Marked me like a bloodstain || the dangerous ones edition + some additionals

Synopsis: drawing something on them

Warnings: if you are in a relationship where you are scared of your own significant other, leave the relationship already before it becomes more difficult. A romantic relationship must have mutual respect, trust, comfort and security with one another, it is not always about the butterflies and blushing.

The Way To Protect The Female Lead's Older Brother

Dion Agriche

🦋 You decided to do this for no apparent reason. Or you just wanted a reaction from him.

🦋 You asked Dion for him to hand you his arm, he stared at you first as if questioning you why... now you really started to regret asking as his sharp gaze was rather uncomfortable.

🦋 Before you could retract your request, Dion reach his hand out to you without a word, indicating that you may do as you please. It took you awhile to process his action but you chirpily did as you initially planned. Using the pen against his skin.

🦋 You proudly showed him your artwork and explained it to him knowing that he definitely does not understand it. He just nodded then ruffled your hair before leaving. Now you're left wondering if this was even worth it at all.

🦋 Meanwhile outside the door, Dion stares at the doodle you did on his palm. It felt weird having the pen's ink on his skin though it did no much harm on him except painting some part of his skin black, he certainly won't use a pen as a weapon as he deems it useless.

The Way To Protect The Female Lead's Older Brother

Jeremy Agriche

🦋 "You will do anything for me, right?" You asked your boyfriend and he nodded vigorously.

🦋 You asked him to sit still and closed his eyes and Remy followed you obediently. He could feel something poking on his cheek that seems to have a liquid substance but he didn't dare peek as you haven't told him to open his eyes and he trust you with his life.

🦋 After you completed your drawing, you let him open his eyes and you pass him the hand mirror so he could see it. Jeremy's eyes widen as he sees what you have done, he takes a close inspection of it.

🦋 You're growing anxious and scared, had you crossed Remy's invisible line? You had always been free to do as you please with him as he allows you too that you forgot about boundaries. But before you knew it, he tackles you with a tight hug and started showering you with kisses, he tells you to do it again. After both of you are satisfied, you ruffled his hair as you professed your love for him, grateful that he still allows you to do things.

🦋 Remy won't mind whatever you want to do with him as long as you do it within the confines of his safe and private room.

The Villainess Is A Marionette

Rezef Hill

"Prince of Eldyme Empire"

🦋 You've been so bored out of you mind these past few days, you can't talk to anyone unless you want them to be gone, your servant's changes almost everyday depending on their loyalty to their master, whom is your partner, Prince Rezef.

🦋 Kayena does visit you at times to keep your sanity intact but not for too long, for some reason Prince Rezef just knows when to interrupt.

🦋 Since you pretty much have no one but him then he should be your target right? He doesn't want you to rely on anyone but him then so be it.

🦋 You ordered your current personal attendant to call for him, after a few Rezef finally came and told the servant to leave you alone. He then sat down beside you and asks why you called for him, you told him that you wanted to spend some time with him and asked him to give you his hand and he didn't hesitate, glad with your willingness and obedience.

🦋 He was quite amused when you started drawing on his palm. He knew you like art so much, maybe he should give you an art room as a reward for reciprocating his love. After you finished, you gave him a kiss on the cheek and thank him for his cooperation, you tried to be as lovely as you could with him to avoid upsetting him and might get yourself killed

🦋 He gave you that prince charming smile again and told you: "Anything for my princess." As he kisses your cheek too.

I Tamed A Tyrant And Ran Away/ The Taming Of The Tyrant

Dylan Sean Blade

"The 13th Prince"

🦋 Dylan had receive losses in his life, first his mother, next his master, and now he obviously won't allow the same with you.

🦋 As the ink of the quill pen that you are holding spread across his skin, it reminds him that you are still there. As your warm hand holds his arm to keep him steady, it assures him that you are a real existence and not just a fragment of hallucination of his fever dream.

🦋 Soon you completed your work, Dylan kissed your palm that once held the quill pen previously. He swore to you in his heart, anything you wish upon, just order him at your will and he is eternally at your service. That is if you reciprocate the same loyalty to him.

🦋 He'll do anything you say as long as you stay and don't run away.

ଘ・┈┈・✧・┈┈・✦・┈┈・✧・┈┈・✦

Your Throne/ I Want To Be You, Just For A Day

Eros Orna Vasilios

"Crown Prince of the Vasilios Empire"

🦋 As the assistant of the Crown Prince, it was customary that you will meet other people, yet however, the Crown Prince seem to disagree. For some odd reason he likes to keep you to himself, he normally doesn't allow you to meet other people, which you're actually glad about as you don't like to socialize anyways.

🦋 Today is unfortunately an exception, you are forced to be a part of a meeting. You know it's going to involve a lot of people but you didn't expect it to be this many. Your social anxiety is getting the best of you, you're really really trying your best to seem normal as possible. Still, you can't help it when you fidget.

🦋 You subconsciously started swinging the pen that is in between your thumb and index finger. You didn't notice that the point touches the Crown Prince skin as you swing it.

🦋 Eros suddenly grabbed your hand, forcing you to a stop. You flinch at the sudden contact (hopefully no one noticed), you turn to look at the Crown Prince beside you. He put the meeting to a halt and asked everyone to scram.

🦋 After all others had left, he turned to you, his hand still holding yours while his other hand held your jaw. His gaze on you was so sharp and intimidating you couldn't face him at all so instead you looked down and there you saw what you had done.

🦋 Your nervousness and shock was completely visible to Eros who laughed at the sight. It wasn't helpful at all, you know what kind of person your boss is and it made you feel scared of him, already overthinking of what may happen to you, yet Eros only calmly stood up from his seat and held your jaw stronger, making you look up at him.

🦋 He merely told you to calm yourself first before you return to his office. With that, he patted your head before leaving you alone with your thoughts.

Death Is The Only Ending For The Villainess/ Villains Are Destined To Die

Callisto Regulus

"Crown Prince of the Eorka Empire"

🦋 Since you had nothing to do, you decided to go annoy your partner. As you arrive in his office, you just slam open the door and there, revealed your peacefully sleeping partner resting on his table with his arms as his pillow.

🦋 But you weren't just gonna stop there just because he is sleeping. After closing the door, you approach the table Callisto is sleeping at. Your eyes comes across the pen that lays beside him.

🦋 Grinning evilly, you pick up the pen and started doodling on Callisto's face. After some time, you notice his brows furrowing, indicating that he was going to fully awake soon, so you place back the pen from where you found it to avoid suspicion and skedaddled before you get caught.

🦋 Callisto stretched his arms that he used as his pillow. Finally getting the motivation, he stood up from his seat and decided to walk around a bit, as he walked past a mirror he noticed something and stopped on his tracks, he walks back to the mirror and saw his face now covered with doodles.

🦋 There is only one person that he allows to enter in his office without needing permission nor knocking and that person is most certainly the culprit of this. But he needs to wash his face first.

🦋 Callisto finally found the culprit, reading a book at the library as if they hadn't done nothing at all. A dark shadow looms over you thus you couldn't read properly anymore, you were going to scold whoever it was yet it turned out to only be your partner, Callisto, who was smiling back at you.

🦋 I suggest you sleep with one eye open tonight, he warned, and you were obviously gonna take this advice as you know very well what was gonna happen on your beauty sleep.

Trash Of The Count's Family/ Lout Of Count's Family

Original! Cale Henituse

🦋 You and Cale have known since you were just little kids, you two had grown with such a strong friendship, you both were unseparable and unbreakable.

🦋 Lately you've been noticing that things have been a little different between you and your great friend. You both had barely spend time with each other not even trying to check up on the other. You've been busy with your duties as the heir of your family, and Cale busy doing his own stuff. Even when you both happen to cross paths with each other, he acts as though he doesn't notice you at all. Today however, he couldn't turn around anymore.

🦋 You were sitting on the tree you and Cale had claimed as your own, accompanied with leaves dancing with the wind as you compose poems on your newly-bought notebook yet you feel so uninspired. Your heart couldn't help but feel restless as you began to comprehend the growing distance between you and Cale.

🦋 Had you done or said something insensitive to him without realizing? No that couldn't be possible, you're aware of topics that are deemed taboo to Cale. Is it because you haven't spend a spare time with him? But Cale is knows how you are busy with your duties and you did promised to him that if you had the chance, you'd take a day off with him. Is it because you hadn't checked up on him? You know how reckless he can be yet miraculously he can still stand on his own two feet. You trust him a lot to know that he'll be fine though you still feel worried about him everytime.

🦋 And speaking of the devil, there he is, standing beside you with wide eyes as he didn't expect to face you today. You grab his legs and forcedly plop him down beside before he could run off, you are on top of him with your hands on either side of his head to avoid him from escaping. While you are determined to bring back the bond you both once shared, Cale's face is almost of the same color of his hair, he is extremely flustered from the position you're both in, if anyone could see this they would surely misunderstand.

🦋 You confronted Cale and he explained to you that he just didn't want to bother you at all, you sighed in relief, you thought you had done something wrong to him. You moved back to the place you were originally sitting as Cale finally gets to sit down properly.

🦋 You fiddled with the pen you were holding, then suddenly you remembered a memory from your childhood with Cale. You indicate to Cale for him to give you his hand and he did, wondering what you were gonna do but didn't dare ask. You started doodling on his wrist, a stickman and a stickwoman both holding ice creams.

🦋 "Is this–hmm... is this suppose to be us?" Cale guessed, you nodded cheerfully then asked him if he still remembered that day, and he cracked in a fit of laughter remembering that time you both tasted ice cream for the very first time, your reaction was most amusing.

🦋 The sun had already set to let the moon shine for the night, yet none of you bothered as you and Cale were too busy remembering memories you both share since your childhood up until now.

🦋 Who would have thought that happiness can be cut short that easily. Those laughter that you should cherish fades into mere memories. It was only yesterday but today is a new day, and new day can come new beginnings.

🦋 You didn't expect that your friend who just came back to normal, is not him. Your friend you've had a strong bond with, is not him anymore. Your friend you grown to love, will never be him. But is it really over just like this?

🦋 Same bodies but different souls. Can you really not be happy with him anymore? Are you really gonna lose this friendship? Could there really be no bond that may form at all? Is it really impossible to fall in love with the new him as he is? Or will you still cling to the hope for him to return as he was?

[cult-of-the-eye]

@itisonlyeyes your henna design has made me think about jmart south Asian wedding and I'm Not Ok

Jon in a beautifully gorgeous deep green, bedazzled kurta/lehenga hybrid so like slightly more masculine kurta with some small, neat embroidery on the edges with a flowy huge lehenga skirt

He didn't go for the dupatta/orna/scarf cause hes still not great with potential restrictions of movement

He's all decked out in the bridal jewellery - my man is wearing the Biggest silver earrings, he's got the massive fake nose piercing that connects to his hair and hes SLAYING. (Maybe his grandma passed them down??)

You bet he's got that brooding bridal look down!! Although he sees Martin and he cannot keep it up for the life of him he's just a smiling mess

There's no loud music. (I know I'm sorry but it's them, the music is simple and meaningful and the guest list is small so its not quite the usual south Asian wedding but they enjoy themselves)

Martin is dressed very smartly in a light blue kurta, with billowing embroidery etching it's down up the kurta's sleeves and following in henna down his hands

He'd wearing light blue nail polish to match and his hair is dyed the same colour at the edges

I like the idea of Jon and martin sitting down and talking about what they wanted and coming up with the rituals not cause of the religious or cultural significance but because of what it meant to them specifically.

Like they do vows cause Martin has always loved that part of weddings and let's be honest, he just wants a chance to say nice things about Jon without him protesting and Jon agrees cause of literally the same reason (they're not good at compliments)

They do the turns around the fire but they hold hands instead of being tied to each other cause they feel like it represents how they chose each other and they do 15 turns cause it's Martin's lucky number (they first met on the 15th October 2015)

They skip the haldi cause sensory issues

They instead get everyone to make their own flower garlands and give them to each other and obviously Jon and Martin make each others flower garlands and Jon mostly agrees to it cause Martin seemed enthusiastic about it and he did want to keep the giving each other flower garland ritual but he gets the Most Excited about it in the end cause hes super detail oriented about his, making sure each flower is specifically positioned how he wants it to and Martin's going off just vibes. They must be the correct vibes but vibes nonetheless.

I love the idea of doing the bride's side has to steal the grooms shoes and the grooms side has to stop this from happening so we can get Shenanigans (Tim is the most intense about this. Gerry comes a close second. Sasha wins though.)

There aren't so much sides, cause everyone's friends with both, which makes the shoe game even more intense cause you never know when people will swap sides.

Gerry does their henna. He just gives off good at drawing vibes I dunno.

[nerdstify]

Idk if it would be fun but like Noelle side by side the normal route one( prob in regular clothes idk) and the weird route (like her outfit but more icy, snowflakes maybe, icicles?) , orna triple Noelle like the idea from last sentence but real world Noelle( in like a Christmas sweater and all that) is in the middle, like that probably exists somewhere to show that she could go down two different paths, but ngl the composition would probably change if real world Noelle was in the middle, so much ways to do it ig or maybe it's just me

it WOULD be fun and it WAS and i also think im finally finding a style to draw backgrounds with lol. very proud of this i have been drawing it for nearly 18 days (more effort than i usually put in)

[sillypuppybarks]

Yo send me some of your characters oc refs because I wanna draw them :3 it can be a doodle orna full blown drawing I'll take up to 5mcats in one picture just please give me cats

FFXIVWrite Day #10: Stable

A continuation of the previous discussion between Vrjn and Orion. A remote site, far out from civilization.

"Call out your avatar, now." Orion growls flatly to Vrjn. Having since long proven she's out of her depths, she complies by using her scythe to rip a gash between worlds from thin air, a dark presence's threatening gaze piercing through the veil. Out stretches a sharp, hideous claw as the avatar crawls out of the rift, finding itself wrapped around Vrjn, coddling her threateningly.

"Vrjn... is it time for a feast? I hunger... and this tasty little snack in front of me looks absolutely delightful..."

"N-no, this is-" Vrjn starts before the hairs on the back of her neck start to stand upright as she feels a shift in the air, watching the aether around her start to draw towards a staff in the hands of Orion, the greenery slowly fading to a brown, lifeless husk.

"Close your eyes! Now!" Orion shouts, giving Vrjn just enough of a warning before the aether erupts into a bright light, a tingling surge rippling up her spine as the avatar releases her with a shriek. "You vile existence, this is your singular warning. Amdapori teachings are far from extinct, and if you dare to give in to your greed, I will end you." Vrjn trembled where she stood, all too familiar with the transgressions that just took place. Finding a clearing, far away from the city-states made all too much sense. Orion was no simple conjurer, this was forbidden white magics that she's only read of in books.

"Keheheheh, my little Vrjn keeps potent company. I'll allow you the idea of having the upper hand in this contract, and will play my part in our bargain. Vrjn..." The avatar wraps her in its embrace again. "I'll give you all the power you desire, just keep me fed, as promised. If I need to use you to sate my needs, just know this little charade has done little more than show off a fine delicacy." Vrjn trembles, but nods along to the avatar's words, and upon acknowledgment, the avatar dissipates around her.

"Orna... I really screwed up, didn't I?" Vrjn eeks out, trembling as she falls to her knees. Quietly, one step at a time, Orion makes their way to her side, resting a hand on her shoulder.

"That you did, but we can't rest easy, moving forward. Never let the voidsent go hungry. You will never live a stable life with this contract over your shoulder. You must reap what you've sown, and make certain your contract is in good standing for as long as you live." Orion let's out a sigh as they drop to their knees, embracing her from behind. "My little Vrjn, poor little Vrjn... None of us will have the luxury of a normal life, will we?"

Vrjn's eyes start to water as she begins to weep, clutching at Orion's arm for comfort. The two remain there for a moment, wallowing in the misfortune befallen the young Rava, before setting off, back toward home.

How to Preserve Flowers

Floral beauty is fleeting, but it can be preserved with the right methods. From air drying to glycerin preservation, this guide will cover a variety of ways to keep flowers looking beautiful for years to come.

Dried and preserved flowers are perfect for weddings, anniversaries and other special occasions. They also offer a unique touch to commercial and hospitality spaces.

Air Drying

Whether you want to create wreaths, long-lasting bouquets or decorate your home with Preserved flowers that have the look of vintage blooms, air drying is an easy and inexpensive way to preserve them. The process involves wrapping small bunches of flowers tightly in twine or ribbon and hanging them upside down in a dark, dry, wellventilated space. Choose sturdy, mature flowers that are just beginning to open, and avoid tying together those with spongy petals or those that have already lost most of their color.

For a faster version of this method, cover the blossoms in a silica gel desiccant that can be purchased at craft stores. The granular gel is reusable and works just like sand, and it draws the moisture out of your flowers as they dry, preventing mold.

Freeze-Drying

Freeze drying is a popular method of preservation, especially for wedding bouquets. This is because it retains the shape and color of the flowers, making them look almost identical to their original state. It is also a very quick process, and results in a very high quality end product.

The process, known as lyophilization, freezes the product at extremely low temperatures. This allows the solid water to be turned into a vapor without passing through the liquid phase, which prevents unwanted chemical reactions. The result is a very high quality, heat-sensitive product that maintains structure and nutrient content with minimal loss of aroma and flavor (Trinklein, 2006).

It is a very complicated process that requires the right equipment, which Austin Preservations has invested in. The flower is loaded into the freezer, and then a vacuum pump pulls the air out of the chamber, freezing the flower. This is a process that takes over 10 days, and the flowers are checked regularly to ensure they are frozen through.

Glycerin Preserving

Glycerin is the most popular method for preserving flowers. It is especially well suited to flowers like roses and daisies, but also hydrangeas, and other flower types that retain color and shape after preservation. It is also an excellent way to preserve leaves from trees and shrubs in your garden, such as nandina, ivy, camellias, 'Little Gem' magnolia and Carolina cherry laurel.

To glycerin preserve your flowers, fill a container with one part vegetable glycerin and two parts water. Crush the bottom of your plant material (leaves, stems or flowers) to encourage uptake and arrange them in the liquid without overcrowding. Keep the plants in the glycerin solution until you can feel a waxy or oily residue on the tips of the leaves; this indicates that the glycerin has been fully absorbed. The plant should then be stored in a cool, dark place out of direct sunlight until ready to use. This typically takes about a week to three weeks.

Other Methods

While air drying is the most common method for Preserved flowers in Liverpool, it’s not the only option. Pressing, drying in the oven, and even using resin to preserve flowers can all be effective means of locking in your favourite blooms.

Resin is a popular choice for preserving flowers and can be found at craft stores. It’s important to wear rubber gloves and a face covering when handling resin, as it is a potent chemical with harmful side effects.

To use this technique, you will need to gather your favourite flowers and a large container. Fill the bottom of the container with silica gel and then add your flowers, gently pressing them down on top to cover them completely. Allow the flowers to sit for a few days. Once they have fully dried, they can be used for various projects like floral ornaments and mugs. They also make great gifts. Because they last so long, they leave a lasting impression that shows you cared enough to invest your time and money into them.

KHOC Week 2023 Day 3: Friends or Lovers

(AKA my chance to shamelessly ramble about my ship for @khoc-week)

Yui spent much of her life keeping other people at arm’s length and didn’t really have close friends. Being treated as a liability at best and a monster at worst made her feel as if she was undeserving of love, and with echoes of another life’s tragedy playing over and over again in her head, she became scared to lose the things she cared about.

So what a surprise it was when Yui’s strongest bond outside of her siblings became the one she shares with Aqua. The two spent a short time in the realm of darkness surviving together, though Aqua was initially suspicious of Yui due to her darkness-aligned nature and unnatural abilities. They eventually came to look out for each other and learn about the loved ones the other had been separated from. During that time Yui began to both admire and envy Aqua’s steadfastness and faith, to the point where Yui was willing to do whatever it took to get Aqua back to the realm of light—even though Yui herself secretly planned to stay behind in the darkness where she felt she belonged.

Of course Aqua wasn’t willing to let her do that, so she (along with Yui’s stubborn little sister Hikaru) went to drag Yui out and make sure she knew people cared about her. Yui was touched by the realization and grateful for the second chance. Once she was back in the realm of light, she became a treasured confidant and a source of support for Aqua as the latter readjusted to being back around people after so long. The two became even closer, and the night before the confrontation at the Keyblade graveyard, Yui kissed her—an action that surprised and flustered Aqua, but one that she reciprocated.

Of course everything had to be put on hold until after battles were over, and even then there's so much that needs to be done in the aftermath of Keyblade graveyard, but at least once things settle down the two of them get some time to relax with each other. I even had some pictures commissioned of those moments! :D

(Above: this lovely picture of Yui and Aqua hanging out at Yui's Twilight Town flat is by @hinataoc, I adore all the details she put into it to make things cozy)

(Above: this amazing picture by @amyhayanora captures one of their favorite hobbies to do together, dancing! I love the pose and the lighting, like a moment captured in time)

Overall they’re a sweet couple, supportive of each other and protective and fiercely loyal. They're my self-indulgent ship for this fic universe and they mean a lot to me.
