Ikemen Prince Real Life Castles

Hi babes! I'm feeling like adding yet another layer of delusion to our already delulu brains, so here’s my take on what IkePrince castles would look like in real life. This way, you can visit them while pretending to be Belle running down the hallways looking for your beloved prince.

Rhodolite

The Rhodolite castle would be grand and ornate, with French Renaissance and Baroque influences. Expect elegant stonework, elaborate gardens with fountains, and decorative elements like balustrades and statues. The interior would feature intricate tapestries, gold accents, and chandeliers, exuding an air of refined nobility and romance.

Some examples could be:

Château de Chambord - France

Palace of Versailles - France

Château de Chantilly - France

Château de Chenonceau - France

Schönbrunn Palace - Austria

Dunrobin Castle - United Kingdom

Lednice na Moravě - Czechia

Château de Ussé - France

Obsidian

The Obsidian castle would have a stern, gothic architecture with imposing towers and stone walls. Think of dark, medieval castles with fortified structures, high walls, and sharp angles. Interiors would be minimalistic and austere, emphasizing function over ornamentation but with a touch of grandeur in public spaces.

Some examples could be:

Hohenzollern Castle - Germany

Edinburgh Castle - Scotland

Moszna Castle - Poland

Burg Eltz - Germany

Garibaldi Castle - Russia

Château du Bousquet - France

Inveraray Castle - United Kingdom

Cologne Cathedral - Germany

Benitoite

The Benitoite castle would be built with Italian Renaissance and Mediterranean styles in mind. Expect warm-toned stone, arches, and decorative columns. Courtyards would be lush, with fountains and intricate tile work. Interiors might have frescoes, marbled halls, and large windows to let in light, creating a grand yet inviting atmosphere.

Some examples could be:

Palazzo Ducale - Italy

Belvedere Palace - Austria

Howard Castle - United Kingdom

Catherine Palace - Russia

Palazzo Pitti - Italy

Miramare Castle - Italy

Swallow’s Nest Castle - Ukraine

The Royal Palace - Spain

Jade

The Jade castle would be charming, integrated with its natural surroundings. Built in a style that’s less imposing and more in harmony with nature, it would be surrounded by gardens and water features. Think of understated beauty, with an emphasis on wooden accents, greenhouses, and large windows overlooking gardens and the forest.

Some examples could be:

Stoke Rochford Hall Leisure Club - United Kingdom

Harlaxton Manor - United Kingdom

Knebworth House - United Kingdom

Castle de Haar - The Netherlands

Château de Villandry - France

Lowenburg Castle - Germany

Brissac Castle - France

Vouzeron Castle - France

Tanzanite

The Tanzanite castle would be exotic and filled with intricate details, such as domed roofs, archways, and extensive mosaics. The castle would feature courtyards with fountains, lush gardens, and reflective pools, creating a tranquil and mystic vibe. Interiors would be lavish, with patterned tile work, vibrant colors, and plush furnishings.

Some examples could be:

La Sagrada Familia - Spain

Alhambra - Spain

Golestan Palace - Iran

Ali Qapu Palace - Iran

Topkapi Palace - Turkey

Alcázar de Sevilla - Spain

Taj Mahal - India

Shrine of Hazrat Ali - Irak

Kogyoku

The Kogyoku castle would have traditional Japanese architecture, with wooden structures, curved tiled roofs, and wide, open spaces for viewing nature. The castle would be surrounded by gardens with koi ponds and sakura trees. Interiors would feature shoji screens, tatami mats, and simple but elegant furnishings.

Some examples could be:

Himeji Castle - Japan

Matsumoto Castle - Japan

Shuri Castle - Japan

Nijo Castle - Japan

Osaka Castle - Japan

Katsuyama Castle - Japan

Nagoya Castle - Japan

Kinkakuji Castle - Japan

Achroite

The Achroite castle would be a blend of Scandinavian minimalism and rugged fortification, built with stone and wood. It would sit atop a hill or near a lake, with a natural and slightly harsh look. The design would be simple, with a focus on functionality and integration with the landscape, including large fireplaces and wood-paneled rooms for warmth.

Some examples could be:

Neuschwanstein Castle - Germany

Château de Ferreries - France

Château de Boismorand - France

Château de Vigny - France

Château d'Haroué - France

Hallgrimskrikja Cathedral - Iceland

Bojnice Castle - Slovakia

Pierrefonds Castle - France

And that’s everything for now! I’m planning to continue this exploration with possible traditional dances, music, customs, fashion, food, and festivities each kingdom might have. What do you think? What would you like to explore next?

See you on the next post my dears!!!!! XOXO

Harlaxton Manor, Harlaxton, Lincolnshire, England by Paul Highnam

[scotianostra]

20th December 1789 saw the birth in Edinburgh of William Burn, the architect who pioneered the Scots Baronial style.

Burn was educated at the High School in Edinburgh's Old Town. He started working in Robert Smirke's office in London , before returning to Edinburgh to work with his father, Robert Burn, the designer of the Nelson Monument on Calton Hill.

William Burn's earliest commissions were for public buildings Custom House, Greenock,as seen in the second pic, the Ledoux-like Gasworks at Tanfield, Canonmills, County Hall, Inverness and many others, but his large and phenomenally successful practice consisted mainly of commissions for country-houses. Blairquhan, Ayrshire(pic three), is an example of his Tudor Gothic style.

By c.1825 Burn was designing in a Jacobethan manner that became his speciality. Scottish vernacular architecture and tower-houses were added to his sources from 1829 Faskally, Perthshire, and Tyninghame House, East Lothian (pic four), but, from his completion of Salvin's great Harlaxton Manor, Lincs. (from 1838), his work became more ebullient, leading to his best houses, including Falkland House, Fife, Whitehill Hall, Midlothian , and Revesby Abbey in Lincs.

Although enormously prolific, it is said that Burn perhaps never quite rose to great architecture: his work was described as “competent, very often agreeable, but sometimes veered towards the dull”. He took his nephew, J. MacVicar Anderson, into partnership, who continued the practice after Burn's death. I also noticed that David MacGibbon, of MacGibbon and Ross also worked with him.

Other major works Burn designed were St John’s Princes Street, Edinburgh, (pic five) and Dundas Castle in Midlothian.(pic six), which to me are anything but dull.

SCP-3992, "The Manor"

(The page break denotes when it shifts from Foundation to Insurgency)

Item#: SCP-3992

Object Class: Thaumiel

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3992 has no current containment procedures due to its function as a stationary landmark that is designated as a private property to the public. All delivery people are to be questioned. The public should be dissuaded from entering on-premises. Those bearing Chaos Insurgency insignias are to be allowed free access to the property.

Description: SCP-3992 is a manor located at [DATA EXPUNGED], constructed by O5-4, originally for the purpose of living with his family. It was constructed in [REDACTED] and was continually updated all the way until the present day. The manor has an exterior reminiscent of the Harlaxton Manor, bearing incredible size and length. The front has an elaborate pinwheel gate and an expansive courtyard, complete with a pool, hanging gardens, and an innumerable amount of artistic statues, created by ██████

Following a meeting, the Manor became designated as the location where all of the overseers would live. To aid in their protection, O5-2 used what he described as "deception magic" over the interior of the building, causing the rooms to twist and manipulate, with the express purpose of aiding the inhabitants and leading interlopers to their demise.

Following a visit from another reality, the Manor became sentient and was assigned the designation of SCP-3992. The Manor has near full control of the property and seems to be powered by O5-4 and works in conjunction with O5-2 and his magic. SCP-3992 has shown several abilities:

the ability to manipulate a room's layout

relocate doors

connect rooms impossibly

manipulate flooring

manipulate most furniture

Operate humanoid figures such as suits of armor or statues. (It must be noted that a visible tell of such manipulation is the appearance of plant growth where it shouldn't be, a sign of the power connection between it and [REDACTED]

Create tangible illusions of objects, rooms, and entities

Despite its nature towards the inhabitants, no personnel are allowed on site unless given explicit permission by the overseer council.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Addendum-3992-A: Due to the impossible nature of the interior, mapping the Manor is futile. However, mapping attempts have shown recurring rooms, which are listed as follows:

Temple - seemingly a mix between Incan and that of SCP 8291, "The Deep Woods"

Chapel - Vaguely Christian in design

Art gallery - All art seems to be of the inhabitants

Drawing room - A room full of paintings and sketches. One claim of SCP-085 and SCP-021 being present has been documented.

Dining room - a grandiose hall fit for the consumption of food.

Kitchen (3) - Three kitchens have been documented throughout the location, the most used being the one adjacent to the dining room. This particular kitchen can never be connected to anything other than the dining room and the mudroom.

Courtyard - the courtyard extends around the entire perimeter, but is mostly referred to in the backyard.

Foyer - The opening room.

Gardens - There are a few gardens on the property, but the Hanging Gardens reminiscent of ancient Babylon are often recorded.

Astronomy room - One of the towers has a telescope, designed to view space scps, such as SCP-████

Statue room - A room full of statues, each designed like a former overseer

Bedrooms (50+) - Places where people sleep. The number is inconsistent, with as few as twenty (20), and as many as eighty-two (82.) However, the most consistent number is placed in the fifties (50s).

Meeting Room - While never mapped, a room where the council meets for discussions has to exist.

Tea Room - A Victorian-style room designed to have a soiree.

Toy Room - A room full of toys, presumably for O5-5

Music room - A room full of instruments. There exists a glass mosaic that cracks easily.

Summon room - A room with arcane symbols, runes, and a summoning circle.

MISSING room - DATA MISSING DATA MISSING DATA MISSING DATA MISSING DATA MISSING DATA MISSING DATA MISSING

Library - An expansive library filled to the ceiling with a variety of books, from kids books to ancient tomes.

Jungle room - A room that seems to be overgrown with plants. Multiple reports list a plane wreckage.

Infirmary - A place where the sick or injured are sent to

Mineral room - A place full of crystalized gems, built for O5-3.

Danger room - Appears to be a room to test out different weaponry.

Junk room - A room piled high with broken objects

Trash pit - Above the Junk Room. Acts as the main disposal system.

Repair ward - A room designed to fix robots and other mechanical entities

Casino - Serves no real purpose aside from entertaining guests. Has a bar.

Pantry - Connected to the kitchens. Stores dry food.

Recreation room - A room for entertainment. Has a billiards table and darts

Data room - An information hub that stores O5-13-ii. There seem to be data ports for other Ais. They seem to be named for them.

Warehouse - A storage room for the Manor. Allegedly there exists an instance of [REDACTED]

Clothing room - A glorified walk-in closet. Seems to double as a sewing room.

Bug room - A room full of insects and insect scps, such as 408.

Clock room - A room full of clocks. The purpose has yet to be known or revealed.

Dissection room - A room for the dissection of cadavers, used by one of [REDACTED]'s husbands.

Honey room - an extension of the Bug room, it seems to be a bee-themed room, coated in honey. Traversing through this room is not recommended.

Monitor room - A room with cameras that scan and search every room. Use this to confirm as many rooms as possible.

Sauna (2) - Two saunas exist on property.

Lounge (5) - While five lounges exist, only two have been confirmed so far as being real.

Crow Bridge - A bridge connecting to halves of the property together. An unnatural swarm of crows eternally fly around, attacking any who cross.

Hollow Tree - A partially hollow tree grows through the property. Uses unknown, as it seems to be very guarded.

Pumpworks - A room set aside to control all the water and pipes.

Circuit room - The electrical equivalent to the room above.

Workshop - A place for practical crafting. Contains a woodshop saw.

Mudroom - Connecting the kitchen to the outside, this place is where muddy boots are stored.

Aquarium - There exsists a room that is full of fish, including anomalous ones.

Archives - Connected to the library, and built for O5-1. Contains physical files of everything involving the Foundation

Parlor - Several anomalous maps indicate a parlor exists, although none have been mapped out.

Sewers - A sewer system exists, and it appears larger than it should be. O5-12 has set up a nest here despite the bug room existing.

Basement - A basement has been found via mapping equipment. An instance of [REDACTED] lives there.

Attic - An attic was mentioned several times by individuals as existing there.

Dragon room - A room for O5-6. Very spacious, and full of ice and seemingly active magma.

Firing range - A room for O5-7, O5-11, and O5-13. Houses an array of weaponry.

Gaming room - A room for O5-10. Large collections of video games and every console and accessory known to humanity.

Grand Koi Pond - A pond for O5-2. Features large koi fish and boasts a beautiful Japanese design

Relic room - A room near the foyer, housing many ancient artifacts discovered through past expedtions.

Clocktower - A clocktower in a steampunk fashion is nestled near the middle of the Manor. Physically cannot be moved.

Furnace Room - The heart of the Manor. Temperatures are deadly.

Freezer - A seperate room attached to the kitchens, acting as a universal teleport arond the grounds.

Train platform - There seems to exist a train station. Where it goes is unclear.

Servant passageways - While not a room, there exist hidden passageways that are used mostly by workers to navigate smoothly throughout the property

The Pit - Not to be confused with the Trash Pit, it seems the Pit is an endless crevasse. Maybe something lives in it?

Flooded Room - A room appears to be flooded by SCP [REDACTED]. Extractions requested.

Addendum-3992-B: There are a plentiful amount of workers that live on the premises as permanent residents. For a full list see [DATA CORRUPTED]. If the link is inaccessible, please consult your superior for a request of the list, should it be necessary for an excursion.

Addendum-3992-C: [REDACTED]

Addendum-3992-D: An artifact involving cheating death is at the relic room. This is a high-priority item to steal when you attempt the lives of the council.

Diana/47 and number 11 for the Spooky prompts? (I'm a sucker for a good Gothic mansion!)

Happy Halloween! This was supposed to be spooky, and then it became sugary sweet fluff so uh... *chucks ficlet onto dash and runs away*!

--

Diana frowned as she parked her car, double-ckecking that she had gotten the coordinates right.

"There's nothing here," she muttered to herself. Why would 47 have her come here at dusk? It wasn't like him to leave notes for her lying around in the safehouse, but it also wasn't possible for anyone to have entered the grounds without them knowing about it. So the message on the dining room table had to be his.

Suddenly, she spotted a red ribbon in between all the greenery surrounding her. As she approached it, she realised that it wasn't a ribbon: it was a man's necktie. One she knew very well. It was tied to a cast iron door handle. She pushed down, and the gate, completely hidden by the plants and bushes, opened up to reveal a long, narrow cobblestone path flanked by rows of trees, leading up to the back of a Victorian mansion that looked like it had been plucked straight from the pages of Dracula.

Diana's heels clicked on the stone, making her way to the imposing building. When she neared the garden front, she noticed a trail of ICA Outstanding Performance coins leading away from the main building, towards the conservatory. Chuckling to herself, she crouched down and picked one up, following the arrow shape they had been laid out in.

The lights were off in the conservatory, but small lanterns were casting a golden glow onto the impressive collection of plants. The relative warmth inside was a welcome contrast to the cold October air Diana left behind her once she entered the glass building. A figure in a navy-coloured dress stood in the centre of the room.

"Victoria?" Diana asked, stepping closer so she could hug the girl who had become her adopted daughter of sorts. "Hi," Victoria replied. She handed Diana a white rose, its thorns removed. "This is for you. Wait here." Then Victoria walked away, leaving Diana by herself in the middle of the conservatory.

"I had a speech prepared, but I'm not sure I'll be able to recite it now." Diana jumped at the sudden comment from a familiar voice, and spun around. 47 was sitting on one knee, clad in a suit that matched Victoria's dress. Diana suddenly understood why her favourite dark blue blouse had been laid out for her after her shower this afternoon. "47, I..." "I really just need an answer." He pulled a small box out of his pocket and opened it to reveal a delicate ring set with diamonds and what she assumed were rubies. "Yes," Diana whispered without a single moment of hesitation. "Yes." She watched with bated breath and trembling hands as 47 slid the ring onto her finger. It fit perfectly. When he stood up, she pulled him in for a kiss, and didn't release him until her need for oxygen made her lightheaded.

Diana Rieper-Burnwood certainly had a nice ring to it.

--

Note: The building 47 sent Diana to is modelled after Harlaxton Manor.

Harlaxton Manor near Grantham, Lincolnshire is a visually impressive country house set in 300 acres of parkland. It was built in 1831 for Gregory Gregory, a wealthy businessman from Nottinghamshire. The unique architectural design combines elements of Gothic, Jacobean and Baroque styles.

Harlaxton Manor has an interesting history, and has had several owners since the death of Gregory Gregory in 1860. (His life story (and two name changes) makes interesting reading.) During WWI, the grounds were used for training soldiers in trench warfare.

From 1937 to 1948 the estate was owned by Violet Van der Elst, an inventor, entrepreneur and businesswoman. She introduced the first brushless shaving cream. During WWII the manor was requisitioned by the War Office and used as the officers’ mess for RAF Harlaxton nearby, before housing the 1st Battalion of the British Airborne Division.

Mrs Van der Elst sold the estate to The Society of Jesus, better known as The Jesuits who used it as a novitiate.

In 1965 Harlaxton Manor became the first American university campus in Great Britain when it was leased to Stanford University, California.

Since 1970, Harlaxton Manor has been the home to Harlaxton College, part of the University of Evansville, Indiana, USA.

Despite it's architectural splendour, you may not of heard of Harlaxton Manor before, unless you studied there. That is because the house and gardens have only recently been opened to the public for the first time. It is only open to visitors on certain dates and tickets must be pre-booked. https://events.harlaxton.co.uk/
