Here are the ladies of the group: Luna, Myeong, Mina and So-Hee

[cordeliaflyte]

Answer 1: I quickly grab for the hairstick.

Answer 2: I tell Col. Firesnuff and the salesclerk that the hairstick is on reserve for me.

Answer 3: I let Col. Firesnuff buy it and then attempt to pilfer it from him.

Answer 4: Col. Firesnuff got there first, so it's only fair to let him have it.

[bardic-tales]

Happy STS! Bit of a basic question, but what is your OCs' favorite smell?

Happy STS to you too. Thanks so much for the question. I hope you are having a wonderful day or night.

Azrakiel (Asmodeus): While one would think that his favorite scent would be fresh blood as he is quite the sadist, his actual favorite scent is the evening primroses. The Kingdom of Lusts gardens have these plants in them. They remind him of the gardens in the celestial realm where he used to love to spend his time unwinding beneath the Eternal Moonlight.

Bianca Moore: Like her father, Asmodeus, Bianca shares an affinity for plants. She loves the scent of roses and vanilla. Her surrogate mother, Sarah Moore, would wear a perfume: Samsara Eau de Parfum. She associates the rose smell with safety. When her lover creates her dream-scape, he fills a section of the garden with roses.

Seraphine: the archangel watcher, Seraphine, always associated that scent after rain falls with rebirth. Throughout her life, it would rain after she guided humanity and other mortal beings to the right paths and away from the corrupting influences of eldritch horrors and the primordial demons (fallen angels). She would feel at peace as she stood in the earthly smell after it rained. This smell would just evoke happy feelings after awhile.

Past Lives:

I have had many past lives, primarily in Europe and also as a Celt. In these lifetimes I have possessed the following roles: witch, Roma, Druid, healer, shaman, medicine woman, psychic, and seer. The first specific past life is from when I was a Celt, specifically located in Ireland near the Holy Site of Newgrange. I was a huge fan of traveling, especially to Cornwall and Tintagel. In this lifetime I thrived in all areas of life and was known as a leader, warrior, and fighter who was very devoted to my tribe. I had a large family with lots of friends, however I never partnered in this lifetime as I could never settle on one lover. I had a younger sister, by one year, who had six children. Of the six, I was particularly close with two of the children who followed in my footsteps. During this lifetime I spent most of my time outdoors and was particularly gifted in astrology.

Regarding my more witchy lifetimes, most of these took place in or around France, Romania, and Germany. One of my spirit guides, Violet, has lived all of those lifetimes with me, most prominent of which was the last one which took place during the witch trials in Germany. Myself and my coven died during this time. My grandmother and mother were medicine workers omen and witches, and the three of us practiced together in secret.

Spirit Guides:

The first of my primary guides is John. John originates from Cornwall, England and is a Celtic Druid. He has a twin sister named Anne who is a helper spirit of mine. He is descended from the Doumnunil tribe. He is approximately six feet tall with long white hair and a beard, along with a mustache, and he has bright blue eyes. He typically wears a white Druid cape and wears a Druid symbol on a pendant around his neck. He also typically carries a wooden staff with clear quartz fixated on top of it. John has been a guide for a few of my past lives as he vowed to protect me and to teach me. John really enjoys the ancient ways of the land, especially being outdoors near old trees. He possesses a very kind and loving energy and helps guide my path and will send me relevant information when he finds it helpful. He is very easy to connect with as he will appear just by thinking about him. He also enjoys sending signs through water.

Nancy is the second of my primary guides. Nancy is a French Pagan, who stands around five foot seven with medium brown, shoulder length hair. She has brown eyes and a petite build which is normally adorned with a violet colored dress, which is her favorite color and preferred name. We have been best friends for many lifetimes and have faced persecution together. Violet loves crystals and is very passionate about Paganism, which she is very knowledgeable about. She prefers to share her knowledge with me through meditation. Her purpose is to help me tap into my own spiritual gifts and psychic gifts once more. She tends to send people to go can me along my journey very regularly.

My reputation is as good as ruined.

Not that it was in pristine shape to begin with.

[therealdagon-and-michael]

Dagon, exhausted, finally falls asleep, though she hadn’t been planning on it.

Michael tucks her into her bed and closes the door to her room.

Please, let her have a peaceful rest. That’s all I ask.

Art Gallery: Tamaki Suoh x Reader

I've been neglecting y'all, I'm so sorry, have some Tamaki soft angst/fluff/I don't even know, it just made me cry.

Tamaki Suoh x gn Reader

Warnings: None

-----

"You wondered if you would be his third Great Love–if he would kneel at your altar and pray while some other pretty young thing watched from a doorway."

----------

In a room packed with ancient sculptures and priceless portraits, Tamaki still managed to stand out.

Of course he did. He himself was history, as old as the stars with an ethereal beauty to match, glowing and radiant despite his archaic visage. Born of a dying sun, a child of primrose and promise. In a gallery full of art, he was a living masterpiece.

But it wasn’t just his face that garnered attention wherever he went. It was his posture, regal as a king; it was his charisma, able to talk a leopard out of its spots; it was his voice, like the flute of an archangel. It was his presence that radiated calm and peace; it was the look in his eyes that had you believing that whatever you said, he listened.

And here you were, hanging off his arm, lucky enough to be the one to whom he directed that great, big heart.

Your glass sparkled in your hand, but not nearly as bright as his teeth when he smiled, greeting visitors and critics and other bigwigs as they entered the gallery. It was the event of the season, you had read in yet another magazine describing his brilliant philanthropic efforts.

His funds came from family money and wise investments, those articles said. They were correct in the fact that it was old money--but he himself was older than money itself, existing before humans knew what fire was and teaching them not to get burned with the flame.

This art gallery was, perhaps, his most brazen show of lavish wealth yet. It filled the most expensive space in downtown Tokyo, wall to wall laden with portraits and statues of landscapes and people past. Each one weathered with age, paint and stone alike cracked as the years bore on. They were in his family’s generational wealth, he told each curious onlooker and reporter with pen in hand; except they never thought to ask why Suoh Enterprises only ever had one CEO, and why his name was kept hidden like an oath.

The fairy prince floated around the marble floor, though he never neglected to keep you close. As much as you loved him, it was in moments like these you felt the multi-millennial age gap. As he charmed donors with stars in their eyes and even the mayor as she visited, you realized just how good he was at flattery. Charm comes easy when you’ve had thousands of years to practice.

He looked remarkably good for his age, you often joked, most often in the early mornings in bed following nights of dedicating love. Lounging on his back with one hand tucked behind his head, the other resting on your waist as you leaned above him, body swathed in silken sheets, his blonde curls unruly and smile soft, was when he looked most human, you had decided. The sheen was put-on; the sparkle was practiced. But when you were close to him, tracing the light hair on the chest which sheltered a heart that would never stop beating, you could entertain the thought of forever.

The guests pitter-pattered on, unaware of the Immortal in their midst. It was better they remain ignorant to it, as their minds could not comprehend. Even you were dumbfounded, sometimes, that the hand you clutched had razed the empires of old, that the lips you kissed had spoken to crowds of thousands in parliaments and Greek forums. But that smile was youthful. That smile was eternal in a way that severed the disconnect between your worlds.

All the statues and portraits were of people he had known and were friends with, but not all were of those he loved. Though he was human enough to have needs platonic and pleasurable, there were only two facades who had captured his heart throughout the ages. He had them immortalized in his gallery, one in paint and one in stone, and in your home you had often found him kneeling before them both, muttering words no human spoke. A language older than language itself, words straight from his immortal heart.

You wondered if you would be his third Great Love–if he would kneel at your altar and pray while some other pretty young thing watched from a doorway.

You knew the stories well. He had told you of each person that sported a spot in his gallery. There was a granite statue of an ancient samurai, nearly ten feet tall and a sword of rough-hewn stone, a man known around the country for his loyalty, skill, and wisdom. From the same material, connected at the ankles, was a child, though Tamaki had said he was feared for his skills of violent arts and manipulation. Then there was a sculpture of a priest cradling a cat, sitting on a bench with his head covered by a cloak. Beside it was a painting of red-headed young men, identical in face and stature, who sported grins so mischievous you could feel the tips of your ears tingle in warning. Closer to the interior hung a portrait of a princess, a stunning young woman dripping with French diamonds and furs and large, sad caramel eyes. Most out of place was a silky pink ribbon keeping her hair from her face– “I gave her that,” Tamaki had said.

Statues were older than the paintings, archeological wonders. And they belonged to him, in mind and soul.

In the center of the gallery were his prized possessions: a portrait of a maiden in boys' clothes, knee-deep in a rice field; and a marble statue of an emperor, clad in primitive spectacles anachronistic of his time.

Those were his two Great Loves.

Surrounded by friends and lesser loves, those two remained frozen in time. The statue of the young man was older than some empires, you were sure; from the cracking in the marble to the way Tamaki often clutched his cold, unfeeling hand, you wondered if, indeed, they were the First Love the earth had ever seen. Beside him was the young girl, distinctly more relevant, in commoner’s period clothes of the 1700s.

An emperor and a commoner, centuries apart. How had Tamaki come to love them both so fully?

You never asked the stories, and Tamaki never told. How they stood with such detail, in such an eminent place of honor, told more of his love than his words ever could. The statue’s details were gilded in gold; the portrait was so realistic that it could have been a photograph.

Tamaki didn’t kneel in public, but his love was magnetic. When he gazed at them, it was as if the world around him disappeared.

“His eyes were black,” he would whisper, caught up in staring at the statue. “They were like onyx jewels. Like a sky without stars. Like ink spilled on a page. But sculptors can’t sculpt colors, they only sculpt marble.”

Whoever heard him would peer curiously at the specimen and ask him how he knew.

“I read it in a book somewhere,” he would say with a bemused smile, “a book so detailed it seemed I knew him personally.”

When he turned to the young lady, her portrait alive with color, he would comment on her surprised expression, pink lips rounded in an “o.”

“And she had a tongue like a whip,” he would laugh, and when faced with the same question, he answered, “My great-great-great grandfather knew her.”

Then he would fall back down from Heaven, give you a soft smile, and drag you to the next exhibit.

Over time, glorious, horrible time, you began to realize that as much as you loved him, as much as he adored you, as much you both wished to spend the ages together, you ached for it no more than any other subject deposed in his gallery. They, too, had once dreamt of forever; but humans are human, and Immortals, immortal.

Just as his destiny was to love and lose, yours was to become art within his walls; memory trapped in marble or paint. Yet you would have your immortality–with the rest who loved him, admired for the ages in his gallery.

30/03/2022-Nettles, Chiffchaff and more at Lakeside and home

It was good to see the House Sparrow in the first picture in this photoset, Starlings and my first Blue Tits in the garden for a while early this morning. Starling, Goldfinch and others looked great in the garden and out the back throughout the day, I appreciated the sound and sight of the Starling feeding sessions in the garden a lot today. I got the tenth and final picture in this photoset of a Starling in the bush later in the day with its iridescent feathers looking nice. I have been pleased with the amount of Starling photos I have taken lately. It was lovely to see a little moth quickly in my room before bed last night. A House Sparrow I saw today as I believe I recall them doing last year picked up some of Missy our dog’s fur who has had a recent shave in the garden, excitingly I think they are using it for nesting material. My Mum said a Blue Tit did similar. 

On a Lakeside lunch time walk in the eastern meadows (Wednesday is usually my one constant day being in the office to work but current Covid protocols meant I couldn’t go in today after my recent bout of it) I enjoyed hearing and then seeing the beautiful green tinted warbler in the third picture in this photoset, a Chiffchaff blending in with a few new leaves of delicious green on the tree. Not only seeing both Chiffchaff and Blackcap at local Lakeside in one week but getting photos of them both too with my big lens feels amazing. They are both such stalwarts of exciting early spring days and beyond, its a pleasure to be seeing and hearing them. Interestingly among other things lately like the recent run of weather Chiffchaff takes me right back to the first days of working from home and the first lockdown as they were everywhere two years ago. Last year I didn’t notice Chiffchaffs around here as much but had quite a stellar local Blackcap spring, so with them both having a strong start this week I wonder which warbler will reign supreme this spring for me locally? Hopefully a close battle. 

I had a look at the strong area of flowers on the verges near the road entrance to Lakeside and saw some delightful ones again. Following admiring and taking another picture the second in this photoset of the notably sized clump of what I believe is red deadnettle on the grass across the road, I was thrilled to see two more bright types of nettle, the yellow deadnettle or yellow archangel which I took the sixth picture in this photoset of and the lovely white deadnettle in the seventh picture I took today in this photoset. I was thrilled to see them both adding a strong splash of colour to the day, and the yellow one I was amazed by as I had never seen it before I don’t believe. It was truly eyecatching and I found myself so enthused to see it. Today it was a good day to really appreciate nettles and show with the beautiful variety of colours between the three with them in flower just how colourful and pretty they are. And of course how important they are like any plant. 

The primroses still hanging on, violets white and purple, the big daffodil and snowflakes which I have enjoyed here lately looked really good again with lots of snowflakes together hanging low in the grass which looked great and I tweeted a photo of on Dans_Pictures tonight. My first ever snowflake at Lakeside last year become one of my favourite spring time memories and this year I seem to have gone to a whole new level with them seeing so many at Lakeside which has been thrilling. Lesser celandine just clinging on, cowslip still looking great in numbers, daisies and dandelion looked nice today too.

I didn’t want to take many photos today with having a phone call with my Dad so less time to process and upload tonight so wanted to bring just one lens and with no sun was torn between my big or macro the latter a certain if sunny as I might have seen butterflies, I am glad I brought the big lens as the macro wouldn’t have been able to have the zoom for the Chiffchaff shot but the flowers which I would ideally use my closeup macro lens for seemed to still be doable with my big lens. I took the fourth, fifth and eighth pictures in this photoset of views at Lakeside today with blossom, greenery and gorse blending so well and the emerald glow of the vegetation looking stunning once more. A key theme lately which happened again today was seeing views I see from my room well from Lakeside including the three prominent thick trees visible in the scene. I got the ninth picture in this photoset of some stunning blossom in a nearby street that goes an amazing pink/purple colour I took a couple of photos of it.

Wildlife Sightings Summary: Starling, House Sparrow, Blue Tit, Robin, Chiffchaff, Collared Dove, Woodpigeon, Feral Pigeon by Lakeside well again, Jackdaw, Herring Gull, Greylag Geese flying past the house and a fly or moth tonight.
