Diary of a Junebug

Sandwiches and charming little huts

Walking the trails of Charm Villa is like stepping into a bright, colorful, and cute notepad. Rolling hills with vibrant green grass and colorful flowers scattered all over. On the tops of the hills are rustic and whimsical little cottages and huts, as well as shops, cafes, and a library. Take a picture and you’d think it was from a stationery set!

After sleeping in until around eleven we met up with Gutsy and Livvy at Coffee Studios for a tour of Charm Villa. Gutsy’s a college friend of Daisy Jane who just moved to the village a few months ago. Livvy’s her niece - first cousin once removed - and she and Jack - her dad/Gutsy’s cousin - own Coffee Studios. The cafe was founded by Gutsy and Jack’s grandma, then it was passed down to Jack’s mom, and after she retired her son and granddaughter now run the place.

The cafe’s best known for their sandwiches and every few months they set up a contest for a new sandwich to add to the menu. Livvy was the one who started that tradition and it got popular so it stuck. Guess what today happened to be? While Lolly, Pancetti, Biskit, and Lyman prepped for the contest, the rest of us hung around the village before meeting back around 3 for the contest.

I’ve only met Gutsy a handful of times over the years and she always leaves an impression. The name Gutsy - short for Augusta - fits her to a T. She said that she never thought her impulsiveness and wild imagination would make her a good detective and yet there she was solving crimes and saving the day. Gutsy really does remind me a lot about Jamie, except a lot more extroverted and bold. Honestly, I’m surprised that they haven’t crossed paths yet.

So far Gutsy’s enjoying the peaceful village life. It’s a huge change of pace compared to her old life. Gutsy grew up in a boarding house that also ran a stable so her life revolved around horses since forever. Her father died when she was seventeen, opening up a can of worms that led to her getting tangled up with an embezzling scheme that he was involved in and indirectly caused his death. After exposing the crime, Gutsy joined a task force dedicated to investigating crimes relating to shady underground practices involving horses like racing and such.

Daisy Jane and Gutsy met in college when they became roommates. At the time Gutsy was considering studying to be a veterinarian but ended up dropping out a year later because the task force was starting to take over her life. In retrospect, the whole being a vet thing wasn’t meant to be for her.

Being a detective was an unexpected turn for Gutsy, one that no one saw coming - and yet, at the time, it made sense. For a while, she felt that she found her calling, especially after being betrayed by what her dad and his friends had done. Maybe, in a way, she was trying to absolve him of his misdeeds. Solving mysteries and working with horses, what else can she ask for?

But then around last year things went sour. Investigating crimes has its dangers, which Gutsy knows all too well. She can handle being a target, but when loved ones are in the line of fire, that’s where she draws the line. The birth of her daughter Lulu led to Gutsy reevaluating her life choices. Eventually she decided that it was time to move on and give Lulu a stable childhood.

That’s why she decided to settle in Charm Villa. Other than her cousins and a small handful of relatives, Gutsy doesn’t have much family. With Lulu to take care of, a journey of self discovery was out of the question so she opted to stick close to family for practical reasons. With Livvy in college and only coming home every other weekend and Jack having experience as a young single parent as well as needing help with the cafe, Gutsy knew she and Lulu would be in good hands.

While she finds herself much happier and less stressed in Charm Villa, Gutsy does miss being around horses. As far as she knows, the nearest stable is about two hours away so she hasn’t had a chance to visit yet. Maybe when Lulu’s a little older, she says. For now, Gutsy and horses are taking a long break.

The way she describes it is like a close relationship that has gone a bit too codependent. All her life she grew up surrounded by horses so she related to them more than people. Her views on the family she grew up with, especially her dad, have been clouded in recent years. When she put together the pieces, she didn’t want to believe it, but at the same time, it all made sense. While being a detective gave her a sense of purpose, it also showed Gutsy how deceiving people can be. She always - and still - find horses more trusting than people, so in a way she relied on them as a crutch. Do it for the horses - that was her mantra whenever she tackled a case that would push her limits. Then that led to her letting the task force take over her life to the point that she had nothing outside of that.

Eventually it got to the point where all she cared about was getting the truth out. Right and wrong, black and white, collateral damage was unfortunate but it didn’t matter as long as what’s done is done. As a result, Gutsy ended up burning a lot of bridges, which in turn made her question if she did more harm than good.

Lulu was her wake up call, the one who turned Gutsy’s life upside down and forced her to reevaluate her future. Being a parent wasn’t in the cards for her but in the end she made her choice. While the idea of raising a kid is still terrifying for her, so far it seems to be the best thing to happen to her. After spending most of her life jumping headfirst into danger and chasing thrills, Gusty realized the weight of her actions and how one can’t always jump to conclusions or make poor judgements just to get ahead of everyone else.

Maybe it’s another attempt to right her dad’s wrongs - that’s still something she struggles with - but Charm Villa, the cafe, Lulu, her cousins, it’s been doing her a lot of good. There’s still a lot that Gutsy’s uncertain about, but getting herself out of a bad place is a good first step. After everything she’s been through, I hope she finds that peace of mind she deserves. From the looks of it, I think she’s finding her way.

Around 1:30 we headed back to the cafe to help set up for the sandwich contest. When we were done, we had time to kill so Jack and Livvy gave us a tour of the kitchen. Then we made lattes and bread, which was a lot of fun. By the time we were able to master latte art, it was time for the contest to begin!

Candy Fruit Sando by Lolly A super sweet take on the cute Japanese fruit sandwiches! To kick things up a notch, the fruits are coated with a sugary syrup for an extra crunch! Fresh ripe fruit candied to perfection, freshly whipped cream that feels like eating a cloud and a soft and pillowy brioche to tie it all together - it’s the perfect addition to any bento box! Rod - Candied fruit?! Genius! 9/10 Snooty - I just wanna take pictures of it and make my friends jealous over how pretty it looks! 10/10 Sylvana - Strawberries and cream are a winning combo! 8/10 Audie - Aesthetic and yummy - that’s a win for me! 9/10

Spa Day Sandwich by Pancetti In need of shaking up your skin care routine? No need to swap out your face mask or moisturizer when you can have a sandwich instead! All the freshest veggies guaranteed to give you a healthy glow like cucumbers and seaweed seasoned with a zesty citrus glaze on a slice of lightly toasted pumpernickel. Snooty - My skin’s already feeling great! 7/10 Sylvana - This kinda reminds me of a salad, but in sandwich form! 6/10 Audie - This was definitely inspired by a spa! 6/10 Rod - Skip the moisturizer, go for the sandwich! 7/10

The Ultimate Dessert Sandwich! by Biskit What happens when you mash a pie, cake, and pudding into one? Well, we’re about to find out with this sandwich! The bread’s kinda like a pie crust/brioche hybrid and the sauce is a rich caramel custard. In between are thin slices of red velvet cake, blueberry-ginger pie filling, and slices of yellow cake. Sylvana - If this doesn’t satisfy your sweet tooth, I don’t know what will! 8/10 Audie - Talk about indulgent! 6/10 Rod - Perfect for a cheat day after an intense workout - but only in moderation! 7/10 Snooty - Are you sure this is a sandwich? 5/10

Take a Bite of Nature! by Lyman Need a palate cleanser after having too many sweets or processed foods? Nothing like fresh organic veggies to put your body back in balance! Green, leafy veggies, rustic roots, and crisp, sweet fruit on sprouted bread - all the flavors of nature in one tasty package! Audie - Crunch, crunch, crunch! 7/10 Rod - I wonder if this will make a good post-workout shake… 7/10 Snooty - Turn the bread into croutons and add some dressing and it’s a rustic salad! 8/10 Sylvana - This is probably better than some of the stuff they sell at health food stores 7/10

Headcanons and thoughts about Warren and Hypno/Hippoworm (is that the ship name? *shrugs*)

I had a LOT of shipping thoughts about these two while at work today, so I hope you guys like hearing about them:

Because of getting his mezmeroo attack redirected back at him, Hypno doesn’t remember his and Warren’s first meeting. Though if someone told him about it - and about Warren ruining his plan - he honestly wouldn’t hold THAT big of a grudge over it, just because he can’t remember enough to be upset and it’s so far in the past now it doesn’t even seem to matter

Given that they didn’t interact much in ‘Stuck on You’, Hypno doesn’t remember that meeting either. Literally his first impression of this strange worm man is him literally dragging a chair into the ELoM meeting and then straight up zapping a hotel worker. So… pretty good first impression

Warren on the other hand, who does remember their first meeting, was not at all impressed with Hypno at first and just considered him to be a sub-standard villain at best. (he’s kinda jelly of just how big and tall he got to be thanks to his mutation though)

A few days after ‘Evil League of Mutants’/getting blasted off again by a turtle with a ladder, Hypno runs into a rather down and depressed looking Warren who’s just wandering around alone. Not knowing him very well though liking him well enough, Hypno stops him and invites him back to his place for tea

(the semi-flashback during Warren’s big speech in WaHSiaT, the bit where Hypno pulls the paper off a sad Warren with a five o’clock shadow is a dramatization of this. Gotta make it sadder to pull on the heartstrings, lol. Also where was his gauntlet in that scene?)

The two start hanging out regularly after that, mostly just talking or watching tv together - which is where they get their love of making fun of people on tv together

Warren also really appreciates Hypno’s genuine kindness and gentleness - and the fact that he doesn’t forget who he is, heh

He tries to be nice to Hypno in return because of this, even if he sometimes still talks a bit too much about himself at times. Hypno doesn’t mind too much

The point where they first open up to each other - Hypno revealing how he lost his hippo Doug and Warren being genuine about just how much being forgotten and losing his career hurt - is the big turning point in their relationship.

Are we ever gonna learn what happened to Doug, btw? Like, seriously what’s the story there? and while we’re at it why does Warren hate the turtles so much?

Hypno: “We may have lost a lot through all this… But, hey, we found each other, right? So, maybe it’s not all bad.” Warren decides that he agrees.

He moves into Hypno’s place shortly after

Originally Warren agreed to be Hypno’s magical assistant just to try and get his face back out there and earn some fans, but eventually found that he also liked helping Hypno and making him happy

Warren just naturally sits on Hypno’s shoulder or head when they watch tv, Hypno not minding at all (besides, makes it easier to cuddle)

their fave gameshows to watch (and make fun of) are Wheel of Fortune, The Price is Right and America’s Got Talent (Hypno likes making fun of the bad magic acts, and when the acts are amazing Warren will tell him they’re not NEARLY as amazing as him)

When Warren has a bad day, Hypno will wash/condition his hair and give him a scalp massage, letting his roomie vent all he wants while Hypno scrubs his troubles away

When Hypno has a bad day, Warren will get him fresh fruit, something Hypno’s loved ever since his mutation

On one occasion: “Kiwis for my favorite kiwi!” “…*sigh* You just couldn’t resist, eh?” “Nope!”

Warren also gets Hypno flowers sometimes, since Hypno really seems to like them

Hypno may or may not be keeping the first bouquet Warren ever bought him - yellow tipped with red roses - alive with magic

Trying to be as proper and dignified as possible, Hypno almost never curses - which means Warren totally teases him whenever he lets a ‘bugger’ or a ‘god dammit’ slip

Warren on the other hand couldn’t care less about swears. He doesn’t swear every other sentence or anything - I’d imagine it would be hard to get a job in television if that were the case - but if he’s really worked up or angry he won’t try to censor himself

For the first few weeks of their relationship, Google was Warren’s best friend. Now, Warren knows (almost) every New Zealand phrase there is

Going off his ‘my golden voiced amigo’ line, Hypno loves listening to Warren sing to himself whenever he’s in the shower (technically the bathroom sink since he’d just end up getting washed down the shower drain but w/e)

This also means that karaoke nights between the two of them are frequent

Their first Big Fight was over Hypno’s doves continuing to try and eat Warren and Warren nearly zapping their feathers off.

It wasn’t bad enough to break them up, but Warren was all pissy and purposely annoying the rest of that day while Hypno just gave him the cold shoulder

After a day of this they got lonely and missed each other, so they apologized to each other and Hypno spent the rest of that week diligently training his doves

Hypno’s rabbits, on the other hand, Warren doesn’t mind at all, and if one is out and hopping about and Hypno isn’t there, Warren will usually pet it/curl up on it

Warren’s a naturally fairly neat and tidy person, so he doesn’t mind too much when Hypno skips out on his side of the chores, even if he’s still slightly annoyed

to make up for this, Hypno does most of the cooking around the place and always has a cup of coffee or tea waiting for his roomie/best friend/boyfriend

When they first realized Warren and the Gauntlet were being hunted down by Draxum, Warren tried to leave, genuinely worried about Hypno’s safety even if he tried to play it off at first

Hypno refuses. “I can’t lose you too!”

This is the first time they tell each other they love each other (with how naturally Warren said it in WaHSiaT, that couldn’t have been the first time)

Warren fell into a depressive state after losing ‘Charlotte’. Hypno comforted him the best he could, but after a couple days passing with nothing changing, Hypno thought that maybe Warren was mad at him for the role he played in losing the gauntlet. So, Hypno spent the whole day and a good part of the night out of the apartment, figuring he should just give Warren some space

This led to him coming back and finding Warren in the middle of a complete and total emotional breakdown

He’s sad and angry about losing his cool power glove, but even moreso, he’s afraid that without it not only is he weak, but he’s truly forgettable and useless - even to the people he loves most and who love him. His Channel 6 co-workers forgot about him, why wouldn’t Hypno eventually?

This led to LOTS of apologizing/comforting/reassuring/hugs and kisses on Hypno’s part, with Warren eventually crying himself out on Hypno’s shoulder and the two of the sleeping on the couch together

After going back to Clem’s and not finding another magic artifact that feels as ‘right’ as the gauntlet did and discovering that a simple handgun would send him through a freaking wall on recoil, Warren decided to just have a taser on him as his new weapon. At least a taser is similar enough to a lightning-shooting gauntlet. He names it Charlotte the 2nd.

Hypno also uses his magic to shrink down a couple of his razor rings to give to Warren. Even if Warren can’t control their aim with magic, they still cause a decent amount of damage to an enemy with a hard enough throw.

Despite practically being together since Warren moved in, when the two of them officially decide to go from best friends to boyfriends they end up inviting all their old ELoM mates over to celebrate and announce the good news (minus Draxum, naturally). Todd and the Sando Brothers are happy for them, Repo could care less, and Meatsweats says congrats but is mostly just trying to figure out how to get Warren alone so he can maybe get a taste of his regeneration powers

He gets smacked on the snout with Hypno’s wand and nearly takes a razor ring to his face for his troubles.

Hypno still tries to help Warren with his plans whenever he’s a particular ‘revenge against those dang turtles’ mood and Warren will assist when Hypno has a scheme of his own, but mostly the two of them keep each other satisfied enough that they spend most of their time hanging out, watching tv and practicing magic (and cuddling/kissing) together

PHEW! Like I said, I had a lot. BUT I hope you guys liked it! ^v^ btw, I may turn that whole emotional breakdown bit into a Hippoworm oneshot, but if any hardcore Warren and Hypno shippers wanna steal that idea, go for it! *thumbs up* ^v^

~~ ~~ ~~ ~~

Misry rimmed eyes saw where the others helped her back to her feet. Drawing a breath that shuddered, not only with effort, he resolved, “This is the worst thing that I have ever done. If I get the chance, I will support Nore or carry her. I will not let her die while I live.”

With steps dragging from the fear that he would not be allowed to do what he could to remedy his awful errors of judgment, Sando set out after the band.

The heat was devastating. The hot sand and stones shimmered in dancing waves, making footing even more treacherous. Sando staggered.

“It is easy to understand Nore’s fall back there! I almost went down myself!”

Slipping on yet another sandy hillside, Sando noticed, “The sand and rock beneath the surface are cooler!”

Excited by the discovery, he scraped and dug a bit. It only needed a little depth. “It feels cool, actually!”

He rested in the cool spot he’d made for only a bit. He eagerly began to trace the band.

“I actually have something to help them! Not enough. Something is better than none …”

Rounding a gravel and sand hill, he nearly fell into one of the many arroyos that cut across the desert, making travel even more difficult and dangerous. The tracks that he was following cut sharply south and disappeared.

Heart in his mouth with fear that he was too late, Sando approached. There was a steep but manageable slope to the bottom. Seeing by the tracks that the ones he was following were safe, Sando scouted the rim of the arroyo and found a place where its far wall could be safely climbed before he went to follow them again.

The footing of the slope was treacherous. He felt his hind hooves go in a welter of sliding stones and broiling hot sand. Nearly taking a tumble, he sat his rear in the shifting soils and spread his forelegs for balance. He rode the small landslide safely to the bottom of the small canyon like cut.

He sat, panting away both his fear and resting a bit. Regaining his feet, he followed the tracks around a bend. The band was there, resting out the heat of the day in the shade of the arroyo’s rim. Most were laying down. Malit and Maina, standing, saw him and turned their backs to him, ready to kick if he should get too close.

He stopped and lowering his head in shame, said, “I do not blame you. If you will let me join you, I can show you how to be cooler. I can help Nore. I injured her. It is just that I help her.”

Nore bitterly demanded, “What do you have to offer us now, Bucket Breaker? Did you bring a well with you?”

Rom laid a gentle hoof on her shoulder and suggested, “He has offered us something of worth, if not water. He sounds a different horse than the one that we left behind.

“How can you do these things, Sando? Why should we trust you?”

Sando, keeping his head low, replied, “Try what I say and see if it does not help. As for trusting me? I would not either, in your place. I was an arrogant fool. The attempt of the Guard to murder me, like they did the family at the farm finally brought home to me how foolish I was.

“You are right, Sarel. Leadership needs wisdom that I lack. I will do as Rom says without question if you will have me back. It may be that my strength can get a few of you to the other side of the desert alive. At least, I can show you how to make a harness that will support Nore while her leg heals.”

Rom thought over what he had heard. He nodded slowly, face grim. “We will try what you suggest for being cooler. If that works, we will let you rejoin us. Understand that we do not trust you at all. We have no food or water and are like to die from that want. I hope that your ideas will work.

“How would you make us cooler?”

Sando replied, “Use the digging stick or your hooves. Mark out the resting place for one of you and dig it out five or ten centimeters. The soil UNDER the surface is far cooler.”

Nore took the digging stick and scraped industriously, quickly producing a mare sized crater. As she smoothed the bottom, she looked up in surprise.

“He was right! Lay down, Sarel. Try it!”

Soon the rest of the band were all resting in their own craters. Rom made Nore take the last one that she dug. Looking at Sando, he asked, “How will we manage, Sando?”

“It is not as easy, Rom, but we can scrape ours out by hoof. Let me help you.”

“No, Sando, this one is yours. It is the duty of the leader to see to those he leads. I will dig mine last.”

Downcast, Sando looked about at the small canyon’s walls of layered clays, gravel and stone. “I promised to follow your orders, Rom. You are right. However, a leader should not be unwilling to accept the help of those he leads. Let us both dig your hole. I will lay down with an easier heart if I have helped you even if it is only in a small way.”

They dug together quietly until Rom’s place was ready. Sando laid down first and then Rom.

Nore looked across the rim of her earthen crater to where Sando was settling down at last.

With half closed eyes, she offered, “Thank you, Sando. The cool ground does help.”

Her eyes closed. Her soft snores joined the others of the resting band.

~~ ~~ ~~ ~~

I was leaning into the pull, wagon heavy behind me. The only thing really helping, was the high quality of the Royal Road. The hard packed gravel made a continuous almost musical crunch under the iron tires of the wheels. I was nearing the Red Branch cutoff. That would lead me into the Maze.

It was getting late. The whole Maze canyon complex was no place to be after dark. I pulled into an abandoned share-cropper place to spend the night under cover. The old barn was barely big enough for my trade wagon, cover and all.

Why put the wagon indoors if it has a cover? Ground Nest and his other local pegasus buddies. Gang, really.

The roof of the barn was split shakes. The house had been thatch. In the course their ‘pranks’ Ground Nest and his little gang of pegassi drove old Mayhaw out.

Ripping up his roof and dropping rain on him was only the beginning. He was finished when they sneaked in at harvest and stole over a quarter of his crops and set rain on the rest.

Ground Nest and his buddies laughed about it openly down in Haulmarket but nopony did anything to stop them. Mayhaw was just an old donkey and who cares about donkeys, or goats for that matter? Me for one.

When asked, I always haul out a small mirror, look in it and retort, “Goodness! I certainly do seem to be a donkey! From the look of it, I appear to be old Marchhare! Guess that settles it, doesn’t it?”

Almost all of the pony run farms in the whole Red Branch District, or any other really rural District either, pretty much depend on the donkey traders and their wagons of seed grain, hardware, woven goods and small tools. Without our farm to farm services, they tend to go under. Paying ponies to do those errands is expensive.

Edict of Equality or not, the ponies mostly look down on us. Pranks that would cause outrage if they happened to a pony? Who cares, really? He/she’s just a donkey.

That is why I put the wagon out of sight. Like most of the traders, now, I do not trade in the Red Branch District. I am just passing through, as quickly and with as little notice as possible. Some of the farmers are waking up to just how bad the situation is. Not enough of them. Not soon enough.

Things stowed safely from aerial view, I took the time to inventory the load again. That was a satisfying if potentially misleading way to spend time. Counting coins that are not yet in your purse and all that.

It was all food and top quality grains for planting or eating. “Two chests of dried fruits, spendy, those. Two Gold, five for them alone. A chest of soft-bagged nuts. Five chests of the best grain in three varieties. The rest of the load was ten bales of the best clover hay with the flower tops.” Those were all wrapped tight against moisture.

Past experience with Ground Nest and his buddies explained the precautions. Slashing expensive wagon tops and drenching the donkey’s load is one of their favorite games.

Inventory done, I settled down by my wagon and made a funny looking reach. Funny looking because my hoof, up past the hock disappeared from view. When I completed the reach, I had a smallish orb of pale transparent green, a couple of inches across. It was mounted to an ornate black three legged stand with a motto scrolled around it.

Few nowadays could read that motto. The written language has changed a lot from those ancient days when I first invented the art of writing. Reflected in the surface of the orb that could not show any untrue thing was an elderly blue unicorn with a mane and beard gone white. Staring back at me was my real self.

The reflection of De Writer, the long banished foster father of the twin Princesses of the Realm stared back at the magically disguised Marchhare.

I whispered, “The Future is Forbidden.” Scenes came and went, observed in the Orb of the Ages. It can see any Past event with perfect accuracy. That past can be anything from fractions of a second ago, almost to the creation of the World of Equestria. I was scanning for threats to the safety of the Realm and my still precious foster daughters, Princess Luna and Princess Celestia. I found nothing new to worry about.

I cast my view ahead, along my route, up the Red Branch, past the huge new irrigation project dam that was nearly done, and on, up into the Maze. I checked the only safe route over the Sunset Divide and down to the Desert of Celestia’s Anvil, arguably the hottest, driest desert in the world.

I was following my past explored route to Gyptia and the lands of the Godolphin. As always, I was looking widely ahead trying to find a safer, easier or faster way to cross that wasteland.

What I did find broke my heart. There were seven Gyptian horses attempting to cross the Anvil. They were cast out slaves by the look of the headstalls that they all wore. Their ribs stood out like barrel staves. There were too many such dying in Gyptia and nothing that I could do about any of them.

These? I tracked them back to Tadast’s Wells. There was no way that even my supplies could get them back to the town. They were already too far into the desert. Besides, there was the matter of some of the Godolphin’s Guard. If they did get back, it was death by starvation and thirst or death by spear. If they continued to try crossing the desert, they were going to die too.

I looked up from the Orb of the Ages. My cart of supplies might have a better use than feeding a wealthy Court that would survive without it. I might be able to bring these slaves into Equestria. I lay there and figured it as well as I could. It would be a close thing. At least a few of them should make it.

DATING SIM TROPES

REPOST AND FILL IN WITH DETAILS ABOUT YOUR MUSE AS IF THEY WERE A CHARACTER IN A DATING SIM.

NAME: minagawa kazuki , he’ll introduce himself as nanaki tho. THEIR PROFESSION: host. WHERE THEY CAN BE FOUND: kabukicho. If he’s not at work, you’ll usually find him ghosting around shibuya, at themed izakayas , takeshita street , edgy vkei concerts... FAVOURITE FOOD TYPE: he’s so picky don’t even go there. he eats mcdonald’s and fruit sando and if you try to give him anything else, then you’re responsible for picking the mushrooms / pickles / bonito / red bean paste / anything else he doesn’t like out of it. FAVOURITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK: he’ll drink pretty much anything with the exception of beer and whisky. FAVOURITE TRAIT ( romance, passion, sexuality, talent, flirtation, sentiment, joy ): he likes people who are assertive, confident. it’s not a conscious thing, but he’ll usually gravitate towards people who have those traits in extremes and err on the side of narcissistic and have a bit of a manipulative streak in them. WHERE THEY WOULD GO ON A DATE: the chiku chiku cafe! IDEAL GIFT: sweets are usually a safe bet. plushies. anything raccoon-themed. he likes flowers but they have to be cut, if you give him anything potted he is 100% going to kill it. WHEN WILL THEY DRINK ALCOHOL: whenever, he’s always ready to get shitfaced. HOW MANY DATES UNTIL THEY GO TO BED: one, if even that. he’s a difficult route tho because you can bang him early on, but there’s a strong chance he’ll realize a few chapters in that he’s just mirroring your feelings instead of having his own and exit stage left.

Color Thy Lunchbox for a Nutrient Boost

After summer’s fresh and delicious adventures and flavors, it’s understandable the standard old sandwich in a paper bag that signifies the return of fall’s routines might seem boring — the bright colors and vibrant flavors of the season’s past get lost between two pieces of bread. But lunch on the go doesn’t need to be kept in a box (much less in a sandwich).

The Japanese have a strong culinary tradition of including at least five colors in each meal. This not only makes their food more visually appealing, but it also boosts the nutritional value of the meal. A bento box lunch, for example, would include white rice with black sesame seeds, a red umeboshi plum and a slice of yellow omelet (and probably some green beans and carrots cut into beautiful flower shapes as well). You can follow this practice to keep your own lunches healthy, fresh and beautiful — the envy of coworkers and classmates alike! Including lots of seasonal fruits and vegetables is one sure-fire way to add more color to your midday meals, but here are some tips to keep your color palette delicious:

FILL YOUR CART WITH COLOR

Eating colorful lunches starts at the grocery store. As you work your way around the aisles, talk yourself through the rainbow. Do you have something of each color? Maybe even a couple of things? Red peppers and tomatoes are great sliced up and eaten raw, orange slices and carrots, too. Natural yellow corn chips (or even blue!) are a nice accompaniment to bright green guacamole with black beans and purple grapes (or grape jam) eaten with whole-grain crackers and cheese is a sophisticated alternative to a sandwich. Voila! The rainbow!

CHANGE UP YOUR GRAINS

A surefire way to find a boring sandwich in your lunchbox is to buy the same old bread. Instead, challenge yourself to buy different grains with different colors and shapes. There are a wide variety of colorful grains out there that are healthy alternatives to bread; try white sushi rice, red rice or even forbidden black rice. Quinoa is full of color and packed with protein, too! Make a pot of grains Sunday night and store them in the fridge to add to leftovers for a non-sandwich option.

PICK A PALETTE IN YOUR PANTRY

Eating for color is a great reason to make extra leftovers, or to try new flavor combinations you might not think of off the bat. Pick through your fridge and pantry, again hunting for all the colors of the rainbow. Pick out five, or more and watch the creative concoctions come to life. Tossing together leftover steak or chicken with rice, fresh yellow peaches, green avocados and black beans is a whole new twist on your favorite Mexican-inspired meal!

SHAPESHIFT

If you want to think beyond the sandwich, you’ll have to rethink the “box.” These different shapes and formats of food are anything but square. Don’t forget you’ll need a box or bowl to pack them in!

Make a mean spring roll: Fill rice paper with fresh vegetables or slices of leftover meat.

Simplify with salads: The easiest way to make sure you’re eating more color is to start with greens. Add your favorite meats, cheeses, proteins, crunchy nuts and a simple lemon and olive oil dressing.

Bowl over: Make your lunchbox a lunch bowl by packing a colorful grain salad topped with your favorite proteins and fresh veggies. No recipe required here, just add your favorites (and check for five colors, of course).

Finger foods are fun: We aren’t talking about chicken tenders! Pack yourself a sophisticated spread of cheeses, crackers, olives, charcuterie or cold cuts, fresh vegetables (or quick pickles!) and sweet raw fruits. Enjoy mixing and matching flavors!

IT’S STILL HIP TO BE SQUARE

Even with a million colorful and flavorful ideas, a simple sandwich is sometimes the quickest route to a healthy lunch. If you find yourself in this position, don’t fret: You can still add color, texture and flavor to your square meal! Choose colorful jams for peanut butter sammies, and make sure to add lots of greens, tomatoes or bright seasonal veggies to that cold cut sandwich. Guacamole or hummus spreads are a nice way to add texture and flavor intrigue between slices of bread. Before you take your first bite, check it out — can you see all the colors? If not, stack that sando a little higher next time!
