As per the result of the poll, here is the little drabble. Though it’s not exactly what many of you expect probably, sorry ☺️ Just didn’t know how else to call it in the poll. I’ve had this idea for a long time so I took the opportunity to write it for this :3

Breathing calmly, Jotaro stared up at the ceiling. It was dark in the room, your soft breathing sounding out from his left while the airconditioning softly whirred.
For the past thirty minutes he’d been lying awake, trying to count your breaths, to inventorise how often you moved.
You were cuddled up into his side, your head on his left arm and your arm and one leg slung over his body. And while he normally would prefer nothing less, right now, it was the last thing he wanted.
Swallowing softly, Jotaro gently rubbed his thumb over the ring finger of your left hand while he was holding it, so deep in thought it was almost an unconscious decision, his mind elsewhere.
Ever so carefully, the man then angled his head down to look at your sleeping face. You always looked so cute in your sleep getup, your mouth slightly parted as you breathed. It helped to solidify his decision.
Lifting his right arm, his heart started beating wildly as he ever so carefully guided your joined hands, lifting it as slowly as he could before placing it by your side, pushing your hand into your chest so that you’d still be comfy.
Next, he carefully started sliding his arm out from underneath your head, grimacing a bit when all that succeeded in was taking you with it.
You shifted a bit and Jotaro froze, watching as you snuggled your head deeper into him, your forehead now rested up against his shoulder. Your leg moved too as you pulled it in slightly, but then you settled and the man blew out a silent but relieved breath.
Swallowing once more, it almost felt like his heart was directly pressed up against his rib cage as he brought his other arm up and gently cradled your head, lifting it ever so slightly and allowing him to slide his arm out from under you.
Realising he was holding his breath, the man didn’t care as he all too slowly put your head down on the pillows, letting you go a moment after with the slowest movements he could muster in his nervousness.
With him now mostly free, Jotaro sat up in bed, looking down at you. Your leg was splayed over his lap and he lifted it gently, shuffling out underneath and placing it back down.
Letting out a heavy breath, he sat on the edge of the bed for a second, trying to settle his racing heart as he looked back at you, watching you curl a bit into yourself.
It was hot these summer nights, but that’s why you had the airconditioning - so that the two of you could still cuddle. But it seemed that without him to leech warmth off of, going without a blanket was just a bit too chilly for you.
That realisation however made his just settled heart speed up once more. He couldn’t have you wake up from being too cold before he was done.
As quietly as he could, he quickly got up before hurrying out of the room, making his way to his office in the pitch dark in record speed - the familiarity of the route making him able to get there without incidents.
Standing in the middle of his office behind his desk, moonlight shone through the window behind him.
With a little shake, Jotaro reached out and opened the top drawer, pulling out a small roll. Inspecting it as he lifted it up to his face, he grabbed the end, seeming tiny in his hands as he pulled slightly, unrolling it and revealing the numbers on it.
Though he had to squint to see them in the moonlight, it was enough and he carefully padded out of the room, making his way back to the bedroom.
Peeking inside, you were still the same - logical since he left only a few minutes ago - and Jotaro stepped inside, feeling his heart start beating faster with every step he approached.
He was seriously going to give himself a heart attack from doing this, Jesus.
Wetting his lips, the man rounded the bed, his eyes laser-focused on your left hand that you held close to your chest. He shouldn’t have pushed it there.
Only mildly cursing himself, Jotaro got to his knees beside the bed, leaning his elbows and waist on the mattress to get a steady position before he reached out, carefully taking hold of your hand.
He briefly debated bringing out Star Platinum and stopping time - it would certainly get rid of every reason for nervousness that he currently had - but he didn’t want to. This was something he wanted to do purely natural.
So, with a shaky breath and beating heart, he pulled your hand close, bringing out the little tape roll and carefully manoeuvring the end of the tiny thing around your ring finger.
Holding his breath, his own shadow blocked out the light from the moon and Jotaro felt his jaw clench while he tried to move until the light would shine in a way he’d be able to see the numbers on the measuring tape.
Arms outstretched and head and shoulders far to the side, finally the light touched your hand and he instantly took note of the numbers.
Repeating them about four times in his head before he dared to move, Jotaro finally let your hand go, breathing out in relief only for you to move, a little groan leaving your sleeping form as you tried to cuddle up to a body that wasn’t there.
As you felt nothing, a little frown formed on your face as you settled with nothing instead and in that moment, a warmth washed through the marine biologist at the bedside.
A soft smile grew on his lips and he leaned in, his knuckles dancing over your cheek as he pressed a kiss to your forehead.
Without much fanfare, he threw the measuring roll behind his nightstand to secretly put away later while he instead hoisted the rest of his body onto the bed, sliding up against you before wrapping his arms around your body, pulling you in.
You fit so perfectly in his arms and Jotaro caught himself in the fond gaze he looked at you with, but none of that mattered.
Tangling his legs with yours, he pulled you even tighter to his body as he closed his eyes, the numbers he’d gotten playing on repeat in his head.
He couldn’t wait to get that ring made for you.

We’re not a part of any of the same fandoms but I love your work anyways! <3
How about glassy eyes, hand to forehead, and “you’re burning up” for any character of your choosing! :)
thank you for the ask <33 sorry it took me so long to get to
In the right direction
characters- Kaz, Inej
Inej knew something was off the moment she stepped through the window. First- she’d had to open it herself. Kaz, for all his tendencies to push people away, always left the window open for her. She liked to think of it as an invitation, the first step to opening up to her
Secondly, Kaz had startled when she entered. He had always possessed a freak sense of when she was near, despite her silence, turning his head in her direction with a greeting. It was a routine. But Kaz had jumped and didn’t say anything, just sniffled and gave her a look that was somehow more tired than usual. She cleared her throat. 
“I’ve got a lead,” At this, Kaz just hummed. Inej sighed. He didn’t have any reason to be difficult. “The best time will be tomorrow. There’s an event happening in another town, so he and his men will be busy.” He graces her with a simple nod. 
Sighing harder, Inej took a step forward. Getting a closer look, she found more oddities. His dark eyes- the color of the same black coffee he always drank, looked shiny. Almost like he’d been crying, but she knew better. There was an irritated redness to the bottom of his nose, and she watched as he sniffled, his nose wrinkling. Finally she connected the dots. 
“You’re sick-” “I’m fine, Inej.” Kaz snapped back, voice taking on an even huskier quality than normal. It sounded like sandpaper, and painful, too, if the way his hand subconsciously went to rub at his throat said anything. She pursed her lips, thinking. There was likely no way- but he wasn’t hiding from her now, so it was worth a shot. She came closer, Kaz’s eyes following her the whole time. 
Inej put a hand up, letting it hover in between them. “Can I check your temperature?” her voice went soft as she asked, and Kaz shifted, clearly uncomfortable with the attention. He looked nervous, and she was about to retract the offer, but at the last moment he nodded, movement so small she almost missed it. 
She was careful as she moved to touch him, every motion clearly intentional. He jumped as she came into contact with his forehead, before allowing himself to lean into the touch the smallest amount as she frowned. “You’re burning up, Kaz.” His eyes met hers for a moment, before he gasped, pushing her hand away as he turned. 
“hiDt’shhiew! hiH- h’NGt!” He sighed, before breaking out into a rough coughing fit that left him desperate for air. Inej watched, almost fascinated with this unusually human display, before mentally shaking herself out of it. He needed help of some kind, and she knew she had a tea that worked wonders on a sore throat. She left, beginning the trek down the long, creaky steps of that slat as he leaned his head back on his old chair, running his thumb along the curves of the crow’s head on his cane. 
Making the tea was an easy affair. Anika gave her a knowing glance as she set the water to boil, but didn’t say anything, to her gratitude. There was no way of knowing what some people might do, knowing the leader of the crows was compromised. She wasn’t sure she wanted to. She searched the old cabinets until she found the honey she was looking for, adding a spoonful to the tea. None of this had been there before Inej- With her came knowledge of what tea to drink when you can’t sleep, or when your stomach was upset, and she’d built up a small collection of different kinds over the years. 
As inej turned back to bring the tea upstairs, she could hear the thump of Kaz's cane on the wooden steps, before it suddenly stopped. Then a sharp gasp, and just as she was about to assume the worst, a choked off noise followed by a sniffle. Eventually, he joined her in the kitchen, the low lighting making him look even more exhausted. 
"You should rest." She whispered, pushing the mug into his free hand. He glared at the comment, but it didn't hold any real anger. He cleared his throat, shifted his weight onto his cane more. "I can't." 
"You need to. You're ill, Kaz." She snapped back. Even now, the armor was painfully slow to come off. Inej knew it was difficult, for both of them, but he had to try. He seemed to realize this, meeting her eyes with an almost sheepish look. 
"Fine. Just for tonight." Was all he said, before turning around and limping back up the stairs. Inej couldn't help her smile. 
It was progress.

Crown Princess Attends Charity Ball
Tumblr media
Last night HIH Crown Princess Ophelia attended the annual Britechester Ball, a fundraising event for Britechester University.
Tumblr media
The yearly Ball is held at Drake Hall- traditionally the home of the Dean of Britechester University as well as the oldest building in Britechester (even older than Darkwing House, HIH's residence!)
Tumblr media
But royal watchers didn't have much to say about the splendor if the event or the style of the Crown Princess' dress- all eyes were instead on HIH's escort... The one and only Mr. Luke Marin!
Tumblr media
Royal fans will remember Mr. Marin as Ophelia's childhood best friend and high school boyfriend until about halfway through her college career. Supporters of the couple were disappointed to hear about their breakup following a university party held in Prince Jonas of Windenburg's favor, and were even more devastated to see the Crown Princess, just one month later at her own birthday party, on the arm of the same Prince Jonas.
Tumblr media
Now it seems after the all too public breakup of Ophelia and Jonas (after the later proposed to the former and was rejected) some months ago, HIH is back with her original man! Fans of #LuPhelia have already taken to the Internet to express their elation at their favorite couple reuniting! And we have to say, we're big fans of it too!
Tumblr media
#LuPhelia fans will note the jewelry chosen by HIH to wear on this special occasion. It's not just Britechester Emeralds dangling from her ears or her trusty Ivanov Rose ring on her finger, but also a once familiar necklace hanging around her neck 👀
Tumblr media
The tiny green heart on a gold chain must have been sitting in HIH's jewelry box for quite a few years, waiting for it's day in the sun again. The Crown Princess was gifted the necklace by Mr. Marin for their anniversary all those years ago. She must have been unable to part with it, even during her relationship with Prince Jonas. Can we just say- how sweet?!
Tumblr media
We love these two together, and we're so glad the Crown Princess is happy once again! Who could be a better fit for the Princess of Britechester than a down-to-earth Britechester native who loves her with all his heart? We're rooting for you guys! #LuPhelia

could u do a lil fic with moondrop sneezing??? maybe a reckless kid blew glitter into his face ??? that would be sooo cute >-<
OMG OMG OMG OMG YAAAAS!! I actually had this same idea earlier, except with Sun, but I am more than happy to try it with Moon!
The events in this fic take place before the GlitchTrap virus, so Moon isn't trying to kill the children. Also, Sun and Moon share the same animatronic, but they are two separate consciousnesses. They can talk to each other and other various things.
| I am allowed to write what I want and I would appreciate if you keep whatever rude comments you have to yourself |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was just a normal afternoon in the SuperStar Daycare. Sun was playing with a group of children. He was doing a puppet show. After he finished with that, he and the group of children walked over to a small table with a few other children at it. On the table were various arts and crafts items: feathers, glitter, sequins, glue, beads, string, construction paper, ect. “Hello, Friends! Can we join you?” The at the table look at each other and nod in agreement. Sun smiles as he and the children sit down.
After a little while some of the children had wandered off. Sun hadn’t been paying all that close of attention to what the children had been doing with said items on the table. He was just happy to see them have fun. “Alright, I’m going to go check on our friends in the ball pit.” He got up from the table and walked away.
Little did anyone know that leaving a handful of children unattended with a bunch of glitter and paper was a BIG mistake. Sun had hopped into the ball pit to play with the children there, when the lights suddenly clicked off. Sun looked a bit dazed for a moment before the rays of sun on the sides of his head pulled in and his bright shades of yellow faded into a deep blue.
Is it another power outage?
Nah, I think someone just turned out the lights. I can hear the AC is still running.
A few of the children screamed, startled by the sudden darkness. “Now, now children, it’s alright,” Moon’s soothing voice said calmly. “I think someone just turned out the lights by accident.”
Moon leaped out of the ball pit to access the situation. It was pretty dark when the lights were off, because there were no windows, but the daycare was built that way so the children could easily nap. Moons blue eyes glowed in the darkness.
Moon walked round for a bit trying to find the lights. As he slowly approached the corner where the light switch was, he could hear several children giggling. "Friends, are you alright? I cannot see you in this dark. Why did you turn off the lights?" He felt around, eventually finding the light switch. Flicking the lights on, he saw four children standing in front of him. One was standing on top of a chair with a paper plate. Without missing a beat, the child thrust the plate full of glitter into his face, turned the lights back off and ran. The rest of the children laughed as they quickly followed him into the darkness.
Moon! Are you OK?
"Hah-NXXT!! Heik-KSSH! H'tchhs!! Nxxt! Eh'xx'uoo!!" Moon made an attempt to shake off most of the glitter, but the damage was already done. I was not expecting that. I wonder what lead them to do that. He sniffled, but that only made the tickle worse. "hiih hhh HIH-!! Hh-tchhs!! Eh'nxxt! H'ktchs!! Ashht!! Hah...HH-!"
Damnit...
Go in the space above the ball pit. You'll be alone there.
Attaching themselves to the hanging wire that allowed them to 'fly' around the daycare, Moon jumped up and soared over to the small room. It was pretty dark in the room, so Moon was able to remain easily in control. "HA'SHIS!! A'TCH! HEIK'SHOO!! Eih'xx'ouu!! Hh hhih hih...haah, I chhhn't st-stop sneeEEH'SSHOOU!! Herrih'shoo!! Heh'shuh Hi'tchs!! Ha'chs, 'chs, -tchs, hhh hiih HA'TCHHH!!"
______________________________________________________________
"And that, friends, why we use Glitter Glue in the daycare instead of just plain glitter," Sun said smiling. The children were all laughing and smiling. This story had become a tradition to tell at the beginning of a new year in the DayCare. One child raised their hand. "What happened to the children who threw the glitter in Moon's face?"
"They were put in the time out corner."
"Oh."
The children continued to giggle. Sun smiled. "Well, it's nap time children, get on your sleeping mats." Sun waited a moment for the children to all get comfortable. "Good night, friends." He turned the lights off.

Guests Arrive for the Christening of Princess Magdalena 
This morning we celebrate the christening of Her Royal Highness Princess Magdalena of Ancastor! Guests are gathering at Ancastor Cathedral, from foreign royalty to our local favorites. 
First to arrive we see one of the infant Princess’ aunts, HRH Princess Valentina of Castille. The Castillian royal has been spotted on and off in Lunaria since the birth of her niece and has reportedly been trying to support her older sister, Princess Isadora, who is reportedly having trouble adjusting to being a mother.
TM King Dante and Queen Ashli of Windsor arrive next with their two daughters, TRH Princesses Karissa and Kassandra following behind them. TM’s other three children were unable to be in attendance due to other commitments. Rumor has it that HM King Dante has been selected as one of Princess Magdalena’s godparents.
Here to support her childhood friend we spot HRH Princess Elizabeth of Rivenia giving a cheerful wave to the gathered press gathered outside the cathedral. The Rivenian native currently resides here in Windenburg to run her successful art gallery, the Montgomery Gallery of Classical Arts. Prince Nicky is rumored to have bought several pieces from her to decorate Whiteglenn Manor, his official residence, with. 
Also arriving for the event this afternoon are the Duke and Duchess of Ely. His Grace the Duke is the godfather of Crown Prince Nicholas and remains one of HM the King’s closest friends despite their reportedly many disagreements on the running of the HoL. The Duke’s wife, Duchess Sofia, is the current head of the Carmichael banking empire and has shockingly named her eldest daughter, Lady Larissa Ely-Quinn, as her sole heir. The decision shocked many in Lunaria since it goes entirely against the tradition of overlooking daughters in favor of one’s sons. The couple’s only son, William, is still set to inherit his father’s Dukedom however.
After the Duke and Duchess we see Lady Alaina Montgomery-Woods hand-in-hand with her new husband, Alexander Woods. Lady Alaina is the daughter of TRH the Duke and Duchess of Asteria, making her King Arden’s first cousin; the Rivenian noble is attending on behalf of her father, who is unable to travel due to his health, which has been declining since the death of his wife, Aimee, three years ago.
Also representing Rivenia today, HRH Princess Elissa arrives solo to the cathedral despite rumors of her relationship with one Sawyer Quinn, son of the Duke of Andale. “The Elusive Princess”, as she has been dubbed by Rivenia’s press, has remained largely on the outskirts of her family since her father, the late King Dorian, had included her in the succession despite being born outside of his marriage. HRH takes on the least amount of engagements and lives mostly off of her own fortune, gained during her time as a high-level mechanical engineer at Colson Tech one of the top internationally ranked tech companies. She is several years Sawyer Quinn’s senior.
Next we spot Elliott Hampton and his fiancée supermodel Lisa Cartwright. Mr. hampton is the Crown Prince’s best friend, the two having met while they attended the University of Britechester together. Prince Nicky is his best man for his upcoming wedding and will be hosting his bachelor’s party soon.
The press went absolutely wild upon the arrival of HIH Princess Minerva of Pierreland (@officalroyalsofpierreland) as she stepped up to the cathedral. The Ambassador from Pierreland is a surprise appearance on the guest list considering the animosity Princess Isadora reportedly feels towards her (It can be noted that the Crown Prince’s fiancée has frequently verbally attacked any woman to have had romantic or even friendly involvement with Prince Nicky!). The Pierrelander princess (who looks flawless despite only just returning to Lunaria only two days ago and has been reportedly working nonstop since) seems quite comfortable attending, however, giving a quick little wave to the gathered paps before entering the cathedral. Looks like she isn’t afraid of her ex’s crazy fiancée at all – good for her!

Hi, nice to meet you!
As a fellow Gavin stan, I found your analysis quite interesting and I'm very happy that someone finally understand the other side of our ginkgo boy... Idk whether you play in CN server or MLQC. I'm just curious, what do you think of Gavin in S2? Because I hear that everything is gonna be different. Also, the latest main story in CN server--do you think the story will be more angst?
Thank youu..
Waiting for more analyzes from you ❤
Dear Anon, 
Thank you very much for your kind words and I’m also happy to meet you ^_^
Please excuse my belated answer. I waited specifically for cheri’s translation of the S2 CH11, so that I could give you a worthy answer <3
I play MLQC, because I don’t understand Chinese (yet), so I am following @cheri-translates on a daily basis for the season 2 material. (Thank you cheri, you’re the best! (ɔˆ ³(ˆ⌣ˆc) )
From what we get so far, Gavin shows some differences in his aura and character in S2 due to two main reasons:
1) He didn’t have the extreme teenage drama from S1 (except for his mother’s passing)
2) He and MC were companions during high school, so their relationship has a healthier fundament.
The events of the second season take place in a “parallel universe”, therefore MC’s relationships vary from those in S1. But also the Loveland City they are in is a different one, with different players but also different villains. So things DO change in S2 in general.
What do I think about Gavin in S2?
I - AM - IN - LOOOOOOOVVVEEEE - WITH - HIM!!! <3 <3 <3
Gavin was the main reason I watched the anime and downloaded the game in the first place. He was a very caring, understanding, talented and *ehm extremely good looking guy. He still is btw. This guy has a very big heart and is the most human among all LIs if you ask me. But sometimes I had the feeling in S1, that he wasn’t reaching to his full potential. His love for MC was at times awkward, mainly because he doubted himself a lot and was underestimating himself in many topics with regards to MC. His past with his father and brother was also weighting on him big time. Thus affecting his actions to a great extent. Gavin’s potential was bound by ball and chains and he didn’t seem to be able to free himself from them. And yet, he was a resilient guy, who made peace with his past, always finding the love&faith in his heart and following his own path. Those unnecessary insecurities caused by his experiences were Gav-babe’s downside in S1.
In the second season, we meet a very self confident Gavin who doesn’t get worked up in front of MC easily, let alone shy away from her. On the contrary, Gavin is teasing MC shamelessly and even toys around with her as he lets her hover over the ocean. Would you ever think that S1 Gavin would dare to do that? :D He interrogates her just for the kicks even though he doesn’t suspect her one bit, or asks her if he should detain her, since she looked like she was asking for it (I really recommend you to read the scene in CH11). Gavin is carefree towards MC and this makes him unbelievably attractive. Sure, I was surprised at first as I saw him immobilizing MC after meeting her for the first time after many years and was afraid, that he would be hostile towards her. Thankfully, this wasn’t the case...so far.
In S1, Gavin and MC were already in a harmonious relationship and were moving forward side by side gradually. But they were also having difficulties in terms of protecting each other from harm’s way and hiding their dangerous missions or wounds from each other. Which didn’t go along with a healthy relationship, even though they came a long way by the end of the S1. Plus, their positions weren’t even equal in respect of being a couple since Gavin was quite the simp and was insecure at times about his interactions with the MC. There was a teenage Gavin in him, who was telling him that he wasn’t good enough for her, that he is useless, that he is worthless. Therefore he always had his gloves on, so the speak.  
These insecurities are downed to a minimum in S2 and Gavin no longer has the self loathing inner thoughts, so it feels as though, he is the real Gavin. The Gavin who he could be, he should be. Up to this point (S2 CH11). I feel like we are watching a Gavin who’s reached, or is reaching, to his full potential. 
In S2, we see him co-operating with MC right from the beginning with little reluctance at first, which is natural since -you know- they are working for the opposing sides. But then we saw in CH11, that they make one hell of a team! In all honesty, Gavin and MC don’t even need to talk to each other to understand what the other thinks. We witnessed many times in S1 when they were thinking/saying/doing the same thing at the same time. But this time, they are aware of the fact that they can see through each other without words. Moreover, they banter with each other by calling one another out. Which is mostly Gavin calling her out btw. This almost flirt-like sweet bantering makes their interaction all the more titillating to me. The chemistry between them is very evident and Papergames makes sure to let us producers know, the attraction is mutual and on equal grounds. Maybe its only my opinion, but I find S2 Gavin way more sexier than the Version 1.0. But its probably because I find self-confidence to be the sexiest trait a person can have. 
On a side note, Gavin also doesn’t display jealousy as in S1 and I believe this also has to do with his self confidence. Jealousy is an emotion which arouses from lack of self-confidence and trust. And the level of trust Gavin and MC share in S2 is off the charts, dare I claim.
One might even say, that the tables have turned in S2. MC has her memories from S1 whereas Gavin has started having flashbacks or dreams about their past just recently. Because of that MC already carries her romantic feelings from S1, she is the one with denser emotions in the new chapters and is rather insecure in front of Gavin. Thus making herself vulnerable for his “toying sessions”. Gavin on the other hand is beginning to explore his heart’s desires towards MC only piece by piece. He cares a great deal about her and is drawn to her inevitably, but can’t quite put his finger on it. His body and soul is already reacting to her, but his mind is a little bit slow on this front. But as stated in R&S “Inevitable”, his heart is destined to get drawn to hers. 
Whether the story is going to get angstier...Let’s not fool ourselves, Papergames has the word angst in block letters carved in marble in their office. So yeah, I am pretty sure that the story is going to get angstier. But I haven’t seen anything as angsty as in S1 CH13, 14, 15, 18. Those chapters were really hard to read, but let’s wait and see.
Another important point about Gavin’s character in S2 is related to his position. He is now the Commander of the STF and therefore carries a heavier responsibility than in S1. We see in every chapter how strategically he is acting and picking the best option in which nobody gets hurt. He is still a maverick and does things in his own way and yet he is now well aware of the fact that each of his actions are affecting great numbers of people. With his subordinates he shares special bonds all the while keeping them disciplined and whatever he does, he prioritizes everybody’s safety equally (only with MC as an exception).  Of course, this was one of his strengths also in S1, but in S2, he can have a bigger impact, since he has more resources to do so. He has become the perfect leader.
Which can be tied to his balanced temper. In S1 there were times, where Gavin wasn’t able to control his Evol and caused mayhem. We haven’t seen any uproar like this in S1 so far. Gavin is in control of his Evol, his emotions and his blushes...hih...well... almost. But he certainly blushes much less in S2. 
So to sum it up, yes, Gavin is different in S2, but in all the good ways and I couldn’t find anything that goes in the wrong direction so far. We have a more mature, confident and experienced Gavin in S2 and I can simply say:
AMEN
I hope my answers can help you with your questions and you can always feel free the contact me if you have any questions...be it anonymously or not.
Have a nice weekend dear anon! d=(´▽`)=b

 ~ Emperor Nicholas II paid Fabergé 8,300 rubles for the purchase of a souvenir, now known as The Rose Trellis Egg. In the bill dated April 24, 1907, the Easter gift to Empress Alexandra Feodorovna is described as follows: "An egg of green enamel with branches of diamond roses and leaves of enamel. 1 diamond and diamond roses. Inside is a diamond chain with a medallion with a miniature of HIH Grand Duke Tsarevich Alexei Nikolaevich." It was quite an expensive purchase. According to the annual statistics of prices for bread and labor in St. Petersburg in 1853-1910, a qualified carpenter in 1907 was paid only 163 kopecks a day. However, this Easter egg became one of Alexandra Feodorovna's most favorite. Created by Henrik Wigström, it was decorated with flowers of the Empress' preferred pink shade. The rosebuds were placed on a greenish-yellow guilloché enamel. Since the Egg matched the color of the interior, it remained in the corner showcase of Her Majesty's Study in the Winter Palace until The Russian Revolution. The Romanovs had not lived there since 1904, but there were still a lot of valuables stored in their apartments. In May 1917, The Provisional Government's commission decided to take the most important objects for special storage. And although The Rose Trellis Egg was then called one of the "objects that have no destination", Alexandra Fedorovna considered this Egg the most functional because of its surprise. A platinum pendant with a diamond circle and an ivory miniature of her beloved son on a platinum chain with diamonds (in the characteristic Fabergé shape) was included by the Empress in the list of her personal jewels under no. 371. She often wore this piece during daytime events. After The Revolution, she obviously took it with her to Tobolsk in exile. The Rose Trellis Egg was sold by the Bolsheviks in the 1920s, and in 1930 it was bought by American collector Henry Walters. Today, this important Fabergé Egg without a lost surprise can be seen at The Walters Art Museum in Mount Vernon, USA. ~

Charity Polo Event | Part 2
The Polo Match was neck and neck most of the day with several guests and members of the Imperial family camping out on the lush grasses, including HIM Empress Katalina with HRM Queen Alma of Simovia, and HRH Crown Princess Elodie, Duchess of Tursberry who has been watching with HIH Princess Minerva while HIH plays with a young HRH Princess Magdalena of Lunaria, who is in attendance with her father Crown Prince Nicholas of Lunaria and surprisingly without her mother Princess Isadora of Castile. Their Graces the Dukes of Anjou and Bordeaux were also seen chilling out in the sunshine with TRH Princesses Elisabeth and Aurora of Simnovia away from everyone.

HRH Prince John of Kinsdale
HRH Prince Phillip, Duke of Woodbine
HRH Crown Prince Nicholas of Lunaria
HIM Emperor David

HIH Prince Henri of Francesim
HRH Prince Oliver of Cedoria
HRH Hadrian von Habsburg, Duke of Lancastershire
HMHL Arthur, the Earl of Loch Haven
HM King David of Fairchester
The match was a bit of a nail biter between the two teams particularly the two competitive captains with HIM Emperor David and his team snatching a narrow victory with every charity gaining more than a million of Simoleans each.
(Author's note: Thank you to everyone for sending sims! This was really fun to do! Stay tuned for some BTS posts...cause...things happened during and after this event)

PALACE RELEASES OFFICIAL WEDDING PORTRAIT AND DETAILS FOR PRINCE WILLIAM AND PRINCESS MARIA THERESA
In a surprise media release from Winterven Palace today, the King and Queen Consort debuted the official wedding portrait of Prince William and Princess Maria Theresa. The pair married in a private ceremony earlier this week in a private ceremony that was attended by royals from all over the Simtinent. “As the future King and Queen, Will and Maria understood that a lot of their lives would be in the public eye -- so much so that they wanted to make sure their wedding was a day for them, their families, and the assembled guests,” said a source close to the family.
Highlights of foreign royals that were on the guest list include:
TM King George V and Queen Caroline of the United Kingdom ( @royaltysimblr )
HM Queen Alice and HRH Prince Consort Leo of Véllia ( @kingdomofvellia )
HRH Princess Claire of Carrington ( @royalhouseofcarrington )
TRH the Duke and Duchess of Clifton ( @houseofroyalsims )
HRH Cassandra, Duchess of Casserta ( @markinghamroyals )
HM Queen Eleanor of Elvaria ( @reigningsims )
HRM Queen Alma of Simovia ( @simoviacourt )
HRH Princess Adelaide of Valencia ( @thevalencianroyals )
TRH the Duke and Duchess of Worcester ( @royalfamilyofgrimalldi )
TIH the Duke and Duchess of Uplic ( @sims4monarchist )
The bride wore an A-line dress with a sweetheart neckline and an illusion neckline and long sleeves of handmade lace, perfect for the mid-spring ceremony. Her veil belonged to her mother, Queen Antonia,  when she was married, and the bride’s father, HM King Eduardo of Monte Vista, walked her down the aisle. She wore her hair in an elegant up-do with pearl-drop earrings, and was given the Brevellshire Tiara as a wedding gift from the royal vault. Prince William wore his formal uniform for the occasion, as he has for formal events following the second Great War. Members of the bridal party included:
HIH Tsarveich Edward of Krasnoyarsk as Prince William’s best man ( @krasnoyarsk-nobility )
 HRH Belle, Princess Royal of the Winden Territories as Princess Maria Theresa’s maid of honor
Princess Annaliese of Elvaria, Crown Princess Beatrix of Simovia, and Lady Keira Ward of Valencia as flower girls
Prince Shiloh Liard, Prince Alexander of Daven, and Prince George of Sudeley as page boys
The Palace also announced today that the pair will officially be known as Their Royal Highnesses, the Duke and Duchess of Brevell, the customary title for the heir and their spouse. Princess Maria Theresa will now be styled as Her Royal Highness Princess Maria Theresa, Duchess of Brevell. It is said that the pair will be embarking on a honeymoon within the next week or two that will last two weeks in an undisclosed location, with rumours circulating that they’ll be doing a tour of the surrounding countries as a start to their work as the future King and Queen of the Winden Territories. 
Congratulations, Your Royal Highnesses -- may your marriage be a long and happy one!

Véllia-Byukuya state visit comes to its end, emperor hosts banquet in honor of the guests
The Véllia-Byukuya state visit has come to its end. After three days of official business, it was time to bid farewell to the visiting royals and return to everyday life.
The final event was a state dinner hosted at Shinishima castle by HIM Emperor Ryoma, with the support of his wife Scarlet of Byukuya and little sister HIH Princess Sakura. 
Tumblr media
The entire Byukuyian royal family attended the banquet, including Lady Hinoka of Hokaido, née Princess of Byukuya, and her husband Lord Tsubaki of Hokaido (seen in the way back). Many of Byukuya’s ambassadors and important figureheads were also invited to the dinner.
Tumblr media
HM Queen Alice and HIM Emperor Ryoma was seen having a good time with the other’s company and the food served to them. However, it was noted by various people that Queen Alice did not drink any of the wine served to her, instead asking for water the entire night.
This was also noticed by the Byukuyian emperor, but when he urged the queen to drink some, she politely declined. As a result, pregnancy rumors have sparked all over Véllia.
Tumblr media
From left to right, back row; HRH Princess Sakura of Byukuya, Lady Hinoka of Hokaido, Lord Tsubaki of Hokaido, HRH Prince Leo of Véllia, Scarlet of Byukuya, HIH Princess Oboro of Byukuya, HIH Prince Takahiro of Byukuya, HRH Zara of Véllia. Left to right, front row: Lady Chouko of Hokaido, HM Queen Alice of Véllia, HIM Emperor Ryoma of Byukuya, Prince Shiloh Lital.
The state visit was completed with the publication of a photo of the two families together. Despite not being allowed to take part in the banquet, both Prince Shiloh and Lady Chouko of Hokaido was present for the portrait.
It was later announced that the Véllian royals had boarded their flight back to Gyges.
Both royal families later published statements to their social media, thanking the other for the time spent together.

Welcome to Sims Petersburg Imperial Palace!! A private tour of HIM Tsarina Alexandra Private Apartments
Welcome one more to Sims Petersburg Imperial palace, the official residence of the Simpire Monarchs and my never-ending undergoing building project for the Simpire simblr story :). 
This project wouldn’t have been possible without the amazing contents of numerous creators, many researches and photos but ,most importantly, The Winter Palace Research blog (for floor plans and old photos of the palace in use) and the amazing Hermitage museum 360º tour!!
Without them it would be nearly impossible to build this palaces as close as I can ( and as sims 4 allow😅)!!
Thanks to all!!!
Now let’s start our exclusive tour through HIM Tsarina Alexandra Private Apartments, hope you enjoy the tour as much as I’m loving building this Palace :)
Her Imperial Majesty, Tsarina Alexandra Simnov of Simpire, welcomes you into her Private apartments on the official residence of Simpire, the grand Sims Petersburg Imperial Palace. Since Her Imperial Majesty is not in residence, for she is visiting Her sister-in-law, HIH Grand Duchess Anastasia Duchess of  Oldenburg, a special permission for our so requested tour of HIM Private Apartments in the Piano Nobile, was finally granted. ( just finished them 😅)
Arriving at the Imperial Palace from the Grand Palace Square, we find it’s main formal façade. HIM’s Private apartments face the grand square and the private garden of the palace and is located in its southwestern block
As we head to the southwestern block of the palace and climb through one of the ramps, we find HIM private entrance, this entrance leads directly to the private apartments of the Tsarina and is used whenever HIM arrives at the palace and wants to go directly to Her private quarters. 
Tumblr media
Entering throw this doorway and turning right we find the October Staircase the grand ... 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
... entrance to HIM private apartments. Restored and redecorated after great fire that destroyed the palace in 1837 the monumentality of the entrance was accentuated with sculptures and reliefs.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Today this room does not bear its original name and instead of HIM Grand Staircases, It was changed into October Staircase. A name chosen in memory of the revolutionary events of October 1917, when those storming the Palace entered the building by this route. The Staircase gives access to all of HIM private apartments, from the left we get access to the State Rooms of Tsarina Alexandra private apartments and from the right Her most private rooms...
Tumblr media
We will take the door of the left and start our tour through the State Rooms of Tsarina Alexandra private apartments... please follow me...
Tumblr media
The first room in our tour is HIM Own Staircase Landing a passage room that gives access, in one side, to the Hall of Cuirassiers first room of HIM State Rooms, and in the other side... 
Tumblr media
... to HIM Own Corridor leading to the Small Fieldmarshal Hall, that we will visit shortly, some small rooms and a staircase... now please follow me and we will continue our tour to the...
Tumblr media
...the Hall of Cuirassiers. This hall is part of HIM state rooms and, at the same time, the first of the Military Halls. It is in this room where a Garrison of the Imperial Guard was an d is placed to protect and receive HIM (as in the last post) on formal occasions in Tsarina Private apartments.
Tumblr media
continuing with our tour, this hall leads from one side to the Military Halls and in the other side to...
Tumblr media
... the White hall. This magnificent hall was designed by Alexander Briullov in 1841 before the wedding of Grand Duke Alexander Nicholaevich (future Alexander II and Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This tremendously large ceremonial hall, elegantly decorated with shades of white, is used for various celebrations and balls. The sculptural decoration of this hall designed for the Heir to the throne, and his wife, became the embodiment of the future Tsar reign, calling to  mind the might and greatness of Simpire and symbolizing the flourishing of the arts...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This great hall connects manny rooms around it, from one side the Hall of Cuirassiers, the Gold Drawing Room, the Green Dining Room and HIM Private corridor. Now If you may follow me we will enter...
Tumblr media
...The Gold Drawing Room. This room redecorated by Alexander Brullov in 1841,  is notable for the opulence of its decor and its abundance of gold leaf. Ita was originally based on the Bavarian kings’ throne room in the Munich Residenz.
Tumblr media
This Drawing Room is used for receptions, dances, and dinners for guests- in this room guests who just arrived wait for the private audiences. In December the Gold Drawing Room would be decorated with Christmas trees: each member of the Imperial Family have their own personal tree, with a table nearby for presents.
Tumblr media
This magnificent Hall connects the white hall from one side, the green dinning room and the crimson Drawing room. Now let us take the door in our right and enter the...
Tumblr media
Green Dinning room. In 1840, A. Briullov designed an interior staircase between the Gold Drawing Room and the White Hall in the apartments of Empress Marie Alexandrovna on the 2nd floor of the Winter Palace. As the rooms of the Empress had no space for books, she arranged bookcases on the walls of the staircase landing.
Tumblr media
There was no dining room in the apartments of Alexander II and Empress Marie. They ate their meals with Nicholas I’s family in one of the three dining rooms in Empress Alexandra’s suite. In 1850, A. Stakenschneider demolished the staircase and created the green dining room in the rococo style we see today.
Tumblr media
There are no windows in the dining room. The three doors that led to the Gold Drawing Room, White Hall and service pantry allowed the architect to add three fake doors for symmetry. The table extends to seat the 24 chairs and is normally used for small family dinners, meetings and receptions. 
Tumblr media
Let’s now return to the Gold Drawing Room and continue our visit to...
Tumblr media
... the Crimson Drawing Room or Study. This room serves as a transition between HIM Private and State Rooms. The room was decorated by Briullov in 1841 and reworked by Stakenschneider in the 1860s.
Tumblr media
The room gets his name from the silk fabric color. The rich red color of the walls and curtains combines perfectly with the white stucco highlighted with gold leaf decorations on the ceiling. This room was, and still is, the setting for small concerts in which celebrated musicians and singers participate.
The crimson drawing room is used by HIM to receive relatives and personal guests as well as study to the Tsarina.
Tumblr media
Now if you’ll follow me into the next room...
Tumblr media
... HIM Boudoir. The boudoir was created for Tsarina Maria Alexandrovna 1841, by Briullov and lately reworked, by HIM request, in 1850′s by Harald Bosse one of the leading architects of the 19th century. 
Tumblr media
Bosse produced an interior in the Rococo revival style in white, gold and Red and with a alcove is framed by a rich and elaborately shaped arch with caryatids. 
Tumblr media
This room is used by the Tsarina to entertain family meetings and some more close friends.  
Tumblr media
Following the tour, the next room we will enter is...
Tumblr media
... HIM Tsarina Alexandra’s Bedroom. This bedroom was created for HIM Tsarina Maria Alexandrovna by Briullov In 1840.
The deep blue color of the walls contrast perfectly with  the white and gold exquisites arabesques of the vaulted ceiling, pilasters and columns.
Tumblr media
The interior of this room gets a sense of dynamism from the combination of the coved  vaulted ceiling, over the main part, and cross vaulting above the sleeping area. The cubicle marked by a pair of columns and silk drapes to enclose the bed area. Although a part of HIM Tsarina Alexandra Apartments the Bedroom is used by both sovereigns.
Tumblr media
TIM’s Bedroom gives access to, from one side, HIM bathroom and, in the other, the more modern and private rooms. Let’s follow our tour to the...
Tumblr media
... HIM Bathroom. After the revolution and the transformation of the palace to a museum this bathroom was destroyed. After the restoration of the Imperial Regime, Their Imperial Majesties started the reconstruction process of the main apartments as they were. This bathroom was made to resemble the one Marie Alexandrovna had in this same room, but with the modern amenities.  Let us continue our tour to the...
Tumblr media
... HIM Dressing room.  Briullov in 1841, decorated the dressing room all in pink; draped walls in pink fabric, curtains, upholstery, bed covers. The door on the left of Marie’s dressing room led to Alexander’s library and on the right to her bathroom and bedroom. 
Tumblr media
But, in 1845, Briullov redecorated the dressing room in dark blue using silk damask on the walls. He added the frieze along the top of the walls that incorporated Drollinger’s paintings of Peterhof, i.e. the Farm Palace, Gothic Chapel, etc., that are still to be seen today.
A small door hidden behind the screen on the right led to the staircase to the 1st floor children’s nurseries.
Tumblr media
This room connects HIM’s apartments with HIM the Tsar apartments and to the Small Fieldmarshal Hal.
We will continue our tour of the palace through the door in the back, the one that connects HIM dressing room to...
Tumblr media
... the Small Fieldmarshal Hal...
Tumblr media
...it is in this hall where a garrison of the Imperial Guard is placed to protect HIM’s bedroom. Here we can find portraits famous of Simpire rulers and today this Hall is used for small receptions, private concerts, meetings, dinners and larger events for the 1st Spare apartment.
Tumblr media
This Hall connects Her Imperial Majesty’s private apartments, the Dark Corridor, the  1st Spare apartment and HIM Own Corridor leading to the October staircase.
Tumblr media
Now let’s see HIM’s most modern additions to the palace, Her private and most daily used rooms...Passing through HIM Own Corridor...
Tumblr media
....HIM Own Staircase Landing...
Tumblr media
...The October Staircase and pass throng the right side door this time into...
Tumblr media
... HIM Private Corridor. This corridor links the October staircase to HIM Modern Dining room, Modern drawing room, the Green Dinning room and the White Hall... for this corridor a contract between classic and modern was chosen... let's  continue to the...
Tumblr media
... Modern Dinning room...
Tumblr media
... since the revolution and the later palace conversion into a museum, many room where simplified and lost their royal appearance, a fact that allowed the current monarchs to leave their mark in the palace. In these 3 rooms her majesty decided to use dark wall colors to contrast with the rest of the rooms in her apartments and decorated with a collection of modern and contemporary art. 
Tumblr media
With the intention of representing the best of Simpire artists on the Imperial collection, and being a well known patron of the arts, His Imperial Majesty Tsar Nicholas III Simnov decided to invite all of them to paint the vaulted ceilings, walls and other objects in some of the palace rooms.
 In HIM’s Modern Dinning  the artist invited was the well known painting МАКСИМ КАНТОР. 
Following the tour we will enter...
Tumblr media
... HIM modern Drawing room....
Tumblr media
Here a dark grey wall color and modern furniture was chosen to contrast with the new striking red vaulted ceiling...
Tumblr media
... for this room His Imperial Majesty chose the famous painter Vitaly Komar... this set of modern rooms connect directly to...
Tumblr media
HIM Tsarina Alexandra bedroom... Now, I’m sorry but we have to leave the apartments... just got the information that Her Imperial Majesty’s car is arriving at the square... having already seen all the rooms in our tour, please follow me as we exit through the Palace inner courtyard...
Tumblr media
Hope you enjoyed our tour through HIM Tsarina Alexandra Simnov Private Apartments of Sims Petersburg Imperial Palace. Those will be some of the palace rooms featuring in the story!!

Happy Birthday Matthew!
Tumblr media
His Imperial Highness, Prince-Consort Matthew Norton celebrates his birthday today!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Prince has always been a particularly private person, and so it's no surprise to anyone that the Imperial Palace has not released details as to how HIH plans to spend his big day.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
However a source from within the Palace has said that a small dinner is planned with only his immediate family, and then a casual board game night to follow. Seems like just the kind of low-key event we could've imagined.
Tumblr media
There are some that are wondering if the dinner with "immediate family" will include HIH Crown Princess Ophelia. After her very public break-up with Prince Jonas only last week, the Crown Princess has not been seen leaving her home at Darkwing House in Britechester. Will her father's birthday be enough to pull her from the shadows? Or will she continue to hide from the choices she's made?
Tumblr media
Regardless of how the Imperial Heir may be doing, the Imperial Marriage is as strong as ever! In honor of the Prince's birthday, a new set of photos of him and the Tsarina were released, showing just how happy and in love they still are- after many years of marriage, three kids, and an entire Empire to run.
Tumblr media
Happy birthday Prince Matthew! Your kindness and love inspires us all!
