i wish i didn't get immovably anxious every time i even think about taking a covid test
#low key i have so much trauma from when i had covid this year#and the test was a big part of it#i mean i ALWAYS got anxious when i would test myself before. don't get me wrong#but in march when i had it. i took one test and it took the full fifteen minute for the FAINTEST test line to appear#and i mean SO faint i wasn't sure i was looking at it right or if it was a shadow#i asked kaily what she thought and she reassured me 'i mean. why not just take a second' (which i knew was the right thing anyway)#(but nobody likes taking covid tests especially if youre me)#and then i scrubbed a little extra hard on the second test immediately after and it turned bright red within minutes#and i wasnt that sick yet but the next few days were Terrible for me#and of course realizing i was covid positive made me so unhappy.#just dread. that whole time was dread#and i had that abusive friend making it worse for me the whole time#it was like i was taking care of him while i was so sick i couldnt move#and he knew it. god i hate him so much#he can go to hell. he was also very dismissive of my symptoms and needs#even while i had covid and was recovering from it afterward#despite the fact i was an angel to him while he was going through his own covid experience... which he pretended he was grateful for#and could never reciprocate. wow i hate him so much!#complaining about what an awful guy he was is making me less anxious now. cuz im mad#tales from diana#anyway it came out negative but i still feel uneasy because i have a million tiny reasons why im always sure ill get a false negative#even though all i have right now is. a SLIGHTLY sore throat.#and very very very high anxiety. but that's been about work tomorrow#i dont wanna talk anymore byyyye

Wang Yibo participated in the symposium of the China Canton Federation: “I will know the law and obey the law ; consciously accept the supervision of all sectors of society”
{article source}
Recently, well-known actor Wang Yibo was invited to participate in a symposium on professional ethics for radio and television literary and art workers, and discussed the importance of professional ethics construction with experts and scholars in the industry. Wang Yibo has attracted much attention for his outstanding acting skills and positive social image.
At the symposium, Wang Yibo actively participated in the discussion with his unique perspective and rich experience, and shared with the participants his experience and insights on the road of performing arts. He emphasized the importance of the professional ethics of literary and art workers to the healthy development of the industry, and called on the majority of practitioners to use good professional ethics as a background, shape a good social image, and contribute to the prosperity of the literary and artistic industry.
Everyone knows that Wang Yibo, as a literary and art worker, has participated in a symposium on the construction of radio and television professional ethics. During the filming of "Bright Road" this year, he participated in a video conference wearing a costume. This time it is a collective activity of literary and art workers. From the participants at the scene, it can be seen that Wang Yibo is obviously the youngest one.
We saw Zhang Kaili, Tang Guoqiang, Wang Jinsong and other senior actors at the scene. In the group photo, Wang Yibo looked very cute and he stood very seriously, completely different from himself on the screen and in the camera. This is the first time we have seen Wang Yibo like this.
Being able to represent young actors to participate in the symposium, Wang Yibo not only has both popularity and professional ability, but also has professional ethics, serious dedication, self-discipline and humility, and his words and deeds are highly recognized.
Participating in the symposium requires sharing experience. Wang Yibo not only shared his experience with people in the same industry, but also poured out some difficulties encountered in his work. His speech was not only full of ideas, but also sincere, which made people feel his deep attention and serious attitude to the construction of professional ethics.
#i wanna hear his whole speech please thank you#well i have to say that he is one person who actually walks the talk when it comes to professional ethics in movies#the amount of integrity he implements i just—— your faves could never 😌😌😌#take a look at how his 3 movies were rolled out …. no controversy and followed the rules.#wang yibo#let’s go wang yibo 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

unavernales:
the dhampir flips some blonde hair over her shoulder, hesitation clear on her face at the mention of food. “if it’s not starbucks, i, like, don’t want it,” farrah settles on with a smacking of her gum and clicking of miu miu heels as she makes her way on the ship. as always, farrah gives haru a kiss in greeting and immediately looks at their nails.
“ugh. it’s worse than i thought.” she declares dramatically. it really wasn’t that bad, but farrah firmly believes that pretty bottoms should have claws. “that kaili guy’s kinda hot, don’t ya think? especially with that peircing~” she makes a v with two fingers and flicks her tongue between it before bursting into giggles. “have you two ever fucked?”
Haru giggled at the kisses and wrapped her arms around the other’s waist, hugging her in close for a moment with a bright expression. “Okay, fine! No food for Farrah.”
The vampire pouted. “Haru works on a ship all day... their hands get wet and dirty...” and so of course nails would get chipped! It’s criminal, but it’s how things are. Depressing. No time to dwell on that! “KAILI?!” Oops - way too loud. Haru looked around quickly, worried the mutant had heard him before leaning in to whisper, “No! Farrah should stay away from Kaili! They’re... super weird. They never talk and when they do weird stuff happens! Even Captain Nachim would be a better option... he said... he said it’s... vocif-vocaly... uhh... some weird scary thing!” Farrah’s hand was taken. “Let’s go. Haru feels like he’s listening.” SHUDDER!! Farrah was dragged along to Haru’s bedroom.
unavernales:
“well some fights need to be started, okay?” she snips in her own defense. also untrue… “what? it’s not my fault your ship daddy is, like, super hot.” oh farrah would climb him like a tree if given the chance! and that accent… yum! the dhampir hums as she parks near the pier, reaching in the backseat for her nail kit and purse. haru was in dire need of a manicure! she blows a gum bubble and lets it pop before she answers. “you. duh.” her best friend was a certified hottie. though that kaili guy came in a close second. “are you gonna meet me outside? i���m here~”
There was no point arguing. Even Haru knew that. She just huffed and shook her head. Haru was sure Farrah would be able to tell what their expression was like just from the small sound. Seriously!! Farrah drove her crazy sometimes. Hmph, hmph.
What?! “Apart from Haru!!” He wanted real gossip here, thanks. “Oh-” The vampire stood and moved to the edge of the boat, leaning over the edge of the ship to peer down at the other. With a bright smile a hand waved. “Come, come! Is Farrah hungry? Haru can get something for her. It will taste better than last time, promise!” Since Haru themselves won’t make it this time...

32: What is your favourite color? / 37: Is it easier to forgive or forget? / 53: What is the last thing you did before you went to bed last night? / 69: Do you believe in soulmates? / 16: Talk about the best party you've ever been to. // raye costance
32: What is your favourite color?
its baby pink ! i don’t fucking care if theres people who were like: ‘i used to hate pink cause it was so girly and blahblah talking about gender’, dude just stop the unnecessary comments cause pink its the best color especially baby pink cause they are not strong that makes your head hurts, it just bring calm vibes like everything is gonna be alright. its just the perfect color.
37: Is it easier to forgive or forget?
it depends by your own morals, honestly. there’s some things you can not forget but if you decided forgive anyways that means you really trying to see the bright on the situation and just moving on for not having any crutches and thats show you have a good heart. but if you don’t fogive thats okay too cause there’s something in people who cannot break it trough. i never went to a situation like that but, at least for me, respect anyhow its the best option for both anyways.
53: What is the last thing you did before you went to bed last night?
i had decided to eat and then sleep cause i was feeling very hungry. but korean food have a lot of spice flavors which made me being more awake so i think i sleep at four am or something close to five, just playing with instagram filters, and posting stories. i felt like texting my boyfriend too.
69: Do you believe in soulmates?
i believe when you met a person and gets really close to them you gonna have the feeling of sadness if you tough about if you one day you guys get really distant, that means that the connection you had with this person was so markable that maybe it might just being god works for them to being in your life for i don’t know the reason but you not gonna needed because they just make you happy. and thats not just one person, i believe all my bandmates are my soulmate. that went sappy but fuck it.
16: Talk about the best party you’ve ever been to.
this is not fair with me, dude. i went and actually go still, to a lot of parties! c’mon. like, there’s the first party i went when i moved to seoul, that ruy took me and i was just such a little chicken back then who never had more than one beer and then suddenly he had offered me marijuana and i literally had to ask him how to inhale the weed, i also proved some other drugs that i’m not gonna say cause i don’t remember what it was or what happened with me that night, i just remember that i made out with a guy and in the end i vomited at every place in the uber car that made pay more. also, there’s the party in kayn place where i actually spoke to my boyfriend for the first time, it was crazy cause actually that just happened, not saying their names, i was like playing beer pong that had challenges with one my friends, we were losing so bad but at least we were having fun and there’s one challenge that she needed to had to drink one shot from my boobs but at the same moment another friend who was friends with my friend who was my partner at the game appeared saying she needed to leave cause she didn’t feel like hooking up with daehyun or something like that, so my friend went with her but i was like ‘ wHO IS GONNA DRINK FROM MY BOOBS THen’ and then she pulled kaili out of a corner and said: ‘there.’, and then he took a shot from my titties. oH, AND MY BIRTHDAY PARTY WAS ALSO SO FUN ! i was barefoot and i cried a little out of happiness and people laughed at me. i just regret that i did not put my face on the cake but it was fun it was just like new years eve. and i just love new years eve parties, in one i ended up meeting my friend eleanor and i don’t know how actually it happened but i was in the street with her singing barbie songs and i slept in her place and thats how my friendship with her started. what else to say… i really just can think now of how i love my boys but my favorite parties has to be the one that i spend with my girls friends. if you asked me who is my favorite to drink with i would say julie for sure.

@extremely-pearlmethirsty and @purple-moonfang here are some cute ship canons for Emma and Rebecca because they’re cuties and deserve this: (mostly quotes I found on the interwebs/online) (for those who don’t understand, Rebecca is 15 in the fic right now while Emma is 13)
- One time, the two girls feel asleep inside Rebecca’s bed at the Le Grand Paris, all snuggled up to one another with their heads buried in the crooks of each other’s neck, nuzzling against there and (sometimes) pecking little kisses there while they’re sleeping. Chloe fangirled and took pictures, sending them to both Adrien and Marinette. (14 and 16.)
- Despite their height difference, Emma knows how to throw Rebecca over her shoulders and carry her around places. She’s a strong little lady. (all ages.)
- One time, when they both had bite marks on their necks, they begged for Maddie and Vivienne not to tell their parents. They threatened to do so, but Maddie said she wouldn’t tattle if they gave her $100 in Monopoly money. Rose ended up concealing their bites, and Chloe, Kim, Adrien and Mari never found out. Well, until they were 21 and 23, that is. (ages 16 and 18.)
- When they reveal their relationship to the other girls, no one is surprised. They knew Rebecca was bi and that Emma was lesbian. Well, all of them except for Maddie. She was oblivious AF the entire time and shocked. She was horribly ashamed and had a stupid breakdown to Tikki. (13 and 15)
- When it’s incredibly early in the morning and Emma gets up, Rebecca protests by wrapping her arms around her and turning her over to kiss her. Emma tries to fight it, but gives in because she loves her (and kisses). (19 and 21)
- Maddie was the clingiest sister/in-law/best friend ever when they got married. Taking a million selfies/pictures with them and ranting about how their kids would be cousins (she was like, seven months pregnant at the time with her own baby), along with how Rebecca was never ever going to escape her now that they’re sisters-in-law. She sings ‘Never Ever Getting Rid Of Me’ from Waitress on Stage to prove her point to Becky (better enough, name of a character from the musical lol, I am SCREAMING), with the help of Luka, Nino, and Ivan to do instruments and a track. Everyone else is cracking up from laughter, including her best friends, sister and sister-in-law, along with her parents and husband. (22 and 24)
- Kara’s dirty mind/jokes don’t harm/bother them. They’re both females, so both of them are immune to her humor. (all ages)
- Emma burns their marriage certificate, and when Rebecca asks her why, she says ‘Now, you can’t return me without a receipt!’. Rebecca sobs in panic and calls Maddie wailing, resulting in her cursing out Emma for twenty minutes straight. (21 and 23)
- Rebecca calls Emma an idiot, but she points to her wedding ring and says ‘Yeah, I’m your idiot - forever!’ and they both lose it laughing. (23 and 25)
- Rebecca protests that when she goes away for the week to do soccer camp, Emma will be alright - cue her sneezing from seventy miles away. Rebecca freaks out and says she’ll be there in an hour. Vivienne says ‘I think I’m dying inside’, and Rebecca responds with ‘then suffer in silence’. (15 and 17)
- Rebecca’s nickname for Emma is Emmiekins or Kitty Kat, and Emma calls her Honeybee. Chloe and Marinette melt from the cuteness like the proud mothers they are. (all ages)
- When they go to Sweet Scoops with the other girls, Emma asks for a milkshake with two straws. Rebecca blushes profusely and asks her why she’d do such a thing, amazed by her sweetness - until Emma slurps down the shake with two straws by herself and Rebecca is slightly disappointed, but also amused by her fiancee’s silliness. (20 and 22)
- When they’re out on missions at ages sixteen and fourteen, Maddie asks them ‘are you fighting or flirting?’. They respond with ‘Yes’. (all the time.)
- Emma complains at school in the morning (thirteen at the time) about how she didn’t sleep. Maddie tells her, ‘you know that means someone is thinking about you, right?’. Emma doesn’t believe her, and says, ‘Who would think about me in the middle of the night?’. Rebecca panics on the floor while Victoria and Vivienne try to soothe her from her very bi panic attack. (13 and 16)
- On their one year wedding anniversary, they have a party to celebrate and Emma says ‘One year later and we’re still in love’. Rebecca says ‘Yeah! In your face, those who said we wouldn’t last a year!’. Jade’s only protest is ‘I stand by my wedding toast I spoke without being drunk’ while eyeing Kara, who was hilariously drunk at the reception, who is now embarrassed. (23 and 25)
- Kara dedicates a whole new set of jokes to them, and they’re not sure whether to feel flattered or embarrassed. But when Kara brings up how Emma gets turned on when Rebecca curses, they both blush bright red and run the hell away. (14-almost-15 and 17)
- They dress up as Haruka and Michiru from Sailor Moon for their first Halloween as wives. Jade screams and cries because she’s so proud of them. (22 and 24)
- Rebecca and Emma say they both appreciate the little things in life. They then hug Jade, who screams ‘F**k you both, I’m not that short!’. Kailie and Kara burst out in laughter and roll over, Vivienne snickers but tries to hide it, and Maddie applauds them. (14 and 16)
- Emma calls Rebecca dramatic. She says she isn’t, while wearing a handcrafted/made dress with the Kitty Noire and Queen Bee colors with a red rose in between her teeth, down on the floor with a bouquet of 300 roses in all of the different colors clutched in her hands. Emma is blushing like mad while Maddie swoon-melts, Kayla laughs, and Vivienne smiles. (19 and 21)
- Rebecca says to Vivienne that Emma is incredibly cool, and not because of her status. Being the naive innocent bean she is, Vivienne tells her bestie that she doesn’t have to think lowly of herself and that she’s an awesome person too. Rebecca’s response is ‘I’m not ragging on myself, I’m channeling the side of me that’s extremely gay’ and Vivienne shuts the f up. (13 and 15)
- Rebecca says to Emma ‘would you date someone that looks and acts like me?’, and she responds ‘why do you ask, know anybody?’. Rebecca gets really pissed and screeches at the top of her lungs ‘Because I love you, you dumbass cat’. Emma says ‘oh’ three times and is shocked, then she tackles Rebecca onto the floor and hugs her, and they forget everything else, say ‘f**k it’ and start making out. Jade, Vivienne and Maddie remind them where they are (the hotel), but they couldn’t care less. (13 and 15.)
- When their first child (girl) is born, Rebecca suggests they name her Hannah. Emma, being the stupid, pun-making kitty chat she is, plays the Hannah Montana theme and dances around, while her wife and sister shake their heads and laugh at her. (ages 24 and 26.)
- Chloe and Vivienne see Rebecca with a car-sized photo frame that has a picture of Emma in it. They ask her what she has, and holding a cake box in her other hands, she answers ‘a cake’. Sabrina and Kim are crying from laughter in the background while Victoria says ‘subtle, Kim’. (I’m an iCarly fan, lol.) (Emma’s sixteenth birthday, she’s 18.)
- When Tom and Sabine sit down with their granddaughter and her GF for the first time, they call her their other grandchild and she cries of happiness. Emma consoles her and gives her a kiss, while Tom and Sabine are convinced they hurt Rebecca’s feelings. (16 and 13-almost-14.)
- Considering how many stupid things Emma says, Rebecca states that she’s morosexual, meaning she’s attracted to idiots. Emma then asks ‘why is the Pink Panther pink?’, and Rebecca pushes her into her bedroom, taking her clothes off and calling Em a f**king idiot. (ages 17 and 19.)
- Just having seen Emma’s swimsuit photoshoots, Rebecca requests for Vivienne and Nathaniel to draw works of art for her. When they ask what, she responds ‘Emma in a bikini’ and they die of embarrassment. (17 and 19)
- When they got caught inside a closet by their friends, Jade had a nosebleed, Maddie screamed ‘ships are happening’ and Vivienne came in, crashing down the door and screaming ‘where are the ships’ at the top of her lungs. (ages 20 and 22.)
- When she wasn’t sure whether her feelings were true or not, Emma goes to Juleka and Rose to ask them about her love for Rebecca. They ship it so hard and give her happy, kind and supporting advice and she is so very flattered.
- And finally, when Rebecca graduates from high school, Tom and Sabine are there, standing up and screaming ‘THAT’S OUR GRANDDAUGHTER!!! SHE’S GRADUATING!!!!’ and them along with Adrien and Marinette are so proud of her. Chloe, Kim, their other three children and Chloe’s parents are cheering for her too, watching the Dupain-Chengs and Agrestes with smiles. Rebecca tears up and hugs Maddie and Emma, then she hugs Tom and Sabine. Tom almost comes close to suffocating her by mistake, but stops when realizing. (16 and 18)
@extremely-pearlmethirsty you better respond to this post and tell me what you think, because I need feedback on these sweet little headcanons and the ability to make people melt XD. Do it.
(for newbies to my blog, go to the search by on my blog page and type in ‘miraculous ladybug next-gen’ to see more about it. The reference for each child is coming up later tonight for you all to see.)
@purple-moonfang this is adorable, isn’t it?

Oh, I watched The Witcher...
...and to start off, I am glad that I walked into this show torn between being ready for a disaster and feeling cautiously optimistic.
Because thanks to that, I managed to actually enjoy watching it.
But let me first say that, in my opinion, the hype lumping The Witcher universe into the same boat as GoT did the show no favours, especially amongst those fans, who were walking into this series expecting more of the same.
To some others, it burst their expectations way out of proportion. Netflix is not HBO (do I regret that it wasn’t them making the show? Considering season 8 - not so much) and out of Netflix I expected less than I actually got.
Not to mention that many people seem to forget how GoT started out.
To put it simply these are two very different boats.
I am a long time fan of The Witcher Universe and the short stories are the part of it that is dearest to my heart. And while I understand that things had to be shifted and changed to adapt the loose adventures of Geralt into the more or less linear plot - it hurts to know that we had been bereft of stories like “A Grain of Truth” or “Eternal Flame” - or any other really.
Similarly, I feel that the cutting and simplifying things for the sake of the plot was a mistake either. I know that film is a different medium, but sometimes those simpler plots, though working, brought me sadness instead of joy - for example I think that the scene between Renfri and Geralt should have happened as it happened in the books - in the inn with roof hopping and all the other stuff.
On the other hand, I feel that putting “more” into the script, might have made it even more difficult for the regular watcher to get invested into the story. I know the inns and outs of these stories, I know they played over the years. But even that didn’t stop me from feeling confused at times and needing a moment to actually catch up mentally.
I know this show focuses on the stories of Geralt, Yennefer and Ciri, but because of that I feel like we are not given enough of background stuff, that would allow the viewer to understand what the stakes are really about. I think that we could have traded the Yennfer escorting queen Kailis for Yennefer in court, meddling, shifting and generally making history from above the shoulder of the king - it would also be more in character for her.
Speaking about our main trio, I think they did well. I also think that I will make more posts about them in the nearest future. I also really liked, acting wise, Jaskier, Tissaia and (surprise, surprise) Fringilla. Cahir didn’t take, maybe because I think that they made him a psycho for the sake of being a psycho. And Triss is for me the biggest let down - not only they threw her look out of the window (which I would be ready to forgive given the previous sentence), but they also murdered her character. I didn’t see Triss in Anna, and I really dislike that they sort of merged her with mother Nenneke - whom I dearly love.
To sum it up - The Witcher has landed and the reactions seem to be mainly positive. I enjoyed watching the first eight episodes and this new adaptation has some certain bright spots that made me smile. I’m looking forward to see how they will handle the story in season two.
But I also fear that season two might be the last if they don’t make some changes. Which is sad, because the universe that Andrzej Sapkowski brought to live really has substance and bearings of the great TV show.
It just don’t seem to have luck.

Mal En Point (Teaser)
KOH!Harrison x Angel!Reader
A/N: wow look at that amazing moodboard made by @wazzupmrstark thank you so much Kaili!! Hi so this is my next series :) hopefully, it goes well and you like it. I don't know when the first full part will come out (its written already but still). PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IF ME TALKING BAD ABOUT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH MAKES YOU UNCOMFORTABLE! I will always tag these as mepseries so please block it if you don’t want to see it
Word count: 326 (its a teaser for a reason)
Warnings: shit talking the catholic church, poor word choice
Summary: Heaven fucking sucks
How could anyone stand it in heaven? Everything is so white and bright, it’s blinding. Though maybe there was a reason for that. Nonetheless, it was exhausting. You were tired of faking smiles every morning, pretending like you weren’t drowning in the overbearing politeness from everyone. It didn’t seem real. None of it did.
It made you sick.
Heaven was definitely not where you should be. It all felt like a fever dream. You were sent to the wrong place. Must have been. Well. You weren’t. You were a good person. You don’t like lying, didn’t enjoy seeing people overly upset, they were ideas that over time you had learned to love.
You couldn’t help but think that everyone in heaven was just weak. They trip and burst into tears as if it’s the end of the world and they’ll die any second from hardly a scratch on their elbow. It takes less than an hour for any injury fully heal and you wouldn’t even have a scar. But Hell?
Hell seemed wonderful.
Demons who were cold blooded despite the blazing heat that surrounded them. Where people wouldn’t cry about everything. Even just the fact that everything wasn’t fucking white. You’d only seen it in renaissance paintings from Earth while you went through school. Even still.
The idea was enticing.
You’d heard the stories. Everyone had. Stories of the king of hell, who was so powerful that if he decided to destroy heaven one day, he could do so before breakfast. You heard the clergy talk about it. Fearful that he may decide to do so one day. The thought excited you. A change in environment, change in people. Suddenly, what everyone else feared, became your daydream. Merely the thought of the dark colours, black and reds, made your heart jump and your lips curve into a smile.
It was then that you promised that one day, someday, it would happen.

you know i don't bring this up as a light anecdote because it involves me being talked about in really perverted ways behind my back. but when i was like 20 i was part of this large group of friends that was mostly a bunch of guys, and a couple of girlfriends. and the energy if you were a girl starting to hang around them was like. "ok, so who are you gonna hook up with/date?" and it didn't last long bc of course when the answer ended up being "well none of you," the patience they had for me evaporated. lol. so i was being talked about among literally every single one of them behind my back in a gigantic group chat, of like literally everyone in the original group chat (including the ppl who never fucking used it, and it was over twelve people) minus a few other ppl they didn't like, decidedly. and eventually one of my GOOD friends (that i am still friends w to this day) told me about it and then there was the whole drama of people not being able to accept consequences for their actions, not owning up to being cowardly bullies, etc... yawn yawn yawn. truly that was some stupid middle school shit from a bunch of immature ppl that i didn't really take to heart. not the guys, anyway. i was honestly very hurt by a couple of girls who partook in it though, that i thought genuinely liked me and who i genuinely liked in return, so that was shocking to me.
but anyway. after this all happened my sister went OFF on this one guy in particular. bc he had been a nuisance before. he was a slimy creep honestly. i used to feel a lot of pity for him bc i thought he was just sad and wanted attention but that was just my 20-year-old nonsense brain way of interpreting it. he was incredibly annoying and would wear girls down, would hop from one girl to another week after week, each one not reciprocating his constant desperate flirting and lovebombing. and there was a joke he participated in about me and my (also queer, female) friend that was particularly crossing a line. so kaily just ripped this guy a new one when he went to try and offer an explanation. like imagine trying to even talk to someone after you just humiliated and bullied their sister... couldn't be me. like i was literally the one being bullied in this instant but i can't imagine the kind of white hot rage i'd be in if someone did that to my sister. you know? so yeah.
at the end of this rant kaily told him "go to hell." you know. like fuck off. go fuck yourself. go to hell. good old indecent words to throw out at someone you loathe, right? i'm literally ONLY bringing this up because i cannot stop thinking, all these years later, about how one of the girls who participated in it, and was the least apologetic about it (in fact weirdly a year later she came back just to taunt me again and tell me how much better her life is without me and how stupid i was for breaking up a 'wonderful' friend group?? yeah that sounds like the behavior of someone who is over it)... i don't remember where but someone told me she talked particularly about that message to that guy and said "kaily told (name) to burn in hell" like. like that whole time she interpreted my sister as like a conservative christian who was calling him a dirty sinner. bc presumably she had never heard the phrase "go to hell" in a non-literal context before, or just never understood it?? like that girl didn't necessarily strike me as incredibly bright or something, in the short time i knew her, but i never would've guessed she could be so dumb...
but for the record that pervert guy yeah he is gonna burn in hell.
#tales from diana#im sorry how much dramatic backstory that anecdote required#that one girl and her friend are still some of the most baffling pieces of that story to me#like i hate to say it but i was not shocked that all but like two of those guys really liked or respected me at all#none of them seemed to like any of the other girls in the friend group#they just barely seemed to tolerate their friends' girlfriends. bc they had to#and some of those guys didn't even seem to like or respect their girlfriends#both of those girls who bullied me were some of 'the girlfriends' and i have to be honest. i wouldnt wanna be 'the girlfriend' there#neither of them are still w their then-boyfriends and im pretty sure for both of them it ended awfully#idk what happened to the really particularly aggressive one who thought kaily said 'burn in hell'#but for some reason like 6 months later when she and her bf broke up she unfriended me on fb#i had never unfriended her in case she wanted to apologize at any point (i had hope... 20 year old nonsense again i was really naive)#but then yeah another 6 months later she and the other girlfriend (still in a relationship at that time) just blew up at me and some others#for like no reason. just bc we all stayed friends... w each other#like i promise u i never went out of my way to bother these girls in any way. directly or indirectly. they just had to say#'its been a year and i still hate you guys' like why. we were literally all adults. we didnt go to school together we never saw each other#we were all just frankly moving on but i guess they were not over it#the other girl whose relationship lasted longer had maybe the worse boyfriend? definitely the worse breakup#he abandoned her for another woman and kicked her out of their living space#she was literally begging on social media for help#and again that guy was a monster who did not seem to really love her. he's married to the other woman now#they have a kid together#idk where either of those girls are now bc basically all their friends abandoned them#feels like if they had chosen their allies better way back when we were 20-21 itd have been different#which is not to blame them. but like. i would not have let that happen to my friends#but the fact that anyone stood up for me when i was being bullied was 'starting drama'#and the fact that they all let their problems pile up until their lives are destroyed? well i guess thats just being civilized and mature#sorry if this is just sounding incredibly judgmental bc i dont think they deserve their situations at all#but i dont think their choices didnt play some role in their being eventually discarded by rotten fuckin men#they were pretty rotten to me too. poor things...

Design & Explore
For our design & explore trip Blair, Kaili, and I traveled to Fishtown via subway! We were all hungry so, we decided to head straight to a small diner for breakfast. The diner, Sulimay’s, was a couple blocks away from the septa station, making for a nice walk of searching for design. As we walked down the Main Street of Fishtown we noticed the vast amount of art that covered the sides of buildings and outsides of storefronts. I was most intrigued by the outside designs of the Sketch burger restaurant and the Milkcrate cafe; both stores were completely covered in bright hand painted murals that immediately caught my eye. Sulimay’s ended up being a very homey, sit-down diner that served all of the breakfast classics and reminded me of the diner I would frequent with my best friends in high school. I ordered eggs with a side of potatoes and, despite the cold temperatures outside, a Vietnamese iced coffee. Both items were “egg-cellent”. We did run into some trouble when we realized the restaurant was cash only, as I had only brought my card. However, Blair saved the day by covering all of us and letting us pay her back when we arrived home. This was a good lesson in the importance of knowing a restaurant’s payment options prior to going. Overall, we had a great time on our trip to Fishtown and I look forward to going back to explore even more of the fun shops and restaurants that the neighborhood offers.

Mel laughed at the chosen song. She could see him singing that.
“Brave. Idiotic. Crazy. Sometimes these are basically synonymous.” The giant laughed. Did he think he could take the Naga in a fight? Not really. The guy had to be much stronger. But he might get in a few lucky hits. “Wait what?” His gaze turned to the redhead. “Ruby what the fuck? How’d your ass get captured?”
“Probably because of something your dumbass did!” She called retorted.
“….Fair enough. Ok so you got my sister prisoner and we’re in a damn cave. Let’s get this shit started.” A bright grin flashing on his lips. Even if he were completely obliterated, this would be fun. (Mel and saint to nachim and rak. With ruby randomly thrown in)
Rak pointed at Saint, "You stole my fish! I want your sister in exchange!" he lurched forward, going to try to tackle Saint to the ground. He wasn't quite as strong in this human form, but he hoped his human body at least could hold itself up against a wolf.
"How is that equal?" Nachim laughed, shaking his head at them.
"Rak's ticklish!" Haru was nudged by laughing Kaili for yelling out that unfair advantage Saint was just given.

Dancing
I stole @hoehoehoelt‘s Nico once more for a further take on our Dales Royalty Au. Set shortly after Kaili’s engagement to Nelaros. With Nelaros as a Marquis, Kaili as a Duchess, and Nico as Prince of the Dales.
The ring fit her finger perfectly.
Kaili didn't know if she should be happy or terrified. How long had her father planned this? When had he even had time considering all the troubles they had recently had in their estates. Kaili knew she wasn't supposed to know as much as she did regarding the troubles, but now, it all made sense.
She was their solution.
Engaged. It felt like a collar being snapped around her neck. A leash that could lead her away from the duties she had here at court.
That would force her from her Prince's side.
The gentleman who now wore a matching ring, crafted at her father's behest, was one she had danced with on several occasions. Nelaros was sweet, deserving of so much more than Kaili could be. He was a good man, honest, hardworking. He had earned his title due to service to the king, rather than having it been handed down by an ancestral line. She knew how unusual such nobility had become.
It was also the reason why his family was willing to overlook her reputation. Why her father was willing to make a match with a lesser family.
The 'Duchess of Darkness', that is what the common folk called her, and many nobles as well. Whispers of her being a ruthless killer, or possible a vampire, a witch, a whore. So many different rumors made it nigh impossible for her father to make a proper match.
Nelaros had dismissed all of that. Said that it didn't matter. That it was Kaili that he was drawn to, that he had fallen for.
How rare that she would be placed in a match born of love.
It was something to be celebrated.
Which was exactly why she was currently being laced into her best gown. Deep blue silks, to match her eyes, with silver lace overlays. The colors of her house. Her dark curls piled artfully atop her head, with braids places just so to keep it all in place. Zephyr always knew just how to make Kaili appear more than she was.
Tonight she would show the entire court how proud her family was, how happy the match made her.
Even as she wore black lace at her throat, with a stone set in the center. A stone that matched another man's eyes.
Eyes that now peaked at her from the vantage of her mirror.
"Your father requested that I come check on you, apparently Aya has already begun to mingle with the guests. Cyrion is worried that your delay might reflect badly on the evening." Nico almost mumbled the words, his face as stoic as ever. Kaili could only tell by the soft wilt of his ears that the evening had any effect on him at all.
"Of course, Zeph was just helping me finish touch up my hair." She forced the smile in her tone. Kaili knew that tonight was a happy event, she was happy, she had to be.
"Then we should hurry on our way. Your fiancé is eager to make announcements."
Her heart dropped. Of course Nico knew, he was hosting the event in his court. Why wouldn't he have known.
"And I am eager for them to be made, my prince," standing, she pressed a quick hug to Zephyr. Pressing a gently kiss to her handmaid's cheek. Knowing that this hurt Zephyr as much as Kaili.
How easily were hearts given and then ripped away when one was a woman still under her father's rule.
At least Zeph would be offered a place in her new home. Where ever that might be. At least she wasn't losing everyone with this change.
Kaili took up Nico's offered hand.
"My Prince," she dipped into a short curtsey.
"Kaili, you know I hate when you use my title. How many more times must I argue that we have been friends since you were still attached to your wet nurse? We don't need to stand on decorum."
"At least once more, my prince." She smirked. It amused her to no end to tease Nico with formality.
Huffing, Nico rolled his eyes.
It was a long walk to the ballroom from Kaili's chambers. She could hear her heart pounding in her chest, the warmth of Nico's hand against her own. The way that he held it as he escorted her was more than formal, nothing less than one would expect of a prince; but she felt the occasional press of his thumb against the skin of her wrist, making her breath catch in her throat every time. She refused to look at him, keeping her chin high. Acknowledging each noble as she passed them, seeing the rumors already formulating as others caught sight of Kaili's hand in Nico's.
She could almost hear the whispers that this would cause. The Duchess of Darkness being escorted to her own engagement ball by the Prince, a man who was most definitely not her intended.
She refused to let them under her skin. As she has refused to acknowledge the rumors that had circulated just months prior, regarding her relationship with the man rumored to be her brother's lover.
Kaili never managed to brush off such rumors the way that Nico did. She could never tell if he was willfully oblivious, or just staunch in his belief that she could never be anything more than his childhood friend. An innocent.
Kaili allowed herself once glance, just one, as they stepped up to be announced to the room. Letting her eyes drag over the man who had quite become the center of her world. He stood just a few inches shorter than her, but held himself in a way that no one would notice it. He stood tall, proud. His long hair tumbling over his back, the braids done into it just barely holding back untamed tresses. His face stoic as ever. It had taken her so long to learn how to read it for his moods. To catch the slightest of smiles, the glint in his eye when he was frustrated.
Her moment was over, the page's voice booming their names for all the court to hear.
She met every gaze with pride, daring them to speak a word. None did.
Then she caught one specific set of eyes. Bright and young, the smile on his face so bright she was surprised no one else seemed to see it.
Nelaros, her betrothed.
He came rushing forth, eagerly dropping into a deep bow before his prince. Then gently taking her hand from Nico's hold.
Kaili didn't think she imagined the taunt hesitancy in Nico. But she forced herself to focus on Nelaros. Smiling softly as he pressed a kiss to her wrist. A bold statement of adoration, considering where they stood. Stepping forward, she allowed Nelaros to lead her towards the center of the ballroom. Listened quietly as he announced how proud he was to announce their engagement.
Smiling the way she was expected to.
This man honestly loved her, Kaili knew that he would do anything to make her happy. He deserved nothing less in exchange.
She did her best, for the rest of the evening. Showing him small signs of affection. Allowing herself to open her heart once more. She listened to his eager plans to try and help the people of his small holdings. About all the ways he wanted to improve the lives of everyone around him. He listened as she spoke of her childhood adventures, the way she was always caught up in some new scheme that ended with her brother scolding her and her cousin eagerly begging for a chance to come along.
Maybe life with Nelaros wouldn't be so bad. Maybe she could love him, the way he seemed to love her.
He wasn't the best dancer, too eager, all feet. But he tried to keep pace with Kaili. And Kaili felt herself laugh with no hesitation for the first time since her father had declared what was expected. She felt the dread begin to lift.
And then came a voice.
"May I have this dance?" Nico's eyes first flicked over to Nelaros, who smiled easily and waved his betrothed forth. Happily allowing the Prince time with Kaili, knowing well that their friendship extended into their earliest years.
Kaili couldn't refuse, not without making a scene. And so she accepted, taking up Nico's hand once more.
Cursing that the man had chosen a waltz. Because of course he did.
Cursing that she couldn't stop her pulse from jumping at the way he pulled her close.
The moved with an ease that could only come from years of practice. Born of the hundreds of times Kaili had forced her friend to practice with her, and the thousands more that she had claimed him as a dancing partner in the balls held at estates through the years. Ever since she had been old enough to attend.
Nico knew how to reign in Kaili during a dance, pressing her with palm and hip to have her follow his steps. She could read when he meant to lead her in a turn, or to release her, only for them to be joined once more as they stepped back into place.
It all felt wrong. Nico was too stiff, Kaili seemed too slow. This wasn't their dance. This was a dance that the court would approve of. Kaili knew that they could both feel it.
As it had happened so often, the world seemed to fade away when they danced. Focused only on each other, reading movements and faces.
There was no need for words.
When the song ended, they paused for only a moment, eyes searching. Then Kaili dropped into a low curtsey, allowing herself to be the first to break. Nico bowed his head. Tension flowing between the two like a live current, even as Nico escorted Kaili back to her betrothed.
Kaili accepted the flute of champagne handed to her without pause. After a second, she felt herself ease back into something akin to comfort, and let Nelaros take the lead. Ignoring the fact that Nico had excused himself for the evening.
Ignoring the way she wished she could run after him.
The rest of the evening went as well as expected. Well wishes showered upon the two. Nelaros took the attention in stride, but then turned to whisper to Kaili that he would be just as happy when they could finally escape the gilded cage of court life. Talking about how much more comfortable it was at his estate by the sea.
Kaili couldn't recall her exact response, only that her head began to swim, and then she was suddenly in her chamber, short of breath. Refusing to allow Zephyr entry as she clawed at the clasps on her gown. She felt the scream rising in her throat. Forcing herself to choke it down, less she call more attention to her panic.
And then there was nothing. Her knuckles white as she gripped the necklace that had been choking her. Ripping it off, breaking the short chain. She trembled as she stared down at the purple amethyst.
Pressing her lips to the stone, she tossed it to her bed. Moving with a sudden purpose as she pressed open the handle of her wardrobe. She made her way quickly through the gowns, looking for the secret lock near the back. Taking out a small silver key, she opened the hidden door, which had been lined up to meet with a secret entrance to the escape tunnels that lined the castle interior. She knew these tunnels, had played within them since she had been old enough to walk.
The path led her to the one place she knew she should not be.
Rapping one sharp knock.
Kaili didn't wait for a response before pushing aside the banner that hid the entrance.
Nico sat on the edge of his bed, palms pressed to his head, fingers curling into his hair.
"Why did you come?"
"I don't know," was the only response Kaili could think of. Eyes already beginning to mist.
"Kaili you shouldn't be here."
"I know."
"Then why?"
"I had to see you."
Kaili moved closer to her prince. Slowly kneeling before him, gazing up until she could catch sight of a purple gaze.
Nico reached out with a speed that Kaili didn't know he had. Arms wrapping tightly about her shoulders, pressing her forehead to his chest. His face buried into her hair. Kaili let her fingers bury into the material of his vest.
"Kaili... Dance with me?" The words were whispered and rushed. As though Nico had forced himself to say it before he had the chance to rethink.
"Nico?"
"Please. Not the way we did earlier, but the way we meant to."
"We shouldn't... we can't." Kaili began to pull away.
"There is not court here. It's just you and me, who says we can't." Nico let his fingers bury into Kaili's hair. Pressing back until her face was tilted far enough back that she couldn't escape looking at him. To see the way his eyes begged her to accept.
"Just you and me. Then can it be? No Prince, no Duchess. Just Kaili, and just Nico?"
"Yes, of course."
Kaili nodded, and let Nico pull her up to stand. His fingers slowly untangling themselves from her curls. Hers releasing their grip.
She stopped. Stepping away from Nico, ignoring the confusion written on his face. Shushing his protests. She held up her hand, staring into Nico's eyes. "Just us."
Slowly, purposefully, she let him watch as she slid the ring from her finger. She gently placed it on the mantle of his fireplace, then turned to face him once more.
Letting Nico slide his arm around her waist, the other held up at shoulder height. Her own hand rising up to meet his, with the left one gently gripping his shoulder. He began to sway. Murmuring a song under his breath.
Kaili couldn't catch the words, but lost herself in their meaning.
They began to spin, slow steps moving them through the waltz than should have been. Their hearts keeping time.
Kaili felt everything begin to slip away around them. Lifting her gaze until she could catch Nico staring at her. Nico didn't stop his singing. Their bodies didn't stop moving.
But for that one moment, Kaili felt like she had been lost to eternity.
And then she felt his lips on hers.
Warm. Soft. The way he caught her surprised gasp, and used the moment to deepen the kiss. Kaili felt her eyes slip shut.
And still they didn't stop dancing.
She felt the edge of the bed against her knees.
Wrapping her arms around his neck, she let Nico lead her. Laying down amongst the silks and down. Tangled within each other.
Hurried hands pressing silks and velvets aside.
Gasps as they joined. Swallowed within more kisses. Every moment sharp and clear in her mind. Memorizing each second of stolen happiness.
Suddenly it was his skin burning into hers. All traps of cloth finally lost. Hands tracing long lines of tattoos and scars, earned side by side. His mouth trying to capture her every taste.
Chasing ecstasy.
Followed by soft sighs, words still left unspoken. Arms wrapping her even closer to him. Kaili allowed him this small thing. These few more stolen moments.
She was gone before the dawn.
Having been woken by the startled scream of a servant she didn't recognize. Doing her best to keep Nico from waking, she chased after the frightened girl. Kaili knew the dangers of a wagging tongue, she would not let Nico be tainted by their mistake. Her heart broke for what she must do. The way that she had to leave him.
It wasn't long before the voice was silenced.
Kaili had earned her title once more. She could not return to Nico's side, not stained with blood. Not with the ring now snugly fit on her finger once more.
Little did she know that he had woken to see her escape.
And had felt his own heart break in turn.
#pg 13#Royalty au#nobility au#Dales never fell#Kaili tabris#Nico Mahariel#Nelaros#Kaili has feelings#but isn't allowed to chase after them#Noble courts are almost as dangerous as the streets of denerim#survival is key#mistakes made#mutual pining

I wrote a thing...
Ashley Wren is mesmerised.
Ashley doesn't know why he's drawn to the little restaurant and bakery tucked into the street corner. Maybe because it's 11 O'clock and the frigid autumn night air is freezing him deep to the bone and the restaurant is the only place still open. Aside from a need for warmth, Ashley feels oddly welcome in the restaurant.
There's a group of other magic users at the bar, chugging down drinks like they weren't going to feel it tomorrow. The rest of the restaurant's patrons sat at their tables with their meals or stood around display cases full of cakes and pastries. Ashley's stomach turned at the sight. He's hasn't eaten anything since yesterday, when he bought some McDonald's with the leftover change from his pocket.
I still have five dollars, maybe I could buy a cupcake or something?
Ashley walks up to the counter and takes his place in line, hoping he can at least afford something. Everything here looked delicious to him, especially the chocolate cupcakes.
Ooh, but those cost six dollars. Never mind.
Ashley settled on the triple chocolate chip cookies instead, since they cost four and a half dollars a pair.
The blonde in front of Ashley moved away with her box of red velvet cupcakes, which Ashley couldn't help but admire jealously. Ashley stepped up and fished his money out of the back pocket of his tired old jeans. He's been wearing the same jeans for the past few weeks.
"Um, Hi," Ashley speaks up when he walks forward to meet the cashier. She's got jet black hair pulled back into a high ponytail, the tips of her hair are dyed a dark blue. A few strands hung loosely in her face, over her light brown skin and in front of her blue-grey eyes.
"Hello and welcome to the Glen. My name is Kaili, how can I help you?" She smiles slightly, flashing pearly white teeth and sharp fangs.
"C-Can I have two triple chocolate chip cookies please?" Ashley glanced nervously as his mud-stained shoes, mildly embarrassed at the state of his clothes.
I probably look like a hobo. Oh, god am I a hobo?
"Sure thing." The girl picks up Ashley's cookies and puts them in a paper bag with the restaurant's logo. "That'll be $4.50." She says as she hands it to him.
Ashley handed her each note and counted out the coins carefully on the counter. She scoops them up and puts them into the cash register, not bothering to count out the change.
"Thank you and come again." She hands him a receipt and a little card. Ashley walks towards one of the plush armchairs littered around the sparsely filled room and sits.
Ashley sits and nibbles at one of his cookies, almost moaning from the taste as it flows over his tongue. Whoever made those cookies must be blessed because they have to be one of the best things Ashley has ever eaten.
He doesn't finish his second cookie, despite the grumbling in his stomach. Instead, he tucks it into one of the pockets of his old jacket and examines the card the girl gave him.
It's a scratch card. Ashley scratches of the thin silvery film to reveal his surprise, mildly excited for the first time in ages.
I won a free coffee!
Ashley gets up, almost skipping with excitement as he makes his way towards the counter again. Kaili is gone now. She's been replaced by a taller man with wavy black hair hiding his eyes and skin so pale it looks like he's never seen a minute of sunlight. His nose is slightly crooked like he's broken it before.
The man looks up at Ashley suddenly and he finally gets a good look at the taller man's eyes. They're bright green, like emeralds, and are peering right at Ashley and into his eyes.
Ethan didn't know what to make of the boy when he saw him standing by the checkout counter for the first time. He smelt him first though. Like chocolate and sugar, reminding Ethan of the inside of a bakery. The boy was tiny, the arms of his ratty old jacket flopping past his hands, his hair was by far the most attention-grabbing thing about him. It was a curly black mess and he had lots of it. He looked like he'd been on the streets for a while: his jacket and light brown skin was stained with dust and grime, his jeans were scuffed with mud and a fresh cut ran over his cheek and button nose and right above his soft full lips, all of which were set on a heart-shaped face.
Ethan looked down to meet the boy's wide golden brown eyes. They reminded Ethan of molten bronze. As he looked into the boy's eyes Ethan could feel the swirl of butterflies in his chest and stomach. Both of them stayed silent, neither really knowing what to do or say.
Kaili stepped out from the kitchen, wiping her wet hands off on her dark black apron. She glanced up at Ethan, then the tiny boy he was staring at and let out a deep sigh.
"Ethan, really? I let you man the checkout for a few minutes and you find your soulmate."
Hope you enjoyed. If you did click the link for more.
