previous chapter

"what the fuck did we just do?" Nadia blurted out as she held the small but extremely expensive red bag in her shaking hand, her other hand over her mouth as she stared at it.

The man in question closed the car door to the backseats, making sure the two other shopping bags were secure. Climbing into the car, he looked at the frightened woman and desperately tried to hide his smile as she took small breaths. Eventually calming down with him typing on his phone, she reached into the deep red bag that read 'Cartier' and carefully took out the delicately wrapped boxes that held their respective wedding rings.

Walking into the luxurious store was a mission in itself as the newly married 'couple' had to pretend for the first time. With Lewis assuring her that it was usually empty during that specific time of day, Nadia tried to keep her cool together by entering the store she would only window shop from. Immediately when entering the private entrance, she could already feel the difference in the atmosphere, the quiet music through the hallways became a bit too overwhelming for her. What Nadia couldn't do was to understand what life she would be living from here on out, each step dragging the next as she watched the Harrods' security guards stand firm in their positions, guarding the gold elevator. Keeping within close proximity of each other, their arms would brush against each others from time to time and everytime she would glance at Lewis, he looked so unphased it was scary. It looked like he's been doing this for years.

As the two turned the corner and the jewellery store came into view, Nadia looked around at the other stores forming what seemed like a cul de sac within the store. The red and gold exterior of Cartier caught her eye and she and the man she was with gathered the workers and the customers attention. Giving a subtle nod and smile to both security guards standing on guard at the entrance, they opened the large Oakwood doors and a strong scent captivated her.

"Could I hold your hand?" Lewis asked quietly, holding his hand out for the younger woman to surprisingly grab onto in lightning speed. "My hands are really sweaty right now, I'm sorry." Nadia stressed. With their fingers intertwined and Lewis' cold rings managing to cool down her hand, he led into the shop where a sales associate was waiting patiently, gasping when she saw Lewis without his sunglasses and a woman standing next to him. Displaying a selling smile, the sales associate fixed her blazer and signaled to the security guards to close the doors.

"Mr Hamilton, what a pleasure to have you join us this afternoon. Greetings to the both of you. My name is Kim and I will be helping you today." Kim had said with a professional voice, leading them to her work desk near a counter showcasing diamonds and emeralds. "What brings you in today?" She asked, sitting on her desk chair and clearly directing the question towards Lewis. Before saying his words, Lewis knew that nothing he could say would be out these doors as the employees sign NDAs almost every week.

"Well, my wife couldn't find her ring at all for the past two weeks and rather decided to get a new one." He explained as he pulled out the chair for Nadia to sit before he did. The pure shock on the sales associate's face was borderline comedic, her jaw nearly dropping to the floor. "O-oh! Well, we definitely have a lovely range of wedding rings that would be suitable for the both of you, seeing as you guys are such a beautiful couple." Kim said with a shaky laugh, reaching to give them a look book for their purchase.

"I'll give you guys a couple of minutes to decide." And with that, the ever so young sales associate stood up from her assigned desk and left Nadia and Lewis to make their decision. Releasing a sigh she had kept in her from the moment they walked through the door, she looked at Lewis who just picked up the catalog and flipped through the pages.

"How are you so calm right now? My hands can't stop sweating, what the fuck." Nadia whisper-yelled, trying not to wipe her hands on anything near her whilst breathing through her nose. "I'm just used to this but it would've been nice if she wasn't so nervous." He shrugged his shoulders, leaning comfortably into the seat and his eyes scanning into the catalog. "Do you want to leave? Because we can. I really don't want you to be uncomfortable." Lewis suggested, placing his hand on her shoulder, somehow making her face him. Studying his face, she looked into his eyes as the sincerity poured out. He was worried, the fear literally showing through her but as she shifted her eyes to Kim who looked like she was coming over, a switch flipped in her.

Quickly grabbing the open catalog from the table, Nadia scanned the pages and landed on a ring that screamed at her with its luxury and simplicity. "Oh this is just stunning." She grinned, pointing at the picture of the ring. To say Lewis was surprised was an understatement but he could see what she was doing and it was smart. "It really is. Is this the one you want?" He asked, leaning close to her and noticed she didn't even move. Oh, she was really selling this.

"It's perfect." Nadia smiled so much so that her eyes closed.

"Wait so what do I say? Like happy 2 years or something?" Nadia asked, turning her body in the car seat to face Lewis. The two hadn't even put the rings on yet but they already were planning what to post on instagram.

"No clue. Did you choose what to post? Tia is bugging me about that." He said, sighing out for the umpteenth time that afternoon. Snapping her eyes at the man, he caught the look she sent him then clarified that she was his main pr manager. "I think I'll go with the flow when I choose the pictures." Awkwardly enough, Lewis and Nadia exchanged phone numbers and had to share a few photos with each other to have something to post for the world.

"You know, your dad mentioned that we should tell our friends before we tell the world." She said, slumping her head back into the surprisingly soft headrest. "Yeah. Uh my friends are in town so we could probably do something with them and announce it there." Lewis said, scratching at his hair out of nerves. He never was someone who got nervous often but this entire situation kept playing on his mind.

"Alright then. Home time?" He suggested, watching her nod before he even finished his sentence. He soon drove off with her address already on the car display, watching her as she admired the streets of London. They both knew this was going to be a long journey but it was worth helping each other out as their friendship began to bloom.

"Lewis?"

"Yeah?"

"What do you actually do for work? I feel like we've been talking about my job so much that I haven't taken the chance to know what you do. Y'know, besides shopping at Cartier so much that the workers recognise you." She asked, facing the car window and looking out as they passed through Central London. "Well um, I work in Formula One and it's been my..thing for the past 30 years." He revealed as he stopped at the red light, people from outside most definitely couldn't see inside the car even they tried.

"30? Oh my god, they had you working at 2?!" For this, Nadia sat up and looked at Lewis in astonishment, making him burst out laughing. "How old do you think I am?" He could barely get the question before giggling once again. "I thought you were at least 32. How are you older than 32?" Fully facing him now, Nadia couldn't believe what she was hearing because in her eyes, his features were very youthful (similar to hers but she didn't want to brag). "I'm 38, January 7th." Lewis said, giving her a closed smile.

Racking everything that she just learned about him, it all came back to her. Most Fridays when her students (whoever had History that time) would request to watch anything F1 related whilst she focused on something else or when the name 'Hamilton' was constantly thrown around between the last few minutes of classes almost every week. Even the 4 years she's been teaching at the same school, they would make a big deal every July before schools closed for the race in Silverstone and constantly cheer on the same British driver, Hamilton. Her new last name.

"Are you good? you went quiet on me for a second." Lewis glanced at Nadia as she had a slight pout on her face as she looked straight ahead, clearly her concentration face. "Just realised that most of my students adore you, borderline obsessed with you." She muttered but he heard her loud and clear. "And I don't know shit about you except that you drive super fast cars on weekends." She began clicking her nails as a way to distract her from her busy mind. "Okay, how about we go on a fake date after we tell the world about our marriage to get to know one another so we can understand our new lives now. Is that okay with you?" Lewis suggested and truly, Nadia's heart swelled a little.

"Can I dress up or will I be judged for that?"

"Anything you want."

The next day.

"Wait. I'm confused. Your PR lady wants to have a meeting with me when? After we launch? Because I'm gonna be really busy with my students tomorrow." Nadia was extremely stressed and rightfully so. After everything happened yesterday, it was time to worry about the logistics of this 'relationship.'

"Tia said she's around London now so maybe you two could meet at a café somewhere in case you're not uncomfortable with her being at your place but she preferred to do it before everything gets crazy." Lewis spoke over the phone. Nadia kept quiet for a few moments as she skimmed over a few facts about Lewis on her laptop. "Wait, you were knighted?" She asked, seeing the photo of Lewis with the badge she recognise as the one that knights usually get. "Are you looking me up right now?" The laugh threatened to come out as he slowed down on the treadmill. "What? I wouldn't." Nadia closed the laptop with speed as if he could see what she was doing.

"Uh huh... anyways, should I forward her number to you or should I make the call?" Lewis pretended as if the biggest smile didn't paint his face at that very moment. "Just send it to me and I'll probs invite her over. We'll talk later then." The two said their goodbyes and went back to whatever it was they were doing.

Placing her phone down next to her on the couch, she sat in silence as it all dawned on her. The man she is legally married to is one of the world's most famous athletes with millions and millions of supporters. Spending almost the whole morning researching anything she needed to know, her chest wanted to close in as she looked at everything from stats from his long ass F1 career to his businesses and social life and they didn't call him the busiest driver for nothing. Lewis never seemed like the type of person to relax and chill from the number of things he does in a day. From Fashion weeks to visiting labs for one of his many projects, it was going to be tough to adjust to his lifestyle whilst still being a full time high school teacher but she was willing to do so, to help a friend.

"Again, I'm so sorry for this sudden ambush on you. You're so lovely." Tia apologised once again, making Nadia hold her hand as she shook her head.

The dandelions that Tia brought over were sitting pretty in an empty vase on the living room table, making the room smell so fresh. Tia was definitely a few years younger than Nadia, shown by her enthusiastic energy as soon as she stepped into the apartment.

"So to just get to the gist of it all, you're entering the world of fame without knowing what exactly goes into it. You're gonna need a team, security intel, a refurbished social media look, probably a new bank account and a new address." Tia said, pulling out a notebook from her tote bag. "For now, I'll be your pr manager along with Lewis'. Please just know that this fake marriage idea was a collective decision by the rest of our team because of the scandals that have just been coming our way. I hope I'm not scaring you?"

"Girl, I'm scared as shit right now. What do you mean new address?" Nadia vocalised as her right leg bounced repeatedly. "So in order to make this believable, you'll have to move in with him and we've proposed that you say that you've been secretly married for 2 years. I know that you're going to meet with his friends soon and y'know that date? It has to be tonight because I know you have work tomorrow." Tia flipped her silk press over her shoulder as she placed her hands on the now closed notebook.

Nadia's jaw wanted to drop to the floor but she tried to seem calm as her eyes darted anywhere from Tia.

"So you and I can get ready for this date like we can go shopping, hair and nails then in the evening, he picks you up. How does that sound?" Tia smiled, already packing up her bag.

"Uh-"

"Perfect! Let's go."

"Breathe in and out, Nads. In and out." She quietly told herself as she paced up and down her room, the uncomfortable ysl heels clacked against the floor. Constantly checking if the little black dress wasn’t showing anything that didn’t need to shown.

The Cartier box sat perfectly on her dresser, staring at her and waiting to be opened. Eventually gaining the courage to open it, she gently picked up the ring and slid it onto her ring finger, feeling its weight slightly. Lifting her hand to the lamp, she watched as the diamond glistened, matching the charms and rhinestones on her fresh nails.

Even music couldn’t help her calm down as she anxiously waited for Lewis to say that he’s outside, palms becoming clammy at the thought of going on a ‘date’ with someone as famous as Lewis. The research she did on him was one similar to someone entering a fandom as she tried to remember basic information about her husband.

Walking over to her full length mirror, she scanned over her outfit once more and did quick breathing exercises to calm her down. She did a quick smile and walked out of her room, not forgetting her trusty fluffy slides in case she got tired of her heels.

Whilst taking a few pictures, the knock on her door startled her. Rushing to open up, she carried her new purse and touched her hair a little bit as she reached for the door handle.

The smell of roses mixed with the scent of Lewis’ cologne greeted first as the big bouquet of flowers blocked his face.

“Oh wow…” Nadia muttered as she reached to take the sunset orange roses out of his tattooed arms. Securely holding the bouquet, she looked up to observe the man and his look nearly took her breath away. The soft pastel colours of his sweater vest were matching quite well with the lilac slacks he had on, going casual with the air force ones and not to mention the jewellery that somehow emphasised the cozy yet fashionable style he was going for. It genuinely looked like he was going on a date and so did Nadia. His braids were tied back into a low ponytail and his diamond earrings sparkled quite nicely, the wedding ring he bought himself making an appearance as he lifted his hand to scratch his neck a little.

“Well good evening, Mrs.” Lewis greeted with the slyest smile on his face once he realised that Nadia was indeed checking him out. “Don’t give me that smile, Mr.” She rolled her eyes before turning around and placing the flowers in the kitchen. Seeing as she had everything she needed on her, she walked right back to the front door where he was patiently waiting for her. “Let me hold these for you.” He offered, opening his large hands to take her purse and slippers.

“You sure?”

“We’ve got quite a few flights of stairs to get through. Also, where are your neighbours? It seems like such a quiet building.” Lewis asked, curious as he looked at the closed doors they passed in the hallways towards the stairs.

“It’s mainly small families or students who just always mind their business and close themselves in by this time. It only really get noisy during sports weekends and spontaneous fights.” Nadia said, telling him a bit more about her odd neighbours as they eventually reached the same G wagon she saw yesterday.

He could listen to her talk about literally anything for hours, he told himself as he opened the car door for her, placing her stuff next to her. “Just so you know, there’s going to be some media where we’re headed, thanks to Tia so we just walk quickly whilst waving a little then we enter. Is that okay?” He asked, leaning against the open car door and his right arm caged her in a little. As much as she was distracted by how he was looking at her whilst standing like that, she nodded, somehow losing the voice that was there literally there a few minutes before.

“I have to compete with Nicki Minaj?!” She whisper-yelled as she leaned closer to him in the private booth that faced the rest of the restaurant. Already, the two had caused quite a stir as soon as they exited the car with the paparazzi rapidly throwing questions at each of them, barely giving them a chance to smile and wave as they planned. The security (both Lewis’ and the restaurants) helped them in and to the customers surprise, they entered in with confidence. Them holding hands really sold for everyone, the two waving to fans using their left hands before being escorted to the private booth.

“Well no you don’t have to anymore. It was just a…thing a few years ago.” Lewis said, taking a sip of his drink before leaning back against his chair. “But still! Like your fans literally know you with well known women so what are they even going to do with me?” Rightfully so, Nadia was stressed. This was a big commitment and already she was regretting it.

“I have a feeling that they will love you. As long as you aren’t a complete weirdo then they’ll most likely accept you. Well that’s what someone on Twitter said after hearing about a supposed fling I had with someone.” He assured. He seemed so calm about this and it freaked her out.

“Supposed?”

“Yup. Plus I’m now married to you so everything will swept up under a rug, y’know? Remove any bullshit rumours going on.” He said, sipping his drink once again.

“Again, how are you so calm about this, bruv? Feel like i’m sweating bullets here.” She breathed out, slightly fanning herself even though there was air conditioning in their booth.

“Is that who I am now? Bruv?” He asked, giggling as he looked at her amusingly.

“That is definitely your contact name. Oh! You have to meet my kids, that’s where I get it from.” Nadia spoke, taking a fry from her plate, the food the waiter brought over a while ago.

“Year 8?”

“Nope. Only Year 11 and 12. It was part of the ‘promotion’ but I only studied further to teach Year 8 so right now I’m winging it with my kids and it seems to be going pretty good. They’re excelling.” Nadia chatted, proudly talking about her students.

“You were meant to be a teacher, I swear. The glint in your eyes was so adorable when you spoke about them.” Lewis smiled, also eating his meal.

“Okay, don’t make me blush old man.” She scoffed with a little chuckle making Lewis laugh fully.

“Anyways, where am I gonna live? Tia was very adamant about me moving out to make it look super real.” Nadia changed the subject so quickly, as if it was lightning.

“My main residence is in Monaco but because of what I do, I tend to travel for two months at a time so I’ve got a few houses in another countries. So you can choose where you want to live really. Personally though, I can tell you love your job so this will be a bit tough for you but I get where she’s coming from.” Lewis informed, eating his pesto as if he didn’t just shake up her life a little.

“Oh. I’m gonna have to speak to my higher ups about this. Obvie, I won’t tell them the whole thing but can you give me a week to figure it out? Because it’s also salary that’s no longer gonna be there once I start travelling with you.” Nadia brought up, pinching her leg as thoughts raced through her mind.

“Sure, take as much time as you need because I get that this is a lot. I have a house near Wembley, that’s where I’ve been staying since I arrived so that’s my proposal to you.” He informed, watching her slowly eat her food.

“Well, there wasn’t a proposal to begin with, pookie bear.” Nadia joked, biting down on the fork as she giggled.

“That nickname, Nads.” Lewis giggled at her joke, knowing that she was going to be a joy to be around.

il predestinato - Charles Leclerc x Reader

hihi !! so i was aiming for this to be totally fluffy, but there’s a lil angst, mostly around how this season is going for Charles and Ferrari. I really like this tbh, and although i wrote it pretty quickly, i think it’s cute! tysm for the request my lovely,, hope you like it!! requests are still open

warnings- lil sad cos of Ferrari and how they treat Charles,, mostly fluffy

w/c- 1489

——

Charles Leclerc was struggling this season. You couldn’t deny it, no matter how much you wished it wasn’t true.

Ferrari disasterclass after Ferrari disasterclass were starting to weigh heavily on his mind. No matter how many positive interviews after less positive results he gave, how many toothy grins he shot your way after another day in the factory or on the sim, you could see how all of this was beginning to weigh on your boy.

You knew he deserved more, every F1 fan knew he deserved more. You’d seen messages between him and Pierre, him and Max, hell even a few with Sebastian that showed that they knew he deserved more. You’d watched quietly as his brothers rallied around him, despite Arthur taking off in F2 and Lorenzo always having to dash off for meetings, his career being more demanding than people realised. You’d watched as Charles’ dreams crumbled under the pressure of the team, under the tyres of his once-beloved red car.

He was meant to be ‘il predestinato’. The Predestined. One of the greats waiting to happen. He was meant to be fighting for that title, wheel to wheel with the Red Bull, the Mercedes, and, surprisingly, the Aston Martin. He was a front of the grid, top step of the podium driver, stuck with the team who had promised him the world, and left him to piece together the shards of the glory they had promised.

You felt powerless in this all. A girl with a degree earned in student loans and scholarships, and no career to back it up, in a fast-paced world of the rich and important. Finding a place in Charles’ life had been difficult as it was, but you would do it all again to support him. Put your dreams of a Masters degree, and a doctorate, on hold. Sell your meagre little studio flat for the life so many dream of in Monaco. Leave family and friends behind for a world that would never quite be yours, no matter how many brands suddenly wanted to dress you for paddock appearances, no matter how much diamond jewellery Charles draped around your throat. What could a normal girl do to support someone like Charles, in a situation as delicate and important as this.

Whatever you could. Anything you could. You celebrated his wins, commiserated and comforted after losses. Spent weekend after weekend in crowded garages, night after night holding him as his shoulders shook under the weight of everyone’s expectations, as tears ran in rivulets down his cheeks.

Today was going to be a hard day for Charles. You had seen it in his eyes when he had left your shared apartment that morning. Another meeting with the Ferrari high-ups, another meeting where they blamed everything but themselves for the poor results ahead of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix this coming weekend. As soon as the lock clicked into place behind him, you decided you needed to do something today that could hopefully lift his mood.

After spending most of the morning cleaning your home, washing his training gear and polishing the monitors on his sim, dusting trophies in the cabinets lining his office walls, a trip to the market began. The ingredients for Charles’ favourite food in your basket, you decided to stop and get a few more treats for him that would certainly anger his trainer. A bottle of his favourite expensive wine, pastries from the little stall he took you to the day you met, the chocolate his mum bought him after good results in kart races as a child.

Hours later, after what felt like much longer leant over the stovetop in your kitchen, the rich smell of the sauce you were stirring filled the room, the soft sounds of Elvis crooning though the speaker settled safely on the windowsill. Charles wasn’t meant to be home until seven thirty, and it was currently just past five. Enough time to finish the sauce, lay out the good plates and light a few candles. Maybe change into something other than the pyjamas you had put on when you got back from the market. ‘Pyjamas’ being a pair of Charles’ boxers fresh out of the dryer and your faded university jumper.

Tapping on your phone to increase the volume, you began to gently sway your hips to the intro to Suspicious Minds. So wrapped up in the music, you didn’t hear the front door click, or the bag hit the floor in the entryway. The footsteps making their way into the kitchen didn’t register, not until you felt an arm snake around your waist, palm pressed into the skin of your stomach and the waistline of the stolen underwear.

You didn’t even flinch at the sensation on your skin, it was so familiar and comforting. Leaning back into his touch, you smiled lazily as your eyes met.

“Hello, mon coeur.” He murmured, pressing his lips against your hair.

Twisting in his arms, you let him fully wrap you in his embrace, feeling the tension melt away from the muscles in his back. It had been as bad a day as you’d expected, you could see the slight glisten in his eyes, the furrow in his brow.

“Oh my darling,” you began “I take it the meeting didn’t go well?” You already knew the answer, but the tightening of his arms around your waist as he buried his face against your hair told you enough.

You could feel his lips move against your scalp after a few moments, the words he wanted to say struggling to come out. He sighed, stepping back slightly, shifting his arms to press his hands onto your hips. “They’re blaming me. Saying I’m not working hard enough, not trying hard enough to adapt to the car. I’m going against all their plans, against how they’ve set everything out for me. As if it isn’t their bad strategy that’s fucking me over every race.”

You suddenly felt insecure that your days-worth of work wasn’t going to help, or would even worsen his mood, that it was going against the plan designed by his team and his PT that was so clearly set out to help him be his best.

“I-I wasn’t sure how you would be feeling, so I’ve tried to cook your favourite. But if you don’t want it, the pre-planned meal ingredients from your trainer are in the fridge. I can make that, o-or I got some pastries from that stall, the one from our first date? And some chocolate, the one your mum used to get.” You smoothed a thumb over the crease between his brows, “We can do whatever you want.”

His hands dropped from your sides, and his chin drooped towards his chest, and you began to panic more. “O-or I can call Pierre, or your brothers, and you can have a boys night, I’ll get out of your way. Whatever you need me to do.”

His head is still down, and you’re so worried that you’ve made everything worse. But you weren’t expecting the look that you were met with when he raised his head. His eyes were shining more now, the glistening from earlier now lining his lashes with unshed tears. You weren’t expecting the sheer love that was emanating from his expression, his entire being.

The smile he gave you could move planets, reignite the stars. Any insecurity and anxiety settled in your chest disappeared, replaced with a deep-rooted warmth.

“Oh, my darling girl,” he sighed, “What good did I do in a past life to deserve you?”

His arms snaked around your waist again, pulling you tight against him. He began softly swaying to the music still playing.

“Sometimes, I think the universe made you for me. No one has ever done something so simple, yet so perfect. I think we were designed for each other mon coeur. Destiny did something right for once.” His voice was barely above a whisper.

“You know, I used to think the nickname il predestinato was a curse. A label placed on me for such an unattainable dream. A ridiculous notion, and unexpected pressure. But I believe that I was your predestined. And you’re mine. And as long as I have you, all of those dreams are within reach again.”

The food was long forgotten, simmering away to itself, and the candles on the table would remain unlit, for tonight at least. Right now, nothing would feel better than dancing with the love of your life to the songs your parents loved too.

And as the opening notes to Can’t Help Falling in Love With You began, and Charles reached around you to turn off the stove, twirling you to the song as he softly sang the words, you couldn’t help but agree with his sentiment.

This love was written in the stars. Predestined. And maybe, that was all you two would ever need.

I'm the anon who asked about Asgard & Vanaheim visuals, and I love the answer! I also want visuals about...Jotunheim, Alfheim, Svartalfheim/Nidavellir!

on it, boss 🫡👍

JOTUNHEIM

ok. Jotunheim is home to the jotuns (giants). we know a couple of famous jotuns: Gerdr (Freyr's wife), Þjazi (who attempts to get Idunn out of Asgard and make the gods start to age), and Skadi (Þjazi's daughter, Njord's wife).

from these, i feel the need to mention Gerdr and Skadi particularly, and they give us some clues about the kind of environment that Jotunheim is.

Gerdr is spotted looking lovely in her father's fields by Freyr. so, i imagine her in the sunlight, on a grassy knoll-- it's a nice, warm, sunshine-y day.

Skadi, on the other hand, is depicted as a kind of ice-warrior queen as she and Njord often argue about the weather- Njord being more of a beach boy himself and Skadi preferring colder weather.

so, what i think is this: Jotunheim experiences a harsh, icy winter, but a lovely, mild summer. it's never terribly hot. it's just like... autumn weather at the max.

i also think that it is particularly icy at the borders of Jotunheim, but as you go inwards, the ice sort-of recedes, and there's just a little bit of snow here and there, but there's plenty of grass as well.

i think the weather also reflects the type of giant-- the borders are home to the more vicious of the Jotuns, more peaceful Jotuns are inwards.

so like. at the borders, i think you get scenery more like this:

but more inwards, you get something like with a bit more snow:

Jotunheim feels like a very mountainous place. very rocky.

fashion is more like tunics inwards, but at the borders, it's furs and armor, and leather.

there isn't really anything like fancy jewellery... it's stone, and bones, and teeth, etc. it's all very makeshift. i don't see the Jotuns as a people caring too much for very shiny things like gems and diamonds and gold. they care for that stuff in as much as they can sell it to buy more valuable things like land and armor and weapons.

colour palette is something like this with a bit more blue perhaps.

ALFHEIM

since Alfheim is the home of the light elves, i think it ought to have a lot of water and glass and crystals to reflect off light such that the world is always bright and illuminated.

but where i wrote that Vanaheim was very "jewel-centric" and had a lot of gold and silver in-laid, i like the idea of Alfheim being a more "natural" Alfheim. so there's lots of white wood and natural spaces.

i think the Elves must live amongst the trees where light from both the Sun and the Moon stills seeps through the forest and illuminates it.

there would be a lot of structures like these, where the pillars are simply trunks of trees:

i think above ground, there are a lot of rivers like the image on the left, and lots of healthy, overgrown foliage. but beneath the ground, illumination might come from crystals like the image on the right:

the image on the left still is pretty dark, so try to imagine that with like. lighter colours.

as you can see, there isn't much diamonds and jewels, or even too much gold. it's mostly just natural.

the colour palette would be something like:

weather in Alfheim is cool, i think. it doesn't snow there, but it's not impossibly hot. it's just cool. you don't need furs, just long tunics.

also, search up "fantasy moon kingdom" for more ideas on Alfheim palaces :)

SVARTALFHEIM / NIDAVELLIR

home of the dark elves (aka dwarves).

okay, so i think realm is a mix of stone and forestry.

there would be a lot of mines since the dwarves are builders and i think they would need to be mining for their materials.

these mines would be dark, but there would be a few crystals and fires to light up the place here and there:

there might also be a village within the mine:

but there are dark elves who do live above the surface. and i think on top of the surface, there is a lot of forestry and maybe even some swamps:

i hate to be unoriginal, but honestly the way they did the Dwarven kingdom in the Hobbit was pretty freaking perfect to me-- i love the rock statues coming out of the mountain-face:

so yeah, lots of stone, and rock. but i also think a lot of metal, and a fair few gems and precious stones also!!

colour palette is obviously very green and brown:

weather i think can be very humid. it doesn't snow. but in the caves, it is very very cold. so i think there are a lot of cloaks for those underground, but also thinner tunics for those working above ground.

#oughh this wasn't as good as Asgard and Vanaheim but i hope you like :)#anon #anonymous #asks #hc

Not an original idea in her head. by u/IconicAnimatronic

Not an original idea in her head. Food, wine, linens and home decor, yoga, dog biscuits, skin care, jewellery... where have we heard it all before?We all know ARO, (or Another Royal Opportunity as I like to call it), has been reported as a GOOP knockoff. But there are some other surprising celebrity brands out there, already doing the same as most of its offerings. Please add to the list with the multitude of things I'll miss. Links unarchived since they don't drive traffic to MM.Apart from her wellness and fitness brand COSMOSS, which sells skincare and yoga goods, Kate Moss also sold jam! In fact much of COSMOSS seems similar to the ARO goal (they met at the 2018 Fashion Awards). https://ift.tt/YkxmHcX Middleton and his brand of dog biscuits. Why not copy your Sister-in-Law's family? They're successful after all! https://ella.co/The Shand-Kydd family have a wallpaper company. Diana's mother was a Shand-Kydd. If it's good enough for your Mother-in-Law... https://ift.tt/0Dvt749 & Alcohol. There are plenty of celebrities (over 100 - enough to have a standalone Wiki page) producing their own tipple. From George Clooney, to Cameron Diaz. A-List celebrities. Brad Pitt even has a very successful rosé. https://ift.tt/IctiqXy course GOOP has its own G Label jewellery line but celebs like Rihanna, Kim Kardashian and Jessica Simpson have also launched their very own bling ranges. On top of that BFF Serena Williams Jewelry was launched in 2019. The jewellery pieces use ethically sourced and conflict-free diamonds. You know. The acceptable type of diamond to wear. https://ift.tt/e8oy71I of Serena, she also offers a bodycare range. https://ift.tt/TCyg3Hd and aprons? Just check out Draper James by Reese Witherspoon. Chirpy statements on tumblers such as "Cheers Y'all", and "What Would Dolly Do?" could be replaced by "Riiiiiiight", or "Authentic-Self". https://ift.tt/rdIVuGx course, all these things can be promoted by a cooking and lifestyle show. Plenty of other A-Z Listers have jumped on that food truck bandwagon. Even Jussie Smollett. https://ift.tt/OFir5K9 word of warning though. Celebrity brands selling "overpriced artisanal products" dont always work out. Just ask Blake Lively!https://ift.tt/qnuDxpy post link: https://ift.tt/DIwYjEd author: IconicAnimatronic submitted: July 31, 2024 at 06:03AM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit disclaimer: all views + opinions expressed by the author of this post, as well as any comments and reblogs, are solely the author's own; they do not necessarily reflect the views of the administrator of this Tumblr blog.

✧･ﾟ @halovien sent: hmmmmm maybe a hc about aven and his relation to jewelry and / or his physical appearance :3? / send me questions you have for/about my character! always accepting.

he wears primarily gold jewellery, typically choosing clothes with accents that compliment that ( the collar and spade lining on his shirt, buttons, so on. ) and less often, but still on occasion, silver. he won't wear jade, and both as a cheaper alternative and a likely interpreted 'boast' of his title, he is not inclined towards buying aventurine either. when he does wear stones they tend to be pieces that stand out against his typical colour palette: the bracelet he wears as well as the stones on his ring and earring are all sapphire, representing intelligence, although he also has green sapphires and wears diamonds often too.

he does have his sisters necklace, but out of respect, he only keeps it safe and doesn't wear it. it's usually not stored anywhere he can see it without intentionally deciding he wants to. it's the only piece of jewellery he has from home, and while he would certainly be interested in acquiring some avgin pieces, the ipc's involvement on sigonia makes him unwilling to invest in doing so. his brand is something that i haven't spoken about ( outside of our dm's layla dfkjghd ) but! while he doesn't sell them, he has had a thing or two fashioned in honour of traditional avgin styles. it's a personal collection and kept fairly subtle. taking inspiration from sigonia, the unclaimed desolation's planar rope ornament, i'd say that the main colours he leans into as well as the use of blue accents and peacock-esque eye and feather shapes / patterns are some of the sigonian influences he incorporates in his personal style. his earring and the little feather detailing on his hat being examples of things that are custom made, although many ( if not most ) of his clothes and jewellery are one of a kind.

he spends a good deal of his fortune on interesting pieces of jewellery and things that catch his eye, both out of genuine interest and a flashy display of wealth where it's needed. his jewellery is a show of wealth and status to him. because 'aventurine' is his armour, meticulously created and woven together in every facet of who he presents himself as — with the sole purpose of maintaining a life where he can feel untouchable, as far as he can be. he's always dressed 'appropriately' for the setting, albeit propriety isn't based on what is generally acceptable but on how he wants to be perceived, and sometimes what he predicts people already expect of him. particularly in penacony, where he really wants to lean into the role of the ignorant ipc envoy who thinks he's walking into an easy job, he's aptly dressed for the part: he's flashy, he's entirely too much ( perhaps not going as far as to stick out terribly amongst the rich and elite who already make up a vast majority the dreamscape's guests, but certainly enough to feed further into the first impression he knows the family will have of him ) however. note that in the final victor lightcone, which we can presume took place long before arriving in penacony: he is without the collar situation or ( although ig it's hard to say for sure ) seemingly his rings. just a plain, much more modest shirt with a tie. i think it's interesting especially that ratio is dressed more formally than he typically would be here, too.

so aven enjoys dressing extravagantly, yes, but he also knows when it will benefit him to tone it down and how to convey himself in the way that he wants to even before he opens his mouth to speak. because if he can set up the expectation of who he should be, then he can follow along, and it's so much easier to keep his distance from people when he has that control over their perception of him. he meets expectations, gives people what they want from him, and that gives him room to manipulate a situation, to be dangerously underestimated.

as for his physical appearance, aven knows that he's considered to be very conventionally attractive. he has been told so countless times and that hasn't always meant good things for him, so comments or compliments surrounding his appearance don't tend to resonate with him. he knows, he just doesn't really care to hear about it. i talk about the insecurities that he has, but the way he looks generally isn't one of them: while he sometimes hides his eyes behind glasses, he tends to do so in instances where he is either feeling vulnerable enough that he doesn't trust himself not to give anything away through his expression ( which is rare ) has business dealings with someone he knows will respond better if he does ( which he resents ) or more likely, is using his frequent movement and motion as a distraction from something else that is happening, abruptly calling someone's attention in various directions before they can quite grasp what he's talking them into. it's never out of shame or insecurity.

he spends a lot of time on his appearance: he uses expensive shampoos that keep his hair soft and he doesn't cut it himself, but he does stay on top of it. he gets somewhat regular exercise, never with the intention of toning up or building muscle, but rather to keep his mind occupied and physically tire himself out when he's going through periods of bad sleep. he has a luxury skincare routine and very occasionally wears a small amount of makeup. never anything more than a little bit of concealer in attempt not to appear so dull and tired. but these are things done for himself, because he enjoys taking care of himself and because it's important to him. he wants to look after himself because he can afford those luxuries. he needs to look put together, again, because that is part of the image that he presents of himself to others.

OC Interviews - Tag Game

Thank you for the tag, @tildeathiwillwrite.

Doing this with the main characters from my historical fiction novel, The Jack of Diamonds. So Philip Devlin, Anne Marlon, John Grey, and Ezio Dellucci.

Gently tagging @annakayy, @athenswrites, @simonnebethel, @alextheoccasionalwriter, @coffeewritesfiction, and an open tag to anyone wanting to jump in. As ever, no pressure and only if you want to.

Interviews under the cut:

"Are you named after anyone?"

Philip: Not that I am aware of. Philip is a relatively common name in my family though.

Anne: I believe my mother named me after Anne Neville, from the period of the Wars of the Roses.

John: No, I am not named after anyone. (Writer note: he is named after a Victorian Gypsy.)

Ezio: I am entirely unique! No one else has my name! (Writer note: he wasn't named after Ezio Auditore from Assassin's Creed, it is just a coincidence.)

"When was the last time you cried?"

Philip: If you must know it was in 1887, when I was fourteen. This is an impertinent question.

Anne: Last night... my elder brother and I had something of a row, but it has been resolved now.

John: I believe I may have shed a few tears when I had a metal shard removed from my arm in 1889.

Ezio: Two years ago, in Paris, of heartbreak. It was very romantic.

"Do you have kids?"

Philip: No, and I doubt I would be a good father if I did.

Anne: Not yet, but I should like to have some.

John: Yes, a daughter called Violet. She is ten years of age now.

Ezio: I have so many siblings, I do not wish for children.

"Do you use sarcasm a lot?"

Philip: Of course, it is invaluable when dealing with bores.

Anne: I try not to, it always seems a little rude.

John: What do you think? Of course I do!

Ezio: Who does not use sarcasm??

"What is the first thing you notice about people?"

Philip: Their eyes, and then what jewellery they are wearing.

Anne: What they are holding, and where their hands are generally.

John: Their clothes. You can tell a lot about a person's wealth from their clothes.

Ezio: Any unusual shapes in pockets.

"What is your eye colour?"

Philip: Ice blue.

Anne: Sky blue, with little yellow flecks.

John: Dark brown.

Ezio: As green as the sea around Venezia.

"Scary movies or happy endings?"

Philip: I prefer the suspense, as it keeps my mind entirely focused. Romance is easy to wander from.

Anne: Happy endings! Life is so complex, it is nice to see all come right in the end.

John: I suppose the scary option? Most novels incorporate a sense of dread and a happy ending...

Ezio: Like Caro Philip, I enjoy the thrill of suspense!

"Any special talents?"

Philip: I am rather talented at sleight of hand tricks, and an excellent swimmer.

Anne: I can play the piano well, and I write occasionally.

John: I am a con-artist, and I flatter myself a good batsman in cricket.

Ezio: I am acrobatic, an excellent fighter and I can act well.

"Where were you born?"

Philip: Venice. My parents were on the grand tour at the time.

Anne: Our family home in Bath. It is a really lovely place, but my brother was obliged to sell it.

John: My parents' house on Caster Lane, Isle of Dogs, London.

Ezio: Rio de la Pleta, Venezia! We have a lovely palazzo, with frescoes everywhere.

"Do you have any pets?"

Philip: No, my parents can't abide them.

Anne: I have a tabby house cat, called Shelley.

John: I did have a dog, but the blasted creature ran off.

Ezio: I dislike pets, but should like to own a horse for riding.

"What sort of sports do you play?"

Philip: I row very well.

Anne: I am rather sedentary, but I do play a little tennis and chess.

John: Cricket, darts, card and dice games.

Ezio: I enjoy hunting, rowing, swimming and chess.

"How tall are you?"

Philip: Six feet and two inches. Entirely respectable.

Anne: Slightly taller than most women, five feet and six inches.

John: five feet and ten inches. Devlin enjoys lording over me as regards his height.

Ezio: Why should I tell you? I am tall enough. (Writer note: he is five feet and four inches, and annoyed about it.)

"What was your favourite subject in school?"

Philip: My tutor greatly encouraged my love of the Classics and Ancient Greece.

Anne: When I was at boarding school, I rather enjoyed Literature. My tutor after that discouraged me from the subject.

John: I never went to school.

Ezio: I enjoyed my father teaching me how to fence!

"What is your dream job?"

Philip: If I were obliged to earn a living, perhaps an historian?

Anne: An occupation for a woman? Well... perhaps my brother would let me into Parliament.

John: A tailor, as it pays fairly well.

Ezio: I would not wish for any occupation other than the one I already have.

Happy writing! 🌿

Do you own a diamond accessory you never wear because it is not your thing? Or an uncounted diamond you inherited but never bothered to set? If so, consider removing them rather than letting them gather dust in a drawer for the next decade.

Thess vs QOL Improvements

I think I said previously how a lot of people in the Wylde Flowers subreddit (and, hell, nearly any game subreddit) tend to want a lot of things in their game. Generally, those things are complicated to code at best, and don’t really add to the gameplay experience that much. However, there are some things that I think could be added to the game with minimal potential coding snafus. Given Reddit striking (I mean, I think the subreddit is still active but a boycott feels like a thing), I guess I’ll lay those out here. I mean, there’s only a couple? But I feel like they’d be good ones.

More jewellery crafting. Look, the gemstones you can dig up in this game are as follows: amethyst, topaz, sapphire, ruby, emerald, and diamond ... and, y’know, you can find pearls as well. Thing is, the only gemstones you can use when crafting jewellery are amethyst and diamond, and those are just recolours of the same jewellery mesh. So all they’d really have to do is do a few more recolours and bam - more jewellery to make, to wear or sell as desired. Granted, largely it’d be a popular one for wearing - amethyst doesn’t go well with all outfits, and people might like jewellery specifically coloured to go with their favourite items of clothing.

Different ways to make dyes. Another element of this game is clothing, and if you want the full achievement for crafting everything in the game, you have to make them all. There are a lot of outfits, largely recolours, so this involves a lot of making and dyeing cloth. Thus, dyes. Red, yellow, and blue are made by grinding up a variety of items in those colours - like, for instance, lemons and sunflowers for yellow, poppies and red clay for red, blueberries and blue tulips for blue. Problem being, if you’re keeping a lot of beehives going, you want to keep as many of your flowers blooming as possible, so you’re not necessarily going to want to harvest them, you get nine blueberries every few days or so during a couple of in-game seasons, and lemons ... well, a lot of animals’ favourite foods are lemons, and you need lemons for tanning solution for making leather, so you want a lot of that. Sure, you can grind harvest boost potions, but as well as making those three primary colours, you have to mix them to get purple, orange, and green. But why only grind those? Crocuses in this game are purple, and marigolds are orange, and there are a lot of things in general that are green. Why, oh why can’t we have two options for making those three other colours - one mixing primary colours and the other grinding up things of the appropriate colour? It would be a definite quality of life improvement, and I don’t think it would take much in terms of coding.

Alternatives for coloured cloth. Following on from the above, by the time you hit endgame, you’re trying to raise rainbow sheep and alpacas for rainbow wool to make rainbow cloth. By that point in the proceedings, if you’re making enough rainbow cloth to stockpile, would it be particularly difficult to be able to choose whether you want to use the particular coloured cloth or a bolt of rainbow cloth? In-game logic would say “It’s magic; it could turn into whatever colour you want it to”. Out-of-game logic ... there’s already a function where you can choose via a kind of drop-down menu what type of a particular element you want to use for your crafting. Like, if you’re cooking, you can choose which of the various kinds of eggs you’re going to use (with chickens, ducks, and magical versions of both, there are a fair few options), or fish with some recipes (and also for leather; fish leather is apparently A Thing). That means that the structure for that kind of selection is already in the game, so it might not take too much to expand it. Plus it would keep the gameplay balance pretty even when it needs to be, since you don’t get rainbow anything until Year 2 or so, and by then you’re mostly grinding for leftover achievements anyway.

More reasons to use Cat Familiar mode. Look, we have crabs all over the beach, the occasional seagull, and mice in the barn. More to the point, we have code for the cat catching things already - picking up small plants, catching fish and crickets. Why can Cleocatra (that is the name the game gave her; do not look at me like that) not hunt the damn mice?!? That could be where we get the bones she’s always throwing at us when we pet her from! It’d be fun to go cat and hunt crabs the way we hunt crickets. (Incidentally, maybe have crickets somewhere that isn’t across town?!? I have to blow an in-game hour running around as cat to get to the one spot where I can catch crickets for fishing bait.)

SHEEP MEAT. Lamb, mutton, call it what you will, but when you sell a sheep to Kim and they come back with leftovers, you don’t get meat - you just get hide, bone, and animal fat. SHEEP ARE EDIBLE. I mean, I get it with alpacas, but they added duck and pork recipes with the April update, both as options in meat-based dishes and their own individual recipes; why can’t we have lamb?

So that’s basically it. Really not much. There are a few other ideas but they would probably mess with gameplay balance too much and be harder to code. That’s the main thing, I guess; when I ask for things in a game, I like them to be things that could actually be done sensibly, and without too much potential to break the game, either through potentially problematic code or just balance issues. I don’t want to mess too much with the game I am really enjoying; I just want there to be a bit more reward for getting to the point in game when you’re swimming in resources and need to spend them someplace. I’m hoping for a Year 3 patch at some point, but I don’t figure that’ll be for a little while. I mean, the new animals (ducks, pigs, and alpacas) only came in April, and the Endless Seasons thing (basically being able to play past the point where there’s actual plot) was only December last year. If they want to code Year 3 content, they’d need to figure out how to implement it anyone not starting a new run-through. But that might not be too hard, I guess - all they’d have to do is have the new content go “Start This Next Spring After Year 2 Content”, and done.

I go down some very interesting rabbit holes.
