(For Tim's father) (@experimentalfma )

The most recent roll of film had finally been developed, and Hughes held the packet of brand new family photos close to his chest, a warmth already blossoming inside him at the prospect of seeing all of those recent memories brought to life. He'd planned on reviewing them with Gracia once he got home, but a quick peek on the way back wouldn't hurt.

After a quick glance upward to make sure he wouldn't walk into anyone, he gave in and dove into the packet, his smile growing with every photo he flipped through. Unfortunately, however, he was sidetracked enough the didn't look up as he automatically rounded the corner and bumped straight into a man on the other side of the sidewalk, scattering photos all around them.

"Sorry, guess I got a little distracted there." Hughes smiled apologetically and bent down to gather the fallen photos, breaking into a wider grin as he held one up for the stranger. "But how could I not be? Adorable, right? She just turned four last month, and we brought her out to the field to pick flowers for her party. My wife was trying to teach her how to make flower crowns, and I still have the one she made me. Have you ever seen someone working so hard on making one so beautiful?" In the photo, Elicia wore an exceptionally concentrated expression as she tried to figure out how to weave a few flowers together. As far as flower crowns went, it was barely wearable, but in his eyes, it was perfection he couldn't help but share, even with a perfect stranger.

--------------------

It had been a long time since Nikolaos had set foot in Amestris, let alone central. Back when he was a much younger man with quite a few less grey hairs, and not even a wife or kids to speak of. In truth despite the current problems between the countries he did miss traveling and had even missed Amestris itself.

The city had changed quite a bit many more buildings then last he remembered, many quite tall as well. Far different from the quite countryside town back home.

His cane lightly tapped against the stone sidewalk as he took in some of the sights, only wishing he was there on better terms. The chances of actually finding Tim seemed slim but he'd had to take the chance, while cautious to whom he spoke and what he said he still held some hope that someone may know something. Perhaps he should try getting in contact with the man from Dublith, he'd helped him once years ago before and if anyone knew anything.. he might.

Whump

Rather unexpectedly he found himself stumbling back a couple steps but managed to keep balance, photos flying everywhere and fluttering to the ground he placed his cane on top of one before a breeze could take it away.

Carefully he crouched down letting go of the cane to help the younger man gather up the photos, many of which seemed to have the main focus of a rather darling little girl.

"It's alright, no harm done," He smiled. Nikolaos could spot a new parent a mile away and this man fit the bill for sure, while every parent adores their children there was always that extra special something about ones first.

As the man continued Nikolaos paused from gathering to look at the offered out photo, the flower crown in question was clearly barely being held together and very well may have fallen a part not long after the photo, but one couldn't help but admire a child's efforts no matter how poorly the attempt end up. He couldn't contain a light chuckle quite endeared by the photo and reminded of when his own was that small,

"I see, if she keeps working like that I'm sure she'll be making plenty more in no time."

Tag yourself : AC Odyssey NPCs Part 2 (Part 1)

[mimbotomy]

Something I thought about this morning and since I think a couple people follow me because of my Odyssey fics, I hope you’ll enjoy it.

Each person in the family, excluding Stentor sorry Stentor, is known by two names. Alexios/Deimos. Myrrine/Phoenix. Nikolaos/The Wolf. But while the rest of their names signify two sides of their characters, which is most obvious with Alexios/Deimos but works for all of them, the two names of Kassandra the Eagle Bearer are one and the same. Sure, some people just call her Kassandra and some people just call her the Eagle Bearer, but there is no divide between them.

There’s probably some symbolism there I’m not seeing right now but I have a massive migraine because my neighbor’s dogs starting barking at 6AM today so forgive me for it.✌🏼

[birdmanart]

OC time again! This time it’s D.Gray-Man bc I recently reread and caught up on the manga and it made me Feel Things.

Meet Shai & Nikolaos Iritakis! Adopted siblings who are definitely not exorcists anymore…

More information & some interactions w/ canon under the break

In the AU where these characters exist, I imagine they intersect with team 14th during the search for the Campbell manor — I’ve been imagining (and possibly writing) it as they intervene to help with an akuma attack.

Naturally, this raises a lot of questions, since both of them disappeared from the Order about four years prior and were presumed dead.

Some context for these particular sketches:

Nikos was a CROW prior to being discovered as an accommodator when he was about 19. Naturally, he had a bit of a Reputation

They both knew lots of folks at the European Branch. Shai was quite fond of Johnny, since it was his knowledge of garment construction that helped design their gender-affirming corsetry (Listen this is my AU I get to play in the sandbox)

Shai is mute due to damage to their recurrent laryngeal nerves on both sides. By canon era, they speak fluent British Sign Language, and their golem has been programmed to translate

Shai is non-binary. I don’t care if that isn’t the word used for it in the setting/era, it is just important to me to be very clear on this point

At least one of those sketches was solely an excuse to figure out Link’s current outfit, because I think it’s neat ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's Too Late to Be Saved

starter for @centrifugalcycle

The new student instantly piques Zephia's interest. They are odd and quiet, but seemingly familiar at the same time. How interesting indeed. They are clearly Agarthan, though unlike any other that she had seen in the brief time she had spent in Shambhala. The closest example to any Agarthan she could come up with to this kid was Nikolaos, that mousey man who had explained as much as he could to her while she had still been there.

Not just that, but the kid bears a striking resemblance to a statue that she had observed, though her mousey companion hadn't mentioned who the person depicted was, or rather had been distracted before he could explain any further. But now, that statue bothers her, with how distinct the resemblance was.

Who in the world was this kid? And whatever was an Agarthan doing here so plainly at the academy anyway?

Out of curiosity, she can't help but call out to them after class concludes, probably against her better judgement.

"Dear, could I speak to you for a moment? How do I put this... you... intrigue me, sweetheart."

NIKOLAOS DIAMANTIS // behind the mask

you aren’t slick about whatever you think you’re hiding. glass shatters in your midst, blood spills, children scream. like some of your friends, your personality of choice is entirely artificial. the difference between you and them is that you can get away with it. you’re unknown, perhaps even to yourself, and your goals are complex. anyone stupid enough to fall for you is setting themselves up to be frustrated and confused, owing to your being ultimately unknowable. i hope you can find an identity that makes you comfortable.

RAFAEL ESTRADA // acerbic wit

you’re a mentor — an old scarred wolf, an injured soldier, a disgraced paladin. your teachings read as shamelessly pretentious, speaking in rhymes and biting down hard into anyone stupid enough to make the wrong move. this isn’t your first life, nor your second, nor your sixth — you’ll make the most of your time shackled to this world, no matter how many loops it takes to get it right. with every defeat, you reincarnate; a little smarter, a little quicker, crueler and nastier. will you choose to be brutal, equalizing, that final strike in the face of your enemies? will you go soft, become tender and domesticated? the choice is yours. it’s not like i can stop you.

WESLEY BROOKS // silent admission

in tarot, the fool is numbered 0 — the number of unlimited potential. as the protagonist, he is ever present, and therefore needs no introduction. the world revolves around you in ways that i can’t begin to describe, though you’d shrug it off if i were to begin to explain. i need you to know that time is running out. if you want to get this done, you need to start now. sloth is your greatest enemy in this world, and you can only run so far from the opposition when you start with such a disadvantage. keep your head high, yeah? the kid you were is still in there somewhere. you need to show him that it was worth it.

Character Intro #2

Nikolao, Godchild of the Market Lord

Age: 13

Species: Human

Ethnicity: Maoli

Nationality: Keonian, but likes to call himself a "fairylandian," a label that makes sense to only him, really.

Quote: "Don't you DARE pity me! You can take your charity and shove it where the sun don't shine! I'll make my own way off the streets, thank you."

Nikolao is a young teenaged boy that isn't afraid to get a little dirty to get some food and drink. Alongside the lord of the market, his fairy godmother, he carves out a life for himself as he hunts for jobs to get off of the streets. Despite the many cruel rejections from jobs and acts of disgust directed his way by market goers, he is determined to get out from under the Lord of the Market's fur and into the world of working men and women.

It would seem that he plays a key role in the Lord of the Market's desired favor in turn for something she did for Luana many years ago. It is this favor Luana owes to the Lord of the Market, and his own role in this favor that changes his life in ways he didn't know was possible.

This post features Nikolaos Sendarr/my very own version of The Doctor.

He’s the main character I write for the rp chain I’m in. In universe (and as almost anybody who has actually watched Doctor Who could tell you) the tv show exists but it’s barely accurate or consistent with its lore. My Doctor always says that the tv show is based on stories he told some BBC writers while drunk in the 60s.

In general he is loyal and kind and will always fight for what is right. The Time War still weighs on him but he spends every moment trying to do good to make up for his choices as a solider. He’s married to two reapers, Filick and Resin Sendarr and they have 4 kids together. The triplets Cyrus, Abraxis and Jaron, and the youngest daughter Emily. His only other living child is a half siren dragon master named Flynn. Outside of those who are living, hes had 4 other kids and one stepdaughter.

His fighting style is typically any form of European swordplay but he’s also fairly good at martial arts and firearms. Earthan occupations he likes to do for fun are working in a hospital, as he actually is medically trained, and teaching. In one storyline he founded a school for paranormals.

Also his is not how he usually dresses but I drew it for Rachelle for her birthday last week (saying she loves Nic feels like an understatement) and I worked so hard on it I can’t not share it. The second picture is what I usually draw him wearing

The Fire and the Flood

The Alexithenes re-write is finally finished!!! I'm so happy I could do a silly little dance! (Maybe I am doing one, haha!) 🥳🕺🏼

In the year 427 BCE, Alexios allows Socrates to lure him to Athens for the summer. During his stay in the city, his relationship with Demosthenes, not yet a general of Athens, will change significantly… But as the war rages on, will the pressures of the messy world beyond Athens' walls bring the pair together or drive them apart?

Further details under the cut!

Artist's Table, Crete, Greece, pen and ink, 10in. by 10in. by Keith Miller.

A drawing done which shows the kinds of things I traveled around with in the 1970's. Not so different from what I use nowadays on trips; ink, brushes, watercolors and some mechanical pencils. I still remember the room I rented in that picture-perfect town, "Agios Nikolaos"- bare, cold and noisy with the winds of December and January. Off-off season for sure. A rag-tag group of backpackers were there- all of us under the impression that the more southern islands of Greece might be warm!

[kassandras-one-braincell]

ugh when is it my turn to have an irl kassandra i would do anything for her .

anyways what kinds of clothing styles, jobs, or just general day-to-day life (like their houses) do you think modern!kassie/eivor/soma would have?

Pssh, it's not like I've given this any extensive thought in the past or anything... That would be weird... Who would do that haha

I would let's go

Kassandra dresses like a dad who lost his passport in Tenerife on holiday and has been stuck cycling between the same 4 hawaiian shirts since three Tuesdays ago, but owns a few casual suits for work.

She's a historian and museum curator. Specialises in the history of weaponry, occasionally giving guest lectures on ancient swords at universities. Mention any type of weapon and she will not be able to stop herself from rambling about its evolution over the centuries.

Has a pottery wheel. You know that scene from Ghost (1990)? Yeah. Very reliable with the ladies.

Ikaros is her pet eagle, do not ask her how she manages to get him pet insurance because she may have lied about his species.

She has a vegetable garden (her pride and joy, this might as well be her child with how well she takes care of it) and a briki to make coffee with. Kassie always starts her day off with freshly brewed coffee the traditional Greek way, some bread and some fruit, which she always plates too much of because Ikaros likes to steal it.

She's a great cook.

Dozens of books on old weapons are dotted about her home and some (so many. so fucking many holy shit) model replicas because she's a fucking nerd.

You cannot turn a corner inside her home without seeing at least three family photos. Family includes Myrrine, Alexios, Barnabas, Herodotos, Markos, Alkibiades and Phoibe. Nikolaos is in prison for trying to yeet his stepchildren off a cliff.

Phoibe is her goddaughter who calls her "auntie" and Auntie Kass absolutely gives her the world.

━━━( ͡ಠ ͜ʖ ͡ಠ)━━━

Eivor serves lumberjack realness. Flannels, cargo pants, work jeans, yes she has a tool belt, yes she looks a damn treat in it. All she's missing is the hard hat and the protective visor. The axe is in her workshop.

She wears glasses. This isn't up for debate.

Tattoo artist by trade and has a degree in literature. Her love for poetry knows no bounds. She specialises in black and grey realism and her pieces are breathtaking.

Speaking of poetry, her colleagues bully her mercilessly for being a "big old sap". She has fancy paper to write her poems up on, and a wax sealing kit for handwritten letters. She's old fashioned like that.

Technology is a demon she would rather not trifle with. 100% complains about the need for there to be an app for everything, but she does appreciate video calls so she can see her people.

As a hobby, she pursues woodworking and blacksmithing, sometimes selling her creations. She'd make the engagement ring she proposes to you with herself

Dwolfg (or Chewy, or Mouse) Nali and Dandelion Puff are all beloved members of her household. The neighbours' kids named them all; sometimes she babysits Knud and Sylvi, and of course Eira has to tag along.

Her fridge is full of boring meal prep (you better wife her up and cook for her) but her pantry? Brimming with baking supplies. Ma'am loves to bake. Sure, she eats a lot of grrr protein big strong macro gym buzzword meals, but she loves bread and cake. Big muscles but she likes to eat, so she isn't lean, I'm gonna stop before this gets unreasonably gay

━━━( ͡ಠ ͜ʖ ͡ಠ)━━━

Soma, look, this is gonna be specific, but there's foundations for this in game (her metric fuck ton of rugs in the longhouse). She evidently likes fancy things. Her modern!AU occupation: owner and ceo of a sustainable luxury jewellery brand. Recycled metals, gemstones that are sourced/synthesised sustainably, everything is ethically manufactured and her employees are paid well.

She's from humble beginnings, so she does loads for charity and really enjoys quiet domesticated tasks.

Waistcoats and tie when she's attending businessy things, simple t-shirt or jumper and joggers when working from home. Outside, she wears a few rings that she designed.

Not a particularly great cook, but she's a mean pastry chef. She has a massive sweet tooth. Loves to start her mornings with a homemade croissant and a cappuccino.

There is a post-it note above her desk to reminder her to straighten her posture because she tends to sit like a fucking goblin.

Her home is pretty eclectic, which takes people by surprise given her organised manner. Lots of blankets strewn over the couch, lots of knickknacks she collected over the years, some sentimental ones from Lif and some ruder ones from Birna. A few sketchbooks are scattered about with designs for work.

She has a record player and an ungodly collection of country vinyls. It's okay. Nobody's perfect. It's what makes her human.

Also needs to wear glasses, but wears contacts usually because she insists the specs make her look "old", oblivious to the distant sounds of feral lesbian screaming whenever she puts them on.

Summary:

When Alexios had staggered to his feet after being thrown from Mount Taygetos, he believed himself to be the only one to survive. But stepping over the priest's corpse towards the bundle of blankets beyond him proved him wrong.

Nearly a decade and a half later, the relative safety they had found in Kephallonia was quickly vanishing. With Kausos burned to the ground and the cult having found them once again, the list of reasons to stay was quickly dwindling. When the opportunity to board the Adrestia and never look back presents itself, Alexios, with Kassandra and Phoibe in tow, takes the chance.
