Mugler is another herbal-y woody, tree nymphs and fairies sort of fragrance. @suchasinistergame is a huge fan of Penhaligon's Halfeti which is very woody and spicy. Hope that gave you some ideas! My current favourites in general are Panettone by Milano Fragranze, which I just bought - if you literally want to smell like Panettone cake, which I adore, then this is pretty much that, candied orange peel and spices with a boozy kick. I've also just finished my bottle of Bee by Ellis Brooklyn and plan to re-buy, which I only do for a handful of fragrances - it's such a tasty, waxy honey perfume. I also just bought a travel size of the Lovefest Burning Cherry by Kayali which everyone says is a dupe for Tom Ford's Lost Cherry. It's very similar and actually stronger, the issue with the Tom Ford is that it just fades off so fast. I'm not huge on Kayali, I think they smell kind of, poppy and cheap, I guess, but the cherry one is really good! Thanks for asking, always fun to answer! x

“ reminds me of you ” + mercutio and naoise, and he's gritting his teeth about it.

|| send in “ reminds me of you ” for my muse to recount things they see, smell, hear, feel and taste that remind them of your muse. ; accepting!

Oh?

Had the peaceful silence of their punishment singularity worn Mercutio down enough for the man to ask this? Well then. Naoise blinked, surprised for a moment before a tiny grin crossed his face just for a brief moment. Just a second before it was wiped away with a thoughtful frown.

"Huh. Well, to start then! Fire, wild and uncontrolled and devouring all in its wake. The dying rays of the sun on the horizon at the end of the day, burning so hot the sky turns crimson and blinding me as it catches on the edge of a blade. And the deep brown soil of living earth. I see you in those things." A twirl of his hunting knife with a flash of teeth, before Avenger continued. "The smell of that bitter drink you're so fond of. Oranges and incense. Soap and amber. And spicy herbs as well. Smelling those scents brings me to you."

The knife was tossed blade down into the ground, not a speck of the previous night's hunt remaining.

"The roar of the wind, the call of hunting birds. A flute playing a dancing tune. A crowd's low rumble in a morning market. And a distant howl of wolves calling to each other. Music, lovely but discordant at the same time. I hear your voice in those moments. Heh."

Here he was feeling sentimental now.

Oh dear.

"The feeling of brushing my hand through a flame, the touch of finely crafted cloth. Golden threads, falling between my fingers like sand and water. The deadly brush of a blade against my neck." Lazily he drew a finger across his neck to demonstate to Berserker with a small smile. "The flavor of chocolate, not the sweet stuff but that dark version. But there's a touch of sweetness too, candied fruit peels and the spicy taste of ginger. A faint taste of blood, rich and cloying. And wine, as well. That's your taste."

Finally Naoise smiled properly, leaning back against the tree as his dark eyes watched Mercutio carefully.

"Are you pleased?"
