(1/2) Can I request a male match up for Critical Role Campaign 1 Vox Machina, Campaign 2 Mighty Nein, Castlevania, and Baldur's Gate 3 please?

Sexuality : Straight but please exclude Baldur's Gate 3 Raphael, Emperor, Cazador, Thorm, and the Withers!

My personality : I'm shy, timid, quiet & polite to strangers. With people I'm comfortable with, I'm loud, outgoing, playful, mature, responsible, motherly(to naughty friends), childlike(to mature friends/family) and sarcastic (unintentionally).

I'm kinda tomboyish as I wear over-sized t-shirts, baggy pants, sneakers but don't play sports or video games. I'm a slow learner, not smart, not strong, and not talented. It's pretty normal that even my loved ones would be frustrated with me when I can't understand what they want me to do.I'm pretty dense, straightforward, oblivious, and naive too.

I get confused or misunderstand what people meant easily so it's best if you tell me straight to my face so I can't be mistaken. I'm also touch starved as I love giving & receiving affection but I only can hug one person and even then, I do my best to not overdo it because I can be overly touchy if I don't hold myself back.

I'm a hopeless romantic, sensitive, clingy, forgetful, & overthink often. I work as hard as I can & try my best & be careful as I can to everything I do, as I'm pretty clumsy & makes mistakes more often than most people. I try to help my family and friends as they've helped me & cared for me dearly.

2/2) I try to communicate properly & ask for their consent first before doing anything because I misunderstood that I had their permission before. I do my best to give people the benefit of doubt but I do have my limits. I don't really get angry often that even my family & friends are surprised when it happens once in a blue moon. I don't believe in compliments I get occasionally or why my family & friends care for me because I don't see good things in myself only bad things. I'm insecure about still being a bit underweight.

Hobbies : drawing, reading manga, listening to music, fanfics especially reader inserts, and watching anime, movies, & cartoons. My favourite genre is romance but I love comedy, mystery, action, sci-fi, fantasy, and historical too! My favourite music genre is pop, but I also love ballads, & alternative rock!

Likes : music, fanfiction, manga, anime, cartoons, books (If I find it interesting), family, friends, potato chips, chocolate, cakes, bread, anyone who is kind, patient, supportive, helpful, tries at least, trustworthy, responsible, fair in general, respectful, flexible, honest, open-minded, humble, sincere, accepting, thoughtful, encouraging, forgiving, careful, understanding, wise, mature, cooperative, caring, etc.

Dislikes : anyone who's rude, disrespectful, doesn't listen to others, refuse to admit mistakes, blames others for their mistakes, ignores people yet demands attention from them, demanding, won't acknowledge what you said, hypocritical, biased, irresponsible, careless, disloyal, inconsiderate, insensitive, inflexible, petty, hostile, untrustworthy, immature, uncooperative, unforgiving, judgemental, narrow-minded, self-centred, unethical, self-righteous, etc. That's more but that's all I could think of.

MASTERLIST 11

Vox Machina

I pair you with….Vax

He’s your support, your listener, the one who understands what you’re going through and those sticky fingers always “gifting” you things that catch your eye. He adores the romantic side of you.

The Mighty Nein

Pair you with…Beauregard

She’s curious about what interests you and sees how you don’t take shit from anyone or anything at anytime. You stick up for her and she’s got your back too. Kisses from you on her bruised knuckles help all the same.

Bell’s Hells

You are with….Ashton

He feels protective of you, despite his denial that he’s grown more fond of you than before. The barbarian can be their most authentic self around you, all the ugly and good is at your feet, and you accept him still.

Castlevania

I pair you with.., Sypha

She recognizes how similar you and Trevor can be which can cause you to butt heads with each other but she knows you mean well. Living as a Speaker entails being well read and observant which you two find common ground on. She’ll even listen to your music, one earbud for you both

Baldur’s Gate

I pair you with….Astarion

He feels a closeness with you because he can recognize the same cycle he’s repeated for 200 years but he sees you making a difference. Bit by bit, he does too because you inspire him. Gentle touches from you make him shiver at the touch

A/N: longer part today of the Bedlam AU, in which Haru makes a friend (?) Enjoy! ;)

PART 3

x

The person who stands before Haru is Baron and yet... not.

There is something of him which puts Haru in mind of a reflection through a distorted glass; his limbs are a little bit longer, a little bit gaunter, and the shadows on his face don't quite sit right. His suit is monochrome, all save for the dusty-blue waistcoat, and the cane is nicked with a different lifetime's worth of scars.

And then, of course, there are the eyes.

Where Haru had come to know (to love) emerald-hued irises, there are only buttons, beetle-black and glimmering. They catch the light differently to the gemlike way Baron's had, still inorganic but... other. A criss-cross of ebony-dyed thread sits in their centres, and Haru tries not to wonder too long on their existence.

The not-Baron takes a step towards her.

She takes a step back.

He halts.

Even changed, even unfamiliar, she still reads all too well the pain which flickers across his face. "Haru? Is that... is that you?"

"Baron?"

The smile which lights up his face, she recognises. His gloved hand curls about his cane in the way she knows betrays his desire to pace. "So you do know me. I'm glad. I had feared maybe the trip here had been too much, caused you to forget–"

"I know of a Baron," she says curtly. "I do not know you." She looks up at the place which is the Sanctuary, and yet – like its button-eyed owner – isn't quite. "Where am I? Why did you bring me here?"

"I didn't bring you here, the Sanctuary did."

Haru recalls her own Sanctuary – no, not hers, not anymore – and its nature of meddling in others' affairs where it saw fit. Some things don't change, apparently. "Why?"

The not-Baron gestures for her to take a seat on sofa (red, but just a shade off) which Haru warily takes. "I have wondered this," he says, sitting opposite her, "and I have concluded that it sensed us both to be in pain and in need of the other."

"Need?" Haru echoes. Faint alarm bells go off in the back of her head. "Look, if this is a soulmate, fated kind of thing, you should know that I've had quite about enough of being told who to love to last for a lifetime."

The not-Baron chuckles; it is that same beneath-breath laugh she has heard so many times while mediating a Muta/Toto argument and it makes her heart constrict. "I know, trust me. My Haru was just the same."

Haru's breath catches. "My Haru?" she repeats.

The not-Baron offers her a soft, sad smile. "Where there is an Other Baron, there there'll be an Other Haru also. You're in a parallel world, you see; one almost identical to your own."

"Well, save for the..." She gestures uneasily to her own eyes.

The Other Baron grins. "Ah yes, the buttons." He brushes a finger along the rim of the right one. "Like I said, parallel worlds. Things work differently here, as you may have gleaned. From what I have seen of your world, however, there are few differences beside this."

"From what you've seen of my world?" Haru repeats. She leans back, caution colouring her words. "And how much have you seen?"

The Other Baron catches the unspoken 'of me' addition, and shakes his head placatingly. "Only that which the Sanctuary deigns to share. I know your world is much alike mine, save that the Baron in yours is somewhat lacking in the..." and he tilts his head, searching for the right word, "courage department."

"My Baron is plenty brave," Haru returns hotly.

"Ah, but he's not. Yours, I mean."

Haru's cheeks redden.

"But if he were brave," the Other Baron says, "then he would be. If he'd had the courage to speak his mind, as you had learnt all those years before, he would not have rejected you so."

Haru looks away. The coffee table before her is walnut – not oak, like her homeworld's Bureau's – and the grain runs in darker grooves. "He doesn't feel that way for me."

"I doubt it," the Other Baron hums. "We Barons do not differ that much."

She knows it is foolish, and yet she still asks, "And you? Did you have that courage?"

He throws her a smile which she realises she has never seen on her Baron's face; it is openly, shamelessly, in love. Her heart breaks anew. "I did," he says. "And for the brief time we shared it was... beautiful."

"I'm sorry. How did she...?"

"A case went wrong. She went right when she should have gone left, and that was all it took."

Haru's left shoulder twinges in sympathy. She rolls it back to numb the ache, and the Other Baron's gaze narrows on the action. Suddenly, Haru is hit with a jarring surety of just how close she came to death that day. "I'm sorry," she says again, for there's little else to be said, "I really am, but I still don't see why I was called here. I'm not her. I'm not... I won't be someone's replacement."

Grief clouds the Other Baron's face, even if his buttoned eyes give little away. "I know. I tried to tell the Sanctuary that, but I..." He takes a shaky breath, dips his gaze. "It didn't listen, and I didn't have the heart to barricade off your way here, not if it meant I got to see you – a version of you, at least – who still lives. Especially when I saw how my other self–" He cuts himself off abruptly, but not quickly enough to hide the disdain. He tries anew. "I suppose the Sanctuary thought our situations were compatible – me, a Baron without his Haru – and you, a Haru whose Baron refuses to accept her."

"He hasn't–"

"He threw you out of the Cat Bureau," the Other Baron reminds her emphatically. "He is a fool."

Haru wants to argue, but the petty, heartbroken side of her holds her tongue. She was good at the Bureau work, invaluable even on some cases, and he had pushed all that away – pushed her away – simply because her heart had fallen for him and she'd been blind enough to tell him.

"Still," she says, stubbornly clinging onto more comfortable truths, "I'm not your Haru. I'm not here to... to step into her place." To be your Haru, is the unspoken addition. "I'm just... I saw a door, I opened it, that's all."

The Other Baron nods. "I know. I just... it would be good to see you again. As a friend," he quickly adds, a half-smile tugging knowingly at his lips. "Truth be told, losing Haru has been hard not only on an emotional level, but a practical one also. We could do with your help on a Bureau case or two – if you wanted to."

Haru's lips twist, failing to hide the wry smile. "I'll think on it."

Once the mortal is gone from his world, the Bedlam loosens his shape from the cat Creation facade. No need to fret over her exit – she will be back. He has laid the trap too well for her to walk away without at least a backwards glance.

But now he cannot rest on his laurels; he must prepare for her inevitable return.

He has more webs to weave.

Green Bathrooms: Elevating Style with Sustainable and Witty Renovation Ideas

Embarking on a bathroom renovation is more than selecting tiles and fixtures; it's an opportunity to weave a narrative beyond mere aesthetics. In this extensive guide, we'll explore the world of green bathrooms. These unravelling ideas minimise your carbon footprint and infuse your space with a whimsical dose of wit and sophistication. Imagine this renovation as an unveiling—an expression of your dedication to sustainable living, wrapped in the allure of a stylish sanctuary. Let's dive into the realm of eco-chic, where every decision contributes to a greener planet and every design element whispers a narrative of conscious luxury.

1. Water-Saving Fixtures:

Now, let's have a heart-to-faucet about the unsung heroes of our bathrooms: faucets and showerheads. Forget about the water-guzzling fixtures of yesteryear; those are as out of style as bell-bottoms in the 21st century. We're stepping into the era of eco-chic, where low-flow alternatives reign supreme—the supermodels of bathroom fixtures, if you will.

Picture this: your bathroom transformed into a runway where water conservation struts its stuff. Kohler and Delta, the fashionistas of the fixture world, are leading the charge with options that keep things posh and rescue gallons of precious H2O from a life of wasteful extravagance. Installing a dual-flush toilet is like sending your bathroom to its very own water-saving boot camp, complete with a personal trainer. With each flush, it flexes its muscles and declares, "I'm not just a porcelain throne; I'm an eco-warrior in disguise." Forget about water waste; your toilet is now a lean, mean, flushing machine sculpted perfectly by the dual-flush workout routine.

2. Energy-Efficient Lighting:

Welcome to the luminary realm of bathroom brilliance! We're not just talking about lighting; we're talking about an illumination revolution. LED lights, the rockstars of the lighting world, have swaggered into your bathroom with an energy-efficient entrance that would make Mick Jagger proud.

These LED virtuosos are energy-efficient and boast a lifespan that could outlast your favourite retro vinyl collection. With a colour range that rivals a DJ's playlist, your bathroom's ambience is now at your fingertips. Want a serene blue for a relaxing soak? A vibrant red for an energising morning routine? LED lights transform your bathroom into a dynamic canvas, ready for your personalised light show.

But the party doesn't stop there! Enter the backstage pass of bathroom innovation: motion-sensor switches. It's like your bathroom hired its own paparazzi, ensuring the lights are on only when the room is ready for close-up. Step into the limelight, and the lights follow suit; exit, and they gracefully dim, setting the stage for a bathroom experience that's not just bright but also smartly orchestrated.

3. Eco-Friendly Paints:

Let's toss that traditional paintbrush aside and grab an eco-friendly one—it's time to colour outside the lines with a splash of sustainable style! Bid farewell to those lingering toxic fumes because low-VOC paints have taken centre stage. Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams, the Picassos of Paint, have crafted a palette that adorns your walls and puts a gleaming smile on Mother Nature's face.

Picture this: your bathroom is a canvas for aesthetics and a masterpiece of conscious living. As you dip that eco-friendly brush into a pot of low-VOC paint, you're not just crafting a feature wall but participating in a love story between style and sustainability. The air is cleaner, and Mother Nature gives your bathroom walls a standing ovation.

4. Recycled Materials:

Prepare for a bathroom transformation that rivals the allure of a high-profile fashion runway—welcome to the world of recycled chic! Ever envisioned your bathroom as a runway for a recycled fashion show? Now is the time to turn that imagination into reality. In this chapter on sustainable design, we're exploring the reincarnation of materials, where discarded elements morph into glamorous bathroom features, proving that style and eco-consciousness can walk hand in hand.

Enter the spotlight: reclaimed wood—the fashion-forward vintage piece of the bathroom realm. It isn't just any wood; it's the superstar that once adorned an old barn or warehouse, now taking centre stage as a vanity or shelving unit. The knots and grains weave a narrative of their past, infusing character and depth into your bathroom. With every gaze, you're prompted to recognise that your bathroom is more than just a room; it's a carefully curated exhibition of history and style.

5. Smart Water Management:

Prepare for the PhD-level upgrade in your bathroom—it's time for an IQ boost with the Einsteins of the plumbing world: smart water management. Meet the maestros, the smart thermostatic valves, and the metres, orchestrating a symphony of water conservation. Your bathroom isn't just a space; it's an intellectual hub, and it's just enrolled in a water conservation masterclass, graduating with honours in style and intelligence.

Imagine this: your bathroom is now equipped with valves and metres that are essentially the brainiacs of the plumbing universe. These aren't your run-of-the-mill fixtures; they're the Einsteins, the think tanks, crunching numbers and giving you real-time insights into your water usage. It's like your bathroom wears a graduation cap, waving its diploma proudly as it joins the elite league of water-wise spaces.

Your thermostatic valves are the conductors of this water-saving symphony, ensuring that your shower is not just a cascade of droplets but a choreographed dance of efficiency. Meanwhile, the metres play the role of vigilant guardians, whispering in your ear about every drop down the drain. It's water conservation with class and a sprinkle of genius.

6. Indoor Plants:

Get ready to roll out the green carpet in your bathroom because it's time to let nature take a shower! Indoor plants aren't just accessories; they're the divas of the green scene, transforming your bathroom into a lush oasis.

Picture this: snake plants, spider plants, and pothos strutting their stuff as the A-listers, basking in the humid ambience of your spa sanctuary. These green marvels aren't merely potted; they're your bathroom's entourage, bringing an enthralling touch of freshness and oxygen to every corner. It's not just about the vibrant green hues; it's a botanical spectacle that elevates your bathroom into a verdant haven.

7. Upcycled Furniture:

Time to sprinkle a dash of antique chic in your bathroom—because who said furniture can't have a second act? Upcycled wonders aren't just about repurposing; they're about giving your bathroom a story—a narrative that's as quirky and charming as a vintage sitcom.

Consider this: an old dresser from yesteryear, now strutting its stuff as the Instagram influencer of vanities. It doesn't just hold your toiletries; it tells a tale of bygone eras, a saga of style that unfolds every time you reach for the toothpaste. Forget regular vanities; yours is an influencer with history, a trendsetter in bathroom glamour.

And what about that ladder you've rescued from the depths of forgotten corners? It's not just a tool for climbing; the towel rack injects a dose of whimsy into your bathroom. Every hanging towel becomes a quirky piece of art draped over a ladder that has seen more than its fair share of tales. It's functional, charming, and a conversation starter because your bathroom deserves a talking point as original as you are.

So, let's applaud the antique heroes, the upcycled legends, for turning your bathroom into a stage where furniture takes a bow for its encore. Upcycling isn't just about saving the planet; it's about weaving a narrative into the very fabric of your bathroom. In this saga of antique chic, your bathroom is the protagonist, a stylish storyteller in the book of sustainable design. After all, why settle for a bathroom when you can have a sanctuary with a story?

Conclusion:

As you approach the grand finale of your bathroom renovation show, it's time to unveil a clear message: green is not merely a colour; it's a lifestyle, a philosophy that resonates throughout your redesigned sanctuary. It isn't just about selecting tiles or choosing a new vanity; it's about weaving a narrative beyond aesthetics.

By seamlessly incorporating water-saving fixtures, energy-efficient lighting, sustainable materials, and a playful dash of wit into your bathroom design, you're not merely creating a space; you're crafting a bold and intentional statement. Imagine your bathroom as a stage where each element plays a role in this eco-chic production. The water-saving fixtures are the lead actors, gracefully showcasing their efficiency and style.

Energy-efficient lighting takes on the role of a masterful lighting designer, ensuring your space is illuminated and bathed in an enchanting and eco-conscious glow. Sustainable materials step into the limelight as the unsung heroes, transforming your bathroom into a gallery of environmentally friendly art. Each material contributes to the masterpiece, from bamboo flooring to recycled glass countertops—a testament to your commitment to responsible living.
