idk why but you reblogging that ask u did about Peppino performing for Brick reminded me, and I just NEEDED to share this silly idea but... Peppino gardening... just, like, garlic and tomato plants n stuff, it's cheaper than buying all the time, even if he's not exactly growing enough to make that much of a dent in his bills, it's about the PROCESS PEOPLE and just aekssf Peppino in his little garden tending to his little plants and some flowers, it started out as something to help with personal costs but now it's such a soothing activity it's his little zone and he tells no one about it and making a pizza with his own home grown tomatoes just hits different when he's in a real rough mood. just yeah peppino gardening...
WAUGH this is so cute omg…I cant see him growing TOO MUCH bc some veggies are so fucking delicate but garlic seems doable! Same with stuff like basil and thyme and oregano. Its not necessarily low maintenance but you dont need to constantly get expensive resources to maintain them. Maybe he uses SOME of it for his shop but i can definitely see him using most of it for his own cooking bc hes been doing it since he was young, way back when he was still living w his parents (and he just got the habit from them)
I hc him with a small house (that hes forced to use as collateral to keep the shop open) so like, he would definitely have the space to grow some other small veggies like spinach n tomatoes. With his shop failing miserably hes got Plenty of time to at least go out and make sure theyre not dying 😭 But i can see him making it look more lively postgame when hes got the proper funds to keep the shop open. Old man tending to his tiny little garden :) its mindless work really and it keeps his hands busy. When hes more used to Gus and Brick (and any company in general lbr) coming over to visit; Brick helps with gardening too; his hugeass Rat Hands can tear up at the soil way better than Peppino and his little trowel can. And w the shop doing well he can afford to take days off and even open later in the day so he has more time to himself to do other things (like tend to his tiny garden) (or maybe fucking sleep in for once)

Do you think that Terry has kept anything from his military days? A uniform, weapon, any kind of trinket? Or would he want to get rid of it all? Does it change over time across the KK3/CK Terry eras?
---
Think he kept it all.
I mean, look at this guy. Really look at him.☝️
Does this seem like a guy who wouldn't? C'mon, now.
Uniform, the weapon he used in his service, whatever medals he won, if he won any; the very combat boots he wore, if at all possible. Photographs, trinkets, dogtags, newspaper clippings, souvenirs, memories of exclusively sentimental value. He preserved it all. Because, contrary to popular belief, I don't think Terry Silver ever felt ashamed of his military service, in fact, in the 80's, man seems downright proud of it, saluting in public and he doing it with all the gusto in the whole wide world: man's as patriotic as they come (possibly to worrying and maybe even toxic degrees, because I doubt there's anything Terry can do mildly). I simply think that in his older age he was wise enough to know not everyone would react favorably to him saying he served, least of all, in Vietnam of all places, one of the more controversial wars the US ever fought to date. No pats on the back would be given for that and Terry is clever enough to be able to read the figurative room and the sensibilities of the era, as he goes ahead and adapts to them, flying under the radar, keeping the nitty-gritty aspects of himself neatly tucked away because I feel he understands only a fool goes around being wholly transparent. He is a shrewd businessman, after all. He knows what to reveal and what not to reveal, or at least, what not to highlight and what not to. It was a subject so personal and hidden in plain sight one almost gets the impression it's publicly known he served, but outside of John Kreese and ironically, while manipulating Mr. Miyagi, another veteran, it is never really mentioned, discussed, brought up or talked of by Terry to anyone else in too many details because he possibly didn't want the most important, formative, meaningful and traumatizing years of his life even talked of by unworthy mouths who wouldn't understand what the heck he's talking about and it's inherent gravitas, and if they did, doubt he could guarantee containing himself.
After all, who would?
Would anyone talk about such a meaningful event casually?
Can it be talked about casually?
Like, do we really think Terry Silver would be here talking about his years in the war in front of, oh, I don't know, Emile and Cheyenne over brunch at a garden party, for example? His time as POW and everything that went down out there in the jungle? Lets be real for a moment. Of course Terry would be deliberately vague and brush it off like 'there's not much to say' because these aren't the type of people you can talk about anything more serious and impactful than the next round of Mimosas. Know your audience. Know the audience's limits. Naturally, whatever keepsakes he brought back from the war were and remained hidden too --- his and exclusively for him. All throughout the many decades. His own personal museum.
But, I do believe he's brought back a ton of things; and not just his own.
I'm prone to imagine Terry Silver owns a whole shrine, in fact.
If it was at all conceivable for him to retrieve anything of Ponytail's, trust and believe he's in possession of that too, because if he could take the man's hair and the man's mannerisms, usurping them like a virtual facestealer, he could collect his posthumous belongings as well --- uniform, personal items, letters from home, journals, records, magazines and whatever else his friend had with him seeing as how he fashioned himself into his friend's mirror image, a walking doppelganger, a walking, talking grave, so why not have his things too? His stuff? It's only right he should have them. Be their keeper, guardian and owner. Halfway usurping him and his very personhood, halfway paying homage to him.
Stolen valor galore.
A stolen life too.
What if he owns something of Captain Turner's too? Now, there's a freaky thought.
Or enemy personnel he's encountered and terminated out on the field or in combat, because, regardless how boyish, skinny and doe eyed he was while he was Twig, I have no doubt in mind he killed, at least someone. Is it even possible to survive the Vietnam war as a soldier without taking lives? Don't doubt he collected trophies too. Someone's molar, for all we know, because the rabbit hole, oh, it can go very deep and it can go very dark indeed. I like to think that's exactly why Terry was giving such a gleeful, near enviously hateful glare when faced with Mr. Miyagi's medal, almost as if he was thinking 'Why not me?' right before he pocketed that too and added it to his excessive collection of army memorabilia.
Perhaps, indulging in some hero worship and giving it to John instead.
Feeling John deserves it more. That John deserves all the accolades in the world.
Regardless, I am convinced Terry Silver owns a virtual treasure trove of army stuff and has for decades --- both his own and those pertaining to other people, because it simply makes sense for his character to be in possession of such a thing. This is a hill I'll die on; this is a stash so private and concealed it might as well not exist, shrouded like the ultimate vulnerability, perhaps even from himself at times. For all anyone could be concerned, he did dispose of everything a long time ago, but I don't think he's a man who ever disposes of anything meaningful to him in any way --- a man who can't let go of grudges, creeds, rivalries, promises, oaths and friendships for half a century isn't likely to let go of a uniform he fought in either.

which male idol in your opinion has the best style? if we exclude stylists’s outfits and group appearances. Also who do you think dresses up? Like maybe wearing clothes that are not them just bc it’s the trend. would love to read your opinion on that xx
oh dawn, 100%. he has some of the best understanding of fashion and specfically how to use silhouette and statement pieces. key obviously, also. all the guys in a.c.e are pretty well dressed but particularly sehyoon and donghun (whom i think dress the others actually lol)! both of them play around a lot with silhouette also, and sehyoon in particular loves accessories and will pull some insane combos that i am obsessed with:
(that's his mom's watch in the second one btw)
suho also has really great taste, his instagram now that he's come back is just a parade of nice clothes. tbh it can be kind of hard to tell when idols are dressing themselves and when it's a stylist, especially just from pictures, if you don't know what event it is/have the context of what they were doing at the time. and added onto that, a lot of the items in idols wardrobes are gifts, either from sponsorships or fans etc, so in terms of 'people that wear clothes that they wouldn't normally', well that's just most idols lmao. you do also run into the phenomenon of guys with good pieces in their wardrobes but don't seem to be all that versed in fashion (minho, junhee), and this comes down to a grey area where a lot of guys just do not know how to dress. that doesn't necessarily mean that they aren't interested in dressing well, it just means that it's not something that they have much experience in and they don't know how to go about asking. so often they end up with those good pieces bc a stylist puts it on them/gives them advice and they either take it home or find something similar to it, which puts them in a kind of a limbo spot in this particular ranking system; they would not have known about or gone out and bought that item if the stylist had not shown it to them, but it also doesn't mean that they're 'dressing up' bc it's something that they do like. you can see minho talk about this in his devil wears jungnam episode actually!
