WHAT THE HECKKK???? LMAOOOO
I'm crying he looks SO defeated
Did he ever use it?? I rewatched the prologue, chapter 1, and his FTEs like 5 times I've never seen this before
But in any case this is hilarious
CAN THEY COOK?- project: eden's garden cooking headcanons
detailed explanation for each placement, starting from "let them cook" to "do not let them in a kitchen unsupervised." everything's below the cut:
-ingrid and eloise have big families and they have siblings, so it only makes sense they can cook well. desmond's mom and dad run a chain restaurant, so i feel like he'd be a good cook by proxy. -if there are people you trust to take you to a good restaurant, i feel like it'd be wenona, toshiko, and jean. partially vibes based but wenona would know when those ingredients are good and fresh, toshiko would appreciate expensive but also simple and affordable meals and jean has enough experience around his crew to understand how people's palates differ (as well as having tried a variety of dishes) -grace is an athlete. she will have her "cheat days" but other than that she is DEDICATED. veggies and grains before playing and protein after. i feel like she'd hate those weird health shakes though. she makes and breaks the rules as she wishes
-kai is the type of guy who strikes me as someone who is a good cook. there are a few dishes he can make off the top of his head and they're probably all specific internet dishes (i.e. pancakes, breakfast bowl, veggie pasta... myriad of drinks etc.) buttt i think if you asked him to just fry an egg he'd somehow burn it.
-damon's parents probably taught him how to cook as a life skill and also as #bondingtime. he'd probably know how to make some traditional japanese dishes but like i also feel like he gets a bit lazy with cooking sometimes (either because he's too locked in studying or he's just tired). so like, a bowl of cereal or a boiled egg and plain toast and a banana. i like to think kai and co. bring him to restaurants or cook with him so it's easier.
-diana, diana, diana. if you believe that she is italian then i do think she could cook some great italian food. but in all honesty i feel like half of her meals are things you don't have to cook (as in over a stove or in an oven). diana 100% is a baker though. she is the type of person to bring freshly baked brownies for the class. i headcanon she, ingrid, toshiko and eloise help her out.
-i am so hard pressed to believe these guys eat enough veggies.
-all busy + don't feel like cooking + it's faster to take out food. once in a while they will cook but it is rare. their food is edible to them and that's all that matters
-cassidy is a MENACE on the grill though (proof? that one eden's island promotional art). ask her to fucking grill anything and she will DELIVER. same goes with jett but i believe cassidy is the better grill dad here
-this is a joke but why can I see jett, cassidy and mark going to restaurants guy fieri style
-i feel like eva is the type of person to be like "i can cook" but she ABSOLUTELY cannot. you'll be in the kitchen with her and she would be too embarrassed to admit she can't despite the fact she is continuously failing. she gets the hang of it after a while -wolfgang doesn't know how to do his own laundry so i assume he can't cook (bc he spent all his time studying as a kid) -if you asked ulysses if he could cook he'd be like "sort of?" he can follow a recipe, but if something goes wrong he panics a bit. i think he forgets to feed himself sometimes -i think tozu would make a mean shepard's pie (pun not intended). i feel like he likes french food. while he jokes about british food he finds it very unexciting and bland. he is genuinely a good cook but would absolutely troll you by putting a "secret ingredient" in his food (i.e. putting pineapple in lasagna) unfortunately, this would be ineffective on someone like kai or eva who like "weirder" food combos
ok so i played the game, immediately blacked out after chapter 1, and woke up and this was on my screen
this was inspired by @fabesblueberries drawing of Desmond, Eloise and Wolfgang with animal traits (please go check it out the art is very good) and the au began from there.
originally it was an au where the cast slowly started to transform into animal hybrids, but after reading to cover one’s eyes by wei_wei_wei on ao3, the au changed directions.
now it’s an au where some members of the cast have a supernatural affinity.
Damon is a snake hybrid.
Wolfgang is a werewolf.
Jett is a were coyote.
Ulysses is a warlock who was forced to make a pact with a demon named Stolas.
Toshiko is a yokai who doesn’t have a mouth.
Kai got abducted by the Fae as a kid and that left him weird.
Jean’s descended from a dragon.
And Eva is an omen bringer/banshee. (Whenever something bad is about to happen, she gets the urge to scream).
The whole plot kinda revolves around this ring that Damon has that makes him look like a regular human. Turns out it actually belongs to Jean’s family and was forged by Ingrid’s ancestors centuries ago, and Jean is actually looking for it.
Stolas, Ulysses’s patron once wanted the ring to study it, so Jean’s dragon ancestor handed it off to the fae for safe keeping.
However, because of Kai, (timey-wimey shenanigans), it ended up in the hands of a garden snake who got transformed into a human man when wearing the ring. This guy is Damon’s father and Damon’s mom ended up killing him for lying to her and stealing the ring so her son would grow up as a normal human.
And yeah that’s the au so far.
