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.

QUICK LINKS: SPRING 🌻 SUMMER ☀️ AUTUMN 🍂 WINTER ❄️

This is only the start of it but I dont think I have enough space to really cut loose

Besides that would take away from the photo

Have you told her this in person? I think Zelda would like to hear it.

[just tell her bro]

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2024-12-02 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I tell her all the time

Maybe I should ask to make sure

Well, a second opinion wouldn't hurt. Something that seems obvious to you might not be to others, especially if your thoughts are clouded.

[And, you know, vice versa. Especially that.]
forgeabettertomorrow: (eyyyyyy this guuuuuy)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2024-12-03 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Well how about you? Youre her friend right??

Why do you think she should be on this calendar thing??

Well, Zelda is quite pretty. I think that's reason enough.

Summer would be fitting for her too, I think. And spring. Whenever she smiles it lights up the room, and when she laughs it reminds me of a light breeze in a garden. One of the gentle ones that's just enough to stir the flowers.


[that's gay, Miriam]

[So gay]

SEE SOMEONE ELSE GETS IT

I had a hard time settling on a season. Because my first thought is spring because of her love of flowers and how she makes you feel like you're coming out of a long dark winter.

Then I thought summer because shes so beautiful and radiant that she makes me feel warm just being around her.

But I settled on autumn because thats my favorite time of year. Its when everyone back home would have harvest festivals and thered be a lot of joy and fun times. And ultimately, that's what she reminds me of.

She's home.

[what the fuck Darin this is adorable]

That's very touching. It really is. A home's importance really can't be overstated, can it?

Its true and its something I never thought Id have

Then I met her!

She almost drowned me when we met you know

Oh, dear.

It hasn't seemed to dampen your enthusiasm any.


[miriam, please]

I also met her under less than dignified circumstances; I'd been pelted in the face with potatoes.

[The cursed eldritch variety which were also trying to strangle her but she doesn't want to mention that and harsh the vibe, man]
forgeabettertomorrow: (No more doubt no more regret)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2024-12-05 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Did she try and shield you from them or use magic to send the potatoes back to whatever was throwing them?
crystalrepose: (04)

[personal profile] crystalrepose 2024-12-05 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
The latter. And she's been discreet about it, which I appreciate. It's a bit embarrassing.

["Choked by cursed potato" would be a terrible epitaph.]
forgeabettertomorrow: (Ehehehe well...)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2024-12-06 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
That sure sounds like her.

Shes really something special. I kinda wish she was from my world. She probably would have gotten me through a lot of really terrible encounters with the people there

[oof]

I'm sorry to hear that people were cruel to you, before.

[She doesn't say "back home"; home was a loaded phrase for an orphan, and that didn't sound like much of one.]

But it sounds like you've found a better place here.
forgeabettertomorrow: (I don't really get it but...)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2024-12-06 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Its okay. Im not bitter or anything. I just try to be better.

And yeah its weird. Ive never had friends or anything before. I really like it here.
