- Top 5 H/L Fics -

1️⃣ You Drive Me Round The Bend by TheCellarDoor / @donotdialnine {M, 77k}

In which Louis is a spoilt rich kid who’s always on the phone while he drives and Harry is a struggling musician making his way down the mountain. It’s just a matter of time before they crash and burn.

2️⃣ Have Love, Will Travel by @kingsofeverything {E, 97k}

Rather than spend the summer working at their desks, Louis and Harry are given the opportunity to crisscross the country together in a tiny camper, filming their adventures for a YouTube series.

It soon becomes obvious to their viewers that there’s something more than friendship between them. Eventually, they figure it out.

3️⃣ Looking Through You by @allwaswell16 {E, 41k}

Just as Louis and Liam were starting out in the music industry, writing and producing for up and coming artists, a fateful meeting with new pop singer Harry Styles changes everything. Four years later, just as Harry is set to embark on his next world tour, a drunken confession causes a rift between once inseparable friends. As Harry tries to make sense of his feelings for Louis, he begins writing his next album to express them as it may be the only way to break through the walls that Louis has built between them.

4️⃣ After Hours by thilia {E, 99k}

Liam is bored with his job at the law firm. Nothing exciting ever happens. That changes drastically when he agrees to mentor the boss’s sixteen year old son, who turns heads wherever he goes. Especially Liam’s colleague Louis seems unable to resist the boy’s charms. Liam never thought he’d get to see this much of both of them, or that mentoring would turn into an R-rated event or that it would suddenly make his own love life a whole lot more interesting…

5️⃣ Take Me Higher Than I've Ever Been by crimsontheory / @ireallysawanangel {E, 51k}

Harry is pretty simple. He goes to work everyday, comes home, then watches Netflix with his cat. And if he happens to have a tiny little crush on his coworker, then that’s just his own business.

[Or the one where Harry and Louis work together and Louis starts to notice Harry back. Featuring a wedding, a sassy cat, and first times.]

HIDDEN GEMS:

💎 you are my destiny (you are the reason that i still believe) by @alwaysxlarrie {M, 98k}

Being a new employee at a company means that you have to learn to brush off the shitty bosses, shitty coworkers, and not getting the credit you actually deserve for things. At least, that's been Harry Styles' experience. Coworkers who steal his ideas in pursuit of getting praise and a raise, and a boss who's indifferent at best and condescending at worst. Harry has learned to expect this reality for the foreseeable future. He's accepted it.

What he hadn't expected was for Louis Tomlinson to waltz into their company, and his life, and change around everything he thought he knew about fate. A Cinderella AU.

💎 You Ain’t Gotta Feel Fear Just Mingle by LadyLondonderry / @londonfoginacup {T, 32k}

Harry has been at his dream job for less than three months, and he knows two things for sure; first, his project manager doesn't know what he's doing, and second, someone in the office is apparently pure evil, and no one will tell Harry who it is.

Oh, and the guy who works in conservation at the other end of the building is the most beautiful man Harry's ever seen, even when wielding a hot iron as a weapon.

💎 what's left of my halo's black by LiveLaughLoveLarry / @loveislarryislove {E, 22k}

As Harry sucks lovebites into Louis’ neck, Louis hopes that one day those marks will cover the way he can still feel Alex’s handprints burned into his flesh.

As Harry’s nails drag scratches along Louis’ back, Louis hopes that one day the scabs on his heart will heal and drop away just like the scabs on his skin.

As Harry fucks him down into the mattress, the bed shaking with every thrust, Louis hopes that one day his mouth will forget the shape of Alex’s name, won’t trace it over and over as the heat builds inside him, won’t want to scream it when he comes. Maybe one day he’ll open his eyes, as he slowly floats down from his post-orgasm haze, and won’t expect to see Alex’s face smiling back at him.

But today is not that day.

A year after a devastating breakup, Louis is still trying to put himself back together - but getting over a breakup is hard when you work as a wedding planner. Thankfully, his coworker Harry is the most supportive friend Louis could ask for. But Harry has some secrets of his own, and they send Louis' world spinning off its axis all over again.

💎 You Tilted My Hand by @taggiecb {G, 12k}

Harry Styles arrives in Avonlea, Prince Edward Island for his first day of a coveted and prestigious summer internship at the Avonlea Chronicle. He's quick to realise that he's out of place in the little band of journalists as he's an art major and they didn't choose Harry to be part of the team!

Thankfully his new boss, Niall, wants to give him a chance. Unfortunately that will mean trying to keep up not only with the stress of the job, but PEI's golden boy Louis Tomlinson, who has a perpetual smile on his lips, and mischief in his eyes.

💎 Blame It On Christmas by Kikiberoski16 / @larrysballetslippers {E, 7k}

Life was good until a new coworker showed up. It’s a little insane but not even a little bit funny how much Harry instantly despised the new guy. He’s always late, but always shows up with the most charming smile so nobody can get mad. His desk is a mess and he doesn’t seem to have ever learned the words ‘thanks’ or ‘sorry.’ And as if a bad employee isn’t bad enough, this particular bad employee is none other than the CEO's nephew, Louis fucking Tomlinson.

Or, Harry is the six-time winner of the yearly Christmas sweater competition, but it all changes when a new coworker shakes up his whole world.

The party's grandpa has a lot to put up with.

Numbers

“There were two different number systems in use in Middle Earth; the duodecimal system (base 12) and the decimal system that we use today. Interestingly Tolkien tells us that although "in Common Eldarin the multiples of three, especially six and twelve, were considered especially important" the decimal system developed first - "and eventually beside the decimal numeration a complete duodecimal system was devised for calculations".

Although he goes on to say that "the special words for 12 (dozen), 18 and 144 (gross) were in general use" we don't have any record of what that special number for 18 might have been in any language. Tolkien further noted that "for general purposes the numeral names were decimal in origin". This is why the numbers for 20, 30 and so on mean 'two tens', 'three tens'.”

The numbers 13-19 are reconstructed from Quenya.

1 - min

2 - tâd

3 - neledh

4 - canad

5 - leben

6 - eneg

7 - odo/odog

8 - tolodh/toloth

9 - neder

10 - cae/caen/pae-

11 - Minib

12 - Ýneg

13 - Neleb

14 - Canab

15 - Leben

16 - Eneph

17 - Odoph

18 - Toloph

19 - Nederph

These then, are the deduced numbers 20 - 90 using Tolkien's later material. I suggest that these are for Sindarin as spoken by the Elves, and the original forms as written in the King's Letter are Gondorian Sindarin

20 - Taphaen

30 - Nelphaen

40 - Cambaen

50 - Lephaen

60 - Enephaen

70 - Odophaen

80 - Tolophaen

90 - Nederphaen

100 - Haran

Numbers like 33, 67, 82 etc. can be formed like this Nelphaen a neledh = Thirty and three (33) or Neledh a nelphaen = Three and thirty

Enephaen a odog = Sixty and seven (67) or Odog a enephaen = Seven and sixty

Tolophaen a dâd = Eighty and two (82) or Tâd a dolophaen = Two and eighty

For any number after 12 you just need to put -ui on the end to form the ordinal, e.g. nederphaenui = 90th

1st - Minui

2nd - Tadui

3rd - Nelui

4th - Canthui

5th- Lefnui

6th - Enchui

7th - Othui

8th - Tollui

9th - Nedrui

10th - Paenui

11th - Minibui

12th - Ýnegui

[cheesycaracal]

I was so excited once I finished Thilia, and just wanted to continue with a different character as soon as possible. I started Thilia's lover, Beau next, but because I'm still not familiar with Procreate, after a while I just went back to my PC and started Alicia instead. 

I gave some thought of Thilia's role in a rogue-like game too. As I previously mentioned, she'd be an ally for sure, and I still have a strong feeling that she would give one-use items and small boons, boosting that sweet-sweet dmg. After that I realized that she enjoys cooking, and she also started to learn about medical herbs, so she could definitely provide food-based items that can have other beneficial effects. If you have progressed enough in her 'quest' or improved the bond with her, she'd just give an item time to time for free as a gift, probably stronger items as the relationship grows. Because she is a caster, I can imagine that she could give a temporary armor too, but I think this should be something tied to her quest as she learns more about her magical abilities. 

She could be found in the kitchen area cooking and creating potions, or she could tend the garden with Akiya, her teacher. I can imagine that she goes back to her room learning new recipes, or just disappears to spend some time with her boyfriend (so she wouldn't be a romanceable character, sorry :( ). Other times she could be found next to a pond - perhaps a random encounter in the first big area, but in that case this would be a rare occasion and unlocking a healing pond is a must to meet her during a run. 

Unlike the antihero Alicia, who would be another obstacle in the second or third area, not thinking the main character is strong enough to take the BBEG, Thilia would be full of support. She'd feel anger towards Alicia for sure, and she wouldn't be happy that the necromancer is in the camp. Thilia just couldn't accept the fact that Alicia is an ally somehow, and she would speak her mind harshly and clearly. 

Ohboy, she could have a ton of roles thanks to her curious nature :D

General Rated Slash Fics Masterlist

a poem for small things (ao3) - dustyspines scorpius/james G, 11k

Summary: The evening feels like it’s descending into one of those moments that James, later in life, will recall as a catalyst for him falling deeper in love with Scorpius, more in love than he ever thought possible. One of those moments where he realises this love is eternal, so much bigger than he ever thought possible, so big he feels like he could drown in it some days.

Or, the one in which James tries to find out what Scorpius’ love language is by loving him in as many different ways as possible.

amaranthine (ao3) - penn_and_paige albus/gellert G, 3k

Summary: The first lesson Gellert learned in Durmstrang was silence.

When Albus held him close, red hair shot through with the golden sunlight, the barn’s air tinted with dust swirling around them, and said, “I love you,” Gellert cut his hand and cut Albus and would have cut the world until it bled itself dry if only it would keep his damn mouth shut.

So, no, Gellert never said I love you back.

A Mother's Touch (ao3) - L_awlietxoxx scorpius/albus G, 9k

Summary: Albus and Scorpius's relationship was never going to be easy - being who they are and who their fathers are. Add the natural ineptitude of teenaged boys for communication or expressing their feelings, and a disaster may brew. Sometimes, emotions are too big for words and too much to handle alone. Sometimes, you just need a mother's touch.

Lucky for them both, Ginny Potter is a very perceptive woman.

Love on Her Arm (ao3) - Eye_Greater_Than_Three harry/bill G, 18k

Summary: During a trip to Gringotts, Hyacinthe Potter discovered she met her soulmate, William Weasley.

Raven, Lion, Snake (ao3) - orphan_account draco/terry, harry/terry G, 4k

(Star)Gazing at You (ao3) - Three Guesses (Thr3eGuess3s) seamus/dean G, 3k

Summary: A ball is being held at Hogwarts to celebrate the end of fifth and seventh year exams. Scorpius has agreed to go with Rose, and Albus shouldn’t be as upset about that as he is. Dancing, fancy robes, obliviousness, and a small sprinkling of brotherly advice ensue.

Too Late To Apologise (ao3) - GhostIsReading harry/george, harry/viktor G, 4k

Summary: Harry is dating George after the war (Fred didn’t die). But George is distant and hardly ever spends time with him or Harry’s godson Teddy. Enter Viktor.

Waiting (ao3) - hopeforrain seamus/blaise G, 2k

RGG/Middle Earth Ficlet 2 ("Beneath the Starlight")

Months ago, I wrote an RGG/Middle Earth ficlet with Nishiki as an elf prince. Now, after months of ruminating and chatting with @saniremon (another RGG/Tolkien fan), I created a new one-- this time featuring Kiryu as a human ranger/heir of Gondor (aka, Aragorn), and Kaoru as a Silvan elf in Mirkwood (a mix of Tauriel and Arwen).

@saniremon @majimemegoro @unhingedselfships This one's for you guys <3 I hope you like it!

(Sindarin Elvish translations:

"Daro" = "Halt"

"Êl síla erin lû e-govaned vîn" = "A star shines upon our meeting"

"Ech pengor vaen ar maecheneb" = "You are an archer skilled and sharp-eyed"

"Veleth chîn thilia mi chinech" = "Your love glitters in your eyes"

"Gerich veleth nín" = "You have my love")

The Woodland Realm was eerily quiet.

This did nothing to ease Kazuma Kiryu, who kept one hand at the hilt of his sword as he trekked through the thick green forest. His senses were on high alert, and he kept a close watch for orcs or giant spiders– just in case.

Once, this had been a great, beautiful kingdom of elves. Kiryu had heard many stories about Mirkwood’s prosperity from Lord Tetsu Tachibana, and he couldn’t help the pang of sadness as he looked around at the trees. What he wouldn’t give to have seen this kingdom at the height of its greatness, when the elves and dwarves were still close friends.

But alas, those days were over. The Silvan elves were as reclusive as ever, and the hostility between them and the dwarves had only grown in these past years. The dangers in the Woodland Realm were getting stronger, and from what Kiryu had heard, Elvenking Yoshitaka Mine had become even more reclusive to the outside world.

As the heir to the throne of Gondor, Kiryu was already on good terms with most of the elves. He had the friendship of Lord Tachibana, and the trust of Lady Seong-hui, but Elvenking Mine still remained mistrustful of him.

The path to the Enchanted River was strangely silent. For once, Kiryu didn’t encounter many orcs or spiders that were trying to kill him. Kiryu wasn’t sure if he should be relieved, but he kept his guard up nonetheless.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of rustling leaves from his left. Kiryu’s hand went straight to his sword hilt, but before he could even blink, an arrow appeared right in front of him, pointed straight at his nose. And pointing the arrow at his face was a very familiar she-elf. 

“Daro!” She ordered sternly.

Kiryu slowly raised his arms, unable to hide his smile at the elf. 

“You haven’t changed at all, Kaoru,” he said. “Is that how you always greet travelers through the Woodland Realm?” 

Kaoru Sayama, head of the Woodland Guard, immediately lowered her bow. The sharpness in her dark-brown eyes faded into something gentler as she smiled, and it made her even lovelier. 

“Êl síla erin lû e-govaned vîn,” Kaoru said warmly, circling her arms around him in a warm embrace. “I’ve been waiting to see you again, Kazuma.”

Kiryu returned the embrace with a smile. “Ech pengor vaen ar maecheneb,” he greeted, seamlessly switching to Sindarin. “It’s good to see you again, Kaoru.”

He pulled back to look at his betrothed and appreciate her beauty. Like many other Silvan elves, Kaoru’s pointed ears had a slight curve to them. Her face had a smoothness like all elves, but there was also a unique sharpness to her features that made her even more pleasing to the eyes. And with her neat hunting greens and her pin-straight hair neatly brushed out of her face, she looked as regal as ever.

“And what brings the heir to Gondor into Mirkwood at this hour?” Kaoru asked with a teasing lilt in her voice.

“I only hoped to see you again,” Kiryu said to her. “It has been far too long since we last met.”

Kaoru smiled warmly. “You must be weary from your travels,” she said. “Come, Kazuma. Let me take you to the Elvenking’s Halls.”

Not one to refuse an elf’s hospitality, Kiryu immediately obeyed.

“The woods have been quiet lately. Hardly any orcs or spiders showed their faces,” Kiryu remarked as he followed Kaoru. “You must have been busy.”

“That I have.” Kaoru’s smile was sad. “We may have triumphed over the orcs, but it is only a matter of time before their shadow returns. The forest is safe for now, but it won’t be long before the orcs are back. But the Elvenking won’t even consider calling for aid from Lady Seong-hui or Lord Tachibana.”

Kiryu frowned. “Has he become more reclusive?”

“Yes, and he has grown more distrustful towards outsiders, especially Men.”

“I see…”

After a moment’s pause, Kaoru changed the subject. “Did you ever meet the Rangers of Ithilien during your travels?” she asked, eyes filled with hope.

From any other elf, it would be an innocent question. But Kiryu could hear the other question hidden within.

“We met them a few times, yes,” Kiryu answered. “Ryuji is doing well.”

“I haven’t seen my brother in ages,” Kaoru said wistfully. “When you see him again, please tell him that he will always be welcome in the Elvenking’s hall.”

“I will,” Kiryu promised. 

Unlike Kaoru, her older stepbrother wasn’t a full-blooded elf. Ryuji Goda was actually half-elven, though he’d chosen to be counted among the race of Men instead of the elves. Kiryu was fully aware of this, though it made him sad that Ryuji didn’t try to visit his younger sister more. It wasn’t as though Ryuji didn’t love his little stepsister– however, he’d said something about ‘not belonging among the elves’ as an explanation for not visiting. 

Kiryu only hoped that Ryuji would eventually try to visit Mirkwood– if only for Kaoru’s sake.

After a short while, they reached the gate of the Elvenking’s Halls. The guards outside were quick to welcome Kiryu, and they immediately opened the gates to let them both inside.

Kiryu had visited the Elvenking’s Halls many times before, but its beauty never failed to take his breath away. With towering archways made of wood, intricate gold gilding the columns, and shafts of sunlight shining down into the caves, the halls had an earthiness that set it apart from Lothlórien and Rivendell. 

The Elvenking’s servants and officials were quick to welcome Kiryu into the halls. The same could not be said for Elvenking Yoshitaka Mine. He gave Kiryu a brusque welcome, then ordered his servants to prepare a chamber for his stay, then ordered them both to leave him be. Indeed, he’d gotten even more reclusive since the last time Kiryu had visited.

But despite the king’s chilly welcome, the warm hospitality of the other Mirkwood elves more than made up for it.

“It’s good to see you again, Kazuma Kiryu,” greeted Yuya, one of the elven guards. “Your presence has brought much needed cheer to these halls.”

“Mae govannen, Yuya,” Kiryu greeted him. “It’s good to be back here.”

“You should join us for dinner tonight,” spoke Kazuki, another guard. “The captain has been waiting to dine with you for months.”

Kiryu smiled. “So I’ve heard.”

“Come, Kiryu!” Yuya clasped his shoulder with an amiable smile. “Let us enjoy dinner together!”

Hours later, after a wonderful supper, Kiryu found himself in a secluded rock garden beneath a large opening to the starry night sky. White flowers blossomed around him, their sweet fragrance lingering in the air as a small stream snaked through the grass. It wasn’t as spectacular as the gardens in Lothlórien or Rivendell, but it was beautiful all the same.

It also helped that it was his favorite meeting spot– and Kaoru’s, too.

Kaoru had changed from her hunting greens into a simple, forest-green gown embroidered with simple patterns along the neckline and hem. And around her neck, she wore a golden chain with a star-shaped pendant hanging from it.

“Do you remember the night we first met?” Kaoru reminisced softly, taking Kiryu’s hands into her own. “I mistook you for an orc and nearly riddled you with my arrows.”

Kiryu smiled fondly. Oh, he wouldn’t forget that first meeting— especially the mortified apology she gave him after learning that he wasn’t an orc or mere thief. 

“You were a vision,” he remembered. “The forest was so quiet, and the skies so clear. There were so many stars that night. I thought I was seeing the Queen of the Valar herself.”

A faint blush dusted Kaoru’s cheeks. Kiryu gently cupped her cheek in his palm.

“You brought me here many years ago– during the Feast of Starlight,” he recalled, remembering that beautiful night. “You told me how you always loved the light of the stars. And it was that same night when I fell for you.”

“Yes… and it was that same night when you opened your heart to me, and I knew at that moment that you were my other half.” Kaoru rested her hand over his. “Your time will come one day, meleth nîn. You will face the same evil as Gondor’s heir, and you will defeat it. And when that time comes, I will be by your side.”

Kiryu looked down. He didn't like to think of his responsibilities. Truth be told, he still didn't feel worthy of being the heir to Gondor. He knew that he would have to accept this duty one day, but it was a daunting thought.

So he pushed it out of his head for now.

“Your faith in me is so strong, Kaoru,” Kiryu murmured, leaning closer to her. “Veleth chîn thilia mi chinech.”

Kaoru’s eyelids lowered, and she leaned even closer. “Gerich veleth nín, Kazuma,” she whispered. “For now, and for eternity.”

Their lips met. And for the first time in months, Kiryu was at peace. He didn't think about being the heir to Gondor, about facing evil in the future.

For now, he kissed Kaoru beneath the stars, and let the rest of the world fall away.

"The song that leaves her chest echoes around them, whispering up and down the halls hauntingly. The flames of the torches seem to dance to the tune as there is no wind to account for their sharp slaps against the stones as they try to follow Thilia up the steps." (Haldir x oc)

BauFachForum Baulexikon: Für euch immer an vorderster Stelle.

Guten Tag, sehr geehrte Kolleginnen und Kollegen,

aus unserer Rubrik Lehrstellenbörse und Ausbildung haben wir euch wieder einen neuen spannenden Beitrag erstellt.

Viel Spaß beim Studieren von unserem Beitrag aus unserem Baulexikonbegriffen über Ritter aus dem Mittelalter und dem dazugehörigen Video. Natürlich wieder mit spannender Musik von den Rittertagen aus Pfullendorf.

Thema heute:

Wer sind die Weltenkrieger?

Seit 2006 ist die Band Weltenkrieger auf historsichen Märkten und anderen Veranstaltungen mit Ihren Sackpfeifen, Schalmeien und einer Vielzahl an Trommeln und Percussion unterwegs. Die Lieder anfänglich überwiegend traditionelle, wurden nach und nach von den aus eigener Feder stammendem Liedgut mehr und mehr verdrängt.

Die Weltenkrieger, Barden des Lichts wurden 2006 gegründet und stellt eine ganz besondere, Weltklasseband in der Musikrichtung Mittelaltermusik dar.

Begonnen hat alles mit einer 6 köpfigen Band. Dabei sind die Liedern und Songs, natürlich mit alten Instrumenten aus dem Mittelalter zu 90 % aus der eigenen Feder. Die Musiker wechselten dabei meist nach den Bedürfnissen der geforderten Musikrichtung der Veranstaltungen.

Die Weltenkrieger 2024:

Mit der Corona-Krise veränderte sich die Band und wurde zu einem festen Mitgliederstamm von 3 Stammspielern formiert. Die drei Mittelaltermusiker mit Sackpfeiffen und beeindruckenden Drums und Paukentönen, können nur als das Feinste aus der neuzeitlichen Mittelaltermusik bezeichnet werden.

Die treibende Kraft der Weltenkrieger - Barden des Lichts ist Mongan alias Harald Kunze, der auch die meisten Songs geschrieben und komponiert hat.

Bekannte historische Auftrittsorte:

Nach den Kaltenberger Ritterspielen arbeitete die Band an Ihrer dritten CD mit dem Titel Bewusstsein.

2010 kam die CD Ritual auf den Markt, bei dem die Musik-Laune sehr ruhig war. Die CD Rituale dann eine ganz neue Richtung der Lebhaftigkeit aufweist.

Auch wer zum Tanzen aufgelegt ist, sollte die Weltenkrieger nicht verpassen. Die Musik regt gerade dazu an, auf dem Rasen oder der Bühne zu tanzen.

Die Weltenkrieger über sich selber:

Wir versuchen ohne fremde Einflüsse zu bleiben, doch in anbetracht dessen, daß alles was uns umgibt alles und jeden stetig beeinflußt wird es uns sicherlich nicht gänzlich gelingen.

Dennoch sind wir bemüht!

I don't remember what Thilia's root word was rip

[arguablyancientfangirl]

Part of the experience of being a fangirl for me, has been *obligatory snort* writing fan fiction. Shocker, right? I know. I'll give you a moment to get a glass of water and settle down.

*waits*

Okay. The great majority of my work is on that archive of archives, A03, under the username melly_diamond (and no, no idea where that name came from, it just appeared one day, hanging in the stratosphere).

If you enjoy Teen Wolf, Given, BTR, Tokio Hotel, and HP (and no, I am not getting into a Rowling discussion with anyone - those works were created long before the current controversy), feel free to check out my stuff! Much of it was co-created with a talented podficcer and author, who goes by thilia, so whether you prefer to listen or read, it's out there for you.

Told my friend I always imagined Thilia to be taller than Piperkőc, and she adapted the idea 😏

[cristhiangb]

Notó al rocio el sonido de los girasoles.

Ganapies bonboras alumecía su delatre a orillas del lago espejo.

Thilia alunada en plata ufana suerte de záfiro perverso.

Al comienzo del eros cristalino sus hilos tejió.

Días de enero desapercibidos, murmullo ruido.. una desgracia acecha al primer cruzado. Los hijos de nadie verán a su hermano Kaer y lo alzarán.

Memoria y Gloria, nuevos pergaminos sellados, el templo onírico en silencio expectante.. cinco para las doce.

Psyque bifurca hidráica la ausencia de Razón.

Tres días de guerra antes del punto.

Ermitaño, Bufón y Hechicero presentan sus respetos.

En vísperas de luna nueva adanzaban los Patricios, cironeos unos de otros al crisol de las buenas nuevas.

Haz de llamarlo Rey apresuró un obispo alfil, su setronia innata lo delata.

(No habló.)

Rompe el murmullo a falto de dos soles, las sombras irrumpen.. nombres en velo, ciertos ciervos austrios perecen al cruzar la frontera.

Se abren las puertas del palacio, Demócrates grita y asusena al principado. Patricios inbolches de Torres frente al vulgo, unos de otros viendo los ojos que visten.

Incaros fatuos vallumbran al fuego, los primeros caen.

Inicia.

[cheesycaracal]

And the finished animation is finally here, horray \o/

The rendering took me a lot of time, because at first I tried to shade every drawn frame, but it was extremely confusing to look at. So, copy-paste came to rescue me once again, I did some mental gymnastics here and there to get smooth transitions from one blended shape to another, aand here we are.

Halfway there I wasn't sure if I wanted it to look this way or if it even works, but thankfully the colors give a ton of late night mood, which, I think, gives another layer to it. Late night, you are alone with your thoughts and struggles, and someone comes to check up on you, if you are okay.

Sadly this didn't happen during the played out sessions, even though there was an opportunity to make it real. With the help of the party, Beau almost achieved what he wanted for almost a decade, but in the end, they failed due to circumstances they couldn't prepare for. I dare to say it was pretty depressing for him, and unfortunately, back then Thilia was still a bit afraid to handle the situation, knowing how impulsive her nature is. She wanted to help and offer her support, but since they weren't together at that point, it also didn't feel right for her to just tenderly touch his face :DD So she was just there, trying to be convincing about other possible methods - with no real success. She still plans on helping him as soon as an opportunity arises, even offering a wish spell if she ever gets one.
