#kite rambles #I should have waited but it wasn't terribly expensive all things considered #I do neeed to go steal some more potting soil from mom #I had already stolen som dirt and a coupl of spier plant babies to pot right #and trio keeps PULLING THEM UP the little shit #so mayb having some other plants to harass will spare them the unwanted attntion #I got a bromlaid for 50% off because the flowr's almost done but it has pups coming up #and a teeny little burro's tail and a string of pearls and a tiny african violet #want more lateer but for now these'll have to work #I've givn up editing the missing and misplacd Es and Ds did you notice

Out of curiosity i wanted to see how i measured up to my Burro's tail, it is now almost as tall as me XD Like, if i stood on the window there wouldn't be much in it, the angle makes it look a bit shorter than it is. I really dunno where i am gonna put this eventually, i have avoided intentionally damaging it but i think at some point I'll need to prune it as length and weight, dunno what i could do with it in future!

I randomly found a 500 page French book on OpenLibrary about the etymology of animal names so here are 10 (ish) fun facts:

the French word for poodle, “caniche” looks like it definitely comes from Latin “canis” (dog) but no! It comes from cane / canard (duck) because it was a waterfowl-hunting dog—and its name in English, Swedish, German, Dutch (poodle, pudel, puedel) also reflects this dog’s affinity with water (from pudeln = to splash about). It’s like otters, whose name come from the same root as water...

the canary on the other hand is named after canis / dog, since it comes from the Canary Islands which, according to Pliny the Elder, were named after the huge dogs that lived there at some point. Some historians think these mysterious big dogs were actually seals or big lizards. Then a bird ended up with the name ‘from the dog place’ though it’s unclear if dogs were ever truly involved. (Meanwhile Spain / Hispania comes from the Phoenician i-shepan-im, the place with rabbits.) I like the idea of ancient humans seeing seals or lizards and going “weird dogs”. Like how ancient Greeks saw hyenas and named them “pigs, I guess?”

the fox has a great diversity of names in Europe: fox / Fuchs, zorro, räv, volpe, raposa, lisu, róka, renard... In French it used to be called ‘goupil’, from the same Latin root as the Italian ‘volpe’, but then the mediaeval cycle of poems known as Le Roman de Renart, about an unprincipled fox named Renart, became so popular that renard became the word for fox and goupil disappeared. It’s like if 500 years from now bears in English were called baloos. (The English and German words for fox come from the indo-european root puk- which means tail, like Hungarian ‘farkas’ (wolf) which means tail-having, or squirrel, from the Greek words for shade + tail, there are actually lots of animals that are just “that one with a tail”...)

French has a word for baby rabbit (lapereau) derived from Latin leporellus (little hare) and we used to have a word for adult rabbit (conin) from Latin cuniculus (rabbit)—related to the German Kaninchen, Italian coniglio, Spanish conejo, etc. But ‘conin’ in Old French also meant pussy (there were mediaeval puns about this in the Roman de Renart) and at some point I guess people were like okay, it was funny at first but we’ve run this joke into the ground, and a new and politically correct word appeared for adult rabbit (lapin) based on the pre-existing word for baby rabbit (lapereau).

The english bear is thought to come from the proto-IE root bher-, for brown—I love how Finnish has so many nicknames and euphemisms for “bear” ranging from “honey palm” to “apple of the forest” and English is like... dude’s brown. Same amount of effort with the Swedish and Danish words for fox, räv / ræv, from a root that means reddish-brown. (And the Hungarian word for lion, oroszlán, along with the Turkish ‘aslan’, comes from proto-Turkic arislan / arsilan which comes from arsil which means brown...) And since brown was already taken, ‘beaver’ (+ German, Dutch, Swedish...: Biber, bever, bäver) has been speculated to come from bhe-bhrus-, a doubling of the original root so... brownbrown.

English foal / German Fohlen / French poulain / Italian puledro all come from the proto-IE root pu- which means small (e.g. Latin puer and Greek pais = child)—then the French ‘poulain’ became ‘poulenet’ with the diminutive -et (so, a smallsmall animal) and poulenet became powny in Scots then pony in English, which was then re-imported by French as ‘poney’. Also the Spanish word for donkey, burro, comes from Latin burricus = small horse, and in French Eeyore is named Bourriquet with the -et diminutive ending, so we just keep taking small horses and turning them into smallsmall horses...

The boa (bo(v)a) shares the same etymology as bovine / bœuf / beef, due to a widespread belief that some snakes suckled milk from cows. Pliny the Elder stated this as fact and (not to bully him but) modern research tells us “there is no empirical basis for saying snakes like mammal milk; experiments, indeed, have shown that captive snakes systematically refuse to drink milk”

I was disappointed to learn that antelope comes from Greek anthólops which referred to a mythical creature, because I grew up convinced the origin of the word (antilope in French) was anti-lupus, as in, the gazelle is the generic prey so as a concept it’s the opposite of the wolf, the generic predator. Wolf and anti-wolf. Though it raised the question of why we don’t have antilions (zebra), anticats (mice) and antibears (salmons)

Many European languages have named kites after some sort of flying animal: in English it comes from the word for owl, in Portuguese from the word for parrot, in Italian from eagle, and in French it’s cerf-volant aka flying-deer. There’s an interesting hypothesis for this! Kites came to Europe from China, where they were often shaped like dragons or snakes, and snake is serpent in French and serpe in Old French, so it’s possible that kites were serpe-volants aka flying-snakes. But the ‘p’ and ‘v’ next to one another were a hassle to pronounce so the p got dropped and it became ser-volant, then ‘ser’ which isn’t a word started being mistaken for ‘cerf’ which is pronounced ‘ser’ but means deer... (We did it again with chauve-souris (bald-mouse = bat), which comes from the Gaulish cawa-sorix aka owl-mouse—which makes more sense as a name for bats! similar to the German Fledermaus, flying-mouse, and Spanish murciélago, blind-mouse. But Gaulish ‘cawa’ was mixed up with Latin ‘calva’ = chauve = bald, so now a French bat is a bald-mouse)

I love etymology, it’s all flying deer and dogs named splash and snakes named cow and ponies named smallsmall and five animals named brown and three named tail—words acquire a veneer of linguistic respectability over the centuries and we forget that fundamentally everyone just says whatever

ANONIE :D what the fuck? what was that chapter anonie/j

Dont you have enogh? /j (also why lord hijiki remeind me of 12Shredder) also my hate to this boomer, L+ratio, estupido cara de burro, piece of shit called Lord

Anyways I have a question abt the

FUTURE

Of Awosan Future timeline, sooo where does Leo and Usagi lives? (/w their kids obv) like i think in one ask it was stablished(? that they didnt live in the sewer, but where exactly? like in the hidden city or in another part?

Also have this

I’ve had that planned since December :)

Now you asked for the

Future

So how dare I not deliver

So Leo and Usagi’s home. It is not in the Swede and it is not in the hidden city. Usagi wants to raise his kids in the sunlight. Finding out how long it was before Leo and his brother walked above ground horrifies him. He wants the world for his family. That includes being able to be normal kids and play outside.

Their home is outside of New York City. Think like the farm house from 2003. It’s in the woods and near a lake. It has a modern Japanese style to it, a blend of their two worlds. It’s private as at this point mutants and yokai are more common, Leo, Usagi and the others are famous because of their actions to keep the city/world safe.

In other

Future

News. Do you want to hear about Raph and Mona Lisa’s kids?

No? Well You’re going to anyway.

They have been thinking about kids for a while but Leo and Usagi’s announcement that they were having a kid really sparked them forward. Why not have a kid now? It will be close in age to Leo’s kid meaning both kids will have someone to play with.

Lisa’s Italian family is traditional and normally pass down Italian names. Raph and Lisa have a deal that if they have a boy then Lisa gets to pick their name (an Italian name) and if it is a girl then Raph gets to pick their name (a Japanese name)

They have some trouble getting pregnant but finally they do.

They have their first kid about 8 months after Jotaro is born.

It’s a little baby boy named Benigno ( it means Friendly) He is named after Mona’s grandfather.

He is a green snapping turtle with a long tail but he had Lisa’s yellow spots.

And like his mother he’s bold. Where Jotaro is quite and mature Benigno will absolutely tell you what he thinks. They balance each other well and he is Jotaro’s best friend.

I think I will assign him the color red

They were thinking about having another kid. They had gotten pregnant again, when the twins were surprised adopted.

Mona was around 3 months pregnant at the time.

Making her 5 months pregnant when Leo and Usagi rushed home with two sick children.

Lisa was so scared that her kids could get this sick. She was terrified for Sakura and Ume. Luckily the girls pulled through

A little bit later Lisa had their first daughter, Mikazuki (meaning Crescent moon)

She is a black snapping turtle with yellow spots.

She is the same age as the twins but is more into sport then they are. She likes wearing dresses here and there but she’s not as girly as Sakura is. She does get a little more girly as she grows up. Helping Sakura with her fashion projects.

She is definitely a daddy’s girl as she loves playing sports ball with her father. Though if she was ever allowed on a sports team she would probably play water polo.

She picks the color white for herself

About a year later they have their youngest.

A little boy named Fulvio (it means Yellow)

He is a green salamander with yellow spots. He is a year older then Kaida and is much bigger

(all of Raph kids are bigger then Kaida was, still small but bigger then her. They are all still shocked by Kaida’s small size. This has to do with both Lisa be Raph being huge and their kids having half human DNA instead of the 1/4 that Leo and Usagi’s kids get)

He is a shy sweet little boy who enjoys reading and art. The is much quieter then his two more chaotic siblings.

Once Kaida comes along and is up and moving the two become a duo. Make no mistake Fulvio might be older but he is not in charge. He is following Kaida in all of her bad decisions

I shall make his color a greenish yellow or a bright yellow. This make him and Kaida yellow buddies.

That’s all I have so far. This can all change as well.

Been busy pollinating some of these. At first we did not think that he'd make anything but flowers. Charming man he is. But his sister plant (my variegated) was all up in arms with children. Busting forth like blossoms in spring as if she has never known such joy.

And of course my Burro's tail. A heavy woman full of spite against God. Rich and plump so much so we had to anchor her pot into the wood window frame. Her children are beginning to become something of themselves. I cannot wait to see how they grow. So many babies.

the pain and suffering of trying to move a full burro's tail sooo so gently and gingerly and holding it like you would hold a tiny little baby bird even though it weighs like 15 pounds and fighting back tears as you slowly and delicately try to slide it onto its new shelf for the winter and feeling leaf after leaf after leaf pop off and fall to the floor and every movement you make to try and fix it makes it worse

Got my Burro's Tail this time 4 years ago, so here's a progress photo!

Also finally motivated myself to repot these! The Sansevieria had a huge chunk of soil missing and was literally pushing itself out of the pot, and my Crassula Ovata couldn't even stand up in the pot, it was leaning against the wall to not tip over! It sadly has lost many leaves as neglect is hitting it hard, but hopefully repotting these both helps

I do miss all my plants, i miss caring for them all, repotting them all, and how much they grew and flourished when i correctly fed and watered them, but it's so hard to motivate myself, and losing all of them, especially my Monstera and the Ficus Elastica Tineke, think it knocked my motivation even more. Still am proud pf my burro though!
