First Contact: Stode

This is Stode, of the Strondolie clan. Stode is a young adult Zokeañatī, who lives in a rural village in the middle-east of the central continent Xa∏enū. He works as a part time farmer, tending to the fields of crops owned by his family. He lives modestly, but more or less comfortably. Here he is, using his staff to prop himself up.

Zokeañatīi are mesothermic creatures, slightly more on the warm blooded side. They are hexapods, with three fingers upon each hand/foot. Their first four limbs posses thumbs and can easily grip things, though noticably, the first pair of limbs are more dextrous than the thicker, stronger second limbs. While all limbs can be used to walk, it is more common to us the second and third pairs of limbs. The second pair of limbs however, can also be used to hold things easily. The last pair of limbs is exclusively used to walk. They also posses a horn. In males, horns are more prominent. This is a trait heralded from their ancestors, who used their horns to impress females. It would be expected that these horns would eventually be lost through the process of evolution, but early cultures believed that larger horns proved an individual being descended from a god, and the horn gene wasn't lost. Zokeañatī have seven spiracles leading to three lungs, one in their mouth, and the remaining on their sides. They also have a pair of antenai that allow them to smell. Say hello to Stode.

Jinwoo x Fem!reader

Chapter 3

You stared at you phone that showed the quick chat you had with the ma- Sung Jinwoo you had learned that as his name, you just gave him your first name as to not arise any suspicion.

The two of you had arranged to meet in front of his house so that you could quickly drop off his now clean hoodie, you stode in front of the door watching it threw your dark sunglasses that slightly tilted downward so you could see better.

Letting out a soft sigh you hit your knuckles against the door twice before retreating your hand, waiting for the door to be opened it didn't take long what sounded like a feminine voice grumbled, something you didn't quite understand from behind the door.

When it opened a girl who seemed significantly younger than you was on the other side, your face morphed into your signature smile you assumed she must be Jinwoo's sister he had mentioned having one.

"oh uhm hello-" her cheeks dusted pink 'why is this random woman at the door' Jinah thought looking at the pretty lady in front of her, you brought the bag that contained the washed hoodie inside, slightly up "hi! is your brother home?" your smile widened a bit as you tilted your head, a quick silence fell between the two of you.

And then the girls eyes shot with determination as if she just had the revelation of her life, 'is she- Jinwoo's girlfriend?!' her face shifted into shock yes her brother had indeed become quite the catch, but still how did he score this girl?!

"uhm I'm here to return his hoodie?" your face fell slightly as she had been starring at you for the past 5 minutes without giving you any real verbal response, now her exterior was a complete poker face while her head became and actual mess 'THIS IS WHAT HE'S BEEN DOING?!' she screamed in her head referring to the poor idiot in front of her.

You let out a sound that was between a gasp and a whine when she took your hand practically shoving you inside "he's not home but he'll be back soon, come in!" safe to say she was very pleased at the moment.

⋆⁺₊⋆ ━━━━⊱༒︎ • ༒︎⊰━━━━ ⋆⁺₊⋆

You found yourself sitting next to Jinah on the couch after she made tea, the TV as background noise the two of you where having a pleasant conversation, she talked about school, friends and her brother she kept the conversation very light, whenever she would ask questions you'd respond vaguely for the most part, lying would have been easier but you didn't have it in you to lie to such a sweet girl.

"What really? And what did you say?" Jinah seemed very interested in the argument you recently had with your boss.. Not the caffè one, "nothing at all!" she let out a gasp "whaaaat?! No sassy line with perfect delivery?!" you shock your head "my annoyed death glare was a thousand more effective than any one liner, oh but how many times have I fantasized hitting him square in the face breaking those ugly glasses of his" the younger girl let out a loud laugh "thats what I think about my teacher all the time!".

The two of you stared at each other before breaking into laughter, as the noise subsided her head shifted to the TV you took the chance to take a sip of your tea, almost spitting it out from the incredulous scream Jinah let out, you coughed hard the tea definitely went in the wrong pipe, your gaze moved to see what was so incredible, your eyes widened.

It was you, shifting your gaze to her she was starring mouth agape that was the moment the door slammed open startling the both of you.

⋆⁺₊⋆ ━━━━⊱༒︎ • ༒︎⊰━━━━ ⋆⁺₊⋆

An:

Jinah is literally the best btw

She probably wouldn't have recognized you hadn't she looked over at the TV, guess your just that unlucky huh?

Oh also the plot is gonna kick in soon (I think)

Hello!!! Could I request a fluffy Rhys x reader where they have a slow snowy morning?

It’s finally starting to actually get cold where I am and I’m so happy about it. Autumn and Winter are my favorite seasons simply because of the cold weather.

YES anon honey I love the cozy fics! And I love Autumn/Winter so much but it doesn’t get cold where I’m currently living, it was 99℉ today where I’m at so I’m living vicariously through you and this fic

A/N: Also to set ✨the mood✨, Rhys would 100% play a song like this while he makes you pancakes for breakfast *swoon*

The Best Things

Rhys x Reader

Warnings: a lil suggestiveness

You woke up to the feeling of your mate’s warm body pressed against you, gently stroking your hair. Nearly letting out a purr at the pleasurable sensation, you cracked your eyes open to see the rising sun shining through your bedroom window, casting Rhys in a warm ethereal glow. He smiled down at you, murmuring a soft “good morning” before bringing you close for a tender kiss. 

You sighed, shuffling further under the covers as you buried your nose in Rhys’s neck, inhaling his comforting scent. You pressed a kiss to his collarbone, Rhys responding by rubbing your back as he whispered, “it’s snowing, darling.” You looked up to see gentle flakes of white floating towards the ground, and laid your head against Rhys’s chest as the two of you watched the snow fall, the only sounds in the room your heartbeats and the crackle of the fire that warmed the hearth.

You absentmindedly traced the swirling tattoos on Rhys’s bare chest, as he summoned two cups of warm tea for the both of you. You sipped on the warm drink, relishing in how the heat spread through your chest with each sip as you took in the scene of the snowfall, the cozy room, and your beautiful loving mate beside you. Your wish that this moment could last forever was interrupted by the growling in your stomach, and Rhys chuckled as he stroked a finger down your torso in a way that made heat pool between your legs. 

Pressing a kiss to your nose, Rhys purred, “I should take care of my mate, shouldn’t I?” as he rose out of bed. “I’ll make us some breakfast, darling,” he announced with a wink as he slipped on pants and headed down to the kitchen. You waited for only a moment before getting out of bed yourself, adorning a robe and slippers as you made your way to join your mate in the kitchen.

When you arrived, he was listening to music on a symphonia as he whisked a bowl of batter. “What are you making for me, Rhysie?” you asked as you eyed the ingredients on the counter. “I’m making cinnamon pancakes, my love. And I’ve fresh fruit for you as well,” he said as he stopped to grab a strawberry, bringing it to your lips. You let out a teasing, exaggerated moan at the taste that made your mate’s eyes darken before he cleared his throat. You stode around the counter gracefully, stepping in front of Rhys to press your backside against his front as you grabbed the ladle. “Let me help,” you murmured as you scooped out the batter into the frying pan. 

The two of you finished making the pancakes, you loading your plate with fruits and whipped cream, loading a finger with whipped cream that you dolloped on Rhys’s nose with a giggle before kissing it away. He took the opportunity to grab you, bringing you close as you danced to the music in the background, resting your head on his chest as you enjoyed the intimate moment. 

Rhys released you from your dance only to take a seat, lifting you into his lap as he feed you fruit and pancakes. After breakfast, you ventured into the snow together, admiring the beauty of the weather and making a snowman, before your hands got too cold and you returned inside. Rhys made you both hot chocolate which you enjoyed as you sat together on the couch while you read aloud to him from your latest romance book.

A wolfstar microfic . @wolfstarmicrofic

In this they are married,and they have an adopted daughter (she will not appear in the fic bc she is at aunty Mary house ,but i need them to have that) and very much IN LOVE no drama, no angst

Title: I Said I . LOVE . YOU!

Remus and Sirius have been dating for almost 10 years know, they had their house, their jobs, their daughter, their friends and obviously eachother. And a LOT has happened since Hogwart, but some things never changed.

On a normal sunday Sirius and Remus were cuddling on the couch, Remus was reading a new book while Sirius was renting about destroying James in Quidditch this time (despite James being a proplayer), it was a routine very dear to the both of them. Remus would listen, Sirius would Yap, both being the happiest every time.

A normal day.

After an hour or two Sirius received a notice telling him that it was Quidditch time,even tho a bit annoyed to move from the comfort of his Husband Sirius sat then plan kisses on his man (and receiving as many or more kisses form said man) and start to get ready for "destroying Prongs once and for all!" While Moony went back to reading

As Sirius was about to leave for quidditch practice in a happy tone he said : Okay bye babe, see you soon, I love you!

Pairing: Laurie Stode x Fem!Reader

Warnings: Fluff

Summary: Cuddles with Laurie

Tight Hold

After the first encounter with Michael Myers on Halloween, Laurie hasn't been able to sleep properly unless you're by her side

That night she was taken into hospital, she woke up to see you sitting in the chair beside her bed; it was then that she realised she didn't want to wake up without seeing you next to her again

When you get closer with each other in your relationship, Laurie lets her guard down more

At bedtime she loves to lay beside you and talk till you both fall asleep

Other times she wants you to hold her so she drifts to sleep in your arms

Laurie doesn't really ask for cuddles when you two first start dating but when you do get closer she'll have cuddles anytime any place

Sometimes if she's waiting for you to get into bed, she'll face the bedroom door waiting for you to walk in and when you do she opens the blankets for you

She tells you in physical ways that she needs to be held

Laurie inches herself closer to you until you wrap your arms around her and other times she'll simply lift your arm up and place it around her

When she becomes more vulnerable around you she loves to fall asleep on your chest with her head tucked into your neck

She loves the feeling of your arm securely wrapped around her waist or when you cradle and rub her back

She'll never tell you but she needs holding, especially now that she has a never ending fear of Michael Myers' return

When you hold her she feels like the safest girl in the world

She feels particularly lucky; after she'd had a bad start to the night, a bad day or has had a nightmare; you get your laptop out and sit up with her while she watches tv from the bed

Before you know it you and Laurie have naps on the couch or on the bed with a blanket draped over the both of you

Sometimes when your cuddling she listens and focuses on your heartbeat and always reminds herself of how lucky she is to have you

Someone send in Laurie Strode requests I'm desperate for them

[edwardslovelyelizabeth]

How many mistresses did Edward IV have? It is said that the names of his mistresses are not recorded in contemporary times?

They are debatable because not everything was recorded back in the day and he never had an official court mistress and he never officially recognized his illegitimate children. We know he was involved with one Elizabeth Lucy, also known as Lady Lucy, Lady Elizabeth, and Elizabeth Wayte (as you can see even her name is debatable) could be the mother of his several illegitimate children most notably Arthur Plantagenet who was born sometime between 1461 and 1464, which means that the woman who was his mother was Edward's mistress when he was still unmarried. She Is also suggested to be the mother of another illegitimate child Elizabeth Plantagenet who was born sometime in 1464 or earlier because she married Sir Thomas Lumley in 1477 (she should be minimum 12 at the time of her marriage), so again was born when Edward was still unmarried or just recently married so conceived before he was actually married.

Another mistress is rumored to be Elizabeth "Jane" Shore (née Lambert) who was also supposedly a mistress of William Hastings and Edward's stepson Thomas Grey (and she was actually accused of adultery with Thomas in Richard's proclamation against Thomas Grey). She might have been Edward's mistress from 1476 on when she was granted the annullment of her marriage. The most we know about her is from Thomas More's "The History of King Richard III", which is somewhat controversial baring in mind More was only 5 years old when Edward died and he wrote his history for the Tudors obviously so he is not a contemporary source and a biased one at that. Here is what he wrote of Jane Shore

But the meriest was this Shoris wife, in whom the king therfore toke speciall pleasure. For many he had, but her he loued. Whose fauour, to sai the trouth, (for sinne it wer to belie the deuil) she neuer abused to any mans hurt, but to many a mans comfort & relief: where the king toke displeasure, she wolud mitigate & appease his mind: where men were out of fauour, she wold bring them in his grace. For many that had highly offended, shee obtained pardon. Of great forfetures she gate men remission. And finally in many weighty sutes, she stode many men in gret stede, either for none, or very smal rewardes, & those rather gay then rich: either for that she was content with the dede selfe well done, or for that she delited to be suid vnto, & to show what she was able to do wyth the king, or for that wanton women and welthy be not alway couetouse. I doubt not some shal think this woman to sleight a thing, to be written of & set amonge the remembraunces of great matters: which thei shal specially think, that happely shal esteme her only by that thei now see her. But me semeth the chaunce so much the more worthy to be remembred, in how much she is now in the more beggerly condicion, vnfrended & worne out of acquantance, after good substance, after as gret fauour with the prince, after as gret sute & seking to with al those that those days had busynes to spede, as many other men were in their times, which be now famouse, only by the infamy of their il dedes. Her doinges were not much lesse, albeit thei be muche lesse remembered, because thei were not so euil. For men vse if they haue an euil turne, to write it in marble: & whoso doth vs a good tourne, we write it in duste which is not worst proued by her: for at this daye shee beggeth of many at this daye liuing, that at this day had begged if she had not bene

And this is basically it of the "known" mistresses of Edward IV.

Richard's charge at Bosworth, according to Edward Hall's chronicle.

...And being inflamed with ire and vexed with outragious malice, he pit his spurres to his horse and rose out of the dyde of y range of his battaile, leyung auntgardes fighting and like a hungry lion ran with spere in rest towards him. Therle of Richmonde perceyued wel the king furiusly commying towards him, and by cause the hole hope of his welth and purpose was to be determined by battaill, he gladly proferred to encoutre with him body to body and man to man. Kyng Rychard set on so sharpely at thefirst Brout y he ouerthew therles standarde, and slew Sir William Brandon, his standarde bearer(which was father to Sir Charles Brandon by kynge Henry VIII. created duke of Suffolke) and marched hand to hand w sir Ihon Cheinye, a man of great force and strenght which would haue resisted him, and the said Ihon was by him manfully ouerthrowen, and so he making open passage by dent of swerde as he went foward, therle of Richmond with stode his violence and kept him at the swerdes poincte without auantage longer than his companions other thought or iudged, which beying almost in dispaire of victorie, were sodainly recomforted by Sir William Stanley, whiche came to succours with III. thousand tall men, at which very instant kyge Richardes men were dryuen back and fledde, and he himself manfully fyghtynge in the mydell of his enemies was slayne and brought to his death as he worthely had deserued.

Edward Hall's Chronicle was first published in 1548, admitably many decades after Bosworth(1485). But interestingly, not just Vergil describes Henry VII withstanding brunt of Richard's charge for at least a while...

Not all details are same as in my previous post about battle of Bosworth(because i tried to find more contemporary sources) but it is very interesting to hear what more common people(not noblemen and courtiers) thought happened in Bosworth.

If anybody would wish to read in Hall's chronicle, it's online!

And here is the link:

[fideidefenswhore]

The guilds of London accompanied Anne on her boat journey from Greenwich to the Tower on Thursday 29 May. ‘But for to speake of the people that stode on euery shore to beholde the sight’ that greeted Anne’s arrival at the Tower, writes Edward Hall, ‘he that sawe it not would not beleue it’. According to Hall, Anne rode up-river alongside ‘fiftie barges’, each belonging to a guild, and headed by a foist ‘full of ordinaunce’, with ‘a great Dragon continually mouyng, & castyng wyldfyer’. Ships anchored at shore so as not to obstruct the procession also fired ‘diuers peales of gunnes’ in honour of Anne, and ‘great melody’ was heard as she landed at the Tower to be greeted with a kiss by the king

Marellinh Story (Part 3)

Linh

Linh opened her eyes blearily. She had no idea where she was, or how she got there. Then she remembered. She had nearly faded!

She sat up, her hair flying messily across her face. Bullhorn sqeaked as he tumbled off her bed onto the floor. What had Bullhorn been doing on her bed?

Then she realised that she was in the Healing Centre. She stared as she took in Marella, sitting at the far side of the room, her head in her arms. Linh's heart fluttered at the sight of her there. Why weren't any of their other friends? Did that mean, possibly, that Marella liked her more?

Elwin stode in, breaking her thoughts. His face was set and there was purple under his eyes. He saw hear sitting up and his face broke into a smile of joy and relief. He laughed in shock, and rushed over to hug her.

Marella jolted her head up and spun around. Her hair was messy, with her braids untwisting and her fringe pushed untidily away from her face. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying. But her smile lit up the room.

Marella put her arms around Linh, squeezing until Linh thought she would burst.

"We were so worried." Marella said. "You were out for three days. Elwin didn't leave the Healing Centre. I had to for class. But the rest of time, I was here. Hoping you would wake up."

For a moment, their eyes met. A look passed between them, a look of understanding. Linh knew that her life would never be the same.

The next chapter will come out within the next three days!
