hopefully im not late either for the vibe thing but how would u describe this whole aesthetic?

it girl: the brown bunny

the whimsy of twee combined with the pink femininity of modern day coquette, the brown bunny knows that every day is a gift. she finds ways to make every day magical, even if no one else understands.

lotion: baby magic is a classic. soft, powdery and comforting its an instant nostalgic boost.

perfume: nanette lepides namesake scent is a powdery, feminine scent with a light fruity scent. the peach and violet notes add to a gentle musk and warmth that permeates the scent.

perfume oil: poesies innocence is peaches and (coconut) cream. its more peach fuzz. and it wraps around you like a warm robe

Galba

Galba was Roman emperor from June 68 to January 69 CE. With the death of Emperor Nero on June 9, 68 CE, the Julio-Claudian dynasty officially ended, leaving the Roman Empire without a clear successor to the throne. With the assistance of the army, Galba, governor-general of Spain, quickly rose to fill the void.

Early Life

Servius Sulpicius Galba was born into an aristocratic family on December 24, 3 BCE to Gaius Sulpicius Galba and Mummia Achaica. An older brother, Gaius, (ten years his senior) would later commit suicide in 36 CE, due to “financial embarrassment,” after incurring the ire of Emperor Tiberius. While little in known of Galba's early years, historian Suetonius in his The Twelve Caesars wrote that Emperor Augustus singled Galba out of a group of young boys and said, “You too will taste a little of my glory, child,” suggesting that Galba would one day be emperor. The news did not seem to impact Tiberius, the eventual successor to Augustus, when he replied, “Very well, let him live in peace; the news does not concern me in the least.” Suetonius added that the future emperor was “a conscientious student of public affairs, and particularly skilled in law…”

As for his appearance, he was completely bald (although coins of the era picture him with hair) and suffered a severe case of arthritis, crippling both his hands and feet – he was even unable to wear shoes. Galba's only marriage (considered little more than a formality – since he was thought to be homosexual) was to Semilia Lepides. After her death and those of his children, he refused to remarry, despite pressure to do so.

With the exception of Nero, the other Julio-Claudians —Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula and Claudius— seemed to respect Galba, enabling him to hold a series of public offices. He rose rapidly through the ranks, eventually becoming governor of Africa (44 – 45 CE). Earlier in 40 CE, Emperor Caligula had appointed him commander of a legion in Upper Germany, something that endeared him to the young emperor but not to his men. Suetonius wrote, “In grueling manueuvres (sic) he toughened old campaigners as well as raw recruits and sharply checked a barbarian raid into Gaul.” Early on, he had earned a reputation for both cruelty and ruthlessness. Galba believed any sign of disobedience or disrespect to be completely unacceptable and, therefore, a challenge to his authority. His reputation and ability to command grew. Upon the death of Caligula, many even suggested that he assume the throne; but he refused — a gesture that earned the respect of Emperor Claudius. For this loyalty, Claudius appointed him pro-consul of Africa with orders to suppress a series of disturbances and native revolts.

Galba abruptly dropped out of public service in 49 AD; supposedly he had rejected the advances of Claudius's wife and Nero's mother, Agrippina the Younger. He eventually returned to service in 60 CE at Nero's request when the governorship of Spain became available. He held the position for eight years, but as the empire began to crumble under the poor leadership of Nero, many of the provincial governors began to call for his ousting. Marcus Salvius Otho, governor of Lusitania, and Gaius Julius Vindex, one of the governors of Gaul, appealed to Galba to overthrow Nero. Suetonius wrote, “…messengers arrived from Rome with the news that Nero, too, was dead, and that the citizens had all sworn obedience to himself (Galba), so he dropped the title of governor-general and assumed that of Caesar.” Galba was also motivated by rumors that Nero had wanted him assassinated.

I would love to hear about lepid(do(?))endron "trees" honestly, why are they not quite trees?

They mimic the form of a tree, but are part of the lycopsid family, not under the tree umbrella.

natalie macalistair - an angsty teenage ghost “””girl””” who is desperately running from their past and themself no matter the cost or who it hurts

aziel lockstone/“poet” - a traveling writer who settles down in the lepid grove on the coopSMP (collaborative story with friends we have videos and everything) after being chased out of town after town. eventually the horrors ensue as his family is torn apart. how far is he willing to go to find something (or someone) that will last?

avery laurier, the ace of hearts - an oc i stole my name from when i transitioned LAWL. the owner of serpent’s eye casino and the god of luck, who takes punishing the unfortunate malefactors who wander into their domain into their own hands when the other gods fail to do so.

Any suggestions for names related to moths or bugs in general?

Lepidoptera (Lepid, Optera, however you want to slice it) - the order moths belong to (along with other bugs like butterflies) (second source)

Moððe - a moth (second source) (from same source, Motti, Mot, and Motte)

Insecta - class for insects

Dicondylia (Dicon, Delia, once again however you wanna slice it) - apparently all insects except for jumping bristletails??? Which are this

Entomo - insect

Skoros - moth (edit -)

Feel free to suggest more or correct us!!

what are your thoughts on everyone you know in the realm now that Certain Events have passed

Listing everyone I know would be a bit tedious, but I’ll try to answer about as many as I can.

Thyme seems to be the same as ever, though it’s a bit unnerving how unbothered he seemed to be. The thing that apparently bothered him, though, was seeing me in danger. I honestly wasn’t sure that he cared for me that much until recently.

Mona came to visit me shortly after my return home. Perhaps I’m just being paranoid, but something feels different about the way she smiles at me. I’m worried about her. I never wanted her to have to see such terrible things.

Eleazer just seems to be happy to see me, but I know something happened. Thyme told me they died and respawned. I’m sure it had something to do with… Xander. I’m ashamed I allowed him to hurt them in the first place. I haven’t talked to Eleazer about it yet. I should soon.

I’ve been trying to repair the damage I did to Miss Eva in the past few months. I spoke to her recently and apologized. Before that, I was admittedly worried she never wanted to see me again. I don’t know why she still cared for me even after I was so awful to her, but I feel grateful she did as much as I feel guilty.

As for everyone else, I just hope that at most, they don’t chase me out of the Lepid Grove. After what I’ve done — the lying, the selfish decisions — that’s all I can ask for, and nothing more.

Godly Warriors - Canid Capture Part 4

AN: Hope yall enjoy my insect people :D

First Part - Previous - Next - Intro/Master Post

CWs: references to body related insecurity, references to blood loss

Lepid POV

----

My wings were being tended to, our medics trained heavily in each warrior's anatomy. Mine were especially tricky, easy to break or damage due to their size and structure. So, to distract myself from the procedures being done on them, I watched my sibling.

Cole was visibly uncomfortable about being in close proximity with Canid. She would constantly glance across the medical tent as if something about her presence would mean danger.

"We're not going to be killed. You really need to calm down. It's not like we kidnapped her." I eventually said, giving her a look.

"I'm not scared!" Cole exclaimed, conjouring an offended look.

"I didn't say you were scared."

She opened her mouth to retort and promptly looked away, embarrassed, "Shut up."

I rolled my eyes, "Why don't we discuss actual issues?"

He looked to me, jaw set, "The poachers blocked the last path to the mammalian temples. I'm positive they've been tracking Canid, which would explain why they've been moving so weirdly."

"Correct." I glanced to Canid, who looked half dead, "Which means we're going to have her tagging along for a while."

Cole dug her hands into her cloak and glared at nothing, "Fuck."

I straightened my clothes, uncomfortable in the fit of Cole's shirt. It was slightly too big on me but was the only shirt compatible with wings we had on hand. I felt exposed, the colar going down too far and the back hole too tight.

"Lepid Sir," a medic got my attention, "We finished with the Warrior. She lost a lot of blood, but there are no signs of infection. She shouldn't be moved for as long as we can manage. Much more bloodloss will be fatal."

"Thank you Mallow. Keep someone at her bedside, she may try to stand." I bowed slightly as I stood, turning to Cole, "Release your wings. You look sore."

She sighed, pulling harshly on her breastplate straps before ripping it off. Her deep brown wings spread out, and she relaxed slightly, "Go rest. I'm going to send out some scouts."

-

The air was heavy with unrest. Cole sat on her bed, acting as though she wasn't watching me try to lay down comfortably. I knew she felt my pain, remembering the days we used to lay on our backs.

"Do you need me to help?" She finally blurted out.

"Please." I said weakly, sitting up and bracing myself to make it easier for her.

Cole walked over, pausing slightly before putting her hands on my back. He gave the best massages, also understanding the way our back muscles worked. I practically melted under her touch, letting out a low groan as she released part of my lower back.

"You owe me." She says, pressing into the space between my upper and lower wings, relieving tension I wasn't even aware of.

"Thank you."

I stretch, feeling more free than I had in months. The human body was not and will never be designed for wings. I look to Cole, who had her wings out, a sight even I rarely saw.

"You should keep them out more often. That brestplate is gonna make dents in your shoulders." I reminded him, gesturing to her mostly bare chest, the chafing almost impressively bad.

"You know it makes me feel vulnerable." Cole didn't make eye contact with me, her softer side something she hid from everyone else.

I couldn't argue with her, knowing how much shame she held for her "improper" manifestation of her Warrior side. We both know it's because she's part beetle, the craving of an armored shell only natural.

"Get some sleep. You look half dead." He called over, climbing into her own bed.

Got a name for the "angels", they're lepids now

So the three kind I have in mind to work with;

Shadow Lepid [ Shaymie/Shadow ]

Light Lepid [ Violet/Vio ]

Celestial Lepid [ N/A ]

Name originating from the scientific name for moth yet also can mean pleasant or scale. Fitting for something based on angels that is sometime dragon-like !

Whether or not I add more variants depends on if I feel like they need more, but as it is I think the 3 are fine.

As for current world layering;

Celestial Horizon [ celestial lepids are here ]

Upper isles

Lower isles [ light lepids are here; these is the most populated layer and where the main cast currently is living ]

Abyss [ shadow lepids are here ]

Greater abyss

Nowhere

I'll be doing my best to flesh out the magic functionality as well as all the types of beings here, and what can be found in each layer. I want to get enough world building out before I focus much on the silly found family plot that it would be easy to make ocs for, though I don't even know if that's something people would be interested in XD

Either way I'd need to make ocs to fill out the world bc the fsa cast isn't big enough oops. I might also add in non-fsa characters !!
