foreword: typing this from my phone while blitzed sorry if this is messy. lol. based off of those Hoard pics of Joe Quinn. edible arms. u get it.

+18 mdni. husky!neighbor!Eddie x Reader

Cw: mutual masturbation, desc of Eddie’s larger weight (but purely in a fat-positive manner. big boys are hot period), soft!dom from both sides, R has breasts + a V and a lot of feminine nicknames are used.

Your surprise visit to Eddie’s apartment in the middle of the night has taken an awkward turn when, in the midst of your familiar barging in and subsequent ramble about the latest drama at your work, you realize Eddie is out of breath just from standing behind the counter.

“did I… interrupt something?” you ask, the beginning of a tease in your voice, squinting at the visible sheen on his skin (peeking out from a faded tee and sweatpants hung low on those plush hips. not that you were staring, per se...) “do you have a girl over?”

he rolls his eyes. “only girl over here is you, sweetheart.”

you lean into your forearms across the countertop, dropping to a joking, salacious whisper- “so you were jacking off, then?”

what you don’t expect is Eddie to scoff and blush, but that’s what he does: rosy pink tingeing his cheeks, eyes darting to the floor.

“oh my god.” you straighten, taking a step back, suddenly self-conscious. “you actually were? i- i was joking.”

Eddie shakes out of his embarrassment, trying to mollify you. “nah, don’t sweat it, angel. you couldn’t have known. maybe we just go our separate ways for tonight and-“

“I was gonna go home and do the same, actually,” you blurt out, feeling warm yourself.

that gets you his eyes, intense and suddenly focused on yours.

“Yeah?”

“Uh-huh.” you take a step closer, rounding to his side of the counter. “I could… do it here. if you wanted.”

“holy shit,” Eddie murmurs, as you press against his front, his big arms automatically encircling your shoulders. “really?”

“where do you want me?”

“uhhh…” Eddie stalls for a moment then recovers. “the bed. my bed is good. let’s go in there.”

he leads you down the hall to his room, a bit of laundry hanging here and there but otherwise clean and lit by cozy lamplight.

“smells like boy in here.” you sigh happily with a gentle bounce onto the bed. you scoot towards the wall to make room on the bed for two, but when you look over, Eddie’s dragging a chair across the carpet to face you and sits in it.

“the hell are you doing?” you’re about to protest at the level of intimacy that you feel has ramped up in his favor, but Eddie just shrugs a shoulder.

“think of it this way, princess: you’ll get to watch me, too.”

his words stop you from complaining further. Eddie throws an arm over his shoulder to pull his t-shirt off, his guitar pick nestled just above the ornate crow tattoo covering his chest. staggering his feet on the ground, his thighs widen to show off the steadily-growing bulge in his sweats.

he’s fucking gorgeous. thick arms, a dark trail of hair smattering across the pudge of his stomach and dipping into his waistband. your mouth waters as you lie back on the pillows, wiggling out of your jeans and underwear without taking your eyes off of him.

Eddie palms himself through his pants, rings glinting in the low light.

when you spread yourself for him, the wet click of your stickiness between your fingers makes him moan.

“fuck yeah, sweetheart. touch that pretty clit for me.”

you obey, dipping your fingers down into the well of your wetness before rubbing circles against your bundle of nerves, hips bucking into your own touch.

“you can- ah- touch yourself, too.” your voice is strained but Eddie must’ve heard you; he wastes no time in pulling his sweats down around his balls, revealing a sizeable cock that drips precum steadily over his fist as he begins to stroke himself.

“fuck, Eddie,” you gasp, fingers working faster over your throbbing clit, other hand pawing at your nipples hardened through layers of fabric. “how’m I ever gonna take that?”

“we’ll work you up to it.”

that shouldn’t make you clench the way it does. “jesus, Eddie.”

there’s a slick noise with each of his movements, harsh slap of skin as he fucks into his own fist. “stick some fingers inside you, doll. how many can you take?”

the fingers on your clit stay but you slide your other hand to your mouth, sucking on the middle three before following them down the slope of your body to slowly push them into your gushing hole.

Eddie swears, hips snapping forward. “fuck yeah. just like that… be a good girl for me, curl ‘em up and fuck yourself.”

“wish it was you.” you’re letting the sound of Eddie’s fist set your own rhythm, eyes starting to roll back, wave of pleasure mounting. “wish it was your cock filling me up instead of my fingers…”

“next time,” Eddie says- and it’s the way he says is, all breathless assurance, that sends the wave crashing into you.

“fu-uuck…” the crown of your head tips back into the pillows, cunt clenching around your fingers as you come. through your own haze of peaking, you hear Eddie’s praises in rocky timbre.

“that’s it, baby. let it out. oh, fuck yes, you’re so hot- fuck, you’re gonna make me come-“

you open your eyes just in time to watch his shoulders curl in, ropes of cum shooting out of the ruddy head of his cock, painted against his chest and stomach, into the hair that’s fallen over his shoulders.

Eddie collapses back into his chair with a low-toned sigh, slack-jawed until you giggle him into speech again. “christ. that was incredible. goddamn. you're officially invited to interrupt my jacking off sessions any time, from now until the end of time."

[sanctus-ingenium]

hi! big fan here :]! you mentioned doing studies of historical armor, and i was wondering if you have any advice with finding photos to study/reference? i have a tricky time finding things that aren't ahistorical :(

hi! i know the struggle.. an easy bet is to just find art or paintings from the era you're interested in that feature knights or armoured people if you want an understanding of general design, original colours (a lot of surviving examples of metal armour have lost their paint) & what goes where - lycaon's armour is based off of a painting of albrecht may on horseback, for example. but photographs are always best for stuff like this

i have a big folder of references myself and i also follow some blogs/twitter accounts that post historical costumes (i frequently need references from several eras lol. 1300s, 1860s, 1970s...). tacking on "historical" to a google image search is hit and miss. mostly I suggest you just save and hoard any good pic you find

and definitely look through @armthearmour archive because this blog is gold. idk if it still posts tho. if my followers know any similar resources put it in the replies because i've forgotten everything else

#ftr replies are enabled for ppl who have been following more than a week or two iirc #i was getting bombarded by spam bots sorry

[mad-voidling]

(Shoutout to @house-of-mirrors for inspiring the pic!! Go check out their work it’s great!)

Figure it was time to introduce my own silly little guy!! The picrew is slightly jank cause their design is only roughly humanoid lol, but I’m okay with it! I already have some more of its story planned out in my head besides the stuff I’m going to be putting below the cut, so feel free to ask about anything and/or send a calling card my way!! Their name is the same as my profile name

Info

(minor spoilers for Heart’s Desire)

- Agender and Aroace, not exactly out but it hasn’t had any trouble with people questioning them about it (We’re living underground with devils and people with tentacles for f___’s sake!!)

- Awoke in New Newgate knowing their name and nothing else about itself. When asked about this initially, they would seem to space out for a moment before jolting back to reality and seeming to not have heard the question at all. Thus, most don’t ask anymore

- It’s constantly wrapped up in layers of cloth and such, and no one’s seen what’s underneath it, not even Idris themselves. They’ve tried, but for unknown reasons, it’s physically incapable of removing any of it itself. When anyone else tries, they fly into an uncontrollable panic that they never seem to remember once they’ve calmed down

- Quite tall, but not freakishly so yet, probably around seven feet or so

- Has an almost instinctual loathing and mistrust of Mr. Stones, has complicated feelings on the Masters in general but will choose any of them over Stones

- Sometimes, if it focuses hard enough, it can see the night sky, full of brilliant and vibrant stars

- Has a tendency to hoard things that catch their eye, usually shiny stuff but really anything they find interesting. Their organization of their collection seems chaotic, but there’s a logic to it that only it knows

- Occasionally cloisters itself in its lab for extended periods when it gets really focused on some research

- Not a fan of alcoholic beverages, has mastered the art of subtly dumping drinks into nearby plants

- Has… Complex feelings about the other players of the Marvellous. Their relationships with the Bishop and Beechwood are the simplest because they don’t interact/talk much outside of the game. It’s somewhat concerned about both of them for different reasons, but isn’t about to barge into their lives or anything (Besides, what could they really do? Collecting candles isn’t a crime, and Beechwood is a bit beyond help at this point)

- Certainly not friends with Virginia, but they have a mutual respect for each other. They met even before Idris became a player of the Marvellous when they were both after the Correspondence Stones, which Idris won far and square. Their lives have overlapped several times since then, and they’ve learned to get along fairly well

- Not a big fan of the Manager, finds his whole hotel uncomfortable and doesn’t trust him in the slightest. That isn’t helped when it finds out about the whole Tristram thing, which it thinks is a bit too convenient for their liking based on what they know. Also sick of him making his personal issues the problem of literally everyone else (it’s not our fault you’re not over your divorce yet bro). When the Horrors:tm: get to be to much they’ll stay in the Mirror-Marches, thank you very much

- Speaking of Tristram, Idris has a big soft spot for him. It understands what it’s like not to know yourself, to brush your fingertips against memories but not be able to grab hold of them. As soon as it gets the chance it gets his mind back and returns to it to him with zero hesitation. Once everything is said and done I imagine that the two of them + Cora remain good friends

- Mr. Pages confuses Idris immensely. Though the Master doesn’t usually seek them out, when the two do interact, it acts overly familiar with them. Not to an uncomfortable degree, but it’s still strange, and when it breaks into their wine stores, it almost seems to want to tell them something, but never lets it slip. Hmm. They also both share an interest in books, so that and the Marvellous usually ends up being the focus of their conversations

- Loves their work as a Correspondent, despite the inherent danger that comes with working with the Correspondence. It feels comfortable to them, as if they’re coming home. The letters seem to flow out onto whatever it’s writing on, which has led to them getting lost in thought a few times and their clothes catching on fire

New batch of chicken photos

Everyone is on antibiotics because they’re sneezing

Also apparently the one we took in to the vet absolutely wrecked the cage she was in, like ripped up all the newspaper and piled in the middle

Your chickens are beautiful and I'm saving all of these into my "chicken pics to send my girlfriend" album. I send her one every time she least expects it and seems like she'd need something like that. I can measure how well things are going based on how many I've got saved up, the more I have on hoard the happier things have been, since I haven't needed to send her one in a while.

Random B5 Headcanons

Gakushuu sleeps on his back. He also has two sleeping mask, one's black and one's dark purple. He uses one when the other needs to be washed. He also can't sleep without them. He's thinking of buying a third one in case both are dirty, ruined, or lost. (He's not sure which color, though...)

Ren absolutely hates multitasking. He can do it when he puts his mind to it, but prefers to handle one thing at a time.

The only exception's when girls are involved, now that's something Ren can juggle with whatever he's currently doing. The B5 constantly tease him for this.

For that reason, he doesn't enjoy singing and playing base simultaneously unless Gakushuu makes him he really has to. That's why Seo's usually the backup singer.

Speaking of, Ren's voice is much more suited for calm, relaxing songs, but it can't handle high notes or fast tempos. Gakushuu's constantly tells him to work on his breathing technique.

Seo's a bit of neat freak. He won't go above and beyond with cleaning until there isn't so much as a speck of dust in his room, but he's serious about organizing and good hygenie. He will never show up to school with bad body odor or his uniform wrinkled.

Still, he hates doing chores. Folding his clothes? Yeah, sure; he's gotta a cool image to keep. Folding everyone's clothes?? Get outta here! He'll even get outta the house just to avoid chores. (He's usually successful because he claims to have a study session with his friends, usually.)

By contrast, Araki's the messiest of the bunch. Organized doesn't exist in his book. The first time Seo came over, he nearly had a heart attack from the sight of Araki's sorry excuse of a bedroom.

Araki tends to hoard books and newspapers, especially old ones. He's also got plenty of notebooks and journals stacked on his desk, nightstand, and on the floor. Boy loves knowledge, okay?

Koyama's a great cook (credits to @/fivesmartfackers-blog for this one) because he would observe his mother cooking and strictly follows reciptes. However, he sometimes messes up due to vague instructions like add a pinch of salt, so he ends up adding too much or too little. He'll mess up other measurements when he's too focused on getting them just right. How? Even he doesn't know.

Even when it states to add a table spoon of an ingredient, he'll question if it's too little and add one or two more table spoons "just in case"

Luckily, these's a few instances as he proudly proclaims his cooking to be great 2 out of 10 times.

Araki has a massive sweet and will readily taste-test Koyama's snacks. Even when it's too sugary, he'll like it.

Gakushuu's not a fan of sweets. He may have the world's 2nd worst sleeping schedule (1st place obviously goes to Gakuhou), he's not so negligant with his eating habits. This boy is strict about having a healthy, balanced diet. He has a habit of checking food labels whenever he goes grocery shopping.

He's also a great cook and even takes over meal preps at home, not because he wants to do something nice for his mom, but because cooking's one of the few skills Gakuhou lacks. Gakushuu makes sure to rub it in during breakfast.

No matter how busy he is, Gakushuu will wake up early in the morning to make breakfast just to mock his dad. That's how petty he is.

Obviously, he doesn't do that when he's got tests. Those early hours of dawn are spent on studying instead. He lets his mom know so she knows what to cook.

Koyama's heavy sleeper. He's had brief moments of lucid dreaming before his consciousness slips away again.

Dragons are his spirit animal, which is why they're also his first choice for profile pics.

as someone who purely does simple art that doesn't get too realistic, you could try seeing if having a color palette with limited range for each colors helps? like 1 light, 1 normal, and 1 dark for each color or something along the lines that works for you? that way you're not as tempted to do a whole complex shade range where you have a whole list for just one color like I'm you guessing you would have for something more realistic. if i find a simple coloring tutorial somewhere burried in my hoard of links i can see if i can throw it your way.

Thank you!

Actually, not colouring is my problem, but the shading itself. I only use 5 shades of grey when I do greyscale (the pumpkin pic i also did greyscale and coloured after). My problem is mostly how to draw the hair and where to put shadows and highlights. I still need to work on my mind that I only want a base colour and put shadows and highlights where they are absolutely needed, because I still have my sketched lines to support them yk?

In my realistic style I erase almost all of my lineart at the end because I want this style to be able to work without those, because they’re mostly just guidelines yk? Thats why i have to shade and render A LOT in this style. I think I‘m on a good way with the pumpkin piece. I just wanna have a quick and simple style to do fun stuff inbetween big pieces, because they take soo so long to finish.

[waddles-ex-machina]

so it turns out I am!! remaking the wand bc while I am very proud of it, I have also realised that despite hoarding every screenshot I could find at the time and planning everything out

I got the goddamn bend wrong

In my defence I think this must be the only image in existence where the wand base isn’t covered and doesn’t have perspective skewing it (and working out the shape from several pics of kaisa holding different parts was rly hard, though I now understand why 🥲) anyway that’s on me but its fine bc this time I have a clear pic to reference from

why am I doing this, you ask? why am I putting myself through this when i know, logically, that it’s extremely unlikely anyone I see at a con will care or even know that the bend is wrong? because I will know. I will know and it will haunt me to my dying day

also this cosplay has taken so much of my sanity that at this point it may as well have the rest

Finally working on my agents?????

Idk what 8 is going to end up like, but I'm going to play octo expansion in the next couple months which should help with that. But for now here's what we have!

I named them all after citrus stuff cuz.. its cute <3 Anyway, if you want a playlist sort of inspired by these 4 and just Splatoon/Splatoon characters in general check this out!

More info under the cut! And of course anything here is subject to change. Feel free to ask me or the agents any questions!

Lime/Captain 3

I mixed the male and female base inkling hairstyles to get the one i use for Lime.

They/Them :)

I changed the cloak they got from cuttlefish to a cape(easier to draw.)

Gave them back their old hero suit/jacket thing and shortened their pants.

This is Lime as of splatoon 3, i dont really know if anything is different about them in one and two that varies from the canon designs other than the hair.

Lime is very much the silent type who tends to worry too much and tries to make sure everything gets handled. This means they can end up taking on a lot more than is healthy for them, but they figure it's better that they do it than anyone else so no one else gets hurt.

has a lot of scars that i didnt include becuz this pic isnt colored.

The exact same height as Yuzu, but Lime wears high heels when in casual clothes so they end up being taller.

Has one older sibling.

Uses roller.

Clementine/Agent 4

Is used to being the smartest there is, and she still is really talented. But when she got into a really fancy school she was suddenly surrounded by other people on her level and she actually had to work. Had never built up good study habits and had just coasted by on natural talent until now, so she dropped out about 3/4 through the school year. A couple weeks later she was scouted by Marie.

She only really went along with Marie due to the low point she was in, and she figured following some random woman into the sewers couldn't be any worse than what she had already done. Saving Callie really helped bring her emotions and confidence back up.

She might still be dealing with feeling like she needs to be perfect and smart for her to have any worth, but she's working to get better and allow herself to make mistakes.

He/Him, She/Her and They/Them!

Their hair is just a shorter version of the "straight" inkling girl hair

The logo on her tank top is supposed to be the cuttlegear logo, but i never drew it lol

Wears her hero jacket around her waist after rescuing Callie.

The wheels help her skate and work well while riding on inkrails. It was her first actual project she let herself work on after dropping out. At first it didnt work, but she eventually tried again and again until it did.

Worlds number one salmon runner.

Was so used to being "the smart kid" until he was surrounded by tons of smart kids. And suddenly, that trait didn't make her stand out any more.

Starts off very self loathing, and Marie doesn't notice because 4 is getting results and all Marie cared about was getting Callie back. But slowly 4 grew to break down and then build herself back up again with Marie's help.

Only child

Uses Dualies mostly, but is also pretty proficient with a charger. Is sort of a jack of all trades and can really play any weapon.

Pomelo/Agent 8

?????

??

She/Her and He/Him???

??????????

??????

?????????????????

E liter user??

??????????????

??????

????

Yuzu/Agent Neo 3

Was originally going to be called Lemon to match with Lime, but i thought Yuzu was cuter

It/It, They/Them, She/Her, and honestly anything else you want to use. Hoards pronouns and names like a dragon.

Lives with Little Buddy and their mom. Their mom(not biological) is a Goldie.

Does actually speak salmonid, and refuses to work for Grizz Co. Will fight their employees on sight. (this causes some slight issues with 4 when they first meet)

Stringer user!

Finds treasure in the splatlands and sells it in splatsville for cash. WILL fight you on sight if you try to take their stuff.

Hair is a mix between the male ponytail and the canon braid style.

Loves to collect shiny bits and bobs, and can sniff out anything like it from a mile away.

Yuzu will do anything for money. It needs money to help support her family!!!

Was sort of conflicted fighting Deep Cut. On one hand, Yuzu respects them a lot for what they do for Splatsville. But on the other hand, Yuzu is not backing down from a challenge OR treasure. So Yuzu chose to at least do Deep Cut the honor of keeping it a clean fight with no tricks.

Speaking of, it WILL play dirty to get what they want.

Very curious and loves to poke around where they don't belong. Will find every little thing hidden in every level.

Absolutely horrible sense of direction, Honey has to help them out a lot.

Is somehow the most naive and most distrusting of the group.

When they celebrate, they go all out! Splatfests, something good happened with the NSS, birthdays, pretty much anything is an excuse to party like tomorrow won't come.

Honey/Little Buddy/Agent Neo 3 Also?

Has a full proper salmonid name, and so does Honey and Yuzu's mom. I just havent decided what they are yet. But Honey was the name Yuzu gave it, and so they wear it with pride!

He/Him, It/Its, They/Them

Has a braid in their hair just like Yuzu!!

Is growing in some of his goldie scales! But not all of them are their yet! Got his first one after the Hugefry transformation. During the transformation he turned into a massive goldie, but returned to normal with no other side effects. But whats this! There was a single golden scale! Honey was so proud!!

Very brave, unafraid to do anything to help Yuzu out! He will help his big sib!!

Likes to cook!

[morroodle]

I've decided to combine my hyperfixations. Ninjago Httyd au. Don't ask me how this works.

Cole: Catastrophic Quaken

Quakens are bulky, intimidating Boulder class dragons that attack by slamming into the ground or their foe. Despite their appearance, they're actually big softies who are very protective of their friends. In other words, this is literally Cole as a dragon

Jay: Armorwing

Yes I know the skrill exists but hear me out. I'm basing these choices not only on element but also on personality, and I really don't think a skrill would be the right companion for Jay. They're just too scary. Armorwings are relatively solitary, but considering they are likely relatives of boneknappers I imagine they are really friendly so long as you don't threaten their hoard. Armorwings are scaleless, so they collect scrap metal and weld it to their bodies to protect themselves. Considering Jay's origin, I think an armowing would be great for him.

Kai: Monstrous Nightmare

You saw this coming. Your mom saw this coming. Everyone saw this coming. Monstrous nightmare is a stoker class dragon that can set itself on fire. They're flamboyant and very loyal, and even if they don't do what their rider wants all the time, they'll take orders when things get serious. There is no easier choice.

Zane: Razorwhip

Zane was... tough. Originally I wanted to give him a Bewilderbeast, but that dosent exactly work if I want this to be a proper au with stories. So even though I think it would be a perfect fit in both element and personality it just wouldn't work in a story. I could have gone with a snow wraith, but much like Jay and the Skrill I didn't think it would fit. Razorwhips are loyal dragons that have always seemed very serious to me, and they're protectors. Combined with the metal thing, I think it's a good fit.

Nya: Scauldron

This was another hard one. Scauldron seems like the obvious choice, being the main water dragon, but I didn't think it fit. Again, personality played a big part in these choices. Scauldrons are far from friendly and they have never really been trained. But the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. I wouldn't call Nya aggressive, but she's nowhere near as friendly as the rest of the ninja. The scauldron is also shown to get very homesick, and I think that matches Nya as well. Honestly I really wanted to pick something else but sadly there is a severe lack of tidal class dragons.

(There are like no good scauldron pics)

Lloyd: Rumblehorn

I thought Nya and Zane were hard... then I had to do Lloyd. There was no obvious choice here. There are very few green dragons, and certainly none with anything resembling Lloyd's powers. I honestly don't think a rumblehorn is a great fit either but there was no better option (please give me a better option). The reason I chose a Rumblehorn, aside from being 1 of 4 green dragons, is because rumblehorns are protectors. Unlike most social dragons who either live in packs or symbiotic relationships, rumblehorns protect other dragons, even when discouraged, without getting anything in return. Seems pretty fitting to me.

Morro: Stormcutter

(Yes I'm doing Morro too what do you expect)

Ok so I don't have the best reasons for this one but stormcutters are my favorite and so is Morro so shut up. Im going partially based on headcannons I have for him because there really aren't any evil dragons. Stormcutters are big 4 winged dragons that are very agile. They can be quite ferocious but are also very curious, and are arguably protectors. This might not be universal but Cloudjumper (Valka's stormcutter) seemed overall pretty tired and unamused by toothless/the babies antics, and that fits great with my redeemed Morro headcannons (poor boy is so tired of being alive).

That's all I have for now but I fully intend to make more of this au in the future. I plan on writing how I think each of them met their dragons and maybe their dragons names, and who knows maybe I'll draw some of this next time I have motivation. Let me know if you would like me to do more characters and which characters you'd want to see, or give me your takes and explain why all my choices are terrible.

Top two pics are my personal interpretations of the four Mini Music Men

Chord - Patrols the Parts & Service vent. Daycare simp, but especially a fan of Moon. Will play a music box version of the Daycare theme from time to time. Scared of Freddy, due to Parts & Service repairs. Group baby. Has bells & a ribbon tied on their hat. Name based on computer cords/musical chords/Moon’s cord that he uses to fly.

Gig -  Patrols the vent behind the greenrooms on Rockstar Row. Freddy fan. Scared of Monty, due to room thrashing behavior. Responsible & trustworthy. Likes people watching. Has a light blue bowtie tied around their neck. Name based on Gigabyte/a musical ‘gig’.

Chip - Patrols the Salads & Sides vent leading down to the kitchen. Is a Chica fan & wants to know what it’s like to eat food. Excitable. Has a pink hair bow tied on their hat. Name based on computer chip/chiptune/potato chip.

Coda - Patrols the East Arcade/Prize Counter vent. Is a Monty & Roxy sympathizer. Overall chill. Loves plushes & will hoard merch. Has Monty style sunglasses. Name based on computer code/a musical coda.

Next three are a prompt from @avidoro - Sun and Moon driving their go-karts, plus detail shots of them both. Of course, Moon is being a doof & driving in the wackiest way he can imagine. Sun is scrunched, but driving responsibly.

Pics: Nymphs¹ Galore!!

1 thru 3. Ancient Greek Nymphs had a variety of nature based tasks.

They handled wild animals & plants, for holiday worship & sacrifices.

Held rites & religious experiences, like being 'entombed' as part of a rebirth rite.

And prepared herbal medicines for the sick & old.

Basically, ancient wise women - what we now call wiccans.

But, were there real women behind these tasks or, is it just a story?

4. Oread (mountain Nymph)? Or, is she a Hamadryad (tree Nymph)?

5. Is this a Naiad (river Nymph)? A Nereid (sea Nymph)?! Or, Oceanid (ocean Nymph)?!!

6 & 7. Certain trees had Dryads (oak) & Meliae (ash) to attend to them.

But, most known types of tree had its own Nymph, from Aegeirus (poplar) to Suke (fig)...

These were seen as the children of Hamadryas (oak bonded), the Dryad of Mt. Othrys (of the mountain?) in central Greece.

1914: The Work, Part 3.

The 1st paragraphs of this Lovecraft poem is a rerun, in verse, of his introduction.

"Frightful griffins (legends tell), Amid the far Rhipaean dwell. Perched on high peaks, (to) watch the moon, (while) guard(ing) hoards of Hyper- borean gold."

"In vain (do) 1-eyed Arimaspians tr(y) with... might to seize the glittering prize: (Yet) griffins are made from (such) monstrous things, A lion's trunk; (with) eagle's head & wings: What thief can oppose, (Or) in greed face such ferocious foes?"

Now, Howard focuses on a particular, "silly" griffin - who's not thinking about guarding any prized metals!

"Yet 1 there was, who (from this) rugged race, Aspired to a softer, sweeter place."

"With liquid glance² the creature eyed, The... Nymphs that ranged the mountainside³."

"No thought of strengh nor martial deeds he took, And never (did) strive but for a melting look²."

So, he's a peeping creep that's lusting outside of his own race... Will it come back to bite him in the rump?

Notes:

1. Nymphs (young women, brides) are human-like personications of nature.

They are tied to particular fertile places (rivers, forests, etc) or to certain 'living' things (trees, water, etc).

Nymphs can alter their appearance into related natural forms.

They usually attend the Olympian gods & can have children with them.

2. A "liquid glance" is compared to a "melting look."

It's not a tearful eye but, a lustful one.

Yet, the griffin's not committing to any 1 being. It's Nymphs plural, not singular.

Nor is he following a group with a different agenda - his brothers's roughhousing.

The 2 eyes that allowed him to 'appreciate' other creatures - also conspired to blind him to his race's usual pursuits.

There's other doubles to be found here:

Such as the 2-eyed griffin vs the 1-eyed barbarians.

The mythic beast can look at the moon, while it also keeps a wary eye on its riches.

But, the Arimaspians are of a single eye & purpose - to get rich...

The griffin, itself, is an union of 2 bodies - while their enemies are only temporarily joined to their horses.

Yet, even with 2 eyes, the griffin soon errs...

Eyes led astray while he lingered in his rugged ease.

3. These mountainside Nymphs should be Oreades (hill/mountain goddesses).

All mountain Nymphs were children of Hamadryas, the 1st in this line of divinities.

Oreades were followers of Artemis (butcher? stainless maiden?), Greek goddess of the moon.

She loved hunting high up in the raw mountains & rocky cliffs.

June 6th-- Hakone

June 6th is here. Only a few more days in Tokyo before we head on over to the second half of our trip in Kyoto. Today's visit was to Hakone, a mountainside town, where our group took to the trails to see some sights. Our initial journey began on a train that scales the steepest slope of any other train in Japan. It had to change direction 3 times just to get up. Next, we took a cable car even higher. As we went up, the view just got better and better. We passed over a volcanic steam vent area with many pockets of sulfur. While the group didn't seem to enjoy it, I thought the view was great and the cold wind to be polarizing and refreshing compared to our days in the city. I ate not 1 but 4 of these eggs that were boiled in natural volcanic water and they were black. Not sure if it was healthy, but protein is protein. Hakone must be quite a tourist destination, as I saw many foreigners and both the cable car and train were packed. We took a wire car back down and then got on a boat to cross Lake Ashi. On the other side, we were met with fishermen and a few beautiful shrines, unfortunately, there was some bad weather, and it really put a damper on the experience. The bus ride back to the station was neat too. Going around these mountain roads had me really itching to drive. Such stimulating, twisty, and scenic roads, ; just superb. I even saw my dream car, an Mk5 Toyota Supra, going for a nice drive on the downhill. So cool!! I really fangirl over everything cars here because the roads and the car scene here are a match made in heaven.

I wanted to remark on the readings for today that spoke about sekisho, or barriers in English. These buildings were a type of checkpoint before reaching the city of Edo, or Tokyo, to prevent contraband and weapons stockpiling against the Samurai. What made this experience extra interesting, is that there was an episode of Samurai Champloo that had one of these barriers as a major plot point. The layout was already familiar to me, maybe it was based on the same checkpoint? Anyway, the checkpoint had a display of weapons to intimidate people who may be committing a crime, and even jail and lookout. Overall, it was an interesting and historically significant site, who knows what the daiyamo would have done if they could smuggle their wives or hoarded weapons.
