I've had this concept in my head for ages! A frame where they're looking right at you.

Keys of Egress AU (AKA, the puzzle siblings get trapped in a video game)
Alfendi finds a video game under a bridge and decides playing it with his sisters is an amazing idea
They each pick a class, Flora chooses mechanic, Alfendi chooses detective (which Kat is *not* happy about), and Kat is stuck with witch since the fourth class is glitched out
They're each assigned to a different level based on their class. It turns out that random people showing up and solving problems is a thing people know can happen. It's also known that each person wound up befriending a resident of the world (an assistant, if you will).
Flora is placed in a very mechanical small town that has been taken over the mad inventor, Don Paolo. Her assistant is Luke, a wind-up doll robot who wants to find his friend, Arianna, and stop Don Paolo.
Alfendi gets the most grounded level, solving a series of murders in a city when the original killer is dead. His assistant is Lucy, a nosy schoolgirl who accidentally already got involved.
Kat gets a very stereotypical fantasy story. She needs to stop a dragon at the top of a mountain that's causing a magical rot. Her assistant is Ernest, a boy who lives alone just outside the town at the bottom of the mountain, grows plants, and makes potions.
Kat is having a blast, Flora is going along with it while having fun, and Alfendi is regretting his decisions.
Their ages are very different from canon: Flora is 18, Alfendi is 15 (so no placid prof), and Kat is 12.
They reunite (and bring their assistants along) in the level corresponding to the glitched class and find an absolute, corrupted mess. They have to figure out who broke the level and fix it.
After beating each level, they get a key that allows them to leave the level, and once they have all four, the game

Triton: Beloved, you are here with the books again.
Morrigan: Hello again. How are you faring today?
Stella: I am, I was reading about your mother... After what happened with the space station, I must admit I was curious where Morrigan's power came from. I am well thanks to you Morrigan. 
She operates a seashell on the table to dim the lights a little for Morrigan.
Morrigan *nods*: Thanks, I'm accustomed to the sunlight, especially filtered through the ocean. On dry land it stings a bit. It's nothing I can't handle, but I appreciate the gesture. I am happy to answer any questions, if you wish it.
Stella: Oh bless you, so proper and formal all the time. Your grandmother was remarkable. But I think you got her trumped. Stopping a wave with that much force behind it, will go down in history.
****
Morrigan *nods*: I did what was necessary, as she would have had she been here. She was crucial to the survival of a group of human refugees escaping slavery.
Triton: Morrigan took the Paragon to escape my plans for her, didn't you? She hated all my suitors of course.
Morrigan: They weren't worthy of me. I did what I thought was right for me.
Stella smiled brightly. 
Stella: Absolutely correct! Never lower your standards Morrigan, not for anybody.
Triton: I am to be condemned to a life with women instructing me I can tell... I can hear Lord Abyssal's jibes and mockery already.
****
Morrigan *grins*: “Rule number 2, do not intimidate your closest loved ones so much they fear to speak and advise you.”
Stella *laughs*: That's a good rule. Who came up with that?
Elita: Morrigan chuckled. I cannot tell you how rare it was to hear Morrigan laugh in these days, imagine Krusty the clown laughing, while gargling water, that’s kind of how Morrigan’s laugh sounds. 
Triton: I did. My own words used against me. Tell me, what bothers you Stella? I can tell you are not right.

People who side with Triton and criticize Ariel for rebelling against him miss the whole point of the story. I don't know what it is about Ariel in particular that many people online look for every reason to hate on her and justify everything that happened to her.
#ariel#king triton#disney#the little mermaid#meta#disney meta#i miss people tend to be very dismissive of disney princesses and their trauma#but ariel in particular gets an unhealthy amount of flack#i know she is just an animated character. i'm well-aware she is fictional but boy does the deliberate misunderstanding still drive me crazy#and not in a good way at all#mean**#these critics are exhibiting the exact same mentality and attitude triton and sebastian had towards ariel#and they don't realize it at all#the entire point of the story was about letting go of prejudices. understanding the other side. letting your child go and make decisions fo#themselves. it wasn't just about a girl who gave her voice away because she saw a hot dude or sumn#that is a very gross interpretation of the movie and her character#she wanted to make her father see that there was beauty in the human world and eric was the proof of that#that's why she said “you don't even know him”. she said that because she saw how kind he was to everybody his compassion his love his warmth#his willingness to sacrifice his life for his damn dog. his humility his dreamy nature#he seemed like the pinnacle of humans but also someone she could relate to. a guy who understands her#it wasn't simply because he was hot although that definitely played a big role in her interest because that man was designed to be a total#beauty but anyways i digress. i think of him as the piece that united everything#he was the missing puzzle piece so to day#although ariel is actually the bridge between both worlds and eric is the foundation that maintains it#you know what i mean?#that's the whole point. it's a beautiful story about understanding love forgiveness and overcoming prejudice

The beautiful woman's disconsolate tears echoed on the desolate beach, tinged by the moonlight. Heartbroken and soul shattered, she wondered again and again what she had done wrong. No matter how much effort she put into attracting the attention of her husband, the man of her dreams, she seemed to find her bored and stoic. Sitting on the sand, she let out a sigh full of bitterness and pain, as the wind caressed her messy hair.
"My attempts were in vain.... Why, what else can I do to win his love? It seems I'm just a nuisance in his life..." whispered the woman to the wind, her voice broken and full of deep sadness.
At that moment, a supernatural-looking man appeared walking in the distance. His snow- and moon-white locks swayed gracefully in the sea breeze. His pale skin, smooth as alabaster, radiated a beauty that transcended earthly boundaries. Oblivious to the woman's presence, he waded into the ocean, letting out a captivating, melancholy melody. The strength of his voice seemed to release the accumulated stress.
The musical notes rose into the air, and the woman, irresistibly attracted by the mysterious and beautiful voice, raised her head to observe the enigmatic man. Their gazes met by chance, and an awkward silence took over the atmosphere. Both felt uneasy in the presence of the other, as if the universe conspired to bring them together at that time and place.
"Excuse me... I didn't mean to interrupt your moment of solitude," the woman said shyly, as she wiped away tears with the back of her hand. She felt pathetic and embarrassed in the presence of such a dazzling being.
"Don't worry. I didn't expect to find someone in this secluded place, normally no one comes here," replied the man with a playful smile, trying to hide his surprise at the woman's appearance.
The encounter did not go unnoticed, and little by little they began to engage in an awkward conversation full of curious questions and hidden longings.
"What brings you to this lonely place?" she asked first, seeking to break the ice that surrounded them, wanting to understand what brought that extraordinary being to a forgotten corner of the beach.
"I needed a break from my busy life. Sometimes I even long to get away from responsibilities and immerse myself in my thoughts," he replied with a kind but tired smile. He turned to her, curious to know her story. 
As they continued to converse, the barriers of the awkward situation slowly began to fade. The formerly unhappy and bitter woman found solace in the presence of the captivating-voiced albino. Meanwhile, he was fascinated by the spontaneity and passion she hid behind her careless appearance. A peculiar and special bond was beginning to weave between them.
"Have you ever felt trapped in a world that doesn't allow you to be yourself?" she asked, breaking the silence as she stared at him, her eyes reflecting longing and vulnerability.
He was transfixed for a moment, immersed in thought, trying to find the right words to answer that profound question. With a sincere smile, he decided to share his truth.
"Sometimes, life places us in circumstances that limit us, but it's up to us to find a way to free ourselves from those chains. Personally, I have found in music a way to escape and express myself," Gojo said, revealing a more intimate aspect of his being.
She smiled, laughing at her sincere and authentic expression. In that instant, they seemed to understand each other without the need for additional words.
The sound of the surf gently breaking against the shore became the backdrop of their encounter, as they both shared their deepest experiences and secrets. As they got deeper into their conversation, the awkward and tense moments gave way to a closer and more genuine connection.
Time seemed to stand still in that secluded corner of the beach, and as the moon bathed their encounter in a silvery halo and their gazes intertwined, charged with a silent understanding. The waves of the sea danced around them, as if the ocean itself was celebrating the meeting of two young souls on the abandoned beach.
As the night progressed, the chemistry between them became evident. They shared stories, dreams and fears, immersing themselves in an ever-deepening complicity. Fluid and emotion-filled dialogues revealed a connection that went beyond words, as if their hearts began to beat in unison.
However, dawn was breaking over the horizon, tinging the sky with shades of pink and gold. The magical moment was coming to an end, and both realized they had to separate.
"It was an unexpected and special encounter. Thank you for giving me this company in a moment of loneliness," the woman expressed with gratitude, while the sparkle in her eyes reflected a spark of hope that she had lost before amid broken and disconsolate sobs.
The white-haired man nodded softly, a mixture of melancholy and longing reflected in his eyes. "It has been an honor to share this time with you. Don't forget that there is always a light in the darkness. I hope you find your way to happiness."
With those meaningful words, they said goodbye on the seashore, each carrying with them the indelible memory of that fleeting but transformative encounter.
The woman looked back one last time as she walked away from the beach, carrying her emotions and longings with her.
Ժ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴
The woman returned to her gloomy home, tormented by the echoes of pleasure and the dull thunder of the betrayal her husband consummated with his lover. Keeping silent, as she had been taught, she went into her lonely room, where the man she loved had abandoned her.
However, a strange sensation lingered in her mind: the memory of the beautiful albino remained, like a flickering flame in the midst of the darkness. She had never seen someone with that snow-white mane and those enigmatic eyes, whose blue seemed to reflect an infinite sky. She swore that if she got close enough, her could catch a glimpse of dancing clouds in those celestial orbs, like the ones that float in a clear sky off a sunny beach. 
She lay back on her bed, staring at the ceiling as her mind wandered through the thoughts that plagued her. Finally, exhaustion enveloped her and plunged her into a disturbed sleep.
The hours passed in a haze, and upon awakening, she found herself plunged into the gloom of her room. A faint glow filtered through the slits in the heavy curtains, indicating that a new day had begun. The memory of the encounter on the beach enveloped her like an evocative mist, and a sense of longing filled her chest.
With determination, she got out of bed and walked over to the mirror. She looked at her reflection, her eyes red-rimmed and tired, her hair disheveled. The woman reflected in front of her was a shadow of her former self, but something had changed. In the depths of her being, she had awakened a spark of courage and a determination to seek the happiness she longed for. However, her pessimistic and bitter expression threatened to overshadow that determination.
"I really am pathetic... ahh! This heart of mine is hopeless," the girl muttered in despair. She then decided to fix herself up, getting rid of her sleeping dress still on and trying to correct the smeared makeup on her face.
Sometimes she wondered about her role or why she was still attached to this toxic love.
***
The woman, armed with courage, emerged from her room ready to face the day to day as the socialite duchess she was meant to appear to be. Despite her longing for something more, she was resigned to her role as a decorative wife, a mere accessory to the duke whose only interest lay in his mistress. Her husband ignored her completely, confining her to a superficial and meaningless role.
She masterfully organized and attended the most important social events, where her presence was required to maintain the status and power of the family. However, deep inside, she desperately longed to escape from that gilded cage and find a glimmer of authenticity in the midst of falsehood.
In the midst of this empty existence, occasional encounters with the enigmatic albino became her secret refuge. Hidden from her husband and the prying eyes of high society, they would meet in secluded places, where they could relax and revel in the simplicity of nature.
Between emotionally charged whispers and intertwined glances, they explored the deepest corners of their souls. However, for her, the albino was simply a friend. After all, she was oblivious to the deep feelings she harbored in his heart. 
One day, as they walked together through the picturesque harbor, the woman could not hide her sadness and sighed as she gazed at the crimson-tinged horizon. Satoru, captivated and curious, took her hand and asked in a soft but determined voice:
"What troubles you so much as to ignore the beautiful sunrise? You have been distant and self-absorbed. I understand if you do not wish to share it with me."
The duchess was moved by his words and sketched a smile, trying to dispel the weary expression and release some of the burden she carried.
"You know, it's hard to break the chains that bind me to this life of appearances. But my heart still clings, even though I know my love for him is toxic. Sometimes I feel like a fool, waiting for something that will never come. Should I continue to cling to this illusion?" she replied, asking herself a question that only she could answer.
The whispers of the wind continued their walk, wrapped in a silence that evidenced the conflict they harbored in their hearts. The duchess knew that giving up her love for the duke would not be easy, for it was rooted deep within her. Meanwhile, Satoru felt his heart beating yearningly, struggling against the reality that she only saw him as a friend.
At the culmination of their encounter, they parted amidst the glow of dawn, both engulfed in a storm of conflicting emotions.
Ժ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴
Filled with silent regret, the duchess returned to the sumptuous duchy which, despite its grandeur, was nothing more than a gilded cage that imprisoned her. At the opulent dinner table, her presence went unnoticed, ignored by both the duke and the other diners. The air of indifference seemed to whisper to her that her existence was only relevant as a figurehead, devoid of voice and will.
The duke, without taking his eyes off his plate, cast a fleeting glance at the duchess and let out a brief sigh. "Carry on as usual," he murmured coolly. It was evident that his interest had completely vanished.
Night fell like a dark cloak over the duchy and the duchess found herself summoned to the duke's bedchamber. Intimate acts, charged with an empty tension, took place without passion or emotional connection. Fulfilling his frozen duties, the duke left her once his needs were met, without further words or gestures of tenderness. The emptiness in the bedroom intertwined with the emptiness in the duchess' soul, leaving her trapped in an abyss of loneliness and hopelessness.
The days passed with parsimony, as the duchess clung to the fragile hope of brief encounters with the albino. In the secret corners of hidden gardens and winding paths, their gazes met and their conversations were a glimmer of authenticity amidst the deception. But each encounter was fleeting, like a breath of fresh air in a stifling world. Unfulfilled longings and unexpressed feelings hung in the air, as if both were caught in a dangerous game of attraction and denial.
The duchess longed to find solace in the albino's arms, but clung to the illusion that her love for the duke could be transformed, that she would one day be reciprocated and truly loved. However, the relentless reality and emotional wounds were tangling in her heart, slowly tearing it apart.
As the days went by, the encounters with the albino became more scarce and fragmented. Her husband became suspicious of her and her actions, so he ordered her not to let her leave the dukedom. 
Relatively, during their encounters a furtive brush of hands, a glance full of complicity, were all they could afford. Mutual attraction was still palpable in the air, but the distance imposed by circumstances was cruel and implacable.
In the darkness of the night, as the duchess lay alone in her bed, tears slid silently down her cheeks. She knew that the love she so longed for with the duke would never be hers, and that the refuge she found in the brief encounters with the albino was also short-lived. The pain of loneliness was becoming less bearable and not knowing exactly how to feel.
Ժ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴
The tension in the duchy reached its peak in a heated argument between the duchess and the duke. Anger-filled words flew around the room, like sharp daggers seeking to wound. Unable to control his fury, the duke lost control and violently struck the duchess, leaving a trail of pain and tears on her face.
"You are nothing, just a fucking nuisance that I can use and discard as I please! Forget that I could ever love you," the duke vociferated with contempt, revealing the true nature of their relationship. It was crystal clear that he used her solely for her power and influence coming from his father the right hand of the emperor, considering her nothing more than a disposable object.
"What did I expect from you, hahaha I feel pathetic."
Whispered the duchess still lying on the floor from the blow. Heartbroken and body aching, she retreated from the room in silence, charged with tumultuous emotions. Between the darkness of the night and the waves of the beach, she found refuge in the arms of the albino, who received her with compassion and tenderness.
Tears ran freely down the duchess' cheeks as she recounted to him the duke's cruel treatment, the hurtful words and the physical pain she had suffered. Disappointment and despair enveloped her like a dark cloak, and she sought solace in the albino's comforting embrace.
"I'm sorry," she said in a trembling voice. "I wanted to believe that things would change.... But I've been deceived..." She cried silently, clinging to him desperately, like a child clinging to its mother for protection. He stroked her hair and hugged her tightly.
"Please don't cry," he whispered, trying to calm her. "It's okay." He reassured but she only turned to look at him, tears staining her makeup.
"But it isn't! I thought my heart was strong enough, but it crumbled in front of him."
Satoru, unable to contain his feelings any longer, let himself be overpowered by passion and longing. Without warning, he leaned toward her and kissed her, leaving the duchess surprised and stunned by the unexpected act. At that moment, the world seemed to stop, and the kiss carried with it the promise of an authentic and liberating love.
The duchess, overwhelmed by the mixture of emotions and confusion, slowly separated from Satoru. She didn't know what to say and honestly her mind was a mess, so she didn't care and let him continue. 
Their lips collided, skin to skin. Satoru sucked the woman's soft skin, she moaned and felt the albino's hands on her breasts. He began to undress.
"Don't stop," she said, moving closer to him.
He caressed her body with his hands and tongue. Sus dedos tocaron su pecho, luego se deslizaron hasta su abdomen. He pulled her and pushed her against the fresh sand of the beach.
Satoru was a little shy at first, not wanting to ruin their relationship just because of one night of passion, but when he felt the Duchess's naked body pressed against his, he became aroused. His cock was hardening and ready for action.
Without waiting any longer, he wrapped his mouth around her neck, kissing and licking her, then slowly slid down her naked body. 
"Fuck! I've wanted you for these months, I've dreamed of you, and now you're all mine.... Hmmmm" The white-haired man moaned between kisses, his hardened cock ready to thrust into the girl's panties.
The duchess, overcome with lust, greedily took the white-haired man's cock into her mouth. The sensation of pleasure shot through her as she licked and sucked him. She wrapped her arms around his body and hugged him tightly, savoring the sensation of being intimate with a man again after so many years.
She closed her eyes as she sucked him deeply. The taste of him made her dizzy and aroused her. Her mouth filled with saliva and she moaned.
Satoru released her juices, letting his semen leak out inside the woman's vagina. Then, hungry and somewhat rough, he carried her in his arms, wrapping his hips around her legs and thrusting his cock between her buttocks. "Ahhh fuck! how tight you are, I love you so much" His whispers filled with obsessive lust they were not heard by her.
The duchess cried out from the pain of his thrusts, but she also felt the pleasure that accompanied them. She felt the albino's strong hands on her body, caressing her and massaging her spongy breasts. His kisses reached her ears, arousing her even more.
"I want you inside me," She moaned desperately, wanting to forget about anything and just let herself be carried away by him and his cock. "I need you inside me." 
He didn't answer her, but pushed harder, taking her roughly and with a ravenous hunger in his blue eyes.
Then she, lost in her lust, didn't notice the looming scales or merman features that he inadvertently let out of his body, as he was just as, if not more, lost in her pleasures. 
"I'm going to cum... I'm going to cum..." he moaned.
The duchess felt the intense pleasure that accompanied her orgasm, and was surprised at how good it felt to be touched like that. The white-haired man pulled away from the duchess and kissed her deeply.
"You've done well... I love you so much," he whispered. However, the duchess only looked at the ground with conflict and when she least expected it, she slipped away, while satoru slept next to her, leaving him alone. Many emotions crossed her face, yet she was crying. She felt confused and somewhat upset, she did not see the beautiful man that way and yet, deep inside, she loved him very much.
Ժ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴
It was early in the morning, and the duchess was walking through the gardens of her secluded ducal mansion, feeling tired and weak. She had spent the night lamenting and feeling even more confused. In her mind, she went over the events of the previous night and the sensations she had experienced were repeated over and over again. She couldn't sleep and she knew it was because of the albino, who had awakened something in her.
She felt her heart beating faster and began to feel a sensation in her stomach, as if it were full of butterflies. But she didn't want to get her hopes up, she feared that she would fall back into the clutches of love, at this point she would only stay in the duchy as her parents would not hesitate to punish her if she divorced.
It was early morning, and the duchess was walking through the gardens of her secluded mansion in the duchy, feeling tired and weak. She had been up all night, tormented by the confusion and mixed emotions that had arisen. The events of the previous night replayed over and over in her mind, and though she felt a strange attraction to the albino, she was also filled with fear and doubt.
Her heart was beating faster and the butterflies in her stomach seemed to flutter endlessly. But she refused to allow hope to grow, afraid to fall back into the clutches of love and face the devastating consequences it could bring. Her social position and the fear of her parents' reprisals if she divorced kept her captive in the duchy, a gilded prison from which she could not easily escape.
The duchess felt cowardly and ashamed of her actions the night before. After that intimate and passionate encounter with Satoru, she had felt a surge of shame wash over her. The image of his male hands on her body was still etched in her mind, evoking a mixture of desire and guilt. She didn't feel ready to face Satoru after standing him up without explanation, unable to deal with the flood of emotions and fears that inundated her.
As she continued her solitary stroll through the gardens, the duchess found herself in a sea of tumultuous thoughts. She longed to find answers, clarity and the strength to make life-changing decisions, but it all seemed so confusing and complicated. She paused under the shade of an ancient oak tree, and tears began to well up in her eyes. She wept silently, letting the tears wash her face as the sun began to shine on the horizon.
In that moment of vulnerability, the duchess recalled the brief encounters with Satoru in previous days. Although her heart pounded when she was near him, there was also a deep fear that held her back. She didn't know what to do, how to cope with all these overwhelming emotions that threatened to overflow.
The duchess wiped away her tears and took a deep breath, determined to face reality and clarify her feelings. However, fear continued to haunt her, afraid of getting hurt once again. Deep in her heart, she knew that postponing this conversation would only prolong her emotional torment.
Despite her initial determination, the duchess decided to wait for a more propitious opportunity to broach the subject with Satoru. She believed that an evening would be the perfect time, when the mansion would be quiet and the shadows would offer a degree of privacy. She planned every detail in her mind, imagining how she would express her feelings and how she would listen to his.
However, fate had other plans in mind. In the middle of the night, as the duchess prepared to sneak out of her room, the duke discovered her in the hallway. His face was shadowed with anger and mockery, as if he were enjoying a macabre spectacle.
"Where do you think you are going, my dear duchess, to meet your mistress, perchance? I'm not surprised, you ungrateful whore," the duke pronounced with contempt and sarcasm.
The duke's words struck the duchess like sharp blades. Tears welled up in her eyes again, but this time they were not only tears of sadness, but also of indignation. The cruelty with which he treated her reminded the duchess how callous and selfish her husband was.
The duchess tried to respond, to defend herself and explain her feelings, but the duke interrupted her with a mocking laugh and threatened her with even harsher consequences.
"I think it's about time you learned a lesson, my dear Duchess. If you want to play with fire, you will suffer the burns. From now on, I will lock you in the attic, where you can reflect on your mistakes and appreciate the privilege of being my wife."
The duchess's heart sank in her chest as she listened to her husband's words. She was dragged by the servants to the dark and gloomy attic, where she was locked in, surrounded by shadows and silence. Sadness and frustration enveloped her as she struggled to find a way out of her prison.
For the only time she got the duke's attention and when she finally believed she would be able to confess her deep feelings for the albino, she was once again ruined by the man who claimed to be her husband on paper and not in actions.
However, in the midst of the darkness, the duchess found a glimmer of hope even if she did not know it. In her womb, a life was growing, oblivious to the strife and strife that plagued her world.
Meanwhile, Gojo continued to visit the beach every day, putting aside his responsibilities as monarch of the oceans. However, his heart was saddened to see that the duchess did not come to meet him. Although he had never revealed his true identity to her, he longed to do so, but she had left that night after they had given themselves to each other.
As the days passed without news of the duchess, pessimistic thoughts began to consume Gojo. He wondered if she had regretted everything they had shared, if the kiss and tender caresses they had exchanged had been in vain. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, but he knew there was nothing he could do to change the situation. With his heart full of pain, he decided to return to Atlantis, his kingdom, leaving behind the beach that had witnessed their frustrated love.
Ժ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴
Days later, the duke finally released the duchess from her confinement, warning her not to try anything beyond his control. She nodded submissively, aware that her dream of divorce and freedom from that toxic relationship was fading because of the political and business implications it would entail. Meanwhile, the duchess was beginning to suspect that she was pregnant, but did not mention it to the duke.
In an oversight by the duke, when he left to meet his mistress, the duchess seized the opportunity and escaped. She carried with her the necklace that Satoru had given her, hoping that he would respond when she wanted to see him. However, to her despair, there was no response. Plunged in pain and confusion, the duchess found herself in the middle of the beach, crying and shouting her anguish to the wind.
In that instant, the duchess understood that she was alone and that she must face her uncertain future on her own. Heartbroken and with the weight of her pregnancy on her shoulders, she clung to the only certainty she had: the life growing inside her. Determined to protect her child and find her own path, the duchess set out to face the challenges ahead, not knowing if she would ever again cross paths with those who had marked her life so profoundly.
Ժ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴ ╴
A year had passed since that stormy encounter on the beach. The duchess lived in a constant state of discomfort and pain, estranged from Satoru. The two had grown apart due to a misunderstanding that had fueled bitterness in their hearts.
The duchess, determined to protect her daughter from the duke's toxic influence, raised her in secret, keeping her hidden in the duchy's secluded mansion. The little girl, barely a year old, was her greatest treasure and the reason she had found the strength to carry on.
Meanwhile, the duke had formalized his relationship with his mistress by making her his official wife. The duchess, relegated to being the second wife, suffered in silence, feeling her position and power slowly fading away.
The duchess had made the decision to raise her daughter alone, without depending on the duke or Satoru. Despite the pain and disappointment that filled her heart, she found the strength to give all the love and care to her little girl. She knew that her daughter deserved a better future, far from the power games and toxic relationships that had marked her own life.
As the baby girl grew, the duchess found joy in every smile and every accomplishment. Motherhood had become her refuge, a source of hope and unconditional love.
Time marched on and the duchess clung to the hope that someday, both she and Satoru would be able to leave the pain and mistrust behind although at this point that was a simple wish that faded over the years. For the moment, however, their anger and suffering kept them apart, with no possibility of reconciliation.
The Duchess, full of determination and courage, faced each day with her head held high, ready to protect her daughter and forge a new destiny for both of them. Although the shadow of the duke and his lover was still there, she refused to be swept away by it. She knew that she had found strength in herself and in the unconditional love that her little daughter gave her. Together, they would face any challenge that life threw at them.
Well, although misunderstandings have separated them, it will not change the desire that both feel for each other...
There's no beauty without ends No creation with no mends A new silent wish, will cast aside our pain Distancing side by side in vain
Reflecting no more anguish by your side A contradiction worthy to abide Remnants of us ebb and flow A glimpse of love just waiting
Oh, a neverending hope to mend it all Flow, let our time remain and wait for voids to fall
Ascending through the motions It would seem as though they'd last Admitting to our questions And doubts thrown at the past
There's no rightness in pretend Finding comfort once again Wish the days would pass, just yearning for our fate Yet there is solace to be found within dismay
Disowning feelings of grief through these tides A complicated love I'd dare not hide Turbulences come and go But won't reject me whole
Oh, a bittersweet vision through me that befalls Know that despite our voids I swear to hold it all
While sinking through this ocean I would wonder why you'd ask Accepting our affection I just knew that it would last
I want to be right where you are I want to be right where you are I want to be right where you are I want to be right where you are
Touch, the heavens and the skies alight (I want to be right where you are) Breathe, the entire universe shines bright (I want to be right where you are)
I want to be right where you are I want to be right where you are...

I hope Your gods have mercy, because I won’t

Finished a big ol scene for my Triton/water elemental guy. Don’t even have a campaign but I just wanted to do a fun scene while I’m experimenting a little. Pretty pleased with how it turned it, although I need to work on my values a bit more I still like the vibe I got.
\/\/\/\/Close ups!! \/\/\/\/

alright big obnoxious nwos ideas factory has returned im so sorry. and just a disclaimer before i start this isn't something i expect to happen at all its just something i'd want to see
so i know ppl are mixed about whether or not they think lmj/lmda should be retconned in nwos, personally i don't think it should, mostly bc i see hilarious potential in steam bison being where luke and marina first meet. marina IS from america so its not impossible
cause like i LOVE the idea of marina and luke starting off as rivals, like maybe marina was steam bison's original puzzle solving golden child but now theres this horrible little bri'ish boy that's her age that is hogging her limelight and marina and luke become rivals immediately on who can solve more puzzles to invent more things for steam bison
and then when layton enters the picture marina is like "whats wrong triton are you so terrified of my studious whimsy that you had to ask your grampappy for help" which just fires luke up even more
and maybe make some team rocket shit with it where if you quit on a puzzle marina has a chance to steal it from you or some shit which will add an incentive to keep players from giving up too easily lest marina spawn in to roast you
and then eventually throughout the story marina and luke just kind of fall into working together because above their rivalry they realize their main goal has always been helping steam bison and even though they cannot stop bickering no matter what they bond over that common goal
and then idk maybe at the end of the game luke is like "blimey marina you sure were ace back there golly crikey i gotta say you really are knockout with puzzles" and marinas just like "your insufferable squirrely britishness is growing on me like a fungus. i guess there are worst things in this world than us working together"
and like then idk maybe layton sees himself and claire in them, but in like a good, non-traumatic way. and that gives him peace with her and allows him to leave steam bison feeling like luke has found his own way, which is all he wanted for him throughout the game
and that ending could like explain how luke and marina ended up solving mysteries together as stated in lmda, and is nwos does well you could have luke and marina as older teenagers in future entries and develop them from friends who work together to the cringefail unemployed malewife and longcon cult-infiltrating girlblogger they are in lmda
idk i just really want to see them do more with marina because as fucking boss as it was for her to pretend to be a cultist for over a decade just to save her loser husband in lmda, they never really showed the determination and bite in her personality that it would take to do that. i want them to take her out of the anime wife personality box they put her in during lmda and make something of her
