Il terzo occhio (The Third Eye, 1966)

"I'll stay. Under one condition."

"Yes, yes."

"I want to be your wife."

"My wife?"

"You're sick, Mino, and you know it. You also know that you'll never get better. It's pointless deceiving yourself. You'll always be looking for new victims. Only a woman who shares everything with you can understand you and help you. I'll be an understanding wife, for better and - above all - for worse."

look at me with love tears in your eyes

◇ characters ◇ zhongli

◇ tags ◇ minors dni, yandere, unhealthy & toxic relationship, dependency, dacryphilia, zhongli with a sadistic streak, overstimulation, dragon!li

◇ a/n ◇ my brain hatched this soft-but-sadistic yan!zhongli so excuse me while i just.... *dumps this idea to you*

𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑡 ⬙ 𝑡𝑎𝑔𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑡

zhongli loves it when you obediently listen to him, looking up with silent affection and all your attention. your ears focused on his smooth voice, your eyes reflecting his visage, your lips curling in a contented smile; all of your senses being filled with him, and only him.

zhongli loves it when you seek him out specifically for help. it can be the most mundane of tasks, like asking him to get an item stored in a place you can't reach. it could be a simple request like asking him to get some groceries (he'll sneakily put your favorite snacks in there too), or a complicated one like picking a set of clothes that suits you better (he thinks you look good in everything; because how could you not?). and he knows the silent requests, the unspoken plea of help when you gruffly complain into his chest as you tell him how you had the worst day in your life (it's okay. he'll make your day better. and he'll make sure that those who made it a bad day in the first place buried a thousand feet under the ground).

but zhongli loves it most when you cry.

there's just something about your tears. about the overflow of emotions in your eyes and the way they glisten against your skin.

zhongli loves it when you cry out of sadness. so vulnerable and pitiful, choked sobs and broken breaths. all broken and cracked, with him being the only string that holds you up from completely falling and shattering against dark concrete. all it takes is one push and you would be at his mercy. all it takes is a few comforting words and you'd nuzzle against him lovingly. he can make or break you and he knows it. you're quite lucky he has no desire to do the latter.

zhongli loves it when you cry out of joy. sometimes they're accompanied by a peal of wheezing laughter, other times they're a symphony of giggles and soft choked sobs. it's adorable. it's endearing. knowing that he made you so happy to the point of crying... love bleeds from his heart and covers his whole being and so who can blame him for smothering you in it?

zhongli loves it when you cry out of overstimulation. trembling hands trying to dig and push him away as he insists that you take more of him. more more more moremoremoremore. all your senses, all of your body and soul, all your heart - they belong to him and he'll make sure he takes a good care of you. so fall into this little heaven he creates for you and never try to look for your way out.

because when you make a deal with a drago̵̼͂n, there's no escape - not even in death.

With Reckless Choices - Leona Kingscholar x Reader Pt 9

This is one of the first chapters I completed and I am in love with it. I will always think of this scene when I hear this song now. Always.

Premise: He must be convinced. No matter what.

Words: 1,950

Music Inspiration: Baby - Clean Bandit (Feaet Marina & Luis Fonzi)

~~~Convince Him~~~

               Heart crushed and bleeding, I wait behind double doors. Designated members of the wedding party take their turns walking the aisle, marching along to the music. When the song dies out, notes of an organ take the air in its place. With a deep breath, I lift my chin, forcing a soft smile to my lips.

               Swinging wide, the doors subject me to the hall filled to the brim with people. Crossing the threshold, I begin my advance towards the men waiting at the other end. Vines of briar in full bloom wrap the room, adorn tables, and line the aisle while white petals dance the air among floating lights. I should’ve expected a wedding no less beautiful from the Draconias.

               Nearly halfway along the white aisle, I spot him. His feline eyes are so keenly focused on me, that gaze threatening to tear open my composure. Before I can break, however, I return my gaze to my fiancé in the hopes that his visage will pull me through this hell.

               As our officiant, Lilia, speaks, my thoughts begin to wander. Perhaps I could just walk out. Surely no one could blame me for not wanting to marry a man I’m not in love with. Who am I kidding. Of course they would. And the hazing of the world when they find out my dirty secret would torch not only my life. I simply cannot subject him to that.

               No matter how much I might wish things to be different.

               He speaks to my fiancé first. “Do you take this person to be your partner, to live together in marriage? For better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, and—forsaking all others—be faithful for as long as you both shall live?”

               I look my groom in the eyes, seeing his ruthlessness.

               “I do.”

               The shorter fae turns to me. “Do you take this person to be your partner, to live together in marriage? For better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, and—forsaking all others—be faithful for as long as you both shall live?”

               It feels as if I’m being flogged by these vows.

               Again, I see my savanna prince in the audience. There’s a spark in his eyes, the room waiting on baited breath for my answer. But I know what happens if I speak my heart.

               So I don’t.

               “I do.”

               I return the smile, mine just as genuine as his. Even as the ring slides onto my finger, it feels like a shackle.

               “Then by the powers vested in me by the Draconia family and the Kingdom of Briar Valley, I now pronounce you married. You may seal your promise with a kiss.”

               Chilled fingers glide across my cheek, brushing away a tear I hadn’t even realized escaped. That hand then sneaks into my hair, pulling me in for our first kiss—his fist clenching so hard it stings. The depth of the kiss sits on the edge of drowning me, his demand of my fealty absolute in the way his mouth moves against mine.

               When it breaks—when I’m nearly left in tears—his whisper ghosts my lips.

               “Well chosen.”

               Through my tears, I turn with him to face the audience. Thankfully, it only seems to add to my smile, leaving the audience unaware of my sentence. The glance I can’t restrain reveals a stony face, ears straining to remain straight and a clenched jaw. That kiss crushed his heart. Pain draws another tear, my hand gracefully brushing it away as I continue to smile.  

               The ceremony continues, every guest rising to congratulate the happy couple—with one exception. My husband and I share a glass of champagne and sign the marriage certificate. We’re whisked away to take photos while the hall is prepared for the reception. Toasts speak of our hopeful happiness and prosperity for the future, yet I can’t help noting none comment on the state of our relationship before this moment.

               Our first dance goes as perfectly rehearsed, yet as the song ends, a hand taps my husband’s shoulder. I’m mortified to see Leona and even more so when, rather than addressing my husband, he looks straight at me.

               “May I have this next dance?” Though his words are perfectly proper, they fall somewhat bluntly.

               My eyes rise to the fae’s face. There’s barely restrained fury. I can hardly keep from recoiling when he looks down at me—a warning glowing in his eyes as he nods.

               Fear coursing through my blood, I extend a hand to the lion.

               “Of course.”

               The dragon bows his head and steps away to give us space.

               This is where I belong, I can feel it. Warm hands, though rough in texture, hold me with a covetous reverence. Desire beyond measure rolls off him as if none other exists between us. Even so, the first few movements are incredibly tense until my dance partner finally speaks.

               “You look stunning,” he hums, obviously disturbed. “If only it weren’t for the sake of that damn lizard.”

               “Hush, Leona,” I warn lowly.

               He twirls me beneath his arm. “You know I mean every word.”

               “I know you do just…stop. Please.”

               Brows furrow as he pulls me back in.

               Like the coward I am, I can’t do it right now. “Just…dance with me.”

               With a roll of his eyes, my lion complies.

               This feels perfect: his hands on me, the ease of our movements, the intimate atmosphere floating between us. He looks gorgeous all dressed up and I want so badly to kiss him right now, but I know better. At least in the end, I got to have this moment with him. If only it could have lasted.

               With the end of the song, he keeps a hold of my hand, bowing to me. Then his head lifts, those eyes searching for my next move. Behind him, I can see an expectant expression.              

               “Meet me on the balcony overlooking the gardens on the third floor,” I murmur for only his ears. “Twenty minutes.”

               An ear flickers but Leona releases my hand and we part ways. No others approach me with requests to dance, so I take my leave of the dancefloor, heading straight for my new spouse.

               With a slight tilt of his head, he says, “I distinctly noted that there was no conversation.”

               “I…I’d rather do it in private.” Which is entirely true. “But I promise you, it will be done before the night ends.”

               “Good.”

               Minutes roll by, each one taking a little bit of my soul. When I notice Leona slip out of the wedding hall, I take my partner’s sleeve.

               “I’ll be back.”

               His eyes scan the room. “You have ten minutes.”

               Thankfully, I take my exit without drawing much attention, any dismissed with jokes about needing a restroom. That chattering of the reception hall falls away as I ascend the first flight of stairs, making way for the pounding in my chest. I hadn’t even considered what I would say but my thoughts are fumbling to come up with anything as the panic begins to rise.

               I’m going to lose him. The one person that actually gave me their attention and love I now have to cut off. All the happiness I’ve come to build with Leona is about to come to an end, to give way to the rest of my life as the lonely consort. Though this feels like preparing to tear my own heart out, one thing keeps my feet moving forward.

               “’Bout time you made it.”

               A cool breeze brushes my face. Across the way is Leona, leaning against the banister.

               Where normally a witty remark would be, my mouth instead clamps shut. It’s no surprise that he catches on.

               “What’s wrong?”

               Steps come just short of reaching him. Still, I choke down my words along with my sorrow.

               “Hey, let’s get outta here. I—”

               As Leona steps forward, I back up. This is it.

               The voice eeks past my lips. “We won’t be seeing each other anymore.”

               His ears flicker back but quickly straighten. “Very funny.” From inside his jacket, he pulls the marriage certificate signed not long ago. “You think this stupid piece of paper changes anything?”

               To my horror, the page dissolves into sand that blows away in the wind. Explaining that later will not be fun.

                He dusts his hands. “There. We could just—”

               “No.” The first tears break through. “We’re done.”

               Eyes scan over me, looking for the joke—waiting for me to take my words back. When none is found, those ears stay flat this time. I never could’ve been prepared for his devastated expression.

               “You can’t be serious.”

               “It’s over.” Hands raise, I put more space between us. “Let’s just…forget this ever happened. Please.”

               As I turn to hide my anguish, he snags my arm. “So what? You marry that fucking lizard and suddenly I’m the dirt beneath your shoes? You were supposed to choose me!”

               “I didn’t—”

               “You got what fun you could outta me and now you chose to be the model spouse? I’m just the plaything you got to use until it was time to step up to the throne?”

               “Leona, please—”

               “No! You were supposed to be the toy in this relationship! You were supposed to be the one thing I had over him! But you—” His grip tightens and so does the vice in his voice. “You made me actually fucking care about you! You made me think that maybe someone actually cared about me! You made me look forward to things! To a future! With you! And you think I can just forget all that?!”

               Knees tremble, the heartbreak nearly real. So he was just as helpless as I was.

               Lightning turns night to day for the briefest moment, a roaring boom rolling over the land. Those glaring green eyes from inside the castle pierce my chest like arrows. Time’s not up yet, but it’s about to be.

               I have an audience to convince.

               A deep breath stuffs down the grief. Anger borne from this situation, my life, myself, finds its way on my face as a mask. Facing the lion, I jerk out of his grasp.

               “Yes! I do! Because I’m married now and you said so yourself—this was just a stupid game! Is that what you wanted to hear?!”

               It’s his turn to retreat as I rant.

               “You thought you were the only one who gets to play with people’s hearts?! You thought you could get involved with me and not get burned?! Are you stupid?!”

               “Yeah, that’s how it started but—”

               “But what?! You’re a sore loser now that I’m the one dumping you?! Is that your problem?!” I hate myself so much right now.

               My name falls from his mouth.

               “Did you honestly think I would choose you?! That I would actually risk my life for a lazy, petty piece of shit like you?! Face it! You never stood a chance! The Draconias never lose! And this little farce is over! So stay away from me!”

               Oh Seven, he looks as if I actually put a knife in his chest. While I’m dying to take it all back, I need him to believe me. For his own sake, I need him to walk away.

               “Didn’t you hear me?! It’s over! Get out!”

               Jaw clenched, ears plastered against his skull, wounded, Leona averts his gaze and walks past me.

               It takes everything in me not to chase after him. Instead, my legs finally give as the dam of tears breaks.

               There goes my only happiness.

Airports, am I right? Great places to write. Here’s a short one. Fairly autobiographical as I’m returning from a short trip to see my long distance boyfriend. I hope you enjoy.

No more goodbyes

Your bags are packed and at your feet. Your cloak folded over your arm. “Is it time already?” Gale asks quietly. The normally boisterous wizard tends to get sullen toward the end of your visits.

“I’m afraid so,” you reply. You’d been traveling back and forth between your home in Baldur’s Gate and Gale’s tower in Waterdeep for about 6 months now.

He grabs his cloak from the peg by the door and ushers you out. He always walks you to the marina where you catch the boat back to Baldur’s Gate. The walk is short, but every step you take feels like a mile.

“I’ll be back in two weeks,” you say as you take his hand.

“I know,” he replies.

“I hope Tara doesn’t mind that I didn’t say goodbye to her before we left.”

“She’ll be fine,” the Wizard dismisses your concern.

“What about you? Will you be fine while I’m away?” you stop and face Gale.

“It gets harder every time,” he replies. “I don’t like the days you’re not here with me.”

“I don’t either,” you say, looking at your feet. While you know exactly where you want to be, you have made a commitment to the people of Baldur’s Gate to return it to a stable city. “You know, as soon as Wyll is ready to take leadership of the city, I’ll be here with you permanently.” You pause for a quick calculation. “By my estimates, 5 or 6 weeks max. I’ll be here for the holidays. And then there will be no more goodbyes.”

That makes Gale’s melancholy visage brighten a bit. “I can not wait for that day to arrive, my beautiful wife.”

“Wife?!” the term hits you in the face. There had been no proposal, no engagement, no ceremony.

“I know it’s not official, but that’s how I see you - as my wife. I hope that you can see me as your husband,” Gale flusters a bit.

You turn the thought over in your brain for a moment and realize that he’s right. You do think of Gale as your husband, official or not, and you want nothing more than to be with him for the rest of your life.

“Of course, husband. You have my entire heart,” you smile at Gale and take his hand again as you complete your walk to your boat.

heres another (hopefully daily) magicians question!! this one isn't really a question but uh just go with it-

assign a song to each of the magicians main characters, like a song that fits them and could be their 'theme song' of sorts

Oooooo shit… ok

I’m gonna have to do multiple for some of these cause it’s just impossible for me to capture my feelings about these characters in one song

So some of these are gonna be songs from the actual show because the association is very strong but some of them will just be vibes or lyrics

Quentin: Falling Apart by Slow Pulp, Kaleidoscope by Chappell Roan, Postdoc Blues by John K Samson, Someone New by Hozier

Eliot: Chinese Satellite by Phoebe Bridgers, Can’t Cool Me Down by Car Seat Headrest, Time To Pretend by MGMT, Phone In A Pool by Ben Folds

Alice: Philosophy by Ben Folds Five, Perpetuum Mobile by Penguin Café Orchestra, ballad of a homeschooled girl by Olivia Rodrigo

Julia: Are You Satisfied? By MARINA, The Suburbs by Arcade Fire

Margo: Beautiful Dreamer by Stephen Foster, Man’s World by MARINA, Bad Reputation by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts

Penny: Ghosting by Mother Mother, Pleasure Delayer by BETWEEN FRIENDS, Run Boy Run- Instrumental by Woodkid

Kady: Lovesick in Public by Zoe Ko, Blame Brett by The Beaches, Song 2 by Blur

Josh: You Make My Dreams (Come True) by Daryl Hall & John Oates, Break My Stride by Matthew Wilder

That’s not even half of it and I’m blanking for some of this- I’m sure I’ll have additions later

I could literally make a whole playlist for most of these guys

And remember before you say “that song doesn’t thematically fit that character” some of these just musically sound like that character to me, the lyrics have nothing to do with it

Plus some of these characters have songs to me that represent their pairings with others? Like of course Quentin and Eliot will always be Evolve by Phoria to me, Either Quentin and Alice or Quentin and Julia’s dynamic reads as Thérese by Maya Hawke imo, Julia and Quentin’s dynamic early on to me is Cheetah by Deux Visages, Eliot and Margo are a BUNCH of things including $20 by boygenius, Penny and Kady are kinda OMG by Suki Waterhouse but more in a musical sense not in a lyrical sense IDK MAN THERES SO MUCH AHHHH

[transparentgentlemenmarker]

Marina Amiral est une artiste de photographie numérique qui, depuis quelques années, s'attache à donner de la couleur à de célèbres photos en noir et blanc, une technique qui semble faire revivre le passé, lui donner une nouvelle vitalité et transmettre un sentiment de proximité renouvelée entre le sujet et l'observateur. L'une des photographies qui l'a le plus frappée, parmi celles qu'elle a retouchées, est certainement celle de Czeslawa Kwoka, une jeune Polonaise de quatorze ans, qui a fini ses jours à Auschwitz en 1943.

Czeslawa Kwoka a été déportée avec sa mère Katarzyna en décembre 1942 : la femme est morte le 18 février 1943, la jeune Czeslawa le 12 mars.

"Donner de la couleur aux photos de Czeslawa a été très difficile... Regarder son visage pendant si longtemps en sachant ce qui lui est arrivé a été douloureux."

Marina Amaral "Avec mon travail, je voulais donner à Czeslawa l'occasion de revenir en arrière et de "raconter" son histoire".

"Parce que donner de la couleur à une photo en noir et blanc, c'est faciliter notre sens de l'identification. Cela signifie rendre plus réels les signes de la maltraitance que ces personnes portaient sur leur visage. L'homme qui a pris les photographies originales, Wilhelm Brasse, était lui-même prisonnier d'Auschwitz. C'est lui qui a raconté les circonstances dans lesquelles les photos de Czeslawa ont été prises : la jeune fille ne comprenait naturellement pas l'allemand et elle a donc été battue par une femme chargée de garder les prisonniers. Czeslawa était l'un des quelque 230 000 mineurs déportés vers le camp de concentration d'Auschwitz.

Hello I didn’t pay attention to the direct after the Splatoon announcement so I took pictures.

So Wave 2 of the Splatoon 3 DLC pass will revisit the Inkopolis however as you can tell not everything is the same. This will definitely be another story mode campaign that will have agent 8 as the main character. There were many images that flashed that I took pictures of and I’ll review each one.

As you can see the Square is much different than what it was in Splatoon 2 whether this is the actual Square in its current state or a alternate version (like how we saw it recreated in that one level in Octo Expansion) is to be determined. The Lobby is replaced with this manor like building which I suspect will be the sort of hub area between the levels. Other than that the décor shows a lot of coral-like structures particularly dead coral that have been bleached by chemicals like we see in IRL oceans. This may tie to the central theme of the story where chemicals are affecting the world and the creatures of the campaign.

Here we see 8 sporting new gear for this new journey. The Splattershot looks more like a rifle with a stock and an extended barrel which might imply upgrades like in the Alterna Campaign. She also has another device in the other hand which might be a fizzy bomb or a new sub altogether. There's a multicolored device chained to her waist but the use of this item is unknown. There are also a lot of elevator themes which may be how 8 will travel between levels and the hub in the main plaza.

These shots of 8 I believe are taken in the same place, this large room with weird black pillars, bleached walls and floors with red veins spreading like ivy. Agent 8 may still be recovering from the events of Octo Expansion as we know from the mem cakes she experienced great loss of her previous life before the metro station which may come back to haunt her.

This shot suggests this as this may be a flashback to when she was still an octoling in the octarian army surrounded by her peers before losing them in the metro.

This shot is very interesting as it shows the visage of an inkling (noted by their pointed ears). This could by Captain 3 since Agent 8 had ties with them in Octo Expansion. However it could also be Agent 4 since canonically 8 and 4 are roommates and an appearance of the captain would be slim given how they are currently in Splatsville at this point in time.

This image seems very important as it was mostly shrouded in darkness in the trailer, however when brightened it gave me no clues on what this figure is. A device of sort that may be the cause of the bleaching in the Plaza or some entity that may be important.

Lastly we know that Pearl and Marina will be tied to this story. The two shots here show them in their outfits they had in their most recent collab with Damp Socks. What is to note is that Pearl has her shades down and her eyes not showing, may be implicating that it may be some form of hypnoshades. Marina is showing to be glitching out as if were seeing her through a messed up monitor. Hopefully this campaign will go more into their relationship and the events that happened after the Final Fest in Splatoon 2.

My personal predictions/theories

With the themes of coral bleaching and ties to Octo Expansion and the Order side of the Final Fest. I think we are revisiting some form of sanitized ink concept.

With the Kamabo Corporation in shambles in the epilogue and the Tartar's creations being salvaged, there could be some entity that might have got their hands on some sanitized ink and done experiments on it like Grizz did with the color crystals, refining it and altering it to suit their needs.

Pearl and Marina's involvement with the events of Octo Expansion would connect them to this story (also y'know the Plaza itself has heavy ties to Off the Hook overall).

I'm hoping. HOPING that we see more 4 content and that the inkling was indeed 4 because there isn't nearly enough representation than with 8 or Captain.

In the mem cakes in Octo Expansion, we know that 8 also had a friend and I'm hoping that picture of the other octolings is a sign that we'll be going in-depth with this aspect of 8.

Drag Race stars rally to support Tia Kofi after hateful abuse

Drag Race stars rally to support Tia Kofi after hateful abuse

Tia Kofi’s drag sisters have rallied to support the Drag Race UK vs the World winner after she copped vile abuse following the finale.

UK queen Tia won RuPaul’s Drag Race UK vs The World season two over the weekend.

The finale was a real nail-biter, with Tia and Aussie Hannah Conda ending up in the final lip sync together.

The pair earlier beat La Grande Dame and Marina Summers in the series of lip sync eliminations.

But online in the Drag Race fandom, things took a dark turn after the result was announced.

The usual “my pick was robbed” discourse escalated into some very nasty – and racist – abuse against Tia.

Tia herself responded to one post on Twitter X that was so disgusting the account holder was suspended for it.

“Let’s not. For real though, let’s absolutely not do this. At all. Ever again,” Tia wrote.

“Drag is meant to fun, enjoyable and entertaining. Do not behave like this.”

RuPaul’s Drag Race queens call out the hate

Finalist Marina Summers, from the Philippines, also rallied her fans to support Tia.

“I am so proud of each of my sisters for putting out an amazing season for everyone to enjoy,” Marina wrote on X.

“I would appreciate if everyone show the same amount of love and respect I have for these amazing queens.

“@TiaKofi is an amazing person with the kindest heart who doesn’t deserve any form of hate. And that goes to ALL of my UKVTW 2 Sisters.

“This should be a time to celebrate. This is drag. We should ENJOY it!”

Season two sisters Scarlet Envy, Arantxa Congenial-La Mancha and Choriza May also hit out at the “disgraceful” comments in fiery posts.

Hello loves! It’s been a wild 24 or so hours since the Finale of @dragraceukbbc I am so proud of each of my sisters for putting out an amazing season for everyone to enjoy. And I would appreciate if everyone show the same amount of love and respect I have for these amazing queens… pic.twitter.com/LNi6Bjnu7I

I don’t care if ur a fan. If I see one nasty disgusting racist comment you will be dealt with, baby. 🫶 this Miss Congeniality comes with extra trans violence and will defend her friends no matter what.

If u are sharing hate because of last night’s result, u have no space in the world of love & fun we’ve created through Drag. Some comments we’ve seen are DISGRACEFUL, u should be ashamed. Have a favourite & send them ❤️ without bringing other’s spirit down. Karma will get u.

Tia Kofi reacts to Drag Race win

After the Drag Race UK vs the World win, Tia said, “It means the world to me to win, it’s the perfect culmination of years of dedicating myself to drag and working hard at myself inside and outside.

“The one thing that watching the show taught me about myself was that even in hard times, I can still put a brave face on it.

“Aside from that, I feel like being the first winner of colour in the UK is game-changing. To give people who look like me that representation, it’s really special, and something that I take extremely seriously.

“I want to be that beacon that shows we can all, no matter where we come from or what we look like, achieve our dreams.”
