My little Killer 💍

[oraeliaa]

Working on something FUN

Also, something that’s making me feral - I’m working on this alongside the always incredible @arbutus-blossoms ✨

[ellorypurebloodculture]

hi ellory!! i have a question and a tt— q: if a House were to have no Heirs, would it be able to acknowledge the child of one of its members and a Muggle? would that even be possible or something that is done? and for the tt: “petals pressed between pages (cradled secretly in library shelves)”

Hi Lady!

No, it wouldn't. The child would be a potential New Blood and couldn't lay claim to the magical house.

Oh, I love that.

Pandora Malfoy/Lily Evans.

It begins with reaching for the same Arithmancy tome in the Hogwarts library and ends with Lady Pandora Malfoy placing a woven crown of arbutus blossoms on Miss Lily Evans's head.

Favorite Reylo or Gingerrose fics/fanarts?

Sending you much love this Star Wars Day! 🥰

Sending you much love too! ❤️

My favourite Reylo fics are all by @affidecrystal who writes under CoraRiley on ao3, and I love @arbutus-blossoms and @afterblossom’s Reylo and Gingerrose fanart. I don’t really read Gingerrose fanfiction, but I love fanfiction that has both Reylo and Gingerrose in it ☺️

What are your favourite Reylo and Gingerrose fanworks?

bouquet and sweets!!

bouquet — what’s their favourite flower and why? Theseus' favourite flower is the rockrose! they grew abundantly in troezen, his childhood home, and so he has fond memories of picking them to make laurels with. His second favourite are the blossoms of the strawberry tree, Arbutus unedo. His mother was particularly fond of the fruit they produced, and one such tree grew right outside her bedroom window. he's also a fan of mulberries. Asterius' favourite flowers are poppies and dandelion blossoms. Poppies are an important flower that were cultivated in Crete for religious reasons, and one of Asterius' earliest memories is one of mother braiding a number of them into his hair, back when she was allowed into his room. Dandelions, on the other hand, are one of the first flowers Theseus introduced to him upon bringing him to Elysium. They reminded Asterius of Theseus' blonde hair... Asterius also likes how they taste, and tends to eat them raw. sweets — what’s their favourite valentines-esque food? (think anything you’d get in that seasonal aisle at the grocery store!) Hmm.... I think they both have a sweet tooth (though if you said that to either of them they'd deny it). I think Asterius prefers a more floral taste, it's easy to imagine him going to town on a box of chocolate covered strawberries (I like them too). Theseus on the other hand would buy the most expensive thing he could find... I could see him liking something like gourmet chocolate covered orange slices (I've never had 'em, but it's easy to picture Theseus liking foods and sweets that may be considered exotic to me!)

Lincoln

John Gould Fletcher

1886 – 1950                                        I

Like a gaunt, scraggly pine Which lifts its head above the mournful sandhills; And patiently, through dull years of bitter silence, Untended and uncared for, starts to grow.

Ungainly, labouring, huge, The wind of the north has twisted and gnarled its branches; Yet in the heat of midsummer days, when thunderclouds ring the horizon, A nation of men shall rest beneath its shade.

And it shall protect them all, Hold everyone safe there, watching aloof in silence; Until at last one mad stray bolt from the zenith Shall strike it in an instant down to earth.

                                            II

There was a darkness in this man; an immense and hollow darkness, Of which we may not speak, nor share with him, nor enter; A darkness through which strong roots stretched downwards into the earth Towards old things:

Towards the herdman-kings who walked the earth and spoke with God, Towards the wanderers who sought for they knew not what, and found their goal at last; Towards the men who waited, only waited patiently when all seemed lost, Many bitter winters of defeat;

Down to the granite of patience These roots swept, knotted fibrous roots, prying, piercing, seeking, And drew from the living rock and the living waters about it The red sap to carry upwards to the sun.

Not proud, but humble, Only to serve and pass on, to endure to the end through service; For the ax is laid at the roots of the trees, and all that bring not forth good fruit Shall be cut down on the day to come and cast into the fire.                                            III

There is a silence abroad in the land to-day, And in the hearts of men, a deep and anxious silence; And, because we are still at last, those bronze lips slowly open, Those hollow and weary eyes take on a gleam of light.

Slowly a patient, firm-syllabled voice cuts through the endless silence Like labouring oxen that drag a plow through the chaos of rude clay-fields: “I went forward as the light goes forward in early spring, But there were also many things which I left behind.

“Tombs that were quiet; One, of a mother, whose brief light went out in the darkness, One, of a loved one, the snow on whose grave is long falling, One, only of a child, but it was mine.

“Have you forgot your graves? Go, question them in anguish, Listen long to their unstirred lips. From your hostages to silence, Learn there is no life without death, no dawn without sun-setting, No victory but to him who has given all.”

                                           IV

The clamour of cannon dies down, the furnace-mouth of the battle is silent. The midwinter sun dips and descends, the earth takes on afresh its bright colours. But he whom we mocked and obeyed not, he whom we scorned and mistrusted, He has descended, like a god, to his rest.

Over the uproar of cities, Over the million intricate threads of life wavering and crossing, In the midst of problems we know not, tangling, perplexing, ensnaring, Rises one white tomb alone.

Beam over it, stars, Wrap it round, stripes—stripes red for the pain that he bore for you— Enfold it forever, O flag, rent, soiled, but repaired through your anguish; Long as you keep him there safe, the nations shall bow to your law.

Strew over him flowers: Blue forget-me-nots from the north, and the bright pink arbutus From the east, and from the west rich orange blossom, And from the heart of the land take the passion-flower;

Rayed, violet, dim, With the nails that pierced, the cross that he bore and the circlet, And beside it there lay also one lonely snow-white magnolia, Bitter for remembrance of the healing which has passed.

The fragrances of May are on the air, Our shy New England air, yet interblent With breath of rosy orchards and with rare Arbutus scent, Sweet as the Orient.

The songs of May are on the dulcet air, Blithe carols, trills, melodious mating calls. These hidden brooks have tunes as debonair As waterfalls That silver Alpine walls.

Life, pulsing, poignant life is in the air. The winter-wasted heart, that dared blaspheme By weary apathy and bleak despair The Joy Supreme Re-blossoms into dream.

May by Katharine Lee Bates

It's springtime in Metro Vancouver when thickets of selfie sticks and tourists sprout beneath canopies of the region's famous cherry blossoms; Sussex Avenue in Burnaby, east of Vancouver, a group of five fashionably dressed women set up an iPhone on a tripod under the blooms.

One accessorizes with a green scarf, then pauses to give instructions to her friends, adjusting their angles just so; for the perfect shot. They're too busy to talk as they strike a series of poses, hands on hips.

Such scenes are familiar to Linda Poole, founder and creative director of the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival, which runs from April 1 to 23 and recalls the sight of tourists getting out of a tour bus at Queen Elizabeth Park, one of Vancouver's most popular locations for blossom viewing.

"And they are dancing under the blossoms, singing, modelling and posing. It's cute. I see that all the time," said Poole; Cherry blossoms have become a domestic and international tourist draw, with Chinese tour companies offering flower viewing packages for thousands of dollars, competing with more traditional locations such as Tokyo and Kyoto in Japan.

Edward Xie, manager of Richmond, B.C., travel agency First Express Travel, said his company advertises Vancouver flower viewing in international markets said guides pick up travellers from China and the U.S. at the airport and drive them around the city's best cherry blossom locations.

An eight-day, seven-night trip from China to Vancouver and Victoria promoted by First Express is dubbed the "two cities flower viewing" tour and costs 33,603 yuan, or $6,580, into a colourful world to enjoy flowers, watch whales and roam freely outdoors. Experience the romance brought by pink cherry blossoms and feel the vibe of April on Canada's West Coast," reads the advertisement.

Vancouver's blossoms have become renowned in East Asia, where the city's trees are through the Kitsilano neighbourhood in Mandarin. Like the English-language tours, it's fully booked that in the 1930s, the mayors of the Japanese cities of Yokohama and Kobe gave 500 cherry trees to the Vancouver Park Board to honour Japanese Canadians who served in the First World War.

Charlene Liu, president and CEO of Panasia Holidays, a Calgary-based tourism company, said cherry blossom viewing is among Chinese-speaking domestic tourists, many of them from Edmonton and Calgary, like a perfect combination to gaze upon the cherry blossoms while exploring the local culinary scene since Vancouver is also famous for food," said Liu in an interview conducted in Mandarin.

Cities like Kyoto and Washington, D.C., might have said many blossom tourists to Vancouver also have family in the city photos under the cherry trees is a universal thing loves it," said Xie.

It's not just tourists drawn to the blossoms that drift like pink snow when caught by a breeze resident Emmanuel S.T. Yu, enjoying a stroll under Burnaby's cherry blossoms with his wife Connie, said the flowers reminded him it was "a blessing" to live in B.C.

"It's my family's annual tradition to walk around to see the cherry blossom trees doing this for 11 years straight. We never get tired of it," said Yu in Mandarin flowers always easily cheer us up, reminding us how lucky we are to live here."

Jordan Liu, B.C.-based director of the tour guide training program with the Canadian Inbound Tourism Association of Asia Pacific, said there were more than 2,700 cherry blossom locations across Metro Vancouver has some favourites — Graveley Street on Vancouver's Eastside, West 22nd Avenue in Arbutus Ridge, Nelson Street in the downtown core, Yukon Street and outside Vancouver City Hall.

On West 22nd Avenue, Sophie Chan said she travelled on multiple buses to get to the neighbourhood from her home in Surrey. The slight rise and fall of the street make it possible to see a corridor of blooming trees stretching into the distance, a favourite location on Instagram said the secret to a good cherry blossom photo is patience — you need to wait for the right moment, with the right light, and the right wind to bring the petals fluttering down.

Retired mechanical engineer Kenneth Kwan, 84, was standing outside his home on Sussex Avenue in Burnaby, wearing a straw hat as he greeted people taking photos of the blossoms said the flowers made him feel alive after an illness confined him to hospital for more than six weeks last year.

"My friends from San Francisco will soon come to Vancouver to visit me. I will show them around the city, including the cherry blossoms in my neighbourhood," said Kwan laughter is the best."

We have Douglas Fir and also Arbutus Menziesii (aka Madrone). Arbutus grow all the way from BC down to Mexico, but only ever within about 1.5 km of the ocean. They're the coolest creatures, the bark peels off in layers and gets lighter the further in you go, so you can see dark-brown-almost-black through rusty orange and even yellow-green one tree. They have leaves that shed year-round but mostly in spring, so they're evergreen but don't look it. They have pale green blossoms in spring and bright red berries in the summer that the birds go mad for, and they're twisty and tough and just so unique. I love them.

Dear friends,

If you weren’t able to attend our romance panel at Star Wars Celebration Chicago, you can listen to the audio and watch our slides here! In the now infamous "shipping panel" at Celebration we talked about Star Wars romances and the tradition of shipping in geek culture, as well as our experiences in the Reylo fandom. 

Super thanks to @Wtforceshow for recording our audio!

One of the best things about the Reylo fandom is how generous everyone is in  sharing their knowledge and their amazing talent. We were so proud to feature fanworks from the amazing Reylo community during our presentation. Many thanks to @kylorenvevo, @arbutus-blossoms, @ksart-things and @clairen45 for letting us feature their work! 

Stay tuned for our Podcast Stage live episode coming soon!
