Better get a pic for tummy Tuesday before it turns into another tumultuous Tuesday

[autumnwhistles]

(note: this is purely from a character perspective, not a comment on CCs.)

grian and scar have now both been in opposite positions to the original 'cactus ring', and it's so interesting to compare their attitudes to sacrifice on both ends. whether or not scar threw the fight in the cactus ring, he did offer for grian to kill him before it began. grian declined this, but was clearly fighting with the intention to win during the fight itself – he's giving scar a chance, but not sacrificing.

in secret life, scar's on the other end of things. he's fighting another winner – who herself has been sacrificed for previously – and, like grian, is going into what he assumes to be a fair fight... but which is in his favour due to the others' willingness to sacrifice themselves for him. this is a common pattern for winners: in whichever order, they take the win once, and are once willing to sacrifice themselves to let another take it.

cut to wild life.

this time, it's grian in the final two once more, yet again against an – albeit more distant – ally. he's got a win under his belt already, so you might expect him to do what pearl did, what scott did, right? sacrifice their chance at glory to let another taste it for the first time.

and yet:

"I'm going to have to kill Joel"

"Can I win this? I worked so hard on this series, I'd love to win it!"

because here's an important thing about life series!grian: though he's willing to even the playing field, he's not willing to sacrifice – not when it matters. pledge your loyalty to right a wrong, yes; give lives to gain allies hours, yes; refuse others' sacrifices to fight on fair terms, yes. but in the end, no matter how much he wants to stick with friends, no matter how bad he feels about it, no matter how may "i'm so sorry"s he gives – he will put his own life first, in the end.

there's a reason he's the reason for so many of his allies' deaths, after all. and in its contrast, the wild life finale showcases this beautifully.

(and for the record, i don't see anything wrong with this from an out-of-univere perspective – it's been 5 seasons and 3.5 years since Grian's last win, and even if it hadn't been, it's the CCs place to judge fairness, not ours.)

Kinda in regards to the Empress & BodyGuard 2-

Is Zaphira (sorry if I spelled her name wrong) an elf or do humans have pointed ears in your universe? If no elves, how do the pointed ears happen? Are there different length of ears and if so do they mean somethin?

Love your art & use of colours!

Thank you! and thank you for asking! (this sketch took me way too long .. and the colors still look washed out on my desktop screen but im not editing a third time ..)

Zaphira is human, there are no elves, as such, in this world, though humans tend to live longer than IRL and have differently shaped ears-

the shapes are rather diverse (example above) and culturally (so far) they have no significance, they are merely a trait just like different nose shapes or fantasy hair colors

the worldbuilding reason is that these are extremely diluted demonic influences- in the past demons were frequently in the human world, though largely in secret/disguised, and long time exposure to demonic presences can have varying effects, the most immediate and common being a longer life or wounds healing faster than normal; there might have been other long time effects but the only trait that stayed even after their disappearance is the ear shapes

(there was a mass extinction event of demons that wiped out all above a certain age, since demons generally dont die of natural causes their life neither depends nor revolves around reproduction so there were extremely few left and those were too young to keep most of their knowledge and culture alive, as they rarely wrote anything down; Shargon is of the current oldest generation and witnessed it happen, just like most now adult demons, Thor and Eadrya are both a bit older than him and thus the oldest living demons, which doesnt mean much considering the technically endless lifespans of them)

and to explain me including Shargon in a human appearance- hes the only demon that spends as much time in the human world as at home, largely to escape the others since they are not interested in going there and would otherwise attack him any chance they get (the human world is rather uncomfortable for demons to be in and they have better things to do than to chase him that far), while hes generally very weak compared to them, something he is very good at is shape shifting, mainly the speed of which, being able to shift between full demon and the smaller more humanoid form extremely quickly, or even mid forms that are a mix of both - even in motion! while for the others it takes them quite a bit and forces them to stop which is the main reason he keeps escaping them not able to keep up with his rapid shape shifting (though it does take its toll .. also a reason hes so skinny)

he is the first (only?) one that at some point will learn how to shift into a much more human looking one (depicted in the sketch) too, but its rather dangerous since it involves supressing and compressing his demon heart and system... which is what keeps demons alive (its somewhat like holding your breath for way too long) so the only time he would make use of it is in extreme situations, like avoiding detection by maschines that can pick up demonic energy or escaping shackles made of celestial silver (which drains their energy and can scar/hurt them permanently, like silver to vampires(?werewolfs?) in a way)

....the point is that if he shifts into a human form he has very long ears, meaning that is basically the extreme form that doesnt occur in humans and hints at the origins for those ear shapes being demonic exposure in the past

I am once again thinking about the reluctant ruler whose arc justly and correctly includes assuming the throne and taking responsibility for the people set before them

Broken plate

Plate mended

I have a lot of feelings about breaking and repair.

I think about symbolically mending the world whenever I am fixing something, or mending my soul, and how I read that cleaning is a type of meditation in Japan because of how you symbolically clean your mind when you clean your environment. (I don't remotely know if that's true)

I love the idea of visible mending so much. This plate came from a zero-waste swap from someone who didn't want it to go to waste but didn't know or have the time to repair it. The mends are at least as strong as the original material. The break is not undone or camouflaged, it's happened and it is not possible to take back the breaking of a ceramic plate.

It is so healing to know that you can repair broken things, and it doesn't make them unbroken.

But it's also so disappointing to finish the work and not only is the world not mended, but this plate isn't even foodsafe any more. Our history changes us doesn't it, for better and for worse

However. It is beautiful and perhaps that's enough for now. It was enjoyable to carefully measure and apply glue and gold leaf and satisfying to turn four useless things back into one functional piece.

What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are caps shaped like a tooth with the purpose of capping a tooth affected by decay, fracture, or any kind of weakening. They are said to restore the function, shape, and appearance of a tooth. They strengthen and protect the tooth. Dental Crowns can be made from a variety of materials such as stainless steel, metal, porcelain, and zirconia which differ in their advantages according to patient needs.

Why Do You Need Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns have several functionalities and are pivotal in oral health. Few of the requisites are:

Protection Against Decay: Crowns help retain back teeth weakened with decay from further insult.

Repair of Broken or Chipped Teeth: A tooth that has broken or chipped will have its form, structure, and ability to function restored.

Capping Large Fillings: When a tooth has an enormous filling and very little natural tooth structure left, it can receive support from a crown.

Support for a Dental Bridge: Crowns play a major role in keeping the bridge steady and durable.

Improving Aesthetic Appeal: Crowns can help discolored teeth or teeth of odd shape gain a respectable look.

Dental Implants Protection: These crowns would cover dental implants with an appearance/function that mimics natural teeth.

Types of Dental Crowns

In selecting the right type of dental crown, durability, its look, and the cost come into play. The types of crowns usually used are:

Stainless Steel Crowns: These crowns are used conventionally as temporary fixations.

Porcelain Crowns: Porcelain crowns are most often reserved for restoration in anterior teeth for a more natural tooth-like appearance.

Metal Crowns: These crowns are strong with their alloys of gold and/or platinum and highly recommended for teeth that are in the back of the mouth requiring strength.

Zirconia Crowns: If strength and good looks are required, zirconia has become the preferred choice for both anterior and posterior restorations.

Procedure for Getting a Dental Crown

At our clinic in Hyderabad, the steps toward getting a dental crown will be as follows:

First Assessment: An appraisal of the teeth will be done, followed by evaluation to see if a crown is needed.

The Future of Chimney Cleaning: Understanding Power Sweeping Techniques

When it comes to chimney cleaning, technology is constantly evolving to provide safer, more efficient methods. One of the latest advancements making waves in the industry is power sweeping. This innovative technique is designed to deliver a deeper and more comprehensive clean for your chimney.

What is Power Sweeping? Power sweeping involves the use of advanced rotary systems equipped with high-performance brushes that oscillate and rotate simultaneously. These brushes effectively remove soot, creosote, and other debris from the chimney walls, ensuring a thorough clean without damaging the structure.

Why Power Sweeping Stands Out Unlike traditional chimney cleaning methods, power sweeping offers a more efficient and consistent cleaning process. It reaches every corner of the flue, eliminating buildup that could compromise airflow or pose a fire hazard. This technique is also quicker, reducing the time required for maintenance while delivering superior results.

Enhanced Safety and Performance Regular chimney cleaning with power sweeping not only enhances your fireplace’s efficiency but also minimizes the risk of dangerous blockages and chimney fires. By keeping your chimney in top condition, you can enjoy a safer and more comfortable home environment.

Ideal for All Types of Chimneys Power sweeping is versatile and can be used on a variety of chimney types, from traditional wood-burning systems to modern gas fireplaces. It’s a reliable solution for homeowners looking to maintain their chimney’s performance and safety.
