#Owo group

[mysterioussorcerysummonspirits]

Orufanran Costume, Ram Head, Yoruba peoples, Owo group, 17th–19th century, ivory, wood or coconut shell inlay

This diminutive ivory ram's head constituted part of the courtly regalia of an olowo, the ruler of the Yoruba state of Owo in southern Nigeria. It was created as a decorative element of an orufanran, a type of ceremonial ensemble worn by the olowo and high-ranking chiefs during state ceremonies. Consisting of a bulky coat or shirt covered in red flannel scales, the orufanran was studded with ivory images of human faces and the heads of crocodiles, leopards, and rams. The outfit relates to the chief's military duties, and it is no coincidence that the animals depicted are those characterized by their strength and ferocity.

A wealthy state with close political ties to the neighboring Benin kingdom, Owo was famed for the virtuosity of its ivory carvers. Despite its small size, this ram's head is richly embellished with intricate incised designs and dark inlaid wood. Its aesthetic impact relies on a sophisticated interplay of bare and adorned surfaces. While the muzzle is dominated by linear grooves and quatrefoil knots (a motif used extensively in Yoruba art), the forehead presents broad passages of flat surface interrupted by diamonds of squares and circles. The interaction of opposing surfaces continues along the spreading horns that frame the ram's face. Deep ridges on the horns' base balance the smooth forehead, while the unadorned tips offset the elaborate motifs on the muzzle.

KAEYA AND EULA INTERACTIONS…. KAEYA & KLEE INTERACTIONS…… FINALLY IVE BEEN WAITING 19 YEARS

[mayra-quijotescx]

Still on about the Bigass Bag Of Quick-Sale Produce I got on Saturday, putting it under a cut because I have lost track of how much I've yapped about it, but I still have so much:

I can't believe the secret to getting me to cook/bake and eat more produce was to fucking randomly assign me some, this must be some ADHD brainhack, I keep thinking 'wow, so fun and so cheap, I should get another!' and then having to stamp the urge down with both feet because I am still working through the initial bag and need a wider network of People Willing To Accept Ten Or More of Something Neither of Us Will Eat in case the next one has a similar case of Woe, A Dozen Jalapeños Be Upon Ye. Like, so far, we're at:

Single Mango That Presumably Lost A Knife Fight To Every Other Mango In The Bin: eaten upon receipt, its prospects were otherwise grim. Bitter. Might could have used some chili powder but I had none. Napa Cabbage, Single: Washed, chopped, and stir-fried bok choy-style over rice Saturday night, no chances taken.

Celery, sprouting: processed equally across Frozen Soup Bag (henceforth FSB) and snack sticks with the rest of a jar of peanut butter, the remainder in the fridge that outlived the PB dregs is getting chopped and thrown into an avgolemono tonight Jalapeños, Dozen, and Banana Peppers, Half-Dozen: given to a friend in South Philly who's learning to pickle things; friend chopped and jarred them Sunday night. Parsley: even split between FSB and given to aforementioned friend. Cilantro: even split between FSB and cilantro-lime rice, which I served with a generous amount of shreds from the last rotisserie chicken the ACME had last night (the remainder also destined for the avgolemono.) The rice cooker pot needed cleaned so I tried stovetop instead; please clap and also put it in the paper that I did not set off the fire alarm (it was VERY close.) Limes, Several: Used two on the cilantro-lime rice and three in a no-bake key lime pie (currently setting in the fridge) that I threw together on my lunch hour. I still have five. They're starting to shrivel. I feel like blorbo from the math problems.

Blueberries, Two Pints: sorted, survivors washed and frozen; a few were in an utterly horrific tactile state, but the vast majority were in decent shape! Put an unwise but delicious amount into some blueberry muffins Monday evening; there are still so many, but they're safe in the freezer for a few months. Grapes, One Bag: sorted, washed, ate a few handfuls fresh but froze most of them. I might throw them into a cobbler with some of the blueberries [TBD] but only if I don't just eat them all first, I had no idea how delicious they are frozen. Nectarines, Two: cut these up Tuesday morning, they were dry and wretched. Can't win 'em all, I guess. Probably on me for waiting so long. Cucumbers, Two Each of Two Kinds: cut and froze the smaller two, left the larger two in the fridge for Meli. Apples, Two: I think they're still ok but I better act fast.

All of that somehow fit into one paper grocery sack (which I reinforced with a tote bag) and came home with me for just under $7 USD. I feel like I got away with something; especially considering that when I went to ACME last night for a partial restock and pie ingredients, I saw them trying to charge $3.49 for A SINGLE LEMON and almost committed a felony right then and there.

For the Fanfiction Work-In-Progress Guessing Game: "Friend"

hello, friend! this word appears 14 times! usually the two mystics talking to each other:

“Please, friend, may I know what you are doing?” called UrGoh.

“He will not let this pass. Our time grows short. I am sorry, friend; I lost my composure.”

but not always:

“What’s your game, making your friends leave you like this? What kind of friends can they be, that they listened?”

[bamsara]

what are your most favorite tropes? :3c

IM SO GLAD YOU ASKED:

Near death experiences

Emotional revelations due to said near death experiences

Enemies to Friends to Lovers

Mutual Pining but they believe its unrequieted

"you're my worst enemy but you're so important to me"

Drunk chapter where at least One fist fight happens

Bridal carry after someone gets injured

Slow Burn...of course

"i got you this gift because it benefits me and im not telling you how" (the benefit is seeing the other person enjoy the gift)

Force Alliances or Temporary Truces

"I don't like killing but I'll do it for you"

"I prefer to kill my problems but I won't, for you."

Or: "This person has no idea how many people I've killed in order to protect or provide for them and I'm going to keep it that way."

Mean or Villian Character is actaully a really good Sibling/Parent/Child,ect and has someone they care about

Or better, Villian character adopts child AND is a good parent

Everyone knows the pairing likes each other except for the pairing

Temporary (or non-temp)Amnesia

"I learn your favorite things because I plan to use them against you one day" (proceeds to not do that) (proceeds to get them food or items that persons likes just because they like them)

Breaking and Entering. Literally.

Person A is in love, Person B says they're not but they're 10x times worse actaully

Slip-of-the-tongue/Accidental confessions. Doesn't have to be love confessions but just "whoops i was not supposed to say that"

Biting as a love language

One is feral and bloodthirsty but is put in the position of 'protecting an idiot' because the other is also feral and has no self-preservation. Both characters must be badass, just equally stupid

Kiss on the head/cheek while the other person is sleeping

Bloodstained kiss

Heat-of-battle confession about something

Protagonist refusing to become villian or repeat villian mistakes, not in a 'owo i cant do that its bad' and more like 'fuck you you dont get to see what you wanted to make of me'

Signifier of 'this is my friend/family/lover'. Could anything between a ring, a jacket over someone's shoudlers or scent marking, anything

"if im immortal, then you gotta be too or we both dyin"

Knight x Their Charge

Human x Non-Human

Sunshine x Grump

Character that looks sooooo cute. Oh he's a little fucked up actaully

"ahhaha he's such a freak haha. i need him carnally."

They are mortal enemies. They are also best friends.

Hostage / Rescued trope plus Hostage / Doesn't get to rescue because the hostage killed everyone already

Plot info that's missing that's vital to the story and it's revealed that One of the pairing or someone in the group knew the info the entire time

"I said mean things to you because I hate you, so why am I feeling guilty now"

There was only One Bed

Really competent and scary character is really GOOD at a harmless and charming small hobby completely uncharacteristic to their public persona

Nightmares. And then sleeping in the same bed because of nightmares

Cultural differences / Language Barrier

Character gets so surprised flustered they trip over something or break something and it topples and it starts a chain reaction like a cartoon

There are more but these are some of which I can remember off the top of my head. I've written many of these myself in several of my stories and will continue to do so until the end of time, esp my faves

[ccraccz]

Hello! I'm a new follower of yours~ I may not know how much are you in the manga, so this might be a lil spoiler for you (sorry). Suo actually knows the language of flowers! Maybe this could be a req of him courting fem!reader owo

Have a nice day!

SO CUTTEE!! THANK YOU FOR BOTH THE FOLLOW AND THE REQUEST!!

Flowers for you

Suo x Fem!Reader

TW: assault, reader being used as a hostage, implied bullying? (PLease tell me if I missed a TW!!)

The first time it happens is on a random Monday. A bouquet of different colored camelias being given to you by Suo, a sly smile and unearthly attractive smile on his face as he hands them over. His uncovered eye squinting as he watches you blush at the situation.

"For you, my lady," he says, confirming the main question that was swimming in your brain.

"But... Why?" You ask, genuinely wondering about the reason of the sudden gift. Suo chuckles as you grab the flowers in your hands and hold them closer. "Well..." He starts, turning to walk beside you, hands behind his back as usual, he looks at forward, ignoring your eyes that were intensely looking at him. "They reminded me of you, and there was a special on them, so I decided to try and make your day start in a good way."

That was a lie. Well, part of it was a lie. The beautiful, multicolored camelias did remind him of you, but the bouquet was going to be a lot more expensive if he wasn't recognized by the flower shop owner for saving his daughter from some perverted gang members. Not only was the bouquet free as a payback for saving his daughter, but as a thanks for helping around the town.

"Well then..." You pout, looking away as you arrive at the bridge that connects you to the gates of your school. You genuinely didn't want to leave him there, but you had cleaning duty to go to and if you're one minute late, your class would chew you up, especially now that you had a bouquet of flowers in your hands.

That day you started your day with a smile, and ended it with that same smile.

Suo was right, these flowers did make your day start, and stay, a good way.

The second time was the day after he, and his group, fought a group of drunken, old, perverts decided to take you and your girlfriends from your class as hostages. The glare that Suo sported that day before he quickly beat up the guys that were between him and the guy holding you was still burned into the front of your memories.

His eye seemed to glow under the street lights of the town, movements swifter than a cat but stronger than a bear. The drunken man holding you faltered at the sight of his men being beaten down, quickly seeing the disadvantage he's at. Due to that, he quickly pushes you away, having you land harshly on the ground and enraging Suo further.

After the fight, Suo was silent, too silent for your comfort as he walked you home. His arms weren't behind him, now one was wrapped around your waist and the other in his pocket.

The day after, there were flowers on your door step. Another bouquet and a plush of a fluffy puppy holding it.

The flowers were in a beautiful arrangement of white gardenias, daffodils, primrose primulas, and white heather flowers, a red ribbon tied around the bottom of the stems to keep them together. Under the plush, there is a note from Suo.

His hand writing is gorgeous, letters smooth and readable, sentences arranged in such grace it was shocking to think that this was written by a teenager in a delinquent school.

The letter said: Dear [Name],

I hope this letter finds you well and recovered from what happened yesterday night. I can only imagine how hollow you might feel...

And the rest was history, as tears bubbled up in your eyes and dribbled down your cheeks, the flowers tight in your embrace as your tears soaked into the paper and the top of the plush.

The third and last time was at the end of the day, two months after the incident, and a week before your birthday. You had been talking to some girls, who were gushing and blushing about their crushes while you stayed quiet. Walking out of the school and over the bridge, you see him.

Suo was standing at the other end of the bridge, another bouquet in his hand, a small gift box in his other hand. You paused as the girls beside you start fawning over Suo, talking about how attractive he is, and wondering who those flowers were for, and what about that box?

You were internally sweating, starting to walk behind the girls again, who were giggling and bumping into each other before you.

"So?" One of the prettier girls walks forward, having the guts to confront the delinquent. "Is that for me?" she asks, bottom lip bitten seductively.

Suo smiles at her, "Definitely..." He pauses and looks around the group. "Not," his smile drops before he walks forward and breaks apart the group, until he was in front of you.

"[Name]?" Suo smiles, eye closing with a light blush on his face.

He looked ethereal, better than any mythical, historical, or fictional character you've ever seen in your life. The sun was the perfect shade, hitting his face in every attractive way it could.

"I'm here to give you these," He speaks, his voice soft and nearly musical. He holds out the flowers towards you to take as your cheeks flush a beautiful pink as the situation registers in your mind.

"For me?" You whisper in shock.

"Yes," He nods "for you gorgeous."

In her hands was a large bouquet, filled with white gardenias, red roses, white camelias, baby's breath, and a multitude of gloxinias. "Those white gardenias represent your purity and how lovely you are, the roses represent my love for you, the white camelias describe how adorable and perfect you are, the baby's breath are a symbol of-"

You cut him off, putting the flowers into one arm as you grab him by the cheek and slot your lips onto his.

The show of affection makes the girls around swear and leave, while, somewhere in the bushes, there is a sensor going off, smoking even.

That wasn't the last time he brought you flowers, and it definitely was not the last time he described them, since every time he did, it would lead to something more.

[silent-calling]

Then Hamas 2 would commit atrocities that inspire Netanyahu 2, who would repeat the actions of his predecessor.

The cycle repeats.

Like it has since 1947.

Because Hamas is actually PLO 2.

And Netanyahu is actually Begin 2.

Astral Express Family: Sushi edition (absolute mildest spoilers for Welt’s backstory)

Basically the group chat version of the comic, “Sliced or Stabbed?” I’m making but I’m too impatient to finish it rn so you get this

I love how the entire Asteal Express family is so not normal. They all think they are the normal one of the group but they very much are not. 3/5 of them have been stabbed before, and that number may increase

Basic summary under the cut

Stelle: does sushi hurt the fish

Dan Heng: No, Stelle, it does not

March 7th: Wait let her cook

Stelle: ty march

Welt: Most restaurants properly dispatch the fish so it should not hurt them

March 7th: Getting sliced to pieces must hurt a lot :( probably more than getting stabbed even!

Dan Heng: trust me it does not

Stelle: OwO is that a trash can?

Welt and Himeko: Stelle, no!

Dan Heng: March, you’ve never been stabbed before. You gotta experience it to know it

March: No you don’t! Anyways, let’s ask Mr. Yang then

March: Mr. Yang, does getting stabbed or sliced hurt more?

Welt: Stabbed hurt more

Dan Heng: See, I told you so

Welt: But that might have been my personal experiences with getting stabbed and sliced. It may be different for everyone

Entire Astral Express Family:…what

Welt:… I’ll explain later

Something that I love, now that I'm beginning to branch out and trying to venture into different parts of DC, is how fans of different superhero 'family' groups treat each other and characterize the other. The owo-ification of the Superfamily. The mutual hate and slander from the Batfamily and the Arrowfamily. Nobody cares about Aquaman. The fact that the Wonderfam and the Flashfam are kinda just there.

It's so fun.

Yes, I am going to yap about it again

But I just dislike it when people throw so many basic /commonly-appearing elements from other continuities into Transformers Animated 😭 frequently replacing its original ideas.

I don't care that it's because sometimes somebody (probablt not-too-knowledgeable) is simply making an AU. The other times the reason for that is merely a lack of knowledge and I happen to feel like it would be an a-hole move to "break the fun" with explanation, to be honest, as it became really normalized and a ,,uwu owo uvu" non-negative thing to do that. I am not pointing to any exact person because 'why?', no need to, and they (plural) kinda pop out and disappear like mushrooms xd

TFA is a continuity with many original elements and slapping such stuff here is just so..... you really are unable to handle deviations from the most common form, right anon?

Primus + thirteen original primes and TFA Optimus being one of them? So many continuities have that and to me it became a bit annoying at this point. The reason why they don't actually exist here is so oofing based, I like it sm, respect, and I am not even an a(nti)theist XD. Additionally, I don't think an actual matrix of leadership even exists here, the thing OP had as a necklace(lol) quite resembles it, however, those were technically just allspark fragments, weren't they?

Another severely distinguishing part of the Transformers Animated continuity are the relations between the 'good, ol', usual' main dudes: Optimus Prime and Megatron. The latter has been around for milions of years and is very experienced (he defeated and replaced Megazarak as Decepticon leader 14 milion stellar cycles ago. Yes, he wasn't the creator of that movement, another lovely thing), whereas Optimus Prime (not Orion Pax! But I will get to that later) is a mere space bridge repair crew leader, not leader of a faction, and is definitely less than 2 milion years old, as it's established in the first episode that he has not seen the war in person.

So, what do certain people do? MINERZ- Desperately attempt to put in the unmatching puzzle, which is taken from a few other continuities, since ,,the tale of Orion Pax and Megatronus/D-16" friendos became quite a tradition. There was no Orion Pax! One could metaphorically call the OP which we see in the show like that, however, in reality there is simply no actual tfa Orion Pax, and I am of the opinion that that's amazing. I doubt that Megatron could have "been a miner before the war", since I think the more likely option is him just being a part of one of Destron groups/armadas, as they are warframes made for conquest.

By the way... oh boy the main goal of the Decepticons in tfa lore is something for another discussion-

The dynamic Optimus and Megatron have here is absolutely amazing and it highlights the way Optimus must go through in order to became a renowned hero... Optimus does NOT gain a big power up and knowledge from some silly wee artifact, he earns the Magnus hammer (also an artifact probably, but not on mAtRiX level) by himself and Megatron finally starts remembering his name, which he never did before that because OP was such a meaningless vermin in his eyes before Megan got defeated. Megatron, the severely old and great leader of quite an ancient faction almost every Autobot fears and has heard many childish scary stories about - the Decepticons.

Oh Primus and once I've seen somebody call TFA Bumblebee..... B1-27 😭😭 well, wouldn't be surprised if he went by a serial number before being given a name in the Autobot boot camp. Hmmm... which kinda seems like high school..... CHILD SOLDIERS LET'S GGOOOOOO /silly /hardJ

Time for conclusion since I think my brain juice is about to run out

I don't mean to target or hate on people who throw in that stuff, however, I am of the opinion that following the widely-praised, most common form has a stupid and quite degrading impact on originality, which I think it's what this franchise really needs. TFA may be jus' another transformers continuity, it does have a lot of things in common with other stuff, but most of its unique elements should be a bit appreciated, instead of replaced.

The Transformers franchise is in desperate need of new concepts, original ideas and greater reinventions. It's not just typical geewuuners who directly whine about even the slightest changes, but also people from the more twitter/tumblrina side who are unable to resist the urge to spill one continuity into another, despite the elements contradicting the concepts from the target continuity.

Oh no and I just got reminded of something a few people did to tfa Elita-1... I am sorry but making her look so much like the Skybound one, especially with that stupid head, face expression and shade of pink makes her so ugly XDDD. Oh primus I think her TFA colors are really nice, since a "fembot" does not need stereotypically feminine colors to be one, and how her head design also has a ponytail like G1 Ariel (the pre-Elita-1 form)... so yeah holy cheese XDD ..... I understand not liking a version of a fav character, especially when they had been done so dirty by the narrative (Cyberverse Lockdown is so eh), but maannn, that is so much

Lemme repeat it again, I understand difference of opinions, that somebody can dislike a version of a character, I don't mean to act so ,,grrrr >:c" towards those people, but I am still going to have my own thoughts, da, which can be expressed thanks to the freedom that is given, especially on the internet

Overheard Fantasies | Honkai Star Rail

Warning: Fantasies(mentions) of- Group Sex/Gang Bang, Blowjobs, Cunnilingus, Anal stuff, spanking, biting, deep throating, cum swallowing, more stuff i probably missed

Summary: And there you were with your best friends, talking about your fantasies of fucking the men you've met...who happen to be hearing your conversation from the other room

Pairings: Welt Yang, Jing Yuan, Gepard X Fem!Reader (together)

Mia's Notes: Yooo This was inspired by THIS ASK asked by @cxxmine lots of love for the ask!! I wanted to include whichever men i could but Im not too good with writing group stuff so I thought I'd write for 3! If you all like it then maybe I can write more owo but yep this is it for now, I hope you enjoy it mwah mwah Ps bold text is you talking and the normal text is their reaction

“Oh, Mr.Yang? He’s such a dilf, ya know? Like I would totally spread my legs wide open for him-oh or maybe just sit on his face- and I just know that he’s got the most skilled tongue ever. Would I call him ‘daddy’? Absolutely yes. Would I start whoring out if he called me his dearest little one? You bet I would be an obedient girl for him while all the other guys watch me be good for him."

Your sweet Mr.Welt Yang coughs into his fist, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose, imagining it accidentally bump against your clit while he eats you. Really, he wasn’t that much older than them in looks…but apparently, in your eyes, you considered him a ‘Daddy’. Maybe he would almost immediately get addicted to the taste of your leaking juices, lapping them up greedily the way he’s imagined so many times. Yes, he’d desire for you to be a good girl for him, he doesn’t have the time to tame you and discipline you. But maybe a few harsh bites to your thighs, leaving marks of his presence ought to do the trick. 

“I’d let him play with my ass while I’m being eaten out by Welt. I just get this feeling that he has the biggest thing for asses like have you guys noticed how his eyes keep wandering down when I walk in front of him? And if you’re asking if I’d let him stuff my hole…perhaps. I bet he has a collection of toys. Yeah…I wanna use them. I would also shamelessly ride his fingers if he asked me to.”

He’s smiling to himself, a slight glimmer in his golden eyes with faint pink dusting his cheeks. You are quite the observant lass aren’t you? Seeing the way his eyes have been stealing glances at your plush ass. And since you’re so willing to permit him to have his way with you, maybe he would stuff you with one of the many plugs in his possession. All different shapes and sizes that will stimulate you till you’re convulsing and rolling your eyes to the back of your skull. If you’re good for him, maybe he’ll smack your butt to sear his touch into your skin for you to never forget. And if nothing else, he’s got his long slender fingers that he can thrust into your puckered up hole till you’re loose and prepared for his cock. 

“Awww I’d love to see his face all flustered and red as he tries to keep his composed self. Definitely going to give him head in this situation. Kiss his pretty red tip and run my hands up and down his thick cock- you know he’s gotta be sporting a monster behind those pants with a body and adorable personality like that. Roll my tongue all over the length till he’s shaking and cumming on me.”

Oh my…oh dear…Gerard has gone as red as a tomato, covering his burning ears to cool them and try to not let any more of your vulgar thoughts corrupt his mind. But he’s already too far gone, imagining having your hair in a fist while pushing you down on his generous length, watching how you so professionally swallow it all up, hollowing your cheeks to vacuum around his hot dick. Oh god, he’s imagining the way you’ll drool all over him and then lick him base to tip to clean the saliva and precum. If you’ll go on looking at him with those dazed eyes, he might just shoot a heavy load down your throat, clutching the back of your neck to keep you in place as he bucks into you. 

The three men accidentally make eye contact with each other, breaking the uncomfortable gaze and bouncing on their heels, hands in their pockets to adjust their growing boners. 

Will any of them make the first move to talk to you? I guess it’s up to March to decide how this plays out!!
