WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS



This posting is listed in big bold swirly letters on all Manta Boards:

AHOY! HELP WANTED. THINK YOU’VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES TO BE THE FACE OF ESCORDVI’S VERY FIRST ADVENT CALENDAR? POST YOUR GLAMOROUS PICTURES TODAY. POST THEM NOW!

A group of collaborators is looking to put together Escordvi’s very first annual advent calendar. For its inaugural year, they want to compile a collection of pictures of beautiful riftfarers to represent each month. These pictures can range anywhere from beauty shots, to thirsty body shots, to tasteful fashion poses. Anything goes!

Have your character post their own (or their friends, enemies, boyfriends, girlfriends, dogs) photos to this network post. NPCS can also be used to post photos. Then feel free to comment around on the photos with which month or season you think would suit them best. Or just comment about how much you like the photos. Who’s hot? Who’s not? Or about how horrified you are that someone posted yours! Any and all feedback is needed so they can create the best calendar ever!

At the end of the month, an advent calendar for 2025 will be created! If there are enough submissions, there will be multiple calendars so don't be shy or think you'll be left out! For ease of use, the calendar has been broken down into the four seasons so that multiple themed shots can be posted. Get posting!

PLEASE USE THE FORMATTING CODE PROVIDED IN EACH TOPLEVEL! Putting the character's name in the subject line is optional but helpful for quick reference. Any who don't follow instructions will have their comment screened so it can be edited. This is mostly to ensure images are not too large and stretching pages. Please try to crop images to best fit the code, especially long ones. The code will automatically resize images to a max width of 300px, so an image with a 3:4 or 3:5 ratio would be ideal.

Oh, nothing.

Except have you ever given any thought to being more than best friends?

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2024-12-02 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, we’re already partners in my forge. We’re pretty much together every day.

[It’s like you can hear the gears grinding.]
tilfrosset: ([20])

[personal profile] tilfrosset 2024-12-02 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
What about even more than that? A little more involved than just working partners.

[Come on, Darin, oil up those gears. She knows you can get it sooner or later.]
forgeabettertomorrow: (I don't really get it but...)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2024-12-02 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Not work partners?

I mean I guess we’re kinda like partners in every day life too. Everyday Life Partners?

I think most people call that being lovers, Darin.

Oh, be gentle with him, Jill, this may take working up to.

I am being gentle! It's not rude to state the obvious.

And yet, I think he may need smaller steps to get there.

2/???

[That does kinda sound like 'lovers.' And considering what he and Zelda have shared since Ghoul's Moon...]
forgeabettertomorrow: (I think I know where I belong)

[And he did just buy them a house. And she's moving in with him too!]

[Wow, things really have gotten pretty intimate between them, huh.]

[It's almost like they really are—]

LOVERS?!?!?! WE'RE NOT LOVERS JILL!!! WE JUST LIVE TOGETHER!!!!

And you live together too...

[Really, she has no room to speak considering how long it took for her and Clive to get it together, but at least now she's experienced enough to know to recognize a man in love with his roommate.]

All right. If you say you're not, then you're not. I really shouldn't be so forward to insist otherwise.

[But she hopes he's at least thinking more about it now that she's mentioned it.]
forgeabettertomorrow: (The things I've seen)

[Darin is just covering his face with his hands right now. Because the truth of it is, he knows they're...involved. But 'lovers' seems like such an intimate term! Nevermind the fact that he and Zelda have already shared some level of intimacy but he can't just announce that! What would Zelda think?!]

[Besides, being 'Princess Zelda's lover' seems so scandalous and...lofty?? HE'S JUST SOME BLACKSMITH!!]

[But...wait, would Zelda consider them lovers? Should he ask? Oh gods what if that makes her uncomfortable??? Aren't you supposed to date before you become lovers?? They've gone on like one date!!]

[Oh gods what has he done, he's besmirched the virtues of a princess. This is all wrong, he has to do something.]

[He has to ask Princess Zelda out on a date.]

[But he also needs to respond to Jill lest he look guilty. No one can suspect a thing.]
forgeabettertomorrow: (this Lance guy sounds alright)

Nah its cool. Mistakes happen right? And yeah we live together no big deal

Its not like I bought a house with that in mind or anything.


[Nailed it.]

Did you need someone to do interior design work for that house that definitely doesn't have a specific sense of domesticity to it?
forgeabettertomorrow: (Just Say Run Goes WIth Everything?)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2024-12-02 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Design work? Like that?
tilfrosset: ([84])

[personal profile] tilfrosset 2024-12-02 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
So you bought a house without thinking about who was going to live there?

[Now she's just nitpicking to tease him. He makes it so easy!]
forgeabettertomorrow: (Ehehehe well...)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2024-12-02 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Well I was gonna live there! Honestly, the idea of ever having a home of my own seemed kind foreign to me.

I was adopted and the man who took me in was as much of a father to me as my birth father. But I had to leave home because

Well its a really long story.

When I washed up here I honestly believed I didnt need a home. That Id be fine in whatever apartment I was allowed to rent

But she made me want to have more for myself
