Buttercups and Golden Flowers

#i drew this mostly because i noticed that a lot of people mistake buttercups and golden flowers as being the same thing. #so i wanted to try drawing them like. distinctly different in the same image. #it's not a big thing but i do think the fact that they're different has some significance. or at least like. symbolic meaning. #my art #undertale #chara #chara dreemurr #safeutdr #something about the fact that they both look similar at least in color but one of them is poisonous. #the way golden flowers are clearly a positive symbol throughout the game and clearly heavily associated with Chara. #contrasted with the very negative connotations buttercups have. with asgore getting sick and chara using them in their plan. #you never see buttercups in the game. which makes it even easier to mistake the two. because we've only seen one kind of #golden/yellow flower. who's to say 'golden flowers' aren't just referring to buttercups? well. #why would there be golden flower tea if they were poisonous? why would chara want to see the golden flowers from their village if they're #the same kind of flower? they clearly have buttercups in the underground. #it feels almost intentional the way golden flowers are so easily mistaken for buttercups. or at least that the difference is so subtle. #it goes well with the way they're associated so strongly with chara who's also a very subtle yet important part of the narrative. #from a surface-level perspective the flowers that took their life and the one's they actually like/are important to them are the same thing #but when you pay closer attention to the narrative you can see the different symbolic meanings. #well. uhh I've thought about it too much don't mind me. #see i think about it from the perspective of chara being super adamant about them being two different flowers #and frustrated when anybody gets it wrong. because clearly. CLEARLY they're not the same. #'STOP confusing buttercups and golden flowers. i literally used buttercups to kill myself do you think i would still like them after that?' #'do you think i want to be associated with them? they're not the same!!' #<number one golden flower enjoyer number one buttercup hater. #i need a badge that says 'i have strong opinions about chara dreemurr because i kin them. i apologize for the wall of text' at this rate.

#genshin impact #elynas #mamere #you gotta wonder how much neuvillette knows about the nonsense going down over there in the village #n e ways I am very normal about the melusines #i wonder if elynas knows that mamere has left #his “life” from the revival is over but he was around and active before then too so #maybe it just means he's less lucid now? #my art #i hope we meet them again. all of them

I like the idea of the Toa Mata being... around when needed, but for the most part just kinda going off and doing their own thing since they're not really beholden to any rules. It's a very special thing to actually see one of the Toa chilling out somewhere

#this is kinda ignoring the fact that given the timeframe the series actually happens over #means they were likely only the mata for a few months at most #bionicle #toa #toa mata #lewa #lego #bonkle #digital #art #sketchbook #i can also see the various toa being different levels of social #like gali pohatu and tahu hanging out around their villages more #kopaka being a very rare sight on purpose and onua being a rare sight on accident #lewa i think oscillates between being really social and wanting super alone time with basically no in-between #by the time they become the nuva they become much more active role models and social figures for the matoran

Thesis: Dungeon Meshi halflings have tails in fanon because it's fun and interesting <3

Antithesis: Well, actually, according to the world guide, halflings are considered "human" in the region by social standards which require that they have a standardized "human" skeleton; you can't just add tails without fundamentally changing the complex nature of anti-halfling prejudice in their world.

Synthesis: Dungeon Meshi halflings DO have tails and we just don't see this because it's standard practice for halflings to remove them young in areas of the world where bullshit skeleton-based race science is the norm.

#dungeon meshi #see also: the world guide saying Oni often have their horns removed if they're living in human villages #it is sad to imagine chilchuck agreeing to have his daughters' tails removed even if it was a standard rite of passage... #but he is a very practical cynical guy who would want the best for them in a mean world. so. #dungeon meshi spoilers #chilchuck

listen I know this isn’t likely to happen in-universe but can you imagine Alma “playing pirates since birth” Bonnet pulling up at whatever fancy girls school they’ll send her to being like “oh your father’s a governor? Mine’s a pirate” and her ultimate most deadly weapon “and you know the Dread Pirate Blackbeard? Yeah he’s my stepdad”

#let ed interact positively with children i say! #he was trying with those kids in the village he clearly meant well #let him be a good stepdad and allow himself to believe he’s nothing like his dad at all! #he sees the kids very sparingly but they love him #he’d be the fun uncle type i think #just starts building stuff with them and telling them about the clouds and the sea #alma would love him especially #ofmd #our flag means death #stede bonnet #edward teach #blackbeard #gentlebeard

alcina. (belonging)

fem. reader

you are an angel amongst mountains of silk.

the soft of your hair rests loosely, untied or tucked, flyaways aplenty from the static of her sofa pillows surrounding your tiny, wonderful body. the nightgown you wear, deep, dark as freshly pressed wine, sits low upon your shoulders, exposing delicate, supple skin waiting, wishing to be devoured. she almost hoped you meant it a distraction, mischief hidden beneath innocence. but you watch her dress for her family meeting with earnest, curious eyes, no such gleam of trouble anywhere to be found.

alcina adored you.

“pet, don’t you have some resting to do?” she says, a trace of tease in her strong voice. she stands before her dressing mirror, catching your eyes in the reflection. her hands smooth the sides of her dress, white as snow, her tint of skin, taking pleasure in how eagerly your gaze follows. “i won’t be long, if that’s what you’re wondering.”

your chin lays tilted on the settee’s armrest, a sideways view still plenty pleasing. she feels your eyes linger on her undone face, her natural self on display. alcina pretends not to notice.

“may i help you with your makeup?” you ask.

she turns to you, shocked. her expression must betray otherwise, or be more severe than she’d realized, for you shrink back and avert your eyes away. “oh, i’m sorry, i’ve misspoken—”

alcina is quick to wave you off, tutting her apology. “my dear, you surprised me, is all. i thought you liked watching me apply.”

“i do! it’s-it’s just…” you say, blinking up at her like a cherub from a renaissance capture, sweet and rosy. “at the very least, i’d like to choose a lipstick for you, if it’s quite alright.”

there’s a familiar pull of skin, crinkles and laughlines accompanying her ardent smile. “come now, it’s more than alright.”

her powder smells of rosewater and talc. it falls like stardust upon you, landing on dolce lips and fluttering lashes.

it is commonplace for alcina to situate you on her lap as she goes about her makeup routine, a process long enough to warrant your presence being. the time is spent watching her work, holding brushes or palates for her to choose between, and the occasional touch of lips exchanged.

you know to be patient, and keep still.

with a final run of a brush over her eyelids, she seals the look of her part, taking a moment to examine herself in her vanity’s reflection. she tries not to chuckle at the way you squirm with excitement, now knowing the finishing touch was all yours to claim. she calms you with a hand brushing over your waist. with the other, she reveals to you her drawer packed full with lip colors of every kind, from the peachiest pink to the deepest violet.

“the honors, girl.”

you trace indecisive lines over bullets of every size and shape. you worry for time, shown through quivering hands, but alcina’s touch splayed across your back is patient, watchful. she’s enjoying this, your eager, careful wish of adorning her. time taken is for her sake.

you uncap a bullet to find a bright, fiery shade of scarlet.

“this one.” you decide, holding it up for her to see. “if it’s all the same to you, mistress.”

she nods an approval, then eyes you with a calm, amused smile. “you know i trust you’ll see me off best, dear.”

you swivel around in her lap, until your legs hang over her thighs, your little arms steadying yourself with the help of her wide, powerful shoulders. alcina does not miss how longingly you gaze at her décolletage, how the static white of her skin differs from yours. her large hands settle themselves upon your thighs, your nightgown exposing the soft, sensitive flesh with the lift of your movements.

she smells the heat of blood pulsing between your ribs.

“may i?” you ask, in a breathless sort of voice.

“please do, lest i arrive fashionably late.”

the gentle way you cup her face almost makes her laugh. you, with hands the size of rosebuds, your very being no larger than one of beneviento’s dolls. with concentration lacing your brow you focus on dotting her lips alight, creamy color bright against her skin. it resembles greatly the bite of blood, or the homemade wine she tastes of. it takes all you have not to lean in for one.

“you’re lovely.” you say, meek as a lamb. you click the bullet in place with a snap, holding it up for alcina to take. she does, but clasps her hand around your arm for a good while.

“such a sweetheart.” she purrs, eyes crinkling with her signature dazzle. “i won’t be long, you hear? but i still want you in bed by the time i get back. rest, rest, rest.” with the same hand alcina lowers you to the ground, paying another look at her reflection before standing upright. she watches you, raising a brow, until you scurry off and up her bed, showing your usual obedience. she has no reason to worry.

“be safe, mistress.” you whisper beneath velvet and lace.

alcina beams with a grin of pleasure. “always.”

her bedroom doors slam close behind the exit of her gargantuan being.

with a loud click, they are locked shut.

I complain about shoveling snow but that's just because it's cold and I will die of frostbite before I ever wear anything other than fingerless gloves, but the truth is that shoveling snow is really fun. I really like aggressively hurling giant scoops of frozen icy sky shit across the driveway with my bright red steel shovel. It's like the same motions as swinging my claymore just targeted at the ground

#textpost #Another downside besides the cold is that the ground is very far away and the shovel is not designed for giants #So I have to do a lot of the lifting with my legs #Which means I'm out there in like a barbarian half-squat launching snow like it burned down my village #I have had zero professional training with using a claymore sword just want to throw that out there #All I know how to do with it is swing it really hard like a baseball bat #Ok I lied I did actually figure out how to carry a baseball bat swing momentum into an overhead arc #Absolutely 100% Useless for cutting up hanging water-filled milk cartons but it feels like it looks cool and that's what matters

i'm giving guadalajara too much shit but los pueblos negros (the black villages) are genuinely really freaking cool

also! my first experience with them was through an andrea compton video, cause she is from one of these villages!!! for those who don't know her, andrea compton is one of the most belovedests spanish youtubers, one of the ogs as well and i love her very much. anyways, she lived here until high school, where she went to live with her father in my hometown lol, in suburban madrid. so. pretty big change. i unfortunately cannot find her video, she might have just deleted it at this point - i watched it at least 10 years ago - but i found what her village is if you want to look it up, it's called roblelacasa, and as of 2016 it has 22 inhabitants. i remember she told in the video that she had to go to another village to go to school, and that in said school there were 6 kids in total, of course with different ages all together in the classroom.

#guadalajara #spain #also. and i feel obligated to say this every time i talk about andrea compton or inés hernand but it's the only good thing i can say #about my hometown #but not only did she live near me. the high school she went to is the one that's next to my house. like the park in front of the hs was #the park i went to when i was a kid #which most likely means i met andrea compton and inés hernand when they were teens and i was a kid #cause all the kids from that high school also go to that park #and for those who don't knw #inés hernand is like. one of the most important people in this country i would say??? at least among young people #she studied law but she's mostly a tv presenter nowadays and she is like. extremely political extremely leftist extremely funny #i love her #well they've talked thousands of times how andrea and her met on the first day of high school and became best friends and how tehy've been #inseparable since #to think that happened next to where i live while i was living there just blows my mind lmao #and we've met andrea compton cause she's my sister's favourite youtuber like she's been following her since she was like 10 #in fact my sister was the one who showed me the video about her village #anyways we've met her twice in anime cons and also we've also met her a couple times more in concerts and stuff cause she's fan of stuff #we also love sjdsj #and every time we talk about my hometown and we know ehere her dad lives (very close to us) and she's confirmed the high school was that on #and yeah. she's very dear to my heart and i'm extremely happy everytime she gets recognition cause it's only what she deserves <3

u kno, idk if i said this here but "sylki" sounds like a women's shaving product to me. specifically a women's one, it'd be some pink thing that costs about three times as much as razors aimed at men but i'm not even sure if it is a razor, it might be some weird cream that doesn't work or an odd hi-tech gadget that doesn't work, but the point here is that it definitely sounds like the name of a product that a) is pink, b) costs too much, and c) is demonstrated in repetitive annoying ads by women who already lack body hair so why are they even using a sylki on that body part in the first place eh?

#this is of course ironic because sylvie definitely has socially-unacceptable amounts of body hair. i mean of course she does #you think she's taking time IN AN APOCALYPSE to shave the legs that are usually covered in clothing anyway?? #you think someone who's about to die would complain that their temporary and very final lover has fuzzy arms?? #TVA!Loki shaves every body part he can reach though so it balances out. if that was bothering you at all. #sylki: now available in a slightly different shade of pink! #and this is STILL not the worst shipname i can think of in under ten seconds #oh is there an avengers-fandom-style name for sylki? like... wait would it be frostfrost? can we start calling it frostfrost too? #they called thorki “thunderfrost” which just sounds like the sort of weather the news warns you about at least once every winter round here #“and a yellow weather warning applies to the glasgow area tonight due to the THUNDERFROST that's expected around 1am. drive safely!” #“six villages in the borders are without power again this morning as the THUNDERFROST continues to prevent repair work”

People always point to the NA localization for the reason why Octarians are demonized, and I do agree to some extent that the localization ruined the perception of Octarians, but I think some people are affording a bit too much credit to Octavio.

The Octarians had it hard in the aftermath of the war, losing resources and being forced underground and all. But in the modern day, that’s not an issue anymore. Inklings don’t see Octarians as a threat anymore. Heck, most Inklings can’t even recognize an Octarian on sight. The Octarians could probably come up and expand Inkopolis to fit the growing population and the Inklings would welcome them without even thinking about it. Or even just found their own city next door.

So, why then are they still living the way they are? The only reason I can think of is Octavio ruling the way that he does on purpose. Maybe he’s just stuck in his ways and butthurt about his loss, or maybe there’s some other reason. But either way, I definitely think he purposefully feeds the Octarians the idea that coexistence is not possible. Because there’s no evidence that Inkling society as a whole believes otherwise.

I know we haven’t seen many adult Inklings, but if the kids are completely nonchalant about their supposed “enemies” then I can only assume their parents and schools aren’t teaching them otherwise. Or at the very least, the youth are questioning the older values, opening the path to progressive inclusivity. Maybe Cuttlefish’s generation is still hung up on the past, but it’s made very clear in game that his views do not line up with the majority and that he is generally seen as just an old man obsessed with a “war effort” that doesn’t really need to exist anymore.

#devin speaks #splatoon #this is mainly my observations from splat 2 but i think it applies to 1 as well #i mean every time the zapfish is taken no one ever thinks of the octarians despite them being the obvious suspects #its always just huh. our power source is gone. wonder where that went #the way cuttlefish is always crying ‘THE OCTARIANS!!’ is framed very much like a village crazy lady making stuff up #even though he was right about the octarians taking the zapfish i still think thats mainly due to octavio’s rule #obviously the octarians just do what he says and i dont doubt that most of them would accept a peaceful solution if it was offered

got reminded of the "saying Arabs conquered and colonized North Africa is Zionist because obviously no one saying that coulx possibly draw a distinction between North African Arabs and Palestinian Arabs, and even drawing a distinction between Arabs and Imazighen is colonizer shit" school of thought

#cipher talk #I have seem Zionists co-opt the language of MENA Indigenous groups but MF that doesn't mean we're WRONG #It means they're stealing our talking points to appeal to more left leaning people #How is it you can recognize that they've co-opted the language of social justice and that that doesn't mean social justice is bad #Until the people YOU dispossess are mentioned and suddenly you're doing step 8 of the 8 steps of white settler colonial denial #Just like the Israelis do! #And yeah like. Some people don't draw the distinction. That's a product of intergenerational trauma and how our communities #Get manipulated by the US and shit. I've also met Arabs not from North Africa that refuse to draw a distinction #And see a discussion of how Arabs have hurt Indigenous Africans as an attack on them when it doesn't make sense to do so #I've also met a lot of people who DO clearly draw a distinction because the material conditions of Palestinians are that of Indigenity #Are your material conditions as a postcolonial North African with an Arab name and a mosque and skin that isn't black that of Indigenity? #Do you not have people with your face in the government (regardless of how shifty it is)? Did someone take your land or your churches land? #Do you struggle with employment? Is your tongue not the most common one? Are your cultural clothes looked at with distaste? #Are your girls targeted for kidnapping and rape to force them to not be of your culture? Are your women called whores who WANT rape? #Are you harassed by cops? Does the government try to take your kids because they have bullshit adoption laws? #Do your kids get arrested at 12 or 13 and almost sent a thousand miles away from home before pressure stays the order? #Is your language called feudal? Do people tell you they hope it dies soon? Is your name a barrier in your life? #Did they drown your fucking village? #Because all of these are things Copts and Nubians can say yes to #Before I even start on the shit done in the Maghreb or the fuckery about how Egypt defines 'Amazigh territory' (which is very complicated)
