Silly Zenkitty - you eat the ice cream WITH the teacup instead of a spoon.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There's no reason they need to match, or even should
But is there a problem if they do? If I'm gonna need 10 mugs, then I just got 4 of them with my set of plates, so that's all taken care of....I'm not seeing the downside. It's not like they don't work as well, or anything.
And I didn't begin with mugs--I began with everything.
Aims, poke Colin in the ribs for me.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Strix, baby, hit me up if you come through NC. NCistas are collectively and individually fabulous, and anyway you showed me yours and I shall show you mine.
WHAT.
Barbecue.

The status is NOT quo.
Dear Guy Sitting Next to Me on the Plane:
No, thanks, I really don't want to see the YouTube clip of the racist comedien making fun of Asian accents. Really.
No Love, Me

Nobody on the plane should be subjecting anyone else to any comedy, even if it's Dave Chappelle guesting on Community. Not Sharing Time.
My sister's weekend has no dress code.
I wanted a dress code! Just once! For like, an hour!
She totally does not get a rush out of dressing up unless you make her do it, and then she only retroactively looks at herself and thinks she looked good. She very rarely sets out to look fly.
Uh, not that anyone's tried to look fly in the last ten years.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
We kind of collect one-of-a-kind mugs. In NC potters are thick on the ground, and a hand-thrown, hand-glazed mug is a OOAK mini piece of art you can drink your chai latte from. So none of our mugs match--each other or anything else. And each is a little piece of handheld art. Dishes, eh. We have odds and ends from several four-place sets from Walmart, K-mart, Roses, Fred's, Target, and hand-me-downs. We can feed people, and I'll throw on a tablecloth to tie a color in all the pieces together. We have several place settings of matching glasses and flatware, but I like the random dishes.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I have a lot of random vintage and antique dishes I've picked up at flea markets because they were pretty, and a bunch that came form my grandma's house. Everyday dishes are a set of Corelle. Mugs are random, collected here and there. Everyday glasses are the Coca-cola glasses I collected from McDonald's. What? I like them.

We use the standard white IKEA plates, and though I initially bought them for price and convenience, I've grown to like their simplicity.

Thrive to spite them
I have Pfalzgraff Yorktowne plates that Mom got a garage sale. they are the same pattern dished we used growing up. Not the same dishes, because Mom lent the set to her sister - who promptly gave them away.
