Opals and Moonstones
AKA Smol Once Again Uses Birthstones And Birth Flowers To Do Character Analysis. This time we have a twofer, as we'll be looking at Nishiki AND Kiryu! (with a bonus Yumi!) (this is gonna be another long one so please do check out under the cut)
Let's start with Nishikiyama.
His birth date is October 8th, 1968, leaving him with the birthstones opal and tourmaline (originally specifically pink tourmaline but now includes all types).
Now, apparently, tourmaline is the modern birthstone for October, and was made so in 1952 with the approval of the American Gem Society and the National Retail Jewellers Council. I will expand on this stone in another post, because it's the opals I really want to focus on (although it's worth noting that both stones are apparently good for emotional stabilisation, grounding, and healing. :) )
You see, the reason they threw in pink tourmaline as new birthstone is apparently because "In October’s case, the opal was seen by many to be too feminine in appearance and there were questions about its durability". Opals are a very delicate stone, with a water content of 5-10%, which leaves them very vulnerable to cracking under very dry conditions or sudden changes in temperatures. It can even cause them to shrink or expand, so they need a bit more care and maintenance (although you can apparently improve them by wetting them with a lil bit of water, which, idk, I find that fun because fish live in water, 'nishiki' is a koi, you get me?)
We all saw how Nishiki handled suddenly having most of his family and support network ripped from him plus the added pressure of running a new family full of people who very openly disrespect him and see him as some useless weakling they're all obligated to deal with. I'm not the only one who sees the opal parallels, right?
So, opals are a soft, feminine, easily damaged stone, but they also represent love, passion, luck, and healing, and associated with channelling strong emotions. In Roman times it was called the Cupid Stone, and was well-sought after, so overall has a lot of positive meanings and connotations...until a random-ass novel accidentally lead to them being considered bad luck. How dandy.
Now, Kiryu. And by extension, Yumi.
Kiryu's birth date is June 17th, 1968, and Yumi's is June 30th, 1971. (I find it very amusing that Kiryu forgot about Yumi's birthday when it's only a couple of weeks after his lmao)
This means that these lucky ducks actually get three birthstones: alexandrite, pearl, and moonstone.
Alexandrite apparently brings luck, intellect, and prosperity, somewhat similar to tourmaline (it can even be a similar colour to it). Pearls on the other hand symbolise wisdom, especially wisdom gained through experience, as well as calmness, integrity, and loyalty.
I think this is very fitting for our favourite dragon, isn't it? A man whose experiences help him grow from a naive kid into a man who stands by his principles and does whatever he can to help and protect his loved ones althoughitcanbearguedhowmuchhelearnsbutthatsapostforanotherday
But again, there's a particular stone I want to look at, which is of course the moonstone.
It's another stone associated with good luck and fortune, apparently considered sacred in India. It's also a stone of new beginnings and inner growth and strength. Again, fitting for Kiryu's return to Kamurocho after 10 years in the joi- behind bars. However, the reason it interests me is its connections and similarities with opals.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
See, at first thought/glance, the two stones are very similar. They're (usually) a white colour but reflect an entire rainbow. And yet, they do so differently; moonstones has what's called 'adularescence', a faint glow akin to the moon shining on the ocean's surface, whereas opals are, naturally, 'opalescent', which is more glittering specks of colour.
Both stones are associated, of course, with the moon and the ocean (as are pearls). Both are considered good-luck charms, are meant to ground emotions, and are associated with femininity. Like, look at this:
Tumblr media
Doesn't this sum them up? They're similar but different; Kiryu's calmer, grounding presence combined with Nishiki's more emotional, passionate nature. No wonder the two of them make such a great team!!!
And then I saw this:
Tumblr media
:)))))))
It's just....if we keep up with the birthstone imagery/parallels, this means that the two people Nishiki loves the most are 'spiritually' incompatible. That, and the fact that opals are "softer and more easily damaged compared to moonstone" (see how Kiryu handles adversity vs Nishiki handling his struggles). Yknow despite this long-ass post I really don't know quite how to articulate what I'm trying to say, but I'm hoping you see what I mean?
The two men need each other and are stronger together however this strength is so amplified that when the two are separated Nishiki looks so much weaker in comparison, at least in others eyes. He cries, he gets overwhelmed, he lashes out and yells when he's angry, he makes his emotions known. He cares so much about image and how he presents himself to the world, but he has the bad luck of being next to a man with freakish levels of raw brute strength and a naturally stoic outward appearance that he just isn't as impressive in comparison, even though he's NOT unimpressive or incapable! I'm pretty sure that of the two, Nishiki actually knows what the fuck he's doing!
And that's the thing, people think Nishiki is nothing without Kiryu, himself included, but what is Kiryu without Nishiki? The man loves his brother, and I think he's the only one who seems to have an inkling of Nishiki's worth. The two banter and he's like "oh, like you know so much" about being a yakuza and how one should act, but I do think Kiryu trust Nishiki. He goes along with what he says for the most part because he 'knows' that Nishiki knows what he's talking about. He looks up to Nishiki. He sacrificed his freedom to protect him. After those 10 years he wanted to see his brother again.
Unfortunately, a lot changed in those 10 years. The opal cracked under the pressure. Its power and influence grew but its sense of self and stability shrank, leaving it both far too big and far, far too small for its setting. All it needed was a bit maintenance, a bit of care. But it didn't receive that. And instead, the moonstone ended up alone.

Lady of October by Angela R. Sasser
10x20 inches, watercolor and ink with 23k gold leaf accents. Prints and Products.
The Lady of October bears the Marigolds and dons the stone of Opal. The Marigold represents warmth and creativity. The Opal will bring her clarity and protection from illness. She ushers in a time of darkness and a promise of peace for the lost.
While the other Ladies of the Months do their best to guide and protect the spirits of mortals, the Lady of October wanders in their between-spaces. In this season of mists where the veil grows thin, many spirits become lost. She draws them to herself with the strong scent of marigolds, the offering of candles and flowers guiding her way to them.
One need never fear the dark before the Winter, for she will always be there with a warm embrace to guide the lost back to the light.
This is the FINAL Lady in the series, making the entire set complete!  This won’t be the last you’ll see of the Ladies, however.  I have some big plans ahead, including the calendar, art book, coloring book, etc.  This end is only a beginning!

I drew White for Specord’s Special Gala! It was such an honor to organize this event for everyone! The theme this year was “Date of Birth”... and White’s birthday is on October 5th!
She is directly matching with Black, who was designed by @hanamits! 
You can find Black’s piece at this link! A description of their designs can be found below:
Since Black and White were born three days apart, we decided to theme their outfits together! October’s birthstone, the opal, comes in a variety of colors - this includes the black opal and white opal. Black is primarily wearing black, while White is primarily wearing white. However, Blacks crown and sword incorporate use of the white opal, while White’s crown and outfit incorporate use of the black opal. As for tourmaline, October’s second birthstone, three can be found on White’s armor and staff. 
The golden flames on both Black and White’s outfits represent Lampent, the Pokemon Zodiac for October. There is also a little Lampent engraved into White’s armor, while Black’s cape has a Lampent clasp. 
Black and White have matching scale earrings, as they are Libras. Since they’re air signs, both of their outfits are loosely themed after angels. Finally, Marigolds, October’s birth flower, can be found on Black’s cape and White’s staff. They each have a marigold painted on their cheek as well.

Step by step instructions to Pick Perfect Flowers According To Occasions
Life is wonderful. There're such a great amount in life to appreciate and celebrate – birth of a child, graduation, wedding, commemoration, Valentine's day, Mother's day and Christmas. Blossoms are adored by the two people for their magnificence, immaculateness and freshness.
Tumblr media
Valentine's blooms are about adoration and enthusiasm on the off chance that you pick roses. Think about a sunflower for the individual in your life. The significance of this http://www.cheapflowersdelivered.org.uk/ present Valentine's Day rose is deference. Your unique somebody will feel venerated by all of you day long. What about a For-get-me not? This bloom implies genuine romance. You couldn't state it any better. A tulip allowed on Valentine's Day has an importance of the ideal darling. Presently that is an ideal compliment.
The importance of mother's day blooms is said best with pink carnations as these blossoms state, "I will always remember you" and they speak to a mother's adoration. While carnations are a well known decision for mother on her extraordinary day, they are not by any means the only decision. Consider your mother and what she prefers. The importance of mother's day blossoms is to indicate mother that you removed time from your day to consider her so pick bloom courses of action that suit her best.
Christmas rose presents have uncommon implications for Christmas festivity. In an anecdote about the introduction of Jesus Christ, it was blossoms from two minimal poor kids that outshone every one of the endowments that three insightful men had brought for Him.
Birthday blooms are picked by various months of the year, much like birthstones. January is the snowdrop and carnation; February the primrose and violet; March the violet and jonquil; April blossoms are the daisy and sweet pea; May speaks to lily of the valley and hawthorn; June is the rose and honeysuckle; July the water lily and larkspur; August speaks to the gladiolus and poppy; September the Morning Glory and Aster; October the Marigold; November, chrysanthemum; and December birthday's the Poinsettia and Holly. Keep in mind, the month to month manual for blossoms gives a premise to selecting blooms for a man or a lady, however different blossoms are suitable also relying upon whether you are getting them for a relative or the adoration for your life.
Wedding brings ought to be picked agreeing down to the lady of the hour and husband to be inclinations, shade of the lady and bridesmaids' dresses, church and gathering spots, and adhering to the adornment topic, assuming any. Another point to consider is the season on the grounds that most botanical assortments are effectively discovered all year, however regular blossoms are less expensive and simpler to discover. Crisp blossoms are the most reasonable alternative with regards to arranging the big day, yet a couple of ladies lean toward dried blooms or fake ones made of silk.

BIRTHDAY SYMBOLISM
Tumblr media
TAGGED BY  •  Stole it from myself on @ritahanson​ TAGGING  •  Anyone who hasn’t done this who would like to!
STRAT’S BIRTHDAY  •  October 21st 2057.
Popping this under a read more due to length!
BIRTHSTONE  •  Opal - The Gem of Brilliance and Mystery
Opals have a very long history and there are many myths pertaining to the stone. In medieval times, all blond maidens wanted a necklace made of opals, as this was considered an absolute guarantee to prevent their hair from fading or darkening. The opal was also thought to make a person invisible whenever he wished. Opal amplifies traits, whether those traits are good or bad, and brings characteristics to the surface for transformation. It enhances self worth, confidence and self-esteem, and helps you to understand your full potential. Opals have been said to be extremely beneficial in many physical realms as well, such as in treating infections and fevers. It is also said to help strengthen the memory.
BIRTH FLOWER  •  Marigold 
Marigold is a fall flowering plant famous for its bright yellow and orange hues. Marigold is named for "Mary’s Gold", as the flowers were "golden gifts" presented to Virgin Mary by the poor who couldn’t give actual gold. Marigold dipped in wine has been used to aid in digestion, and in ointments for skin and eye irritations, toothaches, and jaundice. It is an excellent insect repellent and has been used in salads or as a food colouring instead of saffron, to add colour to cakes, puddings and butter. The Marigold has been added to pillows to encourage prophetic dreams and incorporated into wedding wreaths and garlands as a love charm.
ASTROLOGICAL SIGN  •  Libra 
Libras are known to be truthful, balanced, hospitable, idealistic, graceful, and peaceful people. Being that your zodiac sign is the scale, you are the diplomat of all of the zodiac signs. You care about balance, justice, harmony, and stability, always wanting to make things right. You are able to put yourself in other people's shoes and have a great deal of compassion and empathy for them. You are very intelligent, but tend to hide this behind your easygoing exterior. Your intelligence often is expressed through creativity. You also love to be surrounded by luxury and class.
CHINESE YEAR  •  The Ox - A Symbol of Industriousness 
You are calm, steady, determined, methodical, honest, sincere, reliable, popular, loyal, thorough, strong, and reasonable.

October Birthstones and Flowers
Opal and tourmaline are the October birthstones. Both are connected to legends about rainbows.
Opulent Opal
A hydrated amorphous form of silica, opal is a classed as a mineraloid (like pearl, obsidian, or amber) rather than a mineral because it lacks a crystalline structure.
The internal structure of precious opal causes it to diffract light. It can take on many colors, depending on the conditions in which it was formed. White and shades of green are the most common opal colors. Black is the rarest. Opals are found in Australia, Ethiopia, the United States, and Mexico.
The name opal is probably adapted from the Sanskrit word úpala, first referenced by the Romans around 250 BCE, when opals were the most valuable gemstones. Romans obtained opals from traders from the Bosphrous, who said the gems were from India.
According to legends of the Australian aborigines, opals were formed when the Creator rode a rainbow down to Earth to bring a message of peace to all of humanity. Stones sparkled with rainbow colors where his feet touched the ground. To the Ancient Greeks, opals were formed by Zeus’s tears of joy at the victory over the Titans.
There are many literary references to opals. Shakespeare alludes to the changing optical properties of the opal in Act 2, Scene 4 of Twelfth Night, when the Clown Feste says to Duke Orsino
“Now, the melancholy god protect thee, and the tailor make thy doublet of changeable taffeta, for thy mind is a very opal.”
Treasured Tourmaline
The semi-precious stone tourmaline is found in a wide array of colors. It is a crystalline boron silicate mineral compounded with other elements which determine the color. Lithium-rich tourmalines can be blue, green, red, yellow, pink, or almost any other hue. Magnesium-rich varieties are brown to yellow. Iron-rich tourmalines are black to dark blue or brown.  
The name tourmaline comes from the Tamil and Sinhalese word "Turmali" (තුරමලි) or "Thoramalli" (තෝරමල්ලි) meaning ”mixed colors.”
Ancient Egyptian legend said tourmalines passed through a rainbow on their long journey from the center of the earth to the surface, absorbing all its colors.
The Dutch East India Company brought these bright and beautiful stones to Europe from Sri Lanka in the 17th and 18th centuries. Today tourmalines are still mined in Sri Lanka, and in Brazil, Tanzania, Nigeria, Madagascar, Namibia, Pakistan, Malawi, and the United States.
Native Americans used pink and green tourmaline as funeral gifts. Pink, green, and black tourmalines are found in here in San Diego County, California. The Chinese Empress Dowager Cixi, Regent (and effective ruler) of the Qing Dynasty from 1861 until her death in 1908, loved pink tourmalines. She bought many pink tourmaline gemstones and carvings from the Himalaya Mine, located at Lake Henshaw in the Mesa Grande, near Santa Ysabel in San Diego County. The mine is still in operation, and open to visitors, with opportunities to dig for tourmalines and other minerals.

Marigold and Cosmos, the October Flowers
The October birth month flowers are the marigold and the cosmos. Both are members of the plant family Asteraceae.
Marigolds are easy to grow with a long bloom time, bringing bursts of white,  yellow, and orange to the summer and autumn garden. Bright orange is the most popular shade. Marigolds stand for warmth, contentment, and fierce love.
The common name marigold can refer to two genuses: Tagetes and Calendula. The flower heads are similar to carnations or daisies and can bloom singly or in clusters.
Marigolds of the genus Calendula are edible, and are used as effective  herbal treatment for skin conditions. (In contrast, most tagetes marigolds are toxic.) In South Asia garlands of yellow and orange marigolds are used to decorate religious statues and temples.
Dante Gabriel Rossetti, the famous Pre-Raphaelite artist, used marigolds as a motif in more than one of his paintings. They figure prominently in a 1873 work described in a January 31, 1874 letter to Frederick Leyland. Rossetti wrote “I shall call the picture either Spring Marybuds or The Bower Maiden. It represents a young girl (fair) in a tapestried chamber, with a jar containing marybuds (or marsh marigolds, the earliest spring flowers here), which she is arranging on a shelf. Near her is a cat playing with a ball of worsted. The picture abounds in realistic materials & is much like the Veronica in execution & not inferior to that picture in colour.” (Fredeman, Correspondence, 74.21)
The play The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds, by playwright and science teacher Paul Zindel, received the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1971. The title refers to marigolds grown for a science fair experiment by the main character Tillie. Damaged yet resilient and beautiful, the flowers are a metaphor for her and her ability to succeed in a hostile, dysfunctional environment.
Cosmos are semi-tall annual daisy-like flowers that attract butterflies and bees. Their colors include pink, yellow, orange, red, maroon, and white. Cosmos symbolize serenity, order, and peace. The genus of this flower is also called Cosmos.
Japanese army surgeon, novelist and poet Lieutenant-General  Mori Ōgai (1862 - 1922)  wrote:
your heart still remains unsettled like the wavering of a cosmos flower after the bee is gone
Tumblr media
1908 E. Nash postcard for October, from the Birthday Gems series. 
My 1908 E. Nash postcard for October features an opal set in gold with sprays of yellow and orange goldenrod. Like the marigold and the cosmos, the goldenrod is a member of the family Asteraceae. It is a late summer to early fall flower, and is considered a good luck symbol.  The signature “guiding star” is in the upper left corner, with the word “October” from the center to the right, and the greeting “Wishing you a Happy Birthday” along the base of the card.  The verse, framed beside the word “October” reads:
The Golden Rod a guide to wealth, Thy thoughts are fancy-free The iridescent Opal bids Hope May the world be kind to thee, And that thy star may guide you Through Life’s path where’ere you may be.
Happy birthday to all who are October born, including the love of my life, my husband Neal. Like many October babies, he claims the entire month and the celebration of Halloween as his own. He refers to the month as “Big October” since our wedding anniversary, his birthday, then Halloween, his favorite holiday, take place this month. (We see it as the start of the holiday season.)

What Are Birth Flowers?
New Post has been published on https://junebirthflower.com/index.php/2019/08/29/what-are-birth-flowers/
What Are Birth Flowers?
Tumblr media
A birth flower, as the name shows, is the flower for the month of someone’s birthday. Each month has a flower that would symbolize the relevant month of a person’s birthday. A person born in that specific month could get the inherited characters of the relevant birth flower. Thus, it would be informative to get an idea of the Birth Flowers.
People usually know of the zodiac signs and other stuff like the birthstones relevant to their birthdays, but few people know that there are birth flowers. These birth flowers have a meaning and are special for each person born in a certain month to which their relevant flower belongs. Life is full of mysteries and surprises. Knowing the birth month flower and the reason it belongs to a certain month rather than the other is no less than a mystery. Find your birth month flower and enjoy the fragrance while it lasts.
Tumblr media
What is the history of Birth Flower?
The history of the Birth Month Flowers dates to the times of Roman as they had been the pioneer of this tradition that is, celebrating birthdays with flowers. Seasonal flowers can be the best gift for someone on a special occasion and especially on a birthday. These can be great for the decorations.
Floriography was developed a long time ago. In fact, many centuries have passed. It is the language of flowers. In the past, much focus was on finding the meaning for each flower. There had been books published on the meaning of flowers. There had been a restriction of communication between couples, and the best way to show love and admiration was through flowers. You would have seen that in the old movies and books there had always been mention of flowers. In fact, giving someone a red rose would show their emotion of love.
We are now living in an era of modernization and information technology. Although the world has taken the form of a global village, you can see that flowers have not lost their meaning. There is now open communication between people, and there are many mediums available to talk to a loved one. But the flowers hold meaning and display beauty and elegance.
Tumblr media
What are the birth flowers for each month?
Many months have two flowers; However, the reason behind it is unknown. Every flower conveys a meaning. It is like a language and it is wise to know what each flower show and means. If someone gives you a flower, you will instantly know what they are trying to convey. Sometimes flowers take the place of words. These are not only beautiful but convey a lot of emotions.
Carnation and Snowdrop are the birth month flower for January.
Violet and Primrose are February birth flowers.
Daffodil and Jonquil are March birth flowers.
Daisy and Sweet Pea are April birth flowers.
Lily of the Valley and Hawthorn are May birth flowers.
Rose and Honeysuckle are June birth flowers. Larkspur and Water Lily are July birth flowers.
Gladiolus and Poppy are August birth flowers. Aster and Morning glory is September birth flowers.
Marigold and Cosmos are October birth flowers.
Chrysanthemum is the November birth flower.
Narcissus and Holly are December birth flowers.
Tumblr media
Now that you know the birth month flowers for each of the months, it would be a good idea to gift the flowers accordingly. The best part is the availability of flowers in the specific month. Presenting someone with flowers is still the best gift, and women are fond of flowers. You can show love and appreciation to your mother on Mother’s Day by presenting her with the birth month flower. Each flower is unique and would make the receiver happy.  Life is short to hold grudges, make sure you celebrate life with enthusiasm and giving flowers to someone can show peace. However, also make sure you know the meaning behind every flower.
Flowers, Colors, and Symbols
The pink color is a sign of affection. We interpret red in terms of love and white is a color for pure love. Yellow represents rejection. It can represent disappointment.
Snowdrop, which is a flower for the month of January symbolizes beauty. It symbolizes hope too.
You can give primrose to someone special and important in your life. He or she is a person; you cannot imagine your life without.
Jonquils are associated with rebirth. If you want to say goodbye to someone, a sweet pea can be the best flowers to present as these represent a goodbye.
 Lily of the Valley is a symbol of sweetness. Holly is associated with the holiday season.
Tumblr media
Give a red flower to your true love. There is a meaning for every rose color. Be careful in your selection.
If you want to wish someone success and wealth, gift them white poppies. Morning glory is a symbol of affection. Marigold is a sign of optimism. You can gift someone a bouquet with Poppies, morning glory, and Marigold.
What is July Birth Flower?
Water Lily and Larkspur are the July Birth Flower. The July birth flower water lily symbolizes sweet, joyful, and fickleness. These flowers are remarkable in appearance and they surely make the head turn. Spring and summer are two of the most beautiful seasons. If you know someone who is having a special occasion in July, it would be a good idea to gift them with these birth flowers.
Larkspur
There is another name for Larkspur, which is Delphinium. However, it is common as Larkspur. Larkspur has natural beauty, and each color specifies a different meaning. The white color in this flower shows a nature that is happy and joyous. The purple color in this flower symbolizes the first love. This flower shows a strong love-bond. You can gift Larkspur flowers to someone born in July. It would be a special gift if you are in love with that someone since the purple color in the flower shows love. If you are fond of gardening, it would be a good idea to fill up your garden with these flowers in July, especially if you are a July born. The first love is special for everyone. You might like to give this flower to the person you love the most. It would show that you are interested in and are taking notice of the relationship.
Water Lily
The water lily July birth flower would be special for people born in July. It symbolizes majesty and signifies purity. Water lily has many uses in the pond. If you want to prevent the algae from growing, it would be wise to use the water lily. It is not only beautiful but also provides shade to the frogs and fish. You can gift water lily to someone or keep it proudly in your pond.
Tumblr media
Final Words
Flowers are a great way to express your emotions. You can give flowers to your loved ones to show that you care. When someone is sick, you can take flowers to visit them in person and it would add value. However, when a person is born in a certain month and you gift them with their birth month flower, make sure you tell them that why have you chosen this specific flower and not any other. Learn the meanings behind the language of a flower. For people born in July, you can gift Larkspur and you can keep water lily in your pond. Give the flower to your mother and children as these two relations are no less than beautiful flowers!
