~~~~

"I didn't have the best life growing up, my mother passed when I was three and my father vanished on the battlefield. I stopped feeling most emotions until Livia came to me, followed by our baby. Layena Sakurai Vanrouge. I won't let her experience the same pain I did, I'll always be around for her when she needs me, I won't leave her side even when she's all grown up. I want to see her smile and hear her call my name. No matter what, I'll do what I can to protect my baby....my sweet Layana" -Vlad

books read in 2023

WHAT, how is it already the next year, I'm not ready to be done with my 2023 reading list! This year I read 73 books, which is my lowest total since 2016. I got so distracted by just thinking about Heaven Official's Blessing constantly that I did hardly any reading of anything else for the last several months of the year!

If you want to ask me anything about any of the books I read, please feel free! I'm always happy to talk books!!

Italics indicate a reread. Each book is rated from one to five stars according to my personal reaction to it, rather than my judgement of its objective worth.

NEWLY single Florence Pugh is said to have caught the eye of Normal People star Paul Mescal.

The pair made a beeline for each other following the Baftas ceremony at London’s Royal ­Festival Hall...

Florence, 28, was seen party- ­hopping after the main do, heading to the NoMad Hotel for the Universal after-show bash.

She then flitted two miles away to the Chiltern Firehouse, where Paul was enjoying some of the hospitality laid on by Netflix.

She arrived at the event at around 1.30am and then spent the rest of the night rubbing shoulders with heart-throb Paul, also 28, as well as stars including Rosamund Pike, Sacha Baron Cohen and Lily James...

At Netflix’s bash, Paul was seen hanging out with Andrew Scott, his co-star in film All of us Strangers.

The pair hugged for the cameras and were in great spirits, despite Paul losing out in the Best Supporting Actor category to Robert Downey Jr for his role in Oppenheimer...'

[verumfm]

━◈ WANTED CONNECTIONS ... a new one has been added to the page!

there are tales of how verumfm is searching for the demon pretending to be a professor, which is demonic in nature. the records show that they are about 35+ years old and their photographs look like andrew koji, dian sastrowardoyo, janelle monae, lily gladstone, sinqua walls, gong yoo, nicola coughlan, sukru ozyildiz, aishwarya rai, arjun rampal, alex meraz, arifin putra, ario bayu, deepika padukone, elodie yung, may calamawy, alexander skarsgard, yoghurt nattasha, oliver jackson cohen, sacha dhawan, ilhan sen, lewis tan, liu wen, sanada hiroyuki, fan bingbing, fc ultimately utp. help us find them, but make sure that you speak to the admins at @verumfm on tumblr beforehand. this is their story so far: when the demons came on new year’s eve, a professor got lost in the woods and never came back. dead. but the verum term must go on, and being short-staffed during a prison of a mudslide is difficult. so they find a replacement, in a person that most in town swore up and down they’ve never met before. no one knows where the new professor came from, if they’ve simply been a reticent creature who avoided social interactions or if someone new snuck into the town a little prior to the mudslide. but the truth is this: no one has ever seen them because they never existed before the new year. this muse is a demon who took a humanoid form and walked into verum one day, inquiring about the open professor position. they proved themselves more than capable, and beggars can’t be choosers. of course, verum academy does not know the truth about them, but barely any background check was conducted in the first place. what this muse’s motivation is to play pretend at teaching is entirely utp! those interested in this position should make sure to read the posts here, particularly the “woodland (search) party” scenario in the event post. as this wc is for a demon, this is only open to members of the roleplay.

[aifolksongs101]

If there were a Corpse Bride live action film.

1.Victor Van Dort:

- Eddie Redmayne: With his ability to portray vulnerability and charm, Redmayne would be an excellent choice to play the timid and nervous groom-to-be, Victor.

2. Emily (The Corpse Bride):

- Emma Stone: Known for her versatility and ability to bring depth to her characters, Stone could capture both the haunting beauty and tragic nature of Emily.

3. Victoria Everglot:

- Lily James: James has proven her talent in period dramas and could embody Victoria's grace, elegance, and determination as she navigates her complicated love triangle.

4. Lord Barkis Bittern:

- Tom Hiddleston: Hiddleston's ability to portray complex villains with charisma makes him an ideal candidate for the conniving and manipulative Lord Barkis.

5. Nell Van Dort:

- Helena Bonham Carter: Given her previous collaboration with director Tim Burton and her talent for playing eccentric characters, Bonham Carter could bring humor and quirkiness to Victor's overbearing mother.

6. William Van Dort:

- Colin Firth: Firth's refined acting style would suit the role of Victor's stern and traditional father, adding depth to the character's internal conflict.

7. Pastor Galswells:

- Hugh Grant: Grant's comedic timing and charm would make him a great fit for the bumbling yet well-meaning Pastor Galswells.

8. Elder Gutknecht:

- Ian McKellen: With his commanding presence and gravitas, McKellen could bring the enigmatic and wise Elder Gutknecht to life.

9. Maggot:

- Andy Serkis: Known for his motion-capture performances, Serkis could lend his talent to bring the creepy yet endearing character of Maggot to the screen.

10. General Bonesapart:

- Mark Strong: Strong's ability to portray authoritative and intense characters would make him a suitable choice for the stern and militaristic General Bonesapart.

11. Mrs. Plum:

- Meryl Streep: Streep's versatility and ability to embody a wide range of characters would make her an excellent choice for the eccentric and mysterious Mrs. Plum.

12. Paul the Head Waiter:

- Sacha Baron Cohen: Cohen's comedic prowess and ability to bring eccentric characters to life would make him a perfect fit for the flamboyant and hilarious Paul.

It is important to note that these casting choices are purely speculative and based on the actors' previous performances, suitability for the roles, and their potential chemistry with other cast members. The actual casting decisions for a live-action "Corpse Bride" movie would depend on various factors, including directorial vision, availability, and auditions.

~~~~~

Personality: Livia is naturally cheerful and enjoys being around family members and friends. Others state that people are naturally drawn to her due to her cheerfulness and compassionate behavior. She's very naive and childish, leading to some accidents(Getting caught in the human stampede from chapter 2 after Ziro tells her about a candy stand), but she is resilient and smart when she's not scared silly or having been tricked from trusting someone too much. She does have s scary side despite acting like a toddler and has been commented on by others that she's perfected Lilia's signature glare. She loves her family dearly and is protective of them, especially of Silver who is her favorite sibling out of them all, preferring to take the fall rather than them.

She can be a bit loud mouthed and accidentally sassy, having gotten it from Malleus while she was growing up. When she's upset, she has a sharp tongue and will do what it takes to get back at the person who thought it was okay to turn her positive emotions into negative ones. Even as Ogre she remains the same but plays no games when it comes to throwing down with the overblot boys. She's determined and soft-hearted when it comes to her goals, believing that one can reach if if they do their best.

Appearance: Livia stands at 5'6 which is 167 cms in height. Her hair color is midnight black with purple underneath, fading into a light blue, along with a streak of the same color at the front of her hair, but she ended up cutting her hair to waist length hating how long it was, and since she tended to stumble over her own hair a few times(which made Lilia laugh). Livia's eyes are a pale blue which is a sign of rebirth. Her jaguar ears are a bright yellow the same with her tail, but her ears are slightly smaller due to her only being half jaguar.

Livia, during the Diasomnia Arc, gets a pair of horns that curls around her ears. Her wings turn from black to a slightly lighter grayish black color, and now she always has her wings out at all times since her curse no longer affected her. Her eyes change from blue to gold, but is able to change colors depending on her emotions.

Her dorm uniform is the same as everyone else's residing in Diasomnia. Livia wears purple eyeshadow, done by Lilia, when in the dorm. Her uniform consists of a black all-weather coat with neon green and silver accents, black combat suspenders and belts, jodhpur pants, a small garrison cap, black gloves, and heeled knee-high boots.

The all-weather coat has asymmetrically colored lapels, with one black and one neon green. Both lapels have silver straps and buttons on them. Two silver zippers go down the center of the coat, lined with neon green stripes. The coat reaches below the waist in length, and the sleeves are folded up to reveal a neon green underlining with silver trim. Sebek wears a white collared shirt and black tie underneath his coat.

Over the coat and above the waist is a set of black belts with silver buckles. The lowest belt hangs at an angle, and connects to several silver spools of thread on his left hip. Between the belt and spools is a silver ornament, shaped like a spinning wheel. On the other side of the belt is a holster for a magic pen. The black combat suspenders worn above the belts have silver buttons and a unique cuff around the right arm that resembles a dragon’s wing.

The jodhpur pants are black with neon green stripes going down the outer seams, and the knee-high boots are black with neon green soles. The garrison cap is black with neon green trim, and the sides fold up to resemble curved horns.

~~~~~

Unique magic:

Emotion Weather(Formerly) Description: Livia is able to control the weather with her emotions(Happy means Sunny, Sad and crying causes rain, fury causes a thunderstorm, excitement causes a near drought, etc, etc), it activates if she chants a rhyme responding to her current emotion or current forced emotion ("Hail, Rain, Sunny, Storms respond to my sadness dear rain, bring a rain storm!"). It'll deactivate the moment she goes back to the emotion she's currently genuinely feeling.

Voodoo dolls(Currently) Description: Livias Unique Magic allows her to turn people and objects into voodoo dolls who become controlled by her and won't return to their normal forms unless she frees them so willingly. Her Unique Magic is revealed after she is revived by Meleanor and she returns to help the ramshackle group, Silver, Sebek, Idia and Ortho take on Malleus.

~~~~~

Background: Livia's bio father is Lilia Vanrouge and Thea Vanrouge. She also has several adopted older siblings and many younger siblings adopted and biological. She was initially feared by the people of her home, being labeled as a demon child, but she never let it get to her because she always had her family and friends love/support. After some time she started to be called the Friendly Hybrid/The Draconia's beastie, being seen as a popular lady of her hometown.

She was relieved for her mothers food so she didn't have to eat her fathers, but was pleasantly surprised that NRC's food tasted much better than her mothers.

~~~~~

Trivia:

-Livia is stated to be based off of Maleficents thorns but is also hinted to have a bit if Disney princess in her character

-Her childhood friend/pen pals are Kalim and Azul, being the one who brought them together as childhood friends before Azul meets Jade and Floyd

-According to Rollo, Livia eats lots and lots of fruit rarely ever eating meat revealing that she's mostly vegan

-According to Silver, Livia is bad at cutting her hair so he, Golden or their mother take over that job

-Livia knows kickboxing and is a master at it but she tends to be too childish to remember to use it or she uses taekwondo more due to knowing more moves

-Like Silver, Livia attracts animals of all sizes and species, and they tend to be her source of protection/comfort if others aren't around

-According to Crowley, Livia might be part of Twisted Wonderland due to her thorn control power

-Livia has deadly allergies to Honey Lemon Tea, the reason why is currently unknown

-Livia is by far the only character who gets included in almost all the events, getting many cards but is the hardest to summon

-Other students have commented that she makes Lilia's expressions perfectly and that she could be his kid or sibling

-According to Lilia, he gave Livia her name because he knew others would be envious of how cherished she was by her loved ones

-Livia has Light Fae blood inside of her thanks to her mother, Thea, cause her mothers father was a light Fae

-Livia is the first and only student to get her Unique Magic during an Event(Star Gazer)

-Rook is Livia's mentor, and taught her how to hunt better

-It's been stated by Malleus that Livia tends to overstep her boundaries due to the fact that he doted on her a lot, back at their home, so he invaded her space at times

-Lilia helped Livia trick Sebek Zigvolt cause he barely had any candy, which caused the loudest scream ever to come from poor Sebek

-Due to having Light Fae blood, Livia has emotion sensing powers
