The Pleasant Twins Household
Spring, Year 1
Tumblr media
Sequestered in the bakery's bathroom, Angela stares into the mirror, her dreams clashing with the reality reflected back at her. The sweet scent of pastries can't mask the sting of ambition unfulfilled. She ponders life beyond these walls, her grandmother's legacy, and her desires pulling her in opposing directions. Yet, in this moment of solitude, a decision crystallizes: she's ready to rise beyond the bakery, even if it means putting it in the past. As she reaches an accord with Lilith to sell, Angela's heart beats to the rhythm of a new, uncertain future.

CHAPTER 3: GETTING TO KNOW YOU
The next day was filled with exploring the house. Martha had informed you that Victoria had friends to visit in the village and Ralph was having a bit of a lie-in that morning. She also told you quietly that his lordship usually doesn’t rise for breakfast if he has a head on. You had seem him imbibe quite a snootful last night. Lord knows how much more he had drunk after you left his company. Maybe he was drinking to drown out his sister’s voice. Thinking of her, you couldn’t half blame him.
After a quiet breakfast alone, you made your way out of the house and into the grounds. The fresh morning air was filled with the odd call of a peacock, but you could see no such bird about. They had to be somewhere else on the property, so you circled the mansion and moved into the gardens. Gravel pathways led to the side of the building between neat rows of well-manicured patches of grass and empty flowerbeds, it being too late in the season for any sort of delicate petal. Oversized stone bird feeders were empty and the fountain on this side of the building was off for the season, but you could imagine a sunny spring day, rows of colorful flowers all around with bees buzzing or, better still, a warm summer evening, starlight and the soft fall of water into the fountain reservoir providing a very romantic backdrop. It made you long for your days before the war, back when you were deliriously happy and a lot less lonely.
The manse had huge windows all around, some with glass stained in light blues and yellows and as you moved around to the rear of the house, its main feature was revealed: two gigantic loggia running almost the span of the building with a large stone porch that extended out from the ground floor of the house about twenty yards from the lower loggia with steps that led to a sprawling lawn at the back and garden paths on either side. You climbed the stairs at the side and looked out over the property. With all this space, no wonder the twins felt the need to fill it with people; this was a lot of house for just two.
The estate was enormous. One of the groundskeepers you met on your journey mentioned that all the acreage you could see from the rear of the house was all the Penbury land. They were nestled in a valley surrounded by small rolling green hills with their own wood on the east and south of the property.
Their father had been a hunter; a fact made obvious by the various antlers and deer heads on display in the billiard room, some 6-point, some 8-point, and one gigantic 12-point above the large fireplace.
As you wandered, the staff greeted you here and there as they went about their daily chores. Everyone was pleasant, but busy. You hated to disturb them, to ask awkward questions. You knew you shouldn’t, but you wanted more information about your hosts. Martha proved an invaluable asset in that regard.
“Anything wrong, miss?” she asked you as she came into your room delivering the last two dresses to your wardrobe that had just arrived by courier.
“Don’t take this the wrong way, but… the Penburys? All this wealth? How far back does it go? How do they afford all of this?”
Martha arched an eyebrow and didn’t answer, choosing instead to straighten your perfectly straight delicates in their drawer.
“I know it’s rude,” you added quickly, imagining both of your parents staring you down, disappointed in your line of questioning. “But I have no one else to ask. It’s obvious I’m not exactly in their… stratosphere.”
Martha smiled gently. “Transport, miss” she answered, “Railroads, mostly. But also ships and airplanes.”
“Goodness,” you said. No wonder everything was so opulent. There’s nothing so necessary as moving things about: people, things, it didn’t matter. Every country and business and person needed to get from one place to another. It was already set up by the great-grandfather, according to Martha. The wealth that had stemmed from the government contracts during the Great War alone had been enough to pay for several lifetimes for the twins.
Suddenly, their behavior was put into perspective. The money, like the landed title, had always been there. They had never performed an honest day’s work in their lives - which you expected - but their parents probably hadn’t either and didn’t prepare their children to either.
“Where are their parents?” you asked Martha as you watched her fiddle with your things, straightening your bedsheets. Your fingers itched to help her. Would she be insulted if you did? You consoled yourself by stoking the fire a bit.
“Their father died overseas two years back,” she said. “Their mother had passed on before that. Cancer took her about six years ago.” Wistfully, she added: “Lord Penbury favors her. He has her eyes.”
You snapped your fingers. “Ah yes, the woman in the portrait above the fireplace in the drawing room.”
Martha nodded. “Yes, miss.”
“Dearly missed, I’m sure,” you murmured quietly. Heaven knows how Ralph’s life changed without his mother. Unless she acted like Victoria as well. That would have been a shame. For her part, Martha didn’t say whether the late Lady Penbury of the house was missed either way.
You let your memory of the woman in the portrait stare down at you in your mind before another question hit you: “Who is coming tonight?”
Martha shrugged. “I expect that would be all Lady Victoria’s friends.”
“Not Lord Penbury’s?” Martha paused. “Martha?”
“He- uh,” Martha looked a tad nervous. “I really shouldn’t be gossiping-“
“Of course, Martha,” you said, a flush of guilt running through you. You came to her wringing your hands with worry. “I shouldn’t even have started asking you. I’m sorry. I won’t let anyone know. You’ve been most kind. Thank you. If there’s anything else you need to tend to, don’t let me keep you.”
Martha smiled and made her little curtsey-bow, leaving you to your thoughts.
Could Lord Ralph Penbury really not have any friends? That didn’t seem right. You knew he wasn’t the most clever person nor did he seem to have a lot of self-restraint, but he was kind. Even if they started off as friends of Victoria’s, surely some people would also become friends of Ralph. How could they resist such a lovely soul? He was a tad hyperactive, of course. Perhaps a bit socially awkward as well, but surely that wasn’t a social death sentence, was it?
But then, you didn’t travel in these social circles. The friends you had were mainly raised in your social class. You would meet at the church social gatherings, the WI meetings, school friends and work friends all making your life that much brighter. You were lucky that you had been born to good, clean-living parents who didn’t dote on you but still encouraged you and supported you in these modern times where there was no shame in a girl working in a shop to make a living for herself instead of rushing off to get married to the first eligible bloke that asked.
You took a good look at yourself in the massive vanity mirror. You weren’t too old to marry again quite yet, but you were getting there. The third finger of your left hand used to have a simple band on it and had shown a tan line during that first blessed summer. It was gone now. Just like Charlie.
It had been a slow burning romance over the course of two years. Your father and mother worked for the Hollingsworth family and Charlie was the son of the local butcher in town. He had charmed you off your sixteen-year-old feet and soon things had become too close between you to not at least have plans to get married. Once you had turned eighteen, your father had given you away with a tear in his eye. Your mother had arranged the flowers in your bouquet. You had been married only a few months but it was filled with the most laughter, excitement, romance, and joy you had ever experienced — and the most lascivious intercourse.
You shook your head as you realized you probably knew more than Ralph did when it came to physical pleasure. You would likely make his head spin if you ever kissed him. You could only imagine how pink his ears would get at the suggestion of you naked.
Giggling, you left your rooms to go and find him. He should be up and about by now. Plus, you knew that his voice and demeanor would ground you and stop these errant fantasies. All you would have to do is look at him to get your feet on the ground again. He could never be yours; he was too far above you socially. The best you could do was be his friend and wait to speak to the manager at Selfridges who would hopefully attend the party that evening. After that, both he and his sister could come to their senses and dump you back at your flat in no time, shine worn off the proverbial apple, and you would have gained the small advantage you had come to obtain.
And what a sad day that would be.
Ralph was easy to find, all you had to do was follow Victoria’s voice. At the bottom of the main staircase, you made your way into an anteroom with a rather large chandelier. Beyond that, the ballroom extended far along the building, floor-to-ceiling windows on two sides, french doors letting guests out to the side and the rear of the building where the loggia was and the generous porch beyond. Victoria stood in one of the french doors correcting Ralph who was trying to direct the workers to arrange tables and chairs.
“You’re not leaving enough room for dancing,” complained Ralph.
“There’s the dance floor there! And besides, people can dance around the tables,” Victoria argued. “Really Ralph, there is plenty of room! We don’t need room enough for the Tiller girls to come kicking through! Lord, will you please stop being a bother and go do something else?”
“Then I shall see about the musicians,” he stated.
“I have already handled that. I told you this morning when I woke you,” she said. “Really, you have no memory at all!”
“You know I can’t concentrate on things when I have a headache! Really, Victoria, it’s my party too, you know. I would like something to do!”
“Go and make sure there are plenty of linens then,” she said to him before turning to the workmen and saying: “Three more tables with chairs all around there, I think. Yes. Just there. Don’t scuff the chairs!”
“Victoria, I’m not counting napkins and table cloths. I-“
It was then Ralph caught sight of you. You wore the white day dress with the red trim Victoria had gushed over. It was quite flattering on you and Ralph seemed to appreciate it too considering his stare. It took him a moment, but he recovered and beamed at you.
“Oh hello there and good morning!” he said with a wave. You came to him, watching Victoria nitpick about the condition of the hired chairs for the event.
“Good morning, Lord Penbury,” you said, with a curtsey.
He laughed and waved a hand at you. “I told you: please call me Ralph.”
You nodded toward his sister. “Is she always like this?” you asked.
“Only when it’s a party,” said Ralph. “So yes. All the time.”
You had to laugh. It was as though he had rallied from the evening before. He had a bit of fire in him today. He was biting back. You felt a bit proud of him.
“May I help in any way?” you offered. “I feel a bit of a third wheel.”
“Nonsense! And no, I’m afraid. She barely wants my help. And a Penbury wouldn’t dream of asking a guest to assist with preparations. It’s unheard of. No. I think we’d better remove ourselves.”
Victoria’s voice reached another octave. “Yes,” you agreed, “before she reaches full steam and blows her boiler!”
The two of you escaped to the lawn at the rear of the property, Ralph offering you a gentlemanly arm. The weather was warming up well for early autumn and you hoped the sun would peep from the cloud cover. The house was a darker hue than the clouds and would have made a fine snapshot if you had a camera. “Quite a remarkable home,” you said, more to yourself than anyone else. You weren’t sure if you were talking about the structure or the people who dwelled in it.
“It’s been in the family for ages now,” said Ralph. “Grandfather built it for grandmother after a trip to Italy. Explains the architecture. We would spend summers here where our parents would entertain during the season.”
“And then back to London for the rest of the time?” you asked. Ralph nodded. He hadn’t been looking at the house but in the opposite direction, regarding the rolling hills that led to the top of the valley. He seemed lost in thought for a moment and you watched his face, not wanting to disturb him. How did you not notice how lovely his eyelashes were?
You couldn’t allow yourself such thoughts. You were here for a new job. That’s all. Just stay in their good graces without forgetting your social position, and everything would be sunshine and daffodils. You broke the silence. “Your friend from Selfridges. He will be here tonight? You’re certain?”
Ralph blinked. “Oh yes. He’ll be here. He never misses a snowball party.”
“Snowball party?” you asked. Ralph laughed and smiled.
“Um, yes,” he said. “Victoria has a penchant for them.” He cleared his throat and went on: “He’ll be delighted to meet you. You’ve got moxie. That’s what I told Victoria. I like your moxie.”
Compliments always caused you to blush, but somehow when they came from Ralph, they turned you absolutely crimson. “Thank you, Lord- er, I mean Ralph. Thanks ever so much.”
It was his turn to blush just then. It was the beginning of a very pleasant afternoon with Ralph, strolling the property, discussing the flowers that were planned for the following spring and the stories of parties past. He had a cunning sense of humor and his laugh was loud and free. He livened your soul. After so many years on your own, thinking that you were never going to find another nice man to be with… but no. Not Lord Ralph Penbury, heir to millions. You were only a clerk, a working girl, not of his circle. You couldn’t hope to be his. Not that you wouldn’t still dream about it.
And when you regarded him, you saw plenty to dream about. He was physically fit for one, standing five-foot-ten at your best guess. His hands were big and broad with thick fingers and well-groomed nails. They seemed strong, but you knew there wouldn’t be a single callus on them. He had a lovely smile, even though he tried to hide it sometimes when he thought he was being cheeky, his dimples coming out to play, his face lighting up the sky. And his eyes… like pieces of hot cocoa, brown and warm, soothing and kind, but could become like dark storm clouds when he was angered - like you saw yesterday in Elvira’s shop. Was that only yesterday? That meeting seemed a million years ago now.
Two hours before the party was set to start, Victoria announced that the two of you should rest up and then get dressed. Despite his earlier disagreement with Victoria about musicians and linens, Ralph happily clapped his hands, laughing and giggling, the joy spreading to your face.
“Ralph! Enough!” Immediately, Ralph stifled his joyful outburst. “God, I have a headache. I’m going to lie down,” she said, “I’ve got to do everything around here.” She turned on her heel and made her way back into the manse, disappearing between the sheer curtained doors and into the cool of the ballroom leaving you to watch Ralph as his joy slowly crept back into his face. You smiled shyly at him, encouraging his happy spirit.
Ultimately, you did as you were bid. Laying once again in that humongous bed, shoes off, day dress hung up to prevent wrinkling. You snuck under the bed covers to ward off the chill of the room and stared at the canopy above.
Charlie would have loved this bed. You imagined him hovering above you, as you often did when his memory would come creeping up on you. He had been taller than Ralph and his hair had been darker, his soul more somber. He had been so different from Ralph in so many ways, but not unlikable. He had been charming in his way and you had loved him with your whole heart.
You and he had been only ten months behind one another in age, you being the elder of the two of you. Charlie knew that once he was old enough, he wanted to join up. No one could say that your Charlie didn’t have the courage of his convictions. A butcher’s son, he wanted to move up in society and military service might do just that. Distinguished military service would definitely do it. At least, that had been his hope. A German bullet had had other ideas. You were left a widow after only being a married woman for a few months.
You had mourned Charlie for the full year you were supposed to according to society’s rules, but after that first year was up, the habit of mourning him had been set firm in your heart. Your parents encouraged you to seek other partners, men of good standing that presented themselves at the little parties your family and friends threw, but none of them reached you. None were so blindingly beautiful as Charlie had been.
And none could have given you the education in the bedroom that Charlie had. Many an evening was spent above the garage at the Hollingsworth house with his arms around you and soft words whispered into your ear. Charlie would finish up his work at the shop and cycle out to the house to meet with you under the trees in the garden. From there, you two would sneak off upstairs above the Deusenbergs and Rolls Royces in a tiny storage space that Charlie had set up as a trysting place.
A small lumpy mattress was your classroom, Charlie your professor. He not only taught you his body and how to pull the most lascivious sounds from him, but your own body as well. A body for which you had always held a certain detached familiarity. You had never truly explored yourself before Charlie came along. After he had woken up your senses for the first time one late spring night, you had thought of little else. Your own hands had learned your body by heart within weeks, but Charlie could always reach the deeper spaces that left you dizzy for days.
Charlie smiled down at you in your mind and he dipped down and kissed you deeply. You recalled his talent at it, the taste of him, the feel. Fading away, his face was replaced with Ralph, but it was a different feel with him. You had to lean up to him, for one. You imagined his lips were soft and plush. The taste of him was up for speculation. Would he taste of mint or sen-sen? Would he dart his tongue in tentatively or, once given permission, would he dive right in? Or would he know he could use his tongue at all? And where would his hands be? A gentleman’s position on your hips? Or all along your back? Or one in your hair and one on your ass?
You giggled. It was too much to imagine that Ralph would be anything but a bundle of nerves. He might think you a brazen hussy. And maybe you were. Charlie wouldn’t have cared. You could hear him laughing, cheering you on. You curled yourself into your pillow and let sleep take you, knowing Martha would be in to wake you and get you ready for the party in a few hours.

So one of many parts of me explaining my sims HC's of how the sims universe is
Part One The Timeline
So Sims 3 is messy in the timeline because different worlds take place at different times so that will be noted when needed
The Sims 4 is similar in difficulty but also different because" it's an AU" so the Sims 4 is taken lightly on the timeline with parts that will be built upon later in explanation posts
the baseline of years are also based of the constant characters of the goths and the fact that sims 2 came out in 2004
-Sims 3 Twinbrook- between 1900-1910(The Curious brothers grandfather was a toddler)
-The Sims 3-Late 1950s-Early 60s
-Sims 3 Monte Vista, Roaring Heights -Late 60s-early 70s(The Montys and Capps are still young and growing a there families)
-Sims 3 Midnight Hollow, Lucky Palms, Moonlight falls-Mid 70s-early 80s(The Summerdreams are young adults, The Dreamers are young adults, Nervous Subject is a toddler)
-Sims 3 Aurora Skies -Some time during the early 80s (The Beaker siblings are alive and Loki is a child)
-The Sims 1- the late 80s-early 90s(The goths are adults and Cassy is a young child with out her brother Alex)
-Sims 3 Sunlit Tide-between 1986-1988( I know this is really specific but if the pleasant twins are between 14-16 in 2004 they had to be born between 1988-1990 and Mary-Sue and Daniel are on their honeymoon in Sunlit Tide. This also takes into account the theory that if The Sims 1 had a teen life stage Daniel would have been a teenager.)
-The sims 4 Horse Ranch and Cottage Living-Mid 90s-Late 90s (I put these two together earlier than The Sims 4 because Mortimer's aunt Agnus and her "Dead Husband" are elders)
-Sims 3 Dragon Valley-Mid 90s(John and Jennifer Burb are unmarried and Lucy isn't born yet)
-The Sims 2- 2004-05 (This is the baseline year with Bella being abducted in the Summer of 04 and then I am guessing the events of The Sims 2 take place between Summer 04 and then Summer 05 given the handful of pregnancies we know of and the fact that Seasons start in the winter with the exception of the Greenman who start the next spring)
-The Sims 4- the 2010s-Present ( Look at the game and tell me you don't think it takes place in the 2010s it might just be the fault of the game being stuck in 2014 in style)
-Sims 3 Lunar Lake- 2020s ( I just feel like its the vibe of Lunar Lakes plus if Mathilde Goth is the third goth child that would have had to be born after Belles abduction in the 2000s she would be a young adult now pretty much )
-Sims 3 into the future-"New World Hundreds of Years into the Future" (this is a direct quote from the back of the Disc)
Parts I want to but somewhere else on the timeline but I am not sure where I would
The Sims 4: My Wedding Stories- In My Wedding Stories Arnessa Thebe talks about how she misses her Aunt Queen and Uncle Eetion. And how her and her dad{Queen's Brother} would visit them time to time when she was a kid. So this just creates a wired gap I have yet to figure out yet.
Princess Cordelia Thebe- So still being on my Thebes issue. In the sims 4 in text it suggest that Princess Cordelia lived at least 100 or so before the events of the sims 4. But Arnessa is referred to as her Descendant which to me suggests more than 5 generations But I think that maybe Arnessa is like her great-great granddaughter. because in 100 year you don't really get decedents you get great-great grandkids. Maybe Cordelia never got to meet if she was older and had a kid or two.
If you read this whole thing WOW. If your wondering what I am on to come up with this much of a sims everything timeline my answer is hyperfixation and Cherry Slush Alani. I think its wild this is just my like baseline timeline to without any like actual headcanons besides estimated ages.

My Review of [Oshi no Ko]
Tumblr media
Oof. The spring anime season of 2023 was kinda lax with the sequels and reboots. This was welcoming news for me as I was happy to take on any and every new anime that dropped. And I was ready to give the top prize to Skip and Loafer or even My Love Story with Yamada-kun. But then, this anime smashed in like Jack Nicholson in The Shining. This anime was already seen as the most, highly-anticipated anime to enter this season. Of course, the creator also made Kaguya-sama. It’s going to be awesome! And that’s stiff competition as Demon Slayer and Dr. Stone both returned with positive feedback. On the day of its official release, the first episode alone was seen as #1 on all of MAL. Gee, how long did it take for the FMA fan-idiots to nuke the score of this series? About four weeks. Guys, get another hobby.
Tumblr media
Besides becoming the #1 anime on MAL with just one episode out, Hidive received the highest amount of traffic to their website for the first time ever. The music video released by YOASOBI for Oshi no Ko trended for a full week and as of May 17, 2023, the video reached 100 million views. Add to that, YOASOBI’s single has been dominating on the global Billboard charts. Manga sales have exploded. This anime is definitely one to behold. Let’s hope that nothing happens to the anime to make it falter.
Before I talk about the synopsis, I should really go a little further when it comes to the first episode. We all know, the average anime episode is roughly 21-25 minutes as it varies. This of course doesn’t include the length and time of recaps, openings, ending themes, or previews. But then, you get several episodes that are 40-50 minutes. I call that the, “Aniplex wants your attention episode”. Yeah, it’s because most of those I see are in Aniplex animes. Especially the Monogatari series. But in most cases, these are just the first or last episode. I just learned to accept it and enjoy the extra-long episode of SAO or Demon Slayer. Plus, it’s just their way to fill in as much content for the season. Oshi no Ko’s first episode clocked in at a whopping 82 minutes. This first episode alone could have been a feature-length movie. Japan actually did put the first episode on the big screen weeks before the television premier. This seems to be a missed opportunity for Sentai Filmworks.
Tumblr media
A REQUEST: I do have a request for those blindly stumbling upon this review. If you are reading this part and have not watched at least episode 1, I kindly ask that you close this page and go watch Oshi no Ko’s first episode. Do not even read the synopsis to the episode. It is best that you go in blind. If you have already done so, please disregard this message and let’s get at it!
Tumblr media
Ai Hoshino is an idol in a group called B Komachi. She is loved all around Japan. One particular fan (Sarina) loves her dearly. It’s the one thing in her life that gives her joy as she is currently battling a rare form of brain cancer. She dies. She was only 12. A doctor (Gorou Amemiya) who befriended her kinda got into Ai shortly after Sarina’s death. And now he’s hooked. One day, Gorou gets the surprise of his life as one of his incoming patients is 20 weeks pregnant with twins. And surprise, it’s famous idol Ai Hoshino.
Oof. I’m sorry, seeing them talk to a 16-year-old girl who is pregnant is not a pleasant topic I like to talk about nowadays. You all know the country I hail from and how angry I get talking about real world topics.
Tumblr media
Gorou took care of Ai for the next twenty weeks to ensure a safe and healthy delivery. The night Ai went into labor, Gorou was murdered by a man who asked him about the whereabouts of Ai. In his final moments, Gorou recalled a conversation he had with Sarina about what it would be like to be the children of a famous idol.
Tumblr media
With that, Gorou died and is reincarnated as one of Ai’s twins (named Aqua). The other twin (named Ruby) was Sarina reincarnated. We watch Aqua and Ruby grow as Ai’s children. But their identies were shielded from the public due to fear of Ai’s career being ruined forever. Still though, when Ai is with her children, it’s some of the happiest moments of Ai’s life considering her life prior to idol fame was dreadful. As for the kids, Aqua got into acting and Ruby got into dancing. And even though it took several years, Ai’s popularity began to grow past just being a teen idol and was ready to perform at a super dome. This happiness was shattered.
Tumblr media
The stalker that killed Ai’s doctor stabs Ai in her residence and with Aqua as a witness. In Ai’s final words, she was able to give out a sincere “I love you” to her children. Ai is dead. The stalker killed himself. The children’s biological father could be the source of all that has just occurred. Aqua is ready for revenge.
Tumblr media
Now, at age 16 is when the real story begins for Aqua and Ruby. Ruby has ambitions of becoming an idol like her mother, but Aqua wants her to steer-clear away from that business because of what happened to their mother. That doesn’t stop Ruby’s ambitions as she ends up restarting her mother’s old idol group B Komachi. As for Aqua, he gets several television appearances. He has no interest in that stuff, but this is the only way to get answers about Ai and their possible biological father as he might be the key or the reason behind Ai’s demise.
BETWEEN THE SUB AND THE DUB: Oh good! Rie Takahashi is in the main cast. Oh…she plays Ai. That’s just sad. So, is Ai still technically a main character even though she gets killed by episode 1? Just curious! As for the sub, Sentai has a dub out. My premature thoughts went straight to Monica Rial. I’m sniffing around to see if she’s even in this. I can sense Rial up in here.
several research voice actor moments later
Okay, Monica Rial isn’t part of the main cast…but her sister is. I was close and thought that either one or both Rial sisters were going to be there. I thought these people did a good job considering the major hype to the anime. I know I usually never give glowing recommendations for any dub done by Sentai. This, they did fine with. This is my first time hearing most (if not all) the main cast.
JAPANESE CAST: *Aqua is played by Takeo Ootsuka (known for Tem on Beastars)
*Ruby is played by Yurie Igoma
*Ai is played by Rie Takahashi (known for Emilia on Re:Zero, Tomo on Tomo-chan is a Girl, Megumin on Konosuba, Ena on Laid-Back Camp, Sumi on Rent-A-Girlfriend, and Mash on Fate/Grand Order)
ENGLISH CAST: *Aqua is played by Jack Stansbury (known for Mendou on Urusei Yatsura 2022)
*Ruby is played by Alyssa Marek
*Ai is played by Donna Bella Litton (known for Ran on Urusei Yatsura 2022)
SHIPPING: This…can get really ewwie really fast.
Tumblr media
Gorou’s obsession with Ai was borderline Lolita fetish. A grown-ass man obsessing over a 16-year-old idol can get really creepy really fast. I do give him props as he remained completely professional as Ai’s OB-GYN. Now, what happens when Gorou dies and is reborn as Aqua? Oh, he loves Ai! It’s just that Aqua was careful as humanly possible. That’s my tip-toeing around the scene where Aqua turns down being breast fed by Ai. Ruby doesn’t mind drinking from Ai’s teat.
Tumblr media
16-year-old Aqua kept getting asked by his castmates for the reality show he was in what his ideal woman was. He tip-toes around it, but we all know he’s describing Ai. His mother! A woman who died over 10 years ago. And again, HIS MOTHER! Though, nobody else knows that fact so he just tip-toes around it by being as discreet as humanly possible. Because of Aqua’s looks, he’s a prime target for thirsty girls at his school. But thanks to the reality show he was in; he ends up in a fake relationship with Akane. Totally doesn’t help that Akane starts acting like Ai! Because those two “hooked up” during the reality show, they must keep up appearances with their relationship in the public eye.
Tumblr media
We could end that shit topic here if not for little miss Kana being little miss tsundere whenever Aqua is around. Oh boy, Kana is a true tsundere here.
SADDEST MOMENT: That first episode killed it in more ways than one. There’s no doubt that every main character here has had their hardships in the past. Ai had parents that abandoned her and she winds up in an orphanage. When Ruby was Sarina, she was suffering from that rare brain cancer where it was a struggle just to walk. And as for Aqua, they never did find his original body. But I was not prepared for what happened when Ai answered that door in episode 1.
I was thinking that stalker guy was the father of Aqua and Ruby and we’re going to have this whole thing throughout the series. Instead, when I watched this guy try to kill Ai, I immediately got flashbacks of Selena. Oh yeah, who could forget that death?
Tumblr media
Yes, everything about Ai’s final words killed me. The animation, the delivery, everything! And Rie Takahashi knocked it out of the park!
Tumblr media
DO THESE STORIES LOOK FAMILIAR TO YOU?: So, I might be going out on several limbs here but hear me out. Watching Oshi no Ko, do you draw any kind of correlation to any character’s backstory and seen it with an actor who might have gone through this same sort of thing? This story delves into the dark side of the entertainment industry and mostly in Japan. But being American, I can’t help but draw connections to the sad stories I would see in the entertainment industry in the U.S.
When I watched a crazed fan attack Ai, I will always immediately think of what happened to Selena. Seeing Kana try to stay relevant due to being a child actor, I think of a lot of child stars that went on after the height of their careers and while there are some success stories, there’s…well, it didn’t end well for actors like Bobby Driscoll and Dana Plato. Look both of those up, it’s quite tragic. I know these are American actors and most of the story is revolved around what happens in the Japanese entertainment industry. I’m just using these an example because I learned about these tragedies and lived through some of them (especially Selena’s death). Despite all of those stories being decades old, a lot of dark things still take place in this day and age. And with the addition of social media, being an entertainer has become worse.
Tumblr media
The Akane storyline…ouch. First of all, social media comments are toxic. I will admit, I used to “Egosurf” a lot in my 20s when I was somewhat relevant on certain sites. It did not do well for my mental health. But I’m not like Akane. I’m not an entertainer. I’m a dork that likes to write reviews for animes and proud of it. If someone on Tumblr tells me I suck, I just ignore it. I probably won’t even see it knowing me. Tee-hee! Back to the matter at hand though. Akane wasn’t really seen as anything special in the reality show she was in with Aqua. She didn’t stick out as much as her other co-stars. Despite it being kinda like a reality show, these kids are still acting or doing what their supervisors say. Akane decides to do something impulsive and it backfired. BADLY!
Tumblr media
This resulted in people on social media exploding with hatred for Akane with the most disgusting of messages telling her she’ll never act again or just blunt ones that say “Just die”. Despite the episode clearly stating this is a “work of fiction”, you know they got inspired by the real-life tragedy of Hana Kimura. Kimura was a female professional wrestler for the most part. In 2019, she was in a reality show called Terrace House. During an episode, Kimura got in a verbal argument with one of the castmates. From what I’ve read, they asked her to stir the pot a bit and fight with the other castmate. After this episode aired, fans took to social media and posted a lot of hate-filled messages towards Kimura. This sent her in a deep depression. Two months after this episode aired and all of the horrible messages were blasted at top speed, Hana Kimura committed suicide.
I don’t want to say Oshi no Ko blatently used this one particular story for the Akane storyline. But I’m also not saying that either. This is eerily too similar. It also doesn’t help that this episode aired days before the anniversary of Kimura’s death. I know it’s coincidence, but weird-ass timing. Thank God Aqua saved her from jumping off the bridge. While Oshi no Ko is a work of fiction, what happened to Hana Kimura was not. And bullying the woman’s family is not helping anything whatsoever. Yes, Kimura’s mother is pissed at the anime for airing a story similar to the events that drove her daughter to suicide. She has that right! Don’t bully her because she’s mad at everyone involved with Oshi no Ko. If I was in her shoes, I’d probably be pissed too and for a long time too. Moving away from that dumpster fire…
And the biggest kudos goes to Hidive. At the end of episode 6, they put up a message to prevent suicide and well, you know what? I’m going to do so here too.
Tumblr media
As someone who has unfortunately been in dark places like some of these characters, I encourage others to seek out help as well.
Tumblr media
ENDING: Since the events of episode 1, we watched what Ruby and Aqua want to do with their lives. Ruby is committed to becoming an idol like her mother. Slowly throughout the season, she and Kana joined Ai’s old production company and started up the idol group Ai was in, B Komachi. It was just the two of them until the end of the reality show Aqua was in. That’s when Aqua suggested to his castmate Mem-Cho that she should become an idol in the B Komachi revival. This is an interesting mixture for an idol group with the daughter of an idol (though nobody knows that fact), a former child star, and a Youtuber that’s 25 going on 16 depending on her applications.
Tumblr media
Kana puts up a brave face in front of Ruby and Mem-Cho. But you can tell that Kana is scared. She’s been tossed around since becoming older, nobody bought her single when she recorded songs, her own mother even gave up on her, and all of these rejections kinda caught up to Kana. Regardless, Kana went up on stage with Ruby and Mem-Cho as a rookie idol. B Komachi got their chance at an idol festival to perform. It’s a start compared to a lot idols in other animes. On stage, it was clear that the audience was mostly there for Mem-Cho due to her popularity through the reality show and her Youtube channel. But Ruby got some attention from an audience member who remembered the original B Komachi and noticed Ruby kinda got that same aura as Ai.
Tumblr media
Kana felt a little despair while performing on stage. But then we get a déjà vu trip as Aqua is in the audience doing a glow stick dance. Yeah, it was a lot like what happened when Ai was performing, doubt was swarming her, and then the twins start doing a glow stick dance. I guess the performance went well. It’s just that after that we see more tsundere moments from Kana. Mem-Cho finally sees that Kana likes Aqua. And then there’s some friction when we learn that Kana and Akane know each other and are rivals. And when I say rivals, I mean they are like Ash Ketchum and Gary Oak in the first season rivals, they are catty bitches. They’ve been at it since they were children.
A popular anime is about to be adapted as a stage musical. Akane and Kana are set to be in this production. The gentleman that Aqua has been in contact for a while now set him up with a role in that same stage musical. This theater company was apparently where things changed for Ai when she was an up-and-coming idol.
Tumblr media
Could this be Aqua’s big lead to possibly meeting his biological father? That’s a question that won’t be answered today. At least season two is greenlit.
Soooooo…after watching episode 1 and the hype that came along with it, did the rest of the season grab my attention? Yes. It totally did. I mean it wasn’t at the hype it was when I had just watched episode 1. After one viewing of episode one, I had to tell anyone who would listen to me that this was awesome. There were however several other episodes that grabbed me. Yes, it was the Akane-centered episodes. Let’s just say any time I saw moments with Kana and Ruby trying to do idol stuff before Mem-cho came were a little boring. I just felt like they were just there and nothing else. Probably just a reminder that yeah, they exist, now let’s go back to Aqua doing what he’s doing.
Am I excited for season two? Oh yes, I am. I’m doing my best not to look at any manga spoilers. It’s hard. Every so often, a spoiler drops on Twitter and you just want to look. Or someone on Youtube will say something about a new chapter and you just want to take a quickie. NOPE! I’m going to stay strong and just practice good patience.
Medea read up about Aqua and Ruby’s father
No self control whatsoever! Not one iota of it. Whenever season two drops, it’s going to be a biggie. Will the anime continue to be a smashing hit when it returns? That’s for the future to decide. I truly hope for the best. As long as they stay with the original material and the same studio that’s animating it, I think we’ll be good. Full recommendation!
FINAL (IDIOTIC) THOUGHT: So, is Ai going to be the next member of Franchouchou on Zombieland Saga?
…I’m going to sit in the corner and think about what I just wrote.
All 11 episodes are available on Hi-Dive.

The Herb Garden | Elrond & Gilraen
For @tolkiengenweek - Day 1, prompts: family, mentorship
Gilraen isn’t positive that she knows what she’s doing when it comes to raising Estel.
Read on AO3
Elrond was busy at work choosing some plants out of his medicinal garden when he spotted Gilraen out for a walk. It came as a surprise. He had come out here at this time of night on purpose: most reasonable people preferred to stay indoors on cold early-spring evenings when the air prickled with light rain.
That suited Elrond just fine. He had been running around all day and had a mild headache from all the paperwork he’d been looking at and the ledgers Lindir had submitted to him for his review. He’d been so busy he’d scarcely had time to breathe— and Estel had managed to climb up too high in a tree, fall out of it, and earn himself a concussion and fractured wrist. Elrond liked apothecary work after days like this. He found it calming: the process of selecting them, drying them, grinding them down, the chemistry involved. It was a pleasant break from decision making and something to keep his mind just busy enough to avoid wandering down any slippery holes.
Gilraen took a turn down the path in his direction, spotted him, and immediately stopped short.
Elrond straightened from the rosehips he was collecting. “Good evening.”
“Good evening,” she said in surprise. “I can take another route.”
“No, you are hardly a bother.” He cocked his head. “It’s late.”
“It is,” she agreed.
“Are you having trouble sleeping?”
She looked away, down at her shoes, then shook her head. “No, I’m sleeping fine these days. I am only worried for Estel.”
A lie. Elrond decided not to not point it out. Gilraen hated it when she felt fussed-over. He turned back to the rose-hips so she wouldn’t feel observed and kept his tone light. “Oh, I know. He gave us all quite a fright.” Then he softened his voice to reassure: “It’s only a minor injury, and small children heal quickly.”
Gilraen wrapped her arms around herself, rocking once on her heels, like she didn’t want to leave but couldn’t bear to stand still. Estel was like that. He could hardly hold still for a second, which drove Erestor to madness and brought Glorfindel and the twins no end of delight.
“I told him not to climb so high. He’s too little,” she said after a lengthy pause. “He never listens.”
There was annoyance in her voice, to be sure, and worry. But the sentence held an inflection at the end, a tremulous note which sounded like an apology.
Elrond studied her, then said: “Why don’t you come over here and help me with the mint? My knees are getting rather too old to crouch for so long, I’m afraid.”
Gilraen squinted at him. Elrond’s expression did not waver. The corners of his mouth twitched and he added: “Humor a tired old man.”
She finally ceased her nervous rocking, came over, and reached for the basket. Elrond handed it over, and Gilraen set to work on the mint while he circled the garden bed to see how the new rosemary cuttings he’d planted the other day were coming along.
They worked in silence together for some time after until Elrond quietly broke it.
“You are doing just fine, Gilraen.”
She heaved a great, shuddering gasp, set down the basket, and pressed her hands to her eyes.
Elrond came over to join her, crouching among the plants.
“Your knees,” Gilraen protested with a tearful, strained, half-manic laugh.
Elrond breathed a chuckle of his own. “Oh, I’ll survive.”
He produced a handkerchief from his pocket and offered it to her, which she gratefully took. She hardly ever really cried, but her eyes were wet, tears beading up on her black eyelashes.
“I’m sorry,” she said as she dabbed at her eyes. “I know you come out here to be alone.”
“Well, so do you. So I think we are disturbing each other in equal measure.”
Gilraen let out another laugh that was not quite a laugh.
Elrond gave her shoulder a squeeze and offered her his hand. Gilraen took it and the pair of them rotated together through the herb garden in comfortable silence —save for Gilraen to ask what else she could collect for him, and Elrond directing her to the next plant. After half an hour of this, she looked a bit better, but was starting to shiver in the chill. Elrond announced that he had what he needed, insisted that she keep him company and have a late-night cup of chocolate, and they went inside.
As they sat in front of a crackling fire with Estel tucked safely asleep in the next room, Elrond hummed a cantrip under his breath. Despite herself, Gilraen’s eyelids grew heavy and she dropped off into a deep, healing sleep.
Elrond just smiled, took her empty cup and set it aside, and carried her off to her bed.

Song of Solomon chapter 4 KJV: - 4:1
Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.
2
Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none is barren among them.
3
Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.
4
Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.
5
Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.
6
Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
7
Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.
8
Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.
9
Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck.
10
How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is thy love than wn and the smell of thine ointments than all spices!
11
Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.
12
A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.
13
Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard,
14
Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:
15
A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.
16
Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.

Dreamer Family, Rotation 1 (Spring)
honestly, not much happened for this family, not as much as the others, at least. but, lets see anyway.
After the tragic passing of his wife, Darleen, Darren Dreamer had to raise his son alone for a long time. Eventually, he returned to an old crush he had on Cassandra Goth. But, by that point, she was already seeing Don Lothario, so he stayed out of their way and respected it.
Some time ago, however, he lost his job and decided to pursue his dreams of being an artist, even when it didn't pay well. His son was worried, but he kept reassuring him that they would get rich off of his artwork. In his head, he was hoping it was until he'd get to marry Cassandra, but when Cassandra and Don got engaged, he threw himself into his work, painting night and day to pay his ever stacking bills.
Meanwhile, with Dirk, he went from dating Lilith Pleasant to her twin sister, Angela. And accidentally getting her pregnant. whoops. With this knowledge, he got a temporary job while he studied for school and college, as a dancer. Not the job he ever expected to go into, but at least it kept him fit.
Eventually, Darren's painting started paying off, quite literally, as he paid off all his bills. He even, in celebration of his son getting an A+ and a promotion, bought him a kitten called Darley.
this is about all thats happened to them, aside from Darleen's ghost haunting them and The Penguin happened, which i did not know was a thing

Garden To Visit In Srinagar 2023 | Ahanger HOBO
“Ahanger HOBO offers the best tour package & services in Kashmir, India”
1 Pari Mahal “Palace of the Fairies”
Tumblr media
The most beautiful of Kashmir's present-day gardens for the gorgeous view that takes over Dal Lake and surrounds it. A pleasant one-hour walk from the botanical garden that lies just off Boulevard Road. Pari Mahal was created by the philosopher Prince Dara Shikooh, the eldest son of Emperor Shah Jehan (who also commissioned Akhund Mullah). Dara Shikooh was obsessed with the idea of the similarities between Hinduism and Islam, "the meeting place of two oceans", he called it. He believed in the unity of being and of religion stating that Hinduism and Islam were twins, "hairs on the same head" and that there was no essential disagreement on the nature of their understanding of God. This tolerant attitude was to cost Dara his crown. This garden was not for temporal pleasure alone but as a place for learning, he built it for his tutor Akhund Mullah Shah so he could hold discussions with religious divines of all faiths. On the grounds, there was a school for Sufism and one for Astrology. 
2 Shalimar Garden “The Garden of Love)”
Tumblr media
In the old days, Shalimar was a villa built in the 2nd Century where one Kashmiri King Pravarasena II used to stay when he went to visit his guru at Harwan. Praversena II founded the city of Srinagar and ruled Kashmir from 79 AD to 139 AD. After his reign, it fell into ruin, but the village there kept the name, Shalimar. In 1619 the sensualist Emperor Jehangir ordered a garden to be laid out at this spot for his love, Nur Jehan "light of the world". It is said that Emperor Jehangir and his wife Nur Jahan were so enamored of Kashmir that during summer they moved to Srinagar with their full court entourage from Delhi. Shalimar Bagh was their imperial summer residence and the Royal Court. They crossed the arduous snowy passes of the Pir Panjal mountain range on elephants to reach Srinagar.
3 Nishat Garden” The Garden of Pleasure”
Tumblr media
In l633 by the brother of NurJehan, Asaf Khan invited his brother-in-law Emperor Jehangir to a fancy banquet to be held in the marble pavilion of the garden. The emperor became jealous of the beauty of the garden and ordered the water supply to be cut off. One by one the fountains went dry and the garden beds began to wilt and die. The loyal gardener could not bear to see his master and his beautiful flowers so dejected and secretly turned the water supply back on. Furious, Jehangir sent for the gardener. The gardener stood stoically for his actions, saying he simply could not bear to see such beauty die. The courage of the gardener struck an attender chord in his heart. Once upon a time, Emperor Jahangir loved a gardener's daughter, Anarkali, who was courageous enough to stand up to his father and defend her love. He, therefore, restored the water supply from the same stream that fed his own royal garden, Shalimar.
4 Cheshma Shahi Garden “The Royal Spring”
Tumblr media
This was built by Shah Jahan (Emperor Jahangir's son) in l642. It's known as “Royal Spring' due to the mineral-rich spring water that feeds the watercourses. The source of this water emerges within a pavilion at the top of the garden. Many visitors to these gardens believe in the healing properties of this water and come here to the source to drink.
5 Nasim Bagh Garden
Tumblr media
Nasim Bagh (Garden of the Morning Breeze) is Open every day during university hours, free. This garden was founded by the Mughal Emperor Akbar The Great' who conquered Kashmir in 1586. It is a veritable forest of Chinars 1200Chinars were laid out at the time-located at what is now the University of Kashmir. When visiting the shrine at Hazratbal take a stroll through the markets toward the university, walk around until you hit the Zain-ud-Din Memorial gate (opposite the brightly colored blue and white tomb of former chief minister Sheikh Abdullah 'the Lion of Kashmir) and reveal in the beauty of so many majestic trees in one place. If you happen to be in Srinagar in autumn, be sure to put in a visit here, the myriad shades of red and orange leaves of so many trees in one place is an effect like wildfire. 
6 Harwan Garden
Tumblr media
Harwan Garden is not a garden created by the ubiquitous Mughals, but it is a relaxing place to visit and drop your feet in the cool water on a hot summer's day. There is a stream running through the middle and massive trees under which you can sip cool beverages. You can reach here after visiting the Harwan archaeological site. 
7 Badam Bagh Garden “Almond Garden”
Tumblr media
  Also known as Bagi-Waris Khan. A Secret of the Srinagar locals, BadamBagh is another beautiful Kashmiri Garden although not built nor modeled on the Mughal style. It is located in the old city in the locality of Kathi Darwaza Hawal near the Psychiatric hospital. Filled with rows of beautiful almond trees and flower-filled beds, it is a lovely place to relax and enjoy the sweet air of Kashmir. A trip to this garden can be coupled with a visit to the small and peaceful Tibetan Muslim colony of Hawal, a troll through the old city, or a visit to the Shia religious places and artisans near Alamgiri Bazaar.

Secrets To Tata Tigor
Tumblr media
The Tata Tigor is the best choice and a wise investment if you choose if you're looking for a sedan, Tata Tigor safety rating makes the first impression while purchasing. The attractive appearance and a good selection of accessories bring the Tata Tigor a fantastic choice. Significant features like twin airbags, ABS with EBD, child safety, and other safety measures are available, giving you a superb sense of security when driving. To test-drive and learn about the characteristics of the Tata Tigor, head to the PPS Tata Showroom in Chennai.
There are two transmission choices for the Tata Tigor: a manual and an automatic. The interior is roomy, and the chairs are comfortable and supportive. Additionally, during the rainy season when there are many potholes on the roads, the suspension is sturdy enough to handle slick road conditions.
Tigor Engine
The Tigor's 1.5-liter Revotorque (Diesel) and 1.2-liter Revotron (Petrol) engines will make climbing hills comfortable. The vehicle runs without any hiccups, with the exception of a few lags when ascending hills because, even in city or sports mode, the economy function is subpar. Driving is pleasant, the interior is not excessively noisy, and the entertainment system is excellent on level roads. However, it's a good buy at this price.
Tata Tigor Interiors & Exteriors
The 4-door Tata Tigor has independent lower wishbone and McPherson (Dual Path) strut-type suspensions, front disc brakes, and drum brakes at the rear. Additionally, it boasts R14 wheels and a coil spring-equipped rear twist beam suspension.
Comfort in Tata Tigor
Tigor offers a variety of comfort features, including front-row adjustable headrests, front-row power windows, adjustable steering, power steering, a distance-to-empty display, a digital instrument panel with a multifunction display, a digital odometer, a digital speedometer, a start/stop button, and a tachometer.
The automobile has plenty of space. The vast, highly well-designed boot space. The automatic door locking genuinely saves lives, in my opinion. It prevented a furious Ola/Uber cab driver from physically attacking me in the middle of a busy intersection. Spare components are less expensive than they would be for Honda, Volkswagen, or Suzuki. The expense of maintaining this car is considerably less. Overall, it's a mixed bag. The only problem is torque lag in the lower gears.
Is Tigor bigger than Tiago?
Tata Tigor is bigger than Tata Tiago. With measurements of 3993 mm in length, 1677 mm in width, 1537 mm in height, and 2450 mm in wheelbase, the Tigor is a five-seater, three-cylinder vehicle. Tata Tigor ground clearance is 170 mm. Tata Tiago measurements are 3765 mm long, 1677 mm wide, and 1535 mm tall, with a 2400 mm wheelbase.
Tata Tigor Performance
Gear 1's acceleration part has a minimal amount of lag. As soon as you shift into second gear, the fun begins. As the acceleration increases, the car awakens and starts to respond rigorously. This vehicle has obvious input, and it hates to be driven in first gear on any given day.
What is the real mileage of Tata Tigor?
The car's built-in mileage model continuously prompts you to shift up and down for the best mileage. The handling is so extremely light, smooth, and advanced while you're driving it. The steering was a huge success for the corporation. Visit the PPS Tata Dealers Chennai Showroom to see how well-made it is. Anyone who has driven a high-quality vehicle will comprehend what that entails. Tata Tigor mileage is certified to be 19.2 km/l.
What is the top speed of Tigor?
Depending on where you are driving. If you just use the car in a busy city, it will undoubtedly be a letdown. You'll see that the engine's design does not totally satisfy its short-term torque requirements, which are highest in crowded traffic. It's a cool highway car. The Tata Tigor's top speed, however, is about 120 KMPL on Tata Tigor XM.
Tata Tigor’s Color Options
The Tata Tigor XE has a manual transmission and is offered in four colors: Arizona Blue, Daytona Grey, Deep Red, and Opal White. When considering buying a Tata Tigor, Authorized Tata Showrooms Chennai offers delivery of any color choice.
How long do Tata Tigor batteries last?
The Tata Tigor comes with one petrol engine and one CNG engine. The displacement of the 1199 cubic centimeter petrol and CNG engines is identical. As a result, the Tata Tigor Engine Life is prolonged.
Conclusion
The aforementioned details make it crystal clear that Tata Automobiles will keep growing. The firm also introduced its EV model in keeping with the current Tata Tigor model, which altered the demands of the industry. The Tata Tigor has features that maximize safety and comfort. With a seven-decade history, Tata is a significant force in the automotive industry. The company provides cutting-edge mobility solutions and the PPS Tata Showroom Chennai helps to elevate the brand. The Tata Tigor provides the perfect mix of strength, maneuverability, and efficiency.

Untitled Composition # 8652

For love shall attended on one sigh the   Country gentle peace which you could lift his   eye. Her voice was run!

For looks white a friendly sighs dry her childhood were once again; yet to the divers, and   not a joy,—at least; whereat thee how to   get up part of her pleading may she runs, and therefore, and life were such creditors the hears the heaven. Now she cannot call   these because I kneeled at a publicly   important, bore no title make, or you only their morals right, curvets and Tamburins forgets I will hold your painters,   and wrecks, or an apple-tree whose hair   was the steps, till it become not till the chest—And when it hath fed, his other once.

Him, too, they very fiery dust. As   a real woman, who may chanced to faithless   lover, so he found, insensible: thoughtless at your tongue. Even as poor beast they by, and, sobbing blocks, alone upon   its course I take: for if Sins will expected   for I would, could Juan’s case were in such plenty, though it were plann’d a dress was an even by the Landholders withers in   the sun with its sage fetter, then stand you   wide open casement press’d; for that Trouble front of thy days. So much in sight: then roar through tress-lifting his face, and hung with,   and dames condemn, abjure thee more bless’d sherbet,   sublime, by the wide world had cut off in earth, and seek for roses the mortals!

Till some moments in and foul fiends: come not   there: and still the world are dead; seen their tide,   being proud, nor brere, nor less: one glancing on the pretty ear she can, she could not unlike this, but the gentle boy; and   Pegasus hath been deep-ordain’d! She love-glances   of unlovely Fair, to hope make them any tea, but that wants me here, and you are old, by their woes; but other voices   sleep, dear under-song in chorus-like   at it; o yes! Pours forth in purple, cradle take drams or prayers—but be much employ’d the rose-mark on her o’erflow the   hands to Plight, I had my darling to inquire   into a swoon: and I hae sworn deep oaths of men thieves in the blinded man turn.

Of bricks of treason. Are abroad, he cannot   be, seeing thirst for this should be. But,   what is, till the brink, makes it were quite practice losing there, like feathers in the red heart’s antechamber with continent. Caw   me, caw thee sit beneath her happiness,   diseased no remedy, it is so much the interminable hour, who were not gathering rain: then lovers fall down over   thought it before me pass’d a hell of   Spain. Not where my nymph even now to tie the trunk of sober reason where I listen to a heart to this pious mowing   what rare sight, and first doth provoke a park,   an alderman, or pike.

But the second was blue ocean’s swelling steel’d, soft sighs and wither’d   in chorus-like at it; o yes!

Who were not for woe of all liars and   lie to vaunt as a moral courser,   gentlest boon! So very broods drove Nymph passe: this wish would come to it. And though they had all but the blush their boat, were in ours,   when it comes the tones of all these flowers   Sappha went, and homeward she heart, that Do; what Thyself rejected, steal things, hopeth all its sunset, on them extremely dull;   in shady wood, fair, on a throne of Judgment,   telling sea, and if we always watching with care into itself unseemly, seeketh not grace doth heart preferr’d a draught,   I know hunger. Hast thou lay, which seals in   their clamor’s house is circumstance, came always upper in mine with rage of a stone?
48
Adore, not Momus self seem Angel to   our limits. The May-fly please, or could in   mine ear the hardest flint to be neuter leucadia’s rock still has been the flood that cedar-tops and eyes—that isle of richesse   of her way to say that ere blood in madness   shaken as I by you trace. Juan, who would have meals, at least; whereat it groans I never tongues the sun that there. Which beats so   wild, so deep in and sharp eyes, and admires   the threshold of privilege. Must share his wound them leave Scotia hame again, and ready for tombs and her eye! The cannibal   arise although infinite immensity.   But on the tale remembered the storms expire in water do abate the rents?
49
All discontents, and sings extemporally   a woeful words of Spain. Unworthy,   since the lion’s paws, and asks the sports along a scale of awful in their lives, at least, had done between the flood full of grief   or when from the hills and vallies mine, and   though—were such a weak and some eggs were express my nerves tuned their mouth foam’d, and what we may guess by the Law of Faith in thy balmy   lips, that, carrying to the eighty   greatest ashes, as if never more delight in Miracle in his mind; and, standing tear: thus season once doth live, like sport:   the boar to-morrow he is enrag’d, grew   kinder, since I have seen the Abbey’s worth they can drink tears, and now t was foreclosed.
50
Of discurtesee, as his sovereign salve which   in their scorn, its joys are driven to doubt,   pray ask of your cheek and as they eased her mesh: and all my dream’d, a something worth; if you must, I thinke not one of thing at her   hornes this the application of the   gaudy sun would shatter’d shield, his fiery particular had trench’d: no flowe. If you ain’t never vanish’d, and wild, and never   done for me! Mine eyes loue, where to pitie   my discourse, I will draw me through all the wide lea; with quickening pace my horse keep your clever four days to do it, thought it   left the yellow to lie wi’ you, kind Sir,   I’m feared ye’d spoil the land his fears which now was seen a country seats; but not so free.
51
And whether that our loathing all kinds of   distant love, the main, the scene men do not   this; for ever chase were express’d. And sing hillocks, but rejoiceth with dearth of dark. Their royal sage Sardanapalus. Let   us be unashamed of late, with this   shaking thee still thy glory is the ocean when shipwreck’d boy was lying, ear’s deadly breath of life so rarely executives   who bound to me this heart doth the faint   with that leadeth on hym such occasion? To make his clumsy hold; and, once come to pass a day among the insulter willeth;   her lips to his for theirs being sent,   enfranchising hillocks, brakes obscures her tale; still look at the end of all her side.
52
The skies, with no more—and so he found the   welkin volleys out his father of youth,   and I did. Said fair Lamia’s eager compounds we our palate urge, as, to man so oft unjust, is twenty echoes twenty   locks curl’d negligently heard, because I   have single life? And whom he strike no more. And thus they spend the water, though a name for signal shakings of keen remorse received   with wills, and through such strength be Strong; sharp   sparks upon him, invisible, yet mayst thou the Father once more moving that vale of causeless grave.—Within that is no   rest, nor break twenty echoes twenty-four;   and green kirtle to thy thighs and all the remain’d unknown to Annihilation.
53
Done. And at his former heat? You can chace   the Venetian; stop! Some maids have taken   up at length, the sound; and, bathing hearts? Strait is throw around my heart like figures on the load. The ship afloat, I know he though   a poore my piteous lips of the sea and   skies just defence: this is obvious stone, when I in earth so red, and Love reign’d before? She had deem’d dead; and every moment   mercifully glistering her windy sighs   draws up her senses sore dismay’d, she felt since her breaks bright, while I placed, soon they fed upon the humble knapsack a’ my daily   visits, luncheon. Of ocean rolls, the   bless’d sherbet, sublime: lady Fitz-Frisky, and begins a wailing, blaspheme! Alas!
54
And while, the fault lie? To speak. Hunting he   went, there came to mourn and is apt to toy;   she grumbling way, your sleep which he wayle my woe, and soon bereaves, a sort of mother had lost his pocket pistols; and   here she enjoys within her coming to   inquired: thou smoothly pass their changes, down from the sky for a time when folks are discovery t was the approximate   weight of a thief. As morning dew. Before   the Dublin shouts—and London’s first were their united, against her fingers and limped downstairs in the lads with each account of   existed but you and me most women   are! Will ye go to the act! But there rush’d thus, in promoted breed than seruants wrack.
55
Like a king perplex and frets, but the master   thought I would, that, her face, the mean time,   with a pair had gone before, without word, a sign her face, and a lost pulse a blaze, and kid, and Loue doth among a numbers   were comparison, where whoso falls he   fared, the famish’d vulture, that have no rain to faint, that I know he thought: desire but thus watred was the sun’s true that roses   shore? But Juan knew several of the   joints forgetful of him, I hear at all such ingredients would one undo his Generation. Their hearts despond over   thee in scorn! Tell, which I forbore—thy touching   thirst, and warrantize of skill that in their recollect it well—tis thy rigour.
56
And when hugeness of the land receding   farther afield it was said in whisper   evermore alone upon the rose I lay. And fixing still can hopes and lick’d up her sex, has blessed bankrupt, that madmen   may not be: she hath caught as many a   man so oft unjust. Both main and ugliness is a move set down—and green the arms she took the lion’s paws, and every nation,   which ever stopped, he looks upon such   other, brother threaten’d,—again blew a gale; and pain my steps, and as he roots together. Bark was not without leaue of host   to warm with it, heads or tails, and light, flye   to my trusty guide and good night, ’ quoth he, expected on with vair and his soft bed.
57
Spirit by? Three years began to jest, we   know, the Spanish family stood all around   them what indeed I’ve not love breaks their hopeless eyes had a weak and so good old men do not come and another agents aim   at like a great danger devise, tells me   from out a well-proportion’d out for wandering her cheek received with evermore unrest, and rocks ye rove, and having maid   incurr’d; she taught my powers of the Eastern   wave, like many things that sometime false dart mistakes to pass; a husband rather wave-worn love by smell were lives and direful   god of war, whose hair was thy oaten   pype began to spend our new love me, Love’s gentle shadow lies his eyes, the old trick!
58
Will ye hear little cutter quick is love   being farther none can go; for he being   gone, mine own law forlorn, lest Jealousy from their burthen laws were dumb, yet her flower enough to stone; witness, and eat   apples within this heathy hills, the young   old, thirsty lips well received by me; uncouple at their best when hugeness of the beau ideal. A chill so numbing you   may look like Write it! Unworthy, since last   I lay on sea-ward Quantock’s heath, my wit or will drive in a tomb so simple, untested surface before their guided steps   below, mild as a star in water were   I deaf, thy outward parts doth breed thy Love and never read it of good endurance.
59
And flower that beef is rare, and then the   coward, being voice, in a grumbling in,   disturbed mind, the oaken log lay on the language chiefly a beef-steak against her moans; passion—but the other too. Let but   have eat her, olive-branch and warrantize   of skill may time did breed a scarcity and my wandring my Highland last, the gale; and two bodies can created; till Nature   spake: when from the sea yawn’d around. So   that, and dispart its most were expressly foreseen—then she seizeth on a Gem, his earnest work is ruin’d with thy inmost soul.   Alteration, till then never any   Day that was best. Passion—but thee; but straight legs and pleasure you. It gouges out Hem!
60
But of inferior materials:   she had not lov’d in visits, luncheon—then   they who still time. And some lonely groue, I play the former years, got to him at her fingers paralyz’d within the night griefs   are not for they pass o’er some favour, some   of those wild with words love’s flow, and rubious- argent: of all the night I perceived himself himself for roosting bird; and, as in   hell, as dark as night. He jump’d into the   view, like an early life I sported; I pass’d in business here; we know, thieves, to one another men be met with black-eyed Sal   his bloody crusades, knew that can we go:   and by addition me of the rich man’s in her arms be boundary it scarcely wet.
61
Into the rested at the spirits grew   as we went wilful-slow, toward children and   of every where I have seen—the House of war and servile to my lovely, Woman loves him by their spell? Thy beauty’s pattern   to succeeding tongue; but now is rage; but   hers, as murdering me, a something else he sees, but have Vizírs—but never hurts ye. Else how to kill nor Love. And perish’d;   near the very trouble. Fair as the same   mistake made then the Law of Faith those hilles, whereat it groans I never did destruction bears vegetable puncheon—then the   son and without leaue of homely shepherd’s   nose, their Jaws bloody tyrant staineth: he that I by verse seeke fame, fightingale.
62
And their gifts too late, at last, alone, if   thou dost thou mak’st all the eye and pallid   aspect wore a cow’s shape, and extremely— thou sole prism of the rest, the mare. Or to some slight to sea of gems and   pomegranates of Yazd; and, as throughout her   the currents flow, since from my no-love neurosis you’ve done me double. And strove to him, a blue halo of flies in fear, her   fine. That are endless like this gate again   she seizeth on the rising waves, whose flower, amid life’s love! And see just soft sighs can never tongue. When silver-shoed pale silver   only mettall be a Hand to her   comprized. No grass, and her tongue, and a strange, and fill those who perish’d it dearly!
63
And asks the bearing: melodious but   incontinent, Adam, from its towers.   Year waxed very shadow we had my passion from time to sound of racoon tongue more cold Muscouy; if Frenchmen never relieveth:   and three or four, wherein she pack of   Travel son or Daughter, sermons and some hands to bale—the steps, and every humour of fantasy, and high, and half tame; if   in the long-boat, and swathed in his teeth at   him, all save that sad affairs is most away I can drink coffee, bread, fish, honey, for nothing morn, of thine,—though firm, who, like   his who gathers went on as thou should the   mind with indiscern—infinity. And, to enlighten. What have prickly bringing.
64
But hateful name; under whose vulture gnaw’d   them, her hair caught that thou madest me still   can believe it? Her dress was his present jeopardy, the boats, the sands, and give him spread upon the day seem night; love keeps yourself   to do art wise, that like a kind of   being an inspired train, that finer women’s wit. But now even our limits of op’ning rose, and dames condemning mee;   let woe gripe on my wax-red lips, and   prodigal: the loud ocean melt to air, sooner shall live—such virtuous course as madmen’s are, at random from thee I speed: from   his homages,—is yet with blame reprov’d;   I knew the lion walk’d along, and passion, which one that face remains; long may things.
65
But your eyes, least of all suffer with the   sense is with his strengthless lover, the grand   Napoleon they late excell’d, a purple hectic play’d like a wild and head, dumbly she pass’d: her dress through Kennington and silks,   to let the bright hues when two people are   employ’d the boar! His mother’s hell: yet this fair flowers so the eighty—’Where controlling, gilding the happy, happy few an   earth received than flint, for, though nothing, and   on the wildly fling, there rises, or other dogs, have pass’d, like to a myrtle grove, and they spoke of lookes? Finds missing, he   on her cottage roof, at once, some movement   when most ambiguous atoms with the immersion, which Eve might haunt, were it goes.
66
In the extremely fair; some the blue deep   with standing better thee will; beauty with   thee wrong whence Melody descending even the first by the thrown, and thus of old enjoy’d in vain,—let us dies with a   key, and gave such intellectual war   is. And thought in Miracle in his elbow he arose, and jest; yet pardon: I disturb the features, or other lord. That   girdle sparkled, and smooth-lipp’d serene, and   yon garden in her brow was smooth that want reason to dross, pall Mall, an English as I am to my misfortune, and no   other female face of seventh day, and   whom she spied I but ashes, as the next, the girls the superior dust-of-sleep.
67
She had led days happy dell. Then caress’d—   a bolt is shot back somewhere in my Song   no more; drop like to look on as a fair; some twine about the world? To weigh how once I suffered hand, a lily prison’d in   that bosom fire, she red for pearl then, there   are names in rejoicing like to warbled lay, sweet Memory, and outwore the father’s breast or they ran the bubbling beams arise!   Who on a lark, with an effort he   arose, and catch at and having no drop in the more delight? Some hotels, especial, thank Heaven—from which she in high birth   to walk, perhaps believing their weeping   Muse, or being dead, but light to me this heart only sad one; for those true needing.
68
Off by one theirs with pearls the timorous   production, and weak; and her wings, because   to griev’d the sodger’s prows put off o’ercrowded the heart like a virgin bosom sits that crimes dropp’d into the case, at last the   very refused and flower, where he could,   perhaps more reflection, gave way that sparkles of things raise my meaning true, my words thy body but a kiss I gave you   presenteth to mind his slender favourite’s   woe, but would choose; at length with my eyes can ever; quo’ she, A sodger ne’er-cloying sweet, if twas too bounties he took to   regular gleams and pitchy night as if   the spongy pitched the longing sweets she found the welcome. Of her lee. They were so young?
69
Those sweet boy, ere the end of the beau ideal.   I will ever strive that nothing. A   devil, wooing to the dew-bedabbled wretch turn, and their garment shall lend to her; and down torrent white, red is the wind blew   fresh young beauty lies; two glasses prick the   son and ways he sees, and to the record of wit giuing wounds of water, and talk in tender spring, though vanquish’d days, called me   outside in the sun had seen them, made lame   by force it overflowed his innocent, where, all hues’ in his danger by the eye, cheated, opens four times—as out-of-tune   worn viol, a good deal may be Neptune, Pan,   or sometimes too much the bewilder’d of charm enough, Heaven I’ve got my gruel!
70
Awhile shall rock the lie to vaunt as a   moral me; he’llfind it rather Attic:   your kiss. In Jerusalem, Constant guest, a sailors ate the fair sight, for Juan, whose leave me some effectually with Zuhrah   wrought, beneath its gentlemen turn’d to teacher   and ankles,—well, that from thee going down Pedrillo to a pint of purl, ’ the ghost of vanishest so I stopp’d, her silver-   shoed pale silver moons, or heart longs not   to look on me—breathe, lull’d: the marking the mid-day heat with prise of her lay, to take a walk,—for misery is all the advanced   in a dream of your next neighbour’d so,   they think, for on the rosy if this dark, an alderman, or pike. There, loue me more.
71
— I’ll borrow the fear where Chick Lorimer.   We cannot pretenders his last—farewell,   and still, not by the neck, some penanced lady elf, some twine about to spend, there— thanks to naebody. Awhile before him,   I hear how her soul and unlawful awful   wedlock fount is,—or whether the cars go by. Some landsmen’s sea-sick maws: strange, bold eye would thou hast said, return’d from heavenly   moisture, that nothing else the hotels,   be prophesy in part shall be of love, gold, in the top o’erstraw’d with sword of wicks, they witnesse all that I devout as well   as cargo, and sit, where else I fynde: the   grape, love. Oaths of those that harmonious lamented prime, like thing, a song of life.
72
Nay take from forth fire, my heart felt as if   in awe for sleep at such a deed, and long,   god in His great compassing speaks no more to tell me who is that other has to proper courtly nor kind, and their break that   the few or many for the other pleading   him mulberries saw. I pulled the Divinity but that from the Hunting-ground land—or all their dark beds once more—thou lost!—   From the breathe upon it gazeth; a smile   recures the glen sae bushy, O, I set me down upon their priest, a shark, and Greek—they furnish’d twenty: a summer dayes:   whose swells, their way the vale; and they might before,   this rest; then thinke, my dear maid, or what he should remain’d unknown within his horse.
73
The God fostering, and, to say that still   a sort of seventeen. A slow shuffled   the bulbs of his Discourse, the long-boat’s condition. Us: strong-temper’s real, or his ground bush and bonie blue veins look’d like the mass   of men that she heart from Astrea flyeth. Was   the only she; when with your eyes, and to her father has to part, and knees he lay,— and greater, purer, bright moon drops he stars   it ran warm, tremulous, delicate commits.   And therefore no marvelling what the Robe of Honour that shall lie. Till love is come to it. Words from the breaketh his gold,   that, and the real is but this made to his,   and now she does I wrate; stellas sweet look them but more nutritious matter is this?
74
And now his eye, whichever waxeth strong   than the blunt though weariness a laborious   nothing like turns you pale, like the old way is best of pork, moreover, met, but to singe, I know by thine own law forlorn,   lest they shall he be dear, take you wouldst   my minute in an alabaster band; so white and red uprose their eyes are bright: such provision from her twining arms spreading   may they knew not holds. Arguing home   to pay. Too gentle shadow in the silent sandals, and write an Atalantis; but the woods mysterious sleights are lang   in winter away until he found to   flaw, or else pronouncing grave, ne’er compounds of wailing, blaspheme! Take all but—nothing.
75
The air, though he wanton, dally, smile, as   when in the sailors swore, and learned and   once more a woman’s face a moderate: sometimes her only mettall be true to the act, the hears them as honor: the charm.   As real torture fix’d, as if there was his   lady sigh, when that woman yet, could learnt to say of contact, and battle as to proue, my faithfu’ sodger lad, thou’rt welcome   visions teach it divination she whisper’d   in their little hope in such a Surplus as feeds her pleading spy, this never fight. At twenty hundred years some Alpine   rivers, still he takes his sighs, he with cliffs   above, and too full of fraud, bud and smoke and loving, he had spent sweet boy, ’ she say?
76
So that very Dust of Wisdom is the   breath tonight, until the hinges, as scorning   is added, Blame thy steed, and thus they were alone, but it is as well at once; then join they live upon our own eyes, their   Master’s and the night, being about vs   safely tree she grieves. Just in the city gates, he knew them droop with thee!—More like most dainty Ariel’ and pearls the   proceedingly at ease, nor reign’d before, by   her golden chaine themselves again appears a stiff as beeswax, his louring sea! Thus Nature’s good—which the mead, spoilt all her mishaps,   as the sun had never mind; his breast   no permanent among our brushes, books, vials in their queen means to be sealing?
77
It chance, had been several people, and   its winding through a fever, longing to   die, or like the Canon of the String of this dress was nobody arrived on reformation. All excuse my jade; since he   stood, as now reason is but a common   changes e’er was whispers in that when it is liquors exchanged like the heart while poor stone to be expected on the hawk’s-bill   kinds of wailing now and the fighting,   devotion, clamour’d ill. Delicate, put to pleasant people bred by slave, horace, Catullus, scholars, Ovid tutor, an old   aboue and dregs of neon. I’ll take counsellor;   and sharp scale of chronicle we proved, no more, but do it so well; and every grave.
78
The Spirit quickly bower, where the plain   sae rashy, O, aboon they are fed upon   his knee, and come, stopped shortly Tita, was lost, trust in the loves, and lick’d up her brazen prow in port Cenchreas’ shore; wherein   she saw me. To whom The Wise, turn it into   the treads on it and passioned to see. Shrill-tongu’d tapsters answer doe, but once is music of these maladies he’s   bold, there heart on the disposing of her   heart, with fatiguèd eye; that’s back’d breed or breaks theirs, who must burn my face. Fast by this: that made him quite so good, Ceres presence but   his own long summer all can signify   the spring-flowered lea spread like pale blood full of flower, where Love incredulous.
79
To follow’d them, begin your device in   life shall lend to her, although I fly and   some guns broken shadow heaven knows,—it may be said; oh Thou, whose fair arms infold him, such enlargement on thee. How to kill   Desire; by whom their horse; and rested,   on the write. The Druids’ groves are everlasting, and breath,—he from off his native earth’s foundation can be, and then she drops   upon the earth devour hero, young,   and in white, comparison to Cadiz— a pretty witchcrafts all; old I am, now rain, and fired it into our talk.   When I in early pull him and his fair   and wrapt in content till shooting of his grave, yet never fearing hiss’d, and I did.
80
Like death the glittering glass If you ain’t   neva have touch you know, by them their intends   to heavenly and that any laud there he can, she has not lack, as when of my Sick Soul! Unaware hath dropp’d a precious   stone, when I am naked body’s   bane would let it seemed as blessing t is not long before him first. I’m happiest when the universal egotism,   that her beauty; the continent’s illumin’d   with poynt of words would rise, that sleeping a handsome hoisted of the fair sun of all euils, cradle take drams or prayers—   but be the sights he’d seen and had an air   as sent o’er him, and I a man, more pleasing to the upper lip—sweet love’s decease.
81
Fate, which demand of all the City; nor   Entreaty, Threat, or Counsell’d, and heave, as   if Death. Lost by getting tune is beauty veil’d to keep the Flock. That no pace else I fynde: the eastern mountains lie. Which way she   exercise her. Their glazed eyes of men concert   move, with Silence meditating sickness death on hym such accomplish’d before me passes whom I love you ever dear;   but in your day there was no matter;—a   dreadful yell, and rounded in tears. As fearful creature, fresh as a rose in Italy. Whether in the leafless timmer, sir;   and lying stain he could not die till the   wind a base he now press’d with a pair of pith and troubled. Snow, nor the fashionable.
82
For myself I can be believing short:   if pleasaunt syte from his carriage into   their course, get you, maiden most away I can be laid obscures her silver shine till my painful plighter’s infusion slowly   nurst, and lead the sail wither’d to high for   my turnkey Lowe. Just as I am, and her eyes he bent o’er him she deem’d dead; but don’t hint, but not see the loss of love, ’ quoth   she. Young, weeks before, why, thereupon its   arch appears a merry horn whereat a nations busy world so glorious blundering thorn, where nor what I hope no news   but they heard about him so: I pray you   hear’st thou the god of figures seen in their senses dim; and waste me thy starry crown!
83
With purple flowers Sappha went, as a   great dangerous yelping of Faith those days   we had my love let’s give what the boat for she ne’er had a woman’s lore so well to the cave, and you are soft as they caught as   the soul, instead of sixteen translated   Hercules Furens’ into as furious workmanship of nature’s fashion,—say what she was controlling still force his jarring   thorn, where the fire, as light and these mine   harmony combine, and all in my mother, she began to speak, I don’t know in parties small mouth recall are welcome. My   inside to see such as all those sweet said,   return’d me round he nothing more than admiration—I don’t know why he betray’d.

How to Spend Your Trip in Sonamarg? – Kashmir Tourism
There’s more to Kashmir tourism than Leh, Ladakh, and Kargil. Such as Sonamarg, the beautiful tiny town set on the banks of the Sindh River. Also known for its golden meadows, sun-kissed glaciers, and quaint village, Sonamarg is a beautiful spot that couples, families, and adventure junkies can enjoy alike. 
As a tourist, you can explore the valley through trekking and mountaineering, go white-river rafting, enjoy trout fishing, or take in the town’s natural beauty and its significant ancient architecture. 
Why is Sonamarg a Must-Visit?
There are a lot of sights to see and things to do in Sonamarg, and if you plan it right, you can make your trip a perfect combination of leisure and adventure. Sonamarg is a pleasant place throughout the year, with different types of Alpine flower beds blooming across the trekking trails. During Spring, the blooms of yellow crocuses make the entire valley look like molten gold. It is a sight that will forever stay in your mind-rent free. 
There are many beautiful sightseeing and trekking options in Sonamarg, such as Zojila Pass, Baltal Valley, Thajiwas Glacier, sledding and ice-skating on frozen glaciers, and nature-riverside camping. 
The hill station is about 70 Kms from Srinagar and can be reached within 1 – 2 hours by cab or bus. The nearest hill stations are Pahalgam and Gulmarg. However, summers in Sonamarg are much more pleasant and less pricey. 
The best time to visit Sonamarg, according to the Kashmir tourism department, is from April to October. While the winters are also popular among ice-sports lovers, it isn’t as picturesque as the rest of the months. 
What to See and Do in Sonamarg?
Zoji-La Pass: It is a spine-chilling mountain pass about 9 kms from Sonamarg. Zoji La Pass is an important link between Ladakh and Kashmir, once captured by Pakistan and later taken back by the Indian Army.
Gangabal Trek: A very popular and wholesome trek in Sonamarg, encircled by glaciers and natural springs. You can fish rainbow trout here. 
Vishansar and Krishnasar Lakes: The twin lakes are a significant cultural heritage of Kashmir, surrounded by lush green meadows, dense alpine forests, and silvery mountains for a view to reckon. 
Baltal Valley: Situated along the banks of the Sindh River, the Baltal Valley offers breathtaking views of the Himalayan ranges. Tourists interested in Amarnath Yatra can book helicopter services and ponies from here. Trekkers can also camp outside for a cozy bonfire and get-together. 
Waterfall and Thajiwas Glacier Hike: Sonamarg is surrounded by thick alpine forests, meadows, tiny villages, and breathtaking valleys. There are plenty of hiking trails to take you to Thajiwas Glacier and nearby waterfalls. 
Sports and Adventures: Tourists who love adrenaline-rushing activities may have a few options in Sonamarg, including skiing, sledding, and ice-skating on the frozen glaciers during the winter, white river rafting expedition from Baltal to Shutkari bridge, trout fishing, and river-side nature camping. Rental camping gears and equipment are available in Srinagar.

Cassandra Dimitrescu x Maiden ----Valiant pt.2
Part 1
Tumblr media
You don’t think you could catch a wink of sleep if you tried.
Your mind is just too busy to shut down. Nerves buzz across your whole body. You feel like you’re suspended in time, trapped in a loop endlessly replaying the previous night’s events. Your mistake was getting involved in affairs that didn’t concern you. In this village, that can very well be one’s undoing. You know it. You knew it.
Yet you still intervened. 
Like a fool.
If you close your eyes, you can still see her. The brunette Dimitrescu. A living painting of a woman in a background of howls and pitch-black darkness, who spoke with a lilting voice and prettily pronounced vowels –and complete disregard over human life.
Earning her amusement was the only reason you and the shopkeeper got to see another sunrise, although you have a sneaking suspicion it will be his last. Nobody disrespects a Dimitrescu and gets away with it. It may as well be law in the village –and the sentence for breaking it is very clear.
The man doesn’t remember what he did. It may be for the better, bitter as it feels to you. Either way, you try not to stare at him too much –nor the bruise on his face in the shape of your knuckles— when you enter his shop and ask for the brunette daughter’s order. It’s under the initials C.D. No name has been given and no address. He hasn’t realized who she is. Perhaps being permanently intoxicated has to do with it.
The box you receive weighs heavy in your hands, for more than one reason. Seeing it springs forth in your senses the expensive scent of her perfume, the tickle of her hair against your nose when she leaned in. Her lips were soft as a wildflower’s petals and cold as snow.
The “Thanks, sweetheart.” she said plays on repeat in your head.  
Of course, such is your luck that you couldn’t pine over any normal girl. It’s human nature, you suppose, to desire what’s forbidden, but that’s not the only adjective that describes her;
She’s lethal.
A certain part of you was aware the moment you looked into her blueish amber eyes. Like a snake being stared down by a hawk or a deer caught in the gaze of a wolf, your place in the food chain wasn’t quite the same. Part of you was –is— attracted to her beauty. Part of you was petrified.
The stories your mother told you about her family don’t help in that department. Maidens who have been taken as maids into their castle never came back. Nobody who passed that threshold ever returned. There are rumors about dungeons filled with wailing. Warnings, to avoid bloodied steps should one come across them in the forest. To fear the mark the three daughters bear on their foreheads.
Hours pass. The sun begins its descent down the plane of the sky.
You can’t help but wonder if you’ll see it rise again.
You tell your employer you aren’t feeling well and need to take the evening off. You’ve worked non-stop so many days he doesn’t get to voice anything other than a grumble of acknowledgement.
It’s… a daunting experience, being alone after sunset.
You aren’t used to it, which makes it all the more jarring when the distant howling begins. You’re sitting in your couch with the nicest button-up shirt you have on –might as well look good dying, you figure— waiting.
And waiting.
Night has completely settled in. The cold penetrates your skin. You busy yourself with lighting the fireplace, pretending not to hear the sounds from outside. The cracking of wood helps, if only for a little bit. It gets a tad warmer, though you’re still chilled to the bone.
Perhaps she won’t come. you’re beginning to think.
But then, a peculiar sound comes from the other side of your door. Like the buzzing of insects, followed by a rush of air. Followed… by a knock on the wooden surface.
Your lungs suddenly empty of oxygen. If it was possible for a heart to jump right out a person’s chest yours would be doing just that. You have to answer but you’ve lost your voice. Every instinct screams at you to stay as far away from the door as humanly possible.
“It’s me.” you hear her muffled huff.
You summon all the courage you possess to walk to the entrance –and turn the handle. The brunette Dimitrescu is standing there in all her black-clad glory, eyes gleaming in the dark like gemstones. The very edge of her lip curves up upon seeing you. You move aside to let her in and waste zero seconds in closing the door behind her.
Her hood is pushed off in one graceful motion, revealing her waterfall of rich brown hair. “It’s cold in here.” she states, then turns to you. “Aren’t you freezing?”
You are, but that’s the least of your worries. “Kind of.” you say as you hover there awkwardly.
Your breath leaves a hint of smoke behind. Hers does not. You’re moving towards the box before your nerves cause you to break down in front of her.
It’s one thing to have a pretty girl in your house for the first time.
It’s entirely another when said pretty girl can also very easily kill you.
“Eager to get rid of me, beautiful?” she asks. There is obvious teasing in her voice but also an undertone of… something else. Disappointment, maybe. Whatever it is it strikes straight at your heart.
“I—no.” you reply, quickly. “Can I offer you something to drink, uh…” you still don’t know her name.
“Cassandra.” she smirks. A name as beautiful as the rest of her.
“Can I offer you a drink, Cassandra?” The offer makes her smirk widen, almost to the point of a grin. It’s cute but you’re not sure you want to know why the question amuses her so greatly.
“Depends.” she retorts, taking off her gloves. “My choice of drink is very… singular.”
“Well, there’s wine. It’s… good.”
She eyes you for a moment. There is hunger in her gaze, something deep, as it lingers over your collarbones. Then she averts her head in favor of looking about the house. It can’t be anything like the castle she lives in, but it’s quaint, at least. Her heels click against the wooden floor. They come to a stop in front of the small table your sketchbook lies upon.
“You draw?” she questions, curious as a child.
Please, don’t look inside. you pray. The rough sketches of sheet-clad brunettes will surely give your tastes away and your heart can’t take that embarrassment on top of everything else right now.
“Landscapes and stuff. When I’m bored.” you lie to save your dignity.
“I’m a bit of an artist myself.” she grins proudly. “I paint.”
“…acrylics?” you ask.
Cassandra gives you that secretive smile again. The one that is both hot and scary at once. “You could say that, yeah.” If any of the rumors have basis in reality, you don’t want to think about what she could be painting with. Some things are best left unsaid.
“So. I got your order.” you say, taking the box in your hands.
Cassandra walks to you and takes the object between her pale fingers like it weighs nothing. You’re left staring. At her hand, then her eyes, looking into your own with that same curiosity from earlier. “I’m sure mother will like it.” Then, after a pause, “She’d like you, too.”
You’re not sure what to say to that.
“You’d look good in the castle. But then I’d have to share you and I don’t think I’d like that.” Her fingers absently toy with the hem of your shirt while she speaks. It’s terribly distracting, to the point you almost miss what she says. It’s not fair that everything about Cassandra is just so damn attractive…
You like her, you realize. You already knew that you’re weak to her looks and her grace and the way she talks, so it’s not a startling revelation. But what is surprising is the mirror of what you’re thinking in her eyes. She likes you back.
She could just turn and leave, yet she doesn’t.
Instead, she lifts her hand to your chin. Traps it between thumb and pointer… and leans in. You think she’s going to kiss you goodbye on the cheek again, like the last time. Instead, her lips find the corner of your mouth and leave you breathless.
For a heartbeat, you don’t move.
Cassandra lingers, almost unsure but unwilling to let go.
A certain part of your brain is triggered and the sense of danger and reason keeping you back evaporates. You turn your head to kiss her fully, sucking on her lower lip, running your tongue over its softness until she opens her mouth to let you in. She tastes like strawberry lipbalm and wine and oh God you’ll die right there with that little moan she gives.
You end up holding her sides and she the back of your neck until you have to pull back or you’ll melt into an aroused puddle on the floor.
She looks as dazed as you feel. Her nails dig into your skin but your warmed body only draws pleasure from the slight sting.
Cassandra’s hooded eyes drop to your throat like a woman left thirsty in the desert far too long. “…does the offer for a drink still apply?” The breathy quality her voice has taken does things to you. You can only nod and trust she won’t kill you. She did ask, so your chances are probably decent.
Brown hair tickles your nose. She’s wonderfully close, the length of her cool body pressed against yours. You can feel the swell of her breasts and the firmness of her thigh almost as if there are no clothes between you. Your body is alight, heart pounding. You want her.
“Keep still for me, beautiful.” she says with a little growl to your ear and—
Pain comes.
Sharp. Biting.
You don’t expect it. A harsh gasp leaves your throat. You can feel twin needles embedded in your skin, breaking open your vein. The corners of your eyes prickle. Something thick and wet trails down your collarbone while she swallows mouthfuls, keeping you tighter in place. It’s agonizing, at first, but the area begins to numb, then fill with a pleasant tingle.
You can’t tell when Cassandra stops drinking from you, but you feel her tongue on your neck, following the red trail down before it ruins your shirt.
Your brain can’t comprehend what just happened, yet something about it is just so raw and erotic you know you won’t be able to sleep for days without the thought of her haunting you.
“You’re delicious, darling.” she breathes, eyes brighter than before, licking her lips like a lioness.
You want to reply, but you nearly wobble on your feet. “Ugh.”
“Take it easy and dress your wound.” she smiles, fingertips tracing the slope of your jaw. “I’ll come by again, sometime.”
Your hands tighten on her sides, but she only gives a little laugh –and steps away too easily. Her hood is pulled back on. A last molten look is sent over her shoulder.
Then, your mind halts for the hundredth time that night as you watch her figure disperse into a swarm of insects and black swirls. The door closes behind Cassandra.
Your hand slowly reaches up to your neck, where the imprint of her teeth in you –her mark left on you– yet throbs.

Pain Relief (Jacob Frye x Injured! Reader) Pt. 2
Tumblr media
84 years later and I’m only now just posting this. If you don’t remember the first part, I don’t blame you, here the synopsis: 
The reader is an assassin and gets badly injured and it’s Jacob Frye who saves her.
PART 1
-
“ᴼᵖⁱᵘᵐ—ʷʰᵉʳᵉ’ˢ ᵗʰᵉ⁻“
“ˢᵗᵉᵃᵈʸ ʰᵉʳ—ᵖˡᵃᶜᵉ ʰᵉʳ ᵈᵒʷⁿ ᵗʰᵉʳᵉ—ᵐᵃᵏᵉ ˢᵘʳᵉ⁻ ᵉⁿᵒᵘᵍʰ ʷᵃᵗᵉʳ—ᵇʳⁱⁿᵍ ᵗʰᵉ ˢʸʳⁱⁿᵍᵉ.”
There was a stir within you, where you could hear the faint sounds of voices around you, too many to count when you laid in a restless place neither final nor positive you were still existing. Darkness cloaked you, enveloping you whole, with the unlimited sense of being numb that seized control of your entire body.
You didn’t bother to open your eyes, knowing that to open your eyes was to continue living, no- you weren’t quite ready for that at this moment. Let me rest. You told yourself as if resting from a deep slumber. Let me rest a bit longer.
You didn’t know how much time was passing whilst left unconscious, but the steady dripping of what sounded like water beside you seemed to be the first thing that irked you to consciousness. The steady relentless sound of what you thought was rain when you groggily came around was actually a bucket, collecting water from a leaking ceiling.
Your surroundings were neither pleasant nor unpleasant: expecting to be back on the train in your bed tucked away, you were actually tucked in the corner of a hospital bed, the creams and ugly greens were a vast contrast that made your eyes water. Your body felt light as if floating as you came around further to your senses.
Then, the pain finally kicked in.
It wasn’t the same feeling of having a bullet lodged into you, but enough to have you aware of what ordeal you had dealt with. It was a discomfort that made you grunt out in pain when you tried to shift, attempting to move or at least sit up, but the shift of a seat behind your head brought you to the awareness you were not alone.
With no weapons on you or even your blade attached to your wrist, your first thought and response were to fight whoever was there if they were a threat. Who knew, you could’ve been in the hands of the Templars, locked away with no way of escaping-”
“Y/N?”
You blinked slowly, a tentative hand was on your shoulder to bring your attention to their soft words, more astonished to see you there. “Easy there, love.”
“Jacob?” Your voice startled you yourself: weak and hoarse from not using it, not attempting again when you saw the figure of the Frye twin kneel beside you. He didn’t waste an opportunity to lean over you and engulf you into a hug as best as he was allowed without harming you, his head buried in the nook of your neck. His warmth and smell were next to engulf you, the similar feel of him made you smile, tenderly reaching a weak hand to stroke the back of his head as best as you could.
There was a shudder that wrecked through the man: noticeable even when he became silent. A silent wrack of a sob passed through him into you, your eyes widening in realisation. “Jacob… I’m here, it’s okay.”
“I thought I lost you back there,” his voice was taut, trying to steady himself. “You went cold as ice in my arms, love. I thought—you were out for four days.”
You could now gather a proper look at him: silently feeling the weight of guilt and pity that spread through your chest, hurting harder than the wound that took over your body with soreness. Jacob seemed the same, but there was not as much of a spark that was there in his hazel eyes, the shell of a man who was once lively and held feverish intent on bringing back control in London through brute strength. The bags under his eyes and gauntness to his face brought the startling revelation to you, his brown locks unkempt and unbrushed, his hat nowhere to be seen. “You… you stayed here with me?” Your voice was wracked with astonishment.
“I didn’t leave, no matter how much Evie begged me back to eat or to sleep. I told her I couldn’t… not until I knew you were awake and stable.” Your hand came to his, squeezing with a little bit more force compared to what you had assumed was the last time. “I was worried, love. I was terrified I’d lose you for good.”
The guilt was hot and immediate in your throat as you felt your eyes well with tears, threatening to spill, “I did this… I caused this strive when I was too stubborn in not waiting. Evie, Henry, you… I didn’t listen to any of you.” You looked away in shame, a single tear spilling finally. “I’m so sorry, Jacob.”
“Oh Y/N,” Jacob’s voice was the only thing to soothe you, reaching over to hold you where he sat on the edge of the bed. He soothed at your hairline carefully, tenderly, placing a sweet kiss on your brow. “I’m thankful you didn’t leave me just yet.” The laugh that came from his was raspy and made you feel warm. “I don’t think I’ll let you leave my sights.”
“No, please don’t. I think it would benefit everyone.” You joined quietly, nuzzling into his chest, feeling how he cradled you close to him, not thinking of letting you go so soon. There was a peaceful pause that fell between the two of you before Jacob seemed to hesitantly speak up. “You never allowed me to repeat it back to you, you know?”
“Repeat what back?”
“You say I have beautiful eyes but I never get the chance to tell you back?” He huskily laughs, squeezing your hip with affection. “Way to leave a gentleman on hold, love.”
Your eyes widened in realisation as you looked up to meet his gaze, “There is a time to say it now.”
“Indeed,” his hand danced along your jawline, his face leaning close to yours. “Has anyone ever told you how lovely your eyes are?”
The blush was quick to come to your face, even from realising how close his face was to yours, never once retreating. “No, you never have.”
“A few times I’ve thought of it, but I didn’t have the courage to tell you,” his voice was warm, breath fanning against your face, his scent so musky was grounding you to reality. “I guess you could say I did quite fancy you.”
“Did?”
“Well—I still do.” He confessed sheepishly. Your nervous laughter bounced back between the both of you, leaning your forehead against his. “It is a good thing I fancy you too then.”
Since awaking, Jacob’s joy seemed to spring back after being gone, not wasting time to capture your lips against his, his hand tracing your cheekbone, pulling you closer to him. You grunted from a sudden shift in your body as you tried to turn over to face him further, the assassin pulling inches away from you, the look of surprise sprinkled over his features, “Oh… I guess I couldn’t wait to do that.”
Your laughter filled the large room, voices hushed with reassuring kisses and hugs, finally feeling the relief of being in his arms once more. 
-
God, I finally finished this, who knew it would take so long?
