With a huff, you pulled the sheets off your heated body and the chilly air quickly hugged you. You climbed out of bed and walked out of your chambers.

Night has came very quickly, but you could not find sleep so easily. On the morrow, you will be leaving for Dragonstone with your sister, Rhaenyra. Many thoughts had roamed your mind enough to keep you from your slumber.

Without knocking, not wanting to wake your sister up, you slipped into your young sister, Helaena’s chambers. Although it was dark in the room, you could still see the blown out candles and your only light was the starry sky. You could feel her eyes on you as you slipped inside her bed, reaching for Helaena’s arms that had quickly reached out, to your surprise.

Helaena pulled you closer to her, her warmth made you feel calm and soothed. “Is it true?” she asked, in a whisper. “You are leaving?”

“Yes, sweet sister.” you answered.

She nodded, with her head comfortably resting on your chest. Out of everyone in the family, Helaena will miss you the most. To her, you are the only one who understands and never treated her differently.

“I heard from the handmaidens,” she whispered as you leaned in to hear more clearly, “sister has proposed that I could be betrothed to Jacaerys.”

From the memory being remembered in your mind, you softly chuckled. Even though, you both were in the dark, you knew Helaena’s cheeks were flushed with redness.

“And what is wrong with that?” you teased, “He’s a sweet boy! He will take care of you and honor you.”

Helaena smiled at the thought—you were right, out of the possible suitors, Jacaerys was the best of them. But she knew his heart wouldn’t belong to her, it was clear that it would always belong to another.

“I do not wish for you to leave.” Helaena suddenly confessed, biting her lip, tears falling from her eyes.

You could feel the tears falling onto your skin, “I shall visit,” you promised, with a gentle tone in your voice, “once I return, we will sit by the gardens and eat cake with berries, Meraxes and Dreamfyre by our side”

Helaena started imagining the thought while she squeezed your hand softly as she tried drifting off to sleep, “Widowed and petrified, a powerful darkness roams in the emerald sky.”

Listening to her prophecy once again, you sharply breathed in. Helaena had only whispered this prophecy to you ever since you both were children. Till this day, you had not know what it meant but it had frightened you immensely.

At last, you were able to sleep, in the arms of your sister. But you were not prepared for the massive headache you would receive the next day.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

“You must rethink this decision!” Alicent urged while you and Lysanna were folding all of your gowns and coats to place them in the luggages. Your things were almost ready to be put in the carriage with the other luggages that belonged to Rhaenyra and her family.

“I refuse to have you leave King’s Landing before your nameday!” you shook your head at her attempts and silently dismissed Lysanna to come back later. You turned to see Alicent with tears in her eyes, you only mentally scoffed in return.

“The King allowed it. He wishes for me to be where I would truly be happy and that is living on Dragonstone with my sister.” you reminded the queen and she only took your hands into hers as a way to plead but it was not working.

“My dearest, you would truly be happy here! In the Red Keep,” she argued and squeezed your hands, “being by the sides of your young siblings and by me. I cannot bear seeing you go, I have always saw you as one of my own.”

“This is not goodbye. We will exchange messages by raven.” you reassured, but Alicent only sobbed louder. She knew messages were nothing if you were not here by her side physically. Sure, you will miss studies with your step-mother and watching your father work on his architect. You will miss playing with your young brothers out in the courtyard. And of course, you will miss your young sister and her whispering prophets that she always tells you.

“Let us appreciate today, step-mother. I swear to you, I will visit on dragonback.”

Alicent let out a nervous sigh from her mouth. Her lips pursued as she looked down at your interlocked hands.

”I…” she stammered, and tentatively let go of your hands before stroking your long silver locks gently, “…will see to it that your luggages are properly prepared..when you arrive on Dragonstone, I want you to message the King and I to know you have arrived safely. Please remember to visit, my dearest.”

She chewed on the inner side of her cheek as she attentively watched your expression brightened at her words. As you gave her a warm hug, she could only return it back tightly. As you both let go, Alicent only had the strength to give you a sad smile before excusing herself to leave your chambers.

Before finally packing your last gown, you called for your knight to come and grab your luggages to bring them outside. While they attended to your things, you looked around the room, noticing how empty it looks without your gowns, your jewelry, your precious collections of art pieces. You snapped out of your thoughts once Lysanna came in your chambers with your nephews—they looked rather happy to know you were coming as well.

“Thank the gods, you will be living with us!” Luke beamed, you laughed at the young boy who prompted himself to sit on your old bed. “Jace was begging mother to let you come with us before she had told us you and Liz were already coming as well.”

“Shut up Luke!”

“It is alright, my Prince,” you smiled at Jace as he only turned red from your words, “your thoughtfulness moves me deeply.”

Lysanna cleared her throat before getting up from her seat and turned towards you, “Perhaps we should begin heading to the carriage? Princess Rhaenyra has already left.”

Once her words settled in, quickly you helped Luke get back on his feet and ushered him and Jace to follow Lysanna to the carriage. As for you, you decided to ride on Meraxes and meet your family at Dragonstone.

But before you decided to leave, you roamed around the castle to look for your father. You were not the type to leave your father stranded without a farewell. As you reached your father’s chambers, his knight bowed to you and held the door open.

Your father was sitting by the windows as usual, you witness him kiss the ring that once belonged to your mother. The sight had only made you feel some kind of guilt for leaving—you did not want to leave your father’s side, especially when his condition has worsen but it was time for you to leave King’s Landing.

Your father had finally looked up and his tears were replaced with a smile, “My sweet girl, what good brings you here?”

“How could I leave without seeing my father once more?” you approached your father and the gloomy atmosphere quickly disappeared once you hugged him, of course, he returned the hug happily. The act suddenly made you remember a sweet memory between you and your father when you were younger.

A sweet memory of when you ran towards your father to give him a huge hug after riding with Meraxes for the first time. He was there to see all of it.

The old King relished in the moment, it pained him to see you leave, the youngest daughter of him and Aemma, his one true love. But he knew Rhaenyra would take great care of you, she had always shown a great amount of love and care for her younger sister. And perhaps, you will come back with a family of your own, the thought only made your father feel contented. He hopes to live until then to see it.

The hug had only lasted a few seconds but you wish it lasted more. Your tears were noticed by your father and he wiped them off with his remaining hand. “You grown to look just like your mother, y/n.” your father whispered, you let go of him and stand before him. Your sad smile reassured your father.

While you prepared to leave—about to wish him farewells, he looked down at his hand, fiddling with the rings that belonged to him and Aemma with his thumb before deciding to take them off and reached over to your hand to place them gently on your opened palm. You looked back to your father with a worried look.

“Oh father! I couldn’t-“

“I want you to have them..” your father demanded, “you must have them..for me..”

Without wanting to argue back and forth with your father, you looked down at the rings with curiosity before picking up the one that belonged to your mother and examined it. It was pure gold and very beautiful. Within seconds, you slowly placed both rings on your index and ring finger. From this day forward, you will wear them with pride and with the intention of honoring your parents.

Once Viserys watched as you put them on, he saw Aemma for a split second—his heart swelled and was glad that you could be the one to hold on to the jewelry now. He never planned on donating them or simply have them be thrown away after his death. “You must be on your way now, my sweet girl.”

The farewell had almost made you forgotten about traveling, Meraxes had been waiting for you for quite some time now and you did not wish to upset the Silver Queen. With swiftness, you placed a kiss on your father’s cheek and waved him goodbye as you left his room.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

It took over a day but you and your family had arrived to Dragonstone, you let Lysanna attend to your things and unpack everything for you, told her to find the biggest chambers and place your things in there. Meraxes settled on the east side of the huge island to rest, she was very big for the dragon pit. You took the time to explore the island while the rest of your family settled inside the spine-chilling castle.

Dragonstone is cold.

But it was rather better than Kings Landing. Sure you missed the weirwood tree and the gardens. You missed your siblings, father, and step-mother. But you were met with true happiness around the presence of your older sister and her family.

Thoughts clouding your mind, you released a sigh as you roamed your hands on the sand.

It was relaxing in Dragonstone. The atmosphere made you feel at peace—even if it was actually dreary and lonely but that’s what made it better. The sounds of waves crashing towards the shore, the massive caves underneath Dragonstone, and the overwhelming winds made you gleam in happiness. You couldn’t wait to explore the entire island.

Although yes—there’s not a lot to do in Dragonstone. You see yourself spending most of your days in the massive and grand library, reading histories about your House and Old Valyria. But you had the company of Lysanna and your nephews to help you not feel lonely. Surely, Meraxes will always be in your company too, she will be with you as you roam the shores.

“How long have you stayed here?”

You looked up from your spot on the sand, quickly clasped your hands together to get rid of the sand that stayed sticking on to your palms. Your neutral look on your face replaced with a small smile.

You made room right by your side and patted the space, “Come sit, nephew. The sun is about to set.” Jace quickly sat down and moved even closer by your side.

“Mother was looking for you. She had asked me to fetch you back inside,” Jace mentioned and you turn your head to look at the shorter boy, “but I would like to spend some time with you before we head back.”

You giggled at the statement and slightly placed your head down on his shoulder, Jace only leaned into your touch. “That does not make sense, my prince, you always spend time with me. With any opportunity, you’re always by my side,” Jace felt warm and fuzzy from your words. It was the truth, since birth, he had always preferred to be with you.

“My sweet protector.”

“Princess..” Jace muttered, a hint of sadness in his voice, you looked at him with curiosity. “Has it been decided? Your betrothal?

His question made you slightly hiss from irritation. Alicent had not said anything but you never accepted the betrothal. You’re sure that since moving to Dragonstone, you do not need to marry Aegon.

But..now who will wed Aegon?

You shook your head and gave him a relieved sigh, “No,” you answered truthfully, “…but I am glad it has been postponed. I rather wait a few more years until I am to be betrothed.”

Jace finally breathed out—he was holding his breath while waiting for your answer, he smiled while he watched the sunset.

“I do not wish to see you be betrothed..at all” he whispered, softly.

“I know…I’m sorry.” you mumbled, hugging your knees tight to your chest and leaning your head to rest on your knees instead as you turned to keep staring at Jace. You could not help but caress his hair to bring some sort of comfort.

“I do not want to see you abandon me, Princess..” the young boy admitted, staring back into your tired lilac eyes. He watched your long curls of hair dance with the wind. After roaming your hand in his hair, you gently grasped his hand and smiled.

“The last thing I want is to abandon you, nephew. I swear it on my life, I will never leave your side.” You swore and tightened your hold on his smaller hand. “I shall stay by your side till my last breath.”

Jace nodded and pulled you into a strong embrace.

“There is something I have always wanted to confess,” he said, nervously while he planted a quick kiss on your cheek. “but I will tell you when I am of age, so please wait until then.”

You giggled at his sudden awkwardness, “I will try my best to wait, my kind Prince.”

“That is not reassuring!” he shouted and you continued to giggle as he started to pout. “You have to promise me, Princess!” he insisted, with his arms slightly shaking you.

After you stopped your laughter, you took a deep breath and nodded. You wanted him to tell you what is his confession but you had a feeling you already knew what he wanted to say, you were with denial—you didn’t want it to be true. But of course it had to be, you know it, the whole Red Keep knows it. You known since the day he had wished to be married to you. You weren’t ready for that day to come just yet, surely, you have felt some sort of feelings for Jace as well but you also knew it would never be a happy marriage, knowing Targaryens marriages had always ended terribly, so you shall wait until he is older and mature, hopefully, he will forget about his confession and carry on with his life.

“I promise I will wait for you, Jacaerys.”

From the tone of your voice, Jace was finally reassured. The sun also had finished setting, it was a crescent moon tonight. You got up from the sand and helped your nephew get up as well while he grabbed your coat for you and handed it back. You both started walking back to the castle—knights at the front, letting you both in quickly and you let your nephew lead you to the left wing of the castle to where you will be staying.

“Your chambers is close to mine. That way, I could always visit you without having to travel throughout the castle,” Jace informed, he looked excited as he told you. Out of all the chambers in the castle, he chose one that was closest to yours. “Come! Let us have supper!”

He took your hand once again and lead you to the dining room, your family and Lysanna were seated in the long table, quietly chatting and eating from their plates. The room looked eerie—same as all the other rooms in the castle. The chairs were dark wooden, sculpted with dragons, as for the table. The fireplace was placed by the large windows, it was the main source of light for the massive room.

Rhaenyra looked up while she was attending the babe that was placed on her lap, Joffrey. She smiled and motioned for the handmaidens to help you both be seated. You sat by Lysanna, who was happily playing with your other nephew, Luke.

“How was your adventure, exploring the land?” Rhaenyra inquired, placing her eyes on you while you took a sip from your cup. The wine tasted much more rich than the wine in King’s Landing.

“It was lovely,” you praised, “I love the shores, I watched the sunset with Jace.” As you spoke, Jace quickly turned at the mention of his name.

“It took me awhile to find her!”

Ser Laenor cleared his throat as he looked towards you and his son, while he was very much into his meal. “Dragonstone is a very big island.” he acknowledged, you nodded in agreement.

You and Rhaenyra continued to chat about many topics, you had let her known that you decided to help Lysanna speak High Valyrian. You all were happily conversing with one another and it made you feel much better, realizing this was the first family dinner you had in weeks.

The peace was interrupted when a handmaiden entered the room with immense speed, rushing to the Princess Rhaenyra. The handmaiden whispered into the princess’ ear and immediately your sister’s face dropped, and her body became tense. You turned to look and her grip on Joffrey slightly tightened.

Your sister seemed frozen, so you spoke, “Sister, what is it?” you asked, nervously. With no response, You turned to whisper to Lysanna, asking if she could put the boys to bed now. Lysanna, unknowing of the situation, nodded and helped Luke from his seat and pat Jace to follow her. As she was getting ready to leave, you gently took the babe from Rhaenyra and handed him to Lysanna before they all had left the dining room quietly.

With impatience, Ser Laenor took Rhaenyra’s hand, “Rhaenyra, what has happened?” Clearly concern was painted all over his face. The once delighted atmosphere in the room became dreary and dull

“The Lady Laena Velaryon,” Rhaenyra breathed, not wanting to make eye contact with you or Ser Laenor “has passed.”

taglist (woohoo!): @sigynxlokiwifelover @writer-lee5

[victorluvsalice]

-->A process annoyingly interrupted by a specter, who caused them to drop their trash in favor of getting sprinkled. From across the damn front walkway, no less. *grumbles* Darn distracting blob-ghosts... I had Smiler loot the resultant pile for parts, then dropped it in the trash can for them and had them go sort out all the recyclables so the gang didn’t have to worry about anything overflowing any time soon. While they were doing that (and I knocked Victor out of a perma-weeding loop on a bugged plant so he would tend the rest of the garden), Alice finished her breakfast, cleaned MORE spoiled food out of the fridge (in fact, cleaning spoiled things out of fridges was going to become a theme of the day, as you will find out), then went and fed Toothy the cowplant before going to give the chickens a bit more feed (as at least one hen was still starving, as per the tooltips). As she took care of that, I decided that Smiler should probably clear that specter that was lurking by the front path and being a distraction on the way to the trash can and had them present them with a dark red chatterbot of their own design. To my relief, the specter appreciated the gift, and gave Smiler a glob of wraith wax! :D We do love our sacred candles around here...

-->With the specter no more, farm chores could continue – Alice collected the eggs from the chicken coop and chatted with all the chickens (who were glad to talk to her today, hooray), while Smiler went to check on Moory and see how she was doing. The cow wasn’t impressed with Smiler’s initial attempts at conversation, but cheerfully accepted a tipping. Smiler was thus able to successfully milk her for both the standard six regular milk and one enriched milk. :) Good use of 25 simoleons! As I continually state, it’s not like the gang can’t afford it. XD Victor, meanwhile, finished up tending all the non-bugged-plants, got the beeswax and the honey out of the beehive, and grabbed himself some banana split waffles to eat before running out to have a quick flirt with Smiler in the cow paddock. :) Poor Alice, meanwhile, was once again put on “get all this spoiled food out of the fridge, please” duty (seriously, so much stuff went bad today! This is what happens when you have a lot of produce and dairy products and such and Sims who don’t eat much if at all). I then sent everyone into the greenhouse to harvest a few key plants – Alice got the soy and black beans, bell peppers, and strawberries (the latter just because I know she likes them); Victor got the emotional berries off the Tree of Emotions (a full set of all the different ones this time) and some pineapples; and Smiler got their poison fireleaf and noxious elderberries (unfortunately getting a slight rash in the process) – before having Victor super-sell everything else. While waiting for him to finish up, I had Alice do a little scavenge in the yard (unearthing an emerald, nice) and sell a painting, and had Smiler brush off Shadow (still hanging out in the front entrance for some reason). Finally, once everyone was ready, I dumped the day’s milk and eggs into the fridge, gathered them all up –

Mushy May Day 6: Picnic

I submitted picnic to the list so it's only fair that I write an entry for it :D Enjoy this sweet taste of Sunny D lol.

Sometimes the chaos twins get to have a nice moment together… before the chaos :)

Words: 591

Rating: Gen/Everyone I guess but there is a curse word or two thrown in

Read below the cut or on AO3 here

When Sunny and Dew got together the result could sometimes be… explosive. Fire and air tend to play into each other anyways, but that combined with the two’s chaotic natures tended to worry the rest of the pack when they would hang out. 

Other times though there were moments like this. Far away into the woods tucked into a small clearing, the two laid out in a little patch of sun. They would eventually get back to the grand spread packed up on the blanket behind them, but for now they relished in the moment. Both took a deep breath, focusing on the feeling of light breeze blowing through the clearing, cooling their sun-warmed skin ever so slightly, and the weight of the other’s hand clasped in their own. 

Despite being a troublesome duo, the other’s presence had a calming effect sometimes. There was a feeling of resolution from connecting with the partnering element, all the ever-racing thoughts in the ghouls minds settling out. They had on several occasions tried to explain this to the rest of the pack, but were accused of trying to have an excuse to hang out alone and scheme up trouble. It doesn’t matter in the end, the semi-secret nature of these picnics in the woods only added to the fun.

Eventually Sunny feels the fire ghoul give her hand a gentle squeeze, indicating that he is ready to continue with the rest of their outing. “I was just about to do the same thing… twinsies” Sunny giggles as she sits up, crawling back over to the large picnic blanket she had swiped out of Mountain’s closet earlier that morning. 

The two unpack the basket of goodies in comfortable silence, the fresh fruit pilfered from the abbey gardens taking center stage as they surround it with the pastries they had convinced Mountain to bake for them, and the strawberry lemonade Dew prepared earlier that morning. Sunny had planned all the snacks but was still ecstatic to see the way in which Dew was able to execute it all. 

Once the pastries are gone, they go back and forth attempting to throw berries into the other's mouth, laughing uncontrollably whenever it hits their forehead instead. By the time the afternoon sun begins to fall below the treeline, all of the provisions are gone and their faces stained with faint little blotches of red and blue from the errant berries. 

They both lay back onto the blanket, looking up at the sky above and once again holding hands. Every once and a while one of the two gestures with their combined hands at a funny shaped cloud or weird bird flying overhead. For the most part though they simply bask in each other’s company.

“This has been really nice, sunbeam” Dew sighs contently, but Sunny knows there is something else there beneath the surface. A light hint of mischief sneaking into his tone that any of the others would have missed. The serene moment has reached its conclusion and the time for the two of them to tear across the grounds like a wildfire has returned.

“It really has been, but I get the feeling you have a new plan in mind” she prompts, smiling at Dew wickedly as she sits up. 

The fire ghoul pushes himself up, turning to look at her in the eye. “Wanna see if we can figure out how to combine our magics to make some sorta hot air balloon?” he propositions, eyes already glowing with barely contained magical energy.

“Oh fuck yeah!”

Chapter 4- Part 1

So, before anything else- we’re going back to Seacrest’s garden. Julia’s an Electric-type user, and right now we don’t have a lot of good answers to those and I doubt we’ll be getting a Ground-type right now. So, a Grass-type (and maybe an Electric-type of our own, but that’s a whole other thing) is our best bet right now.

What to expect from Julia…well, I joked about her using an Electrode before, but I sincerely do think she’ll have an Electrode on her team. Given she’s a cheerleader and this game has Pokémon up to Gen VII, I’m also expecting her to have Pom-Pom Oricorio as well. I mean- it’s not only Electric-type, it’s a cheerleader bird! That’s like- perfect for a character like Julia! I’ll be surprised (and disappointed) if she doesn’t have Pom-Pom Oricorio, if anything.

Also, again- probably not gonna be able to get a Ground-type right now, but even if I were to have one, I’d expect Julia’s team to have one or two Air Balloon-holders or at least one Pokémon with Levitate (Rotom? A member of the Tynamo line?). Maybe a Pokémon that knows Magnet Rise as well?

Not to mention what the game’s main page said about terrain effects being a prominent thing- I’m expecting there to be a lot of (if not permanent) Electric Terrain. That means an even greater boost to Electric-type attacks and no Sleep. Terrifying! But outside of all that…I don’t know what else I could expect. So, let’s just focus on the type aspect for now and find ourselves a Grass-type.

Oh, and it’s raining today! If I use Riptide in any battles, that’ll be helpful…or I’ll get blasted if I go up against a Water-type on the opposing side. Weather effects work both ways, folks!

Now- time to touch some grass again, this time in an advanced way! There’s bound to be at least one species of Grass-type in these patches. I won’t be picky!

A…Sunkern? I mean- okay, fair enough, it’s definitely a Grass-type. I doubt I’m gonna be getting a Sun Stone anytime soon so no evolving it right now, but its pre-evolution moveset should work for what we need.

Glare’s at a much higher level than Sunkern here, but one Bite shouldn’t kill it, right?

I don’t know if I like its health being in the yellow, though- Poké Balls tend to work better the lower a Pokémon’s health, after all. This alone wouldn’t be an issue, but I still only have the one (1) Poké Ball, so if this doesn’t work, then- goodbye, Sunkern encounter. I really should have brought Gullet with, Sleep via Yawn would have worked really well for catching a new Pokémon.

Well, nothing to do now but just throw the Ball and hope for the best.

There we go, success after all! Oh boy, I am- not gonna be buying a new Poké Ball until Xera gets some more money. If we see an event Pokémon, then we can go get one, but until then we’ll just…vibe without Poké Balls.

Now let’s say hello to Summer the Sunkern, our current best defense against Julia’s Electric-types! As soon as I level him up some more!

Oh?? What have we here?? Early Bird as an Ability??

For those not in the know- Early Bird is Sunkern’s Hidden Ability. At long last, now I am the one using Pokémon with Hidden Abilities (besides Riptide)! 

But before we do some level grinding…I just noticed that there’s this other big building right before the entrance to the main part of Peridot Ward, which I didn’t notice before. Time to head in and see what we can find.

A Skitty? Hello? Event? Pardon??

Nooo, not the kitty!! D: What’s Xera supposed to do to help? Find an item? Use an item? She’s got Potions and an Oran Berry, but with no prompt to do anything, like- what needs to be done?

Maybe one of these other NPCs will have something to say?

I can’t even be surprised by this point- I’m sure we’ll fight them once we head north.

Ah, Inkay, such a unique little squid thing. I remember back when I was first playing through Pokémon Y, trying to complete the PokéDex, and I was soooo confused on how to evolve Inkay. I was just leveling it up and up, higher and higher, until a friend of mine figured out the “turn the 3DS upside down” thing and told me. It makes sense that a game like Reborn- which is meant to be played on a PC instead of a handheld device- would alter the way Inkay evolves to account for the different hardware. 

But the way it’s explained here, it’s…weird. What’s that supposed to mean? “If you startle it while it has the chance to evolve, it will actually go through with it.” Is that supposed to imply Inkay evolves, like…the opposite way Pokémon usually evolve? You know, like- you usually cancel an evolution by pressing the B button (or the desktop equivalent), startling the Pokémon. Does this mean that, in order to evolve Inkay, you need to press the B button, otherwise the evolution won’t go through?

That…actually kinda makes sense, what with Inkay’s whole “topsy-turvy” theming. What better way to adapt that to a desktop Pokémon game by reversing the way evolution works in that way?

AN ORAN BERRY, YOU SAY?

Ohohoho, perfectly willing, old lady! Streak’s Ability isn’t changing any time soon, there’s a good chance he’ll just find another Oran Berry at some point.

Next

I started this diary thing so I can keep track of time easier.. summer has been real fast nowadays:/

I've been living on grapes and plums nowadays, staying at home, reading and stuff

I lost 3kgs, stopped eating dinner, and I do cardio (now 63kg) :D

I joined into a local library, I'm a proud part of the group for almost an euro for a year! I wish I knew about it sooner. Anyway, now I'm learning about trees, abuse and minimalism rn from my temporary treasures.. which give me knowledge for life.. 0.o

After that breakdown I had the courage to talk to them, and turns out I was just overthinking! Sadly now I don't have the energy or the mood to talk. We used to talk daily, but now it takes days to reply:( 🫐

I love that about myself that I am braver day by day. :)

It's still hard to find a job. I blamed myself for it in the past, but now as I'm trying harder, when they can't even pick up the phone or answer my messages I see that there was nothing wrong with me.. also, the 3 star tells a lot lol

Tomorrow I will call them again, and when they tell me that "oh I will reply to ur message in a min" I'm probably gonna say something like "oh I would believe u but u said that last time too, and had to call ur boss bc u can't do ur job, so how about u answer me rn" ugh this was so embarrassing to read, ik. I'm just so annoyed. I need money. I was trying for weeks, and they ghost me, when their job is to literally help students to get jobs.. after this I probably won't ask for their help again.. it seems like a waste of time, nothing more

I saved this smol bean from our beast, lil berry. (Sorry bean if I'm holding you wrong) This creature has 0 survival skills, after putting it in our garden it just hopped back xd i had to hold down Berry bc he was going nuts, thankfully smol bean decided to live one more night and went back into the garden🌙

Also, this is Sebastian, happy summerween

Where Does Your Food Come From? Part 2-Backyard Gardens

Backyard gardens have gone from a necessity to a hobby and now are maligned by certain people we will call, “globalists.” Claims that backyard gardening has a carbon footprint 5 times greater than commercial growing have been published along with a lot of other rubbish, as if the amount of carbon you make growing plants makes a difference in the global climate. The fact is that plants need CO2 to produce oxygen and to grow. In any case, we need to eat and during WWII, Great Britain would have gone down and during the Great Depression, there would have been more starvation without backyard gardens. Today, we are faced with a similar situation where much of the food we can buy is not good for us and is getting less and less affordable. Whenever times are hard, gardens become increasingly important by providing cheap, nutritious sources of food.

I grew up with gardens. I even had one at an apartment complex where I was living. People laughed at my little garden- a container of tomatoes, two of peppers, and a bucket of potatoes, until the tomatoes came on. Home grown tomatoes outshine store bought any day. When I started my own family, I also started a small farm on 1/3 of an acre. It was already planted with oranges, plums, cherries, peaches, grapes and artichoke and asparagus beds. I added a spectacular variety of vegetables, a couple of ducks to eat the slugs and snails and a little coup of chickens. Our grocery bill was the lowest on the block.

Now I understand that this would not be possible anywhere. It was in California, in the Central Valley where the growing season is long. However, no matter where you are, you can grow something. Fruit and nut trees are seasonal, but they produce each year and only need minimal care. The same goes for many berries. Asparagus and artichokes will also produce as long as the beds are taken care of, and the winter temperatures are not super cold. As far as the super cold is concerned, I read about one family that lived in a very cold, snowy area and raised winter crops in a greenhouse heated by rabbits. That’s a two for! The point is that where there is a will there is a way.

If you’ve read some of my other articles on food, you already know there are plenty of reasons to have your own garden. The biggest reason is that it’s your garden and you are in control of what methods to use, and what chemicals, if any. The second best reason is that the food tastes better and is more nutritious than that grown in large monocrop fields. Then there is the time you spend outside, collecting vitamin D from the sun and getting a little exercise. There is a food shortage already happening. With the crop failures, the movement to stop meat from being produced, farmland being taken out of production, and other problems, it is getting increasingly difficult to be able to afford nutritious food. It may at some point get difficult to find at all.

In light of the above, having whatever garden one has the room for, or can make the room for, is going to be important. I know many are not able to have gardens because of space and other reasons. In that case, community gardens, farmers’ markets, or just getting to know a farmer through doing business with them would be a plus. As for those who have the space but claim to have black thumbs- My oldest daughter claimed to have a black thumb yet when she took over management of a small 7-acre farm, she not only raised many animals, but her vegetable garden was an unqualified success. She used the internet, other gardeners, and books on gardening as her guides to achieve this success.

A wealth of information exists on different kinds of gardening, The internet, of course, has a ton of information. People around you can also be a source of information that is more local and can give you tips based on the locality. Rodale put out a series of gardening books with some great information as have a number of other publishers. Local groups organized around the planted seed can be contacted as well as your state agriculture organization.

I understand that some of you live in the city where space is at a premium. You might not have a backyard to plant in. Container, vertical, roof top, and hydroponic gardens are an answer to this problem. The point is to start thinking about your food now. Just stocking up will only be a temporary solution. Fresh food needs to be added to the mix both for nutrition and to make the preserved supplies last. My advice for anyone able to do it is to bury some seeds.

If there is a subject you would like to hear about food, food production or even stories about my experiences in the food industry, and I have some great ones, drop me a line by accessing my contact page on my site: https://irawhite.com/contact/

Indispensable helpers.

 In a word are vitamins, you can to think about a bottle with coloured balls, which on the childhood enjoyed as candies. Every vitamin answers for... And how to take theirs? And from which meal to receive?

Thus, let s here to talk about.

Vitamins importance goal for organism help in displaying are important chemical reactions, supporting his vital activity, that is on Latin  means vita is life.They are irreplaceable micro-components, organism is need in vitamins, and not self synthesising as on enough quantities. Thus, s accumulating in fatty tissues and liver, and water-soluble as not stocking up by organism as on a small   quantities and in abundant removing with urine. And to the first vitamins are A,D,E,K ,second  are   C, B groups.Hypervitaminosis are destroying tie with abundant substance quantity are meeting in fatty-soluble vitamin, hypovitaminosis as in a failure his  are in water-soluble. And still a pathologic condition is avitaminosis, begins in organism as of theirs failure.Words  meaning on priority opening for vitamins and names by a chemical formula.With vitamin D we will detail  met in post for no 24,2019, thus let s meet with an  other.

And by alphabet order begin.This is A vitamin, opened on 1913, are close groups by a biochemical structure substances are retinoids as a most famous is retinol, which are having predecessor a provitamin, substance, which in organism staying a vitamin is beta-carotene.

Every from retinoids answer on a process certain:

Retinoid acid stimulate grow and common development.

Retinal in forming base vision ferment.

 Retinol enters a structure for cell membranes and answer for antioxidant protection.

Retinols role in synthesis for sex hormones, interferon and ferment is lysozyme   as antibacterial agent.

A vitamin failure leading to grow delay temp, lowering vision, immunity, but this is fatty-soluble vitamin and in over dosage is accumulating in organism ,staying a toxic dangerously.

And from which a meal sources you can receive this important component?

In vegetable products, green, orange, yellow fruits, vegetables, as in yellow, orange he is having a lot ,that giving for their's    bright colour and in bean. Retinoids are with products of animal origin as fish fat, egg yolk, liver, milk products.

Groups B representatives are lot and all playing importance role in cellular metabolism, as metabolism/

B1 thiamine , B2, PP IS nicotinic acid for transforming in energy are of entering with meal proteins, fats, carbohydrates, B3 help to synthesize proteins and fats.

B2  riboflavin answer for vision, skin, mucus membranes.

B5  pantothenic acid, B6 IS pyridoxine are keeping care for immunity, forming antibodies, B5 rising healing wounds, B6  answers for haemoglobin synthesis and poly unsaturated fatty acids, regulation of nerve system, and erythrocytes revival.

B7 /H1/Biotin helping remove from calorie products, a benefit as in kind a additional energy.

B8 Folic acid is cellular separating, thus a need for grow, development embryo, and activity taking part for hematopoietic and immune systems.

B12  is cyanocobalamin is an especial zone for responsibility as to check for grow and activity nerve system, and helping in forming erythrocytes.

And its true terrible ,that to think ,what will happen with organism in these helpers' failure: immunity lowering, destroy all metabolism processes and hematopoietic, delay grow, eyes diseases, vessel, nerve system.

Thus, you must enrich   our ration with products minimally containing vitamins B, A as bread of hard grinding, seeds sprouts, yeast, nuts, oil, meat, liver, sour milk products, eggs, buckwheat and oats brands, bean, berries, fruits, vegetables.

And also support in a health condition a bowel s microflora as microbiota, she is self synthesising vitamins B6, B7, B9.

Blackberry Ink

Our love story is written in blackberry ink. Swirls of berry colored words with seeds for periods between our adventures.

Our lips were blackberry kisses. Teeth stained from picking berries from the nearby bushes, crushing them under our bodies as we found each other on dirt paths. Lips wet with juices, sweet from the snack of berries we picked and the taste of each other.

I used to trace hearts in the juice of crushed berries in the points of your shoulders all the way down to the crevice of your back. Over and over if I let my name swirl on your skin with wine colored stains from my crushed blackberry pen. You laid in the warm sun, wishing we could stay like this, that I could be this person for you all the time instead of sporadic visits.

Our love was short like blackberry season. It grew wild and over the top. One second I was in a cabin trying to detox and then there you were like a Norman Rockwell painting walking down barefoot to fish. We fell in love at the start of spring and by fall it was all thorns and brambles in our hearts. You wanted me at my best and hated who I was at my worst. You picked me when I was ripe but now I was rotten.

Sometimes, laying in bed in LA, I think of the one time you visited me here. The way your nose crinkled in disgust and how you walked around the mansion I had thrown too much money at and the silence that hung between us was noticeable. We made love in a bed and you didn’t seem to know what to do with all the space we had. So we just let it get between us.

One morning I found you, barefoot in the garden planting a blackberry bush in the corner, hands bleeding slightly from the sticky branches. You told me it was there so I wouldn’t forget it. It was at that point I realized we weren’t going to last. That this was your goodbye to me.

You stopped answering letters and when I went to visit you your cabin was bare of you, filled with just cans of blackberry jam. Preserving the best part of summer. I took three, I think you wanted me to have them because you knew I’d come back looking for you.

I eat it now on bread I learned to toast in an oven and think of that summer love affair. The sweetest love story always has the worst ending.

Strawberry Kisses- Chapter 3

warnings: none, 18+ minors dni

series masterlist

We stop in front of a small cafe and I smile up at Spencer. The sign was written in fancy cursive with a cute coffee cup. He steps in front of me and opens the red door for me. He shuts the door behind us and offers to take my jacket and hangs it next to his. I followed him to a table for two in the back of the cafe that was placed in front of a large window that had a good view of the garden outside.

I wasn’t sure what I expected from Spencer, but this definitely wasn’t it.

A waitress comes to our table and hands us menus before returning to her other customers. I look over the menu, trying to decide what I want. I could spend an hour looking through their entire menu, but it seems that Spencer read the entire thing before I even reached the extensive dessert selection.

Sensing my confusion, Spencer says, “I read fast.”

Just as I was about to reply, the waitress returned with two glasses of water.

“What looks good to you?”, she asks.

Maybe I was imagining it, but I could have sworn I saw Spencer’s eyes on me when she said that. I look up at her and tell her my order, hoping she can’t tell how Spencer is affecting me.

“And for you?”, she asks Spencer.

“I’ll have the grilled chicken sandwich with no tomatoes and a lemonade, thank you”, he smiled.

That smile.

The waitress collected our menus and left to the kitchen, leaving Spencer and I alone again. I fiddle with my napkin, shredding it absentmindedly in my lap.

Spencer reaches across the table and takes my forearms in his hands.

“Why are you suddenly so nervous? We walked all the way here and you were fine, but now you’re making a mess out of your napkin”, he smiles.

“I-I don’t know”, I shrug. I notice how close together our faces are and I jump back. I free my arms from his grip and instead of being offended like I expected, he just smiled back at me with stars in his eyes.

The waitress returns with our food and as we eat, the awkward tension between us turns into a comfortable energy.

“Did you know that the chicken was domesticated in 2000 B.C. in Southwest Asia?”, he asks, looking down at his sandwich. I laugh and shake my head. “Yeah, and birds are descendants from dinosaurs, in fact, chickens and ostriches are the closest related to the T-Rex out of every living animal.”

I lean my chin against my hand and sip my drink.

“Tell me something else.”

“Um… Oh! Did you know that one-third of adults still sleep with some kind of comfort object?”

“I didn’t but I believe that. I sleep with a squishy pillow every night”, I grin.

“What about you?” Spencer shrugs in response.

“Sometimes when I’m home I like to sleep with this teddy bear I got at a carnival a while ago. It helps when the nightmares get bad, I guess.

“Does it have a name?”

“Not really. I’ve never talked about it before so I never felt the need to give it a name” I gasped with mock-offence.

“Just because you’re ashamed of your friend doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have a name”

“I am not ashamed!”, he laughs. “I’m just saying, you don’t see many grown men walking around bragging about their stuffed animals.”

“I don’t know, I think it’s cute that you sleep with a teddy bear.”

There it is, that gorgeous blush.

“I don’t think anyone has ever called me cute before.” I take his wrists in my hands like he did to me earlier.

“Then all of your friends must be blind because you’re adorable.” If it was possible, his face flushed redder.

“D-do you want dessert?”, he asks. I nod.

“Surprise me, Doc. I trust you won’t poison me.”

He walks up to the counter and orders. He leans against the glass case as he waits and he makes silly faces at me. We end up playing a couple rounds of rock-paper-scissors by the time he receives the desserts.

He returns to the table and places my plate down in front of me. It’s a pink, fluffy mousse topped with fresh berries.

“I hope you like strawberry”, he says as he sits.

“I do, thank you.” He grins around a forkful of chocolate cake.

“I figured. You seem like the strawberry type.” I give him a confused look. “You’re sweet. You have an innocence that made me think you prefer fresh, light things. Your phone’s wallpaper is the beach, so I assume you like Summer and the lip-gloss that you’ve been applying is strawberry flavored.”

“Pretty spot on. Is this what you profilers like to do for fun; to get inside people’s heads?”, I tease.

“It’s just basic data collection, I’m not inside of you.” Spencer’s eyes widened and his cheeks flushed as he realized what he said. “I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean it to come out like that!”, he said hurriedly. I stop him with a hand to his forearm.

“I’m flattered, but that’s more of a third date kind of thing.”

“Fifty-six percent of women admit to having sex on the first date, and thirty-six percent say that it lead to a long term relationship”, Spencer said. I give him a slight teasing smirk.

“I thought you said you didn’t want to be another number in the statistics.”

“I-”, he stuttered.

“I’m just messing with you, Doc. Let’s get going, my lunch break is almost over.” I reach to take my wallet from my bag but before I could get it out, Spencer is already up at the counter paying the bill. I walk quickly over to him.

“Let me get half”, I say.

“I asked you to lunch. This one’s on me”, he says, smiling down at me. I roll my eyes playfully.

“Fine, but I get the next one.”

“Fair’s fair”, he says. The person behind the counter hands him the receipt which he folds up and tucks into his pocket. He retrieves our coats and he holds mine up so I can put it on easier. Once we’re dressed, he opens the door for me and I step out.

“You’re such a gentleman, Dr. Reid”, I say with a smile. He returns the smile but doesn’t respond.

We walk in comfortable silence on the way back to headquarters, the journey seeming shorter than before. We reach the lobby and I have to practically drag Spencer up the stairs by his hand.

We get to my floor and I let go of his hand reluctantly, finding comfort in the warm hold he had on me.

“I had a really nice time today”, I say.

“I did too”, he says softly.

“If I were to schedule a follow-up, would you be available?”, I ask hesitantly.

“Of course”, he replies with seriousness.

“You better start on those stairs. Without me to encourage you, you may never reach the top”, I laugh.

Spencer groans and walks out the door. Before he disappears behind the wall, he gives me a small wave and I can’t help but feel warmth in my chest.

[bokettochild]

I, too, wish to be skilled with a knife! Wanna tell me about it? :D

LOL

I'm not actually that good, I just hit a groove with it and was having fun. My family does a lot of canning, jams, jellies, fruits, veggies, soups, stews, chili, relish, sauces, salsa, we've done them all.

Every year, come summer, my mom starts the canning up and there's lots of cutting and canning to be done. Usually she ropes us in on it, and since we're down two from last year (two of my siblings moved out) she relies more on us this year.

They brought in the rhubarb harvest from our garden, because even though we rarely can get anything outta there, squash and rhubarb are assured every year.

'Sides that there's the local farmers market that she'll raid for berries, pickles and various other things (it's getting to berry season too, so I hope we'll go out picking, if only for fun).

Any'ays, the rhubarb came in today and she needed someone to cut it while she and my sister cleaned up from workin' out doors. So, my mom asked me to chop it and when I sat down to it (or stood I guess) I kind of ended up in a groove and was kind of surprised with myself.

This has been the first big chopping this year, so I was expecting to be out of practice. Also, she usually has me chopping pickles, not rhubarb, so this was my first time with it. I was really having fun with it too, so I decided to just share it.

The video was impulse. I really like doing videos but never have a reason to, so I made this one :)

[ofpineapplesanddawns]

Still taking prompts? 🥺 If so: bear hugs - Doc/Malcolm. This ship deserves fluff!

I am still very much taking prompts! :D

Ooooh, yes, they very much need some fluff, been writing too much angst when it comes to this ship lately.

On with the fic!

--

"Apples!" The Doctor beamed as he rushed towards the orchard he had spotted past the pine and birch trees of the forest. "You have apple trees!"

Malcolm chuckled, trying to pick up the pace behind the much faster man. "We started the project last year, to see how they would handle the conditions of the island. It appears that the Goddess deemed them fine to grow on Her soil, and so we will have a plentiful crop come harvest."

The Doctor looked up at the branches of the nearest tree, seeing the beginnings of apples in growth, in time, they would be ready to pick and eat. "What do you think?" Malcolm asked when he finally caught up.

"Perfectly healthy, on their way to thriving here for years if you guys keep up the good work! Any other orchards, or just the apples?"

"We have a small plot for pears, though we are not sure if they will really grow well here."

The Doctor made a face. "Good, they're disgusting, you don't need them."

Malcolm smiled, amused. "Then I suppose if we wish to have them, we will just have to get shipments of preserves from the mainland."

"How's that all going for you guys? The trading and such?"

"Rather well. We keep our heads low, trade in the right markets, no one suspects who we are and where we live." Malcolm replied, sighing. "Best we keep ourselves as secluded as we can, but we must make trades with the mainland, lest we fail. She can only provide so much, we shouldn't take advantage of Her gifts."

The Doctor made a face, hands slipping into his coat pockets. "I guess. Still, I'm willing to help if you need it, the offer still stands."

The prophet shook his head. "No, no, my dear boy, you have already done enough! I don't want you to have to trouble yourself so much with things like this."

"But I like helping when I know I can help." The Doctor replied, his shoulders sagging a little. He looked like a small puppy and Malcolm smiled once more.

"I know you do, dear, and I appreciate it greatly. But we are doing quite well for ourselves, but I know the offer is always on the table. Come now, would you like to see where some of the younger women and children have been working on raising berries?"

This seemed to catch the Doctor's attention and he nodded, excited. Malcolm took his arm, hooking their elbows together, and walking alongside him towards the end of the small orchard. There was a small section set up for an area for teaching the children of harvesting.

It was beginner's work, simple plants that still required attention and specific growing conditions, but it seemed that the young women of their community had taught the younger ones well. The berries and several gourds were growing well, the strawberries even looked ready to be picked.

He watched as the Doctor examined the little garden with an excited enthusiasm as he babbled on about how things were going, even using his strange screwdriver to analyze them. "Oh, these are just right for the picking!" He commented, looking at Malcolm with a bright smile that made the old prophet's heart melt just a little.

"In fact... it's always best to give them a test the old fashion way!" The taller man plucked a rather large strawberry off, looked it over, before popping the whole thing into his mouth. He made a rather, well, delightful moan, to say the least.

"Oh, oh these are perfect!" He said, his mouth still full of fruit. "You guys have got to get me a jar of preserves of this batch!" He reached for another, tossing it in the air before catching it in his mouth with a practiced ease.

"I will be sure to let the ladies know to save you a jar or two, Doctor. They do find you quite the charming man, I'm sure they'll be more than happy to make you several different types." Malcolm replied. "And I'm happy to know that the efforts of our community's youth has done well, they'll be excited to hear this."

The Doctor looked at him, his smile softening for a moment, before he approached and suddenly Malcolm found himself being held tightly in a hug. In fact, he was suddenly lifted off his feet for a moment or two.

"Oh, you humans!" The Doctor said, clearly happy. "It always makes me so happy when you lot do things like this, simple things that seem so insignificant to most, but mean the world to others! Makes me happy to keep coming back here all the time."

Malcolm blinked, looking at the Doctor. "This excites you so?"

"Very much." The Doctor said brightly. "I love it, the little things, always have to take time to enjoy 'em. Be it from a simple strawberry, or spending time with someone you care about on a beautiful day like this!"

He kissed the smaller man on the cheek. "Come on, Malcolm, let's go tell your people, I bet that'll be good news to them!" He gave him one more tight hug, then seemed to rush off again.

Then he stopped, and turned, bouncing on his feet, shouting for Malcolm to catch up. Malcolm touched his cheek, even after all this time, he still so easily found himself caught off-guard by the Doctor's affectionate actions. He nodded and walked after him.

--

I'm possibly getting my own little home soon (I am excited to move from my apartment), and I keep thinking about how I'd love to have a garden. Specifically a goth garden, but that depends on conditions, so that little desire inspired this one-shot.

Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun: Ghost Hotel’s Café (Part 2)

Revealing the secrets of the menu, such as “crushing muffins so they will look like earth”! Interview with the staff of Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun GHOST HOTEL’S CAFÉ.

GHOST HOTEL’S CAFÉ, the collaboration café of “Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun” – an on-going manga from Monthly G Fantasy (Square-Enix) by Aida Iro-sensei –, was held in Ikebukuro, Tokyo at AniPara CAFÉ for a limited period from December 5 to February 11. Here, we have carried out an interview with the staff behind the planning and production of “Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun”. We have discussed things in detail, from the background of the collaboration café’s presentation to the public to the secret stories behind the development of the food and drinks that reflect ideas from the author, Aida Iro-sensei!

Interviewees

Square-Enix café organizer: Ookubo Kana-san

Square-Enix editor in charge of “Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun”: Imanishi Chiharu-san

Grounding Lab café planner: Andou Minako-san

Grounding Lab café planner: Nakayama Natsuko-san

Andmowa café menu creator: Aizawa Kanto-san

AniPara CAFÉ manager and menu creator: Shirato Kouhei-san

The collaboration café of “Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun” is entirely supervised by AidaIro-sensei!

——How was it decided that “Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun” would have a collaboration café?

Ookubo: The cue was that, while the café planning members were talking about what café to hold next, we were introduced to “Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun” as the most highly recommended title of our company.

Andou: There are a lot of young people in the staff of AniPara CAFÉ and most of them knew “Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun”, so by the time SquaEni-san talked to us about it, we gave them the one-sentence reply of, “By all means!” and asked them to let us do it. *laughs*

——This is the third time that “Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun” earns a collaboration café, so how were the fans’ reactions?

Imanishi: Since this is the third time, there were many reactions of concern about the very concept of “how will it turn out next?”. Thankfully, the responses were good and we received many warm messages such as “it was fun”!

——How was AidaIro-sensei’s reaction when it was decided that yet another collaboration café would be held?

Imanishi: They were very pleased. An event that the readers can enjoy is a rare opportunity, so they were hyped about many things, such as, “I wonder what we will do~!” and, “How about this?” (laughs).

——The theme of the collaboration café is a “ghost hotel” this time. How was it conceived?

Ookubo: This time’s theme was proposed by AidaIro-sensei.

Imanishi: In the first time, I think it is orthodox that the characters are made into café waiters, but since this is the third one, Sensei suggested that they felt like displaying them in yet another a different light, and that they wanted to make it so that both the people who would be attending for the first time and the people who had already attended before would be able to enjoy it in a brand-new way.

G Fantasy carries out a project of giving away color spreads as presents every year along with the commemorative issue of its launching, and the theme for the color spread of “Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun” on the 25th anniversary was “ghost hotel”. There was also the fact that the readers’ response to it was very positive, so Aida Iro-sensei decided, “Let’s go with a ghost hotel this time!”.

When it comes to “Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun”, you cannot miss out on ●●●!

——Did you get any menu or decoration suggestions from Sensei?

Ookubo: They granted us the base ideas of the menu and supervised the whole thing. They also chose the names of all the menu items. Writing “holy” in English was one of Sensei’s ideas. *laughs*

——The shop’s interior has a wonderful decoration perfectly fitting of a “ghost hotel”, with spider webs and mini characters hiding everywhere.

Andou: When we were thinking about how to reproduce the worldview depicted by AidaIro-sensei, we thought it was perfect... so we left it there (laughs)!

Ookubo: That spider web is amazing, isn’t it? The first time I looked at it, I thought it was a perfect fit for the café’s mood!

——The BGM that plays inside the shop is also a perfect fit for a “ghost hotel”.

Ookubo: We choose after listening to lots of tracks, so hearing that makes me happy! This time, Sensei gave us proper suggestions regarding the worldview, so the interior design parts were easy to picture.

Imanishi: There is a fun to it that is similar to riding on a horror attraction, even if you are inside a café. I think we were able to create this atmosphere exactly because its worldview is solid.

Ookubo: Also, since this is “Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun”, we would like everyone to check the toilets, by all means! I want people to see at least this with their own eyes.

——The toilet is a checkpoint that people cannot skip. The illustrations for the café were made by AidaIro-sensei this time too, but do the numbers written on the keys of each character have a meaning?

Imanishi: In this thematic setting, the employees (the characters) live and work in the ghost hotel. The numbers on the keys are the numbers of the rooms where the employees live, and they increase like 1, 2, 3... when you see them lined up in order, you will know who is whose neighbor and which of them are in the floors below or above. This is linked to the nature of the characters’ relationships, so please give it a check.

——Sensei did not just write the story but also story cards.

Imanishi: There might be people amongst the readers of G Fantasy who know about the 25th anniversary illustration, but I believe most of them will be seeing it for the first time. Since it could be difficult to understand what the story of this ghost hotel is and what the characters are doing, so we introduce them in the story cards and in-store PV. This method is easy even on people visiting for the first time, so we would like them to come hang out with friends here (laughs).

Aizawa: Quite a lot of the people who come to the shop are young, and on Sundays, it is not rare for families to fill up the seats. Amongst them, we have received a call from a father who had never been to a collaboration café before, telling us, “I want to make a reservation for my daughter; how do I do it?” and we have also been asked, “My daughter wants your goods; are they still not sold-out?”.

Andou: We have also been told, “I’ll save up my allowance to go there!”. Hearing things like these makes me think that it is great that we managed to implement a wonderful café, and I want people to enjoy it by any means.

“We crush the muffins to make them look like earth.” “The pot-au-feu is always chamfered.” – The secret stories behind the cooking of the collaboration menu are revealed!

——You have quite a quirky menu, with things such as the “GHOST HOTEL’S CAFÉ Afternoon Tea”, which comes with a written invitation to the Ghost Hotel; Hanako-kun’s favorite food, the “Hanako-kun Floaty Doughnuts”; the shinny “Mokke’s Delightful Candy Cake”, which is modeled after candies, Mokke’s stable food.

Andou: “Mokke’s Delightful Candy Cake” is quite a painstaking piece of work...! Of course, it is delicious, but I think being able to have fun taking pictures of cute food is a point that everyone looks forward to in a collaboration café, so we prepared a menu that everybody would be able to enjoy from their eyes too. When we were planning it out, we had about thirty suggestions for the menu in total, and from there, the team narrowed them down through discussions until the menu took the form it has now.

Nakayama: When it comes to Mokke, I think the image that comes to mind is of candies, do after a bit of devising, I came up with a cake that looks like candy. I am happy that, thankfully, the fans also had positive reactions to it!

——The “Edible Plots of Nene from the Gardening Club” shows quite a bit of uniqueness. Having a dessert inside a vase had a lot of impact.

Ookubo: The “Edible Plots of Nene from the Gardening Club” consists of muffins in flower vases, and the sight of the vases lined up in rows in the kitchen is quite surreal (laughs).

Shiratsuchi: We crushed chocolate muffins for them to look like earth and made them dirt-like. As a cook, I am also conflicted as to whether it tastes good to eat it like that, so while obsessing over the reproduction of its appearance, I break muffins into pieces every day, in order to combine them with a definite deliciousness.

——(Laughs) “Nene’s R•A•D•I•S•H Pot-au-Feu” is a warm and comforting dish, perfectly fitting for this time of the year.

Imanishi: This is actually the menu item that requires the most work out of the other collaboration foods.

Ookubo: The radish used in “Nene’s R•A•D•I•S•H Pot-au-Feu” is not a ready-made one that we warm up, and instead we cook the radish in the shop every day. On top of that, since the ingredients do not absorb the taste when cooked in the normal way, we chamfer (thinly scraping a vegetable so that it will take a round shape) the radishes one by one, so this is a menu item that takes up a lot of time. It costs 880¥, so when people ask, “Is this the quality of a collaboration café?”, I think it is in the good sense (laughs).

——My! The people who visit the shop should totally try this out, then.

Aizawa: We want them to! This desire is quite strong in us, but since it is a hassle to prepare that menu item, it would be a problem if too many people ordered it (laughs).

Shiratsuchi: While I was happy that everyone said, “It’s delicious~” during the sample food meeting, this item made me think, “I might’ve created something terrible (in a laborious sense)” (laughs).

All: (Laugh).

Ookubo: The cooking team really created the collaboration menu with a lot of passion. We make the crust for the “Clock-Keeper’s Tart ~with fruits~”, which is from the latter half of the menu, by hand every day in the shop. We fill it up with layers of berries, chocolate cream and wiped cream one after another... It gives us so much work that it could make people think, “Are you really serving this at a collaboration café?!”. I believe that even people who have only ever been to regular cafés and never to a collaboration one can also enjoy it.

Imanishi: The menu for the latter half of the collaboration has quirky and cute items, such as the “Mad-Risky Soup”, as in a “pretty dangerous” soup, and a limited number of the “Pipe Dream Cake”, so I think anyone can enjoy it, be it the people who visited during the first half or the people who are visiting for the first time during the latter half.

By the way, AidaIro-sensei’s top recommendation was “Kou’s Specialty Omelet Rice”! This rice omelet has caponata (boiling of fried eggplant) inside, so the flavor is unlike that of any other collaboration café. The fact that these secret gems exist is part of the wonderful levels of consideration from the cooks’ side.

——All the foods looked delicious, and every drink was wonderful too, so I was indecisive about which ones to order.

Ookubo: “Nene’s Welcome Cocktail” is also in the story that AidaIro-sensei posted on Twitter before the café’s opening. I recommend it as the first drink to the people who are visiting the collaboration café for the first time.

——By the way, are there any menu items that were rejected?

Nakayama: There was a legendary menu item named “Hanitarou Sandwich”, right?

Imanishi: There was! There is a character named Akane-kun who uses a haniwa as a protection charm, and I suggested a meal based on him – a “haniwa” coppe bread.

During the planning stages, I thought it was possible and tried reproducing it, but the cost turned out pretty high and its appearance was a haniwa through and through (laughs), so I wondered if anyone would order that... There was also the fact that Akane-kun is not much of a “haniwa stan”, so it became a legendary menu item (laughs).

Andou: I had suggested “Hanako-kun’s Doughnut” with the image of a school cap at first, but then the talk turned into, “Rather than a hat, I want it to have the appearance of a cute and tasty-looking doughnut”, so the cap version was rejected.

Ookubo: I also tried to produce a book-shaped cake, with the image of Tsuchigomori-sensei’s Four O’clock Library, but it seemed the price value would be too expensive, so it was unfortunately rejected.

——So there were menu items that were cast aside as “legendary” ones! This means you have created quite a number of items, but how do you come up with those ideas?

Nakayama: We were already collecting information from Instagram and Twitter and analyzing what the costumers were after. We deepened the conceptions from there to plan out the menu a lot.

Andou: Also, we think first-thing about what will be suitable for the costumers’ age range. In these occasions, rather than thinking about it as the menu of a collaboration café, we tried coming up with tasty-looking stuff as a regular food and drinks menu, and from that point, we created many things that drew close to the characters.

——It seems you were very conscious of the “showiness” of several menu items this time, so is “showiness” an indispensable element for your needs?

Andou: That’s right. Of course, the menu has to be delicious, but I think that, if it also turns out good for taking pictures, it will be posted on Instagram and Twitter, and become a cue for the fans to interact. The people who know the series will obviously do that, but I would be happy if this menu could become a trigger for even the people who don’t know it to talk about it, like, “That’s wonderful”, “What series is this?”.

Ookubo: We believe that the collaboration café’s menu is important for the original work’s side as well, so we take many requests, such as, “I want you to make this kind of dish” and, “I want to put this illustration card on it”, and the side that plans out the cooking does their best to give them form, so a wonderful menu is birthed every time, and as a result, it turns out as something that the fans can enjoy.

——It seems the people who will visit the store are quite young, so have you devised anything for the flavors?

Aizawa: We added a bit more variety to the taste of “Nene and Mokke’s Broccoli Gratin XD” during the planning stages, but we reviewed it in order to make it match the palate of young people better.

Ookubo: The “Mokke Curry”, which appears in the latter half of the event, was a green curry at first, but we changed it into a normal curry so that it would match the young ones’ tastes.

——On the topic of creating menu items that suit the customers’ age group, were there any difficulties or things you obsessed over?

Aizawa: The biggest hardship in making the menu of a collaboration café is the items’ appearance. Even if we deepen their image, we often worry about how to bring out their colors.

We repeatedly have conflicts such as, “I have to use this ingredient for bringing out this color, but this ingredient doesn’t fit this menu. Then how do I reproduce this coloration?” so it’s a relief when we eat the finished products and calm down with a, “It’s surprisingly good now that I’ve given it a try!” (laugh). Also, when we are feeling confident, the ideas soon flash into mind, but when we are in a slump, we get distressed.

Shiratsuchi: There was also a difference of views between the cooks’ side and the original creators’ side, so there were times when we thought, “We’ve made something really good!”, the original creators would say, “This won’t do!” (laughs). In regards to the menu, it is purely an insight race, so it made us happy when good flashes of inspiration took form and received approval.

——Anything from this menu that gave you an especially hard time?

Aizawa: As expected, that would be “Nene’s R•A•D•I•S•H Pot-au-Feu”, which we talked about earlier (laughs).

——Lastly, please leave a message for the readers.

Imanishi: New menu items will be added in the latter half, so I believe it has turned out as a café that people can enjoy no matter how many times they come. We want them to eat, drink and have fun. Also, the coasters that they can earn by ordering foods and drinks have wonderful designs, so I hope people will take them as a memory, by all means. I think you will definitely enjoy it, so please come over!

Aizawa: There are many attractive menu items, so do not forget your cameras!

——Thank you very much!

Hi, I came across your blog at work and was so excited to stumble across another who adores our best boy as much as I do. The stuff you put out is really really good.

Could we see something about married MC and True Saeran living in domestic bliss. Thank you 🌼

Thank you so much!! :D It makes me really happy to know people like my writing 😊❤ ABSOLUTELY, I live for domestic fluff with GE!Saeran ❤ He deserves so much love after everything he’s been through :’C

This takes place after the AE but it’s spoiler free!

After the events of the after ending, you pick out a house that’s small enough to be cozy but big enough for occasional company. It’s far enough from town that it’s hardly ever noisy, and your big yard gives you a nice cushion between you and your neighbors. 

If Saeyoung doesn’t straight up live with you two, he has a room at your house so he can stay over for as long as he wants! The poor twins deserve to make up for all that lost time.

With your big beautiful yard, of course, comes a big beautiful garden. If you have a favorite flower, he grows beds of them right by the windows so you can always see them when you look outside. There’s an area off to the side to grow herbs, vegetables and fruit.

The two of you set up a little patio area in the middle of the garden. When the weather is warm you eat outside surrounded by flowers and shrubbery. Saeran’s very proud of all his hard work, it’ll make him so happy if you compliment him on it~

He naturally gets up pretty early, so you usually wake up to the smell of breakfast cooking. When berries and fruits are in season he makes pancakes with the fruit from the garden.

There’s ALWAYS a jigsaw puzzle in progress in the house. After a few puzzles that were put together on the crammed dining table, you set up a dedicated puzzle table in the spare room. Saeyoung will always hide ONE single piece somewhere around the house to drive the two of you nuts.

When he goes out to the store he’ll always come back with gifts for you. Whether it’s flowers, chocolates or new clothes, if he sees something he thinks you’d like he can’t stop himself from getting it for you.

He loves picking out your outfits! He thinks you look wonderful in everything, though, so he always has a hard time choosing. He’ll also dress up in anything you’d like him to, please use that power responsibly~

He'll do literally any chore you don't like. He likes doing chores and cleaning. Seeing his work pay off in the end with a shiny floor or an organized bookshelf makes it worth the effort, especially if he’s taking some stress off of you by doing it!

He gets lost in his thoughts easily, so when you're not around he keeps himself busy. He'll spend the day cleaning or gardening or working on the puzzle, he’s always doing something. When you’re back in his arms his thoughts will calm down, and he can lie peacefully with you for hours. You're his anchor ♡

Please DO lie down with him for hours, otherwise he'll overwork himself without realizing it. He's unfortunately used to being exhausted all the time, so he doesn't always catch his body's signals that tell him to rest.

Here's some ways you can force your poor husband to relax, otherwise known as MC's Declassified Saeran Relaxation Guide:

Wrap yourself around his back like a koala and play a phone game with him over his shoulder. He likes puzzle games that you can work together to solve ♡

If you get him into Animal Crossing he’ll love it, he’ll spend hours decorating his village and planting flowers ALL over.

If it’s still light outside, hold his hand and take a walk somewhere. Even if it’s just around the yard, he can’t stay stressed after feeling the sun on his skin and watching the clouds roll by.

Get out the bubble bath and flower scented bath bombs, maybe light a few candles and put on some relaxing music. He can never resist a nice warm bath, especially if you’re there with him~

Hong Joong is a natural leader so he would try to plan and control everything including your daily routine. You know he normally wants you safe and sound but now that you’re in the sixth month and your bumb is becoming bigger he doesn’t really realize that the tasks are just too much for you.

Everyone in the town is super happy that you’re giving them a future leader or maybe a little princess. The pack members always want to talk to you or give you presents which made a normal shopping tour impossible by now. You can feel the pressure they’re inflicting on you and for gods sake just want some last months of peace but that won’t be possible with the alpha’s brilliant plan for you.

Today was also an enormous stressful day as all the grannies of your pack planned out a full five hour ceremony for you and the pup. You knew some things in Hong Joong‘s pack would be different but this made you feel uncomfortable like never before.

„Y/N?“ Hong Joong sees his mate crying in the living room your head held between your hands and sobs leaving you occasionally. „What’s wrong?“ He crouches down in front of you on the ground and takes your shaking hands away to see your glassy orbs and reddened cheeks.

„I- I cannot do this anymore...“

„What?“

„The ceremonies and gifts and talks and meetings and - it‘s just all too much!“

„Are you serious? I didn’t know... I mean the ahjummas told me you are just nervous. It’s traditional for the luna - “

„Joong! I am crying in front of you and pleading for some peace and everything you can think about is the pack and your stupid traditions! I am not nervous I just don’t want to stand naked in front of some old ladies who are telling me how to raise our baby!“

The alpha‘s eyes turn into a rich golden color and you can see that his wolf is coming to the surface at your little outburst. An alpha usually doesn’t take any shit but you’re his luna and you are indeed able to stand your point in front of him (also the naked part seems odd to him, too). Hong Joong sighs and takes your hands into his ones.

„I didn’t know it was so stressful for you and our pup. I just wanted to follow the traditions of my pack and forgot about your feelings and well-being entirely... I am really sorry my beautiful mate.“

The alpha takes you into his arms and gives you a kiss full of love. „From now on you can decide for yourself what you want to do and I will try to become a better mate. Our pack loves you, they will understand.“

„Thank you, Hong Joong“

Park Seong Hwa was a calm and loving mate. He always dreamed of a family with his beloved one and a pup. When the doctor said you were going to get twins he was lost. Your tummy became so big he always feared it would hurt you in some way but you assured him it was fine.

As Seong Hwa had a reputable family background and Y/N not really you slowly became aware of the possessive behavior of his family. Seong Hwa, too, had something slight arrogant to himself but you could handle it. The gatherings at his on the other site turned into a slight inconvenient time for you.

„A boy and a girl! I am so proud of you!“ His aunt said excited.

„Yes, at least one boy.“ Of course, you already expected Seong Hwa‘s parents to want an heir for their prestigious estate but now you feared for your little girl. Growing up in a family where only your son is loved his grandparents was something you wouldn’t want for your daughter.

Your patience was soon at it‘s limit when he and his family continued praising your boy and almost forgetting about the other pup that was in your tummy.

„I am so proud of Y/N! We are going to have the best boy in the world and - “

„Park Seong Hwa, we need to talk.“ You stood up and everyone went silent when you dragged your mate outside into the garden.

„I know you only want to impress you parents but what do you think is our daughter going to feel as soon as she‘s sitting with us at the table if you continue only talking about our son?“

„I - I didn’t consider that.“

„Why can’t you be happy about our babygirl like you’re when we’re alone? I am a girl, too. We’re not any less than boys.“

„Y/N, you know I would never think like that.“

„But your family does. They only see me as the one who gives you heirs.“

„I think it would be better if you go home.“

„Seriously? You know what, I am really going home. Home as in my parents house. You should start realizing that I am the mother and I won‘t allow you and your family to hurt my family in any way!“

Your and Yun Ho‘s relationship wasn’t easy at all. You being the princess and him one of the rogue leaders made it hard for you to live your romance freely. You often wanted to tell your parents but seeing them fighting the rogues more and more stopped you from your plan. You wanted peace, just like your mate, too.

To end the war between the wolves and rogues meant a mind change and you felt like the moon goddess picked the two of you on purpose. Maybe it was your destiny?

When you met Yun Ho that day to tell him the news about the pup you were having he suddenly changed into his wolf out of excitement and happiness which caused tears out of joy into your eyes.

By now it was inevitable to not tell your parents about your mate. It was the right time and you didn’t tell Yun Ho something about your decision because you trusted the king and the queen.

It was a fatal mistake to believe that - your mother only cried when the king screamed and trashed around and like an insane person he ordered the guards to bring you into a prison and lock you away from the rogue leader until he killed him. What was worse, they planned you to abort the pup and marry you off to another wolf.

Yun Ho soon found out about everything and nearly collapsed at thought of not only you being in danger but their baby, too. He gathered as much pack members as possible and made his way to your estate.

„I am warning you one last time King Y/L/N! You’re going to give me back my mate or I will burn down everything here!“

„Your mate? She’s my daughter and the princess! My blood would never interact with your kind and this scum that is growing inside her is going to die like you!“ That was enough to start the attack leaving Yun Ho taking some of the wolves with him to find you down in the basement.

He once saw you like this before and it nearly breaks his heart only this time it’s worse. You lay on the ground unconscious and beaten when he picks you up and flees out of your kingdom.

„Don’t worry my love. I promise no one’s going to lay a hand on you ever again!“

„Mh, mine.“ Yeo Sang stood behind you his nose deeply nuzzled into your neck and his arms holding you and your tummy.

„Who?“ You feel him smirk and are sure of it when he raises his head and bites your earlobe a little bit.

„Both.“

Today you were having a big dinner with some of the other alphas and their families again. There was one big long table where everyone sat down and as you and Yeo Sang were mates your families now sit together.

You already had a bad feeling this morning knowing your ex would be there, too, seeing your mate being extremely overprotective since you’re pregnant.

You went to the restroom and when hen you wanted to get back to the others someone stopped you holding your wrist.

„Long time no see. The pregnancy suits you, Y/N.“

„Jong Su.“

You turned around and gave him a shy smile. How everything turned out a few months ago wasn’t in your interest, too. Before you can say anything he nears you and lays his hand on your belly making you slightly uncomfortable.

„That should’ve been mine. This bastard really didn’t wait long to shoot his dna into your dirty little cunt, right?“

„Jong S - “ Suddenly Yeo Sang grabbed the boy‘s hand and smashed it into the wall next to you leaving the boy crying and rolling on to the ground holding his hand.

„You better not touch what’s not yours! I thought I taught you last time?! I swear if I see you in her vicinity one more time I fucking break your neck!“ With that Yeo Sang took your hand carefully and guided you to one of the balconies of the mansion.

„Yeo Sang, I am sorry...“

„Why are you sorry? I love you Y/N and he has no right to talk to you or about you like that!“

There was nothing better for him than seeing his mate with her little tummy standing in the kitchen and baking the cake for a garden party with their friends. San sneaked up behind you and before you could stop him he already stole a berry from your topping.

„Choi San! Hands off!“ You clapped his hand away and laughed out loud when he took a berries and ran away from you.

„Mooowwwrry.“ You stood behind the couch whereas he was in front of you on the other site smirking at you while he choked down the rest.

You lunged forward and luckily he caught you with open arms causing the two of you to land on the couch. He layed on top of you holding him up with one arm and in the other hand still some berries.

„Be careful my love! You cannot be so wild with our pup inside you!“

„Ah, now you’re acting concerned? What’s with my cake, hm?“

„Sshh... - “ He pops one of the red fruits into your mouth and grins at you. When you were about to shove him off you he held your wrist still and smashed his lips onto yours.

„I love you so much.“

You could say Min Gi was a little bit overwhelmed with the situation first but fascinated at the same time. You still remember how he asked you how this could happen and you started to explain the intercourse to him leaving the two of you laughing the whole evening.

When he first bought the most ridiculous things like clothes for two genders and 50 packs of diapers he was now doing pretty good. Min Gi calmed down a little bit and started to read books and asked friends for advise. By now you probably didn’t even need to take care about anything because he planned out every detail.

Min Gi and you got closer while exploring the forests in your wolf form. His wolf went crazy everytime he saw your grown stomach - a typical natural instinct of possessiveness. Sometimes he got so excited he nearly climbed you on your trips. He had such a huge wolf so you were afraid that some day he would accidentally crush you.

„Be careful!“

„Ah, I am sorry... I cannot control myself. I think heat‘s coming.“ His wolf let out small whines while he let himself bump on the ground.

„Aish, Min Gi... Please don’t be sad. I didn’t mean it like that and I only think it’s not a very good idea to do it in our wolf forms right now.“

„You mean, human would be ok?“

You cuddled yourself into his side and licked his ears. Suddenly he jumped up and began to heckle like a maniac.

„Then let‘s go home so I can have some fun with you.“

Although Woo Young was the wolf prince and his daily life was often spent with office work and meetings he was quite childish when being alone with you. That doesn’t mean that he’s not mature enough but he likes to make people happy and is a friend of positivity.

Oh, and you always knew when he got home because of the sentence: „WHERE ARE MY BABIES?“

Woo Young also resembled the perfect father in your eyes - every evening when the two of you sat down on the couch and watched a movie he told you about all his future goals and what he wants to do with your little son when he’s finally there.

He also helped you a lot when your stomach grew bigger and bigger and took care of the house duties when it became too hard for you.

Maybe the sweetest part of the pregnancy was how Woo Young liked to talk with your tummy. He used every chance to lay his ears on it and feel the little kicks of your pup. His eyes grew bigger every time something happened and he looked so fascinated.

After the tough time the two of you had your mate was able to make you trust him and give you the love and family you never had. All the hate was gone and replaced with harmony and safety.

„Y/N?“

„Oh god, no ‚Where are my babies?‘ today?“ You chuckled at him while planting the roses in your garden. When Woo Young didn’t respond you got up and watched him smirking at you mischievously.

„Just you wait. Someday you’re going to say it, too!“

„My prince stop being a nuisance and help a pregnant girl.“ Your mate grabbed you by your waist and turned you around so your faces were only centimeters apart.

„You’re not some pregnant girl. You’re my pregnant princess and like I said, we‘re meant for eachother and it shows.“

„You’re kidding me.“

„No, you can see it here.“

„Yeah, more like I can see nothing.“

Jong Ho was totally overwhelmed with having a girl instead of a strong wolf boy. He didn’t even consider it beforehand and now reality crashes down on him. A girl? He’s pretty much busy with protecting his mate and now he has to protect two females?

At home Jong Ho enters after you leaving the keys on the side table and watches how you clap your hands and jump a little bit.

„Isn’t this great? The baby is healthy for now and it’s going to be a little girl! We can chose names if you want I already have some ide - “

„You’re really happy?“

„Choi Jong Ho, I know that voice you’re using. What’s wrong?“

„Y/N, you know me. I know there are many other boys like me outside and I am afraid of having a daughter! I don’t want her to meet a copy of myself and that sounds very wrong but I hope you know what I mean...“

„Jong Ho... First you’re not that bad - I mean, you were a big playboy before you met me but, the point is, you changed.“

„Yes, after I met you. When is she meeting her mate? She’s going to make mistakes. She will meet some asshole who breaks her heart before he comes.“

„Well, I wouldn’t say that you were pretty nice to me before my birthday but that doesn’t matter anymore. And don’t believe you are the only guy, I had my experiences and they make us stronger. It’s okay, that’s life. Why don’t you use your fear to turn her into a strong and confident girl?“

„You think I am able to?“
