I saw this artwork and immediately thought of your knight! ghost and princess work!

it’s “the meeting on the turret stairs” by frederic william burton which was inspired by the danish story of princess who falls in love with her personal body guard.

Ugh I think of this painting so often I think it's tattooed onto my brain. The way she can't look at him, can't do more than let him hold onto her arm. Her hand doesn't even grasp at him but you can see her desperation. The flower discarded on the stair, perhaps indicative of another lost flower. The absolute devotion on the knight's face. The yearning. God. More stairwell stuff with knight!Ghost and his princess.

You don't know quite where you're going, you only know you had to get out of there. Had to get away from that horrible dinner, that horrible man who looked at you with cold callous indifference. Away from the half-baked praises your mother was singing, trying to court a man who had less interest in you than he would a flea. Everything is going terribly wrong and you have nothing to fall back on but empty, broken, promises.

You run up the turret stairs, determined to find a space for yourself away from all of this. Anywhere you think would be the last place for your maids to look. Besides, the knights stationed up there won't say anything if you cry. Their gossip hardly ever reaches the maids.

You press close to the wall to make way for the knight coming down, but he's quick to grab you instead. Gentle hands hold you steady as he moves a few steps lower to let you meet his warm gaze, one you recognize even(perhaps especially) through the watery tears gathering on your lashes. Your Ghost.

"My lady," His hand reaches to cup your cheek, thumb brushing away the stray tear that escapes you, "I can't leave you alone for a second."

You hardly give your positions a seconds thought before you collapse onto him. He's strong enough to take it, hardly wavering as you cling to him. His arms circle your waist, tight to hold you close as you press your face to his armored shoulder. You feel his nose against your neck, his breath as tense as his body. This is improper, but you don't care. You hate seeing him without your colors, you hate it.

Ghost sighs and loosens his grip on you, letting you go. You wrap your arms tighter around him, as if that could stop it. He tuts, as if it's such an imposition, and reaches for your arms to pry you off of him.

When you're set right on the stair again he keeps hold of your hands, a warning not to try grabbing him again. Still, his thumbs stroke the backs of your hands, warm leather soothing against your skin. You love him all the worse for pushing you away, for doing his duty.

"Let's get you back where you're supposed to be," He tells you. You swallow and nod, unable to look at him past that. Back into the maws of wolves, you think. Ghost walks you back to the dining room, offers you a handkerchief to dry your tears. His duty ends there, but he enters with you.

When the table stands to welcome you, you hear the creak of his glove as he clenches his fist. You feel the guard he raises for you like the warmth of a fire, safe from the dangers of the night. Your eyes are trained on the foreign king on one end of the table, the way he stares down his nose at you, the darkness of his eyes behind his mask. You've never seen a blue look so hostile, so black with malice. As if he isn't waiting just for you to leave again, but for you to die.

"Sir Riley," Your father's tone is light, but unquestionably harsh, "You are off the princess's service, are you not?"

"My duty is to the royal family, which my lady is apart of. I'm doing my job and escorting her," Ghost challenges. Your father grits his teeth, determined not to make a scene for a potential ally. You've never known your knight to call the king like this. It's a dangerous game, one with consequences you don't want Ghost playing against.

"Ghost," You turn away from the hateful gaze of the German king to speak to your knight. He drops his eyes from the king to yours, soft and coppery, and affectionate.

"Princess," He hardly hides his preference for your authority. You're sure your father is seething.

"I'm alright," You tell him softly, "you're dismissed."

He stalls a moment, eyes searching yours. You know he'd jump if you only asked, you never saw a problem in that until now. Some things you need to be able to handle on your own. Things like diplomatic incidents. He nods, bows shortly, and leaves. Your eyes follow him as he goes, your heart leaving with him. You turn back to your audience.

"My apologies," You address both kings, "my emotions got the better of me, it won't happen again."

"I should hope not," Your father tells you. König tips his head, studying you.

"Pathetic," The voice barely fits the man, but you hadn't heard him speak all evening. König rolls his shoulders back and gestures for your maid and your new knight. "I was getting tired of this dance anyway," when he turns his eyes back to you they hold the trace of a smile, though you hesitate to call it that, "Princess, I think a walk would do us both some good."

"Of course," You try to smile, though all you can feel is a deep unease. Perhaps you should have kept Ghost by your side, politics be damned.

shapeshifter Human guide has been on my MINDD, so many different scenarios , hylia lending guide a Lil power, hylia randomly lending guides body for a fight and just dissappearing (like my will to eat veggies, ew) guide being a humanized- Guardian, blasts and whatnot, guide having a Lil knack for sheikah in general, kinda like spiderman…

But make it sheikah, falling off a cliff and guide somehow survives or grows weird sheikah wings,

Guide disappearing after a nasty encounter with dink just to come walking back to Camp soaked head to toe in blood , ripped clothes and messy hair but nearly completely unscathed and a mug that could make a hellhound Piss itself,

Guide finding cool sheikah stuff and its armor and it sticks itself onto them, being chased while the Chain is watching (and yes they are trying to help) as dink slowly inches closer to guide but they just.. cant Seem to make it in time, guide having a dramatic moment where they like, Fall off somewhere High up, being saved at the last moment, falling off a sheikah tower, being swallowed by some funky plant, or like accidentally activating some ancient ass ruin which ends up with a random burst of magic around guide before theyre dragged underground by a flower which ends up with Them meeting a fairy as the Chain scrambles to find them (theyre fine) or getting permission to try on wild’s clothes/masks and fucking around with the masks in particular until it all goes wrong, APA is constantly on my mind and i cant have refuge without thinking “what would that be like in APA?”

“Oooh that would be a cool scenario in APA”

“What if that happened in APA?”

“how would the Chain react?”

pS: i love you (platonically) and your work ❤️ thanks for APA!

i’m almost out of drafts so here’s some pjo head cannons

-the demeter kids do most of the cooking at camp (like how the apollo kids run the infirmary they run the kitchen)

-also if they’re like starving they can photosynthesize and get energy from the sun and stuff

-will solace is mixed but sense apollo was his dad he was “sun kissed” and that’s why he has very light features. no body really knows because he doesn’t talk about it much, when nico went to meet his family he was surprised they were all black because will doesn’t have many of those features

-athena kids can control people to do what they say (almost like charmspeak) but they can only do it in a war or just a dangerous situation in general

-aries and occasionally athena kids can summon weapons or armor when they need to, like if something’s trying to kill them

-apollo kids are fluent in italian (it’s the language of music)

-hephaestus kids can weld stuff with their bare hands

-hermes kids are in charge of selling the strawberries (they can usually swindle people for a couple extra bucks) sense their dad is the god of trades and all that i think they’d be good with that kind of thing

-whenever zeus kids build static electricity it’s like 10x stronger than normal

-some hades kids (specifically nico because hazels powers are e more gem based) can mend broken bones by manipulating the bones

-percy jackson is pacific islander

-the norse mythology people can speak the scandinavian languages (swedish, danish, dano-norwegian, new norwegian, icelandic, and faroese) a lot of people can’t speak all of them but can speak a few

-hazel likes steven universe and makes frank and/or nico watch it with her

-dionysus kids can grow grapevines

Hi Michelle ! 🌼

Sorry if it’s weird that I’ve become an obsessive fan of First Aid hehe but having spent 2 days binge reading it it was in my head and so when I listened to this song:

- I got all in my feels about Carlos and TK set in the beginning!🥺

I’m pretty sure it’s a danish band and I actually don’t know if they’re even very known outside of Denmark.. and the song is cheesy and kind of overly feelsy and it’s just a sort of guilty pleasure from my childhood that I happened to listen to yesterday but (😅) but it got me thinking about Carlos’ perspective and how entering through TK’s window would have drowned out all the noise of NYC and his own hectic brain about his family, past, future, guilt etc - all noise except the echo of TK’s name and then how you described him (albeit from TK’s pov) seemingly letting go for a night/morning and being so soft in TK’s arms and bed (🥺😭) and yeah lol so I wanted to share it with you 🫣

Oki byee 🙃🙃😶‍🌫️

Aww this ask made me SO HAPPY !! AH. 🫣😭 I think it's so sweet that you not only like it but that it makes you think of a song. And it's such a wistful and haunting one! Thanks for sharing it with me and explaining how you think about it in the context of the fic. I LOVE THIS: "how entering through TK’s window would have drowned out all the noise of NYC and his own hectic brain about his family, past, future, guilt" - I do absolutely think TK's room is an oasis for him that he can shed some of his armor. <3 So well said!!! 💞 Thanks so MUCH for sharing this with me like this and including the beautiful song. Music is my biggest muse so this is definitely getting added to my First Aid playlist for inspiration.

Putin Says Western Bases Hosting Ukraine’s F-16s Would Be Legitimate Targets

March 28, 2024 Russia, War in Ukraine

Russia warns it may attack NATO bases possibly used to launch Ukraine’s F-16s.

If the F-16s are delivered to Ukraine, Russia could also strike NATO bases from which the jets would launch. The threat was issued by Vladimir Putin during a meeting with a group of pilots at Tver, northwest of Moscow. The Russian President said an escalation could be provoked by the delivery of the promised Fighting Falcon jets, for which training of Ukrainian pilots is underway.

“F-16s are capable of carrying nuclear weapons, and we will also need to take that into account while organizing our combat operations,” Putin said.

“Of course, if they are used from bases in third countries, they would be a legitimate target for us, no matter where they are,” he added.

However, the Kremlin believes not even the supply of these fighters will be able to change the course of the conflict, “We will destroy their warplanes just as we destroy their tanks, armored vehicles and other equipment, including multiple rocket launchers”.

Ukraine has long been asking its Western partners for the delivery of F-16s. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said last year that at least 42 F-16s had been promised (the number is not known, but according to the most reliable sources, they should be 60), with the first deliveries expected by the Summer of 2024. Meanwhile, Ukrainian pilots, with different degree of flying experience, are at various stages of training, both in the U.S. and in Europe.

The delivery of the F-16s won’t be a game-changer, considering the need to integrate them in the Ukrainian Air Force, the lack of specific experience of Ukrainian pilots on the type and in view of Russia’s massive air force and sophisticated air defense systems. The weapon system requires logistic support, infrastructure and weapons: it will take years before the whole “ecosystem” that is required to sustain effective combat operations with the Fighting Falcon can be exploited at its best.

However, in the short and mid term, the “Viper” (as the F-16 is nicknamed in the pilot community) will be a quick upgrade from the current MiG-29s: the “new” jets will be used to detect, hunt and engage cruise missiles, helicopters, UAVs and Russian fighters, and to conducting air strikes on Russian targets with stand-off missiles. The F-16s can also be used to fire the AGM-88 HARM missiles (a type that was not “natively” compatible with the Ukrainian combat aircraft but was integrated with the MiG-29 and Su-27) and JDAMs bombs in SEAD/DEAD (Suppression/Destruction of Enemy Air Defenses) missions that are particularly important on the Ukrainian battlefield.

We will see.

TBH something I find really interesting is war and Military Sci-fi media that isn't pro war or anti-war fully but portrays war as a majestic and glorious yet terrible and childish thing.

I believe War is morally neutral and even justified in some occasions. Some wars like the NATO interventions in Bosnia and Kosovo, the 1991 Gulf War and of course World War Two are fully justified in my opinion but even justified wars are terrible in it's own way. 2000-3000 Iraqi civilians died because of bombing by coalition forces during the Gulf War. Each of those 2000 was a person with their own hopes and dreams and ambitions who had nothing to do with Saddams decision to invade Kuwait. Still, it was the right thing to do at the time.

War is Majestic. It's beautiful. It's a place where Heroes are made. Sure, you often see the worst of Humanity there but you also see some of the best. Someone I often think about is Helge Mayer, a danish special forces member who transported food and aid for civilians during the bosnian war (a war that showcases some of the worst in humanity.) In an armored 79 Camero with kevlar plates strapped on. That's what I mean by the best in humanity. War is also childish. Everyone in war is person with friends and family who dicks around and makes jokes yet they keep killing each other for no good reason.

I really like war media that goes "Yeah soldiers are monsters and war is stupid and childish and nobody has a good reason to fight each other a lot of the time but these soldiers on both sides are still people who joke, fuck, drink, watch TV Shows and have family and sometimes there are good reasons to fight." It makes the horrors of war, the grand victories and the acts of kindness that much more impactful.

I guess what got me to post this is Israel-Palestine. I'm Arab so seeing videos of Palestinian children playing, praying and feeding stray kittens in their bombed out streets followed by videos of them covered in blood and dirt crying to their parents just hits me differently. Like I have this weird double-think/Cognitive dissonance of "Hamas and the IDF should fight it out themselves. Civilians on neither side don't deserve this." And this deep-seated anger or resentment that "I don't support Hamas and think they should be removed but I understand why the people on the ground at Gaza would."

[scatterghosts]

Oh my gosh ok my gay people my favorite in love exes not canon but so real . I'm so insane about them idk where to begin okay uhhh....

to preface they are from the adventure zone: ethersea and on here we call em oksamber.

So they're both like 40+ year old women living in an underwater city that was built to survive the apocalyptic storm. I will start off explaining them as individuals then get into their story and dynamics ig

One of them is sort of a washed out hero, like 25 years ago back on the shore she discovered she has these astral arms when she went to fight these nasty sharks, and has been vigilant ever since even though the threat is gone. She kinda hangs around a club house slash diner (called the cloaca) until she goes out adventuring again. Um she has -1 charisma and is kinda brash and doesn't love butting heads with authority she'd rather stay out of all that, she buys a cabin for their ship just for her and when she gets a fancy jacket she rips the sleeves off and she is a great fighter but is also thinking 0 steps ahead and as such pissed her pants on purpose to ambush a guy. I'm in love with her. Her name is Amber Gris.

Okay the other one. She is the head of defense for the city and is essentially both on city council and the leader of a big battleship (called the biggest baby) with the defense force of the city.. they're kinda like cops but kind of not. And she has this strong connection with this war god whose bones the ship is made out of. Like part of leading and piloting that is communicating with him. But she has this heavy duty she takes on, and she is rather prim n proper and a little awkward but doesn't take shit from people, she's rather confident and she's strong as hell and um I love her. Her name is Kodira.

So we are first introduced to Kodira in a flashback except her name at the time is Oksana. And she's asking Amber for help getting something and they banter about it and Oksana goes "I've seen you climb trees y you're slick" and amber goes fine..". They're friends back 25 years ago on the shoreside, basically.

The next time we see this character, she is walking into the diner, in uniform (formal plate armor) and learn her name is Kodira, but amber used to know her as Oksana,, n she is almost unrecognizable because she's aged a lot under her position but also because they don't see each other a lot.... And then they banter and Kodira takes a danish and interrogates her about how she killed some of her men and then after they resolve that amber asks her to stay for coffee but Kodira is like no I have to go but then offers her a job working with her on the battleship and they're just... They're sweet, there's clear tension but there's also a clear familiarity...

Anyways I'm trying to not be a plot summary out here but uhh they just have such a chemistry together that is sharp but sweet? It isn't canon that they're like in love or whatever but the characters just are so compelling in that way? Like you can tell from the way they interact that they have a history.

They end up bringing Kodira along for some of the missions they go on, and the last one near the finale is.<3

Shit happens they banter they have serious conversations, Kodira stays in Amber's cabin🤨,they get to the final place which is like a coral tower. And Kodira stays behind on a floor just in case whatever comes up from behind and then amber and her crew are in a boss fight,, but eventually amber hears battle from downstairs so she rushes down at inhuman speed

And she finds Kodira there, but there is a glowing eye indicating the god has taken over, and he has some evil or morally grey plans or whatever but amber has to fight her and there's a moment when Amber has her from behind in a bear hug, says shshsh I'm not gonna fuckin fight you, and ends up punching her in the stomach just to see if there's any of her in there, and the god goes, wow she... really... Doesn't want me to fight you blah blah etc fight more amber jumps through a portal and Kodira jumps through too

They end up in a new world, on a beach, and realize they are gods in that world. And they chat, have some emotional vulnerability (which neither have really shown to other characters), asking if they did the right thing, and the god in Kodiras head dies. And then she refers to herself as Oksana, and we realize like oh she's no longer this version of herself commanded by this god she doesn't have that responsibility anymore,, and then they joke a little bit and they're just really really sweet with each other in a sort of rough way

What makes me insane about them is the tension of course but the ease with which they just are with each other... And I'm obsessed with exploring these different ideas of who they were vs became, the change over the years, what happened in those 25 years we didn't see,,, and honestly the fact that there was never any specific conclusion with their relationship or any like specific mention of them dating or whatever,, works rlly well for me here? Because they would have no reason to bring that up in the story especially bc those people don't like talking about their personal lives or pasts or anything and like if you've ever had that homoerotic female friendship that ends poorly like... They remind me of that a bit but after the healings happened.

. If u want to see me be insane about them more or unpack more specifics of what their deal is or what entices them to me (?) the #oksamber tag is literally so full of brainrot. I love them a lot. There are so few people who are crazy about them but the ones who are are truly mad alongside me<3 we may be few but we are mighty.

Anyways um that was a lot of words .. hope it helps. Good luck best wishes!

I'd never heard of this ship before but I love it so much!! Thank you!!!

TMG song this reminds me of: Twin Human Highway Flares

Highlights: "On the day that I become so forgetful / That all of this melts away / I will burn all the calendars that counted the years down /To such a worthless day"

Notes: I love how you described the history between these two women and how it lends an unspoken weight to every interaction they have. This song has a similar feeling to me. Even in desperate situations, they cling to each other. It's not a young romantic fling so much as a deep and intense and abiding love. They can't forget each other and they haven't forgotten each other. They will always matter to each other, no matter what happened, no matter what will happen. There will always be love there.
