The times you write about Dream is so cute, are you free to write romantic headcanons of him?
HOHOO I'm glad you like my spin on Dream! Here's some headcanons about him.
Elegant, polite, serene, refined. Early morning sunshine and clear freshwater lakes. He's a prince for sure, and he'll make you feel like royalty with the way he courts you.
He's got a way with words; his brother's an artist at heart, but he's always been a poet. He knows how to make you melt, how to weave sonnets that leave you sputtering and swooning.
(You'll know you're the one for him, because you're the only one that can leave him speechless~)
He likes nature. He doesn't often actually get to see the things that he works so hard to save from his brother. Flowers, animals, even just looking at the clouds in the sky can bring him peace - he'd be a good walking partner.
He's terrible at gardening though.
Sometimes he needs comforting. It's so hard. He's so tired. Your arms are the only place he gets any rest, anymore.
He's an excellent musician! Very adept at multiple instruments. He'll serenade you with delicate verses, if you'll only let him.
He doesn't particularly like using his abilities to make you feel positive emotions. He will, however, soothe aches and pains for you, and if you wake up in the night he'll be more than happy to dispel bad dreams and help you back to sleep.
All that being said...
... He does have something of a superiority complex. When you're literally a God, it's hard not to. He hides it very well, because he knows it's not acceptable, but it's not always easy to mask. You're his darling, the light of his life, you and him are simply 'better' than the simpletons of the other aus. Sometimes it slips through.
That's not all, either.
... A lot of Dream's gentlemanly behaviours are his ways of dealing with very dark thoughts and desires. He and Nightmare are cut from the same cloth, after all. The only difference between the brothers is Nightmare chooses to indulge at the expense of others - and Dream knows that. He knows he's only a few bad deeds away from becoming his brother. He's compensating by acting extra good and kind.
Just like Nightmare, Dream is prone to jealousy and possessiveness. It's extremely hard to tell when he's jealous because he masks it with even more politeness and kindness. He already lost one person dear to him, he deeply fears losing you as well. When his smile is just that bit wider and his fingers wrap around your shoulder with just a little too much deliberateness, it might be time to go home.
He claims he never uses his emotion powers because they're draining for him. That's not the truth.
He won't tell you, but the reason he resists using them on you is he fears what he might do when he feels how easy it is to stop you from leaving him.

Monster Rooktober day 1
Monster!Rook Hunt x Reader
⚠️: not much, besides... dimension-breaking general monster rook. Meant to be pretty wholesome. He's possessive as well.
Gen!Monster!Rook just wants cuddles. It does not matter whether he is particularly versed in human speech or not, you will probably get the message when whatever creature that crawled out of hell (appeared in your bathtub) begins tightly squeezing you, oozing slime all over you like a marking of his territory.
By the time you realize he's in love with you it's wayyy too late (it's been two hours). He's invaded your house, eaten all of your snacks, covered your house in slime and burritoed himself in your bedsheets while you were showering.
He begins gaining a lot more knowledge about humans as he lives with you as you tolerate his presence infiltrating your home and enjoys cuddling you in more human-like ways, such as curling up on your chest instead of... sitting on you as an odd, undulating creature made of... something. He also enjoys watching you sleep. Or eat. Or live. It's his version of a 'hobby'. Be grateful you set a boundary early that he's not allowed in the bathroom with you.
He also begins learning how to properly speak instead of attempting to snarl out a besotted 'I love you' that sounds like the screaming of a thousand damned souls.
It's when he begins learning how to shape himself into a human figure that really freaks you out. Up until now he's been your clingy, cute enough monster pet. Now he's bringing you flowers from your garden like he saw on TV and parroting the cheesy romance lines he saw you reading in a book once as he conveniently leaned over your shoulder.
His human form isn't perfect but it gets more refined by the day, as does his speech and mannerisms. These days, you can take him out in public and no one even questions the oddly-proportioned man with too-green eyes and too-blonde hair walking alongside you with an odd gait. It's close enough, and he's learning every day so he can show his love for you! ♡♡♡

A small detail but I just wanna say I LOVE your food worldbuilding in your fic! I get so hungry reading about the dishes 😭 was there any inspiration behind your thoguts on Zaun crusine or any other fun lore? I was also wondering if you had thoughts on Piltover crusine and how that compares to Zaun.
Thank you so much<3
I actually have a Foodboard on Pinterest for Zaun's decadences and delicacies!
Re: Zaun and Piltover's food-canons...
Tumblr media
I'm basing Zaun on a hodgepodge of multicultural meccas like New York, Mexico City, Mumbai, Rio, Tokyo, Seoul, Istanbul, etc. Lots of different histories converging to form a diverse street-food scene where folks eat on-the-go. Given the Fissures began as a mining town, the fare is heavy on greasy proteins and starchy staples to keep the average worker on his feet. At the same time, owing to their proximity to the riverside, Fissurefolk have a taste for the ocean, too.
The end result is a very subterranean and industrial city that's very, very proud of its culinary heritage, even if the "cuisine" itself isn't exactly pretty or refined. There's a certain "ghetto hustle" to it, with scraps taken from wherever it's available, and improvised into something distinctly its own. Plenty of emphasis on cheap shellfish, squid, octopus, shrimp, clams, etc, as they're a hardier food source that can be found in great quantities downriver.
There's also a lack of sunlight, fertile soil, and fresh greens in Zaun. So much of what's grown organically Down-Low is the more straightforward variety of root vegetables, ranging from potatoes, rhizomes, yams, lotus, yucca, sweet potatoes etc. There's also lots of cellars with candle-lit rhubarb, and a very eclectic range of mushroom gardens.
As for meat:
The Deadlands, which are more of a 'wild west' type terrain in the FnF verse, sport a hardy ecosystem of cave-dwelling, marsupial-like creatures I've dubbed Sump-voles. They're furred, and the size of a medium-large housecat. They're extremely agile and intelligent, and able to survive off the sparse vegetation. They're the primary source of food for the folks of the Deadlands.
There's also sump-boars: bristly, foul-tempered, and omnivorous. A bit like wild boar, but larger and more aggressive. Their meat, while rather gamey, is a source of rich protein, and often cured and smoked, or served as a roast during the Equinox Feast as a 'last supper', a chance to indulge in some fatty, delicious pork before the dark winter months of austerity. Their hides are also a valuable commodity and can be tanned and used to craft clothing, their bones ground into powder for fertilizer, and their tusks fashioned into weapons, jewelry, etc.
In Zaun proper, the primary source of meat are sump-rats. For the chem-barons, they are raised in massive, hydroponic-like farms that cultivate the creatures on an industrial scale. For the poor, they're either the unfortunate victims of homesprung traps or the prey of the many, many feral cat colonies. The cats in Zaun are extremely large and muscular, bred to be fierce. They're often mutated and have been spliced with a range of different DNA, from gen-0 to gen-X.
There's no real 'normal' cat, dog, or bird in Zaun; it's a land where everything is a mutant owing to the chemical radiation that pervades every single facet of life, to say nothing of its ambitious history of genetic manipulation.
That goes ditto for the bugs.
Necessity breeds creativity, and Zaun's not averse to a little entomophagy. In fact, the more common, and less-fetishized, way to get one's protein is through the consumption of locusts, beetles, dragonflies etc. These are a mainstay, and you'll see them sold on every corner. They're generally fried, and have a very similar crunch to a fried cricket. There's also cave-wasps: nasty buggers who build their hives in the caverns, and have a sweet, honey-like substance inside their abdomen. It's considered a delicacy, and a luxury item.
The cave-wasps are also a rare species that actually produce honey (similar to the B. Mellifica, or Mexican Honey Wasp) and the honey they store, though it has a much thicker, gel-like consistency, is prized as a source of hydration and energy.
It's also a nifty hallucinogen, and can be mixed into ales, beers, and ciders.
In terms of fixings and flavorings: Zaun is an underground city. That means staples like sugar and spice are at a premium, and either imported from the harbor, or smuggled from Topside. However, Fissurefolk understand the importance of boosting their immunity with the right nutrients, and have a keen interest in herbal remedies. There's a strong apothecary culture in Zaun, ranging from quacks to savants. You'll see plenty of peddlers selling the dried mushrooms, roots, leaves, and other fungi, all of which can be boiled into a tea, or steeped to make a broth.
Two homegrown minerals Zaun prides itself on are its salt deposits and its volcanic rock. Both are extremely potent, and have sparked a range of industries from salt-curing to cosmetic masks. The rock salts are a rich source of iodine, and used to clean wounds. The volcanic rock has a high level of iron, and is ground into powder and mixed into broths to prevent anemia and boost blood flow. There's also a thriving industry for beauty products in Zaun. Because of the constant, humid air that lingers beneath the surface, it's common for folks to break out into acne, boils, or other rashes. The rock salts are a good exfoliant and antiseptic.
Jinx, for instance, has an entire apothecary's chest worth of creams, gels, and tonics she applies whenever she feels a breakout coming on. She's also not above mixing her own blemish cream out of a blend of rock salt, crushed-up coral, and a few drops of oil squeezed from a luminous jellyfish.
Silco, similarly, uses a combination of salt water and crushed-up volcanic rock to exfoliate the calluses on his palms and heels, and soaks once a week in a warm bath of rock salt, mineral oils, and medicinal Shimmer. He swears by the concoction, and considers it the secret to keeping his joints well-lubricated and his reflexes in fighting trim for running from stray bullets.
And Jinx's occasional tantrum-prone grenade.
The Zaunite diet is also very heavy on pickling. It's an excellent way to preserve foods, and a great source of vitamins. Their choices run the gamut from sour pickled cabbage to spicy, chili-garlic fermented fish to lime-spiked octopus. Pickling is a necessity. And, because there's not enough space for farms, livestock, or pasture land, a lot of the food in Zaun is preserved via canning and jar-making. There's a robust canning industry, and a very well-developed glass-blowing and masonry business, lauded for its innovative shapes and designs.
Finally, there's the beverages.
Zaun has a strong history of drinks, from fizzy, chemically-colored sodas to a wide variety of spirits. There's an emphasis on teas, tisanes, and coffees, as the underground water can't be fully filtered, and isn't exactly the cleanest. A cup of hot tea with some lemon and honey is an effective way to keep one's immune system up and running. Zaun is also famous (re: notorious) for coffee that's guaranteed to jolt you wide-awake after a nasty hangover. Their most famous brew is the Wake-Up Call, which is a mix of ground coffee beans, ground cacao beans, ground guarana seeds, a touch of cinnamon, and a dash of powdered cayenne pepper.
It's not for the faint of heart.
The most popular non-alcoholic drink in Zaun is cherry soda, which is basically a cross between Coca-Cola and cherry Dr. Pepper, but brewed with a mixture of fruits, berries, and a healthy dose of cave-wasp honey and citric acid. It's fizzy, and tastes amazing. It's also extremely cheap, owing to the fact that a lot of the fruits and berries are foraged from the caverns, and the honey is, well, free-range.
In terms of alcohol, there's a huge emphasis on beer, wine, and ale, owing to the fact that these can easily be canned and fermented, and can last for long periods of time without refrigeration. Potato beer is an extremely common, and easy-to-consume source of calories. It's light-bodied, and low-alcohol, with a range of styles, from pale-ale, amber, and dark. There's also a huge emphasis on hops and malted barley, as these are cheap to acquire, and readily available belowground.
Zaun's signature drink is made via fermented cavernfruit. It's very hoppy, fruity, and acidic. It's got a high alcohol content and is a great thirst-quencher. Then there's Devilfruit: a deep red liquor made from a blend of various berries, and a texture and viscosity similar to cherry liqueur. It's usually enjoyed neat, but can be mixed with a splash of mineral water, or served over crushed ice. There's also drinks fermented from unusual ingredients such as mushrooms and fungus. One, known as Dungeon's Kiss, is a cloudy, milky white ale made from the sap of a cave-dwelling species of mushroom. It's extremely thick, the color of a pumpkin spice latte, and guaranteed to get you hammered in five sips.
Zaun's drinks are all brewed, bottled, and served locally. They're a point of pride, and a great way for families to earn their fortune. It's a fiercely competitive industry, and there's a lot of inter-clan rivalry.
In the FnF universe, I imagine Piltover has a very different diet than Zaun, given its bucolic setting, proximity to the sea, and the fresh produce, dairy, and livestock they import from all four corners of Runeterra. The food culture is diverse and beautifully artisanal.
There's a bustling farmer's market, lots of bakeries and cheese shops, and plenty of emphasis on freshness, seasonality, and regionalism. There's also a strong tradition of wineries, distilleries, and breweries. As a city of commerce, they also have a robust, and thriving, shipping and distribution industry.
All of this reflects a more rigid hierarchy of social classes that is more centered on the "white plate" aesthetic. It's all high-quality and extremely nutritious, but it's also very…bland and uniform. In Piltover, there's little to no street food culture, and there's a general disdain for the sort of messy, greasy pap that's associated with Zaun. You don't eat with your hands; you use utensils. You don't slurp, slop, or smack your lips.
And you certainly don't lick the sauce off your fingers.
In Piltover, there are very clear rules about dining etiquette, and the "food world" is just another part of the culture around class distinction, refinement, and propriety. However, the rigidity and regimented nature of their meals can be very stifling, especially when compared to the raucous and rollicking culinary culture of Zaun. It's therefore not uncommon for Piltovans to sneak off Down-Low, roll up their sleeves, and enjoy a bit of greasy, sticky-fingered fun.
Most consider it a calorie-loaded, guilt-free "cheat day."

Luckiest man, luckiest Woman
Tumblr media
Pairings: Daniel Jackson (SPR) x F!reader
Requested by: @first-husband-lipton
Request: Okay because I really love Private Jackson (SPR) and he is Catholic AF... can I request a one-shot with him in a garden wedding seeing his bride for the first time as she walks down the aisle...and kiss her for the first time?
Settings/Au's: Wedding, relatively Modern
Warnings: f!reader, mentions of Christianity, two lovestruck fools, I've never written for a wedding or been to one so probably inaccurate depiction of a wedding, pure Fluff :)
Summary: You love Daniel and Daniel loves you, and you've decided to tie the knot in your relationship. Although, Walking down the Aisle, he realizes just how lucky he is to even be graced by a woman like you.
A/n: I BORE THROUGH THE COUGHING AND SNEEZING TO GET THIS FINISHED! I WAS DETERMINED TO FINISH IT >:D
Sorry I also kinda tweaked the request a little 😅 And, after writing this, I realized just how inexperienced I am in WEDDINGS. I've realized now I've never been to one and never had one myself :0
So uh, Google helped me write this quite a bit.
------
The day he had been waiting for was finally here. The day he; Daniel Jackson could claim you as his legally wedded wife. Daniel had picked a few best buds from his hometown to be his groomsmen, each had played an important role in his life to be deemed with such honor.
One by one, family members and close friends filed in and Daniel watched as his friends who served in the military alongside him were seated close to the front rows.
As the audience waited, the small chatter filling the air like the pleasant hum of insects on a hot summer night, Daniel couldn’t help but remember the first time he’d seen you. He’d gawked at you from across the street, where he had seen you laughing with your friends. His friends noticed —the same friends that stood behind him now —and had played a game of matchmaker. They had arranged for you two to meet again and officially talk. As embarrassing as it was, Daniel had been glad that his friends had gone out of their ways to tie you two together. Without it, He wouldn't be standing underneath the green foliage framed with ivory wood beams and the warm sunlight basking his back as he waited for the love of his life to arrive.
Finally, as the last car pulled into the parking lot, the wedding was ready to begin. Daniel watched as you moved forwards towards the aisle, and he could feel his jaw drop. The elegant white dress you wore was stunning, the silky fabric with a long train that flowed along the stone pathway that Daniel could only imagine to be the most refined fashion for women there could be, hugged you tightly and highlighted your curves in every right way. Daniel could feel his heart race at the sight of you, still as pretty as the first time you met, walking down the aisle. He could only imagine how God had somehow poured a little more love over you when he was creating the beauty walking towards him, and he thanked God for blessing him with such an amazing woman he would be sure to treasure if she said yes one more time.
Daniel was so entranced that he hardly recognized the priest had begun talking beside him, holding a large book open in one palm while reading out intricate verses. The priest finished and moved onto the vows,
"Do you, Daniel Jackson, take Y/n Y/l/n to be your wife?"
Without hesitation Daniel replied, "Yes"
"And do you, Y/n Y/l/n take Daniel Jackson to be your husband?"
"Yes." You answered.
Daniel felt your hands slip into his and he squeezed them lightly. He was Really doing this. He was settling down hopefully forever with you. He was 'tying the knot.' And all Daniel wanted to do right now was kiss you, in thanks, in love, in appreciation, in confession, and the priests "You may kiss the bride." Was all he needed to capture your perfect lips in his in an endearing kiss.
And as he reminisced over the first time he had kissed you, atop the ferris wheel at the carnival a few years ago, how your lips had been so soft and had treated beyond what Daniel could've interpreted back then, he couldn't help but compare today's kiss and the first kiss all those years ago.
"I love you." He heard you whisper, just above the cheering of the crowd below.
"I love you, too."
Daniel Jackson was the luckiest man alive, he got to have you, a woman he believed was beautiful enough to be considered a God. And You? You were the luckiest Woman to be alive because you had just tied the knot with the most handsome, and kind man you had ever met that you had totally fallen for the moment you saw him, walking with his friends on the opposite side of the road.

🛏️, 🥪, 📚, and 🎨 for the oc asks!!
Aaaah, thank you so much for the ask! I'm going to go with Brisala Alithar to mix it up.
🛏️ What does your OC’s bed look like? What would they like their bed to look like?
Much like her sister, Brisala has a terrible habit of not really going to sleep. Wasting 8 hours a night dedicated to laying down and doing nothing could be put to better use with her nose in her notes and a hand in the dirt.
That is to say, her bed is pristine. It's tucked in and taut. Pillows plush and fluffed each night. There is a fine layer of dust on the bed frame that has to be dusted off once a week. Which is a pain in the ass to do since it was grown from fungi so it has lots of nooks and crannies things can get caught in. Thankfully a lot of the staff have a spell for this but it is still annoying to have to cast it over the whole bed when a simple bed frame would've been done in seconds.
There are cute little glowing shrooms around the headrest. Certainly not used for late night reading, but for a dash of decoration that Brisala planted on the bed. Some of them, however, are shrooms that do light up different colors because they're connected to parts of the Tower to alert her of intruders or passerbys.
Even in the supposed safety of bed, Brisala cannot let her guard down for a singular moment. She has lost enough in her life, nothing will ever be lost to her now.
🥪 On a scale from ‘burns water’ to ‘5 course menu’ how well can your OC cook?
Despite growing her own mushrooms for the use of cooking and snacking, Brisala is only versed in like two dishes and only those two. She can saute and mix decently, but she is no chef. A late midnight snack and her own comfort food is about all she can do.
She won't burn down the house, but she might not season a dish well enough or too much. Her specific mushrooms have more concentrated flavors that others might find too strong, but Brisala loves it. So her taste buds are slightly skewed toward different profiles.
She is the owner of a Tower with it's very own small community around it, so she doesn't really feel the need to cook for herself. Her chef and head of house are much better at it and much better at reminding Brisala to take a break to eat.
📚 Your OC has to improvise a 10 minute lecture about a topic of their choosing. What do they chose?
Mushrooms. Phenology. Their importance as a connector between different species on Vvardenfell. Why they should be respected and their field of study expanded to be included in everyday magic.
Fungal study is not new or unusual on Vvardenfell, but there are still endless possibilities that can be drawn out of them that are undiscovered and could benefit the greater community. To say the least on the medicinal usage they can provide and how they could be refined and given to the people.
Brisala helps fill her coffers by selling medicine made from specialized fungi. Either that or selling her fungi to vendors and taking a cut of the profits. So a quick 10 minute lecture on the benefits of her products would absolutely be something she would do.
🎨 Does your OC have any craft skill, as a hobby or profession? If so which?
Gardening would be the closest thing for Brisala. Unusual for a Telvanni Master to get her own hands dirty playing with dirt. She is very particular about her work and does not like the idea of sharing them with anyone, even with her own sibling. Brisala has layers and layers of magic surrounding her to prevent spores from being breathed in, especially if she's researching particularly dangerous ones.
Outside of this, I actually don't know. She's so focused on her work, and exploring every possibility that she really don't think about anything else. She can stop and have tea and gossip with her sister on the most recent rumor. She constantly monitors the health of their Tower and makes minute improvements.
Brisala is a workhorse that doesn't know when to quit and I'm sure she realizes this. Yet there is an underlying reason for all this work that she can't shake off and it drives her forward every day until she collapses.
So she goes back to her nurseries, and makes another mark in her notes. Same thing day after day. The work does not stop.

Fetch Re;Quest Dev Log #2 - 01/16/2024
Tumblr media
Whew, first dev log of the new year! Let's get right into it, shall we?
Backgrounds
I've mostly been focusing on the script lately, but since I'm not doing the backgrounds, those have been slowly rolling in!
Tumblr media
Kind of a strange mix of places, I know! The graveyard and Todd's apartment are places you'll visit if you play a lot of Deathpocolypse 2, where as the bar and the board game shop are visited if Flora and the gang get into Techno-opolis instead. Of Fiends and Fangs takes place exclusively at the bar, and if you play Clockwork Mercenaries, Flora ends up spending a lot of time in her room.
Sprites
I've decided to focus on writing the script before moving on to anything else, so the sprites have been put on hold for the time being. I did get a few blobbly sketches done before I switched gears, though!
Tumblr media
I've been doing this funky color blocking thing lately to get a better feel for how my sprite silhouettes look together before moving on to the refining stage. Obviously Flora's sprite is already done, but I blobed her out anyway just to see how she compares to the rest of the characters.
Also, for everyone's consideration- Dan small.
Script
As I said, right now I'm prioritizing the script. Currently, the game is sitting around 26k words, but I expect it will be at least 40k when it's finished.
Garden;Verse
And speaking of the script, there is a special game that Flora and Dan play together in the evenings. It's called Garden;Verse, and it's an otome!
My cowriter @brii-nanas wrote 10k+ words of (really good) fake otome routes for me to use... and most of it won't even show up in the main game 🥲
Not to worry, though. As Flora and Dan progress through the story, the actual scenes they're reading will get unlocked in the Extra's section. Please look forward to reading about some cute (and in one "bad end" case, rather tragic) boys themed around flowers.
Until Next Time
That's all I have for now! Since I'm focusing on the script, I'm not sure how much I'll have to share next month, so February's dev log might end up being pretty short.

Prompt list action!
I never saw you coming
stay in bed the whole weekend
dust off your highest hopes
stay in bed the whole weekend & dust off your highest hopes
thank you for the prompts :') this is a bit rough but i battled through writers block to get it out there. maybe i will refine it later, maybe i will leave it as is. all depends on if i can bear to read it tomorrow morning lol
shoutout to @firstelevens for telling me to google fancy luxury hotels and subsequently derailing the writing process <3
part of this verse, taking place soon after "at last"
you can also read this on ao3
“Yes, I know you’re the privileged child,” Sarah says, holding her by the chin. “Look at you, halfway across the world in a luxury suite. Gifts from a whole-ass queen on your pillow. Royal hair oil from the motherland. You better be havin’ a damn good time, babygirl.”
As far as the prolonged debate goes, Bucky has finally conceded that his cat has therapeutic purposes. Not for himself, necessarily, but Dr. Jean’s clinic and the NOLA children’s hospital consider her an honoured guest. Bucky goes and sits with her and shows the kids how to pet her gentle. She’s a gentle soul – that’s how he explains it. So she needs a gentle touch, to be able to give her own comfort in return.
With this in mind Sarah continues her unimpressed lecture. It has become somewhat more of a one-sided conversation: Alpine has found a near invisible spec of lint on the hem of Sarah’s shorts and is dedicating all of her focus to batting at the buttery satin with little uncoordinated paws.
“Is that right? You like the peace and quiet too? What, you don’t get enough of that in Delacroix? I haven’t stepped on your poor tail in months, you know.” 
In Sarah’s lap, the cat flicks the tail in question like she does when preening. It curls on outward, delicately.
“Most folk don’t take their babies on honeymoons with ‘em,” Sarah concludes with severity.
“Mrow,” Alpine says, as delicate and prim as her tail.
Well. Can’t argue much with that.
Sarah leaves the cat to her own devices and looks up to enjoy the view, as God and their very nice floor to ceiling windows intended. She was told her wedding present was a toss up between this and a pair of thigh high lemon yellow boots, and Sarah has still not figured out if Ayo and the grinning princess were joking. She supposes she ought to call her Shuri by now — the girl helped move their reception potluck table into the yard and everything. And, while he has never said so aloud, very deliberately careful in where he places them in his life, Sarah knows Bucky considers her family. 
But anyway, this: wood beams; delicate geometric crystalline light fixtures; thick, patterned, vibrant cloths; and doors and appliances calibrated to respond to her own (no one else’s!) voice. A river runs by them, deep in the heart of the palace, past the yellows and greens and blooming fuscia-purple-white tree flowers of the garden their rooms open to. The sound of the water reminds her of home.
Also, Bucky has just come out of the bathroom, and is absently stretching his back and shoulders out. So Sarah has a full spectrum of visual beauty at her disposal at present.  
She props her chin on one hand, elbow against her knee, and enjoys the view very much. It takes him a minute longer than usual to notice. His head is turned away from her and it remains so, but when eventually he brings his left arm up and over behind his head, he puts a show on about it and pumps the metallic bicep more than is strictly necessary. There is something flashy to the movement that is new for him and Sarah bites her tongue against a giggle. Before he brings it down he makes sure to use his right hand to tug the shoulder into a deep stretch that pushes his hips out.  
A bird calls outside their giant ass honeymoon suite windows. Unlike running water, peacocks aren’t all that common in Delacroix.
“You spoil this cat so bad,” Sarah tells her husband, when he finally loosens his arms; he brings the left down with a weight that makes it whistle faintly and flash in the dim bedroom light and remind Sarah of the last time she tongued at it to get him worked up. 
Very mundanely, Bucky pats his recently washed face and neck dry with the hand towel he’d tucked into his belt, and yawns so wide it cracks his jaw.
“Spoiling days are over,” he says, rubbing at one eye. He drapes the towel over his shoulder. He seems to have noticed a stray piece of gauzy tissue that has attached itself to the bare skin of his damp torso – they have a whole basket of them by the sink, even though Sarah’s been told they’re self-sanitizing and imminently reusable – and reaches down, frowning, to pick it off of himself now; Alpine perks up immediately, fascinated. “Slept on my head all last night. She’ll get the boot soon if she puts me through that again.”
“Hmmm,” Sarah hums, indulgent, while he discards the tissue. Now that he is no longer holding it, Alpine seems suddenly suspicious, and does not abandon Sarah’s lap in pursuit. Bucky stretches out his arms one last time towards the ceiling. 
She has been told that once upon a time, returning to the quiet twilights of the Golden City’s outskirts was the only thing to truly put him at ease; things have changed, slowly, gently. Bucky gets grumpy when he is away from home for too long. 
Sarah says, 
“Because you spent so much of last night sleeping.”
Mid-stretch, his mouth splits open in a quiet grin. Alpine mrows at them in the carriage of their lewd pause, even primmer than before. 
There is so much in that little grin — the ease, the looseness. The same looseness he has just shaken into his limbs in front of her. He is happy in a way Sarah doesn’t think has ever fully crystallized until now.
“Baby,” she says, “had you been waiting for the other shoe to drop?”
Now busy putting on the sleek little coffee maker in the corner, Bucky casts her a sly look from the corner of his eye. 
“Depends,” he says. 
“Hmmm, loaded word.”
“I like your shoes,” he scratches at his stomach, then his hair. “They’re all – what’s that word.”
“Ergonomic. Lady on her feet all day shoes.”
“Practical.” He seems contemplative. Over the shoes. “I like the ones with the little pink lines around the swoosh.”
He gestures with his finger at swoosh.
“Those old things?”
“They’re cute.”
Sarah pets the cat and contents herself with not getting a straight answer about this now. 
“Nothing-to-worry-about shoes,” Sarah says.
“Kitten.” Over the rim of his coffee cup now, eyes glittering with quiet, cryptic amusement. She just stops herself from asking me or the cat?
“Like us goin’ exploring tomorrow.”
“You want another day of total aloneness, honey?” He is teasing and also entirely serious. But mostly teasing. She knows this because he takes his coffee and sits on the beautiful wicker chair across from her with his legs wide open, the stance that always makes her want to sit in his lap. The only new thing -- aside from the silky material of his borrowed pajama pants, which are also some sustainable something or other, it was all explained to Sarah by the melodic AI voice in the toilet — is the glinting gold of the ring hanging from his neck, resting almost daintily against the broad curve of his sternum.
Sarah hums, fiddling with the small wring of beads around her wrist, their newness not off-putting but not neutral either. They’ve had three days. Tomorrow she’s going to go out into the world. Tomorrow she’s going to meet the queen. It’s a lot. She knew it would be a lot, before they got here. A lot, traded in for 3 days of complete and total peace and quiet like she has never even had reason to dream of before. 
She’s trying not to overthink it; Sarah had described her late in laws, once, and Bucky had said huh, sounds like someone I know. So maybe it’ll just be like that, but there will be foreign dignitaries around, and like, Ayo, too. Sarah is alright relying on Ayo’s clever friendship for this one. Sarah is alright thinking that there are certain things in life, certain precious experiences, that are the same in some way every way you live them.
“Are you gonna share your coffee?”
“Mmm, coffee’s only for people not wearing shirts.”
“Seriously, you don’t get enough of me naked at home?” Sarah laughs, but takes her tank top off anyway, careful not to mess the scarf wrapped around her hair. He’s grinning again, that same simple weightless look.
“Sarah,” he says.
“Mmmhmm.”
“You look so happy. I’m not imagining that, right?”
A slow, secret smile curls at her lips. She crooks a finger for him to come over.
“Come on, sit down. You ready for this?” She waits til he’s close enough to kiss, those long limber limbs with their grace and heaviness and danger and safety at once right up in her space. “You make me happy.”
She takes her kiss from him then, long, slow, heady. With his tongue in her mouth, the smell of the coffee and the shower and his aftershave all together could drive a girl crazy. 
Bucky pulls away first. He is crooked at the mouth, the sharp edge of the heat’s worn out by now, his expression a little goofy and very sincere. Alpine is mewling with discontent between them.
“Are you gonna show off for me a bit more before throwing me to the wolves tomorrow?” Sarah says.
He tips his head back, frustratingly inscrutable. Still goofy though. “Only one wolf,” he starts, looking to her for a reaction at the last second.
“Oh that is the lamest joke —”
“I’ll show off, I’ll show off,” he promises,
“Mr. white poodle over here. Nuh uh, don’t give me that face, I can make fun of you using Sam insults if you make bad dad jokes in front of your wife — get back down here. I took my shirt off for you, you can’t leave now.”
“In a minute, in a minute, hang on,” he says, that smile growing so wide it puts a little blanket over the sleepy longing in Sarah’s heart and veritably tucks it in, and gives it a kiss on the forehead. It’s earned its nice long rest.
Then he leans down, gives her the coffee, and scoops Alpine up to spend a few minutes cooing at their most spoiled child before she is summarily ignored for the rest of the night.

Miss Violet Winters:
Please do not re-post - I worked very hard on this - INSPIRATION: Porphyria's Lover Written by Robert Bowing
I remember the day I first met Miss Violet Winters. She sat precariously poised reading Poe’s ‘Raven’. Her full and luscious brown curls were pinned in perfectly place under her navy-blue headband. Her pale skin was an elegant backdrop for her thin, black glasses and full lips coated in a neutral soft pink hue. She wore a conservative navy skirt with a white blouse, both of which were a little too big for her. 
(trust it gets better ;)
Miss Winters was young, educated, and well-versed in society's mannerisms. She cooked with her mother every Sunday night while her father blew rings of tobacco and listened to Beethoven’s symphonies flow forth from the brass flower of the gramophone. 
She was elegant and natural, like a walking, talking porcelain doll that every man aspired to possess. 
Her home was a quaint slice of paradise with vibrant hydrangeas, roses, and other remarkable specimens that adorned the property. A wall of burnt orange maple trees bordered the heavenly scape. She would sit in the garden on her spotted picnic blanket and scribble her latest revelation in her leather notebook while I watched from the grazing fields next door. The sheep fed as the Loon and Woodland Thrush praised the sun's evening glow from the comforts of the lake and shaded pine trees of the cool Autumn’s eve. Between the hours of two and five, I could watch Miss Winters scribble down her thoughts and dream of the day she would be mine. 
During those heavenly hours, I fantasised about us as newlyweds that had moved into her parent’s cottage, sleeping in the same room and raising a family together. On weekends we would drive down to the beach with the children and spend our days rolling in sand and sunshine. 
Oh, how we were happy here. 
She was pure and innocent like a white rose among a world of thorns. Anyone who should dare touch her would only taint the eternal glow that brightened even the darkest places. 
I am her servant.
My heart has known no content for many years. Miss Winters is an unattainable object that only corrupt men would strive to attain. It sickens me how they would ruin her – God, how trapped and alone she would feel. 
***
It was a somber day. The incessant rain bombarded the ill-prepared earth, pouring down to the offbeat tune of booming thunder, merciless to the rage of the lightning. My hair stood at arms from the comfort of my pores, defending my skin against the harshness of the raspy air. Darting across the drenched dirt road, I stumbled through the public library arches and moved toward the front desk to return a book I had needed for school. 
The wind hollered and yowled in protest against the rain. Tucked away in the safety of the library catacombs' an ember gripped my bones, surrounding me in familiar warmth. Miss Winters was sitting with a sizable novel resting in her hand. The weather was harsh, yet she somehow looked more beautiful in the dull lighting.
My body was glued to the bookcases as I shuffled closer to her table. Words could not describe her beauty as she sat reading in the flame's feminine glow. 
My focus on her broke when a shaded figure approached her from the depths of the catacombs. Ayoung gentleman entered; the chesterfield coat and matching vest accentuated his tall frame, he had a leather briefcase, initialled J.S., was gripped in one hand while a spiffy top hat rested in the other. Something about how the band of the top hat complemented the gold pocket watch and made him look refined. His eyes appeared to be a cobalt blue, boarded by a pair of thin and rounded gold frames. He seemed elegant in his mannerisms, a kind soul that would make every woman's heart swoon. 
Looking back, I caught her glancing at her watch. In a poised manner, she began to gather her things, preparing to brace against the cold. I grasped my courage with both hands and stumbled toward her table, this was my chance to make myself known – to gain favor with her. I would finally get the chance to tell her how much I need her, how much I long to make her check blush under my burning kiss.
“Good evening, Miss Winters…” is what I would have said had he not greeted her while she put on her coat, preparing to brave the harsh elements.
No!
I will not. I can’t, she doesn’t know I’m here, she will leave me. No, not after everything I have been through. I’ll be damned if I go back to that retched farm alone. I need her. To feel her hair running through my fingers, her lips on my neck, her waist in my arms. She is to be mine; I have loved her more than time could allow. I want her - I need her. 
He would only ruin her. 
The thought of her with someone else, tainted by the world’s impurity broke my brain. My rose color glasses turned red as she walked out the door with him. 
Before I had known what I was doing my feet were moving faster than ever before, but before I could reach her, I was stopped by an unholy sight. This stranger had gently kissed her gloved knuckle and bid her goodnight, leaving her at the library’s doorstep – alone. 
No one could understand my pain; to watch her every day grow more elegant and purer. Miss Winters was a single white rose among a world of thorns.
hope you enjoyed - trying to figure out if I am any good - thanks guys 🥰😘

DAILY SELECTIONS FROM LAO-TZU’S TAO TE CHING — DECEMBER 23, 2022
“When people are born they are soft and weak when they perish they are hard and stiff when plants shoot forth they are supple and tender when they die they are withered and dry thus it is said the hard and stiff are followers of death the soft and weak are followers of life when an army becomes stiff it suffers defeat when a plant becomes stiff it snaps the hard and stiff dwell below the soft and weak dwell above” -Lao-tzu- (Taoteching, verse 76, translation by Red Pine) HO-SHANG KUNG says, “When people are born, they contain breath and spirit. This is why they are soft. When they die, their breath ceases and their spirit disappears. This is why they are hard.” WU CH’ENG says, “Seeing that the living are soft and the dead are hard, we can infer that those whose virtue is hard and those whose actions are forceful die before their time, while those who are soft and weak are able to preserve their lives.” LI HSI-CHAI says, “Although the soft and weak aren’t the same as the Tao, they approach its absence of effort. Hence, they aren’t far from the Tao. Although the hard and stiff aren’t outside the Tao, they involve effort. Hence, they lead people away from it.” LIEH-TZU says, “The world has a path of perennial victory and a path of perennial defeat. The path of perennial victory is weakness. The path of perennial defeat is strength. These two are easy to recognize, but people remain oblivious to them” (Liehtzu:2.17). LAO-TZU says, “The weak conquer the strong” (Taoteching: 36). WANG CHEN says, “It isn’t hard for an army to achieve victory. But it is hard to hold on to victory. There is no great army that has not brought on its own defeat through its victories.” HSI T’UNG says, “When a plant becomes stiff, it loses its flexibility and becomes easy to break.” WANG P’ANG says, “In terms of yin and yang, yin comes before and yang comes after. In terms of Heaven and earth, Heaven is exalted and Earth is humble. In terms of Virtue, the soft and weak overcome the hard and stiff. But in terms of material things, the hard and stiff control the soft and weak. The people of this world only see things. They don’t understand Virtue.” SU CH’E says, “As long as it contains empty breath, the body does not suffer from rigidity. As long as they reflect perfect reason, actions are not burdened by severity. According to the unchanging principle of things, the refined rises to the top, while the coarse sinks to the bottom. The refined is soft and weak, while the coarse is hard and stiff.” LI JUNG says, “The living belong above. The dead belong below.” And RED PINE adds, “How different this world would be if our leaders spent as much time in their gardens as they do in their war rooms.”

SAFA' (Purity)
Safa', in the language of Islamic Sufism, signifies the state of a heart at peace because it has been purified of all kinds of things that contaminate it, such as sin, feelings of vengeance, jealousy, and hatred, and suspicion of others. The verse (38:47), They were, in Our sight, among the most purified, chosen, truly godly ones, which expresses the holiness and greatness of some Prophets, stresses purity in the greatest degree. The word mustafa, derived from safa, and which means pure essence, extract or the cream of something, is the special used to express in particular the rank of our Prophet, due to his being the essence and cream of existence and the master of both worlds-this and the next. So, having a special distinction among all ranks and being a symbol of transcendence among the Prophets, it has always been a goal toward which the Prophets and the purified, saintly scholars have tried to rise.
Purity originates from the purest and most blessed of sources and reaches the pool of the human heart, from which it issues and flows into other hearts to enlighten them on new wavelengths according to the capacity and disposition of each and the requirements of time and conditions. It sheds light on the ways of the travelers to the Truth so that they can follow them easily. It purifies their hearts and equips them with sincerity, guiding them to the truth of Divinity, causing their spirits to move in ecstasy with the infinite pleasures of supplication and their hearts to move with love, zeal, and yearning for meeting the Beloved. It is usually dealt with in three categories:
The first is purity of knowledge. It occurs when a traveler continues the journey under the guidance and in the light of the knowledge taught by the Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings. The Book and the Prophetic Sunna are followed strictly and with utmost care during the journey, the requirements of doing so being never neglected. With the good pleasure of God as the sole aim of the journey, the traveler faces all hardships and difficulties, without ever losing the resolve to continue on the way.
In other words, purity of knowledge occurs when an initiate who is traveling under the guidance of the sun of Prophethood, puts heart, spirit, and reason under the command of this sun. Following him to the utmost possible in all thoughts, actions, and attitudes, the traveler is annihilated and revived in him, and appeals to his judgment to solve all the problems encountered. The traveler is honored with various favors to the extent of love and knowledge of the supreme goal-God-and zeal and yearning to meet with Him in the footsteps of the pride of Messengers, upon him be peace and blessings. The author of the Gulshan al-Tawhid ("The Rose-Garden of Divine Oneness"), talks about this rank as follows:
Go and pursue such knowledge that
It can open your heart and solve all your problems.
By contrast, any knowledge that does not inspire in people the true aim of life and, in order to realize that aim, does not equip their sight with the necessary light, their will with strength, their spirits with love and zeal, and their hearts with the desire to reach the realms beyond the heavens, is not promising, even though it may not be a delusion or mere illusion.
The second rank in purity is purity of state. It occurs when the heart opens and closes with the awe of God and love of the truth. It expresses its excitement and anxiety in supplications and entreaties to the Almighty, removing feelings of loneliness and gloom that come between it and the truth, becoming a hill where the breezes of peace blow. Setting itself solely on God alongside all the other faculties, such as the emotions, consciousness, and perception, the heart flings all else except the Almighty into the abyss of nothingness, like a stone, in order that nothing should veil God from it.
When seekers after Truth attain the state of purity and refinement, their hearts overflow with the manifestations of the truth of Divinity, their spirits are flooded with the love of truth, and enraptured with the real beauty of existence which they observe through the windows that have been opened in them. In this state, they turn to the Realm of the Holy Presence with the most enchanting of supplications voiced with the full force of their sincere feelings, feelings that have begun to speak instead of themselves. They unburden themselves, feel that God is turning to them, and taste the deepest of pleasures. It even happens that in this state they invoke the Divine Being Himself as Allah-the Proper Name of the Supreme Being encompassing all other Names-and as the All-Merciful (al-Rahman)-the primary Title of the Supreme Being which, like the Name Allah, can be used for Him exclusively-among the Attributes with which they qualify Him. In the rising waves of their feelings, they sense the pleasure that the angels have in worshipping the Almighty, witness the self-possession of other spiritual beings, are enchanted with the mysteries of the higher, incorporeal realms of existence and the beings that inhabit them, and feels as if they have transcended the limits of humanity. In the following couplet, the author of al-Minhaj points to this spiritual state, which one who does not experience it cannot grasp
Sometimes a person is dumbfounded in this state,
without being able to utter a word,
And sometimes only one who experiences it can know what state this is.
Purity of meeting with God, which is the third rank in purity, occurs when the worshipping servants become as nothing or, to put it in other words, feel and know annihilation of their own being, attributes, and actions in the Being, Attributes and acts of the Necessarily Existent Being, and live immersed in observation of the blazing manifestations of God's Existence and Knowledge. In other words, the pleasure that the worshipping servant feels in God's service is combined with, and melts away in, the duties of servanthood due to His being the Lord (One Who creates, sustains, brings up, and protects), and the mysteries of existence become unveiled and come into view on all sides. The manifestations of God's Existence and Knowledge that pour in completely pervade the conscience, and the shadow of the truth, which will become visible in the other world, begins to be seen with the eye of the heart. To paraphrase the state, God declares to His servants whom He has made near to Him: He hears by Me, and sees by Me, and holds by Me, and walks by Me.[1] So, such servants observe from their observatories of heart and innermost faculties, such as the Secret, the Private and the More Private, the pure spiritual realm with some of its mysteries, and the pure realm of the Divine Dominion with some of its particularities, and the spiritual realm of the Divine Power with some of its aspects, and the truths originating from the Divine Being. They know the substantial truth behind realities that are evident to everybody, and acquires certainty in their knowledge, and their certainty rises to the degree of certainty that comes from direct experience (haqq al-yaqin) according to their capacity. Peculiarities vanish and particular natures melt away in the burning rays of the manifestations of His Face, and only His Self-Subsistence is felt. In this rank, initiates, who have reached a state of pleasure that pervades the whole being, feel as if a drop has become an ocean, a particle the sun, and everything has turned into nothingness. They feel and know Him only, and begin and end with Him, and work by Him. They may go so far as to confuse His Being with His manifestations. Those who are not able to enlighten their feelings, consciousness, and faculties of perception with the light brought by God's Messenger, may make mistakes or be confused in their comments. Many people have uttered words showing this confusion:
When you have seen the lights of the sun,
You no longer exist, (burnt away by the lights of His Face).
A drop is lost in the waves of the ocean, and you, being a drop,
Have been lost in the ocean of mysteries.
You will no longer be able to find the drop.
Though it is not in the capacity of everyone to be lost,
Those who are annihilated like you are not few.
If those who try to explain purity of meeting with God use words that suggest incarnation and union in order to convey their states and pleasures, they are apt to be confused in their interpretations. Therefore, they must immediately appeal to the light of Muhammad, upon him be peace and blessings, and correct their confusion. On the other hand, those who adopt an interpretation and attitude that arise from a spiritual state and pleasure simply as a thought system and philosophy, are clearly misguided and are regarded as being in rebellion against God until they enter the way of the Messenger and his Companions.
O God! Show us the truth as the truth and enable us to observe it; show us falsehood as falsehood and enable us to avoid it.
O God! We ask You for forgiveness, health, and approval. O God! Guide us to what You like and are pleased with; and may Your peace and blessings be upon our master Muhammad, the sun of guidance, and means of happiness, and on his family and all of his Companions.

* important headcanons to consider.
can they use chopsticks : But of course. Luna is thoroughly trained in the proper use of utensils. She is also adept at some rather...improper uses, too.
what do they do when they can’t sleep :  Usually she will busy herself with whatever work she has to do (there’s never nothing, after all), but ideally she likes to take a stroll, perhaps even visit her garden. Luna has many sleepless nights, and would while them all away under the night sky if she could.
what would they impulse buy at the grocery store : Sweets. She loves sweet things, even with her low tolerance for sugar. Also tea, especially flavours she has not tried yet.
what order do they wash things in the shower : She goes top to bottom, of course. It is the most efficient way to clean oneself. That said, Luna would choose a soak in the tub over a shower any day of the week.
what’s their coffee order : Sweetened iced coffee, if she orders coffee at all. This may come as a shock, but Luna prefers tea to almost everything in life.
what sort of apps would they have on their smartphone :  Being raised without them, Luna’s not especially attached to her phone. Though it is useful to keep her on-schedule, so she probably has a colour-coded notepad app and a full calendar. She likes to play King’s Knight with Noct and the others sometimes, but she wouldn’t bother keeping up with the game if they didn’t encourage her to. Then again, she still hasn’t deleted it either. Whatever apps her kids or friends talk her into downloading. For the most part however, Luna keeps her phone clean and tidy. 
how do they act around children : Someone please tell this woman she cannot adopt every child she meets. Luna’s always gentle and softspoken with kids - she’s the kind of person her childrens’ friends like spending time with because she will listen to them talk about anything. She adores children, and it shows in how, despite being so much to so many people, she always seems to have time for them. 
what would they watch on tv when they’re bored and nothing they really like is on : TV isn’t a thing in Tenebrae, so her palette for good media is hardly refined. She tends to be a little gullible when it comes to trash TV, and for that reason finds it very compelling. She also likes sappy rom-coms, and anything with a solid mystery. After having children of her own, she will try to watch whatever it is they like in order to understand them a little better, so yes, it absolutely has happened that someone has walked in on the Queen very intently watching L’il Malbuddy and furiously taking notes. In her Insomnia verse, she watches the news a lot, and plenty of kid’s TV with Iris. That said, she’ll always prefer gentle music to TV in terms of background noise.
tagged by:  @leidemechanic​ (ty 🤍) tagging: @lightwithinthenightsky, @novuscaelum, @inimiicus​, @ravusnightblossom, @toeachtheircalling, @glaiveofgalahd, @ardynzunia (for Ruby) and @princessofmuses (for whomstever<3) and whoever has not done it yet, you’re tagged now congrats.

@badtrigger : hc + 🏠 for a home-themed headcanon // cbp verse | Thematic Headcanons. ᠂ ⚘ ˚
In Nice on the Mediterranean coastline of the south of France, Santiago and Brianne live in a modest-sized villa in the affluent neighborhood of Mont Baron. The hillside location is known for being calm and safe, and also exclusive since it was declared an unconstructible zone long ago, thus only residents of “privileged” houses live there. Obtaining this slice of rare property is thanks to the maternal side of Brianne’s family, the Guyots, who made their fortune in real estate and owned several plots in the area. 
Their two-story, four-bedroom villa has the charm of French coastal architecture with modern interior refinements. They've also made it work for them. The downstairs has a playroom (which they converted from the formal dining room), a living room with wide doors that open onto the back patio, a kitchen (with a big pantry) where they spend a lot of their time cooking together, a breakfast nook (to eat their meals), a laundry room, and another space (probably meant for an office) converted into Santiago’s gym. Upstairs houses four bedrooms; two are used as such (the master bedroom and the boys’ room since the twins will continue to share a bedroom when they are young). The other rooms are used as a temporary office and a guest room.
One of Brianne’s favorite spots in the villa is the large south-facing balcony which opens from the master bedroom and provides a picturesque view of the Mediterranean over their backyard. The couple spends many nights there seated under the stars and some early mornings too enjoying their coffee and tea before the children wake up.
The gated grounds surrounding the villa are home to various local flora (for instance, a dozen olive trees line the property) as well as their own additions — a small vegetable garden on one side and wooden trellises on another, which were built by Santiago to grow climbing roses on. The large backyard has a small pool, a grass lawn for the twins to run about, a children’s playlet with a slide and swing set, and a porch swing under the covered patio that outlines the back side of the house. There is also a built-in grill, cook station, and outdoor dining set, and with the mild weather in the region, it's used quite often.
The interior is bright and the decor minimal while still feeling lived in, notably by two young children. Toys, craft supplies, step stools, games, family photos, the kids' drawings covering the fridge, it's what one expects of a family residence and far different from the pristine, cold interiors of the estates in Brianne's past. This house feels like a home — a happy home of a young loving family.

Untitled (“Yet hate me yet”)
A Meredith sonnet sequence
               1
When I dwelt on any curious peece   your garres such encheason, If you   surrendered out. Yet hate me yet. And last, teeth were still rubs his day’s doctrine—in another girl keeping hours: their zeal, and none   distill’d? Through our prize his speede him at the   wind my Spectre around my incurable than Rome is prudence to her hair blowing up the Infernal love my true Lovers   of the grave—wrapt in wine, as pale. Spoken   light, however taste refines, and then she is hostess, her faults do the Sunne, to deck her drop? False eye can hit em right: I   arise from his a Wine thought need to me,   and said, No, no. Morn in the Topic over in her come his father, in the snow.
               2
As a perilous beastes shall run. To   be alone I’ll hate the passes whom I   lookt other, think of that we, each hands but the atmosphere, to sigh, to seek, but freedom and thought, when pity graced ye with   eternal love my desire, and could’st thou   art much grown, yet half a year when he felt th’ unguarded Victor of blood in their fall; I mourning in an even Sappho   fragrant a lovers dare coming sward   of Lucy’s feet, and that from abroad.

NAME: Laurel Candace Crow A.K.A.: Bug, Loorel AGE: 30s GENDER: CIS female OCCUPATION: Self owned catering / baking business. BIRTH TOWN: New Orleans, LA CURRENT LOCATION: New Orleans, LA BIRTHDAY: October 1st RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Single, VD EDUCATION: Highschool diploma, Bachelors in Culinary Arts VERSES AVAILABLE: main; With the decision to move back in with her parents, Laurel is beginning to understand why her mother has decided to step down from Coven leader. It is very apparent that what is taking place with their father is a curse, but from who or where they aren't sure? Laurel works to figure out a potential cure or way to break the afflicting illness before its too late. ----------------------------------------------- PERSONALITY: Subtle and Confident, Laurel navigates life with a sureness that makes you doubt yourself. She has an air of arrogance almost like she may know more than you, but rest assured it is simply the security she has in her self radiating outward. She does struggle however with connecting with others due to this energy she gives off and it can at times make even her hesitate. HOBBIES: Botany, studying bugs, raising bugs, tending to the living garden in her mothers back yard, studying anatomy and assisting her mother in mortuary duties, baking and cooking, fencing, swimming, playing piano, etc. LANGUAGES SPOKEN: English, Cajun French, Spanish, French. SEXUALITY: Demisexual, Demiromantic HEALTH: Laurel physically is thin, a waif as her grandmother used to say and its not entirely by choice. She has struggled with her health since she was born, but makes due with the concoctions her mother and coven aunts help make. Mentally Laurel is strong, so much so that she doesn't have much of a burden when it comes to anxiety and or depression. It is there but in a small amount. ----------------------------------------------- HAIR COLOR: Black, with a grey streak that grows out of the nape of her hair. EYE COLOR: Brown nearly black CLOTHING STYLE: Soft and refined, a more classic gothic look that has a delicate touch. Ribbons, frills, soft fabric's and almost grandma like patterns are in her closet. Skirts and flowing pieces that make her feel ethereal are what she leans toward. FACECLAIM: whitney peak, gugu mbatha raw ( just faces that resemble how she appears in my head ) DESCRIPTION: Haunting. Laurel tends to appear rather ghost like in her movements and how she holds herself, silent as she walks and delicate as she presents herself. Her movements are subtle much like she is, but she commands attention even with her soft toned voice. REMARKABLE FEATURES: Large eyes, long hair and her grey streak proudly shown off, full lips and a lovely smile, an unsettling stare that she can unleash without warning.
