It's odd; whenever I see the number of days left, I'm not like... hopeless. It's still well within the thousands, we're not even done with one year of this shit, and yet every day I see this counter go down... it's like another drop of hope gets added to the bucket. One less day to worry about.

We can do this. I'm holding everyone's hands until then.

Time marches on, and they’re always running out. They can’t put days back and eventually, our count will hit zero.

In 1,266 days.

" woah, woah, woah... try chopping like this. yeah, that's it. you won't chop off your hand this way. " from david to skaar, trying to make sure he doesn't end up with the cooking curse hulk has fjkfdjkfd

@mistyflame1

Hm...Skaar carefully copied his dad, green on black eyes flicking between their hands to make sure that he was doing it right before Skaar perked up, "Its easier!"

He didn't know why that came as a surprise. Unlike his universe's Hulk, David was good at cooking, something that had taken a few weeks to get used to when they all met. And from the lessons that Dad had been giving him, Skaar was finding that he rather liked cooking too!

It was a little like sword training, finding and learning all the right steps until the hybrid found was a meal prepared, something tasty and rewarding for the work he put in. It was a lot like sword fighting they'd found.

Just a shame that such a thing couldn't be said for everybody.

Next to the duo, Hiro raised their good brow and smirked, "I don't know, I feel like that would make us match better at least." Their own dish was....well, it was something. One portion of the meat was practically pitch black, chocolate sauce drizzled over some fried fish. After all, instructions only seemed to be suggestions and Hiro preferred to do this cooking stuff their way!

Hulk, lets see that fat ass, c'mon do a lil twirl ya big green hunk!

Gaaaaah!!

Face dark purple, Hulk narrowed his eyes and pointed, now hidden behind a chair.

"Just for that? I'm gonna dress like a nun. Perv."

Why did everyone wanna see his butt!?

tell us about Shadow dietary needs and food customs. what are common sources of crops and livestock (if applicable)? are there any specific ways they prepare food? does this differ by geographic location and class? what are some common dishes that most people have had and/or know how to make?

Food

© Shadows are nomadic hunter-gatherers, meaning they have no crops or livestock. 

© They eat many different animals and plants, but the main staples are trizelle and tubers. [Making them quite literally a meat-and-potatoes culture]

(M) Saltgrass is a common seasoning throughout Sakaar, including with the tribes. Various nuts and berries are also used to add extra flavor, as is leftover grease from roasting meat. Roasted insects are also a common snack, although unlike Imperials, Shadows refuse to consume Native eggs, or any other Native flesh, because they consider this to be a form of cannibalism. (Natives, Shadows, and Imperials are in no way the same species, and do not even originate in the same solar systems, meaning it is not technically cannibalism, but Shadows view the consumption of any sentient species to be so.)

As nomads, Shadows don’t carry a lot of cookware around. Spit roasting, stone-frying, and earth ovens are common (meat and flatbreads), as are ash-baking (bread) and stone boiling (soups and stews). Certain areas of the Steppes that contain hot springs are also used to bake sweet, cake-like Fillian bread.

Fillian bread is made with tuber-flour, honey, and berries. It is baked in stone pots, which are stored in the area.

Leftover raw meat is often taken and buried in salt caves to dry into a jerky-like product. Alcohols are also aged in this manner. The few Imperials to have tasted Shadow liquors have complained of the salty taste.

Food Culture

Food is communal, both within individual tribes and the tribes as a whole. Shadows traditionally have no cultural concept of gender, or gender roles, so any and all members might hunt, cook, forge, or fight. Food is also not owned by individuals or families. Various people, often the best cooks or whoever enjoys cooking the most, will prepare the food brought in by hunters and gatherers, and everyone in the tribe eats. Food is also shared between tribes, such as jerky. It’s common for many tribes to use the same salt caves, and to eat whatever happens to be fully dried when the tribe arrives, meaning the food is constantly rotated.

your ideas about bruce and hulk getting separated are interesting, tell me more :3

I have a lot of ideas about that.

They are scarily like a divorced couple and Tony is the kid trying to mediate. Hulk is both surprisingly reasonable in a very immature, petty way. He insults Bruce a lot and laughs at him and enjoys being able to be and not smash a lot. 

And something he smashes Bruce things for no reason.

Bruce doesn’t dare call Hulk a monster anymore, even when Hulk can’t hear, but he is still a picture of frustration and looking green (even if it’s void now) and he is a picture of Not Dealing and whenever Tony asks him why can’t he just give Hulk a chance his answer is “Because!” with a growl to which Tony just tries not to laugh too hard.

It involves a lot of glaring on Bruce’s side and a lot of apologetic kisses on Tony’s side.

Meanwhile, Tony is obviously delighted with Hulk and Hulk, to everyone’s apprehension, befriends Clint and now they are being absolute little (and big) shits together. 

Also, everyone is slightly Shook at the change the separation brings out in Bruce. He seems a completely different person now and only Tony seems to recognize this is the True Bruce. He has learned a lot thanks to Hulk but there was still this constant control and anxiety underneath and now he’s just out of fucks to give cause there’s no risk and he’s like...

You know the “I could choke the life out of you and not change a shade?” - that’s it, with a hint of the Hellicarrier sass. Tony is loving it.

Trying anything is where I'm at! Thank you kindly.

TLDR, my mom got arrested, I've been evicted, and while my dad is helping me as best he can it's gonna be *really really* tight and any extra money right now would help immensely!

Thank you everyone who even just looks at the post and thank you blog owner for letting me send this.

Of course.

I looked through this person’s blog, they seem legit (thanks Gaza spam bots for that paranoia), so go ahead.

Hi, I was wondering if you accept people sending donation posts? I'm in a bind and could use some help :(

You can try but remember this is Tumblr- everyone’s situation is just as fucky as yours. Getting more people to look at your post doesn’t necessarily mean someone can help. But you can surely try.

I remember a post a while ago about donation posts on reddit? A reddit page for people looking for donations? Chat, any of that ringing a bell for you?
