Wedding prompt WIP! <3 Zilvera isn't very mindful of her own appearance, she only likes dressing up Gale. If it weren't for the wedding dress she would have worn armor to her own wedding.

Someday, sometime, Zil will have his partner in the Agents AU

And despite all the effort Zil has made to be serious, he couldn't help smiling after a snowy night scouting

Zil's partner: Sir, you might want to take a look at me!

Zil: *look

Zil's partner: *waits for three seconds and turns on the headlights

And that scene is like sun shading warm light all over him and Zil can't help smiling.

@longjiaojiao THIS HAS TO BE DONE THIS IS TOO CUTE

Who was your favorite Gone character?? Along with your least?

(Its 2 am and in re-reading plague help me 😭😭)

oof okk

from book one? i lovee drake and edilio unnaturally, drake was such an asshole for no reason and i love it and edilio is literally baby, he can do anything, if he's barbie im his ken y'know? ok, not sure who i hate from book one,, maybe orc? he was kinda a dick, but i feel like he was just doing what was expected of him albert a bit? but then again he did run a maccas, and he found that cat so probably not.. i don't think i really hated anyone from the first book, just a chunk of people i either didn't think were relevant or just didn't hate or love-?

from the whole series? QUINN he is literally my child, i would die for him over and over and i wouldn't care JUST LET HIM HAVE HIS BOAT and i vaguely remember zil doing something to hunter, and we can't have that so probably zil (<- was going to say gaia, but it seemed too dry of a response-)

ohmygod- i wish that could be me brooo 😭😭😭

tysm for the ask! feel incredibly free to send as many as you'd like!! who are your favourite and least favourite characters??

[dark-and-kinky-hetalia-scenarios]

Okay first of all a little background info, he's a vampire in my universe here

he doesn't remember his life before becoming a vampire or if there even was one, for all he knows he could have been created as a vampire

he had like a good 100 years where he was really a terrible person in the sense he couldn't control his hunger at all, he'd murder people by draining them

it took him awhile to get his bloodlust under control and he still struggles really hard with it

he drinks animal blood in blood bags and when needed donated blood that the government supplies him with to avoid any unfortunate incidents

his memory is really weird because he does have some that he can't place at all and he does not want to anyway, they are not pleasant

He is a very powerful vampire even by their standards, and having magic of course helps

he lives in the Transylvanian part of Romania, also (if I remember correctly from my visit there) it is a more wealthy ish part

he's a little goofy and he generally tries to be kind and understanding to other people, although he's a slight bit awkward

he doesn't think anyone could love him because he's weird (cough, it helps control his murderous monster personality, cough) and of course also because he's vampire, classic I know

regardless of this he goes out of his way to be helpful and understanding to the people around him, he's more talkative than Norway and more understanding of the youth/new world than England, also much better with patience. He can also be pretty sassy if he gets comfortable around you

he knows of the Twilight series, he thinks it's a little funny, even though he's outwards very much not amused at the whole sparkling in the sun thing

someone drunkly called him a glitter dick once, he got very confused and just looked at the person awkwardly, trying to figure out what the fuck is going on

His main element is fire, ironic really, but it does make him immune to being burned by stake or sun, at least that came when he mastered his element, so he's basically a daywalker (?), If that's the right term, idk

his eyes are blood red but a lighter shade than they used to be, because he's not longer an active killer

Anyways to relationship stuff!

I think a likely case of meeting Romania would be if you had magic too, especially fire magic, and it got way out of control, if it's bad enough the international security, and department of investigation, aka the ISDI (a sort of magical international force I've created for this world to make sense) would intervene to avoid incidents and assign The magic trio to help with the magic, which quickly turns into just Romania because he's honestly the best of them at teaching

now if fire is your main element, which we'll go with here, you would have a much easier time connecting to Romania, as in this scenario, your fires would connect on a magical level

this ensures a lot of fun shenanigans where he opens up to you and get unsure of himself in the sense of "how do I handle these new weird feelings?"

eventually he'd introduce you to his little helper, a fire spirit, a mischievous little thing intended on setting the two of you up

it's cute, there's a lot of training, based on kindness and understanding

if you were to become more powerful than him he'd never even consider being jealous, he'd be so happy for you and praise you for achieving something that incredible

if things get serious he'd want to turn you into a vampire like him, but first after you get married, you'd be his mate in vampire ways and legally

it's his biggest showcase of commitment, because it literally means he'd want to be with you until the end of time

he's such a romantic (becoming a vampire requires a certain amount of draining and also drinking vampire blood)

I'm reading the Gone series to my grandmother for reading time. We're on Lies right now. Her favorite characters are Hunter, Quinn and Edilio.

4, 5, 6, 18 for the non-American ask

4. favourite dish specific for your country?

Call me basic but I can't resist our Feijoada!

Forgot to add but Brigadeiro is gold! Sweet of all sweets! True king!

5. favourite song in your native language?

This one

And also this one!

6. most hated song in your native language?

There are plenty of Funk songs that I despise, but the last song I heard that made me think "Holy shit, what a annoying ass song" was this one

18. do you speak with a dialect of your native language?

That's a funny thing actually, I'm from São Paulo and we Paulistas love to say "Oh, but we don't have dialects or accents"

But we do. Oh, we do!

We have the tendency of never pronouncing the R by the end of the words, meanwhile if the R is in the middle of the word like "porta" (door) we say it like "porrrrta"

Also, we always pronounce words ended in "e" with "i" instead it's "Leite quante" (warm milk) but we pronounce "Leiti quenti"

There's also our expressions, "Mano do céu!", "veio!", "rolê", "Mó cota!" And SO ON!

Everyone is "Mano", it's like saying "bro" and we use it all the time! Whenever we excitingly call some friend we start with "MANO--" it's the law😂

I HC Gale, who is the canon cook in the party, and also the condition with the magic items, has sharing food as a love language. How would that develop with Zilvera? Considering I can see her at the first days with the new team trying to eat the least possible from other people's cooking in fear of being posioned, hence being the fact that at some point eats Gale's food without at least checking it first and maybe even asking for seconds as a signal of full trust.

"You must know, our relationship is the brightest spot in our otherwise bleak endeavour."

- Hi anon! thanks for the ask, and I HC the same! 💜🙌 I placed this moment not long after Elminster's first visit. They just got into the cursed land, before Act 2 scene. It's the time I HC Gale's heart had been heavier with every moment when all they saw was one horror following another. He was painfully pondering if Mystra's demand was necessary. I also have quite a few HCs around this topic <3!

So Zilvera has several layers of strategies to avoid being poisoned:

A special set of utensils, plates, and bowls that would react and reveal most types of poison

Eating small amounts, at irregular times, and in irregular quantities

Consciously consuming poison to build immunity

Studying whenever she has the time

Never talking about her strategies—but Gale had figured it out since his eyes always wandering back to her.

And Cooking:

Zilvera doesn't cook. 1) She finds it troublesome, 2) is not picky about food, 3) has no interest, and 4) thinks it's a servant's job.

Gale's cooking and seasoning unconsciously aim to please Zilvera. Later on, he basically cooks to suit her tastes.

Zilvera can eat the same thing repeatedly. Gale absolutely cannot, he needs variations.

Much later, when they live together, they agree that if Zilvera upset Gale, she has to cook whatever he requests. (He usually order seafood just to see her frown. My HC romanced Gale is a terrible tease XD)

Damn.... I love you in every universe, blue boy........................

Some short clips happens between my Cars OCs and some canon characters who become more and more like OCs

Take I: Zil and Boris and the four medics saving Siddeley along with three C.H.R.O.M.E. agents

Boris: I thought I was just stopping by the airport for fuel and look at me now. What, a Gulfstream V who was modified to be able to hover in the air, was down because he flew into Russian from the Arctic? You've got to be kidding me

Eva: Stop complaining and get to work! Zil promised he'll pay for the bill once we get these idiots to safety

Alyona: *hanging around trying to wake Finn and Rod up and gave Holley her cocoa (with too much caffeine)

Daniil & Michaele: *Trying to make Siddeley stable while Eva gave the spy plane some transfusion and medical treatment

(After they were back in the hangar)

Zil: *typing the bill with an extremely experienced way

Finn: *Noticed

Finn: You're quite good at doing that

Zil: Believe me, I'd rather not be this good

Take II: Leland's reunion with the C.H.R.O.M.E. agents (if only it's single-sided)

Leland, back in his usual red paint and without his frame disguise: Finally, this is what I called freedom

Boris: You've been in here driving in circles and trying to climb the hangar walls for over an hour, why don't you get to explore the hangar next to this one? Zil gave you the permission

Leland: You putting things like that makes me not wanting to go

Boris: The lunatics will be back in no time, I don't want the five of you blowing up our cover

Leland: Fine… but you did know that they can held a party inside you, right?

Boris: *Stares

Leland: I'm leaving!

(After a single glance into the door of the next hangar)

Leland: *ran back the where Boris stays, and now with four forklifts pressing close onto his belly, sleeping soundly

Leland: You didn"t tell me it was THEM!

Boris, with his default bored expression: Figured you'll get it when you saw Siddeley

Leland: Sid was almost the only plane sticking around! He could've pick anyone else!

Boris: Shouldn't this be a happy reunion?

Leland: No. I'm not ready to be not-dead, and if I didn't explain good enough, Finn will probably- bloody hell, I don't even know what he'll say

Boris: You're overthinking. They will be awake in the afternoon, you'd better ready to be NOT-DEAD by then

Leland: Thanks for the support, MATE.

Clips like this are what make me wanting to write the stories that bring the characters up!

Chapter Spotlight 5:

"Allegations of Chinoiserie: Gu(o)feng, Authenticity, and (Self-)Orientalization in Chen Qing Ling and Its Companion Album" by 墨客hunxi

Describe your topic/chapter in one sentence/one meme/140 characters.

Surprisingly absolutely no one whatsoever, I spend 4k+ words getting way too deep in the weeds regarding the translation choice of one (1) word. Now with bilingual footnotes in Chicago style!

What drew you to this topic?

I got distracted while working on translations of the CQL companion album back in the day and decided to make it everyone's problem.

Who's your favorite character?

How dare you try to make me choose between Lan Xichen and Xiao Xingchen!!!

Favorite line from the text?

To this day, I still really love the first line from the chorus of 《无羁》 Wuji:

煮一壶生死悲欢 / Warm a vintage of life and death, sorrows and joy 祭少年郎 / to commemorate the young men who have passed

Particular shout-out to the lyricist, 冥凰 Ming Huang — now that I've spent a little more time splashing about on the shallow end of Chinese internet fandom, I'm getting a better handle on which lyricists are out for blood.

Hey, so what's this gu(o)feng business?

Aha! Gu(o)feng is my terrible bastardization/smooshing-together of the terms 古风 gufeng and 国风 guofeng (lit. "ancient style" and "national style"). They are two contemporary Chinese music genres that intersect precisely at the confluence of authenticity and aestheticization, tradition and reception, fan production and original work, electric guitar and guzheng and suona and dizi. I can't get too far into it without really getting into it, so instead I will leave you with some links:

《倾尽天下》 by 河图

《琴师》 by 音频怪物

《风花雪月》 by 紫堂宿、林斜阳

《卷珠帘》 by 霍尊

《无约而来》 by 远皓zil、默默

《山外》 by 张远
