these models are so lietpol to me

[hiveswap]

hey, what the fuck is happening over there [hungary]?????

oh, god hi fens it's a mess

europe is having eu parliament elections, which are kind of a big deal and every party here is campaigning to have their candidate sent so that they can influence eu policy or whatever.

At the same time, there's a new party called "Tisza" (both the name of a major river and an acronym for "purity and freedom") lead by a young former government politican called Magyar Péter. He's ridiculously popular rn. Dude knows how to move crowds and wants Hungary to catch up to eu standards which we are definietly not reaching under Fidesz (current govt. party) Obviously I don't trust him entirely but they've got a legit chance of making things better and that is GOOD.

Other parties exist as well, but they've got no relevance, no voter base, and nobody wants them: These include Mi hazánk (nazis) and Kétfarkú kutyapárt (two tailed dog party) who are there for the meme and nothing else, their candidate showed up in a leather jacket to a debate and made jokes the whole time. (iconic) There's also a bunch of others but no one likes them all that much

Still at the same time, Fidesz has been at power for 12 fucking years. (one thing Tisza wants to do is limit this to 8 years max for future elections) And they've got this fucking country in the middle of a mass hysteria episode.

Their talking points include:

George Soros/Soros György is sending (arab) immigrants here to rape women and do crime and he pays leftist politicans to do this for him. And this is good for them because...? (they are cartoon villians dont question it pls)

2. Bruxelles (eu parliament) bad because they do gender and immigration (because of George Soros)

This George Soros thing got to the point where the current eu rep. went to a debate and accused all other candidates there, to their faces, of being paid by him. like, to their faces live on public television.

3. THE WAR -> according to our prime minister Orbán Viktor, all other parties except them want to bring back the draft and send hungarian boys to Ukraine to fight (absolutely deranged idea, no party wants this, they keep saiyng they don't) and also he's saying that Europe is heading towards a third world war and they are going to change this if they get into the eu parliament (they are in, right now, too.)

This has gotten to the point where they've got posters and ads about how there is going to be war and only they can save us. Magyar Péter appeared on tv saying he's been approached by a teacher whose students, 9-10 years old, were afraid that a burning house across the lake from their summercamp meant we were being bombed by Russia. (He's a politican so take this anecdote with a grain of salt)

...Anyway the chatch is that the govt. has allegedly been sending hungarian soliders to Chad this whole time so theyve got 0 right to say anything about them potentially being sent to Ukraine maybe.

4. Child protection from i guess queer people..? This one was big until recently, they banned mentions of queer people from schools, (before florida did btw) removed self-identification for trans people, ect.

This child protection "GENDER IDEOLÓGIA" (no we don't use the word gender in hungarian, they just left it in english) campaign ended when our president pardonned a pedophile children's home headmaster a few months ago, sparked an outrage, and had to step down. They've yet to apologise to the kids, btw. (The president in question, Novák Katalin, what a fucking girlboss, belonged to that far right Mi Hazánk party i mentioned before btw) They haven't been talking about protecting the children since, strangely.

there's also going to be a battery factory in Debdrecen (2nd largest city) which everyone hates and nobody wants and it's polluting the farmlands and the groundwater around there.

SO. YEAH. yay for hungary this is barely scratching the surface

[horn-of-leo]

would it be alright to ask if you have any saint seiya headcanons? love your art btw!

OMG THANK U!!!💖💕💗 ^w^ ALSO OHOHOHO you do not know how much power you've given me here >:3 I have SO many headcanons to share about this series because I'm so normal about it

oh gosh I dunno what exactly to get into tho cuz I have alot and this post will be soo long if I tell like everything I got but I got a bunch of funny and cute stuff for the main 5 (tho I'd be happy to share any other specific characters headcanons on another post if you or anyone in general is interested)

Anyways my headcanons for the bronze saints! :D

Did a lot of the obvious headcanons where everyone is aged up a bit+unrelated ('cept of Ikki and Shun ofc) because it's dumb how improbable it all is

Ages:

-Seiya-16, 5'3"

-Shiryu-17, 6'0"

-Hyoga-18, 5'10"

-Shun-16, 5'6"

-Ikki-20, 5'8"

Seiya

-Bi king

-Shortest/Youngest of the team

-He knows how to play guitar because Seika taught him how

-After being stabbed with the sword of Hades, the others go on a journey to find Apollo to heal Seiya. While he manages to get Seiya out of his coma, the effects of the sword still effect Seiya from time to time if he over pushes himself since Hades’ power is that strong

Shiryu 

-Also bi king 

-Half Chinese/Japanese

-Grew up in China but was recruited by the Graude foundation and moved to Japan

-He likes to sing but gets shy when he's put on spot, Seiya likes to tease him about it

-He was blind fr but water of life/seventh sense brings it back

-During his fight with Krishna while he only gets partially blind and he's able to heal by the Hades arc(I've also put longer in-between times where the plot happens so they get to have more freetime to live)

-During this time, he had sunglasses/a cane(usually when he's in crowded areas)

Hyoga

-Gay

-Grew up as a city boy

-One who had most memories of his mom since she died when he was 10

-Probably one of the later ones recruited into the Graude Foundation

-Usually stays in Russia with Crystal Saint and Yakov during times of rest (my ver of Crystal Saint lives and he just used to be a saint back then but retired, plus Yakov is his kid)

Shun

-Trans, Pan

-He becomes the Pisces saint in my version cuz fuck canon

-He likes drawing and painting 

-Out of Hades’ vessels, he's the one who's come closest to resemble him. 

-He looks like him during Hades’ youth apparently, though no one would really be able to tell considering the circumstances Hades had grown up in

Ikki

-Ace

-The Virgo saint in my version 

-Number 1 HyoShun hater/j

-Remembers his parents, both died in a car crash when he was 5 and Shun was a couple of months old

-They stayed at a relative's for a bit but were treated badly, plus strange occurrences began to happen involving Shun where dead things would suddenly just turn up around him that further added to the mistreatment. So Ikki took Shun and ran away. 

-Ikki was besties with the black saints too because I think their dynamics would be super funny

Altogether hcs

Pals Dynamics 

-Everyone is great as a group, it'll be Seiya who'll usually initiate meetups as a whole group or sometimes they'll all just run into each other when going out somewhere 

-Ikki never texts in the group chat because he doesn't have the app they use. 

-He only calls people which is also still rare. 

-He'll be the type who calls at the middle of the night to drive somewhere random. 

Hyoga: *sleeping* Hears his phone go off and he sluggishly picks up.  Hyoga: “Who is this?” Ikki: “Wake up and get ready. We're going somewhere.” Hyoga: “Ikki?! It's in the middle of the night!” Ikki: “I'll be there in 5.” Hyoga: “Did you call me because no one else picked up?” Ikki: “…” *Line ends* *A few hours later Hyoga sends Shun the number used to call him* "I think this is your brother's number..."

And that's how the gang figured out Ikki had a phone. They all had to figure out his phone number through just passing it over. 

One more phone shenanigan, one of the first people he calls is Shaka when he gets a phone but he doesn't own one ofc so the only next option would be…

Aioria: Hello? Ikki: Are you with Shaka right now? Aioria: Excuse me? Is this Ikki? Also why would you assume he'd be here with me?! Ikki: I asked are you with Shaka right now? *silence* Aioria: Yeah... 

-Ikki and Shiryu are the only ones in the group who are really awkward with each other. They always need a third person to balance them out

-Ikki thinks that they're cool, but Shiryu doesn't appreciate his type of banter  

-Shiryu doesn't have good sarcasm skills because he's too earnest. If he throws shade, he'll just low blow you 

-I feel like at least Seiya, Shiryu, and Shun keep in touch with the other 5 Bronzes

-Probably most frequent person they run into is Jabu

-Apparently, Jabu goes through a goth phase

Future Bronzes

-Out of the main 5, Seiya is the only one to become promoted to a Gold Saint afterwards since everyone else retires. Though they still can use the armor if they need to. 

-Shiryu settles down as a farmer 

-Hyoga ???? actor AU????, He's not the type to share about his personal life so his childhood is a mystery to the world and the only info found of him from back then was his short-lived wrestling career(lol) during the Galaxian Wars

-Shun and Ikki don't take the armors either, I like doctor Shun so I'll keep that

Body types

From ripped to leanest: Shiryu, Ikki, Hyoga, Seiya, Shun

Shiryu- Clearly the most physically fit of the five. He punches like and is a tank but he's also very agile despite his frame. 

Ikki- Has a stocky build with broad shoulders. Definitely had to fight the most so it's been building up for years. 

Hyoga- He's not huge but he has a pretty fit and toned body. Probably from all of the swimming. 

Seiya- Still more on a muscular side but still pretty lean compared to the other buffer dudes. 

Shun- Just lean, he's not great if we're talking raw strength-wise but has more defensive skills to make up for it.

Sleep headcanons

Seiya- Heavy sleeper, snores a lot, he's the type to starfish and hit people on accident, making sleepovers somewhat of a nightmare. 

Shiryu- The type to fall deadly silent and still when he's asleep so that people think he's dead. Luckily, he's a light sleeper and won't be too hard to wake up. 

Hyoga- He lightly snores but is a sleep talker and will say some of the craziest shit ever and never have any memories of doing so. 

Shun- Most normal sleeper out of the bunch, but is deathly scary when being awakened. The gang will swear Hades is still in him from the dirty looks he gives if he's disturbed. 

Ikki- The type of bloke to go snork mimimi.

Cafe Orders(these were from my sister since she's an expert in the field because I'm not a person who goes to cafes regularly)

Shun- Matcha Latte

Shiryu- Oolong Tea

Hyoga- Caramel Frappe

Seiya- Lemonade Refreshers

Ikki- Unicorn Frappe (joke)

I probably have more than this tbh but these were the only ones I've written down so far!! I love them all so much so i have this long list of random stuff haha thank u for asking me to share!!! QwQ

[ayamari-no-goshi]

I was going to make a post about Revenants, but, you know what, this is just going to be a post about the number of BS ways one can become a Revenant and/or vampire (as the folklore isn’t always clear) in Slavic and Balkan folklore. I’ve only included ones where I’m aware of how they’re created. There are a lot of revenant/vampiric creatures in this part of the world than are listed here.

Please note, in some areas of a country, the various terms are interchangeable, but are very different entities in other areas of the same country. You will also see a lot of similar words - this is due to language similarities. Also, the idea of 2 souls appears a lot - folk who have this are also said to have 2 hearts

Also, Hungary is not considered a Slavic country and will not be included.

Long post, so line break:

Albania: Note: while not excusable, this was an area where a lot of damage was done during the Ottoman conquests and was part of the Ottoman empire until 1912. Please keep that in mind

Liogat/Liougat/Ljugat : created upon the death of all Albanians of Turkish descent. Does not matter how they lived their lives

Sampiro: created upon the death of all Albanians of Turkish descent. Can also be created by Albanians who committed an “unnatural act” in life. Examples are, bestiality, homosexuality, prostitution, transvestism, heterosexuality with a Turkish person, consuming meat handled by a Turk, being a habitual liar, or being a professional thief

Shtriga: a vampiric witch and not actually dead. Created from a woman who has become evil through envy or never marrying.

Vryolakas: created when an animal like a cat or dog jumps over the body before burial, person dies by murder or suicide, a person eats meat from an animal killed by a werewolf, or was an evil magic user

Belarus:

Mjertovjec: created when a witch or werewolf died. Uniquely similar to the Filipino Manananggal

Bosnia:

Blut Aussauger (originally from Bosnia, but brought into German lore.. and the German term is what’s used): created from either tricking/force feeding people to eat its burial dirt, eating meat from an animal a wolf killed, committing suicide, dies unbaptized, dies a witch, leads an immoral life, or if a nun walks over the grave (wtf?)

Bulgaria: Note: It’s very common for these creatures to take 40 days to form after death in Bulgarian lore.

Krvoijac -  created from a person who drinks wine or smokes during Lent.

Obour/Obur: traditions varied. Sometimes this ran in families. Sometimes it was created from someone who died suddenly, specifically of murder. Depending on region, this term can refer to 8 distinctly different creatures.

Opyrb/Opirb: created from folk who had improper burial rites, had a cat or dog jump over the dead body, a shadow fell on it before burial (I have no idea how this is prevented), a violent death, or sometimes evil people.

Ustrel/Istral: created from a child born on Saturday but died before being baptized.

Croatia:

Kosci: created from the death of a drowning victim, adulterer, or murderer

Kozlak: created from a child who was weaned before its time and died

Pijavica: created from a man who committed incest with his mother, or a particularly evil person

Vrukolak: (from Dalmatian region) - created when the victim of a Vrukolak dies, by being murdered without anyone witnessing the crime, or when a cat or dog jumps over an unburied corpse

Former Yugoslavia (Czech Republic and Slovakia)

Muroi - created from an evil person. Also similar to a Banshee - rings bells and calls the names of folk, who end up dying.

Nelapsi - specific to the Zemplin district. Created from someone with 2 souls

Upir - created from someone with 2 souls. Some areas state they were a witch in life.

Greece - included simply due to how old the legend is. Reported in ancient Greece.

Vrykolakas: traditionally revenants. Created by improper burial rites, something was left unfulfilled, they were cursed, or were seeking revenge against things something done to them or their families.

Macedonia:

Note: while not excusable, this was an area where a lot of damage was done during the Ottoman conquests and was part of the Ottoman empire until 1912. Please keep that in mind.

Ariogourouno: created from wicked Turkish people who never ate pork

Vryolakas: created when an animal like a cat or dog jumps over a corpse before burial, when a person dies by murder or suicide, if a person eats meat that came from an animal that was killed by a werewolf, or when an evil person who used magic dies

Poland: As a note: areas Poland have a history of looking for signs upon birth to mark folk as something similar to a wise man or shaman. Over years, these signs influenced some of these legends.

Mwere: specifically of Kashubian lore of north central Poland – created from the death of an unbaptized children. Girls are more likely to become one

Ohyn: made from children born with a caul and teeth and died shortly after birth

Strzyga/Striga/Strzygoń - person born with 2 lines of teeth and/or 2 souls becomes one upon death

Upiór - a person born with 2 lines of teeth and/or 2 souls or someone who had a defining feature marking them as ‘off’ becomes one upon death. Or, folk cursed before death, dying suddenly, dying in childbirth, or having a grave desecrated could also create one. Also, in some areas, it’s specifically stated they’re made when a male child who was born with teeth dies. Examples of what was ‘off”: being born with a caul, being a red head, being left handed, having a strange mark on the body, etc.

Vjesci: created from a person born with a caul or teeth renounces God on his or her last breath.

Wieszczy – made when a child born with a cleft palate and either a caul or teeth dies. As a side note: this creature is similar to a Banshee

Wili – created when a bride dies on her wedding day

Romania: Note: there are a lot of regional variations of the word Strigoi. Also, the term Moroi sometimes appears, but the descriptions of it are so varied its hard to place exactly what this term references.

Moloi - created when an illegitimate child is killed by one of its parents

Muroni - created when a person dies a violent death, was a magic user in life, was a child born out of wedlock to parents born out of wedlock in life, or died from a Muroni attack

Pricolic: can be created from a child dies before being baptized, or person burns a porridge spoon, or sweeps dust from the home out of a doorway and into the setting sun (that is insanely specific). BTW, this is the undead variety. The wolf variety… is born of an incestuous relationship and has a tail

Strigoi - there are both living and dead variations of this entity. Living Strigoi are sometimes considered witches or sorcerers, but the 2 soul tradition also comes up. If there is a 2nd soul, it slips out at night and causes havoc. Dead Strigoi (strigoi mort) bring misfortune, illness, and death to their families. Examples of how one can be created: suicide, cursed by a witch, born with extra nipple or tail, have a life full of sin, never married, be born as the seventh son of the seventh son or seventh daughter of the seventh daughter ((this can also make werewolves)), child born out of marriage, born too early, died before baptized, having red hair and blue eyes, being born with a caul...

Strigol: created when a magic user dies

Strigoiul Muronul: created when child born out of wedlock to parents born out of wedlock dies. Always a redheaded boy

Varacolaci: can run in families. Can also be created from an unbaptized child who dies, or a person who commits suicide.

Vukodlak : created when a heretic, magic user, or werewolf dies. Can also be created from someone who commits suicide or was murdered.

Slovenia - did not find any distinctly unique to Slovenia that are stated to be created from people

Ukraine - did not find any distinctly unique to the Ukraine that are stated to be created from people

Creatures found in lore of multiple countries:

Lampir/Lampiger/Lampijer/Lepir (Bosnia/Montenegro/Serbia): created from the first person who dies from an epidemic or plague

Navi (Bulgaria/Poland/Russia/Slovenia): created from the death of an unbaptized child or a drowning victim

Veshtitza (Montenegro/Serbia): created from a woman who practiced magic in life

Creature of unclear Slavic lore

Kruvnik: created when a person was not properly mourned or does not have proper burial rites, committed suicide or was evil. Sometimes this is a person with 2 souls. Very neat side note with this one. They sometimes return to their wives. If the wife accepts him for 3 years, he will become human again.

hey! you don’t have to answer this, but i know close to nothing about hockey and my family and i have never really watched it and i’m starting to get very interested, but i have no idea where to start 😅 what do you think i should focus on first, as a newbie? what should i absolutely know as a fan? what teams are pretty good in your opinion? again, thanks for your help if ever you see this p.s: i really love your posts and they bring a smile to me face, so thank you for your hard work! <3

Hi!

Ohhh well. First of all. Welcome to the nerve wracking, nail biting, jaw clenching, gut wrenching, heartbreaking and utterly incredible world of (ice) hockey. Angry muscle machines on skates chasing a tiny rubber puck in the nhl and their goddess equivalents in wnhl - what’s not to love?

You’ve decided on a hell of a year to join. Due to Covid, the normal system was paused and a recent bubble playoffs series played and later won by Tampa Bay Lightning a few weeks ago. The new season would’ve begun last week but is currently expected to start around December.

I’d say the best starting point would be to watch some games - YouTube has a lot of highlights, game compilations etc. and browse hockey tumblr. Hockey tumblr is a great combination of hockey gossip, game reviews, fans sharing their love, passion and (hateful) opinions about players, clubs and the sport in general.

My personal team faves are a handful - you see, the league is “split” into two conferences - east and west and within here a few other divisions dictating who the teams will play on a more recent basis. The clubs in the nhl being split over North America and Canada means a lot of ground to cover and therefore it’s split like this - time zones, distance and whatever. So maybe decide on a conference first? East or west.

I’m an eastern conference gal meself, but the west sure has its merits too.

So. Teams. You’re about to start a rumble here 😂

I am a personal fan of the Pittsburgh Penguins 🐧 they play good hockey, in spite of their idiot general manager (I’ve got posts detailing why he’s an ass hat extraordinarie). They’re captained by Canada’s hockey savior, Sidney Crosby: hockey robot, yellow crocs enthusiast , triple gold member (youngest captain to get all three?) and the goodest boy in the league. He’s been heralded as the next great one yada yada since he was about 5? And shot pucks into a dryer back in Canada - with that came a lot of shit for the poor guy who, in his own words, just wants to play hockey. And he’s good. He’s got his team of French Canadian d-men (letang, dumo), a whole lot of goalie drama which seems to be a pattern and his Russian (husband) assistant captain Evgeni Malkin who’s got the cutest kid, a really cool wifey (seriously her insta is 10000 better than geno’s own) and a wicked sense of humor which he conviently hides behind his “English big bad today” excuse to avoid media on a daily basis (he’s played this card since his wild escape and temporary defection from Russia back in 2006) seriously google it. It’s wild. They’ve won three cups since 2009, they’re contenders in the playoffs most years and their pr department provides some hilarious videos of captain Canada and his Russian (husband) A. It’s a true love story. Sue me. We’ve got an intense rivalry with philly and the caps. Seriously. That orange flyers jersey is intense - even if philly’s mascot is the next president.

Funnily enough, my strange obsession with Russian hockey players have led to the most disturbing but developing club crush on the Washington capitals who are the penguins’ nemesis.

I mean, this club led by the one and only gr8 8 mr Alexander Ovechkin is a rollercoaster of emotion and hot daddies in skates armed with sticks and a murder Swede.

So. Washington caps used to be a joke in the league until they went and drafted mr ovechkin first overall, brought him to the capital and let him do his thing. He’s got a rep for being a hell of a lot of fun on the ice (if you’re on his team) and one of those players that people love to hate (even if they can’t take away how freakishly good he is at hockey) - look up his impossible goal(s)! He’s an exuberant, fun loving Russian with a heart of gold and a missing tooth. In 2007, the caps went shopping for a center just for ovi who needed a playmaker and a slap shot feeeder - they went and drafted the Swedish angel (maybe assassin) (Lars) Nicklas Backstrom - and the purest hockey marriage was forged. The actual words (we needed a center for ovi and ovi wanted backstrom) have been said. Yes, these two Are now famously the mama and papa of the caps and they have a roster of unruly (and handsome) hockey babies with the fighting menace Tom Wilson, bird impersonator and Russian cat Evgeni Kuznetzov and a whole army of other adorable (albeit hockey playing menaces) babies. Most recently they had the leagues daddiest daddy goalie Mr Holtbeast as the fun and handsome canadien cowboy uncle but he’s ventured to Vancouver to adopt a new group of hockey babies. To compensate, the caps went shopping in New York and brought the one and only king Henrik from the crease in msg to be the goalie mentor for baby Russian caps goalie and to keep the daddy energy flowing.

(Seriously why are Swedish players part time models? Their national team strategy is to be so handsome the other teams are distracted. It’s a thing. Look it up)

I also love a handful of other players on other teams (I really don’t dislike any team in particular - but you’ll meet some dedicated and strong minded fans here)

Erik Horse Johnson, Cale Makar and Nikita Zadorov (Colorado Avs - zad have recently been traded to the blackhawks (not sure how I feel about that). Phwucking fun team. Who needs teeth anyways.

Marc Andre Fleury (Vegas now but hell always be a penguin to me)

The Russian gang in Tampa - and giant Swede victor Hedman (seriously he’s massive)

The canes (Carolina) and their collective of Finnish and Russian babies (aho, svech) with chaotic Marty and former penguin Baby Staal as captain

And a whole lot of others too. It’s hard to choose.

The Dallas stars and the most precious bean of them all (Russian) dobby - Anton khudobin their backup goalie turned playoffs hero and fashion icon. The man said we’re not going home and threw the entire team on his back and dragged them to the final. And their homoerotically charged captain and his alt captain and their Hollywood epic soap worthy relationship. Stallions, people, Stallions...

Btw we like to project our brash queerness onto this league. You’ll learn why quickly. There’s only so much talks about hot hands, slick moves, eternal love for teammates and quite frankly obscene (sexy) amounts of kneeling, roughing (let’s face its it’s just aggressive cuddling) and teammates honorably defending teammates.

Anyways. I love hockey. He. Sorry.

Fun fact I’ve dragged @canesinthecrease kicking and screaming into the hellhole that is the caps and I’m working on convincing @dontpuckwithme about the incredibly sexy thing that is Russians and Canadians being secretly married in Pittsburgh.

Great, sexy, amazing, cool, smart and wonderful hockey ladies to follow for even more amazing content on more clubs (the hurricanes - also a team I’m starting to love). They’re my queer sherpas and emotional support network.

Hope you can use this dear (new) hockey friend and mutual 💖🐧

[thedailyvio]

Every now and then I feel bad for giving 0 context for anything, so gonna quickly summarize my story stuff under the cut

The Traveler’s Found (TTF)

Skye, Gill, Marth, Kydin, Leo, Kira, Krieg, Heiwa, Narcissa, Sebastian, Vadim, Bahemek, Xenon, etc

TTF is hard to summarize because it has 10 story arcs and they all lead into the other, but the plot begins with ‘A wizard terrorist attacks the king of Hou’lu sending two girls on a quest to stop him’ which sounds so simple doesn’t it -sobs-

 Very adventure, political intrigue, slice of life elements

They basically travel all over the world, and I’ll quickly summarize what that’s like by listing each countries major influences

Hou’lu: Italian Renaissance, China

Sunobor: Medieval Germany, Japan, Inuit

Haldon: Folk Mexican, Folk Italian

Lavynna; Byzantine, some inspo from India to structure of things?

Gehinna: Ancient Hebrew

Parappa: Egypt-Germany

North Desert: Russia-Arabic

Harpies (more a tribe): Maasai

TTF of them all gets the most complicated but very incrementally, so it’s the hardest to express much on. But they get a cool hard magic system based on 10 elements so

Also TTF dragons are sentient, intelligent, and morally complex

The Miyoré Schism

A prequel to ttf by about 900 years

Faolan, Mien, Enlai, whatever I name the girl, Jiao

The plot here is a bit simpler

What happens when the one who pulls the blade only those Chosen by God can touch is among the race of people thought to be destined to serve?

This focuses largely on the Sha’li of East Hou’lu. As a race they have very distinct white hair, pale skin, and red eyes. At this time in history, monster taming was very common as well, so most the characters have a family or personal monster. Sha’li also have an ability to become “invisible” but in actuality they are lowering their ‘presence’ or ‘noticibility’ to all non-Sha’li

This story draws largely from Tibet for its aesthetics

—

Kingdoms

Ariella, James, Charles, Kiba

I have uprooted a lot about this story and not yet relayed it, but so far

A girl who wanted to become a soldier but was refused strikes out on adventure to do what she can for her country on her own- but to her chagrin gets a tag along

This story likely will have a soft magic system, and is definitely still based on Victorian and Japanese aesthetics. It’s actually a specific era of Japanese history but I can’t remember which. Possibly 16th c?

Despite this, it’s a low tech world.

Most fantasy type creatures/races do show up in Kingdoms, unlike my other stories

Dragons exist in Kingdoms but are universally evil and nobody has ever killed one

—

Magic and Cannons (MnC)

A wip name still

Cusick, Agathe, Romana, Kordell, Levi, Maureen, Ames, Sung-jin

I’m still figuring put the plot to this honestly, but the first bit is definitely

‘A narcissistic man is captured as a PoW and must find a way to escape’

There’s just three countries of any importance to this world, and it’s much less whimsical in nature than the others, being closer to reality in some ways, and having a lot more tech. Though it vibes as subtly cartoony in how characters have slightly exaggerated aspects to their personalities and behaviors.

Delemar is the country Cusick is from and is based on Wild West in many ways, they’re a very independent people which can be good and bad, they also give no hecks about safety and are pretty wild in general

Choson is where Romana is from and they are much more interested in normalcy and order, which can be both good and bad. They prefer reptiles and fish as pets to mammals actually, which feels important to mention. If you know much about history, I suppose it’s clear they draw a lot from Korea for aesthetics.

Choson is also a very mixed population in terms of race, which Delemar is very much not.

Kievan is where Agathe hails from and is based on Russia. In each case I tried sticking to 1850s-1900s ish for my influences of these countries, though socially they are very diff.

Kievan has an affinity for wine and is the only country that appreciates using electricity for power. They have harsh winters, especially compared to the other two countries which tend to be more tropical in climates. Kievan is less developed so far, but they tend towards legalism there, and while that can be bad, they are also the one not involved in a pointless war, so

MnC is what I call glasspunk, Delemar and Choson rely on ‘reactions’ for their energy sources, which I can only explain as ‘you know how if you mix two volatile liquids, they could explode? They harness the energy from such things’

This is possible because their magic system is a type of alchemy which has allowed them a lot of reactions not available to us, and with this they’ve been able to get treated glass which is nearly indestructible, great for containing anything they need.

Magic is still something within the individual, but in MnC the extent of what it does is change the properties of whatever you’re touching with your hands. If you specialize in using this and inventing things based off of things with changed properties, you’re called a mage.

MnC has a lot of strange tech this way, including trains, vehicles, customizeable guns, staves that through weird tech stuff can have sort of elemental effects, etc.

Electricity is not compatible with reactions btw, because it can cause them to explode outside of when they’re meant to, kinda like smoking by a bunch of canisters of gasoline, it might be a lil risky. So societies that use reactions do not use electricity and have things in place to get rid of it, and societies that use electricity don’t use reactions. Combining them can get cool tech, but is inherently risky.

oh whoops I went off there, huh. Oh well it’s not seen as often as the other types of societies/magics I listed so

Dragons in MnC are animals (technically wyverns?) and have been domesticated to be work animals. No fire breath but they do have a strong venom, I think a neurotoxin type?? And the insides of their mouths are orange 👀 oh and the domesticated ones are reflective like mirrors ish

—

Children of the Little Mine (CotLM)

Geno

This is the only one I plan to make a novel, because it’s set in 1950′s-1960′s New York City and I don’t care about those aesthetics at all

I don’t have it planned out very far for plot, but basically a gremlin thief boy of 17 has a strange ability to manipulate how gravity effects him, and seemingly nobody else in the world has this. But one day during a break and entering situation, Geno finds another boy with an ability, and from there they decide to try sticking together a bit to figure out why, and maybe put together a heist against a mafia boss in the mean time (two stealy boys)

This is very close to being historical fiction aside from abilities, which are /extremely/ rare in this world. I’m very inspired by Artemis Fowl and A Separate Peace for tone, and plan to have middleschool boys as my target audience. Though I love fantasy and such, this one’s still a bit close to my heart anyways

Anyways literally nobody asked for this I just do this to myself. I seriously wanna start practicing comic making skills, but I can’t do that too much for a daily thing when I can usually put in an hour at best. I’m trying to find a sweet spot for it all, but it may yet be awhile before I can post literally anything that sheds light on who the heck any of the chars I post are.

I want to though, and I’ve been running this blog for years now, so best to assume it’ll get there someday. I have still written a lot and planned out things, so progress still happens behind the scenes. Aside from the last few months but that’s not uncommon for this time of year. If you actually read this, thanks euchjsd I don’t think many will, but having it here makes me feel a bit better

“This is a NES compatible machine that has been erased from history”

Once upon a time, I basically acquired every single book on the subject of video games that went to print. Which wasn’t all that very often, so it was easy to keep up. Well, not so much these days, though the primary reason why I don’t feel compelled to maintain a complete library is due to the fact that most cover the same ground, generally speaking.

Obviously the best ones distinguishable via the amount and quality of research that’s put forth, as well as their points of interest… there’s a lot to say about the Famicom, for example. But what about Famiclones? There’s no such tome, but there might be one day! And courtesy of… a chiptuner? Yet not just any chiptuner, but one of the founders of the modern Japanese movement, Haruhisa Tanaka, aka Hally!

For anyone who hasn’t been paying attention to his Twitter account as of late, Hally’s been posting various photos, and asking various questions, regarding the wild world of bootleg consoles, specifically the ones that hail from Taiwan between 1977 and 1990. Which will be covered in Volume 1…

Some of what Hally has been sharing may be familiar… or perhaps only feels that way… whereas some is new to a seasoned vet such as myself. The most important thing is his attempt to connect the dots and fill in the blanks, which there are a lot of. This involves Hally asking out loud, on Twitter, if anyone out there is familiar with such and such, like the Creator 75/IQ-801...

Guiding his way, to a certain degree, is some kind of “Taiwan Exclusive Database” (according to Google Translate). Which is where this mystery machine is listed. Hally initially notes: “it is strange for NES compatible machines. Rather, as of 1987, the streamlined design so far is too futuristic. Even somewhere like a mega drive.”

Later, Hally would come to realize that the assumed Sega connection has merit: “the company that registered this is called Seika Electric, a company that has been manufacturing Sega subcontractors since the Mark III era… Moreover, there are cases where this company actually registered client designs.”

Alas, some are a total mystery, like Famicone from clone from 1988; other than knowing that it’s from some outfit known as Dar Yar Electronics, it would appear nothing else is known, at least not yet…

In certain cases, maybe most, the info is out there. The problem is, “the model number, time series, and the relationship between the sales company and the development company are quite confusing.” Like with these Famiclones that simply go by Konami; this first one also goes by Seniton System-1 and was created by Fujian Seniton Electronics Technology in Taiwan, but initially for mainland China…

Whereas this second one goes by the Seniton Super Mode-3, the HiTex HT-767. the Game World JA-003, or Game Soldier 007, depending on where in the world it appeared. Including China, Korea, Russia, and Taiwan…

FYI/BTW: even though it was designed in Taiwan, it wasn’t until someone chimed in and confirmed that it was indeed also released there, hence why Hally is using Twitter as a primary source.

Here we see some joysticks that was developed between 1989 and 1990…

And after asking if anyone knew anything, one person pointed out the top right’s resemblance to the official TG16 Turbo Stick…

Whereas the one below it is the 929 Fighter, “a Sega Mega Drive and Super Nintendo-compatible arcade stick with turbo features, created by a currently unknown manufacturer. It is a reasonably common peripheral in South America."

Hally’s also using digging into official patents; apparently Nintendo filed these supposed re-designs of the Game Boy, circa 1992…

“Interestingly, in Taiwan, two types of designs that are slightly different from these are registered at about the same time.”

BTW, my favorite one (thus far) would have to be this one that’s apparently by just one person, Chen Fengyì, and apparently was never produced, yet Hally will surely find out for sure…

Like many others, including now you maybe, I’ll be keeping close tabs on Hally’s Twitter to see what other questions are posed and answered. Was gonna say that I’d take this time, as The Picture Book of Intellectual Properties In The History Of Taiwanse Video Games is being put together, to check out his first one, on the subject of chiptunes, but it’s apparently only in Japanese. Oh well.

I’ll still get the new book anyway, especially if the author’s pic is this one by Marjorie Becker...

[EDIT] Alternatively, he could use this pic of him and I, from Blip Fest ‘09...

[princess-of-inarizaki]

Of course you make! I'm really waiting for your every Inarizaki post and they're so soft! I really like to sent you, guys, some thoughts and rant about our favourite boys. And, omg, I so love Atsumu's and Osamu's confessions drabbles! Did you read them? What BTS songs can you recommend? Cycling sounds fun! I can't do it. x) Good luck, hope, you'll enjoy this time. Okey, you can ask me whenever you want. Yes, it's really cold! Luckily, last years it isn't too cold. - Tilli (1)

Omg, I want to go to Malaysia! I so love hot weather, but it's usually cold in Russia. x) No, don't apologize. You can talk about your troubles with me whenever you want, I'm always ready to listen to you! I'm sorry about that, I probably experienced something like this before, so I can understand what you feel now. But I think, that everything will be great, because everything that is done is for the best. Good luck! I believe in you!~ - Tilli (2)

So, you're going to start work next week! Is it your first work? Where will you work? I'm so proud of you!~ I'm happy that you love my requests! I swear, I love to send it and get your answers too! Really really love! Really, I already can't imagine my January without writing some thoughts. x) O, btw, you told me that you want to listen about some of my dreams! It's something strange usually, but my today dream was about Haikyuu! I don't remember everything properly though. - Tilli (3)

But I remember that I hugged with Miya twins and I also remember that Tsumu protected me from something. O, there were Inarizaki-kitsune too. I really enjoyed this, but fun dreams like this happened with me rarely. My week and day are great, writing takes me longer, but I'm fine cause I've great rest! And yes, I saw Oikawa!~ I was quite sad because of animation, but some moments were amazing! Btw, can I send you answers in submission (they're just so long x))? - Tilli (4)

-

I read them both and loved it!! They were both just so soft, I especially loved the part when manager comforts Atsumu and hugs him, and then he confesses. LIKE AKHDSKJSKS MY HEART?? IT'S SO SWEET??? 😭👉👈💖 and suna's one today!! He's such a smol shy sweetheart, I loved the way his sister teases him with manager uwu.

My favourite BTS song is actually "make it right" and MV is "spring day" they're so comforting and slow songs that make me feel better, but if you're looking for more fast paced ones I would recommend "baepsae" or "let go(Japanese ver)" they're pretty good to dance to. Boy with luv and dynamite too!

I went cycling today but unfortunately I fell down halfway 😭😭 my knees and elbows are pretty scraped up now and I had to go to our clinic for an injection earlier to prevent infections. I'm feeling better now, but I couldnt do much today besides stay in bed tbh *sigh* I'm sure you could do it if you learn how!! If we ever meet I'll teach you hahaha.

I'm glad last year wasn't that cold hehe. Today was somehow cooler than usual tbh, so it was enjoyable. And if you ever come here is welcome you!! We could try lots of food hahah since Malaysia has lots of varieties. And the weather will be a plus point too uwu.

Thank you so much for saying that. I appreciate it very much and next time I feel troubled I will remember your words 💖💖 if you ever want to talk to me about like that, I hope you know that you always can, and I'll always listen!

It's the second time, I will be going to our family clinic to learn the business aspect of it. I used to go in and do the paperwork during previous holidays, but this holiday I will be attending meetings and learning other things about the clinic haha. Thank you so much 💖💖 I'm glad I made you proud >.<

I love receiving your thoughts too, they're all very soft and fun to think about. It's nice to write my ideas on it too and come up with something great together 😉 I can't wait for January too omg!!

Oh yes I'd love to listen to your dreams!! It sounds so cool, the kitsunes too, they must've been so adorable. The miya twins are so sweet, I'm sure you woke up with a smile on your face after that dream :)))

I'm glad you got rest, Tilli-chan!! And akjdksjsksk Oikawa 💖💖💖❤️his little blue headphones were cute and yeah I agree :///

Of course!! Feel free to send me via the submissions, I would love that!!✨✨✨😺😺

Hello! Disney/Yuriy Stan again with more :D What are some of your headcanons concerning overlooked characters (like Steve, Ivan, or anyone else) you feel gets pushed aside for one reason or another? There are a lot to choose from considering the number of season, or even arc, exclusive characters in the series.

Mod Note: There are, indeed, a lot to choose from. I was thinking about Zeo, King and Queen, Barthez Battalion, and BEGA and I started to cry LOL. THAT’S JUST TO NAME A FEW. So, I just picked a few and hope I get the opportunity to do this again so I can keep rambling about those cuties and cry. Btw, I missed you!

IAN / IVAN: 

I don’t think many people consider how mature, composed, and loyal Ivan is. Think about it... He didn’t get a chance to rejoin the team, he watched as Kai basically replaced him, and he was still willing to be by Tala’s side all over again when the team came back to Russia. Most people would drop someone if they felt like they were being cast aside, but Ivan interpreted the process of elimination as fair and for the betterment of the team. The strong survive, right? To him, he needed to work on improving his own skills. Of course, I don’t see this as fair by any means, but to Ivan his team was everything. The boys have been through a lot and have seen a lot. In an attempt to cope with the defeat and the departure, Ivan tried to mentally manipulate the situation in a way that was easy to cope with. I’m sure Tala also acknowledged Kai’s strength, but much preferred having someone as loyal and familiar as Ivan by his side. These boys have conditioned themselves to be something to discard if they’re seen as useless, but this way of thinking begins to break down once the boys return home and back to Ivan. Ivan doesn’t resent any of them and actually embraces his team back with open arms. I’m confident they were glad to see him and have adopted a newfound interpretation of what success among them looks like.

When it comes to relationships, Ivan replicates that loyalty towards his partner. In truth, he never really thought about love or romance before. Again, he placed battles and winning over anything else. He’d see the kind of intimate interactions someone like Bryan would have with strangers, but he seldom saw himself in that same position. In his mind, he was tired of the “expendable” routine. He doesn’t exactly want to treat others as temporary, because he knows how hard it was for him when he was in the same position. When he finds someone to accept in his life, he makes sure they feel welcomed, included, and part of something bigger. He doesn’t like the idea of shutting himself off and being secretive. He rather likes being vulnerable and telling someone things about himself that others would seemingly ignore. It’s exciting, it’s different, it’s daring. It’s something his team would never consider doing, but the risk in opening up feels a lot more fun than staying closed off. Count on Ivan to be an excitable partner that would is excited to learn about you and have you learn about him.

STEVE:

He’s always been concerned with power. With power comes a need for control, a need for dominance, a need for maintaining a sense of stability. Steve has always had those things and never hesitated to show them off, both in and out of the ring. However, once he injured himself, he realized just how quickly all of that power can leave him and it makes him question if he even had that power to start with. If he did, why was it so easily taken from him? Steve carries with him an extensive amount of frustration, much of which he places on himself. Steve engages in self-harm, whether he realizes it or not. During physical therapy, he pushes himself to the point of continuously damaging and weakening certain muscles. Although he’s trying to rebuild himself, he doesn’t realize how much he’s punishing his own body for a simple mistake. Steve is way too hard on himself... The worst part is, because his team was traveling, he didn’t exactly get a chance to vent or talk through his thoughts. Even his best friend Eddy wasn’t available and his pride prevented him from reaching out via phone call or text, because he didn’t want to worry/concern/distract him from the matches. Despite how cocky Steve appears, you really have to wonder just what he’s been through when he’s away from his team. He constantly questions if Judy or anyone else on the team was thinking about him or if they wanted him back. The boy has a lot of physical and mental rebuilding to do and he feels like he has to do it all on his own.

When it comes to love, Steve used to be openly flirtatious and overly confident. However, upon receiving his injury, Steve has built up some walls. He feels as if others see him as a failure, so he focuses more on improving himself instead of seeking out affection. However, upon finding someone of interest, he’ll be forever indebted to their patience, light-heartedness, and desire to work with him on such a difficult journey of basically getting his life back together. The relationship would be rather difficult every now and then. Steve does his best to avoid seeming like a burden, so he avoids asking for help with certain things, even when he desperately needs it. His partner reminds him of how it’s okay to be vulnerable and how there’s power in letting someone see you at your self-identified worst. That just means there’s trust. Steve honestly learns a lot from those very soft and meaningful moments with his partner. He’s also learned to appreciate moments of silence where he can simply sit with his partner and just...be...without feeling pressured to overcompensate or act bigger than he is.

ZEO:

Probably one of the most complicated characters there is - and for good reason (the manga and anime are a fucking TRIP when it comes to his background). Zeo has undergone an extensive amount of trauma - from being manipulated to struggling with his identity (both of which go hand in hand). When the battle with Tyson was over and he lost, Zeo was basically abandoned all over again and left with the burden of starting anew. He doesn’t resent Tyson for this, because he knows he has to find out who he really is on his own. The journey is difficult - does he retreat to being comprised of enthusiasm and kindness or does he cling to wrath and violence? One seems so fake while the other is emotionally exhausting. Zeo only knows that he’s tired and that seems like a safe place to start. What aspects can he pick that make him feel less drained? What’s easy to wear and comfortable to exude? He drifts towards a softer side and finds solace in playing instruments that awaken his ears. He likes hearing noises that don’t resemble talking. He’s not quite fond of lectures anymore or drawn out conversation. Discussions have lead him down dangerous paths, but he realizes how much beauty can be communicated through music. Music... He wants to make music. He’s settled on that path and it makes him more comfortable with communicating with others again. He’d rather avoid competitions or anything that could pit him against others. He’d rather continue to find beautiful things in all that surrounds him rather than someone to destroy.

In terms of romance, that’s another complicated journey. Zeo has had to devote a lot of time towards learning to love himself again. If he can’t love himself, how can he possibly love someone else? With good reason, he’s hesitated being in the company of others. There’s a fear they’ll hurt him or that he’ll hurt them. But he’s learned a lot through company that likes his music. In fact, his partner is probably the one who trained his ears to hear changes in pitch and how to gracefully transition notes. It’s so easy for him to fall for someone who’s taught him such a tremendous gift. He tends to cling to those who give him something monumental - in this case, it’s the gift of really hearing the world around him. As a partner, Zeo is quite gentle, subtle, and observant. He always takes into consideration his partners comfort and finds himself looking at them while he’s playing the violin. Their appearance inspires the most beautiful noises and they serve as his muse during his artistic journey. He doesn’t always give compliments, but he treasures all the ones given to him by his partner. There’s no denying that the man loves praise, but he needs it if he’s going to make sure he’s on the path he needs to be. In time, he begins to find comfort in physical displays of affection. He loves wrapping his arms around his partner, as if to silently reinforce the idea that he has something (or someone) of his own. He loves the feeling of arms around him as well, just keeping him safe and forgiving him for the strange trials he’s endured.

Be Careful (Part 7 - FINAL)

Prompt: Being the wife of Tom, who is a politician, while having an affair with Bill, who is a leader of an anti-government group and is planning to assassinate Tom. (courtesy of @theartofimagining13)

Warnings: language, sex/smut, talk of murder…Think House of Cards, and you’re golden.

Word Count: 1334

Notes: Beta’d by the perfect @like-a-bag-of-potatoes… This is rather different from what I usually do, so feedback would be nice : ) It’s a drabble series, btw.

Inspired by the T Swift Song: I Did Something Bad

~~~~~~~~~

“Senator Hiddleston ordered salmon,” Bill informed to Daniel at the door. Daniel eyed the food, checked the cart, and barely patted Bill down, before letting him in.

“I didn’t order that,” Tom said as he let the newspaper down he was reading.

“Compliments of the hotel,” Bill stated politely as he opened the silver serving plate.

“That’s very nice, but no thank you,” Tom dismissed, his blue eyes on Bill’s green orbs.

Bill reached into his pants, pulling out a Glock 19 with a silencer, aiming it at Tom’s head. “Oh, I insist.”

“What the hell?” Tom said as his brows knitted together. “Da--” he started to shout but Bill put his fingers to his lips.

“Shh. Don’t shout for the bodyguard. It’ll just cause more bloodshed,” Bill advised.

The door suddenly clicked open, Bill assumed it was his henchmen so he didn’t turn around. But Tom on the other hand was slightly relieved.

“Y/N, don’t come closer, he has a gun!” Tom warned.

You smiled knowingly as you pulled your own gun out of your fur coat and shot Bill in the back of calf, the noise barely above a can opening. The feeling that coursed though you felt raw, and wonderful -- it was power.

Bill’s leg twisted to the floor as he cried out. The sound sickenly sweet.

“I know, darling, I gave it to him,” you informed as Sebastian and his men joined you in the room, him looking absolutely mouth watering in an all black suit, power emanating from him.

“What the hell--What the fuck is going on?” Tom asked as he eyed Bill, the guns, Sebastian, and his henchmen.

“I see why you’re leaving him,” Sebastian said, eyeing the confused Senator. Sebastian’s men came in and took Bill’s gun as he gripped his leg from pain. Then moved to Tom to get him on his knees, the two big men keeping them still and on their knees.

Tom’s eyes flashed to yours, betrayal, hurt, anger, confusion all swirling in those pretty eyes of his. “Y/N?”

A wicked grin slowly pulled on your face, keeping your gun aimed at the two men.

“I bet you’re wondering what I’m doing. Let me make it simple. Bill here, was sent to kill you. By me. Well, us. You see we’ve been trying to sabotage you for over a year and a half now, darling. Succeeding. Until Billy boy here had the genius idea of killing you and exposing all of your dirty little secrets. You’re dead, all of your secrets out, and you’re no longer fucking up a country.”

Tom’s eyes widened before going from you to Bill.

“But you see, Bill thought I was working with him, trying to take down the American government. Silly Billy,” you teased as you leaned down and touched the end of the silencer to his cheek but he ripped away, glaring at you.

“You psycho bitch. I thought you loved me. What the fuck are you doing?” Bill demanded, rage burning clear in his voice, face, and eyes.

“Getting what’s rightfully mine, baby,” you said, nearly cooing. “You see, I’m tired of men thinking they rule the show. That they are the be all, end all when it comes to government, politics, morality. All my life, men have walked all over me, thought I was just another pretty face. Bill, you’re just as fucked up as he is. Tom may be a twisted cookie, but, Bill, baby, you were ready to kill for a piece of ass. You fucked another man’s wife to infiltrate the government. What would you even gain if Tom died? Nothing. So you spill some secrets from Capitol HIll. Big deal.”

Both men were staring at you, anger brewing deeper and deeper on their faces.

“So are you going to kill us?” Tom asked. “Just assassinate me like the original plan and say Daniel shot Bill as he got away. Is that it?”

“Clever boy,” you complimented as you stood from your leaned position. “But no. That was part of the small plan but no, we’re thinking big picture here.”

“We?” Tom inquired.

“Well, Sebastian and me, of course,” you said, eyeing your true lover. Your one true love. He was the current president of Russia, the second largest power in the world, with you as his second in command and pulling the strings back here in America, you would soon be the largest superpower.

“Sebastian Stan, the president of Russia?” Bill asked. “I thought you shared a vision with me,” he said, the faintest hint of heartbreak in his voice. Oh, how precious.

You laughed callously. “Bill, darling, no. I never loved you. You just fuck well. You really thought I would settle for an anarchist...or even a senator?” you asked, eyeing your husband as if he were trash. “I am meant for so much more than what you two had planned.”

“Then what the hell was I for? Why not just go with Sebastian?” he demanded, furious.

“Excellent question,” Sebastian said chiming in. “We can’t have a group of your...caliber, trying to ruin our endeavor, can we?” he asked as he eyed your former lover, before clasping his hands in front of him.  

“So you, my beloved anti-government snake,” you cooed, “you get to run your group exactly how you were meant to. You’re going to work your ass off to tear down the government, with our help,” you informed, a smile on your face. “You will be the weapon to crack that regime.”

“Genius, isn’t it? All her idea,” Sebastian noted, eyeing you. “She is the brains behind it all. And a bomb in the sack, eh, boys?” he asked, winking with a mischievous gleam in his eye, making you beam with pride.

Bill’s eyes swirled with something strange. Wonder? Amazement? Anger? Impression? Whatever it was, it settled on disbelieving rage. “So you’re not going to kill me?”

“That would cause a revolution. No, we need you alive.”

“If I don’t do it?”

All humor fell from your face, stone features in its place. “I will personally put yet another bullet in you, but this one will be between your eyes,” you threatened, your voice reaching a tone it never had. Your head twisted to see your husband.

“And, darling, my love, as for you, you’re to be our puppet.”

“I’ll never do it,” Tom vowed.

“Oh won’t you? Darling, I know for a fact that at the right price, you’ll jump on it like a dog in heat. Not to mention if you don’t comply, I still have many things that can ruin your career.”

“What if I still don't?” he challenged.

“Same fate as Bill.”

“Wouldn’t it be easier to kill us?” Bill wondered with fierce venom in his voice as his eyes slowly trailed up to your face.

“Keep up, man,” Sebastian said, crouching down, patting Bill’s face as if he were a small child. “We need men on the ground here. You understand, don’t you?”

Sebastian stood up, kissing you quickly, the inevitable fire lacing in your veins as he touched you.

“приходи, мой голубь,” Sebastian asked, meaning ‘Come, my dove.’

“Yes, dear.” You turned to your husband and ex-lover, winking. “Bye, boys. Я иду домой на родину,” you stated, meaning “I’m going home to the motherland.”

The men were still kneeling, speechless, as they watched you leave, stunned beyond belief. Your plan worked perfectly, and now you were about to board a plane back to Russia, to start the second phase of your plan -- making Russia the most untouchable superpower in the world, with the United States eating out of the palm of your hand.

Men really were stupid, but at least you found one that seemed capable of keeping up with you. Sebastian sat next to you on the plane and kissed your hand.

“Ready to start a new world order?” he wondered, so much promise in his voice.

“I was born ready, darling.”

[where-his-towel-is]

I'd say "stole the show" by parson james because it was nathan chen's exhibition skate music this year and I'm in love with it (and him lol he's so talented)

hehe. here we go ^-^ (thanks for this prompt btw, i totally got off on it)

—————————————-

They’re standing outside the barriers,only just out of sight of the cameras and the flashing lights.

This is it. The last one.

Viktor always knew it was coming, so itcomes as a surprise that he feels so intimidated. He’s never been onefor stage fright, in any area of life in fact. Even at his mosttender ages, his audiences have commented on his ability to remaincalm and focus. A natural performer.

It isstrange, then, that this tiny part of his life (which really doesn’tmatter half as much as everyone has said it does) should suddenlychange all that. He can feel something fluttering deep in hisstomach, and his palms have started to sweat. It’s uncomfortable, andit puts him off-balance.

Yuuri,on the other hand, is surprised by how calm he feels. There is noreason why he shouldn’t feel calm, of course: he and everybody elseknows he well he and Viktor are going to perform tonight, there’shonestly no way that they can mess this routine up after havingpretty much toured it worldwide.

Theglobal response to their pair exhibition skate of Stammi Vicino hadbeen electric. Not one, not two, but threevideos of it had gone viral online; they had been invited tointerview on several American talk-shows, even booking a spot on anews channel to discuss homosexual pairs skating. It had become theirone-hit wonder in a way, so they had kept on performing it again andagain at various shows they happened to attend.

Theroutine itself had not fundamentally changed, although both of themhad recognised its different variants. That first performance hadbeen shaky and uncertain in spite of its obvious symbolism of theirmutual affection, which made sense, now that Yuuri thought about it.

We were both younger then, we barelyknew each other really.

Fromthen on, every single performance had had a different meaning.Sometimes they would catch it at the right moment, like the time inRussia shortly after the second half of their wedding with Viktor’sfamily, but there had been other, less stable versions. They wouldfight in the morning over something that was or wasn’t important, andwould have to sit the rest of the day out apart from one anotheruntil just before it was their turn to glide out onto the ice, Yuurialways first.

Viktorcan’t help remembering their worst fight. I was a mess formonths after Makkachin died. They’dhad to power on through it, but Yuuri’s endless patience had run out(for one night and one night only) when Viktor had nearly set thekitchen on fire after getting distracted by…what was itagain? It doesn’t matter.

Helooks over at his husband, whose cheeks are already glowing frostypink from the cool breeze blowing off the ice. We had toskate together then too. And I remember…

Somewhere in between a lift and a spin,they had forgiven each other.

Their touch changed from firm toanchored; their laboured breaths became breathless.

To any audience member, Viktor was surethat there would have been no change at all – they had known StammiVicino inside out by then anyway – but ever since then, thatmusic has unfailingly made him cry.

“Hey.” A hand on his arm. Yuuri hasnoticed his husband is chewing his lower lip, and has decided to takeaction. “You okay?”

“You’re asking me?” Viktor repliessoftly, with a half-chuckle. “It’s your last exhibition skate incompetition, are you okay?”

“Viktor.” Yuuri pouts, andpushes himself up against his husband, nuzzling into his neck rightwhere they’ve discovered that they fit best. “Don’t make me out tobe as ancient as you, it’s not fair.”

This time he hears a real laugh huminto his hair, and he leans back for a better look at this face hehas loved for so long. I’ll never get tired of watching you laugh.Never, never.

He’s not blind tothe waver of discomfort still present behind Viktor’s grin; howironic that his last “official” exhibition skate wouldmake his partner more worried than he is. Yuuri has thought of aremedy for this, though, something even more powerful than laughter.He knows Viktor, and he knows the routine, and there issomething he can do.

I’ll surprise you, eh Viktor? You’vealways loved surprises.

They get a quickthumbs-up from a tech supervisor, before the lights start to dim andthe audience’ roar diminuendos to a hushed silence.

Viktor is about totell Yuuri that he really has to go out there now, there’s no pointkeeping anyone waiting any longer, but the star of tonight’s showlooks like he has all of the time in the world. Everyone here iswrapped around his finger, Viktor thinks, and adds includingme when Yuuri’s finger trails up under his chin and beckons himinto a quick, yet surprisingly passionate kiss.

It’s just like thenight they first met. Yuuri saunters off to the opening in the rinkbarrier, Viktor trailing him in a daze. He wonders what on earth thiscrazy, incredible boy is going to do next.  

Yuuri does glide out into the middle ofthe ice as usual, and as the rose-coloured spotlights come up theyre-paint his azure jacket in blushing fuchsia, like they always do.But Viktor can tell that something is going to be different.

He gasps when the music comes on andYuuri is in the wrong pose. Instead of the expected arching neck andgraceful hands, he stands proud, weight on one hip and eyesseductively lowered.

Oh… Oh my god.

Viktor watches inastonishment, panic dissipated, as this beautiful man, this geniusthat he is so lucky to have in his life, starts to dance the Erosroutine over the trembling strings of Stammi Vicino. He feelsthe same intense pull in his stomach as when he first watched Yuuridance, years ago now. He remembers mentally choreographing almost theentire routine on the spot; never again has he managed to replicatethat thunderclap of inspiration.

No, only Yuurican do that.

Clearly, Yuuri can’t skate the wholeroutine to the wrong music, but he manages to sneak in the short stepsequence of the introduction, finishing with that infamouschallenging glance to the side of the rink where Yuuri knows Viktoris always (and now, will always be) standing.

Only a few more seconds, and Viktorwill have to skate out there himself and start his part of theroutine.

For now, though, he holds his breath,waiting for what is not, after all, an end. Oh no. This is just thebeginning.

UFOs and strange lights in the sky over Italy

UFOs, flying saucers and alleged extraterrestrial beings sightings are frequent in the US, with about 2,500 sightings reported every 10 million people according to data elaborated by Vizthis, i.e. about 500 times the UFOs sightings reported in Asia, Africa and Russia, where there are on average less than 5 sightings every 0 every 10 million people. 

ARE SIGHTINGS DECREASING IN ITALY?

 In Italy the phenomenon seems decreasing for some years, with just 2 sightings reported by Italian Air Force in 2015 compared to 8 sightings reported in 2014 (2016 figures are not released yet) and compared to 455 sightings reported in the latest 42 years (from 1972 to 2014), which means on average over 10 sightings a year over the period.On par with Vizthis numbers, over the years around the world, even in Italy, sightings gradually changed their nature: actual UFOs, triangle, ovoid or cigar shaped (like the historical 1933 Milan UFO) were replaced by sightings of “strange lights” in the sky which seem not to be imputable to airplanes or satellites transit.

TWO DEBATED CASES

In Italy among the latest sightings caused quite a stir the case of alleged UFO seen May 28, 2915 over Carlo III square, in Naples, which btw the “photobuster” Paolo Bertotti explained being most likely Venus, strongly blurred and caught on a catadioptrics lens.More interesting was the video made by Marco Mazzarella on July 12, 2016, which seems to show a real UFO flying in the late afternoon over Mount Somma, near the Vesuvius. Even in this case there is however the chance that it was just International space station, a satellite or a high-altitude flight.

SAN GIORGIO A CREMANO’S UFO

These days, a boy from San Giorgio a Cremano, Marco di Somma, shoooted with his smartphone a strange flying object, with white flashing lights incompatible with those standard for air navigation, appearing and disappearing and which seems heading towards the close (around 7 km as the crow flies) Napoli Capodichino airport. Take a look.
