[beanoptodon]

Here is a little friend I made in conjunction with my username; Beanoptodon! Meaning bean eye teeth, they have very big eyes, and lots of small teeth to hunt small fish and bugs out of the ponds and swamps where it resided. An intermediate species between spinosauridae and dromeosauridae, it is very light-footed, but semi-aquatic. Using its sailed tail for propulsion, it wades in shallow still waters in search of small water bugs and baby fish. The whiskers all over its body are sensory feathers, and exist over all parts of the body. The streamlined and flatter feathers are more built for swimming and keeping water off of the non-scaly skin than for steering during quick bouts of running, making it somewhat clumsy when it comes to turning while running or chasing. The feathers on top are for attracting mates and can be laid flat for camouflage or puffed up to make it seem larger than it is, and to confuse bigger hunters. Its small size (60cm long and 30cm tall) is where the prefix Bean came from. Totally.

Noun:

a person too content with their current situation to leave, regardless of the pain the situation may bring them

example sentence poem:

the buzzing of cicadas in my head is too loud today,

the life i live is too cluttered for anything but

ants and bees,

ants and bees

i care too much for my ants and bees to worry about the real world,

trapped in a terrarium, they dont want for freedom,

and if my bugs dont, then why should i

my friends told me i need to stop with the bugs already,

but those pathetic mantises excusing themselves as people,

they just want to eat my ants and bees,

my precious ants and bees

am i too like a butterfly? at what point will i decide to spin my cocoon or am i

already in it?

one day will i break free from my own prison

and then,

and then.

the world will tell me to show my wings,

fly away!

but ill laugh,

and go back to my ants and bees

vaguely fascinated by osana sov's naming choices. she chose for her daughter a name that can mean "bitter (strength)" or "lady" in two ancient languages (hebrew and aramaic) and for her son a name that means "old friend" in another ancient language (old english)

like every other golden age character has a name that's pretty normal by our standards, which tbh includes mara, then osana just names her other kid uldwyn. then again, even osana's name is either a variant of the hebrew hosanna or after an obscure and possibly fictitious old english princess-saint whose name means something along the lines of "godly solitude", so i suppose mara might be considered the odd one out

There's a million, billion, trillion stars But I'm down here low Fussin' over scars on my soul On my soul, on my soul On my soul, on my soul, I am so 「INFINITESIMAL」, oh

「INFINITESIMAL」 initially manifests as a pair of large, semi-corporeal hands with raptor-like talons. It starts with a moderate range of approximately 8 meters and is capable of moving at impressive speeds. While quite sharp, the talons are not particularly deadly. They have a strong grip and are capable of physical attacks, but that is not their intended use.

「INFINITESIMAL」 has a signature ability referred to as "transference". Should its talons pierce both the user and another individual, the user can transfer "something of theirs" to the individual. The exact parameters of what constitutes as such are unclear, but some examples of what can be transferred include: physical sensations, emotions, and souls. It is possible for the user to "retrieve" things that have been transferred if a subject is pierced again.

Namesake

Through golden gates, my namesake

She exonerates my existence

I follow her down past

Persian rugs, patience woven into

Every step, my namesake

Knew she had more

Left to leave me with

Gold drapes my neck, 

My wrist,

My tongue drips her name

When she calls me home,

It seldom rings the same

I understand that Dragon Age: Origins was released in 2009, but key boards have NOT changed in the last 15 years, so there HAD to have been a better way to make the controls... (yes, I know keybind changing is a thing, but that doesn't change the issue of the available options of what to bind to keys being very clunky. Like dear god, the camera maneuvering is TERRIBLE, holy shit.)

Doramitsu in Latest Pazuribe Special Event: Having A Trip* to Okayama

*by that, I mean, having a date

Draken was the one who proposed the idea of visiting Okayama, suggesting to go to a shrine called Ryusenji Temple.

It's very interesting that the temple was to enshrine Dragon-related Gods, it was like the Twin Dragons was paying homage to the shrine with their namesake. (I would also like to remind you all, that both Draken and Mitsuya's name contain Dragon in them).

Same Name, Different Ages.

Two Aredhels in different stories.

Aredhel Ar-Feiniel (Irissë)

"...she was fearless and hardy of heart, as were all the children of Finwë" ― Quenta Silmarillion, "Of Maeglin"

Aredhel, also called Ar-Feiniel or the White Lady of the Noldor, was the third child and only daughter of Fingolfin, High King of the Noldor, and Anairë who herself was also a Noldo. Her elder brothers were Fingon and Turgon, and her youngest brother was Argon. Much later in Beleriand, she became the mother of Maeglin, whose father was Eöl, "the Dark Elf".

Aredhel was tall and strong, fond of hunting and riding in the forests. Her skin was pale and her hair dark; she always wore silver and white. She was fond of the sons of Fëanor, especially Celegorm and Curufin.

Arelle Ar-Luinuen (Aredhel The Noble Blue Maiden; Aiarmaiue)

"...And Arelle Ar-Luinuen, a hushed awe fell over the gathered family members. Dressed in a beautiful robe with the hues of the morning sky. Dark brown with the silver highlights were her wavy braided hair, and her eyes sparkled like the seawater reflected under the sun." —The Elemmírion, Sinyatuilë (Draft)

Arelle Ar-Luinuen, named after the renowned Aredhel Ar-Feiniel, emerges as one of the characterd appeared in "The Elemmírion". Born on either 27 March 1991, her heritage weaves together the noble lineage of Elves and the mortal roots of humanity—25/32 Elf (Falmarin) and 7/32 Human.

She was proficient as a young markswoman by wielding a rifle, also her calling extends beyond the Seventh Age as she embraces the role of a healer. Her compassionate nature and innate understanding of both Elven and human anatomy make her a formidable force in mending wounds and ailments.

Brief Background: Arelle is the eldest daughter of Aiardil Alatarāto Oiolótë (Aeardil Galadrod Uilóth), a prominent Lord of the Elendëan Teleri and the current scion of the Great House of Olwë via the Off-branch House of Oiolótë, and Alcarino Tomislav Brković, son of a Peredhel Elanor II Artanárë who was sorted into Slytherin.

Etymology: The name "Arelle Ar-Luinuen" is a Telerin cognate of the Sindarin name meaning "Aredhel, the Noble Blue Maiden."
