Portrait of Dina Margareta de Bye

Artist: Willem van Mieris (Dutch, 1662-1747)

Date: 1705

Medium: Oil on panel

Collection: The Leiden Collection, New York City, NY, United States

Description

Standing before an imaginary rocky landscape, a woman handsomely attired in an orange-tinged brown satin dress with an aqua-blue shawl draped across her body smiles charmingly out at the viewer. On the left, behind a partially drawn curtain and in front of a pillar, stands a fountain with a statue of a cupid riding a sea monster. The woman holds an orange in her left hand and carefully selects a red carnation from a bunch of flowers lying on a stone plinth faced with a carved relief sculpture of an unidentified allegorical subject. Resting on this garden plinth is a colored drawing of a flower, a small wooden box, some paintbrushes, and a couple of shells containing pigments.

The identification of the sitter is established by an eighteenth-century inscription written in Dutch on the back of the panel: “Dina Margareta de Bye, born on 7 May 1680 and deceased on 26 August 1740.” Dina Margareta was the second daughter of Johan Paeuw de Bye, a lawyer from Leiden, and his wife, Anna van Oorthoorn. In 1703 Dina Margareta married Pieter van der Dussen (1675–1726), also a lawyer, and moved from Leiden, where she apparently had been living with her parents on the Rapenburg, to her husband’s native city of Dordrecht. As Willem van Mieris already enjoyed a great reputation among the Leiden elite, he was a suitable choice to portray the esteemed Dina Margareta, even after she had moved to Dordrecht.

Astro Observations- 35

Libra Venus’s are usually so artistically gifted but rarely ever believe in their talents. They’re usually really good at thinks like interior design, party planning/decorating, makeup ect. I notice most never believe they’re that good but the stuff they create is so aesthetically pleasing. If they get confident enough they have the ability to run a really successful business just off their creative

Venus in Leo’s also have amazing artistic talent but the only difference is they have a lot more confidence showcasing their art compared to Libra Venus who’s more indecisive about if their work should be displayed. Most Leo Venus’s I meet are amazing drawers and painters and usually make money from their creativity easy. Also this placement is very ambitious, most I see are well educated and usually make a good amount of money ( probably because of their love for luxury they tend to strive higher than most).

Mercury in the 12th house people are always complaining on how no one understands them but also refuses to talk about themselves.

Scorpio moons I feel like are way more sensitive than cancer and Pisces moons. They just conceal it better.

Capricorn moon are the worst people to vent to imo. It’s like emotions are completely foreign to you them you’ll be crying about ur feeling and they’ll just stare at you like “•—•” Aquarius moons can be like that too but I feel like they’re more open to listening to your feelings while cap moons choose to avoid them completely

On the flip side cancer moons I feel like are the best to vent too. I feel like talking to them is such a no judge zone they’ll just listen to you and support you. They’re natural made therapists!

I notice a lot of Virgo suns are obsessed with being popular or seen as “cool”. It’s probably due to their perfectionist tendencies. Can act a little fake to get people to admire them (ESPECIALLY with Libra placements).

Cancer suns with Gemini placements can be big copy cats

Aquarius moons really love music. They have the most unhinged playlists though😂

Usually cancer Venus’s get married and start a family very young. They mature fast in a romantic sense.

Pisces Venus’s attract so many admirers (it’s an exhalted placement) but because of this they can never make up their mind on who to settle down with. No one talks about how bad these people’s commitment issues are especially the men. They can be more indecisive than libra Venus’s.

Virgo moons stop giving advice no one asks for. Lecturing people about their flaws 24/7 will not help fix them

Venus in retrograde individuals tend to lack a lot of social etiquette. People usually perceive these people as rude or disrespectful.

People with Capricorn and Aquarius in their chart are just tooo cool. Everything they do they make look really cool even if they’re picking their nose. They give off a confidence vibe like they just know what they’re doing which causes a lot of people to follow them or try to impress them. Giving CEO vibes.

Aqua Venus’s are really attractive when they act nonchalant and don’t care. The more the look like they don’t care they draw mad ppl in.

Taurus moons are called boring a lot by their peers

Saturn in 5th & 7th house 🤝 taking things way too seriously when it should be fun

Hello! This is likely a bit random, but, when I went to Trey’s profile on both wiki’s a while back, I was caught off guard by the “mustard yellow” label for his eye color. Was his eye color officially described as such anywhere? I always thought that they were amber. Thank you!

Hello hello! Thank you for this question! ♣️

Trey's eye color is listed as "mustard" in the official Magical Archives Game Guide, vol.1 (2020)! ^^

Trey's connection to food is maybe part of what led to his eyes being described as "mustard" instead of "amber" in official materials, not only because Trey was raised in a bakery but because Trey himself is often comparing things to food and cooking implements!

So "mustard" might very well be how Trey would describe his own eye color, if asked ^^

(Above: Trey compares Eliza's veil to "a freshly-bleached dishtowel" and her eyes to "grapes," the sight of Floyd and Jack fighting to a "giant blender," Kalim's home to turnips and unripe tomatoes, and Ortho's outfit to jelly.)

And Yana has commented before on how her methods behind deciding character eye color descriptions:

"When designing a character's coloring, I decide based on their background and overall balance. However, when putting things into words for design materials/documents, especially for eye color, I often incorporate the character's inner nature and special abilities. For Sebastian's eyes, rather than saying 'reddish-brown,' I might say 'tea-colored.' I do the same for the Twisted Wonderland characters.

For an ambitious character I might say 'sky,' and for a character with an aloof attitude, 'smoky.' I enjoy contemplating on not just the hue but also whether colors are harsh, sweet, natural, artificial, etc. Many colors are named after places or painters, like 'Turkish__' or 'Raphael __ .' For Twisted Wonderland (another world), I spent a lot of time poring over color dictionaries." - Toboso Yana (2023/2/24)

Trey - Mustard

Cater - Leaf Green (originally a shade of red)

Ace - Cherry Red

I tried to make a mock-up of my own alternative take On My Little Pony: Generation 5.

I had a lot of fun designing these, I won’t lie. The main idea was to bring back the mane (main) cast of characters all having drastically contrasting, strong personalities and color palettes. I think that was what G4 succeeded best at, and would probably (I’m no expert) increase marketability and make people want to buy the toys more.

I took inspiration for the new art style direction from an MLP G4 manga cover , not sure if it’s official or not, but I like that style a ton, I think it’s super cute and would be a good direction for a new show. This is of course operating under the assumption the new generation would just stay 2D instead of branching to 3D animation. I tried my best to mimic the style , I don’t think I did the best at that, but that art style on the manga cover is what I think they should go for. Maybe with a more pencil-textured brush for the outline. Feels unique from G4, but still cute in my opinion.

Instead of Friendship or Unity, the unifying theme tying all the characters together would be Artistic creativity and using it to express yourself. All the characters would represent a different form of art. The main villain being a bat-pony with wings and a horn, a mad scientist type who builds robots and gadgets to fight the main cast with the goal of stealing their art and feeding it through big, industrial machines to pump out hodge-podge mashed together copies and create her own art museums to profit off of them. They have to fight to take back their art and create works that express who they are without it being stolen or mass produced by machines and robots. She’s kind of inspired by Opaline but I tried to give her an alternative design. I also took a bit of inspiration from Dr. Eggman from the Sonic franchise. In general my take on this generation is kind of inspired by Sonic with these animal characters fighting against robots and industrialization. Specifically the Sonic Boom Cartoon with the beachy setting and vibes.

We also have the main character, Aqua Seastar, a yellow unicorn who’s got a very curious, inquisitive, detective type personality, ( very clearly my version of Zipp from the Make Your Mark Cartoon, because I actually liked the personality they gave her there, a lot) she’s constantly trying to solve all the mysteries that crop up around the island and poking around to learn new things. She’s also an aspiring animator who wants to make a cartoon about a detective squirrel inspired by her own adventures.

Speaking of characters from G5 I’ve based these characters on, Cloudy skies is basically my version of Izzy. A very similar personality, ( particularly how she’s characterized in the movie A New Generation, I think that’s where she’s at her best) just with the added twist of her being the motherly one of the group and a bit protective and neurotic about other’s safety. Also inspired a bit by Wammawink from Centaurworld or Ragatha from TADC. She’s the arts and crafts pony , with yarn and sewing needles in her hair. She’s also a Pegasus and I swapped her mane and coat color cause I figured we needed a blue pony.

Shellda is basically my answer to Sparky, a baby sea turtle who was orphaned and no one in the sea cared for her because she couldn’t keep up and would just “slow them down” . She eventually gets adopted by the main cast as a little sister figure and starts off shy but really comes into her own over time, gaining more confidence and becoming a watercolor painter. Also she can talk. She’s more of a toddler than a newborn.

I tried to imagine this setting as playing into being on a beach / island way more . Maybe coral reefs instead of trees on the surface , mythical creatures the ponies could encounter like in G4 , but specifically based on sea and marine animals. Like crabs made of rock or something. A stage in the center of town for GlimGlam Hot-Trot to perform on that looks like a giant clam. Whenever they travel off the island they could do it on a big pirate ship instead of a hot air balloon or a plane. Stuff like that.

This generation would also have modern tech but mainly for the sake of creating art, like art tablets and programs . As well as Dr. Nightwing and Terra Byte being inventors who create gadgets.

Overall , I have way too many ideas to go over in one post but I put a lot of thought into this and I hope you guys like it. What are your thoughts ? Do you have any questions about any specific characters or anything ? Let me know, cause I love MLP especially G4 and I had a lot of fun making this. Might be using these characters again sometime, soon.

If you would like to support me , feel free to check out my Kofi page , I offer commissions and you can also just donate if you’d like to , but please don’t feel pressured. I hope you enjoyed the art and have a good rest of your day ! 💕🧡

Alias: Mesulia/ Medea Crane

Hero Name: Nairo

Gem: (naiad + blue)

Activation: (Aqua. Let's make a splash!)

Weapon: (baseball bat)

Special Attack: (Change the Tides)

Optional Short bio: A punkish spray painter

Okay, so first of all, I am so sorry, I had to change some of these things because there's already a water-based enchantling 😓

Also, quick explanation for the naiad! The original idea was Scylla, but I wanted that to be the spirit's name, so we decided to go with the naiad even though it's sort of a human looking thing. To be clear, Scylla will have no human features here, she's a weird monster with a lot of heads and mouths.

Meet Nairo, the intelligent newest member of the Enchantlings! Her thought process is near impossible to follow, but her plans usually seem to work out just fine. She often clashes with Hydrous.

◇ Alias: Medea Crane

◇ Hero Name: Nairo

◇ Gem: Naiad Sapphire

◇ Activation: Enchanting frost!

◇ Weapon: baseball bat

◇ Special Attack: Freezing Point

@gwynrielweeksofficial Day 8 - Poetry

A 'Gwyn & Azriel' kind of love...

Falling in love doesn't always involve thunder and lighting. Expressing love doesn't require one to find words that have never been said nor grand gestures that will set the world aflame. Love is still love whether one shouts it from the rooftop for the world to hear or simply declares it privately. All of this to say... I think that with Gwyn & Azriel’s love story, there is beauty to be found in simplicity.

Here's a poem by Carolyn Devonshire that I think fits this side of Gwynriel perfectly.

Comfortable Love - Carolyn Devonshire

Some painters challenge us with art abstract

We study them and speculate intent

My love, he takes the short route; it’s a fact

He speaks three words, no question what he meant

The intellectuals look for new ways

To speak of love in words no one has heard

Or verse for songs that no one ever plays

For love is truly greater than a word

His aqua hazel eyes convey a heart that’s true

On chilly nights, his warm arms hold me close

No words he speaks, but do not misconstrue

When love is true, who needs the grandiose

We’ve learned to find peace in the quiet time

Together any steep path we can climb

[ammomancer]

pn character name post...TWO! last name edition and also the random psychonauts around the motherlobe who i didn't feel like including in the first one

including ones that aren't real surnames but are real words/clearly plays on real words. if one is missing assume either it doesn't mean anything/I couldn't find a meaning or I didn't think it needed explaining (e.g. Sweetwind, Doom)

Aquato - clearly a play on "aqua"

Nein - "no" in German

Zanotto - from a diminuitive of Zane or Zani/Zanni, the Venetian form of Gianni, which is short for Giovanni, which is the Italian form of "John" (God is gracious, Hebrew). unrelated but "Zanni" is also where we get the English word "zany"

Oleander - a flowering shrub that is grown as an ornamental or landscape plant despite being poisonous

Cruller - a kind of twisty donut :)

Boole - possibly from a Middle English word for bull

Canola - genericized trademark of a brand of cooking oil. the "can" is short for "Canada"

Zilch - German surname of uncertain etymology, slang for 'nothing'

Athens - after the Greek city, which Athena was probably named after, not the other way around

Lutefisk - Norwegian word for a traditional Nordic fish dish. it's soaked in lye.

Bulgakov - son of Bulgak (Bulgak being a surname in its own right that means "restless" or "troublesome"). Mikhail is probably named after the Russian author Mikhail Bulgakov, best known for The Master and Margarita

Fir - as in a fir tree

Phage - short for bacteriophage; a Greek suffix meaning "eater"

Bubai - Mandarin word meaning "invincible"

Tripe - animal stomach lining prepared for food; figuratively used to mean nonsense or valueless ideas/writing

Fideleo - possibly from Latin "fidelis", faithful/loyal

Cooper - barrel maker (English)

Soleil - "sun" in French

Houndstooth - a fabric pattern (that Becky does not wear)

Rolls - likely alluding to fat rolls

Bonaparte - French-ified version of Buonaparte, an Italian surname meaning "good match" or "good solution"

Teglee - derived from famed black velvet painter Edgar Leeteg; "Leeteg" was originally "Lütig", which I can't find a straight answer on what that means

Inflagrante - from "in flagrante", a shortened version of "in flagrante delicto", a Latin term that literally translates to "while the crime is blazing" and basically means "in the act"; it can refer to being in the act of doing something bad but particularly when shortened also means. well. in the act of Doing A Sex

DeLucca - alternate spelling of Italian De Luca, "[child] of Luca"; Luca ultimately meaning "from Lucania"

Pokeylope - pokey (slow) + lope (to walk slowly). good turtle name

Loboto - clearly a play on "lobotomy"

Forsythe - man of peace (Scottish Gaelic)

Natividad - Spanish for "nativity", meaning birth but particularly referring to the births of Mary or Jesus. a common name in the Philippines in addition to Spanish-speaking countries

Martinez - son of Martin (Spanish). "Martin" is derived from "Mars", Roman god of war and root of the word "martial"

Joseph - "he [God] will add" (Hebrew)

Gette - variation of Goethe, derived from "Gott" (God in Middle High German as well as modern German)

Neriman (also spelled Nariman) - a name of Persian origin, possibly meaning "brave mind"

Potts - topographical name. if you lived near holes in the ground you might have gotten called Potts

Malik - "king" in Arabic and various other Semitic languages; as a surname, is most common in India and Pakistan

OKAY now for the miscellaneous motherlobe NPCs

Brianne - "hill" or "power" (Celtic)

Chet - short for Chester, "fortress" (Latin)

Colin - young dog (Scottish)

Crenshaw - possibly "twisted wood" (Old English)

Dustin - from Thorsteinn, "Thor's stone" (Old Norse)

Evan - from the Welsh form of John

Forrest - take a guess.

Frank - Frenchman, more or less

Hawkins - diminuitive of Hawk or of Hal (from Henry, "home ruler", Germanic)

Jared - descent (Hebrew)

Kim - diminuitive of various names

Kramer - shopkeeper, merchant (German)

Lance - land (German/Old Saxon)

Larry - short for Laurence, "from Laurentum" (Latin)

Lori - short for Laura (laurel) or Lorraine (kingdom of Lothar, a Frankish king)

Sherri - from "cherie", French for darling

Susan - lily (Hebrew)

Thad - short for Thaddeus, Greek name of unclear origin

Black Clover Next Generation IV ♣️💘

Family Tree of House Boismortier (@acacia-may, you might like this)

Rills mother, Soleil, one day make made amends with her son and they are both close again. She also took Charmy in her heart.

Of course, no one is more supportive of Rillmy than Walter.

Fun fact, while there was a big announcement at the Aqua Deers about their relationship (the Aqua Deers had a celebration in their honor for the occasion), Rill and Charmy completely forgot for some reasons to announce it as well to the Black Bulls. So, each time a Black Bull found out about them, both asked genuinely "You didn't know?". It was always lead to funny scenes.

Vanessa was pretty upset that they forgot to tell them, because they couldn't have a party at the right time. She asked Nozel to scold Rill for that.

But of course, there was a party to celebrate the couple nonetheless, along with the Aqua Deers.

When Rill and Charmy got married, they moved into a cute cottage, not that far away from their respective squads and Charmys favorite restaurants.

Their first son is Loup (French for wolf). He is a wild and adorable brat who loves to eat and even more to cook.

Their second son was born two years later, named Claude (I gave him this name in honor of Claude Monet, one of my favorite painters). He is kind, optimistic and very passionate about his painting. Like his brother, he also loves to eat (those are Charmys sons, after all 😂).

Loup and Claude are both kinda chubby.

Loup will actually grow very big, almost as captain Yami. Claude is more on the tiny side.

None of them wants to become a Magic Knight. Claude wants to concentrate on his painting, while Loup wants to open a restaurant. They both know how to fight pretty well, though.

Charmy, Rill, Loup and Claude are a fluffy family. Add Walter to it, who is like a loving, doting grandfather for Rills sons.

Rill has painted every family portrait of the next generation.

Loup has his father's pale blue hair, which he wears long and down, and his mother green eyes, he got Food magic. Claude has black fluffy hair and his father's pink eyes, add to this Painting magic.

Since they both partly dwarves, they can also change into a tiny form, but unlike their mother, they're more in human forms. When they have their tiny forms, they both have Wool magic, just like Charmy.

If you had to make a rouges galllery for a new plastic man run/tv show, waht villans would you use?

In the category of Classic Deranged Women, left to right:

Granite Lady is a given. She's great and everyone knows it. Next.

Madam Brawn. Her and her lady gangsters NEED to take their rightful spot as Plas' recurring archenemy. She can still get impaled as long as she miraculously returns with a grudge and a badass chest scar a la Norman Osborn.

Thrilla. Electricity/magnetism powers and incredibly fun design.

Electra might need a name change to de-emphasize the electrical angle, but she's a coal-eating omnicidal android (gynoid?) who's convinced Plas is synthetic as well. Great setup.

In the category of Just Some Guys, left to right:

Elmer Body, bodyswapper, to remind everyone that identity theft is as important to Plastic Man as slapstick is.

Slicer and Doser. Lot of mileage you could get out of a Dib Membrane-like determination to dissect our protagonist.

Sadly-Sadly, as the paragon of the contagious-emotion villain.

Foyle, AKA Colonel Cool. It's probably the Spider-Man fan in me, but I love the trope of the spurned coworker suddenly deciding to kill you for being a jerk.

In the category of Hell Is That Thing, left to right/top to bottom:

The hands. They're severed hands. They steal.

The shapeshifting salt-eating alien, for more identity theft hijinks. Pairing Plas with shapechangers is a frequent thing but this might be my favorite one.

At least ONE of the goopy villains Plas has fought before--this is Mr. Aqua, but the Ooze Brothers, sludge monsters, and the guy made of lava all fit this niche and it's so hard to pick.

Flatscreen. He was in a minute long DC Nation skit. Would love to learn what his deal actually is.

There are lots of Golden Age stories that I think would be fun in animated adaptation, even if they don't contribute to a "rogues gallery". The deaf gangster and the woman with the hypnotizing voice (PC 49), the sniper going after sign painters, and the man with the dream machine (PC 78) come to mind.

Also, hear me out,

I know Ruby Thursday and the Spot are Marvel, but I don't think anyone would notice if we just, er, borrowed them for Plas for a minute, would they?

I don't think we talk enough about the Grey Deer squad.

Now known as the Aqua Deer Squad, the one that Rill the painter guy is captain of.

Like, Yami and Julius were in a squad together.

What gets more bizzare than that.

The Wizard king and the head of what was considered the worst magic squad.

Were once squad mates.

And it wasn't just them in the squad.

Marx François was there, Julius's right hand man.

Makes sense.

And than you have Nacht's brother, Morgan and William Vengeance.

The captain of the Golden Dawn and the son of a family that deals with devil's.

And two other guys we don't know much about but are just kinda... There.

I need stories man.

I wanna know what these asshole's were doing, their quests the whole shabang.

Julius basically went around like your magic is cool and you are werid join my squad.

Which Yami definitely took notes of if his recruitment of the Black Bulls is anything to go by.

It also just shows how important the bonds between squads are because Captain Vengeance, Marx and Yami all have immense respect for Julius.

As does he with them.

And especially with Yami and Captain Vengeance who are one point or more are ostracised by the rest of the kingdom.

Julius has stood tall as their confident.

Much in the way the Black Bulls all rally to defend Asta.

And it's just heartwarming to see that those bonds never died out.

That and it implies that Nacht and Julius know each other personally and I just find that wild.

And she should apologize, but the words that gush out are more like, “You cheated on me,” which isn’t an apology at all. Unless it is (between the lines). Martyn winces, still shaking coffee from his arm. “I was coming back… I just took the wrong subway car. I swear… I was coming back.” No. No, not this again. Cat and yarn; hold the mouse. Cleo’s nails dig into the lines in her palms, scraping out cinnamon flecks. “Martyn, Scott heard it from Pearl’s mouth. Just… Tell me you were drunk or something. At least try to make up a story I’ll believe. Do you even care? Am I just…? Does it even matter to you, what I think?” And with a hasty backpedal, “If she took advantage, you can tell me. You can tell me. She’s Scott’s ex anyway; I’ve got her blocked everywhere I could think of. We never talk.” “It was late and I boarded the wrong subway,” Martyn says again, but he is lying. It’s always an excuse; never an apology.

Martyn coughs up flowers for years after the divorce, making bank as a florist, dye salesman, painter... anything he can put his on-and-off Hanahaki disease to use for.

Cleo just wants to move on.

Double Life SMP & Limited Life SMP-themed Hanahaki AU, set in a modern Hermitcraft universe

New Rules

- 🥀 -

Martyn Littlewood started dyeing at age 31.

Every day, 6:15 AM, Cleo stands by the stairs that lead down to the subway, waiting by the window while Martyn rips flowers from his skin. The stems snap off, but the roots remain. They’ve got him so fiercely, tongue-tied and ripped apart, that every time he laughs, he sounds more undead than alive. How many surgeries can a florist afford to get those things removed? Or does he do it all himself? He looks awful sometimes (especially in the summer) when thorny vines wrap his arms and legs. Sometimes his arms hang like limp meat at his sides. The tubes, canes, and chairs he uses look increasingly expensive.

32-year-old Martyn Littlewood runs the flower shop in Aqua Town. Cleo’s stepped through that door to stand among lush, strong-scented plants more times than she’d care to admit. They’re… cordial. At least, Martyn doesn’t seem to hate her. She’s never hated him.

“Well, you’ve made me a rich man. I don’t spend a lick on material. It just comes to me.” He crushes blue petals with a squeeze of his hand. Cleo grips her bag in one hand, gazing back over the rims of her sunglasses. Martyn has stitch marks up and down his face. All over his hands. There’s one right across his forehead. He wears a neck brace now. Or if it’s not a brace, it’s some sort of bandage. All her own marks are zombie-themed tattoos. They fit her zombie aesthetic. The aesthetic came first. He smiles, painfully from behind the counter, and threads baby’s breadth in a bouquet as a filler flower. It’s coming back in style, he says, after a decade of it being overdone. Honestly, Cleo doesn’t get why he even tries selling the flowers; he should stick to dye. Everything is dying here. Except his energy, when he says, “What brought you in here, m’dude? Hot date tonight?”

There’s silk and chocolate in his voice. It catches her through the gut, like she tripped and speared herself on a stalagmite. Uh. Cleo lifts one finger to the window. “You took down your neopronouns sign. I just wanted to ask what’s up; if you’re okay.”

The sign was mangrove wood and cut in the shape of a peony. Martyn flicks his eyes to the place it used to hang, then goes back to work. “Aw, that… Well, flower pronouns aren’t super practical when I’m in the shop. I’m looking for others. Something more versatile. Nothing has that same rush, but I’m not giving up.”

That makes sense. Does that make sense? He doesn’t look at her. “You’re still wearing your wedding ring,” she says without thinking. Martyn stops. His eyes stay pinned on the nearest wilting rose.

“Yeah. Are you not cool with that?”

It’s not a challenge, but she knows he’d shove back if she pushed. It’s easier, running fingers through her hair. “Honestly, it’s fine. Mine’s still on the bathroom counter. I see it every day. Sometimes I still wear it. Mostly when I’m out with Scott or Cub.”

After a moment’s hesitation, Martyn nods. His hands move again, fluffing the tiny flowers from below. “People talk.”

“They do.”

He clears his throat in his fist. Cleo moves away, examining the fridges in the back so he can cough up petals without an ex hovering around him. His coughs are thick and damp. He stands and leaves the room.

Martyn’s work often took him away from Hermit Hills. He and his best friend ran a summer camp called Dogwarts out in the flats, in that little piece of rumpled land that sat too near the desert for the local farmers to take an interest. She met Martyn because of that camp, actually, when they were 24 and 25 and he reached out with a little Hey, I love your work and we’re mutual friends with Scott and Pearl email to ask if she’d do a presentation on insects and other forest wildlife for the kids. He said his usual presenter was out tagging eagles that week, and honestly… Where do you even go from that? He and Ren offered good money, too. She could probably type up her research remotely for a few days. A few weeks. Even if she didn’t make as much progress as she’d like, the network opportunity might be worth its weight in diamond blocks.

“You should,” Scott encouraged when she called him up to check if this Martyn guy really was his friend. “Pearl and I are counselors. We can all hang out together! And you can tell the kids about that time you bottle-fed the bear cubs.”

… Yeah, all right. She worked more often with bats, but talking about the bear cubs always turns eyes her way. Wildlife rehabilitation isn’t really a standalone career, and that’s a good thing to prepare kids for at an animal-lovers camp. She could still smell the baby formula blended with blueberries, the cubs with creamy droplets smeared across their muzzles and cheeks.

She took the offer. Three weeks later, there she was… Camp Dogwarts and its insects, poison ivy, and whatever else lay waiting for her. Cleo basked a few last seconds in the bliss of the air conditioning, then switched off the car and stepped into summer sun. Martyn and Ren both shook her hand, beaming. He/him or flower/rose. He/they/it or neopronouns that fit a canine theme. They said it back to back, fluidly and effortless.

Cleo paused. Then, “She/her professionally. I’ve… considered experimenting, but my social life’s been tied to work for so long, I don’t know where to start.” With Scott, obviously, but pronouns sounded like such a big commitment. Ren clasped their hands; if they’d had a tail, it would have wagged. And he probably would have loved that.

“Oh, dude! We have so much to talk about! Can I call you ‘dude?’”

“Sure. That’s fine.”

Martyn gave the tour while Ren and the counselors kept an eye on the kids. The hilltop pergola made a perfect lookout point. Martyn shielded his eyes, then pointed across the field to a second hilltop building in the distance. “Bean Hill. Rrrrright over there, that’s the edge of camp.”

His eyes? Flower’s eyes? She understood the pronouns in theory, though trying to wrap her mind around them left her suddenly aware of everything she didn’t know. She felt like she’d been stripped, her clothes dunked in the lake. “Cozy place,” she replied. “You and Ren built all this?”

“Yes, ma’am! Placed every block with our own four hands.” And they talked about that, soaking in the sunlight, until Cleo asked the itchy question that wouldn’t leave her thoughts alone.

“Real quick… You don’t have to get into it, but how did you find neopronouns that were right for you? Or… how did you decide to take that leap? I imagine people talk. Ask a lot of questions. So, you must be pretty committed to them if you share them openly.”

Martyn gazed out across the hill, sighing through his(?) nose. “I use them at camp. Not so much at home. I don’t dare discuss it with my parents.” Then, leaning rose’s shoulder (was that right?) on the pergola support, flower said, “You know that discourse that goes around every once in awhile about gift giving being a ‘selfish’ love language? Or have you ever heard someone talk about how they’d never be able to stand dating someone who sort of expected gifts throughout the year?”

“Yeah?”

“It’s like that. I’ve always thought gift giving wasn’t so much about what was given as it was about the thought that you exist in someone’s mind even when you’re not there in front of them. Like, they care enough about you, they wanted you to know they saw something and thought of you. When someone puts the thought into my pronouns… it means they thought about me. And the world is better.” Flower bent down and pulled a dandelion from the grass. “Ren says it would probably be called it/its more often if it really did have a werewolf form, and sometimes that feels good and sometimes it’s lonely. I dunno… Everyone’s just out here getting by, I guess. It’s worth having something to smile about every day. Neopronoun use is like that for me. Free smiles in the tip jar.”

“I’m not sure tips are free.”
