@fairyhaos -- hydrangea. theres something so royal in them. and in you too, like yena u radiate this amazing energy i canr explain it lmao?? but they have diff meanings based on colot, like blue - understanding, white - purity + grace, purple - royalty etc etc and u have it all. a real angel fr!! they r just so soft and amazing <3

@wheeboo -- lavender. it may be bc of your purple theme idk LMAO but i really love lavender :D it has amazing smell, color oml i love their color and not to mention their multi-properties. and rania, u r so diverse when it comes eg to writing. i cant help but stare (read) in awe each time i pass them (stumble on my dash)

poppy i am foaming at the mouth at ur fae lore, as always tell me more

shellybellywelly ! okay , um , this is just what my rat brain came up with & honed over for years so if it doesn't pertain to your characters - or anyone's tbh - that's okay. basically , the fae is one of the oldest of creation , far more technologically advanced than we could ever dream of. from wars & mixing with other species "true fae" is dying out. super set in their ways. the fae species itself isn't exactly a monolith - there are subspecies that actually created different creatures throughout the world - but when i speak of "true fae" i mean the high fae. the royal fae. they are trick & capricious & while they can give aid to heroes they could also be someone's worst nightmare.

they , much like deities & other nature-based & ethereal creatures , have low regard for vampires or shifters ( cursed , not born. ) they find them dirty. the fae made their blood toxic to vampires as a result ; if it wasn't toxic , they could walk in the sun & weave high magic & be unstoppable. unfortunately , if one of their kind was made into a vampire or a shifter of some sort - or even a demon - & they consumed fae blood , it would not harm them , & it would give them considerable strength.

nymphs , banshee , mermaids / sirens , etc can be considered fae since they are descended from them. kitsune's are considered cousins , too. witches are rivals of the fae , but there is a lot of respect - regardless if it's a white witch or a dark witch. there is almost an unspoken rule that witches & fae cannot go to actual war with one another because they both adhere to the laws of nature. a fae , however , is known to be savants of word play so ... take that with a grain of salt.

the high fae has the ability to travel to other worlds much like the eldr blood. since it's kind of clear that sapko was inspired by fae folklore when making the aen elle , we are gonna go off that mindset. they can travel from world to world with ease. time isn't linear for them it's clay.

they are very powerful & very deadly , but they are not immortal. they live for years & years - longevity - but they will eventually die. iron is their biggest weakness. silver , too. & for a nod for my trekkie moots : chocolate makes them hella drunk / high , depending on if it's milk chocolate to dark chocolate ( the latter which will make them experience a blackout. ) since they are the world's best lawyers & use words like a contortionist would use their body , it can also be used against them. names , too. names are sacred & very powerful. if you know a fae - high fae or just run-of-the-mill fae - the true name you own them , or control them until you , the invoker , says otherwise. it's a huge crime against them so once you set them free make sure you crossed your t's & dotted your i's because they will - if they are aware they can - find a way to pay you back for taking their agency.

Hi cutie! I have a question only an Hindi person can answer... I'd like to know some idiomatic expressions for someone you deeply love, or idiomatic phrases to express that to someone you love romantically. Its for a school project (it isn't, I just found an old draft and I thought it could use some flavor)

OOOO That is so cool!! Hindi and Urdu romantic phrases hit diff I swear, here you go. Do tell me how your project went:

Meri Jaan (मेरी जान) - my life

Aankhon ka Tara (आँखों का तारा) - The star of my eyes [can be used platonically or romantically, my mum used to call me that when I was small.]

Dil ka tukda (दिल का टुकड़े) - a piece of one's heart

Ardhang/ Ardhangini (अर्धांग/अर्धांगिनी) - Used for spouse Ardhang is male, Ardhangini is female; both of which mean the half oneself-- the better half [ Ardh mean half and aag means part of a whole in sanskrit]

Chaand Sitaare tod laana (चाँद सितारे तोड़ लाना) - to bring the moon and stars down for someone [ahah this is a little funny these days, but a lot of lovers in olden times used to proclaim that "I'll bring down the moon and stars for you."]

Saaton janmon ka saath (सातों जन्मों का साथ) - to be together for seven lifetimes, to be soulmates [Only when the bride and the groom take the 7 vows keeping the holy pyre as the witness, they are married. The bride and the groom hold their hands and take seven rounds around Agni (fire) and promise to be with each other for eternity]

dilbar (दिलबर) - beloved

Jaan hatheli par rakhna (जान हथेली पर रखना) - to put one's life on the palm of one's hand, to risk everything for love

Dil ka sukoon (दिल का सुकून) - peace of heart

Tum meri sari duaaon ke jawaab ho (तुम मेरी सारी दुआओं के जवाब हो) - You are the answer to all my prayers.

Kumiiiiiii <3 heluu, its your annoying fan here hehe :3

I was curious about what subjects you have taken/took for high school and what do you plan on/are majoring in :D

Halloooo Poppie! Good to see you!

My highschool subjects weren't all that impressive, honestly. Same old Math, Chemistry, Spanish literature (which I wish I was taught better), American History, Geography, Civil orientation, and of course my beloved Biology<3

I'm studying a Biology degree actually 😌 and I love it as much as it hurts me (it's a hard career, even if few people acknowledge it) I've had Invertebrate and Chordate Zoology, General and Organic Chemistry, General Botany, Fungi and Algae, Calculus, and right now I'm on the last subject of my first year: Biologic Fieldwork.

Anddddd to answer your last question, I want to major in Ethology, which studies animal behavior. It's kinda sad since there isn't that much work for an ethologist here in my country, but I will find it!!

[daegeseag]

somebody sent me an ask on what i think about linhora and i took an hour to write a stupid long post

i think i know why u sent this. although i am going to bed soon but i will be honest and clear here.

i'm a big fan of revo's older collaborative work. i think dream port (with yuki kajiura) and schwarzweiß (w/ shimotsukin) are phenomenal. his commercial work from over 10 years ago, as well, has some of my favorite pieces. endia and the knights is my favorite sanhora song next to historia-- and has been for like, my whole nearly 8 years as a laurant by now. revo took an opportunity for quick cash to create a beautiful creative work that ties into his larger narrative, which is cool. i also like his creative work outside of SH in general. i even love his stuff from back when he was just "g-san", like his FF remixes and experimental pieces. i like the music he and aramary did for the netrun-mon movie. i even like their eroge music work. it's beautiful, creative, and fun, and most importantly, enjoyable. so that is all to clarify i am not solely against revo working outside of SH, even though SH is my lifeblood, my reason for living, in all seriousness.

however, i have some issue with the work he has put out under the linhora name. i was, at first, interested and intrigued in him doing game music, because his music and story inspirations are 99% video games. alongside that i really genuinely love bdff (i played over 100 hrs on my first file alone.. ) and the music.. the bgm and luxendarc albums are big favs of mine, still. i have no qualms against it. the team putting his royal outfit in there for ringabel was a huge plus, too. although when the game came out i had little interest, i've found myself appreciating it immensely as time goes on.

there is also the case of sailor moon crystal. the song is fine. i dislike the style of vocals (lol) so i don't care about it. good on him again for making music for something i'm sure he adores, but nbd for me.

the real stickler, here, and i'm sure the reason for your inquiry, is shingeki no kyojin. i thought it was cute, at first, how invested and passionate he was about the whole deal. i heard guren no yumiya dozens of times, in public, discussed among normals, and praised all over the place. i watched the anime. i hated it, lol, we'll get to that. overall i did not like the song, however. i thought it was poorly thought out and cheap. poppy. poorly mastered, poorly realized. guren no yumiya, for me, was a failing of revo to demonstrate himself creatively through commercial work.

now, sanhora is not perfect. i am not stupid. revo is not exactly a genius when it comes to experimenting and creativity, at times. the same rhythms, progressions, and structures plague SH immensely under the guise of metanarrative and theme. his music is made to be catchy to a certain kind of person. however, i do not listen to sanhora for a complicated, intellectual musical experience. i listen to industrial and math and experimental drone, for chrissake. i have better things to do with my time than pretend that revo's music is anything outside of entertainment. however, i have noticed (alongside many other laurants) that his music is harder to enjoy than before LH. it is different. it's changed. revo changed.

here is the thing. guren no yumiya was made with the intent of being heard millions of times by millions of people. it subverted the usual tropes of anime OP music structure. in the end, however, it ended up as a distilled version of everything i think revo believes people like about his work. it's bombastic, and weird, and interesting, and has a lot of western structure and instrumentation. and i think guren no yumiya skyrocketing him into common tongue changed him.

jiyuu no tsubasa was better. it was completely forgettable. he made the OP to the shingeki school anime. completely forgettable. he made the new OP. straight up? it's bad.

main dig: i don't like how, instead of LH being an opportunity for revo to bring his SH style into a different audience, he brought confluences from LH into SH. and i hate it.

haroyoru is fun, but bogged down by theatrics and technicalities (really? referencing every album? even future ones? ordinal numbered horizons?). i adore noël but banisuta is a mess. yodaka is unbearable to listen to nowadays. mother was a necessity to treat our desperate need for the past. interview with noël is a fucking nightmare, a disaster. and again, i love bebo (& again, noël), but i haven't listened to nein in a year. what will rinne be? if it'll be like this, why are we waiting? that similar desperation?

LH makes me upset, and frustrated. i love, love, love how it brings people to SH. i love my close laurant friends that got here through linhora. i do not blindly hate it. but linhora is hurting SH. either that, or, god forbid, laurants are-- we are hurting, and we are cruel for this frustration, so it hurts. and laurants do not want to accept that maybe we have harmed it. we are nervous. but anyway.

i know why you asked this. the politics.

i believe you are the same individual who has asked as much to my friends in recent weeks. if not, i apologize, but it is a contentious topic. here is why:

isayama is a xenophobe, pro-imperialist, and overall terrible human being. also he draws bad lol. many laurants are people from nations that have been negatively affected by imperialism, especially in recent times, and especially by the former empire of japan. isayama spreads his exclusionary ideology through militaristic imagery and major themes. as far as i know nearly every character is white aside from mikasa, who is japanese, and she is a problem in itself for another discussion. isayama clearly worships the idea of a culturally western, homogenous militaristic system fighting against disgusting, malformed, grotesque invaders that kill and destroy everything in their paths. it's propaganda, kids.

revo has written so much about anti-war and anti-discrimination that it is basically his calling card now. one of the first SH songs was about the brutality of war and loss. a subplot of moira is how a powerful system that oppresses people can seem morally just to those it serves. märchen (by the extension of conquistadores) is literally built around the concept of war as unjust but eerily human.

seamus was literally a cog in an imperialistic war machine bent on wrenching the traditional lands of a people out from under them for financial gain.. reflecting the history of the irish people as a group (ethnically, linguistically, and culturally) continually attacked and threatened by early imperialist advances manned by soldiers from the isles themselves. seamus was ashamed of his roots because of ingrained cultural disdain towards the irish, curated by the descendents of invaded brits themselves. the cycle repeats.

revo understands these things. he gets it. he's smart. shingeki no kyojin, thusly, is the antithesis to his very. goddamned. creative. existence.. and i am uncomfortable with that. is it because i know he's helped push isayama to popularity with his music? or that he says/does nothing about the inherent politics of being a japanese man, living in japan, promoting a series made by a japanese man in japan about (mostly) white supersoldiers that kill destructive invaders and also says that koreans are subhuman? are we upset about that? about what that says about SH? does it make its purpose moot? or does this prove it in its own disgusting way-- that life is unpredictable, and cruel, and that those you trust may in fact be spreading harm of their own under the guise of creative expression or, dare i say, culturally ingrained moral liberty? it hurts to think that he doesn't care.

because he cares so much about other things. he really loves SH, as hurt as we may feel. he donates a portion of proceeds to charity. he got visibly, and audibly upset at the news of a western fan he never knew before just learning she had died. he cares. but, for this? or LH? the only thing he cares about is his image, and the money.

once he made fun of visual kei bands quite nastily, post release of some SH album, banisuta or nein. but looking at him now, all i see, is his apathy. no one can really stay by his principles forever, and celebrating revo as a monolith would be a dire mistake. but all this just hurts. so i hate LH, truly, dearly. and nothing will ever bring back the SH that was supposed to be without it. nothing can remedy that. that's all.

Have your gods and idols let you down? >> I don’t have any idols and I don’t put gods on any higher of a pedestal than I’d put a person, so, no. 2258. Is a place in the country your ideal? >> It is. Unfortunately, I don’t drive, so it’d also be a hassle. 2259. Have you ever developed a photograph? >> No. 2260. Have you ever courted anyone? Has someone courted you? >> No. 2261. What do you waste? >> Oh, you know. Paper and plastic products, food sometimes, the usual (for a Westerner, I mean). 2262. Have you ever silk screened a t-shirt? >> No. 2263. Is there anything that you tend to make that most people usually buy rather than make themselves? >> No. 2264. When was the last time that you were neither going to school or working for a month or more? >> --- 2265. Is alcohol an excuse you use to be yourself for a while? >> I don’t understand this question. I don’t use alcohol as an excuse for anything, really. 2266. What is your light at the end of the tunnel? >> --- 2267. Speaking of the light, is the light that people see when they die the random firing of electrons or is it something more? >> I don’t know what it is, considering I’m no more of an expert on the subject of death than any of the rest of you living beings. 2268. Do you ever step back thinking of life’s inner meaning and your latest fling? >> What? 2269. Can anyone guess what band/song I am listening to right now? >> --- 2270. When was the last time you were embarrassed? >> Probably when I ran that dungeon for the first time since hitting level 60 in FFXIV and having my rotation almost entirely rewritten. It’s going to take a while for me to stop accidentally dropping that one buff and remember which buttons to push when. In the meantime, I hope I’m ready to suck ass. 2271. If you were going to have a mural painted in your bed room what would you want it to be of? >> I don’t think I’d want a mural, that’d be too much visual noise for my bedroom. Something simple like a low-contrast pattern might be cool, though. 2272. Is sex more about fulfilling a need or giving yourself? >> --- 2273. Do you like your belly? >> No. 2274. Do you think more or act more? >> I don’t know how the hell I’m supposed to quantify this. 2275. Do you ever think about the price of gasoline? >> No, because I don’t buy gasoline. 2276. What is the healthiest food to eat? >> --- 2277. Have you ever read: Jonathan Livingston Seagull? Ender’s Game? I read this, but it was a long time ago so I only barely remember it. Memnoch the Devil? 2278. Should there be a mandatory retirement age? >> I don’t think so. 2279. What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done on impulse that worked out well? >> --- 2280. List everything you have eaten in the past 24 hours: >> Veggie burger and chips (tried a new brand of burger for once and it’s fuckin great), coconut rice with kimchi, some sort of risotto dish with shrimp, applesauce pouch, two blocks of dark chocolate, and... I think that’s it. They’re not all in the right order or anything, just in the order I remembered them. 2281. Do you listen to your intuitions, feelings and tingly sensations? >> I don’t know if I have those. Except for feelings, I have those, just not... like, intuitive ones. 2282. Do you know a lot about the city you live in and do you think it’s important to know a lot about it? >> I guess I know a fair amount for the amount of time that I’ve lived here. I don’t particularly value having a lot of knowledge about this city because I’m not very interested in this city. 2283. If you were at the Everything in the Whole Wide World museum what would you want to see first? >> I don’t even know the first thing about this museum. Is that a real place? 2284. Have you ever read: Lost Souls? Yes! Poppy Z Brite is one of my favourite authors. The Shining? Yes. Damnation Game? Pearl Harbor? 2285. Do you have any exercise tapes or dvds? >> No. 2286. Do you own a pair of lucky underwear? >> No. 2287. You’ve been feeding a wild cat but it’s annoying your neighbors. You can not adopt it but you must get rid of it. Which is kinder, taking it to a no-kill shelter that will keep it in a cage for the rest of it’s life or having it put to sleep? >> This is all moot because I wouldn’t be feeding a wild cat in the first place. If it’s wild, it knows how to feed itself. I’d just be fucking up the natural order (as evidenced by the rest of this question -- if it’d been left alone, it probably wouldn’t be lurking around humans so much to the point where it has to be “dealt with”). 2288. Can you spell “mouse” without singing it (at least in your head)? >> Yeah. 2289. What’s a word people should use more often? >> --- 2290. What is the longest word you can type using only the top (letter) row of the keyboard? Propriety? <-- Just gonna go with that because idc. 2291. Do you listen to other people’s advice? >> I don’t usually solicit advice from other people. 2292. Would you ever consider putting your entire cd collection on your hard drive and then selling the cd’s? >> Ha! As if I still have a CD collection in the year 2020. 2293. What do you think of this survey so far? >> It’s a survey. 2294. What is one question that hasn’t been on this survey yet but should be? >> I mean, I don’t know, man. 2295. Does ‘liberty and justice for all’ mean for all Americans or all people? >> I’m reasonable sure “all [white] Americans” is implied here. 2296. What do you believe that you think EVERYONE should agree with? >> --- 2297. Does the sound of crickets bother you? >> No. 2298. Is the sound of a fan on at night soothing? >> No. Sparrow needs a fan to sleep, but I sleep best in silence. Unfortunately, it’s summer, so I have to keep a fan on or else I will literally drown in sweat, so. 2299. How do you feel you will likely die? >> I don’t know. 2300. If you were going to run away where would you go? >> ---

The Nordic Tapestry Group has its seventh annual exhibition at Washington Art Association in Washington Depot, Connecticut

The opening reception, August 12, 2017, was well attended, and members present from Nordic Tapestry group met with visitors that were truly interested in woven art.

The exhibition is on show until September 9, 2017.

 This exhibition features tapestries from the Nordic Tapestry weavers’ most recent exploration, Face to Face, alongside several works by Helena Hernmarck. It reveals their shared passion and on-going exchange, and celebrates the transfer and evolution of weaving knowledge into personal expression

 Helena Hernmarck is a Swedish-born artist and weaver recognized for revolutionizing tapestry as a medium suited to modern architectural environments and for achieving powerful photorealistic effects in wool. Her tapestries hang in the Time Warner Center in New York, Peachtree Tower in Atlanta, and are in collections of the Museum of Modern Art, The Los Angeles County Museum, The Minneapolis Institute of Art, and other major institutions.   – Washington Arts Association.
