@illuminatedcomics posted this wonderful piece again, so I’m feeling like making a post about Sang’A’Sangrruah, one more character from my stories, and lots of stuff related to her! Buckle up, that’s gonna be a huge post!

This character was born in 2011, when I decided to put a pair of tights not on my butt but head…

Back then, I was experimenting a lot with self portraits and collages, putting on makeup and wrapping myself in random pieces of clothing. Another day, a trio of characters was born, named then the Blood Moon Princess and her Chancellors. Years later, they all were given more names - the princess became Sang’A’Sangrruah, and the chancellors became Rato and Nilo.

I draw Sang’A’Sangrruah with facial features pretty close to my own ones as a homage to my younger self, while chancellors eventually lost their feminine appearance, becoming androgynous, as it seems more fitting for them, as they are not quite human.

Rato from 2012 on the left, and the most recent drawing of both chancellors.

From the very beginning, Sang was a patroness of those who are lost and somewhat lunatic. In 2011 the main character of the stories was a veteran pilot Claudius Rabe, who lost his mind when he came back home from war. He couldn’t adapt, so he left his homeland, crashed his aircraft trying to win a sky duel with the other ace while being ungodly drunk, wandered the world, and eventually got terribly corrupted by the crepuscular magic. Rationality isn’t Claudius’s strongest side… So, Sang was guiding Claudius on his thorny path to complete mental descension. No, not pushing him, haha, he was rolling down that hill perfectly fine on his own, but rather trying to soothe the man who didn’t understand wtf is going on.

The other character closely related to Sang is Fritho. They are the same age (ancient af), but Sang is still kind of alive, while Fritho was killed and risen back when they both were very young. You could call them colleagues, since they both are somewhat guides. Fritho helps those who wander the dreamscapes, mostly visioners, the wielders of crepuscular magic. Sang guides those who got lost, but, unlike Fritho, she leads nowhere. She’ll be around forever if you want her to, but it’s a dead end. She can only reach the late dreams, those that decay. Fritho will bring you to the way out of the labyrinth, but as soon as you recognise the road, you are on your own.

Here’s Fritho from 2009, and the most recent piece including him and Sang.

Here’s one more portrait of Sang’A’Sangrruah, but I’m hitting the 10 image limit of the mobile app, so I’m considering this a sign I should stop for now. I’ll make more posts like this later. :)

what’s blue, has multiple... 'layers' and... has a connection with a dendro archon? (hint: it may or may not be some kind of vegetation, or a guy with a very subjective personality) [wanderer x reader]

summary: the mysterious guy doesn't have a name, so you try and come up with one for him

genre: fluff(?), crack (no prns)

a/n: reader is a lil ditzy(i based reader off my genshin oc sorry lmao), my jab at trying (keyword: trying) to be funny, wanderer is kinda a dick but when is he not? ending is also kinda lame womp womp

“but if i had to give you a name, what would you want to be called?”

“like i said before, i don’t care what you call me. are you hard of hearing, or do you just not pay attention?”

“this guy truly was something else.” you thought. “not dressed as a sumeru native, having a really rude grumpy personality and now he won’t tell you his name, because he doesn’t have one? is this guy serious?”

“fine then! what about…” analysing his appearance once more, your eyes widened as something clicked in your head. “wait! hold on, you know what you remind me of?” perking up at him. you could already tell that he was going to be annoyed by what you were going to tell him. he let out a sigh, “what do i remind you of?”

“you remind me of some of sumeru’s native plants!”

“…what?” 

“your whole colour scheme is blue! and some of sumeru’s native plants are blue! i can call you rukkhashava, because you look like rukkhashava mushroom! no wait- what about kalpalata? because of the petals- but wait! the petals of a nilotpala are really pretty…i could call you nilo- no, nevermind, someone is already pretty popular with that name…” complete silence from him. you didn’t even notice his blank stare due to your rambling. 

the way you talk about it makes it sounds like you’ve make the biggest and greatest discovery in all of teyvat. right now he feels as though a floating fungus would have more brains than you. well, he guess it was a change from people calling him ‘hat guy’ all the time-

“i can’t decide on what i wanna call you… oh well, for the time being, i’ll just call you ‘hat guy’!” anddd there it was. he scoffs and rolls his eyes at you.

“hmph, whatever.”

“humans are never the most creative creatures, are they?”

NICO

.*𓆩♡𓆪⸸･ﾟ “the red flags are big but so is my dick” :)

𓆩♡𓆪.SEX: god male

𓆩♡𓆪.SEXUAL ORIENTATION: yes

𓆩♡𓆪.SPECIES: demon? incubus prince? sex machine? the name you'll be screaming tonight? a nuisance for sure. Half demon prince, half human

𓆩♡𓆪.NAME: Niccolo Cifarelli

𓆩♡𓆪.NICKNAMES: nico, nilo, "the angel of art department", nicky, asmoday, the son of asmodeus, your highness

𓆩♡𓆪.OCCUPATIONS: prince of second circle of hell (lust), art student and a barista

𓆩♡𓆪.AGE: 246-ish

𓆩♡𓆪.BIRTHDAY: 6/9 nice (6th september)

𓆩♡𓆪.HOMETOWN: hell/woods in Italy

𓆩♡𓆪.HEIGHT: 195 cm

𓆩♡𓆪.APPEARENCE:

𓆩♡𓆪.EYECOLOR: Nico's eye color changes accordingly to his emotions, thats why he hides his eyes with glasses or his hair. Usually they are blue with brown hues, but can have hints of purple when he use his demonic powers, when he's angry or feeding himself with sexual energy, blood or flesh.

𓆩♡𓆪.HAIR: thick dark hair that cannot decide if it's black or dark brown, wavy and fluffy.

𓆩♡𓆪.BODY INFO: Nico's body is ripped. he use a lot of his time working out and carrying weight, art equipment and stones or clays since he likes sculpting. all that activities helped to turn him into a very strong guy. He also enjoys deadlifting and helping his dad with mechanics when he's fixing up cars.

𓆩♡𓆪.SKINCOLOR: Nico has a tanned skin thanks to the amount of time he gets under the sun helping his mother with orange harvest and sketching people.

𓆩♡𓆪.ABOUT NICO: son of asmodeus himself and a human woman. his mother died in Triora centuries ago being judged as a witch, when in fact she was just a very beautiful young and intelligent woman without a husband and refunsing to marry a old man.

when nico's mother arrived in hell, the demon asmodeus was amazed by her beauty and kindness, he decided to woo her and take her as his wife. she was strangely kind even though she was in hell. Asmodeus knew that someone had probably misjudged her and sent her to hell, which at this point was a daily basis (seriously heaven/hell bureaucracy is a mess), but asmodeus didn't want to lose her and decided to hide her existence. asmodeus waited years for her to feel comfortable enough to get into a relationship and copulate with him and together they had only one child: Niccolo.

Niccolo was born human and very weak, unfortunally the infernal air was not good for his weak human lungs, he was always coughing a lot so Asmodeus took his wife and children to a wood cabin to live in the human world. years passed and despite the efforts of his mother and father, unfortunately Niccolo died at the age of 13, due to the plague and his fragile health, on the island of Poveglia, along with other infected people. Asmodeus knew that he could not interfere with his son's death, otherwise the boy could become a lost soul without memories of his life, however de demon lord had a little bit of hope that maybe his son could turn into a demon when he died.

after Niccolo's death, a search was made after all the dead souls hoping to find Asmodeus's son but without success. Nico disappeared for about 200 years until a young boy suddenly appeared in hell, looking for his parents, saying that heaven was too boring

"I really tried be a good boy, but I couldn't do anything and they were already pointing their swords at me.”

when asmodeus learned that the heavens had kept his son for all this time, he was pissed, but at his son's request nothing was done and he wouldn't declare war to heaven... this time

"it took me a long time to see you father, and I don't want to look at any angels so soon"

Niccolo was now dead, and as Asmodeus predicted, he became a demon and a refused soul (when you ascend to heaven but get kicked out). asmodeus was proud while Nico's mother was slapping his shoulders while crying after so much time without seeing her only son.

after spending time with his family, Niccolo had been given the title of Asmoday, reborning as a hell's prince, and no one demon ever speak his name again. * (please check trivia for more information)

𓆩♡𓆪.PERSONALITY: even if he's flirtatious, full of shit and sometimes mysterious, he's kind and caring, he's a goofball honestly. his demonic personality does get the best of him sometimes, he can't fight the urge of making jokes and stealing people's heart with his looks (and he will seduce you in purpose, yes) but at the same time he's also clumsy and cute.

hes the type of guy that makes every woman's heart beat fast not matter the age, the type all mother want to their daughters. the way he talks to mrs. Amelia, an old lady and his neighbor, like she's young again, it's so cute, and it's so beautiful to see her smiling and blushing because of the compliments that Niccolo has said. he knows that a little compliment makes the day of the old lady.

"Oh Mrs. Amelia, you're shining today! May I have the pleasure of your company to the train station my lady?"

Nico also enjoys his time alone, listening to music or running early in the morning, calisthenics or painting. But there's nothing he enjoys more than vacation, when he goes back to Italy and can see his parents in the human form, and pretend they are normal humans for a bit, helping his mother taking care of her farm, and helping his dad when he's messing up with old cars. that one hobbie made Nico a big fan of races, it's not rare seeing him in street racings with his white nissan 180sx and believe me, he's fast as fuck when wants to win.

Nico is like a puppy dog when in love, he'll cherish and love you, you're going to be his sun, his moon and all hi starts, he'll draw you, sculpt you and kill for you if necessary. he´s the type that would wear a "my girl is hotter tahn you" shirt and he would be proud about it, even if he's supposed to be bad, if you ask, he'll be the most loyal puppy in the world. but don't be surprised if one day you wake up with a very hungry half demon boyfriend next to you needing sexual energy. after all he's kind of the prince of sex demons and when incubus fall in love they can only feed from his beloved and oh boy he's insatiable.

𓆩♡𓆪.LIKES: playing bass, cars, sculping, oranges and tangerines, messing with cars, iced coffee with 2 spoon's of sugar and milk, cats, the smell of rain

𓆩♡𓆪.DISLIKES: flu, hospitals, extreme unhygienic people and places, blank pages, when he miss a race, pure milk (he only drinks milk with chocolate powder or sugar). Cooking (he can't cook for his life), churches

𓆩♡𓆪.TRIVIA:

names are sacred to demons, so when a demon makes himself known he is given a false name or title. Some demons are so ancient that we only know their titles. If you speak the real name of a demon, you can end up dying or you will feel enormous pain. The only ones who can speak a demon's name are those close to them or to whom the demon has made a confession (the act of telling the demons name).

can't cook for shit, but he's very good at making drinks. he work as an barista with Yao Mei.

each demon has a way of protecting its name, by telling it to everyone and putting a seal on themselves, or being so powerful that even if everyone knows it won't change anything. Or killing everyone who knows their name.

[casualnepotism]

great news for me, only: I’m thinking about my silly little au again 🙃

once again. I’m threatening everyone to not look at this I stg 🔫

The first time Sunny met Cog would have been, if she’d been in the mood to care, concerning. She’d been standing in front of their swanky apartment, popping a tiny chocolate cupcake into her mouth, when the kid had come around the corner hauling a grocery cart that had to be twice her weight. They’d exchanged greetings, Sunny’d choked on the cupcake, Cog’d given her a Yoo Hoo (and who’d known they were selling milk in chocolate form, now??), walked her back to the elevators, and they’d both waved as Sunny’d hightailed it away.

For a brief moment, Sunny’d been hit by the desire to take Cog home with her. To hand her off to The Dads and let them wipe away the kid’s resigned aura. But it wasn’t her job to save little girls who didn’t ask or pay for it, so instead she just drank her Yoo Hoo.

~~

The second time Sunny met Cog was unabashedly delightful. It was two days later, head still occasionally pounding from where the blue-faced idiot had bashed her, when she found herself face-to-face with the girl across a sticky cafe table.

They were at an ice skating rink: Sunny was pretty sure, based on the streamers and the excited-child screams, that it was someone’s birthday. Nilos was being a fuckin square about taking her job, though honestly she hadn’t even really thought he’d talk to her at all (the four hundred bucks she’d handed him was probably doing a lot of the work, to be fair), and she was starting to get pissed. Frankly, Cog slamming her hands on his shoulders and shouting “Boo!” in his ear had saved him from having to get early dentures.

Sunny was leaning back, enjoying the way Nilos flushed in embarrassment at his daughter’s slips of the tongue, when the kid turned to her. There was a beat where Cog’s eyes narrowed, flicked to Nilos, then back to Sunny. There was a beat where Sunny prepared to fight what appeared to be a pre-teen. “You’re the chick who beat up my dad!” Chick? The words were accusatory, which was fair, and Sunny was opening her mouth to respond when Cog’s face furrowed into annoyance. “And you took one of my Yoo Hoos.”

It was Sunny’s turn to look to Nilos; he looked particularly self-satisfied, like it was normal to let his daughter deal with clients he didn’t want. She rolled her eyes. “I remember you giving me a Yoo Hoo. But, yeah. Business, you know?” The accompanying shrug didn’t bother to be apologetic, just explanatory.

“Huh,” Cog looked thoughtful, leaning both her elbows onto the table and settling her head onto her fists. “So, you beat people up for money?”

“Sad, isn’t it?” Nilos’ interruption was muffled by the click of him lighting up a cigarette. Sunny squinted at him and then turned back to Cog with a grin:

“Yep. You wanna learn?”

“No,” The girl seemed to roll the word around in her mouth like a candy, thinking it over, then leaned toward Sunny. Her eyes twinkled. “So, how much would it be to beat up my friend, Millie?”

What?

“What?” This time, Nilos’ outburst wasn’t muffled, and he pushed his plate of chocolate pie over to her. “Here, look. Have some pie. Shut up.”

Delightful. Sunny’s face lit up at the two: Nilos deserved this, and Cog was just charming. She leaned forward to meet the kid, shoulder blades popping as she hunched to get level. “How much you got?”

“Thirty bucks?” Out of the corner of her eye Sunny could see Nilos trying to make a slashing motion at his throat, though it was impeded by the thick cast on his arm. She wrinkled her face, as though thinking over the offer. “But,” Cog’s eyes got big and pleading, and Sunny had to squash the urge to laugh and just agree. “It would be really easy! She’s tall, but twiggy. And really annoying. Please?”

“Well-“ Sunny’s response was cut off by Nilos dropping his cast-covered hand, complete with cigarette, between them. She flicked her eyes up to find him glowering:

“This conversation is over.”

Sunny’s eyes rolled, then creased in amusement as she saw Cog do the same. She leaned back, plucking the cigarette from Nilos’ hand as she did, and took a drag. Ew. “Come on, Bandit, we were just talking.” Another drag, watching his eyes narrow in annoyance. Good. She held up the cigarette, considering it for a moment, then leaned over and stuck it casually back in between his lips. “Whatever you’re paying for those, you shouldn’t. Fuckin disgusting.”

He glared at her, looked to Cog, and then back to her. Cog’s face, an equal mix between annoyance and something that looked almost like pride, must have meant something to him. “If I take your money, will you leave us alone?”

“Dad,” Cog sounded exasperated, even as she stuck a bit of the pie into her mouth. Her next words were muffled. “Quiet part loud. Just say you’ll take the case.”

He rolled his eyes fondly toward her, then scooped the money off the table with a glare. “Yeah, Ray, I’ll find your girl.”

“Great.” She did mean it, even if all she could muster for her tone was a vague annoyance. Sunny stuck out her hand toward Nilos, eyebrows furrowing as he ignored it in favor making sure all four hundred was present. Cog, eyes once again rolling, leaned across her father and took Sunny’s hand to shake; she yelped as Sunny grasped her hand and winked. “And don’t worry, Cog, thirty’s enough to handle your friend.”

Nilos’ answering squawked “Ray!”, and the way Cog’s face crinkled with laughter, had Sunny leaning back with the out-of-place sensation of a job well done. She grinned. This job would be fun.

#sunny/nilos the nice guys (2016) au #I’m not kidding I’m UNWELL about both them and this au #i have so many thoughts #eugh #anyway DONT look at this it’s just for me

[bayofwolves]

some general erdas headcanons

to get me warmed up for my reread! i’m sick so what else can i do.

there are tens of millions of people in all of erdas -- and that’s it. most are concentrated into cities like shar liwao and concorba. jano rion is home to the largest concentration of people in the world. it’s also the capital of the world probably.

“continent” is the only accepted term for the four major land masses; “country” is not a word there. ie: you would say “the continent of eura”, not “the country of eura”. eura, nilo, zhong and amaya are also called the great lands or the four great lands. parallels to the four fallen, everybody.

following the second devourer war, stetriol was regarded as a continent. the phrase “the four great lands” is still in use, tho, maybe because of stigma or simply because stetriol is so small.

nilo is the continent with the least amount of people. they’re all spread out, too; there aren’t a lot of big cities there. same goes for eura.

southern amaya is really desolate; almost no people live there.

zhong has the MOST people!

stetriol is home to a chilling array of giant insects and arachnids, including 20-foot-long venomous centipedes and deadly spiders growing to 10 feet tall. drina’s spirit animal, iskos, is one of these. such creatures are not found anywhere else on the planet.

white people are really uncommon in erdas lol. pretty much canon already!

racism is really not as much of a problem as it is here, there’s no colonization or slavery or anything in erdas’s history, but prejudice can arise due to the fact that people of different continents simply don’t often interact (and can be stingy when they do come into contact). people mainly keep to their own lands. euran settlers don’t exist, and immigrants are... not uncommon, but not extremely common either. as such: people of nilo are almost all black, people of zhong are almost all the equivalent of asian, people of amaya are almost all the equivalent of native/indigenous peoples in the americas, and people of eura and stetriol are almost all white. i feel like this is an overarching theme in the books, that erdas was sorta divided before the four fallen summoners, all from different backgrounds, came together and united it. like they are literally a symbol of global unity.

but anyway. i wanted to say “racism doesn’t exist!!!” cuz yay that’d be great right? but then i remembered that line in broken ground when abeke meets james; “[his] eyes dart[ed] over her cloak and face and skin”. there’s clearly a divide. this is further exemplified by the fact that mixed people aren’t common and are regarded with surprise and fascination when encountered. lol. oh fucking well.

onto the cool stuff.

erdas is a round planet like earth, and almost twice the size of it. it has four to five moons, most of which may be seen in the sky at the same time, day or night. only one sun, but it is a white/blue-white sun and considerably larger than ours. however, the planet of erdas is positioned farther away from its sun than earth is to ours, so they’re not getting cooked. and forget uv rays for a sec.

in more ancient times, moon worship was common. then the great beasts came and yada yada. people switched to worshipping them. but some cultures around the world still hold the moons sacred -- one prominent example is nilo, where moon worship originated. people in nilo believe that each moon is a goddess, and pray to them for blessings. the moons all have names, but i’ll figure those out later. each continent has different names for them (ie, nilo gave them niloan names, zhong gave them zhongese names). interestingly, the sun has a name too! the sun’s name is globally accepted, because it’s not as sacred as the moons and so people cared less about what to call it.

the sky is usually a bluish-purple, but can shift to any shade of either colour. it really depends on the time of day and the activity of the sun & moons.

astrologers have identified fifteen main constellations, likening them to the great beasts. the wolf, falcon, polar bear, ram, boar, eagle and elk can be seen in the northern sky, while the leopard, panda, lion, ape, elephant, octopus, serpent and swan can be seen in the south. i think it’d be fun if people chose different star shapes for the ape and the serpent after the first devourer war, choosing to draw them as upside-down shapes instead.

fun fact! penguins don’t exist on erdas, as there is no antarctic. 

on the flip side, there are many animal species on erdas that don’t exist on earth, water dragons among them. in ancient times, dragons walked erdas -- their bones have been discovered and some entire skeletons have been reconstructed. some had wings, some did not. some had scales, some had feathers, some had skin or fur. there was a great variety. they were beautiful and fearsome -- a shattered skull was discovered, so massive that people estimated its full size would have been larger than tellun. JUST THE SKULL! (if you couldn’t figure it out, dragons are to them what dinosaurs are to us. dinos themselves have never existed on erdas.)

speaking of tellun, i’d love to talk about the size of the great beasts because it’s my favourite thing in the world. the great beasts are, in a word, huge. their heads would be comparable to the skull of balerion the dread. no more “he was as large as a carriage” shit. they. are. behemoths.

people in erdas do have terms like year and month, but their months are not named and there is no calendar year system. when they need to be specific, erdas people will say “the first month of summer” or “the last month of autumn” and so on. in the prologue of the burning tide, kovo uses the word “moontides” to describe what i assume is months, so that’s cool. i think people started off using moontide, then kinda “modernized” into month. still, some people prefer to say moontide (abeke, anda and niri are some i can think of who would do this).

speaking of kovo, he named the evertree. yup. his description of it as “ever standing” stuck out to me. he definitely named that thing.

the wyrm hitting the evertree triggered a mass extinction, responsible for wiping out the last of the dragons. though the giants and the winged were already gone, smaller, flightless dragons were still around at the time, on land and in water. the wyrm’s impact obliterated the land dragons. the water dragons’ numbers were severely depleted, but some survived. these got progressively smaller as they mated with sea snakes and crocodiles (because that can happen!). eventually, the water dragons were gone, but their large lizard-like descendants remained. and that’s where modern water dragons like seaspray come from.

erdas is on a permanent tilt. with the south closer to the sun and the north farther away, it’s pretty much always dead of summer in nilo and stetriol. eura is stuck in a permanent spring, in arctica it’s always winter, and in amaya it varies because the landmass is so big.

empress song’s death brought about the end of imperial zhong. the continent instated a republic and would never again see an emperor or empress. they were the first great land in erdas to have a leader chosen by the people! (meilin probably carried this entire process on her back. i’m sure they wanted to elect her as their new leader, but she declined.)

at the time of the first book, it had been a thousand years since feliandor and the first devourer war.

conor is descended from katalin, abeke from tembo and meilin from yu. this makes meilin a distant descendant of tang as well! (none of them know this, except maybe meilin. she grew up hearing a lot about jhi’s distant connection to her family but didn’t give two fucks until she summoned her. meilin was heavily inspired by tales of yin. maybe one day she even retrieves the sword of tang and wields it as her own weapon, who knows!) (i think that’d be fucking badass)

shane is also descended from feliandor, but indirectly. his family stems from one of fel’s cousins, who took the throne after him.

shane and abeke’s relationship just got a little more complicated considering their ancestors were the first leaders of the conquerors and greencloaks, respectively. and tembo literally put a spear through fel.

the reborn great beasts are still growing and will one day return to their former size! they are growing with their human partners and are set to stop when they do (at around age 25). at some point they will regain the ability to speak. by the end of the transformation, they will be great beasts once again!

yeah maybe i’ll add more when i think of more. i had so many headcanons back in the day, but it’s been like six years since i touched the books.

Want to share my Egyxos headcanons with you!

In the pilot the father of Kefer and Exaton is called Amon-Ra, like ancient egyptians called the fusion of the sun god Ra and the sky god Amon, because both of them were very inmportant and popular gods. Since in the final production they renamed the character to just Ra, I imagine that there're a powerful god Amon hiding somewhere and he's Ra's best pal.

Kefer and Exaton don't have mother. I mean it literally. Like in Egyptian myths Ra created them by himself. Long time ago Ra was angry at humanity for disrespecting him, so he created Exaton out or stones and sand to punish people (similarly to original Sekhmet myth). And that's why Exaton looks so demonic and has such a hateful personality, because he was made like that (Ra regrets about that decision so much). And Kefer was made out of clay Ra collected at the Nile's riverbank during a big drought, to save the kingdom from hunger and thirst. That's why Kefer has water powers and makes sure his people get enough water (I know it was never clearly mentioned in the show, but Kefer canonicaly has hydrokinesis you can see that on his official concept art).

The stripes on Kefer's, Ra's and Exaton's arms are parts of their bodies and not the bracelets. Exaton's stripes aren't blue, because the energy he bears is impure and has a chaotic nature.

oOooOoooOOoOooH!! I love this so much!

@egyx0s-brainrot we have more headcanons!

I actually do hc that Kefer and Exaton had a mom, Hathor the ancient Egyptian goddess of the sky, women, fertility, and love. I also have a similar idea for my fics. Where Ra asked Hathor to crate from a very special clay his sons while he would give hive their life with his powers. (but yours sounds so cool)

I also have the idea of creating a new character that is going to be the First Pharao of the earth! His name is Nilo and his role is to be the guardian/Nani of young Kefer and Akenatón (Oh! and yea, in some of my AU´s, Exaton's real name is Akenatón)

About the stripes on their arms, I really don´t know what to say more than I see them as some power-level stuff or a family thing. I don´t know really.

But thank you! You can come with all the headcanons you want!!!

ILLEGIBLE’S TOTALLY SUBJECTIVE FAVORITE EORZEA COLLECTION DESIGNS | SEASON II: HEALERS

[hindisoup]

Can you do a post talking about the origination of the colour blue or (नीला)

Oh, how I love the colour blue!

So the Hindi word नीला comes from Sauraseni Prakrit and Sanskrit, where नील [nī́la] means dark blue or green and black.

In Hindi, नीला is used both as an adjective and noun and I believe it covers all shades of blue. नील in Hindi is pronounced without the final a-sound as opposed to Sanskrit. As an adjective, it means rich dark indigo blue and as a noun, it also means the indigo plant shown below.

Indigo plant Indigofera tinctoria

Both नीला and नील are thought to descend from a Proto-Indo-European root word associated with leading, excitement and shining - some have thought that the blue colour has possibly been associated with leaders or people of high status, a kin to the way purple was viewed as the colour of the Roman emperors, but according to Reddit linguistics that's debatable.

In the ancient Indian epics, नील is used to refer to various different mountain ranges. It also appears as the name of several kings, whereas नीला is used as a female given name. 

Similar Proto-Indo-Iranian roots are seen in many languages in words meaning blue or indigo:

Persian - نیل‎ [nil] Urdu - نیل [nīl] Bengali - নীল [nil] Assamese - নীলা [nila] Marathi - निळा [niḷā] Konkani - नीळो [nīḷô] Nepali - निलो [nilo] Punjabi - ਨੀਲਾ [nīllā] Gujarati - નીલું [nīlũ] Kannada - ನೀಲೀ [nīlī] Tamil - நீல [nīla] Telugu - నీలం [nīlaṁ] Sinhalese - නිල් [nil]

In several of these languages the word meaning blue doubles as the proper noun for the River Nile.

Both the English name Nile and the Arabic name النيل [an-nīl] come from Latin and Ancient Greek. The etymology beyond that isn't crystal clear, and Wikipedia describes several of them including one pointing towards नील in Sanskrit.

In fact, even before I had any idea what the Nile was in Hindi, I used to think "blue - water is blue - there's water in the Nile - नीला" to learn this word in the first place so it can't be that far off!

Thank you thank you thank you so much for this ask! 💙

Meadow Sweet | Closed

@allegxry

“I’m sure you know why I’m here..” his statement directed towards Daniel not to the other, piercing blue eyes trail over the both of them laid out in the meadow in the sun, Silas standing in front of them to block the sun from warming their skin - usually something like that would be more halo like but it’s anything but with Silas. More like a ring of fire casting oof his silhouette. “Seems something has caught your interest.” Swatting down to smile with a slight tilt of his head at the other, “Which means you’ve caught mine as well… Silas. Pleasure to finally meet you.” Holding his hand out to the date daniel was with. Daniel knows Silas won’t kill either but he has sat up a little and has moved inches closer just in case silas try’s to make any more of a move.

Nilo was happily laying against Daniel in the meadow. His head was laying on the other's stomach while the rest of his body was stretched out on the grass. They'd been there for far longer than expected, but the day was warm and glorious. Nilo had no intention of wanting to leave this lazy spot their found. His notebook full of ideas laying discarded to one side after he'd scribbled down some imagery about the meadow and an idea that came to him. But now he was just pointing out clouds that looked interesting in a sleepy state. There was nothing that could ruin this moment. Or so he thought.

The moment Silas appeared, Nilo immediately moved closer to Daniel. Sure the stranger seemed to know Daniel and seemed to talk to his partner. But something seemed off. An off he couldn't place. But what annoyed him the most was that the man seemed to completely ignore Nilo all together at the start. It made part of him desparte to get the man's attention, or at least be acknowledged. At the same time, it made him more weary of the stranger.

Those final words, you've got my attention, had him intrigued. Who was this stranger and why was he so fascinated by Nilo. More importantly why was Nilo fascinated by him in return. It the same pull he had towards Daniel. The same strange feeling he had. The same strange eeriness of death around them. He gently shock the others hand before withdrawing to grab his phone. I am not sure how I can have caught your interest when I have never heard of you, met you or seen you before. I'm also confused to how you found us here, its not like we've seen anyone walk by while we've been here. But it is nice to meet you, Silas. Nilo found himself staring into the man's eyes as he held up the phone, completely intrigued by the man. It was like he couldn't pull away.
