excuse me? hello? tumblr user glowingbadger? you can’t just leave us with the image of a vampire hubie/ferdie sandwich and then vanish!!! oh! jail for badger for One Thousand Years!!!

Lmaooooo okokok I won't leave y'all high and dry on that one, cause I do so love the idea. I'll throw out some of my thoughts, because Ferdie x Reader x Hubie + vampire fuckery is just too good to leave alone.

This ended up as one of those like... half-headcanons, half-fic kind of things lmao I dunno man. Also apparently I write both of these two as much more blatantly horny as vampires than I do with their canon characters looool. When I write either of these two normally, it's Repression City.

I'm also shocked at how like... horny but not actually smutty this turned out lmao but still labeling as spicy-ish to be safe.

Vampire!Ferdinand & Hubert x GN Reader

NSFW-ish headcanons

- now that you've discovered the true nature of the two most influential men in the empire, you're certainly not going to be allowed to roam free. Hubert's first instinct is to dispose of you- and even he is capable of acknowledging in the darker corners of his mind that he'd savor the feeling of you collapsing into his arms as he drains every drop of your sweet, precious blood. But Ferdinand, ever the more genteel of the two, insists that you could merely be kept within sight instead. Happy, safe, cared for- but very much under their watchful eyes.

- while Hubert initially scoffs at the idea of keeping a "human pet," as he says, he does eventually acquiesce. And for a time, things are tense, but stable enough and sometimes even pleasant. Ferdinand checks in on you often, his expression one of genuine concern when he asks if there's anything that could be done to make you more comfortable. He's gentlemanly as can be, and it's not hard to find yourself looking forward to the time he takes to chat with you. Eventually, he'll even take you for walks through the manor grounds, offering you his arm and leading you through corridors lined with stunning art pieces, and at night, the immaculately kept gardens. It's worryingly easy to forget that he's every bit as much your captor as the frigid and terrifying Lord Vestra.

- it's not long before Hubert's patience with this whole charade begins to wear. Late one night, you overhear him confronting Ferdinand, "You can perform the gallant noble all you like, but do not think for an instant that you have fooled me as well. No amount of play-acting will conceal the fact that you long for that human's blood. You ache for it. It's agonizing, isn't it? Tell me- how long will you last before you buckle under the temptation, and sink your fangs into that lovely neck?" When you dare to glimpse into the room, you see Ferdinand unable to deny Hubert's words, refusing to meet his cutting gaze. Your heart pounds heavy in your chest, but the exact emotions are too tangled and complex to sort. For now, you retreat to your quarters, hoping that neither of the two noticed your presence.

- in the end, it's an ordinary moment of weakness that causes Ferdinand to break; sure, he hasn't been feeding much lately, and you'd made the mistake of coming to see him as the sun began to rise and his appetite had been strained through the night. He's paler than usual, a bit shaky, and your sweet concern, that earnest expression on your face- it's too much to bear. He pulls you to him, trembling but still easily several times stronger than you. His body is cold, but his breath is hot at your throat as he begs for you to stop him, to tell him you don't want his monstrous desires. Yet the moment you tell him he doesn't have to hold back, you feel the sting of those fangs piercing your skin. His hair spills down your shoulder and he's panting, practically moaning in ecstasy as he drinks from you- and it's hard for you not to do the same.

- from then, you and Ferdinand have a complicated arrangement- the veneer of propriety remains, but now you recognize his hunger when it piques, and despite all reason, you continue to find yourself in his arms with his fingers digging down your back and his teeth at your throat. And while you try to keep these clandestine meetings discrete, Hubert knows. He catches your scents mingling on one another's bodies. He notices the healthier flush of Ferdinand's skin. While his true feelings about the matter may be deeper and more complex than he lets on, what he offers you is amused condescension.

- Once Hubert knows that you've been giving yourself to Ferdinand, he takes to calling you "dear little human" or even "pet" more often than your name. It's clear he looks down on you for allowing yourself to be "used" in this way- or at the very least, he wants you to believe that he does. It's not until you finally confront him one night, insisting that you're not afraid of him, that you don't deserve this mockery, that something in his expression changes. "You don't fear me, is that it?" He nears like a great bird of prey, looming over you far too close for comfort, "A pity, that. Here I thought you had some miniscule reserve of good sense. But that cannot be the case, as it seems you aim to provoke me..." Still you stand your ground, and as if to call your bluff, he sweeps an arm around your middle and pulls you to him, trapping you against his taller frame and teasing you with the graze of his fangs at your neck.

- somehow, you remain firm, you don't show your fear, your own thoughts renouncing the trembling of your suddenly-weak knees. And when those sharpened canines pierce into you at last, spreading pain and orgasmic pleasure through you, it's only Hubert's supernatural vampiric strength that keeps you upright. He's firmer with you than Ferdinand, ever in control. His long fingers in your hair direct your head to the side, granting better access to the tender skin of your neck. When you whimper at his ear, he doesn't pause or check in with you- if anything, he drinks more vigorously from you, his hand slowly wandering up your arched spine. Yet for all of this, he's never truly rough or aggressive with you in the slightest.

- the first time Ferdinand catches Hubert's scent on you, he's incensed. He storms into Hubert's quarters, "Why you craven, wretched-- what did you do to Y/N?! I demand an answer for this flagrant violation-" to which his friend merely responds with a cruel smirk and a reminder that Ferdinand himself had sampled you first. Did he really think that their adventurous little human would be satisfied with only one of them? With some time to calm Ferdinand's nerves, he becomes surprisingly receptive to Hubert's suggestion that, in the interest of taking proper responsibility and care for you, perhaps they ought to investigate any other... Desires of yours that they could tend to. You have been so generous towards them both, after all.

Scarlet Blaze Liveblog: Chapter 6

So I was actually gonna make myself a PB&J sandwich before this and both the peanut butter and the jelly were hella expired. Feels like an omen.

As per usual spoilers are under the cut. And in Tumblr woes, turns out my tag bundles plugin for Xkit doesn't work for the beta post editor anymore, which means I had to just remember the tags I use for this thing. Super lame. I swear it was working last time, but they've definitely updated the post editor since then so I guess that messed it up again.

Explore Stuff

I know I said I was going to try and remain positive but like… Weird call to have Petra be like… protective… of the guy who murdered her dad… That was certainly… a choice

Ashe is literally here because Dimitri told him to prioritize his life over his loyalty JFC Dimitri you are too sweet for this world. Also Ashe is angsty because he doesn’t know what he’s fighting for now. Interesting

Dorothea… we “helped Ashe see the error of his ways”?????

I’m really starting to dislike her. I actually really didn’t mind her in Houses but between her endless bellyaching as a recruit and this line, and I’m starting to dislike her

Wait, Manuela was in charge of the deer at some point in this timeline???

This makes her “I must protect my precious students uwu” bullshit from AG even more bullshit. You had! Classes! Other than the Eagles! What about THOSE students!

More Insurrection stuff. I guess we now have confirmation that the insurrection happened as a direct result of Ionius wiping out Hrym

“Sorry, did you just threaten to make an effort?” lmaooooooo RIP to Lin

“Psst! You may be aware of this already, but the Bert can be cruel”

*looks back at all my interactions with Hubert*

Don’t know what gave you that impression, Hapi

“Count Glucester prizes his people above all, and we created a situation where he wanted to fight.” I mean. Yeah. We’re like. Trying to conquer his homeland. People uh, people don’t tend to like that very much… Doesn’t usually lead to a lot of great outcomes for the people you conquer.

Apparently I just randomly learned how to make Peach Sorbet??? Not sure what triggered that, but ok

My god my switch HATES this game it’s running like a freaking airplane

I find it hilarious that Edelgard is apparently bad at running a street stall but Hubert is okay at it lmao

I guess threatening murder would encourage people to buy more

I’m about to go grab an ice pack from the fridge and hold it on the back of this thing. This is ridiculous. I JUST cleaned the fans, it can't be the dust! I literally played like 40 straight hours of FOMT and it was fine!

Ferdie Expedition. Let’s go for a lovely mountain date.

Don’t get to stare at his face :(

Weird how much of an Empire fanboy he’s become in this timeline, considering he’s like… yo fuck the Empire in canon

Oh my god you can “restore” weapons you’ve fully forged and it literally just… takes away all your upgrades for no benefit???? WHY???? Luckily I saved the game before it stole my TWENTY FUCKING AREADBHAR FORGES JFC

Like ok my best guess is that it’s so you can reset after you upgrade the forge, since I believe after a few upgrades then forging your weapons will give you more durability and might per forge, but it’s not retroactive? But like? This is just mechanically stupid. Honestly. Just make it retroactive or don’t vary the amount you gain for forging??? What a fucking slap in the face to fully forge a weapon (which takes dozens if not HUNDREDS of rare resources) only to be told “lol go fuck yourself actually redo it”

YOU DON’T EVEN GET THE UMBRAL STEEL YOU WASTED ON FORGING BACK!

Support Conversations

Hubert/Linhardt C - Wait Lin and Hubert are talking about how interesting Shez’s powers are??? Didn’t Lin have like? An entire fucking support where he was like “your powers are not interesting to me”???

“My method of ‘hooking’ would complicate our relationship with so valued an ally” Hubert is a murderer lol

“Why don’t you try sweet talking with tea instead” pretty sure that’s Ferdie’s MO

Why. Why does this feel like Edelshade. “The only option left is aggressive persuasion, driven home at the point of an axe, let’s say” … hmmm who is the ONLY eagle to canonically have a preference for axes…

Hubert is even like “who are you talking about how dare you” and Lin is like “haha oh no one does this bug you? I bet it bugs you.”

AND THAT’S THEIR ONLY SUPPORT LMFAO

Linhardt/Ferdie C - Lin: “I’m not drawing I’m just drawing” o…kay?

Linhardt can draw apparently

Lin: It’s important to be accurate when doing research, not artistic. Ferdie: *confused Ferdie noises*

Why do I get the sense that Lin is sick of the BE’s shit

I find it weird that he only has C supports with both Hubert AND Ferdie?

Dorothea/Monica C - Anyone else get the vibe that someone on the dev team realized Dorothea’s JP VA could sing so they crammed a bunch of random singing in? I do. I get that vibe

Why is the nobility fighting over tickets to see an opera. Seems like the kind of thing nobility should be able to get into super easy while the pleb masses fight for tickets in the nosebleeds

“A lot happened and now I’m here” wait Dorothea has motivation to be here aside from just “went to school with Edelgard for a month”??? Are we ever gonna???? Talk about what that is, or???

Shez/Bernadetta B - Oh my eardrums are already broken it’s only the first textbox

Anna is a drug dealer lmao

Shez/Ferdie B - Ferdie is horrifically depressed, got it. That explains a lot

Side note, I find it very interesting that Ashe doesn’t have supports with ANY of the BE, despite being recruitable. Lorenz at least had supports with Annette, Raphael had supports with Ashe and Felix, Ignatz could talk to Sylvain and Annette, and Marianne could talk to Ingrid. Bernie gets to talk to Dimitri, Petra gets to talk to Dedue, and Dorothea gets to talk to Flayn as well. Only Lin can’t talk to any of the BL exclusive characters.

Side-side note, but I kind of want to count which student has the fewest support conversations. Linhardt strikes me as having not that many compared to the BL or the other BE. Four of his support lines only have one conversation, and two of those terminate at C support.

Side Battles

I’m pretty sure the explore points are exactly the same as AG. Lame

Dorothea: “It fills my heart to see my friends do such great things” you mean. Murder. Like. The murder we’re doing right now? Alright…

Oh Leonie is here I guess

MOMMY JUDITH!!!

So I know now that Judith is not playable, which is bullshit. Clearly she’s got a fully rigged and animated model if she can appear like an enemy like this. How hard was it to just make her playable???

Main Chapter Battle

I’m rewarding myself with popcorn after this, to make up for the PB&J disappointment

“The fewer casualties the better” know what results in the least casualties? Not… not starting a war. That really keeps the war casualties down

“When in doubt, take ‘em out!” oh Caspar, you lovable himbo

Oh look Balthus, Ignatz, and Lorenz are our recruits this time

Balthus is still dead to me for not having a support convo with Dimitri. The gay subtext was right there, ripe for the taking… At least he had a line fantasizing about a sweaty grapple between Holst and Dimitri that one time

Oh my god how many hints are you going to give me to go do that side mission

AND IT DIDN’T EVEN MATTER BECAUSE I DIDN’T DO IT FAST ENOUGH ASDFGHJKL

Ignatz: I will fight you until the end!!!

Yeah about that… *Yoink*

So what does the auto battle button do

I mean I’m not going to test it but does that mean I wouldn’t have to play this game anymore?

That sounded really pessimistic. But ok look, I’m not using the merc whistles even though this is NG+ because a horrible little gremlin part of me wants to S rank all the battles ever. This game has way too many side missions.

Petra: Stealing is evil!!!

Also Petra: Canonically prefers the thief class in this game

Someone on this team wasn’t thinking when they wrote that one, huh lmao

Edelgard: Count Gloucester was on our side once! He might surrender!

Did you??? Did you miss the WHOLE part of this chapter where that was a trick to catch you off guard??? Why the fuck would he surrender now??? When he intentionally tricked you before by pretending to side with you just to fuck you over???

I mean he’s going to because of course he is, but if anyone in the deer had an actual spine or coherent adherence to past plot events or motivation, then he definitely wouldn’t!

Yep I was right. Why do none of the deer have a spine lol it’s actually getting kind of comical

After Battle Stuff

What is with this Daddy Gloucester whitewashing. That guy was one heck of a bastard in the original Houses, but between this and Lorenz’s paralogue they’re just like “look at how awesome and wonderful and totally not responsible for anything bad ever he is” <3 and I am not here for it

I guess they took all of his evil and gave it to Rufus

Oh I got Thrysus. I didn’t get Thrysus in AG. Bullshiiiiiiiiiiit

Guessing it’s because Lorenz is the head of his house now in this route. But still.

Apparently Lorenz and Lorenz Daddy are just too valuable to replace and Shez has dialogue options about that for some reason

RETORT SARCASTICALLY!!! GET EM SHEZ

Hubert liked that lmao

“Oh right. I forgot that only mercs are replaceable” FUCKING GET ‘EM SHEZ

Wow Edelgard is real pissy about that

“That’s just the way of things in Fodlan! but I intend to change this” Ah, yes, you’re doing a great job of changing that by… doing nothing about it right now and treating mercs as replaceable. Truly a 4D chess strategy Edelgard

I’m 100% convinced that the Alliance has only held together this long because they faced absolutely 0 threat from anything ever. Like honestly we’ve been at war for fifteen seconds and the entire power structure of this place has completely fallen apart

I mean really it’s actually pathetic. They’re like those fainting goats

https://youtu.be/_JF0Jys5ITc?t=10

^The Alliance literally the second any external threat that isn’t Almyra occurs^

Seriously, how long have these guys been a country? Like 300 years right? You’re telling me they’re literally older than America and in that time they have developed exactly zero sense of national pride or ownership for their lands, and most of them are just completely cool going along with whatever the Empire does to them? Just like? “Yeah, conquer me daddy~ My lands are fertile and my people are (variably) willing participants ;)”

I’m just saying this is like the dead fish equivalent of international relations. Just lie back and let Adrestia do whatever they want to you, I guess

EVEN THE DEER WHO ARE LEFT ARE LIKE “yeah we’re here but if this goes bad we’re out lol”

Except Hilda. Hilda is cool

EVEN ORDELIA??? “Yeah, the Empire experimented on my children and basically condemned my only surviving daughter to die, but like we’d be cool siding with them I guess” like excuse me what???

Like I know everyone has a spine made out of jelly in 3H but at least there everyone had a jelly spine so it didn’t stick out so much

It’s a weird contrast from the BL who are (almost) all like “YOU CAN HAVE MY HOME OVER MY COLD DEAD FUCKING BODY!”

AKA the normal human response when you’ve been an independent nation for several centuries and an external power comes in and says “mine ;)”

And the only two Lions to defect are the two who have zero responsibility over people or land, and one of which apparently only surrendered because Dimitri told him not to die for him. The other one is Mercedes who I haven’t gotten yet but presumably it’s about her serial killer brother this time. Oh and neither of them have any family in the Kingdom to protect (since Jeritza is in the Empire and Lonato defected to the Empire like the little traitor bitch he is)

Ok this liveblog got real shady for a second, I’m putting the umbrellas down now

Wait Byleth is here too??? I thought Byleth was in the Kingdom????????????????? How did you get here?????

“Remaining in the Kingdom was no longer an option???” Why???

OH WE JUST AREN’T GOING TO BE EXPLAINING THAT ONE I GUESS

I’m guessing it has something to do with Jeralt’s unexplained and unaddressed Rhea issues. Not sure why that would be though, considering Rhea NEVER FUCKING DOES ANYTHING IN THIS GAME

Fortalices and palisades… gonna have to google that one later, Hubert

Ok so it’s a baby fort and a fence. Dunno why we had to get all fancy here

I’m sure there’s already at least one Medieval history buff in my inbox going WELL ACKSHUALLY about that last bullet lmao

I also didn’t make popcorn because it’s like 4 am and I’m too lazy to melt butter :(

My Favorite Restaurants - Mother's, New Orleans

My Favorite Restaurants – Mother’s, New Orleans

New Orleans is chock full of superb dining establishments. However, my favorite one, the one I always go to whenever I have the good fortune to visit the Crescent City is Mother’s Restaurant. Mother’s claims it serves the “World’s Best Baked Ham.” I have to agree. However, I am a sucker for dipped, hot sandwiches. I nearly always go for their Ferdi Special. As you can see from the picture on the…

Sure! This Twinkie is a sweet bread with sweet cream inside. The Hot Dog is made from pigs, and the cheese is Brie. I know how you nobles like your fancy cheeses! Oh, and before I forget... *dips the sandwich in milk* There! Now it’s ready for consumption! Open up, Ferdie~

. . .I see. That is quite a. . .peculiar combination.

On second thought, I must politely decline. This Twinkie, hot dog, and cheese you speak of sound good when eaten separately, but not so much when put together.

could you do head cannons of sylvain/ferdinand rivalry? or like actually ferdinand finds a rival in sylvain while sylvain might take it seriously and treat ferdinand as a little brother of sorts (platonic please

OOF DEFINITELY. i leaned more towards the second one, if that’s ok!

Sylvain loves messing with Ferdinand. It’s one of his favourite pastimes!

Ever since their duel in the lance tournament, Ferdinand had sought out Sylvain as worthy rival to spar with. However, Sylvain doesn’t take him seriously at first, and ends up mostly making fun of him.

He affectionately calls him Ferdie. Ferdie hates it.

“Hey, Ferdie!” “Do not call me that.” “Aw, why not, Ferdie? I think it’s cute - ouch, no need to throw that at me-!”

Lots of arms slung around shoulders (with Sylvain doing the arm-slinging. Ferdinand tries to shrug him off immediately, to no avail.)

Ferdinand’s trying to study? Sylvain waltzes in, plops into the opposite chair, and props his feet up on the table, grinning.

Ferdinand comes back to his rooms? Sylvain is rummaging underneath his bed: "I swear I left my sandwich here…”

(How does he get into Ferdinand’s room without the key? Who knows. Probably Ashe.)

Whilst sparring, Sylvain throws around a lot of jokes and taunts.

“Oh, would you look at that? I think your lance nicked me - ah, wait, no it didn’t! Seems like you’ll have to try a little harder, Ferdie!”

“Why, you-”

It annoys Ferdinand so much, but it does teach him how to keep his cool during a battle. (Which was definitely not Sylvain’s intention. Not at all.)

Whenever Byleth pairs up Ferdinand and Sylvain in the choir, Ferdinand always sings beautifully. However, next to him, Sylvain’s singing like a cat with its tail getting stepped on.

(When Ferdinand rounds on him, ready to strangle a bitch, Sylvain swears up and down that it’s his normal singing voice. It’s not his fault he’s tone-deaf!)

Sylvain steals his food, all the time. He does it to everyone else, too, but with Ferdinand he actually gets a huge reaction, so it’s far more fun.

The others called them the twins once, until Ferdie got affronted and walked off without a word.

Sylvain caught him later and grovelled for his forgiveness. (Ferdinand pretended not to forgive him for days, just to mess with him.)

Everyone at the monastery find the stark contrast between them hilarious.

However, once Sylvain sees Ferdinand actually striving to meet his goals with the utmost dedication, he starts to take him more seriously.

He calls out tips when they spar, and he offers him advice whenever he’s feeling glum.

This change throws Ferdinand off. Where did the joker Sylvain go? The one who constantly lamented to him about girl trouble, and occupied his room half the time, just because it was closer to the dining hall?

Ferdinand brings this up when they next see each other. Sylvain’s silent for a while, before he breaks out into a grin.

“You’re like a little brother to me! Why wouldn’t I look out for you?”

(with a sad smile, but Ferdinand doesn’t see that, because he’s too busy focusing on his words.)

Ferdinand splutters. “Little? I’ll have you know that I am older than you-!”

They become quite good friends after that particular conversation. Of course, the rivalry’s still there (Ferdinand wouldn’t have it any other way), but they clearly look out for each other when they need to.

One of the things that has made generations of English aristocrats fall in Love with Sicily over the centuries is the mutual passion for eccentrics.

I don’t mean subtle characters, like one of my beloved uncles whose favourite food was broad bean and custard sandwiches. I mean flamboyant filthy rich people who could construct a mechanised dining table spanning three storeys of their palace, so that plates of food, ready-filled glasses of wine and – a bit more salt, wench! – could appear on the table apparently by magic.

This madcap dining experience, in Palermo’s Palazzina Cinese or “Little Chinese Palace”, was the delight of King Ferdinand III of Sicily. If you are looking for things to do in Sicily, put this at the top of your list.

I think it was inevitable that he was never going to be a standard sort of bloke, for not only was he King Ferdinand III but was also King Ferdinand I and King Ferdinand IV as well. Allow me to make this even more confusing by explaining that he was the king of not one Sicily, but two.

Fair enough, you deserve a real explanation. The second “Sicily” in those days was Naples and the surrounding area. He was the third Ferdinand there, whereas in the original, real Sicily they had already had more Ferdinands, and he was the fourth one. One fine day he realised this was getting ridiculous and just decided that he was “King of two Sicilies” and since no other Ferdinand had ever been king of this unified geographic region, he was Ferdinand I.

Anyway, now that you have met Ferdinand, let’s join him for dinner.

Here’s the table.

Notice the coloured strings dangling off the edges? He and his queen would yank on those to indicate to the servants below what they wanted. There were various colour-combinations which could indicate anything from “we’re ready for the cannoli now” to “Load me up with some more spaghetti and octopus in red wine sauce if you please.”

The dedicated team of servants down below were in this room here, paying close attention to twitching strings.

From this scary and tall room, one went down an inconveniently narrow and twisty staircase into the kitchen below to request and fetch the required delicacies, place them on the appropriate platform for the appropriate person, and then several strong men would hoist on ropes to make the plate pop up upon the table in front of the relevant royal.

All this, without a word being spoken and with never a serving wench rearing her low-class face in the royal dining hall.

I have mused for probably more time that I should admit upon why this was created. Did the royal couple engage in such fascinating conversations that they could not face interrupting themselves for something as banal as requests for more Parmesan cheese? Perhaps the simple fact was that the German-speaking queen never learned Italian?

Or was it the opposite, that they hated each other so much they refused to speak to each other and even to other people in each other’s presence? This seems a little more plausible, since the Queen, who was Carolina of Austria, had her bedrooms on the third floor of the palace whilst the King slept as far away from her as was physically possible on the ground floor in a bedroom via – this bit is interesting – the Turkish baths where it was obligatory to get naked before entering. One can play this game all day but the fact remains, they were jolly eccentric.

They lived in style, though. Here’s the queen’s bedroom and private chambers.

Did you notice the many portraits she had painted on the walls? They were all her children, of whom she had a small army. They are variously labelled My Love, Beloved Joy, My Salvation, and a portrait of herself labelled, appropriately, Myself.

One of the pictures has the face obliterated in plain white and is poignantly labelled My Hope. This was one of her sons who was horribly injured in a riding accident and later died.

Meanwhile, two storeys away, here we have his majesty’s royal bedchamber on the ground floor:

Evidently designed with seduction in mind, this dreamy gauze paradise adjoins a bath chamber in solid white marble designed for bathing in company.

Not too much company though.

It’s a comfortable size for two people, either or both of whom may wish to swing their limbs around freely.

It’s interesting to look upon this and note that, despite having children with his queen numbering in double digits, King Ferdinand the 1st, 3rd or 4th, whichever you prefer, also kept an uncountable string of mistresses as well as throngs of somewhat more transient lovers. I did wonder at one point if the magical dining table was designed by the queen to keep the serving maids safe. Indeed, so prolific and shameless was Randy King Ferdy that he named the park and garden surrounding the Palazzina Cinese after one of his mistresses, his favourite one in fact, whom he imaginatively nicknamed “The Favourite One” or La Favorita.

When looking at his portrait, I am reminded of the classic phrase,

“So tell me miss, what was it that first attracted you to billionaire King Ferdinand?”

I think it may be safe to say these ladies were more attracted by his money than his appearance. When one sees his palace, it is clear he had plenty of cash. The entire ground floor of the palace is lavishly embellished with al fresco murals, some Chinese, some Turkish inspired, some Arabic including Arabic script… essentially, anything eastern was fair material for this Orientally themed palace.

Meanwhile on the subterranean floor, hidden away near the kitchen, is a mural designed to simulate a damp-ruined grotto with once-glorious murals. The big marks on these walls are not damage at all. A close inspection shows they were painted that way.

The Palazzina Cinese is certainly a must-see in central Palermo.

For donkeys’ years it was closed to the public. Hubby remembers being taken on a school trip to visit the garden of the Favourite Mistress, which was the only part open back then. Here he is setting off through the park, and extravagant use of land indeed inside a crowded city.

Indeed the palace remained closed to the public while I was living in Sicily, too. Only very recently has it become accessible to the public again. So if you are in Palermo, take your chance to get the eccentric Sicilian vibe and explore this truly beautiful monument to extravagance with a slight hint of nutty!

Inspired by the document; Project Walrider Patient Status Report of Eddie Gluskin AU story; Troy and Etta Gluskin only exist in Eddie’s lucid dream state. None of this is real, just some fan speculation as to what went on in Eddie Gluskin’s head during his time as a human test subject for the horrible Walrider experiment.

Three variant AUs introduced here; Frank Manera (thanks for the save, ladyofcrimson) and The twins (I know I draw a lot of Eddie, but the twins are by far my favorite Outlast characters XD. There is no rhyme or reason for why I gave them the names Bradley and Ferdie. That’s just what I call them in my head.

It’s so cute and Sad Troy’s idea of a friend is someone who hands him a really tasty sandwich XD.

Dine-Out Meals of December 2023, Ranked

I ranked the following based on taste alone. I made no consideration for ambiance or the general dining experience or whatever. I included meals I got to go. I included food trucks, catered meals, and fast food.

Overall, a mediocre month.

Once again, some insight into the “roots,” so to speak, of The Banana Splits’ “Dear Drooper” segment, alias Capt. Billy’s Whiz Bang’s “Questions and Answers” lampoon from their September 1921 issue--to wit:

Dear Cap--Are we not all descendants of the monkey? . No, we are not. My folks came from Wales. *** Dear Skipper--Can you tell me why a black cow gives white milk that makes yellow butter?--Helen Bach For the same reason that blackberries are red when they are green. ***: Dear Captain Bill--What do you think of a man who throws a girl a kiss?-lma Blower. I think he's the laziest man in the world. *** Dear Farmer Bill--How do' you keep milk from souring?--Reggie Leave it in the cow. *** Dear Cap--Why' is: it that professors claim touch to be the most delicate of all the senses?--Hook M. Cowe WeIl, here's why: when you sit. on a pin you can't see it, you can't hear it, you can't taste it--but it is there. *** Dear Captain--What is a button?--Holly Woode A small event that always comes off, *** Dear Capt. Billy--The waiters in our city of Brainerd have just organized a union and wish you would kindly suggest some sort of a yell to hand the cooks when they raise the dlickens with us.--Tillie Olson. My feeble effort: Grape nut, Grape nut, Malta vita force. Keep your trap closed. Well, of course. We want oysters, Bah! Rah! Rah! Nabisco wafers Bah!! *** Dear Capt. Billy--I am about to organize a nice little club for thirsty people. What motto should our organization adopt?--Sipper Jin. How about this one: "If you don't see what you want, ask for it." *** Dear Captain Billy--What were the two most. popular ballads of the American doughboy in France?--Mona Long. Before the armistice it was "I Want to Go Home." Afterwards it was "If You Want to Go Home, Just Let Them Alone." *** Dear Captain Billy--My father is a motorman, and my mother is a conductorette. What am I ?-Enter Tainem. A transfer. *** Dear Cap'n--What is a Pomeranian Whiff Sniff?--Willack Fulish. A Pomeranian Whiff Sniff is a species of small wooly dog with the curious habit of trying to climb telegraph poles, hind feet first. *** Dear Captain--Being as you are an etiquette expert, I would like to ask if it is a gentleman's duty to approach a young lady and tell her that her eyebrow is on crooked and that she has a speck of soot on her right ankle?--lnquisitive Andy. A gentleman is not supposed to notice the details of a lady's attire. He is supposed to be in a state of rapturous admiration of the tout ensemble. *** Captain Billy--Is a sallow, pale skin always affected by weak people?--I. M. Payle. Dear Payle-Not always! I knaw a chap that was very dark, but he found a pair of dice and right from then he began to fade, and fade and fade. *** Dear Skipper Bill--Why is a ship always called "She"?--M. T. Beane. Probably because the rigging costs more than the hull. *** Dear Farmer Bill--What is the best way to make both ends meet?--Lady de Barbour. Learn to be a contortionist. *** Dear Captain Billy--What, in your opinion, does love most resemble?--Georgette. A roast beef sandwich. Two thin slices of sentiment and the rest filled in with bull. *** Dear Captain. Billiam--What kind of hand does a card sharper win with?-Pokker Feene. An I-deal hand. *** Dear Cap--Why are eggs much smaller. now than in the past?--Lee Way. I suppose it's because they're taken out of the nest too soon *** Dear Capt. Billy--A story in a New York paper says a dancer has insured her legs for $125,000. What's the idea?-Lew D. Fiske. We don't know definitely, Lew. *** Dear Skipper Bill--What war material did Chili export to the Allies during the war?--Clara Voyant. Beans. *** Dear Bill--If you're a good little astronomer I know you'll tell me what star was recently measured. and found to be of enormous size?--May Triatit. Fatty Arbuckle, I guess. *** Dear Captain Willy--A waiter in the Waldorf Flaskoria spilled hot soup down my neck, and when I remonstrated with him, the horrid old thing only snapped his fingers at me. Have you any words to describe such creature?--Ferdie Nann. I would say that he is too soupercillious. *** Dear Farmer Bill--Why is it you farmers always dress your scarecrows in men's clothing?--Sack Kitt. Well, if we dressed therri in women's clothes there'd be sure to be some old birds hanging around.

So I still trust you like these ... or do you not, even if these are nearly a century old (meaning, in the minds of some of you, that such must be stale and dated)?
