Honestly feel like the only other person that can match Ghost's level of cryptid energy would be Roach.

He just looks like the most unsuspecting lil dude with his basic ass military uniform, but deep down he is an incomprehensible being made entirely of feral impulses

#playing rock paper scissors with yourself while being chased unarmed by an entire militia on a timer is NOT normal behaviour #and i think these two would only amplify the other's obscurity #ghost watching roach skip along the favelas without a care in the world: this guy's fucking weird. im in love #add soap in the mix and now you have three unstoppable forces #ghost and roach are enigmatic but on opposite sides of the spectrum which is why they make such a good pair imo #gary roach sanderson #simon ghost riley #ghostroach #ghost x roach #call of duty #cod #call of duty modern warfare #mw2 #crack #box of words #box of posts

Alex Forbes will never forget how much he yearned to hold Nigel Colbie on their wedding night. He wanted to taste his skin, temptation thumping in his veins, his hands were itching to pin him down, see his whole weight pressure the life off of Nigel's wrists, wanting to see the lines he'd leave on his skin, the way his parched throat is seeking his heavenly waters: He felt like a lecherous teenage boy. But for all he knows, he cannot wait to be one with his beloved Maraclea.

#murderous intent #like minds 2006 #like minds #alex forbes #nigel colbie #nigel colbie x alex forbes #alex forbes x nigel colbie #Alex felt so stupid the whole day. He never expected for himself to be so enamoured by an enigmatic boy. #Heck. He never expected to run away from the ONLY world he's ever known just to be with Nigel Colbie. #Away from everyone. Away from harm. NO ONE will ever bother them. No one will make Nigel Colbie pay for his grievances against his parents. #Nor Susan. #and Alex wouldn't be orchestrized by his father's rules and expectations anymore. Wouldn't be reminded of the hell hole he was once in. #Their old life was nothing but a husk of what it once was. #Nothing more. #So. When the night had settled in. The time struck at 12MN. Alex Forbes was restless. #He will never know what to do the moment Nigel will call out for him. Purr his name. chant it like an oath. He'd probably give in. #But when that moment came. He didn't expect for Nigel Colbie to wear something from something they've left behind. #Helen's nightgown. That night at the Colbie's. It was in pristine condition. except from the hole in the middle. #Nigel Colbie is a man filled with surprises. he doesn't know how he procured his deceased Mother's night gown but the emotions in him -> #prevented him from thinking straight. He's irritated. Confused. aroused: It's a cacophony of emotions he'll never ever be able to name. #Nigel's reason? He wanted Alex to realize that this is what Susan would've done for him. pliant and obedient. #Of course I won't make this long but I'm pretty sure Nigel enjoyed riling Alex up. and Alex had disposed of the nightgown afterwards. #goodbye #THIS IS OOC SO PLEASE EXCUSE ME #I WAS VIBIN

Love Itself

Two hearts Two worlds apart What were the odds for the gods to bring forth from South to North two wandering souls as this lifetime unfolds?

Yet, there we were Two perfect strangers of two faraway stars Yet, here we are

As I think of you I know this much is true: Life itself is a separate course destined by karmic force Yet, love itself, it crept out of nowhere Love itself was there

And it is clear that love is here Life is enigmatic Yet love itself is perfect Just as our lips melt into a perfect kiss.

Welcome to Luminaera

Luminaera is a vibrant coastal metropolis, sprawling along the edge of the cerulean Mirasol Sea. Known for its glittering skyline, the city is a tapestry of innovation and tradition, where futuristic architecture intermingles with historical quarters that whisper tales of the past. The heart of the city is the Luminous Bay, a bustling harbor by day and a neon-lit spectacle by night, reflecting the city's name which means "era of light."

The streets of Luminaera are lined with lush greenery, with vertical gardens scaling the sides of glass towers, and eco-pods floating on the waterways that crisscross the urban landscape. The city is a hub for artists and tech visionaries alike, hosting cultural festivals that showcase light installations, holographic art, and music that resonates through the soul of the city.

Beyond the high-energy urban center lies the serene Eden Park, a vast expanse of natural beauty that offers a tranquil escape from the city's pulsing rhythm. Here, locals and tourists alike can wander through botanical gardens, meditate by lotus ponds, or explore the interactive outdoor exhibits that blend nature with immersive art.

Luminaera is not just a place but a living, breathing entity, a beacon of progress and a sanctuary of peace, ever glowing under the watchful gaze of the Lighthouse of Infinity, an iconic structure that symbolizes the city's endless pursuit of light and knowledge.

Some of the notable residents of Luminaera:

Elara

Once upon a twilight in Luminaera, as the sky painted itself with the dusky blush of sunset and the city lights began their nightly flirtation with the darkening horizon, there wandered a girl whose eyes mirrored the very soul of the metropolis.

Her name was Elara, a spritely figure cloaked in a hoodie as enigmatic as the half-veiled stars above. Luminaera was her canvas, the bustling streets her gallery, and within her gaze dwelt a fierce determination to capture a fleeting moment that begged to be etched into eternity.

Sundown was the bewitchingly unruly hour when the historical quarters sang harmoniously with the ultra-modern skyscrapers. It was the perfect time for her—the street artist whose murals were whispered about, marveled at, sought after, yet remained as elusive as the artist herself.

A curious emblem adorned her hoodie, a little star creature with a mischievous grin, almost as if it knew secrets of the city that were hidden to all but the most inquisitive souls. Elara was more than just curious, she was a creative vortex, a force that altered the visual heartbeat of the city one clandestine mural at a time.

This evening, Elara's target was the stark wall of an ancient library nestled against the backdrop of Luminaera’s newest quantum data center. With a spray can as her wand and the wall as her spellbook, she conjured color and chaos, abstract lines that distilled the essence of Luminaera's duality; tradition meeting innovation, nature colliding with technology, whispers of ancient tales flowing into streams of cybernetic consciousness.

As the night deepened, her artwork came alive, pulsing with an energy that echoed the very lifeblood of Luminaera. It was not just a mural but a portal of sorts, a window that granted passerby a glimpse into the city’s multifaceted soul.

By morning, Elara vanished into the city's heart, leaving behind her latest masterpiece—a constellation of colors and forms that captivated and confounded. She was the spirit of Luminaera itself; a spectral artist bridging old worlds and new, night and day, in the dance of shadows and light.

And as the city awoke to the gift that graced its ancient walls, somewhere in the tangled alleyways, Elara smiled, her eyes filled with the hues of her next dream, the next corner of Luminaera to be touched by her unseen brush.

Luminaera whispered its thanks through the leaves of its urban gardens and breathed a sigh of contentment as art merged with life in a ceaseless embrace. Mira

In the bustling metropolis of Luminaera, where the ancient cobblestones met with the sleek glass of the aspirant tech giants, there roamed a girl whose eyes held a story as enigmatic as the city itself. Let's call her Mira - a burst of life and color against the chrome and neon backdrop, with hair that danced like the shadows at dusk and a jacket that told tales in vivid patches and stitches.

She strolled through the Verve District, where the scent of seawater mingled with the sizzle of street food, her hoodie adorned with animated characters that seemed to echo her every mood. These characters weren't just decor; they represented the subculture of Luminaera - a testament to the fusion of simplicity and the digital age, a soft imprint of nostalgia on the ever-forward march of progress.

Mira's eyes twinkled with mischief as she paused by a street performer, a robot that painted portraits with strokes that could outmatch the sea's own rhythm. With a deft hand, she dropped a token into the collection hat, a silent pact of appreciation for art in all its forms.

It was at that moment, between the serenity of the waves crashing against the harbor walls and the cacophony of a city that never truly sleeps, that she felt a familiar vibration from her pocket. A message from an old friend: "Meet me at The Crux. It's time." The Crux, an antiquated arcade that clung to the heartstrings of Luminaera's youth, was a harbor for dreamers and a haven for those seeking solace from the gleam of too much future too fast.

With a soft sigh that spoke volumes of the stories locked within her, Mira turned on her heel, her shoes lighting up with each step - a personal constellation guiding her to the next chapter of her adventure. As she ventured towards The Crux, each step seemed to echo with the heartbeat of Luminaera itself - a symphony of old and new, of memories cherished and moments yet to be seized.

And there, beneath the jumble of neon signs and the glow of vintage arcade machines, Mira found her friend, her co-conspirator in a world teetering on the edge of tomorrow. Together, they stood as the avatars of a city that taught them what it means to be vibrant, to be alive - Luminaera, the jewel by the sea, where every street could tell a different story, and every face held a new world within their gaze.

Echo

In the sprawling, neon-drenched alleyways of Luminaera, where the whisper of the future races through the cobblestones underfoot, I met a girl with auburn-laced tendrils and eyes holding centuries worth of wisdom.

She was an enigma, a fusion of the city's dichotomy. Her hoodie, a relic of old-world comfort, contrasted sharply against the holographic graffiti tags that adorned the ancient brick walls. On her chest, two whimsical creatures danced, seeming out of step with the palpable rush of technology around us—yet fitting perfectly with the serene calm she exuded.

They called her Echo, for her presence reverberated through the streets like the soft hum of the tide against Luminaera's glittering shores. Some say she descended from the great clock tower at the heart of the city, a guardian to the whispered secrets and unspoken dreams of those who tread these gleaming paths.

Despite the constant thrum of life—drones above us mapping constellations, AI artists painting stories in the air—Echo moved with a grace that seemed to slow time itself, beguiling and tranquil. I followed her through a labyrinth where old met new; steam rose from vendor carts selling traditional recipes next to a cafe crafting beverages from distilled starlight.

The story of the day unfolded without words, as if we were characters in a silent film scored only by the heartbeat of the city. She led me to a garden hidden between skyscrapers, a verdant escape where mechanical birds sang ancient songs, and luminescent flowers swayed to an unseen breeze.

As dusk settled, the city transforming before our eyes, Echo turned, offering a small smile that promised tales of adventure. In the midst of this ever-changing city, somehow, it was her—the girl with the soulful gaze and the hoodie of solitude—who seemed the most out of time and yet the most at home.

And as quickly as she appeared, melting back into the shadows between the old and new, she left an imprint, a reminder that even in a city reaching for tomorrow, there are timeless stories waiting to be told.

TSUKI GENSHIN AU

tsuki has ties to the moon sisters, and came from a time before the archons. a descendant, that fell when the carriage tipped-- and fell from the heavens. a fragment maybe, of whatever celestial body had fallen and created the chasm. and it's there tsuki would sleep for thousands upon thousands of years. until the skyfrost nail is removed; waking tsuki. who then climbs out to a current day teyvat.

deep down, they did wish to leave their home at the lunar palace. and got their wish when the calamity occurred.

they are unaware of the fate of the sisters, until told.

tsuki does not have, and likely will never have, a vision. they have their own magic which is unique to them. though as they adjust to the new world, they likely play as if they do have one. and some of what they can do seems to be hydro. though they do not have the same weaknesses and strengths a hydro bearer might have.

their opinion of the archons isn't negative per se, but it isn't positive either. the same kind of goes for the fatui. they really don't have any opinion.

and yes of course, they still love & admire the ocean. tsuki will never not love the sea, and is still drawn to it.

#muse: tsuki / 🐇 #about / headcanons. / 🍁 #gives caeli a big wet kISS #the moon sisters idea was so #BIG BRAINED OF U #anyway #ik its small but #this is like............the majority #theyre v enigmatic #and ethereal #and extremely out of touch with the world #archon war??? #what??? #idk what that is

𝐂𝐗𝐈𝐕. The second apocalypse, Fortuna and the Neohuman Project.

On the second Apocalypse.

It's important to describe what exactly makes an apocalypse be considered such and not described by other name (like cataclysm) if both are events harmful to Teyvat itself and the living beings that inhabit it. For this, I will make a comparison between Phanes' arrival to Teyvat and the Second Who Came + Nibelung descent with forbidden knowledge.

In the former, although it's unquestionable that the war waged between Phanes and whoever fought alongside him (if any), and the Dragon Sovereigns must've scarred Teyvat one way or another (we know from Sapientia Oramasdis II about the consequences it would take if Apep passed away by releasing all the Dendro energy within it as well as we know that some dragons perished in the combat be it during the first, the second fight when Nibelung brought forbidden knowledge and the Second Who Came arrived or in both, which must've led to consequences on a planetary level), it isn't stated to be in a relevant way worth mentioning. Here, the outcome was clear: the winner would inherit the right to reshape the world, whereas the loser would be subdued. Such was the dynamic between Phanes as the former and the Sovereign Dragons as the latter, and so Teyvat was recreated which caused it more hospitable for the soon-to-be created humans after that.

In the latter, however, it's different. Not only the fact that Nibelung, in all his wish to dethrone Phanes and the Saints, brought forbidden knowledge worsened matters both to himself, his fellow dragons and everything else— but the Second Who Came's presence as well made it so that the entirety of Teyvat as a planet was endangered and it ran the risk of being dying. Not the living beings that inhabit it alone, but the world in itself too. Among the consequences that have been stated, it's known that: forests turned into sand in Sumeru, there was an immense flood that drowned the unified civilization (Enkanomiya fell into an extraplanar conjunction point between the Human, Light and Void realms) and a breakthrough of the plague brought to this world (presumably Abyss energy-related). In order to mend this, Phanes dropped sapphire nails to prevent the world from crumbling so these would purify the land, thus destroying adjacent civilization as an undesired side-effect to his determination to protect Teyvat. Because of the importance of events that befell and what nearly caused to the world, this historical event would be more accurate to point as an apocalypse versus the former discord.

Given everything we've learned about the Cataclysm, even if one could argue that its relevance and what it caused to the world was negative and harmful (which it was), it wasn't on the same level as the apocalypse.

Although it has been teased before that in Snezhnaya it's known that the world will face a new Long Night (or at least among the Fatui, Harbingers and the Tsaritsa) and in René's notes that a catastrophe must be avoided at all costs, this patch of Fontaine shed more light onto what that means: the coming of a second apocalypse. An apocalypse described as a world where no more flowers will grow, a disaster defined for seeing a pool of blood past one's ankles, a world in which after a few hundred years, all birthing waters will dry up and after that, the world will be devoid of light with destroyed civilizations and a shattered sky that can be seen via two methods: through the Book of Revealing or the Looking Glass.

Whatever will lead Teyvat to this state remains unknown, but the Abyss Order's intentions are tellers of an outcome for the world far from desirable given their determination to plunge the whole world to darkness and overthrow Celestia with the power of the Abyss. In essence, the Abyss Order may not be any different than Celestia is due to their determination to potentially change the threads of fate in a similar fashion as there seems to be a divine control over fate that not all gods have access (the Archons) for their own purposes. Even if forbidden knowledge has been erased, there is still a latent star-devouring darkness that endangers Teyvat. Tsaritsa's involvement alongside her Fatui and Harbingers may also lead to undesirable consequences that could lead the world to its downfall, or Celestia's awakening and action may assist in that as well. Perhaps it's all three deeds at once.

This second apocalypse has been prophesied by René de Petrichor and Jakob Ingold, which is not an unlikely thing to happen. A relatively recent element, the Sign of Apaosha, is said to reflect the Abyss and corrupt the land around it (the sign), and it's believed to be a reflection of the "reality" beyond Teyvat's skies. Given that as per René's notes it's known that research on the Abyss [energy] was being conducted as well as other future research that I'll mention briefly, it's not impossible to have witnessed a catastrophe to come. Moreover, according to the Book of Revealing written by René, it's implied that other ancient civilizations might've been aware of this fact (at least the one of the Nameless City or underground palace in the depths of the Chasm, given that these ruins are displayed in the prophetic vision of the future).

On Fortuna.

Fortuna [that which happens without design, remarkable occurrence] (or world-formula, as termed by René) is described as the phenomenon that takes place when a civilization is destroyed and a new one is born from its ashes. Besides prophesying a second apocalypse to come in centuries (since 400 years ago), calculations made in regards of this subject reflect the outcome that no new civilizations will be born unless new variables are introduced "from outside the system". This would increase the magnitude of this catastrophe bound to come.

On the Neohuman Project.

This is the chosen variable by René de Petrichor in order to face the incoming crisis, or better said, ensure humanity's survival in the context that this apocalypse will take place no matter what, hence Teyvat will become an inhospitable world incompatible with life. Starting first with himself and then with Jakob Ingold, René's discoveries led him to learn that the composition of their bodies (changed as a result of these experiments) are closer to that of the Abyss and the Khvarena, paradoxical as it may be. Their bodies don't need nourishment like normal humans do and they possess terrifying self-recovery properties (fact-checked by extirpating ingrown organs close to vocal chords [albeit not for this purpose] and watching them regrow in a matter of few days) and in order to grow stronger, these bodies are nourished with the blood of fell beasts of the Abyss (Elynas in Jakob's case, albeit it was discovered that the Crimson Agate of Dragonspine and Elynas' blood share the same properties). In the present day, Jakob, in the body of an adult human, has been seen taking the form of an Iniquitous Baptist.

This project is seen as a manner of human transcendence in order to adapt to the hostile world that Teyvat will become if the prophecy becomes true. When the neohuman project proved to be difficult and a failure on a new experiment, a new variable has been introduced. Experiments were conducted in more humans and, albeit anti-intellectual and counter-intuitive, it's presumed that in order to transcend one's physical form and personality must be shed and lost and thus a gestalt where memories and other human souls are merged together similar to the principle of merging Oceanids into one by returning to the primordial waters. Ancients (presumably those of the Nameless City) have been already successful in this in the past. René, as the first subject in more modern times (400 years ago), was successful and he was able to see the memories of those human subjects that took part in this project.
