I wanna learn more about Blessing / Boreas. What’s up with all the bat flies with him? What’s his city like?
-rubs my hands together like a fly- uuuuuu boy, time to shake my blatantly favorite child Hell yeah huhuhuhuhuuu
the batflies enter the scene a good while after the Mass Ascension- they are his coping mechanism after Zephyr collapses and goes dark!
from the comic where they talk about Euros' n Sparrows' relationship, one can probably guess how close these two are. Boreas might be the big scary dog of the whole Eo family that punches things in the face rather than take any miniscule amount of shit, but when it comes to Zephyr he is very open and sweet. she's the only person who can actually influence his opinions and ideas greatly, because he loves and trusts her enough to allow her to do so. so when she collapses, he takes it the worst out of everyone. in a very quiet way. his pain if for him to keep, nobody else can know he's hurting
bear witness to Ňuňu
this lil shit was basically Boreas' therapy dog. just.. very very feckin teeny
child...
she is as smart as your typical bat, but the thing was that when she accidentally made her way into his chamber, he didn't have much will in himself to send the animal to eeby deeby so she got to flutter about. and as animals do, girlie used the empathy trap card to figure out this person who doesn't seem to be posing any danger is Sad. so she landed on his head, crawled up to look into his eyes and chirped
n that was the straw that broke the camel's back and Boreas had his first grief-inflicted breakdown ever. Ňuňu stayed during it and even after it, so emotionally-empty-feeling Boreas decided to take her in. hardly can replace Zephyr, but at least he isn't alone
Ňuňu later brought friends and Bee decided that he will look after them then. even after Ňuňu passes away, he still houses and raises them. the younglings like sleeping on his antennas so he has to watch himself to not move them too much sometimes. Euros has a folder full of photos like that
to his city- the name kush is:
originally from me looking for latin words for Rage. ended up going with Desaevio, because Bee is indeed positioned in a fitting place for the word
and the storm connection plus the last two are the main reasons why the Ancients called the city as such. after project Abet Zephyr ended in such a failure, they had to vent some stuff out. and we are going to claim that it is anger because that isn't as pitiful as shame or embarrassment
(the fact that almost every translator i put it into gives me "i'm sorry" works wonderfully, too. because what else will ultimately Boreas do, but quietly mutter to himself a mantra of apologies when he'll be lying in his chamber 30 seconds from his death, drowning in his regrets and mistakes?)
Desaevio was capable of comfortably supporting over 5 million people (no other Iterator city ever reaches that far- the max is ambitious Gen 3 cities that only ever reached around an estimate of 2.7 million) but at times housed over 6-7 million. despite lying close to the geographical location of Bergen in real life, Desaevio is very far from reaching such nice vibes (the old towns Boreas' structure overshadows come close, though). it is way closer to New York, but more dystopian. if u look up dystopian city on google images u get to see pretty closely what it looked like. combine it with Coruscant from star wars for bonus authencity with the layering
made up of skyscrapers, with endless layered bridges for means of transport (most commonly expres trains), with what little decoration of the buildings chipped away by time without anybody caring enough to restore the beauty- the grey, gloomy expanse of Desaevio is as majestic to witness as it is absolutely harrowing
with it being a layered city and one with Boreas' consciousness/structure, some wonder when does one truly leaves the borders of the city and enters the giant's actual insides. it's hard to tell, with old models of Iterators not being all that enclosed and isolated like Five Pebbles is. there is no karma gate to tell you when exactly the walls turn from homes for people to homes for wires, tubes and alien-like organic life of a colossal Hivemind
despite the whole "Iterators are above the cloud level" thing, i like to imagine that it rains in Desaevio either way. at least- some levels are just straight up Wet like after rain. but it'd be those normal rains like we have, not the annihilating ones that the old towns need to bear with down below. or maybe it's just the upper layers' waste water seeping through the ceilings
most of light of the lower levels comes from streetlights, neon signs and Boreas' own systems once deep enough
cameras and such security systems litter all the streets and every public room- and the private homes are still accessable by overseers- and All of that feeds directly into Boreas' memory cache
this omnipresence is why Boreas later suffers with the fuckin
nobody is as unhappy with Boreas' omnipresence as Boreas himself. no wonder he's always ticked off, imagine being a witness to All of New York's road rage 24/7

IkeVamp Vintage Love Songs 🎶🎩💕 (part 1)
You read that alright.
VINTAGE SONGS FTW!
Because I’m a sucker (get it?) for romance, here are some old songs that suit the IkeVamp characters, when in love.
Arthur, Mozart, Vincent, Jean, Isaac and Comte under the cut.
𝓐𝓻𝓽𝓱𝓾𝓻 𝓒. 𝓓𝓸𝔂𝓵𝓮
"𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘩𝘺", 𝘣𝘺 𝘕𝘢𝘵 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘦
All day long you're asking me what I see in you
All day long I'm answering but what good does it do?
I have nothing to explain
I just love you, love you, and I'll tell you once again
I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't know why, I just do
I don't know why you thrill me like you do
I don't know why, you just do
You never seem to want my romancing
The only time you hold me is when we're dancing
I don't know why I love you like I do
I don't know why, I just do
𝓦𝓸𝓵𝓯𝓰𝓪𝓷𝓰 𝓐. 𝓜𝓸𝔃𝓪𝓻𝓽
"𝘠𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘢 𝘩𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘮𝘦", 𝘣𝘺 𝘔𝘦𝘭 𝘛𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘦
Every kiss, every hug, seems to act just like a drug
You're getting to be a habit with me
Let me stay in your arms, I’m addicted to your charms
You're getting to be a habit with me
I used to think your love was something that I could take or leave alone
But now I couldn't do without my supply
I need you for my own
Oh, I can't break away
I must have you every day
As regularly as coffee or tea
You've got me in your clutches
And I can't get free
You're getting to be a habit with me
𝓥𝓲𝓷𝓬𝓮𝓷𝓽 𝓥𝓪𝓷 𝓖𝓸𝓰𝓱
"𝘋𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶", 𝘣𝘺 𝘌𝘭𝘭𝘢 𝘍𝘪𝘵𝘻𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘥
And if I should paint a picture too
That showed the loveliness of you
My art would be like my heart and me
Dedicated to you
To you because your love is
The beacon that lights up my way
To you because with you I know
One lifetime could be just one heavenly place
If I should find a twinkling star
One half so wondrous as you are
That star would be like my heart and me
Dedicated to you
𝓙𝓮𝓪𝓷 𝓓' 𝓐𝓻𝓬
"𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘦", 𝘣𝘺 𝘍𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘬 𝘚𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘢
They're writing songs of love
But not for me
A lucky star's above
But not for me
With love to lead the way
I've found more clouds of grey
Than any Russian play could guarantee
I was a fool to fall and get that way
Heigh-ho! Alas! And also, lack-a-day
Although I can't dismiss the memory of her kiss
I guess she's not for me
𝓘𝓼𝓪𝓪𝓬 𝓝𝓮𝔀𝓽𝓸𝓷
"𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶", 𝘣𝘺 𝘉𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘊𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘣𝘺
How happy I would be
If I could speak my mind
Like others do.
I make such pretty speeches
Whenever we're apart.
But when you're near
The words I choose
Refuse to leave my heart.
So take the sweetest phrases
The world has ever known
And make believe
I've said them all to you.
𝓒𝓸𝓶𝓽𝓮 𝓭𝓮 𝓢𝓪𝓲𝓷𝓽-𝓖𝓮𝓻𝓶𝓪𝓲𝓷
"𝘊𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦, 𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶", 𝘣𝘺 𝘕𝘢𝘵 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘦
Cherie, Cherie, je t'aime
Cherie, listen again
I only know that I love you so
I can't pretend that I don't
You know
Cherie, Cherie, je t'aime
Do not say it's in vain
I love you, love you
That's all I need
When I whisper
Cherie, je t'aime
If you have any suggestions about what (vintage) songs to use next, don’t hesitate to tell me
⭐ Part 2 coming soon...? ⭐
