prompt: cynthia has been a very clumsy plumerian since they were little, leading to constant trips to and from the hospital. whether it be due to a stomach flu or a sprained ankle, it was not uncommon for cyn to find herself under the white covers surrounded by worried family members. this did not mix well with them being a fairly picky eater, as the hospital meals were never an ideal choice. the only food they liked receiving was jello because it was sweet and simple to eat. as their trips to the hospital grew more and more frequent, the jello became a type of comfort food and she was convinced that it helped her recover faster. their love for it prompted them to begin trying as many different flavours as they could get their hands on, such as fruit punch, pineapple, and watermelon. in their time out of the hospital, they decided to try experimenting with different recipes involving jello. baking turned into a peaceful activity that cyn could do without tiring herself out, and she loved creating new pastries involving different jello flavours. with support from her family and friends, she decided to focus her skills on getting into culinary school so that they could improve their skills doing something that made her happy.βοΈ βοΈ βοΈ
with this new dream in mind, cyn decided that she wanted to leave her town and move to the big city. the bright lights and possibilities enticed her, and they wanted to create a plan moving forward. not willing to let her frequent injuries hold her back, they began volunteering during events and holidays that her town hosted. they made jello-filled chocolates for the christmas parties, jello thumbprint cookies for valentines day, and even catered birthday parties and created cakes with jello filling for the younger kids. this made cyn quite the popular plumie in their area, giving them the confidence boost to begin saving for an even larger location in a city, and possibly even launching her own chain of restaurants. they know they need to take slow steps, but refuse to let their clumsiness and illnesses get in the way. βοΈ βοΈ βοΈ

due to cynthias poor health, she was never able to participate in the rougher play that her friends and classmates enjoyed. they instead enjoyed calmer activities such as reading, cloudgazing, and eventually baking. her favourite hobby was scrapbooking, as she could indulge in all of her interests at once. she received a book as a gift from her family, and it quickly became one of her prized possessions. the notebook started out small, but eventually the pages filled with sketches, tape, and memories. it was used as an art project, a document of their symptoms, and a list of everything they wanted to do in life. writing in her notebook became a way for cyn to brainstorm new pastry ideas when she was bedridden, and the farther you go into the book more recipes fill the pages.
Winner! The idea of why the jello is important is really neat I think! As well as how she grew to want to do more unique dishes with it!
