Hi Vilandel!
For the writers ask game how about 21, 24 and 2? 💕
Hello Lola, thank you for the ask 💕
21, 24 and 2, let's go!
7 ☘️ … that I liked but had to cut
Hm, the only thing that comes close to that in my memories is the original ending to an oneshot I wrote back in 2022. But the actual ending fit better with what I intended to write with this story. I actually ended up preferring the final ending more than what I originally planned.
Without letting go of the blanket, Vanessa turned in Nozels arms and gave him a soft kiss on the lips.
“Ugh, gross.”
“Shut up, Solid!”
“Oh my, the prince and the witch are getting naughty.”
“What do you mean, Zora? They’re just loving with each other.”
Vanessa broke the slowly, so that Nozel could still savour the lingering of her lips on his.
“So, until now, do you like it, handsome?” she whispered, so that he was the only one to hear her.
“Yes.”
Vanessa smiled, before turning around and clap her hands to get everyone’s attention. “Okay, people, he opened all the presents and now it’s time for cake.”
Nozel smiled. He just felt so happy, like he never did for years on his birthday. Honestly, he would love to have something blissful like that again next year. All seven of them together, so casually and genuinely happy.
They started eating the cake and ended up spending the whole day in his room.
From Bedroom Birthday, another oneshot I wrote for Nozels birthday, in 2022 this time. This is the ending I ended up preferring.
24 ☘️ … that makes me go "huh... I wrote that?"
This whole chapter, practically a Black Clover mixed with Charles Dickens "Little Dorrit"
I need to continue this one day^^'
2 ☘️ … that makes me laugh
Oh, I've already talked about "Surprises In The Night", but there's another one.
“Wait, Noelle knows?” Magna screamed. “But… that’s her brother!”
“I am very aware of the obvious family bonds I share with my sister, thank you very much,” Nozel just said, pinching the bridge of his nose in annoyance. He really would have preferred if another Black Bull would find out. That shy girl Grey, for example.
Vanessa laughed at his statement, while kissing his cheek.
“Gross,” Gauche muttered, for which Vanessa throw a pillow at his face. “Geez, Wino, what was that for?”
“I’m very open, but I don’t accept showing affection for my boyfriend being called gross.”
“I would gladly appreciate if you won’t call my girlfriend Wino, Adlai,” Nozel added, looking sternly at Gauche, who gulped. “Vanessa might not care about it, but I won’t tolerate kindly that you call her like that in front of me. I’m not sure that Grey would like your attitude either, even though she likes you a lot.”
“Wait… how do you… Vanessa!”
“What? Nozel knows how much I care about you all, so he asks me how you’re going and I tell him everything, of course. Nothing to worry about.”
“Everything?” Magna asked in fear.
From Nothing To Worry About, just Magna and Gauche learning about Nozel and Vanessa by catching them making out.

Dorrit Black (1891 - 1951), Australian
Dorrit Black was born in the Adelaide suburb of Burnside, the daughter of engineer and architect Alfred Barham Black and Jessie Howard Clark, an amateur artist and daughter of John Howard Clark, editor of the South Australian Register. She attended the South Australian School of Arts and Crafts in about 1909, working in watercolours, and attended the Julian Ashton Art School in Sydney in 1915, concentrating on working in oils.
In 1927, Black went by herself to London and attended the Grosvenor School of Modern Art, where she experimented with colour linocut printing while studying under Claude Flight. Black was influenced by Flight to use bold geometrical patterns and harmonious colour schemes. In 1928, she studied at André Lhote's Academy in Paris. Black was influenced by Lhote's "compostional principles of geometric order". In 1929, she briefly worked with Albert Gleizes.
Black was strongly influenced by the Modernist and Cubist art movements she was exposed to in London and Paris. By the time she returned to her home country in late 1929, Black had become an active proponent of the Cubist style, and brought the styles back to Australia with her. Black then held an exhibition at Macquarie Galleries in Sydney in 1930. This was one of six one-woman shows which were to feature her work.

Notes on the first couple days back to school:
Felt very old (both complimentary and derogatory) in the first undergrad class, but managed to exchange names with another student.
Poor summer children didn't know the professor, so it was painful to see the light go out of their eyes as they realized what the course is going to be like
One of them had a powered off, open laptop in front of her, the whole lecture. She took no notes, but she didn't close the laptop either. Sir, this is my emotional support laptop.
I may get to write a report on The Industrial Revolution through Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South, so there's that to look forward to (professor suggested Hard Times for that. "or any Dickens". I did not make a smartass comment about Little Dorrit. Believe it or not, I do want to pass this course).
I had forgotten how much I liked looking at people on the bus! Their sense of fashion, the variety of faces and features and hair you get to see. A woman wearing red lipstick and big golden earrings in true 1980s style. A man wearing a camel colored coat and some fine, fine black loafers. And so on and so forth.
Grad seminar had more people around my age, and almost everyone was friendly. And they gave us granola bars! Truly the childhood experience of it all sometimes.
re-hacking the bus system was a lot more fun than I expected it. It's almost like the "you never forget how to bike" thing. Also, missed doing all the roundabout way through Old City and seeing the bay.
At least 2 more starbucks have sprung downtown. We hates it, we hates it, precious, with the force of a thousand suns.

“The debilitated old house in the city, wrapped in its mantle of soot, and leaning heavily on the crutches that had partaken of its decay and worn out with it, never knew a healthy or a cheerful interval, let what would betide. If the sun ever touched it, it was but with a ray, and that was gone in half an hour; if the moonlight ever fell upon it, it was only to put a few patches on its doleful cloak, and make it look more wretched. The stars, to be sure, coldly watched it when the nights and the smoke were clear enough; and all bad weather stood by it with a rare fidelity. You should alike find rain, hail, frost, and thaw lingering in that dismal enclosure when they had vanished from other places; and as to snow, you should see it there for weeks, long after it had changed from yellow to black, slowly weeping away its grimy life. The place had no other adherents. As to street noises, the rumbling of wheels in the lane merely rushed in at the gateway in going past, and rushed out again: making the listening Mistress Affery feel as if she were deaf, and recovered the sense of hearing by instantaneous flashes.”
~ “Little Dorrit" Charles Dickens - 1855

Charity begins at home and justice begins next door. -The Life and Times of Martin Chuzzlewit
One should never be ashamed to cry. Tears are rain on the dust of earth. -Great Expectations
For not an orphan in the wide world can be so deserted as the child who is an outcast from a living parent's love. -Dombey and Son

What greater gift than the love of a cat.
The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again. -The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickelby

Virtue shows quite as well in rags and patches as she does in purple and fine linen. -Speech
He's a gentleman if you please, this villain. - Great Expectations
It is a melancholy truth that even great men have their poor relations. -Bleak House

Home is a name, a word, it is a strong one; stronger than magician ever spoke, or spirit ever answered to, in the strongest conjuration. -Martin Chuzzlewit
Life is made of so many partings welded together. -Great Expectations
The broken heart. You think you will die, but then you just keep living, day after day after terrible day. -Great Expectations
A dream, all a dream, that ends in nothing, and leaves the sleeper where he lay down, but I wish you to know that you inspired it. -A Tale of Two Cities
No varnish can hide the grain of the wood; and that the more varnish you put on, the more the grain will express itself. -Great Expectations
One always begins to forgive a place as soon as it's left behind. -Little Dorrit
I stole her heart away and put ice in its place. -Great Expectations
It opens the lungs, washes the countenance, exercises the eyes, and softens down the temper; so cry away. -Oliver Twist
Some people are nobody’s enemies but their own -Oliver Twist
You cannot stain a black coat. -Nicholas Nickelby
We must have humbug, we all like humbug, we couldn't get on without humbug. - Little Dorrit
