Shinto ceremonies at Sui gusuku?
I was shocked when I saw this image on the official Shurijo Castle Park Instagram account this past May 25-26. Shinto priests performing a fully Japanese – not Okinawan, or Luchuan (Ryukyuan) – Shinto ceremony at the construction site where the Main Hall of Sui gusuku, the former royal palace of the Lūchū (J: Ryūkyū) Kingdom, known as Shurijō in Japanese, is currently being rebuilt following a…

We are all lonely. I sometimes think that that is all that life is. We're just fighting not to be alone.

Ikemen Prince Real Life Castles
Hi babes! I'm feeling like adding yet another layer of delusion to our already delulu brains, so here’s my take on what IkePrince castles would look like in real life. This way, you can visit them while pretending to be Belle running down the hallways looking for your beloved prince.
Rhodolite
The Rhodolite castle would be grand and ornate, with French Renaissance and Baroque influences. Expect elegant stonework, elaborate gardens with fountains, and decorative elements like balustrades and statues. The interior would feature intricate tapestries, gold accents, and chandeliers, exuding an air of refined nobility and romance.
Some examples could be:
Château de Chambord - France
Palace of Versailles - France
Château de Chantilly - France
Château de Chenonceau - France
Schönbrunn Palace - Austria
Dunrobin Castle - United Kingdom
Lednice na Moravě - Czechia
Château de Ussé - France

Obsidian
The Obsidian castle would have a stern, gothic architecture with imposing towers and stone walls. Think of dark, medieval castles with fortified structures, high walls, and sharp angles. Interiors would be minimalistic and austere, emphasizing function over ornamentation but with a touch of grandeur in public spaces.
Some examples could be:
Hohenzollern Castle - Germany
Edinburgh Castle - Scotland
Moszna Castle - Poland
Burg Eltz - Germany
Garibaldi Castle - Russia
Château du Bousquet - France
Inveraray Castle - United Kingdom
Cologne Cathedral - Germany

Benitoite
The Benitoite castle would be built with Italian Renaissance and Mediterranean styles in mind. Expect warm-toned stone, arches, and decorative columns. Courtyards would be lush, with fountains and intricate tile work. Interiors might have frescoes, marbled halls, and large windows to let in light, creating a grand yet inviting atmosphere.
Some examples could be:
Palazzo Ducale - Italy
Belvedere Palace - Austria
Howard Castle - United Kingdom
Catherine Palace - Russia
Palazzo Pitti - Italy
Miramare Castle - Italy
Swallow’s Nest Castle - Ukraine
The Royal Palace - Spain

Jade
The Jade castle would be charming, integrated with its natural surroundings. Built in a style that’s less imposing and more in harmony with nature, it would be surrounded by gardens and water features. Think of understated beauty, with an emphasis on wooden accents, greenhouses, and large windows overlooking gardens and the forest.
Some examples could be:
Stoke Rochford Hall Leisure Club - United Kingdom
Harlaxton Manor - United Kingdom
Knebworth House - United Kingdom
Castle de Haar - The Netherlands
Château de Villandry - France
Lowenburg Castle - Germany
Brissac Castle - France
Vouzeron Castle - France

Tanzanite
The Tanzanite castle would be exotic and filled with intricate details, such as domed roofs, archways, and extensive mosaics. The castle would feature courtyards with fountains, lush gardens, and reflective pools, creating a tranquil and mystic vibe. Interiors would be lavish, with patterned tile work, vibrant colors, and plush furnishings.
Some examples could be:
La Sagrada Familia - Spain
Alhambra - Spain
Golestan Palace - Iran
Ali Qapu Palace - Iran
Topkapi Palace - Turkey
Alcázar de Sevilla - Spain
Taj Mahal - India
Shrine of Hazrat Ali - Irak

Kogyoku
The Kogyoku castle would have traditional Japanese architecture, with wooden structures, curved tiled roofs, and wide, open spaces for viewing nature. The castle would be surrounded by gardens with koi ponds and sakura trees. Interiors would feature shoji screens, tatami mats, and simple but elegant furnishings.
Some examples could be:
Himeji Castle - Japan
Matsumoto Castle - Japan
Shuri Castle - Japan
Nijo Castle - Japan
Osaka Castle - Japan
Katsuyama Castle - Japan
Nagoya Castle - Japan
Kinkakuji Castle - Japan

Achroite
The Achroite castle would be a blend of Scandinavian minimalism and rugged fortification, built with stone and wood. It would sit atop a hill or near a lake, with a natural and slightly harsh look. The design would be simple, with a focus on functionality and integration with the landscape, including large fireplaces and wood-paneled rooms for warmth.
Some examples could be:
Neuschwanstein Castle - Germany
Château de Ferreries - France
Château de Boismorand - France
Château de Vigny - France
Château d'Haroué - France
Hallgrimskrikja Cathedral - Iceland
Bojnice Castle - Slovakia
Pierrefonds Castle - France

And that’s everything for now! I’m planning to continue this exploration with possible traditional dances, music, customs, fashion, food, and festivities each kingdom might have. What do you think? What would you like to explore next?
See you on the next post my dears!!!!! XOXO

Proposta - Part 1
Shuri Udaku x Princess!Reader
The sun had just risen in the sky of the Baku Empire. The capital of the African country was bathed in the yellow and blue sky. The chambers of the princess of Baku were empty, the heir to the throne was, as always, beginning her tasks for the day. The first being the training room, to perfect your fighting skills with your general,Enek. Meanwhile, his mother waited on her throne for a visit that could change the course of Baku forever.
The Queen of Baku was sitting gracefully in her throne room, the breakfast table set with various foods for not only the Queen, but her children. Anela enjoyed her corn cake, while Aki drank her morning juice. The queen faces her youngest daughter and her middle son, the presence of her eldest heiress being missed.
“Where is Y/n?” The woman's voice breaks the calm silence of the morning.
“Training, Your Highness…” His faithful advisor, Nali, responds.
“How does this girl think about training without at least eating something?” the queen asked worriedly.
“She ate, my queen. It was in the kitchen in the early hours of the morning.”
“How active your sister is sometimes worries me, honestly.”
“You should be used to it by now…” Aki smiled at her sister’s antics.
“She will be a great queen, but she still needs to learn to be careful with herself.” Anela shrugged.
A few more moments of silence followed, before Nali received a message from the imperial guards.
"My queen? Shuri Udaku, ruler of Wakanda has just arrived at the border.”
“Is the queen of Wakanda here?” Anela sighed excitedly.
“Why are you so excited, girl?” Aki grumbled.
“Maybe because the queen of the most powerful kingdom on Earth is here?”
“You forget that we are also on this podium, don’t you?” Akiza rolled her eyes. “After all, what is she doing here, mom?”
“Shuri requested a meeting with me two days ago.” The black woman responded as she stood up. “Let it in, Nali. And please clear the table.”
“But I'm not finished yet…” Aki sighed dissatisfiedly.
“Who told you to fool around with food?” Anela sneered.
Soon the queen of Baku found herself sitting on her throne, her two sons at her side and once again, without the presence of the heir to the throne. It didn't take long for the vibranium doors to open and the queen of Wakanda entered with all her confidence.
Shuri admired the kingdom of Baku, from the outside of her ship, it could be seen that the unknown kingdom a year ago was not far from what would be Wakanda. Huge technological buildings and houses with futuristic design surrounded the then Baku castle. The queen of Wakanda was taken towards the throne room as soon as they landed. Walking through the doors, which Shuri did not fail to notice were made of vibranium, into the huge hall, Shuri looked at the queen of Baku, the woman was wearing gold and brown clothes, extremely well cut and aligned, her wrinkles and her expression of seriousness and confidence reminded her of her late mother. The queen had a crown that resembled those of Pharaohs, her golden throne, necklaces, the entire enclosure, would resemble objects from the culture of ancient Egypt. Something that heightened curiosity to discover this new kingdom whose existence no one knew about before. He then noticed, at his side, two teenagers, who according to his research should be Princess Anela and Prince Aki.
“Your Highness…” Shuri greeted, her eyes staring intently at the woman in front of her.
“Queen Shuri…” the Queen of Baku waved back. “To what do I owe the honor of visiting the ruler of Wakanda?”
A little hesitantly, Shuri sighed before saying the following words. “I came here to ask for your daughter’s hand as a wife.”
Direct and firm. Shuri watched as surprise appeared on the faces of the queen and her children. Mainly your children.
“Did I hear you right?” The woman on the throne slowly stood up. “Are you asking for my daughter’s hand? But which one?”
“Y/n, your first daughter.” Shuri continued confidently.
The Queen of Wakanda was surprised that she wasn't expelled within the next thirty seconds. This meant that the queen could consider the proposal.
"Do you know her? Have you ever seen her?” The queen asked curiously.
“No, Your Highness.”
“Then why do you want to marry my daughter?”
“My subjects want me to marry, but to someone who deserves the crown of Wakanda. There is no one better than the heiress of your kingdom, who has the same principles and coincidentally the same vibranium.” Shuri didn't plan on stalling with her proposal. The objectives were obvious, there is nothing to dispute. Even the Queen of Baku knew this. “It would be a perfect alliance, the two most powerful kingdoms together.”
The Queen of Baku considered the idea for a moment. The eyes looked at Shuri with even amusement. Everyone in the room was impressed with that woman's courage, perhaps not what Shuri thought, however. Only someone so brave would make such a proposal to the crown princess of the throne.
“Unfortunately, I am not a queen who decides who her children will marry…” The woman began, her face serious as she stared at the Panther. “This is Y/n’s decision alone. However, what I can do is introduce youtwoand you ask her the question directly. I can’t guarantee she’ll accept it, far from it, but who knows, maybe you’ll be lucky, darling.”
The woman sat down again, but not before asking Nali to call you. Her brothers stared at Shuri with mocking smiles, the same thought about the humiliation the princess was about to go through for daring to ask for her hand out of the blue.
It doesn't take long for you to appear. The doors open to reveal her beautiful and glorious figure. A two-piece burnt brown cloth covered her body, her upper part was covered by a brown leather skin-tight top, leaving her shoulders uncovered, reaching halfway down her abdomen. A linen battle skirt hugged her waist, with a larger tie across her thighs. Her feet are bare, soft hazel skin glistening with sweat, African braids loose and falling down her bare shoulders. You stared at Shuri with intense black eyes, assessing her casual but elegant clothes, African cloth pants with a shirt in the same style, African designs in gold, a haircut shaved on the sides letting her curls fall into her face. His disinterested gaze wandered vaguely over the slender curves of the unknown but well-known woman.
“Did the queen call me?” her voice was delicate like honey, if her beauty had previously made Shuri interested, her voice only amplified this interest even more.
"Yes. This is Shuri Udaku, queen of Wakanda.” The Queen of Baku waved her daughter closer while pointing at Shuri. “Shuri came to us to make a bold proposal.”
"A proposal?" You raised your eyebrow suspiciously.
"A proposal. Mostly you, actually.” The queen smiled amusedly. “Can you repeat your proposal, Your Highness?”
"Sim claro." Shuri suspirou nervosamente para ela olhar. "Vim pedir o seu casamento, Princess S/n."

Second Chance
K'uk'ulkan x Reader
How do you hide a pregnancy from a god?
How do you hide a child from their father?
But most of all, how do you tell him?
When you refused to participate in the fight against Wakanda, he made you leave, exiled you from your home and told you that if you ever enter the ocean he would be there to kill you. He would show you no mercy.
He didn't know back then, but you were with child. It was the reason you refused to fight. It was your first ever child, finally, your gods gifted you a child after being married to your husband for so long.
And he didn't even know.
"I will not fight against Wakanda."
"You know what that would mean, My Wife?" you looked at him, confused. "It would mean you will be no longer the Queen of Talokan, as Queen it is your duty to protect your people. You are one of the best warriors."
"I will not fight."
"Then you shall leave my castle! My cave and MY ocean! You do not deserve your title, and if you ever even touch the water, I'll be there to kill you, and do not think that because of our past, I'd show mercy! You betrayed your people! You betrayed me!"
Back then, it was s suspicion of yours. Unable to confirm it with your healers before he sent you away. His eyes filled with hatred and anger.
It wasn't the man you married, the man you loved. This was Namor.
And now, here you were, living in Wakanda as the new Queen was willing to have you in her home. She confirmed your suspicion after the fight, you were indeed with child.
This was all months ago. And now, into your fifth month, you finally felt ready to face the man who broke your heart.
Wearing a light gown but a robe on top of it, hiding your child from their father as you touched the water.
For the last months, you never once entered the waters. Only staying in a tub of water to relieve your thirst as you could live longer without water.
As soon as you touched the water, you knew. He was on his way. You hoped he was calm, you hoped he had time to think. You just stood there, waiting in the knee-deep water.
Couple of moments later, you saw him emerge, with his spear in his hands. Damn him and how amazing he looked. Damn him and how much you loved him. He spoke in your native tongue.
"I told you to never enter the waters again! It was my warning. I will not hesitate to kill you just because once you were my wife."
And yet, he was hesitating.
"I came so you can meet someone." you reached for your robe when he stood in front of you, looking into your eyes, all you could see in his was anger.
"I do not wish to meet anyone. You betrayed me. You refused to fight to protect our nation."
"I had my reason."
"Your reason was that you are a coward." you untied your robe when his spear touched your skin, the sharp edge almost cutting your skin. "Don't make me kill you, leave the water." he whispered.
"I came so you can meet your child." you said as you dropped the robe, letting it fall into the water as you tugged on your dress, showing him the baby bump. "It is a girl. Shuri confirmed it. She is healthy, and often moves around as I feel her kick my ribs." you watched him, tried to read him as his eyes were glued to your belly.
"You-"
"She is the reason why I refused to fight. I suspected I was pregnant and I couldn't risk it. As much as I love the people of Talokan, we have been praying so hard for a baby." you saw him tumble, almost falling to his knees as you started to take steps backwards. He followed you, never once taking his eyes off.
"My Love..."
"Your hate consumed you, Namor. Your hate pushed me away. If you continue with this, you will lose her as well."
"You would take my child from me?"
"Your actions would take her from you."
"How far along are you?"
"I'm almost six months." he finally fell, landing in the water he looked at you with pleading eyes. No more anger.
"My Love, I'm so so sorry. I know an apology wouldn't be enough to make up for my mistake."
"Apologise to your daughter. You know very well, I am a fool who would forgive you even if you kill me. I love you too much." you moved to sit down in front of him in the sand. Letting his arms go around you as he hugged you close, one of his palms on your bump as you felt your baby move.
"My Little One, I deeply apologise for being so harsh. My hatred truly blinded me. I hope one day you will be able to forgive me as well. Your mother is too good for me." he placed a kiss on your belly, right over your thin dress. "Return home My Love. I truly believe I don't deserve a second chance. But I wish to make everything right. I want my daughter to be born where I can be present."
"I wish to go back, but if this happens again, I-"
"It will not. I promise." and now you saw in his eyes, hope, love and determination.

Confederate Flag over Shuri
I don’t remember when or how exactly I first learned that when US military forces took control of Shuri castle (Sui gusuku) – the former royal palace of the Ryukyu Kingdom – on May 29, 1945, marking a significant stage towards total victory in the Battle of Okinawa, the first flag American servicemembers raised over the former palace was not that of the United States, the Stars and Stripes, but…

do you know if there are any real persons, places or even events that asm plot/characters could be based on ? spice&kitty uses a lot of historical events and characters in her novels (how to get my husband on my side for ex) i did some researches and i found some good similarities between theo and Ludwig II of Bavaria , places such as Neuschwanstein Castle , Nuremberg state.....
there are! they are largely unconfirmed but i have some theories! (i will speak about locations later, i have separate plans for that one!)
It's difficult to be 100% certain whether Spice&Kitty took direct influence from these historical moments but there's some strong implications. I'll put my theories below!
1. Affair of the Necklace (1785): It's the story of Cardinal de Rohan, who was swindled into purchasing a diamond necklace on behalf of Queen Marie Antoinette (unbeknownst to Marie herself). Unable to pay the 1.6M livres, he was tried as a fraudster and punished, but not before exposing the woman he believed was his sponsor, Marie Antoinette. Although she was guilty of plenty other crimes, it was the nail in the coffin that led to her eventual beheading.
There's two connections we could make here: 1. Shuri being put to blame for promiscuity over necklace(s) that she was never connected to in the first place. 2. Corrupt cardinals like Meissner willing to drag royals (Theo) down to hell with them.
2. King Henry VIII and Anna Boleyn (1536): Anna Boleyn was the second wife to King Henry VIII. Despite being in love during their early encounters, Anna was eventually convicted to a majority of charges, including but not limited to treason and incest (w/ her brother), and was sentenced to death.
This one's a little more on the nose. A King executing his own wife after discovering an incestual affair? Sounds about right.
3. Eleanor of Aquitaine and her two Kings (1137-1204): According to historical accounts, Eleanor was a bright and adventurous lady who clashed with first husband, the straight laced King, Louis VII. Eventually their marriage ended and Eleanor found love with King Henry II, Louis' rival, who was massively powerful in France. Seeing his rival and ex get together, Louis became extremely angry and this would be the start of a long-lived rivalry that lasted even with their descendants.
We don't know if Johannes and Max were rivals during their friendship together, but we do know that Ludovika was the girl that managed to catch both of their hearts. Not to mention the similarities in their personalities: Free-spirited Ludovika choosing Max's reign over Johannes' reservations and call to duty. Meanwhile, all this continuing down the line with their children, Theo and Jeremy.
that's all I've got so far, but feel free to share your findings about Theo and Ludwig II!
