to start with, hello Minty how are you? now, I just got a skin idea for FG acting as an A quality skin, to add it even fits with Norton's backstory, which is a deduction star skin based on The Miner (Harry Warden) from the movie, My Bloody Valentine (1981), not only how Harry Warden in the movie is known as, but the fact he also suffered from an accident in the mines, in which he got trapped inside, similar to Norton except this one blew it up and with Harry the structure collapsed, it led to The Miner to murder the others that were atrapped with him to conserve air, so, why FG? it's because mostly for the look he has, the fact that Harry has super-human strenght managing to throw a pickaxe one handed and even fight off three young adults at their peak and to add, he's practically an evil side from a victim that survived an encounter with him and thus it ended up with Harry returning from death in a psychological way, mostly to murder in valentine's day, hope you enjoyed this lil rant :) take care!
THIS ASK GOES SO HARD I HAAAAAAAAAD TO DROP EVERYING AND DRAW THIS OH MY GOOOOOSHHHH 🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌
Tumblr media
but HI ANON ;w; I am doing just fine thanks for asking~ 💞🥹🥹💞
NOW THIS IDEA SLAPS BROOOOOO SLAAAAAAPS I TELL YAAA 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏and it works SHOCKINGLY WELL LOL like BY GOSH 👀 the side that takes over after a traumatic event oh my GOSH
I can see this Fool's Gold as the version that pops up after Da Capo after that being punched to a pulp business that Orpheus THINKS he did to Norton. But Norton coming back like this and a mask to cover the damage that was done (the scar he basically did himself, but the damage from the punches from Nightmare? unforgivable). Revenge time bby.
b'aaawwwwww YOU TAKE CARE AS WELL! Thank you FOR THE DOPE ASK AAAHHH ✨👏👏👏👏👏🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌✨

The debut of Isra Hurmanli of Turkey on our network was on January 12. Not a great smoker, but her beauty is essentially unsurpassed. Some may be as attractive as she; few would be even marginally more gorgeous! The 24 y.o. model is addicted to cigarettes!
ISRA HURMANLI RETURNS FOR HER SECOND VIDEO WITH OUR NETWORK!
Sixteen days passed since the introduction of Isra Hurmanli to our friends, fans and followers of our four SF-content blogs/vlogs/webpages. We're glad she's back. Did have nearly an hour-long Zoom meeting with the entire crew ⏤ 10 staff members and the 3 administrators ⏤ within a few days of her discovery on January 10, 2024 and we began the planning process on how to deliver her rare beauty yet mediocre smoking to you all carrying forward. We lost access to three simply marvelous videos of her when their host YouTube webpage, which had been online for longer than a year, disappeared, "like a fart in the wind," as actor Robert Gunton's character in Shawshank Redemption (1994) Warden Samuel Norton said. That termination occurred before the weekend!
This was uploaded to the YouTube "Misra 1 Isra Hurmanli" webpage on January 20, 2024 but was 16:54 in duration, so we edited it down to focus on the minimal smoking ⏤ barely a handful of drags and exhales. Isra is purposely trying to keep it in the background as to not distract from the theme of her video. She is 24 y.o. Earliest photo/video of her on [email protected] is from six years ago, and there's more than the expected age progression. Work might have been done in modifying her face, perhaps her nose.

subjects you to warden essence b tier talk
okay so like, i really love the b tiers of wardens essence the design for all the characters is strongly tied together, i enjoy our b tier cast is all in there as prisoners and matching i have a lot of say actually about each and the insects/arachnid theyre subjected to i love majority of all the cast and need to gush about it i have a lot of say actually about each and the insects/arachnid theyre subjected to i love majority of all the cast and need to gush about it
Tumblr media
even altrusitic ganji is there, as worker bee
mirroring his true backstory, the description especially "They praise my patience while pulling out my stinger." bees only attack once feeling threatened, to defend the hive and queen that worker bees quote " They act as nurse bees taking care of the young bees and the queen, as housekeepers who work to clean and expand the hive and as foragers and scouts who bring back food and seek out new hive locations. As a worker ages, it takes on different roles inside and outside of the hive." taking care of the young, who seek out new locations, it just makes me think of his trailer particularly for the 'pulling out my stinger' its not just that bees die once their stingers are used…Bees can actually sting insects multiple times "they also have stingers, but they can only sting mammals once and then they die. They can, however, sting other insects over and over again to protect the hive." that mammals have thick skin that they cant pull their stinger out of. causing them to die when trying to pull it out that theyre pulling out the stinger, these 'gentleman' [the wolves theyre portrayed as in his trailer his stinger to be caught] he only struck out of necessity- out of hostility from the other even when he waited to strike, his patience can only last so long
Tumblr media
Vera [my love and personal favorite girl] as scorpion all about reflection of the self- of who/what she isnt "When I look at myself in the mirror, I wonder if I should show more kindness to others." in her description
a woman cast out continually by others around treated as lesser of the two sisters and odd, to have her interests dashed by her own parents over and over, that no one 'cared' Chloe Nair disappeared, that she could play the part of vera "The vast majority of scorpions are nonsocial, solitary animals that interact only at birth, during courtship, or for cannibalism." cannibalism, to not just eating another but if we want we can even infer the whole 'there can only be one scorpion. eating the twin. taking that place of territory.
Tumblr media
jack as a centipede- which are natural hunters and aggressive by nature purposeful in chasing prey Description: "Mind your temperance in hunting; only then can you enjoy everlasting fun." the painted on red grin of his face. he's remorseless. this is all ripper and how he thrives as the predator, that for him this is his entertainment. its almost funny hes a prisoner here to be 'reformed' when he shows no sign of care for his prey or what he did. The only one with a painted smile - red that could have been made to symbolize how he eats his prey and thats blood
Tumblr media
Norton as Ant Description: "What has group living taught me? To enjoy competition and embrace pressure? Or one should possess charity to avoid being perceived as evil."
the 2nd blatant piece of information before fools gold drop about how being around those other miners weren't that nice, competition and pressure? how he would help his family before fully leaving when he seemed to be a caring boy
like a miner ants both dig under the ground in careful crafted tunnels and hard workers but are also looked on upon with no empathy by many from kids to adults and regarded with disgust, trying to take the scraps to live and survive. That their lives hold no worth- especially with how many there are seen as pests even though they dont bite [except fire ants of course but this is just a regular ant]
Tumblr media
naiad as a mayfly which "They usually come out of the water at dawn or just before nightfall to transform into adults, but some species leave the water at midday. Males usually surface well before the females" they are completely water 'born' bugs if you want to say. they went so far to make sure all these insects/arachnids [scorpions are arachnids did you know] are so well thought out to fit these characters
Description: "If fate favors those with diligence, why do I remain drifting on treacherous waters?" Shes the only one who in this line up hasnt been clearly identified as a 'killer' however thinking back to her original story is the drought enough reason to place the charge of manslaughter on her if people are deprived of enough resources they starve? or will we find something later
what we will find in future grace letters, her debut S shes to take the lives of the wretched in her b tier here she had to have killed someone to end up here matching the other prisoners in that regard
in rosemary shes aligned with uriel labs and the death of bella donna among who knows who else that dm caused from the employees work

Riverdale Thoughts: 3x06
PEEP SHOW! Please, I am the Barchiest of stans so like yes to all of it. Anyway, thoughts.
Jughead is not interesting to me rn if he's not with Veronica and since that's currently over... (Also like I better see him kiss Ethel properly at least ONCE omg before Tabitha comes back ofc bc Tabitha)
What I wouldn't give to have a window's view into Archie Andrew's bedroom wow
50's Archie is honestly the best Archie, it's so good
Betty and Veronica should kiss again in the 50's as a treat.
Also, Archie and Jughead have to kiss before the show ends to complete the circle or else!!!
Surprise Evelyn Evernever is really out here saying things like "lezzie" honestly Toni should punch her.
Can you dig it?
Cheryl's face of both gay excitement and gay fear when Toni asked if she could show her some appreciation.
It lives in my head rent free forever now
I did absolutely rewind mid episode to watch that part again bc idk it was giving everything.
50's Toni is so hot
Is Fangs Elvis yet?
There is no difference between Cheryl, Evelyn, and Midge and Regina, Gretchen, and Karen. Don't @ me
I love new Midge tbqh
I'm tired of Julian, he was only fun for like one episode lmao
Someone should top him so he can cum to jesus
Veronica is really that bitch and I am here for it like yes absolutely allow me in your room to peep on the hot carrot top next door
I need to see Veronica and Jughead hook up properly once PLEASE
Dan and Blair got to (IN AN ELEVATOR)
I am not sure what order I'm remembering all of this in
Betty not feeling the lingerie at first is me anytime I buy something different from what I usually where so it just sits in my closet for eternity
Toni and Betty should kiss also
I'm gonna need Archie and farmboy Reggie to also kiss at some point as they are actually boyfriends
Anyway, the cringe dialogue about maybe ending up in our rooms at the same time was incredible
Archie saying he's excited is too adorable
Still thinking about how he snatched Betty's teddy bear to cover his boner when she felt up his thigh
Incredible really
Oh and also, why is Frank? I'm so over him completely. He sucks. Just let Mary do all of the parenting. More Molly!
Frank was at least hot with the like beard this mustache is not it
The gifsets of Archie and Betty undressing for each other in the window are my everything rn
As are the ones of Cheryl and Toni kissing!!!!!!
Does this mean the episode where they are going to bone is coming soon?
Please say yes
Back to the window stripping - what are Frank and Hal doing that they both barged into those rooms at the same time
I'm telling you the white men in this season are up to some shit. Principal Warden Norton, Francis Dupont Werthers, MAYOR Clifford Blossom, Basketball Coach Uncle Frank, HAL
God for some reason Hal
A terrible actor
TBK should've been Hal or his twin bc he is also a blossom so like why do the coopers not have twins Hal??
It was so disappointing but whatever I digress
Even tho I hate Hal
Also save Ethel?? We just threw her back to the sisters and? We've moved onto comics from the murders.
BRING BACK MY GIRL
Give her a proper full season storyline for once ffs
You give Kevin things and he's not even remotely interesting at all
Loved and episode with no Kevin tbqh
Anyway, the ending with Archie and Betty getting caught is in my top like 3 endings rn
One is the very precious moment where Archie ASKED if he could kiss Josie (it was adorable they are my crackOTP okay)
I think I've stopped thinking about this episode and instead am thinking about the whole show
We must stop before I never stop
I hope Archie and Betty kiss soon also

January 3rd 1959 saw the death of the poet and scholar Edwin Muir.
He was was born on a farm in Deerness , Orkney Islands in the remote northeast of Scotland. In 1901, when he was 14, his father lost the farm and the family moved to Glasgow. In Glasgow first his father, then his two brothers, and then his mother died in the space of a few years. His life as a young man in Glasgow was a depressing experience for him, involving a succession of unpleasant jobs. In 1919 he married Willa Anderson (they would later collaborate on English translations of such writers as Franz Kafka and Hermann Broch) and moved to London. From 1921 - 1923 he was in Prague, Dresden, Italy, Salzburg and Vienna; he returned to England in 1924. Between 1925 and 1956 Muir published seven volumes of poetry which were collected after his death and published in 1991 as The Complete Poems of Edwin Muir. From 1927 to 1932 he published three novels and in 1935 he came to St. Andrews where he produced his controversial Scott and Scotland (published in 1936). From 1946-1949 he was Director of the British Council in Prague and Rome. 1950 saw his appointment as Warden of Newbattle Abbey College (college for working class men) near Edinburgh and in 1955 he was made Norton Professor of English at Harvard University. He returned to England in 1956 but died in 1959 at Swaffam Priory , Cambridge and was buried near Cambridge.
His childhood in remote and unspoiled Orkney represented an idyllic "Eden" to Muir, while his family's move to the city corresponded in his mind to a deeply disturbing encounter with the "fallen" world. The emotional tensions of that dichotomy shaped much of his work and deeply influenced his life. His psychological distress led him to undergo Jungian analysis in London. A vision in which he witnessed the Creation strengthened the Edenic myth in his mind, leading him to see his life as an individual and his career as a poet as a working-out of archetypal fable. In his Autobiography he wrote, "the life of every man is an endlessly repeated performance of the life of man"; our deeds on earth constitute "a myth which we act almost without knowing it." Alienation, paradox, the existential dyads of good and evil, life and death, love and hate, and images of journeys, labyrinths, time and places fill his work.
His Scott and Scotland advanced the claim that Scotland can only create a national literature by writing in English; an opinion which placed him in direct opposition to the Lallans movement of Hugh MacDiarmid. He had little sympathy for Scottish nationalism. Remembered for his deeply felt and vivid poetry in plain, unostentatious language with few stylistic preoccupations, Muir is a relatively little known but significant modern poet. In 1965 a volume of his selected poetry was edited and introduced by T. S. Eliot. An excellent essay discussing Muir's literary career (Edwin Muir?s Journey, by Robert Richman ) is available in the online archives of The New Criterion. Many of Edwin and Willa Muir's translations of German novels are still in print.
Edwin Muir died in Cambridge on this day in 1959 and is buried in the churchyard of St Mary, Swaffham Prior, the village in which he spent his final years in Priory Cottage, directly opposite the churchyard. Muir is also remembered in St Magnus Cathedral, Kirkwall, Orkney

IDV AU MASTERLIST
for my own reference mostly. subject to update and change.
-
Hot Spring: Consort
In the warm, soothing water of the hot spring, in the arms of their regal lover, they can allow themself to indulge in a rare moment of rest and relaxation.
A accessory: Gilded vines - replaces Thorn ability to produce a wall of gold grapevines
Ship: Rosario/Luchino/Bane (Consort/Spring Heated Wine/Cerynitis’ Bane), platonic with Margaretha (Aromatherapy Sauna)
D&D: Wood Elf Ranger
Ship: Rosario/Luchino (Wood Elf Ranger/Dragonborn Warrior) and/or Rosario/Luchino/Andrew (Wood Elf Druid/Dragonborn Warrior/)
Unstructured D&D miscellany. 
Castle Zinaida's Unfinished Chapter (real world): Callum
Ship: Rosario/Andrew (Callum/Pastor)
Callum is Pastor’s spouse, attending Zinaida's funeral at his side to assist and comfort him. They are quick to jump to his defense, but seem to have very little to say otherwise. 
Castle Zinaida's Unfinished Chapter (Manuscript): Elven Druid
They are devoted to the study and worship of the World Tree. The enlightenment they have achieved allows them to reflect the World Tree’s light and illuminate the hearts of others. 
Ship: Rosario/Andrew (Elven Druid/Half-Elf Knight)
Belief in the World Tree was what brought the Druid and the Knight together, and soon that devotion extended to each other as well. The Druid seems oblivious to the Knight’s differences, either blinded by adoration or able to see something in him that may not be immediately apparent to others. They gladly join him on his quest to offer their healing abilities. 
Old West: Conservationist
This majesty of this pristine, rugged land must be documented before that land-grabbing Baron destroys it for his own selfish gain!
Ship: Rosario/Andrew/Norton (Conservationist/Desert Sand/Gold Digger)
The Conservationist arrives in the dusty boomtown alone but determined despite their lack of financial support to aid their cause. They take up a ramshackle residence along with a roommate, a Gold Digger (but there was only one bed), and get to work documenting everything and everything they can as the reverberations from the dynamite explosions ring louder and louder each day. Then an angel appears in the form of a masked man who, while harboring different motives, shares the Conservationist’s goal of ousting the Land Baron who is destroying the land and the lives of the people who live on it.
Railway: Head Attendant
The train may hurtle onward along a set track, but there are still ways to change its course, be it a simple turned switch or some great force. 
Ship: Rosario/Andrew (Head Attendant/Train Conductor), familial w/ Robbie (Ivan), platonic w/ Joker (Train Driver)
After the murder of a nobleman on his watch, the anxious Conductor places the surviving young Lord in the care of the Head Attendant, the Conductor’s own spouse. They quickly become immensely fond of their new charge and are determined to protect him by any means should the murderer try to strike again.
Alchemists’ Cult: Acolyte
They don't see the alchemical creations as “monsters” at all. In the Acolyte’s mind, the real monsters are the wardens of this gilded prison.  
Ship: Rosario/Andrew/Luchino (Acolyte/Choir Boy/Mutation), platonic w/ Luca (Electrolysis) and Antonio (Orobouros) 
Life is simple for the Acolyte. They live within the hallowed walls of the old cathedral, earning their keep through their servitude and kindling a blossoming romance with a quiet but sweet Choir Boy. That is until the day they wander into the cathedral’s secret dungeon and inadvertently stumble across the lair of the Alchemists. Overseen by the Priest, the Alchemists have succeeded in finding the formula to make gold as well as other, more sinister creations; a pair of monsters known as Orobouros and Mutation, now imprisoned by their former colleagues to keep their secret from the outside world. When caught, the Acolyte is charged with the task of seeing to the prisoners’ needs, and in doing so becomes more and more fond of the two until they decide to free them by any means necessary. Mutation begins to teach the Acolyte how to cultivate their own alchemic abilities, and the two become close. When the time is right, there will be a jailbreak, and in exchange the monsters promise to take both the Acolyte and their Choir Boy along. 
CoA 4: Examiner 
Along with their husband, they collect the bodies of deceased racers to determine their exact causes of death and the effects of any drugs in their systems, then report their findings back to the Pharmaceutical Company. 
Ship: Rosario/Andrew/Norton (Examiner/Cruiser/Highway Cavalier), hinted Rosario/Bane (Examiner/Molten Hound), familial w/ Robbie (Crazed Fans)
The Cruiser is only vaguely known to the racers. He is something of a grim reaper, collecting the bodies of racers who have perished on the course. What the racers don’t know is that he brings these bodies to his partner for autopsy. It is far from an ideal life, but it is enough to keep a roof over the couple’s heads. Their world is knocked off axis, however, when the Cruiser inadvertently retrieves a survivor, a man known as the Highway Cavalier. The Examiner takes it upon themself to mend him, and as they do so both they and their husband form an attachment to the stranger they have welcomed into their home. 
CoA 6: Cosmetic artist 
They are content to stay out of the spotlight and let their work speak for them.
Ship: Rosario/Luchino/Andrew (Cosmetic Artist/Prosthetic Makeup/Space Mining), platonic w/ Ganji (Paratrooper), Joker (Heavy Bomber), and Orpheus/Nightmare (Screenwriter/Fan Visit)
The Cosmetic Artist is not unaware of the sinister plot behind the show - their own partner has already been deeply affected by the mysterious newcomer’s strange influence, changed beyond recognition by anyone save themself. What they could not have predicted was that they and all their colleagues would be launched into space with no way to return. Every member of the studio is faced with the decision to try to protect each other from becoming the next sacrifice, or to simply wait until it is their turn.
CoA7: Patient Zero
Initially their finding was lauded as the discovery of a lifetime, but now they are left to pay the hefty price. 
Ship: Rosario/Luchino/Andrew (Patient Zero/Emergency Transport/Withered Leaf)
By the time Rosario realized the danger of the fungus they had discovered, it was too late. They and their husband decided that they should be put into stasis until he can find a cure. When all hope seems lost, a stranger appears and offers a chance to reverse the damage that has been done. 
Castle Banquet Mystery: Familiar
I could never bear to see someone go hungry.
Ship: Rosario/Norton (Familiar/Wanderer)
Caught out in the moors on a dark and stormy night, Rosario has the good sense to avoid the foreboding old castle and instead seek shelter in a humble shack at the edge of town. To their surprise, the shack is also inhabited by a vampire - albeit one who resides on the bottom rung of the vampiric social hierarchy. Sick of scrounging for a living like an animal, the Wanderer offers Rosario a deal: become his Familiar, and receive enough power to protect themself against those they were running from.
Oasis Marketplace: Dove
Doves are loyal to their partners throughout their lives.
Ship: Rosario/Luchino (Dove/Falconer)
A simple and sweet AU in which an herbalist and a Falconer fall for each other across the oasis marketplace.
Academy Faculty: Natural History Teacher
Ship: Rosario/Andrew/Norton
Self-indulgent AU to go with Academy Cafe. 
-–
Golden Rose Theater: Set Designer 
For the stars to shine, they must have a proper backdrop.
Ship: Rosario/Norton (Set Designer/Ronald of Nice)
Norton is a renowned actor currently starring in a play for which Rosario is the set designer. They’re utterly starstruck, while Norton’s attention is focused on the anonymous letters and flowers that keep showing up in his dressing room. 
Nobility AU: Host
It’s Mx. Diruse. Lord Diruse is my husband. He is preoccupied at the moment and not accepting visitors, so I will be entertaining guests for the evening.
Ship: Rosario/Luchino/Norton (Host/Horrendous/Mr. Mole)
It was supposed to be an ordinary transaction: the sale of some land owned by a businessman to a nobleman. But upon arriving at the Lord’s estate, Mr. Campbell is informed by the Lord’s spouse that their husband is not receiving guests. The stubborn businessman goads the somewhat mousey Mx. Diruse into putting him up for a few days. It isn’t long, however, before he realizes the Diruses are harboring a secret beyond anything he could have imagined. 
Dragon Hunter: Researcher
Together with their husband, they gather information on magical beings. Both share a particular interest in Dragons. 
Ship: Rosario/Luchino (Researcher/Verifyer) 
Fantasy adventure AU feat. nerds being nerds. 
Dream Walker/Soul Catcher AU
Ship: Rosario/Luchino/Norton
Two entities rarely seen by mortal eyes vye for the energy produced by the same human. The three spend enough time together to become close.
Candyland: Pavlova
An airy, sweet treat that melts in your mouth. They are not as delicate as they may appear.
Ship: Rosario/Andrew/Ganji (Pavlova/Cheese/Lava Cake), familial w/ Robbie (Marshmallow)

The Shawshank Redemption
How do you talk about a movie that's been praised as much as Frank Darabont's The Shawshank Redemption? Well, there's always more to say, especially for a film that leaves you in awe every time you watch it. For those who haven't seen it, they might think of it as "that prison movie with Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman." Trust me, you're missing out if that's all you know. This isn't just another prison flick; it's a deeply emotional and thought-provoking masterpiece that explores the human spirit's resilience. The movie starts with the wrongful conviction of banker Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) for the murder of his wife and her lover. He's sent to Shawshank State Penitentiary, where he meets Red (Morgan Freeman), a long-time inmate who "knows how to get things." Together, they form a strong friendship that anchors the film. The choices they make and the relationships they forge create a rich tapestry of character development, making us care about their fate deeply. Darabont's direction and screenplay, adapted from Stephen King's novella, are top-notch. The pacing is excellent, allowing us to experience both the passage of time and the character's growth. The cinematography by Roger Deakins is absolutely breathtaking, with its moody, dark tones and excellent use of shadows, creating a stark contrast between the bleakness of prison life and the hope that lies within the characters. The acting in this movie is truly exceptional. Tim Robbins delivers a powerful performance as Andy, a man who never gives up hope despite his dire circumstances. Morgan Freeman's portrayal of Red is nothing short of iconic, with his smooth, soothing voice narrating the story and providing insight into life at Shawshank. The supporting cast, including Bob Gunton as the tyrannical Warden Norton and Clancy Brown as the brutal Captain Hadley, bring depth and nuance to their roles. The film is filled with memorable moments that showcase a range of filmmaking techniques. The iconic scene where Andy plays Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro" over the prison's PA system is an excellent example of the power of music in cinema. It's a brief moment of beauty and freedom in an otherwise oppressive environment, and the choice to use this particular piece of music is a testament to Darabont's understanding of storytelling. Another standout scene is when Andy reveals his escape plan to Red. The sequence is cleverly constructed, with Darabont using editing, sound design, and visual storytelling to reveal the details of Andy's ingenious scheme. This moment adds a layer of excitement and tension, making the audience root for Andy even more. What makes The Shawshank Redemption stand out is its ability to blend drama, emotion, and hope in a seemingly hopeless situation. It's a beautiful exploration of friendship, redemption, and the power of the human spirit. The film's conclusion is a masterful piece of storytelling that leaves the viewer with a sense of satisfaction and the belief that good can triumph even in the darkest of times. Whether you love or hate prison movies, The Shawshank Redemption is a must-watch. It transcends its genre and offers something for everyone – a powerful story, outstanding performances, and expert filmmaking. This movie has rightfully earned its place in the annals of cinema history, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a film that will touch their heart and leave them feeling inspired.
A feel-good masterpiece, 9/10 :)
