Care to share some facts about the ROs?

Firstly I would like to say sorry for the late response but to answer your question here are some fun facts about the ROs

Mira: Mira is one of the least trusting ROs her whole route will involve the severity of her trust issues and I would say it is one of if not thee most angst filled routes. For a true fun fact Mira is related to one of the ROs, it is not Terrene.

Alethea: Alethea values freedom above all else and does not like feeling obligated to anything or anyone again this will come up in her route, also Alethea is the reason the MC was able to find an in into well the castle.

The Knight: The knight’s is a very closed off person their route will be very slow burn, depending on what job MC ends up getting at the castle it can progress faster however. Also don’t tell anyone but The Knight is a fan of Alethea’s music and secretly enjoys attending banquets and balls with Mira because it means that Alethea will most likely be playing there.

Eliseo: Eliseo has been best friends with the MC since the death of MC’s family and would do anything for MC I mean the true definition of a ride or die definitely the least angst filled route. Eliseo also has an army of stray cats that he shares ownership of with Alethea and MC (if MC so wishes)

Terrene: Terrene is a master at strategies and MC is currently at the heart of her plan, yet she cannot risk anything more than a symbiotic relationship or can she? Terrene has a love for swans and is often times seen providing the wild ones in the royal garden with food when no one is looking so that they will return to the garden again.

???: honestly I can’t say any serious shit without it being spoiler territory but I will give y'all a little something and say they love snow.

[cheerstotheelites-if]

Humans from a young age have the natural incline towards wanting to be acknowledged by others. This inclination doesn't stop even when death is knocking on their door. What would the ROs want their legacy to be? How do they want to be remembered?



Weylyn: Weylyn's a simple guy, and he likes the simpler things in life, so he wouldn't mind dying as a good person to everyone he holds dearly.

Fleur: Just a normal girl who lived a good life. She doesn't want a grand legacy like her father pushes her to have, unfortunately for him.

Zephyrine: Of course, well known and loved by all. Probably as a famous celebrity or an internet influencer, but realistically, just well known by the normal folks she knows and loves.

Eliseo: Certainly as a magazine cover boy, or a famous billionaire like Bruce Wayne. He's got the looks, the personality, the charisma, and the growing riches.

Cooper: He hasn't really thought that far because of... reasons, but if you ask him now, probably an overlord with a skeleton army. Yes, he's serious about the skeleton army.

Ophelia: She hasn't put much thought about it, because legacies are something she's iffy about, but she wouldn't mind dying as a famous horror artist.

Jasiel: A survivor. No, he will not elaborate why no matter how many times you pry him to open up.

i only got eyes for you

col. alejandro vargas

cw: smut/pwp, protective!alejandro (borderline possessive), body worship, tender sex, missionary position

bunny says: like the fic? leave a comment! really like the fic? suggest your own. i'm always opened to new ideas <3

"do i scare you, dove?" he asked as he hand trailed up your thigh, pushing up the rather short skirt you wore. his dark eyes met yours as he smiled, "i've done a lot of bad things for the sake of safety."

you sat down in his lap and cupped his face tenderly, there was a small buzz in your head from the feeling of your lover's broad hand on your thigh. you leaned in close to him and replied, "alejandro. you're a good man, you could never convince me otherwise. i'm not scared of you."

he reached for your hair and combed his fingers through it, "good." he smiled then pulled you gently to his lips.

-

you knew that alejandro was a good man. he was protective in a way that some would view as alarming. at times it put him at odds with himself, was he keeping you trapped like a bird?

but if something happened to you.

the idea of losing you had him double checking the locks before bed. he left extra kisses on your neck before he left for missions. and always came home with flowers.

you met him by chance, you were in university in the city he was stationed at. you just thought he was a charming man, until you found his id in his wallet the next morning. you had slept with a special operative. he caught you with his wallet in your hand, for a moment you thought that he was going to pull out some fighting moves and knock you out... or worse.

"i guess you found my little secret. i lied about my name. it's not eliseo." he shrugged, "can't be going around and giving away my identity, even to pretty girls." he closed the gap between you two, he held onto your chin and looked at you, "but i am curious how alejandro sounds on your tongue."

i mean what were you supposed to do, not invite him for breakfast. after that it felt like your two lives sort of melded together. he came home from long grueling missions and would just lie on top of you. he wanted to make sure that his woman was safe till his return.

"no one else touched you, right?" he asked lowly as his hands ran up and down your arms.

you squirmed occasionally in his touch and replied, "not a soul. i'd never want anyone else alejandro. i thought about you every day." then you started to slowly kiss him.

he made a soft noise against you as his calloused hands roamed up the front of your sleeping shirt. you're the one he came home too, the woman he'd go through hell for.

and what a beautiful woman you were. it was why he worried so much about other men getting their hands on you. you were his slice of heaven and would bend the earth to make sure that you stayed that way.

call him possessive, but to lose someone so precious would turn him into a man who could not be contained by any means. so as his hands trailed your stomach, his heated gaze on you, you felt under his control.

"alejandro." you said softly.

he kissed you once more and toyed with your breast under your shirt. he heard you soft noise in your kiss then pulled away and looked down at you, "yes, my dove." both hands were still under your shirt, he was touching you gently.

"did you miss me?" you pouted.

he smiled softly and kissed you on the forehead, "every second we were apart it felt like hours." he slowly pulled the shirt over your head and exposed your breasts to him.

he kissed you once more as he started to work on his pants, which he kicked to the bottom of the bed, his hands then hooked into the waistband of your sweatpants before they were off too. in a tussle on the bed, you were both stripped on your clothes.

alejandro's cock was quite impressive. he chuckled and told you he was just "average" but you were certain that "average" didn't feel like it was in the back of your throat every time he fucked you.

he gazed down at you, "you'd tell me if anyone tried to touch you, right?" he leaned in once more, your noses almost touching. his energy was almost intimidating, it made you stomach twist in a good way.

he was feared, that was certain. he didn't get to where he was by being a pacifist. if he got his hands dirty, even for a good cause, it meant others got to stay clean. simple as that.

you both laid in bed together, where he kissed along your heated skin. he kissed along the hills and valleys of your body. the plushness under his hands as he held your hips. a goddess. a symbol of the divine feminine. the thought made him smile as he slowly kissed your breasts. he could almost feel your heartbeat.

"nothing will ever hurt you, my dove." he said softly as he gazed at you briefly before he pressed more kisses. he worshiped your body in ways that made his cock twitch.

that was why he found himself to be on the possessive side when it came to you. your name, location and other information was under a tight lock and key.

he pressed his head up against your stomach and held your hips for a moment. he exhaled deeply, "never leave me." he said out loud, but internally said, or i will have to find you.

sometimes it slipped out, the obsessive need to know that he'd never be without you. while you never noticed the intensity of what he was saying, it simply meant he could continue to pile on the security to keep his dove safe.

you ran your fingers through his dark hair and said, "alejandro. i would never, i love you too much." you watched him look up at you once more and take your hand off his hand to kiss it.

"then be good and let me take care of you." he let go and pulled away from you. he got between your legs, his cock at full attention. he rubbed it gently against the entrance of your slit. the wetness made a shiver run through him.

you reached out for him, but ended up with your hands buried in the covers. you loved him deeply, even if he could be off-putting. you labelled him as protective, even if your friends thought he was a little possessive. like who needed to check on the cameras in the house if it was just you there? but you shrugged it off, he just wanted you safe. what was wrong with that?

"are you ready, my dove." he said softly. your pussy was enticing to him, the feeling of your heat around his cock was like muscle memory, baked into his core.

you nodded, "i'm always ready for you."

he smirked. so eager, so soft and gentle. of course you fell for a man like him, you needed someone to protect you. keep you safe against a world that would take you limb from you. he leaned forward as pushed his cock deep inside of you with ease.

he chest was pressed against yours as he put his weight on you. kept you pinned down to the bed as he fucked your cunt. the sounds of your love making filled the room. your noises sounded angelic to him.

a paradise for his pleasure, the most beautiful woman in the world letting him rut his cock into you. he dug his nose into your hair as he held your hips. he moved against you, he could feel the racing of your heart.

he chuckled, "good girl. my good girl." as his grip tightened a little more. he continued to thrust into you, your bodies moved together in a rhythm that made both of you hot all over.

the kissing became sloppier as you felt your head begin to feel dizzy. despite the rush of hormones in your body, it still felt hazy as you partner held you tightly and fucked into your tight head.

he gave you soft words of praise as he grew hotter all over. his angel. there was no other woman like you, he just thought you were simply perfect. and nothing could ever convince him otherwise. he held onto your hips and thrusted up into you.

you wrapped your legs around him tightly as you moved up and down the bed. your cheeks felt flushed, pleasure was taking over. your hands soon roamed his back as you felt the strength of him.

"mine." he simply said. then went into for another searing kiss. the electricity between you two felt hot. there was a flame in your belly as you tried to meet his pace. he simply said close to you, "stay still, my dove. be good for me."

his voice sounded darker, laced with heavy pleasure as he began to pick up the pace. he watched your expression change the deeper you fell into lust.

you moaned out loud as you felt the rush through your body. with a few more heavy thrusts of his hips, you dug your nails into his back and tightened around him. your buried your head in his shoulder and climaxed.

he held onto you as tightly as he could and fucked you. it was good proper fucking as you started to fall from your orgasmic high. he kept a good grip on you as he finished inside of you.

"alejandro!" you whimpered as you felt the pace slow down.

he slowed to a still then let go of his tight grip on your body. he kept his eyes on your blissed out expression as he pulled out and laid next to you on the bed. he reached for your face and pulled you in for another kiss.

"good girl." he purred before he settled himself beside you and wrapped his arm around your shoulders. he kept you close as he came down from his own high, his cock still soaked in your wetness.

he kissed you a few more times before he simply gazed at you with warmth in his chest. you were his girl and nothing could ever break you two apart. he simply wouldn't let it happen.

and he'd make sure you never forget who your man was. the good, proper man he was. <3

I’ll take any of your fun facts this week!

Alright, Today You Learned about the Amphiptere!

[Don't ask me how to say that out loud.]

This was a type of dragon that became very popular to depict in European heraldry, though not as much as wyverns or cocktrices. It is, in essence, a snake with wings. The notion of winged snakes goes back to ancient Egypt and Biblical texts, though I don't know if there's a direct connection to the amphiptere.

The above illustration is the most commonly used one, and it's from Edmund Topsell's History of Serpents (page 701! Took me forever to find).

Interesting, the book Dragonology (which was made for fun, don't take it as a mythological source) classifies it as an American dragon, and suggests that Quetzalcoatl is a type of amphithere. How then it would appear in heraldry before contact with the New World then, I don't know.

It's also not too far off from the Cuélebre of Spanish mythology/folklore:

Carving is by Asturian artist Eliseo Nicolás Alonso.

So! Big wingyed snakeys! It's A Thing in the dragon world.

Long time lurker, saw your tag, go off about emmett and his gf im nosy.

thank you beloved i am kissing you if you so desire

ok. god. where do i start. ok so my oc Emmett is my newest dnd pc, he's. his life sucks so much.

my beautiful little guy had this lovely life on top of a mountain in the town of Annona, a quaint colorful place that is a bit of a tourist destination. His dad died about 8 years ago, right before his family adopted his little brother Eliseo, and so Emmett and Eliseo are really close to their mom Jazmin. They run a small restaurant together and importantly Emmett's dad was essentially the spiritual leader for the town for their goddess Mama Pallay (pal-lay), so losing him put the whole town in a bit of a tizzy. It wasn't said outloud that Emmett had to take his place but it certainly was implied, he just wasn't ready to take it up yet. Maybe someday, just not now.

Cue Marasmus, a little mushroom on the hillside that was plucked and sold at the farmers market, where Jazmin picked him up and served him to Emmett for dinner. She didn't know what would happen next, she really didn't and she's gonna seem like a bad guy but she isn't. Emmett ate this mushroom and it began to eat him alive, putting Emmett to sleep and walking and talking in his place until Emmett was barely conscious for months at a time.

Then one night at a congregation Emmett was about to feed a mushroom to his brother and it Woke Him Up, he wasn't asleep inside his body anymore. And he ran, he went home and packed his things as fast as he could only for his mom to block his way. And she knew that voice in his head, Marasmus, by name, begged Emmett to stay. Emmett escaped her grasped and ran away from home as far as he could, all while this voice in his head is yelling at him to turn back.

And he's been running ever since, while this awful thing possessing him tears him down and tells him he should feed people mushrooms that he doesn't understand the purpose of. He's done some dangerous things to get rid of this thing but nothing works, it always brings him back to life with more and more rot every time. So now he's a Pact of the Undead Warlock and hates every second of it

Then comes Yulissa, this lovely 6'6 deer firbolg who is so sweet to him. They run an errand together where she accidentally gets dunked into the ocean and Emmett offers her his gloves and she's immediately like. Oh. This man is so sweet. I think I'm a little in love with him. and Emmett (and me) is completely oblivious to this until later on he divulges some of his story and Yulissa promises she's here for him, he's not alone anymore, and he instantly falls in love against his better judgement. he has nothing he can give to her but she doesn't ask for anything other than to like her, not even love her just tolerate her and he can't help being head over heels for her

And now it turns out Yulissa is supposed to be a human sacrifice and over his already dead body will that happen, he's gone from so woe-is-me to I need to save her and I'll do anything it takes to get there, we will get our happy ending, I need her to see her worth just as she sees the worth in me. also they are purple and yellow bc i love complementary couples so much and they just AUGH

like he's basically a shambling corpse thats slowly rotting away and this person sees him and says 'I'm going to protect you, you've been through enough, let me help you' when all he's heard in his ear is consume consume consume i'm. i'm crazy about them. i could go on and on and on and i sure have i'm just having such a fun time with them. and it helps that the friend i'm playing in the space with is so fun and always has such brilliant ideas about them and we're just circling each other around this sweet little ship that could and i'm just having blast ok post over

[redacted-scp-antics]

English is not my main language, so... I will most likely make some mistakes (grammar etc.) but I will try my best. :>

I'm really nervous about this whole thing. I don't know how people will react to this blog. But I'm just going to yeet myself into cold water and see what happens.

Anyway, I created this blog because I wanted to see what it would be like to have my very own centered around a certain topic. This little blog will be focused on my own SCP canon plus the ocs in it. This includes the O5 council, agents and members from other GOI.

WARNING!! This blog will mention serious topics!! Some characters have dealt with bullying, homophobia and more!! Please be careful. I will try my best to tag posts like that include triggers.

Also I won't reveal my exact age but I am over 18 years old. So I would prefer that everyone who might interact with this blog is also an adult.

DNI (if you think I forgot something, please let me know):

- transphobes

- homophobes

- anti lgbtqia+ overall

- maps

- albeists

- racists

- anti oc x canon (seriously, people who do oc x canon are just people and if you think a ship is problematic you can calmly tell them)

Since this is my first ask blog, I still have to figure things out, I'm not an expert :3

For now anonymous asks are turned off, I might turn them on eventually.

Alright, enough chit-chat. Let's jump over to the SCP stuff .

First things first: This blog is indeed inspired by other similar blogs. Tumblr has some really cool blogs focused on SCP content.

Let me finally start talking a bit more about my canon:

1. The veil is NOT lifted.

2. The Foundation has a pretty chill relationship with the GOC and Serpent's Hand.

3. Their relationship with the Chaos Insurgency... well, it's complicated.

4. There are different humanoid species. This includes the Saints, Starborn and Stareater.

5. Most characters you might know from the wiki do not exist in this canon. However, who knows? We might actually encounter a Clef from another canon.

I... I'm going to drop a character list. Because I have a bunch of them, and a list might help you all keeping track. Also, all of the characters are adults.

[lvllns]

i got tagged by @rosebarsoap to do this funky fresh oc questionnaire!! thank u bb!! i'm gonna taaaag @malefiicarum @aragorngf @denerims @merry-harlowe @waspgrave @venusmages @kirnet @princesshoneytea and anyone else who would like to do this!!

favorite oc: xavier nicastro (misc) — he's my 6'5 built like a rugby prop baby boy covered in tattoos who rides a motorocycle. he's also a giant fucking sap when it comes to his boyfriend. rosie would know him best, and with the amount of things i have to say about this boy, it's no surprise he's my favorite.

newest oc: ophelia greer (misc) — she's not even that new but she is the newest. my pretty marine biologist turned waitress living in a tiny seaside town. she's sweet, she's soft, she's patient. every time i think i have her mostly figured out, i learn something new about her.

oldest oc: isseya mahariel (dragon age) — your honor that's my daughter. i've had her for...five? years? at this point i think. she's my fierce fighter, my warden-commander with a heart of gold.

meanest oc: lincoln cirillo (original work) — see, it's not that they're mean, per se, it's just that they're sick of eliseo's shit. they can be snappy, short, snarky. sometimes they maybe shoot first and ask questions later but can you blame them?

softest oc: kincaid anderson (misc) — it was a toss-up putting him here or smartest but. he has become softer than xavi is? somehow? an absolute gentle giant with endless patience, and a heart that's almost too big. he's kind, he's sweet.

most aloof/standoffish oc: wren (genshin impact) — wren's backstory is basically "oops! all trauma!" and it's turned them into a very quiet, very observant individual. it takes. a lot. to break through their uninterested exterior, and they would prefer most people keep their distance.

dumbest (affectionate) oc: bas darrow (misc) — this man could not be more of a himbo. runaway rich boy who becomes a pirate and knows......nothing. is he booksmart? to a degree. everything else? no fucking clue. easily flustered, easily taken advantage of when it comes to trading and things. he's......working on it.

smartest oc: sparrow moore (misc) — guess who got yeeted from vampire time and thrown into something better? they're mostly the same. smart, quiet, introspective. still my classics child with an arm covered in mythology tattoos with too many degrees for their own good.

oc i'd like to be friends with: emery caddell (original work) — quiet magical oddities shop employee who dresses like a history professor. they've got a dry sense of humor, a desire to help however they can, and they're just kind. they'd have all kinds of solid book recommendations tbh, and i want to pick their brain.

[clamorybus]

🍑🍅🍇

i'll do this for moira since i was just drawing her! :0 though jsyk she's an oc for an overally complex phone game so somethings i say are gonna sound out there ajdkskal

🍑 [PEACH] How do they show their kindness? How kind are they truly?

in general she's very pleasant; friendly and jovial (though she's in a slump at the start of her story). but it's hard to call her "kind", y'know? she can be quite selfish and up her own ass at times. i mean, she'll jump to a friend's defence, or help her dad with chores if asked, and she's polite to waitstaff and stuff, but she tends to put herself first.

🍅 [TOMATO] How misunderstood is your OC? In-universe or IRL

hmm...i think irl a lot of people would see her as overly emotional/mopey. in reality she's trying to get over a break up; she's had depression for about a decade but her recent break up has kicked it into overdrive, so it's taking awhile to dig herself out of her slump. and both irl and in-universe she's seen as impulsive. while she can be short-sighted, she isn't really impulsive. she only makes a decision when she thinks she has all the evidence she needs, though she doesn't always think through the implications of those decisions, if that makes sense. also because she likes fashion and the color pink, some people assume she's vane and/or shallow, which is far from the truth.

the GRAPES is going under a read more because it got WAY too long

🍇 [GRAPES] What's their circle of people/their species like? What dynamic would they be called?

With friends, she kinda The Emotional Rock. tbc she's not a Mom Friend or a The Therapist, she's just the friend with the least amount of drama going on so she's safe and relaxing to hang out with. she's also not afraid to call them out when they're being jerks and help give them some prospective. she's a very grounding presence for her friends.

At home though, she's the princess lol. she's not really bratty or anything, esp now that she's an adult, it just since she's an only child she's the focus of everyone's attention. she's also indulged quite a bit and is just under the line of being spoiled. she gets along well with all her family (aside from her maternal grandma, but Nana Candela doesn't get along with most people and has been divorced from her grandfather since she was 7 so it's fine lol).

She has a special bond with each of her household members though.

She was very close to her mom growing up. Her mother, Alyson, was a hobbyist seamstress and loved dressing her Ra-Ra as nicely as she could. She'd make her her baby clothes, her pjs, her halloween costumes, etc. When Moira was old enough, Alyson would have her help in the design process, helping with the sketches, picking out fabric, etc. And she eventually taught her how to sew, both by hand and machine. This fuelled Moira's love of fashion and design, which she later went to college for. It's an understatement that she was devastated by Alyson's passing.

She's close with her father Reuben too. He's not an artistic man, but they bonded over other things. He's the one who taught Moira to read and write, and would have her practice by having her dictate or transcribe letters for him. He also had a vast library she'd peruse through, both fiction and non. Though she's a different kind of bookworm these days. Hours would be spent talking about literature and life. Moira honestly has an easier time being open with her father. These days, Benito is a busy man. For last few years he's been the sole breadwinner for the family, thus he's often away at work. He still makes sure to call and check-in with Moira every day.

Last but not least is her maternal grandfather, Eliseo. She calls him "Granpapí". Benito had to move to NYC for work 17 years ago; since it was around that time his divorce was finalized, Eliseo made the move North with the Garridos. He and Moira have been close ever since. Like most grandparents, he's more playful and easy going with Moira than he was raising Alyson. It's a family in-joke that he's more like an older brother than a granddad. He'd often entertain her with tales of his childhood in Cuba and her mother's childhood in Florida. He'd sing her nursery rhymes, and she'd sing him the English songs she learned in school. He taught her how to play dominoes, cards, and cubilete. The only being Eliseo spoils more than Moira is the family cat, Teddy.

He can be quite old-fashioned though. While he's sympathic, he can't quite grasp how her mental illness affects her. "I know she's upset but she shouldn't lie in bed all day. Why can't she get up and help around the apartment?". Plus he feels she's being dramatic about her breaking up with her girlfriend, feeling that it wasn't a real relationship (despite it lasting nearly four years). He can definetely be ignorant but he deeply loves his granddaughter. He keeps an eye on her, making sure she eats enough and showers at least once a week.

Still, he wants her out of her fog and back to her old self. He's desperate enough that he gives her the Storybook; a bizarre magical artifact his great-great-grandfather found on the beach and passed through the generations. It allows a person to travel to other dimensions, both in history and in fiction, and become someone else. You can live entire lifetimes, from youth to dying in old age, and only a few hours in your orignal world pass. It can be dangerous however, and his daughter Alyson became so obsessed with traveling (and disconnected from herself) that she ended her own life.

He figures letting Moira travel won't lead to the same end though; he used the book in his youth and didn't become addicted, and only has minimal mental scars so he thinks Moira will be just fine. And that remains to be seen

Are there any fwb routes with any of the ROs ?

I do not plan as of right now to have a separate fwb route for any of the ROs however I would say Terrene, Alethea, and the knight would to some extent fall under the fwb category especially at the beginning of their routes. If you only want a fling though and not something that eventually will become serious you can have a one time fling with almost all of the ROs except for Mira and Eliseo.

⊰ a slip of emotion disrupted her calm features when she spotted the ethiopian king, appearing so nonchalant despite the trouble his furry child had caused . her voice carried an unsettling calmness when she spoke to the king’s guard elias ( whom she only met by accident but decided to bring with her as he certainly looked more threatening than she did ) , ordering him to stay beside her when she approached the guilty king. he looked peaceful, or simply more rested than she did, as shadows that had been there for more than days rimmed her dark eyes. “ your majesty. ” she greeted him, disregarding any other formalities as her hostility about the situation distracted her from trying to be polite. “ i need your coquettish pet to stay away from my swan romeo. ” her voice wavered with her anger, nails digging into soft palms as she tried to retreat to her usual calmness . eliseo asked her to try to make some friends and although she mostly ignored his advice, the ethiopian king came to her mind. back then . he seemed like a good person . after all, they shared the same fondness for animals. yet , and unsurprisingly he disappointed her . ripping the petals of what could have been a blossoming friendship. “ your pet is toying with my dear romeo’s feelings , my swan hasn’t touched her food for days. how are you planning on fixing this ? ”

How would the ros react to a flirty mc who, when the flirting gets returned, can't handle it, face going as red as a tomato?

I think I answered something similar to this before in the past. Don't remember the answers tho 💀

Weylyn: Honestly just surprised to see such a reaction coming from you. "Are... are you alright?"

Fleur: You swear you saw a smirk form on her face, but it just could be your imagination.

Zephyrine: "Not so tough now, are you?" Shit eating grin, and a smug look on her face. Her cheeks are dusted the faintest red though.

Eliseo: "Aw, dearest, you think you can outflirt me?" Just watches you fumble with a teasing glint in his eyes.

Cooper: Confused by such a reaction, brows furrowing. "Huh, and I thought Zephyrine was bad at handling flirts."

Ophelia: Yells out, "Feel what I feel!", with her face also beet red and extremely flustered.

(Douglas Booth, Cismale, he/him, 29) ** ♔ announcing BRUNO GIUSEPPE RINALDI,  THE CROWN PRINCE OF ITALY! in a recent portrait they seem to resemble DOUGLAS BOOTH. It is a miracle that HE survived the last five years and for that reason, they are FOR the kingdoms working together. reflecting on them now, they remind me of  A STOLEN KISS IN THE NIGHT, A FLAIR AND ELEGANCE SO RARE, RAISED CRYSTAL GOBLETS IN A GREAT HALL, AND A LARGE PARTY SPRAWLING ACROSS GREAT COURTYARDS AND GARDENS.  (Echo, he/him , 21, est).

“Vino rosso fa buon sangue” (red wine makes good blood).

i. From a young age, Bruno Rinaldi had always been told he would probably not be king. A fact he was always comfortable with. He never cared much for the politics of being royalty, but he never had a problem with the perks and the overindulgence that came with being a prince. 

ii. As a youth, he would often find himself in compromising positions, and his father would have to clean up his messes before the public could find out. This is a responsibility that was passed onto his brother, Eliseo, 8 years ago when their father passed away. Between petty crimes below what one would expect from royalty and forays with those considered to be peasants, the middle Rinaldi has been quite a handful.

iii. He believes that the title of Crown Prince is just an excuse hung over his head to keep him in line, but that never seems to stop him from partaking in some debauchery. Wherever Bruno goes, something is bound to happen. Whether it is a spontaneous and lavish party or minor transgressions, trouble seems to find its way to him.

iv. Bruno is all about family and loves his very much. Even though Eliseo can be a bit pushy, as is his right as King, Bruno respects him in a weird sort of way that only a brother could understand. The two still spend time together riding horses and if Bruno is lucky Eliseo might agree to host one of his parties and attend. Though with financial woes, the parties have been more of a well-kept secret from his brother. His little sister, Martina has gained his favor, for they seem to have the same outlook on the current situation and many other aspects of being Italy’s royalty. He is always there to lend Martina a hand if she asks, and is at her beck and call as a confidant. 

v. With the current situation, Bruno knows it means his brother will pressure him into marriage with some soon-to-be-Queen in order to produce an heir. Something that has only started in the past 4 years, regardless of Eliseo’s childhood gloating about how Bruno wouldn’t be king, it is constantly being dangled over his head that one day he might have to step up and rule Italy.

vi. When it comes to romance, Bruno is no stranger, he wants to find a nice prince to settle down in a modest castle with, in order to avoid the politics of the world (while he still can). He isn’t one to jump into a marriage for appearances or perks. He very much wants true love, regardless of what his duties as Crown Prince are. 

vii. Bruno enjoys large, boistrous gatherings; indulging in fine wines and debauchery, and having a good laugh. However, he does enjoy calm activities as well. Daytime activities one could witness Bruno partaking in are horseback riding, swimming in any body of water large enough to do so, and playing the piano.

“Noi non potremo avere perfetta vita senza amici” (we cannot have a perfect life without friends).

ELISEO MIJARES RIO, JR., AUGUSTO CADELINA LAGMAN, and FRANKLIN FAYLOGA YSAAC, Petitioners, -versus- COMMISSION ON ELECTIONS EN BANC, Respondent.

G.R. No. 273136

Ponente: MARQUEZ, J. Promulgated: Not specified in the document.

Facts:

Eliseo Mijares Rio, Jr., Augusto Cadelina Lagman, and Franklin Fayloga Ysaac (Rio, Jr. et al.) filed a petition seeking a writ of mandamus to compel the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) to implement its November 29, 2023 Resolution.

The November 29, 2023 Resolution stated that the COMELEC would "recount the ballots" to resolve issues raised by Rio, Jr. et al. regarding the 2022 elections. This resolution also disqualified Smartmatic Philippines, Inc. from participating in public bidding for elections.

The issues stemmed from alleged irregularities in the transmission and reception of election results in the system provided by Smartmatic for the May 9, 2022 Elections.

Rio, Jr. et al. initially sought a review of Smartmatic's qualifications and its potential disqualification from future election procurements.

The COMELEC Law Department initially found no legal basis to prohibit Smartmatic from bidding.

On January 19, 2024, Rio, Jr. et al. filed a motion seeking the opening and recount of at least 30 sealed ballot boxes in Sto. Tomas, Batangas, citing the November 29, 2023 Resolution. They proposed a manual recount procedure similar to that in Article XVIII, Section 206 of the Omnibus Election Code.

On February 12, 2024, Rio, Jr. et al. filed a reiterative motion because the COMELEC had not acted on their motion.

The COMELEC did not act on the motions for a recount for several months. On July 3, 2024, the COMELEC denied the motions stating the petitioners had abandoned their prayer for a recount.

Smartmatic was later allowed to participate in public bidding for elections after a separate decision by the Court.

Rio, Jr. et al. then filed a Petition for Mandamus before the Court, and later a Supplemental Petition which asked to convert their petition into a Petition for Certiorari.

Issues:

Whether the COMELEC has a ministerial duty to conduct a recount of ballots as stated in its November 29, 2023 Resolution, and whether a writ of mandamus can compel them to do so.

Whether the COMELEC committed grave abuse of discretion in denying the motion for a recount on July 3, 2024.

Whether the COMELEC's failure to act on the motions for a recount within the prescribed period constitutes official inaction.

Ruling:

Answer: The Supreme Court dismissed the Petition for Mandamus and noted the Supplemental Petition without action, holding that the COMELEC did not have a ministerial duty to conduct the recount and did not commit grave abuse of discretion in denying the motion for a recount. The Court did however, note the COMELEC's official inaction.

Legal Basis:

Writ of Mandamus: A writ of mandamus can compel a person or entity to perform a ministerial duty, not a discretionary one.

Ministerial Duty: A ministerial duty requires no exercise of discretion or judgment; it is a clear duty mandated by law.

Discretionary Duty: A discretionary duty involves the exercise of judgment and choice in performing an act.

COMELEC Rules of Procedure: Cases or matters submitted to the COMELEC en banc should be decided within 30 days from the date it is deemed submitted for decision.

Grave Abuse of Discretion: A grave abuse of discretion is the capricious or whimsical exercise of judgment.

Official Inaction: The neglect to perform an official duty or resolve a pending matter within the prescribed period.

Application:

The Court determined that the COMELEC's decision to conduct a recount, as stated in its November 29, 2023 Resolution, was discretionary, not ministerial. The resolution stated the COMELEC "may, upon Petitioner's instance, order the conduct of the recount...the procedure and extent of which to be determined".

The petitioners did not establish a clear legal right to a recount, and the manner of the recount was left to the discretion of the COMELEC.

The COMELEC's order denying the motion for a recount was not made with grave abuse of discretion because it was a valid exercise of its discretion based on the abandonment of the prayer of the petitioners in their motion and reiterative motion.

Although the COMELEC did not have a ministerial duty to conduct the recount, it did have a clear legal duty to resolve motions before it expeditiously. The COMELEC took an excessive amount of time (166 and 142 days respectively) to resolve the motion and reiterative motion, far exceeding the 30-day period prescribed in its own rules, which was noted by the court.

The Court stated that the COMELEC may be compelled by mandamus to resolve pending motions, but not to exercise its discretion in a certain way, such as granting or denying the ballot recount.

Conclusion:

The Supreme Court dismissed the Petition for Mandamus because Rio, Jr. et al. failed to prove that the COMELEC had a ministerial duty to conduct the recount and that they had a clear legal right to it. The Supplemental Petition was also noted without action because it was dependent on the Petition for Mandamus. The Court did find that the COMELEC was guilty of official inaction for not resolving the motion and reiterative motion within the prescribed period but was not ordered to act in a certain way, such as to grant or deny the ballot recount. The court stated that the COMELEC may be compelled by mandamus to resolve pending motions but not to exercise its discretion in a certain way.

Doctrine:

This case clarifies the distinction between ministerial and discretionary duties of a government body, particularly the COMELEC. It emphasizes that mandamus can only compel the performance of a ministerial duty, not a discretionary one. Furthermore, the case highlights that the COMELEC, while having discretion in certain matters, has a clear legal duty to resolve pending motions expeditiously, following its own rules of procedure. Finally, the case underscores the importance of establishing a clear legal right for a writ of mandamus to be issued.
