Judging each other (#CypherArtWeek2022 Day 6)

Cypher and Chamber.

Despite them being a fellow co-worker in the same division a.k.a the sentinels of the VALORANT Protocol, both of them couldn't be said to have a good relationship. Cypher was very skeptical towardsthe Frenchman. Chamber 'clean record' looked really fake in his eyes even though Chamber did contribute to the team by recommending Neon to Brimstone, working on the ALPHA-OMEGA teleporter, and being part of the strike team in Istanbul. Cypher still could sense that Chamber was hiding something from the VALORANT Protocol and it might cause trouble in the future for them.

Honestly speaking, Cypher couldn't help but silently judging Chamber while digging information about the said man, even when Chamber arrived at the protocol. Expensive fancy suit and customized weapon just screamed rich at Cypher, making him thinking that Chamber was a spoiled brat. The man worked as a marksman to a weapon designer in Kingdom Defense, moving from one place to another and seemingly fine in doing his work. Not weird for some people but this makes him think that Chamber was incompetent and had another motive, especially when it was Chamber himself who offer to join the VALORANT Protocol. As far as Cypher knew, only Viper and Killjoy willingly join the team where the rest were 'invited'. Both Viper and Killjoy were not suspicious as they were related to Brimstone, the leader and founder of the VALORANT Protocol.

But Chamber, everything about this man was suspicious and he was sure on his intuition that something was off about the man.

Chamber, on the other hand, also noticed the Moroccan 'off' behavior when meeting him at the headquarters. As someone who had worked with different kind of people, Chamber knew that Cypher was someone that he needed to be careful of.

Cypher was mysterious, always hiding every inch of his skin from other agents, even their own leader. This led him to believe that Cypher also had another intention when joining the team. Small private working space and thinking that certain brand of tea were expensive made Chamber thought that Cypher came from a poor family.

Those were just small examples of them constantly judging each other in silence, of course without never knowing the real truth.

One day, the truth shall rise and proof whether their judgements are true or not.

Getting ready for their first date, like—

—Keeley bringing Rebecca to find the perfect outfit, not because she needs a new outfit and not because Roy and Jamie won’t love her in whatever, but that’s half the fun, isn’t it? Getting ready, building anticipation, sneaking another drink at Aeronaut while Derek fetches her two more dresses, just for the hell of it.

Rebecca tells her that she looks gorgerous in every bloody thing, but that she looks particularly gorgerous in the second pink one, and oh, they should stop by The Connaught Bar on their way to the spa, celebrate Keeley looking like the marvel she is, and maybe raise a toast to Roy and Jamie being far, far luckier than either of them deserve.

“If you were into women I’d never date anyone else,” Keeley says very seriously over her Fleurissimo. “We’d never even have to go on actual dates, we could just do this forever, it’d be fucking fantastic.” She makes an exaggerated face. “Now I’m stuck dating icky boys.”

And Rebecca laughs and hugs her and knows that she’s not serious, at least not about the last part.

(Rebecca hopes this works out because if it doesn’t and she has to deal with the implosion of a relationship between her head coach and their star player… Well. She’d put the brakes on the whole thing, maybe, if it weren’t for Keeley and the way she lights up when she talks about her icky boys, if it weren’t for the fact that Roy and Jamie are going to be absolutely ridiculous about each other no matter what Rebecca allows or doesn’t allow, if it weren’t for her sordid affair with Sam and how it hasn’t left her with a single leg to stand on.)

---

Getting ready for their first date, like—

—Jamie giving Roy an incredulous and halfway reproachful look as Roy sticks his head out the office to tell him that they’re leaving, so mush. “I’m going back home, mate. Dani’s giving me a ride.”

And Roy’s eyebrows do their Roy’s eyebrow thing. “What the fuck for? Keeley’s picking us up in less than two hours. At my place. You can do your fucking hair bullshit or whatever you need to do there.”

(It’s unclear to Roy exactly what hair bullshit Jamie might need doing, because he’s already spent half an hour after training in front of the dressing room mirror with most of the team chiming in with encouragement and advice, but it’s Jamie, so it’s probably something.)

“Not with your tragic products, I can’t,” Jamie mutters (and that’s a right laugh because Jamie knows better than most everybody that Roy does not, in fact and unlike some other people, settle for fucking Lynx or the like). “And anyway, we’re going on a date with each other, right, not just with Keeley, so we can’t get ready together. What am I supposed to do, sneak out the door and ring the bell when it’s time to pick you up?”

“What? No.”

Jamie points at him. “Right, ‘cause that’d be weird.”

“That’s not—“ But Jamie doesn’t let him finish, he just walks off with Dani, because he doesn’t have time for Roy’s spluttering, has he, and doesn’t Roy know Jamie has a date to get ready for?

Get ready he does, but because he is a filthy hypocrite (a word he does know the meaning of, so there, Coach Beard) he doesn’t hesitate to call Keeley when he can’t decide between his favourite Stone Island jacket and the new patterned Gucci number he got sent the other day, and then he has to have opinions on her shade of lipstick, and she suggests he wear the Layton she bought him a few years back, and it’s a brilliant time, just like them getting ready for the red carpet back when they were dating before.

“Bit like cheating, though, innit,” Jamie tells Keeley, out of a sudden and uncharacteristic sense of fairness. “Us asking each other for advice when getting ready for a date with each other, yeah? I should be on the phone with like Isaac, and you should talk to Rebecca or Barbara.”

“Well,” Keeley reasons as she sips her mimosa and waits for her nail polish to dry. “We’re going on a date with Roy too, and since we are the ones who properly knows what he likes and we want to look fucking fit for him, it makes sense for us to help each other out, yeah? Besides,” she adds, “we can do whatever we want, babe. Screw the rules, right?”

And yeah, right. That’s the basis for this whole thing, innit? “Yeah,” Jamie agrees, giving her a grin. “Screw the rules.” And then his smile softens into something gentler, almost shy, something she used to be the only one ever allowed to see. “Want look fucking fit for you too,” he admits, like it’s a secret.

Keeley’s smile, too, is soft. “Aw, babe, me too. And you do.”

—

Getting ready for their first date, like—

Roy picking Phoebe up from school and dropping her off with Sophia’s retired colleague, and when Phoebe asks why she’s not staying with him this time he takes a long moment to answer, and it’s messed up, isn’t it, that he’s this concerned about what a fucking child should think about his love life.

Not just any child, though, is she. “I’m going on a date,” he says eventually, glancing at her in the rear mirror.

“Oh.” She frowns; not in disapproval, he thinks, but in careful consideration. Then: “Is this a date with Keeley or with Jamie?”

Huh. All right, then. First potential hurdle cleared. As for the second… “Both.”

To his stupidly immense relief, Phoebe brightens at that. “That’s very clever of you, Uncle Roy. It would have been really hard to choose between Jamie and Keeley, and they both love you so much.”

Roy shakes his head, biting back a smile that’s as much affection as it is incredulity. “All right, you little precocious shit, get out of here, and be good for Ms. Mallard.”

And then he has just enough time to get back home and change out of his black shirt and trousers into another black shirt and pair of trousers, to trim his beard and add a textured silk tie (very dark purple, Keeley and Jamie better fucking appricate the splash of colour). He spends a long time staring at his reflection, partly because he really is quite vain (his stubborn protests to the contrary), but mostly because this means something to him. They do: Keeley, Jamie. The three of them, and what they could be.

It leaves him a little dizzy. It scares the hell out of him. He wants to get this right.

The door bell chimes. Jamie, and Roy has barely let him in, has barely even begun to figure out what he’s supposed to say to this Jamie, to his date Jamie, to the Jamie whose eyes sparkle and who manages to make even that ridiculous outfit look good, when the bell chimes again, and there is Keeley, a fucking vision, and Roy knows what to say to her.

“You look fucking amazing,” he says, and she giggles and leans in to kiss his cheek, very chaste (it’s a first date, after all), and still it’s nearly enough to leave him breathless with how much he’s missed her.

“Got you this,” he mutters a little hoarsely, picking up and handing over a Black Baccarat rose that’s been strategically sat on the sidetable.

Impractical, since they’re going out, and corny, but fucking sue him. Roy Kent will headbutt anyone who dares call him a romantic, but that doesn’t mean he thinks they’re wrong – and anyway, it’s worth it for the way Keeley smiles as she inhales the sweet scent.

“Uh, where’s my flower?” Jamie complains.

Roy rolls his eyes. “Jesus fucking Christ,” he growls. “Fine.” And he heads off into the kitchen where there is indeed a second rose waiting in a small vase. He’d left it there, deeply unsure if he was supposed to offer Jamie one or not; but that’s that cleared up then, flowers for Jamie is a go, he’ll make a note for their next date.

Jamie beams as he accepts his rose; grins wickedly as he, too, leans in to kiss Roy’s cheek.

Roy clears his throat, trying to ignore the way his heart’s sped up at the brief touch. “Okay. Let’s fucking do this.”

“Yeah,” Keeley agrees. “Let’s.”

And Jamie doesn’t say anthing at all, but he nods, and he takes Roy’s arm, and Keeley takes his hand, and they walk out into the night and fucking do it.

do you know any other perfumes worn by historical figures like otma? 🩷

Elisabeth of Austria wore Creed Fantasia De Fleurs. Obviously we don't know what Anne Boleyn smelled like (AN ANGEL!), but there is some evidence that she had a fondness for rose-water and even had several bottles of it in her inventory. Marie Antoinette was mad for perfume (there are entire books about this), and you can still buy her custom blend of Parfum du Trianon by her very own personal perfumer, Jean-Louis Fargeon. She even packed it for Varennes! (Louis waiting for her to get ready like 😒.) Her beloved Le Jardin Secret has been repackaged as Black Jade by Lubin, and you can buy it here. Marie-Thérèse also wore Lubin. Napoleon had François Rancé create Joséphine for Guess Who. To absolutely no one's surprise, it's like an explosion of rose petals. Victoria was a big fan of Fleurs de Bulgarie by Creed.

Madame du Barry‘s favourite scent was Aqua Mirabilis by Giovanni Maria Farina. Creed's Jasmin Imperatrice Eugenie was created (shockingly enough) for my beloved Empress Eugenie. STARLET SCENTS:

Grace Kelly walked down the aisle in Creed Fleurissimo.

Givenchy created L'Interdit for Audrey in 1957, but she also wore Creed Spring Flower later on - another perfume made just for her! Carole Lombard wore Casma by Caswell-Massey during her flapper era.

Pattie Boyd recorded in her Letter from London for 16 Magazine that she wore Jicky by Guerlain during her dolly bird days. (Also a favorite of Sharon Tate!) LITERARY LADIES: Zelda Fitzgerald wore Salud by Schiaparelli, describing it as "violets and lilies and pink beauty." And just for fun: the fictional Linda Radlett wears Après L'Ondée by Guerlain, and knowing Nancy Mitford, I'm pretty certain this means she wore it herself. 💐🩷

[okinawa-division]

The sun was shining brightly on the division of Okinawa. It was decently warm for being in the middle of December, and Evelyn Rose was enjoying her birthday off inside the Eagle’s Nest. The bar was surprisingly slow at the moment, with Evelyn chatting with Rashaad. Suddenly, a delivery man entered.

“Package for Evelyn Rose?” He asked, looking around the bar.

“Here!” Evelyn cheered, raising her hand at the man realizing that this was probably another gift for her.

“Here you go, Miss.” The delivery man handed Evelyn the package and gave a quick bow before leaving the establishment.

Evelyn, noticing that the package had the word “Fragile” on it, was extremely curious as to who sent her this package and, unable to control her excitement, began to carefully open the package.

Inside the package was a clear bottle of eau de parfum with a green top, and immediately, Evelyn was hit by a lovely floral scent. Gently picking it up, Evelyn admired the design on the bottle, and seeing a note in the package, Evelyn picked it up as well and began to read.

“Happy Birthday, Evelyn. I do hope you enjoy the bottle of perfume I sent you. It’s called Creed Fleurissimo, and it’s the same perfume actress Grace Kelly wore at her wedding to the Prince of Monaco. I figured it would be right up your alley. Now enjoy the rest of your day.”

— Reika A.

"Ohhh!" Evelyn wooed, looking at the bottle. She didn't know exactly who Grace Kelly was, but whoever she was, she had very good taste in perfumes. Turning the bottle towards her, she gave a quick spray onto her neck, liking sweet, flowery essence stick to her body. She had to admit, she really loved the smell of it.

"It smells lovely, Miss Rose." Rashaad stated, a smile on his face. It did really smell nice. Though Rashaad wasn't a florist by any means, he did enjoy sweet scents like this, so long as it wasn't overpowering or used in excess.

"Thanks Rashaad!" Evelyn shouted, smiling at him before turning to the bottle. "I definitely have to use this for, like, my next date with Acey."

The bartender looked as the model ran upstairs with the bottle, no doubt to place it with the rest of the bottles in the vanity in the bathroom she shared with her boyfriend. He gave a small chuckle and resumed his usual activity of wiping down his bar counter.

6 Beauty Secrets You Didn't Know About Grace Kelly

Source: Byrdie.com.

Hard to believe that her regal coif wasn't the handiwork of a stylist extraordinaire, right? But according to biographer Gina McKinnon, the truth is that Kelly preferred to primp herself, especially (and almost unbelievably) after she became Princess of Monaco. She always kept a brush and powder in her bag for touch-ups.

Long before it became today's overplayed trend, Kelly took a more subtle approach to sculpt her cheekbones, using two different shades of blush. To give your cheeks a similar look, place a darker, cooler tone under your cheekbones and a brighter pink colour on the apples of your cheeks. Try Clé de Peau's Powder Blush Duo ($50) to channel her approach.

Creed's Fleurissimo ($360) was a perfume custom-made for Kelly on her wedding day to complement her bridal bouquet—a gift from her husband, Prince Rainier. Talk about a signature scent. With notes of bergamot, rose, and violet, the fragrance channelled a "fairytale romance," subtle, yet elegant and glamorous. Plus, it's still available today if you want to try it for yourself.

Kelly was religious about keeping her hands moisturized, says beauty expert Peter Lamas, who often worked with Kelly (along with countless other icons). "When I asked her why, she replied, 'A woman's age shows on her hand much quicker than anywhere else,'" he reveals. Another thing we recommend? Don't forget to put sunscreen on your hands, too. It'll even further prevent sun damage and signs of ageing on your hands.

"She looked after herself," says McKinnon. "She drank lots of water, she didn't smoke, she swam a lot, and when she was younger she did ballet." She also enjoyed yoga and brought snacks of carrot sticks, celery, and dried apricots to movie sets to tide herself over between meals. Since she was a dancer, her posture was important to her, too. She always stood tall with her shoulders back, elongating her body.

While Kelly was known for her natural beauty, she was also aware of her angles. According to biographer Wendy Leigh, Grace was self-conscious about certain parts of her body, like her jaw. To make it look smaller or less square, she would turn her face to show more of her cheek or hide it entirely behind a collar during photoshoots. She started modelling around 18, so she definitely had practice finding "her good side."

Solitude? Or just Loneliness? [headcanon; thought]

Chamber is … lonely, I must say.

Well, we know that he is very, VERY, confident. He speaks in friendly demeanor (with a goal, of course). Throwing compliments as well as flirting left and right even though he is clearly aware that no one in the protocol likes him, especially Neon.

We know that he sounds (and maybe is indeed) manipulative; talking about nice things with intentions. But deep down, I just think he is a lonely man. He acts manipulative, does ANYTHING to reach what he wants, and tries really hard to show the best version of himself because he tries to cope with his past. Maybe he had seen or experienced shits when working with Kingdom or even far before that. We have no idea about his past, just a little amount of information.

It's really hard to understand him. No one really understands him and he does think that as well. No one will never know what's inside Chamber's brain. He keeps his mask on very well; hide to protect but it destroys him as well. He befriends while building a wall around him.

He sets his eyes to one goal. He tries his best to get it and doesn't hesitate to sacrifice everything, get rid of everything that gets in his way. Including his own mental well being.

I wonder how long he could endure the loneliness inside him.

Will he break one day?

Perfume Sample Pack 7/9/2022

Tom Ford - Eau de Soleil Blanc: Yummy. Coconut and lime, lasts a very long time but is light enough to not overpower. Worth a full bottle probably. Or just get Bath and Body Works Coconut Lime Verbena if you want to scratch the itch for cheap.

Creed - Fleurissimo: Grace Kelly’s wedding perfume, a special order for her. It shows, as this smells like the freshest bouquet of flowers, with an extra soapy cleanliness. Might get a bigger bottle for my friend’s wedding.

Serge Lutens - Santal Majuscule: Fucking YUM. Sandalwood, cocoa and rose. Dark but not oppressive, very goth without the sugary tendencies a lot of darker scents have. Definitely worth a full bottle.

Creed - Aventus: Blergh. Don’t believe the hype. Smells like Axe with flowers and a dead raccoon inside.

Starting with the bridal bouquet that fell from the sky, a classic all-white bridal bouquet matches the wedding dress’s aesthetic. Flowers covered most guest tables with white blooms and a hint of greenery. To complement the romantic setting, tapper candles placed along the table lighted the night.

Entertainment was a key part of this celebration, with music by @silverarrowband to keep everyone away from their chairs, and a photo booth from @bookhipstr that every guest visited totake a fun photo and keep a memory of such an amazing event. This whole wedding would not be possible without the planning skills of @bartlebyandsage, who made sure each detail was taken care of and perfect for the couple to enjoy their big day.

Every wedding is as unique as the couple who is saying I do. The details of such an important celebration can make the difference between a regular gathering and the event of a lifetime.

“Mourning someone doesn’t have a time-limit.”

loss and lost meme || @acrobatick

It was ridiculous. Tim was out with Dick and as they were stopping at a cafe, a woman walked by, her perfume reaching Tim's nostrils. Fleurissimo by Creed. He knew that fragrance. He knew it very well, a powdery violet scent that had been his mother's signature perfume. Suddenly a wave of emotions engulfed him. She had been dead for years, he shouldn't get this upset about it and Dana had been a great stepmum, but he really did miss his mum. Missed her long golden hair and expressive blue eyes. Yes, she hadn't been there as much as Tim had wished for and she had been a bit strict with appearance being important, but she had been his mum and he had good memories of her too. Mainly from his younger years with trips to the botanic garden and eating ice cream in the sun.

Tim slowly inhaled through his nose, trying to quickly push away his feelings, not wanting to spoil a rare outing with his brother. Except Dick had already noticed. "Sorry, I... I thought I was past this..."
