July 28th 1968 - 'Mad Day Out' photoshoot. (Location 6 - Wapping Pier Head)🌸

After leaving the old church and gardens of St Pancras, the Beatles went to east London to Wapping Pier Head and Wapping High Street. The first photographs were taken on the corner of Sampson Street🌼

Mal Evans: "Then we went to the London docks."💐

Tom Murray (photographer): "It was my suggestion to make a stop at Wapping Pier Head. I thought it would be a beautiful view against the backdrop of the river, cranes and coastal buildings🥀

Paul saw the chains, took off his shirt, shoes, socks, and walked down to the water's edge. He looked around to make sure I was ready to capture the moment and pretended to be chained. I didn't have a flash with me, but such unpreparedness forced me to make quick decisions🍃

There was no time to replace the film in the camera. I had a split second to react, but the photos only got better. Plus, the guys didn't have to wait for me to get ready for the shoot. I just became the background for them🍂

The creepiest shot of all was when John suddenly lay down on the ground and the other three looked down at him, as if he had passed out or died. They looked very worried. I took two colour photographs. One with John's eyes open, the other with his eyes closed. George put on John's glasses. He just picked them up quickly. This is a very strange story. I don't know why he did that🪷

Everything happened in seconds. One minute he stood, and the next he was lying down. Ringo put his hand on his head, and that was it. Only two shots."🌺

Me during the whole red wedding sequence, focusing on Harumi:

Me (and the rest of the harumi stans) after the red wedding sequence when she is still alive AFTER ALL THESE DAMN YEARS:

Can't you believe Lais? SHE LIVES!!!! THEY FINALLY LET HER BREATHE!!!!!!!!!

Most accurate reaction fr cause

GIIRLL! THIS SCENE IS EVERYTHING TO ME!!!

I just love everything about this scene, my favourite part gotta be her going all dramatic like "Oh no, my hubby is going to war and there's nothing I can d-- SIKE!!"

And the way she goes battle mode, practically waltzing through the battlefield with such deadly and yet graceful moves! Girl really is a crane! :O

Also, she shut up once and for all those who doubted she could fight! Even though this scene

Has been around for A YEAR and the whole point of Kuai look for her is because of her skill and experience but ANYWAYS!

Her fighting was awesome, I love Cyrax protecting her and I LOVE Harumi not hesitating in kick Sektor’s ass when she threatened her! Sektor was lucky Cyrax intervened cause Harumi was NOT taking threats lightly!

And after we have Harumi beating up the soldiers holding her and standing up for Kuai! Look how her guard is up the whole time!

Kuai Liang you LUCKY BASTARD!

It's so good that she was the one who outed Bi-Han! She really said "Girl, this guy is full of shit!"

And the fact that her last act in the story was a merciful one!

Ever since this scene was leaked, I saw everyone making it all about Kuai, how "Oh, she's HIS moral complass" "HIS self control" ada ada ada!

But this scene is so much more about her and Cyrax! It's her way of repaying Cyrax for her mercy, protection and HONOUR, which is all Cyrax wants, to be an honourable warrior! And Harumi was the first to view her as such, she's the first to believe her and give her a shot at redemption!

Harumi is on Cyrax corner from the beginning and I think that speaks VOLUMES about her character!

I said all this just to emphasize the fact that not only they gave us a "for once, she lives" but also showcased what we have believed for A YEAR, that Harumi Shirai

IS AN AMAZING CHARACTER WHO DESERVES TO BE RECOGNIZED!🌺🩷

Oh oh!! Do you have a list of summer themed Mikus? I've been looking for one but I'm not super into the colors of some of them...

Not yet, but here's a whole bunch of em!! A few of these figures have alt color schemes available, so look into it if you like one but don't vibe with the colors (>ω^)

[niuniente]

This is what I also do to discover the small delights; paying attention to each season's first signs and when does it occur:

🌺 Spring's First Times:

Seeing ground after the winter and snow

Puddles and streams appearing

Seeing the first icicles hanging from the roofs

Noticing each migrating bird returning, especially noticing swans and cranes (if I'm lucky to spot them)

The sun feels warm after cold winter (winter sun is NOT warm)

Flower(s) pushing through the snow

Pussy willow budding (the buds are soft like kittens!)

Shrubberies budding their leaves

Birch budding its leaves

When the sun doesn't really set but it's still a full day at 12am.

Seeing the first flies awaken

Ice-hockey's World Championship Games

Eastern chocolate's appearing in the stores

Eastern decorations in stores and seeing bunny and little chick items

Hearing blackbirds singing

Changing to the mid-season duvet from heavy winter duvet

🌞 Summer's First Times: (as much as I do hate summer)

Full proper leaves on everything

Lakes and the sea are free of ice

Grass growing

Seeing or hearing swallows

Seeing the first butterfly

Seeing the first bumblebee

The first summer rain of the year

The first thunder of the year

New ice-cream flavors coming to stores for summer and trying them

The day I need to wear sandals

Going out in a rain with an umbrella

Time to change for a summer duvet

Bringing a fan out

Eating cherries

🍁 Autumn's First Times:

The day when the air is crisp in the morning

Smelling the upcoming cold day in the air at evening

When it too cold to keep a balcony door open

When it's cold enough to put the fan away

Time to change for a mid-season duvet

Wearing mittens

Wearing a beanie

Frozen puddles which break like glass when stepped on

Ground/grass is frozen in the morning

Breath steaming

Spotting a leave changing colors

Discovering first mushrooms

Discovering first acorns

This one specific store having Halloween items and them appearing

Migrating birds leaving

Hearing and seeing geese leaving

When it's again dark enough and the night and day last about the same amount

Dark enough for candles

Hearing birds singing their winter time tunes.

Seeing ripe rowan berries

❄Winter's First Times:

Seeing the first snow

Changing to a winter duvet

The first snow which stays on the ground and doesn't melt

Mullet wine appearing in the stores

Christmas items appearing in the stores

First Christmas decorations both in stores and on peoples' windows/balconies

People changing their car tiers to winter tiers (they make a different sound than summer tiers)

First blizzard (if any, depends each year)

First time hearing or seeing someone clearing streets and roads from the snow

First Christmas songs

Christmas online radio starting to operate again

Christmas cards appearing in stores

Seeing the first animal tracks on the snow

In the country sides the utter silence as soon as the sun sets around 2pm. (That kind of a silence which in normal forests during a normal time means that a predator is on the move, but here, it is just the nature sleeping).

Seeing the first northern lights (if any, depends each year)

The temperature outside drops below -20C

The temperature outside drops below or at -30C (if any, depends each year)

Christmas chocolates appearing in stores (although this typically already happens in the late autumn)

Valentine's Days cards appearing in stores

sick!reader having cuddles wiv astarion 🤭💕

~🌺

just imagine his hand cradling your stomach, plush lips against your neck and the back of your ear. you're burning up, but having the cold slab of marble that is your vampire lover beside you makes it all better.

❝ in an hour or two, you'll need me to leave. ❞ his breath is a gentle ghost along your shoulder. he simultaneously pulls you closer with the arm around your waist.

you make a confused noise, too weak to do much else.

astarion huffs, nibbles at the shell of your ear. ❝ when your fever breaks, you'll get cold. and i'll have to leave. ❞

gods, that annoys you.

with what little strength you have left, you crane to look at him behind you, all wide, red eyes and perfect pouty lips.

❝ i would never ask you to leave, ❞ you respond in a whisper. ❝ i don't care if it's a fucking blizzard, you're not leaving. ❞

astarion makes a noise of apparent contentment, and one of his strong legs slips between yours. ❝ you're perfect, you know that? ❞

Naming Conventions

🌷;; Borrower names are often borrowed from nouns or adjectives, or borrowed from animals/human names.

🍀;; The following shows the most common borrower names. Some names have strong female or male associations, but most of them are unisex. Most borrowers' names are strictly dictionary, literal nouns and rarely have deeper forms.

❄️;; After seasons: Spring, Winter, Summer or Autumn/Fall. Often because they were born in that season or because it holds a special meaning for the parents. Example: The parents met in Summer, the kid was born in Winter, or they found a home in Spring.

🌺;; After flowers: Rose, Lily, Ivy, Violet, Magnolia, Lilac, Rosemary, Bluebell, Wisteria, Tulip, Margaret, Buttercup, Peony, Orchid, Camellia, Lavender, Petal.

🌳;; After herbs, trees and other plants: Basil, Dandelion, Laurel, Cedar, Leaf, Willow, Aspen, Clover, Cypress, Ginger, Olive, Mint, Herb, Sage, Moss, Pine, Oak, Branch.

🌎;; After noble occupations that their family used to have or that they find brave and charming: Archer, Hunter, Ranger, Author, Gather, Dancer, Rider, Fisher, Rogue, Striker, Chaser, Poet, Explorer

🍎;; From fruits, spices or food: Apple, Honey, Apricot, Cherry, Cinnamon, Plum, Peach, Tangerine, Lemon, Almond, Sesame, Rue, Strawberry, Saffron, Pepper, Maple, Berry, Clove, Tea, Thyme, Fennel, Coriander

���️;; From household items or tools: Penny, Denim, Clay, Quill, Blade, Treasure, Dagger, Cotton, Jewel, Velvet, Calico, Anchor, Feather, Dice, Coal, Shell, Guitar, Bell

🐿️;; From animals or bugs: Robin, Raven, Hummingbird, Byrd, Fox, Bee, Fawn, Lark, Cricket, Newt, Crow, Teal, Buck, Sparrow, Doe, Dove, Crane, Swan, Canary, Wren.

🌙;; From natural phenomena: Rain, Storm, Sky, Snow, Cloud, Sun, Moon, Star

⭐;; From human names/pet names: for example, being named after a cool name your parent saw in a magazine, or once when they saw what the human called the housecat.

Changing your name in borrower culture:

• Contrary to popular belief, often borrower names given by parents don't actually have a deep value, like with humans. They're often more than welcomed to change it however they wish, this is known as "to borrow a name".

• Some borrowers will change their name just because they found a nicer one, or they want to transition to one that fits more their current identity or their age. Some nicknames may transform into a borrowers' name, this is surprisingly common. This tradition is popular, especially reaching adulthood or even late teens, and some communities heavily encourage the borrowing of a name to signal a borrower is ready to get involved within the community. A borrower may have borrowed lots of names through their lives.

• Some people give their kids ‘baby names’. This is the case of names like ‘Peanut’, 'Raindrop', "Button" or ‘Seed’ and they are expected to be changed later on when the borrower finds their own identity. The new name shall be called the "Chosen name/true name", and it is considered demeaning/patronizing/sometimes mocking to insist on using the baby name of someone to address them (if you happen to know it); this happens a lot with parents and their young. Baby names lose their value the second they change it, so it's not really necessary to let others know what it was unless you want to explain the term to a human and get teased for one month.

🪲;; Some spelling has changed over time, transforming “Bird” into “Byrd”, for example. There is also a tendency of choosing shorter names, making "Leaf" or "Petal" one of the most common ones.

🪲;; Giving nicknames based on their skills, personality or appearance is very common. This tradition has developed from survival purposes but now it is considered cultural, a form of showing love and is especially seen from older borrowers to the young.

🪲;; Borrowers don't have middle names.

About last names: This depends on the family, some of them consider them superficial and have no last names. Some borrowers do HAVE last names, especially the ones living in communities. As with names, last names don't usually hold a deeper value and have very literal meanings. Most of them reflect the particular part of the landhouse their hideout is close by, whether it's the Clock, the Cabinet, the Shower, etc. Their last names may or may not be subject to change in case they move out, some could be slightly attached to them so they choose to keep it.

Generally speaking, when a borrower "marries" another and they move out, they'll get a new last name based on the location they're building their hideout on, which their children will inherit until they move out. This would make most Borrower's last names transitory.

(References to Lightseeker and Lumiere if you don't mind!)

I draw random shapes on Xavier's bare chest as we lay in bed together.

Absentmindedly I wonder "Are you Xavier Shen because you're the strongest or are you the strongest because you're Xavier Shen?"

-🌺

(I feel like Xavier has been under some sort of immense pressure his whole life. Like to save humanity if that makes sense. The fate of Philos always resting on his shoulder even as a young prince, like knowing that would be his duty. Finding out what's done to keep Philos alive and taking the sole knowledge and responsibility to change that. Literally being the Savior (I love how this rhymes with Xavier😅) of Linkon and perhaps Earth directly and indirectly. And of course finding and protecting MC. Xavier is so underrated in many ways)

The only thing about laying with her like this is it was difficult to watch her breath beautiful face. He attempts to crane his neck to see her better, indulging in the feeling of her fingers on his skin, feeling her warmth, taking in her scent, soothed by the way her chest rose and fell with each breath and sentence. It was his undoing and his very making altogether.

"Neither." He says confidently, taking her chin in his hand to administer a soft kiss.

"I'm the strongest because I have you."

Swinging Sixties: Gardens, Grooves, and Icons🍀

1967 marked a transformative era in the USA - a time when Beatlemania reigned supreme and the British Invasion left an indelible mark on American pop culture. Vogue US, wanting to capture this zeitgeist, shone the spotlight on Twiggy - London's teen sensation and the embodiment of the swinging '60s. Barely 17, with her transformative partner (and once her hairdresser) Justin de Villeneuve guiding her journey, the duo touched down in Los Angeles in May 1967 for an unforgettable Vogue moment🌷

The scene? A glamorous afternoon at the Beverly Hills residence of the legendary Sonny Bono and Cher. And as Twiggy herself recalled in a 2018 BBC Radio interview, "I was at this party, and suddenly there was this motorbike revving up: it was Steve McQueen!" The king of cool himself, already an Hollywood icon, alongside his elegant wife Neile Adams, had graced the gathering. Drinks, dance, and delightful company!🍂

Here's a thought: which song had them all dancing the day away? What about The Monkees' "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You"🌹

It was a major hit, securing top spots on the UK singles chart back in May 1967!🪷

QUICK READING RECAP

15th to the 21st of may 2023

🐮🍨🧸how does taylor swift feel about matty healy?

↳ 8oW, 9oP, Borage rx

she’s more focused on how she feels with him - which is that she’s doing something brave by being with him and flaunting him.

🌰🫧💭 how does matty healy feel about the hate he’s getting?

↳ judgement, temperance, 4oS

he’s upset about it but he’s also pretty self-confident so it’s not that hurtful. some of it has genuinely made him think more. overall, he’s pretty “time heals all wounds” about it and thinks that people, including himself, will get over it someday.

⭐️🌻💫is blackpink jennie satisfied with her career right now?

↳ chariot, adder, 5oC, KnoS

mostly yes. some things that fall through get to her, but she isn’t super mopey or sad about it.

🌲🌿🌴how does twice sana feel on their tour right now?

↳ 6oC, fern, PoC

she’s happy. her energy is good right now. she’s also trying to savour it as much as possible, perhaps it’s their last tour or something as far as she knows.

📓📒📔how does doja cat feel right now?

↳ burdock rx, AoS, 9oP

she’s in a victim mindset right now and feels she needs to prove herself. she feels burdened and alone but also strong and powerful at the same time. her mind is anxious and overactive in general.

🦋🪻🪼what do the txt members think of the fanwars between moas and stays?

↳ 2oC, 4oW, flax

they think it’s expected and normal. overall they enjoy the security of having loyal fans and think it gives their career added stability.

🍂🍄🍃is it true nct haechan and itzy ryujin began dating around the beginning of the pandemic?

↳ AoW, AoC, AoS, 6oW, 10oC

yes.

💫🌼🌾what does taylor swift think of matty healy’s controversies?

↳ primrose rx, AoC, 2oP, QoW

she’s too infatuated to think his controversies have anything to do with who he is now. she thinks everyone can begin again and sees herself in him - she thinks about how she’s also grown and changed a lot over time. she thinks they can overcome what’s happening even though right now it’s difficult.

⚾️🍔🌽how does halle bailey feel about everyone’s opinion on her relationship with ddg?

↳ hanged man, air dragon, 7oP

she thinks she can’t control it so she does her best to ignore it but it has gotten to her before, even somewhat often, and it makes her question things.

🦥🦢🐉nct jaehyun’s turn offs in someone?

↳ whip, rider, 3oS

argumentative, needs to be right, competitive, attention seeking, materialistic, obsessed with social media and bragging on there, someone who compares themselves to others, too secretive.

🥦🥧🥮is there truth to stray kids hyunjin bullying scandal?

↳ temperance, emperor, crane rx

yes but it doesn’t seem it was really that malicious or violent or anything (maybe this is already known sorry), it was more just regular arguments and mean things a lot of kids or teens say to each other in their school days. it was regular school drama that did get a bit nastier than maybe what everyone experiences but it’s wasn’t extreme either.

🍱🍣🍙is there truth to itzy lia bullying scandal?

↳ lovers, 3oC, 7 of wands, QoC, chamomile

the overall answer is no. there was some drama involving who she was dating or who a friend was dating. lia either dated someone who the friend liked or the other way around. in either case lia was the more popular one. she was considered prettier and more fun so classmates chose her side and only a few chose the other friend’s and the friend then felt ostracised. it wasn’t good for anyone involved but to call it bullying would be a reach.

🌸🌺🌸how do itzy feel about their concept being changed?

↳ the chariot, AoC, frog rx, the fool

it was sold to them really well. they were told what their expected success was if they stuck with their old concept vs what it would be if they made changes and they were all pretty on board with it. they don’t think every decision that has been made has been a good one and they do worry that there’s been too many mistakes but overall they think this is the better longterm (or stable) option financially.

🐉🥧🍪would lucas still have been kicked out of wayv and nct if he were korean?

↳ resorters rx, six of swords

yes, i think they just saw the damage to his reputation as too irreparable regardless so this was really the only solution.

🧸🎁🪭how does fx krystal see snsd taeyeon?

↳ clover rx, the world

krystal sees taeyeon as super successful but that she’s an opportunist and is often looking for more she can get. she also thinks taeyeon doesn’t take things seriously enough.

🥡🥢🧂is blackpink rosé really dating gang dong won?

↳ KnoC, KnoS, eagle

yes, they were definitely thing but i don’t know where they are at right now, they’re going through a rough patch at the very least.
