That moment when ............... you were standing among the crowd of excited City fans waiting to greet the players as they disembarked from the team coach ……. the coach was running a little late, but you had decided it was worth the wait to get some good close up pictures on your phone of the players as they walked past ..............
.............. while you waited you were really surprised to receive an unexpected text from your boyfriend (who had told you he couldn't come with you because he was working) ……… you smiled at the thought of him as you opened the message, but as you started to read it your your heart rapidly sank, and you could feel the tears threatening to spill from your eyes …… he was dumping you …… by text …… completely out of the blue ……. you struggled to take in the rest of the message ……. he had met someone else and admitted he didn’t have the guts to tell you face to face ………..
............. you clutched your phone to your chest and hugged yourself, suddenly feeling exposed and vulnerable as the tears started to fall ……… the City fans around you had started cheering as the coach had pulled up, and the players started to filter off to head into the Etihad stadium …….. right now that was the last thing on your mind as you sniffed and hung your head to try and hide just how upset you were ……… but the sound of a soft male voice with a foreign accent close in front of you made you look up and your watery eyes met the beautiful brown eyes of Ruben Dias ……….... 
............. as he passed he had spotted that you were crying and seeing a very beautiful 'damsel in distress' he felt he should stroll over to the barrier to make sure that you were okay ...............
.................. you were totally stunned as he dipped his head to keep the eye contact and seemed genuinely concerned for you .......... you felt a little embarrassed as you briefly explained the reason for your flurry of tears, but he placed a reassuring hand on your shoulder then gently leaned forward, whispering in your ear that your ex was 'a fool' and if you were happy to put your number in his phone, he would really love to contact you after the match ........... and take you out for dinner ............

FireBird - March
Tumblr media
Ah, my dear friend @cilil was so good to send in a couple of requests!
It's my joy and honour to present the first fic to you tonight :D
Prompts: “The worst part is you didn’t even notice” – “I don’t need a gentleman right now.” – Responsibility – Knight in shining armour
Pairing: Eönwë x Gothmog
Words: 1030
Warnings: Injury, blood, sadness, bad elves, good Eönwë
Tumblr media
“Let him be, I’ll take care of it,” Eönwë called, feeling the back of his neck heat up as the despicable half-truth crossed his dry lips.
Nobody had expected the co-habitation of once inveterate foes to be easy, and Eönwë even secretly believed that Manwë could and should have been more discouraging when it came to the outright hostile behaviour towards the reformed former denizens of Angband.
Unfortunately, the reality turned out to be much worse than anything the kind-hearted herald had ever imagined.
“Milord,” the group of reembodied Elves muttered and withdrew reluctantly.
It was forbidden for the Balrogs to travel in groups, and much too often resentful, unforgiving members of the High Houses liked to corner Melkor’s fallen servants and harass them cruelly.
“Away with you,” Eönwë called sternly. “Leave it to me!”
Of course, Eönwë did not doubt that any of the fearsome Maiar could have defended themselves against a few puny incarnates, but he took his role as a keeper of the peace very seriously.
Moreover, he was eager for this one Balrog in particular to understand that he was on his side, as much as that was even possible anymore.
“Bird,” Gothmog purred, leaning heavily against a boulder, and trying to angle his body so as to dissimulate the minor wounds the group of pesky troublemakers had inflicted upon him. “Have you come to chide me? I swear upon my honour that I’ve not laid a single claw upon your precious Children.”
At that ludicrous declaration, Eönwë let his frown deepen disapprovingly.
He knew Manwë’s stipulations only too well—after all, he had been the one tasked to convey them to the unfortunate souls they concerned—but, in his heart of hearts, he nevertheless much regretted to see his friend and lover hurt because of a set of cold, unfeeling rules.
“You’re allowed to defend yourself against those who’d seek to harm you,” he murmured insistently.
“And risk your displeasure, beloved? From your sweet lips came the ordinance to renounce my evil ways, and I shall do so, no matter the cost to my health and heart,” Gothmog replied calmly.
Unfortunately, his efforts at clumsy gallantry were considerably hampered by the fact that he was by now slowly slumping under the strain of desperately pretending that he was perfectly hale and happy.
“You look particularly appetising today, bird,” Gothmog tried to assuage the worry in the bright, sky-blue eyes of his most cherished enemy. “I mean, you look handsome.”
Eru’s long-haired pet meat bags might never have understood it, but there were truths and affinities sung into creation that far transcended their very limited interpretation of beauty and affection.
Thus, it had come to pass that these fierce warriors—having fought ferociously on opposite fronts in a seemingly eternal war—had ultimately found well-deserved peace in one another.
As all star-crossed lovers were wont to asseverate, they naturally were willing to selflessly die for the other.
Living, they’d soon found out, was a much more arduous and treacherous challenge.
Ever diligent to the point of undeniable stubbornness, Gothmog had decided that he’d use his new-found freedom to give Eönwë what he clearly yearned for so desperately: a proper romantic courtship.
“Could I interest you in a leisurely stroll by the river then?” the Balrog asked in a forcibly level voice.
“Don’t be silly,” Eönwë exclaimed. “You are injured! This is hardly the moment for pleasant walks by the water. Let me see!”
Indeed, the herald’s heart ached as he glimpsed the superficial but undoubtedly painful gashes marring Gothmog’s precious, gleaming hide.
“I shall have words with them,” he grumbled, gnashing his flawless teeth.
“Do not trouble yourself on my account, my sweetling,” Gothmog assured him quickly as he tried to squirm away from the inquisitive fingers ghosting across his skin and threatening to undo his carefully constructed façade of good manners and gentle words.
“They are my responsibility,” Eönwë opined. “And so are you, you foolhardy creature! If you will not defend yourself, will you at least promise to call for me if this ever happens again?”
His stern gaze softened, and his pursed lips relaxed into a charming smile. “I quite like being your knight in shining armour.”
As if embarrassed by his own confession, he drew his wings up defensively.
“Keep talking,” Gothmog drawled. The cocky, teasing grin he flashed Eönwë now was genuine, despite his tangible discomfort.
“You’re not the only one who’s trying to impress by putting his best foot forward, and the worst thing is, you didn’t even notice…” Eönwë complained softly, rubbing a blood-stained hand along his chiselled jaw shamefacedly.
“What do you believe has escaped my notice? How competently you’ve handled this situation, getting rid of these unwelcome intruders with aplomb and grace? Or your indescribable beauty as you arrived on the scene like an avenging entity made of summer bliss and autumn storms? You underestimate me, my winged wonder, for I am humbled by every awe-inspiring detail of your appearance and demeanour!”
“Humbug,” Eönwë mumbled, flattered despite suspecting that he was being lovingly mocked. “I don’t need a gentleman right now, Gothmog. Tell me how bad it is…Should I bring you to Estë?”
“Pah! Estë!” Gothmog guffawed. “What for? To be fussed over endlessly? ‘tis but a scratch, I tell you.”
Lifting his arm slowly, he cupped Eönwë’s cheek tenderly. “Please, believe me when I say that neither your entirely unnecessary preoccupation nor your gentle care has gone unnoticed.”
Beneath the soothing, healing caress of the one he loved against all odds and despite the bitter feud engraved into their very souls, Gothmog finally relaxed.
“When you arrived, I couldn’t help thinking how marvellous it is to see you appear like a ray of sun cutting through the blinding, burning mist of battle and to know that you’ve not come to smite me.”
“I am on your side, you know?” Eönwë whispered, curling up against the living heat of the terrible fire demon.
“There are no sides anymore,” Gothmog reminded him, quoting the announcement that had allowed them to meet and reconnect once more.
“Nevertheless…”
“Yes,” Gothmog yawned, slinging his arm around his beloved hero. “Thank you!”

Buyer’s Guide to Chainmail - Medieval Collectibles Blog
Medieval Collectibles brings to you a buyer’s guide to chainmail. Our selection of chainmail is very extensive, and we break down what terms and variations you may come across. From materials to riveting types and more, we hope to answer your questions regarding our chainmail and help you choose what chainmail to buy.
Materials Used for Chaimail
The material that chainmail is made from will affect what it can be used for. There are a variety of materials. We have mild steel, high tensile steel, titanium, aluminum only, as well as aluminum and rubber chainmail.
Aluminum chainmail as well as aluminum and rubber chainmail are ideal for situations where the look of chainmail but not the weight is desired. It is also useful for when the protection of stronger chainmail is not required. This includes theatrical productions, cosplay conventions, and other non-contact roleplaying events. The addition of rubber to aluminum also allows the chainmail garment to stretch slightly, making it easier to take on and off.
Tumblr media
Next, there is steel chainmail. Most of our chainmail is steel chainmail. It can come as mild steel or high tensile steel. High tensile steel has a greater tensile strength than mild steel. This means that high tensile rings are more resistant to being stretched or pulled apart. Steel chainmail is great for either contact roleplaying or reenactment, depending on the gauge being used. Steel chainmail mail must be treated with oil to prevent rusting and corrosion.
Tumblr media
Finally, there is titanium. Titanium chainmail combines the benefits of aluminum with benefits of steel. It is both strong and lightweight. This allows it to be used for non-historically accurate reenactments. This also the most expensive type of chainmail and is therefore recommended for more experienced users.
Gauges of Steel
Steel chainmail rings come in multiple wire gauges. The larger the number of the gauge the thinner the wire. The two most common steel gauges that we have are 16 and 18 gauge wire. 16 gauge steel and below, such as 14 gauge steel, work best for historical reenactments. 18 gauge and above, such as 20 gauge, are better for roleplaying and LARP events. Generally, the thinner the steel wire or the higher the gauge number, the more likely it should be used for costume and roleplaying use. We offer an array of this type of chainmail. For example, top brands Mytholon and Epic Armoury make chainmail specifically for LARP use. 
Types of Chainmail Rings
Chainmail rings can be divided by the shape of the ring’s wire. There are two types of rings, flat and round rings. A round ring would have a circular cross section if one were to cut through one of this type of ring. On the other hand, a flat ring would show a rectangular cross section.

Tumblr media
Flat, Riveted Chainmail Rings (above)
Butted vs Riveted Chainmail
Chainmail rings can also be divided by their closure. Rings are either riveted or butted. Butted chainmail rings are rarely flat wire rings and are usually round wire. The ends of the rings sit close together. Riveted rings on the other hand can be either round or flat ring. These rings have a piece of metal stuck through both ends of the rings, securing them together. Riveted chainmail tends to be stronger and more resistant to combat than butted rings. For contact reenactments, riveted chainmail is better suited than butted chainmail. Additionally, some pieces of chainmail may be made of mostly butted rings but also use riveted chainmail rings for reinforcement in points of stress on a garment. Other garments may use a combination of riveted or butted rings and solid rings. Solid rings alternate with either butted or riveted rings to create a stronger piece.
Types of Riveting
There are two major types of riveting found on chainmail. These types are dome riveting, also called round riveting, and wedge riveting. Both types are historically accurate. Wedge riveting for example, became popular in the 1300s and was used until chainmail was no longer used in combat. Dome riveting is more accurate to the early medieval world. Dome riveted chainmail tends to be less expensive than wedge riveted. Both types of riveting are suitable for contact with weapons, provided that the rings are made from the appropriate materials.

Ring Diameter
Rings come in a variety of diameters. These rings are usually measured in millimeters. As the diameter of the rings used gets smaller, the weave of the chainmail armour will get tighter. The smaller the diameter, the stronger the chainmail will be, generally speaking.
Types of Chainmail Armour
There are many types of chainmail armour pieces. This includes gauntlets, voiders, chausses, coifs, aventails, and hauberks or haubergeons. Hauberks and haubergeons have tunic-like shapes. They cover the torso and usually some or most of the arms as well. Coifs cover the head and neck. Aventails will generally cover the neck and were historically used in conjunction with helmets. Voiders are pieces that specifically protect the arms and sides of the torso. Gauntlets mainly protect the hands and wrists. Chausses primarily protect the legs. Chausses usually have a loop of some kind on each leg to allow them to secure onto a belt.

Can Powdercoating Be Your Wheels’ Knight in Shining Armour?
Tumblr media
Forget just flashy accessories, your wheels are the unsung heroes of your car. They conquer potholes, shrug off curb scrapes, and brave every stormy commute. But like any valiant adventurer, they deserve the best protection. And when it comes to defending against the metal’s greatest foe – rust – few options stand as tall as powder coating. While they spin tirelessly, facing the elements and bearing the car’s weight, even these heroes can succumb to the creeping villain: rust. But fear not, car enthusiasts! Today, we unveil a powerful shield against this metallic monster – powder coating. But before you grab your lance and charge into battle, let’s delve into the truth: can powder coating truly prevent rust?
Why Powder coating Reigns Supreme?
Tumblr media
Unlike traditional paint, powder coating isn’t just a thin coat. It’s a chemical dance between metal and polymer, resulting in a thick, durable layer that bonds directly to your wheel’s surface. This isn’t just a shield; it’s a fortress against the elements. Moisture, salt, even mud’s grimy fingers – all are repelled by this robust barrier.
And unlike the flimsy armour of a rookie knight, powder coating can withstand even the most enthusiastic curb encounters. Chipping and scratches? Forget it! This coating laughs in the face of minor bumps and scrapes, keeping your wheels looking fresh and rust-free longer.
But wait, there’s more! Powder coating isn’t just a knight clad in iron; it’s a fire-breathing dragon, too. Unlike some paints that wilt under the summer sun, powder coating is heat-resistant enough to handle even the fiercest brake fade. So, stop worrying about melting armour; your wheels are in good hands (or should we say, tires?)
The Aesthetics of Protection
Tumblr media
But what good is a knight in shining armour if they look like a rusty bucket? Powder coating doesn’t just defend; it adorns! Choose from a vast array of colours and finishes – matte black for a sleek stealth, vibrant candy apple red for a pop of personality, or even a cheeky chrome to stand out from the crowd. Express your inner knight while safeguarding your wheels from the rust dragon.
A Few Words of Caution
Tumblr media
Like any epic quest, powder coating requires preparation. Rust already there? It needs banishing before the shield goes up. Think of it as polishing your armour before battle; a clean surface ensures a lasting defence.
And while DIY knights might be tempting, this is a task best left to the professionals. Experienced powder coaters have the tools and know-how to ensure a long-lasting, rust-proof finish. Don’t risk a chipped shield – let the experts handle the application.
Why Rust-Free Wheels are a Winning Proposition?
Tumblr media
Sure, powder coating might cost a bit more than a can of paint, but consider it an investment in your wheels’ lifespan and value. Rust-free wheels = happy you, happy car. And when it comes to selling your car, gleaming rims will fetch a higher price, making powder coating a true knight in shining financial armour.
The Verdict: A Triumphant Defense Against Rust
Tumblr media
So, can powder coating prevent rusting? A resounding yes! It’s a powerful ally in the fight against corrosion, offering both protection and style. However, remember the importance of proper preparation and professional application.

He requested me to sit with him? He must be up to something, I definitely don't like it...but I'll figure it out.
-Naoto
so will you go with him? Won't that cause issues with Rindou? I assumed he'd want to go with you and he would prefer to go in the car but then Hanma says he wants to go with you so...
I don't like it either, thats why I thought the actual injured members could be separate from him.
