SIR ANGELO AND OLALA'S FRIENDSHIP IS EVERYTHING TO ME 😭😭😭

[mushr00mcryptid]

Back with some more @penumbrabang art! This art was for the first fic I got assigned to called Tournament of Hearts by the absolutely amazing @acesaru !!

Guys. I was absolutely enamored with this fic from the first moment I read it and Saru is so great at capturing Ale and Angelo's personalities. If you are a fan of the Second Citadel storyline or if you just want to read a wholesome, wonderful pining friends to lovers story, read this. I promise you won't regret it. I have already read the drafts dozens of times and I can't wait to read the full edited version after work today.

I was so excited to draw for this and I hope you all like it! Read the fic here:

Do give me your thoughts in the tags! And reblog for bigger sample size etc etc etc

[crazydreamer6]

A gift for Readerofmuch on Ao3 and their fic are you sure about this?

Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun and creative twist on the classic Second Citadel S2 arc. Superhero AU for the win! Had a super fun time designing all the supersuits.

[ID: cartoony drawing of sir angelo the strong from penumbra podcast. he is a blonde, light-skinned man with green eyes, a weightlifter's build, a short beard, & chest + arm hair wearing a white laced medieval-esque shirt + brown breeches. /end ID]

on my sir angelo is a bear agenda

[waxworks1992]

POV you have challenged the two greatest knights friends and rivals in all of the second citadel and are about to get your shit wrecked in a contest of wordplay and/or swordplay

[arwcn]

things sir angelo the strong knows for sure

lizards are real

dragons are also real

but they don't lay eggs

new dragons happen when a lizard slowly grows bigger and bigger over like a thousand years and when it's big enough it magically grows wings and turns into a dragon as a reward for being so big

lord arum is a lizard

he's big (human sized)

he's old (hundreds of years old) (ancient, really)

he has one more set of limbs than the average lizard

if you ask sir damien when lord arum is going to turn into a dragon he runs away yelling for rilla

[hesperidiumsky]

what’s ur fav little guy?

I couldn't possibly choose between little guys, so have a list (not in any particular order).

1. Sir Damien the Pious. He has anxiety. He has religious trauma. He has issues with his father. Clinging to him like a life preserver.

2. Sir Angelo the Strong. Light of my life. Huphuphup.

3. Gerry Keay. He does arson and was a ghost for a hot second.

Honorable mentions:

1. Juno Steel. He's not so much a little guy as he is a lady who is a PI and also a space criminal.

2. Gavroche. Little guy of all time. Even if he's not my primary little guy at the moment, little guy of all time.

theres a character from the second citadel/penumbra podcast called sir angelo, and almost everything he says reminds me of bell, they are in such a similar category of Odd and Unusual Himbo

some quotes for evidence:

"(another character: Who are you again?) HA! I see. That's a joke. A jest. Because you clearly know me. Because everyone knows me. Because I am the greatest knight in the Second Citadel. Which everyone, including you, knows. (LAUGHING) I am! Sir Angelo! Obviously!"

"It's one of those optical delusions! (other character: Illusions.) Thank you! It's one of those illusions delusions!"

"Duty does not rest for man or woman or Sir Angelo the Strong! Who also fits into the first of those aforementioned categories!"

"It's.... Well, thats no good. I'm afraid I let the dramatic pause go on too long and now I've forgotten."

"Ha ha! Never fear, little creature! Sir Angelo the Strong is here to guard you! Unless... you have evil intentions, which I have been informed is a possibility! In which case... much fear, little creature! Sir Angelo the Strong is here to... well, to still guard you, I suppose, but... it would be a very different experience, I assure you!"

theyre like! the same genre to me (especially bell in the groupchat with "Ah, I see, a playful affectation of a trial. Amusing! I concur he is guilty, though I know not of what and am trusting Roman’s judgment." was SO angelo it was so silly)

(also also theres a woman who is also a knight in the podcast called sir caroline and her and bell are the only 2 times ive seen like women go by sir in fantasy so thats also fun)

asldkjakdljadd this man does in fact sound like bells long lost twin

You simply cannot fathom how strongly the penumbra podcast is squeezing my soul but I always listen to it when doing chores so I can't liveblogging 😩

SIR ANGELO THE STRONG YOU'LL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS

[dehydratedpercy]

hey hey hey!! i'm about to finish my umpteenth reread of preserve or raze and i just wanted to shower you with love because you literally cannot imagine how much i adore your fic oh my gods

first off. the characters sir. the characters. i like every single one of them more than in canon and that's saying something because i loved them a lot in the first place

jason grace? absolute perfection. hazel levesque? frank is the most relatable character ever because i too am such a damn simp for her. frank himself? ultimate best boy. and percy? *fanboy sounds intensify* yeah that should be enough of an answer. i love him your honour. nico di angelo? adored him back then adore him now. also long hair in a bun!nico lives rent free in my head. and annabeth? she's one of the only characters i didn't like much in the original books anyway but such kudos to you for writing her denial arc about percy, it was so amazingly written and god. truly all i can offer is admiration

not to mention how much i long to take part in those cuddle parties and movie nights with the gang

also hell yeah lesbian piper and rachel. you were doing god's work fixing the former character's writing tbh

and the plot itself is SO GOOD. like. it's not a coincidence that it can fully hold my autistic ass's attention all the way through even though it's 277k words at this point. it's truly one of the best things i've read and that is saying something because i read A Lot

so. god. thank you so much for this masterpiece!! and please keep going!! this book means more to me than you can imagine

(but ofc, please only do so within your boundaries and while putting yourself first - just in case it wasn't obvious /gen)

i hope you're doing well and that the rest of your day is gonna be great <3

all the best, jay

Hi jay!! This is an old ask, but that is only because it delighted me so much that I wanted to keep it in my ask box for a while to appreciate it.

"first off. the characters sir. the characters. i like every single one of them more than in canon and that's saying something because i loved them a lot in the first place"

YES let's talk characters. Rick did a great job setting up the basics, okay? Okay. He did great. It has been my honor to just EXPAND upon the basics, which, also, were mostly 13 year olds who didn't cuss. But they were SO badass, they really deserved better-- like, idk, to be in their 20s, to have mature relationship drama/hookups, to be even more dramatic and less goody-two-shoes, and yes, of course, to swear up a storm. FRANK DESERVES TO SAY FUCK.

You know those first few chapters of Mark of Athena (told from Annabeth's POV) where she sees Jason acting all regal (and yet still kinda fucked up), she sees Percy acting all buddy buddy with Frank and Hazel (and it makes her feel nervous/worried), she interacts with Reyna (and there's this weird underlying tension)? And its generally just about... two cultures combining and problem solving together and a bunch of characters we love acting hesitant around each other because they don't know who's a threat and who's not? Well, PoR was VERY inspired by those chapters. I read those chapters and went "You know what would be nice? 250k words of this" and then thats what I spent the next three years writing.

"jason grace? absolute perfection. hazel levesque? frank is the most relatable character ever because i too am such a damn simp for her. frank himself? ultimate best boy. and percy? *fanboy sounds intensify* yeah that should be enough of an answer. i love him your honour. nico di angelo? adored him back then adore him now. also long hair in a bun!nico lives rent free in my head. and annabeth? she's one of the only characters i didn't like much in the original books anyway but such kudos to you for writing her denial arc about percy, it was so amazingly written and god. truly all i can offer is admiration"

Hazel is chill but also lowkey magical and wonderful. Frank is 100% right to feel such strong admiration of her. And yes, Frank is DEFINITELY the best boy, and not only because he turns into a very cute pug. PERCY. Love of my life, waterer of my crops.

"and annabeth? she's one of the only characters i didn't like much in the original books anyway but such kudos to you for writing her denial arc about percy, it was so amazingly written and god. truly all i can offer is admiration"

Okay, the Annabeth thing is so interesting because I've heard a LOT of people say they didn't like her in the books?? Which shocks me, because I thought she was great. I really projected heavily onto Percy, but I liked Annabeth and their relationship a lot. I think fanon Annabeth gets a little messy, so maybe the issue is that people struggle when figuring out how to interpret her-- they either see her as really basic, or really controlling and mean. Personally, I think Annabeth is a lot more than either of those things: she's the type of person who's in touch with her emotions, but is constantly fighting between logic and emotions, deciding what is the smartest thing to do versus what is the thing she is most called to do. The people surrounding her at camp pigeonhole her into being logical, because "Annabeth wouldn't do something irrational" "Annabeth is smart, she should act like it" "Annabeth should always think things through". That's why she works so well with percy-- he DOESN'T think things through, he totally flies by the seat of his pants and acts on his emotions every time, even when its going to fuck him up. Percy shows Annabeth that it's okay to act emotionally instead of rationally-- that you can still get places that way. Annabeth lived a life where everyone else was holding her back, and then met Percy, and Percy was one of the first people who didn't try to hold her back. If anything, he encouraged her to push further, yell louder, and just-- be more.

So yeah. I do, genuinely, love Percabeth. And I'm glad this fic has made you appreciate them-- or at least Annabeth-- more ;)

"not to mention how much i long to take part in those cuddle parties and movie nights with the gang"

HELL!!!! YEAH!!!!

"also hell yeah lesbian piper and rachel. you were doing god's work fixing the former character's writing tbh"

THANK!!!! YOU!!!!! Look all I'm saying is. Piper and Rachel should've been canon. Piper's SUCH a hippie. The way she dresses, the way she thinks-- yes. She needs, NEEDS, an artist girlfriend. And Rachel-- UGH, you don't understand, she wants Piper so bad. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.

Should've been canon, I'm telling you.

"and the plot itself is SO GOOD. like. it's not a coincidence that it can fully hold my autistic ass's attention all the way through even though it's 277k words at this point. it's truly one of the best things i've read and that is saying something because i read A Lot"

I'm honored 😭🥰 The true miracle is that it held my autistic ass's attention for long enough to write that much in the first place, holy shit. This was a special interest to rival God. I have really, really loved writing it though, so I'm glad you've enjoyed it so much :') ❤️❤️❤️

"so. god. thank you so much for this masterpiece!! and please keep going!! this book means more to me than you can imagine"

🥰🥰🥰 Thank you!! And good news for you, these upcoming days/weeks I will be writing the remaining chapters and continuing/finishing this story! My current job gives me a LOT of free time so I think it's only right that I use it to give PoR the conclusion it deserves.

Thanks so much for the ask and all the love. I wish you wonderful reading and a wonderful day as well!

The Loyal assistant: first meeting

Alastair was walking down the street and looked around "where is this sick son of dog" he hummed, a large smile on his face. He needed to get some more power, he's been only been able to kill small criminals, but now... Now Alastair could kill bigger and bigger scum of the world till he had the power he needed.

He noticed the strong sinner he's been watching, his smile stiffening, "there you are... " he hummed starting to follow the man into a store going into the shadows to follow him into the back of the store that customers weren't allowed into. As Alastair slinked in the shadows, pulling out a knife from his waistcoat.

He watched the Mad Dog go up to the bunny receptist at the desk. "Hello there cutey, what's your name~?" The Dog flirted, leaning on the desk. The receptionist didn't even look at the target "mister Ellane yes? " she asked. "Sure is sweet cheeks" The target purred. Alastair glared 'disgusting dog' he thought. The bunny receptionist looked at the target and blinked a few times. "Just sit down sir, I'll try to get a hold of Angelo, but he's been busy and maybe won't have time to talk to you. Try to be patient" She said, looking at the target who nodded. The target sat down, smiling a bit as he put his hand behind his head, resting his elbows on the top of the chair. He kept talking to the receptionist until the receptionist left into the door behind the desk, seemingly to try to get a hold of the 'Angelo' person. After a few minutes, Ellane got up and started searching through the desk, seemingly trying to find something.

Alastair walked in the shadow, slowly coming up to the Mad dog, Alastair watched as the Mad dog pulled out a couple of thick folders filled with different papers before slipping them into his coat pocket. Alastair's eyes went big and his grin sharpened as he jumped on the mad dog and stabbed him, and again

And again

And again

Soon enough the Dog stopped moving and Alastair chuckled "you stupid mutt, trying to steal, and doing it so stupidly. "Excuse me? " a voice came out, a male voice, tho lighter then normal. Alastair's eye went wide as he looked at the voice, a very tall and curvy white spider starring at him.

"I can explain" Alastair said, shocked at seeing an overlord staring at him. the spider grinned and one of his hands extended "well? explain yourself... you did just killed a pretty big buyer of my stocks" the spider hummed, a cold anger in his voice.

Alastair pulled the Dog to be on his back and started pulling out different items he's been stealing, and finally pulling the two folders that he tried to steal from the desk. "I've watched him steal priceless things from people, so I finally stopped him, seems to be the right time" Alastair said, handing the overlord the folder.

the overlord took the folders and looked in it "nothing got lost" he mumbled and looked at Alastair then the dead dog "you're gonna clean up the mess you made, I can't have my models and agents coming in and seeing blood on the floor. after that, come to the back, you'll get led to my office, I'll give you some sort of reward for helping not getting our shit stolen"

Alastair's eyes went big and his smiled flattened a little "of course, I didn't mean to make such a mess " the spider laughed "My name is Angelo, I'll see you soon buck~" the overlord cooed before walking to the back, effortlessly walking over the blood and body; leaving Alastair to clean up the mess.

Nestled in the heart of Nazareth, Cagayan de Oro, 8thspresso is a cafe born out of passion and purpose founded by sisters Gemarie and Monique on August 12, 2023. What started as a pop-up with a modest ₱600,000 capital quickly grew into a beloved spot for locals, students and professionals. The name 8thspresso carries significance blending their lucky number '8' symbolizing infinity with the word “espresso” and reflecting its location on 8th Street. Challenges such as managing a growing customer base and dealing with WiFi and power issues the cafe overcame these hurdles with resilience adapting to meet customer needs. They even found that limited WiFi access led to a temporary drop in customers but by introducing new food items and maintaining a focus on quality they brought customers back. Miss Gemarie who manages daily operations and staff training is dedicated to ensuring every cup of coffee meets their high standards never compromising on quality. 8thspresso currently employs six staff members double from its initial team of three and looks to the future with plans to expand by selling coffee beans and opening more branches. The cafe’s welcoming atmosphere attracts a diverse mix of students, board exam takers, young professionals and LGU workers all seeking a space to work, relax or connect. As 8thspresso continues to grow the owners aim to stay true to their commitment to quality and community striving to become a staple in Cagayan de Oro’s coffee scene for years to come.

Founded by Michael Angelo Bustamante a marketing graduate from Xavier University in Cagayan de Oro, Sports Lab began in March 2024 with a clear purpose to provide premium sportswear for leagues and events in CDO with a special focus on basketball and e-sports. The name reflects their passion for sports likening the business process to a laboratory an environment for experimentation and growth. With their workshop based on Nazareth Street, Cagayan de Oro, and their warehouse in Libona, Bukidnon, Sports Lab is committed to producing high-quality sports apparel all meticulously crafted from scratch by their dedicated tailoring team. Starting with a capital of ₱500,000, ₱1 million with equipment Michael faced the challenges of learning the tailoring business from the ground up overcoming obstacles like miscommunication and stress through problem solving and teamwork. With a team of five Sports Lab has earned its reputation by consistently supplying uniforms to leagues and sports enthusiasts growing their client base through partnerships and strong connections in sports communities. Their marketing strategy emphasizes collaborations allowing the brand to expand organically. One of their milestones includes providing gear for different organizations and courts in CDO further solidifying their presence in the local sports scene. Sir Michael sees Sports Lab becoming one of the top sportswear brands in CDO in the coming years with a focus on staying competitive, adapting to trends, and treating employees with fairness. His advice to aspiring entrepreneurs? Start from the bottom, stay consistent with your work and always keep up with industry trends.

The Overruns Republik started in 2008 with an initial budget of ₱600,000 to ₱700,000. It operated as a cafe store but soon expanded into selling shoes. It now has three branches one in Pabayo and two in Divisoria with five employees. The business is primarily run by family members. Their marketing strategy includes live selling to attract customers. They struggled to get bank support but as the business grew banks began offering them services. The business allowed the owner June Ryan Duran to acquire both a house and a car. Sir June did not allowed us to take picture with him.

Kirby’s Magic Kanan owned by Kirby De La Cruz, has been serving the food needs of students particularly those from Xavier University since it started in 2006. With an initial investment of ₱200,000 this sole proprietorship began as a family business built with a focus on affordability and convenience. It has expanded to employ seven people offering not just traditional "karenderia" style meals but also food packages and catering services which have been a part of their offerings for almost three years now. Although the peak of their sales happens during lunchtime the business has noticed that students are increasingly gravitating toward food chains and coffee shops making it more challenging to attract regular customers. To address this Kirby’s Magic Kanan has shifted its focus to catering which now generates higher revenue than their dine-in services. Sir Kirby hopes to refine the business and position it as one of the top food stores and karenderias in Cagayan de Oro continuing to build on the legacy his parents started while adjusting to changing market demands.

MACDO Models is a modeling agency was established around 2010 with an initial investment of ₱15,000. The agency offers modeling services and has successfully produced some of the top models in the Philippines and Cagayan de Oro City. One of their major challenges has been the lack of binding contracts, which has led to some models transferring to other agencies. The agency has achieved significant success. Led by Zoey MACDO Models aims to grow and become more well-known throughout Cagayan de Oro City.

During our interview with these diverse entrepreneurs from Cagayan de Oro City, several insights stood out reflecting both the challenges and triumphs of small to medium sized businesses. Across industries whether food service, sportswear, or modeling each business owner highlighted common themes of passion, resilience and a commitment to growth despite market shifts and operational challenges.

8thspresso, the sisters Gemarie and Monique showed how their love for coffee and community allowed them to transform a pop-up into a beloved local cafe. Their challenges particularly around adapting to customer expectations for WiFi and service taught them the importance of listening to their patrons and making thoughtful changes. It was inspiring to hear Miss Gemarie emphasize how doubling their staff from three to six people wasn't just about expansion it was about maintaining quality service,which has always been the core of their business.

Sports Lab, founded by Michael Angelo Bustamante gave us a glimpse into the complexities of entering a competitive niche like sportswear. Michael was candid about the steep learning curve in tailoring and production but his story also highlighted how resourcefulness and networking in the sports community have led to sustained growth. His advice to aspiring entrepreneurs is to "stay grounded and work their way up" was particularly meaningful as it was a reminder that slow steady progress often outshines rapid but unsustainable success.

Kirby’s Magic Kanan provided an interesting perspective on adapting to shifting market trends. Sir Kirby's journey from a simple "karenderia" to a catering focused business demonstrated the need to stay nimble. His ability to pivot toward catering services in response to students leaning more toward commercial food chains is a testament to his keen sense of market demand and adaptability. It was clear that family values and consistency play a huge role in his success and Kirby’s long term vision remains rooted in growth while respecting his parents’ legacy.

MACDO Models offered an insight into the highly competitive modeling industry where talent retention is one of the biggest challenges. Zoey’s experience showed how success in this field is often fleeting without the necessary legal protections. The agency’s achievements in launching top models demonstrate their talent in spotting potential and nurturing it. The next phase of MACDO’s journey appears to be more structured with Zoey aiming for a stronger foothold both locally and nationally.

Through these conversations it became evident that while each business faced unique hurdles they all shared a common determination to innovate and grow within their respective fields. Whether it was through pivoting business strategies, expanding operations or refining their product offerings these entrepreneurs illustrated that success comes from a mix of persistence, adaptation, and a deep connection with their customer base.
