Noir Bouquet Valentine’s Day Headcanons (with their S/O)
Badobarm:
Being the prideful guy that he is, Badobarm would absolutely use this day as a chance to show you off to the whole Noir Continent!
Valentine’s Day quickly becomes “S/O Day”, as the entire continent is decked with pictures of you all over the kingdom.
It’s less of a date, and more of a festival where everybody in town gets to celebrate you and Badobarm’s love.
Sorry to the other happy couples that wanted to celebrate Valentines Day in peace, but under Badobarm’s reign, everything would be center around you on this day.
Your favorite sweets and foods would be made, the ribbons that are plastered around the kingdom are your favorite color, the music that you like would be played all over town hall, and of course, who can forget, the parade float that has you and Badobarm’s face!
You might be thinking that, after all of this, after completely turning over Valentine’s Day and making it to a festival for you, there’s no way, he would actually give you a gift? He did so much already, there’s no way that he would actually give you a gift? Right?
WRONG! But get this, it’s not just Badobarm who is giving you a gift, but the entire town of the Noir Continent! With the amount of gifts that you received, you had no choice but to sit in Badtz-Maru throne, and open every single one of them.
So, yeah, Valentine’s Day turned out to be a bit hectic and kind of overwhelming, but you had fun nonetheless!
And at the end of the day, when everybody went home and the festival is over, Badobarm took you home, and you two had a nice romantic private meal just between the two of you, and in that moment, you couldn’t have asked for anything better
Chaco:
Chaco loves you, don’t get him wrong, but he’s not the most romantic guy on the planet.
He’s very casual and lowkey about it, and his ideal Valentine’s date is to go to Taco Bell, and go to the skate park right after.
Because to him, Valentine’s Day isn’t a big deal to him, sure there’s the aspect of celebrating your love with your loved ones, but also, it’s just a day?
That being said, Chaco would still take you out on Valentines, and you two would spend the day, eating out at fast food places, going to the skate park, and watching a movie at a drive in, you know stuff that you guys usually do on a day to day basis.
As for gifts, Chaco would buy you a skateboard, so the both of you could skate around the park!
Arupek:
Arupek is a simple guy, he’s not one to go all out for Valentine’s Day, he much rather keep the affair private and just spend the day making you happy.
And while, spending Valentine’s Day with a lover is still so new to him, he’s willing to try his best and make this day be memorable for you.
His Valentine’s date plans consist of going to the country club that Pekkle owns, and spending the day, golfing, playing tennis, and going out on a swim, with you.
Pekkle’s country club is one of the most prestigious facilities in the Wing Kingdom (Arupek’s Kingdom), and since you’re dating Pekkle’s right hand knight, it only makes sense that you get treated with the best care in the world.
Arupek has always been someone to prioritizes family, so even though it’s Valentine’s Day, you two ended up spending half the day with the Duck family at Ruby’s (Pekkle’s wife) cottage.
It was kind of chaotic, spending Valentine’s Day with the entirety of Arupek’s close friends and family, but it was still very fun nonetheless.
After you two left Ruby’s cottage, you two went to the lake house, and fed the ducks (Arupek included). It was a cute moment, but unfortunately, you two fed too many ducks, to the point that there was an army of ducks chasing and pecking you for more food, one of the ducks ended up pecking Arupek’s eye.
It was safe to say, you two had to pack up your picnic date, and left to go back to Noir Bouquet, where you had to nurse Arupek’s eye back to health.
Tuxam:
Being the gentleman that he is, Tuxam has been planning on what to do for Valentine’s date, two months in advance!
He wants this day to go absolutely perfect, because a perfect day is exactly what you deserve!
On the day of Valentine’s Day, he ordered a carriage for you two ride around the Noir Continent, which was pretty fun since you never been on anything like that.
Once the carriage ride was finished, Tuxam took you to the, Hello Kitty: Furry Tale Theater, where you watched, Sleeping Kitty. Funnily enough, there was an actor there that resembled Lord Tuxedo Sam to a T….
After the play was finished, you and Tuxam went to a fancy restaurant that was reserved months beforehand, and it was pretty good.
As for gifts, Tuxam presented you a buttload of gifts, ranging from clothes, jewelry, chocolate, but what most stood out to you, was when he gifted you his family pendant.
An ice cream shaped necklace that was passed down to Tuxam’s family from generation to generation. It is his most prized possession, it was gifted to him after he became a knight, like every other man in his family before him, who have served Tuxedo Sam.
Yet, he is giving it away to you, because his pendant was no longer his biggest achievement, it was meeting you, so he thought it would be a better fit in your hands.
Hangyon:
You should be thanking God everyday that Hangyon does not hold the power of being a Bouquet leader, because if he was a Bouquet leader? Badobarm’s “S/O’s Day” would have looked like child’s play next to whatever Hangyon would conjure up.
It wouldn’t even be called “S/O’s Day”, it would have been known as, “S/O’s YEAR”.
Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you want to look at it), Hangyon does not possess the power of turning the entire town over for you, but that won’t stop him and his extravagant tendencies!
Hangyon would throw a ginormous party in your name on Valentine’s Day, he would hire entertainment from all over Fragaria, to come sing and perform at your party, would invite people from outside of Noir Continent, even the SEEDS would be allowed to come!
Hangyon would even call up the Strawberry King to ask him if he could have this party at his castle, to which the Strawberry King, happily obliged.
Being the eccentric man that he is, his gift for you would be to sing you a song that he wrote, in front of the entire continent.
Hangyon would hire both Hapindanbui and his fellow Noir Bouquet members to perform live music at this party, most of which are love songs that are dedicated to you.
The party started from sunrise and it didn’t end till midnight, by that point, you were so tired and partied-out, that once you came in contact with your pillow, you immediately passed out.
It was a good party and way to spend your Valentine’s Day, all things considered, and Hangyon viewed it as a success!
Pikero:
Pikero is very old-school when it comes to romance and Valentine’s Day, he believes that Valentine’s is a private affair between lovers, and all the dramatics and extravaganzas are unnecessary.
With that being said, Pikero isn’t a total stick in the mud, for he believes that a good way to spend the holidays is to keep your heart and your brain pumping, and what better way to do that than a scavenger hunt!
Valentine’s Day started out like any other day, you went to Pikero’s lab to greet him, only Pikero wasn’t there…?
You were met with a white letter on top of his desk, giving you a clue to where he was at. The clues were filled with riddles, math equations, and puzzles for you to figure out his destination.
You practically walked all over the Noir Continent, trying to find him, but every destination that you landed were just met with more puzzles and more clues.
Finally, after the final clue, you were met with Pikero, who was standing in the exact spot that you two first met many months ago, and it was no other than…. Pikero’s lab!
Pikero’s lab looked completely different from how it was that morning, the lights were dimmed, there was a mini table in the middle of the room with a rose and champagne on top of the table, and there were a group of musicians near the table, playing the violin.
You and Pikero danced together all night to the sound of the violins playing, it was a magical and special night, and it transported you to that faithful night you met him, all those years ago.

NEED 2 hear more abt indigenous!amerus….
[AAHHHH oh my goodness, I love this QUESSSTIOONN!! I think--]
to begin, Russia and America have more than 300+ indigenous cultures and languages within their regions. I do not aim to represent them as a monolith nor do my hcs aim to define a solitary native culture as their respective identities. seeing as they are a personification of their countries, I see them as an amalgamation of each culture's traditions.
working off the last post where I reference them speaking Diné and Koryak:
they began speaking these languages to each other in the early 1800s because of how close they were growing as friends. seriously, Fort Ross (aka Metini as named by the Pomo indigenous people of the region) was a Russian settlement established in California that existed to trade only with Americans. Alfred and Ivan used this settlement to get to know each other better and truly appreciate their indigenous identity over the revered status of their caucasian colonial overseers (Fort Ross was actually funded by an imperialist company so pls assume cultural diffusion is the only good thing they did; I only ref it as a point in history that connects their indigeneity as Siberian, Alaskan, and American natives all passed through this fort). It started off as a means to better interact with each other's people but then they began communicating exclusively with each other,,, and then it became more intimate,, y'know.
they would often hunt together (and al absolutely knocked it outta the park) but ivan would help him with preparing fur pelts (as koryaki or aleut/inuk culture exceeded at making coats and it was the largest trade in FR).
Native American and Siberian and Inuit/Inuk peoples in early history were IN LOVE with astronomy (and i'd say the pioneers of astronomy as a science)! this is where both Ame and Rus acquired their appreciation for space, and of course, the number one thing they geek tf out about together. space is not simply their hyper-fixation, but a part of everything they do. they plan ceremonies in kamchatka by the arrangement of the stars (specifically the Pleiades, or aka sakiattiak (Inuit) or coyote's daughters (Paiute)) because it is the origin of indigenous life. they camp out in chaco canyon at every equinox to stargaze.
they don't stay 'I love you' to each other. however, they do cook each other the most elaborate and appreciative meals: venison with cowberry sauce, smoked omul, cajun salmon, frybread (NAVAJO TACOS 4EVER) w all sorts of toppings, and BEEF JERKY! they prepare the best beef jerky in the whole darn tootin world!!!
Ivan is the singer in this boy band and Alfred is the dancer (and drummer tbh). Ivan is downright gifted in throat singing and could perform the dance of the seagulls with one stoli bottle and half a bar of alenka chocolate in his system. alfred can belt out while drumming, there's no doubt-- but I can tell you right now that he is DEADLY with his men's traditional dance. tbh, he wins 1000+ seduction points with Ivan when he dances lol
THEY CREATE FOR EACH OTHER. when they hunt, they use every bone in that sacred creature's body to make each other charms, knives, bracelets, rings, little beads for beaded jewelry--
AND BOY DO THEY BEAD!! ivan's regalia is comprised of reindeer skin and beads, and al will go 40 hrs straight sewing them on for him as well as making his headbands and jingle bells (he's a pattern whizz). al is more of a boujee native, so Ivan freaking obliges him so much that he will bead the most beautiful earrings, chains and medallions you have ever seen (he is a design whizz-- also alfred begged him for one with the vegas knights to brag to his bro about cause STANLEY CUP RAAAAH!!)

El domingo a la madrugada, venía por la ruta 11 desde Corrientes hacia Formosa y, como era de esperarse, mi pobre y destartalado FIAT 600 se rompió. Me tiré a la banquina esperando que alguien me auxiliara y a los 10 minutos apareció un Mercedes Benz Kompressor impresionante a 190 km/h pasando frente a mi. En eso veo que el tipo del Mercedes da marcha atrás y vuelve hasta el fitito. Ahí mismo se ofrece a remolcar mi pobre porquería y acepté enseguida, pero le pedir por favor que no corriera mucho, si no mi Fiat y yo, íbamos a ir a parar al carajo (obvio). Y combinamos que le iba a hacer luces cada vez que el Mercedes estuviera yendo más rápido de lo aconsejado. Entonces, el Mercedes comenzó a remolcarme, y siempre que se zarpaba con la velocidad, le hacía luz (lo pongo en singular, porque para variar, uno de ellas estaba en corto y no funcionaba). .... En eso, aparece un Porsche Carrera GT 2, negro, polarizado, fachero mal, que intimida al Mercedes. Éste no deja que lo forreen y va: 120, 130,150, 190, 210, 240, 260 km/h!!!! Yo ya estaba desesperado y desfigurado!!! .... Haciendo luces como loco!!!! ... y los otros dos locos a la par.....y a fondo, al taco!!!!! ......... Por ahí, pasamos por un puesto de Policía Caminera del Chaco, pero...ni vi el radar, que registró impresionantes 270 km/h. Entonces el policía avisa por radio al próximo puesto de Gendarmeria en Tatane: Atención! Atención! ... Dos masculinos, uno en un Mercedes Gris Plata Kompressor y otro en un Porsche Carrera GT 2 Negro disputando una picada a más de 270 km/h en la autopista, y......muchachos.....juro por mi vieja .. por mis hijos y por mi laburo, por diego, dalma y giannina: Atrás de ellos, chupado al Mercedes, viene un FIAT 600 haciéndoles luces para que lo dejen PASARRRRRR!

RIP Chaco taco forever. Snickers is also such a good choice. I do love the strawberry crunch bar well.
The strawberry crunch bar reminds me of Jr. High when we could order them in a vendor machine haha

We regret to inform you....
We regret to inform you….
Klondike has announced that it will no longer produce the Chaco Taco after nearly 40 years in production. Klondike explained that the company has “experienced an unprecedented spike in demand across our portfolio” and that it had to make “very tough decisions to ensure availability of our full portfolio nationwide.” However, not all hope is lost for its return. “We’ve heard our fans, and we’re…

My partner and I were living in a small, dingy apartment. It was nighttime and we could see the grocery store from across the street so we decided to walk to it to pick up some stuff.
We went to go pay and I decided, despite the fact that it's cold, I wanted some ice cream. My partner said I could go find some so I wandered off.
Went through the registers thinking maybe they sold ice cream in those little fridges.
I ran into a young, cute, East Indian girl working the cash register where she sold Chaco Tacos (those were discontinued though), but in order to get one, I had to ask her and she looked very busy with a long line.
Unfortunately there's a gap in my memory at this part. I somehow ended up in one of those registers near the front entrance of the store. The one that sells lotto tickets and cigarettes.
There were a couple young Black men. One worked behind the register and his friend. The friend was really tall, like 6' 4".
The smaller man asked me if I was not fully White to which I laughed nervously and said "yeah, Hispanic on my mom's side."
He told me I should be careful. I can't go around acting and doing stuff like I'm White.
I laughed again, putting a hand to my head. "Oh no, am I that clockable?" ("Clockable" mostly being used in the context for being visibly trans, but I guess my brain thought it transferred to being White Passing.)
Smaller Black man told me yeah and I should be careful for racists. I told him I would and walked away to find my ice cream.
Ended up in the clearance section and found a bunch of interesting cereal with popular cartoon characters on popular children's cereal. I thought about getting some, but nothing really stood out to me.
There were also some Spider-man toys for a reduced price but nothing I really wanted.
Eventually I found the frozen foods section and circled around, dodging people and trying to find something I might like. I circled around twice each aisle, one to see the shelves and one to see the small crates carrying single ice cream bars, but nothing I really wanted.
Finally, I found myself at the very back of the store where they held an aquarium and zoo. The lights were really dark except for the lights used in the displays. All the animals were kept behind glass.
I first saw the baby tapirs. I only saw the one and cooed at it. Then another who was sleeping in the sand popped out and started wrestling the first the way puppies do.
Then I spotted a big shark. Sized between a Great White and a Megalodon. It was massive with a big jaw that seemed to swallow everything. There were little fish in its path and all it needed to do was open up and the fish fell in.
Next I saw what I can only describe as a giant black dog swimming in the tank. It had one of those old man faces and was covered in seaweed. It was a strange creature and I tried to get closer to the display to read more about it, but several children blocked the way. I decided I'd take a few photos instead but instead of using my camera, I had this... Tube of water? With a + button on it and it was very difficult to press the button. And because it was so dark all the photos were blurry. I got frustrated because I knew no one would believe I saw the strange dog.
I think there was also a giant squid in the tank.
Soon, the lights in the store started to dim, signalling it was closing time.
I panicked and headed for the exit and then I woke up.

I’m fucking exhausted and I miss camp more than just about anything so here is a specific list of things i miss:
waking up extra early even on my day off to have The Secret Stash Of Good Coffee™️ and exchanging light gossip with my bff the head cook
the dewy feel of an early morning at Flag when the sky is perfectly blue and there’s no clouds and it’s not 100 degrees yet
6pm when there’s about to be a storm and the sun is streaming through dark purple clouds
dusk and walking back to the unit after the last campfire of the summer when people are crying through inside jokes
Linger.
the excitement in the boat house before getting everyone onto paddle boards
flirting with the lifeguard during swim time
grilled cheese day
polar bear plunge mornings when it’s still cold enough to wear a big sweatshirt and socks with sandals
going on Taps and not getting into town until 9pm, coming back super late with Dutch Bros for the next day
gossiping in the band aid station with the door closed
how good it feels to lay on the concrete floor after check out
hammocking at my favorite unit when the kids are camping on the beach
how bittersweet the last day feels
post camp diet cokes
yoga on the lawn when it’s about to rain
sleeping on a tarp waking up in yesterday’s clothes
the stars on the walk up the big hill
bats flying over the dock
baby moon
your friends picking you up in the gator to ride around for fun
late night talks in the empty amphitheater
camp coffee
“wanna go to walmart and taco bell?”
NAPS ON THE STAFF LOUNGE COUCH
making your bead necklace
CIT 2
obligatory parent trap movie night
when a camper writes you a note or draws you a picture
when campers who aren’t in your unit know who you are
dad shirt tuesday
taking the internationals to walmart for the first time
the ungodly sexual tension of post camp
jumping into the lake fully clothed
bread clips
staff inside jokes that last past precamp
designing the staff sweatshirt
long weekend road trips
my “mr. right” and “mrs. always right” mugs that i thrifted for 50 cents each
comparing chaco tans
camp goggles
old national geographic magazines in the craft room
announcements
wilder biffing
marmots
cold showers
blaring the beastie boys on your walk back to the unit in the dark to scare off the coyotes
when someone brings their dog to check in
girl scout cookie s’mores
walking tacos for vegetarians (refried beans in a bag of fritos)
giving the kiddos two extra hours of swim time (lovingly named “vibe o’clock on the dock)
my camp best friend
letting the kids cover me in paint, ranch, ketchup, spaghetti noodles, baked beans, and shaving cream
singing on the table at the last breakfast
convincing brownies that i’m 547 years old
thunderstorms and the sound of rain on cabin roofs
finding frogs
being the one to carry on an old tradition that you learned from your favorite staff member as a child

Goslib I need to know your thoughts on the Chaco taco being discontinued.
Super sad about it! Reminds me of going to Taco John's when I was little with my mom and brother and we'd get a six pack and a pound and chaco tacos for dessert!
