when he walks in…
A few things… there is some Lucifer slander but that should be expected as he is the devil from da bible.
Also a few references to Paradise Lost. How can you write bible fanfics (or anything about Luci) without referencing the OG bible fanfic.
Sera is also a big part of this but I want to think that she was kind before the exterminations.
Also my interpretation of eve.
And Adam is so Ooc but there is still bits and pieces. I definitely headcanon that he wasn’t always a misogynistic prick but was spoiled because he never ate the apple.
And finally (Y/n) is used to refer to reader but it’s completely gender neutral.
Your purpose was to keep Lucifer busy so that he wouldn’t go out seeking Lilith.
The first memory you had was blurry and the conversation you overheard was fuzzy but you’re sure it was about you.
“I don’t want an angel I want the human woman.” A man shouted.
“You don’t want an angel, fine!” A woman replied as if trying to calm a toddler throwing a tantrum. A slight sting came from your back, feathers flew around you.
“Oh really? How’re they going to get around without wigs, Sera?” There was a triumphant tone in the man’s voice. “Face it, they can’t live here if they’re human but they can’t be down there because it’s supposed to be just a single man and a single woman, and if they have wings they’re an angel so I don’t want THEM!!”
“Fine!! You know what!! They’ll bleed red like the humans do but I’ll give them the wings of an insect. They’ll be like nothing or no one else. Will that make you happy. A being not quite human but most definitely not an angel.” You felt your skin contort and mutate as Sera molded and shifted your flesh.
“You want me to be with some hideous monster? No. Sera, no! I love Lilith. She’s just the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen.”
“Lucifer stop! She is Adam’s wife. You can have my new creation.” Sera pushed you forward and the first thing that properly came into your vision was the short man with blond hair and rosy cheeks.
“Get that freak away from me!” He shouted and ran off.
“Did I come out wrong?” Sera’s heart almost broke as you said those words.
“No Darling. You’re perfect. Just give him time.”
He never came back after that. News that he had taken Lilith away swept the city behind the pearly gates.
“Did I do something wrong Sera?”
“No darling. He never gave you a chance. Come on now. We should get back to work.”
“is that all I’m good for? Work work work! I have to run around maintaining balance for people who don’t even care about me, and all because Lucifer didn’t choose me. Where’s my choice?”
“What do you want to do then?” She groaned.
“I heard that a new bride was made for Adam. He named her Eve. I also heard that Raphael was going to visit them, can I go with? Please?” Sera smiled at you.
Sera nodded. “If you want to oversee the garden you may.”
“Thank you! Thank you! Thank You!!”
“Go get ready, it’s quite muddy down there so you should probably change out of your white clothes!”
It was so green down there. “Hi! I’m (Y/n). Sera made me.”
“Who’s Sera?” A beautiful girl with dark brown hair and tan skin asked. She had big brown eyes and was of shorter stature.
“Doesn’t matter right now. Who are you?” You said with curiosity. A taller man wrapped his arms around the woman.
“Back off! I already had one angel steal my first wife. I’m not letting Eve slip away so easily.”
“Yes that’s actually what we came to talk about.” Raphael had said.
////////////////////////////////////////
After explaining what had happened with Lucifer to the humans Raphael had left. Eve wandered off halfway through the story leaving you with Adam.
“So…” he started, leaning back on his hands.
“I have so many things I want to ask you! First off, what was Lilith like?” You sat next to him, your knees against your chest.
“Prideful and lazy. I told her over and over again that we needed to grow food for keep the lions from killing the lambs but all she wanted to do was lounge on the beach.”
“Next question. What’s life like down here?”
“It’s… great actually. Other than the slight of having Lilith taken. Eve’s just fantastic though, she listens to everything I ask of her. I always got the feeling that Lilith hated being made for me and she wanted to be her own person. So her leaving is whatever. I wouldn’t want to be told that my only purpose was to be made for someone else’s sake.”
“I was made for someone else and I was fine with it.”
“I feel like Eve’s like that. She was made from my rib ya know. I let her do whatever she wants when she feels like it so she doesn’t get suffocated and leave me too. I love her so fucking much. Trust me, when she gets back I’ll ask her to tell you about all her favorite fruits. You’ll love her as much as I do.”
“What is freedom like? What is it like to live for yourself? You and Eve get to don’t you?”
“Yeah. We still have our duties in the garden but she’s always so excited to help. Do you not have freedom?”
“Not particularly. Sera keeps me pretty busy. I live her her rules, her will alone.”
“Was she the one who you were made for?”
You look away bashfully. “No, I was made for Lucifer so he could stop obsessing over Lilith.”
“Well, thanks for failing. I wouldn’t have Eve if he gave up on Lilith.”
“That actually makes me feel a little better.”
“Hey are you always so obedient to that Sera chick?”
“I have to be. She created me and I must honor her rules and orders above all else.”
“You seem tense. How many rules do you have?”
“Too many to count.”
“We only have one rule here.”
“Don’t eat the apple from the forbidden tree.” You and him say in unison.
“I know.” You look away. “Adam. Promise me one thing.” You look back at him with a desperate look in your eyes. “No matter what you do you have to follow that one rule okay? No matter if you’re starving, no matter if Eve is being threatened. You can never break that rule. Not even if Eve does. Tell her too, okay. Not if she’s starving. Not if you’re being threatened. I already lost my purpose in life because the man I was made for broke the rules and got kicked out. Promise me that you will never break this one simple rule.”
“Okay! Geez, you’re kinda dramatic. I’ll go tell Eve.” He stood up and walked away.
“You’re purpose in life huh? Don’t be so dramatic!” A voice from behind you called out.
“You can’t be here! HE forbid it.”
“HE can’t tell me what to do anymore.”
“HE still loves you. Just apologize for what you did and we can go home.”
“I’m never going back. And I’m never going to be with you! So just take your disgusting SELF AND GO AWAY!!”
“Am I not good enough?”
“NO!!”
“Adam!?” You called out to him surprised at his sudden outburst.
“Eve!” Lucifer shouted worriedly as you both rushed to where the cry came from.
“WHAT DID YOU DO!! (Y/N)!! HELP!! We can fix this… WE CAN FIX THIS RIGHT??!!”
“What happened?” You asked trying to calm Adam down.
“I’m sorry. They said I didn’t know what I was doing. They said I was ignorant. I was. I was so stupid.”
“…What did you do Lucifer?”
“I showed her the truth. The truth that all of you were trying to hide.” He smirked triumphantly. However his smile faded as lightning struck behind him. The winds picked up. The sky darkened with rain clouds rolling in.
“Eve just apologize. Just say you made a mistake. HE is very forgiving. Please.”
“But it’s their fault! They tricked me! I’m not the one to blame! It was them! It was him!” She tried to reason.
“No no no! Just apologize! Eve just apologize! You won’t be in trouble. Just own up to your mistakes and ask for forgiveness!” You tried to persuade.
“Eve just do it!” Adam demanded.
“You eat it. We can do this together.” She pleaded.
“I… I can’t.”
“What’s the big deal? It’s just a stupid apple. Now she can be more informed about her own life.” Lucifer shouted.
“it was their one rule! Why couldn’t you just mind your own FUCKING business!” You shouted at him. “I wasn’t good enough so you had to have Lilith! I thought maybe, just maybe, now that he’s happy I could move on! I was ecstatic when I saw them! I thought overseeing them would bring me a sense of purpose! But no! You had to mess that up for me too!”
“Do you honestly think that I give a shit about you?! That for one moment I thought about YOU!?” Lucifer laughed in your face. “That’s utterly pathetic!! YOU’RE pathetic!!”
“You shut up! They’re great! They’re kind and they actually want to protect us!!” Adam yelled as he held Eve.
No matter what kind word he said, Lucifer’s words stung like nothing else. Tears flowed from your eyes.
“You know what? Fuck you Lucifer!” You shouted and ran away.
////////////////////////////////////////
You hadn’t thought about that for nearly 5 decades. Then a certain brunette walked up behind Sera. He was rounder and dressed in white and gold robes. “Little darling. I’d like you to meet Adam, the first man.”
“We’ve met. Hi!” You waved.
“Hey teeny.” He smiled.
“Hey! I’m not short! You grew since the last time I saw you! I wasn’t this small when I-” You cut yourself off.
“When we first met, I know.” He smiled softly. But his smile drop as he spoke next. “She’s gone. He succeeded in taking her away from me. I thought you’d like to know.”
“Adam, I’m sorry. I should’ve-”
“Hey. I’m here because of you. You saved me. You tried to save her.” He cut you off and wrapped you in a hug. “Sorry. I just need this.”
“Take as long as you need.” You hugged him back.
////////////////////////////////////////
“Ugh! Those dumb fucking whores!” Adam shouted.
“What’s wrong now?” You groaned. Adam had gotten an attitude after he made it into Heaven.
“It’s that short fucking clown and the whore he left you for! Those skanks had a baby! She was such a lazy prude when she was with me but apparently she couldn’t keep her fucking legs closed and put out for that ugly little shit!”
“Hypocrite. You‘ve been having sex with pretty much anything that moves.”
“Okay but the difference is that I actually populated the earth like I was suppose to. She was created to be the mother of all humans yet she goes off and makes hell-spawn instead.”
“Are you feeling insecure?” You teased.
“No! Fuck you, bitch!” You giggled as he pouted.
“Hey! I just had an idea how we can get back at them.”
“How?”
“We get married.”
“WHAT THE FUCK?!” He blushed. “We can’t do that!”
“Why not? If you’re not into me or you don’t want to give up sleeping around then you can just say so. But it would say to the brat downstairs that he isn’t the only one who can swoop in and steal away someone else’s lady. And it would prove to our Ex that we aren’t still thinking about each other.”
“But we are.”
“They don’t have to know that.”
“If we do this you’re taking my awesome dick every night.”
“Deal, you big horny crybaby.” You kissed the tip of his nose.
The news of the spur wedding rocked the pearly gates and all seven rings of Hell. All except the palace of the pride ring. They all couldn’t care less.
////////////////////////////////////////
It’s been a few months since you two got married. You sat brushing your husbands wings.
“Hey babe?” He turned to you slightly.
“Yes?”
“…do you think that I’m a good person?”
“Why do you ask?”
“…I feel like everyone always pities me because of my exes. They always say how I’m so good for listening. Does that make me a good person?”
“Sometimes you can be a bit misogynistic.”
“You get paid more than me! Why do I always have to pay for supper!?”
“Because you barely ever let me choose where we eat.” You tease.
“Spicy food makes me sick! I don’t want to be stuck on the toilet for three hours just because of your freakishly high tolerance.” He pouts.
“It’s also gentlemanly to pay. Besides you insist on getting burritos from that one place twice a month. …why do you ask anyway?”
“Sera’s got this dumb idea. It’s got me thinking about what makes a good person.”
“I wouldn’t know, I was created to follow rules. If I didn’t, I’d fall like Lucifer.”
“We had one rule. Then everything changed when Kane killed Able. I don’t even know if I’m a good person.”
“I think killing is back, harming children is also bad, sexual abuse is also bad. All these things are very purposeful though. People like that don’t change, but you changed. You used to sleep around and now you’re committed to me and you seem much happier.
“Can sinners change?”
“Not all obviously, but if they wanted to maybe.”
“I love you.” He whispered.
“I love you too baby.” When he walks in I am loved… I am loved.

A Lone Melody (Pt. 5)
Soft Platonic Yandere Arlong & OC(Melody)
Main|First|Previous
Warnings: None. Excessive cuteness of a child. World and lore building?
Word Count: 1,846
Tumblr media
They docked the ship at Fishman Island, frankly the only place Arlong felt comfortable doing this at. He wanted to give Melody the kind of support he never got as a child for his own first time being totally submersed and learning how to breathe. He was helped by a mermaid who realized he was almost five and had never properly learned yet. She was kind and gentle and one of the first people he ensured had a good nest egg when he started making money—but she wasn’t family.
Maybe that made it more noble and sweet, a true testament to how they all needed to look out for each other, but it was something his own father should have done in leu of his mother. At bare minimum, his responsibility. But clearly that useless bastard only knew how to sire kids, not raise them. And now Shyarly could meet her niece as well.
Jinbe walked alongside him as they approached the mermaid café that his half sister worked at, Melody sitting up in his arms and looking around in wonder. It was the first island he’d ever allowed her to get off at—refusing to trust any island predominantly occupied by humans. Light blue dress with seafoam green frills and small orange fish swimming along the hem a recent purchase that suited his pup. He wanted Shyarly to meet her niece in something that wasn’t a onesie, as convenient as those were while they were at sea.
If Jinbe had his way, she’d be wearing a kimono. But the idea of trying to ensure his pup didn’t loosen the tie by accident while exploring simply didn’t appeal to him. Maybe when she wasn’t so enchanted by the idea of running around on her own and getting into everything. Last week she’d snuck into the storeroom and tried to eat a potato so old it was successfully growing new potatoes spuds along with mold. How and why was elaborated on in simple sentences.
“Daaah! Tha’ poh-tat-oh smell good!” Melody had cheerfully declared while still trying to stuff it into her mouth. Jinbe had, in an effort to encourage her speech, corrected her words rather than her actions. Leaving Arlong to gently pry the potato away, finding the smell personally offensive.
It had probably gotten lost between the barrels and was now inedible. Likely only good for food poisoning.
“It’s ‘the potato smells good’, baby.” Jinbe cooed with a smile before wrinkling his nose at the potato. “What are you even smelling, Melody? It’s clearly gone bad.” Melody huffed, still reaching for the potato with a pout. Not quite used to being told ‘no’ for any reason… Arlong may be spoiling his daughter a bit when he could. But he’d never admit it.
The door opened with a soft chime, the waitresses turning their heads briefly to see who was coming in. At the back, serving a table of rowdy humans, was Shyarly with a bubble to help her move around. Her dark hair was short still, dark purple dress flowing to her hips just under a bubble ring. She waved at him briefly before turning her attention back to the table. Another mermaid, with a tail that was long and slender like an eel, beamed. Clearly recognizing one of them.
“Jinbe! It’s been a while! Let me get you two—three a table! Does the little cutie need a highchair?” She asked politely while leaning over to wave at Melody who, awestruck, waved back. Body swaying with a clear desire to both stay in his arms while also personally investigating the mermaid.
Jinbe answered while Arlong was distracted with trying to keep Melody firmly seated.
“Yes please, Kagiri.” Jinbe smiled. “It’s good to see you’re doing well.”
“Dah! She’s so pretty! And her tail is like a noodle!” Melody ‘whispered’ to him, the young mermaid very entertained by the comment as Melody flapped her arm to demonstrate the noodle likeness. Arlong huffed a laugh.
“Melody, it’s a bit rude to comment on someone’s tail like that.” Arlong chastised her lightly. Melody looked perplexed and glanced at the mermaid as though checking.
“Oh… I’m sorry. It’s just so pretty—I promise I wasn’t gonna to bite it.” Melody reassured her.
“T-That’s alright, sweetie. I wasn’t worried about that—” the mermaid struggled to not laugh. “How old are you?” Melody puffed up with pride, baring her now mostly full set of sharp teeth.
“I’m two!” Melody held up her hand and, after a brief correction from Jinbe, showed off two fingers with pride.
“Wow! You’re a big girl, practically all grown up!” Kagiri cooed playfully. “And you know what big girls get? Their own chair.” She pulled out a highchair designed to accommodate both mermaid and fishmen children with a small buckle to secure them. Melody had never been in a chair before on her own, Arlong simply holding her for meals whenever Jinbe wouldn’t.
Another waitress, a young mermaid with a flowing blue tail, took the chair and set it up at a booth, allowing Arlong and Jinbe to be seated within easy reach of Melody’s chair. Arlong was a little nervous about how she’d react, but apparently the prospect of being ‘a big girl’ with her own chair was exciting. A few pieces of paper and crayons laid on the surface of the chair’s table to entertain her. A task she eagerly indulged in with a serious pout on her face. Any attempt to see what she was drawing was met with an angry huff and her arms slapping over the paper.
“Alright! I’ll stop trying to look! Sorry, pup.” Arlong acquiesced with a smile, leaning over to kiss her cheek apologetically. She huffed but kissed his cheek back, arms still trying to block out what was clearly the rough figure of Kagiri with a long, noodle tail.
“Arlong! I didn’t expect to see you here, let alone with company. You’re always so grumpy.” Shyarly came over with a teasing grin. “And who are you?” She leaned over to be at eyelevel with Melody.
Melody stopped drawing, eyes wide through her black-tipped bangs as she beamed. Shyarly followed her gaze and smiled, curling up her tail to show Melody.
“Ahck!” Melody cried out, gently grabbing the crescent shaped fin to marvel at it. “Dah! It’s like tha moon!” Melody looked at Arlong for confirmation. Shyarly chuckled, poking Melody’s cheek while looking at him expectantly.
“This is Melody. We found her at sea and took her in.” Arlong explained fondly. “Careful, she’s taken to biting things she likes.”
“Biting? Who, this cute little pup?” Shyarly cooed, gently ruffling Melody’s hair as she rubbed her face on the tail. Clearly trying to refrain from biting—an impulse Arlong had reluctantly started to curb once he realized she was still fully capable of puncturing his skin despite her mixed heritage. She opened her mouth wide and froze, pulling back to bite her hand instead with a frustrated grunt. “Haven’t you gotten this poor pup a teething ring, Arlong? She’s part shark, isn’t she? I had the same problem as a pup. She’ll grow out of it.”
Arlong flushed, shrugging his shoulders a bit helplessly. He had, in fact, gotten her many teething rings. Most were demolished quickly, though the Adam wood ones lasted the longest. Metal was just not good for her teeth.
“We’re not sure what kind of mix she has, honestly.” Jinbe admitted with a shrug. “But we do know she’s half human.” At that Shyarly looked surprised, glancing at Arlong like she expected him to deny it.
He couldn’t really blame her? His attitude about humans was hardly a secret.
Arlong leaned over and gently took Melody’s hand from her mouth. Wiping it with a napkin to see if she’d hurt herself. Melody was rather good about not breaking skin once they started training her to be more aware of her bite strength. Pleased to see now damage, just a slightly damp fist, Arlong kissed her cheek again.
“She’s my daughter. Nothing else matters.” Arlong explained quietly with a huff. “Maybe not by blood, but she’s no less mine.”
Shyarly still looked surprised, but there was an undeniable look of pride in her eyes.
“Well then, I guess that’s that!” Shyarly declared with a smile before turning to Melody who was still gently stroking the curve of her fin. “Hey, sweetie. Do you know who I am?” Melody paused, looking up at her.
“…No? B-But you have a pretty tail! I can say that, right dah?” Melody asked. Arlong chuckled and nodded.
Shyarly laughed, tapping Melody’s nose to regain her attention.
“I’m your auntie! Arlong’s my older brother—you can just call me Auntie Shar.” Melody gasped.
“I have a pretty auntie, Auntie Shar!” Melody declared, much to Shyarly’s delight.
“And I have a cute little niece! You have such precious eyes!” Shyarly cooed.
“I’m taking her for her first swim later this evening. Would you like to join us?” Arlong asked. Shyarly’s reaction was instant.
“Oh! Her first swim! Oh, little pup, you’re going to go swimming today? I’d love to come!” Shyarly agreed. “The little grotto by the bay, right? Where we used to swim when I was almost as small as she is?” Arlong nodded with a fond smile.
Arlong hadn’t been there for Shyarly’s first swim, but he often took her to a small, secluded area to make sure her tail didn’t grow weak from lack of use. ‘Walking’ with a bubble ring was convenient on land and less abrasive for mermaid tails, but the movements were different from swimming. Trying to walk with their tails was difficult and the end result ridiculous for all parties. Mermaids that never swam often had problems with their tails later in life, usually weakness or becoming bent in painful shapes. The pressure from their weight and the streets wearing down on their scales, muscles, and bones.
Of course she’d remember where it was without him saying it.
First swims were a more private, family-oriented affair. Sometimes frightening and undeniably a vulnerable moment for guppies and pups. And, traditionally, done in the shallow reefs. It just wasn’t the same doing it in a tub or pool, which was considered bad luck. Often being taken as a sign that the family was preparing their children to live far away from the sea—something that usually only occurs if they’re sold into slavery.
So yeah.
Arlong was taking his daughter on her first swim to the sea. Where she’ll learn what freedom, true freedom, feels like. Not the wind on an open deck or a port town.
Just the endless blue sea that she can explore at her leisure—when she grows up of course.
They ordered their food and left Shyarly to tend to her other customers. Arlong keeping an eye out for her while helping Melody eat.
Predictably, both Kagiri and Shyarly each received a picture of themselves lovingly rendered in messy crayon with an abundance of lopsided hearts. They were delivered with hopeful eyes and a hug that couldn’t be denied, even if they wanted to—which they naturally did not.

Chapter 7 - You, Me, And The Cobwebs
“Ooh, Bill! Want me to buy you a pretzel?” Pina taunts, pointing towards a glass case with a lone pastry inside of it. “I love spoiling my dates. Only thirty-four years old; nice and fresh~”
Bill looks at the case, and immediately suppresses a gag. “Dude, ew!”
The single abandoned treat, despite its age, is still in its classic knotted shape, albeit covered in green and gray mold. It hangs on the rusted metal hook just as it did when the mall was in its heyday, under a broken light bulb that once glowed and kept it warm.
After the gross joke takes some time to settle, Pina can also feel himself getting a little queasy looking at the inedible food. “...For real, I don’t know what’s nastier. The fact that it’s older than both of us, or the fact that it’s still identifiable as a pretzel.”
“Yes.”

Hey! I was wondering if I could get a fluff matchup for demon slayer and/or bungou stray dogs!
My name is Rose, I’m 5’6, with tan skin and half blonde half auburn hair. I’m also a Capricorn and ENFJ personality type. I’m a very spiritual person and love to connect with others and nature. Some of my hobbies include reading, writing music, playing violin and guitar, swimming, and traveling! I also loveeee animals and the ocean. I’m studying to work in marine wildlife rehab, but I also love avians. (I nurse sick and injured birds! This year alone I’ve released five birds, and currently have two robins in my care named porky and stinky!) I work as a waitress and part time at a vet clinic. Oh, and my favorite colors are pink and green! 🙃
(I have never seen bungou stray dogs, so I will give you two Demon Slayer matchups instead!!!) I think you and me would get along very well!! (Laughs in spiritualism and crystal debt) I also picked both a male and female because I didn't want to assume your sexuality! I wrote it very fluffy so you can pick one or the other or both!!
I match you up with Mitsuri and Obanai!!!
I just KNOW You and Mitsuri met because you both tried to save the same bird!!!
We will say that this is in the future when they are reincarnated together, and own their little food stall/bakery place!!
~Mitsuri and you locked eyes as you both hovered over a dove, the poor thing having been hit by a stray car driving past.
~You both got distracted by each other, until the bird tweeted and reminded you of its distress
~Misturi squealed and scooped the bird up, begging asking you to follow her
-
"Kyaaaa!!!! Obanai!!! Quick get a box!!!" She squealed, dragging you behind her with an unforeseen strength. Obanai glanced between you, the dove, and Mitsuri before groaning and grabbing and empty box from the back, lining it with some paper towels. He gave you a glare when he thought you stood to close to his wife.
"And just who are you?" He asked, crossing his arms and leering towards you.
"Oh, I'm Y/N! Sorry, her and I both found the bird at the same time." You said, introducing yourself with a smile. Obanai looked you up and down, making you blush a little under his gaze. Finally he rolled his eyes and stepped next to you, so you were squeezed in between the two very attractive shop owners. You tried to ignore them and gently reached forward to assess the dove. Nothing seemed broken, but the poor thing was definitely banged around and a little dazed. Mitsuri let out a displeased whine, before she abruptly hugged both you and Obanai.
"Uwwaaaaaaaa!!!!!! Obanaiiiiii, Y/NNNNN!!!!!! This poor bird is going to die!!!!!" She said, crying into your shoulders. You glanced over at Obanai, who shrugged at you and gently began to pet his wife's hair.
"There there, Mitsuri, cycle of life and de-"
"Oh, no, I can take it with me!!" You quickly said, smiling brightly. "I work at a vet clinic, and I nurse injured birds back to health!! I'll gladly take the little guy with me!!"
Mitsuri starts crying tears of joy and hugs you again, nearly squeezing you to death. Obanai groans, but thanks you for making his wife happy.
-
~Thus your adventures with them begin!!!!
~You take the dove home, naming him Dumptruck after the vehicle that hit him. (And because of his cute and fluffy butt)
~You give Mitsuri and Obanai your address, and they visit often to see his progress!!! You three start getting closer this way, And eventually become good friends!!
~Mitsuri spoils you with mochi and cakes, Obanai chastises her for trying to give you diabetes.
~You and Obanai take a lot of walks in nature together!! He really likes it when you teach him how to ground himself and meditate. (I hc that he is autistic and Mitsuri is ADHD, so Obanai loves the chance to teach himself how to deal with overstimulation)
~Eventually, your apartment comes down with a batch of black mold in its complex, so Obanai and Mitsuri just allow you to move in with them!!!
~Baked goods all the time from Mitsuri
~Dumptruck makes a full recovery!!! You three release him back into the world and you realize you may be falling for one/both of them
~(I didn't see your romantic preference anywhere, so thats why I picked a boy and a girl! If you are straight, then the relationship is you x Obanai x Mitsuri, or if you are only into girls then its you x Mitsuri x Obanai. Or, if you like both, that its you x Obanai AND Mitsuri! I wrote it a little more vague so you could imagine it any way that you liked!!!)
~In short, no matter how your relationship works with them, you are loved fully and wholeheartedly! The love that you adore nature and are always getting you plants or bringing you back rocks they find pretty from walks.
~Obanai melts whenever you play the violin, he loves it!!!
~When Obanai rescues his new pet snake from an unethical breeder, you and Mitsuri constantly make them matching paper hats and make them take pictures together.
~Cuddles with them are amazing. Mitsuri is always the big spoon, no exceptions. You and Obanai switch being the middle/little spoon. Somtimes you and Obanai will get pulled into Mitsuri's chest and you just kinda....give up and lay there.(Worlds comfiest pillow)
~Kisses with either are sweet and tiny, nothing super heated because either Mitsuri gets flustered and squeals uncontrollably or Obanai actually gets the giggles and can't stop smiling.
~omg dates with either of them are always well thought out and planed, I mean in the sense that they always take your every like and dislike into consideration. Mitsuri favors foodie/picnic dates and Obanai favors nature walks and double/group dates with others!
~And yes, you all constantly are taking in birds that need rehabilitated.
AHHHH I'm sorry this took so long i've been working doubles for the past week!! I hope you like!!!!!

for a moment (it feels like heaven)
Fandom: Wayfarer Pairing: (pre-relationship) Zayah Medrash/Aeran Kellis Rating: G Words: 1410 (read on AO3)
It’s raining again.
Edgewater’s dilapidated buildings take on a pallid grey hue, the dull pewter of the heavy rainclouds reflected in the myriad puddles dotting the steet. Zayah’s long given up on any attempt to keep dry - she keeps her head bowed as she strides purposefully towards the ramshackle apartment she and Aeran call home.
The sight of Mulch Lane has her sighing with too many emotions, disappointment and relief at the forefront. It deepens her sense of failure, highlights the many ways her life has declined over the years. Ever since the Spire… don’t think about that, she chastises herself as she carefully picks her way up the wet and slippery stairs. There’s no point in dredging up old, painful memories. Exhaling in a huff, she manages to balance the worn wicker basket against her hip as she opens the door. 
The air inside is stale and smells of mold. In this weather, the damp rot is more pronounced, near-cloying even with the window open. Zayah wrinkles her nose, sets the basket on the ground, and gets to work building a small fire in the chipped, stained brick hearth.
It takes a few tries, but soon an orange glow half-heartedly fills the fireplace. She takes a moment to observe the flicker and sway of the flames. It’s a simple kind of pleasure to watch them and let the rabid, frenzied thoughts drift away from her, the troubles of being penniless and in the web of a powerful, dangerous man momentarily forgotten.
Aeran is out somewhere, still searching for clues. Usually they’d stand in the line to the soup kitchen, but not today. Today, they’ll eat well - she’ll make sure of it. Humming to herself, she pulls out the two cod she caught with her shabby fishing pole. Standing on the pier had gotten her some strange looks, but she’s a wayfarer - strange looks are all she knows.
She scales and debones the fish with ease, a fond smile on her lips as she thinks of Hymah. The family chef had taught her a great deal about cooking, lessons that Zayah uses to this day. Of all of those who inhabited the Medrash villa, Hymah had been the wisest - she had foreseen a rough path for the family’s unwanted magianis daughter and had tried to prepare Zayah accordingly. 
There will be a day, Hymah’s words play in her mind, when you will not have access to the luxuries you are granted now, Zayah. When that day comes, knowing how to cook using the barest scraps will be the difference between life and death. Now come and tell me which of these onions are truly spoiled.
A chuckle breaks free at the memory, as she trims away the bruised and discolored bits from the assortment of vegetables she’d been able to salvage from the market. In Rona, where every third person went hungry, even spoiled food has value. It had taken every last bit of her charm and persuasion (and even some flirting, which had amused and flustered Aeran) to get some of the vendors to set aside some of their damaged produce for her.
Onion, chopped. Garlic, minced. (She may have snagged some when the vendor wasn’t looking - she’ll find a way to make it up to them later). Four maybe-too-green potatoes, three squishy, overripe tomatoes, zucchini and bell pepper that have seen better days. Ale from the Slippery Weasel… and she also nicked some spices from the cook there, dill and thyme and peppercorns and four precious, precious bay leaves (he wasn’t using them properly had been her defense when Aeran gave her his disapproving look).
She hangs the pot over the campfire, a dented, blackened thing that Thelkar had (reluctantly) donated, adds the last of the oil she’d bought from Emari. 
The onions sizzle in the heat, their scent driving away that of the decaying wood. The garlic adds to the aroma. In go the vegetables, and as she stirs them about the tomatoes release their juices. She adds the herbs, debating over whether or not to break the bay leaf in half before she shrugs and tosses the whole thing in. Finally, the fish, ale, and a generous mug of water, some cracked pepper and  salt to taste, before she covers the pot and lets it simmer.
A heavy tread outside tells her Aeran has returned. He gingerly opens the door, the curly mop of his hair plastered to his scalp, a frustrated twist to his features. 
“Any luck?” she asks as he steps in.
“No,” he shakes his head like a wet dog, droplets of water flying everywhere. “Had to pay Yarrow a crown to get her to keep an ear out.” He gives the air an experimental sniff. “Something smells good.”
“I got lucky,” Zayah points at his muddy boots and frowns. Aeran obediently takes them off and leaves them near the door. “Caught two cod off the docks. There’s fish stew in the pot.”
“Then it’s a good thing I have this,” Aeran grins, and digs through his pack, triumphantly pulling out something wrapped in wax paper. 
“What is that?”
“My share of dinner,” he’s still grinning, the corners of his eyes crinkled up in genuine delight. His damp curls form pretty ringlets, and she has the momentary urge to curl a finger around one and give it the gentlest of tugs. He’s so pleased with himself, so happy about whatever it is he’s holding, that she wants, desperately so, to go to him and kiss his cheek. “I got some bread!”
She gasps theatrically. “Fresh bread?” Her smile threatens to take over her face.
“Fresh bread,” he confirms, unwrapping the loaf and displaying it as though it were a sacred trophy.
“How did you manage that?”
He winks at her. Her cheeks heat up, and she prays he doesn’t see the flush tipping her ears. “That’s my secret, Zee.” 
“Go on, dry yourself off and then we can eat.”
Aeran nods, and starts to pull off his armor. She keeps her back turned to him to offer him a semblance of privacy, though it’s more for her sake than his. She’s seen him without clothes plenty of times - hell, they’ve seen each other naked - but she knows if she peeks, there’s a good chance she might be able to stop herself from staring. He’s your friend, give him some respect, dammit.
It’s easier said than done, though. Especially when she has those ribbons of want and desire curled around her heart.
He comes to sit by her side, hair freshly toweled, wearing a dry tunic that reveals those muscular arms. He’s so close to her, and he smells faintly of sweat and the scent she associates as Aeran; his arm presses up against hers and their knees bump in the space that forms their little bubble. He rolls his shoulders with a groan, the action drawing attention to his tattoos. Zayah smiles at the sight of that familiar pattern, those three lines that are also part of hers. “Is it done yet? I’m starving.”
“Yeah, I think so,” she lifts it from the hook and places it on the floor. When she opens the lid, fragrant steam pours out like a roiling fog, filling their tiny apartment with a cozy ambiance.
Aeran tears the loaf, and hands one half to her. Without further ado, he dunks the soft, sweet, yeasty bread into the stew and bites into it, his eyes fluttering closed as he savors the flavor. “This is so good, Zee. You’re a genius.”
She laughs. “You’re easily impressed,” she retorts, dipping her own piece of bread to sample her cooking. It’s nowhere close to Hymah’s cooking, but that’s okay. It tastes of comfort and offers satisfaction and satiation. It is warm food, good food, and she made it for them, and they’re eating it together, and there is contentment in the act of sharing. 
The rest of the meal is enjoyed in affectionate camaraderie, filled with fond teasing and warm memories. The storm worsens outside, rolls of thunder accompanying the heavy, pelting rain. Somewhere out there is a Count searching for a chalice and a contract that needs to be fulfilled. The world, cold and callous, will always be waiting to tear them down. Here, however, in this moment, nothing matters more to Zayah than the taste of fresh-baked bread and food made with care, shared with the man she loves.

— BACKGROUND
the  oldest  daughter,  but  second  youngest  child,  following  a  twin  brother,  josephine  was  born  tip  toeing  between  fortunate  and  unfortunate.  yes,  she  was  a  daughter  of  highgarden,  the  most  illustrious  and  royal  house  of  westeros,  but  she  had  also  been  born  a  weakling  thing,  too  small  and  prone  to  a  coughing  that  would  raise  concerns  of  all  who  cared  for  her.  from  this  infancy,  josephine  would  become  accustomed  to  the  fussing  of  nursemaids  and  maesters  who  would  tend  to  her  every  step.
like  a  rose  grown  in  a  glass  house,  josephine  was  nurtured  under  close  watch  and  a  tight  regime.  fearing  she  would  wilt,  the  sect  of  healers  would  follow  her  throughout  her  life,  poking  and  probing  and  assuring  she  was  of  good  health  and  good  disposition  —  the  later  was  not  always  an  easy  feat  when  she  was  sequestered  within  the  gilded  walls  of  highgarden,  but  she  learned  to  and  was  encouraged  to  distract  herself,  even  if  in  distance  of  the  boisterous  enjoyment  of  the  other  children  of  the  palace.
with  so  much  free  time,  they  molded  a  varied  palate  of  pastimes,  from  languages  to  music,  learning  to  both  write  and  speak  a  few  tongues,  and  both  play  and  write  some  instruments.  their  real  talent  and  merriment,  however,  would  come  from  the  arts.  instructed  by  the  hand  and  mastery  of  a  senior  scholar,  josephine  was  taught  how  to  sketch,  then  draw,  then  paint  —  it  mattered  not  the  subject,  nor  the  canvas  (  even  if  not  on  paper  )  nor  its  purpose  (  if  but  a  playful  doodle  to  distract  a  child  or  an  unassuming  architectural  project  for  a  forgotten  wing  of  the  palace  );  as  long  as  they  could  put  thought  to  paper,  they  were  content.
despite  enjoying  their  gilded  cage  (  and  there  could  be  no  denying  she  did  enjoy  all  sorts  of  glittery  things  ),  josephine  did  attempt,  now  and  then,  to  become  more  of  their  own  person.  they  begin  to  pick  their  own  food  (  too  much  green  and  too  many  sweets  ),  their  own  taste  of  fashion,  of  music  and  literature  —  and  even  their  own  name;  though  josephine  was  just  fine,  and  would  still  always  remain  their  official,  princess-y  name,  all  that  she  comes  across,  noble  born  or  not,  are  instructed  to  refer  to  her  as  posey,  something  they  thought  befitting  of  them  in  every  way.  they  also  began  to  extend  her  walks,  and  to  visit  oldtown  herself  and  to  take  her  sister’s  lessons  of  dancing,  which  had  been  denied  to  her  before  due  to  her  conditions.  though  she  did  become  tired  faster  than  her  peers  still,  she  did  not  rest,  and  would  soon  be  known  for  her  graceful  and  enthusiastic  manner.
by  the  time  her  brother  ascended,  officially,  as  king,  posey  knew  the  way  to  enjoy  their  life  —  oft  early  risings  and  always  late  nights,  they  enjoyed  being  one  of  the  very  last  to  retire,  tied  to  a  cards  table  or  engrossed  on  a  sketch  by  the  moonlight.  they  become  an  avid  patron  of  novices  and  masters  at  oldtown,  funding  their  artistic  and  medic  findings,  even  gaining  the  possibility  to  illustrate  a  couple  of  her  endorser’s  books  herself.  she  is  comfortable,  content,  spoiled  —  and  too  stubborn  to  move  out  of  this  comfort  as  well,  happier  to  be  by  highgarden  than  to  have  to  change  her  whole  world  for  the  sake  of  a  spouse.  her  family  is  patient  with  her,  this  can  not  be  denied,  indulging  her  denials  of  engagements  even  without  reason,  for  her  whims  seem  to  be  enough  so.
the  betrothal  with  the  lannister  has  displeased  and  soured  her  considerably.  convinced  they  would  be  able  to  escape  it  —  as  she  had  before  —  they  were  disappointed  to  be  lectured  and  dissuaded;  they  ended  up  acquiencing,  if  only  for  the  sake  of  their  brother  and  family.
still,  the  approaching  festivities  for  her  wedding  (  what  a  weird  thing  to  even  imagine  for  herself  )  makes  them  anxious,  as  they  can  not  imagine  themselves  away  from  highgarden,  nor  do  they  find  themselves  fitting  for  such  an  important  role.  yes,  she  may  have  been  bred  and  raised  for  it,  but  it  did  not  mean  posey  cared  for  ruling  or  the  machinations  of  court,  or  anything  but  courtly  enjoyment  and  gossiping  here  and  there.  but  then,  he  is  a  lannister  —  she  will  be  comfortable,  won’t  she ?  there’s  nothing  else  to  cling  to. at  least  she  has  stopped  wearing  a  dramatic  cut  of  mourning  for  her  own  self,  now  that  the  guests  have  begun  arriving.
— TIDBITS
despite  not  inclined  to  phisical  activities  of  the  outdoors  (  as  she  doesn’t  have  costume  nor  the  physical  ability  and  gets  tired  earlyish  ),  posey  adores  to  be  outside,  and  often  is  found  doing  what  she  can  outside,  either  that  be  with  her  needlepoint  hoops  or  sketchbooks  or  simply  hand  in  hand  with  her  maids.  
posey  adores  animals,  but  mostly  those  of  small  port  /  pets;  they  have  at  least  two  lapdogs  and  one  cat  (  besides  the  strays  they  would  beg  for  their  maesters  to  tend  to  ),  and  has  been  known  to  always  bug  the  staff  to  keep  bird  feeders  and  bowls  of  food  filled  for  special  visitors.
despite  their  love  for  luxury,  they  are  not  very  extravagant  dressers,  nor  are  them  too  bold.  they  do  enjoy  rich  fabrics  and  intricate  details  (  has  done  the  embroidery  of  some  of  her  gowns  and  acessories,  and  enjoys  wearing  her  sister’s  handmade  too  ),  but  the  cut  is  modest  enough.  she  does  like  acessories  and  jewerly  and  often  has  her  hair  done  well,  often  with  ribbons,  flowers  or  jewerly.
they  can  play  the  harp,  the  hapsichord  and  the  lute;  also  the  flute,  though  rather  badly.
quite  terrible  at  sleeping  or  just  staying  still.  pretty  much  relies  of  any  form  of  caffeine  found  on  westeros  at  the  moment.

if  her  family  have  their  oppositors,  the  same  can  not  be  stretched  to  posey.  yes,  there  are  probably  many  people  who  believe  them  to  be  entitled,  spoiled  or  even  an  unworthy  brat,  but  posey,  usually,  does  not  pay  much  mind  to  it  and  is  content  to  be  farly  adored  by  the  smallfolk  and  the  staff,  to  whom  she  is  generally  generous  and  kind  towards.

Hello and happy Friday! For DADWC, perhaps "Secrets beneath floorboards, memories in the walls," if that strikes your fancy?
Absolutely! I haven’t written him or the rest of the family in a while, but I think I’ll write some contemplative Maxwell Trevelyan for @dadrunkwriting ! (Yes this is the saga of Henrietta, someday I’m finishing this fic I swear).
House Trevelyan was built on secrets. There were secrets under every floorboard and memories soaked in every wall. All noble houses were like that, no matter the nation, and Maxwell Trevelyan was molded by duty and secrets. Modest in Temper, Bold in Deed, full of secrets to be taken to the grave.
At least, there would still be secrets if his daughter wasn’t such a determined, fiery, independent girl- so much like her mother that Maxwell struggled to see himself in his own child, save for her height and adoration of horses. Had he not been the same, before he took his duties as heir seriously, before he had an entire brood of younger brothers to follow his lead, before he had a sister-
A sister. One of those other family secrets Henrietta rooted out while wandering through the family portrait gallery. Then she was tripping through the genealogy records, pestering everyone she met until she dragged the story of the youngest Trevelyan child out into the light-
Maxwell hadn’t forgiven his brothers for the parts they played in that fiasco. The discovery of a secret aunt fascinated his daughter. She peppered him with questions regularly: what was she like? What were Aunt Evelyn’s favorite foods? Her favorite color? Did she like animals? Horses? I bet she liked horses. Maxwell knew his answers were terribly brief and disappointing: quiet. She liked sweets. Pink, I think. Yes, but she was too small to ride the horses. She had a pony, before- and he stopped there, secrets clamping down on his windpipe until he choked. Before The Incident, before the fire in his father’s study. He was away at school in Val Royeux at the time, only to return a month later on break to find his sister gone and his family stone-faced.
She is a Mage, he was told. What else is to be done? Forget about her if you can, but you must hold your tongue and bury her in your heart. She’s another secret for House Trevelyan now. She is lost.
This explanation did not sit well with Henrietta when he gave it to her. So what, she shouted over breakfast, cutlery shaking as she slammed her hands on the table. She’s my aunt! I want to write to her! And no matter what Maxwell said, no matter how he pleaded, no matter what he ordered, Henrietta was as she ever was: fiercely independent and tenacious, clever when she put her mind to it.
Headstrong and willful, his father would sigh, disapproval etched into the furrow between his thick dark brows. Wild and spoiled, his mother would exclaim as she shook her head, emeralds glittering at her throat like the eyes of a particularly snobby cat. Unrefined, his grandmother would placidly remark over a glass of wine, but not incorrigible.
Henrietta is a delightful breath of fresh air, his sister wrote to him in her short missive inviting him to Skyhold to retrieve his wayward child, who ran off from finishing school to visit a beloved aunt she never met. His sister! By Andraste, he and Emily boarded a ship the very day they received the message that Henrietta was at Skyhold. Healthy, hale, and safe, his sister assured him, but Maxwell could not, would not rest until he saw his daughter with his own eyes.
Which he had. And now she was perched on the emerald green loveseat across from his armchair in the Inquisitor’s private quarters. Her mouth was set in a grim, determined line, her bright red hair (just like Emily’s) pulled back into a loose tail. She looked healthy, a little pink in the cheeks from the cold and the wind, but well enough and comfortable in wool tunic and leggings. She had a bit of straw caught up her her hair. Horses, once again. Always with the horses.
“Scold me all you like, father. You can lock me up in the dungeons or in a tower or ban me from riding or sailing or make me sew samplers until my hair turns white, but you mustn’t blame Aunt Evelyn for this! I never told her I was coming to visit. I arrived quite unexpectedly,” Henrietta insisted in a rush, breaking the frigid silence. Maxwell bit his tongue as Emily lay a hand on his forearm. Peace, Maxwell, the gesture said. Modest temper. Sit back and think!
His first thought was anger. How dare the Inquisitor worm her way into his daughter’s generous and kind heart, use her to draw him across the sea to pay court? A brilliant strategy, and the Inquisitor had a tactical mind. Their encounter in Skyhold’s courtyard had been brief. Proper, a Chantry leader greeting a noble and acting head of an influential family. Just another pawn in the Great Game- show that family ties are mended, gain a little more influence in the Free Marches as a result. Maxwell was entitled to his suspicions, to his anger.
But Emily’s hand on his forearm, the reminder to control the rage and see beyond the first glance, cooled his temper. For all the proper protocol and addresses, Maxwell felt the Inquisitor’s hand shake when he took it. Her voice was brassy and bold, nothing like the high, musical laughter he remembered, yet there was a hesitant tremble when she lowered her voice to speak with them privately. She looked... remarkably like their mother, save for the eyebrows and eyes. Their father’s features lay there, but somehow the thick brows that were forever unruly on Maxwell’s face was fierce and elegant on the Inquisitor’s. And then... then his sister carefully positioned herself (short, so short, their mother’s height, maybe a bit taller) between him and his daughter as they walked back into the fortress. A wall to keep him away. A shield to protect his child.
“Henrietta is a delightful breath of fresh air,” the Inquisitor wrote. “Her visit has been a most welcome one, no matter how unintentional it may have been. While I treasure the opportunity to know my niece, she must be grievously missed back in Ostwick. I am happy to provide an escort for her safe journey back to the house, or to host you in Skyhold. I await your response, good ser.
Warm Regards,
Inquisitor Evelyn Adelaide Trevelyan
Postscript- I bear the full blame for Henrietta’s misadventure. In my efforts to soothe your daughter’s worries over my own safety, I ended up minimizing the dangers of Skyhold and the wild. It was foolishness on my part, Ser, not your daughter’s. I will not ask you to forgive a woman grown who ought to have known better, but I beg you forgive your child who adores you.”
What was he supposed to do about a woman who so obviously loved his daughter, so much so that she would throw herself headlong into the path of his fury just to keep Henrietta safe? His sister. His sister!
“We will discuss punishments another time,” Maxwell said instead. His daughter was safe. For now that was what was most important. And the matter of his sister... his sister. Maker’s Breath, she had grown so much! She was nothing at all like the wild child who flung herself off a wall to tackle the older Vael boys who were picking on their littlest brother, screeching the family motto at the top of her little lungs. She was nothing like the ragamuffin who was dragged back to the house by an exasperated nanny, covered in mud and clutching weeds in her chubby fist. There was nothing familiar there, and yet... and yet...
“I’ve a mind to lock you up in a tower with a thousand sewing samplers myself, girl, but your father had the right of it,” Emily sighed. “Henrietta, darling, what were you thinking?”
“I didn’t mean to!” Henrietta burst out, face growing red to match her hair, and Maxwell’s heart clinched in his chest as fat tears rolled down his daughter’s round cheeks. “I- I wanted answers! That’s all I wanted! Of course I went to Aunt Evelyn! She listens! If it were up to you you’d lock me up and never listen to what I have to say while you keep everything a horrible secret!”
“Henrietta-“
“Dearest-“
“My darling niece,” his sister sighed as she finally appeared in the doorway, a tea tray clutched in her hands. Blunt, short nails, calloused fingers. Not an elegant lady’s hand at all. A little... a little like his. Practical. He watched as his sister crossed the room, set the tray down on the table before them, and sat to his daughter’s right.
“I’m afraid we’ve all had a part to play in this mess, though I will shoulder the blame for this misadventure,” the Inquisitor- no, his sister- said, composed. Maxwell noted that, even when her voice was firm and her face a mask of politeness, his sister’s hands trembled ever so slightly on her lap. As if she was aware of his eyes on her, she fussed over the tea set, rearranging the cups and saucers as she waited for the tea to steep. Nervous. She was nervous and trying to hide it, and that familiar twist of anger and pain stabbed him in the gut. His sister was nervous in front of him, afraid of his response and trying to hide it. Secrets again, more and more secrets creeping out of the shadows to strangle them all.
No more. “We all had our part to play,” Maxwell said, clearing his throat. “The only way we can resolve this is to lay our cards on the table. No more secrets... Evelyn.” His sister’s head whipped up, brown eyes wide with surprise- eyes so like his daughter’s. Eyes so like his own, and Maxwell saw both the little sister who was so small he was afraid to pick her up and the woman she grew into.
His sister. His sister! No more secrets. Even if he had to tear House Trevelyan down to its foundations, there would be no more secrets.

How to Avoid Common Mistakes when Buying Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Online?
Online shopping is a fantastic way to save time and get high-quality food. But it's easy to make mistakes that can hurt your health and money.
Avoid items with cuts, bruises, and mold when purchasing produce. Likewise, smell your food. A fruit that smells sweet and is ready to eat is a good sign.
Tumblr media
Buying more than you can eat.
The foundation of a healthy diet is a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables. But it can be hard to get enough without going over budget. The following are a couple of tips to assist you with getting it going.
Numerous stores and enormous box stores sell bundles of produce, for example, huge sacks of potatoes or onions or clamshells of salad greens. Purchase just what you want. You will avoid food spoilage and save money.
As well as abstaining from over-purchasing, make certain to look at costs when you shop and consider whether canned or frozen fruits and vegetables may be a superior choice for your requirements.
Look for options with low sodium or no added salt when comparing the sodium (salt) content of canned and fresh versions of the same fruit or vegetable. Reduce your salt intake and blood pressure with this assistance.
Buying Unripe Produce.
Most business ranches pick products off the soil a long time before they're ready. This permits them to be conveyed to stores at the pinnacle of newness. Sadly, this can also mean that the produce will spoil faster.
Many individuals wind up tossing out foods grown from the ground that they purchase yet never eat. This is regrettable because fruits and vegetables contain numerous beneficial nutrients.
The issue is that a lot of foods grown from the ground are a piece hard to tell when they're ready, particularly even if you're shopping on the web. Fortunately, there are a few ways to avoid purchasing unripe vegetables or fruits online.
Prepackaged options are preferable to loose produce. An organic product that has been prepackaged will in general bang around together more, which causes swelling. Moreover, a great deal of prepackaged organic products are made with plastic, which adds to the worldwide pandemic of single-use contamination. Instead, choose produce from open bins to get the best prices on a wide range of vegetables and fruits.
Buying Too Many Varieties.
When purchasing vegetables, it can be tempting to purchase a wide range of colors and sizes. However, this might not be a good idea at all. At the point when you purchase an excessive number of assortments, the product is bound to turn sour before it is eaten.
Additionally, it might not be as fresh as you would like. The most ideal way to keep away from this issue is to just purchase what you want. This is especially true when purchasing fruits and vegetables online, where the product is examined before delivery.
Finally, consistently purchase occasional products of the soil. They are normally riper, fresher, and tastier than unavailable organic products. Additionally, if they are grown locally, they were most likely harvested at their peak. This is in contrast to produce that is not in season, which is frequently shipped from a faraway location and harvested before it has a chance to ripen.
Purchasing Vegetables in Large Quantities.
While it's enticing to purchase a major box of vegetables on the web, this can be hazardous. Many individuals wind up squandering produce since they purchase excessively and don't eat everything before it ruins. Since you'll be paying for vegetables you don't need, this could also be a waste of money.
A vegetable or fruit is not ripe if it does not have an odor. This indicates that it was chosen before it was ready and may even have outlived its usefulness. This can prompt dull or upsetting-tasting foods grown from the ground.
Make sure to buy your produce from a store with a good reputation and a lot of experience to avoid these common mistakes. You can also try comparing prices and quality by going to your neighborhood farmer's market or supermarket. Continuously make sure to clean the vegetables before you eat them and check for any indications of harm. To save money, you can also take advantage of special deals and discounts offered by grocery website websites.

Boba Tea - Level up Your Tea Experience with TEAHEE
Boba is well-liked. These tapioca beads are manufactured with tapioca or cassava flour (so they are gluten-free), and they are then molded into little spheres, hence the name "Boba," which also alludes to the Boba Tea beverage. The size of the pearls that wind up in your beverage might vary, but they are often served with such a stick that has an aperture large enough to swallow them all. The beverage was created in Taiwan in the 1980s and finally arrived in the United States in the 1990s. From that point on, it has steadily gained in popularity as a treat.
Boba drinks' tea base
Typically black or green tea is used as the backbone for boba beverages, which can then be flavoured with a variety of syrups including peach, strawberry, and lychee. Additionally, milk may be added to teas to make milk teas, which are considerably creamier and more luxurious. Most Boba cafes now provide milk drinks and sorbet in addition to Boba Tea. Going out for a boba, which combines a drink and a snack, is half of the excitement since you can make it exactly how you like it.
How is it presented?
When you purchase a boba beverage, you may adjust the intensity, snow thickness, and the number of ingredients. Generally, the creation is sealed using a unique machine. Boba straws feature a pointed tip to puncture the closed top of your beverage and are bigger than standard straws to allow the bits of tapioca, fruit, or anything else you have in your tea. To lessen the necessity for single-use plastic boba straws, aluminium, and ceramic boba straws are now being sold. No matter what receptacle your beverage comes in, the munchies at boba businesses are always a close second. Typical Taiwanese treats served in boba cafes include tea omelets, seasoned fries, on rice, and salted hot Taiwanese popper chicken. With their larger dining areas and extended menus, boba restaurants can transform your visit from a quick snack break to a full dinner.
What does it cost?
Based on how you obtain your drink, Boba Tea usually cost a few dollars. Drink prices at some of the bigger, more well-known chains, such as Lollicup and Fast, tend to be more on the affordable side, ranging from $3 to $5, depending on the toppings you choose. The price of toppings varies from region to region, but still is normally an extra 50 cents for each top. Tea stores li, which place more of an emphasis on using raw food and organic choices, may charge somewhat more, but you're getting better tea.
Teahee SG is the first bubble tea studio in Singapore. With their extensive menu of beverage-making courses, which includes bubble tea workshops, cocktail and mocktail-making classes, and tea blending sessions, you'll be spoiled for choice. Three enthusiastic travelers who love to travel came up with the concept for Teahee SG by drawing inspiration from the many drinks consumed throughout the world and fusing flavour and aesthetics.

How To Know When Food Is No Longer Edible
Tumblr media
Food is an essential part of everyone’s day, providing the energy and motivation you need to achieve your daily goals. Different foods have different life spans, so ensuring that you’re food at its peak will keep you safe and provide you with the necessary nutrients. Certain factors—such as weather, means of preparation, and storage—influence how long a product can last before and after cooking. To know when food is no longer edible, you should always pay attention to a few specific characteristics.
Mold
This is one of the easiest ways to know if bacteria have infested your food. Mold varies in appearance: some mold may look like simple green spots, while another may appear as a furry gray mound. Mold will typically grow on the outer layer of a food item and then make its way to the center. The best way to deal with moldy food is to dispose of it in a plastic bag so that it won’t contaminate other products.
Unpleasant Smell
Spoiled food will emit a strange odor that will alert you to the fact that it’s no longer safe to eat. This odor comes from chemicals released by bacteria as the food decomposes. The smell is strong, so you’ll most likely notice immediately. If you notice an odor, identify and remove the rotting food item. If the odor persists, you can put a box of baking soda in your fridge, which will effectively trap and remove the smell.
Discoloration
Another characteristic that will let you know when a food is no longer edible is a change in color. When a product is fresh and consumable, the color will be vibrant, especially for fruits, vegetables, and meats. Discoloration occurs from bacteria and a lack of oxygen. Expired meats may appear gray or light brown, and expired produce may appear brown.
Expiration Dates
Finally, expiration dates are helpful sources for knowing if a specific food item is no longer viable, particularly when an item is packaged in a can or tray. And while how much attention you should pay to expiration dates varies depending on the foods, these dates can help you avoid eating spoiled products, especially when they come in packaging that’s not see-through.
