what r your shadow headcanons?! š
šš¤ Ooooo oh my gosh!!! Thank you for asking op! A lot of them I have are kind of inspired a looot on the future AU I have, and starts from basically the beginning of his life to the potential end... so let's see where this goes...
(Disclaimers: This is written like a week before SXShG comes out so until we learn the new crazy information that I'm sure is going to rock all of our headcanons and theories for better and the worse, this is what I've got for now. Also I base this all on the two world theory, of Earth and Sonic's world being separate universes but currently are being brought together with Chaos Energy and that perhaps a lot of the Earth's magic/energy/gods have somehow been awoken with Chaos Energy, which may have caused the worlds to be open to each other... if that makes sense...š
)
ANYWAY, LETS GO
-Gerald/GUN had been messing with the possibility of interdimensional travel for a long time and were eventually able to tap into Chaos Energy, which allowed for the ability of Gerald to be able to do research on Sonic's planet, and for GUN to find and collect the chaos emeralds.
-Gerald needed dna from the (at least what he thinks) is the local chaos emerald's planet because any of the human or animal dna that they've been using back on earth isn't strong enough to withhold the energy of the emeralds and falls apart.
-Shadow is a hedgehog possibly because the part of the planet Gerald was researching was an ancient burial ground of a people who worshipped the Chaos Emeralds and figured it would be easiest to abstract ancient alien hedgehog dna from bones (Jurassic Park Style) rather than upsetting the rest of the planet because who knows what it could unleash, and the last thing GUN needs is ANOTHER alien invasion.
-Speaking of Aliens, the Black Arms were brought in as both a way to appeal Doom's promise of invading again, but also because Gerald needed something genetically stronger that would be able to withstand chaos energy.
-Shadow was supposed to be the start of an underground program of developing super soldiers for GUN but obviously due to the raid, that was shut down.
-We know that chaos is power, power enriched by the heart, and part of the reason so many experiments failed was because the energy could not properly bond without a positive influence, hence the need for Maria's pure heart and soul.
-The Black arms blood only acted as a bonding agent for the chaos energy to sustain the life form they were creating.
-Gerald incorporated the aspect of putting Maria's Soul/heart into Shadow behind Doom's back, and in so doing saving Shadow's life from being able to be completely overtaken by Doom. (Maria helped save his life too š„ŗš)
-Shadow has the same amount of Chaos Energy coursing through his body as an actual chaos emerald.
-His inhibitor rings act like both a seal and storage of his chaos power. Without them the energy would burn away to quickly to be able to regenerate and it would eventually kill him. Eggman is the only one so far known be able to rebuild perfect replicas to replace them (Heroes)
-He uses his inhibitor rings to store chaos energy to use as spears/snapping/skating etc.
-He skates using excess chaos energy that he burns off.
-Due to having so much chaos energy in him, he doesn't get as cold as easily or quickly and can go a little longer without eating. Though if he has recently done a chaos blast or gone super, he definitely notices a drain on his energy and gets really hungry.
-Shadow was only a few years conscious/old on the Ark when the raid happened.
-Shadow is currently deep in his grieving process, but doesn't even know he's grieving. All he knows is that he feel safer and more in control when he's alone and isn't really able to explain or understand why he's so angry.
-Shadow is deeply afraid of accidentally hurting those around him and self-isolates as a way to protect them.
-Sometimes he can feel the amount of energy coursing through him and it scares him. He doesn't fully understand how powerful he really is, or what the limits to his power even are.
-Despite his friends constantly telling him otherwise, Shadow thinks that he really is nothing more than a conscious weapon and doesn't deserve to be anything more.
-He deals with a looooooot of self loathing and survivors guilt, that often comes out as pride and bravado.
-He gradually gets his memories of the events of SA2 after being rescued in Heroes, and was a little hurt at first as to why Rouge hadn't told him everything initially... They had a long complicated talk about it, but soon Shadow realized that how would you even begin to tell someone the things that happened to him.
-Chaos energy eventually will heal his brain of the damage done from the brainwashing and manipulating that Gerald did.
-He is a naturally quiet, reserved and introverted person, but unfortunately the trauma he's suffered kicked it all into overdrive and now socializing is exhausting and awkward.
-Being in cities for too long overwhelms him.
-He is incredibly intelligent and a brilliant strategist, but technology and computers often stump him and it frustrates him (bless)
-Babies and chao are strangely drawn to him. I think they're able to instinctually sense the inherently calming and healing aura he has, and was originally intended to have. This does confuse and fluster him greatly. š
-As Shadow heals and moves on he gradually gets more of a sense of humor. It is a dry sense of humor though, and he can get very very sarcastic.
-Rouge was the first person he really allowed himself to get close to or trust himself to be safe around.
-He eventually goes back to live in Sonic's dimension and to suddenly be in a world where everything fits him was a weird adjustment to get used to.
-Shadow sleeps on his back, and only starts to snore when he feels safe and calm.
-Shadow does age, but he ages very very slowly. (think Logan/Wolverine) There will eventually come a time where he notices that he's stopped aging alongside his friends.
-Sometime in the future, Shadow will discover that his powers also have the ability to heal. And he eventually is known to be as great a healer as much as he is a warrior.
-Due to his healing abilities it will lead him to the Master Emerald where Knuckles helps teach him how to meditate and be able to connect with that deeper spiritual aspect that there is to chaos energy.
-He guards the Master Emerald for a time after Knuckles and everyone else is eventually gone... both as a sense of respect and purpose but for solitude and space to grieve again.
-He will have to watch all of his current friends die... but he does become a guardian and a stable rock of guidance and wisdom that the future generations can depend on.
-Shadow is Silver's great great great (idk how many greats) grandfather, and got to see him be born, but due to a calamity threatening the planet was unable to be there for him to help him grow up.
-Shadow and Omega both go out in a blaze of glory together as companions and dear friends as they save the world together to give it a second chance to survive...
AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR NOW... I'm sure I'm forgetting some and will have more come to me later, but I'll start with these.
G o s h so much of Shadow's story is just... so sad. There's so much healing, hope, love and purpose in there too... but at the cost of great sadness... and I think a lot of us can relate to that in deep personal ways. And I think that's what makes Shadow so important and special to us as a character.

Things Battinson Totally Did During His First Year of University
Using Unhinged or Odd Things I Also Did as a College Freshman :D
Note: for this list, letās believe Bruce was living in an (admittedly expensive and swanky) dorm because it is required for first-years, especially those entering at a young age, and Alfred told him he needed to make friends. Also yes I did every single thing on this list. I never claimed to be a role model
Bruce, to his TA: Iām so sorry Iām late to class. I gave blood a few hours ago and almost fainted on the way here, but it wonāt happen again.
Signs up for a class called āAge of Dinosaursā despite it not being required whatsoever and proceeds to work his entire schedule around it
Bruce: Your mental health is super important. If you think you should see the on-campus therapist, go see them. Friend: Fine. Iāll sign up for therapy if you sign up for therapy too. Bruce: Hold on-
Finds a loophole in his housing contract that allows him to get a pet frog, calls him kermit :)
Gets a second frog because Kermit was lonely, names it Constantine after Muppets Most Wanted, then realizes that theyāre gay for each other. Wonders if the rainbow-colored rocks he got them triggered anything
Swings dramatically between calling Alfred every single day and ghosting him for weeks, cries when he realizes what he did
āAccidentallyā joins the student body council, doesnāt know what heās doing, gets re-elected anyway
Molds a dragon out of Laffy Taffy instead of doing his work
Bruce: *joins Honors, gets all Aās, takes the max amount of classes, has several minors, overachieves* Also Bruce: Iām a failure.
Breaks into a building after hours to study because NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO SHUT THE FUCK UP AT THE LIBRARY
Bruce: I will not get seasonal depression this year. Bruce: *gets real and seasonal depression that year*
Meticulously schedules his day with a color-coded planner because if he sits down for too long, the thoughts will consume him
Gives a presentation to his rhetoric class on how much he likes Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse (it is 20 minutes long)
Successfully allocates funding from the student body council to pay for free feminine products in the dorms OUT OF SPITE because someone said it couldn't be done. fuck you, Andrew
Bruce: It is not an all-nighter if I go to sleep before my first class. Friend: It is 7:30am, the sun is in the sky, and your first class is at 12:30. Bruce: But I am getting sleep.
Refuses to go anywhere without his backpack because what if he needs three notebooks at once
Loses over 20 pounds because āØstressāØ and scares the shit out of Alfred when he comes home for Thanksgiving
Argues with his TA over the one (1) question he got wrong on his Dinosaur exam
Bruce, calling Alfred: Hello father figure. How do I do taxes? Do I have to do them myself? Also, I think Iām having a panic attack.
Joins in on a charity arts-and-crafts project that gives kids books with matching activities made by volunteers, proceeds to commandeer the project because āitās not color-blind friendlyā and rewrites the instructions for everyone
Makes a murder wall
Goes to one (1) sports game and proceeds to leave in the first ten minutes because itās way too loud wtf is wrong with people
Professor, addressing the lecture hall: I dare you to write an essay about these two sentences. Bruce: *writes an essay about six words, gets a 100, never even read the book*
Crawls into the ceiling for some alone time
Ghosts someone after a date because heās too scared to tell them he didnāt know it was a date in the first place and now he feels bad
Classmate: How tf does he walk across campus that fast? I go in the same direction he does on my bike, and heās always ahead of me. Bruce: *is gay sprinting to Dinosaur class*
Refuses to let others use his Favorite Pen TM
Constantly gets mistaken for a Grad Student because he is āso wise and matureā (bestie, thatās the autism)
Alfred: *casually mentions he got into a car accident through text* Bruce: *replies with a meme while hyperventilating because he doesnāt know what to do with that information??!*
Wears a suit to one of his finals
Regularly eats non-organic food for the first time in his life, proceeds to learn about several allergies Alfred forgot to mention he has
Writes āWhat is a Hot Pocket?ā in calligraphy and proceeds to laugh his ass off alone in his dorm because he is so exhausted heās reached the point of delusion
Locks himself out of his dorm right before class, frantically asks the floor group chat if someone can help, proceeds to tell the nice gay man on the floor who saved him āI love youā because his social skills have hit rock bottom
Makes a little music album display next to his desk for his favorite band (Nirvana) His friends call it a shrine, and they are technically correct
Has a blacklist of people he refuses to interact with because Reasons
Counselor: What do you want to do when you graduate? Bruce: *gestures vaguely*
Refuses to take the bus because there are people in there and he doesnāt like those
Loses one of his frogs, how tf did he do that, theyāre fully aquatic, oh fuck, this is probably why they got rid of that loophole a year later because unbeknownst to Bruce, he accidentally started a frog revolution in the dorms, btw he SWEARS he did not mean to do that
Has two trash cans in his room: one for the Good Garbage, and one for the Bad Garbage. Only Bruce knows which is which
Bruce: *writes a creative piece about a shipās final thoughts as it sinks, bringing its passengers down with it* TA: Absolutely lovely, Bruce, but are you okay?
Goes on Night Walks, keeps himself safe by maintaining a level 12 resting bitch face at all times
Earns the nickname ā8th floor cryptidā after pacing the halls at 3am when itās too cold for Night Walks (honestly tho how tf didnāt he get the nickname earlier?)
Bruce: Do you think a depressed person could do this? Bruce: *has a manic episode*
Okay that's all love you BYE

Carnis Au slapped me in the face- I was just browsing tumblr when I ran into a reblog of one of your posts- andā¦GOD.
I just- itās so tragic and fucked up that Law never got to-like know Luffy. And now heās living in his shitty apartment- with this MF (affectionate) who literally-KILLED the dude and I just- I need to know- or at least see- like- did Law ever- yell at Mimic Luffy. I know heās a paranoid survivor just trying to live in this fucked up reality and not die- but did he snap at the mimic for killing someone like Luffy who was in such a vulnerable position even though it couldāve been expected..? Like maybe he had no right to be mad-cause he didnāt know him-he couldnāt save him-but all that guilt and fear-did it ever build up and he just-yelled at the other? How heāll never beā¦Luffy?
i'm glad you like my au!!! š„°š i'm not sure how their first fight would go exactly but i know how it would start!
#trafalgar law#monkey d luffy#my art#my comic#described in alt text#op carnis au#caurnis ask#is law actually drunk? is he it using it as an excuse to blow out? both?#it's a few months after law's realisation. the mimic has started to grow its hair out. at this point both r v tired of the other's bullshit#thanks for asking about this au btw!!! this is one of my fav comic ive drawn and you reminded me i had started another last month ahah

Thank you OP!! Iām glad you like how I draw him!! I think Ingo would appreciate being described as powerful, because heās put through hell every day by Zisu and Gaeric to achieve that. I didnāt realize how much I had drawn this kind of thing until I started browsing for a related photo to use haha.
#waywardās asks#itās insane how many times Iāve also drawn the family guy death pose#itās like. five times now I think#and three of them are Ingo#ANYWAYS THANK YOU OP

Merlin and Arthur were always bickering, and every compliment and praise they actually gave each other was never direct and explicit, but always masked by some jokes, except for some significant times during the show.
But I want to talk about Merlinās deep devotion, the way he talked about Arthur to other people, which I believe is very, very different, and has another meaning completely.
Imagine if Arthur hadnāt been unconscious or away when one of these moments happened and saw Merlin showing how blended his life was with his, that he had devoted it entirely to him (and probably still is, even after all those years later to Arthurās death):
āI will make Arthur king.ā
āArthur is a better and more worthy king than you ever were.ā (and this one was directed to Uther, of all people, someone who had always believed both in life and death that Arthur didnāt have any worth, and therefore considered his sonās life meaningless).
āEverything I do is for him and he just thinks Iām an idiot.ā
āYou have faith in Arthur?ā āI trust him with my life.ā
"He can't die! It is my destiny to protect him. We haven't done all the things we're meant to do!"
āI willingly give my life for Arthurās.ā
āWill you give yourself to the spirits to save your prince?ā āIt is my destiny.ā
And most of the times where Merlin risked his life for Arthur, he didnāt even know.
Thatās why the ending leaves a bitter taste in your mouth.
āI know now.ā
No, Arthur, you donāt, and Merlin had just started telling you, had just admitted that you were his destiny, the mere purpose and sole reason as to why he was still living, and you didnāt know the half of it.
Merlin could have finally show how devoted to Arthur he had always been.
But his so called destiny snatched that chance away from him.
#if arthur had heard even one of these#he would have married merlin#no questions asked#thank you very much#merthur#bbc merlin#merlin#arthur pendragon#merlin bbc#arthur would have been the one to learn how to walk on his knees#opsš¤#sorry not sorry

ASK: ahhh iām obsessed w ur adler headcanons!! pretty pretty plsss could we have more soft!adler headcanons? or maybe a few headcanons for how adler might react to realising heās slowly falling for bell!reader before they discover the brainwash twist?? š„ŗšš either way just wanna express my appreciation for how you characterise him!! <3
Author's Note: Tehe back at it idk. This was an ask I got months ago but just had incredibly bad writer's and art block. Trying to get those creative juices flowing again! Thank you so much for the ask and the kind comments anon. I really really appreciate it. Hope you enjoy! <3 (your ask disappeared after i put it into Tumblr drafts??)
More Soft!Adler Headcanons:
In the morning before work, Russell wakes up a little earlier than you to spend some more time on his appearance. You see him shaving his few day old stubble and decide to help him out, taking the razor. Heād study your facial expression as you concentrate on going round each jagged edge of his scar, making sure to not cut him. His blue eyes tracing every little mark on your face, absolutely in awe of how beautiful you are even when you furrow your brows and heād gently push a strand or two of hair out the way that had fallen over your eye. As you rinse the blade under the tap, heād grab your chin and peck your lips, getting the taste of shaving foam in your mouth and you two would laugh about it.
I can imagine in Winter, Russell and his s/o ordering hot chocolate with some cream on top/coffee, walking and talking. When he notices your cream/foam moustache, he chuckles to himself but you pay it no mind, thinking it was his response to something you said. But he chuckles again and you question him. -> āOh uh nothing. You just uhā¦got a little um...hold on.ā Heād lean in and lick your lips before planting a kiss on them and leaning back to look at you with a smile, leaving you dumbfounded.
Witty jokes and comments that make you think how the hell did he come up with that one are definitely on the menu. Russell will sometimes randomly just burst into Russian or German mode and will try and teach you some words and jokes too. Mostly the swear words because everybody wants to know the swear wordsĀ
Adler and his fellow operatives were chatting one day in public with their gear on as they were on their way back to a hotel for the night before their early morning flight but the sight of kids running up to him caught his eye. They asked him questions, the usual ones, the story behind the scar and what he does for a living. At first, he wasnāt exactly the warmest towards them but when one of the kids begged him to pick them up, he grumbled and gave in, watching them just take his sunglasses and the other asking if they could touch the scar, earning a smile from him. Him an his group sat down and spent some time kicking a ball around and taking the time out for the children before they had to head back. Adler gave them all fistbumps and bent down to plant a cap on one of their heads with a wink and a side smile -> āKeep it. I donāt need it, kid.ā
Slowly falling for Bell!Reader Headcanons: Part 1
Russell Adler didnāt think it was possible to be honest. Him falling for another person. Always thought of himself as a lone wolf after his divorce. Never took any interest in dates or anything because he simply didnāt have the time and partly due to a fear of being hurt again that he refused to acknowledge
Yet he found himself weirdly drawn to you. Maybe it was a sick and twisted fantasy of his, the visage of him being a human, cracking with every fleeting touch. The true monster in him seeping out, revealing his true colours
When he picked you up and out of the SUV in Trabzon, he felt nothing. Perhaps some sense of accomplishment as he was one step closer to locating the man heād been chasing for 13 years but nothing more. As the initial interrogations continued in a secure location and your balaclava was yanked off by his own hands, a part of him knew heād get attached when he saw you, in your rawest formĀ but he quickly pushed that thought away as fast as it appeared in his mind. But itād creep up every now and then during the experimentation as heād speak into the microphone and exhale the smoke through his nose as he stared at you through the glass, watching you carefully before dipping his head as he hears you let out a gut-wrenching scream and struggle in the chair, putting out his cigarette and calling it a day.
Heād catch a whiff of your perfume nearby to where he was working in the safehouse. The perfume on your wrists stayed behind on the desk after your leaned over to pass him something or rested your forearms on the desk. The subtle scent of your shampoo and body wash in the bathroom, lingering in the air. Heād inhale deeply and close his eyes, imagining you as his head resting on the back of his chair for a few moments before he stopped himself and his eyes snapped open, making sure nobody was nearby as if he was scared someone could read his thoughts.
A candle youād left on for him as he worked late into the night once was never forgotten. Adler would relight it to remind himself of you when you were gone on a mission with the others, telling himself itās just because it smells nice.
A Brick in the Wall: As Bell took photos of Kraus, Russell would glance over at her, watch you paying attention, adjusting the camera lens, sticking your tongue out as the camera shutter clicked and a small smile would creep onto his lips before he looked away and cleared his throat, giving you your next order. God, what was he thinking?
Some things however were just pure protective instinct. Like grabbing your forearm to pull you away from the railing as you stepped up onto to look over the edge of a balcony at night. He needed you alive for the mission of course, no other reason
Ā Or when heād tuck his extra magazines into your ammo packs and make sure all your straps and harness were tight enough. Or even holding his arm out and across your chest when he had to hit the brakes hard while driving with a gentle you okay? after a few beats of silence
Or when heād bought some food and you were out of it after an MK-Ultra session during the early days and heād give you a little extra without a word to keep your strength up, looking into your eyes briefly as you cried but the guilt was creeping up on him and heād leave before you sobbed. Heād close the door just as you burst into tears, his hand on the doorknob behind him and heād sigh deeply, his eyes shut, trying to compose himself before walking off to find Park. Theyāre just a red. Heād remind himself constantly. But just a kid tooā¦
Desperate Measures: As Belikov let the two of you in and you took out the guards and changed into their uniforms, he couldnāt help but sneak a few glances. Before you walked up the stairs, he stopped you and checked you over, head to toe, the expression on his face neutral but his mind was in overdrive. Russell took a step closer and his hands found the bottom of your skirt and tugged on it, pulling it down so it revealed less. A single nod and his lips a thin line before he turned and walked off. He refused to admit he didnāt want anyone looking at you the way he did.
He finds himself a little self conscious. This isnāt like him..since when was Russell motherfuckinā Adler worried about the way he was perceived by a red of all people? Putting more aftershave on himself, a spray of cologne to mask the smell of cigarettes that had found its way into his clothing after years of the bad habit. A quick check in the mirror to adjust his outfit and hair before pushing the bridge of his sunglasses up and into place
Safe to say, you took him by surprise. He was of course impressed by your combat and cryptography skills as well as endurance during MK-Ultra, thinking it was such a shame you were on the wrong side. Began thinking of what-ifsā¦
After one particularly gruelling session, you were screaming and refusing to take the pills that Park was giving you to help you sleep, saying they made you want to vomit and the anti-sickness was not doing anything but Park explained that she couldnāt do much about it. Russell heard this from the other side of the door as he walked past your room late at night, telling Sims to source a different medicine he knew of. The next day, he entered your room as you wailed again, thrashing against your cot and he adminstered a dose, barely speaking to you before leaving again but as you clutched his hand, he rubbed his thumb across the back of your hand before letting go. Your touch overwhelmed him.
When heād see you hang out and play poker or some board games with the others as he was filing reports and chasing up contacts, a tiny frown would form on his face, heād start picking at the skin on his lips as he watched them or heād look down and dust his pants off or fiddle with a pen, anything to distract himself from the green-eyed monster
If he heard you singing a song in the other room, heād put it on for you in the car without a word spoken, you just staring at Adler as if to say how did you know that?
On one chilly night, you fell asleep in the dark room and Adler stood there in the doorway, looking at you, your breathing steady, face rid of anguish and you looked at peace in the red light. Slowly, he made his way over and draped his jacket round your shoulders, thinking to himself itās just what any decent person would do. Canāt have his tool catching a cold nowā¦
During stakeouts, Russell would start telling you random facts about himself heās never told another person, saying to himself youāll be gone soon anyways, that you were an outsider so thatās why it was easier to talk to you.
This feeling he had only seemed to grow with each mission. Instead of letting the others help you out when injured, heād grip your shoulder as soon as they got in, steering you towards the nearest stool before anyone had a chance to say anything and command you to sit, treating you like the dog you are while he fetched the supplies.
As the weeks passed, heād take you to your room and patch you up there, wanting some one-on-one time with you, making casual conversation, half to distract you from the pain and half to suppress the thoughts going round in his mind about being so close to losing you
He made you laugh once or twice and couldnāt stop thinking about it. It sounded even better than when Woods or the other crew members made you laugh and it made him smile to which you pointed out but he stood up and left shortly after, his standard, stoic expression returning to his face
Adler would stay up on a few occasions to make sure you slept, scanning your face as the pills began to take effect, his arms folded as he stood, looming over you, his finger scratching at his arm even though it wasnāt itchy. It was just unease which he consistently pushed down but he noticed he was getting more fidgety when it came to you. Almost like the guilt was eating him from the inside out. Heād take off his watch, place his cigs on the side and settle into a chair, telling himself itās just for a few minutes but once he did stay the whole night, leaving before the others woke up. Nobody ever knew
If you ever asked about your time together as friends and during Vietnam when youād having trouble remembering, heād keep it short and sweet, but every now and then heād make up something that was what he wished it would have been like. Nothing too out there.
During mission briefings, heād find himself laying his attention on you the most as he talked, wanting to know you were really listening to him and secretly asking for your input too and once the others had returned to what they were doing before, heād pull you to the side, asking you if you were okay with the plan and if thereās anything you need to go over. I mean, you were the main star of course so it makes sense but his hand would reach for your upper arm and then retract. Boundaries, Adlerā¦
One thing that killed him though was the fact that you only ever grabbed him out of fear, during MK-Ultra when you didnāt want him to leave, when in agony from a gunshot wound, or just as you dropped off to sleep after he injected your when you were being disobedient. Couldnāt admit he wanted you to grab onto him in desperation as he- Get a grip, Adler! When did he start thinking of you like that?
After Cuba, he felt nothing. No sense of accomplishment yet as he was one step further away from locating the man heād been chasing for 13 years but now he was two steps closer to saying goodbye to you for goodā¦

The third candle of advent: JOY
"Thus Aslan feasted the Narnians till long after the sunset had died away, and the stars had come out; and the great fire, now hotter but less noisy, shone like a beacon in the dark woods, and the frightened Telmarines saw it from far away and wondered what it might mean. The best thing of all about this feast was that there was no breaking up or going away, but as the talk grew quieter and slower, one after another would begin to nod and finally drop off to sleep with feet towards the fire and good friends on either side, till at last there was silence all round the circle, and the chattering of water over stone at the Fords of Beruna could be heard once more. But all night Aslan and the Moon gazed upon each other with joyful and unblinking eyes." Prince Caspian, C. S. Lewis
