I've read soo many isekai lately and and and can you imagine being taehyun princess???????? His favorite princess?? I don't even know if this is gonna be hard hours or soft hours duh😄😄
My mouth is watering hhhhh I want to be a princess soo bad
omg PLS SEND ISEKAI RECS I READ A RLY GOOD ONE AWHILE AGO AND I JUST CANT HHHHH royal au series with txt shall most def be in the worksjddjsjjs
pairing: prince!taehyun x reader
warnings: gagging and a bit of degradation, prince tyun calls reader a slut (did they use that type of language back then??? idek)
a/n: could be gn but readers referred as princess so idk ._.
you weren’t always his favourite princess to be honest. before you was princess mai, heiress and ruler of the east seas, and before her was princess esmé, most beloved lady amongst her people in kingdom of eros, and even before her was princess celeste soon to be ruler of the kosmos realm.
in fact, for as long as youve known prince taehyun, he always had a favourite princess— you being his newest.
“what a fucking slut,” prince taehyun weaves his fingers through your hair, a nice tug around your head makes you gag around his cock. he groans out loud, his eyes meet yours. this time a forceful tug has your eyes flutter shut, a string of gags fill the room. his entire length is too much to bare, tears threaten to fall, your ability to breathe comes difficult.
“Shallow breaths princess,” he reminds, taehyun’s tone is condescending. he loosens his grasp around your head, a harsh tug frees you of your inability to breathe. prince taehyun crouches, his length still bare and hard flush nicely against his taut abdomen. he watches intently the rise and fall of your shoulders as you gain your breath.
a slight upward curl at the ends of his lips, eyes on yours again.
“come on you can do better, you do want to be my favourite princess after all no?”

Fear and hunger headcanons and possible plot for a future fanfic part 2 :p
AGAIN TW JUST IN CASE GORE, SA, VIOLENCE OR DEATH IS MENTIONED
Life outside the dungeon yayyy :D
If you can't remember or didn't read the last part the people in the group are Ragnvaldr, Cahara, The Girl and Moonless.
(Go on and read PART 1 if you didn't)
+The way our group ran at the speed of light outside
+At first the sun hurt their eyes, their vision had to assimilate again that there is not just darkness and light coming from a torch.
+The way back to Rondon was a bit long, maybe stopping and properly resting was 2-3 days walking. (It was an old prison, so I guess it had to be away from the population, and also look at all the things hidden beneath)
+ One of the first things they did was finding a river and trying to get rid of the horrible smell that the dungeon left on them, not only sweat, but rotting blood and dirt and all kinds of strange liquids the monsters might have stained them with.
+ After that Rag hunted a deer and fed them fresh roasted meat that didn't make them question how long that food has been sitting there or if it was going to make them nauseous.
+ Moonless chewed on the leftover bones and was given raw meat too.
+ On the way they discarded all the items that weren't useful anymore. Why would they want a dirty rag? They can get clean ones in the city now.
+ Once they arrived they rented a couple of rooms in an inn with whatever money they had left and proceeded to find merchants, colleccionists and rich people who would pay a lot of money for all those weird coins, jewelry and amulets.
+ Cahara didn't keep any of the treasures he found, just gave Ragnvaldr the Cube of the Depths as "it was stolen from your homeland", but he declined for the moment, just until he had somewhere stable to stay.
+ When Cahara had the money he needed, he went straight to the Red Light District, to the familiar brothel her wife was trapped in. As usual, some girls from other brothels tried to take him inside to "just rest and drink something".
+ Before entering he remebered all the times he snuck through her window just to spend time with her. One time he had to hide in the closet because the Madame made a surprise visit to talk to Celeste.
+ With his hart pounding on his chest, he entered inside, and demanded to talk with the Madame.
+ He just dropped the bag full of silver and golden coins to her feet and just said "I want to buy the freedom of Celeste".
+All the girls present backed away and started murmuring while a couple of them ran upstairs to ssearch for her. The elder lady that owned the place was in shock, as Celeste was one of the most expensive girls she owned.
+ After counting the money, she could only let her free, and gave her a couple of hours to pick up her things before going.
+ Cahara told her to only take what meant something to her and was necessary, as he would buy her all the expensive dresses she wanted.
+ The mercenary left the dungeon without looking back, and so did Celeste with the brothel.
+ After that he introduced her to the Girl, Rag and Moonless. She was shocked at what the story they lived in the dungeons, but it was too much and too long to explain, some things she will find out with time.
+ In Cahara's absence, Rag tried to brush the little girl's hair, but it was too matted, it looked like a bird's nest. Maybe it was never brushed before.
+ Celeste cut her hair quite short, sadly it was too tangled :(
+ The girl was a bit sad, but the woman promised it would grow back in no time and even prettier than before. She also cut Cahara's hair so "it would grow back healthier" and gave Rag a trim too.
+ It's also a way of ending that short but hard era and the begining of their new lives outside misery ;)
+ The (old) mercenary started constructing a mansion not too far from Rondon and, gave his bestie Ragnvaldr a house (with at least 5 giant bedrooms) nearby his mansion-to-be.
+ The three of them came to the conclusion that the girl would stay with Celeste and Cahara, as Rag wanted to become a monster hunter and kind of a mercenary to help other people live better, with the condition that he will drop by and visit them every few days.
+ Moonless came along Rag and he began to train more people to beat the darkness and what hid behind the shadows forming a group and later a clan. (also some of them are survivors from Oldegard's dissaster)
+ The Girl has a colorful bedroom full of plushies and toys and dolls. She became a bit spoiled (Celeste and the baby too), because Cahara gave his new family everything they wanted on the spot.
+ And the most important, she had the warmth and the love of a father and a mother and a baby brother :")
+ Also a great teacher that taught her how to read, history, math... And how to speak too! Both husband and wife had to be patient with that. She grew up to be a beautyful and clever woman.
+ Sadly not everything is good, the (old) mercenary often had nightmares with the dungeon or with Nilvan telling him that he lied, he tricked her, and he will pay for it. He will pay the price of not having a good night sleep in probably for ever. (Not being able to sleep was kind of beneficial in a way, because he could let Celeste sleep and he would take care of the baby)
Part 3?????
Also don't be afraid to tell me if something it's wrong, English is not my first language.

just love the idea of ingo just chilling in sinnoh. trains arent common in sinnoh so hes got nothing to spark more specific memories. sure he vaguely remembers pokecenters but who knows how long those have been around. sometimes he visits akari. someone posts a picture of him on poke facebook and their grandchild who moved to unova is the one to recognize ingo.
love the idea of him visiting Akari because it adds a whole new layer to this. It means that somehow, for a full year Ingo travels between Celestic and Twinleaf Town and somehow in that time, he literally never crosses paths with anyone who could identify him. Barry literally lives next door to Akari, and his dad is a frontier brain but since he doesn't pay attention to other regions he doesn't realize Ingo is the equivalent of one in another region. He's sure strong though!
Akari just tells her mom that she met the guy in Hisui and that he really helped take care of her there! And Johanna is just like ah yes. a time traveler from the past, and somehow it never gets brought up that Ingo *also* mysteriously appeared in Hisui one day. And honestly Ingo's memories of modern technology are murky enough that he sells the idea of being a dude from the past really well.
Ingo is just happy to have someone he knows in this strange new time! Much better than the last time he was yeeted through time and had to start literally from scratch. And everyone in Celestic Town is so very kind to him! He doesn't know what this 'pokebook' Miss Sharon is talking about is, but he is happy to take a photo with her for it. He knows what photos are!
Meanwhile, Emmet gets forwarded a link through the official Gear Station twitter account and just loses his entire mind. He's in Sinnoh? He's been in Sinnoh this entire time?????
(Also the idea of like, the old ladies of Celestic Town just fussing over Ingo's worst Hisui-born habits. Young man, don't slouch like that! You'll ruin your back! You will be taking seconds, and I will have no ifs ands or buts about it, mister! Ingo starts getting eight hours of sleep again bc the woman whose spare room he lives in goes to bed at nine.)

The Spring harvest season soon arrived and luckily, it was a good one. In fact, the crops did so well that Willie had enough for him and Ma and Cousin Celeste's family as well as plenty left over.
For some extra cash, he rented out a stall at the local Friday market to sell the surplus.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
As he tended the stall, he caught sight of the Reverend's daughter, Lillian- he remembered.
He called out "50% off for all beautiful ladies" but like before, she didn't seem to hear. Willie was beginning to get embarrassed, he never had much trouble with attention from women back in Chestnut ridge.
Having sold almost everything, he cleaned up quickly and fed Ma an excuse before going to look for Lillian. He knew once he turned on all his charm, she wouldn't be able to ignore him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He spotted her on a picnic bench nearby and introduced himself. She seemed embarrassed when he brought up their literal run in earlier and asked that he forgive her. But Willie, never one to let matters lie, then mentioned the past times she'd ignored him and asked for a reason why.
It was his turn to be embarrassed once she mentioned that she was never one for socialising, especially with men.
"I've never been the best at conversation", she shyly whispered.
Tumblr media
Still, there were no hard feelings between the two and they spent the next half hour engaged in conversation about how odd living in a little town was. Willie, even though he'd grown up here, felt just as new in town as Lillian did at times.

To the lighthouse
Country Life | Published 29 July 2020
Guest-Edited by HRH The Princess Royal
The Princess says: ‘This garden is slightly off the beaten track! The photographer picked a very good day to capture it. This is Northern Lighthouse Board territory—I’ve been there three times now and sailed past it on a number of occasions. The garden is looked after astonishingly well.’
THERE are two ways to reach the lighthouse at Rubh’A’Mhail, or Ruvaal, on the north-east point of Islay: by boat or by walking for more than two hours across The Hill, a windswept wilderness of cotton-grass bogs and heather moorland riddled with gullies, waterfalls and burns. Those that make the journey to Howard and Suzanne Cobb’s one-acre garden, where salt-laden storms can sometimes topple a grown man, will be amazed at what has been coaxed into growing in this barren landscape of exposed rock and topsoil that is, in places, only 1in deep. They will be even more surprised that this horticultural miracle is the work of a slender, 5ft 1in-tall, 75-year-old woman—yet the indomitable Mrs Cobb, who made and maintains this garden pretty much singlehandedly, is a gale force to be reckoned with.
Rugosa roses cock a snook at the wind and mounds of improbably delicateRosa Alba Semiplena and soft-pinkR . Celeste have braved the odds to become 5ft-plus-high bushes. In the shelter created by the shrubs and trees, bistort and buddleia, astrantias, nepeta and hardy geranium are a few that have made this rugged ground their home.
Tucked into precious pockets of soil are masses of small bulbs that light up the garden in spring. On the upside, the Gulf Stream holds off all but a couple of frosts a year and old-fashioned favourites, such as lupins, sweet williams and pinks, generally thrive in this fully organic garden. Everything is generously enriched with homemade compost —enhanced by the secret ingredient of seaweed that’s washed up on to the beach by the winter storms, gathered into rich trailer loads and transported home behind a quad bike.
Due to the secluded and modest nature of the garden at Ruvaal, Mrs Cobb was astonished when she learned The Princess Royal had singled it out as one of her favourites. ‘Princess Anne must go to so many wonderful places and yet she’s picked my humble garden,’ exclaimed Mrs Cobb, before explaining that The Princess first visited 25 years ago, as part of her role as patron of the Northern Lighthouse Board (NLB). ‘The garden was still in its infancy then, although she did admire my cabbages. When she next came, she noted how everything had grown and the third time, she seemed quite impressed—I think because it’s in such an exposed and unlikely location. Or perhaps it was the chocolate cake I served on that occasion!’
Even the insect life is undeterred by the remoteness. Butterflies adore this garden. Last year, Mrs Cobb counted 57 painted ladies on one privet. Regulars include the marsh and dark green fritillaries, small copper, small blue, peacock, small tortoiseshell and red admiral. The hummingbird hawk-moth feeds on the red valerian and bumblebees love the cotoneasters, which do well here.
Tumblr media
Birdlife proliferates. Golden eagles soar above and sea eagles fly past, with smaller birds—yellowhammers, meadow pipits, reed buntings, dunnocks, redpolls, whitethroats, stonechats and goldfinches—congregating in the shadow of the lighthouse, too. There are also resident blackbirds, a nesting song thrush and swallows that nest in the porch. However, the most unusual visitor is the cuckoo: one year, Mrs Cobb counted three.
‘I had wanted to live on the west coast of Scotland ever since I was 11 years old and came here with my parents,’ admits Mrs Cobb who, until 26 years ago, resided in Buckinghamshire. When her husband’s work began to involve regular travelling, which meant that there were no longer restrictions on where they lived, the couple decided to look for somewhere fairly remote with a bit of land close to the sea. One day, Mrs Cobb spotted an advert for a former lighthouse keeper’s cottage on Islay, which had views of Colonsay, Mull and Jura, and they felt they ought to take a look.
The cottage (originally two, knocked into one) stood in the curtilage of the 112ft lighthouse, which had been completed in 1859 and was fully automated in 1983. There were few windows, which made the rooms terribly dark, and the water supply was described as ‘spasmodic’. Indeed, it was so poor that the Cobbs would not have been able to run a washing machine. The garden consisted of nothing but one redcurrant bush and some rogue potatoes in the former vegetable patch. Nonetheless, despite the inaccessibility of the site and the fact there were only two small co-op shops on the island (there are, happily, plenty of distilleries) the Cobbs were smitten, and have never looked back.
‘Howard was away quite a lot at the beginning, so I had to learn how to handle a boat pretty quickly,’ Mrs Cobb recalls. She soon had the measure of a 19ft Orkney Fastliner, in which she ferried the workmen back and forth, negotiating the Atlantic swell at the jetty. Eventually, when she was ready to move in, Mrs Cobb and her black retriever-cross Tara brought the last of their belongings to the island in the Fastliner, using her wheelbarrow to make the many journeys up and down the hill from the beach to the house.
On board were some cuttings from her garden in Buckinghamshire, a classic village garden with cottagey plants and winding paths. These weren’t nearly enough to fill the barren acre, but there was much generosity and goodwill from the islanders. A forester gave her a heap of rugosa roses, declaring they should grow well. He also gave her some pines and firs.
Not wanting her to be disappointed, a kind old seafarer who saw her load the roses into the boat said: ‘Ye’ll nae grow roses out there, lassie.’ One day, when Mrs Cobb was setting off home from Port Askaig, an old boy threw a sack of montbretia corms into the bottom of the Fastliner. ‘They’ll spread and protect other things,’ he told her.
Tumblr media
The obvious first move would have been to plant a shelterbelt, but, with the garden open to the sea on three sides, complete protection would have spoiled the views—on a clear day, as well as the islands, it’s possible to see the mountains of Glencoe 65 miles north on the mainland. Instead, Mrs Cobb planted the evergreens on the land side and put in rowans and birches that grew into multi-stemmed bushes. After a slow start, the evergreens took hold and stand a good 20ft high today. The rugosa roses have spread, filling the garden with scent, and both Rosa Alba Semiplena, perhaps Mrs Cobb’s favourite, and Celeste have proved tolerant of the salt.
Tumblr media
The NLB’s boatman offered some cuttings from his escallonia hedge—which have now blossomed into 6ft- to 7ft-high bushes. Hebe cuttings gathered from a shrub outside a former police station 30 miles away have also thrived, despite an early loss: one exceptionally strong gale uprooted a small hebe, sending it bowling across the garden and away over the wall, never to be seen again.
Fuchsia magellanica grows well here, too —both the deep-pink variety and a white that was given to Ruvaal by a friend who was digging out some of hers.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Incredibly, some plants, such as foxgloves, arrive of their own accord, with Mrs Cobb counting 63 digitalis in one bed alone. Other wildflowers—such as celandine, common orchids, scabious and thousands of bluebells —proliferate on The Hill.
For many years, she enjoyed her cedar-wood greenhouse, starting seeds off there and using it to grow tomatoes and cucumbers. Eventually, however, after suffering more than 20 years of Force 10 and 11 gales, it blew down, forcing Mrs Cobb to overwinter her scented-leaf pelargoniums in the lee of the house. Most sweet peas are grown under glass, as, after September, it becomes too windy outdoors for a wigwam. These are now in pots on the table outside the back door where they trail instead.
The original NLB vegetable patch is in full use, despite the predations of two pheasants, which appeared from goodness knows where and have caused such a nuisance that workmen had to make a wire cage to protect the brassicas. Of course, the wily birds soon got around that. ‘I grew kale last year and the wretched pheasant just sat on top of the cage pecking at what grew through the wire,’ laments Mrs Cobb, who, this year, decided to grow a dwarf variety instead.
When the couple first moved in, Mrs Cobb was warned that she would never grow apple trees, but, typically determined, she did and, as have the blackcurrants, these have been a huge success. Mice and voles do help themselves to some French beans (it’s too windy for runners), yet not enough to be a massive problem. Luckily, the deer and rabbits are kept out by the stone wall. ‘The red deer stand there gazing enviously through the gate,’ observes Mrs Cobb, without a great deal of sympathy.

Hello soda senpai. It's 🖤 anon here is a continuation of the fic I sent. I hope my writing skills have improved. I decided to turn my reader fic to an oc . Please give your feedback.
Empty manor
Astrea Celeste was busy with her least favorite work . She in fact hated the work of the house head with passion. "Even the paperwork I did as a magic knight was better." She said throwing her pen on the table
She checked the time, it was almost lunch time. She didn't want to leave her work but she remembered her promise to Nacht that she would look after herself. She left her room and walked down the stairs. "So empty." She thought.
She entered the dining room. The table was huge but she was alone. There were so many dishes but she was the only one to eat. After she finished her lunch, she called a maid.
"Clear my plate, and give rest of the food to the poor. Tell the kitchen head to not buy this much food for a single person, we don't have as much money as we used to." 
" Yes, my lady." The maid replied 
She returned to her office to continue her work. "I hate this place, I hate this work, I hate this mansion." She said out loud. "My squad headquarters are so much better. I wouldn't have even kept it if not for..." 
Just then a idea crossed her mind.
"Why didn't I think of it before?" she said and smiled "I should discuss it with Nacht tonight."
(Nighttime)
Nacht appeared in her room from the shadows like he always did. She immediately hugged him, she was waiting for him for hours.
"Hey, how was work?" He asked
"About that, I actually decided something." She replied smiling.
"What is it?" He asked knowing that she must have taken a huge decision.
"Nacht, I decided to give up my noble status and sell this mansion."
"What? But why?" He was shocked
"It's just too suffocating here and there are so many bitter memories."
"But then you won't be able to live the life you are living. It will be difficult."
"I know that but Nacht, this life is too hectic. It's too painful. I don't like this work. I don't like this mansion. I just want to keep a few income sources and leave." She said bursting into tears. Nacht wiped her tears and hugged her.
"I see." He said in an understanding voice as he rubbed her back.
"Ummm.. Nacht... I was also thinking that... maybe instead of keeping the manor, I'll buy a good house..." She said as started blushing
Nacht froze, he wasn't as dense as Yami, he knew exactly what this meant.
"Maybe..... for just the both of us, I know we have our squad headquarters but maybe we could go to that house during breaks." She continued. "I mean I kept this mansion because we can get our privacy. Don't get me wrong, I like your squad-."
Nacht kissed her forehead and she froze. "You don't have to explain, even I want to have some time for just the both of us." He said.
"I see, so if you aren't busy tomorrow shall we go look for a house? My break will be over soon and I want to be done with all the mansion and house head related work before that. "
"Sure" Nacht said and kissed her " I'd love that."
So what do you think? Also is my grammar okay?
Oh~ We went from an xreader to an oc~! How fun!
Astrea Celeste... A very spatial name. Stars and nighttime is a classic combo so the aesthetic of Astrea and Nacht's name alone is attractive~!
The first scene scene gives a smaller snapshot of Astrea's feelings towards her position as a whole. She doesn't like the duties she has as head of house, but she doesn't neglect doing them. Her responsibilities do weigh on her but she has the diligence to see them through. I also get the feeling that Astrea is bothered by the hollow excess of her position, like being served far too much food at once.
It's also very nice that Astrea doesn't take her frustrations out on others (at least from what you've shared here). She's not all that warm in the one interaction she has with her staff but neither does she make harsh comments about the chef's over indulgence. She just makes it known what she wants done without fanfare.
The plainness of the earlier interaction then highlights her intimacy with Nacht. She goes to hug him and lets herself cry, unloading her negative feelings. However, Astrea doesn't mope too long and instead shows some fluster when suggesting that she and Nacht live together. She's emotive without being temperamental. I feel that Nacht would take a lover who is quieter than his squad and easy to be around. And so Astrea being able to voice her feelings without being over the top about works for Nacht.
Eh heh heh heh~! The forehead kiss... Nacht smooching his s/o's forehead is something that's so easy to picture and feels so right.
I can tell your grammar has improved with this new snippet. Like, letting the single sentence of Astrea's idea coming to mind being its own paragraph is a good show of how she has the idea and pauses because it feels like a strong revelation to her. I have an easy time reading the flow of your sentences, although I think some comma divided parts could be turned into full sentence stops like
Nacht froze. He wasn't as dense as Yami and so he knew exactly what this meant.
And the only other bit that caught my attention was the use of "burst into tears." It comes off as a little strong, though maybe it's because I take the "burst" a little literally and picture someone letting out an audible sob. If you just meant that Astrea begins crying very suddenly, I think it still comes across.
Again, I like what you're sharing. It's got emotions and tenderness even without strictly being fluff. The drama isn't on the level of some canon events but it still gets me invested because sometimes the smaller, personal matters are more engaging since they laser focus on an individual. And seeing Nacht being able to support someone rather than need the support himself is nice.

Thinking about my knight au I drew for pokémon ship week.
So Cynthia is basically Giratina’s host, but technically it should’ve been Volo, who basically just picked up Cynthia, dragged her to hell and told giratina “yeah that’s your new host now bye”, which left Volo able to leave the distortion world and do some evil shit or something (maybe haunt dawn who knows). Since being bonded to giratina is arceus’s punishment for Volo, he had to find a descendant of his that was close enough to him appearance and genetic wise in order to trick Arceus into thinking that Volo was still with Giratina (which wasn’t hard considering arceus probably forgot about volo). And unfortunately Cynthia fits the bill.
I think that a confrontation between cyn and dia could go down too (likely when they’re on their ‘Diantha time to meet your destiny and beat up giratina’ expedition) . Maybe when Diantha sees Cynthia coughing up antimatter (which she’s never seen but Cynthia has been dealing with that for a while). It leads to an argument, where Cynthia reveals she’s bonded to giratina, and she yells “you know what? Fuck it. I’ll make it easier for you to meet your bullshit destiny” to which Diantha is still silent since she’s still processing what Cynthia said. Cynthia continues with “defeat me, lady Diantha. I’m right here”. At this point it gets dramatic and giratina’s shadow is hovering over them. Then the dramatic moment gets cut short as Cynthia has another coughing fit (Gira is looking concerned). Diantha goes “No.. I can’t. Just- give me a moment” and walks away to think about what happened in the past hour or so.
Sometime later Cyn and Dia are talking and basically deduct that Cynthia probably isn’t the evil that diantha’s prophecy was talking about, and it was likely volo instead (it is). Their reasoning was that since Cynthia only got unexpectedly bonded to giratina about a decade ago, and this prophecy was hundreds of years old, it likely couldn’t be Cynthia.
Cynthia also has a lot of issues with Arceus. Before she was bonded to giratina, she used to believe wholeheartedly in Arceus, even wanting to meet it (not on the same level as Volo. It was more of a ‘what if’ thing). It was common for those from Celestic town to believe in Arceus, so Cynthia grew up believing in it. After bonding with Gira, she started resenting it, believing that this was Arceus’s doing. It kind of wasn’t, but she mostly wanted someone to blame. Cynthia absolutely despises white and gold color combos and prefers black and gold.
that’s kinda it for now, I might talk about it more if I feel like it jdkajdjs

I know I never post and this has been the only thing I’ve done on tumblr. But do we share a live for difficult games?
My favorite game (celeste) is tough as nails and the adrenaline rush for beating a fast paced level can be unreal.
But I don’t have that deep intimacy you do of wanting to be stabbed by the goddess of rot.
Like I never want to plummet myself into a bunch of spikes or sharp crystals for Madeline to have a safe landing.
I've never played celeste but I've heard that it's really really good. The game looks cute, but this is not my kinda genre.
You know, it's not just about the stabbing, although also that. It's about who's stabbing and what kind of energy they possess. Being defeated can be kinda exciting, especially when over the course of 11 hours of restless attempts you develop some kind of personal relationship with the one you're fighting? This is not just Malenia.
In Dark Souls 3 there was Friede, a tall scythes-weilding lady with frost and black flame magic. In Bloodborne there was Lady Maria with her blood and fire infused blades. From Software really made those fights majestic, fast-paced and exciting. But what is more important, is how the bosses are characterized through the way they fight. Friede is snappy, technical, careful, keeps her distance until you make a mistake, only to shred you to pieces with a single combo or a very powerful hit. Not to mention her spectacular grab attacks and frost magic. The latter characterises her as, well, cold-hearted and unfeeling, even her voice is kinda chilling.
Maria is aggressive, ruthless, she does not fuck around, she goes straight for the kill, oftentimes doing so in a single well-timed hit. She's more of a storm, a force of nature that demands that you play by her rules. The fire attacks in the last phase really charactetise her as a fierce huntress who fights with burning passion.
And Malenia, in my opinion, is the best one at characterisation through her moveset. She tells you that she's never known defeat, and when you fight her it's very easy to believe her. She's relentless as well as technical, which forces you to fight at her own pace, and it's very difficult to keep up with her! You can't take a single moment you spend breathing in the same room as her for granted, because at any moment she can just kill you for making a single mistake.
My point is, being around those intimidating ladies is very very exciting. They're so strong and beautiful, and you really pick up quickly who they are as a person while fighting them, without a single spoken word.
As you can see I'm kinda trying to sidestep the question about my stabbing fantasy.. I have no idea what to tell you honestly. I wish there was a coherent explanation for it but there is none. I'm just fucked up in the head i guess ¯\_༼ ಥ ‿ ಥ ༽_/¯

Facts About The Aether
This is sort of my own spin on the Aether so that it’s not too similar to the mod. This will be updated if I need to.
- The Aether, like the Nether and the End, is its own unique realm. While the Nether is dangerous and hellish and the End is dark and empty, the Aether is peaceful and full of light.
- In it, you’ll find lots of open space, water, wispy clouds, many passive mobs, and the Aetherians, which are humanoids that have elytra wings fused to their back and beetle-like antennae. Their wings are different from the elytra wings you get in the End because they’re capable of sustained flight, and they can take off without the need for fireworks.
- The Nether is implied to be underground, and the End is implied to be in the void. Likewise, the Aether is implied to be high above the clouds. As such, most Aetherians have dark skin so that they won’t be sunburned. They’re also usually chubby or muscular so as to resist the atmospheric pressure.
- Just like the Nether, there are biomes unique to the Aether, such as the mixed forest, a place with trees that have different colored leaves in the same area, the upwellings, rocky streams with water so rapid that it can splash you from afar, and the floating islands biome, islands in the sky connected by vines and logs.
- I haven’t decided what the portal to (my version of) the Aether is made of, but I imagine it’s made of something that’s seemingly useless, like copper or amethyst.
- The passive mobs in the Aether are almost always winged.
- I imagine that in the Minecraft: Story Mode world, allays can only be found in the Aether. Allays bring Aetherians something in their hours of need if they give them something, or if they hear music playing.
- There are a lot more caves with drip leaves, spore blossoms and all that stuff.
- The Aether is led by a trio of rulers named Lucius, Uriel and Chandler. They each wear dazzling crowns and pure, silky white garments.
- They live in the Aether Palace, which is their equivalent of a Nether fortress or a bastion remnant.
- The leaders have six ladies-in-waiting: Skyla, Celeste, Rey, Marisol, Juniper and Aurora. Each of them can be seen dressed in a gown of a different color.
- They are served by many palace residents divided into “servant blocks.” Their clothes are decorated with little white dots resembling stars.
- Marisol discovered a functional portal frame while traveling outside the palace one day and ended up in Jesse’s world. She started collecting food items and sharing them with her friends. Now, she has a whole collection of flowers and other things. Every so often, she heads through that portal to add more to it.
- Sometimes, she and the other ladies change out of their gowns to go for a fly together.
- Not many people in the Aether are aware that Vega, who works as a servant, is plotting something sinister whenever she’s off-duty…

AND MILLIONS OF MILES AWAY...
Tumblr media
Cursed Maya: Greetings!
Co-Mod: GAH--!!
...Oh, jeez, I thought you were that Celeste creep from a year ago. Can I, uh...help you?
Tumblr media
Cursed Maya: There's something wrong with Master. Something ghostly.
Tumblr media
Cursed Pearl: Master hasn't been feeding Fluffy lately and Fluffy gets very cranky when she's not fed.
Co-Mod: "Fluffy"? Uhhhhh, I don't think I ever saw any--
Tumblr media
Cursed Rayfa: Look, are you going to see what's going on with Master or am I going to have to feed your soul to Fluffy?
Co-Mod: Okay, okay, fine! (Ugh, they just won't let me retire, will they?)
Tumblr media
Huh... That is weird. That green lady can't be Chief, though... can it?
Tumblr media
Cursed Pearl: I don't think so. Could Master be possessed? She looks like a ghost and has red eyes. Red eyes is never good.
Tumblr media
Cursed Maya: Unless it's a hot anime character.
Co-Mod: *cringes* Please... I'm still trying to forget about Ms. Red-Eyed Ghost Lady.
*tries to log onto the blog, but gets locked out*
...I'm locked out? What's going on here?
Tumblr media
Cursed Rayfa: Can't you log onto your account without a password? The Mod was able to log in without knowing the password quite easily.
Tumblr media
Cursed Maya: I think that requires your email to be in the blog. You know, clicking "Forgot Password." Of course, the only email on this one is The Mod's.
Co-Mod: *groans* I haven't been in contact with The Mod for years now and Modthorne is busy. Hm... maybe I can try something.
*after some grueling hours of trying to remember how to log onto The Mod's email for AskAceAttorney*
Co-Mod: Got it!
Tumblr media
Anne: *groans* You guys just never listen.
Co-Mod: WhoawhoawhoaWHOAWHOAHWHOAWHOAWHOA...!!

America goes to grab a book because all the elite are understandably upset about the murder threats and apparently no one is quite desperate enough to ask Silvia for work to do -
Tumblr media
- so they're all sketching and reading fun books. Don't get me wrong, it is good to rest your brain and you cannot work every hour of every day, but these girls want to princesses and this book wants me to believe royalty Does Shit, and instead of going 'hmm is there something I can do in times of crisis' they literally reject the idea of asking if they can help with something. Like okay.
Anyway America goes to get a book and runs into a crying Celeste because one of her magazines put America first in a poll.
America, because she has 0 media literacy, and Celeste, who should know better, feel like this means America Definitely Has All The Support of the Commons. If you're actually in PR or communication or politics you know that poll results are incredibly easy to use in a misleading fashion and it is best to start asking questions like, who put this poll on. What were the questions. Who was surveyed.
Just to start.
Because this is The Selection, no one considers that the polls were probably all answered by Twos who had time and energy and who the reporters were sent to ask by the crown so everything is biased as hell.
ANYWAY
Quotes from those polled edged the graph, saying that Celeste was positively regal, though she was in third. Elise was so poised, it said, but she also only had eight percent of the population pulling for her. By my picture were opinions that made me want to cry.
“Lady America is just like the queen. She’s a fighter. It’s more than wanting her; we need her!”
The only quote given. Aside from the hilarity that is one speech ever rocketing her so far above the rest in what was probably a display poll idk, Amberly has only been lauded for being pretty and sweet and peacekeeping. Literally nothing in America's speech would lead to this comparison

Not So Lazy Saturdays
Sandra and Celeste went to the San Myshuno Fleamarket together. Once they got there they met Ishtar (Faiz Sister), so they decided to hang out together! Sandy saw a Yoga mat for sale and got an idea... After the fleamarket the ladies went to the Baskeball Court in San Seqouia. Having had great fun for a couple of hours, they decided to start a basketball club! Shelly was also invited, for next time. Guess Sandra has a little basketball club now and a new Wellness hobby!

Fandom Saturday, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles
For many years, this was my favorite anime of all time. It was created by Clamp and uses a lot of the characters from Cardcaptor Sakura. It also shares Mokona, which I didn't realize was actually from Magic Knight Rayearth until @tuulikannel brought it up and I watched the slideshow with the opening. (Fucking brilliant!)
Tsubasa is a tale of a princess with a special power. A man who desires this power sets things into motion to obtain it for himself. Syaoran, whom I absolutely adore - he is in my man harem and such a squish, is in love with Princess Sakura and when her power is awakened, her memories in the form of feathers disappear into other worlds and dimensions across the universe. If I had known about fanfiction at this point, I can't tell you how many stories I had of them visiting other anime and stories already in existence to collect said feathers. I'd visit Bleach, I'd visit Shinzo, I'd visit Vampire Diaries and Percy Jackson and Star Ocean and Chrono Cross and Final Fantasy VII and whatever else I happened to be into at the time. (Definitely not Higurashi. I'm okay not being in that world. 😅) I'd spend so many hours just daydreaming, which is why it was my favorite.
Honestly, it probably spawned my love of isekais. Well, I'd already come up with the basis of Krystar which is also an isekai, so it just strongly reaffirmed it, I guess.
And on top of that, it's just so tragic. It's one of the few animes I watched because I actually started the manga first. And it took me a while to collect the manga, so I finished the anime in the meantime, hated where it left off like, right in the middle of everything without touching any of the cool parts of the story, and then finished the manga. I guess they didn't have enough funding? But the fans were so outraged by this, Clamp made 2 OVAs of the biggest moments in the manga to satisfy them.
Anyway, here's a funny story about me for you, inspired by Tsubasa. My husband, whom I refer to as Deo online for future reference, took me out on our second first date (story for another day) and called ahead to get a giant cookie prepared. He checked on it at the mall without my noticing and the lady said "I hope you like how the feather came out, but what's a Fakura?". Phones weren't that good in 2009. 😆 So she had to fix it to say "Sakura" and it was a feather with the words "You are my Sakura" surrounding it, because I always wanted to be the princess that Syaoran did everything in his power to save, even at the cost of what was most precious to him.
Which is why Syaoran is in my very selective man harem. To put it into perspective, Karma is on the honorable mention list and Nagisa didn't even make it onto a list, and anyone that knows me knows I love these two. And I know I say man harem, but it's really more of a Celeste situation from Danganronpa where I want a huge mansion with these dudes in it and unlike for Celeste, they don't need to be vampires or to cater to my every need, I just want them there. Forever. With me.
Anyway, off topic.
I love Syaoran. And Tsubasa has shaped a lot of my creativity drives. It taught me to think in different ways and to be aware of different cultures (like Thera!) and to consider the motivations people can have. For love, for hunger, for fear. And sure, Assassination Classroom may view Irina and Karasuma as Mommy and Daddy, but the original Mommy and Daddy to me was always Fai and Kurogane (who surprisingly looks a lot like Karasuma now that I think about it.) And the anime is filled with quirks and good feels and discovery and learning and growing and found family. It's just so beautiful…
AND THE MUSIC!!! I totally forgot to mention the music. *Facepalm. Maaya Sakamoto and Yuki Kajiura have such beautiful voices and so many of the songs in the anime were left on repeat for years in my music library and even though it's been over a decade, I still frequently listen to them to this day. Aikoi, I talk to the rain, Dream Scape, You are my love, Kaze no Machi e, Loop, so many.
I feel like it deserved a much bigger fandom than it had. Like Bleach or Full Metal Alchemist. It's truly a work of art to me and it just blows my mind that they couldn't finish the anime because they lacked funding and fans. It just deserves so much.
Anyway, sorry to ramble. This one I feel really was more of a ramble than usual. Highly recommend. It wasn't my first anime, but in many ways, it did so much more for me than Sailor Moon did, and I don't say that lightly. I mean, I wouldn't even consider Tuxedo Mask for my man harem. He doesn't even deserve to be on a wait list. Helios was better than him in my opinion. I wouldn't even consider Helios either though. Seiya was close, and the genderbending made him more interesting, but he didn't make it in either.
I feel like I need to make a post of who's in my man harem now…
Anyway, thanks for reading. Love you all! *kiss

hey so now can you do where togami is back to normal and he's all shy PLEASE ITS SO CUTE
Oof this one was a bit of time coming but YES, post-wolfie rich bish :3
Part 1 to this follow-up can be found here
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It had been an interesting few hours of work that night, with Celeste coaxing the full moon-afflicted Togami around the school, last-minute explanations tumbling out of her mouth when she ran into a few of her classmates who questioned why the heir, of all people, was partaking in Halloween, why he didn't seem the dress-up type, blah blah blah-
So Celeste had to explain that he was merely modeling the "fake" ears and tail for a costume company and that they had gone to the woods for an impromptu photoshoot, a generous portion of the funds being donated to the Togami corps in the end, because duh, you've got to give back to the gracious volunteer of one of the most notorious families in all of Japan.
After shooing them away, the maiden had ventured to the kitchen and, good heavens, found Yamada prancing around in a Princess Piggles getup he had obtained from Tsumugi a few floors up, rummaging around to see if he could smuggle any more candy that Monokuma may have hidden away. Celeste sneered behind a hand that shielded her eyes from the sight while Togami's ears went down and he let out a displeased huff.
Rapping her knuckles against the wall, Yamada promptly shrieked before getting blushy at the sight of Celeste, freezing up like a deer in headlights before the lady spit at him to fetch some dinner for the two of them to take back to their rooms, as she didn't want either of them to dine in the presence of...that 'pink puffball of putridness,' Celeste would later remark.
After some crudely heated chicken from that night's dinner they had missed during their woods escapade, which Togami scarfed down with no shame whatsoever, despite Celeste letting out many a giggle afterwards, she tried to usher him back to his dorm room on their walk back, only for him to stop at his door and latch onto her, a low growl vibrating through his stomach as he shoved his face in her shoulder, clearly showing an unforseen 'clingy' side and not wanting her to leave.
More giggles escaped Celeste before prying his arms off and scratching the scalp by his ears once more before bidding him goodnight and shutting the door in his face. A sound akin to a huff and a whimper was heard, followed by a scratching at the door. He was trying to get her to come back and let him out.
Celeste merely shook her head with a hint of a smile as she arrived at her own room.
"How did I get so close to that blonde oaf?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning came, as did the new month of November, and the next phase of fall had begun. Monokuma and his Kubs had surprised the students by decorating the cafeteria overnight in garlands and wreaths of autumn leaves, along with floral arrangements at the center of each dining table.
As class 78 convened for breakfast, all except for Togami, Celeste sat alone, as per usual, sipping her tea. On occasion, she'd enjoy the company of the blonde or any of the other females in her class, especially Sakura and Asahina, for they too had a knack for tea and pastries.
About ten minutes had passed, with Celeste's eyes coming up to scan the room for any sign of Togami on more than one occasion, before he finally walked through the doors, head slightly turned down as he paced to the back corner she sat by. His hair was smoothed back down again, his ears gone, but a few strands of blonde fluff stood up messily from where they formally were.
Celeste couldn't help but hide her mouth with her hand as she giggled under her breath at the sight.
Making no eye contact with any of his classmates that either bade him a good morning or simply stared, he drew back the chair next to her and took a seat, arms crossed and head now turned down further to hide his rose-dusted cheeks as he mumbled something to himself.
"I'm sorry, come again?" Celeste politely questioned.
"...sorry you had to see me like that."
Togami? Apologizing? This only happened once in a blue moon, if at all!
"You needn't apologize, I assure you," the lady remarked, going in to smooth down the strands of hair that were still unkempt, but not before leaving a tiny, one-fingered scratch at one of the spots where his ears once were after she was done, causing him to flinch and hide his face in her shoulder again, cheeks dusting themselves a deeper pink.
"WHA- you can't just do that in here with all of them watching!"
"Trust me, dearest," she reassured. "Hardly any of them know or will if they ask."
The heir's shoulders loosened up slightly, and he sighed as his face still remained close to her shoulder, cheek now leaning against hers.
"Alright, but if anyone asks-"
"Yes, yes, I understand," Celeste prattled, making a tiny shooing gesture with her free hand. "Tell them that I was merely assisting you and Enoshima with a modeling project, I've got it."
She felt Togami nod in understanding as the two were silent for the remainder of breakfast, nobody sparing them any form of judging glance, thank goodness, as the lady finished her tea.
To be honest, she'd miss those ears until next month...
