Iron Eclipse Marco Moodboard

I made a little playlist for the Iron Eclipse AU. I whipped it up fairly quickly, so don't expect it to be perfect. I often struggle with this sort of thing, but I wanted to give it a shot. I'll consider this to be an experiment of sorts. Selecting the right songs that might fit the vibes of Iron Eclipse was a challenge... I wasn't fully thinking about the themes of my AU for this one...

The cover art is a sketch of IE Marco by @kemasansachet! Please go check him out because his art is phenomenal! He's also a really nice and chill person!

How good is the Iron Eclipse cast at cooking?

I got inspired by a friend asking me how good OG Tarma might be at cooking. I only left out the non-human characters because they don't need sustenance to survive and/or have zero culinary skills.

Marco: Although he's a capable cook, his go-to options often involve ordering takeout, barbecuing or enjoying meals prepared by his friends.

Tarma: He's a skilled cook who specialises in traditional Japanese and Mexican cuisine, cooking only when the mood strikes, but he's always happy to assist others in the kitchen.

Eri: She's better at cooking traditional Japanese dishes, but has a tendency to burn them.

Fio: She's incredibly talented at baking and whipping up tasty lunches!

Trevor: He's okay at cooking, but gets somewhat sloppy when under the influence.

Nadia: She's a skilled cook and baker, but often lacks the motivation to do so.

Ralf: He's a good cook, but his tendency to be a bit careless in the kitchen means he frequently gets help from others.

Clark: He can cook and grill, but typically opts for his friends' homemade meals or healthier takeout.

Tequila: He's not the greatest cook, but grilling is where he truly shines!

Gimlet: His culinary skills are lacking, so expect him to opt for takeout instead.

Red Eye: Her cooking skills are average (as Ruoxi), she's amazing at making Chinese food (as Shufen), and she either makes traditional Dutch dishes or dines at high-end restaurants (as Liddy).

General Morden: He excels at cooking North American, European, and Middle Eastern cuisine!

Allen O'Neil: He's more skilled at preparing ingredients, such as chopping food and seasoning, than actual cooking.

Doctor Amadeus: She's great at crafting traditional Western European breakfast and lunch dishes, but when it comes to dinner and dessert, she prefers the convenience of takeout.

Ptolemaios: He prefers that his meals are prepared by his most loyal and trusted followers.

Walter: He's alright at grilling and cooking Mama's classic recipes, and enjoys helping others with meal prep.

Tyra: She's good at cooking simple Arabic and North American meals, and her favourite way to cook is with others.

Hyakutaro: He mostly relies on takeout and meals prepared by his friends, but occasionally cooks decent meals for himself, particularly when he's alone.

Allen Jr.: He's better at cooking and preventing food from burning than at meal prep.

Rumi: She struggles with cooking, often resulting in burnt or unappetizingly sloppy dishes.

Madoka: Her cooking skills surpass those of her younger sister, but occasionally her dishes can appear hastily prepared and lacking refinement.

Sophia: She's an exceptional cook, particularly when it comes to seafood.

Margaret: She's great at whipping up simple meals with fresh herbs from her greenhouse.

President Marx: He's capable in the kitchen, but tends to leave the prep work to his two bodyguards.

Sagan: She struggles with cooking traditional meals, but excels at crafting delicious desserts.

Logan: He's most skilled at preparing meals that are easy to make and require little prep work.

Torquil: He's a surprisingly talented chef, but he prefers cooking dinner.

Guilherme: He's a skilled self-taught cook who draws inspiration from his aunt's and great-grandmother's homemade recipes.

Ferdinand: He excels at meat preparation, specifically cutting and seasoning, but his overall cooking skills are mediocre, so he often relies on Guilherme's expertise.

Fuck-

I know this isn't a traditional Metal Slug post, but...

My birthday is in 6 days. I dunno how to feel about it. I hate how time flies by so quickly. It's honestly kinda scary... Whelp, it's gonna be another day of my life and another year of growing up. I gotta get my butt in gear for the future and remain optimistic somehow.
