LOVE Aqua's desgin. She reminds me of the enuma elish somewhat, with how the first two gods were embodiments of water in it, and how they did not like the noise of other life at first. She is so pretty the way water almost envelops her? I can just imagine it shimmering and ohhh I adore it. And her hairstyle makes me think of pearlstrings

Thank you so much!!

That is very interesting, I mostly took inspiration from Pemon's origin mythology to create her, but I am happy to see the lore and myth of creation I did is sound.

For her design, there are these round stones in the lake of Gran Sabana created from the water erosion that makes them perfectly round. The Pemón call them the grandparents of the fish. When they are taken out of the water, they usually tell you to put the stone back in the water so the stone can still try to reach their water family.

Here are some rough initial designs I did for her!

My idea was to give her an elemental veil to give her that sense of elegance but she can also move it at will (Vaporize it when she doesn't need it or turn it into ice if she needs a shield)

Sobre Salvajes

Los pemones de la Gran Sabana llaman al rocío Chiriké-yeetakuú, que significa Saliva de las Estrellas; a las lágrimas Enú-parupué, que quiere decir Guarapo de los Ojos, y al corazón Yewán-enapué: Semilla del Vientre. Los waraos del delta del Orinoco dicen Mejo-koji (El Sol del Pecho) para nombrar al alma. Para decir amigo dicen Ma-jokaraisa: Mi Otro Corazón. Y para decir olvidar dicen Emonikitane, que quiere decir Perdonar. Los muy tontos no saben lo que dicen. Para decir tierra dicen madre Para decir madre dicen ternura Para decir ternura dicen entrega Tienen tal confusión de sentimientos que con toda razón las buenas gentes que somos les llamamos salvajes.

character descriptions below (includes spoilers)

Nica Pierce is an iconic lead from the Child’s Play franchise! She serves as the 3rd protagonist. She’s a 25 year old paraplegic woman who has dropped out of college, presumably to take care of her mentally unstable mother. Following the shocking presumed suicide of her mother, Nica proceeds to experience a night of horror that will change her life forever. She realizes that Chucky knew her mother before she had been born, and that he had become obsessed with her. When this didn’t work out, Chucky stabbed her mother in the stomach, causing complications that resulted in Nica’s paralysis. Despite nearly everyone in the house falling victim to Chucky, Nica perseveres, proving to be a truly iconic final girl.

However, four years later, as Nica is now in an insane asylum, after being wrongfully accused of the murder of her family, Chucky seeks her out again. This time however, he doesn’t attempt to kill her, instead possessing her, giving us the franchise’s first on screen human possession by Chucky!

Two weeks later, Nica is woken up by a shocking realization that her body has been puppeted around by Chucky, without her realizing it. Throughout the television show, Nica tries desperately to save herself and escape Chucky and Tiffany’s grasp, and only achieves this by the end of the second season. But luckily the TV show isn’t real so we don’t need to worry about that too much ^_^

Jojo serves as Fiona’s first ever film role. Down in the bayou, Jojo is a prostitute, just trying to make ends meet. When a local man named Beaux, hires her to help his mentally disabled brother Pemon celebrate his birthday, she obliges. On their date, she is shocked by Pemon’s genuine kindness and affection towards her, commenting how no one had ever given her flowers before. After being hired for a second time, Jojo shows up, but with the original payment from her first visit, saying she doesn’t need it anymore. Jojo genuinely cares for Pemon and seems to want to pursue a genuine relationship with him. However this is all cut short when Pemon’s ableist father catches them together, and kills Jojo in a rage, framing Pemon for her murder.

Monte Roraima, also known as a tepui, is located at the tri-junction of Venezuela, Brazil, and Guyana, predominantly within Venezuela's Canaima National Park. Rising approximately 2,810 meters (9,219 feet) above sea level, its sheer cliffs soar up to 400 meters (1,300 feet) high. The flat summit, often veiled in clouds, spans about 31 square kilometers (12 square miles), featuring unique rock formations, deep crevices, and a distinct ecosystem with rare flora, including carnivorous plants.

Monte Roraima is one of the oldest geological formations on Earth, dating back around 2 billion years. It holds cultural significance for the indigenous Pemon and Kapon peoples, who regard it as a sacred site. Besides its geological and cultural importance, Monte Roraima has inspired literature, including Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Lost World."

A mysterious table-topped mountain on the Venezuela-Brazil border that perplexed 19th century explorers and inspired "The Lost World" novel is attracting ever more modern-day adventurers. Once impenetrable to all but the local Pemon indigenous people, now several thousand trekkers a year make the six-day hike across Venezuela's savannah, through rivers, and up a narrow path that scales Mount Roraima's 600-meter cliff-faces. While that is a help to Venezuela's tottering tourism industry and brings revenues to local communities, it is also scattering a prehistoric landscape with unwanted litter.

León Magno Montiel @leonmagnom Los hombres de las ínsulas se levantan entre la sal, el sol, las arenas ardientes y el mar que reparte vida y muerte en un mismo compás. Para ellos el mar es un jardín sumergido, otras veces; un desierto verdoso. En ese entorno natural soberbio, los habitantes de las islas forman su carácter, en medio de esa biodiversidad llena de vida, de poesía, de peligros y asechanzas: se determina la índole de su sangre. Gustavo Pereira es un hombre de la isla, nació el 7 de marzo de 1940 en Paraguachoa, que significa "La isla de las perlas en voz guaquerí". En el sector Punta de Piedras exactamente. El primer hijo del matrimonio inusitado y novelesco que formaron Ofelia Salazar, bella margariteña, y el aventurero Benito Perera (sin la i, hasta ese momento. Luego adoptó el Pereira). Su padre quedó huérfano y lo protegió, lo levantó Monseñor Pellín, lo educó bajo su égida, su férrea tutela. Benito Perera en su adultez, recorrió las selvas venezolanas, fue un pionero de las redes ferroviarias en el país. Era de ascendencia italiana, conocía bien esa cultura. Ofelia era una mujer contemplativa, una buena lectora, una dama serena. La juventud de Gustavo estuvo siempre circunscrita al Oriente de Venezuela, entre Puerto La Cruz y los pueblos aledaños. Se formó en la Universidad Central de Venezuela en la carrera de Derecho en 1963, por esos años vivía entre oriente y la Caracas, la megalópolis cultural que lo sedujo; entonces comenzaba su militancia política con los movimientos de izquierda. En 1980 se marchó en París para realizar el Doctorado en Letras Hispánicas, trabajó sobre "Los Cronistas de las Indias", su lenguaje, durante dos intensos años permaneció en la cuidad luz. Su brillante tesis doctoral selló su maridaje con las culturas primigenias del continente americano. Él es un sabio de esa fuente: la cultura indoamericana. Pereira ha reflejado en su poesía la pasión india que lo envuelve, es un descubridor de los misterios de los pueblos originarios, desde México a la Patagonia sigue indagando sus riquezas artísticas, su mundo agreste y originario. Cuando tenía 12 años de edad, tuvo un tránsito relampagueante por la ciudad de Maracaibo, allí estudió en el año 1952, conoció la ciudad puerto, ensenada de poetas, la madre de la gaita, la urbe amante del lago. En 1953 regresó a su Puerto La Cruz, a los 16 años publicó su primer plaquete de poemas. Desde entonces no ha cesado de publicar, tiene una veintena de títulos de su autoría: poemarios, ensayos, antologías de su obra, artículos arbitrados, varios tomos han sido traducidos. En 1967 se casa con Maureen Pacheco y tienen tres hijos, que son fuentes de su creación literaria más personal. En 1992 Gustavo Pereira publicó su poema irónico y reivindicativo, "Sobre Salvajes" que tuvo una gran repercusión en el mundo literario e intelectual: "Los pemones de La Gran Sabana llaman al rocío chiriké yeetakuú, que significa saliva de las estrellas. A las lágrimas enú parupué, que quiere decir guarapo de los ojos. Y al corazón yemán enapue: semilla del vientre. Los waraos del Delta del Orinoco dicen mejokoji (el sol del pecho) para nombrar el alma.Y para decir olvidar dicen emonikitane, que quiere decir perdonar. Los muy tontos no saben lo que dicen; para decir tierra dicen madre para decir madre dicen ternura para decir ternura dicen entrega. Tiene tal confusión de sentimientos que con toda razón las buenas gentes que somos los llamamos salvajes." El poeta Gustavo Pereira Salazar es un hombre poseedor de una colosal cultura, un sabio del lenguaje, maestro de la historia y las tradiciones venezolanas. Eso propició que fuese elegido para redactar el preámbulo de la Constitución de la República Bolivariana de Venezuela en 1998, logrando un texto admirable. En ese momento fungía como parlamentario. Por esos días, él había definido la cultura como el eje de salvación de cualquier país, junto a la justicia y la libertad; son las tres banderas indivisibles que debemos llevar en ristre:

"Donde existe cultura no hay miseria, en un barrio o en una urbanización cuyos habitantes han tenido acceso a la cultura puede encontrarse pobreza, pero no miseria. Porque la cultura es una salida a la miseria. No hay un proceso de transformación política si no hay un proceso de transformación cultural." Como ser insular, individuo meditabundo de los misterios del mar, Gustavo plasma en su poesía la belleza y la fuerza de las mareas, el llanto de los naufragios, las arenas retorcidas por la resaca, la lenta agonía de las embarcaciones corroídas por el salitre. Así cantó en su poema "Pisada", de 1981: "La hallé esta mañana en la arena, ni la alta marea ni los vientos pudieron llevársela. Brilla como una moneda nueva en medio de la playa húmeda". Luego de leer el grueso de su obra y de conocer el universo pereriano, concluyo que este poeta margariteño es un bastión del amor a nuestro país, es una voz que le ha cantado a sus raíces y goza de absoluta vigencia. Logró una clara valoración del colectivo hispano, de sus connacionales, quienes lo escuchan o lo leen con pasión. Sus somaris son intuiciones poéticas de relampagueante belleza, los vemos en agendas, mensajes digitales, recitados en la radio, en epígrafes, son parte del quehacer venezolano. Los somaris son poemas breves que se inspiran en los haikus japoneses, en los epigramas griegos; pero son una creación de Gustavo Pereira, que seguirán apareciendo hasta en grafitis. Tiene la frescura, la espontaneidad y síntesis que este tiempo exige, acordes con la actual sociedad de la información: "Me sé perdido en ti Me se envuelto en tu madeja no puedo saber cómo zafarme de tu abrazo ¿Cómo diablo zafarme de tu abrazo? Esta desconocida sustancia de desdichas me lleva hasta tu vientre y desde allí puedo ver cómo la mañana penetra en ti. Tu risa es para mi la puerta abierta del tiempo que vendrá, y en tus abrazos soy muelle con barcos y sueños." Una faceta poco difundida en la vida del gran poeta Pereira es su vocación por el dibujo y la pintura, a ese quehacer de óleos y pinceles dedicó muchos días, muchas horas, y logró crear obras hermosas. Lo inspiró su admiración por los grandes pintores y su amor por el color: "Ando en pos de los azules y del rojo que es la pasión", afirmó. Es un devoto perdido de Marc Chagal, de Vicent Van Gogh y Max Ernest. Honores al poeta isleño, vivas para el escritor venezolano que celebró 80 años de edad entre cantos de coral y odas de la marejada. Hombre que cada día se hace más universal, más vital. El rapsoda oriental Gustavo Pereira: un hombre de mar, con su extraño corazón, como diría Stevenson.

🌟 Angel Falls: The Mightiest Waterfall of The Earth 🌟

Nestled deep within the heart of the Venezuelan jungle lies a natural wonder that seems almost divine in its beauty and scale. Angel Falls, or "Salto Ángel" as it's known locally, is a breathtaking testament to the power of nature. In this article, we'll take you on a virtual journey to discover the majesty of the world's tallest waterfall and its awe-inspiring surroundings.

1. The Divine Descent 🌊 Angel Falls plunges an astounding 3,212 feet (979 meters) from the edge of Auyán-tepui, one of the many towering table mountains found in Venezuela's Canaima National Park. Imagine a column of water taller than the Eiffel Tower descending from the heavens, creating a mesmerizing spectacle.

2. Auyán-tepui: The Lost World 🏞️ Auyán-tepui, the plateau from which Angel Falls descends, is often referred to as "The Lost World." It's an apt name, as this otherworldly landscape seems like something out of a science fiction novel. Rugged cliffs, dense vegetation, and a sense of isolation make it a unique and mystical place.

3. The Discovery 🔍 Angel Falls was named after Jimmy Angel, an American aviator who crash-landed on Auyán-tepui in 1933 while searching for valuable ore deposits. His accidental discovery of the falls brought global attention to this natural wonder.

4. The Indigenous Pemon People 👣 The Pemon people, the indigenous inhabitants of the region, have revered Angel Falls for centuries. They call it "Kerepakupai Merú," which translates to "waterfall of the deepest place." For them, it holds deep spiritual significance.

5. Chasing Waterfalls: A Must-Visit Destination 🌄 Visiting Angel Falls is an adventure in itself. The journey involves a combination of hiking, riverboat rides, and navigating the challenging terrain of Canaima National Park. The effort is undoubtedly worth it for the chance to witness this natural masterpiece up close.

6. The Rainforest Oasis 🌿 Surrounding Angel Falls is a lush rainforest teeming with biodiversity. The park is a UNESCO World Heritage site, home to an incredible array of flora and fauna, including rare orchids and elusive jaguars.

7. When to Visit 🌤️ The best time to visit Angel Falls is during the wet season, typically from June to November. During this period, the falls are at their most magnificent, with water thundering down in all its glory.

8. Local Guides and Eco-Tourism 🌳 Exploring this pristine wilderness requires the expertise of local guides who understand the terrain and respect the delicate ecosystem. Eco-tourism initiatives in the region promote responsible travel that benefits both visitors and the environment.

9. A Natural Sound and Light Show 🌈 Rainbows often grace the base of Angel Falls, adding a magical touch to an already enchanting scene. The sight of sunlight refracting through the cascading mist is nothing short of spectacular.

10. A Cinematic Wonder 🎥 Angel Falls has captured the imagination of filmmakers worldwide. It served as the inspiration for Paradise Falls in Disney-Pixar's "Up" and has featured in numerous documentaries and adventure films.

Angel Falls is not merely a waterfall; it's a testament to the grandeur of nature and the spirit of exploration. If you're seeking a journey into the heart of the Venezuelan jungle to witness this marvel, you'll be rewarded with memories that will last a lifetime. Whether you're an adventurer, a nature enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the splendor of our planet, Angel Falls is a destination that should be on your bucket list. 🌎✨

We propose the common name, Northern Green Anaconda, for Eunectes akayima sp. nov. Before the arrival of the Spaniards, northern Venezuela was occupied by various Indigenous nations, among which the Caribs were an important group. Several Carib nations remain including the Kariña, Panare, Yekuana, Pemones, and Akawaio. The word for anaconda in various Cariban languages is a variant of akayima/okoyimo/okoimo, in which akayi/okoyi/okoi means “snake” and the suffix -ima/-imo means “large”. The suffix -ima/-imo does not necessarily mean ‘large’ in a physical sense. Rather, it is used to denote the kind of largeness that indicates a different category of being. The literal translation of akayima is “The Great Snake” (S. Gildea pers. Communication). [...] We, therefore, acknowledge the culture of these Indigenous people who share their territories with this species by adopting their word for anaconda as the specific epithet for this new species. We propose the common name for E. murinus as Southern Green Anaconda, to promote taxonomic stability for the most widely distributed species and avoid confusion.

hi do y'all mind if i misuse this blog entirely for a second. idk why i'm asking i don't actually care they found a new snake it's a New Snake we didn't know about this snake before!!!!

VENEZUELA Canaima National Park and "tepui" mountain formations 👇👇👇

A tepui is a table-top mountain in Venezuela. The word tepui means "house of the gods" in the native tongue of the Pemon, the indigenous people who inhabit the Gran Sabana.

[sargentopimienta]

Los pemones de la Gran Sabana

llaman al rocío Chirïke-yeetakuú

que significa Saliva de las Estrellas;

A las lágrimas Enú-parupué

que quiere decir Guarapo de los Ojos,

y al corazón Yewán-enapué:

Semilla del Vientre.

Los waraos del Delta del Orinoco dicen Mejokoji

(El Sol del Pecho) para nombrar el Alma.

Para decir amigo dicen Ma-jokaraisa: Mi otro corazón.

Y para decir olvidar, dicen: Emonikitane,

que quiere decir Perdonar.

Los muy tontos no saben lo que dicen

Para decir Tierra dicen Madre

Para decir Madre dicen Ternura

Para decir Ternura dicen Entrega

Tienen tal confusión de sentimientos

que con toda razón

las buenas gentes que somos

les llamamos salvajes.

Ctrl + N : an opportunity to start

Richard was quite possibly the most adventurous man in the universe (well, maybe second to the guy below).

At least that’s what he called himself. In reality, Richard had never stepped foot outside his hometown, been close to a near-death experience, nor had he even tried a bite of foreign food. 

But Richard had the spirit of an adventurer. In particular, he had a fascination with Mount Roraima. The beautiful rock had captured his heart ever since he saw a picture as a young boy. Since then, he’d collected every magazine, poster, and calendar featuring the mountain. The only thing he hadn’t collected was a postcard. 

Indeed, Richard’s obsession was to the point where he’d scourge the internet to search research, articles, and cool facts about Roraima. His PC window never left this search. 

One day, Richard was at the library, using the computer to scroll through Google images of the mountain, when an older gentleman noticed his screen.

“She’s a beauty, that Roraima,” The man said from behind. 

Startled, Richard looked behind. 

The man was in his sixties, but the only indication of his age was his greying hair and his fiery green eyes which gleamed with a lifetime of experience. Otherwise, he was much taller, fitter, and stronger than the young Richard. 

“H-h-have you been?” Richard squeaked nervously. 

“I know that mountain like the palm of my hand – which, by the way, you’ll need a strong one to climb those cliffs!” The man grinned. “You’ve been before?” 

Richard pointed to his search window. He shook his head and responded, this time with more confidence. 

“I’m an expert though. I’ve done all the studying. I can tell you that the Pemon Indians view her as the stump of the world’s largest tree. I can tell you that she makes the weather unpredictable; one second, rain, the next, fog. I can tell you it takes exactly 25 hours, 11 minutes to get up there for a man of your stature. I know all about Roraima. ”

The man stared at Richard; his eyes blinking in confusion.

“Son, that’s impressive. But I’m afraid you won’t know all about her from words and pixels alone. Until you feel the rain instantly evaporate into misty fog or your muscles ache after those brutal 25 hours… and er – you said 11 minutes? – until the very moment that your eyes meet her gaze and you finally understand why anyone would believe she’s the world’s largest tree stump – well, until then, you��won’t know her. True knowledge comes from living.” 

The man patted Richard on the back and saluted him goodbye. Richard stared blankly at the screen, which was now on the National Geographic website "Into the Lost World of Mount Roraima".

But Richard knew, that no matter how much he learned about Mount Roraima, he would still know nothing more.

He’d wanted nothing more in life than to see her. And here he was with this dream but walking the wrong route towards it. Richard decided he’d take a leap. 

He took a breath, cracked his knuckles, steadied his shaky fingers, and turned to the computer. Richard felt a surge of excitement as he exited the current window. The music of his heart played an emotional tune.

He opened a new window, this time typing “Plane ticket to Venezuela”.

“Roraima, let us meet at last,” he said as he clicked ‘Enter’.
