You all are the absolute best, and I'm so very grateful to be a part of this wonderful group of misfits. I'm sure I've said this recently, but IM SAYING IT AGAIN BECAUSE I FUCKING MEAN IT. Okay sorry for the caps, but for real I love you guys (gn), you make me smile and laugh every single day and I just you make the world such a better place to be in. I hope you know just how much you matter and what an amazing job you're doing making this community great.

[pleucas]

good evening. it is me again, skk hater - no air quotes because i am completely genuine in my hatred. this will be a long one.

i shall first begin with a thanks. i do write pretty often, and my ego has been sufficiently stroked. i suppose even the most despicable people have taste - at least in matters besides ships.

you have asked for my reasoning behind my vehement hatred of skk, and i think it's time for me to provide.

i'm going to be completely truthful - it's all Akutagawa's fault. i love him and his stupid victorian child fashion and british accent and dumb haircut deeply. so, naturally dazai is the bane of my existence.

now, even though i hated dazai more each time Akutagawa appeared, i actually didn't mind SKK for some time. i didn't get it cause Chuuya rarely actually shows up in the manga, which i read straight through without detouring for any of the light novels, but i was fine with it. they're fruity in most all their interactions, i shall never deny that because it's clearer than glass and i'm not that delusional, but i didn't see much substance beyond that.

then i read the novels and slowly came to the conclusion that i actually hate dazai even when Akutagawa isn't in the picture. and when i say HATE i mean HATE. he is the pebble lodged in my shoe, the lego on my cousin's floor, the table leg i stub my toe on, and so forth.

Chuuya, on the other hand, i love. he's great. amazing. stormbringer? peak. so, OBVIOUSLY, he could do much better than dazai. soooo much better. i mean, look at him

every time dazai and Chuuya have their objectively gay moments with each other, i feel like im watching my friend crawl back to their toxic ex.

that's how i feel with most dazai ships, and this is because dazai is always a smug prick towards the person he's being shipped with, and because i love Akutagawa i am not amused by this in the slightest. feels like he's rubbing salt in the wound. i actually like dazai more as a character when he's on the back foot. a (nonromantic) example would be him in The Day I Picked Up Dazai (A Side). dazai and Oda's dynamic is probably the best one dazai has in my eyes - though i don't ship them in the slightest. additionally, i think i, if only for a moment, actually liked dazai when he got ""killed"" in that one chapter. because it was a loss for him. in that moment, he (well, at least we're led to believe) got what he had wished for so often during the series, though it was not on his own terms. therefore, it felt almost like poetic tragedy - i thought it would have been a fitting end for him, and if it truly had been, i might like him now. this, as you know, was not the case.

furthermore, dazai is a fruitcake with or without Chuuya. it's not specific towards him, so i don't think anything real can be drawn from the vaguely homoerotic behaviour. i mean, dazai ballroomed danced with Sigma five minutes after meeting him. man just likes men, i don't know what to say

in conclusion, i feel like their relationship is unbalanced. dazai is never really shown to be all too worked up by Chuuya, even when he seems to be on the losing end of their bickering, but Chuuya is constantly harassed. while it's admittably funny, i don't like it in a romantic sense, nor do i see it in anyway that's different from Kunikida or Sigma.

that's about everything i can say without going on an unorganized tangent. i could bring up more specific issues i have that stem from Stormbringer and the Fifteen novel, but i have actual things ive been putting off writing - there's a whole book being sidelined by SKK right now. this has been a good way of procrastinating, but it must come to an end eventually

as for titles, you can call me Rimu. like the tree,

so, with an abundance of hate, Rimu <3

(ps: you might noticed that dazai's name is not capitalized at all in this ask. this is because he does not deserve that level of respect.)

holy hell Rimu. Hello, formally I guess — I will follow in your footsteps and leave dazai's name uncapitalized, because that was very funny

i've been putting off responding to this for a while but please believe that i have been thinking about it and periodically re-reading it. it's one of the most entertaining asks i've received LOL

to actually respond without completely proving your point of skkers procuring essays (though i'm sure you realize the irony upon review of your own accolade), i'll keep it brief. you had me in the first half, ngl, cuz i'm pretty sure 89% of us [skkers] agree, on a generalized scale, that dazai is the worst and Chuuya deserves everything and more (and better). he's the type of character that i enjoy as pure fiction, bc i know that if i knew him in person i'd hate him. same goes for my opinions on irl dazai — so asagiri did a (rare) justice for his authors there ig

abt everything else tho (imbalance, not being as affected by chuuya, similarity to other ships, and lack of intrigue)... i had a lot of responses prepared but really all of it can be summed up here as this:

like ngl man. LOL. i do blame the anime and its horrendous adaptation of dazai's character and skk's interactions, but that's another can of worms... that i have... opinons... about.

thank you for sharing your thoughts Rimu, i enjoyed reading through it a lot. keep it going!

with a mutual abundance of hate, Cas <3 <3 <3

[tanjaded]

henlo shroom!!! <33 im pretty new to your blog, but i noticed that you have a wish open, so id like to make a wish! :D can you pleasee spare some date idea headcannons with aoi yuuta? also, if it’s not too much trouble, can i be 🐰 anon?? Have a good day and keep safe ^^

yuta + dates!

₍ᐢ･⚇･ᐢ₎ ; uwaaah!!! shrooms sososososo late for this! they'd like to apologize ahuhu,,, please blame their huge writers block and their teensy weensy moment of being too into mahoyaku for a moment! shroom hopes you enjoy! + yaas! dearest bunnon <3 plus. shoutout to @ka-rimu & myie for helpin shroom with this! teehee

♡︎ aoi yuta wasn't one to think of something grand and extra, like his older brother. perhaps just a stroll around the park or just anywhere is enough for him; why, he is with you after all, and that's the only thing that mattered to him.

♡︎ it's just that time flies so fast when he's with you—you'd catch him looking your way for hours when you decide to sit under a tree with him in a bustling park. he just can't help it of course! a picture-perfect scene and you're the main piece—can you blame him for staring?

♡︎ consider stargazing… lying down side by side as you point out the silly figures you see in the sky—and laugh about them, too. plus, it's a perfect time to slip in a heartfelt line about how he would look at you even under the brightest and the prettiest stars~

♡︎ he finds it amazing how just a smile from you could make his heart feel warm! the thumping feeling of his heart makes him feel happy, and the thought that only you made him feel that way made him happier—oh, how you've pulled his strings and stole his heart, every time you just look his way he just wants to squeeze your face and kiss you!

♡︎ yuta pushing you on the swings… a sweet, childish moment—this makes everything feel like it's a cute, elementary crush, doesn't it? just the two of you, smiling and goofing around while playing by the swings… hours would pass by, and the two of you wouldn't even notice.

[veiliisms]

what shape does your pain take?

A picture. 

A single image reminding you of someone or something you've lost, something you don't want to live without. You can't seem to move on, to accept life has changed, to live again. You're trapped in the picture, in the past. Maybe this was a lost family member or friend, maybe this was a sickness that isn't going away, maybe this was sinking into depression. But you can't help but remember how life was before, how life after will never be the same, and can't help but feel that nothing in the future will be able to fill the hole the past left. Nothing lasts forever... Right?

At Lake Matheson nature has combined exactly the right ingredients to create truly stunning reflections of New Zealand's highest peaks - Aoraki (Mount Cook) and Mount Tasman. The waters of Lake Matheson are dark brown, so on a calm day they create the ideal reflective surface. The colour is caused by natural leaching of organic matter from the surrounding native forest floor. By a happy coincidence, the mountains to the east are perfectly positioned to reflect in the lake. An easy walk passes through an ancient native forest, including tall rimu and kahikatea trees, to a pontoon that extends out onto the lake. The walk from the car park takes 40 minutes to the pontoon, or 1.5 hours around the lake.

Post 8 facts about your muse

Tagged by: @the-amazing-mirrorers

Tagging: if you know me, you know i have trouble choosing people |’D so anyone can do it if they want uvu half of the info would be stuff not found on their bios, and half would be old info that new people probably don’t know...maybe c: 

keeby

i never had a chance to show this off, but he’s surprisingly agile o:

he goes to a bar sometimes when he’s feeling stressed 

though keeby doesn’t necessarily hate himself, he does want to like himself more than he currently does

keeby can sing, and sings to the kiddies sometimes uvu

keeby’s favorite fruit is honeydew. he can’t taste it, but the colour, texture and juiciness of the fruit is enjoyable 

he witnessed his father’s death, even though he only knew him for a short while

he had a crush on kaby ever since they were young...like, preteen age (kaby never knew)

even though keeby “adulted” since he was a child, his mentality remained child-like well throughout his late-teens. his mentality quickly matured when he hit early adulthood 

kaby

he doesn’t like spicy food

kaby’s a little bit taller than keeby, and has been growing slightly over the years. he used to be shorter

this may not get addressed, but kaby wants more children. he likes the idea of having a big family 

kaby’s been semi-feral for some time. even though he pretty much fits in with society now, he still feels like he could be better, and bases some of his actions and social cues off of movies

kaby named himself “kaby” so that he can fit in with kirby, keeby, kai and kusa. kaby is just a nickname. his records have his name as “red”

i don’t know how well this is implied, but kaby was homeless before he lived with keeby...well, actually more so houseless rather than homeless. he had a territory in the forest

kaby was only into girls until keeby confessed to him. keeby’s the only guy he’s been attracted to

kaby actually rejected keeby after he confessed

amber and rimu

(they’re young, and still don’t have a lot of info |D )

they were both surprises |D neither of them were planned 

amber wants to copy abilities, but keeby keeps her from trying

amber and rimu have very restricted communication with other people

rimu is a picky eater, while amber likes almost anything

amber sometimes steals rimu’s milk (or whatever they’re eating) 

amber and rimu both like keeby, but not as much as they like kaby

they both developed fangs like kaby

rimu gets very pampered by kaby, amber doesn’t care as much and would rather be more independent

The bladed screens are made of a recycled timber. It would be amazing to use fresh Native woods like Rimu, Matai, or Kauri, but these sources are becoming less and less common due to scarcity. As designers we must always aim to be as sustainable as possible and work within our means and towards the future, so a sensible way of going about the wood for the bladed screens will be to use recycled timber - whatever the wood might be, just not MDF (ew).

Here is a little research I did on the history of wood used in NZ house building.

Sources of timber

“By 1900, kauri – the most popular timber for construction – was depleted, and mills turned to other native timbers such as rimu and mataī. In the early 1900s Oregon timber was imported from North America, and can still be found in houses of that period. Large production forests of mainly radiata pine (Pinus radiata) were planted from the 1920s and 1930s. Pine can be used in many different ways for building, including laminating, and its generally clean texture means that it can be worked and finished to a high standard.”

HOUSE ARTS WAS FUCKING GREAT. FUCKING FUCKING GREAT. I couldn't stop smiling, on stage and off. When the lights came on, I just couldn't help myself. Getting together at the end was a great idea. Couldn't stop smiling. Got home and smiling wasn't enough and I just burst into tears when I heard "It ain't about how fast I get there." Because it really isn't! It really isn't because everyone's on their own paths. And the final feeling of accomplishment and pride overpowers everything else. And it's so worth it. So so worth it. And though I was again reticent, I'll work on it. Keep your faith and keep going.

Learn more about our collections using our interactive StoryMap

History

The history of the garden and land dates back well before 1869

The area where the Botanic Garden now sits has been an important site for generations. When Europeans arrived, there were already well established Pā’s at Pipitea and Kumutoto. The people of Te Ātiawa from Pipitea Pā used the Botanic Garden for ngākinga (food cultivation), collecting native plants for construction, food, fibre and medicine, and birds for food.

Te Ātiawa used large areas of the garden, and nearby hill Te Ahumairangi, for their own use and for trading until they were displaced from their pā in the mid-1800s.

Growth of the garden

In 1844, the New Zealand Company set aside a 5.26 hectare strip of land to start a botanic garden reserve. At that time the area was covered in dense podocarp forest including rimu, totara and mataī.

The official Wellington Botanic Garden was established in 1868, with the Botanic Garden Bill passed in 1869. The management of the gardens was passed on to the New Zealand Institute.

Trees growing today on Druid Hill and Magpie Spur grew from seedlings planted at that time, and are some of the oldest exotic trees in Aotearoa. In the 1870s the garden was boosted with a further 21.85 hectares of reserve land, to make it the large Wellington Botanic Garden we know today.

Wellington City Council has managed the Botanic Garden since 1891.
