Leon stims by shooting XD also, just by tapping his fingers and toes when he's not in a situation where shooting is good for anyone :3

You’re so right!!!! He probably plays with his fingers when he has to be quiet and will tap out little beats to calm himself down or when he has a nice little song in his head!

I like to think the merchant saw this stressed out little autistic man and went “I know just what will help” and made the shooting range just for him to shoot in a safe area all he wants along with reward incentives because he Deserves them

I was telling my friends that I was on the treadmill this morning at the gym, watching Criminal Minds (the Milwaukee episode). Just picture me, smiling like an idiot while running—because, you know, HOTCHNISS. (My friends are already well aware of my obsession, btw.)

One of them really said, “I never knew watching Criminal Minds could make you so happy.”

Yes. Yes, it does. Very much. Hahaha.

my supervisor AND my manager both aren't in today so I'm just practicing shit... im boored

[gatheringbones]

[“TUCK: Well, I was about to ask that actually, I was gonna ask how growing up around Mennonite and formerly Mennonite people informed the ways that you first had concepts of gender and gender roles and stuff?

CASEY: Oh, shit, what a great question! Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, so like, on my mother's side, specifically, my mother's side is more rural, more conservative, and a little more old school—my father's family belonged to a Mennonite denomination that was kind of a little more assimilated, a little more, kind of had more things in common with, like, U.S.-style evangelicism. And they were more urban. So I'm specifically talking about my mother's side of things here. They’re EMC, used to be the Kleine Gemeinde. Maybe like three people will know what that means, but that's for you! My mom's family was EMC, my dad's family was Mennonite Bretheren. There you go. Anyway, that was a branch of religion that practiced, you know, it was like very specific about traditional gender roles where things were very gender segregated. You know, my mom, for example, grew up where like, there were men who sat on one side of the church and women who sat on the other side. Like that kind of thing. I think it stopped when she was like, maybe a teenager or in her early 20s. It was before I was born, but it was like just before I was born.

But also, Mennonites practice unconditional pacifism, and there is this extremely… um, an underpinning of the religion is non-violence. And I mean, like, there's plenty of violence that happens in Mennonite communities, but there is still sort of a different attitude towards it, and a lot of the religion is centered around this idea of peace, in every kind of sense of the term, which obviously intersects a lot with questions of gender. So I would say that when I was growing up, I mean, like, Mennoniteism influenced a lot about like, gave me sort of this weird role models of peaceful masculinity. Like, that that was possible. Like, there's also plenty of role models that were not peaceful masculinity, but like they were there and they existed. Traditional Mennoniteism kind of like doesn't really fit in terms of like, our modern political parlance in all sorts of ways, because it comes with things like pacifism, because it has—some parts of it have this really like socialist ethoses. Like, there's this group of people called Hutterites that are an offshoot of Mennonites that literally believe that private property is a sin. Like it's an actual literal hell-worthy sin to have private property. You know, they're also an extraordinarily like, deathly homophobic society. And you can find lots of stuff from their expats that will talk to you about that. And also, it's like, I mean, I've been on Hutterite colonies, and they're like, literal, functional communes that are like, kind of amazing and beautiful. And also, the last time I was on one was when I was nine years old, because for obvious reasons.”]

so I just finished a 2 hour and 1 minute Joker War comic retelling and I am so lost because Alfred is SO alive in EMC and I had started the video going 'okay, this is what happened just a few months before canon of the story' and that's on me-- I should have realized that it could be and probably was not a 1 for 1 but oh man I am still just as lost about what is 'canon' and what isn't for EMC lmao-- I don't care at ALL about like comic canon, I just want to know what source material to reference so my fanfic of this fanfic that is boiling up inside my soul can be EMC Lore Accurate (and this is why I generally avoid comics because "canonical" is such a... loose...general term here)

Proud of u!!! I meanwhile haven't even read that comic haha.

My main canon for ECM is definitely pick 'n mix and largely Jason Todd-centric, so it includes:

Death in the Family

Red Hood: The lost Days

Under the Red Hood

Various elements from the Red Hood and the Outlaws (RHATO) comics (both the New 52 which came first, and the Rebirth run. N52 had Jason with Koriand'r and Roy Harper. Rebirth featured Artemis [his most recent love interest] and a Bizzarro clone)

Of note: the RHATO comics do include features that crossed over with larger plotlines within the Batfam, such as the Death Of the Family comic, and the Joker Wars comic (neither of which I've read).

ECM is non-canonical to Task Force Z and Batman: Urban Legends Vol 1 (though if you're interested the former is a pretty enjoyable comic run!), mostly because I read them after I started writing ECM and had already been developing Jason's character.

Of comics that aren't related to Jason but are also mostly ECM canon:

Robin War and We Are Robin (Duke lore galore there)

Batman and the Signal (further Duke lore)

the New 52 Animal Man comic run (very good. Probably one of the best comics that came out of the New 52 continuity)

An array of the OG Hellblazer comics by Jamie Delano (they're pretty great and anti-Thatcher which makes them even better in my books lol)

An array of the OG Swamp Thing comics by Alan Moore

Poison Ivy (2022-) vol 1-2

Much of the above isn't necessarily plot relevant to ECM, but was read A) because I was interested, and B) for actual research into characterisation or world-building (e.g. the Red and the Green are addressed in the Animal Man and Swamp Thing comics respectively).

Since Alfred's 'death' isn't addressed in any of the above comics (except Task Force Z, where Jason tosses a zombie Bane off a building in revenge for killing Alfred), I'm keeping that man alive. Maybe he died, maybe he didn't. The family Does Not Talk About It.

Damian has canonically died in the comics too, but IDK... There's a whole thing in that run where Bruce effectively re-traumatises Jason by taking him back to where he died and trying to get Jason to tell him how he came back to life and I just.... I don't want to make Bruce's actions towards Jason more irredeemable than they already are, you know?

I've been rewatching Blackrock, and something that I'm entirely sure was a coincidence but I think is really cool, is despite how much Rythian broods on it and how relaxed Duncan is, Duncan is way more prone to destruction and self-interest than Rythian is.

He has the morning star Rythian avoided because it was too recklessly dangerous, and he actually sets up a nuke under Rythian's base, whereas Rythian talked himself out of doing the same. Even how Duncan exploits EMC with the blaze powder exploit, compared to Rythian setting up dedicated rooms for his collectors and showing more respect to the magic.

Hi everyone! So this is my initial post for @lyranova's halloween event and surprise surprise it's not Nozelena (just because I have an art of them and it's waiting to be posted with my art halloween countdown, so no spoilers and no descriptions of them in this fic😂)

@blackclover-emc

Welcome to interact on this post 💕

Pairing: Natalia Silva (Nozel x OC next gen) x Eri Faust (Nacht x OC next gen)

Summary: The Silva familia arrives at the masquerade ball and Natalia wants to slip away from her slightly overprotective family members. Especially since she knows a certain red eyed Black Bull is somewhere in the crowd.

Word count: 966

Eri belongs to @purpled-royalty 💕

A masquerade ball had begun and the whole Silva familia was invited. Natalia shyly followed her parents and older brothers, her gaze skipping from one masked face to another. She herself had put on a white feathery mask, but she had low hopes of not being recognised. Silver hair basically screamed Silva. Her parents did not even try who they were with their costumes as for Natalia’s brothers… she was not going to mention them. 

As much as she loved her familia the masquerade seemed like an event where she could try to be on her own a bit, explore. Hopefully talk to people without three protective eagles following her around. Especially since she had an idea who she wanted to see that evening. 

Natalia turned away from the buffet tables her familia was headed to and quietly began walking away. 

“Natalia,” sharp as an edge of a knife voice stopped her in her tracks. 

She whined spinning on her heel. 

“Yes papa?”

“Where are you going?” Nozel narrowed his eyes, almost drilling them into her very soul. 

“Oi mi amor, why so tense?” Said Helena who’s arm was hooked over her husband’s. “We’re here to party!”

“I’ll excuse myself to that corner then,” Noureen sighed, pointing far away from the middle of the ballroom. 

“Do you want company?” Heinry hung his arm over his twin’s shoulder. 

Noureen just sighed and shook his head resigned as he and Heinry walked away. 

Nozel continued on looking expectantly at his daughter.

“Where are you going, hija?” Helena asked.

“To find…” Natalia mumbled, “prima Hermione!”

“Hermione!” Helena smiled. “When you see her tell her that tia Helena wants to see her,” she moved closer to her husband to poke him. “See mi amor? I told you, no boys.”

Natalia flushed. Of course there would be no boys. What were her parents even thinking? She completely did not hope to run into a certain red eyed Black Bull. She simply wanted to see her cousin.

Nozel narrowed his eyes at first at Natalia, but a moment later he looked over her shoulder. Natalia turned around to see a young nobleman scurrying away in haste. Her father had that effect. 

She felt a gentle touch on her cheek as her mother moved head to face her. Helena smiled softly and fixed Natalia’s mask, ruffling the feathers. 

“I’ll keep papa busy and you have fun with Hermione tonight,” Helena reached out her pinky, “but promise me Natalia if you feel sick, weak or have any trouble with your magic you find me, papa or your hermanos and let us know. Are we clear on that?”

“Crystal clear,” Natalia perked up, hooking her finger over her mother’s. 

She looked at her father. Natalia knew that he was just worried and he was doing his best to give her the space she needed to grow by herself, but she was also aware of how close they were. She could never deny the daddy’s girl allegations. 

“I’ll be alright papa,” she said. 

Nozel let out a slow breath. He nodded and allowed his lips to form a soft smile. 

“Perfect,” Helena smiled and walked back to her husband. “We’ll be… busy,” she grinned, hooking her arm over his. 

Natalia gave her parents a quick excited wave, before turning on her heel and heading towards where she thought she had seen her cousin. Hermione had to be hanging out with other young Black Bulls. This means Natalia would see more of her friends. 

She pushed herself between a few nobles, he skirt slightly lifted up so she would not trip but it was hard in such a crowd. Natalia was not used to being around this many people in such close proximity. Many of them were taller than her and she would not risk trying to use her risky magical powers to locate her cousin. 

Natalia was getting uncomfortable. Maybe she should have asked Heinry to come with her. Her brother always knew how to act around people and got along with everybody. He would just ask if anyone had seen the Black Bulls and she would be with them right away. 

No. Natalia could find her friends herself. She was a brave princess, a daughter of Nozel and Helena Silva, bearer of arcane story magic and a future advisor to her tio Wizard King Asta. 

She furrowed her silver brows and fixed her mask again. If the Bulls were not in that corner of the ballroom she was going to find them on the other side. Natalia pushed past more noblemen. She was so careful about not falling into any of them she did not notice a waiter with champagne coming from the other side. 

In the last moment Natalia jumped away by miracle not pushing the man and spilling champagne. However her heels did not give her the support she needed. Natalia wobbled. She was sure she was going to fall on the ground, ruin her dress and embarrass herself and the house of Silva. 

Suddenly she felt someone’s touch at her waist. In the last moment somebody caught her, lifted her up and once the flutter of her silver hair stopped she was able to look at her savior. 

A pair of beautiful red eyes met with her dark brown ones. The boy had a slightly darker complexion, soft black hair tied in a ponytail while a few strands of his bangs fell over his mask in a messy yet very cute way. 

The corners of his lips tugged up. Masks did not matter; she would recognise this smile everywhere. 

A bright pink blush spread over her cheeks as her heart picked up its pace. 

Here lies Natalia Acier Silva, passed away from embarrassment in the arms of her crush.

“Natalia?” Eri asked.

ough okay hi everyone i'm finally fucking posting callakirsch for lyra's 1k halloween event @blackclover-emc

interactions are welcome but don't feel pressured :3c

word count: 704 words

pairing: kirsch x oc (calla m. eucidot)

summary: calla and kirsch go to a halloween ball, and calla is nervous about it.

“For the last time, it’s not a costume party,” Calla said, getting out of the carriage. “There’s no need to dress like that, you know. You’re going to embarrass me in front of God and everyone at this god-damned ball.” 

“I look fabulous,” Kirsch said, delicately lifting his cloak as he followed his husband out into the snow. He was wearing a peacock themed mask, which would’ve been fine if he hadn’t themed the entire rest of his outfit around the bird. Calla took a deep breath in, and counted to ten, silently begging whatever God had informed his husband that it would be a good idea to dress like that would bless the rest of the party with that opinion. He tugged at his blue-green suit. The necktie had too much pattern. 

How the hell had Calla gotten roped into this?

It was a sort of crisp night, making the little magical lights outside the venue sparkle. Calla felt distinctly uncomfortable. He was nervous about noble venues, and the last time he’d been to one of these, it had been before Sherry was born, and he’d been too nervous with anticipation that someone would start talking or mention him, that he’d had no fun at all. 

Speaking of Sherry -

“Are you coming out, Sher?” Calla asked, and then his child stuck her head out of the carriage, grinning. Their copper-gold hair had been pulled into a low braid, threaded with peacock feathers and he had managed a very fancy suit-dress combination. 

“You look very nice,” he said, and kissed his child on the cheek. She giggled. “Very fancy.” 

“Thanks, Dad. Why are we dressed as peacocks again?” Sherry asked, and Kirsch lit up. 

“Well, I’m the squad captain,” Kirsch said. “We have to represent the Squad, of course!” 

“Dad was a Praying Mantis,” Sherry said. “Why don’t we dress like bugs?” 

“Hey, yeah,” Calla said. “Why didn't we dress as bugs? You wouldn't have had to dress up.” Kirsch gasped so loud that half the arrivals turned to look at them. 

Great start. Calla adjusted his bow tie. 

“I’m gonna go see if anyone cool’s in attendance,” Sherry said. “I’ll see you guys inside!” With that, they bustled off, lifting his skirts. Calla swallowed. 

“Are you nervous?” Kirsch whispered. 

“Now you gain emotional intelligence?” Calla whispered back. Kirsch sniffed and pulled his cape tighter around himself. “Well. None of my friends go here. It’s all a bunch of high society - and y’know, Sherry -”

“Sherry’s going to be fine,” Kirsch said, and offered an arm. Calla took it, clinging to his husband like a lifeline as they headed toward the venue. “And you’re with me, so you shouldn’t worry.” Kirsch tossed his hair. 

“God, right, I’m with you,” Calla bemoaned. “And you’re dressed like a bird. Nozel Silva is calling, he wants his aesthetic back.” 

“You are so cruel to me!” Kirsch gasped, and Calla laughed at the comical expression on his face. 

“You’ll survive my cruelty, y’know,” he said, and Kirsch huffed. 

“Nobles and royals are crossing the class divide more,” Kirsch said, and Calla bit his lip. “You’re not going to be out of place.” 

“I guess,” Calla said. “But y’know, I’m-” 

“You look like you fit in,” Kirsch said. “Because we match.” They did. Matching set. Plus, Calla loved teal and he didn't have to wear pink. “You’re going to do great. And if we make it through,” they made it to the top of the stairs, to the door. “We’ll go to one of the common realm’s parties next year.” 

“Deal,” Calla said, and leaned up for a kiss. Kirsch delivered, whipping a cocoon of blossoms around them - meant for privacy but just drawing more attention to the both of them. The gesture was nice. 

“Mr. and Mr. Vermillion?” the poor doorman said, and Kirsch dissolved the cocoon, holding out their invitations with his free hand. 

“Sorry about him,” Calla said. “It’s Kirsch-” Kirsch gasped again, and Calla squeezed his husband’s arm. 

“Our child’s inside,” he finished. 

“Welcome to the party,” the doorman said, and held open the door. Kirsch smiled at him, and Calla swallowed, took a deep breath, and smiled back. 

I’m going to have a good time.

Hi hi, it's been a while! I'll be joining the lovely Lyra's 1k halloween event, for @blackclover-emc

Interactions are of course welcome!

Summary: A couple of eagles make their entrance and Briar reminisces on holidays of old. Naturally their children make an apperance.

Pairings: Briar (oc) x Nozel

Briars dress, Nozel's outfit, Avalinia's outfit, Nymphadora's outfit, Mikhail's outfit, Aoife, Delphine

Elegant gowns and lovely suits filed into the grand castle that served as the venue for this evening's party. With decorative pumpkins lining the stairway up into wide open doors where wark orange light could be seen and soft music floated out into the open air. The patrons were mostly nobles, but those with their connections were not denied entry, dressed in elegant gowns and masks.

A masquerade themed ball likely in honor of the spirit of halloween. Many were easy to recognize despite the masks and gowns and others went out of their way to be unrecognized. But no matter how hard some tried it wouldn't matter, some people just had that air about them that let others know exactly who they were.

A man in a silver embroidered tux, reaching a hand out to take a woman's hand, helping her down from the silver carriage he had concocted for his family to take. His silver hair was easily visible over the blue mask he wore to hide his face, but the braid was unmistakable. The woman, as she stepped down, had her long chestnut colored hair pulled into a tight braid that wrapped around the back of her head. She wore a silver mask, matching her partner's attire, and her dress stood out against the many elegant ball gowns. It was tight fitted and flowy, glittery with sheer materials, covered up by a soft looking fur coat she wore around her elbows. 

As she stepped down and looked up at her husband, the pair undoubtedly gave off a regal and noble air, some couldn't help but stare…

Until a boy practically threw himself from the carriage and out into the open, arms wide.

“Happy Halloween!” Mikhail cheered happily before running right for the stairs. “I hope Alice is attending, I must have her first dance!!”

“Mikhail!” Avalinia was quick to scurry after her little brother, lifting her dress so she could climb from the carriage and rush after him. “Be careful!”

“You're one to talk.” Nymphadora sighed as she too had to follow her siblings. “Sorry dad.” She gave Nozel a courtesy before hurrying after the pair.

Nozel looked less than pleased, mouth already opening to try and tell his daughters (mostly Ava) not to be running like that but little hands at his coat tails drew his attention instead.

Purple and cream colored eyes stared up at him. Two girls so close in age many don't even realize one is older than the other.

“Can we go play?” Aoife asked, her younger sister Delphine was clinging to her too. Purple eyes wide with excitement.

Nozel let out a soft sigh. “Make sure you're with your siblings at all times.”

The girls let out excited squeals before rushing off eagerly.

Nozel huffed again, already abandoned by his children. Not all of his children had come. Some were too young, and the Fairy children had offered to stay home with them to have their own celebration.

"Maybe I can tell a scary story or two." Leolai had said with a grin on her face, it didnt help that Ceili looked just as eager to cause mischief.

But he would worry about his daughters at the party all night, and he knew it. Not only because of Ava's health but how he KNEW he had daughters that were all lovely and some foolish boy would ask them for a dance and-

“My bird.”

A steady but gentle tone pulled the Silva head from his spiraling thoughts and he turned back to his wife. Even with half of her face hidden behind a jeweled silver mask, her peach colored eyes could calm him (or stress him) with just a glance. He could get lost in them.

“They will be alright.” Briar lifted her hand to gently caress his cheek with her knuckles. His skin felt warm in the cool autumn air from just that soft touch.

“I know.” He said. Pausing for a moment only to say it again, much more relaxed this time. “I know.”

Briar smiled at him, soft and rare, as she slid her arms around his and the pair began to walk towards the party entryway.

“Were you serious before?” Nozel asked suddenly. Briar quirked a brow at him, a sign to elaborate. “You've never been to a halloween Celebration?”

“Oh, well I wouldn't say that.” She hummed slightly. “I've never participated in one here in Clover. I was always too busy.”

“Locked away in your bird cage.” Nozel teased. His phrasing for her office down in the magical research division.

She bumped her shoulder into his, a playful gesture. “I had better things to do than drink and dance to slow, boring, songs.”

“Oh? This is boring is it?” Nozel asked, a smile in his tone even if it wasn't on his face.

“Certainly.” Braid stuck her nose up. “Back in my day…ah….” She faltered, realizing how old her words made her seem (even if it was accurate). But she quickly shook it off and continued. “It was simply “Hallows Eve”, and it was a night where, supposedly, Devils could come forth from their realm into this one. And so you wore masks and dressed up to disguise yourself, lest they snatch you away, never to be seen again.”

Nozel almost looked horrified. “Your people celebrated THAT?”

“It wasn't a celebration, it was an excuse to be silly or scary.” she huffed, pouting now. “You dressed in fun outfits, danced around a bonfire, told tall tales, ran through wheat fields or got lost in a maze. Singing and dancing to music that made you want to jump and twirl your skirt… I remember when Cinderella and I would constantly try to scare one another.” 

She was trying not to get lost in far away memories of bobbing for apples as a young fae or chasing people around with spooky masks on. Pulling pranks…

“Sounds like something the people of the common realm would be doing right about now.” Nozel huffed, he almost sounded disgusted at the idea.

“Can't we go spend the evening there then?” Briar whined and Nozel looked at her so horrified she couldn't help but laugh. “I jest, my bird, I jest!”

“Thank god for that…” Nozel muttered, sighing with relief. “But where did the devil's tale come from if all you did was party like barbarians?”

Briar pulled herself from him, leaving Nozel's side cold and unhappy. She lifted her dress enough to hurry up the last few steps before turning to him. The orange glow of the party behind her made her look ethereal.

“All folktales come from truth, my bird.” She said with a grin before hurrying into the room.

Nozel was stunned for a moment, her words sinking in. Before he could panic over the possibility of some Devil showing up he quickly chased after his wife. He knew if he lost her now he would certainly never see her till the morning.

The room was decorated fantastically. Magic was used to make decorations animate or float around. Small, carved, pumpkins danced up and down to the flow of the music above the crowd of dancers, candles flickered along the edges of the room where tables were laiden with a variety of foods and drinks. He could spot Delphine chasing a fake bat that fluttered around with magic while Nymphadora chased her, scolding her for running in a dress.

Briar, thankfully, was not far from the entrance. Her gaze was looking up and around at the decorations of cobwebs and spiders. Fun shapes and images being created in silky webbing every couple of minutes.

“We should host our own party next year.” Briar decided with a nod. “But with a little fairy flare.”

“Please, my thorn, do not set up a bonfire in the gardens.” Nozel pleaded, returning to her side with a hand on her back.

“I would never.” she said firmly. “but even without it, I'm certain some people would enjoy the party I could host.” She lifted a hand to her chin in thought, a playful smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. “A murder mystery perhaps…”

“You have a whole year to think about it, my love.” Nozel gently guided her away from the entryway and into the crowd. Music danced around them, as did the people.

“You are right.” Briar hummed. “We should enjoy the now.” She lifted her head to try and look up and above the crowd. So many people to see, and activities to find. Where oh where could they possibly start…

A Halloween Ball to Remember

Hiya guys! This is my initial post for my 1k/Halloween event for @blackclover-emc !

I welcome interactions in this post 🥰!

Summary: Just some small talk and maybe a bit of teasing and joking as they go into the ball to meet some people! Also brief mention of their children and of Zera (my other OC)

Pairing: Yuno x Neva (OC)

Yuno’s Suit Neva’s Dress

Word Count: 934

————

“ Remind me again why we were attending this ball?” Yuno asked his wife, Neva, as the pair walked up to the Clover Castle.

“ Because it’s good to maintain our international relations with Clover,” Neva replied with a small smile as her gaze shifted to her left.

Yuno raised a skeptical brow.

“ So it’s not because Zera convinced you to come and ‘have fun’?” Yuno asked, and he watched as her gaze shifted away and a very small pout appeared on her face.

“ It wasn’t just because of that; Kya also made a convincing argument for us to attend the ball.” Neva muttered.

Yuno slowly shook his head as a soft sigh escaped his lips; of course Kya, their youngest daughter, would make a convincing argument. She loved any excuse to come to Clover to be with her family and friends, and this Halloween Ball was a perfect example of that.

But as he gazed down at his beautifully dressed wife, with her long, flowing purple dress and her platinum blonde hair elegantly styled in a loose braid with small diamonds weaving through it…he couldn’t help but think that maybe coming to this ball wasn’t such a bad idea.

“ You’re thinking again,” Neva suddenly said in an amused tone, which pulled Yuno out of his thoughts.

“ Hm? How did you know that?” He asked with a confused frown, and she let out a soft giggle.

“ Yuno, we’ve been married for over a decade now; I probably know you as well as I know myself.” She replied.

Yuno smirked a bit and slightly raised his brow in curiosity.

“ Is that so? Then tell me; what was I thinking about?” He challenged as he looked down at Neva, who hummed in thought for a moment.

“ You were thinking about how beautiful I am tonight, right?” She asked playfully as the two stopped and stood in front of the doorway that led to the loud and bustling ballroom full of people.

Yuno stared at her in surprise.

“ How did you…?” He asked, and a small frown appeared on his face again when she giggled.

Neva slowly walked up to him, glanced around the area, before gently placing her hands on either side of his face.

“ Like I said, I know you as well as I know myself,” She leaned forward and placed a sweet, gentle kiss against his lips.

Yuno reciprocated her kiss, and as he pulled away he smirked a bit.

“ So, you were also thinking about how beautiful you looked?” He playfully joked.

He watched with an amused glint in his eyes as Neva narrowed her gaze and lightly shoved his shoulder.

“ Absolutely not!” She exclaimed as she crossed her arms.

“ I was thinking about how handsome you looked tonight,” She told him as her purple eyes looked her husband up and down in his white and green suit. “ And how much fun you seem to already be having even though we haven’t even entered the ball yet.”

Yuno’s eyes narrowed at her.

“ I’m not having fun.” He told her in his usual deadpan tone, making her giggle in response.

“ You could’ve fooled me.”

She let out another giggle as she leaned up and placed another chaste kiss against his lips.

“ So, are you ready to go in and have some actual fun?” Neva asked with a slightly raised brow as she reached up and fixed Yuno’s hair a bit.

He slowly nodded as a quiet sigh escaped him.

“ I guess so.” He replied, causing her to playfully shove him again.

She took Yuno’s outstretched arm, and the two turned before walking into the loud and bustling ballroom.

Pumpkins, fake bats, and fake spider webs hung all across the grand, gold ballroom. Fake skeletons and ghosts were hung on the wall or were stood in various corners; along the side of one wall stood various tables lined with Halloween themed food, drink, and desserts, while on the other wall there were tables for guests to sit at and enjoy their meals or to just stand around and talk in.

But in the center of the room was a vast space full of people laughing and dancing the night away.

As the couple walked down the staircase they could see various familiar faces as well as some new ones. The Clover Kingdom really did go all out for this ball!

“ Your Highnesses, if you would please each take a mask.” A man dressed in an old styled butler’s uniform said as he held out a tray full of different colored masks.

It was a masquerade ball it seemed…

Without hesitation Yuno reached out for a beautiful purple mask, and he watched as his wife reached out and picked up a green one.

As the butler walked away, Neva couldn’t help but smile.

“ It seems we both know each other well,” She said with a small smile.

“ It’s like you said, we know each other as well as we know ourselves.” Yuno replied softly as he held out the purple mask towards her face.

He quickly put it on her and gently tied the white ribbons around the back of her head, being very careful not to mess her hair up, and when he was done he turned around and let Neva do the same with his mask.

“ So, shall we get something to drink and possibly mingle with some of the other guests?” She asked as she linked her arm through her husbands.

With a small nod, the two began to make their way to the refreshments; both curious as to who they may possibly meet that evening…

Can u tell me about your Moss/Creeper lore

absolutely! so basically my idea is that on EMC, (Earth of Meters Cubed, the name the Minecraft planet has in my convoluted quadruple-crossover fanfiction,) there is no such thing as moss, like what grows on sunny rocks and forest floors and just sits there (side note: I'm not sure why I came up with this when mossy cobblestone and lush caves... exist. just roll with it.) instead, all species of moss are sentient creatures called Mosses.

their bodies are pretty much clumps/tangled strands of moss, aside from things like eyes and brains and stuff, but it's all still plant matter. Mosses also don't have any more explosive capabilities than their real-world equivalents.

from there, the place where Creepers come in is not a far leap in logic away:

Creepers are just undead Mosses. some, but probably not species can explode, probably from some kind of combustible substance produced during decomposition, or maybe pressurized gasses or sporophytes or something.

Mosses generally live in warm, shaded places, sometimes in underground burrows, and practically never interact with other intelligent races. they're seen as some kind of wild people, I guess. (at least until the quadruple-crossover part of the story happens.)

uh. I think that's just about all. they have arms? kinda? it's more like they can control individual strands of their bodies. like this:

whatever strands they regularly use as limbs, they usually keep tucked into the tangle.

well anyway that's probably enough Moss lore to tide you over for now. thanks for the ask! I do enjoy talking about my imaginary guys (〃＾▽＾〃)

The best Rory Flanagan ships, source: it wasn’t necessary

1. Rory Flanagan/Sam Evans (Flanevans,Sory)

Easily the best one argue with the wall

They’re just soooooooo perfect together

They were totally flirting in EMC (3x09)

Also they were the first couple that I read a fanfiction of

I could spend hours just talking about them

I seriously recommend reading this fanfic, it’s not completed but it’s perfect

2. Rory Flanagan/Finn Hudson (Fludson)

The second best, only because they didn’t flirt on a Christmas ep

You can’t convince me that Rory didn’t totally had a crush on Finn when they first met

They deserved a duet together😔

3. Rory Flanagan/Sebastian Smythe (Sebory/Flythe)

The first BIG rarepair, so rare I didn’t even find a single cringy edit on Pinterest

Okay so there was this one fanfic were Rory stayed after season 3 and Sebastian transfers to McKinley and he’s like totally in love with Rory and the fanfic never got finished but I’m pretty sure they would’ve become a couple

4. Rory Flanagan/Artie Abrams (Flabrams)

Enemies to lovers if I may

THE TENSION IM SORRYY?????

Sugar’s lesbian anyways so💁‍♂️

Also all ships at this point are M/M cause I’m gay so i like them more

5. Rory Flanagan/Tina Cohen-Chang (Tory)

The first straight ship on this list

Tina has this goth bi energy that makes her look good with everyone she’s paired with

However I like gay Rory more than bi Rory so…

6. Rory Flanagan/Sugar Motta (Flamotta)

His only canon pairing how sad

I like them together but no one beats those ones👆

Also I like lesbian Sugar and gay Rory more so

7. Rory Flanagan/Noah Puckerman (Puckory)

Bad boy and weird Irish boy? I’m on it!!!

Puck is the most shippable character ever literally (almost) every ship with him is good

Also Rory is really cute and I can see him with every person

8. Rory Flanagan/Quinn Fabray (Flabray)

Me when two characters that never interacted before sit next to each other:😍

That’s it

9. Rory Flanagan/Joe Hart (Flanhart)

Of course I have to ship the two newbies, it wouldn’t be me other wise

Joe is a really interesting case, he’s like the post-modern jesus so you would assume that he’s the straightest man ever

Except he isn’t, 1- he’s Christian, 2- he’s a teenager, 3- he’s in the glee club, which means that he has the gay gene

The rainbow was god’s promise after all💁‍♂️

10. Rory Flanagan/Brittany Pierce (Flapierce)

While I’m not the biggest Brittany enjoyer I did found them cute together

You know in like the 4 scenes they had together

In conclusion: Rory is the best character ever

[jaffafactory2]

I am once again sounding like a dweeb but i am emboldened by the consistent regular interaction i get here which delights me because i feel like we are 🌎 connecting

I think 💭 we should roleplay* together. I think we should all make yog ocs and play toys

* roleplay meaning whatever you want it to. I like to lump in "just talking about hypotheticals in casual convo" in too. Writing characters with connections. Etc

How do you think your Yog would react to 🕊 Beau the traveling salesmage who has several full fledged EMC exploit machines and scams players on tekkit and is a weird loanshark. Guy who knows a guy who knows a guy. He acts very innocent

Inside the World of Electronics Manufacturing: How the Devices You Love Are Built

Every smartphone, smart appliance, and electric vehicle you rely on begins its journey inside the intricate world of electronics manufacturing companies. These firms are the hidden force behind the global tech industry, turning complex designs into physical products that power our modern lives.

With the rise of automation, smart devices, and increasing global demand, electronics manufacturing has become a cornerstone of modern industry. And when we talk about scaling this revolution, one country is quickly taking center stage—India. In this article, we explore what electronics manufacturing is, how it works, and why electronics manufacturing companies in India are becoming critical players on the world stage.

Understanding Electronics Manufacturing

Electronics manufacturing is the process of producing electronic devices through the design, assembly, and testing of components like printed circuit boards (PCBs), semiconductors, sensors, and microprocessors. These components are integrated into everything from smartphones and laptops to medical devices and aerospace systems.

Whether you're using a smartwatch, a home security system, or a connected car, your experience is made possible by the precision and efficiency of electronics manufacturing companies.

What Do Electronics Manufacturing Companies Do?

Modern electronics manufacturing companies are more than assembly lines. They offer comprehensive end-to-end solutions that support a product’s journey from idea to market-ready product. Their key services include:

Product design and engineering

Component sourcing and supply chain management

PCB fabrication and SMT/THT assembly

Prototyping and rapid iteration

Testing, inspection, and certification

Box build and final integration

These services ensure that clients—from startups to Fortune 500 firms—can rely on their manufacturing partners for both quality and scalability.

India’s Rise as a Global Electronics Manufacturing Hub
