“Hello!” Charlie peeked around the door, eyes glancing side-to-side as she took in the decor. Various whites and golds fancily accentuated the interior of the Embassy. She walked in further, noting the long pathway, surrounded by empty seating, all leading up to a desk in the distance. “Hello?” Her soft voice echoed with the sound of her footsteps. “Helloo~o…? Cre~epy…” Her face scrunched, shoulders curling in as she got closer to the lone desk.

She approached, not knowing what else to do. This being her first time at the Heaven Embassy and all. A solid gold bell was centered on the white porcelain, embellished with fanciful design and begging someone to ring it. Charlie stared at it for a moment before her hand slapped the top of it. The emitted chime was soft and held out the delightful sound. 

A bright flash of light emitted from behind the desk, swirls of golden flowers and sparkling light appearing and growing bigger before revealing a figure wrapped in a mass of feathers. They shuffled a bit and spread out widely to reveal the back of the owner. 

“Oh!” You turned around, eyes widening upon seeing the guest. “Welcome to the Heaven Embassy!” You smiled brightly, arms held out to gesture to the place. “I'm with Angel Support Services, you can call me Y/N, how can I help you?” 

“Oh, uh Hi! I’m Charlie! Charlie Morningstar.” The girl returned your energy, eyes attentive. “So nice to meet you! I’m here for a meeting with, uh, Heaven.” She explained.

“Right!” Your eyes scanned her quickly, “I heard they were sending someone… new.” You giggled.

“Yes! I’m here filling in for my father, of course, I’m sure you know that but I really wanted to present my new idea about rehabbing sinners and the–”

“Rehabbing sinners?” Your eyes widened, lips curling in. Hand covered your mouth. 

“I know right! Just the best solution to our problem! It may sound a little crazy but I’ve compiled an entire speech–”

“That is… A great idea.” You interrupted her, swallowing down your laughter. Oh, he is gonna eat her alive. “I’m sure they would love to hear it.” Your hands flourished in the air and a pen appeared in one while a scroll in the other. The glow on them shined as you set the paper in front of the girl. “Please sign in here.”

“Oh, Okay!” She grabbed the pen, “I'm super happy to be here! It’s so nice to meet with such friendly people from Heaven considering the ex–Oh!” As soon as she finished signing, the items disappeared and shocked her.

“Of course, of course! We get that alot.” You continued your cheery tune as a door opened on your right. “Through there please.” You gestured in the said direction.

“Just, uh walk in then, huh?” Charlie asked.

You smirked with a nod, eyes sharpening though she seemed oblivious. “Good luck!” You waved with a twiddle of your fingers, watching her leave. “You’re gonna need it~” You spoke quietly, watching the doors shut behind her. You shook your head releasing a sigh. 

Within the next hour you remained at the desk within the Embassy, awaiting the poor girl’s exit. No doubt going on and on about her silly little rehabilitation idea. Though her confidence was thick and made you admire that.

Once a year this happened, and it was the same every time. Answer the ring, pop on down, sign in whomever was visiting, and leave. Typically it had been Lucifer. But it seems that he’s sent his daughter to do it to avoid talking with you. Ever since, well… Last time, he just didn't want to see you. You huffed, sad that you wouldn’t get the chance to talk out the incident. Not that you would even know what to say.

The doors opened, a flash of red was twirled out of it and you saw Charlie land on the floor. Papers scattered around her as she tried to stand. The unnerving guitar of Heaven’s representative rifted throughout the building. The girl stood and walked towards the closing doors. 

“Um–Wait, didn’t you–” The last thing she saw was the devious smile of Adam before she was left in darkness. The last sliver of light snuffed out. “Awh, shit!” She slammed her fist against the heavy gold.

You rested your cheek against your hand, smirk ever prominent as you watched the whole thing play out. The girl was breathing heavily, head now leaning against the cold material. “Sooo, how’d it go?” Your voice was ever cheerful, dripping with a knowing cynicality. 

Charlie groaned out in response as she began picking up the drawings she originally presented earlier. 

“Yeah, that’s what most people say after meeting Adam.” You snickered. “Heaven’s finest first man, an absolute angel.” You stood straight. “Don’t take it to heart, he’s like that to everyone~” You sang out the final word as Charlie stood, her papers neatly stacked in her arms before they disappeared. She looked up at you, seeing how your expression oozed with intent.

“You knew he would react like that?” Her tone raised, questioning your actions. 

“Oh honey,” Your brows dipped as a slight pout appeared on your lips. “It’s Adam. Everyone knows. He literally calls himself the original–”

“–Dickmaster,” You finished together. “Yeah, yeah.” Charlie added.

“See! Look at you catching on so quickly.” Your hands clasped together as you brought them to your chest. 

Charlie groaned, taking a few steps forward. “Why wouldn’t you warn me before going in there?” She didn’t seem angry as she spoke, more shocked, more frustrated than ever. “I could have prepared better, or shifted my presentation, I just–Ugh!”

“The real question is: Why wouldn’t your father? He’s met with Adam plenty of times before.” Your words made her inhale sharply, eyes widening. “Eeouh~ Daddy issues? It's okay, we all have ‘em.” Your wings opened, flapping a few times and raising you off the floor to sit on your desk. “As much as I would love to help, Sweetie, I got more important things to deal with on the up-side, so if you don’t mind.” Your arm swung out, hand presenting the exit that was in line of sight. 

Charlie huffed before walking towards the exit, hand reaching out for the handle. You smiled as she opened the door and waved at her. “Come again!” 

As the resounding slam of the door echoed throughout the chamber, that was your cue to take your own leave. With a flash of light, you appeared back into the holy grounds of Heaven. The large golden gates in your view and a familiar face standing atop of the podium. 

“Y/N! Welcome back! How was the day down below?”

“Hi Saint Peter!” You greeted him, walking down the golden path to the entrance. “Same as always, super boring!” You waved a hand, sticking your tongue out. “Anyways, I’m off to pick up the notes from the meeting. Have you seen Ella?”

“Oooh, yeah. Sera asked her to cover the greeting party for new souls today and asked me, to tell you, that you’ll have to retrieve the notes from today.”  His face seemed like he was in pain as he explained what happened to you.

Your form all but deflated at the news. “Wonderful.” You groaned out the word, watching the golden gate open. You trudged through, smiling at the post angel and waving, “Thanks, Peter!” You tried to remain cheerful, wings outspread and lifted you into the air. He returned your wave and as you left, closed the gates.

With Ella gone, her duties now shifted to you as requested by Sera. Which meant you had to go deal with the First Dick. You rolled your eyes as you flew above buildings, weaving through the other residents of Heaven until you reached Headquarters.

The area was a combination of large buildings, all placed neatly in a secure area for higher ranking angels. They were decorated with the overdone gold accents and white porcelain walls. Seriously, how did they not come up with anything a bit more original. You landed on the ground and walked into one of the higher bestowed skyscrapers, being greeted by others as you did. It didn’t take long to navigate towards the elevator and pressing the button to bring you to the right level. 

You wondered why you felt the need to complete these tasks so quickly. Perhaps to feel the relief of the day being over; the chore having been finished. Just so you can enjoy the happy days of Heaven ahead. The days of the Holy and gifted, where nothing can go wrong and everything is perfect. Not a single thing misplaced or misused. Just… Perfect.

Once you arrived, your steps chorused down the long hallway. At the very end was a giant door leading to the one you were hoping to avoid. Just before it on the left was a smaller office that you stopped in front of. You knocked twice and waited for an answer. It swung open to reveal none other than–

“Lute.” You greeted rather blandly. 

“Y/N.” Her eyes were widened but she quickly bowed her head, hand raising to her chest as she did so. “To what do I owe the honor?”

You strutted into her office, eyes looking around though uninterested in anything you saw, “Ella’s out and I need the meeting notes for my report.” You quickly turned to her. “That shouldn’t be an issue, I presume?”

She straightened, “Of course not.” She walked over to her desk, picking up the pile of papers before handing them to you. You scanned them, noting the diction used and how well they were written. Obviously not Adam’s doing. You sighed though you didn’t care if he wrote them or not. “Should I notify Adam of your arrival?”

“No! No, no.” You began walking towards the door, stepping through the threshold. “That will not be necessary. In fact, don’t even mention I stopped by, mmkay? Good. Bye-bye!” You smiled though it never fully made its way to your eyes. Your pace was fast down the hallway as you reached the elevator. Luckily no one had called it and it was still on the level.

The doors opened immediately and you entered, turning around to hit the button for the lobby. You released a heavy breath and waited for the elevator to react. As the doors began to shut, the large office at the end of the hallway began to open. 

A familiar figure stepped out, “Hey! Danger Tits! when’s that dorky chick with the–” he saw you in the small gap that remained open. His body froze, mouth opened as his thoughts halted. He watched as the panels came closer together, his lips moving to utter the only thing he could process. “Y/N?”

The doors shut as you gulped. You exhaled heavily, feeling your body release any tension you had from seeing him. What a nightmare that would have been to deal with. You’ve avoided him as much as possible within the last year. Though with both of your positions, it was inevitable you run into each other from time-to-time. Quick exits and excuses were second nature to you now.

This moment for instance, you made your escape from the building and ventured over to the main one; having passed by other coworkers and fellow angels along the way. One of the final people on your list to see was Sera to hand over your report and the notes. 

This wasn’t your ordinary day in Heaven but it was certainly the busiest out of the year. Heaven had a meeting with Hell once a year to discuss any necessary things and then it was left in the wind until the next one. It wasn’t your favorite thing to be in charge of, but then again you were rewarded nicely for it. Not to mention, it was recently adjusted that there will be meetings held twice a year now. Something about boosting morale with those below.

Considering how close the buildings were, it was fairly easy to make your way to Sera’s office. You knocked and heard a soft “Come in.” You opened the door and saw her having a cup of tea with Emily sitting next to her. The younger Seraphim grinned widely at the sight of you. 

“Oh my goodness, Y/N!” She jumped from her seat and glided over to you. “How was your day? Did you have fun visiting Hell? Did you meet anyone? Please, tell me all about it!” Her joyous attitude reminded you of the new representative put forth for Hell. Charlie.

You gently laughed as she pulled you forward. “Alright, that’s enough, Emily.” Sera called out with a calming voice, pieced with a smile and causing the girl to release her grip.

She nervously chuckled, “Sorry~”

“Welcome, Y/N.” She glanced down at the papers in your hand. “I assume that is the report from today’s meeting?” 

“As requested.” You held them up and they gently floated towards Sera before laying in her hands and disappearing into thin air. 

“Your work today is appreciated.” She bowed her head towards you. “I hope it wasn’t too much trouble visiting them. Please join us.” She gestured to an empty chair at the table. 

“Not at all.” You sat, and Emily rejoined the two of you. “In fact, it was mildly entertaining this time around.”

“Oh! How exciting!” Em interjected, eyes awaiting for more information.

“As you know, Hell put forth a new representative this year.” You took a sip of the freshly poured cup of tea in front of you as you explained. “She was going on and on about rehabilitating sinners as a solution to the population problem they’re having.”

They both nearly spat out their drinks, each with an opposite expression. “That’s a great idea!” “That’s a horrible idea.” You chuckled at their different responses, spoken at once.

“But why not!” Em spoke up, “It could bring an end to the issue we’ve been dealing with for so long! Not to mention, it could bring us closer to those down in Hell–”

“Sinner Rehabilitation has no evidence of working.” Sera was quick to say, “If it were even possible, we would know about it. We must not question divine judgment.” 

“But Sera–”

“That’s enough.” Her tone was stern, ending the conversation.

You took another sip of your drink, sighing into the tense air, “I guess it’s better than the extermination.” You hummed absentmindedly.

“What?” Sera was shocked at the mention of the word, her voice coming out sharply as she stared at you with wide eyes.

You turned to her. “You know,” Your hand twirled in the air as you explained. “The proposal that Adam gave forever ago but it was denied at the high council meeting.” You casually mentioned.

“I don’t remember that.” Em’s finger found her chin as she tilted her head.

You smiled. “Waay~ before your time. It was shot down before there could even be a discussion about it.” You answered. “Anyways, I’ve gotta fly. Meeting~” You explained bluntly and rose from your seat, turning to leave. “It was nice seeing you two!”

“Y/N.” Sera called out, causing you to stop and swivel your head. “Uh,” She glanced down at Emily. “A word, before you go.” She followed you out of her office, signaling the younger to stay behind. Once the door was shut, she cleared her throat. 

“About the proposal,” She spoke quietly, calm eyes masking her shakiness. “That won’t be brought up to…” She eluded without saying. 

You laughed, dismissing her worries with a flap of your hand. “Don’t worry. Rehabilitating sinners? Like they would be on board with that, am I right?”

Sera tried to join in, though she cleared her throat, “And… about the other one.” 

“Other one?” You questioned before realizing. “Oh~ The extermination?” You scoffed. “Yeah, no. It was relayed a long time ago when it was initially discussed. No use in bringing up the past. It was declined for a reason.” You squinted at her. “Unless there’s something I should know about…” 

“No! No, of course not.” She held a hand up, closing her eyes with a soft smile. “I just wanted to make sure all things are transparent between us and them.”

You instantly shifted, grinning at her answer. “Great! See you around.” You walked off though an uneasy feeling remained within your stomach. 

Quickly, you made your way over to your own office, popping through the door and shutting it. Now, you waited. It was bound to happen soon, it always did after a meeting at the Embassy occurred. 

You were chosen, hand picked as they admitted. And though the honor was bestowed upon you in all its glory, the burden you felt took its toll on you. As much as you felt gifted for being picked, there was no relief to the loneliness you felt in your position. 

The gold necklace you wore began to glow, humming loudly as the light grew brighter by the second. It was starting. You took a deep breath, preparing yourself. A flash of white encapsulated you and you appeared into a familiar office.

A desk was placed some feet in front of you, the luxurious chair turned away from you. All you could see were the crossed legs of a sat figure, long and dainty, angled just slightly to the right. Cladded in white dress pants, he stared out the giant window that silhouette him. 

“Long time, no see…” He leaned forward, blonde hair peeking past the backrest of his chair. “Y/N.”

Omg your MBTI relationship with the jjk characters is so cool I love the concept !! If possible can you do an ENTP personality?

Your MBTI, Your Relationship With JJK Characters Part 4

ENTP – ISFP

a/n: Thank you Anon and @darkangeloftartaraus for requesting entp, I've received a lot of requests for this mbti type. Also @djskimpleshanks thanks for requesting isfp <33 I hope you enjoy these 🫶🏻💖💖💖

ENTP:

Gojo Satoru = Boyfriend.

You fit perfectlyin each and every way possible. Humor is the central aspect of your relationship. Your relationship is full of teasing, playful nicknames and witty ironic remarks. Sarcasm is basically your love language and how you flirt with each other. No one can get Gojo's sarcasm, they either get offended or confused, except for you. Both of you can handle each other. You have your own world, you'd be laughing your asses off while others are staring at you in confusion wondering what they did miss. You have a lot of inside jokes. Both you and Gojo are high intellectuals, you have a lot of ideas, theories and interesting topics to discuss. You're quick and naturally gifted at finding solutions to complex challenges.Your skills combined make you a powerful due. Spontaneous surprise skinship, so expect a lot of random cuddles , kisses and hugs. Despite him being narcissistic and sees himself as perfect, he considers you as his other half, you complete him. Your dates are spontaneous, Gojo always comes up with fun and innovative ideas to hang out. He spoils you a lot and always buys you gifts to show his appreciation for you. When you argue, you literally argue like an old married couple. Trusts you a lot, but he's very protective of you. He's the strongest sorcerer after all.

Ryomen Sukuna = Enemy.

You're a free independent spirit, so your values clash with Sukuna's overly authoritarian approach. Sukuna keeps on forcing rigid rules, and expects you to submit. So when you disagree and rebel it created an enmity between both of you. You throw at each other, ironic comments. You show him that you're autonomous and can't be controlled or restrained by him. Sukuna tries to tame you into his liking, to make you bow in front of him and completely surrender. But as an ENTP, you both mentally and physically resist him and try to sto him from controlling others as well. Given your nature, you also like to challenge him and break his ego. You make fun of his old stiff mentality, totally provoking him.

Kugisaki Nobara = Roommate.

Your shared apartment is a chaotic space. Always blasting music, room filled with your laughers, getting over your neighbors nerves ( Megumi ). When you're together you can't be serious, cuz you're always cracking jokes, talking about mutual friends and gossiping about your exes. It also helps that both of you share the same interests, you both like shopping. You spend hours jumping from one store to another buying new clothes and new house decorations. You always like to change the interior design of your living space. You're not good at taking important house hold decisions, so you always end up in friendly debates. Both of you are social butterflies, so you always throw small parties and small gatherings. Often inviting your friends over allowing everyone to enjoy their time and have fun. You'd force your introverted friends to join, literally dragging them. Despite your extroverted nature, you always make sure to comfort each other and “try” to give each other personal space, if needed.

Aoi Todo = Has a massive crush on you.

You hang out a lot since you have mutual friends. Poor baby couldn't help falling head over heals for you. You're not just physically attractive but also charismatic. He finds you interesting and captivating. Whenever you're around, your radiant energy transfers to him, it uplifts his mood and motivates him. He feels fully charged around you. Your presence is his personal source of joy. Todo dislikes boring people woth boring mindsets, that's why he finds himself falling for you because your opinions and ideas are unique. You're the complete opposite of boring, you don't approve of basic traditional ideas, you have a rebellious mindset that made tou break out of the ordinary. You made the mood brighter and more fun. He always looks at you with heart eyes. He's so obvious about his feelings for you, and everyone knows. He'd definitely shed tears if you invite him to hang out or compliment him.

ISFP:

Yuta Okkotsu = Boyfriend.

Warm kind of love. As someone who struggles to vocalize his feelings, Yuta found himself attracted to your understanding nature and how you empathize with other's emotions. He finds himself effortlessly understood and heard by you. And that what he appreciates the most about you. You are like his safe space. Your love language is almost the same; you express your love through actions and gentle gestures rather than words, this way is more appealing for both of you. ISFP and Yuta are both non-judgmental, you accept each other's pasts, traumas, fears and struggles. You love each other for the way you are without sugarcoating anything. At the same time you push each other to become a better version of yourselves. You have a deep meaningful connection, which serves as a source if strength. Your love for him pushes him forward to work on his strengths and become a better person for you ( he is perfect), to be able to protect you from everything that could possibly harm you. Quiet, intimate moments are sacred between both of you. He's blown away by the fact that you find beauty in the smallest things, you may appear as a simple person for others but Yuta managed to know you on a personal level, revealing that you're an artistic, aesthetic person.

Yuji Itadori = Soulmate.

He's an extrovert you're an introvert yet you managed to establish a powerful bond ✨Soulmates✨ . From the first glance, he somehow knew you're an interesting artistic person. On the other hand, you found his enthusiasm inspiring. He often encourages you to share your ideas and art more openly to the world. He wants everyone to see how talented his soulmate is. He respects your boundaries, if your social energy is low then he gives you your space to enjoy your solitude. He keeps you company, he sits quietly on his phone while you do your thing, totally respecting your peace. Yuji is always so vocal, he compliments you a lot, you always receive words of encouragement from him. Both of you can be vulnerable around each other, especially him. He isn't afraid to cry in front of you. You were hesitant to show thay side to him at first, but with his help he proved to you that's it's okay to let it out in front of people who truly care about you. And he cares a lot. He's so good at comforting, you don't ask for comfort but he always provides it for you. His arms are your safe place. Both of you protect and prioritize each other's well being.

Gojo Satoru = tension.

ISFPs are gentle, empathetic and humble and this conflicts with Gojo's narcissistic nature. It's not a hate relationship it's just you can't stand him while all of you are gathered and he starts overshadowing others, by bragging about being the strongest in the world. You admire his abilities but you hate the way he shows them off. You are empathetic towards people who are weak, but Gojo is apathetic towards them. So it makes you see him as careless and neglecting others' feelings. On the other hand, Gojo might find you confusing. He knows your supportive nature woth others, so he would be perplexed that you're not treating him the same, but instead, you're avoiding him. He is egocentric and thrives to be the center of attention of everyone, especially you. He doesn't need validation but he craves praising, so he pushes too hard to get your attention.

Megumi Fushiguro = Colleague.

If one of the higher ups wants to get work done, problems solved, everything into place.. they assign you and Megumi to get done with it. Minimalistic chats. All work, less talk. You work in harmony. Both of you are so quiet and focused. You understand and respect each other's approaches, which allows you ti combine your knowledge and make it affective, depending on the task. Megumi is good at critical thinking so it complements your strengths since you depend more in your senses and feelings.

If Swordthrust didn’t exist, I’d probably count Clockwork Mage (1985) as the most original adventure module in the Role Aids line. Like Swordthrust, this one doesn’t go for broke — you’ll immediately see ways to do things different or push the concept harder than the original designers did. I appreciate having the path laid out, but I would have much rather this have been a slam dunk rather than a lay-up (A…sports metaphor? Am I OK?).

Even playing it conservatively, though, this is an unusual and well-conceived adventure. The idea is that there are two mages who have been subjecting each other to practical jokes for a while. Recently, the clockwork mage went too far and pulled off a joke that left the mage on the cover (painted by Janny Wurts) diminished in a way she did not find funny. So she really upped her game in retaliation, trapping him in one of his clockworks in such a way that outsiders need to enact an elaborate solution to free him. This requires the party to explore the clockwork mage’s strange villa. Unlike the last few Role Aids modules, there are not a lot of typical encounters to be had. Rather, there are a lot of jokey puzzles and strange constructs (the mages “Sims”). Oh, oh, and a bard is necessary for a successful outcome! How often do you see that?

There is no real dungeon, just a rather well-kept, magic-soaked house. Merely exploring someone’s pleasant residence is a major paradigm shift and one I don’t think has been duplicated very often, if at all. I love how low the stakes seem (though the players are in some serious trouble if they upset the various folks who have a stake in the mage’s rescue, not to mention the house’s automated defenses).

Throw in excellent interior art by Erin McKee and Gerry O’Malley and some crisp maps and you’ve got the makings of an overlooked classic, I think!

interior design rant that no one asked for but frame tvs are one of my biggest pet peeves. they're a gimmick, insanely overpriced, and worst of all, they're very bad at their job. they aren't great at being a tv since the matte displays make everything that isn't "art" look washed out, and contrary to what samsung etc. claim, they're also quite bad at being "art" and do not "transform" or "become invisible when not in use" ...for one very simple reason: people tend to hang tvs and framed art in different places.

i understand not wanting a big screen to dominate your living space and i do like the idea of turning a tv, which is typically just a black rectangle, into a design object, but a frame tv that is meant to blend in rather than stand out is not the solution. making a tv pretty is not a bad idea per se. it's just badly marketed by samsung et al.

listen to me. in order for it to pass as a piece of art it has to be mounted (too high) on a wall. but in order for it to function well as a tv the entire living room layout has to be built around it. because it's bolted to the wall. so it can look kinda like a picture frame. the only problem is that a theater still looks like a theater even when the curtain is closed.

if you want your tv hidden, do it properly. don't make it part of the architecture. put it in a cabinet, hide it behind a sliding panel, or just get a smaller tv. and maybe ask yourself why you want to hide the thing that you're probably using the most out of everything in that room.

i think most people don't actually care about whether or not the tv itself is visible when it's off, but they want the room as a whole to feel less like a home theater. they want more flexibility, a room layout that is conducive to conversation with seats facing each other etc. so get a rolling tv stand! it's just a display for god's sake. it can move around. into a corner, from one side of the couch to the other, even out of the room. but a frame tv isn't fooling anyone.

Before:

You both agreed that it was darkest under the lamp. That's why right now you have a guest in your small but cozy apartment.

You left him alone on your bed. First of all, it was necessary to find him some clothes. He didn't agree to a sweater made from socks and you had no choice but to go to the neighbors and ask if they have any unnecessary doll clothes. It was the only logical solution you could think of.

Meanwhile, Gojo was sitting on your bed, looking around the room. Despite knowing you for years, he had never been in your place. He knew where you lived ofc, but somehow never wanted to look inside. Now he regretted it.

It turned out that your apartment was very... In your style. A small guest room with a kitchenette, a modest bathroom and your bedroom which, compared to the normal interior design of the apartment, was like entering another world. Literally. Gojo would never have guessed that you were actually a nerd, an otaku. A dresser loaded with books, comics, and mangas, figurines of your favorite characters probably spent all your savings, and your computer was probably the most expensive piece of equipment in the room. If he had known earlier, he would have had a reason to make new sarcastic remarks and jokes. But oh well, they say better late than never.

He teleported to the shelf where you had the figurines. He stood next to Miku Hatsume, he was a bit bigger than her but he still posed like her to improve his mood. He did the same thing posing next to Son Goku pretending to be his opponent. He played like that for a while, but you still didn't come back. What's taking you so long?

It was already light outside the windows, so you shouldn't worry about waking the neighbors. On the other hand, the fact that he has to have some "normal" clothes was your idea. He sighed heavily, now sitting on Deadpool's head. He tried to recall everything he remembered from the moment he shrunk. He was sure there was no curse there and no one with any magical powers. An enemy that can't be detected? Some strong opponent that can break through his barrier? If they really was like that, they would have revealed theyself immediately after his attack and used advantage, but that did not happen. And everyone would already know that something happened to him. But there was no call from anyone, not friend, coworker, student, or anyone else.

Seriously, what are you doing that you still haven't come back? Gossiping with the neighbors? Okay, but for so long? He was bored, he didn't want to think because no matter what, nothing came to mind. He teleported back to your bed where his cell phone was lying. It seemed so big. Fuck it, he'll call you and...

Oh yeah. He destroyed your phone.

Gojo waited and was bored and waited. How much longer are you going to make him wait?! What if you were hurt? The same thing that shrunk him has now gotten to you? You won't defend yourself. You'll die crushed under the boot of some Peter. What if you got hit by a car? Gojo saw you talking and then just banging your head against the pole. He didn't want to admit it, but he felt nervous. Whenever he started to wonder what you were doing, he would simply call you, but there was no such option now.

What if you forgot about him?! Shrunken, left to rot in your apartment?! Maybe he should look for you? He glanced at the clock on his phone; it was already well after noon. Gojo didn't even notice that he was slowly approaching the door, his tail was wagging nervously, he adjusted the scarf he was wearing and swallowed loudly. He'll look for you and then when he finds you he'll blame you for leaving him alone for so long, you'll feel sorry and you'll beg for his forgiveness, and he won't forgive you that easily, no way. You will have to pay the price for your irresponsible behavior. Satoru was already at the door when he heard the key turning in the lock. He quickly jumped to the side, hiding behind the shoe cabinet.

"Hey little one!" You shouted, closing the door behind you.

"I'm not small!" Gojo shouted standing in front of you, he was angry that you left him but he was also relieved that you came back. You smiled weakly at him, you had bags under your eyes. Well, you pulled an all-nighter because of him. And he'd probably even feel sorry for you if you hadn't been late. If you hadn't left him.

"Oh come on, alright big guy I have some information and gifts for you." You said as you entered the apartment with two large bags. Gojo teleported to the couch next to you, stood on it, and looked at you and then at the bags. "I've got clothes for you, a lot actually, I didn't think the neighbors would be so happy to get rid of doll clothes. I even got a little furniture."

"If you think you're going to make me some kind of doll, then..."

"I wouldn't even dare!" You placed your hand on your chest, feigning great indignation, even though it had crossed your mind more than once. "But you know, they were all dusty so I took them to the cleaners. And then I thought it would be worth coming up with some excuse for you." Seeing his surprise, you continued. "You don't really plan on showing up at school like this, do you?"

"No, of course I do! I'll give my students a lesson on minimalism." He replied sarcastically, raising his hands up dramatically.

"That's what I thought too. So I wondered what I could say and arrange so that no one would look for you and at the same time they would accept your absence. Well, I did it. Almost. I mean, you have the few days off from school. It was worse with the elders." You sighed as you reached into one of the bags for a packet of cookies, which You opened and placed between you and Satoru. The men immediately grabbed them. You knew it wasn't anything nutritious. But you no longer had the strength to cook. Gojo crunched the cookie as if he had only just realized his own hunger.

"What did you tell them?" He asked with his mouth full, glancing at you. He was holding a cookie in both hands.

"That you caught chickenpox. You know, you never got sick as a child, but when you catch it as an adult, it's much worse."

"What kind of disease is this?" He asked quite seriously.

"You know, white spots all over the body that itch terribly, fever and a condition similar to the flu. Very contagious among children and one of those diseases that are better to get over." You replied completely unfazed by the fact that he didn't even know about it. "It worked at school, Yaga even gave me some medicine that would help you. And at work, so they won't bother you unless there's a risk of the end of the world." You winked at him, pleased with yourself.

"And these old farts?"

"in their opinion, even if you were terminally ill, you should be at their beck and call. At first they didn't believe me, but I told them that it only took a moment for you to lower the barrier and your immune system has been attacked." You sighed as you took one of the cookies and popped it into your mouth. "I'll have to get you a doctor's note because they don't want to believe it, but I'll worry about that tomorrow."

"Myhym, this gives us some time to find a way to fix me. Good job." He twitched his tail nervously, almost forgetting his anger and boredom, almost. "And it took you this long?"

"I managed to get everything sorted out faster than I thought." You replied indignantly, crossing your arms over your chest.

"I was dying of boredom! By the way, nice room, nerd"

"I'm glad you like it, little one" you replied with a forced smile

"Hey! Well, never mind, let's hit the road to..."

"Oh no my good sir. We'll take care of that tomorrow. I have to go to sleep tonight or I'll faint and who's going to help you? Listen, I'm not as strong as you and I'm already feeling dizzy."

"But the sooner we get this done, the sooner you can rest!" Now he was the one who crossed his arms over his chest, clearly dissatisfied with your answer.

"Where do you want to start? Hmm?" He didn't know. He flattened his ears and pressed his lips together. You were tired, he could see that. However, he would like to be big again. "Let's do this, you give me night to sleep, and I won't force you to do a private fashion show for me. Because you know, I have a lot of clothes and other costumes. I even saw a lolita dress on the bag."

Eventually, you managed to talk Satoru into slowing down for a while. After you ate the cookies, you made some tea and closed your eyes for a moment.

"don't sleep!" Your little companion woke you up from a light nap you had fallen into. You yawned, stretching, and looked at him with a slight smile.

"Okay, time to wash up." With that you stood up and went to the kitchen. Gojo saw you take out a red pot and go to the bathroom with it.

"Do you want me to get in the pot?!" Gojo was now sitting on your shoulder, holding onto your ear for safety.

"do you have a better idea?"

"Shower? Bathtub?" You rolled your eyes knowing that none of that would work. And you only had a bathtub. It's probably true that when a person sees something small and cute, logic turns off and the need to protect the little one turns on. You were simply afraid that Gojo would drown.

"I'm not going to waste water just on you in the tub." You replied coldly.

""I'm not getting into the pot! Forget it! I'll stink but I'm not getting into the pot! NO!"

BMW M1 Turbo (the extraordinary case of the BMW M1 with 1000 hp)

Ignore the livery. Or don’t ignore it. Like with every other Jägermeister racing car, it might be hard to actually walk past this orange beast without giving the standout paint job at least one glance. It was designed to attract attention, just how Günter Mast — the man that gave his OK to race cars with the famous stag on the bonnet — intended. The truth of the matter is, however, that this particular car’s convoluted history is as complicated as the story of the BMW M1 itself. Therefore this car is not what it seems to be, as the orange Jägermeister livery stems from the imagination of the man that rebuilt the car, the legendary M1 whisperer Fritz Wagner. And if you ask anyone at Jägermeister headquarters about the car, they will potentially reply with a polite letter from their legal department. To paraphrase Samuel Beckett: there’s nothing funnier than tragedy. And so, the story of the BMW M1 could be perceived as one of the automotive world’s funniest. The car was originally designed with the ambition to create the greatest, mid-engined racing car of all time. One that would beat Porsche’s dominating 935 in the all-important Group 5. A masterpiece made of speed and German reliability which, in reality, became a car that had to be reverse engineered to be sold for the road. All because of changes in racing rules and homologation, which stipulated how many cars had to be produced before a particular model was allowed to hit the track. The production number of 400 cars — which seems so minuscule by today’s standards — turned out to be the first problem on a long list of unfolding disasters.

In essence, the life of this beautiful, light, well-made machine that had been designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, who reworked Paul Bracq’s original prototype, was plagued by bad luck and bad decisions. The fact that Lamborghini — who were supposed to produce it at their factory — went bust because of copyright fraud and embezzlement of funds didn’t help. However, it was the rushed solution to disperse production all over Europe that was the final nail in the coffin. Marchese built the car's tube frame, TIR molded the fiberglass, Italdesign mated the two and installed the interior, then the M1 was shipped from Italy to Stuttgart, where Baur would in­stall the BMW hardware, after which in Munich BMW Motor­sports would do the final touches and quality control. It made the M1 almost a quarter more expensive than any equivalent Ferrari or Lambo sold at the time. Case closed.

British generals in the second world war would often joke that Germans were not very good when it came to Plan B. This might be true. In the end, even if BMW’s head of Motorsport Jochen Neerpasch, the brilliant man that he is, thought of a way to market the M1 with the Procar series, in which F1 drivers like Niki Lauda, Clay Regazzoni, and Nelson Piquet would race the cars against privateers, as a prelude to the weekend's Formula 1 race, too few examples were made for the car to ever officially leave Group 4 as was originally intended. Later on, those teams who managed to finally race in Group 5, years after BMW abandoned the programme in order to enter to F1, found the M1 simply uncompetitive. Even the twin-turbocharged models built by Schnitzer, which developed 800 hp and more from their straight six engines, were plagued by problems. his finally brings us to this particular, rather unusual example. It was allegedly built for the famous Walter Brun racing team, who later on won the Group C World Championship with a Jägermeister-liveried Porsche 956. Brun’s friendship with Paul Rosche, the man who turbocharged the BMW 2002, gave rise to the idea of installing the M88 turbo engine originally planned for the March Group-5 car into a modified M1 Procar chassis wrapped into Group 5 bodywork. However, the car was never raced. Why? Even at BMW no one knows. Particularly good news considering that back in the day, when this 1090 kg machine was put on a dyno, it put out 1000 hp and 930 NM of Torque. A reading obtained just before the machine broke while the car apparently still wanted to keep going. Now in the hands of a new owner who intends to race it regularly, it will have plenty of opportunity to shine. And so a new chapter unfolds…

Private House by glut Architektur | via

Designing in Upper Austria presents unique challenges, often revolving around sloping sites and embracing the beauty of the natural surroundings. This common challenge has given rise to a shared characteristic in many Austrian houses: a harmonious blend of the built environment and nature.

In our firm, we continuously seek fresh expressions of this design characteristic, finding innovation within our rich traditions. One early project from 2018 exemplifies our approach to these challenges. The building gracefully embeds itself in the landscape, featuring the entrance and garage on the first floor, level with the street, while the ground floor remains concealed from the main road.

This thoughtful orientation creates a distinct separation between private and semi-public spaces. The street-facing façade exudes elegance with turning gray panels, limiting its permeability. The only glass opening is placed next to the main entrance, providing glimpses through the building. Privacy for the client is carefully maintained by locating all private spaces downstairs, away from the street, while offices and garages occupy the first floor, spaces that require less privacy.

The private face of the building welcomes an abundance of natural light and garden views through generous floor-to-ceiling windows. A beautiful rustic stone façade adorns the ground floor, juxtaposing the clean renders of the rest of the building, harmoniously bridging the gap between nature and the built environment. This integration of stone façade extends into the interior, further connecting the garden with the internal spaces.

As architects, our responsibility lies in constantly reimagining and exploring new solutions, not confining ourselves to the past but allowing fresh ideas to emerge from our treasured traditions. This project is a testament to our commitment to innovation and our deep respect for the natural beauty that surrounds us.

Chill day ideas for the season 2 boys bc they desperately need a break from the nonstop drama

June

He comes across a stray cat on the island and it follows him around all day

He spends the day shadowing JJ to see if he ever actually does have appointments to do

He has to remodel the gardens and gives MC a say on everything from what flowers to plant to whether he should add a fountain

He inspects the kitchen to see if it's being properly maintained and free of any pests. He does find one, but it's a hermit crab

K has a day full of bad luck while June watches off to the side with some popcorn

Staff kahoot night. Winner gets to decide on the menu for the next week. A vegan wins JJ may or may not cry

He needs to refurnish some of the guest rooms, but knows jack shit about interior design

He's trying to put together a new theme for his phone and has MC tell him all her favorite things and send him a selfie. All the staff think he's typing away at his phone for work and try to sneak a peak at what he's ordering to be sent to the island

He has to taste test everything the kitchen staff may want to make in the future. He overeats and debates whether to call Henri or save himself the lecture and find his own solution

One of the staff gets pregnant and June has to research what she'll need to be comfortable and order them to the island. He also orders more food to be able to satisfy any cravings she might have later and every one of his predictions is wrong

Henri

He gets a patient who reminds him of MC and gets all mushy during the calls

He takes himself out to lunch for once, does some people watching, and curses all the couples

He gets a mild cold and uses it as an opportunity to test MC's knowledge of home remedies

He and MC try to decide on pet names for each other. He loves every one she picks, but says he doesn't just to fuck with her

He and MC dream up an imaginary future life together. They talk about what sort of house they'll have, any pets, any kids, whether they want to own or lease a house, whether they want to settle down or travel, etc

He treats himself through MC, telling her all the things he wished people would say to him

He goes and does something his family would never approve of. He decides to get a tattoo and MC helps him pick

He has to go to some formal event and spends the whole time playing a game where he sneaks selfies to MC and makes fun of the other guests for being so snooty and hypocritical. He spills enough tea to MC that she could make a tv show out of it

He and MC each decide what the other will eat that day and they both pick stuff the other would hate. During the bedtime chat, they find out they both cheated and ate whatever they wanted

MC reads/watches a story that emotionally destroys her and Henri walks her through the media grieving process, teasing her the whole time

[loving-n0t-heyting]

Imagine that we as a species suddenly encounter some new and acutely horrible infectious parasite. Doesn’t kill, exactly, not right away, but causes constant and excruciating pain and cognitive/emotional deterioration. And it’s horribly infectious. It’s just the worst!

So we could kill them all, the drugs exist, but instead, out of the abundant kindness of our hearts, putting every buddhist monk to shame, we instead do our best to try and communicate to them in worm-ese: please, please just fucking stop. Ofc that doesn’t work, so we resort to the next most divinely merciful thing: individually isolate and house the great mass of these parasites in a little enclave, sometimes alone but more often with a bunch of other wriggly bloodsucking friends, filled with nutrients and artificial stimulation, away from vulnerable human flesh. Until suddenly, one day, one of the parasites breaks free of its bell jar as tho by magic, pulling others out with it, and starts wreaking havoc once more on humanity

Again, we could kill them all! Would be a piece of cake! But instead, we create a giant container to contain all the other containers still remaining, to wait and see if any of these others are able to pull this same bit of invertebrate!Houdini trickery. Or at least, most of us do. There’s an eccentric, tho, who tries a different tack. Bc he cares about these little fuckers. They are his special little buddies. Instead he picks one, his precious little fucking nightmare pet, to bring back into his own privately maintained demon habitat, doing his best to communicate with a tiny little worm puppet he crafted specifically to interact with the bastard. Waits for it to spawn younglings so he can set up them with their own living quarters. He even arranges a sort of pen pal programme where the worm can wiggle and get wiggled at by its monstrous broodmates, and eventually finds them all a particularly dangerous conspecific roommate, all the while tending to its every need thru the puppet.

Why? Why does he maintain this ludicrous arrangement with a little worm boasting fewer brain cells than he has has taste buds? Bc he is going to teach it to talk, and then converse with it to see how the other worm could have escaped, and build a way forward for the two species to live in harmony. It’s insane, ofc. Nobody takes him seriously bc it’s the stupidest idea they’ve ever heard. Any number of snide remarks are made by his colleagues (as much as anything bc they see in him their failures). But it works!! One of his ~100 iterations bred from the first manages to learn to speak in human speech! It’s a fucking miracle! And so he presses on with it, showing it the damage the outbreak has caused, pleading to help him find a solution to keep both species in safety and comfort

And what does this little platyhelminth bitch do? How does this pampered little tapeworm ingrate respond to these overtures of inter-phylum peace? Tells him it thinks the one to mysteriously break free was a hottie, that he should have somehow asked permission and better collaborated on the interior design of the terrarium with it before it had the gift of fucking language to convey its wants, that he was tooooo pushy in trying to talk about how to avoid species-wide relentless torture, and now its going to use what it learned in conversation to a) kill him and ii) escape to cause the plague to end all human plagues. And it does it! While he’s prone and vulnerable and screaming for mercy and avowing his confusion and refusing to defend himself, it fucking does it!!

God what an entitled little fucking bitch

Welcome to the Black Masquerade Character Quests

CW: Live a Hero Spoilers

No pics so I'll just keep it short in sweet because

Nessen

Not too much happens in Nessen's quest. Per usual, he's enjoying the baths and admiring all the details of the interiors and hopes to bring the Cloges craftsmen to his inn to update. Additionally he got into a very deep conversation about Cloges hospitality with the innkeeper. Game recognizes game. He says he feels comfortable talking with us about his passions. He's also learned a lot about himself during this trip. Particularly, he always put the customer first, but has learned he needs to have fun himself.

He then says he wants to convey something to us and asks us to transform him. He then grabs our hands and engages us in a dance. We comment how we thought he couldn't dance, and he says this form helps as his desire to dance with us seems to help him. He removes his mask as a symbolism of finally conveying his true feelings that he enjoys spending time with us and will offer us exceptional hospitality as we dance the night away.

Yohack

Next to our frosted cinnamon roll. He brought us every snack that was available at the festival as he wants us to taste all of Cloges' specialties. We comment how cute he is eating, which embarrasses him. He says how happy he is that he accepted this job as he was finally able to find out what really happened with his parents and know Astosis more than what he presented. Yohack reiterates how even though he was sad to leave, he met his master, who was a locksmith and helped him carve his path forward in life as well as his mantra. He also says that he ate too much and we should burn off the calories and invites us to dance with him.

After a while he say he's hot, but we're cold. So as a solution we both embrace each other and comment how soft and fluffy he is. Yohack says that his race's coat is designed to insulate heats which backfires during the summer months. We thank him which catches him off guard as he doesn't get thanked very often, but he is happy to be super handy to people. We then catch him off guard again by saying that we enjoy spending time with him. Yohack says he feels the same way and if we ever need anything, we can always rely on them. After admiring Luna, we end the quest by falling asleep at each other's side.

Astosis

Seems both MC and LW are hellbent on wanting us to forgive and move so I guess we're speeding up our forgiveness plans early. So side notes, I'm not sure if the translation is off, but it seems MC decided to a bit longer than what was originally thought. Astosis is surprised to see us and asked if we were waiting for them, which we confirm. Seems the townsfolk as well as several townsfolk ripped him a new one for being so reckless. However, given that he acted under extenuating circumstances, he was released with punishment pending. He said that Nessen's idea of him signing to his agency looks like it will come true. He asks he we could join him to the old museum (aka the castle) which he escorts us to.

Pauderna is on display in its full glory. Astosis comments how it feels like a cursed object as it was responsible for both his father's death, Yohack's parents being falsely accused, and learning Chassard's true nature. However, he also said because of this he was able to meet us, who changed everything for the better. He said he doesn't get to express himself like this often as he admits he doesn't have many friends, and it scares him to place his full trust and belief in someone as he always wonders if their hiding something.

He asks us to hold his hand and he says it's difficult for him to convey his thoughts and his fears, before dismissing this and childish and selfish before pulling away his hand. MC ain't having none of that, immediately grabs his hand back and hugs Astosis. We remind Astosis there are other ways to express one's feel. Astosis thanks us by kissing the backing of our hand, hugging us back with his embrace softening as time goes by. We end the quest, dancing with Astosis in the moonlit night with MC taking the lead this time.

So there you have it! We won't see Astosis or Yohack again until the Valentine Special Quests. I'm probably not going to summarize either the Housamo or Live a Hero Christmas events UNLESS Marduk or Pubraseer are on the banner respectively. Then you bet your ass i will have those up in hours.

How to Design the Perfect Reading Nook

Creating a reading nook in your home isn’t just about setting up a chair and stacking books. It’s about crafting a sanctuary that reflects your personal style, meets your functional needs, and offers the ultimate space for relaxation and immersion in the world of words. For more inspiration on interior design, visit Kasapros.

1. Choosing the Right Location

The first step in creating a reading nook is selecting the perfect spot. While the options may seem endless, here are a few key considerations:

Natural Light is Key

Why it Matters: Natural light enhances mood, reduces eye strain, and creates an inviting atmosphere.

How to Use It: Place your reading nook near a window to take advantage of sunlight. A sunny spot not only provides excellent lighting for reading but also creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Alternative Ideas: If a window seat isn’t an option, consider using an area with good overhead lighting or add a stylish floor lamp to brighten up the space.

Quiet Corners

Importance of Tranquility: A peaceful setting helps you focus on reading without distractions.

Finding the Spot: Look for a quiet area in your home where you can retreat from the hustle and bustle. This could be an unused corner in the living room, a section of the bedroom, or even a cozy spot under the stairs.

Enhancing Quietness: If your home is noisy, soundproofing options like thick curtains or a decorative room divider can help create a sense of solitude.

2. Selecting Comfortable Seating

Comfort is paramount in a reading nook. The right seating makes all the difference in how much you’ll enjoy spending time there.

Types of Seating Options

Armchairs: A plush armchair with armrests is a classic choice. Look for options with good lumbar support for prolonged reading sessions.

Chaise Lounges: Perfect for those who like to stretch out while reading. Add a soft throw blanket for extra coziness.

Built-in Benches: Window seats or built-in benches with cushions offer a permanent and charming solution for a reading nook.

Choosing the Right Materials

Fabric Choices: Opt for soft, durable fabrics like cotton or microfiber.

Luxurious Touches: If you’re aiming for a high-end look, consider velvet or leather.

Accessories: Don’t forget to add a mix of throw pillows for both comfort and style.

3. The Importance of Lighting

Lighting plays a crucial role in creating an inviting and functional reading nook. Poor lighting can strain your eyes and diminish the cozy vibe.

Layered Lighting Approach

Task Lighting: A focused light source, such as a table lamp or adjustable floor lamp, ensures you can read comfortably.

Ambient Lighting: Use wall sconces or string lights to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Natural Lighting: Maximize daylight with sheer curtains or blinds that can be adjusted throughout the day.

Light Temperature

Warm White Bulbs: Choose warm white bulbs (2700K-3000K) for a relaxing and cozy environment.

Avoid Harsh Lighting: Stay away from overly bright or cool-toned lights, which can feel stark and uninviting.

4. Adding Storage for Books and Accessories

No reading nook is complete without ample storage for books and reading essentials. Here are some creative storage solutions:

Built-In Shelving

Advantages: Built-in shelves around your nook create a library-like feel and maximize vertical space.

Styling Tips: Use the top shelves for decorative items like plants or framed artwork to enhance the aesthetic.

Portable Options

Flexible Solutions: A small book cart or ladder shelf can be a flexible and stylish addition.

Hidden Storage: Consider baskets or storage ottomans for stashing blankets, magazines, or even a tablet.

Minimalist Approach

Wall-Mounted Shelves: For smaller spaces, wall-mounted shelves or floating shelves can keep your collection organized without taking up floor space.

5. Creating a Cozy Atmosphere

The ambiance of your reading nook is just as important as its functionality. Here are some tips to make it feel warm and inviting:

Soft Textures

Layered Comfort: Layer your seating with plush cushions and a chunky knit blanket.

Underfoot Comfort: Add a soft area rug underfoot for an extra touch of coziness.

Colors and Patterns

Relaxing Palettes: Choose soothing colors like soft neutrals, pastels, or earthy tones to promote relaxation.

Visual Interest: Incorporate patterns sparingly through pillows or curtains to add depth without overwhelming the space.

Personal Touches

Decorative Accents: Decorate with items that inspire you, such as framed quotes, artwork, or travel souvenirs.

Functional Decor: A small side table with a scented candle or a vase of fresh flowers can enhance the cozy vibe.

6. Incorporating Greenery

Adding plants to your reading nook brings a sense of calm and improves air quality. Here are some ideas:

Best Plants for a Reading Nook

Snake Plant: Low-maintenance and great for indoor air purification.

Pothos: A trailing plant that adds a touch of elegance.

Peace Lily: Perfect for low-light areas.

Styling Tips

Placement Ideas: Place a small plant on your side table or a larger one in a decorative pot on the floor.

Unique Options: Use a hanging planter or wall-mounted plant holder for a unique look.

7. Enhancing Functionality

While comfort and style are important, functionality should not be overlooked.

Multi-Functional Furniture

Storage Solutions: Choose furniture that doubles as storage, like an ottoman with a hidden compartment.

Workspace Integration: A small desk or foldable table can serve as a spot for jotting down notes or working on a laptop.

Technology Integration

Convenient Charging: Install an outlet nearby for charging devices.

E-Reader Ready: If you’re an e-reader fan, keep a charging dock or cable handy.

8. Designing for Small Spaces

Even if you’re short on space, you can still create a beautiful reading nook. Here’s how:

Space-Saving Furniture

Compact Seating: Use a corner chair with a narrow profile.

Wall-Mounted Shelves: Consider wall-mounted shelves instead of freestanding ones.

Optical Illusions

Mirror Magic: Use mirrors to make the space feel larger.

Light Curtains: Light, airy curtains can make a small nook feel more open.

Multi-Purpose Areas

Closet Transformation: Turn an unused closet into a reading nook by removing the door and adding cushions and shelves.

Unconventional Spaces: Use a section of your hallway or stair landing for a compact and cozy nook.

9. Seasonal Updates

Keep your reading nook fresh and exciting by making seasonal changes.

Winter

Cozy Up: Add heavier blankets and warm tones like deep reds or browns.

Magical Touch: Incorporate string lights for a festive feel.

Summer

Light and Airy: Opt for light, breathable fabrics and bright, cheerful colors.

Natural Accents: Add a vase of fresh flowers for a summery vibe.

10. Inspiration from Real-Life Examples

Here are some creative examples to inspire your design:

The Window Seat Retreat: A built-in bench under a large bay window with a view, surrounded by bookshelves.

Rustic Corner: A reclaimed wood armchair with a plaid throw, paired with a vintage floor lamp.

Modern Minimalist: A sleek leather chair, a geometric side table, and monochromatic decor.

Final Thoughts

Designing the perfect reading nook is a blend of comfort, style, and personal expression. By considering factors like location, seating, lighting, and decor, you can create a space that’s not only functional but also a joy to spend time in. Whether you’re a casual reader or a dedicated bookworm, your reading nook can become a cherished retreat within your home.

The final bits of the lvl 88 MSQ I have thoughts on are the dungeon and the trial.

Ktisis Hyperboreia was a little less impactful for me compared to all of the other dungeons in Endwalker.

Zot had the really cool interior design and final boss, Babil had the really cool train set piece that lead into the tower and Anima, which narratively led perfectly into what came next, Vanaspati had the scale, tension and awesome monster designs.

Eventhough Ktisis gave you the chance to run a dungeon with the ancients and explore an ancient facility, only the final leg of the dungeon had a setting and a boss I found to be pretty cool: while the rest wasn't bad, it also wasn't as cool and interesting as some other encounters before it.

It was a cool idea that really deserved more interesting execution in my eyes.

So how does The Atiascope compare to them all?

Well, The Atiascope is equally a feast on the eyes as well as lore brain.

I think it is probably the best-looking dungeon of the game so far and I can't wait to see it with the graphical update.

We actually see what the Aetherial Sea approximately looks like, and the echoes of the souls of our friends accompany us on our way to Hydaelyn.

I think how souls work here also explains the apoearances of Haurchefant and Y'sayle when Estinien is freed from Niddhog's eyes. It's trace of their (memory) aether still not having moved on to the sea proper.

Sometimes the big lore dungeons can be less interesting mechanically than narratively (I love Amaurot, but feel like the cool monster designs deserved more interesting mechanics), but I think I enjoyed all of the bosses in the Atiascope because they gave new twists to old foes.

Livia, Rhitahtyn and Amon all had really neat twists to their fighting style and attacks.

I like the positioning with Livia.

I like opening up the safe spot for the walls Rhitahtyn creates. Shields as weapons is always such a neat concept to me.

And Shiva creating the ice block for Amon's attack is one of coolest story-gameplay integration moments in the game for me.

What a fantastic idea.

Between the bosses, the souls we see are:

- Papalymo, with Ilberd as a strong mob to take down.

- Haurchefant, who gives us a buff.

- Minfilia, who we see creating the way forward at some point.

- And of course, as mentioned Shiva/Y'sayle, who creates the ice block to protect you from Amon's attack.

The cutscene after the dungeon gives us closure on Amon, which I already went into in another post here, but it also gives closure on Asahi.

I love how the hatred between Asahi and Alphinaud is mutual.

"Likewise I hope we do not meet again."

In the cutscene before the trial, Hydaelyn sums up the character arcs and struggles everyone has gone through and also restates that she ultimately sundered reality for humanity to have a chance against Meteion, for which they need the ability to manipulate Dynamis.

And most crucially she restates that what she did caused much suffering; it was simply her solution to the problem of humanity's survival, not the morally optimal option out of any of the solutions the ancients could find. And I think that's my favourite part of her story.

She implemented the best solution she could think of that would preserve humanity's future, and it was still imperfect and caused much pain.

And then we get to the trial itself.

Which was a little bit of a let down in my eyes because Zodiark was so good.

It's, again, great on the lore level because we see all of these iconic elements associated with her character used in the fight.

We see her as an all-rounder fighter, then must defeat the crystals styled after the ones we initially get from her and finally, we see her create mini Floods of Light.

However, I don't find it particularly unique mechanically.

I still like it, I just don't find it mindblowing.

What I like about her farewell afterwards (this also applies to the cutscene before the fight), is that we get to address her as Venat because I think the real intention with her characterisation in Endwalker was to humanise her.

Not necessarily to make her good or bad morally, but to give her beliefs she acts upon with conviction.

I see the intention behind her character as that of an incredibly strong, but still imperfect woman put into a difficult situation, who fought for the future of humanity with all of her might.

And I think she deserves to be sent off as that "human" woman, not the "goddess" she became.

And finally, here is where I mention the details that the Labyrinthos/Atiascope section uses to bring the story full circle: the Dalamud shards, which were a symbol of the Seventh Umbral Calamity are now used to save humanity along with the Mothercrystal, which has been a stand-in/symbol for Hydaelyn for so long, is used as a fuel to travel to Meteion.

Once again, I think it's all just really well done.

And with the next quest I'm at being the first lvl 89 quest, I'm officially in the final stretch of 6.0.

I was planning to get to it today, but I think I also have other plans today and the next few days, so I'll see how it works out time-wise.

Aiming for it in the upcoming days/week for sure, though.

Hils Watches Goblin - Ep 5

It's interesting that the first time we see him properly in pain from the sword is right after he realises he's starting to fall in love with Eun Tak. There's definitely some sort of metaphor about his heart. Also, look at this gothic aesthetic. THIS is what I thought the whole drama was going to be like

Honestly I would watch a whole drama about Eun Tak helping ghosts, and them helping her too. All while her dork goblin boyfriend is in the background trying to be cool and impress her

She's so sweet. Filled up the fridge and then tidied the room too so the ghost's mother won't see all the mess

I love that he makes fun of the goblin and his relationship but totally fails as well. The are both such cringefail dorks

And now they're bonding over being cringefail dorks

Magically blowing out all those candles at once is definitely going to set off the hotel smoke alarm

This is such a stupid idea. 'I'll hang out with her until the first snow and then get her to kill me before I really fall in love with her and no longer want to die'. Absolutely no flaws there. Genius plan.

YAY! She's finally moving in with her boyfriend and her boyfriend's boyfriend. I wonder how long it will be before the grim reaper finds out that the woman he likes it Eun Tak's boss

I love that he's still acting like he wants Kim Shin to die. He's not fooling anyone.

These two arguing about interior design reminds me of that bit in The Man From UNCLE (movie) where Napoleon and Ilya are arguing about women's fashion

Grim Reaper looking positively scandalised that Kim Shin is inviting Eun Tak into his bed on the first night

Oh my god there was only one bed! Look at his little face he is totally trying to woo his way into the Grim Reaper's bed

Aww look at them having pillow talk in separate beds

Aww and now they're cooking together. Not sure I could stomach steak and salad for breakfast though

They are both so ridiculous and I love them

Aww now the grim reaper can call Sunny. I wonder how long it will be before he gets upset and freezes his phone

Aww he's asking Eun Tak to help give him a name. Why is this so cute?

I know you're busy studying but please kill me. I love that he's bribing her with tasty food and also respecting that she's trying to study for her exams

Is...is he wearing an agender shirt??

Aww she's flirting with the grim reaper to try and make Kim Shin jealous. You know what the solution to a love triangle is... (not that this is one but still she should be allowed to flirt with them both)

Eun Tak and the grim reaper are besties after one conversation. I love this

Grim Reaper is like 'this is better than any tv drama'

Look at this 900+ year old immortal hiding in his bedroom because he accidentally called himself Eun Tak's boyfriend

Yes, welcome not just to this restaurant but to the entire province of Quebec

Yes, that is definitely what will happen. Idiot.
