#he did not get half of the plant facts im sorry law he was very kiss focused

[narumakiii]

continued from x / @celestiialnotes

silvery hues sparkle with amusement as feint succeeds. they were underneath the usually dreaded plant mirth & playfulness etched into the corners of raven's smile. he's seen others fall PREY to it many times before. he himself careful around the holidays usually as his crew loved to PRANK their youngest addition to the family with such things. childish it was but in this very moment it wasn't anymore. it was exciting, fire fueling even as specks of flames lick across fingertips in the HEAT OF WANT . pupils slightly blown the explanation was barely registered before he was pulled into the most sinful kisses he's shared before. his firsts with someone like Law his firsts with someone serious & his firsts underneath a mistletoe. it was intoxicating as heart captain's smell filled his nostrils, lips tremling every second they stayed connected. a little sigh fell unknowingly when they parted, ashen hues covered by fluttering ebony lashes. the starlight hues seemed darker than usual as lashes flicker open ONCE AGAIN .

teasing comment though brought him back to reality ; the raven spluttering immediately crimson on cheeks burning as bright as the fire UNDERNEATH skin. he was probably a furnace temperature wise if anyone was cold.

❛ i d-don't need a plant ? what if i wanted to do that though ?   ❜ he had wanted to make it special ; one of their firsts to be A MEMORY for years to come. ace was someone who guarded his heart & memories very closely. he was picky when it came to share moments of tenderness with people as he was a HOPELESS ROMANTIC deep down. the raven liked to give firsts & meanings to everything surprising his family a lot with creating small moments a lot as well on the platonic side.

❛   does . . does that mean i could get more ?   ❜ addon was a murmur mumble soft & gaze drawn to ground as he pressed the hat down with one palm ; trying to hide the DEEP RED that seemed to be permantly nestled onto apple round cheeks now. he could still taste Law 'pon lips.

your requested reminder to post knives going nuclear on zazie when you can :)

ok so im going to be reblogging this to the body horrors week later cause. uh. well. knives. quite literally goes nuclear?

all of these screenshots are from the overhaul project cause i haven't managed to catch the dark horse digital editions on sale yet, though i'll provide the dark horse translations where i can because i have physical copies, and the dark horse translations are imo clearer here.

there are ids in all the alt texts for the photos, it's why this took several days longer than i'd originally planned -finger guns- alt texts might look a little weird in the first set btw - tumblr started eating the photoset and i had to spend an extra half an hour fixing it -finger guns-

the pages are volume 11, pages 90-92, and 114-17, because a lot of the pages in between are leadup pages and also have the zazie control worm. thing.

pages 90-2 are the distant explosion (you can click on the first image and see it in the photo viewer, if for some reason it will not view in dashboard mode. But it does exist!)

(on page 90, dark horse is a lot more specific, with "the northeast sky is glowing" instead of "the whole sky is glowing". the other two boxes with text read "what is--?!" and "oh my..!" respectfully as if they were cut off mid sentence.)

so uh.

knives went uh.

literal "nuclear bomb exploded just above a town"

because he kind of did. Unlike a true nuclear bomb, he did not form a mushroom cloud, but the metaphor is still there. that is a nuclear metaphor

per pages 114-117 (pages are from left to right, read the pages right to left. sorry)

(legato's speech bubbles on page 114 in the dark horse edition read: Survival of the fittest is the law of nature. What is about to happen now is a just a logical extension of that. Be very afraid. You are in his presence. Did you not notice, Leader of the Sand Worms?

It reads very differently, imo, more like Zazie was caught up in their own plots and schemes to realize the control worm didn't work. Legato is also telling Zazie that Zazie should be afraid of Knives. Okay? Not asking if Zazie is afraid. Telling Zazie to be afraid. Like some sort of reverse "Be Not Afraid" from the bible.

Zazie's thought bubbles on page 115 are translated as "the dark hole is swallowing the poison" which reads more like knives made a black hole. given the visuals? that sounds more likely. Black holes, as a real life thing that we know about and have tried to study, are often referred to as swallowing things that pass too close. knives made a mini black hole to eat the poison from the sand worm venom. knives has consumed the dependent plants.)

the fact is, as a metatextual read, plants are nuclear reactors. independent plants are walking nuclear bombs. Nightow did this on purpose. We're meant to read them as something nuclear.

This is, as i was saying to @needle-noggins the other night when i was working on it in an attempt to get more of the alt texts written, a casual display of power. Knives is throwing a hissy fit! Knives is throwing a multi-megaton display of power because Zazie tried to take him over with the control worm. Page 91 had needle-noggins and i speechless because on the low end that tower of debris from the explosion is (if we did the very, very rough math right) THIRTY MILES TALL. Twice as tall as the tallest mountain in the solar system, Olympus Mons! or roughly five and a half times as tall as Mount Everest. On the outside, because we figured its anywhere from 25-30 times taller than the cloud cover, it could be up to thirty seven miles

Over halfway to space on earth.

like.

I know we love the independent plants and all. But Holy Shit. just.

holy shit

Sunday Afternoon Dalin Oaks

I'm an hour and a half late but i've heard about it and also am not looking forward to it.

Anyways get your covid vaccines

Constitution of the united states?

How about

plants

Lets talk about plants

plants are nice

"oldest written constitution still enforced today" THATS AGREED BY MOST HISTORIANS AND ANTHROPOLOGISTS TO NOT BE A GOOD THING BOO

no other party or political group

we get it you studied law

its pretty obvious by the fact that you're miserable all the time

"divinely inspired constitution"

ANYWAYS go watch The Pursuit of Happiness 2006

Maximum freedom for man and woman

accountable for own sins

not right that any man should be in bondage

Slavery is wrong

Wrong for citizens to have no voice in rulers or making of laws

So you're advocating for true democracy i guess?

Constitution must grow and develop to meet changing needs of an advancing world

Women right to vote

Not every supreme court decision is good (im going to interpret this as an anti racist thing and not anti gay marriage. Sorry oaks, you say gay rights now)

No mobs or other groups of people to intimidate or force action

ugh republic

nation and subsidiary states

you do know that not every nation is a conglomeration of smaller nations in a trench coat right?

separation of powers legislative, executive, judiciary

checks and balances

Im a history minor im a history minor im a history minor i hate this i hate this i hate this

colonial charters gauarantees

bill of rights

host nation for restoration of the gospel

Oaks where is your organisation, you're hopping all over the place babe

did you write this the night before it was due and just pick up the nearest book which happened to be an 8th grade history text book?

Loyalty to the constitution, not to any office holder

No, im loyal to AOC and Bernie, and AOC and Bernie only

No branch is dominant over the others, nor prevents the others from their actions

America is a mess

in a trench coat

anyways I got a new plant a few weeks back

His name is marshmallow and hes a succulent and hes trans. And in love with his neighbor Slanty.

Oh right constitution

"current societal trends"

BABE THE FOUNDING OF THE CONSTITUTION SUPPORTED SLAVERY.

Limits on government authority. lets have more of that

"uphold and defend US constitution whereever we live" Non-US saints be liek "and i oop"

snorreeee

exercise influence civilly and peacefully

moderate and unify

Learn and advocate the inspired principals of the constitusnorrrreee

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

political influence exercised by running for office

It doesn't mean much in most countries oaks.

no party platform or political candidate can satisfy all political issues

Government is corrupt, anarchy is the only option and lets support socialism

thats what im getting from this

"Refrain from judging one another for political matters" The existence of many members, myself included, is a political matter. I am very judged for that political matter by other members

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Bees are very important to the environment, but let's not neglect other pollinators
