portraits of the vatore siblings [in-game wall art]

I'm having a lot of fun putting the Vatores in period clothes, so I made some renders of them dressed up in 1890s-1940s clothing and threw them into that big frame from Vampires.

download [sfs]

This was a pretty big project: 3 cc wall art pieces covering 6 decades of fashion with 12 separate outfits, which resulted in 18 individual renders and 144 total swatches. Also, the frame itself is huge. I prefer them sized down (shift + [ in buy mode) but they are 100% the type to own larger-than-life portraits of themselves.

My hc is that the Vatores were born in the late 1930s/early 1940s, so imo they aren't actually old enough to have worn any of these clothes when they were first in style. I think they dressed up like it’s old times and took a buncha pictures just to confuse people trying to figure out how old they really are. Sibling bonding!

Included below are all 18 renders, with cc and full color below the cut.

It truly feels like we’re slowly losing them all. It’s so hard for me to process their deaths at times. Harry Potter has always meant so much to me. It was my escape from life, from reality, from the hardships I endured growing up. I’ll truly never be able to explain how grateful I am for this world that JK Rowling created & so graciously shared with all of us. These characters were truly brought to life by the actors and actresses that played them. I’ll forever be grateful for their love, hard work, and dedication to these roles. May they all rest in eternal paradise. 💔✨

Transiting Sun enters Virgo

Thursday, August 22 - Sunday, September 22, 2024

Virgo the Virgin*:

• Earth (material - practical, grounded, sensual, reliable, stable, cautious)

• Yin (gravity - ingoing, receptive, intuitive, collecting)

• Mutable (adapting to learning - distributing, connecting, flexible, scattered)

• Interpersonal (social - focused on others

• "I analyze"

• Ruler - Mercury (traditional), the Lady Asteroids Ceres, Pallas, Juno, and Vesta (Ms M); exalted - Chiron and the other Centaurs (Ms M)

• Color: earthy brown-greens, like olive and sage

(* Gleaned almost completely from the book Astrology for Yourself by Bloch and George; the rulerships and color are my own theory/belief.)

===+++***+++===

I’m seeing this particular Virgo season as picking up a lot of pieces and trying to put them together again. Or trying to put them together better.

We have to keep in mind, also, that the “shadow of the eclipse” begins on September 7 - just over halfway through Virgo season. Things are bound to get crazy.

This all may end well for us, with a pretty spectacular stellar lineup that helps us attune closer to The Cosmos. It isn’t all smooth sailing, though. The upcoming eclipse is a “South Node” one, taking something away - unhealthy attachments to the past will get in the way.

Thursday, August 22 - Sun/Virgo inconjunct Pluto Rx/Aquarius, 0°11’. Adjustments; maybe we’re looking at all those pieces scattered around. Those aren’t very emotional placements, and we’re more comfortable with rationalizing right now.

Thursday, August 29 - Friday, August 30:

Sun/Virgo semi-sextile Juno/Libra, 6°47’

Sun/Virgo trine Ceres/Capricorn, 7°32’

Sun/Virgo (8°00’) sesquiquad Chiron Rx/Aries (23°00’)

Sun/Virgo inconjunct North Node/Aries, semi-sextile South Node/Libra, 8°01’

We like that Sun-Ceres trine a lot - I’m hoping we remember that bumps in the road are inevitable. This period before the New Moon can be spent not only envisioning the future, but planning how to get there. (And having good Plans B, C, and if necessary D!)

Monday, September 2 - Tuesday, September 3:

Sun/Virgo (10°31’) sesquiquad Eris Rx/Aries

New Moon, 11°04’ Virgo

This New Moon is practical, pushed a little bit by anger and resentments. But instead of fretting ourselves senseless, or wallowing in false humility, we can work on the reasons for that anger.

Saturday, September 7 - Sun/Virgo opposite Saturn Rx/Pisces, 16°02’. As mentioned above, this is the day the “shadow of the eclipse” starts - and with an opposition to Saturn Rx, ouch. Shun any feelings of hopelessness, with the determination to do your best.

Thursday, September 12 - Sun/Virgo square Jupiter/Gemini, 20°10’. Lots of ways this can go: being overwhelmed with how much work there is to do; not sticking with any approach long enough for it to be effective - the most likely ones. Pick a place to start, and then start.

Saturday, September 14 - Sun/Virgo inconjunct Chiron Rx/Aries, 22°30’. Possible health problems from taking on too much. Hurt feelings, being humiliated - and we may be the ones dishing that out.

Tuesday, September 17 - Wednesday, September 18:

Sun/Virgo inconjunct Eris Rx/Aries, 25°15’

Full Moon/Eclipse, 25°41’ Pisces

It’s a lunar eclipse, with the Moon on the North Node. There is a need to “own” our past traumas, and acknowledge where we need to heal. We can’t be the heroes we need to be, before that happens.

Thursday, September 19 - Saturday, September 21:

Sun/Virgo trine Uranus Rx/Taurus, 27°07’

Sun/Virgo opposite Neptune Rx/Pisces, 28°31’

Sun/Virgo trine Pluto Rx/Capricorn, 29°44’

This a pretty amazing cosmic event - having a “double sextile” aspect pattern between Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. The last time this happened was back in the early/mid 1940s - and we all know what was happening then, as well as the types of people born then. (Keith Richards!) A Virgo Sun is interested in playing some small but essential part - here, between eclipses, we can “tune in” to that generational planet energy.

( ★ ) ' relaciones ! 𓂃 personas de relevancia.

# helena yoon ! 𓂃 hermana mayor, 1909-1936. fue la primera en llegar y también la primera en irse. hija estrella y esposa modelo. se sacrificó contrayendo matrimonio a pesar de no desearlo, buscando de esa forma darles más tiempo a sus hermanas de hacer sus vidas. falleció a los veintisiete dando a luz a su tercer hijo, dos años después de la muerte de marion. su partida fue lo que provocó el efecto dominó que acabaría con todo a su paso.

# evelyn yoon ! 𓂃 hermana menor, 1913-1940. su maldición fue ser la última en todo, tanto en llegada como partida. nacer con la luz clavada en el pecho no la salvó de caer en las mismas garras que destruyeron a las dos mayores, la creencia optimista de un mañana mejor siendo la misma que la orillaría a su fin. como helena y marjorie, evelyn también falleció en sus veintisiete, la causa siendo una extraña enfermedad.

# marion de charmes ! 𓂃 ex esposo, 1911-1934. no se salvaron uno al otro, como juraron hacerlo, en realidad se condenaron mutuamente. él la condenó a ella prometiéndole esa libertad siempre buscada, y ella lo jodió a él infectándolo con su maldición. el matrimonio obligado donde el amor no existió terminó en un callejón desolado en las calles de seattle por un atraco no exitoso, volviéndola viuda a sus veinticinco.

# baptiste musgrave ! 𓂃 sire, desconocido. la relación entre ambos es y siempre ha sido demasiado inestable. su complejo de dios lo llevó a darle el abrazo cual segunda oportunidad de vida, simple excusa barata utilizada para tenerle bajo su ala en ese negocio circense. a veces se detestan mutuamente, otras son capaces de ocupar el mismo espacio y otras tantas, ahora escasas y esporádicas, vuelven a ser lo que en su momento les unió: un excéntrico hombre atravesando la pérdida de su hija y una chiquilla sin deseos de vivir aferrándose a cualquier cosa para dejar de hundirse.

Aca Top 10: Disney Sidekicks — VoicePlay music video

Triumph often requires teamwork. Disney heroes take big risks and achieve great things, but they wouldn't get very far without their trusty sidekicks. Whether they're providing a pep talk, sage advice, or a simple moment of comic relief, those supporting characters are among the most cherished by fans. So grab a buddy and enjoy this medley of feel-good songs.

Details:

My favorite bits:

Geoff's intro narration, and the other guys' reactions

the rising harmonies on ♫ "they will come to" ♫

giving "Heigh-Ho" a little "Hip Hop Hooray" flavor

J.None taking over the bass line while Geoff sings lead for "Bare Necessities"

Eli and Earl singing ♫ "settle down now" ♫ instead of "rest at ease" with two different connotations — Eli: "Take a nice break." Earl: "Calm down, dude."

J's saucy little ♫ "Uh oh!" ♫ in "Under the Sea"

that pitch perfect Olaf impression from Eli ☃️

🥕 ♫ "a-buh-buh-buh Mountain Dew" ♫ 🥕

Layne's michievous expression after Geoff swipes his carrot

the back row swaying in time to "Chim Chim Cher-ee"

Earl's affronted expression when J starts singing Maui's part

those horn hits from Eli and Earl 🎺

Layne retaliating for the carrot theft by recreating the Genie's raspberry toward Geoff

Trivia:

○ VoicePlay had previously recorded several of the songs included in this medley, mostly on their Disney-centric album, "Once Upon an Ever After".

"When You Wish Upon a Star" is the second-to-last track on "OUaEA", and moseys through several fun rhythmic variations.

"Be Our Guest" is the opening segment of their Beauty and the Beast medley, Tale As Old As Time. They also made a short video for it, which was one of the earliest on their YouTube channel.

"Hakuna Matata" is part of The King Has Returned, a Lion King medley.

"Friend Like Me" is the closing portion of their Aladdin medley, Diamond in the Rough. It's also the first non-promotional video on the VoicePlay YouTube channel after their name change.

"You're Welcome" was included in their "Moana medley" with Rachel Potter the year before.

○ Since this video was released, the guys have recorded newer versions of a few more songs.

An excerpt of "Under the Sea" was included in their "Little Mermaid medley" with Rachel Potter.

They got back to their roots for a barbershop tag of "When You Wish Upon a Star" in the summer of 2023.

Geoff made a multi-tracked version of "Bare Necessities" as the first music video on his personal channels in 2020.

○ The YouTube description asserts that "No carrots were harmed in the making of this video. Except that one. That one was hurt over and over and over and over…" 😆

○ The guys are once again all wearing thematically appropriate shirts.

Eli — Timon the meerkat from The Lion King with his hands on his hips, in front of a white striped circle with a teal border and "nope" in teal letters beneath

Earl — silhouette of Yondu from Guardians of the Galaxy composed of the words "I'm Mary Poppins, y'all" in blue text with his crest in red

J.None — tall white letters reading "lit" with a gold outline of Lumiere the candelabra from Beauty and the Beast striking a dramatic pose

Geoff — Olaf the snowman from Frozen floating in a lake with "chillin'" in white letters beneath

Layne — classic Mickey Mouse and Pluto posing together, with Mickey's arm around Pluto's shoulders

○ This is the second in a mini-series within their "Aca Top 10" series, which was preceded by "Disney Heroes" the previous autumn, and followed by "Disney Villains" the next spring.

○ Geoff, Earl, & J.None's selfie posing was caught on video & posted to Twitter.

○ The guys also took individual selfies with their pal Rek who was doing production work behind the scenes.

○ The inclusion of Olaf's song resulted in many carrot-based shenanigans during the filming. Little did they know it would be the beginning of a running joke that persists to this day, particularly when J comes back to town.

Welcome to the photo dump for Episode 185: The 1933 Magenta Italy UFO Incident (The “First” Crashed UFO)! In 1933, an aircraft of unknown origin crashed in the small township of Magenta, Italy. At first suspecting it may be a failed launch from the German “Die Glocke” (anti-gravity experimental aircraft), Benito Mussolini’s best scientists and engineers raced to reverse engineer it. Ultimately they were unsuccessful, and after the Germans denied it was theirs, the axis realized they might have a flying saucer on their hands. When allied forces took back Italy in the mid-1940s, the Pope himself is rumored to have handed over the strange tech to the Americans. After being transported to Area 51 and then moved to a defense contractor’s warehouse, the remnants of the crashed vehicle are alleged to be the FIRST ever recovered UAP in the modern era. After years of rumors with no confirmation that this story was even true, both Lue Elizondo (former head of AATIP) and David Grusch (former intelligence officer turned whistleblower) have seemingly confirmed in recent years that this event really happened!

(HEY! WHAT’S HAPPENING!? WHY IS-)

Ag, Was yea erra chs tonelico sos yorr yanje!

(MELENAS-SAN!!!)

“Melenas-san!”

Meryu nearly jumped out of her sleep again, looking around at her surroundings. She sees that she woke up in Twisted Wonderland instead of her home in Ar Tonelico. Disappointment shone in her eyes til she shook her head. Meryu looked to her left at the person who woke her up.

“Good morning, Ms. Melenas.”

It was the bird-masked Headmage from last night, and the ghostly trio who live in the abandoned dorm. She looked down at her lap, saddened by the truth. It really wasn’t a dream.

“Good morning, Mr. Crowley,” the girl replied.

The headmage walked up to the girl with a tray of food and some other parcel. “I hope you had a good night’s sleep, my dear.”

She slightly shrugged her shoulders. “It was good.” The Reyvateil watched as Crowley placed the parcel by an askew foot stool by her bed. He then turned to her with her morning meal. It appeared to be a light breakfast dish, if one could call it that. A bottle of milk served with lukewarm biscuits and eggs.

It was better than nothing, she supposes.

Meryu gave him a brief ‘thank you’ before eating her breakfast. A few moments of silence passed between them until she finished her tray, offering it to the masked man.

Crowley placed the tray on the nearest nightstand and then began to speak. “Now then, Ms. Melenas. I believe it is time to talk about your current situation.” A nod from the girl told him she’s listening. “Given the current circumstances of your situation, I’ve devised a perfect plan for you until I’ve found you a way back home.”

This caught Meryu by surprise. “You have?” She looked at the parcel near the bed.

“Of course, my dear! After all, I am a generous man, and I refuse to allow a young woman to wander the streets without a roof over her head!”

A sense of dread formed in her stomach. Nervously, Meryu asked, “Oh. Well, what will I do?”

~Main Street~

The parcel she was given turned out to be a maid dress. The top was black like the rest of the school’s apparel except for the skirt which was a warm brown. The sleeves were a faded blue, not too tight on her arms, but also not too loose. The scarf that would cover her hair she made into a neckerchief instead. She hoped feeling comfortable in the dress would distract her from where they’re standing and drown out her nervousness.

They stood in the Main Street of the College campus next to seven imposing statues of what appeared to be rulers and fantasy-like entities. Meryu has no clue who they are, but they do feel like they’re scrutinizing her despite them being made out of stone. The Headmage had explained to her that she will be doing janitorial work for the time being. And that Main Street is where she will start at first.

“Should you have any concerns or questions, do not be afraid to find me or anyone else in the Staff.” He finished.

A nod was his response back. “Very well, then! Take care Ms. Melenas! I shall see you later this evening.” The headmage turns and leaves for his office, leaving Meryu alone on the pave way.

‘Well,’ she thought to herself, ‘Better get to work.’

<A few minutes later>

Meryu is sweeping while humming a small simple tune to herself, tending to her work without any problems so far. A few times she would glance a bit at some of the students that passed her by. Some would give a look of disgust, some would just pass her by without a single glance, and some would whisper some insults and crude words about her. But she didn’t let those words bother her. After all, she was used to being looked at weirdly by her peers.

“Well, well. Look who it is~” a voice broke Meryu from her thoughts. She looked about and saw a student with red hair styled almost like a jester’s cap leaning on the statue of a queen holding a heart scepter. On his face, a big red heart tattoo was on his left side, nearly covering the whole eye. “The female student whose magic is so special, but not fit to be a student here!”

“Come on, dude. No need to pick on her.” Another student beside the red haired scolded him. This student’s hair was a dark blue, and smoothed out making him look like a normal upheld student. His face had a marine blue spade, but it was on the right side of his face, almost covering the whole side.

“Relax, Deucey, I’m not picking on her. I was just saying good morning to our new cleaning lady!”

Meryu narrowed her eyes at the boy, turning her back to him so she could continue her chores. This only furthered the red head’s teasing of her. “Besides, what kind of person has ‘otherworldly’ magic, and is supposedly special that they get cleaning duty because they’re not Night Raven material?”

‘Just ignore him. No need to blow a gasket over stupid teasing,’ Meryu told herself again, getting back to sweeping.

The brunette boy-Deuce-feeling pity for the girl-tried to stop his classmate’s teasing. “That’s enough, Ace. Let’s get to class, ok?” He pulled the red-head- Ace’s- arm to follow. Before anyone would go about their day, another voice chimed up.

"Don't forget about me! I'm PRIME Night Raven College material!” a gray blur suddenly appeared on Main Street. It was the gangly talking cat from last night. “I'm WAY superior than her! I deserve her spot times ten!”

All three students were shocked to see the beast again. And he doesn’t appear to have his collar on anymore. “You again?” The young woman said. She didn’t think he would be back again so soon.

Grim smirked at Meryu, “That’s right! I’m back, and I’m gonna prove to all of yas that I’M the Greatest Mage in the World!!”

The trio stared at the cat as if he grew a second head. A tiny cat-like beast, as a student?

Ace scoffed at Grim’s declaration. “Yeah, and I’m the Queen of Heart’s ancestor.” He followed up with a devilish smirk on his face. “There’s no way a cat like you could ever be a mage. You don’t even know the first thing about the Great Seven!”

“Why you-”

“Just because someone isn’t well versed with this school’s historical figures means you should put them down for their ignorance.” Ace and Grim turned to see Meryu looking disapprovingly at the former. “And just because you are a student at an elite school, it doesn’t mean you should gloat about your status to others.”

Her statements ticked off the boy, a rebuttal on the tip of his tongue. “How would you know! You’re not even from here!” He continued speaking to her as Ace made his way over to her. “So why don’t you-”

A ball of light flew past Ace's face, curving up to the sky, and then…

KABOOM!!!

Causing an explosion to occur above their heads!

This caught many people’s attention, from those in the classrooms of the school to on-lookers who were on their way to class. The trio couldn’t believe what they just witnessed as they stared at the girl whose arm was outstretched after saying… whatever her incantation was. 

Of course, this also alerted a certain someone who witnessed the explosion outside his office.

Grim was lost for words. He didn’t think this human was all that special, but the power in that spell still has his hair standing on end. How’d she do that!! He’s lucky he wasn’t on the receiving end of her wrath right now.

Deuce spoke up after a moment of silence. “What… just happened? How did she cast that so fast?!”

Ace was still frozen on the spot. Countless thoughts ran through his head right now. Did she just- There’s no way. How! Gritting his teeth, he shouted at the girl before him. “YOU TRIED TO KILL ME!!”

“No, I did not,” Meryu countered. “I simply gave you a warning to stop it.”

He felt his pride sting at her remark. “I’m out of here. Have fun cleaning, you psycho lady. Come on, Deucey.”

Deuce mumbled under his breath at the name before following. This causes Grim to snap out of his daze and look to Ace leaving. Adding insult to injury, Grim laughs at Ace’s retreat. “Look at you. Cowering away like a baby all because a girl one upped ya! Ha ha!!”

Ace growled, his annoyance and anger bubbling over. “SHUT UP!” He flicked his pen causing a wind spell to fly to Grim. It almost hit its mark if Grim hadn’t avoided it at the last second. “Stupid cat!”

Grim snarled at the red head. “I’m not a cat!” And blasted fire back in retaliation.

And so began their fight.

Phase 01: Book 01: Dia rosa rudje ~Tes biron~

Hymmnos Note:(Rough Translations) with an Author’s Note:

*Dia rosa rudje: The King of Red Roses, essentially “The Red Rose Tyrant”

A/N: The Bolded Hymmnos at the start of the chapter will stay untranslated for now. But, as an Easter Egg, if you hadn’t guessed what those numbers and coordinates are, they’re a nod to the theatrical release dates of two particular movies. This is for my own take on Ar Tonelico’s lore and its connection to Twisted Wonderland.

It’s Complicated, My Darling: Character Introductions

Of course, we all know who our beloved Nick Folio is but in this universe, he is not the drummer of bad omens; Folio is a detective in 1941. Besides Folio, every character in this story is entirely fictional, so when you see mentions of his “family” in this story, they are NOT his real family. There will be quite a lot of names mentioned and new characters will be introduced throughout, so I thought I’d make a character profile for each of them.

Blue Blood

OK I'm hoping this is going to make Blue Blood a bit more clear lol

-

Blue Blood 00 - The War

Set in the 1940s, with mentions of events in the past. Mostly in Bahavi and Elohia.

The tragic love story of Einjal Daju and Lavis Kontemno.

The events that trigger the rest of the series, with the repercussions of their actions lasting for generations.

All Einjal and Lavis want is to run away and be together, but the gods are willing to shed even the most innocent of blood in order to prevent that from happening.

Feeling trapped in a life that was never meant to be his, Einjal begins to crack under the tragedies that befall him one by one. Until he finally lashes out at the wrong person, unwittingly starting a war that eventually devastates the whole of Sonhara.

-

Blue Blood 01 - The Fall

Set in the 1980s - 1990s. Mostly in Elohia and Auren.

The story of the Kontemno brothers (Lavis's grandchildren) who are all unhappy with the lives they've been dealt.

Each of them find what true happiness is for them and get a taste of the lives they truly what. Now they must decide how far they're willing to go to take it for themselves, or if they are willing to sacrifice their happiness for blind faith.

But it's easier said than done when the corruption of the islands seeps into their souls, changing them all in the ways they never hoped to be and turning their dreams into nightmares.

-

Blue Blood 02 - The Rebellion

Set in the 2020s. Mostly in Auren and Elohia.

Still deeply scarred from the events of the last story, neither the gishars or the islands themselves have recovered from their wounds.

Aurenian heir Ariel is growing tired of being suffocated by their father. Not to mention they're supposed to be a ruler, but how can their island accept them when they haven't set foot there in over twenty years?

Meanwhile, his Elohian cousin is worried about his own father's increasingly concerning behavious. He knows something is badly wrong, and he is determined to find out what, not realising how dark that rabbithole goes.

Not only are the gishars fracturing from the inside, but the people of the island are becoming more resentful at being left to suffer. And one person in particular is determined to do something drastic to make the gishars finally pay attention...

-

Blue Blood 03 - The Corruption

Follows immediately on from the last story. Mostly on the sea and the Emerald Belt.

With the corruption of the islands having more noticeable effects and beginning to cause destruction, the group sets off to find the supposed missing seablood heir in hope of restoring the balance of Li Hei.

But they find more than they bargained for on the Emerald Belt, where the walking dead are the least of their worries.

-

Blue Blood 04 - The Gods

Follows immediately on from the last story. Mostly in De'aba but features all Li Hei.

Realising that they need the help of the gods, the group attempts to convince those more powerful than them to finally show themselves and fix the mess they allowed to happen.

Yet there's grudges on both sides of the mortal plane and trying to work as a team isn't easy when most are willing to rip each other's throats out at a moment's notice.

---

I am currently working on Blue Blood 00 (The War), 01 (The Fall), and 02 (The Rebellion) lol. I'm one of those that needs multiple projects to switch between and it's the only way I get any writing done.
