"Now finish that. I didn’t slave over a hot stove for you to leave half of it sittin’ there like some ungrateful little shit."

Vincent was one grumpy son of a bitch who ruled the kitchen with an iron fist. But he was never cruel.

He yelled, sure. Mostly about wasted ingredients, sloppy knife work, or people breathing too loudly near his rising dough. But nobody ever went hungry under his watch. If someone hesitated near the kitchen door at mealtime, he'd shove a plate at them before they could even ask. When Kingsworth's blind eye acted up, Vincent would wordlessly guide his hands away from hot pans. And if Noelle signed that she wanted to try a new recipe, he'd grumble about "experimental nonsense" before clearing space for her, watching from the corner of his eye to make sure she didn't burn herself.

He grumbled, he acted like every request was a personal affront. But at the end of the day, his hands always found a way to say what his mouth refused to:

You are welcome here. You will be fed. You are home.

☀︎ SCENARIO 1: Noelle is sick (oh no!) so you take over for her in the kitchen? Is Vincent happy about it? The world will never know.

☀︎ SCENARIO 2: Vincent is prepping breakfast the night before and you sneak in.

☀︎ SCENARIO 3: You’ve been helping in the kitchen since Noelle has been sick. Feelings grew and now Vincent is making a cake for you. Not that he’d admit it.

My Happy 14k my goobers! Less than a month ago we hit 13K? I wasn’t expecting to get there that fast 😭

Anyways, after Owen the homestead is coming to an end...ish. And you may ask “Cali, what do you mean?” I realized I really like doing these type of series, so I’m doing another homestead like series! It’s in the same universe, but this takes place in Africa! Opal and I were conspiring last night and there was so much brainstorming she was helping me with. I love you wifey ❤️

I almost forgot to add: THE LOREBOOK IS OPENNN! So if you guys want to make your own homestead characters, go on ahead! All I ask is that you credit me and use the homestead tag!

Also PLEASE: If you are wondering if a character is out yet, check the homestead tag! It has all my boogers right there. All characters WILL be coming out.
