#Blumei

[sarcasticallyexplicit11]

I just figured out that because I’m one degree of separation away from Reneè Rapp, that means I’m two degrees of separation from Daryl Tofa and therefore I’m three degrees away from the whole Outsiders musical cast and Angelina Jolie… nobody talk to me

Blühende Buntnessel

[camillefaglia]

my typhonium blumei bloomed for the second time (last time was in october, in 2023 it bloomed only once during spring). it smells like carrion and sewage, yet with a little glimpse of sweetness.

𝓒ONCEPT.ㅤ some professional boyfriend headcanons featuring xīn’yuè and a few others he figured imperative to receive attention in his overview. lil' commanding, he is. can you already imagine, or are you invested to see for yourself? if you're staying, may we interest you in a fragrance sample or two, free of charge? ℘RECAUTION.ㅤ switch fem reader, daddy kink, toys, condescending praise, slight bantering, implied exhibitionism.

༺ ceo!boyfriend who is the Chief Executive Officer of an intercontinental brand with the hall and trademark “Anzhong”; a subsidiary worldwide fashion industry with product lines that also include accessories, handbags, footwear, cosmetics, clothing, adult toys, and other minor trinkets such as writing utensils or home decor. The industry was also founded in 1928 in Lhasa, Tibet by Chagmo Kyi. You may also infer that the headquarters is located there as well, which is where the CEO in question dabbles a majority of his life besides with you or his two daughters, Maju and Blumei. There are over hundreds of active boutiques worldwide, at least 15,000 active employees, and their headquarters, which Xīn’yuè works at, is located in Lhasa, Tibet. The revenue of this company is at least 9.35 billion, making Xīn’yuè one of the richest CEOS any business has to offer. Similar to most compassionate businessmen, they soften up when it’s safe to, as it’s not considerably so in a workplace. Have to stay firm towards your subordinates, after all.

༺ ceo!boyfriend who is a spoiler as much as he doesn’t want to admit. Considering that he’s rather emotionally constipated, he utilizes his affection through quality time, affirming words, and gift showers. There are times where you receive the secretary treatment despite being the girlfriend, but he’s communicative enough to apologize for such. While the apology would always seem half-hearted and awkward, he redeems himself with a list of things since he knows the apology wasn’t the best; he truly cares for you but is only capable of showing it appropriately when he deems necessary. Relationships aren’t his forte, after all. Not only he has to worry about his career that takes up too much of his time, but his girls that also take up the little time he possesses when he’s on break. You get him to unwind often which he secretly appreciates, but outwardly he playfully reprimands or mocks you for catering to him like he’s some sort of child. You ignore him however, proceeding to give him head massages as the two of you binge your favorite show as the girls sleep. He feels safe with you. Always. But you’ll have to squint to conclude such.

༺ ceo!oc who canonically has two boyfriends. Yes, two. The phenomenon has yet to process ‘til this day, for he not only received the term and accurate accusation “bicurious” from his workout partner, Zolene Irene, but growing up in a judgmental household closes your mind in a negative manner (shout out to his strongly traditional parents that projected their opinions onto him, especially his homophobic father). Both are also spiritual entities, by the way, and as a human, it’s… overwhelming. One is a curt, cupidity maneki-neko with the name Indigo who happens to also be his financial advisor and natural migraine inducer. His other lover is a sasabonsam, a vampiric tree dweller who has yet to conclude the consequence of skipping out of work constantly just to do what he desires. Oh, I forgot to mention that they’re two Taureans. Taureans. The most obstinate Earth sign, let alone one of the three most in general. In summary, order is the last thing that household needs.

༺ ceo!boyfriend whose sex drive is on the low side of the spectrum, so you’re usually the one either engaging in sexual activities first or engaging in them by yourself; graysexuality is no joke. Generally however, he understands that you have needs, so he doesn’t mind pleasuring you when he feels comfortable despite him not feeling anything in return but genuine entertainment. Though, on another note, when you voice your outwardly desires, he not only gives you a captious expression that corresponds with his sardonic reassurance, but claims that some of the things you want from him are completely unethical. Naturally, you didn’t like this response, let alone his inability to take a moment to put himself in your shoes, so you left the idea alone. Naturally again, he felt a subtle sense of regret a while after that discussion, so he planned on how exactly he should make it up to you without giving into your desires…

ℌ Side note, for the most part, it didn’t work. He gave in.

The perspiration bubbling in the subtle arch of your back was prompted by the sudorific vibrations that emanated from the personalized bullet vibrator that was buzzing against your clit. Your tumescent bud pulsated effervescently as your hips scoured against the trembling surface, forcing moans to elude from your tepid, lazily parted lips. The vibrations were mellow and arrhythmic, hence your relatively desperate mannerisms, as you failed to reach the orgasm that was nearing, evading, nearing, and evading. With unreliable assistance, that is, seeing as the tip of the device was stagnant and pressed against your soppy clit, vibrating louder due to its inundation. If only the vibrations were just a little stronger, but even you understood that this behavior was well deserved, for you believed that guilt-tripping him for not utilizing your idea sooner was the best route.

“Can I finish now? Please? Jebel? Bài tuō?” You implored sycophantically, your blissed-out gaze imbued with lechery as your dampened lashes fluttered upwards at the one who was torturing you on the frigid surface. Obstinacy is nothing but a drug with no ideal remedy; this was evinced with the way the asshole you were star-fucking merely hummed dismissively in response, lightening the pressure from your clit just to watch the vulva quiver. The lack of the response immediately influenced your obsequious actions to falter with a miffed pout and a hip gyration; if you possessed the ability to trade places with this individual within seconds he would’ve been cumming and hyperventilating right about now.

“Sweetheart, don’t leave me like this.. Don’t you feel sorry for me? Hm? Mmmh-maybe even horny for me for once? Hm, daddy?”

The left curve of the well-adored and cross-country CEO’s lip quirked up for a moment in acknowledgment, but also derisive, once you mockingly quiered him. Everything was a muddle, a concupiscent muddle. There was no recollection of the prior events; all you remember is what’s happening now and later. What now consists of a yukata-wearing billionaire looming over the desk of his office, the glass surface besplattered with crumpled papers, prurient excretions, and excessive handprints. Then later that said inspirational figure will leave you knee-buckled and exhausted over the desk as he roughly persuaded you on why disobedience was never an option to begin with. An intense idea to state, but you’ve been through much worse, believe yourself.

“I figured it was prudent to continue stalling,” Xīn’yuè clarified vaguely in a collected tone; the eloquence parroted the tone of him relaying messages to one of his many, many subordinates despite you being nude from the waist down, tainting the glass below your ass. He predicted your protests, hence the immediate impulse to slide the bullet vibrator back inside of you, earning a sharp, shaky whimper that was immediately muted by him. He already wasn’t fond of the idea of making you cum in such a vulnerable setting; it was a miracle that neither of you were caught by a frantic employee with effervescent news. “Not only for ‘efficiency’s sake’, but to assure that any potential slip-ups—notably from you—remain a simple mystery.”

Your plush thighs trembled harshly in response, plus the clicks of the vibrator that indicated that the volume was being turned up was just as inebriating as his sardonic statements. You still couldn’t wrap your head around the fact that this was custom made for you, but you could definitely wrap your legs around his waist for ultra stability. Merino white rings enveloped around the midnight-hued toy as he fucked you with it in a gradual pace, not to mention that the name “Anzhong” was embedded within it in bullion only to be sealed with sticky cum created by you. Even the mere thought of that brought you closer, which was also determined with the way your drenched walls embraced the toy with fervor and the sibilated mantras of pleads that escaped your throat.

After acknowledging that you're close, and also annoyingly and worriedly loud, he slipped the object back out, earning not only exasperated insults disguised as guileless complaints, but an abundance of clenches that yearned for the nostalgic repletion. With a miffed, critical look, he took the cum-coated object before tapping your lips with it in order to interrupt your objections, taking the moment to keep you temporarily silenced by pushing it inside of your mouth, his fingers holding onto the ends so it doesn’t slide down your throat and asphyxiate you. His free, clammy hand however, was now placed on your exposed hip, grasping onto the flesh softly before the veins of the exterior emerged from the epidermis. Xīn’yuè’s bored look now embodied some remnants of puckishness once your silence managed to be the only thing that excited him tonight, which was concluded by the twitching awakening of his semi-hard dick.

“Now, be a good, sweet puppy and clean it up. Intractability, by definition, is something I don’t get along with often, so behave accordingly and quit whining.”

Butterfly Yumi in my Mythic AU (Also known as Project Chrysalis)

There are a few minor changes of this design actually... Mostly the motif on her red side of the kimono, the bracelet, the tasseled rope on her sash, and last but not least, the antenna hair. Plus I'm experimenting with the glitter pens on her kimono and wings.

Species is based of a Peacock swallowtail butterfly (Papilio blumei)

AMV inspiration:

Character design inspiration:

-Shinobu Kocho and Kanao Tsuyuri from Kimetsu no Yaiba/Demon Slayer. These two are my favorite characters from that anime btw.

-There are some fanmade Butterfly miraculous artwork from Miraculous Ladybug. Also it's just a coincidence that there are a few of fanmade Butterfly Miraculous holders named "Chrysalis" lmao

the dead butterfly

someone once said that if i had an aura i would be a “dead butterfly” at first something elegant, ethereal drawing you in magnetically until on closer inspection, the horror something fundamentally askew— for the wings are only decorative the preserved patterns merely a facade to hide the lack of life inside a melting candle a withering leaf a train running out of steam, puttering out coming to an abrupt stop. yes, i am a butterfly but not dead, only dormant— only undergoing constant metamorphosis painful, slow, incremental transformations yes, sometimes i feel lifeless it is tiring but it is Natural and one day, i know my wings will cease to be decorative i will spread them and fly, fly! brimming, bubbling with zest sparkling and effervescent sunlight radiating off of my bright blumei patterns marking my trail with nectar and butterfly kisses.

I gotta tell you abt something that’s been mildly irritating me

My mom bought me a pinned swallowtail for my birthday (sweet and thoughtful) however she knows fuck all about insects

So this swallowtail is incorrectly labeled as Papilio blumei (green swallowtail) and not the one that it actually is which looks NOTHING LIKE A GREEN SWALLOWTAIL it is a red Helen dude I’m losing my mind

That is actually really irritating holy shit

Spirulina platensis nella coltivazione di Coleus blumei

Il Coleus è senz’altro molto facile da coltivare ma risulta assai esigente per quanto riguarda la temperatura ambientale e perciò necessariamente la semina va eseguita in serra calda oppure in cassone protetto anche al fine di anticipare la crescita delle piantine che inizialmente è molto lenta. Per facilitare il successivo trapianto a dimora conviene ripicchettare appena possibile le piantine…

Is this butterfly blue or green?

by Vanessa Verdecia

An image of a beautiful “blue” butterfly.  What kind is it, they asked me?  That’s not always an easy question to answer.  The first thing I knew was that this butterfly was in the family Papilionidae. That determination was made based on the tails seen on the hindwings, giving the family its common name of Swallowtail butterflies.  It’s a good thing the Carnegie has a wonderful reference collection of butterfly specimens that is also complemented with an extensive library of scientific literature that should give me a good shot at figuring out what this beautiful specimen might be.

I started with some of the amazing picture books in the library because all I had was a single image of a specimen to identify with no visible clues from the image that might show what region of the world the specimen was collected from.  After searching through the historical collection for curated and identified specimens to compare to the image, and perusing through dozens of drawers of mixed swallowtail butterflies that might contain similar specimens, I was almost certain the specimen in the picture was a Papilio blumei,also known as the Green Swallowtail.  Hmmm, the Green Swallowtail? The wing shape and pattern of the markings on the wings were a match, but the picture I had was of a butterfly with blue markings, not green!  All the specimens of this species in the collection looked green.

Then I thought: I bet this unusual color has something to do with the structural coloring in the scales of the wings.  The reason the butterfly looked blue in the image was because the picture was taken in the dark and the photo was shot at an angle. This caused the butterfly to appear blue because the microscopic scales of the wings are structured in such a way that they interfere with visible light.  When I held my hand over the specimen and cast a shadow on it, the green bands then appeared blue, just like in the picture.  Structural coloring like this is seen in many insects and other animals, and can often be iridescent.

The next step was to confirm the identification with Dr. Rawlins, our expert on Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies).  This is where it got tricky.  According to the literature, Papilio blumeiconsists of four distinct subspecies that represent geographical variants of that species. When looking at specimens in the collection, there are subtle differences in the width of the blue bands on the wings. The photograph I had matched specimens that were identified in the collection as Papilio blumei.  This species is only known from the island of Sulawesi (Indonesia). Differences found among specimens from different regions of the island appear to correspond with the different subspecies. A careful detailed study would have to be done in order to revise this species complex.

Sorting out all this tricky stuff is the science of taxonomy, which is the branch of science that deals with the classification and naming of organisms.  Species are classified according to the various characteristics they have in common, which helps scientists to understand how organisms are related to one another.  A deeper understanding of these different characters and how they evolved over time and in concert with a species life history, is what constitutes the study of systematics, which is the field of study that deals with evolutionary relationships among organisms.

There are over 1 million described insect species on earth, and many more sitting in collections all over the world, still waiting to be “discovered”.  Some of these specimens hidden away in the collections are known to be new species and are in the process of “getting a name”—a common phrase heard around museum insect collections that refers to the process of describing in detail the defining characteristics of the species, assigning a Latin name to the specimen(s), and formally publishing the name in the scientific literature.  Getting to put a name on a new species is one of the best things about working in a museum. Knowing how many specimens there are to work on, or the possibility of stumbling across a lost or forgotten species someday while working in the collection is truly exciting.  In a collection containing an estimated 30,000 drawers and roughly 14.5 million specimens, you never know what you might find!

Code July Day 4: AU

Actually I want to remake my Butterfly and Moth Yumi (from Mythic AU/Project Chrysalis) but I want to draw my oni design of her so bad.

Oni Yumi doesn't have a proper AU yet. But I can imagine her being a guardian that saves her trapped friends in Lyoko! 👹🪭

Oni in Japanese folklore can be either evil (monsters that eat humans), or good (being benevolent guardians/protectors). In her oni version, Yumi is spunky and confident, but she is ruthless and unforgiving when she snapped.

Moth Yumi (Mythic AU)'s design and concept under the cut (because I haven't posted it here):

Here's the moth Yumi design, I made this last year. The moth version is the X.A.N.A. counterpart of her butterfly mode.

I might remake this bc the motifs are too crowded. The moth used here is a well-known moth species, which is the Luna moth/American moon moth (Actias luna). Her design combines wa-lolita and EGL (elegant gothic lolita) fashion.

I uploaded this on Instagram at that time.

It's completely opposite with her butterfly mode, that uses an obscure butterfly species, the peacock swallowtail (Papilio blumei )
