#Gardenia Grotto

[ryubliss-central]

I decided it’d be a good idea to have a size/color reference pic for all of the moderators.

Lychee/Lichen Fur- @ask-justfreshshapes-andbeats

Nym- @plaquebeat

Cherry Bloom- @aquatic-turquoise

Faust- @qwertythepopstarian08

Each “Mod” Ryubliss, within the universe canon, controls and rules over a separate island in the Ryuniverse Archipelago.

Faust is in charge of Notion Knoll, a rural, hilly, forested island dominated by lively, yet cozy communities.

Lychee watches over Moonstone Creek, a tranquil fishing village which is home to a surprisingly bustling, boisterous marketplace.

Nym is the keeper of Shift City, a constantly moving, upbeat society of nocturnal Ryubliss who are always traveling and meeting new Dreamfolk.

And last, but certainly not least, Cherry Bloom guards the Gardenia Grotto, a town known for its sprawling flower fields and homes tucked away in burrows and caverns.

The center island, Origin, is ruled only by Worldview herself, its land only set foot upon by those deemed worthy.

Sinnoh remake gym design ideas:

[another long post BUT Plz do give this a read!!]

Roark: FOSSILS EVERYWHERE!! YOU GOT FOSSILS STICKING OUT OF THE WALLS!! A HUGE FOSSIL OVERLOOKING ROARK’S STATION!! Please!!! Maybe you got some unique like.. platforms or bridges you you gotta cross to get to Roark!! That would be so cool!!

Gardenia: Combine! The! Two! Designs! From! DP! And Platinum! You start in the garden maze, trying to hunt down the well hidden trainers, each trainer you beat, you see the clock turn, you have to find and beat all of the trainers to get the clock to turn to the right formation so you can reach Gardenia at the end! Gardenia could even be sitting inside a place at the end similar to a Hidden Grotto from BW/2!

Maylene: There are two levels, the first shows a training area where most gym trainers reside, alongside a sliding puzzle that merges the two puzzles from DP & Pt. You solve that and gain access to steps that lead you to the second level. The second level is a large arena with barriers similar to a boxing/wrestling ring. You are challenged by 2 stronger gym trainers, after beating them in a row, Maylene shows up and despite her petite appearance, she’s very well trained in combat and her Pokemon are even more skilled in battle! It’s a very simple gym, but it puts both mind and body to the test to get to her!

Crasher Wake: Wrestling rings on platforms. There are waterfalls around the walls of the gym. You still need to maneuver around and press buttons for the water levels to rise and fall. Lower level rings hold swimmer and tuber trainers, the higher rings hold fishermen and sailors, so when the water levels rise and cover the lower rings, the trainers at the bottom will be fine and will be seen floating on the water safely. At the highest and furthest back level is a grand looking ring, the biggest waterfalls sit on either side of a little stage where Crasher Wake stands, his back is turned when you arrive. He laughs and congratulates the player, turning around he will flex and give the player more praise but will ask if they are ready for the final challenge of the gym. With that said, he’ll dive into the battle singing his own theme song!

Fantina: Haunted. Ballroom. Waltzing around the room in the dark, avoiding the spotlights, the trainers that dance around are optional battles if you’re good enough at avoiding them. Maybe there’s some kind of similar puzzle to Platinum where you have to make a match of something to get through to the next section of the room and eventually you will reach Fantina who stands on a stage dancing in the spotlight!

Byron: You are literally precariously climbing a bunch of scaffolding for a steel frame building. Construction crew trainers are all around, and you get to Byron at the very top where you cross a beam in a similar way as you did for Roark, but only after you’ve gone up several crane lifts.

Candice: Upon entering Candice’s gym, you are greeted by a LARGE icy and snow covered mountain that you must climb. But be careful! there are large snowballs rolling down. If you get hit by a snowball, you’ll be knocked back down to the start. Along the way as you climb, there will be sliding puzzles, solve the sliding puzzle right and you’ll be able to progress further up the mountain, solve it wrong tho and a snowball will fall and burst open with a trainer ready to battle! Candice sits at the top with a flag and a nice little camp set, she’s been waiting and she’s all warmed up and ready to help you warm up, too, with the heat of battle!

Volkner: If his gym doesn’t have Klink line puzzles I will be severely disappointed. Take a Klink in the first room to the generator of that room to get the floors to shift around correctly for you to get to the next room, then you just rinse and repeat for that one with a Klang, and the final room is a Klinklang! And you get to battle Volkner standing in the control area with levers and things!!

[what-is-sibling-test]

Prompt: Lucy x Flynn druid handfasting ceremony??

Nonny, I absolutely loved this prompt!  I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.  

They had never been a typical couple.  It should have come as no surprise to anyone that they would apply that same unconventionality to their nuptials.  Still, they kept some aspects of a traditional wedding.  Lucy still wore a white dress and he donned a tux, mostly because Lucy loved how he looked in one.  

The entire bunker family had decided to attend (some of which did so begrudgingly).  They gathered in a circle in the shadow of the grotto at twilight.  Jiya and Denise sprinkled flower petals within the circle, as the druid priestess followed, the sweet scent of sage emanating steadily from her hand.  The priestess stopped in the circle’s center, and waited until Jiya and Denise had retaken their places.

“Merry meet!” the priestess exclaimed.

Flynn entered the circle thereafter, and then turned and waited for Lucy.  He had never seen a more beautiful bride.  His breath stilled when he first saw her, and he had to remind himself to breathe.  Her dress was of a Grecian column style, with delicate lace cap sleeves, a glittering waist belt and drapes and folds that flattered her every curve.  Her hair was in an elegant up-do, complimented by a lace veil and tear-drop shaped pearl earrings. She wore barefoot sandals made of pearls that crept up and wrapped around her ankle.  She was his goddess, his very own timeless being, about to be eternally bound to him.  

Her bouquet was large and cascaded down to her knees.  It consisted of thirteen different flowers, each symbolic in its own way.  There were Bells of Ireland and a sprig of shamrock for good luck; daisy for the innocence and beauty of the bride; lavender for devotion; peony to honor one another; ivy for fidelity; laurel for success; lily of the valley for sweetness of love; rose for passion and joy; lily for passion and purity in love; gardenia for secret love; forget-me-not for true love; and primrose for eternal love in the marriage.  Lucy handed the bouquet over to Jiya and turned to face Flynn.

Flynn lifted the veil and gently folded it back over her hair.  The priestess instructed the couple to take each other’s hands, as she held a golden goblet above their intertwined digits.  She blessed the wine and Flynn and Lucy each took a sip.   

“Blessed be,” the priestess declared as she set the goblet back down.

The priestess then removed a burgundy braided cord, and slowly wrapped it around their interlaced hands.  She summoned Rufus forward into the circle, and he leisurely strolled in, as he balanced the satin pillow in his hands.  The priestess plucked the matching platinum bands from the pillow, blessed them, and then placed one back on the pillow, as she handed the other to Flynn.

Lucy held out her left hand, her right till bound by the burgundy braid.  Flynn gingerly slipped the ring onto her finger, as he gazed softly into her sepia eyes.  

“I, Garcia Flynn, promise to love, honor and worship the very, very impressive Lucy Preston until the end of time itself.  To be my wife, my partner, my light in the never-ending darkness.”

Lucy took the ring from the priestess’ hand and slid it onto his.

“I, Lucy Preston, promise to faithfully love the complicated and amazing man named Garcia Flynn that stands before me, with every inch of my heart and soul, now and forever more.  To be my husband, my partner, my rock.”

The priestess instructed the wedding guests to ignite the white candles they had been provided.  The candlelight danced along the rays of the moon, as the priestess clasped their bound hands.  

“So mote it be.”

“May it be,” the guests stated in unison.

Lucy and Flynn peered into each other’s eyes, as they both declared, ��For as long as our love shall last.”

“You may kiss your bride,” the priestess stated with a smile.

Flynn leaned down and slowly moved towards Lucy’s luscious lips.  He paused momentarily, as he studied her face, then crashed into her with the flames of fifty fiery suns.  She responded in kind with a fervor of her own, the torsion of her tongue threading perfectly with his.  They parted a few moments later to elated cheers from their guests.  The priestess then unwound the burgundy braid from their hands.

Connor entered the circle, with the final ritual the couple had requested.  He placed a besom (broom) on the ground.  The besom was decorated with the same flowers that made up Lucy’s bouquet.  It symbolized the threshold of a new life, the sweeping away the dirt of the past.  Flynn took Lucy’s hand in his, as they jumped over the besom.  The guests cheered again and he pulled her into another embrace, kissing her softly and slowly this time, as he whispered into her ear, “I love you, Mrs. Flynn.”

Lucy stood on her tiptoes and whispered back into his ear, “I love you too, Mr. Preston.”

Something strange is afoot on Gardenia Island...

[ryubliss-central]

Location: Tusk’s Quest Guild

A rather hidden location, the eccentric Quest Guild of Rosy Point Village is a safe haven for many non-Ryubliss Dreamfolk.

Led by the youthful, yet adventurous Respie, Tusk, and his pet, a rather large Yume Mouse named Frosting, the Guild offers up rare rewards and treasures in exchange for completion of epic, perilous quests.

Although Tusk’s species has been known in the past for being a predator of Ryubliss, he’s quite a friendly critter. No one knows how he got his claws on the riches that he offers as rewards, but as a form of tentative politeness, no one really asks.

He also runs a nice, cozy tavern inside, which welcomes beings large and small to cuddle up next to a large fireplace, listen to music, and eat honey-based treats as Tusk’s loyal steed, a tame Lurker by the title of Fern, counts the supply of Gold Chi and Dream Ore.

Frosty has made it her duty to keep the Guild clean and tidy, so try not to get any primordial goo, Ryu tears, or mutagenic monster blood on her floors as you tread through.

Gardenia Grotto shall be their next target...

Arizel Fictional Holidays (Major)

On Arizel, there exist several major holidays created by Ryubliss and Respirapters

These holidays often correlate with some environmental or magical event, which returns every year predictably.

Edit 2/23/2021: All dreamfolk/spacedwellers except Exclubliss may now be created at any time, for free; however, one must have their design approved by a moderator in order for it to be included in the official database. Self-created customs, like other MYOs, must adhere to species guidelines.

(Events may be postponed or canceled due to certain circumstances.)

Opalescent Night (Exclubliss Adoption Event)

January 21; a holiday observed by Exclubliss and the Ancients. A solemn celebration of dream energy. During this night, the caverns under the islands glow with a pale lavender and blue hue, and dream energy drifts from below to fill the skies with auroras. Soft music can be heard all around, and it is said that a single Ryubliss will be chosen on this night to ascend to Epic Exclu status.

Representative: Dearest

MYO: Yes; Paid Exclu

Raffles: No

Forget-Me Nought's Day (Annual DTA)

February 1; a celebration of the coming of spring, meant to serve as a farewell to the cold weather. Hosted in Gardenia Grotto, it is said that this holiday summons warmer weather and allows the flowers to bloom. Whoever is able to summon the most beauteous and healthy flowers is said to be bestowed a lovely guardian spirit of spring, derived from the soul of a Heartsprig flower.

Guardian: Cherry Bloom

MYO: No

Raffles: No

Dance of the Moon (Official MYO Event)

Twice a year. March 20 to March 27 and September 23 to September 30; a celebration of the solstices and a representation of the balance of dreams and nightmares. Considered a sacred holiday to the Ryubliss. Ryubliss gather in the Eternal Forest in hopes of creating a new Ryubean child from their magic.

Guardian: All

MYO: Yes; Free

Raffles: No

Abyssalwish (Annual DTA)

May 3 to May 5; a period during which Lychee's village, Moonstone Creek, prepares for their annual harvest. Unlike the rest of the Ryuniverse, the Creek must harvest moone moss and special tea leaves for the Banquet of Magic earlier in the year. The disruption of the moss around the banks of the rivers disturbs the slumber of their primary target, a giant Abyssalite whose tears are said to alleviate stress. As part of the festivities, Lychee possesses the ability to gift a Ryubliss with a Ryububble form, which is permanent and lasts even after the festivities.

Guardian: Lychee

MYO: No

Raffles: No

Hunter's Festival (Annual DTA)

August 5 to August 12; a new holiday celebrated by Respies. On this week, Tusk's Quest Guild offers a prize to anyone who can defeat a live Lurker in ceremonial combat. The Lurker is to be kept alive, in respect to Tusk's friend, Fern. The winner is said to receive a treasure beyond their wildest dreams... an orphaned Respie egg, entrusted to those who prove their ability to protect and care for it.

Host: Tusk's Quest Guild

MYO: Yes; winner receives MYO slot.

Raffles: No

Climax of the Sun (Raffle Event)

Unspecified period between September to October; an event during which nightmare and dream forces clash and duel, torn between summer and fall. Nightmare Ryubliss are said to grow in power during this time, likely due to this being the month of Phobia's birth. Nym, patron of Shift City, is called upon to keep the peace during this time, all while searching for a new home for whatever spirits have been awakened by the turmoil.

Guardian: Nym

MYO: No

Raffles: Yes

Banquet of Magic (Raffle Event)

November 22 to December 7; the annual end of fall feast held by the local leaders of Notion Knoll. The land is blanketed in beautiful, crystalline snow which magically smells of cinnamon and honey, slowly shifting to a peppermint smell as winter approaches. Dream energy rises in power, attracting new visitors to the region every year.

Guardian: Faust

MYO: No

Raffles: Daily raffle for all species
