I really wanted to highlight these panels for the artistic choices that nightow made

While reading, all of these panels show up in a very impactful manner when talking/showing knives and rem. These spreads were all preceded by "standard" pages, where lots of dark greys and blacks are used, creating a big contrast with the turn of the page where nightow only uses line and a few light grays and omits backgrounds creating these angelic and abstract images. They reflect a lot of purity and power, each in their own way, enchancing especially the otherworldliness of the plants.

This carries on into the panels knives and vash share, where reborn knives is this blank canvas, white and pristine, while vash wears black, full of details and scars in connection to humans and their lived-in-ness (?). It's interesting how the roles of black and white (bad/good) are visually reversed and how they carried this too into stampede!

#i feel like this is extremly basic i also feel like there is much more to say but to quote vash #i have soupy brain right now #i also find it fun how reading this on a screen i can physically feel my pupils getting wider the second these show up #due to the amount of white #trigunbookclub #trigun #fmtbc

As someone who works with dogs, I feel compelled to tell you that Kristen’s comment of “What are you, four dogs?” upon hearing Kipperlily Copperkettle’s name is SO REAL.

#I’ve been making linguistics trees because every dog name is just SO SIMILAR #Lily is an offshoot of the ‘consonant-vowel-consonant-ee’ structure #while both Kipper and Copper while not actually being the names of dogs I’ve worked with.#follows the pattern of ‘consonant-vowel-consonant-consonant-vowel-consonant’#kettle would actually be a unique name for a dog due to its unusual structure and non-traditionalism #but combined with the other three its almost even more stereotypical #the AMOUNT of dog families that have a few basic names and one ‘quirky’ name #the ‘a white family’s herd of yorkies’ is just. so real.#dimesnion 20 #d20 #dimension 20 fantasy high #fantasy high #fantasy high junior year #fhjy #d20 fhjy #dimension 20 fhjy #fhjy spoilers #kristen applebees

i think that veganism as a political movement has a lot of interesting things to say about how food agriculture has been shaped by consumerism and the way its alienated the average westerner from food production especially around meat. its a cruel cruel industry for everyone involved and it sucks.

unfortunately it also overwelmingly falls victim (like a lot of other socially progressive political movements lol) to a complete inability or perhaps a refusal to engage with rural indigenous communities especially in the global south. which is ironic because (like a lot of other socially progressive political movements) much of their theoretical framework for reforming society Depends on rural indigenous communities especially in the global south ^.^

#this isnt just about how a lot of rural indigenous communities cannot survive on a vegan diet altho that is part of it #but its also more importantly about how a lot of the global north cannot survive on a vegan diet without exploitation!#and a lot of my issues with veganism as a political movement stems from the fact that ive never heard of a vegan solution to #food production that isnt reliant on restructuring imperialist foodways but just Making them Vegan Now #meanwhile you look at historic examples of widespread adoption of veganism and vegetarianism #and theyre almost all in subtropical fertile regions with a huge diversity of native grains and fruit and veg #i guess the uk is a good example of it because the uk already imports so much fruit and vegetables #the uk as an island in a temperate/subarctic position cannot grow the amount of food required to feed their population on a vegan diet #this goes for a lot of europe and north america in fact. so if the whole world was just gonna switch to a vegan lifestyle #the global north would largely be fed by the global south (as it is now)#perpetuating systems of oppression of both land and people in the global south. not much would change on that end #this is largely because a lot of vegans are these super alienated super priviliged white settlers from the suburbs #and they project their alienation onto others #anyway i think about the politics of veganism a lot for someone who will never be vegan (due to geographical and ethical concerns)#probably because until recently my family and others in my area have relied on hunting for food

Fig and apple pie with pecan-cardamom crust. The figs and the apples were both foraged, which is always fun. Smells super good !

It was supposed to be in a pie tin, but I had 3/4 of a pound of figs rather than the half pound the recipe called for. And then needing to scale the recipe complicated the already confusing situation of reading while dyslexic. So I largely gave up on reading, and this is more inspired by the recipe than anything else, but here it is nonetheless: Fig, Apple, and Walnut Tarts. Anyway, it ended up too big to fit in a pie tin, hence the cobbler dish.

#havent had any due to classic long covid 'food has an almost imperceptible amount flavor if any at all'#but i can currently smell things so id rather juat smell it tbh #my roommates were at least eating it so it seems to be edible :D #cooking #baking #like there are a million competing reasons i dont and cant follow recipes (or patterns or any other written/illustrated steps)#but today it was Cant Read and Confusing All Three Recipes I Looked At With Each Other And Making An Amalgamation On Accident #along with Missing Ingredients and Philosophical Dispute With Author #(egg yolk in the crust and then she never uses the white. which i do not agree with at all #chekhovs egg--if part of an egg is used in a recipe then so too does the other part of the egg. get creative.#in this case i put it in the topping as it was already described as supposed to be crispy so...#it probably could have done with half a white honestly but it did turn out crispy)#i did also use a little food coloring. not proud of it but it was a very unappealing shade of green that lacked contrast with the crust #so *shrug*

Casket of Souls review: Stressful.

I think it’s really funny though that they make Thero save Illia and then he passes out, but we don't find out about how they handle the remaining dozens of bottles. Like, I'm assuming Thero and Valerius team up to figure out which souls go with which sleeping patients, and Thero casts his magic circles to save as many as possible, or instructs other wizards on how to help, and we simply don't see it. But also, what if actually there was a time crunch and all those people died because Thero used up his energy to immediately save Illia?

#this book giving me the thesis that if a previously unmentioned child character suddenly gets a pov chapter in a lynn flewelling book.#they’re fucked #between the kids in this book and the plague kid in the Tamír Triad. sucks to be a destitute child about to be afflicted by magical ailments #Anyway this story did stress me out enough that I wanted to go find a summary of it to read. but the wiki doesn't have one #and neither does wikipedia. even though it does for the first 5 #my kindle did also suddenly decide to claim I'd also read it before. but while I'm willing to believe i read white road before but forgot #(due to it being effectively the second half of shadows return. so even though i had no memories of it.#i can't imagine i didn't want to follow up on what happened w sebrahn so I probably just read it at 3am and retained no memories)#i think the occasional moment of familiarity i felt towards this book was due to the amount of fantasy I've read in my life #and i will distrust my technology #all of this is very off topic except that i wanted to explain why i found this book so stressful which was: didn't know who would die or not #nightrunner series #cc #my thesis btw is that probably for the bottles w the final symbol inscribed #if you fed the liquid to the patient the soul belonged to they'd probably be fine right??#bc we know they can take in liquid and also like. uh. pretty direct way to get soul back. but I'm no drysian.

i just remembered that theory going around on tiktok for a while about how the ✨christian myth✨ of adam and eve CAME FROM nordic myths and everyone was like "OMG NO WAY THATS CRAZY I CANT BELIEVE THEY DONT TEACH US THIS IN SCHOOL"

and now i'm annoyed all over again. i don't think common sense is very common.

#the CHRISTIAN MYTH.......#the amount of ppl that just do not comprehend that the tanakh is older than christianity is actually insane to me #like yes.... christianity came long after the norse gods. judaism did not. shut up for the love of fuck #like ah yes this ancient semitic culture with direct ties to older semitic religions where they got those myths #for SURE stole the idea of important apples from the white people thousands of miles away from them #kill yourself.#IT WASNT EVEN AN APPLE IN HEBREW IT'S JUST A COMMON IMAGERY THAT CAME PRIMARILY OUT OF CHRISTIANITY #AND SPECIFICALLY *THAT* MAY HAVE BEEN DUE TO CONTACT W NORDIC RELIGION #i just. not to rant i'm so sorry but it's so impossibly ignorant and the dude showed up on my fyp again and i got mad all over again #and ofc he's showing up w more stupid ass theories

thinking about treebury crispin and his (now dead) mother . seeing as he's quite old i think there's quite a bit of potential for his lore

#random thoughts #treebury upon avon #treebury upon avon crispin #how old is he? i'll be honest . somewhere around 400. he's . old as fuck #but actively denies it. and the fact that he is a vampire. due to complicated history with his mother #i must treebury on the treebury blogs yes. but. h #his mother never took him seriously when he spoke and sang to the flowers. assumed there was something wrong with him. took him to see #quite the amount of healers. certainly #and considering how he was a sickly (and part vampire) child. who particularly enjoyed going outside. he was obviously unwell very often #and would constantly eat the flowers. especially the white roses. but how would he know which flowers were poisonous? roses are edible #of course. but. hydrangeas #(adding in real life experience because i'm cool like that . delicious blue hydrangeas)

There's nothing like explaining "Be fruitful and multiply" to someone not raised Christian that will make you want to shed like a lizard
