Do you happen to know what type of moth this fella is?

I was waiting for my friend in a parking lot and this guy walks up to the tree I'm sitting under and settles it down. He told me that he'd found it stuck behind a dumpster thought it had heat exhaustion cos it was like eighty degrees that day. I'd never seen a moth so big in person so I had to snag a few photos.

Anyways, I've been wondering what type of moth it was ever since cos it's just so perty. And then I remembered this blog and figured it would be worth asking.

i think this might be a columbia silkmoth !! its beautiful, thank you for sending in the pics <3

[viktoreznovs]

can we get the Shadowman Lore Dump. tell me everything why u like him so much 😼

(i would ask in dms. unfortunately i am shy)

oh dear, get ready for a wall of text

Shadowman Lore Dump™

Where to start, where to start?

i'll start with why i like him so much , since that probably won't take up as much space . i hope

honestly , while i do know i'm often more interested in villains , i don't know what exactly about him makes me so attached . he is nothing like Reznov — i say this because a majority of my favourite characters have similar characteristics to Reznov — and yet he's somehow on the same level as him in my mind .

i suspect what fueled this attachment is the constant hate i would see towards him , saying he was a one - dimensional character , when really it wasn't true at all . i read between the lines the others couldn't see , similarly to reznov , now that i think about it : i saw Reznov more as a cold - hearted warrior , just as i see Shadowman as more than the corrupted villain we know him as .

don't get me wrong , he's still very much a villain , but at one point , he wasn't , and maybe his path to corruption is what intrigues me . oh dear i'm starting to realize him and reznov are similar oh dear

also , non - human characters always manage to catch my eye .

also² , HAVE YOU HEARD HIS VOICE ?

anyway , time for the lore drop . most is canon , but i did sometimes steer into theories and headcanons . yes i'm mostly copying and pasting this .

i dont exactly know where to start — Shadowman issssss very weird about Richtofen .

"Oh, Edward. My dear, dear Edward. He doesn't understand you, I do! Only through me, The Shadowman, can you find your salvation."

there is genuinely no context in the first one IF ANYTHING context makes it worse because if i remember correctly that voiceline plays when Richtofen is downed . this man is really coddling his arch - nemesis while he's bleeding out saying he understands him more than " the devil " ( Monty ) .

"I know what you did, Richtofen! I know you found the Kronorium. You have suffered long enough. Why do you not embrace the.. cool warmth of the Apothicons? All your pain, all your suffering, could be at an end. That is what you want, isn't it?"

the second one of course is yet again him trying to get Richtofen to join him . i havent seen any voicelines like that towards the rest of the crew . he has a specific fixation fueled by the fact Richtofen used to work for him , an obsession , even , which he would never admit since yk his whole thing is hating humans so hm falling in love with a human ? Kind of embarrassing there

"You do know that Richtofen is a friend of mine? I say friend, but really, he is so much more than that. At one point, I almost considered him my... apprentice. I mean, he did stab my reporter friend... and steal the summoning key, but at one point, he did everything I told him to. I keep hoping he'll remember the promise he made to me.. so long ago."

the third WOH WHERE TO START . Before that voiceline ( and i believe even before the second voiceline ) Shadowman is shown to be getting VERY aggressive once he sees just how stubborn the crew is , and again probably specifically richtofen , and i believe his failed attempts at convincing Richtofen lead him to that voiceline . the whole plan is basically isolating richtofen from the rest of the crew by instilling fear and distrust towards the doctor so Richtofen would HAVE to start leaning towards his oddly affectionate words . its manipulation 101 : isolating the victim is the first step , once you do that , the rest is a cakewalk . thats why he doesnt specify that he's talking about ultimis Richtofen , he WANTS the crew to be suspicious about their Richtofen more than they already were so they'll stop helping him out of fear of what trick Richtofen could have up his sleeve , especially with the blood vials that he gave no explanation to ( not to mention primis crew literally saw victis crew just chilling in the cryopods and Richtofen said absolutely nothing about it )

they dont have many interactions , but when they do its very telling of their relationship / dynamic .

Shadowman also seems to make every conversation about Richtofen . take The Warden intel in Alcatraz for example : The Warden goes to pray to the Shadowman ( a detail i will talk about later ) , and somehow the Shadowman turns the conversation into what he wants to do to Richtofen . not to mention Shadowman is , for whatever reason , kinder to Richtofen with his words than The Warden ( calling the warden a fool , a pathetic wretch and a base disgusting creature that cannot help fearing for its own skin the moment the warden shows signs of doubt ) though that could be just Shadowman showing his true colors towards his lil minions and probably wouldve eventually done something similar to Richtofen had he joined him like ultimis probably in a sultrier , teasing tone— AAAAAAAAAA .

while theres no voicelines between Shadowman and Richtofen in shadows of evil , it is most likely he saw Richtofen killing the reporter , meaning this man legit just watches his object of fixation ruin his plans yet does nothing to stop it ( not that he could do much , unless possibly possess the reporter ) . i believe this because in that third voiceline in revelations he straight up says " i mean , he did stab my reporter friend , and steal the summoning key " so its possible he was giggling his ass off watching Richtofen try to steal the summoning key as if his employee wasnt bleeding to death on the ground somewhere nearby . speaking of the reporter , he often speaks of Shadowman's money , and i'm just wondering how the fuck does Shadowman have that much money and HOW does he even pay the reporter ? does he just materialize it out of nothing ? does he want Richtofen as his sugar baby ? is that the end goal here ???

steering a little away from Richtofen , but this man can be REAL creepy when he wants to , more than he already is . the intel between him and Jessica's productor , i believe ? just sent absolute chills down my spine . it wasnt threatening or anything , the Shadowman was just extremely off - putting , acting like one of those misogynistic creeps when speaking of jessica and it makes me wonder how long has he been observing humanity to have such an accurate act ? because obviously he couldn't give two shits about Jessica , but his acting is genuinely so well delivered . this man could've been an actor . we know he most likely observed humanity in the 1940s through ultimis ( which ill be getting into VERY soon ) so it isnt unreasonable for him to know how men back then acted , im just wondering what kind of fucking men was ultimis Richtofen surrounded by ?? what the hell ??

also , and this is kind of a given , but Shadowman knowing about Richtofen finding the kronorium confirms shadowman has been watching Richtofen's journey since day one , even whispering , " i'll be seeing you... " after witnessing primis Richtofen kill dimension 2210 Eddie ( which parallels Richtofen's line towards Maxis in gorod krovi " we'll be seeing you very soon " while sending the souls to Agartha . i giggle and kick my feet whenever i remember that ) . all through the summoning key , of course .

continuing off the text above , that man has been stuck in the dark aether for millennia ( excluding the times he just magically shimmied his way out of there ) , waiting in the summoning key was NOTHING to him , especially if it meant watching his anxiety - ridden doctor try to save himself from eternal damnation for probably the millionth time , since we do have to remember Shadowman remembers EVERYTHING about the cycles , even predicting what would happen if they did not join him ( along with if they did not drink from the blood vials , but of course being the bastard he is he left that detail out . )

Now, let's move on to the Original, shall we?

first off , i really like the parallels those two have as well . similarly to how Shadowman was corrupted by the dark aether due to his ambitions , so too was ultimis Richtofen , though in his case , of course , he had the Shadowman to further drive him to insanity .

while we unfortunately dont have interactions between the two because Shadowman was created way later and they probably just took Richtofen's religious voicelines and gave them to shadowman , we still do know that they were close ( once again it all ties back to that damn voiceline , the third i quoted ) . there's a lot of voicelines from Richtofen referring to Shadowman as " Dark One " ( now where have we heard that before , i wonder ) or simply , " My Lord " , similarly to The Warden towards Shadowman , along with just the aforementioned religious voicelines , and some... very intriguing other ones.

Ah, yes, I remember, "Master, why must you tease me?"

not to mention , Shadowman was probably the one to make Richtofen grow obsessed with the idea of agartha , just how he is , and while Richtofen does eventually make up plans of world domination with the knowledge passed onto him , the way he speaks of Shadowman leads me to believe that while he did have his own selfish gains , he probably wouldnt have minded sharing the role with the god who bestowed upon him the path to godhood , his salvation 😁

alsooooo have you ever noticed how , in his apothicon form , shadowman's mouth seems just the right size to chomp down the average human head ? or even just wrap his teeth around someone's whole neck / throat ? that man is designated to eat humans , and i like the thought of that being passed down onto ultimis richtofen , basically turning him into a cannibal ( we do have to remember his unhealthy obsession with the undead and organs certainly didnt come from nowhere )

i also suspect that Shadowman may have had plans for Richtofen similar to the ones Richtofen had for Stuhlinger , since obviously Shadowman himself can't just take what he wants , instead he has to nudge people towards his goals ( which would bring even more sense to the agartha thing ) . but if he had a body to possess . . . he could do anything .

apart from The Warden , ultimis Richtofen was probably the closest Shadowman had got to completing his plans , given they were only really missing apothicon blood for the Agarthan Device . unfortunately , Yena was tired of Richtofen's bullshit and POOF there goes all his progress . it is a bit funny because yena died to the last thing they needed , the Apothicon blood . Shadowman was probably in his little corner with popcorn watching the blood of one of his fellow Apothicons wreak havoc upon that ship .

speaking of the Apothicons , and despite being a manipulative little shit , Shadowman does seem to care about them . in SoE , we literally catch him red-handed trying to open a rift for the rest of the Apothicons . he's corrupt , sure , but apparently , that doesn't mean he'll leave the Apothicons to rot to achieve his goals , even sharing the M.P.D. with them . they're all going down together , and i can't help but find that rather endearing , and hot shadowman pls let me hit

his behaviour towards the Apothicons kind of leads me to believe Shadowman may have been the original leader of the Keepers . all the Keeper artifacts , such as the summoning key , do have the Apothicon language on them , after all . also there's no way the keepers genuinely wanted that balding fuck monty as a leader from the start .

that's all for now . after that , i , of course , sent Joon all my shadowtofen propaganda .

in conclusion , i do wish people focused more on the rest of the characters . don't get me wrong , i like the main crews and the dynamics they have , but they often overshadow other crews such as Victis , SoE , or even other characters that don't belong in one , like Schuster and Yena . i mean , hell , they managed to overshadow the fucking godlike beings in the series !

thank you for reading . hopefully , you didn't give up on reading a paragraph in .

Stay Shadowtofen pilled. (¬ ₃ ͡¬)

We should do more of these, hm? Any other questions? Be not afraid.

My theory on why halligan kept eating after getting told that it was human flesh is that he just straight up didn't hear lord sinclair say it. It took me years and a lot of psychological help to be able to understand speech in a place with a lot of background noise and I don't think halligan ever received any kind of psychological help. So he just heard clinking and eating noises and kept eating because not nd people get upset if you do something out of the ordinary he might have guessed that the murder cannibals serve human meat, but that's just halligan being halligan. Why am I still thinking about this game.

This is actually a really interesting take on the scene. For the most part, I have always believed that he was already a bit brainwashed prior to eating the meat and they were just sealing the deal (this is our first time seeing Halligan after what just happened in the forest when he passed out if I recall correctly)

You're thinking about this game because you like it and it's a great game. <3

The Daily Mail

LIVERPOOL AND MAN UTD LEGENDS JAMIE CARRAGHER AND GARY NEVILLE REVEAL GAY RELATIONSHIP?

Former rivals turned co-pundits posted Valentine’s day messages on their Instagram accounts which appear to show an intimate relationship between the two men, who were both married to women for over ten years. Neither has responded for comment.

Comments:

> they’re the worst pundits on sky anyway they don’t even try to hide the bias for their teams

> gary neville’s always trying to bring politics into everything rishi was right he should stick to football!

> well I will be getting my commentary from MOTD moving forward. wish I could cancel sky sports but can’t afford to miss all the match coverage so they will be getting a strongly worded letter from me instead.

The Guardian

OPINION: IT’S 2024. WHY HAS THE FOOTBALL WORLD NOT CAUGHT UP?

There are still no openly gay players in the top tier of the men’s game. Now that two retired premier league footballers have come out, we have to ask: why is this headline news?

Both Liverpool and Manchester United football clubs have posted messages in support of Neville & Carragher, and so have many current and former players. But it begs the question why they thought that support might not be implicit, or why the two pundits had to publicly “come out” at all.

Comments:

> tbh I didn’t even know who they were until I saw Beckham’s ig story 💀

> surprised Gerrard’s not said anything, thought he and Carragher were mates >>> probably can’t if he wants to keep his manager contract $$$

> the guardian: why is the media making a fuss about two ex-footballers coming out? the guardian: is part of the media making a fuss about two ex-footballers coming out…

Twitter

[nerice]

F! :3

desperately wanted to pick fauve for this one but i cannot risk putting myself into the mucihe zone or i might abandon my current novel. so even though faye gets a lot of clout in ask games at all times, let's talk abt women in stem (suffering, torment, evil, manipulation)

^shoutout to unfinished oc site draws

full name: like every other immortal, faye has no last name 🌺

nicknames: none, other than the slew of ridiculous pet names arianna calls her (my personal favourite is 'pumpkin' on account of eye color lol)

gender: female

sexuality: lesbian (stone femme babeyyyy)

a song i associate with them: i've basically talked abt her whole playlist atp so i will just link two previous posts, here and here

three important relationships: ※ eliada!!! her partner in crime when it comes to fixing the moons so they can both go home. he is also the one that custom crafted her armour so she doesn't lose any more limbs in the process w ※ linnea, ofc, my toxic yuri du jour. cycle of vengeful psychosexual drama that started when linn ruined faye's arm (after politely asking her to leave, logical next action really) and turns mostly one-sided after faye successfully breaks linn's melody, memories, and displaces her through time. they do have a fated showdown abt it in motd. the reckoning >:) ※ nd since i mentioned her before, arianna! they don't cross ways in canon (other than a one-night stand in which ari is too drunk to realize she's with a soulless lol) but platinum road exists precisely as alternate timeline in which arianna does realize and then invites faye to come to the palace with her, forcing her to try life rather than suicidal moon questing. and 3kau, a kingdoms au where arianna is a court architect turned head of guard of whom faye constantly runs afoul with her nomadic merchant ways taking her wherever she pleases, including highly restricted zones uwu.

two fears: ※ logical conclusion of a million timeline reset: the growing terror that the entire endeavor is doomed and she will never return to the invisible moon....... ※ linnea's melody :) maybe don't wear it as an earring then king

one element of her backstory: *spins wheel* uhhhhh fun fact faye losing an arm goes entirely back to an art mishap and i just rolled with it. she is a staunch prosthesis hater (that part of her armor is entirely empty and it moving is either light illusion or clever manipulation on her part) the only time she wears a fake arm is when conning jumie (exploiting her empathy) bc this encounter is the catalyst for the entire verse fixing plan & and jumie's soft paladin heart is so easily swayed by a woman as pretty as faye playing up a heartbreaking personal tragedy w. <3

> send me a letter and i will yap abt an oc with that letter yippee

[itsthemysteryofthedroods]

Another theory: since the ending seems to imply that time can be changed for everyone except the time traveller who is in a stable time loop I think that the reason halligan can do the salt thing is that he was a fully ordained druid in the past so his past self can do stuff in the future even if he technically wasn't ordained yet

That's... A really good way to implement the time travel aspect of the game into the narrative!
