爪乇ᗪㄩ丂卂 — introduction

———————————————————————

You are Medusa. A beautiful priestess of Lady Athena: the virgin goddess of wisdom, strategic warfare, handicraft, and practical reason.

To honour your goddess, you have sworn an oath of celibacy, to forever stay chaste and pure, like your patron. This is the cause of dismay to many frequent visitors of Athena’s temple, as news of your gorgeous looks have spread near and far, to the point where many visit the temple simply to gaze upon the face laughter-loving Aphrodite has blessed so heavily.

Grey-eyed Athena, having noticed the unconventional intentions of her so-called “worshipers” could scoff at their pointless lusting.

Her vassals were not to be ravished, and any mortal who did not heed rejection would be plagued by suffering for the rest of their mortal lives, before facing the torment spun by iron-fisted Persephone in the house of hades.

You had always loved serpents, their long, scaly bodies and their forked tongues, flicking in and out tasting the air for signs of danger.

Despite most being small and feeble, they were adequately adept at protecting themselves against external threats, predators rarely being able to seize one in their grip and do ghastly things to her- them.

Some had venom, death dripping from their mouths with a desperate hiss that held nothing but the wish to survive.

Most had fangs, sharpand curved and bared when faced with a man wanting to watch the life leave her eyes, via death or other, more vile deeds.

All of them however, had thick, scale-laced skin, which could block the man's attempts to penetrate her.

Whenever a woman collapsed to your arms, sobbing breathlessly and spluttering the barbarity committed against her, circular bruises forming on her neck beneath left over slobber and wrists aching from being seized tightly in a calloused, tight grip, you could feel your heart ache.

Whether this would happen at the temple, the woman seeking refuge and the protection of Athena, or be it at your humble home, being soaked with the tears of your neighbours, you wanted to burst into tears yourself.

You wanted to find the man who did it and make his feel the same pain—

—But you couldn’t, unfortunately, murder (unlike the horrid atrocities which were passed off as ‘uncontrollable desire’) was in fact, against the law.

Every time this happened, the same question pranced it’s way around your mind: ‘Why couldn’t we be more like snakes?’

One day, you were making your way to your patron’s temple, treading up the stones path to the holy building in the distance. The route you always took was a long one. It was a narrow stone-covered path that overlapped with the coast at several points, sometimes meandering into the thrashing ocean itself.

Whenever you took this route you always felt like someone was watching you, eyes trailing on your every move. However, when you turned to look your stalker, you would be met with nothing but the crashing waves.

You had left home a few hours before sun rise, and when you arrived, Helios’ golden glow peeled behind the horizon as Eos’ rosy fingers heralded a new day.

There were only a few workers of the temple present at the time. Mostly cleaners and senior vassals, one or two over-achieving newly ordained priestesses. All were either idly chatting away or kneeling before statues and monuments, eyes closed and palms clasped in prayer.

Hours passed and eventually your duties came to an end. You were preparing to leave when all of a sudden-

“Medusa!” The high priest called as he staggered over. He was a frail old man, constantly hunched over a walking stick.

“Hm?” You hummed in response, turning and waiting for him to reach you.

“I was wondering if you could stay behind tonight to place the offerings. If you’re up to it that is.”

“Oh I‘m sorry but I don’t think I can stay on my feet any longer, if I don’t go home now I’ll collapse”

“Sure, I don’t have any plans today”

Brighter than the sun

Very much inspired by this and this 🥵

Pairing: Mika Häkkinen x Michael Schumacher

Michael wiped his forehead in the blazing Brazilian sun as beads of sweat dribbled down his face. It wasn't even that warm in Interlagos. It was just that the sun had so much power that is evaporated the liquids straight out of your pores.

The waves of heat rose off the tarmac like flames above a grill, making the air above the track sizzle as it expanded and fought the colder air on its way above. The rays of ultraviolet were so strong that Michael put on the darkest sunglasses he could find. The techinical briefing was over - Thank God - because so was his will to stay in the garage any longer. He wanted nothing more than that to spent some alone-time on the Interlagos roof terrace, where he could turn his chagrin about working in the heat into resignation, becoming at peace with relaxing in the heat. Maybe have a Mojito or two, since he had finished driving for the day.

To be honest, the Brazilian sun made him a bit restless. It were on sunny days like this one when he missed Corinna most. He just wanted to relieve some tension after testing. He needed that tension, currently coiling in his stomach, to be freed from its cage before tomorrow's race, or else his Finnish opponent might run off with his trophy.

Mika... the man was in fact his favourite opponent. He never had any trouble with Mika. Mika was fun to share the podium with. Mika was kind and gratious. Mika this, Mika that... Mika occupied his mind way too often the last couple of years.

When he arrived on the roof terrace, he quickly took refuge underneath a large parasol. Here, on the tiled roof terrace it seemed even hotter than down at the paddock. The mercury in the thermometer almost burst from its glass casing. Michael really could do with a cold drink. To his dissapointment however the bar was closed.

While his eyes had been scanning the roof terrace for the opening sign of the bar, he had noticed he was not alone. He stared at the alluring sight for a moment and grinned. Nevermind a cold drink... he needed a cold shower.

Michael always thought Finns didn't enjoy the sun, seeing as they come from boreal areas. Although they did like saunas, which made Michael change his mind in an instant. Mika was sitting there with his eyes shut, race suit unzipped and draped around his waist, looking like Helios. His skin more tan than Michael thought the cool Finn would ever be able to pull off, his long blonde hair weaving in the wind, looking even more golden in the sunlight. Michael sighed in appreciation and was glad for the sunglasses, because they were dark enough to hide the way he was staring so blatantly.

He stood up and took a seat closer to Mika. He wondered if he too should unzip his race suit, but his fireproofs were still underneath and he didn't want to give his rival a show... or maybe... oh well let's see how this pans out. For now he just sat there being way too hot and bothered.

Mika still hadn't noticed him. Michael watched beads of sweat trickling from Mika's hair down his broad chest and ignored the heat pooling in his stomach.

It was only seconds later that Mika noticed him. "Hey, Michael." The Finn looked around the terrace for a moment, then smiled at him. "Isn't it crazy how - apart from the two of us - empty this terrace is? On such a beautiful day."

Michael swallowed. Yes, just the two of us. Like all the time. It was always the two of them... on the podium... wielding champagne. "Yes, Mika. A good place to unwind after testing."

Mika nodded. "How did your testing go?"

Michael grinned. He wondered whether Mika genuinely wanted to know or if he wanted to pry out some information on the Ferrari F300. "Wouldn't you like to know," he teased.

Mika smirked. "Ah you're not giving me anything! Are you scared of me, Michael?"

Michael looked into the blonde's ocean-blue eyes and swallowed. I am not scared of you. I am distracted by you! How dare you sit like that! With all that skin on display! "Scared of you? No, scared of Jean and Ross. They will give me hell if I give away the secrets of the F300."

Mika chuckled. "I wasn't asking about the F300. I mean just driving in general, Michael. Lots of tyre deg I am sure. It's so warm out here!" He noticed Michael sweating in his race suit and wondered what was stopping him from undoing it the way all drivers did in the heat. "But you seem to be coping well with the heat?"

Michael blushed. He was glad the afternoon heat gave him reason to be red-faced. "Yes, I have never had any trouble with high temperatures. I do quite enjoy it to be honest."

Mika nodded. "Yeah me too. And like this it's very easy to cope with it."

Like this. Michael saw it as an invitation to look Mika up an down as the Finn was definitely talking about his state of dress. He swallowed audibly as his mouth went dry. Michael knew Mika was broad-shouldered, but the sturdy McLaren silver racing suit never gave anything away when it came to the contours of his muscled upper body.

He looked like this only six months after his near-fatal accident. How? He remembered Mika being all skin and bone after leaving the hospital. What did they give him for breakfast?

Michael nodded. "Yeah, probably." He noticed the skin on Mika's shoulders was slightly starting to turn red. "Uhm... did you?" he stammered. "Did you put on sunscreen?"

Mika blushed. "Yeah, I brought it with me but I couldn't reach everywhere." He searched his skin for the sun burns that had probably caught Michael's eyes, but couldn't find any. He reached into the plastic bag he brought along and grabbed his bottle of sunscreen.

"You know..." Michael bit his lip. "I don't mind putting it on you." He laughed nervously. "I will have your back..."

Mika smirked his crooked smile at Michael's little joke, partly because he thought it was funny and partly to loosen the tension between the two. Surely there shouldn't be any tension. Having someone else put sunscreen on your back was a necessity, right?

Michael blushed as he reached for the bottle Mika was offering him. He squeezed quite a good amount of the white moisture on his hand and walked to Mika, who was now standing in his shirtless glory.

As soon as his hand made contact wit Mika's skin the Finn jumped.

"Perkele, ko on kylma! That's cold!"

Michael grinned mischievously. He started slow, light touches gently massaging the sunscreen into Mika's skin. His natural instinct took over, and next thing he knew, he was working out the knots in his upper back. Digging his thumbs in Mika's back muscles, Michael started to knead the flesh between his fingers. He pretty much had to remind himself that he was putting sunscreen on Mika instead of lotion.

"Oh Michael, that's very kind of you! I think my physiotherapist missed a few knots."

Michael's face turned impossibly red. He was caught in the action. Luckily he was facing Mika's back side, so the Finn couldn't see his flustered face. He continued without lingering his hands on his skin for too long, but Mika's skin was so smooth and alluring.

He swiped those luscious long blonde locks to the side to rub his hands over his neck and broad shoulders. Then let his index finger run down Mika's spine, making the Finn shudder in delight.

Fuck. Michael forced himself to think about Corinna, in order to make whatever he was doing with Mika feel as platonic as possible.

Michael regretted the job was finished when the moisture on his hands started to dry up, but he didn't dare to squeeze another bit of sunscreen from the bottle.

When he handed back Mika his sunscreen, the Finn grabbed his wrist instead.

"I don't mind returning the favour."

Michael felt goosebumps appear on his skin. God, yes please. He swallowed and schooled his glee behind an impassive mask, trying to appear aloof.

"Well, why not?"

Michael started to work on his Ferrari red overalls with nimble fingers. Slowly unzipping the garment, giving his rival the show he was very hesitant about giving fifteen minutes earlier. His fireproofs were next and landed on the ground between them.

And just like he'd with Mika, the Finn was eating him up with his eyes, staring at his huge pecs. Look at them! Carefully picking out possibilities to touch one another like a well played-out game of chess. So this is what they end up like on a warm brilliant day in Brazil without their respective girlfriends around?

Michael felt tense in his shoulders, flustered with the way he knew Mika was staring. A heat crept up to his neck which was definitely not from the sun. His fingers were like butter as he dropped the bottle of sunscreen.

Mika picked it up from the ground and uncapped the bottle.

Michael watched as the handsome Finn squeezed the sunscreen in his hands and started lathering them with the stuff.

"To make sure it's not cold on your skin. You didn't think of that with me, so actually I shouldn't be doing this." He grinned. "But unlike you, I am very thoughtful."

Michael shivered in anticipation and gasped when he felt Mika's large hands on his skin. His hands felt robust unlike Corinna's. An entire different but very welcome sensation.

Thoughtful as he was, Mika made sure to touch every square inch of skin within his reach. Swerving his hands over the dips and hills between his muscles... just to make sure he wouldn't burn right? His own hands had been lingering on Mika's skin to make sure he wouldn't burn right?

Michael bit his lip when Mika smoothed the cream all over his exposed skin, the sensation sparking a warmth in his core. He could feel Mika's close proximity and he "accidently" arched his back into the Finn, reveling in the sudden skin contact.

In a reflex, Mika grabbed him by the hips to steady him. Holding him there for a moment, while eyeing the German's shimmering shoulders, until he noticed the stains of white on Michael's red overalls.

"Oh vittu! I got sunscreen on your race suit."

Mika let go off him and walked to his plastic bag to look for a handkerchief. He rummaged through his things and walked back to Michael with the cleaning cloth of his sunglasses.

"Let me get that for you."

Michael mourned the fact that Mika's attention was now on his clothing instead of on his skin. He didn't hesitate and grabbed his rival's wrist, squeezing softly. Emerald greens staring at saphire blues.

"Leave it. It's okay."

And at that moment they were so close they could kiss. It came up in Michael's mind for a fraction of a second. To grab Mika by his blonde locks and yank him into a kiss. To hold him and touch his delectable body.

But before he knew it, the moment was over. Both of them creating a distance with flustered faces. Had they been thinking of the same thing?

"Thank you. We are well protected now," Mika coughed nervously with pink-tinged cheeks.

A nod from an equally flustered face.

A crooked smile.

Michael walked back to his chair with a white sunscreen stain the size of Mika's hand on his red overalls at hip height.

Duncan took a walk through Lumiose, reacquainting himself with the place a little, before making his way to meet up with Selene at her apartment. He couldn't help but have a smile on his face. He was excited to see her again after being away for a while...

...but apparently Selene's sister Helios lives in that apartment now with a guy named Kurt. whoops.

After clearing up the confusion, being directed to the right place and exchanging a friendly see-you-later between himself and the current residents, Duncan set off to the Aegis Refuge, where Selene *actually* lives, hoping she doesn't decide to move again before he gets there.

When he arrived, he was pleasantly surprised by the sight of a girl with familiar white hair that he knew without a shadow of a doubt belonged to Selene.

"So this is where you've been!" Duncan began as he approached. "I've been looking forward to meeting up for a while. Good to see you!" Duncan walked into the girl's view, a friendly smile on his face. "Been a while, huh? My phone's been dead, so I haven't been able to reach out to anybody for a while now. You, uh...wouldn't happen to have a charger on you, would you?" Duncan asked, holding his powerless phone in one hand.

HeliosR - Sing in the darkness - Chapter 3 - Part 10

Translation of Sing in the darkness from ‘Helios Rising Heroes’, a new side arc alongside the current main story arc Like the dawning light.

Keith: Oi, Junior. It’s thatta way~

Junior: Okay, leave it to me!

Junior: Eat this! My serving of thunder….!

Masked civilian: It’ll be a struggle for death with this….!

Keith: !! Junior, wait!

Masked civilian: Uoooooh….!

Keith: Shit, will I make it…

Keith: !? He’s gone…

Junior: What!? Where did that guy just go?

Masked civilian: W-where is this! Why am I here!?

Nico: Used my power

Nico: You would’ve turned into a crisp if you kept going

Masked civilian: Ngh…. How dare you interfere! I didn’t ask for anyone to come save me, did I!

Nico: Don’t resist

Masked civilian: Stop! Don’t touch me! You filthy bunch…

Nico: …….

Masked civilian: Damnit… Finally I prepared myself for the worst and came this far, yet I haven’t achieved anything…

Masked civilian: Wheeze…. It’s hard to breathe…. I knew the air here was contaminated…

Nico: Hey, you okay?

Masked civilian: !! Don’t come close, you wretched hero!

Masked civilian: Better say your prayers… For your place to belong will be wiped from the face of this earth not before long!

Nico: ………..

Nico: ………….

Nico: (Wrong…. And this is wrong… this too…)

Nico: (When it comes down to information based on rumors, there’s more than enough. But none of it is accurate---)

Nico: Come in

???: ……….

Nico: Why are you being that quiet?

???: Fufufu….

Billy: Becaaause~! I got summoned to the operation room of the Anti-Eclipse unit!?

Billy: It’s not everyday I set foot in here~ It’s psyching me up~ I can’t make my entry without playing the part!

Nico: Playing the part?

Billy: Yup yup. Let’s not fret the deets. Now, at last…

Billy: Hallo, Nico-paisen! Thank you so much for opting to choose the services of no one other than the informant Billy Wise☆

Billy: I’ll have you know Nico-paisen has become a valued client through and through♡

Billy: Steadily accumulating the truth has paid off if I do say so myself. You seek to invest in my true power, yes~?

Nico: Just wanted information so I requested you

Billy: ……

Billy: I am the informant New Million takes pride in! Billy Wise!

Billy: Since you requested my aid, I shall pour my body and soul in fulfilling any kind of unreasonable demand☆

Billy: Ah, there is something I’d like to convey first due it being quite important~.... As for the payment, would information about Nico-paisen’s family be OK?

Nico: How much is that in terms of money?

Billy: Guh…. Won’t provide any information just as I thought…

Billy: Even though me has been persistently approaching you eeeever since mine admission….

Nico: Leave those things for later. Get to the main issue already

Billy: Gotcha!

Billy: Let’s see, first let’s go over the requested contents

Billy: Wanting information pertaining to a general organization harboring a negative point of view towards heroes and substance…. Here we go

Billy: There are plenty of theories afloat both from inside and outside New Million, about how the utilization of substance and the existence of itself is not deemed acceptable.

Billy: Save for the scholars and certain individuals, organizations who operate on such a scale can be narrowed down to a limit of four total.

Billy: And between those there’s one with it’s homebase located within New Million… while having a closer look at it, I was able to scope it down to one sole connection☆

Billy: Ta-dah! That be “Thonis”!

Nico: Thonis…

Billy: Regarding what Thonis is, it’s the name of a city stemming from Ancient Egypt, known as "the city that sank under water”

Nico: A city that sank under water?

Billy: Yes! That very organization called Thonis was created by people who had taken refuge beneath the soil of New Million, in the Lost Garden, 50 years ago when substance had come flying in from space.

(@pokentomology) excellent. i am now conscripting your services for New Friend

there's a number of Pokémon that I have, but the only ones allowed inside the house are iona (lurantis), Buggy (volcarona), Venom (scolipede), Mia (munna), and Chonk (shinx).

I would like, ideally, a friend that can perform three tasks (it doesn't have to be done Well or on command—the last two are basically just necessities of the household):

- snuggle

- let me lean on them sometimes

- get fire extinguisher (I will personally train them to use it dw)

Chonk is going up for adoption soon and I cannot keep him because he keeps shorting out my electricity, and I need a snuggly friend because now he has spoiled me. the others are either unsuitable for snuggling or just dont like it (Mia does, but she's a service pokemon trained to stay awake the whole night, which kind of defeats the purpose).

I run a pokemon sanctuary called Helios Refuge in southwest Unova, and I'd like them to be able to accompany me there—it's mostly outdoors, and all the doorways of my house have been forcibly enlarged by my dear Venom, so I wouldn't mind a bigger buddy.

They cannot be a grass-type. My house is full of violent bugs, and things around me catch fire all the time. All the time. They also cannot be a water-type, or at least not one without a counter to grass-type, because Iona will assassinate them.

I am very good with high-maintenance pokemon and have no aversion to any of the "creepy" types, although I would prefer not an Absol. Nothing wrong with them, I am just a walking disaster and the poor thing would be stressed out 24/7.

I recognize this is a tough ask and you don't actually have to assign me a new friend, I just thought it might be fun or cool if I brought anyone to mind. I'll always prefer to give a lonely pokemon a needed home before catching a new one wild. Thank you!!!

OKAY SO it took some brainstorming, but here’s what I’ve come up with

Our criteria

- Soft & calm enough to snuggle comfortably; big enough to lean on; dexterous enough to grab a fire extinguisher (and maybe use it)

- NOT a water or grass type, and okay with being outdoors a lot + interacting with other pokemon at the sanctuary

- Ampharos are gentle giants & wonderful pillows + have aided humans in lighthouses for centuries

- Gengar are a little “scary”, but love other people & pokemon’s company

- Swoobat are big sweeties and are great support pokemon due to their ability to induce positive moods

- And Reuniclus are so squishy & give great hugs! :]

#thanks for the ask & good luck!#pokentomology #ask #pokeblogging #pkmn irl

he extends his hand upon hearing the music. it's a gentle, elegant melody: the kind that would fit a maiden like her, and yet, there is also a hint of something terribly tragic in it the more he listens.

❛ may i have this dance, my maiden? ❜

his smile is kind, and he makes sure it doesn't look sad to her. helios has enough powers to keep his projection long enough for one dance, even if it isn't the wisest of decisions. this way, at least, he is content enough that they have shared a moment like this, even if she is different now. she is still the same her, and he still loves her. he is content with that much. truly.

( maidenkissed 💗)

"maiden? no. lady."

but she takes his hand all the same. she had been by herself , enraptured in a melody of her own making. she was playing the piano - a skill she had not forgotten even now with her dreams once more tainted. the other circus performers had learned to stay far away from her - a mistake she knew they wouldn't commit again. it gave her plenty of time to think, to wish, and to dream in her own twisted way. most of her time was spent dreaming of the pegasus that had taken refuge in her dreams , of a boy who had captured her heart in a way that she hadn't thought possible. her mother had mamo-chan and she...

she takes the boy's delicate hand in his own - or so she thinks. it is a phantasm but in her twisted thoughts she believes it to be real all the same. though there is no pressure in her hands , no warmth returned through the contact of their hands , she believed it was real all the same. she wanted it to be real so very bad. nehelania's circus was a mysterious place. even though she had gotten up to dance and had walked away from her piano, the music was still playing. soft, delicate and altogether sad and sombre.

and though she did not know it, her future guardian protectors that remained trapped in orbs at this instance on her piano, wept for her in their slumber.

Ok I know this is usually for one character at the time but 🎫 for Helios, Ironwing and Nightjet? They look like such a wholesome squad together!

Aw, thank you!

There are no set rules for ask games so you and everyone else is free to send whatever you want!

Helios

When he listens to music, he prefers to find a secluded space, lay down on the ground and close his optics to fully concentrate on the melodies and texts that drown out his thoughts.

Ironwing

He prefers energetic songs over slow, calming ones. Often times he can be seen headbanging or tapping to the powerful beat of whatever he's listening to. I listenend to one too many viking metal songs and made him a metalhead - my boy has to suffer for it.

Nightjet

I am so. Tempted. To make him listen to elevator music on his shift. But I will not. He likes certain tracks from all genres and he will listen to a myriad of soundtracks while working.

Extra: How the trio met

When the Stellar Observatory landed on Earth, they were wise enough to cloak themselves from human detection systems but any Cybertronian could see that there was a neutral ship on the planet and they used this to lure in other Transformers that were stranded.

They did this on almost every planet they went to and on rare occasions it worked. Sometimes, they picked up mechs from either faction and let them stay until they reached the nearest space port where every mech could leave if they wanted to.

That's also how Helios finds them and they give him shelter in return for his service as their new pilot. No one on their ship has experience with the controls and most of the time the autopilot has been in control, but since Helios has picked up some useful skills a while ago, he is qualified enough to do it on his own.

Now, since Nightjet is the head of security, he has to keep an optic on the new arrivals and make sure they don't cause any trouble. Being the only one with the patience to observe the small heliformer shift for shift, he starts to notice things.

Helios' forced positivity that scares off most mechs on the ship is just a mask he wears in public and it is there to cover the hurt that has accumulalted over the years, as well as a desparate attempt to communicate with the outside world that he still has no idea how it works.

Nightjet takes one look at the frail figure underneath his persona and decides that this guy needs a friend - so he will be his friend.

He looks after him and makes sure he is well fueled and rested for the cycle (by singing him to sleep). Whenever Helios takes a break, Nightjet comes by to chat with him. Because NJ is well liked with the crew, more people start talking to Helios as well, but they still keep their distance.

Helios brings his new friend his daily rations when NJ's shift starts and ends, since their shifts overlap at times. This goes on until they receive a distress signal from an approaching ship.

Firecry's team has disguised itself as Decepticons to retrieve equipment from a Con base in the vicinity, but Carbonlight had betrayed them and kept the acquired materials for himself with which he intends to build something that controls other mechs' minds.

The remaining five team members escape from the Cons and seek refuge from it all, unknowingly attracting the Stellar Observatory whose crew takes them in.

Railjet welcomes them with caution. Five mechs were much more difficult to keep track of and he knows his brother will have a lot of work to do.

A couple of days after their arrival, the ship hosts a dinner party for them. Nightjet is still watching them from afar, but Ironwing has had enough and confronts him about it (politely). Helios just happens to stand right behind NJ when they strike up a conversation and that's when he introduces himself to Ironwing.

The flier is not impressed by his docile behavior and immediately labels him a coward in his mind. But they meet a couple of times in the hallways over the next few weeks and when Ironwing catches NJ and Helios chatting one day, he can't help but be curious.

When Nightjet notices the renewed interest in the two of them, he talks to Ironwing about it and tells him as much as he needs to hear in order to drop the matter - but he doesn't. He's still suffering from Carbonlight's, his best friend's betrayal. His emotions are unstable and therefore he latches onto the first two strangers who talk with him.

A brittle kind of friendship ties them together and they swear in silence that they will always be there for each other.

...

And then Helios dies during the final fight against Carbonlight's reanimated starformers and Ironwing and Nightjet go separate ways because they think they need to cope on their own with the loss of yet another friend.

#ha! pain #this might be the first time i mention the tragic fate i have planned for helios in the main story (both TF and Brave) since the beginning #he sacrifices himself to save his friends by flying into the sun. it is the only way to defeat three planet sized mechs #the icarus parallels are strong with this one. that's the sole (ha! another pun) reason i ever considered helios as his name #he is a helicopter. he has the colors of the sun. he will die like icarus. he will fly into said sun. helios just fits him so well #ryuki blogs asks #seriously there is no limit for asks or requests afaik. even if i didn't reblog an ask game or something similar the ask box is always open #cyber streak sent me 43 asks the other day that I'm answering bit by bit - there really is no limit

[ stroke ] — FOR A CHANGE

CONFIDE IN ME. Upon the vast and resplendent isle, engulfed in the golden radiance of a celestial sphere, the crystal waters of the surrounding expanse kissed the coastal area with tender murmurs. Alive with the vibrancy of botanical life and fauna, a most sublime day crescendoed upon Hawaii's idyllic shores. Zephyr whispered softly through the aromatic trees and tenderly caressed the bronzed skin of mortals who dared to venture onto these paradisiacal sands. As Helios traversed across the azure heavens, the gastropoda left behind their silvery trails in search of some refuge from his scorching gaze.

Children of nature frolicked amongst the spume cast by Poseidon's mighty hand whilst an ethereal melody of gulls and creatures gliding through Neptune's domain wove harmoniously with the song composed by Aeolus' elusive breath. The warmth of Selene's brother an all-encompassing embrace that instilled zest amongst those who partook in festivities on that reverent terrain. They found themselves enraptured by the magnificence of nature's embrace. Touched by divine grace or perhaps AMOROUS enchantment, Orihime's slender digits moved with tender purpose through Kasuga's savage hair, like a soft-spoken sonnet echoing affectionately among the strands. SPLENDOROUS AFFECTION.

“It’s really soft.” Uttered while his physique rested upon her denuded legs. “I never saw such hair as yours, but I do like it.” While lounging on the beach towel, they exchanged lighthearted conversations about their daily lives back home and shared laughter over fond memories they had created together. @ichihero

The Wedding (Ch. 1)

It was a warm summer's day, perfect weather for a wedding. Khione wasn't able to enjoy it though. A wedding was supposed to be a happy day but today, as Khione slithered past her subjects towards her parent, and tried not to look into their solemn eyes, all she felt was dread. She was about to get married to a monster after all. All because of a stupid prophecy. That one horrible, live ending prophecy that was supposed to "unite the kingdoms of sun and moon".

"Unite the kingdoms my ass.." Khione thought to herself bitterly. "All that's come of this is 8 years of unnecessary death" She looked up, and saw her mother, the Queen, with red teary eyes. The Queen reached toward Khione and pulled her daughter into an embrace. She pulled away and cupped Khione's face in her hand.

"Khione.. My only daughter" Tears were now streaming from the queen's eyes. "I'm so sorry. I never wanted this to be your wedding day. You- none of you deserved any of this."

Khione felt tears welling in her eyes now. She blinked them away. "Nobody deserved that fate Mom, but I will accept it. Maybe it'll work this time?"

Her mother looked at her with sad eyes. "I love you Khione. I wish you will bring an end to this. All of the night families have lost a child now, just, stay safe baby. Please?"

Khione leaned into her mother for the last time. "I'm sorry. I love you too Mom."

The priest, a rabbit, stepped towards Khione. "Are you ready my lady?" Khione brought down the black veil in front of her face.

"As I'll ever be." She said as she slithered into the warm sunlight, to meet her doom at the altar.

Sola thought today was the perfect day for a wedding. Also it was perfect weather for a nice lunch outside with her new wife as the main course. Sola was just thinking about which houses of the night kingdom she has eaten from, and then she saw her. "Oh, she's beautiful" Sola thought as she saw the smaller girl slither towards her. "I've never tasted naga before… but then again she is so pretty, and nothing like the boys before her" The two sides of Sola's brain began to battle. As the prophecy dictated, Sola was to marry her Bond, a heir from the Night kingdom, to end an ancient war. She would never be able to digest her Bond, as her stomach was supposed to be a refuge for them, but so far, none of the 7 heirs from the 8 noble houses of Night sent were able to last inside her. Sola wasn't very disappointed though. Each and every suitor was arrogant and tasted average. "But her? She looks.. nice. Not stuck up or vain. I want to protect her. Or devour her. Probably the second one" Her new bride tried climbing up onto the platform to meet Sola's eyes, but couldn't reach it. They platform still hadn't been adjusted since Sola's last wedding. Without thinking, Sola bent down, scooped her up in both hands and held her bride to be, with Sola's hands resting on the platform. As the priest started reciting verses and promises, Sola lifted her bride's veil gently with one finger.

"Oh. Wow.." Sola's heart skipped and her face flushed as she saw her bride's face. Even streaked with tears, She was gorgeous. Her long navy hair was put up into a elaborate bun with locks falling down, framing her delicate features that were cast with shadows as she looked down, avoiding eye contact with Sola.

The smaller priest looked nervous " And do you, Princess Khione Chithon take Princess Sola Helios to be your wife?" "I do." The priest turned. "And do you?" Sola looked into Khione's eyes with a toothy grin. "I would love to." Sola didn't know what feeling she was feeling. Hunger or... Something else, she didn't know. She did know that this was going to be fun. Deliciously fun~.

This was my first story! This is the first part.

YU-GI-OH! GX S/I - BLAKE KOSMOS

-- this bio is a work in progress! it is okay to reblog, but keep in mind it will be edited as the character is developed --

gender: masc leaning nonbinary (he/they pronouns)

age: physically 27, chronologically 100+

etymology: blake is a unisex name that can mean either ‘dark’ or ‘pale’, fitting with his dual nature. his last name comes from the greek κόσμος, used by pythagoras for the order of the universe.

appearance: blake has shoulder-length plum colored hair styled in a flipped-out bob, with his bangs swept to the sides. his eyes are spring green, and he is often seen wearing large circular reading glasses. in seasons 1-2, his outfit consists of a variation on the standard osiris red uniform that resembles a lab coat with a black turtleneck underneath. he carries a custom-made duel disk in the shape of a sundial on his right arm. in season 3, he has longer hair, no glasses, and wears robes similar to witch of the black forest.

personality: blake is a highly intelligent and sharp-witted individual, shown to be able to explain complex topics in an easily understood manner. he is also quite analytical and grasps new concepts quickly, although he is somewhat dimwitted when it comes to topics other than astronomy. while his outward appearance is that of a strict professor, he is kind-hearted and patient with his students outside of class. blake is a skilled duelist, able to think on his feet and react quickly to his opponent’s moves, but he greatly prefers to duel for fun than for any greater purpose.

history: blake is the son of a human and a duel spirit, making him a duel spirit able to take human form. during his childhood he often suffered from seizures, leading the people of his village to believe he was suffering from demonic possession. he found solace in the stars, hidden away from the rest of the world to study in an observatory at the edge of the land. while there, he lived under the care of his human mother, who he calls ‘mama’, and the queen of the cosmos, his ‘mom’. eventually, the villagers raided the hidden observatory, the leader of the coup viewing the cosmo queen as unfit to rule due to believing that she had birthed a demon. as she fought off her attackers, the queen begged blake to flee civilization, giving him a deck containing her card form so that she would always be with him in spirit. during his travels, blake eventually met helios, the spirit of the sun. she led him to a laboratory that was hidden from society, much like the old observatory, and introduced him to her apprentice, an alchemist by the name of amnael. blake took refuge in the laboratory and eventually befriended the two, seeing helios as a role model of sorts. he also began to harbor feelings for amnael, who in turn saw him as a divine genius, much like ancient greeks believed of those with epilepsy. while using the stars to foretell fate, blake saw a vision of amnael’s death. unable to stomach the thought of his beloved’s demise, he dove headfirst into research into alternate dimensions and timelines, becoming obsessive at preventing what had been written in the stars.

deck: pre-season 1, blake uses a “the agent” deck, focused on banishing light-attribute monsters from the graveyard in order to summon his ace monster, master hyperion.

Made a new oc!!

I dub thee Helios Dazzle!! And their pet bat, Brutus, of course.

Helios is a light fairy, who works primarily above grown where the sun shines!! They used to be part of a trio with Flora and Saxa. They were the bestest of friends.

Until one day Helios fled the tribe without explanation (ie, I haven't think of a reason yet...) never to be seen again....

Turns out Helios had taken refuge in one of the abandoned mines, and had bonded with the residents bats, which are natural predators to fairies.

All of my fairy ocs are agender and uses they/it pronouns.

ARCTIC NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE: Journey to the Midnight Sun (Expedition #63)

GUIDES: Leon Chartrand, PhD, Frank Ebersole

ACTIVITIES: NOTE: In order to preserve the uniqueness of this experience and to minimize overuse impacts upon a sensitive arctic landscape, specific locations of our hikes and basecamp will only be given to the finalized roster and will not be listed here. Students will be expected to avoid tagging specific locations of activities upon their return to cellphone service and thereafter.

We arrive in Fairbanks, Alaska for an overnight. After “gearing up” and “fooding up”, we meet Wright Air Service the next day and take an air charter service flight to Arctic Village, where we will spend the night.

From Arctic Village, we will fly using Helios Bush Plane Services into Arctic National Wildlife Refuge at a location along the North Slope of the Brooks Range somewhere 250 miles above the Arctic Circle.

Helios will drop us off at a spot where we will set up a basecamp, our home for the next seven days. From basecamp we will explore the vast arctic tundra in all directions via hiking with access by satellite phones only. We will fly fish for grayling and salmon and gather edible berries (learning to identify the different kinds). We will develop skills in communal survival techniques and live as a small community in one of the most remote places on Earth. We will have plenty of food and plenty of crystal clear glacial water to drink. There will be coffee, too! We can expect to see grizzly bears, caribou, wolves, stoats, Dahl’s sheep, porcupine, Eagles, and migrating birds on this expedition. We will learn about the impacts of climate change and energy usage on caribou migrations in this region as well.

On the seventh day, weather permitting, Helios will come to pick us up and return us to Arctic Village. From Arctic Village, we will return via Wright Air Service to Fairbanks for our last two nights, feeling a sense of great accomplishment.
