@fadewalking liked for a starter - Nuven'in and Melchior
In a pocket of the Fade, sealed off from everything else, was the Vineyard of U'Vher. It was a sprawling, beautiful place: lush with rows and rows of grape vines, laden heavily with perfectly ripe fruit. The villa overlooking the vineyard was inviting: layers of horizontal lines led the eye on a path to the upper balcony where one could spy a private rooftop garden. It was beautiful, but empty as a tomb.
The air in the Vineyard was still, as though it were suspended in time. There was no breeze, no movement of fauna or fowl. Even the soft breathing of its single resident didn't even put a dent in the heavy silence.
Nuven'in dreamed. She dreamt of many things: of empires rising and falling, of heroes and villains and great romances. She dreamed of a people diminished and a culture lost. She dreamed of a familiar face, saddened, and a hole torn in the sky.
Yes, she slept and she dreamed. Until something happened that wasn't a dream. A pulse in the Fade, a quickening of her heart that drew her from Uthenera.
Someone was at the door.
Well, she thought. I ought to go greet them.
-
The Vher'viane was settled in a neat little corner of the rear-gardens. It was easiest, there, to smuggle people in and get them to the cellars where they could rest and sometimes heal before moving on. Magnolia trees bracketed the Eluvian, obscuring its view from the other parts of the gardens. Nuven'in walked barefoot in the grass, disturbing greenery that hadn't moved since...well. However long it had been.
The mirror's face was still dark, but there were pulses. Someone was knocking, trying at the wards, but not yet getting through. She hummed to herself. There was always the chance that the Evanuris would find the door and try to enter. If this visitor was truly an ally or a refugee, they would find the way inside. If not, she could always sleep a little longer.
Curling up on one of the stone benches just a little ways away, she dozed and waited.
Finally, her guests broke through and the Vher'viane came awake.
Stretching out on the cool stone bench, Nuven'in grinned at her visitors.
"Andaran atish'an," she purred.

❝ need a hand? i’ve got two. ❞ // Melchior
Witcher Sentence Starters // @nekrotisch
"At this rate, I might have needed three." Melchior sighed as he stood before a massive tree which he could have sworn they had passed three times previous. He sighed, exasperated with the crudely drawn map in his hands.
"Or better yet, a couple more sets of eyes, and maybe a new brain." He raised a brow as he passed her the makeshift chart. "You don't have things like that, do you? In jars, I mean." he had seen her with enough skulls and other bones to make him wary of the possibility.
"This is where the Veil Jumpers told us we needed to go, right?" he pointed at a little 'x' marked by a statue of a wolf, then traced his finger a distance across a few more difficult to parse drawings before landing on a giant oak. "And here's where we are... I think?" Another sigh, this one equal parts desperate and frustrated.
"I don't know. We're in a forest. What kind of landmark is a tree in a forest?"

Melchior knew little beyond the small bubble he grew up with in Tevinter. He learned fast with the Shadow Dragons, and even faster with Rook, but much of the world was still obscured to him. Circles outside of Tevinter, for instance. He had known of the war, of templars mistreating mages, he'd heard vaguely about Kirkwall, all big picture. Admittedly, oppression in Tevinter had ruled his world so completely, that he had never really considered what the day-to-day might be like for the marginalized outside of his homeland. Not until Rook spelled it out.
Now it made perfect sense. And familial aches were not distant to him, either. Melchior had only ever known love once, from his mother. And though she always did her best for him, it hadn't been enough. There were parts of his own past that should not still hound his heels. And yet—
He took the letter from behind his back and held it squarely in both hands, brushing his fingers over the red wax seal, thoughtfully.
"You are a very brave man, Rook." He began, voice deep and steady as he peeled back the seal with his thumb. "I have seen it for myself, on many occasions. You sacrifice much of yourself for Thedas, the world, this team." It didn't escape Melchior's notice, all the very late nights Rook worked, the weight and consequence of no-win choices placed upon him. This work was as hellish as it was rewarding.
"This letter, whatever it says, it shouldn't matter. But it does. And that is... Infuriating. Unjust." With the seal lifted, Melchior quietly unfolded the fine parchment, exposing its guts. He took a cursory glance on instinct, but discerned only a vague intention from the words. Reading, for him, was an active effort. Instead, his eyes trained back on Rook to find him shirtless.
Melchior had heard the rustling of clothes as he'd spoken, but hadn't, until now, lifted his gaze to look. Scars. And not just battle-born. They were familiar to him, the long lines that cascaded over and parallel to each other. Lashings. He had some himself. A weight in his chest sank to his stomach, and he felt it too—fire.
"I understand," He acknowledged in a voice tight and quiet, compensating his rising anger. "In the way that I can."
It was no secret among them that he had come from Tevinter's finest servitude. Slavery dressed in barely cared for euphemism. It wasn't something he spoke of past the initial explanation of who he was when he'd joined Rook's team. In some awful way, if his own scars could offer any thread of connection to help the man he'd come to respect so deeply, then he was glad for it.
"Facing it... I imagine it feels daunting. But ignoring it will not free you. Burning it will haunt you. The challenge lies in meeting it head on, Rook. They are strangers, and you've fought dragons and archdemons."
He placed a heavy hand on Rook's bared shoulder, a gesture meant to soothe.
"You can face this. You can look at whatever it may unearth for you. And you can defeat it. I know it. I've seen you stare down worse."
Melchior produced the opened letter and brought it around to Rook's eyes, handing it back to him. It was his letter to read, his monster to fight, but Melchior kept beside him, hand still gripping his shoulder. He did not have to fight it alone. He hoped that would be enough.
Tumblr media
He had said it didn't matter twice, hadn't he? He was normally better with words than that, not one to repeat himself oft unless it was of service to those he was training. The desire to swallow it all away and not contend with it weighed heavily upon him. It didn't matter, it couldn't matter, it shouldn't matter. It shouldn't matter in the slightest.
Melchior pointed out, though, that perhaps somewhere, buried deep in his mind and away from his sight, there may be some matter to it. Ogden was just sitting there, letting it exist. With an anxious feeling at opening but an inability to destroy it. What was he expecting from it? Was he—
The sudden movement drew his attention and he attempted to pull his hand back, keeping it away from Melchior, but he had been too distracted.
"Hey—!" But it was too late. He already had it and all Ogden could do was glower from beneath a heavy brow.
Melchior's attempts to persuade Ogden were of little effect. "You don't get it, do you?! It shouldn't matter, because I didn't matter! They threw me away once I wasn't of use to them anymore in climbing up their damn social ladder! Let me be locked up and—" He bit his tongue, taking a step back, trying to cool his temper.
"Fuck it, take it," he snarled, turning his back to Melchior to find something else to have his attention. Anything else. "I don't give a shit what it says. I haven't heard a thing from them in twenty-five years. They're strangers."
Maybe he would go and practice. Get some of the steam off. Setting training dummies on fire had such a soothing effect. He began to take his top off, intent on changing into his training attire, focused on getting the fire put out.

Robinson Crusoe on Mars (1964)
My rating: 7/10
I had rather pleasant memories of watching this as a kid, and it does hold up fairly well - there actually seems to have been quite a bit of thought put into the world-building, even if the world they built is nothing like actual Mars. Even "Friday", who is, of course, mostly made up of Noble Savage tropes, is a bit more nuanced than you'd expect in a 60s space adventure. Nicely done, Ib Melchior!

Wayfarer 2024 Roadmap
It’s the start of a new year and I’m excited to announce my plans for Wayfarer’s development.
The primary focus for 2024 is finishing Episode 3 and starting Episode 4. My goal has always been to get the alpha build to the point where it is one episode ahead of the public build, and forcing my way through this period has been very difficult. Episode 3 has turned into a more challenging endeavour than I anticipated due to its sheer size and complexity. I did not intend to take over a year to finish it, but if I’ve learned anything from the creative process it’s that it is unpredictable and things never go according to plan.
The 2024 roadmap is for an idealized scenario. I am hoping I have given myself enough wiggle room should things go off-course. With that in mind, the plan for the last 6 months of the years is an estimate and will likely change. Regardless, the goal remains the same: finish Episode 3, finish Episode 4, and release Episode 3 publicly.
Winter • January to March
This quarter will be focused on finishing the next stages of Episode 3. Episode 3 is divided into 4 parts:
Part 1: the beginning of the episode, following the routes that occur if the player ends Episode 2 with Aeran or Veyer. This part is finished and was added to the alpha build in May 2023. It includes over 300,000 words of playable content.
Part 2: the beginning of the episode, following the routes that occur if the player ends Episode 2 with Melchior, alone, or drunk. This part was skipped over and will be returned to at a later date.
Part 3: the middle of the episode, split into three different routes that eventually bottleneck at a specific point. This part is currently in-progress, with Route 1 nearing completion.
Part 4: the episode finale
January and February will be devoted to writing Episode 3 Part 3, which includes finishing Route 1 and completing Routes 2 and 3. In March, I will code that material and playtest it. Once it has been thoroughly playtested, it will be added to the alpha build (playable on my Patreon).
March will also see an update to the public build. Patch 2.7. will not add any new content, but it will patch reported bugs in Episodes 1 and 2 and update some quality of life issues.
Spring • April to June
This quarter will be focused on writing Episode 3 Part 2, the Episode 3 finale, and coding and playtesting all of the remaining material. Should all go according to plan, the Episode 3 alpha will be finished at the end of June. All routes will be playable for members of my Patreon.
The next round of playtester applications will open in May. Playtesters are volunteers who play the alpha build in search of bugs, continuity errors, and typos. They get first access to new content, and updates and patches before anyone else does. Because Wayfarer’s gameplay includes hundreds of choices and many, many variations that build on each other, playing multiple times and checking different options is essential for testing to ensure each area of the game functions as intended.
In June bonus content (short stories, writing tutorials, worldbuilding and lore posts, etc) will return to my Patreon. It is currently on a break, but the backlog of extras and specials are available to members of the Apprentice tier.
Summer • July to September
If the Episode 3 alpha is finished on time, this quarter will start the development of Episode 4. Episode 4 is divided into three separate routes that have no-crossover and each feature a main companion. Alexia’s (Route A) will be worked on in August and Ren’s (Route B) will be worked on in September.
This is an estimated timeline and is subject to change.
Fall • October to December
The last quarter will see the end of Episode 4’s development. This includes Calla’s route (Route C) and additional coding and playtesting. A second round of playtester applications will open in October. If all goes well, December will see the release of the Episode 4 alpha on Patreon and Episode 3 will launch on the public build.
This is an estimated timeline and is subject to change.

He raised a brow at Anarchy. That answer was certainly more colorful than expected. But then, he hadn't particularly expected anything positive either. Still, 'bitch' seemed especially blunt. What he did know of Mythal was a mixed and murky review at best. She had ruled, protected, and owned slaves. That last part alone made Anarchy's loathing understandable. But this... sounded personal.
He opened his mouth only to promptly shut it again as he more carefully considered his words.
"I don't know what Solas can hear, actually." he admitted. "Sometimes it's like he already knows what I'm seeing. Other times, he presses for details." He shifted hesitantly, before continuing.
"But she can't have been everything. In the murals, in his regrets, he turned on her, despite whatever else she meant to him. So, what was it that was worth more to him than her? And what else fuels your hate for her? Besides the obvious, I mean."
Anarchy could not help the way his body flinched at the mere mention of her name, eyes closing as he looked away from Melchior. It took him a good few moments to process the rush of emotions that nearly overwhelmed him, a few stray sparks of his lightning skittering up Anarchy's arms that he shook off harmlessly as his eyes opened.
"Mythal... I guess before I answer I need to know just how much Solas is aware of while we talk. Can he hear everything?" Anarchy asked, head tilted to the side. He knew Solas would not be happy in the least if he divulged all he knew about the fellow elvhen's relationship with Mythal; which honestly he was struggling to care about in this moment.
"Actually, fuck it. Mythal's a bitch." Anarchy spat the words out, letting his venom come to the surface. "She is everything to him. Everything he does, it always comes back to her in some way, shape or form. He'd burn the world down if she asked, probably is right now without it. She was the best of the Evanuris but still it was never enough for me. I could tolerate her when she was just General during the wars but the moment she accepted the position of Goddess... All bets were off."

riot kings merfolk au HCs for mermay?
- instead of psychics, Nabi and Mercury are known as "witches". Their powers still mostly focus on the mind, but Mercury is able to grant merfolk the ability to shift into human form for a short period.
- the Riot Kings are all mer. So that includes Melchior, Wes, Sammy, and Alec.
- this scene would've ended with Wes shifting back into his mer form and having to be quickly brought to a tank so he doesn't suffocate.
- Mercury never activated Melchior's shifting in order to keep him more helpless.
- Nabi also has the ability to grant it and gives it to Melchior before asking the captain (or anyone) for permission. Greer isn't pleased.
- Melchior in a tank c: (bonus: Mer!choir being taken out of the tank or half suspended so that he can barely breathe)

❛ Saving lives is just as arousing as ending them. He likes to play God. ❜ from Melchior @ Nuven'in
@fadewalking | Hannibal Season 2 Sentence Starters
"An interesting choice of words." Voice lifted with curiosity, Nuven'in reclined on a chaise in one of her villa's many lounges. Rays of sunlight beamed in from the high windows to warm her feet. She blinked slowly, savoring the heavy warmth of the room and the pleasure of company. Melchior's visits were the most entertainment she got these days, confined as she was to her vineyard.
Shifting to drape herself more comfortably, she reached out to pluck a blackberry from the table between them. "Especially considering who we're talking about," she chuckled. "Gods are locked into their own natures: bound by mysterious rules and uncontained by what mortals may deem as right and just, yet reduced to how mortals perceive of them in their worship."
She pressed the blackberry between her lips and hummed as its bright, tart juice spread over her tongue. Arousal took many forms, some animal and some of higher thought. She once spent centuries traversing the entire spectrum at her whim.
Head tilted, she went on: "What, then, is the nature you believe Solas has locked himself into?"

Your muse gestures for my muse to sit down. // for Melchior
Nonverbal Prompts // @prophetries
Why did the gesture feel so oddly like he was in trouble?
Maybe it was the somber expression on her face, and that he perceived her as a figure of authority. Classically, he did not have great experiences with authority.
Still, he sat, seeming somewhat stiff. Maybe he was misreading her. Maybe the serious press of her lips was imagined. He didn't know her well enough to be sure. Or maybe, whatever she wanted to talk about had nothing to do with him at all.
"Is everything alright?" he asked, his voice low and steady.

There was definitely something.
The faintest scratching sound behind the catacomb's rock walls. It could have maybe been mistaken for one of Dock Town's many rat denizens, were it not for the sickening twist in Melchior's gut that raised his hackles.
The moment Lucanis drew his rapier, he mirrored with his greatsword. Seeing that otherworldly glow in Lucanis' eyes always had a way of unsettling him. But he trusted Lucanis. That was all that mattered.
The stench, as it hit, thick and almost viscous, was disorienting on its own. The accompanying screeches, blood-curdling, immediately shot adrenaline through his veins. Lucanis bolted past him in a blur, and he steeled himself.
If Melchior had to choose between Venatori and Darkspawn, he might have preferred to save the Venatori for last. Better left with the devil you know.
On the other hand, maybe it was more practical to take them out first. They were the more cunning danger, even despite the alarming spike in intelligence the Blight had shown lately. Melchior, unfortunately, did not have the luxury of time to weigh strategy.
He cut down the small roguish darkspawn that sprung immediately out in front of him. Like slicing through some kind of grotesquely diseased butter, he thought. That left two Venatori gladiators in his sights. In practiced formation, they raised their tower shields and advanced.
"I've got these guys!" He called to Lucanis. "Get those mages!"
Tumblr media
@fadewalking - "listen. did you hear that?" - For Lucanis from Melchior
question prompts // always accepting
Lucanis rests his hand against the wall, feeling for any subtle vibrations that might give additional details. Melchior’s words make him pause, his brow furrowing as he tries to decipher the sound coming from down further into Dock Town’s catacombs. There’s an itch behind his eye that indicates a change in the veil but it’s Tevinter - it’s not entirely unusual. 
          “ There may be more darkspawn from before we might have missed ” Lucanis’s voice is quiet, the man rising to his feet once more. His hands drop to his side to unsheathe his rapier, eyes narrowed slightly as he begins walking forward. Lucanis’s eyes flicker purple for a moment as the demonic energy courses through him, Spite prepared to assist as needed. 
Tumblr media
     That’s when it hits, the sudden smell before the howls of darkspawn and venatori suddenly permeate the area. Lucanis darts forward, blade clashing with the claws of a darkspawn before he successfully removes said claws. 
          “ The Venatori first! ”

Archduke Ferdinand II (1529-1595), Knee Piece in Eagle Armor
Artist: Francesco Terzio (Italian, 1523-1591)
Date: c. 1550
Medium: Oil painting
Collection: Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna, Austria
Description
The knee-length portrait shows Archduke Ferdinand II in the so-called ‘Eagle Garniture’, one of the most expensive ensembles of plate-armour made during that period. Ferdinand is depicted at the height of his regency in Bohemia. He wears his trademark ‘Bohemian hat’, a head-covering made of felt and silver wire. On the table beside him lie a mantled helmet with a red plume, a gauntlet and a red sash. These military accoutrements probably allude to Ferdinand’s military command in Hungary against the Ottoman army in 1556, where he was responsible for the organisation of supplies of food and munitions for the royal fortress of Szigetvár.
When Archduke Ferdinand II was appointed regent of Bohemia in 1547, his exceptional position as supreme representative of the House of Austria demanded a display of magnificence at court. This also included operating an armoury, which produced not only military equipment but also suits of plate-armour and accoutrements for courtly tournaments. Armourers who worked for Ferdinand included the Nuremberg-born Wolf Keser (also Kheser), Melchior Pfeiffer and Wolfgang Kaiser. One Francesco Ligozzi (also Ligotza) is also mentioned as a ‘harnischmaister’ (master harnesser).
The Court Armoury was kept very busy supplying equipment for the numerous tournaments that Ferdinand hosted, notably those in 1556, 1559 and 1560. New suits of armour were also made for the Hungarian campaign of 1556. The Prague harnesses are typified by their elegant lines, compact, rounded shape and high waist. Other remarkable features include the burgonets made in two pieces, a striking motif of scales on the gorgets with powerful corded edges and the lames (overlapping plates) of the pauldrons (shoulder-guards) divided into two sections.

Adoration of the Magi
Artist: Jacopo Bassano (Italian, 1510–1592)
Date: c. 1555–1560
Medium: Oil on canvas
Collection: Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna, Austria
Adoration of the Magi
With his rural scenes and their convincing realism, Jacopo Bassano brought a new accent to Venetian painting. At the same time, in his finest works including this one, he proved himself to be a leading exponent of Mannerism at the height of that period. With extremely bold contrasts of colour and refined design, he unexpectedly paints realistic details and abstract motifs right next to one another.
What the Bible says about the Magi or three Wise Men
We assume that there were three wise men because of the three gifts that were given: gold, incense, and myrrh (Matthew 2:11). However, the Bible does not say there were only three wise men. There could have been many more. Tradition says that there were three and that their names were Gaspar/Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar/Balthazar, but since the Bible does not say, we have no way of knowing whether the tradition is accurate.
It is a common misconception that the wise men visited Jesus at the stable on the night of His birth. In fact, the wise men came days, months, or possibly even years later. That is why Matthew 2:11 says the wise men visited and worshiped Jesus in a house, not at the stable.
We know that the magi were wise men from "the East," most likely Persia, or modern-day Iran. This means the wise men traveled 800 to 900 miles to see the Christ child. Most likely, the magi knew of the writings of the prophet Daniel, who in time past had been the chief of the court seers in Persia. Daniel 9:24-27 includes a prophecy which gives a timeline for the birth of the Messiah. Also, the magi may have been aware of the prophecy of Balaam (who was from the town of Pethor on the Euphrates River near Persia) in Numbers 24:17. Balaam’s prophecy specifically mentions a “star coming out of Jacob.”
The wise men were guided to look for the King of the Jews by a miraculous stellar event, the “Star of Bethlehem,” which they called “His star” (Matthew 2:2). They came to Jerusalem and asked concerning the birth of Christ, and they were directed to Bethlehem (Matthew 2:4–8). They followed God’s guidance joyfully (Matthew 2:10). When they arrived in Bethlehem, they gave costly gifts to Jesus and worshiped Him. God warned them in a dream against returning to Herod, so, in defiance of the king, they left Judea by another route (Matthew 2:12).
So, the magi were men who 1) read and believed God’s Word, 2) sought Jesus, 3) recognized the worth of Christ, 4) humbled themselves to worship Jesus, and 5) obeyed God rather than man. They were truly wise men!

"É o melhor couro do reino, os nobres estão se cutucando nas primeiras fileiras pra saber como obter um desses. Tem sorte de usá-lo, é uma peça única." Sally o ajudou a retirar o casaco grosso, o colocando de volta no cabide. Parte daquelas peças havia sido confeccionado por ela, e vê-los no desfile encheu seus olhos de alegria. Um sorriso permanecia em seus lábios. "Está tudo muito lindo, como um sopro de esperança... Já fez seus desejos de ano novo, senhor Melchior?"
Tumblr media
onde: festival da renovação.
quando: logo após o desfile mágico.
Tumblr media
desde a chegada em tão tão distante, melchior enriquecia e ninguém conseguia explicar como. sempre que existia um grupo de nobres, populares ou pessoas influentes do reino, o homem estava incluso pois era difícil ignorar a quantidade de moedas de ouro que possuía. a grande festividade de ano novo começou com um desfile e era óbvio que ele havia participado. "essa deve ser a roupa mais bonita que já usei na vida. e mais pesada também." comentou em um tom cômico, aproximando-se de muse com um cumprimento silencioso enquanto arrumava melhor o tecido contra o corpo. "o que está achando de tudo? o rei caprichou na decoração."

A section of the creature’s tail is exhumed from beneath the frozen tundra and transported to the National Aquarium in Copenhagen, where it’s placed in a cold room to be studied by Professor Otto Martens and his research team. But when the door to the room is accidentally left ajar, the tail segment begins to thaw, quickly regenerating itself into a gigantic beast! Now loose and embarking on a cross-country rampage, the military are forced to employ all means necessary to rout the creature - now dubbed “Reptilicus” - before it launches a full-scale attack on the capital.
Pre-order Reptilicus.
