One Fateful Night On February 12th

Ollie's mom, Nadine Ramses (OC), wakes up in the middle of the night and realizes her water has broken two days early.

(Nadine is an OC and not canon as of the date of this fan-fiction; Physical descriptions of Lateef Ramses are not canon either)

Part of an ongoing series in honor of Mother's Day in the UK (March)

Content warning: Depictions of childbirth/ emergency surgery / infertility struggles, etc.

"Lateef! Lateef! Wake up!"

Lateef woke up with a start, running his hand through his dark grey curly hair. His hair was once dark and rich, but age was catching up to him.

"Heavens...what is is Nadine? What is it?"

"My water broke!"

"Wait, what? Isn't it early?"

"Our baby is coming! Lateef we have to hurry!"

She groans in pain as her contractions start up stronger than ever. She has woken up from the pain and felt soaked down below. At first, she thought it may have been an accident. She soon realized the truth.

She ran her hands through her short silver hair, clinging onto the strands she could grab. Her green eyes were filling with tears and her cheeks flushed with red from being overwhelmed. She began to wonder if it was worth wanting to get pregnant for all of these years. She was 39 and she was not prepared for this like she thought she would be.

Lateef was calmly, but frantically, summoning for all staff to prepare for them to leave for the hospital.

Drew came rushing to his side.

"Master Ramses, do not fret. I will ensure everything is handled. Our greatest priority will be preparing transportation for Mistress Nadine."

"Thank you Drew so much," Nadine said, smiling.

"You're most welcome."

Lateef approached his wife, who was panting and trying to breathe through her pain. She groaned in pain.

"The doctors said this would be a difficult labor because of your advanced age. They seem to be right."

"Lateef, be silent!"

He chuckled, always amused when his wife got angry.

"Yes, my love. I do apologize."

"You're not sorry in the slightest!"

"Oh, but I am. I was just trying to make conversation, that's all."

She groans again and he rubs her back, trying to offer some consultation.

"Master Ramses," Drew said, peeking back into the room, "Is there anything else you need from me?"

Little Laura, their adopted daughter, also peeked around the corner. She looked worried.

"Watch after Laura for us while we're gone," Lateef responded, "When the baby arrives, I will summon for you to bring her to us."

Nadine cried out again, a combination of a moan and a desperate cry.

"Mom! Are you okay?" Laura asked, worried.

"I'll be okay sweet girl," she comforted Laura, putting on a brave face, "Mom's just in labor. This will pass and soon your baby sibling will be here."

"Can I come with you to the hospital?" she asked.

"No, sweet girl," Lateef said, approaching her, rubbing the top of her head, "You shall stay here in the House of Ramses until we return."

"Come, Laura," Drew said, "Let me bring you back to your chambers."

"But I wanna go with Mom!"

"Now, Miss Laura," Drew said, "Both your mother and father have told you must remain here at home. Do as they say."

Nadine cried out. The labor pains were getting harder and faster.

Lateef looked worried. Were they going to make it to the hospital in time? Ignoring his fear, he picked up Nadine into his arms and carried her towards the transportation vehicle, and massive security, waiting for them. He could hear Laura calling for both of them and crying. He made a mental note to make it up to her at a later time...

===

"It's a good thing you two got here when you did. We need to bring you into emergency surgery, now."

Both Lateef and Nadine were not expecting that. They had just arrived into the delivery room, the mother-to-be was monitored for signs of preeclampsia, and now this.

"What's wrong? Is our baby alright?" Nadine frantically asked.

"Everything will be fine, Mrs. Ramses. We will need to bring you into surgery quickly."

As the doctor began to prepare to move Mrs. Ramses, to the operating room, Mr. Ramses stood in front of him.

"What is going on, exactly?" Lateef said, firmly, and with a tone of great command.

"Well," the doctor continued, choosing his words carefully, "We suspect the umbilical cord is wrapped around the baby. Because their heart rate is dropping fast—"

"Lateef! We must hurry! This baby must not die!"

The doctor nodded, finishing up preparations to move the bed to the operating room.

"Rest assured, Mrs. Ramses, we will do all we can."

"No! Not my precious baby!" she sobbed.

"Nadine," he husband said, trying to remain calm for her, "It's going to be alright. Don't panic. Please."

He knew why Nadine was reacting this way. They had lost at least two or three other babies in early pregnancy. Nadine had RH negative blood which caused issues since Lateef was RH positive. This baby in her womb, fighting for their life, was one of their last chances to have a biological child. They had made sure she had all of the treatments available to them to prevent her immune system from attacking the fetus. They had come so far. This unforeseen complication turned their lives upside down.

Lateef didn't once let go of her hand and the medical staff quickly prepared for an emergency C-section.

"No matter what happens, we will face it together like we always have," he said to her.

He briefly let go of her hand to get some tissues. When he came back, he helped wipe away her tears and her snot. She laughed.

"I bet I look like such a mess right now."

"Mr. Ramses, we must have your wife lay back so we can begin the surgery," the doctor said.

"Of course..."

Shortly afterwards, the mild anesthesia was dispensed and Nadine felt like she was in a half awake, half asleep state. She was conscious of the medical curtain in front of her, covering up what was going on, and of Lateef holding her hand.

One of the longest silences of their lives ensued aside from the voice of the doctor and medical team members. She strained to hear any evidence of any developments aside from the curtain moving slightly and the maneuvering of medical tools.

Nadine desperately wanted to ask what was going on, but didn't want to interrupt anything critical as the surgery was happening. She felt herself close her eyes, growing drowsy.

"We've got him out!"

Nadine snapped her eyes awake, hearing the doctor. She had no idea how long she had fallen asleep for.

"Come little guy. Breathe for us!" she could hear the doctor say, "Come on!"

Nadine was too drowsy to try and move, but she felt Lateef squeeze her hand tighter. They could both hear the medical staff try different ways to get the baby to take their first breath.

A baby's loud cry was heard.

"Oh my God..." Nadine sobbed, relieved.

Lateef kissed the top of her head, "He made it, sweetheart. Our precious baby is here at last."

"Mr. Ramses! You'll need to come do the honors of cutting the cord!"

Nadine wished she could see what was happening as her husband left her side, but she was grateful her baby boy was alive. She couldn't wait to see him.

"Oh. He's perfect," she could hear Lateef say, "I'm relieved he doesn't take after me. He looks just like his mother."

The medical staff chuckled softly.

"Oh, my love," she whispered, her heart entirely full.

Soon, the medical staff brought over her baby on a cart. He was bundled up securely to keep him warm.

"Congratulations Mrs. Ramses. Your baby boy is here," one of the nurses said.

He was the most beautiful baby she could have ever imagined. His eyes were tightly closed as he started to fuss and cry again.

When Lateef put his hand over him, the baby slowly stopped crying.

"I can tell our son loves and trusts his father the most," she said.

"Nonsense," he said, "He will surely love you the most out of the pair of us."

"I'm sorry to interrupt," another one of the nurses said, "We need to run a few more tests for the baby. But before we start, do you two have any ideas on a name?"

"I know the perfect name," Nadine smiled, "Oliver Ramses."

What's a piece that got a wildly different interpretation from what you intended?

Uh! Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Okay I don't full remember a bunch of my drawings I'll probably just rb this later if I think of a different one but rn off the top of my head is the plagues animatic

Because Good God all the comments going "oh tommy should've been ramses' voice" or "oh why is techno singing the villain part" or "uh the voice is actually god so technically they should be siding with Moses" like shhhhh shut your mouth shhhsuhsushhhh

Oh yes because techno would absolutely sing "this was my home. All this pain and devastation how it tortures me inside" like c'mon

"then let my heart be hardened, and never mind how high the cost may grow. This will still be so. I will never let your people go." Is totally a c!tommy line. Yep. Mhm. /s

The Wizard of Oz's Name

I was watching Jeopardy! today, and one of the categories was 'full names of imaginary characters.' One of the answers was the Wizard of Oz. Turns out this was his real name (from Wikipedia):

Oz explains that his real name is Oscar Zoroaster Phadrig Isaac Norman Henkle Emmannuel Ambroise Diggs. To shorten this name, he used only his initials (O.Z.P.I.N.H.E.A.D.), but since they spell out the word pinhead, he shortened his name further and called himself "Oz"

I don't think I ever thought about what the Wizard's real name might be when I watched the film. But if I did, I would have guessed it came from Shelley's poem "Ozymandias," about the Egyptian Pharoah Ramses II. Clearly that's wrong.

As I've written before, L. Frank Baum, the author of the Oz stories, was a follower of Madame Blavatsky, a founder of the Theosophical Society in 1875. Theosophy is a mystical movement that draws on the ideas of spiritual alchemy, and Baum's fantasy novels are exquisite examples of literary alchemy.

You can see the influence of alchemy in Baum's choice of names for the Wizard, who plays the role of the alchemist in the story: he transforms Dorothy and her companions.

"Zoroaster" is a nod to the Persian sage Zarathustra (fl. c. 1000 BCE), the founder of Zoroastrianism. Zoroaster is the Greek form of his name and the name by which he is known in European sources. Many alchemical ideas can be traced to Zoroastrianism, such as the Sacred Fire and the Four Elements, as I've written before.

More importantly, "Zoroaster" is a nod to the 1667 alchemical work Zoroaster's Cave.

So "Zoroaster" is a clear alchemy reference. "Diggs" might be alchemical as well. In the original treatises of physical alchemy, the would-be alchemist, the adept, is told to seek the philosopher's stone by digging under the earth. Think of the seven dwarfs in Snow White, as an obvious example of this idea being used in a story.

Ramses was adopted from Egypt when he was 3 by a couple there doing mission work  and was brought back to the states, He unfortunately was placed into foster care when  the adoptive parents were blessed with triplets 1 - 1/2  years later.  Ramses spent his childhood in and out of foster care/ group homes until he aged out of the system at 18. Although incredibly bright, as a youth,  he got into trouble dealing with some of the street thugs in San Myshuno. (still has a few scars to show for it )

Great Temple of Ramses II 

Abu Simbel, Egypt, Africa

... looks familiar ?

Carved out of the mountain on the west bank of the Nile between 1274 and 1244 BC, this imposing main temple of the Abu Simbel complex was as much dedicated to the deified Ramses II himself as to Ra-Horakhty, Amun and Ptah. The four colossal statues of the pharaoh, which front the temple, are like gigantic sentinels watching over the incoming traffic from the south, undoubtedly designed as a warning of the strength of the pharaoh.

Over the centuries both the Nile and the desert sands shifted, and this temple was lost to the world until 1813, when it was rediscovered by chance by the Swiss explorer Jean-Louis Burckhardt. Only one of the heads was completely showing above the sand, the next head was broken off and, of the remaining two, only the crowns could be seen. Enough sand was cleared away in 1817 by Giovanni Belzoni for the temple to be entered.

From the temple’s forecourt, a short flight of steps leads up to the terrace in front of the massive rock-cut facade, which is about 30m high and 35m wide. Guarding the entrance, three of the four famous colossal statues stare out across the water into eternity – the inner left statue collapsed in antiquity and its upper body still lies on the ground. The statues, more than 20m high, are accompanied by smaller statues of the pharaoh’s mother, Queen Tuya, his wife Nefertari and some of his favourite children. Above the entrance, between the central throned colossi, is the figure of the falcon-headed sun god Ra-Horakhty.

The roof of the large hall is decorated with vultures, symbolising the protective goddess Nekhbet, and is supported by eight columns, each fronted by an Osiride statue of Ramses II. Reliefs on the walls depict the pharaoh’s prowess in battle, trampling over his enemies and slaughtering them in front of the gods. On the north wall is a depiction of the famous Battle of Kadesh (c 1274 BC), in what is now Syria, where Ramses inspired his demoralised army so that they won the battle against the Hittites. The scene is dominated by a famous relief of Ramses in his chariot, shooting arrows at his fleeing enemies. Also visible is the Egyptian camp, walled off by its soldiers’ round-topped shields, and the fortified Hittite town, surrounded by the Orontes River.

The next hall, the four-columned vestibule where Ramses and Nefertari are shown in front of the gods and the solar barques, leads to the sacred sanctuary, where Ramses and the triad of gods of the Great Temple sit on their thrones.

The original temple was aligned in such a way that each 21 February and 21 October, Ramses’ birthday and coronation day, the first rays of the rising sun moved across the hypostyle hall, through the vestibule and into the sanctuary, where they illuminate the figures of Ra-Horakhty, Ramses II and Amun. Ptah, to the left, was never supposed to be illuminated. Since the temples were moved, this phenomenon happens one day later.

The New Kingdom of Egypt c. 1250 BCE

A map illustrating the state of Egypt at its height during the New Kingdom (c. 1570 - c. 1069 BCE). Also known as the Egyptian Empire, this period began with the reunification of Egypt under Ahmose I (around 1550 BCE) and ended c. 1070 BCE with the gradual dissolution of the state and increased Libyan infiltration. Spanning more than 500 years and well beyond Egypt's core territory, the New Kingdom saw the most powerful (and famous today) pharaohs, such as Ramses II, Thutmose III, Hatshepsut, Akhenaten, and Tutankhamun.

you've done freddy and sander can you do drew x m!reader to complete gay furry trio

TW: None

Slowly (slowly) chipping away at these! Sorry about the wait for them, omg, I've been BUSY lmao. Anyway, more Dislyte on the way and then hopefully I'll be able to tackle some Baki the Grappler!

🐾 It takes a while for Drew to begin to pursue you. What with his more shy demeanor when it comes to the more romantic arts and his unyielding sense of duty to the House of Ramses (not to mention the Union)- he’s hesitant to pursue you despite how deep his attraction runs. 

🐾 It takes Brynn and Q to push him to even try and attempt to ask you out. It was actually Q who pointed it out (of course he would, he has the power of Eros on his side despite his resentment of it, sometimes it comes in handy, like now-) having noticed all of the signs:

“You have a thing for (Y/N), don’t you?” He accused, pointing at the butler.

Brynn raised her brows at the way Drew continued to add creamer to  the iced coffee she had asked for. “Uh, that’s enough, Drew-”

His shoulders jerked back and he scrambled to regain his normal posture. “I apologize, Ms. Brynn-” his voice shaky before he cleared his throat to continue- “if you wish for me to make you another one more to your taste, feel free to ask-”

“Naw, it’s all good!” She jumped up from the coach to go and grab the cup. She settled back into her seat, grinning over the rim of the cup as she took a sip. “Sometimes I need a little bit more pep in my step, thanks, Drew.”

“Ah, well,” he fixed his cuff, the butterfly that enjoyed staying with him fluttering about him. “As long as you are enjoying yourself, I suppose it’s fine.”

“Soooo,” Q drawled, drawing the attention back to himself. “You do like (Y/N), don’t ya, old man?”

“I don’t see what sort of relevance this has with anything.”

“Oh, it has every sort of relevance, Old Man.” Q’s wings gave two firm flaps to lift him from the couch, soon fluttering to keep him afloat as he leaned back, pointing two fingers at him. “Because our very own Old Man of the Esper Union has a big fat  C-R-U-S-H on the pretty errand boy-”

Drew’s hand suddenly slapped over Q’s mouth, the wisps of his cloak seemingly flaring more than usually. “I would prefer if you would lower your voice, Mr. Q.” He said, his voice low and ringing with a growl. The tiny Esper’s eyes were the size of saucers, his wings stuttering mid flap. 

“Woah! No freakin’ way! You have a thing for (Y/N), Drew? He is the sweetest thing, man!” Brynn said, scooting further off the seat to set her cup down on the coffee table and turning her focus to the butler. “When’re you gonna ask him out?”

“Ah, well, I…” Drew had let go of Q, his ears flicking back.

Q gasped for air, voice considerably lower. “You are planning on asking them out, right, Old Man?”

Drew stiffened, ears pressing flat against his head. “Oh my gods, you can’t not ask him out, Drew!” 

“Yeah, Old Man, you gotta! Hold on, me and Brynn’ll come up with something.”

“No, that is very considerate but you do not have to-” 

But it was too late, neither of them were listening to him, too caught up in brainstorming ingenious ways to get the two of you together. 

🐾 Spoiler alert, none of these were ingenious ways and each time they pitched an idea to him it was shot down with a furious head shake (much akin to a wet dog as Q loved to point out. Brynn always smacked him over the head) and veheminate and polite denial. 

“What do you mean?” Q cried. “Covering yourself in chocolate and being all seductive on his bed is the perfect way to his heart!”

“No!” Drew cleared his voice, struggling to keep his voice even. “No, it is not. Imagine the mess and the shock he’d suffer. A hard no, Mr. Q.”

“Party pooper.”

🐾 It’s up to Drew to confess to you before those two do it for him in the most embarrassing and concerning way they can possibly come up with (completely unintentional, but Drew caught sight of them making giant posters of his head and putting them on sticks- he’s pretty sure he saw crude hearts drawn in his pupils (well, eyes, considering the lack of said pupils)- he has no idea what they’re for and shutters to think of the purpose). 

🐾  He takes you to a quiet garden, somewhere safe and peaceful, bringing a picnic he made for lunch. In the quiet after-lunch lull is when he confesses to you. 

“I apologize if this is too sudden,” He begins, voice gentle and almost timid, your focus coming to him. “But I wanted to… inform you of my… my feelings for you before you heard from another.” His gaze moves from the plates he’s gently putting away to your wide eyes, a gentle smile on his muzzle. “But I am irrevocably and utterly attracted to you and, if you would entertain a simple butler such as myself, I would love it.”

🐾  If you don’t reciprocate his feelings (Note from Fel: awful, stinky, I will beat your ass if you break this poor baby's heART, DO YOU HEAR ME?) he will simply nod and accept your answer. He won’t treat you any differently, but there is a notable amount of longing sighs to be heard when he’s in the room. 

🐾  If you accept his confession (Note from Fel: the only viable option tbh), he will be over the moon and softly ask if he can embrace you. 

🐾  Honestly a large chunk of your relationship consists of him asking if it’s ok if he does something for you- consent is very important to him. 

🐾  You are so damn spoiled by this man. He is a top tier butler, you are being treated like royalty, though you might have to remind him to calm down because, sometimes, he falls back into the role a little too easily again. 

🐾  He gets embarrassed about it, but if you’re gentle about it and remind him that it just shows how much he loves you, he will cover his face with his hands and his ears will wiggle, a high pitched whine will leave him- but he’ll be over the moon. 

🐾 He most likely doesn’t weigh that much, so if you are so inclined: carry him. Lift him into your arms and press a kiss to the side of his head. He’ll be a puddle in your arms.

🐾  But be careful because he’s kind of long (he’s 5’10” which isn’t crazy, but it’s still tall (at least to me *stares off in short*). 

🐾  The two of you become the Union’s dads- no and’s, if’s, or but’s- you are now team dad. The younger Espers already held an admiration for Drew, it just rolled over to you now that the two of you are together- though, in that same vein: some of the recruits are gonna be very… judgmental about you. Well, judgmental in the sense that they don’t want Drew hurt. He’s very much appreciated at the Union and it’d break their hearts to see him broken-hearted- and if you’re the cause of it? Hoo-boy, you have a whole storm coming. 

🐾  If they get a little too aggressive in their approach with you then Drew will step in- he will not sit idly by and watch his boyfriend be put down. He’d literally rather eat glass. 

🐾 I’m so sorry to say, you’ll have to make an honest effort to get along with Ollie if you don’t already because he loves that boy so much, he practically raised him- and he’s one of the only things left from his former home? Yeah, it’s a bit of a deal breaker if you don’t get along with the dude, unfortunately. And Ollie, when he first meets you- even if he’s still mad at Drew and going on the blame train with him about what happened (which like, look, I love Ollie but I was gonna beat the FUCK out of him when that part popped up in the story, ok?)- he’s still going to be the most difficult and judgy bitch imaginable. He’s very much the type to sabotage your relationship with Drew if he really doesn’t like you and thinks you’re a horrible fit for Drew. He won’t outright dictate Drew to break up with you, but he’ll definitely bring up some subtle points about you that get Drew thinking. 

🐾  Mind you, that doesn’t really mean much because if it ends up bothering him that much, he’ll simply sit down with you and ask to talk about it. But if it’s something that you can’t talk about with a level head, it might put a strain on the relationship, because Drew seems like the type to not be able to handle tension with loved ones very well (he has abandonment issues, what do you expect?), he’ll probably shut down and be very… quiet for a couple of days. Which will just piss Ollie off tbh. And if it continues then Brynn and Q will get involved. Man has a whole protection squad, they won’t forgive you if you do anything to hurt Drew, man. Also, Ollie is actually a very good judge of character so he most likely won’t do anything unless you give him bad vibes.

🐾 There’ll be little to no arguments in your guys’ relationship because Drew is an extremely mature person- also he hates arguing in general and, as mentioned before, if you two do slip into an argument for whatever reason- he’ll literally stonewall you. He’ll stop communicating if it goes on too long, dissociating from the situation, not responding to you- he just shuts down. It’s very jarring to see actually because it’s so unlike him, but you can tell he’s hurt by the way his ears are pinned back and he just stares down at his hands. At this point, you just have to give him space to calm down- honestly, the man is on the cusp of a panic attack and the only reason he shut down is because he doesn’t want to make you anymore upset than you already are- which, depending how well you respond to that, just makes you more angry/hurt- even if the situation wasn’t something of his doing. He’s got a lot of baggage bottled up inside of him and you have to be understanding and patient with him. 

🐾 If the arguments become a recurring thing, he’ll most likely break up with you despite how much it’ll hurt him (AND OLLIE WILL BE THERE STANDING ALL FUCKING FORBOADING AND SHIT LIKE A DAD ABOUT TO SHOOT HIS DAUGHTERS BOYFRIEND FOR MAKING HER CRY- IT’S ACTUALLY SO SCARY, DUDE-)

🐾  Long story short: he’s such a soft lover; all he wants is to hold your hand and spoil you, pls take good care of him. 50000/10, best thing since sliced bread, bro.

The Alphabet with Ollie Ramses (Dislyte)

(Disclosure: These are mainly my headcanons; they are not canon as of the date of publication; Any canon notations will be noted.)

A = Affection

Yeah...about that... 😅

Ollie has a cactus personality, prickly and harsh...so he doesn't have a clue about being affectionate and doesn't have a desire to be affectionate.

He will show you how he truly feels through his actions. Acts of service are his love language. He doesn't need to be physically affectionate to show he cares.

Accepting affection? If he knows you like it, he will accept the affection even if it feels weird to him...

"Ollie may appear to be arrogant to some, but that's just a façade he puts up to hide his real feelings. His walls are intentionally high to protect himself."- Dislyte Official Canon

B = Babies

"Ironically, he himself does not like children because of their self-centeredness and their inability to communicate rationally." - Dislyte Official Canon

Ollie doesn't believe he is good with kids and doesn't seem to have a desire to have any. But his older sister notices how well he does with their adopted sibling(?) Anita...

C = Cuddles

When first getting to know someone, he would cringe at the idea of cuddling since he's not the most affectionate person (as just mentioned).

Once he gets to know his romantic partner and trusts them, he would be willing to make them happy with cuddles if that's what they would want.

He would prefer for his partner to initiate cuddles because it just feels so awkward to him...but that could change! It could?

D = Domestic

Aquarians, like Ollie, have close relationships with their family members. Family members are very precious to them, but they don't show it openly. People they spend time with, including family members, are expected to be intelligent and trustworthy.

If Ollie trusts his lover enough, he will welcome them into his family...After all, his ideal partner will become his refuge (he has a whole song about this).

E = Ending

If he decided that things weren't working out, Ollie would be honest and say that he doesn't love you anymore. He would be willing to try and make things work if you wanted to, however.

If you break up with him, he would try to understand but he would beg you to try and work things out with him. If you didn't want to, he would accept your decision but would be heartbroken.

If his partner cheated on him, he would immediately want to end things and it would be a very long time before trusting someone again with his heart...He would never forgive his ex for the betrayal and would want nothing more to do with them.

He would never cheat in a committed relationship. He would rather be honest and end things than betray someone he loves/loved.

F = Fiance(e)

Ollie would be anxious in deciding on the right time to propose. He would seek the advice of his friends and family to decide what to do.

It would take a long time for him to open himself enough to want to settle down with the right partner...

G = Gentle

Gentle with children because he views them as fragile and delicate. Anyone else, no he is not. He is respectful and slightly gentle with elderly people, however.

H = Hugs

No. He isn't big on them. Will tolerate hugs and/or cuddles if it's family or his partner...

He would hug someone in his family or his partner who was in great distress or upset...

I = Issue(s)

Ollie very likely has PTSD. He was kidnapped as a child (this was discussed in the original storyline) and he saw his father assassinated by Leon (either he saw the murder or he found his dead father?).

J = Jealousy

If he isn't in a committed relationship, he doesn't care. He is undecided about you anyways...

If he's in a committed relationship, he absolutely gets jealous if you or the other person are a little too friendly or flirtatious with each other and will openly let the other person know to back off.

K = Kisses

Despite not being experienced, kisses from Ollie are one of a kind. His soft green lips will transport you to heaven...

L = Love

Ollie doesn't fall in love that easily. Once he decides to fully trust over time, then he can make a decision about loving someone.

When Ollie decides that someone is going to be his romantic partner, he will view them as his escape from the world; his refuge. He will put them on a pedestal above everyone else.

M = Morning

Ollie isn't a morning person. But he will wake up in the morning if he needs to (work, breakfast, morning sex, etc.)

N = Night

Ollie is more of a night person so he will be more active in the afternoon and night...he can also dress in disguise and go out more when it's night than in the daytime.

O = Open

Once again, no way. Ollie is not an open person. He is very reserved and defensive. He has a prickly personality like a cactus.

He will only open up to those he knows and trusts. And it takes a lot to get him to open up.

P = Patience

He can be patient, but he does get frustrated at times with waiting or by how long something takes...

Q = Quizzes

According to Drew, Ollie is very bright and excelled at school. He would pass any quiz with flying colors. He demonstrates a profound knowledge of chemistry during the original story arc...

R = Remember

Ollie remembers everything...

S = Sugar

Ollie likes sweet things but isn't obsessed by them or anything...

T = Talk

Ollie isn't talkative unless it's someone he knows and trusts.

U = Usual

He is usually reserved and keeps to himself. He likes to wear disguises to stay as anonymous as possible despite who he is...

V = Vanity

Ollie is aware of his good looks, but isn't bothered about it. He isn't vain in the slightest.

W = Wonder

"Ollie habitually adjusts his glasses when he's deep in thought." - Dislyte canon

Occasionally, when Ollie is alone with his thoughts, his mind will wonder many things ...why things happened, what could have been, why he was born, etc...

He tries to resist the urge since he'd rather be productive than be stuck in his thoughts.

X = X-Rated

Ollie does have X-Rated thoughts and dreams but he will only share them with a partner he truly loves and trusts...

He is a 20 year old man of course he has wet dreams and the like...*Cough cough*

Y = Yuck

"Ollie has always hated how the members of the upper class in Debia treated those they employed. He himself treats everyone as an equal, including staff members in his household. No matter your upbringing, one should always treat others with respect.

Ollie did not have many friends growing up. His family’s status led to a small social circle, and many of his peers did not meet his moral standards. He was often shunned for his eccentricity." - Official Dislyte canon

Ollie doesn't like arrogant or condescending people. He was from one of the wealthiest families in Debia but believed everyone was equal and didn't treat anyone differently because of status. He judges people by character.

Z = Zodiac

"The Aquarius-born people are humanitarians to the core. They are a progressive and modern... Broad-minded and creative, they are the real truth-seekers."

Knight’s Aegis

Here’s a fic I wrote for a friend while my comp was out for repairs! It’s a reader insert that contains half size, protective, and willing vore with a male pred c: hope you guys enjoy, i’m hoping to post more in the future!

The sunlight was harsh on this grassy path. You wished you had brought some more water with you…but the life of an archaeologist was not always an easy one! You could easily deal with a bit of sun for a bit, the ruins you were set to explore weren’t that far off anyhow. You only hoped that your companion was handling it alright…it had to get terribly hot in that metal armor. You turned to ask him if he wanted to take a break…and found him at your side as always, floating about a foot off the ground as you walked.

Ah, right. You forgot he was a ghost. He probably couldn’t feel temperature changes, could he?

The tale of you two meeting was an interesting one to say the least- your personal ad for a traveling partner on your expeditions was answered by a visit from a near 8 foot tall man in a complete suit of ancient-looking armor. You remembered the day fondly…he introduced himself as Sir Ramses, former champion of a kingdom he could no longer remember. Without most of his memories and having awoken in a world that was unfamiliar to him, he was seeking someone that could help him find what remained of his kingdom to regain his memories…and you fit the bill! It wasn’t uncommon for you to meet ghost types in this line of work, though not many were usually this proactive…you jumped at the opportunity to study an unliving relic of the past. Unfortunately you couldn’t exactly question him much to the dismay of your inner anthropologist, but he definitely remembered how to fight!

Ramses wasn’t the most talkative travel partner, though. He had explained it to you once before- his duty in life was to protect someone important, and he often kept quiet so he could keep his eyes and ears open to any threats. Now that you were together, that meant he was trying to protect you. You didn’t quite mind that though- he was an excellent listener, and you loved talking about your theories and things you discovered. All in all it was a pretty sweet deal for the two of you! The feeling of his cool hand on your shoulder pulled you out of your thoughts, and you stopped walking to cast him a curious glance. You could never make out any features of his from beneath his helmet outside of one eye, which was looking around cautiously.

“We’re being followed.” You looked at him quizzically, you hadn’t seen or heard anyone around…besides, who would want to follow you? You didn’t have much… “There’s three of them. You could be in danger.”

Before you could question him further he moved swiftly, grabbing you and near tackling you into the thick brush at the side of the road. Thankfully it didn’t hurt- he took the liberty of wrapping you in his purple cloak. While you squirmed around in his hold to get your bearings, Ramses realized that his initial plan of hiding you here wouldn’t work. The surrounding brush was rather thorny, even if he chased off whoever was following the two of you you’d still end up cut by the thorns… He’ll have to settle for plan B. He was feeling peckish, anyhow.

“My apologies for what I’m about to do,” His deep voice rumbled from above you, “But do understand it’s to protect you.” Having finally gotten yourself a bit loose from your wrappings, you gave him a quizzical look. What, was he going to leave you here and fight? You hated combat like that, you made him promise not to use that sword against anyone- but you found that his helmet was getting closer to you, the visor widening so much that you could stick your face inside…you’ve never really seen what his face looked like, come to think of it. You didn’t get the chance to really look, as it moved in you were completely consumed by darkness. Your surroundings were cool and dark, and they shifted to press and rub against you. When a swallow rang out around you and pushed you deeper inside it finally hit you what was going on- he was eating you alive! Maybe in any other situation you’d be mortified- but to you, this was fascinating! You trusted Ramses’ word that this was to protect you, and you had wondered how he ate those snacks you’d always offer him anyway. It seems like he could just make himself internals as he wishes…which were steadily pulling you deeper inside of him, judging by the steady gulps from above and the cold spreading across your body. You wouldn’t have to wait long to see what his stomach was like, as you were pushed into a slightly more open space after a particularly deep gulp. It wasn’t as dark in here, the walls of his stomach glowed a purplish hue which let you see a little. It was nice and cool in here, which was a welcome respite from the heat...the stomach walls shifted around you, beginning to gently churn.

Ramses sighed quietly, you were safe now but his job wasn't finished yet. Resting a hand on the bulge you were making in the gap of his armor, he used shadow sneak to melt into the shade and hide you both. From his spot in the darkness he watched for your pursuers, and from your spot inside him you could just barely hear footsteps and voices over the quiet gurgling of his stomach. There were people following you! Maybe they hoped you would lead them to riches…Ramses' quick thinking kept you out of trouble. The footsteps passed by, so you should be safe to leave…but all you felt was his hand gently rubbing against you.

"The danger is gone now, so you're safe…but if you'll allow me, I'd like to hold onto you for a while longer. This is…rather pleasant to me." His normally flat tone sounded a bit sheepish, as if he was embarrassed for wanting it. You reached out and gently rubbed the walls as an affirmative gesture. You truthfully didn't mind, it was comfortable here…maybe he wouldn't mind if you rested for a while.

[thepastisalreadywritten]

Egyptian Pharaoh Ramesses II was issued a passport 3,000 years after his death in order for his mummy to fly to Paris.

Ramesses II (c. 1303 BC – 1213 BC), commonly known as Ramesses the Great, is often regarded as the greatest, most celebrated, and most powerful pharaoh of the New Kingdom.

His successors and later Egyptians called him the “Great Ancestor.”

Ramesses II was originally buried in a grand tomb in the Valley of the Kings.

He was subsequently moved many times by priests who feared looters. He spent as little as three days in some places, and the priests recorded their actions on wrappings on his body.

Despite his resplendent wealth and power in life, his body was later moved to a royal cache.

With the passage of time, his sarcophagus  was lost to history.

It was re-discovered in a deteriorating condition in 1881. It is now on display in the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities.

It was his poor condition that prompted Egyptian authorities to seek help preserving him in the mid-1970s.

They found their experts in France and reluctantly decided to transport the 3,000 year-old mummy to Paris.

In 1975, Maurice Bucaille, a French doctor studying his remains, said that the mummy was threatened by fungus and needed urgent treatment to prevent total decay.

French laws dictated that entry and transportation through the country required a valid passport.

To comply with local laws, the Egyptian government issued a passport to the Pharaoh.

Seemingly, he was the first mummy to receive one. His occupation was listed as "King (deceased)."

The government didn’t want him to get a passport for publicity but believed it would afford them legal protections to ensure his safe return.

As countless artifacts and mummies have been plundered and stolen from Egypt, museums in Europe didn’t always respect Egyptian claims.

In 1976, his remains were issued an Egyptian passport so that he could be transported to Paris for an irradiated treatment to prevent a fungoid growth.

The New York Times reported on 27 September 1976 that the French military aircraft that brought Ramesses' remains from the Cairo Museum was greeted by the Garde Republicaine, France's equivalent of a U.S. Marine honor guard.

“The mummy was greeted by the Secretary of State for Universities, Alice Saunter‐Seite, and an army detachment.

Ramses II, who ruled Egypt for 67 years, received special treatment at Le Bourget Airport.”

It was then taken to the Paris Ethnological Museum for inspection by Professor Pierre-Fernand Ceccaldi, the chief forensic scientist at the Criminal Identification Laboratory of Paris.

During the examination, Cecaldi noted:

“Hair, astonishingly preserved, showed some complementary data, especially about pigmentation.

Ramses II was a ginger-haired ‘cymnotriche leucoderma'” (meaning he was a fair-skinned person with wavy ginger hair).

He is 5 ft '7 inches tall. They found battle wounds, arthritis and tooth abscess.

In ancient Egypt, people with red hair were associated with deity Set, the slayer of Osiris. The name of Ramesses II’s father, Seti I, means “follower of Seth.”

The examination also revealed evidence of previous wounds, fractures and arthritis, which would have left Ramesses with a hunched back in the later years of his life.

In 2007, it was discovered that small tufts of the Pharaoh’s hair were stolen during the 1976 preservation work (published by the BBC).  

A Frenchman named Jean-Michel Diebolt said he had inherited the hair from his late father, a researcher from the team who analysed the mummy.

Deibolt had tried to sell the hair through an online auction for 2000 euros (£1360) but was quickly apprehended by French authorities.

Gotta say, I love how in your ship comparison post even ViJinx, ZuZula and MosesRameses, definitely massively enemies throughout the narrative with nothing but bitter bad blood between then by the end of their screentime (Azula being a complicated case but she did very much want to off Zuko), still have more mutual respect and a healthier enemyship than C//A's season 5 "romance."

Nate, my buddy, if the dude who kept his adopted brother's people as slaves and went out with an army to kill/recapture them after they left is still nicer to his adopted bro than the love interest is to your protagonist, uh, you might wanna revise your script a little.

(I hope this doesn't sound stupid but could you avoid using their ship names, please? I don't think you ship them but this post might appear in the search results and people can be very hostile when it comes to that. Thanks!)

Yeah, that's what baffles me, honestly. I rewatched the reunion of Ramses and Moses in the movie yesterday, and it's actually pretty sweet to some level. Ramses is very happy to see his brother, as opposed to everyone else in the room. As for Zuko and Azula, I can only think of like... two positive scenes: one of them being when they were little and they were probably playing tag, though this one is a very brief scene. The second one is when Zuko goes to their family's vacation house(?) and Azula says something like, "let's get out of here, this place is depressing". And she's not being her manipulative and controlling self here, as far as I remember. It's pretty clear how much her past hurts her, too. I think it's a moment of shared trauma, even if Zuko and Azula have very different perceptions of it (which is very realistic for siblings raised in an abusive home).

Arguably, I haven't seen Arcane yet, only a few scenes on Youtube (mainly videos that compared Vi and Jinx with Adora and Catra), but there's still mutual love between the sisters. They have similar conflicts to C//A's, as Jinx believes that Vi abandoned her. However, at least the show doesn't guilt-trip Vi for not staying with Jinx. (Again, I haven't seen Arcane, correct me if I'm wrong)

All these sibling dynamics are clearly tragic, because in some way they still care about each other, especially in the cases of Ramses and Moses, and Vi and Jinx. I think the problem with C//A is what all other SPOP crits have said before: it tells and doesn't show. However, I think "Promise" might be the one episode that shows us that Catra and Adora love each other. But other than that... that's it? For most of the show, we don't see the same mutual love. We know Adora loves Catra and blames herself for not being able to save Catra from evil, but do we see the opposite? Do we see Catra hesitating to hurt Adora and showing us how conflicted she is about it?

No. No, we don't.

But the show tells us that Catra loves Adora. And yet people believe it, when it's just not there.
