#also it's a really nice plant

I once made a post about how latin plant names sound like magic spells (which, like, yeah, because I think in a lot of fiction the spells are based off latin words?) but now may I present:
common plant names that would make really good exclamations. for instance,
this is Lobelia siphilitica, also known as Blue Cardinal Flower, also known as Great Blue Lobelia. now reread that last one as if you were a cartoon old woman sitting on her front porch in the country, having just witnessed a tornado pass by.
“GREAT BLUUUUUEEE LOBELIA!”
I rest my case.
#also gotta say in this case if we were talking about latin name spells this one definitely sounds like cursing someone with an sti#common name definitely preferred in this situation#also it's a really nice plant#that grows in a lot of the eastern half of the continent#and wikipedia has this lovely fun fact about the mechanics of how it is pollinated by bees if they are of the correct weight#lobelia#cardinal flower#plants#botany#wildflowers#flowers#gardening

Just some crappy Mikage drawings based on images from the show cause I need practice... I feel like I'm really getting the devianart experience tryna draw him😅😭
He looks much better in the show I assure you...
[writing on top left says 'Mikage Death Pose' since it looks very simpson death esque; writing for glasses (he looks so cool in his prof outfit) says 'stylish professor turned stylish librarian after pick-up attempt' (cause I accidentally gave him lipstick😅); middle left writing says 'shading fail' and 'dude being shady- not blushy; and bottom writing says 'Gah... She kept me waiting again!']
Favorite's definitely the bottom one
#mikage souji#my art#rgu#revolutionary girl utena#He looks like a sullen teen in the bottom one😁#I know these images aren't great but can you SEE the Scarecrow#like search up photos of this guy and tell me he isn't using his students' anxieties and fear for his sick little manipulation experiments#Oh you can't? Maybe that's because it's FREAKING CANON#Just imagining this guy facing off against The Batman is really funny to me#since I was thinking of RGU as Batman I obviously couldn't help imagining the inverse#where Batman is Utena and Crane is Mikage#but it's a bit harder trying to pin who would be who that way#it's hard enough trying to decide who's which Rogue for Utena...#like what am I supposed to do for Miki -_- only thing coming to mind is Riddler... RIDDLER! Isn't that awful? So back to the drawing board.#but that being said Riddler might be a good Miki in the inverse. Genius who's condescended to for his age; doesn't quite fit with the other#If it wasn't for his personality I'd say maybe Catwoman could replace Miki...#but the inverse's biggest issue is the Rose Bride#if I was doing BTAA specifically Harvey could be the Rose Bride no problem#But I don't know how that would hold up against other iterations of him#and Poison Ivy is a human plant who attracts people but is also very independent and in control#which would be interesting putting her in that role since Anthy is kinda like that on the inside🤔#but then Akio is an issue so it's a whole mess I'm trying to untangle. I've mostly got the Utena ones down#but it'd be nice to get more hard hitters in it that just don't seem to fit like Oswald

a koi pond for your dash:
❀ 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 ༄ ❀ 𓆝 𓆟 ༄ ❀ 𓆞 𓆝 ❀ ༄ ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌
#our pond thawed so i sat beside the water today and watched the fish#i wish everyone as beautiful and peaceful a moment as that today ♡#i dont have a koi pond btw judt a farm pond that a neighbor put goldish in like twenty years ago#they thrived tho and they're pretty like koi fish#im planning to add water lilies to it this year and maybe some other pretty ornamental plants around it idk#also a bench hopefully bc rn you have to sit in an uncomfy rock lol#anyway#still a nice place to hang out im just planning to make it nicer when i have the money for landscaping#im considering adding some actual koi to it bc i read they can coexist w goldfish really well bc they're both carp#but idk i assume they eat more so maybe they would outcompete the goldslfish#also they eat the baby goldfish so maybe not :(#they should crossbreed tho#i think#so maybe i'll just grt one or two koi and see what happens#anywayyy#they're so pretty and peaceful to watch 😌#my only complaint is its a bit of a hike to the pond#either like five minutes down a suuuuper steep hill or twice as long walking around the hill and back up by the road which is less steep#also you cant really see the pond from the house bc its far away and surrounded by dense brush#alas#these are good problems to have tho#and for safety reasons its good actually that the pond is far from the house and a bit annoying to get to#bc little kids could def have a terrible accident if it was just in the yard or something#bc its really deep#im not the best w these emojis but i wanted to make something cute

Harley: is literally friends with Batman at this point in the comics
some folks: uh actually Harley hates him! the fandoms "wine aunt" jokes miss the point because she hates Batman and she hates his family!
Harley Quinn (2021 - ) #29
just the little things (having a snack) you do with your enemy you hate so so much who you despise and wish would die and who's family you deeply hate and also wish would die
#ivy doesnt care enough about him to hate him lbr#he's a pest at best#but if she Hated him he'd be dead just like realistically j0ker should be#she has way too much power and the constant ability to kill him if she hated him that much#he's not worth her time he just gets in the way#and ya know dc constantly pretending like she wouldn't be able to just#violently murder anyone if she wanted to because plants are kinda really powerful???#a plan and failsafes are nice and all but you can't gadget your way out#of a plant growing /rapidly/ inside your intestines and ripping you apart from the inside until your organs shut down or you bleed to death#also also sorry but if you list that one detective comic with the gaming systems in your argument I'm gonna disregard your opinion#That chapter has the same level of understanding about Harley & Harleen as the ebkt comic did.#aka insulting trash#harley quinn#harleen quinzel#dc comics#batman#bruce wayne

If y'all ever see me IRL- it'd make so much more sense why my Sona looks how it looks
#also I like cats#and stripes but I never really wear stripes IRL so that wouldn't really transfer over :P#the only opposite things between me and my sona tho are that I gots me some small hands and feet and I'm kinda insecure about that???#idk- I just always really imagine my sona (and all my other oc's that are really similar to how I look IRL) with larger hands and feet#it's a weird thing with me- sometimes I'm fine with having smaller hands and feet and other times It just doesn't seem.. nice????? idk#..wait why'd I even start this post- ajfuzkgkldgkdkjdkdj wasn't to vent about my disproportionate hands and feet I'll tell you that#think I just got some idea to talk about my sona then this happened#sOoOoo uhh- yeah I'm gonna go get ready to shower now#and water my plants#cuz I forgot to yesterday and I usually water em either every Saturday or Sunday#<< wait do I unconsciously draw hands big because of this???????#hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... nah that's probably cuz my general understanding on anatomy is a bit finicky- especially on how long arms are supposed#be and how big hands are supposed to be ajhfsjfjfkgjxkgkdkhj

An illustration of an Adeptus Custodes npc for our Warhammer campaign
#custodians are my fave faction so I had a lot of fun working on this lad#we found him on a mine; he was taking care of a little machine#he got ordered by the emperor in a dream to do so#he told us all his names but that took hours and we forgot lol#he's really nice ;___;#he's trying his best to understand our shenanigans#idk if it is because we are complete gremlins but he calls us ''creatures''#he's also helping me to take care of a plant I found#warhammer#adeptus custodes

Stop im rewatching why dan is leaving me bc of ur post theyre so disgustingly domestic i adore them
sometimes i watch that video just to feel something
#you are so valid for that anon#theres something about the energy of that video that really gets to me#theyre filming cause its promo and its good clickbait and its silly and fun and Them#but its also For Them yknow?? theyre like we're gonna talk about how we're gonna be apart for the longest time since we've known each other#AFTER 13 years of knowing each other#just even framing it like that really is wild. but its exactly what happens. and they're both on the same page of yeah its a long time.#which. it isnt That Long but it IS for them yknow!#the silly intro phil does in front of Dan's closet. and it starts with dan going oi if you're crying about me it better be a long video!#its goofy and ridiculous. theyre in this bouncy happy uncertain mood. because theres gotta be some adrenaline with it but also appreciating#each other while theyre still there together. then its the complete lack of intro to dan bc come on now its dan you know him. obviously.#& then its the 'sphere' convo and im like bitch. he wants to touch you cause youre leaving!!! let him!!#then dans genuine shock at the swear like mans is down BAD. and then the teasing! the so real plant teasing. but also general life concern#the heart cactus makes me feel some type of way okay#the sheer domesticity of the stair convo and the ps4 struggle#and how phil turns it right back on dan with the selfie incident and dan is bashful about it.#and how phil just. gets to say that dan cant shower in the bus. bc it freaks him out. & ofc dan wont stress him like that.#(also the closet rifling. something dan's 'nice to know you do. in a dark drawer somewhere' vs the lacey shirt being lacey underwear idea)#the bathroom being very clearly a shared space.#goddd theyre sooo smiley and soft and i Cant#dnp#c.text#dan and phil

knuckles farm is my everythiiingg tell me abt what he grows :)
Well I like to think of what my family grows or used to grow when I was little ^^ I'm sure a big part of all the crops are fields and gardens that had probably overgrown, that Knuckles found when exploring Angel Island. There could be potatoes, beetroot, cauliflower. They all could be different types than you find on the continent, maybe ancient ones that you can't find anywhere else, or native to Angel Island's climate, maybe some completely new ones. I dream of drawing Knuckles in a greenhouse!! He could grow tomatoes, cucumbers, maybe some peppers. I don't think a greenhouse would survive this long with no one around so maybe Sonic and Tails could help him build it, or rebuild some old one. It's very important that there are grapes! I used to have grapes where they would climb up from the ground in the backyard and surround the balcony and I would sit there and just eat them so I think he deserves the same. Maybe in whatever house he has on the island there could be a grape vine that climbs to his window. An entire grapevine would be cool but I don't know much about that.. I think what's also important are sunflowers. Knuckles gives me a grandma with a farm vibes and that image can't be complete without him eating an entire sunflower daily, he'd much on those seeds like crazy!
Of course there's chao fruit, lots of it probably grows wild but there could be some very old orchards or something like that. There could also be some vegetables that are completely unknown and only grow on the island
He would probably learn how to grow some of them from various texts left by his tribe, and the others would have to be trial and error until he figures it out. Maybe he would accidentally kill some vegetables until he got off the island and he would see someone growing them in their yard or something and he would ask about that.
#i also like the idea of currant#i don't really like currant that much but my grandparents had a field and my sister and i would pick them every summer#i think that would be a nice image :) id love to draw it someday#knuckles the echidna#sonic the hedgehog#sonic#there's probably lots and lots of different vegetables and fruits he could have#that i dont remember xdd#i also love to think of him getting to try new veggies when he's off the island and then trying to grow them when he's back home#AGH#I LOOOVB HIM#I think he needs to be friends with silver just so they can grow plants together pleasssseeee#hmmm hiii now i'm going to think about that lat part Knuckles can get off the island and get ADVICE#yeah he can ask someone about how to grow a pepper or something and he doesn't have to just try and kill them over and over again until it#works somehow#AAAGAUHUREEORUFFUEUVJFER#HELP#i love farmer Knuckles he's my baby I think of him constantly

19, 30, 39 for the handwriting ask game wahooo !!!
19) AAAAaaa so hard to choose fave songs…! but recently I’ve been listening to Bunny Girl a fair bit, started humming my clematis today so went to listen to that as well…Oh wait fave songs uhh RGU op is lovelyyy! also the song I want to be your lover appears in my mind a lot…wait also song I found on bilibili that does an ouchie to me is (mainly the first part) are you lost AAAAAA if I keep going I am going to fill 10 pages (of these short pages) but uhhhh a doll of lapis and erica’s sorrow and also karen’s cleanup are good! essentially there are too many nice silly songs and I am just really bad at making up my mind >:( (I think I will have links to the YT of these)
30) Thank youuu for sending in a silly ask >_O (It looks a lil goofy but its okay!) I think because of the pens I am using my handwriting looks slightly “nicer(?)” but oh well! I might have to add a transcript because my handwriting is still kinda messy :3 (aaa all my silly written faces are messed up in this page :c)
39) I have an egregious amount of stationary supplies and also really want to go back into sewing a bit! aaa or spending time making those silly friendship bracelets (would be silly to make some based on mutuals colors) Oh and also learning how to sew and embroider enough to make silly cotton dolls :ccc (so many things I wanna do yet so many horrors yet still)
#silly rambles#for i want to be your lover its specifically raon cover but I forgot to write it lol but I still put the cover’s link#also to be fair I used to loop that song a lot a lot so makes sense it would sometimes start playing in my mind#aaaa i didnt even get to mentioning that one cover of carnivorous plant aaaaa#i really like the mao sasagawa cover of carnivorous plant i listened to it a lot (and also it doesn’t have the ringing of the original which#i cant always handle/enjoy)#wait wait woswald is nice tooo aaaaaa#i’ve found a lot of songs on bilibili that aren’t from it#AAAAA like i’m falling in love with my teacher WHICH AAAAA does not need to be as nice as it is#wait also GURU and bereavement#those also bc (idv stuff) bilibili I found and quite like#also on revolutionary girl utena its not just the opening but that was foremost in my mind#oh also in finding the en names for the last two songs I wrote down (I genuinely didn’t know before hand bc I got them va yt recommendation#and had them in a playlist to find them) I realized dongdang covered both of them which is lovely#will be adding those covers into my current playlist#i really hope the links work pls pls pls plssss#also is this indicative of how j-music comprises of most of what I listen to#oh also as much as my brain thinks in silly words I cannot spell/handwrite most of them so I did check to make sure I got some of those corr#correct lololo#AAAA I FINALLY FINISHED THE TRANSCRIPT AAAAAAAA#i’m so eepy I wanna go sleer mode…Zzzz

I don't know where to put it#so it's 5.30am sund morning & i have a lot of really nice stuff that i need to go & pop out on the street for street bounty/pay it forward#so many nice plant pots - god i really need to NOT buy things.. & a nice mustard coloured back pack & a bunch of kids toys that ive washed#& packed into clear bags & i lovely huge cushion and idk just stuff! oh an electronic scale as i had to buy a new one that showed %#(although i think it just estimates them despite the fact i bought a super fancy one. also it keeps telling me i am dyhydrated..)#(.. & i drink about 3.5L of water a day .. ?)#um then i will keep gardening. I got q lot done yesterday#i cleaned &w eeded & swept & & rehydrated some almost waterphobic pots & mived furniture#and now with how hot it is i MUST plant or it'll already be to late.#tw: grief#sorry i just do this on whichever blog im using the most#block the silv rambles tag if its super annoying#silv rambles

#Eefa sells her labour#Look I am PRO CRIMES AND PRO SCAMS#but the guy who has scammed himself into the social media manager job at my work is a fucking nightmare#If he would sit in a corner and quietly scam the company out of a salary for a position we DO NOT NEED#I would respect him#However he keeps making it harder for me to to my job#And physically taking things i'm working on away from me to butcher#Like I don't want to brag but i'm a trained and experienced facilitator. I was a university lecturer#Do you really think itms your job to add more animations into my slide shows??? Social media man???#He is also clearly like. Using Google to search for images because he keeps adding incorrectly id'd species#I will find a nice creative commons pic of a plant i'm talking about and he will be like#:) I have my sources *changes it to something that lives in new zealand* :)#Like dude u don't need to be an expert but you have to understand that there are things you don't know. That I DO.#I have been trying to avoid him as much as possible but occasionally I'll be like. OK I am going to give him a chance#Maybe he's not that bad#And i'll let him look at an Instagram post or something#And then he RUINS EVERYTHING AGAIN#Me Fein

Honestly i dont like sculk spreading/corruption storylines theyre really boring with a few exceptions
#at least make it MEANINGFUL. OR AN ALLEGORY SURE#but a lot of thr timr its just like#augh... ohnoo... thr sculkk.. its spreading and taking me ovrr.... fukkkkk.....#and then its either like poof all better now or oops fuck everythinfs dead the end#i just dont think theyre cool unless they have a specific meaning#like cub's sculk arc? that was really boring man ur not even from that server and ir didnt like do anything#i mean its funny from a 'its cub' pov but aside from that ehhh..... nah......#The corruption from s1 esmp was cool however but more because it served an actual function it was a good mass server event not caused by a#specific player but instead a mass storylune and players got to interact with it in interesting ways#but also there was never the threat of oh.... noo.... the entire world will become corrupted it was more WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS BIGASS PLANT#DOING HERE#and it tied into very nicely xornoth and that#esmp2 ALSO kind of had a corruption line with the fae but like.... what was that even.... i literally dint remember and i was there.....#it was boring......#oh and also owens nlsmp corruption storyline.... sigh....#there was so much potential for Sparrow and that storyline and i wish Owen had just gone 'okay i need people to roleplay as online for this#narrative' like Oli does#like u cant really do long term storytelling on what is a short term server if you arent ready to direct people and allow yourself to#control YOUR story the whole sculk spreading thing just seemed like a copout due to the server ending#where i think owen should have put his own content above what is technically true#its roleplay#like owen does roleplay well. but the difference is on the POW servers is that theres a set time and most people are on at the same time#but that just doesnt occur so much on youtube based smps and thats why i think until owen is able to direct more (outside of shared rp with#scott specifically) he's probably better suited towards streamed roleplay later edited#idk sculk storylines are boring basically they can work but only in an active server i feel#like with owens it was like 'oh fuck the sculk is spreading i have GOT to stop this!' meanwhile everyone else on the planet is like already#dead following his videos like idk man just didnt hit#there was also no specific defeat or true responce to the sculk either like ik there was the vault but idk#like overall. it was fine and i enjoyed it but thst doesnt mean i like sculk storylines

just watched season 1 of good omens. i have ideas brewing
#yes i am late to the party#yes i am thinking of using “crowley's fault” as a curse word because yk#he's a demon#also he shouldn't have thrown out the plant#but again#he is a demon so i don't really like blame him per say#but#will watch second season hopefully soon#ahhhh#also i am gaining a new appreication for neil gaiman's tumblr#it's kinda nice not thinking the creators think you're a rat that crawled out of a dumpster just for doing fandom shit#so#ye#good omens#:D#also this made me realize i have huge problems with screaming at the TV for characters to not do stupid things#like i was yelling at crowley about the plant#and then i was yelling at azirphale to use chopsticks#so ye
