ProTorque Launches New Website with Interactive "Torque Converter Recommendation Engine" Selection Tool

ProTorque has launched an all-new eCommerce website which includes its Torque Converter Recommendation Engine (TCRE) – an industry-first, interactive torque converter selection tool which lets customers immediately search and sort to find the exact converter for their application. Built with years of real-world testing and validation to produce winning results, ProTorque’s Torque Converter Recommendation Engine carries the company’s legacy of innovation one step further. Compatible with both desktop and mobile devices, ProTorque’s new website centers around the TCRE and uses decades of experience to match the exact engine combination to the right torque converter and lets the user take complete control of their build. One of the biggest problems with torque converter selection is getting a knowledgeable tech to help guide the process. ProTorque's Torque Converter Recommendation Engine eliminates the guesswork and fear of ordering the wrong product as the tool was designed and backed by a talented team who have the experience to put more people in the winner’s circle. The TCRE experience begins by verifying the intended application’s usage. From street to strip, competition, or even diesel, visitors then choose their fuel type and whether or not they run a trans brake. Transmission options for Ford, GM, Chrysler, and other manufacturers allow the drill-down to go even further with specific applications. Next, users select their performance preferences including power level, vehicle weight, power adder type, and engine cubic inches. Finally, users can select additional torque converter features that they need, such as anti-ballooning plates, a billet front cover, billet stator, bolt-together assembly, clutch type, and more. Once all variables have been selected through the TCRE, the ProTorque website displays all possible matching torque converters, sorted by best-fit results. Visitors can quickly and easily see their options along with features and benefits, then move on to configuring the exact specs with input shaft spline count, stator type, sprag option, lock up option, and more allowing them to essentially custom-build their own torque converter online. All of ProTorque’s torque converters can be purchased online directly from the website so there’s no need to wait for business hours or call-in phone support; the best in technical guidance is available 24/7 all in one easy to access location, without having to call. Additionally, free delivery or pick-up is available from ProTorque’s Authorized Distributors – all of which are easily located under the “Dealers” section of the website as well. Coupled with other important functions such as sections for service requests, comprehensive technical information with videos and more, racer news, company updates, apparel, and more, ProTorque’s all new website makes it easier than ever to find the exact torque converter for any given combination. To learn more, or to order, visit ProTorque.com or call ProTorque directly at (631) 218-8700. About ProTorque: Since its inception in the 1980s, ProTorque has focused on quality and quality has been the reason for its phenomenal growth and customer loyalty. In 2020, Joe Rivera and ProTorque joined the Boninfante family in their state of the art facility in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where all resources are devoted to motorsports and the development of high-performance products.

re: frecklewish discourse

guys, i know you see Warrior Cats as owned by HarperCollins. but do you really think one of the largest publishing houses in the world is going to care about emails when they have millions of authors, and many more millions of books?

Erin Hunter (the authors AND editors) are part of Working Partners Ltd, aka Coolabi. They're the ones who deal with the official website. They are the ones hiring for the website. They are the ones WRITING the articles. Warrior Cats is one of their franchises.

HarperCollins will not care. As long as books get sold, they will not care, because it is Coolabi's actual franchise right now. Everything being done on the website? Not going to bother HarperCollins. It does not make them money.

Here is Coolabi's website: https://coolabi.com/about-us/

Here is the WarriorCats.com FAQ that specifies who is running it (note the footer too): https://warriorcats.com/contact-us/frequently-asked-questions

Here is the contact email for Working Partners Ltd attached for enquiries: [email protected]

Here is the contact email for Coolabi who own Working Partners Ltd: [email protected]

And just to be clear, Coolabi is also the company behind the Roblox game.

Introducing... The Warrior Cats Rarepair collection!

@addershine and I have made a rarepair prompt meme collection on AO3 to help create content, especially for ships! As @mallowstep has said, there's a severe lack of romantic fanfiction in the WC fandom and we'd like to encourage others to give it a try!

The collection is dedicated to helping boost rarepairs so shippers have more content and the fandom has more fics to devour.

So what is a rarepair? We're defining a rarepair as a ship with less than 10 works in their canonical relationship (/) tag. You can find more information on the collection page! Adder even made a whole spreadsheet of all current Warrior Cats rarepairs for reference!

If you write fanfiction or create fanart, you can add your fanworks into the collection or claim and fulfill prompts from other people. Anyone (must be signed in) can add a prompt - you're welcome to claim your own as well, and prompts can be fulfilled as many times as people like!

Because it's a celebration of my birthday, every anniversary (13 February) we'll post an overview of the last year, a sort of present to myself and to the fandom that I've been in the longest.

If you have any questions that aren't on the collection's intro or FAQ, please feel free to send either myself or Adder an ask. If you need an invite to join AO3 to participate, you can either sign up for the AO3 waitlist or contact one of us (off-anon) so we can get you an invite - we'll send this in a private ask or DM.

Also if you want prompts for a specific rarepair, send me an ask and I'll personally write a request on there with multiple prompts for you AND others to fulfill!

Nice work, fandom. Instead of protecting a minor, you harassed them and sent them death threats until they decided to leave Tumblr, further isolating themself.

When a minor is defensive about their relationship, providing support and resources is ideal. You don't tell them they DESERVED to be groomed because they like problematic ships. You don't harass them over and over again with the same messages.

We need more resources available to help minors identify grooming, but we also need to be decent people. That doesn't happen by telling minors that they don't know what's happening to them (it doesn't work - for anything). That doesn't happen by suicide baiting.

Every person involved in the suicide baiting, the harassment, and the blaming of proshipping on a minor who needed SUPPORT - NOT HATE... You are disgusting.

You are the people who need to be removed from the fandom to protect minors. You are the ones who have driven a minor into further isolation.

Start considering how your actions affect people.

You are 100% valid if you are uncomfortable with shipping certain ships, writing or reading plots, or anything else

Just please remember that your preferences are not the same as others and you cannot impose them on anyone

Roevember Day 11-13: Gold, Silver, and Bronze

Aether had a certain level of conductivity through various materials. Like electricity, certain elements were better at channeling aether than others, and even aspected aether preferred one kind of metal or stone over another. Electrical aether, for example, easily coursed through a copper wire, while fire aether was better to control in anything with a high melting point.

Life aether was special, as it only held within organic, or previously organic materials. It quickly dissipated when conducted through any material that was not capable of harboring life. This meant that most healing staves are carved of wood, tomes of bound leather and paper, and planispheres of all three. Nouliths are the first deviation from that pattern, their cores composed of adder stones, a material seemingly rife with potential, but merely just flint run through by rushing water. Some scholars proposed that due to its vein-like structure, the life aether struggles to differentiate between it and other organic materials. Others argue if that is the case, why doesn't a sewer pipe also hold life aether? Many shouting matches occurred in this debate, with none coming out on top.

Regardless, it opens the hypothesis: if a mere stone is capable of transmitting life aether, then other elements might also be able to as well.

Thus, Soemrifaeld was sent off with another assignment under his dad's name; bring back one item each of pure, raw gold and silver, along with the highest quality bronze alloy. Simple, all things considered, but he can't help the uneasy feeling he has that the last might prove to be an issue.

Naturally, as expected, gold and silver are not hard to come by, especially being unprocessed. Expensive, yes, but it isn't coming out of his pocket (not that he doesn't worry about his own father's budget, and if the man is so far gone as to forgo meals and rent in favor of his research). However, with bronze being an alloy, it’s mostly a matter of commissioning a blacksmith to craft a bar or two for him.

“Just bronze? That’s all?” The older man asks, face smudged with little spots of soot. Though Old Sharlayan is mainly academic types, there are those few who pursued trades, and even fewer who pursued arts. The man, a hyur named Oskar in his late fifties, has a small studio in the arts district, off to the side and out of the way of every other location in the city-state.

“Yes, with no other additive, thank you,” Soemrifaeld responds meekly. He has a difficult time conversing with not only gruff men, but artists as well. Having to talk to a person that is both is pushing his social fortitude to its limits within record time.

Oskar squints at Soemrifaeld, brushing his chin with his hand and humming to himself. Soemrifaeld feels himself shrinking with each passing second, to the point where he feels he’s half the metalworker's height when he finally speaks again. “Simplest request I’ve had in years. Can’t complain.”

Soemrifaeld lets out the breath he’d been holding. What is it about these types of guys that make his anxiety spike and send his overactive imagination into a tailspin? He tries to will both his heart and stomach into a calm state of mind, as he’s told about the payment upfront and after the project is finished.

“Can I ask what kind of gleaner job needs a piece this simple?” Oskar asks, after counting the pieces of gil handed over.

“Oh. Ah-” Soemrifaeld stutters.

“Unless you can’t. NDA. I get it,” he placates, Soemrifaeld feeling bad about being so visibly tense.

It isn’t that he necessarily can’t. Some specific details are meant to be kept under wraps from outsiders, even from the gleaner’s themselves. Even had he not been informed by a summary paper, just the name of the researcher would have tipped him off enough to know exactly why these items are being requested. After all, his dad has been on this one single subject for the majority of his life. As much as he would be happy to hear he’s finally dropped it, has moved on and tried to reconnect with his ex-wife and son, Soemrifaeld knows his dad, even with the lack of contact. He’ll be at this till he’s figured it out, or dead in the ground.

“Research into aetherical conductivity,” he says, after drawing in a deep breath.

“Hm, I see,” the man nods, “Strange that they have to get someone else to grab this instead of getting it themself.”

“Tell me about it,” Soemrifael grumbles, then blushes upon realizing he’s said that out loud, after Oskar barks out a loud laugh.

“Sounds like you’ve got a personal grudge,” he grins, and despite not knowing the depths, hits it right on the head. Though it might be personal opinion if “grudge” is an understatement or not. “Well, don’t let it tear you down. Sometimes you gotta work with shit clients. The pay isn’t good, the money is terrible, and you wouldn’t even wipe your ass with what they ask for.” Soemrifaeld’s face twists up at the man’s crass words, but listens on. “They get what they want, you come out on the other side a more bitter person. But you still do it, because sometimes you got nothing better to do.

“You want my advice, though? Sometimes nothing is better than something. Sometimes you look at these garbage people with their garbage taste, and you just say ‘no’.”

Oskar lets the words hang in the air as he looks at Soemrifaeld for a response. He certainly does have a point, despite the foul mouth they came from. Even without saying a thing, Soemrifaeld has given the appropriate answer that Oskar was looking for.

“Want me to cancel the order?” He says with a grin, half joking, but also absolutely serious. Soemrifaeld sighs.

“Unfortunately I’ve already taken the job,” he says, very tempted to take the man up on his offer. Two thirds of the request have already been completed, as well, and this last one isn’t that bad either. Less so now, Soemrifaeld notices.

“Ah well. Shame,” Oskar says, taking the gil with him behind a door near the front counter. He comes back out a moment later. “It’ll be done within three days, come back then to pick it up, alright?”

Soemrifaeld nods and thanks Oskar, turning to make his way outside. Just as the bell above the door jingles, signaling his departure, Oskar calls out one last time, “If they ask you to be an errand boy again, tell ‘em to stick it!” As the door closes, Soemrifaeld holds up a hand in goodbye and tries to grin, though it likely looks more like a grimace.

Halfway down the street, nearly out of the arts district, Soemrifaeld leans against a wall for support. How he wouldn’t love to tell his dad off, oh, the look on his face would be… Devastating. The man’s already lost everything, even if most of it was his own doing. He really is just an errand boy, barely even a son. Still, is the rift wide enough between them that it can no longer be mended? Is it wide enough that completely severing ties won’t hurt? No, both roads lead to pain, obviously, and he’s too far in his life to deal with either side. Sitting at the crossroads is just fine. Who cares if it makes him a coward? There are more important things in his life than picking up the pieces left by his dad.

It isn’t important, even if it haunts him.

Heya, howdy, I'm Adder (though my partner and some of my friends call me Adds, and you can feel free to do so as well!) and I am opening (for an undefined amount of time) my ART TRADES and ART REQUESTS!

For the requests, I draw fnaf animatronics (all games including fnaf world bc i love those lil shits), my human versions of those same animatronics, and dsaf to a degree (examples below include the FNAF 1 crew, my human versions of Nightmare and Nightmare Fredbear, and my designs of Dave and Old Sport from DSAF)

Regarding my art trades, I'll draw human ocs, your fnaf/dsaf ocs, if you have a persona/fursona/fnafsona/dsafsona, I'll draw them, and I also do standard fnaf/dsaf things if you dont want me to draw your ocs. Usually if I'm doing trades with people I ask for them to draw one of my ocs as I like seeing my ocs in other people's art styles (it makes me happy bc so many people have such nice art styles). If people dont want to/arent comfortable with drawing ocs, I often ask for one of my many favorite fnaf characters (below are examples of things I have drawn FOR OTHER PEOPLE, which include Springbonnie x Golden Freddy, StevenPeter, a present I made for my lovely partner, a request from my friend, my other friend getting a lil smooch from a design of a character I have, and my younger sister)

If you're up for an art trade, my DMs are open!! requests are standard, send them to the inbox via anon/not anon. I'd love to get out of my art block!!💙💙

Fire Burn and Cauldron Bubble

A/N: A Draco fic no-one asked for! I’m rereading A Discovery of Witches so it’s got me inspired. I don’t plan to post anything over the weekend, I want a couple of days off before I post every day next week. This wasn't requested but I was inspired, so I hope you enjoy!

Title: Macbeth, Act 4: Scene 1

Summary: Draco needs a new stockist.

Pairing: Draco Malfoy x Fem!Reader

Warnings: FLUFF - SO MUCH FLUFF.

Word count: 2.2k

Of all the avenues of employment open to Draco Malfoy after his graduation from Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, he surprised everyone by staying on at the school to apprentice under Professor Slughorn.

Horace Slughorn had retired once before and was eager to do so again; already fantasising about his golden years in the countryside. Draco Malfoy was his first and only choice for successor to his post – his grades in class rivalling those of Hermione Granger.

Draco’s training took two years where in that time he became able to rattle off ever potion ingredient and method just from hearing the very name of the potion.

Three years into his career and his first year teaching without Slughorn at his side, Draco’s stockist retires – also desiring a life in the country.

It leaves him in a lurch.

He spends an entire month of his summer holiday researching potion shops before discovering one off the beaten track in Diagon Alley – closer to muggle London than the rest of the shops. So much so that the shop wasn’t protected by the enchantments surrounding Diagon Alley and as a result, the shop seemed to have a steady stream of muggle customers.

Draco enters Cauldron Bubble and is immediately taken back by the sheer amount of stock. Potion ingredients, materials for poppets, prayer candles are just a few of the items that catch his attention. The intoxicating scent of myrrh and sweet orange washes over him. A heady smell that soon opens up to more delicate notes such as vanilla and tansy.

Draco doesn’t immediately seek out the items on his list, but instead walks slowly around the shop, committing it all to memory. There are shelves of books dedicated to the craft of potion brewing but also in the art of divination; particularly tarot readings and palmistry. The entire back wall of the shop is dedicated to what could be hundreds of small draws; each filled with their named herb or plant.

He wanders through the store, feeling entirely at ease with the idea of spending the rest of his day here, discovering the shop’s deepest secrets.

A voice greets him as he finishes his circuit of the small shop, “How can I help you today?”

Draco smiles in greeting, “I’m hoping you have these ingredients,” he says, handing you his long list.

You read over the list, “I do. I have all of these – would you like to take them now or would you like them delivered…” you trail off, looking at him for his name.

“Draco Malfoy. I’m the Potions Professor at Hogwarts.”

“Draco,” You confirm, “I can get these for you now unless you’d like them sent to Hogwarts?”

“Now is fine,” he smiles, “I’m intrigued by your collection if I’m honest.”

You laugh, nodding knowingly, “It’s my pride and joy.”

Draco agrees, leaning on the counter, “It’s bigger than my stockroom if I’m being honest.”

“Now that makes me even happier.” You declare, pointing at the Professor.

The ingredients take time to be collected, but the silence that should be awkward, isn’t. It’s filled with conversation after conversation about the curriculum at Hogwarts and how long Cauldron Bubble has been open.

Draco admits to himself, as you finish tying the final string bow on his parcels, that he feels a little sad about leaving. He had enjoyed his time with you regardless of how short it had been; he felt as if he knew you. He felt as if he could form a friendship with you.

You hand him his parcels in a paper bag, smiling, “I hope to see you again soon,” you say in goodbye.

Draco smiles at you, “I hope to come back soon.” He offers as his parting.

---------------

On a bleak January morning, Draco walks into your shop, stamping his feet to get the last of the sharp, winter cold out of his body.

“To what do I owe this pleasure?” You smile.

Draco grins in reply, handing over his list, “Another stock up.”

“Another? You came in before Christmas as I remember.” You smirk at the blonde-haired man, “Did someone miss me?”

Draco blushes, stuttering out his answer, “The… the students have had a few weeks off, they’ll have fallen into old habits with potion ingredients.”

You laugh, “You are one smoother thinker, Draco. It’s a good job I knew you were coming; I have your usual stock set aside.” You read down his list, checking you have everything put away, but you stop at one item. “Agrimony?”

“It’s coming up to Valentine’s Day.” Draco offers as explanation.

One of the properties of Agrimony is that it can break enchantments. Draco uses the yellow flower in his antidote for love potions. He frowns at the thought of how much antidote he would have to brew for those on the receiving end of an unwanted love potion. If he could ban any potion, it would be Amortentia. Not that he didn’t believe in love or anything along those lines, but the effects of Amortentia are never real and the aftermath is often worse than being under its spell.

Through his last two Valentine’s Days at Hogwarts as Potions Professor, he had to comfort countless students through the aftermath of the potion as well as deduct house points and hand out detentions to the students who think it funny to unknowingly drug a fellow student.

In his antidote for students, Draco also sprinkles in the petals of Feverfew and Boneset to ensure protection from enchantments or a broken heart, Draco never knows but he makes sure that his students are protected, nonetheless.

You nod at Draco, understanding the need for a potion to break enchantments through this particular holiday. “Here’s your Agrimony as well as your usual stock, is there anything else you need?”

Draco thinks it over, “I better stock up on Boneset, Feverfew, and Adder’s Tongue too.”

You raise an eyebrow, “It’s a very thorough potion you’re making here, Draco.”

He nods, “Too many students are drugged with the Amortentia potion and little is done to control it so I do what I can to protect any student I can.”

“That’s a wonderful thing to do, Draco.” You say quietly; touched by his words.

“I don’t just make potions with the plants and herbs. I make charms to go in their bags and to hang in their rooms too. Anything to protect.” Draco states; thinking back to a group of fifth year girls who had become targets by a group of sixth year boys; each girl suffering through a love potion before coming down from its high. Draco had made sure they each had a charm to carry in their bag as well as a vial of the antidote should one of them ingest the potion again.

You nod silently; overcome by the emotion in his words. You know then and there just how dedicated Draco was to his profession and the students he sees every day. You hand him his bag of herbs and plants with a smile which he returns before walking to the door.

He’s almost out the door when your voice calls out again, “Draco, I know we don’t know each other very well except for when you need to fill your stockroom, but you’re a good teacher and a good man – you know that right?”

He turns to you with his hand on the door handle; silver lining his eyes, “Thank you.” He whispers before opening the door and leaving.

-----

Your words play on his mind through the week leading up to Valentine’s Day and the week after the holiday too. He spends all of his spare time in the hospital wing with Madame Pomfrey; offering the antidote and words of comfort to each and every student that come in with symptoms of being drugged with Amortentia.

From Madame Pomfrey’s ceaseless ranting through those two weeks, Draco knows that she feels just as strongly about the need to rid the world of a potion like Amortentia.

Draco starts to think of you more and more, especially after each visit to Cauldron Bubbles where you go through his ingredient list with the practiced precision of a Potioneer.

His feelings for you really do take him by surprise. It comes with elation as he finally has a name for the butterflies in his stomach and the racing of his heart whenever he thinks of your smile or your focused look as you check and recheck the ingredients on the list.

He starts to visit Cauldron Bubble more often; making his way through the Professors at Hogwarts to see if they may possibly need something for their class. Professor Trelawney always has something for him to pick up, and Draco feels the urge to apologise to her for every time he was rude to her when he was a teenager.

Draco’s feelings for you only increase with each visit. He craves to see your face light up when he walks in the door; the bell above the door announcing his arrival. The light flirting with each visit was pushing him towards something more.

If only he could think of how to tell you.

---------------------

Draco ropes Madame Pomfrey into his plans to woo you; though she doesn’t necessarily know that

“Please, Poppy, you must have something you need to stock up on… I mean Madame Pomfrey,” Draco corrects when he meets her glare.

She raises an eyebrow, unimpressed with the former student, “You’re awfully interested in my stock cupboard, Mr. Malfoy. Whatever for?”

“Call it my New Year’s Resolution.”

“It’s May,” Madame Pomfrey nonchalantly reminds him, replacing the water jugs at the side of each hospital bed.

“Of the New Year,” Draco emphasises, following her, “And mine is to help more. So are you sure there is nothing I can’t get you?”

Madame Pomfrey sighs, bustling back to her desk. She notes down a few ingredients, “I’m running low on these herbs and plants for a tea I brew so you can get these for me.”

Draco beams, taking the list, even going so far as to kiss Madame Pomfrey on the cheek before sprinting back to his private quarters where he can floo to Diagon Alley… and to you.

--------------------

“Draco!” You call, “Back already? You aren’t due another visit for oh… another week or so.” Your eyes alight with mirth as you pick fun at the Professor.

He blushes, waving his list in the air, “Sent on an errand by Madame Pomfrey.”

“Don’t keep it to yourself! Hand it over, let’s see what Madame Pomfrey needs.” You cover your mouth to stifle the laugh as you read over the list from Draco, “Madame Pomfrey gave you this list did she?”

“Handed it to me herself, why?”

“Draco, to say you’re a Potions Professor, you can be quite dense.”

He frowns; you laugh at his puzzled expression. “Madame Pomfrey sent you to get the ingredients for a tea that curbs the menstrual cycle. A form of contraception.”

Draco doesn’t need to look into a mirror to know he’s blushing; he can feel the heat radiating from his cheeks – he’s sure it could heat his own cauldron. “Ah,” he begins, “Well, that’s a very responsible thing to have in a school like Hogwarts, wouldn’t you say?”

You nod, “Very much so. Madame Pomfrey to be admired.”

“Yes, I agree.”

“And you as well. For being her humble servant for this task.”

Draco rubs his hand across the back of his neck. “It was nothing. Truthfully, I pestered her until she gave me a list of ingredients.”

“Now why would you do that?”

“To see you,” He admits, eyes shining with truth.

“You pestered the Matron of Hogwarts for a list of ingredients… all to see me?”

He nods silently. Your eyes crinkle with your smile, “That has to be the cutest thing anyone has ever done for me. How long have you been coming here to see me as well as to get potion ingredients?”

Some part of Draco wants to scream as he admits, “Since January.”

“That long?” You ask, eyes wide.

He nods again.

“Why didn’t you just ask me to dinner?”

“I didn’t want to offend you and lose you as my stockist.”

You laugh, “I’ve been waiting for you to ask me out since January you know?”

“No, I didn’t know.” He almost shouts; hating the fact that he could have been dating you all this time but was too scared to make a move.

“And you wouldn’t lose me as your stockist even if we did date.”

“No?”

“Haven’t you noticed that I’ve been undercharging you for your ingredients?”

Draco does the quick math in his head; thinking of how healthy his department budget had been when he handed it in to McGonagall back in March. “No… I didn’t notice.”

You nod your head slowly, “That was my way of flirting as well as the open ended questions.”

Draco rubs a hand over his face, “I can’t believe we’ve been dancing around each other for this long.”

Laughing you make your way from behind the counter. You pull his hands from his face, keeping them in yours, “Hey Draco, want to go to dinner with me?”

He grins down at you; letting the joy run through his body, “I’d love to.”

Years ago, when I was young, me and my, now, wife named Grace, lived as servants to a wealthy man who lived on a isolated island. On that island we were tasked with caring for the gardens, feeding and handling his pets, and cleaning the mansion. The Master granted us passage to any place on the island we could reach save the study at the top of the stairs. He forbade us enter no matter what, for the punishment would surely kill us if either one of us dared enter. Every morning the Master would come down stairs to have breakfast with us and spend the day with us. We read, played, learned, and whiled the hours away until late afternoon when the Master would return to his study where he would stay for the night. As such we spent several years living in such a manner, but just like life and daylight, eventually every good thing comes to an end.

It was a bright summer morning and me and Grace had been preparing for the day cleaning the mansion, feeding the Master's pets, and caring for the gardens. I had been dusting in the parlour down the hall from the second story stairs when I heard a call from upstairs. Grace had accidentally let a snake into the mansion while feeding and the slithery little reptile had made its way to the study. She said that we should go and get the snake from the study, but I reminded her that the Master had explicitly forbade us entering that room under any condition. She told me that it had been the venomous adder that had gone into the room, and she was worried for the Master's life. As such I decided to go as well to help in the search.

Upon entering the forbidden room we found a vast library where books and drawings and writings covered the walls. The designs pictured many wondrous creations few I understood. Of those that I did comprehend some resembled weapons, great and powerful, and others were intricate pieces of art seemingly designed for farm work. My curiosity was demanding that I explore further, however my fear of discipline was greater, for The Master was sleeping soundly on a small bed on the side of the room not unlike the ones in the servants quarters. Quickly we found the offending serpent and carefully left seemingly without waking the Master.

Later when the Master came down for breakfast me and Grace acted as if nothing were amiss and hoped that the Master had not noticed our intrusion this morn, but alas he came forward and asked, "Did either of you enter my study this morning?"

I answered, " Grace had let a snake into the mansion that went into your study."

And Grace replied, "The snake was an adder and I feared for your life."

The Master looked at us with great disappointment and sadness. "Go and collect that which is yours for you will be leaving this day. For you have gone to the one place I forbade you to go and have broken my trust. Now you can not stay here, nor shall you be allowed to return."

Thus I and Grace gathered our belongings and made our way to the shore where the Master had readied a boat for our departure filling it with enough food and water for seven days and nights. With tears in his eyes the Master sent us off warning us to never try and return for only he knew how to reach the island safely.

We sailed for seven days and nights before arriving safely on another shore. There we made a home for ourselves where we raised our children and spent our last days. Throughout our many years travelers would pass by seeking shelter and bringing word from across the land, sadly none bore word of the Master's island nor did any of our children or grandchildren or our great grandchildren have any luck in search of the island.

As I lay here on my death bed I pass on to you my last request; find the island, find the Master, and apologize in my stead. I know it's still there as shall he, and I know that he is lonely. I pray that even one of my line will be able to go back and right the wrong that we committed on that day.

-- Marcus

Ayaka Baelsar Headcanons

As soon as she could walk, she loved following Gaius around.

Refers to herself as a hyu-ra and has basically embraced being stared at for her horns and scales. Used to, she would hide them in order to blend in better but with some help from her mother and father, she started being less ashamed of the things that made her different.

Informally part of the Scions though mostly does adventurer work like her mother before her. She specializes in protection missions and in hunting down beasts that have caused problems for civilians. She was requested to join the Order of the Twin Adders but declined because she did not want to feel obligated to stay in Eorzea.

Loves a good spar, just like her father. Has a tendency to be smiling as she fights, a trait picked up by Kaida.

Surprisingly average at magic. Kaida taught her some healing spells before she left to become an adventurer.

Has a pet flying hawk named Hoshi.

She’s not seen as very ladylike and tends to be quite messy/sloppy. Her carefree, bubbly nature has led Kaida to compare her to Lyse at times.

She doesn’t like wearing her hair down and prefers ponytails/braids/buns.

Ayaka is a bit clumsy at times, both physically and verbally. She has a tendency to use words that don’t entirely mean what she thinks they mean. Shiori has to correct her often.

Despite Jin being incredibly in-shape, Ayaka is considered the strongest of the two, particularly when it comes to heavy lifting. Jin can probably outrun her though. Probably to his benefit that he can.

Ayaka’s never really be fond of reading or studying per say unless it’s practical outdoorsy things or martial-arts related. She usually just has Shiori summarize stuff for her that she doesn’t understand.

Extroverted and loves people. Especially kids! Will lift them up and carry them around like a sack of potatoes.

Not entirely swole but very muscled under her armor.

♥RP HOOKS ♥

Do not let her size and looks deceive you. This very petite and young looking miqo is well versed in combat and some magic. She is also known in Gridana for her work as a conjurer and her ability to listen to the voices of the forest and its wildlife.

Alicia does have the power of the Echo, but tends to keep it quiet and hidden. She has yet to meet anyone else that can use it and doesn’t want people to think her weird or pick on her for it. Since she used to be bullied a lot back in her tribe.

Alicia is a Lieutenant for the Twin Adders and is currently working her way up to becoming a Captain. She was not usually found on the front lines. She was often found in the medical tents and wards when the liberation of the nations from Garlemald were happening. Ali had gone to the front lines a very very few times to help heal and bring the soldiers home, both alive and passed.

Ali has never been in a relationship nor been with a man. She has dedicated all of her time to work, helping others, and her flowers and plants. She has had a lot of flirtatious passes on her but she is so innocent all moves made went right over her head and she truly believed that they were just being nice. She will also never be seen in revealing clothes.

Ali is a very bright and bubbly person. She loves to chat and ask questions so sometimes you have to reel her in or she can drive people up the wall. She works in a flower shop part time she loves making bouquets for special occasions and finds it a huge stress relief from work. She does read a lot, and exercises daily in the form of dance. She will help anyone with just about anything (but not everything). Even if you just need a friend or a shoulder to cry on you can count on the tiny miqo to be there for you.

She does fear deeply of standing out too much or having too much attention on her. Back at her tribe she was heavily bullied for being so small and having such brilliant white hair. Because of this she does find solace in being alone and it doesn't really bother her but she does prefer to be with her friends or toting her overweight feline around.

♥About the Mun♥

My time zone is EST. While mature she is not interested in finding anyone at the moment. I am looking for friends with her and maybe some enemies.

New Post has been published on Present Truth

New Post has been published on https://presenttruth.info/fear-not-coronavirus-precautions/

Fear Not! Coronavirus Precautions!

“Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love” (2 John 3).

I pray that you are doing well despite the perilous times in which we are living.

I am a first responder with our volunteer fire department. I just wanted to share a few things with you about the caronavirus that were shared with our department.

First of all, Thus saith the Lord, “Fear not!” This phrase is found 63 times in the Bible.

“Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32).

“Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof” (Matthew 6:25-34).

“And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matthew 10:28).

“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation” (Psalms 91:1-16).

“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD” (Isaiah 54:17).

“But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee” (Isaiah 43:1, 2).

“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness” (Isaiah 41:10).

For a study on trusting the Lord for everything, please read the following article.

The Faith of the Son of God – Jun-Jul 2018

Paul exclaimed, “I live by the faith of the Son of God” (Galatians 2:20). Wait a minute, I know we are to “…walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7), but Paul talks about “the faith of” God’s Son, not his own faith. …Read More

Some Precautions

1) Wash your hands often. Hands are the number one carrier of germs and viruses.

2) Avoid touching your mouth, nose, and eyes.

3) Drink lots of water. The caronavirus first attaches in your throat, and cannot survive well in warm temperatures. It can be washed down to the stomach by warm water where it will be killed by your stomach acid. If you have a sore throat gargle with warm salt water, and drink lots of water.

4) Monitor yourself and others with a thermometer, preferably one that does not need to touch the patient.

5) Stay at least six feet away from anyone who has symptoms of caronavirus without protection. Protection will include gloves, mask, eye protection, and a gown. Even with these precautions, limit all contact, and carefully remove and dispose of the protection, then wash your clothes, shower, and change into clean clothes. Spray the bottom of your shoes with a disinfectant like Lysol, before entering your vehicle or house after you have been exposed to coronavirus.

According to the CDC Website here are some things you should watch for.

Watch for symptoms Reported illnesses have ranged from mild symptoms to severe illness and death for confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases. The following symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure.*

Fever

Cough

Shortness of breath

*This is based on what has been seen previously as the incubation period of MERS-CoV viruses.

If you develop emergency warning signs for COVID-19 get medical attention immediately. Emergency warning signs include*:

Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath

Persistent pain or pressure in the chest

New confusion or inability to arouse

Bluish lips or face

*This list is not all inclusive. Please consult your medical provider for any other symptoms that are severe or concerning.

If you suspect someone to be a carrier of the caronavirus, they will probably not be transported to the hospital unless they have emergency warning signs.

Currently, President Trump is requesting that you avoid gatherings of more than ten people, and avoid unnecessary travel.

I am not giving you everything you need to know about this, so check your trusted news sources for more information.

The best preparation you can make is to draw near to God. “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded” (James 4:8).

There are a lot of promises of protection in the Bible for us, claim them and believe them for you and your family. If there is known sin in your life, ask God to remove it, then ask Him to reveal more light. Watch and pray is the instruction Jesus gave His disciples before their faith was severely tried.

As students of the Bible we should not be surprised by things like this. There are a lot of potential events behind the scenes that might explain why this is going on right now. The bottom line is, Satan is behind it all.

“…Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time” (Revelation 12:12).

The final conflict will be over worship. Read Revelation 13. God’s Ten Commandments are split into two sections, 1-4 deal with worship to God, 5-10 deal with how we treat people. The primary commandments that will be involved in this final conflict revolve around commandments 1 and 4.

On February 18, 1890 there was a Breckenridge Sunday Bill presented to the House of Representatives in the United States. Here is a portion of what this bill entailed.

“Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That it shall be unlawful for any person or corporation, or employee of any person or corporation in the District of Columbia, to perform any secular labor or business, or to cause the same to be performed by any person in their employment on Sunday, except works of necessity or mercy; nor shall it be lawful for any person or corporation to receive pay for labor or services performed or rendered in violation of this act…”

JO Corliss testified before the house in opposition to this bill saying,

“…In this connection let me say, gentlemen, that the District of Columbia has just the same kind of a Sunday law as that of Ohio. This law of the District of Columbia was in force when this book was issued which I hold in my hand, which was April 1, 1868; and I am told that this law (which I will read) was re-enacted in 1874. I now quote from the law. Section 1 provides that- ‘If any person shall DENY THE TRINITY, he shall, for the first offense, be bored through the tongue, and fined twenty pounds; … and for the second offense, the offender being thereof convict as aforesaid, shall be stigmatized by burning on the forehead with the letter B, and fined forty pounds; and for the third offense, the offender being thereof convict as aforesaid, shall suffer death, without the benefit of the clergy.’ Section 10 of the same law has this:- ‘No person whatever shall do any bodily labor on the Lord’s day, commonly called Sunday …’ Now, gentlemen, that law has never been repealed.” (Arguments on the Breckinridge Sunday Bill, by AT Jones, pages 3,13).

Friends, we are living in perilous times. The Lord is coming soon. The final crisis will be over worship, and the two primary aspects that will be brought to law will cause people to violate God’s Ten Commandment Laws on the true God we worship, and the day on which we worship. How those will be brought to play in forbidding people to buy or sell unless they violate these Laws is yet to be seen. But pay attention, friends, it is coming. Make sure you know who you worship, and worship Him in Spirit and in Truth, and worship Him in part by resting “the Sabbath day according to the Commandment” (Luke 23:56).

Please read these booklets: God’s Love on Trial, National ID and the Mark of the Beast, and The Mark of the Beast.

Farewell my Brothers and Sisters. God bless you and keep you.

“For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen” (Ephesians 3:14-21).

In Christian Love, Your Brother in Christ, Lynnford Beachy

Lord Adder? like a "certain" Death Adder? >:3 Some feedback: *If will be long and ramificated enough to contemplate a save game feature, leave the choice to player when do it would be better than automatic. Otherwise associate it with REST. *Make a enemy health meter or a "tome of defeat monsters" with their characteristics *Some tracks like David Orr musics or the Chuck Cirino's OST for Deathstalker movies would fit *As easteregg, items inspired by your previous tumblr asks and art may be fun.

Well, nothing specific but Adders are also a variety of European snake so it is meant to be a name that conveys a menacing vibe. Not sure if Death Adder is a reference to something specific like a metal band or edgy anime...

As for when the player "does it", they already have the choice- on the provision that they win the fight, of course. If Linda is defeated, it's not really up to her what happens after that. If Linda succeeds and isn't aroused, she'll take her victory and go but if she wins and IS aroused (75% Will or lower) then the players may have the option to engage with the enemy. Just know that some enemies pass out or are destroyed when defeated by force.

Enemy Health Meter was highly requested so I'll include an Enemy Health Indicator in the next build. Tome of Defeated Monsters sound like a really good stretch goal if the game gets funded. As for Sound Track, I can't use any licensed music if I don't want to get a DMCA so I have to use royalty-free tracks for now. I'd love to hire a composer to give the game a more unique audio profile but that will take a lot of money as I'd have to commission them for every track or put them on payroll.

CHARACTER SPOTLIGHT

ADDISON WOODS, P 1

For anyone who does not know what this is, Character Spotlight 1 is where I criticized how a specified character is written. Part 2 is where I analyze the character and make predictions. Also, I'm doing these in a slightly different format, so if you see me redo my Damian character spotlight, don't be surprised (plus I'm not proud of that one). I am also specifically criticizing how the character is written. I'm no expert when it comes to art, so if you'd like a critique on his design, I'd recommend bugging @rzphhs.

Zoophobia belongs to our fandom's Lord and savior, Vivziepop. This, however, is not a critique of her CURRENT writing skills. Not sure if you noticed, but zoophobia is kinda old. The reason I'm doing this is because I believe that when we analyze stories we love and find flaws within them, we can find ways to improve our own writing. I do not hate Vivziepop, and this is not meant as an attack. Also, you're free to disagree with me. I'm not some godly figure who's always correct. However, I ask that any comments remain civil. If any arguments or whatever break out over this, Imma Chase some bitches with a pool noodle. We good? Let's go.

-------------------------------------------------

" BREAKING NEWS. LOCAL CANADIAN HAS DECIDED TO ONCE AGAIN TALK BAD ABOUT AN INCREDIBLY CUTE CHARACTER! IF YOU HAVE SEEN THIS INDIVIDUAL REPORT THEM TO THE DEPARTMENT OF WHOGIVESAFUCK AND TURN THEM IN IMMEDIATELY. THIS PERSON WAS LAST SEEN ROBBING A STARBUCKS, WHICH YOU'D THINK WOULD BE A BIGGER CRIME, BUT HEY, WE ALL KNOW WHAT TAKES PRIORITY! "

Oh what a lovely day. I haven't slept all night, and I have ammonia or something. Lovely. What a perfect time to talk about a fictional character. Look, if it's any comfort to the fan girls who come across this, part 2 will have me being more of a fan than a critic. Just bare with me for this, and if worse comes to worse, blame Pika.

-----------------------

As per usual, let's get started with some criticism I don't agree with.

Addison looks like a girl

Alright, first of all, don't read my stories. Second, maybe this is because I live in Canada where the need for equality is pounded into your head every other hour, but...yeah? Dudes can look girly. Have you never seen a girly guy before? If so, how? Now, I'm aware that some people have an issue with this because Addi is gay, and girly gays are a common trope when gays are presented in media. While yes, this is true, Addi being a sort of trope isn't necessarily a bad thing. A trope-y character can still be written well and be entertaining. Besides, it's been said that all original ideas have been done before, so good luck trying to ever find a 100% original character anywhere.

-----------------------------

That's about all, but before I tear this character limb from limb, I'd like to go over things I DO like about this character.

He was ok in chapter 3

Yeah, he had problems there too, like when he just stood around and had little to no reaction to his bff turning into a mini cuthulu, but those are not problems exclusive to Addi. He didn't stand out much, per say, but what we got wasn't terrible. His banter with others was fine and even funny at some points.

He has a character motivation

Yeah, his goal to find love is a boring one, but unlike some of our other important characters, he actually has one.

He might be more interesting in the future

Addison is basically an artificial life form created by Xirxene, and not only is Xirxen after him, if Vivz still goes with this concept in the reboot, he apparently has mad sword skills yo, a dark side called Adder, and can summon two giant ass snakes. If that concept is still going to be used, then hell yeah, I'm down for that shit

----------------------------

Now the moment we've been waiting for. What do I have against Addi? Why do I find him annoying as a critic of zp? Grab a cup of maple syrup, because this'll be a doozy. I'll order my issues from least bothersome to the most.

His relationship with Gustav

Ok, I think we can all agree that this relationship was poorly done. While I myself have no problems with this pairing, the way Vivz had them come together was shit. Gustav looks like a pedo creep hitting on a student, and Addi looks like an idiot as he just lets Gustav insult one of his friends. Their relationship is hasty, and the only apparent attraction they have for each other is their looks (and Addi looking like a 12 year old doesn't really help Gustav's pedo case. Don't worry, any concerned readers, there isn't any pedophilia going on. Addi has apparently been aged up to 17, and Gustav is 19)

Just to clarify, hasty relationships in stories aren't in themselves a bad thing. This could serve as a reflection on both the characters. Perhaps they fall in love easily. Perhaps their just the type of people who'd do these sorts of things. The problem here is that Addi is the only one of the two who seems like he'd do this. It's stated by Dame (who could be hyperbolising here for all we know ) that Addi throws himself at guys very often. Gustav, however, doesn't seem to have anything about him that'd suggest he'd be down for dating someone he just met.

You know how this relationship could be fixed? Gustav is 19, so he would've graduated only a year or so ago. So, have him and Addi be old friends who hung out before Gustav graduated. Perhaps have them have an attraction to each other that was initially waved off by Gustav at first, but now he's back, he might be interested now. Also, have them be attracted to each other for more then just looks. Perhaps they respect each other's talents, perhaps they have similar interests. That'd make their relationship a little more believable.

His personality

You know, in all my time spent in the zp fan base, I've noticed that the majority of Addi fans like him because he's cute. Not because of his personality. Just because he's cute. I mean, I don't entirely blame them for focusing on his appearance more because his personality. .....woof.

Zoophobiacomic.com describes his personality as the following;

" Addison likes to keep to himself and spends most of his time working in the Art Wing. While he doesn’t often open up to others and can sometimes hide away an air of elitism, he has developed a close friendship with his classmates Damian and Sahara. Their outward energy and enthusiasm has begun to counteract Addison’s typically introverted nature"

So he's shy, and a bit of an elitist, and he's slowly becoming more self confident. Ok.....now let's look at what the comic itself presents us. For one thing, he's surprising sassy, especially in ch3, not just to Dame, but to Leeson the crazy priest as well. He's also surprisingly self centered. Look at how he reacts to Dame being a shit to other people compared to how he reacts to Dame being a shit to him. Orchestrating an event that gets your cousin set on fire? That's ok. Preventing Addi from going on a date? That bastard! He doesn't even seem to care when Gustav insults one of his best friends. He also doesn't show any regret about attacking Mackenzie. Him having these traits aren't a problem, but this raises a bit of a concern for me since I don't think this is the impression we're supposed to get from his character.

His dumbass decisions

Yes Addison, go off on a date with some sexy random dude when there's an entire organization after you and you have no way of defending yourself. 10/10. 100/100. A+. Gold Star, Gud Job, Perfect Logic, Go buy a colouring book you infant!

His PTSD

Let me get one thing strsight (so at least one thing in this post isn't gay af), I don't have an issue with him having PTSD. My problem is how it's handled. The story acts like Addi attacking Mackenzie is just peachy keen because it was triggered by his ptsd. Except guess what? It isn't.

I'm going to be honest, I (someone with more then one handicap) hate it when those with disabilities are treated like babies, and The world must conform to their needs, and nothing is their fault because mashed potatoes. Look, a handicap can affect how you live your life, but it doesn't mean you get a free ticket to easy street. If anything, your life gets harder. And guess what? People babying you and pretending that your disability prevents you from any fault DOESN'T HELP. IT MAKES YOU WORSE. I'll use one of my own handicaps as an example. I have Auditory Processing Disorder. One symptom is that I can't hear myself, do I often talk incredibly loudly without realising it. Now imagine I went through life always yelling because no one told me to take it down a peg. Soon, yelling would become a habit, and it'd be a much harder problem to fix.

You guys starting to realize why other characters acting like Addi did nothing wrong bothers me? That's not how you react when someone with a disability does something like Addi does. It also makes me concerned that the comic will continue down the route of "oh, he has a disorder, so he's not really at fault ", excusing various bad things Addi does on his PTSD.

--------------------

So now I've typed out enough words to rewrite the American constitution, I'll end it here. Thank you for reading, and tell me what you think. If you'd like to see me critique another character like this, feel free to request it.

I apologize for wasting your time.

-ATOUN

Planting the seeds of a new future - Kenna x Raydan fanfic

Summary: One of Kenna and Raydan’s first actions as reigning King and Queen is planting... An apple orchard.

Author’s note: For the first day of #Choices Appreciation Week, I decided to write a TCATF fanfic.

And yes, this is a hint-hint-wink-wink to TRR.

I also want to point out that this fanfic takes place somewhere in my tcatf’s timelife, so there are hints to Cornelius loyalty, as well as the fact that in the beginning of their journey, there are still some doubts towards Raydan being Kenna’s husband. Don’t worry though, rest assured this fanfic is full of fluff! (Visit my masterlist to read all about Kenna x Raydan stories and journeys.)

The crown and the Flame is one of the best books Choices ever created, to this day. Honestly, I’ve never seen/read anything as amazing as that book. Props to them! Thank you Pixelberry for making that amazing piece of art, and for continuing making incredible stories ❤️

(And props to @vevillia for coming up with this wonderful idea for Choice’s anniversary!)

Tagging: @writtenbycandy @mariamatsuo @liam-rhys @asprankle @endlessflame @dandeservestheworld @regina-and-happiness And an anon who requested Kenna and Raydan fluff a while ago 😅 Comment on this post to let me know if you wanna be tagged as well.

“Your first actions will be the one of the most important decision of your regain.” One of Kenna’s advisers repeated over and over.

Kenna had changed a few rules, since becoming queen again. It’s not like this decision was her very first worry after the war ended.

It was, however, first public event since the wedding, and it would definitely set the tone and attitude towards their subjects.

“We know.” Kenna reminded her adviser, raising one eyebrow at him. There was no need to remind her that over and over.

“Of course, your majesty.” He got the hint and bowed, leaving her with her thoughts.

Raydan was sent to Abanthus earlier that week, to make sure Adder, Diavolos and Zenobia were adjusting well to their new settlement.

Kenna couldn’t imagine it’d be an easy task to make sure they all got along, considering all of them were persistent people who had now to co-govern one of the strongest kingdoms around.

But as far as his hawk had said, he’d been quite successful.

Before everyone scattered, Kenna had helped make the decision of making all three of them the rulers of Abanthus, so they might have taken that into consideration when adjusting to their new roles.

She was glad Raydan didn’t face much difficulties and even more glad he was going to be back home soon, but couldn’t wait any longer to see him.

He was her husband. God, sometimes that thought didn’t sound real.

The sheer happiness it brought to her was out of this world.

The war was over, most of her friends were still alive. They were entering a new era, and she was married to the love of her life.

Her life turned out on the bright side.

And making that decision - what their first public action should be, would be much easier with Raydan by her side.

Not only that she needed her husband, to ease her mind and help sort out her thoughts, he was also her King, with equal rights and importance of word.

Honestly? Raydan had been her adviser for almost the course of the entire war, so his word meant a lot to her as it was.

“Where are you?” She rhetorically asked the thin air, walking towards the window of the grand hall.

He should be home soon, but never soon enough.

Should they go the traditional way? Make a huge speech and hold a party? A parade?

Should they go for a walk throughout Stormholt’s streets, greet their people?

Should they open the Palace’s doors for a couple of weeks, invite the people of the kingdom to voice out their thoughts and recommendations?

All of those seemed like good ideas. But none of them sounded like the right one.

“My queen.” A voice behind Kenna’s back sent shivers down her spine. She sensed his presence immediately, and leaned backwards to press her back to Raydan’s firm chest.

“Raydan,” She breathed out, taking in his scent.

“I’ve missed you too,” He whispered into her ear, nibbling at it just a little.

Kenna was sure glad they were alone in the corridor, since the sound that escaped her mouth wasn’t exactly ladylike.

Raydan chuckled lowly before finally turning her to face him. Kenna’s cheeks were just a shade deeper than usual and she didn’t waste any time to plant her lips over his.

They kissed passionately, like newlywed husband and wife usually did, especially if they had to spend their first days together apart from each other.

When they finally broke apart, they were both grinning widely at each other.

“Your majesty, King Raydan has returned from his journey to Abanthus-- Oh.” A newly hired servant boy has cut both of their line of thought, entering and announcing what Kenna had already knew.

He looked embarrassed to interrupt them, and even more embarrassed when he noticed how they were still in each other’s embrace.

His face turned red, and Kenna and Raydan shared a look, before bursting into a long, delighted laugh.

“It’s alright. I know.” She said, motioning with her head towards Raydan.

“Of course.” The color started returning to the boy’s head.

“I’ll try to be more efficient next time.” He promised, before hurrying away.

Kenna and Raydan stared at each other, sharing one last chuckle.

“Come,” She took him by his hand. “We have work to do.”

And Raydan followed her, without question. They walked together, side by side until they reached the throne room.

Kenna hated to lay it on him like that, when he’d just arrived back from another mission, but they didn’t have much choice.

The longer they delayed it, the more the people would question their motives. And her advisers didn’t seem pleased either.

Kenna could make a public appearance herself, while Raydan was away on his mission, but she chose to delay it deliberately.

The public, and her advisers, were still unsure in her choice of marriage. Appearing without Raydan, would only amplify that.

She wanted to show them what she already knew, and make sure it was obvious her choice was sincere and final.

“So, what do you think?” Kenna presented the issue at hand.

“I have an idea.” The sides of Raydan lips curled just a bit upwards. A bit secretive, playful even.

“What is it?” She was glad. Her smile beamed at him as she asked. “Tell me.” She encouraged.

“I’d rather show you.” Raydan stood up, offering her an arm.

“Well...” She wondered where this might lead, but she trusted Raydan completely. So she took ahold of his hand and rose to her feet as well. “Lead the way.”

Raydan lead her outside, to the hills overlooking and surrounding Stormholt.

The fields they happened to spend a few stolen moments in, and a few blissful nights.

“Well?” She raised an eyebrow. That place held significance to both of them, but she didn’t really understand how it was related to the question she’d presented him with.

“Look at this place.” Raydan’s expression fell. “The side effects of war is still very vivid in this place,” He pointed to one place that was ruined and burned down in particular.

“And there are countless fields like that one on the way, throughout the country.” Raydan explained. He’d seen them on his way, obviously.

“I suggest we make that our first public event. Invite everyone to re-plant the kingdom with us. It will be a unifying gesture but also would help the farmers and the people of the kingdom. If they’ll have to do it alone, it’ll take them years to repair the damage the war has brought upon them. But if everyone plant even just one tree it’ll-”

“It’s perfect.” Kenna didn’t even let him finish.

Raydan looked back at her, seeing sparkles in her eyes.

“Everything I’ve thought of... Wasn’t personal enough. It wasn’t really helpful to the community, who’s recovering from a years-long war. Planting the trees will not only actually help our people, it’ll also show that we’re looking onto the future, since it’ll take years for those trees to grow to the sizes and heights they once stood, but we’re ready to take care of them, just like we’re ready to take care of our people and our kingdom. Your idea... Is perfect, Raydan. Thank you.” She leaned her head over his shoulder, overlooking the ruined fields.

Soon, those fields would be replaced with new ones, and one day - in the future - They’ll stand stronger and prettier than they ever stood.

“I merely suggested an idea, you took it to new places I haven’t even though of,” Raydan kissed her temple, not taking all the credit to himself.

Kenna giggled, a warm feeling filling her chest.

He made sure it was a decision they’ve made together, and it was all that mattered to her in that moment.

“C’mon. We need to find Cornelius.” She told Raydan, after spending a few more delightful moments imagining their future.

“Cornelius?” Raydan asked, looking back into the palace.

“He’s the new head of our advisers. He’d been nagging me all week about finding a suitable public appearance.” She explained, already heading hand in hand back to their castle.

“Let’s not keep him waiting any longer, than.” Raydan nodded, and Kenna smiled.

“Let’s.”

After talking it over with all of her advisers, everyone agreed unanimously that idea was wonderful.

Even those advisers, like Cornelius, who were reluctant about her choice to marry Raydan - had to agree it was a marvelous act.

She did, however, made it clear her choice was final, and anyone who’d show any open complaint towards it wasn’t welcome in her palace.

A massage was sent to the public with a messenger, announcing the event and setting a date. It seemed to be welcomed with open arms, and the streets of Stormholt were buzzing with activity, preparing for their first public event with their new King and Queen.

“Ready?” Kenna squeezed Raydan’s hand. They were standing in front Stormholt’s gates. People of the kingdom were passing by, greeting them and bowing happily.

Everyone seemed at peace, and the smiles never fell from their faces.

Kenna and Raydan greeted the passerby, answering enthusiastically all of their questions.

“Ready.” He nodded, and they excused themselves, making their way towards one of the fields.

The soil was processed, and many of the kingdoms subjects were already down there.

But no one dared to start the planting ceremony without their rulers.

“What are we planting?” Kenna asked, when one her servants hurried after them, carrying a small tree in his hands for them to plant.

“Apples, my queen.” Raydan answered.

It was a decision they left for their advisers, this time, which fruit to plant. They took into consideration the status of the soil, Stormholt’s climate, and a few other things, and Kenna was happy for once to let someone else make the decisions.

“They can symbolizes many things. Love, wisdom, joy, fortune. Maybe even the gods themselves.” Raydan explained.

“Whatever it symbolizes, I hope from this day forward it’ll also symbolize our union, and promise to a thriving future. Both to ourselves and to our future.” Kenna said, determinedly.

“With someone as fierce and miraculous as yourself, I’m sure it will.” Raydan noted.

They reached the spot in the ground, digging just a little hole.

The servant presented them their apple tree, and Raydan and Kenna crouched down, holding the plant together.

Kenna made a beautiful, yet short speech and they lowered the plant together, while the public cheered all around them.

filling the rest of the hole with soil, the patted the ground and stood back up. Raydan offered Kenna his hand, and she took it - Raising their intertwined hands into the air, and waving with their free hands to their people.

Another wave of cheering sprung through the air, before everyone else copied them, planting small apple trees all through the orchard.

Kenna looked over to Raydan, an meaningful look in her eyes.

“The seeds we planted today will take time to grow. But they’ll grow along with us and our kingdom, and I hope it’ll inspire them thrive, I hope it’ll touch all the hearts we can’t reach today, and all of their offspring as well.” Kenna announced loud enough for everyone to hear. They nodded and praised her for her wisdom.

Somehow she always knew exactly the right words to say, and Raydan raised her hand to his lips.

They were in public, after all.

“I couldn’t have said it better myself.” He planted a kiss to the back of the palm of her hand, and the people of the kingdom seemed pleased with his answer.

This was a good start to a better future. But they had many journeys yet to come.

This was just the beginning.
