Hello! This is my Iron Hands Impulsor/Gladiator platform. I plan on posting more of my army and current projects here but for now have a neat little vehicle.

Roses for You (3)

This had all started when you noticed a link between a book on the language of flowers you had borrowed from Satan’s room and the current lessons from your Seductive Speechcraft and Magical Potions classes.

In Seductive Speechcraft, you had just reached a section on the effectiveness of spells using non-verbal communication: enchanting glances, dance, and offerings. Meanwhile, in Magical Potions, the professor had been discussing the significance of using specific quantities when concocting potions; they had spent fifteen minutes just providing examples – including adding petals from two different flowers when using them for a love spell.

You couldn’t resist discussing the use of flower language – utilizing the type, color, and quantity of the flowers – to specify the magical intent of an offering as a form of seductive speechcraft. Asmo and Solomon listened intently. The same idea popped into both of their minds, and before you knew it, everyone was looking into color and number meanings, searching for the perfect combination to convey their feelings for you and try to put you under their spell. The only rule for their little competition to charm you? Only roses are allowed.

Will you be charmed by their attempts?

Three Roses - Leviathan

Word Count: +700

"I love you"

You had fallen asleep in Levi’s room last night while he was gaming. Too exhausted to keep playing with Levi, you curled up in the massive blanket and pillow nest that he had so carefully crafted before your arrival. Levi was even considerate enough to select a chill single player game as you dozed off. Ambient music, the soft clicks of controller buttons, and Levi’s occasional humming soothed you to sleep.

It wasn’t until he gifted one of the romanceable characters a flower and watched their heart gauge increase that he remembered all the research he had done that week to come up with the perfect rose color and number combination to convey his feelings for you. Levi scrambled to grab his phone and opened the tab for the online flower delivery service he had looked into (by some miracle, they had a 95% rate of 5-star customer reviews, and Levi figured that was worth a try). The delivery was scheduled for first thing in the morning with the hope that Levi would be able to surprise you when you woke up.

With the order confirmed and a tracking link for his delivery, Levi finished up his day in the game and saved before he crawled into the nest with you. He curled up with his head on your thighs and drifted into a light slumber. This was the reason Levi made nests when you planned to stay the night. His bathtub was a bit cramped, and it was more suitable for spooning than for him to cuddle up against your legs – not that he hated being your little spoon, but nothing was better than getting to bury his face in your thighs.

Levi got a notification that woke him up early. You were still asleep when he slipped downstairs and retrieved the delivery. The roses were perfect. He prepared them, trimming the stems at an angle and placing them in a vase before he brought the roses upstairs. Levi set the vase down on a table near his tub. That should be safe for now. Excitedly returning to his nest, Levi cuddled back up to your thighs, nuzzling your skin. He couldn’t wait for you to wake up – nor did he have to. The pressure on your legs caused you to stir with a soft groan.

“Levi,” you moaned, knitting your brows, and opening one eye.

Much to his embarrassment and disappointment, Levi shot up from his position on your thighs with a squeak. The dim blue light of the room was still bright enough to illuminate his blush-stained cheeks. “H-hi. Good-g’morning, MC. Did you, uhm, sleep well?”

“Morning, babygirl.” You sighed and shifted up on one elbow. You heard something like a stifled whimper from Levi’s direction.

“I-I got you a present,” Levi added quickly in a hushed voice. He scrambled up to grab the roses.

“A present?” You sat up fully, yawned, and stretched. When you opened your eyes again, using both hands, Levi held out a vase with three dark pink roses in it. Even in your half-tired state, your brain still registered the number’s meaning: three – one for each word. I love you. A tired grin found your lips. Dark pink, on the other hand, you thought, affection? No. A different “a” word. Appreciation, maybe?

You got your confirmation when Levi shut his eyes tight – his face turning a vibrant, but much softer shade of pink than the roses – and spoke louder than he intended, nearly shouting, “Thank you for loving me!”

“Come here, babygirl. Come cuddle with me.” You motioned for him to join you. Levi searched the room for a stable surface to set the roses on so he could crawl into your embrace. He was straddling your lap when you pulled him in by the hips and looked up at his flustered face. “Can I kiss you?”

Levi squeaked again and quickly nodded – too shy to give you the “yes, please” that was screaming in his head. You gave him a slow, gentle kiss that earned you soft moans.

When you pulled back, Levi was panting slightly. The blush still stained his face up to his ears. “Uhm, would you mind if we – well, could you stay here today and l-love me a little more?”

“I’ll love you as much as you want me to.”

i've never heard anything about valjean's beard being anachronistic, can you elaborate please?? :0

I’ll elaborate! I’m not completely sure about this, and anyone who knows more about fashion history can feel free to correct me! : D

Basically: I’ve heard that in the 1820s-1830s it was generally fashionable for French men to either be clean shaven OR to have facial hair on anywhere but their chin. Clean shaven faces were good, sideburns and muttonchops were good, moustaches were good— but beards/unshaven chins were out of fashion.

So having an unshaven chin marked you as someone out of touch with fashion/too poor and busy to care…or as an eccentric artistic type, part of the Romanticism movement. Thenardier even references this later on when he refers to his beard as “a Romantic beard.” I believe one of Les Amis sees Thenardier at some point and comments that he looks like a poet, probably partially because of the “romantic beard.”

Valjean is bearded after he leaves prison. This is meant to stress how much of an outcast he is, how he’s shaggy and unkempt and someone who hasn’t seen any barbers except the ones in prison who did the bare minimum.

But “Madeleine” is Valjean pretending to be a perfect completely normal unsuspicious member of the bourgeoise. Something like a Romantic Beard would draw attention and be eccentric, but Valjean is trying not to make himself stand out so it might not make a lot of sense.

Most early iconic illustrations/adaptations of Les mis depict Valjean beardless.

IIRC the reason bearded Valjean is so common now is because of the musical and especially Colm Wilkinson. Colm didn’t want to shave his beard for the part, which iirc became a point of contention, with the directors insisting Valjean is not usually iconically depicted with a beard. Colm was only able to keep the beard after he managed to dig up a few old illustrations that depicted Valjean with one. And from there….Colm was so memorable in the role that it had a massive impact on the way the musical was cast going forward. Most later stagings of the musical also give Valjean a beard, in large part because giving a character a beard is a good short hand for “old wise dude.” I’ve heard the 2012 movie is technically more historically accurate because it depicts him clean-shaven.

But again, I’d have to dig around to find actual sources for all this, and I’d take everything in this post with a grain of salt.

EITHER WAY

my argument is that I think Valjean can have a beard solely for the Symbolism. Lots of heavy parallels are constantly drawn between Valjean and St Nicholas of Myra— and St Nicholas is almost universally always depicted with a beard. So I think it’s okay to let Valjean be a bit eccentric/unfashionable for the sake of Symbolism… like? you can’t draw a beardless Santa Claus, it just isn’t right.

work today was actually kinda fun im so powerful <3

omg remember when i said “whenever a customer gets angry with me about a discount they have zero entitlement to i should be allowed to be in a shirt that has like a wonky lookin smiley face or fuzzy 3D mushroom on it. like i just think the absurd degree of their clownery might hit a lil quicker if i could zone out in a tacosaurus (stegosaurus but a taco) shirt”

my dream in a way came trueee <3

so again disclaimer do not try to google shit in an attempt to figure out where i work but we always have some type promo going to get people buying. and starting today fr easter if people buy fr X amount theyd get a pair of complimentary bunny ears. theyre rlly cute btw my colleagues and i wore them p much all day <3 theyre also put up fr sale WITH a matching lil bag fr kids to collect eggs in (theoretically i guess bc it’s like. fully lined w fabric. its just an open lil bunny purse of like light brown teddy fabric. i suppose you could also take this to the club).

but the conditions are like ok. this action started 1. today 2. starting frm a purchase worth X amount of money 3. u get a pair of bunny ears if you have a child with you present. no “oh i have three kids at home can i take three w me” no only if there is a child present with you THEN you get aforementioned headband w soft lil bunny ears.

which sucks a lil having to disappoint people who spend the money to get there and then i have to tell them im sorry. if you really want the ears you can either purchase a pair. or i can put this stack of clothes aside fr you and you can come back and make the purchase later this week with yr kid present if we still have a stock of free ears left to hand out by then??

but a lady had already been rude to one rlly sweet colleague and then she came in fresh w me trying again and getting real rude when that didnt work as she had planned and she was denied a second time in one afternoon <3 im sorry it was kinda funny like are you not embarrassed..

SO proud of myself tho fr not letting it get to me! she was like WOW i bought for like 80 euros worth of stuff last weekend and didnt get any so?? im just like oh thatd be correct we just got these the action started today :) starting today we are handing out ears. shes like WELL but i made a purchase just yesterday so you cant give me some now? thats kinda ridiculous. what if i return all the stuff i bought and then but it again do i get the ears then? im like yes :) shes like well huff thats just nonsensical!! thats the instructions ive been given ma’am <3 so if i do that THEN i would get the ears thats ridiculous maybe i WILL do that. im just like okie youre free to do that <33 oh if you do be sure to bring yr kids with you though bc otherwise i still wouldnt be allowed to give you anything <3 thats STUPID. :D well i dont make these decisions ma’am the easter action started. today

she kept bitching abt it clearly annoyed that nagging and making a fuss didnt get her her way <3 you shouldve seen her face when i offered that if she really wanted them so bad we also offered them fr sale so she could get as many as she wanted oh my god. she threw down her customer card on the till and i just went like thank you <3 *scans it. do you know how powerful it is to deny a woman the complimentary pair of five euro bunny ears she feels entitled to and feel absolutely zero guilt about that? all the while wearing said bunny ears right on top of your head. i AM the manager.

..... i am not in fact the manager just the one w most seniority present at the time. the actual manager had her day off and if the lady returns and bothers her about it the same way chances are she’ll get two pairs and an apology to boot. but not today and not from me <3 peace and love on planet earth

I’ve been staring at these (and a third triple line up that I literally only have the poses for) for like a few months so have some WIPs of Nik in fancy wear and my phantom rogue Lucian’s general get up (kindofsorta I’m playing with ideas still)

I keep waffling on Nik’s outfit because I want it to be thinner and more flowing, but can’t get it in that nice mid ground of feminine but not straight up a dress, ya feel?

Thanks for telling me that BTS is problematic. /gen

...i genuinely don't remember posting anything about that particular racist boy band, so i can only assume you got this tidbit from my carrd... which has precisely zero details about why they're, quote, "problematic" (the answer is their antiblack racism). they're just... included in a list of examples.

context for readers -- the list in question is this:

i also block anyone who supports popular creators who have an ongoing pattern of harmful behavior and/or have not properly apologized for past wrongs, including author j. k. rowling, minecraft youtuber "dream" and members of his survival multiplayer server/roleplay production, the k-pop band "bts", and similar others.

considering that is literally all i can recall EVER saying about bts, i strongly recommend actually looking into what black bloggers have written about their history of appropriation of black culture. y'know, instead of just taking me at my carrd, considering i'm just some random white nonhuman on the internet.

anyway, no offense, but you're a minor with an apparent penis gif in your header, so unless you change the header and/or truthfully report back that you are no longer 17 and simply haven't updated your bio, i'm going to have to block you, because i am not even a little bit comfortable engaging with minors who are posting sexual shit in any context. like, i'm 26. i'm 9(?) years older than you. please understand that this boundary is neither trivial nor ignorable for me.
