[txt] Meet me at the Sky-Strewn Isles.
「✧」 It's the sole message Aurelius writes Klaus on his birthday, and the only words he needs to say—there's no doubt that the seraphim will come, after all.
Still, it takes a while for Klaus to actually track him down, since Aurelius is not only above ground but above the clouds as well, just enough to catch the last glimpse of sunlight painting the fluffy white forms a soft rosy pink. He senses Klaus long before he sees him, and smiles at the seraphim that flies up in a puff of cumulus to appear only a feet away.
"Aurelius," Klaus begins, but his companion presses a finger to his lips with a quiet hush.
"Shh. You're just in time." Calmly, the blond turned the brunette by the shoulders to face the sunset. "Will you look there for me?"
And as Klaus watches, the sun itself seems to glow like a radiant jewel, dyeing the carpet of clouds at their feet a pure gold. Something glimmers in the sky as well; looking up, he sees tiny motes of glittering light—droplets of water reflecting the sun, falling upon him as a golden shower. A voice tickles by his ear; it's Aurelius narrating a story, warm hands still resting on his shoulders.
"When I was born, they say that all of Heaven was illuminated by my grace. I was to be the herald of a new era of angels...inheritor of their glorious Light."
He waved at the air; the motes of light condensed into a single mass and formed a shimmering, splendid crown.
"But I have little interest in such things. Rather, it was your birth that gave my existence meaning."
Beckoning at the illusory crown, he had it float to their side and rest on Klaus' head instead—almost weightless and comfortably cool. There was no need to remind Klaus of how cursed his own childhood had been, or how the world grew prejudiced against him simply because of the color of his eyes.
"All the blessings I had at my birth, I crown upon you this day. They are neither jewels nor fame nor power, but they are my promise to you—that you and no other are the one I see as my equal from our world."
He cannot see Klaus' expression from here, but the sight of the crown on his head is good enough. It makes him his at any rate—at least in Aurelius' eyes.
"You rose above your circumstances, and higher will you fly still—" he pauses abruptly, gauging their respective heights in realization. "—it seems my words are late. You've grown taller already."
Laughing softly, he runs almost-affectionate fingers through Klaus' hair.
"Happy Birthday, Anghelescu."

thinking about how the concept of "doing everything you can to save your best friend even if you have to risk your life and kill your way through it" was the very bare bones idea for hollow knight and auuugh AUUGHHHHHHHHH

The trial for Brianna Ghey’s killers started monday. There is lots of coverage of it revealing a wide range of disturbing and upsetting details. Keep tabs on this, check in with trans friends—especially those in the UK—and keep safe while this unfolds.

I realize this might be a slightly odd ask, but… Out of curiosity, what sort of foods do you think Machete would be fond of? And do you think they’d differ noticeably from when he was young vs once he’d grown older?
He's a fussy eater. He rarely eats for pleasure and dislikes being seen dining in company, but attends formal dinners and banquets if invited, since declining without a very good reason would be at best rude and at worst a devastating faux pas. He prefers fowl dishes over red meat and greatly dislikes sea food (which is just peachy since this is the Mediterranean). Pasta seems to be already a well established part of the cuisine at that point, maybe he's into that. For the most of his life he's eaten rather simple foods so he finds bland soups and broths very safe and comforting. Pomegranates are his fruit of choice, he doesn't have much of a sweet tooth but enjoys candied apricots and figs on occasion.
He's exceptionally bad at holding his liquor, and he can't stand the feelings of unpredictability, disorientation, unsafeness and potential loss of control that being intoxicated causes in him. Unfortunately, drinking plain water was very risky and uncommon, it was contaminated and unsanitary more often than not, especially in population centers. Generally the main drinks you'd consume through the day were diluted wine and beer/ale (this was the case for children as well). Machete tends to prefer wine, which he waters down heavily, and sometimes has it flavored with spices, herbs, honey or sugar. Having even a little bit of alcohol in the mix would kill at least a portion of the bacteria (not that the concept was known at the time, people believed many illnesses were caused by tainted air and foul smells, I mean fair enough, if your water is filthy it probably smells bad too).
(Fun fact, apparently Ancient Romans had more or less perfected the art of winemaking but by the Middle Ages a lot of the techniques had been lost. During the Renaissance wine was generally very low quality and the way it was fermented and stored (making the switch from sealed ceramic amphora of the Antiquity to those iconic wooden barrels) meant it would only stay good for a year at best and the taste would start to deteriorate within the first couple of months. Vintage wines weren't a thing, the best stuff was fresh. Apparently European wine was pretty bad for hundreds of years and would only start to improve again around 1800s. Or at least that's what I've gathered, I could be wrong, I'm not a wine expert).
Europe hadn't quite adopted tea yet and he narrowly missed the time coffee began to spread to his corner of the world (I bet he would've loved both of those, with the help of caffeine he could've been twice as much of a jittery sleepless wreck). I've read that people would distill sage and drink the resulting concoction with hot water to create this very tea-like minty drink, that sounds like something he'd like.

We must protect trans children. It speaks to a complete and utter failure of us as a society that a sixteen year old girl a goddamn CHILD can be stabbed to death for the “crime” of being trans. We have grown adults defending this with their full chest. We have repeatedly failed trans girls and trans children in general over and over and over again. It’s unacceptable.

brianna ghey deserved so much better.
she was an anxious, vulnerable, girl transitioning and was scared of going outside battling social anxiety and she was maliciously taken by two vile waste of oxygen. the uk justice system is utter shite. 20+ years for the brutal murder of a young girl? they'll be in their mid 30s by the time parole is due and can be released for good behaviour if the parole board see fit or feel justice has been served. vile vile vile. makes me sick to my stomach.

I realise I haven't talked much about trans stuff on here, but this is important.
WARNING: I will be talking about the murder of trans teen Brianna Ghey, so if that makes you uncomfortable then just don't read this
Brianna Ghey's killers- have finally been named as Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe. Jenkinson has been sentenced to 22 years in prison and Ratcliffe 20. The actual murder took place on the 12th February 2023. (I would write the short date but then Americans would think I meant the 2nd of November). At the time of the murder, Brianna's killers were both 15 (they're 16 now) and Brianna was 16. They had been close friends since they were 11. They had a kill list of 4 people. Unfortunately, Brianna made friends with Scarlett. This caused her to come to the top of their list. On the 11th February 2023, Brianna agreed to meet Scarlett in culcheth linear park. When she arrived, Eddie and Scarlett stabbed her at the same time. One of them stabbed her in the stomach and the other stabbed her in the back. They stabbed her more times afterwards before running away. At first, the media attempted to convince people that the motive for murder was Scarlett's serial killer obsession. Now, however, it has been understood that her murder was a transphobic hate crime. I remember hearing it mentioned on the radio once. We had a conversation that went something like this:
Me (having researched the case)- I've heard quite a lot about that case
My mum- yeah it's been on the news a lot
Sister- what happened?
Me- a girl called Brianna was killed for being trans
My mum- it turns out it's not actually to do with them being trans
I remember hearing wanting desperately to tell my mum that a) she should not be using they/them pronouns for a dead trans person who used she/her pronouns because it's kinda fucked up misgendering a dead girl and b) her death was because of transphobia. You can argue that it was because of a serial killer obsession as much as you like but there was a reason that she was at the top of their kill list and that reason is that she was trans. Trans people are dying. Don't you dare to try and feed me any of your transphobic bullshit. Things are not ok.
Thank you for reading to the end. To all of the non cis people reading this, I'm really proud of you and I love you. Keep going. It will get better <3

Not the Tories trying to push a bill that allow schools to out trans kids to their parents, something that directly contradict the 2010 Equality Act btw
