#mcl aurora

[melodyalanaroster]

Royal Family

I’ve gotten into the habit of making edits on my days off from work that I don’t end up writing... So, here’s Nathaniel, Alana and their daughter, Aurora.

I completely modified the Sailor Harmony outfit for Aurora to have her fit in with Alana. Her charms are the roses from a previous Valentine’s Day event.

Nathaniel’s sprite is one of the custom ones I made myself.

I know I’ve said this before, but Alice made the Sailor Harmony conversion that I used to make Alana’s sprite. 

[the-mcl-life]

happy new year, everyone!🎉🎉 future aurora had fun with each potential s/o this christmas and so did i~! 💜

IATF-EID lifts travel restrictions on 36 countries starting Feb 1, other restrictions remain in place

#PHinfo: IATF-EID lifts travel restrictions on 36 countries starting Feb 1, other restrictions remain in place

CALOOCAN CITY, Jan. 31 (PIA) --The Bureau of Immigration (BI) announced that they will be lifting the travel restrictions on the 36 countries with reported cases of the new Covid-19 variants starting Feb 1, following a directive from the Inter-Agency Task Force Against Emerging and infectious Diseases (IATF).

However, BI Commissioner Jaime Morente clarified that other travel restrictions remain in place.

“We are still limiting the entry of foreign nationals to the country, following the IATF,” said Morente. “Generally speaking, tourists are still not allowed to enter the country,” he added.

Current restrictions only allow the entry of accredited foreign diplomats and personnel of accredited international organizations such as the World Health Organization and the United Nations, foreign dignitaries, and those for medical and emergency cases, including their medical escorts.

Foreign spouse and minor children of Filipinos, children with special needs regardless of age of Filipinos, foreign parent of minor Filipinos, and foreign parent of Filipino children with special needs regardless of age will also be allowed entry.

Permanent residents under Section 13 of the Philippine Immigration Act, RA 7919, and EO 324, as well as those with Native Born visas may enter. Also allowed are those married to Filipinos with Temporary Resident Visas and MCL-07-021 Permanent Resident Visas relative to Section 13 of CA 613.

Investors with an EO 226 visa, Special Investors Resident Visa under EO 226, 47(a)2 visa issued by the Department of Justice, and Section 9(d) Treaty Traders visa will also be allowed, together with those with economic zone visas under Aurora Pacific Economic Zone, Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority, Authority of the Freeport Area of Bataan, Cagayan Economic Zone Authority and Clark Development Corporation Additionally, holders of Section 9(g) visas who left the country starting December 17, 2020 may return upon presentation of a valid ACr I-Card and Special Return Certificate.

Except for those qualified as balikbayans under Republic Act No. 6868, all exempted foreign nationals are required to have a valid and existing visa at the time of entry, with a pre-booked accommodation facility for at least 7 nights in an accredited quarantine facility, subject to COVID-19 testing protocols as set by the Department of Health, and subject to the maximum capacity of inbound passengers.

The massive Sailor Moon pack is DONE!!!!!!

I partnered up with @candysweetposts to make this MASSIVE Sailor Moon pack for My Candy Love. 

She edited every last talisman, wand and staff for the Solar System scouts, helped me turn Nathaniel into Tuxedo Mask and Prince Endymion, made the Sailor Harmony conversion that I used to make this, made the base and hair to her scout, made the Princess Serenity pack that I used for some of Sailor Moon’s stuff, and made the sword that I edited for @idolcandy‘s scout.

The scouts in the second pic are my Discord Mods. Belodie, Daisy, Aloy, Soul and idol.

The scouts in the third pic are my OCs. Ariadne, Severina, Aurora, Alana, Sam and Willow.

The scouts in my third pic are Aoife, Alice and Drachea Rannak’s OC (Sailor Vanity).

You can download the pack here: https://www.deviantart.com/melanieratford/art/Sailor-Moon-Cosplay-Pack-957057449

If you’d like to download the pack that Alice made with the Princess Serenity cosplay, you can get it here:

https://www.deviantart.com/fnaffanart67/art/MCL-UL-pack-Valentine-s-day-outfits-830399369

@sammyjomcl I’m tagging you because I know you like Sailor Moon... And Nathaniel is Tuxedo mask here, so have fun!

@chinomiko It has been an absolute pleasure doing this project! And it all started by the fact that I celebrated 10 years of playing My Candy Love back in January!

[the-mcl-life]

this is the very first event i have ever participated in (even if it’s only in university life) and i think these outfits are really cute~! aurora looks cute in these and i can’t wait to use some of these pieces in other outfits :D

i was with my mom and family at a hotel i think somewhere like hawaii or something and then my mom was talking to somebody she knew and he did something to make me think he was a murderer so i was SCARED for my life and everyone else's and i went into our hotel room (but it didn't look like a hotel room) and i guess it was his room too and i was trying to hide in the furthest corner away from sight from the door and i was so scared then my mom came over and was like "ok stop hiding everyone's okay! he's not mad anymore!" and then i came out of hiding and started rubbing a green clay face mask on my face and then he grabbed my mom and took her! and i got scared again and was screaming then i was at a party with my friends and a bunch of people from high school were there and i went out side and saw harry styles! and i was like lol whys he here? and sat down near him and brian roberts who was trying very hard to impress him and kind of succeeding but he left very soon after that and i was like dang. unfortunate. and nick mcl**d was there and i was like oh hey! and kissed his hand and then was trying really hard to take pictures and videos for my story and the aurora borealis were in the sky! and i was like wow! gotta take a pic! and there was a geotag that was something like "catch the lights before they're gone!" but i couldn't get a good pic :-/ and then the sky moved and they were gone

I turned @magic-belodie, @aloy97, @idolcandy, and @mochichaotic into Sailor Scouts!

@candysweetposts I am having A LOT of fun editing your Sailor Harmony conversion! I also edited one of your swords to match the color scheme I have for Idol’s candy! I got a lot of stuff from the Custom Sucrette maker since I didn’t have them all either on my profile on MCL or saved to my laptop. 

@idolcandy I realized something... The color scheme I have for you is very similar to the one I have for Alana’s daughter, Aurora! That’s why I tried to emphasize the purple with you, whereas with Aurora, I focused more on the blue. XD I also took inspiration from Sailor Uranus for yours... Hence the sword. Sailor Sidney is definitely the “cool, strong” type.

@magic-belodie I tried to represent the fact that you’re the one making guides for the fandom by having the wand, tech glasses, and the book. I also picked that hair since it goes great with your color scheme. Sailor Belodie is definitely the Sailor Mercury of the group.

@mochichaotic I know your staff covers a good amount of Kentin’s face... But I thought it would be nice to have it since your color scheme and chosen Love Interest were perfect to go with a natural staff. Sailor Sera has a similar color scheme to Sailor Jupiter... But, Jupiter’s power is thunder and lightning, so Sera’s powers are more nature based.

@aloy97 Yours was pretty easy... Black and red is a very simple color scheme for me to do and it goes great with Castiel. Unlike my staff, yours is the direct one that we got in the event that it comes from. The same go for the stockings and shoes that I used for yours. I thought it would be cool to add the tech goggles to add more style to Sailor Micaela.

meet aurora~! i love how she looks right now and i can’t wait to dress her up even more! 🥰💕💖

(also her top came from a cupcake with wings??? but it’s cute so imma let her keep it  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and the flower in her hair came from jade’s ending in ep 3 and i think that’s so adorable! *squeals*) (jkfhdkghzs don’t pay attention to the part of her hair that’s tucked underneath her top)

Aurora Elysia Jacott

I’m aware of the fact that this is technically a repost... But I’m trying to tidy everything up when it comes to archiving stuff for Alana’s Story!

Aurora Elysia Jacott is Alana’s and Nathaniel’s daughter.  She is a very precocious, clever, sensible, artsy, young woman. Due to Nathaniel reading her his favorite mystery novels as long as she’s existed (seriously, he’d read them out loud to Alana’s belly during pregnancy), she’s got quite the attachment to mystery novels and crime fighting. Like her mother, she likes the Deadly Arts, and her favorite weapons are blades that she can conceal. By the time she gets into college, she’s still undecided on whether or not she wants to be a special agent for the armed forces, a private eye, or a forensic scientist. As a child, she idolized her grandmother, Lynne, for being a novelist, and her aunt, Amber, for being a model.

Her entire family is very protective of her. Nathaniel tries his best to be a kind, but firm father… But, due to his fear of becoming like Francis, he hates to be the bad guy.

By the time that she’s in college, Adelaide has met her… But she’s NEVER met Francis. Each time she’s asked her mother why Nathaniel won’t let her meet her grandfather, Alana tells her “Trust me, baby girl, your father will tell you when he’s ready.”. She tries sleuthing to find out, but Alana has Armin help her in locking that information out of her reach. Out of respect for Nathaniel, not even Amber says anything. Like her mother, she’s bisexual.

Credit for the baby and kid bases goes to EMoralsG24 on DeviantArt. Credit for the template goes to MilkitaLoliSad on DeviantArt. I did edit the one for Aurora because it says “Currently” and currently, Aurora doesn’t even exist. She is part of Alana’s and Nathaniel’s future.
