#I was a bit worried there😅

[ember-not-amber]

I’m going absolutely insane over the last episode of Manifest.

I’m kinda sad that Grace, Cal, Olive, and Jared don’t remember what happened bc now everyone who returned from the plane are the only ones who know and they’ll carry the memory of those 5 1/2 years with them forever.

Also Vance is going to be investigating the disappearance of the 11 passengers who failed judgement and I’m so curious to see how that’s going to turn out, I’d LOVE to read some good fanfic about that!

It was hella weird when TJ came back and ran into Olive cuz she’s back to being a little girl and he’s like, a high school graduate or college student? But I breathed a sigh of relief when a girl his age was introduced to him as a love interest.

#netflix manifest #manifest #flight 828 #828 #like good thing he wasn’t gonna wait till Olive was legal to date her #I was a bit worried there😅 #I feel like it would be more realistic for him to take some time to mourn his relationship with her before he starts over with someone new #s4 part 2 #manifest nbc #nbc manifest #manifest netflix #original post

your f/o would remember and always consider your dietary needs, btw. they care about you, they don't want you to eat anything that could make you sick or have you feeling out of sorts. maybe you have a very specific eating schedule, or can't eat out at many places, or often need to ask about ingredients or food prep (they'll ask for you, if you want them to!), whatever it is, it's okay. there is nothing burdensome to them about making sure you're healthy and happy and eating well ❤️

#self indulgent post time LOL #i never really worry about my vegetarianism being a 'problem' (tho some f/os would def tease me abt it 😅) #but i have so much stuff i cant handle when it comes to food that it does make eating a bit complicated 🧍‍♀️ #i just like to think it wouldnt bother or annoy them and theyd be understanding with me ❤️ #food mention #tw food #selfshipping #selfship imagines #selfship positivity #safeshipping #safeship #f/o imagines #caitiechat #imagines 💭

A while ago, when I got into the NiGHTS fandom, I offered my own take on Selph- or as I called them, Mirrage. However, that was while I was still new to posting about my own headcannons, storytelling and character design (not that I'm an expert now). Looking back, I don't like how I made the post or described Mirrage's design too much. So here is my reprised post about;

Selph Mirrage the Forgotten

Story

As we all know, Wizeman was not from the world of dreams. A human with an evil heart trapped in a world where creation is life, it was only inevitable what he'd choose to do. However, as a human who didn't hold any one of the ideya, Wizeman needed to find a way to gain more power. Enough to overthrow the guardians and the firsts and create his own empire. The only thing he could do was to use his own black heart to create a whole new entity. One that would obey his command alone, and could deliver him the essence of the people of the night dimension.

That was the cycle that Mirrage was born. The first false nightmaren.

Mirrage was as cunning and cruel as Wizeman himself was. Perhaps even more so. Being created from greed for power and an insatiable lust, the porcelain nightmaren used their power of reflection and their various abilities to destroy all that were obstacles in their masters path. They had to start little by little, feasting on little pixies and beasts before they were strong enough to destroy a guardian. Every defeat, they would give Wizeman the essence of the fallen, and he would grow more unrecognizable and twisted. Though it never seemed to bother Mirrage, and they continued to do as they were told. Until, one fateful cycle, Wizeman became the tyrant we all know, and was able to take control of half of the night dimension; Nightmare.

Mirrage was meant to be his right and left hand. His sword and shield. When Wizeman took the throne, he made Mirrage his second in command, and even general to his growing army, giving Mirrage the luxury of a true first-class nightmaren. Though not out of respect. He knew Mirrage had to have the same desires he held, being born from his own heart. So this was meant to placate the mirror 'maren, until he could find a way to either break Mirrage down or destroy them.

His suspicions were correct, as Mirrage had never been truly loyal to the tyrant. Not even at the beginning. Every celestial and lunar they killed, they took some of the guardians' power for themselves, which prompted them to believe that not only Wizeman wasn't as powerful as he thought, but they could overthrow him themselves and take what they believed was rightfully theirs. After so long of playing the thankless servant, they were ready to face their creator.

However, they had vastly underestimated Wizeman. Not only had he beat them down, but he had prepared their prison for them by now, too; trapping them in the very mirror labyrinth they had created to lure in and confuse their victims- visitor and dream being alike. Stripped of their status and slowly being forgotten in the night dimension, Wizeman believed that Mirrage would never be an issue for him again... Though there was one thing that Mirrage never told him about their little nightmare.

They had found a way to connect their labyrinth with the reflection realm. They were able to travel throughout all of the night dimension, but only through looking glasses, bodies of water, polished metal, and anything else that held a reflective surface. They were not a part of Nightmare or Nightopia; they could only peer into the world that they once called their land, watching time and people pass by and experience everything they took for granted. While they were cursed to only watch.

And all it did was fuel their rage and vendetta against their prisoner. The cycle that they break free will be the cycle that everyone will be reminded of why they are the greatest nightmare to have ever lived.

Character Design

Mirrages appearance hasn't changed much. This is more or less redoing their suit, as well as a few touches.

Starting with their natural appearance, Mirrage is a nightmaren made out of porcelain and is as white as snow. If you touch them, they feel cool and smooth like a doll. However, their body and 'skin' move like they were made of flesh and blood; there are no visible joints connecting their limbs together. When hit, they crack and can even shatter, though they can always magically repair themselves. They're tall, around 7'9 to be exact, and have a very slim and androgynous body type. Though they can change it if so desired. I'm debating whether they have claws, or finger armor like the picture beneath. Maybe both?

Their eyes are rather unique. At least compared to the other nightmaren we've seen. They have a sapphire blue sclera and a bright yellow iris, and the white pupils are in the shape of a four pointed star. They painted their bottom lip gold and they have cat eye lashes, but that's the extent of their makeup on a normal day. They also do not possess a nose or ears like the other nightmaren, but could easily form themselves those features if desired.

Their cowl/horns extend outwardly and down the sides of their head and curve inward, as if framing their face like a mirrorframe. The cowl is midnight blue, with bright yellow stripes going down the horns and silver borders on both sides of all the stripes. I'm considering maybe a silver fleur swirl design within the yellow and connecting to the silver borders as well, though I'm not sure yet. Also, they have golden caps at the tips of their horns with tear drop shaped jewels attached, acting somewhat like earrings. What color they are, I'm currently debating with my friend Marshmallow. I'll be sure to touch up on this post later.

Their outfit I struggled the most with. I'm not the best at designing clothes, but I think I got it. I took inspiration from Balan from Balan Wonderworld and Jareth from Labyrinth. They have a seamless full body suit that is a sparkling midnight blue, with a lacey ivory cravat and frilled cuffs and chained golden buttons lining the breast. The legs of the body suit turn black in an ombre effect and connect to their sharp, black high heels with silver bottoms. The suit tail is a cut in a sharp V shape and reaches down to just a few inches below the knee. And pinned to their cravat is an oval shaped brooch with the same jewel their cowl jewelery is made of. Again, I'll come back to this later.

And finally, their voice. They technically can have any voice they want and can mimic anybody perfectly. However, they have two true voices that they like to switch between at a whim. Their feminine voice claim is Bayonetta from the game by the same name, and their masculine voice claim is the eel from Padak.

Tid-Bits

Their insides are an inky, coagulated mess. If you can strike hard enough, the black goo will drip out of the crevices. You can see a hint to what lies beneath when they open their mouth; it looks just like a black mamba, aside from their perfectly pearly white fangs- that are also porcelain.

They do have a staff. It was taken from them when they were banished, but they'll be able to summon it again once they are free. It is a gold and blue striped staff with a crystal ball balanced within a bejeweled golden hoop at the top. They can extend it long enough to walk with it, or shorten it to the length of a scepter.

Although while they're peering into the night dimension they can't touch anything, they still hold some power in their nightmare realm. If you meet them in the labyrinth, you'll find that their reflection could touch or grab yours, or any other object with you, without physically making contact.

Mirrage is a manipulative silver tongued snake, using whatever trick up their sleeve to gain the upper hand. They'll strike deals, make false promises, intimidate, anything. And they'll find a way to use your own words against you, so you better watch what you say around them.

Being created from a human heart, Mirrage is not a stranger to human desires. Not just for materialistic things, but even companionship. You could use this against them, but only if you plan your cards right. As a trickster, they can recognize a poorly thought out ploy attempting to be played on them, but they did also fail to overthrow Wizeman. Remember that. Just don't remind them that.

Being able to travel mostly unnoticed throughout the night dimension, they know many many secrets. I wouldn't recommend making your confessions near a lake or in front of your vanity if you wish for them to be unheard.

As you might have guessed, they use they/them pronouns and can easily change their appearance if they want to look more feminine or masculine. They don't know the meaning of 'cisgender'. They are whatever they like to be.

Since they aided Wizeman in the genocide of the guardians, that makes them and my OC Prism comnected... I may or may not be planning something with this.

Mirrage both respects and envies NiGHTS. They rebelled while still keeping their freedom. And Mirrage knows that that courage ideya shard must have something to do with NiGHTS turning on Wizeman. They think it might even save them from their prison. The trick however, is luring the little rapscallion into their realm in the first place.

When Wizeman finally falls and Reala takes the throne, Mirrage will present themselves to him, offering to help him become a better ruler in exchange for their status back... Though I'm certain we all know what they must be really planning by now.

Jackle... Is rather entertaining. They sometimes find their way to his guillotine and watch him do whatever he's doing at that moment. As far as they know, the failed first level has no idea about their existence.

The name Mirrage is a pun; combining the word mirror and mirage together to point to their character.

And that's my take two on Selph/Mirrage!! I hope you guys like my take ^^

#i have been given reassurances and i absolutely love my take on Selph #but im still worried i made them a bit more like an OC with all this 😅 #but hey #if Sega aint gonna use them and the only thing we get about them is a nicknamed file and mirror staff #then hand me those adoption papers #btw lust in this regard is meant to refer to the generalization of lust- not just ~lust~ #which is basically greed but with non-matirialistic things like knowledge... #(but Mirrage does feel the more mainstream lust too-) #also i was trying to combine all the colors i could with Mirrages design #similarly with how NiGHTS and Reala share colors. like Reala is mainly red with hints of purple and NiGHTS is mainly purple with hints of r #Jackle is mainly yellow/orange with hints of blue and Mirrage is mainly blue with hints of yellow #(and some hint of red for Reala.. not sire how to incorporate purple for NiGHTS) #Selph #Mirrage #NiD #JoD #NiGHTS into Dreams #NiGHTS Journey of Dreams #my own headcannons #Wizeman #character design #Jackle #Jackle the Mantle #Reala #NiGHTS #my own OC's #Prism

Yor Week Day 3: Code Name

Thorn Princess but she's an actual princess! (aka I needed an excuse to do a fantasy au 😅)

Royalty must marry when they come of age, but Yor doesn't like any of the court-suggested suitors. She makes an agreement with a very normal healer in the kingdom to fake a royal marriage until she can figure something out. He brings along his adorable daughter (a fae changling unbeknownst to both of them). And, of course, she's also an assassin.

#yorweek #yor forger #sxf #spy x family #breaking all the art rules of 'dont cut off/overlap art in weird places' because it was too late to resize one i noticed RIP #i wanted the inside of her cape red like her canon outfit but im worried its a bit red-riding-hoodish now 😅 #loid is a spy from the neighboring kingdom and thinks he just landed the greatest gig ever #but some mysterious figure has been keeping him from snooping around the castle late at night...

Oh gotta love that the very second that I sit down to work on my swap gift, we get a really bad thunderstorm coming through and we’re likely going to lose power soon. WHY?! 😫 At this point I’m just hoping we don’t have any tornado warnings, so my hopes for a productive evening is a loss.

#ooc #don’t worry we’re all fine here #im just whining #I wanted to work more on my swap gift #but im trying to save a bit of battery on my phone in case the power goes out #hope everyone is having a better evening 😅

Hi Mark!

I just wanted to give back some positivity for my favourite positivity goblin! <3)

I have a question! Do you stay fed and hydrated while you write your fics?

I black out for ten hours, possessed by a demon, when I write. when I come too I'm hit by every status effect known to man all at once.

So no, not really😅

GREAT news. With all-night heat therapy and some pain meds my legs have Finally stopped hurting.

Additional great news, I think Cassy's cold is starting to get a bit better. I've been running the humidifier nearly constantly since I got home two days ago, & it's helping with the static electricity and Also with Cassy's congestion. He hasn't been sneezing & has only been sniffling some, so I hope this is a sign he's genuinely getting better
