Vesuvia Weekly: First Date Headcanons

To set the scene: Nearly a month has passed since that fateful Masquerade. Things are being rebuilt. The city is growing and improving. And there have been many, many celebrations, both large and small. But our heroes have hardly gotten any chance to rest. So the M6 finally decided to take things into their own hands...

Nadia, Portia, and Chimalus

There was never a shortage of fancy events for the three of them to share.

When you’re dating (and/or engaged to) the Countess, those tend to happen.

And the trio snuck off to quieter corners of the palace as often as they could (which was never often enough)

But with both Nadia and Chimalus in high demand for their various areas of expertise, and Portia's new Chamberlain title keeping her busy, there wasn’t time for a real, true date.

Not until Portia made it happen.

Portia spent weeks silently gathering information in her scant free time

All to plan the perfect getaway: a day out on the town in “disguises” (otherwise known as casual clothes)

Because the two loves of her life absolutely need a day out without any stuffed-up nobles breathing down their necks.

Portia knows the Vesuvian markets better than almost anyone, so once she knows what she’s looking for, she easily finds the best possible places to stop.

After visits to museums, watching a street performance, and going on an amazing shopping spree, the trio ended the day at a bookshop in the Heart District.

(Because out of all the things the three of them have in common, the greatest is their love of reading)

And right next to the book shop was an adorable little tea shop.

They spent far too long in there, chatting about the books they just purchased and draining an entire teapot between the three of them.

Of course, they could always just have tea in the palace. But the atmosphere was so cozy, and even at the shop’s busiest, the chatter is almost soothing.

Plus this shop had such cute teacups, and so many teas that Nadia has never heard of, and delicious little pastries and tea cakes… After that night, the shop become one of the trio’s favorite places to visit.

They always enjoy their time there.

(And all the people working at the tea shop very politely pretend that they don’t recognize the Countess herself under her scarf.)

Asra and Meleia

Asra was eager to plan the whole event.

He wanted the date to be both relaxing and full of all the things that Meleia adored. It was what she deserved after they defeated the Devil together and finally had room to breathe.

So he made her favorite meal, and did his best to recreate the moment of their first kiss: the beginning of the Masquerade, right after dealing with the Lazaret.

The two of them were out on the water, sharing a beautiful moment under the fireworks.

Of course, for this date, they were the only ones who took a boat out that night. And instead of fireworks, Asra used his magic to create a dazzling display of lights in the sky.

Some of the images were so tightly timed together that it looked like animation. Particularly animation of two very familiar-looking figures dancing among the stars.

Inspired, Meleia invited him to dance the moment they got to the shore.

The two of them never needed any music to dance together.

Julian and Damian

According to Damian, the two of them have gone on a lot of dates.

Grabbing coffee right before work? A date.

Unwinding in the Rowdy Raven after an especially long day? A date.

Accidentally wandering into one of the town’s many celebrations and playing music together? A date!

They’ve had so many of these moments that Damian declared dates that now Julian is determined to take him on an actual date.

He’s even more determined to do it right.

And to fill it with everything Damian enjoys.

So he makes a plan.

Step one: clean up the little garden that he and Damian used as a hiding spot when Julian was still on the run from the guards and use it as a picnic spot.

Step two, serenade him with an original song.

Step three, take him to the most romantic community theater show possible.

Step four, celebrate their successful date with fancy drinks.

Of course, none of it quite goes according to plan.

The garden is somehow messier than it was before, the original song is half-finished, and the show was a bit more melodramatic than advertised.

At least the drinks were good.

But honestly, as far as Damian was concerned, all the little mishaps just made the whole thing more endearing.

(And Julian's unfinished song granted the perfect opportunity for him to get out his guitar when they got home and help Julian finish writing it)

Thinking about Elizabeth Woodville as a gothic heroine is making me go insane. She entered the story by overturning existing social structures, provoking both ire and fascination. She married into a dynasty doomed to eat itself alive. She was repeatedly associated with the supernatural, both in terms of love and death. Her life was shaped entirely by uncanny repetitions - two marriages, two widowhoods, two depositions, two flights to sanctuary, two ultimate reclamations, all paralleling and ricocheting off each other. Her plight after 1483 exposed the true rot at the heart of the monarchy - the trappings of royalty pulled away to reveal nothing, a never-ending cycle of betrayal and war, the price of power being the (literal) blood of children. She lived past the end of her family name, she lived past the end of her myth. She ended her life in a deeply anomalous position, half-in and half-out of royal society. She was both a haunting tragedy and the ultimate survivor who was finally free.

The black flakes from Danny’s arm, reveals his bleeding fist wrapped up in razor thin strings of bright light — the metaphysical representation of the unraveling fabric of reality. Fingers dripping red and green, Danny squeezes and the fuzzy edges to his fritzing outline solidify.  Somewhere, somewhen, something is happening. Has been happening, and is now trying to draw itself to a close.

wip wednesday: picking at it slowly but surely

[rouge-the-bat]

need kurama to be gay yearning and staying up way too late doing homework bc he spent too much time with hiei (knew he was managing his time badly but decided it was totally worth the lack of sleep so he could have fun with his crush. he can allow himself a normal teenager moment sometimes).

and in his sleepy delirious gay longing he becomes fixated on hiei taking his last name once theyre together. and cant get it out of his head. so he allows himself another stereotypical teenager moment and writes "hiei minamino" and their names together surrounded by a bunch of hearts over and over in his notebook. before he proceeds to pass out on his desk. with said notebook with obvious gay writings still open.

luckily for him, hiei didnt show back up in the middle of the night and see it.

but- his mom wakes up in the middle of the night, and decides to go check on him since she knows he was staying up late working by the time she went to bed. and when she finds her poor son has overworked himself and fell asleep on his desk (again), of COURSE shes going to come over to usher him to bed. and when the desk light is perfectly illuminating his notebook covered in hearts right beside his head, its hard to not take notice of it, or that it clearly reveals her son has a crush on his little friend he spends so much time with

What’s up with me posting Art all of a sudden???

ASTER: THE FALLEN CHAMPION

This is Aster. He’s the Red from my own Blue Tears AU. I’ve never actually drawn him before, he’s just kinda lingered in my mind for two or so years—so this is the first pass of his design! Aster is a free-roaming spirit that, while missing his own tangible body, uses his new ghostly form to try and spread a little joy. Leaving nice messages and gifts of flowers for those he thinks need a reason to smile.

(Hey! Psst! @creatively-cosmic! You said you wanted to see him—so here he is!)

Other Versions of the art below the cut.

And yes: he has eyes. They’re just covered by the shadow of his cap.

you know the brain rot is bad when you're frame by frame going through the intro to a movie just to read the text for random lore bits

[oflgtfol]

we work together later this week i think im just gonna be straight up after our shift ends i'll be like hey dude. i am Aromantic. and i'll explain it to him if i must. we have a lot of mutual queer friends so hopefully he's at least acquainted with the vague idea. so i'll explain it to him and lay it all out. like i do not - i cannot - feel anything romantic, but i know that i like talking and hanging out with you, and i'm not opposed to like, seeing where this goes, so long as like, YOU are okay with the idea of me not reciprocating the romantic feelings. not because of anything about you but because of me and who i am. this is potentially weird and nontraditional and potentially even offputting to "date" someone who doesn't reciprocate your romantic feelings but like it certainly can and has been done before and as long as YOU are chill with the idea then i'm down to try it out. i also don't know what "it" is because as i said i'm aromantic i don't know what any of this entails. so forgive me if i'm also a little bit clueless in all this. so i'm gonna lay it all out honestly and let him make the decision if he wants to continue because i sure as fuck do not know what the hell is going on in my life anymoreeeee

I feel like after having one date with a guy and giving two others my Snapchat is a bad time to realize I don’t think I wanna be dating right now 😅
