#bela’s humble opinions

[ctitan98official]

Alcina is flustered by a tall and muscular Y/N part 4

Read part 3 here! Let’s get into it!

The bee situation was totally humiliating (Thank you, Dani).

Fortunately, the Lady of the castle’s regeneration instantly healed up all of the stings caused by your freak out. Plus, none of the other servants got stung. That’s definitely a win. You would have felt horrible otherwise. Alcina made them hide in the servant’s quarters until everything was safe.

The girls got stung, but… They are taking a longer time to heal than their mother for some reason… Bees are stronger than flies, apparently.

Honestly, you only feel guilty about letting Bela get stung. Dani and Cass deserved it in your humble opinion.

You and the Dimitrescu daughters are currently getting medicine and ointment put on your bee stings… By Alcina.

“Ow, fuck!” Cass curses as Alcina dabs some medicine on her.

“Cassandra.” Alcina warns her daughter.

“Sorry.” Cass pouts before she thinks about something. “I wish we turned into bees! They have built-in swords!”

“And they look way cooler than flies!” Dani chimes in.

“Heh, and they have the fattest of asses. That’s an attractive quality.” You blurt out. Smooth Y/N. Right in front of Alcina…

The girls immediately burst out laughing, but Alcina’s cheeks flame in response to your comment.

“I-I mean! I’m not insinuating that anybody should try to clap those cheeks or anything! They’re bugs, you know? I just like fat asses! But, like, on people! People only!” You say, trying not to be weird… Mission… NOT accomplished.

Dani is laughing so hard that she falls off of Alcina’s bed. Poor Bela is trying to conceal her laughter so as not to upset Alcina… And Cass is just making things worse.

“Well, not to dunk on bees or anything, but I think I have a juicier ass.” Cass brags.

You and the girls collectively lose your minds over this. You can’t help the laughter that bursts from your lips.

“CASSANDRA!” Alcina roars… But… Her heart flutters gently as she looks at the joy on your face. Hearing you laugh is now one of her favorite sounds… She finds that she desperately wants to be the cause of it. You deserve to be happy.

Whereas normally she would scold Cassandra more for her inappropriate jokes… Alcina can’t help but be thankful to her daughter for introducing her to your giggles. She sighs as she hopelessly simps over you. “Alright, Cassandra. You’re fixed up, my darling.” She says.

Cass shoots up, happy to be able to move around again. “Thank you, mother!” She says.

Now Alcina’s heart is racing. She’s medicated all of her daughters, but… Now it’s time for her to help you. She hopes she doesn’t look like a complete fool. “Y/N, come here. It’s your turn.” Alcina says with a blush.

Your cheeks burn intensely. Damn it. Now, you’re going to probably screw things up with Alcina even more because of your crush. At least the girls are here to keep things from getting awkward.

“Well, we’ll be heading on out now!” Dani calls and swarms out of the room with her sisters not far behind.

Traitors. You should have known they would do that.

As the girls leave, now it is just you and Alcina. You try not to stare at her beautiful face, but… She’s all you want to look at anymore.

“Umm… Take your shirt off, Y/N.” Alcina says… And realizes how bad that just sounded. “I-I m-mean so I can put the medicine on! For the bee stings!” She says.

Your mouth goes dry. You like the idea of her telling you to take your shirt off. “O-o-okay.” You stammer. You had ripped it off earlier when the bee attack was happening, but once you were safe, you had slipped it back on, not wanting to look like a ruffian. You pull your shirt off again and Alcina’s eyes widen as she really takes in the site of your muscular body.

Those rippling abdominal muscles, your strong and toned arms… Alcina is literally drooling.

“Uhh… Is this okay?” You ask, feeling nervous as Alcina is silent for a moment.

Alcina snaps out of her trance and shakes her head. “Yes! Yes, that’s perfect.” She says.

You sit down in front of her and Alcina gets a handful of ointment to put on you. She feels a spark of arousal as she touches your warm skin… She can’t help the soft whine that she makes. You’re so gorgeous.

The sound Alcina makes sends a bolt of desire right through you. Oh yeah… You want to be able to get your Lady to make that sound again.

As Alcina works, flustered and totally embarrassed, you think back to what Dani and Cass said. They implied that Alcina was interested in you. Should you… Just shoot your shot and see what happens? You hate yourself for thinking it, but if there’s even a chance Alcina will reciprocate how you feel, you’re going to take it. That’s a ballsy move, Y/N… And yet, your impulse gets the better of you.

You suddenly turn yourself around to stare into Alcina’s eyes.

Alcina goes rigid as she sees you looking at her. “Is something wrong, Y/N?” She asks, hoping she doesn’t have something on her face.

You silently begin to lean forward, curious what she will do. Alcina, to your surprise, begins to move forward as well. You close the distance and press your lips against hers. You kiss her.

Oh, shit… There’s no going back now, dumbass.

[coarsely]

humble and fear for anyone who's on ur mind w the oc asks :D

HUMBLE. - How does your character handle praise?

So technically I've already answered this, however I'm gonna answer it again but with different characters! Potentate Clymene is a little more used to praise than Louis, as she is the Potentate most in the public eye. Many people compliment her on her poise, her intelligence, her socialable nature, and she is always agreeable and polite to them, having a lot of responsibility on her shoulders as a representative for the family, but also a representative for women in general in Bronze Eden, which is a heavily misogynistic society, and she is the first Potentate to be a woman in charge of the sciences. Generally, she doesn't let both compliments and insults get to her that much, as she can't rely on what other people think of her to survive. Sylvester Praeceptor will just laugh and dismiss you, as rather like Clymene he can't let other people's opinions shape him. Perhaps, long ago, he sought to make his father proud of him and tried to earn his love and praise, but that was long ago, and he has since accepted that won't happen, and he's made a life for himself he's pretty darn proud of. He's generally quite confident, so he handles it well. Imperator V lives on praise. This is largely due to the way the Imperators are raised in Bronze Eden; to be entirely dependent on the priests that live with them, to ensure they are loyal no matter what. Because of this, they are trained to always be aware of their mortal failings, to seek out sin in not just themselves, but in others, and to destory it by any means necessary. This has led to essentially all Imperators being desperate to be told they are good enough, holy enough, clean enough for the priests who raise and teach them. Bela doesn't give a shit for the most part. In certain situations and from certain people, it can mean a lot, but for the most part xe isn't someone who seeks or wants it very much. Xe is almost hypercompetent at hir job, and knows it, so being humiluated and insulted is something xe seek a lot more, and is fairly open about this much to everyone elses chagrin.

FEAR. - What are your characters biggest fears?

Potentate Clymene's biggest fear is being like her mother or her father. Both would be a terrible fate, but in different ways. Being like her mother would mean placing expectations on children to be far more mature and willing to take on massive secrets they aren't meant to handle, and being like her father would mean being cruel, abusive, callous and distant while expecting to be loved and admired. She overcompensates for these fears by rarely telling people things she doesn't think they can handle, and by being as kind and as sociable as possible. Sylvester Praeceptor fears falling into poverty again, and having his homosexuality discovered. Sylvester remembers when his family lost everything due to his father, and Frederick & William, and has worked exceedingly hard to bring his family name back into wealth and power, and the thought of losing so much again is what drives him to keep studying, to keep learning. The homosexuality thing is fairly easy to explain; in Bronze Eden it is punishable by imprisonment or exile, and would also likely place his family in dire poverty again. Imperator V's fears are centered around not being pure enough, like most Imperators. His status is entirely dependent on his percieved holiness, so the thought of being made a sinner is horrifying. To be a fallen Imperator is worse than death to most of them, and V is no exception. Imperator V also fears that because he is nonverbal, he might not be enough to enter the Empyre like every other Imperator; most people see him as being stupid or having the mind of a child because of it, which has led him to having a severe complex about it. He often has nightmares of meeting the Empyrean, and being rejected for being unable to greet It with words of praise and prayer. Bela is scared of vacuum cleaners.

The Dimi girls as gamers

(In my humble opinion)

Bela wouldn’t really game in my opinion, but when she does she’s into more solo games with good story lines and amazing levels

Cassandra would be so freaking competitive. Playing multiplayer? Cursing out gate keepers and 12 year olds while completely carrying her team. Playing solo? Beating all the challenges and playing the game to completion.

Daniela would be an uwu gamer girl. 😂 has a twitch and games solely for the views. She loves the attention and getting to interact with viewers more than the actual gaming although she too can get competitive, especially when playing with Cassandra.

[valleynix]

More information on the signs/ how I think they suit the sisters:

Cancer main personality traits: loyal, protective, intuitive, sensitive, and caring.

I mean…does that not describe Bela to a T? Her emotional side is kept mostly to herself, while her protective and loyal side is more at the forefront. The way she interacts with the maids shows more of her caring and intuitive side. Meaning that if someone has done something wrong, she pretty much just intuitively knows. But she’s caring and treats them fairly well

More traits include: Nurturing (she takes care of her sisters), self-protective (hence why she tends to hide her emotions, she doesn’t want to get hurt by being vulnerable), as well as security-offering (she has an aura about her that makes people around her feel safe)

Sagittarius main personality traits: honest, direct, passionate, outspoken, and self-assured

Again….pretty suitable to Cass’s personality (in my humble opinion) she is VERY direct in her approach to “hunting” her victims, and she shows this by telling them exactly what she plans to do with them. She doesn’t evade the topic of death as much as her sisters(ie.there’s no flirting or teasing. Rather just…threatening). She’s passionate in that she would do anything to protect her family/the castle. She makes it very clear that there’s no tolerance for anything even slightly perceived as a threat to her family’s safety. She’s pretty outspoken, as shown by her chattiness when it comes to killing her victims. For example, she says things like “taken alive, dead, which would you prefer?” But then almost immediately moves on to say something else before they can respond. (The “let me string you up and slice your jugular” line or something). And lastly, she shows her self assured-ness by the way she moves with all the confidence that her method of killing will work. She clearly knows what she’s doing, and she clearly knows that it has always worked in her favour. (The self-assured trait can be assigned strictly to her work, as her general posture ie; keeping her head down, the way she keeps her flies covering her most of the time, tells a different story about her confidence in other areas of her life)

Some additional traits: Impulsive, impatient, and unforgiving. ….need I explain more?

Gemini main personality traits: quick-witted, charming, inquisitive (can be perceived as nosiness), scattered, and unpredictable

OHHHH YES. THATS MY DANI. YUPPERONI.

She’s definitely witty, i can’t name a specific instance from in-game that would prove this, but I CAN imagine her being witty with her sisters (mostly Cass), anyways… she’s charming and it’s proven by the way she flirts with her victims (and probably the maids, regularly), as for the inquisitive trait, I again, cannot name a specific instance in-game for an example, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t fit. I can imagine her asking lots of questions and just being curious in general. With everyone. She loves to learn new things about people and just seems to know everyone on a personal level. AH got distracted. Um. Okay. She shows her overall scattered-ness in her attacks. She doesn’t have one particular way of killing/injuring her victims. The only consistent part of her attacks is the flirtatiousness she exhibits. She tends to copy her sisters and mothers mannerisms (adorable) and sprinkles in some of her own here and there, which contributes to the scattered manor of her personality. She’s generally very unpredictable. She could be flirting with you one second, and have her sickle flying towards you the next.

Additional traits: child-like whimsy (she lives in her own little world and is a tad delulu), deceptiveness (seems harmful and not very intimidating but you better watch your back bc that can change in an instant and it’s horrifying)

That’s all! (I say as if I didn’t just write a whole essay…)

These are mostly just my personal opinions/ideas of their personalities and my general knowledge of the signs mentioned. For anyone reading this: please dont be mean to me :(

OUGH THE WAY YOU JUST DESCRIBED ALL OF THEM PERFECTLY??? HOLY SHIT

i am a firm believer in all of these simply because of how much is suits each one. like… it’s kind of difficult to get specific instances when they were barely shown in-game, but taking what we know and expanding on it seems to fit them PERFECTLY with these descriptions. Bela is typically such a mystery to me (which is probably part of her wanting to keep her emotional side in check and not show it often) but the way you described her???? oh my god

AND MY BABY CASS… god i loved reading that. she keeps herself more hidden than her sisters with her flies and i always thought that was a little strange, but i fully believe she’s not as confident in her looks/appearance as they are (bc like… while she’s not “conventionally” attractive, she’s still fine as hell) but then she also doesn’t quite seem to care?? so maybe she just puts on this front that she doesn’t care what people think of her or what she looks like, but deeper down, maybe it bothers her a little?? IDK ACK

AND DANI… MY LOVE… please she is so so sweet but also SO dangerous and i LOVE HER. i think a lot of her flirtatiousness with her victims comes from the fact she reads a lot of romances/wants to be in one, while also having very sadistic tendencies. i HATE when people mischaracterize her as this immature child who cannot function without someone because it’s just not true!! she’s a little delusional and can get lost in her own world, but she’s very capable and is an ADULT. she’s smart like her sisters, perhaps without the killing confidence? she probably has all the appearance confidence tho LMAO

ANYWAYS idk if any of that made sense but i loved reading your essay because it just DOES make sense with their characters. it seems very… them?? like i could see each trait in them and how it connected to what we see in-game and how others have expanded upon that. your honor i love them and i love this little essay sm <333

#asks #AAAAA #i will talk about them all day every day #i’m insane that’s why

[cleverclove]

I cannot believe I have to say this but here goes:

White tumblr users, YOUR FRIENDS OF COLOR ON HERE ARE NOT YOUR PERSONAL ASSISTANTS.

We are NOT here purely to educate you. We are NOT here just to give feedback on your OCs. We are NOT here to show how “progressive” you are because “you got feedback from a real life person of color.” We aren’t your Siri for culture.

And if that happens? You apologize. No white guilt, no excuses, no blaming it on environment or whatever because we don’t want to hear it. Apologize and do better.

POC are not a monolith. Black people are not here for your OC’s angsty backstory. Latinos are not here for you to make a subversive story. Asians are not here so you can put a bit of their culture into your OC. And treating your friends of color, tumblr or real-life, like they exist just for your amusement is dehumanizing and infuriating. You do not get brownie points for an OC if you don’t treat real POC right.

If you get consensual input to make an authentic character and story, then good for you, I guess. But we are human beings as much as you are. We don’t just exist in paper. We have real problems and real pains and real struggles. If you can’t see that? Don’t bother at all because we don’t need to be written by someone who obviously doesn’t care about anything but a good sob story.

✨ POC feel free to add your thoughts. White people are encouraged to reblog but please don’t add any unnecessary comments. ✨

#salt #bela’s humble opinions #bc i had to block a long term mutual for this and yall? just please remember we’re people behind the screen. please. #I’m so tired. I’m sorry.

Sooooo, what about a child who’s a vessel from hollow knight and they have a shy and nervous personality about the outside and how would they react to the 4 lords? (Or maybe get adopted)

Not very familiar with the actual lore of Hollow Knight, so I looked up a little bit of what it was. Still confused, I'm trying.

Hollow Knight Vessel and the Four Lords

Alcina Dimitrescu

"What a ghastly little thing."

Where the first words you heard from Lady Dimitrescu

You looked at your feet... or nubs

This woman was mean...

She bent down to get a better look at you

"What, pray tell, is your business here?"

A plume of smoke hitting your face

Coughing and waving the smoke away, you still didn't look up

"I... i..." You where lost

"Hummm." She straightened up

Bela spoke up, "can we keep it, Mother?"

The Lady looked down at you, then plucked you up by the nape of your neck

Gently she held you, inspecting you with a black eye

"It will stay here... and not be harmed."

You sore you saw some empathy in her eyes

Her tone said otherwise, though

She put you on her shoulder

This started a trend, you always on her shoulder

You even went to meetings with her, due to your quiet nature, she forgot you were there

You didn't mind though, it was nice for the large lady to keep you around

Alcina understood your body language, to her surprise

And you were comforted by her large stature

Despite her strict and ferocious disposition, you knew she had adopted you as her own

Angie and Donna Beneviento

Donna found you in the garden

You were shivering and almost unconscious

She wrapped you up in her dress, trying to warm you

Angie watched over you as you recovered, making sure you kept warm

It was several days before you came to

When you did, you were met with "Hey! What are you!?"

Shocked and scared, backing away into the corner of the wall

You shook with fear, nearly crying

Donna gently pulled you to her side

Comforting you, which worked, and you looked at the woman and doll

"Again. I ask, what are you? Your not a doll... or a human..." Angie mused, looking you over

You just pushed your head into Donna's side again

"Angie. Leave them alone." Donna whimpered, not wanting to upset you further

"Im... im lost..." You murmured

It was true, you were hit with a bright light and found yourself in this frozen land

Afraid and tired, you collapsed in the garden

Donna and Angie cared for you, which gave you a little bit of trust in them

For the following months, the pair kept you in and around the estate

Not letting you out of their sight, and tending to your needs

Comfortable with the two, you rarely left their side

Angie, being the most rambunctious of the pair, kept you entertained

And Donna, though quiet, made you feel safe and protected

Your shy nature, intrigued them

It was your silence that made them keep you

It was nice

And you appreciated being around them

Salvatore Moreau

You ran, at first

Moreau spotted you hopping from rock to rock

When he called out to you, you rushed away

He followed

Squeezing into the smallest crevice you could find you, nearly, escaped his grasp

"C-come out... little thing... I shall not harm you." He promised

You cautiously stepped out, him stepping back to look at you

You looked up at him, and he down at you

"Curious little thing..." he mumbled

You looked up, as he spoke

"H-hello..."

He was surprised that you didn't run away from him, or scream

He leaned down, offering his hand to you

You obliged by stepping on to it

He lifted you up to his eye level

Studying you for a moment

"Are you alright?"

You nodded your response

"Not hurt?" He looked you over once again

You let him, seeing as that he wasn't harming you

"I... im... I dont..." You struggled to say

He gently hushed you, soothing you a little bit

He took you to his reservoir, into his humble abode

He made you a small bed on his table

And gently sat you on your temporary home

"Hungry?" He offered you an odd looking pie

Which you gratefully took, digging in

It didn't look delicious, but it was quite yummy!

And it satisfied your hunger

This started a new friendship

Moreau enjoying your comfortable silence

And you enjoying his ramblings about his family and his experiments

Eventually you got brave enough to ask him about helping

Which he joyfully accepted

You started to be come his apprentice

To your delight you liked

Karl Heisenberg

Karl made a face at you

Had he made you?

Naw... he wouldn't make something so... small...

You were itty-bitty..

You looked at him, fear in your round eyes

A giant, (to you) with a GIANT hammer!

He sighed, throwing his cigar to the side, he bent down, kneeling infront of you

"Look, kid... thing... whatever you are, I aint gonna hurt you." He spoke, as softly as he could

You shuffled away from him as he did so

Karl knew he was intimidating, but not THAT intimidating, the giant bitch was more so, in his opinion

"You wanna come with me? You could get trampled by the lycans out here." He waved his hand to the surroundings

You looked around, not saying anything but nodding at him

Taking that as an ok, he plucked you up, by the small cape your wore around your shoulders

Then placed you in his shoulder, due to him really not wanting to carry you

He took you back to the Factory, right into his quarters

You felt safe next to the man, seeing as how you saw some of the monsters around the place

"And you can stay here, while you figure yourself out." He pointed at a small box, that had some rags he had gathered together

You cautiously touched the rags, then buried yourself in them

It wasn't home, but it was comfortable

You murmured your thanks as you fell asleep

This continued for a few days

Him coming and going, and you looking around the room he left you in

Eventually you got a bit bolder, crawling into his pockets and staying there as he walked around

He forgot your presence, and lit a cigar

Causing you to cough, to which he promptly put it out

"Sorry, kid."

Like Alcina, he would bring you to the "family" meetings

And due to being in his pocket, you were easily hidden

You practically became his kid

And seeing as he called you such, it fit

The day the earth stood still pt.2/3

Author’s Notes: Striking a deal with an Eldritch being has never been so easy

 Bela was numb.

Kneeling by the foyer of the house, she stared at the crystal remains in front of her. The whole house was in disarray, dolls once lovingly caressed now lay broken on the floor. Angie, Donna's favorite doll and pseudo-self was missing as well. Bela wanted to stand and investigate to see what had happened to cause all this devastation, but the thought of leaving Donna alone even for a second grounds her in place.

'She was alone' Bela thought, she was alone even in death. Poor Donna Beneviento the mysterious doll maker, in life and in death alone in every sense.

"It must have been hard for you, you couldn't stop him. You must have known that you couldn't stop him, only stall. Stall for a little more time" Bela talks to the crystal remains. Standing up Bela walks around the first floor of the house, she sees the fresh blood smeared on the walls.

'there must have been a chase, Angie's favorite hide and seek' shattered dolls littered the floor, sewing materials scattered on the table, books toppled from their shelf.

Bela stops by the foot of the stairs and looks at the portrait of Donna.

---

  She remembers the time Donna came to the castle for the portrait commission, how she was fidgeting on her seat as her mother sketches. Donna was nervous even with her veil on her head, the fact that someone was looking at her so intensely was making her sweat.

 "Now, now Donna no need to be nervous. It's just us girls here." Alcina tries to calm the nervous woman. "Look even Angie is calm" pointing at the doll Donna is carrying.

 "Relax love, no one will see you here. Even then it's just Cassandra and Daniela, they'd like to see you and Angie later. Daniela will definitely want to play with Angie, and Cassandra would probably ask you about crochet patterns." Bela giggles at Donna's surprised look.

 "Yes Cassandra's trying to learn crochet, when she learned that it involves stabbing things to make something she got this grin and started asking for crochet hooks" Donna giggles the sound so soft that everyone in the room can't help but smile. Alcina gives her daughter a small smile, thankful that she has managed to ease the nervous woman.

 The rest of the day went by, with Cassandra and Daniela later stopping by to chat with the woman.

---

That portrait now hangs by the staircase the most prominent thing you first see inside the house. Donna's soft smile and Angie's grin captured perfectly on canvas. Bela was so lost by the portrait that she didn't hear the door open at first. Quickly sensing that something was different around her she swarms to Donna's side ready to kill anyone that dares disturb her lover's sleep.

Standing by the door is the last person she thought she would see.

"I see you've reunited with Lady Beneviento" The Duke stands by the foyer, leaning forward with the use of a silver walking stick a suitcase by his leg. The very fact that the portly man stands in front of her unnerves Bela, that and she realizes that The Duke towers over her although not as tall as her mother.

She immediately goes on a defensive, her body shielding Donna's crystal remains.

"What are you doing here. There's nothing for you to steal" Bela sounded furious how dare this man come here and barge into Donna's home. Readying her sickle she makes a move towards The Duke.

Sensing the tense atmosphere radiating from the young woman, The Duke lifts his hand in a stopping motion. "Before you continue in this destructive way, may I suggest you listen to my proposal first" The Duke enters the house and sits at the first available seat, Bela follows the man's movement never taking her eyes off him.

"Come and sit Miss Dimitrescu, I find it easier to bargain when both parties are sitting" Bela follows the man near the table but refuses to sit. "I'll stand thank you"

"Very well, now, about my proposal. I have been a proprietor of all kinds of wondrous items, and in my life I have accumulated fantastical and often occult objects that an average man would sell his soul to obtain-" at this The Duke looks at Donna's remains then looks at Bela letting the implication of his words sink in. "Objects that can curse its owner or grant wishes that beyond your wildest dreams."

"And I would like to extend my services to you, Miss Dimitrescu" The Duke finishes. Bela was quiet as she considers the man sitting in front of her.

Was this real? can she really bring Donna back to life. But as she hopes for the miracle presented to her another thought comes into mind.

"What's the price?" at that The Duke's smile broadens. "I always knew you were a smart one, Yes, as with all things in this world there will be a price to pay. Something of equal value for starters"

“Anything” Bela says without hesitation

“Ah but I haven’t even told you what the price is. Will you still be willing to exchange once you know?” The Duke prods Bela looking for any hesitation within the woman's feature and sensing none.

"Very well, I can help you revive Lady Beneviento but the price would be steep. Both of you will have to pay for it, for your part you will have to give up half of your life to sustain her. For Lady Beneviento she would have to give up her memories of you and any lingering feelings along with it. I would guarantee that she would have a new life away from here, a new start." The Duke ends laying down the terms of his proposal.

Bela listens to every word "And your telling me that what you've just proposed is an equal exchange?"

"I did say that it's just for starters, as you are in no position to give me anything of value, I do believe that I'm the one who can determine the terms and conditions of this bargain."

Bela considers the man's word and thinks of what her mother would have done. "If I do agree with what you said" she says carefully, "What proof do you have that Donna would be safe? Why are you helping me?"

"I'm just a humble merchant, I go where I'm needed, and I can't pass up on a good business deal." The Duke said with a sharp glint in his eyes. He almost seems inhuman. "And I can assure you, I don't renege on a deal. Lady Beneviento will be taken care of."

"And what if I want second opinion from mother?" Bela questions

"I'm afraid you can't do that. This deal is between you and me. The moment you walk out that door I will be gone and you're beloved will stay dead."

Bela steels herself and walks towards Donna's remain one more time. Kneeling down and gently placing her hands on the crystalized faced, Bela thought of happier times with her beloved. "I'll make this right Donna, No matter what happens I love you. I want you to find happiness, even if I'm not in the picture."

Standing up Bela faces the merchant. "I agree to your terms, but I want your word and proof that she will be taken care of. That you will bring her outside of this damned village and away from this madness. I want your word Duke."

The portly man stands up and walks towards Bela, extending his hands and offering to seal the deal with a handshake "Well then we have a deal."

Bela accepts the proffered hand and feels herself grow weak, a few more moments and the young woman faints her last thought of was of the smile of the mysterious doll maker.

The Duke nimbly catches the young woman before she hits the floor, surprising considering his rotund body. Carefully placing Bela on the floor, he moves towards his next client "Now Lady Beneviento, I will be taking the Cadou from you and there will still be minimal scaring. Hopefully with your new identity you will forget all the pain this village has caused you." He places a white circular object near Donna's torso near her heart. Like magic the crystalized remains of Donna began to form into her old body, checking if the woman is breathing, seeing as the woman looks to be asleep.

Moving towards the door The Duke retrieves Angie from a suitcase and gently placing the doll near Donna. Satisfied with his work, he moves towards Bela, scooping up the young woman he makes his way towards his carriage. Making his way towards the castle, he spots Lady Dimitrescu at the steps of the castle foyer. The Lady has recovered enough to be able to stand and wait for the return of her daughter.

"Good evening Lady Dimitrescu, I've brought your beloved daughter back. Do not worry she's merely tired, she'll awake in no time" The Duke greets the matriarch of the castle with his usual flair. For Alcina's part she eyes the man wearily sighing "You've done something to them haven't you? I will not ask the details as I know your ways merchant. I just want to know if my daughter will be safe."

"Do not worry madam, she will be fine, as well as the newly revived Lady Beneviento."

"So she did perish, alone. My poor Donna"

"I believe she tried her best to stop Mr. Winters, but alas, the man's willpower to get his daughter back is stronger than anything. I believe you also understand that"

"I do, my daughters are everything to me" Alcina said with a hard edge and finality in her voice.

The Duke carefully opens his carriage and retrieve the sleeping woman, gently giving her over to Alcina. Alcina brings Bela closer to her embrace to ward of the cold. As The Duke makes his way towards his carriage he turns to the Lady of the castle. "I shall now return to house Beneviento to retrieve Lady Beneviento and will get her to an associate of mine that would set up her new life. after that, I do believe we have our own deal to make."

"That we do" a thought crosses over Alcina "Why help us?"

The Duke considers, this wasn't the first time he heard that question and he deals the answers in half truths "There are forces in this world that exist that even science cannot explain, the old Gods have left but few remained and continue to slumber on. Some are sympathetic to human and would grant wishes when asked. I believe that is what happened with your Mother Miranda. My associates and I keep the balance in check." the surroundings behind The Duke starts to get fuzzy and dark, static sounds seem to come from everywhere. and as soon as it starts it ends everything comes back to normal and The Duke is back to his pleasant self. "I hope that answers your question, 'til we meet again my Lady"

Alcina understands that there are some things in the world that should be left alone, this is one of these. "Yes until later then. Thank you" Alcina makes her way back inside the house, nursing Bela near her breast. Cassandra and Daniela greets them by the door, concern in their face.

"Is Bella alright, Mother?" Daniela asked

"She'll be fine my dear, we all are. When this day ends everything will be made clear and the ashes of the damned will scatter in the winds" Alcina answers cryptically as the three women make their way further inside the castle.

Inside the carriage The Duke considers the days event, chuckling to himself 'and the Day isn't even finished yet. There are many more plans to move forward and a struggling parent to help'. His thoughts came to the lovers he just helped, the bargain was just he thought. He just hoped that he had a satisfied customer.

Smiling broadly he hums a long forgotten tune, his thoughts on the sleeping woman he brought back in the castle. If his predictions are right and if Miss Dimitrescu is as smart as he thought she is, then she would be able to find the loophole that was inadvertently placed.

Donna may have lost her memories of Bela as payment, but if they were meant to be together, then Bela can simply find her again.

Better send her an address then just in case. after all he wasn't one to just put everything in one basket, a little push on the right direction should be enough.

   Now dreams run wilds, as lovers find their way        Through the nights, not a care in the world        And over there, over the twinkling of the lights        Harbor lights, say goodnight one more time 

----

Notes: Stay tuned for the thrilling conclusion tomorrow!

(HUMBLE)

Manusia bilang it’s a real life and please stay humble.

my opinion, “didunia yang tidak mengenal belas kasihan, ada beberapa hal yang dapat mengubah manusia yaitu uang, kekuasaan dan kekuatan.”

Please don’t let money changes you.

Sial, jika parametermu sudah mengacu pada uang, maka semuanya akan diukur dari uang. Sehingga garis hidupmu adalah uang. Saat harta berlimpah, merasa paling kuat dan ditambah lagi dengan tingginya jabatan. makaa.... you need to be humble.

“Sama halnya seperti kamu menemukan arti sebuah nama, maka kamu akan menemukan arti sebuah hidup.”

Manusia bilang “low profile, high profit”, merendahkan diri, meningkatkan mutu.

You know what.

Jika kamu belajar rendah hati maka kamu semakin bijak, bukan merasa menjadi lebih baik dari pada orang lain.

Lalu …

Pernahkah kamu bertanya bagaimana berjalan dijalan yang benar?

Pernahkah kamu mencoba menjadi fleksibel dan terbuka dengan sudut pandang orang lain?

Bisakah kamu meningkatkan kerendah hatianmu dibalik performa dunia?

Apa yang coba kamu lindungi dan sombongkan? Terlepas dari apa yang kamu miliki dan masalah yang sedang kamu hadapi sekarang, 

“Please stay humble.”  Sadarlah bahwa tak ada manusia yang tak tergantikan dan tak ada benda yang wajib dimiliki.

salam.

Scary stories to tell in the dark is perfect for the next generation of young beginners of horror

In my humble opinion scary stories to tell in the dark is the perfect movie to get your children or pre-teens into the horror genre. Its jump scares, creepiness is the perfect blend. The story is good and the acting is pretty solid. The fact that it takes place during the 60s of the Vietnam war era is a real trip. Back when the monster craze was on full swing. Stella's room screams monster kid with bela lugosi posters and the old creature from the black lagoon model kit, real nice touch.

It has an urban legends sort of feel. This is definitely the perfect Halloween movie. And a joy for those who grew up with the books. Do yourself a favor and see the film. Take your family, take your kids, and have a grand ol time.

Sam's connection to Rowena is that he feels sorry she was raped by Lucifer and also he'll have to kill her one day. Sam's canon connection to Gabriel is that Gabriel killed Dean 2300 times to teach him a lesson. I fail to see why Sam would want to fuck either of them?

Alright my anonymous friend,

I’m not sure how much of this is a genuine query and how much is you just expressing umbrage, so I’m just going to give you my general thoughts, since when do I ever not take the opportunity to pontificate.

First, I’d like to put it out there that canon is in the eye of the beholder. For example, you wrote in your ask “Sam’s connection to Rowena is that he feels sorry she was raped by Lucifer.” But from my own casual observation I would say there are a significant amount of people who would disagree that it is canon that Rowena was raped by Lucifer. I recognize that the language used in reference to her experience evokes rape in a very purposeful way. However, the facts we are given do not include sexual assault. We know he choked her and then burned her alive, and that he showed her his “true face.” Disregarding the possibility of unreliable narrators and lying characters, that is what is “canon” about her experience. Though Lucifer describes the encounter in a rapey way, he does not say the word rape or use doublespeak or euphemisms for sex. He does not say he forced her to have sex. Many people take that to mean that the rapey subtext her experience is couched in is not adding new facts, but rather coloring the facts we have been explicitly given. It is very common in tv-writing to use subtext to draw parallels between rape and various sci-fi encounters that don’t happen in real life and thus are more difficult to be understood and empathized with if we are not given hints as to what lens to view them through. (e.g., Cas describing possession as a violation etc. this episode.) Thus, both interpretations exist and could be considered canon, or not.

I want to make it clear that I am not saying you are wrong if you are sure that Rowena was raped by Lucifer. All this is just to say, canon is varied. It’s fluid, it has degrees of truth and clarity, and in practice, it is up to interpretation.

I don’t necessarily disagree with your interpretation as described in the ask. But I subscribe to a viewing of the situation that leaves room for a bit more. If you remember, Rowena has been around for three seasons now. Sam’s “connection” to her is much more varied and nuanced than what happened in the last two episodes she was in. While they’ve experienced some deeply emotional conversations lately, it only adds to their history. Even if that was their only positive interaction, it’s not unheard-of to build a sexual relationship on mutual experiences of trauma, sexual or otherwise.

Further, there’s nothing in canon that definitively says or even suggests to me that Sam doesn’t want to sleep with Rowena. As I see it, Sam has some canon history sleeping with or possibly wanting to sleep with women that he knows are dangerous (Ruby, Bela—though that one is left pretty up to interpretation. Lilith—though I recognize that was coercive and confusing and we can talk about this if you’re concerned about viewing such examples as representative of Sam’s sexual desires. I might also put Amy Pond and even Annie Hawkins and Pamela in this category.) All I’m saying is that Sam doesn’t talk about what he likes very much. As Sam-fans we tend to do a lot of extrapolating. Some people take Sam’s disinterest or discomfort to mean that he is demi-sexual. I take it to mean that he could be attracted to anybody or nobody—we don’t know.

But based on my interpretation of canon Sam, I think he could be attracted to Rowena. It’s neither canon nor not canon, but one can find canon to support it: Sam and Rowena’s interactions are often emotionally charged and sometimes their traded insults could be seen as having flirtatious undertones. Yeah Rowena has (canonically) done terrible things. But she has also (canonically) changed a lot since then. They pointed that out explicitly in her last ep. I actually legitimately would not be surprised if Sam has entertained sexy thoughts about Rowena or has found himself recognizing a sexual attraction to her. I do not think he is at a point where he would consider actually going through with it… But it could still be a bit of a blow for him to realize it isn’t likely to be an option if Rowena’s busy boinking Gabe (and really? Gabe over him?).

Just because sam has never said he wants to hit that doesn’t mean he doesn’t. Just because Rowena has killed people doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to sleep with her. They’ve all done things they’re not proud of.

And speaking of, Gabriel has also changed a lot in the TEN YEARS since he did what he did to Sam and Dean as the Trickster. Sam has changed too. And their shared dynamic is now different as well. They’ve been talking to each other about what is forgivable and what isn’t—and I think it is within Sam to forgive Gabe and grow to care for him.

I don’t personally think that Sam wants to have sex with Gabriel, but there’s potential.

Now in the interest of clarity in case anyone wants to argue about what they think I feel on this subject: though I have appreciated the SamGabe interactions this season, I have never shipped sabriel. Mystery spot is one of my favorite episodes and I haven’t forgotten about it. I have always been sort of nonplussed why people ship Sam with someone who did that stuff to him. But the fact is, people DO ship them. This is a very well-known ship. I think most people recognize its crack ship qualities, but regardless, people ship it.

The post this ask is about was jokey and it was geared towards fans—I’m not actually talking to Sam, and on some level, this post is much more about the audience than it is about him. The point is, samwitch and sabriel are two ships that have been gaining traction in fandom lately. People see potential there (wrong or right in your humble opinion). And the momentum for both ships stalled in this episode, and that’s a little disappointing for people who want to see Sam get the chance to explore an active role in his sex life.

Granted, he maybe has more important things to deal with right now.

Estudo bíblico sagrado - Semana 8 - Ensinado por Lon Almeida Ruth é uma das bem conhecidas figuras bíblicas, a mulher que veio de um fundo humilde para um status de grande riqueza. O livro de Rute na Bíblia hebraica tem os elementos de uma história de amor, mas também nos ensina sobre genealogia importante, bem como crença e fidelidade absoluta a Deus. Ruth é considerada bem nos círculos cristãos porque era o antepassado de Jesus através do rei Davi. Rute não era uma israelita. Ela nasceu na terra de Moab e originou-se assim de um fundo pagão. Mas depois que ela conheceu o Deus de Israel, Rute tornou-se um testemunho vivo para ele através da fé. O livro também nos apresenta a Naomi, que mudou seu nome para Mara (isso significa "deprimido") por causa das travestidas que ela viveu. Uma das mais belas passagens da Bíblia (na minha humilde opinião) considera esses dois e é encontrado em Rute 1: 16-17. Ruth disse a Naomi que só a morte os separaria depois que Naomi perdeu toda a família. Esses versos tocam meu coração tanto porque mostra Ruth expressando seu amor para Noemi, quando Naomi nunca se sentiu tão sozinha. Todos poderíamos ser um pouco mais como Ruth. - Pr. Lon Davisson Holy Bible Study - Week 8 - Taught by Lon Almeida Ruth is one of the well-known Biblical figures, the woman who came from a humble background to a status of great wealth. The Book of Ruth in the Hebrew Bible has the elements of a love story, but it also teaches us about important genealogy as well as utter belief and faithfulness to God. Ruth is regarded well in Christian circles because she was the ancestor of Jesus through King David. Ruth was not an Israelite. She was born in the land of Moab and thus originated from a pagan background. But after she came to know the God of Israel, Ruth became a living testimony to Him through faith. The book also introduces us to Naomi, which changed her name to Mara (this means “depressed”) because of the travesties she lived through. One of the most beautiful passages in the Bible (in my humble opinion) regards these two and is found in Ruth 1:16-17. Ruth told Naomi that only death would part them after Naomi had lost her whole family. These verses touches my heart so much because it shows Ruth expressing her love to Naomi when Naomi had never felt so alone. We could all be a little more like Ruth. - Pr.

Os meus olhos estão me enganando ou aquela é Alyssa Ackerman? Ah, sim, ela tem 24 anos, é escritora e estudante de literatura. Estranhamente, se parece muito com Phoebe Tonkin.

“Words are, in my not so humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic, capable of both influencing injury, and remedying it.”

Sendo a segunda filha dos Ackerman, Alyssa cresceu sob a enorme proteção de sua mãe e irmã, porém logo que a matriarca faleceu, ela se viu sem parte da proteção que costumava fazer com que se sentisse segura e isso desencadeou uma profunda insegurança dentro de si. Os abusos constantes que sua irmã recebia do pai para que o resto dos irmãos não fossem atingidos pela fúria somente piorava a situação da garota, que cada vez se encontrava mais perdida em seu próprio mundinho que criara graças a um pedaço de papel e uma caneta. Sua criatividade para escrever inúmeros contos vinha sempre que ouvia os gritos de seu pai, pois era como as palavras escritas no papel a levassem para um outro mundo, onde estava livre do lar abusivo e das inseguranças que lhe assombravam constantemente. Podia ser uma nova pessoa em suas palavras.

No entanto, com a saída da irmã mais velha de casa, as coisas passaram a piorar mais do que ela sequer imaginaria. Não tendo mais a proteção, Alyssa havia se tornado a irmã mais velha na casa dos Ackerman e por isso seu pai dedicava um bom tempo a lhe agredir tanto fisicamente quanto psicologicamente, e o fato de que parecia muito com sua mãe não ajudava na saúde mental do mais velho. Possuía apenas 15 anos quando a irmã fora embora e já estava cansada de tudo o que vivia naquela casa, por isso não pensou duas vezes antes de ir embora quando teve a chance. Morar com os tios e a irmã em Sunport parecia a melhor ideia do mundo para a morena.

Naquela cidade, Lys conseguiu refazer sua vida e colocá-la nos trilhos, decidindo-se por cursar literatura inglesa e escrever suas pequenas histórias que de vez em quando postava em sites da internet. Ela possuía uma vida boa na cidade, melhor até do que esperava quando partira, havia se livrado da timidez e a insegurança com o passar do tempo, à medida que ia se tornando cada vez mais bela. Esse sendo o motivo para que vários homens corressem atrás de si, muito embora ela não desejasse um relacionamento sério, alguns casinhos aqui e ali não eram de todo ruim. Porém fora em um desses casos que sua vida desandara novamente. Ela descobriu estar grávida. E apesar de todas as dificuldades que sabia que iria enfrentar, ela não deixou-se abalar e decidiu que teria sua filha, com ou sem o apoio do pai, visto que Oliver havia sido apenas um caso de uma noite e não possuíam qualquer tipo de ligação… pelo menos não até aquele momento. E quando a bebê que os pais chamaram de Luna nasceu, Alyssa ficou com a guarda enquanto o pai podia ver a filha nos fins de semana, fato que continua até os dias de hoje, aos dois anos de idade da pequena.

Meeting Bella Tarr

Alright so I didn’t like Turin Horse but I had the rare opportunity to meet the man responsible for the film the day after I watched it. I was able to sit and listen to him speak on his work, experience, motive, and execution.  Furthermore, I was able to do some surface research on the content and production prior to our meeting. My perception of both the work and the artist most definitely changed after this experience. I still do not like the film but I appreciate for what it is. I appreciate the process, the mentality, the motive and I appreciate how different the film was from anything I had ever seen. Tarr strives to make films about human existence, to do justice to lives of even the most miserable of people because everyone is beautiful. He was a hard man, an impatient man, a man that took filmmaking more simply at least in his rhetoric than most filmmakers I have met. He rolls with the punches, simplifies the process to action and efficiency, and was humble about his entire “brand” as he called it. He works with three other people, explaining that when the name Bela Tarr comes into discussion, it really means his wife, his co-writer, his composer, and himself all of whom play equal and integral rolls in the films conception and completion.

I will admit to some level of letting my environment and the situation in which I watched The Turnin horse intruding on my opinion of the film. I was tired, overworked, we started an hour late, I was stressed about the assignment, and the last thing I wanted to watch was a two and a half hour art film about a horse and potato farmer in Hungary. It was pretentious and I was bothered by the execution. I’ve seen plenty of pretentious art films I actually enjoyed and honestly if I went back and watched this film in a better setting on a better monitor, with the knowledge and experience I now have, my perception and appreciation of the film may be entirely different. I respect the man, his way of filmmaking, and certainty his outlook on the world.  I appreciate films that raise existential and other philosophical questions in unconventional ways. If this film was one thing it was unconventional. I do not necessarily think it was the best execution for the message/agenda it was trying to convey, but I know and understand why he chose to do it this way.

 Tarr wanted the audience to sit and watch the lives of the two people. He wants us to watch how long everything takes, how miserable people are. And yet he wants also to show the beauty in a crumbling, fleeting world.  The aspect of the film I appreciate most and that interests me on a philosophical and structural level was the de-creation structure – the anti-genesis- story. When all is swallowed by darkness on the sixth day I felt something beyond my frustration. He made me suffer through his film- or maybe Donato and Alex did, but I am better for it.

Also we’re all talking about how Black!Buttercup is a problematic stereotype but can we also??? Include how they cast a Black man (Donald Faison) as the Professor???

Now normally I’d have no problem with this, right…? After all, the Professor was a kind, caring man in the show and surely there isn’t a problem there, right?

WRONG. In the live-action, they made him an abusive butthole! And I cannot emphasize how bad and tone deaf that looks on the creators. Having a black man play the part of a vile, terrible father will only further stereotypes about single black fathers and we need to talk about that too.

TLDR: The “progressive casting” of the show is in fact not progressive and does its Black actors in particular so so dirty.
