Def wanna see a closer look at Atmospheric Disturbances. I'm so sorry to hear how you've been feeling but welcome back I hope it gets better for you💕

Hey, lovely! Thank you so much<3. It's been a tough almost 12 months. I figured it was writers block for a long time but it wasn't. Turns out grieving is something that seems endless. Feels like I'm finally coming out of the other end of it.

Atmospheric Disturbances - (Koriand’r x Dick Grayson x Reader).

So, general vibes for this one at the moment, only vague plot points currently.

Thinking that Dick and Kory are going to be in an established relationship to start with. (However, I really, really like the idea of Reader and Kory being together first based on what I have written already; and I'm delighted by thoughts of Dick being a little creepy and watching Reader and Kory kiss wishing that he was with them too, leading to him being plagued with thoughts and getting all pent up and frustrated and...).

Again, I'm working with vibes only at this point but here's a few little scenes I have so far;

**

There are limited options for understanding among this team, but there is one person who looks at you like they know what it’s like to be less than human and more like the stars. The very first time you meet her you’re in the middle of nowhere and the Earth beneath your feet is scorched and burning. Smoke clouds the air and the heat is unbearable but she walks through the stubborn embers of fire like it’s always belonged to her; like the flames were birthed from her own two hands and not from your endless fall through the atmosphere.

I've also got this little scene as well;

Kory kisses you over the breakfast table. The sweet tang of syrup lingering on her tongue from the pancakes on her plate and your mouth waters when she licks past the soft seam of your lips. Her fingers, clever and firm, tip your chin so she can kiss you deeper and your eyes flutter closed, a wrecked little noise bubbling along the spine of your throat. She hums softly, catching your bottom lip between her teeth whilst pulling away and you sigh, feeling drunk and shot full of something almost like adrenaline; a terrible ache building between your thighs. Someone clears their throat and you turn to see who it is but Kory intercepts you halfway into the movement, an almost pleased little grin on her pretty face. Guiding your mouths back together she kisses you slow and wet and messy then pulls back. “Spying on us again, Grayson?” Kory asks, and you turn just in time to see Dick falter, a flush crawling up his throat. It’s pretty, you think. He’s pretty. “If we didn’t know better, we’d think you’d like to join in.”

ashes and embers, we burn together

Despite the snow of early winter in Gotham, Jason Todd was not cold. In fact, he was burning. There was a drive in his chest, between his lungs, that pressed him forward. It sharpened his mind and tongue, and this is, perhaps, what led Batman to snap him up off the street and turn him into a Wayne.

Jason positively glowed in his new home- he was passionate, vibrant, and clever. Bruce found solace in his boy, Alfred adored his grandson, and Dick began to see Jason as his brother. They were mesmerized by the flames for a time, but then the warmth became too much; they tried to tame his fire, and became resentful when they couldn't. One by one, the family splintered away from Jason, and the hearth guarded deep in his chest.

Then he died. His flame snuffed out. He wasn't buried in the Wayne plot.

But he came back, sparks igniting in his ribs. He clawed his way out on his own and searched for his family with what little strength he had. He never did find them. They weren't looking.

He was found nonetheless, and the glow of Jason Todd was replaced by the roaring wildfire of the Red Hood. Fueled by a mystical rage and the embers of what had been his heart, he embarked back to his former home.

When he awoke one day, months into his controlled burn of Crime Alley, all that was left in him was ash. So he looked to his family and tried to explain- but the damage was done. He hadn't just burned himself to cinders; he had taken everyone with him...

Jason gathered what was left of himself, and tried to do something good. He picked the fights that his "family" was too good for and made a team of the other castoffs. On the nights when the fires consumed him- when the fight became him, Kori and Roy were by his side, focusing the burn to where it was earned. Because they were creatures of ash and ember, too.

One day, staring at a burning building with Kori on his left and Roy on his right, he felt a familiar heat in his chest, distinct from the wildfire that demanded blood.

When they retreated to the safety of their ship, a tangled mess of limbs watching one of Roy's soap operas, Jason felt the new flames blistering his ribs.

It took him time to realize the truth, that his fire was joined by two others. He almost sobbed when he realized it was love.

Pink Arrows/Roysumm lore for @insomniac-jay

Jayr*y shippers dni!No Roy disrespect in this house

They're a thing in the Teen Titans cartoon,where Summer leads the Mid-West Titans(my fanteam consisted of Summer Kent,@jellyjays ' Blitz Cross and a bunch of canon characters)

Summer is Ember and was adopted as a toddler by Clark and Lois when he was 8 instead of his much darker comics origin and him becoming half Kryptofang was earned by him doing a quest when he was 10 for Fantasma,who passed on in old age and fused with him

Roy's trans and audhd like Summer(canon 2 me actually)

They're also sun-coded4sun-coded and himbo4morosexual(Roy is the morosexual)

They met out in Jump City instead of a big super thing and it was at the arcade when Roy started playing the game next to Summer's and they made idle conversation that led to them discovering they're both Titans and so they made a whole day of it with followed up pizza eating,Summer flying Roy around in his arms which is how he started crushing on him and going mall shopping which is how SUMMER started crushing on ROY

This is it's own episode titled 'Aphrodite's Arrow' and this is only the first half as the rest is action and angst with Roy backstory reveals that Summer comforts him over and Lex attacking Mid-West Titan's Tower and Roy helps them rebuild it as symbolism for Pink Arrow's dynamic i.e Two people with broken pieces putting eachother back together

Roy openly flirts with Summer nonstop and calls him straight up romantic nicknames and Summer just.Does NOT pick up on it,Roy's not even dropping hints he's dropping 100+ level rizz yet Summer can't pick shit much less me

Summer flirts back completely unintentionally and Roy thinks he's sending mixed signals but is into it so it works out.It's an open secret they love eachother and they never deny the couple allegations

Roy helps Summer dye his hair and Summer helps Roy keep his gear well-managed

Battle couple obviously

They're so touchy it's insane.Only gets worse once they actually start dating and their number three love language is physical touch,number two acts of service and number one is words of affirmation

Summer got Roy into solarpunk like how Summer himself is pastel punk,although Roy was already radicalized before they met thanks to Ollie

Roy's picky eater tism,he likes his food extra spicy OR extra sweet and no inbetween Summer only knows how to cook those two ways so match made in Elysium

Summer is a gamer boygirl so Roy plays with him and has put their Minecraft beds next to eachother(I'm so sorry lmao)

They get together in season 5(Kory's season,she deserved and earned one)when Roy needs to return to Star City and Summer needs to return to Metropolis but they keep finding ways to communicate and miss eachother so much on their trips they run in for a kiss as soon as they make it back to CJ and go on the dream date they'd been planning in their heads in little bits throught all the episodes

Summer had his own Slade apprentice arc when Clark died but in this verse nobody knew about the Kryptonian Regeneration Matrix except him just yet and Slade took advantage of Summer's weak mind and vulnerable state at the time to take him under his wing as 'Cora'.Roy saved him both at the time and afterwards as he put him back together

Nothing new to post today, but with a certain milestone approaching, here's a better look at Kori's earliest design!

The art was drawn in 2022; sadly I don't have the first ever drawing of her anymore (long story, but I might get it back someday). But it's accurate to her first design from September 2013!

She was, in the 2013 story, a dragon girl and delinquent who caused trouble so her teacher wouldn't know she and two of her friends weren't quite human. She's changed a lot since then, but her old design is where she gets her hair, black and red color scheme (at the time meant to look like embers on a coal, but these days mostly because it looks neat), and overall exasperated disposition!

Gladiator 300th Chapter Celebration

Thank you @kigozula for organizing this event to mark the 300th chapter of this amazing fic!

Favorite…:

1. OC: Shoji, he’s a sweetheart!

2. Guard: Haoren, just for the way he roasted Fei Li in the Spirit Library arc (sorry Fei Li)

3. Gladiator: Sokka and Toph aside? Rhenzi.

4. Sponsor: Azula aside? Yang. He’s a riot.

5. Pair/Couple: Kori and Sneers

6. Friendship: Azula and Song

7. Villain/Antagonist/Opponent: Rhone. His story was quite interesting.

8. Suitor for Azula: Aonu

9. Place: Northern Air Temple

10. Event: Azula’s birthday (took place in part 1, but I guess it still counts)

Favorite Top Three…:

Kisses (in Part 2):

1. Fire Nation Festival #2 arc 7 (when they thought Zhao knew the truth)

2. Fire Nation Festivals #2 arc 7 (after they they learn that Zhao got the wrong idea)

3. Firelord for a week arc 4 (before facing Rhone)

Lovemaking:

1. Fire Nation Festivals #2 arc 2 (The Palanquin)

2. Return to Shu Jing arc 6 (the hot springs cove)

3. Gladiator and Sponsor Race arc 9 (Oma and Shu’s tomb)

This or That:

1. Part 2 or Part 3: Part 2, mainly because Part 3 is not finished yet.

2. Zuki family or Mai Jian family: Mai Jian family. Yuudai is hilarious. My inner 3 year old related to him a lot at Ty Lee and Haru’s wedding. And Ruon Jian and Mai are cute together.

3.Fire Nation Festivals arc or Anniversary arc: I can’t possibly choose, I’m sorry.

4. Captain Rui Shi or Captain Fei Li: Captain Rui Shi (again, I’m sorry Fei Li)

5. Ozai or Zhao: Zhao

6. Scavenger Hunt, Pairs Tournament, Gladiator Brawn or Sponsor Race: Damn, this one is so hard… I’m going with the Gladiator and Sponsor Race.

7. Appa or Xin Long: Xin Long

8. Sokka’s Squad or Azula’s Squad: Azula’s Squad

9. Mai or Ty Lee: Ty Lee <3

10. Shoji or Kino: Shoji

11. Haru or Ruon Jian: Ruon Jian

Others:

1. Place I’d like to visit: Ember Island

2. If I’d could give the Part 2 a title what it would be: True Home. Because in Part 2 they find their place of belonging near each other. Corny I know.

3. What I most look forward to: Sokka and Ozai’s confrontation/Azula meeting Hakoda and Gran-Gran

5. Fave artwork for Part 2: I love several, but the one that comes to my mind right now is the one where Sokka and Azula take part in the Spicy Ramen Challenge. Imo Seyary Minamoto writing really shines in the most humorous moments of the narrative. And Sokka and Azula being their ridiculously competitive selves over something like an absurd eating contest? What’s not to love?

Guessing Time:

1. Future ship: Soooo, sometime ago someone went to seyary’s inbox to ask her about Sokka and Yue’s future interactions in Gladiator and she answered that while they’ll form a friednship, there’s no room for a romance between them in this story. Then she implied that Yue will find love with someone else, so I sent my guess to Seyary’s inbox and going by her answer to kigozula’s post, I think I might be onto something. However, revealing my suspections might be spoilery, so I refrain from doing so.

2. When will Azula and Zhao get a divorce: I think that Ozai has to be dealt with first. But maybe the spirit oasis thing will be Zhao’s downfall.

3. Hakoda’s first meeting with Azula and Hotaru: Hakoda and Azula will have a very difficult conversation about Azula’s capturing Sokka and taking him alway from home. But after hearing Sokka’s version of the story, Hakoda will be able to forgive Azula. And he will be super emotional upon meeting his granddaughter

4. Ozai and Ursa reunion: Ozai might flip his shit

5. What Ozai’s future looks like: Hard to tell. I’m not sure if he’s going to die or have his bending removed like it happened in canon.

6. When Azula visits the South Pole for the first time: I hope to see her interacting with Gran-Gran, who’ll tell her all sorts of embarrassing stories about Sokka’s childhood. Azula will get lots of ammunition to make fun of him, he’ll state his so called manliness once again, and she’ll think it’s adorable

7. First thing Sokka and Azula will do upon reuniting: The two of them are horny as hell, so… Just kidding! Seyary posted that artwork where they reunite in a battle and make out, but I trust them to have a full conversation before jumping each other’s bones. There’ll be crying involved.

Quiz:

1. First Gladiator Sokka faced: The Spawn of the Volcano, I think…

2. How long they’ve been together: 3 years

3. First person to find out about Sokkla’s relationship: Rui Shi (If we’re taking that day in Shu Jing as the starting point of their relationship)

4. Who was onto them from the start: Song

5. Ozai’s first love: I don’t remember. In my defense, I still have some arcs left to read and I don’t exactly read them in order…

6. First event The Princess and The Blue Wolf participated in: Scavenger Hunt

7. How many times the Blue Wolf fought in the Slate:Twice

8. Which Azula’s suitor got closer to being crown prince: Out of all Azula’s suitors? Kuan, I guess…

9. How old were Aang when he was frozen in the Iceberg: I’ll just say 18, but I really can’t remember *hides in utter shame and humiliation*

Words for the author @seyaryminamoto

Dear Seyary Minamoto: I already told you most things I wanted to by sending some anon messages to your blog askbox. Well, now you know it was me. But I think it doesn’t hurt to repeat myself: I started reading Gladiator recently and I’m almost done with it, cause it’s addictive. It’s crazy to think you’ve been writing this story for so many years. Your dedication it’s really appreciated by your readers. I mean, it’s such a long fic and I’m amazed by your attention to every little detail, at how every aspect of the plot seems to be crafted well in advance. Like Azula telling Sokka about the bloodlust spear for the first time in chapter 46 when their partnership was just beginning, only for it to be brought up again years later at chapter 206! Or Sokka writing his haiku on chapter 37 and the very same words causing a powerful emotional reaction in Azula on chapter 276! I look back to the beginning of the journey and think about everything these characters have been through and how much they’ve grown ever since… it’s overwhelming! Can’t even imagine how it must feel for you. The characters and their universe might’ve been created by Bryke, but just by changing a small detail from canon you brought to life something that feels entirely new. Honestly, I wish I could read it all for the first time again, because I already reread my favorite bits so many times that I know them by heart now. Can’t wait to see what you have planned for the future chapters!

A művészet világnapja

Az ember ősidőktől fogva díszítette otthonát, ruházatát, használati tárgyait, ékszereit. Díszítő törekvésének egyik első megjelenési formája a legegyszerűbben elkészíthető, de anyagában, megjelenési formájában és szimbolikájában is nagy változatosságot mutató gyűrű.

Az elmúlt évben Kazincbarcika-Hősök kertje dél lelőhelyen számos gyűrű látott napvilágot, köztük az alábbi képen látható, négy, ép állapotban megőrződött, öntött, ezüstözött bronz fejesgyűrű.

1.kép. Öntött, ezüstözött bronz fejesgyűrűk Kazincbarcika-Hősök kertje dél lelőhelyről. (Fotó: Gál Viktor, restaurátor: Telekes-Nagy Krisztina)

Valamennyi gyűrű feje dudorokkal, három kis gömbbel, és enyhén vésett vonalakkal díszített, karikájuk, a gyűrűsin külső oldalán él húzódik. Az egyik gyűrűn aranyozás nyoma is megfigyelhető. A négy gyűrű mindegyike fémkereső műszer segítségével a humuszból, mindössze 10-40 cm mélységből került elő.

2.kép. Az egyik gyűrű restaurálás előtt. (Fotó: Telekes-Nagy Krisztina)

A Kazincbarcikán előkerült gyűrűk párhuzamai a megye területén ismeretesek a Miskolc-Repülőtéri honfoglaláskori temető 4. sírjából (női váz, jobb kéz gyűrűsujján és a jobb combcsont mellett egy-egy darab), valamint a Kistokaj-Homokbánya lelőhelyen feltárt honfoglalás kori temetőrészlet 5. sírjából (női váz, bal kéz gyűrűsujján). Ez alapján tágabb időhatárok közé helyezhetők a kazincbarcikai öntött fejesgyűrűk, használatuk a X. sz. első két harmadától a XI. századig nyúlik.

87% and since you told me that to ask about everyone, I had to list every name I knew, here goes xD

B, Baxter, Nova, Mel, Jay, Noah, Asta, Ember, Oswald, Enzo, Kory, A, C, Aurora, Luna, Kuu, Hayden, Tana, Barloc, Bea, Shawn, and as an optional bonus, Dusk

87%. Does your charactee have a natural talent for something? What is that talent?

"I can't have more than 20 ruinverse ocs", I said, "it'll be fine if you ask about everyone", I said.

B: for physical activity. Fighting, climbing, anything that involves gross motor skills

Baxter: for figuring out how things work. Give him a car engine and he'd deduce how combustion can be used for locomotion

Nova: for bringing people together. A natural leader through empathy

Mel: for music. She has perfect pitch and is a child prodigy with her instrument

Jay: for figuring out how people and their relationships work, which makes her great at detectivework

Noah: for language and writing. He developed his own shorthand when he was still a kid

Asta: she doesn't have a specific natural talent, but knows how to work hard towards her goals

Ember: for flexibility, she's made of rubber

Oswald: for transmitting emotions through music. He's a sensitive man who knows how to attune the strings of his instrument to his heart

Enzo: for on-the-spot quick decisions. He'd go far with it if he didn't use most of his talent on witty remarks that often get him in trouble and getting out of said trouble

Kory: for defending what is right. She will follow her morals until the end for better or worse

A: for pharmacy.

C: for people-pleasing. Most of the times it backfires

Aurora: for making stuff work with minimal resources. She uses it to replicate Ancient technology

Luna: for colour theory and colour matching. She is a great landscape painter

Kuu: for negotiation. He would be a great conman if he didn't have strong morals

Hayden: for fighting strategy. He does not like to let others know of it because he's afraid of being only wanted for and defined by his strategic value

Tana: for fast-talking. She'd be a great scammer if the fighter career doesn't work for her

Barloc: for knowing what everyone is up to. He knows the secrets of any group he goes near to

Bea: for understanding animal needs.

Shawn: for fighting strategy. They're Hayden's uncle and the reason why Hayden is afraid he'll get used because they carry it as their only sign of identity

Dusk: for understanding humans. She's Enzo's animal partner and mount lol

Andalúzia, Spanyolország

Az Andalúziáról szóló blogbejegyzésemet nagyon nehezen kezdtem el megírni, mert az utazás célja és körülményei nem túl szépek sajnos. A spanyol-andalúz környezet - amiben éltem egy hetet -próbált nekem segíteni abban, hogy a rossz érzéseket becsomagoljam egy spanyol dobozkába.

Az útitársam egy könyv volt, ami Andalúziában játszódik. Egy lány útnak indul Spanyolországba, hogy felkutassa az anyukáját, de közben inkább önmagát találja meg. Ha kicsit távolabbról-messzebbről szemléljük a dolgokat, akkor az segíthet nekünk a mindennapok nehézségeinek leküzdésében.

Kezdjük tehát az egy hetet. Andalúzia. Mit is jelent ez a szó? Google szerint, ha minden igaz: vandálok lakta terület. Spanyolország déli részét foglalja magában a Sierra Nevada hegységtől a Costa del Sol tengerpartig.

Málaga-ba repültem, és az volt a tervem, hogy az egy hét alatt minden nap más várost fedezek fel. Az első nap természetesen Málaga-ban telt el és azzal, hogy le kellett tiltani a bankkártyámat... De utóbbit inkább nem részletezem a blog keretében.

Első sétám a tengerpartra vezetett, a La Malagueta Beach-re. Ez a partszakasz hosszan elterülő, homokos tengerpart, ahol az idő már éppen aktuális volt egy mezítláb sétához a tengerpart mentén. Kicsit megérkezve le is ültem elkezdeni olvasni az útitárs könyvemet.

Az olvasás után kinéztem a város legmagasabb pontját, és felsétáltam a Gibralfaro erődbe, ahonnan gyönyörű panoráma nyílik a városra, a tengerpartra, a kikötőre, a bikaviadal arénára, a Málaga parkra és a Málagát körülvevő hegyekre.

Egyik erődből a másikba sétáltam át, ami a Alcazaba névre hallgat. Az Alcazaba a város egyik legjelentősebb műemléke, amely egy arab erőd és palota komplexumát foglalja magában. Az erőd szomszédságában terül el egy római kori amfiteátrum, ami a város ókori római örökségét mutatja be.

További két meglátogatásra ajánlott hely még a városban a reneszánsz és barokk stílusú katedrális továbbá a Picasso múzeum. Picasso 1881. október 25-én született Malagában, és bár később életét és művészetét főként Franciaországban töltötte, a város mindig fontos szerepet játszott az életében és inspirációként szolgált alkotásaihoz.

A következő nap Granada-ba utaztam el busszal. Mire a buszmegállóba értem teljesen szétázott a cipőm, ami a napi hangulatomat is megalapozta így sajnos. Granadába érve továbbra is szakadt az eső. Az első célom az volt, hogy feljussak az Alhambra-ba, ami a Mór monarchia erődítménykomplexuma volt. Mire felértem a bőven tengerszint felett épült XIII. századi épülethez szerencsémre kisütött a nap. Az Alhambra-ba előre jegyet kellett volna váltani, hosszú volt a sor, így úgy döntöttem, hogy átsétálok a Carmen de los Martines-hez. Ez a hely “csak egy kis kert” tavakkal, szökőkutakkal, pávákkal, útvesztő labirintussal. Ingyenesen megtekinthető, nincsennek sokan, nagyon kis kellemes sétát lehet itt tenni, kicsit el is lehet bújni a világ - és újra az eső - elől is.

Ha már nem jutottam be az Alhambra-ba, szerettem volna a távolból megnézni. Erre a legalkalmasabb hely a San Nikolas kilátóhely. A séta hosszú volt és dimbes-dombos, de megérte nagyon. A Sierra Nevada előterében és szinte a felhők mögül kimagasló építmény látványa olyan mint egy festmény. Amikor az ember instagramon látja ezt a képet nem is tudja elképzelni, hogy saját szemmel látva még szebb, még monumentálisabb.

Kicsit elidőztem itt, majd visszasétáltam a történelmi városközpontba, az Albaicin városrészbe. A Darro folyón átkelve a Plaza Nueva-n találtam magam, ahol a Santa Ana templom is áll. Kicsit megpihenve a hegyes és esős élmények után, ha már Spanyolországban töltök egy hetet, ettem egy kis csokis churros-t a téren.

Az időjárás nem volt kegyes sajnos, mert délutánra elért a jégeső is. Sétáltam még kicsit az elrejtettebb utcákban, megnéztem a katedrálist, majd inkább buszoztam vissza a csillagtúrám központjába: Málaga-ba.

A következő nap Ronda városára esett a választásom. Nevével teljes mértékben ellentétben Ronda nem ronda, hanem lenyűgöző. Azok közé az eldugottabb városok közé sorolnám, ahol a természet ereje és az ember által felhúzott építmények tökéletes párosításban találkoznak.

A város szélére érve beértem az Alameda del Tajo parkba, ahonnan már picit lehetett látni a szurdokot, ami felett épült a Puente Nuovo, vagyis az Új híd. Érdemes szinte minden oldalról megcsodálni a hidat és a szurdokot, én a legjobb kilátást Don Bosco házában találtam meg:

Don Bosco rövid ideig élt Ronda városában, nem is igazán találtam róla leírást korábban, de a házat és a kertet érdemes megtekinteni.

Ronda másik fontos látnivalója, ami több andalúz városban található, az a bikaviadal aréna, a Plaza del Toros. Nem voltam még ilyen arénában, így itt volt az idő. 5000 férőhelyes az aréna, klasszikus bikaviadalokat már természetesen nem tartanak itt, ma szinte múzeumként üzemel. Meg lehet tekinteni az arénát, a bikaviadalok történetét bemutató termeket, és azokat a helyszíneket is, ahol a torreádorok készültek a viadalok előtt.

Ronda fő eseményeinek színtere a Plaza del Socorro tér, ahol az emberek összegyűlnek, megpihennek egy kávéra vagy egy spanyol ebédre, vagy csak sziesztáznak a szökőkút árnyékában.

Rondáról még rengeteget lehetne mesélni és nagyon sok képet lehetne megosztani, de talán a képek és az írások helyett el kell utazni Ronda-ba és szabad szemmel kell megtapasztalni, hogy Ronda nem is ronda.

FILMSZERÉSZ TOP 100 TÉVÉSOROZAT - 73. Fekete Vipera

Amikor ezt a sorozatot bemutatták nálunk, Mr. Beant már ismertük, sőt, errefelé Rowan Atkinson csakis Mr. Bean volt: a brit (kis)ember szenzációs paródiája. Aki ott lakik az úgynevezett nagyokban is. (És nem is annyira csak brit.)

Errefelé meglepő volt, hogy Atkinsonnak ilyen arca is van, mint amit a Fekete Viperában használ. Pedig sokfelé már régen tudták róla, hogy nem csak a fizikai humorban briliáns. A Fekete Vipera végtelenül művelten és felkészülten viccelődik hazája történelmén, élesen, ám komoly intelligenciával teszi ezt, s a koncepció is remek: mindegyik évad egy-egy konkrét időszakban játszódik, a színészek (nagyjából) ugyanazok.

Nem csak a főszereplők. A hangnem ugyanolyan szellemes, provokatív mindig. Fergeteges, nemes gonoszsággal átszőtt mestermunka, amelyben Atkinson mellett feltűnt például Hugh Laurie is. Utóbbi ezen a képen pont nem szerepel, de azért választottam ezt a fotót, mert a 4 évadból, 1 különkiadásból és 1 ráadás epizódból álló sorozatból egyértelműen az az etap a kedvencem, amely az Erzsébet-kori Angliában játszódik. A szezon fináléját többször is megnéztük anno a haverokkal, méghozzá gyors egymásutánban, annyira sokat röhögtünk rajta. Ugyanakkor meg eléggé félelmetes is volt a rész stáblista utáni legvége.

A második évad befejező részének legutolsó, stáblista utáni jelenetéről van szó. A 90-es években a barátokkal többször is megnéztük. Mert egyszerre volt vicces és para. Nem posztolom a videót. Mert ugyan szerintem abban az értelemben nem meglepő, ami történik benne, hogy logikusan következik a szezon eseményeiből, azért erősen spoileres jelenet. Bizonyos értelemben mégiscsak egy csattanó. Szóval, aki még nem látta, nézze meg az egész évadot, s szembesüljön ott ezzel a sokrétegű poénnal. (Ez a kép is ebből a jelenetből van, de önmagában nem spoileres.)

About the world of Crescent Keepers

The entire story takes place between the years of 2000 - 2004

The main elements of this world fall under two categories: the light-based Hino-jin and darkness-based Kuro-jin.

The main Hino-jin elements are Cloud, Fire, Crystal, Thunder, Plant, Water, and Star. Each element also has a sub-element, being Sound, Lava, Metal, Plasma, Sugar, Ice, and Gravity, respectively. Paint is also an element under the Hino-jin.

The main Kuro-jin elements are Poison, Void, Ink, Bone, Blood, and Ectoplasm

There are also Therians, which are people who are able to transform into an animal form. It is also possible, though rare, to be born without any kind of power, which would deem that person a Null.

The heroes of this world are known as Crescent Keepers, and the current generation of Crescent Keepers goes as such:

• Crescent Echo

• Crescent Blaze

• Crescent Dune

• Crescent Blitz

• Crescent Flora

• Crescent Mist

•Crescent Cosmo

Later on, an eighth member, Crescent Phantom, joins the team.

The Crescent Keepers and their civilian forms will be introduced in their own posts!

The kingdom that the Crescent Keepers reside in and protect is called Kaleido. The kingdom of Kaleido is home to elemental districts that each of the Crescent Keepers are from. These districts include:

• The Cloud elemental (Kumo-jin) district, Zephyr Town

• The Fire elemental (Hono-jin) district, Ember Alley

• The Crystal elemental (Iwa-jin) district, Quartz Mountain

• The Lightning elemental (Denki-jin) district, Volt City

• The Plant elemental (Kusa-jin) district, Lotus Village

• The Water elemental (Mizu-jin) district, Tsunami Island

• The Star elemental (Hoshi-jin) district, Calypso Manor

• The Poison elemental (Doku-jin) realm, The Hex Abyss

• The Ice elemental (Kori-Jin) district, Glacier Tundra

There is also Prism Street, a shopping center, and Technicolor Academy, Kaleido's best university.

More to be added soon!

[not-so-mundane-after-all]

It's January... You know what that means? Y'all remember that little Dickkory sneak peek I dropped a while ago? Happy to announce that Press Play is coming to you NEXT WEEK!!!

Here's another little sneak peek.

"I thought you were in bed already."

His voice comes so unexpectedly it makes Kory flinch so hard her glass almost falls out of her hand. Only her vice grip saves it from shattering on the floor but tequila still splashes over her wrist.

"Shit," she mutters as she shakes off the droplets over the sink and almost flinches again when the glass is taken from her grasp and a warm, large hand lands on her shoulder.

"Hey, you okay?" Dick asks softly, so close she can feel his warm breath brushing over her cheek, mint scent of toothpaste tingling her nose. His touch on her shoulder burns like she has glowing embers pressed to her skin.

"Yeah, mhm." Kory nods without looking at him and buys herself a few precious seconds to collect herself by washing her hand under the tap. "I was just… lost in thoughts, so…"

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you." His voice rumbles with a lighthearted laugh somewhere over her shoulder, but she can't bring herself to look, just dips her head lower and lets her curls fall over her face.

She brushes him off with a shrug, "It's fine."

A towel appearing on the edge of her vision makes her realize she's been scrubbing off a few drops of tequila from her wrist a bit too long to be considered normal. Thankfully, her heart is already slowing down the pace so Kory turns off the tap and gets to drying her hands, hoping she doesn't look as nervous as she feels.

Why the hell is she nervous?

"You didn't scare me, Dick, I just wasn't…" her voice trails off when she turns and lifts her eyes at him, suddenly having a problem ushering the words out because she's too caught up in the sight in front of her.

He's leaning against the kitchen island, watching her with a mixture of worry and curiosity but for once it's hard to focus on his eyes when the light of the lamps around them highlights the edge of every muscle and every curve of his bare chest, when his dark sweatpants hang dangerously low on his hips.

Kory swallows hard before finishing her sentence, "...expecting anyone."

Dick sighed heavily, his eyes glancing back down at his watch for the third time in the past minute. The dying embers in the fireplace were still glowing softly, casting a warm hue of orange over the sitting room. He adjusted his tie, paced around the table, readjusted his tie again before checking his watch again.

“You know,” Donna said as she sat down in one of the arm chairs, a glass of champagne held loftily in her hand, “constantly checking your watch isn’t going to make everyone get ready faster.”

Dick smiled, a soft, little pull of his lips as he took in the sight of his best friend. Sometimes he could hardly believe she was really back. It felt like he had slipped into a dream where everything was finally starting to go right. He was afraid he was going to wake up and everyone was going to be gone. That he would be left alone to be swallowed by Gotham where he would never, ever get out. He was still trying to process it all. Losing Hank, saying goodbye to Jason, getting Rachel and Donna back. Their little family had been through so much and Dick felt like he had been on the edge for so long that the idea of finally going home made it feel like he could breathe again.

“We’re going to be late,” came his diplomatic reply as he forced himself not to look down at the watch again.

“So what,” Donna asked with a raised eyebrow as she took a drink from her glass, “this is our goodbye party, we can show up when we want.”

“Bruce—” Dick began.

“Bruce owes the Titans a million goodbye parties to make up for the hell he put you all through,” Donna replied as she stood up, her face growing hard.

Dick dropped his gaze to the floor. It wasn’t all Bruce’s fault. He dragged the Titans to Gotham and he was going to let it consume all of them without any mercy. The only reason they were still here is because, no matter what, they didn’t give up on each other. Dick didn’t deserve the Titans, least of all Kory. He knew it wasn’t an excuse, but Gotham had a way of turning him into a person he didn’t recognize. It was why he had left in the first place. But it sucked him right back and he abandoned his team to chase his own demons, falling back on the idea that Kory would always be there to pick up the pieces. It wasn’t her job to clean up his mess. He was just glad he was able to find himself and support her when she needed it. Maybe it was too little too late, but they were still here. They had survived and now they were going home. 

“Get out of your head, Dick,” Donna hummed as she tapped his temple gently.

“I’m right here,” he said as he met her piercing gaze.

“I know you better than that,” Donna said seriously. “This place has a way of making all of us feel crazy.”

“I let them down,” he murmured to the ground.

“And you were there when they needed you most,” Donna replied, squeezing his shoulder gently, “even if it did take a little longer than necessary.”

Dick gave her a genuine smile this time. “You look beautiful, by the way.”

Donna was dressed in a form fitting black, sparkling dress with a deep neckline and a slit up the right side. Her dark hair was curled and pulled to one side of her face and she was adorn with silver jewelry.

“Not so bad yourself,” she said with a wink. 

“Dick,” Rachel said as she peered around the corner with wide eyes.

“Finally,” Dick sighed with relief as he walked over to the younger girl. She was dressed in a three-quarter sleeved navy velvet dress with a delicate silver moons and stars pattern.

“Don’t be mad,” Racehl said with a nervous laugh.

“What’s wrong?” Dick groaned as he scrubbed a hand over his face. He could not handle anymore Gotham problems for the evening or the rest of his life for that matter.

“Okay,” Rachel said as she stepped in front of him fully now, “so remember how you said we should eat something before we go to this party because all the food is weird rich people sized portions?”

“Yes,” Dick said with a raise of his eyebrow. Out of the corner of his eye he could see Donna snickering into her champagne. 

“Well, Gar and I maybe have sort of gotten into a playful fight in the kitchen and—” Rachel continued, her cheeks going red.

“And Rachel got ketchup all over my dress shirt and jacket!” Gar barged in pointing to the shirt in question, which made it appear that Gar had committed a murder.

Dick tried to stifle his laugh as he heard Donna snort into her drink. He felt his shoulders relax, knowing this was a problem he could easily fix.

“I think there is some spare dress attire around here between myself and Connor,” Dick said as he placed a hand on Gar’s shoulder.

“Yeah,” Gar huffed, “except you and Connor have the broadest shoulders ever which means nothing is fitting right and I don’t want to be the only one that looks bad!”

“I could probably run home to San Francisco and be back with a new suit in no time,” Connor said, appearing out of nowhere.

“This is my only one,” Gar sighed.

“We’ll figure something out,” Dick reassured him.

“Fashion emergency solved,” Kory said with a bright smile as she stepped into the sitting room. She was wrapped in a dark purple silk robe, her hair curled beautifully around her face. 

“How?” Gar asked as he turned towards her.

“I know a guy,” Kory said with a mischievous glint in her eye.

“What guy?” Dick asked immediately, his lips turning down into a frown.

“I couldn’t bring my entire wardrobe to Gotham,” Kory said as she crossed her arms over her chest, but her posture was relaxed and her tone was full of amusement, “so I had to improvise. Marcus and his boyfriend are probably one of the best things about this city.”

Dick felt his cheeks flush and he ducked his head as he tried not to smile.

“We’re going to be late,” Donna teased as she took another sip from her drink.

“I’ll take Gar to get a new suit,” Kory said as she came up behind Gar, placing her hands on his shoulders, “and we’ll meet you at the party.”

“Are you sure?” Dick asked, feeling a twinge of guilt for leaving them behind.

“I think we can handle this one without backup,” Kory winked. “Come on Gar, we don’t want to miss out on the good champagne.”

Gar perked up, quickly following Kory out of the room. Dick swallowed hard as he watched Kory walk away and it wasn’t until he caught the knowing looks on Rachel and Donna’s face did he finally tell them to get in the car so they could leave.

-

The party was just starting to hit full swing. All the important people of Gotham were there and Dick felt like it was more about showing a good face than actually sending the Titans off in good faith. He knew the team would have rather had a pizza and beer on the couch, but he would be lying if he didn’t say he enjoyed taking a few turns on the dance floor with Rachel. She, Connor, and Kom looked to be enjoying themselves at least, despite the amount of people who were trying to barge in and talk to them. Dick had been particularly good at dodging questions and boring stories from people he didn’t care about. Although, he was sure Donna would kill him in his sleep for ditching her to deal with some super fans. He slipped behind a column in the grand ballroom, pulling his phone from his pocket to check his text messages. Kory had said she and Gar were on their way and he was anxious for them to get there. He knew if anything happened they were more than capable of taking care of themselves, but Dick couldn’t stop himself from worrying. Now that it was all over he had a hard time letting them out of his sight. He got this terrible, unnerving feeling when they went their separate ways for the day. He knew, in time, it would pass, but right now it was slowly eating away at him. 

He was only seconds away from calling Kory when the sounds of gasping and the music coming to a stop made him stop. He turned his attention to where everyone was looking, but when he did he suddenly felt weak at the knees. Standing at the top of the grand staircase was Gar in a nice, new black suit, and the biggest smile Dick had seen in the longest time. Kory’s arm was looped through his as he escorted them down the stairs. Kory. Kory looked radiant. She was dressed in a shimmery lilac a-line gown with a plunging neckline. When they reached the bottom of the stairs she turned, handing their jackets off to one of the workers and he could see that it was completely open in the back save for where the dress tied together with thin straps in a criss-cross pattern. She was wearing the silver Saturn necklace with an opal in the center that he and the kids got her as a funny gift when she moved into the tower. She looked every bit the space queen he knew she was. 

Dick felt like he was going to faint as his heart pounded in his chest terribly. When she smiled the room felt brighter. Because Kory was the sun. Dick had to stop himself from falling into her gravity. After a moment the music started again and people moved back to the dance floor. Rachel found them first and Dick could tell she was talking a mile a minute, smiling as she surely told Kory how beautiful she looked. He watched as the two kids moved off to the dessert table, leaving Kory to fend for herself as several men began to surround her, asking for her hand. Dick moved without thinking because falling into her orbit was inevitable. When she caught him heading in her direction her face broke out into the sunshine smile that made his breath catch in his throat.

“Excuse me,” Dick cut in, trying to play cool as all of the other men gave him a death glare, “I think I’ll have this dance.”

Kory easily took his hand, letting him lead her out onto the dance floor. “I could have fought them off,” she said with amusement.

“You know I’ll always have your back,” Dick responded without thinking as he wrapped his hands around her waist, pulling her against his chest.

“I know,” she said warmly.

The world around them faded as they gilded around the room. Dick only had eyes for her, always only had eyes for her ever since their fateful meeting in that skating rink. He wished he were better with words. He wished he could make her understand how important she was to him. When he left Gotham the first time he had lost sight of who he was. He didn’t have a purpose. A family. He had nothing. He stumbled around trying to be Batman. Because that’s all anyone ever wanted from him was to be Batman. But then he found Rachel and Kory and Gar. And they found him.

“Do you think you’ll miss Gotham?’ Kory asked, but there was a knowing look in her eye as they continued to move around the room.

“No,” Dick said honestly, “I’m ready to go home.”

“Home,” Kory hummed, “you know home has always been with you.”

Dick swallowed as he blinked away the pricking sensation in the corner of his eyes, “I know,” he softly replied.

“Me too by the way,” Kory whispered as she laid her head against his chest, her hands moving up to wrap around his neck, “me too.”

He didn’t have to ask to understand what she meant. He gently pressed his lips to her forehead before resting his head against her hair. They fell into a gentle sway as the music continued to play softly in the background.
