New video alert!! Cast 13 has a full show, y’all!!!

(Not sure why the uploader went with a Warsaw promo pic for the thumbnail, but I promise the video is what it says it is. Also, the videographer was evidently not very secretive about their filming, so expect more kitties spiking the camera than normal.)

[soh-da-meatball]

I recently completed a commission for Logan Mortier, who played Munkustrap in the Cast 13 of Oasis of the Seas ٩( ᐛ )و!!! He wanted a piece that would capture the relationship he shared on stage with his fiancé, Lewis Rimmel who played Macavity! What an honour to be given the opportunity to work on this! I was very excited and I had a lot of fun working on this commission 🥰 Thank you so much to Logan!!

The Temptation Game - (Chapter 13)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter Title: A Decade Later Warning for Readers This chapter contains themes of emotional distress, introspection, and reflections on past relationships. Summary Ten years after parting ways with Jungkook, Y/N stands at the pinnacle of her career as the CEO of Opal Oasis, recognized as the Best Businesswoman of the Year. Despite her accomplishments, memories of Jungkook and the love they shared haunt her, leaving her questioning whether achieving her dreams was worth the cost of losing him. Word Count : 1,136 words

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Days, months, and even years rolled on, like sand slipping through an hourglass, each grain representing moments of laughter, tears, and growth. Ten years had passed since Y/N and Jungkook had parted ways, their hearts still intertwined in the echoes of memories, but their paths had diverged, leading them to new destinies.

"10 years later..."

The atmosphere buzzed with anticipation in a grand hall filled with the most influential businesswomen and men in the city. Luxurious chandeliers sparkled overhead, casting a warm glow over the elegantly dressed attendees. The stage was set, and the air was thick with excitement as the Master of Ceremonies stepped up to the microphone.

"Ladies and gentlemen," the MC's voice echoed through the venue, drawing every eye toward the stage. "Tonight, we celebrate excellence, resilience, and ambition. The award for Best Businesswoman of the Year goes to an individual who has redefined success in her field and has inspired many with her unwavering spirit."

The audience held their breath as the anticipation grew. Y/N felt a flutter of nerves in her stomach, but she pushed it down, reminding herself of all the hard work she had put in to reach this moment.

"And the award goes to... Ms. Y/N, the CEO of Opal Oasis, a chain of restaurants and hotels!"

Applause erupted in the room, a cacophony of clapping hands and joyous cheers. A mix of pride and humility washed over Y/N as she stood up, her heart racing. She took a moment to breathe, gathering her thoughts and steadying her nerves.

With a stunning beauty that radiated confidence and a powerful aura that demanded attention, Y/N stepped onto the stage. Each step echoed the sacrifices she had made, the late nights spent working, the moments of doubt that had threatened to consume her. She remembered the pain of leaving Jungkook behind, the love that had once filled her heart but now transformed into a bittersweet memory.

As she reached the podium, the audience's cheers faded into a distant hum. Y/N looked out at the sea of faces, each one representing a different story, a different struggle. She had come so far, not just for herself, but for her family and the dreams they had nurtured together. This moment was not just hers; it belonged to them too.

With a small tear prickling at the corner of her eye, she subtly blinked it away, determined to maintain her composure. Y/N took the award, the trophy gleaming under the lights, a testament to her hard work and perseverance.

“Thank you,” she began, her voice steady but filled with emotion. “This award represents not just my journey, but the journeys of all those who strive for their dreams against all odds. Every challenge I faced only strengthened my resolve to succeed, to create opportunities, and to uplift my family.”

As she spoke, memories of her past washed over her—the struggles, the nights she spent alone, the moments of self-doubt, and the sacrifices made along the way. With each word, she honored the past, recognizing how far she had come.

“I owe this to my family, who believed in me when I didn't believe in myself. And to everyone who has supported me, thank you for being part of this journey. I hope to inspire others to chase their dreams relentlessly.”

The crowd erupted into applause once more, but Y/N’s thoughts momentarily drifted back to Jungkook. She wondered where he was now, what he had become. The ache of their past still lingered, a reminder of a love that had shaped her, but she had forged her path, one built on determination and resilience.

As she stepped back from the podium, a mixture of triumph and nostalgia washed over her. She had become a woman of strength, a leader in her own right, yet she couldn’t shake the feeling that something—or someone—was still missing from her life.

The applause faded, and as she turned to leave the stage, she couldn’t help but glance over her shoulder, half-hoping to see a familiar face in the crowd.

As Y/N settled into the backseat of the car, the engine purred to life, and they began their journey home. The city lights blurred by as they sped through the streets, but her gaze remained fixed on the grand facades of her restaurants, each one a testament to her relentless ambition and hard work. The Opal Oasis chain glimmered under the night sky, a beacon of success that she had poured her heart and soul into.

But despite the sparkling exterior, a heavy weight rested in her chest. As she watched the magnificent structures pass by, a small tear rolled down her cheek, trailing down her face like a silent acknowledgment of the sacrifices made along the way. She had envisioned this moment—standing at the pinnacle of her career, recognized as a leader in her field. Yet, here she was, questioning everything.

The journey had been arduous, filled with sleepless nights, endless meetings, and moments of doubt that gnawed at her spirit. Each step toward success had come at a cost. The fruit of her labor should have yielded peace and fulfillment, but instead, she felt an emptiness that resonated deep within her.

"Why?" she whispered to herself, her heart aching with unspoken questions. "Why does it feel like something is missing?"

The success that had once felt like a distant dream now sat heavily in her lap, yet it failed to fill the void that lingered. She had chased this ambition with fervor, driven by a desire to uplift her family and create a life far removed from the struggles of her past. But even with all the accolades and accomplishments, her heart felt strangely barren.

Thoughts of Jungkook crept into her mind, uninvited yet persistent. She remembered the laughter they shared, the way his smile could light up her darkest days. In the whirlwind of her career, she had buried those feelings deep, convincing herself that her path was clear and that love was a distraction she couldn’t afford. Yet now, as she sat in the plush comfort of the car, she couldn’t shake the nagging sensation that love—his love—had been the missing piece all along.

"Is this what I wanted?" she pondered, staring out the window as the world blurred past. "To achieve everything but lose the person who mattered most?"

The question lingered in the air, heavy with emotion. She remembered their last conversation, his words echoing in her mind: "From this moment, I won't come in front of you." The finality of his departure had cut deep, leaving a wound that had yet to heal.

Each success she celebrated felt tainted by the absence of Jungkook, a bittersweet reminder of what she had chosen to sacrifice. Despite the accolades and recognition, she found herself longing for something more—a connection, a love, a sense of belonging that had eluded her.

As they approached her home, she felt a knot tighten in her stomach. It was a beautiful house, a symbol of her hard-earned success, but it felt hollow without the warmth of laughter and the presence of someone who understood her deepest fears and dreams.

The car rolled to a stop, and Y/N took a deep breath, wiping the tears from her cheeks. She stepped out, the chill of the night air biting against her skin. Each step toward the door felt heavy, laden with the weight of her thoughts.

Inside, the quiet was deafening. She closed the door behind her, enveloped in silence that echoed through the spacious rooms. Y/N stood in the dim light, staring into the distance, wondering if she could ever find peace in her accomplishments.

Even with all the success, my heart is still empty.

She whispered the thought to the darkness, wishing for an answer, for a sign that the path she had chosen was the right one. But the only response was the steady ticking of the clock, a reminder that time continued to pass, even as she grappled with the emptiness within.

To be continued....

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Could she ever find her way back to the love she had lost? Was there still a chance for happiness beyond the shadows of ambition?

The journey ahead remained uncertain, but one thing was clear: her heart was still searching for something—someone—to fill the void.

Will her emptiness get filled? or is it too late?

[none-ofthisnonsense]

How are we at Oasis cast SIXTEEN I remember the beginning of casts 12 and 13

[boyneptunee]

we made universes out of bitten lips and broken hands on AO3

50,412 words, 8/13 ongoing, time travel, seer!Harry, tomarry.

Harry was rather tired of letting Fate decide own his Destiny. He would forge his own Future with dried tears and bloodied hands even if it killed him.

The consequences of his Time Travel seemed inconsequential at first, until. Until they stared right back at him with vicious eyes.

Exempt from Chapter 8:

"Disillusion us." Tom didn't question him, and as they made their way between the trees the spell fell over them like a blanket.

They walked down the steps of the bridge, and he could feel the physical change in the air.

The cold grew more bitter, more biting as they walked. The trees appeared normal at first glance, but more and more he noticed the crooked branches leaning towards the path, the lack of leaves and the twisted nature to their trunks. The roots seemed to grow almost violently out of the frozen ground and blocked their path in some places, seemly at random and with a mind of their own.

The Forest seemed to breathe in as one, branches moving with no wind in unison, the ambient magic thick and dark.

He could no longer spot the moon between the trees. It was almost too dark to see even a meter in front of them.

Harry confidently waved between the trees, not hindered by the darkness of the night.

The only sound that reached his ears was the snow giving beneath their boots and Harry's cane occasionally hitting the roots of some trees.

Then, up ahead, the sound of hooves raced through. Hushed voices could be heard through the space between trees. Centaurs.

He tightened his hold on Harry, wishing for a second he had turned them around at the bridge.

Centaurs were unfriendly on a good day and particularly murderous on a bad one. And they were deep in their territory. They would not take kindly to the presence of two Wizards, no matter their age.

Harry kept walking seemly without care, almost dragging Tom along.

"They won't see us, Tom. Just keep walking."

"It isn't them seeing us that worries me, darling." He retorted, blue eyes locked on the line of trees towards their left.

"They are searching for another intruder. They have little time for us. We are but small flies in the big scheme of things right now. Come on." This time Harry grabbed onto his elbow and linked their arms, huddling them close together.

Minutes went by like this.

Finally, Harry stopped and changed paths, down the gentle slope of a hill where branches at either side of the path met in the middle and opened up a natural tunnel leading down.

The tunnel opened to a another part of the forest.

The spot was filled with small fireflies flying about. The snow gave away to green grass and moss, and in a few patches flowers of different colours grew proudly in the humid soil.

The magic in the forest suddenly felt gentle. Caring. More pure than it had before. A small oasis in the middle of the dark.

The forest floor seemed to be illuminated from within, green and yellow colours shone bright like a blanket over the space between trees.

It looked like winter hadn't had the chance to touch this part of the forest. Not ever, perhaps.

The more they ventured in, waking through trees and moss and bushes, the more some things started to become apparent.

This seemed to be a frecuently visited place in the Forest. Be it for humans or creatures, Tom couldn't say for sure.

Lanterns had been placed by the foot of the path, lit by an ever lasting flame that cast a bright orange light on their way.

Stone steps led in and out of what seemed to be a small clearing. Small, yes, but big enough for the moonlight to shine right through the canopy of trees above.

Between the old pine trees a different figure appeared. It too seemed to be glowing from within, filled to the brim with magic giving off a bright orange light that illuminated the whole clearing and above, with twisted crooked branches that reached towards the moon. The oak tree stood mostly alone, hanging onto a small cliff edge where it's roots had taken home. Lanterns of all shapes and sizes hanged from it's branches, accompanied by small paper charms that had clearly seen better days. Fireflies danced around, bouncing up and down and around.

Tom Riddle was entranced.

He was breathing in the purest, most beautiful magic he had ever had the chance to feel. It was terribly intoxicating, like drinking an entire bottle of firewhiskey in one gulp and hoping for the best outcome. It was dizzying.

Harry brought them closer to the tree, seemly unaware his companion had been lost and magic drunk to the feeling of sheer power congregated in the clearing.

The green eyed boy let go of his arm, still invisible to each other, before bringing his hands to his shoulders and up his neck. Tom could feel him standing close to him, even if he couldn't see him, he could feel the solid press of his body, the warm breath that brushed his face.

Finally, Harry brought both hands to his neck and urged him down.

Kissing Harry while not being able to see him sounded like a rather difficult feat to accomplish. It was not.

They found each other in the middle, in a tangle of magic and light and the overwhelming feeling of calmness.

They kissed slowly, without rush. They didn't have anywhere they needed to be, anyone they needed to heed to. They just had each other, at that moment.

Tom took a gamble and bit the other boy's lip, and swallowed the gasp that followed.

His concentration on the spell keeping them invisible wavered, before it fell at their feet in a cascade lights.

Their magic mingled together around them in a tune only known to them, soaking in the sorrounding ambient magic and light like a vortex.

The fireflies seemed to agree with the dance, and soon enough the little insects had surrounded them in a show of lights and colours, bouncing in circles.

Looking at Harry's green, green eyes, a tan face framed by white curls illuminated by the magic surrounding them, he couldn't imagine any other place he would rather be.

Their noses brushed together for a moment before their foreheads touched. Tom reached his arms around Harry's waist, bringing him closer still.

He was cold to the touch, as was usual of him. His eyes looked bright, more awake and present than he had been in the past few days. Freakles shone bright in the moonlight, little constellations of their own maping their way across a gentle face. Even his eyelashes had lost their battle against color and turned white.

Tom sighed, content.

He leaned in to kiss him again. And again.

(And again.)

He was the prettiest creature made of Magic in the whole forest. In the whole world, he was sure.

Dark Shadows was an American gothic soap opera that aired weekdays on the ABC television network, from June 27, 1966, to April 2, 1971. The show depicted the lives of the wealthy Collins family of Collinsport, Maine, where a series of supernatural occurrences take place.

Dark Shadows became popular when vampire Barnabas Collins played by actor Jonathan Frid was introduced ten months into its run. It would also feature ghosts, werewolves, zombies, man-made monsters, witches, warlocks, time travel, and a parallel universe. A small troupe of actors each played many roles; as actors came and went, some characters were played by more than one actor. The show was distinguished by its melodramatic performances, atmospheric set designs, unusual storylines, numerous plot twists, adventurous music score, broad range of characters, and heroic adventures. Dark Shadows developed a large teenage audience and a dedicated cult following. By 1969, it had become ABC’s highest-rated daytime series with viewership in the millions!

The original network run of the show amassed 1,225 episodes. The success of the series spawned a media franchise that has included two feature films (House of Dark Shadows in 1970 and Night of Dark Shadows in 1971), a 1991 TV remake, a 2012 film reboot directed by Tim Burton, and numerous spin-off novels and comics. Kathryn Leigh Scott has narrated all 27 vintage Dark Shadows novels by Marilyn Ross for Oasis Audiobooks, available on Amazon.com.

Dramas for the first half of 2023

Now that we are six months into 2023, time to do one of these posts. I am gonna include both Korean and Chinese dramas, because why not and any drama I even checked out is on it.

DRAMAS WATCHED

29. Romance of Twin Flower  (China) - make it cease existing! My favorite het web novel got murdered and then had its grave spat on.

28. Dominator of Martial Gods  (China) - if MST3K still existed, this drama would be prime material for it.

27. Wanru’s Journey  (China) - acting. Try it!

26. Royal Rumors  (China) - they tried acting. But forgot to try having a functional screenplay on top.

25. The Last Princess  (China) - acting is nonexistent and the story is trash but it never aspired to be what it wasn’t and was kinda cute.

24. Oasis  (Korea) - great acting in a story with a screenplay that goes round and round fruitlessly like a hamster in a cage.

23. The Trust  (China) - the OTP in this one swaps bodies but it would have been better for everyone if whoever made this and an actual competent writer swapped theirs.

22. Snow Eagle Lord  (China) - yet another drama in which Xu Kai does his best to keep acting opposite a wooden costar and through a terrible screenplay. There is something seriously wrong with that man’s career choices.

21. Heartbeat  (Korea) - the good: it’s harmless. The bad: it’s harmless.

20. Back from the Brink  (China) - ummm the people are pretty? And if I were 10 I’d be all about this show but as is...

19. Joseon Attorney  (Korea) - slightly less fun than reading a legal treatise.

18. The Starry Love  (China) - the definition of a xianxia playing it safe and pastel; I did love the secondary couple a lot but it was not enough to save that snoozefest of a drama.

17. Chong Zi  (China) - badly acted and a screenplay that somehow manages to be both repetitive and disjointed. But I am a sucker for the shizunfucker trope so here we are.

16. Island  (Korea) - a mess but Kim Nam Gil is hot with a sword.

15. Circle of Love  (China) - rationally, a hot mess. But so entertaining and addicting and fall of make outs of epicness!

14. Lady Durian  (Korea) - makjang from the Queen of Makjang and with that scrumptious cast! This is gonna be GOOD!

13. The Forbidden Marriage  (Korea) - sweet and oddly charming despite nobody in it bothering to act much.

12. Pledge of Allegiance  (China) - the way they had to edit it likely due to censorship made it less than it what could have been but still more than most dramas this year.

11. Choice Husband (China) - delicious cliches and tropes and angst in the rain!

10. Hidden Love  (China) - to make ME of all people to care about a fluffy modern is a bona fide miracle but the two mains are chemistry machines who portray longing so well.

9. Gone with the Rain  (China) - wildly uneven but our heroine and the sexy general she eventually chooses are pure gold!

8. The Secret Romantic Guest House (Korea) - how to do youth sageuk right. Everything about this just works!

7. Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow  (Korea) - it has flaws but is so gorgeous and full of longing and grief and everything good!

6. Tale of the Nine Tailed 1938  (Korea) - a sequel/prequel that is almost as good as the original, how often does that happen?

5. See You In My 19th Life  (Korea) - wacky and grieving, delicate and odd, this is everything I ever want in a kdrama.

4. Call It Love  (Korea) - a truly exquisite story of trauma and loneliness and healing and love.

3. Till the End of the Moon  (China) - gloriously messy in every way this is just MORE. The ending is enraging and there are issues but when it hits, it hits so hard the rest of it does not matter - the dark characters, the dysfunctional love story, the battles, the insane visuals, the EVERYTHING of it. This is what fantasy should be like.

2. Chang Feng Du/Destined  (China) - came out of nowhere to own my heart via its story of growing up and finding love and slow organic relationship building and keeping your soul in a world of horrors.

1. The Ingenuous One  (China) - the best one, so I am gonna talk about it below.

FAVORITE DRAMA

The Ingenuous One - so impossibly solid, from acting to visuals to screenplay to EVERYTHING! Adult characters with adult issues and choices, both moral dilemmas and battles equally compelling. The love stories, the friendships, the shades of grey. This is utterly and completely adult.

WORST DRAMA

Romance of the Twin Flower - if I could make one drama cease to exist, this would be it.

FAVORITE MALE CHARACTER

Tantai Jin, Till The End of the Moon - the best character this year hands down - by turns (and timelines) unhinged monster, a contained saint, a victim of abuse trying to attain being viewed as human, a schemer, a ruler, grief personified, curiosity and monstrosity and nobility all mingled.

Runner up: Jang Uk, Alchemy of Souls - sunshine boy gone dark and grieving, but still with that same core of steel.

FAVORITE FEMALE CHARACTER

Shim Woo Joo, Call It Love - she’s damaged and impulsive and relationship-phobic and revenge driven and glorious!

Runner Up:  Shu Ya Nan (The Ingenuous One) - allowed to be tough and dark and with her own agenda and not a member of a good sect and just so cool.

NEEDS TO BE MURDERED

Han Dong Jin’s Mom, Call It Love - that woman was horrifying and the source of so much of his trauma; a real realistic monster petty in all ways except for the damage she inflicted.

FAVORITE SHIP

Gu Jiusi/Liu Yuru, Chang Feng Du - wholesome and helping each other grow and talking it out but also there is blood feeding and midnight rescues and everything. They are good but not in the least boring.

Runner Up: Woo Joo/Dong Jin, Call It Love - two wounded souls finding such slow but such amazing healing with each other.

FAVORITE SECONDARY OTP

Su Ming Yu/Ke Menglan, The Ingenuous One - there’s actually been a lot of good secondary OTPs this year (General x Fox in TTEOTM, Investigator x Princess, TIO, Rang/Mermaid, TOTNT1938) but these two owned my heart - gentleman merchant x gambling hostess ftw.

NOTP

Romance of Twin Flower - they took my favorite het novel OTP, smart and coldblooded and forces of nature and turned them into THAT?

SHIRTLESSNESS AWARD

Xiao Hong Ye, Circle of Love - guy was a terrible abuser but those pecs were the real sin!

CRAZIEST FUNFEST

Circle of Love - screenplay written by rabid monkeys and populated by a bunch of psychos but such ridiculous, irresistible fun!

FAVORITE SCENE

Tantai Jin confronting Li Susu in jail, Till the End of the Moon - the energy, the intensity, the darkness the EVERYTHING.

BIGGEST CRUSH

Li Gong Quan, The Ingenuous One - yeah whatever, I realize he’s a minor character but I loved him so much! The whole having to bring down your benefactor who’s gone evil tho you are in love with his daughter should have been a whole other drama!

BEST SCENE STEALER CHARACTER

Chen Wende, Gone with the Rain - most of this drama is not that exciting but whenever his King of Trolls hot general shows up, I sit up and pay attention. I am 35 eps deep because of him.

NEEDS A SEQUEL

The Ingenuous One - I am dying to see what happens to royal investigator and supposedly dead princess, how our OTP will travel the world, the merchant and his lady, Ten Taels and his orphans and his girl and just everything. I loved these people so!

NEEDS A DIRECTOR’S CUT

Till the End of the Moon - it was clear they cut a BUNCH in the last third to fit the ridiculous new “40 eps or bust” rule and it would flow so much more smoothly if it was allowed to breathe.

NEEDS SCISSORS TAKEN TO IT

Romance of Twin Flower - it should have been shredded into nonexistence sorry not sorry.

TOO MANY SCISSORS TAKEN TO IT

Pledge of Allegiance - this drama was good but had gaping lacunae where too many scissors were taken to it for censorship reasons; I am surprised even what’s left was allowed to air tbh but still...

TROPE THAT NEEDS TO DIE

Shrill = cute - I see it every year, I hate it every year.

FAVORITE TROPE WE’VE SEEN A LOT OF

Hot Men Whump - come one, TTEOTM alone would fill the quota but we also had CFD, Call It Love, See You in my 19th life etc etc.

BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT

Back from the Brink - it’s based on a novel by an author whose other novels (Zhao Yao, Blue Whispers, Mulberry Song) I adore and the novelist was the screenwriter so I was so excited. But it was a juvenile, flat mess that de-powered the heroine and taught me that yeah, sometimes the writer should not adopt their work.

BIGGEST GOOD SURPRISE

Chang Feng Du - I loved the novel but the trailers were a fluffy bland disaster and I checked it out with zero expectations. However, this is a glorious adaptation, a lesson in how to transport a massive novel on screen into slim 40 eps and to account for changes in medium and stricter censorship restrictions for dramas versus books while keeping the essential vibe of the original.

BEST NON-2023 DRAMA I’VE WATCHED IN 2023

The Imperial Doctress (China) - the pining the pining by the Hot Emperor! This is like all my web novel dreams come true!

MOST ANTICIPATED

A Journey to Love/Prisoner of Beauty/My Journey to You/Kunning Palace - maybe one of them will air before the world ends.
