(SLAMS MY OCS DOWN)

I MISSED THEM SO MUCH YOU GUYS

Reynold, the ADHD human that he is, has a very hard time focusing on much of anything and the only way he can be considered "accomplished" in his former line of work (CIA) is because he knew. He knew he had to do the task as fast as possible before he forgot what he was doing.

Now he lives in another world and is basically the trophy husband to the demon lord and Reynold is like "this is amazing I'm adopting the whole entire demon army as our children". And the demon lord is like "you want to adopt my demon army" and Reynold is like "starting with your advisors, yes. those are our daughters now. I love them. I would literally kill for them."

And Sascha, the demon lord determined to NOT ACTUALLY FIGHT PEOPLE, is like please don't kill anyone. And his job is now "take care of the entire demon race and also act as impulse control to one human". Luckily his twin advisors love Reynold too and agree to help keep him in line in the world.

And since idk how much I posted on main and not my OC blog for the advisors, Melo (left) is mute and Lody (right) does the talking. They are able to share what they see with each other because of the pink/yellow eyes acting as like a gateway of sorts. So they're rarely assigned to survey the same area since if they're apart they can see twice as much and report on more in order to aid Sascha. (But at the castle they both like to stick together and trail either Sascha or Reynold)

#my characters #also since sascha is the demon lord he has the ability to turn into a biiiiiiiiiig dragon #its an ability only allowed to the blood line of demon lords and if the demon lord dies with no family #the ability manifests in a random demon and thats how the next lord is chosen #however ! since he found the twins on the verge of death and basically gave them both some of his essence/life #they are not actually related by blood but do carry some of his royalty #and can turn into big lizards and reynold loves this so much because oh my god thats so cute #they - as lizards - could crush his bones and kill him easily but hes like LETS GO TO THE GARDENS #AND SUNBATHE ON SOME ROCKS #and the twins are like .......................... odd priority but lets go #and so sascha will wander outside if he cant find the trio and yeah theyre normally just asleep on rocks #two big lizards and his husband just napping in the sun #after melo and lody are told to their faces by reynold hi you can call me mom if you want #they look confused but then later on lody is like HELLO MOTHER and sascha gets absolute whiplash when his husband beams #and turns to face his adopted children who just called him mother #like this poor demon lord is stunned enough by that but he was warned by reynold that adoption was non negotiable #so he is like understandably odd endearment moving on now #until he hears another of his soldiers talk about have you seen mom recently and is like #this human really is out here adopting the entire army and im really confused but its very cute and endearing

In the Lodi Gardens

The black, pensive, dense domes of the mausoleums suddenly shot birds into the unanimous blue

THE GARDEN OF POETRY,EPISODE 12

Firstly Thankyou! you for your immense love and support towards the last blog it's always so fun! to read your comments and suggestions about the blog. So this adventure of mine took me to the most Poetic Place in Delhi which remains hidden from most admirers. So let's explore this place together! I started my journey toward the posh area of Vasant Kunj with these lines of poetry by Ahmad Faraz it goes Search for pearls of loyalty amongst those who are uprooted Maybe you will find these treasures in the ruins of the taverns". with these lines, I started my journey toward the infamous Poetry Garden. As was moving along the street of the prosperous Vasant Vihar I saw this astonishing Graffiti.

I stood there and gazed at the portrait for a minute thinking about the mysterious vibe of the painting. I somehow stopped myself from staring at the portrait and moved forward. With a left turn from Malai Mandir, I arrived at Priya Garden. As I entered the garden a felt a strange smell. A smell of love, beauty, and the past we all have forgotten. As I glanced around the place I saw these beautiful writings by the famous poet on a rock.

These verses were on stone surrounding a luscious tree whose trunk is so entangled in vines that it looks like a sage's knotted hair. I was lost in a world of happiness after reading these lines. They appeared as if these were some clues to an unknown enigma. As I blinked I saw a signboard providing directions to the other parts of the Park. I followed the path toward the historical garden.

The vibes of the place were so pleasant and awesome that it was hard for me to believe that I was really in Delhi. The green silage and the small wooden yoga areas gave the place a new and different outlook. As I moved forward I cannot comprehend what I was looking at....

The place looked so royal and out of the world. The gumbad was shining white with designs made of blue marble and the rest of the structure was made with identical red stone which was used in Lodi structures back in the time. The entrance had a big lock at the main door when I insisted the security guard unlock the place he only allowed me to enter on the condition that I would not click any pictures. The monument was tremendous from the inside it also had a small mosque attached to it.

(View of the Park from the monument)

As I was leaving the place I saw a place out of the normal. It looked a bit different from the surrounding area. When I went a bit forward I sensed a strange beauty coming from the place.

As I was trying to know about the area I saw a sign which said POETRY GARDEN. I got excited after reading that I was standing in the main Poetry Garden! I continued reading the board it further said that the four stones in the garden contain verses from two of the most renowned Tughlaq era Persian poets namely Amir Khusrau and Hafez, to create harmony and a symphony of songs. Lyrics that are dedicated to the glory of bountiful nature, and sing the praise of spectacular tres. As I read these lines I jumped from my cycle to read the poems.

For the admirers, the poems were written in 3 languages Hindi, English, and Urdu. And trust me each of the poems where so beautiful and unique that it made me wonder how the garden might have looked back then when these poems dedicated to the garden might have been written. The Poetry Garden was situated at the axis, which Inconspicuously connects the Baradari and the mosque. Just like Naubagh which was originally laid by the Mughals.

As I was admiring the place saw this open theatre in the middle of the grassland which resembled the amphitheater found in the gardens of the modern Western world.

The amphitheater perfect was a perfect place to sit and hear yourself contemplating in unison with time. It was named "Gulzar" to keep the cultural ethos of Bagh-e-Bahaar intact, which is filled with references to springtime, trees, flowers, and mellow fruitfulness. In Persian, flowers are called 'Gul', and hence a flower garden is termed as 'Gulshan' or 'Gulistan' 'Gulzar' in that sense, would stand for a place, which is rich with joyful excess.

I also noticed that many trees in the park were of the Amaltas. They lay a carpet of yellow flowers on the ground, when in full bloom, and create the magnificent ethos of springtime. I somehow managed to come back from this magical place and returned home here is a video about the place.

According to my research Bagh-e-Bahaar Situated in Vasant Vihar, in an area spreading over 18 hectares, this garden was laid out by Firuz Shah Tughlaq (1309-1388), in a 12-hectare area of the same lie remains of the garden originally laid. Most constructive of all Sultans. Firuz Shah is known for establishing cities and citadels like Firozabad, Kotla, and Hisar Firoza, as well as digging grand canals like Ulugh Khani and Razali. His biographer Afif notes in Tarikh-i-Firuzshahi that, Sultan had laid out or resurrected some 1500 gardens in Delhi and its close vicinity. Firuz had a liking for fruit gardens or orchards, and his gardens would also cultivate grapes among other fruits. This is the last surviving garden of those 1500 baghs that the Sultan had laid. Persian literature celebrates gardens earthly as representation of Paradise. The very first Mughal Garden of India, laid by Babur in Agra, is called Hasht-Bahisht and the word Bahisht itself stands for the Paradise.This was much before the Taj Mahal or the Humayun's Tomb which now stand splendid as examples of Tomb Gardens. The design schemecreates a Charbagh for the Tomb and the Baradari. A small water feature, reminiscent of water channels, is neatly tucked in the geometry. The axes of the Charbagh are complemented entirely by the entrances towards the Poorvi Marg and Basant Lok Complex. So with that, I end this blog of my marvelous adventure to the infamous Poetry Garden.

Until next time with love

What kind of snacks do you think Poland or Liet like for summer?

Feliks likes a lot of stuff but in particular

Ciepłe Lody

Both would enjoy because it's a classic Chłodnik litewski (Translates to Lithuanian cold soup) or in Lithuanian Šaltibarščiai it usually consists of yogurt or kefir beets and some other stuff then you there's slight differences With Chłodnik compared to Šaltibarščiai but they basically are kinda the same... ( Don't get mad at me for saying that)

But it's pink!

And of course strawberries and other fruits in season

Kompot is one of my favorites and i think they of course would like it too as it's fun to use what's in season

Then of course there's mizeria which you can use all those cucumbers from the garden

It's interesting in writing all this that Michigan and Poland have such similar growing seasons and similar produce used in the summer sorry for that spiel i work in produce lmao

location ›› wandering through the lodi gardens.

the atmosphere within the palace walls drove alistair to leave it as quickly as was possible. not that this needed much encouragement. despite his position, he was a man of the fields, of the unkempt meadows. he found himself studious of these gardens in a way he hadn't let himself be in quite some time. although eleanor was within calling distance, she too was preoccupied — and her words of letting him stay at the party, that apt dismissal, still buzz hot and unbidden through his veins. how her hand reached for him, how she was determined to be near him. her brother's words. ( at least none of this, he himself had spilt to other ears. ) and he was not frowning either — for once. amusing himself with the closed-up blooms of a rose not yet prepared to blossom. germany's gardens also had roses, but a flower was not the same across its countries. its petals reflected its soil, growth, richness, and minerals. with his gloves on, he thought he could touch it without ruining it — but straightened upon hearing someone's approach. immediate as he snapped back into his place as guard. "your grace." he addressed all those of any title above his own with that. ( and so, no one picked up on how he whispered it to — ) "you too have opted to gain some fresh air after the celebrations?"

choose your muse!!

setting -> the stables, preparing for a ride

" apparently, the best trail is to go southbound, towards the lodi gardens. or so they tell you at the elephant gate - personally, i think southwest is much more fun. i spotted it from the carriage on the way in. it's a bit of a roundabout way, but cuts through the orchards, and there is about half a dozen trees to leap over 'long the way. we could make a race out of it? " blue eyes flashed over the back of his steed to the other, accompanied with a challenging smile. when wasn't there competition to be had with a hatzfeld? reuben hadn't been half the rider he was today, not before he met joanna. " i could really use a break from all the nonsense happening up in there. " a vague nod towards the lal qila palace to indicate what he meant, and ruby's smile turned into a smirk. every chance he got to escape politics, he took. " the interview was sort of fun, though. "

During this playthrough of Reborn, I learnt that the dialogue you can miss out on between Andoras and Canopus in regard to his loyalty to Lodis and the comparison with Gilbald in Tzorious Fields carries over to the encounter in the Hanging Gardens. So if you didn’t have it then you will be able to hear/read it there... I can’t think of this being the case for any other boss in the game!

It doesn’t apply to the dialogue between Ozma and Andoras though. They have a set specific exchange in Tzorious Fields which you won’t get in Twixt Heaven And Earth (you’ll only get the one they usually have in this map).

Golden Triangle Tour: The Golden Triangle of India is a tourist circuit in India.

The tourism footprint in India is growing, and it's no surprise that the densest concentrations of these footprints are in Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. If you calculated the shortest distance between these three points, you'd get an imaginary triangle in the middle of the country. As a result, it's known as the Golden Triangle. Are you visiting India for the first time? Most tour operators, including Travelogy India, recommend the Golden Triangle for an India 101 experience. The following are the top recommended Golden Triangle Tour packages

Golden triangle tour 3 Days Golden triangle tour 4 Days Golden triangle tour 6 Days

What is Golden Triangle Tour?

It is one among modern India's well-trodden and well-explored paths. The schedule for the Golden Triangle includes trips in Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. The journey includes famous Indian architectural wonders, Rajasthan sites, and natural wonders. Begin your tour by exploring Delhi. Visit the Jama Masjid, Red Fort, Humayun Tomb, Lodi Garden, and other Mughal-era structures built of red sandstone and marble. Later, go to Agra to witness the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Fatehpur Sikri, and other sights. Later, go to the Rajasthan desert region to visit the imperial city of Jaipur, which features palaces, forts, the Jantar Mantar, markets, and much more.

What to do in the Golden Triangle?

So, what's so great about three random locations that form an imagined triangle? On the map, it is simple to select four locations and form a square. Would that make the square more interesting? Not always. Furthermore, the Golden Triangle is not just three random sites that are famous for the form their locations make on a map. What's inside those destinations is what makes the Golden Triangle spectacular.

Delhi - Infusing exquisiteness into Islamic life

Walk through the streets of Old Delhi to enter a virtual time machine and travel back several centuries. The old havelis, market squares, and cobblestone alleys live up to the title "Old." What else can Delhi offer you besides some ancient monuments? Because Delhi is the country's capital, it is connected to nearly all of the country's locations. Within Delhi, you may experience the culture of the entire country, whether it's through performance arts, cuisine, festivals, or shopping.

Agra - The Mughal, Marble, and Marvel Capital

The Taj Mahal, a polished marble mausoleum known for its carvings, structural beauty, and use of semi-precious stones in construction, is the crown gem of all Indian architecture. Once you've finished photographing the Taj Mahal and have filled your memory disc, it's time to move on to other elite Mughal landmarks such as Agra Fort, Baby Taj, Akbar's Tomb, and many more. Fatehpur Sikhri, the abandoned capital city of the Mughal Empire, is another reminder of the Mughal Empire.

Jaipur is a fortified city with hidden temples.

This is a fortified city. Starting at City Palace, you can go on a history walking tour of palaces and forts. The craggy terrain of Aravalli hills with a hint of desert view provides this place a majestic appearance. Immerse yourself in Jaipur's attractions such as Amber Fort, Nahargarh Fort, Shri Jagatshironmani Temple, City Palace, Jantar Mantar, Hawa Mahal, and many more.
