ok so since rollos birthday is feb 2nd and i am now declaring that amyis birthday is valentines day (i didnt give him a b-day before lmao) what if they do like a mini party for rollos birthday like a small cake and a couple gifts but for valentines day is when they go all out

like imagine them going to dinner at a rlly fancy place that amyir paid for and just having the sweetest, most romantic time

oh and also they rented a room at said hotel and had a very *rough* night which led to rollo + giles not being able to walk for like three days and being covered in hickies, bruises and scratch marks everywhere

long ask but can I actually get hcs on their *spicy* evening?

OOOOooooooooo~

I love the fact we have an official birthday for our little choir boy of the bell tower~!

As it is his very special day, let's get messy~

Rollo's birthday starts off rather mellow and simple as you mentioned, coffee bakery trip for breakfast and gifts from everyone

If this was in the Kalim Harem AU then everyone video called with him during breakfast and again right around late afternoon where the three are going to catch their dinner plans, gifts were sent by them that either came in time or will show up the next day

Though Rollo was a touch confused as to why Floyd purred "Have fun Flathead Gray Mullet~"

But nevermind that, dinner!

The place was lovely and the night sky was perfect!

Though Rollo was a touch curious as to why his lovelies text him letting him know they're here but he can't see them

Then, the lights dimmed...

Soft plucks of strings happen as a single candle fueled spot light shined to the small stage to show Giles and Amyir standing there

Then they began to dance close together, like a ballet of sorts, their story told based of their movements and while Giles sings

Giles is dressed like this-

While Amyir is dressed like this

As the temp sped up the two took the air and began to dance up there in twirls and soft smiles

As the song was coming to an end, the two landed by Rollo's table and gave him each a kiss as the restaurant's chef brings over a gourmet chocolate cake

Rollo was a bashful red mess over the surprise and the three enjoy the rest of their night so far, especially happy to see Giles showing off his wings without fear.

Then as Amyir got the bill he gave them a wink as he spoke, "How about we go to the hotel now and make the night more fun~?"

The trio were barely in the hotel room for more than a minute before hands and lips were already all over each other and clothes were decarded and forgotten on the floor

Amyir picked Rollo up and brought him to the bed like a princess being rescued, giggling at his red cheeks already

Giles and Rollo were first, Amyir just wanted to watch the two crumble in lust and passion before he tapped in.

Doesn't mean he didn't help~

Giles was panting and moaning at the feeling of Amyir touching and groping at his wings from behind, flustered as hell at Rollo's eyes of awe on him

"You like it~? Arie told Ester and Ester blabbed to me~" The demon cooed as he stared at Rollo watching as his childhood friend turned lover gets very hot and bothered over the pets of his wings that puff out and tremble

After Giles and him were done, Rollo didn't have much room to breath before Amyir already was going down on the lad much to his shock

It only got worst when the two held up two velvet fabrics to bound his hands together and cover his eyes

The sounds of the bed rocking, loud pants and moans, skin against skin, and animalistic growls were all Rollo could hear as he dives deeper and deeper into the black abyss that covered his eyes as pleasure wrecks him apart into tears

The feeling of harsh grips, scratches, bites, and smacks of his legs and buttocks was all he can feel, the bedsheets was barely even there in his mind

Rollo was now seeing white in his vision as Amyir takes him from behind a third time, legs shaking, throat hurting and voice close to hoarse with how much wails he lets escape

The next thing he remembers was waking up the next morning sore and speaking in a very soft whisper, laying beside him naked is a equally (honestly very less) bitten up Giles who smiled sleepily at him

"Morning our angel~" he giggled, rubbing the white hair on top of Rollo's head

Rollo snuggled his cheek into that warm palm and asked, "What happened last night?"

Giles giggled again, a yawn leaving bruised lips from kissing one could guess, "You passed out after round five and Amyir took you to the bath for aftercare, then he snuggled you in here, took me up to aftercare as well, then we fell asleep together."

Amyir showed up with breakfast in hands and a smile on his face as the two snuggle up together recovering from morning air and the soft sting of pain, kisses ready for who ask for them

why lie. im still riding the high of the queer art exhibit i saw at centre pompidou this summer

[voices-of-hope-county]

Are there, by chance, voice files of the female deputy actually speaking, or a name of the voice actor who recorded the sound effects?

The female Deputy never speaks, but it sounds to me like she has the same voice actor as one of the cultists. You can find a transcript of most of her lines in this document if you search for “CULT_FOLLOWER_FEMALE_05”. One of the Angels might be played by the same person too.

I know Randy Yuen did motion capture for the Deputy in general, and maybe the male Deputy has his voice, but there is no information about who played “CULT_FOLLOWER_FEMALE_05” and the female Deputy…

The actor’s name must be in the credits, however, so probably one of these people:

VOICE TALENT Doug Abrahams Marty Adams Claire Armstrong Ted Atherton Kailea Banka Carolina Bartczak Lawrence Bayne Bruce Blain Jesse Bond Sarah Booth Marc-André Boulanger Wyatt Bowen Paul Braunstein Kimberly D. Brooks Jason Bryden Nicki Burke Mark Camacho Braeden Clarke Lucinda Davis Stacey DePass Bruce Edwards Jake Epstein Jonathan Goad Amber Goldfarb Alain Goulem Rob Greenway Gavin Hammon Ian Hanlin Lauren Jackson Julianne Jain Mara Junot Helen King Jameson Kraemer Gabe Kunda Tristan D. Lalla Erica Lindbeck Erin Mathews James Mathis III Jon McLaren Scott McNeil Cynthia Kaye McWilliams Chimwemwe Miller Julie Nathanson Mayko Nguyen Peter Outerbridge Lindsay Owen-Pierre Giles Panton Christopher Parson Kristen Peace Murry Peeters Simon Lee Phillips Geoffrey Pounsett Claire Rankin David Richmond-Peck Cara Ricketts Kyle Rideout Charlotte Rogers Paula Shaw Jesse Sherman Ivan Sherry Howard Siegel Jonathan Silver Dylan Taylor Jeff Teravainen Brett Watson Jane Wheeler Dan White Scott Whyte Debra Wilson Kim Yarbrough Farid Yazdani

And there is a little more information about who played who on IMDb.

This is all I know for the moment... but I hope it helps :)

Yuliana was made when someone requested a soldier who would do anything the buyer asked. Her development took years during which she somehow got a soul. Her father never said how it happened or even if he actually knew how it happened. What also changed is that he began to see her like his own daughter which inspired him to try to get her away from the buyer. The day before he decided to leave, Yuliana saw a black carriage. She decided to inform her papa immediately, to which he took it as a sign to leave, only for her to get transported to Twisted Wonderland.

How do you think Jenny feels about Heather's the musical? (And musicals in general)

i think jenny is very very attached to heathers the movie (like, it's straight up her comfort movie for when she's sick or sad, which TERRIFIES GILES), but this girl is alllll about adaptations and change, so she would probably get very excited about the way that heathers has been adapted to the stage! like she's taking notes about the differences during the intermission!!!

she loves musicals. i don't see a situation where she doesn't. she loves live music, she loves high energy stuff, and she LOVES nerd shit even though she keeps it on the dl. i think she MOST enjoys musicals that have some sort of interactive component (i don't know TOO much about natasha, pierre, & the great comet of 1812, but that combo of literary adaptation musical/immersive seating feels like a situation that she and giles would both THOROUGHLY love) but she can still have a good time at a musical performance! i think she and giles would go see musicals a lot once they're settled enough in their relationship to enjoy not just, like, Inflicting Dates On Each Other. they want to both be having a good time.

The crossed out people are dead, the crossed out memories are lost to the passage of time... This is Thousand Year Old Vampire.

The beginning.

Me: 

I am Melisende, age 17. I was born in the 12th Century in France, near Carcassonne. I work in the lord’s Courteney castle, as a maid.

Characters:

Aalis, my mother, a castle maid like me

Onfroi, my father, a butcher

Roul, a boy I like that also works at the lord Courteney’s castle

Ida, another castle maid, and my friend. She’s a bit clumsy, but popular with boys

Lord Charles Courteney, the lord of the castle and guardian of Carcassonne

Robert, my neighbour. He started following me everywhere, always complimenting me, and trying to help with all of my chores.

Colette, Jean's, my slave, wife, swears to hunt me and kill me one day

Bernard Courteney, bastard son, seeks revenge for destroying his family and community 

Pierre, a young boy that showed me kindness

The Immortal:  Guibert of Cors, Baron of Mitopoli

An immortal: Alfonso. He betrayed me.

An immortal: ????. She killed my slave Jean and attacked me

Skills:

Sewing ☑️

Cleaning

Butchering ☑️

Entrancing touch ☑️

Resistance to diseased blood

Resources:

Butcher knife

A bird pendant necklace

Sturdy pair of leather gloves 

Servitors of the lineage

A golden dagger

Diary, a strong leather bound book, with black outside

Marks:

Strangely red and hot hands

Big scar on right cheek

Memories:

Memory:

During a really cold winter, my father created a sturdy pair of gloves to prevent my fingers from getting frostbite

Memory:                              

I dropped my pendant, but Roul found it and gave it back to me, making me blush

Memory:

I tried to teach Ida to use the butcher knife, but she cut her finger, and got a bit scared

Memory:

The Baron called me into his chambers and gave me a strange drink. All I remember is cold on my lips and heat on my hands. When I woke up in my own bed the next day, I felt cold, but my hands were red and burning up. 

Since then, Robert, the neighbours son, has become obsessed with me, and follows me everywhere like a servant

Memory:

I had to run away from everything and everyone I love, for fear of hurting them, and Robert followed me

I was discovered living in the mountains and we've had to run to the kingdom of Aragon. We now go by Blanca and Marco. I feed on humans at night.

Memory:

I ran into another one like me for the first time in 10 years. It was a pleasant encounter, he taught me to entrance humans by touching them with my hands, in exchange of my father's gloves. His name was Alfonso.

I was betrayed by Alfonso. He turned Marco (Robert) against me. I had to kill him and run away. I go back to France, to Toulouse.

Memory: 

It's the 14th century. I'm a lady of a castle, with the descendants of Lord Courteney at my service. They sacrifice sheep and cows to me, it keeps them entertained as they do my bidding. They think I will spare them from the Black Plague. I go by Blanche now.

Because of the Plague, feeding became more difficult. The usual beggars I would feed on died, so I killed all of my servants, and everyone in the cult that adored me. The last person I killed was the current Lord Courteney, Giles. I  broke my father's butcher knife a long time ago. I found a gold dagger on him and took it.

People of the neighbouring village noticed my carnage and banded together to kill me. They call me "The Pale Butcher". I seduce their leader with my power and we escape together. He's now my lover and my slave. His name is Jean. His wife swears to kill me.

Memory:

Me and Jean have been travelling for a few months. We run into a young man. He's Giles Courteney's bastard son, Bernard. He seeks revenge. He manage to escape from him, barely. He knew to wait until I was feeding, his family had served me for long.

I ran into another immortal. I don't know her name, but she tried to take Jean away from me and eat him. But she didn't know Jean was already dying of the black plague, so I let her feed. This angered her, and she attacked me, leaving a pronounced scar on my right cheek. I ran away.

Wandering through the forest, I didn't realise the Sun was coming up so I hid in a nearby cabin. A small child found me. He wasn't scared. He touched my scarred faced, and kissed it, as if trying to heal it. I cried. He told me his name was Pierre.

Memory:

I've killed Pierre, because I couldn't bear his innocence. His purity. I am haunted by my actions. I bury him under a tree.

Changed by my cruel crime, I now only feed on the dying. At first it makes me very sick, but slowly I build a tolerance. I don't need violence to kill anymore. I sell my golden dagger.

Diary Entries: 

Memory:

During a really cold winter, my father created a sturdy pair of gloves to prevent my fingers from getting frostbite

Memory:

I dropped my pendant, but Roul found it and gave it back to me, making me blush

Ok, so amyir has a younger brother named Liam (not sure if that'll be his final name or not lol)

And Liam is dating literally the worst criminal from level 9 and when amyir was like "tf are you doing?" Liam pulled the whole, "people come to hell to be reformed! He's changed!" Meanwhile said bf is trashy to even the other members of the royal family and even esther.

Yeah if he wasn't dating Liam, amyir would have killed that fucker

He's not the other one-

This would be Giles after kicking him down and Rollo and Amyir are just watching him like "When did he work out enough to kick ass"

Russian, South African and Us Athletes Get Rushed Australian Citizenships Ahead of 2024 Olympics

The Australian government has fast-tracked the citizenship of three athletes from South Africa, Russia and the US, in an effort to boost the nation’s chances of winning gold medals at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

With the support of the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC), South African canoeist Pierre Van der Westhuyzen, Russian wrestler Georgii Okorokov and US water polo player Sam Slobodien, will receive citizenships ahead of the games after having their applications fast-tracked.

The immigration minister, Andrew Giles, used ministerial discretion to intervene and grant citizenship to Van der Westhuyzen, who has only been in Australia since January 2020.

“The applicant is engaged in a sport at an elite level and, if an Australian citizen, may be selected to represent Australia at the Paris 2014 Summer Olympic Games,” Giles wrote in a note to parliament explaining his decision to intervene.

“The applicant’s contribution to the sport may enhance Australia’s international reputation and provide inspiration and motivation to other athletes. I have decided it would be of benefit to Australia for this applicant to be an Australian citizen.”

Van der Westhuyzen was not otherwise eligible to apply for citizenship as he had not been living in Australia for more than four years, as required by law. Giles said he was “of good character” and had already passed a citizenship test.

The processing time for citizenship applications can vary, with about 90% processed within 10 months.

The South African, whose bid for a ministerial intervention was supported by the AOC, is the brother of Jean van der Westhuyzen, who won gold for Australia in the K2 1000m canoe event at the 2020 Summer Olympics.

“It’s a huge privilege for sure,” van der Westhuyzen told Guardian Australia of the minster’s decision.

“I realise how special this is. Not many people are getting their citizenship as quickly as I am and I’m really so glad I have the opportunity to represent Australia.”

A student at Bond university, on the Gold Coast, he arrived in Australia shortly before international borders were closed due to the Covid pandemic. He said the fast-tracking of his application was necessary to ensure he could compete for a spot in the Australian team.

“After everything that’s been done for me and the belief that people have for me, it just makes me want to do really well for Australia. It’s really an honour,” Van der Westhuyzen said.

The AOC is able to support fast-tracked citizenship applications – or lobby for exemptions to be made for those who don’t meet the requirements – under a “special residence provision of the Citizenship Act”

“The capacity of the AOC to provide this type of support is a significant privilege for Australian sport which the AOC exercises judiciously,” a spokesperson for the body said.

“All requests must be for athletes who will be selected on the next Australian Olympic team.”

The AOC also supported the fast-tracked citizenship of Okorokov, who was a European junior champion in wrestling and has lived in Australia since 2017.

“His talent has been identified by Wrestling Australia and he is part of their high performance squad, also assisting in upskilling local Australian wrestlers,” the AOC said in a statement.

“He has represented Australia on a number of occasions and placed 10th at the 2022 world championships.”

Okorokov, who has been contacted for comment, was based in the Siberian city of Yakutsk, just south of the Arctic Circle. Russia does not allow dual citizenship.

The AOC said the government had also fast-tracked the application of 26-year-old Slobodien, who is a former captain of the University of Southern California’s water polo team.

Slobodien, who was also contacted for comment, was born in New Jersey and won the 2018 Australian Waterpolo League championship. His university profile indicates he was a member of the US youth national team before moving to Australia.

Australia equalled its record of 17 gold medals at the Tokyo olympics.

After an impressive third in 2020, the sheen has come off their resurgence. In 2021 they finished fourth; in 2022 under the new regulations and with hope of a real step forward, they emerged with a car off the pace and ended up fifth. This year has been even worse, with Norris and his new teammate, the talented Australian Oscar Piastri, returning best finishes of sixth and eighth respectively in Melbourne. The downward slide continuing, McLaren are currently sixth in the constructors’ championship. Giles Richards is our man in Barcelona. Lewis Hamilton and his fellow Mercedes driver, George Russell, hit one another on track, the first time the pair have clashed since becoming teammates in 2022. The incident was unintentional, Wolff said, and a failing on behalf of the team. “It’s all down to miscommunication because drivers in the same team don’t want to crash into each other on their final lap in qualifying,” he said. “It was just an unfortunate situation. It looks silly.” Russell, who had aborted a flying lap and was looking to start another, did not know Hamilton was behind him and approaching at pace to begin his own hot lap when he moved over on the straight. Hamilton was forced on to the grass to avoid Russell but clipped him, taking damage to his front wing in the process. Hamilton accused his teammate of backing off, saying: “That is really dangerous.” Max Verstappen is going for three in a row, five from seven, Red Bull continue to go for a clean sweep. That’s about the size of it, though this time Verstappen does not have Sergio Perez for company on the front of the grid. The Mexican is 11th where he has George Russell for company after the Mercedes mixup/prang. Let’s see how tensions are in the Mercs while Carlos Sainz and Lando Norris in the Ferrari and McLaren respectively, look best equipped to try and stop the runaway Red Bull. It seems likely most of the fun will be in midfield with the likes of Charles Leclerc, Sainz and Russell trying to make their way up. Lights out at 2pm UK time, 3pm Catalunya time.

Anatomical and hydraulic adaptations in Amazonian savannas allow flora to survive drought

Anatomical and hydraulic adaptations in Amazonian savannas allow flora to survive drought https://ift.tt/qBcdHpm Amazonian savannas plants survive drought and control water loss through a spectrum of strategies, including resistance to embolism, water use efficiency, and structural anatomy, according to a new study addressing the correlation between anatomical features and plant hydraulic functioning in these ecosystems. The study, carried out by Priscila Simioni and colleagues, found that there is no single dominant functional strategy employed by plants to thrive in the Amazonian savannas. Amazonian savannas, isolated patches of open habitats hidden among the tropical forests, have captivated scientists for decades. Although much progress has been made in understanding the characteristics of these savannas, evidence is still lacking on how their plants differ in traits essential for surviving drought and controlling water loss. To shed light on this issue, a study was undertaken, delving into the intricate interplay between anatomical and hydraulic traits in the leaf and wood xylem of Amazonian savanna plants. Simioni and colleagues meticulously examined 22 leaf, wood, and hydraulic traits on the seven dominant woody species that contribute to 75% of the biomass in a typical Amazonian savanna situated on rocky outcrops in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso. Leaf and wood anatomy of each dominant species in the studied Amazonian savanna. Image: Simioni et al. 2023. Contrary to expectations, the results showed that only a limited number of anatomical traits significantly correlated with hydraulic attributes. The research team found a broad spectrum of variations among the seven species examined, encompassing resistance to embolism (the formation of air bubbles in the plant water transport system), water use efficiency, and structural anatomy. Consequently, the immense complexity of the mechanisms at play within these ecosystems became evident. Interestingly, the variations in embolism resistance were linked to species’ different water use efficiencies. Those species demonstrating lower water use efficiency, such as Kielmeyera rubriflora, Macairea radula, Simarouba versicolor, Parkia cachimboensis, and Maprounea guianensis, exhibited higher stomatal conductance. These findings support the hypothesis that these plants utilize leaf succulence and/or have safer wood anatomical structures to sustain xylem functionality. On the other hand, species displaying higher water use efficiency, such as Norantea guianensis and Alchornea discolor, showcased riskier hydraulic strategies. This study uncovers the intricate relationship between the structural traits of branches and leaves, enabling diverse hydraulic strategies to coexist among Amazonian savanna plants. Within these unique ecosystems, plants employ strategies such as investing in mechanisms that buffer water loss (succulent leaves, for example) or developing safer anatomical structures (thicker pit membranes (the part of the cell wall through which a cell communicates with other cells) and vessel grouping in branch xylem, for example). Simioni and colleagues conclude: Our results suggest that species that inhabit hot and seasonal savannas can exhibit different strategies of drought tolerance/avoidance. These strategies can be equally successful in the maintenance of a favourable water balance, allowing species persistence and co-occurrence. Simioni et al. 2023.
