Saying "it's what my character would do" but instead of justifying something morally reprehensible I'm defending my decision to make them eat crunchy paper out of old books

4, 5, 7, 12, 18 - i would like to know ur thoughts about bdubs but feel free to answer with whoever u want yesyes

4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?

putting him in pixie hollow to become a fairy. hes already got the little guy energy i think he would love it there

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

i don't really associate songs with characters tbh? except for like. songs i discovered through a character so i guess for bdubs it would be bang by ajr since i found that song from a last life amv and he's in that ig. sorry for the boring answer but i absolutely do associate songs with ocs if you want to ask about that :eyes:

7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?

i <3 when hes drawn with a moss cloak hes just so greem to me. i have no idea where it came from but i love it. OH AND making him day coded to contrast with night coded etho

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

season 10 bdubs is a panda hybrid to me. why else would he love bamboo so much

18. How about a relationship they have in canon with another character that you admire?

the obvious answer here is ethubs but he has been doing a lot of shenanigans with scar lately and they're so sillay together. they're making an infinite feedback loop of silly

Hi Frank! I'd love to see your mood climb as high as possible over the next week (just a randomly chosen date, no reason there), so I just wanted to wish you a lovely evening! Can you tell me about some of the things that make you the happiest?

Hello there! Thank you for the nice message!

The easiest way for me to raise my mood is to listen to music (this is why I like silent reading -- my brain gets music videos to go along with the words in books).

I like a lot of music but the thing I tend to like most when I'm trying to raise my mood is straightforward instrumental electronic music. It's repetitive and it sounds really pleasant to me -- not boring, but just really soothing. It's extremely distinctive from "real" music in that it sounds like it was made by some sort of "machine," even though it's made by people. The people who make this stuff tend to be fussy about their equipment and put a lot of effort into composing or programming their sounds, but they still tend to end up with the mechanical sound I mentioned.

For instance, my favorite music artist is Lamb. Another artist in the same category is the Japanese artist +doubtfire. Music in the same category is "dubstep" but I'm not sure if that's a meaningful term, and I don't like most of it. However, there is a branch of dubstep called "vaporwave," which I like quite a lot. One of my favorites is Greem, although I don't like all of his work. You can get a sense of what I'm talking about from this mix and this album. (If I just say "dubstep" to you my mind will jump straight to terrible stuff, I guess.)

Mit moderater Haltung zum Oscar - Green Book

Das Green Book ist ein Reiseführer für afroamerikanische Autofahrer in Amerika. In dem gleichnamigen Film von Peter Farrelly wird es dem Chauffeur und Türsteher Tony „Lip“ Vallelonga (Viggo Mortensen) vom Manager des Star-Pianisten Dr. Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali) überreicht. Eine der großen Leistungen der Produktion ist es bei der Reise in den Süden das zunehmende Maß an Rassismus nachzuzeichnen und die stetig fallende Qualität der Unterkünfte des dunkelhäutigen Pianisten zu beschreiben. Rassismus ist eines der Reizwörter in der Filmindustrie und mit Green Book hat man für die Oscarverleihung mal wieder einen Abladeplatz für die Angst vor entsprechenden Ignoranz-Vorwürfen gefunden.

Die Kritik einiger dunkelhäutiger Darsteller und Regisseure gegenüber der Wahl eines zu moderaten Films zum Thema des Rassismus in den Südstaaten des Jahres 1962 ist nachvollziehbar und angebracht. Denn der zentrale Handlungsstrang ist die Entwicklung einer ungewöhnlichen Freundschaft zweier Männer, deren Beziehung sich nur durch ihre Differenzen zueinander beschreiben lässt. Auf der einen Seite der Rausschmeißer und Familienvater Tony, dessen Kennzeichen seine italienische Familie, halblegale Tätigkeiten, dauerhaftes Rauchen, Sport-Essen und ein eher begrenzter Intellekt sind: Auf der anderen Seite der würdevolle, gebildete, einsame und von allen möglichen Bezugsgruppen ausgegrenzten Pianisten Don.   Zwei Monate lang touren die beiden mit Dons Trio durch die Südstaaten, denn Don Shirley ist ein stiller Rebell, der die gesellschaftliche Herausforderung wählt. Während dieser Reise entstehen absurde Situationen. Don wird vor der Toilettentür stehend auf das Plumpsklo im Garten verwiesen, er darf in dem Restaurant wo er kurz darauf spielen soll nichts essen, wird nur aufgrund der Tatsache das er nachts draußen war mit seinem schlagwütigen Chauffeur verhaftet, darf in einem Bekleidungsgeschäft keinen Anzug anprobieren und auch die erste Begegnung des vermeintlichen Doktors und Tonys ist aufgrund der traditionellen Kleidung des Pianisten und seinem erhöhten Thron in der museumsartigen Wohnung absurd zu nennen. Dieses Bild versinnbildlicht die Differenzen der gesellschaftlichen und bildungstechnischen Stände von Don und Tony. Mit solchen Bildern und den dieses Bildungsgefälle entlarvenden Unterhaltungen der beiden Protagonisten (wie man den Oscar-Preisträger Mahershala Ali als Don zum Nebendarsteller machen konnte ist in keinster Weise nachvollziehbar) führen zu einem Grundgerüst der Komik, welche eine wahrhaft kritische und entblößende Haltung nahezu unmöglich macht. Hinzu kommt die letztlich sehr optimistische Haltung, insbesondere gegen Ende des Films. Vertreter der jüngeren Generation und Einzelne zeigen sich als offen für das Ablegen von rassistischen Verhaltensweisen und insbesondere die abschließenden Szenen in einem Club (für Afroamerikaner), wo Don für klassische Klaviermusik reißenden Applaus bekommt und danach als Jazzpianist auftrumpft vermitteln die Hoffnung auf Annährung zwischen den verschiedenen Welten innerhalb der amerikanischen Gesellschaft(zudem schiebt diese Szene die Verantwortung zum Gelingen dieses Traums allein auf die „Weißen“). Mit Tony findet Don letztlich nicht nur einen Freund, sondern auch eine große Familie, welche ihn für die Weihnachtsfeier recht bereitwillig empfängt (nachdem sie zu Beginn alle gemeinsam die Ehefrau Tonys bewachen während zwei dunkelhäutige Installateure in der Küche etwas reparieren).  

Fakt bleibt, dass durch das Setting in der Clubszene der 1960er Jahre für eine gute Atmosphäre für einen gelungenen Unterhaltungsfilm mit einem ordentlichen Soundtrack gesorgt ist. Die kritische Aussage des Drehbuchs ist vorhanden, bleibt aber moderat und deutet die übergeordneten Machtstrukturen nur an. Ali und Mortensen sind ein gutes Team und brillieren in gegensätzlichen Charakteren. Mahershala Ali hat erneut einen Oscar für die beste Nebenrolle erhalten. Nach dem seine Rolle in Moonlight tatsächlich auf wenige Szenen beschränkt war scheint hier die Einordnung als Nebenrolle etwas abwegig da die beiden Protagonisten als gleichwertige Figuren auftreten und eigentlich nur das Intro Mortensen mehr Szenen einbringt. Viggo Mortensen brilliert in der Rolle des ungebildeten aber hinter der rauen Schale herzensguten Mannes. Seine Naivität und Ungebildetheit wirken in keinem Moment unglaubwürdig und für diese Leistung wäre die Erfüllung seiner Oscarnominierung als Hauptdarsteller durchaus angemessen gewesen. Zudem profitiert er ebenso von der Freundschaft mit Don. Dies geht über das Verfassen von Briefen an die Ehefrau hinaus. Beiden Figuren gemein ist das Gehören zu einer, oder im Falle von Don mehreren, Minderheiten. Dadurch verlieren sie ihren beispielhaften Charakter. Don ist nicht nur Teil einer abgehoben erscheinenden Bildungselite und Afroamerikaner, es wird auch angedeutet, dass er schwul ist und zusätzlich dazu möchte er eigentlich klassische Musik machen. Nur leider hat ihm sein Manager empfohlen in die Unterhaltungsbranche zu gehen und das Klischee eines dunkelhäutigen Entertainers zu erfüllen. Tony ist als Nachkomme einer italienischen Großfamilie ebenfalls Teil einer mit Klischees und Vorurteilen verbundenen Gesellschaftsgruppe. Hierbei ist aber zu beachten, dass die Freundschaft dieser Männer nicht das reine Ergebnis eines Drehbuches ist, sondern auf eine wahre Geschichte zurückgreift und damit vollkommen im gegenwärtigen Trend der Filmproduktionen liegt.

Insgesamt weist der Oscarpreisträger von 2019 große Parallelen zu Moonlight auf, welcher 2017 auch in der Kategorie Bester Film gewann. In Barry Jenkins dreiteiliger Lebensgeschichte eines schwulen Schwarzen steht dessen unmögliche Befreiung aus dem Kreislauf des von Gewalt, Armut und Kriminalität geprägten Lebens in seinem Problemviertel im Fokus. Mahershala Ali erhielt für seine dortige Rolle als Mentor des Jungen ebenfalls eine Auszeichnung. Beide Produktionen setzen sich mit prägenden Themen auseinander, ohne dabei wirklich neue Ansätze oder spitzzüngige Kritik zu liefern. Natürlich steht vor der Veränderung die Thematisierung dieser Themen, dieses Projekt wurde aber von anderen Produktionen schon in ähnlicher oder darüber hinaus reichender Weise erfüllt. Green Book und Moonlight sind handwerklich gelungen und werden von teilweise großartigen Leistungen der Schauspieler getragen. Aber eine Langzeitwirkung ist bei beiden Produktionen nicht zu erkennen und sie kratzen letztlich unterhaltend an der Oberfläche. Wobei bei Green Book das Kippen der Absurdität in Komik öfter eintritt. Aber vermutlich hat genau diese Eigenschaft die Produktionen zum Gewinner gemacht. In moderatem Tonfall werden die wohl prägendsten gesellschaftlichen Ausgrenzungsgeschehen unserer Zeit aus individualisierten Zusammenhängen heraus geschildert und ein System umrissen, welches diese Diskriminierungsvorgänge bedingt. Ohne direkte Anklagen oder Lösungsvorschläge wird zum einen Hoffnungslosigkeit gegenüber einer möglichen Veränderung angedeutet (wie Moonlight zeigt) und zum anderen (mit Green Book) eine mögliche Veränderung durch künftige Generationen, in diesem Fall also auch bereits die unsere, in Aussicht gestellt. Die große Differenz zwischen vollkommener Hoffnungslosigkeit und etwas zu optimistischer Haltung ist das letztliche Resultat einer rein beschreibenden Haltung der Filmproduktionen. Inwiefern ein Film direkt auf gesellschaftliche Vorgänge Einfluss nehmen kann und ob das durch ein Kunstprodukt überhaupt möglich ist muss an anderer Stelle diskutiert werden. Green Book hat sich auf jeden Fall bei den Academy Awards unter anderem gegen Vice – Der zweite Mann, Roma und BlacKkKlansman durchgesetzt.

Malleus Draconia’s Flower Bouquet Meaning

Twst Bdays Flower Language Masterlist

I have been waiting and waiting for the release of Malleus’ 3rd Bday card with such anticipation. I literally waited every day until the time Twst JP usually updates with news for some semblance of Malleus Bday card news.

AND NOW MY BOY IS HERE AND HE LOOKS SO FINE PLEASE. His smirk with the fangs sends me. His wink is so cute! Lilia is raising these boys right! Look at HIM.

January is the moth of Diasomnia and I love it, we have Malleus, Lilia, Silver and Sebek card releases. (Diasomnia Stans I hope your gems survive). 

As I did with Lilia’s Bouquet Post , I will be writing more than I usually do. Malleus Draconia is one of my favorite twst characters and he deserves it and all the effort (in this love essay, I will). In addition, I will be adding possible theories along the way and will be mentioning book 7 too and other cards that have been released, so heed spoilers for book 7 and cards that might have not released yet.

At first glance, Malleus’ Bouquet reminded me of Trey’s Bouquet . In the sense that it reminded me of a salad, and I couldn’t help but laugh a bit because of it. When you think about some of the meanings previously discussed in Trey’s Bouquet, it applies to Malleus as well when you think about it: past, present, and future. But I’m getting ahead of myself, we will discuss that later.

It’s really nice seeing Malleus so happy especially without any worries right now (basically flirting with us lolol). After book 7 chapter 1, I am happy he is full of energy and amusement. 

I do wish that his bouquet had more colors to make it pop more, but like Lilia’s, Malleus’ bouquet does fit him rather well. It can give you a glimpse of his past and current mindset, and also a hint to the future of what may come. (please, my heart.) 

Some observations from just from a glance, Malleus’ bouquet may not pop as much color wise, but you know what it does really well? It blends into the environment rather seamlessly.  Unlike Trey, who doesn't like to stand out and would rather blend in, which shows in his flowers. For malleus, it is not by choice. He blends in seamlessly because he is forgotten by those around him. When he is not forgotten, people are scared of him and tend to run away. The only ones to truly notice him missing are Lilia, Sebek, Silver, and MC.

We know that Malleus hates being forgotten and left out and this bouquet shows that while he blends in to the environment, it is not by choice and some of the flower meanings show his feelings towards being forgotten and ostracized. (I’ll never forget you Malleus 💕💕). 

Greem flowers tend to be rare and on further research, they also tend to be mutations in some variations of flowers. This fits Malleus because we can all say that he is a highly respected figure, not only is he a future king in the Valley of Thorns, but he is one of the top ten strongest mages in the world. If we went further, Malleus is a type of dragon fae, and royalty, maybe he might or might not be the last of his kind? Only time will tell, as we know the only relative he has right now is his grandmother. I

In terms of magic power, malleus is extremely strong and we can see how the story swings and the narrative changes when he deigns to step in and help. Book 5, Malleus fixed the stage hence allowing for VDC to continue, and in book 6, he helped Vil by making him young again. We have seen in masquerade the magic potential he has and how that affects the environment as well, and in book 7 a well. Malleus is unique and rare, and that could also show why he is so revered heavily by everyone else when all he wants is to be invited and share experiences with others.

I love how Malleus is also winking in this card, as he is in other cards. You certainly get the Diasomnia closeness as because sebek was also winking in his cards. We also have the smile that Lilia and Silver all share too, which I think is cute! I might be wrong but I think all the third years so far have been winking?

Now, let’s talk about some rather interesting...moves that twst played with the release of this Malleus card. First of all, with the release of the Malleus Bday card, We also received the Silver Dorm SSR card. This is interesting because this is the first time they released a Dorm SSR card without a story update. What’s more, its rather interesting they chose to release it with the Malleus card which makes me wonder how purposely did they do this? Was this as a way to show the connection Silver and Malleus has? 

As in a sense, Malleus can be paralleled to Maleficent and Silver could be Aurora (and the Sword, Shield, and Prince Philip technically) from what we see on the surface level. It's as if they are telling us these two are more connected than we realize and maybe they are a mirror too (or like that one promo where you see Maleficent on one side and the princess on another as two opposite spectrums).

Considering the opposite styles that Malleus and Silver were raise (by Lilia no less), it hurts to see how much this is stressed. You can tell familial love will play a big role in book7 from this alone. It also makes it seem like they are pushing Malleus to play this evil role that he clearly doesn't want to be in when all he wants is to belong and be invited.

Another interesting point I want to bring up is that, Silver is the only one without the title that basically says “___ Protector of the Valley of Thorns” Instead, He is the sleeping guardian. So, we have this disconnect between the four and shows how much of the role Silver might play when it comes to the other three diasomnia residents.  This Post shows the English titles  and this post is a jp comment about it as well I believe .

It alludes more and more to the fact that Silver has a connection to ‘dreams’ and that could also be a hint on how Malleus and everyone could be saved given that Malleus is the King of the Abyss as well. Maybe, Silver’s UM is connected to dreams as everyone speculate, but I digress. We know at the end of the day, these two have a connection and only time will tell what kind of connection and what it will put everyone through (and how it will eventually wreck us too, get your tissue boxes ready everyone. Book 7 chapter 1 already came for us without reprieve.)

Another fact that I find funny is that Malleus’ Duo is Ace. So, I can’t wait to see how Ace and Malleus interact given that Ace....doesn’t care for manners when it comes to people in power and will basically say what's on his mind. Which, we can see from Endless Halloween. I also personally find it funny because many people tend to ship MC with Ace and Malleus and these two always end up in a triangle and I can’t wait to see what happens after the interview lol Ace also doesn’t have his UM so maybe its a hint of Ace’s role in Book 7 (he could be hiding it as well, since we know how much of a trickster he is).

Malleus’ card spells are similar to those of Idia’s Bday ones apparently. Which is funny and interesting given that Idia will play a big role in book 7, especially in terms of grief and moving on and recovering from the loss of a loved one.

I can’t wait to see Malleus’ groovy. I hope its either in dawn or dusk because that would not only be beautiful but give a wonderful symbolism as well. 

Malleus holding the bouquet so effortlessly also shows his strength, I mean look at him, no struggle at all.

You know what makes me so soft about Malleus’ bouquet? It’s that he has signs of those he loves in his bouquet. He has flowers that symbolizes Lilia, Sebek, Silver, and even MC/Yuu.

Now, lets talk about Flowers 🌺💚🌺💚

[As usual, my disclaimer from before stands, flowers have many different meanings depending on region and color, so the meanings I have might differ from the meanings you know.]

In addition, I know there were some feelings of sadness going around with Malleus’ bouquet because most of the associated flower language were negative, but remember every flower has more than one meaning and together, the flower language can change as a whole depending on the bouquet. It also depends on the meaning we choose to empathize over the others. 

His flowers are kind of hard to tell, so I put whichever ones I thought they might be. Get your hearts ready and anything you have that has Malleus’ face because you are going to want to hug him. (total opposite from how I wanted to yeet Lilia during his post lol) 

Flower Colors (general meaning): 

Green Flowers: Health, resilience, good fortune, and youth. We know Malleus is young in terms of Fae age and we know he also has to learn and mature more when in comes to certain instances over the others. Some examples we have seen was when things didn’t go his way and you can see the weather being affected, but also we have to consider that he never really got to act his age has he? Health and good fortune for his future.

White Flowers:  True love, purity, innocence, sympathy.  We know True Love Kiss plays a role in Sleeping Beauty and I can’t wait to see how it plays a role for book 7. In a way, Malleus is innocent in his experience with anything related to modern times, and his situation does make you feel for him. (Malleus, we love you 💕).

Red Flowers: Love, passion, pride, vigor, and strength. (rather fitting, wouldn’t you say?) 

Bouquet:

Green Roses: Renewal, rejuvenation of spirit and energy, growth, abundance, balance, stability, peace, good news and new beginnings. Possibly the future healing that Malleus will go through? (you know, after his mental breakdown...I know know, I’ll be quiet now) [To my knowledge, green roses do not mean jealously. It’s the yellow roses.] I was hoping they would give him red roses to symbolize his rose garden back home too. 

Carnation: Fascination, distinction, and love. In Greek, it is known as God’s Flower.  As some tend to worship Malleus like a God, it's rather fitting for him to have this flower. (Sebek and some diasomnia students come to mind).

Curcuma/Hidden Lilies: Love, Rebirth, Devotion, Purity, Fertility, clear and sincere intentions. When I first saw these, my mind literally went Lilies = Lilia and with several of the meanings it makes you wonder doesn’t it? Especially as Rebirth seems to be a themes in Malleus and Lilia’s bouquet. (Sleeping curse maybe?) These also look like the flowers you see in the Live Action Sleeping Beauty 2 Movie, during the wedding. You know when Maleficent walks Aurora down the Aisle. So it could also be stressing the relationship Malleus has with Silver. Technically, all three of them. Can be used to treated stomach problems and this makes me laugh because Lilia had stomach problems in that one Firelit Sky event, hence another factor in representing Lilia.

Green Lisanthus: Appreciation, charm, charisma, and confidence. (Malleus in a flower basically 💕)

Cala Lily (Burgundy): Life’s right of passage, purity, holiness, faithfulness, courage and determination. (Silver and Sebek determination to protecting their Lord.) 

Dracaena Fragans: meaning Dragon, financial and career success (he will make wonderful king), peace and good fortune.

Amaryllis: to sparkle, pride, strength, determination. These flowers blooms every year despite looking frail and it doesn’t take much to have them grow year after year. An interesting story is about a maiden who fell in love with a cold hearted man. She pierced her heart with a gold arrow and visited his cottage. After 30 days, her droplets of blood became beautiful flowers and the man fell in love with her and she was healed. Another type of Amaryllis is the cluster ones, we know it as the spider lilies. Common ones are the red spider lilies which is basically a red flag because it usually means death and last goodbye. This could symbolize the long life Malleus has ahead of him as well. White Amaryllis means beauty, devotion, and love. In addition, White Amaryllis symbolizes children and the innocence that comes from them. It reminds me of the story that Malleus told MC about how he just wanted to belong and had a tantrum that led to the castle becoming frozen in ice. Lilia was the only one who stepped forward and helped him and it implies that's how Malleus ended up loving ice cream. (My heeearrrttt) Also, the other story of how Lilia had his hair burned because baby malleus blew fire too lolol.

Houseleeks/Succulent: Always Living, enduring and timeless love, forever, does not change, Will live in harsh environments (My heart damnit, my heart).

Elderberry/Elder: inner strength, courage, calm fears, resilience, joy, protection from evil, prolong life, and peaceful sleep. “Eld” can also mean fire.

Olives: friendship and reconciliation, cleansing and healing, light, victory and richness, and above all, a sign of peace. (I’m not crying, you are!).

Hypericum Berries: symbol of peace, protection, rebirth 

Acai Palm: Nutritious, growth in wilderness.

Thistle: Pain, aggressiveness, pride, and Protection.

Cordylines: Added to flowers to add emphasize to other flowers meanings, good luck, and fortune. Often it is confused with Dracaena. 

Random Fact: Anniversaries could also be considered, since its the 3rd bdays for all the boys, their flower will be Sunflower: strength  be well, happiness, male healing, confidence, self-esteem, assertiveness. Sounds just like them, doesn’t it?

So I know you said you don't have favorite things so instead I was wondering what the last book you read would be? If you don't mind me asking of course.

True crime book by Ryan Greem

[roughentumble]

so, i adore all these underwater-themed exhibits in the oscorp science museum that we get to explore-- truly i do! and there's cute little banter, and it's like Ahhh Memories, idk, its all very sweet(also makes me miss museums fbsjdnksbd) but like i do have to say

it doesnt seem very on-theme for the rest of the game? like, idk, i guess exhibits on like, Greem Energy or Cloaking Tech or Electricity Whatever would maybe be TOO on the nose, but ocean life kind of has mothing to do with any of the four villains?

anyway i mostly am only saying this because i desperately want to play the comic book/spider-man game where this IS extremely heavy handed. i want an ocean villain. new york is an island, they could make it work
