Смотрю на свои недописанные штуки с мыслью «да, да, котики, мне тоже очень интересно почитать, что с вами будет дальше, но я еще не знаю».

--

Накидала синопсис, чтобы поболтать с нейросетью о дальнейших путях развития событий, смотрю на него, и надо же, а ничего себе такое. И тоже грозит разрастись вширь.

Что у меня есть: в прошлом случилась война, но она завершилась событием, в результате которого враждующие стороны оказались буквально в двух разных вселенных, и люди утратили память об этих событиях. У обеих сторон сохранились обрывочные сведения (в технических логах и подобных источниках) об этой войне и о том, что к концу войны партизанские движения с обеих сторон начали активно сотрудничать друг с другом, есть несколько героев, благодаря которым война завершилась, но их личности остаются неизвестными. Иногда отдельные воспоминания возвращаются к отдельным людям, но они кровавые и травматичные, и иногда сводят людей с ума. 

Десять лет спустя, миры возобновляют коммуникацию между ними через систему порталов, и становятся возможны путешествия. Оба народа, населяющие ��х, прикладывают все усилия для мирного сотрудничества и открыв��ют границы для путешествий и эмиграции. (Да, у нас фантастика.) 

Главный герой эмигрирует из одного мира в другой и встречает там вторую главную героиню, которая привлекает его внимание, хотя он никогда не был с ней знаком. Они знакомятся, между ними происходит несколько взаимодействий (соперничество, переходящее в флирт), и в конце концов выясняется, что она - одна из тех людей, у которых сохранились воспоминания. Она помнит некоторые вещи о себе, и также вспоминает отдельные вещи о людях, с которыми сталкивалась во время войны, но для этих воспоминаний нужны триггеры (повторение каких-то фраз или действий, которые напомнили бы ей о связанном с этими людьми прошлом). После одного из таких триггеров к ней приходит очень специфическое воспоминание, намекающее, что она и главный герой могли быть теми самыми людьми, которые положили конец войне (то есть, изначально были по разные стороны фронта, но стали союзниками). Она рассказывает об этом главному герою. 

Главный герой имеет довольно сложное прошлое, еще до войны пережив уничтожение своей родины и скитания в качестве беженца в юности. Как только у него в жизни наступает стабильность, он ощущает себя везде лишним, ему непонятно чего не хватает и хочется чего-то большего. На момент событий у него недавно развалились отношения, длившиеся последние три года (вторая сторона еще поучаствует в сюжете, выступив помощником), и он хватается за всю эту историю со второй героиней в том числе чтобы отвлечься. Но чем дальше, тем больше ему интересно вернуть себе воспоминания о войне, потому что там по его ощущениям с ним произошло что-то важное. Кроме прочего, тема воспоминаний для него важна, потому что он не помнит ничего о первых 10 годах своей жизни (после медицинской операции, затронувшей его память), и из-за этого ничего не знает о своей семье, всю жизнь помнит себя сиротой. 

Главная героиня до войны жила в мирное время. По мере постепенного возвращения к ней воспоминаний начала писать песни, чтобы как-то с этим справиться, основала свою рок-группу, где является вокалисткой. Она довольно сильный характером человек, но испыт��вает проблемы, потому что видела много смертей и пережила много жестоких событий во время войны, и воспоминания об этом для нее довольно травматичны. Иногда злоупотребляет алкоголем, испытывает тягу к риску, бывает агрессивна, но старается все же в основном решать свои проблемы конструктивно. Иногда на фоне воспоминаний о войне испытывает ощущение, что мирная жизнь не для нее и она в ней чужая, что сближает ее с главным героем. 

Несмотря на то, что некоторые романтические взаимодействия между ними происходят, основной фокус - не любовная история, а что-то вроде поиска смысла жизни, непрерывность памяти, поиска своего места в мире.

Types Of Witchcraft

Note: These are general/basic explanations of different classes of magick/witchcraft. Practitioners can fall into multiple or none of these categories. Ultimately, only an individual can choose their labels.

Green: Utilizing greenery/plants/herbs/flowers in herbal/nature magick, such as creating blends of different plants or primarily using herbs in spellwork. May keep a garden and take great pride in their workings/connection to the earth and nature.

Hedge/Shamanic: A type of magick that's more oriented towards spirit work, Otherworld and astral travel, dream work, spiritual power and healing. May work with psychedelic/psychotropic/toxic plants and fungi as spiritual tools (ie: flying ointments/teas made from amanita muscaria or datura)

Sea: A type of magick derived from materials/abstract ideas involving the ocean world. Sea magick is worked using various items from as well as one's own connection to the sea and its creatures.

Storm: Magick that is worked by combining one's own energy with the energy of the weather, most commonly storms. Storm witches may have practices such as collecting storm water or snow, "whistling up" or manipulating winds, or performing rituals during severe weather.

Hearth/Kitchen: Magick performed through kitchen craft and/or mundane tasks/crafts around the home or for loved ones. Typically worked daily through food, herbal mixtures, crafting, decorating, and hobbies. May also work with the Fae/elements/nature.

Tea: Those who drink tea, make their own tea mixtures, or enjoy blending herbal remedies and often use reading tea leaves as their form of divination.

Urban: For those who live in or prefer an urban setting/lifestyle. Magick that is worked in densely populated areas and big cities, without some of the seemingly "traditional" aspects of witchcraft.

Tech: Magick that is skillfully worked through technology. A tech witch might cast spells/do divinatory readings on the internet, use magick based apps/programs, or keep a digital grimoire/library.

Elemental: Magick that is worked by honoring/acknowledging all 4/5 elements (Fire, Air, Water, Earth, and/or Spirit). Elementalists may dedicate part of their alter to each element and call upon them during rituals/spells. Conversely, they may choose to focus on only one element changing the designation to either fire, air, water or earth witchcraft.

Fae/Faerie: The magick of those who work and commune with the Fae. Faerie witches may do rituals/spells around the Fae, ask favors of them, have regular communication sessions, and leave them offerings. The Fae are very unpredictable and strong but, with time and respect, they share their magick with special individuals.

Infernal: A system of spirit work/magick that revolves around Infernal spirits/entities, such as demons, djinn, or other spirits of a chaotic alignment. This practice requires a surprising amount of shadow work and dismantling of oppressive religious systems. They may summon demons, perform rituals/spells with them, make deals, or take them up as magickal familiars.

Necromancy: The practice of seeking the assistance of, summoning, communication, and diving through the dead. Practitioners may frequent cemetaries/burial grounds/haunted locations and perform magick and spiritual/divinatory readings there. Often employ the use of pendulums, dowsing rods, talking boards, black mirrors, grave dirt, and bones.

Draconian: Draconian magick is a practice that involves engaging with dragons as powerful forces and allies in spiritual practice. It can include rituals, symbolism, and techniques to connect with dragons, and may be used for empowerment, healing, and spiritual growth.

Chaos: A type of magick utilizing new, non-traditional, and unorthodox methods. It is a highly individualistic practice that draws from many magickal disciplines (eclecticism).

Blood/Sanguine: A very potent class of magick that includes the use of one's own blood or that of another in powerful rituals/spells.

Sigil/Art: The use of sigils, symbols, glyphs, runes, or artwork infused with will and intention. This practice is vast, versatile, and diverse with each practioner producing truly unique results.

Lunar: Lunar magick is the practice of performing rituals during the different phases of the Moon to bring about physical or psychological change. They may honor/worship the Moon, do moonlight rituals, or make moon waters. Conversely, one could work with the Sun in much the same fashion.

Cosmic/Celestial: Magick that incorporates the stars and planets. Astrology is a dominant force in their lives and witchcraft and they consider the placement of celestial bodies before doing a working.

Crystal: Incorporation of crystals/stones in one's magickal practice. May make crystal grids, include them in their spells, use them in energy work, meditation, or for Reiki healing.

Glamour: Glamour magick is an enchantment type that adjusts or changes your outward appearance, or people's perception of your outward appearance and can include the enchanting of jewelry, clothing, and even makeup for magickal purposes.

Shadow: Magick with a focus on the elements of darkness and shadow. May practice umbrakinesis (shadow manipulation), magickal subterfuge and illusion, and feel at peace, and even practice, in pitch black darkness

Are there any you feel I should have included? Please let me know! I'd love to expand this list. :)

THE SKATER IS FINALLY DONE

And without the lines, I like both

He is my purifier oc, I really like how he turned out!

I'm still figuring out some of the details, but I'll consider him complete

Also, if anyone is interested in knowing more about Skater, he would be delighted to answer!

I'll leave the text under the cut

Age: 23

Pronouns: He/him

The Skater was assigned to help the Batter in his mission. Like the Batter, he believes that the world is in need of purification.

He loves fighting, both specters and anyone who challenges him. His love for the feeling of adrenaline of a good fight can make him lose his senses. The only thing left in his mind is the dance of the attacks.

Skater is always messing around with people. He has an entire catalog of tricks up his sleeve to have some fun. You can tell how much he likes a person based on how he messes around them. Both Batter and Dedan agree that he is annoying.

He has a problem with Lucky Tickets. Even Zacharie is starting to worry about him.

One more piece of https://www.tumblr.com/alt3rnata/771516287595741184/heres-a-piece-from-wip-fic-in-this-scene-teach?source=share where one man crosses the border between Alrest and Bionis to meet the other as promised. This is a flashback that directly continues the events of the previous part and is framed by a much less romantic scene in the present, a bit of which can be seen at the end.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 post-canon, the rating of the scene is T, Teach/Zeon, the characters are adults, Teach is referred as Oleg. 1196 words. Still WIP and a quick translation and whatever.

______________

He remembered well the day he first stood in front of the door leading to Zeon's flat. Three months of texting, phone calls, exchanging photos (quite innocent ones) had passed. The command was not happy to learn that he was not going to renew his contract, but they let him go in peace. He went through the portal a day earlier than the date they had agreed on, dropped off his things at the hotel and simply walked around the capital all day — not to see the sights. To unwind and calm down. Yes, he conscientiously gave Zeon the opportunity to get to know himself better, told him everything about his daily life, about his work, about how he relaxes, told the story of his life in Indol and his arrival in Torigoth (omitting the gloomiest details). And Zeon did not get lost, on the contrary, he was impatiently awaiting his arrival, but Oleg was still worried. What if the magic wears off when they meet in person again? What then?  

However, if he wanted to be able to back out, he would simply have a holiday. The decision had been made, and his anxiety did not prevent him from showing up at the appointed time the next day and ringing the doorbell. 

Zeon opened the door for him, smiling broadly, invited him in and, apologizing, ran into the kitchen, where some timer was beeping. Oleg looked around, taking off his shoes. There was no hallway in this flat, the door opened directly into a small, bright room, where there was a desk with neatly laid out papers, books and devices of unknown purpose, two impressive bookcases and an armchair with a floor lamp. And also attention was drawn to a whole greenhouse of various plants on a wide windowsill, which Oleg decided to examine later. It was obvious that the flat had been freshly cleaned. Something smelled nice from the kitchen. 

Having washed his hands in the bathroom, he went into the kitchen, where Zeon was just taking a baking sheet with small pies out of the oven. 

“I borrowed this recipe from my mum. I asked for something foolproof, now we'll see how well it turned out. I usually cook something simpler for myself, but I thought I wouldn't treat my guest to scrambled eggs or something,” Zeon spread his arms. “Sit down, I'll make some tea.” 

Oleg watched him fussing around the stove. So homey, in a simple light T-shirt and sweatpants, slightly dishevelled, with traces of flour on one of the wings. The kitchen was cramped but cosy, with flowers on the windowsill, colourful pot holders hanging on hooks, and a family photo pinned to the refrigerator door, where Zeon was captured with his parents and sister. 

Everything here was cosy, and he desperately did not fit in, sitting with an unnaturally straight back and suddenly not knowing what to say. 

“So how did you get here? How do you like the portal? I was a bit scared the first time,” asked Zeon, standing with his back to him, while taking two mugs from the shelf.  

“Everything went fine. I arrived yesterday, actually. I—” the words finally came. He got up from his chair, went up to Zeon and carefully hugged him from behind, resting his chin on his shoulder. Zeon, who was reaching for the teapot at that moment, froze in place, lowering his hand. “I missed you. I'm glad I'm here.” 

“Do you want me to melt right here or what,” he muttered embarrassedly, covering the arms hugging him with his warm palm. “Let me tell and show you later how glad I am to see you again. I have some… plans for you, and I'm not going to let you out of this flat until I put them into action.”  

“Huh, well, now I'm intrigued.” 

“But first, you'll let me make the tea before the water gets cold, and tell me what you were doing here all day yesterday. I thought we agreed on today, did you mix up the dates?” 

Oleg had to let him go, but the conversation went easier after that, and the meat pies were great. Oleg told him how he had wandered around the city the day before and what he had seen. Zeon was chatting about various little things, showed him his plant collection up close, mentioned that he should introduce Oleg to his sister (“I think you’ll like each other, you’re a bit similar”), that there were a couple of beautiful places in the area where they could go together… It had already got dark outside.  

“And this is where I sleep,” he said, opening the door on the left. The bedroom was small, like everything else in this flat, and most of it was taken up by a wardrobe and a double bed. “You’ll stay the night with me, right?” 

“I recall that you threatened not to let me out of here until you did something to me,” Oleg reminded him playfully. “It looks like I have no choice. Just let me use your shower first, and then you can do whatever you want.” 

“Sure, just let me go first, I'll get you a fresh towel. Do you need anything else? Some clothes, maybe? I can share.” 

“No, I have everything I need with me.” 

Zeon chuckled meaningfully and left. He still hadn't got used to the fact that he was dealing with a man who thought everything through and prepared for everything. No matter, he'll get used to it, Oleg thought. He also had some plans for the future. 

When all the preparations were finished, and he sat down on the bed next to Zeon, wearing only the shorts he'd brought from home, Zeon, firstly, just stared at him with all his eyes, and secondly, he blushed. Oleg smiled innocently at him. Finally, Zeon found something to say: “You know, after I refused to sleep with you in Torigoth, I later wondered if I was a fool, and if I would regret it. It seems that I am such a fool after all.”  

“If I guess your plans right, then I still have nothing against it. But if you are going to tell me about some other wonders of the plant world for half the night, then I'll gladly listen, but first I'll take a T-shirt out of my bag—”  

“Come here,” Zeon pulled him towards himself and silenced him in the simplest and most effective way for such cases: by kissing him on the lips.  

A little later, Oleg discovered that he was not the only one who had prepared for such a turn of events.  

...The first thing Zeon said to him after was: “Don't leave. Stay. If you leave, I'll drop everything myself and go to Alrest after you, I'm not kidding.”

The first thing he said to Ashera after was: “Want me to stay or leave?” 

"You'll have to go, no offence, I just have things to do in the morning, need to get some sleep. At least you won't have to look at my mess," she waved her hand vaguely, gesturing to the dark room around, "and I'm not the nicest person in Bionis until I've had my morning coffee, so you won't lose anything. Okay?"

"Got it. No problem."

Types Of Fae

The realm of the Fae is vast and diverse, with countless variations across different cultures and mythologies. Here's a comprehensive list of some of the most common types of faeries, along with additional details about their characteristics and folklore. This is by no means a complete list, but it should give you a pretty good idea of the types of faeries that exist. If you want information about interacting with the Fae check out this post.

• Brownies: These helpful household spirits are often depicted as small, wiry creatures with long ears. They are known for their industrious nature, performing chores like cleaning, cooking, and tending to livestock. However, they can also be quite mischievous, playing pranks on those who neglect their needs.

• Pixies: Small and playful, pixies are known for their love of mischief and pranks. They are often associated with the air and are said to inhabit trees, flowers, and other natural wonders.

• Puca: A Celtic spirit and shape-shifter that can take various forms, including horses, rabbits, goats, and humans. It’s also known as Puck in English Folklore, is sometimes believed to use the light of Will o’ the Wisp to lure people into swamps or ditches and then flee with delight.

• Leprechauns: These Irish faeries are best known for their love of treasure and their skill in making shoes. They are often depicted as solitary figures, guarding their pots of gold at the end of rainbows.

They are often divided into two categories: the light elves, who are associated with beauty, grace, and harmony; and the dark elves, who are associated with darkness, magic, and secrecy.

• Goblins: Mischievous creatures, goblins are often associated with underground realms. They are known for their love of treasure, their skill in crafting, and their tendency to play tricks on humans.

Will O’Wisps are nature spirits that inhabit the elements of the earth. The name Will o’ the Wisp is derived from the Saxon word wile which means trickery or deceitfulness combined with the Swedish word Wisp, meaning a bundle of tinder.

Shadow is arguable one of the more complex characters in Elements of Chaos considering the fact that his alignment is a bit... foggy. For him and for everyone else as Shadow suffers from amnesia for a while, some things never change 😔

If anyone needs to watch a movie where it is a perfect depiction of Agni’s children please watch Drop Dead Fred.

Phoebe Cates is Krittika Taurus moon and Rik is PBP Aquarius dominant, and for me they act as the divine union of the masculine and feminine personalities of the deity Agni.
