after having finished caroline’s books, i was feeling wistful about almost certainly never being able to find some of her cooler items, such as her little embroidered map, for a reasonable price. naturally, i googled it to find some pictures, and i was quite shocked by what i found!

my favorite grey market seller has apparently been selling it for months???? (according to the dates on the reviews)

anyway, i jumped on that *right* away. it’s about five dollars. the shipping is also about five dollars, but the seller does free shipping for orders over $25, and i never have any trouble meeting that threshold lol

here’s a clickable link, so, if you’re interested, you don’t have to go googling the seller’s (admittedly sketchy sounding) name: link

got in a mood. Decided to look through my old art and find almost every picture of Doug and Caroline I've made in the past 6 years. (This is why it slowly gets worse /lh)

I still think my favorites are the ones I did for my birthday in two different years, aka the first two. The one of Doug playing guitar, aka the second one, is still a piece I really liked making.

Anyways. Thought with the fact that others are starting to enjoy this ship too, I should share what I made a long time back ^_^

[girlokwhatever]

guys i know ive been lacking on the writing but i swear im getting back into it……

Second Citadel - The Indomitable Duelist (Part 1)

[image description: a traditional pencil and water-based marker drawing of caroline and quanyii from the penumbra podcast. the page is divided in two, with a scene in the top left corner, and a second scene in the bottom right half of the page.

the scene in the top left is from caroline and quanyii's first meeting. caroline is a black woman with short cropped hair, a blue tank top, and big arms with some scars. she is holding a lightly bloody sword. she is facing quanyii, who is holding her face in her hands and smiling. she has warm light brown skin, long wavy brown hair, and a fresh wound on her arm. she is saying 'my head? but why? I think it's much prettier on my shoulders, don't you?' caroline anwers 'be that as it may' /

in the second scene, caroline is on her knees in front of quanyii with her sword at her feet and tearful eyes. she is wearing most of her armour, but the chest plate has a big hole in the middle showing burnt skin. quanyii is standing in front of her, hiding her face in her bloody hands, in shock and crying. caroline says 'so this is how it ends'. / end ID]

Sneak peek of “Water Under the Bridge”

Practice went mostly well, aside from Jim skying the blade, Shorty catching too high, and Don frustratingly blaming Joe for rushing the slide. All these hiccups combined with Bobby’s personal life woes caused him to get short with his oarsmen. At one point, he told Don to bring up the stroke rate and when he failed, he once again blamed Joe, which led to the two bickering. Bobby couldn’t take it anymore and after calling ‘Way ‘nuff’, he shoved his megaphone up his forehead.

“Oh for the love of all good things would you two just knock it off!!” He glared at Don as his tone turned mean. “In case you forgot, Hume, you’re stroke. Joe follows you and is matching your rate; which is way freaking lower than what I asked for by the way.” he paused and inhaled before pulling the megaphone back down. “So, you gonna do what I ask now?”

Don simply frowned in response and after Bobby gave the command to row, the boys obeyed and when Bobby called to pick up the rate, Don tried something different. Bobby called him out and when Don tried to protest, Bobby lost it.

“Are you in a coxless four now?” his carotid artery bulged in his anger. “Because last I knew, we’re in an eight. And in an eight the cox gives the orders. Not the darn stroke.”

All the boys stared at Bobby, each one a little taken aback by his sudden burst of anger. Yeah, their coxswain had a big personality and was a bit of a fireplug but this kind of outburst was unusual for him.

“What’s your problem, Moch?” Chuck shouted from the two seat.

“Don’s my problem!” He gestured to his stroke. “Thinks just ‘cause he’s stroke, he can do whatever the heck he wants and call all the darn shots.”

Don leaned over his oar, a confused look on his face. “I nev–”

“I tell you to do one thing, you do the exact opposite. What do you call that?”

“An honest mistake,” Jim piped in as Shorty suffered a coughing fit in front of him.

“Stay outta this, McMillan!” He snapped before fixing his focus back on Don. “Pull any more stunts like this and I’ll tell Coach your butt needs to be moved to a different seat!”

A look of hurt flashed across Don’s face and he picked up his oar. The heck he was gonna be moved to a different seat. He glared at Bobby.

Bobby opened his mouth to speak again but as soon as he did, Ulbrickson shouted that it was time to quit through his megaphone. All eight of the boys breathed a silent sigh of relief before they paddled back to the dock.

There you have it! It’s simply a proof of life post to show I’m still writing👉🏻👈🏻😁 Which I am, obviously, I’m just slow. Wholesome content takes a while to put out, ya know? Plus I had to run this part by my coxswain friend on Instagram😁 Can’t have real rowers reading this and being all “Well, SHE doesn’t know what fye heck she’s talking about, lol at this crap!” and all that glitter and gore, ya know? It’s gotta be believable. (It was her idea to have Bobby threaten to have Don moved to a different seat/different boat)

[carolinebrandolph]

[ ! ] — it seems that [ caroline byron randolph ] has entered the scene ! she looks exactly like [ sienna miller ]. this [ 38-year-old ] is the [ ceo ] of [ the bulletin sports ]. it’s a small wonder since she is known for being [ resourceful & articulate ] and [ unyielding & secretive ]. she has been involved with the company for [ 6 ] years. [ SAGA | SHE/HER | 27 | CET ]

ABOUT

the story goes that over the course of history, fathers have looked upon their sons as the continuation of their legacy, the bearers of their name and the guardians of their life's work. daughters, adorned with grace, rather cherished as the delicate gems in a father's crown, symbols of beauty and the keepers of his heart. born into a family where influence and ambition were as inherent as breathing, little miss caroline was no exception, fated to a lifelong dance of soaring aspirations and crushing expectations, a ballet choreographed under the weight of tradition.

in the opulent confines of her childhood home, where tradition’s weight hung heavy as a velvet curtain, caroline shone with an inner brilliance. her parents introduced her with a blend of pride and superficiality: 'and last, but not least, our darling daughter!' her mother had undoubtedly imagined a daughter who would seamlessly step into high society with the same grace and success she. yet, it soon became clear that caroline’s fascination lay not in societal grace but in the business world her father ruled. at the brink of each new era, it is after all the bold spirit who dares to break old constraints and forge a new destiny.

while her brothers often revealed themselves uninterested in their father’s business growing up, caroline eagerly seized every opportunity to accompany him to meetings and high-profile events. young caroline was enchanted by the bustle of negotiations, the weight of authority in her father's voice, and the firm handshake that sealed important deals. his world of papers and partnerships, debates and decisions, became a mesmerizing spectacle for her. she was drawn to the energy of the boardroom and the power of business as if it were a storybook unfolding before her eyes.

in the dim corridors of tradition, some parents shape their children not with the freedom to grow, but with the weight of ancestral expectations. they drape their offspring in the garments of past generations, binding them to a maze of pressures and predefined paths. roaming these corridors, it was during her teenage years that caroline’s rebellious streak became apparent. her mother's attempts to placate her often seemed overly indulgent, in fact elizabeth was so soft with her it prompted caroline to believe she’d let her get away with murder. despite outperforming and outshining her brothers academically and otherwise, she remained the ‘darling daughter’, a label she would later begin to fear would indefinitely overshadow her true accomplishments.

draped in awards and accolades, caroline hung on her father's every word, soaking up his leadership and strategy like a sponge. she was captivated not by the glittering distractions of her mother's socialite life, but by the raw, unfiltered reality of business. each visit to her father’s side was a lesson in ambition and tenacity, and with every experience, her resolve to follow in his footsteps grew stronger.

for caroline, no amount of pearls or velvet lipstick could ever match the thrill of witnessing her father’s commanding presence in the boardroom. from those early days, she was determined to carve out her own path, driven by the same ambition that had shaped his career. naturally, this growing resolve set the stage for a clash between her father’s conservative ideals and caroline’s emerging individuality, leading to a strained relationship as she increasingly defied his expectations.

it was joining the family business that finally exposed her to the sobering reality, her relationship with her father strained after a pivotal argument in which he dismissed her ambitions as mere whims. caroline’s drive to lead and innovate clashed with her father’s rigid adherence to legacy and tradition, and as she looked around the room she realized she had been the last to understand that he wouldn’t budge on the matter.

her chance to redefine her own narrative came when the bulletin sports approached her with a project to expand its influence in american sports. it offered caroline an opportunity to showcase her talents on a broader stage and it seemed to her like a fresh start, more so than an exciting opportunity, a chance to break free from the familiar confines of her role and make a meaningful impact of her own.

yet, as she threw herself into this high-profile project, the excitement of the new venture giving way to a creeping dissatisfaction. friends complained she missed dinners to tend to work, romantic partners felt increasingly sidelined, and family members grumbled about her absence from visits. caroline threw herself into her work with a fervor, as if it might soon fulfill her as it once did, like a drug. therapy sessions offered little solace, merely suggesting that her loved ones might have a point and advising her to pick up more hobbies. instead, her solution (as she saw it) arrived in the form of an unexpected opportunity: the role of ceo at bulletin sports.

BITS AND BOBS

* pinterest * ask caroline about love, and she'll call it beautiful nonsense she has no time for, but deep down, she's wary of the strings and expectations that come with it. * ask caroline about her job, and she’ll say it’s exciting and fulfilling; but deep down, she’s still chasing the approval she hopes to earn by eventually taking over the randolph family business. * ask people about her style, and they’ll say she’s always impeccably dressed in tailored suits and ostentatious accessories. but ask caroline about it, and she’ll say she’s happiest in jeans and hiding underneath baseball caps, or wearing comfy loungewear and her favorite old university sweater at home. * ask people about her apartment, and they’ll tell you it’s a stylish, spacious retreat with modern design and high-end touches. but ask caroline about it, and she’ll say it’s a cozy sanctuary where she unwinds in candlelight, surrounded by books she rarely reads and precious mementos. "the girl from ipanema" by stan getz & joão gilberto always brings a smile to her lips and makes her head sway, after a couple of glasses of wine "midnight city" by m83 is what she puts on to dance around to on her own and "you get what you give" by new radicals never fails to bring back old memories. in the world of american sports, the randolph name is a beacon of legacy and influence. randolph sports enterprises (rse), the family’s crown jewel, owns a major nfl team whose games are followed with fervor. their influence stretches far beyond the field; as they're part of shaping the very fabric of sports culture, policies, and major events across the us.

realizing maybe perhaps i love aziraphale and crowley together because truly something about how they're the only ones who can truly understand just how complex and complicated the other person is . .. you think of an angel and you think of someone who is goodhearted and sweet and nice all the way through, except crowley knows that aziraphale is just as batshit as crowley himself (the look of delight on his face when he realizes what aziraphale's done with the sword, plus crowley knowing that aziraphale will help him stop end of the world because he's just enough of a bastard to do that kind of thing) and then also you think of a demon and you think of someone who is cunning and cruel, except aziraphale looks at crowley and knows that he's actually kind and gentle and moral, when he wants to be, and something something something about how suffocating it feels to simply have a human life span and feel as though no one knows who you really are, imagine how suffocating it must be to have a practically immortal life span but then you meet someone who sees you for all of you and give me a second

[eryanlainfa]

I need to design Hubert's crush that he has been pinning after for 50 years because I wanna draw Caroline and Laurel bothering him about it

[desertdollranch]

As Caroline raised the sail, her spirits lifted, too. She hadn’t traveled on Lake Ontario in all the months since the British had captured Papa. In spite of her worries, being back on the water made her happy. She closed her eyes for a moment, feeling the skiff bob on the choppy water. Papa will come home, Caroline told herself. She’d prove herself steady and enough to make a good captain. And one day Papa would build a sloop just for her.
