strawberries
Tumblr media
mammon hears you're missing something from the human world. so, he decides to fetch it for you.
content + warnings: just some cute (implied) x reader, can be read as platonic, normal mammon tsundere shenanigans, fluff
word count: 952
[longer oc version coming soon?]
Tumblr media
mammon doesn't particularly think he's a nosy person. if you're having a conversation within earshot, then surely you're comfortable with someone nearby listening in. and when it comes to matters involving you-- well, surely your first man deserves to know more about you than anyone else, right?
while casually "passing by" (and definitely not stopping outside the door to the kitchen to listen in when he hears your voice get all soft and sentimental), mammon hears you talking to beel. you're talking about something you used to eat as a kid, laughing as you share how you used to make yourself sick on summer nights eating your fill. you paint a picture with your words of yourself several decades previous, with sweet red juice dripping down your chin, leafy tops discarded in the yard as you played long into the sunset. beel eventually has to ask you to stop-- he's actively eating his own meal, but your descriptions are so colorful that his stomach howls with want anyways.
mammon's lost in thought by the time he wanders off. what were these splendorous fruits you spoke so highly of? did they have a devildom equivalent? he didn't even catch its name...
part of him wants to grab these magical fruits and use them to turn a profit. since the exchange program had been initially proposed, a small but growing faction of demons had become obsessed with anything relating to the human realm. food, clothes, entertainment, etc-- all of it was heralded as exciting and mystifying. but the other part of him wants to see if you really liked them as much as you said. he wants to hear the stories directly from you, not overheard in the hallway, on how much you loved these little fruits.
a plan begins to form in his head. he'd be flying by the seat of his pants, but...
Tumblr media
"they're a summer-y red human fruit. y'know, with the juice that gets all over ya?"
two teenage employees stare at mammon, trying to understand what the hell he's describing. he's speaking cryptically, like he doesn't even know what he's looking for.
"sir, can you be more specific?" the employee with flaming red hair asks.
"you said a summer fruit?" the other employee, an older blonde girl, asks. "like, maybe... watermelon chunks?"
"I don't know, maybe?" mammon's face is just as befuddled as before.
"here," the ginger proposes. "how about we go get some samples and have him taste everything? maybe he'll be able to figure it out then."
mammon is left standing alone as the young girls dart off towards another market stall, whispering and plotting as they scurry together. he feels like an idiot, truly. damn you. damn you and your pretty words, your smile, the way you make him feel so in love with you that he's willing to brave a human world market by himself on a busy sunday just to make you happy. his cheeks feel warm just thinking about it.
the girls return as quick at they left, a little basket of fruit donated by some nearby stalls to help the poor confused man nearby find fruit for his beloved (a bit dramatic of a marketing pitch-- but they're not exactly wrong). they eagerly beckon him to try all of what they brought. after all, helping someone is much more interesting than, say, doing the more boring tasks in their job description.
watermelon are nice, but the moment he see the actual size of the whole fruit, he knows he's got the wrong one. cherries are too tart. he can't imagine you gleefully popping them into mouth as a child without choking and dying on a pit (humans are so fragile). raspberries are close, but he isn't quite convinced...
then he sees them pull out a fruit with the leafy green top-- if only he'd remembered that earlier-- and he knows he's found what he needed.
"what are these called?" he asks.
Tumblr media
"strawberries?"
there's a sense of awe in your voice as you look down at the little container. your favorite childhood snack is staring back at you, and they look just as wonderful as ever. mammon's face is red as he shrugs noncommittally.
"yeah, well, whatever. those lousy witches gave 'em to me while i was up in the human realm. i figured you'd know what to do with 'em."
he's lying. you could tell he would before he even opened his mouth, but you don't mind. the berries are vibrant and pretty under the kitchen lights.
"would you like to share them with me?"
"huh?"
his confusion only makes you laugh. you take your time washing them off, telling him the stories of how much you loved eating strawberries and running around your back yard at night. you have a feeling he knows these already. but he listens intently, arms crossed as he leans back against the counter and watches you, sprinkling in some commentary now and again about how human children are strange. there's a soft look on his face as he watches you work.
finally, you back to the counter and sprinkle a light dusting of sugar on the strawberry, then hold it up for him to try. his fingers brush against yours, but you make a noise and open your mouth-- you want him to do the same. he gets red again, eyes darting around for a good several moments, before hesitantly leaning in to take a bite.
a dribble of juice trails from the corner of his lips. you smile, chest warm, and thank him for caring so much about you. his sheepish smile only makes the strawberry taste that much sweeter as you take a bite yourself.

hi kei! idk if you remember me but i'm your handholding anon from months ago <3
what lip balm flavor do you think seungmin uses? 🥺 imagine him putting on lip balm before snuggling next to you in bed, the sweet scent making you stare way too long at his pretty pouty lips. he knows you're resisting the urge to kiss him right then and there, but he teases you anyway by pressing his forehead against yours. "jagi, you're so cute but it's just lip balm," he laughs.
— it’s just lip balm, ksm.
Tumblr media Tumblr media

pairing: boyfriend!seungmin x gn!reader genre: fluff warnings: kissing, not proofread. word count: 996 notes: hello, i hope you’re having a great day! please reblog, leave your feedbacks and put tags alright? don't let it flop! thank you very much love ♡
Tumblr media
weekend. 
seungmin’s favorite part of the week finally arrived. it’s always the best part of his life when he could lay and take his day off, be lazy and eat his comfort food. read and watch dramas like he always does. he just got home that friday night and went to take a shower where he finds you on your shared bed, reading the book he gave you from your birthday last year. all set with pajamas and night lights. the sound of the bathroom’s sliding door opened, followed by his footsteps, then the door closed again. seungmin ruffled his hair to dry with a small towel to prevent water droplets from soaking his favorite mahagrid t-shirt. a smile tugged on his face when he got out of the bathroom. 
“enjoying the book so much?” he asked, teasing you about it. a chuckle escaped your lips as your eyes landed on him, immersed in how fluffy he looked in his pajamas with his hair getting dry. “it’s your 5th read,” 
“you can’t blame me,” you defended. “i love it so much,” 
seungmin let out a giggle before he leaned forward and kissed your forehead and proceeded to do his nightly routine. you share a vanity mirror with your favorite products aligned neatly on the flat surface. it’s a common sight every night on his day off as he ended up cuddling you after he’s done. your boyfriend misses you oftentimes when he can’t go home during his hectic schedule but he tries to give time to call or text you whenever he gets a break in between. nevertheless, you were always busy too, especially when you were in your last semester in college. but your clinginess to each other never fails to miss any time just to talk and ask how you were doing. 
he sat down as he looked at himself in the mirror doing his skincare which you always find cute. you didn’t know why but he’s the type to be all clean and comfortable before going to bed. his sweet scent helps you sleep at night and his soothing voice sounds like a lullaby, he could invite you into a pillow fight or just talk about random things until 2 am. bedtime seungmin is one of your favorite seungmin. but he promised you’d sleep together a little early after an exhausting day. 
you closed the book, setting it aside for the night as you watched him doing his finishing touch. that rosehip oil lip balm of his. you never tried that flavor before because of your consistent use of cherry or the original one of the brand. 
“you’re no fun, y/n,” he’d say and you just have to roll your eyes at his statement. but rosehip oil had you hooked. you knew he’s been using it for a while now but you don’t care. yet watching him apply that roseate wax with a curios scent made you wonder what it tastes like, especially when it’s coated all over his lips. 
“is it sweet?” you asked. 
“you want to try?” he asked, not breaking his eye contact with himself in your vanity mirror. 
“can i?” you beamed, but instead of handing you the small object, seungmin being seungmin leaned forward to kiss you. a smirk formed on his lips, a sign of triumph when he leaned away, leaving you a blushing mess. “you’re a teasing maniac, are you?” 
“at least you get to try it specially,” he said, winking at you while giggling. “relax babe, it’s just lip balm,” 
“pssh,” you hissed at him. 
“how was it?” he said, still plastering that annoying smirk on his face. 
“good,” you said. “the lip product, i mean,” you added back as he sighs in disbelief. 
“how about my lips then?” he pouted like a baby. 
“i don’t know for sure,” you said, letting out an evil chuckle as seungmin started to pout his lips even more. 
“here, kiss it,” he said, pointing his lips. 
“no,” you retorted playfully when he tried to shorten the gap between you two as he make kissing sounds. 
“one kiss!” he laughed in between. “y/n!” 
“no, back off!” you said, pushing him away but seungmin is persistent with the kiss and it is always a way to tease you because he knew that you won’t be able to resist it even if you try to avoid it. 
“my lips are waiting,” he said. 
“one kiss?” you asked as he took the same lip product again to apply. 
“just one,” he reassured. “unless you beg for more?” he added licking his lips while wiggling his brows and that’s when you burst out laughing for making a reference. 
“i love you so much,” you said in between your laughs and seungmin was proud of his sense of humor. “not just one okay?” you smiled. 
“y/n, babe, i know you can’t just have one,” he said as you rolled your eyes in response before kissing him again. 
his lips were hot as you tasted the flavored lip balm. it was bitter indeed but the sweet scent of it made it more addicting and having it on your boyfriend’s lips had it intoxicating. seungmin knows you are a sucker for his kisses and melt over it. that is one thing that you always miss when he’s not around, the thing you would always look forward to when he gets home and the thing that you always want the most when you two are alone. how can he blame you when you told him he is a good kisser? 
“you’re so cute,” he said, breaking the kiss pressing his forehead against yours. 
“and you’re annoying,” you chuckled. “in a good way of course,” you smiled. “i love you, seungmin,” 
“i love you too jagi,” he said, giving you a quick kiss before taking you inside his arms and cuddled yourselves to sleep. you can’t wait to spend your weekend with him all alone.

Remember that reddit post about the guy who keeps getting into fights with the cook at waffle house? Ok that but joecherry, as witnessed by respective apprentices Langa and Reki
Reki likes Sia la Luce. It's pretty fancy, but he has to wear a kimono during his apprenticeship anyway so he never sticks out too badly. The food is really good--he never had Italian before he started coming here--the employees are all nice people, and the atmosphere is usually pleasant. Usually. The only exception being...
"You must have lost whatever smidgen of skill you had to your oversized muscles!"
"Clearly your tastebuds need to be checked as much as your eyes, damn four-eyes!"
Reki chews slowly on his pasta as his teacher and the head chef Nanjou argue over the counter. Again. Like they do every time they eat here. There's never anything wrong with the food in his opinion, but Cherry--Kaoru-sensei in public, he's reminded him countless times--always seems to have some problem. He can't tell if this is bad flirting or what. Mostly, it's just kind of weird and disruptive.
One of the junior chefs, Langa, slides into the seat across from him, also glancing at the fight. "Um, your food isn't that bad... right?" he asks hesitantly.
Reki shakes his head wildly. "No, the food's great! Awesome, even!"
Langa sighs with relief. "I made your meal today, so thank you. I'm glad you like it."
Reki nearly chokes on his next bite, but manages to swallow it down, hopefully without being too obvious about it. It shouldn't be a big thing. Of course one of the chefs would have made his food; it doesn't have to be the head chef. But Reki has had a crush on Langa ever since he saw him the first time Cherry took him here and he can't help getting his hopes up that maybe this means something. Maybe. Possibly.
The food suddenly tastes a whole lot better now. How about that?
"Y-you're a really good cook, Langa!" Reki stammers. "Thanks for the meal!"
Before Langa can say anything else, the argument kicks up a bit and there's a choking sound. When Reki looks to the side, Cherry is trying to strangle Nanjou with the collar of his tight shirt. A few patrons actually look over this time and in the blink of an eye, they've fixed their appearance as though nothing happened.
"Man," says Reki, "they have way too much practice with that."
Langa nods. "Mm. They're childhood friends, so it makes sense."
"They're what?!"
Langa tilts his head at him. "Sakurayashiki-san hasn't told you? They grew up together."
Cherry did not tell him this. Any time he tried to ask about why they keep coming here Cherry just gave him a scary look and said Oh so you don't want me to pay for your lunch anymore? Reki values his life, wallet, and future prospects, so he stopped pestering. Eventually.
"You know, that makes sense," he says thoughtfully. "Ch--Kaoru-sensei wouldn't just fight with anyone." With no one looking at them, except for Reki and Langa, Cherry and Nanjou have gone back to their hissed argument. It's starting to look a lot more like weird flirting now. He kind of doesn't want to keep watching anymore.
Reki looks back at Langa. "Hey wait, what are you doing out here anyway? I thought you weren't allowed to be a server."
"Nanjou-san said it's okay if it's you. I'm 'better at smiling' when I'm with you." As though to prove his boss's point, Langa smiles.
Reki ducks his head, hiding his own smile behind his food.
(By the counter, the argument continues:
"Now look what you've done! Your employee is slacking to flirt with my apprentice!"
"How is that my fault? Is your AI heart too mechanical to appreciate young love?"
"Not when they're on the clock!"
"And what do you think we're doing right now?")

𝚗𝚘𝚝𝚎𝚜 there are so many könig x pregnant reader drafts in my docs lmk if you want like a mini series
𝚠𝚊𝚛𝚗𝚒𝚗𝚐𝚜 könig x pregnant reader, morning sickness but no actual vomiting, established relationship, semi-gross food combos
𝚜𝚞𝚖𝚖𝚊𝚛𝚢 you take down your giant husband with your pregnancy meals
When König walked through the door, his nose rosy from the cold weather, he immediately scanned the home for signs of you. His twelve week pregnant wife.
He heard the television crackling from the living room, playing one of those old movies you liked to watch with those old hollywood accents he couldn’t quite understand.
“What are you doing, meine liebe?” He asked in the sweetest tone, leaning on the wooden door frame behind where you sat on the couch. When he approached you, he saw the half empty bowl sitting in front of you on the coffee table, and he grimaced.
“Having a snack.” You responded idly, focusing on the movie.
Sure, König was used to pretty bland, not so great food. And he was a tough guy, built to withstand the worst conditions. But when he saw the unique combination you’d decided on for the night he nearly started sweating.
“Well,” you started excitedly. “This is bowtie pasta with vegenaise and ranch seasoning, oh! Grape tomatoes, too.”
Regular mayonnaise was a big no, as you’d discovered early into your pregnancy when König had made you a sandwich that had instantly made you puke your guts out.
“And these are pickled jalapeños, and those are just maraschino cherries. Wanna bite?” You asked him with a precious little hopeful glint in your eyes, and he couldn’t refuse. It was his sperm making you eat like that, anyways.
“Okay,” he agreed hesitantly with a nervous smile. Maybe it would taste better than it looked.
He rounded the couch and took a seat next to you, taking the bowl from your slightly outstretched hands. He shoved a heaping spoonful into his mouth, not really thinking too much about it.
His eyes watered as he opened his mouth to lie to you and tell you it was delicious and ask how you came up with such a thing. And he shook his head, trying to dispel the flavors from his tongue.
He was running to the sink before you could even blink, spitting the bite out into it and running the faucet over his mouth.
“König, honey I’m sorry.” You couldn’t help the giggle that caught in your throat as you rubbed your hand consolingly over his back. “You didn’t have to try it!”
“I thought maybe it would taste better than it looked!” He grunted in defense, bracing his elbows on the edge of the counter. He looked comically large hunched over the kitchen sink with spit running down his chin.
He stood, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand and taking a deep, shuddery breath.
“I am just happy you are eating.”
And he really was. You’d been having such a tough time with morning sickness that he was just thrilled you could eat better again.
“Can I make it up to you? I’ll make anything you want for dinner. Just name it and I’ll run to the store—”
He herded you back to the couch with a shake of his head.
“You must rest now, meine liebe.”

*cough* aNYwAy!
Sam headcanons 🤠
As mentioned before, he was gifted a frog Build A Bear by one of the Shaw Pack mates. It’s name is Sammy and he has a little cowboy hat.
He has one (1) cowboy hat but he never wears it. He only has it because Vincent gifted it to him for some reason when they were first getting to know each other.
Before Darlin’ came into the picture, he had a pet dog.
He hates doing his weekly drink of blood because he thinks it’s gross so he has a little “fun” with it and uses a shot glass instead of drinking it from a bag.
Although vampires don’t need actual food to survive, he still has meals with Darlin’ so they don’t feel lonely or so that he makes sure they’re eating properly. He also just really likes the taste of his own cooking.
He’s very “traditional” when it comes to relationships. Like, when he met Darlin’, he felt the need to meet their family. Obviously we don’t really know much about Darlin’ family so the Shaw Pack was the next best thing.
His cabin doesn’t feel as southern as his vibes set out to be. Darlin’ was really surprised to see the lack of taxidermy and animal skulls hung up on his wall.
Addition to home decor, he has a lot of fake plants because this man has no idea how tf to keep a plant alive to save his life, but he wants his home to feel alive in a way.
He doesn’t own a lot of sweaters, but he does have a SH*T ton of flannels. Like a very very concerning amount of them.
I could be wrong but I think I remember seeing on the timeline that Sam didn’t have a good home life growing up. When he left, he did take a photo of his family because he genuinely does miss them in a way, but would never come to visit (nor could he because he’s a vampire and all that).
When him and Darlin’ moved in together, he thought about getting a dog, but when Darlin’s wolf fur started getting everywhere, he decided to pass on it.
He’s deathly afraid of chickens.
He’s thought about wanting kids but after having to take care of Darlin’, he doesn’t feel the need to anymore lmao.
He has a picture of his first party (whatever the vampire party was called) with the clan. He absolutely hates seeing himself in a suit, but Darlin’ loves it and thinks he looks “very pretty”, in their words.
He sleeps on his stomach. Whenever he wakes up, he’s always super sprawled out, the blanket isn’t even on him anymore.
I’m pretty sure this is already canon, but his favorite season is autumn/fall. He just likes the colors and how it’s not really as sunny outside so he’s able to sit on his porch during the day.
Sam can sing. Like really well. The first time he actually sung around people was during a little meet up with the Shaw Pack and they did Karaoke. He sung River by BRKN LOVE, as Darlin’ requested and they absolutely fell more in love with him.
I feel like Darlin’ also got him into Hozier but the only songs he religiously listens to is Would That I, Like Real People Do, and Cherry Wine (but specifically the live version).
He HATES dancing. Absolutely hates it. The most he’ll do is tap his foot or sway a little bit.
Definitely gives the absolute best hugs. He’s a tall, little bit chonky guy. He gives the most perfect bear hugs.
Also because he’s not an actual prince, but is a duke of the Solaire Clan, William got him a custom made broach. He’s very grateful for it and never wears it. He leaves it in the box on his dresser with his other important trinkets and photos.
He has a box full of random stuff that Darlin’ has collected over the years from the forest.

So I haven't made many garden updates because of my mental health, I went into survival mode for a bit, but now things are looking up, so I have things to share!
The garden has started producing zuchinnis monstrously, I've somehow managed to get more than 6 zuchinni plants which is a Mistake and I should have known better. I've ran out of ideas so I've been looking online for recipes and then I found this video, which I believe is the most sinful video ever created, if you're into women and wanting to get severely tempted then and only then watch this.
I've managed to get poisoned again, nobody is surprised, but this time I didn't do anything except eat food that was more than 24hrs old, I thought it would be fine, it didn't taste like it went completely bad, it was more like, on the edge. I think it happened because I put raw chives in it, and it was like, a blended soup, so maybe I just shouldn't do that. It took me 2 days to recover, I'm alright now.
The rest of the garden is doing so bad it's kinda funny, I haven't been taking care of it like usual, and I've found myself not having enough seeds of everything I've wanted, like green beans, peas, potatoes, so I've decided to plant what I have, only to get seeds, without actually eating those things. I also want to learn to grow potatoes and onions out of seeds, I've never done it before but I'm very excited at the prospect! My potatoes are not currently flowering but I saw a big field of potatoes and they all had flowers, so I'm planning to just sneak in there and steal a few potato fruits - nobody here is growing potatoes from seed anyway and the fruits are very poisonous. (I will not eat them don't worry).
I've gotten a decent harvest of garlic, I'm very happy with it! I got above expectations amount of chamomile, and I got gifted a whole lot of thyme. I'm in the process of drying strawberries for winter and I love how much I've got already. Next zuchinnis to get harvested will get dried too, and then finally, I'll dry cherry tomatoes as well. I can't wait to have a stash of dried goods again, they were invaluable last winter.
My tomatoes are looking pretty bad this summer, and that's not usually the case, I wonder if it's the bad weather, or I just haven't done enough fertilizing this year. I've gotten a few tiny ones from my balcony, where I'm having a few dwarf tomatoes grow, but they've also been doing bad, and they seem to be dying already. Peppers are still tiny little things and I only hope that eventually they start to grow properly. Beans, on the other hand, are doing great, they've taken their space and they're ruling their lands, climbing up to the skies and creating tons of produce. I'm checking every day to see when I can start a harvest, I would absolutely love some beans.
I feel like this year is a preparation more than a great gardening year; the beans will fertilize my soil, the lessons I've learned about planting in strawberry beds will help me do a better job next year, the tiny amount of green beans and peas I've planted will give me the seeds to plant big amounts next year, and if I learn to grow onions and potatoes from seed, the next year I will have more than enough, and I will have the knowledge to keep producing these things forever, without ever having to worry about seeds again.
If anyone has recipes for zuchinni that only require potatoes, flour, garlic and spices, I'd love to know! I have poisoned myself with soup so I have to hit the pause on that. Once I get tomatoes and peppers it will be pizza time!

Actually I don't think I'm gonna publish that post afterall, half cuz I don't wanna rewrite it and half cuz judging by the posts I've seen a lot of people have already said what I was going to anyway- so here's a condensed version- and this is mostly just me getting some stuff out of my system tbh lol
I still really do not get why the server didn't close down for longer/do a hiatus, it just genuinely seemed like the most logical solution from every angle: a financial one, a burn-out one, a reconstruction one, and to strengthen credibility and trust- instead they just kept things going again as soon as they could and it just felt so careless and so cruel to the employees who'd been let go with no explanation or those left in limbo unsure if they still even had a job or not. It also was just not fun at all watching a server that felt like a soulless zombie-shell of it's former self.
I get needing to let go of the egg admins- I'd much rather say goodbye then have them strung along underpaid/not paid at all solely because fan loves them and they rake in views.
That said I wish the goodbye streams were better planned and it's a bitter feeling knowing some of the eggs won't ever get to say goodbye
Somewhat related to above, what Cherry (Em's admin) said on stream REALLY does not give me any hope that this new team will be any better then the last- At the very least I'm glad Cherry has the other former admins and Bagi there to support her.
same goes for the twitter translators who were canned and replaced with AI- like I can get those teams being cut because those roles were imo a LOT to ask out of an employee and not sustainable- it's the way they went about it that leaves an extremely sour taste in my mouth and makes me worry that there could be more fired employees who were treated similarly.
I still really do not know how to feel about the reset especially since we don't know anything about it- Common thought seems to be it is happening on the 24th which like...first of all why is this happening so soon why are you so obsessed with rushing back into things stop it- second of all... I just don't know if I feel comfortable sticking around for it cuz like I said above right now I don't feel like I can trust this new team not to repeat the same shit the past one did (and I'll most likely miss it anyway since I work that day of fucking course LOL)
I don't hate this project, I don't want to root for it's failure, I don't want it all to fall apart- I wanted it to get better- I'm critical of it because I wanted it to be better for everyone. I'm beyond devastated with how this turned out, all the wasted potential from every angle just eats me up inside, I truly thought things were going to get better. A naive hurt part of me is always gonna wish that things do get better and maybe somehow the stories I loved so dearly will somehow come back... but that is such copium lmao
I'm probably still gonna lurk around because I love the community on here and because I am morbidly curious to see what they're gonna do with this project next... I don't think I'll watch personally, but I'll keep up with the liveblogs. I stopped my queue awhile back cuz I felt so bad about the server and everything, but I'm gonna reopen it soon. Even though I still feel too bitter rn to look back on it all fondly I still want to support a talented resilient community that deserved better.
I wish I could feel better about it all, but I'm not gonna waste time getting my hopes up.

Hello, love your work btw, it's tied with another fic series for the number one slot of best fics I have ever read, anyway what are your headcanons on what flavour of ice creams the ninja+ your ocs would like, and what are their reactions to the Dairy Dragon? Do they love it, hate it, or meh about the fact that the flavours are named after their villains? Do they even like the ice cream in the first place? How traumatised is Lloyd, post s5 after they name an ice cream flavour, 'the mango morro'. What are Jay's and Nya's reactions when they find out the flavour 'Bananakan' exist? Are the sprinkles and toppings named after the ninja then? Also wouldn't it be funny that while the rest of ninjago gets destroyed by a villain (for the umpteenth time), the Dairy Dragon still stands cuz its that good even the villains love it? Anyway, have a great day/night.
Well thank you!!! I'm honored to share such a flattering title!! :'3
But now, what we all came here for...ICE CREAM THOUGHTS GO
Kai: Is not a huge ice cream guy but will still eat it when the opportunities arises. Pretty meh about the Dairy Dragon; all ice cream places are the same to him. Is a little wary about the villain flavors and generally avoids them. Likes lemon + berry flavors primarily, but will try something wild like a chilli pepper flavor or a spiced chocolate and wind up utterly addicted. Has a topping called "Kai Krunch".
Jay: Loves ice cream, but likes Ice Planet more than Dairy Dragon. Flipped his shit upon seeing the Bananakhan flavor (especially because Skybound events aren't erased this time around ahahaaaaa), but is also amused by the fact it's a banana-flavor. He likes ice cream that has "Stuff" in it, like cookie dough, brownie pieces, fruit bits, peanut butter bites, cheesecake pieces, candy crunches, pop rocks, etc, etc. It's about the texture for him (...and he tends to get Kai Krunch loaded on top of everything, but don't tell Kai that)
Cole: Love ices cream, indifferent on Dairy Dragon. Amused by the villain flavors and thinks there should be more, but will not say that to anyone's face. Like sorbets and sherbets the most as he had those for dessert a lot while growing up, but otherwise isn't all that picky. Has a flavor called "Cole's Rocky Road", which is just Rocky Road, but it's very popular Jesse buys it by the carton
Zane: Indifferent on Ice Cream and Dairy Dragon; much prefers ice pops as a frozen treat. He does make a habit of tasting the villain flavors just to see if they're accurate lmao. Has no real partiality to any flavor, but makes Ninjapolitan his go-to, since its four flavors are based on him and the Core Four (which is cherry, (blue) raspberry, blackberry, and french vanilla).
Nya: Likes ice cream, liked Dairy Dragon until Bananakhan became a flavor (she was always more of an Ice Planet gal anyway), aaand is a huge chocolate ice cream junkie. The "Nya Special" is literally chocolate ice cream filled with chocolate brownies filled with fudge and covered in chocolate syrup and fudge sprinkles, and just looking at it is enough to put even Lloyd into a sugar coma.
Lloyd: Loves ice cream and Dairy Dragon, but is the vanilla fan. "You can make vanilla into any other flavor, but you can't make any other flavor into vanilla, and plus vanilla is always good by itself", is his motto. Hates the villain flavors and is especially put off by Mango Morro and is a little bitter about how popular it is snksnknsnk. "Spinjitzu Swirl" is actually a flavor based on Lloyd specifically, which is essentially a green-colored cake batter flavor with frosting (...which exists and I have had it. It is to die for).
Jesse: Prefers frozen yogurt to ice cream, not that he won't eat ice cream. Likes mystery flavors or not knowing what he's going to get, because he likes being surprised (in this specific instance lol), and finds the villain flavors to be a bit distasteful. Also really enjoys Ninjapolitan and Spinjitzu Swirl. Lowkey slips in some suggestions for a "Fruity Fuchsia" flavor. The time will come, he's sure of it.
Antonia: Ice cream is like her favorite treat ever, but doesn't even discover Dairy Dragon until way later on and kicks herself for it. Doesn't mind the villain flavors, but thinks they could be more creatively named. Is a Buttered Pecan kind of gal, but otherwise just gets whatever she's in the mood for. Is also a strong advocate for making "Fruity Fuchsia" a thing, but for different reasons.
Harumi: Used to like ice cream a whole lot, but the novelty wears off over time. Will still go to the Dairy Dragon if Antonia's egging her on about it. Likes strawberry the most, sometimes shares in Kai's penchant for spicier flavors...but is also unfortunately a huge fan of Spinjitzu Swirl and Ninjapolitan (she tried the latter out of spite) and there's literally nothing else like it in the world so she has to get that specifically if she wants to indulge RIP. Would also actively boycott Fruity Fuchsia if it existed hgdhsfhfs
Miranda: Not crazy about ice cream but certainly isn't going to turn it down either, especially if it's from Dairy Dragon (which Nelson gets her hooked on). Surprisingly has simple flavor preference, as her go-tos are mint chocolate chip and cookies & cream. Also has a whole list of idea for future villain flavors that they could and should use (such as Time Twin Tropicana, Pythor Punch, Mechanic Marble, Overlord Overload, and a Garmadon popsicle with gumball eyes)
Olivia: Might be contradicting something I said previously but she tends to avoid ice cream—the cold is really sensitive on her teeth. She can force herself to eat it but it's not usually a good experience. She does, however, like chocolate-flavor almost as much as Nya does, and can manage some salted-caramel flavor on occasion as well. Attempts to destroy the Dairy Dragon once or twice just to figure out how it manages to stay standing throughout everything lmao
Pixal: Does not like ice cream at all, but can be encouraged to at least try a bite or two, but will never go overboard with it. Therefore, indifferent to Dairy Dragon. Can stomach some vanilla on occasion, but like Zane, would probably go for a fruity ice pop first.
Skylor: Has not really had the chance to indulge in ice cream until getting off the island, and then the Dairy Dragon winds up becoming one of her favorite spots. As with her drink preferences, like a lot of the more tropical flavors (pineapple, coconut, dragonfruit, etc) and finds things like chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry a bit bland. She can get behind citrus flavors, however. Really hopes they don't make a flavor out of her dad—she's already got enough bad publicity to deal with.
Bridget: An Ice cream hater, somehow even more than Pixal.
Sunni: Is lactose-intolerant and probably shouldn't even be eating ice cream but that's not going to stop her from indulging in Ninjapolitan or Spinjitzu Swirl snksnksnksn. Would also probably die if she attempted to eat the "Nya Special", and very loudly attempts to boycott Bananakhan (with reluctant help from Samantha).
Harleigh: Not a big ice cream fan herself, but is lowkey waiting for them to make an ice cream flavor out of Ronin (for better or worse)

I've become obsessed with perfume so I'm going to ramble about it on my blog to my captive audience, as you do. Sorry to anyone who is here for consistent fandom posting, but I do warn people in my sidebar. :'))
I've worn V&R Flowerbomb as my go-to fancy "I'm an adult who wears PERFUME now!" perfume after my dad gifted me a large 100mL bottle (and eventually a 50mL refill for a later birthday) of it... probably around 2014 or 2015? It's a nice, popular fragrance and Russian people consider perfume and cologne to be a standard thing to use, so it made me feel very nice about myself. I also had a 10mL vial of Banana Republic's Rosewood as an evening scent, which I recently googled and realized is very inexpensive for how much I enjoyed the smell of it, but I haven't seen it in a couple of years.
I know I used to think Flowerbomb was very warm and sweet and flowery, but at some point in the past few years I started basically tasting it in the back of my throat in an unpleasant, scrapey way, so with 25mL of it left in my last bottle, I decided to get a new perfume! And promptly fell down the r/fragrance rabbit hole.
Anyway, I've made three trips to two different Sephoras to stand around sniffing perfume until I go nose-blind and nauseated.
THE RESULTS (aka. I'm very vanilla, but Not Like That):
YSL Black Opium Over Red: An evening or cold-season scent that made me want to autocannibalize my own arm when I tried it out on myself. I've read that the original Black Opium is a very popular scent, but in my opinion it was missing something fruity or fresh, and the Over Red flanker's cherry note is exactly what it needed. I thought I liked floral perfumes more than gourmands but it turns out that I'm just a sucker for vanilla. I bought this for full freaking retail price because apparently it's a 2024 release. I guess I'm trendy now.
MJ Daisy Eau So Intense: A sweet honey-strawberry perfume for a spring or summer day that makes me want to go eat a pear. There are a lot of fruity-floral perfumes out there, but this one stood out and wrapped its strawberry-and-pear scented fingers into my grey matter when I first tried it and made me think of childhood summer vacation. This also has base notes of vanilla, though I wouldn't have been able to identify that without looking it up. Thankfully, this one I was able to get at something like 60% off retail price.
Burberry Her Elixir: Berries, jasmine, amber. This is the daily-wear all-arounder I was looking for to actually replace my Flowerbomb. It's suitable for any time of year or day, as long as I spray it somewhere I can smell it all the time because otherwise I'm going to be that weirdo sniffing their own wrist constantly. It is also the final nail in the "Yeah, okay, I'm obsessed with vanilla" coffin because it turns out that's in this one, too. (And the final nail in the coffin of my wallet because this one also wasn't available from discounters.) Also, the atomizer on this one is flawless.
Anyway, now I smell very nice all of the time. I might get one more if I can find a very rose-scented perfume that has vanilla in it instead of smelling like the color green if it was wet, but otherwise I feel like I'm set!

Tumblr media
"Is that my sweater?" You asked quietly, Sam tying her hair back before turning her body to look at you. "I don't know, is it?" She said it while biting back a smile, shrugging before turning back to the mirror.
"I don't know it looks eerily similar to one I have." It was your turn to joke this time, sitting up while tossing your phone aside onto the mattress. "Like I mean exact shade and style." "We must have the same one."
"Oh yeah?" She nodded, turning away from the mirror and taking long strides over to your side of the bed. Your hand instinctively going to her thigh as she set her hand down on your shoulder and massaged it.
"It looks better on me anyway." You laughed at that, though with a slight scoff, playfully smacking her hip. "Rude." "You look good in everything... but this sweater." "Oh, but what about that shirt you were wearing yesterday?" "That one too." "Ah."
You shook your head, Sam moving to crawl across you to get to her side of the bed. Falling down onto the pillow while looking at you with a smile.
"It smells like you." "I think I got that." You giggled, laying down beside your girlfriend, smelling her fresh mint breath and shampoo. "And it feels like you." "That's creepy." "Aw, I think it's cute."
Sam leaned forward, pressing a kiss to your nose. Your head then moving to catch her lips in a kiss, tasting of her toothpaste and cherry chapstick, smiling halfway through.
"I was thinking, tomorrow night we should make those vegan chicken nuggets." "Their not chicken." "Oh shut it, you know what I mean." You hummed, wrapping a strand of her blonde hair around your finger.
"What if I think they're the grossest things in the world and are hospitalized after eating them?" "Well that's certainly a chain of events." You huffed, pulling a throw blanket over you.
"Well I'm thinking realistically." "Oh yeah babe, real realistic."
Sam smiled as you pulled the small blanket over her as well, snuggling up close to the girl before sighing.
"They're actually good food and not shit you just want me to try?" "I promise, I really think you'll like them, my dad liked them."
Sam swore your eyes lit up at that, after days of pleading to share the giant box of tenders with her, that was what finally got you to break.
"He did?" "Seriously?" "Answer the question." "Yes Y/n." "Then fine, I will try your vegan fake chicken things."
Sam would've said something snarky, but knowing you, you would have denied trying them, argued and then fell asleep all in five minutes.
"Thank you, you're gonna like them." "You better hope." "Oh, what're you gonna do to me if you don't?"
You pretended to think for a moment before pretending to come to a conclusion. Grinning.
"I'll lock you in the closet and feed you vegan goldfish crackers through the floor gap."
"Oh and what to drink?"
"Baby waters every three days. Juice boxes if you're good."
"How sweet of you."
"I know you're lucky I love you."
Sam moved to snuggle into your shoulder, laying your cheek against her forehead.
"Are you excited for Josh's getaway, memorial party bash?" "No, the guy needs therapy, time to grieve, I'm not so sure going back to the place the twins disappeared from is the best idea."
Same hummed in semi-agreeance, looking forward at your TV playing and then at the snowy, fogged window.
"I thought so too." "But maybe this'll help him cope, or something. Maybe give him closure or... I really don't know. I call him at least once a week, he seems... okay. But how much can you really get over a phone call?"
"I think it'll do him some good having us around." You nodded, Sam feeling you move, her eyes slowly beginning to droop while watching the colors of the screen flash along the walls of your shared bedroom.
Inhaling the smell of you in her sweater and the one you'd put on earlier. Her acrylic nails running along your the bare back of your hand.
"I love you y'know that?" She then mumbled looking up at you, tapping your nose with her finger. "Thanks." "Really?" "I love you too Sammy."
"Even when I still your clothes?" "Especially when you steal my clothes."

Take a Taste: with Uncle John's Chili Con Empanada and Sprite Lemon Plus [Recorded: Mar 30th, 2024]
Hello! It’s time for another “Take a Taste”! The series is about delicious food with my two paper dolls.
Today, it's time to share my food thoughts from the past month of March 30th, 2024; "Black Saturday" on Holy Week 🙏✝️. Once again, I break the "Holy Week" ❌🥩 rules because I ate the Chili Con Empanada from Uncle John's (formerly named: "Ministop Philippines") 🌶️🥟, with a refreshing drink of Sprite Lemon Plus in a can 🍋🥫. So, how's it taste of the Empanada from Uncle John's? 🤔 Let's find out, right now.
If you haven’t seen my previous episode, then please click → [CLICK ME!].
IMPORTANT NOTE: No #OnThisDay throwback post for this date.
So, without further ado, let’s get started:
1st & 2nd Image(s) 📷📲: ↑
• It's morning, 7:50 AM 🕖. And I'm somewhere at random Uncle John's convenience store 🇵🇭🟦🟨🏪 branch with my parents and my related family members for paying a visit at our ancestral house. But before we depart, I haven't... or WE haven't eaten breakfast by the time we arrive. So, I decided to purchase a nice hot Chili Con Empanada 🌶️🥟 worth ₱35, and a nice refreshing Sprite Lemon Plus 🍋🥫. in a can worth ₱45 (₱33 in the original suggested retail price)? I'm not sure but, I haven't tried it yet, aside from the only default Sprite flavor. 🤔
Did you know #1: I remember drinking the limited edition of "Sprite Lebron's Mix"? Yup, a collaborate with NBA superstar, LeBron James and Sprite. Which, by the way, I don't know much about NBA nor watching NBA matches because I'm not a basketball fan. ❌🏀🤷‍♀️ Nevertheless, as far as I know, this one tastes like authentic cherry flavor fused with Sprite's flavor, and I was surprised that this flavor Sprite drink was so good, I wish it'll be returned, soon as a normal production rather than limited. Man, I missed it, so much. 🍋🍒🥫😃😋
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
3rd to 6th Image(s) 📷📲: ↑
• Nonetheless, here's my first bite of the Chili Con Empanada. It is spicy yet very juicy with all the meaty goodness inside. 😃😋 But, is it hot though? 🤔 Nah, not at all. I can't help myself eating it, and I should order two Empanadas (of the same flavor). Here you two, want some? It is delicious! 😋
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
7th to 10th Image(s) 📷📲: ↑
• Now, what about the Sprite Lemon Plus? 🍋🥫🤔 For my taste, it's the same taste as the OG Sprite, unlike the "Lebron's Mix" cherry flavor. And if you want a take a peek at the color of the "Sprite Lemon Plus", I'd say it slightly yellowish blur color instead of the clear carbonate that we all know. To be honest, the appearance of the Lemon Plus is something that came out of dishwater with a dash of lemonade fruit that was squeezed in. I don't know, who knows? 🤷‍♀️ If only I had bought a glass to see the color, or maybe a plastic cup in my bag, or maybe I should it bought the plastic bottle format. 🤷‍♀️ Anyways, it says here that the "Sprite Lemon Plus" had a zesty lemon flavor, sharp fizz, caffeine, and vitamin B3. Yes, this Lemon Plus has indeed put "Caffeine" on a yellowish color carbonated drink. It's a Sprite with a little dash of Energy Drink, basically (I guess). 🍋⚡🥫 Looks like, I want a go another round of Sprite Lemon Plus, and see if I compare to the OG Sprite and the well-known Coca-Cola for the caffeine taste. Maybe, someday. 🤔
Did you know #2: That "Uncle John's" 🇵🇭🟦🟨🏪 convenience store used to be "MiniStop Philippines"? The latter was launched in 2000, until September 2022 owing to the death of former RRHI (that's "Robinsons Retail Holdings, Inc.", by the way) founder John Gokongwei, Jr. ✝️🧑‍💼, as well as the ending partnership of "Ministop Co." and "Mitsubishi Corporation" of Japan 🇯🇵🏢. Thus, the entire branches of "MiniStop" Philippines are now renamed to "Uncle John's" already effected by July 1st, 2023. Meanwhile, the OG "Ministop" still operates today in selected Asian regions outside Japan like Kazakhstan 🇰🇿, South Korea 🇰🇷, Viet Nam 🇻🇳 (our neighbor Southeast Asia country), and China 🇨🇳.
Overall:
• It's a solid breakfast meal! I dig the Chili Con Empanada over the greasy chicken sandwich that I've tasted before, in my previous topic. 🌶️🥟😋👍 And regardless of my thoughts of Sprite Lemon Plus, it is pretty damn refreshing. 🍋⚡🥫😋👍 And as I said, I will do a comparison between the OG Sprite for the color, and the OG Coca-Cola as well for the caffeine effect, in my next topic. Yup, this is going to be a "Sugar Rush" of soda test, I suppose. 🥤
BTW: This WASN'T the only meal I munch on because I have another meal on the same date as before. So, stay tuned for that. 😉
Well, that's all for now. 😊

I love that you also love cooking! Ok, the BTS members are all coming over for dinner. What are you making them and why?
YES DINNER PARTIES BITCHES I genuinely love dinner parties so much and I love hosTING AND FEEDING PEOPLE LIKE nobody believes me when I say that I want people to leave my home STUFFED omfg the granny in me just wants people to EAT.
Okay now that this is out of the way, the thought of cooking for seven men (who eat so much like help) does stress me out a little HAHAHAH like how much is enough? what is yummy? what kinda beverages do they want?? what about dessert and little snacks?? besties I might actually fade away, this is giving me real life stress hahahah
Now let's say the dinner party would happen in summer. I'd whip out my barbeque and make them the yummiest, heart-warming, filling barbeque of their life cause one thing y'all don't know about me, I'm the kinda bisexual that grills like her life depends on it, with a baseball hat and a flannel on and a glass of wine (i don't drink beer) in my hand LIKE the stereotype is living through me hahaha also a girl can season some meat yall don't even knooow
If the dinner party happens in winter, I'd make them the yummiest, most soul healing roasted chicken of their life. The recipe's been in my family since generations and it never dissapoints. I made it for my friends one time and they each got three portions YEAH that's how good it is
Drinks? First of all, I work at a brewery so Imma serve beer and whisky from the brewery. The kinda, god like amazing tasting beer and whisky that even snobs like me enjoy the taste of. It's genuinely so good HAHAH I'd serve that. AND local wine, because I live in the official wine region of Austria and our wine SLAPS. Y'all think you know good wine? omfg please try wine from my region, that shit is an experience omfg also for non alcoholic drinks, I'm surrounded by fruit farmers who sell their own fruit juices so I'll get some of them and serve that to them.
Snacks? dude either super local stuff or just plain old snacks from big snack chains HAHAH sorry boys I can't bothered for snacks yall are the real snacks anyways
Desserts? I'll probably like bake one of very own cake recipes, bro my berry vanilla cake OR my apple tarte or my chocolate cherry cake fuckkc. maybe all of them. or I'll make something fancy like ice cream jsjsjjs
Anonie now I really wanna host a dinner party for them :( I sob into my pillow at night :(

Green, chai and earl grey for Elphinstone?
(for these, still open)
Green (What is your OC’s favorite piece of clothing?) - her favourite is probably the dark red dress i frequently draw her wearing, she's had it since just before she ended up lost and lurking below london (and then since she was back in london itself again)
Chai (What is your OC’s comfort food/drink?) - well, thoughts from this made me go look up the composition of sealing wax, and... turns out, depending on how you view snuffers' wax-eating, wax letter seals might be as much of a forbidden snack to ellie as they are to the rest of us. or possibly feels-like-food-but-nutritionally-empty for her, when compared to the very filling entirely nutritious meal of a candle
so anyway, that distraction aside, i'm going to say his comfort food would be beeswax and darkdew cherries. the former is an entirely dependable generic food, the latter a lovely comforting treat that usually doesn't make him too sick*
*i believe snuffers could likely eat fruit just fine, but elphinstone is always a sickly wretched beast for one reason or another. this is a fact
Earl Grey (Does your OC like to read? What is their taste in books?) - he'd probably read a lot, i feel like he'd mainly go for stories of a romantic feel (in either sense), and also science fiction scientific romances. and plenty of overly-flowery writing that takes way too long to get to the point (not as if theres any shortage of that in 19th-century literature...). his tastes more or less reflect how he writes, although he's more about writing theory than fiction.. as you could probably assume from him being described as a belletrist

"..." Alvaro stopped whatever he's doing to Paulo. He stared blankly with a heavy gaze. Love? He never quite thought about that certain thing. He liked one-night stands but couldn't really commit to relationships.
So he poured some more wine. He really did not care if he had a game tomorrow; he couldn't think straight anyway. Now it was too fast. Paulo liked it.
"You didn't answer my question," he said, cut off by kisses. The taste of wine on his lips was quite pleasant. The fragrance of Paulo's intoxicating cologne enhances his beauty further.
The look on Paulo's face is truly beautiful. The rosy cheeks were stained with tears. Gosh, he even cried prettily. Maybe even Alvaro wasn't okay. In fact, nobody was. They were all messed up in some way.
Perhaps it was how sick Paulo could think and how they’d just laugh it off. Because, really, it was just between them. Nobody could understand them like they did with each other. Alvaro knew every little thing about Paulo, and so did Paulo.
"You're no good for me; you're no good for  me."Paulo panted; his gasps were music to Alvaro's ears. Too fast; he loved it. Pressing kisses on his neck, Alvaro was really 'busy.'
"You smell like cherries; that's new," Alvaro whispered softly, playing with Paulo's fingers. Paulo's hands were slightly smaller compared to Alvaro's. Alvaro liked that.
Paulo seemed to calm down a bit. Just letting Alvaro take control. Now they were both entangled in each other's warmth. The night was cold. Funny how it was still autumn.
"What's his name, was it Leandro?"
"Alvaro, it's not like that."
"Just some rumors I've heard—not everyone you sleep with means you love them," Alvaro whispered, and suddenly Paulo looked up, realizing one small little thing.
"Is that why you dodged the question?" Paulo asked, his gaze serious. He just wondered, Why didn't Alvaro answer him? The questions were eating him alive.
"What do you mean?" Alvaro chuckled. Pauli hated how careless Alvaro could be sometimes. How could he ignore everything and just laugh it off? But that's how they have always been. They have always done that. Maybe that's why they still care about each other.
Alvaro knew exactly what Paulo meant; he’d always know what he meant. They understood each other better than anyone else.
"You know very well."
Paulo was so afraid. He was afraid that he was just a fuck buddy to Alvaro. Just someone to take it out on whenever he felt awful.
Alvaro looked at him, his eyes meeting Paulo's curious ones. Then suddenly, Alvaro kissed Paulo one last time. The kiss was slow and patient. It wasn't like any of their kisses. It wasn't rushed.
"Since the summer of '09," Alvaro breathed, his fingers caressing Paulo's. "What?"
"I've loved you since the summer of '09," Alvaro confessed. God, it felt like an eternity to say. Finally, he got it out of his chest. He felt calm, as if he had nothing to be afraid of, as if he were free from it all.
It took him 13 summers to acknowledge his ever-hopeless feelings. 13 summers. 8 words. One sentence.
"I love you the first time; I love you the last time." And Paulo just hopes that it truly lasts an eternity. He hopes that it won't be like any other passionate night they've shared together. He hopes that Alvaro won't forget about it the morning after. He just hopes that Alvaro doesn't shatter his poor heart again.
Omg 😭😭😭😭 I'm crying
I'm so in love I just need an entire series now 😂😅 the details are so perfect I love this so much!!! Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️

@giftandguile : [ FIVE CONFESSIONS ] souheki :)
Tumblr media
it all starts on a very boring valentine's day morning. dazai is laying his head on his desk, watching kunikida type away a report that dazai should also be doing. but he's not thinking of work, he's thinking of a way to swipe his partner's credit card and purchase some last minute gifts for a few women he'll ask to commit double suicide with.
that is, until ranpo calls his name. dazai raises his head, broken out of his thoughts just in time for the detective to shove a heart-shaped lollipop in his mouth. it's a rather forward gesture of affection, ultimately claiming dazai as his valentine with one single motion. the entire agency, dazai included, stare dumbfoundedly at ranpo. he's about as idiotic as the rest of them when it comes to acts of romance, especially public ones.
the stick of the lollipop bobs up and down between dazai's lips as he tastes the artificial cherry flavor. he should say something as revenge to get back at ranpo for the clearly possessive action over the man who had, just moments ago, been plotting multiple double suicides on the holiday. a sickly sweet i love you should suffice. something to have the last word and save face in front of their coworkers. but the words are heavy on his tongue, trapped behind the sweet as all dazai can do is watch ranpo stroll away.

all eyes fall to dazai but he's forgotten all about them at this point. he pulls out the lollipop, turning it around in his fingers with a pout. he'll get him back tonight, he's sure of it.
three simple words: i love you. that shouldn't be hard. dazai has strung together much more poetic and elaborate confessions to a few waitresses before. this will be easy. he reaches the dorms, cheeks puffing in anticipation as he stands in front of ranpo's door. just go in and say it. dazai opens the door. " ranpo-san, i-- " the smell of crab fills his nostrils and he stops. head tilts, staring at the older in the kitchen making instant noodles and opening up that canned crab dazai loves so much. jade eyes glance at him with a knowing grin.
he's playing with him, clear as day. dazai huffs, arms crossed. well, at least he knows anyway, right? " they're going to talk now, you know, " dazai finally responds, speaking about the public display of affection during the busiest time at the agency. but ranpo already knows, he always knows. what's three words against the deduction of the world's greatest detective?
except... something is bothering him. maybe it's the way naomi grins at him much wider the next day, or the way atsushi keeps glancing at him so much that dazai finally decides to do his paperwork to focus on something, or the way everyone descends upon him the moment ranpo leaves for a case. how long have you two been dating? did you kiss yet? have you... you know... (kunikida immediately stops any further questioning about the couple's sex life). but there is one question that weighs on dazai's mind even after everyone dispersed: who confessed? " well, you can't really hide these things from ranpo-san, " dazai laughs, trying to brush off some sort of gnawing feeling in his heart.
technically, it had been ranpo, on a night when dazai's monsters had decided to try and drag him down again. you aren't alone. three words to reach out and pull dazai from the darkness. something so easy in three simple words.
ranpo's case is out of the prefecture, which means dazai is home alone, eating crab straight from the can and drink a rather generous amount of sake. it's not like it matters. ranpo knows dazai loves him. but the doubt has set in, thinking about to the day before and how he had been planning on a lover's suicide for valentine's day with a stranger while ranpo sat there and watched. while his boyfriend sat there and watched. that's what they are now, right? boyfriends?
dazai curls up in his futon. all of this is so messy. feelings are messy and he hates them. mori had the right idea to try and stamp them out of dazai when he was a teen. eyes squeeze shut. this is hard.
the alcohol makes his mind hazy but he thinks he hears his door opening. he immediately figures out that it's ranpo's footsteps that cross dazai's living space and collapses next to him. he feels smaller arms snake around his middle and a forehead nuzzle between his shoulders. a lazy smile finds its way to dazai's face as he hums, instantly feeling himself relax in the detective's grip. he knows the case wasn't hard but ranpo had tired himself out by sight seeing most of the day. dazai can feel him already slip into slumber nestled up against him.
there's no way ranpo doesn't know. not when he knows all of dazai's other emotions, knows how to pick through them like the lies he spins and find what the suicidal maniac needs the most. even now, curled up against him, ranpo is giving dazai exactly what he needs. that's when dazai decides it's not a matter of if he knows but that he deserves to know.
he loves him. he loves how he thinks -- not just his intellect but his empathy. he's kind. he reaches out. he's patient. oh how he's patient. dazai is a piece of work, he knows he is, and yet ranpo hasn't given in, hasn't let him go despite all of dazai's best efforts. he remembers the first time ranpo fished him out of the river, crouching beside dazai with an umbrella to shield them both from the rain even though he was already soaked to the bone. he loves the way he kisses him. he loves the way he touches his body, knowing when to be rough and when to be gentle. he loves his eyes, the way he regards dazai as if he is something worthy to be looked at.
yes, ranpo deserves to hear those words. because they are honest with each other. because this is a truth that has taken up the whole of dazai's heart. lips part to attempt to mouth the words but they fall on his tongue again. it's like there's a spell over him, stopping him from saying what he wants to say. no, it's a matter of circumstance. dazai simply needs to say it at the right time. a special time, something romantic so they can remember it later with fondness.
that's when dazai decides: he will confess his love to ranpo on white day.
Tumblr media
except what the hell is he supposed to do for white day? he's never taken such frivolous holidays seriously. he buys expensive chocolate or a disgustingly elaborate flower arrangement on kunikida's dime. but he can't do that this time, not with ranpo. not when this time it's meant to be real.
in the twenty-eight days leading up to the holiday, dazai agonizes over what he should do. he's even less productive than normal. he has forgone his desk to lay face down on the couch and whining loudly whenever someone tries to get him to do anything. what's even worse is that ranpo is in the office every day. dazai can feel those eyes on him, observing him in his misery before leaving to snatch some sweets and head back to his desk. it's torture that ranpo sees him like this, knows exactly what's going through his head, and still never speaks of it. dazai knows he's simply waiting for him to say it in his own time, but that infinite patience only makes the monster's claws dig deeper into dazai's brain.
this shouldn't be hard. people do it all the time. and the two of them are extraordinary people. they've started to become known as twin jade: the two brightest. dazai doesn't seem very bright right now.
all of dazai's extravagant ideas get scrapped. sweets are too obvious. flowers are too cheesy. expensive items don't suit ranpo. all of the best dating places are already booked for white day by couples who actually know what they're doing. and so come the morning of march 14th and dazai is empty handed.
he wakes up on his couch, alone, neck hurting from the uncomfortable angle he slept in. empty sake bottles and a headache tell him of the previous night. he's not an alcoholic like a certain chibi he knows but he must have had enough to make sure he was bad company, especially to the one person he doesn't want to see. dazai drags his hands down his face with a groan, knowing he failed in his task.
failure is unacceptable. you are not allowed to fail. you must be perfect. if you are not perfect no one will want you--
dazai turns on the couch and shoves his face into the cushion, hoping to suffocate right then and there. all he feels is his headache worsen which in turn puts the detective in an even worse mood. fine, he'll get the first thing he sees and give it to ranpo and that will be that.
and that is how dazai finds himself stand in front of ranpo, who is perched on his desk like he always is, and shoving a bag of chocolate he bought from 7-eleven right into his hands. lips are pressed together in a thin line as dazai stares at the chocolates like they're about to come alive and eat him.
just say it. just say it you idiot! but not even a sound makes its way passed dazai's lips. this isn't how it was meant to go at all. now he can't even look at ranpo or anyone else despite knowing that every pair of eyes is fixated on him. then dazai turns and leaves. he hears atsushi trying to call him back but he really couldn't care less. flinging himself off of yokohama bay bridge is sound really appealing right now.
Tumblr media
the golden colors of sunset great dazai when he finally opens his eyes. he hears the gentle waves against the pier and the sound of someone unwrapping candy. wait-- dazai turns his head to see ranpo sitting next to him, eating those unbearable cheap chocolates dazai had bought him as he waited for the younger to finally come to. he stares, confused as he always is, at the effort ranpo puts into him.
" are you done yet? " he asks dazai. he should say yes, just call it quits and suffer in his title as most useless boyfriend. but he wants to say it. he wants to tell ranpo that he loves him. mouth open but ranpo reaches out and presses his index finger to dazai's lips. " i know. "
" i know you know, " dazai protests. " but i want to be able to say it. "
" i know. " he can see the small, knowing smirk on ranpo's face.
dazai sits up, lips down turned into a pout. " stop that, " he huffs and flicks the water still clinging to his fingers from his dip in the ocean. ranpo chuckles and dazai's heart soars. he'd been so wrapped up in his mission (because that is what it became) that he had simply forgotten the ease that comes with being alone with ranpo edogawa. for the first time in a month, dazai finally manages to relax his shoulders.
he leans forward, resting his head on his boyfriend's shoulder with a loud sigh. " you're so mean, ranpo-san, " dazai whines, " letting me make a fool of myself like that. just because i wanted to tell you how much i love you. "
a second, two seconds, three seconds go by. dazai abruptly raises his head, eyes wide as he's met with a wide smile that makes those green hues shine so wonderfully. and then ranpo reaches out and flicks his forehead. " dazai, you are an idiot. "
and dazai laughs, something light and warm, something he never could have done if not for the agency and the man who holds all of his affections. he leans in close, then, the smile still on his face as his lips brush against ranpo's. " i know. "
