Dive into Summer: Exploring the Hottest Trends in Bikini Slips and Swimwear

Summer, a season synonymous with sunshine, beach escapades, and refreshing splashes in the water, beckons us to revamp our wardrobes and embrace the hottest fashion trends. This year, as temperatures soar and ocean waves call out, it's time to dive into the captivating world of bikini slips and swimwear. Let's take a journey through the most exciting trends that promise to make your beach days even more stylish and memorable.

The Rise of Swimwear Trends

In a world of rapid transformations, swimwear fashion is no exception. Over the years, we've witnessed an evolution from conventional swimsuits to a diverse array of styles that cater to various preferences. Social media platforms, adorned with influencers flaunting their seaside ensembles, have played a pivotal role in shaping our summer choices. But what are the trends making the biggest splash this season? Let's explore.

Bikini Slips: Unveiling Elegance and Comfort

Imagine a swimwear piece that effortlessly combines the allure of a bikini with the comfort of a slip. Enter the realm of bikini slips, the epitome of style and ease. These versatile creations embrace your curves while ensuring you feel at home in your skin. Whether you're catching waves, lounging by the shore, or sipping cocktails at a beachside bar, bikini slips have got you covered. Their seamless design and flattering cuts make them a must-have addition to your swimwear collection. So, why wait? Embrace the liberation of bikini slips and own the beach with confidence.

Lilac Maxi Dress: A Fusion of Grace and Playfulness

While bikini slips steal the spotlight in the water, the lilac maxi dress emerges as the perfect beachside companion. This enchanting piece effortlessly transitions from a swimwear cover-up to a chic ensemble for seaside strolls. Its flowing fabric and delicate hues embody the essence of summer romance. The lilac maxi dress bridges the gap between grace and playfulness, allowing you to exude sophistication with a hint of carefree spirit. With this dress in your beach bag, you're ready to make a statement wherever the waves take you.

Cross Over Crop Top: From Beaches to Streets

Who says swimwear should be confined to the shoreline? The cross over crop top challenges this notion by seamlessly blending into your everyday wardrobe. Beyond complementing your bikini bottoms, this versatile piece pairs exquisitely with skirts, shorts, and even jeans. Its adaptability makes it a go-to choice for spontaneous summer outings, transforming from beach chic to street savvy in an instant. Unleash your creativity and discover the endless possibilities of the cross-over crop top.

Cree Clothing: Where Culture Meets Contemporary

As we celebrate diversity in all its forms, the realm of swimwear fashion embraces culture and tradition. Cree clothing-inspired swimwear pays homage to indigenous heritage while exuding a contemporary charm. These pieces allow you to connect with history while creating new memories by the water. By adorning yourself with Cree-inspired designs, you not only embrace a fashion trend but also express solidarity with cultural preservation.

The Allure of Ruffled White Skirts

Picture yourself walking along the shoreline, the gentle sea breeze ruffling your hair, and the sun-kissed sand beneath your feet. Now add a touch of elegance to this scene with a ruffled white skirt. This timeless piece has the power to transform your beachside look into a vision of sheer sophistication. Its delicate ruffles dance with every step, while its pristine hue mirrors the purity of summer mornings. Pair it with a bikini top for a dreamy ensemble that captures the essence of coastal beauty.

Exploring Split-Leg Skirts

Summer adventures demand outfits that allow you to move freely and experience the world around you. Enter split-leg skirts, the embodiment of both style and functionality. These skirts offer a unique twist on traditional designs, with slits that provide comfort while showcasing your sun-kissed legs. From sandy shores to vibrant boardwalks, split-leg skirts accompany you on your journey, ensuring you remain a step ahead in the fashion game.

White Ruffled Blouse: Effortless Beach Elegance

When it comes to covering up after a swim, the white ruffled blouse takes the crown for effortless elegance. Its lightweight fabric and intricate ruffles create a look that seamlessly transitions from beach to restaurant. Imagine the sun setting on the horizon as you dine by the water's edge, wrapped in the grace of a white ruffled blouse. This piece embodies the essence of summer soirées and adds a touch of refinement to your beach escapades.

The Classic White Mini Dress

Some trends withstand the test of time, and the classic white mini dress  is no exception. Effortlessly chic and eternally stylish, this dress remains a staple of summer wardrobes. Its simplicity allows for versatile accessorising, and its lightweight fabric keeps you cool on the hottest days. Whether you're attending a beachside wedding or simply enjoying an evening by the sea, the white mini dress ensures you radiate charm with every step.

Pink Playsuit: Embracing Playful Vibrancy

As the sun paints the sky with hues of gold, why not add a splash of vibrant pink to your summer palette? The pink playsuit exudes energy and radiance, capturing the essence of carefree beach days. Its playful design and vivacious colour make it an ideal choice for those who want to stand out while soaking up the sun. So slip into a pink playsuit and embrace the joy of summer with unbridled enthusiasm.

Dive Deeper: Understanding the Fabric Choices

While style is undeniably important, the choice of fabric can greatly impact your comfort during beach activities. Opt for swimwear crafted from breathable and quick-drying materials. These fabrics ensure you stay comfortable even after emerging from the water, allowing you to enjoy the full spectrum of summer experiences.

Accessorising Swimwear: Hats, Sunglasses, and Beyond

Enhancing your swimwear style goes beyond the swimsuit itself. Embrace the power of accessories to elevate your beach ensemble. A wide-brimmed hat not only adds a touch of glamour but also provides essential sun protection. Stylish sunglasses not only shield your eyes from the sun's rays but also lend an air of sophistication to your look. Remember, the right accessories can transform a good outfit into an unforgettable one.

Body positivity and confidence

As you embark on your summer fashion journey, remember that the most vital accessory is your confidence. Everybody is a beachbody, and every individual has the right to feel comfortable and beautiful in their chosen swimwear. Embrace body positivity and let your confidence radiate as brightly as the summer sun. Wear what makes you happy, and revel in the joy of being yourself.

Conclusion

The allure of summer fashion lies in its ability to reflect the season's energy and vitality. The trends we've delved into here capture the essence of summer, blending comfort, style, and self-expression. As you navigate through beach escapades, poolside gatherings, and sunset adventures, let your swimwear choices mirror the vibrant moments that define this cherished season. Embrace the trends that resonate with you, and infuse your summer days with an extra dose of sartorial charm.

Absolutely LOVE your new Zukka piece 😭 saw in your tags that you were considering a belt of some kind, and wanted to let you know that if you're looking for more references, the National Museums of Denmark and Greenland and Museumof Oslo have a collection of digitized skin clothing from arctic peoples - it's on https://skinddragter (dot) natmus (dot) dk and they have a handful of belts as well.

thank you !!! there is a belt i was thinking of, a wampum belt (they are so so interesting).

this is such a great resource though wow! i wish canada had something like this. honestly some of the moh archives look like they're from the age of geocities hahaha unsurprising but interesting to see how many motifs and structures are shared between north american and siberian arctic peoples! and the nivkh boots especially really r so gorgeous if you want to see beautiful and accurate art of the water tribe by an inuk artist, check out @notdayle !

Solo pensar en Soft!Sukuna que duerme contigo y pasan cosas extraordinarias, como cuando una noche que te quedas despierta más tiempo de lo habitual, descubres como, aunque menciona odiar el contacto físico, te rodea con sus brazos murmurando un suave: "Disculpa" cuando cree que estás dormida.

Soft!Sukuna, whose little head can't imagine that, no matter how cruel or a monster he is, you will continue to love him (especially his soft side).

Soft!Sukuna who secretly loves your pampering and attention.

Soft!Sukuna, who hugs you from behind when he comes back from a long day, just wanting to bury his face in his neck and fall asleep there.

Soft!Sukuna, who looks at you without shame when you undress or change clothes, but who certainly respects your privacy when you need it.

Soft!Sukuna who, despite being the most monstrous being on the planet, becomes a fool in love when he is by your side.

Boyfriend!Gaming x Reader HC

💖~ What the people think is done

Yo estoy dispuesta a saltar ✨

El banner para esto no salió mal, estoy feliz por ello <3333333

Warning: Nope now💖, GN!Reader | English is not my native language, so if I have made any mistakes in the translation, I am open to corrections | Content in spanish and english!

Spanish:

Gaming es el mejor amigo que puedas tener, y si como amigo es fantástico, imagínate de novio.

Es un novio que resuelve, no importa si crees que la situación es insalvable, él encuentra la manera de hacer que funcione. ¿Tu ropa se manchó y no se quita? Él te da su chaqueta para que te cubras. ¿Te incomodan tus zapatos? Te dará los suyos. ¿Estás tan cansada como para hacer algo? Él te atenderá hasta que te recuperes. Él es un amor.

Puede ponerse muy amenazante cuando hay alguien que puede hacerte daño cerca. Puede poner esta cara de perro rabioso mientras mira feo (y tal vez saque algo de veneno) a la persona que representa una amenaza para ti.

Puede ser un perrito que te sigue y te muerde para que juegues con él, y puede ser un perro guardián que muerda y probablemente haga sangrar a alguien que te trata mal.

Es tu novio y al mismo tiempo es tu comadre con quien chismean cada que pueden. El inicio de sus citas empieza con uno de los dos tomando aire para contar el chisme mientras toman té y pasteles de té y luna.

Te pide que le ayudes a peinarse y comparten productos para el cuidado del cabello que pueden servirles.

Tienen mínimo uno o dos conjuntos que combinan, y probablemente te haya regalado una chaqueta igual a la suya.

Siento que haría chistes de sus desgracias y se reiría, pero jamás se burlaría de tus traumas a menos que tú hagas el chiste primero.

Si en algún momento se cansa de ti (siempre en broma, claro) te pone su chaqueta, sube la capucha y le habla al suanni acerca de cómo alguien está hablando mucho y cuánto quiere cerrarle la boca a besos.

Siempre coquetea contigo, no le importa si ya son pareja. Va a seguir acercándose diciendo que luces preciosa y te pregunta si ya tienes novio y por qué debería ser él.

No soporta coqueteos frente a su familia, va a explotar de la vergüenza y te meterá un puñado de arroz en la boca para que te calles.

Puntos extras si resulta que vives en la Aldea Chiaoying, no tiene pereza de viajar desde la ciudad de Liyue para ir a visitarte los fines de semana. También le gusta llevarte a la ciudad para presentarte a sus amigos y que respires un aire nuevo.

El chico es un hombre fiel, es tu novio y puede imaginar un futuro contigo, suele hacer bromas acerca de que ambos se harán viejos juntos y saldrán a pasear por el lago.

A partir de que soluciona sus problemas con su padre, tiene la costumbre de alejarte de su familia, a pesar de que cada que te encuentras con ellos te dan de comer o te tratan muy dulcemente.

English:

Gaming is the best friend you can have, and if he is fantastic as a friend, imagine him as a boyfriend.

He is a boyfriend who will help you, it doesn't matter if you think the situation is insurmountable, he finds a way to make it work. Did your clothes get stained and won't come off? He gives you his jacket to cover yourself. Do your shoes make you uncomfortable? He will give you his. Are you tired enough to do anything? He will take care of you until you recover. He is a sweetheart.

He can become very threatening when there is someone who can harm you nearby. May make this mad dog face while he glares (and maybe draws some venom) at the person who poses a threat to you.

It can be a little dog that follows you and bites you to make you play with it, and he can be a guard dog that bites and probably makes bleed who treats you badly.

He is your boyfriend and at the same time he is your best friend with whom you gossip whenever you can. The beginning of your dates is with one of you taking a breath to tell the gossip with tea and Fine Tea, Full Moon.

He asks you to help him comb his hair and share hair care products that can help you.

You have at least one or two outfits that match, and he probably gave you a jacket just like his.

I feel like he would make jokes about his misfortunes and laugh, but he would never make fun of your traumas unless you make the joke first.

If at some point he gets tired of you (always joking, of course) he puts his jacket on you, pulls up the hood and talks to the suanni about how someone is talking too much and how much he wants to kiss their mouth shut.

He always flirts with you, he doesn't care if you are already a couple. He will keep approaching you saying that you look beautiful and asking if you already have a boyfriend and why it should be him.

He can't stand flirting in front of his family, he's going to explode with embarrassment and shove a handful of rice into your mouth to make you shut up.

Bonus points if you live in Chiaoying Village, he's not lazy to travel from Liyue to visit you on the weekends. He also likes to take you to the city to introduce you to his friends and let you breathe a fresh air.

The boy is a faithful man, he is your boyfriend and he can imagine a future with you, he often makes jokes about the two of you getting old together and going for a walk by the lake.

After he solves his problems with his father, he has the habit of distancing you from his family, even though every time you meet them they feed you or treat you very sweetly.

I'm Not Her Pt.3 (Father Miguel O’Hara x Teen! Daughter Reader)

Summary: Miguel O’Hara is your biological father but it’s not great being his daughter when he’s hooked in the past still.

Disclaimer: I do not own Marvel or any of its characters. This short One-Shot has made it into a series! Read part one and two please to understand the prompt better. (Linked Below)

Word Count: 1.3k

Warnings: Use of female pronouns, Use of (Y/N), angst, Father Miguel, overall, it’s just sad for now. Other dimensional Miguel…mention of blood, stabbing, knife, curing in Spanish, maybe consider yandere behavior...Uhhh I think that is all for now.

Pt.1 Pt.2 Pt.3 Pt.4 Pt.5 Pt.6

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was the day of the concert, and you couldn’t be happier. Things were finally looking up, you got the latest technology, tickets to the concert but what was more important to you, was having your father back. “Estás lista?” Miguel stood by your door watching you put on all the needed accessories for the concert. “Yup! I am, why is my ride outside?” You panicked as you grabbed your bag, shoving phone, charger, anything that you thought might be useful. “Are you going like that? No crees que estás mostrando demasiada piel?” He is uncertain about your outfit. “I’ll be fine; besides I am bringing a jacket just in case I get cold” You assure him before walking to the door. Only to feel a rough hand holding her upper arm, “Don’t you think you are forgetting something?” Miguel looks down at you. You look at his hand holding your arm and up to him, a feeling in your gut was telling you to run, it was like your Spidey senses were telling you something was wrong. Then you remember you don’t have that, but it felt like you were in danger. You only shook the thought away thinking maybe it’s because you’re not used to the affection or being even held by your father. “Sorry papá” You stood on your toes as Miguel smiled, leaning over a bit so you could kiss his cheek. “Be safe and out of trouble” He calls out to you as you run out the door. 

Back at HQ, Miguel watched everything on his screen for the past few days. After what Lyla has told him about getting concert tickets supposedly by him. He went to investigate who and what the hell was going on. Lyla only watched as he stayed quiet watching you having a blast with this new impostor. “Miguel…what are we going to do…” Miguel only kept quiet pulling up information on this impostor. “There has to be a reason they came to my dimension…to take my spot…” He stops himself as memories of him taking Gabriella’s father spot come to him. He knew what he did was wrong, he watched the man die and took his place when he himself had a little girl waiting for him back home, but he didn’t listen to his brain, he listened to his heart on that day. Because of that, he destroyed a dimension and destroyed his relationship with his daughter (Y/N). “Miguel…are you okay? What are we going to do…should I warn (Y/n) what is going on now that she’s not with him at the moment?” Miguel only shakes his head as he focuses back, “I’ll have a plan soon and I want you to keep this between us…can’t risk (Y/n) getting hurt if she finds out.” He says as he looks more on his screen before finally finding the file. “This Miguel is from Earth 954…In his dimension…(Y/n) …” He looks away. He finally understands this imposter's plan and he understands his pain. “In his dimension…she’s dead, isn’t she?” Lyla asked as she read the information with him. “(Y/n) is in the concert, right?” He asked Lyla about your location. The AI nods her head, “Perfect, it gives me time to chat with this person.” 

He opens the portal and stands on the rooftop of the apartment. He changes into his civilian clothes before walking down the stairs heading to the floor number greeting a few neighbors with grunts. He grabs the keys only to find they don’t belong on that door. Miguel frowns, “Hijo de puta…he even changed my locks” He mutters as he uses his strength to break the handle and walks inside the apartment carefully. All the lights were off but that was no problem for him. He walked around his own apartment finding things that weren’t there before. Pictures that never took with you, parts of new couches. This imposter was getting cozy in his own home! He walks to each room checking to see what changed, he goes to open the door to his room but stops seeing the handle turn over. He quickly hides in your room and peaks overseeing the variant walk out of his room wearing his clothes. Miguel quietly follows him behind ready to strike before blocking a punch quickly. “Took you long enough” The variant looks at him drawing back his hand away. “I was starting to wonder when you’ll come back.” He looks at Miguel before seeing how similar the two of them are. “It’s not fair…” The variant says, “That your (Y/n) is alive and mine isn’t…it’s not fair…that you treat her like she’s nothing when I don’t have my (Y/n) to love…I’m doing you a favor really…being the father she deserves.” He whispers to Miguel with no emotion. “Voy a deshacerme de ti...y tendré una vida feliz con ella antes de que se acabe el tiempo…” He whispers. Miguel looks at him watching him carefully, “before times up…Qué demonios quieres decir con eso?” Miguel felt something terrible was awaiting with those words. The variant glitches as they grunt in discomfort. “I don’t know how much time I have left…but when the time comes…you nor me…will have her. Besides you wouldn’t miss her since all you can think is that Gabriella who was never your daughter to begin with” Miguel glares, “You stay away from her and keep Briella’s name out of this” He frowns and walks over to him. “No wait! Miguel, it's a trap!” Lyla tries to warn but it was too late. Miguel looks down feeling a sharp pain in his lower abdomen. He looks seeing a small kitchen blade. “I’ll be taking that” The Variant grabs the watch from Miguel and puts it on himself before summoning a portal. “This should get rid of you.” He mutters and smirks, pushing Miguel back into the portal to a random earth. “Good luck trying to find your way back…now you know how it feels to be…replaced…” Miguel only felt the pain from the stab and watched as the portal closed once, he landed in a pile of trash in pain. 

Lyla panicked before appearing in front of you, “(Y/N)! Hey Boo!” She yelled watching you fix your lipgloss in the bathroom. She was glad the bathroom was empty. “Lyla? Is something the matter?” You look at her as she seems so panicked. “Boo! You need to know that the Miguel in the house is no-” She starts to glitch. “Lyla?!” You look at her worried before the AI was completely gone. You quickly grabbed your phone and dialed your father's number, but it went through voice mail. Running out of the bathroom, you ran past your friends, telling them that you were sorry, but something came up. Making sure you were alone; you made a portal to take you straight to your apartment as a shortcut. You ran to the apartment door and saw the handle broken; something must have happened. “Dad!” You yell walking in the apartment and saw Miguel cleaning up what seemed to be blood. “Dad…Oh my god are you okay!?” You ran to him. Miguel was caught off guard seeing you home so soon. “Why aren’t you in the concert? Pasó algo?” He gets up walking to you worriedly. “Lyla was telling me something about you?! Are you hurt?” Your eyes were glued to the blood. Miguel blocks your sight and holds you close. “No pasó nada” He assures you, caressing your hair. “It was just a …misunderstanding” He whispers. “Lyla had a virus in her system…so I shut her down for now.” He explains, “I’m sorry if she scared you” He kisses the top of your head not letting you go. “Everything is okay…todo está bien.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Authors Note: OH GOD, this series is very popular. Thank you so much for the support. Make sure to like and reblog so others can be aware of my works! I'm working on requests and hopefully start the 100-follower special now that results are in. College is starting soon again so my time will be limited. Also, a few asked about my etsy shop so I will drop a link here and on my main post as well. There is so much to do! I have to finish this series and my Biomedical Engineer as well. I have a new idea for a future series, but I don't know if people would enjoy it like this one. It has to do with basically the young spiderlings find the yearbook of the reader and they see she looks like, "my daddy owns a yacht" kind of gal. She admits that she was a spoil teen before meeting Miguel and marrying him. Which the series takes back to the past where the reader is the spoil rich girl who falls in love with Miguel, someone of lower class. Consist of her breaking rules of her toxic family, seeing the other parts of the world her family shields her of, and tasting amazing street foods with Miguel as first dates. 😊🥰. It's just a thought.

Native Fashion history tidbits

(Peter Pan & Wendy, + Prey)

[image description: two large gifs stacked on top of each other. One is a gif of the film Peter Pan and Wendy, featuring the Native Tigerlily. One arrow points from her dress to another image of a dress edited overtop, while another arrow points from her hair to a cropped image of a painting of a Cree woman with similar hair. Text below the Dress image reads, "Cree side fold dress", while the text under the hair reads "Traditional Cree hairstyle, two small braids at side of the face, while rest of the hair hangs loose". The second image is of Naru from Prey, also with an arrow pointing from her clothing to an edited image of a top shirt, while the other arrow points from her feet towards an image of moccasins laid overtop. The text under the shirt reads, "Comanche woman's top, fringed at sleeves", while the text under the moccasins image reads, "High top moccasins with fringe, their allies (the Kiowa) had popularized the look in the 1700s". end image description.]

How are the gang’s relationship with their parents(and extended family)

OH BOI this took a lot especially because I had to think and RETHINK relationships and stuff, but here we go!

Abby's Family

Abby lives with her parents since she's still studying (and a minor too). They're still in a good relationship, as close as ever, and with new people around the house! Her older brother Jacob and his son Simon are living at her home since Jacob got a new job at Mr. Boss' company (his other kid and wife are living at their house in the next city, but they see each other in the weekends and often visit them at Abby's home!). Only problem is with Cree: since she got married in secret, she's seen less and less at the house, also because she moved with her new husband. Her and Abby don't talk anymore after a huge fight they had some years before. Jacob too doesn't talk to her too much, for some reason.

Also, they all love Hoagie, he's always welcome in the house! Sometimes they force Abby to invite him over...

-

Wally's Family

Wally too still lived with his parents and Joy at their house, but things are not too good. Wally doesn't have a good relationship with his mother anymore, they mostly scream at each other and argue a lot. His father keeps out of their arguments, doesn't even try to mitigate them anymore at this point; if they start, he just takes Joey to the living room to watch TV or something. Sydney has a better relationship with him, even if Wally never wants to talk about his problems with him. Teenagers...

At least things calm down when Kuki's over; they all love the girl!

He's incredibly close to Joey. The two spend a lot of time together, Wally allows him in his room whenever he wants, plays with him sometimes and also lets him sleep in his bed!

Also, since Lou and Syd reconnected, sometimes he hangs around the house too, if they need a babysitter for Joey. Wally... tolerates him. He's good at videogames, at least.

-

Kuki's Family

Kuki too lives with his family: her parents and Mushi. Her parents are still strict and serious, maybe a bit demanding now that she's in high school, but she handles it pretty good most of the times. But things are not good. Her parents barely talk to each other without arguing, and it is starting to take a tool on her. Also, they don't like Wally at all, considering him a "no good imbecile punk".

She isn't allowed to have him at home, Kani also doesn't want him to get NEAR the house, so sometimes Kuki has to get out without them knowing. But they ALWAYS get to know what she does, and it's because Mushi always tells on her.

The little girl somehow managed to get out of her lifelong grounding, and is now her dad's favorite girl. She's like one of those Delightfuls: a spoiled educated kid who always does what adults say.

-

Hoagie's Family

Hoagie still lives with his mom, his grandmother (when she wants to hang around) and his brother Tommy. Everything's fine on this side, luckly! His mom still works at Mr. Boss' company, but managed to become Head of Marketing, so she has a lot to do and not too much time to spend home. Hoagie makes sure everything is always ready and clean, cooks for everyone (and he's even GOOD at it!), takes care of laundry and makes sure Tommy showers AT LEAST once at week. He's the man of the house! Especially since no one knows or cares where his father is, at this point.

Abby's always welcome to their house, but Betty always asks to invite her when she's home too, so they can talk! She loves the girl!

His grandma usually hisses at her. Tommy too.

AND FINALLY I CAN ADD Nigel's Family

After getting his house back when he turned 18, Nigel lived alone in a house that slowly started looking like a messy prison: dirty dishes, clothes everywhere, dust and cracks. The only rooms that were intact were his parent's bedroom (which he started to sleep in) and his old bedroom, that he never entered since he went back. Penny arrived at the right time, as he needed something to get himself together and remember why he was still there and fighting in the TND: for the sake of kids all around the world. The same kids his parents protected as long as they could. Penny claimed the bedroom and is thinking of adding mermaid touches EVERYWHERE. The house still needs cleaning tho.

One of the most enticing aspects of split-leg skirts is their versatility. These skirts come in various styles, from subtle thigh-high slits to dramatic leg-baring openings. This adaptability makes them suitable for a wide range of occasions. A split-leg skirt can effortlessly transition from casual daytime outings to sophisticated evening affairs, ensuring you remain a fashion standout wherever you go.

Pairing Split Leg Skirts with Stylish Tops

When styling split-leg skirts, the top choice is pivotal in achieving a balanced and cohesive look. Consider pairing a split-leg skirt with a cross over crop top for a playful yet elegant ensemble. This combination perfectly balances the skirt's boldness and the top's sophistication. Alternatively, opt for a white ruffled blouse to exude timeless charm while allowing the skirt's unique design to shine.

Creating Chic Outfits: Split Leg Skirt and Mini Skirt Combinations

Fashion is all about pushing boundaries and experimenting with new ideas. The pairing of split-leg skirts with mini skirts exemplifies this innovative spirit. The result is a captivating fusion of daring and playfulness. Imagine donning a pink playsuit that combines the allure of a split-leg skirt with the cheekiness of a mini skirt. Matching sets featuring coordinating tops and skirts offer a cohesive look that effortlessly elevates your style.

Embracing Confidence: Feeling Sexy in Mini Skirts

Wearing a mini-skirt is a declaration of confidence and self-assurance. Mini skirts, like split-leg skirts, celebrate the beauty of the legs and encourage self-expression. The flirtatious length of a mini skirt enhances your natural curves, allowing you to embrace your body with pride. To feel your best, remember that confidence is key. Own your style, rock that mini skirt, and let your attitude shine.

Swimwear Extension: Split Leg Skirt Influence on Beach Attire

The allure of split-leg aesthetics extends beyond traditional attire and into swimwear. Imagine strolling along the shoreline in a one-shoulder cut-out swimsuit that draws inspiration from the split-leg skirt trend. Opt for a white bikini set featuring captivating split-leg bottoms and a flattering triangle bikini top to channel elegance by the water. This combination effortlessly merges beach vibes with chic fashion sensibilities.

Cree Clothing: Incorporating Culture and Identity

Fashion is a powerful medium for expressing culture and identity. The influence of split-leg skirts can be seen in Cree clothing, where traditional elements seamlessly blend with contemporary styles. This connection is a testament to the significance of preserving cultural heritage through clothing. The split-leg skirt trend captivates the fashion world and showcases the beautiful interplay between tradition and innovation.

Styling Tips: Nailing the Split Leg Skirt Look

To fully embrace the splendour of split-leg skirts, consider these styling tips. Explore patterns, textures, and colours that resonate with your style when choosing a skirt. Experiment with accessories, such as belts and statement jewellery, to add a touch of individuality. Remember that shoes and bags can significantly impact the overall look, so choose to create a harmonious ensemble wisely.

Accessorising for Impact: Elevate Your Split Leg Skirt Outfit

Accessories have the remarkable ability to transform an outfit from ordinary to extraordinary. Enhance your split-leg skirt ensemble by incorporating accessories that reflect your personality. A stylish belt can cinch the waist and add definition, while statement jewellery can draw attention to your neckline. Remember the power of a well-chosen hat or bag to complete the look and make a lasting impression.

Confidence and Individuality: Making the Trend Your Own

Fashion is a canvas for expressing who you are. Embrace the power of clothing to convey your unique identity and style. As you don a split-leg skirt, remember that it's not just a garment—it's a statement. Embrace your confidence and individuality, and let your personality shine through. Customise your split-leg skirt look to align with your preferences and revel in the art of self-expression.

The Subtle Power of Simplicity: White Ruffled Blouse and Split Leg Skirt Combo

Among the myriad styling options, a timeless combination effortlessly blends simplicity and sophistication—pairing a white ruffled blouse with a split-leg skirt. The blouse's ethereal charm complements the skirt's daring design, creating a harmonious fusion of elegance and allure. This ensemble is a testament to the power of subtlety in making a lasting impression.

Creating a Lasting Impression: Styling Tips for Formal Events

Elevate your split-leg skirt game by incorporating it into your formal attire. This bold choice can instantly transform your look into refinement and elegance. Consider pairing a split-leg skirt with a tailored blazer or a sophisticated blouse. Accessorise with pieces that exude luxury and let your outfit speak volumes about your impeccable fashion sense, even in the most upscale settings.

Conclusion

In the ever-evolving fashion landscape, split-leg skirts symbolise boldness, confidence, and self-expression. Their allure lies in their design and the way they empower individuals to embrace their individuality. From casual pairings to formal ensembles, split-leg skirts offer a versatile canvas for showcasing personal style. So, whether you're strolling along the beach or gracing a red carpet event, remember that fashion is not just about trends—it's about embracing your inner confidence and owning the spotlight.

5 Cases of Missing Indigenous Women in Canada

March 03, 2024

CARBON DOE

Carbon Doe was found on April 21, 1995, in a ditch outside the village of Carbon, in Alberta, Canada. She was likely last seen alive between 1980 to 1985, it is estimated that she was there for 10-15 years before her remains were found.

It is believed she is of Indigenous descent.

She was between 5'0-5'4 in height, had multiple dental fillings, and is possible she had children.

The woman had brucellosis, which means she would have suffered from repeated fevers. This disease is not common in Canada. She is estimated to be between 22-35 years old. She had dental work done, including stainless steel crowns.

There was no clothing or personal items found with her body. Some believe Carbon Doe was not from Alberta, but might have just been travelling at the time of her death. It is possible she was never reported as missing.

Her cause of death has never been released, though many suspect she was murdered.

2. Annie Yassie

Annie was born on July 27, 1960. Her family were members of the Sayisi Dene First Nation, located outside Churchill, Manitoba, Canada.

The Dene Village was promised a lot from the government, but did not get any support, never receiving promised hunting and trapping supplies. They had to scavenge for food in the dump. What happened to these people in this village was named one of the worst crimes against Indigenous people in Canada.

Annie was extremely close to her sister, Eva. She loved to sew doll clothes and was a fan of the "hippie" look, often wearing denim outfits. Annie loved Christmas, and her sister Eva said she sometimes would sleepwalk, which Eva would watch her closely.

In 1973, Annie was sent to the Mackay Residential School in Dauphin, Manitoba, far from Dene Village. The Christian Church ran these residential schools, and they were mostly made to abuse and strip Indigenous children away from their culture.

At the time Annie disappeared she had returned from the residential school and was staying with her brother Fred.

On June 22, 1974, Annie was apparently out with a man who was about 10 years older than her. The two were drunk and had been celebrating Treaty Day. The taxi driver said the man had to drag Annie out of the car because she was passing out, and the taxi driver was asked to pick them up later. They were dropped off 3km outside of Churchill.

When the taxi returned, the driver said Annie was not there, only the man. The man was extremely drunk. Fred did not worry immediately when Annie did not return, as he knew she had said she wanted to visit her sister Eva at some point.

Eva showed up to Dene Village on June 26, 1974, discovering that everyone had assumed Annie had been with her the past 4 days, which was not true. Annie was officially reported missing that day.

The man Annie was last seen with was questioned, but he claimed he was too drunk and did not remember much. The case went cold. In 2014, they reopened Annie's file. In June 2016, Eva was asked to give a DNA sample. It took some time for police to get to Eva again, and it is unknown if DNA was actually taken.

Eva believes her sister was murdered by the man she was seen with that night, however that man is no longer alive.

Annie Yassie was 13 years old when she went missing. She was last seen wearing a blue denim jacket, a pair of blue denim jeans, brown shoes with a 3" heel. She was thin build, 5'4, weighing around 104 pounds. She has black hair and brown eyes.

If anyone has info they are to contact the Cold Case Unit of the Winnipeg RCMP at 204-983-5461. If you would like to remain anonymous you can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

3. Caitlin Potts

Caitlin was last heard from on February 22, 2016, through a Facebook message to her sister. She was 27 years old at the time, from the Sampson Cree First Nation. Caitlin was last seen by a witness in Enderby, British Columbia, Canada.

Caitlin was reported missing on March 1, 2016, however an official missing alert on the RCMP's website did not appear until March 21.

In June 2016, Caitlin's mother, Priscilla, contacted Indigenous groups in the province to help conduct a search for her daughter. Caitlin was in foster care until she was 11 years old.

Priscilla describes her daughter has happy as a child and extremely smart. Caitlin was born and raised in Alberta, however was living in B.C. at the time of her disappearance. Caitlin was living in Edmonton, Alberta with her younger sister, Codi, before recently moving to Enderby, B.C. where her boyfriend had moved.

Caitlin did not have the best relationship with her boyfriend and the two were on and off for about 2 months before she had disappeared. Codi claims Caitlin's boyfriend was physically abusive towards her and Caitlin would show up with bruises.

Codi said Caitlin's boyfriend had been arrested before and during that time Caitlin had stayed in a Salmon Arm women's shelter. Caitlin was doing good, going to school and working at Tim Horton's, however a few months later she went back to him.

Codi said Caitlin had texted her boyfriend the day she went missing and was upset over money he owed her. Caitlin also messaged Codi that she had found a ride to Calgary from Kijiji. Caitlin's roommate from the women's shelter had said Caitlin told her she met a stranger the night before.

Caitlin was seen by a witness in Enderby, and she had texted her sister that she was in Kelowna, B.C. before she disappeared.

Caitlin Potts was about 5'3, 150 pounds with brown eyes and long black hair with blonde streaks. Anyone who has info is to contact the Vernon RCMP at 250-545-7171 or anonymously Crime Stoppers at 1-888-222-8477.

4. Betsy Rosa Owens

Betsy was born July 7, 1973. She was a member of the Pauingassi First Nation, in Manitoba, Canada, and was extremely close with her sisters, Caroline Owens and Valerie Leveque. Betsy loved swimming with her sisters in Fishing Lake.

Betsy was described as a nice girl, who would go out of her way to avoid trouble. She loved music, and at the time of her disappearance she loved the song "Manic Monday" by The Bangles.

On October 22, 1988, Betsy was going to attend a dance with her boyfriend. Betsy and her boyfriend left the dance around 11pm. The last time her boyfriend saw her was the next morning, October 23, when she left his house.

Community members searched for Betsy as soon as she was discovered as missing, however no one found anything. Law enforcement conducted searches in 1996 and 1997 and found nothing.

In 2013, Caroline provided samples of DNA in case Betsy's remains were ever found.

Many rumours have been spread throughout the community, with many members believing they know who was involved in Betsy's disappearance. Betsy's family is not happy with police, as they say they rarely visit Pauingassi First Nation, and should have made more of an effort.

The lead investigator believes Betsy was met with foul play, but there's not enough evidence to arrest anyone.

Betsy was 15 years old at the time of her disappearance. She was last seen wearing a white cotton hooded sweater, a blue denim jacket, blue denim jeans and white high top runners. She was slender built, 5'3 in height, and weighed 119 pounds. She has long black hair and brown eyes.

If Betsy was alive today she would be 50 years old, turning 51 in July 2024. If you have any info you can contact the Winnipeg detachment of the RCMP at 204-983-5461.

5. Tamara Lynn Chipman

Tamara was from Moricetown Band, First Nation, now known as Witset, in British Columbia, Canada. She loved going on her dad's fishing boat and being outside. Tamara was described as lively and would not back down from a situation.

Tamara was 22 years old and the mother of a 2 year old son, when she went missing on September 21, 2005, near Prince Rupert, B.C. Being a young mother, it was said that Tamara began to hangout with the wrong crowd.

The people close to Tamara had speculated that she may be getting involved in drugs. In September 2005, Tamara had been in Prince Rupert, where her mother lived, for a few days without a car, as her car had broken down a few weeks earlier. Tamara was hitchhiking east, towards Terrace where her father lived.

In early November 2005, Tamara's father, Tom, realized no one had heard from his daughter and her rent had not been paid. Her bank account had also not been touched. Tom reported Tamara missing to the RCMP.

On November 15, 2005, an official search for her began. There was a claimed sighting of her in Vancouver, but no further evidence was found.

There was no named suspects but RCMP say they are pretty certain they know what happened. Two men and one woman have come forward claiming to have seen Tamara hitchhiking and picked her up. The woman said they were driving towards Terrace, when one of the men began arguing with Tamara and hit her, strangling her to death in the car.

They then pulled over in a remote area along the highway and dumped her body. The man who killed her returned to the area later to move and bury her body in the forest. The police searched this supposed area with the woman but Tamara's body was never home. The witness and two men have since died.

Tamara was last seen on an stretch of Highway 16, between Prince George and Prince Rupert, also known as the Highway of Tears, because many have disappeared from this highway.

Tamara's disappearance remains unsolved and no body has ever been found if the claims of her being murdered are true.

fire lord zuko and his very close friend ambassador Sokka thanks to the canadian museum of history for its archive of inuit and cree clothing that i referenced :] some beading inspired by Paatlirmiut

[bugtoonz]

I got some characters for your headcanon station! :D

• Bradley. Do it. I'm hyper with the skunk >:)

• Vin Moosk! He's cool!! X3

• Numbuhs 86 and 362! Our beloved moongirls <3

• Julie (the girl from op. P.O.I.N.T.)! Cute and underrated character!!

• and our supreme girlboss... NUMBUH 23 🖤❤️

(Sorry if I sent so many asks! XD)

Hope you have an awesome day! 💕

Not too many at all! I love the variety. Since there’s so many, I’ll probably only 1-2 headcanons for each.

Bradley’s favorite room in the treehouse to sleep in is Wally’s. You know how animals always seem to know which person in the room likes them the least and then consciously choose to bother that person the most? That’s Bradley lmao. He also has a wide collection of sweaters that Kuki likes to dress him up in, but after his robo-surgery it’s a lot harder to put them on.

Okay to be completely transparent I totally forgot Vin Moosk existed and had to google him. Fake fan guys, sorry. Anyways, after Moosk breaks free of his accounting job (again), he begins his new career as a menswear bounty hunter! Since the queen tie has been defeated, he’s broadened his horizons and dedicated himself to stopping all sorts of stiff, expensive clothing. Windsor is currently trying to locate him, to no avail.

Numbuhs 86 and 362 spend most of their lunch breaks together. Rachel is often too busy to leave her office so Fanny brings her lunch to her, and they sit and talk about all the crazy confidential data they’re privy too and also how much Fanny hates stupid boys. Sometimes Rachel nods off during the conversation, but Fanny is usually too caught up in her own ranting to even notice.

Julie is one of Cree’s friends, as they’re both on McClintock High’s volleyball team. She isn’t a teen ninja, however. She’s too nice for that. Her and Marty end up breaking up a few months after their attempted date at The Point, but in typical teenage fashion get back together when they realize they can’t live without each other (they break up again next month).

I loveeee Virginia. She was 100% the girl that tried to make you eat earth worms in kindergarten. She really likes old school fighting games like Street Fighter and Tekken. Her and Bartie once connected her game console to one of the main monitors of the Moonbase Observation Bridge and were officially banned from Moonbase for a week for it. It was totally worth it.

assume (short explanation)

from my perspective

en español abajo, más resumido

1. Please. Stop complicating things, assuming is nothing out of this world, you do it (yes you) always, it is not external because it is something you want.

what is assuming? easy, it is believing in something without the need for proof or questioning, in this case, without looking for evidence in 3D

just that, we always do it

we assume that we are alive, that tomorrow will be another day and we will wake up, that we breathe, that we are of x gender, that we are called x way, that we live on earth, etc.

How do I apply this to my desire? You assume that it is yours, without needing to complicate it, you just decide and persist.

U want an example because u think u need one?

Steps for the anxious or desperate who want steps (I don't judge, I was like that)

I want to be tall

I decide and/or affirm that I am tall

I live knowing that (It's literally just living, without complicating that)

I persist in that, I think about it from what has been done (that is, I think like a tall person, as an example, when you buy clothes, you say this is long but it will look good on me because I am tall)

ready, It is already manifested... are you looking for unnecessary testing because you don't believe that? (First, we started off badly YOU DON'T BELIEVE you're like that, reread this) visualize and/or confirm that it is done.

It doesn't work for you? You think it won't work? That's the problem, YOU ASSUME it won't work like that, CHANGE THAT and that's it.

IT'S JUST THAT! DON'T COMPLICATE THINGS

1. Por favor. Dejen de complicar las cosas, asumir no es nada del otro mundo, vos lo haces (si vos) siempre, no es algo externo porque se trata de algo que querés.

que es asumir? es creer en algo sin la necesidad de pruebas y/o dudas, es decir, se da algo por válido sin la necesidad de demostrarlo.

es solo eso, siempre lo hacemos.

asumimos que estamos vivos, que mañana será otro día y despertaremos, que respiramos, que somos de x género, nos llamamos de x forma, que vivimos en la tierra, etc.

como lo aplico a mis "deseos? asumis (crees) que eso ya es tuyo, sin complicala, solo decidis y persistis.

simples pasos o explicacion

1. quiero ser alta

2. decido y persisto en la asunción de que soy alta

3. vivo sabiendo eso (es solo seguir tu vida sin preocuparte por eso, ya eres asi)

4. persistir, vivo como esa persona (es facil, si querés ser alta simplemente no pensás que sos baja, si compras ropa pensás "esto es largo, seguro me quedara, soy alta" de forma natural)

No funciona? Vos CREES que no funciona? Mejor dicho. Ahí esta el problema. Si asumis que no te va a funcionar, no va a hacerlo, cambia eso.

Bat Fledgling: Pt 9 - Party

Previous - Next - MasterPost

Summary: Kiri receives a welcome party and tries cake!

Bit of a fluffy chapter. A few more chapters and this story will finish. There will be other stories with Kiri.

He held Kiri up above him. The boy giggled and kicked his legs in anticipation.

He tossed him up into the air. Kiri squealing with delight before he caught him and pulled him down into a hug.

He had been up all night, watching over his son’s sleep. A few times he grew impatient and considered waking him but decided against it. At one point he had laid him down on the bed. Kiri started whimper and whine with the dream he was having but a simple caress of his face caused him to subside.

He guessed that the bed wetting was fear induced along with the night terrors and bad dreams.

He would not sleep alone again. Someone would always be standing guard, watching over him, holding his hand.

His feet were dirty. They needed to make him some shoes.

Many questions swarmed the Primarch’s head concerning Kiri’s future. Worry ate at his stomach. But one thing was for certain. This felt right.

Adile’s gasp and shouting ‘yay’ was enough to confirm that for him.

He let Hoffay know to have everyone gather for somewhat of a welcome party for Kiri during breakfast time.

“What are we going to do today?” Kiri asked while grinning at him.

“Oh you’ll see,” Corvus smiled.

He got dressed and helped Kiri into another set of clothes.

He brought him out and headed to the dining hall.

As soon as they entered Adile yelled, “Surprise!”

Others clapped and welcomed them.

Kiri looked around, seeing every warband member there.

“What’s going on?” He asked bewildered.

Adile clapped his hands, “We’re having a party! Becuase you’re officially part of the warband! Griggs made this for it!”

He motioned to the cake the world eater had made, now on display.

Kiri’s eyes widened as he saw the multi-tiered cake, glittering colored frosting and intricate designs.

“Is that a statue?” He asked.

“This is cake,” Griggs answered.

“What’s cake?” Kiri asked as he stared at it.

“A sweet Terran delicacy made with sugars, binders, and powder made from some type of grain,” Griggs answered. “It’s a traditional desert and often coveted. It’s a treat and sweet.”

“How did we get it?” Kiri asked, eyes reflefting glittering sugar crystals.

“We’ve had ten thousand years to gather and build up our supplies,” replied Onen, the lone Luna Wolf of the band. “We’ve cultivated a lot and somethings we just have on hand.”

Nentis piped up, “Also, the angrier Griggs is when he makes something the better it tastes because the secret ingredient is hate. If it tastes terrible that means he was in a good mood.”

“You don’t get any,” Griggs stated.

“Aw, come on Griggsy!” Nentis whined.

The world eater added while picking up a knife, “if you even manage to get a single morsel I will chop your hand off.”

Nentis turn to Corvus.

“I’m not taking away your consequences,” he said to his son before he could ask.

Nentis went back to scheming.

Corvus shook his head and set Kiri on the counter. He’d learned long ago to leave the two to handle themselves.

Kiri looked around at everyone, seeing he was the center of attention.

“We welcome our newest warband member and brother,” Honsin announced. “Kiri Corax, in the name of the Emperor, beloved by all.”

Everyone did the Aquila and shouted, “Victorus aut Mortis!”

Each member officially greeted Kiri, patting him on the back and ruffling his hair. Commenting on how he’d become a fine Astartes and he would be an important part of the team.

His eyes seemed to become brighter, so full of life as he held his hands to his chest. His smile growing with each official welcome.

Adile started chanting a cree for the emperor in a singsong tune. The others joined in. A bit of their own tradition in welcoming a new member.

Corvus could feel that warm fuzzy sensation inside his chest as he watched Kiri take it all in. His son had never felt appreciated like this before. With so many people caring for him. Corvus wanted him to feel like this all the time. To have no doubt he was loved.

The Primarch moved up and placed a hand on his back. Kiri beamed up at him, tears brimming in his eyes.

Griggs cut a small slice and served it to Kiri.

The boy stared and used the fork provided to take a small bite. He lit up.

“Mmmm!!” He gushed. “So sweet! I love it! Thank you!”

He began shoving more into his mouth. Griggs went stone faced and turned back to the cake but not before a single tear escaped an eye.

“Slow down,” Balsarius grinned. “You’ll get a tummy ache.”

Slices were handed out to everyone. Except Nentis.

His son sat there contemplating, watching Kiri obviously enjoying his treat and Adile doing his happy dance at his slice.

He groaned, “Fine, I’m sorry Griggs. Your food is really good and I’d kill for it.”

Griggs stared at him.

“And you’re the most handsome Astartes here. Please! Can I have a slice? I will clean your room, be your serf for a week, I will even rub your feet!”

“That’s acceptable,” the world eater muttered as he sliced a smaller piece than the others for him.

Nentis jumped for joy, happily taking the piece.

Kiri came up to Corvus and whispered, “Why do they hate each other?”

“They don’t,” Corvus assured. “That’s just how they are.”

“Do they like each other all?” He asked.

Nentis grinned up at Griggs. Griggs grumbled and cut a bit more so his matched everyone’s.

“Yes,” the Primarch answered.

Adile set down his slice and jumped up, making grabby motions at Kiri.

“Come here baby!” He cooed.

Kiri grinning and into his arms. Adile held him, cuddling him close. He wiped the frosting off of Kiri’s face.

He rocked from side to side, holding the boy protectively.

“I’m so happy baby Kiri gets to stay!” He cheered.

Honsin stretched as he stood.

“Alright, Adile,” he said as he held out his hands. “My turn.”

“But I’m holding the baby,” Adile stated as he turned slightly away from him.

“You’ve had him for long enough.” Honsin chuckled.

Adile replied, “But I’m not done!”

“Come on Adile,” he insisted as he moved to grab Kiri.

Adile swung around and Kiri giggled.

“No, I’m not done.”

Honsin kept trying to be gentle and take Kiri from him but the emperors child kept moving away from him or dodging.

“Give me the baby.” Honsin said firmly.

“Mmm, not right now.” Adile mused as he tucked away some of Kiri’s hair.

“No, just give me him-“

“I don’t think so.”

“Adile.”

“I’m busy.”

“Just let me hold him.”

“Talk to me later.”

“Adile, now-“

“I don’t think so.”

“Stop being-“

“Leave me alone, please!”

“You’ve held him more than any of us.”

“Denied.”

“Work with me.”

“No thank you.”

“Will you-“

“Occupied!”

“No, I-“

“I’m not talking to you.”

“Stop it, Adile!”

“I don’t think I will.”

“Give-“

“Not today.”

“Give me the baby!”

“Feth off!”

Honsin burst, “GIVE ME THE DAMN BABY!”

“NO!” Adile snapped as he bolted.

Honsin chased after him.

“Give me the baby!!”

“No!!”

“Adile give me the damn baby!!”

“Never! He’s mine!!”

The two ran around the room as Kiri giggled and watched amused from Adile’s arms, warning him when Honsin was close or trying to cut them off.

“Uh, my lord?” Edant inquired. “Shouldn’t we-“

“I’m ignoring that,” Corvus replied while taking another bite.

Nentis raised his slice of cake, “To about ten thousand years of fighting the good fight and dealing with all you arses. I love you guys all so much.”

He grinned.

“I’d sell you to the black legion for a burnt purity seal,” Griggs muttered.

Adile dashed through the circle, Honsin losing ground behind him.

Bronson muttered, “This is unbecoming of an Astartes.”

Onen had a devious look cross his face. “Unbecoming like this?”

He jumped up into a stance where he shook his rear and moved backwards.

Bronson moved to smack him but Onen dashed away.

“Stop doing that!” He snapped at the Luna Wolf as he hid behind Irvun.

Both wolves snickered.

Rio moved from the shadows, a rare sight.

“C-can I hold him?” He asked in a soft voice.

Adile and Honsin slid to a halt.

“Sure!” Adile said happily.

Honsin just nodded, trying not to appear disappointed.

Kiri stared at the large Night Lord as he wrapped his one arm around the boy.

He grinned up at the older man, “I like your ears.”

He giggled as they perked forward. He reached up and touched them gently, filled with curiosity.

Rio cocked his head as he studied the boy.

“You do not fear us,” he commented. “No mutation phases you.”

Kiri cocked his own head, “Its all I know though. Everyone has mutations here.”

Rio smiled sweetly at him.

Tevro came up and ruffled the boy’s hair, “well baby brother, what role will you play here?”

“He can be our official neophyte,” Irvun offered.

“I thought Vosos and I were the neophytes?” Andrur said.

The aforementioned night lord frowned, “But we’re not neophytes anymore. We finished the Astartes process. Also that was ten millennia ago.”

Bora muttered, “I’m not working on you anymore. You were stressful.”

Andrur’s tail flicked from side to side.

“You’re just jealous you haven’t been the baby in a while,” Nentis teased.

“Well none of you have ever been this cute,” Balsarius stated.

Adile gasped.

“Except you Adile,” he added.

Adile scrunched his eyes happily.

“Eat your cake,” Griggs orders the emperor’s child.

Adile snatched his plate and scampered to the corner with Xach.

“Any reflective surfaces?” He questioned.

Xach shook his head. Adile gingerly removed his mask.

Kiri glanced at his jaw for a second but didn’t linger. Corvus was relieved. Appearance was a sour subject for Adile. He was glad Kiri didn’t stare.

Tevro stayed near Kiri, “We can show you how to clean a bolter, how to properly aim, battle sign, different battle plans. So many things. Oh! We can teach you how to crawl through vents.”

“But I already know how to do that?” Kiri questioned.

Avikona piped up, “It was common knowledge of how to move through vents for night lord neophytes. For lots of Nostramon children as well.”

Rio looked down at Kiri and spoke in their native tongue. Kiri grinned and replied back happily. Even his high pitched voice made the rough language sound cute.

Corvus rested his head on his fist, smiling at seeing all his sons interact with one another.

Tevro grinned, “I used to be an older brother before I joined the Astartes. I can show you all the games we’d play.”

Kiri reached out to catch one of Tevro’s braids.

“A lot of people have long hair,” he said. “I want long hair too!”

Irvun laughed, “Yes! Then we can style it back for you. Many ways to keep it out of the way for battle. I already know what ones to do first for you.”

The space wolf came up and ran fingers through Kiri’s hair.

“Braid in this section, cross here, yes, a good plan,” he mumbled as Kiri leaned back into the feeling. “Add volume right here… flush to the head in this section… once it’s longer we can try this type… Might be able to find some bones to braid in on our next scavenging mission.”

“He also needs shoes,” Corvus mentioned.

“Got it,” Avikona nodded, taking out his pen and scribbling on his arm.

Vosos offered, “There’s that one wreck in the fifth quadrant of the coral dunes near the realm of the Blood Daemon. It had been housing guard families. There’s blind to be supplies there. We haven’t checked it in a bit.”

“Good recall,” Corvus complimented. “We can set that for our next expedition.”

“You’re going out into the warp?” Kiri asked.

The Primarch nodded, “Yes, to search imperium ship-wreckage for goods and supplies. You’ll stay here. It’s too dangerous for you.”

Kiri nodded.

“He could fit in places we can’t though,” Xach pointed out.

Kiri shrunk in Rio’s arms. The Night Lord nuzzled his head instinctively.

“No,” Corvus shook his head. “I don’t want to risk it. Also, those that had him previously used him for that. Not a good experience for him.”

Kiri shook his head.

Honsin came up and took Kiri from Rio.

“You won’t be used like that anymore,” he assured.

Kiri rested his head against the chaplain’s chest as Honsin stroked his back.

Griggs sliced another piece of cake for Kiri.

“Do you want more?” He asked, trying to cheer him up. “I see you eyeing it.”

Kiri nodded. Honsin held the plate for him as he took more bites.

“I want more,” Nentis said.

Griggs slowly turned his head to meet Nentis’ gaze. The Raven guard was grinning.

“Absolutely not.”

“Oh come on,” Nentis slumped.

Griggs warned, “If there is even a single granule of sugar moved I will light your bed on fire whether you did it or not.”

Nentis immediately turned around to Balsarius who smiled cheekily.

“You just got volunteered for patrol,” he spoke.

Nentis dropped, “Oh come on.”

“You’ll be payed with another slice,” Griggs muttered. “Double serving.”

Nentis jumped to his feet, “Sir, yes, sir! That cake is safe!”

They fell back into conversing. Honsin set Kiri down to allow him to run back to Corvus.

He sat him on his lap.

The boy looked around and grinned, “Um, thank you, everyone. This is nice. I like it! I’m happy to be here.”

“You’re welcome,” Balsarius mused. “You are such a ray of sunshine. You could make the whole greenhouse grow.”
