Scottish Highlands: Inver Coille To Fort Augustus
Scottish Highlands: Inver Coille To Fort Augustus
Fort Augustus is interesting for the Caledonian Canal Staircase Locks. Otherwise it is very overcrowded with tourists. But we had a wonderful day with a little bit of fog and with great lights which enlightened the flat landscape around the canal very beautifully.

Riddler: *creeply describing a bunch of rithualistic procedures that a voice in his head told him to do while holding an old knife*
Batman: *tied to a sacrificial tabble* I'm starting to think maybe there's something weird with Riddler.

Loving Shadows
[Or, I wanted to make Edward a legit Sphinx again in an AU of mine] . . .
Lord Bruce Wayne frowned, perplexed.
What was his beloved winged cat doing with... this?
Eddie opted for his favorite form, half-way through human and Sphinx hybrid: a pair of strong ginger wings reminiscent of an akepa's on his back, fluffy cat ears on top of his silky hair and an equally pumpkin orange tail that prolonged his spine.
He maintained human limbs for the rest, these are often more practical than when his appearance involves feline paws in place of legs and arms. The Sphinx controlled his transformation enough to look fully human when he needs to, including retracting the massive wings to go unnoticed whenever he ventures into cities to blend in among the mass.
When he was home however, he wouldn't think of concealing the featherly appendage.
When he was home with his allies.
Allies that never implied... this.
The Vampire perched on the edge of the leather couch in that living room to watch his friend (boyfriend? Ed and Bruce nurture a rocky relationship for centuries, they still haven't found a correct label to categorize their bond) being all joyous and enthusiastic, whilst he assembled a complex puzzle with the... creature settled on a cushion facing him.
An unusual, terrifying creature.
Edward had sat on the huge carpet covering the old wooden flooring, where he disposed a nest of fluffy pillows all around his frame. This is habitual in itself: his cat reflexes seek for soft, mellow surfaces to knead and take quality naps after his throat released intense, vibrating purrs.
Bruce will never stop finding everything about his acolyte plainly adorable.
Over the year, Wayne Manor hosts various fellow 'monsters' as humans renamed them. Almost like an hotel though this had never been the gothic residence's official title or function. The alive mansion simply... opens its gates to those who travel in the area and could use benefitting from a safe place to stay. Like... well yes, like an hotel.
At present they were just the two of them plus Alfred, the Fae attached to Wayne property. The house is protected by repulsive charms to hide from humans on top of being rooted at a fringe location surrounded by a private forest. Dick and Barbara, a lovely couple of Sirens who took holidays on the shore, left last week, after promising to return soon: they enjoyed their time in Gotham and in the Manor. Bruce and Ed loved them, they bonded with the Sirens and Eddie had a great time playing tour guide at their demand.
Hence... no client in their 'hotel' today.
Just Bruce, Alfred somewhere in the alive household, Edward and... that small blonde thing.
The little girl gasped when she suddenly noticed the Vampire, crouched motionless like an ancient gargoyle on the armrest. He stared at her with piercing metallic blue eyes, inside which permanently shone a red, ruby-colored sparkle.
"How long since you've been there?" She inquired, her own Caribbean blue eyes opened wide.
Bruce detected curiosity only in her gaze and within her whole attitude. Not an ounce of fear.
That's... not ordinary, to say the least.
"Don't mind him, being quiet and sneaking up on people is Bruce's guilty pleasure for over seven centuries," the Sphinx jested in a complicit manner. "He still thinks it's funny."
"It is funny," the Vampire declared in a laconic tone of voice.
"Brucie, let me introduce Stephanie Brown!" Eddie went on, grinning smugly, what discovered all his sharp white teeth. "Stephie, this is Bruce Wayne. The owner of the place."
"Nice meeting you, sir!" The kid smirked as well, what appeared almost... cute.
How old could she be? Five? Six? Bruce had never been good with kids, even less human ones. Either ways she seems to rely on a bright cleverness, maybe she was a bit ahead of her age.
That still didn't explain why Edward brought an alive human to Bruce's property. Had the Sphinx lost his mind?!
"Eddie," the Bat blamed him right away. "We need to talk."
Bruce had a feeling today will be a long day. ...................
Love it so far? Read the full story (it’s a 2k work divided in three short chapters, what you read there being the first chapter of the fic) here: Loving Shadows Don’t forget kudos and / or comments if you liked! Sending ya love & good vibes, thank you for reading ;)

Cale will occasionally pick up stray 'animals' that not at all animals
They are either vicious and violence beastman type or mysthical creatures that only said in legend
The best part is how those 'animals' grow fond and overprotective toward Cale after spending time with him
Cale will act proud and high, parading around his 'animals' like those fancy old lady with their fancy cat or dog
[No one has the gut to tell Cale that those 'animals' are dangerous]
But behind the door he will smoothering them, cuddling them, and whine and complaint at them like a spoiled kid, like those overly obssesses pet owner
He think his 'animals' are just normal animals, ignoring that he heard them talk (thinking it's just a dream), ignoring the snake that suspiciously look like a noodle dragon, a cat with horn (hey, maybe they gone through evolution!!), until one day he found himself waking up too early beside a naked man where it's supposed to be his beloved 'cat' place and found another naked man in the room closing the window as if he just sneak in

The Turul, the mythical bird of Hungarians
One of the most beautiful and mysthical symbol of Hungarians is the Turul bird. The Turul is probably a large falcon, and the origin of the word is most likely Turkic: togrıl or turgul means a medium to large bird of prey. Turul – as first name – used in Turkey even today. In Hungarian tradition, Turul bird presumably originated as the clan symbol used in the 9th and 10th centuries by the ruling House of Arpad.
In the legends of the ancient Hungarian tribes Turul bird turns up several times. In the legend of Emese, the mother of all Hungarians , recorded in the Gesta Hungarorum and the Chronicon Pictum, the turul is mentioned as occurring in a dream of Emese, when she was already pregnant. In older literature, Turul himself is the “impregnator”, but the message is clear. The Turul’s role is one of a protector spirit, that defends the childrens of Emese from all harms. In a second dream by the leader of the Hungarian tribes those saint prey birds saved the their horses from an attack of wild eagles. And finally according the tradition, when the Hungarian tribes wandered from inner Asia to find a new home to settle down, a Turul bird led them here, to the Carpathian basin.
The Turul is used as in the design of coats of arms of the Hungarian Army, the Counter Terrorism Centre and the Office of National Security today. There were 3 large Turul statues, each with a wingspan of 15 metres, in the Historical Hungary (before the country had its borders reconfigured by the Treaty of Trianon). The last of the three stands on a mountain near Tatabánya, Hungary, but the other two were destroyed. The Tatabánya one is the largest bird statue in Europe, and the largest bronze statue in Central Europe. There remained 195 Turul statues in Hungary, as well as 48 in Romania (32 in Transylvania and 16 in Partium), 8 in Slovakia, 7 in Serbia, 5 in Ukraine, 1 in Austria. And one more as of 29th September 2012, St. Michael the Archangel’s Day erected in Hungary’s Ópusztaszer National Heritage Park neaby Szeged.

Cave dialogue c) Rayan talking about his father... and describing myself ~
Candy commented something about how the vast starry sky can make us feel small.
Tumblr media
"Yes, for me too. It was in moments like these that I most miss my father."
Candy: Why? Did he unravel the mysteries of the universe?
Tumblr media
"No, he didn't. He would always say that he was only enough smart to know his own ignorance."
Tumblr media
"That left a deep impression in me. I always tried to inspire on his humility, with some relative success, I must admit."
Candy: Hey, I didn't said anything... And you wanna know something...? You're pretty smart and you know it. There's nothing wrong with it.
Tumblr media
"I am mostly cultured. He... He was truly wise. He was an atrophysics researcher."
Tumblr media
"My passion for knowledge/research in the university world comes from him, without a doubt. I didn't see myself doing something else."
Candy: and you never took interest in the scientific world?
Tumblr media
"I would be lying if I told you that I never thought about it. I guess choosing History of Art..."
Tumblr media
"Was my way of rebelling against my father, although there are more radical ways to rebel, I admit it."
Candy: And how did he reacted to that? He didn't want you to succeed him?
Tumblr media
"I think, in his eyes, I actually did took after him. It little mattered which area was. He would've supported me in any path that I had choose."
Tumblr media
"Moreover, he wasn't the type to create conflict between academic disciplines. For him, everything was the same/equal."
Tumblr media
"It was he who gave me most of the philosophers to read. And he was obsessed with mysthical geometry."
Tumblr media
"He had a way fascinanting way of see the classic paintings or gothic cathedral facades..."
Tumblr media
"It was also talking to him that I understand how everything is inside everything, and reciprocally."
Tumblr media
"He had a prodigious ability to build mental bridges between totally different things..."
Tumblr media
"Anyway, it was only in appearance, until he observed with those eyes that saw the invisible..."
Candy: He sounds extraordinary. I wish I could've known him.
Tumblr media
"I would also for you to have known him. I bet you would've liked him."
Candy: Do you miss him a lot?
Tumblr media
"Not as much as my mom missed him. And... if our our ancestors are right..."
Tumblr media
"Today, he's with all the stars that he used to like so much. And then the whole of the infinite to myself to keep creating his theories."
Tumblr media
"And I keep applying his way of thinking in another field."
Tumblr media
"That's why I teach art and that cultural opening/shift is so important to me."
Candy: And you do that very well. I will always remember your classes... and of everything that came later.
Tumblr media
(He got so handsome blushing. Deep down, he always got kinda embarassed by compliments.)
Tumblr media
(So I left the talking to my gestures and I kissed him softly, under the light of the flames.)

This is silly and I loved how it went (specially because Harvey needs love and protection and to be far away from Crane) but I wanted more of everyone being completly oblivious that Crane is an horrible person even though he only does the bare minimal to hide it and does it poorly.
I want Oswald to think that codependent basically a puppet Two-Face is actually somehow a progress and he will soon be fine and he is soo happy Crane is helping all while Jon is purposifully making it worse (until maybe Harv snaps because again he deserves better) for no reason but because I think it would be hilarious if Oswald keept trying to hide crime and violence from Crane and acting like a bussiness man while the "good" doctor is actually unapologeticaly evil and is fucking people's minds, killing, maiming, selling drugs and playing creepy songs while doing it.
Maybe Oswald venting to the "good" doctor about his problems with Joker and Batman and more importantly his fears Scarecrow would become a bigger treat and Jonathan as the problem he is offers to make a psychological profille on Scarecrow so Oswald can maybe finally learn his identity. He provides some truthfull information and some actually great profilles on Joker and Batman but a lot of his Scarecrow profile is just him having fun confunding Oswald or even some information that of course he knows but there is no way he could've know just because of his degree like Scarecrow's favorite breakfast or that he likes his coffe black and since Oswald knows nothing about psychology he just thinks is this mysthical superpower thing and is impressed.
Not only that but Jonathan keeps his biggest BTAA superpower: being the most suspicious and creepy person ever who has all the red flag and barely hides it and still people think he is just some inocent civilian somehow.
Basically I want the delusional kingpin his husband the best lawyer ever who is undergoing a several mental breakdown and their pet professional gaslighter who is just fucking them up and of course gaslighting them for science and fun.

4 and 6 for the ask thing u rb'd!
4. Mythical creature you think/believe is real?
I'm not sure. First of all, my touch with supernatural and mysthic stuff is similar to Agent Mulder's one from X-Files. I want to believe. I really want to believe, but you cannot believe in angels without believing in demons and I actually don't want to know the weird creatures of the night that wander on the hills are real.
If anything I bet my money on cryptids, even if I can't tell you which one. Cryptozoology is only speculative until you find evidence.
(Oh, if I'm free to dream I want winged pigs to be real. They're my heraldry and I love them. But probably the real one is the squonk so fuck my luck ahshashasha)
6. Do you use a watch?
Nope. I should because I have 0 control of my time. However, the idea comes and goes from my mind and the concept of being literally handcuffed to Time is an allegory I don't want to be part of hahahaha.
