Luxaeterna, a participant in the first true battle of the war between the Rainwings and Icewings, the Battle of Stolen Light. Her venom-fangs were torn out by an Icewing poacher, and after surviving and avoiding capture, replaced them with harder gemstone teeth. She’s well known for the number of Icewing skulls she’s impaled throughout the war. She is Boomslang and Quetzal’s great aunt. Postwar, she has been reunited with her living grandnephew and accompanies him for scale retrieval in the Ice and Sky Kingdoms.
Quetzal in his last moments before being murdered by an Icewing poacher. He had sold Boomslang’s egg to the Icewings in the hopes of gaining immunity from the scale trade- but he learned far too late that a bargain can’t be kept with someone who wants to wear your skin.
katsuki's way of saying 'hi' is by kissing shoto's cheek ♡
Surprise was evident in Shoto's frozen frame, his widened eyes, his color that had begun to match his hair's ( his left side's ). Affection was still a stranger to his heart, and often it seemed to him as if Katsuki had a goal of helping him grow used to it. Such softness hidden in the strongest armor. The best hero there could be. A feeling he couldn't name took over him — as if he had been holding back his breath all along without knowing, as if having forgotten how to let loose, until the moment soft lips met his cheek, unleashing all the tensed energy he had been storing up. Almost instinctively he attempted to return the kiss, only to accidentally meet his lips. It wasn't much different, wasn't it? The message should be the same after all. “ Welcome back. ” If so, why couldn't he hold back his smile? What was the bubbling feeling to have taken over him?

[ txt ] no
His reply comes a little too fast, and he realizes it only after he hits send. Tooru frowns at his phone and drops it on the futon beside his head, sighing. There’s no way he’d admit it. Of course he had fully been expecting Tobio to come to Aoba Johsai, just like Kunimi and Kindaichi. Though he was intimidated by Tobio during their time in middle school, he was also---elated to seem so special to him. Even if the younger setter kept constantly following him around the gym asking for jump serve lessons.
It felt strange not having that after moving onto high school. It was quiet. Sobering.
The text message makes him wonder, not for the first time, what things might have been like if Tobio had gone down that route and became part of Seijoh’s team instead.
And maybe, would they have been able to accomplish what they could not at Kitagawa Daiichi---to defeat Shiratorizawa together ?
[ txt ] silly tobiochan
[ txt ] how else am i supposed to crush you on the court otherwise ? (˘ ڡ˘)
random starter for beloved @luxaeterna cause too many, isn't ever enough
“Takinaaaaaaa!” Chisato entered the room with a hop, offering Takina her brightest smile — one she knew she couldn't resist. “ My heart's all yours, you know that, right? ” Was she about to ask for a favor? Maybe, maybe not. Maybe she just wanted to remind her friend of how much she cherished her. Maybe there was an ulterior motive, a plan already set in motion. Nobody knew the answer, Chisato included.
I liked the new Metallica track, "Lux Æterna," enough to blog about it. 🤘 What do you think? Link here: https://wp.me/pwqzc-2RY ...and in bio. #Metallica #LuxÆterna @metallica #LuxAeterna https://www.instagram.com/p/Clm55Cbtv9d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
@luxaeterna | a ‘ levi chooses to revive erwin’ au we had discussed a LONG time ago. forgive me for tagging you in this shit.
The beast had escaped. The Survey Corps had been nearly annihilated. Armin, a valuable soldier had died. Eren's and Mikasa's cries could be heard from a mile away and there was nothing he could say to ease their pain. Levi wouldn't regret his choice. The decision entrusted to him by this man wouldn't have changed. He couldn't have done otherwise, he couldn't have sacrificed Erwin. In a future they couldn't predict, with too many unknowns to await them, they needed a man with a vision and the determination to break through all barriers. Humanity couldn't march forward without a devil to guide them. Without Erwin at the wheel of this war. Their hope, HIS hope, laid on the shoulders of this man, and not he, nor Hange could have been prepared for what was going to come.
He didn't act on sentiment, like Eren believed. He couldn't have let emotion cloud his judgement. If Levi had given up on being a soldier, if even for a moment he allowed his heart to be shaken by grief, and lead him to a different decision, he would have lost all reason to live. If he did use the syringe selfishly, he would have let him go. He would have let him rest with his dreams, freed from the cruelty of their world. Instead, he chose to bring him back, drag him down to the shitty hole they'd fight for their survival. “ Welcome back, Erwin. ” He watched him as he'd open his eyes, having knelt by his side. Empty eyes searched for the familiar blue, the one he thought he wouldn't see again, not in this life. Exhaustion had taken over. The battle had worn him out. Those kids, screaming right in front of his face to save their childhood friend, the soldiers lost, the decision lying on him. His failure, to give meaning to their sacrifice. Everything had been weighing on him.
Erwin would awake in a different world, and Levi was the cause. “ You were sleeping for far too long. I thought you were dead. ” He was being more sarcastic than any other time, even though the last he felt was making humor. “ You look like a damn lizard, you know that? It's disgusting. ”
he said, staring at the arm to have grown back, extending his own for him to take.
@luxaeterna said: — ☆ [ txt ] sorry i know it's late at night. but just wanted to say that i was thinking about you. miss you a lot (( from tobio ofc ! 💖💖
Almost done. That skincare routine of his that he does religiously every single night. It’s lengthy and tedious, but it’s through sheer willpower that he follows each step to a t, no matter how exhausted he is from a long flight back home.
The setter’s half asleep as he massages expensive moisturizer onto his face. His eyelids keep drooping, and it’s by chance that he notices his phone lighting up in the corner. He blinks tiredly, wondering who could be messaging him at this time of night. He reaches for it to check.
If it was anyone else, Tooru would have saved texting back for morning.
But it’s Tobio, and Tooru is quick to reply.
[ txt ] you should be asleep. you have a game tomorrow morning
He clicks his tongue at the slight smudges on the screen from the lotion on his fingertips. Tooru goes to finish the rest of his face and wipes off his hands before sending another text.
[ txt ] i miss you too
[ txt ] just one more night
He walks back to their bedroom and plops down on Tobio’s side of the bed. He shivers at the cold sheets and curls up, holding his phone close to his face.
[ txt ] i can’t wait to see you tobio
Check out our review of “Lux Æterna”. Two actresses, Béatrice Dalle and Charlotte Gainsbourg, are on a film set telling stories about witches - but that's not all. 'Lux Æterna' is also an essay on cinema, the love of film, and on-set hysterics. #movie #cinema #film #luxaeterna #charlottegainsbourg #gasparnoe #beatricedalle #thriller #moviereview #filmsnobreviews https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgn7S1MO4DZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
I need to get better pictures but wahhhh stop what you're doing and look at my big, beautiful boy Luxaeterna (yes, all one word)
He's a Druid of the Spores with a WIS of 18 and a whopping INT of 8, which makes the fact he has a sage background v funny when it comes time to roll for arcana or history checks (-1 to int, +2 proficiency bonus). His entire aesthetic, and name, is inspired by bioluminescence so I hc that his tattoos, eyes + the tips of his horns glow when he does magic
He also towers above everyone and looks terrifying, even though he's a big, soft boy who just wants to talk to you about/show you how cool and beautiful fungi are
I (and apparently Shadowheart) am enjoying him greatly and I'm actually super excited to play a good run with himmmmmmmmm
Bonus silly pics showing the perspective of how huge Lux is compared to everyone else bc it makes me cry with laughter
