Elevate Your Space with Moody Floral Style Home

Moody floral style is a captivating interior design trend that blends dark, dramatic hues with bold floral patterns to create a sophisticated yet cozy ambiance. This style captures the essence of romanticism and nature while exuding an artistic and modern vibe. Whether you’re looking to revamp your living room, bedroom, or any other part of your home, embracing moody floral elements can transform your space into a visual masterpiece. Here’s how to elevate your space with this enchanting style.

1. Choose a Dark Color Palette

At the core of moody floral design is a rich, dark color scheme. Think deep blues, charcoal greys, forest greens, and burgundy hues. These colors set the stage for creating a dramatic yet inviting atmosphere. Use these tones on walls, furniture, or as accents to build a strong foundation for the floral elements.

2. Incorporate Bold Floral Wallpapers

Floral wallpapers with dark backgrounds are a hallmark of the moody floral style. Opt for designs that feature oversized blooms in vibrant colors against a deep backdrop. Wallpaper an entire room for maximum impact or create an accent wall to add a striking focal point.

3. Layer Textures for Depth

Achieving a moody floral aesthetic isn’t just about patterns—it’s also about texture. Combine soft velvet cushions, plush rugs, and silky drapes with sturdy wooden furniture and metallic accents. The juxtaposition of textures adds warmth and depth to the space.

4. Focus on Statement Artwork

Large floral art pieces can make a bold statement in any room. Choose paintings or prints featuring dramatic floral arrangements with dark, moody tones. Frame them in elegant, minimal frames to keep the focus on the artwork.

5. Bring in Floral Textiles

Incorporate floral patterns through textiles such as throw pillows, bedding, and curtains. Look for designs that feature deep, rich hues and intricate floral details. These elements will tie the entire look together while adding comfort to the space.

6. Mix Modern and Vintage Elements

A blend of modern and vintage furniture works beautifully with the moody floral style. Pair a sleek contemporary sofa with a vintage wooden coffee table or an antique armchair upholstered in floral fabric. The mix creates a balanced and visually interesting space.

7. Embrace Natural Lighting and Layered Lighting

While the color palette may be dark, natural lighting can help balance the ambiance. Keep windows unobstructed to let in daylight. In the evenings, use layered lighting with table lamps, wall sconces, and chandeliers to create a warm and inviting glow.

8. Add Greenery for a Fresh Touch

Complement the floral theme with real or faux greenery. Plants like ferns, monstera, and trailing vines add a touch of nature and contrast beautifully against the dark, moody backdrop.

9. Personalize with Accessories

Incorporate personal touches such as vintage vases, ornate candle holders, and unique decorative objects. These accessories enhance the moody floral aesthetic and reflect your personality.

10. Keep the Balance Right

To prevent the space from feeling overwhelming, balance the dramatic floral elements with neutral tones and minimalist decor. This ensures the space remains elegant and inviting rather than chaotic.

Final Thoughts

Moody floral style is all about creating a harmonious blend of drama, elegance, and natural beauty. By thoughtfully incorporating dark hues, bold patterns, and layered textures, you can elevate your space into a stylish haven that exudes charm and sophistication. Embrace this trend and watch your home transform into a work of art.

I am in so much pain.

It's probably temporary but by which I mean "I should have an hour or so of complete relief Tuesday when they do a medial branch block" and if that works for an hour, they will follow it up in an unspecified amount of time with a nerve ablation.

You see, my spine is falling apart. On approximately six levels I have foraminal stenosis, disks bulging or slipped, and substantial spinal arthritis. Also bone spurs. None of those locations include the place where my spine takes a random hitch in what my doctor calls "mild scoliosis" and which I call "what the hell it's not supposed to bend like that and also I'm 52 and no one ever told me shit about scoliosis and I know they looked."

Anyway the cervical segments manifest in migraines sometimes and if I don't use a travel pillow to keep my shoulders off my ears when I side sleep my arms start to have Issues. But those are okay right now.

The problem now is in my lumbar and sacrum, where Something Has Gone Wrong and there are multiple nerves getting pinched and thus I have shooting pains, pins and needles and electric shock sensations down my left leg most of the time and my right leg occasionally.

My baseline chronic pain used to be a 3-4.

It's now 7 on a good day.

I also have me/cfs, and i cannot adequately express to you how fundamentally draining it is to hurt all the time.

Because I'm having a procedure tomorrow, I'm off my supplements. No turmeric extract, which is a startlingly heavy lifter in the inflammation department.

No fish oil, which seems to increase my coping ability.

And I haven't been able to take naproxen, which is a rare breakthrough med for me, since Thursday.

Which leaves oxycodone. I hate oxycodone, because it constipates me and isn't very effective at the levels which don't give me a headache.

I've been sleeping in 3-4 hour medicated chunks. The lidocaine patches which usually help are not really doing it.

Sitting up HURTS like a mofo. Standing up sends shooting pains down my leg and lights up buzzing up and down my thigh.

Nevertheless I've spent the last three weeks in Christmas/birthday prep mode, mostly directing other people's cleaning efforts but building a 3d printer and computer for my kid, and having to micromanage party prep because no one else seems to actually see the messes.

The party is over. I am lying in bed on oxycodone that has brought my pain level down to about a 5. 10 is kidney stones and childbirth. Standing up a few hours ago put me at a 9.

I managed to cobble together 6 or 7 hours of net sleep last night in 3 chunks.

In a bit I will apply a massage lotion and use gua sha stones to work on my hip and thigh. It is a very temporary relief but I need all the relief I can find. If the massage did not fatigue me, I'd do it every damn day. But overstressing my hands makes them hurt.

It's hard to remember that I have not always been in pain and that I will not always be in pain.

Fuck insurance companies and their requirements for me to go though so much to get the actual issues addressed.

Fuck Medicaid for not covering any of this shit when I had it.

Fuck fatphobic doctors who just shrugged and said "you're too fat to operate on" when I asked for help 2 years ago. The doctors I'm working with now are the second opinion but if I'd gotten real help 2 years ago I'd be better off already.

Anyway fuck everything. I'm getting 100% of my dopamine from the lovely comments people are leaving on my fanfics. So I've been posting rapidly. There's a good chance this is my last fanfic.

We're supposed to go to Costa Rica in February. I hope I can.

hi i was wondering if I could request a little expansion on Joshua in the ask you got about the 95s taking care of their sick s/o, im a huge greys fan and loved imagining him taking care of someone that way haha.

lmao I also love grey's. I used to watch it sm with my mom when I was def tew young for it. christina yang made me want a medical career fr fr. pls enjoy, bbg. xx

"Y/n. The doctor is in"

Joshua walked through the open door of your shared bedroom where you sat under the covers and multiple piled blankets on top, cuddling into your pillows sick with the flu.

He was dressed in a matching set of blue pajamas with a white Terry cloth robe over top, adorned in childlike stickers. In his hands he held tray on top of it a thermometer, a box of latex gloves, and a cup of red jello.

"I'm already feeling better, Shua. I think we can drop the act now."

"It's Dr. Hong, come on."

Rolling your eyes you pushed yourself up further on the bed into a sitting position, where you were met with your overly loving boyfriend pushing a pillow behind your lumbar region.

"Wow, he even got the good name brand cherry jello. Doctor, you're very impressive."

"Anything for my favorite patient. I also have chocolate pudding if that tickles your fancy more."

"Nope, I weirdly prefer jello. Not a chocolate fan."

"I knew you had to have a red flag somewhere."

Opening his own mouth as an instruction to open yours, you obliged and he placed the metal tip of the thermometer under your tongue.

"Wow, 98.6. It's a miracle, do you think once you're discharged I can take you on a date?"

"You're very good at your job, Dr. Hong. I think falling for your patients breaches a part of your contract though."

"I can't help it, especially when my patient is as beautiful as you. Even when you laugh and have boogers falling from your nose like a waterfall."

Slapping his arm, you then used it to pat the bed next to you begging for him to sit down.

"I didn't know people could be attracted to snot, yet everyday I'm surprised."

A kiss was placed on your forehead.

"Not warm at all."

Then your two cheeks, slightly missing the tip of your nose.

"Warmer."

A final one was placed on your semi-dry lips.

"Perfect."

"So, all clear doc?"

"I think you're ready for a night on the town with your handsome boyfriend, yes."

And with one more kiss, Joshua opens the small tub of jello, faking you out by placing the spoon headed for you into his own mouth you were cured by your not so doctor boyfriend.

[fajcit]

Today felt like the first day back to myself here. I exercised and it just hit five so i’m having mezcal. I’ve been having horrible brainfog and so lazy but I think i’m ready to go. I’m itching to go rollerblading as I was reminiscing yesterday how proud of myself I am for how great I got at it while in Cali. I don’t want to let that go. Maybe my new attitude came from putting cbd on my lower lumbar in combination with just now getting a normal firm mattress (i had been sleeping on my moms old mattress that felt like springs in a pillow, seriously it was like jello, the whole thing basically vibrated while i sunk in) OH and finally my discontinued ikea duvet cover came in the mail… I didn’t realize how difficult it was to buy even 300 thread count sheets in person. Literally everything is such trash like ~118thread or 220. But the one I got is 600 so it’s nice thick and crisp, feels so good. I’m gonna get another in a different color, but still have to find some nice quality fitted sheets and more pillowcases. Also came to hate linen while in florida? Which seems counterintuitive right…

Main Story Chapter 17-07: The Third Bang (第三声巨响) | Light  and Night 光與夜之戀

Chapter 17-05

♡———♡

I wrapped my coat tightly around me and walked home quickly. Suddenly, I felt a chill on the tip of my nose. I habitually looked up, but the night sky remained the same. It was just dew dripping from the leaves. It seemed... it had been a long time since it had rained.

Suddenly, a blurry figure appeared in my vision, falling from the sky and rushing straight towards me. I desperately urged my body to dodge back, and as soon as I took a step, crack - a baby bottle fell in front of me, shattering into pieces.

Thankfully, I reacted quickly, otherwise I might be in the hospital now. I glared angrily at the high-rise building, but there was nothing I could do about those who littered.

The young man standing not far away breathed a sigh of relief. He withdrew his hand and looked at the bottle on the ground, lost in thought.

*Visually at this part, the game briefly shows the boy Osborn, hinting that he was the young man in this sentence.

-

As I was nearing home, my phone suddenly vibrated.

It was the landlord. But today wasn't the day to pay the rent.

Landlord: Hello, young lady, I hope I'm not disturbing you this late?

You: I'm not asleep yet, Auntie. What can I do for you?

Landlord: I'm a little embarrassed to bring this up. I just wanted to ask, your lease has three months left, right?

You: Yes, I was just about to discuss renewing the lease with you.

Landlord: I'm sorry, but I'm not planning to rent out that apartment anymore.

Landlord: You see, my granddaughter is starting elementary school next year, and the school district for that apartment is better.

Landlord: So I was thinking of getting it back to renovate it, so it'll be convenient for us to move in later.

You: But the deposit--

Landlord: Don't worry, young lady. I'll give you a month to find a new place and pack up, okay?

Landlord: I won't charge you rent for this month, and I'll return your entire deposit, including the penalty fee. You won't lose a penny.

Landlord: It's late, so I won't keep you any longer. Get some rest. You young people shouldn't stay up too late.

All the troublesome things seemed to happen at once. It seemed like when you're unlucky, bad things happen one after another like dominoes, and you can only watch, anxious but unable to stop them.

You: Finding a new place, moving... another big project.

As I walked, I thought, maybe this was a good thing. Leaving here sooner meant starting over sooner.

But as I looked up towards home, there was an indescribable feeling of reluctance in my heart... This seemed to be the only connection left between him and me.

-

Returning home, it was already past eleven, but I still couldn't fall asleep. I simply sat on the sofa, gazing at the night view outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

Guangqi City was still bustling, sleepless, and brightly lit.

Despite not being a stranger, I didn't feel much sense of belonging to this city. That's why I chose this apartment with floor-to-ceiling windows, thinking that being in the midst of the hustle and bustle would make me feel less lonely. It did bring me a lot of comfort.

But at this moment, the scenery outside the window remained the same, yet the loneliness felt even greater. I sat there for a while, and in order to avoid overthinking, I decided to start organizing.

First, I needed to unpack the express deliveries I hadn't had time to open before. Many of them were daily necessities sent by Charlie. I picked up a fluffy toilet seat cover, originally intended for winter.

A transparent small bag, almost thrown away among the pile of cardboard boxes, was what I had just bought online to store the amulet given by Osborn, protecting it from getting dirty.

This fluffy earmuff was a gift from Sariel at the beginning of the year. This bunch of dried flowers was given by An An when I moved in. I made it into dried flowers because it was so beautiful.

The lumbar support pillow by the sofa was an entry gift for Tangyuan, which I hadn't had the chance to give him yet.

And there was the broken night light...

The packing boxes were filled to the brim, much more than when I moved here. Some things had never been used, while others were broken but I couldn't bear to throw them away.

It had only been a year, how did I accumulate so many belongings unknowingly?

Moving is probably the process of reorganizing life. Counting what you have, letting go of the broken things, or things that won't be useful in the new life.

Only in this way can we wholeheartedly move towards the next destination.

I took the night light out of the cardboard box and put it back on the table.

-

In the early hours of the morning, it finally started to rain, but it stopped quickly. The starlight was always hidden by the clouds, and even the neon lights reflected in the puddles on the ground were unusually dim.

Osborn stood downstairs at the girl's house, looking up at the lit window.

On his phone screen was a text message she had sent not long ago.

I've been on a business trip in a neighboring city and just returned to Guangqi. I was too busy and forgot to reply. I'm sorry.

He hadn't been home for several days, and when he inquired at Wan Zhen, he only got the reply that she was on a business trip.

But she didn't answer his calls or messages. He almost concluded that one of his old enemies had taken her away.

From that day on, everyone in his guild put down their tasks and searched for the girl with all their might.

Although there was clear video evidence showing that she was indeed on a business trip in the neighboring city, Osborn still sensed something fishy.

So these past few days, no matter how late it was, he would wait downstairs for the moment the light came on.

Before coming, he had already made up his mind that today was the last day. If the girl didn't come back, he would check each of his enemies one by one.

And now, the warm light made him breathe a sigh of relief. Suddenly remembering how Wen Wan always said he was paranoid, Osborn lowered his head slightly and chuckled self-deprecatingly.

If he hadn't been so lax before, she wouldn't have been captured by Zhao Ze. For the sake of the people he cared about, even being overly cautious was nothing wrong.

He sent a message to Wen Wan to stop the search.

-

Osborn entered the elevator as usual and pressed the button for the girl's floor. Now, he just wanted to hug her and smell her hair. Then tease her a little and see her flustered expression.

A mother and son also entered the elevator. The mother's hair was tied up in a bun, with a few strands falling loose, covering her tired eyes.

The boy, on the other hand, seemed to have endless energy, playing with his scooter in the small space, almost bumping into Osborn.

Passerby Mother: I'm so sorry!

Passerby Mother: I bought you the toy, can't you behave? Look at the time, no other child is as noisy as you.

The boy showed no sign of calming down. The scooter lunged forward, and the whirring sound of the wheels was especially loud in the small elevator.

Passerby Mother: If you keep this up, I'll send you back to your grandmother's.

Only then did the boy stop, tilting his head and glancing at his mother before obediently leaning against the wall.

The elevator quickly reached the girl's floor, and the door slowly opened, but Osborn stopped.

He hesitated for a moment, then ultimately didn't step out, simply pressing the close button.

-

Back downstairs, Osborn leaned against the railing, the image of the mother and son from the elevator constantly appearing in his mind.

A child disliked by his mother, a mother misunderstood by her child.

Another face suddenly appeared before him, a young and equally tired face. He wondered if she felt relieved when she let go of his hand.

He was the same, wasn't he? Always had been. Not used to reporting to others, not used to discussing with others, even less used to considering others' feelings. Always forceful, doing as he pleased without explanation.

But now it was different. The danger had passed, the night was deep, and all the care and closeness he thought he was giving without reservation might become unbearable pressure and burden for her in the future.

Osborn: I can't do this.

Knowing she's safe is enough.

He took out his phone, quickly deleted the words "I'm downstairs," and typed a goodnight message. Just as he sent it, Wen Wan's call came in.

Wen Wan: Brother Xiao, Y/N really came back?

Osborn: Yes. Everyone's been dismissed.

Wen Wan: Thank goodness, thank goodness! The brothers can finally get a good night's sleep tonight.

Wen Wan: I told you, you were overthinking it. It's been so long, why would they come after you for revenge now?

Wen Wan: Knowing it's you, they should be even more afraid.

These words made Osborn's heart stir, as if he realized something.

Right, just now an informant said they saw that person under the bridge on Pingnan Road.

Osborn held his phone and listened quietly, his brows gradually furrowing.

Wen Wan: There was a little problem. The person was clearly there just now, but in the blink of an eye, they were gone.

There were faint gasps in the background, and some sounds of directing a search not far away. Osborn immediately understood.

Osborn: You only tell me after you lose them, huh?

Wen Wan: Well... yeah. I thought it was just a kid, I should be able to handle it.

Osborn: I got it. Don't act rashly, I'll be right there.

Worried that his other self would do something out of control, Osborn quickly got on his motorcycle. Just as he was about to start it, he noticed a small snail crawling on the handlebar.

He gently pinched the thin shell with two fingers and placed it on the leaves of a nearby holly bush before turning to leave.

-

A few minutes later, he arrived at the bridge Wen Wan mentioned. A search yielded no results, but it wasn't entirely fruitless - from the traces, it could be seen that the person had just left.

Always one step behind. Although he had tried his best to suppress the other, a wisp of the other's soul still remained in his body. Once his mind relaxed, the other could sense his every move.

Wen Wan: We've guarded all the passages, how did he get away?

Wen Wan: And why does that person look exactly like you? Is there really such a talent in the world?

Osborn didn't answer immediately, his gaze fixed on the tunnel under the bridge, lost in thought.

He remembered the information he had received from Zhou Weicheng a while ago - the power of a god could change the body.

Escaping was easy for that person.

He inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, feeling an incomprehensible sense of relief in his heart.

As if he had hoped for his other self to escape repeatedly.

Wen Wan: Brother Xiao, trust me, next time I encounter him, I'll definitely catch him!

Wen Wan: But why don't you use the guild's system to find him? That would be much faster.

Osborn: You have ten thousand questions. Just let me know next time you see him.

Osborn: Where's the thing you were supposed to steal?

Wen Wan came back to his senses and quickly took out a folder from his bag, handing it to Osborn. Osborn opened it, quickly scanned it, and patted Wen Wan's head in satisfaction.

Wen Wan: Brother Xiao, you hit too hard.

Wen Wan: All the information is here.

Wen Wan: Luckily Brother Keyang helped me. The archive room has a new administrator, and now only the person in charge of the commission can see it.

Usually, after the guild accepted a commission, they would conduct a comprehensive investigation of the client and their family. Osborn carefully looked through these documents and found that the facts were as he had expected.

Although Merodach had forbidden him from taking on the case, he had privately investigated these shootings. All the victims were killed with a single shot, but each had multiple gunshot wounds.

He could almost determine it was revenge killing, not indiscriminate killing.

The murderer used the same type of bullet every time, seemingly not afraid of being caught; on the other hand, he was very cautious, leaving no fingerprints or other clues at the scene.

Osborn: McMillan Tac-50.

There's no need to use such a heavy weapon to snipe ordinary people, and these victims were all ordinary people without exception.

They had almost no common characteristics, so finding the connection between them was crucial.

Although a figure suddenly appeared in his mind after seeing the principal's name, he still needed more evidence to confirm it. After all, over the years, there were quite a few people who had grudges against that principal.

Osborn browsed through the victims' background information one by one. Except for the principal who used to be his enemy, the other victims had no connection to him.

And in the principal's life, only the period of teaching in middle school was written in great detail... Osborn stared at that passage, catching a hint of strangeness.

--This unusually detailed experience appeared very abruptly, almost as if it was deliberately trying to make him believe the authenticity of these files.

Osborn: Wen Wan, have these materials passed through anyone else's hands?

Wen Wan: No, I saw Brother Keyang steal them with my own eyes. What's wrong?

Osborn took out a metal box from his pocket, casually poured out a white candy-like object, and swallowed it.

He took the materials out of the folder, rolled them up, and stuffed them into his pocket, then threw the empty folder back into Wen Wan's arms.

Wen Wan: Aren't you going to return these? Last time I stole something, the boss made me clean the toilet. What if he makes me do it again this time...

Osborn: You should really think about how to deal with that.

Osborn: I have something else to do, gotta go.

Osborn nimbly got on his motorcycle and sped away.

Wen Wan: Brother Xiao, help me think of a way!

-

The motorcycle drove deep into a small alley in the city center, finally stopping in front of a shop with a "For Rent" sign. The doorway was covered in cobwebs, looking like it hadn't been taken care of for a long time.

Osborn pushed the door open and walked in, fiddling with the wall for a bit. The originally empty wall suddenly shifted, revealing a hidden door.

-

Osborn walked down the stairs until the faint light illuminated his vision again, and a bar appeared before him.

The rough wooden decor created a retro American country style, while the metal and leather accents added a touch of elegance to the space.

There were only a few customers scattered in the booths, quietly sipping wine or listening to the slow rock performance on stage.

The wooden door was pushed open, and several waiters turned their heads in unison.

When they saw who it was, they all showed surprised expressions.

Bartender A: Brother Xiao, why are you here?!

Bartender B: Hello, Brother Xiao!

Although he hadn't been back for a long time, Osborn skillfully walked through the crowd, nodding to them as a greeting.

Customer: Boss Xiao? It's really you.

A well-dressed middle-aged man in a booth stood up and walked towards Osborn with surprise.

Customer: Haven't seen you in ages. Being a race car driver is different, you've forgotten all of us old friends.

Osborn: How could I forget Boss Huang?

Osborn: Xiao Gu, open a bottle of wine. Tonight's bill is on me.

Osborn snapped his fingers at the waiter, and a bottle of golden liquor was quickly brought over on a metal tray.

The cork was popped, and the fragrant bubbles overflowed. Osborn poured himself a glass of wine and raised it to the other person.

Osborn: Cheers.

The glasses clinked, and Osborn raised his neck, drinking it all in one gulp.

Customer: Boss Xiao still has a good capacity for alcohol.

Osborn: I have something to do, enjoy yourself.

He patted the man's shoulder and turned to walk towards the back of the bar.

-

Passing through the staff lounge door, he continued walking, through the storage room, and finally arrived at the manager's office door.

The floor and walls were dark, hidden in large shadows.

The man sitting in the deepest part of the darkness was reading a book. Hearing the sound, he stood up alertly, and only relaxed when he saw who it was.

Zhou Weicheng: Osborn, why are you here? Have a seat.

He put down the book in his hand and gestured towards another sofa beside him. Osborn shook his head and stood against the wall.

Osborn: Are you used to it here? Has anyone given you trouble?

Zhou Weicheng: Everyone's been good, and no one's given me trouble. It's just that I've been troubling you, finding places for me and moving me around.

Zhou Weicheng: How long do I have to stay here?

Osborn: Not too long. As soon as there's a chance of being discovered, I'll find another place for you.

Zhou Weicheng sighed deeply.

Zhou Weicheng: I just feel useless.

Zhou Weicheng: I had already decided to risk my life for the truth, but in the end, I became a deserter just to survive.

Osborn: If the truth could be exchanged for life, I wouldn't stop you. But you know it's not possible. Only by living can there be a chance.

Zhou Weicheng: I understand everything you're saying. Don't worry, I won't be as impulsive as before.

Zhou Weicheng: You've already taken a big risk by arranging all this for me. I can't drag you down with me.

Zhou Weicheng raised his tired eyes and forced a smile at Osborn.

Zhou Weicheng: By the way, what did you come to see me for? Is it about him again?

Osborn nodded silently.

Osborn: You said before that he can know all my thoughts. I've been taking your medicine to suppress it, but the effect isn't ideal. I'm very passive.

Zhou Weicheng: After all, part of his soul is in your body. It's impossible to completely hide from him.

Osborn: A Taoist priest told me before that the two souls in my body are fighting each other.

Zhou Weicheng: Fighting?

Zhou Weicheng's eyes widened in shock, as if he hadn't expected the severity of the situation.

Zhou Weicheng: Do you have any discomfort in your body? Or any unexplained wounds?

Zhou Weicheng: We usually separate complete souls. Your situation is rare because we discovered side effects.

Zhou Weicheng: Souls separated from the same body often have empathy.

Zhou Weicheng: For example, if he gets hurt, you might feel pain too. Of course, this isn't 100%, the manifestation rate is about 60%.

Osborn was stunned for a moment, then nodded as if he understood something.

Zhou Weicheng was now even more anxious than Osborn. Obviously, Osborn had already developed empathy with the other half of the soul, but he had never mentioned it to anyone.

Zhou Weicheng: He hates us so much, and he's rejecting your soul. I should have thought of that.

Zhou Weicheng: If the two souls are in constant conflict and cannot merge, it will cause serious harm to the body.

Zhou Weicheng: In previous experiments, the mortality rate was 90%.

Zhou Weicheng: Plus, that soul has the power of a god. If it loses control, I really can't imagine what will happen.

Zhou Weicheng: Osborn, I'll try to find a way to relieve your pain with the least amount of harm.

Zhou Weicheng: But you must destroy him as soon as possible. The sooner he disappears, the safer you'll be.

Zhou Weicheng: If you don't trust me, you can destroy him yourself. Your power should be able to do it.

Osborn remained noncommittal, staring at the pattern on the floor, silent like a statue.

Zhou Weicheng stared at him anxiously, becoming increasingly impatient.

Zhou Weicheng: What are you worried about?

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Weicheng suddenly understood.

He remembered that the last time Osborn came to him, he had said that he didn't want to destroy the other half of the soul for the time being.

Zhou Weicheng: Don't you want to destroy him?

Osborn remained silent for a while before slowly nodding.

Zhou Weicheng looked at him in surprise, his heart filled with disbelief.

Back then at the academy, the young man was so resolute, determined to keep only the evil within himself. But now, he had become soft again, as if nothing had ever happened.

All your efforts, the sweat you shed, the choices you made, the immense pain you endured for it... You thought you had changed your fate, but in the end, nothing has changed. Zhou Weicheng suddenly felt the irony of fate towards people.

Zhou Weicheng: Osborn, he... is no longer you.

Osborn: I know.

Osobrn lowered his eyes, his thick eyelashes hiding a fleeting look of confusion.

Zhou Weicheng: If you can't bring yourself to do it, then I'll be the villain.

Osborn: Doctor, I am the villain, have you forgotten?

He curled his lips into a smile, seemingly trying to soothe the other's tension, but the air in the room remained heavy and suffocating.

Zhou Weicheng: Do you regret what happened back then?

Osborn: I wouldn't say regret.

Osborn: I just don't know how to give him up again.

Osborn: How did you feel when you sent that girl named Xiao Zhen away?

Zhou Weicheng: I felt that compared to Sun Taizhong or Lu Ting, I was the one who directly killed her.

Zhou Weicheng lowered his eyes.

Zhou Weicheng: I always stubbornly believed that as long as I could achieve my goal, the cost didn't matter.

Zhou Weicheng: But she would cry, she would laugh, she would call me uncle. She was a living person, not a container. I had no right to make decisions for her.

Zhou Weicheng: That girl was right, I was blinded by hatred. If I had been more clear-headed, Xiao Zhen might still be alive.

Zhou Weicheng: I used the sacrifice of others to maintain my hypocritical justice.

Osborn looked at Zhou Weicheng indifferently, then turned to look at the sealed window.

Silence filled the room for a while.

He moved his lips, his voice a little hoarse.

Osborn: When we first met, he said something to me.

Osborn: He said I was actually inferior and cowardly. Whenever something failed, I would always only look for the reason within myself.

Osborn: I felt that it was all because of him that I ended up like that.

Osborn: Maybe, at that time, all that was left was self-esteem, so I couldn't lose anything else.

Osborn: I thought that getting rid of him would give me absolute control over the outside world, and things would get better.

Osborn: But in the end, it took me even longer to coexist peacefully with this half of the soul in my body.

As if making a decision, Osborn withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhou Weicheng.

Osborn: He was right, there are very few things I can truly control.

Osborn: For so many years, I never faced him directly, which was actually refusing to admit that I was wrong.

Osborn: Abandoning him was my choice, I don't regret it, but I have to take responsibility for the consequences now.

Zhou Weicheng looked at him with heartache.

Unknowingly, the young man in front of him seemed to have grown and changed a lot, but he still hadn't let go of himself.

Zhou Weicheng: Actually, there's another way to not destroy him. As long as you can suppress him, I'll also try to find a way to make him go back to sleep.

Osborn: What if I can't suppress him?

Zhou Weicheng: Then your body will be controlled by him, and you'll become a bystander. No, it's still too risky.

Zhou Weicheng: He has the bloodline of a god and is exceptionally gifted. Once he returns to his original body, we don't know what price we'll have to pay to suppress him.

Osborn: Go on.

Zhou Weicheng paused, looking into Osborn's eyes, and finally sighed.

Zhou Weicheng: The paper you brought last time, it had the teacher's handwriting on it.

As he spoke, he opened a drawer and took out the yellowed paper covered in letters.

He didn't notice Osborn's back suddenly tensing up, various emotions flashing in his eyes, before he simply smiled silently.

Zhou Weicheng: It's about the soul separation technique, the method of transforming humans into blood clan containers.

Zhou Weicheng: Actually, we also developed a way to reverse it back then. But before we could test it, the teacher disappeared.

Zhou Weicheng: After I brought Xiao Zhen and the others out, I tried it, but because their transformation failed, I could only prolong their lives.

Zhou Weicheng: But you're different. I think it might succeed with you.

Osborn: Soul fusion?

Zhou Weicheng: You were originally one.

Osborn: Will he still have his own consciousness?

Zhou Weicheng shook his head.

Osborn's eyes darkened, his lips gradually pressing into a line.

Osborn: A while ago, Y/N saw him. In her words, he was living like an ordinary person.

Osborn: It's like... another me in a parallel universe. I can't just treat him as half of myself.

Zhou Weicheng: Don't blame yourself so much. You had no choice back then. In that situation, there was no right or wrong decision.

Zhou Weicheng: Don't carry so much guilt, your life will be very tiring.

Osborn: But now I have a choice, and I don't want to make the wrong one again.

Osborn: Do you have a way to make him completely unaware of my thoughts?

Zhou Weicheng frowned, about to shake his head in denial, but suddenly paused, as if he had thought of something.

But at the same time, the lines between his brows deepened.

Osborn: You do.

Zhou Weicheng: This can't be considered a solution.

Osborn: Say it.

Zhou Weicheng fell silent, their gazes locked in a silent interrogation within the narrow space. Eventually, Zhou Weicheng couldn't resist Osborn's determination to get to the bottom of it.

Zhou Weicheng: Separate the soul that belongs to him.

Time seemed to pause for a moment, the room falling into a deathly silence, even the ticking of the wall clock fading away.

Zhou Weicheng: I'll say it again, this is not a solution at all.

Zhou Weicheng: The risk is too great. No one can withstand multiple soul separations. Especially since his soul is still fighting against yours.

Zhou Weicheng: You will die.

Zhou Weicheng: But you're different now. You're the support of many people.

Zhou Weicheng glanced meaningfully towards the door of the manager's office.

Zhou Weicheng: I heard them say that if it weren't for you taking them in, they would have nowhere to go and might have starved to death.

Zhou Weicheng: And that girl. I can see you care about her a lot. She definitely wouldn't want you to take risks.

Osborn's face was instantly filled with tenderness, his hand unconsciously reaching for his chest, clutching the necklace.

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

It was as if time had rewound eight years, or perhaps time hadn't moved at all, and they were forever faced with the same choice.

Zhou Weicheng couldn't help but look at Osborn. He was still the same child tortured by his own kindness, always giving in time and again. But fate also kept playing tricks on him.

Zhou Weicheng couldn't understand why good and evil were always undergoing drastic transformations. He even had a premonition that the nightmare would repeat itself.

Osborn: I understand.

Osborn stood up but didn't take a step.

Osborn: Don't tell Y/N about these things.

Osborn: She wouldn't want me to take risks, but no matter what decision I make, she will definitely support me, even if she's unwilling in her heart.

Osborn: So, don't tell her.

Zhou Weicheng nodded in agreement.

Osborn: Get some rest, I'll consider your suggestion.

Osborn turned and walked towards the door, but paused just as he was about to step out.

Osborn: Actually, there are always two voices in my heart, one hoping he disappears completely.

Osborn: But the other voice keeps telling me that abandoning him would make me the person I hate the most.

-

In a small alley not far from the bar, a security officer was conducting routine night patrols.

The man complained about his job while counting the crumpled bills in his hand, the protection fee he had just collected from a small vendor.

At this moment, a rhythmic crisp sound came from ahead, one after another, quite strange.

He adjusted the baton at his waist and tiptoed towards the source of the sound.

As he got closer, the sound became clearer, and he finally recognized it as the sound of a ping pong ball hitting the ground.

In the dim light, a hooded teenager was standing in front of a house, his back facing him.

The figure was bouncing a ping pong ball on the ground.

Security Officer: Hey, you, turn around.

The teenager seemed to not hear his voice and continued to bounce the ping pong ball in his hand.

Security Officer: I'm talking to you, do you hear me? What school are you from? Why are you still out this late?

He impatiently walked forward and slapped the teenager's shoulder hard.

The next moment, he fell on his back, a ping pong ball-sized black hole left in the palm of the hand that had touched the teenager's shoulder.

Patting the nonexistent dust off his shoulder, the teenager opened the door of the house and walked in.

He decided to find a house for himself, and this place happened to be unoccupied.

-

He thought that if Y/N came to find him in the future, he needed a place to stay. The warehouse was too dirty and would stain her clothes.

Without bothering to turn on the lights, he went straight to the bathroom, wringing out a towel and carefully wiping the shoulder that had been touched.

Then he wiped the coat rack clean and hung up his coat. Bored, he took out his phone and repeatedly looked at the text messages exchanged with Y/N.

Yes, she still remembered him and might come to find him anytime.

Would she like his new place? ... He couldn't contain his anticipation and smiled.

-

Outside the wall, in a corner at the end of the alley, Yuan Hao looked at the unconscious security officer lying on the ground, feeling a deep sense of terror.

If he had originally only wanted to use him, now he felt it was beyond his capabilities.

After hesitating for a while, he finally mustered up the courage and knocked on the door.

The door opened with a click, and the teenager's indifferent face appeared behind it, the ping pong ball rhythmically hitting the ground as he tossed it.

(Osborn) Boy: It's you again.

Afraid that he would be rejected again, Yuan Hao took a step forward.

Yuan Hao: I know you're Osborn.

Yuan Hao: You're half of Osborn's soul.

(Osborn) Boy: Did Sheng Shan tell you that?

Yuan Hao was so surprised that he couldn't speak. He even knew that he belonged to the Lian Shan Society.

But at this point, there was no point in denying it. If he wanted to cooperate with him, he had to show sincerity.

So Yuan Hao slowly nodded.

Yuan Hao: I want to cooperate with you.

The teenager tilted his head, leaning against the door frame and looking at him sideways.

Yuan Hao: My brother was killed by Yuda Academy, but for so many years he's only been a name, one of the 89 victims.

Yuan Hao: But that person is living well, better than anyone else. Don't you think it's unfair?

(Osborn) Boy: You're not capable enough, so you want to use my hand to deal with him?

(Osborn) Boy: You should go beg the Lian Shan Society, power is the best weapon.

The blunt words seemed to hit Yuan Hao's sore spot, causing a flash of anger on his face.

Yuan Hao: It's useless. Sun Taizhong is dead, he can take all the blame.

Yuan Hao: The public just wants an explanation. Once they get it, the Yuda Academy incident will be completely over.

Yuan Hao: The Lian Shan Society won't avenge me alone. In the end, I'm just their pawn, to be discarded at will.

Yuan Hao: My brother's little life means nothing to them.

Yuan Hao: No matter how big the fuss, there's always a time when people forget. I've seen it clearly.

Yuan Hao: So you're my savior. I swear, I'll never betray you like he did!

Hearing the familiar words, the teenager straightened up with interest.

(Osborn) Boy: But I'm also Osborn, your enemy. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you right now?

Yuan Hao: You won't. You're different.

Yuan Hao's eyes flashed with a burning light, as if hatred was burning.

Yuan Hao: That Osborn, as a survivor, has no remorse at all and lives with a clear conscience.

Yuan Hao: Why? He doesn't even stand up to expose the evil.

Yuan Hao: But us, the families of the victims, have to bear the pain of losing our loved ones for the rest of our lives.

Yuan Hao: But you're different. You did what we wanted to do but didn't dare to do, like... a god.

The teenager looked at him thoughtfully, examining the overflowing admiration in his expression.

He had seen the same light in others' eyes more than once, and could vaguely feel them placing something on him, but it only made him feel more lost.

(Osborn) Boy: God?

Yuan Hao nodded without hesitation.

(Osborn) Boy: Have you seen one?

Yuan Hao: No. But I think a god should be like you. Not caring about anything, not afraid of death, absolutely fair to everyone.

He spoke with such certainty and conviction, but the teenager had lost interest in listening.

(Osborn) Boy: One last question, why not seek revenge directly from the Blood Clan? You should know they are the real culprits.

Yuan Hao opened his mouth but no sound came out, his face flushing red.

Yuan Hao: I will, it's just a matter of timing. I'll take revenge on them one by one. Osborn is the first.

The teenager stared at his face, saying nothing. Yuan Hao interpreted this noncommittal behavior as tacit approval and eagerly presented his plan.

Yuan Hao: I know Osborn cares deeply about a woman. If something happened to her, Osborn would go crazy.

Yuan Hao: He's never lost anything, he should taste that feeling too.

(Osborn) Boy: No wonder you've achieved nothing so far, you're so stupid.

(Osborn) Boy: I'll only say this once, don't go near her.

The door was slammed shut in front of him.

He knew this kind of person too well. They didn't truly seek justice for their deceased loved ones. Perhaps they did at the beginning, but over time, jealousy replaced anger, and embarrassment replaced grief.

They couldn't believe that others could endure it, nor could they accept that they couldn't. So they desperately tried to drag those who had endured it down, to prove that everyone was living just as badly, but they didn't have the courage to target the real enemy.

Yuan Hao stood dumbfounded outside the door, not understanding why the teenager had refused.

Perhaps he had his own considerations. A person as powerful as a god should make the best decision, Yuan Hao thought to himself, nodding silently.

Just as he thought this, the door in front of him suddenly opened again.

(Osborn) Boy: Dispose of the body at the door.

Yuan Hao: What do you mean?

(Osborn) Boy: Didn't you say you wanted to cooperate with me?

I mean... If you have enough pillows, a couple blankets, and like 6 scarves, you can make your own torso+chin rest that pads your front and supports your neck and shoulders by taking on the weight of your head

Basically, sit where you want to be with your book, lay one scarf across your thighs /the space where you're building, pull a blanket in front of you, and place your biggest /heaviest pillow in the middle of it. Fold the pillow in half if its a body pillow and count it as two or place it centered and fold the ends under it. Stack your pillows until, uncompressed, they are at your eye level.

Wrap your blanket up around the sides of your pillow tower. If it covers, go to the next step. If not, use another blanket from the top and wrap the bottom blanket around the outside of the bundle.

Hug your bundle of pillows while compressing it with your chin and ensure you can still reach around the stack to turn pages. Adjust the padding in the stack according to where you feel unsupported in the upper body.

Compress the stack from the top as hard as you can with your elbows, grab the ends of your scarf, and tie it firmly around the stack.

Grab another scarf, wrap it around your stack the same way you hugged it, pull TIGHT and tie it.

If you are in posession of boobage, you'll want to sandwich an additonal pillow between the bundle and your stomach that your breasts rest comfortably atop of

Finally, you'll need a wedge. This is for the book to rest on, and can be accomplished by shaping one with 2 pillows and a blanket folded around them to create a surface that tips one way by a couple degrees.

If you have a foam wedge for athletic purposes, that is PERFECT! An old trapper keeper or binder-style folder works good, too

Finally, get comfy. Plant your tailbone as far back as physically possible and round your hips forward to flex the lumbar region of your spine and prevent weight from resting fully upon it, pull your tummy pillow in and get your tits arranged if you got em, and then hug in your support bundle and do all the wiggles and adjusts you need to rest your chin atop it without all force going straight into your teeth. Now you have something to lean forward and rest upon as you read!

If you have a table or desk you wanna read at, just two pillows to pad the stomach and ribs from the edge can serve the same purpose

If your neck feels unsupported atop the stack, consider an airline pillow and put the open part at the back to rest your neck and chin on the padding.

If you live with lower back pain and leaning forward in any capacity FREAKIN HURTS, you can hold your pillow bundle with your legs to rest your book upon while leaning fully back. The travel pillow will work great for keeping your chin off your collar bone and prevent neck crunching; use it in whatever way works for you.

Pillow bundles, by nature of being soft, will not hold their shape past a few days of usage. Reccomend taking it apart and fluffin the pillows when things flatten.

You'll learn what stacking of the things you have avalible works for you-- this is just me talking about how I do it to relive my own aches and pains. Its like blanket forts-- we can make different things with the same materials because it's ALL about personal preference in making a comfy cozy place to be.

I hope the books you read are enthralling, and your tea is always just the right temperature when you sip it 💚

do you know what we don't talk about often enough? there is no physically comfortable posture in which to read a book

Neutrals never really went out of style—but in 2025, they’re making a bold comeback. From crisp whites to soft beiges, neutral-toned sofas are dominating modern interiors once again. Their strength lies in their versatility, calming aesthetic, and effortless ability to adapt across seasons and trends.

At Home and Soul Dubai, we’re seeing a renewed love for the soft simplicity of neutral seating—whether it’s a compact 2 seater sofa, a family-friendly 3 seater sofa, or a spacious L shaped sofa. Here’s how to embrace the return of neutrals and style your sofa with soul and intention.

Let the Fabric Speak First

A neutral sofa in a natural material—like cotton or linen—immediately sets a tone of relaxed elegance. These fabrics breathe well, age beautifully, and offer texture that adds quiet depth to the room.

Whether you’re styling a 2 seater sofa in a small nook or an L shaped sofa in an open-plan living space, the tactile quality of the fabric becomes your design foundation. Layering begins with texture, and neutrals give you the perfect base to build on.

Layer in Tone-on-Tone Accents

To keep your beige or white sofa looking modern and intentional, play with tonal layers. Soft greys, warm taupes, creamy whites, and earthy browns blend beautifully with neutral seating while adding visual interest. Cushions in varied textures—bouclé, cotton, linen—create a rich, layered look.

For a 3 seater sofa, try five cushions in a mix of tones and textures, plus a throw to ground the space. A 2 seater sofa looks fresh with two or three well-chosen accents, while an L shaped sofa benefits from even more layering across its full length.

Add Contrast with Materials

Neutrals shine brightest when paired with contrast. Wood, rattan, concrete, and stone are beautiful companions to white and beige sofas. Think a sculptural coffee table in dark wood, a woven rug underfoot, or a rattan pendant light above. These elements add personality and prevent the space from feeling flat or sterile.

An L shaped sofa can be beautifully anchored with a dark coffee table and a large textured rug. A 2 seater can sit against a wooden wall or beneath a black-framed mirror for striking contrast.

Keep It Seasonal and Flexible

One of the best parts of neutral sofas is how easily they adapt with the seasons. In warmer months, lighten the look with gauzy throws and natural accessories. In cooler months, bring in deeper tones—like olive, rust, or charcoal—and soft, chunky textiles to create a cozier feel.

A 3 seater sofa with removable neutral cushion covers makes it easy to update your look without replacing the core piece. Just switch out pillows, throws, and accessories to keep your space feeling fresh.

Choose the Right Sofa for Your Space

Not all neutral sofas are created equal—selecting the right shape is just as important as choosing the right color.

A 2 seater sofa is perfect for smaller rooms or intimate seating areas. Its simplicity shines in minimalist setups with just a few carefully curated accessories.

A 3 seater sofa offers ample space and is ideal for family areas, especially when paired with a statement floor lamp or artwork.

An L shaped sofa creates structure in open spaces and invites casual lounging. Style it with a combination of square and lumbar cushions to enhance its relaxed feel.

In 2025, white and beige sofas are proving that simplicity is anything but basic. They offer the calm and clarity that many of us crave in our homes—and when styled with care, they become the most soulful seat in the house.

Whether you choose a 2 seater sofa, a cozy 3 seater sofa, or a sprawling L shaped sofa, neutrals give you the freedom to express your style season after season

A Stylish and Useful Guide to the Charm of Pillows and Covers with Fringes and Tassels

Throw pillows and covers with frills and bows make your home more interesting and soft. They also add texture, personality, and art to the room. When paired with bright patterns, high-end fabrics, or hand-stitched embroidery, these little touches of art can quickly take a room from plain to put-together. This article will tell you everything you need to know about these stylish accents, from the materials used to where you can find them. It will also feature unique designs such as the Tibetan Tiger Blue Checker Throw Pillow Cover with Tassels and the Red Embroidered Tiger Lumbar Pillow Cover with Fringes.

Material : Velvet, cotton, and hand-embroidered items are all available

The cloth is what makes a pillow great. People like velvet, linen, cotton, and wool mixes because they are comfortable and last a long time. Each adds a different feel to the final look. Velvet, in particular, has a luxurious feel. For example, the Velvet Lumbar Pillow with Tassels is both soft to the touch and dramatic to look at.

Designs that are embroidered or made by hand also give it a handcrafted feel. The Red Embroidered Tiger Lumbar Pillow Cover with Fringes, for example, has beautiful needlework that shows cultural inspiration and skill. It's great for fans and people who like design in general.

Shape and Function Meet at Size

It is very important to think about size when choosing pillows and blankets with fringes or bows. Standard square forms (18x18" or 20x20") can be used for many things and are great for stacking on beds or chairs. Lumbar pillows, like the embroidered tiger and plush styles we talked about earlier, are good for your back and look great on accent chairs or doorway benches.

Using different sizes of pillows can give a room more depth, especially when paired with bold patterns like the Black and White Zebra Pillow Cover with Fringes, which gives a one-color design visual movement and contrast.

Pick a style: Bohemian, Playful, Luxe, or Eclectic

There are a lot of different types of pillows with fringe and tassels. Patterns like the ones on the Tibetan Tiger Blue Checker Throw Pillow Cover with Tassels mix fun and tradition to make rooms look more interesting. These styles look great in boho or maximalist rooms that need lots of different textures.

On the other hand, frills can add visual interest to simple or modern settings as well. When they come in basic colors or bold black-and-white, like the Zebra Pillow Cover with Fringes, these small items make a statement without taking over the room.

Collection: Carefully Put Together

A lot of home decor brands and artists are now putting out seasonal or themed collections of fringed and tasseled pillows. This makes it possible to put together sets that tell a story. For example, the Red Tiger and Zebra Covers might have bright animal prints from a line that is inspired by the jungle. On the other hand, velvet pieces with silver thread ends might be the star of a high-end winter collection.

Some companies even make hand-dyed fabrics and materials that are gathered in a way that doesn't harm the environment in limited-edition runs that make the product more exclusive and ethical.

There is a price range for everyone

Pillows with fringe and tassels cost different amounts. Cotton covers that are mass-produced can be bought for less than $30. Styles that are made by hand or with embroidery, like the Tibetan Tiger Blue Checker or Velvet Lumbar Pillow with Tassels, can cost anywhere from $70 to more than $150, based on the quality of the work and the materials used.

When you spend more on quality, you usually get things that last longer, don't wear out as quickly, and keep their shape and color over time.

Color: Strong Statements or Soft Accents

When picking out a pillow, color is very important. You can use slight differences or big visual pops with fringes and tassels. The rich blue color of the Tibetan Blue Checker Pillow or the bright red of the Tiger Lumbar Cover can draw attention to certain parts of a room. On the other hand, neutral frills on a cream or charcoal base can make a cool, classy color scheme look even better.

Putting pillows with wall art, throws, or rugs that are the same color helps tie the room's colors together.
