Killers of the Flower Moon: Scorsese's Latest Deconstruction of American Violence

Scorsese's latest is another lengthy deconstruction of systemic American vioelnce, this time centered around the killings of Osage tribal members who suddenly became very wealthy. It is exquisite, and should be seen on the biggest screen possible.

“When oil is discovered in 1920s Oklahoma under Osage Nation land, the Osage people are murdered one by one – until the FBI steps in to unravel the mystery” reads most synopses of Killers of the Flower Moon, Martin Scorsese’s latest deconstruction of the foundational violence creating modern American life. However, that is only the broadest history covered by the film and paints a deceptive…

Hello <33 I'm trying to come up with a title for my fluff self-insert, but I'd like some better ideas for a title. Basically it's about curiosity and the inexperienced touching of another you're attracted to, a fiery type of heat as they fall in love with the sanctity in each other's trust and clothed adoration.

If you can give me a list of poetic phrases and words, even the more simple to the uncommon ones, that'd be great :D

Hi! Thanks for sharing a snippet of your story with me <3 Here are some words/phrases related to curiosity, coming-of-age & youthful passionate love:

Be soft on someone - to love someone or like someone very much

Besotted - to be completely in love with someone and always thinking of them

Butter wouldn't melt in someone's mouth - used when someone looks as if they would never do anything wrong, although you feel they might

Carry a torch for [someone] - to be in love with someone

Ephebic - relating to or like an ephebe (i.e., a young man, especially in Ancient Greece, or a young person who is not yet a fully grown adult)

Ephemerality - the quality or state of lasting only for a short time

Estival - relating to or typical of summer

Indian summer - a period of warm weather happening in the fall when you expect cooler weather

Look at/see something through rose-coloured/rose-tinted glasses - to see only the pleasant things about a situation and not notice the things that are unpleasant

Novitiate - the period or state of being a novice

Red-letter day - a special, happy, and important day that you will always remember

Road to Damascus - your road to Damascus is an experience you have that you consider to be very important and that changes your life

Saturnalia - an ancient Roman celebration that happened on December 19; a party where people behave in an uncontrolled way

Spring beauty - one of several small, wild plants, originally from North America, that have green leaves and small pink or white flowers in the early spring

Spring fever - a feeling of excitement because the weather suddenly becomes warmer in spring

Tenderfoot - an inexperienced beginner; novice

Vernal - relating to or happening in the spring

Volte-face - a sudden change from one set of beliefs or plan of action to the opposite

Worship the ground someone walks on - to love and admire someone very much

Xanadu - a very impressive and beautiful place, or a place that is perfect

Perhaps some Victorian flower language may inspire you:

Abatina - fickleness

Aster - love, daintiness

Camellia (red) - flame in one's heart

Carnation (white) - innocence, pure love, sweet love

Crocus (spring) - cheerfulness, youthful gladness

Daffodil - regard, unequalled love

Daisy - innocence, loyal love, "I’ll never tell"

Larkspur - open heart, levity, lightness, fickleness

Lilac - joy of youth

Rose (white) - innocence, heavenly, "I’m worthy of you"

I hope you find the right word or phrase here. If not, perhaps this list could inspire you to create the perfect title—incorporate characters' names, places from your story, do a bit of word play etc etc :)

This is part two of September 5th birth flowers!

I did only aster the first time because i couldn't fit the two plants in one post it will be too long..

Today we'll be talking about the 'morning glory'

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

(Don't know who i should put here specifically so heres both :P)

Have you ever been amazed by the stunning beauty of morning glory flowers and curious about morning glory flower meaning? You're going to learn a lot about these beautiful flowers today, so you're in luck. Get ready for the History beginnings, symbolic meanings, and beautiful types of morning glory flowers. Let's figure out what these beautiful flowers are trying to say with each leaf!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

History

Morning glories were greatly respected by the ancient Mayans, Aztecs and Native American tribes of Mexico for the spiritual properties they were believed to possess. The seeds were used for vision quests and to communicate with the dead because of their psychoactive properties.

The Aztecs believed that plants had spirits and certain plants, like peyote, salviaand morning glory, had special spirits. Similarly, the Chental and Mazatec Indian tribes believed that a highly evolved spirit lived in morning glories.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Morning glory as a symbol of human resilience and mortality

Morning glory is a somewhat tragic flower, blooming and “dying” all in one day. It grows and thrives in harsh conditions, and always rises again in the morning.

For these reasons, morning glory has become a pretty poetic symbol of human resilience and the fleeting nature of this life.

The different states of the morning glory flower are also said to represent the various stages of human life. In morning bud they represent youth, in full bloom at daytime they represent adulthood and as they wilt in the evenings, they represent the later stages of life. Sometimes, they even represent an unyielding love that can overcome all challenges, and at other times they’ve been known to symbolise unrequited love.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Morning glory meanings by colour

As with all flowers, morning glories can have different symbolic meanings depending on their colour.

White morning glories are symbols of purity and innocence, as is the case with many white blooms.

Pink morning glories symbolise love and gratitude, while red morning glories symbolise deep and passionate love.

Like many purple flowers, purple morning glory symbolises royalty, while blue morning glory symbolises honesty, respect and trust.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Meaning and Symbolism

The symbolic meaning of the morning glory holds great significance in various cultures, representing different aspects such as love, purity, mourning, spirituality, fleeting mortality. In some Asian cultures, it is associated with the idea of rebirth and resurrection due to its ability to bloom anew each morning.

Morning glories in Japanese (Asagao – 朝顔) is a symbol of new beginnings and the start of a new day. They are often associated with a renewed sense of hope and a fresh start.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

And there you have it, i think thats everything i can provide.

This one isn't necessarily associated with akechi or nendou's dad (i forgot his name) since they share the same birth-day, i feel like this one fits nendou's dad more but there's also some aspects that is similar to touma but then again they share the same month and day so it should make sense why.

Who do you think it fits more?

Rise of the Guardians Wedding ❄️✨🎄🐇🦷

Pinterest Board

Setting: There’s a lot of ways you cab go with this, especially depending on the time of year. But if you’re near a location with snow, that’s a prime spot. A winter wonderland forest gives perfect Jack Frost energy.

Decorations: This is an eclectic style, because each of the Guardians was inspired by different cultures. I would personally lean into the detailed and rich influence of Russian and Indian weddings - focusing heavily on white, gold, and ice blue with pops of jewel tones (red for North, green for Aster, and purple for Toothiana). Pull winter foliage (pine garlands and wood) with gold figurines of snowflakes, bunnies, sleighs, and hummingbirds.

Entertainment: I think there’s some fun to be had here with mixing traditions from different holidays, such as an Easter egg hunt and opening Christmas poppers. You could put together a “tooth memory quiz” or a game based on finding teeth under a pillow. For Sandy, you could use kinetic sand to let your younger guests shape and build their dreams.

Food: Pull your favorite foods from around the world! Bring in some hot cocoa, tropical fruit, curry, Russian walnut cookies, and other treats that bring the Guardians to mind.

The vibe is celebrating both your childhood whimsies and your hopes for your future with your loved ones!

September Midnight

by Sara Teasdale

Art by Hannah Willow

Lyric night of the lingering Indian Summer,

Shadowy fields that are scentless but full of singing,

Never a bird, but the passionless chant of insects,

Ceaseless, insistent.

The grasshopper’s horn, and far-off, high in the maples,

The wheel of a locust leisurely grinding the silence

Under a moon waning and worn, broken,

Tired with summer.

Let me remember you, voices of little insects,

Weeds in the moonlight, fields that are tangled with asters,

Let me remember, soon will the winter be on us,

Snow-hushed and heavy.

Over my soul murmur your mute benediction,

While I gaze, O fields that rest after harvest,

As those who part look long in the eyes they lean to,

Lest they forget them.

The Indian system of the nakṣatras (Pahl. xvurdag) with 27 and 28 “asterisms” is similarly attested in Iranian sources. In Ir.Bd II, we find a list of 27 xvurdag; they are generally referred to as the “lunar stations”, with each of them measuring 13° 20'…

With the start of the seventh millennium of the gumēzišn, i.e., the beginning of ‘the period of mixture’ (Ahreman’s assault unto the primordial good creation), the “chiliadic domination” (hazārag xvadāyīh) was given to the Balance (IrBd. V(B).15-17), the sign that represented “the dejection of the dejections” (Pahl. šēbān šēb = Gk. tapeínōma tapeínōmatōn) for the Sun — the astrologically worst place of the Zodiac.

Why? Well, as pictured above, the Balance contains the place of exaltation of Saturn (Kēvān), the most dangerous planetary demon of the heavens, who thus had become the lord of that millennium.

Notes:

IrBd. = Iranian (Greater) Bundahišn.

Pahl. = Pahlavi (Middle Persian).

Gk. = Greek.
