Random König Headcanons
Hey y'all! This is my first post on here so I hope it's alright <3
These are all pretty SFW (for now >:)), so I don't think there's really any content warnings??? Idk let me know if I'm wrong.
Likes going to Build-a-Bear. Will definitely make your bear and his bear kiss.
This man can COOK. Oh, you want takeout? Nah. He's already pulling out the ingredients for your favorite dish. Buys the two of you matching aprons.
Talks to animals like they're babies. I also feel like the man just... attracts wild animals like birds and squirrels. Undercover Disney princess??? Perhaps.
Speaking of babies... the man is so good with kids. Laughs all giddily when toddlers climb him like a tree. Wants you to have his babies so bad
Actually has a decent singing voice. Get him drunk enough and he's doing karaoke like a pro. Oh, and if you agree to sing a duet with him??? He's GONE. Goes all out.
Likes to hold pinkies when walking around in public. He likes holding hands, too, but when he's feeling a little more anxious he'll intertwine your pinkies. PDA isn't his strong suit but he HAS to be touching you at all times, and it's like a pinky promise that he'll always be there with you :,)
Draws patterns/words on your back with his fingertips when y'all are laying in bed. Mainly a bunch of pet names, "I love you"s, and hearts. And cartoon penises
This big burly BEAST of a man loves being the little spoon, no matter how impractical it is. Honestly loves any cuddling position though.
Pouts when you're not giving him enough attention. His lips get SO puffy when he's jealous. Talking to one of his friends? He's grumbling German insults to them under his breath. Eventually he'll just scoot closer to you on the couch and rest his legs on top of your lap. BAM, now he's got your attention, even if it's just you telling him that he's crushing you. Big ol' lap dog.
Likes to do your hair!! He'll take pictures of what he's done and show them to you like a hairdresser :,) It could be the worst hairstyle you've ever seen but you're wearing it PROUDLY.
On the rare occasion that you two go out to a restaurant, he REFUSES to tell the waiter if his meal is wrong. Oh, it's shrimp and he's allergic to shellfish? He's telling the waiter he loves it and will just stare at the untouched plate sadly. Also will not let you trade plates with him because what if the waiter sees??? Tries to sink under the table when you finally cave and tell the waiter that the order is wrong. Glares at you the entire time he eats his new correct meal but is secretly so thankful. <3
Is absolute trash at video games. One of the best combat soldiers on the planet, but put a controller in his hands??? He's lucky if he gets three shots in.
Bought an engagement ring two weeks after you two started dating. I mean, he literally fell in love with you immediately upon seeing you for the first time, so are you really surprised??
Is a really good gift wrapper. His hands always start cramping around the holidays because he does most of the wrapping. His love language is 100% physical touch/gift giving btw.
Adding onto the singing thing... I just think he would be a really good musician, specifically a drummer.
NOSE NUZZLES. Like the Brendan Fraser type of kiss where you just rub noses after. He just gives off those romantic vibes <3
Unconventional kisses. Eyelids, the tip of your ear, everywhere you have moles, your calves, ankles... the man is obsessed with you, and he's kissing you wherever he can reach.
ADORES taking baths with you. Candles, rose petals, bath bombs: he does it all. Washes your hair for you. Lots of forehead and temple kisses.
I am unwell. I need him so bad.
Please feel free to reblog if you'd like!! I hope y'all enjoyed my little (very self-indulgent) rambles. :)))

Things to look for and why, regarding skincare (we're in different countries, so I don't know what brands are available to you. I'll focus on ingredients over brands as a result). It takes an average of 30 days for complete skin cell turnover, which means it can take that long to start seeing real results. Intro new product one at a time so you can better monitor for allergic/adverse reactions. And to avoid chemical burns. Really follow the directions when it comes to chemical exfoliants, here, because overdoing it can destroy your moisture barrier and make even lotion turn into a chemical burn sensation/reality
Chemical exfoliants are likely to be your best friend, here, as well as a "maintenance" ingredient.
You described your skin as having orange peel texture, which almost always means your skin type is oily. Niacinamide is going to be the key ingredient to help regulate how much oil you're putting out. The ordinary makes a good serum for that, and it's paired with a booster ingredient that helps it work better. Note, if your skin also feels tight (not tight because of a cystic zit) or is also flaky, you could be producing all that oil because your skin is dehydrated, in which case you want a really, really basic moisturizer too. Look for ceremides, because they will help to repair damage to your moisture barrier (if you've been using a LOT of different products it could be damaged, which leads to oil. You can usually tell, because everything will feel like your skin is on fire).
Acids! My beloved. They come in two categories, aha and BHA. Aha is water soluble and can not cut through heavy oil, and will not get as deep into pores when it's really oily, but they WILL support the BHA ingredients that are oil soluble. You are gonna want them both, because you need to cut through the oil and have something left to help out with the clogs. They will both make you more sensitive to UV, so grab an SPF that is basic as hell--i rec trying to avoid dimethicone when you're really oily, because it will generally make a mess of everything
You can safely do glycolic (aha) in really high concentrations up to three times a week. The ordinary has an amazing peel, nip + fab makes incredible pads.
Salicylic can't be had over the counter stronger than 2% in the states, but this is a powerhouse BHA. You want it.
You can usually find those two ingredients bundled together over here, and I rec that if you can find it because they will be formulated in complementary ratios.
If you can get your hands on raya, their aha/BHA cleansing gel + Bliss clear has a serum that is a toner with salicylic and niacinamide. Those two things together, consistently, completely transformed my skin. They're my ride or die when combined with the nip + fab.
The other ingredients to keep an eye out for in case of brand availability are enzymes. What enzymes do is break down the bonds in the oil and in your skin (not as scary as it sounds) so that the individual cells will turn over faster, shed faster, and not be able to stick around as long to get trapped into pores. Enzymes plus some aha/BHA can seriously push everything out of your pores. They are strong, and they can be found in the raya thing I mentioned.
I'm not sure how much character limit I have left. I'm more than happy to answer specific questions, and also help vet products via links/screen caps. r/skincareaddiction is another wonderful place to get in depth reviews, assuming reddit API fuckery hasn't hit them too bad. But I am not afraid to use my license/obsessive research skills, and I'm not afraid to pull out "fixed my face out of sheer spite" knowledge either, so if any of this is confusing or something you'd like more info on don't hesitate (and it could very well be confusing, I haven't had enough caffeine to self medicate the ADHD and it's past my bedtime. I've met myself at least once and know how I am). Either way I hope that this all helps on your quest
Damn, I'll have to go through with this a notebook and write everything down while re-reading. Thank you! I didn't even know asks have a character limit, but you sure used it well.
And yeah my skin type is oily as fuck. You could scrape it with a spoon and collect enough to boil it into soap.

Hey there, Mike! I saw your post about diet culture and I gotta say that you stated some pretty good points. Although, I was wondering if you can possibly give us an infodump on diet culture entirely with credible sources stating why foods aren’t bad for you? As well as as an faq of sorts for those who think that shaming or lecturing others for their eating habits will help them make healthier eating choices? And maybe include some resources as well for those looking for support as they’re trying to break off from diet culture? Maybe Dr. Feelings could chip in as well also? You don’t have to answer my question if you don’t want to. I’ll understand. I hope you have a good day/night!
Hello anon! ✨️
I'm happy you liked my small rant about diet culture. I didn't know anyone read that -
I don't know if you would call this an infodump since I'm not autistic, but I will do my best to give you all the insight I have! 🧡🤞🏾
Each source will be a hidden hyperlink marked with an emoji that resembles my favourite food because I say so! ✨️
1. Food is not bad (unless it's poisonous, molded or you're allergic to it!)
Food has no moral value. Food is neutral. It has nothing to do with being good or bad or more or less disciplined.
Food is fuel. We can agree that all food is fuel. Your body needs calories to function & so calories are not the enemy. Food also has nutrients your body needs & of course: different foods have different nutrients.
While there are no "bad" foods, it is true that certain foods don't provide much physiological benefit to the body as others. Some foods have ingredients that aren't nutritious for the body, like trans fats & artificial additives. But naturally, your body won't really 'like' them. They are hard to digest & they can cause trouble.
Balance is key!
[🍕] [🥞] [🍪]
2. Why you should not comment on the food choices of another person
... even though you mean well & care about them.
You aren't them.
Hihi, did you think there was more? I can name many other reasons, but they all are summoned up in these three errr four words: YOU ARE NOT THEM.
The ONLY case, in which you were allowed to say something about someone's eating habits, would be if you were their doctor. Which you are likely not.
To be fair, it's hard to watch someone struggle or make the 'unhealthy choice'. It's only natural that you want to help. But only if you really think it would benefit - most of the time, the person is aware of their problem. I think you have to consider the situation & the relationship status.
3. Breaking free from Diet Culture
This is a tough one & it's not easy. As Dr. Feelings, I can give you these tips, but the list is bottomless.
Think of your body as your friend (it is).
Do a lot of self-work: work on your selfworth, on your mindset, on your stress management & your emotional well-being. Consider going to therapy to heal your mind & to improve your mental health.
Define why you want to be free from it, what do you want to achieve? Ask yourself why diet culture has a hold on you & why you let it.
You might want to check out the hashtags #foodfreedom #ditchdietculture & #edrecovery out on social media. There can be a lot of positivity & help there too.
Keep your distance from ANYTHING that screams diet. Like, really. Not worth it. Be aware that gyms & diet companies get more prominent in spring, early summer & as the new year's eve approaches (for obvious reasons). Mostly, it's JUST marketing.
4. Resources for Recovery 🧡
I have found this nice website thay can give you some information on Eating Disorders & about Recovery:
& also this website:
I know you are all strong fighters & I'm very proud of you all! Keep going, you're amazing!
(Wow, that was a lot. I hope you got something from it at least, I'm not as brilliant as Donnie >/////<)
I love you all! 🧡✨️

Canine Cat-astrophe: Chapter 2
The smoke cleared to reveal two animals in Balan's and Lance's places. One was a fluffy dog that sported white and teal fur. It was, however, wearing an oh-so-familiar top hat on its head.
The other animal was a small cat that lay in a loaf position. The top half of its face was purple while the rest of its body was white. On its head and back were small, but familiar black tentacles. The same pointy elf-like ears that Lance had were on the feline.
Emma and Leo gazed at the two animals before they put two and two together and gasped. "Balan!? Lance!?" Emma cried. "But…how did this happen!?"
"The ingredient that I thought was salt must have done this," Leo guessed. "If only I had read the label, maybe this wouldn't have happened… I'm so sorry, Balan and Lance."
Balan just panted as he looked up at Leo before he decided to knock Leo down and attack him…with puppy kisses. "Gah!" The blonde-haired boy was surprised at Balan's response. Meanwhile, Emma just giggled before she felt something softly bat her leg. She looked down and saw Lance batting her leg while purring up a storm.
"Aww, hello." Emma smiled and gently pet Lance's back, earning more purrs from the elf-kitty. "You look so cute as a kitty. Though, you'll have to be turned back to your original self."
"Leo? Emma?" Mei's voice called out. "Have you guys seen Balan and Lance? Kaylo and the others haven't heard from them in a while. Are they okay?" She entered the dining room and stopped when she saw the dog and the cat. "Uh, where did those animals come from?"
"Don't freak out but, these animals are Balan and Lance." Emma sweatdropped, feeling Lance headbutt her cheek gently. His whiskers ticked Emma's skin, making her almost giggle. "They were turned into a dog and a cat."
"H-Huh!?" Mei was shook upon hearing the news. Balan and Lance were transformed into animals!? How did this happen!? Since they were in Wonderworld, odds are, something magic-related happened to them. But what? "This isn't good, especially since…Aria's highly allergic to dogs…"
"What do we do, Mei?" Leo asked. He still felt Balan's tongue brush up against him.
"Let's talk to the others first." Mei motioned for Leo and Emma to follow.
(At the Isle of Tims)
Kaylo, Aria, Rebecca, Trisha Jane, and the twelve Inhabitants gazed in shock at the dog and the cat that followed Leo and Emma to the place. Aria, however, couldn't stay shocked for long as her eyes began to water, her vision getting blurry.
"Oh no… My allergies are acting up…" Aria groaned, feeling the urge to sneeze. "H-Has anyone seen my purse? My allergy medicine is in there…"
"I didn't know that you were allergic to dogs," Iben said, handing Aria her purse.
"Highly allergic." Aria took some of the allergy medicine with water. "If a dog sheds fur, I have a sneezing fit. But if I'm unfortunate enough to get licked by one, that's when I get hives…"
Iben flinched, already imagining how painful it sounded.
"So how did Balan and Lance get turned into a dog and a cat?" Cal asked, tapping a finger to his chin.
"I accidentally added an ingredient inside the soup that Emma and I made for them," Leo confessed. "It looked exactly like salt, but after they took a bite out of it, I soon realized that it wasn't salt."
"Is the ingredient still in the kitchen?" Sana asked. She gently scratched Balan's ear, earning happy pants from him.
"It should be." Leo nodded. "I only remember putting it back on the shelf after I used it. I didn't take it with me. It was in a glass jar with a red lid."
"We have to find a way to bring Balan and Lance back to normal," Attilio said. "But we also have to make sure that they're watched so that way they won't wander off."
"I have an idea," Jose said. "We'll have to split into three groups. One group shall head to the library so we can look through the books and see what that ingredient was that they consumed. Another group will take care of Lance and the third group will take care of Balan."
"I love kitties!" Cass said. "So I'll watch Lance. And besides, I've been taking good care of Daisy. So I know what I'm doing."
"I'll stick with Cass in watching Lance," Aria said. "If I'm around Balan for too long, my allergies will act up again. I'm not allergic to cats, fortunately. Also, I'm a cat person too."
"Sana, want to watch Balan with me?" Eis asked.
"I'm in!" Sana said.
"So are we!" Kaylo and Trisha Jane said in unison.
Soon, the three groups were formed. Balan's group consisted of Jose, Fiona, Sana, Eis, Kaylo, Trisha Jane, and Leo.
Lance's group consisted of Emma, Yuri, Cass, Iben, Aria, Rebecca, and Bruce.
All the last group that would try to search for a way to bring Balan and Lance back to normal consisted of Mei, Haoyu, Cal, Attilio, and Lucy.
"Alright, darlings!" Lucy cried. "Let's get to work!"
Kaylo belongs to @kayssweetdreams
Mei belongs to @sundove88
Trisha Jane belongs to @lovelyteng
Rebecca belongs to @thehyperrequiem
Aria belongs to me.

There is a divide between them. It's always been there, as tangible as the tension between them in every interaction, and it is neither of their fault for its presence. It is their father's and their forefather's.
Ivy tried — and successfully — to breech that divide. It would take a lifetime to fully tear it down.
Yet, it's probably for the best that it stay there. Being romantically involved with his brother risks driving a wedge between them. It would hurt her, Elusia, Brodia, Diamant. She will not risk all she loves, nor will she hurt him, either of the brothers.
Alcryst's birthday is an optimal chance for her to begin to earn his favor. After asking Diamant if Alcryst was allergic to anything, she settled on the perfect gift... and though it required several ingredients not found in the monastery marketplace, Zelkov welcomed the request she gave him to acquire some.
Now, she catches him when he has a moment to himself. Cradled in her hands is a small, red velvet box. A breath, and she says, "Prince Alcryst, happy birthday," before handing him the gift. Inside is a small container of white lotion with a faint hint of earth and maplewood — she guessed he would appreciate a subtle earthy scent rather than something with citrus.
"...At first, I wasn't sure what to gift you. For your brother's birthday, I made a charm for his weapon. While I doubt having something dangling from your bow would impact your aiming or skills, I thought lotion would be better suited. An archer's hands are precious. I hope you find use for it."
And she smiles. She wants him to treasure himself the way he treasures his loved ones.
A birthday gift from the queen of Elusia was the last thing that Alcryst expected from today, and yet that's exactly what he gets.
Didn't you have something to say about princes and queens exchanging gifts? He wants so badly to tease her, to show that he can keep up with her sharp wit and tongue, but the fear of alienating her wins out.
"Ah, thank you! I'm touched that you'd even mark the occasion, Queen Ivy... you have a gracious heart." He's had enough experience with Citrinne's collection of perfume and skincare products to recognize a pot of lotion when he sees it. The scent is unlike any of hers, though: it smells of fall, freshly-cut maple trees bleeding sweet syrup. It's a wonderfully masculine scent—perfect for Alcryst, who's supposed to be coming of age. He opens his mouth to compliment it, only to allow Ivy to speak first.
...
.........
"...I think I've seen that charm, actually! I had no idea you made it." Because that's the sort of thing lovers give each other...!
Alcryst did not question that ruby pendant on his brother's sword the first time he saw it. A king's duty is to bring prosperity to his kingdom and ensure a bright future for his people. And, when a king has a duty to beget children, is it any surprise to see that Diamant is courting someone?
Their father never missed a chance to convey how dearly he loved their mother. A king needs a queen, Alcryst recalls his father saying. He doesn't remember King Morion saying anything about another country's queen!
"Your instincts were right. That pendant is one of a kind... to make another would cheapen the first, I think." Surely Ivy knows. Ivy is careful and clever, always two steps ahead of Alcryst. Sometimes even three! So surely Ivy knows. Right?? Oh... not even two Divine Ones can help him now. "And you're correct. An archer must take care of his hands... I tend to neglect them, but I'll be sure to use your gift every day!"

One thing I really hate about being autistic is how difficult it is to explain why I am so upset. Right now, I'm really stressed out about several different things and having a hard time finding the right words to express myself clearly, but that isn't the biggest barrier to other people understanding just what I'm so fucked up over this time; it's just that the latest problem sounds stupid and trivial to almost everyone else.
A lot of other autistic people talk about how difficult it is when their safe foods get discontinued or the recipe gets changed, and it's so relatable. It's really easy to understand why that's so upsetting. A hair product I've been using for about a year just got reformulated, and now it's evil trash that will dry out my hair so badly it'll look like a haystack. I don't know how to explain why this is upsetting.
It took me forever to find that conditioner because I'm allergic to a lot of really common ingredients, and am avoiding other really common ingredients because they're bad for my hair type (the explanation is long and boring, even to me), so it feels devastating that I have to find a conditioner I can use again, right after I spent a really long time trying to find something usable last year.
I had to look at a bunch of different conditioners online, read the ingredient lists, copy paste ingredient lists and check them on the Beautypedia Ingredient Checker page (I also had to check the same ingredient list for the same product on several different sites, because some sites leave ingredients off their ingredient list). It's exhausting just thinking about it, and it has to boring as fuck to read this. If anyone is actually reading this insane vent post, I'm sorry.
Anyway, I spent hours online doing all this last year, and spent hours online doing it again today, and now I want to scream.
I hate this so much, but I finally found three different conditioners that will work. Out of the several dozen, maybe the couple hundred, that I looked at today. Three. And all three are unappealing, and wrong in some crucial way. I just wish they hadn't changed the formula; that conditioner was familiar, it was somewhat affordable, and it smelled like vanilla. It was damned near perfect before they messed with it, and I don't really want to do anything different. Fuck the beauty industry forever.
I'm supposed to be doing actual work today, but instead I just spent the entire damn day looking up hair products, and I kind of hate myself right now. I just wish I could explain this to other people in a way that made any sense.

I cannot believe I have to become that pretentious person that’s like “actually I ordered the vegan chocolate chip cookies, and not the keto, can you send the right ones?” but you know here we are and here I am. 
I’m new to this dairy allergy thing

Slightly weird question time! I want to give some neighbors some cookies for the holidays, but idk what the best way to give them to them is. There’s gotta be a like...bulk buy online or like 99 cent store container or something that would be good for cookies without being expensive, right?  I’m also not sure how best to attach an ingredient list but I am DEFINITELY attaching an ingredient list to any and all food gifts I give people from here on out

So this might be a silly question and I'm sorry in advance. But, I heard reading nutrition labels is a sign of "disordered eating" because they force you to reevaluate your choices based on the calories/fat/etc (I'm paraphrasing). Is it bad to look at food labels to see other things? I try to make sure what I eat (packaged food wise) has at least a few grams of fiber because I have digestive problems and, well, metamucil is just really gross. I look at the sugar to see how much is added because I have a strong family history of diabetes (although, I feel like i read somewhere that sugar intake doesn't have anything to do with diabetes, but I could be wrong). And in the case of "fortified" food, like cereal, I look to see how much Vitamin D is in them because I need to get as much of that as possible. Would this still be viewed as "disordered eating"? I'm not reconsidering my choices based on calories, but on different nutritional parameters. Kind of like I have to read the ingredients to make sure there's no sesame because I am allergic (RIP sesame chicken, you will be missed).
Should I even bother, or should I select foods I want/like instead of basing my choice on other nutritional value? One example is applesauce. I buy a high-fiber strawberry applesauce that is OK (and more expensive) instead of the generic strawberry applesauce that is cheaper and tastier. Is looking at other nutritional facts aside from the "big ones" (fats/carbs/calories) still considered "disordered" because it still artificially separates foods into healthy/unhealthy categories based on some made-up parameters, or is it more just me looking out for specific dietary needs that I have trouble maintaining?
Personally I look for foods with iron! I'm anemic. This is a situation where nutrition labels can be really helpful for people who have special dietary needs and is 100% okay.
Calories don't help people make "good" decisions 99.9999% of the time (when you are feeding someone whose been starving you def want to count calories then, for instance which is why its not 100% of the time).
The information wasn't decided on by neutral thinking, calories being so dominant on labels shows that. But we as consumers can check how we use this info. Our reasons and motivations. You're doing fine!
I believe based on my mom and her diabetes/pre diabetes it's carbs she has to count. Sugar can certainly spike your blood sugar but the long term health seems to be carbs!
More info here: https://www.diabetes.org/healthy-living/recipes-nutrition/understanding-carbs
"There are three main types of carbohydrates in food—starches, sugar and fiber. As you’ll see on the nutrition labels for the food you buy, the term “total carbohydrate” refers to all three of these types." (But don't fear fiber is important, they acknowledge that.)
You said it runs in your family and the only advice I can give is to see what the latest research says. Family who get educated on something don't necessarily keep up with what's new and especially if they are going at it alone (they can't regularly see a doctor or afford blood testing machines/strips for example) they often find what works and that's it.
Diabetes doesn't run in my family btw that's just something I've noticed about a lot of people with chronic conditions.
Slight aside: if your gallbladder starts acting up get rid of it because it can mess up your pancreas and thats my current theory on why my mom is diabetic now. Her gallbladder caused pancreantitus twice. She couldn't afford to get her gallbladder removed the first time and it happened again. Very severly so.
Anyway back to the point at hand. I'm a follower of "food is medicine" thinking, well when the thinking is positive. (Apparently some people use that term in weird ways.)
If you've got a condition that isn't being blamed on weight/race/gender and is showing up on tests, you can definitely use those labels to make informed health choices. It's technically disordered but it's not in a way that follows a negative relationship with food/eating. In situations like yours it's part of a medical treatment and self care in the most literal sense. These are tools you can use.
You can have non beneficial food in moderation, of course. When you deny yourself everything tempting is when that slippery slope starts. If you'd rather have the cheaper taster applesauce then I'd personally try to add that fiber back in another meal. For people with medical needs it can feel like a fine line but it's really just trying to thrive.
Disclaimer here: part of bodily autonomy is that you can choose not to do anything at all, your body is yours alone. I know a friend of my mom who refused to amputate her leg and while my mom would want more time with her friend it's ultimately that friends choice to risk infections and a shorter life. No matter what you choose to do with an aspect of your health you deserve respect.
Sorry of this is a bit scattered but tldr you are doing great and you're coming from a place of trying to give your body what it needs not denying it things arbitrarily.

Happy Birthday
It was 3 am, and Purpled wasn't able to sleep.
He was quietly sitting in his room, petting DogChamp while he was sleeping. Purpled eyes couldn't stop staring at the date showing in his communicator, a strange feeling slowly consuming him.
7th of July.
Purpled's birthday.
He sighed, deciding to do the same he did every year: get a small cupcake, place a match on it, and eat in the early morning. It wasn't a big deal, really.
He left his little tent, heading over towards the restaurant in Las Nevadas. It wasn't open for the public yet, but it was the only place they could have access to a proper kitchen. Purpled opened the Staff Only door, hearing the strange banging of pans and someone whispering swears. Probably another resident trying to have a night snack, Purpled couldn't blame them at all. He stepped in and stopped right away.
Well, he didn't expect to see Fundy in an apron, mixing something in a bowl and an immense mess around him.
"Uh… what are you doing here?" Fundy asked, immediately noticing Purpled's presence.
"What are you baking?" Purpled asked back, not wanting to answer.
"I asked first." Fundy replied, crossing his arms.
Purples sighed, no patience for that at the moment. "I just came here to eat something. Now, you go."
Fundy's ears twitched a little before pressing against his head. "I'm… baking a cake." He muttered, going back to mixing the ingredients.
Purpled, for a split of second, got happy with the info, but quickly dismissed it. No way it could be for him, just one person knew his birthday and Fundy certainly wasn't him.
Purpled noticed orange and green food coloring placed on the table, curiosity now flooding in. "So, did you just get a craving for cake in the middle of the night?" he played as a joke, going back to his search for a single cupcake.
"Nah, man… it's my birthday." Fundy replied, still talking in a low voice.
"No way!" Purpled said before he couldn't contain himself, getting himself into a mess as soon as Fundy stared at him, confusion all over his body language.
"What do you mean by 'no way'? It's not like being born on July 7th was a crime."
Purpled pondered his answers.
He could lie, say he didn't expect it, or that Fundy shouldn't bake the cake for his own birthday, or any shitty lie like that.
"It's my birthday too." It's what came out.
Fundy's eyes widened, then a smile appeared, to Purpled's surprise.
"Dude, that's neat!" Fundy said, now moving towards the cabinets in search for something. "Your favorite color is purple, right?" He stopped for a while, and then went back for the search. "Oh Void, that was a stupid question."
Purpled was still in place, watching as the fox picked a purple food coloring and went back to the cake making, adding more ingredients. "I just need to make more batter so we can have more cake, but it will be fine."
"Wait, wait… what are you doing?" Purpled approached Fundy, watching as he divided the dough into three different recipients. "Our birthday cake." He replied, pouring each food coloring into a different bowl and starting to mix.
"So… the colors represent us?" Purpled asked, just so he could be on the same page.
"Yep."
"Orange is you, purple is me."
"Yep."
"So, who is the green one?"
Fundy went silent for a while, and then opened a sad smile.
"Back before the revolution, when it was just us in a van… we didn't have so much money for food." Purpled didn't get the connection, so he kept waiting. "So, there couldn't be two cakes at my and Tubbo's birthday."
Fundy put each batter into a different cooking pan, putting one into the oven.
"So, Wilbur would bake a single cake, two layers, one orange, the other green." Fundy smiled a little, nostalgic. "It became a tradition, even after L'Manberg came to be."
He decided to use the other ovens in the kitchen, placing the other cooking pans.
"Each year, we had our birthday together, no matter what. Even if we were angry at each other, or we had to hide from the big bad dictator. One time, I had to enter his presidential office to force him to take his head out of the papers."
Purpled just listened in silence, quite in awe. Fundy was really someone that had lived through a lot, and somehow, still held on to little comforting traditions. It must be nice, having something like that.
"But… since L'Manberg has been gone…" Fundy sighed. "I kinda haven't celebrated my birthday. I decided to try this year." He laughed quietly. "And hey! This time I have you! It's not so pathetic."
Purpled chuckled, nodding along. "Well, it's the first time I celebrate my birthday with another person. It's not pathetic."
Fundy beamed, still in a good mood, and took the cakes out of the ovens. He waited for a little while, staring at Purpled, who just stared back. "Don't you think you are going to just watch. Come here and help me."
Purpled shrugged, taking a place right beside Fundy. They stacked one cake over the other, and started to decorate.
Minutes later, they had a somewhat pretty cake.
"It works." Fundy says, after thinking a little.
"It's the first time I decorate a cake, so it's beautiful."
"Eehh… At least it will taste good. It has chocolate." Fundy pointed out.
"Aren't foxes allergic to chocolate?"
"Irrelevant ."
They finished the icing and contemplated their creation before Fundy grabbed the plate, leaving the kitchen and hoping that Purpled would follow him, which he quickly did, even if he didn’t know where.
“If I ask where are you going, will you asnwer me?”
“I mean, it’s not only our birthday, is it?” Fundy contemplated as they passed the toll booth, making Purpled think a little. Yeah, it wasn’t only their birthday.
“Hey, so… Can I call someone else?” Purpled asked, communicator in hand already.
Fundy didn’t even finish saying yes and Purpled was already typing someone’s name into his contact info, waiting for just a few seconds until the other person answered his call.
“Punz? I need you to come over. Now.”
Meanwhile, Fundy was standing in front of a wall of lava. The heat was almost uncomfortable and was definitely unwelcoming. But Fundy had to come back home before Yogurt woke up, so he had a schedule to fill.
“Yo, Tubster!”
No replies.
“Cut the scene, I know you are there!”
Still no replies.
“I can literally see your shiny armor on top of the outpost, you idiot!”
Seconds of no answer, and then the lava started to go down. And so there he was, Tubbo Underscore, with the entire glory of someone who hasn’t slept in the last 2 days. Fundy knew that look pretty well.
“Why do you have a cake?”
Not a hello or good night. But Fundy was used to that.
“Do you know what day it is today?”
“Uuuuh…… Juuuuuunee..?”
Fundy waited to see if Tubbo was joking, all that was left it was silence.
“Tubbo…. That’s a month.”
“But it's the right month.”
“No, it’s not.”
“Are you sure of that, boss man?”
Fundy just stared, kinda worried for Tubbo, cake still in hands. “Today is July 7th.”
“Hm…”
They just stood there, Fundy being able to see the cogs turning in Tubbo’s head. Finally, it clicked. “Oh fuck! Today is July 7th!”
“Yes it is!”
“It’s our birthday!”
“Yeah!!!”
“Holy shit… I haven’t celebrated it since…”
Tubbo shut, eyes unfocused. Since L’Manberg was done. Since last time, at a tiny office with the height of presidential work on his shoulders.
“I know, I haven’t either.”
They faced each other again, and it was different now. It was a look that only them could have, suffering all of that. The cramped days at the van, L’Manberg, Schlatt, New L’Manberg. They could say something about it, some apologies, some “I missed it”, but they weren’t like that.
“I have a couple of cookies and regen potions at the back. Want me to get a couple of them for us two?” Tubbo smiled a little, trying to get back to their old routine.
“It's us three. There’s another birthday boy outside.”
“Wait, who?”
Purpled conveniently walked towards Fundy’s side, giving Tubbo a little wave. “Make it four, actually.” He showed the communicator. “I called Punz, also a ‘birthday boy’” He made quote marks in the air.
“Why do so many of us have the same birthday?” Fundy asked to no one in particular. Tubbo just shrugged, but Purpled had something to say about it.
“I mean, it’s not my actual birthday. I have no idea of when my birthday would be in this world.” He casually said, antennas slightly glowing in the night. “So, I just decided to snatch Punz’”
“Dude, I wish it was this easy to change birthdays.” Tubbo said, thinking. I’d change to something like…”
“4/20.”
“Fundy, you’re a genius”
“I know.”
Purpled smiled a little listening to them talking. It was comfortable, somehow, being part of something like that, even for one night. “I should have gone for 10/10” He added to the talk, taking out some blocks and starting to build a little desk for them to place the cake, outside of both Las Nevadas and the Cookie Outpost. Tubbo laughed, thinking about other funny birthdays while automatically helping. Fundy placed the cake on top of the desk, just staring.
“Wait. We have orange, purple and green. What’s Punz’ color?”
Purpled thought about it, but Tubbo already had a solution “The icing is white. He is white. Solved.”
“I’m what?”
Punz appeared out of nowhere, probably from an enderpearl. “You’re white, like the icing.” Tubbo explained.
“Also, you’re a birthday boy.” Fundy helped.
“There’s four of us” Purpled finalized.
Punz just stared at all four, letting out a sigh and taking off his armour. "Really, Purpled? I thought you were in trouble.”
“I’m never in trouble, you should be smarter than this.”
“You just… decided to throw a party?”
Purpled shaked his head, pointing towards Fundy. “It was his idea.”
Punz looked at the other two, they were arguing over the number of candles. Fundy wanted to put only four, Tubbo wanted to put as many as it could fit. For a moment, Punz could see two different people there, fighting over stupid shit as a third one just stared, amused. It was so familiar, but so different. It hurt.
“But hey, you don’t have to stay if you doesn’t wa-”
“Get me a chair, it’s free food.”
Purpled smiled, a real one for once, and gave him a chair.
The four of them sat on the table, Fundy being the one to stood up after finally settling with a normal amount of candles on the cake.
“Ok, now we sing.”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“We ain’t singing, bossman”
“It’s sad if it's for ourselves.”
“It’s not??”
Purpled saw this banter would drag until sunrise, so he picked a bottle, catching everyone's attention.
“Lets keep it simple, boys. Happy Birthday to us.”
Punz gave him a small smile back, grabbing a potion for himself. “We made it through another year, what a win.”
Tubbo laughed to himself, joining the toast. “Still one life left, gotta keep like that until next year.”
Fundy was the last one, a grateful smile on his face. “Glad we have each other this time.”
“If the cake is good, I will come to next year’s party.”
“So it was nice meeting you, Punz.” Tubbo joked, making the rest of the table laugh a little.
And there they stayed until the sunrise slowly appeared in the distance, bathing them in a golden, lazy light.
“Damn, this was fun.”
“Not the best cake, but I’ll come back.”
“Fuck off.”
Tubbo was asleep on the table, finally able to relax. Fundy poked him, with no reaction.
“I can carry him inside, don’t worry.” Punz guaranteed, getting up.
“Thanks man, I have to go before my kid wakes up.” Fundy smiled, getting the empty cake plate.
“You have a kid?”
“Yeah, his name is Yogurt and that gremlin needs to be kept on a leash.” Purpled interrupted, earning a weak slap from Fundy. “Shut up, my kid is not a gremlin, he has just a lot of energy.”
Punz laughed, picking up Tubbo like a sack of potatoes, still with no response. “Thanks for the party, guys.”
Fundy smiled back, waving. “Happy birthday, Punz.”
“Happy birthday, boys.”
And they walked in opposite paths.

Q-Branch's Saturday night dish
aka. tofu & veggie noodles, because they make everything better, even nightshifts. (recipe under the cut)
Tumblr media
Ingredients are (as the name suggests) highly variable and partially not even strictly necessary but if you want a simple simple dish you can always eat microwave lasagna, so:
noodles (instant ramen? rice noodles? leftover spaghetti? anything goes)
veggies (I used aubergine, zucchini and pea pods because thats what I had on hand. usually at the very bottom of a fridge there are at least some carrots, even in q-branch)
tofu (self explanatory. also not technically required but. ya know. just do it. q-branch typically has some on hand because it keeps for forever)
furthermore:
soysauce
sesame oil (no, its not necessary. its only a teaspoon. I'm not saying you need to add it but you absolutely need to add it)
cooking oil or butter
chili (powder? chopped and dried? fresh? or *gasp* none at all? doesn't matter. of you're cooking for the rest of the team you might want to leave that to personal preference but ya know.((if you want to join team villains, just dumb a whole bunch and dont tell anyone))
lemon juice (again not necessary but you should still absolutely put it, trust me)
garlic
onions
cream/ coconut milk (as per preference. you can always leave it out completely but it helps if you prefer milder dishes)
peanuts (just. peanuts. they can be salted or plain or leftover from some trail mix. again: check with the rest of the shift if anyone is allergic. putting peanuts in food for someone with a nut allergy won't even land you in team villains, even we aren't that bad)
sugar (or honey, if your boss happens to be the extravagant kind and keeps honey for tea around)
water (you always need water. if not for the dish because your noodles are already cooked and your veggies dont need to be steamed, you could always drink some. also take your meds.)
Then you need some kitchen appliances:
a pan, coated of possible because yes
a cutting board for this veggies you are adding because scurvy is not something someone from the 21st century should die from. also for the tofu.
a knife (NOOO) or two knives. or three if youre feeling fancy. the more the merrier and so on
a pot or kettle if you need to cook your noodles and depending on which noodles you're using.
maybe a measuring spoon, but you know. the rules were made to be broken.
NOW. COOKING *cries in teenager*
(these steps read like a choose your own adventure novel except there are no numbers because no. just follow the instructions)
#1 NOODLES:
-> if you have leftover spaghetti: good for you. onto the veggies.
-> if you are using instant ramen: prepare them like usual, except you don't add the seasoning and chilipowder and plant oil and whatever else, to make the worlds most disappointing bowl of ramen.
-> if you are using any kind of asian noodles: usually you can cook them pretty easily by playing them in a bowl and pouring boiling water on top. just let them steep and you're fine. (if they need to cooked, as in "in a pot" cooked (like spaghetti) , do that instead. if you have a choice between spaghetti and any kind of ramen, choose the ramen though)
#2 VEGGIES:
(just. pick whichever veggies youre using, again: these can grow cold so you could use left overs. just. consider what spices are already on them)
-> carrots: cut into thin slices (like wheels but more angled for fanciness points), roast in cooking oil with a pinch of sugar
-> zucchini: cut into 3 mm or 1/8 inch wheels, place in a bowl, cover with boiling water and a pinch of salt, till you like the consistency (usually 7-10 minutes), then drain
-> aubergine: steam with water and a pinch of salt until done, add more water as necessary, place aside when done
-> peapods: roast with a bit of oil and a pinch of salt, place aside when done
-> broccoli or cauliflower: split the little tree thingies into quarters along the vertical axis, roast with a bit of oil and a pinch of salt, place aside when done
-> peas or corn: if they're fresh, add them to a pan with a spoon full of water and roast in a bit of oil and a pinch of slat and sugar when they're almost done
-> any canned veggies (peas, corn, bamboo sprout slices etc): drain and put aside, canned veggies are all cooked in the canning proccess
!!! IT DOESN'T MATTER OF YOU NOODLES/ VEGGIES COOL DOWN OR GO COLD ENTIRELY, SO JUST MAKE THEM WHENEVER YOU HAVE TIME!!!
#3 TOFU
-> cut your block of tofu into cubes (circa one inch or 1.3 cm), place the cubes on a paper towel to get rid of excess water. in a pan heat a tablespoon of oil, a pinch of sugar, a pinch of salt and some chili flakes. add the tofu when the oil is hot and fry till golden brown.
!!! IT DOESN'T MATTER OF YOU NOODLES/ VEGGIES COOL DOWN OR GO COLD ENTIRELY, SO JUST MAKE THEM WHENEVER YOU HAVE TIME!!!
to finish off:
slice up some onions and roast in a bit of oil and a pinch of sugar and salt.
add crushed and diced garlic
add crushed or diced peanuts
add all your veggies and stir
add your noodles and stir
add any amount of soy sauce depending on the amount of food you're making. keep in mind the amount of salt you added to the individual veggies. (safe amounts are anything form one to four table spoons of soy sauce)
add one teaspoon of sugar
stir.
when you think you're done, keep stirring for another ten seconds.
taste: does it need more salt? sugar? soy sauce? this recipe is too vague on everything else for me to give precise measurements for the sauce, so taste test!!!
if you added too much salt, added too much chili or like coconut milk: add coconut milk
stir again
place in a bowl
sprinkle as much chili as you like on top
add (depending on your portion size and preference) half to a full teaspoon of sesame oil by drizzling it on top
stir and enjoy
use your newfound energy to take over the British government from the inside. join team villains :)

i'm not the anon that asked, but since you touched on the kind of mermaid Daisy evolved from, would you still be up to talking about the species she comes from too?
Sure thing, I'm all for talking about anything related to Daisy anyday! Under a cut due to length of course sjidhuifk
- Something everyone of her species can relate to is being an UNGODLY alcohol heavyweight. They all HAVE to drink at least three full bottles of some real hard shit to get tipsy, it's VERY difficult for them to get drunk. There's next to no severe alcoholics among them due to this
- This is another holdover from being mermaids, but they usually have an allergic reaction to tuna if they eat it on its own, but for some reason can possibly have it if it's in small amounts as an ingredient in other foods without that happening. It may be due to the mercury in the tuna messing with them too much to eat it on its own
- It doesn't burn their eyes to have them open underwater, even in swimming pools, and they can see perfectly fine
- The vestigial webbing between their fingers is a little bit higher up than other humanoid species. If they were to compare their hands to a human's and they both spread their fingers, the difference would be noticeable
- Some of them still smell fishy if they exert a lot of effort and work up a sweat. Daisy's one of the more uncommon cases of being a sort of in-between of smelling fishy and like onions like other humanoid species do
- They have a more keen sense of spatial awareness than many other humanoid species. Daisy utilizes this extremely well when she uses her chain maces in combat
- Another common allergy Daisy's species has is a salmon allergy. A majority of the fish allergies they have are fish that come from our human world, and their bodies haven't adjusted to them. Luckily for Daisy, the only fish allergy she has is the tuna allergy
This is where I'll stop. Thanks for reading and sending the ask!

Session 1 of Camp
Tumblr media
Day 1:
I was under the impression we were starting Sunday, because we were told when we were hired that the sessions went sunday-monday-tuesday (break) thursday-friday-saturday. This week they pushed it back a day to avoid having camp on July 4th. Everyone was told this except me and my boyfriend, the new hires. Obviously it was sent out in an email before we were interviewed. And no one remembered to let us know.
the very first family who came in the mother waltzed up to me and went "I'm just going to let you know, it's going to be a lot easier for you if you just let people pick where they want to sleep," and started unpacking all her stuff in the one area that is overflow only.
A kid was stung by a hornet 3 minutes after arriving, and then I couldn't get the kids to stop running around right next to it. His father was allergic. Luckily the kid wasn't.
One guy came with his own son and another kid and told me "I'm just his ride" when I told him he couldn't leave the other child unattended just because he wasn't his. I gave him his two options for sleeping, (either all three of them in one of the rooms, or himself in one tent and the two boys in the other tent since they brought two) he never let me know which one he chose (or if he just blew the kid off completely) but the boy obviously slept somewhere because I saw him every day.
The same kid asked me for water but didn't have a water bottle, or a parent to buy him one from our store so I sent someone all the way to the dining hall for cups. It was 97 degrees out and this kids' parents didn't bother packing a water bottle. Luckily they were all the same cub scout pack and people were still taking care of him.
For dinner, we all have to put our scout uniforms on and wait for the flags to be ceremoniously taken down. This is at 5:40. At 5:38, 90% of my campers were not dressed. There was zero urgency. I've been told "Fort is always late" (I'm fort) but I didn't realize it was because 37 people move at a snail's pace and each person goes slower than the last.
Oh btw, each 'village' holds 40-42 people. I had 37. The other three had between 0 and 11.
Day 2:
actually went smoother than day one. We had village campfire, where you teach the kids some songs and skits and make them a village themed snack (our village is pioneer fort so the snack was hay stacks: melted chocolate, marshmallows, and dry udon noodles)
You can probably guess that you mix these three ingredients together and let the chocolate cool and harden. Right? That seems pretty obvious. When the instructions have no more instruction, you're done, right?
My assistant tried to bake it in the oven. I have to check off a fire hazard sheet every day, the only one I've found is her in the kitchen.
Then, for the actual camp fire, we didn't have a lighter.
Then, as village director, they kept expecting me to run the songs except
I have no idea how campfire is supposed to go as I have never worked here before
I know 5 camp songs, three of which were done the day before at the larger, camp-wide campfire.
they know this
I had like 3 other things to do at the exact same time.
One of the kids was allergic to everything so we had a replacement snack for him but the second I went to find his mom to ask her if Oreos were safe for him, he disappeared.
We do cheers at breakfast and dinner and whichever village has the best one gets in line for food first. One of the boys asked me why all our cheers were so girly even though we won twice. I dunno Patrick, have you considered that I am a girl and I make these up on the fly hours to minutes before I teach them to you?
Then at midnight the fucking door broke, trapping us in and all the campers out. They had to take the entire locking mechanism out at 12:30am. And I didn't get to sleep until 1:40 because I was dying inside.
Day 3:
75% of camp left before the first activity block. So the remaining parents wanted to combine two of the smaller groups so we had one group of 7 instead of two groups of 2 and 5. This would have been a great idea, except they told this to the director of Native, where the two kids in my group were sleeping, instead of the director of Fort, me, who was responsible for getting them from place to place.
So I spent the first 20 minutes of activities going "where are the Bears" on the radio with literally no response, because they were at the pool with Mountain and their radio was in the locker room, and the lifegards were just as confused as I was.
Hey boss, if you make a decision like this, tell EVERYONE and not just the group of 3 people who asked you if it could happen.
Then by the end of lunch, all but 5 campers had left, even though camp ends at 7pm. By dinner, there were 2. Literally 2 campers in a camp for almost 200 people.
So they got to do whatever the hell they wanted and it was great. We had a party in the trading Post because it has air conditioning.
Half the staff was hanging out with the two kids and the other half was getting started on cleaning villages. My assistant decided they were going to clean the whole thing, with half the amount of people than she should have had to help, got heat exhaustion, never radioed me to come help, and then got all passive aggressive about it when the kids left and we finished up cleaning (this is when we were actually supposed to be cleaning everything. It's not like I was blowing her off. She took the optional time to tidy up and turned it into mass-clean and then got mad at me for not helping when I didn't know it was happening.
I have two days off. I cried on the way home.
But I actually love it here.
