Synopsis: It’s an ordinary day aboard the Victoria Punk, and you’re going about your daily tasks. As you turn down a corridor, you notice that the door to your captain’s workshop is slightly ajar. Driven by curiosity, you slip into the forbidden space, and what you discover there far exceeds anything you could have imagined…

Tags: Kid x f!Reader, SFW, complicity, slow burn, silent confession of love.

Notes: I hadn’t planned on publishing another one-shot so soon, but I recently watched a (very old!) movie, and one tiny yet intense scene inspired me! I couldn’t stop thinking about it, so I wrote this. I spent several evenings working on the translation because I was so eager to share it, I hope it turned out well (my husband helped me a little, thank you to him ^^). Yes, it’s another Kid x Reader, what can I say? That fiery, angry man lives rent-free in my head. English is not my first language, so I apologize for any mistakes.

That day, you’re absorbed in your usual tasks, the gentle rhythm of waves lapping against the ship’s hull providing a steady backdrop. The sun hangs high, its light spilling across the deck of the Victoria Punk as the rest of the crew busies themselves with their own routines. The air carries the briny scent of the ocean, mingling with the tang of grease and metal wafting up from below deck, where Kid is deep in his projects.

As you move through a corridor, your eyes catch on a door left slightly ajar to your left; Kid’s workshop. You pause, your gaze lingering on the shadowed space beyond the opening. This place is forbidden. A personal sanctuary where the captain channels his inventive genius and passion for metal. No one enters without his permission, except perhaps Killer. And yet, an irresistible pull of curiosity stirs within you.

What could Kid be creating, hidden from prying eyes?

For a moment, hesitation takes hold, your heartbeat quickening at the thought of stepping where you shouldn’t. But something about that open door feels like a silent beckoning, drawing you closer. Carefully, you edge forward, nudging the door wider as your eyes adjust to the dim interior.

The workshop unfolds before you, revealing its chaotic splendor. The room is expansive, cluttered with raw metal, scattered parts, crumpled sketches, gears, chains, and half-finished weapons. It’s a captivating mess, a mirror of Kid’s explosive creativity and relentless energy.

A fire burns steadily in the forge, while the muted glow of a single lamp throws flickering shadows onto the walls, amplifying the room’s organized disorder. The air is heavy with the scent of heated metal and grease, clinging to every surface. A familiar, comforting aroma that brings to mind the essence of your captain.

Your eyes drift over a collection of sculptures - weird creations and metallic shapes - that seem almost alive under the trembling light of the lantern. Metal hooks, mechanical parts, and intricate designs lie ready to be forged into weapons or inventions wild yet meticulously crafted. Beneath the industrial roughness, there’s a distinct elegance, betraying the precision and mastery behind the chaos.

Then, something at the far end of the room catches your eye. A large object draped in a thick, heavy cloth, imposing and mysterious. Almost unconsciously, you move toward it, curiosity guiding your steps. Your hand grazes the coarse fabric, fingers lingering before you carefully lift the cloth, as if afraid of disturbing something rare and precious.

When the cloth finally falls to the ground, your breath catches. Before you stands a metal bust, sculpted with a precision you never expected from Kid’s hands.

It’s you. Captured in metal, every detail of your face, every strand of your hair, rendered with astonishing accuracy. The polished surface reflects the light, giving the sculpture an almost lifelike aura, as if it could speak to you, as if it could watch you.

Your gaze lingers on every detail. The contours of your face are beautifully rendered. You can’t help but feel overwhelmed by the tenderness that emanates from each line, each curve.

Staring at the sculpture, you feel as if you’re looking into a mirror. But not the kind of mirror that cruelly amplifies every flaw. This is a mirror that reflects a version of yourself you’ve never dared to see. The features sculpted with delicate precision present an image you’ve never associated with yourself, a beauty you never believed you possessed. Your eyes, usually so weary from your own doubts, appear full of strength in this creation. Your lips, which you’ve always thought too plain, are drawn here with such softness it sends a shiver through you.

It’s strange, even unsettling, to see yourself like this. To see this version of yourself through Kid’s eyes. You’re not used to thinking of yourself as beautiful or even attractive. Your reflection in a mirror is always accompanied by silent criticisms, unfair comparisons, those little inner voices reminding you of everything you’re not. But here, for the first time, you find yourself discovering beauty in your features.

You feel destabilized, almost moved, by this vision of yourself that Kid has immortalized in metal. Not because he’s idealized you, but because he’s seen something in you that you refuse to acknowledge in yourself. He has made it permanent, tangible, as if to say, "This is how I see you." It feels like both a declaration and a challenge: "Can you see yourself this way too?"

" What are you doing here?"

Kid’s deep voice snaps you out of your thoughts, making you jump. He’s standing at the entrance, his brows furrowed, his eyes glinting with a hard intensity. Your heart races, caught between guilt and surprise. You know you shouldn’t have entered, but what you’ve just discovered surpasses anything you could have imagined.

" I… I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to..."

Kid strides toward you, his steps heavy and deliberate. When he reaches you, he towers over you, arms crossed, his gaze fixed on the sculpture. A displeased smirk twists his lips. He doesn’t seem angry with you, but you can feel that something about this moment is troubling him.

"It’s a failure", he growls, grabbing the cloth and moving to drape it back over the sculpture.

You stare at him, incredulous. A failure? How could he even think that? This sculpture, with its intricacy and precision, captures far more than a simple resemblance. The details are so finely crafted that they reveal something of you that even your reflection in a mirror has never managed to show. This creation isn’t failed. It’s alive, vibrant. It shows a version of you that you never dared to imagine.

"Failed? Kid, it’s… it’s beautiful", you murmur, your voice sincere, your eyes fixed on the bust as if you’re trying to absorb every detail.

He shakes his head, frustration tightening his features. His fingers drum nervously against his arm - a mechanical gesture - so unlike the controlled force he usually exudes. Shadows of emotion flicker across his face; his usually hard features twist under the weight of agitation and something else… something vulnerable. Then, he lifts his gaze to meet yours. His amber eyes, always so piercing and brutally intense, now seem to search for something in you, something he can’t put into words.

"No, it’s not enough", he mutters, his voice rough but unsteady. "I… I can’t capture what I see when I look at you."

His words hit you like a thunderclap, a truth you hadn’t expected to hear in the raw, suffocating atmosphere of his workshop. Your heart leaps in your chest, every syllable vibrating in the charged air between you. Your throat tightens, and a warm flush spreads through your body, burning your skin and leaving your breath unsteady. How could he speak of you this way? His words, so simple yet deeply sincere, stir something within you. An emotion you weren’t ready to confront.

Your gaze shifts to him, taking in every detail: the taut line of his jaw, the rigid set of his shoulders, but most of all, the way his eyes seem to devour you, as if silently pleading for you to understand what he can’t articulate. Beneath his gruff words, beneath the façade of a hardened and ruthless man, lies something disarming—a tenderness you never imagined, a vision of you that you struggle to comprehend. A beauty. A strength. Qualities you’ve always refused to see in yourself.

Your mind reels, thoughts tumbling over themselves in an unrelenting swirl. This isn’t just about art or a sculpture anymore. What stands before you is far more than a crafted piece of metal. It’s a reflection - not only of yourself - but of what Kid sees in you. It’s a glimpse into his most hidden thoughts, the ones he’ll never express with words but pours into his hands and raw talent instead.

You lift your eyes to him, your breath still uneven. Kid remains motionless, but his gaze pierces through you, vibrating with such intensity that it almost steals the air from your lungs. In this room filled with heat, metal, and tension, you feel something inexplicable. The vulnerability he’s showing, exposed despite himself, touches you deeply, far more than you could have anticipated. It’s no longer just his art you see. It’s him. His doubts, his hopes, his silent way of watching you, interpreting you, revealing you to yourself.

And that revelation unsettles you, stirring a mix of fear and exhilaration, an irresistible urge to see yourself through his eyes.

"I could pose for you, if you want."

The words slip from your lips almost without your permission, propelled by an impulse you can no longer control. The silence that follows stretches endlessly. Heat rises to your cheeks as the weight of what you’ve just offered sinks in, what it truly means. Posing for Kid, standing there under his sharp, unyielding gaze while he molds you, sculpts every detail of you… It’s far more than a simple proposition. It’s baring yourself to him, offering something intimate, personal.

Kid says nothing, his eyes locked on yours, but you catch the faint flicker of surprise in his gaze. His shoulders, once taut with tension, seem to relax, and the hard lines of his face shift subtly. A spark, barely perceptible but undeniable, lights in his amber eyes. It’s a mix of interest, intense curiosity, and perhaps something deeper, something he can’t put into words.

Your heart pounds wildly, each second of the tense silence amplified in your ears. He doesn’t answer right away, but his gaze speaks volumes, holding you as if you’ve just offered him a treasure he never dared dream of. The tension between you tightens further, like an invisible, fragile thread pulling taut under the weight of your suggestion.

Your breathing slows, almost as if suspended, each breath heavy with the anticipation of his response. It’s a moment of rare intensity, where even the smallest movement, the faintest flutter of an eyelash, feels magnified, as though the simple act of breathing might shatter the delicate balance of this charged instant.

Then, he tilts his head slightly, his eyes never leaving yours. That subtle movement, so small yet deliberate, feels like a tacit yes, an acceptance of what you’ve offered. His lips part slightly, but no words come, as if he refuses to break the moment’s fragile power with unnecessary speech. That silence, laden with meaning, sends a shiver cascading down your spine, awakening every nerve to the possibility that has just unfolded between you.

Kid takes a step closer, narrowing the distance between you, and you can see the focus in his eyes. That burning intensity that tells you he accepts, that he’s ready to explore this moment, but on his terms, with the same passion and force he pours into his art.

"Do you realize what you’re offering?" he asks, his tone a blend of incredulity and restrained desire.

Holding his gaze, you nod slowly, feeling the heat rise within you. This is no longer just an agreement but an unspoken promise of a connection you can already sense - intense, consuming - a path you’re about to explore together, with every glance and every gesture as your only language.

"Yes, Kid. I do."

The simplicity of those words carries a weight far beyond their sound. Kid remains motionless before you, his gaze searing, almost devouring. He steps closer, his breath mingling with yours in the heat-laden air. His eyes lock onto yours, and you feel the pull of a dive from which there’s no return.

Slowly, he reaches out, his fingers brushing along your jaw with a gentleness that feels almost impossible from someone of his stature. That single touch ignites every fiber of your being. He studies you, perhaps searching for any flicker of doubt, but you know he’ll find only the glow of certainty, a shared connection you’re offering, a bond you’re eager to explore with him.

Straightening slightly, he commands the space with his imposing presence. With a subtle motion, he signals for you to follow. He moves toward the center of the workshop, where shadows dance to the rhythm of the flames. His steps are slow, deliberate, echoing softly against the floor. You follow without hesitation, drawn by the gravity of his presence, each step pulling you closer to a moment that feels suspended in time. Your breath quickens, your chest tightens, but you continue forward, guided by the magnetic intensity surrounding him.

He stops and turns to face you, his amber eyes fixed on you with an almost devouring intensity. His hand reaches out, guiding you gently to a place where the dim firelight illuminates just enough to make every shadow more vibrant, more alive.

With deliberate care, he places his fingers on your arm. The touch is light, yet it sends a shiver through you, warmth radiating from the contact. He draws you toward a chair bathed in the soft glow of the hearthlight.

"Sit, he murmurs", his rough voice resonating like a caress.

You comply, settling into place under his scrutinizing gaze. Kid approaches, his massive silhouette casting an imposing shadow on the floor, yet his movements are surprisingly gentle. He leans in slightly, his large hands finding their place naturally on your shoulders, adjusting you with care. His fingers press lightly, guiding your body to find the perfect angle.

"There", he murmurs, almost to himself.

He steps back briefly, then moves forward again, this time to touch your face. His hand brushes along your jaw, his warm fingers gliding over your skin with a precision that feels profoundly intimate. He tilts your chin toward the light, his thumb grazing your cheek in a way that leaves you breathless. Your entire body seems to respond to his touch, every nerve heightened.

"Lift your chin… just a bit. There", he whispers.

His eyes linger on your face, tracing every shadow, every curve. He studies you as if he’s trying to etch this image into his memory. Slowly, his hands leave your face, but the warmth of his touch remains, imprinted on your skin.

"Look at me", he breathes, his voice barely audible.

You obey once more, lifting your gaze to meet his, and the tension between you becomes volcanic. His eyes drift in yours for a moment before he gently lowers your hand, placing it on your knee. Every movement, every adjustment he makes to your body feels both deliberate and laced with an underlying sensuality, as if he’s already sculpting - not with his tools - but with his hands against your skin.

At last, he steps away. His towering figure stands outlined by the flickering firelight, every muscle and scar cast into sharp relief—marks you find yourself wanting to trace with your fingertips. His eyes remain fixed on you, burning with a mix of intensity and admiration. The air feels thick, saturated with a heat that doesn’t come only from the hearth. As he retreats, he studies you one last time, then, in a silence that needs no words, he picks up his tools, ready to begin.

The crackling of the fire fades into the background, as if the entire world has shrunk to this workshop. To the flickering light of the flames dancing on the walls. To the intoxicating scent of heated metal and the magnetic presence of Kid, standing before his creation. His fiery gaze stays locked on you, but his hands speak another language entirely. They glide, caressing the polished surface of the sculpture with a delicacy that is almost hypnotic, a meticulous care that contrasts with the raw strength his body naturally exudes.

Every movement he makes seems to sync with your breath. You follow the precise motions of his fingers on the metal as if it were your own skin he was touching, and not the sculpture. When he slowly traces the line of the sculpted jaw, a shiver runs through you. He hasn’t even touched you, and yet, you feel every caress echoing within you, a wave of heat spreading under your skin.

You track his every motion, captivated by the way the metal bends to his touch, its surface smoothing or curving exactly where he wills it, each almost imperceptible adjustment betraying his absolute mastery over the material.

His hands move lower, tracing the familiar curves of the sculpted neck, following with an unexpected tenderness the lines of your body you know so well. Your eyes remain locked on his, unable to look away. It feels as though, in this silence heavy with tension, a wordless dialogue has formed between you. His gestures speak of intensity, of control, but also of a desire he seems to channel into the metal, perhaps unable to express it any other way.

Kid leans in slightly, his face drawing closer to the sculpture, and your heart skips a beat. His fingers pause on the line of the metallic lips, a motion so slow, so deliberate, it feels almost sacred. The tension in the air becomes palpable, almost unbearable. Every movement of his hands, every stroke against the metal, seems a reflection of what he wants, what he longs to do with you. Your breath grows shallow, every muscle in your body taut with the anticipation he stirs, even without touching you.

His fingers glide upward, tracing the curve of the sculpted cheek with unexpected tenderness. You can almost hear the material hum beneath his touch, ready to surrender completely to his will, and the shiver it elicits seems to pass straight through you. He lifts his eyes, and you find yourself lost in their fiery intensity, where an uncompromising flame burns. He’s not just capturing your face, he’s searching for something deeper within you, a silent echo of his own desire.

Kid barely moves, yet the intensity of his gaze, combined with the precision of his hands, pulls you into a whirlwind of sensations. This is no longer just a sculpture; it’s a bridge between you, a silent language where every motion of his hands on the metal reverberates through your body. When his fingers trace the curve of the sculpted shoulder, then slowly move down the metallic arm, it feels as though a trail of fire marks your skin, awakening every fiber, every nerve to an impossible heat.

At last, he steps back, observing the sculpture with a gaze as intense as ever. His fingers hover mid-air, as though hesitating to add one final detail. But he doesn’t. A deep silence fills the workshop, broken only by the crackling of the fire in the hearth. You remain still, captivated by what he has created—and by the man before you, whose tension feels almost electric, saturating the air between you.

The sculpture is breathtaking. It’s you, but it’s also so much more. Every detail seems to breathe, alive with the energy he’s infused into it. But what strikes you the most is how he sees you. Strong, beautiful, vulnerable, and intense all at once. Your features, shaped by his hands, capture something you never even knew existed within you.

Kid looks at you now, his eyes igniting something deep within your soul. He says nothing, but his gaze is enough. It’s heavy with meaning, charged with a desire he no longer tries to hide. You feel exposed under the dim light, as though the sculpture isn’t the only thing he’s laid bare tonight. And yet, you’re not afraid. You feel drawn, pulled by the magnetic force he emanates.

You stand, hesitant at first, but step closer, as if compelled by the invisible bond forming between you. His eyes never leave you, tracking your every movement. Your breathing quickens, and a burning heat floods your body, but it’s not the fire causing it. It’s him. His presence, his power, his mastery over everything around him, including you.

"It’s you I see in this sculpture", he murmurs at last, his voice rough and low, almost an admission he hadn’t planned to make.

The words hit you like a tidal wave. He doesn’t wait for a response, and you have none to give. You’re already too absorbed by what he’s created, by what he’s just revealed. Slowly, he approaches, and you remain still, unable to look away. When he’s close, so close you can feel the warmth radiating from his body, he raises a hand. With the same gentleness he showed while sculpting, his fingers brush against your cheek.

The touch is searing. You shiver under the caress, your lips parting slightly as a breath escapes you that you hadn’t realized you were holding. His gaze drops to your lips, and for a moment, he hesitates. But only for a moment, because the tension between you becomes unbearable.

At last, he closes the distance. His lips capture yours with a controlled urgency, a blend of strength and tenderness that makes you melt. You close your eyes, surrendering to the fiery wave rushing through you. His hands glide from your face to your waist, pulling you closer as if he can no longer bear the space between your bodies.

The fire in the hearth is nothing compared to the heat consuming you both. His kisses grow deeper, more demanding, and you match his intensity, your fingers tangling in his red hair, still damp with sweat. The room, the world, seems to fade around you. There is only the two of you, and this passionate connection, finally unleashed after being held back for far too long.

Kid lifts you slightly, gently pressing you against the workbench, his gaze locked on yours as he murmurs your name with a fervor you’ve never heard before.

You don’t know when the moment shifts. Only that you’ve both surrendered - slowly - to the purest expression of love, where silence and tension say everything, where every gesture becomes a promise of what’s to come.

And the sculpture, in its stillness, stands as a silent witness to this shared surrender, its metallic sheen capturing the passion that finally finds its way, unrestrained. In this workshop, where fire meets metal, your bodies come together with an intensity even the silence cannot contain, etching this moment into the flickering light of the flames and the eternal steel of what he’s created.

Game Review: Blue Prince

I confess I'm a little surprised by the fact that Blue Prince is getting so much positive buzz right now. I think it's a good game, but it feels very specifically pointed at a small group of puzzle and roguelike nerds, and I'm not sure how much fun you'll have with it if you're not pretty comfortable at that intersection.

Fortunately for me, I am at that intersection.

(This review will be spoiler-free except in the very strictest sense where I talk about some features that the game contains.)

The story of Blue Prince is that there's a mansion in the middle of nowhere that has a twisting interior, never the same twice. The core gameplay of Blue Prince is that you're doing successive runs through the mansion, limited by how many "steps" you can take, drafting from a selection of three rooms every time you open a door. Your run will eventually end when you're out of steps or you draft a series of bad rooms that wind up with dead ends.

Blue Prince somewhat demands keeping a notebook open beside you, and that's something that I really appreciate in games. You see things in the rooms, you write down anything that looks important, and especially anything that has any kind of number on it. You make note of names and where you've seen them before. It's fun! I do wish that there was some in-game way of at least cataloging every one of the numerous pieces of paper I found, since I ended up taking tons of screenshots that were kind of annoying to flip through. It felt like a necessary thing to do, because if you read a letter, it exists only in a specific room, and the roguelite nature of the game means that you can't exactly just go back to the same spot.

And this is, probably, the biggest fundamental problem with the game. They give you a lot of threads to pull at, but some of those threads require that you draft a room that's actually very rare, and if you're dead-set on pulling a specific thread, then you're at the mercy of the random number generator. Certain runs are simply not going to allow you to complete certain tasks.

This feels bad, but it's at least somewhat baked into the premise. You have a choice of three rooms every time you open a door, and so far as I know (having at least gotten the end credits screen) there's no way to guarantee seeing what you want to see. Which makes sense, since it wouldn't be much of a roguelite if you could just do whatever you wanted. This leads to tedium if you're throwing away a ~20 minute run through the house that accomplished nothing.

I beat the game in six hours, which I imagine is probably on the fast side: I had played the demo a fair amount, but hadn't ported over any of the information, and don't actually know if the solutions there still work in the full game. There was a lot of meat left on the bone, puzzles I wasn't finished with, information that was pointing somewhere that I didn't know what to do with. But in the post-game runs, I've been noticing more of the tedium, and the ways that the slow walking pace gets me jonesing for my next hit of "actually making a meaningful choice".

There's something interesting to me about the way the game transitions from slow and methodical at the start to something a little faster toward the end, the way you start to just blast through the rooms because you know the backward and forward, having already determined what's important and what's not. Blasting through the rooms isn't what the game seems designed for, but it is the natural conclusion of mastery.

For the people who hate this game, I think it's going to come down to a feeling like you can't solve puzzles at your own pace. I had a bit of that feeling a few times, particularly once when I was in the middle of a run and came across a room that must be extremely rare, since I had never seen it before. It had some puzzles to solve, and I didn't particularly feel like solving them, but I knew that if I went away, it might be ages before I had a chance again. Not a great feeling.

The actual puzzle design ends up being somewhat mixed. There are a few "process" puzzles where you're mostly just sitting there with a key and some coded message, and these require pencil power more than brain power. There are a few that aren't really puzzles at all, just "combine answer with input". But overall, I've enjoyed it either way, and the times I spent figuring out some mechanism have been fun.

My guess is that the game is going to end up being divisive, mostly because it doesn't do the normal puzzle game thing. I'm having a blast with it, though my opinion might change as I finish more of the challenges and lengthy puzzles. My sense is that it's the kind of game that will drop a bit in my estimation as it does that, and that it'll mostly be because backtracking and RNG can get tedious in a hurry, but I guess we'll see.

This vibrant 1878 illustration offers a captivating glimpse into the bustling interior of the Shippō Kaisha (七宝会社), or Cloisonné Company, in Aichi Prefecture. Here, artisans are meticulously engaged in the intricate process of creating Shippō-yaki (七宝焼), or Japanese cloisonné enamelware, renowned for its dazzling colors and elaborate designs.

The scene is alive with activity—craftsmen carefully inspecting vases, painting delicate patterns, and recording details, while customers, including Western figures (a nod to the growing international interest in Japanese decorative arts), admire the exquisite pieces. Shelves brimming with vibrant green, blue, and gold enamelware, from delicate cups to grand vases, showcase the height of Japanese craftsmanship during the Meiji era, a time when Japan was rapidly modernizing and sharing its artistry with the world.

Shippō-yaki gained immense popularity in international exhibitions, admired for its glossy, jewel-like surfaces and intricate wirework. This thriving industry reflected not only Japan’s mastery of traditional techniques but also its ability to adapt and innovate in response to global tastes.

Imagine standing in this room, surrounded by the shimmer of polished enamel, the quiet concentration of artisans at work, and the awe of visitors discovering the brilliance of Japanese cloisonné for the first time. ✨

Kombaelam Dorm Overhaul

Dorm Overview:

The dorm's core themes could revolve around combat mastery, honor, and balance, echoing Mortal Kombat’s emphasis on fierce competition but also the idea of a greater balance between realms. Each student would be trained in different styles of fighting or wield unique elemental powers.

Dorm Motto: Strength in Unity, Power in Kombat

Dorm Structure:

Training Arena: The dorm would feature an elaborate training ground where students practice their combat skills. Like the arenas in Mortal Kombat, this space could have different stages—icy platforms, fiery pits, or mystical temples—representing various styles.

Meditation Chamber: A room for spiritual and mental training, where students find balance between their powers and their inner peace, similar to the meditative nature of characters like Raiden or Liu Kang.

Elemental Zones: Dorm members are split into groups based on elemental affinities like Fire, Ice, Thunder, Earth, and Shadow. Each element would have its own hall where students can practice and hone their specific powers.

Dorm Exterior Design

The dorm's exterior resembles a fortified temple, built to reflect strength and power. The structure is influenced by Shaolin temple architecture, with an imposing entrance flanked by stone statues of warriors or dragons. The rooflines have sweeping, pointed arcs, and the walls would feature intricate carvings representing the elemental forces—fire, ice, lightning, and earth. The colors are bold, like black, gold, and red to evoke a sense of danger and honor.

Main Gate: Large double doors with the dorm's sigil etched into them, guarded by stone warriors.

Courtyard: Before entering the dorm, a large training courtyard would be visible, surrounded by flame-lit torches and stone pillars. It's has a martial arts ring or sparring areas for open combat practice.

---

Interior Design

The dorm's interiors is a balance between combat readiness and spiritual mastery, blending practical spaces for training with areas meant for mental and magical reflection.

Main Hall: A grand hall with a massive mural depicting a legendary battle, representing the history of the Mortal Kombat realms. The floor is made of black stone, polished to reflect the light of flickering torches and glowing elemental symbols embedded into the walls. Statues of legendary fighters and drawings of mythical creatures are in line the walls.

---

Combat Rooms: Different rooms would be dedicated to each elemental style

Fire Room: Lava pools, flames emerging from the walls, and charred stone floors for practicing fire-based techniques.

Ice Room: Frost-covered pillars and walls, with icy platforms where ice-based combatants practice.

Thunder Room: Electric conduits running along the walls, with platforms designed to channel and withstand strikes of lightning.

Earth Room: Stone platforms that can rise or shift during combat, representing the strength and adaptability of earth-based fighters.

Shadow Room: A dimly lit chamber where shadow fighters practice stealth and agility in near-darkness.

---

Dorm Rooms:

Each dorm member’s personal room would reflect their chosen element. For example:

Fire-themed room: Walls accented in reds and oranges, with decorative flames along the ceiling and heat radiating stones.

Ice-themed room: Blues and whites dominate, with cool lighting and ice-like crystals embedded in the furniture.

Thunder-themed room: Bright flashes of yellow and blue, with metallic surfaces that give off an electric feel.

Each room would have minimalist but practical decor—mats for meditation, weapon racks, and a study area reflecting the balance between martial and mental discipline.

---

Special Rooms:

Training Grounds: The dorm would have an expansive indoor-outdoor area for sparring matches and combat training. These arenas would take inspiration from Mortal Kombat stages—stone arenas, fiery pits, and ice-covered platforms. The areas could be magically enhanced to simulate different environments and tests of strength.

Meditation Chambers: A sacred, quiet space dedicated to mental focus, discipline, and inner reflection. It has calming elements—soft lighting, incense, elemental fountains (like a small fire or flowing water)—where members can meditate on their skills and mental balance.

Elemental Shrines: At the center of the dorm, there would be shrines dedicated to each elemental power. Students come here to pay respects or seek guidance from the powers associated with their elements. These shrines would glow with the energy of their respective elements (fiery embers for fire, icy blue for ice, etc.).

---

Color Scheme:

Primary Colors: Black, red, and gold to signify strength, honor, and the intensity of combat.

Accent Colors: Elemental hues for different areas (fire-red, ice-blue, thunder-yellow, earth-brown, shadow-purple).

---

Lighting & Decorations:

Torch-lit Corridors: The hallways and common areas would be lit by flame-torches or glowing orbs, casting dramatic shadows.

Weapon Displays: The dorm would feature weapon racks and displays of traditional combat gear—swords, kunai, bo staffs—used by legendary fighters.

Banners and Scrolls: Hanging banners in bold colors (red, gold, black) with the dorm’s sigil and ancient combat proverbs to remind students of their commitment to strength and honor.

NPC Uniform

Students' uniforms would resemble martial arts outfits with sleek designs reflecting their combat focus. They could have long, flowing robes or fighting gear with armor accents. Each student's outfit could bear their elemental affiliation through subtle color accents, like a red sash for fire, a blue belt for ice, etc.

Elemental Outfits: Dorm uniforms have different color schemes and accents depending on which Kamidogu a student aligns with. For instance:

Fire-aligned students have red and gold embroidery on their robes.

Water-aligned students have flowing, wave-like patterns in blue.

Earth-aligned students have more practical, rugged textures with green or brown accents.

@hourglassstationacademy @fumikomiyasaki I'm doing the a Komabealm overhaul. This is just the dorm and the NPC Students.

Ywa Wasn't Invited - Destiny AU

The Tower hanger was one of the least professional places in the Vanguard’s ��temporary” headquarters. The regulations were largely ignored so it had become a sort of spillover lounge for dying clubs and alien guests and the occasional ill-advised sporting contest. Not the sort of thing that one would expect in a place meant for repairing the means to interstellar travel. The only real rule that Guardians respected was first come, first serve and unless there was a reason to be in the City, there were always a few empty hangars for individual repairs or customization.

Ty’s ship was long overdue for a tune up. He didn’t think “functioning” should be the bear minimum but sometimes it was easy to forget that routine maintenance was a must, especially when he kept snoozing the reminder and ignoring the check engine light.

He was still in his armor from the waist down, mark set reverently aside, with only a tank top up top and a pair of heavy-duty work gloves to keep the oil off his hands. Dienekes was providing direction and diagnostics as Ty took a wrench to the inner workings of his ship, and from the outside probably looked ridiculous with just his legs dangling from the barely Titan sized hatch that he had crammed himself into.

Hunched as he was, it didn’t take much for him to smash his head into the ceramic interior when a seething voice hissed in his ear, “Would you prefer to be crushed in your own singularity or shall I just light you on fire instead?”

He banged his head and fell out of the ship. To his credit, Ty landed on his stumbly feet and kept a grip on the wrench in his hand while the other one nursed the forming bruise.

Ywa laughed.

The Warlock changed a lot and stayed the same over the hundred years that Ty had known her. Her look varied frequently, oft times a custom work of her own design flaunting some new power that she had puzzled out of the fabric of the universe, but her mischief, penchant for trouble, and a couple signature ticks kept Ywa recognizable to most anyone that was anyone. She was the oldest Guardian that anyone knew aside from perhaps Lord Saladin, had an obsession with cats and their curiosity, and loved the color red. Not for any reason, she just liked the color.

She also had an affection for Ty that he wasn’t sure he liked or not. In his early days as a Guardian, having a powerful Warlock as a friend was a delight, but the longer she spent happily cooped up behind city walls the more she leaned on him for odd favors. It was her unpredictability that made Ty decline her request to join the six-man fireteam to Europa, and looking at her now, he was extra sure that decision had been the right one.

She was glaring at him with her arms crossed against her chest as she floated in the air above him, upside down. Void energy lashed behind her like a tail, flicking in a display of mastery and irritation. While her long Warlock robes and glasses defied gravity, Ywa’s hair did not and reached for the ground. Ty assumed that was a personal decision to contribute to a more deranged and angry expression.

Briefly he considered throwing the wrench at her and making a run for it but he’d never make it.

Dienekes zoomed out of the hatch on the ship, looked between them, and zoomed back in. At least one of them was safe.

“Ywa-“

“Zavala TOLD me that it was YOUR call,” she grumbled.

“I wasn’t bringing three Warlocks.”

She seemed puzzled and the tail stilled. Ywa slowly walked in a circle with her head as a pivot point until she was upright once more and standing like a normal person a foot or so above the hangar floor. She was keeping herself exactly an inch taller than Ty, he realized after a moment.

Ywa stomped her foot, and it still made the sound of a boot on a steel floor despite the lack of physical contact. “WHICH Warlock was more qualified than I was?”

Ty scratched the back of his head with the wrench and, realizing he wasn’t in immediate danger, got back to work while they talked. “Opposite. A Kinderguardian named Evie.”

“Evie Kiku?”

He flashed her a confused look between reading numbers on the wing. “Yeah… do you know her?”

Ywa grinned and danced in place for exactly five tip-toe steps. “I’m the one who rejected her thesis.”

“Mean,” Ty grumbled half-heartedly and pulled on a couple levers to remove another hatch so he could check the inside of one of the wings.

The Warlock waved a hand dismissively and jumped into a cross-legged position without changing her height. “Not enough practical experience. The Praxic Order shouldn’t’ve let her write one without hands-on experimentation.”

“So, it’s a good thing she went with us then?”

Ywa frowned and then mumbled, “touché. …you should’ve left one of your boys.”

“Absolutely not.”

“Inseparable, hm?” she teased.

“Yep.”

“Then that wasn’t their names on that list of fireteams in the field right now? With a Warlock?”

Ty’s shoulders visibly slumped, and Ywa’s tail swished back and forth like a Golden Age clock. He didn’t answer and instead clambered into the wing enough to reach a cable that was in good condition but perhaps a little old. He ripped it out and tossed it at her. The debris went through her tail, dissolving it like smoke for a few seconds before it reformed and resumed its hypnotic gliding.

“Sore subject?” she prodded.

“I’m glad they’re branching out,” he said after a moment. Ty rolled his wrist and Dienekes materialized, quietly providing a replacement cable.

“You don’t sound convinced.”

“If you want gossip, you old hag, go chatter to the order about Kai.”

She tucked both her hands under her chin. “Oh? What about him?”

Ty put the part up into the ship and climbed after it. “He’s on a mission right now.” His voice echoed a little.

“Yawn.”

“With someone.”

“Listening.”

“Evie,” Ty grunted as he fell out of the ship again. He put the panel back in place.

“…against his will, yeah?”

“She’s not holding him at gunpoint if that’s what you’re asking.” Ty pulled a dirty rag out of his back pocket and wiped his face, smearing more oil across his forehead than he was able to remove.

“He asked?”

“He didn’t say no when she invited herself.”

“That’s not the same,” Ywa huffed, disappointed, but she caught herself after rolling the thought around. A little gust of wind puffed around her, and she smiled as pieces lined up. “It’s not nothing. I read your report from Europa and Neomuna, it seemed boring and routine.” Ty shrugged and Ywa narrowed her eyes. “Oh Ty. Ty Ty Ty, my favorite Sunbreaker, you wouldn’t have kept important PERSONAL details from the OFFICIAL report, would you? I would love to hear more about it over dinner.”

“Pass.”

She unfolded her legs and glided in close, giving herself another inch of height as she looped a finger around the chain for his dog tags to keep him from escaping. “So about lighting you on fire.”

“What time?” he sighed. Ty’s expression was caught in the intersection between deadpan and ‘ah yes, the usual shit’ annoyed.

“I’ll send for you at eight.”

“Can’t wait.”

A Journey Through Kitchen Arch Design History

An architectural feature like an archway adds a unique, compelling, deep appeal to any space, including the often-overlooked kitchen. Over recent years, the fascination for kitchen archway design has surged as homeowners aim to amplify the aesthetics and practicality of their kitchen spaces. Such arches offer a fluid, eye-catching linkage between rooms, fostering an aura of openness and hospitality. Regardless of your home’s stylistic orientation — traditional, modern, or a blend of both — a well-executed kitchen archway can drastically boost your interior design.

The kitchen arch design, a familiar sight in many homes today, boasts a rich history that stretches back centuries. Its journey is one of adaptation and evolution, reflecting changing architectural styles, societal needs, and even technological advancements.

Let’s delve deeper into this fascinating story:

Ancient Beginnings (2nd Millennium BC): While the earliest documented uses of arches appear in Mesopotamia, primarily for structural support in larger buildings, they planted the seed for their future application in kitchens. This period laid the foundation for the technology and concepts that would shape arches in the years to come.

Roman Innovation (1st Century BC — 5th Century AD): The Roman Empire witnessed a golden age of arch construction. Their mastery of the technique extended beyond aqueducts and bridges, potentially reaching domestic spaces like kitchens in grand Roman houses. However, concrete evidence of everyday kitchens incorporating arches remains elusive.

Medieval Transformations (5th Century AD — 15th Century AD): During the Middle Ages, the focus shifted towards smaller, more practical kitchens within castles and manors. While grander architectural features continued to utilize arches, their presence in the typically smaller and more utilitarian kitchens of the era was quite limited.

The Rise of Domesticity (17th Century — 19th Century): As the concept of domesticity gained greater emphasis, kitchens began to occupy a more prominent role within the home. The Georgian era (1714–1830) in Britain, for instance, saw kitchens incorporating elegant rounded doorways and arch-shaped windows, adding a touch of sophistication to these increasingly important spaces.

Modern Influences (Early 20th Century): The 20th century brought various architectural movements that significantly impacted kitchen design. Art Deco (1920s & 1930s), known for its geometric shapes and clean lines, embraced the arch in a more stylized and modern way, offering a fresh interpretation of this classic element.

Post-War Functionality (Mid-20th Century): Following the Second World War, housing trends prioritized practicality and efficiency in response to changing needs and realities. The “Frankfurt Kitchen” (1926), a pioneering design that shaped modern kitchens, emphasized a streamlined layout with straight lines and minimal ornamentation, favoring functionality over elaborate design elements like arches.

The Return of the Arch (Late 20th Century — Present): Recent decades have witnessed a resurgence of the arch in various design styles. Tuscan-inspired kitchens often feature arched doorways and windows, evoking a sense of warmth and traditional elegance. Meanwhile, some contemporary kitchens utilize recessed arches to create visual interest and delineate specific areas within the space, offering a more modern interpretation of this timeless element.

Beyond their aesthetic appeal, arches in kitchens can offer some practical benefits as well:

Openness and connection: Arches can visually connect different areas within the kitchen, fostering a sense of spaciousness and encouraging a more seamless flow between spaces.

Light and ventilation: Larger arches can facilitate the flow of natural light and improve air circulation, making the kitchen a more pleasant and healthy environment.

Storage and function: In some instances, arches can be incorporated into cabinetry designs, providing additional storage space or creating unique display areas, offering a functional element to their aesthetic charm.

From its ancient origins to its modern interpretations, the arch continues to add a touch of history, elegance, and functionality to kitchens across the globe. As design trends evolve, the future of the kitchen arch remains open to creative expression, ensuring that this timeless element continues to grace our kitchens for years to come.

What Does a Still Photographer Do?

A still photographer is a professional who captures images that tell stories, convey emotions, or highlight specific subjects, often in a single-frame format. Unlike motion or video photographers, still photographers focus on creating standalone images that can range from commercial shots of products to intimate portraits, architectural photography, and behind-the-scenes images on film sets. These photographs serve various purposes, including marketing, branding, editorial features, and creative art pieces.

What Does a Still Photographer Do?

Still photographers can work in diverse settings and genres, but their primary role is to create compelling images that align with the vision of their clients or projects. Here are some common areas of focus:

Portrait Photography: This includes individual and group portraits, often aimed at capturing personality, emotions, and expressions in a way that resonates with viewers.

Product Photography: Essential for e-commerce, this style of still photography showcases products in detail, making them visually appealing and true-to-life to attract potential buyers.

Architectural and Interior Photography: Focuses on capturing buildings, structures, and interior spaces in a way that highlights their design, function, and aesthetic appeal.

Food Photography: Often seen in marketing materials, magazines, and online content, food photography emphasizes the colors, textures, and presentation of food, enticing viewers.

Behind-the-Scenes (BTS) Photography: Common in film, television, and event productions, BTS photography documents the production process, capturing candid moments of cast, crew, and set elements.

Responsibilities of a Still Photographer

Concept and Pre-Production Planning: Working with clients to understand the vision, purpose, and style required for the photoshoot, including storyboarding and planning for lighting, props, and settings.

Setting Up and Composition: Using technical knowledge and creative composition to arrange subjects, frame shots, and control lighting, which enhances the overall quality and mood of the image.

Shooting On-Set or On-Location: Whether in a studio or on location, still photographers work to capture high-quality images that meet the project’s needs while making adjustments for natural or artificial lighting, background elements, and subject positioning.

Post-Processing and Editing: After the shoot, photographers edit images to adjust exposure, contrast, color, and sharpness, retouching as needed to ensure the final product is polished and visually impactful.

Skills Required for a Still Photographer

A successful still photographer blends technical skills with creativity and often adapts to a range of subjects and environments. Here are some key skills:

Technical Proficiency: Mastery of camera equipment, lenses, and lighting setups, as well as post-processing software like Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, is essential for producing professional-quality images.

Composition and Visual Storytelling: Understanding how to arrange and frame subjects to evoke specific moods or narratives within a single frame.

Adaptability and Problem-Solving: Still photographers often face unpredictable conditions and must be adaptable, adjusting settings or setups to capture the perfect shot.

Communication and Collaboration: Many projects require working closely with clients, models, art directors, and marketing teams to ensure the final images meet expectations and project requirements.

Types of Still Photography

Still photographers may specialize in a particular genre or work across different types of photography, each requiring unique skills and approaches:

Editorial and Lifestyle Photography: These images are commonly used in magazines and websites, often capturing candid or natural moments that convey a story or lifestyle vibe.

Fine Art Photography: This genre allows photographers to express their creative visions and is often seen in galleries or art publications.

Event Photography: From corporate events to weddings, event photographers capture moments that will preserve memories for the subjects or document the event’s progression.

Nature and Landscape Photography: Showcasing natural environments, landscapes, and wildlife, these images often require patience, timing, and an understanding of natural light and weather conditions.

How to Choose a Still Photographer

Finding the right still photographer depends on your project’s specific needs and vision. Consider the following:

Review Their Portfolio: Look at the photographer’s previous work to get a sense of their style, technical skills, and versatility. Ensure their strengths align with your project’s goals.

Understand Their Experience: A photographer’s experience in your particular industry or type of project (e.g., food photography, fashion, or architecture) can impact the quality and relevance of the final images.

Budget and Availability: Discuss your budget upfront and ensure the photographer’s rates and availability align with your timeline and project constraints.

Personality and Communication: Since photographers often collaborate with teams or clients, their communication skills and ability to understand your vision are essential for a successful outcome.

Final Thoughts

Still photographers bring stories to life through single frames, creating images that resonate, inform, or entice viewers. Whether it’s a product that needs to stand out in a crowded market, a portrait that captures character, or a scene that provides a behind-the-scenes glimpse, the skill and artistry of a still photographer are crucial. By blending technical skill with a creative eye, they turn moments into lasting visual memories, giving projects a visual identity and impact.

Character Intro: Matikós (Kingdom of Ichor)

Nicknames- The Ringmaster by the people of Olympius

Father by Thespios

Darling by his boyfriend

Age- 45 (immortal)

Location- Mania district, New Olympus

Personality- With a true love & devotion to theatrics and the arts, he has the personality to match- loud, bombastic, & over-the-top! He loves putting on a show, thriving on the applause of the audience. He's gay and is in a relationship.

He has the standard abilities of a god. As the god of performance his other powers/abilities include having an audiographic memory, elasticity, limited pyrokinesis, fire immunity, smoke generation/manipulation, character imitation, performance art mastery, circus mastery, being able to control/manipulate stage lights, & the ability of omnitone (is able to generate sounds in any pitch or tone).

Matikós is a single father. He has one child- a son Thespios (god of acting).

He and his son live on the top floor of The Tauros Building, a luxury high rise apartment building located in the Mania neighborhood of New Olympus. One of his good friends Rhapso (goddess of sewing) helped with the interior design. Inside the color scheme is gold, black, dark violet, & bright carnelian red. On all of the windows hang gold trimmed velvet curtains while most of the flooring is black velvet carpeting. The living room has leather & velvet furniture, Victorian inspired furniture pieces, as well as a crystal and diamond chandelier. The kitchen has an Imperial Gold popcorn machine, a gift from Zeus (god of the sky, thunder, & lightning). In Matikós' bedroom there's the latest iCHOR Tech smart flat screen TV, burgundy velvet carpeting, a dark mahogany four poster bed, decorative masquerade masks on the walls, & an Imperial Gold grandfather's clock.

Matikós and his son are dragonriders! Thespios' companion is a she-dragon named Ravenshade while Matikós' companion is a dragon named Anguis. The dragon has a serpentine body with speckled gold & dark red wings, gold horns, claws, and crests, & shimmering black scales. Anguis is often Matikós' primary mode of transportation as well as a featured act in the shows.

He's fluent in Latin, French, & Minoan.

Matikós starts off his mornings with an hour of stretching, meditation, and yoga.

He has a "no screen rule" implemented in the apartment for him, his son, & guests. No TV or phones while eating at the dinner table, giving the opportunity for undistracted conversations.

A typical breakfast for him is a homemade blackberry açaí smoothie bowl topped with fresh blackberries, unsweetened shredded coconut, chia seeds, & toasted pumpkin seeds. He's also fond of scrambled eggs (added with mushrooms, parsley, & peppers), Golly Grains caramel curls cereal, sliced papaya and mango (garnished with cayenne pepper & lime salt), and pao de queso- spread with butter.

Matikós always knew that he wanted to be a father. He went back and forth with the idea of adoption before finally settling on surrogacy. He came into contact with his son's eventual biological mother- a free-spirited & feisty maenad named Aida when he traveled to Thebes for the Dionysia holiday. They quickly bonded over their mutual love for wine and the performing arts. A few weeks later, the official process began. Matikós was Aida's birthing coach & was present in the delivery room during his son's birth. She even breastfed the baby for a few weeks before returning home. He and Aida remained in touch, mainly through phone calls & she would send breastmilk for the baby. Matikós even sent her photos of Thespios throughout his childhood. There are plans for his son to take a vacation to Thebes- where Thespios will stay with Aida and her girlfriend.

A go-to drink for him is a daiquiri. He also likes champagne, rum punch, p*rn star cocktails, red wine, manhattans, chocolate martinis, New Olympus Iced Teas, cuban almond cigar cocktails, a sex on the beach, red brandy sunsets, and cubatas. Usuals from Tne Roasted Bean includes a large iced tea & an olympian sized double chocolate chip creme frappuccino. He likes to make his own espressos and cappuccinos at home.

Outside his profession, he's very talented in interpretive & ballroom dancing.

Matikós and his son have a close relationship. He thought it was important to nuture and cultivate Thespios' interest in the performing arts. Every week they venture into the city to check out the latest film, play, musical, or opera. They also enjoy riding their dragons together! They really enjoyed traveling to the Underworld for the premier of the film Blooddancer- written & directed by Keres (goddess of violent death).

When he works out, he loves listening to classical music.

In the past he was a recreational user of lotus dust, mushrooms, as well as MDMA. Matikós stopped when it was confirmed that Aida was pregnant.

The peach & burrata caprese salad (topped with candied pecans & extra spicy honey dressing) is his favorite thing to get from The Bread Box.

He loves snacking on gourmet caramel honey popcorn.

Matikós income comes from his businesses- his burlesque lounge (located in the Skyline neighborhood) called Enchanté & his adult -centered circus called Mirage Menagerie. The circus is based in the city too (as he doesn't want to be far from his son)- having the realm's best performers of jugglers, clowns, acrobats, contortionists, knife throwers, tight rope walkers, stuntbeings, & fire eaters! Notable acts include the strength routine performed by conjoined twin cyclopes named Baron and Cosmo, the giantess Fantasia, & the nude painting duo (lotus eaters named Naima and Aster).

There has been a MAJOR new development in Matikós' career. He's been offered a year long residency with his performing circus at Acropolis Square Garden. He's still thinking about the offer.

Two of his most guilty pleasures are black olive & green pepper sicilian pizza and steamed lobster tails with lots of garlic butter!

His best friend in the entire pantheon is Felis (Titaness of cats). Matikós loves flying to Arcadia to see her and he made her Thespios' noná. They tell each other stuff that they don't share with anyone else, like Felis' growing feelings towards Koros (god of surfeit & disdain). On a night out, they love scouting the newest & hottest nighclub!

Matikós is also good friends with Philotes (goddess of sex, friendship, & affection), Kósmima (goddess of adornment), Apólafsi (god of enjoyment), Sponde (goddess of libations), Kithaeron (one of The Ourea), Záchari (god of confectionery), Anatole (goddess of sunrise), Panigýri (goddess of festivals), Mousika (goddess of studying & music), Kéfi (goddess of mirth), Sardo (one of The Nesoi), Lyrikós (Titaness of voice & song), Epimetheus (Titan god of afterthought), and Priapus (god of fertility, vegetable gardens, livestock, sexuality, & masculinity).

Outside the pantheon he's good friends with one of the burlesque dancers at Enchanté- a siren named Myria.

Matikós officially mentored Melpomene (muse of tragedy).

His favorite frozen treat is pink lotus ice cream. There's an ice cream shop in the Chant du Cygne neighborhood that sells the flavor.

For the past decade, he's been in a committed relationship with a satyr named Silvano. Silvano plays the trumpet in a jazz band called The Gold Note Band. They first met at Yrgó Veloúdo- the smoking room/bar owned by Agathodaemon (Daemon) (god of vineyards, grainfields, & luck). Matikós was there with Felis while the band had a scheduled performance there. Under Felis' teasing & three glasses of red wine, he walked up to the handsome trumpet player, asking him for his number. The attraction was immediate and mutual with their first date being at a jazz club in the Lunar neighborhood of New Olympus. Matikós loves everything about Silvano- his full lips, his adorably chubby belly, his curved brown horns, & his mesmerizing hooded olive green eyes. He equally loves his boyfriend's family- with the two of them visiting Silvano's family in Athens.

He's not a musical snob, listening to a bit of everything. At the apartment, he has an extensive collection of vinyl records.

Matikós was Lyrikós' plus one at the Golden Laurel Awards where she performed with her daughter Aoide (goddess of voice & song).

He likes the jars of pickled peppers and homemade salsa Priapus gifts to him.

Matikós loves hosting dinner parties at the apartment. He and his guests are dedicated charades players!

He was gifted a pair of black velvet jeweled embroidered loafers by Kéfi.

He enjoyed traveling to Rhodes for the state's annual fireworks show along with Anatole, Apólafsi, & his family- his wife Eudaimonia (goddess of happiness) and daughter Paidia (goddess of play & amusement).

Matikós' favorite desserts are the pain au chocolat from Salon du Sucre & the tiramisu from Hollyhock's Bakery.

In his free time Matikós enjoys swimming, aerial yoga, roller skating, reading, tennis, football (soccer), sailing, cooking, surfing, writing, sunbathing, and sketching.

His all time favorite meal is feijoada with steamed yellow rice.

"Life is a circus and we're all performers."
