[extremely biased Dorian romancer voice] Guys, I think we won.
I know it's more common to hear that Solas romancers won - and after seeing how much extra content they got (additional dialogue trees with the Inquisitor and a whole alternate ending with a kiss), I can definitely see why.
But that's the thing - I've seen Solas romancers utterly split on if they liked this extra content or not. I've seen takes ranging from, "oh, I'm so glad I finally got my happy ending!" to "what the hell? This is awful!"
I've seen people heaping endless praise onto Solas' characterization. I've seen people deeply upset over Solas' characterization. I've seen people who think the Inquisitor vowing to save Solas is the most romantic thing ever. I've seen people who hate how the writing portrayed the Inquisitor as hopeless, blinded by love, and shadowed by Solas' dynamic with Mythal.
Case being... the fanbase is polarized. Some people won, but some people lost very, very bad. I've noticed the latter with those who had Inquisitors that romanced Solas, but wound up angry and vowing to stop him.
So, back to my first point. How did Dorian romancers "win"? For lack of a better term.
Well, for one, we got more content than every other romance (barring Solas'). I'm mad on behalf of the other romances, but there's no denying we made it out VERY lucky in that regard. Could it have been better? Yeah. But honestly, in comparison to Hawke talking about their romanced companion, I feel like we won. Not a huge win (Warden Alistair's dialogue about the HoF was a MASSIVE win), but a pretty good victory nonetheless.
Romance wise we got: direct, in-character interaction that alludes to Trespasser's conflict with the anchor secretly killing the Inquisitor. Sweet idle dialogue from Dorian. An immensely touching letter from Dorian that logically concludes his character arc from Inquisition (with him no longer being allergic to The L Word!). And we even got a Dorian romanced Inquisitor implying that he's up in Minrathous enough to consider himself a source of information for the Inquisition.
Generally, we got: Dorian being written in character (this is helped by him showing up as a side character and not a main one... less questionable decisions), with notable development stemming from what was planted in Inquisition (working through emotional repression, abolition and enacting societal change, etc). The option to make Dorian Archon or not, allowing for the player to decide what future they want for him. The Inquisitor wearing the Shadow Dragon casual outfit and arranging meetings in Dock Town of all places. Both of them surviving to the end of Veilguard. Both of them working and fighting together in the finale to save Minrathous and stop the gods despite the Inquisitor's duties in the south. Heavy implications that Dorian and the Inquisitor have been talking off screen about Rook and about recent events. Vague timeline that allows for several headcanons to fit - like, are they married? Engaged? Idk. How often does the Inquisitor visit? Well, often enough to consider himself a direct source of information, but with recent events, he and Dorian have been forced to use the calling crystals and write letters over the course of weeks... so really, it's up to you.
What we didn't get: Maybe a dialogue tree during Rook's conversations with the Inquisitor. Uhhh, there's one optional dialogue response if you're too formal with the Inquisitor where he calls Dorian an old friend. Which Dorian also does to the Inquisitor in Trespasser. Literally the same exact wording of "old friend". I can't be too mad over a such a funny oversight happening again. In the exact same way. But this time easily avoidable.
TL;DR - We got a lot of wins, a lack of divisive content, and a generally happy fanbase. That, and the Inquisitor and Dorian standing next to each other. Oh, the screenshots to be had. The whimsy of it all.

Byakuya Kuchiki - (Oneshot): Soulmate.
Work Count: 2k+ Enjoy! :)
You figured it was only a matter of time before those annoying reapers came looking for you.
Your grandmother always told you your power would draw attention.
After avoiding that asshole Aizen, you figured you had less worries. But your short temper had resulted in a burst of reiatsu, and now you were bound with a kido at your wrists as they led you into the first division of the Gotei 13.
“Head Captain.”
The reaper reported as he brought you to the center. All the captains were lined up, and you stopped right at the entrance as all eyes turned to you. When the reaper left, you just sent an unimpressed look in their direction.
They were so naive, did they think they’d actually captured you? The only reason you hadn’t put up a fight was because you didn’t have the money to rebuild your place again if a battle broke out. That arrancar that came for you learned the hard way, but you were the one that ended up homeless for a few months.
“What a hassle.”
“Do you understand the reason that you were brought to the Soul Society?”
You frowned at the older male’s words.
You recognized him too.
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto.
He looks older now.
“You lost the sad ponytail old man.”
Your statement caused his eyes to open, and you realized the moment he took a good look at you, he recognized.
“(L/N).”
You just nod. After all, he knew your grandmother well. You were practically a clone of her when she was your age.
Temper included.
“My grandmother was on board with the whole protect the world arrangement you both had, but I don’t share that sentiment. I would like to be left alone. I have no interest in forming an alliance with anyone. Especially reapers.”
Your words didn’t earn very happy expressions.
“Leave me be, and I’ll do the same for all of you.”
Those were your terms.
“You dare speak so casually to the Head Captain.” The words of the dark haired reaper that was now glaring at you made your eyes harden.
“I have no loyalties to the old bastard.”
His stance adjusted and when he reached for the sword, you remained calm.
“Come.”
One simple instruction and he’d landed at your side. The other captains in the room look startled when he stood at your side almost protectively, sword now faced to his comrades threateningly.
“Kuchiki-taicho!” Toshiro called, but gained nothing but a harsh look. He was acting as though they were the enemies now.
There weren't even any noticeable changes to his body, yet it was clear that somehow you’ve easily manipulated his actions.
Mayuri seems intrigued.
“How interesting.”
He was grinning too widely for someone who’s comrade had just been practically taken hostage.
Yamamoto didn’t even seem impressed. Clearly he remembers the gifts your grandmother possessed.
“You are just as ill tempered as Shirayuki.”
Yamamoto stated.
He should have expected as much.
“Release my reaper.”
He instructed.
“If you agree to keep your reapers away from me, I’ll leave and you’ll never have to worry about me again.”
“I cannot do that.”
You huffed, agitated. You were hoping you could at least bargain, but he was just as stubborn as your grandmother had told you.
Clearly your tactic to blackmail him wasn’t going to work.
“Just great.”
Looks like you don't need grumpy over here anymore.
“Kuchiki.”
Byakuya turned at the call, and you lifted your hand to snap and release him, but you were pleasantly surprised when he stepped forward, placing a hand on your cheek. Your eyes widened when he leaned down, kissing you passionately.
Everyone in the room was staring and your face turned fifty shades of red as you pulled back, pressing the back of your hand to your lips in alarm. He looked completely dazed and you could barely form words. You’d fallen right onto your butt, and when he tried to approach again, you snapped your fingers.
“R-Release!!”
He blinked, and stopped in place, looking no different. When his eyes casted on your form, he seemed a bit confused, clearly trying to figure out when he’d move or why you were on the ground looking at him with such an expression. His eyes moved back to the captains who wore similarly shocked expressions.
“I-It’s not possible he..”
You were still trying to make sense of it, the only recollection you have of such a thing happening was the one instance that she warned you of.
“Our abilities are very strong, there is however a force that can break from the control we have”
Now you’re intrigued.
“What is it?”
Your grandmother looked serious for a moment, but the second you saw the way she was beaming, you could pretty much guess the answer.
“True love of course!!”
You just looked away, annoyed.
“There’s no such thing, quit messing around.”
She waved her finger around.
“Don’t be cynical. There’s only one person that can truly combat the effects and that’s your soul mate. They react very differently to our spiritual pressure, so when you find that person, hold onto them tightly.”
You thought it was a myth, a ploy. She liked to play pranks like that on you. Especially when she’d realized you both had the same capabilities.
“T-This can’t be…”
There’s no way your soul mate was that emotionally stunted brick wall. You wouldn’t accept this, not at all.
You dropped to your knees, holding out your wrists in surrender.
“I-I GIVE UP!! I’LL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT JUST KEEP THAT PSYCHO AWAY FROM ME!!”
And that was how you became the soul reapers lap dog.
It was purely bad luck on your part, but you didn’t have much of a choice. You’d formed an alliance and agreed to help with any disruptions in the world of the living. Since you weren’t exactly normal, you weren’t looking forward to ducking the scumbags for the next couple hundred years of your life.
“This sucks.”
Every time you remembered the encounter you got irritated.
All that work was for nothing. You almost can’t believe it.
You’ve been asked to report any activity to Kisuke. That’s the reason behind your sour mood. The only thing worse than working with the reapers was talking to that poorly dressed idiot.
“(L/N)-san, what a nice surprise.”
He was wearing that stupid grin and you just wanted to plant your foot into his face. Ichigo stepped forward, and you realized that it was one of those days. Today you’d have to go to the soul society.
Just great.
As if your day wasn’t already sucky enough.
~Soul Society~
Three of the captains stood right outside the entrance to the Sekaimon.
“Waiting for your girlfriend Kuchiki-taicho~”
Shinji’s teasing words earned nothing but a glare from Byakuya. Ukitake just laughed softly.
“Now, now, let’s not get too rowdy.”
Shinji made a habit of riling up Byakuya which wasn’t the best given his temperament.
At the start Byakuya was unaware of why the Head Captain enlisted not one but three captains to pick you up from the Seikaimon, but after he’d seen the destruction you caused when you got into that scuffle with Kenpachi, well, it became obvious.
“Is that all you got!!”
Kenpachi lifted his blade, and when he saw you lift your fist, he expected a head on attack.
“Destroy.”
One single word from you had leveled all the trees behind him. He’d just barely dodged what looked like a circular disk that went flying in his direction. When it hit the building behind, Kenpachi grinned, because you held a sword that looked like an exact replica of his own.
The both of you had just seemed to get started when Byakuya showed up and ultimately parted the fight. Not that it took much. You’d been heated in the battle, but the second you saw him you wore a weird expression and pretty much retreated like a scared kitten screaming…
“K-KEEP THAT PSYCHO AWAY FROM ME!!”
Ironic considering you’d previously been battling an actual psycho.
Byakuya’s eyes shifted ahead as he tried to recall what the others had told him. The main reason behind Shinji’s constant teasing.
“I kissed her.”
Shinji was grinning when he said it, and Ukitake seemed awkward. Shinsui wore a similar smirk.
“Didn’t realize you were such a loverboy Kuchiki.”
The glare he directed at both men could have destroyed a mountain, yet they continued to laugh at his confused expression.
He didn’t remember any of it.
Maybe that’s what bothered him the most. He recalled reaching for his blade, and the next thing he knew, you were on the floor, face red. Since then you’d been diligently working with the Gotei 13 in exchange for no direct interactions with him. When he told the Head Captain he wanted to speak with you, he thought he would object to keep the peace, but he said nothing of the sort.
Only gave him a warning, or was it advice?
“There is a reason that you reacted that way to her spiritual pressure. You are different.”
That’s all he said.
He couldn’t make much of the words, so he decided that he needed to go right to the source. When the Sekaimon opened, they all turned, and his eyes directed at the two bodies that stepped through. Ichigo’s hair was a dead give away. The second the light faded he caught your eyes.
You recognized him immediately and just like that, your face was red.
“W-WHAT IS HE DOING HERE!!”
You looked alarmed, and Ukitake moved to ease your nerves.
“We apologize, Kuchiki-taicho has requested to speak with you.”
“We had a deal!!!”
You were fuming and when Ichigo caught that look on your face, he grabbed you from behind covering your mouth.
“Would you cut it out!! Are you trying to bring Kenpachi right to us!!”
He wasn’t looking forward to another battle, and truthfully, neither were you. After a moment you deflated and Shinji laughed. Ichigo released you and you grumbled under your breath.
“W-Whatever!! Let’s just get this over with!”
You just needed to see the Head Captain and then you could leave.
Storming ahead, the others followed behind as you made your way through the squad barracks.
“I can’t believe this, that old bastard. He promised he would keep that Kuchiki away from me.”
Every time you looked at him you could feel your heart race. Grabbing the front of your shirt you continued to glare at everything in sight. A few reapers had scrambled when they crossed your path. Both from your looks and the dark energy seeping from your body.
You were so caught up in your own thoughts that you failed to notice a pair of steel eyes on you.
“I make her uneasy.”
Given what he was told, he understood. More than anything he thought he’d be more irritated, but being around you was surprisingly calm, especially given how unhinged your personality seems.
“Why did I kiss you?”
The question made everyone freeze in place, clearly not expecting such a straightforward approach. You turned to him, once again wearing that flustered expression with your mouth agape.
“B-BECAUSE YOU’RE A PERVERT!!!”
With that you disappeared and Ukitake merely sighed.
“It seems you’ve upset her Kuchiki-taciho.”
Byakuya just turned.
“It does not take much to achieve that.”
Shinji laughed at the response.
After your quick escape, you finally landed in the first division, storming through the door. Sasakibe didn’t seem very surprised, and Yamamato lifted his head.
“(L/N).”
“Don’t you give me that!!! You promised you’d keep that Kuchiki captain away from me!! WHY WAS HE AT THE GATE!!”
“He was curious about your abilities.”
“That’s not my problem!! Damn it I knew this would happen!!! I have no idea why my grandmother liked you assholes!! You’re all so detestable!!”
Sasakibe lifted his blade.
“Be respectful in the way you speak to the Head Captain.”
You gritted your teeth and Yamamoto stood. You thought he was about to retaliate, but he didn’t.
“Regardless of your personal feelings, Shirayuki was an ally.”
It pissed you off to hear him say her name so casually, like they were friends. You remembered the encounters when you were younger, so you knew that out of all the members here, he was the one that had the most interaction with her. But hearing her name from his mouth, it was painful.
“If that was true, why didn’t you save her?”
Yamamoto isn’t oblivious to the anger in your eyes. He came to the same conclusion when you first showed up.
“You knew she was getting weaker!! She wasn’t as strong and you let that hollow tear her to pieces!!! WHAT RIGHT DO YOU HAVE TO CALL HER A FRIEND WHEN YOU ABANDONED HER!!”
You were so caught up in your grief that you didn’t realize that Ichigo and the others were right behind you. Your fists were clenched at your side, eyes lowered to the floor.
“All that talk about love and soulmates, it’s garbage…in the end we all just die alone..”
It was a painful realization.
“She did not die alone.”
Your eyes lifted to combat him, but the purple ribbon that he held out, it shocked you. It was similar to the one that was wrapped around his beard. Your eyes shook, because you recognized the ties. Your hand moved shakily to the one that resided in your own hair in shock.
“This ribbon, it’s my favorite. There are only two people in the world who have it. The two most important people in my life. You, and my soulmate. I hope that one day you can find the same love that I did, (Y/N).”
She’d smiled when she said it.
“I-It was you….”
He simply nodded, and your lips quivered as your tears hit the floor.
You couldn’t believe that you’d been so wrong about everything.
It was eye opening.
After the confrontation, Yamamoto had requested that you be escorted back to the Karakura town. You accepted. You didn’t even complain when he assigned Byakuya to carry out the escort.
“From the very beginning, he knew.”
About your abilities, your feelings, your grandmother. It dawns on you that the reason he probably sought you out was probably due to a promise he made to your grandmother to look out for you. This whole time you thought he was just trying to control your whereabouts, but it wasn’t that at all. You suddenly felt foolish for all your complaints. For your statements about love.
You just didn’t want to accept the fact that she was gone. That she’d helped them and it felt like they had just abandoned her.
But you were wrong about that too.
“I’m an idiot.”
This whole arrangement was just a way to ensure that you weren’t alone.
Stepping out of the Sekaimon, you jumped at the top of a building. Byakuya followed behind, fully expecting you to keep going, but you just stood there.
He couldn’t pretend that he hadn’t heard what you said.
“Your grandmother is gone.”
Your eyes looked ahead at the sky. At the very least, he expected a hostile reply, but from the melancholy expression you wore, it’s clear that he wouldn’t get that.
“Yes, she’s been gone for a while.”
Over a hundred years now. It felt like you’d lost her just a few months ago. Living for such a long time tends to distort the perception of time.
For as long as you could remember it was just the two of you. In some weird way you thought it would be like that forever. The two of you just made it through life, but you weren’t naive. She’d lived for about nine hundred years. Most people barely got a hundred years with their loved ones. So it was a bit selfish to expect more.
But you were selfish.
“I understand.”
That was all he said, and for a moment your eyes moved to him. He was looking at you with such an honest expression on his face, almost like he could sympathize with your pain. Not that look of pity people typically gave you when they realized that you were on your own.
For some reason you felt a bit frozen in place.
DOKI!! DOKI!!
Your eyes widened, and you jumped back.
“D-Don’t think this means anything y-you annoying reaper!!!”
With that, you’d flash step, and Byakuya said nothing, just looked at the empty space before a smirk made its way on his lips.

Uncharted Waters
The Outer Banks was a place where the line between privilege and struggle was as distinct as the division between the Pogues and the Kooks. Rafe Cameron, a son of privilege, was known for his wild parties, reckless behavior, and devil-may-care attitude. Y/N L/N, on the other hand, was a Pogue, fiercely independent and determined to make her own way in the world.
Their paths crossed one summer night at a beach bonfire, where sparks flew in more ways than one. Rafe and Y/N were drawn to each other like magnets, and in the heat of the moment, they shared a passionate kiss that ignited a fire neither of them could extinguish.
But they were like oil and water, two people from different worlds, and they both knew it. So, they struck an unusual arrangement, a dangerous dance on the edge of desire and disdain. They became enemies with benefits, seeking solace and pleasure in each other's arms while keeping their hearts locked away.
For months, their secret rendezvous continued, hidden from the judgmental eyes of the Outer Banks' tight-knit community. Their encounters were passionate and intense, fueled by a mixture of lust and resentment. They fought as fiercely as they loved, their arguments echoing through the walls of Rafe's beachfront mansion and Y/N's modest Pogue dwelling.
But beneath the passionate encounters and heated arguments, something deeper was brewing. They couldn't deny the growing attachment, the way their hearts ached when they were apart, and the emptiness that filled them when they weren't tangled in each other's arms.
One stormy night, as the rain poured down outside, Rafe and Y/N found themselves entangled in yet another heated argument, but this time it was different. There was a raw vulnerability in their words, a confession of feelings they had been trying to bury for months.
"I hate you," Rafe shouted, his voice cracking.
Y/N's eyes glistened with unshed tears. "I hate you too," she whispered, her voice barely audible over the thunder.
Their passionate hatred had turned into a passionate love, and they both knew it. But admitting it was a step neither of them was ready to take.
In the days that followed, they tried to distance themselves, to break free from the tangled web they had woven. They went weeks without seeing each other, attempting to return to their normal lives. Yet, the void they left in each other's hearts was impossible to fill.
One night, unable to bear the silence and the longing any longer, Rafe showed up at Y/N's doorstep. His eyes were haunted, his voice trembling as he confessed, "I can't do this anymore, Y/N. I can't pretend I don't care about you."
Y/N's heart raced as she let him in, her own confession trembling on her lips. "I can't either, Rafe. I've tried, but I can't stop loving you."
Their love was a turbulent sea, unpredictable and fierce, but it was undeniable. They knew the journey wouldn't be easy, that their love was fraught with obstacles, but they were willing to navigate the treacherous waters together.
As they held each other in the dimly lit room, the storm outside raged on, echoing the tumultuous love that had brought them to this point. They were no longer enemies with benefits; they were two souls desperately in love, ready to face whatever challenges the Outer Banks threw their way.
Their love story was far from conventional, filled with pain, passion, and uncertainty, but it was theirs, and they were determined to make it work, no matter the odds. In the Outer Banks, where the line between privilege and struggle was blurred by the power of love, Rafe Cameron and Y/N L/N were ready to chart a new course together, into uncharted waters.

The AAFCS was founded as the American Home Economics Association at the Lake Placid Conference of 1909. Participants at the annual conference, who had been meeting annually for 10 years, were passionate about turning the formerly invisible work of women into vibrant arenas for building creative expertise. For the early pioneers of the field, Cornell’s Martha Van Rensselaer and Flora Rose among them, home economics (also known as domestic science and, later, family and consumer sciences) would be a force for liberation. As a newly emerging field of study in land-grant colleges and other educational institutions, it would help women transform practical skills into creative capacity for finding innovative solutions problems that affect both individuals and society as a whole. A key area for this work was the challenge women faced keeping themselves and their families well clothed, despite the hardships of poverty and crises in the national economy.

Through community workshops, live demonstrations at county fairs, and free publications, home economists have sought over the years to help their communities take on the issue of making, maintaining, and repurposing clothing. Teaching children good stitch work was an important start, but the ultimate goal was to grow this basic skill into a nimble ability to refashion unlikely resources, lean household budgets and thread bare clothes included, into fresh elements of a pleasing wardrobe.

Most of the guides to sewing and stitching shown here are available as part of Mann Library’s online Home Economics Archive: Research, Tradition, History (HEARTH) , the Cornell Historical Literature of Agriculture (CHLA), and the Hathi Trust Digital Library. These online repositories offer valuable (yet free!) resources for anyone interested in re-learning the art of making new from old. “Upcycling,” a term first coined in the early 1990s, has become a common word as awareness of more sustainable “slow fashion” principles has grown. What does it mean exactly? According to merriam-webster.com, to upcycle is “to recycle (something) in such a way that the resulting product is of a higher value than the original item : to create an object of greater value from (a discarded object of lesser value).” For (happily) growing numbers of us, upcycling has become a fine craft that combines old traditions and techniques with contemporary style to create uniquely personalized wearable art that also signals a conscious effort to avoid harmful waste and use resources sustainably. With a little bit of mindfulness and maybe some handy “how-to’s found in digitized, freely available historical materials, the old can indeed become some bright new for one and all.

Cosmic Paradox
Before the universe came into being, there was only the unified field of pure potentiality (the Source) that had existed in the undivided state of eternal bliss and wholeness. Infinite awareness is non-conceptual awareness without differentiation or reference points; it knows itself completely and fully within itself.
In this non-localized field of oneness it has not been defined yet. There was no such thing as growth, individuated experiences or distinctions (no 1s and 0s, up and down, gain and loss, before and after, space and time, I and other, male and female, left brain and right brain, pleasure and pain, white and black, growth and entropy, and so forth). Formlessness (nothingness) is not an experience; it is prior to birth and death, division and form. Duality is the construct of consciousness that gives life meaning, something to work and strive for (a sense of purpose).
It is through the dichotomy of division: a perceived thought splitting into two or more thought-forms that the uniqueness of all life occurs (both need to exist). Without this subject and object split being drawn forth from it’s own potential energies, there can be no contrasting experiences (the illusion of space-time, limitation and separation).
Life is a cosmic paradox; it uses a part of itself to understand itself. The one, universal intelligence desiring to know and experience itself through creation (a giant, self-learning hologram) by the process of fragmentation. The godly principle needs a bit of struggle to give each individual aspect of itself the means of being challenged in some way for the sense of purpose and expansion. The excitement to create and participate in its imagined playhouse of unfolding, endless possibilities and clever arrangements of complex thought-patterns (through the vehicles of limited perceptions and points of view) is what keeps creation going.

Areal innovations in Cushitic
A small collection of innovations across Cushitic that don't seem to establish any coarser subclassification: broad phonological changes, plus one of the more prominent grammatical divisions — loss vs. preservation of the prefix conjugation, thought to be already old Afrasian inheritance. This already suffices to distinguish every unambiguous group from each other, even though none of the features are unique to some single group! Hopefully this will illustrate the relative heterogeneity of South and especially East Cushitic.
Loss of pharyngeals and ?introduction of labialized consonants indeed continue to Ethio-Semitic, as shown. (Loss of lateral obstruents, again supposedly Afrasian inheritance, however is not quite areally shared between the two: Cushitic has mainly *ɬ > l, Ethio-Semitic *ɬ > s.) To reiterate, it would be also nice to compare further with North Omotic eventually, it already features prominently in any papers on the Ethiopian Sprachbund; but I've not seen thorough enough comparative coverage to assemble anything analogous to this.
The arrangement of the Cushitic subgroups is roughly geographic, in terms of what's adjacent to what. This ends up kind of showing also the large range of Oromo and Somali, not in a way proportional to the real geography though, e.g. HEC + Konsoid + Dullay + Arboroid are actually all cramped in an area smaller than that of just Beja or just Afar, and Agaw is really multiple language islands mainly within the range of Ethio-Semitic, instead of forming a neat cluster between Oromo and Beja. If I had put Ethio-Semitic in here geographically too, all of it would go in the same area where Agaw is now: between Beja, HEC, Oromo and SA.
Crossfading-to-white for Agaw, Konsoid, Dullay indicates that some of these languages, but not all, have *kʼ > qʼ ~ q ~ ʛ. Dashed lines mark the fairly often proposed Arboroid–Somaloid (Omo–Tana) and Konsoid–Oromo groupings and the possible inclusion of Yaaku in Arboroid.

“Tales of the Shire” by Weta Workshop and Private Division
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/9f229374508c61f970bd6203b4eb6d00/ccb4829a63b9cfee-ae/s540x810/385375b6cbd2530bec1a82d0dcbdc08217aa207d.jpg)
Introduction
Based on Middle-earth created by J. R. Tolkien, a fanciful new game named “Tales of the Shire” Designed by Weta Workshop and released by Private Division, the game which centres on Hobbit life is an interesting and odd experience. This novel perspective to the Tolkien universe has drawn enthusiasts, especially those interested in the Shire’s pastoral side. We’ll discuss the game’s development, fundamental gameplay mechanics, narrative, setting, and expected impact on gamers and Tolkien fans in this article.
Developing Background
Renowned for their work on visual effects and props in “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” films, Weta Workshop has entered game production with “Tales of the Shire.” This amazing change in visual effects to game design reveals the company’s passion of Tolkien’s universe.. Wētā Workshop worked with Private Division, a publisher recognized for promoting innovative projects, to produce a realistic and engaging game that reflects the essence of Hobbit life.
Focusing on the Shire and its people gives Middle-earth games a new perspective. Many games in this setting have focused on big battles and grand missions, while “Tales of the Shire” focuses on Hobbits’ everyday joys and adventures, creating a peaceful yet compelling gameplay experience.
Game mechanics core
“Tales of the Shire” is a cosy life-simulation game inspired by “Animal Crossing” and “Stardew Valley.” As a Hobbit, players will experience the lovely Shire lifestyle. Farming, crafting, cooking, and Hobbit socialising are key gaming aspects. The game emphasises creativity, relaxation, and exploration, letting players fully experience the Shire’s beauty.
Farming and Gardening: Players will raise food and flowers in their gardens. This component of the game supplies cooking and crafting resources and personalises the player’s home. The straightforward and rewarding gardening techniques encourage players to try different plants and arrangements.
In “Tales of the Shire,” players can craft furniture, tools, and more. The building feature lets players customise their Hobbit hole, encouraging creativity and ownership. Explore and trade to gather materials for crafts and house expansion.
Players can create traditional Hobbit dishes in Cooking and Festivities. Social gameplay includes sharing meals with neighbours and attending local events, representing the Shire’s collaborative attitude.
Socialising with other Hobbits is key to the game’s charm. Community can be fostered through talks, favours, and community activities. The dialogue and exchanges are touching and sincere, showcasing Hobbit society’s hospitality.
Story and Setting
In “Tales of the Shire”‘s relative serenity, players can explore the Shire without violence or gloom. The game follows the player’s integration into the Shire community as a newcomer. Players will learn about Shire history, population, and traditions through quests and events.
The Shire is deliberately created to match Tolkien’s bucolic splendour. Beautiful hills, meadows, and villages set the scene for the player’s excursions. The architecture of Hobbit holes, farms, and communal places are meticulously detailed to create a realistic, true-to-source experience.
The game‘s soundtrack, with its serene and melodious Shire vibe, increases immersion. The music and nature noises provide a relaxing atmosphere for players.
Expected Effect
The gaming community and Tolkien lovers may be affected by “Tales of the Shire”. Its novel take on Hobbit living sets it apart from previous Middle-earth games that emphasise warfare and heroic missions. This serene and creative approach may appeal to casual gamers and those seeking a healthy gaming experience.
“Tales of the Shire” lets Tolkien fans explore the Shire in unparalleled detail. Fans of Hobbit life’s charm and simplicity will appreciate the game’s authenticity and embrace of Hobbit culture. The game lets players live as Hobbits and experience their daily routines and celebrations, giving them a new connection to Tolkien’s universe.
Tales of the shire Release Date
The forthcoming cosy Hobbit game, “Tales of the Shire,” is scheduled for release on October 4, 2024. This game, created by Wētā Workshop and released by Private Division, transports players to the enchanting Shire universe and provides an engrossing and touching experience. Enthralled readers of Tolkien’s works will anticipate discovering the gorgeous scenery, participating in a variety of activities, and getting to know well-known Shire characters. Make plans to embark on a lovely voyage through Middle-earth, ideal for anyone looking for a peaceful and captivating experience.
Conclusion
“Tales of the Shire” is a charming and original Middle-earth video game. It offers a new viewpoint on Tolkien’s cosmos by focusing on Hobbit life’s calm and uplifting qualities. The game, developed by Weta Workshop and Private Division, is greatly anticipated by gamers and Tolkien lovers due to its excellent quality and authenticity.
Players will enjoy the simple delights and strong sense of community of the Shire as they grow gardens, craft unique objects, prepare wonderful meals, and make friends with other Hobbits. “Tales of the Shire” will be more than a game it will invite you to dwell in a tranquil, beautiful, and friendly world. This game is a lovely and fascinating tour into the Shire for Tolkien fans and newcomers to Middle-earth.

MISUNDERSTANDING 1
Ok I have procrastinated enough for these two days so let's start with the fic. This is a Tokyo revengers fic with my favorite guy being the main guy. Yep Mikey!!!! But there would be some of the others as well so no fear.
"Welcome to the sano home old friend!" Grandpa sano greeted his friend at the front of the property. "When did you come back to Japan my friend?"
"Just yesterday I would like to introduce my new grand child. This is name, Melody and I adopted them back in home country." Your grand father said proudly patting down the stray c/hairs on your head.
"You just need to adopt the world don't you?" Grandpa sano said in reply.
"Ofcourse I spoke of it too often for you to ever forget. Speaking of which do you remember that promise we made to each other of having our grand children married to each other well that's why I brought this one."
"Ah yes it is about time to arrange that marriage isn't it. Come come I will introduce you all in the dojo." The old man said moving as though he was still in his thirties not even hunched over. He still had the spring in his step from his youth. Leading you both to dojo he ended the class that was currently happening. Dismissing the children only two young boys around the same age and a young girl remained along with a young man clearly in his early 20's.
"Why'd you end class early old man?" The young teenage brunette boy spoke up like he was pissed.
"Because I needed to introduce Manjiro to someone very important."
"Me to someone" he scanned the newcomers in the dojo and his cold grey eyes landed on you. He tilted his head and just continues staring at you. It made you uneasy not being able to read his expression or why he didn't say anything. "You're the one my old man wants Me to get married to aren't you. Then let's do it. My name is manjiro sano you can call me Mikey or any nickname you want to call me. I'm your husband now." He bluntly said putting his hand out to you. Making everyone around him shocked. Some even dropped dramatically on the floor.
"I'm l/name f/name 14." Taking his hand in yours you both shook hands. And that is how you became manjiro sano' s fiance.
Approximately two years have passed since then. You had gotten closer to Mikey and his friends during that time he had already formed toman and was living the dream of a biker gang who would stand together for each other. You had gotten closer to shinichiro his older brother and Emma the baby sister. Mikey said he didn't mind you were one year older than him and he would still continue being yours if you would continue being his. You both had your engagement party and you even met hanagaki takemitchy one of mikey's bestest friends. Everything was amazing not saying it was perfect but like every relationship shinichiro had to like the father to council you both.
Now you had two best guy friends that Mikey knows about. You had met in school and since then have been really close to them. Mikey had no problems with it he even encouraged you to hang out more together with them. He was happy once you were at his side when he needed you.
At this point a new year had passed. Baji San almost died Halloween night and Draken even got stabbed during a festival night. Even pah almost got arrested for some stupid reason. Mikey and hanagaki stopped it all almost like they knew what, where and why everything was going to happen. Even for Christmas night the vice commander of second division had a bloody night with a sibling quarrel. But quick on the draw Mikey and the others succeeded. It was a random day where Mikey and hanagaki wanted a pic with the commanders of toman and you standing at mikey's side. Hanagaki ran towards the group almost falling when the flash sprung and the pic was taken, everyone laughing and enjoying themselves as you all readied to leave the warehouse. Mikey's hand not leaving your waist as he was gently guiding you to the exit.
"Oh mitsuya kun can I talk to you alone?" Mikey froze you never want to talk to his team members alone.
"Uh yeah sure princess what is it that you need?" The others just as shocked by this looking between you and Mikey and mitsuyua.
"Jiro this will only take a few minutes do you mind if I meet you home?"
"Uh! NO it's no problem love" he said slowly dropping his hand from your waist. "See you home" he said pecking a kiss to your cheek. He was still lost in thought while he was walking out with the others. He noticed your friends waiting for you outside the warehouse. They had their back packs strapped on and it looked like they had your backpack as well.
"Oh sano San is name Chan still inside?" Bf#1 said.
"Yeah they are talking to someone at the moment. I'll take their back pack if that's what you are here for."
"No!" Bf#2 says hugging the backpack closer.
"They are probably going to tell him. Um we will go meet them and give them the backpack thanks anyways" they both said running towards the previous group came from.
"That's weird. Why didn't they want to give you name Chan's back pack." Draken asked quietly.
"Want me to go beat the info out them" baji san said cracking his knuckles
"BAJI SAN!" chifuyu and hanagaki warned.
"Let's go I'm hungry" Mikey said walking away hands behind his head as carefree as can be. Everyone followed him to a cafe and they ate. Mitsuya showed up some time after as everyone questioned him he just said don't worry about it that it wasn't important at all.
Sometime later everyone decided to go their separate ways. Mikey came home and took his shoes off at the door way.
"I'm home" he announced
"Welcome home!" It was Emma not his name Chan.
"What's for dinner?" He questioned
"Shin -nii got some fish so fish it is" she announced.
"Can't wait where is name Chan."
"Your room on the phone with their grandpa" he walked as quietly as he could to his room arriving to his door hearing your muffled voice. It sounded like you were crying.
"Papa please I'm begging you I need you and our family for this. I can't do this alone anymore" he slid the door slightly causing you to jump and rub the tears from your eyes quickly. "Look I gotta go papa talk to you later" the door slid completely open.
"I'm home" he said almost robotical out of habit.
"Welcome home" you say opening your arms expecting him to drop down on you with his full weight but he didn't. He just walked to the bathroom and closed the door. Dropping your arms you didn't understand what was happening.
To be continued.
That is if you would like it to

How is your living room arranged? What’s on display? Art, knick-knacks?
Living Space Headcanons | @heavensxstray
Do windows count as interior decor? Because he has lots of those! You'll see in the pictures, that one wall beside his couch is all floor to ceiling window, with a balcony outside, the guardrail is also glass to prevent any messy lines. Same with the wall opposite by the kitchen, once again, it's a lot of windows. His bedroom too, is also just an obscene amount of windows.
Like mentioned over in this headcanon, there isn't a clear division between his living room and his kitchen. Ignore the colours for the first few pictures, because his whole apartment is very dark colours. They're more for some visualization of set up.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/42aff94784bdc8549bf31b3ae464df76/5ae8803d0553b181-c6/s540x810/1672049c6edef1db01c4d4d17bf934323381ffbd.jpg)
As for some of the knick-nacks... there isn't much. He has a wave ornament on one of the side-tables in the living room, and a bookshelf with books he hasn't read. He intended to, he used to read quite a lot, but the same can't be said since he died. He doesn't have any plants. They would... not survive. He has Vark which is the closest thing he'll manage to something else reliant on him.
The bar-counter set up is an L-shape, which means that it forms the closest thing he has to a divided kitchen... that he rarely uses. His laptop is usually on one of the counters. he has a few lamps, but the majority of the lighting comes from either the windows, or rows and rows of LED light strips on the baseboards or under the counter tops.
The front door is in the mid-point of the room, halfway between the living room and the kitchen, and it leads out to a small antechamber, with the elevators to the rest of the building.
There isn't much by way of art. Like yes, it's the sort of modern apartment that would be posted on Voxtagram or a furniture magazine, but it's not the sort of homey place someone wants to live.
#*personnel file (hc)#heavensxstray#I *think* this has all the details I wanted to mention before TUMBLR ATE THE POST

During cereal endosperm development, the triploid primary endosperm nucleus undergoes a series of mitotic divisions without cytokinesis, and the nuclei migrate to the periphery of the central cell, which also contains a large central vacuole (Figure 21.26, see parts A-D). As in the Arabidopsis coenocyte, each of nuclei is surrounded by radially arranged microtubules (see Figure 21.26E). Anticlinal walls form initially between adjacent nuclei, resulting in the tubelike alveolar cells, with the open end pointing toward the central vacuole (see Figure 21.26F). (...) The innermost layer of daughter cells remains alveolar in structure, and continues to divide periclinally until cellularization is complete (see Figure 21.26G and H). The most important source of starchy endosperm cells is the interior cells of the cell files that are present at the completion of endosperm cellularization (see Figure 21.26H).

Sarcophagus of Wereshnefer
Metropolitan Museum of Art, Egyptian Art Collection
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 131
This is one of the first known representations of the world as round. It is framed by the body of Nut, goddess of the sky, who is supported by the outstretched arms of Shu, the atmosphere. At her feet lies the earth, represented by the uplifted arms on two legs, a rebus for the name of the earth god Geb. The world is shown in the center of this frame as three concentric circles. The outer-most circle is bordered on the left and right by goddesses representing the east (by Nut's leg) and west; before them stand the gods and peoples of the deserts that border Egypt on the east and west. At the top (south) is a symbolic depiction of the Nile and the caverns that were believed to be its source. The ovals at the bottom (north) represent the islands and shorelands of the Mediterranean Sea. The second ring represents Egypt itself. It contains the emblems of Egypt's forty-two nomes, or states, arranged from south (top) to north and east to west, reflecting the actual geographical divisions of the country. The innermost circle shows both the night and day skies (the former with stars) and is meant to be viewed at ninety degrees to the outer rings.

Introduction
Modern homes have been demanding for modular kitchen spaces recently because of their clean looks, the best use of available space, and adjustable layouts. Understanding the most popular adjustable kitchen ideas will help you in making a knowledgeable decision, no matter whether you're creating a new kitchen from scratch or remodeling your present one. In this blog, we will discuss the top kitchen remodeling trends for 2024 and show you how Regalo Kitchens can give the perfect solution for your kitchen's layout.
Why Modular Kitchen Are in High Demand
Kitchens that are modular provide an affordable and fashionable way to create kitchens. Because pre-manufactured cabinet parts are used in their construction, they are simple to build and remove. Homeowners can customize kitchen layouts using this design method according to their own tastes, practical needs, and available space. The following results in have been responsible for the rising demand for modular kitchen areas:
Customization: Kitchens that are modular are customizable to fit any area and may be made to match personal tastes.
Space Efficiency: These designs maximize available space, making even small kitchens look organized and spacious.
Aesthetic Appeal: Modular kitchens improve the entire look of your house with their simplified finishes, modern designs, and colorful options.
Functionality: Smart storage solutions and ergonomic designs ensure the kitchen is easy to use and maintain.
Easy Maintenance: The modular design makes cleaning and maintaining the kitchen easier, thanks to detachable units and modern materials.
Now, let's explore the most demanded modern kitchen designs that have captured the attention of homeowners worldwide.
1. L-Shaped Kitchen Layout
The L-shaped modular kitchen is a traditional design that is in high demand because of the ability to save space while allowing productive use. It is excellent for small to medium-sized kitchens since it has two parallel walls that create a "L." Homes with limited space can benefit greatly from this design, which improves usefulness without taking up unnecessary space.
Advantages:
• Optimizes corner space
• Allows for efficient cooking and cleaning flow
• Ample counter space for food prep
• Easy to incorporate a dining area within the kitchen
2. U-Shaped Kitchen Layout
The U-shaped modular kitchen is a very common choice for bigger houses or kitchens. The chef is surrounded on three sides by this arrangement, which improves performance and functionality by forming a closed work triangle. Families that like cooking together will find the U-shape perfect since it provides lots of counter space and sufficient space for many people to use.
Advantages:
• Ideal for larger spaces
• Plenty of storage and counter space
• Allows for efficient division of kitchen zones (cooking, cleaning, prep)
• Excellent for multitasking
3. Island Kitchen Layout
One of the most popular kitchen layouts nowadays is the island modular kitchen, especially with open-concept houses. A center island in this design could be used for eating, cooking, or as an extra workplace. Islands are also an excellent place to add extra storage or put in equipment like a sink or stove.
Advantages:
• Additional counter and storage space
• Perfect for open-concept homes
• Versatile usage (prep area, dining, storage)
• Adds a luxurious and modern appeal
4. Parallel Kitchen Layout (Galley Kitchen)
Another popular design for small areas is the parallel modular kitchen, also referred to as a galley kitchen. There is a little space between the two parallel counters in this design, which have cupboards on both sides of them. It is perfect for making the finest use of space that is accessible in small homes or apartments where functionality is important.
Advantages:
• Maximizes limited space
• Efficient for small kitchens
• Easy to navigate work areas
• Ample storage with overhead cabinets
5. G-Shaped Kitchen Layout
The G-shaped modular kitchen is a modified version of the U-shaped kitchen, with an added partial wall or extension that creates a "G" layout. This design is perfect for homeowners who want more counter space and storage without sacrificing the efficiency of the work triangle. It is ideal for large kitchens and families who need additional space for cooking and entertaining.
Advantages:
• Extra counter and storage space
• Allows for a separate dining or breakfast nook
•Suitable for larger spaces and families
• Improves kitchen functionality
6. Straight Kitchen Layout
For minimalist homes or apartments, the straight modular kitchen is a top choice. This design features a single-wall layout with all appliances and cabinets placed along a single line. It is highly efficient and simple, making it a favorite for small apartments, studio homes, and minimalist interiors.
Advantages:
• Simple and space-saving

☆彡 WASTED SUMMERS |Manjiro Sano x reader fanfic|
♢wasted summers by juju<3
⇒ (Y/n) (L/n), a name that most people are acquainted with due to the fact that she has always been associated as the smartest student in class. Despite her uptight personality and rather studious behavior, she managed to catch the attention of one of the strongest delinquents out there- Manjiro Sano. His persistence of getting to know her manages to break her walls down for a bit, but this is all about staying friends... for now.

☆彡 Hideaway |Soshiro Hoshina x Reader Fanfic|
♢Hideaway by WIMY
⇒ One of the biggest jobs that no one considers is the jobs that deals with the aftermath of situations. Whether it's dealing with the cleaning up of Kaiju's or the investigation that comes with it. That's what (Y/n)'s job is as a forensics pathologist of the third division. Despite mostly being hidden in the shadows and dealing with the studying of the dead, she still finds herself in the presence of one of the most important people in the division- Soshiro Hoshina- who finds this rather shy and awkward girl interesting considering she's always avoiding any interaction. What else could he do but corner her to initiate a conversation?

☆彡 I LOVE YOU HOE |Soshiro Hoshina x Reader Fanfic|
♢I LOVE YOU HOE by Odetari, 9lives
⇒ Soshiro Hoshina has always been used to being the cocky and strict vice captain of the third division, he never once questioned his abilities nor did he really care to meet the other vice captains. But one night his world is turned upside down when he’s saved by someone whom is the vice captain of the first division. Thus, starting a long rivalry with you- the supposedly “stronger” vice captain.

☆彡 PHILOSOPHY in a Tea Cup | Vash the Stampede x Reader Fanfic|
♢PHILOSOPHY in a Tea Cup by Tsuneo Imahori
⇒ (Y/n) liked to believe that she had humble beginnings, she was there when everything dried up and people had lost their motivation to reach their goals. She was something of a cow girl- traversing the desert and different towns in hope to bring fortune to her parents back at home. Yet, her morals and end game was challenged when she had come across some kind of gun man who was finding himself in all kinds of situations. The cowgirl and the humanoid typhoon travel together, picking up stragglers together and finding a weird peace within each other- but how stable can it be?

☆彡Dream Girl |Yuta Okkotsu x Reader Fanfic|
♢ Dream Girl by Crisaunt
⇒ Coming from smaller clans were difficult- especially when navigating the jujutsu world. (Y/n) (L/n) would know, being cursed with the ability to manipulate the mind which categorized her as a special grade. She preferred to be out of the eyes of the higher ups and any other clans, but when the threat of an arranged marriage came up, she had to make the choice of marrying young or joining Jujutsu high under the facade of becoming a jujutsu sorcerer. So here she was, standing in front of a few students that would become her classmates, yet why does she find herself gravitating towards an awkward sorcerer with an overwhelming aura?
