MILAN VINCA FOR @awkwardwhims YEARN FOR FERN BC
Name: Milan Vinca (pronounced MEE-lawn; he has the Slavic name that means kind/loving and isn’t named after Milan, Italy)
Age: Young Adult
Pronouns: He/Him
Traits: Horse Lover, Goofball, Loner
Aspiration: Championship Rider
Career: Unemployed in-game but wants to become a professional horse rider someday
Likes: Blues and ranch music, the colors orange and brown, horse riding, silly behavior (comedy, jokes, pranks, potty humor), affection, funny people, nature enthusiasts, pet enthusiasts, rascals, homebodies, arid locations, and wide open spaces
Dislikes: Small talk, pessimists, and arguments/argumentative people
___
Biography: Milan was born in San Myshuno to a single father who had a little oopsie when hooking up with a woman one night… However, he wasn’t the only oopsie. Milan has an older half-brother, named Amias, who is only 6 months older than him because he too was an oopsie after a hook-up. His father moved him and his brother out to Oasis Springs when they were toddlers, and it was here that Milan discovered his love for the desert and horses. He has loved horses since he was a child and has always wanted to own his own country home in the desert with lots of land so he can ride into the sunset every day. Eventually Milan and his family moved into a smaller home in coastal San Sequoia, where he spent his teen years. During this time he missed the desert of Oasis Springs and was impatient to return, but as if it was destiny, his father met horse trainer Sienna Grove and began dating her. The two became exclusive and after Amias moved out, his father and Milan moved to Sienna’s residence in Chestnut Ridge, where he currently resides. His father is now currently engaged and Milan is close to his future step-mother for their similar interests and the fact that he gets to live with her horse Flapjack.
Personality: Besides being a horse-lover, Milan is a goofball. He loves jokes of any kind, even mischief, and this stems from growing up in a lax boys-only family. In-game they all of the jokesters family dynamic with each other. However, Milan is the introverted one of the family (loner) and likes to primarily stick with people he knows, which makes it hard for him to branch out and meet new people. His preference for horses over people also tie into this, but with his family members busy building families of their own (his father marrying Sienna and his brother Amias just having his first child with his new wife), it may be time for Milan to meet someone new.
Fun facts:
He has a very diverse ancestry. He can trace his ancestry to Europe, Africa, India, Asia, and Latin America.
Since they’re only 6 months apart, he and Amias are close enough in age to have been apart of the same year in school, but their father kept them a grade apart so they could be separated and be allowed to make other friends besides each other
He’s a Sagittarius
As a horse guy, he'd totally obsess over Derby
His brother Amias is a famous actor, so Milan has a little notoriety for being his brother
Milan comes from my legacy family (that I don’t share on simblr bc I like having a family to play privately). He is a spare and is from generation 5 (Amias is the heir). As such, he is related to other sims I’ve submitted to people. He is the grandson of Marcella Vinca and the great nephew of Cylene Vinca (both seen here with Marcella on left and Cylene on right)
Once again, he is not named after the city in Italy. He has the Slavic name. He has this name because the Vinca’s have a naming convention in which the heir’s children’s names correspond to that heir’s generational theme. For example, his father (the gen 4 heir) was a serial romantic and dated a lot of people, so Milan’s name and his brother’s name each have meanings related to love.

Linnea and Melaine York....
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It was with the assistance of the Grayson brothers that finally, the magic bond that each sister fought to have control of was now tied off.
Melaine, after greedily wanting all the magic, blinded and furthered by the incapulsating feeling of being all powerful saw the pain she had caused her older sister.
She knew it was time to let go, and when asked, she made sure to let Linnea have a larger share.
Neither Linnea or herself could ever explain how the magic had found the redhead as a child, but it had, and only Melaine could have brought the calm back.
Linnea recharged, feeling the magic moving through her blood felt it settle and become one with her.
The great fracture between the York sisters would not be remedied, not today, maybe never, yet for now, Linnea's focus returned to Arbor, where she felt a call, from Silas and knew something was a miss.
Gathering herself and releasing her sister's hands, Linnea glanced to Eric, "When can we return to Arbor?"

Two of a kind
[Oasis]
Neo:*walking* Adam! You around here? Pleased say yes and I didn’t come out here for nothing!? Adam!?
....
Neo:(Where could this man possibly be? Not like he can walk around anywhere he wants.) *knocking on door* A-
???:Can you stop screaming?
14yo Sienna: *opens door* This is a desert. You don’t have to talk so loud.
Neo:Oh hey, I remember you. Finally speaking full sentences again I see. And after all that work I spent teaching you how to sign.
Sienna:.....
Sienna:Who are you again?
Neo:Ummm Neo? N-E-O. I work with your dad and watched over you sometimes when you were small. Well, smaller.
Sienna:I’m almost your height.
Neo:Still tiny. Cannot believe you don’t remember me. Though, you were a bit in pieces back then. Things were bound to slip through the cracks.
Sienna:You....look familiar at least. I think. Adam definitely says your name a bunch.
Neo:Praising my work is he? *smiles*
Sienna:More like constant groaning about your dilly dallying? Whatever that means.
Neo:What!? I’m his best member and he complains about how I do things.
Sienna:I’m pretty sure he told me you’re number four. Five counting himself. Six counting Bla-
Neo:Okay! Okay! That’s enough jabs kiddo. Where is the guy anyways?
Sienna:Fishing with Jael. Mom is out getting side dishes for dinner. I actually managed to go to sleep for once until a voice started screaming...it was a nice hour while it lasted.
Neo:Hehehe, my bad. Well, can I come in and wait?
Sienna:.....
Neo:*pouts*...
Sienna:Isn’t that trick suppose to be the other way around?
Neo:When you’re cute it doesn’t matter.
Sienna:*folds ears and pouts* Please get off my porch.
Neo:.....
Sienna:......
Neo:Ugh, fine. I’ll just wait by the oasis. I want to give him my report and go home already. *walking away*
Sienna:You did a mission?
Neo:Yep.
Sienna:.....Was it cool? *wiggles ears*
Neo:I was undercover in an up and coming terroist orginization for a month. So yeah, pretty cool.
Sienna:Wow....how do you do that?
Neo:Do what?
Sienna:Be around dangerous people for so long?
Neo:That’s easy sweetie. I’m dangerous myself. I have been my whole life. Most people can’t tell though which makes it better. I’m just another pretty girl to most.
Sienna:I can tell. That you’re dangerous I mean. Also a bit unhinged.
Neo:Oh can you now? *looks at her*
Sienna:Yeah, it’s the eyes.
Neo:Different colors have you on edge?
Sienna:Not that. Your eyes...remind me of mine.
Neo:.......
Sienna:I’ve hurt people too, when I’m scared. Cornered like an animal. My heart starts to pound....
Neo:Then the only thing that matters is living pass that moment?
Sienna:Y...Yeah. Exactly. If it weren’t for Adam then even that might not have been possible.
Neo:.....You wanna know a secret? We aren’t quite the same. *walks back to her*
Sienna:How so?
Neo:You found the warmth of others far faster than I did. Not only that. *rubs Sienna’s face* I don’t think I was half as tough as you are when I was your age. Nowhere near as beautiful either. You’re quite the looker aren’t you? It’s a real talent to look so graceful while holding trauma.
Sienna:*red* I’m pretty?
Neo:Of course! Has that fuddy duddy parent of yours never told you?
Sienna:They say it, it’s just weird to hear someone else say it. Especially with rings under my eyes.
Neo:Pfft. Those aren’t anything. Wanna talk by the water while a wait for your pops?
Sienna:....We can wait inside, Neo.
Neo:*smiles* If that’s okay with you then sure.
[A couple hours later]
Adam:*walks in with Jael on his back* Sienna we’re back. Your sis caught you a bunch of trout. Right Jael?
8yo Jael:Zzzzz
Adam:*Smiles* That sounds about right.
Neo:Hey boss. *on the couch*
Adam:Oh hey N-
Sienna:*sleeping on top of her*Zzzzz
Neo:*rubbing her hair* Looks like you got two sleepy kids. Lucky you.
Adam:How long has she been asleep?
Neo:A few hours.
Adam:That’s surprising. She doesn’t doze off unless she’s exhausted or with me.
Neo:Jealous?
Adam:Thankful, she needs all the rest she can get. She remember you?
Neo:No, but I think this was a good reintroduction. This kid is really something else. It’s a miracle that she’s as put together as she is. You’ve done a good job keeping her alive.
Adam:Did she say that? I get to much credit. She survived all on her own. All I did was give her more options to go.
Neo:That’s more than what you and I got at her age. Maybe she’ll still find peace in life.
Adam:I wouldn’t be so sure. She’s very adamant about joining the organization. Says it calls out to her; she’s already training for boot camp.
Neo:Yeah? *looks down*......hmph, I can understand that. Well if she really goes through it then I bet she’ll be great.
Adam:I rather she find a different path. To be honest.
Neo:We both know that darkness like this doesn’t simply go away. It has to be navigated, not avoided.
Adam:Preaching to the choir. Everyone in this house has their own darkness, except for Jael. She...has a different trial that concerns me.
Neo:Her heart?
Adam:My name. Even know she’s starting to realize just how unique her situation is to be born into this household. Though I suppose I should count my blessings; what should’ve been five years with her is now eight and shows no sign of stopping. I’m glad that we’re even able to have the opportunity to deal with the problems of navigating her future. Though juggling both of their needs is a bit straining on Jacquelyn and I.
Neo:Well it takes a village. I’m always a call away. I already deal with the Arcs. A tiger cub is nothing.
Adam:....You’ve grown attached.
Neo:I have no idea what you’re talking about. I’m just making sure my future subordinate has a nice life.
Adam:I hate to break it to you, she wants to work with me. Also Ilia will make sure Sienna gets the fundamentals down.
Neo:Don’t trust me?
Adam:Jacquelyn would murder me if you oversee her. But....if she does seek you out or does need help-
Neo:You have my word. I won’t be a pathway for her. Just a safety net. Let her find her footing, or are you concerned that she’ll like me more in the end?
Adam:You should fear the mom.
Neo:I’m no stranger to beating a maiden. Number four in chain of command. Not because skill or efficiency maybe, but nobody out ranks me in the areas that require my touch. Except for maybe you, but I don’t have to tell you that now do I? *pink eyes*
Adam:*smiles*No, I think these days you have me beat. Alright, I’ll be counting on you to keep an eye on her as well. Thanks.
Neo:Don’t mention it. After all, you helped get me a voice. That and...I like the look in her eyes.
Sienna:Zzzzz

Are there any particular traditions specific to certain tribes you particularly enjoy or are intrigued by or want to go into more detail on?
bonyorn is the Big One, of course, because i fucking love religious/spiritual stuff in my stories to incorporate more unreal aspects to a tale. but i definitely want to look more into xuyri’s traditionalism and how that clashes w/ sienna and arslan, and also into yuura of the west, once the peaceful people of vacra’s oasis. sun is their chieftain bringing a splash of akadyan colour into a bright desert landscape, so seeing how he integrates two cultures together is something im super hype to write!

Mikeyj529 from 1/2015
mikeyj529
this happiness cannot sustain the way deserts shape their sands like melodies drifting in the wind i have the sun in my eyes, this gift whispers a song to my heart there is no name for this culture so arid, it’s forgery is indecipherable these husks of static and discord dance sinuously for lost freedom a fluidity imposed by will, my oasis blooms beyond the mirage what offers this horizon, an outline spanning distances of burnt sienna with raging fires underfoot here is my sacrifice, it will suffice one step at a time, ever closer long to a deep and dusky goodnight
Tumblr media
lzlabs
In dedication to mikeyj529 
Your eyes have closed but I know you hear our whispers as we all feel this loss for friends are never made but recognized with love in every word you wrote you will live on  here and in our hearts forever

  Travel Bucket List – Most Colourful Destinations in the United States (U.S)
  The varied topography, climate ranges, and cultural hubs of the United States provide some of the most diverse and dynamic scenery on the planet. 
Ramp up the hues on your next vacation; pack your bags and visit some of the most colourful destinations in the US.
  [toc]
    Ocean Drive, Miami Beach
Hop a flight to South Florida, and the color palette’s guaranteed to impress. Along Miami’s Ocean Drive in South Beach, palm trees flutter in the coastal breeze, and pastel-painted Art Deco structures overlook the teal waters of the Atlantic. 
This culturally-rich stretch of street features nearly 1,000 historic buildings, plus boutique hotels, rooftop terraces, and a chic dining scene. Want to consume some colors when you visit South Beach? Nab a seat at an award-winning ethnic eatery or spend a Saturday morning strolling through the SOBE Farmers’ Market.
Don’t stop the scenery-spotting here, though; there’s more to see in sunny South Florida. Rent a car, drop off your non-essential gear at a Miami luggage storage site, and hit Highway 1 for the Keys.

  Where to stay in Miami?
Nautilus by Arlo | Hilton Cabana Miami Beach | Loews Miami Beach Hotel
    Key West, Florida Keys
Another colorful Florida destination, Key West wows with paradise vibes, turquoise skies, and whimsical neighborhoods peppered with hue-riffic Caribbean-style cottages. This small Florida Keys community is planted in the southernmost section of the United States, with a laidback lifestyle and hopping bar scene.
To maximize your exposure to this vibrant Florida Keys vacation destination, set off on a sunset sailing excursion or scope out the city scenery with a bike tour of Old Town Key West.
  Where to stay in Key West?
Havana Cabana at Key West | Margaritaville Key West Resort & Marina | The Laureate Key West
    River Walk, San Antonio
Colors come from countless sources on the stunning San Antonio River Walk. This urban South Texas oasis lines the San Antonio River, with waterfront walkways winding between the shore and sections of shops, restaurants, and cultural hotspots. 
Have lunch alfresco under the rainbow of Casa Rio’s umbrellas, appreciate the elaborate architecture of the Mediterranean-style Hotel Valencia Riverwalk, or enjoy views from the water on a San Antonio river cruise.

    Painted Desert, Arizona
In northeast Arizona, the surreal, rugged landscapes of the Painted Desert explode in rust-colored rock formations, purple-hued hills, and sparsely-spaced succulents. Spanning the land gap between the Grand Canyon and Petrified Forest National Park, the Painted Desert is one of Earth’s most unique places. 
For the best views, hike the Painted Desert Rim Trail near Chambers, AZ, or take the Painted Desert Scenic Drive, which begins about 25 miles east of Holbrook. And, whatever you do during your colorific visit, don’t miss a Painted Desert sunset.
    Las Vegas, Nevada
While in pursuit of America’s most colorful destinations, consider a Vegas visit. The lights and sights of this world-class entertainment hub are picture-perfect. Las Vegas hits high on the colorful destination spectrum, from the vibrant, over-the-top themes of the hotel scene to the vast, dusty desert land just beyond the city limits. 
Spend a day touring The Strip (consider hailing an Uber or two while spot-hopping; these aren’t your typical city blocks), and as night falls, hit the glimmering streets of the downtown area for some of the best performances in Vegas.
  Where to stay in Las Vegas?
M Resort Spa & Casino | Cancun Resort Las Vegas By Diamond Resorts | Marriott’s Grand Chateau
    Painted Cove Trail, Mitchell, Oregon
For a tranquil sight-seeing stop, plan a trip to central Oregon. In this land of lava fields and lush, mountainous terrain, you’ll find the Painted Cove Trail near Mitchell. This unassuming path flies under the radar but offers some of the most picturesque views in the Pacific Northwest.
Just 30 miles north of Ochoco National Forest and a two-hour drive from Bend, Painted Cove Trail weaves through a section of the John Day Fossil Beds, and this place is totally worth the trip. 
This easy, family-friendly trail is less than a half-mile long and winds around sienna-colored clay mounds that flow into charcoal gravel beds. Views span for miles from various points along the boardwalk-paved trail, and benches are planted along the way.
Did you know that Crater National Park is the only National Park in Oregon. It also happens to be one of the Best National Parks in the USA for Adventure junkies and nature lovers. So don’t forget to add that to your Oregon Travel Itinerary as well.
  (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
    Waimea Canyon State Park, Hawaii
For some Hawaiian hues, head for the Big Island. Waimea Canyon State Park spans over 1,800 acres of the Island of Hawaii’s northwestern region.  
Nature’s paintbrush put in some overtime here. Rust-colored canyon walls frame lush rainforest valleys, and rushing waters cascade over mountain ledges. Hiking at Waimea Canyon State Park is probably the best way to access the most breathtaking views; trails range from easy to extremely challenging.
When you plan on visiting Hawaii, do spend a week at least in Oahu – the third largest island in Hawaii, and this 7 Day Oahu – Hawaii Travel Itinerary, would prove to be quite helpful to you. So don’t forget to bookmark it and save it for the future!
  Where to stay in and around Waimea?
The Cabins at Kokee | Koloa Landing Resort at Po’ipu, Autograph Collection | Kiahuna Plantation Resort Kauai by Outrigger
    New England in the Fall
For the ultimate color-filled vacation, head for New England in the fall. As summer temps begin to dip, the region’s vast forestlands erupt in explosions of fiery hues. Leaf-peeping is a popular pastime throughout the area, though there are some specific spots to visit if you want to get the most of your New England fall foliage trip.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
  Vermont
For top-notch leaf-viewing opportunities, take a road trip on one of Vermont’s longest stretches of road. Route 100 runs for over 200 miles, from the state’s northern border to its southern neighbor, Massachusetts. The highway winds along mountainsides and farm fields, and through some of Vermont’s most popular cities.
While scoping out the most beautiful foliage in Vermont, you might as well toss some bridges in, too. Montgomery, VT, is just south of the Canadian border, and this little city is surrounded by rivers. Snap some bridge pics, hike one of the roadside trails, and, with all these scenic distractions, remember to look at the leaves.

  Where to stay in Vermont?
Trapp Family Lodge | The Pointe at Castle Hill Resort & Spa
    Maine
Move onto Maine for more spectacular views. This sprawling state’s array of climate conditions cultivates some of the most varied plant life (and leaf shows) in the region.
Aroostook State Park is an excellent place to launch your fall foliage tour in Maine. This northern park is one of the first places to burst into glowing golds and rich reds each season and offers some fantastic hiking trails for supreme color exposure.
For a little adventure during your Maine leaf-peeping trip, make a beeline for the Moxie Falls Trail in western Maine. Rustic boardwalks and rugged pathways weave through peaceful forests, eventually ending at the 100-foot-tall Moxie Falls. Pack a camera for this one…and some bug spray, too.

MILAN VINCA for @wrixie's Cherishing Cherry Bachelorette

Who knew especially, Linnea that she would find the kindness Eric offered.
It was odd to be listening to some pirate tell her about siblings, but there he was, telling her about what little existed between herself and Melaine still meant something
Linnea didn't want to try, she was too hurt, yet that speck of hope kept her from giving up on their sisterhood.

All the magic she had encountered, explored, commanded, and used, she still didn't understand the true magic that existed right before her eyes.

Pain had become a constant to her. She found always in idle moments feeling the bright red scar that blazed across her abdomen.
Melaine had done this to her.
The York Sisters had not had a charmed life. The magic in their bloodline had chosen Linnea, left her unsure and withdrawn from the real world.
Linnea tried to sympathize with her younger sister, and knew only one question needed to be asked.
First, Linnea needed to find Melaine again. Sister or not, this silent war between had to end.

Melaine raged with power, unchecked and refusing Dane's company to help quell this newfound, yet stolen magic, she lay waste to whatever she deemed fit.
The magical battle between the York sisters was no battle at all, it had been a psychic ambush.
Linnea screamed as the magic was ripped from her own body. She thought Death would be the only salve to the excruciating torture her body was being put through.
As Melaine took on the power that had once belonged to Linnea. Unrelenting power that only just, Linnea had learned to control.
As the finite magic between the estranged sisters shifted and settled into the younger Melaine, Linnea felt the emptiness, the fragility of her body again.
As Linnea lay there, looking up at the ceiling of the home Silas had built for them, she let out a small breath, testing herself, if any pain still wandered her body and hissed when she touched her stomach, where a deep red and angry burn mark marred freckled skin.
Melaine awoke that same night, having been thrown aback as the magic surged and explored it's new host. She choked but fought to keep control. Dane had taught her as much.
He may have been hesitant to assist the power hungry Melaine, but he had, and he had proclaimed to be her guide.
But she was alone now, choosing to hone her magic without assistance, even Dane.
Save Linnea.

Linnea read quietly, deep into the night, avoiding making contact with Melaine and taking advantage of Eric's generosity, furnishing her with a tent and food to fill her belly.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It was a passage in an inconsequential book, that caught her attention, and caused her to sit up.
"A blood sacrifice?" And furrowed her brows as she read on, nail bitten fingers moving over the text until she spared herself a moment.
Hugging the book to her body, she pulled a shawl over her shoulders and went in search of Dane's tent.
She ignored the chuckles she got when she asked where she could find him and scowled at how they quipped she was in for a "good ride".
Scratching at the tent flap, she waited for acknowledgement.
When he did peel back the flap, she entered before he gave her permission. Up close she could see the appeal, the set of his clear eyes, perceptive and searching, yet kind. It made her miss and crave Silas all the more.
"I...uh..." and opened the book to show him the passage she had found, "I want this done with Mel. If this is the way..." and thrust a hard poke into the open book, "then let us never be sisters, again."
