#also yay flower symbolism

[rozeliyawashereyall]

Blood as sweet as Honey.

Yaaaayyyyy

If it looks like I gave up on it halfway, that's cuz I did.

Red Petunias can symbolize strong emotions such as anger, resentment, or even hatred.

White Lilies are commonly associated with death and funerals, representing the departed soul.

Anyway bonus whatever this is

Earrings & Jewellery

I'm incredibly privileged to have grown up with a grandmother who loved high-quality ear piercings. When I was a child, I would always gawk at her diamond collection and her deep emerald studs, which she would keep safe and secure. Prized gifts from past lovers.

One of my favourite things is my jewellery. I would go broke for a good real black pearl. I would fly back to Bridge of Allen to meet the family jeweller who crafted my silver and pink-purple fresh water pearl bracelet. I would run to Poland to find another Torah necklace to remind me of the dear old lady who I would source my vintage jewellery from and my pleasurable years of studying Judaism.

Whenever I walk around, my stack is always a conversation starter because of how it stands out, all rings, earrings, and bracelets. I wear on average 3-5 rings and 4 bracelets, all silver, some with diamond or zirconia. I wear the silver cartier wedding band I got as a gift every day, depending on where I'm going, lol. I also have a signature symbol, which I'll gate keep.

I implore everyone to have a signature charm. It could be a shell design, a flower, a sea horse, a star, anything that feels lucky to you or blessed. Whenever anyone sees the symbol, they will automatically think of you, and whenever you'll see it, you'll remind yourself of the luck and personal significance it has to you. My middle finger ring has my symbol, and so does my everyday necklace. I'm about to get studs with the same.

When you get jewellery, I always recommend finding someone with a passion for it. I don't see the point in going to a mass market jewellery store that will sell you fake jewellery that tarnishes the second summer hits or if you swim. Invest in the metals. 90% of my jewellery is from random old men with a long-time passion for craftsmanship. It's not always pricey. You will not be charged $100+ for starter hoops or a plain stud. Take the leap, and you'll never have to do it again. Furthermore, with these types of jewellers, if you ever need maintenance such as shining, anodising, oxidation, cleaning, repairs, etc, they have your back. The secret to shiny white icy silver and white gold is in the shining, it's necessary. Google is your friend, if you start now you'll be sorted till 60!

Having multiple piercings is thought by the tiktok wealth gurus to not be classy, and quite frankly, I disagree. There's an art to creating a good piercing stack, which adds to your allure.

As a woman of colour from a country with a very proud history of adornment and multiple local high jewellers who's hearts ache to capture Africa into a singular mental piece, I cannot subscribe to that narrative in good faith.

Currently, I have 2 piercings on each ear, which will increase to 5 on 1 and 4 on the other. I have scheduled my piercing dates and contacted all my jewellers to let them know what's up and that I want to come in to see what they have going on for the new season. I'm terribly excited.

When it comes to a good stack, you can never go wrong with diamonds, zirconia, or diamanté. Play with different cuts. Marquise cuts are trending right now in the piercing and engagement ring communities. Furthermore, pearls are something that never goes out of style. I love a good real pearl because of lustre. A fresh pearl will have multiple colours at times, which are enhanced based on the angle of the light around you. Similar to diamonds or clean zirconia and diamanté. Diamonds and stones like it are cut with different facets to play with the brilliance. A certain cut can cause a fire, not in the literal sense but the effect whereby multiple colours are seemily present within the stone because of the refraction of light. This is especially important with engagement rings.

When it comes to individual earrings, I would recommend these types.

Very dainty, very light, very sweet. A stack of these is a sight to behold. Especially on dark skin. I absolutely love how Anok Yai and Adut Akech style their piercings.

A good account on Instagram to get inspiration on what a good classy stack looks like is Maria Tash. I'm utterly obsessed.

When it comes to pearls, here is a colour guide. I believe in jewellery shopping from different countries. My favourite places to get my hands on some pearls are the coasts of Scotland and the UK online markets. You will find the cheapest, pinkest, fresh water pearl jewellery. My friend loves a deep dark pearl and stalks Asian jewellers to find some to add to her collection. I admire her tenacity. They aren't as easy or cheap to find as pink and purple pearls.

AKECHI TOUMA!

Now what I'm more excited to show is his birth flower(s)

Does September have two birth month flowers?

Yes! September has two birth month flowers, the morning glory and the aster. Which means another pretty flower to add to your bouquet. Yay! Asters are wonderfully vibrant wildflowers, ranging from white and red to pink and yellow. They'll easily brighten up any bouquet, especially during the autumn months!

Let's start with the asters first!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

ASTER FLOWERS

Origins

The humble aster is a misunderstood flower. They're often confused with daisies, and some even consider them to be weedy because of how easily they grow. These little, dainty blooms have a big, rich history behind them and a Greek legend telling the story of how they got their name. Asters were named after the Greek word for ‘star’. Because, when the Greek legend Astraea, was upset by how few stars there were in the sky she started to cry. And where her tears hit the ground, they turned into asters. Cool story right?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Meaning and symbolism

In general, asters are considered to symbolize love, affection, and wisdom. In the Victorian flower language, they also carried the meaning of daintiness, patience, and charm. However, the specific color of an aster can change its meaning.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Flower language

Purple aster:

Purple asters, the most popular kind, denote wisdom and loyalty, royalty, dignity, admiration and respect.

White asters:

white asters are associated with innocence and purity.

Red asters:

Choosing red asters sends a message of undying devotion.

Pink asters:

pink asters conveying affection, love and sensitivity.

Blue asters:

Blue aster flowers represent trustworthiness and faithfulness. This makes them the perfect gift for a cherished friend or a loved one you trust implicitly.

The Japanese symbolism:

In Japanese culture, the aster flower represents the line

"I won't forget you."

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

And thats all the information i can provide! (*^▽^*)

Tell me what you think about this one? Should i do the next 5th of September flower (morning glory?)

Fun fact!

Did you know that because of asters happy, positive vibes, they were once used to ward off evil spirits and negative energy? So if you’re a superstitious person, having these pretty flowers around will definitely give you peace of mind.

[rainba]

what are kairos' and luka's favourite flowers? i want to press them and make them into a bookmark (ﾉ ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

Man,, I was really hoping someone would ask this!! yay!

♡＼(￣▽￣)／♡

Kairos’ favorite flowers: purple roses!! 💜 The symbolism of love at first sight….. Passion and desire… Kairos just thinks that they’re absolutely perfect! They have a slightly enchanting aura to them that he can’t help but be drawn to..! He'd definitely be gifting these to his darling whenever he can, and also has some decorating his apartment. (However, he is pretty bad at taking care of them, so he usually just opts to buy fake ones ^^;.)

Luka’s favorite flowers: red chrysanthemums ❤️ Also symbols of love and deep passion (ღ˘⌣˘ღ). He finds them to be really striking– (with red also being his favorite color and all that!) Expect to get a bouquet of them for Valentine's Day!

[jotun-philosopher]

Yay, finally got my brain in gear to post this! :D

My local gaming store has (well, had -- that's a whole 'nother rant) various kinds of Lego flowers available, and after looking up the symbolic meanings of some of the cheaper ones, I realised I could do an Ineffable-Husbands-themed bouquet!

It's the one in the blue-and-white vase near the back -- cherry blossoms (renewal, the beauty and fragility of life), white and pink lotuses (fully bloomed = enlightenment, bud = spiritual journey, general = rebirth, purity, overcoming adversity), white and yellow daffodils (rebirth, hope, new beginnings) -- I was going to use dwarf sunflowers as well (meaning adoration) but I haven't been able to get hold of that kit yet. There's also the plum blossom on the right, for perseverance and faith in the face of hardship. All in all, it feels like a floral selection Aziraphale might pick out for Crowley preparatory to an Important Discussion about the misunderstandings of the Final Fifteen -- paging @vidavalor for sage commentary! (No pun intended)

I'm not sure what floriographic meanings might be ascribed to false shamrock, jade plant, laceleaf, venus flytrap, red sundew, yellow pitcher plant, britton's liveforever, eastern prickly pear cactus or pincushion cactus (the Tiny Plants set -- very fun to build!), but they look nice and it's worth noting that Pterry raised carnivorous plants as a hobby; apparently they're much less interesting than most people believe (to quote an author bio from one of the earlier Discworld novels).

[applestorms]

i was gonna write a more extensive post about this, but. fuck that i have too many points to write proper sentences rn, here's a bullet point list of my review of sonic 3. spoilers, obviously. tl;dr: i'm a hater

maria is fridged to hell and back, she is such a nothing character i have secondhand embarrassment for the writers every time she shows up. maria exists only to smile in flashbacks and lie in the flowers and go, "noooooooooooooooo, shadow :(( you can totally be whatever you want, dude," and then die on the floor. we don't even get to see her getting shot. fucking rip off.

to clarify-- maria absolutely does NOT have to be a fucking dead wife trope incarnate, imo. she can very easily be used that way, yes, but i think doing so also misses the core of her character and what she means for shadow. part of the appeal of the conversations that maria & shadow have on the arc in SA2 comes from the fact that they are characters coming from a very similar position, both being incredibly alienated from the rest of the world/humanity, daydreaming about it more than they are able to interact with it directly. like, come ON, they literally live on a fucking space station, the symbolism does not get that much more obvious?? it is the fact that maria CHOOSES to love humanity anyways, despite being unable to interact with it/live within it, that makes her words meaningful. jesus fucking christ.

anyways, speaking of. shadow has NO arc in this movie (literally and figuratively. did you seriously put the spaceship in Ohio) and it drives me up the wall. perhaps i'm just out of the loop on the Current Shit, but it feels like Nobody knows how to write that guy nowadays :((

not that i could fucking tell anyways in this particular movie from how little he shows up or SPEAKS. LET HIM SPEAAAAAK. i swear to GOD, he interacts w/ the main cast like three (3) fucking times in this entire movie and two of those interactions are fights. if you want those cute, quirky, somewhat cringe sonic/shadow interactions, you're better off watching the trailer plus whatever clips of the final fight inevitably end up on youtube, since that's basically their only real conversations in the entire movie.

the ending falls incredibly flat because of this. in the last movie, we at least had some decent character interactions between sonic & knux which made their fight and eventual team up at the end that much more satisfying. there was something to dig your teeth into, a back-and-forth that was entertaining (by sonic movie standards) but also established who they were, not only why they didn't like each other but how they could eventually bond. you had reason to care about knux, and reason to root for them to fight together!!

instead, here we got a whole lotta nothing. sonic and shadow fight, and it's cool, and it does all the Sick References and wowie yay clapping my hands live & learn blue/red lights cool. epic. yet i'm still left sitting here like WHO IS THIS BITCH??? WHO IS HE?????

fundamentally, the problem with this movie is that it Does Not Know what it's primary storyline is, or even who the main character is, and it falls flat on its fucking face because of it. there is no focus. sonic maybe barely kind of squeezes out an arc about teamwork and believing in your friends (a repetition of the last movie, i would argue, but whatever). eggman gets a much more hefty plotline about coming to terms with family, which i would be able to appreciate a whole lot more if it didn't feel like the only meaningful story arc in the entire fucking movie. robotnik bullshittery should be the B plot guys, come the fuck on. and shadow, of fucking course, gets NOTHING. he stands around looking grumpy and cool (and very cute, the animators did alright, i'll give them that), and emotes jack fucking shit. i know he's not a certified yapper like some people, but come the fuck on, he can still like. say words. right. RIGHT

is this review even comprehensible even more? i don't care, this is driving me insane. are you guys seeing this shit. are you.

this isn't even just me being a shipper and going wahh wahh no sonadow moments. you put those bitches on the poster why are they not talkinggg. even just an argument would be Great. it was like the one thing sonic prime figured out, why is it so empty here.

this also leads to the fundamental issue where i have NO fucking idea why either of them are so chill with each other by the ending. not only do i not know why shadow is so chill with sonic, considering he was just dead set on ending the fucking world to get revenge and one conversation is not enuf to convince me that he would get over it (even the lowkey suicidal tendencies fall somewhat flat for me since AGAIN. NOTHING), but i ALSO don't know why SONIC gives a shit about shadow!! or why he's so happy go lucky about all this!!! dawg he just killed the closest thing you have to a father. as much as i hate the humans in this series, even i have to sit for a minute and go uhh what? there is absolutely NOTHING to make their team up at the end of this emotionally meaningful other than the bland, surface level reaction of Yay Shadow And Sonic On Screen :) like the movie itself simply does not build up their rivalry in a meaningful enough way to make it feel worth it. one conversation can do a lot, but only if you have the build up to MAKE it mean a lot. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaugh

the ending being almost exactly the same as the beginning thus doesn't surprise me in the slightest cuz like. what else do you do. sonic Does Not have any reason to care about that bitch and neither does anyone else. his actual enemy eggman is presumably dead, so. who cares. a couple good fights then nice knowin' ya man o7 thanks for sacrificing yourself to save the world or whatever

the scene where shadow stalks the individual team members through the remains of their old military base/Ohio Arc stand in or whatever is cool, yes. one single hand clap for that. i like them making him ominous as fuck. but i just-- i need everybody to shut the fuck up for like two seconds so sonic and shadow can talk directly and have a proper fucking conversation before the literal end of the movie, like please just argue or SOMETHING. DO. SOMETHING. MEANING. LIKE A CHARACTER THING. WHO R U

also the eggman/stone shit drives me up the wall. another set of bitch ass writers too scared to make their characters canonically queer, so they bury their gays instead. idfc that they're inevitably going to revive him again, it's still stupid as shit. stone also does nothing in this movie so his internal "conflict" is dumb anyways aaaaskjdflksdjfl smacking my head on the keyboard

there comes a point in this movie where it really does feel like Everything is just about eggman and gerald. tails and knux stop being meaningful characters with personalities outside of quips by approximately the chao garden. sonic's weird human parents aren't even given a meaningful storyline outside of the one time that shadow punches him when they try to set up some miscommunication bullshit or whatever at the end. sonic and shadow fight but even that gets interrupted by... whatever the hell they were doing??? again, all of this would be way less aggravating if those scenes were able to fulfill their actual purpose: side bullshit funnie stuff to break up the serious scenes of the main plotline. unfortunately, this movie thinks a flashback to the traveling wilburys is sufficient to make its main character a complex, nuanced person. face in hands

seriously. why is that scene of eggman & gerald telling stone & shads to get back in the crab a microcosm of this entire film. orz

also also, before someone bitches at me for not paying close enough attention to [x] specific detail or whatever-- anything that you can easily miss on a first watch through should Not be integral to the plot of a movie. istg, i write scripts, i know how this shit works. if your audience can't figure out the emotional arc of a character after one watch, you have fundamentally failed your job as a writer. a flashback is not sufficient character writing, jfc.

and really, that's what it all comes down to, isn't it? the writing. it's always the Fucking writing with these movies. the animation here is, for the most part, fantastic, the voice acting is decent at worst, even the awkwardness of a half-human cast is somewhat smoothed over. yet the writing for these movies never fucking improves-- the jokes are still cringe at best, the references are blunt and unnatural, and the characters. have. no. arc.

perhaps it was somewhat inevitable that we end up at this point. this movie series has already been building up an entire universe of Other Bullshit, and it is here that we feel a lot of that crashing back down. the shelf could only stand up for so long.

i suppose in conclusion, my main takeaway from this movie is that it is an adaptation that fails. it does not understand who its characters are or what they want, it does not know why people connected to the characters it attempts to introduce on an emotional level, and it does not know how to make its own confusing lore work with all of the new details.

Alright Sezja info post yay!!

Sezja is a utopian who comes from neither the capital nor the town nobody knows where he really came from just that they showed up in the mistresses graveyard one day claiming to be the reincarnation of Victoria, they take the role of a mistress yet they don’t have visions only very strong ESP. Even after their falsehood is uncover victor allows them to stay in the Crucible for what exact reason who knows. By the time of the game they’ve became Maria’s consort (and it’s implied in dialogue they can not separate one from the other and sees the other’s reflection in the mirror instead of their own.) and often impose into the mistresses business with Maria’s permission since she upholds the idea Sezja is a rightful one.

Sezja provides the townsfolk with getting more extreme forms of medicine he can most often be found at the broken heart when not around Maria seeming to have quite the repertoire with the twins (possibly even having helped them cover up a crime.) from the original claim when they got into town they are not on good terms with the Olgimskays and Katerina believes Sezja was born from some kind of evil/ from a grave. In the changeling route they’re one of the people you attempt to convert only for them to threaten to blow you to kingdom come for ever daring to ask them to betray Maria. In the haruspex route they’re far more genuine asking about his relationship with his father and even revealing the treatment they suffered from their own father. In the bachelor route they suck they threaten to kill his husband multiple times call said husband a vile rat!! And just overall very deranged

Sezja’s behavior is very erratic one minute being calm and the next screaming out in frustration until he starts to sob he also appears to have a complex of sorts due to his physic abilities, though in reality it’s all a front a facade a scared person lashing out as it’s the only way they’ve learned to get attention. They feel a deep resentment towards maternal figures due to their mother turning a blind eye to their fathers mistreat of them because she cared more about her marriage then her own child, Sezja genuinely believe the lies they tell and get very distressed when it’s pointed out he is being dishonest they often go crying to Maria to have figures who question them dealt with.

Other info!! Sezja is transmasc and genderfluid and goes by they/he pronouns, his symbolic animal is a crow, his favorite flowers are black dahlias, if given the chance Sezja will sleep on top of Maria like a cat, Sezja and Maria are the same age, his voice claim is una from turgor/the void, Sezja got all his piercings done by one of the twins while said twin was drunk and just prayed they wouldn’t get infected. Has a very difficult time touching dirty items due to fear of infection and has difficulty with eye contact and social interactions beyond the pre established emotional outbursts.

He’s aware of the rat prophet very aware of the rat prophet, he constantly screws with Peter by pretending they actually are a woman and he’s getting their gender incorrect when referring to them, despite their nature Sezja seems to genuinely care about all of the termites and openly worries about their safety even requesting not to give medication to him and instead give it to one of them!! They are also referred to as a witch who came from the sea a term which he’s taken as a compliment instead of any insult

Uhhh if you made it to the end here’s Sezja chibi but looking like a cat?? I dunno why I drew?? Oh also here’s their official playlist of songs that remind me of them https://open.spotify.com/playlist/43G1ciZBdmaoq6fSDum4rq?si=FMKPvyeTRsOnjQqVAbrU-A&pi=u-HXgokpDQQqSD

havent posted in a while uhm. have a jared. yapping under the cut

SO UUHMMM i am a big flower language slash symbolism nerd. there is intent behind all of those flowers and today i am going to nerd out about that intent because YAY!!!!!!! hip hip hooray uhm. idk how to segway into this next paragraph just please bear with me here okay

so uhmmm. the flowers jared's holding in his hand are bird's foot trefoil and theyyyyy symboliiiiiise revenge n shit yeah n you know how jared. jared he uhhh he he killed his verbally abusive mom LMAO womp womp uhhh. yeah

those big poofy pom-pom flowers with the petals that look like pencil parings r carnations and theyre YELLOW so theyre yellow carnations which surprise! greatly changes the meaning of em. usually carnations symbolise love n devotion n all that jazz but YELLOW carnations symbolise rejection. jareds been rejected all his life basically thus explaining why theres a shit ton of carnations surrounding him so like yeah yeah ok

the other flowers are dandelions and rather than them being used in this little doodle i diddled by their literal symbolism i uhm. i put them in there because they are considered weeds!!! we all know what weeds are but ill explain what they are anyways weeds are basically just. unwanted plants. and jared is definitely unwanted methinks. and also jared smokes weed duh

that last part was a joke jared does NOT smoke weed. probably. maybe. unless?

end of yapping

[neathbound-fiends]

My rough timeline of the major plot points for the Horticultural Show for people who didn't play it

It came to my attention from a friend being like "bestie WHAT is going on over there" that the fact that the plot moved so rapidly and had a lot of different moving pieces was hard to understand from just discussion and the dash, so here is my (rough) sequence of events for clarity and handy dandy purposes. If anyone else wants to correct something or add on, please do!

Garden festival (yay! Everyone spent the first day gardening and having fun!)

the opening ceremony happens, and during that Starved Men start attacking the City. no one is happy about this happening

we begged for help, and everyone said no :(

Sinning Jenny and the Admiralty actually end up helping (Jenny organizing volunteers for the relief effort like tending to the wounded and repairing damaged buildings, the Admiralty organizing volunteers for trying to drive the Starved Men out with violence)

this isn't working! at all! so we get sent to go look for clues about the Starved Men and how to actually defeat them and what they might want from us

we get a bunch of clues and now we can actually start hurting them and getting them to leave! everyone is excited about this part because it's the first time it feels like there's actually hope

we capture a few Starved Men that surrender, and who are the last ones in the City, and they're held prisoner in the brig on one of the ships while scholars try and figure out how to communicate with them

we can talk now! yippee! the Admiralty thinks these guys suck and doesn't wanna talk, Jenny wants to understand why. they tell us that it looks like the City is gonna be destroyed so they came down to try and make it Weird™️ in a way it'll survive this. there is also revealed to be another group of Starved Men who think it would be kinder to us to just murder us all instantly and are planning to flood London with sunlight. we are all distressed to hear this

we are now working on a two pronged approach: gather more allies to help fight with us and destroy the weapon (an oculus, which is basically a big sphere that's gonna have the light hit it and then it'll make the light go everywhere and burn everyone to death), and to actually FIND where they've got it. people get to take airships to the roof to look for the weapon, and you can take your ship and other things to other locations to recruit allies

we found it! now we have to destroy it. your player character goes with the group that's actually there to destroy it. other groups are running interference and trying to keep you safe to make it through

if you took too much damage, I guess you just land? I'm not sure, because I passed all my checks to not get smoked. I failed the check to destroy the oculus with the cannons, but even if you passed it, it doesn't actually destroy it, so you can't win. you either try and evade and land or you can crash your ship directly into it and the shaft of sunlight that will definitely permanently kill you

it doesn't! you get killed by the crash before you're killed by the sunlight, so you're good! everything worked out in the end!

the Boat Man confirms that London is not destroyed, which is handy because although it would be INCREDIBLY funny to have an event that ends the game completely and unexpectedly in concept, people would not like it if it actually happened. you get the option to either be relieved by this, pessimistic because what's the point if it'll probably happen again, or so outrageously overjoyed you start bellowing songs (and the Boat Man thinks you're so annoying he instantly clears your wounds so you go away)

you can plant stuff in a new community garden because Londoners decided to replant as a symbolic thing of moving forward! a Starved Man comes and you can either be like "fuck this guy, get out of here" and then destroy the flower he plants, or "come in friend and plant your thing" (I chose to let him plant the thing and then planted my own thing)

Aheem aheem Saw this meme and thought u may find it fun with the DSTD trio!

Sorry for linking to the hellsite (derogatory) but they deserve credit for the meme cx

I love me a meme!! Here's the gang. In ✨colour,✨even

Swapped out object for weather because it was more relevant to the story!

Also, in the process of looking up symbolism for the first flowers that came to mind, learned that sunflowers are a real actual symbol for invisible disabilities?? Kind of ironic given the Wizard is the most visibly disabled person on the cast but like bonus extra symbolism, yay!!

💐 BOUQUET - create a bouqet for them! what do those flowers mean? are any of the flowers their particular favourite?

I'm not a flower expert and don't know too much about the flower meanings but,,,

I guess you could always go with Rose/s for Veronica! since she is a toreador and it's their clan symbol

she is pretty much like rose - pretty but has sharp torns and all that

BUT you could also give her Queen of the Night, because wouldn't THAT be such a flattery hoho

also fun fact

Gregory, a man who used to be a dragon (fairy chimera in the shape of red dragon, to be exact) who Veronica and Charlie had a duel with, came to Rene's house after the duel to have negotiation with and also to meet Veronica and give her a gift - an extremely poisonos flower, trapped in a glass ball. Very extravagant and expensive gift...

He said something about the flower being as beautiful as dnagerous, just like Veronica (i dont remember the exact quote lol). Because during the battle at the duel Veronica was able to notice his weak spot on his neck and was attacking him furiously there, so he probably thought of her as a dangerous oponent (he didnt know she was almost out of blood points and probably wouldnt last long unless Charlie hasn't unleashed the demon from the sword he had but shhh)

Veronica wasn't fan of him or his gift and didn't want to see his face at all but she accepted a gift anyway, because if this man was to become Rene's new buisness partner, she didn't want to make things worse

🎵 MUSIC NOTE - what is their playlist like? their favourite artists? do you associate a particular song with them?

im also not an expert on music eitherrr fdhgfjgfjgfjfd

UNLIKE VERONICA!!!! whos very much into music! actually her toreador weakness is that she can become hypnotized/zoned out by good music! (which lead to unexpected conclusion that she either would be hypnotized by her own singing... or she doesn't consider her singing good.... so there is a little angsty note(lol) to that - Veronica never thinks her singing is good enough... because she never became a singer, how she dreamed... even tho her singing IS very good... she doesnt feel it :') )

I think Veronica likes lots of different music genres, from opera singing to rock and pop etc

i cant be specific bc im dum dum when it comes to music, singers, and music history OTL unlike Veronica! typical case of "my character is smarter than me" kind of shit hahaha

NOW TO THE SONGS THAT REMIND ME OF VERONICA HAHA YAY (ill put under read more so i dont take too much of your dash)

the curse - as the vampirism and beast and bloodthirst and such

love profusion - Veronica's relationship with her sire (she got them under her skin... quite literally haha). Especially fits well with the begining of it - when she was embrased and there is no resurection :')

bye bye baby - Veronica leaves her sire and joins anarchs

teach me to fight - her anarch years basically (also the closest of what i imagine her voice be.. i never was good at imagining character's voices alas U_U )

shut up and drive - perfect vibes for Veronica's driving (and not only) hahaha

cold souls - that's actually song not so much for Veronica but for her sire when he found her dying and had impulsive desision to embrace her. I wrote more about it here

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR QUESTION!!!! FINALLY I GOT TO SHARE VERONICAS SNGS WITH YOUUUU <3

[hearth4days]

Can you tell me some about Zoy and Franny's wedding? -twirls hair- canon or hcs. I've been meaning to ask for references for the commission

Mostly headcanons because canon is incredibly vague about everything ever as always <3

Wedding Festival for reference

Okay so all we know canonically about their wedding is that Ote is conceived here ("o semen, o origin/here you are Maryam [Mary] the god-bearer/calmly, keenly/let's exchange gasping vows"), and it's implied that it was pretty intense based on apparently everyone hoping for it to be over with quickly. Yay violent sex <3 It's also shown in Zoy1 that Zoy grew up alongside Franny to some degree, and loved her before they were married in ways beyond just animalistic lust

As for not really anything canonically but still worth noting, the Japanese title is actually 婚祭

On to headcanons, I think (being a wedding, and a very religiously important on at that) it's important to consider what their religion is about, what it is they see as holy and practice and such. Based on the perspective we get from Zoy, Ito, and Ote, it seems very focused on pleasure and indulging in more base needs and wants. We also see this in Abuse's other works about beastmen, but those aren't related here. They especially seem to focus on sex, violence, and food (esp cannibalism). Considering beastmen seem to have a higher ranking in this religion (as it is presumably a beastmen cult obv), this makes sense with Abuse establishing that beastmen tend to have more animalistic urges than standard humans

Since Zoy's wedding would be not only a standard wedding under this religion, but also a celebration of their religion as a whole with Zoy being the current leader, I think this would be amped up to the nth degree. The title designating it as a festival also implies this was a very large celebration, and probably a decently long one too. We see a lot of flowers in the PV which seem to be religiously important in general, a lot of colors which Abuse also uses as symbolism a lot. I'd assume a lot of food, but that's less relevant for Zoy and Frannie than the random side characters who probably got some yummy BBQ. The conception of Ote sticks out to me though, especially since it seems like this was also considered "vows" and "celebration". They 100% fucked in front of everybody, and nobody gets pregnant after having sex once. I'd imagine it went on for days of just like. Everybody in their little commune hanging out while Zoy's trying to fuck a baby into Frannie for three days straight lmao

He feels bad tho because he is a sopping wet malewife <3

Ranchiki Manji Musume (English translation)

Come on over, take a look

Whatever you may do, all is forgiven

This beautifully flowering generation is unparalleled

So come on, let’s lose our minds tonight!

Ha ha ha ha ha RANCHIKI*

Lose peace of mind

Stumble off the rails

Fall into disorder

Make a fuss

Raise it higher, burst it open, do your best, fly away

It’s scary, so get pumped up, talk lively, feel the high

Is it no good? Impossible? It’s bad? You’re gonna cry?

It’s okay? Let’s go? Let’s do it?

Okay, let’s go—!!

Alright then, let’s charge ahead!

Let’s do it, go for it, go off the walls!

Lose your mind, be an idiot, make a mess and go crazy, YAY!

We’re invincible, so right now

Is the strongest youth celebration in history!

Ranraranra rarararara

Ranraranra, be a lively girl!**

Ranraranra, let it bloom profusely!

This beautifully flowering generation is simply unparalleled!

Ha ha ha ha ha RANCHIKI

Go screw it up

Go on and provoke

Get stirred up

Burn it all down

Raise it higher, burst it open, do your best, fly away

It’s scary, so get pumped up, talk lively, feel the high!

Is it no good? Impossible? It’s bad? You’re gonna cry?

It’s okay? Let’s go? Let’s do it?

Okay, let’s go—!!

All right, let’s go get ourselves another helping!

Get drunk, throw up, go off the walls!

Lose your mind, be an idiot, make a mess and go crazy, YAY!

Come on, traps are made to be broken out of

So let’s get it going, summon a grand storm!

Ranraranra rarararara

Ranraranra, be a lively girl!

Ranraranra, let us pass by

All the ups and downs, everything, bring it on!

Inspire youthful foolishness, play with fire

And set ablaze this dangerous scandal

It’s okay if we’re scolded

Alright, everyone come out and sing together as one

Do whatever the hell you want in your life

Relax a little, let’s play around until we die!

Yes, let’s do it one last time!

Let’s do it, go for it, go off the walls!

Lose your mind, be an idiot, make a mess and go crazy, YAY!

We’re invincible, so right now

Is the strongest youth celebration in history!

Keep going in an infinite loop, resist the impermanence of all that is!

Ranraranra rarararara

Ranraranra, be a lively girl!

Ranraranra, let it bloom profusely!

This beautifully flowering generation is simply unparalleled!

Ha ha ha ha ha RANCHIKI!!!

Notes (sorry they’re long)

*Ranchiki (乱痴気) means to be lively, wild, chaotic to the point of losing reason. “Go crazy” I figure makes the most sense in this part, but I didn’t want to omit any of the meaning on accident by using an English phrase. Same point applies to any other offhand “ranchiki” in the song

**The phrase, and title of the song, 乱痴気卍娘 “Ranchiki manji musume” I translated as “lively girl.” Again, I don’t want to accidentally omit any of the meaning! In Japanese, this would best imply a crazy, wild young girl causing a commotion.

Here he also uses“Manji” (卍) which is a sign of luck in Buddhism. It can also be used in text as a symbol of excitement. He uses it a lot in the lyrics but never actually says it out loud, similar to how in some songs he writes 笑 in the official lyrics for emphasis on jokes etc
