Buttercups and Golden Flowers
#i drew this mostly because i noticed that a lot of people mistake buttercups and golden flowers as being the same thing.#so i wanted to try drawing them like. distinctly different in the same image.#it's not a big thing but i do think the fact that they're different has some significance. or at least like. symbolic meaning.#my art#undertale#chara#chara dreemurr#safeutdr#something about the fact that they both look similar at least in color but one of them is poisonous.#the way golden flowers are clearly a positive symbol throughout the game and clearly heavily associated with Chara.#contrasted with the very negative connotations buttercups have. with asgore getting sick and chara using them in their plan.#you never see buttercups in the game. which makes it even easier to mistake the two. because we've only seen one kind of#golden/yellow flower. who's to say 'golden flowers' aren't just referring to buttercups? well.#why would there be golden flower tea if they were poisonous? why would chara want to see the golden flowers from their village if they're#the same kind of flower? they clearly have buttercups in the underground.#it feels almost intentional the way golden flowers are so easily mistaken for buttercups. or at least that the difference is so subtle.#it goes well with the way they're associated so strongly with chara who's also a very subtle yet important part of the narrative.#from a surface-level perspective the flowers that took their life and the one's they actually like/are important to them are the same thing#but when you pay closer attention to the narrative you can see the different symbolic meanings.#well. uhh I've thought about it too much don't mind me.#see i think about it from the perspective of chara being super adamant about them being two different flowers#and frustrated when anybody gets it wrong. because clearly. CLEARLY they're not the same.#'STOP confusing buttercups and golden flowers. i literally used buttercups to kill myself do you think i would still like them after that?'#'do you think i want to be associated with them? they're not the same!!'#<number one golden flower enjoyer number one buttercup hater.#i need a badge that says 'i have strong opinions about chara dreemurr because i kin them. i apologize for the wall of text' at this rate.

For today’s video, I give you one of the longest standing Christmas Extravaganza traditions: The Virgin Mary and The Virgin Mary Dancers cheering up Santa with their burlesque rendition of “Santa Baby” feat. Sabels, Suspenders, and Stripping. The ‘Nice List’ always was overrated, anyway. Choreo by @cogrobs, Costumes by @bren_bash

A3! OCs - Relationships
aight here's another one
Yasu
gets along well with Massu (if "vibing in the same space without interacting much but enjoying it" counts as getting along)
likes reading with Muku and talking about what they've both read
literally cannot escape being Banri's kouhai, first at Hana High and then at Amabi (it's even worse since they're technically majoring in the same thing), he's very intimidated by him
once he gets into Veludo Arts, he starts trusting Kazu a lot, he likes working around him and is slowly learning about how he can trust him
finds Guy's presence comforting and goes to him whenever there's something he can't understand about people
Clubs/Link Skill Groups: Shoujo Manga Club
Etsuko
she really admires Chikage and Hiso both, and she holds Chikage as a role model (it goes as well as you'd imagine)
adores Yuki and often consults him about clothes, sometimes they quietly work together, sometimes she just listens to him rant , sometimes they bitch together
likes being around Sakuya, even if she can't completely open up to him, she feels like she won't be judged around him, she'd kill for him (whether that's an exaggeration is up for interpretation)
often talks to Taichi about girls and trends when she needs to de-stress
Clubs/Link Skill Groups: Lone Wolves + Sweet Tooths
Castel
good friends with Banri, but never leave the two of them on their own (they'll either get into a nasty fight or get into trouble together)
classmates + study buddies with Tsuzuru
Juza's senpai (no i will never live down the fact that Juza is canonically studying literature in uni)
Stray cat lover with Sumi, Hiso and Muku,
Enjoys Kazu's presence a lot, he helps them get out of their shell very naturally
They get along really well with Tetsuro and Akashi, they work very well as a team even with little to no verbal communication
Clubs/Link Skill Groups: Spicy Food Society
Eli
Ex-delinquent buddies with Omi; he knows Omi's healed more than he has, but he still feels like he has to take care of him and help him
Looks up to Sakyo because he thinks he's put together, and he can see how much he cares for everyone at the company (also they share their incapacity to DO SOMETHING TO FURTHER THE RS WITH THE ONE THEY LOVE smh)
He often talks to Homare about poetry and their fave authors (also sometimes shares what he's written with him)
feels paternalistic towards a lot of the younger actors, but mostly Massu and Tenma
Clubs/Link Skill Groups: Ex-gangsters + Artistes
Masami
since she hasn't become that close to the company, she doesn't have many relationships but
She's really really thankful towards Izumi for taking care of Yasu
Looks up to Sakyo and hopes one day she can have the guts to show up and face what she gave up on life like he did
Occasionally talks to Kazu and Juza, looks up to them as big siblings, and is very thankful for Kazu looking out for Yasu at uni
Daiki
Tsuzuru and Juza's (and Castel's) professor, so it's awkward for those two whenever he stops by Mankai
Azuma's drinking buddy + former occasional client
Finds Citron really fun and interesting, loves to hear his stories
Homare and this man vibe together like they've known each other their whole lives, they have conversations than only the two of them can follow, absolute best friends, also huge appreciators of the arts together
He actually knew Tadoru before Mankai formed, they're casual friends
Clubs/Link Skill Groups: Literary Club + Frequent Flyers

PLEASEEEE tell me about the symbolism in your drawing Oh i am dying to know
HII why thank you for asking!! I'll try my best to answer concisely but Tl;dr I'm not normal about either cwilbur or flower symbolism :) it also must be noted that a lot of my decisions are entirely based on my personal cultural experience so I hope if anything you find it interesting.
For an overview, The peice is inspired by art nouveau, namely alphonse mucha and henri privat livemont, and is mostly based on this hamlet production poster by the former. The composition however is not based on said illustration, and is slightly inspired in part by stained glass and fences of the movement. The clothing cwilbur is wearing is from the edwardian period, if I've got my references correct it's earlier in the period, though not any year in particular. It differs drastically in the fact that the colors are very vibrant (I can't help putting cwil in shades of red, ho16 permanently changed my brain chemistry), and that the Cape part of the inverness cape is entirely too short. Otherwise I've attempted to keep the general silhouette accurate.
Now the plant symbolism:
First: Arabian jasmine (which fun fact are not actually the same as the 4 petal vine yasmine, has a different name, Full (فل), and they grow on shrubs) and the Damascus rose go together because of two reasons: 1) i didn't know other flowers to put there and 2) they're very closely tied in my brain. If you try to find their symbolism you'll find a lot of things about beauty and purity, as is common with any white flower or rose, but my reasoning differs. Without going into too much detail, I intended for them to symbolise community and belonging.
Daffodils (the ones depicted are the ones most common in my region, they may not resemble the expectations but they are indeed daffodils) mean death rebirth and hope, its a flower i generally associate with cwil. Same meaning goes for the white lilies. And poppies have a heavy association with war and generally symbolise remeberance and hope for peace, and thus, l'manberg association.
The next five are flowers that represnt certain characters strictly based on cwilbur's preception of them, but they can be applied to others as well, i just thought these were most important:
Freesia: especially when yellow, usually means thoughtfulness, trust and friendship. represents cranboo.
Orange/tiger lilly: pride, hatred, status, tenacity.  Cquackity
Lilly of the valley: cmon we all know this one, ctommy
Boat orchid: virtue and morality, a gesture of respect and friendship. Ctubbo
Gladiolus: diminutive of gladius(sword); strength of character, moral integrity and rememberance. ctechno
pomegranate tree and fruit: pomegranates have a very different connotation in Western media, from what I can glean, as opposed to what I'm used to them being perceived as (I won't derail this but I can elaborate if needed). In short, I've chosen to take advantage of this double meaning and so its here to represent life death and resurrection while the tree is for family and home.
On a side note, I was originally going to do night blooming jasmine (مسك الليل) but it wasn't working, the symbolism of it however still stand: its a flower many love and think smells amazing, but rarely do they actually want the burden of having it in their own yards because of how deathly strong it smells. I was intending on using it to symbolise the complicated nature of cwilbur's relationship with the important people in his life.
And finally, the olive tree: aside from its meanings of peace and friendship, olive trees also mean olive oil which is a product with many healing properties that is not too easy to make and requires a lot of work. i chose it to mean healing and the process thereof.
So yeah that's it, hope it's up to expectation and thanks for the interest means a lot to me <33

Moiraine Damodred: a playlist
Geyser (Mitski): Moiraine POV
Paprika (Japanese Breakfast): Moiraine POV
Hebridean Sun (Vashti Bunyan): Moiraine POV
Long & Lost (Florence + the Machine): Moiraine POV
Some things Cosmic (Angel Olson): Moiraine POV
Goodbye, My Danish Sweetheart (Mitski): Moiraine POV
Francesca (Hozier): Lan POV
I'd Like to Walk Around in Your Mind (Vashti Bunyan): Moiraine POV
Explanations under the cut:
Geyser:
You're my number one
You're the one I want
And you've turned down
Every hand that has beckoned me to come
and
But I will be the one you need
The way I can't be without you
I will be the one you need
I just can't be without you
This is first on the list, and iirc Mitski wrote it about the unstoppable pull she feels toward her craft. In the same vein, I interpret this as an ode to Moiraine's mission, her reason for living, her guiding light.
Paprika:
Lucidity came slowly
I awoke from dreams of untying a great knot
It unraveled like a braid
Into what seemed were
Thousands of separate strands of fishing line
and
How's it feel to be at the center of magic
To linger in tones and words?
I opened the floodgates
And found no water, no current, no river, no rush
How's it feel to stand at the height of your powers
To captivate every heart?
This is just how I imagine it feels for Aes Sedai to hold Saidar. Also, the imagery at the beginning is so evocative and so relevant.
Hebridean Sun:
Traveling towards a Hebridean sun
To build a white tower in our heads begun
The grass knows, the hills know, we all know
Spring has come, the good fountain flows.
Each hoof fall brings us nearer the land
Of peat and seabirds and silver sand.
I've included almost every lyric in the song. I think the first book in the series begins at springtime/Bel Tine so I like to imagine that it's the journey that Mo/Lan/EF5 begin toward Tar Valon, or maybe just a song for Mo & Lan's travels. The White Tower reference is almost too good. Also, I headcanon Cairhien as having a really unique musical tradition, replete with microtones and lyrics that are akin to poetry.
Long & Lost:
Is it too late to come on home?
Are all those bridges now old stone?
Is it too late to come on home?
Can the city forgive? I hear its sad song.
Every time Moiraine returns to Tar Valon, a city built entirely of dusty stone, it has been years (if not decades). This song simultaneously evokes nostalgia, homesickness, and the awful, underlying knowledge that the city is home no longer.
Some things Cosmic:
Before we draw
My dear, dear friend
I promise you my word
If we should part
My dear, dear love
You know you're in my heart
and
If cosmic force is real at all
It's come between you and I
I want to be naked
I don't mean my body
I don't need my body
I mean, of course Moiraine believes in cosmic force. Fate has separated her from everyone she has ever loved. I thought of this song for when she masks the bond with Lan, leaving him in Fal Dara and taking Rand to the Eye of the World. She wants the bond back as much as Lan does. The moody vocals and dreamy (nightmarish?) atmosphere are also very good for the Blight (the wall of thorns from Sleeping Beauty had to have been an influence. Right?) The end of the song speaks to the nature of a bond (shared vulnerability, a nakedness that doesn't involve the body) as well as Moiraine's conviction re: her imminent death at the Eye. Also, I just love that this song is addressed to a friend. Platonic soulmates 5ever.
Goodbye, My Danish Sweetheart:
There's nobody better than you
It took me a while 'til I knew
But you knew from the start it was us, didn't you?
It just took me a while 'til I knew
and
So, I don't blame you
If you want to bury me in your memory
I'm not the girl I ought to be
and
There's some kind of burning inside me
It's kept me from falling apart
And I'm sure that you've seen what it's done to my heart
But it's kept me from falling apart
That last stanza^ is The Mission, but more importantly, the strangeness of that beginning riff absolutely screams "massive breakdown." So I headcanon this song as what goes through Moiraine's head as she executes mental gymnastics convincing herself that Lan needs to get away from her as quickly as possible, by any means necessary (post 1x08). Also, we know that Moiraine considers Lan to be her better.
Francesca:
Do you think I'd give up
That this might've shook the love from me
Or that I was on the brink?
How could you think, darling, I'd scare so easily?
and
Now that it's done
There's not one thing that I would change
My life was a storm, since I was born
How could I fear any hurricane?
If someone asked me at the end
I'll tell them put me back in it
Darling, I would do it again,
If I could hold you for a minute
Darling, I'd go through it again
and
It was too soon
When that part of you was ripped away
This is almost self-explanatory, but I'm going to explain it because I am so in love with this song for Mo and Lan. It captures Lan's selflessness, his deep love, and his unshakable willingness to support her. There is a reference in the song to a traumatic event befalling the object of the singer's affection, and it can be read as directly paralleling what happened to Moiraine. Finally, the lyrics allude to someone's choice across lives to come back for the person they love, which is totally breathtaking (and relevant to the worldbuilding in WOT).
I'd Like to Walk Around in Your Mind:
I'd like to walk around in your mind someday
I'd like to walk all over the things you say to me
I'd like to run and jump on your solitude
I'd like to rearrange your attitude to me
and
I would disturb your easy tranquility
I'd turn away the sad impossibility of your smile
and
I'd sit there in the sun of the things I like about you
I'd sing my songs and find out just what they mean to you.
This is the song that bites at my heart. It is so lovely, and I wanted to end the playlist on a hopeful note. This is for the stretch of time during which Mo and Lan are walking on the beach together (right before Lan asks for the bond back). Something that took me a second to realize is that Moiraine wants the bond back as desperately as he does. This song is about that. She knows he is still wary around her after the way she treated him, and that breaks her heart. She misses knowing what he was thinking and feeling without having to ask. The line that really does me in, though, is the one that refers to the warmth of the things the singer likes about their beloved. That she imagines them filling their partners' mind like sunlight. The warmth and love between these two characters, the profundity of their shared understanding--it's exquisite. I'm tearing up at the very thought of it.

so ya i don’t play genshin actively, don’t actually really like the game aside from characters/lore, and i am not fond of the community (not necessarily the people in it tho! i love mutuals/friends/nice ppl :>), n other reasons but ^^;;
i don’t plan on fully quitting it bcs i still like the characters i think ?? but i’d rather. not be associated (or whatever the word for it was) as a Genshin Impact fan. and as someone super in Genshinblr or in the fandom bcs ;; it rlly isn’t a huge passion of mine and not even one of my favorite medias/games >_< so yeah!! just a small announcement of my actual feelings :> i just don’t want to force myself anymore to sort of put up this kind of “facade” that i’m 100% one of y’all ... if that makes sense

It's so interesting playing p5r and watching Haru's social link... in discacc, I kinda gloss over most of the social links, bc theyre largely the same as in the game, but with her... I'm gonna have to really pick apart how her friendship with Akira develops lol. Bc of how things have been set up, their friendship will be fundamentally different from how things are in the game... they CAN be friends, I just... need to smooth some things out first...
#speculation nation#discacc shit#the biggest difference i think is the way that makoto already exists for discacc haru as The Confidant#in p5 haru's friendship with akira is largely based on him being a pillar of support for her after her father dies#it's not quite the same. but for discacc haru she's going to automatically turn towards makoto for this kind of thing#additionally. there's the whole deal with goro lmfao#while akira's (kinda) called goro out for it. a little bit. the fact remains that his boyfriend has been a piece of shit to haru#and akira could definitely do more about it. and he will! but he hasnt yet.#so yes he's only been kind to haru. and haru's grateful to him for keeping her needs in mind.#but he's still willingly associating with someone who she just. Does Not Like.#not only is goro a complete asshole. but he's also Uhhh a murderer lmfao. & even with the circumstances haru cant understand why#everyone else seems so okay with that fact.#it's complex. and once she's got more of a chance to get to know goro herself she'll understand more.#but she's starting off with such a bitter impression of goro and By Extension akira.#her friendship with akira just Cant be the same. so i have to uhh figure that out lol.#i know where i want it to go. i think they can bond quite well over mutual interest in plants + coffee.#just gotta Uhhh deal with the baggage first lol#ive got my plans tho. gonna start putting them into place uhhhh. well. chapter 43 ish.#depending on if i do the giant 41 chapter or manage to make it into 41 with 42 being the anniversary chapter.#if i do that then it'll be 43. where i start putting some plans in place.#in the meantime. i just gotta sit goro down and tell him to not be TOO much of an asshole lmfao
