Manon seeing Dorian while Rifthold was under attack:
“She had forgotten how much taller he was.”
“His sensuous mouth”
“He towered over her.”
“Manon studied his long legs, more muscled than last time she’d seen him.”
“He had packed on more muscle.”
“The golden tan of his skin.”
“Shot her a glare over his broad shoulder.”

Hello! I just stumbled upon your Vikings masterlist and was wondering if you’re still writing for that fandom? (Your Ivar series isn’t marked on hiatus but it seems it’s been a minute since the latest update) Love what I’ve read of your work thus far!
Hi! Yes, I saw your comment on Desire, I hadn’t gotten around to replying yet, but it was very sweet!
Im glad you’ve liked the stuff I’ve written! Technically I’m still writing for the fandom but I haven’t posted anything in over two years. And I doubt I’ll be posting anything any time soon, but I do plan on posting again at some point.
But I won’t write/post anything new, sadly, as the plan is finishing the Nostalgia series and posting all the remaining chapters at once to give myself closure on it lol
Thank you so much for your message! ❤️

Prioritising: how to prioritise + use it effectively to take control of your life.
Hi girlies🐩💗 So yesterday i was incredibly lazy and unproductive and pathetic. I didn’t do any work and i was mostly on the screens. The worst part about it is that it was unintentional. Meaning that if it was planned as a “off day” bc i did a bunch of work that week, it would be fine. But it wasn’t planned. And it felt utterly horrible.
So i decided to take control of my life because i have no one to blame but MYSELF. I am in complete control of myself so now i am going to use that to my best advantage. It’s time to…
✨prioritise what matters✨
This is a step-by-step guide to how to prioritise what actually matters to you and then acting on it. So without further ado, lettuce(random pun sorry) begin :)
Step 1: figure out whats important to you/ your goals.
What’s important to you in life? Is it being online and scrolling on your phone all day? Or is it getting good grades, staying healthy and happy? What is it? Identify this first.
For me, its:
Time with loved ones
Enough sleep
Good grades + being smart & educated
Looking and feeling good + taking care of myself
Having hobbies & skills
God
This is the first step to learning how to prioritising things. It’s not about doing a bunch of hard work for something that you dont even care about, it’s so that you can do a bunch of hard work for something you do care about, so you’re working towards a goal.
Step 2: make an action plan to achieve/ accomplish these.
So now that you know whats really important and what matters to you (aka your goals), create some bullet points/ things you can do to achieve those goals.
For example;
Goal: spending more time with loved ones
Spend time with my sibling
Talk more to my parents
Call grandma / friends
Goal: getting high grades + being smart & educated
Study study study. Study for tests at least a week in advance
Read a lot. Not just what you normally read, read outside your comfort zone! (So for me this would be history, classics, arts & fashion, etc.)
Listen to podcasts about different things
Goal: feeling & looking good + taking care of myself
Wash hair 2x a week
Skincare
Pamper yourself + self care days
Exercise
Going outside/ walking
Posture!! (Calling YOU out)
Final: execution
Once you know these mini goals/ habits/ steps you need to take, then its time for the most important part:
Execution.
Doing all this, is completely USELESS if you don’t apply it to your life. So now it’s time to actually do it.
“B-b-but i dont have time!”
Um okay.. but you have time for scrolling? Use this thing i once heard called “time stealing”.
Whenever you catch yourself scrolling or doing something unintentionally unproductive, then stop yourself and use that time instead on doing something that moves you towards your goal.
Having the steps you can take to reach those goals written down somewhere means that whenever you feel bored or need something productive to do, you have those things to go to!
Xoxo, Vanilla.

Guys while hallucinating on my new meds, I came to the realization that Mihawk was out on the open seas as swordsman since he was a teenager maybe even younger…. Did he ever finish a normal education?
Scratch that did he even have a normal education? Does he know math? Can my guy tell me the quadratic formula? Like I think we all forget as individuals how much school taught us yes the school system is broken blah blah but guys we understand germ theory and how birds fly and chemistry and biology that people just 60 years ago wouldn’t have known and would have killed to know, like I’m sure he can write and I’m pretty sure he can read but does he know how the moon pulls the tide? Did he know the earth wasn’t flat until he saw a globe for the first time?
Have we as individuals been bamboozled by the stoic gothic refinement of luxury that Mihawk projects we completely overlooked they fact the guy probably doesn’t know salt is a rock? Like wanna bet he saw how cool the over the top refined gay goth was and just like tailored that too his vibe but he’s never actually read a classic in his life?
What I’m trying to get at is Shanks who grew up around some of the smartest people in the world who spoke multiple languages, one was a doctor and you know Rayliegh who definitely doubled as a quartermaster might have a higher education then Mihawk.
Like I think it would be funny if Shanks was the guy who read books on Philosophy and artistic historical movements throughout the world (cough to impress Mihawk cough) and Mihawk doesn’t know how fish breathe underwater and has never read anything higher the a YA novel. (Which are awesome books but talk about reading a book by its cover! Lol… I’ll see myself out.)

[OC] Ninomiya Kanako (Kana) - Character Profile
🍎The cold but resolute asocial who's obsessed with her Family! Ninomiya Kanako!🍎
You can go to this link to our Oniyanagi Wiki site for her full character page!
"Kurumi is my twin, so do treat her well. That's neither a request nor a suggestion."
Kana is one of the two 10th generation bosses of the Oniyanagi yakuza family (alongside Kurumi). She is a talented assassin who's fortunately currently under a temporary restriction, so you're totally safe as long as you don't get in her way.
Age: 15
Birthday: December 13
Zodiac Sign: ♐︎Sagittarius
Height: 157cm
Weight: 46.5kg
Gender: ?
Country of origin: Japan
MBTI: ISFJ
Favorite author: Osamu Dazai
Favorite food: "Anything sweet will do", Kurumi's cooking
✦•····································•✦•····································•✦
PERSONALITY: As if she's in a perpetual game of poker, she keeps her cards close to her chest with an unreadable expression.
Kana has a stoic demeanor and her expressions are often devoid of any emotion (even in the face of life-threatening situations). When she does show it, it usually means bad things (not for her). She is also a natural liar and can be very manipulative.
She's an old soul who doesn't like wasting time on things that don't matter. She doesn't have any special interests and also doesn't derive any pleasure or regret from her talent, or so what she says. When in truth, she has a large amount of hidden bloodlust that she has trained to keep under control - for her Family's peace of mind.
One of the very few exceptions that stands out from this dull and empty existence is her love for her twin. Kurumi's safety is also your safety.
SPECIALTY: If it's for her Family, there is nothing she won't cut down.
Kana is a swordsman but she also has a special talent for assassination. She can somehow use any item into a murder weapon, no matter if it's a pencil, a soda can, a piece of twig or even a toilet paper. It's also easy for her to hide her presence because her footsteps has no sound (even when she's running in the rain). Out of habit, she sleeps with her eyes open and it creeps a lot of people out.
DAILY LIFE: Despite certain difficulties, she wants the people that she cherishes to live freely and be true to themselves.
Her Family members are quite the pieces of work - a very lonely, miserable and dishonest bunch looking for a place to belong in this fleeting world. And she is also the same as them. Caring for this Family (in her own way) is a responsibility she took on for herself. She promised, after all. So they should just do whatever their heart desires. Because she's not able to do so for herself anymore.
—Within reason, of course. If Yui were to start causing construction work level noise while working on his robot projects at ungodly hours, she won't hesitate to punch a hole through the wall and tell him to keep it down. If some asshole scum of the earth is trying to court Kurumi? Unacceptable. Fortunately, accidental deaths are a common occurrence.
RELATIONSHIPS: A new school doesn't change anything for her...supposedly.
Reborn: No comment.
Tsuna & Lambo: Don't get ahead of yourselves just because Kurumi is fond of you.
Gokudera: His sister's cooking isn't that bad. Skill issue.
Yamamoto: He's a good kid.
Hibari: This bastard's gonna have to graduate from middle school at some point, right?
Dr. Shamal: There are people in this world who deserve to die. But fellow weeds don't die so easily, don't they?
✦•····································•✦•····································•✦
Thank you for taking the time to read this! This character...is kindaaaa complicated, so I have a bit of a difficulty coming up with words for her profile. This character can pack so much spoilers lmao. Anyway, I did my best (lol).
Any questions about her or the story is very much appreciated! For credits, all Oniyanagi OCs are by me and @amiahoshi! While for the intro audio, Kana is voiced by erushaVA and I also got the background music here from MusMus! The audio art used above is inspired from En/kidu's April Fools art lmao:
"Kana outright doesn't care and doesn't think about gender or pronouns."
The next one will be Yui's, but that will be for late-July/early-August since I'll be too busy studying in the coming weeks. I think I'll start on the webcomic once I'm done with Yui's ref sheet.
