So... yep! That happened! Though right now it's more 'engaged to be engaged', it's definitely happening November 23rd... sometime! Probably not for another four years, maybe longer, maybe shorter, but there you go. :) -

Couple of minor SPaG corrections. . . by

I mean, CONGRATULATIONS!!! Wow!
But also, I do mean minor SPaG corrections (this still counts as a PPC story, right? It's still supposed to be reviewed, right?
In the post:
you will find moment between Lady Iximaz and Aegis? A moment, perhaps? Or did you mean "moment" in the Elizabethan sense of "importance"(e.x. Hamlet III.i.94)? It's a little grammatically iffy, but in the over-dramatic faux-medieval way that Plort often is.
In the story:
Aegis sheathed his own blade, saying “Something from the kitchens, then. Based on your placement of punctuation with regard to quotation marks, I am assuming that you use United States SPaG conventions. To be consistent, there should be a comma after "saying."
She squeezed his fingers in silent reassurance, and together, they set off for the keep. If I'm understanding the Purdue OWL correctly, there should be another comma before "together" because the word is nonessential to the clause (in that you could have put it on the end of the sentence or left it out and the sentence would still be coherent, not because I think your being "together" isn't important! ^.^). I'm not terribly sure about this, so if anyone wants to discuss it that would be appreciated.
Non-SPaG-related concerns:
You two are far too cute together. D'awww and congratulations again.
--Key is procrastinating on writing an essay, but also genuinely happy for you two. -

Would you mind drawing up some heraldry for me, and making an impalement of my coat of arms and Ix's?
I heard you were the one making the Plort heraldry, and I was hoping I could get a set for myself. Impaling them seemed like a good way to celebrate recent events, despite the strangely violent nature of some English heraldic terminology.
I don't think Ix would mind sending you my email, if making a set wouldn't be too much trouble. -
Sure, I can do that. by

Did you have a design in mind? Because all your username has me thinking of is a Gorgon's head, which may not be quite the feel you're going for...

Baron Huinersoron I would like to request an Alvish Heraldry by
on 2016-10-09 16:19:00 UTC
Reply
My Alvish is a bit rusty, but here is the general idea:
Nis Blue, Rena Celeste: Canta nastar alta tera, Sword with celeste handguard; canta nastar nica, Golden obelisk; canta miri, Sun in splendor; canta miri, the gem ruby; indil in fore, a twelve point snowflake -
Fantastic! by

Firstly, thanks very much.
As to the design, as much as I enjoy ELO's "Turn to Stone," I do have something apart from a gorgon's head in mind.
The blazon I made for the sets, which probably errs in a few respects, is as follows.
English- Sable, chief argent, wolf sejant argent, above key or, thistle proper above thistle proper inverted, thistle proper above thistle proper inverted.
Beleriand- Nis black, Rena silver, canta nastar alta tera golden spikes, canta miri silver stars, indil in back royal blue circle touching edges of the rena, indil in fore the moon.
Just to be sure I've described them correctly, here's a rough outline of what I have in mind:

Ner black, rena silver: canta nastar alta tera, golden spikes; canta miri, silver stars; indil in fore, the full moon; indil in back, royal blue circle, filling the field.
Sometimes it's nice to do a relatively simple+geometric Alvish design. This has definite shades of Gil-Galad and Thingol.
I'm actually quite pleased with the impalement; the silver leaf-tips filling in for the stars is my favourite part.

Sable, a chief enhanced argent, a wolf sejant argent between thistles proper, a key Or between thistles inverted proper.
I've simplified the blazon slightly with strategic use of 'between'. The chief is enhanced, which weirdly means 'shrunk'. And the key just so happens to display a pair of joined hearts... ;)
Now here, I've just plain cheated. Splitting the arms down the middle wouldn't have worked, and there's a lot of stuff on both shields that would reject being compressed into half the space. So I went with a vertical impalement.
Interesting facts I learned today:
-If I had done the impalement properly, it would be reversed from the normal: the standard is for the left side (from the viewer's perspective) to be the male shield, the 'shield of most honour'. In this case, however, Lady Iximaz is a baron, and absolutely gets that spot.
-Unrelated but charming, in 2014 the College of Arms issues rules on how to impale the arms of same-sex couples. ^_^ (They each get a shield with their own arms in the position of honour, and their spouse's on the other side. Unless you're a woman marrying a heraldic heiress, in which case you're just a pain in the neck, aren't you? But they still have rules for you.)

Thank you. That's even better than I was hoping- I'm really, very, extremely (continues in that vein for longer than is strictly polite) pleased with it.
Two hearts on the key? Now you point it out, I can't picture the heraldry of Doktaru any differently. That's beautiful.
(Ix- why am I not surprised both of ours rejected being fit into half the space?) -
Now, here's my thoughts on this... by
on 2016-10-02 22:29:00 UTC
Reply
And before you ask, this is based on a fandom Ix and I share, but it may not apply to you, Aegis.
See, in noted superhero web novel Worm, there is a cape called Aegis with hyper-redundant physiology - dozens of hearts, huge amounts of muscle tissue, multiple sets of lungs and brains and kidneys, all that good stuff. This leads me to the following idea for Aegis' own arms...
Sable, a fess vert, two hearts proper flammant or, one and one
And thus one might impale Ix's arms accordingly. =] -
That's clever, actually. by
on 2016-10-02 23:37:00 UTC

The thing is, while I love the Worm serial, I'm not a fan of Aegis as a character. Nothing against him, unless you count finding him a bit dull (I'm more of a fan of Tattletale, Bakuda, and Coil- Thinkers, especially).
I like the idea of two hearts emblazoned, but I wanted to go with something I related to with my crest.
(Basically, I liked what I'd drawn up, so I went with it. That said, what you described sounds awesome, and I almost wish I'd thought of it.) -

....at a cosplay ball at college back on Saint Patrick's Day. He was dressed up as the Tenth Doctor, so of course I had to go tell him I liked his costume. We ended up spending three hours discussing the show and exchanged contact information at the end of the night so we could keep in touch, and I asked him out a few days later.
