Imagine Jason being so soft and sweet and clingy with you that when his siblings see him in a store with you they have to do a double take. It would be extra funny if his family didn't know about you yet xD

── . ✦ in which dick spots something very unusual from his brother at the grocery store.

Late night grocery trips were preferable to Dick for two primary reasons; One, being as the stores were usually less busy, meaning less people would spot him. And two, crime was typically preformed at night here in Gotham, meaning he could keep an extra eye out. It was like killing three birds with one stone!

Turning the corner, Dick hummed a random tune to himself upon entering another produce isle. He was just here to pick up some cereal and butter, nothing too important. As he leaned down to grab what he needed, a friendly couple entered the isle from the other side— giggling and holding hands.

Not wanting to seem nosy or rude, he didn’t stare, still scanning to find the brand he liked.

“Nope- All they do is knock shit over, claw your back, and piss all over the fucking furniture.” The guys voice from across the aisle sounded familiar, a little too familiar— almost like his brother Jason’s. But he ruled that one out quickly… It was obvious that the dude and Jay acted completely different. Though, the mysterious guy did sound like one of his old friends from high school. Maybe it was him— Damn, how long had it been? What a coincidence to see him here!

Dick looked up— fully expecting to run into an old friend. Yet, the realization of his mistake came crashing down like a punch to the gut as the boyfriend moved his face into view, eyes still glued down to his girl. Oh, it was Jason! What was he doing here at this hour? Dick chuckled, looking back down before snapping his neck up for maybe the fourth time.

Wait— that was Jason?

“But, like- Same for dogs! You have to walk them twenty times a week, and pick up their shit too. No animals are easy to care for, but cats are definitely easier!” You argued with your boyfriend, squeezing his hand to try and enforce your point.

You two had been dating for a good couple months now, but still, Jay was ever so reluctant to get an animal! Every time you brought it up, he’d make the same five points. “Kay- That’s fair, babe, but-”

Jay teased once more, laughing as you tried to protest. Fuck, was it ever cute when you got all defensive like that. It was definitely Jason’s guilty pleasure, and he couldn’t help but tease you when the opportunity was in front of him— practically begging to be taken. Jay quickly leaned down for quick kiss, hands moving to your waist. He hadn’t even realized the two of you weren’t alone in the aisle, nor that the other person here was his brother.

You couldn’t help but just melt into your boyfriend’s touch as he kissed you— moving his lips down your jaw and neck. Your hands steadied on his abdomen, as he lavished your collar in desperate affection.

“Holy fuck.”

Dick was completely in shock. Jason was not only acting clingy with someone— completely vulnerable and desperate, but was also with a god forsaken secret girlfriend he had never told anyone about! It showed in the way he kissed the girl’s neck, and in the way he held her tight, that Jay was in love. But still, was this all some fucking witchcraft? How in gods name did someone get him to open up and act all lovey-dovey like that?

He didn’t know what to do, but sure as hell didn’t want to get caught. Dick slipped out of the asile, your collective giggles still faintly audible as he entered the parallel row. He was debating on taking a photo or not… but he didn’t want to invade the girl’s privacy.

Instead, he made a mental note of the encounter, checking out and leaving, already picturing the faces of his family when he’d bring it up at the next dinner.

asile!Hazbin Hotel: Hell's structure

● circle 1: foreshadowing

• a transitional area without a ruler, but with a wide river to wade across

• dead relive here memories of both the worst and the best moments of their lives

• it is also the place where those who are not yet ready to die but whose soul is temporarily separated from their body go to

● circle 2: Lust

• the ruler is Asmodeus ben Agrat, king of rage and rape, son of Agrat bat Mahlat (one of Lucifer's wives) and king David

• deserts, dunes and cliffs with dramatic temperature changes

• the weather here is mostly bad, with sandstorms, but Duke Zepar, like a true knight, allows sinners to live in his fortress during storm

● circle 3: Gluttony

• the ruler is Baal'Zebub, lord of flies, aka Beelzebub, Lucifer's right-hand man and the longest-standing of his associates, who has been the deity for a lot of semitic tribes

• constant rains and downpours, sometimes acidic, and perpetual dampness

• haunting odor of decay

● circle 4: Greed

• the ruler is Mammon, the owner of Earth's bowels

• from here on, the underworld becomes more populated and more comfortable (mostly in favor of hellborns ofc): what Mammon cannot be blamed for is mismanagement

• the descent into the lowlands, a foreshadowing of the vast swamps

● circle 5: Wrath and Sloth

• the rulers are Satan, so-called remote Eden employee who tests the hardness of mortals, and Baal'Fegor aka Belphegor, a retired moabite near-deity

• endless swamps where mindless mortals rot

• there are popular fighting pits here, where unconverted sinners and those in the fourth stage are sent

● circle 6: the walls of the capital (Herecy)

• the suburbs, a sort of rural region similar to the settlements near the cities and fortresses of the Middle Ages

• home for heretics and false teachers

• underworld spawns, like younger demons and imps, live here quite peacefully, breed, live and grow moldy fungi for baking and smoking

● circle 7: capital of the underworld, eternal Dis (Violence)

• the largest settlement of the underworld; actually a city-state based on the self-government of Ars Goetia nobles and the local life of individual districts

• several rivers run through Dis

• the largest hunting grounds, sometimes referred to by sinners as the Suicide Forest, belong to the count-governor Glasya-Labolas; periodically he gathers guests and organizes a seasonal hunt for sinners

● circle 8: gorges (Fraud)

• some higher demons dwell here, of course, but due to the extreme fragmentation of the area (large caverns), anarchy reigns among the sinners, and Ars Goetia waves goodbye to it

• the seat of thieves, souteneurs, negligent priests, bribers, counterfeiters and other enterprising gentlemen

• comfort what comfort?..

● circle 9: Lucifer's estate (Pride)

• local Helheim, 200% cold, where traitors are tormented in the depths of lake Cocytus

• Lucifer the Morning Star likes to complain that he's cold here (no, he's not cold, he's just showing off his fancy wing coat)

• stupid boy! you shall never reach the surface ©

pt. 1: about creation and chronology

pt. 2: about powerful creatures

pt. 3: first people

pt. 4: where (and who) it all began

+ additions about Hell at all, about languages and about sinners' sufferings

love all your posts on pb’s books! I’m so glad I came across your blog! what’s your opinion on Leah’s relationships with men outside of bran and Charles? namely Sam, Asil, and Tag? to varying degrees they’re pretty contentious (I’d say with Tag being the least threatening towards her)

not many thoughts about tag and asil! sorry! i never stopped to ponder about their relationship with leah too deeply as they are not very relevant to her overall story. i will keep this ask in mind for future re-reads and post something once i form a more definite opinion.

sam's trickier. his dislike for leah seems stronger than charles's and yet more shallow. a couple of reasons for this, i think:

1) charles dislikes leah as a person. he may not spend much thought on the finer points of her subjectivity and there's a rigidity to their interactions partly engendered by leah's role as bran's wife. but this role is something charles heeds mostly as a practical consideration in order to avoid his father's chastisement. overall, he sees leah as a human being not as bran's appendage. on the other hand, anyone correct me if i am wrong, i think i have only seen sam refer to leah in relation to her impact on one of his family members. somehow telling.

2) sam's relationship with bran has some ideological fractures, but it is not strained by a lack of love or respect: he perceives his place in bran's heart to be very secure. charles, who has suffered firsthand from bran's neglect and has spent a lifetime executing his darkest endeavours, is in a better position to empathise with leah and mistrust that bran's actions towards leah have the best intentions.

3) sam is also much more callous in the fundamental belief women are sexual objects and reproductive factories over which men have automatic rights. if he wasn't, he would have been much less casual and much more conflicted over his treatment of mercy, a teenager he seduced by deliberately assuming a protective role with the sole intention of making her bear his children. leah "refusing" to mother charles and "depriving" bran of the chance for a happier union must mark her as very unnatural in his eyes. and this opinion would have been reinforced by leah targeting mercy since she was young. that she tried to harm mercy is maybe the only element of personal offence he can muster against her. still it seems he only started intervening when he had the brilliant idea that mercy would make a good mate, so...

i don't think there is much more than this on his part tbh, he doesn't spend enough time considering her (as far as i can tell) for anything else to be there.

as for leah, i think she is jealous of him too, but it takes on a different quality compared to her jealousy for charles. sam was in some ways the closest thing bran had to an equal before sherwood reemerged. despite being the third to charles's second, the fact he and bran are so close in age and have so much shared history leaves an understanding between them that no one else can really penetrate. when leah came to live with bran, charles was a child and his opinion probably mattered as such. sam was already sam and probably the only person bran really trusted in the entire continent. i am theorising here, but logically i think at the beginning leah must have been simply intimidated by him and his disdain, probably angry too. overtime, as the goal for her to be bran's life partner became clearer, i think she must have started to resent his role in bran's life. with charles the competition is a bit more fair: bran loves him and will never love her, but at least the playing field to earn his respect trust etc started out somehow more even. how do you compete with samuel?

[slowlysointernet]

This post is an add on to this post.

Again one thing i'm struck by in Cry Wolf is how much Bran keeps Leah in the dark about things in this book. When i came across this part ;

so i found it curious that Bran stayed at Charles's house around the clock. Now around the clock means 24 hours if i'm not mistaken so it got me thinking would Charles stay at someone else's house for 24 hours after a battle without going back home to his mate or even without telling his mate what was up? I don't think so.

Now granted Bran might have communicated mind to mind to Leah like he did to Tag to inform him to clean up but there's no evidence of this in the book. There's more evidence to suggest that he hasn't informed her of anything because he mentions that he has to leave because Leah would be worried and Leah seems annoyed at him when he goes back home.

This moment right here is just before he goes to where Asil and Mariposa are and it might seem like an irrelevant line but in just a short sentence, it illustrates the coldness between them. I don't believe this moment is Bran being malicious here (although it's interesting that he believes that she wouldn't care but that's off topic) but it's still another instance where he keeps her in the dark again.

T'Pel's Children! Bios under the cut. Patreon | Ko-fi

[Transcript: Sek is an elementary school teacher who has a mixed-species classroom. He has three children under his care - one biological daughter and two half-Klingon wards whom he considers his daughters. He is married to a woman named T'Nia, his betrothed. 

Sek is a busybody and prone to being judgemental. However, he does care deeply for other people - especially children, and is never intentionally mean. His favored sibling is Varith because he's the only one who reliably listens to him. He and Elieth bicker a lot.

Elieth is a politician who is concerned primarily with his personal goal of changing Vulcan's image in the eyes of the wider universe. He 'loves' Vulcan and he wants to showcase its diversity to everyone.

He is married to a Betazoid socialite named Ione Kitain and they are often in the tabloids due to her stunts. They have a podcast together. Elieth's personality is opinionated, stubborn, and free-thinking. He often clashes with his more traditional older brother and father.

Asil studied the kolinahr but quit right before going through the final ritual. She is now an independent detective who focuses especially on cases given to her by women. She is married to a Ferengi sex worker but has hundreds of admirers across the galaxy. 

She has no bias towards or against any member of her family thanks to her kolinahr studies. The reason she quit was that she didn't want to become a stranger to them.

Asil is soft spoken but her language is flowery and she is flirtatious in the way a fairytale prince might be. Gallant, chivalrous and mysterious.

Varith is a Starfleet science ensign. He has chronic pain, a dog, and an attitude. He joined Starfleet instead of the Vulcan alternative in an attempt to understand his father more.

His personality is sarcastic, curious, and somewhat grouchy. He is a fan of anime and has a figurine collection.]

[Transcript: Sek is a member of an orchestra and a private tutor. He has one daughter with another child on the way and is often extremely busy as a result. He often feels pressure to be 'perfect' and holds people to standards which are too high. He gets along very well with his mother and often plays her songs which Tuvok once did.

He gets along very well with all of his siblings who view him as a reliable and steady presence in their lives. His personality is responsible, calm and a bit of a nag.

Varith is a scientist and a member of the Vulcan Expeditionary Group. His betrothed is also in the group and they serve aboard the same ship but they are not yet married, to everyone's confusion. 

His personality is dedicated, straightforward and idealistic. He is a person who lives by his morals and dislikes liars. Wants to honor his parents. Very close with all his siblings whom he views as good people. 

Elieth is a lawyer who specializes in domestic disputes. He is married to a Vulcan woman (his betrothed) but is currently having an affair with a betazoid socialite, Ione Kitain. His sister Asil is the only one who knows of this and he doesn't like speaking to her. 

Elieth's personality is extravagant, sly and calculating. He enjoys leading a quiet life where he wants for nothing which is a reason he doesn't want to become publically involved with Ione. Another is that he doesn't want to disappoint his mother, who views him as a rehabilitated troublemaker.

Asil is a priest who completed her kolinahr training. She was already a priest but she completed her kolinahr training after her father's disappeared in order to deal with the crushing sorrow it left her with.

Her personality is logical and serene. She truly experiences no emotion so she has little reaction to the world around her. Her life is dedicated to the teaching of others and maintaining her equilibrium.]

AGSZC Wedding Highlights (crack)

from the @strayheartless archives <3

The ceremony will be quiet, sweet, intimate, possibly an elopement, and the after party/reception will be a literal zoo because Zack will invite every friend he's ever made, which of course includes animals. Naturally, Cloud's dragon aunt and cousin (Asil and Knarf) will also be invited.

Cloud biting Hojo and Sephiroth immediately urging him to let go… because of how gross Hojo is (that can't be healthy for Cloud), not because Hojo is screaming in pain.

Sephiroth and Cloud hiding under a table/in a closet is going to happen. No, not to make out (though that will happen), but to get away from ~the people~.

Sefikura do come out at regular intervals to show love for their partners by braving the humans. They emerge together, holding hands, and go greet family members or dance with AGZ for 30 minutes at a time, then they make eye contact from across the room and go rescue each other.

"Excuse me, Aunt Rachel, it was lovely meeting you, but it looks like my new husband needs a break" *scuttles off to rescue Cloud from a dance with Cousin Casey*

"Oh, my new husband looks like he needs me, thanks for the dance, bye" *skitter skitter skitter*

AGZ being so proud of them and grateful that they're pushing through AND taking care of themselves.

The Strifes defend the new husbands from obnoxious relatives (some lines borrowed from the illustrious @strayheartless)

Cloud: *materializes out of nowhere* Hello, Genevieve Rhapsodos. I heard you were saying this cake was triggering your asthma because of the gluten. You meant celiac disease. Which you don't have and didn't warn us about. Furthermore-

Sephiroth: Nope, back to the table *drags Cloud away, desperately grabbing his hands so he can't flip her off*

Zack: *laughing his ass off*

Gillian: You had that coming.

Angeal: *trying not to laugh and come up with an apology*

Genevieve: *sputtering indignantly* Are you going to let him talk to me like that?!

Genesis: *smirking* Yep.

Claudia: How's that for a country bumpkin, bitch? *shoves cake in her mouth*

Genevieve: Are you going to let HER talk to me like that?!

Genesis: I don't LET the Strifes do anything. They do what they want. If you want to fight her, go ahead and good luck, mother.

Claudia: If you need me, I'll be under the table with them having delicious, gluten-filled cake, mmmmm!

-----

(((For context, Asil is Claudia's dragon mom friend, as discussed here, and Knarf is Asil's dragon son)))

Hojo: *shows up, starts making a scene with security. Apparently being bitten wasn't warning enough.*

Claudia: I smell bitch. Be right back. ASIL!

Hojo: *suddenly gains the power of flight via dragon*

Knarf: *is raiding the buffet, his mom can handle this*

Hollander: *skedaddles with a pocket full of cake after seeing what happened to Hojo*

Knarf: *pops his head under the table to lick the boys then trots off because he smelled Scientist with CAKE*

Hollander: *is about to learn a valuable lesson about dragon tracking abilities*

Claudia: *adopts Sephiroth on the spot and pats his head because she's awkward and doesn't know what to do. It's the perfect thing to do.*

Genesis sneaks each of his boys away to dance in the night air at some point, just the two of them in a circle of fire he lit with his materia skills to show off.

Angeal makes sure everyone eats, especially Cloud, who was nervous before the ceremony, and Genesis and Zack, who simply forgot.

Sephiroth whisks each husband away to look at the stars together and fumbles through a few lines of the individualized love letters he wrote for them.

He knew he wanted to do something like this and wound up asking Cloud's friend Tifa, who walked him through romantic ideas, and encouraged him to write them each a letter if he was uncomfortable speaking it all out loud. Once he had a structure, the rest was easy. Each of them cherishes their letter to this day.

Zack worked really hard to smooth the way for everyone socially, and also gave each of his men a special, meaningful wrapped gift.

Cloud pulled each one into a random hallway, got on his tiptoes, and kissed them.

He's not the biggest on physical affection, so they were all thrilled that he agreed to marry him despite his hang-ups AND that he's initiating a lot. They're all out of their minds and over the moon over how incredibly cute he is.

He also told them each the same thing, trying to be romantic. And, well...

"I'd kill a god for you and rip out their innards with my teeth".

He...probably should have asked Tifa for help. They love it anyway.

After the party, they take their time on their honeymoon to chill in each other's company.

That suits Angeal just fine, because even neurotypicals get worn out by socializing, and he LOVES cuddling his boys.

Cloud gnaws on a lot of stuff in happiness.

Sephiroth is purring non-stop, and they all take turns laying on his chest.

Everyone passes Cloud around like a prize and he puts up with it because it's THEM.

Everyone simultaneously decides to dogpile Angeal and thank him for all he does for them while suffocating him to the happiest death ever.

Besides marital activities, cough cough, there will be a lot of...

Them play fighting in the long grass. Them getting ticks in the long grass. Them being treated by Angeal and told not to go back into the long grass. Them going back anyway because one of them (Zack) found the coolest bug ever. Genesis setting fire to the long grass because he hates bugs. All the ticks dying because he firagas the shit out of the long grass. Angeal sighing about the long grass. Sephiroth pulling out his textbook knowledge and saying it's fine, the grass will come back, but the ticks won't, and really, they did the world a service. (I KNOW THIS IS NOT SCIENTIFIC, LET A SALT DREAM)

Them all stargazing in the burnt field, Cloud falling asleep almost right away, sandwiched between two of his husbands. Zack asking to be carried home when it's time, then falling asleep in Sephiroth's arms. AGS putting the spiky ones to bed together and taking so many cute pictures as the pair automatically gravitates to each other.

They stumble across a Hojo lab and discover their new children: the Remnants and some Chadleys.

Zack: I love all our babies 🥰 we should have more! Video of Zack with his babies

Sephiroth: Alright, let's find another lab to raid.

Angeal: *reading documents* WHAT THE FUCK, HOJO?!

Cloud: ikr even after Asil ate him we're still finding his experiments. They're hella cute experiments, but still.

Genesis: *at the babies* STOP CHEWING ON YOUR BROTHER.

[ Mint Candy ] - For when your breath isn’t as fresh as newly-fallen snow.

Flora proceeds to serve a younger student, passing through the refreshments asile to make a quick decision. These are...mints, correct? Resembling candy to an untrained eye, though their mint flavor does leave a favorable taste. Perhaps what a young soul would enjoy for attracting company on a night like this.

"Might I interest you in some candies, young sir?" Flora opens her palms to reveal a handful of mint candies. "You can take one - or as many as you'd like. There should still be plenty left afterwards."

"Oh, thanks!" Caspar plucks one of the candies from the maid's palms and wastes no time in unwrapping it and popping it into his mouth. The sharp taste of mint rushes across his tongue and down his throat, and he exhales a cool breath with a smile. "So you're one of the people working tonight, I guess?" The mint clicks against his teeth as he speaks. "I hope they let you take a break to enjoy the party. There's a lot more fun to be had if you're not handing stuff out to people all night."

Vampire Knight: Senri Shiki's Yandere for Kianna Komori — Aesthetic Part 7 (Requested)

Deadly Secrets

The air was cold, but snow had yet to fall. It was now December as the fifth month of the school year came about. This meant first semester Final Exams were around the corner and as was the Cross Academy's annual winter ball to wrap up the school year. However, Senri didn't care about any of it because it meant winter break would take place immediately afterwards. Meaning, he would be apart from his Sweetheart for two weeks. Speaking of which, Senri hadn't seen Kianna all day. Of course, this wasn’t out of the ordinary considering their schedules function during polar opposite times of the day. Regardless, it didn’t stop Senri from thinking about his girlfriend.

Senri was walking along side Rima and the other Night Class Students across the bridge, which led to the main campus building from the Moon Dormitory. The golden sun was setting on Cross Academy. Thus, it was time for the switchover as they approached the Moon Gate. Once the large double doors parted, the vampire students were greeted with the usual cheers and squeals of the Day Class Students. Well, most of them. Kianna was among the scarce few who never participated in the crossover. The loud noise was too much for her. Senri understood this, but it would be nice to catch her eye in the crowd once in awhile.

"I see Zero is nowhere to be found". Kaname commented.

"Yes. That is odd". Senri blinked beside Rima.

"I wonder where that Disciplinary Committee member ran off to". Takuma smiled.

"Doesn’t matter to me". Rima shrugged.

Hanabusa walked with his hands behind his head. "Good riddance". He huffed in response.

Kaname then approached Yuki from behind. She was struggling to keep the rowdy girls in line. "Yuki, don’t push yourself too hard". Kaname commented.

"Ah"! Yuki jumped. She then whipped her body around and bowed respectfully. "I-I won't"! Yuki declared. "Thank you very much". She awkwardly stuttered, scratching the back of her head. Unfortunately for her, several teenage girls were now glaring at her back for barely talking to him.

It was obvious to everyone Kaname gave Yuki special treatment. However, they were all a little confused by it. No one understood Yuki was the only thing Kaname cares about. Except for Senri. After talking with his cousin the other night, he knew Kaname was referring to her. Knowing this, he hopped the Pureblood has been thinking about is proposal to turn Kianna.

Eventually, everyone reported to class. By the time all the Night Class Students were gathered in the dark classroom, stars shown in the sky. Vampires were positioned across the room. Some sat at their desks, or on top of them, others were standing on the asile steps, while a few students even sat in the large windowsills above the classroom. The only light in the room came from the gothic windows pouring natural moonlight into the space.

Suddenly, the heavy wooden classroom door opened and shut. The sound caught everyone's attention. Every vampire in the room stiffened and their eyes glowed a fiery red on instinct. The man who walked into the room wasn't their usual instructor. He was a rather tall man with bright white skin, which was flawless. He adorned a traditional victorian instructor suit consisting of dark brown slacks with a long matching trench coat over a white blouse. The man's lace-up, dark brown leather boots heavily stomped over to his desk located at the bottom center of the room. His raven hair swayed in a ponytail above his tailbone as he walked. Once the unknown figure reached his desk, he stood behind it and faced the class with his stone cold gray eyes. "Hello". The man greeted in a husky voice. "My name is Maku, however; you will adress me as Professor Komori. Starting today, I will be your new ethics teacher". He announced in an emotionless tone.

Kaname was leaning against the wall with a book in his hand. He was halfway through turning a page in between his fingers when he paused at the announcement. At Maku's words, Kaname glanced up at Senri with his mahogany eyes. From his point-of-view, Senri was in the center column of the classroom. He was sitting in his chair with a poky stick hanging out of his mouth. Shiki received the candy from Rima, who was sitting atop her desk in the row above him.

"What did he say"? Rima asked with narrowed eyes.

"It appears you won't aquire my help after all, Senri". Kaname mumbled to himself.

Since the Night Class is composed of vampires, it's only natural for them to be taught by Vampire Hunters to keep them in check. These hunters are a species all their own. Their human ancestors drank the blood of a Red Cloaked Pureblood and managed to obtain various inhuman abilities to fight against vampires. However, none of them were aware Kianna's father was a vampire hunter himself. Although this meant she's technically human, Kianna is truly a vampire hunter because, the species is dominant in their offspring. Like vampires, any children conceived with a weaker species will automatically inherit the blood of the stronger parent. Hybrids don't exist among humans and vampires or humans and vampires hunters. Yet, it's possible for a vampire and a vampire hunter to create a hybrid child as both species are codominant.

Acknowledging this, Senri now knew his dilemma had been solved. Vampire Hunters are known to live thousands of years. In addition, their inhuman abilities would increase with each generation. For all Senri knew, Kianna could now live as long as him. Despite this welcomed information, it also meant he had questions for his Sweetheart. Even though they had always been reserved, Senri at least told Kianna some things about his family. His girlfriend, on the other hand, had been completely silent about her relatives for some reason. Perhaps this was why. Senri thought Kianna didn’t want to scare him by admitting she's capable of killing his own kind... specifically, killing himself. At the same time, there seemed to be more to this than Senri knew.

I went to a dark place, torment horror unbearable I'll never speak about, a place a soul gets ripped apart Divine found me and put peace inside my heart and it's a good place to start.

I always write letters I can never send so I put little notes like these out.

I just want my heart to be safe, able to run wild to see joy jump across his face is my happy place.

I accept you as you are, I have control over being a good person because I respect me, but that doesn't guarantee you will be good to me, so I can always walk away and sleep guilt free.

This different is madness but you can't hate the roses because you got scratched with one thorn.

Hard to believe how much damage can be done in a year, I was completely different last year.

Can a bad ending be redeemed by a good beginning?

I'm making flowers grow in the saddest parts of me, my tears are watering them gracefully.

Waiting for the day I kiss with a smile, he doesn't tell me to stop he gets me to laugh instead it's just a dream I have in my head.

One day I'll walk down that honored asile in those satin white ballet shoes.

Even as broken as I am, I am strong. what do you have to say for how I hold myself together and move along?even though I'm shattered, I never stop to wonder what might of been if I stayed, keep going always this is my healing and you and I both know us wasn't pretty.

Someday you will understand.

Civil war is coming, government wants us to fight, private owned prisons are owned privately for a reason, nothing will be safe, the slime from the dam one day will break water will be poison after that no life will be spared. beware.

Portals are opening, the kuiper belt is full of watchers, the watchers are aware, something is awakening. The ripple effect as just begun and no one is ready for what is to come. You can't run and you can't hide even their bunkers won't be enough to survive. This download is heavy head feels like it's splitting, from discernment because the government will use project blue beam more and more now from aliens to humans nothing will be as it seems what is real just might be fake and what is good will be covered as evil. nothing is safe.

What is something we always want but never have?

You can cast spells with your eyes? Show yourself is what I always say when someone looks at me I just call it out silently. It has never failed me I always see what's hiding. Yes you can cast spells with your eyes they never hide the heart or soul. Eyes speak energy.

WW3 won't be what you think, because it's already here, you just refuse to see.

I'll see my x again just not in the way you think, he'll be a ghost standing in my kitchen on Halloween I'll be in a dress surrounded by loved ones the teapot will whistle and his apparition will be his transition. He paid for his crimes, our last time, our final goodbye.

The devil exists, man created him so man had an excuse for his bad behavior to never look in the mirror and blame himself for the devil within.

From the core of my soul life will never depart.

Oh the damage existed, but control never lasted enough to choke me though.

I hate looking people in the eyes, you want to know why? I'll see all that you hide, you'll shapeshift right before my eyes I've a goblin come out in a woman before, I've seen the light of life in a dying man's eyes, I've seen a child eyes turn a soulless black. I don't look see

you have no idea what I've been through, kidnap, pedophile and pimp I'm not ashamed I survived I'll write truth until the day I die, I've been on the streets longer than you, I hate games humans play everyone's a toy until that toy breaks, I see the snakes, stay away.

No, I am no better than you. I'm only trying to be better than your pain.

I'm trying to act okay when I'm struggling. Have to pretend everything is okay.

The x is being questioned, his life is on the line, I can feel it through the timeline, my call is in due time I'm scared beyond fear itself will my pictures, will my scars be proof enough? Will the judge be smart to see his bluff? Doing this alone is rough. This is tough stuff.

I lay out my heart day after day, everything around me is gray, I am invisible in the storm when the heart is beyond repair.

Into the deepest darkness I took a fall, a good one too, no sobbing no anything at all just deep breathing, oh well whatever happens happens to us all.

He sold his black heart at the market, she dare speak of love it didn't touch everything but she changed enough.

Someday I will live in the castle through the trees, near the ocean to feel its salty breeze, one day I will be free, someday I'll love just a little to much for the star to see.

Sometimes sunshine just wears thin.

She looked in the mirror spoke to her heart, "I will take this winter, you will rise again as the sun, I will be braver to wear you in the spring, my love."

She's a diamond in the rough, that still deserves the daylight she's still a flower filled with delight, she's not your enemy, she wasn't your fight to conqueror she wanted shelter from the wind, to fill the home with tiny treasures, a way to say thank you but you hit her instead

Braided into bloom and fade, in need of proof of time that was real, touch them feel them, my storytelling tears searching for pictures of pages turned to debrie, something's are never meant to be

Tons of weight, anchored to a soft heart, buried under, cement afraid of another burden fighting the pull of gravity, twisting steel screams of cracking metal and bone, harsh winds and no release.

Running back and forth between high grief and little delight only trying to live for once in my life.

Between the sunshine and rain there is pain.

Soul to soul, nothing to hide, for we will meet again on the other side, so many fear that rawness, so few know the naked spirit without body only the true in truth know the mind, for there are no lies when are apart.

She no longer expects love or kindness back in return.

Such sadness in these eyes, such a bittersweetness in a smile, it's painfully written in the eyes, they give nothing to world expect everything they've gone through.

You taught me to go back to my heart and reread a few chapters differently with you in mind so I can grow up to be with Divine.

Soon I'll be living in my own home and when he finally comes along I'll get the chance to say I love you for all time.

honestly i have become a great proponent of transverse seating on metro trains. montréal has a very jumbled mix of transverse and longitudinal which i think is maybe more complex than it should be… they have no more than a couple longitudinal seats together at a time and i think if your door spacing is large enough you should get at least 3 side by side longitudinal seats in a row while also having 2+1 transverse seating interspersed. i think that mixed layout, in addition to fold up seating at two adjacent wheelchair parking spots in each car, and leaning spots made of seat bottom material everywhere that is unsuitable for a seat is my perfect metro car. you can squeeze maybe a couple more seats out of the same floor area, and 2+1 means that the asile isnt much narrower than transverse when accounting for ppls legs. also, you can put things to hold onto on the asile side of the transverse seats (which can also help you get up from sitting) AND i think transverse is more friendly to the autism/anxiety combo as youre not forced to stare across the asile in the direction of other ppl.

montréal for reference:

“She wears his dog tags now.” Asil informed him as he left the study after reporting on all that had happened. “I thought you might like to know his name is very literally stamped across her chest in that manner.”

Bran’s lip twitched and Asil gave him a very disappointed and very knowing look.

His blood ran cold.

The Architect

One day, I was living my life as usual. Nothing exciting, get up, go to work, get home, reread my favourite romance novel, fall asleep browsing the internet, sleep. Repeat.

The next thing I know, I woke up in the middle of… I don’t know where.

It was cold, and when I tried to move… it didn’t exactly go the way I wanted. A very small and pudgy hand flailed into my view. Everything else was just a background blur. That…. It couldn’t be mine…

I tried to move again, the pudgy hand flopped about again. I felt my mind screech to a halt.

What!

Wh- How- Where-

My thoughts soon dissolved into an incomprehensible mess of frustration.

Dreariness, drudgery. This is my life. But its going to change today.

My name is (MC), and I was unceremoniously dropped into my favourite romance novel. So did I end up as a most beautiful and irresistible main character? No. How about a gorgeous and previously unknown side character? Still no.

Nope when I say I was dropped into it, I mean literally, me dropped into this world, not possessing the body of a character from it. With one difference.

You see, I woke up in this world as a very confused baby just… in the middle of nowhere. Now you could say that I was fortunate someone found me being in such a helpless state, wailing and unable to see past my flailing, pudgy hands. Except that those who found me were slave traders,

(me, a modern girl who can read and write and think and has had a proper education —----

(Possible MC name: Satiya) MC wakes up as a very minor character in a romance novel (an unnamed background maid) with her own appearance. As she knows what novel she’s in she is able to break out the ML from the castle she works in where he’s imprisoned. They flee through woods/swamp and monsters with her helping tend to his wounds and hide him as best she can before they finally make it across the border. Stealing clothes off a clothesline to disguise themselves they slowly make their way across the kingdom to the capitol where he is finally safe with his family and she is rewarded for helping him. The reward is why she did it, as she confessed to him, she is just hoping for enough to help her get by and set up a small life for herself. His family give her far more than that, they give her enough wealth to buy her own property. But she doesn’t want to spend it all at once and have it run out. So she banks it and is very frugal about how she uses it.

She woke up as a baby, appearing and being found, then tossed to an orphanage/sold to the villainous household. She has learned to stay alive by avoiding the most dangerous family members, keeping her head down, mouth shut, and obeying orders/commands. She had her tongue cut out when she sighed once near a family member. So she can only communicate through nodding and gestures.

-Have to sneak because there are spies in the MLs kingdom, so they need to get directly to the king and queen -Top general (or something) betrayed the ML and is also the reason for sneaking so far -A secret passage to the castle and right to the room of the queen (locked by blood/so only them and their children can use it?) when they enter the bedroom he wakes her and says they've been betrayed. He says this is (MC) who helped him escape/he wouldn't be alive without her. They need to keep his return under wraps for a day or two until the betrayer is caught/flees. MC chooses to remain relatively unknown and just get her reward because she doesn't want the villain family or someone coming after her for revenge. ------

Asil (Roxana’s dead brother) a living member of the family? Blonde hair, blue eyes, secretly gentle/compassionate but has to hide it. He has an eye patch on his left eye, wavy hair tied back in a ponytail. Perhaps Ashil gets along with maid MC and he was who ordered her tongue cut out to save her from something worse? They see each other as like siblings? When Ashil was 10? And she was younger he got beaten badly and she came across and helped him. Knowing his fate from the book she decides to tell/warn him of his fate and explains where she’s from. He asks to see the book she wrote it in and she lets him read it all. He thanks her, hands it back and tells her not to show it to anyone else. From that point on he works hard to improve and change his fate. His demeanor changes as he shuts everyone out but he still helps her whenever he comes across her in need and can do so without revealing his true self to anyone else.

Inquisitor Moro Lavellan (Background)

Moro was born to Asil and Izemrasen, in an Alienage within the Free Marches. She lived there together with them and her older brother Pharaan. Both parents patient and stoic, individuals born and raised in Nevarra, a heritage they took great pride in.

Life was hard but they were a tight-knit and close family, especially close with her brother Pharaan. She was never far behind him as she constantly sought him out to pester or play with.

When she was only ten and her brother twelve when he had manifested his magic. While playing in an old abandoned house within the outskirts of the alienage Pharaan's magic had manifested, startling a young Moro enough to make her lose her balance and fall into the debris below. She survived the incident, but was left with the long harsh scar that runs all across the left side of her jaw.

Eventually her brother was found out and taken to The Circle by the Templars. Devastating the entire family. For the next three years the loss of her son had caused Moro's mother Asil so much grief that she eventually succumbed to illness and eventually, passing away.

The conditions in the alienage deteriorated, and Izemrasen knew things would only continue to get worse, especially as Moro grew more into a woman. So when a passing Dalish Clan arrived in their city, he pleaded and begged with them to take Moro when their stay would be over, with or without him.

Fortunately they would not have to be seperated, and the clan accepted them both.

For the next seven years Moro would go through many trials and struggles trying to find her place within Clan Lavellan. She fought and quarrelled many times with her peers, who constantly berated her standoff-ish demeanor, difficulty with understanding and learning Elvhen & about the Elvhen Gods. Chaulking it up to her being a 'Flat-Ear'.

The Keeper and other elders of the Clan helped guide Moro's anger and frustration into becoming a great warrior. To follow and revere the teachings and ways of Andruil. In doing so, she would eventually earn her fellow clansmen's fear if not respect as she grew deadly with a glaive.

By the age of twenty Moro was well on her way to earning the right to bear Andruil's Vallaslin.

Clan Lavellan was a strict and rigid group. Vallaslin were given only for that god which you chose to exalt and emulate above all others. Marrying and bearing children with those of a similar cloth to make the next generation better and greater than the last.

Moro had however been secretly dallying with Arlen. A young man, blessed and gifted in the craftm, with a specialty for creating beautiful instraments. Arlen and Moro deeply loved each other, but tradition dictated that they couldn't be together. Something Moro was willing to accept, Arlen not so much.

Spoken in spite after many arguments, Moro claimed if Arlen wanted her so badly, "Propose in the Way of The Warriors, slay a great beast and bring it's hide for my Bridal Gown."

And so Arlen did. But Arlen wasn't a warrior, his hands made to create and not kill. Losing his life in the pursuit.

The loss of her love, that she saw as a consequence of her pride and arrogance, led to Moro on the day of recieving her vallaslin to forsake Andruil. Demanding she be marked with June's Vallaslin.

A honouring of her dead love, and a permanent reminder of her shame and grief.

She would soon learn she was with child and she took comfort knowing that aside from her Vallaslin, another piece of Arlen was left behind.

[ad_1] GG News Bureau New Delhi, 26th Nov. In a significant move to bolster India’s innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem, the Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has approved the continuation of the Atal Innovation Mission (AIM) under NITI Aayog with a revised scope and a budget allocation of ₹2,750 crore for the period until March 31, 2028. The second phase, AIM 2.0, is designed to build on the successes of its predecessor, Atal Innovation Mission 1.0, and is in line with the vision of a ‘Viksit Bharat’ (Developed India). The renewed mission aims to further strengthen and deepen India’s innovation landscape, advancing the country’s position as a global leader in research, innovation, and entrepreneurship. India currently ranks 39th on the Global Innovation Index and boasts the world’s third-largest start-up ecosystem. AIM 2.0 is expected to enhance India’s global competitiveness by fostering a culture of innovation across various sectors, creating high-impact services, innovative products, and better job opportunities. Key Features of AIM 2.0: Increasing Input: AIM 2.0 focuses on increasing the number of innovators and entrepreneurs through two major programs: Language Inclusive Program of Innovation (LIPI): To promote innovation in India’s 22 scheduled languages, aiming to lower entry barriers for innovators and entrepreneurs who do not speak English. This initiative will establish 30 Vernacular Innovation Centers. Frontier Program: Designed to develop customized innovation templates for regions like Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, North Eastern states, and Aspirational Districts. The program will create 2,500 new Atal Tinkering Labs (ATLs). Improving Throughput: To ensure higher success rates for start-ups, the following programs will be introduced: Human Capital Development Program: Aiming to produce 5,500 professionals capable of building and maintaining India’s innovation ecosystem. Deeptech Reactor: A research sandbox for commercializing deep-tech startups that require longer incubation. State Innovation Mission (SIM): A national initiative to help states develop innovation ecosystems aligned with their unique strengths. International Innovation Collaborations Program: This will focus on global partnerships, including an Annual Global Tinkering Olympiad, bilateral engagements, and participation in the Startup20 Group during India’s G20 presidency. Improving Quality of Output: AIM 2.0 aims to produce better jobs, products, and services through: Industrial Accelerator Program: To increase industry involvement in scaling up advanced startups, with at least 10 industry accelerators to be created in public-private partnership mode. Atal Sectoral Innovation Launchpads (ASIL): These will act as platforms for central ministries to procure solutions from startups, with a minimum of 10 launchpads being developed across key sectors. The continuation of AIM, with its enhanced budget and strategic initiatives, reflects the government’s strong commitment to fostering a robust innovation ecosystem and supporting India’s aspirations to become a global innovation leader. With the support of these programs, the government hopes to drive economic growth, create quality jobs, and enhance India’s global standing in research and development.
