Incurable Love
《♚ SLIGHT YANDERE / POSSESSIVE Zhongli X Reader ♚》
➳ Dynasty Au
➳ Warning : This content contains Yandere themes if you are sensitive please refrain yourself from reading it. This is purely for entertainment purpose, arts and pictures are not mine credits to respective owners, only the content is mine.
❖ You leap through the time to some dynasty and found yourself in the dark forest sunlight scatting through the leaves, on waking up you saw yourself surrounded by some men, the look on their faces made you feel some kind of outsider. They were dressed in traditional wear layers of clothes warped around them secured with leather belts, long hairs, head decorated with pretty accessories.
❖A man came forward glaring, your clothing style made them even more suspicious of you " What is your name? Who sent you here?", Starling you with his strict voice pointing a beautifully crafted weapon yet deadly in your direction that you assumed was sword. "Is this some kind of sick joke, some social experiment Hahah I ain't falling for this", you shouted looking around you for hidden cameras where are they? Other than that, it's illegal to bring people without their consent.
❖"Stop fooling around answer or die" something in his voice told you this all wasn't a joke as he put his sword near your neck. You cut your skin slightly in the attempts to push the sword away realizing it's not a play. "Do you wanna die so much?, General she doesn't look like an assassin", a young looking guy came forward, "Suspicious, everything about her is suspicious, her words, her clothes, her etiquettes, which country are you from?", Everything felt wrong you took a step back ready to run for your life while they argued with each other.
❖Your heartbeat accelerated as you ran faster than anything to save your ownself, curiously you turned your head and saw an arrow shooted towards you, subconsciously a scream left your mouth before you were pinned by the sharped arrow on the woods. "How bold are you?", General guy mocked you already on his way to grab your neck.
❖"Stop what's is this chaos for?", A deep commanding voice stopped him, he kneel down and bowed followed by all the other guys. "A sceptical girl has appeared, your majesty", he reported to the tall man dressed in all the luxury who made eye contact with yours, you adverted your eyes not wanting to offend these dangerous men after glaring at him. "Is this?", The man bend down and grabbed your chin to get a full view of your face, to find out from where you are.
"I believe people don't want to die unreasonable deaths I will ask you once where are you from?",
"I am from South",
❖You lied through your teeth making an innocent face these sharp men, hopping to not get caughted by them, his face held a cold expression clearly not showing whatever is going in his mind. "South? From felecoia island?, You hurriedly nodded your head after all you wanted was to get away from them and find your way back. "Why are you here?", "Work I need money to eat", you babbled out anything that could at least save you from his threatening presence. He was surprised, your clothing did amused him, even tho your speaking lacked manners according to the era.
——————————————————————
❖You were forced on Emperor Zhongli's laps reminiscing, if you would have not said the things that you said would you be somewhere else in life, why did it ended up like this?. "What are you thinking about? Today is my birthday, you should be enjoying", he said playing with your silky hair, you looked at the other side of the hall court officials drinking wine, enjoying, young girls dancing who were selected by the empress dowager so that Emperor Zhongli could choose one of them to be his wife or concubines on his birthday as gift, girls of powerful and influence families, beautiful and perfect in literature were dressed in a seductive way to win Emperor's heart but here he is looking at you with his heart eyes demanding your affection.
❖His face buried in your shoulders leaving kisses and smelling your intoxicating smell that always manages to calm him down, as you try pushing his body away with your hands that he took in his slowly intertwing, pulling your form closer, his left hands encircled your waist as he deepens the kiss running with passion as if he wants you to feel all his love towards you, his overwhelming love and desire that he can't hold back. Noble women looks at you with envy warning you to not get closer to the guy that they love.
❖Zhongli holds your hand to make you walk along side with him which was not done by any other Emperor before. Zhongli knows its wrong but he wants you to love him, piecing pain passes through his heart whenever you say you won't love him, leaving him at the verse of crying. Sometimes his love, loneliness, caring and gentle personality towards you melts your heart but his tendency to get jealous easily in small things makes you think otherwise seeing you pet an animal, he pushes it way and put his head in your lap asking you to caress his hair instead, trying to keep you closer to him all time and hugs you without your consent, making you think maybe it's a good choice to stay with him since you are not able to find your way back home.
❖Whenever you mention your timeline he holds you tight in his embrace afraid to let go so that you won't disappear. Zhongli do not show you his darker side, killing officials or their daughters and maids who plot against you on the spot, cutting their wives, husbands, concubines, sons and daughters' tongue but he isn't afraid to show you his clingingness, holding you down in his bed with him and making you his hugging pillow, trying to win your affection by showing you his pityfull and pathetic, lonely self. Surprising you that the most powerful Emperor who won each battles and states kneel infront of you begs and threatens you to love him.
❖You remember the time when you said, you liked cherry blossoms in one of your friendly lunches with Emperor, the next day you saw your backyard filled with exotic beautiful cherry blossoms trees making your jaw drop, unbelievable how did he managed to do such thing.
❖"My lady do you like it?, it's specially designed for you, each patterns are threaded perfectly, Royal tailors had spent sleepless nights to make this masterpiece asked by the Emperor", a representative tailor girl said as she carefully put the luxurious red robe around you looking for some mistaken errors trying not to displease the ruthless Emperor. Suddenly guards announced his arrival which caused head maids to retreat back, bow down and leave the chamber immediately as Zhongli springed towards you, trapping you in a hug.
❖"You look so beautiful my Empress, this should be enough", you tried to moved away from him "Empress who?, I am not any Empress", Zhongli poked your cheeks "Quit joking my love", he walked around you and stopped behind you causing you to be nervous who knows what he is planning?, Zhongli caressed your back or rather the pattern design, thread made of gold, it's Dragon's symbol which symbolizes protection, power, luck and wisdom most importantly possession of Emperor, with this on, no one will dare to come closer to you or lay their eyes on you and disrespecting you would be equal to violating Emperor's order, the punishment served will be execution, it's a simple warning to everyone.
❖Zhongli's touch caused you to jump and due to reflex you turned around to look at him, just what is this man thinking?. Zhongli grabbed your right wrist and pulled you to him making you clash against his hard toned chest, he affectionately caressed your left cheeks too drunk in your view to realize your struggles and kissed your right cheek lovingly before whispering in your ears with his deep husky voice a templating offer, "Be mine, let me love you and I will give everything you want, you are the only one I need, I am not asking much, my Goddess please be kind to me, grant me the chance to get your love, your precious than any treasure I own", before enveloping you in a desperate hug.
❖When he hugs you so affectionately but securely telling you how much he loves you that he can kill anyone, forcing you to promise that you will never leave his side whenever he finds out about your escape attempts from the shadow guards, dangerous then any other trained soldier who were assigned to guard you more like to prevent you from escaping, no wonder you always get caughted some or the other way each time you try.
❖You where gazing at all the other princes ( Emperor's brothers) gathered in imperial garden who knew they looked so handsome when Zhongli turned your face towards him by holding your chin with his index fingers " Your Highness.....what?", his angry face scared you after all he can execute anyone he wants "Go inside and wait for me", stealing a delicious view away from you "But", "Show her way inside", he commanded your maids who draged you inside.
"You should be my concubine"
"No way I will never share my husband with anyone I want to be his only wife and him to be my only husband".
❖You smiled to yourself satisfyingly he got no chance other than to leave you but instead of seeing a disappointed Zhongli you saw a blushing Zhongli, his Chief assistant was shocked who immediately turned his head in some other direction to not get his eyes plug out by the tyrant.
❖"How can I be so stupid, you shall be my only wife and be mine forever I shall be yours forever my dear wife", Zhongli said taking your left hand in his long pretty muscular hands and kissed your ring finger as your smile disappeared realizing that you digged your own grave.

𝕯𝖊𝖘𝖎𝖗𝖊𝖊 𝕷𝖊𝖘𝖙𝖗𝖆𝖓𝖌𝖊 // Character Profile
// template inspired by one developed by @thatravenpuffwitch //

Quirks: Often wears a pair of gold winged earrings; speaks in a French accent that makes the "s" and "th" sounds sound like a "z", making words like "this" and "so" sound like "zis" and "zo"
PERSONALITY
MBTI: ISTJ (The Logistician)
These people tend to be reserved yet willful, with a rational outlook on life. They compose their actions carefully and carry them out with methodical purpose.

Dislikes: Untidiness, flakiness, disorganization, cruelty, broken promises
Stance on les Non-Magiques: Desiree is rather ignorant when it comes to the Muggle World due to her very restrictive, blood purist upbringing, but she’s not actively prejudiced. She really admires of some of the technological advancements Muggles have made in lieu of magic, such as ocean liners, but she can sometimes look down on non-magic-users without meaning to, subconsciously treating them as more fragile and/or less capable. This doesn’t mean, however, that she feels any disdain or hostility toward Muggles, let alone people with Muggle ancestry -- she can just come across as a little tone-deaf and insensitive when she railroads through, thinking she knows best and can handle things on her own.

BACKSTORY
Older child and only daughter of the well-regarded and conservative French wizard Cyrille Lestrange, Desiree was raised alongside wealth, but it brought her very little happiness. Happiness was a luxury she somehow couldn’t afford – because from the moment her younger brother, Cyrille’s heir Marius, was born, Desiree was expected to set a good example for her brother and shoulder the burden of watching over him, supporting him, and fixing any of his mistakes. Part of this was because of her family’s patriarchal expectation that women should be dutiful to their family – part of it was favoritism on her parents’ part toward Marius, indulging the boy and spoiling him beyond reason simply because he was the heir they craved – part of it was the twisted logic that Desiree wouldn’t inherit anything from her father upon his death, so she couldn’t rely on it like Marius could – and part of it was a form of neglect that seemed to assume that because Desiree was the responsible one (largely because she was expected to be), she should be the one to shoulder all the family’s responsibilities, rather than it being distributed equally.
Regardless, Desiree wasn’t really given much room to complain or lament her circumstances – she knew her family needed her to be dutiful and responsible, and so she ended up compartmentalizing any loneliness or isolation she felt and plowing through with targeted precision. On her parents’ direction, she became both Prefect and Head Girl at Beauxbatons and then aimed for a position at France’s largest Wizarding Bank, the Banque Ducristaux, as a Cursebreaker. It was a job that paid very well and was very well-respected in the circles the Lestranges dabbled in, so it was thought that it would help Desiree achieve a worthwhile romantic match before settling down into domestic tranquility.
What the Lestranges hadn’t counted on was that Cursebreaking also involved a lot of travel – something that Desiree’s intellectual mind rejoiced in, since it let her experience so many wonderful things in person that she’d only ever read about in books – and it was through traveling to different tombs that Desiree collided with sky sailor Jules Aquila.
After coming across the same tomb, fighting over the artifact in question, and even having to help each other out in escaping some of its traps, the two ended up developing a working rivalry, colliding in several more locations and both bantering and cursebreaking several more times over. Jules found that their rivalry – and more importantly, interacting with the other – made the whole game a lot more fun, and before long, Desiree realized it too. And so, after Jules ended up in France and a bit too over his head, Desiree helped him out of it and then – to everyone’s shock – actually set sail with him, up into the air in his ship, the Empyrean.
Now Jules Aquila and Desiree Lestrange are almost never seen apart, sailing over the world and going on exciting new adventures everyday…and Desiree finally finds a dream that she can chase for herself, rather than someone else: to be happy alongside the first real friend she’s ever had in her life.
TRIVIA
~Desiree has never had any pets, due to her mother’s allergies and general dislike for animals. The closest she’s ever known is Jules’s familiar, Zephyr, who loves curling up on her shoulders like a stole.
~Desiree has a lot of trouble letting loose and having fun, but one thing she does end up discovering she really loves doing, whenever she travels somewhere new, is to visit every museum she can find. Learning new things was one of the few things that brought her any joy as a young girl, and she loves being able to learn whatever and as much as she wants whenever she wants.
~Marius resents the hell out of Jules Aquila for taking his sister away, since after Desiree left, he was forced to confront how much he’d truly relied on her and how little he truly knew how to do on his own -- something that greatly bruised the young man’s ego, given the toxically masculine home he and Desiree were raised in. He has tried to bully and gaslight his sister into returning home, but Desiree has very coldly shut him down every time.
~Desiree used to be a bit of a hoarder in the sense that whenever the crew of the Empyrean would discover anything of historical significance, she would hold onto it in her cabin, trying to meticulously study and care for each artifact. Over time, she comes to the realization that it isn’t practical to keep so many priceless artifacts on board ship and donates the vast majority of them to museums around the world.
~Don’t spend a lot of money on Desiree, if you want her to look at you with anything other than disdain. She received a lot of expensive furs and jewelry from Jacques Macnair back in the day while he was courting her, and she finds such things incredibly impractical. Something small, tasteful, and personal to her will make her much happier.
~Also please, for the love of GOD, don’t take something out of her cabin and then not put it back exactly where you found it. Desiree will go ballistic if she can’t find what she’s looking for because you messed with her stuff.
~Desiree encourages Jules to learn more Spanish by studying it too so she can help him practice speaking it. She also teaches him some French so that she can have short conversations with him that only they can understand.
~Out of the Empyrean’s crew, Kath has taught Desiree the most about Muggle technology. Desiree had never even touched a record player, Muggle or magical, before Kath pressured her to help fix theirs. Kath also taught Desiree basic life skills like how to light matches and how to preheat an oven.
~Kath and Desiree will also occasionally exchange snarky remarks in French under their breath and laugh really hard whenever anyone else on-board ship demands to know what they said.
~When Desiree first met Lugh Hopper, the two had a lot of trouble seeing eye to eye, with their rather opposite approaches to both life and cursebreaking. Desiree found rough-and-tumble, street-smart Lugh to be reckless and rude, while Lugh found genius stick-in-the-mud Desiree pretentious and bossy. What ended up softening Lugh to Desiree was how this usually quiet, sensible “princess” turns into an absolute nerd when it comes to languages and history. It’s a trait Lugh many years later recognized and similarly grew a fondness for in his honorary second “grandson,” Jacob Cromwell.
~Lugh and Desiree are both expert wizard duelists, so they serve as the resident “tanks” of the Empyrean’s crew, combat-wise. They also duel for fun frequently on deck, with Felix and Darian often taking bets from the sidelines.
~In the beginning, Felix Witt was very distrustful of Desiree, given she was both from a wealthy family and WAY more uptight and by-the-book than he was. And although Desiree likewise side-eyed Felix for becoming a thief of all things in the beginning, the two soon found a lot of common ground, both being the children of wealthy blood purist families with less-than-stellar reputations. Desiree finds Felix’s Muggle magic tricks so interesting that she goes out of her way to pick up several books on the subject so she can study them further.
~Of the members of Empyrean’s crew, Felix seeks out Desiree’s advice the most. Since Desiree speaks German, Felix feels the most comfortable talking out his problems in his native language with someone who’s also a pretty good listening ear. Desiree also helped Felix relearn how to waltz once, before the crew infiltrated a formal event on one of their adventures.
~Spoiled and naive Darian Zain reminded Desiree unpleasantly of her younger brother Marius from the offset. One would think this would prompt Desiree to coddle him, but nope -- if anything, Desiree puts a good bit of pressure on Darian and tries to encourage a strong work ethic out of him, wanting to make sure he isn’t “useless” the way her brother was. Desiree frequently conscripts Darian to come with her to the market and carry everything for her so she can run around like a busy bee and collect supplies faster.
~Desiree almost exclusively calls people “Monsieur/Mademoiselle (last name),” though occasionally she’ll dip into calling Jules “Captain.” Most of the crew adopts Jules’s nickname of “Desi” for Desiree, though Lugh will also teasingly call her “Princess” or “Your Worship” when she’s being particularly uptight or fussy.
~Desiree always had trouble with Astronomy as a girl because she felt like one could just see whatever they wanted, looking at a bunch of a random, unconnected dots in the sky. Jules’s enthusiasm for the stars rubs off on Desiree slightly while she’s on board the Empyrean, though she ends up taking interest in the study of Muggle astrophysics, since she finds stars interesting more for what they’re made of than the patterns they make up in the sky.
~Being demisexual/demiromantic and never having been allowed to make any real friends before, Desiree has expressed no sexual or romantic interest in anyone prior to Jules Aquila. She has, however, had quite a few admirers over the years for her supposedly “exotic” beauty, magical talent, and quiet subservience to her family. The man her mother selected as her intended was Yves Rosier, the dim-witted and rather unremarkable second son of the Pureblood Rosier family, but Desiree’s most prominent suitor was Yves’s schoolyard “friend” and current boss, Jacques Macnair, who is the only son of the infamous French gangster, Claude Macnair. Jacques even now is a bit territorial of Desiree and is incredibly jealous of and therefore very wrathful and vindictive toward Jules for earning her loyalty and affection.

Honestly, there’s probably going to be a pass at this with a different template, but I like the Corpse Reviver and wanted to design a drink highlighting exclusively Japanese ingredients. The Midori makes it feel a little throwback too, appropriate for a Showa-era show. No real joke this time, just a Friendly Reminder you can watch Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju and you really really should.
Tekerettsu no Paa/Shinigami
ABV 23.86% | Yield: 3.75 ounces | Equal Parts, Corpse Reviver, Classic w a twist, Up Drinks, Japanese Ingredients
22.5ml or .75oz Japanese Gin [Read Note]
22.5ml or .75oz Midori
22.5ml or .75oz Japanese Bermutto
15ml or .5oz lemon juice
8ml or .25oz sudachi juice
dash or spritz absinth verte
Rinse glass with absinthe. Shake all other ingredients and strain, garnish with lemon twist or maraschino cherry.
Regarding Japanese Gin: Nikka Coffey is my suggestion for those really accustom to the London Dry style, its juniper is similarly punchy. Angelica is common much as it is in American gins. Generally, the most defining other botanicals of the modern Japanese Gin category include citrus like yuzu, kabosu, amanatsu, and herbs or spices like sansho pepper or shiso. Tea, plum or persimmon may also feature. However, while a few use it, proper Japanese Gin largely will NOT emphasize one particular flavoring: Sakura, or cherry blossoms. there are brands on the market pretending to be Japanese -- heavy use of cherry blossom images, Japanese-ish sounding names, we’ve seen this before with fake Japanese Whisky -- but their flavors are completely wrong for this. Similar botanicals keep showing up in each of these ingredients in part to see how well they harmonize -- if they have the right “voice” together. I haven’t tried every Japanese gin, but commonly found ones like Roku[which contains sakura leaf as well as flower, teas, and sansho and yuzu -- by Suntory and 135 East Hyogo Dry by Kaikyo also work quite well.
On the other specialty ingredients...
Midori is commonly looked down upon as an ingredient, but it’s got some remarkable versatility from its tartness and slightly juicy flavor -- in my opinion, most cheap melon schnapps from the big brands and Spirits Direct labels aren’t as good, because instead of mimicking flavors from a fruit, the knockoff is just trying to mimic Midori, making a lot of them too flat or sweet. Midori, of course, is extremely easy to find in most countries that sell Beam-Suntory products.
Oka Kura Bermutto is a somewhat like a Sake Vermouth. It is junmai sake fortified with rice shochu and infused with botanicals indigenous to Japan. It is produced on the island of Kyushu. It includes some of the botanticals the modern Japanese Gin tends to contain, as well as yomogi, which is a wormwood, cousins to the Artemesia species traditionally found in vermouth and absinthe. I find it to have a very unique sharpness to it which makes it an interesting sub out for the quininized wine in the original Reviver. There’s really nothing else on the market like this.
Something I like to do to incorporate flavors of citrus that it’s harder to get my hands on by having the bottled juice from it “ride along” with some fresh squeezed lemon or lime. I do this sometimes with key lime in a early 20th century drink for example. Sudachi is a small bitter green citrus from Japan, and I think it works wonderfully here. Bottled sudachi can be found on specialty retailers like yummybazaar.

there’s a saying in the town of peach hollow, georgia, that strikes every one of it’s citizens the moment they hear it – a sarcastic little quip that warns you when you’re crossing an unspoken boundary. it’s saccharine in nature, but said with the right amount of irony, has the capability to implode even the strongest relationships.
❝ well, aren’t you just a peach ? ❞
a town so jaded by hysteria , it’s no wonder peach hollow is so still . a suburb once so lively with bright smiling neighbors and a thriving economy of locally-owned shops has become anything but since a faceless fiend took the town by storm some years ago . the townspeople whispered about a entity coined ‘ the peacher ’ for fear his antics would strike those who caused a ruckus . this town terror was known for their deviant acts which included exposing the secrets of those who held peach hollow so dear to their hearts . any white lie , any skeleton in the closet thought to be known by none was common knowledge to this person with a hunger for justice . marriages were charred , friendships were severed , some even lost their businesses once the peacher brought their truth to light . after all the pandemonium they had caused , when police brought their suspect out in handcuffs , it was no wonder the people cheered so gleefully . they were finally free from the clutches of a loose-lipped menace . or so they thought .
you see , with any commonly known troll comes copycats . people trying to replicate the leader’s doings or to help them thrive . tales of the incarcerated man being framed spread like wildfire through peach hollow but no hopeful soul wanted to believe that the peacher was still out there and mayhem was again on the horizon . but why was their tormentor suddenly so quite if the suspected rested behind bars ? some say they’re plotting a comeback .
let’s hope it’s not true .
~
𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: peach hollow is a semi-appless, secrets discord verse set in the fictional town of peach hollow, georgia. the small town is in recovery after someone notorious for exposing their secrets is finally caught. but when the suspect turns out to be simply a copycat, they fear that this entity’s return will be worse than it has even been. this group is strictly a discord verse for muses of all ages that will thrive on plot drops, events and in character interactions. -
𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬:
1. no ooc drama. pretty self explanatory. any issues need to be brought to the admins and any bullying or godmodding will not be tolerated.
2. there will be 12 mun limit (excluding admins) so please only join if you can commit to being active. with limited spots, this group can only thrive if everyone is active and excited about bringing the group to life. we will be doing an interest check every few days.
3. members may have one character to start. once we get settled and established we will increase the amount of characters than can be had. all character must be within a five year ( +5/-5 ) of their faceclaim and if in the future you pick up a second character, one must be a poc.
4. please be cautious about triggers. using spoilers and prefacing any triggering content is key to assuring that people are comfortable. that being said, there will be triggering content such as sex, drugs, alcohol, etc.
5. for the love of god, no bubbling. i know people tend to get in the habit of only writing with people they are comfortable with but with it being such a small group, you should have connections will at least half the group. admins will no hesitate to call you out if we believe, or someone else believes, you are bubbling.
6. have fun most importantly !!!

An Architect (INTJ) is a person with the Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, and Judging personality traits. These thoughtful tacticians love perfecting the details of life, applying creativity and rationality to everything they do. Their inner world is often a private, complex one. It can be lonely at the top. As one of the rarest personality types – and one of the most capable – Architects (INTJs) know this all too well. Rational and quick-witted, Architects may struggle to find people who can keep up with their nonstop analysis of everything around them. Architects, independent to the core, want to shake off other people’s expectations and pursue their own ideas.
Architects can be single-minded, with little patience for frivolity, distractions, or idle gossip. That said, it would be a mistake to stereotype these personalities as dull or humorless. Many Architects are known for their irreverent wit, and beneath their serious exteriors, they often have a sharp, delightfully sarcastic sense of humour. MORAL ALIGNMENT ➵ lawful neutral TEMPERATMENT ➵ melancholic
Your temperament is melancholic. The melancholic temperament is fundamentally introverted and thoughtful. Melancholic people often were perceived as very (or overly) pondering and considerate, getting rather worried when they could not be on time for events. Melancholics can be highly creative in activities such as poetry and art - and can become preoccupied with the tragedy and cruelty in the world. Often they are perfectionists. They are self-reliant and independent; one negative part of being a melancholic is that they can get so involved in what they are doing they forget to think of others.
HABITS/HOBBIES ➵ randomly braiding strands of hair, be it her own when she’s too in her head, or a friend’s, embroidering, gardening, collecting perfumes LIKES ➵ snow, silence, letters, honey, chamomile tea, olives, dressing up, cinnamon, classical compositions, wine, long baths, cooking, reading (especially poetry, or plays) DISLIKES ➵ vodka, fish, thunderstorms, tomatoes, being airborne, dogs, confrontation, running, public speaking

oKAY, SO! hana was born in seoul, south korea, in march of 1937, to moon si-hoo & min-young; a middle child, born five years after her brother, bo-gum, and a year and a half before her sister, sooyoung.
her maternal aunt, mina, took her to see ballet when she was a wee girl of approximately six years of age, and the reeeest was history. she was absolutely bewitched by the beauty & strength of it, the way they seemed to bend their bodies in such impossible ways yet look so ethereal. all she wanted from the moment she saw those ballerinas was to be that beautiful.
she’s never felt that beautiful, not even now, not even after she’s been lauded as the moon of russia.
the korean war between north & south korea happened between ‘50—’53, and in that war, she lost both her father & brother. due to seoul being captured four times. hana & sooyoung & their mom huddled up with basically all the women in their family, mostly on the maternal side, but even with the gathered, shared rations, they couldn’t keep up. when the war dwindled down, ending in that stalemate, that year, the state placed sooyoung, 14 yrs old, in the system to go to a home better cared for, seeing as their legal family was left with no man anymore.
it was around the time the infamous harry & bertha holt adopted 8 children from korea after the wars, making charity-adoption from debilitated countries as a trend. hana went to a different adoption agency, and instead of cherrypicking like the US started, the U.S.S.R. moved that entire adoption agency from south korea over to leningrad. keep in mind that russia was all pro-north korea btw??
she came to russia at 16. super traumatised, she basically clung to ballet as much as she could, but the months passing in russia, with her not even speaking the language, she lost interest and just floated. but her accolades were in her file; russia had acquired the orphanage as a power move.
irina & ivan volkov adoped her in ‘56. ivan told her to dance, and pushed her into bolshoi theatre, turning her passion into something that only ever makes her feel ugly anymore. she worked her way up from basically being a prop to becoming a principal dancer. reviews rolling in about how she can bring tears to an audience’s eyes, she moves like water, she looks unreal, she is mythic and mystic and melancholic. she gained popularity, the public is super jazzed over her suspected tragic backstory that ivan’s leaked and talked about when he was basically using her to progress politically.
however, about a month or so before the RP is set, though, she put a toe out of line, rejecting a pass a foreign dignitary made at her, she stabbed his hand with her fork... aaaaand now she’s a soloist, demoted, because it doesn’t matter that it was her face everywhere, her name in the papers, she’s still a puppet & she had to remember that.
which has just trodden down on her, made her feel small, and generally wounded her ego.
girl is a pisces sun / sag moon, she is repressing her Emotions™ — and it’s clearly gonna end so well.
Stay Tuned~

hello, its nora (she/her, gmt) n this is the ethereal but spoiled alma olive putnam (she goes by all 3 names cos she’s pretentious as fuck). raised in a farmhouse in vermont, big horse girl energy. very hungry for everything life has to offer. wakes up and smells the success in her blood. luvs the smell of libraries and listening to french music from a tinny record player in knee socks. here is pinterest. bio is below the cut, like this post to be bombarded with plotting messages but i might forget tho so pls message me x
application template.
『ELLE FANNING ❙ CIS-FEMALE』 ⟿ looks like ALMA OLIVE PUTNAM is here for HER JUNIOR year as a CLASSICS student. SHE is 21 years old & known to be RESILIENT, MAGNETIC, CALLOUS & PROUD. They’re living in PERKINS, so if you’re there, watch out for them. ⬳ NORA. 24. GMT. SHE/HER.
aesthetics.
a red beret nestled on top of bright platimum locks, neck scarves tied around your throat the way they do it in french new wave films, running barefoot through the woods in feckless hedonism, china dolls with porcelain faces lined against the walls of your room, the mona lisa smile, knee-socks tugged over the hockey grazes on your knees, a forged botticelli drying on your easel, ophelia floating in the middle of a lake.
proceed w caution, tw for death, drugs, alcohol, violence
the short form.
— studying classics cos she thinks it makes her sound smart, but actually hates fuckin latin and just loves learning about feckless hedonism and the festivals of bacchus and writing about how all women in myth are literally forgotten. was expelled from princeton in her first year so her parents basically paid her way into radcliffe but she made an impression.... like... super fast and in her sophomore year she was upgraded to perkins accomodation n a paid scholarship bcos i think the governors kind of expect to see her in the supreme court one day or.
— born in vermont in a big old farmhouse. her great-great-grandfather moved to america as an immigrant and worked on a plantation, made his way up cos he could speak a lot of languages and therefore win more people over. for the last two generations, putnam men have owned the farm and do little of the dirty work. big in the meat industry.
— both her parents had large personalities, so alma’s never really been shy around adults, even as a kid she’d speak to them in a forthright, confident manner, and because she was always surrounded by adults, she’s always seemed a bit wise beyond her years.
— very much a consolidation of every character in the secret history. has a morbid longing for the picturesque at all costs. obsessed with w.h. auden and the beat poets. — ”aestheticism is the only thing worth pursuing and even that is pointless” — is majoring in classical civilisation. can read ancient greek and latin. also speaks french.
— studies hard and plays hard. she gets top marks but it’s because academia is literally her life, she loves the smell of libraries, the ancient smoke of learning, of feeling like old wine in a new bottle reincarnated from the bones of some old, dead witchy woman who invented a cure for cowpox or somethin.
— isn’t a foward-planner, however. alma prefers to leave her options open, play the field, live in a spontaneous manner so her study style is mostly cramming a few days before a test, or staying up all night writing an essay on a massive adrenaline boost powered by red bull or probably adderall, scribbling (or typing) furiously into the night.
— pretentious motherfucker. loves poetry, especially the romantics, loves morbid ones too, edgar allen poe, sylvia plath, allen ginsberg, she just loves them all. can’t get enough. her favourite films are like…. wanky artfilm independent european cinema. especially french new wave. “what do you think of goddard’s work??” while snorting a line off someone’s sink at 5am on a school night, but you can bet she’ll make it to that 9am class. — very intelligent and beautiful and knows both of those facts. plays devil’s advocate. humanitarian, vegan. — judgemental but takes great care not to appear so. petty and vindictive
— obsessively devours mystery and thriller novels. she herself is a gillian flynn book waiting to happen. — tries to be an enigma. wants to be mysterious and unreadable because that’s what books have taught her makes women desirable and interesting and cool. very amy dunne in the way she expertly reinvents herself to suit her audience, when she wants to impress
— act like the flower but be the serpent under it. is a user. manipulative. leads people on. will throw another student under the bus to demonstrate her own intelligence and integrity — heavily involved in the theatre society. loves attention. — has an addictive personality. seems unable to do anything in a small dose, she has to let it utterly consume her. with sports, she’s fiercely competitive, runs track, played lacrosse at school, now is a cheerleader probably. with alcohol, it’s never a shot, it’s a whole bottle – wine or whiskey – she’ll be table dancing before the night’s up and making out with someone she’ll regret in the morning.
— her clothing style is like…. vintage thrift store but make it preppy. berets and cute hats, neck scarves, large fluffy cardigans or like those leathery jackets with big suede fringes on them, mini skirts (very 70s), and knee-high socks or boots. quite often she’ll be in sports kit, maybe a cute tennis skirt, n when she’s feeling casual she’ll wear like, a talking heads tshirt with a pair of mom jeans and converse, but otherwise, the library is her catwalk. — relates to ophelia from hamlet and sibyl vane in dorian gray. weirdly obsessed with women who commit suicide. loves jackson pollock paintings and abstract art. – likes old things. old books, old music, old houses, it reminds her of happier times like when she wasn’t alive. buys all her music on vinyl and has a gramophone because “the sound quality is better” kfdsjj.
plots.
here are some generic wanted plots but by all means message me so we can flesh them out more if any strike ur interest:
study buddies !! someone who is equally unprepared and so spends all night in the library with alma before a big deadline, maybe they even met in the library
if they’re from new england or vermont, then cousins . second cousins / extended family / family friends – probably spat volavons on your character once as children, omg childhood friends !
people who live in perkins n feel like they r constantly competing with one another to keep their place as one of the #elite only know each other from brief interactions in the lift or the canteen
honestly someone who is fully in love with her or crushing on her that she can just break would be sweet :/ or on the other hand someone she unexpectedly gets feelings for and actually wants to guage her own eyeballs out bc of it
frinds !! unlikely friends !! toxic friends !! former best friends separated by sporting or academic rivalries !
hockey / cheer friends who are on other teams but who she absolutely loves playin against!!!
fellow academics who like meeting up to discuss latin and greek ! gimme a secret society bonding by their love of ancient learning
i reckon she’s in a lot of societies, definitely the film club, maybe works as a projectionist at the uni cinema if they have one so give me ppl affiliated with that, give me fellow wanky pretentious art-lovers and poets and historians who will go to museums and galleries with her and listen to the velvet underground on vinyl
people she gets mortally fucked off her tits with at parties
people who think she is throwing her academic potential away by caving to hedonistic impulse
A SECRET SOCIETY !!! honestly i would die for a slug club esque thing in which the children of notable families are invited to dinners OR alma’s also an art forger, so maybe like a club of students set up to basically forge paintings and documents from the university special collections
people she has drunkenly made out with, hooked up with, or regularly sleeps with casually, maybe even a friend w benefits she is repressing feelings for, i love angst,
people she used to date or unrequitedly likes, but to them it’s just a physical thing, give me all the thirsty angst plots, and maybe some softness too, i need some religion in this girls life, she is a roman catholic after all
full biography.
alma olive putnam.
intro.
the girl is a knife. razor-sharp, double-edged, the bright shine of a two-faced, lovely thing. silver like the secrets you magpie thief from other heads. you’re a scavenger of knowledge, of tidbits, of gossip to lock away for later use and late-night re-inspection. a mind is like a clock if you get to learn the pieces. bit by bit, you dismantle the inner workings of the brains that tick around you – how easy it is to change it’s path, how words and their meanings can make a person laugh or cry in an instant. to have the power to control that is to be a god. it’s the power trip you crave wielding pom-poms in your hands; a possessive need for control that a younger you, small and weak, never had as a child. small lips, smaller smile, a doll clutched in your too-hungry fingers, hard enough to shatter the bones of a real infant. you cut your hair with your mother’s kitchen scissors before the autumn falls, rendering you out of season, unfit for the cold weather that beats against the nape of your neck, where a stick-and-poke marks the star you were born under ; the bull. “mama, when will i be a queen?” as soon as they find a crown small enough not to slip from your head.
biography.
if you get hungry enough, they say, you start eating your own heart. hands red, stained by pomegranate seeds, the empty pulp of its shell splattered on your thighs you find yourself wondering – what would it be like to want? in the beginning, you never knew hunger. twins, born under the same star, you first, him second – a nuclear family. never a sister to compete with, you were always the cherry pie of your parents’ hearts. white-haired, blue-eyed, beautiful baby of mine. the townhouse in vermont and the summer house in lyon, you wanted for nought, showered with attention, saddled with gifts - hardly a wonder you came to rely on such affection as a confirmation of your own worth.
at eight years old you first met death, blood on a gingham-print dress, a smear of it over your cheekbone and the pulp of a mangled animal at your feet murdered by the hands of a stable boy. “alma, my precious baby, you get away from that filth,” your mama would cry from the upstairs balcony – cigar in one hand and a bloody mary in the other – though whether the filth she referred to was the dead pig or the boy with a kernel of corn in his mouth, you never did find out.
your family earned their keeps in farming, great-grandfather wolfgang hildegarde a german immigrant, great-grandmother maura lisbon a prairie girl. they fell hopelessly in love between troughs and pig-shit, working for three dollars a day at a farm their descendants would later own, trade deals with the indians, vacations to calcutta, your father todd putnam in the kind of sheepskin coat his father’s father could only dream of owning. he worked hard so that you’d never have to. your mama once asked – you heard it through the window, rounding cartwheels across the picket-fenced lawn – could he not find a respectable career rather than selling shrink-wrapped pork for a dime a dozen? that blood money had no business raising a child. you look far back enough, edie, your father had said in his low, strong voice that could bring a civil war to silence, and i think you’ll find that all money is blood money.
language was never fickle on your tongue, french dinner time talk by the time you were out of your hush puppy shoes, your mama fixing the au pair a smile as she fixed herself another martini. you learned the clarinet at four and how to dance with the grace of a swansong at six, ethereal under a spotlight, an audience captive in the palm of your hand. by eight you knew that you’d always been destined to be loved. loved so hard they would want to taste you, bite into the soft plump of your cheek and eat you alive. that was how magnetic you wanted to feel. but mother hamsters eat their own young when penned in together too long, and soon you became too wild, too restless, another package on your father’s delivery invoice, box-shipped out to english boarding school.
fitting in had never been something you had to concern yourself with. you were always the shiny new toy the other girls wanted to play with, bright like a dropped coin from a magpie’s beak. wherever you went, you seemed to leave a trail of awe, pig-tailed harriet’s adoring you, imitating you, teachers forgiving your class-time chatter for the sake of your wild heart and the restless spirit you possessed. tell us what it’s like in the states, alma. they’d coo, enamoured by your hollywood drawl. does your father own a gun? you hardly knew. barely even knew the colour of his hair, for the scarce amount of times he’d stoop to kiss your cheek, though you’d tell silver-tongued tales if it’d guaranteed you an audience. when you learned how to smile at the right times, and that flattery would get you everywhere, it soon became apparent that charm would pave the yellow brick road to success even when your lack of drive couldn’t.
the road you followed – gum-snapping, roller-blading, friendship bands all up your arm – eventually led you to radcliffe. bright-eyed and gingham skirted, you’d always known you were more. there was a hunger in you to be something extraordinary, a want so adamant to be imagined and desired that it was almost savage. in leather-bound volumes and a circle of stones, you were helen of troy, the girl for whom they’d launch a thousand ships. but there’s so much rage within you, collecting like sawdust in cavernous parts. hockey helped. there was something grounding about the feeling of a stick clasped in your hands. sweat. stiff knuckles. feet pounding the earth. the smash of wood against flesh in the scram of a game, passed off as mere enthusiasm. “slipped, sorry.” hockey is the one thing you had that was yours alone – a feral instinct that motivates you to play; something primitive within you that sparks an energy like no other. on the pitch, you feel alive. you feel like a god.

WHY STUDY PLANTS?
The tremendous importance of plants cannot be overstated. Without them, we and most other species of animals (as well as many other groups of organisms) wouldn’t be here. Photosynthesis in plants and the other photosynthetic organisms changed the earth in two major ways. First, the fixation of carbon dioxide and the release of molecular oxygen in photosynthesis directly altered the earth’s atmosphere over billions of years. What used to be an atmosphere deficient in oxygen underwent a gradual change. As a critical mass of oxygen accumulated in the atmosphere, selection for oxygen-dependent respiration occurred (via oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria), which may have been a necessary precursor in the evolution of many multicellular organisms, including all animals. In addition, an oxygen-rich atmosphere permitted the establishment of an upper atmosphere ozone layer, which shielded life from excess UV radiation. This allowed organisms to inhabit more exposed niches that were previously inaccessible.
Second, the compounds that photosynthetic species produce are utilized, directly or indirectly, by nonphotosynthetic, heterotrophic organisms. For virtually all land creatures and many aquatic ones as well, land plants make up the so-called primary producers in the food chain, the source of high-energy compounds such as carbohydrates, structural compounds such as certain amino acids, and other compounds essential to metabolism in some heterotrophs. Thus, most species on land today, including millions of species of animals, are absolutely dependent on plants for their survival. As primary producers, plants are the major components of many communities and ecosystems. The survival of plants is essential to maintaining the health of those ecosystems, the severe disruption of which could bring about rampant species extirpation or extinction and disastrous changes in erosion, water flow, and ultimately climate.
To humans, plants are also monumentally important in numerous, direct ways (Figures 1.4, 1.5). Agricultural plants, most of which are flowering plants, are our major source of food. We utilize all plant parts as food products: roots (e.g., sweet potatoes and carrots; Figure 1.4 A,B); stems (e.g., yams, cassava/manioc, potatoes; Figure 1.4C); leaves (e.g., cabbage, celery, lettuce; Figure 1.4D); flowers (e.g., cauliflower and broccoli; Figure 1.4E); and fruits and seeds, including grains such as rice (Figure 1.4F), wheat (Figure 1.4G), corn (Figure 1.4H), rye, barley, and oats, legumes such as beans and peas (Figure 1.4I), and a plethora of fruits such as bananas (Figure 1.4J), tomatoes, peppers, pineapples (Figure 1.4K), apples (Figure 1.4L), cherries, peaches, melons, kiwis, citrus, olives (Figure 1.4M), and others too numerous to mention. Other plants are used as flavoring agents, such as herbs (Figure 1.5A–D) and spices (Figure 1.5E), as stimulating beverages, such as chocolate, coffee, tea, and cola (Figure 1.5F), or as alcoholic drinks, such as beer, wine, distilled liquors, and sweet liqueurs. Woody trees of both conifers and flowering plants are used structurally for lumber and for pulp products such as paper (Figure 1.5G). Non-woody plants, such as bamboos, palms, and a variety of other species, serve as construction materials for a great variety of purposes. Plant fibers are used to make thread for cordage (such as sisal), for sacks (such as jute for burlap), and for textiles (most notably cotton, Figure 1.5H, but also linen and hemp, Figure 1.5I). Extracts from plants, which include essential oils, latex (for rubber or balata), vegetable oils, pectins, starches, and waxes, have a plethora of uses in industry, food, perfume, and cosmetics. In many cultures, plants or plant products are used as euphorics or hallucinogenics (whether legally or illegally), such as marijuana (Figure 1.5I), opium, cocaine, and a great variety of other species that have been used by indigenous peoples for centuries. Plants are important for their aesthetic beauty, and the cultivation of plants as ornamentals is an important industry. Finally, plants have great medicinal significance, to treat a variety of illnesses or to maintain good health. Plant products are very important in the pharmaceutical industry; their compounds are extracted, semisynthesized, or used as templates to synthesize new drugs. Many “modern” drugs, from aspirin (originally derived from the bark of willow trees) to vincristine and vinblastine (obtained from the Madagascar periwinkle, used to treat childhood leukemia; Figure 1.5J), are ultimately derived from plants. In addition, various plant parts of a great number of species are used whole or are processed as so-called herbal supplements, which have become tremendously popular of late.
The people, methods, and rationale concerned with the plant sciences (defined here as the study of land plants) are as diverse as the uses and importance of plants. Some of the fields in the plant sciences are very practically oriented. Agriculture and horticulture deal with improving the yield or disease resistance of food crops or cultivated ornamental plants, e.g., through breeding studies and identifying new cultivars. Forestry is concerned with the cultivation and harvesting of trees used for lumber and pulp. Pharmacognosy deals with crude natural drugs, often of plant origin. In contrast to these more practical fields of the plant sciences, the “pure” sciences have as their goal the advance-ment of scientific knowledge (understanding how nature works) through research, regardless of the practical implications. But many aspects of the pure sciences also have important practical applications, either directly by applicable discovery or indirectly by providing the foundation of knowledge used in the more practical sciences. Among these are plant anatomy, dealing with cell and tissue structure and development; plant chemistry and physiology, dealing with biochemical and biophysical processes and products; plant molecular biology, dealing with the structure and function of genetic material; plant ecology, dealing with interactions of plants with their environment; and, of course, plant systematics.
Note that a distinction should be made between “botany” and “plant sciences.” Plant sciences is the study of plants, treated as equivalent to land plants here. Botany is the study of most organisms traditionally treated as plants, including virtually all eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms (land plants and the several groups of “algae”) plus other eukaryotic organisms with cell walls and spores (true fungi and groups that were formerly treated as fungi, such as the Oomycota and slime molds). Thus, in this sense, botany is inclusive of but broader than the plant sciences. Recognition of both botany and plant sciences as fields of study can be useful, although how these fields are defined can vary and may require clarification.

Description :
Hornbeam - Hornbeam selects for its life mate the talented witch or wizard with a single, pure passion, which some might call obsession - more kindly - vision, which will almost always be realised. Hornbeam wands adapt more quickly than almost any other to their owner’s style of magic, and will become so personalised, so quickly, that other people will find them extremely difficult to use even for the most simple of spells.Hornbeam wands likewise absorb their owner’s code of honour, whatever that might be, and will refuse to perform acts - whether for good or ill - that do not tally with their master’s principles.
Ebony - This jet-black wand wood has an impressive appearance and reputation, being highly suited to all manner of combative magic, and to Transfiguration
Dragon Heartstring - As a rule, dragon heartstrings produce wands with the most power, and which are capable of the most flamboyant spells. Dragon wands tend to learn more quickly than other types. While they can change allegiance if won from their original master, they always bond strongly with the current owner. The dragon wand tends to be easiest to turn to the Dark Arts, though it will not incline that way of its own accord. It is also the most prone of the three cores to accidents, being somewhat temperamental.
Cherry - This very rare wand wood creates a wand of strange power, most highly prized by the wizarding students of the school of Mahoutokoro in Japan, where those who own cherry wands have special prestige.
Horned Serpent Horn - This wand core was used by Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry founders Isolt Sayre. The wands made from this core were exceptionally powerful. They were also sensitive to Parseltongue and warn its owner of danger by emitting a low musical tone.
Special Abilities: Runic boosts, Larger magical reserves, Animal-speak, Occulmency, Animagus
Pet(s): SHE HAS ALL THE PETS (oh my god she sickleworth-ed them)
What do they see in the Mirror of Erised? Happiness. In the form of having a good family, El & Aunt Patty being back, Aunt Marie being alive again, and a present mother. Also maybe a wife, or a companion, along with 30 nifflers.
Form of Boggart: Then - An Altar, where a woman lays, unbreathing The altar where Cyrus inked and carved her with runes when she was but a child, and where she laid her Aunt Marie when she died | Now - A Secret El and Patricia leaving her again and again | Future - Turning to the worst possible version of herself, giving in to the darkness and destroying everything she once held dear
