#Manu Temple

[ziggyplayedguitar96]

I just binged both seasons of Surviving Summer and I don’t think Poppy and Marlon should’ve got together. I feel like their relationship just came out of nowhere. Personally, I would’ve loved to see Poppy and Griff together. I feel like it would’ve been a perfect enemies to lovers relationship. It was set up so well too.

I'll never forgive myself II Mafia!Carlos Sainz X Reader

SUMMARY: Carlos's circle was small, extremely small considering his job and the fact he was a single father. You being the nanny to his son was the only person he had a different kind of trust a full, whole, and complete trust.

WARNINGS: Minor injuries, attempted kidnapping, screaming, angst/comfort.

A/N: Short but again please have patience with me cause I am slowly getting out of my block.

"Emanuel be careful!" You yelled to the 6-year-old kid at your care as he excitedly climbed up the stairs to the slide in the park close to home that you visited every day.

"Y/N Look Look!" Manu screamed as he positioned himself atop the slide ready to glide down.

"Wow! You're so-" You were distracted by the aggressive sound of tyre screeching.

You saw a black car stop in front of the park, two men getting out quickly hopping out the car as they rushed towards Emanuel.

"EMANUEL COME HERE!" You were faster than you'd ever done in your life towards him as you pressed the small button on the bracelet Carlos had made for you, a matching one adorning Manu's wrist. A panic button.

"Y/N!" Emanuel yelled your name scared as he sensed the sudden danger.

Emanuel was at the top of the slide and you were just able to reach it just before the men closed in.

"EMANUEL!" In desperation, you yanked him down from the top of the slide injuring him slightly in the process.

You clutched him tightly against your chest as you started running the men close behind you.

"SOMEBODY HELP!" You screamed in deep fear as you could feel the presence of the men right there.

You felt them clutch your hair and in pure instinct, you dropped Emanuel. "MANU RUN!" You yelled hoping to at least deter the men giving Manu a chance to run while Carlos and his men arrived.

You were yanked backward with force but didn't let your mind process the pain as you immediately clutched at both men holding them back from getting to Manu.

"PAPA!" You heard Manu's sobs although felt relief as you heard more tires screeching and soon after the men running away.

You rushed to get up getting to Emanuel.

"Manu, are you okay?" You held his face trying to examine him for injuries, your heart skipping a beat at the small bruise forming on his temple probably from when you yanked him off the slide.

"PAPA!" Manu screamed as he continued sobbing terrified. He got up running away towards his father who had quickly found his way to his son.

"Emanuel estás bien? (are you okay?)" Carlos examined his son as you did noticing the bruise, his eyes darkened in anger.

"Tras ellos! (go after them!)" He yelled at his men as they got in their cars to chase after the men.

"Carlos they came out of nowhere I-" You got up suddenly feeling the piercing pain shooting through your body from the way you were yanked back.

"You should've paid more attention!" Carlos screamed at you angrily as she held Emanuel trying to soothe him.

"Carlos I was-" Your attempts at explaining were futile.

"Why were you even here alone! You're fucking smarter than this! He got hurt and it's all your fault!" Carlos was seething, completely blinded by his anger and his terrified child in his arms.

"I'm sorry I-" This time you were fighting to talk through your own tears both of guilt and pain. Carlos had never raised his voice with you, even less after you started getting closer, crossing the line of boss-employee.

"Get in the fucking car!" He cut you off once more.

The car ride back to the house was silent except for the sniffles of both you and Emanuel.

"Y/n are you okay?" Emanuel asked from the car seat next to you on the back seat.

"I'm fine Manu. I'm sorry I hurt you." you held his small hand.

"It's okay, you were trying to save me." Manu offered you a small smile tugging at your heartstrings. "You're bleeding." He pointed out at your fingers.

You had some blood probably from cluthing at the men trying to stop them from getting to Manu.

"I'm okay." You quickly hid your hands away from him offering him a smile of your own.

You pulled up at the house and once again Carlos didn't say a word although you could tell he had significantly calmed down. He grabbed Emanuel taking him inside.

You watched them go taking a second to yourself as the pain you know felt across your whole body was presenting itself fully. You struggled to undo your belt and get out of the car with ease.

Once you got inside you could hear the shower running and you knew Carlos was getting Manu cleaned up giving you some time to clean yourself up before needing to look after Manu again...if Carlos would even want you to again.

Carlos POV:

"Manu, are you sure you're okay?" Carlos asked his son for the umpteenth time as he brushed his hair.

"Yes, Papa I just got scared but y/n protected me," Manu replied as he played with his figurines.

Carlos's heart ached knowing he was entirely too harsh on you but the terror that invaded his body was unlike anything he'd felt before when he saw you'd activated your panic button, it was something he wished you'd never had to use. As he drove to you and Manu a million terrifying thoughts raced through his head of what could be happening.

Once he turned the corner he saw the way you dropped Manu as the men yanked you back, you fighting to keep them away from his son. He was terrified for Emanuel but equally terrified for you which translated to anger. He was surprised at his own emotions taking over him, evidencing how much he truly cared for you.

"You were mean to her Papa." Carlos was snapped out of his thoughts. He looked at his son through the mirror in front of them, a frown on his son's face.

"I know Manu. I was very mean." Carlos admitted ashamed.

Once he got Manu to bed he knew he had to go see you. He walked to your room, he heard the shower running and he took the liberty to step in.

He saw your clothes, a few rips in them making a mental note to get you knew clothes tomorrow. He stripped before heading into your bathroom.

His heart broke at the sight of you. Watered blood rushed down your shaking body as you cried. Your back was facing the door so you didn't see him come in but the glass walls of the shower permitted him to see the fresh scratches on your back.

Carlos opened the shower door stepping in with you. You jumped when you felt his arm snake around your waist.

"Shh it's me, baby," Carlos whispered.

You continued crying, looking down and avoiding his eyes.

"I'm so sorry for screaming at you." Carlos turned you around gently careful not to hurt you further.

"I tried to protect him. I swear I did everything I could." Your eyes were puffy from all the crying you'd done which only broke Carlos's heart further. He hated himself for being the cause of it.

"I know. I know baby. You did, you protected him. He's safe." Carlos pulled you close kissing your temple and he felt you finally relax on his chest.

"I'm really sorry." You cried in his chest.

"No shhh. I'm sorry, I'll never forgive myself for screaming at you. I'm sorry I was just so scared." Carlos apologized again and again.

You finally looked up to meet his eyes, your crying dying down. You nodded accepting his apology. "My body really hurts."

Carlos leaned down pressing his lips to yours in a reassuring kiss. "I'll take care of you baby. Just let me take care of our family." He kissed you again.

Who is Bessmert

So, I bet all of us have wondered, since the "Notes on Shouri" event trrailer was announced, who exactly is Bessmert. After all, being an important character, but not playable, and with a very mysterious past and abilities, Bessmert is quite intriguing indeed. And now I'm gonna tell you who I think she is.

Fair warning though, this is a bit long, but I promise it's worth the read, so please stick with me until the end!

Let's start with the most basic evidence: Her appearence. She's tall, has grey hair, dresses in a typical exlorer garment with a big black coat over it, and has her eyes covered with a white cloth. But, most importantly, she looks quite similar to Vertin, and that's just where the similarities start.

Their accents are pretty much the same, as well as the calm way in which they talk most of the time, and they are very smooth talkers; able to convince people of almost anything.

Bessmert's team seems to be aware of this as well, since Krolik even requests she doesn't speak before they vote about going back, no doubt fearing she'll convince them to keep going.

Later on we also see her use this ability to convince Getian to help them solve the Lushu situation instead of running away, similar to what Vertin has done with Druvis and Jessica, for example.

Now, aside from this almost supernatural manner of speach, Bessmert is also similar to Vertin when it comes to her arcane abilities; she also doesn't fight directly, but is able to sense arcanum in various ocassions, something we've only seen Vertin do in canon, and that other characters have remarked how rare of an ability it is.

However, unlike Vertin, she can sense even more than just arcane skills, like nature-related phenomena, the environment around her, and even the intent behind other people's actions. To the point that she's able to walk around freely without having her sight.

I believe this might be because Bessmert is an adult, more experienced arcanist, but also because her blindness might amplify her abilities, since she uses it to make up for her lack of sight.

Although of course here there's the issue if she's even an arcanist at all... or perhaps something else entirely.

Getian tells her, as they are waiting for the miracle of "Ask and acquire", that the pattern he saw in her bones is unlike anything he's ever seen and, therefore, he can't read them. He also said tit unnerved him to the point of wanting to run away. This makes me think that Bessmert might be especial in some way, perhaps in the same way Vertin is; being immune to the storm, and there is evidence for this, surprisingly.

First of all; most of the places we know about that are a "safe zone" to the storm have one common feature; a fog or something that makes people hallucinate, get exited and/or pass out. These features are all present in Vertin's suitcase, the Uluru stadium and the Aperion cave. Not only that, but we can assume the agent responsible for this effect is Asymetric Nucleide R, a compound that is also found on the Manus masks and on the storm raindrops.

Why is this relevent to Bessmert? Well, it seems like Pei City is actually surrounded by the same kind of fog as that in Aperion and Vertin's suitcase, and the origin of it is the temple where people used to go for the Divination.

Now, Bessmert acts surprised when hearing this explanations from Jiu, and we can especulate that it's because she has been to one of such places before, but regardless, we know she and her team encountered such fog before arriving to Pei City.

After following the direction Yenisei's skill tells them has the strongest arcane energy in the area, they arrive to a place where everything suddenly changes; it's different, odd, surrounded by a weird fog and, most importantly, makes them very tired to the point of almost passing out.

However, Bessmert remains unaffected by it all. She especulates it might be because she's used to high altitudes, but they're going downhill, so I doubt that's the case. Plus, even when we see Yenisei's vision getting cloudy and that she almost can't go on anymore, Bessmert remains compleatly unaffected.

This is all reminiscent of Vertin being compleatly unaffected in the suitcase's spinning wheel area, the Aperion cave and the Uluru Stadium, while others pass out pretty quickly, and it leads me to think that Bessmert, very likely, is also immune to the storm.

And there's one last piece of evidence here: Bessmert's name, which in Russian means "Without Death" or "Immortal", and likely has something to do with her ability to survive even the ends of multiple eras. Although I also think this isn't her real name for two reasons: firstly it'd be far too convinient, and also she's very likely not Russian, but Britlish. Why? Because every other Russian character has a Russian accent, while Bessmert's accent is distinctively British.

So what does all this evidence point towards? I think we all know the answer, right? Bessmert is, very likely, Vertin's mother, or at the very least related to Vertin in some way. But considering Vertin is searching for her mother since the beginning of the prologue, and all we know about that woman is that she's "special" (Constantine's words) and the Foundation tried to cover up her existance, this mysterious woman with a lot of characteristics similar to Vertin's seems like the prime candidate.

But that's not all. I'm about to tell u some other theories about who Bessmert is that, although might not be as impressive as being Vertin's mom, are also interesting.

First: She's Urd. Yes, the explorer that went to Aperion and then wrote a travel note about it. First of all because it really seems something that Bessmert would do; travel to a remote island in search of a mysterious cave that grants answers (like Ask and Acquire). But also because Urd is very likely a pseudonym, since Urd is a type of *bean* from Asia.

And finally... Notes on Shouri isn't Bessmert's debut on the R1999 events. In fact, she appeared at the start of the very first event; The theft of the rimet cup.

In case you need a refresher, the event starts up with the newspaper boy trying to sell a newspaper to a "lady in black", who then turns around and the boy notices she's blind.

At this point, the lady asks him to read the news for her, promising to pay for it, which he obliges. Now, we never see her face, but we hear her voice, and it's eerily similar to Bessmert's.

Not only that, but that same voice finishes up the event, apparently dictating an article about the events we see unfold thoughout the story for the UTTU magazine.

Now, of course Pandora Wilson is the main editor of UTTU, but I wouldn't be surprised if Bessmert sometimes wrote articles for it as well, since she's so knowledgable about arcanists, and has traveled all over the world.

So yeah, I believe Bessmert is this mysterious voice in the rimet cup event as well.

But what do you think? Am I overthinking about this one npc way too much? XD. Let me know in the comments!

Lesbian Heritages

International view of woman-loving women, from archaeological finds of paired and embracing women, up to recent history. Khotylevo, Çatal Hüyük, Mycenae, Nayarit, Etruria, Nok, and the Begram ivories. Lesbian love in Hellenistic art, Thai murals, Indian temple carvings, and Japanese erotic books. Some called us mati, zami, hwame, sakhiyani, bofe or sapatão. Lesbians as female rebels: the Amazons, Izumo no Okuni, Juana Asbaje, Louise Michel, Stormé DeLarverie. Women who passed as men in order to practice medicine and roam the world. Punishing the lesbian: in the Bible, Zend Avesta, Laws of Manu; and demonological fantasies. Lesbian musicians (Sotiria Bellou, Chavela Vargas, Ethyl Waters), artists (Edmonia Lewis, Romaine Brooks, Yan María Castro), writers (Emily Dickinson), and actors (Garbo!) Lesbian clubs and scenes in Paris, Berlin, and New York. Lesbian feminists, and Arab, South African, Australian lesbians. And more…

Who thought that they would post drawings regularly? I thought.

Artblok thought differently.

And then in the chat they suggested drawing Sunstreak on Design meme.

I usually don't draw canon characters unless I'm asked to do so.

But my love for showing off my headcanons got me into drawing.

Sunstreak. And my headcanons for BeetleWings(and HiveWings, and SilkWings).

When I first saw the tribal designs, the wings quickly became the object of my ire.

Insect wings. which do not bend. and are attached only to the limb.

The last straw was the children Sunstreak and Clearsight. These massive Nightwings bodies have butterfly wings. And Hivewings can also have transparent wings.

Result: The wings are movable and cannot be transparent. But BeetleWings and descendants have an additional joint in the wing manus, which, when the muscles are tense, locks the wing motionless in an extended state. Other tribes don't have this. The wing membrane is attached to the body. And these are full-fledged wings, which have a shape similar to the wings of insects. The composition of the scales from the wings differs in composition from the scales from the rest of the body. Therefore, the wings feel different to the touch and their color may differ radically from the main color.

Beetlewings also have wings like bees or dragonflies. Wings Silkwings are a mutation of the wider wings of Nightwings - the result of several hybrid generations.

On the other hand: antennas growing from the temples have no justification other than my personal whim. (I don’t like it when they grow from the forehead.)

Lord Surya ☀️ Talon Abraxas

Lord Surya is the chief of the Navagraha, the nine Indian Classical planets and important elements of Hindu astrology. He is often depicted riding a chariot harnessed by seven horses which might represent the seven colors of the rainbow or the seven chakras in the human body. He is also the presiding deity of Sunday. Surya is regarded as the Supreme Deity by Saura sect and Smartas worship him as one of the five primary forms of God.

Surya or the sun, often identified with Aditya, Savitr and Pusan, is another important Vedic deity. He is compared to a bird that flies in the sky and is described as the jewel of the sky. He gives light, produces day and night, gives power and strength to the living beings, makes them active and destroys their laziness and disease.

Surya had three wives, namely, Sharanya (also called Saraniya, Saranyu, Sanjana or Sangya), Ragyi and Prabha. Saranyu was the mother of Vaivasvata Manu (the seventh, i.e., present Manu) and the twins Yama (the Lord of Death) and his sister Yami. She also bore him the twins known as the Ashvins, divine horsemen and physicians to the Devas. Saranyu, being unable to bear the extreme radiance of Surya, created a superficial entity from her shadow called Chhaya and instructed her to act as Surya’s wife in her absence. Chhaya mothered two sons Savarni Manu (the eighth, i.e., next Manu) and Shani (the planet Saturn), and two daughters, Tapti and Vishti. He has two more sons, Revanta or Raivata with Ragyi, and Prabhata with Prabha. Surya is the father of the famous tragic hero Karna, described in the Indian epic Mahabharata, by a human princess named Kunti.

Surya’s sons, Shani and Yama, are responsible for the judgment of human life. Shani provides the results of one’s deeds during one’s life through appropriate punishments and rewards while Yama grants the results of one’s deeds after death.

Karna from the Mahabharata is also believed to be a son of Lord Surya.

Different Names Of Lord Surya

Lord Surya is hailed by 108 names – Surya Ashtottara Shatnamavali. The commonest among them are Aditya, Adideva, Angaraka, Arka, Bhaga, Brahma, Dhanwantari, Dharmadhwaja, Dhatri, Dhumaketu, Indra, Jaya, Maitreya, Prabhakara, Ravi, Rudra, Savitri, Soma, Teja, Vaisravana, Vanhi, Varun and Vishnu.

Lord Surya in Hindu Scriptures

In the Ramayana, Surya is described as father of the King Sugriva, who helped Rama and Lakshmana in defeating the demon king Ravana. He also trains Hanuman. The Suryavanshi dynasty of kings, Rama being one of them, also claims descent from Surya.

In the Mahabharata, Princess Kunti receives instruction for a mantra from the sage Durvasa; by reciting which, she would be able to summon any god and bear a child by him. Incredulous of the power of this mantra, Kunti unwittingly tests it on Surya, but when Surya appears, she gets scared and requests him to go back. However, Surya has an obligation to fulfill the mantra before returning. Surya miraculously causes Kunti to bear the child immediately whilst retaining her virginity so that she, as an unmarried princess, need not face any embarrassment or be subjected to questions from society. Kunti feels compelled to abandon the child, Karna, who grows up to become one of the central characters in the great battle of Kurukshetra.

In astrology

In Vedic astrology Surya is considered a mild malefic on account of his hot, dry nature. Surya represents soul, will-power, fame, the eyes, general vitality, courage, kingship, father, highly placed persons and authority. He is exalted in the sign Mesha, is in mulatrikona in the sign Simha and is in debilitation in the sign Tula. Surya is lord of three nakshatras or lunar mansions: Krittika, Uttara Phalguni and Uttara Ashadha. Surya has the following associations: the colors – copper or red, the metals – gold or brass, the gemstone – ruby, the direction – east and the season of summer. The food grain associated with him is wheat.

Surya Mantra

Surya mantra in Vedic astrology is the ultimate mantra to please Surya Deva. It helps people get rid of all kinds of diseases and gain mental and physical strength along with happiness and well-being. Chanting Surya Mantra daily shall also help the people attain prosperity and abundance. Not only does it develop a sense of assurance in the people, but also, helps overcome self-doubts and other mental distress.

The Surya mantra is:

।। नमः सूर्याय शान्ताय सर्वरोग निवारिणे आयुररोग्य मैस्वैर्यं देहि देवः जगत्पते ।।

Namah Suryaya Shantaya Sarvaroga Nivaarine, Ayurarogya Maisvairyam Dehi Devah Jagatpate

Meaning- Surya Deva, ruler of the Universe, you are the remover of all diseases, the repository of peace. I bow to you, and please bless your devotees with long life, health, and wealth.

Can I request a remus lupin x Indian (Bengali) reader?

you're the only person I trust to write this well

like maybe right after "the prank" the reader is like screaming at Sirius in Bengali and James, Sirius, and Peter don't understand it at all. and Remus, being the sweetie he is and having dated the reader for almost two years now, knows Bengali (he learned it for her) and gives them some translations of the monologue the reader is on as they try to process it.

if possible could you also include how and when Remus started liking the reader? (maybe they weren't even in the same friend group)

lmk if you happen to need any translations cuz Google can't be trusted. my DMs are open for you :)

WARNING: INVOLVES THE PRANK, KISSING.

TRANSLATION BELOW

Y/n paced back and forth, waiting for Remus to wake up. She was getting more restless as the hour passed. It didn't help that James and Sirius were looking at her with guilt.

James thought it was a good idea to explain himself and Sirius, "Y/n-" 

 "tui ekta gadha kothakar...toder ke matha ta haatu te thake? Beshi pakamo korte gelo..eik minute er jonne o bhabishni...tai naa? Bas Snape ke phaad e phela te aeto baisto chilish ke eik baar o nijer bondhu er o kotha bhabli na!?" Y/n furiously yelled at them. 

 James and Sirius looked at each other awkwardly. It made her more furious that they were sitting there without saying a word. But the reality was that they had never seen Y/n so angry and were scared to speak. "Boka Manus, gadha!!" 

 Y/n stopped her pacing and yelling when she heard Remus groan. She was immediately by his side. Remus smiled weakly as he saw her as soon as he opened his eyes. 

 "Did I ever tell you how much you turn me on when you speak Bengali, even though I don't understand a word?" Remus' voice croaked, and his body was almost numb with pain, but his smug smile was still intact. Y/n knew he was only trying to cheer her up.

 "Remus…not the time." Y/n politely berated him. She couldn't be mad at him. She knew this was his way to distract from the pain and guilt of what he did. "How are you feeling?" 

 "You want the truth?" Remus thickly swallowed, trying to keep his tears at bay. Y/n held his hand and ran her hand through his messy, sandy blonde hair. His eyes fluttered, and he let out a sigh. He forgot about his pain and his guilt momentarily. "I feel terrible. This should not have happened." 

 Remus glared at the pair of Marauders that sat on the floor. They didn't dare look up from the wooden floorboards. 

 "It's not your fault, Remus." Her voice felt like a cure for his pain. He looked into her eyes and wondered what he had done to deserve her. It felt like yesterday when he saw her in the library in the literature section. He had bumped twice against a bookshelf as he tried to get a good look at her.  

 "Is that what I'm to you guys now? A means to hurt someone you don't like? I know you guys hate him, but I could have killed him, and I would have to spend my life in Azkaban." Hot tears fell down his cheeks. 

 "Moony, we didn't mean for it to escalate like this," James explained. He was sweating profusely, trying to find the correct words to defend his actions. 

 "JAMES IF THINGS WOULD HAVE ESCALATED, HE WOULD HAVE DIED!!" Remus' voice echoed in the room. His cheeks were flushed with anger. His body was trembling as his mind offered scenarios of what could have gone wrong. "You two have lost your damn minds." 

 His breathing got normal when he felt Y/n's hand on his chest. Remus laid his head on her chest. Y/n felt his heartbeat, while Remus could hear her heartbeat. He closed his eyes and thanked Merlin that Severus was alive.  

 "Please leave, I don't want to talk to you two." 

 Sirius and James knew they had messed up badly when Remus didn't even spare a glance at them. Sirius tried to speak up, but Remus yelled, "I SAID LEAVE!" 

 Remus sighed and laid his head on Y/n's chest. He rubbed his temples, trying to rid himself of the headache that had annoyed him after he yelled at his friends. 

 Y/n gently untangled the knots in his hair as he stared into the distance. Y/n started to get up from the bed when she felt his hand tug at her wrist. 

 "Where are you going?" His eyes looked at her so desperately, as if he wouldn't be able to see her again. 

 Y/n softly chuckled, "Remmy I'm just going to get something to eat for you. You haven't eaten since yesterday morning." 

 "Please stay." His brown irises were clouded with tears, and her heart broke at the sight. Y/n wondered if Remus knew the effect he had on her. When he first approached her, she was skeptical of him. But all it took were a few silly attempts to flirt, and she could never stop smiling in his presence.  

 "Remus, love, you need to eat. You look weak, and you need to have your medicine, and then—"

 She was interrupted when she felt his lips on her. His trembling hands held her face as he deepened the kiss. Remus didn't pull away from the kiss until his lungs burned for oxygen. "I don't deserve you." He confessed as he nuzzled her nose. 

 "Maybe… but you know too much about me, so I'm not leaving you," she smirked with pride as he chuckled. Another thing she loved about Remus. She loved the sound of his laughter, and she loved it even more when she was the reason behind it. 

 "Please rest. I'll bring some juice and breakfast, and once your stomach is full and after you have taken your medicine, I'll cuddle with you as much as you want." She placed a sweet kiss on his nose and cheek as a reassurance that she would be back. 

 When Y/n walked out of the room, James and Sirius were waiting by the door. They looked at her nervously until James tried to speak up. "Y/n please make him understand we didn't mean to hurt him." 

 Exactly, you were not thinking straight, your one "silly prank" could have put him in Azkaban." 

 Her breath shuddered. She lost her balance, but Sirius held her. Y/n silently sobbed into Sirius' shoulder as he caressed her back, trying his best to comfort her. Y/n mumbled into his shoulder. "I could have lost him. I…I don't want to lose him." James and Sirius held her. James wiped his own tears. 

 His voice was heavy with sorrow. "I'm sorry, Y/n. Please know we didn't want to hurt Remus-" 

 "But you did…you know how dangerous it was. Dammit, you guys became Animagus to make sure Remus didn't hurt anyone. But you used his weakness to hurt someone." She looked at them. Her eyes were bloodshot and full of hurt. 

 Y/n got up and went to the kitchen to get Remus food, not sparing another look at James and Sirius. 

 When she got back into the room, her heart broke at how weak Remus looked. Y/n carefully placed the tray on the bed, waking Remus up with a kiss. She smiled into the kiss when she felt his hands on her hips. 

 Y/n mumbled against his lips. "I thought you were sleeping." 

 "If you wake me up like this, I won't be able to sleep again." 

 Y/n giggled as he pulled her closer. "Remus, be careful you will hurt yourself." 

 Remus frowned when he noticed her puffy eyes. "Dove…what's wrong?" 

 She sniffled as she wiped her tears. "Nothing Remmy. You take proper rest." She started tucking him into the blanket but he stopped her, holding her hand close to his heart. "Who hurt you, pretty girl?" 

 Y/n blushed. She shook her head. She knew Remus could barely move because he was in pain, but he was ready to fight anyone who hurt her. "My silly boy. You don't have to worry. It was just James and Sirius. They were apologizing and... I…it just hit me…I almost lost you, Remus." 

 Remus held her closer as she hiccuped between her sobs. He kissed her all over her face as he spoke. "Oh, lovie, my sweetheart. I'm so sorry." He rested his cheek on her head, softly caressing her arm as she heard his heartbeat. "I'm here, dove. I'm here with you." 

  A/n: Thank you for sending this request and being so patient. I hope you like this. REBLOGS AND COMMENTS ARE APPRECIATED.

 Remus kissed her. He didn't let her know internally how thankful he was that he made it back to her in one piece. 

Translation: you donkey, is your brain in your knees? You guys are so arrogant didn't even think twice. You were so focused on pranking Snape you didn't think about your bestfriend ?!

Surya, also known as Aditya, is the Hindu god of Sun, celebrated as the creator of the universe and the source of all life. He brings light and warmth to the world, traveling across the sky each day in his golden chariot pulled by seven horses, driven by Aruna, the personification of Dawn. The most famous temple of Surya is in Konark, Orissa, but it is worshipped across the Indian subcontinent and is also a minor deity in Buddhism.

Mythology and Origins

Surya first appears in the Rigveda, one of the oldest Vedic texts, dating back to between 1500 and 1000 BCE. It is depicted as the bringer of the Sun, riding his chariot across the sky and defeating the demons of darkness. According to myths, Surya is the son of Kasyapa, a Vedic sage, and Aditi, representing the infinite heavens. In other tales, his father is Brahma or Dyaus.

Surya had three children with Samjna (Conscience), the daughter of Visvakarma: Vaivasvata (one of the original men or Manu), Yama (god of the dead), and Yami (goddess of the Yamuna river). Samjna, unable to bear Surya’s brilliance, left him and lived as a mare in the forest. Surya, disguised as a stallion, mated with her, resulting in the birth of Revanta and the twin Ashvins, who accompany Surya in his chariot.

Surya’s Many Names

Surya is known by numerous names and epithets, reflecting his various aspects and powers. Some of his names include:

Vivasvat (Brilliant)

Savitr (the Nourisher)

Bhaskara (Light-maker)

Dinakara (Day-maker)

Lokacaksuh (Eye of the World)

Graharaja (King of the Constellations)

Sahasra-kirana (Of a Thousand Rays)

The Primarchs and their brothers, Part 3:

Fulgrim

1. The Lion:

“(he) quite literally defines the phrase ‘peacocking.”

2. REDACTED:

“He is a beautiful man. And, in truth, he is also a troubled one.”

4. Perturabo:

“Purple armor is a very good way of alerting the enemy to ‘shoot here,’ but I think that is rather the point.”

5. Jaghatai Khan:

“The Phoenician. From a world that has never heard of Phoenicia, given a badly transliterated name based upon his original cognomen (‘The Phoenix,’ or ‘The Phoenix Lord.’ ) That, I think, says a great deal.”

6. Leman Russ:

“No human being should wear that much perfume, cologne, musk, or… whatever it is he drapes himself in. I like my brother. I care less for migraines.”

7. Rogal Dorn:

“An exceptional soldier. Our tastes in art… vary somewhat.”

8. Konrad Curze:

“There is much to be concerned about. But much more to recommend him. He cares a great deal for other people, and this sometimes comes close to breaking him. If he does break… ”

9. Sanguinius:

“Speaks, sings, even thinks with the voice of an Angel. A being so suited to the restoration of culture, and yet so often expected to exterminate it. He is complex. There is nuance to him. I cannot say I always like him. But I do understand him.”

10. Ferrus Manus:

“Art is a wonderful thing. But not every thing we do should be labeled as such.”

11. REDACTED:

“A self important popinjay. Opinionated, self referential. Too much lapping powder. But for reasons I cannot quite describe, we are quite fond of each other.”

12. Angron:

“Blood stains and art meet only in the mind of an eldritch terror.”

13. Roboute Guilliman:

“A brilliant demonstrator of the practical.”

14. Mortarion:

“He has a talent for… making the most hideous thing beautiful. I am unsure how to process this.”

15. Magnus:

“The man has done more to save what remains of human physical culture than… just about anyone else now living. Which is ironic, given his calling, I think.”

16. Horus:

“The best and most capable offensive strategist I know. And, including my father, I have known nineteen paragons of that martial paradigm.”

17. Lorgar:

“The temples he has saved! The cathedrals he has destroyed!”

18. Vulkan:

“He is a polymath among polymaths. He has graced our forges, and our hearts. He is a fine man, and one of my dearest friends. Do not allow the silk wrappings to mislead you.”

19. Corvus Corax:

“The man is pained. I feel it in his words. I see it in his eyes. There is goodness there undoubtedly… but… there is something more, and it is something he hides well.”

20. Alpharius Omegon:

“My brother has the heart of a Lion, the personality of a Peacock, and the Moral Compass of a Viper. At times I love him. At times I loathe him. But he is always a presence to be carefully considered. Will he bite the heel, or protect the nest? Difficult to predict from moment to moment.”

HIDIMBI DEVI TEMPLE

Manali, a popular destination in Himachal Pradesh, is home to the Hidimbi Devi Temple, also known as the Hadimba Temple. Situated in Manali village, around two kilometres from the town, this temple is famous for the Phaghi fair held in honour of Manu Maharaj on the sixth day of Phalgun.

The temple, an ancient cave dedicated to Hidimbi Devi, is surrounded by lush greenery and Deodar trees, creating a serene atmosphere. Legend has it that during the Pandavas' exile, Bhima, one of the brothers, fell in love with Hidimbi, the sister of the local ruler, Hadimb. Bhima defeated Hadimb, married Hidimbi, and they had a son named Ghatotkacha. When the Pandavas returned from exile, Hidimbi stayed behind to meditate and eventually became a goddess, with the cave as her sacred abode.

The temple, known as Dhoongri temple due to its location in the Dhungiri Van Vihar forest, is a beautiful wooden structure with thatched roofs. While it's only 1.5 kilometres from the town, visiting early in the morning is advisable, especially during the busy summer season when Manali is often congested with traffic.
