FE Awakening AU; Silver Bear House

And here's the third house, the two previous houses can be found here and here

Above the Halidom, we can find Regna Ferox; a land ruled by strength and power. Though the country isn't large on religion like their southern neighbors, they still respect and pled to Naga's Vassal; Tiki. As such, they earned their own house, The Silver Bear. This house values strength, diligence, power and comradery above all else.

Nicholas: Oldest son of Basilio and his late wife. Soon after his birth, the short war between Ylisse and Plegia took away his mother. Losing his mother as such a young age made him strive to be the strongest he could be in her honor, to be worthy to be the next West Khan.

Regina: Youngest child of Basilio and Flavia, the pair remarried some few years after Basilio's first wife died. Basilio spoiled her rotten, while Flavia raised her to be a strong leader. She's a bit of a princess, but she's not afraid to fight.

Anthonio: Flavia's nephew, his parents died in the war between their southern neighbors and as such he came into Flavia's care. A rather reserved and quiet boy, he's well mannered and is always ready to help those around him. He's next in line to be the East Khan.

Anastasia: Gregor's only daughter, she's much like her father. Her parents founded the Ivanov Mercenary Company and she joined at the age of 15. As such, she's quite the strong fighter. Her strength is nothing compared to her humbleness and good nature. Rumors say she was hired by the Khans to protect their children.

Inigo: Youngest son of Olivia and Lon'qu, he takes few traits from his parents. Though he's more interested in dancing and flirting with girls, he enlisted in the academy for dubious reasons. Despite the distance, he's good friends with The Shepherds' children.

Bun'ko: Eldest daughter of Olivia and Lon'qu, she mimics many things from her father, in hopes of reconnecting with her home land of Chon'sin. Dedicated to her sword and training, her focus is solely on becoming the best version of herself.

Nasir: One of Raimi's many sons, he enlisted in the academy to prove himself worthy of a rank within Regna's army. A bit egotistical and full of himself, he's not afraid of putting his money where his mouth is. He's quite the cook too.

Anna: One of the many, many, many Anna sisters. With a new idea in mind to make a profit, she enlisted in hopes of making lifelong customers of the students at the academy. Her Crest doesn't seem to be from the continent of Ylisse though.

Crest of the West: May double might on a combat art.

Crest of the East: May save a weapon's use.

Crest of Ernest: May cancel an enemy's attack.

This house was a lot of fun to play around with, almost no known characters could fit in here so making up a lot of shit once again. Almost no Crests too and they're a country of warriors wawawee

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   Naga: A mythical, sometimes described as a demonic creature. Usually, it takes the form of a snake or a half-human half-snake being. They are seen as divine or semi-divine beings based on the mythos they're being referenced in. They're seen as curious of humans as long as they are treated well and are seen as symbols of fertility, prosperity, and as guardians with the ability to bring forth rain and natural disasters if upset- 

   BARK BARK BARK- 

  You let out a loud groan as your train of thought was ruined by your dog's barking. It was already a struggle to get your ideas and focus in one place for this project but now it was gone with the wind. 

  Tossing the laptop haphazardly onto the couch, you stood up and stretched dramatically. Reaching towards the sky and releasing a scream yawn that had been building up for hours. 

  Realistically, it hadn't been more than 10 minutes. You let your precious dog outside after they begged you nonstop earlier. Better than them accidentally going inside- and usually they would play and refuse to come in for quite some time. 

  Maybe they just wanted a certain toy or a snack or something. Opening the door to your backyard, your pup scurried inside at record speed. So fast that you felt a tail graze past your leg and made you jump. Why were you so freaked out, it was just your dog after all...

  The bit of fresh air that did blow inside was humid. The lingering scent of approaching rain clung to your senses. Maybe that's why they wanted to come inside- you wouldn't want them muddy or soaked anyway. 

  You closed and locked the door, heading back to the living room to get comfortable again. Before you could snuggle into your blanket, your bliss was disturbed by your puppy growling. 

  Their little fluffy body pressed up against your leg, standing in a protective stance. Ears pulled back, hairs raised, a slight snarl, and the occasional bark of aggression. 

  You looked around the room and saw nothing. Was this another puppy fit or tantrum? "Relax you fuzzball. There's nothing here, do you want a snack?" 

  Their ears perked up upon saying the magic word but they remained steadfast. Looks like there was no calming the pooch and you'd just have to wait until they got bored or fell asleep. Which didn't take very long.

  Lounging back onto the couch, you got comfortable. A pillow behind your back, blanket and laptop on your lap, mind needing to get refocused. 

   As you let your mind slip back into your project, the words still struggled to appear and make sense. You had just been typing babbled nonsense on the keyboard for who knows how long. 

  As you realized your mind was slipping, your head started to spin even more. The screen before you blurred into a mass of colors and vague shapes. 

   A warmth draped itself across your body, as if your body was covered in a full body blanket. But you were still seated just as before. You were frozen still as a sweet but faint scent filled the air. 

   You wanted to panic- what was going on? Are you gonna die? What if no one came to you in time and you just rotted away on this couch while doing schoolwork- 

  Your fear was ready to run wild before it changed direction completely. A cold, scaly surface grazed the back of your neck. Vanishing just as quickly as it appeared. 

  The cold scales led to cold hands that encircled your shoulders as if giving you a hug from behind. A hiss resounded before a chest pressed up into your back. 

  "Hmm, so warm~" A low voice muffled by the head buried in your shoulder spoke. This wasn't your imagination. 

  You could have written it off as such but when the warm wet tongue of the intruder made contact with your neck, it was more real than ever. Licking a long stripe from the base of your throat all the way up to your ear, of which plush lips sucked on your earlobe. 

    A shiver coursed through your body and a slight whimper escaped before you could bite it back. That had no right to feel that good! 

   A hand crept into your hair, playing with it a bit before running down your face- pinching your nose, poking your cheek, sticking the finger in your mouth- chuckling slightly when your tongue tried to get away, before dragging the spit-covered digit down your chin. 

  The arm released your shoulder and the spell seemed to break. Suddenly you could move and see properly again. Wasting no time, your body was on the other side of the couch in an instant- laptop discarded and blanket fumbled away. 

  Your only weapon was a decorative pillow that you wielded against whoever was in your home. And much to your surprise, well you were surprised. 

  From the way this man had his elbows innocently propped up on the arm of the couch, you were sure he was a hallucination. But the ways his pupils were striking slits instantly caught your attention. 

 You couldn't even tell what color they were from here but it was nearly impossible to look away. Especially when they scanned your body from head to toe, a stirring arose inside of you. 

   There was no time to dwell on that. Pushing himself over the arm of the couch, he moved- no slithered onto the couch and closed the gap between you. Settling himself in between your slightly open legs until he was nearly nose-to-nose with you. 

  Just past his head, you could finally see the rest of him: A large scaly snake tail for a lower half. Slick, clean, and slightly color-shifting, it was a beauty to observe. As you watched him, he also looked at you closely. 

You couldn't explain why his stare was making you so hot all over. Or why you hadn't shoved him out of such an intimate space. "My, my, what a beautiful human."  His finger found its spot back onto your chin before continuing its trail down your throat. A slight chill left in its path. 

  His cold hands made their way into your shirt. Easily finding your nipples and massaging them between his fingers, making them harden both from the temperature of his skin and the stimulation. 

  By now you know you should've stopped him. Why were you allowing such a stranger to touch you so intimately? But each time the question came up, it flooded away with a sweet warm wave in your brain and your body began to submit to his touch. 

  Your back arching to get closer to him, making him oblige and burying his face in your chest. Nestling and squishing his face in between your soft breasts. Although they were still covered, your entire body was burning now. 

  "You're so warm human. You'll be perfect for my babies-" 

  BABIES?!? "W-What babies… no babies, no, no--" 

  A low chuckle cut off your drowsy protest. His head nuzzled into your neck as he started to kiss along the skin. His soft and wet tongue trailed and covered almost every inch of your neck. Kissing and suckling and leaving his mark.

  "Don't worry, I'll make sure you're comfortable and well taken care of. But you have to be a good girl for me." 

  You tried to protest but nothing came out of your mouth except a whimper. Your eyes fluttered close as a hand trailed down your body and landed in between your legs. 

  His thumb found your clit and circled it through your panties. Drawing circles, pressing into it, and even pinching the sensitive nub slightly to get a rise out of you. 

  And it was working, your face burned even hotter as the small wet spot was only growing. Eventually making your panties useless as your arousal started to leak out and coat your shorts. 

  This seemed to be exactly what he was aiming for as a smirk grew on his face and he tore the shorts and panties off in one swift motion, leaving you bare and exposed to him. 

  The stranger marveled at the sight before his tongue made contact with your folds. Lapping up some of your overflowing juices with a slow and methodical motion to drive you mad. 

  For the first time in a while, you felt like you had control when your hands snapped out and held him by his hair. Soft locks tangled into your fingers as you wordlessly begged him for more. 

  He found this amusing but entertained it anyway. You were already ready for him in his eyes but clearly you were starting to freely enjoy his touch. 

  With his large hands, he caressed your inner thighs as he continued to eat out your dripping pussy. His tongue alternates from slow and long strokes to quick laps and passes with his tongue. 

  And god did it feel good. Your back arched and your hips pushed forward into him as he worked you closer to your orgasm with ease. 

  With one hand pinching at your thighs and the other playing with your clit, he poked his tongue at your entrance. Teasing the prospect of penetrating a few times. 

  A long and frustrated set of whimpers and moans were heard. Grinding harder against his face and pulling at his hair. He better give you the pleasure he was teasing at since he wanted you so badly! 

   A breathy chuckle was felt against your core before he finally obliged. Pushing his tongue into your pulsing hole. Your taste was already amazing but now with how hot you were inside, he couldn't bear to tease you any longer. 

   His tongue thrusts in and out of your pussy, cries of pleasure soon filling up the space. It was hard to tell from how well he was working you but he damn near starting to feel pussy drunk. 

  He's seen and felt his fair share of human women as well as naga women. But somehow you had him shaking and ready to just let loose his carnal instinct and fuck you on his cock. 

  There was no way he would admit how desperate he was starting to feel as his hips shallowly rutted into the couch as he was drowning in your juices. Your sweet taste and tight walls were calling for him to fill you up and not stop until his eggs were comfortably resting in your womb. 

  His own thoughts were interrupted when your thighs clamped down around his head as you cried out in incoherent mumbles of pleasure. Your body shook as your orgasm tore through you and you only filled his tongue with more of your arousal until it ran down his face. 

  Now you were ready for him. As you were catching your breath, your body was flipped over, exposing your ass to him. Pushing your legs slightly open to reveal your dripping core. 

  He couldn't resist running his fingers along to collect some of it on his fingers and leaned over your back, pressing his cold chest into you. Holding his fingers against your lips, you opened up without question and sucked on them. Tasting yourself on his digits and letting out a little moan. 

  You couldn't see his smirk of satisfaction but you could practically feel it. His arm snaked around your waist and held you firm. 

  From behind you could feel his hard cock unsheathe and press up against your ass. His hips ground slowly in between your cheeks as you felt his cold scales start to wrap around your legs. 

  You should've been worried but it didn't matter at this point. He felt big. Like huge big as he slid back and forth and placed kisses behind your ears. There was no way he would fit- at least, not without breaking you. And yet, you still wanted him inside your walls and fucking you stupid. 

  "You can take me like the good girl you are, right Y/n?"  How he knew your name was the least of your concerns. A trail of drool from want was already running down your face as you nodded eagerly. 

  "Good, good girl. Now just relax. Oh, and my friends call me Nico by the way." What a great moment for an introduction. But it was probably great timing because you were already using his name in the next moment. 

  Not even a second after that, his swollen tip pushed into your soaking folds, swallowing him but also stretching out your needy pussy. He didn't even push in that far before you gasped. Reaching back to hold his wrist to halt him. 

  "Nico, Nico, wait! Too big, you're too big-" But your words were ignored as he let you keep holding him but continued to push in further. Your legs already trembling as he pushed past the limit you thought you had.

 Aided by your slick, he quickly bottomed out. Gummy walls squeezed down on his cock just by sheer nature and made his body erupt in shivers. He could feel his tip pushing against your cervix and rested his hand on the obvious bulge in your tummy. His lips kissing along your spine as if to comfort you. 

  "Warm… You're so warm Y/n. So tight and warm all for me." His tone was so lovey-dovey. Silky and comforting as he started to move his hips slowly. Clearly ignoring the tears that ran down your face as he kept thrusting. 

  But were they bad tears? A little, it should be impossible for him to reach such lengths within you. A part of you was hoping he'd maintain a sweet slow pace but it was quickly abandoned. 

  He picked up speed and started to make your head spin. Those tears from the initial stretch soon melted into pleasure, moaning loudly whenever his length dragged against your walls. 

  He actually felt good inside of you. Well and outside of you. Your mind was so blank from his cock you hadn't realized his coils had entrapped you fully, helping him hold you down as he fucked into you like some toy. 

  Your wetness made a bigger mess each time his hips snapped into yours, the air filled with your moans, his grunts, and the sound of slapping skin. It wasn't long before your legs gave out and he was fucking you into the couch without breaking pace.

  You couldn't hold out much longer as he continued to abuse your pussy. His movements got more needy as he kissed and sucked on your neck. Resting a hand over the bulge in your tummy and pressing down slightly. 

  Even when you came around him, it was like it didn't even happen. Your body shaking and creaming on his cock but he kept thrusting. The only change now was his cold finger finding your clit again and playing with it. 

  Rubbing harsh circles and patterns as his hips only picked up pace. "Good girl. Aren't you just a good breeding hole for me?" 

  No?... Yes?... Maybe… You could barely think as he was still burying himself inside of you. But a slap to the clit woke you up and had the words falling out faster than you were dripping. 

  "Ah! Yes! Yes!" He slapped your clit again but went back to playing with the little bundle as a reward. "Good girl." 

  His voice was a low growl-like sound at that time. His thrusts became harsher and less rhythmic. He had to be close and he was bringing you right alongside him. 

  How could he not be- you were so perfect with how you took him and the slight clenching you'd do involuntarily was driving him crazy. Your perfect moans and cries of his name were music to his ears. 

  So it was no surprise when his thrusts became so animalistic in nature. Harsh, fast, and barely a care for how sore you would be in the morning from this. 

  With another pinch to your sensitive clit, you came again on his cock. Although you were also squirting and making a huge mess as you cried out his name. 

  As the ecstasy and pleasure wash over your body, practically blinding you, he pushed his cock into your womb and held you tightly as his own orgasm hit. 

  Long, hot, white ropes painted your walls, overflowing out of your hole even with him still pressed as deep as he could go. Before you could catch your breath, you felt something moving. 

  He wasn't moving his hips anymore and yet the change in the feeling of his cock was making your head spin. In the way that his dick twitched when he came, but this was constant. Pushing against your walls as if something was moving into you. 

  The feeling made your mouth water as you felt something, several somethings push past your cervix, out of his tip, and settle in your womb. Even Nico let out a groan of satisfaction and dropped his weight onto you when he was done. 

  "That's my good girl. Taking my eggs without complaints. You'll be a great mother to our babies." 

  Oh right- fuck. Your brain was so flooded you forgot all about what was mentioned before. And yet, some part of you wanted more. If he was going to make you feel that good, he could fill you up with an army of his eggs for all you care. 

  Your brain floated between coming back to reality and just continuing to sink more into his sweet embrace. It was hard to not pick the latter when he was kissing you so sweetly and caressing your body, especially your stomach like this. 

  You let your eyes flutter close as he moved a misplaced hair from your face. "Nico…" 

  "Yes, my dear? What is it?" 

  Before you could ask or say anything- a loud bark resounded, making you jump. 

  BARK BARK BARK- 

  You jolted and sat up, looking around in confusion. You were… alone? Plus your laptop still sat in your lap with the blanket over your lap. 

  Had that all.. been a dream?! There was no way, it felt too real! But when you stood up perfectly fine with only your fluids covering your legs from the wet dream, you sighed. 

  Was it relief or disappointment? You couldn't tell. You couldn't dwell on it as your puppy pushed their head against your leg and continued to bark, begging to go outside. 

  "Didn't you just- right, right. A dream." Reluctantly you let the puppy outside, trying to make sense of your dream. Granted you were doing a project on them, no wonder one of them would show up in your dreams. Nagas weren't real. He wasn't real. 

  You hated to admit how bummed you were. But as you let your puppy back inside, the smell of incoming rain and the unmistakable brush of cold scales against your leg woke up all your senses. 

  Even when you looked around and found nothing- a part of you would always doubt if that really was only a dream.

Kinaadman Triumphs in Dagitab Open Tennis

In a stunning display of skill and resilience, fourth seed Josshua Kinaadman claimed the men's singles title at the Dagitab Festival National Open Tennis Championship. Overcoming his doubles partner Eric Jed Olivarez with a 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 victory, Kinaadman's win at the City of Naga courts in Cebu was nothing short of spectacular.

Velos later joined forces with Brodeth to win the 18-and-U boys’ doubles title, highlighting the depth of young talent in the Philippine tennis circuit.   Diverse Winners Across Categories The Dagitab Open Tennis Championship, a cornerstone event in the country's longest-running circuit organized by Palawan Pawnshop president/CEO Bobby Castro, celebrated a spectrum of winners across various categories. This included, notably, Jonito Crisosto and Danny Sajonia in the Classified doubles (B), followed by Erolito Remedio and Virgilio Vidal in the C+ category. Additionally, several other players shone in their respective brackets, collectively showcasing the rich and diverse talent present within the Philippine tennis community.  

Legends Shine in Their Category

Furthermore, doubles victories were impressively clinched by teams Alcoseba/Salupado in the 30s category, Benitez/Solon in the 40s, and Benitez/Yac in the 50s. These victories eloquently demonstrate that in tennis, the competitive spirit indeed transcends age, showcasing the enduring talent and dedication of these seasoned athletes.   Sources: THX News & Philippine News Agency.

Setting/OC Master List

So for organizational purposes and my own sanity, I decided to make a list of settings I use as well as my many OCs because I’d imagine it could be confusing for some. So, aside from using tag stuff, if a short story I post here uses a reoccurring setting or reoccurring characters, I’ll mark it at the top like so: Setting: [Insert name here] Characters: [Insert characters here] I know not everyone cares about this sort of thing (it might even be annoying, which I also understand), but I have so many settings and characters I bounce back and forth with, this sort of thing will help give me peace of mind and hopefully alleviate any potential confusion people might have. So, with that being said, here’s the list. Arachnia (Setting): A dark fantasy setting that takes place on a distant alien world. Has creatures and concepts that can be found on Earth but also things of my own creation. Generally my go-to setting when writing fantasy content, though sometimes I use other worlds that are part of the universe Arachnia exists in that I refer to as the Elsewhere. Sometimes stories dip into science fantasy due to alien races and ancient lost tech. I often use this for D&D and Pathfinder games. Reoccurring Characters: - Vernar (An immortal shapeshifter and assassin who uses lighting magic) - Sonja (A young girl who was saved by Vernar from a cult) - Nicholas (An immortal sorcerer who regularly changes identities) - Katrina (A powerful hero with the strength of a titan) - Saint Rosalina (A young girl with divine powers that works for an archangel) - Gaap (A powerful demon that can teleport anywhere in the universe) Phasmovania (Setting): A science fantasy setting in my Elsewhere universe. This one is very anachronistic due to the mixture of different cultures in the region with differing levels of advancement. Some are more traditional fantasy and inspired by ancient Europe, while others are more weird west with guns, alchemy, and magitech. The world itself is post-post-post-apocalytpic due to various background shenanigans, so you might have one character who uses a rune-engraved battleaxe and another who uses a chainwhip with its own AI system that keeps unregistered users from wielding it. A setting I’ve used for Pathfinder games in the past. Reoccurring Characters: - Selena (An amazonian warrior who was banished from her homeland) - Razhiel Legwyn (A dapper ghoul shadowmancer who sells information) - Sombra (A four-armed sharpshooter that uses spell cartridges and dynamite) Bebop Bayou (Setting): Part of a larger collaborative setting that hasn’t been named, this corner of post-civilization Louisiana is populated by beast folk, a race of anthropomorphic animals with physical and sensory abilities similar to the animal they draw lineage from. This setting features magic, monsters, spirits, cryptids, and many characters with an accent in their dialogue (so people who hate that be warned). Reoccurring Characters: - Rina Woodshed (A gator girl who can breathe fire if she eats hot peppers) - Lafayette (A grey fox boy who makes traps and loves treasure hunting) - Scarlet Beauregard (A snake girl who can use magic by sewing) San Karina (Setting): A fictional coastal city set in the USA which is part of a larger collaborative setting like Bebop Bayou is. Set in the modern day, it features the adventures of a one-eyed boxer and a friend’s OC which I write with her permission. Has monsters, super science, and supernatural elements. Reoccurring Characters: - Sachin (A boxer that has naga blood in his veins. Adoptive father of Joanne.) - Joanne/Jaw Kid (A shapeshifting shadow girl that belongs to @thattechnique) Brightsville (Setting): A simple town with simple problems. The hometown of my ecchi OCs Sofia and Nikki. Stories set here are slice-of-life in nature with occasional erotic elements, but most will be wholesome and comedic. This is partly just to give myself practice writing stories with ordinary people. Reoccurring Characters: - Sofia (The good-natured adoptive mother of Nikki. Runs her own bakery.) - Nikki (A reclusive streamer that tries to keep her mother out of trouble) Springboro (Setting): A city loosely based off of Portland, Oregon. Main setting for a gay romance series I’m working on. Like Brightsville, the stories written here are meant as practice for writing ordinary people, as well as romance (which I often struggle with but have an interest in writing). Reoccurring Characters: - Vincent Noel (An artsy florist who struggles to understand his feelings) - Yahya Gamal (A gay college student who is childhood friends with Vincent) Neo Tokyo (Setting): An extremely anime-centric setting with characters who make contracts with spirits to help deal with malevolent supernatural entities. Alternate Earth, alternate history, set in 2025 AD. Fantasy races like elves, lizard people, and other creatures appeared 100 years ago and still struggle to integrate with humanity. Neo Tokyo was built over the ruins of Oceanside, California after a nasty civil war took place between Western USA and Eastern USA. Features spirits, monsters, superhumans, cybernetics, robots, demons, mafia (both Russian and Japanese), psychics, and copious amounts of references (the current president is a giant weeb if that’s any indication). I typically use this for Mutants & Masterminds games. Reoccurring Characters: - Enapay (A spirit channeler who made a contract with Coyote) - Gertrude (A spirit channeler who made a contract with the Manticore) - Lt. Caden Waters (A police officer who often deals with spirits and the mafia) - Kiroku Netsumi (A powerful psychic who is part satori. A violent vigilante.) Shadowtown (Setting): A town populated entirely by monsters. Not a developed setting like the others; I primarily doodle character designs for the setting for funsies. Very Halloweeny. Reoccurring Characters: - Mr. Bones (A skeleton paramedic who married a ghost. Loves fishing.) So as you can see, I kind of have a problem. I am constantly generating characters and story ideas that never see the light of day, but that’s just the life of a writer, I suppose. Luckily with this list handy it’ll make it easier for me to keep things organized and labeled appropriately.

International Rockerduck

International duck fans I need your help!

Lately I've become very curious about Rockerduck's name in different Countries... some of them are pretty straightforward some others I'm really curious about. Now here's what I know or what I could figure out, tell me if I got it right:

-DENMARK: Andy Anderbilt. Andy is a diminutive of Andrew and Anderbilt refers to the Vanderbilt family, and 'And', of course, means 'duck'!

-FINLAND: Kroisos Pennonen (this is one of my favourites! ^^). His first name of course comes from Croesus, the super wealthy king of Lydia. Pennonen is a diminutive of penni (which was the hundreth part of a markka before the introduction of the euro), and just like penny in English it also means a very little amount of money. So Rockerduck has kind of an oxymoron in his finnish name!

-FRANCE: Crésus Flairsou. Ok, king Croesus gets referred to again, and 'sou' means 'penny'... but why Flairsou? Cousins from beyond the Alps tell me!

- GREECE: Ρόμπαξ (Robax). Oh, I'm super curious about this one! I know 'ρόμπα ' (with no ξ) means 'robe' but can also be used to indicate a fool... is that it? Please tell me! ^^

-ICELAND: Jói Rokkafellir. This one's pretty straightforward, but if there's some icelander who knows fun facts about it I'd love to know!

- LITHUANIA: Titas Nagas. This is another one I have little to no clue about! Titas is obviously the first name Titus, but why Nagas? EDIT: as much as I could understand 'nagas' means 'nail' but also 'claw' or 'talon' so, yeah, it could indicate a rapacious or greedy person but 'nagas' could also mean a miser or a stingy person. I'm a bit confused... is the primordial confusion with Glomgold involved in this?

-NORWAY: Rikerud. Again little to no clue about this one.

-POLAND: John Kwakerfeller (another one of my favourites!). Again, pretty straightforward. If someone knows fun facts about this name, tell me! ;)

-BRAZIL/PORTUGAL: Patacôncio. No clue here again, except for 'pato' meaning 'duck'! ^^' I found out, though, that he's sometimes called by the first name of João... how frequently does his first name appear in brazilian stories?

- SWEDEN: Pontus von Pluring. Again, no clue about von Pluring (but he was also known as P. Luring so... I don't know! Help me!). Pontus is a given name that comes from Latin Pontius, like Pontius Pilate. Probably chosen because it has the same initial as Pluring?

-GERMANY: Klaas Klever. Klaas is a diminutive of the name Nicholas again, probably chosen because it has the same initial as Klever. Don't know about Klever... it has an assonance with the english 'clever' but I'm not sure if that's the origin of the name (I mean, in German Flintheart Glomgold is Mac Moneysac so it could be... probably the case since he's also been called Clay Clever).

-MEXICO: Titus Bondi. Titus again, and again no clue about the surname. (EDIT: Nope! That's actually Glomgold -.- Rockerduck is John D. Rockpato ^^', sorry!)

-SPAIN: Pato Rocker (or just Rockerduck). And this one's really straightforward too :)

I know in many Countries Rockerduck's gone through many different names (such as Leopold Kwartjesvinder in the Netherlands, or Anatole Pictou in France or John D. Rockeranka in Sweden - which is another of my favourite names!) so the more informations you can give me about the more grateful I'll be!

EDIT: Oh, I forgot about ITALY ^^' Here he's simply John Davison Rockerduck (he's been just Rockerduck for a long time though)!

Rules: answer the questions and tag nine people you want to get to know better/catch up with.

Thank you for the tag @cupocorn! It’s always fun to do these and I enjoy learning about my mutuals and such. 

three ships: Merthur (Merlin/Arthur, not the Welsh town), Entrapdak (Entrapta/Hordak from She-Ra), and AngelButter (Nicholas Angel/Danny Butterman from Hot Fuzz which is probably a little sad). It’s weird, I watched all of Voltron and yet never really ended up shipping anyone. I suppose except for Shiro and Adam kinda.

last song: Let Go by The Bunny The Bear

last movie: Hmm, I started watching The Nut Job, but it is terrible, so the last film I finished was Hot Fuzz.

currently watching: Shadow and Bone. But I’ve taken a break so I could watch it with my boyfriend, ughhhhh

currently reading: Nothing at the moment, because I’m finishing up uni and I can’t even do one thing, never mind more than one thing. I did start reading this cat book that my bf surprised me with because I love cats. Let me just google the title. It’s called Nala’s World. Has lots of cat pictures inside, would recommend!

currently craving: this packet of puffed salted lentil crisps that I left at my bf’s. I’m at home and they’re all alone and I want them.

tagging: @flyingisabetterwordforfalling (because it’s a while since I’ve tagged you in one of these and I’m 👃-y), @agenttrying (because you have to), @epistolaryteatime (because you reblob from me and I like your profile pic), @chloewithacoffeecup (because fwends), @aroacevaljean (because I also like your profile pic), @feraldeanwinchester (because I’ve just realised I don’t follow you, how terrible), @swords-are-cool (you gift me with so many likes), @diabeticlichen-thropy (because diabuddy!), @lou-the-naga-queen (because sometimes you put comments on reblobs and I like to read things), and @twosigmasbeyond (because it’s been a while!).

As always, these tags are in no particular order, so you’re all viable candidates for being my tumblr-bae (just kidding!) and there’s absolutely no pressure to do this. :D :D :D Have a good evening! x

Fantastic Four Vol 1 #223

Tues Apr 27 2020 [09:18 PM] Wack'd: And so the Four, plus Agatha and Gabriel, are off in the Pogo Plane to New Salem, in order to undo Nicholas Scratch's possession of Franklin. [09:19 PM] Wack'd: Who?! Who calls you that?!

[09:19 PM] Bocaj: His barber [09:19 PM] Umbramatic: the narrator apparently [09:20 PM] Wack'd: There are other "here's how the crew is doing" panels but they're all roughly what you'd expect. Ben angry, Sue determined, Reed thinking, Agatha contemplating fate [09:21 PM] Bocaj: Shake it up, the fantastic four [09:21 PM] Wack'd: Johnny musing on how he's never seen Reed and Sue this intense before besides the thirteen other times he's never seen them this intense before [09:21 PM] Bocaj: Pfft [09:22 PM] Wack'd: Reed and Sue have a moment where Sue gets kinda weepy and Reed reassures her that he'll do everything he can [09:23 PM] Bocaj: Shake it up, the fantastic four book [09:24 PM] Wack'd: How have these fuckers not been consigned to the dustbin of history already

[09:24 PM] maxwellelvis: Because Scratch hasn't yet. [09:25 PM] Wack'd: Even if I concede there are some cool designs, which...eh?... this is the first sign of personality they've exhibited in like three storylines [09:25 PM] Umbramatic: i'm a sucker for nagas but i dunno how to feel about the snake arms

[09:25 PM] maxwellelvis: Gazelle looks a little less Marge Simpson-y this time. [09:26 PM] Wack'd: The lack of yellow skin helps [09:26 PM] Wack'd: Anyway Nick possesses the lion dude and recruits them back into his dark army [09:27 PM] Wack'd: And reveals his master plan, which is to bring back the...essence???...of the Dark Realm to torment humanity [09:27 PM] maxwellelvis: I too am puzzled at how many reappearances these glorified minibosses are getting. [09:27 PM] Bocaj: That’s how I feel about zodiac [09:27 PM] Bocaj: In avengers [09:28 PM] Wack'd: I think seven is too many distinct henchpeople for a villain to have, also, especially in a team book and especially if they're always gonna be a group [09:28 PM] Wack'd: Like there's so much wacky happening here but it just kind of cancels out back to boring [09:28 PM] maxwellelvis: And I do mean glorified because the law of conservation of ninjutsu means they should not have handled the Four as easily as they have in the past. [09:29 PM] Aleph Null: @Wack'd the seven deadly sins? [09:29 PM] Wack'd: The Salem Seven [09:29 PM] maxwellelvis: I could understand that if they had to fight them all one at a time in a series of progressing battles up a tower, but [09:29 PM] Wack'd: Anyway Nick possesses the folks guarding the Seven's cell and lets them out [09:30 PM] Bocaj: I could get behind a shonen style tower climb mini boss squad fight [09:30 PM] Wack'd: Dude seems to be getting a lot of mileage out of possession and it's making me wonder why he even needs a physical form? Though I guess that's not really his goal since he's doing the whole "release the essence of the Dark Realm" thing [09:30 PM] Wack'd: Still though he doesn't seem particularly weaker in this form than he did on earth. He might as well have never been banished at all [09:31 PM] Bocaj: You had one job with several distinct tasks under it, Agatha! [09:31 PM] Wack'd: The Seven, now free, decide they have some free time before the plot kicks in and decide to torture some civilians for shits and giggles [09:32 PM] Wack'd: Really just Nick used to establish what everybody's shtick is with some actual breathing room, which, y'know, finally, but one row of panels each is not a lot [09:33 PM] Wack'd: Vakume (the solid grey one) makes a tornado that sucks air out of everyone's lungs [09:33 PM] Aleph Null: that doesn't sound right but i don't know enough about wind physics to say otherwise [09:33 PM] Wack'd: It's magic, they don't have to explain it [09:33 PM] Aleph Null: ...then why is the tornado necessary? why not just cast a fuck you no breathing spell? [09:33 PM] maxwellelvis: STYLE [09:33 PM] Wack'd: Looks cool [09:33 PM] Wack'd: But not cool enough to screencap [09:33 PM] Wack'd: Vertigo (the Pam Grier one) uh...gives everyone vertigo [09:34 PM] Bocaj: Ah like Zaheer [09:34 PM] Wack'd: Actually I guess that's it because we cut back to the Four [09:36 PM] Wack'd: This is a perfectly prefunctionary, even good, "Ben knows what it's like to be othered" speech, but I'm losing it at it being deployed in defense of Baby's First Dungeons & Dragons Character

[09:38 PM] Wack'd: And I can make that joke because my first Dungeons & Dragons character, before orc vampire and dragonborn stage magician, was in fact a mysterious loner with strange powers who keeps to the shadows. I know from whence I speak [09:38 PM] Umbramatic: pffft [09:38 PM] Umbramatic: i don't think mine was that weird [09:38 PM] Wack'd: I am deliberately and specifically not saying it's weird [09:38 PM] Wack'd: It is super boring [09:39 PM] Bocaj: I’ve been thinking the whole time [09:39 PM] Bocaj: Is this just nick fury doing Dresden larp? [09:39 PM] Wack'd: It is, I assume, everyone's first Dungeons & Dragons character [09:41 PM] Wack'd: Anyway I looked up Gabriel--sorry, *Devil Hunter*--to see if I should bother caring about him. Turns out he's not a new character, but the lead in a short-lived magazine-format book from the mid-70s called *Haunt of Horror*. [09:41 PM] maxwellelvis: I went with Eberk, because clerics were busted as shit in 3.5e [09:41 PM] Wack'd: Written by--and you might wanna sit down for this--Doug Moench. [09:42 PM] Bocaj: Ha [09:42 PM] maxwellelvis: No. Say it ain't so. [09:42 PM] Mousa The 14: Of course [09:43 PM] Wack'd: These two Fantastic Four issues are his first appearances since then, and his last for twelve years before he briefly resurfaces as a recurring Hellstorm supporting character in the early 90s. [09:44 PM] Umbramatic: wow [09:44 PM] Mousa The 14: “I mean, we have the IP, we may as well use him!” “Yeah, but why tho?” [09:44 PM] Wack'd: He has since the only been seen in Marvel encyclopedias. [09:44 PM] Umbramatic: welp [09:45 PM] Bocaj: I still think he’s larp Nick Fury [09:45 PM] Wack'd: Fair [09:46 PM] Wack'd: Anyway, the team arrives in New Salem, where Scratch reappears inside Franklin to say more mean stuff. [09:46 PM] Wack'd: I would assume he's been quiet because he's been busy possessing loads of other people, but no, Gabriel is important

[09:47 PM] Wack'd: Johnny then feels bad for writing him off as a moody loner cliché since he was actually doing shit apparently [09:47 PM] Mousa The 14: Good grief, what a joke [09:48 PM] maxwellelvis: Why's he EMOTING so hard in that second panel? [09:50 PM] Wack'd: (Oh if anyone cares the red haired lady who placed the cryptic phone call is also from Haunt of Horrors and also appears in Hellstorm's 90s book. She dies) [09:50 PM] Mousa The 14: As women do apparently [09:50 PM] Wack'd: Back to the story at hand. It is time for a fight scene [09:51 PM] Wack'd: And then a capture scene [09:51 PM] Wack'd: It's a good thing this book has so much dumb minutia in it or I woulda been done half an hour ago [09:52 PM] Wack'd: So the team is placed on an alter and Franklin's powers are used to bring forth the Dark Realm [09:53 PM] Aleph Null: this is a fantastic four comic right? [09:53 PM] Aleph Null: just checking [09:53 PM] Wack'd: Yeah but this is not terribly off spec for them [09:53 PM] maxwellelvis: Yes [09:54 PM] maxwellelvis: Also we were still in the middle of the Satanic Panic at the time. [09:54 PM] Wack'd: Fantastic Four doesn't really have a consistent tone or manner of threat. They're from the 60s, they'll do whatever [09:55 PM] Wack'd: Gabriel and Agatha use their combined power to turn the Four into a literal love bomb to defeat Nick Scratch's hate

[09:56 PM] Aleph Null: My Little Superheroes: Friendship Is Magic [09:57 PM] Wack'd: This is a nice scene but I'd be a lot more convinced if Nick Scratch didn't try to murder Agatha gruesomely every previous time he appeared

[09:58 PM] Wack'd:

Ben: That wuz the easiest fight we ever had...and it wuz the best weapon we coulda used.

[09:59 PM] maxwellelvis: "We contributed the bare minimum to our own story!" [09:59 PM] Wack'd:

Agatha: Nicholas, you must be punished...severely. I hav erred on the sign of leniency in the past.

[09:59 PM] Wack'd: agatha you banished him to a nightmare dimension but okay [09:59 PM] Mousa The 14: Yeah but she didn’t kill him [10:00 PM] Mousa The 14: They’re magic people, nightmare dimension is really more if a time out for ‘em [10:00 PM] Wack'd: Honestly the "Dark Realm" was originally called "the World Beyond Worlds" [10:00 PM] Wack'd: So I assumed it was a Yu-Gi-Oh "Shadow Realm" thing until this story [10:01 PM] Wack'd: And so Nicholas' punishment is to become like the humans he so despised [10:02 PM] Wack'd: And Agatha decides to stay behind to be an ambassador to her people on behalf of non-magic folks to maybe cut down on future genocide attempts [10:03 PM] Wack'd: 

[10:03 PM] Bocaj: Awwwww.....www?? [10:04 PM] Wack'd: Even as the modern age creeps closer, silent panels are still kind of a rarity [10:04 PM] Wack'd: It's smart to deploy one here [10:04 PM] maxwellelvis: "Hey, how 'bout a little sugar for Gabriel?" [10:04 PM] Umbramatic: awwww [10:05 PM] Wack'd: He just kinda...vanishes [10:05 PM] Wack'd: Reed assures us he probably has his own way home [10:05 PM] maxwellelvis: He doesn't need the company of people with no sugar for him. [10:05 PM] Bocaj: Pfft

[lumberingleviathan]

Hey! I'm Nicholas and I'd like to request a story? Male monster x male reader, please? I tend to like dark, angsty or fluffy stories. I really love nagas, mermen, dragons or driders, so I don't care whoever of them you decide best!

A/N: Sorry this took so long I missed it in my inbox! Thanks so much for the request 💕

—-x—-

You’ve always envied those who take out to the water come summer. The way sand kicks up in their eager pursuit of its embrace, while you sit back towards the shade. Bare chested, long legs digging into the heat of the sand like you can root yourself further that way. Hoping no one notices how you can’t bring yourself to even touch the sea foam edge.

That words like rip-tide, and undertow haunt you both sleeping, and wide awake. That you never learned how to swim, and by now have no interest in trying. Which in hindsight makes the agreement to join some friends out on their boat not one of your smartest decisions. It’s not like you could have known what would happen, how it would unravel the way it did.

All you know right now is the suns warm on your back, and your friends laughter drifts lazily against you. The water can /almost/ seem safe, close enough to see the color, but far enough not to think how deep it must go. You’re just on the edge of sleep when the screaming starts, how the deck below you all at once feels unstable. No matter how you try to get your feet under you, each attempt sends you scrambling against the rail.

There’s the sharp crack of noise, and a large shadow lifts, looming. All but blots out the sun, and there’s no time to react before you’re suddenly in the water. It’s grip is frigid, and unkind. The sun pulling itself further away, while your hands claw uselessly at the darkness edging your vision. Watching as bubbles raise up with each scream you try to make, then the burning, sluggish kick of your lungs-

You wait for the end, but what you find is a shadow swift towards you. Smaller, this one, agile, and his eyes a bright golden color. Gills slit at his neck, and webbing between his fingers. His mouth is a deep near ink blot blue when they find yours, cold, is his kiss, but your lungs ballon with it. Entangled like this you can see his tail lash back, and forth through the water. There’s the clouding of red at his side, a gash he took from whatever assaulted your boat.

Yet it’s still his tail you watch even as he wraps strong arms around you. Chest to chest, and you can feel his scales curving at his shoulders when you palm against them. His tail is ebony against the purest blue you’ve ever seen,m. You starle as his tongue swipes against your own, almost cheekily, and it’s then you realize he’s hoisted you up onto a rocky cropping.

“What the hell- what the hell was that?!” You sputter, mostly trying to ignore the way your cock twitches when the taste of him stays on your lips. How you have to fight the urge not to bring your hand to them, see if them come away blue.

“You can’t swim? What kind of idiot goes on a boat when they can’t swim?” He counters, but there’s no anger in his voice, just amusement, until he winces leaning down against the rock. “Hey- shit hey you’re bleeding.” He grins flashing sharp teeth, “Seems that way.”

Out further you can see more booths gathering near the shamble of your own, and you swear further still you see waves rising, and dropping sharply.

Something fleeing.

His webbed hand touches over the back of yours, his eyes closing slowly, “Just, gonna rest a second, try not to go drowning again huh?”

Your laughter is shaky, but you nod, lifting your free hand to comb through the long locks that stick at his shoulders. “I’ve got you.” You promise.

5315 CGTG 2019

Don’t cancel your ticket!

Manas was calling from Vizag waiting to board the train on 28th evening. He was bewildered by the turn of events. With the forces going into full alert our CGTG was in jeopardy. Our entry to INS Shivaji was curtailed.

Manas come to Bombay and stay with us, I told him on the phone

Theek hai. Rehne ka problem nahi hai bhai. But CGTG hai ya nahi hai

Let me check

I went through a slew of messages in our whatsapp group. Charlie sitting in Goa had risen to the occasion. Plan B was initiated.

I thought to myself ‘How does Charlie know about Lonavala while I sitting in Navi Mumbai was clueless?’

Charles had zeroed in on a few resorts in Pune and Lonavala that fell within our budget (10K already collected + 3K additional). The gen was passed to KOT sitting in Delhi who took over from there to salvage the get together which he had planned for months and now seemed to be derailed by events outside his control.

He took control gave directions to his staff, started making his calls. The program was back on the rails.

BYOB someone said. I took out my Limited Edition Chivas Regal that I had kept for a special occasion. This was a special occasion

Next day we were all there at Serenity Resort coming from Kolkata, Delhi, Bangalore, Vizag, Goa, Chennai, Kerala and nearby Mumbai & Pune. I felt happy meeting old faces. I realized we had become older. Those jaunty strides were missing but the josh was high.

KOT rallied us around with the revised schedule. The trip to Shivaji hung by a thread. Fortunately, by next day Shivaji was back in our schedule. KOT managed to get back the invitation thanks to his connections. After breakfast we all trooped into the Navy bus. As we entered the hallowed gates of Shivaji we were transported from the dusty chaotic town into a neat green institution. The transformation was magical.

Only when you lose something good you realize how precious it was. My mother always used to say you don’t know how lucky you guys are in the defence leading a clean healthy life. I took it all for granted. I thought these privileges were my rights. Now settled in the civvy street I realized what I was missing when I entered Shivaji

At the motivational hall I read the history of Shivaji and the people who made it what it is today. I realized my country is great today because of such institutions. The defence academies, IITs, FRI, ISRO etc which nurture our youngsters and make them solid citizens are the institutions that make our country great. All those dedicated people- the giants- who worked so hard to create these institutions are our real heroes.

I was reminded of the quote by Sir Isaac Newton “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants”.

At the WTC it was fun to participate in the water sports. The years melted away as I went kayaking. The aches and pains were relegated to the backburner. We became young and merry once again

CO Shivaji and his good lady welcomed us all. We had tasty sandwiches and samosas for refreshment enjoying their lovely hospitality. When he presented us with a cap I felt a lump in my throat. The respect that our juniors give us feels the same when our kids respect us today for been strict with them when they were growing up

In the evening the smiles had become wider. The ladies had organized an impromptu show. They called out the names and we gents had to identify the person

Demo Handspring – Okay That’s me

Sunny Side Up – Mallu! Who else

Thompson & Thomson – That got me thinking. It turned out to be Valsan and Bhadra. Apt

The Don – Binny of course

Bahri – Einstein

KOT – Capt Haddock – Blistering Barnacles

Kapil – Chocolate Man

Rana – Hasya Kavi

Charlie – St Nicholas

PK Mishra – Atal Behari

Davray – Modiji

KMD – Amit Bhai

Lavangi Mirchi – Rathi

19th hole – Jiban

Iron Man – Manas (for the iron in his knees though he said it was titanium

Standup Papa – Seby. God Bless his famous son Kenny the standup comedian

Masseur – SK Mishra. Aha the chumpy on Chowpatty

Shayar – Venu

Flying Dolphin – Baijal

Calculus – Tuli

Next day Rajni told me ‘I wanted to name you Milind Soman’

Wow O Wow. I walked a little taller. I felt emboldened and walked up to the lady who had conducted the show

‘Sharmila what a marvellous performance it was. You are a natural emcee’

I am Pramila not Sharmila!

Duh

Ladies! Thanks for the great show. You Rock!

(Ashim & Venu showed their appreciation with their rock-star dance moves)

Every time there is a CGTG I feel this is - the best! Azad (who started it all and whom we missed badly), Murgu & Batta, Kapil, Thakare with help from Naga (RIP) and Manas at Vizag, Charlie who proved there can be a rollicking get together without the Navy support. Thank you guys, you are the pillars of 5315. This time a new benchmark has been set.

Thank you Charles for initiating Plan B when everything seemed lost. Thank you KOT. All those planning and effort that you took was visible. Thank you all participants for without you guys there can be no CGTG

Those who missed out do try to make it for the next one. Believe me we have a champion group here – the 5315!

Au Revoir! Till we meet again

PS – The cost was restricted to 10K. The additional 3K was ultimately not required
