#I'M SORRY RAMESSES

[nepthys-merenset]

Uh oh...so apparently if Eva and Ramesses aren't close, he gets sliced across the stomach by the hunters while he's fleeing and he's probably got the dark curse disease. Things aren't looking good for him.

[inkonssstantgeissst]

little weirdo

this is the first tiktok i've ever made and i don't even frequent tiktok and watch videos much so yeah it sucks, but my kingsnake Ankh is still so funny

she literally thrashes around with the mouse, and then today she lost it and bit herself before finally finding it again lol

hey so i was wondering (love your blog btw), i have a mexican black kingsnake who's a couple years old now, he's very chill and very focused, and when it comes time for feeding he's incredibly eager, and when he bites onto it he grabs it and then wraps himself all around it and constricts it, which i'm pretty sure is the normal eating behavior for a kingsnake since they're constrictors.

but then there's my younger california kingsnake who's still under a year, and she has a much more anxious personality, and when it comes time for feeding she's much more cautious, will strike and then back off, strike and back off, strike and back off, then when she finally grabs on, instead of wrapping around the mouse and constricting it, she starts to writhe around and shake the mouse like a rat terrier with a rat, sometimes so vehemently that she ends up tossing the (frozen and thawed mouse) across the terrarium.

anyways i've never heard about snakes killing their pray by shaking it around like that lol. is that a normal way that these snakes will sometimes kill they're prey, or is my california king just that odd?

That is so incredibly weird, wow! Sounds like your girl is just a little weird, I've never met a kingsnake who shakes their food like that before. What might be going on is her head is a bit shaky because she's getting herself so excited with the striking and backing off, and she's just trying to re-position the mouse in her jaws. That's nothing to worry about as long as she's not shaky otherwise. Cali kings can be a little too enthusiastic; my guy Viago has launched mice across the enclosure with the gusto of his strikes before.

But yeah, kingsnake eating habits can be very variable. Some will constrict, some will just grab, some need their time to check out food, etc. Completely down to the individual.

[jcollinswrites]

JC!!!!!!!

I loved the update ommmg. I love how different the route is. Your variations are beautiful. From MCs sister to choosing if we were married before. I adored it.

I died of embarrassment at spilling the wine because bruhhhhh. I also just loved the description of MC telling them everything wrong with the security in the palace. It made me alil smug for my MC 😍

I hate the stupid creepy priest! Death to his dumbass 💀😭

I have a question tho. So seeing as we can choose our sexuality. How are same sex couples viewed in the kingdom? Should i expect some bullshit from people? And also how would that apply to the King especially. It's a two part question.

1. Could they marry someone of the same gender? Especially when it comes to shit like carrying on bloodlines being so important to nobles 😒 or would he have to take on a concubine 🙄 imagine your husband going to go sleep with some random chick while you wait for him to come back. Kill me please 😭😭😭

But i know that's how some things just are.

2. How would they react to an MC on the thief background especially romancing the king. Bet the nobles would loooooovvveeeeee that!

Okay I'm so sorry for this longass message 🫣🫣🫣

Oh you read it! ^^ I was awaiting your comment with bated breath O.O (lol jk..... or am I? o.o)

I put some variations in the code that are unique to every origin :D For example the noble has the widower variable, the thief has the option to have higher dreams in life, the captain will be able to decide if they are a war veteran, and I haven't decided the priest yet (:

Now I'm gonna go on a huge ramble about the marriage/sexuality, so I'll put it under a wrap 😅 You don't have to read it unless you are interested lol cuz it's gonna be looong... (consider yourself warned)

Okay, so according to my knowledge, in Ancient Egypt, married life and sexuality in general was a bit of a taboo in public. You could do whatever you wanted, at home, in private. We have a lot of documents from that time that describe that couples were actually very affectionate towards each other and had a healthy sex life, but they didn't really make it a big deal in public. (unless you were gossiping with your bff maybe)

Marriage wasn't a very official thing either, like it is now. They didn't really have weddings. When the bride moved in with the groom, they signed a contract, and bang, they were considered married. Anyone could get a divorce too. The most popular reason was infertility or cheating, but women could initiate divorce as well based on whatever reason.

Now, a lot of historians in the past (and even today) would look at an ancient document describing f.ex. "two women living together with a child and a cat", and they would go 'aww they must have been such good friends'. Like...... you know....? Friends. Riiiight...

On that note, no, people in the story won't give you crap about it because it always happened, in every age, we just nowadays tend to make it into this huge deal, as if everything other than heterosexuality has just been invented yesterday. A lot of ancient societies were so much more accepting than we are today. (just think of the Greek or Romans)

The carrying on the bloodline thing is an interesting question. There is a funny debate between historians about Ramesses II's children. Because according to original sources, he had around a hundred. They all had the title 'prince' or 'princess', and others like 'Beloved Son of the King', 'Beloved Daughter' and stuff like that. Most historians think that proves that they were all biological children. Others say he might have just adopted a lot of kids and gave them the title. We can't know for certain which one is true. It could be a mix.

In my not-expert opinion, if Egyptians accepted divorce and stuff, they probably accepted full-on adoption as well. Even as an 'official' way to continue a bloodline. Nobles could have one official wife, plus keep concubines if they wished (IF they wished, they didn't necessarily do it), then the couple had the option to 'adopt' any kid from a concubine and raise them as their own. We also know for certain that an heir didn't have to be even related to the king to inherit the throne. This didn't happen often, but it happened. (Ramesses I was just a friend of the previous king f.ex.)

This problem won't come up with Narmer though because he already has an adult child. And the noble MC is a thirdborn, their older siblings all have children, so the bloodline is already secured. Captain MC has two mothers, living together, like "very good friends" *wink wink*. Priest MC is an orphan.

For your second question, most of the story is going to take place on the road, sort of like a quest thing, and by the time MC & Co. come back to Thebes, MC won't be a 'nobody' anymore. I planned lots of different endings based on your previous choices, but rest assured, even if you play a thief origin, you can have a happy ending with Narmer. If you play a woman, he could even make you Queen Consort. For a guy or non-binary MC, he'll give you some bullshit title named 'Beloved Companion' or something and be done with it.

Sorry for the awfully long answer lol this is a subject I'm passionate about 😅 Thanks for reading and please continue to send messages! ^^

[romanceclub-confessionss]

Confession:

"I don't like nor trust Livius, they better not force us to go to Macedonia with him or I'll be pissed fr. Agnia is weird, I can't even tell if she likes MC or hates her guts, like pick one already. Ramesses is a fake snakey skank. Don't even get me started on mister "I own yo ass" Set. If we get the option to kill them all I'm taking it, sorry not sorry."

SUNSPELL FIC !!!!

Hurt/Comfort :33!!! Enjoy!!!!

"What the hell were you thinking??"

Sunday's voice spoke, a tone just above a whisper, heavy with concern. Hearing them with such a tone pulled at Marvin's chest in a way that hurt more than the actual injury he sustained. The injury itself had bled out into the gauge Sunday was applying to it, a habit they always did before performing a healing spell.

'The spell never gets rid of the blood, it's always better to clean it first before you stain anything' Marvin thought- it was something an old tutor had told them some years ago now, Marvin couldn't even remember her name- but what she had taught them both stuck with them, Sunday especially it seemed.

Marvin didn't have an answer for Sunday. He just thought he could handle the thing that had appeared out of seemingly nowhere- at the time it seemed manageable. But the thing was smarter than it looked and ended up incapacitating Marvin far quicker than he expected.

'For all your skills Marvin, you just can't help but get blindsided by your own ambition.' Ramesses had once told him- he knew he was right. He always was. Marvin was just too proud to admit it.

"I'm sorry-"

It was the only thing Marvin could think of saying. It made Sunday pause, looking into Marvin's lime green eyes to see any hint of a mistruth. But there was none, just a look of genuine hurt and apology.

"I wasn't thinking- I thought I could handle it by myself-"

"clearly"

Sunday responded, they were trying to sound cold. But years of friendship made Marvin acutely aware of the hurt behind their words.

"Sunny I'm sorry I just- I didn't know what I was gonna face when I got there. I didn't want you getting hurt-"

Sunday cut him off-

"Marv I know- I know you want to protect me and I know you want to see me be safe, but I can handle myself, I know you're capable and strong on your own but you can't keep running into situations without knowing if you're going to get hurt or not-"

There was a pause as Sunday began the healing spell. The wound on Marvin's leg started to heal itself, it would've been an ugly sight to watch but the slivers of gold that was Sunday's magic made it somewhat bearable to watch.

Marvin hissed slightly as the healing spell took place. They always coincidentally felt the same when you got an alcohol wipe to clean a wound- not exactly painful but definitely not pleasant, a small minty burning feeling as the magic started healing the wound.

"Listen, I know you have things you need to do. And it's okay if you can't tell me what those are for whatever reason I just-"

Sunday paused, choosing their words delicately.

"Just let me know if you do. I can help you Marvin. I just- I love you too much to see you put yourself in danger like this. It makes me worry."

Marvin was about to respond before the words Sunday had spoken had fully set in- it seemed that Sunday had the same realisation of what they had just said wash over them.

"You- you said you-"

"I- Yeah, I did"

The two of them could only stare at each other. It was almost like they were both trying to work out a problem in each others minds.

"Is that okay?"

Sunday finally asked. Marvin felt his throat tie up into knots and he couldn't find the right thing to say. He just nodded and smiled shyly at the other. His hand brushed over Sundays hesitantly, Sunday interlocked their fingers and brushed their thumb over Marvin's knuckles.

It was so strange- over the years the pair had been attached at the hip, always holding hands or being in each other's physical spaces almost all the time without question. But now it feels foreign, in a good way but still foreign. There was no hiding behind what their true feelings where.

"Sunny-"

"Marv-"

They had both said at the same time, chuckling slightly as they did so.

"you go first"

Sunday said, Marvin nodded

"I am sorry. For what it's worth- the reason I didn't want you there wasn't because I don't want you to be there I just- I also- you know" Marvin took a breath, "I love you too. And I wasn't telling you because I also couldn't stand the thought of seeing you potentially getting hurt- I. I'm sorry, I was wrong"

Sunday's eyes grew just a little bit brighter at that, their fingers from their free hand gently brushing a stray hair strand out of Marvin's face. Their hand cupping on Marvin, the two of them continued to just stare. Sunday leaned in, kissing softly Marvin on their forehead. Then lightly keeping their foreheads pressed together. The man blushed at that, far more than he'd like to admit.

"I know just- just don't let it happen again. Promise?"

Sunday asked, still pressed against Marvin- their hand still cupping their cheek.

Marvin leaned in, kissing them lightly and hesitantly. The kiss could've only been a few seconds but if you had asked either of them in that moment they would've told you that they had kissed for eternity.

Marvin regrettably pulled back to look at Sunday in their eyes-

"I promise"

Almost simultaneously, the healing spell had finished. Marvin looked down, feeling the magic leave. The wound had been healed completely, leaving behind a sizable pale scar on his skin.

Marvin used it as an excuse to finally curl up next to Sunday. They left out a soft chuckle, Marvin just knew the slew of cat related jokes that were rocketing through the other's brain at that moment. But he found that he didn't mind, just enjoying the others company like he had so many times before. He buried his head into Sunday's shoulder curling up into them.

"Thank you Sunny, for everything"

[ratanslily]

hiii do you take requests ? If you still had time maybe you could edit Ramesses in some short hairstyles? I love his long hairs but I'm very curious! Thanks in advance sorry' for the trouble

you see that lq? that's PicsArt f*cking up my edits😭

and it's my pleasure to edit him <3333

[liamrrys]

your modern sotcn headcanons are giving me LIFE i need to hear all of them forever actually eva and rame being lawyers just makes SENSE it's like you got a vision from the characters themselves

anyway: modern sotcn where they're at a gala for their firm and they meet the characters from Laws of Attraction (and Thomas Mendez cuz why not) 😭😭 who are from a rival firm and chaos ensues maybe Livius was invited as a friend of a friend, and Amen was there to investigate Eva and Rame's firm

yay!! i'm so glad you like them!! i've been putting them out into the void for my own guilty pleasure, so it's so fun 2 see others enjoying them too!!!

YES!! i love a gala sideplot unfortunately i don't remember much of laws of attraction im so sorry </3

funnily enough i like to think that livius was invited as rame's unofficial +1 😭

eva's +1 to these events will always be isman. that's her brother, that's her boy, roomies 4 life. however, isman doesn't really want to be in a room filled with stuffy lawyers (which is fair enough) and asks if he can bring a friend from work.

eva asks who he's bringing, and if it's anyone special. she makes fun of him for working so hard, that the only friend he's made so far is his boss.

livius also finds it amusing, but because he's a bit of a material girl and enjoys a bit of glamour in his life — he'll never turn down a gala. he might even use this time to make connections on behalf of the hospital.

eva grits through her teeth when she shuffles to rame's work cubicle, coffee in hand, looking unbearably and uncharacteristically sheepish.

she places the coffee down gently on his table.

he looks up at her, slightly confused, and back down at his work. "who the hell are you and what did you do with evthys."

"ramesses... we're friends right?"

"not really." (he's smiling)

she asks if he could pretty please give his +1 invitation to her so that isman doesn't have to go by himself. rame pretends to think about it. he wasn't going to use it anyway. he just wanted to see eva squirm a little bit.

(dia and isman meet here for the first time. eva and rame are too busy checking each other out bickering outside of work hours to notice.)

as for amen:

being in a room full of people who wanted him dead was not the way he wanted to spend his saturday evening, but when duty calls, it calls.

when the mayor wants a representative from the police department, it's not easy to decline, so much to his protest, he attends with his second-in-command, titian.

titian's chatty abrasive (though surprisingly charming) attitude saves him from having to do any real socialisation himself. the con is that he gets along with them too well, and kind of leaves him stranded for the rest of the night.

literally nothing this dude hates more than lawyers and pleasantries — and yet here he was.

it's a little funny to see someone so imposing as amen look so out of his element. livius sees amen from a distance. recognises his white hair and alabaster skin. an old patient of his.

(livius helped perform extraocular muscle surgery on him to alleviate some of the pain he experiences due to his ocular albinism during his first year of medical residency.)

he taps him on the shoulder and hands him a drink. "i take it you recovered well."

"doctor pella." amen's rbf softens at the sight of him. there's even a hint of a smile if you look hard enough. "it's good to see you again." he takes the drink offered. "i trust you survived your residency?"

"by the skin of my teeth, detective." he clinks his glass to amen's. "tell me what you've been up to lately."

I have questions regarding Egyptian bartering system; is this a thing that lasts till New Kingdom or is information in Pierre Montet's " Everyday Life in Egypt in the Days of Ramesses The Great" outdate bc he describes their monetary system;

10 deben of copper- qite of silver (in the time of Ramesses II).

6 deben of copper = 1 qite of silver (in the late Ramesside period).

~ or did they weigh real copper and silver for thing they wanted to buy or were these copper coins and silver coins

Hi, sorry to disappoint but I'm not currently taking any asks on ancient Egypt because of health reasons. As luck would have it I have covered part of this in a previous ask, though. You can find it here. Also check out this one, which includes an additional link to a post @thatlittleegyptologist made on weights and measurements.

Hi, can I ask your top 5 favorite romantic ships (can be canon or non canon) from any media? Thx ⭐

Thank you for your question, Anon♥️💄

Starting at 5th I would say Toji × Mama Megumi(jujutsu kaisen)

Just a note, this ship is barely existent in the animanga. I'm living purely off fanarts of them. There is this one amazing artist who draws Fushiguro family shenanigans that I absolutely adore. (They're @ddub2126 in instagram).

At 4th I would say Akemi x Akai (Detective Conan/Case Closed)

3rd: NaruHina (Naruto/shippuden/the last, Boruto)

2nd: Kagaya × Amane (demon slayer)

They break my heart and tear it up with gentleness and care, I'm very normal about them, promise </3

Personally my best ship for arranged marriage-falling in love troupe.

1st: Ramesses x Ivy (Pharaoh's Concubine)

Now this is from an unpopular manhwa. I read it back 4 years ago, and still no ship in any media after it managed to grab my heart by its strings and let it sing and cry and go through an absolute roller coaster of emotions through every chapter. Yes I am recommending it

Thank you so much for this ask Anon, and sorry it took so long. I really enjoy talking about my ship.♥️💄

Baby Girl ~ Isman x Female! Oc ( Song Of Crimson Nile/ Romance Club ) Sequel to my woman ( Part 3 )

Part 2 ------>

title - Baby Girl ( Isman x Female original character )

Fandom: Song Of Crimson Nile

Summary: After learning they will leave for thebes, harmony must prepare for the worst... But first, there is something she must tell Isman.

Warning: Mention of sexual content. Mention of pregnancy, etc.

Pairings: Isman x Fem!Oc, Ramesses x Eva, Dia x ???.

As a few days went by, Eva told their mentor Remmao about Dia leaving late at night. Harmony went rigid, if Eva knew Her and Isman were sneaking out late at night as well, it would end badly for everyone.

To be honest, Harmony did not like Dia at all.

The girl was a liability.

And she didn't trust her at all.

Eva was more of a friend to her.

She could remember the look Dia gave Eva. It took everything in her to not laugh.

After their lesson, Harmony, Dia and Eva went to take a bath. Right now she had a towel wrapped around her lower body with her long hair covering her hair.

She begin to apply milk and lavender to her body, Eva and Dia we're using different method for their bodies.

Lavender helps soothe the body and nerves.

She washed her face and listened as Dia and Eva talked. Something about Dia's past, someone she loved.

Ex.

Harmony didn't give them any mind, she rinsed all the liquid off her body, grabbed a towel, and wrapped it around her top.

She got out of the bathtub.

A few minutes later Dia and Eva followed behind her.

It was like she was the ring leader.

A smile spread across her face.

Maybe she was.

[~]

As the afternoon came, Harmony was on edge this was her first Necromancy / Oneiromancy trip. To say she was nervous, all the nerve in her body was rocking through her skin.

She took a deep breath and placed her hair in two long ponytail braids and put on her black cloak.

She placed her mask on, and it transformed. Now she was unrecognizable. No one would know it was her.

She met up with Eva.

The young woman was nervous, but they agreed with each other and met up with a woman named, Theonoe.

She held a jug of beer in her hand. Harmony snatched it from her and placed it in her bag.

No, just no.

The woman was nervous around them both.

Because their earlier conversation didn't end well.

< Earlier that day >

Eva and Harmony were looking out at the water, lost in thoughts just thinking about what would happen in the next few days.

That's when they heard footsteps.

Quickly they sat on their silk and faked a smile.

“ Oh, sorry. I was looking for lizard, I'm hunting them”.

The woman looked at them both with curious and different facial expressions. Harmony did not buy it.

She narrowed her eyes. “ Go on, we are not in your way”. The woman steps forward.

“ I'm sorry. You two are Shesmu aren't you?.”

Eva's nervousness went out of the soul of her body, while Harmony was ready to throw hands.

“ What a silly question. -” Eva started.

“ No” Harmony finished glaring at the woman.

“ Please! I'll pay you both more coins. Just make it stop”.

Both Harmony and Eva looked at each other. “ No, go bother someone else. Go use another Shesmu”.

They begin to walk away.

But the woman stopped them. She grabbed Eva by the arm and didn't let go. Harmony was furious, how dare the bitch grab her friend like that?.

She reached forward and snatched the woman's hair. “ Let.Her.Go....Now!” she snarled.

The woman let go.

“ Please, I just want you two help.”

They stopped to listen to her story, she was young and thought she was in love. But it was clearly passion and lust, not love.

They both agreed, but she would pay them extra.

After the woman left, both Eva and Harmony looked at each other.

Ohh, this was going to be hard.

Their work outfit was damaged from throwing it in the water.

They had work to do.

[ Time Skip ]

After successfully removing the energy from Theonoe, Both Eva and Harmony were about to walk back to their home.

But Harmony thought of something and told Eva she'll meet her later. She had something to do first. Hopefully it goes well and Eva doesn't get caught by the Epistates and his crew.

After making sure Eva got home safety, she ran into Amen and she had to lie her way of it, but this time Amen didn't believe her.

He told her he would take her with him, rather she liked it or not.

Harmony was sad, now her friend would leave her. Who would she talk to now?.

She wiped away a tear, she didn't know she was crying. Taking a deep breath, she decided to meet up with her boyfriend at their usual spot.

No one would come and no one knew this place exist.

After a few minutes, Isman came out of the tall plants. He smiled when he saw her and opened his arms for her.

“ Come here” he cooed.

Harmony didn't hesitate, she walked over to him and embraced him.

The two hug for a while, both showering each other with kisses, love and affection.

After a while Isman sat her down on a log and the two engage in a series conversation.

“ So I'm going to Thebes with the hunters ” he started.

Harmony was shocked, but before she could proceed it all in, her mouth moved before she could take it all in.

“ Oh, not you too”.

Isman looked at her with a confused facial expression. “ Hmm?”.

“ There's something I need to tell you, Isman” her words came out slowly.

Around them, there was the sound of the wind howling and bushes moving in the distance.

“ What is it love?” Isman asked, moving hair from her face.

Harmony bit her lip and took a deep breath, it was now or never. “ There are multiple things I need to tell you, but please believe me. You have to”.

Her boyfriend cooed and pulled her close, he tucked her head under his neck and kissed her forehead softly. “ I'm here tell me”.

She braced herself, it was time.

“ Well it started”....

[~]

The next morning Harmony was not dealing up to dealing with Remmao. It was the same thing every day, he taught them, one of them did something and at the end of the day they got scowled and repeated.

This particular morning would be different they would be leaving for Thebes.

And to say she was nervous.

What if something goes wrong?.

She was with child, she couldn't let anything happen to her family.

She placed her hand on her stomach and took a deep breath, she could do this.

This was what she was here for, this was her job.

She was the key to the future.

Standing to her feet, she placed her hand on her stomach and whispered a spell.

And it was done.

Harmony walked out of the room and down the corridors.

She walks until she nearly bumps into Ramesses. “ Hi,” he said cheerfully.

She blinked, what had gotten him in a good mood?.

“ Hi to yourself.”

He linked his arms with her and took her out of the room.

* * *

Just as they were about to leave, Milo came running at her, Harmony petted his ears as the dog licked her hand.

“ Who's a good boy?” she asked, the dog tail wagged more.

“ Woof” the dog barked.

She then moved back and the dog ran off, looking ahead she made eye contact with Isman.

He smiled, winked, and helped his dog inside.

Looking away, last night conversation was stuck in her mind.

Would she make it out alive?

With a sigh.

Harmony placed her items on the trolley and got inside the chariot.

No one was near her, so she was good.

But not before long.

Evthys came in with Dia.

Both females smiled at her and she returned a smile.

Oh, Anubis.

This was going to be a long ride.

[~]

To Be Continued.

[ramessesxwadjet]

Ramesses looked at Julian now, though he didn't really have an answer for everything. Still too new to consider himself a proper druid – at least in his own eyes – he had to think about it for a moment. "We fight because we all have a reason to," he figured that was simple enough, whether or not the other wanted an answer. But it was true, wasn't it? A druid was not supposed to pick sides, but he couldn't help but want to soothe peace – and there was no side to be picked when it came to the darkspawn.

"I gave him a nice dream before he passed," Ramesses said finally, looking at Julian now with a bit of concern. "I'm sorry – he wasn't going to make it. And the dreams of the blighted are...difficult to soothe. I just wanted to make him rest easy before..."

"So why do we fight?" Maybe Juneau had been correct in assessing his inability to handle a genuine war, she'd nearly mocked that within the ring all was fabricated, but the violence he could extend when transformed into a wolf was lethal and sitting here, wasting time, when he could be culling the very darkspawn this one talked of, only drove that feeling deeper. A liability, one who could end up like the many others who resided in this tent if he wasn't careful.

Many wolves, those he'd just come to meet through Haven, had already met their demise. Death was this fragile and harrowing thing, something he'd enacted countless times before but had trouble accepting when it came to the innocent lives littered on the battle grounds. Breezing past his own initial question, one he didn't vie for a true answer to, Julian responded, "I was hoping to visit a friend, but either you've cured him or it's not good news." Julian hadn't actually known them on a friendly level, but he'd dragged them here earlier, gravely wounded and bleeding.

@ardenssolis​​ said: Ozymandias did not forget White Day. As impatient as he was having to wait and wait to give her something in return for her gift, he had done so if only to honor the traditions of her culture. Approaching Misaya, he held out a neatly wrapped box. "For you. I had these specially made, so I can say that the quality is top-tier." It was only what she deserved, after all. He would give Misaya nothing less. Each chocolate inside was meticulously made to his liking, but he was sure she would enjoy it.

─「美沙夜」─  the CHERUBIM was leisurely enjoying the peaceful day that was rather rare to come by. the weather was actually nice, and the thought of going out for a walk with her familiars did cross her mind. however, she decided to wait for a certain PHARAOH who seemed to disappear since morning. was he running errands or going out into the city without her knowing it ? her question, however, was promptly answered when the said KING OF KINGS showed himself once more. presented to her was a box wrapped up neatly, decorated with a hint of gold that spoke of his taste.

                “ --- for me ? ” the SECOND MASTER took a moment to register that it was a gift for her, only to come to a realization a few seconds later that it was WHITE DAY. him explaining that though they weren’t made by him ( thank god for that, no offense to the great ramesses ii, of course ), he had ensured the QUALITY of the sweets to be of the best.

                aah ... --- now she remembered it. he had actually expressed slight FRUSTRATION as to why he had to wait in order to give her back the present after she gave him the homemade chocolate. a light smile curved the corner of her lips, amused, she seemed to be, but also pleased enough to be playful.

                “ you actually wait a whole month this time. impressive. ” the quirk of her lips and GLINT in those sanguine colored hues of hers spoke enough of how she was teasing him. she knew he was trying his best to follow the TRADITION as much as possible, but was it wrong for her to feel it was rather adorable of him to get frustrated due to his impatience ?

                “ thank you, ramesses. i’ll be sure to savor every piece. though, do you know the reason why the white day gift has to be given back on march 14th ? ” she rose from her seat, slender digits reached out to accept the GIFT prepared by him as she admired the box itself, eyes narrowing on him with a hint of a grin resembling that of a WOLF. “ as you already know --- valentine’s day is the day where girls give chocolates to those they care about. however, it’s not only that. here in japan, we have two kinds of chocolate. one to give to those you look up to and as tradition, while the other --- ”

                “ --- is an expression of love. a honmei choco. a heartfelt, homemade chocolate given to a male in hope to convey their love. the period of one month between valentine’s day and white day, is for the male to consider their own feelings before giving answers to the female. which is why --- those who have given out homemade chocolate would wait in anticipation for one whole month for the answer. ” she wondered if he remembered that her chocolate to him was also HOMEMADE. he had a rather good memories, she was sure he would.

                “ by giving the female something in return on white day, it signifies that you have accepted her feelings and would, in turn, start a relationship with her. ” another step taken towards the PHARAOH, her free hand reached out to loop around his neck, bringing him closer as she tilted her head up, her lips merely an inch from his as her smile deepened and voice dropped to barely above a whisper.

                “ does that mean you’ve accept my feelings for you, ramesses ? ” words were uttered slow, seductive, almost like a SPELL as her lips inched closer, so close that he would be able to feel the warmth of her breath against his skin, the thumping of her HEART ringing close to his own, digits ghosting at the nape of his neck, toying with the dark strands of his hair and with the distance between them gone ---

                she pressed a kiss to the corner of his lips.

                pulling away, the CHERUBIM allowed the distance to resume between them. her expression mellowed into an almost childish grin as she held the box within her hand up to his line of sight. the ATMOSPHERE returned to that of normalcy, if not a rather PLAYFUL one on her side with that refreshing smile, as though nothing happened.

                “ you’re eating them with me, yes ? i can’t possibly finish them all by myself, after all. they say fine chocolates go well with a good bottle of wine, so let me see if i could find something like that for us ~ ” and with that, the second master disappeared towards the underground basement where the WINE was kept, leaving the pharaoh to wonder if her earlier stunt was simply to get a reaction out of him, or was it tinged with something more ?

                a question only she knew the answer to.

JJK Characters x You on a date

notes : I tried including Gojo's love for Digimon since I also grew up watching Digimon and loving the anime with all of my heart, also because Gojo's seiyuu, both Japanese and English versions, voiced for characters in Digimon, so I wanna pay homage to the both of them. other than that, I also included my love for arts and history, something I tried to incorporate into my writing, just to make it like.. lilith's style, ya know?

extra notes : also I wrote megumi for Elli, just because haha.

warnings : slight cussing. not proofread lol. other than that, none. 100% fluff!

characters : gojo satoru, fushiguro megumi, kugisaki nobara, nanami kento, itadori yuji.

Gojo Satoru - Arcades, vintage shops, especially collectors, especially Digimon, comic book/manga stores.

[Your name]! [Your name!]! Look, look! It's the Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01 series! All 9 of them! Let's get in!"

"Ahh hold on. Towu! We're supposed to visit the cat cafe, you promised that you would go with me and take pictures with the cat hairband on! And I'm starving!"

You jokingly scowled at him, tapping your Doc Martens feet on the ground, arms folding.

"Fucking adorable. Let me see if I can tease her more, hah." A smirk soon appeared on this blue-eyed darling of yours.

"Let me get the manga and I promise, I'll go to this cat cafe with you, baby. Hm?"

"Oh alright."

"I love you, sweetheart. I know how much you wanted to go there but the manga. I- ahaaaa"

He started pouting as he kept pointing in the direction of the Digimon manga by the window. You quickly opened your camera, taking pictures of him sulking, emitting a soft giggle that actually made his heart squeezed with joy.

He presses his lips against your forehead, thumb circling your cheek, gently squishing them before opening the door, yanking you into the comic book store with him. You vowed to hide the comic books once he goes on a mission. After all, he made you wait a month before the two of you finally get to go to this cafe you always wanted to visit.

"Baby, I can read what you're thinking. Your face shows it too. Hehe. Watch me hide your panties."

Taking in a few gulps of air to deepen your breath, you opened your eyes, to meet the love of your life's own eyes, snickering at you, his large hands on the crown of your head before ruffling your already messy hair. There is no way you can stay mad at this man, as childish as he is, you know he loves you and deep down? He knows you love him too.

Itadori Yuji - Thrift stores, internet cafes to play online games with you, cinemas.

"Candy! [Your name] love! Don't! Make! Me! Ahhh cover up for me! I am gonna lose! I am gonna-"

He turns around to face you with soft eyes, his eyebrows slightly droopy before looking back at the computer, taking in the seconds in his head to register the fact that he lost in his mission with you in Inferno.

"Awww sorry babe. I mean.. you just started playing CSGO, so tell me, why- again- damn it- you wanna- AH. Damn it! Throw the fucking grenade! I mean why you wanna play this game, you need more practice- FUCK YOU."

Gentle chuckles were heard, emitted from his throat, his soft, peach toned lips landed on your cheek repeatedly as he rubbed soothing circles around your back.

"Breathe, bunny baby. You're so feisty whenever you start having online matches. Breathe. I love you, and I don't want you to get your blood pressure rising because of these dumbos, hm?"

Your lips curl into a faint and appreciative smile, nodding while your eyes are glued to the screen, ignoring the fading laughs and snickers from the people acknowledging your mini rage.

"I love you too. If I win, I'm getting us boba and chicken nuggets. So let me fight them, okie?"

"Yes ma'am!"

Megumi - Museums, art galleries, photo exhibitions, aesthetic cafes.

"Oh Gumi bear, look at that! That is the Raft of Medusa, it was done by Thèodore Géricault, he himself interviewed two survivors from the shipwreck."

He looks over your eyes that shine with excitement and pure happiness.

"Art"

Was what he thought every time he laid his sight onto you. God knows that he falls in love with you every single time he is blessed with your presence. Resting his arm around your waist, pulling you closer, inhaling the scent of mixed berries and wild roses, he swore he heard his heartbeat increasing every two seconds in a span of one minute.

"Oh really? What do you think this painting is all about?"

Glancing at him before returning to the painting, you puffed your cheeks, pressing your lips together with your index finger curled on your chin and your thumb under it.

"Lord, she is so cute whenever she does that. Can I kiss her? Should I? No wait, she's trying to tell me her own interpretation of this painting. To me. Oh wow. I'm gonna kiss her... later. I can't interrupt her." That is all he could think of. You. He is deeply, madly, beautifully in love with you.

"In my opinion, it tells me the ways of how men, or human beings, seek out in order to survive. When we are at the brink of desperation, insanity, happiness, greed, lust, desire, wrath, grief, don't we all do things unimaginable to help us go through the day? They even resolved to cannibalism. I think even I would commit to that if I was in an extremely dire situation."

You looked at him, a wide smile on your face, emitting a soft giggle that entered his right ear and stayed within the chambers of his mind. He closed the spaces between the both of you, sealing his lips onto yours, with the intention of making this very moment last a little longer heavy within his heart.

"Art."

Was what you thought of him.

Nanami Kento - Theatres, historical museums, fine dining restaurants.

You squealed, lightly clapping your hands as you ran to a block of marble, your foot tapping against the floor. He chuckles, hands in his pocket, taking fast strides towards you.

"Namnam! Look look! That's the Parthenon Sculptures! It was founded in hm... Athens, yes! If I am not mistaken, around 438 to 432 BC. These sculptures decorated the insides of the Parthenon, it is a temple located at the fortress of the Athenian Acropolis. It is said that this temple was built to appreciate and worship the Goddess Athena, she was the deity worship in Athens. Also, ah ah! Did you know that the word parthénos means "maiden", "girl" or ‘virgin"? And I-"

You look at him, your magnificent lover wearing a dark brown trench coat, with ecru brown trousers and a black turtleneck tucked in, his neck layered with white gold necklaces. Your hand unconsciously scratches your sideburns, giggling at the side of his stoic expression, eyes piercing yours beneath that yellow-green glasses he constantly has on his chiseled face.

"Oh... I am sorry... I didn't mean to bore you. I was just so excited because you know me! I love anything that is related to ancient greek history and mythology. I can't seem to get enough of it and it is absolut-

"I'm not bored, [your name]. I was just paying attention to every single word that pretty lips of yours uttered. It's magnificent that you knew all of this. It shows just how smart, curious, bright your mind and soul is. And darling?"

"Huh?"

"I am lucky to be blessed with someone like you. With Gojo constantly following me, there is no way I can read the books I bought for myself. However, having you around, breaking the ice with your random history tib bits, I feel like I am reading the pages, savouring each word, alphabet, sentence, thus expanding my quest and love for knowledge."

You looked down. Normally, you're not the type to tear up this easily but seeing how this man, this angel of a man, appreciates the little things you loved and adored, you can't help but let the waterworks out. You lifted your head up to meet his gaze, the tip of your nose slightly stuffy. You grabbed his arms, clinging onto him, the difference of height and size makes it sweet to the eyes of strangers surrounding you both.

"Oh Namnam. Thank you so much. This means the world to me. Shall we... go and see the best of Ramesses the Great? I've loads to tell you!"

Nobara - Shopping malls, ferry rides, beach dates, parks with cherry blossoms.

"Baby... tell me, have you ever seen anything as joyous as the ocean?"

You two stood by the seashore, fingers intertwined, your head resting on her shoulders, the sound of the seas splashing against the rocks and the warmth around your foot, it tingled but it feels good at the same time.

"I don't want this moment to end, [your name]."

"Why is that, pretty one?"

A faint sigh leaves her lips, you feeling her body loosen up.

"I just.. school is sort of stressful so my time spent with you liberates me from the pressure, fatigue, and image of curses embedded in my brain. Walking with you... through this airy womb of skies and clouds, don't you know it makes me happy?"

You leaned closer, pressing a soft peck on her cheeks, earning yourself a pair of scarlet cheeks with a gorgeous smile from the one next to you. You turned yourself to face her, hands on her shoulders, bringing her body closer to yours.

"Whenever and wherever you need me, I will be there. I might not be perfect, but I am gonna do my best to be the one you can always count on."

You pressed a kiss on her left cheek.

"I love you."

A kiss on her right cheek.

"I love you."

A kiss to the lips of the woman whom you shared your entire universe with.

"To the moon and back, I love you, Kugisaki Nobara."

The end.

[rosaxui]

❝I wished to give you something, Misaya.❞ Approaching his Master after his trek outside, he pulled his hands from behind his back and slid a golden necklace around her neck; a small golden lotus design hanging from it. ❝I placed a protection charm upon it so it should repel most magic aimed in your direction no different from a barrier.❞ It worked best for curses, though any magic could be repelled. He had not used too much of his mana, so it was not overly powerful though it served its purpose.

─「☫」─  the KING OF KINGS’ return from his ( journey ) outside of the house was announced with how he had something for her. the CHERUBIM was slightly surprised but she expected it to be something of a MODERN’S CREATION that might’ve caught his ( attention ) while he was - strolling - in the city. after all, she had no - problem - with him wandering about on his own. they shared a mutual understanding and respectful bond, strong enough for her to know and TRUST that the ( pharaoh ) could handle himself and wouldn’t make any decision that would endanger either of them. he was a KING, so it was normal for him to roam the city he GRACED his presence with. not to mention, she had high BELIEF in him that he would be able to ( handle ) any servants he came across.

             “ a gift ? ” nonetheless, her attention was pulled back to present time as her - guess - before had been proven INCORRECT. instead of items from modern era, she felt the ( coolness ) of the rare metal substance against the exposed area of her neck. she willingly allowed him to PLACE the ( accessory ) around the column of her neck, yet another SUBTLE show of ( trust ) that the second master would never let anyone made contact to such vulnerable part of her. he was an EXCEPTION, of course.

crimson orbs landed upon the delicate lotus made of gold, the color of the KING who gifted the item to her while lending her ears to the ( explanation ) as to what this beautiful necklace had held. a PROTECTION CHARM. it - dawned - on her as fingertips caressed over the design of the lotus carefully. he made it for her. it wasn’t a TREASURE that he - found - nor something he was given and passed on. it was an item that came from his creation, laced with his ( magic ) that would keep the wearer safe from harms.

SILENCE befell the ( cherubim ), at a loss for words while brilliant mind attempted to find her own thoughts in order to respond properly. but for once, the EMOTIONS that came from the single item, from the kind gesture of the PHARAOH had left her speechless. that - unfamiliar - sense of warmth as her digits traced over the necklace, cradling the SINGLE LOTUS within her palm, the hand that were soaked with SANGUINE color of blood.

ah ... when was the last time she was given a gift ?

and when was the last time she was so happy receiving a gift ?

she could remember neither.

             “ a gift that is both beautiful and powerful ... it’s very much like you, king of kings ... ” finally, words were once again found and flowed smoothly from her lips. what DIFFERENT than usual, however, was the ( tone ) she carried. it wasn’t of confidence she usually exuded, but a softer, rare tone that even the ( SECOND MASTER ) herself didn’t realize she was still capable of speaking in such voice. a tender, grateful tone of voice.

a GENUINE happiness radiated into that ( smile ) she slowly showed him. let him be the only one alive in this whole damned war to witness the MERCILESS CHERUBIM with such a smile.

             “ thank you ... ramesses ... i know it is meant to protect me, but i shall treasure it. ” there was a small pause, perhaps a SPLIT SECOND of hesitation to - voice - the second part, but, there was no need to keep this side of her from him. not him.

he had taught her that it was alright to SHOW him this side of her she had ( kept ) a secret from others.

             “ this is the first time ... i’ve felt this happy to receive a gift from someone. ” a feeling that she thought had been ( lost ) to her, until the moment she had FORMED the pact with this king before her. hand that was - caressing - the NECKLACE now slid to catch his palm, slowly bringing his calloused hand to her lips, turning his palm over and a - single kiss - was placed upon his inner wrist. a ( lone ) kiss that lingered over the small THROB of his ( PULSE ) with lashes draped over her daring red hues.

             no more words were needed --- for the gesture spoke for itself.

Sorry for the delay in replying, Anon 🖤 I was feeling really sick again and my eyes hurt looking at the screen, so I ended up putting my electronics away early last night.

16. Do you own some historical item (e.g. coin, clothing, weapons, books, etc.) If yes, which one is your favourite?

I do, yes! I have two overflowing bookshelves and various nooks and crannies jammed full with books. One of the bookshelves is dedicated to my historical fiction, the other is dedicated to my historical research texts, and the historical research texts spill over onto my desk, etc. I've also been lucky enough to own a few replicas of artefacts! I have some things from Greece with authenticity certificates (bowl replications, cup replications, etc), and I have a lithograph tee-shirt with the Iliad quotes used to make up the image. I've got a few history-inspired tattoos as well, including some ancient Egyptian lotuses, and I have an old samovar my grandma gave me.

Also, I have my great-grandmother's piano, which is over 100 years old... does that count as a historical item?

19. What’s your favourite historical book?

Oh... like a novel? That's unfair, I have so many. I have three top favourites though. These are the three historical novels I read over, and over, and over. One is called "The Heretic Queen" about Nefertari... It condenses a lot of the major events of Ramesses II's reign into a few years, but I love that book. My other favourite is "Counted Among the Stars"--it's about the Exodus, but the author has clearly done their research, and I just love the entire book. The third is actually a fanfic called "On the Edge of a Golden World," which is an AU Tudor history story at over 300k in which Anne Boleyn has a living son. I've read all these at least thirty times I'd wager.

20. Who, if anyone, is your historical crush?

I'm incapable of crushes but! I love so many... William Byrd, Thomas Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Ramesses II, Nefertari, Queen Tiye, etc...

25. Who is the most overrated historical figure, in your opinion?

Mary, Queen of Scots. And I complain about it often.

history ask game!

[ardenssolis]

Iskandar vc: "my good man! The movies can wait. check out this magazine, it's called time I believe and there's an article about you. Oh my, it appears that I should address you as Ramesses al-Akbar-Ramesses the Greatest!" // I'm not sorry xD

     YES GOOD. GOOD! TO be remembered with such pride by his people — how could he not be have his ego pushed beyond the limits of any living being? ❝Of course I am the greatest! I have said that many times. I was not speaking such things for my health, you know.❞ As to whether he was actually the greatest or not…well…that was up to the individual to form an opinion on. Ozymandias would certainly never change his. Needless to say, his mood was considerably heightened.
