I've been slowly working on not being so bad about killing plants so I'm gonna talk about them a little I think
This guy has been with us since before we moved and has survived having a few leaves I guess just. Eaten ????? Now it resides on the mantle with some others so my shit beasts do not get to it. I'm sorry!!!
These two I thought were toast but they've both bounced back thankfully. The one on the right kept getting knocked around because it gets hella windy and at one point all it's leaves had dropped.... But it looks like it's about to flower again š„¹
This dude came back from the dead it was just a bare stick when we moved and over the winter it just. Came back! And seems to be doing great. It's a satsuma but idk if it will fruit?? It certainly has not yet but I think this might be the oldest surviving plant I have rn
I'm not sure what's up with you but I hope you are ok
The one on the left has been alive for a few months. The one on the right pretty new and was chewed on within 5 minutes of me putting it down but thankfully I got to it quickly enough that it didn't get destroyed
This dinky lil Ikea cactus is...... Idk budding ???? What's up lil guy?
This guy is the newest addition and has not died yet which is a record for me regarding orchids. It's twisted a little weird but whatever I think it's pretty š
I've been sprouting beans in jars and I guess I have a mind to try to grow the full plants to see if I can just. Get more beans that way lol. Truly a bean farmer (maybe)
#talking to myself#historically i've been suuuuper bad with plants but I'm really proud that i havent killed these guys yet...#i want to get a few more here and there...#when i was little we used to have a little ficus which i believe is toxic to cats but i would like to find a similar small indoor safe tree#supposedly you can keep certain varieties of bamboo indoors which sounds fun

PYRRHIA
*Alt text available!
Roughly 1.5x the size of North America, Pyrrhia is the largest continent inhabited by dragons. Despite it's monumental size, very few areas on the map are considered un-owned territory, with even fewer areas being considered unexplored entirely.
Thanks to the continent's huge climate range, Pyrrhia has the most dragon tribe diversity of any landmass, hosting seven tribes in their entirety.
This includes: SkyWings, IceWings, SandWings, MudWings, RainWings, NightWings and SeaWings.
IceWing Territory
The Ice Kingdom, inhabited primarily by IceWings, is a large peninsula in the far north, also including a smaller cape just slightly south. It borders both the Sky Kingdom and the Kingdom of Sand.
While a large portion of IceWings live within the walls of the Ice Palace (an extravagant city compared to most other palaces), the majority live in villages and towns along the Ice Kingdom's coast. This is ideal for most, since the primary food source of IceWings are fish & sea-faring birds and mammals. However, it's not uncommon to find an IceWing family or two living further inland, hunting elk and other land-dwelling prey.
While only a relatively small portion of IceWing territory remains snowy year-round, the entire territory all the way down to Where-No-Dragon-Goes-Hungry can be seen blanketed in ice and snow during the winter months.
SkyWing Territory
The Sky Kingdom is home to the SkyWings, and is the largest land-based dragon-claimed territory on the map, give or take. Their territory borders several other kingdoms, including the Kingdom of the Sea, Ice Kingdom, Mud Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Sand.
Being quite physically big and territorial compared to most other dragons, SkyWings demand much more space (and use of such space) than their neighbors, despite there being much fewer of them overall. By technicality, the Sky Kingdom encompasses the entire Pyrrhian mountain range; although the SkyWings living any farther south than the Diamond Spray Delta tend not to argue about where borders are drawn, so long as they get a good night's sleep.
SkyWings tend to live solitarily or in pairs/family units, with the exception of those living in the Sky Palace working for the current Queen. Due to this, there are very few dedicated SkyWing towns or villages, with most SkyWings opting instead to pick out an ideal cave in the mountains to call home. This is of course not absolute, and there are many SkyWings living in harmony in bordering towns and cities with other tribes, some being SkyWing dominant.
MudWing Territory
The Mud Kingdom is home to the MudWings; the tribe of the largest land-dwelling dragons in the world. Their kingdom borders the Sky Kingdom, the Kingdom of the Sea and the Rainforest Kingdom.
Despite their size, they actually don't hold the largest amount of territory. Being rather sedentary, they typically never need more than the average pond to themselves and their siblings.
MudWing territory consists of a variety of land types, with the standard swamps and marshes; but also including bamboo forests, floodplains, sparse rainforest and grasslands. This variety in biome gives them plenty of agricultural opportunity, making MudWings one of the largest exporters of both plant and animal produce.
Their rich land also provides an abundance of earthen materials that other tribes covet for their own uses in construction, pottery and other types of craftsmanship; including kaolinite and other clays, calcite, etc!
RainWing Territory
The Rainforest Kingdom is home to the RainWings, the tribe of the smallest and most numerous dragons on the continent. Their kingdom borders the Mud Kingdom and the Kingdom of the Sea.
RainWings live communally, and thus are not separated into several towns. Rather, all RainWings (for the most part) share a single village that extends quite far throughout the rainforest, held together by the Queen's Royal Pavilion (marked on the map as the RainWing Village).
Although, since the events of the NightWing exodus from the Volcano, there lies a single other village amongst the jungle. Some RainWings find it comfortable enough to live there with the NightWing refugees, but don't prefer it.
The rainforest is a dragon's ultimate destination for near any kind of exotic fruit, flower, or animal. While RainWings used to be the top exporter of their tropical produce, these days the MudWings have taken on the task of growing orchards and vineyards, while the RainWings keep to themselves.
SeaWing Territory
SeaWing territory, home to the SeaWings, is technically the largest dragon-claimed territory on earth; this is because the vast majority of their inhabited space is underwater, and thus there is very little competition for territory. The land they control however, is the smallest compared to any other tribe, consisting mostly of small islands and islets. Their territory borders the Rainforest Kingdom, Mud Kingdom and Sky Kingdom.
Despite being the largest kind of dragon on the planet, they are incredibly numerous due to the abundance of food and territory. SeaWings live communally, but are spread across several habitable zones, including the Deep Palace and Summer Palace (their primary homes), and various island caves, huts, deep sea trenches, and sea stacks.
They are also partially migratory, spending warmer springs and summers in the Summer Palace, and living deeper underwater through autumn and winter.
SandWing Territory
The Kingdom of Sand, controlled by the SandWings, is the third largest land-based dragon territory on the continent. Consisting of vast dunes and open savannas, this desert environment isn't suitable for most other tribes. Their kingdom borders the Sky Kingdom and the Ice Kingdom.
Despite their large quantity of land, SandWings are actually not very high in population; more than SkyWings or especially NightWings, but fewer than most. SandWings are largely nomadic, not living in one particular place for their whole lives; instead relying on sparse oases and rivers spread throughout the desert, and traveling around for food.
Some SandWings, particularly those seeking refuge and safety from war, may choose to spend most of their time in small cities like the Scorpion Den, or border towns like Possibility and Sanctuary. Even then, many prefer to stay on their feet and travel often, reserving their town homes for sleep, rough weather or retirement.
Similarly, many SandWings working for royalty may choose to live in the Stronghold.
NightWing Territory
NightWing territory, the smallest and most uninhabitable, is home to the declining population of NightWings. It does not directly border any other kingdoms, but does have an animus-conjured portal to the Rainforest Kingdom.
Despite all the odds, NightWings manage to survive here on the small (near completely ash-polluted) ponds dotting the island, and by using desalination devices to convert seawater into drinkable water.
The prey on their volcanic home is close to non-existent; consisting almost entirely of occasional seabirds, crabs, beached sea turtles, and fish caught far out at sea using nets; although as time goes on, fewer NightWings are in good enough health to carry fish-filled nets back home.
Their fortress is half-collapsed due to a volcanic eruption, and the air is so hot, heavy and sulphuric that one might find it almost impossible to breathe if you hadn't been born there. What a pity.
Version with ALL Points of Interest
Blank Version
*You may use the blank version of the map for personal things as long as credit to Thorne & I is given! Tag me if you do :D I'd love to see!
This has been in the works probably the longest of anything I've made in relation to my WoF headcanons. I swear I've redone this entire map 3 or 4 times. After a year and a half, hopefully this is the last!!
I hope y'all like it!!
Huge thanks to my friend Thorne for her contributions to the climate placing, I wouldn't have been able to make it look at ALL natural without her help.
If you have any questions or suggestions for edits/additions please let me know! My ask box is open too.

Flowers
Summary: what sort of flowers (or alternatives) they give you
Characters: Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Ace, Sabo, Law, Kid, Usopp, Robin, Nami
Genre: fluff
āāāĀ
Luffy: Not one to buy you flowers. Instead, he picks them. Sometimes theyāre weeds he thought looked pretty, other times, he presents you with a lush bundle of pink carnations you think he must have picked from a commercial flower field (this man has no concept of private property). Heās always very proud to present them because he worked hard to secure them; you'd better give him a kiss for his effort. Has, on occasion, accidentally brought you some that are poisonous. Also once brought you a bundle of radishes because he thought you would like the color.Ā Receiving flowers from Luffy can be a bit like receiving a lizard from your pet cat.
Zoro: He wonāt really think to buy you flowers until one day you mention that camellias are pretty. He takes that to mean you like camellias, specifically, and not that youād like to receive flowers in general, so he always buys you camellias, and you think itās so sweet that you never correct him. Heās not actually a proponent of apology flowers because he thinks a ābribeā cheapens it, but he will bring you flowers when he knows youāre having a hard day. He might also buy you a small bamboo plant that you two end up treating a bit like a pet, giving it a name and everything.Ā
Sanji: Classic red roses, at least a dozen at a time. Heāll buy you roses in shades of white and pink, as well as the occasional yellow, but a dozen red roses is his go to. He also makes very good use of the petals. Doesnāt need a special occasion to present you with a bouquet. In fact, he always makes sure you have fresh flowers on your nightstand. Additionally, heās learned to cook a few dishes with edible flowers in them for you, presenting you with all manner of chamomile, chive blossom, and pansy dishes.Ā
Usopp: Will buy you cheap supermarket flowers on his way to come visit you and will regale you with a long, fanciful tale of crossing oceans and deserts to secure them from the only spot in the world those particular flowers grow, a tale filled with sweet and funny anecdotes that makes you giggle as you trim the stems and place them in a vase of water. Heāll tell you that the flowers have special powers and properties, such as bringing you luck or living forever so long as you smile every day.Ā
Robin: Is an expert on hanakotoba, the language of flowers; she read a book on it once and thought it was so sweet and beautiful that she read it cover to cover several more times. She always buys you flowers with a specific meaning and then happily explains that meaning to you. Giving you flowers brightens her day as much as it brightens yours. White anemones (sincerity), daffodils (respect), and forget-me-nots (true love) are some of her favorites to give you.Ā
Nami: Not a traditional kind of girl. She wonāt hesitate to buy you roses if you like them, but she gravitates more toward violets, daisies, and the like, smaller flowers that speak to both of you. Sheās also a proponent of buying you a single flower that you can put in your hair, and she has bought you a selection of floral hair accessories so you always have flowers for your hair on hand; her favorite is the primrose crown she bought you.Ā
Ace: Heāll bring you bouquets with a lot of variety that the nice lady at the flower shop helped him put together. He usually builds these bouquets around sunflowers or orange lilies, and he gets very smug when his flowers brighten your day. Heāll also pick flowers for you, but heās very conscious to only pick the ones that are not weeds. If he finds a field of sunflowers, you will be getting as many as he can carry. Never, ever visits you empty-handed, always brings at least a bouquet of flowers with him.Ā Treats securing flowers for you like hunting for dinner and is always so proud of his bounty.
Law: Gravitates toward orchids, especially in darker shades of pink, purple, and blue; they feel a little moodier and less kitschy than the red roses Bepo tells him heās supposed to buy to woo you (side note: imagine Law getting relationship advice from Bepo). One night folded an origami flower for you, and you liked it so much that he spent the rest of the night folding an entire bouquet, though he pretends it only took him five minutes. He doesnāt actually give the origami bouquet to you so much as he just sets it on your nightstand one day and mutters something about how the flowers wonāt need water. He gets kind of annoyed if you make a big deal out of it.Ā
Sabo: Heās gone for very long periods of time, so when he returns, heāll bring you a bundle of peonies or calla lilies, but he also bought you a cherry blossom bonsai tree so you can have flowers even when heās away. The bonsai tree ends up becoming his baby, and when he is home, he spends quite a bit of time tending to it, to the point you get a little jealous. But it brings you lots of comfort when heās away, a symbol of your love thatās firmly rooted and eternal. Side note, he will most definitely use flowers to seduce you.Ā
Kid: If itās at the point where heās buying flowers, this man is so far beyond pride he wonāt flinch at purchasing a bundle of pink tulips, even if they clash with his outfit/aesthetic. He also presents you one night with a bouquet of metal flowers he made himself. He spent ages on it, but he really didnāt mean to. He intended to make one but got absorbed in his work and made an entire bundle of dainty little metal flowers. Heās oddly proud of himself for making something so delicate and would be crushed if you ever got rid of them.Ā
āāā
Hope you enjoyed it! If you want more, you can check out my masterlist here!

Minecraft 1.20 thoughts:
The highlight is, of course, the cherry blossom grove biome and cherry trees. The cherry wood just looks SO GOOD with everything. I've made so many builds incorporating it already and it's so easy to work into a color scheme. Cherry wood. Hhhhhnnnnghh. Such a delicious shade of pink. I want to eat it.
Also really excited about the bamboo wood set, it looks amazing and adds a lot of functionality to bamboo.
Feeling pretty positively about the armor trims, though I wish there were more where the decorative material was more dominant in the color scheme.
Trail ruins and archaeology: Mixed feelings. I think archaeology is a fun mechanic, I like exploring the trail ruins, but they really, really turn inventory management into an absolute nightmare.
There are many different varieties of pottery sherds, I think at least 20. Sherds of different types do not stack. There are 4 armor trims that can be dropped by suspicious gravel in trail ruins. Trims of different types do not stack. The trail ruin structures themselves include many different varieties of terracotta and glazed terracotta, (at least 6 different colors of each) andāyou guessed it!āeach type stacks separately.
Additionally, suspicious gravel in trail ruins may drop any of several colors of candle (I have found red, purple, green, brown, and blue candles) and any of several colors of glass pane. The process of digging the ruin out will fill your inventory with at least 6 stacks of gravel as well as a lot of dirt, coarse dirt, cobblestone, and flint.
To top it all off, unless you want to enchant your brush with Unbreaking, you will need to carry multiple brushes because the brush breaks before the ruin is fully cleared.
Even with multiple shulker boxes clearing a ruin fully in one trip is impossible. What were the devs even thinking??? Are we expected to throw away the candles and other "junk" drops and ignore the glazed terracotta, mud bricks, and other tedious-to-obtain blocks in the structure itself?
This update shares with 1.19 the bizarre attribute of the devs supposedly being very focused on the player experience, while seemingly not noticing key parts of the player experience. The new mechanics and features in both have some incredibly fun and engaging elements to them but also some glaring problems.
I'm pretty much just indifferent to the clay pots? They would be more fun if they incorporated some basic colored patterns and/or actually could be used for something.
Changes to sign editing, and hanging signs are both fantastic.
The "Netherite Upgrade" is shit and I'm not sorry to say it.
Like...netherite is already so incredibly tedious and difficult to obtain that it's almost not worth bothering with. 4 ancient debris is needed to craft a single netherite ingot. You need 16 ancient debris to upgrade a full diamond armor set to netherite, and 8 more if you want to upgrade a sword and one pickaxe. If you don't have Mending on all of them, basically go fuck yourself, because from that point you will need multiple netherite ingots to repair a piece of equipment in the same way you would need multiple diamonds to repair diamond equipment. All of this for a set of equipment that will be fucking gone if you die and can't recover it.
And yet the devs have decided to??? fucking...add a generic, painfully uncharismatic new item to provide another barrier to obtaining netherite gear? because it's too easy or something???
I haven't broken into the other new additions very much, but I will try to obtain a sniffer egg soon...

Oh my god, another one! They just keep coming!
At this point, though, the more the merrier! And this one looks like a jolly little fellow!
Oh, is that for me? How kind of you, little guy! Though I'm not hungry now.
Looks like the others are pretty hungry, though!
What a cute little picnic! I think I'm gonna like this new little creature...!
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Welcome to Rain Wool: Downpour! For the first entry in the series, I've got none other than the one, the only, the chonker of all time, the Gourmand!
Let me tell you, at first I wasn't sure how well this would turn out. Not only did I struggle to find an adequate soft orange-yellow color, but I thought it would be a bit hard to figure out the exact volumes and degree of Gourmand's chubbiness. I usually use a mix of in-game art, sprites, and certain fanart for reference, but even so it can be a little hard to translate them into a 3D form, especially with someone like Gourmand. But nonetheless, I'm really happy with how this guy turned out, and it seems to grow cuter every time I look at it!
For these characters, I also wanted to try something new. Some recent asks have really helped me realize that I honestly prefer making needle-felted figures as unique toys of sorts rather than traditional look-don't-touch art pieces, so I'll be designing the figures around that purpose.
And as such, to really act on that idea and further bring these slugcats to life, I thought I'd try making a few tiny props for them!
I've got a bunch of more game-accurate spears made from bamboo skewers, and for Gourmand in particular I needle-felted some simple food items! I would've done more variety, but alas I haven't the right wool colors yet to make other foods.
Regardless, I hope you enjoy this little guy as much as I do, and continue to stick around as the rest of the Downpour cast takes up woolen form!

omg i love your lookism content āāæā can i have a scenario with Gun Park, like him & us enjoy quality time together on a day off during the storm in Seoul? thank you in advance ā”
Itās a stormy afternoon in Seoul, with rain pouring down against the windows. Inside Gunās apartment, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, a cozy refuge from the gray, wet world outside.
The kitchen is brightly lit, filled with the fresh ingredients laid out on the counter: vibrant slices of fish, crisp vegetables, seasoned rice, and nori sheetsāall ready for your lunch.
Today, Gun has decided to teach you how to make sushi, blending his Japanese heritage with your Korean roots.
Gun stands beside you, his sleeves rolled up and his demeanor as calm and stoic as ever.
His serious exterior rarely cracks, but his actions have an understated warmth as he carefully arranges everything. āWeāre making sushi today,ā he announces, his tone steady and authoritative, as always.
āSushi?ā you ask, a playful smile spreading across your face. āYou mean kimbap, right?ā
Gunās eyes meet yours, his gaze steady and patient. āNo,ā he corrects gently, his tone serious yet instructional.
āKimbap and sushi may look similar, but theyāre different. Kimbap uses cooked ingredients and is seasoned with sesame oil, while sushi uses raw fish and is seasoned with vinegar. Itās all about the balance and the subtlety of flavors.ā
You nod, absorbing his explanation. āGot it. Sushi, not kimbap.ā
āGood,ā he replies, the faintest hint of a smile touching his lips. āLetās get started.ā
The lesson begins with preparing the sushi rice. Gunās hands move with practiced precision, gently mixing the rice with seasoned vinegar.
You watch closely, captivated by his skill. āThe rice is the foundation,ā he explains in his usual serious tone. āIt has to be just right. Not too sticky, not too dry.ā He offers you a taste on his finger, and you lean in to sample it, savoring the tangy flavor.
āPerfect,ā you declare, your eyes lighting up. He nods slightly, a glimmer of satisfaction in his expression.
Next, Gun shows you how to slice the fish. His movements are exact, each cut clean and precise.
He guides your hands on the knife, his touch firm and steady. āEven slices,ā he says, his voice a low, steady guide. āYou need consistency.ā
You mimic his technique, concentrating on each slice. āEven slices,ā you repeat, focused on getting it right.
āGood,ā he murmurs, watching you closely. āYouāre doing well.ā
With the ingredients ready, itās time to assemble the sushi rolls. Gun places a nori sheet on the bamboo mat and spreads the rice evenly. āNow, choose your fillings,ā he instructs.Ā
You pick out a variety of colorful vegetables and fresh fish, laying them on the rice. Gun demonstrates how to roll the sushi, his hands moving with the same precise grace. āItās all about balance,ā he says. āToo tight and it bursts. Too loose and it falls apart.ā
You attempt your first roll, carefully following his example. Itās not perfect, but it holds together. āNot bad,ā Gun comments, his voice devoid of the typical praise but with a subtle note of approval that you recognize.
As he decides to roll the rest, you canāt resist stealing kisses from him. He remains unbothered, his focus unwavering, but each time you kiss his cheek or the corner of his mouth, thereās a slight softening around his eyes. āYouāre distracting me,ā he says quietly, though thereās no real reproach in his voice.
āGood,ā you reply with a smile, feeling a rush of affection for him. Despite his stoic facade and limited words, you know he enjoys these moments.
After what feels like both a long time and no time at all, you both sit down to enjoy your sushi. The rain outside has softened to a gentle drizzle, and the city lights shimmer through the wet glass.
You take a bite of your creation, savoring the blend of flavors. āThis is amazing,ā you say, your voice filled with genuine delight.
Gun watches you, his gaze steady and calm. āYou did well,ā he replies simply, his approval a quiet but powerful affirmation.
āThanks to you,ā you respond, your gratitude evident. You reach across the table, your hand finding his. He doesnāt pull away, his grip firm and reassuring.
As the meal ends, you linger at the table, the cozy atmosphere wrapping around you both. Gun stands and moves to your side, his presence a solid comfort.
He leans down, brushing a soft, fleeting kiss against your forehead. āYou should make them by yourself next time,ā he murmurs, his voice low and close to your ear.
You look up at him, your heart swelling with affection. āThanks, Gun,ā you say softly, your eyes meeting his. āBut youāre way better at this than I am.ā
He cups your cheek with his hand, his touch surprisingly gentle. āIt tastes better when you make it,ā he says simply, his gaze holding yours with a quiet intensity.
His words, delivered in his usual matter-of-fact tone, make your heart flutter.
Feeling a surge of adoration, you rise on your toes and press a tender kiss to his lips. Gun remains still, but his eyes soften slightly. āMaybe next time, Iāll surprise you,ā you whisper against his lips, feeling his steady breath against your skin.
He nods slightly, a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth. āI look forward to it.āĀ

Chinese Ceremonial Papers
Many hundreds of varieties of prayer sheets used to be produced by specialist ma-chang printers all over China. Many of the limited range made today are the cheapest offset-litho jobs on the cheapest machine-made papers, but the designs still imitate the original woodblock prints.
Modern Taiwanese sheets of cash, made from recycled paper, sold very cheaply by weight in Taipei.
Mock money and other ceremonial papers for religious ceremonies will be gathered in "bowls" of crude papers, usually made of a mixture of rice-straw and bamboo fibers.
The simplest form of mock money is made traditionally with thin layers of tinfoil affixed to the center of a small piece of bamboo paper, although in contemporary production the cheapest grades of machine-made paper will be used instead, and in Taiwan and Malaysia metallic inks may be used instead of tinfoil.
Here's a piece of mock money in traditional colors with auspicious designs, and tinfoil brushed over with a dye from the pagoda tree to make it resemble gold.
Contemporary Taiwanese ceremonial paper.
Another variety of gold mock money, with inscriptions and symbols for good fortune building up the design, usually still quite well printed from woodblocks on fairly good quality paper, but sometimes now mass-produced by offset lithography.
Contemporary ceremonial paper printed letterpress on a stout machine-made paper in Hong Kong. The yellow coloring might have been brushed on by hand, but otherwise production of these attractive sheets has been mechanized completely.
At the Feast of Hungry Ghosts many large sheets of paper with pictures of all the clothes one's ancestor could need are burned. Although images of the paraphernalia of modern life like cell phones and computers might be printed on these papers, the clothing is always of traditional style.
Red paper envelopes with good luck symbols have been used for many years to enclose gifts of money made at New Year. They may be found wherever any ceremonial papers are sold; today usually with elaborate and eye-catching gold-stamping.

Just finished this today. Itās a foundation paper pieced pattern by Juliet van der Heijden found in her Animal Quilts book. I scaled the pattern up 188% and used a solid background fabric in combination with Australian Dreamtime prints. For the quilting I freehanded a variety of leaves, feathers and flowers working from the bottom up, then from the top down I worked on the bird to give it some feathering texture. The backing fabric is peppered cotton and the batting is 6mm bamboo. Iām very happy with the end result.

svsss 10th anniversary snippets ā [ 7/7 ] the new fan @ ao3 | bingqiu | disciple years inspired by this adorable art by @hootyhoowoo āØ
It starts with a walk through the town market at the foot of the Cang Qiong Mountain. Shen Qingqiu took several of his disciples on a low-level mission to teach them how to not cause more harm than good when saving a village from a havoc-wreaking beast. Itās easy to fight with reckless abandon; itās much harder to keep the local peopleās property safe while subduing the danger.
Theyāve done well. As a reward, Shen Qingqiu has bought them each a tanghulu on their way back. With how their eyes shine, nobody would ever be able to tell they are young men and women but rather believe them to be little ducklings!
The ducklings have just tripped towards the mountain, chattering around the sticky treats, but Shen Qingqiu himself has stayed behind. A nearby stall has caught his eye.
āAh, the Esteemed Master has an eye for exquisite goods!ā the vendor said in a greeting, spreading his arms over his wares. āOnly the highest quality here! Is this Master looking for a jade pendant to gift to his beloved? Or maybe a hair ornament to add to the guan heās wearing?ā
Before Shen Qingqiu can get a word in, the man looks to the side, where a lone duckling shyly steps closer.
āShizunā¦ā
The vendor smiles. āOr maybe a sword tassel for the Young Master?ā
Shen Qingqiu sighs and shakes his head. āThis one is simply looking.ā Then, when the vendor lets him be for the moment, he glances at his disciple. āWhat is Binghe doing, not getting back with the others?ā
Luo Binghe, whoās holding the tanghulu stick with both hands as if itās a priceless offering rather than a common candy, pinks a little. In embarrassment, surely.
āThis one was worried somebody would bother Shizun and wanted to be there to help, just in case.ā
Aiya, what a sweet sheep!
āThis Master doesnāt need protection,ā he says gently, ābut if Binghe is already here, he should stay close so nobody bothers him instead.ā
āYes, Shizun!ā
Shen Qingqiu turns back to the stall and looks over the spread of the trinkets. On a closer inspection, the goods really do look quite well-crafted. His eyes are immediately drawn to the collection of hand fans. Thereās quite the variety: simple fans made entirely of carved wood, bamboo and paper ones with auspicious characters and romantic poems written in elegant calligraphy, ones with painted scenes of natureā¦
He glances at Luo Binghe when he shifts a little closer, his eyes also on the fans.
āDoes Binghe like any of them?ā
Luo Binghe looks up at him, startled, then looks away just as fast. He points at the fan with two graceful cranes spreading their wings, ready to take flight, and mumbles:
āThis one looks the most up to Shizunās tastes.ā
What a filial disciple, thinking of his Master first!
Warmth expands in Shen Qingqiuās chest as he points at the fan. āIāll take this one,ā he tells the vendor. He glances sneakily at the flustered Binghe from the corner of his eye, then back at the stallās trinkets.
Surely, a little spoiling wonāt hurt? he thinks, nodding to himself. Itās just to curry favour.
āThis jade pendant, too, please.ā
The stall seller bows with a smile and wraps the two objects into separate parcels. āThis Esteemed Master has wonderful taste, wonderful taste, indeed!ā
Shen Qingqiu pays for the purchase, takes both parcels, and leaves for the entrance to the sect, Luo Binghe in tow, even if he keeps falling several steps behind from time to time.
Before they reach the bottom of the stairs, he stops and turns to the boy. He holds out the smaller parcel to him.
āAs Binghe so graciously helped this Master pick his new fan, this Master picked this trinket for him.ā
Binghe stares at the gift, then looks up, wide-eyed, and stares at him instead. The tanghulu is still held tightly in both his hands.
Heāsā¦ very quiet.
Shen Qingqiu can feel a drop of sweat form at his temple. Has he said something out of lineā¦? Cover up! Must cover up!
āItās for protection and good luck,ā he says in his best Immortal Teacher voice, ābut Binghe can just as well keep it and sell it later if he ever needsāā
āNo!ā Binghe cries, so suddenly that the mask of Shen Qingqiuās Shizun face falters for a split second. āThis Binghe will treasure it! A gift from Shizunā¦ This one will never take it off!ā
Can a chest burst from such overwhelming fondness?
Luo Binghe reaches both hands to accept the parcel with bright, bright eyes and coloured cheeks, and looks adorably distraught when he realises his hands are still too full to respectfully receive a gift.
Shen Qingqiu sighs a soft smile and unwraps the parcel. The pendant has come with a string long enough to make for a comfortable necklace.
āShizun will put it on Binghe for him.ā This way he can keep holding onto the tanghulu; a very pragmatic decision.
Luo Binghe stays very still when Shen Qingqiu carefully loops the new trinket around his neck, not a breath in or out. The string catches on the curly hair, so he gently pulls the strands away and pats them over.
There, that shouldnāt have tugged at all.
Binghe looks so moved, Shen Qingqiu canāt help himself and gives the top of his head one last headpat, before he turns towards the stairs up the mountain.
āLetās go home, now,ā he says. āEverybody must be waiting.ā
It takes a while before Binghe catches up to him this time.

Chinese musical instruments pt. 1
I was inspired by my research into the different types of Chinese opera, so I decided to write about the chinese musical instruments.
Usually, traditional chinese instruments are grouped into 8 categories, å
«é³ (bÄ yÄ«n):Ā metal, bamboo, wood, stone, silk, clay, gourd and skin so I'll try to group them accordingly.
Metal é (JÄ«n)
Bo é¹ (bĆ³) This is a percussion type of cymbal, with the size varying on the subtype. This instrument is also used in some chinese operas, which makes it all the more interesting to hear.
Bianzhong ē¼é (biÄnzhÅng) This is a set of bronze chime bells, arranged in a specific order with each bell having it's own two special pitches which are usually determined by the bell size. The structure is especially interesting, as all the bells are hung from a frame (typically wooden) from which they're played. Other countries also have similar instruments, such as Japan, Vietnam and Korea although their names vary and they may have their own specific features.
Luo é£ (luĆ³) Luo is actually a general name for a gong, which varies in size and pitch depending on its type. Depending on the size, luo can either be hung on a frame or if it's small enough it can be played in hand.
Yunluo äŗé£ (yĆŗnluĆ³) Like the luo, these are also gongs, named cloud gongs. There are 10 small gongs in a frame with the same size but different thickness so that each gongs pitch would vary. There is a more modern version, which has over 20 gongs and is much larger in size.
Suona å¢å (suĒnĆ ) The Suona is a double-reeded trumpet, with reed meaning a thin strip of material. As Suona is classified as a metal instrument, it's made from metal with the reed attached to it. It's actual origin is quite interesting, as some sources place the Suona all the way to the Jin dynasty (266-420), whereas some consider Suona's origin to be from outside of China.
Bamboo ē«¹ (ZhĆŗ)
Dizi ē¬å(dĆzi) The Dizi is a Chinese flute, which has quite a lot of varieties, such as ę¢ē¬ (BÄngdĆ). This flute is especially interesting as it's used in Chinese opera, Chinese folk music and also in Chinese orchestra. Depending on the region, different bamboo is used to create this instrument - Purple bamboo in the north and white in the southern regions, although other material can also be used, even jade.
Xiao ē®« (xiÄo) This is a vertical flute, orginating from the Qiang people in ancient China. The material is usually bamboo, with black and purple bamboo considered to be the best type. There are also quite a few variations, such as the åē®« (BÄixiÄo), ē“ē®« (QĆnxiÄo) and åē®« (NĆ”nxiÄo).
Paixiao ęē®« (pĆ”ixiÄo) The Paixiao is a type of a panflute, which has a noticeable difference from the western type, as the pipe holes are created via an angled cut or a notch.
Bili ēēÆ„ (bƬlƬ) / ē®” (guĒn) This is a double-reed pipe, which has a few names. Guan appears to be a general name for woodwind instruments, so if looking for this specific instrument, it should be searched using Bili. This instrument can be traced back to the Zhou dynasty, where it was used as a military instrument. Later it became a popular court and ritual instrument, but eventually lost it's court popularity. Instead, it's quite popular in folk music and in Peking Opera, especially for military scenes.
Xindi ę°ē¬ (xÄ«ndĆ) The Xindi is a more modern type of Dizi (the name literally means a new flute), which first appeared in the 20th century. The xindi differentiates itself from the original dizi by it's additional 5 holes, allowing for lower tones which makes it quite important for the Chinese orchestra.
Wood ęØ (MĆ¹)
Muyu ęØé±¼ (mĆ¹yĆŗ) This is a wooden fish-shaped woodblock which is hit to create a beat during rituals, most commonly during Buddhist ceremonies, Muyu's name literally means a wooden fish, as it's origin stories are associated with fish, with one story claiming that a fish helped a monk but in turn asked him for a favour, which the monk promised to do but forgot. The fish became angry and splashed him into the water. The monk survived, but his notes were all ruined, which is why he made a wooden statue of the fish and beat it.
Yu ę (yĒ) On the topic of animals, this is a tiger-shaped hollow box with toothed edges on its back. Why a tiger? It may be because the tiger had a powerful association with strength and power, although I have yet to find a source confirming my theory.
Zhu ę· (zhĆ¹) This is a wooden box that has an open middle, which is played by using a wooden stick to hit the inner bottom. This instrument is very rarely used nowadays, with the majority of Zhus being in museums and temples, but apparently they still remain in use in a few temples for ceremonies.
Paiban ęęæ (pÄibĒn) The Paiban is clapper made of wooden or bamboo flat pieces. When it's played together with a drum, this combination is called a Guban é¼ęæ (gĒbĒn), which is used quite often in various different music genres, such as Peking Opera, Yue Opera, Kunqu Opera and others.

If all Zong Zi or Rice Dumplings look the same to you, youāre not alone! Zong Zi (ē²½å) or Bak Chang are a variety of glutinous rice dumplings traditionally eaten by the Chinese during the Dragon Boat Festival (ē«Æåč). Here are six types of popular Zong Zi from various dialect and ethnic groups in Singapore.
youtube
Hokkien Rice Dumpling (ē¦å»ŗåøčē²½) - One of the most common Zong Zi that can be found in markets and stores, the Hokkien Zong Zi is wrapped in bamboo leaves is recognized by its dark appearance from soy sauce infused rice and distinct aroma from the five-spice seasoning. Usually made with pork belly, salted egg yolk, chestnuts and dried shrimps.
Cantonese Rice Dumpling (å¹æäøåøčē²½) - The ingredient that sets Cantonese Zong Zi apart is the filling of mung beans or green beans. One can also order a variation with a salted egg yolk. The glutinous rice is also seasoned with salt and garlic oil instead of soy sauce.
Nyonya Rice Dumpling (åØę¹ē²½) - The Nyonya Zong Zi is the most distinguishable rice dumpling for its bright blue tip that is typically made from the extract of the butterfly pea flower. It is also sweeter in taste and aroma because of its pandan leaf wrapper and candied winter melon.
Teochew Rice Dumpling (ę½®å·ē²½) - The savoury yet sweet taste of a Teochew Zong Zi comes from various ingredients such as red bean paste or lotus paste, fatty pork belly, earthy mushrooms and dried shrimp. Chestnuts are also added to the dumpling for texture.
Hainanese Rice Dumpling (ęµ·åčē²½) - The Hainanese Zong Ziās most distinctive trait lies in its portion. It is filled with generous chunks of pork belly, whole chestnuts, mushrooms, and seasonings of savoury additions like five-spice powder, dark soy sauce, and black pepper. It is also usually served with a dollop of palm sugar syrup, adding a nice balance of sweetness to its savoury and slightly spicy flavour.
Hakka Rice Dumpling (客家ē²½) - Steamed in bamboo leaves, the Hakka Zong Zi consists of preserved vegetable filling, juicy pork belly strips and savoury mushrooms. It is also sometimes filled with beans.

ćHistory about Chinese Traditional Headwear: Futouć
FutouĀ (simplified Chinese:Ā å¹å¤“;Ā traditional Chinese:Ā č„é /å¹é ; also pronounced and written asĀ putou), also known asĀ fuĀ (å¹) andĀ toujinĀ (é å·¾),[1]Ā was one of the most important forms ofĀ Chinese headwearĀ in ancientĀ ChinaĀ with a history of more than one thousand years.Ā TheĀ futouĀ first appeared inĀ Northern ZhouĀ under the reign ofĀ Emperor WuĀ where it became prevalent.Ā It was also commonly worn in theĀ TangĀ andĀ Song dynasties.āĀ TheĀ futouĀ was typically worn by government officials.TheĀ futouĀ was originally turban-like headwear which was tied at the back of its wearer's head, with the two corners going to opposite directions and acting as decorations.Ā From theĀ SuiĀ to theĀ Ming dynasties, theĀ futouĀ evolved and was developed based on theĀ fujin.TheĀ futouĀ eventually came to assume a variety of shapes and styles.The shape of theĀ futouĀ worn by the government officials in the Song and Ming dynasties, the latter known as theĀ wushamaoĀ (ēē“åø½), was based on theĀ futouĀ of the Tang dynasty.
TheĀ Chinese futouĀ was also introduced in both KoreaĀ Unified SillaĀ and continued to be worn by government officials until the late KoreaĀ Joseon:ā25āĀ TheĀ futouĀ with aĀ jinziĀ (lining) was also introduced back in theĀ SogdianĀ areas inĀ Central AsiaĀ spreading to the Western regions through theĀ Xinjiang region.Ā TheĀ futouĀ withĀ jinziĀ was also introduced inĀ JapanĀ during theĀ Japan Nara periodĀ throughĀ Prince ShÅtaku.
Sui, Tang dynasty, and Five dynasties and ten kingdoms period
Prior to theĀ Song dynasty, theĀ futouĀ was mostly made of black muslin.āĀ In the early Tang, theĀ futouĀ was aĀ sijiaoruanjinĀ (åč
³č»å·¾; 'Four-feet soft scarf'),where all four ribbons were allowed to hang down after being tied.Ā Later on, the early Tang dynasty minister,Ā Ma Zhou, was the first person to use a square kerchief in order to tie aĀ futouĀ and was also the person who added a lining to shape hisĀ futouĀ making it more beautiful.The lining which was added to the inside of theĀ futouĀ from the year 614 AD was calledĀ jinziĀ (å·¾å); theĀ jinziĀ was used to make theĀ futouĀ look more straight and beautiful in terms of appearance.Ā After being cut into the desired shape, theĀ jinziĀ was painted black with lacquer and would then be covered by theĀ futou.Ā TheĀ jinziĀ was made with soft and lightĀ tung woodĀ and with other materials such as bamboo strips, timbo,Ā miscanthus, silk, and leather.Ā It was also possible to line theĀ futouĀ with a mount-shaped item made out ofĀ paulowniaĀ (Chinese:Ā ę”ęØäøŗå ;Ā pinyin:Ā TĆ³ngmĆ¹ wĆ©i guÄn;Ā lit.Ā 'paulownia crown') in the front.Ā The step-by-step process to wear theĀ futouĀ withĀ jinziĀ was to tie the hair up in a topknot, followed by covering the topknot with theĀ jinziĀ as hard lining, then wrapping the head and theĀ jinziĀ with a black, square-shaped piece of cloth, and finally tying the cloth in the desired style.Ā TheĀ futouĀ withĀ jinziĀ then became the standard form ofĀ futouĀ in the early Tang dynasty.Ā A form ofĀ futouĀ withĀ jinziĀ was a kerchief with two corners attached with two ribbons in opposite directions of each other; the ribbons would then be tied at the back of the wearer's head, allowing the two back ribbons to hang down freely as a form of decoration.With time, theĀ futouĀ withĀ jinziĀ was further developed, and a ribbon was attached to each corner of the turban to make it more decorative; two ribbons were tied on the top of the head while the back ribbons were tied and were allowed to hang down freely.Ā TheĀ futouĀ withĀ jinziĀ could also have all four ribbons tied at the back of the head and allowed to hang down freely.Ā TheĀ yingwangboyangĀ (Chinese:Ā č±ēčø£ę ·), aĀ futouĀ with a big and forward topĀ jinzi, was created byĀ Emperor ZhongzongĀ and became prevalent during his reign when he awarded this type ofĀ futouĀ to his officials.Ā During the reign ofĀ Emperor Xuanzong, theĀ neiyangĀ (Chinese:Ā å
ę ·), aĀ futouĀ with a small and round top jinzi became popular around the year 726 AD.Ā Moreover, by adding wire or silk strings inside the added ribbons, theĀ futouĀ could take different shapes and styles depending on its wearer's liking.Ā However, in the Tang dynasty, only the Emperors could use these hard ribbons; these hard ribbons would be bent upward.The Tang dynasties emperor wore aĀ futouĀ with two upturned tails until theĀ Five dynasties period.The Tang dynasty emperors also wore theĀ zhijiaofutouĀ (Chinese:Ā ē“č
³å¹å¤“;Ā pinyin:Ā zhĆjiĒofĆŗtĆ³u;Ā lit.Ā 'straight-feet futou').
