It seems like you like my questions! So I would like to ask what would you do if you are maria during the 1910s before ww1, what would you do for a week if you are them(Same question with anastasia!)
2. You seem to like the hessian sisters, so which one do you like the most
3.Do you like the Greek princesses , if you do which one is your fav?
hiiiii!!! I love that you love me loving your questions!! Ok this might take a while so brace yourselves lol!
Question 1 If I was Maria Nikolaevna in the 1910s what would I do: first I would definitely go give my father a hug because he is probably stressed and deserves it. Then i would go do some art with my left hand (Im actually left handed too!!!). Then i would right a letter checking on Dickie because I think that he has fallen for me and I want to politely decline him because Father dear would not like me to marry him. Then i would go stand up for myself and not allow my siblings to call me Fat Little Bow Wow. Then i would go use my kindness traits accordingly and be nice to the servants because they definitely deserve it.
Question 2 If I was Anastasia Nikolaevna in the 1910s what would I do: first I would go set up some pranks with Alexei because why not. Then i would throw a snow covered rock at Tatiana’s head because after all I am Shvybzik. Then i would go ride Alexei’s elephant (yes he actually had a pet elephant!) even though I have literally never done that before. Then i would go take some selfies in my mirror because this world moves to slow for me *flicks hair*. Then I will photobomb official portraits that Mama and Father are taking because I think that they would love to see their favorite daughter in their portraits.
Question 3 which Hessian sister do i like the best: this question is really hard because i love all of them so much! By process of elimination i would say that Victoria is not one of my favorites because she doesn’t really stick out that much but she is still really awesome! (And her baby photos are so cute!!!). I would have to say Ella is next on the list but Irene beat her by like 1%. Ella is beautiful and kind but i just like the other ones a little more. But if i discover new baby photos of any of these sisters, i will always love them and i do always love all of these sisters! Irene is probably the most underrated sister! People barely know her! She is so cute and i think when she gets older her smiles are nice! And tying in first place are………Alix and Marie (May). I know May died when she was little of diphtheria but i had to include her in here because she was so sweet and lovable and it is a tragedy that she died. And Alix is probably my fav overall because she has such a good personality to empathize with. She was so little when she lost her happy carefree childhood and she experienced a lot more pain as she grew up. But yeah, the margin between them all is very slim because I love them!
Question 4 Which Greek Princess is my favorite: okay i love the greek royal family! I dont really have them memorized after King Constantine I’s children (i have them memorized but once it gets into the modern greek royal family i kind of back up a bit). My favorite greek princess has to be hands down Princess Alexandra of Greece and Denmark (when she gets married she will become Grand Duchess Alexandra Georgievna) i love her because 1. She is the daughter of one of my fav Russian Grand Duchesses (besides OTMA) Olga Konstantinovna and looks just like her which i find awesome. She also had an awesome bubbly personality and was a risk taker! She also had the essence of beauty flowing around her (just like how people describe Tatiana Nikolaevna) . Sadly she died giving birth to her son Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich. If we are counting Olga Konstantinovna as a greek princess than she would also be my fav!
Thank you for asking me all these awesome questions!!! (Btw sorry this took kinda long to answer)

I finally sat down to thoroughly think about the "OOPS! All dogs" Support List for FGO. You get explanations for why as well. All: Proto Cú (Irish Doggo) Saber: Barghest (Demon Doggo) Archer: Kinda Difficult. But either Baobhan Sith (Fetch in the name of the NP, some sources say the Baobhan Sith in general can shapeshift into wolves but that info is spotty?) or David (heh, he is a shepherd. Like a german shepherd) who is easier on your wallet. Lancer: If you choose Cú (OG Irish Doggo) I don't know what you are on. Rider: Bakin (Dog fanfic writer ig). Sorry for your wallet when NA hits this event. Caster: Caster Cú (Irish Doggo). I'm not sorry. Assassin: Izo (The only reason is because his April Fools Biography says "Still, he's cute. Like a doggy." Little murderous ankle biter) Berserker: Cú Alter (Irish Doggo) Extra: Hessian Lobo (If you dont know why, please get your eyes checked. That's a whole ass wolf in front of you.) Honorable Mentions: Hektor (Good Boy) Moriarty (... Teaching an old dog new tricks) Fergus (Horn dog) Thank @hueylaforet that this exists. Even though I forgot to make it cause I was sicker than a dog the last few days I could try making an Oops! All Cats but I'm too tired for that.

So we're going to go after Tommy F and yeah I'll take his ships 'cause he's just sitting there we need an excuse and covering all that. It's gonna happen it happens with Jason and he's very aggressive he just goes in the wrong place and that's it over. Can't blame you but it is your death Jason

We feel that the Morlock might win however the empire helps bring about change and request the Hessians join up. They are also hiring minority morlocks and yeah that's the Empire.
- They are attacking in the Western Hemisphere and it's large scale tax large scale attacks and they are attacking all of their bases and bases of operation in bunkers and lasers and other it is a larger tack than last night and they're approaching twice the size but about 25% of them are gone already we're on only Monday night this is only the 3rd night by the time Thursday rolls around these forces are going to be massive each hemisphere will have about 0.8 percent attacking every night and then it will be 1.6 percent that's gigantic but we don't think Trump is gonna make it and those numbers he's gonna be gone Wednesday night because he's up front and demands to be and what a pain in the **** and loser what a sucker I've never seen someone fall for stuff so badly he's an imp too and boy does he need to go he in a stupid squinty **** looks you're such an insolent swine because you're dumb and doing the wrong thing just imagine Thursday that you don't have an army you've done wonderfully you don't have anyone no robots no computer nobody else's no people what are you gonna say we're lost in stuff I mean Jesus Christ you idiot

The oldest ancestors I'm aware of: "We served in the Pony Express for a short amount of time and served in the Revolution itself as Hessians before we went back to Germany."
My very very very great ancestors: "We left Germany again generations later—some before WW1 while others before WW2—and did our best to make a living off of anything we could in America like engineering, music, and agriculture. Some of us do in depth research on Native history and try to preserve anything we can learn about their culture so that we can educate others on other races."
My great grandparents: "Most of the men in our side of the family served in the military. Our women worked as seamstresses who would use any money made from the clothing they sold to help build churches and schools. We couldn't do as much for foreign history due to sickness, but we still served as mail carriers and would often invite people over so that we could shoe them artifacts we had from Native tribes. On the other side of our family, we did small music gigs for country and folk artists while running our farm and tending to livestock. We even made planes and cars and trucks...but mostly planes!"
My other great grandparent: "I spent most of my life hospitalized, and the only reason I kept going was because it was my dream to ride horses by myself like my family. I worked at an Irish pub in New York City for a man who paid for me to go to Ireland two or three times with him and my mother, bought me expensive jewelry, and paid me thousands of dollars just because his customers loved me so much. I later worked at a hotel-esque building where we'd let the family members of convicts stay when visiting. I used all the money I saved up to buy my way into Elvis Presley's funeral so I could scoop out a tiny bit of dirt from his burial and hide it in a jar. I haven't gotten rid of a jar since, and even though I dont remember which jar the dirt is in, I know I still have it somewhere."
My grandparents: "We worked mostly as teachers in special education and continued our music career, even though we rarely got credit even whenever we wrote full songs or provided the entirety of the instrumentals for them, and one of us also worked as a sea captain for a bit. We've met many celebrities, but we're more content managing our farms and enjoying our life with our family."
Me: "i don't know what's going on but I'm too tired to exist right now...no, I don't know what a mortgage is."
One of the most amazing things to me is hearing how fucking wild the lives of people in their 70s or up are compared to people in their 40s or 50s were. Like I know that this is obvious but I have never realized just how big of a difference a few decades could make.
#yes these are all true stories#i got permission to share these stories by my family members who were happy that i wanted to share their achievements#though they all think i should give myself more credit#ONE DAY I WILL FIND THAT SMALL SCOOP OF DIRT. JUST YOU WAIT.#also one of my greatgrandmothers getting all THOSE damn perks!? like what happened to bosses like that#i wanna work in an Irish pub and get ton of jewelry :(#/hj on that last one

oh also if you don’t mind doing it could you do your own ocs for the ask thing
WOOO thank you so much for asking this!!! i dont need any excuses to talk about my ocs they live up in my head like parasitic mould
blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)
They’re all my favourites I love them all. That’s a cop out answer so I’ll say Kaleela and Baize as like a pair. like as a double act. as in theyre both simultaneously like i can fix her then go ahead and make each other immeasurably worse. It’s something I think about so so often especially when they’re at the Basilica. Like big talk big head big man Baize Ross gets her ass handed to her in front of everyone by Kaleela and she has to live with that L forever. Oh yeah Kal will never ever let her forget about it. Anyway I’m really sorry to subject you to the mcu and I don’t really know how to explain it but this image is the late stage kaleelabaize dynamic.
scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)
Hmm again I don’t really think of characters this way. infantilising innit. Maybe Lennox because he was the first to be created/developed and I know I subconsciously gave a lot of my own traits to him. Literally everyone is the worst person you’ve ever met no one is scrunkly :( possibly Imad but I haven’t put enough thought into him yet
scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)
Kaleela!!!!!! I feel like I don’t talk about her enough she’s so brave and smart and caring. She’s able to easily hold her own as someone that’s 100% human and totally normal while surrounded by the wackiest people you could ever imagine. I mean she’s not totally normal, she’s a minor celebrity and probably a fairly low level household name, she’s had tv talk show appearances but most people wouldn’t recognise her on the street. Genuinely Kal’s probably the only character I’d willingly meet if they were real people. Maybe Lennox too but if I had the opportunity to make any of them real (why would i do that wtf) it would be Kaleela
glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)
Originally this was Crow then I gave in and upped his screentime. Probably either Romulus or Nikolai (the ‘leaders’ of Basilica and the College respectively) because they only play a small part (Rom appears for a lot longer than Niko like by miles) in the actual plot but overall in the lore they’re incredibly important and influential. It’s all background world stuff really. I need to write up a mock history book that would be kind of funny but too much effort
poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)
They’re all quite problematic (except Kal really) but I reckon if this was a real thing that had a fanbase Aidan would definitely be controversial because he’s put forward that way on purpose. Like you only hear about him from this person who’s had her worldview extremely extremely distorted and warped then find out he’s a fairly ok guy if you disregard the horrific crime of passion. trivia time: his full name means cleric of the sun god. Wack. Also people probably won’t like Romulus because she nerfs Baize but I like her because she nerfs Baize.
horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason)
Crow. I want to put him in a hessian sack and smash him against the wall. I’m a very loving father. Also werewolf characters in general because they would probably say something hysterical like tch really is that all youve got then die of untreated concussion right there where they stand. This is a universal trait
eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)
Hollyhock Keaton. She’s not particularly ‘evil’ or a major part of the plot or a super powerful being or anything she’s just a prick. But she’s unaware that she’s a prick so that makes her even more of a prick. Ngl Baize should be shipped off to superhell too. And anyone with any kind of influence in the Sanctum deserves a million deaths

Could I request a fic where the reader has sore hands and shiz after working and comes up to meet orlo in the library and he sees her hands or they start bleeding or something and then fluff fluff fluff x thanks in advance lots of love x only if you time and are able to, dont force yourself and i love all your work i really do, im not just saying it and love you as well
this ask is so lovely ty!😘 cw: alcohol
“Thanks,” you mumbled, taking an over-filled wine glass from Orlo.
Even in your presence he only drank the weak stuff, too sensible to chug spirits like the rest of his contemporaries, but damn the man had good taste in red wine.
Sometimes you wished he’d drink a little more, loosen the reigns on control. You were yet to see it.
The count settle on the chaise beside you, exhausted from a long day, but spirits buoyed by the alcohol. And perhaps your presence, you liked to hope.
The bandage wrapped around your hand was lightly bloodied to match the glass, and made it difficult to grip. You adjusted the dressing with irritation. Orlo balked when he noticed. You rolled your eyes.
“Your hand!”
“Yes, Orlo. That’s what happens when idiots smash their glasses all the time.”
“It’s bleeding!”
No shit. Every ‘huzzah’ which echoed from above send a wince around the servant’s quarters, the familiar sting of glass fragments making the footmen and maids’ skin itch.
The chandeliers would be reflected on the floor in broken glass, which even hessian sacks would be cut by. Clean up was a nightmare. Too slow, and you were yelled at. Too fast, and your skin would be cut to ribbons.
“They’re nothing. You should see the scars on my fucking feet,” you joked.
You barely had time to set your wine glass aside before he hauled your legs into his lap, pulling off your shoes to examine the marks beneath them. The damage weren’t obvious at first, mainly small patches of scarred skin from stray pieces of glass which found their way through the flimsy shoes the palace provided. Style over substance, those things.
It was a fight to keep your skirt pushed down decently, as the count held your ankle to see more of the scars. Finally, when you protested enough, he stopped looking. You dropped your feet into his lap, trying to ignore the twinge in your stomach at being this close to him.
His hands still explored the skin there, feeling for raised bumps which might betray an old injury.
“I can’t believe you didn’t tell me about this. I’d never even thought…” Orlo trailed off, running a finger along a particularly long, perfectly straight line on your right foot.
“That one is actually from stepping on sheep shears,” you admitted. “Went straight through my boot.”
Serfdom felt a million miles away from your life now, but it had left its mark.
Orlo finally looked up to your face, and you could see the tears swimming in his eyes beneath his glasses. Maybe it was a good thing he didn’t drink more, he’d be inconsolable.
He reached out for your bandaged hand, and you let him take it, having to shuffle yourself closer to him on the chaise to remain comfortable. He cringed at the sight of the blood, unwrapping the dressing to examine the deep gash a chunky piece of shot glass had made. Certainly not as nasty as the champagne glasses tended to be.
“I’ll tell Peter to ban glass smashing, it must cost us a small fortune anyway.” He went to continue, but you cut him off.
“You’d know,” it was meant in jest, but Orlo frowned.
It was pointless. His bold words, with no possible action behind them. Just one of those things.
“One of these could be my fault.”
You shrugged, not particularly bothered by the notion.
“Unlikely.”
“Possible.”
His glasses got in the way as he rubbed at his face, and you took them off him, folding them and putting them to the side. He certainly never seemed to struggle without them. He smiled at the gesture, before beginning to carefully rewrap the bandage.
“I’m sorry.”
“I’m sorry for you too. I saw the mockery Peter made of you today.”
“At least I get nice apartments out of it.”
You laughed, looking around his rooms with admiration. You could see him in every corner of this space, his personality slowly overtaking every surface in trinkets and artwork, the stacks and stacks of books distracting from the grandeur of most rooms in this place.
“Put in a good word for me, hm?”
“I wouldn’t want you that close to him,” he admitted.
You quirked an eyebrow, looking at him curiously. You found him impossible to read at times.
“Yes?”
“I fear he would find you rather too appealing, quite frankly.”
You loved it when Orlo tried to flirt. He stumbled over it incredibly, an eloquent man completely stuttering and flustered over his own words. Frankly, you found it more endearing than any poetry, any Casanova you might meet.
“Why is that, then?”
He took a deep sip of his wine, and you reached for your own, smiling when Orlo got it for you instead.
“Because, you are the most beautiful woman in this palace, and you don’t even wear silks.” You rolled your eyes. He never failed to remind you how much he wished he could order you nicer everything. “And, because he never fails to try and take anything I desire too badly.”
“And what might you desire?”
He hid his face in his hand as he watched your reclined form, feet still nestled on his thighs.
“I think you know the answer to that, my love.”
You smirked at him as you drank once again. This was a good vintage. You knew Orlo had been saving it for when you had an evening together.
“I wish my hands didn’t hurt quite so much, I should like to put them to better use.”
Orlo brought a hand to his face once again, making an attempt at hiding the embarrassment on his face.
“You will be the death of me, I swear.”
“I’d rather it didn’t come to that.”
A sobering silence permeated the room, and you wished you’d kept your mouth shut. One hand clasped your ankles as Orlo finished his glass in silence, placing it carefully on the floor. With a little jostling, he managed to lay beside you on the chaise.
“I believe he will be amenable to raising your status one day,” Orlo whispered. “I wish to wait until he’s married, a bit more settled, first.”
You sighed.
“You’ve been saying that for months. I don’t believe that time will ever come. And they’ll mock you until you find a wife. Or a lover of your own standing.”
“Well then, they shall have to mock me.”
His breath, his voice, ghosted across your ear and made you shiver. His arms wrapped around you, holding you to him. It was hard, to do what was right.
“That’s not fair. Not on you.”
“It is what I want. And if I cannot raise your rank, I will lower my own.”
Pretty words.
“Please don’t, you’d fucking die as a servant.”
“I could be a farmer.”
“You can’t even dress yourself.”
“A soldier?”
“Shut up.”
“Then I guess, we will have to remain like this.”
With his warm body behind you, there were worse places to remain. Safe in his arms, and safe in the knowledge you had a future ahead of you, alongside Orlo.
#count orlo is chatting shit because hes an idiot#13atoms#fic#count orlo#count orlo x reader#request#also i didnt beta this im sorry

actual unpopular go opinions
because the ones online were cliche and half assed
-mashu good. and imo overall shes not really as forced to be your “waifu” as characters in other games. 1. theres an explanation- the player saves her life and she saves their life several times, and 2. the player character actually has a face and personality, making it an easy fucking option if you dont relate to their role of “loves and cares for mashu” to just be like “yup, thats guda/ritsuka, not me”. other games (im looking at you f-h) do the government assigned waifu thing way worse with way less likeable and interesting characters, plus dont even have a face to assign to that role so it is obligatorily “you”.
-re: the main fate series, i just find no appeal in it. (zero, any of the 2004 era routes) the characters are kinda ok on their own and in other settings (like go for instance), and possibly in small doses (cf), but i think its a combination of the storyline and tone and ect. that just make anything following the narrative of zero/stay night absolutely unwatchable for me. ive seen the two hf movies with a friend, but with any of the other parts (the animes, including even the cooking one) i can barely handle getting through the parts i like. ive seen the cu episode twice and dont plan on seeing any more. its a shame really. it seems like something that would appeal to me but the constant mean spiritedness of the characters is really draining for me, i think because its supposed to be sympathetic.
-apoc is good. it does more for the characters than most fate things do, actually offering multi dimensional characters with a chance of redemption rather than just killing off everyone who isnt a main character. sieg’s story and motivations are interesting to see, and to see develop, and along with the original medea/medusa/heracles (not their iterations in later stuff) the greek heroes in apoc (atlanta and achilles and chiron) are actually well done. i kinda hate how later stuff/go has gone abt greek mythology, with the exception of circe. i also dont have a problem with some characters having smaller roles, its a big ass cast so thats bound to happen. but they have fleshed them out better in other works, the best example being avicebron in lb1. theyre supposed to be a parallel to saber and kiritsugu, but i liked the mordred and sisigou dynamic infinitely better.
-knk is very good, but i would not recommend it to those who would be uncomfortable with the gore and sensitive topics. its not really an essential thing, esp for go only, and just knowing the brief summary is probably fine. but i do find it one of the more.. enjoyable works in the franchise, if not a bit terrifying.
-eor in general i have no plans to play at all. it failed to engage me from start to finish. at best i just felt uninterested in it (agartha and shimousa for the most part) and at worst pissed off beyond compare (@ what they did to hessian and lobo, esp the insinuations that neither is strong and cant be servants, and just salem but especially how they treated sanson in it). i felt 2017 go as a whole was really uninteresting and not very investing, and very much overshined by 2018 go in a lot of ways (esp 2017′s reliance on “you must hate this character!!!!11!!”, which to be fair was carried over from the previous years. but they didnt do it in 2018 so. you can do this, you just choose not to)
-also re: part 1, the ending was very bad. reliant on cheap plot twists and character death for an emotional investment, and its painful in a cringe way to see it again now for na. babylonia was ok, but the rest of the later game story in 1 was kinda awful.
-part 2 (lostbelt) is actually not bad once you get past some of the bullshit thats a turn off. or at least lostbelt year 1 was not bad. i feel like the second camelot and whatever the hell wodmine is up to could be the disappointment that 2018 go was spared. but i can be grateful that lb1 finally got me to fall for musashi, because eor was a big turn off for me to her, which is a shame because she is really good.

Be Home For Christmas
Christmas Challenge: request by @whispersandwhiskerburn with Dean and the song I’ll be home for Christmas by Rascal Flatts Listen to the song first, I’ve used a few lyrics throughout but haven’t bolded them. I’ve just kinda gone with a feeling and a theme, i think ... AN: Thanks to @babypieandwhiskey for beta-ing this for me.
“I’ll be home in time, darlin’, don’t you worry.” Dean reassured, ignoring Sam’s shaking head. “You better, Winchester!” Y/N chided, remembering the same promise, broken last year. “I will! I’ll be home for Christmas.” Dean sighed, praying to whoever was listening, that this was a quick case. “Let me guess, I can count on you?” Y/N finished before hanging up. “Love you too,” Dean said sarcastically before turning to Sam’s laptop, paying attention to exactly what his little brother had found.
“I can’t believe there’s a dream stalker before christmas, doesn’t it have a heart?” Dean said, his exasperation for hunting shining through. “I think that’s the point.” Sam said, half jokingly, rubbing at the back of his neck when a silence passed between them. Sam held up a fist in his palm. “Rock, paper--?” “Oh, just give it ‘ere.” Dean snatched the jar of dream root mix out of Sam’s hand and downed the concoction, stumbling back till his calves hit the motel bed. Sam quickly moved forward and caught Dean’s shoulder before he fell backwards, attempting to lay him down gently.
“Dean!” Y/N greeted, jumping into his arms as soon as he stepped foot inside the house. She smothered him in kisses, finally pulling back to look into his green eyes. “You made it!” “You can count on me!” He said with a nod, pulling her impossibly closer while kissing her. “I can’t wait for you to meet the family!” She said when she pulled away from his plump lips. “The family?” Dean muttered, following as she pulled him by the hand into the family room. Dean noticed the cream walls, the mahogany doorway, the shining floorboards. This wasn’t their place. This was Lisa’s. Lisa’s when Dean had lived with her. “Uh, babe?” Dean said, giving her hand a squeeze. “Mom, Dad, meet Dean, my fiancee!” Y/N introduced. Dean’s eyes widened before flicking to the silver band attached to her ring finger. The gleaming rock fixed to the center.
Had she found it? He hadn’t asked yet! This was meant to be her Christmas gift. “Congratulations, son!” Y/N’s father greeted, a hand extending towards the older Winchester. Dean took it and looked up. Black, glassy eyes stared back from a pale white face, a beaming smile of pointed teeth. Dean tried to drop the hand, but long nails began to dig in, holding him in place. “Y/N!” Dean hissed, reaching for his partner, swinging his arm out to the side, trying to pull her behind him. But all he got was a pocket of cold air. “Y/N?” Dean looked to where Y/N had been, now a wispy, grey glow of her body, floated where she’d stood. “Sam!” Dean bellowed. He tried to pry the man’s hand off his, finally pulling the claws from his own flesh, turning for the door. But Y/N’s mother stood in the way, and no matter how fast Dean tried to dodge around her, there she was. He shoved at her, but she didn’t budge. She pushed at him, a hand straight to his chest, sending him flying across the room now turned bunker. “Sam!” Dean yelled again. The woman’s face shifted and changed in a blink to that of a man Dean had never met before. “Yes, that’s right, yell for help!” The man sneered.
Dean pushed himself up the concrete wall, standing again, feeling his way along the room, hoping to come across one of his guns. “You’re the dream stalker.” Dean snarled, putting it together finally. “I thought I had at least another minute’s worth of fun with you.” The man sounded disappointed, like he’d missed the chance to play with his favourite toy. “Oh well…”
Sam watched as his brother’s face ran a range of emotions, happiness, confusion, anger, terror, fear. Dean’s body began to thrash and convulse on the bed, as if he were possessed. Sam waited, hoping he wasn’t going to miss the only chance they had. “Sam.” Dean muttered, almost inaudible, easily missed. But Sam heard it all too clearly. He pried Dean’s clenched fist open and planted the blade in his palm, curling his brother’s fingers back around the handle. “Y/N?” Sam called into the bunker after opening the door from the garage. “Sam?” Y/N’s voice rang back, the light pat of her barefeet told the hunter she was running up the corridors. “You made--” Y/N’s words fell away, her eyes went wide. “He’s shopping.” Sam quickly added, pulling her from her worst thoughts. “Jesus, fuck, you scared the crap outta me.” Y/N said, closing the distance and giving his arm a solid punch. “You were the one that assumed.” Sam chastised, pulling her into a headlock and walking them both down the hall. “Lemme go!” She laughed, pushing out of his hold, not noticing that he’d let her, or that he’d stopped dead in his tracks. “Y/N,” Sam breathed as he rounded the corner and saw the christmas lights through the arch at the end of the hall. “Good?” She asked, pushing her hands into her pockets and rocking on the balls of her feet. “Good? Amazing.” Sam corrected, pulling her into his side. “Thanks. I hope Dean likes it.” Y/N mumbled, spinning when she heard the tell tale creak of the iron door opening.
As the man’s hands connected with Dean’s throat, Dean’s fist connected to the dream stalkers gut. The hunter let out a choked breath, the man let out a low gurgle. Both looked down. The handle of a blade was protruding from the dream stalker’s stomach. “How?” The dreamstalker burbled. “Guess yelling for help worked.” Dean ripped the blade back out from the man’s stomach, watching as black smoke spilled from the wound.
“Oh my god!” Came the loud, gruff voice. “Christmas threw up in here!” Dean said from the crowsnest at the top of the stairs. “Dean!” Y/N squealed, she almost hadn’t believed it when Sam had arrived, now she had Dean, and a whole day before Christmas!
“You made it!” She launched at him as soon as he reached the bottom step, spinning as he caught her. She planted a chaste kiss on his lips and smiled. “You can co-- I sure did!” Dean corrected himself, the dream still fresh in his mind. “There’s someone I’d like you to meet.” Y/N said, slipping down from his hold, pulling at his arm. “Uhh, if this is your parents, I can’t… I mean,” Dean fumbled for words, pinching at the back of his hand. “My parents? All the way from New Zealand?” Y/N turned and gave him a funny look. “No. Trust me,” She gave his arm a slight tug, biting her lip, waiting for Dean to choose to follow.
And he did. Sam’s curiosity got the better of him, and he found himself following behind. They headed down the hall and stopped outside the first bedroom door, normally the empty one. “This, is Rex!” She said, laughing when a grown German Shepherd bounded out and jumped up at Dean, excitedly licking at hands that came to scratch his ears. “A dog?” Dean asked. “No, a goldfish.” Sam couldn’t help himself, crouching to pet the eager old dog. “I adopted him, he was old and they were gonna, so I brought him…” Y/N trailed off when she looked at Dean. “I hope you don’t mind.” Y/N’s puppy eyes would champion Sam’s any day. “He’s not going in the Impala!” Dean’s words weren’t exactly a jovial yes, but they were along the lines that Y/N was expecting. And she jumped at him once again, crushing her lips to his. “You want your present early?” Dean whispered as he pulled back from a bruising kiss. “Naturally,” Y/N said, not at all aware of Sam trying to usher Rex out of the hall. Dean reached into his back pocket and produced a tiny hessian bag with drawstrings. “It’s not big or flashy, but I saw it and … well it reminded me of you.” Dean said with a hesitant smile, watching as Y/N pulled the bag open and tipped the contents into her palm.
“Baby!” Y/N breathed, holding up the leather strap, letting the intricately woven silver pendant dangle from the end. “It’s an infinity knot, it means,” Dean paused, swallowing thickly, suddenly overcome with emotions but tongue tied against expressing them. Y/N pressed a firm but loving kiss to his lips, lingering in the intensity of the moment. “Thank you.” Y/N whispered against his lips as she pulled back and placed the necklace in his hand.
She turned her back to him and lifted her hair. Dean couldn’t help but smile, this woman understood him completely. He fastened the necklace at the back of her neck and pecked just above it, before snaking his fingers over her hips and turning her back around. “I love you.” Dean said. “Even if I got you an old dog?” Y/N chuckled, winding her arms around his neck. “Mmm… maybe.” Dean joked, getting a mock look of shock from her. “I love you.” She affirmed, reaching up on tiptoes to seal their affection between their lips.
And on that Christmas Eve, Y/N didn’t care that Dean hadn’t proposed, all that mattered was she could count on him. Forever.

Anya: *heads down the stairs* =_=
Kana altair: ....
Anya: "...Oh. You."
kana altair:.....your lovelife is a mess, isnt it?
Anya: O\\\\\\\O "WHERE THE CRAP DID THAT COME FROM?"
kana altair: i just know.
Anya: "..." >\\\\> "Let's say...that was true. How would you know?"
kana altair: the walls have ears.
Anya: >\\\\\\\< "...Darn it..." *sits* "...What is wrong with me?"
kana altair: your heart is in several places at once.
Anya: "...How do I put it in one place?"
kana altair: if you want to find happiness, try to focus on yourself first.
Anya: "But that's what I've been doing!"
kana altair: is exhausting yourself to train really for yourself?
Anya: "...No. It's so I can find Yana."
kana altair: ....i see.....where would you even start looking?
Anya: "..." *heads in hands* "I don't know. The group she was with can't be found."
kana altair:....i doubt that will have been the last you saw of her. with any luck, she'll turn up again.
Anya: "..." *sits closer to the table* "Could you...do a card reading?"
kana altair: of course. *setting up*
-the cards chosen are the lovers, temperance, and the fool-
Anya: -_-# "Ignoring 'the Fool'...What do they mean?"
kana altair: the lovers, representing relationships and choices. it appears there is a choice in your life you wish to make, regarding your relationships. for temperance, it seems to state if you are single, chances are this isnt the time for you to find a relationship. as for the fool, it represents a new beginning.
Anya: "...So what, I should just give up on..." *hugs her knees*
kana altair: ...perhaps you will get lucky, perhaps not. who knows.
Anya: "..." *sniffs*
kana altair:...i'll give you time to think it over.
Anya: *nods* "...Thank you."

katrina: i guess....
Crane: "...So, about your research paper..."
katrina: what about it?
Crane: "I quite enjoyed it! Your sentence structure needs work, but your research was solid--and surprising!"
katrina: is that right?
Crane: "You used the family archives for some of the research--not many of us get to use them."
katrina: .....y-yeah...
Crane: "I'd love to take a look at them." ^^; "Think your parents would let me?"
katrina: i-i dont know...
Crane: "Well, I could ask them..."
katrina: good luck...
-she should at least know of it. you should bring her along, maybe she knows something-
Crane: "...In fact, I had mapped out a new location..."
katrina: ??
Crane: "One site your ancestors visited when locating their future estate. Oh, you should see it--great view!"
katrina: really now?....hmm...
Crane: "Not too far from here..."
katrina:.....
emily: hm....
Steinbeck: "..." ("What's he doing?")

baum: ??....*takes dorothy's hand and follows behind*
Steinbeck: "..."
Crane: *smiles* *follows forest trail*
katrina:....so what exactly are we doing?
Crane: "You'll see--I found some of the remains of early surveying and initial construction."
Steinbeck: "..." *following*
katrina: oh?
Crane: *nods* "I think it will help your research--you can even use it to publish your essay!" *takes her to a more secluded spot*
katrina: you sure you're not planning to do something horrible like murdering me?
Crane: O_o; "Wait, what?! No!"
-in the girl's defense—
Crane: -_-; "Just...look over here at this tree..."
katrina: ......
baum: ......
-there is a cave just ahead...looks old..-
Crane: "See how the tree has a marker on it? Where does it point to?"
katrina: points to that cold cave....
Crane: "That's where they kept building equipment..." *walks to it*
katrina:.....*uneasy*
Crane: *takes out his phone, turns on its flashlight, shines inside*
katrina: ......
Crane: *shines the flashlight onto--*
-there is something covered by a sheet-
Crane: "That's odd...Katrina, could you grab that?"
baum: ???
katrina:...*pulls the sheet back*
Crane: "..." *small smile*
-there is a woman's head there...-
katrina: *SCREAMS*
Crane: ^^; "I guess that's a normal reaction..."
katrina: w-w-what the hell is that?!
Crane: "A head."
katrina: I CAN SEE _THAT_!!
Crane: ^^; "I'm sorry for not telling you the truth sooner. I guess I got caught up in my discovery..."
emily: w-what the hell is this?!
Crane: "...Remember the Headless Hessian?"
emily:....!!
katrina: y-you mean....
twain: looks a bit too fresh to be any hessians, i'd think.
Crane: "?!" *turns*
katrina: !!!
emily: professor, just what is this?
???: idiot! i told you they were onto us, but did you listen? noooo!
Steinbeck: ._____.;;;;
Crane: -_-; "I'm trying my best!"
emily: ????
katrina: w-what was-?
????: just open your shirt so i can breathe!
Crane: "..." *sighs* >\\\\< *opens his shirt*
-there is a skeletal face there....-
???: and who might you lot be, eh?
katrina: !!!!! *passes out*
twain: *nice catch* easy now, easy…
Steinbeck: "!!! ...J-Just some passer-bys..."
???: issat right?....*glances at Hemingway*
Hemingway: "...Huh...What did you do to yourself?"
???: it's simply my ability, lad. attaching my soul to another living being. speaking of which, ichabod! you _did_ remember to bring my body here, right?
Crane: "Yes, yes, I remembered...It's around the corner."
emily: ability? wait, you're an ability user?
???: yeh, th'name's washington irving.
Steinbeck: "...The old man?"
irving: watch you yer calling old, boy! >3<#
emily: you were with the guild, correct?
irving:....how d'you know 'bout that?
Steinbeck: "Because we _are_ the Guild."
irving: ?!
Steinbeck: "I mean, we're the remnants of the previous Guild that Fitzgerald took over--You know what, this is taking too long, why the hell do you have a face on you?!"
Crane: .\\\.
irving: i just told ya what my ability does! ichabod, hit the blondie for me, will ya?
Steinbeck: "That doesn't explain jack! Why would having your soul attached cause you to grow a face--"
Crane: *picks up a shovel* "Okay!"
Steinbeck: "?!" *steps back*
irving: it's a side effect! >3<#
Steinbeck: "So's this!" *a vine appears along the ground, grabbing Crane's wrists before he can bring down the shovel*
Crane: "GRK?!" O_o
emily: alright, we have questions, and you're sure to have answers. first of all, what exactly is going on here?
Crane: *tied by vines* ._.;
Hemingway: "...I'm shaming this. So much."
Steinbeck: *clears his throat* "So. Headless Hessian. Why is the head so well-preserved and not rotted? What did you do to keep it looking this...um, good?"
irving: you want to tell them?
Crane: *defeated sigh* "So...I've been researching the Headless Hessian for some time, came upon the head, saw it lasted for so long, and figured, hey, must be something to that."
Steinbeck: "...Okay. You're a _professor_. I _know_ you can be more long-winded than that!"
emily: -_-;
irving: from what we found out, seems there's more to the hessian soldiers than initially believed.
Crane: *nod nod* "Just reach into the Hessian's mouth--*
Steinbeck: "WHAT THE HELL?!"
twain: *reaching in* ewwwww its all wet! phrasing!.....*ahem* *pulls out....a dogtag with a symbol and a name; Elsa Van Tassel*
Crane: "So...Yeah, kind of needed a Van Tassel here for that..."
twain: holy plot twist.
katrina: *coming to* nng....huh?
Crane: "...and with her here and awake, now we can figure out the secret to immortality!"
katrina: whats going on here?
Hemingway: "Well, if it's what I think it is, your creepy teacher has a head growing out of him and wants to take your body to use it to figure out how to extend the life of said body-face man."
irving: THATS NOT WHAT IT IS AT ALL, YOU BEEFCAKED OAF! we just want access to the family library and needed to give her a reason as to what's going on!
-emily explained to her what was going on-
katrina: ..n-no way.....i thought it was just an urban legend....right?....i-i didnt think the hessian was real, let alone a van tassel!
Crane: "Well, it is real. And please, we need your books--this is the discovery of the century!"
katrina: t-this is so much to take in....
emily: *examines the symbol on the dogtag* ....*snaps a picture*
baum: *pouts* i was hoping to show off in combat, too....darn...
dorothy: next time...
Crane: "Please? Irving and I would be so grateful..."
katrina:....i.....i'll think about it........*stares at the head*....she looks just like me...but older....
Crane: ^^; "I thought the same. Sorry for not telling you sooner, but when I saw the resemblance and checked your family history..."
katrina: .....d-do i tell mom and dad?
Crane: "Well, given your reaction, may be a better idea not to let this news get out. We're not ready to share this news with the world yet."
katrina: g-good call.....
emily: well, if its not too much to ask, we have some questions regarding the old guild, if mr irving is willing to answer....preferably in his own body? ^^;
Crane: ._.; "...Uuuuuum...I think that'll hurt--"
irving: just but your hand on my body's, i'll take care of the rest.
Crane: >~< *whimpers* *touches Irving's head* "Eeeeeew..."
twain: creepy.
Crane: *shivers*
*Something is heard moving around the corner*
emily: ??
baum: *SCREAMS AND JUMPS into the arms of the nearest person*
Hemingway: "???" *holding Baum, looks* "...Oh, Irving!"
Irving: *marches out* "Yeah, yeah..." *yawns, stretches* *smacks his lips* "...So, what time is it?"
emily: about 10:38 pm.
Irving: "No, what year?"
emily:.....
-later-
emily: so we were told about you from ms wilder.
Irving: *yawns* "Oh? How is she?"
emily: she's doing well, living with her children and grandchildren.
twain: QwQ she its hard for a little old lady...
Irving: *small laugh* "Yeah, I remember..." *rubs his chin* "She say anything nice about me?"
emily: she thought you were dead.
Irving: "...Well, that's not nice."
emily: ^^;
Steinbeck: "And you came here to...what, find a way to live longer?"
Irving: "FOREVER."
emily: hmm....so what do you know of the other old guild members? we heard mentions of a salinger and a harper?
Irving: "Zzzz..."
emily: *shakes* SIR!
Irving: "URK!" *clutches his chest* "Don't do that to an old man! ...Oh, right, J.D. is in the City, and Harper is in Alabam-ee."
emily: which city?
twain: alabama eh?
Irving: "..." -_- "_The_ City. New Amsterdam City."
Crane: *cough* "New York City, sir--"
Irving: "I knew that!" >_<
emily: i see, thank you. do you know of any other old guild members?
twain: other than melville, cause we know where he is.
Irving: "Well, Wilder is in the Midwest--"
emily: we know, we already spoke with her a while back ^^; which is how we found you.
Irving: "...Who are you?"

Becky: "And they still let you adopt kids?" *small smirk*
soul: *laughs*
Becky: *laughs* "...I hope I'm doing well in school..."
soul: im sure you are.
-elsewhere-
stocking: so whats this meeting for?
Mephisto: *walking into the facility* "A follow-up and de-briefing about the Illuminati..."
stocking: hmmm....no updates on shima's end or...?
Mephisto: *finger over his lips* "I'll explain later..."
stocking: hmmm....
-and so-
Mephisto: "--and buying the land allows them to hide their research facilities under a glorified tourist trap."
stocking: from our findings, they were drugging locals and tourists and using them in experiments, one of their head researchers died during the raid on the facility...but in fairness, he deserved it.
drac: yes, but personal feelings aside, we had procured some of the artificial zombies and sent them to a research lab for testing.
-a video is displayed-
drac: as you see, the specimen retains a humanoid form. its brain barely functions, but the flesh rapidly regenerates. it was eliminated after about 30 direct shots to the brain stem.
stocking: ....
lewin: *raises hand and waves it* mm! mmm!
Triple A: "??? Yes?"
lewin: speeeaking of zombies, why not ask death city's two zombie experts? mr igor neuhaus and the DWMA's dr franken stein. they both have experience with living zombies, albeit via different circumstances.
Mephisto: "I am inclined to agree--their perspectives would be valuable."
drac: but what do those two have to do with the illuminati's research?
Mephisto: "Aside from knowledge about zombies, they are thorough."
stocking: ....
Mephisto: "And the Illuminati has been looking into demon eaters..."
drac: !!
true cross higher up: and what proof do you have?
Mephisto: "Well, let's think--they want immortality..."
drac: so their looking for stronger material?
True cross higher up: so they have yet to produce a proper vessal for satan...lord pheles?
Mephisto: *nods* "If they had, we'd see it by now."
stocking: dad, they’re asking you something.
higher up: lord pheles, if you could ask your spies to gather info on where they have its central elixer apparatus, it would be appreciated. if we can destroy it, even if the gate opens, we can prevent satan from entering assiah.
osceola: and yet i fear the gate itself requires greater caution. at the given moment, lord pheles' barrier has it contained, but it's attracted low to mid level demons as of late.
true cross member 3: the russian government has sealed the area off in a 100-kilometer radius, but the taint to the region is severe.
???: that's not all...
stocking: ??
lucy yang: the demons in the area have been more wrily as well, it's kept us all from getting any decent sleep. >3<#
stocking: so if the gate does open, people would see demons everywhere, and basically, everyone is in for a really bad time.
true cross member 4: cant lord pheles forestall the gate’s expansion
stocking: im pretty sure repeatedly stopping time and space would do more harm than good.
Mephisto: "Think ‘uber catastrophe’ times nine billion and then some."
-uneasy silence-
Mephisto: "The Illuminati has grown so large that we have to accept the possibility that they are not operating alone--an entire nation may be supporting them. Given what we have learned from our moles, the Illuminati may be humanity's worst enemy."
stocking: *shaking*
Triple A: "Like we need your lying moles to tell us that! How do we even know the information you present is the truth? You could just be trying to sow distrust, King of Lies..."
Mephisto: "..."
stocking: *blade at his face* look, i get that you have a thing against demons, but still, im not going to let you talk shit to my father like that. regardless of where his loyalties lie, he's my dad.
higher up: settle down, both of you!
Mephisto: "Stocking! Stand down!"
stocking:.....*takes her seat* s-sorry....
Mephisto: *sympathetic nod* "...Words do deceive...so perhaps you need more evidence..." *unbuttons his jacket*
stocking:....*her stomach drops in shock* dad....*tearing up*
Mephisto: *there are cuts, blood, and blackened skin on his chest* "I have had to expend my body to keep time from moving the Gate."
lewin:....in any case, now's not the time for fighting amongst ourselves. we're still reeling from the incident, and are in no condition for direct action. right now we need to make preparations to prevent any further incidents.
lucy yang: agreed, we need more personnel.
osceola: we should inform national governments as well.
higher ups: i hope you all get good rest tonight, because one hell of a storm is brewing.
-later-
stocking: …..dad?
Mephisto: *smiles* "Yes?"
stocking: does mom know? *she's still teary eyed*
Mephisto: "..." *nods*

seriously you can just look at each one:
Dante, at the start of prison tower event: hahaha you're gonna die and im gonna record the whole thing! Avengers are beings of hate and sorrow you'll gain no quarter from me! You'll wish that i granted you the mercy of death by the time im done with you!
Dante, 5 minutes into it and realizing guda doesnt actively dislike him: If I Am Not By Your Side At Every Given Moment I Will Literally Die Please Continue To Struggle Because I Will Always Be Able To Follow You With Your Valiant Efforts
-
Jalter, Orleans: Incredible how pathetic you are. Even if i am nothing but a dream i will make my existance known by shattering your hope and taking you with me
Jalter, suddenly existing as a freely thinking being: i love you. PLEASE BE CAREFUL you could have tripped over that leaf and died and then who would i love???? do you need someone killed? Please let me kill someone for you. My existance is solely for your sake because you were the only one who bothered to care
-
Angra, Fate/Hollow Ataraxia: lmao i know i suck but maybe dont be too friendly with me? I am a very efficient human killer after all and i would not hesitate to kill you for shits and giggles
Angra, after Bazett/Guda told him that they care one time: my entire life was nothing but torture and suffering, and i had cursed the world for allowing me to exist for the sole purpose of experiencing pain, but maybe our bond proves to me that all my suffering was for the moment i would finally meet you and find someone i truly love
-
Gorgon, incarnated: You are a bug. You are nothing more than a snack for me to devour. I will obliterate everything that you are and make sure that you feel as i feast on your entrails-
Gorgon, being called reliable 10 seconds into that introduction: ...You are adorable. Like something could depend on me haha...I bet youre just...trying to survive yeah...like ANYTHING could stand having me around....please dont ever die or leave my side
-
Hessian/Lobo, Shinjuku: this human thinks they have any right to stand by my side. It is their miserable race that brought my kin to heel and made them bleed for no reason other than worthless greed and a disgusting lust for dominance. Humana are miserable creatures who exist solely to inflict pain.
Hessian/Lobo being given one(1) pat: You are my child. I will run by your side for eternity. You must be of my kin; defiant, strong, chasing the dream always out of reach yet ever approaching. My kin may have been lost, but even if I may know this, i will run by your side and look for them because you are one of them, so therefore they may still live.
-
Salieri, meeting Guda: ha, moron. Im an avenger you know? I would kill you in an instant and laugh about it as i make a piece venerating and immortalizing how worthless your existance really was
Salieri, sobbing after recieving a hug and a pat on the back: hfokaxownsw why do i exist....please never leave me....i dont want to suffer alone
-
Astarte, Saber Wars II: You are a valuable piece for the ritual my commander has planned. I will ensure your comfort but remember that you are my prisoner and i will ultimately sacrifice you.
Astarte, post Saber Wars II: marry me, im SUPER available and this galaxy is putting out
I love that Avenger classing usually means that they're horrid abominations of hate and suffering who poison everything they touch and want nothing more than to annihilate the world around them which is true to a very minor extent but that was the description given to them by asshole Mages and when you give them a halfway decent master like Bazett or Guda then they're the class infamous for falling hard and caring too much

THE TOP 10 Lighting Trends of 2017
Firstly, some fads and fashion about lighting in 2017 -
As an owner of a small electrical company, not only do we install many different lights, we also specialise in electrical design and work closely with our owners to have them achieve the look they are after.
I treat every client differently. If they have their heart absolutely set on a certain light or style, i rarely tell them i don’t like where they are going with their look. The person that these new lights needs to impress are the home owners themselves, after all, they’re the one that has to live with it.
If these home owners are coming at me with an open mind, for my personal design advise, questioning what styles are popular or what lighting may help increasing the homes value, thats when i actually get excited!
INS:
Whites - They’ve always been in, and will be for many more years to come.
Blacks - This is a new trend, and can give any house that super modern edge. I fear it could be a bit of a trend that may faze out in the coming years, but i got on the wagon myself.
We’ve only scratched the surface on this, so check out a more detailed breakdown below.
OUTS:
Stainless steel - This is a very late 90′s, and 00′s look. By all means if you want your down lights to match your dishwasher go right ahead.
Surface mount Oyster lights - Everyone has these somewhere in there house. Wether it be a circular fluorescent , or a glass oyster. These are noting but an eye sore and a moth collector.
Dont get me wrong, there are heaps of other disgusting fittings out there that could potentially be lowering the value of your home.
We are more than happy to give you our FREE personal opinion and recommend some suggestions prior to the work. Do not hesitate to email us!
#10 FESTOON LIGHTING
Because festoon sounds way classier than “party lights” right? If you’re the social type and are going for a budget lighting solution outdoors these guys are worth considering. Fairly low cost to purchase and very low cost to install.
We recommend making sure the globes you purchase are quality LED. These guys can swing around in the breeze and incandescent or halogen globes dont seem to last.
# 9 GLASS
Glass fittings are commonly used in hallways and above kitchen benches. Get that pendant look with the illusion of keeping the house clutter free.
Great feature either side of a window or glass door. You’ll get that sophisticated effect without blocking the view. Glass and black trim seem to be majorly in this year.
Fairly easy to maintain, with the occasional dusting. If you’re like me and have a couple of kids running around, be sure to tell them to keep their hands off!
#8 HESSIAN
Hessian fabric is tough, natural and stylish. If you’re pushing that country look and want to do it on a budget this is something to consider.
#7 SOUTHAMPTON STYLE
Clean lines, hard surfaces are what make this a popular style. We like to call it “The all rounder”.
Something like this can be a great idea if you’re looking at selling. It’s a versatile light that will suit if you’re a minimalist or like dressing up your home.
The Southampton look offers hints of the Americas. This range would suit both traditional City & Country homes.
Can be a little bit more involved to install with some of these domestic lights weighing unto 20kg.
#6 INDUSTRIAL, COPPER, RUST & VINTAGE
Do you have a home with history? One of the most important things to remember when choosing your lighting is selecting a style that resonates with your home.
Usually more of a city look, these kind of lights are really easy to clean and maintain. True vintage fittings can walk the wallet so check out the chic replicas to save a packet!
This look goes well with a polished concrete floor, a fire place and a glass of red wine. Rest assured, they will never go out of fashion!
#5 GARDEN LIGHTING
Why spend all that time in the garden without being able to show it off 24 hours a day?
Lighting is not always about the fitting itself, rather the lighting it produces.
Garden lighting creates ambients and can double as a safety feature. Your friends might not have even noticed those Gazanias had it not been for those fantastic lights.
They now come in a range of colours, LED and are extremely easy to install. No trenches involved - Call us for a free quote!
#4 WICKER & BASKET PENDANTS |
If you live near the beach or away from the city like I do and want to extend that vibe, look at bringing this natural look into your home.
Wicker is a technique woven from any one of a variety of cane-like materials, including rattan, willow, reed and bamboo.
Keep the place breezy, light and calming. These come in all shapes and sizes and are a snack for us to install.
#3 BATHROOM NIECHE LIGHTING |
Your bathroom needs to be a place of relaxation. Somewhere to wash the stresses of everyday life away. Its almost impossible to find your inner-zen when its lit up like a hospital.
Yeah, we get that you need some bright lighting to see the dirt between your toes but creating that subtle, ambient effect can do you the world of good.
#2 BEDSIDE PENDANTS |
Bedside tables can be known as a dumping ground. Sometimes room to even put your coffee cup can be hard to find if there is a lamp on show.
The way around getting some bedside space back is to hang your lamps from the ceiling.
If these can be switched without moving from your bed you’re all set to get cosy with a book.
Ask us for advise on the perfect height to maximise practicality, and minimise disturbance to anyone on the other side of the bed.
#1 THE HUMBLE DOWN LIGHT |
For the ultimate beam angle and to maximise your lighting for a small cost, these guys are the most popular lights on the market.
Replacing surface mount lights with these little gems can really open up your room and make a place look bigger (and cleaner) that it once did.
Recessed and discrete these LED down lights can bring a wow factor to other statement pieces you might like to highlight.
With a growing trend of open plan homes and the fact these guys next to no power - 9.5w, your not only giving your house clean lines, you’re saving the environment too, man!
With a 7 year warranty, why wouldn’t they take the mantle for the number one spot! You can get these guys in Warm, Cool and also Natural light.
Just hit us up!

somehow i am becoming the avenger mom in fate and i dont mind it at all
yall can join caddock and katsu in the my sons pit
i spend so damn long trying to befriend lobo and hessian and enkidu take pity on me and somehow work something out and after like months prolly lobo like sniffs my hand or something and i feel #blessed
senpai of course i latch onto immediately. hes surprised but also super flattered since a lotta times hes not the dominant personality of the duo of him n lobo, hes more than ok w that but if he had a face hed be blushing at me constantly holding his arm n stuff
eventually i run into angra and im surprised hes not just some brightly dressed neighborhood kid from his personality, after finding out the heck hes been through i get super protective of him. this kidll get the actual happy teenagerhood that he didnt get in life and ill make dang sure of that. hes an absolute gremlin and takes full advantage of this tho
dantes/jalter/gorgon dont live in my chaldea buuuut if they did????? id probably tease dantes a lot, like calling him “sweeney todd” or “mr komaeda” but when it came down to it id try to help him out too. same w jalter, tho id prolly tease her less. gorgon is mom???? id be too intimidated to tease her or anything like that and prolly mostly just get too nervous/awed around her to say or do anything. but im sure w enough time i could warm up to all 3 of them
and gosh sacchan where do i even start. whats there to be said about sacchan i ramble bout him enough already ahahaha. anyways i just wanna hold him and gently kiss him, and if he gets hurt ill kiss his injuries while holding him gently and whispering reassuring things to him. me showing up to go on a date w sacchan to listen to music and eat sweets but then angra pops in like “oh nice, free food” when things start to get awkward, dragging senpai w lobo not far behind. i love all my kids
honestly tho itd be so sweet to be out on a sunny day with a cool breeze by the river in the afternoon and just look over and see angra, senpai, lobo, and sacchan all asleep/resting, peaceful and content looks on their faces and just be heckin overwhelmed by the fact that all these vengeful spirits are finally smiling naturally and are at ease and just be so happy you can see them at this ease
