In which Chiara reflects on a painting (and I do a bit of Menix exposition xD)
Tumblr media
Chiara chokes in her next breath when she finally finds herself able to breathe. It's her poison right there - In oils or acrylics? Doesn't matter. Could be a proper window for all she knew -, glorious and pearly, breaking her heart in sharp-edged little pieces.
Badeea had all good intentions when she called her and other Hufflepuffs she found idly wandering the halls together to give their fair opinion and feelings on her art. She was to select a few to submit to an independent gallery of young talents in hopes of securing patrons and commissioners for the years beyond Hogwarts.
And, of course, Chiara was happy to help, she had seen a fair share of Badeea's art over the years and had always appreciated her talents, an ability not seen like it in anyone else their age, an artistic passion unmatched.
And of course, Witch in Velvet is mysterious, a painting Aspen had posed for in blood-red velvet drapes and done a good job of it with her sharp stare and ice-blue eyes. And certainly Birth of a Phoenix was to be picked, as the piece took her several weeks of watching Fawkes die and be reborn, flames moving as if real fire burned the canvas. Not to mention the mastery in detail from Dumbledore's still portrait whose eyes followed you in youthful melancholy regardless of where you stood before it.
So the piece before which Chiara stands shouldn't be anything special, not even Badeea wanted to place it there, but she felt important to include them all. A simple navy blue sky glittering with stars, accurate constellations of almost microscopic attention to detail, and on the forefront, a full sumptuous moon emanating shine so real it reflects on one's face.
And right now it's Chiara's tears reflecting said light, unable to remain unshaken, unable to look away.
She only notices Phoenix's presence when he already has his arm assuringly around her shoulders.
"Hey, it's okay."
She wipes her cheeks clean of tears even when more fall on their wake. "To think I'll never be to cherish a beautiful full moon."
"It's always so far in real life. This... this is pretty close to the real thing. Even prettier I'd say."
Perhaps romantic, she would've liked to add, looking at his ever-so-perfect profile and his thin golden curls in harmonious framing. Phoenix had always been enthralling and kind, but his heart never belonged to her, even the one time they kissed.
In fact, she's pretty certain the holder of said heart's eyes are boring holes on her back even without the need for Chiara to look. Ismelda had been walking with them when Badeea caught them, hand in hand with Phoenix. It was still a difficult sight to get used to but he wanted to acclimate both her and his friends to her presence and personality.
But even with the encouragements and evolution in friendliness, it'd be right out insane to get too friendly with him.
So she taps him on the shoulder and casually pulls herself away. "I'm quite alright now, Pheny. Thanks."
He nods, then lowers his voice as he continues. "You know you don't have to go through it alone. I know I'll never be able to solve your problems, but it might help to talk about your feelings."
"Indigo does plenty of that with me."
He smiles and nods knowingly. "Yes. But with somebody who experiences something... a little similar. Though not as frequent as yours, my transformations are never due to anything pleasant."
"Certainly not."
She dares a glance around the gallery and have her suspicions disappointingly confirmed with the side stare of dark green eyes on a starkly pale face.
She turns back to him quickly. "May I ask you something? Does she know?"
"Of my condition? Yes, of course. I wouldn't tag anyone along in ignorance of one of the core aspects of my existence. All my life it's been Indigo helping me through my moods, but I understand we'll eventually part and I have hopes of having her assistance in the future instead. I know it's a lot to ask, to expect, but I wouldn't ask if I didn't think she loved me and I know she does."
Chiara almost feels her face heat up at the exposure of his vulnerability, at the lightness with which he speaks of it. To hope someone would share the burden of being other, being dangerous and unstable. To hope for someone sturdy enough to hold her down.
"Must be nice, trusting it to someone like that. Being seen and understood. Being wanted so badly and lovingly, they're willing to go through the bad days."
He takes her hand and looks in her teary eyes. "Hey, look at me, you'll find that person. Chiara, you're a lovely girl with an unbelievably kind heart. Someone will make you braver and stronger through love."
She laughs, albeit a bit nervously. "Your words are touching and heartwarming, but please..." And tugs lightly at her hand. "People are looking."
He drops it immediately. "Forgive me, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."
"Oh, it's not you." She can't help glancing at Ismelda who looks away immediately. She thinks her glance to be quick, but Phoenix easily follows her path of sight.
He laughs musically and loudly, and her face burns with anticipation of his next move.
"Please!" He strides to Ismelda and pulls her into the conversation clumsily, even reluctantly she allows herself to be pulled. He wraps an arm around her shoulders. "Don't be fooled, this one wouldn't hurt a fly."
Ismelda doesn't hide her scowl nor her full face blushing. "Phoenix! You done besmirching my reputation? It's bad enough I date you of all people."
"What about dating me?"
She brushes the hair not covering her eye behind her ear. "You're the human equivalent of a buttery scone."
He grins charmingly. "At least I'm tasty, wouldn't you say?"
Chiara chuckles. "Can't argue with that."
"But not useful when one is trying to set a precedent of intimidation and respect."
"I think dating me makes you even more intimidating."
Almost reflexively Chiara finds herself nodding. "And we were just talking now."
"She knows."
"Do I?"
"Yes, you were looking."
"You looked cozy."
"Sorry, I'll make sure to look stiff and uncomfortable next time we talk."
She rolls her eyes but before she could utter a retort, Badeea approaches them to Chiara's relief.
"You guys seem to have taken a liking for this one. A candidate for the exposition?"
"I'd say so," Chiara responds.
"It's on the simpler side, for you that is," Phoenix says waving his hand, "but it's so sublime and realistic. Speaks of your sensibilities, not to mention your astronomical knowledge. This would make professor Sinistra cry with joy."
She holds her face as a smile spreads on her lips. "Ah, thanks, Phoenix. I require your poetic insight in all of the pieces, can you do it?"
"Of course."
And now, to Chiara's mortification, Badeea loops her arm around his elbow and takes him with her to look at the rest of her work.
She slowly looks in Ismelda's direction not looking her in the eyes. "Hey, I was trying to-"
Ismelda's looking at the painting. "I know."
"Oh, good."
"No, I know about your... condition."
Her eyes widen. "How do you..."
"It wasn't Phoenix, don't worry. Let's just say I know more than people think I do."
"I trust you haven't told anyone else."
"Not even he knows that I know. But I knew that he did." She turns to Chiara. "I'm not telling anyone, it'd be hypocritical of me, Phoenix being who he is. I think it's cool actually. Your type is very vicious, which is almost comical looking at you."
"Why?"
"You're frail and girly."
Chiara scoffs. "And you're certainly strong and vicious."
"I don't have to be. That's what wands are for." She balances her wand between her fingers swift and smoothly. "I respect your friendship with him and your special understanding, but I hope you don't try anything."
"And I hope you stop threatening me or I'll tell him myself."
Ismelda narrows her eyes. "Not a threat, just a warning."
"Same goes for you. You're not the only person that knows more than they should." She turns away from the painting, but before she leaves she looks at Ismeld one last time. "For the sake of my friendship with Phoenix, I hope we can be friends one day."

Hi
I'm just wondering what do you think of this https://www.tumblr.com/strangeshadowdreamer/701190776033509376/venom-eddie-phenylethylalanine?source=share
Hi! Wow, thanks for the question, I've never thought I actually receive one about anything at all! :D
Well, as much as you're quite right about mentioning pheny(le)thylamine found in brains and chocolate ('cause I found this info pretty often, too, and also @guessimabasicnerdgirlnow showed me they used phenethylamine/phenylethylamine in comics-verse as such), my own small research proves that phenylethylalanine actually exists, but it's just probably a bit more complex compound than the former one. So I assume that if Sony!Venom needs it per se and it's kinda way more complex thing to get, then it explains why Eddie can't just buy bunch of supplements instead of having almost non-ending debates about Venom's special diet.
Upd: I just took a new look through this and found that phenylethylalanine is an originating amino acid (chapter 1.2.1 Chemical Structure of Amino Acid and Biogenic Amines) for β-phenylethylamine, so I guess I was right assuming that phenylethylalanine is harder to get in such sufficient amounts as supplements to keep Venom's hunger at bay. I guess, it also means that direct absorbing even in small quantity works a little better for Venom rather than taking some kind of substitutes. He was managing, after all, even if complained immensely (which, to be honest, he has all his right to do).
Plus, I just have to mention, I lately found lots of (maybe repeating themselves in a way) arcticles like "Chocolate’s chemical charm", "Why Does Chocolate Make Us Happy?", "Interesting Facts about Chocolate" & etc where authors use phenylethylalanine to describe one of the components affecting and improving mood and stuff.
In "Chocolate's chemical charm" they actually say that phenylethylalanine's concentration in chocolate is pretty low (which, btw, also could explain why Venom is still extremely hungry after consuming tons of chocolates):
>> Phenylethylalanine, which promotes feelings of attraction, excitement, giddiness and apprehension, has also been isolated in chocolate, but again, its low concentration may be insufficient to produce the effects typically associated with this compound.
Phenethylamine/Pheny(le)tylamine is more popular and easier to get information about, though, that's true.

Now that the story's over, since I remember more than a few people asking about this before, how would a Fen-Pax swap AU have gone?
Oh yeah, that old question!
So my thoughts are a little faint on this, mostly because I haven't thought about it in a long time, but I have some small ideas:
Fen could go two ways - he could either experiment on himself and fuck up hard enough to shatter his body, leaving barely anything for his mask to stick to, or he could do the same as Pax and create life out of concepts until he was a shell of his former self. The first one would have a hard time justifying how Seeker came about, though she could still be made by Pax and, out of her own curiosity, wander into Fen's shut-off world to see where her creator's brother is. The second would have Seeker be a direct creation of Fen, but she'd likely have a different name. I think Fen's way better at naming than his brother. "Practitioner", really, Christ.
The Fen-post-memory-explosion, or the Pheny (phony, Fen-y...I'm sorry, that was the best I could do, I'll see myself out), would likely not have his stutter in the same manner regular Fen does, because, as I've said before, that stutter is sourced from a million thoughts trying to get out of his mouth at once. Whereas him without most of himself...he'd probably only cut off sentences with long pauses before changing topics. He'd have quite a fucked-up body, regularly deforming it and bits of it floating off without his direct consent. It'd be more disturbing than Impaxter, I think.
The last thing I remember is that the Family would struggle hard on this problem, whichever case we go with. Pax is the leader, sure, but Fen is the baby, and someone they're all incredibly fond of. There'd be a lot of guilt on Pax's part that he didn't see this coming and didn't stop it from happening. Seeker would still come to care for Fen (as she would in any universe, alternate or otherwise), but it'd take a little longer and she'd have to see him as himself to cement that.
That's all I got, sorry. Hope that was fun to read, at least!

Russia Deals with Other Islamist Risk Along with Region Bombing.
Storage space devices which possess electrical energy and also other accessories matched inside all of them develop a suitable work environment. There is nothing at all inappropriate in acquiring in the exact same store, yet the shop manager will enhance the price of the uniform as well as it is really challenging to purchase the outfit for bad moms and dads, they are straining a whole lot to buy it. Whenever you are actually buying craft products on-line as well as regardless of which companies you make a decision to patronize, the significant trait is actually that you are sure of exactly what you really want. I can not pay for the pricey rates which they are presently costing the unusual delightful store on a regular basis. Mattel likewise sells a large variety of labels consisting of Barbie, Hot Tires, Creature High, Matchbox, Dwarfs, BabyGear, and American Gal. If you would rather use a blossomy aroma compared to a citrus fragrance, Kauf-wert.de Moringa is actually most definitely The Body system Outlet item for you. 2 from the well-liked limited 1; 18 Hot Tires Elite series' are the 'Ferrari in Music' as well as 'Cult Classics' The popular music set includes singers' and also rappers' Ferrari's, featuring Jamiroquai's Jay Kay's Black Ferrari Enzo. After thinking the above, you must have the ability to find the word that explains your shop. Add to that they are simple to put on, and also it is actually no wonder they are actually so prominent with adolescents. Tired along with her life as a mistress, that had not been long before she would certainly come close to Balsan with a business recommendation; she would like to open a hat and boutique in Paris. Not merely does PriceSmart offer branded items, yet that likewise possesses a preferred signature line. The espresso technique from brewing, which was actually perfected by Italy, pressures warm water through a finely grinded coffee bean, making a quite sturdy coffee remedy. In an average chain store you will definitely find a particular thing to be marketed in lots of while in an emporium there is actually only one from each kind. You ought to be actually looking for yet another model if you see a diverter valve in the very hot tubs that badly interrupts the flow from water. You can easily purchase nearly everything internet, as well as you may also discover one thing online that you can never locate in stores where you are actually typically used to go. You can easily find all the leading brand names here. Both pheni and khajla - which appears like a significant around kachoris - are actually dipped in very hot milk as well as left behind overnight, to become taken in at sehri - the pre-dawn food Muslims have before beginning their quick.

Guess who started watching dunmeshi
Shes like a partially domesticated werewolf and she's a druid :D
Her fit is not made for adventuring but she's in her wolf form most of the time so it doesn't matter too much. Might design some armor for her wolf form tho
