Bobo save me...... Bobo.... Save me Bobo

[anisohtropy]

the kavetham brainrot is real, I have multiple foreign language tests this week and I’m starting two new courses but instead I’ve been researching architectural styles of the middle east, north africa, and southeast asia to be able to write this akademiya era fic because Kaveh is a genius and a passionate prodigy and I refuse to not write him as such.

after multiple hours of research and a lot of reading, I am now extremely angry and disappointed about how genshin dropped the ball with indo-islamic architecture in the rainforest, it could’ve been so colorful and beautiful and connected to real architecture. but it’s so orientalist in game. ironically the desert is better in terms of architectural adhesion to real cultures. pls ask me about it im going crazy

Something I love about ‘Hikaru’ is how humane ‘he’ is.

Like, yeah, ‘he’ inherited that pure love ‘he’ has for Yoshiki from the real Hikaru’s last wish (either platonic or romantic, probably the real Hikaru did not have enough living time to understand it himself). But despite that, ‘Hikaru’ is not a Yandere kind of character.

‘He’ loves Yoshiki so much, and probably doesn’t know how Yoshiki loved Hikaru just as much from the corner of his mind

And ‘he’ did go out and lost ‘his’ control like a Yandere would, however, what is refreshing about ‘Hikaru’ is that ‘he’ learns.

‘He’ cherises Yoshiki, that’s all there is to it, ‘he’ cherises him for no reason, it’s an unconditional kind of love that ‘he’ has for the other boy (although we will learn the meaning of it at some point). And despite his burning feelings, ‘he’ still has the power to learn ‘his’ place. To accept that Yoshiki doesn’t see ‘him’ as Hikaru and yet to love him still.

*his pained expression when he learns ‘he’ is the reason Yoshiki suffered in silence*

This could be ‘his’ first time being a human, and doesn’t fully know how humans function. But ‘he’s humane enough to put in the effort and learn from his mistakes.

‘His’ love doesn’t make him evil. It makes ‘him’ human.

Heyya sleepy! new follower here!!! i wanted to ask you, what kind of aesthetic that you give vibes from Jade? i would say she is a cottage girl!

Hello!! Welcome to my blog! ✨✨

Jade is a THOUSAND percent a cottage core girl.

Here's Jade's moodboard and here's Jade's seasonal outfits! You can check it out!

Jade is litchrally the cottage core, earthy color palette girl. (She's a florist as well! So that fits)

You will never see her in complete black like Ghost except for missions, nor in neon, pink, red velvet or the really bright colours. She's more to that muted green, blue, and brown warm colours.

Thank you for asking! (❁´◡`❁)

Fucking hell!!!

Coconut crabs REALLY aren’t pissing about!

That is hilariously terrifying to think about. Even with context!

But it’s just a theory.

(A CRAB THEORYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! *is promptly beaten to death with a tyre iron*)

For now at least. Until proven otherwise.

Feel free to reblog.

hi, i was wondering if there was any sort of suonire discord server out there? i’d love to join the sonr community but i despise twitter and tumblr is hard for me to post

yeah it's something i had asked before too (╥△╥`) i did eventually get invited into a friend server for wbk but no it's not really for suonire

there's a twitter group chat that got recently made though, and one of the other mods for suonire week has been planning for a (discord) server for a while! i'll post about it the soonest it goes live ^_^

Hey, since Kur in "our" universe looks like a giant, iridescent, black serpent with a mane of flaming feathers and antlers (amazing design you came up with, btw), and since the Monday universe takes the normal character designs and skews it a bit to the left (Monday-Fisk has horns, Monday-Zak had his hair colors swapped, etc), what would your Monday-Kur look like?

Actually, I believe Monday!Kur would be a jaguar!

The Smoke Mirror is based on the Aztec myth of the 5 suns, which states that the world has been created and destroyed four times already. Each world is defined by which god acted as the sun; the first sun was Tetzcatlipoca, who - maybe because he lost his leg in an earlier myth - did kind of a crappy job. His sun was dim and black.(We know it’s specifically this myth because the game is “beasts of the fifth sun”)

The Smoke Mirror in the show is explicitly found in a temple dedicated to Tetzcatlipoca, and furthermore, one of Tetz'z epithets was The Smoking Mirror, as mirrors in Aztec times were made of obsidian, which is one of the things associated with Tetz. FURTHERfurthermore, Jay Stephens was active on forums around the time of the show's airing, and he confirmed that the Monday universe is not a MIRROR dimension (as in, Monday!Argost would not be a good guy), but rather, a DARKER dimension. It's kept deliberately vague whether the Smoke Mirror LITERALLY leads to an earlier version of the universe, or whether the mirror ALREADY led to a dark and twisted universe and the Aztec five suns myth sprang up around it.

Now, the reason why this means Monday!Kur is a jaguar to me is because Tetzcatlipoca was traditionally BITTER RIVALS with Quetzalcoatl. Quetzalcoatl is a big snake, and Kur is a big snake. (For the record, Quetz was the second sun in the five suns myth, and also the reason Tetz's world ended. In retaliation, Tetz ended Quetz's stint as sun. Now some other guy is the sun and these two are just Around).

Tetzcatlipoca is associated with, and sometimes takes the guise of, a jaguar. Hence, if "our" universe venerates Quetzalcoatl (and he is considered a folk hero), and "our" Kur is a big snake, then it makes sense to me for the Mondays' Kur to be aligned with Tetzcatlipoca, and to therefore be a jaguar.

(And in case you need context on Kur being a big snake - at the time the show was created, the Sumerian word "Kur" was believed to refer to a massive serpent that lived in the Netherworld (think the Greek underworld), therefore making it the first-ever recorded dragon in all of human history. This has since been debunked, as it turns out "kur" is kind of a multi-purpose word meaning - among other things - "mountain," "land," and "netherworld."

THAT ALL BEING SAID, there is actually a very interesting thing in Indo-European mythology, where there's a recurring theme of massive cthonic (of the underworld) serpents being slayed by storm gods. Tiamat and Marduk, Jormungandr and Thor, Yamato-no-Orochi and Susanoo, Typhon and Zeus... the list goes on. This points to all these stories having some sort of shared common ancestor (which we have not yet pinned down), and this idea of the quintessential massive cthonic serpent, father of all monsters, directly opposing the gods, embodying primal forces of chaos, is what Kur in the show is based on even if we now know that the WORD "kur" does not refer to one of these serpents. Neat, right?

Also, the show constantly associates Kur with the Hindu god Shiva, if you want some more symbolism to add to the pile. Kur's Tomb is listed in the Field Guide as the Koh Ker archaeological site, which is a temple in Cambodia dedicated to Shiva, whose remoteness meant it was excluded from remodels other temples in the area got when the religion changed. Also, one of Shiva's epithets is "The Destroyer," which Rani Nagi calls Kur when she's drowning Zak. Also, one of his symbols is a cobra (which happens to be a naga) around his neck, which represents Shiva's position as Lord of the Beasts, and Rani Nagi communicates through cobras. Also, the "divining rod" Fisk's lemurian instincts cause him to create is actually Shiva's trident, which represents trinities, like past/present/future, or creation/preservation/destruction. Just some fun trivia for you that you didn't ask for.)

hai Ori what did you like to watch on TV when you were still in SD.... did you like to watch On The Spot in the evenings... that was so fun (but i usually avoided the horror contents every friday? or every thursday evening? i forgot)

tbh i never liked the On The Spot tv show 😭😭😭 i rarely watch trans7/trans tv too cause i mostly watch things like National Geography because it's fun looking at those animals :3 On The Spot was never for me though

so, my friend di was (metaphorically) divorced last year, right? at the time he was really not in a good place, so like any emotionally distant but well meaning friend, i briefly check up on him occasionally until im sure he's fine. by sending him a bunch of tumblr posts. nothing weird, just one of those advice posts that i think apply to him. until, he started asking what kind of website i was on for finding all of those posts.

ofc i didnt tell him it was from tumblr, but ever since then, i do worry if he made his way to tumblr anyway and accidentally find my posts. what if we hate each other online and didnt know it? what if he saw me posting stuff about our friendship? what if he saw my deranged fandom posts? i would die for real! i would die for real!

just tried the spanish course on duolingo and it really is amazing how different the bahasa indonesia & spanish courses are. for one, you guys have speaking lessons and stories you can check out?? the favouritism smh /j

being serious for a second, the speaking lessons really do make a difference. i think it's seriously a shame that the indonesian one doesn't have them, because they're so fun and it makes you really listen to any differences in what the person is saying and how you differ. it's really good to be constantly speaking the language as well, and it quickly destroyed any nervousness i might have made doing it just bc i was constantly doing it. i think it would be super cool if duolingo would get around to it in the future, but i think the indo course is still in development
