Pink flower what is your favorite flower

Ooh. Lily and amaryllis come to mind. I’ve tried many a time to grow lilies. They died. The ones that come back every year without anyone planting them are nice though!!

Peonies too! (One day I’ll be able to draw them in the illustrative style I want to!!)

I’m sure there are others that I just straight up can’t think of AND do not know the names of. I just point when I see them and go FLOWER 😍💖 (I’ve included a few I like that I’ve taken at the bottom 😘)

But also: favourite to do on cakes: has to be the classic rose (also the easiest at this point bc of how many I’ve done. Love rose nails that allow us to do roses. Hate washing them (it’s. Not that bad).)

Bee describe my aesthetic in emojis

But that was me going through all of them. If I summarize:

Honey describe my favourite smell

Thinks. There are quite a few smells I enjoy now. But. Spiced apple and spiced apple cider/juice. I think that may be my favourite 💖🥰. For sure 💖 (one of the candles I can’t bear to burn that I just leave open for the scent is mulled cider and cinnamon!)

Honourable mentions to lemon, soup, libraries/old bookshops, forests, especially after rain, the ocean, seaweed, most of the time- fish, cats, clean dogs, and fresh sheets (that being said I’m also very scent sensitive too so it’s a balance. Sometimes I gag at the best. Sometimes I really love my favourite scents. Who knows!)

Rain clouds favorite thing to do on a rainy day

If I’m in the city with a Classical Chinese garden, one of my favourite things to do is sit there in a covered area of the garden and ideally draw and listen to the rain and watch it run down the roof tiles and watch it make ripples on the pond and observe the beauty of it all 🥰 (I swear I used to have some photos from the rain on my old phone probably but alas I can’t find them)

If I’m at home, staying all bundled in blankets in bed with the window open 💖

If I’m out and doing things it *has to be* MY CHOICE or I don’t like getting wet if I didn’t choose to. :(

If it was my choice though I like to go to the beach if I have some time :) (only applicable if I drove there or walked a short distance from a set bus stop but only a preferred one I’m already familiar with.)

Music notes favourite song right now?

Well. Miss Darya @moonchild-in-blue has inspired Exploring Birdsong’s Turntail to probably be my current favourite!, 😁 (currently #5 despite listening to only it for. Several days straight now)

But also. Honourable mentions to my recent loops:

Bad Omens’ Dethrone and Kingdom of Cards (currently #1)

Sleep Token’s Shelter (#2) and Telomeres (15) and Blood Sport (7)

And the Aqua Regia Chunt Chunes remix (3) 😬✌️✨ …also Emily Hopkins’ Abelha of course 😌 (it’s #4 on repeat still!!)

Phool si khilke, paas aa dil ke

Door se milke chain na aaye

Aur kab tak mujhe tadpaayegi tu

Mere sapnon ki rani kab aayegi tu

Aayi rut mastaani kab aayegi tu

Beeti jaaye zindagaani kab aayegi tu

Chali aa, tu chali aa

a bit ago, my dear Sasha shared with me Plays John Cassavetes by Ekkehard Ehlers, a minimal and very pretty twenty-minute 12″ from 2001. I don’t listen to a lot of slower, quieter music – my first love in music was, of course, guitar-pop – but this really fits the more low-key and contemplative mood I find myself in today. I said, while we were listening, that it felt like it was moving, gently... it’s not still, just swaying, hovering, showing little signs of life.

the first side (A) is fuzzy, but not warm. not quite cold, either, just... in between. it feels transitory in a way that embraces that feeling. waiting without waiting for. I have been here before, I think, maybe...? (were you with me?)

the second side (B) that I’ve linked above is beautiful and – au contraire  – warm, with strings sliding back and forth with but-a-stutter as the loop snaps back to the beginning again. I feel like I’m being encircled by the melody, all tied up with knots in my heart-strings. it almost makes me want to cry... no, it makes me want to study it and learn the best way to cry to it. I don’t know. it’s good :)

the 2 tracks are compiled on 2002′s Plays. I want to hear more of it.

A funny detail of Teams 7 in the Classic is that people always forget that Sakura did praise Naruto from day 1, she just thought she shouldn't verbalize it because then she'll be perceived as a loser/dumb kid like him.

She did like the prank on Kakashi and she got excited when he attacked Kakashi with his clones. The appeal of her character is not that she didn't like Naruto before because he was different, it's that Sakura was too similar to Naruto and she repressed who she was in fear of getting isolated and bullied because she knew it'd happen.

It happened to her before.

Her parents probably pointed at Naruto and told her not to be like that.

Sakura is literally the version of Naruto that backed down and lowered her head so as not to be erased. That's what "inner" represents, the desire to not be socially punished, to be accepted and liked and regarded with praise, to be approved by others. It is also why Ino and Naruto bring out "inner" / the real Sakura the most. Ino is the one who's encourage her the most to be herself, she's that one friend who defended Sakura from her bullies and told her not to hide and be proud of herself and bloom. Their rivalry is founded on Sakura wanting to be Ino's equal and not just the kid she protects, she wants the envy of the girl she admires the most, like she wants the love of the boy she admires the most. Naruto is different because with him, Sakura learns to be bold. Whatever traits she hides, Naruto displays them like a weapon and it works! He forces people to look at him whenever they look away, he forces people to acknowledge his existence even if they want to ignore him.

Sakura is ruled by fear. She has everything to lose yet, unlike Sasuke or Naruto. She cannot afford to make the same mistakes, she can't give her all without thinking about how she can mess it up in a second. She hasn't really experience death or pain, the weight of her own ambitious weights her down, holds her back, paralyzes her.

She pretends she's wiser than the boys and loves to patronize them. She asks superior 'cause she is that insecure. She hides behind theoric knowledge and the safety of childish desires. And yet, she knows her limits: she tells Sasuke and Naruto they are only kids, she recognizes danger for what it is and she knows when something surpasses their own reach/skills.

So when Naruto jumps to action, when he acts freely and without fear, she admires him as much as she's jealous of it. That's what her little "he doesn't have parents, he knows no boundaries" speech means. She reflects her own self-doubt on him, talks him down to feel a bit more in control, but in the end, she knows it. She knows what she's doing wrong and she knows it's not fair and she knows that Naruto deserves better.

That's why, during the Chuning Exams, she screams at Sasuke that Naruto can be very flawed, but at least he's not a coward. He's her inspiration. She knows she's always at the back, getting saved, she's too emotional and scared to dive in the shinobi world and she's too naive. She spent years running from the consequence of her decisions, so when the time came she was weak, of no help. She could only bite her opponents to distract them from hurting her friends. Could only shakily hold a kunai against Gaara. Had to threat Sasuke with screaming because she wouldn't possibly stop him. Had to rely on Naruto to go bring him back. Doomed herself to the sidelines, played childish games, won childish prizes.

Her three big moments of the Classic explain it better: cuts her hair and promises that she will make up for the wasted time and the lost opportunities; fights Ino and shows that now she's a kunoichi, having found her courage to the point that the rest recognizes the change in her; and finally realizes she again put all the weight on Naruto and apologizes for it, promising that next time she'll go with him.

Sakura whole arc is about fear and shame and how she overcomes it, blooming into her real potential. She always found Naruto that amazing, she thought his pranks were funny and that he could be pretty smart and cool, but only in the end she found the bravery to openly show it.

It's like-- to accept Naruto, she had to accept the parts of herself that she didn't like that much. He inspired her to say "fuck what the others think of me, my friends need me".

Naruto Classic is so fucking good and critical and it never meant to hide how wrong was the system or how awful was Hiruzen's view of politics.

I've just reached the introductory speech Hiruzen gave before starting the preliminary fights for the third stage of the Chuning Exams. Hiruzen starts by clarifying the truth about the Chuning Exams: it's not about friendship or goodness of the heart, but rather “a war-in-miniature between all the allied shinobi lands”.

It flew over my head when I first read it as a child.

At the moment, after years of conflict fighting over land and resources, the nations who were geographically close to each other decided to make an alliance and create a stage where they could show off their strength and challenge the other villages, without so much death. Hiruzen calls their alliance “temporary” and said that the Chuning Exams were a better way, compared to the old conflicts between territories.

To which Naruto responds that it is the stupidest thing he has ever heard, naturally.

There's something about the way the jonins stand in the background, something about how you can almost feel the memories of the last big shinobi war. To avoid another war, to avoid anything like that, those lands decided to replicate the violence through the Chuning Exams. Quoting Hiruzen:

“... It serves as an arena wherein, for the honor of their respective homelands... Young shinobi may fight... To death, if need be!”

The war never went away, it just became a sort of exclusive event.

My favorite part is that almost all the kids of the Konoha 12 decided to question the true purpose of the Chuning Exams. You got Tenten and Ino and Sakura and Kiba and Naruto boldly facing the Hokage on it, while others acted surprised or just endured it. Suddenly, there's no more fairytale or romantic side to the shinobi life. You are a tool, a weapon expected to die for your land, and if you are not strong enough you are a disgrace that is gonna be forgotten to die somewhere and if you are strong enough you're gonna be sent to die at the battlefield...

They even invite the rich and powerful and the most influential to watch the examinations, so they can decide what Hidden Village they should commission for their missions. They are indeed selling a product: their ability to kill if necessary.

Hiruzen's speech makes me sick. It is imperialism taken to the extreme of a mercenary ruled world.

Here's the transcription of the following passage because holy shit:

Hiruzen — and when one land is strong in battle and the village coffers overflow with the fruits of the many outside commissions this begets, then that village may say to its neighbors, "beware, for we possess prowess and riches and the influence of political power!"

Kiba — So?! Why is it necessary to stake our lives and fight... ?!

Iruka — ...

Hiruzen — The strength of a country is derived from the strength of its village and the village draws strength from the shinobi who live there and the greatest strength of those shinobi only emerges in the midst of a desperate life and death battle!

Now it makes sense why Orochimaru and Jiraiya pushed Sasuke and Naruto to the brink of death so they could "unlock" their hidden strength. It's the way Hiruzen thought, the way he probably taught them. Tsunade at least was gentler with Sakura, even if she broke most of her bones and was strict as the rest of her team.

Another Hiruzen quote, so it can fully hit the tone of his opinions:

“As you struggle for the sake of your very lives and your people, you help to fulfill the dream that was envisioned by your ancestors.”

Mind you, Hashirama dreamed of a world where kids didn't have to fight and get killed. That year, Hiruzen allowed 12 genin kids to participate in the fights, just because their instructors told him they were ready--- in retrospect, the Chuning Exams were a tragedy waiting to happen.

“To preserve the balance of power at the risk of lives is the essence of the friendship in the world of shinobi”l

At some point he tells the kids they are taking not an ordinary test and I think that he would finally tell them they should retire if they value their lives or something like that. All the other jounins tried their best to scare them away, okay? However, he was talking about how they could risk the dignity and prestige of their villages.

I've never been more thankful for the way Gaara told him to shut up and go on with the exam.

Those panels are a masterpiece. They make it very clear that there's nothing romantic about the shinobi system as Hiruzen conceived it. All those "peaceful years" were superficial and consisted of some of the worst crimes ever committed like a massacre, human experimentation, making the children fight to preserve the power balance, etc. they were a lie, one that explains many things.

Tsunade sending a team of rookies after Sasuke doesn't sound so crazy with this in mind.

It's just natural for the jonins. That's the world they grew up in, the one they learned how to move through. But the kids??????

The Konoha 12 was already revolutionary in their thinking regarding the system. You can see in their eyes how they refuse to accommodate such standards, how they plan to change it all.
