Year 1681

TW/CW: Death, Stillbirth

With the new year, Giovanni Cesare and Vivienne's marriage remained turbulent as the pair would alternate between hushed arguing and passionate apologies when they weren't caring for their daughter.

Between his work and family, Giovanni Cesare was happy for the respite swimming brought him.

Back in Tartosa, Iseppo grew into a darling little boy who was more than happy to follow his siblings around.

But sadly, in late February, Leonardo Ludovici drifted in from a swim leaving his expectant wife a widow.

Katharine was distraught after losing her son and now her husband but with her unborn child to think of she did her best to push through and on March 5th, she delivered her second son, Luca.

At the Collari household, Salvador became a toddler to the delight of the household especially his mother who had already lost two young children recently.

Luca grew into a sweet baby and Benetta was happy to dote on her little nephew especially since after her wedding in February, she suspected that she too was with child as the months passed.

Camilla became a little toddler as well and while her parent's were no longer around to see her grow up, her extended family was overjoyed to see her growth.

Sadly back at the Bailey home, while Vivienne bonded with Elisabetta, her mother was devastated when July brought with it labor pains and a stillborn son.

As the Bailey household reeled from their loss, Orelia in her crew's encampment, went into labor in early September. On the ninth of the month she delivered a healthy daughter she named Rosa.

Though it didn't take long until Orelia was spending more time with her ship's captain both in and out of his quarters.

As the year drew to a close, Mr.Bailey discussed with Giovanni Cesare that once the original end of Giovanni Cesare's now extended contract was up, his remaining time would be spent at with a different employer so as to add some more separation between the households. Giovanni Cesare was shocked and worried about how Vivienne would react to the news since even 'disowned' she was living a life of relative luxury at her family home but when the contract was up her lifestyle would reflect his and not hers anymore but that was still a ways off.

Little Rosa grew into herself as news of Marcello and his wife welcoming their own daughter spread and young Juliette received the belated news that her brother had also had a daughter that May. Orsetta was happy to close out the year with her cousin being happy at the safe delivery of both of her nieces and her little sister growing up even if she was too young to play with properly.

(The lot that Orelia lives on with her girls is made by @greatbritishsimchallenge)

reblogging this because OUR FAVORITE UNIVERSE AND PEOPLE ARE GOING TO COME BACK in 2025 (10 years later older!

Watch Me, book 1, in the spinoff series Shatter Me: The New Republic is out April 2025!! and our James(not so little anymore!!) is the main character!!

Aaron Warner Anderson BEST QUOTES.

“ At least I’m honest about being a liar.”

“ I am so tired, love. I’m so very, very tired.”

“ You wrote a lot of things. About your parents, your childhood, your experiences with other people. You talked about hope and redemption and what it would be like to see a bird fly by. You wrote about pain. And what it’s like to think you’re a monster. What it was like to be judged by everyone before you’d even spoken two words to them. So much of it was like seeing myself on paper. Like reading all the things I never knew how to say.”

“ And if you insist on continuing to make assumptions about my character, I’ll advise you only this: assume you will always be wrong.”

„ Please, don’t shoot me for this.”

” I want to know how to convince you to design a smile just for me.“

“ I want this up. I want these down.”

” I want to be the friend you fall hopelessly in love with. The one you take into your arms and into your bed and into the private world you keep trapped in your head.“

„ She’s not dying! She is not going to die!”

„ Do you want me to take you back? Do you want me to leave? Tell me what you want. Tell me what to do, and I’ll do it.”

“ There are three things you should know about me, love.. The first is that I hate my father more than you might ever be capable of understanding.. Second, is that I am an unapologetically selfish person, who, in almost every situation, makes decisions based entirely on self- interest. And third.. I never had any intention of using you as a weapon.”

„ It’s the only way I know to exist. In a world where there is so much to grieve and so little good to take? I grieve nothing. I take everything. Ignite, my love. Ignite.”

“ Come back to life, love. I’ll be here when you wake up.”

“ So she told me a story. A story about a boy who was born with very green eyes, and the man who was so captivated by their color that he searched the world for a stone in exactly the same shade. She said the boy was me. That this ring was made from that very same stone, and that the man had given it to her, hoping one day she’d be able to give it to me. It was his gift, she said, for my birthday. And then she took it off, slipped it on my index finger, and said, ‘If you hide your heart, he will never be able to take it from you’.”

“ Lift your hips for me, love.”

“ Idiots are highly flammable, love, let them all burn in hell.”

“ She begged me for mercy and I never gave it to her.”

“ I’m having a panic attack, you inconsiderate ass. And I’d really like some privacy.”

“ At age 12 I was taught to build my own bombs. He began teaching me how to fly planes when I was thirteen. He never did teach me how to ride a bike. I figured that on my own.”

“ And that was all he ever wanted. My soul.”(..) “ I gave up everything for nothing.”

“ I wanted to be better for her. For her happiness. For her future. But if she’s gone, what good is goodness?

” But I’ve never.. No, I never had my own birthday cake.”

“ What do you mean, you love us both?”

“ I have friends nowhere.”

“ I love you, Ella. I will love you for the rest of my life. My heart is yours. Please don’t ever give it back to me. “

“ Kenji said I was supposed to get you a ring.”

“ And her eyes are big and beautiful, blue green. Like the globe, I think. Like the whole world.”

“ Hell, I’ve finally found hell.”

“ Take me, instead. Leave her. Leave them all. Give me your word that you will leave her alone, and I will come back with you. (..)“Give me your word, Your word that you will leave her alone forever. I want you to let her disappear. I want you to stop tracking her every move. I want you to forget she ever existed. In exchange, you can have what’s left of my life. I will stop fighting you, I will do exactly as you ask. Whatever you want. Just let her live.”

“ I want to hurt people all the time. Sometimes I can’t sleep at night because I’m thinking about all the people I’d like to murder.”

“ So you are in there.”

“ Come back.” (..)“You know my name. You’ve always known me, love. I’ve always known you. And I’m so—I’m so desperately in love with you—”

“ The wall is unusually white. More white than is usual. Most people think white walls are true white, but the truth is, they only seem white, and are not actually white. Most shades of white are mixed in with a bit of yellow, which helps soften the harsh edges of a pure white, making it more of an ecru, or ivory.”

“ Perhaps no one else would understand, but I know that this is the first time she’s ever held one. Without hesitation, without fear, without danger of causing an innocent creature any harm.”.

“ To the world, she is formidable. To me? She is the world.”

“ When I hear her laugh, I am happy.”

Happy book birthday to me and Casey Gilley, the wonderful writer of Goth Parenting! --our own bookish baby bat has been released into the wild to be enjoyed by all goth families (and maybe non-goth parents who dabble in darkness)! Heck, pick up a copy just for the on-point music references and cute (if I do say so myself) illustrations! I was inspired by so many friends over the years <3 Out from Chronicle books thanks to Juliette Capra's hard work!

Grab a copy! And come see us at a signing to be announced soon!

[fozmeadows]

hi! sorry if you've already answered this, but i absolutely adore your tithenai chronicles, and was wondering if you had any favorite queer books to recommend/suggestions for what a fan of your work should read next :) before inevitably restarting my strange and stubborn endurance audiobook again <3 thank you!

Ahh, thank you so much! Regarding book recommendations, two of my all-time favourites are The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison (along with the spin-off novella trilogy, The Cemeteries of Amalo, which consists of The Witness for the Dead, The Grief of Stones and the forthcoming The Tomb of Dragons), and The Books of the Raksura series by Martha Wells (which consists of seven books total: a trilogy, two short story anthologies, and then a final duology). However, I'd also like to recommend some works by authors that are less well-known than Addison and Wells, so! In no particular order:

The Bone Universe trilogy (Updraft, Cloudbound and Horizon) by Fran Wilde;

The Broken Trust quadrilogy (Mazes of Power, Transgressions of Power, Inheritors of Power and a still forthcoming title) by Juliette Wade;

The Titan's Forest trilogy (Crossroads of Canopy, Echoes of Understorey and Tides of the Titans) by Thoraiya Dyer; and

The Ascendant trilogy (The Tiger's Daughter, The Phoenix Empress and The Warrior Moon) by K. Arsenault Rivera. Happy reading! :D

๋࣭⭑⚝ hiii i'm sukanya and welcome to my blog yall!!! ‹𝟹

a small reminder; my blog has detailed posts about legendborn with a lot of spoilers for both the books, so if you haven't read the books yet i would advise you to to not look too closely or you will be spoiled. stay spoiler-free everyone!!

age: 18 (doesn't give you permission to be weird) sexuality: bisexual pronouns: she/her favorite colors: red, black, purple favorite flower: roses my hobbies: reading books, listening to music, reading books while listening to music, learning new stuff because of the aforementioned books, obsessing over fictional characters, cooking, dancing, stargazing at night by sneaking out at 3 am because my parents don't allow me to go at night as i will "catch a cold", slaying my enemies in a brutal show of blood and glory, coding.

fandoms i'm part of: the legendborn cycle, percy jackson, shatter me series, artemis fowl series, lord of the rings, the inheritance games, folk of the air series, sea of ink and gold series, six of crows, a good girl's guide to murder, divergent chronicles, the secrets of immortal nicholas flamel series, harry potter series, fantastic beasts and where to find them, twilight, the mysterious benedict society, married to magic series, miss peregrine's home for peculiar children, the gilded wolves series, royal secrets series, royal secrets series, the splintered series and more

fictional characters i would sell my soul to at a discount the discount being free because i would never make them pay: briana matthews, selwyn emyrs kane, alice chen, juliette ferrars, aaron warner, nazeera ibrahim, kenji kishimoto, jude duarte, cardan greenbriar, inej ghafa, kaz brekker, avery kylie grambs, alexander hawthorne, jest, artemis fowl, holly black, hermione granger, ginny weasley, credric diggory, newt scamander, rosalie cullen, noor pradesh, jacob portman, josh newman, sophie newman, pip fitz-amobi, ravi singh and probably more but you get the point

things i absolutely adore: people becoming so excited when they talk about their favorite things, loving the absolute shit outta my friends, cooking anything and everything for those i love, listening to our shared playlist and explaining in great detail which part of the song is your favorite things i absolutely hate: anyone's opinions that disrespect someone's existence, identity, or interests, people forcing their beliefs and ideals over me, sexist and homophobic jokes in the name of "dark humor", people shitting on my fav book series after they dropped them halfway through, people who listen to jojo siwa

this is a blog for the legendborn cycle, i hope you enjoy your stay here!! i usually post theories or headcanons about the characters, and a few case studies too, all in all you will find a lot of posts about legendborn so here's a masterlist more for my preference than anyone else which i will keep updating time to time;

random facts about myself because this is my blog anyways: ♡ when i was 8 my pinky finger was unfortunately cut a third, like the tip of it yk, by a door that slammed really fast because of a storm at that time, and my cut off finger was joined by inserting a rod in it. the rod is taken out but now i have a funny pinky finger that does not bend. ♡ i am multilingual, aka i can speak marathi, hindi, english, spanish (i cant get the accent right but rest is okay) and korean (beginner level, just enough that i can understand kdramas mostly without subtitles). ♡ i have a fear of heights despite that i am unusually interested in roller coasters and bungee jumping, however my parents refuse to take me to any of these because i will "fall". ♡ my mother is scared shitless of water, so i once made a joke of how i would love to drown in the ocean and was immediately enrolled in a swimming class and that is how my dreams of dying among the phytoplankton and starfishes were destroyed. ♡ i love all types of fruits but banana tastes boring to me now and i also do not like watermelon for some reason. mango, kiwis, muskmelon, apples, oranges, and pineapple are my absolute fav. ♡ i used to have waist-length hair, very wavy and very thick, it was gorgeous but i hated having to maintain that so i cut it off and got a boycut. after that it has grown to a small dora the explorer length hair and it makes me look really innocent so i like this look.

and ofc you cant forget the lovely moots: @napoftustar @thejudeduarte @you-are-my-king-now-cariad @isthataraccoon @technicallyeldritch @ackerbabezzz @batzswrld @archerons-elain @ficnoire2 @sweetestblacktea @bloodmaarked @okeyisenough @thevoidhasarrived @goosemeggs @gewoonaardig2 @massiveladycat @infamouslyclumsy @literally-mariah @simzmil @tum-naam-sochlo-merese-ni-hora @refreshinglyemodemons @sweetdeerart

[weclassybouquetfun]

In 2021 the limited series on the career of designer Halston (Roy Halston Frowick, portrayed by Ewan McGregor) waltzed down Netflix's catwalk. Now we have at least three series chronicling the lives and careers of designers.

Currently on Disney+ in Europe is the exquisite CRISTÓBAL BALENCIAGA centering on, guess who? Spanish designer Cristobal Balenciaga, starring Alberto San Juan (Reyes De La Noche) as Balenciaga.

It's an interesting story about this enigmatic fashion genius that shows his steadfastness in his devotion to fashion to the sacrifice, some may say, of ethics due to the fact that while other fashion houses were shut down during Germany's occupation of some parts of France, he readily made clothes for the significant others of German soldiers.

The series also shines a light on Balenciaga's relationship with his creative partner and love-of-his-life Wladzio d'Attainville (played by Thomas Coumans).

Among the designers who appear or are name-checked in CRISTÓBAL BALENCIAGA is Christian Dior and Coco Chanel. These two fashion legends will appear in AppleTV+'s upcoming mini-series THE NEW LOOK with Ben Mendelsohn as Dior and Juliette Binoche as Coco Chanel and takes place during Germany's occupation of France.

THE NEW LOOK will feature covers of classics by Florence + and The Machine, Lana del Rey, The 1975, Perfume Genius and more.

Sometimes this year (at least I hope this year) will be KAISER KARL (apparently the title may be changed) starring Daniel Brühl as Kunty Karl Lagerfeld

centering on him as a 38-year old trying to break into the Parisian world of high fashion where he finds himself in competition with he finds himself in competition with French fashion giants like Yves Saint Laurent.

The only Yves Saint Laurent depiction worth a damn. RIP beautiful Gaspard Ulliel 

What is fashion if there's no one to wear it? For example, the high society ladies that will be depicted in the upcoming installment of FX's FEUD: CAPOTE VS. THE SWANS.

Hopefully this series will do justice to the mythos behind writer Truman Capote's nuclear fall out with the so-called Swans - a moniker Capote gave the socialites whose company he kept and whose secrets he didn't.

Playing Capote is Tom Hollander

Naomi Watts as Babe Paley, wife of CBS founder William S. Paley (which the annual PaleyFest is named after), Diane Lane as Slim Keith, ex-wife of famed director Howard Hawks, producer Leland Hayward amongst others; Calista Flockhart as Lee Radziwill, sister of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Demi Moore Ann Woodward who got her place in society by being the wife of a banking heir,

Demi, that looks like a flamingo, not a swan.

Chloe Sevigny as Andy Warhol and Salvador Dali muse C.Z. Guest, Molly Ringwald as JoAnne Carson, ex-wife of late-night talk show host Johnny Carson and the only Swan who remained friends with Capote after his ouster from their social circle.

Year 1683

TW/CW: Death, Child Death

January passed with not much to note for the family but sadly that didn't last into February where Antonio and Sarah's youngest son passed on the third of the month. The family tried not to let their sorrow overshadow their youngest's sixth birthday though.

Then March came and Orelia's daughters grew into themselves with Rosa finally being big enough to chase after her older sister and cousin and little Livia grew into looking like her father.

With her older girls being more independent and the younger two old enough to play with their cousin, Elisabetta, Orelia and her young ones would frequent the servant's quarters of the Bailey home to meet up as family.

In Tartosa, May rolled around and on the 25th, Katharine delivered her and Giuliano's daughter, Leandra.

With a more significant age gap between the children and Giulia's help none of the children went without attention for too long.

A month later on June 20th, Vivienne went into labor and safely delivered a third daughter who was thankfully healthy. Despite her parent's fears of jealousy, Elisabetta loved her new baby sister Paola straightaway.

Marina celebrated her thirteenth birthday with her family but with her new stage of life, Alessandra decided that it was time to move on and now that both she and her extramarital lover had been widowed from the famine years back, Alessandra began wedding planning.

Leandra grew into a darling girl to the joy of her parent's who were both all too familiar with the pain of losing a child and both were happy to see her grow.

Vivienne did her best to try and bond with her sister-in-law but they had very different views on the world and more often the only thing they could relate with each other was about their daughters.

Paola grew into a cautious little girl as she grew though it was abundantly clear she favored her mother in looks even as young as she was but she was always happy to spend what little time Giovanni Cesare had to offer with him between his work but she was content with being in her mother's arms as well.

In the crew's encampment, Juliette celebrated her thirteenth birthday with her aunts, uncles, and cousins. Maybe it was her upbringing with her father's family but she had a taste for the finer things in life and Orelia wondered if her life on the seas could give her niece the life she would want or now that her niece's half-brother was more established in their household, Juliette should go back to her paternal side but with the younger girls too small to travel and Juliette being barely thirteen that line of thinking could wait.

October came and it was the night of a full moon when the howls that Giovanni Cesare heard seemed to get closer and closer. Normally he was busy at work or giving his wife the night off to spend with her brother during the moon not that he kept track of it but the howls made it stand out. The young children were with him in the servant's quarters and the noises scared them when the door burst open and a beast broke into the room with him and the children. It didn't matter that he could get caught using magic when his children were in danger so he used his magic to catch the rampaging beast's fur alight. But when the beast went back to its human form as it died... the beast was Vivienne.

Giovanni Cesare barely had the time to mourn the loss of his wife when her mother came yelling at him for the murder of her daughter though nothing could really be done to him officially since her family were beasts and being caught would put the rest of the family in danger so all she could do was yell. But to get him out of the house, the Bailey family made a premature match for Jeremiah with a dependent from another wealthy family so Jeremiah was wed within a week of his sister's funeral and Giovanni Cesare was to take his girls to the new family after moving the young lady into the Bailey home.

The new family turned out to be a young couple, the Carlisles, who moved to the islands around the time Giovanni Cesare did. The patriarch of the family, Jaxsen, explained that he was married to a widow with three children and they moved to the colonies at first but when the youngest of his first wife passed to smallpox they decided to start anew in the islands but his wife didn't survive the journey which is why he had two dependents since he couldn't bear to separate the siblings but when the opportunity came to make a match with an already established family in town for the girl, well he couldn't pass it up. Jaxsen had remarried shortly after arriving to his new wife, a local named Nesta, and their daughter was a little younger than Elisabetta and they were expecting their second. Giovanni Cesare was glad that his new employers were friendly though he supposed that being new to wealth was a factor since the young man had grown up on a farm plot not unlike the one Giovanni Cesare did.

Elisabetta and the Carlisle girl, Kathy, very quickly got along despite Elisabetta's shy nature.

News came that Alessandra remarried in December back in Tartosa but the Carlisle home had little care for events so far away between the girls and Giovanni Cesare's work but time was easing up on the grief felt by the loss of his wife and the guilt that came with the manner of her death as the year came to a close.

(Nesta is a sim I found off the gallery who married into the family, her original name was Nesta Calypso from the ID: Izusibizu)

Juliette has a gun - Ode to Dullness

ew

Pungent and nauseating. Smells like a cheap and bad motel tried to spray chemical floral dollar store air freshener to cover the smell of their dusty old carpet.

[embersofhope-if]
