#ringo headcanons

Anon asked:

"Food for thought in Mizu headcannons; carbonated/fizzy drinks. Carbonated beverages didn’t exist until the 1700s. So everyone would be new to it if they had it in BES.

But let’s say they did, some would cope with their first sip better than others the same way we did as kids (I was fine my first try while my brother couldn’t stop shuddering at the feeling in his mouth), but I personally feel like Mizu would disintegrate on the spot.

I bet she would be fine after the first few times, but our favourite samurai probably has the palate of water and like you said, plain food. I think that if she didn’t crumple to dust, her brain would conclude it was a poison of some kind."

first and foremost, tysm for the ask 🫶 would love to hear more about any headcanons about BES characters' food preferences!

I absolutely agree! I personally dislike fizzy drinks. I hate the texture so much and if I did have them I would swirl it around until most, if not all, of the fizz has gone. I could imagine mizu doing the same bc the sting of soda actually hurts lmao. 100% she would think it's poison. she doesn't even drink sake/alcohol so that added carbonation would probably make her feel like she's dying.

akemi would love fizzy drinks. in a cocktail, in a mocktail, as a slushie, she'd love it. based on ep 7, she was kinda forced to expand her palate so any weird texture or flavour combination doesn't phase her at all.

taigen would also enjoy fizzy drinks and would probably be the first one to do the "sprite challenge". he'd also set the record of loudest burp to ever be recorded in Japan history.

ehehe i made myself laugh with this one

if anyone says “hey arsehole” both you and john will answer

george does it all the time and it cracks him up

people will give you shit for being the only girl but one hard glare will shut em up

and if not you’ll throw your jacket to ringo and give them a shiner with no hesitation

“damn, i didn’t know you could hit like that” “why, you into that sorta thing?”

when aren’t you and john pulling pranks on the other beatles?

john thinks it’s hilarious to pull silly, dirty tricks

exhibit a: replacing paul’s hair product with lube. paul almost runs john’s head through his guitar... “you’re fuckin lucky i love my bass more than you”

exhibit b: putting itching powder into george’s favorite leather jacket... except paul accidentally mistakes it as his and the rest is history

poor paul is the brunt of most of john’s havoc tbh

you’re more into the weird pranks. you’ll build them up slowly until a big, often satisfying reveal

example: sticking more and more coins to the bottom of ringo’s snare drum every day until one day you remove them all and he smacks himself right in the nose picking it up

it’s fucking hilarious but also ringo looks so sad and his nose is all red and you feel so bad that you immediately hug him and apologize

john walks in on you cooing and petting ringo’s face

“being nice to ritchie, eh? that’s the best prank yet”

good thing you and ringo have so many coins to throw at him

okay, but you thought these were bad? one time of john’s tricks goes wrong and gets you instead... and that starts an all-out war

no one is safe from your chaos. the band doesn’t have a productive practice for three weeks. one of ringo’s drumsticks gets stuck in the ceiling.

it isn’t until you and john accidentally knock over george’s cookies chasing each other around that it stops. the youngest beatle stands up quietly from his seat as everyone stares in horror at the bits of chocolate chip on the floor. no one speaks. he looks up from the scene and fixes you two with a glare so murderous that john clutches your arm. paul backs out of the room and ringo slides behind the drum set. 

then, george grins

ofc!! this is sweet

it’s hard being friends with people that are literally known across the whole world

just in general! they can’t do a single thing without being scrutinized and you can’t go out to lunch with ringo without having three tabloids speculate about ‘RINGO STARR’S NEW FLING?’

so yeah, not being model thin is something journalists would dig into because people fucking suck, fuck body shaming and double standards and patriarchal ideals that not only dictate our lives but feed into capitalist bullshit at the hands of old white men

sorry i got a little carried away

once a reporter made a comment about you at a press conference and they all ripped him to shreds

“what kind of piss poor reporting is that?” “sorry, i just meant-” “well it doesn’t matter what you meant, does it? you fuckin said it” “but don’t you-” “i think that’s enough” “yeah, does anyone have questions that aren’t bullshit?”

eppy had an aneurysm backstage and boy did he chew them out afterward. but they refuse to apologize and would do it again for you “in a heartbeat,” paul says sincerely, and you almost cry at how much you love them all

also they won’t hesitate to catcall you ( in a respectful way obvs ) and make you blush, especially when you doll up

ringo likes cuddling with you because you’re “soft, unlike george who’s made of rocks” “hey! i heard that”
