anon asked: *shakes you* tell us more about the symbolism in jashinism. you mentioned a lotus once?? elaborate, por favor.
( flowers in Hidan's religion, let's goo. )
i. AGAVE.
so agave plants are native to the Caribbean and the Americas, but this is my fantasy world and I do what I want, so now they are also found within the Naruto world because I said so ( mostly because the symbolism is beautiful and appropriate, let me live a little ). that said, whilst several species of agave exist, the one that is most interesting as a symbol in Jashinism would be the Agava Americana, often ( incorrectly ) termed the ‘century plant’ ; sun-loving, the plant grows slowly, over several decades ( just like humans on their journey to spiritual enlightenment ) , eventually reaching majestic proportions ( it’s not unusual for leaves to reach up to 1 m! ). it is long-lived, up to 5 decades, and it is monocarpic – it only blooms once, producing a very tall, branched flower stalk. as such, blooming signals impending death. upon the start of blooming, the middle leaves gather together like hands in prayer, the upright leaves surrounding an emerging bud. the bud is atop an ever-lengthening stalk ( several meters tall! ) that stretches tall toward the sky ( much like the disciples' souls and devotion ). upon flowering, the plant will die, but not before producing numerous seeds & offshoots, which easily propagate it ( for a disciple of Jashin, the parallels are clear: once one reaches enlighten and accomplishes their role on this earth to a satisfactory degree, they will finally be allowed to be put down to rest .. . .whilst going out in a spectacual way, at the peak of their glory. yet one is replaced by many via spreading the word & practices in the world. ) random facts: much like jashinists, agave plants thrive on a bit of neglect and can be aggressive ( as their sap is irritating and sometimes have sharp thorns which can cause injuries to children and pets. ) cultivation at home is both allowed and encouraged ( the plant's blooming is an occasion to rejoice, especially if it coincides with a hoursehold event ).
ii. LOTUS.
shame on me, because this is actually a twist on concepts held by many ; the lotus flower is held in high esteem across several current world religions, and although there are some variations, it is generally considered a symbol of purity, spiritual awakening, and strength — the latter two being most important to the discussion here, as well. lotuses take root within muddy ponds and, through resilience, persistence, and strength, raise through the murky waters to bask in the light ( of knowledge ) and bloom with unblemished perfection. as such, they are regarded as a symbol of being able to rise above the murkiness of everyday life. further, the way in which a lotus blooms is beautiful: the ( ignorant, unenlightened soul ) bud unfolds its petals in turns, gradually, and its bright yellow center is the last to be revealed ( the soul opening itself up to the divine truth that was hitherto hidden ; self-actualization & enlightenment through stages ). in Jashinism, the symbolism is twofold: 1. showing persistence and resilience to pierce through the muddy waters of ignorance and 2. all life is, at its root ( just like the mud & murky waters ), suffering/ugliness/unrest that one must bear and pierce through ; no mud? no lotus. ( the lotus showing admirable resilience throughout its growth to its bloom being pretty much equated to the journey of spiritual growth ). resilience, in general, is a key factor: the lotus has an incredible amount of will ; a seed can withstand the absence of water for literally thousands of years, yet still germinate ( both an encouragement for persistence and resilience, and the concept that it is never too late to bloom/start upon the spiritual journey/convert – the young, the old, all are welcome )! random facts: red lotuses most prized. cultivation is not allowed ; lotus flowers, stems, leaves, or roots may not be either picked or ingested. seeds may be consumed ( either raw or roasted, and they are delicious ).
iii. IPOMOEA / MORNING GLORY.
one of the rare true sky-blue flowers, with a white & golden yellow center. the flowers open at dawn ( representing the light through which truth emerges ) and die out at dusk ( representing the inevitable death one owes at birth ). the flower of the will of god, chewing its seeds may help you commune with him. ( fun fact — don't do drugs unless you're fully informed of wtf you're doing— these seeds contain a hallucinogenic compound, D-lysergamide, which induces psychedelic effects when consumed in high enough amounts. consumption can also cause severe stomach upsets and suicidal ideation, so it's a freaking Russian roulette. )
other worthwhile mentions: thistle.
#hc.#( writing down thoughts you've had#floating around for years is such a weird experience.#in threads it's one thing but like this it's another.#i could write a book.#love it or hate it these are still my hc's and they will float around in existence.#forever. )

Faro - Laguna soli, riba, kamenica i ptica; 2024 Nov
Nažalost, došao sam kasnim letom iz Beča u Faro. Avion je sletio sat vremena prije ponoći, tako da nisam previše mogao istraživati grad. Javni prijevoz uvijek je najjeftinija opcija za doći u grad, no zasigurno nije i najbrža, jer u to doba dana to jest noći, gradski autobus vozi svakih 40 minuta. Autobus me ostavio na autobusnom kolodvoru te sam pješke kroz centar grada došao do mog smještaja. Šetavši do njega, već sam ponešto i vidio od grada. Mali lučki grad na jugu Portugala s toplom oceanskom klimom. Google mapa me vodila kroz uske male strmovite uličice povijesnog dijela grada. Čudni, tamni, sumnjivi, polupijani tipovi smucali su se oko tih ulica i sve mi je to malo sablasno i opasno izgledalo, no kada prođete kroz takve slične kvartove u Brazilu, onda imate hrabrosti i za ovakav poduhvat. Iskreno malo me i je sve podsjećalo na Brazil, od tople klime, mirisa mora, starog dijela grada i uskih ulica, do miješanih ljudi svih boja koža..
Danas je barem u većem dijelu Europe popularan tzv. self-check-in. Ako mi nešto ide na živce, to je kada apsolutno sve se mora obaviti, kupiti, rezervirati online i virtualnom komunikacijom. No nažalost tako je i izgleda da sve ide više u tom smjeru. Jedno 20 puta sam čitao instrukcije oko tog famoznog ulaska u moju sobu u toj smještajnoj jedinici jer ne znam drugačije kako da to nazovem . Ipak je sve išlo glatko, iako sam bio vrlo skeptičan oko toga..
Rezervirao sam nažalost samo dvije noći u Faru, zbog mog ograničenog boravka u Portugalu. Kažem nažalost, jer se kasnije ispostavilo da se ovdje na jugu Portugala ima puno toga za vidjeti. Unaprijed sam već preko interneta rezervirao izlet brodom po parku prirode Ria Formosa. Vremenska prognoza svih sedam dana Portugala bila je famozna, osim naravno danas. Lagana kišica škropila je lagano i vlažila ulice grada, pa tako i sjedala na brodu. Naš vodič s klasičnim portugalskim imenom João , nije previše mario što ćemo naše guzice smočiti, niti je brinuo da vlažne gaće štete prostati, no bio je ipak srdačan i poluveseli čovjek pa mu to nisam uzeo za zlo, a i nije baš nešto previše ni mogao učiniti po tom pitanju.
Objašnjavao je na engleskom i povremeno na francuskom jeziku, lijepo i detaljno slagao je dijelove priče ovoga izleta Parka prirode Ria Formosa. To su zapravo plitke lagune, to jest slana močvara, isprepletena kanalima, slatkim potocima i otocima. Protok brodova zavisi od plime i oseke.
Prvo naše stajanje bilo je na Ilha Deserta ili u prijevodu Napušteni otok. Tu ne živi nitko osim jednog ribara koji svaki dana peca ribe, od toga i živi, i jednom tjedno posjeti svoju ženu u Faru, i tako više od 30 godina. Evo vam recept za uspješan brak. Uvijek sam govorio da u braku ne treba biti previše provoditi vrijeme zajedno jer to ruši harmoniju ljubavi.. Na otoku smo imali slobodno oko 40 minuta te smo mogli šetati što po sitnom pijesku, što po stazi od drvenih trupaca. Po pijesku je bilo puno ljusaka školjki, vrlo oskudna vegetacija i samo jedan restoran. Moj kolega vodič João nije me upozorio da je taj jedan jedini restoran na cijelom otoku samo za goste s dubljim džepovima.. Imao sam nekih 10-tak minuta za popiti jedno brzinsko pivce te sam radosno naručio jedno veliko točeno pivo. Kada sam dobio račun od 8 €, ostao sam frapiran.. I onda kažu da je Portugal jeftin . No nadao sam se da je ovo bio samo izuzetak.
Drugo naše stajanje bilo je na otoku Culatra, na dijelu otoka koji se zove po svjetioniku Farol.. I tu smo imali isto 40 minuta slobodnog vremena. Prošetao sam otokom s ostalim turistima. Van sezone ovo je otok duhova jer kako sada nije više sezona dolaska turista, sve vikendice su momentalno napuštene te će se sve ponovo otvoriti sljedeće godine u proljeće. Vikendice su sve lijepo uređene, građene uglavnom portugalskim stilom s puno egzotičnih biljaka zasađenih u okućnici, ponajviše agava.. Jedan jedini čovjek koji mi se čini da baš čitave godine živi ovdje, češljao je svog psa koji je sjedio na stolu i mudro očima pokazivao gdje gazda treba malo bolje odraditi posao..
Treće naše stajanje bilo je na istom tom otoku Culatra, ali na dijelu otoku koji je permanentno naseljen, gdje postoji skladan život, škola, pošta, dom zdravlja i sve ostalo što treba za moderan život .Tu smo imali najviše slobodnog vremena jer je ovdje i bilo predviđeno vrijeme za ručak. U parku prirode je jedno od najvećih uzgajališta kamenica u Europi pa je logično da ih napokon i probam kad sam već ovdje. Kako nisam više vjerovao mom kolegi Joãou, otišao sam u jedan drugi restoran, a ne u onaj koji je on preporučio. I naravno naletio sam baš na taj u kojem su sve kamenice taj dan bile prodane, a poslužuju isključivo samo friške. Pošto sam se već sjeo i naručio piće, nisam više htio mijenjati restoran te sam naručio pečenu hobotnicu s prilogom od povrća i malo krumpira.. Bilo je vrlo ukusno, no i ne mogu reći da sam se baš najeo do grla..
Ptice močvarice svih vrsta i naravno neizbježni kormorani, invazivna vrsta koja je naselila čitavu planetu Zemlju, a svaka odrasla jedinka poždere oko pola kile ribe na dan.. U povratku je bilo lijepo promatrati ptice i njihovu strategiju lova..
Sve u svemu, jedan divan izlet i nije mi žao bilo dati 40 € za njega, plus 8 € za pivo ;) ..
Grad Faro je mali lučki ribarski grad sa svojom dugom poviješću koja seže još od rimskog doba kada je ovdje bio rimski grad Ossónoba koji je tada imao svoj najveći uspon u 2. stoljeću pr. Kr.. Mauri su ovdje ostavili dubok trag od 713. godine kada su osvojili pola iberijskog poluotoka pa tako i jug današnjeg Portugala te se zadržali ovdje sve do 1249. godine. I dalje su održavali trgovačke veze sa sjevernom Afrikom i ostalim mediteranskim gradovima te su prodavali sol i poljoprivredne proizvode iz unutrašnjosti regije Algarve. Tijekom tog razdoblja razvila se židovska zajednica i tada se tiskala prva portugalska knjiga Pentateuco, Petoknjižje, poznato kao i Mojsijev zakon, torah. Predstavlja prvih pet knjiga kanonskog hebrejskog i kršćanske Biblije. Židovska zajednica trajala je sve do 1496. kada su poveljom kralja Manuela I. bili protjerani iz grada ako nisu prešli na katoličanstvo. Nakon toga grade se katoličke crkve, bolnica, carinarnica. Kroz kasnija stoljeća grad se širi, grade se gradske zidine. Veliki lisabonski potres iz 1755. usporio je i otežao daljnji razvoj grada koji se tek kasnije oporavio..
Nažalost, ostalo mi je samo pola dana i sljedeće jutro da uživam u ovom lijepom i simpatičnom malom gradu, no ajmo reći da je bilo dovoljno da ga upoznam i stopim se s njime. Bilo je divno šetati po centru grada, uz luku i lagune, popiti kavu na toplom suncu na jutarnjih 20°C i sve mi se nekako nije išlo dalje.. No nove avanture čekale su na mene..

Louder for everybody in the back - it is posdible to give bees suitable contidions and not take their honey!
The cause for everything that is wrong with world is not vegans who eat agava, or vegans who don't consume wool, or vegans who... whatever straw man people use.
The problems are the industrialization of the food industry, and food waste.
The global food waste scandal TED talk was given 15 years ago by Tristram Stuart, and things only got worse since then.
Vegans of tumblr, listen up. Harvesting agave in the quantities required so you dont have to eat honey is killing mexican long-nosed bats. They feed off the nectar and pollinate the plants. They need the agave. You want to help the environment? Go back to honey. Your liver and thyroid will thank you, as well. Agave is 90% fructose, which can cause a host of issues. Bye.

Park šuma Marjan se nalazi na južnim obroncima splitskog poluotoka. Na satu geografije učili smo o klimatskim modifikatorima, a znanje primjenili put crkvice svetog Jere. Na fotografiji se vidi agava sa pogledom prema poznatoj plaži Kašjuni.
