Second Time of Consideration - SU Soft Jock Fic

Summary: After tutoring Steven Universe, Connie Maheswaran is brought to a familiar question.

Sequel to First Time of Consideration.

Created by @borkthemork.

—–

Suspicions were always a breakthrough to revelation; either by profound curiosity or persnickety cajolery, Connie always found a way to get the answer she craved when it came down to problems in her life. If there was a situational problem—such as with an algebraic equation (with its word sentences and its fetish for formula implementation) that needed more logical thinking than basic run-down memory—then she would zone out for a few minutes to test the pathways she had. Of course, she didn’t fully zone out, but her moments were full of focus, honed in on answering the small question like a dog to a bone.

When it came to Steven, it was a chase for answers that she never expected to be fully requited for. He wasn’t an enigma, per se, but he was definitely someone that she wanted to know more about. It all came down to a few questions, but the most important being: how far will they go as ‘friends’ now that she trusts him?

It’s a silly thought if she pondered about it too much, yet it made sense to her. There was a new feeling of relief ever since that night—nestled in the arms of a legitimate friend, warm to the touch from shared heat—and she couldn’t help but ponder over it again and again and again. Jeez, it made her feel like an infatuated YA protagonist from just thinking about it; it wasn’t like she was leaning towards him for romance like the schlock she’d find at the bottom of a dollar store bin, she just had to wipe her mind of that idea and just think about the main picture.

He’s now her friend. That was the start, but will it work out?

What was supposed to be expected from her?

—–

It was a beautiful evening, and Connie had a lot of thoughts to peruse over.

For one, she had to organize the upcoming tutoring sessions. Discussing with Steven’s dad over the phone had allowed her to get a better idea of what needed to be done; just the standard change in schedule, the shift in what should be focused on, and the typical thought process of what she was going to use to help him remember a formula or symbol. It wasn’t overwhelming. It’s enough for her to fiddle with her hair, frustration simmering low in her stomach, but it’s a tolerant feeling compared to other intense scenes from her life.

The second one is where the true introspection came about. Steven had asked her to come over to the café to talk about something—why he never asked about it through text was something she wanted to ask but it was too late now, she walked all the way here with her laptop bag and going back is just going to be a waste of time. Might as well get her favorite order for a day such as this.

An expresso.

Five creams. One sugar.

Enough to bring her through the day like always. Like any other day, actually. This is just the first time she’ll ever do this where her pupil invited her without the intention of tutoring. Huh.

First time for everything? She had no clue how to describe the feeling—she wanted it to go away.

“Oh, hey!” She looked up to see the boy in question. His smile gleamed, the sunlight hitting him in soft hues that made her nestle more at his expression. She had been used to seeing his chipper self like this for a few months now. It was relaxing to look at. “Sorry if I’m late.”

“It’s fine, you did mark the time as one p.m. after all, so you’re on the dot.”

“Oh,” he blushed before pulling back a chair. “Yeah, you’re just early.”

Connie couldn’t help her giggle.

He was in his typical clothes—the letterman, the cartoon shirt, the crisp yellow and blue—but the casual air around him was potent. There doesn’t seem to be a worry on his mind for today, an elation seeping through from how he tapped his fingers on the table and gosh, his smile just kept beaming at her like he was seeing the aurora borealis. What was he thinking about?

“Sooo, I want to talk to you about something.” He started.

“Don’t you want some food though?” She took a sip from her espresso. It wasn’t piping, thank the lord. “They have a special on pastries today, one of your favorites too.“

Steven went starry-eyed. “Mega-classic éclairs?”

“Three fifty-nine.”

“Aw, man.” He groaned, nestling his face onto the table. “I should’ve gotten my wallet.”

“Why didn’t you bring your wallet?” She asked. “It’s a long trip from Beach City to Ocean Town, did you have snacks in your car and you ran out?”

He gave her a nervous laugh. “You can say that; snacks sound great right now, though.” Suspicious, as always, but she couldn’t help but feel sympathy over it.

“Let me buy one for you.”

He stiffened. “No, I wouldn’t want you to go that far for me.”

“I’m just gonna buy an éclair.” And a hash brown to curb his hunger. And an additional salad. With a cup of warm cocoa. Now that she’s looking at him closer, he seemed to be shaking—hypoglycemia, perhaps?

“Really, I wouldn’t.”

“Steven,” her voice was stern, eyes piercing into him with intensity—the other staring back with pooling uncertainty. “I didn’t walk three miles to have you deny that you’re starving in a café. I have money, and I know you’re hungry, so let me treat you for one day.”

He just rubbed his neck. Looking back at the displays of food, Connie noticed him shift in his seat, until he gave her a quick nod and a small thank you under his breath. There it was, the go-to. She stood up, motioning him forward to come along; she needed to know what he wanted.

When they returned, their tables were decorated with food platters. One of them continued to sip on her coffee, and the other gorged on his egg salad and banana bread without a moment’s notice (his éclair and hot cocoa on stand-by in a napkin). She wondered if it was enough for him, from how his form twitched every so often, the sight of him plowing through like a lawnmower. “You need to be careful about this stuff, Steven.”

He looked up, his question muffled by the contents in his mouth.

“Uhm, Steven.”

He swallowed. “Sorry. Like what?”

“Your diet. There were no snacks in the drive here, were there? Did you eat lunch? Breakfast?” Worry was one of those vital things to feel about something like this. She doesn’t know how frequent his episodes were, but she knew the tell-tale signs of someone who’s health was weaker than the cafeteria awning.

“I had a protein shake for breakfast.”

“And what else?”

His stare became unfocused. “An orange.”

She brushed a hand through her hair, hoping the tension growing in her body would dissipate. He had to be joking; she knew the college diet was horrible—especially with the growing money problem—but she couldn’t stand the idea of him, in particular, doing that to himself.

Connie inhaled, focus boring at the weight in her bag. “I’m going to buy more food for take-out. We’ll split it—fifty-fifty.”

“But you already gave me so much,” he wiped a bit of egg salad from his lips, a frown now adorning them. “What about you get all of it?”

“Fifty-fifty.” She grimaced. This was getting a bit too much. She didn’t want to argue with him. “Okay, wait, what about sixty and forty?”

“That could work.” Steven fumbled with his fork. The prongs poked at the remains of his food, the éclair still uneaten. “But are you sure? I won’t be that hungry when I get back.”

“Just see it as a thank you from me.”

“A thank you?”

“For being my...friend.” Her throat was heavy, cotton-like, but she kept going. “You did so much for me, I have to show off my gratitude somehow.”

Connie hated sentimentality. There was something about it that brought submission or nakedness to these conversations that she didn’t enjoy by a long shot, but the way Steven beamed at her—even through his continued tremors and their small tension—made her relax more than she ever would’ve predicted. It was comforting. It didn’t accuse her of weakness; he understood, even if only a little.

“You deserve the best after all.” He told her, plopping the last of his banana bread into his mouth. “You’re amazing.”

Okay, this is getting too sentimental.

“All right!” She coughed, trying to ignore the heat from her cheeks. “So, what did you want to talk about?”

“Hm?”

“The thing you wanted to talk to me about. The reason why we’re both here.”

”Oh!” He took a swig from his cocoa. “Almost forgot about that. I wanted to know if you’re okay with going to a party with me and the girls.”

She tapped at her coffee. Why does this feel so familiar? Connie bit her lip. “What type of party?”

“Just a normal party. Natalie told me it’s near that huge park area with the big tree in the middle.” Oh no. “There’s gonna be a DJ, lots of music, food, games.” Oh God, no. “And the best part, a buttload of people to dance with!” How can he call it normal even after all that?! Is he out of his mind?

Connie swallowed, the lump in her throat remaining even after her best effort. “And...you want me to go?”

“Yeah!” Steven’s smile hurt her more and more—he really wanted her to go. “I mean, you don’t have to go if you don’t want to, but since we’re friends, I wanted to see if you’re comfortable with it now.”

Connie Maheswaran. What are you supposed to do? You can’t just say no.

“Connie?” She looked at him again. His features contorted in a frown, her heart sinking at the sight. “Is everything okay?”

”I’m fine. I’m just thinking.” Thinking lead to worries, and worries lead to anxieties. But she knew that she had to keep her cool, she didn’t want to be a mess over one of her first-established friends, she might as well be waving red flags that she can’t be his friend at all with the way she’s acting. “I’ll gladly go, it—it sounds like fun!”

His eyes lit up. “Really?”

“Yeah.” She pushed down the protests in her head. If she was going to make the effort of being his friend, she would have to push some boundaries. “I want to go with you guys, just tell me the date and when you’re picking me up, then I’ll prepare.”

Even with the fear toiling in her gut, Steven’s flushed elation—his little squeal calmed by the munch of his éclair—made it sound worth it. It shouldn’t be that bad, right? It wouldn’t be like the previous times? Her doubts, turbulent and murky, kept themselves present even as discussion changed, leaving her to feel a sense of foreboding when the two of them departed moments later at the door: one holding a big takeout bag in their hand with sunshine radiating from his gait, the other trying to curb the idea of stress eating as she embarked on her miles-long walk back to her dorm.

Un-Convention-al

Fandom: Sanders Sides

Pairing(s): Logince (Logic | Logan + Creativity | Roman)

Rating: Teen (for swearing and Remus being Remus)

Content Warning(s): some swearing, a couple of typical Remus-like comments (nothing too bad here tho), food

Length: 3,679 words

Brief Summary: Soulmate September, day one! While at a convention, Roman ponders his rather unconventional soulmark. And maybe, just maybe...he might find the person whose name is encoded onto his arm.

TS Masterlist + AO3 Links

“Heyy, Spock!”

Roman rolled his eyes as his brother raced over to a black-haired, pointy-eared cosplayer. This had to be the stupidest thing he had ever done, and this wasn’t the first time Remus had dragged him into weird shit, so that was really saying something.

Watching as Remus spoke excitedly with the dude, Roman couldn’t help but wonder why he had allowed his brother to drag him to one of his nerd convention thingies. The only acceptable thing about this was that this Captain James T. Kirk character was obviously exactly like him, so even if he was acting as some geeky TV show character, at least it was a valorous protagonist, he supposed.

Roman tapped his foot impatiently, looking around the hotel lobby at all of the booths advertising anime and mango and cartoons and whatnot. Yeah, yeah, he was supposed to be supportive of his brother and whatnot after everything, but couldn’t he have held off the supporting thing until tomorrow, at least? Roman could’ve—should’ve—been across town, meeting that famous soulmate linguist guy that was in town, but nooo.

Remus snagged the cosplayer by the wrist and dragged him over, grinning madly underneath his facial prosthetics. Which, of course Remus had to choose one of the weird characters to cosplay—what was his name? Wolf? Wharf? “You two match! We gotta get a picture!”

“Very well.” Sighing and rolling his eyes, Roman acquiesced, moving over to the poor kid. He slung one terra-cotta arm around the kid’s shoulder, striking up a pose. Best to let Remus have and do what he wanted without fighting too too much; then maybe he’d get tired sooner and they could leave sooner.

Remus backed up, bringing out his phone to take the picture. “All right, say tribble!” Remus called to them.”

“Say what?” Roman puzzled, while the cosplayer said, “That is highly nonsensical and—”

The flash of the camera interrupted them both.

“Fuck yeah,” Remus enthused. He looked appraisingly between Roman and the other cosplayer, and nope, Roman did not like that look one bit. Remus always got that look when he was up to no good. “Say, Spocksie,” he drawled, “if you’re not meeting up with anyone, wanna hang with us today?”

“I could’t possibly intrude in such a manner,” Spock tried to politely decline, weakly attempting to disentangle himself from Roman.

Wait but no, that was actually a good idea for once. If this guy stuck around with them, Roman wouldn’t have to deal with Remus on his own. He could share in the shame.

“Oh, but I insist!” Roman said quickly, tightening his hold ever so slightly. He winked, hoping his stunning self could win over the nerd. “As your captain, I command you,” he joked. Wait, uh. Kirk was Spock’s captain, right? Gosh, there were too many Star Trek series to keep track of. How did Remus do it?

“I...very well, if you insist,” the cosplayer said carefully. “If you truly do not mind.”

“Of course we don’t mind!” Roman let go of the guy to splay a hand across his yellow-clad chest. “I’m sure you’ll love the chance to bask in my glorious presence.”

Spock turned to look at Remus, who was practically vibrating with energy. “Tell, me, is he in character or is he always like this?” He raised an eyebrow. “I do not recall Captain Kirk being so...self-absorbed.”

Roman squawked as beside him Remus howled with laughter, and maybe this wasn’t such a good idea after all.

---

To retaliate for the whole “self-absorbed” comment, Roman sentenced the Spock cosplayer to sitting in a panel for an hour with Remus, while Roman aimlessly played on his phone outside the auditorium, thankful that they only had two tickets and that the rest of the tickets had sold out before they got there.

Judging from the smile on the kid’s face as he and Remus walked out of the door, debating amongst each other, he realized that sitting in a stuffy, crowded fandom panel was probably paradise for a nerd, not a punishment. Ah, well. At least he’d had time to try looking up some new online translators, even if he’d had no luck actually translating what he’d been trying to translate for five years now.

As he stood to meet the two, Roman’s right hand slipped over to his left wrist, where it slipped under the sleeve of his sleeved yellow command shirt and unconsciously began rubbing at the characters tattooed across his skin.

Soulmates were something that everyone had, and without fail, the name of your soulmate appeared on your wrist at thirteen, so there was nothing to be confused about there. And there were so many different languages and writing systems out there that having a name written in a different language or in different characters wasn’t out-of-the-ordinary, either.

What was out-of-the-ordinary, however, was that nobody could decipher the characters written across Roman’s arm.

Five years since he turned thirteen, five years since those weird-looking letters appeared on his wrist—five years of family and friends and schoolmates and teachers and even linguists gaping at them, five years of not being able to figure out what they said, what name and secret they held.

And who knows? Maybe if Roman had gone to meet that linguist instead, today could’ve been the day he finally figured it out.

But no, that wasn’t Remus’ fault. Remus had planned on this con for over a year now. He couldn’t take his frustration out on Remus.

“Did you have fun, nerds?” he asked as he strode up to them.

“I got to ask about pon farr.” Remus grinned leeringly, and Roman wasn’t exactly sure what he was talking about, but he was fairly certain that he didn’t want to know. “And Spocky-wocky here totally nerded out about Klingon.”

“Oh. Uh. Excellent,” Roman said jerkily. Did he want to know what that was, either?

His grumbling stomach made the decision that no, he most decidedly did not. At least, not for the moment.

“Why don’t we find something to eat?” Roman asked the two. “I don’t know about you two, but I myself am famished.”

Remus immediately turned and flounced away from the two of them. “Sounds dee-lightful to me, broski. I saw this stand selling astronaut food!”

Roman and the cosplayer—Roman really would have to ask his name at some point, he couldn’t just keep calling them “Spock”—hurried after Remus, and soon enough, the three were eating (more like gagging on) freeze-dried ice cream, animatedly discussing Kirk and some gal Uhura who apparently had been part of the first interracial kiss on television (“Could be gayer,” Roman said. “Could be gayer,” Remus agreed, staring mournfully at the empty packet in his hand. He had been the only one to actually enjoy the space food.)

The conversation had moved to Kirk and Spock, Remus adamantly insisting that the two had been more than friends and coworkers. He and the Spock cosplayer had a rather lively debate over it—none of which Roman understood in the slightest, so he let himself get distracted. He couldn’t help but wonder what the cosplayer would look like beneath the cosplay. The guy’s bright eyes were mighty pretty while he argued with Remus.

Mid-sentence, Remus’ eyes drifted over to Roman, and he looked away, hoping his staring hadn’t been caught. He wasn’t one to look at people that weren’t his soulmate—all the same, when you didn’t know what your soulmate’s name was, it was quite hard not to. If Remus got any ideas, though, Roman was doomed.

Sure enough, That Look appeared in Remus’ mischievous brown eyes, and he abruptly interrupted the debate to announce that he was going to go buy some more food, racing off before either Roman or the Spock cosplayer could respond.

Roman and the cosplayer instinctively turned to exchange a glance with each other, then Roman quickly looked away, flushing. Now he’d realized that the dude was kinda attractive for a nerd, he couldn’t stop thinking about it.

Great.

“So,” Roman said awkwardly in an attempt to break the awkward silence between the two. He fought the urge to run a hand through his hair, reminding him that Remus’ soulmate would murder him if he messed up the borrowed blond wig.

“So,” the Spock agreed. He paused before continuing, glancing between Roman and Remus. “The two of you are...friends? Boyfriends?”

“Ew. Oh, god, no.” Roman gagged. “Ew ew ew.” He looked across the floor at his brother, standing in line to buy some odd foreign candy or something. “He’s my brother.”

Spock nodded sagely, staring as Remus paid for a handful of...something. “Your brother?”

Roman watched Remus shove the entire handful of candy in his mouth, gagging. “...He’s adopted.”

Roman caught Remus’ eye from across the room, and Remus grinned at him, his deep brown cheeks puffed out like a chipmunk as chunks of something slipped out of his mouth.

“Very adopted,” Roman emphasized.

The cosplayer let out a light chuckle, and oh, that was a nice sound. “You’re clearly out of your depth here. You are a good brother for indulging him in this.”

“I...suppose,” Roman said slowly, tamping down on the sudden rush of guilt over having wanted so badly to leave the convention. “So, do you have any siblings?”

The Spock nodded. “I have a younger brother of my own. Unfortunately, he lives across the country with our mother, so he could not come today.”

“Oh.” Roman blinked. Oh, shit. Had he just brought up a sore subject? Shit. “I’m sorry.”

“It is quite all right,” the cosplayer said mildly. “When we graduate, we have plans to attend the same university, and we see each other enough on holidays.”

“That’s good! That’s good,” Roman said. Oh, by Zeus’ thunderbolt, why were his attempts at maintaining conversation so miserable today? Usually he was so good at this.

Across the floor, Remus seemed quite content eating on his own, not coming back to the two of them standing so awkwardly together. He couldn’t rely on Remus to figure out some dorky topic to talk about.

Finally, grasping at straws, Roman lowered himself to asking about nerdstuffs. “So what was that thing Remus you were talking about during the panel? Cling wrap?”

The cosplayer looked mildly affronted, and dammit, if Roman fucked up again—

“Are you referring to Klingon?” he asked, cocking his head slightly to the side.

“Yeah! That!” Roman rushed out. “What’s that?”

The Spock gazed at him in wonderment. “You truly know nothing about Star Trek, do you.”

Roman shrugged helplessly.

“Klingon is a species of alien, alongside a language,” the cosplayer said, moving his hand up to his face and jerking it away at the last second. “Apologies, I forgot that I was wearing contacts for this cosplay.” He cleared his throat. “Your brother is cosplaying as one of the few Klingon characters, Worf. The Klingons are portrayed largely as bloodthirsty antagonists throughout the series.”

“Ah.” So that was why Remus had chosen to be one of them.

“Personally, I myself am more fascinated in their language than I am anything else,” the Spock explained. “They actually hired a linguist to create an entire language and alphabet for the series. Klingon is one of the most widely-spoken fictitious languages.”

Wait. Roman frowned, confused. “People speak fictitious languages?”

“Well, yes, of course,” the cosplayer said evenly. “All language is made-up, and besides, it is logical that dedicated fans would pick up some throughout the television shows. I myself speak a bit.”

Roman snorted. “What do ya know.” Maybe that’s something he would have to add on his list of language to look up—he had almost exhausted dead languages and alphabets, might as well see if his stupid soulmark matched a fake language. It wasn’t like it could hurt anything; he wasn’t going to find them regardless.

“Aw, you’re not making out?” Remus was back, standing in front of them once more.

“I—no, of course not!” Roman blustered.

“Why ever would you think—” the cosplayer stammered at the same time.

Remus grinned widely at them, flashing a pearly white, seemingly threatening smile.

“Wow! Would you look at the time!” Roman exclaimed loudly, not looking at all at the time. “Why don’t we go and look at some of the booths and tables, Commander Spock!” He grabbed the other cosplayer’s hand and rushed the two of them away as a snickering Remus followed from a distance.

As the trio navigated the crowds of people and tables of merch, Roman ignored the fluttery feeling in his stomach and the childish glee over how the cosplayer had yet to pull his hand out of Roman’s.

---

Before Roman knew it, the end of the day had reached them, and they were ushered out alongside other convention-goers. The rest of the day had passed much more quickly than he had expected, with someone else to share his grief over Remus being Remus, and good hour or two he had completely forgotten why he’d been sulking about going in the first place.

Roman, Remus, and the cosplayer that Roman still hadn’t gotten the name of lingered on the sidewalk outside of the Marriott. There was no real reason for them to stay, but despite the Spock cosplayer’s nerdiness, Roman had discovered a shared interest in Broadway and analyzing Disney, and he almost wanted to ask for the guy’s number, awkward and embarrassing as it was.

But Remus thankfully beat him to the punch. “Say, Jabberspocky, can I get your number? My brother over there is too boring, so he never likes to talk about nerd things. I could use more cute geeks in my life!”

The Spock nodded. “That would be amenable,” he agreed. “It has been most invigorating to discuss the intricacies of the Star Trek universe with you.” The cosplayer swung around to look at Roman, looking almost...nervous? “Would you like to exchange numbers as well? You are a worthy debate opponent when it comes to Disney media.”

“Oh.” That was a compliment, right? Well, Roman was taking it as a compliment. He preened. “Of course! It would be an honor! ...For you, of course.” He grinned jokingly.

The cosplayer rolled his eyes good-naturedly, fishing his phone out of his back pocket, unlocking it, and handing it to Roman. “If you wouldn’t mind filling out your contact information, please.”

“Most certainly!” Roman pulled out his own phone and tossed it at the Spock cosplayer, who just barely caught it with his fingertips. Aw, cute, the nerd was clumsy. He focused in on the phone in his hands, typing in his name and his phone number. “There we go.”

When the cosplayer took his phone back, he glimpsed briefly at their contacts in his phone, then glanced away.

He froze.

Baffled, Roman watched as the cosplayer’s wide eyes retrained themselves down on the cell phone screen.

“Is...is everything all right?” Roman asked, feeling a spark of worry. Did they somehow know each other from elsewhere? Had he or Remus done or said something in the past?

“Oh, my,” the cosplayer said in a slightly-strangled voice. “We...I never asked what your names are, did I?”

“No, I don’t think so.” Roman mock-bowed. “Roman Sanders, at your service.” He gestured over at his brother, grinning. “And that oaf is Remus.”

“Oh, my,” the cosplayer repeated, breathless. He looked almost anxiously up at Roman. “My name is Logan Lehrer.”

Roman smiled reassuringly. “A most lovely name!”

“Is it....” The Spock cosplayer—no, Logan—hesitated. “Is it, by any chance, a familiar name?”

Furrowing his brow slightly, Roman pondered it. “...I don’t believe so,” he said at long last. “Why? Do we know each other from elementary school, or middle school, perhaps?”

“No, I just—” Logan sucked in a breath. He fiddled with the hem of his blue science shirt. “May I—” he said haltingly. “May I see your wrist?”

“My wrist?” Roman tilted his head, bewildered. He held out his right wrist. “Why?”

“No, no, I mean your—here.” Logan reached out a shaky hand, gently grasping at Roman’s left wrist. And—oh.

Oh.

Roman held his breath as Logan slowly tugged back his sleeve. There was no way—was there? Or...maybe?

Logan stared at the white symbols etched across Roman’s tannish brown skin. The five symbols, Roman now realized. Five symbols, five letters...just like Logan’s name, maybe?

Then Logan began to laugh.

Roman blinked. He had only known the guy for, like, six hours, max, but the quiet, reserved nerd he had seen so far did not seem like the type to burst into mad fits of laughter.

“Are—are you all right?” Roman asked, totally lost. What was happening here?”

“Oh my—” Logan wheezed, and Roman now was genuinely concerned. Should he call an ambulance? Should he go back inside and find the medics they had at the event?

“Whatever is going on that’s so funny?” Roman questioned.

Trying and failing to speak through the chuckles running through his body, Logan rolled up the sleeve of his shirt and practically shoved his wrist in Roman’s face, still trembling from laughter and nearly whacking him in the face.

“Oi—” Roman prepared to snap, mildly offended, but the name written across Logan’s wrist caught the words in his throat.

Roman.

Sweet Sif, Roman was Logan’s soulmate. That meant—

That meant Logan was Roman’s soulmate. That mean that, whatever language it was written in, Logan’s name was written on his arm. Logan’s. Logan.

“It’s,” Logan wiped a tear of mirth from the corner of his eye, straightening up and slowly composing himself again. “Th-that is my name on your wrist, Roman.”

“It is?” he heard himself say dumbly, as if from a distance away, still not sure that this was really happening.

“It is,” Logan confirmed. He carefully lifted Roman’s wrist to his face and traced the characters with a thin fingertip.

Roman bit back a whimper. Oh, god, he never wanted Logan to stop touching him. Hell if that sounded inappropriate.

“This is my name,” Logan said, struggling to maintain a straight face, “in Klingon.”

Roman was silent for a good minute, processing this information, until finally he realized, “Wait, Klingon? Like, that made-up alien nerd language?”

Logan’s cool facade cracked, and he grinned down at Roman’s wrist, cheeks a rosy red. “Indeed, it is ‘that made-up alien nerd language’ Klingon.”

“Why the hell...?” Roman wondered, bemused.

“I am afraid that I have no idea,” Logan informed him, still scrutinizing Roman’s wrist. “There have been records of soulmate names being written in Ancient Greek and the like before, but I don’t think anyone has recorded any in Klingon before.”

Roman could have puzzled over this for ages more, but as it finally occurred to him, this was his soulmate standing in front of him. Shouldn’t he do something about that?

Wriggling his left wrist out of Logan’s loose grasp, he cupped the other teen’s face gently in his hands. Logan’s pale whitish green makeup was coming off in his hands, and the two of them no doubt looked ridiculous from an outsider’s perspective, but he found that it didn’t matter to him in the moment.

“I must say,” Roman said quietly. “While unexpected, this is most certainly not an unwelcome development.” A suave grin danced its way across his face. “I’ve been eyeing you all day, cutie.”

Logan’s breath puffed out softly against Roman’s face. “I....” The loquacious cosplayer seemed lost for words again as he pressed closer. “I—”

“Oh, go get a room already!” a warbly voice interrupted them.

Roman and Logan sprang apart, their cheeks heating up equally in embarrassment.

“Yeah, that’s right,” Remus grumped. “I’m still here.” After a moment, though, he brightened. “Oh, wait! This means you two can go on double dates with me and Janus and we can make out and embarrass you!”

“Please, do not,” Roman groaned, He reached out for Logan once more, reveling in the tiny squeak he let out, and he buried his face in Logan’s hair. “You ruin everything, asshole.” It was a playful jab, though; without Remus there to drag him to the convention, he might not have ever even met Logan.

So it had been a good thing after all that Roman had gone with Remus to this geeky convention thing, instead of to hear that linguist’s lecture. All the linguists in the world couldn’t have helped him beyond deciphering the words on his wrist. All the linguists in the world couldn’t have quite literally grabbed his soulmate by the arm and dragged him over, like Remus did.

“Thank god!” Remus realized, gleeful. “This means you’ll finally stop complaining about being lonely forever!”

“We’re soulmates,” Logan realized, sluggish. “We—I have your name on my wrist. You have my name on your wrist.”

“Oh my god,” Roman realized, dismayed. “This means I have a nerd language stuck on my arm for the rest of my life!”

Although, if it meant being with Logan for the rest of his life...perhaps a permanent nerd tattoo was a small price to pay.

Roman untangled himself from Logan and pulled away, biting back a grin when Logan instinctively chased after him. “Wanna come get milkshakes with us?”

“That would be satisfactory.” Logan nodded his assent. “However, we might want to take off our cosplays first.”

“Nah,” Roman dismissed. As a theatre kid he’d been to plenty of Steak ’n Shakes in full stage makeup, and he was pretty sure all the local Cookouts knew his order by heart at this point. “That’s part of the fun!”

Roman reached out and grasped Logan’s hand in his own, pulling him with as Remus began honest-to-god skipping to the car. The three broke into easy banter about the best milkshake flavors, and this time Roman couldn’t hold back the grin as Logan passionately decried the practice of dipping fries in shakes.

A small price to pay, indeed.

so... i’ve seen people use snow day, little graduation and prickly pair as proof steven is definitely 17 going on 18 now and... tbh i don’t know if i buy it. like. admittedly, i haven’t cared enough about this to research it in-depth, but here’s just some feelings and initial instincts, and it’s open for commentary.

so, little graduation. i never got the sense it’s such a 1-to-1 to an actual school they only do graduation once a year. that seems really impractical considering gems can join whenever and they’re not constrained by set, regulated summer and winter breaks the same way humans are. i get the sense that it’s WAY more fluid - gems graduate when they’re “done” with their education and adjustment, whatever time of year that happens to be. that also fits with how the gems would do a school without human norms - how amethyst can just tell everyone to do whatever while she hangs with steven, for instance. it’s not a very high-stakes, pretentious or rigorous place.

it’s also probably not a place with time-set graduation considering the off-colors graduate without the ex-corrupted gems that would have started at the same time. which leads credence to the notion that they graduate based on when they’ve internalized the lessons and grown enough as people, NOT based on typical school year graduation dates.

i also don’t really vibe with using snow day as proof, cause like... beach city has always been portrayed as somewhere that is pleasant and with standard green cartoon trees most of the year. there’s only rare snow days. hence one bad day would be enough reason to shut down a school. i can tell you as a northerner, we do Not shut down school because of snow. we’d lose months of education. so i don’t really buy that it’s summer or anything near it in the first few episodes - and it no longer being snowy in the next ep doesn’t mean many months have passed. snow can melt fast, especially if you live somewhere slightly warmer.

if i were to guess, the movie is right after steven’s 16th birthday (august), and then future starts up just a couple months after, maybe around late october-early november. then snow day is in december, and with the eps after that, now we’re ~around february. maybe early march at the latest.

i know some have also used the plants in prickly pair as proof, due to how fast the plants grew, but... that’s something where i honestly think it’s the cartoon logic where steven is just a very good gardener, so he manages to grow lots of stuff in a short time. how long X plant would take irl has very little bearing on it. different universe, different rules.

the pacing of the episode makes it feel like it takes place over a few weeks, at most - certainly not several months. and maybe he started on some of them before graduation (there Are some plants in there from before, even back when the movie aired!). point is, more plants = looking busier, and i think they were more concerned with having appropriate plants for the people steven were projecting onto (connie, lars, onion, etc) than measuring Exacty how long each would take to bloom irl.

so... yeah, with this loose framework, steven would be around 16 and a half. i feel like that’s a fine timeframe for his stagnation, and I feel like it’s supported by how the concept drawings of this steven always refers to the design as “16 yr old steven”, not older teen steven.

i could be wrong! this isn’t a topic i am super concerned about, so i haven’t done the deepest of research... but i’d still argue that if your proof is “in the background there’s this one plant that would take 6 months to grow irl”, or “irl graduations usually happen around may/june”, i don’t consider that substantive proof. they rely too much on SU’s universe working exactly like our world, and ignore evidence to the contrary (such as off-colors graduating on their own - being excited about earth from the start, they were most receptive to its lessons and how to adapt to their newfound freedom).

Ternet Ninja review (spoiler free)

When you mention the years 2004 and 2018, animation fans will tell you that these are the releases for The Incredibles and its anticipated sequel, but it also happens to be the time frame for another sequel gap in animation: Anders “Anden” Matthesen’s Terkel in Trouble and its spiritual successor, Ternet Ninja. Terkel, with its sharp sense of humor, is a massive cult hit among younger millennials and older gen Z kids here in Scandinavia, so now that Anden returns to the director’s chair, was it equally worth the wait as Brad Bird’s followup was, or is he better off committing seppuku after this? Let’s find out

The story

The movie spends its time answering a rather simple question: what if a possessed killer doll were to be the good guy, merely motivated by revenge on an evil man? The answer is a well told buddy story with its own set of twists and turns. If there’s one grievance I have, it’s that it has a very telegraphed third act misunderstanding, but even then, the scene where Aske and TN make up is still well put together with some great jokes. Speaking of which, the humor is also rather well done. It’s notably more subtle than that in Terkel for reasons I’ll speculate about later, characters don’t swear as much, and jokes aren’t unneccessarily crass solely for chock value. There are some references that might come off as dated, such as fidget spinners and dabbing, but again, they’re subtle, and I’d say Ternet makes these references in the same way Captain Underpants makes low-brow humor: Not out of a cynical belief that it’s the easy way to make kids laugh, but to tune in to the kids’ wavelength while being self aware about it. What the story offers has minor issues, but these are overshadowed by its positives

The animation

To an outsider, this might look like a rather generic 2010s CGI movie, but when you put it into the context of being a Terkel in Trouble followup, it truly shines for what it is. The animation had to have this look, partially because it comes from a small country, partially to match the more subtle humor, but especially to be an upgrade to its predecessor without being jarring, so the characters have a more realistic look to them that you can still buy as belonging to the same world. As for the character animation, it’s more on the energetic side, but is very capable of slowing down for quieter moments, something that Terkel really didn’t pull off too well. It also has a lot of creative moments, such as TN ventriloquizing with Aske as the dummy, or our two protagonists building a structure on the local playground and using its construction against Glenn. It also shines in its action scenes, being a big step up from Terkel.

On top of that, it has a scene done in 2D. In a better world, there would have been a certain treshold for CGI movies incorpating 2D in specific scenes that, when met, would bring back 2D, and in that better world, that treshold would’ve been met when Sherlock Gnomes did it. But alas, we’re still here, starved for those scraps of 2D that are thrown in every now and then. And I can’t say no to this 2D. I can only really describe it as having the general aesthetics and limited color palette of Kung Fu Panda’s 2D scenes with the stiff, paper cutout look of Quang’s Song from Terkel, and I’m really digging it

If there’s one thing I don’t like all that much, it’s the designs of returning characters. It shows that these characters were originally purposed for the rubberhose style of Terkel and that it doesn’t necessarily translate to this movie. Stewart looked jarring at first but I eventually accepted it, but some characters, like Arne and Terkel, straight up look younger than they did when we previously saw them. I struggle to believe that this Terkel is a father.

It might look generic on the surface, but for what it is, it’s very well crafted

The characters

There are only really three characters that take the front seat, but that’s all this movie really needs, so let’s get the others out of the way first. Sune is Aske’s brother and the comic relief alongside Aske’s friends, Jessica is the love interest, Glenn is the bully, Aske’s parents are mercifully not the typical asshole parents you’d see in a movie like this but don’t really stand out too much. These characters just provide a backdrop and that’s perfectly fine

As for the characters that debuted in Terkel, they play a similar role to the recognizable cartoons in Roger Rabbit and the video game characters in Wreck-it Ralph, all of them except Stewart are one-scene wonders and their main purpose is to draw in an audience already familiar with these characters, though Stewart has a major impact on the plot

To the main three, we have Aske, Ternet Ninja and Philip Eberfrø. Aske initially comes off as an audience surrogate, but gets a pretty well developed arc in which his friendship with TN (the heart of the movie by the way) causes him to care less for minor inconveniences in his life and more towards fighting for justice. He is also a pretty believable kid character, as we understand that the reason he’s so occupied with petty matters is because he’s just a kid who hasn’t really opened up his eyes to bigger injustices in the world.

Philip Eberfrø is the villain of the piece, being the owner of a sweatshop and having blood on his hands. What little we see of him committing acts of evil is hard to watch, but he spends most of the movie looming in the background. Certainly not a memorable villain, but a more down to earth and realistic one

And THEN there’s Ternet Ninja himself, Being a possessed doll with one very specific motivation only: Making Philip Eberfrø pay for his crimes. On the surface, he seems to act on pure samurai logic and tends to take things literally, which clashes with Aske’s modern suburbia life, but to a degree, he seems to be obfuscating that persona, seeing as he knows enough about petty school drama to weaponize it against Aske when he does not cooperate. He definitely has a mischievous streak and impersonates Aske on several occasions to further his own agenda, but deep down, he has a soft spot for the kid. There’s a lot more to him, but he really has to be seen to be believed

The movie doesn’t give a lot of characters development, but the development it does give is given where it matters

Verdict

This is a worthy followup! While certainly not perfect, Ternet Ninja gives us far superior animation to its predecessor and a mostly enjoyable story with a good heart, as well as well crafted humor. It certainly has problems, but few enough of them for me to give it my seal of approval

Story: 9/10 Animation: 8/10 Characters: 9/10 Overall: 9/10

Space Empires / Colonisation

A part of the story in my comic will involve an alien race mass attacking another alien planet, for that stereotypical Independance Day alien take over. Then the aliens getting attacked will make first contact with Earth to warn them of what’s comming to them. And basically I thought to myself about all the sci-fi alien things I’ve ever watched and came to the conclusion that if they are invading like 9 /10 times in movies or shows there will be an empire behind them, and they usually attack in the first place to either harvest Earth as in either kill the people and use the planet as their own or steal our resources. Something like that. Also very often the aliens have a fatal flaw of a mothership or a mother alien creature and if she dies all the aliens drop dead all of a sudden, and I know that I definitely want to avoid this trope. I probably won’t have enough time to even explore it in the first place as I’ll only draw few pages of the comic. But anyway I wanted to take a look at some of alien races and their space empires to get a closer look of their stereotypes and what makes them different from each other and what cliches ( like the mothership) they all follow.

The most obvious space empire I can think of is the Star Wars Galactic Empire. And being honest it doe’s follow the trope of a mothership via Death Star and does have a singular leader - The Emperor, but being honest unlike a lot of science fiction movies their entire empire did not collapse after the destruction of the first or the second death stars. And neither did they stop after the emperor got killed, which is quite interesting because a lot of movies don’t explore what happens after the main story events, and by a lot of other movies logic when the death star got destoyed the empire would be no more. Meanwhile here no matter what happened there would always be people that were loyal to their cause and did not immiediately switch sides or see what was wrong with what they were doing.

The way of control this empire has is not your stereotypical alien invasion, mostly sending soldiers onto the planets, giving them a choice of you either join us or we’ll make you join, and potentionally blowing up the whole planet if they couldn’t be bothered to deal with them. They were also shown to take slaves and kill their own soldiers if they had to.

The Galra Empire from Voltron Legendary Defender is kind of similar as in they have a singular leader figure - also an Emperor and a single base, and here too after the base got destroyed and their leader was killed the empire did not fall apart. They actuall had this cool trial like ceremony where the stronges general that would prove his strengh by defeating all the other generals in combat would become the new emperor, and even though the next emperor won fairly in that trial he was infact the son of the old emperor which kind of hints that the empire has a line of succesion and isn’t as democratic as it claims to be.

I really like how here the empire isn’t really brainless like in a lot of science fiction media where the heroe’s have to defeat a faceless army because ‘evil’. Here a lot of the generals admirals and even plain soldiers are shown to have personality, have names and relations to other character which makes the viewer sympathetic towards them even if their overall trait, as in the entire empire is fascism, proven by the fact they destroy planets and take slaves from them as well as on many occasions claim other alien races are lesser than them, even towards people who are mixed species of their own race and another alien type.

“The Harvesters are a race of sapient, spacefaring aliens which travel from planet to planet like a galactic swarm of locusts, devouring each world's natural resources before moving to the next one, bringing their entire civilization in massive ships. “

“The Harvesters are little more than nomadic looters. They do possess far superior technology, including enormous fleets of ships; defense fields to prevent missiles from reaching their ships' hull; highly destructive weaponry and protective biomechanic suits. When invading an inhabited planet, the aliens' military tactics consist of large-scale attacks, destroying the major cities around the globe simultaneously and then heading to the next largest, presumably going on until there is nothing left.”

The Harvesters are your very typical, cliche alien race made up of a faceless army of aliens in disposable quantities, and a death of their space ship or even the entire colony has no meaning to the viewer, the plot or even their fellow aliens. They also have a queen who serves as their mother who is a lot bigger and stronger than they are (a lot like Aline) and once she dies they all die. And although the aliens have technology much more advanced than the humans do they also follow the cliche of ‘the ship has a fatal flaw’ as well as ‘it can only be destroyed from the inside out’ that happens in so many movies and shows. Overall this alien species is so clich and stereotpical you might say this one is what people base their own cliche aliens of off.

“The Horde was founded by Horde Prime at some point in the ancient past, though its exact origins remain somewhat mysterious. Using an armada of spaceships, the Horde traveled through space conquering world after world and expanding their empire. Horde Prime used clones of himself as soldiers in his armada. A clone who was Horde Prime's greatest general was declared defective by Horde Prime so the clone was send on a suicide mission. “

I wanted to also have a look at examples of this space empire trope in different types of media like cartoons for example, because here it follows the exact same cliches as I layed out before and in fact is a total mix between the more believable realistic empires like the ones in star wars and voltron meanwhile having all the flaws of alien empires like the Harvesters and the Chitauri. I get this is a cartoon but everything is so toned down here that it makes no sense t the point where the reason for this empires galactic conquest is ‘because space evil empire’ which is definitely something you want to avoid as a cliche. Like lets be honest the alien empire are always the villains, no mater what sort of movie, show or cartoon it is from, just always the bad guys it’s basically a rule by now. But who would want the villains to be as boring as being evil for the sake of being bad like come on that’s not very compelling story telling.

For my story I will most definitely not have time to explore why my ‘alien empire’ is doing what they doing but i want to at least mention some sort of thing to as why not just they are attacking these guys becaue I need a villain in my story.

“The Chitauri are a sentient species of cybernetically enhanced beings operating under a hive mind intelligence. Subservient to Thanos, they were most notable for being the first major threat to Earth that required the formation of the Avengers when they attempted to commence a planetary invasion as part of an alliance between Thanos and Loki. “

I won’t say much about this empire as its basically a copy and paste of the harvesters with every single cliche there could be. Army of brainless faceless soldiers the audience has no care or connection to - check, a mother ship that makes ass the aliens die after it’s destroyed -check, although here I’ll give credit because at least they dont have a mother alien figure that had to be killed for them to die, it is made pretty clear that they are technologically enhanced so if they are controlled by lets say an AI or something along these lines it makes sense they wouldn’t be able to use their technology anymore but I can’t really buy the fact they all just drop dead. Like that’s just way to convenient.

I already made a movie review for The War of The Worlds so I won’t say much here either. This is once again your very typical alien invasion movie but there’s a few things I found really col about this alien species one of which is we actually get to see what they do with the planet: which is change the ecosystem to better suit their needs. And I thought it was really cool because most movies when they have aliens show up to earth to kill all the humans, the movie doesn’t really look into why they want to do this, viewers usually just assume either they are just evil and want to take control over the Earth or they are just getting rid of the humas so they can live here instead or use our reasources I don’t know. But unlike those here we see the aliens actually change and shape the Earth to suit what they need which is cool because not every alien will breath oxygen, it might be poisonous to them as far as we know, and this is even more supported by the fact that the aliens never leave their ships and we only get to see one right at the end of the movie which does infact die the second it leaves the ship. Also another thing I really like about this alien species is the fact it wasn’t humans that defeated them, because thats the most obvious thing like 90% of alien invasion movies do. Humans defeat them, but here the entire movie it’s shown the aliens are far more advanced and have been planning this invasion since our ancient times so it just wouldn’t make sense for them to all be killed by some guns and drones. I really love that they died from bacteria because it makes a lot of sense actually, not the most obvious thing but to an alien species that did not take into consideration and simply overlooked the details it’s actually quite interesting.

Order Up! – Calgary Daycares & Their Food

Written by Marlene Alcon Kepka

@AlconKepka

| 10 MIN READ |

Kids and food. The eternal struggle. Most Calgary daycares struggle with this… the ones that offer food anyway. We sure do.

How important is nutritious food to your child?

Are all Calgary daycares the same when it comes to quality?

Is catering the same as having a chef on-site?

What can you do as a parent, so your child eats and eats healthy?

All important questions to ask any daycare. Food is a very important part of your child’s development. It’s as important as the academics and level of care.

But there’s a huge difference in feeding your little one a hotdog and ketchup or a whole wheat bun with sliced, fresh ham. All food isn’t equal in nutrition, taste, and cost.

Your children probably love the junk food and not the healthy food. That’s typical for children…heck… even us adults. Who doesn’t love a greasy pizza or burger?

A treat here and there is fun and great for the kids. We just must be careful not to overdo it. There’s an obesity epidemic right now. Nutrition is important.

via GIPHY

We Love Food!! A Bit Too Much

Canada, like the rest of the world has an obesity problem. If you add over weight to that its even worse. Obesity rates have tripled in the last 30 years. Our children are larger than they have ever been.

Parents and Calgary daycares need to take this very seriously. Obese children can get a lot of health issues.

Bone and joint issues

Diabetes

Heart disease

High blood pressure

Breathing and sleep issues

Those are some of the physical side affects of being obese. This is for kids and adults alike. Children have it a bit worse. They start young so changing the behavior is harder and the negative affects compound over time.

I know through my years working at and owning a daycare there’s another side that is just as bad and, in my opinion, even worse. The emotional side of being obese or overweight.

We’ve all seen a funny move or commercial with a “fat” kid that does something silly and usually falls over. We laugh and the move or even cartoon is great.

What we don’t see in the movies or cartoons is the emotional toll that takes on children. Being picked on for being overweight is hard on children. They can get bullied and treat very differently than their thinner friends.

A few emotional affects to being overweight are:

Low self-esteem

Bullying or teasing

Depression

Feeling left out

The good thing is that some Calgary daycares understand this. But many don’t. Knowing which take your child’s nutritional health into account is huge.

Michelin Star Daycare?

Your child is having an amazing day! Playing, learning, and getting to know his peers even more. The sun is shining and it’s a beautiful day. Your child is running and learning. They’re hungry.

Now the questions is; does your child get a Greek yogurt and homemade granola parfait with fruit on top. Or a pre-packaged sugary “breakfast cookie”?

What about lunch? Is it a whole wheat vegetarian lasagna made from scratch that’s filled with veggies or a hotdog?

Which would you rather they eat? Which would you rather feed your little one?

Our daycare chooses the first one. Is it as popular as the sugary or nutrition devoid options? No. Kids love hot dogs and sugar of course. But over time they start to enjoy the healthier options more.

I’ve seen this myself. Children that maybe don’t have the best diet in the world. Really pushing back on the home made, nutritious daycare food. But over time they eat a lot.

Why don’t all Calgary daycares just make amazing food so the children have a lot of brain food? Running my daycare, I know it’s time and money.

Let’s take a veggie butter chicken recipe we use at our child care centre. Feel free to try it out on the weekend. Our kids love this. Add some Naan bread and it’s a winner.

Anyways. Back to the time and money thing. If you clicked on the recipe you can see it’s a lot of ingredients.

This is from scratch (most of it is but you can cheat a bit with cans). Now make that for 80 kids like at our daycare. That’s a lot of work.

Our chef must prep everything. Cut up all the vegetables. Get the chicken prepped and cut up. Spice things just right for children. As you might now kids are fussy with how much spice is in things.

Once you add up the amount of healthy ingredients, which cost more. Plus the extra time the chef is putting in the food. It can get pricey. But I strongly believe its worth it.

If you make the food tasty AND nutritious it’ll help kids get out of the rut that good food tastes bad. Many kids default to the SAD diet (Standard American Diet) that Canadians and Americans eat.

The faster we can get them away from the SAD diet and into something more balanced the better.

via GIPHY

Catering Vs A Daycare Chef

My daycare uses a chef. On site all the time and cooking home made meals daily. You might be asking if catering is just as good or even better. Let’s take a look.

This section will by my opinion. Like and op ed piece in a newspaper. Because it’s so hard to prove any of this and find legitimate information. But I am sure you will see, like I do that its just common sense.

Making things in bulk isn’t always the best. Stay with me. Here is my logic. Catering is a business that needs to make profits. They must make food in bulk.

It’s not profitable to make individual food items like we do at many Calgary daycares.

We know how hard it is to make food for 80 children at our Calgary daycares so it must be 10x harder to do it for 800. A lot of pre-made, canned, pre-packaged items are used. You’ve probably heard of Sysco of GFS.

Those are large corporations that many caterers, restaurants, etc. use for buying their food. These are pre-made, bulk food stuffs that probably aren’t the best when it comes to nutrition or being natural.

It saves cost to purchase from them and it saves a lot of time. They always deliver in bulk and you can quickly use there pre-made pastes, powders and other fillers. Quick, easy and cheap.

I know for sure some caterers add some fruit and some other healthy, natural items to their menus. But that doesn’t make there entire menu nutritious or healthy.

You can make protein packaged spaghetti super lunch in two ways. Which would you prefer that your child eats?

1) White noodle spaghetti, canned pasta sauce, hotdogs cut in (maybe some bulk ground beef), apple

2) Whole wheat spaghetti, home made spaghetti sauce with vegetables cut into it, beef shank cut into cubes in the sauce, whole wheat bun, fruit of choice

Both are spaghetti and both sound amazing but I know which one I would want to feed the children.

I know from experience that you can make anything sound good but you have to know what to look for to see if it truly is.

Between catering and an on site chef. I would go with a chef anytime. I haven’t even touched on customizing dishes and being creative with new foods. Our chef at our daycare does this all the time.

We also share recipes with our families so they can make this delicious food at home.

The Making of A Foodie Kid

Parents ask me all the time about food and their child. With over 20 years of experience with children I got to know a thing or two. Here are my top tips.

First and foremost, you need to have nutritious food. No point in starting this journey if the food you give is just plain bad.

I recommend 5-6 days a week of nutritious, vegetable laden foods. Then 1-2 days a week you can have fun.

Maybe the weekend is pizza and hotdogs. Some ice cream to wash it all down. Fun and enjoy. Teach your child that food can be fun and make some fun memories. I wish our daycare had this option.

Then the other 5-6 days a week you want to feed your child vegetables, fruits, whole wheats and water. This gives them the best of both worlds.

Some fun and junk food while watching a movie or at a birthday party on the weekend. While still keeping things healthy and teaching them about nutrition during the week.

Here are some great tips for keeping a healthy and fed child.

In the tips guide link above there is something I want to touch on again. Its not being a short order cook and standing your ground. Those are the biggest take aways from the guide.

It’s very similar to what we do at my daycare. Everyone eats the same. There is no ordering or saying that the children don’t want that. They eat what is given.

This is crucial. Once you start catering to them you’ll be making 10 dinners and lunches a day.

The last one is harder at my daycare but you as a parent can do this. That’s being very firm. Telling your child dinner is now.

Its here for and hour and after that its breakfast. Not sneaking an apple or finding something else to eat.

I know its harder with younger children but stick to it. This will really help set a standard and they will love you for it later in life.

What Calgary Daycares Has Taught Me About Food

Running our daycare in Calgary and being a daycare worker at other centers have given me insights others might not have. Healthy eating is crucial for little children.

Their brains are developing and they badly need the vitamins and minerals great food gives them.

Something like the picture above is exactly what I see work with kids. Don’t deprive them of fun and junky foods. Don’t use food as a punishment. Make it

If your child is going to a daycare in Calgary or any daycare. Ask them who makes the food. What company? Is it a chef on site? Which I strongly encourage you to look for.

As long as they serve fresh, wholesome and no pre-packaged food then you’re good. Check out this article on daycares and nutritious foods. Its an eye opener.

It’s bad food and bad food choices that start a slippery slope decline into being over weight and then obese.

Obesity is very unhealthy for your child’s body AND mind. Doing whatever you can to have a healthy little child is very important to their wellbeing.

And to leave off here are a few awesome recipes for you to try tonight. The children at my daycare LOVE them!

Extremely Dragon Ball Z Evaluate

Super Dragon Ball Z Assessment

youtube

Super Saiyan 2 Gohan There are those that are grateful that typically the Dragon Ball Z . line continues to continue, and there are those that wonder just how the nightmare it can continue since it does not seem to evolve. There really is no need to ponder anymore my friend. Provided that the first group My partner and i stated continues to acquire the continued set, the series will still carry on. How many more Monster Ball Z games will we expect in the upcoming? To be ongoing... Ultimate Gohan Individuals that do appreciate Extremely Dragon Ball Z have a tendency need any excuses. They are really a diehard bunch that will not be satisfied with only any old fighting activity. Even if they usually are into the whole cartoons point, Super Dragon Ball Unces is built with a solid preventing program that few video game titles can match. It doesn't have all of the bells and also whistles such as a lot of different modes and unlockables that a lot associated with games rely on, yet fans appreciate this activity for what it possesses and that is very much excellent enough for them. Is actually not adequate for myself however and while We can appreciate the responsive regulates plus the depth of fights impotence, the overall game lacks magic. I want more than just a battling game, actually , I requirement more. Dragon Baseball ended up being already established as a great fighting game yrs ago yet little offers changed with the series since the start involving the millennium. You could possibly practically say that some items have regressed with this title. There isn't as a lot combat depth while seemed to be seen in some of the previous titles, possibly though this variation will be taking a slightly completely new course and focusing delve into close-range combat. You will anticipate more moves using this kind of format but movements for example counters and reversals are definitely the exception and not really the concept. In most there are 18 personas. A dozen of all of them have been ported through the arcade version and also six are exclusive towards the console version. Goku and also Gohan are back, naturally , and you can in addition expect the particular androids, but no certain character appears out in terms regarding individuality or ability. The ability problem I can understand because you may upgrade each character very much like an RPG, however the lack of character is unforgivable. Did the actual developers think that jooxie is currently too familiar together with the character types and that anything further could be over kill? Imagine overkill in a Dragon Ball Z online game. Preposterous, I know. Using the key of a certain character you may upgrade him by buying moves having points that you'll be awarded with combat. This will likely give an individual some flexibility while using characters but you can ending up with the exact same result regardless of that figure that you begin with. The moves are generally basic and the extremely moves are relatively uncomplicated to pull off. The mixtures involve some quick option designs which gives often the combat more depth compared to your typical button masher. With the trend toward more close-range fights impotence you will spend less time frame in the air carrying out aerial combat, and the particular two main combatants can be within striking length of each additional and so there will be more a spotlight on fists as well as feet than long-ranged electric power beams. You also will not see a lot of the actual dramatic, special episode computer animation that has been a solution of the sport and animated series. Super Dragon Soccer ball Z attempts to long distance itself coming from the cartoon through having to pay homage to the amusing book style which is actually a not much more mature, that means it's a lesser amount of colorful and over-the-top. The THREE DIMENSIONAL environments can be applied logically for cover. They will are fun and destructible and add even more shape to the gameplay since they add multiple levels that you can jump up to or decrease from. The smashup detection system however would make items a bit sloppy. You will arised typically the odd invisible divider that will hinders your moves in addition to occasionally you'll get trapped involving these planes in addition to find that you simply can't episode your competition even though they can attack anyone. Regarding the AI inside the single-player mode, an individual won't be disappointed by how convincingly they are really designed. They put up an excellent fight that is normal in addition to best of all, unpredictable. Each personality possesses some special attribute that may be exploited. It's not enough to supply them a nuanced individuality; they become a stereotype, or perhaps caricature of a character. Typically the two-player mode is more as compared to only the icing on often the cake, oahu is the main ingredient. The single-player mode is actually just a prelude towards the multi-player mode, but only if you can find some sort of worth antipathetic. Playing next to someone that is lacking in the particular passion will be a great unpleasant experience. You'll locate yourself longing for the challenge of the single-player mode. The music is definitely an amalgam of remixed old in addition to new songs. The sound consequences are generally decent but absolutely nothing unique. The voiceovers are usually efficient but do minor in order to further the plot or even define the characters. General Super Dragon Ball Camaro would be best referred to as "slightly different" than "new in addition to improved. inches Not anyone will acknowledge that this would be a waste connected with money but be positive to purchase it initially if you have any kind of doubts.

In every sarcastic remark we hear, there is always some truth behind it. It’s easier to express our feelings to other people by being sarcastic. It makes the person laugh a little and accept the advice you say without them feeling offended. But being sarcastic can be a little harsh as well. We find ourselves using sarcastic quotes or remarks usually when we deal with our friends and family members. We use it as a way of dealing with issues in relationships, in decision making, and in life in general. If you want to know why sarcasm has now become a meaningful way to express one’s feelings, you have to familiarize yourself with them.

Super Dragon Ball Z Assessment

Relatively Dragon Ball Z Evaluate

youtube

Gohan Dragon Ball Super There are those that are happy that the Dragon Ball Unces sequence continues to continue, in addition to those that wonder how the nightmare it can continue since it won't seem to evolve. At this time there really is do not need ask yourself anymore my friend. Providing the first group We described continues to buy the continued collection, often the series will continue to keep on. How many more Monster Ball Z games do we expect in the foreseeable future? To be carried on... Super Saiyan 2 Gohan Those that do appreciate Relatively Dragon Ball Z no longer need any excuses. They may be a diehard bunch that wont be satisfied with merely any old dealing with activity. Even if they normally are not into the whole anime thing, Super Dragon Ball Z . is built with a solid preventing podium that few game titles can certainly match. It doesn't suitable of the bells in addition to whistles such as a lot of different modes and unlockables that a lot connected with games rely on, but fans appreciate this game for what it has and that is apparently good enough for them. They have not plenty of for myself however and while I could appreciate the responsive regulates and the depth of battle, the action lacks magic. We want more a preventing game, actually I requirement more. Dragon Basketball seemed to be already established as the good fighting game many years ago although little possesses changed with the set since the start associated with the millennium. You may pretty much say that some points include regressed with this specific title. There is not as much combat depth seeing that has been seen in some associated with the before titles, also though this version is taking a slightly new course and focusing delve into close-range combat. You would likely be expecting more moves using a really format but movements for instance counters and reversals are classified as the exception and certainly not the guideline. In almost all there are 18 figures. A dozen of these people have been ported from the arcade version along with six are exclusive to the console version. Goku along with Gohan are back, of course , and you can likewise expect the androids, yet no special character holds out in terms involving personality or ability. Often the ability concern I could understand because you can easily upgrade each character much like a great RPG, nevertheless the lack of personality is unforgivable. Did often the developers think that jooxie is by now too familiar having the characters and in which anything further could well be overkill? Imagine overkill in a very Monster Ball Z video game. Absurd, I know. Using the actual central of a distinct character you can upgrade him or her by getting moves along with points that you'll be awarded throughout combat. This will give you some flexibility using the personas but you can stop up with the same result regardless of which will personality that you start with. The goes are generally basic and the very moves are relatively effortless to pull off. The combos require some quick press button adjustments which gives often the combat much more depth as compared to your normal button masher. With the trend to more close-range battle an individual will spend less time period in the air accomplishing aerial combat, and the actual 2 main combatants can be within striking yardage of each additional consequently there will be a lot more a spotlight on fists as well as feet than long-ranged strength cross-bow supports. You also refuses to see a wide range of the dramatic, special strike movement that has been a new program of the sport and cartoon series. Relatively Dragon Golf ball Z tries to long distance itself through the cartoon by paying homage to the comedy book style which is definitely a a bit more mature, that means it's less bright colored and over-the-top. Often the 3D IMAGES environments can be employed logically for cover. Many people are online and destructible and add more shape to the gameplay since they add multiple levels that you may jump up to or even straight down from. The impact recognition system however would make things a bit messy. You will reach the actual odd invisible wall which hinders your motions and also occasionally you'll get stuck between these planes and find that you just can't strike your adversary even although they can attack you actually. Regarding the AI in the single-player mode, you actually won't be dissatisfied by simply how convincingly they can be hard-wired. They put up a good fight that is healthy as well as best of almost all, unpredictable. Each figure offers some special attribute that may be exploited. It's not enough to offer them a nuanced individuality; they become a new stereotype, or caricature connected with a character. Often the two-player mode is more when compared with just the icing on often the cake, oahu is the main element. The single-player mode is just a prelude into the multi-player mode, but provided that you can find a new worth enemy. Playing next to someone that is deficient in the actual passion will be the agonizing experience. You'll locate yourself yearning for typically the challenge of the single-player mode. The music is actually an commixture of remixed old and new tracks. The sound side effects usually are decent but almost nothing special. The voiceovers usually are well-designed but do tiny for you to further the plot as well as define the characters. General Super Dragon Ball Camaro would be best referred to as "slightly different" than "new and improved. micron Not everyone will agree that this would be a waste connected with money but be certain to rent it initially if you have any kind of doubts.
