cyrus my favourite zelda character frfr

Fun fact before Totk came out I had some ideas and then it did and i kept it because I didn't like how they dropped all the shit established in botw darkest zelda game my ass I'm about to write a political usurpation based on the idea of divine right from a royal family who isn't so divine to the point where they get into a fight with the person they claim gave them the right to be God Queens/Kings that ends in a genocide against people who made the light magic robots that saved your kingdom because Nintendo is ready to say (IN CANON) That the royal family totally did that but we're not gonna address the consequences of it anyways look at our 2 cool royals we just made up to not deal with the shit we set up in botw and could of easily expanded upon but we dont want to act like the hylian royal family ever did anything wrong so!!!!!!!

Locking Eyes at Thirunallam

@harinishivaa 's Enadhuyire part 1 enabled me to reimagine AMV & Vanathi's first meeting at Thirunallam…hope you'll like it

 Arulmozhi closed his eyes and enjoyed the light breeze that ruffled his hair. Maybe coming to Thirunallam was a good idea after all. He was riding his elephant after a refreshing bath at Ponni. This was the only breather he could take before his family and the royal council bombarded him with marriage proposals. Why couldn't they understand that he didn't wanted to marry a girl right of the bat but needed time to understand that person before making such a critical decision. It was not only about the future of the Chozha Nadu but also about his future. And the future of the girl he was marrying. But apparently the council only cared about securing their positions as inlaws and strengthening their own status. He let out a deep sigh. No use getting a headache thinking about all this now. He came here to distract himself from the royal politics and to be with nature. Be with his Ponni. 

"Oh Yaanai Paaga!" Hearing a female shout he turned his head around and saw a woman standing near a big tree, waving her hands at him. "Come here, quick!" She called him over urgently.

A million thoughts passed through his mind. Who was this woman? She did seem familiar, judging from her clothes and jewelleries, he assumed she must be one of his Akka's companions perhaps. She didn't visibly seemed to be in any sort of danger but her face held an expression of fear and anxiety which made him hurry his elephant over to her. "Yes, what is the matter Devi?" He asked, giving her a reassuring smile. The woman blushed and seemed to be tongue tied, merely pointed her finger towards the upper branch of the tree. Arulmozhi followed the direction of her finger and saw a nest consisting of what looked like woodpecker fledglings, crying out as the nest was lopsided on the branch. "A wild cat attacked the nest" He heard her again, and couldn't help but note how sweet her voice was "I shooed away the cat but the nest got lopsided. Could you help fix it?" She looked at him with pleaded eyes. 

He nodded and touched the elephant's forehead and pointed towards the nest. The elephant, his constant companion in expeditions, understood his intention and using its trunk, slightly nudged the nest upright,the fledglings ceasing their cries immediately. The task accomplished, he looked around for the girl, only to find her missing. Has she gone already? He didn't even had a chance to talk to her properly, he was surprised to find himself so disappointed. 

"Penne, where have you gone?" He called out for good measure and was surprised when he heard a reply "I am here" He found her standing near the lotus pond, flashing him a friendly smile. "You have my infinite gratitude Yaanai Paaga" Ah, so she truly believed he was a mahout! No blame to her, since he was wearing ordinary clothes, ditching his princely attires so no one can report his wanderings to his Akka. He decided to see how much he could keep his act. "Don't I get a reward Devi?" He meant to lightly tease her, for what he didn't knew. The woman regarded him "Of course. I'll ask my uncle to appoint you to the highest position in the mahout regiment of the Kodumbalur army" She said genuinely and he felt his smile fade. Kodumbalur? And she mentioned her uncle. So Is this Vanathi Devi, the niece of Periya Velar and the Kodumbalur Kula Vilakk? Not to mention the first candidate in his Akka's list of potential brides for him. He allowed himself to look at her properly this time. Her purple saree complimented her complexion well. She was beautiful, no doubt, with an even more beautiful smile and big, doe eyes. She spoke with confidence although her cheeks were tinged red from nervous or shyness. Arulmozhi felt his heart beating out of his chest, afraid the Kodumbalur Ilavarasi might hear it. Nevertheless, he managed to keep his composure. 

"I'm truly glad to serve Arulmozhi Ilavarase, Devi. But thank you for the offer" He said and prepared to leave.

"What's your opinion of your Ponniyin Selvan?" He was pleasantly surprised by her question.

"Why do ask, Devi?"  She looked embarrassed. "I heard he has arrived at Thirunallam and I just wanted to know. Beyond the usual description of him as the Surya Kula Manikkam and Ponniyin Selvan. About his likes and dislikes and his pasttime activities and his favourite thevarams." 

"Why don't you ask him yourself?" Yes, now he was eager to talk with her and imagine her shock when he reveals his identity.

"Maybe I will" She said, saying more to herself than to him, gaze fixed on the lotus pond."I cannot marry someone unless I understand them as a person" 

"I was thinking the same" He realised he said that thought aloud when he saw her face him " Why? You're marriage is also fixed?" She asked genuinely.

"Ummm….yes Devi. Now, excuse me. I have to leave" He guided his elephant to turn around and walk, not before hearing her call out "Oh Yaanai Paaga, don't tell Ponniyin Selvan I asked about him" 

He suppressed a laugh and turned around to see her "Why would I tell him when he himself knows?" 

She gave him a puzzled look "What do you mean?"

"You'll know" He shouted back "Now let me go back to my Akka. She is very persistent, being the Ilaiya Piratti" 

He enjoyed seeing her confused look turn into utter shock and embarrassment and flashed her a grin.

Elizabeth (Elizabeth Mary Viktoria; Born 20 December 1932) was Queen of the Kingdom of Corrilea and the Corrilean Dominions, from 1956 till her husband’s abdication in 1989.

Elizabeth was born at the Fort of Drüg, as the only child of Albert II and Alix, the Grand Prince and Princess ofSchleswig-Wolfenbüttel-Kassel. In 1953 she married Crown Prince Jonathan of Corrilea, in a lavished ceremony at the Royal Palace in Avilion. Together with her husband she had two children, Catherine and Alexander.

In 1956, her father-inlaw passed and Elizabeth became the Queen Consort of Corrilea. As Queen, she performed her duties exceptionally well and soon become the most popular member of the Royal family, a title she held until 2002. After her husbands abdication, she continued Royal duties and supported her daughter in her role as Queen. After her husband’s death in 1992, she briefly retired from duties before returning in 2000 after the birth of her great grandchildren via Anastasia. After, her granddaughter became Queen, she took on the title of Queen Grandmother, to avoid confusion amongst the public. Even at the age of 90, she is still one of the hardest working royals having over 250 patronages.

As the only child of the Grand Prince and Princess of Schleswig-Wolfenbüttel-Kassel, she inherited both her parents and grandparents fortunes after the dissolution of the Germanic Empire. Due to this she is currently the richest woman in Corrilea with a net worth of $44.8 billion.

She is the 28 Sovereign Consort of Corrilea.

i like to think that polycaste is a very honest and genuine girl. she doesn't not dance around the truth or embellish it like the ithacan royal family tends to do. she'll just slowly blink at you and tell you exactly what went down with a soft voice and smile... while her inlaws facepalm. not because she is stupid or can't lie, just because she prefers being honest

YES YOU GET IT!! I adore the idea of her being the one not to constantly trick and deceive. Just very down to earth, honest, who will tell you the truth as it is. And then of course everyone kind of trying to figure her out, but there is.. not much to figure out really. No lies, no schemes - she is as she shows herself.

People credit Tywin's plan to capture Ned as smart, and say that it's just dumb luck Jaime caused his injury to keep him from falling in. But without Jaime's intervention, I thought Ned would have left the capital that night, so when he heard about the raids, rather than assume he had the protection of royal authority, he would be riding south with an army to help his inlaws. Am I wrong, or is Tywin's plotting only as good as Cersei's "save my family by hoping Robert gets fatally drunk"

Tywin's plot for this entire affair isn't very good, and Hoster Tully see through it immediately.

When Tywin begins, Hoster actively seeks out royal approval to act against Gregor, so instead of being baited into a trap, Hoster looks to secure royal sanction that forces Tywin to scramble for a new strategy. If Eddard marches, the outcome is in doubt - Clegane only barely won against Beric Dondarrion, he'd find a harder fight against the far-more-seasoned Eddard, who has command experience. He might have also taken Loras Tyrell with him. He didn't have the manpower to command his own contingent, but traveling with the Hand of the King as a member of his personal guard, handpicked to serve the Realm, not only makes House Tyrell predisposed to support the Starks but makes the Tyrells an enemy of the Lannisters.

If Robert had remained alive, he would have returned to have found Gregor Clegane, Tywin's favored butcher boy, acting as an open brigand, and that would have invited royal censure that Tywin would be hard-pressed to wriggle out of. While Cersei typically bungles everything and hurts her own cause, in this, her assassination of Robert actually preserved Tywin's hide, and true to form, Tywin doesn't even notice.

Thanks for the question, Anon.

I like the theory that legend and his Zelda being half siblings because it has a lot of potential angst and that for a long while both of them weren't aware of that fact because the question would be why was that hidden from them, why were they separated, why is zelda living in royalty while legend is living in a small house with his uncle why was zelda spared from Hylia's enemies wrath while legend had to fight them when he was a child. Was legend and zelda's treatment had something to do with the king's view of legend. After the two find out about that, legend gets a disdain over the king and fable (I think that's her name) feels betrayed that her father never told her she had a brother and so this causes legend and fable becoming much more closer because of sharing the feeling of being betrayed by king and those who knew but still kept it from them and down the line both of hating the fact hylia's blood flows from their veins and the possibility fable wanting legend to be in the castle and get a break from hero work, having him have talks in the royal gardens about what is in their minds and them just bonding in the castle and when word gets out and the nobles have to see legend as a royal now. And when fable meets reader and sees how legend is a yandere and so instead of trying to get reader away from legend for their safety, she helps legend get in situations where it's just reader and him, giving him expensive stuff to reader and tips to lower down the tsundere attitude towards reader and getting people to try to take the attention of the other members of the chain off of reader and when the two are alone fable just goes on and on how legend seems to like reader so much and how he would be a great husband( you know those people who try to get those they like to date their kids by telling them all the nice things about their kid yup its that with fable) when fable host royal balls she has people paid to find the members of the chain and try to dance with them and get their attention while the only two who who aren't taken just so happend to be legend and reader and when legend has the gusts to ask reader to dance the music starts from okay to sensual if you know what I mean. Just platonic yandere fable just see how reader is to legend and how legend has heart eyes over reader and just goes "yup you are my inlaw sibling now and no take backs" and the other zeldas who don't have a bad relationship with their links also being yanderes for reader. Artemis, dot, fable, dusk, and hyrule's zeldas trying to pare up their links and reader and maybe poly with sky,sun and reader anyone👀

There was one fic I read where they were siblings, but the royal family killed the males born bc Hylia only had girls, so Legend had to go into hiding and that was one of the reasons him and Wars didn't get along bc the Knights were the ones who did it and it was SO GOOD.

(Plus Wars was Wilds dad and it hit my family issues in the fucking FACE-)

Having the Zeldas be platonic! Yanderes seems like SUCH a fun idea to me bc they're fighting for their link to win for ONCE fhofnbf Or, like you said,POLY groups >:D Like Sky and Sun? MGHMGMG

OR TIME AND MALON-

French Style Chateau

Going once, going twice….the video will be gone soon, so check it out here!!

And for our final post from this lavish mansion, we will be looking at the Pris themed, hand painted hallway leading to the pool room, along with the the large inlaw suite on the other side of the large home!!

This mansion was built in 1985 on two lots in The Bridle Path neighbourhood of Toronto, Canada and was designed to resemble a French style chateau. The 30,000 square foot mega mansion had 10 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms, and was located on a huge four acre property that also included a tennis court. It also had a granite cobblestone driveway, a horseshoe staircase at the back and extensive gardens which completed the experience of living in a castle in France.

Originally built by Robert Campeau a financier and real estate developer. Robert began his career by building just one single house in 1949 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. His company then known as Campeau Corp was also responsible for building Scotia Plaza, a hi rise built in 1988 in the financial district of Toronto, as well as the Harbour Castle Hotel in 1975. In the 80s, Campeau began a series of leveraged buyouts of companies, both in Canada and the United States. The final company was Federated Department Stores, the owners of Bloomingdale's for $7 billion. This was the beginning of the end for Campeau Corp, as they filed for Bankruptcy in 1990, one of the largest in history. Robert was forced to sell the home in 1990.

The home was purchased in 2002 by Harold and Sara Springer who entrusted architect Gordon Ridgely, interior designer Brian Gluckstein, and landscape architect Ronald Holbrook to bring their vision to life. They brought in 17th century antique furniture from france, original royal academy paintings, Italian marble and even crystal chandeliers.

Other features of the large house included a two-story indoor Olympic-size swimming pool with a retractable floor that converts into a ballroom. It also had an elevator, an oak wood bar, recording studio and even its very own bomb shelter!

The mansion has been featured in several movies including Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's 'It Takes Two', 'Kissinger and Nixon', 'That Old Feeling' as well as most recently in an episode of Suits. A party was also held for Jane Fonda in the two-storey ballroom, which was then disassembled overnight so that Campeau could swim in the pool the next day with Pierre Elliott Trudeau.

The Springer's listed the chateau for sale including all of its contents starting in 2014 for $25 million and was last publicly listed in 2018 for $39,500,000. Finally, the home was purchased by Nascond Holdings in 2020 for $30.8 million.

Nascond Holdings is a company owned by the Muzzo Group which is a well known development company in the area. Marco Muzzo caused a drunk driving crash that killed four people and seriously injured two others. It was a very high profile incident several years ago, because of his ties to such a wealthy family. There was also a guest list of people found in the home including Marco's name as the host of the party.

The mansion was demolished shortly after my visit in August of 2022. Not much happened after that until more recently when some activity began to happen on the property. Ferris Rafauli who was also behind Drake's Bridle Path Mansion, is the designer and builder behind the new mansion that will take shape in the coming years.

I mean it's kind of obvious since I do run a whole blog about them. But other than Will & Cat - it's Mary & Fred and Vic & Daniel (I LOOOOVE THEIR LOVE STORY, that's another romance novel right there)

🏰: favourite royal home/palace

One that is royal is Holyrood Palace

And ik this isn't exactly Royal, but I will give anything to stay at Blenheim Palace

🎊: favourite royal tradition

Ooh there's so many! So a few of them are -

♡ the balcony kisses following the weddings

♡ christmas at Sandringham, summer at Balmoral

♡ the birthday galas they do in Norway and Denmark for the important milestones

✨: royal id love to meet

It has to be Catherine and William, I have been following them since I was kid, If I ever meet them idk what I'll do after that. Like that would be the peak moment of my life.

Another royal I wanna meet Leti. I just want to sit with her for tea and talk about the circus that her inlaws are, like I think she'll love to gossip about the Bourbons with someone from outside.

Ninja, I had the impression that the Jordanian royal family was exalting Rajwa too much. Especially Rania. Now I think they did it to convey the image to the world that this Arab royal family treats its women very well. I think that's why Rania made so many publications.

It's because of the delicate situation with the king's sister. They cannot make the inlaw-adjacent disrespected in any way shape or form.

Plus, princess Rrajwa deserves to be treated kindly. She changed her country, she changed her freedoms for a sweet foreigner, albeit a CP.

SuyaLight Master Post Part 14

I really like these two there’s not a lot of content for the fandom as a whole soooo here’s my submission as I get every moment of these two royals who literally share a braincell (and I love them for it) First up this is just on the manga if you are anime only its going to have stuff you havent seen, yes even with what the anime covers (so read it) and there will be spoilers so beware. If you prefer Demon Monk/Cleric/Leo (which I don’t really get) I am sorry this isnt for you. Lets go! Part 1 is here Part 2 is here Part 3 is here Part 4 is here Part 5 is here Part 6 is here Part 7 is here Part 8 is here Part 8.5 is here Part 9 is here Part 10 is here Part 11 is here Part 12 is here Part 13 is here

SO Suya pulls Twilight along on her nonsense and also father inlaw is here

ANd it's all cause she had a dream about this bath place

No matter how ridiculous he thinks it is he keeps following, also Suya admits she interupts meetings on purpose

Suya's dreams turned out to be true and she jokes a little

Turns out the former king had made it and the three enjoy it all while father and son bond

Suya calls Leo an old man again

Castle issues again I just like how Suya is front and center but Hades doesnt want to help this time

So Suya makes due

ANd it really impresses Twilight

SO she starts making little houses she knows what Twilight cares about

But she overworks and hasn't eaten I love how over the top Twilight is here

SO they make her food and Twilight serves her directly (now spoon feed her sorry its one of my fav tropes)

After she revitalizes Suya Suyas and goes over board making a castle town

And Twilight realizes she's completely right and berates himself for not thinking of it

He cutely makes it into a competition

But while he focuses on that SUya turns the demon castle to suit her tastes. In order to fix it Twilight has to use his full power and he's afraid to do so because he doesnt want other (particularly Suya) to find him scary

He thinks his fears are being realized

But SUya is just severely face blind

The situation is explained and Twilight is back to worrying

But as always SUya throws him through a loop I like that she considers him pitiful

This eases the mood of everyone else but more importantly Suya seems to like this form

And she begins playing with him like usual

Twilight realizes that everyone has calmed down over his second form since Suya did

He is touched by this thinking he'll be able to maintain the state of the castle while looking cool but

SUya ruins it.

Chapter 61 Review

Well that was a long time coming. Given how many are all at faults to one another and how they kept lying until now. I'm sure they have some regrets for dragging them here.

I'm happy for Yuu to take the blame since he did dragged the other first years.

Also, will Idia and Azul also get punish? I'm sure the rest of the housewardens are still angry at them for lying. I'm sure Yuu will get back at the two for not helping him out

Haha...love how Sam joins in the tweels for some entertainments. He surely love to see all the drama around in school.

I love how surprise everyone is once they learn Tsunataro is Malleus and that revelation is epic. Yuu does deserve him.

Ace being the realistic person he is especially now they will have to see Malleus and Yuu arguing each other.

Trein witnessing his son talking to someone that might ended up being his inlaw must be a pain in a neck.

Also Agatha is all along song makes me think of some of them singing. Maybe Jafar. The villainess truly deserve that series after Wanda series just hope it doesn't make it worse.

Love how Kalim is defending them. Kalim should give them a reward for being his heroes especially the awaiting punishment.

Yeah, revealing that the djiin is the sorcerer wouldn't end well even with evidence. Because no one will believe them about one of the great 7 being responsible for this misery and how it also affect their views on the great 7. Like seeing the possibility that the rest are also as bad as the sorcerer.

It's a good thing Jamil embodied his tactician and prediction as his dorm spirit (rather he likes it or not) to prove that it is all prevent the royals on interfering and without getting Kalim punished.

Also, will Jamil get punish or something? Even without him killing Kalim, he still responsible for the poison and spell drive.

Yeah, it's Vil's time to shine with Yuu and Kalim. Poor Jack and Epel, Vil is angry at them.

Hahaha...even when Malleus is mad at Yuu, he still gonna protect him.

I mean Yuu could have said they burn the treasures, that would be a good laugh.

I translate that part and man Yuu misses his mom during Christmas. I hope Trein gives him a good yule day.

I love how one thing everyone can agree on is Yuu leaving made them angry and protest.

And, if Jack, Ace and Deuce were smart, they wouldn't tell the truth to their family either. So it was most likely that Deuce and Jack were going to be grounded as well. 

Well Jack lives a normal family life so his parents will be upset and with Vil around, they might punish Jack. For Deuce, his mother didn't want him to do any trouble and get hurt thinking she failed as mother again. So punishment for Deuce, sorry. Curious that Ace wasn't included. Then again, he is mysterious and hard to tell if what he said is true or not. We know about his brother and a bit about his father, but what Ace is like growing up? Geez, Chapter 7 better have some Ace content.

Also, love how Jamil POV regarding Ruggie and Najma, his close ones and how he watched the video. Seeing the confession makes things for complicated but love how Kalim and Jamil are able to be each other's friends without holding back.

Oh cool, djiin magic! Can't wait for harveston!

-🧋

Yuu tried to shield the others from the worst consequences of their actions. But in doing so he did put himself at odd with the others outside of the Scooby gang, and even with some member of the Scooby gang. Sebek isn't going to appreciate Yuu lying to get him out of trouble. And yes, Malleus is still going to protect him, I couldn't help add in that cute gesture from him. Anyway, there's still a lot to deal with. And Yuu is really emotionally drained right now. The growing absurdity of his life is taking a toll on him. He's also missing his mom and dad. so yeah, he's really feeling blue in this chapter.

Jamil is slowly getting into damage control mode but he did not expect a confession and new powers to boot! And poor Kalim accidentally managed to confess in the most embarrassing way possible! Oh well.

[akumanoken]

Ann isn't one be given a gift & not return the favor! A kindness given should also be a kindness received! Sakura is a very soon-to-be inlaw, a distant member of the royal family, so truly there is only one diamond that would suit Sakura best.
