you probably *have* already but in case if you haven't - have you checked out the tactics ogre artbook on archive.org? there's a particular delicious slickness to the armor that made me think of you. -krad :3

i have NOT seen actually and if I'm being honest—beyond FFXIV and an unfinished playthrough of XV i am not actually a big final fantasy player haha. Its very unfamiliar/newish to me despite all the fantasy-swords-and-magic love and XIV sub.... lol

I've been meaning to check out Tactics Ogre since my brother is a fan of its artstyle and tells me I ought to take a look too!! Maybe I should ..oouh

Dear @teenwolfholidayfest ,

All I want this year is…

a) Anything featuring raccoon shifter Stiles! fic, ficlet, art, edit, whatever it is, I'd love to see it!

b) Art, edit, podfic, or some other type of transformative work based on any of my fanfics (ThePurebloodPrat on ao3)

c) Some sort of Gentleman/Phantom Thief AU! (as in, Sly Cooper, Lupin, Tuxedo Mask, Kaito Kidd, etc.) I'd love a fic but I feel like this could be a really cool gifset also, so I'm really open! My favorite characters are Stiles, Derek, Jackson, Lydia, the Sheriff, Peter, Scott, and Erica, so I feel like there are lots of really cool ways this could be done.

d) Historical/Medieval Fantasy art! Edits or gifsets or moodboards are also welcome, i just like pretty pictures and crown symbolism.

e) Any kind of shifter!Stiles creation, but especially unusual creatures! I love foxes and wolves but I'd love to see more weird stuff, like cats and crows and otters and opossums. And, of course, Raccoons, but that got its own special request line because i am a sucker for those mischievous little thumb-having beasts.

f) An edit or graphic Phone Background. Single characters (Jackson, Stiles, or Derek) or Ships (Stackson, Sterek) or just general Teen Wolfness are all appreciated that is sized to be a phone background. I've been looking for a new lockscreen because it feels too vain to always use my own art LOL (i'm also hunting for a phone case in the same vein, but I'm not really putting in a specific request for that. I'd love rec links though!)

g) Lastly, I rly enjoy Cover Art specifically for fics (like with the text and everything) both having and Making and I would love to collab with other Gifters if they're interested in fic/cover art combo! I'd love to receive cover art or exchange cover art or make cover art for the fic you're making for someone else. (: Hope that's okay to add!

Thanks, @thotpuppy (:

Hey Val!💓 For the ask game: 📷, 🙃 and 💎

Hey Klara 💖💖

Thanks for sending an ask !!

Let's goooo !!

📷 What's set as your phone's lockscreen ?

I already answered here so I pick another question instead !

*****

✨ Do you have any nicknames ?

My real name is Valérie, so Val is the nickname people use the most. My siblings call me Lily since forever. My teen kitty cat calls me Mingounette (long story) instead of Mum [or sometimes Hange -how adorable 😳- & call their father Erwin most of the time lmao]

*****

🙃 What's a weird fact that you know ?

Weird fact ? I would say creepy instead : in France, necrogamy is legal since 1959. It means you can marry a dead person (under strict conditions though.) The couple must have been making marriage preparations before one of them died. The living partner must also have a good reason for wanting the marriage. When the dead partner is male, it is often because the living partner is pregnant.

*****

💎 What's your most prized possession ?

I'm a huge fan of the Arthurian Legend & my most prized possession is a (recent) French edition of Chrétien de Troyes's 'Perceval le Gallois' with illuminations like those you can see in medieval manuscripts. I love it so much, it's so beautiful !! Sorry for the shitty quality of the pictures... Here's my Holy Grail !

Thanks again for asking !!

Have a nice week-end Sweetie 💖💖

Edinburgh looks like a dark academia paradise

[floralhoneytears]

Throwback to when I had just started taking pictures. These were taken in 2018, at the Estense Castle in Ferrara 📍 (northern Italy).

I edited them myself, with Lightroom. It seems like a lifetime ago, even the editing I do now is very different. In a way it seems "heavy" to me, but there are still some of my favorite photos.

Let me know what you think 🏹

{ iPhone and iPad wallpapers ✨

I made and edited these photos myself, so please don't pass them off as yours. They are for free use, as wallpaper for phones / ipads or even to be printed for boards. (or whatever, in short) ✨ }

[evsermore]

Edinburgh is pure dark academia.

Medieval Horse Egg Lockscreen

Finally caught enough of “Lovesick” on the overhead at work to look up the rest of the lyrics, found out it’s familiar because I used to listen to a ton of classical music when I was a teen because I was a nerd. Had to go look up Hungarian Dance No. 5 again.

Does Spider-Man count as a celebrity?

Tagging: anyone else who’d like to get in on this!

tagged by @chasingfictions to post my lock screen, the last song i listened to, and the last picture of a celebrity i saved.

-Mind Stone- Peter Parker x Female Reader Part 2

    ☼-☪-☼

   Kody: Part 2 in this shit

  Movie/Show: After Endgame, but no one died because ignorance is bliss.

  Summary: In the attack of 2012, you were given powers that you couldn’t understand at such a young age.

  Possible Triggers / Warnings: Cursing, Mentions of blood and harm,

    ☼-☪-☼

   Tony handed you a bandaid. You took it from his hand and notice the cartoon picture of Iron Man on it. What a not surprised in the slightest. You peel off of the paper backing and stick it over the small wound caused by the needle. “Were done, but i want you to stay here until we can get Thor and antlers here”

   you exhale deeply. After already spending the night you thought you’d be back at the girls home by now. Not that you wanted to go back, you just didn’t want to hear Nancy’s bitching once you did return “I think my caretaker might worry about me if i’m gone again” 

   Tony placed the tablet he was holding on the counter and looked at you “Yeah she’s a real piece of work isn’t she. You have special permission now” he says. What in the vague. You hop off the chair and feel your phone buzz in your pocket.

   you stuck your hand into the dark grey sweatpants you wore. Wanda offered you clothes to sleep in so you wouldn’t be so uncomfortable. She gave you a matching slightly cropped tank and sweatpants. She was a sweetheart. Once you pull out your phone you tap the screen. 

   it was a text from Peter ‘Can you get away for a minute?’ you hold back the urge to smile and look up at Tony “Can i go?” you ask and he waves his hand, shooing you way “Yeah we’re good. Get some rest and make sure to hydrate. Now get out”

   you roll your eyes with a half smile before walking towards the door “Bye” you say before pushing it open and heading out.

    ☼-☪-☼

   you push open the door you were staying in and saw Peter sitting on the bed, picking at his nails. He looks up once he hears the noise and smiles upon seeing you “Hey” he says. You smile back and walk over to stand in front of him, looking down to meet his gaze “Hello”

   Peter looks at you then the bed. What is he a bed? You take a seat next to him, but end up laying back to look at the ceiling “You look tired” Peter says and lays back next to you. You chuckle quietly “Yeah. I got my blood drawn, but at least it’s over with”

   Peter hums in response. You notice he awkwardly folded his hands over his chest, not knowing what to do with them. You shuffle over and lay your head on his chest, feeling him instantly tense up. “Is this okay or are you going to implode?” 

   he shakes his head “No!-” he protests “i mean it’s okay, just uh- just stay there” he says in a more quiet tone. You stifle a bit of laughter and curl up next him, feeling a bit drowsy at this point. Peter wraps arm around your waist “Are you tired?”

   “Yeah a little” you respond, closing your eyes. Peter holds onto you as he moves to the top of the bed, laying his head on a pillow “You should sleep then, i’ll wake you up if something happens” he talked in a more hushed tone now. You smile  before dozing off. 

   “Y/n?” he says before he is interrupted by quiet snores. He smiles to himself, wishing he didn’t leave his phone in his bag so he could take a picture of you. Would that be weird? It’s not like he would made it his lockscreen. Nevermind that’s the exact reason he would take a photo.

   he raised his free arm to try and web his bag to him, but once he did you started to stir slightly “Not worth it not worth it” he mumbles before kissing your head. He stays still until you stop moving before exhaling. He had never cared about another person's nap so much.

   damn his arm was starting to fall asleep. 

    ☼-☪-☼

   an hour later

   Wanda opened the door to your room and was slightly surprised to see Peter playing with your hair while you slept on his chest “Uh- i knocked, why didn’t you say anything?” she asked. Peter looked down at you for a moment then Wanda “I didn’t want to wake her up. I also can’t feel my arm”

   she smiles brightly at the young love “Why didn't you just move her” she questions, folding her arms across her chest “I have never moved each time you fell asleep on me” Vision spoke from behind her. Wanda looks at him with a slightly shocked expression “You can move. I wouldn’t have been mad”

   “That’s not the point darling. I don’t want to move” Vision replies. Wanda sighs “Will talk more about this later’ she says to him before “Tony would like to see her in the main lobby. i’m assuming he doesn’t know your here?” she says with a small grin. 

   Peter smiles nervously “Yeah- i snuck in. I- i- can get her up. Just give me a few minutes” he said with a pleading look. Wanda smiles, nodding and grabs Visions arm “Bye Peter” she said and walked alongside her lover, closing the door shut. 

   Peter sighs, not really wanting to move at this point, but knew you had to be somewhere. He starts to softly shake your shoulder “Y/n- Y/n you have to get up. Mr. Stark needs you in the lobby” you mumble something incoherent to him before rolling over onto your other side. “No”

   he chuckles to himself and stretches his arm for a second “Come on- we can always sleep later” he tries to rationalize. You groan out before propping yourself up on your elbows “Fine, but i’m not going to enjoy whatever the hell is happening” you say in an attempt to be petty. 

   you hear Peter laugh at your response “I’ll come with you then” he suggests. You smile slightly at the thought and throw your legs over the bed. “Let’s go then” you say and let out yawn. You walk over to the side of the bed Peter was on nd slip your feet into the slippers on the floor. 

   Peter stands up and reaches up to fix his now bed head. You lift your hand and move a piece of hair from his face “Thank you” he says and you nod. Suddenly, he leans down and captures your lips in his, catching you a bit off guard but you weren’t complaining. 

   you went to pull away when one his hands was placed on the small of your back, pulling you flush against him. Well damn Peter Parker. He deepens the kiss more by placing his other hand on the nape of your neck. After a couple seconds you both pull away “What was that for?” you ask. 

   “I haven’t got to kiss you all day” he says with a brow raised like it was so obvious. “Oh okay” you hold back some laughter. 

    ☼-☪-☼

   you and Peter walk to the lobby. During your small walk he wrapped his arm around your shoulders and kept you close to him while he talked about how he got his powers. A radioactive spider. That seemed much more awesome then being manipulated by a god at the age of six.

   “Well look at you two” you both look up too see Tony grinning at the both of you so close together. Peter’s face flushes, but he keeps his arm around you “Tony don’t tease them” Wanda comments. Peter hides his face behind your head until the redness went down. 

   “Nice one Spider-Boy” you comment, earning yourself a small growl under his breath, which was interesting to hear to be honest. Suddenly a yellow circle appeared in front of the glass doors. You instinctively take a step back, but Peter keeps you in place “It’s okay” he reassures. 

   you trust his word and stay put as the circle grew quite large. A man stepped out. He was wearing sort of medieval clothes with a maroon cape that seemed to move on its own- Dr. Strange? “Hello” he said to the room and steps to the side as....Thor the god of thunder steps  through the portal, hair cut short.

   at first you were slightly fangirling inside, but then it sunk in who would walk in next. In all his glory, Loki the god of mischief walks through and stands next to his brother. He was wearing an all black suit. You couldn’t tell if you wanted to throw up or run away- maybe both. 

   “Would anyone like to explain why we’re here?” Thor asks, shaking Tony’s hand. “I would also like to know that, considering no one here likes me” Loki adds, fixing the cuffs of his sleeves. “Yeah antlers shut it- 2012 attack. Remember talking to a little girl?”

   Loki gave Tony a strange look “May i remind you all that i was under the control of Thanos and barley remember a thing. Also, what little girl? I hate children” he says with a face of slight disgust. “I might be able to help you all with that” Strange cuts in.

   “Even if you don’t remember anything. Those memories are still locked away in your head. I could access them” he says, gesturing to one of his hands. Loki looks him up and down “I will not have anyone inside my head, that’s sort of my thing” he retorts. 

   Thor crosses his arms over his broad chest “Why is this important?” he directed his question to Tony. “Infinity Stone cleanup.” he says vaguely. Loki sighs and takes a deep breath after “Fine- make it quick and only look at what you need too.

   Strange steps forward “Trust me- i don’t want to look at anything else” he reassures amd steps behind Loki. He placed his hands on either sides of Loki’s head and began to mumble a few words. In an instant it was like Loki became a projector.

   his memory was played in a hologram like manner. Peter and you watch from behind so its inverted for the both of you- not like you haven’t lived through it or anything, but okay. All of you watched as Loki gave you the powers and your tiny body float up then faint. 

   once the memory was over Loki watched the tiny child disappear along with the memory and left standing behind the little girl was you. It didn’t take a genius to put two and two together at this point. “Why did you show me this?” Loki snapped, pushing Strange’s hands away from his head. 

   “Because reindeer games. You under the raisins control only gave her a tad of the Mind Stone’s power- just the teleportation and portals. You gave her some of your powers” Tony says. The room collectively gasped “I- What?” Loki replied before looking at you. 

   you felt your body tense a bit. Peter felt his spidey sense flare up and kept his arm tightly wrapped around you, but for so long you wanted to confront this guy. Tell him off. Wish him dead, but you had just learned it wasn’t his fault. What were you to do now?

   you push away from Peter, despite his protest and confidently walked up to Loki, stopping a few feet away from him “Hey, i guess” you say, shrugging your shoulders. Loki gulps and nods at you “Hello. I uh- i apologize for what i did” he said, you can tell he was struggling to find the words. 

   you wave your hand “Don’t be. You can do one thing for me though” you say, a malicious grin making a way to your face. Loki narrows his eyes before answering “and that would be?” he asked. What could you possibly want from him?

   “Teach me how to use it”

    ☼-☪-☼

   a month later

   “You can do better” Loki scolded as he circled around you. You were both in the training room and had been at it for three hours. You were regretting asking him to teach you how to use these damned powers. “Go again!” he exclaims and you form to blades as he charges at you. 

   you push yourself left and watch as Loki stumbles a bit. You use this opportunity to drop down and kick him completely off balance. Loki falls to the floor and as you went to hit him, he kicked you in the chest, knocking the wind out of you “OH you slimy prick!” you coughed.

   Loki grins as he pushes himself off the floor “I’ll add it to the list of things you call me” he says before coming at you again. You stood there and waited until he was inches away before dropping to the floor and sliding across. You end up behind him and wrap your arm around his neck, holding the blade against it.

   you could Loki huffs to try and catch his breath “Much better. Now we’re done for the day” he declares. You exhale and let go of him “Thank god” you say and wave your hand, the blade fading away. “I’ll clean up, you leave. I’m sure your bug boy is waiting for you” Loki rolls his eyes. 

   “His name is Peter and he’s scared of you” you say with narrowed eyes. His frown turns into a small grin “Good” he replies. You chuckle to yourself before walking towards the door “Bye Loki” you say before walking out the room. Time to hit the showers. 

    ☼-☪-☼

   after taking a shower, you sat down on your bed, looking out the window. You wished Loki was right about Peter waiting for you, but he had been busy all week with crime and patrolling. He was Spider-Man after all. You had just hadn’t expect to be so clingy. 

   it was late as much you wanted to stay up for him you decided to just get some rest. You had put on Peters midtown sweatshirt he left a couple weeks ago. It smelt like him so it’ll have to do until you could see your actual boyfriend ago- holy shit. He had never really asked you to be his girlfriend.

   how come you didn’t notice that before? You were just happy to be with him that you didn’t care about the labels and such. Strange. You climb into bed and pulled the comforter over you while grabbing a pillow to hug close to your chest. It helped you fall asleep sometimes. 

   you plug in your phone and place it on the empty space in the bed. Closing your eyes you force yourself to drift off to sleep so tomorrow could come quicker. It was child like logic, but hey- sometimes children logic is all you need. 

    ☼-☪-☼

   a couple hours later

   your eyes slowly open and your met with the sight of Peter in his suit, just outside your window. He was knocking on it and looking around outside. Not creepy at all. You get up out of bed, using one hand to rub your eyes while the other undid the latch of the window. 

   “Hey. Sorry for waking you” he says, climbing into the room and taking off his mask. You walk back to your bed and pick up your phone “Peter it’s two in the morning. Isn’t May going to worry where you are?” you question. YOu turn around just as his suit faded into the spider symbol. 

   Peter shakes his head and places the symbol down on the dresser “No. She knows i’m staying here tonight” he says. You narrow your eyes, walking over to him “You didn’t tell me you were staying over. I haven’t gotten any time with you this week” you say with a small pout. 

   he smiles and grabs your hands “That’s why i’m here- is that my sweatshirt?” he asked, looking down at the blue piece of clothing. You shrug “Maybe” he shakes his head “You look really good in it Might have to let you keep it” he says and leans down to give you a kiss, but you turn your head away.

   “I wasn’t planning on giving it back to you bug boy” you tease. Damn- you gotta stop hanging out with Loki for awhile. Peter’s face drops “I’m ignoring the bug comment for now. You rejected my kiss. I haven’t kissed you all week Y/n” his tone was whiney and made you want to laugh. 

   “I’m sorry” you say trying to hold back laughter. Peter smiles and finally plants his lips on yours, It was like every other kiss, sweet. Until Peter did his whole hand on the back of your neck thing to pull you in for deeper kiss. You reach up to wrap your arms loosely around his neck. 

   Peter lifts you off the ground and places you on the bed, breaking the kiss “Hm. I missed that” he whispers and leans his forehead against yours. You smile, looking up at him. You arms fall as you let out a yawn “and i missed my human pillow, now get under the covers”

   “Yes ma’am” he replies with a quiet laugh and lays on his back. You lay your head on his chest and tangle your legs with his. Peter pulls the blanket over the both of you “Night Y/n” he says and kisses your head sweetly before closing his eyes. You smile and close yours as well. 

   “Goodnight Peter”

Please I love this so much

my moodboards started overlapping and i realised the ravenclaw aesthetic is identical to the medieval islamic period - blue and gold everywhere, starry domes, astronomy, manuscripts, knowledge…

Thank you @cinnamonraindrops and @jimkongin for nominating me! ❤❤❤

So, my lockscreen, the last song i listened to and the last picture i took!

I was in my eurovision feels and i discovered mahmood's last album and ... it slaps. Gives me even more motivation to learn italian (i almost gave up when i realised i couldn't roll the R, damn)

And it is a picture of Aubusson, a little medieval village in the country ! As you can see my skills as a photographer are second to none (jk i suck)

I'm nominating @you-belong-among-wildflowers (i love your blog ❤) and @dayafterdae (your blog is so positive!)

Can you tell a bit about that medieval island in France? I'm absolutely fascinated about it, can't stop thinking of it

it would be my absolute pleasure! 😊

It's called Le Mont Saint Michelle and it's located in Normandy (yet some would argue that it's part of Brittany). It's a tidal island, meaning the sea level rises and falls during the day, and depending on a moon, the levels can rise so much that it actually becomes a proper island! You can walk to it either by foot or by a cute bus 😊 and you can walk either on a bridge or on sand (but i'm pretty sure you can only do it with a tour guide because the tides can be unpredictable).

The island has adorable narrow streets with shops and caffés. There is also a really beautiful abbey at the top - which we unfortunately didn't visit.

A fun fact that i learned while being there is that since the tides can get quite high, the soil in this part of Normandy is quite salty which gives the sheep meat a unique taste. They are also famous for their cookies and caramel with salt which are in my opinion amazing 😁

I visited it with my family two years ago when we went to visit a good friend who plays football in France. My mom had a photo of Le Mont set as her lockscreen for a few years without even knowing what it is, so when the opportunity arised, we were more than thrilled to visit! The place looks like it's supposed to be a part of a set for a disney movie 😍 We didn't stay there the whole day because we had a ton of things we wanted to see, but when the night falls, the place is allegedly even more magical.

I hope this gave you some insight, but if you want to ask me anything else, feel free to do so 😊

some photos i took that day:

and this is how it looks like at night (not mine):
