#it's truly been a pleasure

[divinityunleashed]

( I'll continue my existing RP's in the story arc, naturally, but I had inspiration to write this so here goes. )

BGM: Megadimension Neptunia VII - Decision

After all the help that people had given Chronoa; the Vacosian Ruby Rose, the Sangheili Thel'Vadam, IF of Lawain City and strongest ally of the CPU's, and the slight boost of assistance from Fu, the project was able to be brought into effect.

"At last... phew."

Chronoa breathed a sigh of relief as all the work she was putting in was about to pay off. Lowering the shoulders of her robes, she fell onto the grass plains outside of the Time Nest with an exhausted smile on her face. It was now time to give the CPU's their home back.

-=-=-=-=-=-

Escorted by Whis and Vados, the four CPU's arrived at the Time Nest, with Green Heart being held by the shoulders with Purple and Black Heart. White Heart approached Chronoa with hopeful eyes.

"Please tell me you have something for us."

"I do. It took a long time, and a lot of help from your allies."

"Our... allies?"

"Yes. Those who you made allies and friends with in the past were contacted by her and they all did their best to help her with her plan."

"It was quite the undertaking and everyone wanted to ensure that you had a place to live after Zamasu's incursion."

"You guys..."

Slight tears formed in Purple Heart's eyes particularly, with low smiles from the other three. To think that those they lost connection with did their best to help them get their home back was heartwarming and breaking at the same time. They couldn't believe it. But they wanted to.

Chronoa showed them to one of the many Rifts scattered across the Time Nest, until they stopped at one of them and took into the air.

"Follow me please."

Whis and Vados remained as they needed to return to their duties. Chronoa and the four CPU's floated into the rift and were transported to a whole new area. They were surrounded by clouds and were told to keep flying through them, staying behind her. Until they got to their destination.

All four of them gasped as the image appeared before them. Four floating islands surrounded by skies, with a central floating island in the middle with a Rainbow Bridge connecting to the high heavens. On one island was a circular utopia of technology, with smaller outlying settlements.

On another was an entire industrial complex, an industrial metropolis with numerous factories working hard. The areas surrounding the city was rocky and mountainy with numerous warehouses scattered around storing various mechs and machinery.

On another was a frosty paradise. Some of the houses were mushroom shaped, whilst the others were fantasy themed with magical colours and bright atmospheres, with eternal snow. In the centre was a fantasy castle where the majority of the Government presided.

And finally the last island was a medieval style city with numerous smaller towns befitting that of ancient times. With horse carriages and sprawling marketplaces, it was like the whole nation itself was plucked out of a fantasy isekai anime.

"T-This is..."

"Incredible..."

"It's breathtaking..."

"It's... beautiful..."

"Purple Heart of Planeptune."

"Black Heart of Lastation."

"White Heart of Lowee."

"Green Heart of Leanbox."

Chronoa then extended her arm to the side, pointing towards the floating archipelago.

"Welcome to Gamindustri V2."

since i am a deranged individual who just finished season 8 here is my timestamped House whump list for your convenience

And some moments I missed in the first list:

[hairtusk]

incredibly confused by modern hookup culture and the idea that you can enhance your own sexual pleasure by never committing / being emotionally involved with a partner and sleeping with lots of different people. sure, you get the thrill of sleeping with a new/ish person. but nothing will ever come close to the levels of pleasure you get when you and your lover both trust each other entirely, and know each other's bodies like they were your own. why would you deny yourself that level of pleasure by never forming a connection. truly fucking bizarre to me.

[sushisocks]

something nobody tells you about writing your own fic is that once it's finished you can actually just.... read it? and it's filled with your favorite ships and tropes and has a story you enjoy, because you wrote it! wild!!

[andrewscottsource]

Hey all! It's been a very long time since I made a post on this blog (I do keep an eye on everything from afar) but I wanted to share something really cool and very special that happened!

Over the weekend I went to MCM Comic Con in London and I had the privilege of meeting Andrew Scott (I still can't quite believe it!)

He was so SO lovely and the entire experience was just amazing. I got to gush about how much I love his work and how much it helped me through some of my own life experiences being Bi and Trans - he listened so intently to everything I had to say and asked me so many questions, it was just wonderful to have that time with him and I feel very lucky.

After we had a chat he signed the beautiful print above for me and took such care in writing me a lovely message that just really warmed my heart. He really is just such a wonderful caring person and I will pass on to you all what he said to me as I left his table: "Don't stop making your tribe bigger." Surround yourself with people who can support you and who you can support in turn, love people and be loved because there can never be too much love in the world. I know how kind-hearted you all are, and I couldn't be more thankful for this little space we've created in our corner of the internet.

Thank you all.

Love and Hugs,

Max

ik most of u dont agree with my ed tokyo ghoul takes and that’s fine. but there is something so validating about an almost entire cast of characters for whom eating is a task that inherently involves a lot of guilt and shame.

[dirtytransmasc]

such a simple detail I love to see/give characters through HC's is how they soothe/physically interact with their children, so ummm, yeah (only doing select characters, cause I feel like it 😃👍)

Alicent: she does the forehead down to the top of the nose rub, but instead of a single finger, she starts with her pinky and shifts up to the next until she gets to her first finger as she moves down. when she hugs her children she cups the back of their head with her hand or arm, thumbing their hairline. she kisses her children's hair(lines). she definitely struggled the most with her kids, cause y'know, they weren't brought to her in the best of ways, so a lot of her love is shown through quality times and words, but it's the fleeting touches, the worried holds, the way she checks over her children after any possible injury that really shows her love. she also fixes their hair and clothes, and does the mom spit on the finger wipe down (mostly to aegon).

Helaena: takes after her mother, but uses her first two fingers. when she's trying to get her children to sleep, she gently brushes a finger over their lashes as well. when she hugs it is less about the weight or tightness, unless that's what they need in the moment, but about gentleness and the time they hold onto one another. she kisses her children's noses. likes to lay her children in/against her lap while she does her embroidery or tucks them against her chest while showing them something. keeps a hand on her children if they're sleeping near her. feels a little random, but I feel like she dances with her children, I have no particular reason for this, but I really think she does.

Aegon: forehead touches. whether it be touching for head to forehead, or holding his children's head so he can brush back their hair or thumb over their temples. he similarly kisses their foreheads/brows. he doesn't just hug his children, he full on holds them, squeezing them tight and doing that spinny rocking motion. playfully "bites" his kids, like threatens to eat them when they're naughty and throws them around on the bed. out of all of them, he's the one who will take the most time/be the most emotional when it comes to admiring his children cause he's got this mindset of "they are so good and so pure and I made them, they're little and nothing like me and I love them", like he waits till their asleep and will just look over them, at their little hands or little faces, gently tracing their features with a single finger. (just give me good dad Aegon, who after dealing with some of his shit, decides he wants to be nothing like Viserys and dedicates himself to his children)

Aemond: may not be a parent, but I'm delusional, and he's just a third parent to the twins and Maelor, so leave me be. he's not the most physical guy, if anything he's the one who plays with them as his love language. when he does touch, it's very solid in a way, assuring. he rubs their shoulders and ruffles their hair, holding them against his legs, letting them ride his shoulders. definitely holds their hands to comfort them, stroking their palms or admiring their little fingers, especially as he had big ass hands, so the difference is jarring. kisses their hands too, like a gentleman, cause they think it's funny, but also cause he just is a very proper gentleman.

My dash is filled with this sense of bittersweet grief over something we all don’t even know is ending or not this morning and it’s sad and beautiful at the same time. 

[elmo-f-tree]

i don’t understand why so many christians hold the belief that you cannot find god in earthly pleasures if god is supposed to be all that is beautiful and wonderful should not he also include pleasure? shouldn’t you be able to find him in a delicious meal or a beautiful sunset? he may not have given humanity bread but he gave us wheat and yeast and sugar and water

[ A letter, addressed to him. The script is written in half-cursive with a slight tremble. The return address is somewhere in England. ]

To whom this letter reaches,

Seeing as I am a stranger to which you have no obligation, you have no reason to read this, but I hope that you do. I have been doing some research for [ here, a speck of ink is found between words, as if a taken pause ] personal interest and have recently happened upon a source suggesting that the current caretaker of the estate to which I am sending this letter may be one Mr. Renfield. Given that the source is quite old and, frankly, hard to read, I understand that it is more than likely that this will reach a successor or other inhabitant of the estate. Nevertheless, if you are willing and have the ability to answer, my request stands.

Documents about the castle in Tihuța Pass say it sits on the side of a mountain with a rather treacherous precipice. There is some confusion about which way the castle faces, however. In my rudimentary understanding, historical tactics seem to suggest that it would face north for strategic advantage, but this would mean most of the valley is obscured. What does the sunrise there look like?

Best wishes,

R. Hart

The late letter received is written on thick parchment yellowed with age. The flourished script is written with a heavy hand.

Dear R. Hart,  Your letter came as a pleasant surprise. I do not often receive the post here in the Pass. As such, I am sure that quite some time will have passed by the time you are reading this.  Accounting for this anticipated time, I will restate your question: What does the sunrise here look like? Here at this castle, placed precariously on the escarpment of the Tihuța Pass. You are correct that the keep faces North. I do not know the full history or necessity of the castle’s construction but the views of the surrounding land were not hindered. From outside, the northern walls look as if they erupted from the cliff face. It is rather intimidating from the valley below. However, from the southside, it was once more charming– I must admit the residence is in disrepair– it is unlike the architecture we see in England. From my research, it is inspired by the great estates built by the Romans. It must be the remains of their expanded influence before their demise. In the early mornings, the sun rises reliably from the village below as if born from their steeple, and raises the inhabitants as well. The castle sits too high and too far to make out their daily lives, the smoke from the chimneys and glowing fields are the only sign of their presence. It is a sight that warms me. You did not ask about sunset but I must share my sentiment. When it goes, it goes quickly though not easily. It fights Helios in its descent. Burning red, it drops into the valley every night to ignite the forest below in its last battle to keep the mountain warm. In its absence, the world is plunged into darkness. The nights when the clouds are thick, they are frightening.  I hope that this was the answer that you were looking for. I must express my curiosity in your interest in this castle. I cannot believe many outside of this country know of its existence. May I ask what led you to it? Perhaps you have other questions I could answer for you? I do hope to hear from you again. Reflecting to reply to your letter was a peace I have not known for some time.  𝓡. 𝓜. 𝓡𝓮𝓷𝓯𝓲𝓮𝓵𝓭
