A mothers instinct (pt. 2!)

neteyam x fem!reader

if you were to ask neytiri how she felt about the na’vi named y/n. she would gladly go on and on about her.

she saw y/n as one of her own.

she also saw how neteyam looked at y/n. even how y/n looked at neteyam.

watching the two of them grow up into beautifully grown adults was bittersweet for neytiri.

bitter, due to the fact they’re no longer little na’vi that like to look for animals in the forest. however sweet, because she got to witness the two fall for each other obliviously.

the two were around the age where they would be finding mates. they both completed their rituals to become adults…all except finding their other half.

noticing this, neytiri decided to play…oh what was it called… a…a matchmaker! she decided she would send the two to go find something at the Tree of Voices.

when she asked the pair to find this special “root” of a plant that only so happens to grow near the tree, they gladly accepted.

“of course we can help! i’ve been wanting to see the Tree of Voices for a while now!” y/n happily said with a giant grin on her face.

neteyam studied y/n’s smile for a second, almost as if it caused him to go into a daze. “sure yeah yeah we can go to the tree” he mumbled, still staring at y/n.

neytiri smirked. “alright then go! take your time trying to find it. it’s rare” she stated with a smile as she strutted away.

“come on neteyam! first one there gets bragging rights!” shouted y/n as she started to sprint.

“wha-hey! that’s not fair you cheated!” screamed neteyam while snapping out of his daze and trying to catch up to her.

the entire way to the Tree of Voices you could hear the laughter coming from the duo.

y/n eventually won.

only because neteyam wanted to see her smile longer… and because he happened to think she looked cute whenever she was proud of something she did.

“i won! who’s the mighty warrior now!” y/n laughed.

neteyam watched her strut around the tree as if she was accepting a prize with a fond smile on his face.

“alright you won! now come on, we need to find this root for my mother” stated neteyam as he was admiring the tree.

“oh come onnn, why can’t we admire the beauty eywa presents to us neteyam? i mean, just look how beautiful it is here!” she said while spinning around.

neteyam however wasn’t focused on the beuaty of the tree. “yeah…beautiful” he mumbled in a daze as he watched the glow from the tree reflect onto y/n’s skin, giving her this ethereal glow.

the two walked around the tree “looking” for the root of the tree that neytiri needed.

“hey neteyam? do you ever think we’ll find our mates?” y/n questioned with a slight frown.

“hm? what makes you ask that?” neteyam wonders.

“well…it’s just that i know your mom and dad mated here… before eywa. do you think she could tell us who we’re destined to be with?” y/n asked while reaching for her queue behind her.

“i think you’re right. we should check…but i have a pretty good idea of who i want to end up with” he mumbled with his freckles glowing slightly.

they both took their queues and let the pink tendrils connect with the glowing stem of the tree. the two then closed their eyes to accept the vision.

y/n noticed she was still in the forest. the first thing she heard was laughter, but not any laughter. a child laughing. y/n walked toward the sound and saw the back of a male na’vi.

she noticed the na’vi was tickling the child that was sitting in his arms. she slowly stepped around and got a proper look at his face.

it was neteyam.

neteyam noticed her standing there and looked up, away from the child.

“hello my love. you’re back early? did something go wrong with your hunt?” he questioned nervously.

“uh- no! no everything is ok!” y/n stuttered out while looking at him in shock.

she couldn’t believe that eywa was showing her the future. her future with neteyam.

she slowly squatted down next to neteyam and the small little girl that was previously laughing in his arms.

the little girl seemed to notice her there when her ears perked up and a small glint appeared in her eyes. “mommy! you back!!” she lightly screamed as she stumbled into y/n’s arms.

she was no older than 3 years old. she had the looks of y/n, but one could easily tell she was just like neteyam.

you could also easily see that she was a daddy’s girl.

“hi baby.” whispered y/n, still in shock that she and neteyam have a future together. plus a whole child.

neteyam looked at them with a find smile on his face.

the vision slowly faded away as y/n was brought back into the present where she was still at the Tree if Voices with neteyam next to her.

she turned her head to see if neteyam was still in his vision.

however once she turned around she saw that he disconnecting his queue with a giant smile on his face.

he turned his head to make eye-contact with her.

the two of them made eye contact for a while. then they both rushed towards each other to embrace the other in a passionate hug.

the hug spoke the words they were scared to speak.

“…did you see it too?” neteyam hesitantly asked her whike tightening his grip on her.

“yes. i saw us. with a beautiful baby girl.” y/n spoke breathlessly. she had slight tears in her eyes knowing she had a future with her long time friend, soon to be husband.

“wait you only saw one daughter? i saw our two daughters and a son!” neteyam spoke with wide eyes.

the two of them pulled away from the hug with their jaws dropped.

“we need to speak to your mother.”

“we need to speak to my mother.”

the two spoke at the same time.

neteyam then grabbed y/n’s hand and started the trip back to their home.

the two spent the rest of the walk smiling and laughing, knowing that they would end up to together.

they then started to try and guess what they would name their children.

neytiri saw the two walk into her tent with giant smiles on their faces, their hands linked together, and their tails swishing in glee.

“i take it you didn’t find the root?” she smugly asked.

the two made eyecontact with her and saw her smirk. they dropped their jaws in disbelief.

“there was no root to find was there!” y/n stated in awe.

neytiri just laughed.

the two teens then started to laugh along with her.

neteyam was speechless. his mother knew they would end up together.

curse those damn mother instincts.

King Orfeo

SERIES · I  EPISODE · IV

Storyteller: Sebastian Odell Host: Rick Scott

Lady Heurodis is walking through the orchard of her castle. She's been following something since she first stepped outside. But she can't see it anymore.  And she can't rememeber what it was.

 She knows only that she must find it. The trees around her are in their most beuatiful stage of blossom. She cannot pause to admire them. The creature before her has gone on ahead, and she can't lose it now...

The Tale of Sir Orfeo is an adaption of the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice into a medieval romance poem set in England. Orpheus has become the English King Sir Orfeo, and the Greek god of the dead, Hades, is instead the King of Elfland.

In this version of the tale, Orfeo’s queen is Heurodis, who has a dream of the King of Elfland and is subsequently kidnapped, in spite of the thousand knights which Orfeo sets as guard around the orchard where she sleeps.  There are three primary manuscript sources for the Sir Orfeo romance, dating from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The tales of King Orfeo is notable for several motifs. The forest and woods act as a boundary between the human and fairy world. Lost between the two, King Orfeo takes on the figure of a wild man cut off from civilisation and civility. As well as Orfeo’s kingly power and refinement, it is suggested that his sanity is stripped away. The elf king and his court are often depicted hunting, with Orfeo’s wife Huerodis the apparent target of the hunt. Orpheo is able to gain access to elf-land through knowledge of secret music or chords, just as Rowland was given magic words by the hen wife on his quest into Elf land. Orfeo’s occult music is based on the knowledge of divine music possessed by the Greek poet Orpheus, who was given the lyre of Hermes by Apollo, and taught to perfect the art of song, to charm all living things and compose hymns to the gods. Finally, Orfeo returns to his former home and seat of power in the disguise of a vagrant or beggar, as Odysseus does in the Odyssey.

IN FOLK SONG

Sir Orfeo was also adopted into a popular folk ballad. The ballad features fragments of the tale. Many contemporary performers have adapted or restored the ballad from the narrative of the poem. You can listen to versions by Fay Hield and Frankie Armstrong on Spotify.

​ELF-SHOT AND ELF-DREAMS

A significant element in Orfeo is that Heurodis is apparently haunted and later stolen away by the Elf King in her dreams. When she awakes from her first dream, Orfeo remarks upon her sickly complexion. There was a common belief that being hit by an ‘elf-shot’ or ‘elf arrow’ would cause the victim to sicken, and this condition was described in several anglo-saxon medical texts. These arrows were not fasioned by the fairies, but fell from the sky and were collected by them. In several of the ballad versions of King Orfeo, the Elf King is said to pierce Orfeo’s lady with his dart. This makes King Orfeo one of the few folk-lore stories we have found that feature this element of folklore. Another example is the Scandinavian folk tale 'Erlskud' (the Danish word for 'elf-shot'), in which the Elf King’s daughter uses an elf-shot as a dagger that causes the wounded protagonist to waste away and die. This ballad was the inspiration for a famous poem by Goethe called Erlskonig. Together, these tales associate the phenomena of elf-shot with the dangerous illusions and seductions of the fairies, and the wasting or sickening disease caused by their lethal darts.

Diving into the wild 🌱

[exalismsworld]

In autumn the forest change the clothes and seems like is invating you to be a part from a fairy festival. Everything looks different and feels different, the colors are glowing, the trees are glowing, the light easily pass through the crowns of the trees, the wind is singing, the leaves are falling, covering the ground and making a colorful carpet.

This is where Hozier would go to decay with his lover

[azuluck-blog]

even when azula reaches a healthy point in her life , she’ll never be close to the avatar gang , nor her brother — or probably anyone from her past. there is too much baggage and too much to make up for. that being said .......... aunt azula to izumi ?? the chance to have a family with a clean slate ( despite the tension that would still linger between azula and izumi’s parents ) would be incredibly healing and azula would learn to care incredibly deeply for her neice.

[ask-the-equestrians]

Alright! It's time to reintroduce you all the Equestrian Version of "The Mane Six!" Just is I said before I'll be working on them in the order when I first started with means Fluttershy is up first since she is the very first Equestrian Model I made. I'm particular happy with this model because I manage to add all the morph I lost on her hair when I autofit it to the Genesis 3 Model. At long last I'm able to master the Morph Loader Pro in Daz Studio, and I can add the morphs to the ponies as well! The only thing left is the Goddess Models, shouldn't be too hard. Now then, I also have a backstory with Fluttershy and a comic with her as well. My Darling Pegasus Fluttershy is the first true friend Lady Maya Doi ever made when she moved to Equestria. Maya was tormented by what between the Evasion in her homeland by the Demon King Axel Doi. She then believed that she was Axel and express some much regret and despair that she left her apartment home to end her life, this when she met a small yellow Pegasus that insisted on try to her. So the lonely lady give her the name Lord Axel, in which Fluttershy still address Maya as to this day, and take her in as a companion. The past two years Maya's Life change from tormented Nightmares, and despair to pureerenity. Her nightmares subsided when she sleep with the Pegasus, and a sense of joy and peacefulness grew within Maya longer she's around her. After two years though, Fluttershy had to leave Lady Maya and Mako to return home with her friends. Although to two departed Maya never forgot about Fluttershy's kindness and was able to move on and live her life as a Human Being and but her past behind her. A Few weeks Later Maya met Rarity at her boutique to create a new outfit for her, and that's a story for another time. Maya and Fluttershy's Reunion As a pony Fluttershy made an profound influence to Lady Maya, and for six years Maya visited the Everfree Forest every fortnight at the sport were they last seen each other to reflect on the promise she made to herself in to her Darling Little Pegasus, while little does she know Fluttershy was watch over her and learning about her becoming an Equestrian herself with her own Little Pony, and the accomplish she made during her time in Equestria. The two of them grew an unbreakable bond in the two years they spent together, it was no surprise when Fluttershy shown herself as an Equestrian the two of them became lovers almost instantly. At the end of the day, Fluttershy became the Second Equestrian to create a Convenient of "Absolute Devotion" with Maya. Since then the two of them frequently hangout at the Everfree Forest and at Maya and Rarity's House for fun. Maya even try to make arrangements for her and Fluttershy to share a special Heart and Hooves Day with Fluttershy, but always seems to be interrupted by one of the girls who wants to spend their time with both of them as well. Now Maya is reunited with her long lost Pegasus, she is able to open her heart to anyone who wants to bond with her, Maya is now finally able to become the Deity of Passion as her last incarnation once was... And then the Lunar Eclipse Saga happen! The Truth About Meeting Fluttershy At the time Princess Celestia caught Maya snooping around Canterlot Archives, Maya was able to get her to confess that she purposely send Fluttershy to find her in order for Maya not to do anything to hurt herself and to become friends with her. The fact that Maya was engage to her Sister Princess Luna (and still is) was devastating enough, the friendship and close bond she develop with Fluttershy was a means to return Maya to her Deity self and to Complete Element of Passion with Luna. Scourging with anger, Maya vows that Celestia will never have to Utopia she long for, because if she does, she will turn into a Demon because that world will no longer need a god like herself and she'll be the one that will slay her. This a bit of a long briefing there. I really like stories and I want to try to see if I can merge both of my brilliant software to make my third book as epic as possible. I LIVE FOR THIS!!!

"Don't get me started" no we're getting you started, ramble about some music you're really liking at the mo <3

tumblr user loudly--unladylike my beloved .,.. be warned this is rlly long n also just a lot of me going !!!!!! link to the album here

big tw for like. deep topics like death n panicking n such also this is such a long post im so sorry

ok :D background knowledge about the band n the album im gonna b talking about:

miracle musical itself was like... a music project started by one of the tally hall members !! it involves alot of other music artists too !!! they made an album n a single song!! both of those released in 2012 :]

the album is called Hawaii: Part II. there's not a part one and the band has even said theyr not making a part one.!! so that kinda sets the vibe ig. the songs don't have much correlation from first glance, even after taking a closer look they don't tell a story or anything that much !!! the thing the have in common is a mystical, often spooky, feeling (at least 2 me.) most of them have a nautical, sealife theme.

first note!!! both the first and last songs of the album start with the lyrics "alone at the edge of a universe, humming a tune-" which is like!!! continuity my beloved :]] it's also just a good lyric yknow

the first song is called Introduction to the Snow !! kinda a play on words of introduction to the show :]] it doesn't hav many lyrics but it sets the tone for the rest of the album!!! which is like... vaguely mysterious and dealing with the universe n how ppl feel kinda!

ok here's where i mention how the songs like. flow together!!! theres a variety, from the songs merging together with the same rhythms n such or a very sudden change !!!! its rlly cool n i like how there's both :)))

the second song is called Isle Unto Thyself! some of the first bits of this song rlly just ...,,., sets the vibe for the rest of the album!! the lyrics "know what cant be shown, feel what cant be known" is very releant as alot of the songs r abou tfeeling things n knowing things!! even if u cant see them !!! also banger ending transistion to the next song, tehres a buildup that transitions nicely !!!

the third song is Black Rainbows :D this ones one of my favorites!! there r two languages being sung in this one, hawaiian and english. both are singing about rainbows, which represents their love for eachother in the way of the colors and the feelings!! :D

- ok im realizing i forgot to talk about the uhhh album cover!!! it is in mostly greyscale, except for the rainbow text of the band name under the album name!!! it is an ocean with a full mon above, with overlaying images of palm trees, stairs, and a fish/monster with alot of teeth!!!! there is also what appears to be a whale or maybe plane in the backgrounf, sumberged inthe water!! to me it rll y just summarizes the mystery n like. wackyness of the album :DD

ok um back 2 the songs !!!! the forth song is called White Ball!! it tackles dealing with death in like... terms of a dance!! like a ballroom dance, at a ball! the most repeated lyric is "such impossible bliss" which. yeah. death yknow,,,.. it shows the beuaty of whatever the afterlife is. it also makes comparisons to space!!!

the fith song is called Murders! which to me feels like,, runnning away and the fear that causes? or someone gettin lost in a forest!! definetly feels like.. fear. espeacially the lines "tree falling no one would hear, shadow of nobody there" like. dude thats FEAR n yknow what i get it!!! forests can b fucking scary dude.

the sixth song is 宇宙ステーションのレベル7, which roughly translates to Space Station Level 7! this song is mostly japanese n french, neither of which i speak! so uh.,,., yeha!! bu t i do fukcign love the intruments-

oh ym gosh i forgot to talk abou tthe bacground intruments and music!!!!!!! its so good!! each song has its own little flairs and they all r just... wonderfulyl composed!!!!

now,,, the seventh song is The Mind Electric,.,. (tw for just like. idk dude its super grim the guy gets electrocuted) this one is like.. rlly haunting but its super good!! so the first half of the song is all in reverse, which sets up this like.. rlly eerie tone for the song. bc. u dont know whats going on at first! bc its all reveresd n u know the like... idk its creepy hearing ppl talking/singing backwards. from the halfway point, the song isnt in reverse any longer. dude,,, like the lyrics themselves? ouchies.... basically this guy goes to court for... somethin its not told- but uh basicallly he gets sent to an infirmary and ends up gettinf electrocuted bc his minds not in a good place. its super grim n honestly just... man,,,,,, i could explain more on this but itd probably b better as its own post tbh !!!

,,,the eighth song is Labyrinth! this one seems to b mostly about someone whos in this big.. personal struggle with love + relationships n feels trapped inhis own mind, hence the labyrinth.

the ninth song is Time Machine !! this ones pretty straightforward i think!!! kinda. this person feels like the wasted thier past and is sad and regretful. so they use a time machine!!! it feels like they are living the dream, right? but its lonely!! they begin to regret it. they realize they shouldnt waste their present.

the tenth song is Stranded Lullaby! lots of boat references n terminology here, the singer is looking for someone who they once lost, but cant seem to find them in the vast oceans of existence.

the eleventh and final song is called Dream Suite in Sea Major!!! this ones also one of my favorites !!!! this one rlly just wraps up the album. it tells the story of a sailor who gets lured in by sirens. it ends with a subtle nod to the album not being super easy to find with the lyrics "invisible to some until its time."

OK i probably did this way too much uhhh woo post finished im tired!!!!! i will explain more into some of these if ppl r interested :]]

[ragsweas]

13 & 14 please 👀

Oooh Dim you choose one of the best. I can go on and on okay?

13. Dwobbit Dwarves in the Shire.

Here's the possible summary of teh story shall it ever see the light of day.

Hawthorn Took, or Thorny, might be a dwarf by birth but he was as much a Hobbit as Chubb or Grubb. He had an immense love for all things that grew, he enjoyed a smoke, some drinks and a dance in the Green Dragon well enough and with his fellow Dwobbits- those who were Dwarf by birth but a respectable part of the Hobbit society- lived their life to the fullest.

It all changes when a certain wizard comes knocking on his door. He had no interest in going on an adventure, even if the name Erebor belonged to the dream of his dreams. He had more important things to do, like woo a certain Bilbo Baggins and certainly no one would be interested in someone who went off gallivating off for an adventure every chance they got, now would they?

This is a crack head of a story, with far too many variable and a no idea about what happens next lol!

14. Gyanganj (OG fantasy story)

Okay so I spent a whole semester worldbuiling class perfecting this world and I am currently in the process of making sense of the story.

Gyanganj is a city in Eastern India filled with magical creatures. It is not something unique- there are other cities across the globe like Atlantis in the Atlantic Ocean and Shangri-La in Xhina where the magical population of the world grows. You can find the ever present creatures, like vampires, and specific regional groups, like Yaksha and Elemntal magic users based off God's powers. The place is beuatiful- surrounded by waterfalls, forests, and a single Banyan tree 8n the centre of the city.

So there is that.

[gedankensprache]

it isn't always simple.

it's a wild, tangled, beuatiful, expansive thing.

a complex network of experiences, emotions and thoughts, [...]

running underneath the surface of everything you do.

you will discover many new creatures hiding in the crevices, burrows and dark corners of your life,

pitting against yourself.

you will take many forms in order to survive.

to become the predator isn't the goal.

you'll never finishing growing.

even the forest will not stay the same.

a new challenge is always await and so you must refuse to finish growing.
