THEY BUFFED D'EON WITH A BUSTED BUFF REMOVAL RESIST, HER SKILL IS A PARTY WIDE ENTIRELY TURN BUFF. I'm surprised they gave such a buff to dD'eon, honestly, but I'm glad their giving these older servants buffs!

I hope maybe they'll buff her np next. It's so outdated, maybe a defense up buff to leen into the taunt thing she has going on with her third skill oh and they could also give her a hp recovery up thing for her too or maybe hp recover per turn!

"Finders Keepers I'm afraid. That'll teach you to stink up your classmates"

Said by the New Student who didn't help with her sad predicament

The Audio comes from here and maybe my new fave ASMR for the night

Honestly? I need more Natty, Poppy, Zenobia and Sacharissa on my blog... fan art or screenshots, I accept everything! I miss my girls :(

[simply-slytherin]

I kind of hope that the Wizarding World at Universal Studios considers having character actors. Can you imagine them having Sebastian, Ominis, Garreth, Natty, Poppy etc? That would be so fun! They already do student character events, it would be cool to see our favs in there too.

just realized i could have pirate nolan stormgate interact with my pirate101 ocs.

Zenobia would love him wholeheartedly in a way where he allows himself to be vulnerable and becomes an older brother figure.

Darcy would think he's a prick and hustle him at cards or billiards.

Susannah & Vitale would be like. wow what an asshole! anyway.

Darling Alexander Dove would kill him though.

Immediately realized I reblogged that felice post to the wrong blog but, honestly? everyone needs to hear the good word and also read 'The Pope's Daughter' by Caroline Murphy, one of the most biographer of all time

charlotte breathlessly giggled as she came down from her first high, dizzy from the pleasure and insatiable desire she felt. "you're so fucking good to me, baby. i'm going to cum over and over again," she admitted as her porcelain skin flushed. as the woman rocked against her core, charlotte moaned deeply, responding with a rock of her own hips. the fabric covering the woman's body made her desperate to feel zenobia's slick heat against her own. "'l'll be good for you, baby. i promise," she assured, with a needy pout on her full lips and faux-innocence brimming in her chocolate hues. "can i feel your pussy on mine? please. i missed it," she suggested in a seductive tone that practically dripped with honey. charlotte was in complete submission, knowing everything would have to be approved by her girlfriend first, and she loved knowing zenobia had that power.

So, elaborate for me.. Why Leander? Make me see it? Because I can't.

oh . ohohohoho. OHOHOHO. i have actually been gnawing at the bit for someone to ask this eventually because i could go on and on and on and on and on etc about why i latched on to him specifically!! i'm gonna put a wholeass essay under the cut for whoever cares!

so. why do i love leander so much? there are a few reasons. first of all:

he's a massive loser. i have always loved characters that are pathetic little guys, and the minute i saw him i could just tell he was a stupid dumb idiot who was going to need a defender.

i also, quite frankly, see a lot of myself in him. i was bullied in school, and i often acted a lot like he does. i tried to make myself look better than i was (especially in front of new kids at school), i overcompensated for everything, and generally being kind of annoying? so this all makes me think that he almost certainly gets bullied. i mean, we have the summoner's court kids basically saying he's the biggest loser around, zenobia calling him untalented, and in his first proper interaction with MC he almost gets himself crushed to death by a dragon skull. poor baby.

i always viewed his interactions with MC as him finally seeing the opportunity to make a new friend, but not quite knowing how. he already seems socially awkward to me (and bonus points, i HC he's autistic as well), and MC is THE cool new kid. by the time you properly meet him, MC has survived a dragon attack, single handedly taken down a troll, and depending if you've already started doing side quests, has been running about the highlands solving everyone's problems easily. i imagine he feels quite insecure, and so he tries to make himself look better (i.e. i definitely would have beaten sebastian in that duel, i fight with honour). also, he clearly doesn't think before he speaks, and so i think he just unintentionally comes off as a bit rude? like his comment about slytherins, if your MC is slytherin, then he immediately apologises because he didn't stop for 5 seconds to consider what he was about to say.

this bit from the art book basically confirms all my HCs about him being an insecure dork, which makes him very endearing to me!

i think a lot of these behaviours are just because he's, at the end of the day, a stupid teenage boy who doesn't know where he belongs. also in my HC he's got older siblings that are very accomplished, which on top of him clearly not being very good at magic and having basically no friends except garreth, probably doesn't help :(

obviously, he's not for everyone. but for me personally i just see him as a stupid baby who will eventually grow out of his insecurities and his more childish behaviour. either way i will always adore him and give him all the smoochies<3<3

Night owl or Morning person?

Are they a night owl or a morning person? Tags: Somehow put fluff and some cutesy stuff in here. Also not proofread sorry. This HC set contains the following characters: Sebastian, Ominis, Garreth, Leander, Amit, Andrew, Everett, Natty, Poppy, and Imelda. Rating: General Audiences. ..

Summary: My headcanons for if the Hogwarts Legacy students are Night owls or morning people!

Sebastian:

He is 100% a night owl. 

He spends hours reading late into the night. 

He also just really loves nighttime so he’d rather be awake during the night. 

This boy hates early mornings. 

If he’s not up by breakfast, he’s rolling out of bed and getting to class right before it starts. 

Obviously, not every morning because he has Ominis to wake him up and get him going but most mornings he’s still out of it and would rather go back to sleep but of course his education is still very important. ..

Ominis: 

Morning person 

He’s probably up late into the night but he’s actually a pretty big fan of getting up early in the morning. 

Waking up early gives him some time to get ready and spruce himself up before classes and gives him some time alone before having to deal with Sebastian’s antics. 

And since bright lights aren’t an issue for him, he can usually fall asleep anywhere at any time and make up for the sleep he may have lost by waking up early. 

He also finds early mornings to be the most peaceful part of his day. Although he can’t physically see the sunrise, he likes to sit outside and feel the warm sunshine on his face. ..

Garreth: 

He’s not a night owl but he’s definitely not a morning person either. 

He’s going to bed early and waking up late, sorry I don’t make the rules. 

He just really likes his sleep. 

But of course, he never misses breakfast, even if that means he’s rolling out of bed with messy hair and robes to get there in time. 

Just a sleepy boy, okay. But he doesn’t let his Aunt know how much he sleeps in right before important things. ..

Leander: 

A mix of both, perhaps? More on the morning side, though. 

Sometimes he’s up late simply because he got distracted and then got focused on whatever caught his eye. 

And then other nights he’s out like a light. 

Although, usually he’s up early enough in the mornings to make sure he’s up and ready for the morning. 

Don’t judge him for how long it takes to do his hair in the mornings. 

But his favorite mornings are when he wakes up and automatically feels like he can just take on the day with full confidence. :) 

Amit: 

NIGHT OWL 100% 

And not even because he’s rebellious or is stubborn the boy just wants to see his stars. 

He will spend hours upon hours looking at and charting the stars. They really are his best friend when he thinks about it. 

But even then he’s a very dedicated student so he’s still up early in the morning to get ready for school and be perfectly on time for breakfast and for his morning classes. ..

Andrew: 

He just strikes me as a morning person. 

But not the kind to wake up really early, he just enjoys his mornings. 

He takes them very slowly and has a pretty set routine that he likes to do in his mornings to help him feel like his days are going smoothly. 

Morning walks after the sun is up are some of his favorites. He also likes to read outside when the weather is just right. ..

Everett: 

Night owl and the opposite of Amit because he’s a night owl strictly for rebellious purposes. 

Well, most of the time anyway. 

We know he’s a prankster so he’ll stay up late waiting for everyone to be asleep just so he can snatch Zenobia’s gobstones again or stay up late to secretly plan another prank with Astoria Crickett. 

He gets caught a lot because he’s clumsy but you bet he’s gonna stay up late to try again. 

And he just hates the mornings. The worst part of the day for him. ..

Natty:  

Morning person. 

She’ll stay up late if she needs to but she just prefers mornings. 

She loves the sunrise and the feeling of the warm sun so basically mornings are her best friend most days. 

She loves early morning walks and loves it even more if her close friends and companions can join her on them. 

And when her friends are up before her just to get ready for the walk? Oh, you best believe you guys are gonna be best friends forever at that point. ..

Poppy: 

Dare I say she’s a night owl?

For whatever reason she’s up late, probably playing with whatever nocturnal beasts she’s befriended, she loves to do it. 

She doesn’t mind getting up early if she has a good reason to, such as feeding the beasts early, but usually, she likes to sleep in quite a bit. 

There’s just something so peaceful about the night that she loves and she’d much rather be up late to experience it than be up early. ..

Imelda: 

Morning person. 

Not only is she a morning person but she’s a super morning person. 

This girl wakes up at the crack of dawn just to get to the Quidditch pitch and train before anyone else can get there. 

She has a strict routine for practicing every morning and she holds herself to it. 

She thrives off of the energy she gets from waking up so early and going out there to practice and so mornings are just her thing. ..

I am so fed up and disgusted with the current chronicle fandom. What used to be a place of exchange of opinions, love of the material written by the author and her characters, respect and refuge even for all those who felt " different" or so they were called by other people, because we had different passions, and interests, maybe even too big for the kids we were, is now a pool of shit. There is no more understanding and respect for the story or the characters, there is instead negativity, toxicity, and contempt and total, personal superimposition on the characters, their feelings, their stories, lies disguised by the famous word ' interpretation', ship warfare, attacks towards other fans, bullying, victimhood, lack of accepting and understanding a historical context, certain topics, such as sexual fantasies, or the view on religion and the relationship with God.

Anne's books are not for everyone, the themes they deal with are not for everyone, and I am not talking about the romance between a millennial vampire who has no sexual appetites and a 15-year-old mortal boy in the late 1400s, but about the worldview, the changing nature of humankind, poetry and literature, history, the desperate need to understand the human soul, about monsters that sometimes seem more human than human beings. Of religion, of the relationship with God, of the mistakes that curiosity, pain, or too good a heart can lead one to make.Of the pain and acceptance of life and the path it takes us down, of the wonder there is in the world and in art. The deep search for meaning.

I have seen and read so much crap in the current fandom that my eyes have fallen out. I've seen my all-time favorite character dragged through the mud, linked to things he never did or said, I've seen him misled and defaced into something he is not and never was. I have seen people convince themselves and lead others toward their own insanity made up of completely made-up things and lies. And continue this circle of hatred and negativity of contempt and stupidity. Twitter, tiktok, YouTube, Tumblr, are full of absurd and flimsy 'interpretations' of something that is not, even, there in the Canon of books. No wonder that every time I ask, bring me the pages of the books, where this thing is written, the person on duty disappears, or when you mention Zenobia, or Gregory or Eudoxia, these people disappear. And yes I took the liberty of an outburst, because it is somewhat depressing to see how things are. At least I, as a deep and indefatigable lover of Marius, can say that my satisfaction I have it and no one can take it away from me, because it is in the Canon of the last book, Marius is happy, serene, he is healing, he is playing an important role, he is living in the palace among his peers and he is no longer alone, and most importantly he is finally reunited with Armand, they are together again and they are caring for each other by giving their hearts to each other again, like in Venice. Goodbye antis & haters 👋

Were the recent interludes any good?

Zenobia definitely needed her interlude since her debut event didn't flesh her out nearly enough, and the story understood decently well what her character was lacking. I feel like I didn't understand the idea of Zenobia before and I do know (or perhaps I understood before but just found it lazy and fetishistic before the idea was properly demonstrated). It's not a perfect interlude. The beginning and the end are a solo study on Zenobia's coping mechanisms while the middle is arguably irrelevant interactions with other Servants that fill like filler in a frustratingly Minase-like ways. At the very least, the self-defeating sexual humor that makes it hard to take Zenobia's concept at face value is kept to a minimum.

The Trung Sisters interlude is annoying for 90% of its runtime. It feels like a bad Spy X Family chapter featuring the yuri version of Yuri Briar. It was obvious from the story that it would end with Nhi realizing it's a misunderstanding and Trac is not actually in love with Douman, but it'd have been so funny if she actually was. That said Taisui is still FGO's cutest thing, and making the plot about him was enough to turn my least favorite into my favorite interlude of the batch.

Sugitani's interlude is weird in how it's not about Sugitani at all. Higashide just want to write a quick little thing about how the US's gun culture is craaaazy and used Sugitani for it. I don't think he'd have needed to change the plot if this was a Billy interlude instead. That said, the contents of the interlude are a hilarious caricature. Nothing more American than a public event where everyone takes their guns to the streets and shoots empty cars or something. I must say that "They lived their whole lives with the shared illusion that guns mean safety." is a line that goes hard.

Durga's interlude is really cute, but kinda overall the weakest of the bunch. I don't have much to say to this one.

[jinxekkotimebomb]

Zenobia is a cool blade personally. She's one of the strongest blades we know outside of the Aegis. Due to this, she views Mythra as her ultimate rival, as she is the only one, alongside Malos she feels can rival her. She mentions she would've sided with Malos during the Aegis war for this reason, too.

I also love her design, which feels akin to the Japanese god Fūjin in appearance. Her personality in desiring strength she can test herself against represents this also. She's a force of nature who desires to better herself constantly.
