₊✩‧₊⇢ had a depressive episode yesterday and just whipped this up to feel better. a little selfshipy but is suitable for anyone 💕

『 ෆ k.bakugo x fem!reader 』

“C’mere already,” Katsuki calls from his bed, arms outstretched as he lays on his back. “I’m not gonna ask again.”

You comply, stalking over from the doorway and crawling across the sheets into his embrace, face snug against his chest. He sighs into your hair, planting a few soft kisses onto the top of your head.

“Ya look like you needed some love, peach.”

It’s almost scary how well Katsuki can read your emotions. You hadn’t even told him that you were feeling down, he just knew by your mannerisms.

“How’d you know?” You ask sheepishly. You’d gotten to his apartment a few hours ago…how’d he read you so quickly? Well, it could have been that you showed up in sweatpants and his hoodie - your go-to comfort, low energy outfit.

“I jus’ do. ‘S like a sixth sense.”

“That’s for ghosts, dummy,” you giggle while idly fiddling with the material of his shirt.

You can practically hear the grin in his reply. “Got ya ‘ta laugh, didn’t it?” He gives you a light squeeze and kisses your forehead.

How can two people be so connected? It often left you wondering how you’ve gotten so lucky to have someone like Katsuki around, let alone adore and love you with his entire being.

“Any dinner requests?” He asks, shaking you out of your train of thought. “Y’gotta be hungry, I haven’t seen ya eat all day.”

You pull back from his embrace and pinch his cheek, bringing your lips to his for a gentle kiss. “Oh, is Chef Bakugo taking requests now?”

“Not if you’re gonna heckle me about it. And it’s Chef Dynamight, get it right!” he retorts with a huff.

“Whatever you were gonna make, I’m fine with.”

Katsuki sits up, releasing you from his hold and scoots to the edge of the bed. He motions for you to follow him.

Once the two of you are in the kitchen, he grabs you by the waist and tugs you over to an empty section of the countertop. Effortlessly, he picks you up and sits you on the marble. Katsuki shimmies between your legs, one hand on each thigh as he graces you with a sweet smile - a rare sight.

“Ya don’t gotta do anythin’, sweets. Your job is to look pretty while I cook for you, ‘kay?” He gives you a quick peck on the lips and pats your thighs before turning toward the cabinet to grab his cutting board and spices.

For the next hour, you silently watch Katsuki prep dinner for the two of you. He’s decided to make a chicken curry, one of your favorites, all from scratch. He’s got the sauce simmering on the stove while cutting up the vegetables and potatoes. You’ve tucked your legs up to your chest, resting your head on your knees as you watch him in his element, bouncing between tasks without breaking his concentration. Before Katsuki tosses the peppers he’s cut into the pot, he pops a small piece into his mouth and offers you one as well. You take it from him without hesitation - he loves to have you taste test and sample anything involving his cooking, even if it’s just a simple bell pepper.

After another 15 minutes passes, the ding! of the rice maker signals that everything is ready to eat. You slide off the counter and skip over to grab plates when Katsuki scoops you up by the waist from behind, bunching the hoodie up your midsection.

“Oh no ya don’t! Sit your stubborn ass down an’ let me get it.”

You sigh in defeat, closing the cabinet as he whisks you out of the kitchen and plops you onto the couch in the living room. Within a few minutes, Katsuki reappears with two full plates of curry. He sets them both on the coffee table and turns to grab the blanket off the back of the couch, unfolding it to drape over your legs.

He does a double take around the room while grabbing the TV remote. “Need anythin’ else, baby?”

You shake your head, responding with a soft “no.”

Katsuki joins you under the blanket and hands you your plate from the table. He settles in next to you, turning on a mindless reality show before kicking his feet up on the table and leaning into you - blissfully sinking into the cushions.

“This shit is so fuckin’ stupid, but it’s fun to hear the wild commentary you do,” Katsuki quips with a laugh. “Like how the fuck do these people even breathe on their own?”

“Beats me, and yet they’re richer than we’ll ever be,” you joke, digging into your curry with a satisfying hum.

Katsuki kisses you on the cheek before returning to his curry, fascinated with the stupidity of the reality show. He knows you’re thankful, never expecting a verbal ‘thank you’ in times like these. Your smile and laugh, along with the return of the twinkle in your eyes, was enough for him.

I have a silly request that you may or may not enjoy.

Fem!Yuu who came from a long line of chefs and can make just about anything. From quiche to raspberry tarts to katsu sandwiches. She of course decides to share her skills in the form of making each of her friends a different bento catering to their tastes.

When asked why, she simply states that she cares about them and wants to see them well fed. Cue the marriage proposals.

~Okay, I can do that. Not for ever character of course because I have no time. Just allow me my personal flavor.~

"The way to a man's heart"

(part 2 here) (part 3) (part 4)

Characters featured:Azul, Jamil, Ace, Deuce, Malleus, Vil, Idia, and versus staff

"Remeber sweetheart, the way to a man's heart is though his stomach. That's how I got your Baba. It's is also a measurement of love, a good dish is made with 3 cups of love and 4 tablespoons of care and 1 liter of dedication."

Yuu had those words etched in her mind since childhood. Every dish she made was filled with the TLC her family required for the perfect dish.

But being the youngest I such a line meant that she had never had many people outside of the family try her foods.

Mama, Baba, Ye ye, and Lola didn't lie; but they didn't want to hurt her feelings.

So Yuu couldn't help but tremble when she handed the two lunch boxes to Ace and Deuce. It was just before lunch time when she presented them before quickly running off.

She ran to the quad and hid behind an apple tree.

Her plan was to let them eat the lunches and later go to retrieve the boxes to get a review. They wouldn't feel pressured to say anything nice and Yuu would know how she did.

And if they like her cooking then they could be super close and eat lunch like this everyday!

But if they hate it then they might not. They might get mad and never talk to her again.

"Are you trying to poison me? What kind of girl doesn't know how to cook something so basic" Ace would say tossing away her lunch.

"It's not too bad, if it's your first time. I just don't think your cut out to be a chef." Deuce would say turning green.

Yuu managed to make herself depressed from her own imagination as she hid. Her wild imagination tended to get the better of her.

"Hey, Yuu! If you wanted to eat here just say so." Ace said standing behind her with lunch box still in hand.

"It's not a bad spot either. We should eat here more often. It's quieter." Said Deuce next to him.

Yuu internally screamed as they sat to eat. She focused on their every facial expression as they ate.

Ace had Monte Cristo sandwich with a summer fruit salad. He seemed to really like the dip for the sandwich.

Deuce had a simple fried egg sandwich with bacon, and cheese. There was a bit of blueberry jam on the side for the bread.

While the boys ate Yuu didn't notice that they eyed each others food and quickly ate theirs to see if they steal form the other. They guarded their lunch like dogs.

Yuu saw this and her eyes lit up believing they really loved her food. Eagerly she waited for them to finish so she could ask.

"Do you like it?!" Yuu asked

The boys after staring each other down heaped praise on her and asked her to make lunch again.

It became a regular thing as they were already spoiled by Yuu and she loved her first taste testers.

With Yuu reassured of her skills came another challenge. He insatiable need to share her food.

"Good food makes for good company and friends." Ye ye always said.

Food is meant to be shared and it was good for the soul. Many souls in this school needed to be fed. Maybe they'd calm down a little.

So she started supplying her friends with homemade food.

Yuu waited patiently for Jamil after basketball practice with a hefty lunch box. It was buttered chicken curry with jasmine rice. It had a side of vegetable sauté. And of course an after practice energy drink.

She had patted herself on the back for this one. She wanted to impress Jamil.

As she walked along the side of the court she offered Jamil the drink. He took it great fully before eyeing the lunch box suspiciously.

"I made you something to eat. I though you might want something to eat you didn't make yourself for once." Yuu said suddenly self conscious.

Floyd must have heard because he rudly began interrupting.

"Oh, sea snake is are so lucky! I want a shrimpy wife to cook for me too!" He whined loudly.

The "Ooo"'s that came from the other basketball club members made Jamil's ears turn red.

"Shut up Floyd!" Yuu yelled at him with her face burning.

"I'm sorry Yuu. You know how guys are. Thank you for doing this for me." Jamil said quietly trying to hid his face.

"It's no problem Jamil. I really wanted you to try this." Yuu said softly.

Just as she said this Jamil looked over his shoulder to the the boys laughing before leaning down and kissing Yuu's forehead.

"I wanted to thank you properly." Jamil said smiling before leaving to sit down to eat with Yuu.

She was an amazing cook and it felt good to be cooked for. It reminded him of when he didn't need to care for Kalim.

"I wish I could eat this everday." Jamil said absent-minded.

Yuu's eays widened before laughing. He didn't mean it. Right?

There were times Yuu casually dropped off dishes.

Korean barbecue for Epel

Ratatouille for Rook

Fresh baked pie for Silver

None of this escaped Vil's notice who wondered why Yuu never came around to give him anything. I wasn't as if he didn't eat.

Though if memory serves he has turned his nose up at certain foods around her. She probably didn't want to be told her food wasn't good enough.

To Vil it didn't matter, if she was a chef she should know her customers tastes. Never mind that he wasn't a customer nor was she being paid to cook, his feeling were hurt.

But as luck would have it Yuu didn't forget him.

"Vil-sama! Here!" Yuu practically bubbled with energy was she leaned over Pomefiore's kitchen counter.

Epel was currently face deep in a slice of apple-apricot pie. and ice cream.

Vil hoped that she wasn't expecting him to eat that as he wouldn't have that much gusto. He didn't have the heart to lecture Epel on manners with Yuu around but he had no problem after she was gone so he better injoy it while he can.

"Try some." Yuu held out a cup of green liquid.

Yuu held out a cup of green tea with a palte of fresh sushi.

"Traditional green tea doesn't go well with heavy or greasy foods so I made some simple salmon sushi to help clean your palette." Yuu said smiling.

Vil took a sip and smiled at her.

"It's good. I wish I could drink this every morning." Vil said eating a piece of sushi.

Yuu turned pink as she quickly excused herself.

Azul was the greediest of her friends. He loved trying new foods but especially fried chicken.

Azul eagerly awaited when Yuu entered the lounge with food in hand. They would eat in his office as Azul would try to trick Yuu into working hin the kitchen.

Even though he was trying to convince her to work for him the job offer was as a personal chef because he didn't want to share. Another reason she didn't agree.

"I just want to eat with you everyday." He said slyly over his Frutti di Mare. "Don't you want to eat with me too?"

Yuu bit the inside of her cheek as she turned red.

"Azul that's not funny. Don't say that unless you mean it." Yuu said stiffly.

"But I do mean it. Cross my heart." Azul said more earnestly but Yuu quickly said goodbye and fled. Azul was left confused.

The next day Yuu spent lunch hiding in the teacher's lounge. She was allowed to as Crewel's pseudo daughter and bringing lunch.

Crewel dug into his beef stroganoff as he listened to Yuu's concerns.

"I don't know what to do! Pa, I can't face them again!" Yuu panicked her hands waving frantically.

"Slow down my pup. What happened." Crewel said unfazed by Yuu's familiar. She's expressive he'll give her that.

"Jamil, Vil and Azul asked to marry me!" Yuu shouted before slapping a hand over her mouth. Blabber mouth.

(telling someone you want to eat their cooking or drink their tea everyday could be considered a proposal. I just happens that in Yuu's family that how they propose marriage traditionally.)

There was a sharp spitting sound from across the room as Sam burst out laughing making seafood gumbo splattered.

"Congratulations, sugar! I always knew you were a charmer. It's no wonder all the boys want you!" Sam laughed.

"It's highly inappropriate. You're all to young to even think of such things." Trein said stiffly as he put down his spoon and stopped eat his potage parmentier.

Divus stared blanky before asking again. Crowley would raise hell over this if he didn't do it first. His puppy can't get married. Not yet.

Yuu found herself at ease after it was explained that people don't propose that way here.

Feeling better she waited late for her nightly walk with Malleus. She made a late night snack of soft madelines and a thermos of cinnamon hot chocolate.

Malleus was more then happy to accept her gift. They sat in glen snacking before Malleus spoke up.

"I heard you are getting engaged." He said drinking hot chocolate

"No I'm not." Yuu sighed because of course he heard.

"I see, so they were all unacceptable. Please consider me an option then. I would happily marry you and eat with you everyday!" Malleus said taking Yuu's hand and getting on one knee.

Yuu almost fainted in shock.

'Papa you lied!'

(Bonus)

"Idia please come out! I brought you some Gyros." Yuu called out from behind the door.

Yuu had been working hard to lure Idia outside and was making progress. Soon enough Idia will be eating in the cafeteria before he knows it.

It was like getting a feral cat socialized as Idia cautiously opened the door. He knew to be wary of Yuu's offerings but like the call of a harpy he does as she wants. Everyday she lures him further away from his safe space.

"I made some tortoise candies last night." Yuu said holding the golden lollipop.

Idia would have to steel himself for this one.

SIX

SIX MINUTES

It's been six minutes since I drank the Elixir. Six minutes since the delicious pink liquid flowed down my throat and I felt my body begin to change into a better one.

How can I describe the transformation?

Well - it feels strange to feel your bones shift and pop inside your body as your skin tightens and your genitalia shrink to nothing. Even the lengthened hair on my head and the longer feminine nails I now have on my tiny hands feel strange. My cute hairless body is smoother, softer and far more appealing than it used to be. I'm a girl now.

No... not just a girl... a pretty girl. True I'm still wearing my blue hoodie and I don't have any make up on, but even in these clothes, I look beautiful. I can feel the jealous stares of my mates.

True I gave them a bit of a show a moment ago as I lost control of myself whilst I changed. My friends had to watch in shocked fascination as I touched my body and moaned in pleasure. They could never understand how fucking good it felt to have tits growing on my chest and a pussy opening between my legs.

I wasn't embarassed about moaning like a slut - in fact I'm still not embarassed now. I've never felt more confident - the Elixir has made me feel so good. I can't believe I'm no longer a boy - but it's like I don't even care.

The others were all too chicken shit to try it. We found the instructions in an old book at my friend Daniel's house. His girlfriend was out - and me and the other lads were round for a curry, so we cooked up the Elixir and I agreed to try it.

With amazing success.

Acording to the book the transformation lasts just over six hours. I better not waste anytime then...

SIX HOURS

It's amazing how much more feminine wearing the right clothes and doing my hair and makeup, make me look and feel now I'm a girl.

Due to my lack of experience - I just decided to tie my hair up, put on a tiny bit of mascara and lipstick and wear something feminine - but kinda simple. When I learn more about being a girl, I can start to really have fun - but right now it's baby steps.

Daniel's girlfriend was luckily about the same size as I was... petite and a 34D bra size and I was able to help myself to things from her room to complete my new look. I'll have to get my own things eventually, but for now I'll steal what I can from her.

Daniel is still here, but the other guys went home, I think probably to jerk off thinking about turning into a hot girl themselves. They promised not to tell anyone about our little experiment. I don't trust them of course, which is why I burned the pages of the book when no one was watching. Now the only record of how to make the Elixir exists in a password protected encrypted file I just uploaded to the cloud.

I can imagine them all cock in hand stroking it off as they imagine coming back tomorrow to make more Elixir and getting to become a hot girl. I can't wait to see their faces when they realise this power is now mine alone.

Mmmmh, all those boys jerking off. I don't blame them. Boy am I fucking horny too. Horny in a way that I've never been before. My new body has needs and Daniel is looking kinda hot to me right now.

I like the way his eyes follow me... it makes me feel powerful. I have so much control over him now I'm pretty. He's desperate to please me - even though he has a girlfriend.

I walk over to Daniel and kiss him. He is surprised at first, perhaps confused... but as he leans into my body and tastes my sweet pink lips, his inhibitions fade.

"It's not really cheating Dan," I whisper. "It's not like I'm a real girl. She'll never know. I don't have long and I just need to know what it feels like..."

His hungry hands are soon all over my body, and I have his stiffening cock in my tiny hands.

I've never held another guys cock in my hands before. Daniel's is bigger than mine... well bigger than mine when I actually have one.

It's hard and enticing, so I lick the tip and taste his precum. Then - like it's the most natural thing in the world I pop it into my mouth and begin to suck.

I never thought I'd be sucking a cock, but now I'm female it doesn't bother me like it would. I'm a little clumsy at first (guess I'll need more practice) but after a few minutes of sucking and slurping I hear Daniel cry out and he cums in my mouth.

His load is salty, not unpleasant, so I swallow it all.

I think we are finished but then he then asks me if I want him to eat me out. Turns out I do.

Soon I am lying back on his bed with his eager tongue lapping at my pink pussy. I play with my tits as he tongue fucks me and soon I am having my first female orgasm.

"Ohhhhhh fuckkkkk," I gasp in my sexy girls voice as stars swim in front of my eyes and I shake and convulse helplessly. "That's mmmmh soooo fucking good."

My horniness is abated for now - Daniel looks a little disappointed when I put my clothes back on - perhaps he was hoping I'd fuck him. He is also clearly stricken with guilt.

"Don't worry - I won't say anything to her," I giggle.

That's enough for one day. I can feel the Elixir starting to wear off. My hair is shortening and my body becoming masculine again.

It's been the best six hours of my life and I know I now need more.

SIX DAYS

It's been six days since I first took the Elixir and my journey into femininity continues to be the greatest experience of my life.

After turning back into my male self earlier this week - I was left with a feeling of emptiness, shame and fear. Male me was shocked and upset by what I'd done as a girl and worried about what I might do again.

He and Daniel could barely talk to each other. Stupid boys - what's a little dick sucking between friends? It's not like his girlfriend would ever know.

Despite his reluctance - the urge to try the Elixir again was too strong so it was only a matter of time before I drank it again and transformed into this superior version of me.

I say superior because I AM superior. As a man, I'm almost a nobody - but female me gets all the love and attention a hot pretty girl deserves. I'm smarter, more confident and less naive as a girl. I understand the way the world really works.

I had unlocked something in myself that needed time to play out. I and now I was going to have to live two lives. That would not be easy. So I invented a story.

Only my friends and Daniel knew the real story - but to everyone else I would tell a lie that my male half had been struck by a terrible illness that kept me confined to the house. My female alter-ego would masquerade as my 'sister' come home to help look after me. Luckily I live alone.

It was not a perfect cover story and there were plenty of gaps but it would hopefully allow me to keep taking the Elixir.

My male half works from home anyway, so I was able to keep earning - but for the present time I would only go out as my female half.

I took some vacation time - and this allowed me to get used to being female.

I spent six hours a day as a girl, using the Elixir to transform. Each time the change was quicker and I felt instantly more ME. It was like switching between two channels on a TV.

I decorated a room to be MY bedroom and began to immerse myself in girl culture. I had a lot of catching up to do - what I really needed was some female friends to learn from.

Daniel was shocked when I demanded he introduce me to his girlfriend. He wanted to refuse and I actually had to blackmail him into agreeing. I also gave him another blowjob... this time he came even harder.

With carrot and stick deployed, Daniel gave in and told Lucy I was his mates sister new in town and I didn't know anyone. She was only too happy to help the new girl.

Lucy and I hit it off straight away. She introduced me to her friends and soon through networking, I was one of the girls.

Six days in and I was already bossing it as a girl. I now had a room, a growing collection of clothing and makeup, a convicing cover story and best of all a group of girlfriends.

I am good at getting what I wanted from others. It makes me all tingly to think about how easily I am playing everyone.

Manipulating people is kind of fun.

SIX WEEKS

My tight black designer dress drew the stares and attention of all the men in the hotel as I walked to the counter to check out. I fucking loved the attention - I could tell they all wanted me.

Upstairs in the room Daniel was still lying on the bed, spent by our hours of lovemaking. He had fucked me like a slut and we had finished with me grinding on top of him and in control - just as I liked it.

Looking down into his eyes I had made him tell me he loved me as I slid his cock up and down into my tight pussy.

He was all mine now.

But he meant nothing to me at the same time. In fact whilst Daniel had moaned and grunted beneath my thrusting hips... his cock deep inside my pussy - I'd even had time to Whatsapp Lucy and arrange to meet her later.

It was strange to think that only six weeks ago Daniel and I had an entirely platonic relationship. Now he was having an affair with me whilst his girlfriend believed me to be her new bestie.

I knew that sooner or later the truth would probably come out - but I didn't care. Lucy was starting to bore me anyway. I'd learned all I could from her and her insipid friends.

As for Daniel. He was hopelessly addicted to me - but I had no intention of fucking him for much longer anyway. He was just a training exercise - helping me to learn how to fuck a man right. Now I knew how to use my pussy as a weapon - there were richer and hotter guys in my sights.

I wanted bigger dick. Maybe a black guy? A rich black guy who could make me his trophy slut.

It had begun to occur to me that I was not a very nice person. In fact I was actually a fucking bitch. My male half sure seemed to think so anyway. He kept leaving me tormented messages begging me to stop ruining Daniel's life, manipulating people and acquiring material possessions.

I actually got turned on listening how nasty I was and I rubbed my clit till I came.

Being evil felt so fucking hot.

In return to my alter ego, I left him messages calling him a loser and telling him if he hated me so much to stop taking the Elixir. I knew he wouldn't. He was addicted to being me. It was just too bad I didn't have a way to get rid of him. Unlike him - I'd take it.

Yes - if only there was a way I could be rid of the fucking loser and take complete control of this life. I had noticed that after six weeks of use, my transformations would now sometimes last eight to ten hours. Maybe with further use I would gain more and more time?

I just need to keep on taking the Elixir and enjoying every minute of being a hot blonde spoiled mean bitch. In fact I need to get worse.

Eventually there would only be me... my victory was inevitable.

No one is going to get in my way.

SIX MONTHS

It was a shame what happened to Daniel. I wonder if he'll ever wake up?

Hit and runs happen all the time, but they never did find the driver who left him in a coma and it seemed almost targeted.

It was about the same time my new hotter boyfriend bought me a brand new car. He was a rapper with plenty of cash to spare and he even arranged for my old car to be scrapped for me.

Of course his mental state had become rather unhinged. He had taken our breakup badly... he seemed to blame me for Lucy leaving him and he kept threatening to tell everyone about the Elixir and 'expose me.'

Then sadly he had his accident.

My new boyfriend never did ask about the dents in the bonnet of my old car or why I asked his guys to threaten and shake down all of Daniel's old friends.

Of course my new man knew nothing about my 'condition'. If he ever asked why I seemed to shave my legs more than other girls and took a vial of pink liquid daily - he never asked.

I'm sure he had some suspicions, but I was his bitch and he sure didn't care when his big black dick was stretching my tight pussy out. As he came inside me again and again he whispered the words 'I love you' again and again to me and I knew I owned his soul now.

In fact the bastard had nearly got control the night I followed Daniel and...

After six months of constant use I now had total control of my body and mind. I could stil feel male me in there somewhere, but he was subdued.

Still all it would take is one day when I forgot to drink Elixir and he might fight back.

Well best not to think about that in case it brought him to the surface.

I was still confident that eventually he would cease to be a problem entirely... it just needed a little time.

SIX YEARS

My husband tells me I don't look a day older than when he first met me six years ago, but then again with the amount of work I can have done - staying young looking won't be an issue.

Not that I need it yet. Even though I've given birth twice (although neither Chantelle or Dior were difficult births) I DO look great.

Here I am again at Paris fashion week - my own line of clothes being modelled on the runway.

Much has changed in six years. For a start I haven't taken the Elixir for over a year now. That chapter of my life ended long ago.

Daniel never woke up. They switched him off eventually and I sent a condolence card to his family. Lucy and I made up though - I convinced her it was him who seduced me. We still keep in touch from time to time.

I'm now a celebrity. I got my break through the leaked sex-tapes I 'accidentally' leaked online of me fucking my famous husband.

Now I'm a social media darling and a fashionista. I'm a ruthless heartless bitch, so the media world suits me. No one dares get on my bad side and I ALWAYS get what I want.

I'm rich, bitchy and pretty and I feel pretty fucking good about it.

Anyway my new line of clothing is bound to be a great success. I named it after my favourite number. It's become something of a lucky charm for me.

Can you guess what number?

Yeah - you guessed it. Of course... it's six.

THE END

Sevika's tastes

Sevika is an old lady and she just wants to be left alone. She likes to look good but when it comes to clothes, Miss thing just doesn’t care that much. She always has practicality in mind. So, no dresses, nothing flowy, has to have natural fabrics so that her skin can breathe, and she requires that things are comfortable. Her shoes are always made for hardware with a strong sole and often reinforced. In the modern world, I see her working in metal working (specifically welding), so she has to have clothes that are multipurpose. Though, if she was forced to wear anything really nice, it would be a simple well-cut blazer and a button down with jeans or slacks that conform to her legs nicely. She prefers earthy colors, nothing too flashy. I think she’d really appreciate a nice dark green, or perhaps brown. I also feel that she would enjoy a nice flannel regularly.

With food, I’m afraid her palette is as unrefined as her clothing choices. She genuinely does not care what she eats, though she really likes chicken- loves hot wings, spicy food is her love. But, her comfort food will always be the food native to what part of India her family is from. I don’t think she’s the best cook, but she has a few family recipes that she knows so well (aloo gobi, chai, samosa, tikka masala, saag paneer). And, I think that on nights where she’s feeling really sad or lonely she always craves those foods. She’d love to cook with or for her partner, it’d be the best way to get to know her honestly. Because it allows for her to show vulnerability through actions and without words. She loves to take care of people and I think in modern times she’d mother her friends just a bit, always making sure they’re eating well, drinking their water, and sleeping right (if not she’ll give them some chai). She doesn’t eat beef or dark meats in general, and she isn’t the biggest fan of seafood or turkey. So, she sticks with her chicken and her paneer. She’ll eat tofu but it needs to be in curry or something similar.

This woman would love 80s hair metal, music is something that I genuinely believe she’d love so much. She’d play drums as a teenager, dead set on becoming the drummer of the next Metallica. She’d also love the old school heavy metal bands, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Black Sabbath, Pantera. She’d love them all. I think she’d like some old school 90s rap too, but none of the new-age mumble rap that’s going on. She wouldn’t really like Taylor Swift’s music, just because it didn’t vibe with her, but she respected Taylor’s ability to get a bag. She has had a huge crush on Adele ever since she heard the album 25 when it came out. She liked some of her music, but thought Adele was drop dead gorgeous and all mature and soulful and shit, hit her in the feels and made her whipped for this woman she didn’t even know.

For movies she loves shitty 80s slasher horror, nothing that makes her think. She’d sit back in her old recliner in her pajamas and house slippers whilst watching Slumber Party Massacre for the third time, and then put on Golden Girls because she feels that Dorothy Zbornak is her spirit animal. She likes a good sitcom too and a ridiculous drama (she loves Desperate Housewives), she likes the camp, the over the top acting and dumb plots, it makes her laugh and feel care free in a way she hasn’t been in a long time. She just wants to curl up with her pets (she would have many) and watch teen-based tv shows that revolve around crime or secrets (Pretty Little Liars, Riverdale, Vampire Diaries, even Buffy etc.). She likes how bad they are, but she gets so invested it’s ridiculous.

For personal scents she’d like more woody, alluring scents that are also kind of sweet. Think Amber by Rag n’ Bone (it smells so good), she doesn’t spray much, just a spritz, it wafts around her just slightly, just enough for women to fall at her feet. Her individual smell wouldn't be overpowering but it would definitely be clear. It’s grounding and soothing. Her sweat stinks though, every time she comes back from the gym, she goes straight to the showers because her own dogs don’t want to come near her b.o.

In general, Sevika is an old woman who couldn’t give less of a shit. She wants to be left alone with her life and her people and chill. Which is why, I feel like she isn’t that opinionated on much unless it’s boundaries or causes she cares about. She just doesn’t have the energy to be bothered with trivial things like which movie to choose for the night, or which restaurant to go to. She is tired and all she wants to do is eat good food with her partner and her pets in a little cottage in the middle of nowhere. She doesn’t like neighbors and she doesn’t like people in her business. She doesn’t need a perfect life, just one that’s hers.

for whatever reason the letters are being weird, it is killing me. Please ignore it.

ok so breakfast for the morning after crazy sex last night right? what meals will they cook for u

Anon. Your brain is beautiful. Thanks for asking!

Lookism boys serving you morning-after breakfast

"I'm ravenous after a night of love-making."

Kicks you out straight after doing the deed

Listen. If these guys don't really care for you, then they're just gonna hump + dump. It's a booty call, don't read too much into it. Bye!

Gun Park, Goo Kim, Samuel Seo, Johan Seong, Vin Jin, Ryuhei Kuroda

Something normal

Jake Kim, Sinu Han: Pancakes with a squirty cream winky face. Eggs with ketchup winky face. Coffee with really shitty winky face. You get the idea. Just anything that he can draw a winky face on tbh.

Zack Lee: A bit healthy and vanilla, granola bowl. But he puts extra care into it! Probably snaps a few pics for his social media to subtly brag about the morning after with you.

Vin Jin: Shockingly shitty cook. Makes you toast and will end up being a blackened lump. He tried.

Eugene: Obviously has the money to spend, but prefers the normalcy and intimacy of a nice breakfast. Maybe something simple like porridge or cereal. It's just a way to extend his time with you.

Eli Jang: Normal, but he's the definition of the below. You're getting Yenna's castoffs.

Logan Lee, Jace Park: For Logan, I can't explain it, but I hc the below. For Jace, it's obvious.

Full banquet, anything and everything

Jay Hong: A gentleman, with a big fat... wallet. Can't cook, but he happily orders in a magnificent spread for you. He will treat you right before, during, and after.

Xiaolong: Lets not think too hard about how this works. Anyway. He prepares EVERYTHING. Home-cooked vibes. Though if there's something you want and it's not there? He will drop everything and run out and get it.

DG: He's a k-pop idol with a figure to look after. Likely something light for him, but he will indulge you with whatever your heart desires.

Gun Park, Goo Kim, Samuel Seo: Orders an entire goddamn 5* buffet if you're tolerable. If.

Whatever~

Vasco Tabasco: Doesn't believe in breakfast foods. Whatever he is craving is acceptable. Curry, spaghetti, fries, fried chicken, fish stew etc.

Daniel Park: Also one to eat whatever. Calories doesn't matter for Big Danel, and Little Daniel will use this as an opportunity to also stuff his face.

Johan Seong: You expect breakfast?! Here's some stale crackers from god knows where.

Warren Chae: Have you seen where he lives? You're getting whatever he can get his hands on but he WILL make it romantic. Everything will be heart shaped and served with a blush.

Ryuhei Kuroda: He doesn't do morning afters. So. This is awkward and weird. How about another round instead?

Goo Kim: This man can do it all. He can be rude, normal, or let his freak flag fly. Cooks you up one of his fave breakfasts.

gangs fave food and drinks 😃

Going with non-canon things here (because what’s the fun in spouting the canon stuff over and over again?)

Bruno Bucciarati

We already know Bruno can’t cook.

His tastebuds are… questionable at best.

Because he thinks he CAN cook.

He really enjoys anything with clams, however.

No one will ever let him handle clams.

All clam sellers?

Wow… they’re suddenly all out of clams for the day.

Bruno can never ever buy clams.

But this man loves them.

Especially with pasta and a white wine sauce.

Favorite drink is water, in all honesty.

Leone Abbacchio

Heavy meals.

A real meat and potatoes man.

Specifically red meat (beef) with a red wine.

Slow roasts are a delight.

But he does not have the mental fortitude to make this.

He eats raw potatoes, instead, to cope.

Bruno has offered to make him a roast.

He politely declines by saying he’s not hungry enough for it.

But if Bruno does make it, he stomachs through it.

Wine drinker confirmed.

Dry reds.

Pannacotta Fugo

A fan of greasy foods or light and fresh foods.

No in-between.

Fritta all the way.

Or a salad.

Fried vegetables are a personal favorite.

But if they’re fresh vegetables, he also will never complain.

Likes to go to the markets early to get fresh vegetables.

Also recruits Narancia in going shopping early in the morning for these vegetable shopping trips.

Tea and coffee drinker.

Likes darker blends.

Narancia Ghirga

Absolute veggie and fruit lover.

He is far from being a picky eater and will eat anything in front of him.

He’s also a soup fiend.

This man loves soup.

Will easily down five bowls of soup in one sitting.

He can stomach Bruno’s cooking but Mista always insists on cooking for him.

Big snacker, too.

Loves orange juice.

But also vibes with cola and apple juice.

Has a restriction on how much cola he’s allowed to drink (per Abbacchio’s rules to make sure he has a healthy enough diet because Narancia WILL suck down an entire carton of soda if he can).

Guido Mista

Seafood dishes.

Fresh tilapia with some parsley, garlic, and lemon.

It’s just a simple delight.

The side is steamed broccoli and linguini in some light olive oil.

Also the worlds pickiest eater.

Not in the sense that he won’t try things.

But if he’s in the mood for something specific, he will only want that specific thing.

Can make himself any dish he wants.

Beverage of choice is white wines, sprite, and occasionally a coke and rum.

Giorno Giovanna

Rice and curry.

It’s his go to because it’s easy and packed full of flavor.

Big root vegetable fan.

Used to only be against red meat but now he doesn’t eat any meat.

However, he does love blackened tofu.

He just wants food that’s packed with flavor and intense.

Also is blind to how bad Bruno’s food is.

He is a tea fan.

Herbal teas in specific.

Trish Una

French cuisine is a favorite.

But if Trish can’t have that, she settles for most pasta dishes.

A very picky eater.

She doesn’t want to eat things she considers to be gross.

Also the food has to be aesthetic.

She enjoys eating soup with Narancia.

Chicken is the only meat she will eat.

And it cannot be too dry.

Her favorite drink would have to be mineral water and fresh squeezed lemons with ice.

#jojo's bizarre adventure #jojo part 5 #narancia ghirga #guido mista #bruno buccellati #leone abbacchio #giorno giovanna #pannacotta fugo #bruno bucciarati #jojo headcanons #trish una #food #I want to eat food

Law

-Law is a decent cook. He isn’t the best and usually knows how to make the basics, such as rice, pasta, chicken, and Japanese curry.

-He just knows enough to survive and get some flavor in his food to make it edible

-He really doesn’t experiment with food as he wouldn’t know how or what to do or barely understands the difference between spices and what flavors would mix well together.

-But he can follow directions to T when it comes to a recipe book, but if it is a more complicated recipe, he might have difficulty following and feel a bit more overwhelmed and there would be some directions he barely understands.

-He really isn’t a fan of cooking or cares for it too much as he just looks for what is edible and good. He would rather spend his time in his books studying, working, or training. He doesn’t have time to cook.

-He will however take time or practice took with his S/O or for his S/O if they want him to.

-He will care about his S/O’s health and while he wouldn’t have the best diet, skipping meals. He will care about his S/O making sure they eat and eat healthily.

Ace

-Can’t cook only knows how to cook meat and fish. Maybe rice. He does know it needs water and rice just the exact amount and how much is up to chance.

-He is good at cooking meat as it always comes out decent or better than you expect it to be, he somehow added the correct spices. But that is all based on luck and him wanting to mix different spices because they tasted good when he tried them.

-He skips out on vegetables or undercooks them, but he really isn’t one to care for vegetables, he does try to spice up his vegetables liking them spicy.

-He did learn how to make his favorite food, ghost pepper spaghetti aglio.

-But he does enjoy cooking with his S/O and trying new recipes together

Sabo

-Probably the best cook out of all four of them, but that isn’t saying much

-Knows the basics to make it edible, he is knowledgeable about the correct seasoning and spices and knows what he likes

-Good at making ramen, though he prefers making simple ramen. Cup noodles are the best.

-He actually will order out a lot when hungry or go out to eat and work. Just because he is working doesn’t mean he has to stop eating.

-Can follow directions from the recipe books but isn’t afraid to mix it up for better flavors

-Without a recipe book he is a mess

-He likes going out to eat or having delivery instead of cooking.

-Terrible at cleaning it just more work he doesn’t want to do.

-Would serve his S/O food on a paper plate and call it good

Luffy

-Can’t cook at all

-What is cooking? It is why he has Sanji to cook for him and the

-His S/O will have to cook all his meals and a lot of them to keep up with his appetite

-Though he would be happy with just meat if his S/O just cooked that

-The best meals he has is when he is around his friends

-What is seasoning? What are spices? He doesn’t know, he just knows it tastes good and some taste awful has tried a handful of them if put in front of him.

-Has to be kept in the kitchen if his S/O wants to cook a proper meal for him, but whatever his S/O cooked he will be happy and call it good.

-If he does try to cook, he will break a few plates and just throw whatever he thinks is good into a large pot.

-It is inedible but he tried and he will try to eat it

Folks gotta stop lying, mkay?

It's been way the fuck out of control for a while.

The most egregious claim was, for a long time that you can caramelize onions in ten minutes. (The reality is closer to an hour; with extreme effort and special technique, if one isn't too picky about the quality of the result, you can halve that. If the stars align.)

And of course you see that kind of fudging in many recipes. They claim a recipe will take 15 minutes. And, you know, if you've actually got someone with a stopwatch timing exactly and only when you have a cooking utensil in hand and nothing else, and not counting the time in the oven... maybe. But probably not. But if you start a "half an hour" recipe an hour before you intend to eat, be assured that an hour and a half later you will still be hungry.

And let's talk baking times. I can't count how many times the recipe has proclaimed "Bake for 45 or until a toothpick comes out clean." The toothpick is not clean after 45 minutes, my friends. The internal temperature is... well, not safe, let's say. (And yes, I've checked my oven temperature. I'm fine. The recipes lie.) If it says bake for 45 minutes, expect an hour. I have one pumpkin bread recipe which yields a very nice loaf, but it takes well over an hour, not the insanely optimistic (and likely physically impossible) 40 minutes it claims.

But recently I've seen more and more recipes which say they're so so so simple. "Three ingredient coq au vin!" "Two ingredient cheesecake brownies!". Often you'll find that one ingredient is a very specific (and often regional) mix which you have to make per the directions, and some other recipe: the two ingredient cheesecake brownies turn out to be "brownies" and "cheesecake". The worst offender I've seen so far was a video for a "one ingredient" fried rice snack. Which, if you are familiar with the concept of frying, you realize is not possible at all. The actual ingredients were: rice - salt - garlic powder - hot pepper flakes - oil - curry powder - chicken stock. Which is a bit more than one. When someone called the vlogger out for his crimes against mathematics, he defensively proclaimed that the spices "don't count"; I'm rather more inclined to believe he can't count.

All of these lies point toward the same goal: to convince people that cooking is simple and fast and most of all easy. Busy people just don't have time for long, difficult recipes. And someone who doesn't cook regularly will get frustrated with complex cooking which requires significant skill to pull off. And that's a viewer who stops watching your videos. But the reality is, cooking is not simple, fast, or easy. It takes time and effort and skill. But if you tell someone they don't need any of those things, and then - predictably - they fail, they are going to feel angry, frustrated, and humiliated. Rather than "Wow, coq au vin is a complex recipe which requires very particular ingredients and a lot of effort to make correctly." they will say "I suck at cooking! I can't even make a three ingredient recipe! I hate this!"

Maybe we shouldn't be setting people up for failure? Wouldn't it be a good thing to communicate honestly and give people the tools to do well?

sometimes to pass the time i daydream about opening my own little chill restaurant and what id serve there and how itd work. bc i would want to be the cook but like, id need to make it fit my energy reserves and stuff. id serve mostly different things in rotation (maybe over a week or two) depending on supplies and mood with a few constant staples. id have a couple ppl to do service, and id have to learn good alcohol pairings, and and and

its not realistic id need to have so much money before i could do this but its nice to think about

anyway some dishes: blanquette with baked rosemary diced potatoes, lemon baked fish with those potatoes also and a side of fresh tomato salad or creamy spinach, japanese curry with rice (u could add meat if u want; id make the roux myself to make sure its gluten free), mac n cheese (actually fucking cheesy, and i could basically just assemble it on demand, but i usually add in bacon spinach and mushrooms) (also easy to make gf), pasta with spinach pesto, pine nuts and sun-dried tomatoes (tomatoes optional), roasted garlic and potato soup (my sibling found the recipe, its soooo tasty and the texture is wonderful), my moms bacon wrapped and goat cheese stuffed filet mignon (SO good) w potatoes and garlic-fried broccoli, chicken apple curry on rice (could make lactose free), pasta with a simple mushroom sauce (mushrooms, dijon mustard, white wine, cream - can add extra veggies or meat, and can use lactose free cream), roasted lamb with couscous and veggies cooked with mediterranean spices, salad with cantaloupe, cherry tomatoes, crispy bacon or parma ham, crumbly fresh goats cheese, served in the cantaloupe (and fine lettuce i guess - roquette would work well i think), quiche lorraine, fried salmon fillet with baked herby carrots, potatoes and parsnips

desserts could have cheesecake, fresh doughnuts, miso brownies (kep found the recipe, it is. so good), toffee cake (made recently for a party, it was fun to make!), fruit salad (depending in the season), lava cake (actually benefit from being made in advance and sitting in the fridge!) with ice cream and/or raspberry coulis, tarte tatin (upside down apple pie with caramelized top)

mainly i just daydream about getting to cook nice food at my own pace and sharing it with people and adapting it when i can so ppl with diet restrictions can enjoy it too

#personal #im not a chef idk anything about restaurant management im disabled and i am not a customer person #so this will likely remain a daydream forever #but it's nice to think about

sharing some of grandma's recipes 🩷 she's OUR grandma now. she tends to give simple recipes for easy bases - add whatever you'd like to them!

recipes:

- chicken noodle soup

- chicken salsa soup

- sweet potato curry

- gumbo

- how to make rice

- homemade bread. peasant, flat, and fried

CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

- buy roasted chicken. place in pot with water filled about halfway up chicken. leave to boil for 40min-hour [good for walking away and doing things. boiling it makes it super easy to get the bones out. you can also just pick the meat you want off if you're in a hurry)

- pick out bones / add boneless meat to pot with water or broth from store (as much broth as you want)

- 1tb bouillon, bay leaf [i double this for stronger flavor]

- any seasonings you want. my personal favs are creole or yellow curry. parsley is delicious as well and discourages bad breath >:]

- veggies: sliced carrots, celery, chopped onions

- bring to a boil for cooking then turn down heat, leave for 10 min

- noodles! any that you want. grandma's favorite are egg noodles. cook until noodles are desired texture

great granny made this for my gma served on top of mashed potatoes

makes multiple servings! good for easy leftovers

CHICKEN SALSA SOUP

- saute / fry chopped onion in butter. add 1 pint water and 1.5 cup salsa

- 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp chili powder, 1-2 tb bouillon, as much garlic as you want (i personally double this)

- when it starts boiling add 1-2 cups of corn (canned or frozen)

- add bite sized chicken. i always buy my chicken precooked bc i have anxiety about it LOL. cook for 5 minutes longer

serve with sour cream, chips, and cheese

SWEET POTATO CURRY

- fry 1 chopped onion and 1 chopped sweet potato together with butter

- add a little water (don't fully cover food) and cover to steam about 10 minutes

- buy bottle of red or green curry sauce. 3 tbs. or about half the bottle. curry paste or powder also works! use same amount and adjust as desired

- add 1 cup of water with 2 tsp bouillon

- i personally add some cooked shredded chicken and a bit of creole seasoning and parsley. not called for in recipe

- add coconut milk once potatos are fully cooked and soft

- low heat until desired temperature

served with rice and flat bread

COOPER FAMILY GUMBO

cook in a big pot

- 1 bag frozen okra. chopped or chop yourself. fry with small amount of oil until it stops being stringy. takes about 10 min depending on amount. add to pot after

- add chopped: onion, green pepper, celery (1 onion, 1 big pepper, 2 celery for base recipe. i do some spicy peppers as well. add more as desired)

- 1 24-32oz can of diced tomatoes

- 2tbs bouillion (i use veggie bouillion, meat kinds are good too) (grandma uses this for an easy roux replacement) (roux recipe: butter and flour in low to medium heated pan. mix until golden brown. add creole seasoning)

- about 1 qts of water (i personally love broth so i just fill until im satisfied) (i will also use 3 32oz containers of broth instead of water for flavor)

- season with parsley, 2 bay leaves, plenty of tonys creole seasoning (i also add curry powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and lemon black pepper) (creole is main soup seasoning for gumbo) (the brand is just Cooper Family preference)

- once veggies are soft add bite sized cooked chicken, sausage, shrimp (i don't usually include shrimp bc of texture. i use a cooked chicken from the store and just tear it up so it's stringy. creole or beef sausage is my favorite) (i recently found some dried shrimp at my store and added that, good replacement for texture issues)

serve over rice with bread. best breads are garlic french bread or flat bread. normal bread slices also work just fine

creole is a little spicy, so taste test for desired amount as you're adding

FOR RICE IF YOU DONT HAVE RICE COOKER:

- add 1 cup rice or more

- WASH! rinse rice in water, mix with hands, and drain multiple times until water is no longer milky colored (doesn't have to be 100% clear)

- fill water until it's a little above the rice. measure with finger, i usually do a little under the first knuckle

- cover pot and leave to cook on medium heat. if it starts to boil, immediately turn down heat to low.

- once all water is evaporated, add butter and salt! serve with whatever you'd like

for YELLOW rice add 1-2 tb butter and 1 tsp turmeric, throw in some fried onions if you're feeling fancy!

grandma liked adding 1-2 tb of ketchup and fried onions to plain cooked rice. said it gave it a great reddish color LMAO

HOMEMADE BREADS

PEASANT BREAD BASE RECIPE

- 2 cups of warm water

- for rosemary bread add crushed rosemary at this part

- add any seasonings you want or leave plain! either way is delicious

- 1 tbs yeast, 2 tbs sugar, 2 tbs salt

let rest until yeast is activated (looks sticky/foamy/expanded)

- add up to 4 cups of flour. mix each cup in as you pour, the dough will be sticky and can be mixed with a fork

- cover with cloth and leave it to rise. will double in size. i usually walked away to leave it for an hour, im not sure if it actually takes that long tho lmao

- preheat oven to 375

- get your baking bread bowl or pan and butter VERY well to prevent the dough from sticking. i tend to cover the dough and pan in butter. if you don't have an oven bread pan or whatever it's called (my gma called it a cereal bowl i DONT think that's correct hahahah), then a flat pan will work just fine! bowl is just for shape. gma divides bread into 2 loafs, i divide into rolls or flatten it for flatbread!

- cover again in rag and let dough rise a 2nd time before placing in oven

loaves take about 20 minutes, but just bake until bread is a golden brown :] grandma likes adding sesame seeds before putting bread in oven

recipe works for pretty much anything! pizza dough, loafs, rolls, flatbread

FLATBREAD

- follow peasant bread recipe up until the 1st rise of the dough

- butter or spray cookie sheet with oil, spread dough thin

- brush top with melted butter, sesame seeds, parsley, and parmesan cheese

- bake at 325 until golden brown

i personally add some sliced chery tomatoes, rosemary, cheese, and creole seasoning to top bread before placing in the oven. then more cheese directly after pulling it out.

FRY BREAD

- after 1st rise, divide and hand flatten dough into thin circles

- paint with melted butter and let rest for 5-10 minutes

- fill a pan about 1/3rd with oil, high or medium heat while dough is resting in butter

- cook in oil until crispy golden brown

delicious with curry or gumbo!

I have so many thoughts about pog soup.

cooking is a great way to experience culture and history of a place.

When I make gumbo, I think of the intersecting cultures that led to okra, dried sassafras leaves and roux all sharing a pot.

So when I see mention of food in something I’m reading or watching, I pay attention.

Bo shares a food she calls pog soup with Din Djarin. She also references the food’s cultural importance.

“You've never eaten pog soup?" "No." "Can you appreciate the irony? Any Mandalorian worth their armor was raised on this since they were his (Grogu’s) size.”

This is a nice bit of world building. We’ve seen in the show that the Mandalorians are a race that take their culture seriously. But they’re also a diaspora. One that has spent time in hiding after being persecuted by the imperial government.

In our real life diasporas, one of the things we try to hold onto are recipes. Items can be lost, but recipes can be recreated from memory and handed down. Consuming them puts us in mind of people and places we no longer have access to.

The Children Of The Watch have managed to hold on to what is culturally most important (their forge, their creed).

But along the way, they lost simpler pleasures, like comfort foods.

What is it about pog soup that makes it a cultural touchstone? It’s not listed in any Star Wars cookbook I own. The Galaxy’s Edge cookbook lists two Mandalorian foods - a spicy chicken stew and a sticky and spiced fruit and nut cake.

In the cookbook, the fictional author speculated that Mandalorian food is spicy because the warrior culture looked at it as a test of their bravery to eat.

There are supposedly four essentials of Mandalorian cooking, but the only one mentioned in canon is that the food must be portable.

It makes sense that the Mandalorian comfort food is soup. You can put it in a mug and drink it on the go. Especially if you are running to your next battle. And it’s probably spicy.

The Star Wars website helpfully provides a recipe that includes bell peppers, onions, assorted flavorful spices, a little heat from curry powder and sweetness from coconut milk.

It honestly looks delicious. Sweet, with complex notes from the spice blend. But not too hot for a child’s palette. The coconut milk would help cut down on the spice burn, and the natural sugar in the peppers and coconut milk would appeal to kids too.

I wonder about what we could infer about Mandalorian culture based on particular spices? Are they native to Mandalore? If they were one more thing lost in the purge (except in places like Bo Katan’s palace gardens ) that might explain why Din hadn’t heard of pog soup. Also, a covert on the run and hiding their numbers in sewers wouldn’t have access to spices. Not to grow and not to buy in quantity.

In a situation like that, they might hold all the tighter to their creed because that’s all they have of Mandalore.

Otoh, it also highlights the way the two characters are diametric opposites. For Din Djarin, adhering to the creed is what makes him Mandalorian. He tells Bo-Katan “If we don’t have the creed, what are we?”

Bo-Katan otoh, grew up with a pre-purge Mandalore. She had pog soup and the gardens in the domes. She took her creed at thirteen while standing in the living waters. Her followers left her in the same way that Din’s covert cast him out. But she doesn’t have to question if she’s Mandalorian. She has these experiences to shape her identity. Her self-doubt revolves around her leadership ability.

Bo-Katan sharing an experience over food with Din Djarin shows how the two characters who represent different types of Mandalorian are learning to see each other. It’s the first step in their quest.

That’s quite a lot of meaning to pack into a simple cup of soup.

I know that the episode that references pog soup has been out a little while, and I’m probably behind in posting my thoughts, but I just had to let this digest a bit.

. . . I’ll just see myself out.

I can never recommend lentil soup enough, the absolutely most basic version is incredibly simple, cheap, made with shelf stable ingredients, filling, healthy and actually tastes pretty good on its own, and everything you can add just makes it better.

Basic recipe is this:

Canned tomatoes (crushed is easiest)

Red lentils (or other kinds I guess but I've never made it with anything else)

Salt (pretty important for flavor and also people need salt in their diet so I'm including it in the basic recipe, but of course can be omitted if you don't have it)

Then just put them in a pot and add water, the lentils will absorb water so you might have to add more later, you can adjust to get your preferred consistency, depending on how thick or soupy you like it.

Boil until lentils are soft and thats it.

Now for how to improve on it

Different spice combinations that work great:

Thyme, rosemary, oregano, sage etc or a mediterranean/french whatever spice mix

Paprika powder, chili powder, garlic powder etc, I also have used a ćepavi spice mix before

My favorite is ginger (powdered, fresh grated or juice) coriander, cumin, chili powder etc. Any kind of indian spice mix, curry powder or similar would probably work great.

(Etc because I don't keep all that much track of what I use, just follow your heart)

If you have the energy to prepare onions and garlic of course it's an improvement.

Add whatever protein and/or vegetables you feel like, my most basic version of this usually includes carrots unless I'm really low on energy. Carrots are great because they're fairly cheap and last longer in the fridge than many other vegetables. I just like to grate them in because it's easier than chopping and takes less time to cook.

Chicken is also a favorite, I like to add celery and chicken stock to that one, works with all spice combinations.

Hello Levi, I hope you’re well. For the ask game, I’m very curious about 16 and 20.

Thank you! ☺️

Right. I'm fine, thanks.

16. name the one meal you are an absolute pro at making, bonus points for sharing the recipe

I cooked before, for all that's worth. Back then, it was just a side effect of my experiences. When you can barely find a crumb of food, and it's not just laying around—and even then, you can't say it's not rotted until you get your hands on it—you learn how to make something out of nothing. That's all I did, but once I had the money to buy ingredients, it got to my head, and I made something on a whim. For Underground standards, it wasn't bad, and I had it so much when I was a kid that I should've been sick of it at that point.

I never heard it called anything else other than boiled cereal. Rice, or buckwheat if I could ever get my hands on any. It needed salt and a lot of water. But if you wanted it to be any good, milk. Obviously that was worthless. Blink, and it'd go bad.

To make things worse, it needed to be boiled for six hours. It didn't taste like anything, but it was filling. That's all that mattered.

It was better with milk. So much that I was drowned in compliments. Hange would somehow track me down at least three times a day and beg me to make more.

Actually if I remember right... after Hange became Commander and the Scout Regiment was seven or eight members strong, it was as good a time as any to update personnel files. Next to my actual rank, Hange added 'chef' in the smallest letters imaginable thinking I wouldn't notice. Obviously I'm talking about it now.

I could still go to some gourmet restaurant and pass boiled cereal off as something edible. Onyankopon isn't a fan, not that I blame him. He tried.

So I figured out something everyone could stand. It was a pain in the ass because the only vegetable Connie seriously enjoys is broccoli.

So it came down to chicken divan. It's technically a casserole, so I don't have to slave away making it over and over again for just one dinner.

I never measure ingredients. So I had Falco looking over my shoulder and this is what he came up with.

2 cups of cooked chicken. Slice them into chucks.

Grease a casserole dish. Boil 1.5 pounds of broccoli and use them for the base. Then take 2 cups of cooked chicken, slice them into chunks, and add those.

Mix together 2 cans of cream of chicken soup, a cup of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1/4 tablespoon of curry powder. In a bowl.

Pour all of that on top. Make sure it's even.

Top it with a half-cup of grated cheese, bread crumbs, and three tablespoons of margarine. It tastes better than butter.

Having an electric stove has helped for the last step. Bake it at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. If the breadcrumbs are burnt, you cooked it too long.

20. if you have a lucky item, what is it

I don't believe in luck. I don't think I ever did. Because of that, I worked harder to achieve my goals even when it was as simple—…ha, simple now—as surviving.

Obviously... almost everything outside you or me is out of our control. Sometimes you're one cent more broke if you'd just looked at the other side of the street, sometimes chance is deadly.

If I had to choose… I’d choose a sliding knife.
