#fertility symbol

[nariwalsh]

Reproductive rights have been heavy on my mind as someone who’s given birth, and I drew on my Scandinavian roots for this one. I hope it resonates with others.

It’s also available in my shop.

it’s spring, but all he wants to do is sleep

#star wars fanart #obi-wan kenobi #obi-wan from my (very self-indulgent) vampire!au #he is a little blood-sucking bat #the coat is vaguely inspired by traditional romanian sheepskin coats with their beautiful embroidery #the patterns symbolize immortality/eternity (stars + vines) and fertility (all the flowers) #the eye on the sleeve represents protection #and his tunic has a bit of a sun theme going on #every time i look at this i find something else i want to add or change #still playing around with different ideas #my art

POV: you are eridan

#lofaf art #lofaf bloodswap #feferi #eridan #blood #ask to tag #SO some details about feferi specifically.... #i wanna lean away from the poseidon association with her and focus more on aphrodite symbolism and imagery #a god also very influential on the pisces symbol #who is also a goddess of fertility so i.e. muddergrub #i initially wanted to make her weapon of choice a big scallop shell shaped like a shield #but i kept the culling fork bc that just seems like an actual tool thatd be used in the caverns #honestly i was thinking about her potentially making bird puns as her new gimmick bc of aphrodites association with doves #and like itd be funny but do i know enough fuckin bird puns #ALSO all of her bracelets and necklaces are the arts and crafts from her now dead cloister and the wrigglers she took care of. yaaay. #anyway yeah i like jadeblood feferi a lot i think itd be cool if she undied #this does spell out bad news for violet kanaya though. stay tuned.

Miss Universe Philippines 2023, Michelle Marquez Dee, wearing a gown designed with Mark Bumgarner.

The design was inspired by the traditional tattoos of Maria Whang Od Oggay, popularly known as Apo Whang Od (pictured below).

At age 106, she is the oldest tattoo artist, or 'mambabatok', from Kalinga in the Philippines.

-Happy Easter..💛

#hi! so.... I'm going to say something different today. just so you don't ““insult”” me and say that I say the same thing every year!/j #for those who don't know. both the bunny and the chocolate egg have a true and also christian meaning! #being that of the egg: “eggs symbolize rebirth and renewal. which makes them perfect for celebrating the story of jesus’ resurrection.” #and the bunny: “the animal was associated with easter because it reproduces quickly and symbolizes fertility and new life.” #(I took this two from a google search. being it in the PORTUGUESE version. so I just translated it. #if you want to look for it in real english. look for it!) #so... it's okay if you want to give someone a chocolate egg or something like that. give a stuffed bunny to a child or someone too. #because there's really no problem #not only because of the real meaning. but there is no reason not to give as a gift something that is also special for that day. #and it's also cute gifts! #just.. DON'T MAKE IT A “SORRY EXCUSE” TO NOT CELEBRATE WHAT THE HOLIDAY REALLY IS! #which is the resurrection of christ! who died on the cross for all of us. ok!? #and yeah.. well. I'm leaving! I hope you have a great day and a blessed easter!! love you all!💛 #happy easter #easter #easter art #i'm mel and this is my blog✌️ #my art blog #art #my art #my art <3 #art mel #my art style #my oc character #mel creator #resurrection of jesus #resurrection of christ #bible verse

could silent princesses go naturally extinct? or do plants only go extinct by human or animal interference? do they just need really specific growing conditions and thats why silent princesses are so rare? would they be common in a country outside of hyrule due to the geography of the theoretical country? i refuse to believe cultivating silent princesses is impossible

#listenlisten i know its supposed to be symbolic #its s metaphor. but . is that how plants work. #i need to rewatch the cutscene….. #maybe im looking way too much into it too and its fine actually but i cant stop thinking about it #i refuse to believe growing silent princesses or starting a garden like that is impossible #besides what constitutes asbthe wild #for zelda its being free of her power and responsibility and her royalty ‘duty’ #for the flower what constitutes as wild soil vs nonwild soil #there could be symbolism that the castle pollutes the soil around it #or that the soil around the castle is like. Hand Made for certain flowers but discards the rest #like fertilizer or gmo but for soil. but thats not even close to actual canon

chicken-or-the-egg remains the most overpowered idea. it simply continues to be too effective and have too many use cases to compete with

#simple to understand flexible potent and widespread #yet unsexy enough that it doesn't become the symbol in and of itself #adding that extra step for your brain to feel smarter and add more texture and flavour like the crinkle in a chip #but also it contains Egg which is so rich and fertile for different ideas

Happy bunny day

The day where we celebrate breeding Jacob Alden like a bunny rabbit

He is risen (dick)

#The day where breed Jacob Alden like a bunny rabbit #The eggs symbolize what I plan to fertilize #Jacob my darling #Jacob Alden #Idk if I want to tag this with the game

Consciousness is alluring. The truth and the core self are like a lover undressed; you know only you will see them this way, and that when the world looks on they will see creases in fabric and face, a friend, an option. But you, when you trace your hands upon that true reflection, will know the rawness of skin and the taste of flesh that will linger through every moment you are away, and your internal eyes will forever be imprinted with their sweet perfume that only you know they wear in bed.

#necessary context that this is nondualist concept shiva and not person/deity/power of nature shiva #there are many shivas in my work. sorry for the confusion. #spiritual art #symbol: shiva #there are too many symbols in this to tag #symbol: plants #youre getting a catch all tag bc im not tagging every plant i ever use in art. its jasmine and angels trumpet here #green sections of the border are collectively. to summarise. raw organic fertility and the physical world and body #and then the red parts are sexuality and the mental world. both are about receptivity and activity and the union of both #gold ring is the ring around a black hole. the dancing lights of the external appearance (mental material and everything in between) #and the allure of impermanent reality emanating from the black unknown of Truth #anyway. thats the main stuff. other stuff like waters of the mind implying reflecting on a surface and uhhhh blue of the hair being #the waters flowing outwards are kinda... the last big things before the rest goes into subjective stuff #like the rain and water cycle references

yk when u put down and book series for a moment and forget about it and then u have to go back and reread before continuing bc u forgot everything? that is my current conundrum

#i read spring snow abt a year ago and i wanna read the rest of the sea of fertility series but i forgot a lot of spring snow #and ill have to reread #but i also know that im going to remember things as i read but not enough to continue on #also bc it feels like doing the series a disservice to not fully read it through again so i can catch all the - #symbolism and stuff #im excited but also yk how it is #i mean what a privilege to get to forget a good book and reread it #but sometimes the way i remember things momentarily before they happen irkkksss me

Shidou terrifies me. His general vagueness 99% of the time which then switches into devout adoration and obsession about his family/children... it's REALLY hard to read the guy because I don't know what's real and what's fiction with him. I'm nervously anticipating trial 3 Shidou with my back to the wall and a frying pan in my hand - just in case we gotta whack him out of some medical god complex stupor.

#capri talks #i love his complexities but it also sends a chill down my spine #something about his idealism/naivete when answering to be 'promised an unchanging tomorrow'... then I look at all the fucking pomegranates #those pomegranates are HAUNTING me istg. Fertility and immortality symbolism going through the fuckjgn ROOF #what if you wanted children so bad you pushed your wife to the point of ill health. what if huh *I get banned from the milgram community* #<- i have no basis for this other than abstract suggestion/imagery. however if there is more to his crimes I think that's a possibility #I *must* get around to writing an analysis they're so much fun to put together aaaa #milgram #shidou kirisaki #I truly have gone off the deep end tonight

south asian ppl being positive abt snakes > every culturally christian mf who uses “snake” to mean a “sneaky, scheming person”

#its so sad to see the snhate #also its so funny and annoying when its a new age idiot who talks about chakras and the kundilni. just like. no awareness that calling ppl #snakes obviously derives from christians demonizing those exact types of spirital beliefs which have dharmic origins need i remind you #since new age idiots seem to fuckin forget #you cant just. talk abt the kundilini and then be like 'snakes bad' get out of here nerd #go back to christianity already #proving yet again that new age shit- while somewhat disconnected from christianity- is still far too infected by it to act like its not #part of its core beliefs. id argue the majority of it is christian actually just with other hints of other religions tied onto it. #other religions none of them care to actually understand or try to respect #like if u really wanna know snakes are a symbol of fertility and sexuality and rebirth and precision. but whatever. #ALSO of shapelessness
