Panic.

Anxiety, panic, and concern.

They’ve disappeared, all four of them.

She can’t detect or find them. Where are they? What happened? Who did this?

All questions and more Iris needed answered. Immediately.

Iris Mercer: Character Inspirations

"Thank you, thank you. I have had many times to perfect the craft." Lu Ten bowed his head. "Prepare to make this even better then. Because of the apple element, we have fruit infused pastry custard cups that could work well." He shows her. "If you are looking for something a little heavier than the smaller custard cups, we have a slice of chocolate mint cake."

IRIS LIKED A story - particularly when it justified the ending, and already she most anticipated the teas that might await her at the end of his telling. She leaned forward, her eyes alight to demonstrate she was listening. 'Tea pairs well with story-telling, so speak,' she uttered. As he did so, a smile rose across her face at his words - a perfectly tantalising selection, so she thought. Especially the homemade blends part, it sounded so lovely to dig back down to the roots of a craft, rather than pumped out consumption. 'I must admit you describe this week's special quite enticingly - I have been unable to shake off the cold this winter, but that might at least provide a comfort to it...and if you would recommend any dessert pairings, even better.' .

Ultimately, I believe ace attorney is a tale about love. How far are you willing to go for the people you love? But also, how far are you going to fall for them? Most of this love is platonic, not even romantic in nature / could or could not be seen as such, but really the crux of the matter is that regardless, it all stems from a place of deep affection and/or adoration. Phoenix both became a better person but sacrificed and risked so much because of love, even compromising his integrity and morality at some point. First love for his lost friend, then love for a girl who made him feel adored, then love for his lost mentor and her sister which he couldn't leave alone, then love for a child he needed to provide for. Miles completely and utterly destroyed himself but later glued back the pieces together in order to become better because he felt guilty for his beloved father's death, and later felt guilty for disgracing his legacy. But also his love for his friends and family gave him courage to make himself better. He charters private jets at the drop of an hat and surrenders his badge and breaks the law if need be. Franziska's love for her father made her ruthless and amoral, but her love for her little brother made her a better person. She assists in his and Phoenix's absurd plan to play at defense attorney, helps save Maya, then assists Miles in his cause for Kay. Lana's love for her sister made her throw her morals out the window, ruining the life of many people. But her love for her little sister also made her realize her mistakes and atone for them. Iris loved her sister despite it all and that corrupted her into betrayal, but she also loved Phoenix, and that gave her the courage to realize her mistakes and atone for them. Love is the reason for most plot points - it leads the storyline. It can cause both positive and negative outcomes and I really appreciate the realism in that. The characters truly care for each other, there's just so much love in AA.

ACE ATTORNEY FAN SPOTTED ON BABY NAME FORUMS LMAO

"Oh it was quite the battle. Sure I had the advantage, but Iris put up quite the fight. Thought she ended up losing the battle, but we had fun afterwards," Hilda laughed and looked around at all the girls in the orgy. She was still thinking who to pick.

"I wish Nessa, and Bea were here. This place is such fun," Rosa replied as she bent May over to fuck the other from behind. Her only real line to their "movie" Only story they had. Even taking a look at Roxie and Iris. Roxie only laughed as she pinned Iris to the wall. Using a toy on the other's pussy. "Hey Bianca, enjoy fucking my girlfriend's pussy. I got no issue with you fucking her. Thought when I'm down with Iris, I want a round with her," Roxie turned to look at Bianca and Skyla. Again it was Roxie playing a role. Bianca nodded and started to strip Skyla of her bikini.

"Hey Skyla, happy Valentine's day. Think we can plan some fun for it? I know Roxie is up for it," Rosa gave Skyla a smile, and then held out a box of candy

"Thanks for the treat, Rosa!" Skyla took the box of candy, then leaned in and kissed Rosa on the lips. "I'm done for whatever kind of fun that you and Roxie have in mind!"

What would they have wanted me to be?

Never lonely.

The tragically poetic irony of this line to lock into Emmrich's romance is perhaps lost on him. I'm not sure he ever really thought further into the implications of what lichdom well and truly means in this aspect. Does Rook? Is that why they chose this line because it's heartbreaking. This morning I was thinking about what this line might imply in relation to our favorite gentleman necromancer's ultimate ambitions.

Never lonely.

Putting aside the whole decision to revive Manfred or have Emmrich become a lich (because how could any of them have known it would come down to this), this is what he has been pursuing, his ultimate goal for years--carefully calculated, researched with complete footnotes, every "i" dotted with every "t" crossed. But what does this mean for him and his eternal soul? In lichdom he might shed his skin, but at the heart of him, his soul--the thing which makes Emmrich who he is--is still intact. The decision is shortsighted, and in his immense fear of death, there was no way for him to see past to the real horror which would emerge. How could he have foreseen it?

Vorgoth, the other liches, and a constant influx of new Watchers, students, all flow by him fleetingly despite the fact that they are always there. He is never alone at least physically. Information and mysteries, curiosities and research unravel before him. Isn't this what he wanted? How could he ever tire of this? And he doesn't.

While he has changed in form to shed his mortal ties, he is still the man he always was underneath: sensitive and of grand emotion who feels deeply. For so long he had yearned for somebody to love and for them to love him unconditionally in return.

It is not the same without Rook by his side for how can one truly connect themselves to lives which burn out like matchsticks? How could he let them when all that he is is glittering gold and polished bone, hollow and cold? How can he share what he feels with the seemingly unmovable faces of his colleagues in lichdom? They do not understand him. They think him idealistic and naïve.

"This is what you gave up, young Volkarin. In another century, you won't have these worries at all."

Another century alone? How--

How can he bear it? How can any of them?

The only way for Rook to fulfill this commitment would be to join him in undeath, and that is only if they are a fellow Watcher and if they hold the same ambitions as he.

Very excited for this! It didn't quite click for me that I have this tablet yet but it will eventually! My brush is behaving so nicely on it I'm so happy!!

This was an early bday gift from my brother. I've been glued to testing it out (once I troubleshooted some stuff regarding my old pc plugs :'D) and did this one as a test for both sketching and lining. Have yet to test the color rendering but the brushes feel so nice, that's what got me genuinely excited for this tablet!

Original before adding gradient color overlays

The tablet is Huion Kamvas pro 13 (the recent one, so it plugs in with only the C cable on it)

[pudgy-planets]

I spent the last several minutes attempting to come up with something for her.

But Iris. Doctor. Evil doctor even. Likes children, hates people, doesn’t wanna see them suffer like she did.

Made cyborgs to grant those unfortunate souls who were robbed of their choice and hates modern pharmaceuticals and psychiatry.

She did not take the Hippocratic oath. She knew damn well she would never abide by it. Why break a promise you know you can’t keep?

But it’s because she acts outside of the bounds of morality, that’s she is capable of her feats. No matter what, she refuses to allow the cybernetic process to be sold or distributed to greedy corporations who would charge exorbitant amounts simply to save innocent people on the brink of death.

You know how much it costs Irish to save a life? After Xenon, zero.

Extracting cells and cloning organs is not an expensive process. At least with how she does it. She has patented her methods and they cannot be replicated with the tech most institutions have.

Why would she withhold such important advancements from the greater medical world? Because fuck them. One way or another, it would fall under control of the medical industry and they would abuse it to make a profit.

While humans are not born greedy, they can be changed by it.

Skyla and Elesa both nodded along to answer the question. The only other girl they had been told was Iris,who Bianca already reached and was already on her way to the shoot.

"so you're the beauty that Serena was talking about earlier. Your swimsuit is cute, but who knows how long you'll be wearing it for. We tend to lose clothes quick in Rosa's adult films," Roxie walked up, and gave Shauna a smile. "This is gonna be a adult film? Like we're going to be having sex. Wasn't expecting that," Shauna was surprised by that, and the thoughts ran through her mind. "Well we'll have a good memory I think,"

Open Starter (Female Only)

In a quiet section of Undella town's beach, away from praying eyes, Rosa happily relaxed with several other pokegirls, Roxie, Whitney, Bianca, and others. "Alright, everyone ready for the shoot?" Rosa called out to the others. Having picked this spot for one reason. It was perfect as a nude beach spot and filming for Pokestar's newest XXX film. Beach Beauty Bash. Various girls having a orgy on the beach.

THE FLASH 5.05 "All Doll'd Up"

[girlsdressingrooms]

Iris Barrel Apfel, Decorator and Fashion Stylist

(August 29, 1921 – March 1, 2024) 

Ms. Apfel was one of the most vivacious personalities in the worlds of fashion, textiles, and interior design, she has cultivated a personal style that is both witty and exuberantly idiosyncratic.

Her originality was typically revealed in her mixing of high and low fashions—Dior haute couture with flea market finds, nineteenth-century ecclesiastical vestments with Dolce & Gabbana lizard trousers.

With remarkable panache and discernment, she combines colors, textures, and patterns without regard to period, provenance, and, ultimately, aesthetic conventions. Paradoxically, her richly layered combinations—even at their most extreme and baroque—project a boldly graphic modernity.

Iris Barrel was born on Aug. 29, 1921, in Astoria, Queens, the only child of Samuel Barrel, who owned a glass and mirror business, and his Russian-born wife, Sadye, who owned a fashion boutique.

She studied art history at New York University, then qualified to teach and did so briefly in Wisconsin before fleeing back to New York to work on Women's Wear Daily, and for interior designer Elinor Johnson, decorating apartments for resale and honing her talent for sourcing rare items before opening her own design firm. She was also an assistant to illustrator Robert Goodman.

As a distinguished collector and authority on antique fabrics, Iris Apfel has consulted on numerous restoration projects that include work at the White House that spanned nine presidencies from Harry Truman to Bill Clinton.

Along with her husband, Carl, she founded Old World Weavers, an international textile manufacturing company and ran it until they retired in 1992. The Apfels specialized in the reproduction of fabrics from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, and traveled to Europe twice a year in search of textiles they could not source in the United States.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute assembled 82 ensembles and 300 accessories from her personal collection in 2005 in a show about her called “Rara Avis”.

Almost overnight, Ms. Apfel became an international celebrity of pop fashion.

Ms. Apfel was seen in a television commercial for the French car DS 3, became the face of the Australian fashion brand Blue Illusion, and began a collaboration with the start-up WiseWear. A year later, Mattel created a one-of-a-kind Barbie doll in her image. Last year, she appeared in a beauty campaign for makeup with Ciaté London.

Six years after the Met show she started her fashion line "Rara Avis" with the Home Shopping Network.

She was cover girl of Dazed and Confused, among many other publications, window display artist at Bergdorf Goodman, designer and design consultant, then signed to IMG in 2019 as a model at age 97.

Ms. Iris Apfel became a visiting professor at the University of Texas at Austin in its Division of Textiles and Apparel, teaching about imagination, craft and tangible pleasures in a world of images.

 In 2018, she published “Iris Apfel: Accidental Icon,” an autobiographical collection of musings, anecdotes and observations on life and style. 

Ms. Apfel’s apartments in New York and Palm Beach were full of furnishings and tchotchkes that might have come from a Luis Buñuel film: porcelain cats, plush toys, statuary, ornate vases, gilt mirrors, fake fruit, stuffed parrots, paintings by Velázquez and Jean-Baptiste Greuze, a mannequin on an ostrich.

The Museum of Lifestyle & Fashion History in Boynton Beach, Florida, is designing a building that will house a dedicated gallery of Ms. Apfel's clothes, accessories, and furnishings.

Ms. Apfel’s work had a universal quality, It’s was a trend.

Rest in Power !
