W - A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom.
Hiii, I never knew someone would actually ask so, abit surprised but…let see!
A. I…ok this is actually a hard question 😔😔😔 but I am obsessed with Grace and Rocky rn, not as a romantic relationship but like a platonic relationship and it’s VERY important to me because I’m aroace and I LOVEEEE aroace done right-
W. Oh…Honestly this will sound harsh and weird but I hate
1. Abuse relationship (I will accept only if it for telling us about how bad and terrible it truely is, like in Silent hill 2 where you can see that James narrative about his wife sickness is untrustworthy and James never see himself as an abuse but the game tell us that he is, that he’s a terrible man and he trick the audience to think of him like a good guy)
An abusing relationship done wrong is terrible and disgusting. No, I will not forgive, I will not let go. Never blame the victim and NEVER trusted the abuse even if he try to be nice to you again after what he did.
2. Toxic relationship (This is just MY opinion but a toxic relationship done right is when both side hold a position and power in the relationship. If one of them simply harm and hurt the other one, it no different from an abusing relationship)
3. The stereotype. Yes…the man and weak woman type (that is VERY misogyny). Also including some of the isekai in both japan and korean story where the man have more power over the woman and yeh…you can see where I’m going…
By popular vote (maybe like 4 people) y'all shall receive the figaro soup fic born from me going crazy at midnight.

Figaro had been feeling a bit down lately. His back hurts. If only he could go to a sauna or something like that.
He goes through the motions of his daily life and stumbles upon Mitile, brewing something in a big pot as he usually does. Figaro feels jealous of the weeds Mitile is boiling. Figaro feels jealous of things no normal person really feels jealous of. If only he could take a nice warm bath in boiling hot toxic juice.
Mitile doesn't notice his teacher because he is focused on his work. How hardworking, his teacher thinks. He is proud.
Good morning, Figaro says. Mitile turns his head around to quickly return the greeting politely. Then he turns his gaze back to the bubbling smoking fluids. While still focused on his potion making, he asks Figaro, is something up?
No, everything's fine, Figaro lies. Mitile notices. Figaro notices that Mitile noticed and he hates it. You can't lie to children, Figaro thinks to himself. Yet at the same time Figaro feels like it's nice to be noticed and worried about.
Mitile is not a big scary monster from the depths of the northern wilderniss. Mitile is not the people at the Walpurgis festival. Mitile is not his scary twin masters. Mitile is Mitile, a harmless little bug compared to someone like Figaro. So maybe around him Figaro can be a little sillier than usual.
Figaro sighs pretty audibly.
"You know. Maybe I need some kinda break. Some relaxing activity."
Mitile turns his head around and frowns. No alcohol, Mitile warns.
Figaro breaks into a smile. "Nooo no. I don't feel like that actually."
Lucky for Figaro, he is a wizard. He can just miniaturize himself.
----------
Figaro asked Mitile to make him into soup. Mitile is kinda conflicted about this. He never cooked anyone into soup. But he does think it sounds like fun.
He borrowed ingredients from Nero's kitchen. He did not explain to Nero what he would be doing with those ingredients. Nero was never the type to ask and dig in anyways.
Mitile chooses the pots he knows he used for non-toxic potions. Figaro appreciates this although he would survive most of the poisons Mitile handles, trace amounts would mean nothing to him.
Mitile lays out the produce he got and asks which ones he would like to be cooked with. Figaro is fine with anything besides the onions. Mitile decides to add many aromatics to the pot to make this the best pot sauna experience he could provide.
Butter? Mitile asks.
Sure. Figaro replies.
The butter, or any kind of fat really, is essential for good soup. Soups with only water can only have water-soluble flavors, but adding butter also unlocks the fat soluble flavors as well. Not that Mitile is actually planning to eat any of this.
Mitile adds water, aromatics and butter to the pot that Mini-Figaro is sitting in and turns the fire on. He doesn't turn it high, but keeps it low, aiming to get the temperature to make the water slowly simmer. He doesn't want to actually boil his teacher.
He gets to cutting the vegetables. He diced the potatoes and got the peas out of the pod and cit the carrots. Looking over to Figaro, he seems very relaxed in the soup bath. The fresh rosemary and bay leaves add to the relaxing atmosphere. He'd hate to disturb him now. He takes his time cutting the carrots further into little decorative flowers.
Mitile might have gotten a little too carried away cutting the carrots. He ended up with quite the sizable batch of pretty carrot flowers. And he forgot about Figaro. Once there were no more carrots to cut he remembered to check up on his teacher. He turned to see Figaro sleeping, his arms resting on the rim of the pot. For a moment, Mitile panicked. What if he really did cook his teacher? Of course this makes no sense, Figaro would have turned to stone if that were the case. But that doesn't matter. Mitile exclaims loudly.
Figaro-sensei!
Tiny Figaro squeaks awake. Mitile apologizes for waking him up and asks if he is ok. Figaro nods. Mitile reminds him he is done with the carrots. Figaro thinks it would be a waste to have those go into the pot. Mitile should give those to Nero instead and have him figure out a proper use for them. Mitile agrees.
----------
Eventually Figaro needs to get out of the pot and get cleaned. Mitile scoops him out with a ladle and takes him directly to the sink. Figaro takes off his soggy coat and asks Mitile to wash it well for him. Mitile turns on the tap and takes a little bit of dishsoap to wash the coat, now the soze of a quarter of a tissue, really well while Figaro washes his hair under the running tap water. A few minutes later Figaro is clean but still soaking wet. Mitile puts him on a towel but he doesn't think it's enough. He needs a hairdryer but that it's in his room, not the lab.
With tiny Figaro wrapped up in a towel in his arm, he makes his way to his room. He unwraps Figaro on the table and begins drying him with the hairdryer. He thinks kt's funny Figark almost got knocked down by the wind from the hairdryer but he tries hard to suppress his laugh.
A few minutes later and Figaro is now dry too. Tiny Figaro stretches a little and yawns.
Are you gonna go back to normal? Mitile asks.
Do I really have to? Figaro asks back.
Mitile doesn't say anything. He just stares at Figaro until it's really awkward. Figaro transforms back to his normal size and thanks Mitile before heading to his own room to go sleep.
----------
Upon going back to the lab, Mitile finds a very foolish Mithra who thinks he will drink soup. Mitile tries to stop Mithra but to no avail. Why can't I drink this soup, Mithra asks very sadly. Mitile says it isn't soup and it shouldn't be eaten. Mithra doesn't believe him. It looks like soup, and smells like soup, says Mithra. Mitile really can't argue back on that. Mithra takes the pot by the handles on both sides and tilts it to drink from directly. Mitile cringes, thinking this is really unhygenic.
To Mitile's utter surpise, Mithra chokes. Mithra of the North with an iron stomach that handles everything choked after a gulp or two and went straight to the sink to wash his mouth. Mitile asks what could possibly be so wrong with it that even Mithra of all people reacts like this.
It's salty, Mithra states very simply. Disgustingly salty, he says.
...
Salty?!
Mitile is bewildered. He did not add any salt at all.
Are you making soup with ocean water? Mithra asks.Mitile doesn't even try to defend himself anymore and agrees on what Mithra says to make Mithra go away. Mithra calls him weird and leaves.
Mithra left the lab and Mitile is still frozen in place thinking about where salt could have come from. He is almost tempted to try the soup himself, gross as that is. But he holds himself back. Deep down though, he has always been a curious kid. But it's really too gross to try out himself. He leaves it an open mystery, thinking to himself that no way did Figaro make the soup taste like ocean water. Even though it's probably his fault.
-----------------------------------------------
Happy late birthday to Figaro! Every day I am haunted by the fact that in canon his magic tastes like salt. Why. How.
I have to say to myself that tumblr was one of the first app that help me get an actual internet friend and we are still bestie until now is such a lovely thing. It also where some of my oldest drawing lies, so if tumblr down, they’re down too…
A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.
B - A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.
C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will.
D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.
E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what?
F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom?
G - Have you ever had an OTP? If so, do you remember your first one? Who was in it?

I - Has Tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?
J - Name a fandom you didn’t think about until you saw it all over Tumblr. (You don’t have to care about it or follow it; it just has to be something that Tumblr made you aware of.)
K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?
L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves. (Characters you’re neutral about are fair game, as are characters you merely dislike. Characters that you absolutely loathe with the fire of ten thousand suns are exempt, as there is no point in giving yourself an aneurysm over a character that you hate.)
M - Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend.
N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).
O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?
P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).
Q - A fandom you’ve abandoned and why.
R - Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom?
S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)
T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?
U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.
V - Which character do you relate to most?
W - A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom.
X - A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom.
Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?
Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go! (Prompts optional but encouraged.)
Tsundere this, yandere that. I'm a wandere. You took your eyes off me for two seconds and I've already fucked off. Saw something cool glint on the other side of the continent and I'm on my way to check it out.
I think we should. use our mutuals inboxes like gacha games and roll to get rare OC pulls . and skins. I'm like "oh shittt the Easter Event is coming up, I need to pull for the new skins" so I go into someone's inbox and send them. I dunno. a picture of a quarter. and they respond with a drawing of a random OC of theirs in a bunny onesie
