#its: the phoenix and other early birds

[diejager]

could you maybe do more of the Phoenix series or is that discontinued? But if you're still working on it can you maybe do something like monster TF 141 use hunter as a heater? Ik if it doesn't make any sense but like monster TF 141 are on a mission and its horribly cold and they're actually cold so hunter just walks up and turns into a phoenix? and just starts heating up the room 141 is in. idk I just have had this idea in my head for a while

Cw: human heating, tell me if I missed any. Note: Nope! It’s still on going, well, at least the original Au of the Phoenix hybrid!reader spinoff.

“I’ll have a bloody word with the tosser who sent us here,” Soap hissed, body wracked with tremors as he breathed into his mittened hands, hoping that the small bit of heat would warm him just a bit more than the failing heating system of their Siberian  safehouse.

They had planed to rest and warm up their temporary residence while Price took Ghost and you to survey the area, all warmly covered but mostly immune to such cold temperature. A dragon rarely needed anything other than the beating fire in their heart, kindled and powerful; a wraith, long since dead, had no worry about feeling cold or warm, only hunger and anger; and a phoenix, whose body was stuck in a perpetual cycle of life and death, had no fear of being cold when they were an embodiment of life’s fire. 

It was only natural that Price took the only people who could withstand the harshness of Siberia for a long and careful inspection when the others would freeze and shake in their thick boots and warm coats. They safehouse looked old, surfaces covered in a thin layer of dust, shelves filled with canned food - both expired and unexpired- and walls and floors as frozen as the loud winds blowing against the thick windows. It wasn’t much of a surprise that something would malfunction, the soviet era building left to appear rotten and forgotten to fit it’s intended use, and it seemed to lack any sort of upkeep. 

“We’re freezing our arses off in here!” Soap growled out, leaning closer to Gaz’s side to steal more warmth from under his wing, the soft feathers all ruffled, “Can’t even-”

Crunch

The two perked up, hands immediately reaching for their weapons, bodies tense and ready for a fire fight until your head popped in, huffing about the melted snow soaking your clothes. They jumped to their feet, running to your side for a lick of warmth that oozed off your skin. You froze at the grabbing hands, pulling you to the cold sofa and pushed under a mass of groaning and moaning bodies, happily soaking in your fire.

“Let me- ” you squirmed between them, shuffling out from under them to stretch your arms and back.

The four watched your neck crack with a wince, flames erupting from your feet, wild and bright embers licking at your skin until it engulfed you in a fiery blaze. It was both too hot to touch and too strong to approach, a fire that would threaten to burn if they touched you. It worked to protect you from an early death while you shifted into the majestic bird you were, a gentle flame in the form of orange and yellow feathers, softer than any silk and warmer than any suns. 

In your place stood a phoenix, lashes fluttering while your flapped your wings, stretched backwards to scratch the itch from the lack of use. You cooed, preening under their awed expressions before you flew back in your prior position, body heat growing hotter and hotter, strong enough to warm up the entire room. 

“Thank you, Hunter,” Gaz smiled at you, a sweet and grateful grin that made your feathers shyly ruffle up.

[the-library-of-theories]

So I’d like to get a theory out that I’ve been thinking of for a long while regarding q!Philza and today’s stream seems to be heading into that direction.

CW: Death talk, Spoiler for today’s stream

/rp

Let’s start with evidence before I reveal the theory.

Philza had said and confirmed that his Angel of Death role is relevant and the only one on the whole island who is suppose to know is his son, Cheyanne. No one should know about this besides him.

So why have all this death topic/relevant come up?

We have Bonnie the skeleton horse come around lately and confirms that Tallulah and Cheyanne have relations to death. Tallulah as a guide and Cheyanne as an old ancient king.

When things begin for q!Philza, it was the birdhouse arc. There he is refereed to as the “Crow” or “the Crowfather”, which is a first as he has been referred to as Philza for the longest… so why the sudden change?

Continuing, he is lead on a small journey and suddenly he is trapped by Cucurucho… but could it really be Cucurucho? Since then he was “asleep” for a week, dreaming about his hardcore world. When he comes back, unlike the locked and blocked door, its open and a trail of flowers leads him to… Cucurucho? To me, it doesn’t feel right. Why would Cucurucho lock him up and suddenly let him go? Sure it could be to mess with him, but something doesn’t add up.

Since then, he’s been having hallucination/derealization problems. Can’t tell if he’s awake or if anything is real. Birds are appearing to him whether it’d be in a cage or freed. Birds are given to Phil… like a gift…. And when the updates refer to Phil, it is now as Crowfather.

Going on, his home is constantly invaded by the dark blocks that is spreading throughout the SMP, which to take note, no one else has experience any dark blocks within their home besides from Phil.

Also to keep in mind, the black structures have been appear and if you look at them in a certain angle, they look like pyramids… and what is related to pyramids? Sacrifice.

In the Mexican culture (one of the tribes that reside in Mexico, I can’t remember what they were called) Temples/Pyramids were often used to hold ceremonies… sometimes sacrifices.

Not only that but the holiday, Day of the Dead, happens recently which also announces their departure from Egg Island… to Purgatory. Another thing related to death. There an eye tells what the members must do and of all of the members, Phil is the one to deny the rules for the longest before he eventually fell into his old ways… the angel was released.

And what does the updates call Phil…

“The Angel of Death may not be able to use his wings, but gravity has always been his friend; Phil has Fit in his clutches.”

They know… so what does that mean for Phil?

Well with today, we saw that q!Quackity escaped and sees what Egg Island has become. Not only that but he is suddenly killed off by Evilrucho. Why? Why am I saying this?

q!Quackity had a different ticket than the others. Granted that q!ElQuackity took it, it was still Quackity’s. And he is killed off.

Who else has different tickets?

Slime, Wilbur, Vegetta, and Philza.

I am saying, Philza could possibly be targeted as well as the others… but think… if any of the groups aside from the members of the island, gets their hands on Philza… they got control of death.

What makes this worse is that an entity has been contacting Philza. Saying that it “misses” him (his dark wings that darken the sky and his loud caw {metaphorical} is heard from afar) and that it’ll guide him when the time will come.

Now you can say it could be a positive outcome and its Bonnie the skele-horse and possibly Mumza… but the worst case senecio is Evilrucho who ended Quackity’s life early.

I could be wanting… “his” angel. What’s worse?

The Crow is also known as the “Sunbird” which can be used as another name for the Phoenix. Not only that but with Quackity’s death, comes… canon lives. And with death comes the angel.

I feel like Evilrucho is trying to get Philza at his weakest and turn him onto it’s side… it said it wanted freedom… but what does it require to be free?

Also some side notes:

In the maze, Evilrucho was the one to lead the Pendejo Trio to the spinning wheel. To which it “landed” on Cheyanne’s “number?” Which shows later when the rest goes into the maze that Cheyanne’s duck floatie is the only one in the glass dome, possibly hinting at what I am trying to get to.

Tallulah and Cheyanne are the only ones (aside from Leo) to contact their parent.

Philza has been putting a huge emphasis on his wings lately. (Possibly gets them back?)

Like sons like daughter like father, Philza’s family is known for heavy angst. So what is to say that he won’t have heavy angst for his character~

THE ORIGINS OF BUDGIE CITY

Welcome to this informational article where I will be explaining what exactly this "Budgie City" is, where it came from, and in which direction it will be going. So, sit down comfortably - there are some interesting things waiting ahead of you! If you are interested in the lore, visit this article.

What exactly is "Budgie City"?

It is a fictional world that I am actively developing. At the moment, I’m in the process of writing it in the form of a paper draft. I write long texts by hand, and it seems to me that spelling out each letter, unlike typing, helps to approach the composition of sentences more thoughtfully, and to more successfully avoid strange and crooked constructions that will then have to be rewritten and corrected. It is far from the final, but I want to warm up people's interest in this world before the release of a full-fledged work, which is what I am doing now. I will not publish too many pieces of text until I have finished the story completely (though I probably will show some sneak-peeks). For now the content on "Budgie City" is mostly limited to drawings — concepts, sketches and character designs. Gradually, I've been starting to bring this topic to my YouTube channel in order to introduce the setting and concept to my viewers.

You may have seen my first video of Budgie City since 2014, which I have released quite recently — “I am not insane”, a video that focuses on one of the secondary conflicts of the story.

Where did this concept even come from?

It's quite a long story, and it's funny that this year is the ten year anniversary of me registering on the forum called "Budgie City". Yes, it all started with a regular internet forum — a by now almost extinct site format, which in the early 2000s and until about 2016-17 was the main place for interest groups on the internet. Now this has moved almost completely to social media, but before almost any hobby or interest had its own forum with different sections and topics. It saddens me a little that the golden age of forums has already passed.

In 2012, for the New Year, my parents bought me my first budgie — a classic green one, and I named him Gesha. At that time, I was not a regular "user" of the Internet yet. I only started to comprehend the vastness of the virtual network a few months later, and at first it leaned purely on me viewing memes in Google pictures and all sorts of videos on YouTube.

But in the spring of 2013, I discovered these wonderful things known as forums. And it was that point in time when I, having had a budgie with me for a year, decided to find a forum thematically fitting. Upon the request from my country, Google led me straight to the “Budgie City” forum.

The topics on there were something like rooms in a big house. The users randomly surfed through them and followed each other's daily lives. Therefore, Budgie City did actually feel really like being in a virtual society where everyone knows each other. I was getting used to the frequent people, getting to know each person individually. I went to their topics to write comments and answers, they wrote in mine. That's how we existed as this cozy club of interests.

There is an interesting thing with almost every child that is on the Internet — no matter where, in which community — a person with the admin/moder status is perceived as an absolute authority, any response from which causes awe and delight. And there were certain, more active and sociable admins in Budgie City — Anya under the nickname "Phoenix Bird" and Olga under the nickname "Olivka". The "Phoenix Bird" nickname spoke for itself — the image of a large bird of fire that walks around the city and receives admiring glances from everyone, was drawn in my head almost instantly. Olivka didn't have an image yet; I started turning her into a character much later.

Phoenix and Olivka in their modern designs (2022)

In the early summer of 2014, I read "Warrior Cats", and that’s where the whole story took off. I suddenly felt like I should become a writer too and write my own book. And 12-year-old me, who was spending 80% of my online traffic on the forum, decided to write a story, turning part of the admin staff and the budgies of familiar forum members into their own characters. Phoenix and Olivka turned into birds, the latter in particular acquired an image in the form of a wompoo fruit dove with olive-tinged wings, the budgies of the forum were also turned into their respective characters: Gesha and Yasha (mine); Glasha and Gosha (Hoatzin); Clementine, Jack, Fenya, Nira, Mouse, Castorka, Mithril and Small (Phoenix); Kuzya (Dmitriy68), Milana (Radujniy), Raisin (yyna) and others.

Sections of the forum have turned into parts of the city — the restaurant, the mayor's office, the registry office and nursery, and suburbs with parrots of other species, located on trees surrounding baobabs.

This is how the novel of the same name with the slogan "Feathered Metropolis" was born from the "Budgie City" forum. I posted it in its own topic, had about a dozen readers and, judging by the reviews, they all really liked reading the story. Although, looking back at the writing now... I wouldn't call it something breathtaking. Rather the opposite. But then again, I am now judging from the perspective of a third-year animation director student, and not the fifth grader I was at that time.

A couple of my original illustrations from 2014

The story was successfully brought to an end in about seven months, and after a while I started writing a sequel — however, the central conflict wasn’t thought out the slightest, so the plot quickly crumbled and was abandoned after several chapters.

Now the original text is lost in the vastness of the web — somewhere there is a piece of the prologue, somewhere even a couple of chapters. But the full version no longer exists — it was published only on the forum, and the said forum, unfortunately was — somewhere around 2019 — ruthlessly deleted from the Internet due to the desolation. All that's left of it are snapshots in the Wayback Machine.

Rewriting from the old version into a new one

In 2017, three years later, I made an attempt to rewrite "Budgie City" from scratch — leaving only the main conflict, the structure of the world, and the set of characters the same, to write a new text out of this "skeleton". Progress did not go beyond the prologue and the first chapter however, and rewriting was abandoned.

The same story with 2019 — a couple of pages, that’s all.

Two artworks from 2019

The next approach took till early 2021 to happen, when the original story turned almost six and a half years old. At that time I was already in the middle of my first year of animation directing at SPbGIKiT (Saint Petersburg State Institute of Film and Television). I wrote the prologue and part of the first chapter and went to proudly tell our master Galina Voropai about my "really cool" world. Galina interrupted me in the middle of the impromptu presentation, after which followed a forty-minute roast, thoroughly and in detail explaining that the "Budgie City" in its concept is a piece of junk that does not have the right to exist in its current form. And all this was in the presence of my classmates in the workshop. I gave up trying to defend myself halfway through, and when it was all over, I got up, quietly thanked Galina for a detailed objective analysis of the shortcomings of my project, went down to the first floor, huddled in a bathroom stall, and burst into tears.

It was the first (and yet the only) time in my life where I was literally crying over my work, and the girls from senior courses came to my howls, and we sat together on the windowsill of a public toilet. I was all red, shaking, and dropping snot, as they tried to calm me down.

(my mental state that day)

After that, I did not return to those written several pages for about a year and a half. I began to doubt whether I should continue at all or if it would just be a waste of time.

After the roast from the master, I went through all five stages of grief:

Yes, that was tough. But after so much time, I was finally able to evaluate the message of this scolding with a cool head and understand that most of the comments were actually really helpful - the conflict and the world did require a lot more careful study and rework. With the next approach, I wrote out all the conflicts, all the character motivations, and made a proper plan. And since the end of last autumn, I have returned to writing. Now I know where the story will begin, where it will head, and how it will end. All the actions performed by the heroes are finally based in actual logic. And, although Galina will not see the final result (she sadly passed away at the end of 2021), I hope that the new version will be one that she would have approved of.

A small FAQ:

Q: When will the book be released?

A: I don't want to make any promises as of now, because writing is a rather spontaneous and uneven process. I write more when I am inspired, and inspiration is impossible to predict. So the answer is simple — it will come out when it's finished :D

Q: Will it be released electronically or in a printed book form? Will I have to pay for reading it?

A: I plan to release the final version "Budgie City" in the same way as the old one — in open access, so that everyone can read it at any time. I will not charge money for reading the electronic version, but if there will be a demand for physical copies, I may release a small print run, which will cost money for those who want to get a copy. But it's a little early to think about that anyway.

Q: How does the world in Budgie City work? How do they live? What is the main conflict of the story?

A: All of this you can find out in this article!

Q: Where can I find more content to this world and story?

A: On this very blog or on my YouTube channel

I hope this article was helpful and informative enough for you to know where "Budgie City" comes from and in which direction it is currently heading. Thank you for reading!

For #Feathersday: Some selections from the Kingfisher Headdresses from China exhibition at Art Institute of Chicago showcasing tian-tsui, the traditional Chinese fine art of using the highly prized iridescent blue feathers of regional Kingfisher species (Alcedinidae).

Lots more pieces (including smaller hairpins & earrings) on display at the exhibition, open through May 2023.

It is also important to note that the demand for feathers for tian-tsui nearly drove kingfishers to extinction in China in the early 20th centry, with the last feather factory closing in 1933. But there are now some contemporary artists reviving the craft who make a point of using ethically sourced feathers (collected from molt etc).

1 Cap (清朝 点翠头饰） China, Qing dynasty (1644-1912), 18th-19th century Gold wire, kingfisher feathers, amber, coral, jadeite, ivory, glass, silk Exceptional workmanship and the brilliant color of the kingfisher feathers make this an outstanding example of a woman's headdress. At the center, a phoenix with a peacock-like tail is flanked by a pair of dragons. Stacked above the phoenix are a large bat studded with a jadeite gem and another executed in fine filigree. Gourds, symbolizing the wish for multiple offspring, appear on the sides and suggest that this cap may have been worn by a young woman.

2 Headdress (清朝 点翠头饰） China, Qing dynasty (1644-1912), 19th century Silk-covered lattice, kingfisher feathers, gilt bronze, jadeite, coral, amethyst, rose quartz, and carnelian The central roundel on this headdress features a butterfly with jadeite wings and a coral body while those on either side contain rose-quartz flowers and narrow-waisted bottle gourds, symbols of fertility. Below the butterfly, two bat-like creatures with long antennae and quartz bodies are flanked by gourds. Jade-petal flowers and other plant motifs fill the top register.

3 Headdress (清朝 点翠头饰） China, Qing dynasty (1644-1912), 19th century Kingfisher feathers, gilt bronze, pearls, garnets. rose quartz, jadeite, and glass, applied to a silk-wrapped wickerwork trellis The numerous stylized creatures that adorn this headdress are bats. They represent a motif favored in Chinese art because the Chinese word for "bat" (fu) sounds similar to that for good fortune. The wings of the large bats are fashioned with seed pearls, and red agate cameos indicate the eyes and bodies of the smaller ones. Their long antennae end in pearls, which would quiver with the slightest movement when the headdress was worn. The strings of pearls hanging from the lower rim form a veil.

4 Tiara (清朝 点翠头饰) China, Qing dynasty (1644-1912), 19th century Kingfisher feathers on silver gilt, jadeite, carnelian, coral, and ivory In Chinese culture dragons are powerful but benevolent creatures, and the ones that decorate the top of this tiara chase a central flaming pearl- a combination that probably expresses the hopes for a happy marriage. Around the perimeter, stylized characters for longevity (show) and small figures of immortals symbolize a further wish for long life. On the inner rim, the eight phoenixes facing downward are also talismans for good fortune.

5 Tiara (清朝 点翠头饰) China, Qing dynasty (1644-1912), 19th century Kingfisher feathers on gold and gilt bronze, agate, and lapis lazuli At the top of this tiara, a pair of dragons chase a flaming pearl, a motif expressing hopes for a happy marriage. Below them a pavilion probably represents a paradise of immortals, and still farther down are two goldfish, symbolizing offspring and good fortune. The bottom is composed of a row of birds facing downwards, each holding in its beak a string of pearls suspending L-shaped musical chimes. The Chinese word for chime, qing, is similar to that for celebration.

6 Opera Costume Headdress (民国 点翠头饰） China, first half of 20th century Kingfisher feathers, gilt bronze, faux pearls, and glass This headdress teems with symbols of good fortune. The design centers on a large tree peony and below it, a pair of guardian lions flank a flaming pearl. The next row down features red-headed phoenixes and a dragon. A pair of leaping fish--symbolizing a successful career and abundant offspring- appear above the peony. At the top is a pavilion, perhaps representing a paradise of immortals. More details appear amidst the primary designs: bats and butterflies fluttering their wings and Chinese characters with meanings such as "wealth," "longevity," "nobility," and "glory," collectively imbuing the headdress with an air of celebration.

7 Opera Costume Headdress (民国 点翠头饰) China, Possibly Guangxi province, early 20th century Gilt bronze, kingfisher feathers, pearls, coral, silk thread, and glass Together with phoenixes, mandarin ducks, and bats, four large clamshells decorate this headdress. Each clamshell contains a pearl that is visible only from the side or the top. Contemporary audiences would likely have noticed many pearls dotting the headdress, though, and associated them with the clamshells' contents. In addition to wealth, the pearls probably symbolize a wish for a happy marriage and many offspring.

The only book I know about (in English) about tian-tsui feather art is this one:

Kingfisher Blue: Treasures of an Ancient Chinese Art by Beverley Jackson (2001)

PS - kingfisher feathers aren't really blue - and in fact no bird feathers are known to have "true blue" pigmentation! It's all structural color, just a trick of the light fooling our eyes. :) (Try taking a single "blue" feather and backlighting it sometime to see for yourself!)

双睛（そうせい）は、中国に伝わる伝説の鳥。

先知 The Prophet 《論法律》 On Laws By 紀伯倫 Kahlil Gibran (Lebanese-American, 1883-1931)

Then a lawyer said, But what of our Laws,

master?

    And he answered:

    You delight in laying down laws,

    Yet you delight more in breaking them.

    Like children playing by the ocean who

build sand-towers with constancy and then

destroy them with laughter.

    But while you build your sand-towers the

ocean brings more sand to the shore,

    And when you destroy them the ocean

laughs with you.

    Verily the ocean laughs always with the

innocent.

    But what of those to whom life is not an

ocean, and man-made laws are not sand-

towers,

    But to whom life is a rock, and the law

a chisel with which they would carve it in

their own likeness?

    What of the cripple who hates dancers?

    What of the ox who loves his yoke and

deems the elk and deer of the forest

stray and vagrant things?

    What of the old serpent who cannot

shed his skin, and calls all others naked

and shameless?

    And of him who comes early to the

wedding-feast, and when over-fed and tired

goes his way saying that all feasts are

violation and all feasters lawbreakers?

    What shall I say of these save that they

too stand in the sunlight, but with their

backs to the sun?

    They see only their shadows, and their

shadows are their laws.

    And what is the sun to them but a caster

of shadows?

    And what is it to acknowledge the laws

but to stoop down and trace their shadows

upon the earth?

    But you who walk facing the sun, what

images drawn on the earth can hold you?

    You who travel with the wind, what

weather-vane shall direct your course?

    What man’s law shall bind you if you

break your yoke but upon no man's prison

door?

    What laws shall you fear if you dance

but stumble against no man’s iron chains?

    And who is he that shall bring you to

judgment if you tear off your garment yet

leave it in no man’s path?

    People of Orphalese, you can muffle the

drum, and you can loosen the strings of the

lyre, but who shall command the skylark

not to sing? 

然後，一位律師說，但我們的法律是怎樣的呢，大師？

他答道：

　你們樂於立法，

　但更樂於犯法。

　如同海邊玩耍的孩子，不斷地堆沙塔，再笑著將它們毀掉。

　不過當你們築沙塔時，大海又將更多的沙子推到岸上，

    而你們摧毀沙塔時，大海又與你們一同歡笑。

　的確，大海總是���天真無邪的人一塊兒同樂。

可是對那些既不把生命看做大海，也不把人制定的法律視為沙塔的人，又當如何呢？

對那些把生命看做石頭, 將法律視為鑿子能在石頭上雕出自己形象的人又當如何呢？　

對憎惡舞者的瘸子，能怎樣 ？

對喜歡牛軛，甚至把林中麋鹿視為迷途者和流浪的牛崽們，又能怎樣呢？

對年邁卻無力蛻皮的老蛇，卻把��己以外赤裸的人都認作不知羞恥， 又該如何呢 ？

對早赴婚宴、飽餐離去卻聲稱 "一切筵席都是對法律的褻瀆、所有賓客都是罪犯"的人，該如何呢？　

對於這等人，除了說他們站在太陽下卻背對太陽之外，我還能說什麼呢？

　他們只看到自己的影子，這影子就是他們的法律。

　對他們來說，太陽除了投影者外還能是什麼呢？

　莫非承認法律只不過是彎著腰跟著找尋自己在地上的影子？

　倘若你們面向太陽行走，投射在大地上的陰影能將你們羈絆嗎？

　倘若你們乘風而行，什麼樣的風向標能為你們指示方向？

　倘若你們不在任何的囚門上砸碎自己的枷鎖，還有什麼樣的律法能將你們束縛呢？

　倘若你們縱情狂歡而不觸碰任何人的鎖鍊，又有什麼法律會令你們害怕呢？

　倘若你們扯下衣衫，卻不把它丟在其他人的路上，誰又能把你們帶上法庭呢？

　奧法利斯城的人們啊，你們可以掩蓋鼓聲，鬆開琴弦，

    但誰又能夠下令禁止雲雀歌唱？

[toadeyes-miqote]

Miqo'te are and Miqo'te do

Would Hrothgals come and fantasia over you? Or wiggle your ears and tail, a Miqo’te stay? When you’re Gridanian, Archer and Adder There are more females, fuzzy memory this be based Same thing with MenMiq, some are post-EW interactions When this become a Jellicle song?

Looking back before Dawntrail hits. Is long with a mix of timeline, post-EW and NG+ pics. If you don’t see them, either I don’t have pics or hadn’t met/unlock them or forgot.

Event Miqo'te and the four/five(?) Miq'ttens are left out of this. Miq'tten would get their own piece for lols.

ARR

Most if not all the Miqo'te women are belong to ARR and are in Gridania and Limsa. Does Ul'Dah see them as being closer to beasts? What about Hrothgar?

A Realm Reborn

Leih Aliapoh was Hylnyan’s mentor and everything was Moon Miqo’te from here. There’s at least two more Miqo’te hanging around the guild. Her Archer quest is linked to Pawah Mujuuk of the Coeurlclaws

Miah Molkot, Took a bit of her lore for Hylnyan since they both from North Shrouds. Skirmishes with the birdmen and all. Do her quest line(Hostages of Fortune), she’s a birding cat like Hylnyan.

Do Delivery Moogle quest, The Past Is a Story We Never Tell is about the Lizeh sisters and Coeurl Claw women and the way they are treated. It triggers a Coeurl King fight (FATE not FATE?). I don’t have the Coeurlclaw women pics. Was still new and the notion of timelines diversion from Meteor (aka follow cinematic jobs) and duty trust addon accidental gaslighting hadn’t hit me yet.

Una Tayuun and here I was thinking we might have a quest to get her memories back. Cat distribution system is active in the Scions company(technically two males and three female excluding Miqo'te WoL ).

Forgotten spring Miqo’te women and their skirmishes with the Amalj’aa and tied into Amalj’aa tribal with Loonh Gar.

I remember J’moldva from the Blacksmith questline (her of the groovy red shades). And then to see her pop up with Arevnvald and V’mah Tia, it be like squee after how J Tribe were name dropping her the whole time Hylnyan was questing around Ala Ghiri. Totally fine with Hellfire Phoenix senpai being DPS trust in Skallac trust run as she has Ala Mhigan ties as well.

If its not obvious enough I adore Commander Rhiki for no reason other than her design. And that she’s a Triple Triad buddy

Heavensward

In another life Hylnyan could had been Renda-Rae. I kinda end up thinking that she could Jehantel’s shard since her early glory days of the hunt mark seeking and losing her team sounded like him.

It will always be funny that Widargelt’s three main disciples and one antagonist are Miqo’te. The cat distribution system favours this man.

Mujih Mewrilah, Botany quest journalist despawned while her Ivalice sister remained in Kugane. The Raven journalists do be wearing uniforms like Events Miqo'te Kipih Jakkya. All Saints' Wake 2024 edition.

Q'yantaa of Tailfeathers questline I did because Hylnyan was suppose to eventually go to Idyllshire with her mate to start a new life pre ARR. And treating Tailfeathers as a rest stop to learn about their surroundings and offer their skills is a thing they would do.

Zhloe and the Custom Delivery crew are all in Metian Gear until further notice

Stormblood

M’naago and the M tribe folks/related FATEs. Something about how Hylnyan’s footprint in the Ala Mhigo regions was rather small and that most Miqo’te tribes and resistance folks are more aware of her military involvement than her WoLness (much notes about Hylnyan’s area of influence being region based later). While common folks sees her as just another hunting Miqo’te.

J'olhmym, J'olhmym, J'olhmym. M'zhet thinks you're the one for him~~~ Of tribal quest. Vaguely recall J tribe in FATEs / side quests and there were various NPCs namedropping J’moldva in the Ala Ghiri region. That one questline in MSQ involving an Garlean mayor/captain(Baut) of Ala Ghiri

Shadowbringers

Qeshi-Rae aka Hylnyan’s “twin”(looks and personality) was already wearing this hairstyle before Claudien. Facet of Gathering was a post EW followup quest series for me.

It felt like there were more male Mystel roles in ShB and I’m very likely forgetting Crystarium staff and Kholusians somehow

I have not unlock Dancer

Endwalker

Very likely forgetting Sharlayan folks in Labyrinthos (sorry Hamlet and Ragnarok crew) for not standing out somehow. Non Miqo’te NPCs seems to ping my radar more this expac

Bonus

Fray when you’re a Miqo’te too.

The nameless young lady in Haurchefant’s office seems to be one of the rare Miqo’te in snowy place. Unless there are more and I can’t find them

What do you mean Alliance Grand Melee Adder isn’t Tyoh Moui?

Only doing Miqo'te since Hylnyan Miqo'te.

have you done reviews for ho-oh and lugia? not seperately, but as a pair (if that makes sense)

(I'm not sure what you mean by pair, but I already did Lugia over here so I'll do Ho-Oh for this one):

I gotta admit, I was always more of a Lugia person when it comes to these two. Ho-Oh's fine overall, but for whatever reason I've always found it a bit forgettable in terms of legendaries; the most interesting thing about it is something regarding other Pokemon (specially, it resurrecting the legendary beasts).

Theme-wise, it actually does have a good one. It's based off of the the Chinese fenghuang, sometimes grouped with a western phoenix even though it's not really the same. To quote Bulbapedia:

Ho-Oh and Houou may be derived from 鳳凰 Hōō, Japanese reading of the Fènghuáng (Chinese phoenix).

I see a lot of confusion over eastern vs western phoenixes, so here's a quick list of fenghuang traits:

They are not specially associated with fire in any way (Ho-oh is still part fire type, but that's probably because fenghuang represent the sun and sometimes hold fireballs)

While very early depictions of fenghuang show them as a mix of different animals, they're more commonly portrayed as a mix of various birds

Colors are usually black, white, red, yellow, and green (note Ho-oh's palette up there)

Often considered a ying-yang counterpart to a dragon (I guess Lugia counts?)

The only similarities Ho-oh has to a western phoenix would be fire-typing (which, like I said, is arguably justified), and some reincarnation aspects. Everything else is 100% fenghuang.

Visually, it's also fine. The colors are well distributed, with two rows of feathers on the wings and a white belly to offset the intense red. I do wish the shape of the tail feathers matched that of the head feathers, but otherwise, it's fine.

So why so I find it underwhelming when the design and concept are good? Hard to say. I think it's mostly just that there's not really a single thing in the design that jumps out, nor is it particularly abstract the way Lugia is. It's just a bird; a perfectly good bird, but a bird none-the-less.

Even though I'm not big on legendaries getting unnecessary forms, I do actually think Ho-Oh could benefit from something like an alternate form or mega. For example, the Pokedex keeps talking about it being associated with rainbows, even though there are are definitely not seven colors in its design*. Why not give it an alternate "true" form that actually has seven colors and really let it own the rainbow theme it kind of has already?

* Disclaimer: This is likely not only to match a fenghuang's colors, but also because early hardware limitations limited Pokemon colors to three plus white and black. Hardware no long has such limitations in the modern day however, so I see no reason not to do it now.

Also, many depictions of the fenghuang show it with long peacock feathers. Why not lengthen the feathers on its head and tail and give them a swirled design to match its head feathers? Combine that with the idea of expanding the palette and you'd have a design that I think would be much more striking overall.

So, overall, Ho-Oh is Fine. It's overall a nicely balanced design with a decent theme; but I think that fairly straightforward visuals hold it back from being as memorable as its counterpart. Still, it works for what it's going for, and it's at least not overworked or messy looking like some other legendaries.

As a final illustration of the sacramental character of the Harry Potter saga, consider the wands of Harry and his nemesis Voldemort as signs which point to something important about the life of God, into which believers are invited in a particular way through Christ. Harry's wand is made of wood from the holly tree, a symbol long associated with Christmas, the feast of the Incarnation. Harry's wand core is a phoenix feather, a symbol of resurrection from death. Voldemort's wand also contains a phoenix feather, but its casing is of yew, another tree with red berries. Unlike holly, yew trees are extremely long-lived and toxic. They have a folkloric association with death as a characteristic tree of churchyards (i.e. graveyards). According to some legends, yew trees "thrive on corpses" and afford wood used in making weapons such as bows. First, it is notable that Harry and Voldemort both have wands with a Phoenix feather core. Rowling emphasizes the parity expressed here by making these feathers come from the same bird, Fawkes the Phoenix, a pet of Dumbledore who dies periodically and is reborn from its own ashes. Phoenixes have long symbolized immortality, and Voldemort's desire for immortality is established early in the books as an evil proclivity. But the fact that Harry's wand possesses the same Phoenix feather core makes an important point. It is not necessarily evil to desire an escape from mortality; it is merely human. As the punishments for the man and woman after their disobedience in Genesis make clear, deathlessness was the original state of created humanity. We were meant to live with God forever in the garden of deathlessness. To desire eternal life is, in one sense, to desire no separation between ourselves and God, and that's a good thing. Tolkien called the human desire for immortality -that "Great Desire from Death" which he said so many fairy tales consider at their core- one of the oldest and deepest of human desires. And it's a desire of all humans, not just bad or evil humans. The difference is how we go about fulfilling this desire. Harry and Voldemort's different approaches to the issue, represented in their differing wand woods, illustrate brilliantly St. Augustine's distinction between two types of love: caritas and cupiditas. "I mean by charity [caritas] that affection of the mind which aims at the enjoyment of God for His own sake, and the enjoyment of oneself and one's neighbor in subordination to God; by lust [cupiditas] I mean the affection of the mind which aims at enjoying one's self and one's neighbor, and other corporeal things, without reference to God" [On Christian Doctrine, III.10]. Harry (holly wood) loves in conformity with Christ, who also begins his story as a child of the Incarnation, the most fragile of human states, and who, like Harry, willingly laid down his own life for the sake of his friends. Harry is utterly unlike Voldemort (yew wood), who loves himself above all, using people and things only for his own self-preservation (thriving on corpses, as it were), with no reference to outward forms of love. For Voldemort, love (cupiditas) is the love of self alone, leading to the death of others, the distortion of his own soul, and the creation of Horcruxes; for Potter, love (caritas) is the love of others, leading to his own death, the cleansing of his soul, and the Cross, or in Harry's case, King's Cross station. But ironically, the Cross is not defeat for Harry, it is victory — it means life beyond the grave. There's a good reason this seven-book saga comes down to a duel by the light of dawn — it comes down to these two wands and what they symbolize: cupiditas and caritas. Of course, the spells each one uses are not arbitrary; they reinforce the message about which kind of loving must prevail. Harry uses Expelliarmus (the disarming spell), while Voldemort uses Avada Kedavra (the Killing Curse, one of Rowling's only spells not derived from Latin). Like Christ, Harry destroys death, personified in Voldemort, not by killing, but by disarming it.

A small series of Persians of my AU by genshin impact

Name: Benjamin Stein

Age: 19

Height: 1.45

Race: Demon

Family: Father and younger brother

Occupation: Inventor

Weapon: Catalyst

Eye of God: Pyro

Based characters: Amber and Bennet

Story: A young guy in his prime. He is the adopted son of local inventor Henry Stein, who was once thrown to him by an unknown person. Nevertheless, the boy grew up in love and care. From early childhood, the demon grew up quite smart and talented, and very early began to help his father in his projects. From early childhood, the young demon admired the local knights, especially Mr. Felix, who was the head of one of the divisions, as a result of which, he vehemently dreamed of joining their ranks. But despite all the tests passed, the guy was never taken, because he did not have one important detail that could affect the result - the absence of the eye of God, “and what kind of eye of God a demon can have, it’s incomprehensible to the mind! » many said.

But despite all the grief, Bendy did not give up every year trying to pass the tests again and again, but that the knights, that the adventurers were afraid to take the demonic boy to him, but he continued to persist until trouble happened. A fire-breathing dragon attacked the city. Almost all the knights and adventurers rushed to its extermination, but all their attempts were trampled by large paws and burned by the hot flame of the lizard. It seemed that everyone was doomed when one small black miracle came across the eyes of the fire-breathing creature, which came at him with a strange invention - it was a cannon that fired its first shot, and a massive core stuffed with various potions flew into the lizard, which tried to cool the ardor of the creature, but it was even. The weapon was shattered, and the demon and his loved ones were threatened.

When the dragon was about to melt those who dared to oppose him, something shone next to Benjamin, who was lying in the blackout floor. It was he—the very eye of God! He lay on top of the brunette's notebook, which he constantly carried with him. Without thinking twice, the demon inserted the artifact in place of the broken bookmark and headed straight for the lizard, which was already heating up the flames to destroy its enemies. Without understanding the spoken words and what is happening now, the guy’s book shone and hovered at the level of his chest, and its sheets turned over like a fierce fan. Behind him, a mysterious seal formed. Print in the form of a physalis flower, often associated with the Phoenix bird itself. "Life within death". Covered in appearance with withered leaves, which gradually open, revealing a bright, perfectly round, amber berry that has blossomed as well as the horned boy's talent.

After many years of rot and rejection by society, all covered with a dead shell that always crushed a polite smile and seemed not to notice all the hardships, it finally collapsed, crumbled into pieces, fell off like the rotten leaves of this nightshade fruit, exposing its bright, like this berry, the desire to protect your loved ones, this city and do something good for this world. After finishing the spell, the guy's hand, clad in thick gloves, like a quick arrow, shot out a ruby-red flame that met with the dragon's amber flame, lining up in bright, shining, fiery jets that opposed each other. But the inflamed passion of the demon, ignited by this ray of reliability, was stronger than the blind fury of the fire-breathing creature. The demon's flame began to absorb the lizard's flame, slowly but surely pushing it away from the walls of the city until it reached its muzzle, severely burning the thick scaly skin.

The dragon screamed in pain and not sickly smoked muzzle, cowardly crawling away from the city.Soon the city was rebuilt, and the demon was nominated for a reward, and of course, many proposals were put forward for him to join many subdivisions of the knightly order, only now ... Benjamin no longer needed it. Being at the sight of dragon fire and only seconds separated his life and the lives of his loved ones from a painful death, he realized that he did not have to be a knight or an adventurer to help make this world a better place, no one would forbid him to bring good, if he were not dressed in shining armor. Even if he was giving up on his childhood dream of being led by Felix himself. He has already chosen his path. And to this day, this guy spends time in the Stein family workshop, making and inventing new devices, improving the old ones along the way. Although they are not always successful and the demon spends sleepless nights in their creation, he is truly happy.

Here's a little story, I hope you like it

Secondly, this is a very flattering message. I'd love to see this if you do decide to make it. Tag me if you want, or send a message. If you post to ao3 and want to use the inspired by tag on ao3, that's also cool.

Thank you, and I'm really happy that you enjoyed the fic enough to reimagine it.

@imarahuyo sent: HEAL :  for one muse to nurse the other back to health from a sickness or injury. ( for birb suzaku ❤️ )

a prompt from over a month ago that i've lost asioduasdaf

was it some land borne illness that had the mermaiden under such duress? from her sniffles and small coughs, he thought it would have been much better for her to return to the sea to heal, but much to his surprise, she wanted to stay with him. perhaps it was due to the warm temperature or the fevers that rendered her unable to do anything than walk short distances for a meal. but the flame bird wanted to make life easier for her, at least for the next few weeks while the illness ran its course. and on this day, it would be no different.

waking up early to gather water from the nearby well in the village, he would return to their makeshift home. he takes a hold of a scented towel spiced with lavender and dips it into the pale of water that was now being warmed by the fire. suzaku returns to the side of his flame and daps it against her head. ❝ are you feeling better, dearest? ❞ asks the phoenix gently, taking a warm soup that he was brewing from the same fire.

he helps her sit up and offers the spoon, blowing on it gently to cool it down before offering it to her, hand steady to prevent any spillage onto her clothes. ❝ get this in your system, it's a chicken soup with a hint of honey... it should help your throat and cough. ❞

suzaku on day one was tempted to heal her himself with the use of one of his regenerative feathers, but he wanted her to experience some semblance of mortality. immortals like them were always so privileged with the ability to heal their injuries and illnesses much faster than others, or sometimes being immune to such concepts of pain at all. the positives and negatives of the land was what she wanted to teach her. cruel? perhaps, but at least he could pamper her properly.

once the soup was ingested by her, he takes the towel and warms it up in his hands once more before running it gently over her neck and arms, being careful and slow. flaming hues burned with love and affection for the maiden that he had grown so fond of.

❝ you should be alright soon, just stay strong, okay? i'm right beside you. ❞

@nvrcmplt said (inbox):

Wings flutter, the breeze warms and branches creak under the weight of the great flame... though, it goes within a blink. A flicker of a candle instead of an inferno with ash under its wake. The beast of white feathers stare with ease, a haunting size but shattered upon another movement of gliding across the yard. Swords, sweat and grunts of training - one of many, their flame stood out the most and that's where the bird of flame landed. Long tail feathers shudder with peacock like shuffling, its crest wobbled as the beak nears the floor and wings adjust their stretch to nest at its ribs. A hop of talons then it settles upon the disregarded haori of the hashira's flame. A nest for one such as itself. Jiyuna, was happy to make itself home in such warm clothing, preening even at unruly feathers amongst the crows that began to flock at his greatness.

KYOJURO ALWAYS MADE SURE to train whenever he returned from a mission. Although time between such things was rather small, he still enjoyed moments where he could slip that in. Hashira hardly ever had a chance to do such things, and for that, he did, at times, envy the younger Slayers. Lifting his hand, he wiped his brows with the back of it, his gaze turning toward the sky as he squinted up at the sun burning brightly above. Was it the afternoon already? He had been at this since early in the wee hours of the morning, sword in hand and muscles now starting to scream at him to sit down and take a break. Plopping down on the nearby engawa, he leaned back upon his hands, merely allowing his body temperature to slowly match the faint chill around him. Ah, he felt so invigorated! If his crow showed up to proclaim that there was demon he needed to slay, he certainly be warmed up enough to simply get straight to it. While he pondered getting himself some water, Kyojuro paused as his gaze fell upon his haori, a familiar, yet unexpected guest currently making themselves comfortable.

     Wasn’t that the phoenix that he had helped? What were they still doing here? The other nearby crows seemed quite taken with the majestic bird, all of them chattering away as they looked upon them with their glorious feathers looking twice as majestic beneath the brightness of the sun’s rays. Had it snowed, no doubt they would have truly looked even more breathtaking than they did now. Smiling, he called out, greeting his company as manners demanded. ❝I hope you had a good morning, my friend! I would have thought that you’d have taken to the mountains away from everyone, but I’m happy that you decided to come and visit me.❞ The fact that they felt so comfortable in his presence spoke volumes, all of which made Kyojuro faintly amused that this bird who was said to appear before royalty, chose him to show themselves to.

A guardian gorilla appears in the episode of the Martial Arts Boy Kkomang Pyramid, but dies of a sternum smashed right after the performance… [36]

In Fallout 4, which deals with the world roughly destroyed by nuclear war, a synth gorilla created by the Institute appears. So not a real gorilla, but a kind of android gorilla. In the DLC Nuka World, gorillas that were raised in a zoo before the Great War, but became ghouls due to exposure to radiation, appear. However, unlike his appearance, seeing that 보이즈 플래닛 다시보기 1회-12회_완결 Mnet 1080phe took care of orphaned children like family, he was quite docile unlike all the ferocious monsters and animals in the wasteland. It is a perfect parody of Tarzan in that it is a man who only wears pants and is a gorilla family member.

SBS' Internet radio program 'Gorilla' got its motif from this animal, and it is also the mascot of the NBA team Phoenix Suns. It is widely distributed in East Asia, Sout보이즈 플래닛 다시보기 1회-12회_완결 Mnet 1080pheast Asia, and South Asia, including Korea, China, Taiwan, and Japan.[16] The active season is from April to October. hibernates in November Due to the habit of building a nest in the ground, it builds a nest only in places with abundant vegetation such as hills and forests.

The larvae eat chunks of meat from other animals, while the adults only eat liquids such as sap, honey, and wasp juice shared by the larvae.[17] The adult wasp hunt보이즈 플래닛 다시보기 1회-12회_완결 Mnet 1080ps something and turns it into dumplings to bring to the larvae. The larvae then digest and absorb some of it for their own nutrition, and some of it is made into wasp juice and served to the adults. The long-lived wasp solves everything with its powerful mandibles when hunting, attacking, or repelling insects. The bite force of the longevity wasp is quite strong. It only uses its sting to attack opponents much larger tha보이즈 플래닛 다시보기 1회-12회_완결 Mnet 1080pn itself (rats, birds, humans, etc.). Even among wasps, they have a very vicious temperament, so even if there is no direct threat, if they are wrong, they see the opponent as a potential danger and actively attack it.

Like most wasps, it is a single lifespan and does not live more than one year. Therefore, it is safe to consider almost all large giant wasps in April when they wake up from hibernation or in late autumn when they are about to go into hibernation after mating, but these queen bees, unlike the q보이즈 플래닛 다시보기 1회-12회_완결 Mnet 1080pueen bees of honey bees that live for several years, go through the winter only for one year and then die for the next year. It dies in the late fall of the year.

It builds a nest with pulp made by kneading cellulose scraped off tree bark with its mandibles with saliva, and covers it with a round wall unique to wasps. Unlike other ho보이즈 플래닛 다시보기 1회-12회_완결 Mnet 1080prnets, longevity wasps live only in places where their nests can be completely covered, such as in the ground or on tree stumps. Therefore, mountains and forests are their habitats, and nests are rarely found in urban areas. This is the period when the size of the colony gradually increases. The worker bees laid by the queen bee begin their activities, and when the worker bees begin their activities, the q보이즈 플래닛 다시보기 1회-12회_완결 Mnet 1080pueen bee sits in the house and concentrates on laying eggs. Adult bees fly steadily during the morning, seeking food to bring to the larvae. As the colony grows, so does the size of the worker bees. In early spring and summer, the size of the colony is small, and there are many small and nimble worker bees. The little worker bees fly around and nimbly hunt other bugs, chewing them with their mouths and turning them into meat dumplings. Its jaws are so po보이즈 플래닛 다시보기 1회-12회_완결 Mnet 1080pwerful that it can hunt most insects, as well as aerobatics and scarabs with hard exoskeletons.[18] In addition, spiders, which are natural enemies of insects, or mantises, which are at the top of the insect food chain, can be deprived of their prey or conversely eaten by long-lived wasps.[19] Caterpillars do not prepare their food only by hunting insects, so they also pick up and transport fresh corpse meat, and sometimes break into people's homes and cut out the meat they put out to steal.[20]

As autumn approaches, the worker bee population becomes larger and larger. As it grew in size, its mobility slowed down, but its strength became more powerful, and it began to plunder rather than hunt. It is a nemesis of beekeepers because it mainly targets other hives where large amounts of food보이즈 플래닛 다시보기 1회-12회_완결 Mnet 1080p can be obtained. Once the scout goes out and wanders around and finds another hive, he puts an attack pheromone on it and returns to lead the main body. When they catch a prey that does not need to be cut, such as a caterpillar, they just chew it well and take it with their jaws. When it hunts adult insects, it hangs upside down with only one hind leg hanging on a tree trunk, etc., hugs the victim with the other five legs, and cuts off the head, wings, legs, and belly wi보이즈 플래닛 다시보기 1회-12회_완결 Mnet 1080pth its mandibles. When a bee type is caught, it eats all the honey left in the stomach. Afterwards, chew the chest part well to make dumplings and feed them to the larvae. The behavior of preying by hanging upside down is common among wasps.

Larvae claim food by scratching the walls of the hive with their jaws.[21] Upon hearing the scratching sound, the adult insect recognizes that the larvae are hungry and goes out to catch food, gathering food and only after the younger larvae have calmed down to find an oak tree sap source to sit 보이즈 플래닛 다시보기 1회-12회_완결 Mnet 1080pdown and drink the sap to replenish their energy.[22] In addition to this, it is also the responsibility of worker bees to chew tree trunks and bring them to build a new house, to expand the house by digging the ground, and to stand guard in front of the house. A satiated caterpillar does not scratch the wall. At this time, when the adult asks for food by beating the stomach with antennae, the caterpillar regurgitates wasp juice and feeds it to the adult.[23] Even when hunting is not smooth due to the rainy season, the adult insect asks the caterpillar for food, but the caterpillar does not vomit wasp juice when it is보이즈 플래닛 다시보기 1회-12회_완결 Mnet 1080p hungry. The adult then bites and crushes the caterpillar's neck with its powerful mandibles, squeezing it forcefully, forcing the wasp juice to be expelled from its stomach. Exploited caterpillars hatch to relatively small sizes.
