That's Where You'll Find Me

Chapter 11: The Road Through the Forest

Fandom: Teen Wolf / The Wizard of Oz AU

Characters: Stiles + Lydia, Prada

Towards evening they came to a great forest, where the trees grew so big and close together that their branches met over the road of yellow brick. It was almost dark under the trees, for the branches shut out the daylight. But the travelers did not stop, and went on into the forest.  - L. Frank Baum, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

After breakfast, Lydia and Noah check out at the front desk. Mr. Brindley helps them with their bags, walking them to the Jeep and bidding them a fond farewell.

Outside, the Brindley Arms looks slightly different than it did last night. The red paint on the door seems more polished, the shutters less weathered, the overhead sign straighter.

As they continue down Drover Street, Lydia notices that the other buildings appear tidier, the fences less rickety, the people more cheerful. She wonders if it’s the influence of the morning sun or if the magic from the token is already taking effect. It wouldn’t be the only thing to have progressed overnight.

Something has shifted between her and Noah as well. Their smiles are more frequent and less reserved. The looks they exchange last longer than before. Occasionally, when they talk, they touch… fingertips tapping a shoulder or a wrist, knuckles nudging an elbow or a knee.

Noah touches her so gently, and his interest in her is limitless. She can hear it in the delivery and phrasing of his questions. She can see it in his expression as she responds to each of them.

He likes her.

He likes her, and here, in this strange new world—of all places—she isn’t too suspicious or too scared to appreciate it…like she was in sophomore year.

[OLD ART ALERT] A COLLECTION OF SCENES FROM THE GILLIONS CATSCRATCH ARC THAT BROUGHT ME GREAT JOY. i love fishy chips especially when its just gillion being delirious and violent and hostile

[moonchild-in-blue]

So, sometimes while playing botw/totk, I like to take out my horses and do long journeys across Hyrule, to take a break from fast travelling and completing quests.

Since I just got a new horse way down south (her name's Urania!), it seemed like the perfect excuse to take the long way to Link's house. Usually I map out the way before hand, so I know which route to take, and what stables/towns we are stopping at. Because I wanna feel like Aragorn I suppose.

This was the completed route, starting in Highland Stable, Faron, towards Link's House in Akkala:

It took us about 2.5 days to make the journey, with 3 stable stops in Dueling Peaks, Woodlands, and finally Foothill, with a short stop in Kakariko Village to get some supplies and food.

I realise now I could've continued north towards Riverside Stable, instead of east Dueling Peaks but. Oh well. It was a very pleasant trip either way!

(pics and deets below):

So, we took off from Highland Stable and headed east, around Lake Hylia. Crossing the Hylia bridge would be easier, but there's a fire gleeok there and I'm very scared 😌💙

It wasn't easy to cross Farosh hills on horse, but we made it! Took us a day's worth.

(I forgot the Big Twin bridge wasn't in use, so I did try my best to find a different way for Urania to cross, but no deal. I had to cheat a little and use the stable boarding function 🥺)

Then next day we took off early and stopped by Kakariko to buy some more arrows for me and carrots for the horsie 🥹🥕

Left the village by 9:30, passed by Wetland stable, and continued north to Woodland stable.

We spent the night, and I left Urania there while I took care of some nearby affairs (aka a shrine and a couple other things). She behaved super well so I mafe sure to give her some extra apples before we took off again 🥹

We only had a few hours of daylight left, so we only went around Trilby Valley, and stopped at Foothill for the night (horse girlie needs to rest and also I didn't wanna be arsed with all the stalkoblins and such 🙃).

Next morning we left early once again, and after some very annoying storms and rain, we at last reached home 🥹💙

It was Urania's first journey EVER, and she did wonderfully 🥹💙🐎

Path Through the Treetops

[thorsenmark]

Tree Lined Skyline Drive (Shenandoah National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking to the east-southeast while taking in views along Skyline Drive at a location Google Maps depicts as Low Gap. This is in Shenandoah National Park. My thought on composing this image was to use the road as a leading line with the trees on both sides of the road to help channel the look ahead. I also tried to keep a balance with having more of the road with that of the trees overhead and wanting to angle my Nikon Z8 Mirrorless Camera upward to capture more of the canopy above.

Just woke up from weird dream but it was nice too, at least partly. I leave everything else out except the nice part.

In this part of the dream, I entered in this tiny but beautiful wooden house which had one floor only. There were few wider "pillars" / walls which you could circle around (open space in a way). I had Grimmjow there with me and we, kind of (?) dated (?). I mean we had so warm, deep bond with lots of fun! No, no sex etc!

We were playing some kind of tag indoors. I fast walked this short and narrow hallway (to my left) which took me from mudroom + entrance into this tiny kitchen which looked like it was from fancy Finnish summer cottage. I tried not to giggle while hearing Grimmjow's steps coming closer behind me. The idea of this game was not to be seen and running / hiding.

From this little kitchen, I turned to the right next to wall. From this spot I was able to see tiny living room (fancy!) and little hallway leading to left from living room. There also was tiny pillar which blocked partly my view to the left.

Grimmjow, all of the sudden, stepped out behind this long wall (which is still on my right and goes forward towards living room), saying something like: "Gotcha." with a grin. I made tiny pout and then laughed how unfair it was that he caught me already. He just grinned in happy way, his hand sneaking in his pants. From his groin area he pulled out this tiny white fabric bag, tossing it to me. This was part of the chase game.

"I really hope this has not been in your groins, rather between your pants."

He grinned even more with a chuckle, saying: "Smell it and you know."

I laughed out an "Eeww!", dropping the bag. We both laughed. We honestly were having so much fun! Just being two goofy adults, playing this weird game, enjoying each other's company :3

Vallée d'Ossau pt. 2

We entered the steep narrow part of the valley to hike up the high pyrenees national park. It was dark and foggy, misty, damp and wet*. The river next to us, waterfalls on the other side, clouds around us. Fern and lichen everywhere, the moss on the rock wall sometimes made little showers. We had to cross so many little streams and I only got my feet wet in the very last one.

A few more odds and sods from Triberg. I'm not going to show much more because someone commented on a previous post saying that they will visit Triberg in June, so I'm not going to spoil everything for them, particularly regarding cuckoo clocks.

The Black Forest is well known for its cuckoo clocks, and Triberg is home to the most extreme: the largest, which is a possible stop on the Railway Adventure Trail we covered yesterday, and the smallest, which are housed in the Schwarzwald Museum. But there is also a "first biggest cuckoo clock"... in Schonach. This would be the first clock to be recognised as the biggest by the well-known record book, but it has since been overtaken by the one in Triberg.

It's closed on Mondays, so all I have is this photo from the main road between Triberg and Schonach - in which I've cropped out the clock on the left. The clock is on the old road between the two towns, which is much nicer and at times bucolic. Schonach has a ski jumping hill which I'd like to visit, but didn't manage to fit it in on my one-day trip.

Between the waterfalls and the first biggest cuckoo clock is the Bergsee, a tiny lake with a simple café-restaurant on its edge - decent food, calmer* and not as pricey as downtown Triberg. The lake served as an alternate venue for ice-skating competitions in the 1920s, when Berlin wasn't cold enough!
