Hi! Can I ask how the novaturient ros in crushing stage would react to getting caught under the mistletoe with mc 🥰

Hello lovely! This is a very cute question <3 I’ve done this in the relationship stage.

K: would be completely flustered, eyes darting around to make a note of anyone watching. However, it wouldn’t take long for that possessive part of them to decide that this presents a great opportunity. They would (gently) grip the back of your neck and drag you in for a deep and languid kiss, before nipping at your bottom lip as they pull away. “…you’re so perfect.”

A: would laugh, before silently asking you if you’re okay with this. If you signalled yes, they’d slide their hands to your back and tug you closer into a sweet kiss. Once free of the mistletoe, they’d keep you close to press more kisses over your face. “Just proving that no excuses are needed for me to kiss you.”

Reese: would have a mischievous glint in their eyes. They’d lean towards you and then stop, tilting their head as if they’re pondering actually kissing you. Reese would then pull away as if to keep you both trapped there. It would probably get to the point where you’d get so annoyed that you’d yank them into a kiss yourself, which you quickly realise was their plan all along when you pull away to them grinning at you. “You wanna kiss me so bad…”

Luisa: would heave a sigh. She thinks this tradition is pretty stupid, but she’d feel bad if she saw the disappointed look on the mc’s face. Luisa would tilt your face towards her and press a chaste, but oh-so-loving kiss against your lips. “Only for you.”

Cody: would give you a cheeky grin. If they knew that you were okay with it, they’d 100% put on a show for anyone watching. Their hands would be tangled in your hair/digging into your scalp as they devoured your lips. When they let you back away for air, they’d still be grinning. “Aren’t you lucky you got caught under here with me.”

Noah: would be utterly ecstatic, pulling you in a little too quickly and making you practically crash into their chest. They’d apologise and press a quick kiss to your cheek, before freezing and pulling back to start yelling about how that didn’t count. They’d frame your face with their hands, and catch your lips in a kiss long enough to have you gasping for breath when they let you up for air. “You know, I’m not sure that one counted either.”

Care to share some facts about the ROs?

Luisa

⟡ Luisa is music obsessed, and her favorite genres are rock and folk.

⟡ Luisa loves old horror movies, but the silly sort of horror like Dracula or Frankenstein. She binges them every Halloween.

⟡ Luisa loves to go bowling — it's sort of a guilty pleasure of hers, she loves it. She would love to go on a bowling, appetizers, and drinks date.

⟡ Luisa’s love languages are quality time and gift giving.

Drew

⟡ Drew is great at science. It's a bit uncanny. Luisa calls him a weirdo for the amount of information he can retain about environmental sciences.

⟡ Drew loves to cook, and is amazing at it. Maybe it comes from working at a restaurant his whole life, but cooking has become one of his greatest skills. He's quite the pasta expert.

⟡ Drew loves the beach. He would have so much fun going on a beach picnic date, relaxing under the sun and wading in the ocean.

⟡ Drew’s love languages are physical touch and acts of service (especially cooking for someone!).

Lorelei

⟡ Lorelei has always wanted to be an influencer, but doesn't have the time. She thinks it would be so much fun to have a youtube channel where she vlogs, gives makeup tutorials, and films videos at the beach.

⟡ Lorelei loves Blondie. She knows every Blondie song like the back of her hand.

⟡ Lorelei loves escape rooms, and thinks a date at a complex escape room would be a dream come true.

⟡ Lorelei’s love languages are words of affirmation and gift giving.

Oscar

⟡ Oscar collects old film cameras, and knows quite a bit about them. He knows much about the history of film in general, and loves to share that knowledge.

⟡ Oscar loves to paint, but he's not very good at it. His art is barely better than stick figures and distorted apples, but it makes him happy, so he keeps trying to get better.

⟡ Oscar loves museums, and wants to go on a museum date with someone and then stop at his favorite sushi place afterwards.

⟡ Oscar’s love languages are quality time and words of affirmation.

Ronan/Ruby Hall

⟡ Hall loves learning languages, but always gives up. They have a whole list of languages they someday want to be fluent in, but it's too much to take on in their current situation.

⟡ Hall loves to read, specifically thriller books. They're always on the hunt for independently published books specifically, and like to read what deviates from the mainstream.

⟡ Hall has watched Carol a few too many times, so their idea of a date is a roadtrip where you emotionally connect and realize you're soulmates immediately. Maybe it's unattainable, but one can dream, right?

⟡ Hall’s love languages are physical touch and quality time.

[what-eats-owls]

What's the birth order of the Ros family siblings? And was it ever stated in the text?

Oh heavens, I'm not sure if it was ever explicitly stated beyond "___ is the oldest" and "___ and ___ are twins" type stuff, so maybe it could have been puzzled out with one of those "John, Susie, Steven, and Jane are going to the movies, John HATES popcorn, Susie is sitting next to Jane" grids?? But for simplicity's sake, here's a rundown under a cut for spoilers.

Oldest to youngest, their age as of Painted Devils, and what they do:

Katrin (F) - 28, runs the family horse farm w/husband and 3 kids

Jörgi (NB) - 27, runs the family forge

Jakob (M), Udo (M), Luisa (F) - 26, triplets; weaver hedgewitch, sheep farmer, and housewife respectively

Ozkar (M) - 25, artificer warlock

Eida (F) - 24, seamstress

Helga (F) - 22, hedgewitch and midwife apprentice

Dieter (M) and Erwin (M) - 21, small-time bard and general laborer, respectively

Sånnik (M) - 20, helps on family farm

Henrik (M) - 19, monastic scholar

Vanja (F) - 17, ??? Profit

A little bit of sugar (and lots of poison too)

Yeah, I remembered this exists. Angst is coming here

Warning for Blood/gore and Major character death

"Isabela?" The young woman, winces, staring up at her aunt. Right now Pepa is an unspoken leader oh the household. As both Abuela and Mamá have fallen, because of somebody... She shakes her head, ditching the thought away.

There was no words to describe how bad Pepa looked. Black eyebags sat deep in her sickly pale face. She looked almost white, emaciated to the point when it really terrified Isabela, the edges of the bones were visible through the thin skin of her arms. Was Tía losing weight from anxiety or just so she would be a less attractive food, Isabela couldn't tell. 

Isabela gulped, stepping back from the fence. "Tía, you should eat something, you look ill," 

"Can't force myself to take a bite." The older woman said, taking Isabela's hand. Isabela couldn't argue with this. She barely could eat herself. "What are you doing?"

Isabela's eyes shifted to the candle. The small flame waved like a child who just got a candy. Engraved butterfly flickered in gold, flapping its wings. The same candle that saved Abuela many years ago. The same candle that kept them somehow save for now. The same candle that made Luisa invulnerable.

"Casita said we'll lose our gifts if the candle is gone." Isabela breathed in explanation. She didn't have to look back at her aunt to see her reaction. The cold wind smashing against her was enough of a reply.

"Isabela!" The thunder clouds thickened over Casita, laying with the cold shadows. "We can't just..."  The ginger woman groaned, leaning on the fencing of the second floor. "The miracle is what kept us save!" 

Now, with weather lightening her strict exhausted face, Pepa looked a lot like her mother. The same hard steadfastness, refusal to navigate.

Isabela snarled, her plants bloomed around, breaking free from her emotions. "Right now it keeps us extremely unsafe!"

The thing was obvious. There was no hope of defeating her sister like this, and it didn't seem that Luisa intend to stop her cannibalistic habits any time soon. Isabela didn't want to lose her powers too, rip the magic's wings off. But it at least gave them a chance of surviving. 

They don't say anything for a while. Isabela feels a strong wind messing her hair. The flowers lie of the floor, ripped off the beam.

"Luisa would be very strong even without a gift." Pepa whispers, rubbing her braid. Orange straids falling out from repeating movement. Isabela isn't sure. Okay, her siser might be an oversized giant, but how strong will she be? "I don't want you to..."

Isabela shakes her head, laughing. She can't let her fear show. She is Isabela, she can't be scared of Luisa. "I'd lay her on her shoulder blades with one arm." Just look confident. Tía already has two kids, Isabela didn't want ro make her even more worried. She pets her aunt's back in support. Just a thought about Luisa was enough to make her her stomach twitch. But right now it isn't important. Isabela has to fight for her family. She can deal with a little unsetting feeling. "Can you get the rest of the family somewhere safe?"

Rain drops from the sky. Isabela clentches her hands, everything will be fine.

"You won't believe what I had found!" Luisa broke into the room, excited. 

Dolores groaned, rubbing her temples.  "I'll become deaf with you one day." She fixed her coily straid behind her ear. 

Luisa chuckled and waved her arm in neglectful sorry. Eyes glimmering. "I think I had found a Ancient Greece monument!"

Isabela rolled her eyes, leaning back to Dolores to continue theor usual gossip. She would deal with her sister later, it wasn't this important right now.

Mirabel put whatever she was embroidering away. "Luisa, I love you, but if Ancient Greeks had any relation to Colombia, then I'm a humanized miracle."

Luisa bumbled under her nose, upset with the lack of interest. Not like Isabela could blame Mirabel. Luisa was literally the only person who cared about some things that Ancient people had done somewhere when they existed.

Camilo tilted his head. Even if it wasn't anything related to Greece, he couldn't care less for that, it could make a great stage. Or just be used as an inspiration for a show. "Where is it?  What did it look like?"

Luisa smile grew back, happy that at least somebody believed her. But, as she opened her mouth, it faded as fast at it appeared, replaced with a rapid twitching of her eye. "It was... I can't quite remember..." She muttered fixing her bun. "But I know I saw it! It..."

She couldn't remember. No matter how hard she tried, the thread was slipping out, cutting her fingers raw.

Mirabel stood next to her, concerned. "Luisa, are you okay? You didn't overwork yourself again? Should I call Mamá?" Again, motherly as she was, taking Luisa's big hand with a tiny palm.

Her head is spinning. Hatch, symbols, forest. It's all melting in her brain. She has been trying to help! Right! ¿Quién es ella?

I want to scream, but my lungs are dry, withered into two rotted bags. I feel how my body shinks,  getting out the dirt. Trying to clean itself. I know I can't. What's happening to me? I'm fine, I'm completely fine. (She is okay)

She is frozen in my arms, almost breathless. My big hand squeezes her shoulder until the bones are cracking. Fingers tearing magnenta fabric. And blood is sinking from the nail scratches.

"Mija, how about you rest for today? You look unwell."  

I wheeze, coughing the answer from my tranchea. "Don't worry." Forest thickens over my head. Bones snapping together.

Past and present are mixing together. What am I doing? The dry red stinkes on my fingers slips underneat, staining the wooden stand. I push it, breaking the surface. My mind is cracking, craving meat too much to care.

Everything is totally fine.

Pain what was broke her back. Luisa's breathing hitched. Was she moving? Was she existing? Her hand frantically touched her back. Then looked at it. Red and sticky, freezing to her fingers. She tried to speak but the words couldn't coen out of her sore throat. Trying to blink but she just clised her eyes, not remembering how exactly it was supposed to happen. There was some sick feeling inside get guts, but Luisa still didn't proceed what happened enough to realize it.

This time pain came into her stomach. Luisa hunched over, staring at her big sister.The knife that had stabbed her clanged against the floor as it fell out of Isabela's hands. What the hell was she doing??

It was enough to just clean the fog. Luisa froze, not moving. Not daring to breathe. She did... something bad. What have she done? Something...  Why don't she remember it? Her vision flickered. Luisa stumbled back, her irises shrunk, for a moment seeing blood running up her arms. A torn body falling out of it.

Luisa's breathing got labored, her hands grabbed onto her hair in distress. Feeling wetness in her eyes. There was something wrong with her. There was something wrong with her and she didn't know how to fix it.

"Isa..." She looked back at her shocked sister. Seeing deep bruises on her neck. The trace of a palm that was too big to be anyone but Luisa's. Fabric on the shoulders torn. What was she supposed to say? What if she just hurt her again? The taste of a meat, human meat, was stuck to Luisa's throat.

What if she slipped back to that state? What  if Luisa got back into that gutwretching hunger, drowning without a way out? Luisa coughed out the disgusting black thing, whatever it was. It clung to her fingers, against the lond-dried blood. There was something wrong with her and it wasn't fixable. She would... Today or tomorrow, it would overtake again.  "Isa... You have... kill me, please." Her voice broke,  feeling so weak. Maybe blood loos was fatal already, but she didn't know that.

"...what?" Isabela stumbled back. Heavy breathe running out of her chest. Yes, it was the plan. Kill Luisa so who's left will be safe. But there was a difference between killing somebody who acted like a murderer with a heart of stone, barely resembling human in her behaviour and... And killing Luisa in mental anguish. Killing somebody who begged for it. Because now Luisa was... Luisa again. She was Isabela's sister. It was so much easier if Luisa kept acting like she used to. Unresponsive to any words, not reasonable.

"I don't want to hurt anyone," Luisa cried, hunching over inder the weight of her soul. "What have I done? Why... BELA, PLEASE," hot tears burned her face, irrigating the dry eyes. She would just eat somebody alive if she's alive. She would hurt her family, who survived by now.

Isabela didn't want to hesitate, she wasn't supposed to. But she didn't want to kill her sister, only now remembering that it was Luisa. Here, right in front of her.

But, sometimes you had to push your oen feelings aside. There was no win in this game for both of them. No one could score them and say who was better.Isabela had picked up the knife. It's blade dripped with blood. From having stabbed Luisa twice. The first time when she tried to attack, the second from the rduh of adrenaline.

"Get down..." Isabela breathed out, feeling the wetness in her eyes. If she didn't know better, she would think she was crying. But... it was stupid, right? No, she wasn't...  "I'll... try to make it quick."

Luisa didn't dare to say a word, to looks into Isabela's eyes. Feeling the weight of guilt on her back  She kneeled, making the height difference between them disappear. Now staring onto the floor. It was getting wet with the sprinkles of tears. The metal pressed against her pale cold skin.

It was hard. Isabela didn't think anything existed. Only her hand that pressed a knife against her hermanita's neck. You will bleed fast from here, right? She tried not to think about it. But it was hard. Isabela clenched her teeth. One second. It would take just a moment. (That will last forever). Isabela pished herself by bare instinct, digging the knife deeper into the neck. And the blood has spilled out, escaping the wound.

Isabela felt it clinging to her body hot and disgusting. Rooting deep under her skin like a weed. She gasped in horror, clinging to Luisa who was loosing so much blood. And Luisa wasn't in a better mental state than Isabela at all. The latter felt her dress getting wet in where it was pressed against Luisa's face. Isabela's cried into Luisa's hair. It was painful, it was wrong in so many way. 

Luisa fell, a heavy limp weight on Isabela's body that was dragged down with it. Isabela was alive, survived. But she didn't think she was survivor at all.

Off topic, but just in case anyone is interested: I blogged a blog about Luisa Roldán's Education of the Virgin. It's a rich locus for a discussion of Catholic concepts of sacred time, sacred history, and gender roles.

SD characters + Hispanic first names

Made this a while ago for fun, so I'm just saving it here!

Disclaimer: The names I chose are purposely very common/generic names-in real life of course there's a ton of variation and nuance for Spanish-language names based on the various cultures/traditions. This is just based from my experiences (as a Mexican-American), plus I even peaked through Mexican telenovela character lists for inspiration for common/generic names that people give characters lol, so that'll give you an idea of what the names on the list will be like.

What would the RO’s get mc for Valentine’s Day? 👁

K: would try to make something homemade like jewellery (again) or an item of clothing and it would be an absolute disaster. Ends up making you a basketful of cookies. Will give you the homemade disaster as well and hopes you’ll appreciate the thought. Eventually they start asking their mums to teach them.

A: takes the time to find something you really love. Whether it’s books or films or stuffed animals etc. and then they’ll buy a bunch of them and make them into a bouquet or basket.

Reese: is a menace. 100% makes those cards like ‘coupon for a free hug’ ‘coupon for a date to the planetarium’ etc. but they can’t be normal about this so they’ve got some in there like ‘coupon for a hour of me singing Barbie Girl badly at the top of my lungs’.

Luisa: has no clue that valentine’s day is a big deal the first time and panic buys you a weekend away after A (gently) scolds her. Becomes a tradition to go away to different places.

Cody: isn’t a fan of valentine’s day, but they’d definitely use it as an excuse to buy you some new outfits and make up a care package of luxury spa goods and makeup etc.

Noah: goes big or goes home. Tony Stark’s teddy bear the size of a house style, you know. They may go extremely overboard, but it’s all out of love and a total lack of awareness of space <3

Project Management in the ESG Era: Achieving Goals and Surmounting Obstacles

We are an ESG Award, issues in business and investing have grown in significance to motivate corporations to behave responsibly. The term "ESG" describes a collection of standards used to evaluate a business's corporate governance, social responsibility, and environmental effects. This should assist decision-makers in determining whether to consider social, corporate governance and environmental issues. These days, it's critical that businesses consider how to do business by including sustainable and ethical practices in their marketing plans. ESG may make a significant contribution to this challenge and aid in promoting ethical business practices. Furthermore, these methods must be advantageous for enterprises' long-term viability, society, and the environment.

In our role as Sustainability Awards, due to the global concern of ESG, this topic was not just acknowledged, but actively discussed and shared at the Global Project Profession Forum, a collaborative gathering that took place on September 21–22, 2023, in Seville, Spain. The IPMA convened this global event, bringing together project management experts and organizations from around the world to discuss and exchange knowledge, ideas, inspirations, and experiences on emerging trends, innovation, diversity, and best practices in project management. The first day of the forum featured a panel discussion on the subject of 'Project management and ESG', which drew a large number of interested attendees who actively participated by raising many pertinent issues with their questions.

To help you as ESG Awards, Experienced speakers offered their insights and helped clarify some of the points raised. Mr. Jose E. Reyes, VP of Marketing and Awards at IPMA, moderated the panel. Mr. Wolfgang Glitches, a project management lecturer at Technosphere Universität Berlin; Ms. Maria Luisa Munoz, an engineer from GRI Towers Sevilla; and Mr. Cornelius Matthes, the chief executive officer of Dei Desert Energy, Dubai, were introduced as the speakers. IN his opening remarks for his presentation, Ro-Thinking Project Management Circular Economy,' Mr. glister emphasized the pivotal role of project managers in shaping the future. As the world's population grows, so does its need for resources. To save resources, people must alter their behavior, and project managers are the ones who can lead this change.

As a Sustainability Award, Project management must be expanded to include the circular economy and remanufacturing, which present an extended triangle of restrictions that include social responsibility, environmental soundness, and economic viability. Additionally, there are two viewpoints that are included in the art of ESG project management: The sustainability of the outcomes is tied to what is delivered. The sustainability of the project's processes is correlated with how the project is managed. As a result of absorbing resources, creating a product, and then having waste when these items are used, we deliver project results into closed structures today. According to Mr. glister, just a few processes are circular nowadays; most are still linear. Every speaker concurred that the governance aspect of the ESG is difficult and complex, but social and climatic challenges have made governments more aware of the need to find answers.

In our understanding as ESG Award, it’s critical to fortify interpersonal relationships, actively engage the neighborhood, and cultivate trust. Experts in the field of project management are in charge of overseeing the expenses associated with these endeavor’s and looking for feasible solutions. It comes down to integration; a comprehensive perspective must incorporate every significant element. Wind towers and solar plants might significantly decrease the cost of energy supply. Mr. Reyes concluded that people are becoming more aware of and interested in ESG practices. Adhering to ESG practices such as IPMA through ICB4 and other standards benefits the nation and professionals.

(Atropellado texto que si pretendo tomarme el tiempo para escribirlo bien, nunca lo escribo, y pos ni modo, o escribe uno o vive… mejor vivir!). Notas rápidas del día del 10 de mayo:

Hace unos días viniendo en el carro, regresando a casa con Gera en el asiento de atrás después de un día complejo para los dos, empezó a sonar esta canción de mi lista “2024-2” de Spotify, “Till there was you” de The Beatles:

Empezó a sonar y le dije a Gera “esta canción te la dedico”, la dejé correr y después de un rato voltée a ver a Gera en un semáforo y me soprendí encontrarlo en lágrimas, y me dijo “te amo tanto”… maravilloso momento!

Hoy por la mañana estaba en la caminadora del gym y empecé a reflecionar en cuanto al “10 de mayo”; Tom le dijo ayer a Gera que es un día que como mexicano no debe olvidar, jajajaja y sí, aunque aquí los 10s de mayo son eso, el décimo día del quinto mes del año, para un mexicano es EL “10 de mayo”.

Ahí mismo en la caminadora recordé ese día en el carro con la que creo es, en mi opinión la más bella canción de los Beatles (los Beatles que apenas hace unos meses Gera descubrió realmente, y que es cuento para otro día). Me acababa de echar un trago de agua y tuve que contenerme para no ahogarme con el trago, mantuve el agua en mi boca, me agaché y me tomé de los barandales de la caminadora para poder controlarme al recordar el momento. La belleza de aquel recuerdo se me juntó con el hecho de que me di cuenta de lo significativo que fue para mí (además) compartir con Gera una canción en inglés que ya ahora a mis casi 52 años entiendo la letra, y todo lo que ello significa y por lo que he tenido que pasar para que así sea junto con el hecho de que el destino ha hecho que Gera la entienda también en su totalidad y juusto unos minutos después de que había yo recibido los resultados de un exámen de inglés que hice hace un par de semanas, y que también es cuento para otro día.

Algunas de las cosas “sobresalientes” y maravillosas de este día fueron…

Encontrarme con un mensaje en Instagram de hace ya varios días de mi querida complice Anabel que no había leído recordándome que ser una misma y ser feliz es el mejor ejemplo que le podemos dejar a nuestros hijos y a todxs, gracias Anabel!

Mi querido Beto, que nos quedamos sin mamá fisícamente casi en las mismas fechas  y que me mandó esta canción hoy con la frase “viernes para festejar, así que a bailar” y si! De hecho ya en la mañana Gera y yo nos habíamos hechado una bailada antes de salir de casa.

Mensajes de gente querida felicitándome por el día de las madres, que agradezco de personas que me estiman y aún sabiendo que soy parca para las celebraciones, se toman el tiempo de escribirme, pero no puedo dejar de resaltar el mensaje de mi parnita Ros, siempre mandándonos bendiciones y el de hace apenas un rato de mi Comama Etel… Gracias a todxs!

El mensaje de Tom felicitándome y agradeciendome… yo agradeciendole de regreso.

Levantándome y recordándo el día en que Gera como de 30 días de nacido, yo sentada en el sofá dándole de comer, y que hasta entonces después de un mes muy difícil para mí estrenandome como mamá, lo miraba y me decía “lo volvería a hacer”.

Ahora corrigiendo, afirmando que ser mamá de Gerardo me define como persona, algo en lo que no creía antes de ser mamá; me define así como ser hija de Ma Luisa me define y definirá hasta el último día de mi vida.

Y por último, me pregunto hasta cuándo dejará de pasar, si es que deja de pasar, que ande yo por ahí caminando, manejando o lo que sea, y de repente me suelte en un mini llanto con la cara compunjida tratando de pasar desapercibida; Gera tal vez sería el único que podría adivinarlo “ah, se esta acordando de Ma Luisa” o “Ma luisa está apapachándola con un recuerdo”.

I blogged a blog about Luisa Roldán's Education of the Virgin. It's a rich locus for a discussion of Catholic concepts of sacred time, sacred history, and gender roles.
