My latest post is a deep dive on Stewart Brand's How Buildings Learn. If you can't tell from the length, this book is full of gold, and one of my favorites in a long time:
"The book resonated with me as one of the most thought-provoking works I've read on design and how things are made and maintained in general — from buildings and urban planning, to software, to education, to manufacturing, and even governments and cultures."

There’s only a few seats left, so hurry over if you want to see me in real life, have some laughs, watch me drink a wine and say something I’ll probably regret BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY there are going to be some exclusive merch designs available only at the event! 
And after a lot of inquisitive requests I am happy to preview them here:
Union Chapel Poster

Inspired by the iconic stained glass window that we will be sat under, this undeservedly beautiful poster image fuses the beautiful illustrations from the book with the venue architecture to commemorate the evening that hopefully Dan didn’t ironically burst into flame performing in a church.

Tumblr media
Taking inspiration from the hopeful gold glow of the new cover, this design features a sun ray quote, "You Can Be your Own Light", on the front and stained glass design on the back in a warm off-white.
I hope to meet some of you there and together we can repent for our sins, or probably commit a few new ones and run before they send people after us. It’s a date!!
— Dan

Song: Close To You by Gracie Abrams
| Main Masterlist |
Tumblr media
It all began as a harmless crush on your morning commute. The New York subway was your daily stage, a bustling backdrop as you headed to meet a client. As a social media coordinator, your days revolved around managing high-profile partnerships, coordinating with celebrities and Instagram influencers to craft campaigns that seamlessly blended their brands with consumer appeal. 
But today was different. And of course, you recognized him. 
You noticed him immediately – Pedro Pascal, seated right in front of you. Lost in his book, with a iced quad espresso in a venti cup with extra ice and six shots cradled in his hand, he exuded an effortless charm. His dark, curly hair framed those whisky eyes that glanced up and met yours. Just for a second, you were frozen in time, captivated by his gaze. You quickly looked away, not wanting to seem rude, yet feeling the familiar flutter of a crush brewing.
Did he smile? You swore he did, and your heart skipped a beat. The train doors opened, announcing your stop. Reluctantly, you stepped off, joining the throng of commuters spilling onto the platform. As you ascended the steps, the city's vibrant energy washed over you, but your mind was elsewhere.
Walking towards the restaurant for your client meeting, your thoughts kept drifting back to him. The way his presence ignited a spark within you, a longing that seemed almost irrational. Here you were, burning for a man who didn't even know your name. And yet, in the anonymity of the subway, a fleeting connection had stirred something deep inside you.
Tumblr media
It had been a few weeks since that subway encounter, the memory of Pedro Pascal’s whisky eyes lingering in your mind. In the meantime, you had started managing social media for Sarah Paulson, whose busy schedule had her juggling multiple projects and interviews.
Sarah's latest project, a Broadway play titled Appropriate, was garnering critical acclaim and several award nominations. Your job was to promote her involvement, ensuring every post captured the essence of her talent and the play’s success. Though you hadn't been working with her long, you were pleasantly surprised when she invited you to watch one of her performances.
That night, you arrived early at the Belasco Theatre, adorned in your favorite long dress and practical flats, mindful of the commute back to your apartment. Ushered to a seat close to the front, you settled into the plush red velvet, feeling a mix of excitement and anticipation. As the audience trickled in, you busied yourself with casual texts to friends before putting your phone away, taking in the theatre's intricate architecture and the stage's grandeur.
Moments later, an usher guided someone to the seat next to you. Curiosity made you glance to your right, and there he was—Pedro Pascal, settling in beside you. Your eyes widened in recognition before you quickly looked away, a quiet panic bubbling in your stomach and tightening your chest. You fidgeted with your fingers, a nervous habit, trying to quell the flurry of emotions and resist the urge to stare.
As the house lights dimmed and the show began, you couldn’t help but steal occasional glances at him. The man who had unknowingly captured your heart was now mere inches away. The performance on stage was captivating, but you found yourself equally entranced by the man sitting next to you. In the soft glow of the theatre lights, you wondered if he remembered that brief moment on the subway, and if fate had just given you a second chance to connect.
When the show ended and the cast took their bows, the theatre erupted in applause. Pedro, sitting right next to you, cheered loudly when Sarah stood with the rest of the cast on stage. His genuine enthusiasm for his friend made you smile, and as you glanced at him, he looked down at you with a radiant grin. 
Your heart raced, and for a moment, you felt a concrete connection that was almost tangible. Both of you opened your mouths to speak, but just then, an usher cleared their throat, drawing your attention.
“Mr. Pascal, Sarah Paulson is asking for you backstage… if you would follow me, please,” the usher said, causing Pedro to hesitate, torn between staying with you and fulfilling his friend's request.
“Uh,” Pedro began, glancing between you and the usher. Seeing his dilemma, you made the decision for him. Gathering your things, you offered a polite smile to both Pedro and the starstruck usher.
As Pedro glanced back at the usher, you seized the moment to make your getaway. You might have heard him call out, "Wait!" but you didn't stop. Stepping out onto the bustling street, the city lights of Broadway twinkled around you, a stark contrast to the growing ache in your heart.
The possibility of what might have been gnawed at you, the fleeting connection slipping through your fingers. A voice in the back of your mind echoed doubts, whispering that you didn't quite belong in this world of beautiful, glamorous people. You tried to shake off the feeling, but the bittersweet sting lingered.
You begin to walk away from the theatre, weaving through the crowd lined up for autographs by the backstage door. Just as you're about to cross the street to catch your subway, your phone vibrates in your clutch. Stepping aside, you see Sarah Paulson’s name flashing on the screen.
Shit. 
You quickly answer, praying your voice doesn't betray your nerves. "Hello?"
"Hey!" Sarah's voice is warm and enthusiastic. "How are you? Did you enjoy the show?"
"Yeah, I did! You were absolutely incredible," you say, offering genuine praise and shifting your weight to your other leg.
"Thank you so much! Oh, where are you right now? Are you still nearby? I had told the usher to bring you backstage with Pedro, but it seems like they forgot."
"Oh, um, yeah, I'm near the backstage door," you reply, glancing at the crowd still waiting for autographs.
"Perfect! Some of us are going out for drinks later, and you are welcome to join us!" Sarah’s excitement is infectious.
You stammer, "Uh, I..."
"It'll be great! I promise. I'll introduce you to everyone. You're my best social media manager by far."
Taking a deep breath, you muster, "Okay, yeah, I'd love to come."
"Great! I'll send you the address of where we're headed. We'll meet you there!" Sarah says, her smile practically audible.
"Alright, see you soon." You end the call with a click, clutching your phone tightly as you take another deep breath to steady your nerves and keep the world from spinning.
A ping alerts you to a new message. Glancing at the notification, you read the address and know exactly where to go. With a mixture of excitement and anxiety, you put away your phone and head towards the bar, the city's lights guiding your way.
Tumblr media
It took you a while to figure out how to get there, but eventually, you arrive at the bar. As you step inside, a warm hum fills your body, the lights and the pulse of music thrumming through the room. The smoky, dark atmosphere feels electric, bodies moving in a rhythm that seems to make the air itself burn. 
Under the soft pink light, everything seems slightly surreal, yet oddly perfect. You spot Sarah, who immediately pulls you into a warm hug, which you happily accept. As you exchange pleasantries near their table, you feel at ease, enjoying the camaraderie. 
Then, suddenly, you sense a shift. You glance up and see Pedro looking right back at you. Your heart skips a beat as your eyes meet, and in that instant, the crowded room seems to fade away. 
There he is, the man who had unknowingly captured your heart, his gaze steady and intense. As Sarah guides you over to introduce the rest of her friends, castmates, and of course, Pedro, you feel a pull between the two of you.
You muster the courage to speak, telling him your name, and even through the loud speakers and endless chatter, you hear him say your name with a breathless relief. Finally meeting the mystery girl he saw on the subway seems to have stirred something within him.
When you shake hands, there's a lingering touch, a silent acknowledgment of the connection between you. You can't help but duck your head a little, feeling shy under the intensity of his gaze. 
"Nice to finally meet you," Pedro says, his voice soft yet filled with warmth.
"Likewise," you reply, your own voice tinged with a hint of nervousness.
In that brief exchange, you both sense something unspoken, a silent understanding that this meeting is more than just chance. And as the night unfolds, amidst the laughter and music, you find yourself drawn to him, unable to resist the magnetic pull of fate.
As Sarah goes to mingle with the rest of the group, you both stand there, caught in a moment suspended in time. The air crackles with anticipation, and you can't shake the feeling that if you asked him to, he'd give up everything just to be close to you.
"You have a way of lighting up a room," he says, his voice low and full of sincerity as he leans in closer.
A blush creeps up your cheeks at his words, and you find yourself smiling despite yourself. "And you have a way of making me feel like I'm the only one in it," you reply, your voice barely above a whisper.
As the night wears on, you find yourself completely enchanted by Pedro. His easy charm and quick wit captivate you, and it's as if the two of you are in your own little world, separate from the chaos of the club.
He tells you stories about his acting career and his passion for music. You share your dreams and aspirations, feeling a sense of comfort in his presence that you've never experienced with anyone before.
Throughout the night, there are moments where your hands brush against each other or your eyes meet in a lingering gaze. Each time it happens, a spark of electricity shoots through your body, igniting a fire within you.
At one point, he leans in closer to whisper in your ear over the loud music. "I have a confession to make," he says, his warm breath tickling your skin.
You turn to face him, your heart racing with anticipation.
He chuckles softly, the sound sending a delightful shiver down your spine. "I can't deny that you've caught my attention since the moment I saw you on the subway."
The admission sends your heart racing, and you can't help but feel a surge of boldness. "Funny, because you've been on my mind ever since," you confess, meeting his gaze with newfound confidence.
His eyes light up with a mixture of surprise and delight, and you can't help but be drawn to the way his lips curl into a playful smirk. "Is that so?" he teases, his voice a low, husky whisper that sends a shiver down your spine.
You nod, feeling a rush of exhilaration coursing through your veins. "Absolutely," you reply, unable to tear your gaze away from his captivating stare.
Before you can say another word, he takes a step closer, his movements slow and deliberate, like a dance choreographed just for the two of you. Your breath catches in your throat as his hand brushes against your neck, sending tingles of anticipation racing across your skin.
And then, in a moment that feels like it's been plucked straight from a romance film, his lips meet yours in a soft, tender kiss. Time seems to stand still as you melt into his embrace, the world around you fading away until there's nothing left but the two of you.
As you pull away, breathless and exhilarated, a sense of euphoria washes over you, like a chemical override in ultraviolet. "I just wanna be close to you," he murmurs, his words sending a thrill through your entire being. A smile dances at the corners of your lips as you revel in the electric connection between you.
"And you could be mine tonight," you reply, your voice barely above a whisper, the words tinged with a hint of playful flirtation.
He chuckles softly, his eyes sparkling with affection as he leans in closer. "I think I could get used to being yours," he says, his voice filled with warmth and sincerity, melting away any lingering doubts or fears.
He can't wait to fall in love with you.

I know the "I understood that reference" moment is played for laughs and like Steve is being stupid but he just. He looks so fucking proud of himself. He's such a dork and it's so sad.
He's living in a world that feels familiar sometimes, that he recognizes sometimes, but that is also so different. The architecture, the fashion, the technology, the food and the drinks, and the way people talk.
The language must have evolved some, there are words we use that we don't even realize are references, that we think must have always been there but they weren't.
The pop culture is different, the movies and the music and the arts in general.
Maybe Steve feels like he's living in another dimension, in a mere shadow of the world he came from, and here's fucking Wizard of Oz.
That movie came out in 1939, he probably saw it when it was brand new, he might have read the book.
And finally, there's something he recognizes. Something from his world, something he knows and understands.
He's a lost puppy jumping at everything that looks vaguely like home. He's desperate for it. And he's played for laughs for it, by the movie and the characters around him.

The desire to possess (Part 3)
Summary: You realize that you are locked in the claws of a monster and pray that your beloved will save you. But will he come?
Perturabo/fem!Reader, Rogal Dorn/fem!Reader
Warnings: angst, yandere, possesive behavior, obsession, kidnapping, dubcon, branding
Word count: 3009
Song: Rammstein - Amour
I had inspiration as you can see.
Tumblr media
You have always loved creating small sculptures, carving tiny scenes on marble. Because it was beautiful and elegant. To fit entire worlds and plots in such a tiny space. Yes, you were a small grain of sand in a huge ocean. Insignificant. And yet your sculptures have won the hearts of many people. Including the master who proudly showed your work to the primarchs.
They liked it. The primarchs themselves liked your creations! It has to say that you didn’t like war and prefer to study outposts and structures from books. You were not eager to get involved in the Crusade. But when you saw Perturabo, your feet carried you to him. He was your hero, your idol. While still a student, you wondered whether it was worth it for you to continue working as a sculptor. Will you find your place in this Galaxy?
But when you saw the images of the Iron Lord's structures, you were amazed. And inspired. As then in the Palace, albeit with fear, but still sincerely telling Perturabo about your hope to capture his campaign. A tiny hope of stepping onto the Iron Blood glimmered within you.
But destiny gave you another path. You had to work under Dorn on the Phalanx. Rival of Perturabo in siege and architecture. Life can be unpredictable.
As are your feelings for the primarch. Surprisingly, you did not feel the same awe of him as other mortals. He was your lord, an incredibly tall, strong and influential man. But you didn’t want to cry when you saw his demigod shade.
Quite the contrary. While creating a bust in Rogal's image, you couldn't help but notice his humanity. And when you started talking, you couldn’t help but fall in love with him. He was kind. He fought and killed and subjugated systems. And yet Dorn was against genocide and always wanted to bring the world to harmony. And always leaving behind buildings - a symbol of a new future. And you wanted to share it with him.
***
“I have feelings for you. It’s been quite some time now and I intend to connect my life with you.” - the primarch with a stoic face looks into your eyes, almost without blinking. - “This is a serious proposal and I ask you to treat it accordingly.”
To be honest, it was a little scary. How you were unexpectedly called into the primarch’s chambers and you saw a man dressed in golden armor. His eyes did not glow with rage, but the determination in them was visible from afar. For a second you thought you were going to be executed.
You are silent, not knowing what to say until you notice one detail. Rogal also didn't say a word after his speech. He doesn’t take his eyes off you, his posture doesn’t change, patiently waiting for your answer. Answer. He didn’t intimidate, he didn’t confront you with your new role. He confessed his feelings and hoped that you would answer them...
Surprisingly, you feel... calm. You don’t tremble or cry with emotion, you don’t burst into laughter, but you smile softly. The Primarch blinks in surprise before his face takes on a peaceful expression. The answer is clear without words.
Rogal kneels and you approach him. Your hands touch. His are gigantic and clad in golden armor. And yours are small and covered with dust from work. Your first kiss did not happen soon, as did your first intimacy and conversations about the future.
Everything was truly innocent and beautiful that day.
***
It was a moment of true happiness. It seems like it's been so long since this happened. And now you are sitting in the corner of the room (judging by the details and drawings, this is a workshop) and trembling with fear of the unknown. These were not the chambers of the Praetorian, but the chambers of a primarch, whom you so desperately wanted to serve to in the distant past.
“My brother is cruel and merciless. He looks more like a war machine than a man.”
You remember how Rogal admitted to you that his rivalry with Perturabo was personal, almost childish. They were similar in some ways, but still different. The primarch did not try to turn you against his brother. And yet you were afraid of Perturabo when you met him at one of the events. The anger with which he looked at Rogal. And the worst thing was the contempt with which he looked at you... it was then that you realized how lucky you were to receive his refusal to become a remembrancer of the Iron Blood.
But the worst thing happened after Horus' betrayal. Then you learned the details about the burning of Olympia and other planets. How the Iron Warriors committed genocide, and the survivors were taken into slavery. This was not the hero you read about with such enthusiasm. He was a monster.
And now you were in his clutches. Despite all the protection of Dorn, Perturabo still captured you. The Iron Lord wanted so badly to humiliate his brother. Destroying Greystone won't be enough for him, no. Surely he will think about building his own masterpiece. And at this hour you couldn’t help but wonder what would happen to you.
You will probably be tortured. Maybe he'll display your corpse at the main gate as a trophy, a sign for the Praetorian. Or he will turn you into a servitor or a diabolical machine. It was not for nothing that the primarch left you alive.
The iron door opens with a creak and you can’t help but turn towards the sound. Perturabo, as if nothing had happened, goes inside and locks the door. He wears no armor, only Olympic-style clothing. The man twists his neck until it cracks before turning to look at you. You just look at him like a hunted animal. Even when he approaches you, leaving very little space between you.
“I see you better now. You pretty much ruined my plans with your hysterics. But I shouldn’t demand too much from a fragile mortal girl.” - the man firmly pronounces each word, clenching his fists. You can’t understand whether he’s angry with you, or just talking condescendingly. - “Get up.”
You barely obey. You get up on weak legs and hug yourself by the shoulders. His presence is terrifying. And at the same time, you feel that he doesn’t want to hurt you. But this is just ridiculous, he is a primarch, a traitor, and you are a mortal, a remembrancer of Dorn, you are nothing to him.
“I want you to repeat it.”
"What?" - you look at him in confusion.
“Repeat what you told me back in the Palace. Why do you want to serve me? I want to hear it again.” - the man frowns at what he thinks is your ridiculous question. - “On all the worlds, I have always given only one chance to surrender. Either they used it or accepted the consequences. It's the same system here. Either you talk or I use your mouth differently.”
You sob loudly, not wanting to know what he plans to do if you refuse. Tears are streaming down your cheeks and you are trying to say anything other than sounds of despair. You feel Perturabo looking at you carefully. He waits until you test his patience and do not follow a direct order. Finally you speak, trying to remember that very request. The time when you were naive and happy.
“I-I studied all the strongholds you b-built on the conquered worlds. All, uh, all outposts were created with perfect precision to torment the enemy. No living creature can compare to your s-siege prowess.” - you babble, feeling like you can’t hold back your tears. Salty drops randomly flow down your cheeks and you hastily wipe them away.
“I-I-I, ah, I was delighted when I learned about your exploits in the vastness of the G-galaxy. Siege of Incaladion, Bernean and Morningstar Campaign. I read everything about you, all your campaigns.” - you gasp, tears blur your eyes and you see almost nothing. Your voice constantly breaks and you almost howl. - “It was because of you that I decided to become a s-sculptor. When I saw how functional and at the same time beautiful your buildings were. And... I want to serve you. P-please, uh, let me be your l-personal remembrancer. Please."
With the last word, you begin to cry uncontrollably. Feeling weak in your body, you try with all your strength to stay on your feet. Throat hurts from emotions. After some time, you calm down and realize that all this time the Iron Lord was silent. Waited patiently for your hysteria. Or he was thinking about it. Or trying to hold back your emotions.
"Yes." - a tense male voice sweeps across the room with a breath and you shudder from the surge of unrest. - “Yes, you will serve me. My remembrancer, my consort, my slave, my treasure. Only for me and no one else.”
With slow steps, the primarch approaches you until he kneels. You continue to look at the floor until the man lifts your face by the chin. You have no choice but to look into his eyes.
When a man attacked the fortress of Dorn and killed your bodyguard. When he grinned at the sight of you. You thought you imagined what you saw. You desperately didn’t want to see WHAT the primarch had turned into, so you avoided looking at him. Rogal did not scare you, he did not deceive you.
Perturabo's yellowed eyes burn with hellish fire. Extremely pale skin appears with black bruises under the eyes. The primarch was always harsh and cruel. But now it smells of death. More than ever, he now looks less like a primarch and less like a man. But the worst thing was the terrible desire with which he looked at you.
“I'll drown worlds in blood for you.”
Before you even had time to scream, you felt his mouth on your lips. His giant arms wrapped possessively around your waist. You grunt in pain. The way he squeezed you, the way he invaded your mouth with his tongue. Dorn was too gentle, too careful with you. The Iron Lord wanted to take you whole.
You barely free your hands from under the primarch’s mass so that he doesn’t crush them. Palms instinctively rest on the man’s shoulders. You want to push him away, you want to take a breath of air and run away, but you don’t have the strength. Perturabo either misinterpreted your gesture. Or it provoked him.
He pulls away and you take a deep breath before yelping in surprise when he suddenly lifts you up and lays you down on the table. At the same time, throwing things off the cold surface so as not to interfere. The man tore your top dress and you close your eyes.
“Look at me,” a menacing voice rings out with such cruelty that you cringe. But you still follow the order and look straight into the primarch’s eyes. - “I want you to watch."
Rogal was not your master. He was a primarch, but he didn't look down on you, he tried to understand you. But even if you shout it at the top of your lungs, it will not give any result. It is not the Praetorian who is obsessed with conquering you, but the Iron Lord. And you have nothing left to do but watch.
Perturabo squeezes your sides and you whimper from the rolling pain. You know the primarch is gentle with you in his own way. There will be bruises on your skin, but anything is better than broken bones. The man’s mouth greedily kisses and licks your collarbone until it moves to your breast. The Iron Lord bites and leaves hickeys on the tender flesh. His marks are large and painful due to the size difference.
You start crying again in pain. From the shameful pleasure that your body experiences to relieve discomfort. From longing for a loved one who is sure that you are safe. And from uncontrollable almost animal fear. Because you were forced to watch. Because while Perturabo is using you as he pleases, he continues to look straight into your eyes.
The Iron Lord enjoyed your whimpers, your body, your submission. Enjoyed the power and enslavement of a mortal girl. Enjoyed the victory over his sworn enemy, planning new atrocities.
This torture continues for a long time before Perturabo leaves your stomach with a pop. Thumbs stroke your womb while yellow eyes glow with hellfire from terrible anticipation. You shrink all over from a frightening premonition and unconsciously try to move away from the primarch. But the man’s grip is too strong, even though he didn’t even put in a little effort.
The Iron Lord looks at your lower body for a moment before raising his head. His face is absolutely stone, there is not a hint of anger or smirk. Humanity is lost and an iron monster emerges. His cold and loud voice makes your blood run cold.
"You belong to me."
***
Your collarbone still hurts. The Black Mark of the Iron Legion is ugly and you're grateful you can't see it. Perturabo branded you like a slave. Although, given your situation, you were. He kissed you tenderly, somehow imitating Dorn's touch as if he had seen you alone. After which he took you to new chambers so that you could rest.
He turned off the light so you could sleep. And, it would seem, after the pain, mental and physical, you should have fallen into a serene sleep. But you couldn't. Thoughts rushed about like animals in a cage, concentrating on one ray of hope. Rogal. Soon he will know that you are missing. And even if not, he will still follow in the footsteps of his enemies, you know him.
You sob again, curling into the fetal position. The bed is gigantic, you seem so small on it. But it was not made for a Primarch or a Space Marine, no. You managed to look at it before the Iron Lord left you alone in the darkness (alas, the portholes with a view of space were not provided for on the Iron Blood due to their impracticality). And besides, as a true sculptor, you only had to touch the furniture to feel all the subtlety of the work.
Perturabo carved every detail. Birds and flowers, scenes with battles and dates. Images of the sun and moon and stars. Not to mention the fact that the bed was shaped like a shell. It was practical so that you could easily get off or climb on it. But the size could fit an entire primarch there.
He made it especially for you. And judging by what was going on in his workshop... for the two of you. No no no. You no longer had the strength to cry and you wanted to be persistent for the sake of Dorn. Still, the knowledge that the Iron Lord had been planning to steal you away for a long time, not only to mock his brother, but also for his own pleasure, made you sick.
Perturabo regretted turning you away at the Imperial Palace. He regretted that he had alienated a woman who sincerely admired him. He was jealous that his brother got you. The one who always received everyone's admiration and wore the mark of the Emperor with honor. Who not only fought, but also created something beautiful. He didn't truly love you, he wanted to have you as his favorite property. For eternity.
The last thought gave you chills. You were an ordinary girl. A fragile mortal. A remembrancer who never took up sword. No wonder you were easily wounded when an assassin from a recently conquered planet snuck into Dorn's chambers. He easily cut your throat. And you died. And didn't.
Rogal saw how life left you and how it returned to you. It was a miracle. Which, alas, could not be ignored. Malcador the Sigillite told you two that you were one of the Eternals. You were cursed to live forever. And blessed. After all, this meant that you could spend your whole life next to Dorn. Rogal promised the Emperor that you would not distract him. He will continue to serve the Imperium with all his zeal. And he will be able to love you. But now you are in the hands of the Iron Lord. And the thought that you could not leave his Eternal Fortress even in death was terrifying.
You mentally rejoice that even though Perturabo tore your top dress, he still left you with a skirt. Your hands reach into your pocket and you pull out a tiny marble tile. You press your lips to Rogal's face carved into it and inhale the scent of the mineral.
Before the primarch's departure, you specially made this tile. To preserve his image and hope that everything will be fine with him. That he will survive on Terra and will definitely return to you. This was your best work. Rogal did not pose. He slept while you carved his peaceful face.
“Please come to me.” - you whisper quietly, putting all your hope and love into the words. Fingers gently trace Dorn's perfect features. The marble is pleasant to the touch, but when you close your eyes, you imagine Rogal’s warm skin. - "Come to me. My love, I'm so scared. So lonely. Save me. Protect me. Come to me."
You say your personal prayer with sentiment until the sound of footsteps is heard. The door opens slightly and light enters the dark room. The heat of hellfire scorches the coolness of your chambers, enveloping the dark figure of your tormentor. You forcefully press the marble to your chest, hoping to hide the last piece of the home from the Iron Lord. His eyes are filled with a sense of awe out of self-deception and exaltation.
“You called me.”

Everything We Know About Maldonia
Ah, Maldonia. It's mentioned a few times in TPatF and despite Naveen literally being Maldonian, we know very little about it. Or do we? In this post I will summarise everything we know about Maldonia and I hope to, in follow -up posts, propose a location for it, as well as a cultural foundation for it, based on everything we currently know
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What Do We Actually Know
From the Movie:
-It's a "small yet golden kingdom in an obscure unheard of part of the globe" as stated in the newspaper we see. Also the same newspaper features a photo of Naveen on a background which perhaps could be Maldonian architecture
Tumblr media
-Naveen "[comes] from two long lines of royalty" - Dr Facilier during Friends on the Other Side, it is unknown whether the union between the two lines created a brand new kingdom of Maldonia or Maldonia was a preexisting kingdom that became enlarged
-The (possibly simplified) royal crests for the two royal lines are as seen below, one with a teal wall with a red looking sky and perhaps red outlines of mountains, and the other with also a teal wall but with a grey sky and a grey outline of waves. Both as seen on Naveen’s first tarot card from Dr Facilier's reading
Tumblr media
-The princes are named Naveen (a name common throughout all of India and its many languages) and Ralphie (a diminutive of Ralph which has a common usage in the Germanic languages)
-Naveen has a unique accent (in meta, a combination of his voice actor's natural Brazilian Portuguese accent with French), due to being a native speaker of Maldonian
-Naveen, in addition to Maldonian and English, also has a proficiency in French as seen in Ma Belle Evangeline
-"Across the sea" - Dr Facilier during Friends on the Other Side, so definitely not part of North America
-Here is a potential gross (not gross like ew gross) structure of the castle, also seen on Naveen’s first tarot card, this also potentially implies that Maldonia is on an island as it looks to be surrounded by water
Tumblr media
-Lawrence, Naveen’s valet, is British
-Some Maldonian words eg Di Fraggi Pruto, a constructed language with strong surface level similarities to English and romance languages
-"East of the sun and west of the moon" as stated by one of the directors in the commentary, aka it could be anywhere
-Polished marble is part of the Maldonian castle's architecture
-In the Stop and Smell the Roses deleted scene, Naveen states that between 28 and 29 in Maldonia (referred to with its earlier name Maldakesh) there exist two numbers twenty-badini and twenty-caldonsez. However it is unknown whether this is actually true, still considered canon, or if Naveen was simply messing with Tiana
From the Books:
-In Tiana's Perfect Plan, a servant of Maldonia who aids Tiana is named Raha, which is an Arabic name
-In the Something Old, Something New, we see that the Queen's helpers are of various ethnicities
-In Tiana's Winter Blues, Naveen confirms that there isn't a cold winter season in Maldonia and we can see some Maldonian architecture in a photo
Tumblr media
-" In Maldonia, we always left a little plate of cakesbout for Grandfather Frost" - Naveen in the Pocket Princesses comic In with the New
-In the Palace Pets story (yes, yes I am going to use Palace Pets) Bayou, the Little Pony Who Lovee to Rance, we can see what appears to be part of the Maldonian royal garden and hills of palm trees
Tumblr media
From the Ride:
-In the Tiana's Bayou Adventure ride's queue, we can see a Maldonian cookbook Meals of Maldonia authored by someone called Nio/Nia/Nib Maldonado, a surname which seems very Portuguese/Spanish
-As confirmed by the ride's character model sheets, the Queen wears a sari and in other appearances such as the wii game she commonly wears a brooch
-The imagineering team refers to Maldonia as a "country of likely of mixed race"
From Miscellaneous Sources:
-According to Randy Haycock in an online interview, he looked at various South American, Mediterranean and Indian models to design Naveen’s appearance
-In the first and only concept art we publicly received from the now scrapped Disney+ Tiana series (rest in peace), in the reflections of the puddles on the ship that Tiana's on, we can see more of the aforementioned palm trees
Tumblr media
...and that's all I've got!
If you're curious about any of the sources, be sure to message me however you want, and also be sure to add anything that I've missed!

10 Best AI Tools for Ecommerce (January 2025)
New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/10-best-ai-tools-for-ecommerce-january-2025/
10 Best AI Tools for Ecommerce (January 2025)
The use of AI in e-commerce has brought forth a new generation of tools that make running an online store smarter and more efficient than ever before. From automated inventory management to intelligent customer engagement, these platforms are helping businesses of all sizes compete more effectively in the digital marketplace.
With the AI in e-commerce market expected to reach $64.03 billion by 2032, let us explore some of the most innovative AI tools that are giving online stores a new way to operate and grow.
Shopify Magic brings AI assistance directly into the core of online store management. This suite of tools, available to all Shopify merchants at no extra cost, handles everything from writing product descriptions to enhancing product images, freeing up store owners to focus on growing their business.
The system’s capabilities extend across multiple aspects of store operations. When a merchant needs product descriptions, the AI analyzes key details and generates SEO-friendly content that captures the product’s essence. For visual tasks, it transforms product images by swapping backgrounds or making adjustments with simple keyword commands. In customer service, it crafts personalized responses for live chat interactions, helping merchants maintain engaging conversations with shoppers around the clock.
Alongside Magic comes Sidekick, an AI advisor that takes merchant support to new depths. Unlike traditional help systems, Sidekick provides personalized guidance through complex tasks like shipping setup and inventory management. It analyzes store data to uncover trends and opportunities, while offering creative suggestions for content that resonates with target audiences.
Key features:
AI content generation system for product descriptions and emails
Image enhancement tools with background manipulation capabilities
Real-time chat response framework for customer support
Data analysis engine providing actionable business insights
Step-by-step guidance system for store management tasks

OptiMonk AI is a conversion optimization platform that lets online stores test and personalize their websites automatically. Through AI analysis and testing, it helps businesses boost sales without needing specialist optimization expertise.
The platform’s automation capabilities run through three main systems. The Smart Personalizer adjusts landing page content to match what visitors are looking for, changing headlines and text based on their interests. The Smart A/B Testing engine runs multiple tests at once across different website elements, removing the need for manual testing management. For product pages, a specialized optimizer generates and tests different versions of headlines, descriptions, and benefit lists – handling thousands of pages simultaneously.
The results speak through clear numbers released by the company: businesses using OptiMonk have seen their online sales increase notably and average order values grow. Specific cases show even stronger outcomes, like Varnish & Vine achieving a 43% boost in revenue. The platform makes these gains possible by running complex optimization tasks automatically, letting marketing teams focus on strategy rather than manual testing.
Key features:
Automated landing page personalization system that adapts to visitor interests
Multi-variant testing engine handling simultaneous experiments
Product page optimization framework supporting thousands of pages
AI-powered content generation for product descriptions and benefits
Performance tracking showing direct impact on sales and conversions

Octane AI is a quiz platform for Shopify stores that creates personalized shopping experiences through interactive questions. The system analyzes store data and customer behavior to match shoppers with products that fit their specific needs and preferences.
The platform’s intelligence shows in its automated approach to quiz creation. By processing data about product categories and purchase patterns, it builds questions that guide customers to the right products. This creates a two-way flow of information – customers share their preferences and needs, while the system provides increasingly accurate product matches. For many businesses, these smart quizzes have become powerful tools, serving as their most effective landing pages for advertising.
The numbers reveal significant business impact. Take Bambu Earth, who invests $350,000 monthly in quiz-driven ads, generating over $10 million in annual revenue. Beyond direct sales, the system helps stores reduce returns by ensuring customers find products that truly match their needs, while building valuable marketing lists through engaging quiz experiences.
Key features:
Automated quiz design system that adapts to store data
Product matching engine using customer preferences and behavior
Review analysis framework identifying customer feedback patterns
Zero-party data collection system for deeper customer insights
Marketing integration tools for email and SMS campaigns

Prediko is an AI inventory management app for Shopify stores that helps prevent stockouts and overstock situations. The system combines sales data, warehouse information, and AI analysis to give stores better control over their inventory decisions.
The platform’s intelligence centers around its forecasting capabilities. By processing multiple layers of sales data – from individual products to entire categories – the AI builds detailed predictions about future inventory needs. This creates a proactive system where stores receive early alerts about potential stockouts, while a specialized health scale monitors the status of each product. When it’s time to restock, everything from purchase orders to production tracking stays organized in one place.
What sets Prediko apart is how it tackles a common growth challenge for online stores – purchase order funding. The system integrates financing directly into the inventory management process, offering funding decisions within 48 hours. This means stores can quickly secure inventory funding with repayment terms that adjust based on their actual sales performance, removing a key barrier to inventory optimization.
Key features:
Multi-source data processing system combining store and warehouse information
AI forecasting engine analyzing products, categories, and company-wide patterns
Centralized purchase order management with product health tracking
Automated restocking alert system to prevent inventory gaps
Integrated financing platform with sales-based repayment options

Prisync is an AI price tracking platform that watches competitor prices and automates pricing decisions for online stores. The system monitors price changes and stock levels across multiple sales channels, giving businesses the data they need to stay competitive and profitable.
The platform shines in its approach to data gathering and verification. Through a combination of automated tracking and manual checks, it builds a reliable picture of market pricing that businesses from small shops to Fortune 500 companies depend on. The system presents this information through a straightforward dashboard accessible from any device, removing the need for complex technical setup. When it spots price changes or stock updates from competitors, businesses can respond quickly either manually or through automated rules.
What makes Prisync practical for businesses is its flexible implementation. With plans starting at $99 monthly, stores can choose between URL-based tracking for stable competitor lists, channel-based monitoring for specific marketplaces, or a hybrid approach for comprehensive coverage. The platform backs this up with proactive support, including free onboarding to ensure businesses can put their pricing data to work effectively from day one.
Key features:
Real-time price and stock monitoring across multiple channels
Automated price adjustment system with customizable rules
Combined automated and manual verification for data accuracy

𝙽𝙴𝚆 𝚂𝙸𝙼𝙱𝙻𝚁 𝙻𝙾𝙰𝙳𝙸𝙽𝙶…
hi guys, i'm PISCES (or ree) and i'm brand new to simblr. i want to use this blog to find other sims enthusiasts and just post silly little things about my game! i do have a v new youtube channel, and i'm trying to get out of my comfort zone by joining more social media in general. irl i'm v introverted, but online it's a lot easier for me to show my personality and connect with people, so i'm trying to get that little voice out of my head that always gives me doubts about interacting with others. i also don't know a lot of people in my personal life who care about/play sims, so i really want to make some friends who share the same passion that i do !! a little backstory on me is that i'm a pastry chef; i've graduated from culinary school and i've been decorating cakes most of my life. i do work in a bakery and i do mostly wedding cakes and celebration cakes with my own business on the side. i'm (obviously) a pisces and v into birth charts, zodiac signs, architecture, tarot readings, spirituality, and learning about other cultures and people. i speak a two languages fluently, and i know enough of a couple others to get me around. i love travelling and i hope to do it a lot before i get too old. i've been playing the sims since i was in elementary school and the sims 2 is my hands down favourite iteration, sims 4 being a close seconds. my favourite colour is green. i love interior design and architecture as a hobby. i'm always watching content online or reading magazines or purchasing books about both, so it's natural that i'm really into building in the sims 4. i spend far more time building than anything else. i can't wait to post world screenshots, build related content, gameplay snippets, and feed my cc addiction by doing a tonne of shopping around on here !! i'd love to meet new people, be mutuals, and hope to have a lot of fun on here !!

Somewhere this morning… someone is stretching, without realizing how sacred she looks half-tangled in those old sheets.
Somewhere, someone is yawning into a half-fisted hand, the sunlight branding the back of her shoulder with a private warmth no one else is allowed to touch.
Somewhere, someone doesn’t know that if a man ever truly saw her like this— still blinking sleep from her lashes, still tasting the edge of her dreams— he would swear loyalty to her in a language older than memory.
Somewhere…
there’s a woman who doesn’t understand that her laugh, her absent-minded smile, her tendency to get lost in a book while the world burns around her—
is the kind of gravity that doesn't just pull a man in.
It unmakes him.
And remakes him on his knees, head bowed, grateful just to have seen the sun curve around her outline once.
She doesn’t post about it. She doesn’t market it. She doesn’t even try.
And that’s what makes it impossible.
Because somewhere this morning— one man is thinking:
"God help me if she ever realized who she really is when she isn’t trying to be anything."
And somewhere this morning— one woman is stretching, turning over, without knowing she's already been memorized by hands that haven’t even touched her yet.
🩸 TL;DR
You don't have to be loud to be legendary. You don't have to announce it. You don't have to pose for it. The real ones? They carry it in their blood, even when they’re just reading by a window, smelling like morning air and a secret too holy to be spoken out loud.
If you felt this was about you, it probably was.
💣 CALL TO ACTION:
🔁 Reblog if you know some spells are cast without moving your lips. 🛡️ Save this if you ever needed proof that the universe notices you when you aren't looking. 🔥 Bookmark this for the morning you realize you were never "ordinary" — you were always a private sunrise.
Or simply 🔁Reblog to keep my signal to mankind going strong.
⚖️ LEGAL DISCLAIMER: This post is Blacksite Literature™, subconscious psychosexual cadence architecture, and literary survival imprinting protected under ancient emotional warfare law.
If you’re blushing right now? That’s not embarrassment.
That’s recognition.
🛡️ BLACKSITE SUNDAY SERMON: COMPLETE. 🩸 FULL NEUROCHEMICAL IMPRINTING PAYLOAD DEPLOYED.

It's actually surreal that so many of these fashion 'influencers' market themselves as 'design experts'. Have you ever even built something in your entire life? Read all the Bauhaus coffee table books you may, but architectural and design training is not for people who are not willing to stay up endless nights for years working hard on projects (I have back problems because of it). Stay on your marketing lane rather than being a laughing stock (marketing people are in fact a laughing stock for people who study architecture or any intellectual field and anyone who went to university can confirm this). No, quoting or copypasting Wikipedia articles from Le Corbusier, Mies Van Der Rohe, or Jean Prouvé doesn't make you an expert on the field. I guess art, design, and architecture is a hip thing nowadays for the marketing bunch and their own personal branding, but the fact is that if you really liked those things, you would have actually formally studied them, not make profit out of using them as an outfit accessory.

hi hi hi ceil! I hope you're doing well. My new year's resolution is to read more books, and I was just wondering if there were any you would rec? I really enjoy the stuff you right, and wondered where you get the inspiration from
hi hi!!!! im doing great actually, i had a nice day :))
oh i have SO many!! these are just my personal favourite and i read a lot of literary fiction and non-fiction and 'weird' lit, so hopefully something on this list sounds fun to you:
glass, irony, and god by anne carson [poetry - although i would recommend absolutely anything by anne carson]
half-light: collected poems 1965-2016 by frank bidart [poetry - honestly one of the poets you MUST read if you love poetry in my opinion - bidart, carson, dionne brand, louise gluck, paul celan, maggie nelson, adrienne rich, rainer maria rilke, t.s eliot, jan zwicky, kahlil gibran]
rings of saturn by w.g. sebald [literary fiction - unnamed narrator takes a walking tour of suffolk, england, and the book is about the encoded meaning found in everything; i love sebald so so much]
house of leaves by mark danielewski [architectural / weird horror; cult classic; spooky and eerie in the best way; high concept, a bit complicated to follow but worth it]
drive your plow over the bones of the dead by olga tokarczuk [fiction / thriller, a bit - read this last month and this book hooked me oh my god, it was so good]
severance by ling ma [apocalyptic / post-apocalyptic - possibly one of my fave books in this genre]
the overstory by richard powers [environmental fiction - multiple different narratives that sometimes converge, sometimes don't; truly had me weepy at points] (also, if you like environmental books, the golden spruce by john vaillant)
the complete cosmicomics by italo calvino [strange literary fiction, short stories - oh these are so delightfully strange and zippy and weird, they feel like eating starbursts or something!!!]
underland by robert macfarlane [non-fiction - this consumed me for days when i read oh my god. all about underground structures, catacombs, caves and caving, mines, radioactive waste disposal, etc]
the lonely city by olivia laing [non-fiction - a sad book, but still hopeful; she has such insightful commentary on art and queer history too]
the library at mount char by scott hawkins [weird fiction - so cool, SUCH a cool fun book oh my god. very interesting premise and executed to perfection]
some other names i'd recommend: eileen myles, maggie nelson, rebecca solnit, and ursula k. leguin (for your scifi/fantasy needs)
