↳ Victoria Shard, the beautiful manipulator

“Who? Ah, you are referring to Rodrigue, no? Well, he's….. Hm. Father said to steer clear of him, but alas, we happen to be in the same dormitory. Hah, if you ask me, it's rather ridiculous that he thinks he can try and pretend to be the villain everyone else sees him as. I see right through him.”

“Rather foolish, that girl. And her posture… Good god. Regardless, they happen to be acceptable enough despite their meek nature. And it seems they have yet to catch on that I know their secret. Not that it benefits me in any way, though.”

▹ †𝆤࿙๋࿙࿚⊱【 ♛ 】⊰࿙࿚๋࿚𝆤†

➜ Victoria didn't care much for Rodrigue, if at all.

˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ The two met shortly after Rodrigue settled in Pomefiore shortly after becoming a second year

˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ He heard of Victoria numerous times before that, but given her busy schedule, he was unable to interact with her the year prior.

˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ And… Well, let's say that Rodrigue didn't particularly like that she was so careless about her notoriety in both NRC — and their own dormitory

˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ When they met, she stared coldly at him, asking what business he had in trying to interact with her. This led to Rodrigue — sounding equally as cold — telling Victoria that her carelessness about her reputation is concerning and that she needs to keep that in check

˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ Safe to say… A rough start to their relationship.

➜ As concerned as he may be for Victoria, Rodrigue can't help but wish to befriend her from time to time.

˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ It's obvious to Rodrigue that he absolutely cannot stand that Victoria's perfectionism could get her hurt, yet she's too prideful to even get a grasp on that

˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ Regardless, he still has those moments where he can't help but admire Victoria. Romantic or not, doesn't matter, he can still see her as a respectable figure

˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ So, he'll have those interactions with Victoria where he'll subtly try to befriend her. If not fail miserably afterward because they both come off as cold toward one another

➜ Despite her father's warnings, Victoria continues to interact with Rodrigue — even in spite of the rough start of their relationship

˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ Victoria's father, Grand Duke Florian Shard, has heard many things about what Rodrigue's done in his homeland. And by all accounts, refuses to allow his daughter to associate with them due to their protective nature

˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ Victoria, however, refuses to follow her father's orders. Which… Is unusual. Usually, when her father or grandmother tells her to avoid certain individuals, she reluctantly obliges. This time, however, Victoria knew one thing for certain

˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ She knew Rodrigue was capable of redemption.

˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ And so, she interacted with him, essentially disobeying her father's orders. Naturally, Victoria doesn't usually come off as nice, but Rodrigue can at least tell that she cares

➜ Despite her blank — almost cold-hearted — demeanor Victoria was willing to overlook Rodrigue's past and (try to) befriend him, despite her father's initial warnings

▹ †𝆤࿙๋࿙࿚⊱【 ♛ 】⊰࿙࿚๋࿚𝆤†

➜ From the get-go, Victoria knew Marsyas was hiding something.

˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ Given that they're both 3rd years, Victoria's seen and heard of Marsyas since she was a first year. But like Rodrigue, she didn't have the opportunity to ever interact with them because of her schedule

˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ Victoria didn't bother trying to interact with Marsyas during her first two years. And neither did Marsyas, despite her admiration for the woman

˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ Compared to her first interaction with Rodrigue, Victoria was slightly less cold to Marsyas. Sure, she criticized Marsyas for the way she presented herself as a Pomefiore student, but she was still acting far more pleasantly to them

˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ But that's only because Victoria wished to know more about Marsyas. And not because she genuinely found her intriguing, as a person.

˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ At least…. Not at first.

➜ Rodrigue is unsure of how to feel about Victoria but is endeared by how much Marsyas — or rather ‘Cybele’ — speaks fondly of her.

˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ Cybele can't help but adore Victoria's fashion sense! Though she figured it was unsurprising to her — with how beautiful Victoria was, there was no doubt in her mind that she'd want to amplify her beauty (though that only happens to be an assumption of hers)

˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ She was also unsurprised that Victoria's well-versed in political affairs. Although…. She may have to be more careful around her regarding that topic, as she may have her moments of letting her political knowledge slip out of her mouth

˚₊· ͟͟͞➳❥ On the other hand, if Marsyas so desires, Victoria's ‘willing’ to assist her in any academic activities and/or anything regarding fashion. She just needs to reveal a little something of her to Victoria, and the latter will do the same.

➜ And all in all, as she can be a little endeared by them, Victoria knows Cybele's/Marsyas' little secret but chooses not to acknowledge it.

Hellooooo

Coming out from the ceiling to ask about Indulgent trope with...* pulls out list* please:

47. Zelda/Rodrigue 

91.Anpu/Anatolia

54. Shura/Keres 

You can choose of course !

ANDHRA.. YOUR HUGE BRAIN RAAA crying as i type these

[Trigger warning for mentions of death (Zelda/Rodrigue) and homophobia (Shura/Keres)? Just in case]

[47. one muse presumes the other is dead but is shocked when they show up alive again]

Zelda loved Rodrigue, they truly did. Ever since their first year in Terrovania together they've been inseparable, even as Rodrigue got sick, they didn't leave his side. Even when he died, they cried by his side, only being pulled away by Elvina. Despite their grief Zelda lived on, they kept his gifts, his photos close to their chest even after years, even starting NRC for the 4th time, they'd keep it till the day they perished.

It was their 5th time in NRC, it's fun getting into different forms, they adjusted their robes for their horns, they wished they had a custom robe like the Valley prince! It wasn't fair. They watched the new students get sorted into their dorm, even they got sorted into Savanaclaw, how fun! It was a mostly uneventful ceremony, until they saw familiar, red locks pass by them towards the mirror. For the first time in their life, Zelda stood there, mouth hanging open as the man they once loved and grieved over was sorted into Pomefiore.

Soon as the ceremony was over they ran after him, not letting their lion dorm leaders yelling stop them. "Rodrigue!" the mysterious red haired man stopped in his tracks, turning to the demon, pulling his hood down to reveal it was indeed Rodrigue.

"Griselda?-"

He said before being tackled to the ground by them, grimacing when his back hit the ground "My god! How! How are you alive!? Where have you been!? I was-" Rodrigue cut off the tearful demon with a hand on their cheek. "It's a long story.."

Zelda smiled, wiping their tears, then kissing the palm of his hand, "You'll tell me what happened or I'll never forgive you!" seeing their playful personality return Rodrigue smiled, "Fine, i will"

After their small reunion, the demon dragged the redhead to their dorm, once again ignoring their furry dorm leaders protests.

[54. one muse has feelings for the other but has not acted on them due to their association with another character (a sibling / relative / ex / etc. ) or an organization]

"God damn it Cerise."

Their oldest sisters voice made Keres flinch, they looked down at their lap, sitting on the couch as Maggie walked back and forth in front of them. "All we wanted was for you to find a good boyfriend, not only you're interested in a woman, she's a fucking criminal" Keres wanted to say something but she cut them of "You'll cut contact with her." "But-" they quickly shut up when Maggie slammed her palm on the table "Don't talk back to me!"

"If i hear you still talk with her you can say bye bye to Night Raven."

...

It was hard, trying to ignore their feelings for Shura, sure Keres always knew their crushes would never happen buy it was still hard when they've been getting closer with Shura. It hurt, at least they could distract themselves when they weren't at school events together. They didn't expect her to visit them out of nowhere though, bringing a gift, a small Keychain "For your collection." she said, with a smile, they smiled back. "I appreciate it." they replied, they hoped their tone didn't come out pathetic as they thought it'd... They wished to be with her but it seemed impossible now.

"I...need to go now. See ya."

They quickly left, leaving Shura confused but content that they liked the gift, she smiled "Weird gal." she said, not noticing the others eyes filling with tears, Keres couldn't help but cry, looking the small gift in their hands.

They just wished things were different.

[91. our muses run away together]

Anpu couldn't believe Anatolia's story, in the sense that it was tragic, he pitted her and her siblings. So he took her hands in his, looked at her sunny eyes. "Then let's leave Wonderland." Anatolia blinked, mouth hanging open in shock, "But... My brothers." Anpu couldn't help when his ears fell back, "I know, you care about them but it's too late for Eleusis and Orpheus... I just want you to be safe. Please."

It was silent between them, she couldn't leave her brothers despite everything but she knew she couldn't save them especially by herself but she also know Anpu couldn't help with limitations in wonderland... Neither of them truly had a choice, the time was limited, she had to decide. "I... I know. I'll come with you." Anpu gave her a smile, a one filled with sorrow and pity, he knew she was struggling and trying to help in the best way he could.

"We don't need much, we can run away whenever you want."

She nodded "Let's leave now, because i change my mind and regret." The Jackal God took ahold of her hands gently brushing his thumbs on her palms, "I love you." "I love you too." They exchanged words softly.

This was going to do be a new page in her life, one she choose to be safe.

[protector-of-graves]

I wanna know, out of the human contestants that are left. Who do you wanna fight the most?

(Mod use this as speculation for his fight >:3)

"Who I wanna fight?" The god tilted his head, "At this point I just want to fight! Mhm! Mhm!"

Anubis beams before humming, "We have a few contestants left, even less fights. Michel de Nostredam, Simo Häyhä, Grigor Rasputin and Sakata Kintoki." He counted up on his fingers, "Personally I guess I would like to-...hmm...I just wanna fight to be honest! Fight! Fight!"

While the god jumped up and down with excitement, the invisible camera shifted to the right moving Anubis out of frame and to a smaller woman on the roof of the colosseum. She waved, "Hiya... I'm gonna answer mod questions like this... kinda fun having your own insert, you know?"

The lady looked down to the still happy egyptian god, "I myself would speculate that they put him against Rasputin, death against the man refusing to die, but then again we have to keep in mind that Odin and Loki are definitely fighting still too. I don't know who they'd be up against though, Loki maybe against Nostredam and Odin against Kintoki." She sighs.

"But I'd also like to see Anubis go up against Häyhä, the sniper hunting the god so to speak. But my bet is on Rasputin."

Okay I’ll bite. What’s the insta girl’s favourite sushi place?

The insta girl, lol. Go say that to his wizard face… 👀

Anyway…

This is Michel de Nostredame's favourite sushi bar:

We call it "la Fontaine Moussue" and in it, there are fresh fishes… Like such:

There, you just grab one and chomp on it raw, as fresh as can be. It's very tasty and catch a lot of people's attention…

If you want a nice meal with your friends and talk philosophy and astrology, this is the place to be! (Like Siberia…)

No, this is bullshit, of course!!! Everybody knows Nostra loved a good couscous in the most iconic place! 👌

I have spoken… ✌️

Haiii 😳😳 can I ask for ∅ with Tom about Calixte and Valeria please ?

Yes ofc!!

Tom thinks Calixte is absolutely adorable and likes to dote on him a lot! And he’s very grateful for Calixte’s help with finding his prince :)

He’s glad that both of them share mutual interests, Tom likes to join Calixte with his gardening and taking care of plants sometimes. Maybe he’ll be able to help with his cousin with her perfumes. He’s pretty well versed in cosmetics after all 👀

As previously said, Tom likes adventuring!. One of the spots for many of his escapades is their rivaling school, Night Raven College! I’d like to think Tom would always bring Calixte along, using his UM to make themselves small to go around the school easier. They’re there for different reasons though, Tom looking for his potential suitors and Calixte just pranking— I mean, making friends with the NRC students 😇

Unveiling the Enigma: Exploring the Life and Prophecies of Nostradamus

Nostradamus, whose real name was Michel de Nostredame, was a renowned French physician, astrologer, and reputed seer who lived during the 16th century. Born on December 14, 1503, in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France, he rose to prominence for his book “Les Propheties” (The Prophecies), a collection of poetic quatrains that purportedly foretold future events.

Nostradamus’s prophecies, often written in an allegorical and cryptic style, have fascinated and puzzled people for centuries, sparking numerous interpretations and debates. Beyond his prophetic endeavors, Nostradamus was a trained medical practitioner and gained recognition for his innovative approaches to treating diseases, particularly during the outbreak of the Plague. He served as a royal physician and advisor to King Henry II of France, and his work continues to captivate the imagination of people interested in the mystical and the enigmatic.

Early Life and Education

Michel de Nostredame, later known as Nostradamus, was born on December 14, 1503, in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, a town in the southern region of France. He was the eldest son of Jaume de Nostredame and Renée de Saint-Rémy. The Nostredame family had Jewish ancestry, but they converted to Catholicism due to the prevailing religious persecution at the time.

Nostradamus received his early education at the Collège de la Trinité in Avignon, where he studied humanities and Latin. He displayed a keen interest in astrology and the occult from a young age. At the age of 14, he left Avignon and began his studies in medicine at the University of Avignon. His pursuit of medical education was motivated by the devastating Plague epidemic that swept through France during that period.

After completing his studies in Avignon, Nostradamus continued his medical education at the University of Montpellier, one of the most prestigious medical schools in Europe at the time. He studied under renowned physicians and scholars, acquiring knowledge in various fields such as anatomy, herbal medicine, and pharmacology. In 1529, Nostradamus received his medical degree and became a licensed physician.

During his time in Montpellier, Nostradamus gained a reputation for his innovative medical treatments. He was known for using techniques such as bloodletting, herbal remedies, and purging to treat his patients. Additionally, he emphasized the importance of hygiene and cleanliness, which were not widely practiced during that era.

After completing his medical studies, Nostradamus traveled extensively, gaining practical experience in treating various diseases and epidemics. He practiced medicine in different locations, including Agen, Lyon, and Salon-de-Provence. It was during his time in Agen that he faced the Plague outbreak, where he witnessed the devastating effects of the disease firsthand.

Nostradamus’s interest in astrology and divination grew alongside his medical career. He delved into the study of ancient texts on astrology, and his fascination with celestial patterns and their influence on human affairs shaped his future endeavors. He began developing his own techniques of astrological predictions, blending them with his medical expertise.

Throughout his life, Nostradamus dedicated himself to expanding his knowledge and honing his prophetic abilities. He immersed himself in ancient texts, studying works by authors such as Ptolemy and Galen, and delved into occult practices, including scrying and various forms of divination.

Nostradamus’s early life and education set the foundation for his future as a physician, astrologer, and seer. His medical training provided him with a scientific understanding of the human body, while his fascination with astrology and divination fueled his exploration of prophetic predictions. These diverse influences would later culminate in the writing of his famous book, “Les Propheties,” which would establish him as one of history’s most intriguing figures.

Prophecies and Writings of Nostradamus

Nostradamus gained widespread fame and notoriety for his book “Les Propheties” (The Prophecies), published in 1555. It consists of a collection of poetic quatrains, which are four-line verses written in a cryptic and allegorical style. Nostradamus claimed that these quatrains contained predictions about future events, ranging from natural disasters and political upheavals to the fates of individuals and nations.

The quatrains in “Les Propheties” are not arranged in a chronological or thematic order, adding to the complexity of interpreting them. They are written in a mix of languages, including French, Latin, Greek, and Provençal, and often employ metaphorical and symbolic language. Nostradamus intentionally used ambiguous wording, making it challenging to attribute specific meanings to his prophecies.

Some of the quatrains appear to reference historical events that occurred before Nostradamus’s time, while others are interpreted as predicting events that unfolded centuries later. The lack of specificity and the open-ended nature of his predictions have allowed for a wide range of interpretations, leading to countless debates and controversies surrounding his writings.

Nostradamus’s predictions have been subject to retrospective analysis, where people attempt to connect his quatrains to historical events that have already taken place. It is important to note that the interpretations of Nostradamus’s prophecies are highly subjective, and his predictions often rely on hindsight bias and creative interpretation to fit historical events.

Despite the skepticism surrounding his work, many of Nostradamus’s quatrains have been associated with significant events. For example, some have claimed that his writings predicted the rise of Adolf Hitler and World War II, the French Revolution, the Great Fire of London, the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and even the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. However, it is crucial to approach these claims with caution and recognize that they are often the result of retrospective cherry-picking and subjective interpretation.

Nostradamus’s prophecies extend beyond global events and encompass personal destinies as well. Some of his quatrains are believed to have foreshadowed the fates of notable individuals, including kings, queens, and political figures. These interpretations often emerge after the fact, when connections are drawn between the vague language of the prophecies and the lives of historical figures.

In addition to “Les Propheties,” Nostradamus wrote several other works throughout his life. He authored almanacs, which contained astrological predictions and general prognostications for specific years. These almanacs were highly popular during his time and contributed to his reputation as an astrologer and prognosticator.

Nostradamus’s writings, particularly “Les Propheties,” have had a profound impact on popular culture and continue to captivate the imagination of people around the world. His prophecies have been interpreted and analyzed by scholars, enthusiasts, and skeptics alike, contributing to a lasting legacy that remains steeped in mystery and intrigue.

This retrospective approach has become a common practice when examining prophetic texts, contributing to the fascination and debate surrounding his work.

Skepticism and Criticism: Nostradamus’s predictions have also faced criticism and skepticism.

Medical Practice and Royal Patronage of Nostradamus

Nostradamus, in addition to his prophetic pursuits, was a trained physician and had a successful medical practice. His medical career and his connection to the French royal court played significant roles in his life. Here are the details of his medical practice and royal patronage:

Medical Expertise: Nostradamus acquired a comprehensive medical education at the University of Montpellier, one of the leading medical schools of the time. His studies encompassed various aspects of medicine, including anatomy, herbal medicine, and pharmacology. He developed a reputation for his innovative medical treatments, which included techniques such as bloodletting, herbal remedies, and purging.

Treatments during the Plague: Nostradamus gained recognition for his work during disease outbreaks, particularly the Plague. He witnessed the devastating effects of the Plague firsthand and applied his medical knowledge to treat and care for the afflicted. His treatments and practices were considered advanced for the time and aimed to alleviate the suffering of the patients.

Royal Appointment: Nostradamus’s skills and reputation as a physician led to his appointment as a royal physician and advisor to King Henry II of France. In 1556, he was officially appointed as the royal physician and was granted the title of “Counselor and Physician-in-Ordinary” by the king. This appointment provided Nostradamus with royal patronage and protection, allowing him to further pursue his astrological and prophetic studies.

Relationship with the French Court: As a trusted advisor to King Henry II, Nostradamus enjoyed a close relationship with the French court. He had access to influential figures and was able to interact with the intellectual and political elite of the time. This connection brought him both recognition and support for his medical and astrological endeavors.

Almanacs and Astrological Predictions: Nostradamus published yearly almanacs that contained astrological predictions and general prognostications for specific years. These almanacs, often dedicated to royal figures, further solidified his position as an astrologer and garnered him favor within the court. They were highly popular during the Renaissance period and contributed to Nostradamus’s growing reputation.

Influence on King Henry II: Nostradamus’s influence extended beyond medicine and astrology. He was known to provide advice to King Henry II on matters of state and politics. Some sources suggest that Nostradamus’s predictions and counsel influenced the king’s decision-making, although the extent of this influence remains a subject of debate.

Protection and Support: Nostradamus’s association with the royal court provided him with protection and support throughout his life. His royal patronage shielded him from the religious persecution that plagued the era, as well as potential backlash from those skeptical of his prophetic claims. This support allowed him to focus on his studies, writing, and medical practice without undue interference.

Nostradamus’s medical practice and royal patronage played a significant role in his life. His expertise as a physician, particularly during disease outbreaks like the Plague, earned him recognition and respect. The royal appointment and close association with the French court provided him with opportunities, protection, and resources to pursue his astrological and prophetic studies. Ultimately, his medical practice and royal patronage contributed to his reputation and allowed him to leave a lasting impact on both the medical and mystical realms.

Final Years and Death of Nostradamus

Nostradamus spent his final years continuing his astrological and prophetic work while facing personal and professional challenges. Here are the details of his final years and his eventual death:

Loss of Family: In 1560, Nostradamus experienced the loss of his wife, Anne Ponsarde, to whom he had been married for over 20 years. The death of his beloved wife deeply affected him, leaving him in a state of grief.

Political Turmoil: During the later years of his life, Nostradamus witnessed political turmoil and religious conflicts in France. The Protestant Reformation was spreading, and tensions were rising between Catholics and Protestants. Nostradamus himself was accused of heresy, and his prophecies were seen by some as undermining the authority of the Church.

Writing “The True Centuries”: In the last years of his life, Nostradamus continued his prophetic work and began writing another major work called “The True Centuries.” It was intended to be an extension and elaboration of his earlier book, “Les Propheties.” However, he was unable to complete the work before his death.

Last Prophecies: In the years leading up to his death, Nostradamus is said to have made a series of personal prophecies that were not published. These prophecies were allegedly written in the form of letters addressed to his son, César, and contained predictions about the family’s future.

Illness and Death: Nostradamus’s health began to decline in 1565, and he suffered from gout and arthritis, among other ailments. On July 1, 1566, Nostradamus made his last public appearance, attending Mass in Salon-de-Provence. He returned home feeling unwell and passed away on July 2, 1566, at the age of 62.

Burial and Legacy: Nostradamus was buried in a local Franciscan chapel in Salon-de-Provence. His tombstone bears a Latin inscription, which translates to “Here lies Michel Nostradamus, a man admired for his virtues and learning.” His prophetic writings and reputation have continued to generate interest and fascination long after his death.

Nostradamus’s final years were marked by personal loss, political unrest, and ongoing work on his prophetic writings. Despite the challenges he faced, his legacy as a renowned seer and his enigmatic prophecies have endured, ensuring that his name remains synonymous with predictions of the future.
