I might be a day late to the party, but something good? Iā€™m literally on a superyacht in Greece for the week.
My dear bougie Bunny, you āœØneedāœØ to do this at least once. Weā€™ve got a chef and a deckhand who is a boxer in the off season (and heā€™s easy on the eyes) and a stewardess catering to our every need and an amazing captain.
Itā€™s pretty freaking sweet, and hey, no murders on this superyacht, so yay.
I did pack and wear my bikini covered in Satoru manga panels šŸ«”
Omg hi Iā€™m OBSESSED Mrs. Satoru Gojo. A Satoru bikini??! That is the hottest thing Iā€™ve ever heard.
Given that weā€™re soul mates, you bet Iā€™ve done the yachting in Santorini and is literally a fucking DREAM. Not to mention that EVERYONE in Greece is insanely hot. Literally sculpted from the Gods.
The inspiration for Poseidon Geto, literally comes from a fisherman I saw spearing fish in the sea next to the outdoor seafood restaurant I was getting blasted in.
Please make your way to Paros and Mykonos šŸ’•šŸ«¶šŸ¾

If it is the Nobu Malibu from when he was there at Easter which would be round the time Chris started wearing glasses it could very easily be the Nobu owner - Nobu Matsuhisa in the picture,especially as he lives in LA.
Well, I wasn't around when the pic was matched with Simon Barry. I have been updated about the gossip that went on in the month of May by my friends so Don't know much what was the discussion and why people concluded it was Simon Barry. I think the consesus was reached because the shape of the head matched Simon Barry's.
I am not saying it can't be Nobu in the pic. We can discuss it again on my blog.
Let's take a look at the PT pic again
Tumblr media
And here are some photos of Nobu

There is a big chance, it could be Nobu. The shape of the head matches pretty much with him too.

re: your post about muses' grief/loss/nostalgia. delirium grieves delight, even though she doesn't really understand why. she knows that she was different, and that people liked her more back then, and maybe sometimes she tries to emulate delight, but it always comes out wrong. idk if she dreams exactly, but she definitely gets lost in her head and her daydreams about what she used to be so. kind of counts.
persephone feels a profound sense of loss, too, though she can't quite place it. i think it's a sense of belonging - when she's above, she dreams of quiet and cold, a sort of comforting, safe claustrophobia. when she's in the underworld, she dreams of an endless open sky, and vivid colour, and the feeling of a warm summer rain. no matter where she is, she is always dreaming of the other place, and she often wakes up dissatisfied.
i don't think you're familiar w jean moreau but he doesn't really remember where he grew up (marseille), nor his parents, except to know that they weren't good people. that doesn't stop him dreaming of belonging and a better time, and sunshine glinting off the wide, blue sea. big nostalgia vibes.
kieren walker! god where to start. for one, he grieves rick (both times). i think he dreams about him from their lives before either of them died, and what could have been. obviously he's very happy with simon and loves him to pieces, but he definitely has dreams about what his life might have been with rick (and he always wakes up angry that it was taken from them. twice.). obviously he often has nightmares about corinthian 1, and he's angry about everything there. sometimes he dreams about what his relationship with jem used to be like, how they were so close and how his death/rising took that from them - but that's nostalgic and hopeful because season 2/post-canon they're working on it and he knows that things are getting better. same with his parents (and he knows they feel awful guilt about the circumstances of his death, how they didn't know he'd been murdered for days and just assumed that he'd gone off on a bender with rick). kieren's dreams are much more nostalgic than he is when he's awake - when he's awake, he knows that things are getting better every day with his family.
uhhh anyway there's probably others but ttfn
firstly fuckin bless you. you understood the assignment. you get a GOLD STAR. i'm gonna split my responses up per character to keep things readable LET'S GOOOO
Delirium: YEAH!!! Mourning a past sense of self is [chef kiss] - I think Johnny actually has something similar to that in that likeā€¦ He knows he isn't the original Johnny; he looks a lot like them, functions in a similar way, has--to his understanding--the same sort of personality with a more humanized slant from his time in the Wakingā€¦ but he doesn't have the first Johnny's memories, and wouldn't know how to begin 'being' him. If anyone could do it, it'd be Graves, but Graves isā€¦ well. A nightmare, for one thing, and not interested in trying to be their old self again, for another.
I don't imagine Johnny can visit Delirium as a /dream/, but I think that if he was around her in person then, like Graves, he can sort of 'feel' when people's sense of loss 'aligns' with his intended purpose, if that makes any senseā€¦ Both he and Mykonos would be drawn to Delirium for that reason (but ESPECIALLY Mykonos, whose purpose often revolves around calling people back to the past--or past selves--they long for).
Persephone: First of all CHEF KISS because this makes perfect sense for Persephone and I'm thriving on it actually. I think the Cassidies would be drawn to her just on a personal level, though I can't fully articulate why (fun fact as a sidenote, just to give you an idea of what they're like: one of the Cassidies reminds me a lot of Sila, though they're much softer - more like Sila when he's at his most loved and comfortable and feels safe being soft, if that makes any sense; the other is a little more of a performer, puts more of a charming front up, probably because the actual real-life Cassidy WAS a performer and her death is why those two exist--ANYWAY).
For dreams though, I imagine Graves and Mykonos would be drawn to her, possibly working in unison; nightmare to dream, dream to nightmare, an endless cycle where it's never quite clear which part is dream and which is nightmare. Mykonos is HUGE on nostalgia and the feeling that things were better in the past (or better somewhere else); Graves likes to dig up those deep, unpleasant feelings of 'something was taken from me/there's something I want back' and [gestures]
Jean: I am not familiar with him! HOWEVER I already fuckin KNOW Graves and Mykonos would once again be drawn to him for similar reasons to Persephone. Maybe the Cassidies too actually, I can see them giving him really vivid natural landscapes + other beautiful, nostalgic scenes in his dreams (and music, too, always music).
Kieren: YESSSSSS. This is so tasty, ESPECIALLY the way his dreams are more nostalgic/called back to the past than he is in his Waking life. You KNOW Graves is coming for that poor guy: nightmares about his own death and more importantly his Rising, the things he did as a consequence of it, the things other people did; Rick, of course, and both of his deaths, and the loss of what could have been. Johnny and Mykonos I think would also visit him; the nostalgia is all Mykonos ofc, but I think dreams about repairing his relationships with Jem and his family are something Johnny can work with too (even on just a personal interest level, which he isn't really meant to do but likeā€¦. shhhh).
Also Johnny in particular would feel IMMENSE sympathy for Kieren's SHITTY LIFE holy fuck. Graves doesn't really feel sympathy for him but he can acknowledge that it's fucked up (not gonna stop him from doing his job though, sorry).

Mykonos, Greece: Sightseeing in Chora, June 11, 202
by David L. Brooks
Sightseeing in Chora
Tumblr media
From the Mykonos Airport, itā€™s basically a straight shot to reach the environs of Chora, the old town proper. Some attempt has been made to limit automobile traffic, but there always seems a few intrepid locals who can manage to pull their cars or beat-up lorries through the narrower streets. Nevertheless, it was delightful to see where actual, although highly touristy, businesses and residences thrived. Remember my stay earlier in the week has all occurred in a rural almost pastoral setting, although rocky terrain and white-coated county homes are the norm where Iā€™ve been staying.
Tumblr media
My initial target for official sightseeing was to visit the array of old Greek windmills arrayed on a cliff face overlooking the ocean.Ā  Sure enough, it is a popular sightseeing spot for a lot of the islandā€™s visitors.Ā  Currently, the grounds of the Windmills of Mykonos is undergoing some cosmetic redecorating and refurbishment. Even on a Sunday morning, there were a few workman busy making repairs to a stone walkway.Ā  There are 6 to 8 smaller windmills standing in a solitary row, rather like a Pygmy-like bulwark against the Winds of Change.Ā  Tourists were not able to enter inside a windmill, at least that was true for the ones I inspected
Tumblr media
Heading around the Old Port
Descending the hill upon which stood the battle-ready troupe of windmills, I entered the Old City proper.Ā  Stopping by a womenswear boutique shop that looked inviting, I was soon to understand that prices for almost anything was going to be twice (at least) of what youā€™d pay in Spain. So I realize that I neednā€™t spend time even looking since getting something for my wife or granddaughters here was a true waste of hard earned money. So I continued on my way toward my next destination: the Archaeological Museum of Mykonos. After climbing the narrow streets above the Museum, I had detoured and gone well past it as it was supposedly located at the far end of the almost circular bay around which the Old City had flourished. Upon descending and returning back toward the harbor, to my disappointment, i discovered that the Archaeological Museum of Mykonos was closed for repairs.Ā  Tant pis! However, all is not lost because it was now well passed my usual lunchtime, and after descending a short flight of stone stairs, I was back on the semi-circular boardwalk and at the home of my soon-to-become next destination, Kavos Taverna,
Sunday, June 11 around 12 pm
Where I had lunch in Chora:Ā 
Tumblr media
Kavos Taverna is a busy port-side outdoor restaurant, specializing in Greek seafood cuisine and located right at far northern end of the Old Port of Chora on the island of Mykonos.
Evidently, the restaurant has been run by three generations of Kavos (assumed family name) on this very spot, right on the old harbor of Chora, the biggest town on the island of Mykonos.Ā  The restaurant has a splendid seaside location, with ā€˜coastalā€™ tables barely a meter above the ocean water and stretching a length of 80 meters. The chef dā€™Å“uvre for this restaurant is Seafood with a capital S:Ā  from the lowly platter of grilled sardines, which is what I ordered along with spanakopita, a Greek savory spinach pie that is typically also stuffed with feta cheese,Ā  to a half-meter wide platter of various seafood regulars, and whole grilled fish and lobsters, all generously served with fries and a dash of greenery.Ā  My meal was quite good, and I was glad I had ordered sliced Greek bread and bottled water to round out the meal of grilled sardines (small-sized) and the generous helping of spanakopita. The waiter who took my order did a double take when I mentioned the sliced bread immediately after ordering the spinach pie. So much so that he actually confirmed that I really wanted the bread.
Tumblr media
The wait staff was very helpful and attentive, many were quite multilingual. But like all good eateries worldwide, ā€˜your mouth is where the money goesā€™ ā€”meaning the larger table or better-paying customers tend to get the majority of the multiple tiered staffsā€™ attentions. After taking my order, I was not spoken to again by the wait staff until I was aggressive enough to call over the dining host, a younger man who spoke English quite adequately, to answer a question that came both out of my curiosity and as my employee management strategy.Ā  When he did answer my question, I mentioned that I was ready to pay the check. What I suspect was that I had not behaved in a ā€˜finished customerā€™ way in order for the regular wait staff to recognize that I was ready to pay up and go.Ā  Predominately, the reason was that I had not partaken in the almost ā€˜du rigueurā€˜ tiny cup of ā€˜mastikaā€™,Ā  a sweet liqueur produced with the mastika resin. Of course, I might be just a little too forgiving (undemanding) and the waiters may have not even noticed my having finished my simple but delicious meal.Ā  But there was nothing left but a small of neatly piled sardine backbones. Maybe they thought I was an epicurean or perhaps just a famished traveler. Iā€™m sure theyā€™ve seen all kinds of patrons. Lucky for me, the cost was quite reasonable.
