Recursion, see Recursion.

I was laying on the sofa this afternoon, scrolling some old posts of this blog, when the couple across the street, came out on their balcony for a smoke. I was able to snap a double photo of them!

(All the other memes I made..)

Plant of the Day

Monday 13 January 2025

Found along a pathway in an urban situation was this casccade of goji berries on Lycium barbarum (Duke of Argyll's tea tree, Barbary box thorn, Barbary wolfberry, Chinese box thorn, matrimony vine, Tibetan goji berry, vicar's tea party, European box thorn). This scrambling, deciduous shrub can reach up to 3m tall. The flexible spiny stems have narrow, dull green leaves and small, dull purple flowers in late spring and summer. The species can be invasive.

🦚 Jade | 玉 🦚

Jade was considered to be the "imperial gem" and “stone of heaven” symbolising prosperity, success, good luck, renewable, longevity and immortality.

Jade was being mined in China as early as 6000 BC. In Chinese culture and history, jade has a special significance comparable with that of gold in Europe.

Jade was, and still is, mostly obtained from the oasis region of the Tarim Basin, where modern-day Xinjiang province is.

74-year-old actress Liu Xiaoping is considered the “Jade Queen” in China, with a collection worth 10.2 billion yuan (140 million USD) of jade jewelry.

So remembered an animatic that said every Ladybug holder was destined to abandon their Black Cat and they'd never see each other again. So I quickly threw together a set of curses for all the Chinese Box.

Ladybug - They are destined to always die alone with their goals unaccomplished

Black Cat - They are fated to always be abandoned by the person they hold closest

Fox - They are fated to always destroy the person they love most

Turtle - When it counts most they won’t be able to protect those they hold most dear

Bee - They are fated to drive others away at their most vulnerable

Butterfly - They are fated to have their good intentions twisted sour

Peacock - They are fated to put their faith and love into the wrong person and destroy themselves

Snake - At the end of things, they will always end up alone

Dragon - They are fated to never have the strength they most need

Bunny - They are destined to see the worst fates of their friends repeat over and over again with no chance to save them

Tiger - They are destined to always squeeze too tight and break those they love

Pig - Their kindness and desire to help will be their downfall

Mouse - They are fated to feel the weight of every task and eventually be crushed by it

Ox - They are cursed to be destroyed by their own growing doubt

Horse - They are fated to always be a moment too slow and be ruined by it

Monkey - Their happiness will come at the cost of the misery of others

Goat - They will be consumed by their passion and desires

Dog - They will devote their lives to a goal and only in their last moments realize they were wrong

Rooster - The people they hold closest will be unreachable

My rough idea is that the Miraculous of the Chinese Miracle Box are so powerful that their magic naturally backlashes onto the user in the form of a curse. So if someone wears a Miraculous for too long, they will be doomed to the curse even if they take it off.

[chernobog13]

Wong Fei-hung (Jackie Chan) undergoes some rigorous old school kung fu training under the tutelage of Beggar So (Yuen Liu-tin/Simon Yuen) in Drunken Master (1978).

The film was directed by Yuen Woo-ping, the action choreographer of The Matrix (1999), Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) and many, many more. He cast his father as Beggar So.

how well would ur characters clean the dishes

i only care abt quasar rn so im just gonna do her

truth be told, she's not actually that good at cleaning dishes. it's not that no one taught her, it's just that she's very resourceful. which is to say she doesn't use standard dishes and silverware. which is to say she will use whatever is at her disposal without a single qualm
