last one!
the watercolor-style one was the result of wanting to do something different, and this was the result of wanting to do something in the same style as all the others: a portrait in formal clothing holding a flower
amur adonis is a flower that sometimes gets used as a new year decoration in japan because of its auspicious golden color and winter blooms. its meaning is sad memories and eternal happiness

                                                 To see a World in a Grain of Sand                                                    And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,                                                Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand                                                           And Eternity in an hour.
The beginning of the poem, in essence there isn’t much to look into it other than what it’s said. However, it holds a deep meaning if analyzed in depth. In order for the explanation to make more sense than if I were to do otherwise, I’ll start with the last two lines and move from there to the top. We have two strong notions here which are Infinity and Eternity: the former is a measure of space while the latter is a measure of time. The author urges us to have these two abstract notions in a much smaller measure of space and time respectively.
A first direct parallel we can draw from this is the final cutscene of Imperatrix Umbrosa Act II, when we witness Makoto’s last shred of consciousness about to fade away. In actuality, she says an interesting quote verbatim: 
Eternity [limitless, unknown measure of time] stretches time into infinity [limitless, unknown measure of space], dreams illuminate each moment [regardless of their duration, it encompasses all measure of time: every second] within. When both (eternity and dreams, one would encompass the limitless time while the other would encompass that which every ounce of time is filled with) shine in unison, the Sacred Sakura blooms from the darkness. Finally free from the clutches of the Heavenly Principles.
And before this, she says:
The miracle tree that blesses the people, in this moment new to the world and yet to be known. When to plant it, where it shall bloom... She who it into being must let her heart and dreams decide.
Why am I bringing this to your attention, you may ask? It’s because context-wise, we’re standing in a realm of consciousness that timeline wise suggests that the Sacred Sakura wasn’t planted yet even though we know it’s right there in the material world. And even before this, when the Traveler returns to the realm of consciousness before the final showdown between Ei and the Raiden Shogun, the latter both believed that it’s been centuries since they started to fight until the Traveler came back.
This leaves us with the idea that time doesn’t matter. As well as space doesn’t. Ei is coaxed to let her heart and dreams decide before planting the seed, but why her heart and dreams? If we’re to look deeper into it, dreams are an abstract manifestation of one’s wishes, something that can turn from abstraction to tangible reality. Meanwhile the heart represents the willpower to make it happen, to make it become true. In this case, if Ei’s dream consisted of seeing the Sacred Sakura on the top of Mt.Yougou at the Grand Narukami Shrine, her will was the final piece to let it happen.
So returning once again to the concept of time and space in this realm of consciousness: we may refer to eternity to the abstract idea where time measure doesn’t matter— we know that time passes, but how much or how fast it passes isn’t important. In a place where the notion of eternity is literal, regardless of the incoherence that its bloom brings from the perspective of a lineal timeline (the tree was there since hundreds of years, but its seed is planted at a later time), the tree can be brought to life anytime. As for space, we’re starting off from a realm of consciousness, the location of the tree’s birth is an abstract place that it’s being transcended into a more tangible location that is the Grand Narukami Shrine. In view of this event, we can go back to the first four lines of the poetry and take them in order to interpret them as: 
[You can] see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wild flower [IF] [you] hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour.
The reason you would be able to see such big notions as a world and a heaven in smaller, arguably unimportant solid manifestations like a grain of sand and a wild flower is because you can make it happen via dreams. Just like Ei was able to make the Sacred Sakura bloom when and where she wanted through her dreams, she made it possible through the will of her heart to make it manifest into a tangible reality.
Tumblr media
PS: There is an arguably more straightforward and recent incident where time and space don’t matter which is none other than Kazuha’s domain in the GAA event. His domain [a specific location] is a trip down memory lane that potentially encompasses several years of his life even though it takes the group (presumably) less than a day to witness. In such a short timespan, not only they saw an amount of several years worth of memories, but the space around them warped and was given shape and form according to what these memories looked like despite being technically in one same place, a domain.

anyway i think that after s5 it takes a few years at most for georgie and melanie to have a horrendously messy breakup, which is not the start or end of the epic Internet Personality Drama surrounding both of them by that time
#i think some of the cult members try to defend either or both of them and that only makes it worse#bc at least one cultist has been disillusioned and gone very vocally ex-cultist and their posts about the cult are being cited in callouts#i think theres a schism and i think melanie and/or georgie being like 'guys we were not super comfortable with the cult in the first place'#does not help and i think theres video essays being made by at least one person whois making updates as more stuff comes out about the#magnus institute and why the fearpocalypse happened and that regardless of how much any one person could be blamed for any of it and the#fact that georgie didnt even work for the institute she and melanie are the ones with any real degree of internet presence that are#still around after the unfuckening happened. i dont even think what the ghost is a very popular podcast but Any social media presence is#now something to be mined by people looking to place blame on anyone even tangentially associated with The Fucking Apocalypse happening#this whole thing and the lack of other people (cough jon) around to use as a scapegoat anymore makes their respective#denial and blame-assignment algorithms clash and then having to actually reflect on their own behaviors including the fucking cult they#didnt ask for and couldnt disband yet benefitted from regardless and which put themat least nominally in a position of authority/power over#others also trapped in a supernatural torment nexus (sound familiar anyone) makes things A Little Uncomfy to say the least

Partnerships and cooperation for water and climate change.
The cross-sectoral nature and interdependence of water and climate change with other vital natural resources, such as land or energy, can create more opportunities for partnerships and cooperation.
Accelerating action through partnerships and cooperation between water and climate stakeholders can create additional benefits to freshwater ecosystems and to the most exposed and vulnerable people, reducing disaster risks, delivering cost savings, fostering job creation and generating economic opportunities.
This requires improving existing partnerships and, in some cases, forging new ones at all levels, from local, national, basin to global, through multi-stakeholder processes. Research and learning institutions, the private sector, and civil society, including youth, women and marginalized groups, play a key role and support efforts to underpin effective government leadership and action.

I think my favorite thing about Katya/Sofia is the way that, in their final scenes, they end up thematically switching places with one another in how they're set up as foils to one another through the rest of the film
Sofia, who starts off beholden to no one in terms of loyalty, family connections, patronage, etc; who to Katya represents a (very idealized) notion of freedom that she envies but can't access - ends up leaving with the collection of her mother's belongings that she was finally able to buy back (which does incidentally include a watch, where she hadn't been associated with that motif much up until then!). It's a better ending than most (since she, y'know, lives), but even then she's still fundamentally unfulfilled, because the ties she developed to Katya, the ones she wanted to maybe start building a life around, have been irreparably severed.
Meanwhile, Katya has been the nexus of so many personal ties of obligation through most of the film, even as she resents what they've contorted her life into. But she makes her ultimate decision to betray Goncharov and the goals she'd been helping him toward up until then, as a selfish one for nobody else's benefit, giving up the life of prestige she had/was close to having so that she wouldn't be emotionally tied down by the relationship they once had, the system of connections and favors and debts she came from. (Incidentally, this is why I think her plan was to fake her death, even if it's left ambiguous in the actual scene; what else could be a more complete severing of connections that would allow you to become a new, unburdened person entirely?) The fact that she's not thinking of Sofia as affected by her decision, because she's not thinking of her as a part of that same web of connections, is what makes that unintentional second betrayal so tragic! But even so, it means she ends in a place similar to what we first see as Sofia's position - independent and able to make her own way in the world, but having sacrificed something she didn't realize she'd miss for it, until after the deed was already done.

Something that I think is kind of interesting about Rise is how the characters colours will sort of appear within the backgrounds of some episodes.
Tumblr media
An example of this is how during the episode 'Battle Nexus New York' the word 'photo' on April's camera is in the colours that have been associated with Splinter & the Turtles but something else interesting about the Turtle's colours appearing is that the colours seem to be in the order that some people believe the Hamato Clan lost each other during Casey Junior's original timeline & this order of Raph, then Donnie, then Mikey & then finally Leo kind of seems to almost repeatedly show up throughout the series.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
During the episode 'The Clothes Don't Make the Turtle' the stereo speaker keeps changing between the Turtles colours going from Raph's colour's, to Donnie's, to Mikey's to Leo's as it's colours changes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And the order also appears again during the final episode 'Rise' when we see the Hamato Clan's Ninpo appear with Raph's Ninpo appearing before Donnie's, then Mikey's & then Leo's Ninpo appearing.
Tumblr media
Something that I also kind of noticed is that towards the end of the Rise movie the order also kind of appears but in reverse with the heart representing Leo being first, then Mikey's, then Donnie's & then Raph's which kind of makes me wonder if it is possibly symbolic of how the Turtle's have changed not only the future but their own original fate as well.

Love and Deepspace: The Story So Far Part 1
A summary of everything that has happened in the main story thus far. Obviously, spoilers below the cut.
See Part 2. Part 3. Part 4.
2048 Story begins with MC being initiated as a Hunter in the Hunter's Association. MC is about 21-22, and her Evol has to do with Resonance, Anhaunsen Class. Rafayel is (probably) 24, Fire Evol. Zayne is 27, Ice Evol. Xavier claims to be 23, Light Evol. Traceback II is approaching the event horizon and entering the black hole.
Day 1: (Wednesday, Likely July 1st, 2048)
MC meets Xavier on her first mission as a Hunter in an abandoned protocore research facility. He is in a trap set for him, surrounded by light Wanderers. MC helps him defeat them.
MC is accepted into Captain Jenna's Alpha team. Tara is accepted into Data Analysis, whose Captain is Andrew.
MC meets Rafayel briefly at a fishing game in Azure Square near the Hunter's Association HQ. He catches a red Flammula from Lemuria corner, and she gives it to him to take home. (Cell phone shows appointment reminder. Time currently 18:15 on Wednesday, appointment at 18:30.)
MC has a doctor's appointment with Zayne. He has just returned from a trip to the Arctic.
MC returns to her apartment. There is a storm outside. She has a call with Caleb and talks about how they plan to have dinner with Grandma Josephine at the end of the month. After the call, she encounters a strange glowing eye that vanishes outside her apartment window that night.
Day 2 (Likely Thursday, July 2nd):
The next day, MC has her first day on the Alpha team at UNICORN HQ. Nero is one of her teammates and has extensive knowledge of Wanderers. He begins to look into the eye she saw. MC is assigned her first solo mission: to find out if there are Wanderers in the home of Henry Raymond.
On the way to Raymond's house, MC finds Zayne with his car broken down. He is Raymond's doctor and MC agrees to give him a ride there on her motorcycle.
At Raymond's house, MC discovers a strange painting that shows her a vision. Then she and Zayne fight a Wanderer. Raymond is sent to the hospital and the painting is taken for further investigation.
Back at HQ, MC learns the painting was done by Rafayel.
Day 3 (Likely Friday, July 3rd):
MC gets an appointment with Rafayel's agent Thomas and goes to meet him at Rafayel's studio the next morning.
Thomas directs her to Mo Art studio, where Rafayel lives. She questions him about the painting and they fight a Wanderer in his house. Rafayel says that as payment for the information he gives her, he'll hire her as his bodyguard.
While MC is on the way home on the subway, it is attacked by a Wanderer. Captain Jenna sends Xavier to be her backup. Xavier says she doesn't need backup.
(That night??) MC is sent to investigate an abandoned protocore research facility in a No Hunt Zone where a stele has been discovered. When her partner doesn't show, she goes alone and finds Xavier apparently comforting a Wanderer. The Wanderer explodes. Xavier examines the remaining protocore and once he determines it isn't what he was looking for he crushes it. Xavier confronts MC and after realizing her ankle is injured, tells her she should leave. He says that the forest consumes people. She refuses to leave, and after he has cleared out many Wanderers, he returns and decides to help her leave. After walking for a while and dealing with some Wanderers, they find the stele, the Flux Nexus. There is an Aeonwrym, the most dangerous of Wanderers, being reconstructed by Metaflux from the stele. With Xavier’s guidance, MC resonates with the Flux Nexus, unlocking it and causing the Aeonwyrm to dissipate. A unique protocore is revealed. Xavier concludes that someone was trying to resurrect the Aeonwyrm. After being swarmed by Wanderers, Xavier ports them to a safe location. After examining the protocore, he says that it has been tampered with by Onychinus. Xavier leaves, saying she should be able to get out safely now. They are being watched by a mechanical raven.
Day 4 (Likely Saturday, July 4th):
MC remembers running to escape during the Chronorift Catastrophe. She senses a powerful force about to burst from her heart. Something that looks like a glowing red moon descends in front of her, flickering. It appears to be blinking at her.
The day after being in the No Hunt Zone with Xavier, thinking about her nightmare the night before, MC heads to HQ. She finds Xavier being interviewed on the street by aggressive journalists. He asks her to help him get away from them. They go to HQ for a post mission briefing with Captain Jenna. During the briefing, MC learns that Onychinus has been altering the protocurves of protocores to make them more powerful. However, the protocore MC just found is on a level not seen before. Jenna suggests that MC begin investigating Onychinus aND the Flux Nexus, as she has the ability to unlock them. Then she tells MC to take 2 days off work. Afterwards, MC and Xavier talk. She realizes his desk is the one next to hers. When she asks him who he thinks she should partner with, he says she should refuse the mission. He explains that getting involved with Onychinus is complicated. MC is just more interested. Xavier requests that if she does take on the mission, that she choose him as her partner.
Day 5 (Sunday, July 5th, per in-game information):
MC goes home to visit Grandma. She is surprised to find Caleb there a day early. While eating dinner, the news says there have been mysterious explosions caused by Wanderers occurring. The MC's Hunter's Watch picks up on Wanderers nearby. She goes out to explore and Caleb follows. After he goes into a store, she investigates the area and finds a suspicious man. He sounds older than he looks. He attacks her with his Evol and disappears. Then Caleb reappears, asking what happened. He realizes she's been injured and they argue. Once they get back to the house, Caleb goes in ahead of her. The house explodes. MC comes back to consciousness on the ground surrounded by flames. On the ground in front of her is the necklace she gave Caleb. On it is an apple charm and the words “When U Come Back”.
Continue to Part 2.

If you want to answer, I have some questions for the footsquad au bc it seems so cool.
Is there any romance?
Will we get to see splinter in this au?
Do the boys still love Lou jitsu?(bc Cassandra was oblivious but foot lieutenants knew his movies)And do the boys retain any of their old interests.
And are they all the same ranking within the foot? Bc the show made some jokes about the hierarchy and one of the positions was like toe or something lmao. So I’m curious if any outrank each other or Cassandra or even where April falls!
April was kind of a sister to the turtles in the series. Is it still like that or has the dynamic shifted or changed in some way?
I feel like this is a lot but I just really like the idea of this au. Hope you have a good day!
Ah yes!!! I would!!! Love to!!! I love talking about my AU's hehehe.
Is there any romance?
Perhaps.
Tumblr media
Will we get to see Splinter in this AU?
We absolutely will! He plays a fairly significant role! He currently lives alone and as inconspicuously as possible in the Hidden City. He has no idea that any of his sons survived the lab explosion that mutated him, but he may or may not end up running into someone at some point who happens to be familiar with them...
Do the boys still love Lou Jitsu? Do they retain their old interests?
Absolutely! Punch Chowder is their collective favorite. They have had many movie nights with Lt. and Brute in the past and probably will continue to do so in the future! Casey doesn't really get their obsession (they're good, but not that good,) but has watched all the movies with them anyway. The boys do have a lot of the same interests! But... slightly to the left? Mikey still loves art and graffiti-- New York is littered with the Foot Clan's symbol, which doubles as his tag. Raph still loves wrestling, and he usually gets his fix by visiting the Battle Nexus to watch competitors tear each other limb from limbety-limb. Donnie still loves tech and science, though with a lot more mystic elements mixed in. And the Foot Clan doesn't mind if he makes bombs! They even encourage it! :)
Are they all the same rank in the Foot?
More or less! They're all still young and relatively low ranking amongst the organization. Casey is the 'leader' and is considered in charge of the rest of them, but that basically went kind of like this:
Tumblr media
If you were to organize them by rank, it'd go Casey -> Raph -> Everyone Else, with most of the rest of the clan above them, save for other, newer recruits. That being said, the turtles sort of hold a special, unofficial 'rank' given that they've been with the clan since infancy, and this unspoken status also extends to Casey and April (to an extent) by association.
April was kind of a sister to the turtles in the series. Is it still like that or has the dynamic shifted or changed in some way?
Kind of! They're all definitely still super close, but they met April much later in life than they did in canon. April also had to go through a huge adjustment period when she ran away from home and joined the Clan (duh) which led to their relationship being a tiny bit volatile/strained for a period of time until she settled in. (April also ended up growing very close with Casey during this time. The brothers have been with the Foot for basically their entire lives; this has always been their world. But Casey remembers when she first joined the Clan. She had to adjust, too.) They all definitely consider her their best friend and would do just about anything for her. And if you asked the boys if they have a sister, they'd still say yes-- and then they'd point you towards Casey.

We have to create culture, don't watch TV, don't read magazines, don't even listen to NPR. Create your own roadshow. The nexus of space and time where you are now is the most immediate sector of your universe, and if you're worrying about Michael Jackson or Bill Clinton or somebody else, then you are disempowered, you're giving it all away to icons, icons which are maintained by an electronic media so that you want to dress like X or have lips like Y. This is shit-brained, this kind of thinking. That is all cultural diversion, and what is real is you and your friends and your associations, your highs, your orgasms, your hopes, your plans, your fears. And we are told 'no', we're unimportant, we're peripheral. 'Get a degree, get a job, get a this, get a that.' And then you're a player, you don't want to even play in that game. You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that's being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.

Got my latest Morrowind mod finished up!
Items in tombs will be identifiable as grave goods by most merchants, provided they're obvious/valuable enough. Some dried leaves or an old dagger? Unlikely to result in a second glance. Some nice gloves? Maybe if somebody gets a good look. Grandma's prize battleaxe? You monster!
Detailed trust system for how people react to your misdeeds. A total stranger shows up with something which might be stolen? And they're an outlander? Report them immediately! But the head of your guild just showed up, you're buddies, I think we can let that slide. They probably have a legitimate reason to be pawning your great uncle's belongings anyway, they do work for the temple after all.
Configurable elements. Adjustable value thresholds for what is considered identifiable as grave goods, what is obviously grave goods to the naked eye, and the criminal penalty associated with graverobbing. The additional taboo for attempting to sell bones taken from a tomb can also be disabled, as well as a reminder when entering a sacred tomb.
A wide variety of dialogue additions, including integration with NPCs during certain vanilla quests related to ancestral tombs. Surrender your grave goods to a guard for a reduced fine if you like, just note that some may react more strongly than others!
The immediate impact is relatively low, but it's one of those things you can leave on in the background and feel lightly immersed knowing that somebody out there might actually hate you for stealing grandma's good china.
This is a MWSE mod so it isn't compatible with OpenMW, but if you're doing a meaningfully modded, non-MP run then I really highly recommend not using OpenMW until there's lua script parity, MWSE is capable of too many cool things to turn down. Wink wink.
Spurred by a suggestion post by @profanetools about 3 weeks ago, followed by a few days of initial fiddling, a couple of weeks of "Oh, when will the fey mood kick in and make me work on this really hard" followed by a week of... The fey mood kicking in.
(Done as part of the Morrowind May Modathon, in which mods are mostly made in May)
OH ONE THING:
I didn't have time to do like, hours of play with this installed. If it does weird shit you don't expect it to, please let me know! I fully expect there be some tombs where you DON'T want things to be tagged, or where some SPECIFIC things should be left untagged. Please report them! Either on the nexus comments page or message me on here.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY ONE AND ONLY: RYDER 🖤
From Thyjs (with love).
[NC_RES]_00001331 mercs_de_wit_scharfenberg_birthday_010_TGA_HW.file ///core:_black_camo.file\\\
⚠️ READ: Please do not repost/reupload any of my art here or to any other platform, or I will be forced to do anything to get it annihilated.
What to say? 1. I'm happy. 2. I love them. 3. They love each other. 4. Thyjs learned baking skills (he's waaay ahead of the other boys). 5. And Ryder loves his idea of using lollipops (Thyjs has no clue about that yet what Ry usually associates with it).
I'm fine. Just melting a little. My stress about this set is gone. I live in peace now (for a few hours).
OKAY.
In reality? I had no idea what to 'gift' Ryder. For Thyjs back in July it was clear to me as day to gift him a new knife because he lost half of his equipment on the mission he came to the NUS for. But Ry? No clue. He's got everything as he got some quality standards and all the must haves. So there is nothing to gift him, other that a sweet gesture like time with his loved one … who baked a cake. The Halloween props popping up on Nexus just a few days prior finally let me do this set. Other than that I would have made just smooch pics only.
Ofc Thyjs never learned to bake a cake, but my hc is now he watched how to bake this cake, and given for a first try he did pretty well! And ofc Ryder likes it, he appreciates it all the way and this is just so sweet of him he's done that — Ry cannot express his surprisement and happiness like others do, tho, so yeah short thanks but then he shows him through a kiss how thankful he's and that he values his partner so much <3
Also yes, war machine Thyjs appears to be a real cutie in private. It's so amusing for me to look at badass VP with him and then I do these lil' stories from time to time and you just see the 'behind the scenes' of them how they truly are what my real VP pics probably never tell if you are just scrolling by. Thyjs is a Cancer who keeps his shell always on, only in private and with Ry he does show his softness.
Anyway, I talk too much. Celebrating my German Dude now! <3
Also sorry for no real Halloween themed posts because I was entirely busy to get his b-day stuff done with too less time. I totally forgot about Halloween tbh. My mind was like this: "rydersbirthdayrydersbirthdayrydersbirthday".

[I.D. A redesign of Splinter from ROTTMNT as a ferret mutant. He is shown in two mirrored versions of the same post, a full body drawing at a three quarters angle. In the first one he's facing to the left, smiling slightly, and holds his arms in front of him in the t rex arms position, his tail curled downward behind him. He is somewhat chubby. His face is mostly grey, but he has a dark brown, mask-like patch of fur that circles both his eyes, and his hair is gathered into a bun held in place with a hair pin. He has pale yellow eyes, a light pink nose, and a small notch in his right ear. At his jawline, his fur transitions from grey to dark brown. His body is mostly covered in dark brown fur, except for lighter patches on the backs of his arms and legs and the top of his tail. In the second drawing, he faces to the right, wearing a reddish brown robe with yellow trim and a red circular flower design on the left side of the chest. From this side, his hair pin has the shape of a dagger hilt. End I.D.]
This is a project I've been planning for a little while, but I finally got around to my splinter redesign! I've never particularly liked drawing his canon design (and I don't care for some of its associations), so it was nice finally getting a chance to draw him as something other than a rat lol. I'm currently planning to make this design canon to my fics, actually, which I think will be fun.
Anyway, here's some lore specific to this version of Splinter, as a ferret:
Rather than a pet rat in the Battle Nexus, he had a pet ferret. It was a sort of emotional support animal and it was actually allowed by Big Mama, but she used it as a way to manipulate/control Lou Jitsu. He may or may not have had it with him when the gargoyles took him to Draxum, I haven't quite decided
He has a different hairstyle from canon! This is 100% because I saw a girl at school with a hairpin shaped like a dagger and thought it would be cool lmao
He has plenty of other hairpins I just like the idea of him using an actual weapon to hold his hair out of his face and everyone thinks its an aesthetic choice lol
The reason the turtles wear masks is because as kids they all thought their dad's face markings were the coolest thing ever and wanted to imitate it
If you have any questions or art requests for this version of Splinter, send them my way! I need the practice so I can get more familiar with drawing him lol
