Bagheera's Arcade Route Intro

A working man tasked by the big man to get some scrapping in. I think the big Tiger just wants to see Bagheera get beat up or maybe hes doing him a favor? maybe this is a test of some sort...idk I cant read the guy, if I could id be running his company instead BAH

although it looks like this Panther is hoping to reconnect with more friends on this trip 

Were doing a tournament on Patreon we have 3 main characters story to follow. although the fights will be determined by a Boxing simulator so... they very well can be eliminated first round.  They all start at the same stat average and peoples votes allows more points to be put into them. the characters chosen to have an arcade route story were the top 3 most voted characters (minus Shere Khan who is the final boss. He was actually number one so hes really really powerful) so hopefully they wont get knocked out so early.

Chamber of Unlight - Realm of the Night

Tamperelaisen, vuonna 2016 perustetun pumpun, verkkaisesti ulostettu debyytti. Hyvää kannatti odottaa, sillä perseestä puserrettiin pelkkää timanttia seitsemän biisin verran (koska introa ei lasketa). Heti ensihetkistä käy selväksi, että tässä kumarretaan Emperorin alkupään tuotannolle. Skandinaavisen ysärihenkistä ja nostalgista bläkyä siis. Homma tehdään tyylillä eikä asiaa ole tarkoituskaan peitellä. Lätty pyörähtää vauhdilla läpi ja kiima iskeä uudelleen soittoon on suuri. Orkesteri koostuu monissa pyhissä tulissa ja pimeissä rienauksissa olleista taikureista, joiden vöiltä löytyy mm. Paaraa, Bythosta, Deathchainia, Hornaa, Trollheims Grottia, Ajattaraa ja Chaosweaveria. Ime siitä, saatana. Lätty julkaistu elokuun 12, 2021. Spotify.

5 Ways Springtime Can Bring Relief and Renewal for Those with Chronic Illness

Intro

As the chilly winter fades away, the colourful blossoming of spring appears as a season of renewal, providing a feeling of rejuvenation to those struggling with chronic illnesses. This time of change can certainly serve as a source of hope and revitalization for many, including myself.

How Weather Can Affect Chronic Illnesses

As someone who lives with chronic illnesses, I have realized that the weather can significantly impact my health. Changes in temperature, air pressure, and the cold can exacerbate my symptoms, such as chronic joint pain, muscle pain, and fatigue. Meanwhile, excessive heat can lead to dehydration, brain fog and debilitating fatigue. By paying attention to the weather, I can better manage my health.

I keep track of the weather forecast so that I can make necessary adjustments to my daily routine. For example, this helps me manage the effects of cold weather on my chronic illness. For example, I wear warm clothing such as fluffy socks and a blanket to prevent joint pain.

Additionally, in managing the effects of warm weather, I prioritize staying well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water and avoiding sugary. Wearing lightweight, breathable clothing and staying indoors during the hottest parts of the day also helps me stay comfortable. Additionally, using fans or air conditioning to keep my living space cool is essential.

It's important to listen to my body and take breaks/pace when needed, and I find that planning activities for cooler parts of the day can make a significant difference. By being proactive and mindful of these strategies, I can better cope with the impact of weather on my chronic illness.

Spring is here

Below I have explored five ways that the renewal of springtime can uplift spirits and provide solace amidst ongoing chronic illnesses and health challenges.

The Healing Power of Spring Air

As the first signs of spring emerge, it signals a time for renewal, especially for those with chronic illnesses. The shift to warmer weather encourages gentle outdoor activities, which can improve health through mild exercise and movement. Furthermore, it can enhance mental well-being by interrupting the indoor routine and providing a refreshing change of scenery.

Nature’s Colours

Springtime is a showcase of nature's healing power, with its vibrant colours that can help alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression related to chronic illness. The contrast of blooming flowers and lush green landscapes against the dull winter greys can have a profoundly calming effect.

Fresh Food from Nature’s Kitchen

With the arrival of spring, fresh produce becomes available, which is brimming with essential nutrients that are crucial for managing chronic health conditions. The delights of strawberries and the nutritional wealth of spinach from farmer's markets not only provide a palatable taste but also support overall health and wellness.

Gentle Physical Activity Bathed in Sunshine

Spending time outdoors is not just about sitting on a park bench in the sunshine. It could also mean engaging in light activities such as gardening, which can provide a boost of Vitamin D that is beneficial for people with chronic illnesses. Vitamin D is known to have positive properties that can help alleviate the symptoms of such chronic illnesses.

Spring - A Season of Hope

It is an opportunity for us with chronic illnesses to acknowledge the symbolic significance of spring as a season of renewal and hope. The transition from the cold of winter to the warmth of spring serves as a powerful reminder that change is on the horizon, signalling that better days are within reach.

Spring reminds us that change is not only possible but inevitable and that we should embrace this change with open arms. The blooming of flowers, the chirping of birds, and the longer daylight hours all contribute to the feeling of renewal that spring brings. It is a time to shed the darkness of winter and embrace the light and promise of a new season.

Final thoughts

I am eagerly looking forward to the many advantages that this season brings, as every attempt to care for my health is a step towards a brighter future, even when you are a chronic illness sufferer. Spring is an enchanting season that symbolizes the revival of life after a long and harsh winter.

This time of the year provides a perfect opportunity to pause, reflect and recharge, and is particularly for those of us struggling with chronic illnesses. The comforting presence of these beautiful creatures and the vibrant colours around us can bring a sense of hope and joy, and instill in us a deep sense of appreciation for the simple pleasures of life. Every effort in our health during this season is a step forward towards a brighter and happier future. soothing for the make to manage

“Ah, so you’re finally awaken.”

Set responded, while he sat on a chair and stared at Kaiba as the other slowly shifted on the seat he had fallen asleep on. By the looks of it, one didn’t have a good rest and the other hadn’t had any sleep.

“You know, the noise isn’t really coming from me. Your machine has been acting up for, quite awhile actually.” The spirit pointed out, as he even gestured towards the machine in question.

“I’m surprised it woke you up, it seemed like you were in a deep sleep.”

The Bad Batch x Reader Senate Party Intro

A/N: Hey so @rainydaydream-gal18 does this super cool thing where they do like, choose your own ending stories for the Bad Batch! I think they are super freaking cute and I’ve decided to try my hand at it. If you haven’t already go check out their stuff. Here is a link to their masterlist.

Also check out @nahoney22 ! Her Crosshair x Reader fic, “A Night to Remember”, was a big inspiration for this. It follows you and Crosshair going to a party to get information (he also buys you a dress!). It is very cute and I love it and I loved that scenario so here this thing is!

__________________________________________

Reader Pronouns Used: She/Her in the endings.

Summary: Reader picks out a fancy dress and gets glammed up to infiltrate a big important party with the Bad Batch. 

___________________________________________

“Aren’t you excited?” Omega asked. The two of you were walking through rows of dresses in preparation for an important assignment. You ran your hand along some of the soft fabric and sighed.

“I guess?” You said, “I’m just…It’s been a while since I’ve done something like this.”

“Well, if it makes you feel better, I’ve never done something like this.” 

You smiled at the reassurance and gestured to a rack of dresses. 

“These will all be about your size,” You said, “Why don’t you pick some out and you can try them on? I’ll go look for something just over here.”

“Okay!” She skipped over to the rack without a second thought and you straightened up, hoping to emulate some of Omega’s enthusiasm.

The rest of the Batch came back to your side of the store. You’d left them to get their outfits properly fitted for tailoring. You and Omega were just bringing a few dresses to the changing rooms, having narrowed down what you wanted to try to 5 each. An accomplishment given the variety. You waved the boys down and sent Omega into the fitting room to try on her picks.

“Well, once you two are done we’re all ready.” Hunter said, “Thank you for helping us pick something out by the way. You’re the closest thing we have to an expert here.”

You almost cringed at the thought, but you’d been to a few important functions like this before, so he was technically right. Giving the boys direction to find suits that matched their preferences while still being stylish enough for the company of galactic senators had taken up the first half of your day. Omega was ever helpful, though she did gravitate toward louder pieces. She was a good influence on all of you during this experience.

“Strange that they’d insist on us being part of the party.” You said, “Plenty of armored guards come to these sorts of things.”

“Yes, but we are supposed to be at least a little discreet.” Tech said, “As to heighten the probability of gain-”

“Gaining vital information regarding the identity of a potential spy.” Echo finished, rolling his eyes, “I don’t think this-” he held up his scomp link- “is really what I’d call discreet.”

“Yeah, we kind of stand out in a crowd.” Wrecker chuckled. He was probably the most okay with the situation besides Omega, though he was upset about the discretion.

“Yes, well, unfortunately it is a bit short notice for that, Echo, though I assure you, there will be guests in attendance with extensive cybernetics. It will be fine. Looking the part is most of the battle with these things. It’s simple psychology.”

“Speaking of looking the part…” Crosshair nodded at the dresses in your hand.

“You and Omega found a few then?” Hunter asked. You nodded.

“She’s trying her first one on now.” 

You hung your picks on the rack outside the dressing room and took a seat. The others followed your lead. The shop was fairly small, so Wrecker and Echo decided to sit on the ground. Tech opted to stand while Crosshair and Hunter took the other available chairs.

To say your group looked out of place in the shop would be an understatement. Your armor alone made you stand out against the bright colors and soft fabrics. 

“You can let me know if you need help, Omega.” You called, “Some of these can be pretty annoying to lace up.”

“I think I got it!” She called back. Soon after you heard the changing room door click and Omega appeared.

Her first pick was a soft yet vibrant pink color. The A-line skirt stopped just above her ankles and the sleeves gathered up into ruffles at the shoulders, stopping around her elbows.

She waved at you all and it dawned on you that maybe she wasn’t as confident as she was letting on. Her smile looked slightly nervous. This was an entirely new experience for her, too.

“It looks…nice.” Hunter offered. You gave her an encouraging smile. It did look very cute.

“Is it comfortable?” Echo asked.

“I…think so?” she turned a bit, getting a look at herself in the mirror. Her eyes brightened.

Tech tilted his head, “What about practical?”

“The skirt is good, you’ll be able to move your legs freely without tripping.” You said, approaching her to inspect the fabric a bit closer, “Try moving your arms.”

She did so, and you saw the fabric bite into her shoulder slightly. She couldn’t put her arms all the way in front of her, but you held your tongue, not wanting to be too critical of the first dress she’d picked out.

Omega looked at it for a moment longer then said, finally, “Not this one. It wasn’t really my favorite anyway.”

“Alright, next dress then.” You smiled, opening the door to the changing room for her. She walked back in and you took your seat again.

“How many dresses did she pick out?” Hunter asked. Your smile turned quickly into a smirk.

“A few.” You said. “And we will be patient for all of them.”

You shot the boys around you a look. They all understood what you meant. Omega had been nothing but patient and encouraging as they hunted for formal wear. It was their turn to return the favor.

You sighed in relief, then decided to give an actual answer, “She actually ended up taking in 5.”

“Surprising.” Hunter looked back at the changing room.

Wrecker chuckled again from his seat in front of you, “I would have thought she’d try on the whole store!”

“Well maybe you tired her out.” You gave Wrecker a gentle shove. The door clicked again, catching all of your attention.

After trying them all on Omega made a decision.

Omega ended up going with her 3rd dress: a deep blue one with small rhinestones falling down the skirt which stopped a little below the knee. This skirt was quite a bit more voluminous than her first choice. The bodice still had sleeves, but the fabric was loose enough to allow her a full range of motion.

You were pleased with her choice and more than proud of how she pointed out the practical advantages of it to you alongside how much she liked certain aspects of it. The rhinestone pattern and sparkles looked almost like falling stars while the skirt would be a good hiding place for a blaster and a vibroblade.

“Alright, you’re turn!” Wrecker cheered, pushing you into the dressing room. You’d nearly forgotten about yourself.

“Hey! I need the dresses first, Wrecker!” You tried to push back against him but it was no use. Fortunately, you spotted Crosshair behind him holding your dresses. He passed them to you.

“Thank you!” You smiled, taking them from him and shutting the door quickly.

For the first time since you’d arrived at this shop, you finally had a moment alone. You took a deep breath, steadying yourself against the tiredness in your bones, then hung each of your dresses out before you.

You were most excited to try on….

SLIDE 1:

Open Seas, aka Pirates and Propriety, a WIP intro by zmwrites

SLIDE 2:

sure i have a plot

Tess is 24, which means (in this society) it's time to get married

she arrives in Ayrith for the social season and encounters several suitors

one of them proposes to her at her FIRST event of the season, she panics, takes a walk along the boardwalk to clear her head..... and is promptly kidnapped

(oops)

while kidnapped, she befriends Petra and Dorian, and the three of them lead an escape (kidnappers are actually slavers which is just not cool)

she soon learns that Petra and Dorian are pirates

she's a shipping heiress so there's some conflict of interest

they try to part ways but things go terribly wrong and Tess ends up a guest on their ship, The Allegiant

the crew decides to help her get home

it does not go well

also she still has to decide who she's going to marry when she gets back?? wtf

SLIDE 3:

our perfect regency heroine, Tess

Theresia "Tess" Bowen, 24, heiress & socialite

only child of a very well-off businessman

her father finds her too kind and deferent, has declared that her future husband will lead the family company instead of her

modest in every way (perhaps too modest), plays the piano, enjoys embroidery, knows how to dance, has literally never worn pants

never strays from the rules of propriety

has accepted her role is to marry and bear future heirs for the family business, is picking suitors based on their business acumen (her inheritance brings all the boys to the yard)

suuuuuper not a pirate. like at all. this woman has never been without a maid to do her hair.

how will she survive on a pirate ship? stay tuned to find out!

SLIDE 4:

the suitors

Caspian Saville, 30

#1 eligible bachelor around town

rich in his own right, but a second son

was close with Tess last social season

Tess' parents #1 pick

stupidly attractive

Nicolau Carvalho, 24

also freshly on the marriage market

heir to a rival shipping company (uh oh)

understands her situation like no one else can

Edward Bilton, 25

son of a bricklayer turned second officer for luxury cruiseliner

Tess' childhood love who left to find his fortune and never wrote

seen as an unsuitable marriage prospect due to his parentage

determined to be viewed as a serious suitor despite this

SLIDE 5:

the pirates

Dorian Hale, 29

captain of The Allegiant

voted into the captaincy, shares power w Idalah

considerate of Tess' sensibilities

smiles a lot, quick to joke

brilliant swordsman

Petra Spice, 27

third-mate of The Allegiant

also first rigging mate

wants Tess to join the crew bc fancy society is ridiculous

rarely has her feet on the deck, up in the rigging

friendly, agile, sneaky (b+ pickpocket)

other notable crew members

Idalah Cabral - 36, quartermaster

Lionel Simmons - 32, boatswain

Thana Cabral - 34, surgeon

Lucia Valente - 25, navigator

Raleigh Page - 26, pilot

There is an arrow pointing from Idalah Cabrall and Thana Cabral to the words “they’re wives.”

Slide 6:

fun facts!!

The Allegiant is (as of now) a four-masted galleon, is known for being one of the fastest ships on the water

there are mermaids with three rows of incredibly sharp teeth

Tess knows a lot about them and has a habit of singing to them

Tess still sometimes dreams of experiencing the true love shown in stories, despite being set on marrying for the good of her family's business

she has two cousins, Lina (20) and Flora (23), who live with her family during the social season

Lina is flighty, Flora is shy, they're both meant to benefit from Tess' example

Dorian has a bad habit of putting plans into motion when he's only come up with the first half of it

the previous captain of The Allegiant retired to run a bar in a pirate haven

thank you & the end

Mun Intro

A few days overdue, but an introduction nonetheless.

Hello. I’m Ree o/

29 years, any pronouns, though defaulting to they/them is fine

Placement tests put me in Scarabia. My favorite Twisted character is Jade, followed closely by Floyd and Vil

I’ve set up a short rules page, much of which I’m reiterating here. This is a closed blog affiliated with NRU, and will only interact with other NRU blogs

Jade tends to have miscellaneous information on many characters at the school, and has the ability and resources to conduct deep background checks if the need arises. All information used in threads will be run by my partner first though to avoid metagaming or godmodding.

Likewise, any use of Jade’s signature spell - Shock the Heart - will be subject both to partner’s approval and the whims of RNG.

Jade is also a difficult individual to read. In writing, I will prioritize actions, expressions, and tangible behavior for my partner to react to, but thoughts included outside of dialogue may not be feasibly known by the other character. Exceptions being Azul and Floyd, who have known Jade long enough to have a deeper understanding of the way he thinks.

Plotting isn’t necessary for interactions. Being both inherently chaotic and naturally curious about others, Jade doesn’t need much of a reason to hang around someone. My inbox and DMs are both always open to ideas though.

Lastly, I’m not someone who writes replies daily. I try to keep drafts cycling through within two weeks’ time, but feel free to poke me about a missed reply if waiting exceeds two weeks.

Looking forward to writing with you all!

Heart of Silver || WIP intro

A Guide To Liminal Matters And Ghastly Kinds (1)

general facts

title: Heart of Silver

genre: Urban Fantasy

status: finished and readable! (link to masterlist below)

words: roughly 25k

themes: depression & friendship

synopsis

After poking her finger on a dead granny’s fork, young ghost-hunter Evelyn finds herself slowly turning into a silver statue and teams up with the infamous curse-broker Ariel to save herself from her rather untimely, possibly painful, demise. But when breaking the curse turns out harder than they assumed, Evelyn has to learn to truly trust Ariel before the silver takes her life.

characters

Evelyn - Evelyn grew up as a ghost hunter and tried to leave that life behind her. Her good friend/accomplice/nemesis Ariel successfully manages to bring her back to the ghosts and monsters though, so it’s no surprise she finds herself cursed by a ghost’s fork. Asking Ariel for help seems like the only option, but is also a good way to get cursed some more.

Ariel - Ariel is a curse-broker with passion. They hand them* out, break them*, experiment with them* to their heart’s content. Their one goal is to be the best curse-broker there is, so breaking a curse that should not be possible to break is the only logical conclusion here. And if they save Evelyn’s life along the way, that is really the cherry on top!  (*referring to the curses, not Ariel’s clients; please don’t believe all those google reviews, thanks!)
