okay I think we should take inventory of what we learned about Marius's house.

In fact, the impression was one of comfortable messiness.

(i think the tiktok kids started calling ADHD clutter clustering or something LMAO marius de romanus cluster girlie i guess. thanks i hate it)

Here's some stuff that Marius had on his island!!!!!!!

stone benches

--queens.

--Renaissance people in doublets and leggings,

The statue of Athena Parthenos located in the Parthenon in Nashville, Tennessee, is a reconstruction by sculptor Alan LeQuire. The original statue of Athena Parthenos was the work of Phidias, it was made in the Chrysepantine technique, the name of which comes from the Greek words gold and elephant. This technique involved covering the wooden structure of the sculpture with ivory plates and gold. Interestingly, Athena was not only a statue, but also a treasury. From 40 to 50 talents of gold were used to make it, i.e. from 1744 to 2180 kilograms. This gold was in the form of plates that could be removed and used in the event of financial difficulties of the city. The statue has not survived to our times. We recreate its appearance based on ancient descriptions, images on medallions and medals, and marble Roman copies.

I doubt whether Phidias carved the serpent in front of the shield. Falsehood.

Disney Dreamland - Part 4: Fantasyland

(I had already posted about Mysteryland previously, which retroactively makes it Part 3. So we're moving on to the next part.)

Quite possibly the largest of the five lands, probably even beating out my mega-Adventureland. 

Small World Gardens

Located behind Small World, this sprawling area would transition into Storybook Town Square. Flower arrangements inspired by Keukenhof in the Netherlands. Similar to Paris’s Fantasyland, there would be a couple rivers running through the garden with lovely bridges to cross over them. 

Dumbo the Flying Elephant : The Masquerade Circus could be positioned near the Mysteryland/Fantasyland border so that the back of the tents could serve as a backdrop for the Dumbo ride, which would have its own little area in the gardens. I was at a loss on where else to place this ride, but I stubbornly wanted to include it as it is currently the only attraction to be found in all 6 existing castle parks and I didn't want to break that streak.

"Casey Jr. Circus Train": Doesn't have to specifically be Dumbo-themed, I just really want a cute novelty train to wind through the garden, with cute bridges to pass over the walkways and rivers.

“Swan Boats”: Paddle boats. I say “swan boats” but they don’t have to be just swans, but could also resemble other birds such as ducks, geese, and flamingos.

Symphony Gazebo: A gazebo in the garden for a live band to play classical music.

“Windmill snack stand”: I saw a picture of the Old Mill in Paris and thought it looked so charming. German pretzels. 

Storybook Town Square

The town follows in the footsteps of Ananheim’s 1983 overhaul with each building having its own unique look. Would feature a fluid mix of Bavarian and British architecture. The Bavarian half of the town on the west contains “Pinocchio Square” and the theater. The British half on the east contains Peter Pan, Little Nemo (even though Nemo is American), and Mr. Toad. A large fountain stands in the center. Cobblestones would pave the ground. I want this area to evoke the feeling of Paris’s Fantasyland as well as Efteling in the Netherlands . 

Pinocchio’s Daring Escape: Focuses more on escaping Pleasure Island. The only other thing I would change is have all the sets and animatronics appear to be carved out of wood, and have real clothes on the animatronics, for a more high-quality “hand made” look, the implication being the entire ride is a life-sized puppet show. The ride building along with the toy shop and restaurant form a smaller “Pinocchio Square”, which would include a smaller fountain with a statue of Pinocchio.

Geppetto’s Toy Shop: Would feature regular retail plush toys, as well as old fashioned toys like wooden marionettes and wind-ups, as well as cuckoo clocks. Christmas ornaments can also be purchased here.   

Pinocchio’s Pizza Place: Italian cuisine. Basically the Pinocchio Village Haus in Orlando, but with an alliterative name, and also some of the pizzas have toppings decorated to look like Pinocchio smiley faces. Quick service.  

Once Upon a Time Theatre: Hosts live indoor stage shows. While any show with Disney musical medleys is fine, I would much prefer original shows of rarely-featured stories, such as the other tales from the 1001 Arabian Nights, or a stage version of Disney's Return to Oz (which I personally love better as an Oz adaptation than MGM's movie; 2013's Oz the Great and Powerful was meh). Building design would be modeled after the new Fantasyland Forest Theatre in Tokyo.

“German restaurant”: Table service. 

Flight to Neverland: Would utilize the best aspects from each version of the ride. For example, I love that Shanghai’s queue is themed to a London park (Kensington Gardens?), and the chimneys in Paris’s loading dock blow smoke. The building facade would definitely have a functioning clock tower, in homage to Big Ben, but designed to fit with the small town aesthetic. The name change is simply because I feel like guests actually take on the role of the Darling children more than they do Peter.

Little Nemo in Slumberland: Little Nemo may not be a Disney IP, but it has such rich and vibrant imagery, I think it could work really well as a Disney ride. Not to mention it’s in the public domain, so there shouldn’t be any legal issues. In many ways it’s very similar to Peter Pan’s Flight, so maybe it could also help balance the wait times between the two rides. Guests take on the role of Nemo and ride flying beds (or at least, benches that look like beds, with a headboard and a footboard) that soar out the bedroom window. What follows are awe-inspiring, almost surreal, scenes of Slumberland. Things start to distort and become chaotic as the dream turns into a nightmare. Before anything too awful happens, guests “wake up” back in Nemo’s bedroom while the voice of Nemo’s mother scolds us for eating before bed. For visual reference, I recommend the Osamu Dezaki pilot film that was created during the movie’s development, though I obviously wouldn’t put the giant Sauron eye in the ride. 

Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride: Orlando’s former double-track ride, but with Anaheim’s building exterior. I never got to experience this ride and I really want to.

Ever After Castle

Here it is, the traditional centerpiece of all Disney parks, now the centerpiece of Fantasyland instead. I personally think of most Disney castles as tall but not wide. This castle would be slightly different from the traditional Disney castle by taking up more ground space. I hate to sound blasphemous, but for this castle I’m thinking of something similar to Shrek’s Far Far Away Castle in Universal Singapore but with more detailed ornate decorations like Paris’ castle, and the outer walls slightly covered in ivy vines for a more inviting, homely look. It would also stand on top of an elevated foundation, surrounded by a moat. There would be a large courtyard in front of the main castle building, with the carousel placed in the center of it. The gift shop and the meet-and-greet are each placed on either the west or east side of the courtyard. The north of the courtyard would feature the restaurant on the ground floor, the entrance to the underground boat ride, and stairs to the second floor attraction. 

Cinderella’s Carriage Carrousel: Regarding the visual design, I want it to look like the pumpkin carriage turned into a carousel. The canopy could include fiber optic fairy dust that lights up at night.

Be Our Guest Restaurant: French cuisine. I really like Tokyo’s Beauty and the Beast ride and would love to import it, but I respect the OLC’s exclusivity rights too much. I wondered if I could make it a combination ride and restaurant where each table is a ride vehicle, but I worried that would cause motion sickness which is a big no-no for a restaurant. At the very least, for my version I would love to have animatronics perform “Be Our Guest” every 30 minutes or so. Also, perhaps every hour, Belle and Beast performers would come out onto the dance floor and invite guests to waltz with them. Hot Take: The Grey Stuff is very obviously a savory food as it is clearly presented on a tray of hors d'oeuvres in the movie. But since the version currently offered in the parks has been imprinted in fans’ minds I think it’s best to offer two versions: Savory (chicken liver pate) as an appetizer and Sweet (cookies and cream) as a dessert.

Royal Meet-and-Greet: I personally do not care much for meet and greets, but for the people that do, here you can meet the Princesses, some of the Princes, as well as non-Princesses such as Giselle, Esmeralda, and TinkerBell. 

Kingdom Treasures gift shop: Based on the Tokyo shop of the same name. 

Crystal Caverns Canal: Boat ride underneath the castle. My first idea for this ride was basically Voyage to the Crystal Grotto from Shanghai, if all the character statues were built out of crystals and mosaic tiles. Then I realized, there’s probably too much IP already in the land, so I think there could be an original story about the crystals being a source of magic for the kingdom, and have scenes of wizards and fairies harvesting the crystals and creating experiments with them. Sort of a “tour of the workshop” kind of ride. I’m thinking of something with the same vibes as Dreamflight in Efteling. 

Merlin’s Library / Yen Sid’s Library: Located on the second floor of the castle. Originally I wanted a ride in a similar vein to Symbolica in Efteling, but with a story like that of Mystic Manor in Hong Kong. Then I wondered if it would be feasible to have a ride in the second story, so I’m also okay with this being a walkthrough attraction.  I feel either wizard could work here. Merlin is the more well-known wizard, but Yen Sid is easier to create an original backstory for. The basic gist of the attraction is you wander around a library with little vignettes of magical items operating on their own; a quill pen writing  by itself, a large spell book turning its own pages, floating books sorting themselves on the shelves, etc. There could even be some interactive elements, such as paintings that change, or opening a book can project a scene “coming to life” and “escaping” the book.

Fairytale Gardens: Walkthrough garden. There would be lovely little vignettes scattered throughout, including Snow White’s wishing well, a giant beanstalk, and The Sword in the Stone placed in a little alcove in the castle’s outer wall. This would be outside the courtyard. Maybe off to the side, to the west, wrapping around the outer castle wall, next to Shadowland Forest.

Shadowland Forest

Inspired by the Black Forest of Germany, this area features spookier attractions. West of the castle, shares the border with Mysteryland and the Gravity Falls area. There would be plenty of fir, spruce, and pine trees to make it feel like an actual forest, maybe even hide some of the attractions from view. 

Snow White’s Scary Adventures : Building facade would include the Evil Queen peeking out her window. I would place the building nearest to Storybook Town Square, at the edge of the forest.

“Gingerbread Factory Tour” : Based on my twisted Hansel and Gretel dark ride idea. Guests are given a tour of gingerbread golems at work (something like Tim Burton’s version of Wonka’s factory if it were more surreal and set in 1800s Germany), then are chased through obstacles, such as lollipop blades swinging from the walls, and peppermint stick darts, by Hansel and Gretel themselves. They’ve been very distrustful of adults after their parents abandoned them in the woods, and after the witch held them captive. They deem the guests harmless, and let them go but warn them to never come back.

Candy Carnival shop: The ride would exit into a shop themed to a candy carnival safe haven that Hansel and Gretel built for children lost in the woods. Would feature gingerbread treats and a nice selection of old-fashioned candies and German sweets. Guests can also watch bakers and candymakers at work. (Despite the name, there are no actual rides here, just animatronic decorations.)

Dragon Mountain: I wanted a unique “Mountain” ride, much like how the Matterhorn and Everest are unique to their parks. And dragons are cool. Originally this was going to be based on Maleficent, but now I’m leaning more towards an original story. And to put a neat spin on things, instead of a fire-breathing dragon, it would be a wintery ice dragon! I would also love it if the dragon was not portrayed as a mindless, violent beast hoarding treasure, but a parent protecting their child from intruders.

I initially wanted a sub-land recreating Halloween Town (with a spooky "Scare-ousel") but I felt Fantasyland was already overrun with too many IPs (and seven carousels is enough for one park), so here an area is set aside for seasonal Nightmare Before Christmas or Villains themed events, leaving the Haunted Mansion free during the holidays. 

Disney Dreamland Railroad Fantasyland station: Styled after the ruins of a medieval castle. Located on the edge of the forest near Ever After Castle, next to the entrance to Winter Village.

Wonderland

East of the castle, on the border with Create-It-Land. While there would be plenty of natural green, there would also be an abundant mix of giant pink, purple, and turquoise “wildlife”, as seen in the initial scrapped concept art for Tokyo’s expansion. Giant mushrooms in place of benches,  trees decorated with misleading signs, lamp posts that look like giant flowers. March Hare would definitely be included as a walk-around character alongside Hatter and Alice. People often forget the tea party took place at the Hare’s and mistakenly believe Hatter to be the host, and I will not stand for this March Hare erasure.  I would also have plenty of card soldiers roaming around, “patrolling” the area.

Down the Rabbit-Hole: An upside-down funhouse with wonky mirrors, and trick doors galore! A hall of doors in the end would lead into the maze. I was thinking there could probably also be a madhouse ride portion where guests can experience the room actually turning upside down; inspired by Villa Volta in Efteling. 

Wonderland Maze: As much as I like the Alice in Wonderland ride in Anaheim, I personally feel that Wonderland is a world that is best experienced up close and at your own pace, which a maze perfectly embodies. While the maze would obviously be themed to classic animated Alice like the Paris version, it would have different environments, like Shanghai’s Tim Burton version. First half of the maze would be a forest-like environment with giant plants and singing flowers. Second half would have rose bushes, fancy iron fences, and carved stone walls and statues for the Queen of Heart’s castle area. There would be a handful of tiny doors scattered throughout that guests can crawl through as shortcuts. Among the character statues scattered around the maze, I really want to include the Mock-Turtle and Gryphon, based on their designs from the Jell-O commercial, perhaps on a sandy beach shore by a small fountain / pond.

House of Cards Banquet Hall: Inspired by the Queen of Hearts Banquet Hall in Tokyo. Would follow the same eccentric and colorful design scheme, but I want it to look like a stone castle made out of cards. Definitely would have lovely stained glass windows. Desserts include Royal Heart Tarts. They could also come in souvenir cups and plates like the ones found in Tokyo.

Mad Tea Party: Would have a canopy roof to protect from the weather and direct sunlight, but I also wouldn’t mind a stained-glass version. Or even a canopy made of trees. Teacup designs would be a mix of various patterns from all versions (except Orlando’s, I do not care for the zigzag scribbles). Would also include the giant teapot with the Dormouse in the center. To help with queue waits, I’d even have two ride systems, much like how Orlando doubled their Dumbo ride. One could even be themed to the Hatter while the other to the March Hare.

March Hare’s tea shop: Would have the same building design as March Hare Refreshments in Paris. Would sell several varieties of tea, Unbirthday Cake, and macarons. Could also feature a long table with interactive tea things to play with, like Shanghai does at the end of its maze, and plenty of fancy chairs for photo-ops.

Mad Hatter’s hat shop: Hats, Mickey ears, and other headgear. To match the March Hare’s chimney ears, this building would resemble a large top hat. Would also feature hat racks for photo-ops, like Shanghai does at the end of its maze.

100 Acre Wood

East of Town Square, on the border with Create-It-Land. A tiny little area with tall trees providing shade, a lovely little Poohsticks Bridge over a small river, and a cozy corner for a meet-and-greet with Pooh and friends.

Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day: Basically the same as Pooh’s Hunny Hunt in Tokyo, which includes the giant book facade, and the same level of crafted detail and technical marvel throughout the ride, but with scenes added for the “rain, rain, rain”, and Pooh’s hero party as the ending. I would also use Anaheim’s zany color scheme for the Heffalumps and Woozles room with some added special effects for even more zaniness.  The ride’s name change is just to both set it apart from the other versions, and because I realized with the exception of Pooh stuck in the honey tree, all the iconic scenes in the ride come from Blustery Day.

Pooh Corner gift shop: Also utilizes the same English cottage look as Tokyo’s.

Hunny Smackerels snack stand: Hunny Pot cupcakes, honeycomb, honey ice cream, and a separate cart for honey popcorn in lovely Pooh-shaped popcorn buckets. It would be really cute if the stand is actually inside a giant tree trunk, with a dutch door counter window for guests to order from. 

The next three sub-lands would be behind Ever After Castle, outside the perimeter of the railroad tracks border. The entrance to Winter Village is between Shadowland Forest and the castle, while the entrance to Encanto Valley is between Wonderland and the castle. Mermaid Lagoon is directly behind the castle, between the other two sub-lands and only accessible through them. Small mountains would form berms for each sub-land. For reference, think of how Grizzly Gulch, Mystic Point, and Toy Story Land are arranged in Hong Kong.

Winter Village

Inspired by my Narnia theme park concept. This entire mini-land would be indoors, to have air-conditioning to sell the illusion of winter, and to preserve the artificial winter setup from the real-life elements outdoors. This mini-land would be round (roughly) so that the glass ceiling that lets in natural light can have a hexagonal snowflake design. At night time there’d be projections of Northern Lights. NOT Frozen themed. It’s a cute movie and all, but far overstayed its welcome before it was even released on DVD. Village would be a mix of Russian and Scandinavian architecture.  Can be used for a Santa Claus meet-and-greet during Christmas.

Enchanted Snow Palace: The planned but never built ride based on Hans Christian Andersen’s Snow Queen. The concept art looks leagues better than the final product of Frozen Ever After.

“Winter Sleigh Ride”: Ride through winter scenery in sleighs pulled by reindeer. Technically a dark ride, since the entire subland is indoors, but feels like an outdoor ride.

"Snowball Arcade": I really wanted something to simulate snowball fights, but without the chaos and mess. Here, guests can throw snowballs at targets to win plush prizes.

"Russian cafe": Russian pastries and snacks

"Ice skating rink": Free if you bring your own skates.

Mermaid Lagoon

A scaled-down version of the land in Tokyo DisneySea, without the playground and kiddie rides. Like DisneySea, it would have a lovely seashell castle facade, with the attractions indoors. Unlike DisneySea, there would be a small lake in front with a ship restaurant docked on it.

“Under the Sea”: NOT a retelling of the movie, but instead an original story that would take place some time pre-movie. Follows Ariel on one of her outings as she explores the sea looking for new treasures to add to her collection. Final scene could be of Ariel in her grotto after completing her latest trip, but feeling unsatisfied as she wistfully looks at her collection, while instrumentals for “Part Of Your World” softly play in the background. 

King Triton’s Concert Hall: Just like the one in Tokyo DisneySea, this would be a 360 degree show with Ariel “swimming” in midair above the audience, a giant animatronic Triton, performer puppets of Flounder and Sebastian, and other mixed special effects. 

Undersea Carousel: Fish carousel. Underwater lighting effects and blows bubbles as it spins. 

Ariel’s Grotto gift shop

Ship restaurant: Mediterranean seafood. I mean, it’s on a human ship that’s not technically in Triton’s Kingdom, so I think this gets a pass for serving fish. It could even be themed to Chef Louis for a laugh. 

“Nighttime Water Show”: Just spitballing an idea, maybe the lagoon could also be used for a nighttime water show a la Fantasmic / World of Color. The viewing area could be across the lagoon from Triton’s castle; the lights of Triton’s castle would coordinate with the show.

Encanto Valley

A lovely recreation of the valley, with Casita and a little village area for shops and Colombian dining, and plenty of lush greenery. 

La Casa Madrigal: I really like @rrdcooc’s idea for Casita as a walkthrough attraction! It’s so cool! Especially the ideas for Pepa and Luisa's rooms. I wouldn’t change much, aside from adding a few extra touches, such as an interactive flower wall in Isabela’s room that mimics guests’ silhouettes (like Daniel Rozin's "Mechanical Mirrors"), and maybe a couple themed flat rides to add capacity, such as a flowery swing spinner ride in Isabela’s room, and a tiny jungle animal carousel in Antonio’s room. In Dolores's room, guests can see sound waves (like that Magic School Bus episode), and Camilo's room can contain "mirrors" with different character models that mimic guests' movements in real time (like VTuber avatars). Also includes a gift shop selling “homemade” fashions and plush toys by Mirabel.

“Magic Realism Art Exhibit”: While I think the final movie is perfect, I would have loved it if Casita more closely resembled its concept art, which leaned much more heavily into magic realism. This attraction would be a walkthrough art exhibit full of giant optical illusion paintings that guests can pose in for photo-ops. For reference, I’m recalling the Trick Eye Museum, a temporary art exhibit I went to years ago in Hong Kong.

Encanto Sing-Along: I’m not always a huge fan of the “book report” shows they do in the Parks, but in this case, most of Encanto’s songs are so specific to the story that removing them from the context of the movie wouldn't work (especially in the case of fan favorite “We Don’t Talk About Bruno”).  The stage can also be used for original Colombian performances, as well as from neighboring Latin American countries.

Julieta’s Arepas: Food cart. These arepas may not heal you, but they’re magically delicious! 

Arabian Oasis (scrapped)

Before Encanto was released and became one of my favorite recent movies, my initial idea was to put in an Aladdin-themed area. Not an exact recreation of Agrabah, more like a broad strokes version of Agrabah in the same manner as Arabian Coast in Tokyo DisneySea.

Magic Carpet Ride: A suspension ride in a similar manner as Peter Pan’s Flight, using the carpet vehicles. Fly through the Agrabah marketplace, over the desert, and above the clouds. Ride music features instrumentals from “A Whole New World”.

Scheherazade’s Tales From the 1001 Nights: Stage show.

Flavors of Agrabah: Arabian / Middle-Eastern cuisine 

Cave of Wonders gift shop: I think the theming is appropriate considering guests are exchanging money for goods and not stealing them (ideally).

On the opposite side of the continent, the culture of Kāwnukujur’ tries to survive. Historically on Earth, hunter-gatherers are more healthier and successful than any agricultural societies. Other sutviprra of Tofur’akuiwer call them Nyzgöts for their smaller size, both because of their diet and islander ancestry. To protect themself from unfair adversaries, some tread into the mountain valleys, but lowland sutviprra become more organized and engineering, changing entire landscapes to prevent being overrun. The technology demandes unearthed new demands and issues - much like humans, sutviprra were not designed to be smart and tool-using, and while their anatomy supports them, it strains. Sutvipra have a very heavy head and bones and muscles of the spine do support it, it gets really tenuous, when they need to lift or drag something by their tentacles. An uncomfortable move may lead to serious injury and even paralysis from the neck down (though this term is inacceptable for sutviprra). Another weak point is the breathways, that go from the nostrils to all the front of the mussel, protected by nothing but superfluous cartilage. If you know, how an elephant would take a log - for sutviprra that may result in serious damage.

Kāwnukujur’ relationship to their disabled members is diverse, but generally they are preserved and respected. Some subsections raise their disabled status to the Kāsur’ - not necesseraly the ruling class, but those who are responsible for accounting of resources, jobs and plans for the community. While disabled kawār’ lose their ability to work, their ability to observe, count and think is put to good use and for it they are taken care of not just by their families, but by anyone in the town.

The accommodation for disability and agriculture - nōhākuj, though mutated and domesticated since the times from before Nyrrawās, makes it difficult to travel and escape the reading from the Wodiakukār’ - bigger sutviprra of the same region. The Kāwnukujur’ have to build some kind of fortifications, while accounting for inadequacies of their anatomy. After a lot of trial and error they figured out implements, comparable to the wheel in it’s significance - Kakukfurr’nys - mussel corset, a wooden or boney plate fastened to the head, protecting the breathing tube from the weight, allowing common workers to lift heavier weight. While very helpful, reducing traumatic incidents dramatically, this doesn’t solve the problem of spine connection - this requires more sophisticated construction of a much more complex structure. Luckily, another domesticated plant in their repertoire is a Koenys tree, which’s resin and fruits, after certain procedure, rubber-like substance is produced - Ojēnynonukujur. While still hot, the substance is poured into the wood-carved forms, gets cooled and utilized either like a glue or made into elastic belts and fastened onto the bone axes and the entire construction is fastened onto the back, providing additional force and dissipating stress - outside construction is more likely to break by the accidental design, saving the carrier. Operators of Ojēnynokujurran are more risky and yet more regarded, as traumas are still not averted completely.

Innovations in accommodation and demand for organization startet up so far unprecedented development of towns and even substantial cities. Mostly, such cities spring on the cities of the river Nōfur’nuch and Tonuch. Another river in the region, Rakāwardanuch is notorious as it is a natural border for Kāwnukujur’ from the Wodiakukār’, and therefore on it’s shores cities are closer to fortresses and kawār’ who live there are more militarized, even developing a woodwooven shield and a tricky martial art, relying on it.

BACKSTORY N' THE LIKE

Alright - let's just get this out of the way: Eliza is a bad person. She has no illusions otherwise, and neither do I. She's forged herself into what she is intentionally for the sake of her human descendants and Kindred everywhere - whether they thank her for it or not. Admittedly, though, that's likely the delusions of grandeur speaking. Comes free with the old age, I hear.

A well-liked secretary at the main H.Q. for Leighton General Electronics, a moderately successful electronics development corporation housed on America's West Coast in the 1960s, Eliza Doyle managed to convince her -then- husband and Assistant Manager to, gradually and over a set course of time, steal well over $30,000 ($300,000 in todays economy) by having small increments transferred out of the budgets of other projects and laundered via other means. Her husband, however, was a fool. He, very quickly in the grand scheme of things, became overzealous - transferring larger and larger chunks of change out of its original hands and into their pockets; making overly lavish purchases that couldn't be accounted for with the salaries that they were making.

The newest cars, colored television sets for every room of the house, the most expensive clothing, toys, and equipment for the baby on the way…

Despite her vehement protests behind closed doors, there was little to nothing that she actually could do to dissuade him from his course of action as, well, it was the '60s and every financial decision had to go through him first, anyhow. So she did what any self-respecting person would do: sit back and enjoy the riches while they lasted.

And last very long, it did not.

The IRS had the good graces to wait a few weeks after she'd given birth before making their move. Her husband was arrested and refused to testify against her in court, claiming that she was totally innocent of the charges levied against him. The two of them having had ample time to plan this out ahead of time, as well as having a child to take care of, Eliza willingly went along with it - doing a decent enough job at sticking to it to dissuade the government from sniffing too deeply into her personal affairs.

Claiming that they were just happy to have the misplaced funds back where it belonged, L.G.C's Board of Directors denied their right to press charges on the Doyle family.

Her husband was found dead a few months after that, but by then it was too late for anyone of importance to this particular tale to care.

The company's CEO, one Asher Leighton, had managed to piece together what had actually gone down in the months prior - the courts knew that Mr. Doyle was a fool, his coworkers knew that he was a fool, and Doyle himself - likely soon before his death- probably recognized that he was a fool himself - so it was unlikely that he had set up the scheme on his lonesome and, as far as anyone could tell, only the two of them gained anything from the whole charade. Admiring her gumption and the fact that it likely would've taken much longer for them to get noticed if it hadn't been for her husband's misgivings, Leighton managed to do two things:

1.) convince his sire to spare her life,

and

2.) allow him to take her for the Embrace, should she prove worthy of it.

He invited Eliza into his office and made her and offer she couldn't refuse: riches beyond her wildest dreams and a place by his side or for him to renege on the board's original willingness to look the other way and to present this 'newfound' evidence to the courts. She, as you can probably tell, chose the option that kept her out of prison.

Leighton wasn't wholly without perspective or humanity - he understood full well that she had a baby to take care of and was more than willing to let her do so. But motherhood isn't something particularly suited to the Kindred, so his second act of 'kindness' was to blood bind her, introducing her into the World of Darkness and the innerworkings of the Camarilla - slowly at first- as a Ghoul before she'd, by necessity, be forced to cut off all contact with everyone she'd ever known and cared for.

The next 18 years, in all honesty, doesn't particularly bare much worth talking about. Her introduction into the Ivory Tower wasn't exactly seamless, but honestly is it for anyone? She mostly spent her time balancing it between taking care of her child, learning the intricacies of her-soon-to-be-lineage, taking compliments from people commenting on the fact that she seemingly hadn't aged a day since giving birth, and committing the Traditions to heart. Leighton was also more than happy to bankroll any of the training he deemed necessary for her continued survival (firearms, melee) as well as her now-lavish lifestyle. He'd even come by her home on occasion, becoming known by her son as "Uncle Asher" - the slightly off-putting and dismissive, if outwardly kind, uncle who only came by after dinner had long-since been finished.

By 1979, Eliza had finally been Embraced into Clan Ventrue - much to the glee of her Sire and moderate approval of her Grandsire, who she'd only met once before the night of her Embrace. She spent the next 15 years intentionally staying on the wayside of things - allowing her sire to soak up the attention and praise while she lay dormant, gathering information on their friends and enemies alike - and keeping tabs on her son as he went through life without her.

That all changed when the Sabbat entered the picture.

Sabbat infiltrators having managed to kill her grandsire and the Prince, of whom she was on decent terms with, was enough to spur her into action and enter the limelight - forming a coterie whose sole purpose was to sniff out and then snuff out any and all Sabbat in the area - a task she'd gladly take up in Modern Nights if any wandering Sabbat Packs ever ventured into her domain. As it stood then, however, she and her Coterie put up more than a decent fight against them; enough for the Camarilla to brand them all as War Heroes once the domain had been made secure against their advances. She left the Coterie soon after that, though she still keeps tabs on some of them. The few she's lost to joining the Anarch Movement she tries not to think about.

She might have, with her Sire's nudging, diablerized someone somewhere in there. Who, save for her Coterie who were present at the hypothetical event, knows…

Don't get me wrong here, Eliza doesn't like the Camarilla; her time as a Ghoul was more than enough to make her dislike the institution and its archaic ideals heavily - but she does view them as an inherent necessity. She views the Ivory Tower as a whole as a necessary bulwark - keeping the existential threats (be they this so-called Second Inquisition, The Blackhand, or even their own Elders should they return from their Gehenna Crusade en masse…) contained wherever they may so appear for the protection of the Kine and Kindred alike, which means that she will defend it to the death even if she knows full well the vast majority of those who fill its ranks would not do the same for her. The privilege her lineage affords her within the Camarilla is not lost upon her either.

She doesn't see the Anarch Movement, as it currently operates, as being wholly capable of protecting its charges effectively - not without the bulk of resources available to the Cammies - and, thus, treats them as if they are short-sighted and arrogant children for taking the Camarilla's attention away for more pressing problems and doing petty things such as wanting to be treated fairly and equitably… The gall… (/s)

Misc.

I like to imagine that she wore modified Riot Gear (i.e. removing all of the identifiable logos on it) armor when engaging in skirmishes with the Sabbat. She 100% stole this idea from them.

I should provably have clarified: her blood binding ended when she was Embraced. Leighton upheld his end of the bargain in totality, though not wholly out of altruism.

"Scene Queen?" I can hear you asking. She stakes out nightclubs for people, likely college students, to pamper. No such luck forming a herd yet.

What funding of hers doesn't go towards maintaining her Haven and paying her employees (the security detail at her complex) goes directly towards her Great Granddaughters, who are her touchstones. She has not met them in person, but she does keep tabs on them to make sure they're not in any danger or anything.

She is 5'2'' (157 cm)

Wears a tailored beige trench coat on top of a button-up shirt most days

Were I to ever play her, her only goal (minus the bootlicking, obviously) would be to Sire someone. Maybe one of her Kine descendants...

Elephant Pond is used to be a city in the past since like the 9th century or year A.D 802. Based on its name, we expected that it has water there. My friends even packed extra clothes to change. But unfortunately, it’s a dry season. There was no a single drop of water (goddammit). Luckily, it is located in the forest so it wasn’t hot. There are lots of huge statue like elephant, lion, frog and some unknown animals maybe a snake or mouse. It was like 7 km from the top of the mountain to the pond. Don’t get me start with the road, oh god as bad as ones to the cave. It was very bumpy, full of sand and sloppy. But it’s worth it (i guess)

The picnic side where we had our lunch on the wooden bed.

A very useful water puddle (???) across the road. It cooled down our motorcycles.

All About the Lake Lindsey Dinosaur

Most people who have traveled Lake Lindsey Road east of US 41 notice half of a dinosaur, life-sized, on the north side of the road. I have often asked people if they know where Lake Lindsey is. Most look confused and respond, “maybe…” I ask them if they remember the dinosaur and suddenly their eyes light up. “I’ve seen that.” “Weirdest thing ever.” “What happened?” “Why doesn’t someone finish it?” are common responses. Locals tell the story of August Herwede and his infamous half-Brontosaur that my oldest son calls “Headley.” August was a man with a mission who created his art for enjoyment. What do you do with Half a Dinosaur? Kevin Eaton grew up in Pasco County – Hudson in fact. He lives adjacent to the dinosaur and thought something should be done with the legendary beast. “For fifty years, this dinosaur sat untouched,” Kevin told me. “I thought something should be done with it. It would be nice if someone would finish the front half – if they know how.” “I’ve had people from Australia, England, Sweden, and all over stop for pictures with the dinosaur. I love to see parents bring their children for pictures. Sometimes we help children get in its belly for a picture,” Kevin said. “It brings me a lot of joy to see how much people appreciate this piece of local history.” Kevin’s brother, Steven Eaton actually owns the dinosaur. He lives on five acres behind and up the hill a bit. Steps were built into the tail of the half-finished Brontosaurus on Lake Lindsey Road by its creator, August Herwede. Image by Diane Bedard. Meeting Headley I walk over to August Herwede’s unfinished masterpiece and realize there is a hole in the underbelly where a ladder can be inserted to climb inside. “There are steps going down the tail,” Kevin tells me. “This is one well-made dinosaur!” Where did the Lake Lindsey Dinosaur Come From? August Herwede emigrated to the U.S. from Volkmarsen, Germany in 1924. He was a painter, a farmer, a stained-glass window maker for churches, and an interior designer who came to Florida’s Nature Coast in 1951. August built a home for himself and his wife, Augusta, on an acre of land along Lake Lindsay Road. August wanted to build an elephant, but his wife wouldn’t let him. In 1964, she passed away and he began creating his first pachyderm from plaster with canvas ears that would flap in the breeze. It was about five feet, according to Michael Marzella, a St. Petersburg Times reporter in the 1970s. A 1969 Tampa Tribune story with photos by Jim Twitty shows some of August Herweide's menagerie. There Was a Whole Zoo Locals, like David Ward, remember multiple dinosaurs, an elephant, a wooly mammoth and more. “We would look at the creatures and enjoy the scenes that were created,” David reminisced with me. “I remember a Tyrannosaurus Rex, one of those spiny dinosaurs, a Stegosaurus, and a duck-billed one in a scene under Oak trees with Spanish moss hanging down. It was kind of spooky.” In fact, August Herwede constructed 30-plus life-sized creatures, from a lion family to dinosaurs, and a 12-foot woolly mammoth with long curving tusks and tufted ‘hair’ from concrete, wood, and wire in two years! In the mid-1970s, there were picnic tables, a totem pole, and a sign that read “See the Animals” amongst them on the acre lot that was his home. August Herweide in his Brontosaurus while he was constructing his swan song by Mike Woodfin. Making the Brontosaurus In 1966, he began construction of his masterpiece: the Brontosaurus. This amazing statue would be built to scale, nearly sixty feet long and thirty feet tall! Like the rest of his prehistoric replicas, August’s Brontosaurus would be crafted on a wooden frame with a wire-reinforced concrete shell. It would be hollow, with access to the inside from a hole in the beast’s belly. He dug a pit to be its swamp home at the curve on State Road 476 and began construction. August was working on the project when he fell from the scaffolding and broke both of his legs. His neighbor found him several hours later and took him to the hospital. "The sad part about it is the big one he never finished," said Mrs. William Herwede, his daughter-in-law who lived in Valley Stream, N.Y. "He was going to make the whole history of the animal inside, but when he broke both legs, he knew he couldn't finish them and had no will to live.” August Herwede died from a fall while constructing his iconic Brontosaur. He was buried in the Lake Lindsey Cemetery. Image from Find a Grave. She and her husband inherited the property after August Herwede died, and they tried to maintain the statuary, but weather and vandals took their toll. A drunk driver ran into the totem pole, Cypress Gardens purchased the leopard snagging a fish, a trailer park bought the lion family, and Saint Petersburg insurance executive, Charles Lenz, purchased nine of them for a miniature golf course at his Homosassa campground. By 1984, there were only seven pieces left. Some in major disrepair. Finally, each of August’s creations was removed, except the back half of the Brontosaurus who has stood silently for nearly sixty years, heralding travelers along State Road 476, also known as Lake Lindsey Road. Many have exclaimed, "Was that a headless dinosaur?" And now you know why it's there. Pre-history in a Concrete Legacy by Michael Marzella, published Sept. 23, 1976, in the St. Petersburg Times.

I am LOVING the furniture brackets!! If it's not too much work, coule you maybe include what games the items are from/in? (Dw about it if it's too much though, the brackets themselves are probably very time consuming already)

I think maybe it is too much work but I'll list all the ones I know without googling here for you. I'm extremely familiar with NH's and NL's catalogue, and I mostly know which items are new to those games, but the older games I'm less sure about. if you wanna know a specific one, nookipedia is pretty good. I pulled all the images I'm using for the NL items from there

for the stand alone items, all of them except balloon dog, snail clock and lovely phone are available in NH

this isn't true 100% of the time, but here is a gist oh how items have progressed through the games:

the original game was developed for N64, and was ported to gamecube in the west. as a result these items have like 6 polygons and needed to be remade for the jump to DS. I believe most items made it to the DS, but I definitely know of a few that didn't make it (rip lovely stereo).

from DS to Wii, many items were ported directly as they were & use the same models (the ones with round parts were mostly remade though), so most items returned. same thing from Wii to 3DS, the 3DS has a tiny screen so the items could be reused again and most items returned. at this point though you can start to really tell the difference between the new and old furniture, since the new stuff has so much more detail and is generally less boxy

from 3DS to Switch EVERY item had to be remade. NH is an HD game and you can't be using models from 2005. as a result, less than half of the items in NL made it to NH (682 out of 1764) and many that did return look noticeably different

anyways here's a list of the tournament items and sets and where they're from to the best of my knowledge:

Items:

froggy chair - all games

leo sculpture - NH, NL (but it was stone and had glowing eyes in NL)

balloon dog lamp - NL

dreamy wall rack - NH

soft serve lamp - I think all games? definitely NH and NL, but I think it's one of those classic forever items

cherry-blossom pond stone - NH

rocket lamp - all games, but it was called lava lamp in every game except NH

bathtub with yuzu - NH

plain party lights arch - NH

cinnamoroll sofa - NH, NL

resetti model - I think all games?? I think it's been the groundhog day item in every game. maybe not WW since it didn't have real holidays

rattan towel basket - NH

cherry blossom branches - NH

sets:

I'm gonna skip any "ACNH redesigns" since obviously they're only in ACNH. I don't consider any sets other than the sanrio sets and the mermaid set to be truly the same between NH and NL (all 7 of those sets were new to NL, so NH has NO SETS that are the same from older games)
