little baby on the bus with a big book of Pokémon, probably just starting to learn how to read, sounded out “scorbunny” and “raboot” and then asked their parent “what’s this one?”, parent said “Let me see….Cinderace” and handed the book back, and the baby said thoughtfully “cinderace. Cinderace. Interesting.”

Can I offer you a gummy worm Tangela in these trying times?

[lovingdabeessss]

you know what i can see hapenning ? blake having to be restrained or restraining herself to not main tai the first time yang brings her over as her official girlfriend.

he would try to win her over with his typical 'xiao-long' charm meaning cracking jokes and being self-depracating but somehow , just because at this point it's just a reflex for him, the butt of the jokes would always be yang.

`i was never a very present dad for my girls . actually, i always thoiught i'd have to shoot the first person yang brought over. never been so glad to be wrong.`

`oh i can see who`s the brains of this relationship `

`dating you is the best thing yang has ever done, ever, by faaaar`

`thanks for the help! i didn't know you she had it in her to pull somone as gracious as you'

' oh i just know we'll have a lot to talk about this firecracker of mine, be careful with her around your stuff one time she -inserts childhood story about yang having an accident with her semblance that yang is too ashamed to share.`

This is actually really interesting because to ME

THIS IS ABOUT TO BE A SUPER SPECIFIC TO ME READING AND UNDERSTANDING OF YANGS CHARACTERS IM SORRY DISCLAIMER OVER

I think that even before Blake meets tai or even qrow that Blake is not a fan of the way she knows yang has been treated by her family

And I also believe it is an INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TOPIC TO BRING UP WITH YANG

yang is incredibly defensive about her family she is very protective of them including her dad she LOVES her family it’s her thing

She definitely knows her childhood wasn’t the normal one but to go the step further into calling it neglect or abuse is a step I think she really can’t take

It’d be admitting that not only should someone else been taking care of Ruby!!! Like that she wasn’t good enough to do it herself but ALSO someone should’ve been taking care of HER!!! Like that she needed someone to take care of her. Which I think would be to big of pills for her to swallow

The way she talks about it is “I had to take care of a toddler alone and deal with my broken family” not “I was a child who was neglected and I had to take care of another, smaller child, my family put me in this position” she talks about it like something that happened not something that was done to her

She talks incredibly sympathetically about her dad when she explains it to Blake she talks about how much he lost and how much it messed him up and that just as a result she had to step up she doesn’t blame him at all

She does know he’s not perfect but talking about that is different

And also the strq family as a whole isn’t super into “change” and “improvement” and “realizing they have issues and then dealing with them”

The strq family is loving, and I mean SO loving they LOVE each other but soooooooo dysfunctional and even if Raven never left and summer never died it’d STILL be dysfunctional, less so but still

Yang doesn’t ask for or need change from her family or loved one she’s actually pretty consistent about loving people specifically at their worst and including their worst traits this is especially evident even about Blake herself when you listen to all that matters and also how yang loves Raven and qrow that’s just how she is

She’ll still love them with them kind of sucking and treating her not the best she’s an incredibly forgiving character by nature

She went from having to view her dad when she was really really little in this comatose like depression state, shackled by his grief, to this version of her dad, still clearly affected and clearly refusing to deal with any emotions, but he’s THERE and up and happy and interacting with them it’s so much better

yeah the strq family is real dysfunctional now but Yang and Ruby grew up in a situation that was SO MUCH WORSE so I think to a point they’re like “yeah this is just how it is”

But Blake!!! Grew up with a family that was SO functional and so good and so loving in a way that was kind and open and good and then she recently went back to that so she can recognize that yangs family is fucked SO easily

So yeah!!! I do think she’d have to work INCREDIBLY HARD to restrain herself when it comes to wanting to point out how bad yang was treated because yang would need to be brought into that realization slowly and gently!!! And Blake might struggle with doing that instead of immediately jumping to her defense or trying to help her or whatever

Like yang would never get mad at Blake for it but she clearly wouldn’t be excited or super open to talking about it at first it’s not something she would enjoy

ALSO I’m personally of the belief that yang would NEVER introduce Blake to her family as her girlfriend like she’d never have a meet the parents thing, it’d never even cross her mind, they have to figure it out organically or find out the day of the wedding

Same as how i believe she never came out to any of them if coming out is even a thing In remnant

Except for maybe Ruby maybe when they were teenagers yang slipped it into a conversation like “hey we are not homophobic, you cant be homophobic, we’ve literally never spoken about it so I gotta check” even though alt autism emo teen ruby was definitely only handing out with gay kids in middle school it’s still something you gotta check as an older sibling especially one that’s raising your younger sibling

Blake is DEFINITELY a meet the parents kinda person she’d want to introduce yang as her girlfriend to her parents at some point and I think it’d throw yang slightly off guard

Anyway I LOVE the strq family and tai says some CRAZY messed up stuff to yang sometimes and then also nothing ever to Ruby but I still love him!!! Even if he’s SUCH a fucked up father

Also yeah if they did meet and this did happen those are some jokes he’d probably make at yangs expense to be friendly to Blake and yang would probably laugh a bit and Blake would not like it one bit

Random notes

- Ruby would have an easier time hearing and acknowledging and talking about the issues with her family as the youngest and also because of her different coping techniques and traumas

- Weiss would have an easier time talking shit about yangs family to yang because 1 that’s their kind of relationship 2 the kidnapped by her mom incident (she’s got experience with the family) 3 Weiss’s family situation was actually pretty similar and 4 I think yang sees her as a part of the strq family so she can talk more shit

- it’s HILARIOUS to think Blake had a problem with Qrow basically the entirety of their time traveling together with the way he was an unfit guardian and how Ruby and yang acted like it was average Qrow behavior but because she started v6 already trying to earn the trust of the group she felt she couldn’t say anything and then never really got the chance to bring it up (DOUBLE fun if qrow also doesn’t like Blake as a romantic option for yang cause of the leaving thing but would never outright say it because that’d be open communications of emotions)

ANYWAY SORRY FOR THE CRAZY RAMBLE THANKS FOR THE ASK THOUGHT THIS WAS INTERESTING

[owlelight]

i love the detail of zubats ears resembling eyes. Its so clever and subtle

[starridge]

every time i see those posts like ‘what food from a show did YOU always wanna try’ i go lol none? but i just remembered im a liar

i always wanted the fucking soup brock made in the pokemon anime

[chingaderita]

Hello OP, i don’t have anyway to prove this is the same recipe they make in the shows but i make this to calm my inner kid from wanting the fictional soup:

300gr bacon, beef or chicken. A meat of your choice. These go specially well. I prefer chicken tights. Diced

1 medium onion, diced.

Garlic minced (i used 2-4 pieces depending on size)

300gr carrot, cleaned, peeled and diced.

3 sticks of celery, washed and diced.

800gr potato. Washed, peeled diced in quarters.

1 head of broccoli.

8 cups of stock of your preference. I recommend using the bones of the beef or chicken, but veggies stock works too for a vegetarian or vegan version.

3 tablespoons all purpose flour.

1 cup whole milk. (Almond or rice milk work fine for a vegan option)

½ cup heavy cream. (Skip it for a vegan option)

Salt and black pepper to taste.

½ teaspoon paprika, use the spicy one to get the warmth up a notch in winter.

1 tablespoon fresh chopped coriander. Optional.

1 cup diced gouda or manchego cheese. Optional but really ties all together.

Make sure you have all your ingredients ready and at hand for this one to make sure it comes out nice and tasty!!!

In a pot put water and the bones to prepare your stock (chicken, beef, veggie) You can use premade or bouillon cubes, just make sure its 8 cups worth of broth. In a different pot boil the potatoes until soft.

In a big pot put some butter or olive oil to fry the onion, when it turns a little transparent add the garlic, move constantly.

Add the celery and diced carrots, moving constantly.

The carrot will get a little brighter in color, add the diced meat. Salt and pepper to your taste.

Meanwhile, blend the potatoes with enough stock so your blender wont have trouble blending. If you have a food processor, it’ll be easier.

Ad the remaining stock to you big pot with the veggies and meat, add the broccoli chopped in bite size pieces. Add the paprika and taste for salt and pepper. Let over a medium fire for 10 min.

Separate 3 tbsp of the stock to mix with the flour, set aside. This will be a thickening agent.

Pour the potato mix on the big pot, move to integrate and taste for salt and pepper.

Add the milk and heavy cream. Move with a laddle. Have a final taste and let over low fire for 5 min.

Serve hot and decorate with a pinch of coriander and some cubes of cheese.

ENJOY!

Notes:

I personally prefer to use chicken, love how it goes with potatoes and veggies. Also the tight is very tender and flavorful. With beef you have to be careful not to overcook it or it’ll get gummy and hard to bite, so make adjustments.

VEGAN: could also skip the meat, cheese and heavy cream for a vegan option.

I make it for my younger sister and she loves it. Instead of meat i add some diced, toasted nuts when served. Cashew, pecan and pistachios work nicely.

You’ll have to use 5 tbsp of flour to thicken up the broth a tid bit more without the heavy cream but you can still use a vegan milk.

You can totally skip the coriander, but it adds another dept of flavor.

Do try it with the cheese tho, i promise it’s GODLY. Gouda and manchego are my fave, the melt nicely and have a strong after taste, but i guess any cheese that melts could work.

Finally, if you are like me and like spicy food you can add chopped chili. Serrano and arbol chiles are my go to’s, freshly chopped sprinkled just after serving my bowl.

Hope y'all give it a try and if you have any doubts do ask!

Provecho!

[starridge]

this is literally the best addition i’ve ever gotten to any of my posts thank you so much

[kathaflatta]

Hey I tried this recipe out and I can confirm that it tastes heavenly!!

[certi-shenanigans]

Can confirm this soup is absolutely divine!

Substituted spinach for broccoli because my partner is not a fan of the latter and used chicken and bacon. Gonna try it again with a nice Italian sausage in place of the chicken next time.
