Cooking For Humans
Nepeltor loved cooking.
As an esquinine, she was drawn to the more pleasant hobbies in life, both for her own happiness and other people's, more so than the average being. She found great joy in being able to provide a service to others that caused such a positive emotional surge. As a strong natural psychic, she had the ability to 'sip' at strong emotions and enjoy them as a one would a drink.
For the unshielded, she was exposed to all emotions, but it was the greater ones, or those felt more strongly that she recognised above the usual din.
Anger, frustration, disgust, or hatred were the ones she avoided where she could, instead deliberately seeking out positive ones instead.
A favoured pass time was lingering near spaceport greeting lounges where long lost partners, families or friends would meet again, rush into one another's arms and embrace with an outpouring of love, joy and relief. It was like standing just off from a planet's coast, until the water reached her shoulders. The ebb and flow of the water would rock her back and forth. Likewise, the relief of seeing one that you had missed was enough for her to physically waver, stood in the middle of the expansive room.
That was until she happened to be in the same café as a human when they got their meal. The creature was one of the new additions, and seemingly was mentally grumbling that they had not eaten anything other than nutrient cubes for a while. Nepeltor grimaced herself, she'd lived off nutrient cubes once; tasteless, boring and a chore to eat. No wonder the human relished the middling quality meal as if it was fine dining.
The esquinine telepath had met no other race in the cosmos that seemed to have such a reaction to their meal.
Even before they started on their plate, the anticipation bled into her readily. When the first bite was taken, she was glad she was seated as the sheer, unadulterated, euphoria that washed over her and hit like a tidal wave. Each bite blinded her like no other. Not even the ursidains could match the depths of the emotion's the human was feeling at this second.
It was the very next day, Nepeltor applied for her culinary licence.
Just short of a year later, she applied for a location for a new food stall on the station. Directly next to the new arrivals exit.
She didn't need much, in the end just space for 5 or so mid-sized creatures... 'humans' she hoped. They were rare, but she noticed a steady appearance of one or two as they made their way across. This station must have been one of the secretive layovers for the valuable species.
Her stall was barely more than a hot plate and space for her ingredients behind the counter, with a bench in front and an eating shelf for the customers.
Perhaps it would be frowned upon to have stolen an idea from the human. Perhaps they would have agreed to give their permission if she had asked, but in the end, Nepeltor made a new meal that was a human specialty in the hope it would lure the new species in with tastes of their former home. 'Noodles', chives, meat and an egg. Throw in some other bits and bats before serving with a smile.
It was several weeks before the first human appeared. By then she was fully invested in her work and had been forced to plan a handful of other stalls opening, manned by hires. The human 'noodles' were a hit, a brand new taste sensation in a galaxy that had tried 'everything' already.
The esquinine at this point wasn't thinking that a human would arrive, instead focusing on her work of slicing vegetables ready for the next fresh pot. She had served the two newcomers as she had anyone else, with barely a thought thanks to the rush.
"God I'm starving!"
"I know, can't get a good meal anywhere here, did that guy genuinely suggest we eat rocks?"
The first voice replied but was muffled as he slurped a heaping of noodles into his mouth.
"At least this place has normal foo-" His dramatic halt gave pause for the other human, before the one that had taken a bite 'mm'd in pleasure as he immediately began eating with gusto.
Nepeltor however, was rocked out of her zen 'flow' state of working and knew instantly that she had done well. From a gnawing hunger radiating from the other side of the counter, like a grenade exploding right in front of her face; a mixture of desire, greed, pleasure and even love bloomed in front of her until she stumbled and had to lean against her counter just to stop her knees from buckling.
What was interesting was that over time, one by one, each human ended up emitting the same few handfuls of emotions, which was an experience every time and not only did they love her food, there was a hint that they had associated her with her food and she herself was the target of their outpouring of positive emotions. It was directed at her, rather than just passive.
In the end she became famous amongst humans traveling that route.
She had the opportunity to expand, become an administrator, be rich and never have to work again with her stalls setting up shop everywhere, but she would lose access to be there when they took that first bite with ecstasy. Not to mention, if she expanded too much, she would be less likely to see the humans if they weren't forced to come see her and her stall specifically.

♡ Cooking With the Genshin Men ♡
Cooking together is such an adorable domestic moment, one that fills your home with warmth and love ♡ All the genshin men behave differently in the kitchen, they have their strengths and weaknesses. Some want to get involved in the process, some just love watching you work. All love sharing this activity with you ♡
Childe, Zhongli, Kaeya, Diluc x gender neutral reader || fluff, romance
Content Warnings: Lots of swearing in Childe's part, use of the term "pet" in Kaeya's part.
Tumblr media
Childe can’t cook for shit but insists on helping. He follows you around the kitchen like a lost puppy, ending up as more of a hinderance than a helper. You’ll start a step and he’ll beg to finish it, saying something like, “take a load off, girlie! I’ll take over (with rizz).”, then fuck it up immensely. He fucks up in ways you didn’t think were possible. Even if he’s just stirring pasta sauce, you’ll end up having to clean it off the ceiling. He’ll get all dejected if you bench him, and you don’t like to see him pout, so you’ll have to get creative. “Darling, will you tie my apron? I just can’t reach back there…” you say, batting your big doe eyes at him. By God, will he tie that apron for you—with the goofiest crooked grin on his face. He’s such a fool for you. You find that delegating tasks like this, ones that have nothing to do with the actual food, to him is the best way to let him feel involved without it looking like an atomic bomb went off in your kitchen. You can ask him to fetch the colander off a high shelf, press the button on the salad spinner (with supervision, or else he might overdo it.), and preheat the oven. Make sure you thank him loads for his help with it, “I don’t know what I’d do without you~”, and throw in a kiss on the cheek for good measure. He’ll feel like your valuable little sous chef, and you’ll both have an edible dinner ♡
Zhongli’s food feels like heaven on your tongue but he takes forever in the kitchen. He’ll offer to make you lunch at noon and it’ll be done by eight o’ clock...the next morning. He doesn’t even notice it; one of the pitfalls of living for a millennia is a loss of his sense of time. That being said, his dishes, both cooked and baked, are divine. So you’ll just have to help him speed up the process. Whining that your hungry every fifteen minutes isn’t the most moral way to achieve that goal, but it definitely has an impact—despite how he hushes you with a, “Patience, sweetheart.”, or if you really bug him, “I am not beyond closing your mouth via physical means.”. You’re not sure what he means by “physical means”, but with the way his voice rumbles like an earthquake when he says it, you don’t want to find out. So you zip it. Another way to have the food ready in the same decade you ordered it is to help! Vegetables he'd otherwise sautee on simmer are softened and browned in five minutes with you on the stove. Meat he'd give an hour-long, full-body Swedish massage to is crushed to inch-thickness in mere moments with your mallet. You let him handle marinades--them being his specialty, but you have him start them days in advance, so he can flavor them to his standards and you won't be left waiting for dinner 'til you're a sun-bleached skeleton. Zhongli is used to taking things at a snail's pace, so he needs you in the driver's seat to hit the gas. Though, you equally need him to tell you when it's important to slow down. Cooking is not a loveless process, the amount of care he puts into food for you is a way of expressing his affections--he won't settle for anything less than perfect if it's on your plate. So he is happy to stand over a cauldron of broth all day, stirring it, adding in anything he believes might be missing, giving the water ample time to pull every last drop of flavor from the bones, all for it to be a moment of joy in your stomach. To him, any time he spends in service to you, no matter how tedious the task, is time well spent.
Kaeya is a fantastic cook, especially when he’s drunk, but he won’t share any of his secret recipes with you. He tells you it's because he's sworn to his family to never speak a breath of them...but really, he wants you to have to ask him to make it for you. And he will! Happily! It brings so much satisfaction to his soul to have you eat something he's made and it bring a smile to your face. It makes him feel valuable and like he's properly taking care of you--two things that deep down, he's quite insecure about. Not to mention, he goes wild for that pleading look in your eyes when you ask him to cook you a specific recipe you're craving. Despite how much he loves it, he just has to tease you for it; "Oh, look at you begging. I didn't realize I had a pet to feed.", his signature smirk adorning his face. He'll top it off with a kiss to your forehead, chuckling at your face contorted in offence. You can only stay mad for so long, as the moment you take your first bite, all you feel is smitten. Just like his skill as a flirt, he really is just that good. He'll soak in the sight of your content, dreamy face, fulfilled in how much you enjoy something he's made for you. Fulfilled in seeing first-hand how he has a positive impact on you--shooing away his internalized fears of not being enough. He's done something good. He's made you happy. And even if he pokes at you for it, he looks forward to you asking him to do it again.
Diluc knows the basics but really, he just isn’t all that into cooking. He has staff to handle that for him and, frankly, he doesn’t have time to pursue it as a hobby. But when you cook for him? You’ve made his day, his year, his life. He’ll replay the memory of the taste on his tongue and warm feeling in his heart over and over again to the point that he literally dreams about it. He’s just so touched that you made something for him. Putting love and effort into this dish with him in mind. He also likes to watch you when you cook; how you flit around the kitchen, the skill you demonstrate when you chop and season...and his front-row seat comes with perks--as you'll periodically hold out a spoon of sauce or broth for him to taste. There's something about you holding that spoon to his lips, the way you blow on it for him with your perfect lips, him sipping it with you gently supporting his chin that sends his mind reeling, his heart stuttering. He has to restrain himself from asking to marry you right then and there--the thought of you with his ring on your finger, of this dreamlike scene in the kitchen being a daily occurence, it's just too overwhelming to ignore. Maybe it's the way he feels doted on when you do so, he's at the mercy of your hands and you use them to care for him, to ask him his preferences on what you're making for him. There's really nothing better. He'll go to sleep that night with a warm feeling in his stomach and that composed smile on his on his face, hoping you'll cook for him again tomorrow.

“How about you cook for yourself?” [Heizou x F!Reader]
 
Having heard enough rants about how bad the Police Station’s food was, you challenged Heizou to make a meal himself. The funky detective threw a confident smirk and immediately accepted it.
Genre: fluff, sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiightly suggestive
Tumblr media
<3
 
“Small bean, I’ll make you the best dish you have ever tasted.”
.
Heizou threw his head back on the top rail of his office chair, another case was successfully cracked - along with his exhaustion. He let out a long sigh, not wanting to have dinner at the police station. They were always reheated, obviously, if not then served cold. Sometimes bean soup with a sausage inside or onigiri with lavender melon, absolutely unfit the detective’s taste. He loved deep-fried food, whether it’s meat or veggies but Heizou was fully awared that they were not so healthy to consume.
 
Nevertheless, some cheat days should be allowed right?
 
He would be on cloud nine if you showed up with some katsu sandwiches for him after such a long day. As he wished, he heard your voice outside. Rushing out like a child anticipating its candy, Heizou finally saw his lovely girlfriend.
 
“(Y/N)!” He waved with his whole arm, still jogging a little.
 
“Hi, how’s your day honey?” You extended your arms to pull him into your embrace. The smell of papers indicated that he had been in his office for quite a while.
 
“Case: solved, detective: tired.” He joked, his giggle sent a smile up to your face. “But you know, I soon gotta have that boring-as-always dinner here. Ah I miss your cooking.”  He rubbed his head on your shoulder like a kid.
 
“Come on, how about you make your own meal then?”
 
Heizou jolted, feeling as if a blast of energy had come back to him. He sure to be that type that loves winning.
 
“Well, why not?”
 
He grabbed your wrist and dragged you to run with him. “Imma make you the best meal you have ever tasted in your life, if it’s not delicious then I won’t charge you a penny.”
 
Your destination was Uyuu restaurant, it was then that you freaked out of your realization.
 
Was he gonna borrow the restaurant’s kitchen? Where are the ingrdients?
 
“Heizou, we don’t have anything at hand.”
 
“They owe me one, which was that very case I solved earlier today so we don’t need to worry about that.”
At some points, you felt like he had planned it all along – rather than just a mere coincidence. However, you decided to not think about the matter anymore.
Unskeptical, you believed.
------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Heizou had completely forgotten about his exhaustion and hunger. He appoached Okazaki and booked a private room upstair for two, whilst whispering something into the old man’s ear. You couldn’t make out what he said, though you were pretty sure it wouldn’t just be a simple kitchen borrow.
Heizou escorted you to the second floor and told you to wait there.
“I’ll be quick and you’ll soon be amazed by my ultimate speciality.”
You smiled and nodded it off.
.
He came back just minutes later, tray on his right palm.
To your expectation, it was indeed a deep-fried dish. Crispy katsu with the Kujou clan symbol neatly draw with mayonnaise on top, over a thin layer of omelet with onions and steamy hot rice underneath. The smell alone could trigger one’s appetite to its fullest, and you had to admit, he had impressive cooking skills to have made something like that on his own.
“Behold, my specialty: ‘The Only Truth’!” Heizou placed the bowl on the table before you, mimicking what waiters do. “Enjoy your meal.” He flashed a proud smile at you, oh the full combo of what are best.
You noticed that he also brought a small bottle of sake, looked like he had snuck that from the kitchen.
Heizou plopped down on the zabuton and scooted to sit next to you instead of sitting across the table. He nudged you slightly.
“The dish won’t finish itself, will it?”  
You turned to his side just to find Heizou holding up a cutlet slice with chopstick, bringing it to your mouth.
“A-“
“A”
It was briny and crunchy, yet soft and juicy inside. The very first bite made you melt into ecstasy. You covered your mouth, still chewing the food with your eyes widen.
“Told ya it’s gonna be that good.” He threw a victorious smirk, which you found cute anyways.
"It's beyond good." You shrugged, wanting to improve his mood for a bit.
If Heizou were a puppy right there you would definitely see his tail wag
"Well then I'll count this as a huge success, cheers"
You both raised your cup and downed them in one go. It had been forever since you last had any hearty meal like this.
.
.
.
The rice was all gone and you were already feeling tipsy at that moment, simply too caught up with the satisfaction. Without looking, you felt Heizou's gaze on you, a gaze that was immersing in love and warmth.
"Thank you for the meal." You smiled.
"Now that you've mentioned it, I haven't eaten anything properly for dinner today."
It then came to you, right, all he had were some bites of cutlets and egg.
"Oh yeah- Let me order something for you."
Just when you were about to stand up, he grabbed your wrist and dragged you down onto his lap.
"That's not what I mean, sweetheart."
You could feel his lips on your cheek, peppering down your neck. Only able to sit there as heat rushed to your face.
"I did tell you that if my dish was not delicious then I wouldn't charge you a penny." He nibbled at your ear. "Now I'm just getting my payment."
Was it because of the sake or did he really sound extra sexy today?
"Wait- Heizou, not here." You turned around and covered his mouth, just for it to be pushed away and he leaned forward to kiss you.
"I'm just kidding, but if you insist then we'll save it for another day." He winked and left a quick peck on your nose.
He then grabbed your hand and stood up, leading you downstairs.
"Thank you for the treat, sir Okazaki!" Heizou waved at the restaurant owner at the counter.
"Can't believe I'd be able to taste such a fancy delight without paying anything, though I do feel a little guilty now." You fiddled your fingers.
"Nah it's fine, told you they owed me some."
.
Guess you would never know that sake bottle had never been free.
--------------------------------------
Author's notes: ah yes it's a bit late by now but anyways here are your Heizou crumbs <3 his birthday is coming up too and I'm hoping I could finish both a drawing and a quick fanfic for it

"Alastriona, darling, tell me about your day." Rory said, as they were sat at a booth in a small cafe, having ran out of other meaningless dribble to speak of. In front of Alastriona was a coffee "as black as her soul" that had little grounds in it because she was feeling like an extra bit of bitterness today with a plate that had the specialty ham on rye bread. Not bad, lacked a bit of flavoring but otherwise passable for a sandwich.
Alastriona chuckled at his request, "there isn't much to tell, darling. Hotel business isn't all about managing people - it's paperwork, meetings.. blegh.." she looked at his face, seeing that adoring smile he always gave her. "Tell me about your day, dear."
The man chuckled as he was adding more sugar and cream to his tea and stirring them in. As to how he had no cavities, that was a miracle right there. "Aside from Susan causing trouble at the town meeting, nothing new occurred."
Rory had a plate of cake piled with strawberries and whipped cream in addition to his bowl of gumbo ("I want to try it to see how it measures up to the genuine article, darling." "If you end up liking that bowl of slop that dares compare itself to my cooking, I demand a divorce.") that had meat that tasted raw in a bad way and lacked the seasoning that Alastriona gave her dishes thus it was ignored and deemed slop.
Alastriona fought back a snort, rather unladylike noise honestly but especially in public with her husband, as she smiled at him in a similar manner to which he stared at her. "Well, that old hag never fails to ruin a moment."
They both laughed. Unaware they were being watched.
A sinner demon, their server, had seen the rings, and took a few snapshots - one of the two, and another two zoomed in on the rings.
Bingabonga added to timeline: Holy fuckking fuck!! Radio Demoness and Cannibal King on a date!?! And they're marrried!?!
She added the pictures and then resumed her job. Unaware of what she'd done.
--
Angel was scrolling through his phone, when he got a text from Cherri.
Cherri: hey, dipshit. what you know about this shit?? it's everywhere..
Cherri: [attached link]
Angel looked at it, and felt himself die again. He made a noise that drew everyone's attention.
"Angel?" Charlie was concerned, seeing the spider nearly foaming at the mouth.
The spider turned to Husk and Niffty, who had been playing a card game, looking out of his mind - and not in the usual way.
"Yous fucks know dhat Smiles is married to dhis fuckin' freak?" Angel showed them all his phone. Just in time for a ding to show another picture.
They had kissed. It looked like a chaste, quick, private kiss
"Fuck me to heaven and back." Husk said, not believing his eyes.
"Whoa! I can't wait to ask Miss Alastriona about this!" Niffty was grinning maniacally.
"Hang on - who the fuck would willingly pick Alastriona?" Vaggie asked. "I've heard of that guy's reputation for killing and eating his wife's after a time, so could that be it?" Should they do something? Don't get Vaggie wrong, she still had it out (derogatory) for Alastriona. But if this guy was a threat, they'd have to protect themselves and their friend from this man.
"No way!" Charlie jumped in. "I've met Rory, and saw them interact. She seemed genuinely happy to be around him when she brought me to Cannibal Town."
"Who knows? Maybe it's all for convenience sake?" Lucifer asked. "Wouldn't be the first time something like that has happened to people in their situation to deter unwanted attention."
"Luci, baby, does dhis look like convince ta you?" Angel showed the man his phone as another picture popped up - Rory was feeding Alastriona a forkful of sweet, sugary cake. Blasphemy! "Smiles don't touch sweets! She fuckin' hates them!"
Charlie screamed in excitement. "Let me see! Let me see!" When she saw the picture she screamed again, louder this time. "That's so romantic! Look at how they're looking at each other! Oh, they're so in love!"
"Angel." Husk said sternly, seeing the look on his face.
Angel looked hurt. "What? I just wanted to ask them how they mee-" his phone dinged again. "Dhey're on da move!"
--
The two were walking arm in arm through a park.
"You were right about that gumbo, it didn't taste right." Rory scrunched up his face in disgust.
Alastriona laughed, moving closer to him. "I told you~" she sang, moving a hand up to adjust his hat so the skull was more centered.
"Thank you, my love." Rory smiled, taking the hand she was moving away and pulling it to his lips to kiss her knuckle tenderly.
The cannibal deer chuckled. "Careful now darling, I'd be tempted to think you wanted a bite."
"Just a nibble~" Rory said, giving her fingers a very light nip and humming.
"I.. R- Rory.." Alastriona was keenly aware they were in a park - granted there was no one around - a blush heating up her face as she tore her eyes to look off to the side.
"What is it, my darling deer?" Rory brought them to a bench in that secluded spot.
"I.. I don't deserve your charm.. it.." her face was moved to look at his, and her lips were caught by Rory's own.
"Yes, you do. Remember how you told me that you grew up a Creole in the time that you did?" Rory asked when they pulled away, getting a nod in return. "And, what did I tell you?"
"That.." she took a breath, as those words stole them every time, "that you wished you could see me, before my death, and bask in my beauty as you do now." Fuck, was she about to cry?
Rory said nothing, pulling her close. He looked up, frowned, and reached into his inner coat pocket. He produced a handgun, pointed it in the direction he was frowing, and pulled the trigger. Twice. All without a word, as his wife started to sob into his chest. Being the most vulnerable she'd been with him for about a year. Wether or not she heard the shots, she didn't indicate.
--
"Holy.." The gang had just watched the whole thing, from the time the two walked into the park, to when Rory fired those shots and ended the feed in a screen full of static. And the one who held the camera.
"Fuckers." Husk said, angry.
"We're getting her a therapist." Lucifer said, grabbing his phone.
No one said anything else. They all agreed.
--
When Rory brought Alastriona back to the hotel, it was getting dark out, no trace of her crying was present. Good.
They found everyone in a sitting room, all waiting fro them.
"Hey, uh.. Ona?" Charlie decided to speak up after what felt like an eternity.
"Yes, Charlotte dear?" Ah, radio. Helped make her not feel so raw.
"How long have yous two been married?!" Angel couldn't hold it in anymore.
Alastriona's smile became a flustered blush like nothing they'd ever seen before. "Oh, oh! That little sinner decided to take a few snap shots? Well, to think we'd tipped her rather well. And recommended her to management for a promotion." Shit.. they just made it so the Demoness had lunch picked out for tomorrow.
"Darling." Rory said, honestly happy they could just be themselves around this bunch of misfits, caroling his wife's penchant for violence.
Alastriona sighed, leaning into Rory's side, still able to talk clearly. "We've been married for about.. 27 years."
Rory nodded happily, smiling as he saw everyone's mouths drop. Take that, you pack of degenerates. "Best 27 years of my life."
Alastriona laughed, her face still flustered, as everyone's brains melted out of their ears in shock. She laughed louder when Rory pulled her along out of the room.
"So, darling.. about that gumbo?"
"That's my love."
Angel was the first to speak, "what da hell..."

this turned out longer than expected. chapter 648, under the cut
please remember that while i am narrating this in third person, this is all in first person in the text.
everything in the star stream is a story. thinking about it, isn't [incite] just a skill that imitates those stories? with this enhanced incite, not only is lhh able to imitate a person, but also use their skills, linked with his memories of the person. and he uses taming! the sentences of sys taming queen mirabad runs through his head. it's like an internal [stage transformation].. keeping the taming link between him and the ancient nagak while avoiding his attacks, he uses [advanced diverse communication] and is able to understand it.
「StopStopStopStopStop」
lhh's mind felt like it was split in two. both him, and the ancient nagak. sentences flowed into his head, like that of the ground rats. more screams that words
「Ahhhhhhhh」 「DokkaebiscaryDokkaebiscaryDokkaebiscary」 「Don't come」 「HateHateHateHate」
it hadn't been threatening or laughing at him. it was afraid of him. to be exact, it was afraid of the scenarios. there's an indirect message from swk wondering about the taste of nagak meat. they're here to see the story. him and the ancient nagak are both just trying to survive. they're the same. he's flooded with the fear of the ancient nagak, this is how taming works. to listen to them, understand them, and then tame them. shin yoosung had to go through this every time she tamed a monster. a child who understood outcast beings better than anyone else. maybe it was only natural that she would have recognized the disaster kim dokja before anyone else.
imitating shin yoosung, lhh speaks to the nagak. even if he's used [incite], he doesn't expect to tame it. he just needs to buy time for sys. the nagak couldn't easily attack lhh, and lhh couldn't easily tame it. they weren't friends, or enemies. but this was the only way to survive. eventually, something changes. the ancient nagak stops showing hostility, and it gets curious about him. it lost its fighting spirit, maybe..? but lhh is running out of mana. and suddenly, the sentences he's hearing change.
「What is Dokja ahjussi doing now.」 「Does he even think about us.」
shin yoosung's height. her weight. favourite things, the food she likes, her dislikes. her hobbies and specialties. favourite cartoons, favourite novel, favourite person. what she thought when she watched him. as the incitement went on, it was like the information was consuming him.
「Ahjussi.」 「You know what.」
[taming] and [advanced diverse communication] break off, but incite continues. he can't think of anything else. the nagak approaches.
「I really miss you.」 「But.」
are these shin yoosung's thoughts. or a story that was never written.
「I really hate you.」 「I hate you so, so much.」
lee hakhyun cannot think. from behind him, there's a voice.
"you did it ahjussi. i've tamed them all."
he doesn't recognize the person behind him.
"who..." "me? shin yoosung!" "shin yoosung... is me?" "...ahjussi?"
there's a system message. a side effect of excessive incitement.
the child notices the ancient nagak. realizes he was trying to tame the it, and says that's not how you do it. and... easily tames it. ???. with no more enemies left in the dungeon, it will close soon. lhh can't believe it. what he couldn't do, was so simple for her. who had trouble taming the normal nagaks until just now..?
"Shin... Yoosung..." The child happily nodded. "Yes! It's me!" "I'm... Shin Yoosung." "You're ahjussi?" Shin Yoosung tilted her head and quietly smiled. Then she stretched out her hands and clasped my cheecks, and began to slap me on both sides. "No! I'm Shin Yoosung! Wake up!"
incite's influence slowly weakens. lee hakhyun cannot remember who he is. he asks, who am i? shin yoosung leans in, eyes shining gold, and whispers.
"ahjussi is kim dokja."
lee hakhyun passes out.
-
shin yoosung looks at cheon inho on the ground. ahjussi still faints all the time. ...why did he have to be cheon inho?
lgy notices that shin yoosung is there. gets annoyed, says it's unfair, complains that he doesn't have anyone to possess. they bicker a bit, and sys says the constellations are noisy, do the dokkaebi even manage their channels? looking up, to her surprise, there's sparks. all the other constellations are complaining that the screen is broken.
she smiles at the sleeping cheon inho, seemingly having a nightmare and sleep talking. there must have been a lot going on, and still more that will happen, events more impressive than the stories they have lived and built together. she hated herself for thinking that.
there's a lot she wanted to ask. but she knows she can't get an answer. lgy tells her this isn't the ahjussi they know, and she says she knows. but this is still ahjussi. the two children look down at the sleeping cheon inho.
and then, something shiny from the ancient nagak flows to cheon inho's body. another message,
[a new 'loss' will be recorded.]
it was small and faint, but sys realized what it was. a story.
[the 'loss' will be recorded on the 'final wall'.]
sys freezes. a distant wall looked down upon them. lgy steps in to protect sys, while the world gazes at them. it says.
「th is pla ce is no t an area allo ca ted to yo u.」
the dungeon collapses.

How akward is dinner when Jaune and a limping but smiling Willow joins the others?
it was a bit awkward.
-------------------
It's dinner time and Team RWBY and most of their friends are enjoying a delicious 5-course meal. Too bad they can't savor it because of the show in front of them.
At the entrance of the dining room. They see Jaune enter wearing an open-necked dress shirt, black dress pants, a black belt with a silver buckle, and black dress shoes. Next to him is Willow smiling and wearing a white dress that reached to mid-thigh. The two of them look relaxed, but willow has a little limp when walking.
Willow: Sorry for our absence these last few hours. We were having a great time with each other. That we did not realize the time.
Weiss: *Quietly* Oh god.
Willow: Oh, I see you guys are eating our chef's specialty. Let's sit Jaune, you have to try this food, it's exquisite.
The two of them sat together and the waiters served them their dishes, steak with shrimp.
Willow: *Holding a piece of meat with her fork* Jaune, please say ah~
Jaune: Aaaah *Eats the meat that Willow gave him*
Willow: It's good?
Jaune: It's delicious.
Willow: *Smiles* I'm glad you like it. Now try the shrimp. Say Ah~
Meanwhile, the others don't know what to do.
Ruby: *Feeling awkward* Nora, can you pass me the salt, please.
Nora: Here! *Gives the salt to Ruby*
Yang: *Looking at Jaune and Willow* Damn, I think your mom really likes Jaune.
Weiss drops her face into her soup.
Klein: Miss Weiss!!
Blake: She really doesn't like that.
Willow: Excuse me, I have an announcement to make.
Yang: Do you think she's going to say what I think she's going to say?
Blake: Maybe.
Weiss: *Still on the soup* Kill me, please.
Willow: *Smiling* I'm getting divorced!
Weiss snaps her head up
Weiss: *Smiles* Really?! Wait, are you doing this so you can marry Jaune?
Willow: Marry him? *Giggles* Oh no, I'm doing it to separate myself from that terrible man, your father. I also plan to regain control of the company.
Weiss: Oh great, I thought you were going to marry Jaune.
Willow: Oh Weiss, I'm not marrying Jaune…
Weiss: *Smiles*
Willow: ...yet.
Weiss: *Worry* Huh?
Willow: *Excited* We are now dating. Surprise!!!
Weiss: NOOOOO!!
Yang: Damn, Jaune was able to achieve every man's dream.
Blake: Go out with a sexy woman with money and power to support him?
Yang: Nop. To go out with a sexy milf.
Willow: Oh another thing I wanted to tell you. If you wish, all of you can sleep tonight in our house. I know how cold the nights can be in Atlas. So please stay and I'll make sure you guys are warm tonight~
Willow then grabs Jaune's leg under the table.
Weiss: I'm sorry mom, but we-
Ruby: That sounds great thanks!
Weiss: Ruby?!
Ruby: What? Willow leans closer to Jaune's ear.
Willow: *Quietly* I'll keep you warm all night~ *kiss*

KJY - "Roland was a character whose eyes were fixed behind in many ways. When he first ran into Salvador, he anxiously kept looking backward and left himself open for a surprise attack. But, there was one time in the past where Roland could look ahead, and the encounter with Angelica is what I think brought change to Roland’s life. With Angelica gone now, he’s regressed to watching behind and reminiscing about the past. To Roland, Angelica is an angel that brought much pain as well as much happiness to him. Overcome with the grief of losing his angel, Roland wanders until he meets another angel: Angela is the source of Roland’s suffering, but at the same time, she gives him a reason to keep on living by any means. I remember the artists at Mili explaining to us as they worked on the song that ‘Gone Angels’ expresses Roland’s determination to kill that angel with his own hands and leave nothing behind."
^^^^^^ that makes me feel so many things
also you know, i only just now realized roland comments on all the groups of characters at the top of their pages <*bad eyes*
some stuff he says:
"Charles’ Office. A band of myself and the eleven Fixers who followed my lead, despite all my shortcomings… Being in the northern part of the City meant many of us had pretty extravagant outfits. I remember laughing at the way Astolfo dressed, too. We were together for quite a long time, and it felt like our company would last forever, but here we are now, going our separate ways. This wasn’t an unexpected outcome, though. I’d wonder if they’re alive and well from time to time, and it was good to see Olivier at the very least. I sometimes miss those simpler times when I could just focus on the now and live in the moment."
(about pierre & jack) "A restaurant aged 11 years in the streets of District 23; although it’s not super popular or anything, it has quite a few regulars. Its specialty is meat-based foods, and the main dish is Pierre’s signature thick meat pies. I’ve never tried one myself, but according to its patrons… the abundance and juiciness of the meat make for a fantastic meal. Now here’s the funny bit: some people don’t seem to know what the pie is made of. Well, Pierre, the head chef of the establishment, isn’t the type to babble out for things no one asked. Besides, we’re talking about District 23… the streets of flavor, y’know? Whatever methods or ingredients were used to make the food… most of those folks don’t pay any attention. They’d rather be taking another bite out of their tasty grub if they have the time to ask questions." (hmmm...)
(about the 8 o'clock circus) "...Perhaps that circus could be the place to restore your smile, forgotten in the hum of everyday life. I’d like to see a performance myself if I ever get the chance." (?? roland you saw what oswald did though......well if he wants to see the circus he can go see the circus <3 love & peace)
(about the smiling faces) "...The Smiling Faces apparently enjoy flaking human flesh into thin fillets to eat… They’re definitely far from the only ones known for cannibalism, but you’ve got to admit, their flesh fillet is something to behold. It’s uncanny how they can make the fillet so thin that you can see through it. Not like… I want to ever eat it." (HMM!? WHY DID U PAUSE)
(about liu association) "...That’s why most Fixers try not to get attached to each other; too many couples end up losing their significant others sooner or later. But, once you feel the warmth of someone precious, you can’t easily let them go. I sometimes wonder what the right thing to do is, if you lose someone who naturally became a huge part of your life." ( D: )
(about liu again) "I must wonder how it feels to be able to cherish something. To make choices for one purpose and even forfeit everything else in order to protect what’s precious. To restrain yourself from grieving for the deaths of the few to save the many who live on; to risk all you have for the sake of your loved one. I suppose it’s not the most unusual feeling. Everyone vaguely senses it, but no one bothers to delve into it. How could one name it… Love? Sympathy? I don’t think it will ever be possible to define this with a single word. A simple word wouldn’t do it justice, either. Nevertheless, it is a matter worth considering time after time."
(about distorted yan) "It sounds like there are beings comparable to gods in the City, such as the Prescripts. I think I’ve seen ‘em a few times myself… although they’re not memories I want to revisit..." (hmm...?)

#wg story #platonic weight gain #mutual gaining
enjoy this shitty little wg story 🍔🍟
It’d been a month since Steve and Robin had made it official, as roommates that is. They’d both saved a little cash throughout the year and were able to land a steady job; Steve worked near the Bodega as a Specialty Team Member meaning he’d go from retail salesman to a food runner at the restaurant around the corner. Whereas Robin worked double shifts at the Cinemark. The jobs were shitty and the pay was less than either had hoped but it saved money on the grocery bill and acted as the perfect distraction to the absence of Nancy and Eddie. With Nancy off at University, writing letters between classes and Eddie in California checking out music opportunities, everyday was spent moping on the couch or eagerly waiting by the phone. Needless to say, the two hadn’t been handling the distance well.
“M’home, brought pizza!” Steve sighs as he steps into the apartment, back aching and feet sore from work. “Christ, you would not believe the crap my boss lets’ these people get away with—some lady is stuffing a necklace down her purse and I’m the one who has to apologize! So stupid.”
”Well, at least you weren’t the one scrubbing puke from the theater floor. Some kid ate too much candy and upchucked in the middle of Star Wars,” Robin groaned, whipping the sleep out her eyes as she shuffled into the kitchen. “What’d you get?”
”Meat lovers, obviously. They had a discount so that one’s Hawaiian.”
”Yes! I haven’t had this in forever,” she chuckled. Hungry, Robin was quick to grab some plates and even brought out some of the leftover fries she’d packed away during her shift. “I’m gonna microwave these but I’ve got popcorn too.”
”Sounds good, but I will never understand how you can enjoy Hawaiian of all things—It’s disgusting,” he judges, tossing his bag onto the couch before grabbing himself a couple slices.
“Whatever, you’re just uncultured. Now shove over!”
That night they polish off two pizzas, two popcorn buckets, a box of fries and end up going out for ice cream as dessert. Both too bloated to do much more than sleep the food coma away before getting ready for work. It wasn’t anything new either, for the past couple months it was nothing but reheated junk and movie marathons spent either crying about how much they miss their partners or drunk giggles as they wrestled. It shouldn’t be surprising when Robin can’t seem to button her work vest and Steve has found himself needing to sit down between shifts, yet the two are in utter denial.
“Shit—Ate too much,” Steve burps from where he’s leaned back on the couch, a beer in hand as he stares down at himself. Gut bloated and swollen where it lay atop his legs.
“Mm, tell me ‘bout it,” Robin groans from the kitchen, hands rubbing tiredly at her own stomach as she leans against the counter. “It’s your—*uurp*—fault. Bringing home all that pasta.”
”It would’ve been thrown away! And I didn’t see you complaining on your third bowl,” Steve shoots back, taking a swig before hoisting himself up, the movement making his gut slosh.
“Shut up…Shit, I need something sweet, I don’t know,” she burps. Pulling down lazily at her shirt as she heads towards the freezer. From where she stands, fridge light illuminating her plump figure, it’s clear Robin had given in to her gluttony with her plush thighs and rounded sides. She hasn’t been able to see her feet for a month now but she told herself it wasn’t that bad, that it was ten pounds at most.
“Oh yeah, here we go,” she chuckled as se finally found the tub of ice cream that’d been shoved to the back. It was brand new, a large tub clearly meant for parties but she didn’t care. With little shame she popped open the lid, grabbed a spoon and plopped onto the couch where she dug in.
“Hey, share! How come you get the whole tub?” Steve drunkenly whined yet made no effort to grab any.
“Because, that’s why,” she teased between a mouthful of vanilla ice cream. It was Neopolitan, her favorite. Scoop after scoop, she kept going, the tub now halfway empty. “Mm—Fuck—*uurp*—“ she hiccuped. Looking down her stomach was a sight to behold, bloated and sitting out past her breasts, groaning as her insides squirmed from all the cream she’d forced down her throat. Even with the pressure in her underbelly, Robin kept going, instead bringing the tub to her lips as she slowly chugged. Each gulp sitting heavily in her belly, the hem of her shirt riding up past her belly button which had deepened from fat. With a wet ‘pop’, Robin pulled back and tossed the empty tub to the floor, hands holding the sides of her gut, “Fuck—*hic* gonna be—*uurp*—sick,” she burbled.
“Christ Rob, you're like that blueberry girl from….from uh…,”
“Willy Wonka?”
“Yes! I mean look at you,” Steve giggled, drunk off his ass but still lucid enough to tease her. Staggering up to his feet, his own belly sloshing, he fumbled his way over and promptly poked the top of her swollen stomach, a burp escaping her from the sudden pressure.
“Ugh, go away,” she huffs, shooing Steve away as she attempts to get comfortable.
By morning Steve is hungover and late for work, while Robin doesn't even twitch, still stuck on a food coma from the amount of food she'd eaten.
Another month passes and both of them have eaten their way out their uniforms, embarrassingly too bloated to even try to suck in. They knew they'd been eating a little unhealthily, but that was just what being a young adult was: you fucked around, ate shitty food and owned a shitty apartment. It was normal, right?
Looking down at the scale and realizing she'd put on 50lbs within three months was far from normal, and with Steve not too far behind, the two actually looked at themselves and realized just how big they were.
“Fuck, fuck! Look at this!” Robin whined, grabbing at her love handles, her plump fingers unable to reach her own belly button. “Steve, I can't…Fuck, what does it say?”
“It says you're fat Rob! And what about me?” Steve groans from where he stands shirtless in front of the mirror, pants too small to fit over his thighs. “I put on 60lbs, that's…I mean I can't even get my pants on!”
Rolling her eyes Robin attempts to zip up her jeans, which have barely managed to slip on, but her belly keeps getting in the way. No matter which way she tries it, her fat pools out at all sides, keeping her from even seeing the zipper. “No, no, no–This is not what I need right now,”
“This is your fault you know? Always bringing home slushies and candy, I had abs Robin!”
“Me? You're the one who was bringing home lasagna and pastas and all the garlic bread! You're bigger than me!”
Side by side the two look ridiculous: barely clothed, glutted and bloated to the gills, cheeks flushed and pride hurt. But worse than that, neither was willing to admit the small part of them, that was a little excited seeing themselves so big. Sure they had felt the weight coming on, had known they'd put on a few, but something about actually seeing the numbers on the scale had their stomachs in knots.

Okay, so my little test run is officially 5K+ and I've only just started the smut-- I may be charmed by the idea of Izou/Nikia/Thatch.
But on a side note I've started developing some horrifying cryptid threats native to her islands specifically so scroll on if that doesn't interest you.
I've started specifically with what I lovingly call 'Snipe Owls' which are fucking massive and rarely seen by anyone but rest assured, they are there.
They closely resemble barn owls but have these trailing feathers they dangle in conjunction with spreading their wings over their head. Giving a false impression of where their eyes are as they take aim. I haven't nailed down the how's, but they have a pocket of fluid that freezes when exposed to air and they spit it out at high speeds towards their prey. Effectively sniping as a form of hunting.
They prefer to stay in wooded areas and the process of moving the fluid into a 'ready' stance produces a sound best described as 'a gurgling scream under rustling leaves' which is their feathers moving to distract their prey and make them look in their direction. Which is necessary because their favorite prey is very skittish and has incredibly dense skin.
Like rabbits but Big As Fuck with bear claws, they dig burrows into dense snow. Their ears are massive and come in sets of two and three. Two for make and three for females. They naturally have observation haki as a defense mechanism. They bolt at the slightest sign of trouble but can be caught off guard. Their weak spot is their eyes, which is why they have false spots just above where the brow bone is thickest. You're not likely to penetrate their pelt with any conventional blade, making them incredibly difficult to skin. But their meat is a delicacy and their pelt prized for coats. A skilled butcher can manage with fine tools but unless you can use haki, it's no easy feat.
Despite being known for their timid and skittish nature, they have been known to react violently to intruders inside their burrows. So if someone has the misfortune of collapsing a tunnel and falling in, they rarely make it out. And not just because they're effectively trapped. Your best bet when hunting is to remain outside their burrows, no matter how easy it is to infiltrate.
I've considered a massive 'retired' sea king that more or less sleeps just off the shore of the islands. An excellent excuse for why bigger ships are personally escorted to and from the island. Just to ensure no one accidentally wakes Old Joey. Just for fun. Likes to curl around the mini fishman/mermaid city between the islands. Just an old dude who likes to vibe lol
As a side note, Snipe Owl feathers are a sign of a superior gunsman, specifically snipers. It's tradition for a sniper to successfully hunt and kill a Snipe Owl and retrieve it to be harvested. Not particularly liked for their meat, it is still fairly tasty and their bones make for great crafting materials, if a little fragile. The feathers are made into a caplet to be worn during official ceremonies. In conjunction with a Snow Rabbit's pelt jacket, few every feel the need for better clothing. Which is why it's a rite of passage to take down a Snow Rabbit as a test of skill and present the creature to be made into a custom coat.
Naturally, Nikia has both a Snow Rabbit jacket and a Snipe Owl caplet. Her specialty weapon is a sniper rifle after all. Both hunts requiring excellent tracking and haki use to pull off safely.
These two animals are all I've got so far as decent explanations for how people can just 'go missing' without a lot of fuss after breaking the laws. Some are genuine misfortunes, but more often the rangers stepped in to take care of it to ensure the safety of the Islanders and guests.

RWBY X Justice League: Superheroes and Huntsmen Part One Review (No Spoilers)
Dedicating this to @fallentitan98
So if I had to sum up the movie in a sentence, it would be-
“This should have been about 30-40 minutes longer.”
Summary:
So basic idea of the movie is ‘What if the Justice League found themselves in the world of RWBY as teenagers?’ This basic idea guides the whole movie, from the tone of the Justice League characters to how the movie is presented. 
Unforunately, both RWBY and ESPECIALLY DC are heavily dense properties with a bit of history at least behind them. So this causes some...issues.
Characters:
When it comes to a crossover event, judging characters is rather different since you have to judge them based on how they are portrayed in relation to their original counterparts. I will relate the DC characters to you but my focus will have to be on RWBY as that is my specialty here.
For DC, we have the likes of Superman/Clark, Wonder Woman/Diana, Batman/Bruce, The Flash/Barry, Green Lantern, Vixen and Cyborg. ... I grew up with the 2000′s JL cartoon, I just have the names of those four stuck in me okay?
With Vixen, Cyborg, Green Lantern and Diana- they seem consistent with the popular depiction of their characters. Cyborg is a bit sarcastic but well meaning; Vixen is frustrated by the situation but also confident and upbeat; Green Lantern is having issues which becomes an arc she gets and Diana is basically a warrior poet.
Barry is...off for reasons.
Clark has two lines in the movie that seem a bit too confident for him but that could be something that pops up in certain incarnations. Otherwise, he is the same Man of Steel as always- pure, wholesome, kind, responsible and having a grounded wisdom to him. To be truthful, Clark and his interactions with Ruby were my favorite parts of the movie.
And then we have Bruce. Bruce has an arc centered around a key aspect of the Batman character and how it can conflict with the core of who Bruce is as a hero- determined to save people. It can be considered massively missing the mark OR an exploration of Bruce’s character. It’s weird, much like the movie itself. But no, he is not a joke in the movie nor is he a generic brooding man. He is a calm, cool, smart and analytical man.
As for RWBY characters...things are off with them.
Yang, Blake and Jaune are perfectly fine. They’re relatively consistent to their Beacon characterization with Jaune lacking some of his patheticness, instead using his ability to support others both figuratively and literally which works because spoilers.
Ren and Nora have a...not-love triangle thing with Cyborg (this is not a spoiler, it does nothing) that feels like 95% of it was cut. Other than that, they’re consistent too.
And Ruby has an arc that involves Clark that makes sense for her character (especially if you watch Volume 9) but because the movie is like a skeleton- the meat of the arc is a bit lacking.
Gonna be honest- The RWBY cast feels the most off between them and the DC characters. Which makes sense when you consider the writer is from DC, not RT. Still, I would say it functions as intended. Just not very smoothly.
Animation:
The animation is actually pretty damn good. The fight scenes have good flow to them, a good sense of speed and momentum for the most part, interesting action. And the more casual animation works- faces emote and move properly, movements and gestures are effective in communicating the meaning behind the characters’ words.
This is one of the best showing for the CRWBY team yet.
Humor:
Almost entirely subjective. All I can say is it’s standard RWBY fair minus 2D anime cliches. Also no, this is not MCU humor. RT was doing this in RvB in 2004.
Plot, Pacing and Tone:
youtube
Okay, it is REALLY hard to talk about this without spoiling anything because good lord, is this movie densely packed.
Character interactions and plot progression are often mashed together with each other, which can often result in very awkward lines. Fortunately for DC fans, this is almost entirely on the RWBY end. Because much of the awkwardness comes from the writing needing to explain RWBY worldbuilding to the DC characters without having enough time for exposition. For example, Weiss outright calls Dust a ‘natural resource’, which while true has NEVER been how Weiss has talked about Dust in the past.
As for tone- it’s similar to Volumes 1 and 2. Some serious moments but general light hearted fun. Both DC and RWBY characters become the butt of jokes as well as moments to have more emotional and vulnerable instances. It’s not deathly serious like many DC properties nor does it have the same gravity as something like the 2000′s JL cartoons. But it’s not Teen Titans Go. It’s a mix of plot and humor.
Conclusion:
The whole movie feels...weird. I think this is what ‘rushed’ was originally supposed to mean. At 80 minutes, this is a rather short movie and it doesn’t really work. Humor and animation are fine because time doesn’t usually affect these. But the plot and especially the characters? There’s just not enough time to go through the proper steps. Things like the reveal of the villain or Ruby and Bruce’s arcs could work. They’re not exactly failures but they have been stripped of their meat. And the meat is what you taste in a movie, not the bones that make up the structure.
Bruce’s writing might set you off- it’s the biggest risk taken here. And the RWBY parts are a bit...off. So I can’t say this was fantastic or great. But it does give some good action, the character interactions between Ruby and Bruce, Yang, Blake and Diana; and Jaune and Green Lantern are great and the rest is given a real shot, just without the time to flourish.
All in all, an honest but stumbling effort of a movie.

Ch. 16 -Swimming With Sharks
Kobeni stared at the cup of water in front of her, watching as the droplets of condensation rolled down it's side and forming a small puddle. The sound of the otherwise lively establishment around her was drowned out by a persistent static, white noise accompanying her straying thoughts. She had been dragged to another unfamiliar hole in the wall by Himeno who saw her anxiously trembling in front of Makima's door earlier and insisted on lending her support. Although so far the extent of that support had been ordering a series of incongruent specialties and bottom shelf beers. For her part, Kobeni was still deep in her own thoughts.
"You know you really should try some of this stuff, it's actually pretty edible"
Kobeni gave a passing glance at the plate in front of her, skewers of presumably meat jutting out of a bowl of thick brown liquid. She had partially zoned out when Himeno was placing the order so she wasn't actually sure what this was but the presentation acted like a strong enough deterrent on it's own.
"N-no thanks, I'm not that hungry"
"More for me!"
Himeno plucked a skewer from the bowl and brought it to her mouth, deftly removing the sauce drenched meat from the stick in one fell swoop. The range of expressions she conveyed after a each bite was startling, and a little frightening. Kobeni could not conceptualize what kind of flavor or texture could elicit such a reaction but curiosity alone wasn't going to make her risk trying it. Their meal was interrupted by the arrival of a third, as a red horned devil angrily stomped over to their table in a huff.
"YOU LOCKED ME OUT AGAIN!! I demand you apologize!!"
The spiky toothed figured crossed her arms and began tapping her foot, seemingly counting each passing second so she could demand a grander gesture in pursuit of her forgiveness for the time spent idling
"I did no such thing, you just left your keys on the counter like you always do, Powy~"
Himeno moved her hand back down to the bowl and pulled out another skewer before offering it to Power in an attempt at wordless appeasement.
"YOU'RE LYING! AND STOP CALLING ME THAT, MY NAME IS POWER! you must have hid them from me! I demand you escort me back to my home, THIS INSTANT!!"
Power slammed both hands onto the table in a fit of frustration before sliding them forward and grabbing the entire bowl, pulling it close to her chest and pawing at the skewer Himeno was still holding, refuting the peace offer and taking what she felt she was owed.
"I can't do that, I've got to help Kobeni here get ready for her little outing with miss Makima this weekend"
"That's not my problem!!"
Power puffed out her chest and pouted, puffing an angry breath from her nostrils, posturing at the table. Himeno smirked, planting her elbows on the table and locking her hands together before leaning her head on them. Kobeni sat there, nervously observing their display. It was like watching someone try to tame a wild animal with a staring contest, and what's more, it looked like Himeno was winning. Power could only hold her tantrum for so long before her impatience got the best of her and she relented.
"FINE! You there, cry baby, tell me what your problems are and I'll use my superior intellect to solve them for you"
She drilled a finger into Kobeni's shoulder. Her face was like that of a moody toddler, showing complete disinterest in Kobeni's concerns, fixated only on how furthering this train of thought would serve her own goal of getting back into Himeno's apartment. The thought of the two of them living together was eager to occupy Kobeni's already overburdened mind, but she sensed making Power wait longer before giving her an answer wasn't going to end well for her.
"W... well t-the thing is"
She turned her head to Himeno, fishing for an approving nod, like asking a pet owner if this course of action is likely to get them bitten or not. Himeno returned a reassuring smile, which in tandem with Power's impatient prodding spurned her on.
"W-we're going to the aquarium... a-and..."
She mumbled sheepishly, tucking her hands into a clump between her legs and ducking her head down to avoid eye contact. Her insecurities were starting to rear their heads again as she began to doubt herself with each passing word. She decided on the aquarium after seeing a leaflet, it looked promising at the time but was this really somewhere Makima would want to go? She couldn't really picture it that well, what do you even do with someone at the aquarium? Talk about starfish? The more she thought about it the more sure she was that she messed up, that Makima was going to hate it and grow tired of her after realizing what a loser she was. As she continued to spiral, Power grew tired of her muttering.
"Huh? Speak up, I can't hear you"
"W-we... um..."
"They're going to the aquarium"
Himeno interjected, not wanting to leave Kobeni at the mercy of Power's impending verbal abuse.
"The aquarium? That's lame! Who would want to go to the aquarium!"
Kobeni let out a short and dejected murmur. Her self-doubt, now reinforced by someone else's words, grew staggeringly. This was the first time she took the initiative and it was deemed a spectacular failure before she even got to try. The persistent jabbing she felt from her anxiety was replaced by an overbearing tide of anguish, resonant in it's victory. Himeno cut in, too late to stop the injury, she would have to do her best to treat it.
"They have sharks at the aquarium"
"...sharks?"
Power raised a curious eyebrow, she didn't know what a 'shark' was per se, but she surmised it was something of interest to her, since Himeno brought it up.
"They can smell a drop of blood from a quarter mile away"
"Hmm"
Power paused to ponder.
"Alright human, you've convinced me, you'll be taking me to the aquarium this weekend! I demand to see the sharks!"
"I... bu-"
Kobeni stuttered. Power backing down from her aquarium apathy did fill her with some small modicum of reassurance that she could try to build herself back up from, but this new proposition wasn't exactly a welcome addition.
"I don't think miss Makima would appreciate you taking Kobeni away from her, Powy~. I think she'd by quite upset at you if you did that"
Power froze, in what was for her an uncharacteristic manner, not even snapping back at Himeno's nickname for her. A wave of fear coursed over her. Kobeni was a hardened veteran of this wing of the emotional spectrum, the way she reacted was less like someone who'd been told they'd committed a social faux pas and more like an animal remembering the feeling of having their paw put over an open flame. Did she have some sort of history with Makima? Before Kobeni had a chance to ponder the matter further, Power regained her composure and returned to her proclamations.
"After further consideration, I don't want to go to the aquarium with you anymore, Himeno will take me, so she can grovel for my forgiveness for locking me out of my house again"
"Alright, but if you wanna go to the aquarium you're gonna have to wait outside while we finish up here"
"Fine, BUT I'M TAKING THIS"
She reached across the table, grabbing a handful of Himeno's unfinished food before confidently marching back outside. Seemingly asserting her self-perceived victory.
"D~do you think miss Makima is gonna like the aquarium?"
Himeno didn't have some special insight on Makima's love of marine life, but that wasn't really what Kobeni wanted to hear. Right now she needed a friend to hearten her resolve and help set her on her way, and that was something she could do.
"Well, I think she likes you, so I think she's gonna have a good time no matter where you take her"
Kobeni blushed, not entirely sure sure what to do with this thought. It wasn't really something she could buy into yet, but hearing Himeno say it made her heart race a little. She'd finally overcome her urge to repress her own desires, and while she still had a long way to go before she could accept them, she had a guiding star to lead her there.

Cooking with Rainier 🥘🥪
This was such a fun prompt, I really liked this! I hope you enjoy! <3
Reblogs/Comments appreciated 💌
-Rainier would be so happy that you're learning with him! He spends all night looking for human-safe recipes that he wants your opinion on; He takes your word very seriously. 
-Since Rainier comes from a world that seems more hobbit-ish/Middle Earth-like (Going by the magic, the dragons, the Magister) the dishes he'd be familiar with would most likely be very meat heavy, savory and with earthy vegetables like potatoes, turnips, and gourds (squash, pumpkin, etc) 
-To be honest, though, I think he'd be alright eating raw meat, but it is nice to learn how humans use fire to make such delicious smelling and tasting things! 
-In the kitchen is Rainier's specialty. It seems like it was there he was unbothered, and he could experiment with different things to his liking. (At least things he wouldn't have to feed the Magister) 
-If you're not very kitchen-savvy, it's a learning-teaching process together! Although Rainier is familiar with some ingredients, it's not in the Scorching Summit; It's on Earth. And yet, modern stoves and ovens are so amazing and convenient!
-"It cooks that fast? We don't have to wait all day for it?"  :O It’s a game changer. 
-If you're very good at cooking, Rainier is eager to learn alongside you directly! He wants to know how to make the softest bread, the best steaks, he wants you to show him how so that he can do it for you later! 
-It's very adorable when you guide his hands, he's focusing on the task so hard, but also wants to flirt with you- So he does both! 
-"This is amazing!" He says, taking a bite of a treat you made. "It's sweet, and pretty. Just like you." He grins.
-"I can't imagine doing all of this without you. It wouldn't be the same, it definitely wouldn't taste as amazing."
-If you accidentally spilled something, flour or icing on your face, he'd absolutely kiss you to get it off. "You've got something on your face, MC." smooch "Got it!"
-Do it back to him, he'll be caught off guard but it'll be cute. It may or may not turn into "a battle afterwards, leaving you with 1/4 less batter than you needed. 
-On tough days, whether it's housework or something else, he doesn't mind cooking dinner for everyone. But he always appreciates it when you join him, to cook or to just be there with him. 
-shaking and sweating Dorian/Fictif, someone on tumblr, post Rainier's bio that tells his favorite food I'm begging you, please- What do you need from me? What do you want? 
-Until that day, he loves to make his own spiced mead, it warms the soul. It's good for your soul. 
-Having a meal with the one you love and then getting to curl up and drink cider and mead...Perfection. Nothing like it. He loves those days. 
-Rainier will always be your taste-tester, and give feedback if something’s missing or too much. He usually has a good idea what to add or balance out, but sometimes he just likes to eat what you make, and won’t complain when you pass over another spoon. 
-I think he would also stress bake. He might not eat any of it, just making dozens of dozens of simple treats until he doesn’t feel so down anymore. The only potential problem is…Will you eat 56 cookies with him? 
-For some foods, here's a few I picked out that I think would work well! These are medieval dishes by Max Miller, a super entertaining channel with history and amazing recipes all in one! 
-Sambocade Cheesecake 
-Aztec Chocolate - Blood and Spice
-Quesadillas Cernidas
These are some that look good to me! But any culture or nation you come from, Rainier would no doubt love to try everything! Anything you make, he’ll eat. So get cooking!
~End~
