How Michael Met Neil

original direct link [MP3]

(Neil, if you see this, please feel free to grab the transcript and store on your site; I had no easy way of contacting you.)

DAVID TENNANT: Tell me about @neil-gaiman then, because he's in that category [previously: “such a profound effect on my life”] as well.

MICHAEL SHEEN: So this is what has brought us together.

DAVID: Yes.

MICHAEL: To the new love story for the 21st century.

DAVID: Exactly.

MICHAEL: So when I went to drama school, there was a guy called Gary Turner in my year. And within the first few weeks, we were doing something, having a drink or whatever. And he said to me, “Do you read comic books?”

And I said, “No.”  I mean, this is … what … '88?  '88, '89.  So it was … now I know that it was a period of time that was a big change, transformation going through comic books.  Rather than it being thought of as just superheroes and Batman and Superman, there was this whole new era of a generation of writers like Grant Morrison.

DAVID: The kids who'd grown up reading comic books were now making comic books

MICHAEL: Yeah, yeah, and starting to address different kinds of subjects through the comic book medium. So it wasn't about just superheroes, it was all kinds of stuff going on – really fascinating stuff. And I was totally unaware of this.

And so this guy Gary said to me, "Do you read them?" And I said, "No."  And he went, "Right, okay, here's The Watchman [sic] by Alan Moore. Here's Swamp Thing. Here's Hellblazer. And here's Sandman.”

And Sandman was Neil Gaiman's big series that put his name on the map. And I read all those, and, just – I was blown away by all of them, but particularly the Sandman stories, because he was drawing on mythology, which was something I was really interested in, and fairy tales, folklore, and philosophy, and Shakespeare, and all kinds of stuff were being mixed up in this story.  And I absolutely loved it.

So I became a big fan of Neil's, and started reading everything by him. And then fairly shortly after that, within six months to a year, Good Omens the book came out, which Neil wrote with Terry Pratchett. And so I got the book – because I was obviously a big fan of Neil's by this point – read it, loved it, then started reading Terry Pratchett’s stuff as well, because I didn't know his stuff before then – and then spent years and years and years just being a huge fan of both of them.

And then eventually when – I'd done films like the Underworld films and doing Twilight films. And I think it was one of the Twilight films, there was a lot of very snooty interviews that happened where people who considered themselves well above talking about things like Twilight were having to interview me … and, weirdly, coming at it from the attitude of 'clearly this is below you as well' … weirdly thinking I'm gonna go, 'Yeah, fucking Twilight.”

And I just used to go, "You know what? Some of the greatest writing of the last 50-100 years has happened in science fiction or fantasy."  Philip K Dick is one of my favorite writers of all time. In fact, the production of Hamlet I did was mainly influenced by Philip K Dick.  Ursula K. Le Guin and Asimov, and all these amazing people. And I talked about Neil as well. And so I went off on a bit of a rant in this interview.

Anyway, the interview came out about six months later, maybe.  Knock on the door, open the door, delivery of a big box. That’s interesting. Open the box, there's a card at the top of the box. I open the card.

It says, From one fan to another, Neil Gaiman.  And inside the box are first editions of Neil's stuff, and all kinds of interesting things by Neil. And he just sent this stuff.

DAVID: You'd never met him?

MICHAEL: Never met him. He'd read the interview, or someone had let him know about this interview where I'd sung his praises and stood up for him and the people who work within that sort of genre as being like …

And he just got in touch. We met up for the first time when he came to – I was in Los Angeles at the time, and he came to LA.  And he said, "I'll take you for a meal."

I said, “All right.”

He said, "Do you want to go somewhere posh, or somewhere interesting?”

I said, "Let's go somewhere interesting."

He said, "Right, I'm going to take you to this restaurant called The Hump." And it's at Santa Monica Airport. And it's a sushi restaurant.

I was like, “Right, okay.” So I had a Mini at the time. And we get in my Mini and we drive off to Santa Monica Airport. And this restaurant was right on the tarmac, like, you could sit in the restaurant (there's nobody else there when we got there, we got there quite early) and you're watching the planes landing on Santa Monica Airport. It's extraordinary. 

And the chef comes out and Neil says, "Just bring us whatever you want. Chef's choice."

So, I'd never really eaten sushi before. So we sit there; we had this incredible meal where they keep bringing these dishes out and they say, “This is [blah, blah, blah]. Just use a little bit of soy sauce or whatever.”  You know, “This is eel.  This is [blah].”

And then there was this one dish where they brought out and they didn't say what it was. It was like “mystery dish”, we had it ... delicious. Anyway, a few more people started coming into the restaurant as time went on.

And we're sort of getting near the end, and I said, "Neil, I can't eat anymore. I'm gonna have to stop now. This is great, but I can't eat–"

"Right, okay. We'll ask for the bill in a minute."

And then the door opens and some very official people come in. And it was the Feds. And the Feds came in, and we knew they were because they had jackets on that said they were part of the Federal Bureau of Whatever. And about six of them come in. Two of them go … one goes behind the counter, two go into the kitchen, one goes to the back. They've all got like guns on and stuff.

And me and Neil are like, "What on Earth is going on?"

And then eventually one guy goes, "Ladies and gentlemen, if you haven't ordered already, please leave. If you're still eating your meal, please finish up, pay your bill, leave."*

[* - delivered in a perfect American ‘serious law agent’ accent/impression]

And we were like, "Oh my God, are we poisoned? Is there some terrible thing that's happened?"  

We'd finished, so we pay our bill.  And then all the kitchen staff are brought out. And the head chef is there. The guy who's been bringing us this food. And he's in tears. And he says to Neil, "I'm so sorry." He apologizes to Neil.  And we leave. We have no idea what happened.

DAVID: But you're assuming it's the mystery dish.

MICHAEL: Well, we're assuming that we can't be going to – we can't be –  it can't be poisonous. You know what I mean? It can't be that there's terrible, terrible things.

So the next day was the Oscars, which is why Neil was in town. Because Coraline had been nominated for an Oscar. Best documentary that year was won by The Cove, which was by a team of people who had come across dolphins being killed, I think.

Turns out, what was happening at this restaurant was that they were having illegal endangered species flown in to the airport, and then being brought around the back of the restaurant into the kitchen.

We had eaten whale – endangered species whale. That was the mystery dish that they didn't say what it was.

And the team behind The Cove were behind this sting, and they took them down that night whilst we were there.

DAVID: That’s extraordinary.

MICHAEL: And we didn't find this out for months.  So for months, me and Neil were like, "Have you worked anything out yet? Have you heard anything?"

"No, I haven't heard anything."

And then we heard that it was something to do with The Cove, and then we eventually found out that that restaurant, they were all arrested. The restaurant was shut down. And it was because of that. And we'd eaten whale that night.

DAVID: And that was your first meeting with Neil Gaiman.

MICHAEL: That was my first meeting. And also in the drive home that night from that restaurant, he said, and we were in my Mini, he said, "Have you found the secret compartment?"

I said, "What are you talking about?" It's such a Neil Gaiman thing to say.

DAVID: Isn't it?

MICHAEL: The secret compartment? Yeah. Each Mini has got a secret compartment. I said, "I had no idea." It's secret. And he pressed a little button and a thing opened up. And it was a secret compartment in my own car that Neil Gaiman showed me.

DAVID: Was there anything inside it?

MICHAEL: Yeah, there was a little man. And he jumped out and went, "Hello!" No, there was nothing in there. There was afterwards because I started putting...

DAVID: Sure. That's a very Neil Gaiman story. All of that is such a Neil Gaiman story.

MICHAEL: That's how it began. Yeah.

DAVID: And then he came to offer you the part in Good Omens.

MICHAEL: Yeah. Well, we became friends and we would whenever he was in town, we would meet up and yeah, and then eventually he started, he said, "You know, I'm working on an adaptation of Good Omens." And I can remember at one point Terry Gilliam was going to maybe make a film of it. And I remember being there with Neil and Terry when they were talking about it. And...

DAVID: Were you involved at that point?

MICHAEL: No, no, I wasn't involved. I just happened to have met up with Neil that day.

DAVID: Right.

MICHAEL: And then Terry Gilliam came along and they were chatting, that was the day they were talking about that or whatever.

And then eventually he sent me one of the scripts for an early draft of like the first episode of Good Omens. And he said – and we started talking about me being involved in it, doing it – he said, “Would you be interested?” I was like, "Yeah, of course."  I went, "Oh my God." And he said, "Well, I'll send you the scripts when they come," and I would read them, and we'd talk about them a little bit. And so I was involved.

But it was always at that point with the idea, because he'd always said about playing Crowley in it. And so, as time went on, as I was reading the scripts, I was thinking, "I don't think I can play Crowley. I don't think I'm going to be able to do it." And I started to get a bit nervous because I thought, “I don't want to tell Neil that I don't think I can do this.”  But I just felt like I don't think I can play Crowley.

DAVID: Of course you can [play Crowley?].

MICHAEL: Well, I just on a sort of, on a gut level, sometimes you have it on a gut level.

DAVID: Sure, sure.

MICHAEL: I can do this.

DAVID: Yeah.

MICHAEL: Or I can't do this. And I just thought, “You know what, this is not the part for me. The other part is better for me, I think. I think I can do that, I don't think I could do that.”

But I was scared to tell Neil because I thought, "Well, he wants me to play Crowley" – and then it turned out he had been feeling the same way as well.  And he hadn't wanted to mention it to me, but he was like, "I think Michael should really play Aziraphale."

And neither of us would bring it up.  And then eventually we did. And it was one of those things where you go, "Oh, thank God you said that. I feel exactly the same way." And then I think within a fairly short space of time, he said, “I think we've got … David Tennant … for Crowley.” And we both got very excited about that.

And then all these extraordinary people started to join in. And then, and then off we went.

DAVID: That's the other thing about Neil, he collects people, doesn't he? So he'll just go, “Oh, yeah, I've phoned up Frances McDormand, she's up for it.” Yeah. You're, what?

MICHAEL: “I emailed Jon Hamm.”

DAVID: Yeah.

MICHAEL: And yeah, and you realize how beloved he is and how beloved his work is. And I think we would both recognise that Good Omens is one of the most beloved of all of Neil's stuff.

DAVID: Yes.

MICHAEL: And had never been turned into anything.

DAVID: Yeah.

MICHAEL: And so the kind of responsibility of that, I mean, for me, for someone who has been a fan of him and a fan of the book for so long, I can empathize with all the fans out there who are like, “Oh, they better not fuck this up.”

DAVID: Yes.

MICHAEL: “And this had better be good.” And I have that part of me. But then, of course, the other part of me is like, “But I'm the one who might be fucking it up.”

DAVID: Yeah.

MICHAEL: So I feel that responsibility as well.

DAVID: But we have Neil on site.

MICHAEL: Yes. Well, Neil being the showrunner …

DAVID: Yeah. I think it takes the curse off.

MICHAEL: … I think it made a massive difference, didn't it? Yeah. You feel like you're in safe hands.

DAVID: Well, we think. Not that the world has seen it yet.

MICHAEL (grimly): No, I know.

DAVID: But it was a -- it's been a -- it's been a joy to work with you on it. I can't wait for the world to see it.

MICHAEL: Oh my God.  Oh, well, I mean, it's the only, I've done a few things where there are two people, it's a bit of a double act, like Frost-Nixon and The Queen, I suppose, in some ways. But, and I've done it, Amadeus or whatever.

This is the only thing I've done where I really don't think of it as “my character” or “my performance as that character”.  I think of it totally as us.

DAVID: Yeah.

MICHAEL: The two of us.

DAVID: Yes.

MICHAEL: Like they, what I do is defined by what you do.

DAVID: Yeah.

MICHAEL: And that was such a joy to have that experience. And it made it so much easier in a way as well, I found, because you don't feel like you're on your own in it. Like it's totally us together doing this and the two characters totally complement each other. And the experience of doing it was just a real joy.

DAVID: Yeah.  Well, I hope the world is as excited to see it as we are to talk about it, frankly.

MICHAEL: You know, there's, having talked about T.S. Eliot earlier, there's another bit from The Wasteland where there's a line which goes, These fragments I have shored against my ruin.

And this is how I think about life now. There is so much in life, no matter what your circumstances, no matter what, where you've got, what you've done, how much money you got, all that. Life's hard.  I mean, you can, it can take you down at any point.

You have to find this stuff. You have to like find things that will, these fragments that you hold to yourself, they become like a liferaft, and especially as time goes on, I think, as I've got older, I've realized it is a thin line between surviving this life and going under.

And the things that keep you afloat are these fragments, these things that are meaningful to you and what's meaningful to you will be not-meaningful to someone else, you know. But whatever it is that matters to you, it doesn't matter what it was you were into when you were a teenager, a kid, it doesn't matter what it is. Go and find them, and find some way to hold them close to you. 

Make it, go and get it. Because those are the things that keep you afloat. They really are. Like doing that with him or whatever it is, these are the fragments that have shored against my ruin. Absolutely.

DAVID: That's lovely. Michael, thank you so much.

MICHAEL: Thank you.

DAVID: For talking today and for being here.

MICHAEL: Oh, it's a pleasure. Thank you.

[neil-gaiman]

Neil, please I need to know. Where was the secret compartment at Michael Sheen’s Mini? I’m trying to figure out if mine has one.

They stopped making them in 2016, iirc. Above the glove compartment.

✰ SECRET ADMIRER

— highschoolers bakugo x fem!reader

synopsis: an anonymous love letter appears in your locker on valentine's day. surprised, you and your best friend start an investigation to uncover who was that person observing you from afar. meanwhile, a flushed bakugo tries to ruin your plans on the undercover alongside his shitty-haired buddy

cw: sfw; mostly fluff; lil angst; very insecure bakugo; romantic comedy; puberty; silly jokes; little swearing.

a/n: this is part one of three. let me know if you want this mini series to be continued :) and pls be patient since english is not my first language hehe ;;

word count: 1k

"oh c'mon! what if there's a heart shaped letter in your locker? you never know..."

"there's not."

"you can't be so certain about it. my girl is never looking her surroundings, who knows if someone got their heart pierced by an arrow?" mina pointed.

"shut up, every year the same thing..." you rushed and right after turning the corridor you captured by distance. "ok. maybe you were right." you said finding the metal compartment half closed.

then you grabbed the red paper in her hands, paying attention to the almost dry daisy taped lazily on the front; glanced around not spotting anything or anyone suspicious about it, then turned to your best friend.

"i got a feeling you're part of this." spurred.

"whoa, i was joking just now! even i am chocked. who's the sender?" the pink colored girl held her hands up in protest.

"i don't know, there's only my name." you stated carefully sticking the little flower out.

"let me search for a hint." mina took the letter from your hands suddenly, mumbling while quickly skimming through the words looking for something useful. she gasped before smirking at the content and then continued mumbling.

"enjoying yourself!?" you sighed waiting.

"mkay, done." handed the letter. "nothing between the lines. who wrote this sure is smart enough to not leak their identity."

"that's for me to decide. you ain't the smartest kind." you chuckled.

"hey!"

"more like the pretty girl type."

"you sly thing! you received a love letter, who's the pretty girl again?" both laughed at the statement and headed out to the cafeteria. "not reading it?"

"can't think when i am this hungry. we should hurry."

at the lunchtime the subject was the same. you two were discussing with your mouths full, sitting by yourselves on a table far enough from eavesdropping.

"hear me out. there's this line that seems to be rewritten over and over, it's a bit tattered." you mentioned. "it says: 'i'm still hesitant about what you think about me' and thanks to the pressure they put on paper seems to be 'afraid of who i am' underneath."

"adds a lot of nothing to our investigation. that's what everybody would say in a confession, i mean, nobody likes being dumped." pinky pointed out unfazed.

"yeah but, i don't think it's meaningless, what if this person is truly insecure about themselves." you pondered.

"or they're just ugly." mina chewed on her meal.

"i don't think that's the case... remember when you told me that thing you read about pretty boys' handwriting?" you brought up.

"did you actually believe that!? was just a discussion in a girl's meme forum." the pink one remarked.

"but there's some truth behind it. if you consider that people with a smaller hand can grip on a pen better when writing, also means the ones with big hands tend to have a sloppier handwriting!" you stated confident about your theory.

"girl, you're tripping... does this mean we're going across the school measuring boys' hands?" mina smirked unconvinced.

"precisely."

꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦꒷꒦

"what a fucking waste of time..." said raging.

"dude, calm down. at least you poured your feelings out..." eijiro reassured his bestfriend trying to point out the bright side of things.

but while he's the bright side, katsuki was the dark side. they say a good relationship is based in balance, in this case it makes total sense.

"you even checked if she read it?" asked the red haired.

"when she and mina walked by me at the corridor they were whispering and giggling like little lambs. probably laughing at that letter though." pouted.

"you're being paranoid, they're always like that."

"they're up to something..." bakugo murmured.

whilst the two struggled to put up with the 'plan cupid', the other two were constructing the 'plan pretty boy's handwriting'.

"as i was saying, a pencil has six inches approximately, we're looking for a hand as big at least. if we measure our hands we can compare with theirs without them noticing." stated grabbing a pen off her case.

"you're truly a genius. i refuse to accept you failed strategic test last week." mina complimented.

"i was in a really bad mood that day... anyway!" justified while traced her own hand in a empty page of mina's notebook. "fifteen centimeters. do yours and we're good to go!" demanded agitated.

when looking for friends of theirs, the girls pretended to just have a walk around the school.

"what if it was a girl?" mina asked suddenly.

"i doubt. how many girls with large hands do we know?" claimed.

"mmm... asui-san?"

"you've got to be kidding...!" pulled her phone and dialed quickly a number. "hey!" you smiled. "no, nothing really urgent, i just wanted to ask... are you perhaps in love with me?" questioned without any filter.

"girl you gone mad?" mina whispered holding back a laughter.

"uh, ok. anyways, thank you. we talk later, kisses!" you hung up. "see? that's not her."

"woah you're so straightforward! it scares me sometimes..."

the boys exited the restroom still discussing, but when the blondie heard a certain voice he stepped back. pulled eijiro's tie to hide behind a pillar with him. "shut it!" mouthed.

"i just wanted to ask... are you perhaps in love with me?"

"uh, ok."

his face started to burn as he became more anxious. could only hear a few words, enough to bring the boy into complete state of panic.

after the girls left he released his breath.

"stop overthinking! she just received a love letter, of course she's curious!" kirishima said.

"i didn't say anything, shitty-hair!"

"your face shows!" sighed. "seriously, how can she be so oblivious? just look at you! you're terrible at hiding."

"i- i... she doesn't even talk to me that often..." katsuki pitied.

"bro, you're not the friendliest around here. but she doesn't seem to be afraid of you." kiri pondered. "have you ever tried to smile?"

he looked at the red spiked guy and opened a shy smile.

"a bit more."

every time bakugo tried to put on smiling face it looked creepy. "be more genuine." said eijiro.

trying his best, but even with so much effort... his buddy analyzed. "ok. it looks absolutely terrifying."

"shit."

EAH Dorm Rooms Headcanon pt 1

Apple & Raven's Dorm.

One's a princess who's loyal to her destiny, while the other princess is rebellious and fighting for a cause.

Throughout the series we've seen Apple & Raven's room the most since they're the main characters. but let's dive in a little more.

It's obvious that Raven and Apple have different styles as Raven's style would be associated with the gothic subculture and Apple would be associated with the preppy subculture. Apple's main colors are red, white, and gold (and sometimes pink) and her motifs are apples, bows, and pearls. Raven's main colors are purple, black, and grey/silver (and sometimes turquoises) and her motifs are birds/feathers, chains, and scales. Also, their main colors are Ever After High school's color and their alliances purple for the Rebels and red for the Royals.

Mirrors seem to be one of the things that unites the two girls. Think about it, in the Snow White story it was a magic mirror that told the Evil Queen who was the fairest. Throughout the dorm mirrors are shown on both sides (heck, there're tiny mirrors on Raven's slippers). Throughout history mirrors have been used to reflect what we see and who we want to see. And during the book and web series mirrors have been used during important story lines for example: Headmaster Grimm hearing the Evil Queen laugh, Apple using the mirror net to spy on Raven (consent much?), how the Evil Queen spies on others (Ugh, privacy!), mirrorpads, mirrorphones, mirror prison, the booking glass in Dragon Games, etc. Mirrors are important in the EAH world.

From what is stated on Apple's card (under Apple's side) the room she and Raven share is the largest dorm room (in the girls' dorm) reserved for epic tales. Seeing how the Headmaster plays favorites I'm surprise he didn't give this room to Apple first. But maybe he doesn't assign the rooms and as long as the character is from an epic tale: evil, good, or neutral they can have it!

Apple's side: Apple is a Royal both in alliance and birthright. Apple aspires to be the perfect queen and her dorm room reflects it. Honestly, don't tell me this wasn't the bedroom you wanted when you were five-years-old and in your princess phase.

From what I read in the books Apple's furniture consists of: redwood furniture, canopy, gilded chairs and wardrobe. Only the best for a future queen!

Apple lives and breathes the princess lifestyle and not just because she is one, she works hard for it. She's also very studious as she is one of the few students with the top grades so whenever she's not checking herself in the mirror she is studying, reading, or preparing for future school events.

Apple cares deeply about her looks and her magic talking mirror helps her both in fashion and in confidence. I love the irony that Apple spends more time consulting a magic mirror than Raven.

Though it was never seen in the show Apple did receive a jewelry box similar to Raven's. The jewelry Apple may keep in there are probably pearls, rubies, mini crowns, and apple barrettes since that is what she usually wears.

In the Getting Fairiest line Apple has a nightstand where she places her crown while getting ready for an event or sleeping. It was never shown in the webseries, but we did see Briar's nightstand where she keeps her sunglasses (will show when it's Briar's turn) and them seem to be larger than the toy version.

Apple's Fainting Couch has been seen in a few episodes, sadly we never saw her use it. Which is a bummer because, picture this:

Apple laying on her fainting couch writing in her diary WITH HER GLASSES ON! Suddenly, the door knocks and Apple scrambles to put her glasses in the secret compartment and looking very awkward hiding them. That could've been a running gag, we were robbed of that and seeing Apple in her glasses! Plus, the embroidered apple pillow is so cute!

It wasn't seen during Dragon Games, I'll let it pass since the animators were probably busy and we're human we forget stuff. I also believe that Apple keeps her diary in the storage of the fainting couch.

Seeing how she and Raven have the biggest dorm (in the girls' dorm) of course Apple would have a closet and a dresser to fit all her luxurious clothes. But, sometimes the closet isn't there in some scene. My theory is that since Ever After High School is magical maybe the furniture appears when it is needed, or for example when the student is in the room the windows will appear to bring in some like. Like I said above during the Fainting Couch the animators are busy and the layouts change with each animator.

The vanity was originally Apple's desk which had a bulletin board above it. Again, layout change and the furniture appears when it is needed. I kinda like that Apple has fairy lights seeing how traditional her style is, but see does have a poster of guitar, so she may have a spark to her.

Raven Side: Even before the Rebel movement Raven had a rebellious streak in her. She questioned how her world worked, her story, and herself. Despite Raven's fashion sense matching a traditional fairy tale villain it was her choice to dress that way.

Raven's didn't originally look the way we see it now; Apple (along with Briar) redecorated her side of the dorm to resemble more of an evil queens lair. In the webseries Apple gave Raven an evil throne, an evil crown, and an evil haunted mirror (she may have added the extra mirrors), while in the book Apple put spikes on most of Raven's furniture and gave her a goblin bed sheet set. As nice as Apple was trying to make Raven feel at home, it wasn't right of her to change roommates and go through Raven's things without consent.

One thing that stands out in Raven's room is a white guitar, which gives us the idea that Raven is a music lover. One of my many headcanons is Raven's dad got her into music as a bonding activity between the two and the guitar used to be his before he passed it down to his daughter.

Personally, Raven's is my favorite room design (that we got to see) and if I had the budget, I would remodel my room like hers.

As stated above the room Briar (and Ashlynn) are currently living in the same dorm as Raven's mother (and Cerise's mom). I believe Raven lived in her mother's dorm during freedom year (freshmen year) or will live there her final year, and like many boarding schools/ colleges students don't live in the same room every year.

In the color palette it says imperial gold, but I see black in the color scheme, sure there's 'gold' in the flooring and candlelight, but maybe this was an early idea that the creators had to unite Raven and Apple in a way.

Despite being the future Evil Queen, Raven spends the least amount of time looking at herself in the mirror, gotta love irony. It was also mentioned in the book that Raven tries not to compare herself to Apple since that's what lead to her mother going off-book and vain, so she avoids them.

I believe the wide-eye girl was Brooke, which means besides Maddie and Kitty, she's the only non-Wondelander to see a narrator (lore).

We were able to see the jewelry box when Raven was getting ready for her date in 'Date Night' and an actual was available like Apple's. The jewelry we saw Raven take out of the jewelry box were mainly a silver ring and a chain necklace; so, her jewelry is mainly chains, spikes, and amythest. On the bracelet one of the charms is a potion bottle and Raven does have a potion/ bookcase (can be seen in one of the above images) that I wish we saw in use.

In the getting fairest line Raven has a nightstand where she places her high collars during the night. It wasn't seen in the show, but it's somewhere in her dorm.

We only saw glimpses of Raven's destiny vanity in the webseries. In 'Unfairest of Them All' Raven was heartbroken when Baba Yaga Hut's baby destroyed it., luckily it was rebuilt. The vanity has a built-in keyboard and a brush that looks like or doubles as a microphone. Raven is usually seen with her headphones on, listening to Taylor Quick, playing her guitar, or playing on her keyboard at her vanity. She probably spends more time making music than looking at herself.

Like Apple's diary in her fainting couch I think Raven keeps the books in the vanity's cabinets and reads them when she's alone.

The closet and evil throne (not shown) are only seen in glimpses since furniture appears when it is needed. At first I thought Raven was the only student with a fireplace in her dorm, before we saw 'Epic Winter' on Briar's side of the dorm has a fireplace as well, so I guess each dorm has a fireplace on one side of the room. To keep warm during the cold months and having two fireplaces is a bit much and a fire hazard.

At the beginning of 'Croquet Tastrophe' Apple was first seen in Raven's side of the room for some odd reason. But, wait, Apple has a mug in her hand for some reason. Which made me think Raven owns a coffee machine that she lets Apple use sometimes.

The girls do have a balcony (pretty sure everyone at the school has one) that the girls like to go out to get fresh air during times of stress and peace. In 'Apple's Princess Practice' they have a zipline which I'm pretty sure Briar set up.

Well, that's the first of the dorms, now to the next.

Snow Cherubs & Delayed Deer ⛄️ 🦌

Jily fic Summary:

If you are looking for seasonal vibes: Pining idiots, snowflakes, a hungover stag, posh purebloods, non-existent snowball fights, Black Family vocab...

Inspired by this video of Prongs (in reindeer form but ignore that!!) chasing a train

🎄Start of Christmas Holidays 6th Year🎄

“Ah,” a pause. “How do you do, Evans?”

Sirius Black looked momentarily surprised to see her in their compartment (their personal flipping compartment), along with the other marauders. But his Black Family training had kicked in automatically. Polite stand-offishness.

“Remus and I were on our way back from patrolling this half of the train, so I stopped here for a chat,” Lily said, staring up at him, not even vaguely intimidated. “What happened?”

“Nothing. Nothing at all,” he said with an evasive grin, which was clearly a big, huge lie.

Remus was looking at him sceptically and Sirius cleared his throat.

“Er, Prongs said to tell you lot he’s been… unavoidably… delayed.” He brushed snow off his school jumper and stamped more snow off his shoes, before shaking his wet hair vigorously.

“Arhh! Youh hoaking we, you wankah!” Peter kicked him in the shin.

“Can’t be helped, we were dealing with… important matters.” Sirius smiled at Peter and stole his last ginger biscuit.

“Matters?” Remus repeated, raising an eyebrow.

“Matters.” Sirius glanced from Remus to Lily in silent warning.

“Slytherin matters, of the mini Death Eater variety?” Remus obviously hadn’t gotten the memo.

Sirius’ grin defaulted to the I shall kill you later variety. Remus stared back. He obviously had received the memo, loud and clear, but had chosen to ignore it.

“Not again,” she said, sticking her legs up on the seat in front of her.

Sirius looked at his seat and then at her. She raised her right eyebrow.

“What?”

He raised his left.

“Did I say anything?” he remarked.

“Gods, I wish I could do that with my eyebrows,” Peter sighed despondently.

Sirius shook his head once more, liberally spraying them with slush. Lily looked at him with a puzzled expression.

“What?” He bit into the biscuit.

“Reminds me,” she said. “Of a dog.”

Remus stuck his head inside the newspaper he was reading.

“Really?” Sirius said, blinking innocently.

“The big black one that’s been hanging around the grounds, cute thing,” Lily added, narrowing her eyes. “His eyes are an unusual shade, silver, very similar to yours.”

Peter choked on his own biscuit.

“Oh, the attractive dog? The really popular one, with the sleek —“

But Lily wasn’t paying Sirius any attention.

“What in heaven’s name is that?” she said.

“Could I interest you in a caldron cake?” Peter shoved a box in her direction.

Lily ignored him.

“Remus, why is there a ruddy big stag running after the Hogwarts Express?”

“I don’t see- “

“There, can’t miss it,” she said, pointing out of the window.

There was indeed an ample stag, trotting after them at an increasingly frantic pace.

“What in God’s name is it doing?” she said, staring wide-eyed at him. “It looks almost as if…”

“Almost as if he’s late and missed the last train home for the holidays?” Remus mused from behind The Prophet.

Peter laughed, a touch hysterically, she thought - muttering something about worst secret keepers ever.

The Memento

Platonic Leshy + Subordinates x reader

[Author’s Note: I wanted to make something angsty. Also reader can be seen as a child, teenager, or an adult

⚠️ Reader gets injured and kinda dies]

     Another challenger has come to try and overthrow the Scrybe of Beasts. It had become a routine he was starting to get bored of. It’s been so long since he’s met a challenger he’s fond of. Their faces are starting to blend together within his memory.

This one is no different than the others. The Scrybe’s fingers tapped against the wooden table as they put their grubby hands all over his possessions. He just wants to get this over with as soon as possible but this Challenger knows how to draw things out. Leshy is considering using the bear wall sooner than he usually does. 

The talking cards had told the Challenger that there was one more of them to look for but they already searched every crevice of this cluttered cabin. Where could it be?

The Challenger ends up opening a secret compartment within the wall and after tinkering with yet another complicated puzzle, they are permitted to see inside the mini-safe mounted inside the wall. As expected, it’s another card. 

Oddly enough, this card isn’t an animal. It’s a blacked out silhouette of a person with a smile on their face. Both the power and health on this card is five with the repulsive sigil, meaning that nothing can attack it. The Challenger brings the card closer to their face to read the name at the top:

Y/n

“Have you no respect for other people’s belongings!? This card is not for you to utilize in battle. Return it to me this instant.”

The Challenger has never heard Leshy speak like that, as if he was restraining himself from ripping them to shreds. He’s never really had a problem with them going through his belongings until now. What was so special about this card? 

—————-

The forest had been your home for as long as you could remember. You knew about the dangers that lurked within but you didn’t take them seriously. 

You had been with the others for so long that they had forgotten you weren’t like them. You were a fragile human who was more susceptible to injury and deadly infections from those injuries. 

Now they were all paying for their negligence. 

The various pelts you were bundled in did nothing to stop your shivering, you were a shade paler. Leshy was beyond human but he wasn’t a healer. The only thing him and his subordinates could do was watch as your condition got progressively worse.

You were a fighter, you always had been but this was a battle you couldn’t win. Your mind was getting hazy to the point where sometimes you didn’t even know who your forest family was. 

The Trader dabs the sweat off of your forehead with cloth. The Prospector’s hound refuses to leave the foot of your bed, occasionally letting out soft whines and whimpers. The Trapper sits by your bed as he holds your clammy hand in his. The Angler allows no one to venture into the forest right now but everyone knows he volunteered to be lookout because he couldn’t bear to see you in your final moments, no one could blame him. 

It had been decided amongst the Scrybe and his subordinates that there’s no chance of your condition getting any better. They didn’t want you to suffer anymore so they were going to do the best thing they could think of.

Leshy steps into the room on the side of his cabin. In one hand is an unfinished card and in the other is his legendary camera.

They’re all reluctant but his subordinates step away from you, giving their master space so he could say his proper goodbye. 

He kneels by your bedside, eyes drooping down in a sorrowful expression you never thought you’d see in such an unbreakable being. You turn your head to face him as his hand cups the side of your head. 

“There will never be a challenger as worthy as you. You have inspired me in so many ways. I’ll make sure to honor you.” 

There’s so much you want to say to the cryptid in front of you. You want to tell him how grateful you are to him for taking care of you, treating you as if you were his own. You think about the nights you’ve spent laughing with Leshy and his subordinates underneath the stars. You would ramble to him as he carved another figurine out of wood. 

You were the joy of the forest.

“You need not say anything. I know it’s a struggle.” 

He lowers his head and rests his forehead against yours for a moment. He’s hesitant but he steps away from you with his camera ready. 

“Goodbye, Y/n. You are loved by this forest and the creatures within it.”

It takes you everything you can to muster a smile as you want your death card to reflect the fulfilling life you once lived, even if it was cut short.

[whats-a-human]

demon possession saved my ass

I always put my pendulum and a paper sigil for cleansing it on an unused phone case like a mini "table" to hold them. I was at grandma's and stored these things and other witch supplies in a small bag's secret compartment, but all this stuff looked like trinkets and only the sigil would give away my "witchiness". I also had other "continuous use" sigils that, when I packed to go home, hid inside a pencil case. I didn't put the pendulum one in there because obviously, it should stay with the pendulum in that secret compartment.

When I got home, I took a nap and my intolerant christian mother went through my things and TOOK OUT THE STUFF IN THE SECRET COMPARTMENT. I was mortified when I woke up and, not seeing the sigil among the stuff, thought she threw it away and found out I'm a sorcerer!

But then I opened the pencil case and found all my sigils there, INCLUDING THE PENDULUM ONE. I DID NOT PUT IT THERE.

I quickly did divination with my pendulum and turns out my mom didn't see any sigil, and in fact it was "me" who put the pendulum one in the case. I suspected possession and got a yes. Beelzebub is my patron demon and the other "close" demon to me has never possessed anyone.

I talked to Beelzebub and he confirmed that he possessed me while I slept to hide the sigil.

I love Beelzebub. Hail the Lord of Flies.

Hi ❤️ Any HCs of the boys' lives growing up in the Ministry? Would love to hear what you think! 😍

SAHSHEHE I DO

Primo:

Being the eldest he knows every secret passageway, the hidden compartments behind the confessional boxes, the hidden places in the gardens.

He surprisingly didn’t attended most of the masses that Nihil held because they weren’t accurate

Has the old sisters wrapped around his pinky.

Safe to say he knows the ministry like the back of his hand due to all the exploring he did in his younger years

His room is pristine and clean and rarely anyone enters

Unless it’s Imperator

He spends a lot of time in the garden in his Cardinal years, and then his retirement years to.

Cardinal years are filled with young sisters trying to woo him by asking to learn about flowers, needless to say takes awhile to actually settle in his retirement years

Secondo

Not as knowledgeable as his brother

He has dedicated spots he prays to Lucifer in his room and nobody is allowed to touch it

Now he’s not one for begging but he begs his brother to show him around the secret passages.

Primo caves and now he knows about all emergency exists

He spends little time outside because that’s his older brothers domain.

Very few sisters of sin actually pine over Secondo (unless you count my oc)

Terzo

Unlike his two older brothers he doesn’t care about secret passages, but he finds out about the one behind the confessional when he and a sister of sin have a very heated make out session.

He was very popular among the ghoulettes and sisters of sin in both his Cardinal and Papa days.

He was a menace, setting up pranks when he was younger

His bedroom is a complete mess, he refuses to tidy it so they hire a cleaner to do it when he’s on tour.

Of course, no matter what he does his Prime Mover and future wife is by his side.

They met when they were five

(Both were fucking menaces)

He would often try be sneaky at night when he went to meet the ghoulettes, but he was often caught by his lover and she joined the fun

Copia

I like to think Copia wasn’t born at the ministry. Instead he turned up on the doorstep when he was around 1-2 years old.

It was hard being the youngest, specially with very teasy brothers

Terzo was the worst for making Copia cry when he was younger, and often Copia would hide in the secret passageway doors whenever he saw Terzo (when they were younger anyway)

His young Cardinal years were very strange to say the least

Nihil took him under his wing despite seeming to hate him, not giving him a very stable family (no surprise there)

Copia also feels like because of his older brothers achievements he has to do just as good.

His room is very childish, there’s is a mini fridge in the corner packed with juice boxes and jello

You have to be very special to take his juice boxes and NoT die

He also has a tendency to stay up late into the night because of his fear of Terzo popping a balloon of cold water over his head again like he did when he was 4

Covert mission CLASSIFIED || James & Natalia @scinglives

Mission: Operation Julius

She got a called from Director Fury, sending her coordinates to an unnamed location on her interpol and he was also sending James Barnes with her. By now, they come in pairs, one his best assets and ever since the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. it was difficult to trust and do the job right.

The redhead was in the living room, reaching on the couch to take the cushions off to grab her backpack for this mission, like a true spy, she got these all around her safe house and apartment just in case they were on a time crunch. Swinging the backpack over her left shoulder, resetting the cushions back on the couch as she headed over to the mini back, reaching in the back of the bottles of alcohol to press a button which operations the other wall to a secret compartment, and that leads to her room of weapons on whom she shared with James. Taking a few steps down the stairs as she gave herself a smirk, seeing already picking up a few into his duffle bag. "Just like old times." she spoke, resting the backpack on the stainless steel counter and walked over to where he was sitting. Her arms wrapping around his neck and reaching for a kiss on his cheek. "Shall we take my car or yours this time?"

Scoobtober Day 1: Snacks

One of the first things people ever learn about Shaggy is that he always has snacks on him. Always. Breakfast bars and cheerios in his pockets. Mini sandwiches in the first aid kit. Whole charcuterie plates in the Mystery Machine’s secret compartments. (The ones Fred doesn’t know about at least.)  He can make a full meal only out of stuff you find at the nearest gas station. But Daphne has to hold onto the Scooby snacks because Shaggy is smart enough that he doesn’t have that much self-control.

One of the first things Shaggy learns about people is their favourite snack. Fred mentions his off-handedly on a late-night stakeout. S’more bars because they remind him of summer camp. A few bars appear in Shaggy’s pockets beside the cheerios, and he manages to keep one under his hat. Velma shares hers with him over a Poodle Justice marathon. Pita chips, because they’re not messy or sticky and they’re a family favourite. Shaggy clears out one charcuterie compartment and adds a couple bags of pita chips. There’s also one in the first aid kit, sandwiched between the gauze and the mini sandwiches. He deduces Daphne’s from her snack choices on movie night. Grapes, the green ones specifically because they always had them backstage when she did her pageants and she used to sneak a couple when no one was looking . This one is harder to stock - but it’s surprisingly (and somewhat worryingly) easy to make the van’s glove compartment climate controlled. 

Shaggy figures out Scooby’s favourite a little after bringing him home. He can’t shake the feeling that there’s something wrong with the store-bought treats his dad buys (he’ll later find out the company got sued over the treats not being good for the dogs) so he does some research and tries to make his own. He burns the first batch. He tries one from the second batch and then vomits. He goes through trial and error (lots and lots of errors) for a year before perfecting them. They’re amazing, and Scooby says they taste like home. The first batch also tasted slightly like blood because Scooby said his first english words while Shaggy was chewing and he bit his tongue. 

And Shaggy? Shaggy’s favourite snack is Scooby snacks. And s’more bars. And pita chips. And green grapes. Shaggy thinks that the s’more bars taste like mystery they solved at Fred’s old camp and the pita chips remind him of how warm Ms. Dinkley’s hugs are and the shine on the green grapes makes him think of the mischievous look in Daphne’s eyes. And Scooby snacks taste like home. 

Snacks can be a love language, can’t it?

Fucking.

Old car. Old tires. Bad traction.

Raining. Water everywhere. Puddles on puddles. Mini lakes.

Me? Late to work. In a rush. In my rush, miss my turn. Need to make a u-turn.

Go to spot. There is a car on the far side of the street i am turning on to, but not my side. Think, "If i can make this turn tight enough, i can slip by & not have to wait 5 minutes."

Make the turn too tight. I eat the curb, ≈ 3ft. Still late, "I'll check the tires after work."

8.75 hours later. I am a different person. I don't even remember this happened. Just want to go home. Start driving, tire unchecked. Car immediately goes "Ca-thunk, ca-thunk, ca-thunk." I instantly remember what happened. Ohshit.jpeg. i pull over

I know that the trunk only has a basket of misc stuff, no tire. (But do I know that?) I am looking for any way to fix this without it beign a huge affair -- "Will uber deliver me a tire?" "Will [insurance] help me?" "Can I make it to the nearest tire place -- is there even a tire place open at 11pm?"

Call [insurance]. They say they can tow me home, but can't fix it. No cost, due to how close I am to home.

The dudes are nice. I realize I don't have my ID. It has fallen out of my bag (broken zipper). They tell me that the tire is gone, & the rim looks bad. I can also see that the hub cap has busted, like somebody took a slice out of it, as if it were a pie.

Get home. "Hey, [incorrect name], what happened?" "I'll tell you in the morning."

Morning. Hire tow truck to drive me to [nearby tire place]. $99. "Shit. I hope I'll have enough in my acct to cover this."

Tow guy won't take me w/ car, whatever. I don't have my ID, so I ask [family member who owns insurance], "Can you show tow guy your ID?" "NO, WHY WOULD I DO THAT" "??" He doesn't need ID. Cool

He tows off car. I cann [nearby tire place], "hey, my car is being towed to you guys rn." "Okay, what's your number?" "[My number]." They don't recognize it, so I go to tell them [family member who owns insurance]'s number, they transfer me. "Okay, what's your number?" "[My number] (again)." "Okay. See you when you get here." "??"

Go inside. "Hey, [incorrect name], what happened?" I explain. "Well, why didn't you use the spare?" WHAT SPARE.

Turns out, the trunk had a secret compartment with a jack & a spare tire the entire time, which would have carried me 1) home, so that i didn't have to wait until midnight to be picked up, &, 2), to [nearby tire place], so I didn't have to pay $99 to get towed.

Either way, wouldn't be able to drive to work. Need to wait for a rim to be sent to [nearby tire place], which won't be cheap & will take at least a day (meaning I need people to drive me to my 10pm-6am shifts...)

Creating a Discreet DIY Altar: Hidden Magic for the Secret Witch

｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

For many of us, practicing witchcraft can be a deeply personal and sometimes secretive endeavor. Whether it's because of concerns about privacy, living with non-witchcraft-friendly folks, or simply preferring to keep your magical practices hidden, it's possible to create a discreet DIY altar that's both functional and concealed from prying eyes.

｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

Selecting a Hidden Space:

The first step is to choose a location where your discreet altar will remain concealed. Consider areas like inside a closet, a drawer, or even a decorative box that can be tucked away when not in use. The key is to pick a spot that you can easily access while keeping it hidden when necessary.

Altar Essentials for a Hidden Altar:

Altar Cloth or Scarf: Start by using a beautiful scarf or fabric square that you can easily fold and store away.

Portable Items: Opt for small, portable items that can be discreetly tucked into a hidden space. These can include a mini candle, a small vial of water, a small dish of salt, and a compact incense holder.

Altar Tile: A small, discreet altar tile or pentacle that can be slipped into your drawer or box is a great addition.

Miniature Tools: Consider using miniature versions of your tools, like a tiny wand or athame, which can easily be concealed.

Foldable Altar Furniture: If you have the space, a foldable altar table or tray is a great addition. You can set it up when needed and fold it away afterward.

Pendulum: A pendulum is an inconspicuous divination tool that can be easily hidden when not in use.

Written Spells or Grimoire: Keep a discreet, compact notebook or grimoire for writing down your spells and experiences.

Creating the Hidden Altar:

Set up the Altar Cloth: Place your altar cloth or scarf on your chosen surface, whether it's a foldable table or the bottom of your box.

Position the Tools: Arrange your portable items on the cloth. Remember, it doesn't have to be elaborate; simplicity can be just as powerful.

Create a Hidden Compartment: In your drawer or box, you can create a secret compartment beneath the altar cloth where you can store your tools and supplies. This way, everything remains discreetly hidden.

Cover and Conceal: When you're not using your altar, simply fold up the cloth or close the box, and your magic is safely tucked away from prying eyes.

Maintaining Secrecy:

Maintaining your secrecy is essential. Be mindful of your timing and surroundings when you perform your magical work. Make sure to store your tools, close your altar, and conceal it thoroughly when you're done.

Conclusion:

A discreet DIY altar is a clever way to honor your craft while respecting your need for privacy. Remember that the power of your practice lies within you, and your magical intent is not dependent on the visibility of your altar. So, whether you practice in the open or behind closed doors, may your hidden altar be a source of strength and inspiration on your enchanting journey. 🌟🕯️🔮

ROTTEN IF UR IN KADE AND MADDOX FEELS. PLS TELL. WHAT IS THEIR STORY

Ok here goes!

Kade Pax was a normal person, small in stature but good at baseball until a construction site accident crushed most of their body. Doctors were able to save them with a rushed prosthetic job, but they were left with medical debt they couldn't hope to pay. With no other option, they agreed to work for the all powerful IRIS organization as a free intern until they could pay off the costly prosthetics.

They were assigned to Dr. Maddox Atlan who was working on a 'secret' IRIS project. The doctor, or Dox as he came to be called, was a brilliant technical mind with a few... unusual personality quirks and literal closet kinks. Kade couldn't afford to quit though so they tough it out despite his tendencies to tease them relentlessly. A sexual relationships forms between the grumpy mini jock and the dysfunctional super nerd. Feelings arise even though neither would ever EVER admit to it. Dox continues working on his project night and day. It's almost complete when something happens.

Kade wakes up in their tiny apartment (think capsule hotel) with no memory of anything after their accident. No memory of working for IRIS and no memory of Dox. The chip behind their ear that keeps their body functioning with the prosthetics has been hacked and wiped clean. They go about their life of poverty, scavenging tech scraps in the outer circle of the waste lands to get by.

Some time later

Kade has used the last of their credits to purchase groceries for the week when some random synthetic runs into them, literally knocking them off their feet. They can hear sirens in the background but that doesn't matter. Their last chance for a meal has been ruined. Enraged, Kade chunks a piece of bruised fruit at the synthetics head. He turns and moves towards them with killing intent. He's not like any robot they have ever seen before, but Kade isn't one to back down. Before he can strike a blow, the cops slide into view and the synthetic takes off. Kade finds a USB on the ground and figures maybe they can make some money off of it at least. They take it back to their apartment but it's encrypted far beyond their hacking capabilities. Discouraged, they toss it on their desk and forget all about it.

Later that night, the robot crashes through their single apartment window. Kade grabs their bat from bedside but they are easily overwhelmed. At the threat of bodily harm they agree to give the synthetic his USB but as a final fuck you they give him a blank instead. Or so they think. The USB actually contains pictures they planned to sell to a cyborg fetish magazine in a desperate attempt to make enough credits to eat. Since their food rations were destroyed and all.

(It should be noted here that in the cyber world acid rain falls constantly. The air has to be filtered through masks when outside and resources are scarce. The war with robots has already happened but humanity won. Synthetics are second class service citizens and cyborgs are fetishized or pity cases. There is a new growing trend of augmentation for status or beauty, but the robotics war is too recent for most to fully embrace)

The sleek synthetic takes the USB from Kade and makes a break for it as the cops descend on their apartment and take them into custody. Kade manages to hide the robots USB in a hidden compartment underneath their tongue. After hours of interrogation, Kade meets another one of my OC's, Detective Eno Corin. He's been trailing the killer Red Eye on his murderous rampage. He doesn't think Kade is in league with him, but can't pinpoint exactly why he was in their apartment. Kade almost comes clean about the USB, but IRIS agents barge in and take over the investigation. They are less than gentle to Kade.

Frustrated, Detective Corin returns to the apartment and finds nothing. He goes back to the precinct not realizing Red Eye has hitched a ride on the underside of his hover cruiser. Carnage ensues and Red Eye manages to escape with Kade.

And that's the history between Kade and Maddox. He gets the USB and Kade reluctantly ends up with a murderous, tormenting boyfriend who just so happens to be made of parts from their deceased forgotten lover.

Unlocking Elegance: The Allure of Sliding Door Wardrobes

In the ever-evolving landscape of interior design, sliding door wardrobes have emerged as a silent revolution. These unassuming yet highly functional pieces of furniture have transformed the way we organize our living spaces. Let’s delve into the world of sliding door wardrobes, exploring their mechanics, design versatility, and the art of maximizing storage.

The Mechanics Behind the Magic

Sliding door wardrobes operate on a simple yet ingenious mechanism. Instead of swinging open like traditional hinged doors, they glide smoothly along a track system. This design eliminates the need for extra clearance space, making them ideal for compact rooms. Imagine a wardrobe that doesn’t encroach on your precious floor area—a true space-saving marvel!

Design Versatility: A Canvas for Creativity

Sliding door wardrobes are not just functional; they’re also a canvas for creativity. Homeowners can choose from an array of finishes, colors, and materials. Whether you prefer a sleek minimalist look or a more ornate style, these wardrobes adapt effortlessly. From mirrored panels that create an illusion of space to wood textures that exude warmth, the possibilities are endless.

Maximizing Storage: A Place for Everything

Organization enthusiasts rejoice! Sliding door wardrobes are masters of storage optimization. Customizable compartments, shelves, and hanging spaces ensure that every item finds its designated spot. No more rummaging through cluttered shelves—these wardrobes bring order to chaos. Whether it’s neatly folded clothes, shoe collections, or accessories, everything has its place.

Innovations That Elevate the Experience

Technology has lent its magic touch to sliding door wardrobes. Soft-closing mechanisms ensure that doors glide silently, sparing us the abrupt clatter. Integrated lighting systems illuminate our treasures, turning the wardrobe into a mini boutique. Imagine selecting your outfit in a softly lit space—it’s the little luxuries that make life delightful.

Sustainability Matters

As conscious consumers, we seek sustainable solutions. Many sliding door wardrobes are crafted from eco-friendly materials. Their durability ensures they stand the test of time, reducing the need for replacements. Investing in quality furniture that aligns with our planet’s well-being is a step toward responsible living.

The Inclusive Language of Wardrobes

Let’s talk about pronouns. Sliding door wardrobes don’t say “I” or “me.” Instead, they embrace “us” and “our.” They invite us to organize, to create, and to find joy in simplicity. Inclusive language extends beyond words—it’s a philosophy that resonates with these functional companions.

Veneto where Function Meets Beauty

Now, let’s address the elephant in the room—the brand. Vento.co.in seamlessly blends functionality and aesthetics. Their sliding door wardrobes are more than furniture; they’re statements.

From Toi to Manyoung🧡 she got him the photo album and these desktop vacuum cleaners because she thought they might be of use to him (and let us not forget the cute acorn necklase) (this one has a little frog in it, but Toi can get him one that doesn't have anything inside and is just clear or with a hidden compartment, whatever Manyoung prefers)

From Sage to Sungri💜 what if matching bracelets! (whichever one he likes more)
