Prince’s Holiday - Adult Theme Party Epilogue

On the last night of the year.

The dinner party, with the fate of the world at stake, should’ve been heading towards a smooth finale.

Gilbert: I can’t stop eating your food, it’s delicious. 

Emma: Thank you, it’s makes me happy to see you eating non-stop.

Emma: I have a feeling that you’ve already had about 30 servings. 

Gilbert: That’s not enough.

Gilbert: But it’s a dinner party, and I feel bad that I’m the only one eating all the food.

Gilbert: Clavis, can you bring enough glasses and rose liqueur for everyone?

Clavis: Haha, enough for everyone?

Licht: !

Clavis: What if I say no?

Gilbert: The country will be destroyed, okay?

Clavis: Your jokes are so lame that I’m tired of hearing them.

Clavis: But, even if you kneel and bow to me, I won’t even think about doing it.

Luke: Look, I’ve brought it for you!

Licht: ?!

Clavis: Luke, why are you always such a slacker, but only at times like this are you so diligent?

Luke: Just to get the dinner over with, so I can relax. That’s it.

Gilbert: That’s my Luke. Thank you, you’re very thoughtful.

Yves: Prince Gilbert, if you want a drink, I’ll pour you one.

Gilbert: Do you mind not doing anything unnecessary?

Yves: There’s such a difference in treatment with Luke.

Gilbert: I want to thank the little rabbit for the food, and everyone who served and entertained. 

Gilbert: It wouldn’t make sense if you poured it?

Gilbert: I should tell you, it’s not every day that the Prince of Obsidian, pours some one a drink is it?

Gilbert: Here you go.

Licht & Clavis:………

Gilbert: Guys, don’t tell me you won’t drink the alcohol that I’ve poured for you?

Luke: Oh, well. I’ll take it, thanks.

Yves: I’ll have one too. There’s nothing in it, right?

Gilbert: I don’t like you, you know.

Yves: Eh!

Gilbert: If I’m going to poison you, I wouldn’t so it in such an obvious way, idiot.

Yves: I’ll have a drink.

Clavis & Licht:………..

Gilbert: Hey, what’s the matter? I’ve got one for each of you, take one.

Clavis: Prince Gilbert, what a joke.

Licht: It’s hard to believe that a man of your stature could be so ignorant.

Emma: His eyes are fixed.///He is determined.***

Emma: Are you saying that Licht and Clavis can’t drink alcohol?

Clavis: No, I didn’t say I couldn’t drink. I just don’t feel like it.

Licht: As if.

Gilbert: That’s not going to work in a diplomatic setting. 

Gilbert: It’s the last day of the year, right? If you don’t take off now, when will you take off?

Luke: You’re thinking bad thoughts again, aren’t you?

Gilbert: Hm, I don’t know about that….

Gilbert: I don’t lie. I told you before, I’m just showing my gratitude.

Clavis & Licht: ……..

Gilbert: Little Rabbit, as the hostess of the banquet, I’ll let you give the toast.

Emma: Oh, yes! If I may be so presumptuous…

Emma: I very satisfied with this year’s results. So much has happened…I am happy that we all were able to celebrate together in such a lively manner.

Emma: There have been many exchanges across national borders this year, and next year I hope we can deepen our bonds.

Emma: Cheers!

Gilbert, Luke & Yves:  Cheers!

Clavis: Licht.

Licht: Can I go home?

Clavis: No, look. Gilbert’s entourage is blocking the way.

Licht: …………

Clavis: At least you’re with me. Let’s have a drink together.

Licht: Oh, no.

Clavis: Do you think Gilbert will overlook this?

Licht: I hate this.

Clavis: It’s alright. Look, there are plenty of rose liqueurs here with lower alcohol content.

Luke: Mm, this alcohol is good, but isn’t it a bit strong?

Yves: Yea, it’s strong. Tasty though.

Licht: Clavis, I really want to go home.

Clavis: Wait, wait, wait. Don’t leave me alone. Stay with me.

Licht: …….

Clavis: This is for diplomacy. Let’s do it.

Clavis: Ready, go!

Licht & Clavis: Ah…….

Gilbert: Wow, you’re great at drinking.

Emma: Clavis, Licht, you don’t have to do this.

Clavis: Don’t worry, who says I can’t drink?

Licht:…….

Yves: Licht, you’re already red in the face.

Licht: Yves.

Yves: What?

Licht: Give me more.

Yves: No, no, no. Why would I do that?

Licht: Yves got mad at me.

Yves: Hey, don’t make it sound like you’re gonna cry…your brother will cry.

Yves: I’m going to get you some water for now.

Licht: Yves.

Yves: What now?

Licht: Don’t go anywhere. I’ll miss you. 

Licht: Please.

Yves: What’s this, my little brother?

Luke: Chaos broke loose early.

Clavis: Luke.

Luke: What? You don’t seem that different from usual.

Clavis: I’m sorry…that I’m such a bad brother.

Luke: What a lie!

Clavis: I’m the bad brother who’s always pestering you…..I just want to be friends with you. 

Clavis: How incompetent….am I that I can’t do just that?

Clavis: That’s why I’ve been dishonored with the title: “The Perpetual Chevalier’s Lackey”.

Luke: I’ve never heard of such a title.

Clavis: Luke, you’re always so cold to me. Don’t tell me you don’t like me? You don’t like me?

Luke: Oh, man, what pain in the neck! Hey, Gilbert! This is your fault, so do something about it!

Gilbert: It was Luke who brought the booze wasn’t it?

Emma: Huh?

Gilbert: What’s wrong, Little Rabbit? Putting your nose to my glass.

Emma: This isn’t alcohol. 

Licht & Clavis: !!!

Gilbert: Oh my, I’ve been found out.

Emma: Perhaps, Prince Gilbert also has a drinking problem?

Clavis: Alright, Emma. Pour Gilbert a glass.

Licht: I won’t let you get away with this.

Yves: Oh, you may be drunk, but you sounded cool there!

Luke: Look, I brought you a new glass.

Gilbert: It’s certainly not fair that I’m the only one not drinking.

Gilbert: I couldn’t refuse the drink she pours me.

Gilbert: Bon appétit.

Luke: Whoa, you drink like a normal person.

Licht & Clavis: ……

Yves: Are you alright, Prince Gilbert?

Gilbert: I’m totally fine.

Licht & Clavis: Hah……

Yves: Wow! Both of you went against the Prince of a great country. Right?

Licht: I don’t like him. I don’t know him….goodnight.

Yves: Wait, Licht, where are you going to sleep?

Clavis: Hah, I’m no match for Chevalier, let alone Gilbert.

Clavis: I’m all alone, Luke.

Luke: Hey, wait! Don’t bang your head against the wall like that! You’ll become even more crazy!

Gilbert: Hm, come on Little Rabbit. Now, there should be no one to stand in our way.

Emma: Huh? No way, that’s why you suddenly served alcohol?

Gilbert: I told you, didn’t I? We’re gonna have one last over-the-top trick this year. 

Gilbert: What will they think when I take advantage of the chaos to bring the little rabbit home?

Emma: !

Gilbert: So, then-

Emma: Then I’ll hang on to the desk!

Gilbert: Aw.

Emma: I will never, ever leave!

Gilbert: By the way, that thing you call a desk is a pillar right?

Emma: What?

Luke: Emma, even you’re drunk.

Emma: Is there such a thing…?

Emma: I’m going to go outside to cool off for a minute.

Licht: No, don’t go.

Emma: Licht, when did you…? If you could let go of me please.

Clavis: Emma, why are you trying to run away? Am I really such a bad man?

Emma: What?! Please don’t lean on me Clavis!

Yves: Hey, I don’t care how drunk you are, I won’t let you get away with this!

Luke: You’re irresistible, Emma.

Emma: Don’t talk like that. Help me, Luke!

Luke: Gilbert is more likely to kill me if I do…

Luke: But he’s being quiet. Huh?

Gilbert: ……..

Emma: Gilbert?

Gilbert: ……

Emma: Is he asleep?

Gilbert: ….Not……..asleep.

Luke: Hey, don’t tell me you’re drunk too?

Emma: You’re not a strong drinker, are you?

Gilbert: …Mmm….

Gilbert: But…Little Rabbit….you want to deepen the bond, don’t you?

Emma: !

Gilbert: So….I….drank it…..only for you.

Luke: Hey, don’t forget that you’re a bad guy type just because it’s the end of the year.

Gilbert: Well then…..lap pillow.

Clavis: Oh, that’s not fair. The lap pillow is mine.

Licht: No. it’s mine.

Yves: You are all too drunk to be doing that.

Luke: Oh, the bell rang. It looks like we ran over time.

Yves: How can we start the New Year in such a mess!?

Emma: Hm, but it’s fun and lively isn’t it?

Luke: You seem to be having a tough time with it.

Emma: Yes, but I think it’s good that we have time to relax and have a drink.

Emma: That’s how peaceful it is. Without peace we can’t get along with each other.

Emma: I hope we can have a lot of laughs again this year. 

Luke: Well, there’s no difference. 

Yves: Really.

Yves: Let’s help Emma in the meantime, so we can laugh together in peace.

Luke: I guess so.

Emma: I look forward working with you again this year…

***Definitely not correct. Even the alternate t/l is inaccurate. But I feel that it means Licht is determined not to drink alcohol.

Previous Epilogue Both Ends Bonus Card

Translating this chapter was difficult solely for the fact that it was hilarious‼️

Everyone, but Yves and Luke are lightweights. I’m not playing the current CE - So I can’t say for sure since I don’t have Gilbert’s Drunken Love story - but I don’t think he’s as bad as Licht and Clavis. It seems like he can hold out a bit longer after chugging alcohol. I’ve seen him in other events (i.e. his Anniversary epilogue), where he’s sipped alcohol and he is fine. Whereas, these two poor souls typically don’t stand a chance whether it just a sip or chugging it 🤣

[lena-in-a-red-dress]

Lena as a woman struggling with a medical illness or condition that requires frequent emergency medical care and ambulance rides to the hospital. Kara as the EMT who responds to those calls at Lena's homd most frequently. Kara is charming and helps keep Lena calm and they strike up a rapport, maybe even a little bit of flirting. Definitely a lot of trust, which builds each time Lena sees Kara bending over her to evaluate her.

Then one night Lena gets in a nasty car accident (not her fault), suffering severe life threatening injury, and lo and behold, the EMT who responds is none other than Kara. This time, when Lena gazes up at her, Kara's features are grim and edging on desperate, contrasting sharply with her usual easy humor.

When Lena mutters Kara's name, Kara looks down and sees her awake. She forces a smile.

"Well, well, well, out in the wild this time," she tries to joke, but there's no mirth in her eyes.

Still, Lena feels relief. She knows Kara. She knows Kara will keep her alive, just as she's done countless times before.

"Glad you're... here," Lena murmurs, already fading again.

"No, no, no, Lena you need to keep your eyes open. Just keep your eyes on me, okay?" She calls for a cervical collar and something else over her shoulder.

Lena tries to obey-- she could stare at Kara all day every day given the chance-- but her body betrays her. Still, she drifts off knowing that if she has any chance at all of waking up again, it will be because of the woman kneeling over her.

Had a talk with some Spones fans earlier, and it got me thinking: what are some of the things you like about Spones?

Reblog and share some of the things you love and like about this ship!

The urge to write a cheesy made-for-tv holiday movie/winter sports wolfwren au is so strong….

Shin Hati, a phenom brought up in the world of competitive alpine skiing, seeks out Baylan Skoll, her first coach and estranged adopted father, to train for the biggest race of her career. She never expected to find him in a small mountain resort town obsessed with Christmas. She expected Sabine Wren, an annoying member of Mountain Rescue, lifelong snowboard enthusiast and supreme distraction even less.

Sabine Wren could have gone to the Olympics, but mysteriously quit her training, causing a rift between her and her family of Olympic gold medalists. She’s made peace with what could have been and learned to enjoy winter sports for the fun and freedom, living an exciting life with a community she loves. Then this arrogant, single-minded skier just shows up and prods at old wounds during what should be the happiest time of the year!

They have a lot to learn from each other on and off the slopes, if they don’t kill each other first.

I Promised An Update On Pulls for Zwillingstürme im Herbst

[hella1975]

all hate to tiktok for taking 'having a space to more openly and actively talk about different cultures' to mean 'cultures are NOT to be shared and we must be vigilantly defensive of our cultures for fear of appropriation, a word that can be applied to any multicultural interaction'. like of course cultural appropriation is a very real problem but ive seen with the access to global multicultural conversation that tiktok provides it's made people TERRIFIED to even interact with cultures other than their own for fear of 'doing it wrong'. like at some point you have to acknowledge that in the real world of the great outdoors, the majority of people are eager to SHARE their cultures. yes there are ignorant questions and biases but also... how do you think those things get unlearnt? i dont understand how deciding that multiculturalism is an elephant in the room instead of a normal thing that should just be talked about and lived with is supposed to benefit anyone? and kids on tiktok are CONVINCED that it's a time bomb of a conversation to have and therefore must be avoided at all costs but like. people generally LOVE their home and their culture and are PROUD of it and want to share it. how have we made it so that showing genuine interest and a desire to understand something so integral to a person's identity is now feared and borderline demonised?

i also think there was a power struggle in banter where karl wanted to be the leader which kind of happened with it was just him and sapnap because sapnap was shy. but when george came on then you have his big personality and sapnap got more outgoing with george there and they all got annoyed at someone else interrupting them and someone always got dogpiled on and it just didn’t work. plus them insisting it was in person and they made the bad choice to have it in NC where only one of the three of them live. idk just some not good decision making

poor sapnap 😭 it was cute to see how much more he opened up when george was added but yeah. yeahhhh

Prompts: @fictober-event prompt #3: “I know you better” + @flufftober prompt #24: Comfort Food Fandom: Cyberpunk 2077 Relationship: V/River Ward Rating: General Audiences Warnings: None Summary: After a hard day in Night City, V invites River over to her apartment in the Glen.

AO3 link: here. Preview below the cut.

Night City wasn’t known for easy living. The only way to enjoy its greatest pleasures was to claw your way to the top of the Corpo ladder. But even that had its risks. As V had discovered months ago when she’d been tossed out on her ass thanks to Jenkins.

The life of a merc in NC wasn’t much different in terms of the grind at lower levels. After yet another day spent working gigs around Heywood for Padre, she felt as exhausted as she had in her early days at Arasaka.

As she did anytime she found herself in this part of town, she’d stopped by El Coyote to check in on Mama Welles. Only after promising to come over for dinner soon was she allowed to leave. Her next and final stop of the day was her new apartment, only a few blocks away. 

V entered the elevator, pressed the button for her floor, and waited as it slowly began rising. She was so exhausted she couldn’t focus on anything except the graffiti on the wall until she finally reached level twelve.

Omg, please ✋🏻

Silvio and Gilbert in the same room together is always so enjoyable. I love the way they do business and talk to each other. Especially Silvio! He’s about the only one ballsy enough to cuss Gilbert out or call him a name to his face 🤣 And Gilbert, I’m sure puts up with it not only because Silvio is useful, but because he’s just being brutally honest - rude or not 🤣😆

Please, let me enjoy this banter for years to come 🖤

[in-fair-verona-we-set-our-scene]

Other reasons Wyll having devil wings would both rule and make sense as a punishment (and why he should have them for me, specifically):

It'd be impossible to pass him off as a weird looking tiefling/he's more obviously fiendish

Maybe even requiring Disguise or Charisma checks at some points of the game to bring Wyll with you?

Hotter? Somehow??? Turns out Wyll can get even hotter

More visually evocative of devils like Mizora and Raphael whose insincerity and "help" contrasts Wyll's sincerity and genuine kindness

But also wings look very noble. Regal, even. It fits Wyll's prince charming aesthetic

Especially contrasts with Raphael's whole farce

Very visible. Can be seen from a distance. Hard to hide

He'd have to alter all his clothes (a pain!)

An excuse for a shirtless Wyll scene? Mayhaps

Bulky. Constantly getting in the way and knocking things over

He'd probably need a bigger tent as well

Sitting or lying down comfortably is even harder than if it were just the horns

Aylin can dismiss her wings at her convenience. Wyll cannot. He'd be stuck with them all the time

Imagine the horror of suddenly sprouting two extra limbs against your will

Using them to shield people

Using them as an umbrella from the rain/sun for a lover/friend like a gentleman (especially for Astarion)

Wrapping whoever he's cuddling or hugging with his wings

As Aylin has shown wings are peak romance. Wyll is a romance guy

Also Aylin-Wyll parallels more visually obvious?!

Wings evoke the idea of a cape. Capes are very heroic

Perhaps he can't fly at first (that'd be OP) but maybe around Act 2 he can glide?

At level 11 or 12 he learns to fly with them or maybe as a character event in Act 3

This would also be around the time Wyll can be freed of his pact(or not) so… symbolism!

Mizora isn't expecting him to escape his contract so his punishment both isolating and making him more useful fits

Plus a punishment that also doubles as a "gift" would fit her vibe. "But I'm so good to you Wyll! Look at the wings I gave you to help you be a hero better even though it was a horrific violation of your bodily autonomy! You owe me!"

Also wings look like a reward instead of a punishment to outsiders, even if Wyll tries to explain. "You did something presumably evil to be rewarded with cool wings by your devil patron" is much more damning and more believable than the truth

Mizora becomes even more insidious and smart in her abuse of Wyll as a result which makes her a more effective villain

Tadpole also nerfed him so Mizora's got to keep her pet warlock alive somehow

Winged but caged symbolism! Wings as ironic symbols of bondage! Wings of bondage reclaimed as symbols of freedom!

Kids would probably think Wyll was even cooler somehow with wings and that'd be cute

I think Wyll specifically would fucking love the freedom of flight. This man would love jumping off cliffs

Literally swooping in to save the day

[aishterukii]

Never a dull moment with these two

I almost forgot how much I adored this event :')

[brinnanza]

You know that episode of mash where hawkeye and bj bat puns back and forth in the OR while they're cleaning like "get along, little doggie!" "I had a long little doggie once" "Oh, a little hot dog!" "I relish these conversations" etc yeah that's an average day in my house. today for example, I fished out some rum that's been in my trunk since my friend got married like three years ago and joe was like, make sure it's still rum and not idk bad tasting water. so I opened the bottle to sniff as I was putting it away, and I yelled, "IT'S RUM, DOG." from the other room joe shot back, "what's rum dog???" and without missing a beat I said "NOTHIN WHAT'S THE MOTTO WITH YOU"

LUNDInium Outskirts /but it's her insane doodles/ PART IV

Me: *Casually watching my operators work on ZT-7 farming* Me: *Looks away for a second* Lessing: "Du kannst rennen, aber ich werde weiter jagen." Me:

I forgot I set all the Leithanien characters to German the day before...

--- Me: *In the base* Poz: "Doctor, if you insist on spending time together, how about we talk about your favourite books?" Me: *Pushes everything off my desk to clear space* "You just need to ask!"

--- There is no doodle for this one, but since it's HorseUncleTM merch, I wanted to show it off because the last part didn't actually feature what I was shown and how insane it looks knowing she has her entire desk COVERED with them.

---

How is RI-13 not broke yet living in holes, who knows...? Perhaps the rumours are correct and Dr. Lundi really dealing secretly with firearms on the black market of Sargon. ---

The event of Dr. Lundi half-crying on the bus back home because she couldn't stream to us BUYING the SKIN will be a core memory created based on eternal friendship. I will never be happier to wake up than I am when I see an 'Eve, can I be soggy again?' before being bombarded with Mlynar details and ramblings regardless of what I say.

There's a lot to unpack but I can't possibly ever talk about Mlynar the same way Lundi does in VC. She pulls up receipts proof of her words as well every time she mentions something.

--- We also have a new Pinkie sticker! Wahoo team!!!

Based on this --- Based on this post about our Arknights Yumeship's kid being bullied, I had a little spiral and was just thinking about different scenarios. Out of all the answers given, Kryo's is most direct and... very in character towards his sarkaz/draco child.

Lundi's also leaning towards physical aggression, instant retaliation for their little baba horse.

And then I just... imploded... (This was on the basis of the parents trying to justify their child's behaviour)

While Pinkie is not too interested on the aspect of children we've been trying to involve them more in the Yumeship questions just because their relationship with Swire/Chen is SO wholesome but they're shy to actually indulge. It's alright, we will always be there for the sugarbaby ultramind that is our friend.

You can see this conversation was very important to me.

Which is why this ART IS SO CUTE IM CRYING I LOVE THEM

---

Vigorously searched for the video, but basically, me and the Team were watching Unusual Memes from this one channel and one of them was of a guy who walked up to his neighbour/friend's home camera and said 'Well, you DON'T get to decide when to party, I want you around now.' And well... if that isn't Lundi pulling Dr. Eve out of bed during some of her emotional episodes.

In reference to this, Dr. Pinkie was upset Lundi wasn't just breaking down my door because she usually does that without asking. So some edits were applied and a part 2 has been added:

We all loved everything about this. Thank you Pinkie for always being some of the best designers and always editing things in the funniest way possible.

Me: "It looks like I'm getting kidnapped." Lundi: "Child napper."

... ... ... I JUST NOTICED THIS GIF WAS CREATED??!?!?!?!?!?!?

I'M GETTING TURNED INTO SOURDOUGH HELP ME --- Pinkie stealing Dr. Lundi's food.

--- God forbid I ever sneeze in call

--- And as some of the final doodles there's for this part, allow me a little TW about bugs because I am absolutely terrified of this thing and I am afraid that its arms are longer than mine so I can't even come into reach to kill it.

It's not my fault people make shelves so high up.

[mymitochondriaforpresident]

I was really looking forward to the continuation of the Wille Sweater storyline, as well as the third installment of the Fish Trilogy. :(
