December posting meme - Dec. 5 and 7

[ehyde]

Dec. 5: @galadhir asked do you have a fandom type? (Like you always go for the noble characters, or the villains etc?)

...masterminds who seem cold and calculating but actually have deeply suppressed feelings about it, probably. Often villains but they don't have to be!

Dec. 7: @lingeringdust asked if I have a comfort food for when you're sick or feeling under the weather!

I don't know if this quite counts as a comfort food but when I was a kid my mom would always buy us the candy "hot tamales" (cinnamon gummies with a candy shell, kind of like jelly beans) when we had a cold, she said they helped sore throats, and you know what, I don't think she was wrong. I still buy a box for myself whenever I've got a sore throat. Honestly not sure why cinnamon isn't a more common cough drop flavor.

I'm posting this on December 9 and someone did ask me a question for the ninth, but it's one that's going to take a bit more thought, so I'll post these for now so I don't fall even further behind.

Yessssss, masterminds are the best!

Now I really want some hot tamales.

Oh wow I feel like all moms have some kind of "secret" illness remedy but I've definitely never heard of hot tamales as one! But it makes sense haha. The spice always felt so strong when I tried it as a kid.

Masterminds are always sooo much fun, especially if their plan unfurls and it shocks everyone.

You know cinnamon WOULD make a great cough drop flavor, much better than cherry
